Xie Ming

It was Zhang Liang's plan in the palace, and I escaped by climbing over the wall.

Xiao, Qiu and Yao, the three scholars, had a conversation with each other, and each had his own plan as to how to quickly escape and return to his post outside the camp.

After waiting for Zhizhong to cherish the words and give some pointers, Xiao Jingchuan started to think carefully and figured out the conspiracy.

"At present, cities such as Zhangde, Huaiqing, and Kaifeng to the north of Henan have fallen under the control of the Jiannu people."

"The young emperor in the palace has been making such big moves recently, reducing the military, reducing the number of vassal states, and raising funds to fill the treasury."

"The reason why I feel I have so much free time is that I feel that I am free from worries in the north."

"If that's the case, if you want to break the situation, why not just fight him outside?"

"Come on, both of you, come and have a look."

"Here, Tongxu and Lanyang, I will send a secret order and order you to attack them."

"It's near Kaifeng City."

"If the army starts to move, it will definitely lead to a violent rebellion among the Jiannu."

"And we are hiding in the capital, waiting for such an opportunity."

"As long as there is a mess that affects the current peace situation in the north, the news will be reported to the palace, and the top position will be determined as soon as possible."

"If this is the case, the young emperor will be afraid of the consequences and will have to let me go outside to supervise him."

Xiao Jingchuan felt the pulse accurately and figured out the plan immediately.

Hearing this, Zhizhong and Yao Zuyin looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"General Xiao is General Xiao, good at planning, good at planning."

"This time, it's more detailed than what I had to deal with Mr. Qiu for a long time."

"My dear Qiu, what do you think?!" Yao Zuyin stroked his long beard, showing approval.

When we compare it again, he also agrees with it deeply.

"Haha, good, this plan can be accomplished."

"Well, there's no need to go into the other details. But, who do you think should take the lead, Old Xiao?!" Zhizhong took advantage of the situation and advanced.

"kindness"

"If we want to be complete, Hu Chen and Yuan Ping should come forward together." Xiao Yu was thoughtful and spoke out.

Hearing this, Zhizhong pondered for a moment, but found something else interesting.

"Well, in my opinion, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better."

"Yuan Ping is your sworn brother, and he is less involved in the military, so it is enough for him to go."

"Brother Huchen, it's better not to get involved in this." Zhizhong Mou said.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan looked up in surprise.

He was calculating and calculative in his mind, and he might have made such a move, but he also intended to control the situation.

If the two armies were to engage in combat, the military strategy would certainly be more secure. They could attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and there would be no need to worry.

However, the more this happens, the more likely it is that if the people below are eager to take credit, the situation will escalate and they will suffer as a result.

Besides, in matters like this, Yuan Ping is a person who can be trusted more.

After all, as brothers with the same idea, Yuan Ping had no choice but to retreat, and his thoughts might be purer.

So, no matter how you discuss it, in short, the matter is well planned and can be concluded.

Later, by the Songqian Creek, some more fruit snacks were placed on the table of the three gentlemen.

It was Master Hongren, Yao Zuyin, who ordered the young monk to come here.

The original yellow rice flour date cakes and steamed fruit pies were taken away.

They are replaced with rock sugar frosted plums, milk dumplings cooked with butter and sugar, as well as some rock sugar diced oranges, stuffed cold cakes, phoenix-flavored honey cakes and other small chewy fruits.

Xiao Lang suddenly became interested in the new tea and fruit dishes and tried a few bites of each.

If you are tired of drinking tea, you can change to drinking milk mixed with water, which has a different flavor.

"Haha, Master, I've never tasted these snacks before. They are so delicious."

Xiao Lang drank a bowl of porridge early in the morning and didn't eat anything else.

After vomiting so much last night, my stomach was empty, and snacks tasted more delicious, so I ate several large pieces in a row.

It seems that Xiao has a happy mouth, and Yao Zuyin also serves people specially.

"Hahaha, it's just some Jiangnan snacks."

"There is only one thing. Before I was ordained as a young monk, I had some cooking skills passed down from my ancestors."

"The taste of the food here is different from other places."

"Xiao Xiaoyou likes it. I'll ask someone to bring some to your house later."

"If you are tired of eating, you can leave some for rewarding others." Yao Zuyin was also good at dealing with small things. He seemed to say these words casually, which made Xiao bow his head repeatedly.

The three men laughed and ate, then took a break.

After he had finished eating and got over his boredom, Zhizhong went to the side and then he started to discuss other matters.

"Haha, okay, okay."

"Old Xiao, stop making a fuss."

"Here, besides the main issue of reducing the power of the feudal lords, I have some news from other places."

"Since it happened this time and it's already early, I might as well tell you all at once so that you can hear it all."

To restore Zhongduan's interest, we will talk about it later.

"Oh?"

"What else is there? Feiyu, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Xiao Jingchuan was still chewing the fruit filling in his mouth and agreed casually.

"Well, let me tell you what's most important."

"There is some progress in the matter of the Third Prince Zhu Cijiong."

"The date for returning to the court has been set, and the matter has been finalized."

"If we estimate by the day, it might be soon."

"Some time ago, due to the unclear situation in the southwest of the capital, it was difficult to return to the south due to the occupied areas."

"The original date was that the little emperor would take him back at the end of August, but it has been delayed until this month."

"Now, the situation is much clearer than before."

"It is thanks to the peace talks in the north that some results have been achieved."

"Anyway, the control in the southwest of Kiyomizu is much looser."

"That person in the palace is in a hurry."

"I can't put another name in the way to prevent him from getting suspicious."

"So, it's actually mid-to-late September. I've already sent people to explore the route."

"Well, when this boy returns, there may be more unpredictable changes in the future."

Zhizhong told the story slowly and the more he spoke, the more confused he looked.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan came to persuade him with kind words, and smiled bitterly, pretending not to take it seriously.

"Hi!"

"I think it's just a baby of twelve or thirteen."

"Since he's here, there's no need to pay too much attention to him." Xiao Biao expressed his opinion.

However, Yao Zuyin on the other side frowned slightly and tried to argue.

"Uh, haha."

"No, no."

"My dear Xiao, don't you think that His Majesty is weak and has a chronic disease?"

"According to my judgment, I am afraid that your time is running out."

"Now, the reason why the emperor in his palace intends to take back his younger brother is, you think about it."

"I'm afraid he has his own considerations as well."

"The idea is to keep a backup candidate for the Ming Dynasty, so that there will be no one to succeed it and the great dynasty will be difficult to continue!"

Yao Zuyin stirred up the interests involved and spoke out.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and proposed a way to deal with it.

"Well, that's what you said."

"Since there are future troubles, let's take the initiative. Do you think this is feasible?"

"While the third little prince has not yet returned to the capital to enter the palace, we will..."

After he finished speaking, he paused in silence, raised his palm and turned it into a knife, and then he attacked with a secret chopping motion.

"No!"

Seeing and looking at it, there are negative words in neutrality.

"This person is of great importance. If he is killed in the middle of the journey, it will definitely alert the enemy!"

"By then, I will be unable to escape responsibility, and I am afraid that you, Old Xiao, will no longer be trusted by the palace!"
