Song Zhiyi's words made Jian Yu uneasy. After he returned to the Red Armor Guard, he immediately checked the case files of previous years and found several older Red Armor Guards. He did find a lot of clues.

Han Zhu was also a young man who became famous. Although his family background was ordinary, he was good at both literature and martial arts. He became the leader of the Red Armor Guard at the age of twenty. He was a low-key person and didn't like to socialize with others. Therefore, when he got into trouble, no one was willing to help him. Later, it was King Wei Rong You who saved him, but he didn't see him interacting closely with King Wei afterwards, and many people forgot about this matter.

But if you look back carefully, you will find that the Red Armor Guards began to decline gradually after this incident and drifted away from the Three Guards. Perhaps some people would feel that Han Zhu was a self-destructive person, but if you look through the past case files, you will find that the Red Armor Guards did not do a bad job during this period. This explains why Han Zhu was able to sit firmly in the position of leader of the Red Armor Guards even though the Red Armor Guards were getting worse and worse.

Later, when the King of Wei failed in his rebellion, Han Zhu did not say a word for the King of Wei in the court, and even took the task of hunting down the King of Wei. At that time, I don’t know how many people secretly scolded him for being ungrateful. Because of this, after Han Zhu disappeared in Baiquan Mountain while chasing the King of Wei, no one mentioned him. After that, Emperor Yongning ascended the throne and hastily closed the case for unknown reasons, and the incident was buried in the depths of history. If Jian Yu hadn't asked, perhaps these old men wouldn't have thought of this incident.

Jian Yu kept all this in mind, but didn't continue to investigate.

At the same time, in the Qinzheng Hall of the palace, Emperor Yongning was reading the military report. After a long time, he looked at Rong Zhen who was kneeling below him and said, "Nineteenth brother, please stand up."

Rong Zhen thanked him calmly and then stood up, without any fear or dissatisfaction on his face.

Emperor Yongning was somewhat disappointed. He had left Rong Zhen alone for such a long time, and after entering the palace, he made him kneel for such a long time for no reason. If it were someone else, the flaws would have been exposed long ago, and he would naturally be able to use this opportunity to teach him a lesson, but his brother was too steady and did not give him any chance at all.

Although he thought so in his heart, Emperor Yongning did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked, "Nineteenth brother, what do you think of the war in Northern Xinjiang?"

Rong Zhen replied, "I still say the same thing. If the two countries are at war, without me, the chance of winning is 60-70%. If I am here, the chance of winning is 80-90."

Although his tone was calm, the meaning of his words was arrogant. However, this time was different from the last time. When he said this, he issued a military warrant. If Emperor Yongning was interested, he could naturally take advantage of this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Once he was defeated, Emperor Yongning could immediately take him down.

Emperor Yongning blamed him, "You have been the commander-in-chief for many years. Why are you still so impatient when you speak?" But he did not mention sending him to Northern Xinjiang.

Rong Zhen remained calm on the surface, but his heart sank.

Emperor Yongning changed the subject again: "Last time, Concubine Zhuang talked to me about Jun'er's marriage, saying that she was optimistic about the youngest son of the Duke of Ying, but how come I heard that the child is now living in your house?"

"This is my fault. I just admired his talent and let him stay for a few days."

Emperor Yongning smiled and said, "The child really suits you. When you were young, the elders would pester you to play, and you were very impatient. Now you treat the younger generation like an elder."

"I was ignorant at that time."

"I think you are very sensible, but the elders are not so sensible. They know that the emperor's uncle doesn't like them to be close to him, but they still pester him." Emperor Yongning smiled softly, but he meant something else.

Rong Zhen wisely shut up and did not respond.

Emperor Yongning laughed again and said, "Okay, I am old, and I have started to nag." He added, "Speaking of this, I remember that you are not married yet!"

"Yes, but I am used to it."

"I think you are too picky. You don't like any of the girls in Yanjing, but I don't know who will have the honor to sit on the throne of the Princess of Chu in the future."

Rong Zhen felt a little strange in his heart. He knew that Emperor Yongning would not let him go back to the Northern Frontier so easily, but he summoned him to the palace, but he just talked nonsense. This was really not the personality of his royal brother.

Emperor Yongning talked to him for a while, and then he suddenly remembered something: "I forgot, your mother's birthday will be in a few days, you must have paid homage to her in the capital before leaving."

Rong Zhen frowned slightly. His mother's birthday was not recently, but in the autumn. It was normal for Emperor Yongning to remember it wrong, but why did he suddenly bring it up?

Emperor Yongning didn't say much, and after mentioning this, he talked about other topics.

Rong Zhen let the matter go, but Emperor Yongning suddenly changed the subject: "You have worked with Liang Jue before, what do you think of him?"

Rong Zhen answered cautiously: "He is a master of martial arts and knows how to act. I dare not make any irresponsible comments on him."

Emperor Yongning smiled and said: "I think he has his own way of leading troops, and it is a bit of a waste of his talent for him to be the deputy commander of the Golden Armor Guard."

"What do you think, brother?"

"Su Dai is getting old. Letting Liang Jue go and help him can at least reduce his burden. What do you think, Nineteenth Brother?"

Rong Zhen had dealt with Liang Jue before when he was in Yangzhou. He had some understanding of this deputy commander of the Golden Armor Guard. Although Liang Jue was put under house arrest as soon as he arrived, he could see that Liang Jue was definitely not his brother's man. However, Emperor Yongning's words made him a little confused, and he did not want to say more. , and said: "I dare not discuss state affairs rashly, everything should be based on the will of my brother."

Emperor Yongning said: "The Jie people are a scabby disease, and they have not been cured for so many years. When my father was in power, he also wanted to eradicate the Jie people. If not for later... I am afraid that the Jie court would have become a thing of the past. Now I also want to fulfill my father's unfulfilled wish and eliminate this chronic disease, but I don't know if my nineteenth brother has such a great wish?"

"I will naturally follow your lead, my brother!"

Emperor Yongning looked at Rong Zhen who was saluting below, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Rong Zhen, listen to your orders."

"I'm here."

"Today, Rong Zhen is appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the Nation, given the Tiger Tally, and commanded 100,000 soldiers. In three days, he will lead the army to march to the northern border."

Rong Zhen was a little surprised, but the Secretary of the Central Secretariat had already written the imperial edict, and Emperor Yongning had stamped it. He actually did not let the eunuch issue the edict, but walked down personally, handed the imperial edict to Rong Zhen, and patted him on the shoulder: "Nineteenth brother, you have been smarter than others since you were young, and you know the importance of things. I hope you will not let me down."

Rong Zhen knelt down to receive the edict, but it was the first time he felt that the imperial edict was so heavy.

After Rong Zhen left, Xuan Yi came out from the darkness: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongning smiled: "Xuan Yi, you guessed wrong."

"Liang Jue is not the King of Chu's man?" Xuan Yi frowned, "Could it be..."

"It seems that my uncle is still alive and is fanning the flames in secret. He was a bright and glorious man in his past, but now he has been completely distorted by hatred." Emperor Yongning sneered.

"Even if Liang Jue is not the King of Chu's man, it cannot be said that the affairs of the Northern Frontier have nothing to do with the King of Chu."

"I know this younger brother. Even if he has ambitions, he will not do such a thing as selling out the country for glory." Emperor Yongning sighed, "I have watched him over the years, and I really admire him."

"But Your Majesty, don't forget..."

"You don't need to remind me." Emperor Yongning shook his hands tiredly, "It's not the time yet..."

"But if the King of Wei is still alive, if he tells the King of Chu the truth first, then..."

Emperor Yongning sneered, "If he is still alive, he will understand Rong Zhen's temper better than me, and he will not say it so easily." He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Rong Zhen didn't respond after I tried several times. I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet."

Xuan Yi said no more.

Emperor Yongning asked again, "Has the eldest son been going to Rongzhen's house every day these days?"

Xuanyi nodded.

"Alas, none of my sons are worry-free." Emperor Yongning sighed and said, "Forget it. It's better to have ambition than to be useless. Let them be."

Xuanyi hesitated and said, "I found out something else."

"What is it? Stop talking."

"Your Majesty, do you remember that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei had a fiancée?"

Emperor Yongning frowned and said after a long time, "I remember... it was a lady from the Gao family?"

"That's right." Xuan Yi said, "The young lady of the Gao family did not die, but was made a courtesan. Later, she was secretly rescued by the Marquis of Decheng and gave birth to a son."

Emperor Yongning narrowed his eyes: "Son?"

Xuan Yi nodded: "But I think this person is not similar to the Marquis of Decheng. Instead, he has some shadow of the King of Wei."

Emperor Yongning was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

Xuan Yi shook his head: "I dare not confirm it. If he hadn't secretly investigated the past affairs of the Gao family, I am afraid that I would not have noticed him, but If he is really the son of the King of Wei, with the King of Wei's temperament, how could he allow his son to be the concubine of the Marquis's mansion?" This is also the reason why Xuan Yi hesitated. With the status of the Gao family at that time, Gao Jinwen was probably not worthy of the King of Wei, but the King of Wei was infatuated with her, so he bent down to ask for her hand in marriage, which was also a good thing at that time. Later, the Gao family was implicated, and Gao Jinwen did not die, but became an official prostitute. With the pride of the King of Wei and his love for Gao Jinwen, he never stepped forward to rescue her, which made people believe that the King of Wei was really dead.

"Go and check! This matter must be checked thoroughly!" After Emperor Yongning finished speaking, he remembered something, "By the way, you said he was investigating the old affairs of the Gao family, what is his identity now?"

"His name is Jian Yu, and he is now the commander of the Red Armor Guard."
