Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, but I think Princess Ding'an should have been vigilant about this matter. Even if we don't mention it, King Xiang should remind Princess Ding'an of everything he knows, so we don't need to worry about these things. This is the current batch of gunpowder. We should fix it as soon as possible. Otherwise, I hope that since we have focused on this place, he will be sure Will try to get into another hospital. "
He said, and their eyes looked at the small stones piled up in the middle of the yard.
"Your Highness, since the matter has come to this stage, my subordinates feel that they can first write to the emperor and truthfully report the matter here to the emperor. As long as we take the first opportunity, they will come in later. Xiao Silai, the Shangguan, wants to go, but still feels that it seems to be the emperor's choice to report the matter to the emperor earlier.
"At present, we don't know much about the power of saltpeter. What's more, we want to apply these things to the cavalry this time, and we don't know the effect. Moreover, our cavalry has not been formed yet. Even if it is played to the emperor, the emperor will only think that I want to cover up and outsmart myself. And now, we The most important thing is that once this matter is played, according to the regulations, we will give these things to the people of the firearm camp, and the people of the firearm camp are people who believe in the king... "
As soon as he said this, Shangguan Xiao immediately felt cold on his back. He didn't think of this layer. If he gave this matter to King Xin, not only all the hard work these days would be wasted, but also, King Xin might sit down on this matter and put a malicious charge on himself.
"Your Highness is worried that now in our east palace, we have already become the target of public criticism. King Xin and King Heping have suffered losses one after another. They must wait for the opportunity. We really should be more careful. However, now that they have focused on here, we have to make plans early."
"You're right. We really should have made plans earlier." Cheng Yuan said. After thinking carefully in his mind for a moment, he nodded to Shangguan Xiao and whispered a few words in his ear.
Shangguan Xiao nodded repeatedly and walked out quickly.
The next day, before dawn, there were noisy footsteps outside.
The leader of the guard, Chang Huan, ran in at a gallop. Seeing Shangguan Xiao on the corridor, he immediately told him positively
"General, it's not good. There are people from the forbidden guards outside. They're coming."
He came really fast enough. Shangguan Xiao thought and looked out: "what's the matter with you now?"
"General, don't worry. Everything is arranged according to the general's meaning." Changhuan nodded affirmatively.
"That's good. Go and open the door and let them in." Shangguan Xiao nodded with satisfaction, lowered his eyebrows, straightened his clothes slightly, and ordered him in a deep voice.
Cheng Yuan in the room had already listened to their dialogue, but the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted.
When Changhuan's steps disappeared, Shangguan Xiao Cai looked around, turned around, opened the door, and walked in quickly.
"Your Highness, they are coming!"
Cheng Yuan nodded when he heard the speech and looked at Shangguan Xiao: "they are coming fast enough. Go out and wait. I want to see how brave they are."
Shangguan Xiao nodded and quickly stepped out of the yard.
As soon as I got to the gate, I saw the fierce leader of the forbidden guards running towards this side.
Shangguan Xiao stood at the door and looked at them from a distance. With a cold hum of displeasure, he looked away and ignored them.
After a pause, he led the crowd to come forward, took out a decree from his sleeve and shook it in front of Shangguan Xiao: "Shangguan general, we are here to arrest the disordered party. Please don't be embarrassed, Shangguan general."
Shangguan Xiao glanced, and the edict in his hand didn't mean to make way: "the general means that our crown prince harbors a chaotic party?"
"Shangguan general misunderstood. This is not what he meant. He just got the news that the disorderly party fled to the suburbs. He will come here for the safety of his Highness the prince. Please make it convenient for Shangguan general."
The other side had comprehensive interests, but after all, he found a good reason. Shangguan Xiao looked at him a few times: "wait here until the general informs his highness."
"Yes," the other arched.
Xiao Cai, a senior official, came out slowly after a long time of incense, and said to the people who had been waiting patiently outside:
"Your Highness the prince is magnanimous and doesn't want to embarrass you. However, you should also understand that your Highness the prince has always been in bad health. This time he is in the yard to recuperate. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to be aggressive."
"We are also acting according to orders. Please make it convenient for Shangguan general." the other party looked like a business.
"Since the general has the imperial edict in hand, I dare not stop him. However, you go in so many people and are fully armed. I don't know, you think you want to arrest our highness." Shangguan Xiao Piao glanced at the dark crowd behind him, and his face was very dissatisfied.
Although the forbidden guards got the emperor's, they went to other hospitals.
However, they are also making trade-offs. After all, the crown prince's position in the emperor's mind is not light. Now, although the emperor has doubts about the crown prince, after all, the crown prince is still the crown prince in the current country. After thinking about it for a moment, the general of the Imperial Guard still gave him this favor.
He turned around and waved to the people behind him. The people dispersed by themselves.
The corner of Shangguan Xiao's mouth tilted slightly, and then he let go of the gate in front of him
Since it's still lost. All the way in. When you arrived at the door, your right was at the door and you didn't go in.
"Please, general Shangguan, your Highness Prince BingMin, our intention, so as not to disturb your highness."
When they arrived at the door of the house, they didn't easily enter the door. They respectfully said, "the last general has been ordered to search the disordered party and ask his royal highness Haihan."
"The general is also acting according to orders. Please help yourself." Cheng Yuan slowly opened his mouth across the screen.
Shangguan Xiao came in and stood next to the screen, looking coldly at them and no longer talking.
Although they came in good spirits, when they were outside the yard, Shangguan Xiao Bian saw that they had to return in bad spirits.
This other courtyard was granted by the emperor when the crown prince was canonized. Now, it's only a few months before it's really in the hands of the crown prince. I'm afraid even the prince didn't see clearly in other hospitals. Can you still hide others in them now?
The other party soon returned in vain.
Xiao, the senior official, still frowned: "Your Highness, it seems that although his highness King Xin is now banned from his residence, he can still stir up the situation in the imperial court. Now, with the forbidden guard, he is also under his control."
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Yuan shook his head when he heard the speech. "It's better for us to understand this. At present, there are more important things to do."
Shangguan Xiao Wenyan also slightly closed his eyes and nodded: "now the Duke of song has personally gone to the cloud state for some time. There is also news from us that they have purchased about 500 war horses and are returning now."
"At this time, he had the ability to buy 500 war horses?" Cheng Yuan heard the news. He was surprised, "didn't the cloud state say there was a plague. How could there be 500 war horses to sell to him."
"This subordinate doesn't know, but the news sent by the spy is true. It's 500 war horses personally selected by the Duke of song." Shangguan Xiao said very positively.
"Really, has the letter from the king of Jiangcheng been delivered?" Cheng Yuan thought for a long time, then slowly stood up and thought of his letter sent to the king of Jiangcheng a few days ago. It's been five days, and there's no news. At this moment, if Duke song really can choose 500 horses from the state of cloud, are all his previous speculations wrong, What is Princess Ding'an planning? Cheng Yuan suddenly felt uneasy at the moment.
