The domestic guard is a little sweet

The emperor stared fixedly at Zhao Jin, who was opposite him, and for a moment felt that the face he had seen since he was a child was a little strange.

"You secretly sent people to develop firearms, and hoarded firearms in the fief to raise private soldiers. Now, do you still think I can let you go?"

Zhao Jin's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out down his back.

The emperor looked at Zhao Jin with a pale complexion and mixed feelings in his heart.

"Why, don't you deny it?"

Zhao Jin looked into the emperor's eyes, leaned on the back of the chair calmly, and looked at the distant sky leisurely.

"Whether you believe it or not, my brother has never been disobedient. You can do whatever you want to do with me."

After a moment of silence, the emperor flung his sleeves and left the room. When he reached the door, Zhao Jin suddenly made a sound.

"Brother Emperor?"

The emperor stopped in his tracks, the ferocious five-clawed golden dragon on his clothes was cold and luxurious.

"Why, want to plead for yourself?"

"Haha." Zhao Jin chuckled a few times: "I beg you, for the sake of our being a compatriot, please let those people around me go. They are just following orders and can't help themselves at all."

The emperor paused for a moment, did not agree or deny, turned and left, leaving the room full of silence. For several days, Zhao Jin was locked in the bedroom of Empress Dowager Dong. He wanted to eat and drink, but But it is obvious that the surrounding atmosphere is very tense.

The handles around Empress Dowager Dong's palace became increasingly strict, and his diet seemed to have been tampered with, and he became more and more tired every day, and fell asleep for most of the day.

Every time Zhao Jin struggled to wake up in the evening, looking at the clouds in the distance, his heart was full of longing, anger and fear, and in the end, only deep reluctance remained.

However, due to physical reasons, Zhao Jin fell asleep most of the time every day, and his eating situation became worse and worse. On this day, a little court lady in emerald clothes came to Zhao Jin with a food box and placed it with her head down. Regarding the food, he said respectfully: "My lord, today the kitchen specially made your favorite food, stir-fried bamboo shoots, you can use some."

"I don't have much appetite, you take it."

Although Zhao Jin was under house arrest in the Empress Dowager Dong's Palace and he was not allowed to go out, he was indeed free to move around in this huge palace. Although the Compassionate Ning Palace was heavily guarded, he was the only one in Zhao Jin's bedroom.

Zhao Jin refused to eat, thinking that the little maid would leave in a hurry, but after a short pause, the other party quickly came to his side and whispered softly: "My lord, the empress dowager has saved the maidservant's life, what do you want to do?" You can tell the servant girl what you want to do."

Zhao Jin widened his eyes slightly, looked at the little maid in surprise but didn't make a sound, alarming the guards outside.

Immediately, he relaxed again. In the place where he lives now, the third floor and the third floor are guarded by soldiers. How can a wall girl rescue him?

After Zhao Jin closed his eyes and pondered for a while, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to the little maid, and said softly: "Please send a letter back to the palace for me, just two words to leave quickly! There is no way to repay this jade pendant. as a reward."

The little maid took the jade pendant and quickly put it in the inner shirt. She looked at Zhao Jin and nodded firmly, fearing the guards outside, and the rest slightly raised her voice and said, "My lord, you should eat a little, otherwise how can your body take it?" ?”

Seeing the slight smile on his mouth, Zhao Jin also raised his voice a little, deliberately raised his hand and knocked over the tea bowl next to him.

"Get out!!! This king won't eat if he says he won't!"

The little maid quickly put the food into the food box, and walked out of the room with her head down.

"Brother guard, the prince refuses to eat"

The guard outside the house saw the round-faced little girl with red eye circles, knowing that she was scolded by the master inside, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity.

"They are all the masters of gold and jade. If you don't eat them, let the kitchen change them again. They will be delivered in the evening. I don't think you will be hungry. Go ahead."

The little maid blessed her body and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Thank you, brother guard."

And the little palace lady quickly returned to her room, changed into a little eunuch's costume, spent a lot of money to make connections, and then left the palace smoothly.

After the little maid came out of the palace, she walked around the city many times, and when she was sure that no one was following her, she arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion. When the old butler saw the jade pendant in this person's hand, he was shocked.

Hearing the message from the prince sent by the little maid dressed as an eunuch, my heart sank heavily.

Anshi's complexion was pale, he took the jade pendant with trembling fingers, and held it tightly in his hand, his eyes were red, he wished he could rush into the palace right now to rescue that man, and fly away together.

"My lord..."

The old housekeeper also had a heavy face at the moment, but there were outsiders at the moment, so he couldn't say much, he ordered the accountant to give the little maid 500 taels of silver and a high-quality suet white jade pendant, as a thank you but also as a seal.

Seeing An Twelve's appearance, the old housekeeper sighed.

"The lord actually brought a message. This old man is sending a letter to Donglin. You should take people away quickly."

An Twelve tightly clenched his fists, his eyes were red, he really didn't want to leave, but he thought over and over again of Zhao Jin's solemn explanation before he left.

The old housekeeper couldn't help but be serious: "Netease has an order and he must follow it. If he has follow-up arrangements, if we don't leave, it won't ruin his plan."

An Twelve's hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were red, but he didn't speak out against it. He made up his mind in his heart that if anything happened to the prince, he would kill himself and he would follow the prince by his side.

When Zhao Jin came back to Beijing this time, he was on the spur of the moment, kept a low profile, and brought not many people with him. The dark twelve plus the hidden guards in his belly quietly left the capital in several groups.

Now that Prince Rui's Mansion is in a precarious place in Beijing, naturally no one dares to be there. If they come to the door at this time, they are afraid that standing in the eyes of the emperor will arouse the emperor's disgust.

But three days later, the emperor, the emperor sent people to search for Rui Wang's mansion, but when he found that the mansion had already been emptied, he was angry and then sighed, remembering Zhao Jin's request that day, and immediately revoked the hunting order, assuming nothing happened occur.

Immediately after three days, the imperial court issued an announcement saying that Prince Rui mourned for Empress Dowager Dong. He was so sad that he accidentally knocked over the candlestick, causing a fire and died.

And King Rui is also the younger brother of the emperor's direct relative. The emperor was so distraught that he made mourning for King Rui both inside and outside the capital. Clan relatives and courtiers were not allowed to marry within a year.

All of a sudden, Beijing was full of plain clothes and plain clothes.

And when the news was spread to other places, the common people who benefited from Zhao Jin's improved two kinds of looms all wept bitterly for it, and spontaneously mourned for King Rui.

All of a sudden, inside and outside the imperial court, and in the village of Siye, all mourned the death of this virtuous king.
