Chapter 1877 Stop and fight 35
Xining frowned when she heard this, so she asked her body, why are you talking so much?
To put it simply: "My little girl is thinking of something. If she succeeds, she will poison her and make the Marquis die as if he could not bear the pain of losing his son. I wonder what will happen to the Zhongyong Army?"
? ? Zhongyong Hou was a little embarrassed. It seemed that he was overthinking.
Turning to think about this matter: "Disbanding is impossible. After all, someone needs to be stationed in the southern border, where Japanese pirates and bandits are constantly present. The most likely thing is to send more people."
Xining nodded: "Maybe the third prince will be framed and forced into the palace before he has time to send. An imperial edict can allow the loyal army to enter the capital to escort him. After encountering the third prince on the way, he only needs to be gently nudged, and the two armies will fight."
Zhongyong Hou Dache realized: "In this way, Zhongyong Army and the three princes will be in ruins, and among the crown princes, only Concubine Feng is still useful."
But if the Zhongyong Army is to be leaderless, Zhongyong must die first!
Marquis Zhongyong was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "What a vicious strategy!"
The truth of the whole matter has come to light, but whether the officials believe it or not, I don’t know. Xining gave a reminder: "Zheng Jiedushi and Master Zheng should also come to the capital to celebrate their birthdays, right?"
Marquis Zhongyong nodded: "What the county lord means..."
Xi Ning said leisurely: "Feng Guifei is being favored. Your Majesty may not be willing to impose a severe punishment, so he simply talks to Mr. Zheng first. Bandits have made many enemies, but there is one thing that always works: the enemy of the enemy is a friend."
Although the third prince is capable of both literary and military skills, he is only seventeen years old after all, and has not yet reached the stage to take charge of his own affairs. In the previous plot, he finally got credit for suppressing the bandits, but it is possible that he had no credit or hard work. Before he returned to the capital, he was said to be planning to rebel and force the palace.
It was okay for Concubine Zheng Shu to play palace fighting in the palace, otherwise her son and the eldest prince would not be alive until now. But the throne and intrigues still need foreign support.
Concubine Zheng Shu's father was the military governor of the north. Such a big official should be more than just an empty show. If he knew that his grandson who was very likely to become the prince was being framed, he would definitely not stand idly by.
"Master Zheng comes from a noble family. He has been immersed in the officialdom for decades and has a wide network of contacts." Marquis Zhongyong thought it was okay: "I will pay you a visit now."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The prince is still recovering from his injuries. You should go and come back early." Xining saluted. The implication is that I will come back after the visit to talk about the situation.
I was originally going to see my son, but I left before I could see him.
After hearing the news, Mu Hanqing...why did he leave right after he came? Was he here to see him or to see Zhao Fuling?
About two hours later, the sun was setting to the west, and Marquis Zhongyong came back with an empty stomach.
It had been a while since meal time, but Marquis Zhongyong hadn't had lunch yet, so Mu Hanqing put food on the table for Marquis Zhongyong to eat.
On the other side, the brothers who went with Marquis Zhongyong talked about the situation.
After hearing this, Zheng Jiedushi didn't believe it at first, and then read the confession. After thinking about it, the main reason is that Zhongyong Hou has an excellent reputation. Apart from earning military merit, he never engages in such evil ways.
What Marquis Zhongyong said is extremely credible. Then Zheng Jiedushi became furious. If this plan succeeded, not only would the third prince be unlucky, but the Zheng Mansion, the natal family of Concubine Zheng Shu, would also be unlucky. What a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone!
But now was not the time to get angry. Zheng Jiedushi held back his anger, bowed to thank him, and apologized for being implicated along with Prince Zhongyong.
Marquis Zhongyong was also a master of rough and tumble. After seeing that his goal was achieved, he said goodbye and left.
After hearing this, Xining waved his hand: "I know, let's go."
Uncle He on the side asked: "What should we do next?"
Xi Ning leaned on the soft bed and said lazily: "We must first determine what the officials think. If the officials don't want to pursue the case, no matter how much evidence they have, it will be useless. As long as they say it is false or use torture to extract a confession, we will be the unlucky ones. ." Uncle He said with a smile: "Prince, please rest assured that this matter involves the crown prince and many consolidation ministers, and the officials will not let it go."
"It's better to be careful." Xi Ning doesn't think so. There are many foolish kings in history. Even wise kings sometimes decide things based on their own preferences.
After thinking for a while: "Let's not move here yet. Even if we want to complain, it shouldn't come from my mouth."
Who is she, the head of Yongan County? Come on, after all, she is just a female bandit who got a reward for saving Mu Hanqing. If you want to say that, it is also the matter of Marquis Zhongyong.
Moreover, Zheng Jiedushi already knew that Concubine Diao wanted to harm him and make him Concubine Shu's daughter, so he would definitely take action in the near future. If there is no "expression" at all, there is no need to say anything. Concubine Zheng Shu will be finished sooner or later.
Uncle He thought so, so he pushed it down. When I returned to my room, I began to write a letter. My hands were shaking as I wrote. It was exciting. The village leader really got the idea, which was great. The military advisor and the four leaders would not be happy if they saw this letter.
Marquis Zhongyong was eating the food. He had a good appetite, and since he had figured out the matter today, he was half relieved of the big stone in his heart. In addition, the food here was good, so after finishing one bowl of rice, he added another bowl.
Seeing Marquis Zhongyong coming over just for dinner, Mu Hanqing was very unhappy: "My son has been staying here for several days, why didn't dad come to see me?"
Zhongyong Hou pointed his chopsticks at Kung Pao Chicken and responded while eating: "Aren't you asking about things outside? There are people from the Black Tiger Army here and there are officers and soldiers outside. Don't you trust me? The county master will definitely take care of you. Proper.”
Then his eyes moved around the room: "Well, it's much better than when I was a hostage. Oh, this bed is nice. It should be a reward from the Queen Mother this time."
Mu Hanqing rolled his eyes: "Is it enough to live well? I have been living in the County Lord's Mansion these days, and now I will be laughed at again."
Marquis Zhongyong pointed his chopsticks at the steamed seabass again: "Did something happen between you and the county leader?"
"Of course not." Mu Hanqing frowned.
Marquis Zhongyong stopped his chopsticks and thought for a moment: "That's going to make me laugh." After that, he continued to eat.
Mu Hanqing is so angry now. What do you mean, something must happen between your son and the female bandit?
Liang Cheng, who was waiting on the side, glanced at the angry face of his son-in-law and said silently: "This is the second time. Nothing happened the first time I was kidnapped. That's normal. But it's still the same the second time. , that’s not normal.”
The two of them lived in their own small courtyards and didn't even see each other for three days. The Lord of Yong'an County sent his maid to greet him twice, asking how he was living and what else he needed, and left after just a few words.
What a great opportunity to add some emotion. Otherwise, after getting married, will it be possible for each of us to live separately?
"Liang Cheng~" Hou Zhongyong shouted.
Liang Cheng came to his senses: "What are your orders from the Marquis?"
Marquis Zhongyong asked: "The Lord of Yong'an County has been a big help this time. Go and find out what she likes?"
Give me something as a gift if you like anything.
"What do you like?" Liang Cheng recalled, and the words came out: "It seems like... robbing."
