Chapter 81 (1/2)

Capital, Xie's house.

A letter from Northwest China.

Without a moment's delay, the housekeeper took the letter and rushed to see Xie Mao, the head of the Xie family.

”Master, I've heard from Mr. nine of Northwest China.”

”Lao Jiu's letter, bring it in quickly.”

Lao Jiu is Xie mao'an's spy in the northwest and the most hidden one.

Lao Jiu only sent a letter some time ago. Why did he send another letter after half a month.

Is something wrong with Northwest China? Or did he do what he told me?

Xie Mao took the letter, opened the seal and took out the letter.

Xie Mao quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, then took a book from the bookshelf and compared it with the appearance of the letter.

The letter sent by the spy named ah Jiu was a secret letter.

It has to be decrypted to know what the letter really says.

After a little effort, Xie Mao finally finished reading the letter.

At this time, his face was livid and his eyes were open.

Bang!

Xie Mao slapped a slap on the table and said angrily, ”Gu Zhili is deceiving people too much. It's really deceiving.”

Gu Zhili is Mr. Gu.

The content of the secret letter said that Lord Gu had sent someone to arrest Xie Maoan's spy in Jinzhou.

Seeing this, the housekeeper was worried and could not help asking, ”Sir, is something wrong with northwest?”

Xie Mao was so angry that he went back and forth in his study. ”Gu Zhili bullied people so much that he arrested all the people who had been stationed in the northwest.

Does he really think that I dare not touch him? If he doesn't care about the kinship between the two families, then I don't blame him for his ruthlessness. ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he was shocked, ”master, our people have been arrested. What should we do now? Lu Hou's house... ”

Xie Mao snorted coldly, ”ah Jiu will find a way to deal with the matter over there. I can't. We can only carry out the second plan. At present, Gu Zhili is the first to bear the brunt. If he dares to do something bad to me, I will definitely let him look good. ”

Xie Mao was very angry in his heart and wanted to cut Mr. Gu to pieces.

The spy in Northwest China has been in business for more than ten years. Once he was uprooted by Gu Zhili, how could he not be angry or distressed.

What made him shudder even more was that how did Gu Zhili accurately grasp the list of Northwest spies? Is it possible that someone can't stand torture and confess?

However, no matter what the reason is, the Liang Zi and Gu Xie families are married.

”Master, it's not good!”

The porter rushed to the study.

”What's the matter? Why are you in a hurry before the sky falls? ”

The porter took a breath, and then said, ”tell the Lord, Lord, Lord Yin Zhang of the capital mansion has been arrested by zhijinwu.”

”What?”

Xie Mao was shocked.

Lord Zhang, the prince of the capital, is a cousin of the empress and an important member of the prince faction.

And zhijinwu is the emperor's dogleg, hawk dog, everything in accordance with the emperor's will.

Once zhijinwu goes out, people in the capital are in danger and the situation changes.

Over the years, the officials who have been captured by zhijinwu have not seen any one bolt out.

Either he died directly in the prison of zhijinwu, or he was exiled.

In short, there was no good end.

Lord Zhang, the governor of the capital city, was captured by zhijinwu, which means that some people have slandered in front of the emperor, and some people want to plot against his royal highness.

Xie Mao was clear from the beginning to the end that there was a strong anti crown prince force in the capital.

Over the years, the two sides have been fighting each other.

Even the prince's highness, in many cases, can still stand the upper hand.

But since the queen was seriously ill, the situation changed.

The crown prince's situation is getting worse.

Before that, several adults had been dismissed from office. Fortunately, those adults are not important people.

However, Lord Yin Zhang of the capital is not the same.

As a father and mother of the capital, Lord Zhang is in charge of the capital. He seems to be affected everywhere. In fact, he secretly gives great convenience to the prince's group.

If this position is replaced by a person who is against the prince's forces, it will not only be the loss of the prince faction, but also his Xie Mao will have to be restrained everywhere.

Therefore, the prince faction must not lose the position of governor in the capital.

In any case, we must seize the position of governor in the capital before the anti crown prince forces act.

Xie Mao immediately decided, ”prepare the horse, I want to go to the east palace to see the prince.”

The housekeeper takes orders.

Xie Mao changed his clothes and went out to the east palace.

After entering the eastern palace, Xie Mao asked his inner servant, ”where is your highness at the moment?”

The Chamberlain bowed down and said, ”my Lord, your highness is discussing important matters with you in Bowang garden at the moment.”

Xie Mao rushed to Bowang garden.Several core members of the East Palace arrived, waiting for Xie Mao.

”Xie Aiqing, please sit down.”

Prince Liu Xian, a middle-aged man over 40, is slightly fat and looks very kind. Like a scholar, not like a prince of high power.

The crown prince is said to be generous.

In recent years, no one in the East Palace was convicted and sent to prison, not to mention copying and beheading.

Even if someone made a mistake, he was sent out of the East Palace at most.

Compared with his majesty, the prince deserves a generous reputation for his frequent killing, beheading and killing his family.

However, Prince Cheng is also generous, failure is also generous.

All the people in the court know that the biggest reason why the Emperor didn't like the prince was that the prince was weak and generous.

Xie Mao sat down on the chair. ”Have you heard about Zhang's arrest by zhijinwu?”

They all nodded.

Then we all talked about it.

”Let's go to see your majesty and plead for Lord Zhang. What's wrong with Mr. Zhang? What's the reason for arresting people

”It's said to be corruption.”

”Hum! groundless statement. Mr. Zhang was born into a rich family, and there are many maids and servants in his family. There is no need for corruption. ”

”Clearly, it's a false charge.”

”Your Highness, make up your mind. It's too late. I'm afraid Mr. Zhang is more dangerous than lucky. ”

They all looked at Prince Liu Xian.

Prince Liu Xian was hesitant and obviously uncertain.

Even when it comes to meeting his majesty and pleading for Lord Zhang, the prince subconsciously wants to withdraw.

Although the prince is over forty, he is still afraid of him.

Especially since the death of the prince's uncle zhenguogong, the prince is more and more afraid of his majesty.

Prince Liu Xian and even naobu, if he goes to plead, his emperor will certainly stare at him with a look of hatred. In his anger, he might take up a sword or a knife and throw it at him.

You can't hide, you can only bear it. And he'll be damned by his emperor.

When people in their forties want to bear such pressure, the prince's heart is empty and extremely sad.

It's not a good seat for prince.

Xie Mao has been silent.

Prince Liu Xian couldn't help looking at him, ”thank you, please tell me what you think.”

Xie Mao glanced at all the people and said in a loud voice: ”Lord Zhang has been captured by zhijinwu. At this moment, instead of thinking about how to rescue people, we should think about how to prevent the position of the governor of the capital from falling into the hands of the enemy.

All of you here should be aware that the position of the governor of the capital seems to be a receiving bag, but these years, it has indeed brought us great convenience.

Lose this position, the east palace will be subject to the upper and lower levels, and even implicate your highness
