Uncle Jinwu Zangyi

Nearly ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the day Liang Ling led his troops to flatten the Zhongmen Gate and planted the military flag of Dali on the gate of Zhongmenguan, an earth-shaking coup took place in Fujing, a hundred miles away.

"What! Prince Duan did something?!" Song Yu asked with shame, pinching a page of letter paper.

Guan Yao's complexion was a little pale, and he nodded, "He has been arrested."

Song Yu read the contents of the letter again, "Prince Duan is a smart person, how could he do such a mindless thing at this juncture?"

"I haven't mentioned this to you. The Holy One has been seriously ill for half a month recently, and it's also coincident with the birthday celebration of the Holy One. Before the birthday banquet, I don't know who revealed it to the emperor's uncle, saying that he already knew about it in Pingyong's privately raised soldier Ma Sheng. The emperor The uncle saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he planned to kill the king and seize the throne at the birthday banquet, but unexpectedly, on the day of the birthday banquet, Chu Ming counted it directly. one thing."

Guan Yao finished it in one go, and his heart was so heavy that he seemed to be in it.

"Then, isn't Chu Ming now in the middle of the court, wanting wind for wind and rain for rain?"

"Without the emperor's uncle fighting against him, he now has a pair of wings, and now that this matter happens, the Holy Majesty is likely to favor him even more."

The two sat beside each other with a lot of preoccupations, and they didn't even notice when Xiao Kan and Liang Ling came in.

"This Du Wang really makes it easy to bite back with one hand." Xiao Kan's legs are almost healed, but he has to be more careful when sitting cross-legged.

Clutching a roll of yellow silk in his hand, Liang Ling also sat down physically and mentally exhausted, "The wind and rain in the middle of the court is more challenging than leading troops to fight."

"Jingyun, what do you know?" Guan Yao asked.

Xiao Kan nodded, and said frankly with some guilt: "The three thousand soldiers and horses in Pingyong were not raised by the emperor's uncle, but the private belongings raised by Du Wang Chuming..."

"Jingyun, do you know what you're talking about?" Song Yu interrupted Xiao Kan nervously.

"Pingyong's state capital is related to the emperor's uncle. To be honest, King Du raised three thousand soldiers and horses in Pingyong. Jing Yun looked after him before." Xiao Kan paused, "Then go to Beijing, I have given it back to him."

The three of them couldn't believe it, you look at me, I look at you.

"In short, what King Du told me at the time was just to take care of him for a while, and claimed that it was a congratulatory gift for the Holy Majesty. Jing Yun didn't think of this, and I was at fault."

Guan Yao took a deep breath, "Jingyun, although this matter has something to do with you, I don't blame you if you didn't know about it, but now I can be sure that Chu Ming did this to bite the emperor's uncle. Premeditated."

"The most important thing now is what King Du will do next. He has no military power, and the Beijing Guard is in the hands of General Xiao. He is so eager to get rid of Prince Duan, he should already have a plan in mind." Liang Ling looked down. With the yellow silk in his hand, his brows were furrowed.

Guan Yao noticed Liang Ling's strangeness, and immediately asked, "A Ling, do you have anything to say?"

"Hmm." Liang Ling spread out the yellow silk in his hands, and it was an imperial decree, "There is an imperial decree that I must take down Yangguan within half a month."

"Half a month?!" The three exclaimed in unison.

--------------

"Oh, Zhou'er, don't cry, don't cry." The first nun gently coaxed the baby in her arms.

Standing aside, Chu Ming scraped the child's tender cheeks with his hands, "Little one, be quiet, and you will be able to reunite with your parents soon."

When the mother holding the child heard this, she was naturally scared, but she didn't dare to show anything.

"Take the child down." Chu Ming really didn't want to hear the child's crying, "Go and call Master Han to this king."

Han Bai has been away from the mansion for a few days, and before he even had time to drink his saliva after stepping into the palace, he was going to meet Chu Ming to discuss matters.

"Has Liang Ling received the imperial edict?" Chu Ming's originally calm expression immediately tensed up.

Han Bai nodded, "My lord, what I have seen with my own eyes is not false."

"I didn't expect my father to be more guarded against me." Chu Ming put away the fan in his hand, "I was so eager to let Liang Ling knock down Beiliu, and then come back as soon as possible to guard the capital for him..."

"Master, what are we going to do now?"

"When you went to Beiliu, apart from finding out about this matter, did you find other important news?"

Han Bai then reported the words he had already organized in his heart in an orderly manner: "My subordinates found out that General Liang and Marquis Huaiyun have a very good friendship, and the other two armies are as close as brothers."

This is probably the last news that Chu Ming wants to hear now, "Xiao Jingyun is really capable, and all the powerful people in the court have been drawn over by him."

"Master, from what my subordinates have seen, Marquis Huaiyun and General Liang have no intention of pursuing politics." The image of Liang Ling and Xiao Kan standing in the desert discussing the people's livelihood in the world immediately flashed through Han Bai's mind.

Chu Ming stood up and took two steps back and forth, "It is true that Liang Ling has no intention of pursuing politics, but this Xiao Jingyun may not be."

"Didn't the master test him last time?"

"Han Bai, you have been with this king for so many years, except for your strength in force, your ability has not changed much." Chu Ming waved the folding fan in his hand.

"This Xiao Jingyun also has the blood of the surname Chu on his body. Even if he doesn't seek power, he has a personal relationship with the king's brother on the front foot, and now he has met Liang Ling on the back foot. This group of wolves is the sum of tigers and leopards." Please, do you understand?"

"It's the subordinates who are stupid." Han Bai bowed his knees, feeling terrified in his heart.

"Get up." Chu Ming snorted, and tapped the other party's shoulder with a folding fan, "Except for these, you have been gone for many days, and you haven't found anything else?"

Han Bai shook his head lightly and weakly, and said regretfully, "I didn't find anything unusual."

"is it?"

Han Bai gritted his canine teeth secretly, "One more thing is that Marquis Huaiyun has a man with him."

"Man? Do you recognize him?"

"This subordinate has never seen this person before. It seems that he is an old friend of Huaiyunhou, and he is not a member of the court. However, his subordinates have spied that Huaiyunhou has a close relationship with this man, which is different from ordinary people. Apart from this, there is no further investigation. Found something else special."

This made Chu Ming feel interesting, "That's really worth paying attention to, this trip is hard work for you, go down and rest first."

"Yes." Han Bai hugged his fists and stood up with a sigh of relief.

Chu Ming stared at Han Bai's back as he went out, always feeling that something was wrong.

The nearly ten-day journey back and forth was a lot of trouble for Han Bai, especially after spending three days in Liang Ling's barracks with fear, it was even more exhausting for him physically and mentally.

However, tired after tired, unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised, he did not expect to meet Guan Yao there.
