Chapter 14

It has been two days since Zong Qixiu returned to Dayong, as before, he kept his door behind closed doors, and there were no guests.Until this evening, he had already had dinner and was reading a book under the lamp when Si Jing led Zhang Zhizhen in.Zhang Zhizhen came in and knelt down and kowtowed: "The second prince has worked hard all the way."

Zong Qixiu put down the book, asked him to get up, let Si Jing take a seat, and said: "As long as things can be done, this is nothing!"

Zhang Zhizhen smiled and said: "He asked me to come tonight, I'm afraid you won't think about it, so let me persuade you."

Zong Qixiu didn't hide the disgust on his face, and said, "Fake mercy!"

Zhang Zhizhen showed a worried look, and said, "I'm worried that he will use too much affection."

Zong Qixiu sneered and said: "You are so naive! His He family has no sincerity, but they look good-looking, and they just want to get their hands and play with them. When they really get their hands, they immediately become fish-eyed. With the lessons learned from my aunt, how could I be so happy?" Get fooled again!"

Hearing what he said, Zhang Zhizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "You can have such insight, the First Prince will be at ease."

"What did brother say!" Zong Qixiu asked anxiously.

"The time is not yet ripe, so you can't act too hastily, you need to plan it slowly." Zhang Zhizhen said slowly, "This trip has been very rewarding. The third child has already decided to come out to help the prince. The fourth child has been restless during this time and frequently The emperor has gradually become dissatisfied with summoning Minister He, and because of the boss's military power, he will bear with him, I don't know how long he can bear it, and you also know that the He family is not willing to wrong him."

Speaking of He Chao's current troops, [-]% of them are in the hands of the First Prince, and they are attacking the Western Allied Forces.The remaining [-]% are distributed in various cities and towns across the country, ready to suppress riots at any time, and [-]% guard Dayong.

Actually, Zheng Tuo, Hadan and the First Prince were respectively in charge of these [-]% in the past. When Dayong was captured, Hadan was killed and the troops were taken over by He Yaodu.Later, after the establishment of the He Dynasty, Zheng Tuo also handed over his military power on the grounds of being old.Just when the Western Allied Forces took advantage of He Chao's entry into the customs, they took the opportunity to send troops. Emperor He appointed He Yaoyue as the General of the Western Conqueror, commanding [-]% of the country's troops to resist the Western Allied Forces.The military power was concentrated in the hands of He Yaoyue.

The Western War lasted for five full years. Every year, soldiers conscripted from across the country continued to flow in. The army that used to be composed entirely of He tribe cavalry was now [-]% Han Chinese.

He Yao had been at odds with He Yaomo since he was a child, and even opposed He Yaomo's becoming the prince many times in public.Everyone in the court knew that the person supported by the eldest prince was the fourth prince, and he married the princess of the Taiji clan of the fourth prince's mother's family.

Therefore, the nobles of the He nationality believed that the emperor actually loved the fourth prince the most, and the second prince was only established because of the order of seniority and inferiority.With the support of the eldest prince, it will be a matter of time before the fourth prince replaces the second prince as the crown prince.As the first prince's military achievements are getting higher and higher day by day, this statement is also getting louder and louder. A few days ago, some ministers even advised the emperor to abolish the prince, and the emperor's attitude at that time was also quite interesting.

At this time, the third prince, who is a compatriot with the prince and his mother, is willing to come out of the mountain. For the prince's faction, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.After all, he is one of He Dichi's four adult sons. If the emperor wants to support him, it won't be long before the power of the third prince cannot be underestimated.

With the joining of the Third Prince, the tense game has just begun, and the root cause of all this is just an ordinary sixth-rank official appointment and dismissal and a small case that happened in Dawang Village.

"I'm not in a hurry. I can bear it for five years, and I can bear it for the next five years. I'm afraid that the people in the world won't be able to bear it." Zong Qixiu said sadly. The longer the delay, the more oppression the Han people will suffer. How many innocent people will die under the cruel policies of the Hittites.

"The youngest went to see the emperor after he came back, but his face was not very good, and he must have not got the desired result. Yesterday, the crown prince asked someone to call him, and when he came back, he looked preoccupied and drank all night. It wasn't until Wu Enqi came back this morning that he really made up his mind." Zhang Zhizhen told Zong Qixiu about He Yaodu's itinerary for the past few days, and he endured it silently, watching with cold eyes until He Yaodu said this himself. He decided to ask him to be his staff. His suppressed passion erupted like a volcano. Like Zong Qixiu, he waited for this day for a long time.

He will definitely assist He Yaodu well and let the balance of power tip to their side.

"That's good. I thought he could ignore the temptation of power and just be an idle prince. After all, he's just a layman. By the way, has Zhu Xianfu contacted Shang Fuxing?" Zong Qixiu thought of being in the posthouse. When we parted before, there was a letter in the package that asked Sijing to send to Zhu Xianfu. The letter said that after he arrived in Beijing, he would find a businessman named Shang Fuxing, and he would arrange everything for Zhu Xianfu.

Zhang Zhizhen shook his head disappointedly and said: "No, Zhu Xianfu burned the letter on the way, and never mentioned the matter of seeing you to anyone, not even to his fellow-year-old."

Zong Qixiu said approvingly, "Good!"

Zhang Zhizhen asked in confusion: "Why did you mention Shang Fuxing to him, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Zong Qixiu said with a smile: "I have asked Si Jing to pawn in Shang Fuxing's pawn shop several times. The people who watched must have reported this matter. In the capital, he is the only one who has any money with me. Prime Minister Pu, I have already received Prime Minister Pu's instructions, as long as I need it, I can pick up silver within 1000 taels at any time. Guess, whose instructions did Prime Minister Pu get?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhizhen said in surprise, "Why would he do this!"

"What do you think! It's just to win people's hearts. Hattich is not a kind person."

Zhang Zhizhen nodded and asked, "What about Zhu Xianfu?"

"Leave it alone, I will be working in the palace soon, maybe I have to rely on him to take care of it." Zong Qixiu mocked himself, but he promised He Yaodu to go to the palace to sort out the catalog of curiosities.

The palace is the place where he lived and grew up. He played and studied there. There used to be his favorite father and mother there, as well as his elder brother who loved him. But now?The palace has changed owners, and there is the Hedichi family who ruined his family, and he still has to serve them humiliatingly!

Zhang Zhizhen looked at Zong Qixiu with sympathy, and couldn't bear to say: "It really can't, push it!"

Zong Qixiu said firmly: "The bureau has already begun, and I am also one of them. How can I not be in place! Mr. Zhang, it is getting late, please go back, please tell the prince, Zong Qixiu can take office at any time, Please rest assured! Please also take care of your daughter's body!"
