Two days later, Yun Zheng and his team returned to Dingbei.
Along the way, Yun Zheng did not appear in the public eye again.
The atmosphere in Dingbei was a bit weird. Teams of stern-looking soldiers were patrolling the streets everywhere, and anyone entering or leaving Dingbei was strictly searched.
From time to time, you can see messengers riding their horses quickly through the city in a hurry.
Even ordinary people can feel the oppressive feeling of impending storm.
No one knew what had happened, but all the famous doctors in Dingbei were taken to the palace.
The next day, there were rumors in the city that King Jingbei was assassinated on his way back from Luoxia Mountain and was still in a coma.
It is said that the news came from a doctor who treated King Jingbei.
The doctor was taken away by people from the palace at noon that day, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
The doctor's experience seemed to indirectly confirm the rumors in the city.
...
...
"Do you want to inform the commanders of each department?"
"We have just ended the war with Beihuan. It would be bad if there was chaos."
Chen Luoyan leaned in Yun Zheng's arms, letting Yun Zheng caress her belly which did not yet show any signs of pregnancy.
Yun Zheng is feeling comfortable now, lying at home like a big boss all day long.
In order to make the scene more realistic, Yun Zheng was carried in when he got off the carriage, and some blood was smeared on his body.
It has been almost two days and Yun Zheng has not left his room.
In the entire palace, only a very few people can see Yun Zheng.
This play was well acted.
But Shen Luoyan was worried that if the news of Yun Zheng’s “life or death unknown” spread, there would be trouble in the army.
After all, Yun Zheng is now the backbone of the entire Northern Army.
"No need to ventilate."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I just don't know whether I am alive or dead, and the Northern Army is in chaos, then we should clean up the people in the army!"
"Yes!"
Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, "This incident is indeed an opportunity! Through this, I can not only test the generals in the army, but also screen the people in the palace. Maybe I can catch some of their accomplices..."
This is a great opportunity.
If Yun Zheng has any problem, the Beifu Army will be in chaos. After this, will Yun Zheng dare to leave Shuobei?
Among these generals in the army, there must be some who are loyal to Emperor Wen.
Before, it was because they were going to fight with Beihuan, and they all had a common goal and could unite against the same enemy.
Now, their war with Beihuan is over.
It's time to find out what those people are thinking.
With a clear mindset, you will feel at ease when hiring people in the future.
As for the people in the palace, except for those who came with them from the imperial city at the beginning, they couldn't fully verify whether the others were loyal or treacherous, or whether they were planted by others.
You can take advantage of this opportunity to investigate carefully.
It is unknown whether Yun Zheng is alive or dead. If there is a spy in the mansion, the spy will definitely find ways to find out the news.
Although this matter may cause trouble in the military, overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
No matter how chaotic the army is, as long as there is a group of people who are only loyal to Yun Zheng, it won't get too chaotic!
Once Yun Zheng "recovers", it's time to settle the score!
Different times, different circumstances!
The heart is hidden!
Although Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen still maintain a loving father-son relationship, once there is no war in Shuobei, the generals in the army may have to start making choices.
It’s also good to get a rough idea in advance.
Listening to Ye Zi's eloquent talk, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but be surprised.
Well, she admitted that she was indeed much dumber than Ye Zi.
Just as the three of them were chatting, the door was gently pushed open.
Madam Shen walked in quickly.
"Mom, what happened?"
Seeing that Mrs. Shen’s expression was not right, Shen Luoyan asked hurriedly.
Madam Shen's face was not very good, and she said in a deep voice: "The mansion has just caught a sneaky person, who was helping Zi'er deal with the government affairs of Shuobei. The interrogation results came out, and it was the emperor's man..."
Listening to Madam Shen’s words, Shen Luoyan and Ye Zi’s faces changed color at the same time.
It turned out to be one of those people?
Has His Majesty placed people among those people?
Yun Zheng is fine.
This result is not surprising.
There are people arranged by my father in the palace, but the assassins may not be arranged by my father.
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "When did that person enter the mansion?"
"It was after His Majesty left Dingbei."
Madam Shen replied: "In fact, he has always been His Majesty's man. He was just helping His Majesty keep an eye on Wei Wenzhong! The last time His Majesty came to Dingbei, he sent the imperial guards to contact him. He only told him to sneak into the palace and keep an eye on us, but didn't tell him anything else! So far, he hasn't passed any news to the imperial city..."
"That'll do."
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "It's perfectly normal for Father to arrange for someone to keep an eye on us! Given Father's personality, it would be really strange if he didn't arrange for someone to keep an eye on us."
When he was in the imperial city, he was still a despised and useless prince. Emperor Wen arranged Gao He and the butler to keep an eye on him, let alone now?
Emperors are more or less suspicious.
It's the same even for one's own son.
What's more, he is a son who holds military power.
Besides, aren’t they testing people’s hearts now?
Although the methods are different, suspicion is still involved in the end.
It would be abnormal for someone who holds great power not to be suspicious!
“That’s true.”
Ye Zi's brows relaxed slightly, with a gleam in her eyes. "It looks like we can catch a lot of fish this time!"
It's been less than two days and someone has already jumped out.
If Yun Zheng keeps it up for a few more days, there will definitely be more fish caught in the net!
"So, assassination is also a good thing."
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Alright, don't think too much! Just watch the show! We shouldn't be anxious now, but those who want to find out whether I'm dead or alive should be anxious!"
Madam Shen thought about it, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and she asked again: "What about the people of the emperor?"
"Detain him first!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "As long as he has real skills, I will still use him after this matter is over!"
"Still using it?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.
How big is his heart!
"Why not?"
Yun Zheng raised his hand and tapped Shen Luoyan's head gently, "Do you think father wants Shuobei to be in chaos?"
Shen Luoyan thought about it and shook his head slightly.
My father is a great emperor!
Shuobei is also Dagan’s territory.
Father certainly doesn't want Shuobei to fall into chaos!
"Isn't this the end?"
Yun Zheng chuckled, "No matter what, as long as we use our father's people, at least we don't have to worry about him doing anything wrong! He may not stay with us in the future, but we can give him a city to govern, and we can send someone to keep an eye on him..."
As long as the person is not causing trouble or threatening their lives, they can use it.
It’s just that the ways and methods used are different.
Even if he is my father's spy, if used well, he can be an efficient official.
Shen Luoyan thought about it carefully, and nodded with understanding...
