The Eight Winds of Rebirth

In Chengfeng Palace, He Xilai reported that Master Qu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

Zhao Mian frowned, feeling disturbed by others, but still said: "Let him in."

As soon as Qu Guang entered the room, he saw Zhao Mian who was rarely painting at his desk, and he couldn't help saying: "The prince is very elegant."

Zhao Mian was obviously in a good mood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after he wrote two strokes on the rice paper, he was asked to stand up the painting, and took two steps back to admire it carefully.

Naturally, Qu Guang did not give up on this opportunity to meet him. He looked at the beauty painted on the painting, with a slender face, a slender eyebrow, and a graceful eyebrow. Although he lacked a lot of charm, he could guess who it was with his eyesight. The eldest lady praised her beauty and temperament, and said that Zhenzhen and the prince are a perfect match, which made Zhao Mian's tail stick up to the sky.

"It's a pity that Miss Mei is not feeling well, and she hasn't gone out for many days," Zhao Mian said, thinking of the culprit who made Mei Jianxi look like this, he couldn't help but glared at Qu Guang.

Qu Guang thought to himself that he was looking for trouble, but he also despised Zhao Mian in his heart. It took so much trouble to avenge and resolve his hatred, but in the end?Mei Jianxi didn't even send a thank you. In her heart, the difference between the crown prince and the Yuguo general far away was more than 01:30, but Qu Guang still kept his expression on his face, and only made A distressed expression came.

"Let's talk about something." Zhao Mian asked someone to take his painting to be framed, and picked up the tribute tea on the table for a while before asking casually.

Qu Guang was well aware of his temper, so he was not in a hurry, he still said with a smile: "How does the crown prince think about today's court affairs?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Mian couldn't help but sneered: "How else can I see it? Didn't you hear the meaning of the father? He said that someone should heal Hou Bingchen's injury, but you know that this guy is useless. It's just a waste of medicinal materials to do useless work, and the reincarnation of the god of war, the god of war, is just a fart from now on."

Regarding the matter of Hou Bingchen's injury, Emperor Zongzheng still felt very complicated. Although he was also afraid of the general's great achievements, but when he was wrestling with the three kings, the Shenwu Army could be said to be his big backing, and Hou Bingchen fell. For the current Emperor Zongzheng, it was like breaking an arm, so Emperor Zongzheng was furious because of this, and together with the matter of Lingfo, he vowed that Zhang Fan and Xue Yiyang would catch the murderer and cut him to death!

But for him, there is still one thing that is barely worth consoling, that is, Hu Tiandong, the first good general of the three kings, was also assassinated at the same time. Of course, this was reported by the three kings Zhao Dian himself, anyway. The Ministry of Punishment went there but only got a scorched black corpse that was completely indistinguishable, and it was still found in a brothel.

The three kings cried and said that it was General Hu who had not returned to the mansion for a long time after being summoned by the emperor that day, and was found dead in Huajufang inexplicably later. All kinds of grievances and resentments were spoken between them, and they even vaguely alluded to Emperor Zongzheng's involvement in this matter. He must have known about it, or he was in collusion with the thief at all. If it wasn't for that will, Hu Tiandong wouldn't have died like this.

Emperor Zongzheng retaliated with unhappiness in his heart, saying that the closure of the government of Yuguo had revealed the loopholes in Beijing's defense, and now that things happen again and again, even if the thief is hateful, but if my Daye is really solid, why not Come to give these snakes and rats an opportunity. After all, although foreign enemies are cautious, internal troubles are the most terrifying.

He also threw these words to the three kings, accusing Sang and scolding Huai of you as nothing but evil results.

There was a commotion in the court, but here Zhao Mian, he has never thought as broadly as Emperor Zongzheng. He only knows that Hou Bingchen can no longer lead soldiers, and the Shenwu Army Camp has survived in name only since then, and Hu Tiandong went to see him directly. Hades, without the support of these two great generals, Cao Qin is thousands of miles away. See how Zhao Yuan, Zhao Ze, and that villainous Zhao Jie will go crazy in the future!

Seeing the look on Zhao Mian's face, Qu Guang knew what he was thinking. According to Qu Guang's thinking, it would be better for Zhao Mian to be a little stupid. If he was too clever, how could he be a courtier?However, after cursing inwardly that it was useless, he continued to lean over and explain his intentions.

"Prince, the court lost two generals within a day, so many soldiers have to be rearranged, do you know what the emperor will think?"

"How do you think about it? Then promote a new general."

Not too stupid, Qu Guang nodded: "But... there are not many people available in the court."

Zhao Mian pondered for a moment, and said for a moment: "If you use it, you will know if it is usable or not."

Isn't the battlefield a child's play, if it is not available, what about so many soldiers, what about the border guards, what about the land of Daye?Qu Guang sighed, and said along with him: "That's true, but there must be someone, and the choice is a problem."

This time, Zhao Mian stopped asking: "Father always knows something in his heart..."

"The emperor is naturally confident, but if the prince speaks out what the emperor thinks for the emperor first, the emperor will be pleased that the prince is smart."

Zhao Mian's heart skipped a beat, if he could really guess what his father was thinking, his father would be happy and would praise him for his intelligence.

but……

"How can the emperor's holy will be easily guessed?" Zhao Mian made a solemn face.

Qu Guang knew that he couldn't guess it. Of course, if Zhao Mian could guess it, he wouldn't be here.

"Naturally, the ministers must not know, but the prince is different. The prince and the emperor and his son have a deep affection and a tacit understanding."

Zhao Mian refused to accept his flattery: "But what if I guessed wrong?"

"Wrong or not, the emperor has the final say. If you say something disrespectful, even if there is a deviation, the emperor will not blame you. You are the crown prince, and everything the emperor is doing now is just for you. So many people in the court Man, besides what the emperor arranged, you should also make plans for yourself..."

"You mean..." Zhao Mian was a little surprised that Qu Guang actually asked him to put his own people into the barracks?

Zhao Mian thought for a while: "Is there anyone around me who can be a great leader?"

Qu Guang's eyes turned around in the inner room, and finally landed on Chen Cai who was not far away. After a while, he turned away and said, "That depends on the prince's thoughts. Who do you believe, who do you think the emperor will believe? Then It's who..."

……

After leaving Chengfeng Palace, Qu Guang left the imperial city, walking on Changping Street in a sedan chair, he was still thinking about what happened just now.

Chen Cai is trustworthy, and because Tian Liang was on errand with him before, Qu Guang knew him well. Zhao Mian couldn't guess what Emperor Zongzheng was thinking, but Qu Guang could always guess most of it. He knew Zongzheng. The emperor has always intended to train this servant, that's why he let Chen Cai follow the crown prince, but the crown prince is too unsatisfactory and doesn't know how to take advantage of this help. This time, he will not only give the crown prince a favor, but also do the emperor a favor. If the crown prince really goes As a sponsor, Chen Cai will definitely be grateful to him, and will be even more loyal in the future.

While thinking about it, Qu Guang lamented that he really broke his heart for this yongjun. If Huajufang hadn’t been burned down, and Xiaoyao Gambling Square would not be able to go, he really wanted to find a place to relieve his fatigue. Forget it. There is a lot of gossip outside, and it is safe to go back home.

Just as he lifted the curtain and looked out, he saw a familiar figure passing through the end of the street, but after a while, he entered a small shop and disappeared.

Qu Guang was stunned, and hurriedly pulled the servant to ask.

"Did you see that man in green brocade just now?"

The servant was also clever, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "I see, it's Mr. Xiangguo."

Is it really Zhong Xuliang?

"What does that shop do?"

The boy said, "It's Wang Ji's shop, which sells incense candles."

A candle shop?What did Zhong Xuliang do there?

……

Qu Guang just left here, the more Zhao Mian thought about it, the more he felt that what he said was right, so he took Chen Cai and went to Ziwei Palace, but he saw two small green sedan chairs approaching halfway.

Zhao Mian recognized the two servants following outside, snorted and let people get off the sedan chair.

The prince was in front, why should he come to say hello and see a gift, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out, Zhao Mian became angry, and directly lifted the curtain and stepped out.

"Who is this? Why don't you look at the road and stand in front?" Zhao Mian walked up to him and said loudly.

After a while, a person finally came down from one of the sedan chairs, and it was Zhao Ze.

Seeing that Zhao Mian was quite polite, Zhao Ze bowed his hands to him respectfully and called "Your Highness".

Zhao Mian looked at the other sedan chair, "Aren't you the only one here?" Is the other one dead?

Zhao Ze said: "It's my sixth brother, but he is not feeling well today, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. Your Highness, please forgive me."

"Inconvenient? It's fine if you broke your leg. Did you even break your brain? If you're not feeling well, you still have the strength to run to the palace, so you won't be able to die for a while."

He said this so bluntly that Zhao Ze's expression changed immediately.

Zhao Mian didn't care, he used to be scruples about Hou Bingchen's intentions, and he endured everything. Now that Hou Bingchen has this field, what can these two people use to make themselves arrogant. He has waited for a long time for this bad breath to come out. .

"We are here to visit Lingfo. If His Royal Highness wants to blame me, I will accompany you on behalf of Sixth Brother." Zhao Ze has learned a lot of truths from the training under the two lieutenants in recent days. , In addition to the accident of the third brother, he could see the atmosphere in the Shenwu barracks every day, and now facing Zhao Mian's rampant, Zhao Ze actually forcibly endured this tone.

But Zhao Mian gave him a sneer in return for his concession: "Aren't you going to accompany me? I don't dare to be, but if you really want to make amends, I will give you a chance, kowtow to me and go."

Zhao Mian is the king, Zhao is the minister, this head is not completely unworthy, but Zhao Mian usually looks like half a prince, coupled with his current disdainful attitude, if Zhao Zezhen kneels, I am afraid it will be the face of General Shenwu It's all going to be thrown away by him.

Therefore, Zhao will not kneel.

He didn't kneel, Zhao Mian naturally went on: "It seems that there is no rule at all in this palace, everyone regards themselves as the masters here, General Shenwu usually doesn't know how to teach you, oh, yes, I think Get up, he should spend all his time on that singer, he would be willing to break his hand for her."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ze couldn't hold back at last, but before he could step forward, the car curtain on the other side was lifted suddenly, and Zhao Yuan walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ze hurriedly turned around to help him, but Zhao Yuan shook her head, signaling that it was okay.

He was already soaked in ink on his temples, and his skin was as white as snow, but at this moment his face seemed to be transparent, even his thin lips were only slightly red, and he was about to fall down when the wind blew, but his eyes were still bright. He was cold and severe, but he only took one look at Zhao Mian, and he was immediately frozen in place.

At this moment, Chen Cai approached carefully and said to Zhao Mian: "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is indeed not feeling well."

It would be fine if he didn't say this sentence, but Zhao Mian jumped even more when he said it.

Even a dog servant around him is helping an outsider, and he still wants to sponsor him for promotion. Didn't he raise a white-eyed wolf?

"Everyone is not feeling well, so you don't have to abide by the etiquette in this world. Tell me when they met me and there was a rule? Huh?"

Zhao Mian blushed, raised his hand suddenly and said, "Go, let them all kneel down!"

Chen Cai was startled, looked at Zhao Ze who was full of anger, and then at Zhao Yuan who was expressionless, without moving.

Zhao Mian got angry: "Okay, okay, all of these are going to be reversed, it seems that you have forgotten Tian Liang's fate... If you don't go, I will go by myself!"

After all, he even pulled the saber around Chen Cai's waist with his backhand and rushed towards Zhao Yuan and Zhao Ze.
