Chapter 697: Tong Guan enters Beijing

Zhao Zong was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Ji, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother, don't even say anything about his mother?"

Zhao Ji said lightly: "The palms and backs of hands are all flesh. Although I hate the Zheng family and I don't want to save them, no matter what, it's a royal relative after all..."

Zhao Zong interrupted him and said, "What are the words of the emperor brother? Can the royal relatives instruct people to climb over the wall? Can they assassinate the family of the King of Pingxi?"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel silent. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I just think the purpose of the Zheng family is not so simple. If they really did it, what benefits can they get from doing this?" Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Actually, it's not certain whether the Zheng family did this. I'm not saying that I won't punish the instructor. What they want to assassinate is my beloved daughter. Can I sit back and wait? I just said that I'll have a clear idea in my heart in advance."

Zhao Zong is not a fool. Don’t look at other things, it’s different when it comes to him. Zhao Ji asked him to hide it from his mother and queen first, and the queen would pursue it. Wouldn’t he take the blame? It’s so outrageous, it’s just a cheating brother.

Zhao Zong said seriously: "Your Majesty asked me to investigate the case, and I worked hard. This is a public service, but the emperor asked me to show my personal favor. I must not. I ask the emperor to take back my orders. At worst, the emperor will be entrusted with others."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile and said bitterly: "I'm just a joke. King Jin doesn't have to worry. Haha, you and my brother haven't spoken privately for a long time. Why did you finally have this opportunity but quarrel about this? King Jin, I just saw you decide the case, um..." Zhao Ji paused for a moment and said against his will: "It's very good, sharp in words, and dignified in attitude. This is what my good brother looks like. I have many things to do in the future. I will put a burden on your shoulders. Brothers are united, so the world can be peaceful, right?"

After a lot of comfort, the angry Zhao Zong's face calmed down. Zhao Zong said: "But then again, I really feel that I have a bit of a mighty attitude..."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Zhao Zong continued: "But the emperor does not have to give me too much work. I am an idle person and only want to be a wise king and stand up when the building is about to collapse. The emperor's emperor is now in power and sings and dances to peace, and there is no use for me."

Zhao Ji's hands were trembling slightly. If he hadn't known that the King of Jin was a confused person, he would have been suspicious that Zhao Zong had a strange intention in his heart, and he could say such things as the building was about to collapse. Besides, even if the building was about to collapse, he would still be able to stand up and clean up the situation?

Zhao Ji squeezed out a little smile, showed a little regret, and said, "This is how I can have this intention, I won't force you. No matter what, I will leave this assassination of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion to you. You must use your life to let the people of the world see what my brothers are doing." He added, "What I said to you today is a private word between our brothers. Just pretend that I have never said anything, you won't mention it to others, right?"

Zhao Zong thought about it very seriously and said, "Isn't even my brother's beloved concubine?"

Zhao Ji's face twitched and he said seriously: "What do you think?"

Zhao Zong said guiltily: "What if my brother is talking in a sleep and his beloved concubine hears it?"

Zhao Ji knew that he could not talk to him anymore, so he grew up and said, "It's not too late, I'm going to return to the palace, you can think about it yourself."

Zhao Zong said diligently: "I am sending you to the emperor."

Zhao Ji waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, you sit, don't move." After that, he hurriedly walked away.

The city of Bianjing was shrouded in an inexplicable atmosphere. At the forefront of this storm, it seemed that everyone was accumulating strength. The doors of each family's mansion were closed and no longer moved around easily. It seemed to be avoiding suspicion, but there were opportunists and stakeholders. Many people held their breath and wrote the memorials, and they were still swaying in the study. Even when they met their colleagues in the ministry, they never mentioned the matter of imperial trial. However, sometimes, some people met each other and looked at each other, as if they were talking a lot of words.

This atmosphere has led to a lot of speculation, and there are not so many concerns among the public and Qing Notice. As outsiders and bystanders, they all know that everything must be under the imperial examination, and these silent people will definitely be shocked and shocked.

When Tong Guan entered Beijing, everything became even more bizarre.

Tong Guan entered the capital early in the morning the day before yesterday. Dozens of Kongwu guards from three sides surrounded Tong Guan and rode their horses to the city gate. Then, Tong Guan went directly to the palace to face the holy.

Before entering Beijing, Tong Guan of course wrote a letter to ask for instructions. If the border general was going back to Beijing, there should be at least a reason. Tong Guan's reason was to escort the nearest food and pay and report it to the Ministry of War. In fact, this kind of thing was just to send an official to the post. However, there was no reason why Tong Guan was not allowed to criticize him in the palace. When Zhao Ji saw Tong Guan's memorial, he also thought of the benefits of Tong Guan in normal times, so he made a promise.

Who knew that Tong Guan came so quickly. He submitted a memorial a month ago and is here now. Seeing his dusty appearance, he probably rushed to the road overnight and did not dare to delay a single moment.

Tong Guan entered the palace and said something to Zhao Ji before coming out of the palace. Although he was an eunuch, he was also a court official, so he had already built a house outside the city.

Tong Guan hasn't come back for a long time, but he has made the family in this house very busy. He has set up lights and decorations, cleaned up his bedroom and prepared a banquet, so busy that he is not touching the ground.

Tong Guan returned to the Bianjing home, said nothing, but asked the main person in the house, "What's wrong with Tong Hu?"

The head of the official said: "I am now in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. I heard the news that I would wait for Your Majesty to deal with it. Your Majesty is also undecided now. This matter can be big or small. To put it into the big picture, even if it is accused of tigers and to put it into the small picture, it is just a blind man."

Tong Guan said coldly: "The family knows, have you asked someone to send food?"

The head of the official said: "I've sent it, I've been sending it twice a day, so I dare not delay it. The villain is outside day and night to find out the news, but there are all things that are said outside. It's good that the master will come back. The master works hard in the border town and has made great contributions. For the sake of the master's face, the master can give up his slightest resignation no matter what."

Tong Guan smiled and said, "How is it so easy? It's really so easy. Does the chaotic family still have to rush back to Bianjing from Xihe? Come, I have some famous sects here, you can send them out immediately. This chaotic family will hold a banquet tonight. You can send them out according to the names of the chaotic people, so don't delay it."

The head of the head received a thick stack of famous priests. Some wrote about officials paying homage to Duke Jing, while others wrote about Tong Daofu respecting the upper hand, and the head of the head was like Laizhou Marquis. There were at least one hundred people. The head of the head could not help but say: "So many guests are all extremely noble guests. Do villains need to make people prepare in advance?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "You go and do your business, and you don't have to worry about the banquet."

After saying that, Tong Guan went to take a shower, washed away the dust on his body, and his whole body relaxed. He was wearing a new purple gold robe, a Jinxian crown on his head, and was dressed in a fresh manner. In addition, he looked very burly and had a flowing beard under his jaw. If it weren't for the slightly black face, he would have a few Guan Yun's long style.

After taking a shower, Tong Guan no one saw him, just pretending to read books in the study. How could a person like Tong Guan read any books? It was just that he had something to do with his own interests and had some effect. When Zi’s literary talent is outstanding today, Tong Guan is also a versatile person, and he always had to keep some ink in his belly.

The guest didn't come so soon, but a border army general rushed in, and as soon as he entered the study, he saluted: "Godfather, the news has been found out."

Tong Guan raised his eyes, put down the book, and said lightly: "Speak slowly."

The man nodded and said, "His Highness of Pingxi King has indeed fought back. The Prince of Pingxi was assassinated. Now he has caught the living and has caught dozens of assassins. Now he is sent to the King of Jin for interrogation. He is probably going to bite the Zheng family."

Tong Guanheshou smiled and said, "The King of Pingxi is far-sighted, and this is exactly the key to the Zheng family and reverses the disadvantages. This move is very clever. But are the people of the Zheng family fools? Why should Shen Ao be fooled at this critical moment and send assassins?"

"Godfather, where can I find out the inside story? No matter what, some people have identified these assassins as Zheng's family. The case is still under trial. What's going on will probably be revealed in just one or two days."

Tong Guan pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so he had to say, "You keep talking."

"There is another thing. Your Majesty visited King Pingxi. He was in Dali Temple and went in plain clothes. Many people from Dali Temple were present at that time. All the people who accompanied him were driven out, leaving only Your Majesty and King Pingxi talking."

After hearing the news, Tong Guan couldn't help laughing again and said, "This is the holy family. His Majesty will still protect it. So, the chances of Pingxi King's victory increased by 20%. What should the Empress Dowager say?"

"The Empress Dowager hasn't said anything recently, but Concubine Zheng did not do anything. However, King Jin was very close to King Pingxi. On the day he was assassinated, King Jin hurried to stand up for King Pingxi!"

Tong Guanhe nodded and said, "The King of Jin and the Queen Mother are one. The attitude of King of Jin is the attitude of the Queen Mother. In this way, King Pingxi had a tacit understanding with the Queen Mother long ago..." He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and his fingers hit the desk in front of him, and slowly said, "Especially, Concubine Zheng is too strange. Although his father died, he dared not say anything. His Majesty is weak and Concubine Zheng cannot remain indifferent unless..." He suddenly realized and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother is supporting King Pingxi."

"Godfather, so, King Pingxi has at least 80% chance of winning?"

Tong Guan shook his head again and said, "This may not be necessary. Many things are indefinite. King Pingxi has always been indifferent to his work. Otherwise, what would he call the chaotic family to do this time?"

The man couldn't help but wonder: "Dad my godfather came to Bianjing this time after listening to the instructions of King Pingxi?"

Tong Guan said seriously: "This is natural. Do you come as a miscellaneous person just by saying that?"

"But...but..."

Tong Guan smiled faintly and said, "But you haven't seen the letters sent by King Pingxi, right? Alas, although King Pingxi did not send a letter, he fooled Hu'er into the Ministry of Justice. Doesn't the family understand this? King Pingxi called the family to come to Bianjing to strengthen his momentum. The family came today to increase the chances of winning for King Pingxi. This is also a way to drive the ducks to the shelves. The old bones of the family should move."
