Chapter 530 There must be something behind this!!
Holding a secret letter, Zuo Wei quickly walked past everyone in the mansion and headed straight towards the study.
When he reached the door, he was stopped by the guards standing at the door.
Zuo Wei understood: "Who is in there?"
The guard nodded.
"Nonsense!" Zuo Wei immediately frowned, but he lowered his voice subconsciously, "This... this is a secret letter sent from there!"
The guard lowered his eyes and glanced at the secret letter in Zuo Wei's hand. He felt conflicted, but his eyes quickly turned away: "The prince said that no one should disturb him before he comes out."
Zuo Wei: "How about this, I trip you, and you fall down, accidentally hit the door, and then accidentally scream——"
Before he could finish his threatening words, the guard said with a blank face: "Rejected."
Zuo Wei stamped his feet fiercely: "I really have something urgent to do!"
"refuse."
Zuo Wei: “…”
Stick to the old ways! Stubborn!
The guard looked away indifferently.
Zuo Wei gritted his teeth and was about to risk his life to rush forward, but the tightly closed wooden door slowly opened in front of the few people with a crisp "creak".
Jiang Silin's eyes, as cold as frost, swept across Zuo Wei's face coldly. Without even asking him the purpose of his visit, he directly ordered: "Get ready. I have to go to Beiming."
Zuo Wei: “???!”
His angry eyes immediately fell on the woman who was following closely behind Prince Xin.
Why is it you again?!
Why is it that every time you appear, my prince seems to be a different person, frequently changing his already made decisions? !
The sound of teeth grinding unconsciously escaped from between his lips. Jiang Silin glanced at Zuo Wei, and without further explanation, he walked out.
Zuo Wei was startled, and hurriedly trotted after him, saying in an urgent voice: "Prince! Prince, you can't just abandon me at this time, Prince!"
"An urgent letter came from Ke Ming, saying that things have indeed turned out as Your Majesty expected. The army is now stationed in Zhuoping County, waiting for you to take it!"
Jiang Silin paused for a moment and said in an irritable tone, "Give it to me."
Zuo Wei hurriedly handed over the letter. Noticing a dark frown on his master's brow, he guessed that he might not have given up his plan to go to Beiming. After thinking for a while, he decided to add fuel to the tense atmosphere.
——The anxiety was his own fault, and he was almost anxious to death.
"Your Majesty," Zuo Wei probed, "the messenger also said that it's not just the Jingchuan County Magistrate who has defected. When he sent people to investigate the route he was originally planning to take, he found that many people had very suspicious attitudes."
This is not alarmist. After the rumor leaked, they had anticipated that some officials who were not closely related to them would turn against them at this time. However, they did not expect that the backup route they had formulated just in case would really come in handy one day.
Jiang Silin read the letter quickly and sighed with a troubled look on his face.
Zuo Wei quickly suggested in a low voice: "What are you going to do in Beiming, Your Majesty? Can you let your subordinates do it for you?!"
Jiang Silin turned his head, his eyes complicated and empty, as if he was looking at Zuo Wei, and also as if he was looking at Qiu Suxin behind Zuo Wei.
After a while, the voice was low: "This king needs to... find someone in Beiming Capital..."
Zuo Wei: "Looking for someone?"
"Um."
"A child."
…
「Ahahahahahaha——」
[Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——]
The ministers in the study tried their best to suppress the anxious expressions on their faces, and they also had to talk to Emperor Mingze from time to time to make their behavior here not so strange and abrupt.
only--
You guys have been laughing for too long, haven't you?!
From the moment he said "Prince Xin's army has reached Zhuoping County", the young man seemed to have just realized what he had just said. He suddenly lowered his head and began to flip through the documents attentively.
Soon after, a series of laughter filled the entire study.
His laughter made the ministers' ears buzz, and they were extremely anxious in their hearts.
What funny news did you see?!
Talk to them too!!
——Zhuoping County is a bit remote and is not the best route from Prince Xin’s fiefdom to the capital. If Prince Xin wants to take advantage of the time when His Majesty is “missing” to accomplish something big, he should not choose to travel here.
There must be something behind this!!
It was as if millions of ants were crawling through everyone's hearts, and after a long while they finally heard the second half of the young man's sentence:
[Hahahahaha, the rumor that father came up with actually worked hahahaha——]
[After hearing the rumor that the county magistrate was plotting against Prince Jing, who was cooperating with him, he was so scared that he dared not reply to the message from Prince Xin privately. The people on Prince Xin's side found out about it, and he would rather take a detour than pass through Jingchuan County. Hahahaha! ]
[Not only did they not dare to travel through Jingchuan County, but the cities that followed were also afraid to take action. They dispersed their troops and stationed them in Zhuoping County, waiting for the new order from Prince Xin...]
Jiang Yingcheng asked a soul-searching question: [Do these people really want to rebel?!]
Looks like his brain isn't working very well.
The ministers were silent.
I never thought that the truth would be like this.
It was actually just because of a rumor?
Then what about their previous speculation that the Xin Wang army had to change its route because of some major event? !
Is this a waste of time for them? !
However...
Regarding the news mentioned by the young man, they actually have a lot of room for action!
Judging from the clues that they are hiding in Zhuoping County, they can send people to intercept and replace them first. After this team merges with the rest of the Xinwang army, they can cooperate with the inside and outside to take over most of the troops in one fell swoop! !
As for the soldiers, most of them work for a few coins to support their families. They don't have a strong sense of belonging and can be easily mobilized!
[Oh my, Prince Xin still wants to go to Beiming in person at this time?! ]
The ministers stretched their necks silently again.
What to do in Beiming?
Go and see if His Majesty is really missing?
[Huh?! ]
【Qiu Suxin appears?! 】
Ministers: “???”
Who is that?
What did they miss?!
[Wow! Prince Xin knows that he has a child stranded in Beiming?! ]
Ministers: "!!!"
What what?!
They have a child?!
Naihuhu's inner voice was angry: [Hey! Let him go! You let him go! ! ]
That guy called Zuo Wei, why did you persuade him to stay? !
Only when he goes there will he know what despair is! !
Jiang Yingcheng unconsciously pulled out an oil-paper bag from the secret pocket of his sleeve, took out a small snack from it, and took a bite: [The brother who presided over the ceremony has been brought back by Chengcheng. Even if he searches all over Beiming, he won't be able to find his son~]
