I have to say that Zhao Yuanli’s guess was not bad at all.

The next day, the 20th of the first lunar month, he received secret information saying that the Zongfu had released King Su Hongrun.

After learning about this, Zhao Yuanli immediately told Princess Yulong the good news. After all, the latter had been staying in his Prince Yi's Mansion for the past two days and had not thought about food or food all day long. She was very worried about Zhao Hongrun, which made Zhao Yuanli feel quite distressed.

"Uncle Six, then I will go back to Prince Su's Mansion first."

After learning the good news, Princess Yulong changed her sad look from the previous two days and took Mi Rui back to Prince Su's Mansion with a smile on her face.

"This girl... is closer to that boy Hongrun after all."

He personally sent Princess Yulong outside the mansion, and watched her and Mi Rui gradually drive away in a carriage. Zhao Yuanli shook his head and returned to the mansion.

He returned to his study and wiped the hunting equipment he would use the next day.

In fact, you only need to instruct your subordinates to do these things, but for Zhao Yuanli, this is a kind of fun, just like hunting, fishing, and betting on horses are all a kind of fun.

Just as Zhao Yuanli was wiping his hunting gear, the servant who brought tea came again. While pouring him a cup of tea, he told him in a low voice: After King Su left the Zongfu, he did not immediately return to Prince Su's Mansion, but followed him.

Chengling King Zhao Wenshen came to the palace that the latter temporarily purchased in Daliang.

"Hongrun... went to see King Chengling? Why did he go to see King Chengling?"

Zhao Yuanli frowned, then picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "Keep staring."

The servant paused, and then whispered: "My lord, there are at least two groups of people watching the whereabouts of King Su... Do you still want to follow?"

"The chamberlain and the clan?" Zhao Yuanli was stunned.

"I don't know...but there is a group of people. I have tried it out. I heard that their accent is a bit like the local accent in Daliang, but it is not exactly the same. It sounds a bit awkward..."

"..."

Zhao Yuanli was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

You must know that whether it is the spies from the inner chamber supervisor or the spies from the Zongfu, they were both trained secretly by the two. They are well-trained. Since they are in Daliang, they must have a Daliang accent. How can they come up with something like that?

A guy with a different accent comes out?

Even in his accent, this guy is worthy of being a spy? Being an eye and ear?

Of course, having said that, training in this area is very difficult, and even Zhao Yuanli doesn't have many spies who can speak accents from all over the world.

But the problem is, those are the chamberlains and the clan, especially the chamberlains, whose job is to gather information for the emperors of the past generations. How can he be comparable to a prince?

"Isn't he the eunuch, or the clan...?"

Zhao Yuanli frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on those people and see what they want to do... It's best to find out the details of the other party."

"Then King Su, do you still need to keep an eye on me? Your Majesty, I suspect that the people serving in the chamber may have noticed the person below me... If I continue to keep an eye on him, I'm afraid he will be exposed..."

"Since Hongrun is out of trouble, there is no need to keep an eye on him." Zhao Yuanli said calmly.

"clear."

The servant bowed his head and exited the study.

Suddenly, he was slightly startled. In the courtyard outside the study, Zhao Yuanli's clan guard chief Wang Jian was standing there at some point, looking at him thoughtfully.

The servant lowered his head and left in a hurry.

After taking a glance at the study room, Wang Jian, the chief of the Zong Guard, did not rush forward to catch up. He just stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.

Two days later, Zhao Yuanli received news that his nephew Zhao Hongrun, who was a little worried a few days ago, actually united with the Emperor of Wei, four princes including King Chengling, and the current Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan to bring those in the Zongfu together.

The elder Zong was kicked out of the Zongfu.

This move greatly exceeded Zhao Yuanli's expectations.

After all, in the past few days, four princes and kings, including Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, were Zhao Hongrun's enemies. It is hard to imagine that the latter could actually persuade the former. Even the current Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan, the old-fashioned and serious person in Zhao Yuanli's heart,

The second brother Wang was persuaded.

"This kid...is getting more and more capable!"

Zhao Yuanli was surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that Zhao Hongrun was able to turn the situation around in that situation and counterattack the clan; what was gratifying was that the child who looked up to him at the beginning and kept saying that he wanted to be a playboy finally grew into the man who can turn everything around now.

But what made Zhao Yuanli frown was that shortly after Zhao Hongrun overthrew the clan elders in the clan, another rumor spread in Daliang City.

This rumor is obviously aimed at Zhao Hongrun, saying that he keeps disdainful of the throne, but is keen on collecting power. Now he has 100,000 soldiers in his hands and is extremely ambitious.

At that time, Zhao Yuanli saw through the rumor at a glance that it must be the elders of the clan who asked people to release him. After all, he was knocked down by a junior at his age, so he naturally felt unhappy.

"Hongrun is still too young..."

After learning about this, Zhao Yuanli shook his head in the study room of the palace.

He has learned that Zhao Hongrun is planning to put all the faults of the clan on the great uncle Zhao Tairu and the third uncle Zhao Laiyu. In this way, the clan headed by Zhao Yuanyan will suffer in this incident.

The negative impact will be much smaller, which will help the clan continue to restrain the royal families, public families, and nobles in the country in the future.

However, Zhao Hongrun did not release the news at the first time, and allowed the elders of the clan to take the lead.

Think about it, in the face of the rumor that "King Su is retreating in order to gain the throne", what does the news like "a certain elder in the clan pretend to be a public servant for personal gain, and wants to let the aristocratic forces share the benefits of Sanchuan"?

You know, right now in Daliang, what the people are talking about after dinner is most likely "How is King Su" and "a certain elder of the Zongfu", who is that?

"Find a way to control it." Zhao Yuanli ordered the servant who came to report the matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant accepted the order and left.

However, to Zhao Yuanli's surprise, two days later, the unfavorable rumors against his nephew Zhao Hongrun not only did not stop, but intensified, as if everyone in the city knew about it.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanli was unhappy, so he sent away the clan guards that night and stayed alone in the study.

Not long after, the servant came to the study with tea utensils.

Zhao Yuanli was reading a book at the time. He glanced at the visitor and said displeasedly: "What did you do? Didn't I ask you to stop the rumors?"

The servant put down the tea cup and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not that we are incompetent, but in fact... it's the people who serve as supervisors who are allowing this rumor to spread."

"What?"

Zhao Yuanli was stunned for a moment, with some disbelief in his eyes.

"The chamberlain actually...Brother Si Wang? What is he going to do? Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to reduce Hongrun's power? That's not right, hasn't he been training Hongrun?...I see, I understand."

A trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Yuanli shook his head in confusion, thinking to himself: Brother Si Wang really spared no effort in dealing with Hongrun, but it's a pity... I'm afraid things are counterproductive.

"It seems that Hongrun has been staying in Daliang for a long time..."

Zhao Yuanli sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "Since he is a member of the inner chamberlain, then this matter ends here."

"Yes." The servant lowered his head, and then asked: "In addition, there is something else that I think should be reported to the Lord."

Zhao Yuanli scratched his forehead when he heard this, smiled bitterly and said: "If it is Wang Jian's matter, you don't have to say anything, I have already noticed it."

"It's not Wang Jianzong's guard commander. Although he has seen something, he is very tight-lipped. He is not in conflict with me. I think he is loyal to the Lord... What I want to say is to promote things that are not good for King Su.

In addition to the chamberlain, there is another group of people who spread this rumor, the same group of people that the Lord asked me to keep an eye on a few days ago."

Zhao Yuanli was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked: "Are they those guys... whose accents don't sound like they are natives of Daliang?"

"Exactly!" The servant nodded.

Zhao Yuanli frowned and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

At this time, the servant took a few steps forward and whispered: "Under the guise of being drunk, a few people went over to test it. During the struggle, they touched this thing from each other's arms."

After saying that, he took out a bead-like object from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yuanli.

Zhao Yuanli took it and sniffed it, with a hint of confusion on his face: "Wax?" As he said this, he was about to squeeze it hard.

Seeing this, the servant grabbed Zhao Yuanli's hand and said urgently: "No, Your Majesty, this thing contains poison."

"What?" Zhao Yuanli was stunned when he heard this.

At this time, the servant took the wax pill from Zhao Yuanli's hand and whispered: "I have seen a lot of this thing before... This thing is made of wax on the surface, but it is highly poisonous inside. Put it in your mouth and use your teeth to remove it.

When you bite it, the wax ball breaks into pieces, the poisonous juice flows out, and you immediately seal your throat and kill you."

Zhao Yuanli was stunned for a while, then his eyes changed slightly and he murmured: "Dead warrior?!"

Zhao Yuanli was no stranger to wax pills that contained highly toxic substances. After all, he had traveled all over the country for so many years and had never seen strange and weird things.

But the problem is that in Wei State, it is rare to see such things.

Indeed, although the nobles of the Wei State are not allowed to set up private armies, in fact, they have more or less hidden forces that cannot float on the water to protect themselves.

And these hidden powers are bound to be loyal to the families they are loyal to, and may not be much different from dead soldiers.

For example, Zongwei Yu Linlang of the Zongfu can almost be said to be a soldier who is willing to sacrifice for the royal family of the Zhao family with the surname Ji. Even Zhao Hongrun is not enough to instigate rebellion after issuing orders.

But even so, the nobles of the Wei people still disdain to use such things as wax pills that contain extremely poisonous substances.

Unless it's some guy with evil intentions and ulterior motives.

Immediately, Zhao Yuanli changed his expression and asked: "Where are the people?"

"When the guy saw that the pill was missing, he killed himself with the dagger he took from my person..."

"…where is the body?"
To be continued...
