Chapter 703

Wei ruoyi continued to sail because of the delay of several days due to the injury of "Xiao Jin".

She sent several letters to the capital to inform her majesty of the situation of "Xiao Jin".

On learning that "Xiao Jin" was assassinated on his way to celebrate his birthday, his majesty flew into a rage, ordered the royal guards to investigate the matter, and asked the royal guards to command Lord Qin to send people to escort Prince Yongning to Beijing.

When the fleet of Yongning Prince's residence set sail again, Dongsheng King's fleet had left early for about seven days, far behind the fleet of Yongning Prince's residence.

"Princess." after sun Huai entered the cabin, he saluted with his fist, "he caught two more spies."

"Really?" Wei Ruo Yi turned his eyes and smiled slowly. "These people really don't give up."

"Didn't the people in Dongsheng palace get on the boat to check last time?" Sun Huai asked puzzled, "how can there be detailed work coming?"

"Come and sit down." Wei ruoyi saw that sun Huai's hem and cuffs were stained with autumn cold and dew, so he smiled, "let the green calyx make you a pot of hot tea, drink some and warm up."

It is already autumn. The weather in Daliang is very cold. The river is windy and heavy dew. If you go out for a patrol in the middle of the night, the moisture will be unbearable.

"General sun has worked hard." green calyx came over with just soaked tea and smiled at Sun Huai.

"No hard work, no hard work. Thank you, Miss Green calyx." Sun Huai leaned over and said.

Holding the hot tea cup infected by hot water in his hand, sun Huai lowered his eyes slightly.

The lights in the cabin were dim. Wei Ruo, sitting not far from him, dressed in plain clothes and sat near the window. He looked lazy in his leisure. The prosperity of his face made him afraid to see more.

"You have come to this point with me. I don't want to hide some things from the general anymore." Wei ruoyi said with a light smile.

Sun Huai looked cold and straightened his back immediately, "princess, please say."

In the past, he stubbornly called Wei ruoyi princess, but didn't want to admit the fact that she married Xiao Jin. Sun Huai knew it from the bottom of his heart, but he just pretended not to understand it.

"I told you and Feng Ping before that just trust me. I won't take you to do anything against conscience and morality, nor will I push you into the fire pit and bake you on the fire. I know your feelings for the Kansai cavalry camp. The reason why you can follow me to Dongsheng state is that you want to see this cavalry mounted in your father's hands." Wei ruoyi smiled.

Sun Huai shook his hand gently holding the water cup and almost spilled a few drops of tea.

Wei ruoyi knows him

The bottom of his heart immediately set off no small waves, stirring his heart a little.

But she only guessed one, not the other

Then I can't guess. The bottom of sun Huai's heart is slightly astringent.

"You must be very surprised why King Dongsheng is against our palace again and again." Wei ruoyi said slowly. "You must also be surprised why everyone goes to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, why we have to bring so many people together, and King Dongsheng has more people on board than we do."

Sun Huai gathered back his mind. He had doubts about what Wei ruoyi said, but Wei ruoyi didn't speak, and he didn't dare to ask first.

"You know your majesty is ill." Wei ruoyi said faintly. "And he had the intention to cut the vassal."

Sun Huai's eyes shrunk. Even if he was no longer in the frontier, away from the capital and away from political affairs, he was also a general. He was familiar with military books since childhood. He was not stupid. Wei ruoyi just mentioned it, and he immediately reacted.

"What does the princess mean? The king of Dongsheng has changed?" Sun Huai frowned. "Is the assassination of the Lord related to him?"

"Transparent." Wei ruoyi nodded. "My father went to southern Xinjiang and the capital was empty. This is the best time for some people with ulterior motives to make trouble. King Dongsheng's heart can be killed. He naturally wants to stop us and won't let our Lord arrive in the capital in peace."

"Those detailed works are to explore the movements of our palace?" Sun Huai said. "Even if the prince has been assassinated and injured, they still have a thief's heart and want us to stop?"

"If the prince dies violently on the road, our palace must not go to the capital again, so these people are not only here to explore, but also to assassinate." Wei ruoyi's tone is cold. "I've hidden the prince and let Wei Xin and Wei Geng protect him closely. We must make sure that the prince arrives in the capital safely. If King Dongsheng is in trouble with his majesty, I'm afraid we'll be a strange army in his Majesty's hands. When we arrive near the capital, we'll stop again. At that time, there will be a team of merchant ships waiting at the wharf. I need you to select some trustworthy people to disguise on the ship and hide it from the public Someone's eyes, these people must be absolutely reliable. You can do it. "

"The end will understand." Sun Huai hugged his fist. "Please rest assured, princess. The end will choose such a person himself."

"Well, if you stay with me, you need to get in touch with those people in real time and command their movements." Wei ruoyi said.

"I see." Sun Huai nodded.

"Don't tell Feng Ping about it for the time being. Although he is nice, he is too upright. I'm afraid he can't hold secrets in his stomach these days." Wei ruoyi said, "you can explain to him when you arrive at the wharf. You also need his cooperation at that time."

"Yes, I will understand." Sun Huai nodded.

"Well, thank you, general. Let's go back and have a rest." Wei ruoyi nodded and said to sun Huai.

After sun Huai left, Wei ruoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how much delay, it is just around the corner to reach the capital.

Maybe not before, but with the passage of time, Wei ruoyi felt more and more that what was waiting ahead was a fierce battle. She didn't tell sun Huai everything, so she didn't want to show her cards.

She took up the green calyx and poured her tea, held it in her hand and fell into meditation.

The eldest brother has found out that the fourth Prince and his concubine transported a large number of weapons from Ningchuan city to the capital in the form of a caravan, and many Rouran soldiers also joined the caravan and followed south to Beijing all the way.

So Xiao Ziya must let the fourth Prince play in front.

So now there is a problem. When are they going to do it? If it's too early to suppress it, Xiao Ziya knows that she has been prepared here. Maybe Xiao Ziya will lose her car and guard the marshal in order to save herself. She will directly put the fourth prince in front and sell him. Then she will retreat and find another countermeasure.

If you start too late, you're afraid of creating complications and let Xiao Ziya fish in troubled waters. Instead, you get hands and feet.

The more Wei ruoyi thought about it, the more he felt that it was really worth considering again.

Think about the original works, Lin Shiyao finally became the queen, and Wei ruoyi protected Lin Shiyao who came through. After that, she also asked her how Lin Shiyao became the queen in the original works. For her confused walker, Lin Shiyao obviously needs to know more than her.

Lin Shiyao in the original works got on the line with Xiao Ziya and played a drama of Mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches in the future. However, the development of things has been very different from the original work, so the content described by Lin Shiyao is not very applicable to the current situation.

In the original work, his father set up troops to support the twelve princes and wanted to force his majesty to pass the throne to the twelve princes. Xiao Ziya and Lin Shiyao took advantage of this and greatly weakened his Majesty's strength. Later, they asked the king to set up troops and forced his majesty to abdicate the throne. In the whole original work, Lin Shiyao accepted many capable people. Xiao Ziya and Xiao Jin loved Lin Shiyao deeply, Xiao Ziya and Xiao Jin can't coexist. Xiao Ziya wants to monopolize Lin Shiyao, so Lin Shiyao doesn't hesitate to kill Xiao Jin and let Xiao Ziya fall in love with her. After Xiao Ziya successfully ascends the throne, she and Xiao Ziya stand side by side as emperor and queen of heaven, replicating Wu Zetian's path to the throne. Later, Lin Shiyao successfully assassinated Xiao Ziya with the help of others, In the name of Xiao Ziya's revenge, she killed the person who helped Xiao Ziya ascend the throne. Since then, all the power has been concentrated in her hands.

Today's situation has undergone earth shaking changes. First of all, he is alive and Xiao Jin is married to him. His father can't anger his majesty and Xiao Jin because of his death, let alone rebel in the name of the twelve princes. Therefore, his Majesty's strength has not been weakened at all, and has been secretly strengthened because of his existence with Xiao Jin.

Xiao Ziya is a smart man. If he sees that things are going badly, he is likely to stop and escape in time.

The layout has been so long, it must not be the four princes who have been pushed to the front desk, but must eradicate Xiao Ziya, a cancer hidden behind, otherwise no one will be easy to do, and they will always feel like a thorn in the back and a lump in the throat.

So the best thing is to have a way to lure Xiao Ziya to show her flaws and come to the stage.

Xiao Ziya still has guns in her hand. Although she has made such things on her own side, if Xiao Ziya secretly arranges guns near the capital or even the palace, the damage caused by that time is not a small matter and has to be prevented.

Xiao Ziya asked King Dongsheng to check their ships to see if they brought anything they shouldn't have brought into Beijing. Fortunately, she had already made arrangements. She secretly arranged another fleet to transport artillery all the way to Beijing, pretending to be a caravan, and installed several huge landscape bonsai in her fleet to press the ship, resulting in the deep draft of the ship, which was used to confuse Xiao Ziya's eyes and ears and Dongsheng king.

Now it seems that this strategy has worked. Dongsheng Wang didn't find anything in his cabin. He must have told Xiao Ziya and let Xiao Ziya relax. He concluded that he transported so much iron ore into the dock just for shipbuilding and has no other use.

With the passage of time, the date of your Majesty's birthday is getting closer and closer. The vassal kings from all over the country have successively arrived in the capital. Unlike before, they did not directly enter the city this time, but chose to set up camps near the suburbs of Beijing.

Dongshengwang and his party occupied the vicinity of the waterway wharf. The large ship dropped its anchor and the fleet lined up on the wharf with extraordinary momentum.

According to Xiao Ziya's plan, the king of Dongsheng blocked Xiao Jin from the waterway and prevented Xiao Jin's fleet from near the capital. In this way, even if Xiao Jin arrived in the capital, he could not occupy the nearest favorable terrain from the capital. The wharf is located near the east gate of the capital. Garrisoning here not only guards the wharf, but also seals the east gate of the capital.

The team led by King Songjiang gathered near the South Gate of the capital. The people of Luochuan Palace are arranged at the west gate of the capital.

In the palace, Xiao Jin accompanied her majesty.

"Except you Yongning palace, all the other houses have arrived." Your Majesty said slowly, looking at the latest secret report. The candle flickered, and His Majesty's face was dark in the soft light.

"Yes." Xiao Jin nodded.

"It will be arranged." Your Majesty smiled slightly ironically. "The east gate, west gate and south gate are occupied by several vassal kings. Now the only exit is the north gate." Your Majesty pointed to a city defense map of the capital and said. "I really want to see who they will put near the north gate."

"I'm afraid it's soft," said Xiao Jin.

"Good, good." Your Majesty laughed angrily. "Soft people don't confront Daqi, but they come to participate in our girder's family affairs. It's really stretching their hands longer and longer!"

"The fourth imperial concubine is Princess Rouran. On this father's birthday, Rouran big Khan also sent envoys to Beijing. They will arrive in Beijing soon. They have two thousand cavalry." Xiao Jin said, "but according to the news from Wei Jingxue, many Rouran soldiers mixed in the caravan and arrived near the capital one after another through Ningchuan. The number is unknown."

"How many people can there be according to your estimation?" asked his majesty.

"Even if you break up the staff and come to Beijing in batches, I don't think there will be too many people that Princess Rouran can mobilize. After all, there are too many people, which will attract attention." Xiao Jin said, "according to the estimation of her son's minister, there are about 1000 people."

"The soft people are three thousand cavalry?" Your Majesty snorted. "Three thousand cavalry want to control the north gate of the capital of Daliang. The soft people want more!"

"What if three thousand cavalry plus Xiao Ziya's cannon?" Xiao Jin quietly pointed out.

Your majesty frowned at the speech. Yes, if 3000 fierce gentle cavalry and Xiao Ziya's cannon could be used by thousands of people.

"Has royal guards ever found the position of cannons?" Your Majesty raised his eyes and asked.

"Probably a little eyebrows." Xiao Jin nodded. "Just not sure yet."

"Not sure yet?" his majesty frowned deeper. "Those cannons are not small objects. Why can't they be found."

"My son thought Xiao Ziya should disassemble the cannon and hide it separately. He would only take it out when the time came," Xiao Jin said.

"This is also in line with his cautious character." his majesty snorted. "Hurry to explore."

"Yes, my son understands." Xiao Jin bowed. "Don't worry, father. Since all the vassal kings have arrived in Beijing, the horse's feet that should be exposed will always be exposed. Don't worry, father."
