Zuo Wei held a secret letter in his hand and walked quickly past everyone in the mansion and walked straight towards the study.
When he came to the door, he was stopped by the guard guarding the door.
Zuo Wei understood clearly. "Who's in there?"
The guard nodded.
"Nonsense!" Zuo Wei immediately frowned, but his voice was consciously lowered to an extremely low level, "I... this is a secret message sent from over there!"
The guard lowered his eyes and glanced at the secret letter Zuo Wei held in his hand. He was troubled in his heart, but his eyes quickly turned elsewhere. "Prince said that no one is allowed to disturb him before he comes out."
Zuo Wei: "Otherwise, if I trip you, you will fall down, accidentally hit the door, and then accidentally scream--"
Before he could finish his arrogant words, the guard said with a straight face, "Refuse."
Zuo Wei stamped his feet fiercely. "I'm really in a hurry!"
"Refuse."
Zuo Wei:"..."
Stick to the rules! Stubborn!
The guard looked away indifferently.
Zuo Wei gritted his teeth and was just about to rush forward at the risk of his life. The closed wooden door slowly opened in front of several people after a crisp "creak--" sound.
Jiang Silin's eyes as cold as frost swept over Zuo Wei's face. Without asking him the purpose of coming here, he directly ordered, "Get ready, I am going to Beiming."
Zuo Wei:"??!"
Angry eyes immediately fell on the woman following 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 the decisions he has already made?!
The sound of grinding his teeth unconsciously escaped from between his lips. Jiang Silin glanced at Zuo Wei and without further explanation, he took a step towards the outside.
Zuo Wei was startled, and quickly trotted after him, his voice urgent. "Prince! Prince You can't just let go at this time, Prince!"
"An urgent letter came from Ke Ming, saying that things have changed as expected by Prince. Now the army is stationed at Zhuoping County, waiting for your decision!"
Jiang Silin's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his tone was irritable. "Bring it here."
Zuo Wei hurriedly handed over the letter, and saw a dark cloud lingering between his Prince's frowning eyebrows. He guessed that the other party might not have given up on leaving for Beiming. After thinking about it, he decided to add some fire to the anxious atmosphere in front of him.
--The anxiety is what he thinks about himself, and he is almost burning himself to death.
"Prince," Zuo Wei tried, "The person who sent the message also said that the Jingchuan County magistrate was probably not the only one to rebel. When he sent people to investigate the original route, he found that many people had very suspicious attitudes."
This was not alarmist. Ever since such rumors leaked out, they had expected that some officials who were not closely related to them would rebel at this time. However, they did not expect that the backup route they had planned just in case would really come in handy one day.
Jiang Silin read the letter at a glance and let out a long sigh with a troubled expression.
Zuo Wei quickly suggested in a low voice. "What is Prince going to Beiming for? Can you let your subordinates do it for you?!"
Jiang Silin turned his head, his eyes were complicated and empty, as if he was looking at Zuo Wei, and at the same time he seemed to be looking at Qiu Suxin behind Zuo Wei.
After a long while, his voice was low. "I need... to find someone in Beiming Capital..."
Zuo Wei:"Looking for someone?"
"Hmm."
"A child."
[Ahahahahahaha--]
[Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha--]
The ministers in the study tried their best to suppress the anxious expressions on their faces, and had conversations with Emperor Mingze from time to time to make their behavior here not so strange and abrupt.
Just--
Didn't the little guy laugh for too long?!
From the moment he said "Prince Xin's Army has arrived at Zhuoping County", the little guy seemed to have just realized what he had just said. He lowered his head suddenly and turned over the information attentively.
Not long after, a series of bursts of laughter echoed throughout the study.
The officials' ears were ringing with laughter, and their hearts were extremely anxious.
Did you see any funny news?!
Talk to them too!!
--Zhuoping County is a little out of the way and is not the best route from Prince Xin's Fief to Capital City. If Prince Xin wants to take advantage of the "missing" period of Your Majesty to achieve great things, he should not choose this route.
There must be something inside of this!!
Everyone's hearts felt like tens of millions of ants crawling through them, and it took them a long while to finally hear the second half of the little guy's sentence -
[Hahahahaha, the rumor that Imperial Father came up with actually worked hahahaha--]
[After the county magistrate heard the rumors about the conspiracy against Prince Jing who cooperated with him, he was too frightened to reply to the news from Prince Xin privately. The people from Prince Xin discovered the clues and would rather take a long way around than pass through the territory of Jingchuan County hahahaha!]
[Not only did they not dare to travel through the territory of Jingchuan County, but several connected cities were also put on the defensive. The entire army was dispersed and stationed in the territory of Zhuoping County, waiting for the new order from Prince Xin...]
Jiang Yingcheng issued a soul question: [Do these people... really want Rebellion?!]
It seems like my brain is not very useful.
The ministers were silent.
I never imagined that the truth would be like this.
Is it really just because of a rumor?
What about their previous speculation that Prince Xin's Army had to change its route due to some huge event?!
Are they considered unnecessary?!
But...
The little guy mentioned this news, they really have a lot that they can do!
Judging from the clues that they are currently hiding Zhuoping County, they can send people to intercept and replace them first. After this team merges with the rest of the Prince Xin's Army's troops, they can cooperate inside and outside and take most of the men into their own hands in one fell swoop!!
As for the soldiers, most of them are just for the few taels of silver to support their families. They don't have a strong sense of belonging, so they can be easily instigated!
[Oh, Prince Xin, at this time, do you still want to go to Beiming in person?!]
The ministers stretched their necks silently again.
What to do at Beiming?
Go and see if Your Majesty is really missing?
[Eh?!]
[Qiu Suxin appears?!]
Ministers: "???"
Who is that?
What did they miss?!
[Wow! Prince Xin knows that he has a child living in Beiming?!]
Ministers: "!!!"
What what?!
They have a child?!
Nai Huhu's heart was filled with anger: [Hey! Let him go! You let him go!!]
That guy named Zuo Wei, why did you persuade him to stay?!
Only when he goes there will he know what despair is!
Jiang Yingcheng unconsciously took out an oil paper bag from the secret pocket of his cuff, dug out a small piece of Pastries, and took a bite: [Brother Zhili has already been brought back by Chengcheng. Even if he rummaged through Beiming, he still would not find his son~]
