When Li Chen stepped into the Qianqing Palace, the capital seemed to be silent due to military control, but there was an undercurrent surging.
Zhao Mansion.
A middle-aged man with an average appearance quickly walked in and went to the backyard to see Zhao Xuanji, who was lying on a recliner under the eaves and reading a book.
"Mr. Ge." The middle-aged man bowed with a respectful attitude.
Zhao Xuanji put down the book, slightly drooped his half-closed eyes, and said in a soft voice: "How many times have I told you, Mr. Ge is in the past tense, and you are not allowed to call me anymore."
The middle-aged man immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, sir."
After a brief pause, the middle-aged man said: "The capital city is now under complete lockdown. Everyone, regardless of their status, is confined to their homes and not allowed to go out. It is indeed the people of Habayashi Wei who did it."
"In addition... Lord Zhang Biwu entered the palace two hours ago and has not come out yet."
Zhao Xuanji's expression was calm, without causing any disturbance.
"Zhang Biwu..."
After muttering something, Zhao Xuanji sneered inexplicably: "Hey, it's going to rain. My mother is getting married, so I can't control it."
The middle-aged man said carefully: "Master, if Zhang Biwu plans to seize power..."
"He must have seized power. Could it be that he went to the palace to ask for a sip of tea from the queen?"
"Now that the Habayashi Guards have moved and put the capital under direct military control, it means something has changed greatly. Master, don't we take some measures?" the middle-aged man asked.
Zhao Xuanji shook his head and said: "The Yulin Guards moved, which shows that nothing happened."
"If Zhang Biwu can seize power by himself, he is too underestimated of the East Palace, and he is too underestimated of me."
Zhao Xuanji's tone was incomprehensible, and he said: "I have been trying to do something my whole life, but Zhang Biwu can do it? He still doesn't understand that it is useless to rely on a few words from civil servants to seize power. Real power has never been achieved." It has to be defeated or even killed by soldiers and horses. If you gather a group of civil servants and want to seize power, you are crazy!"
The middle-aged man whispered: "But now there are more and more signs that Zhang Biwu is connected with Nanfang. He will definitely not dare to take this action without Nanfang's support..."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "He can't accomplish anything, but it was Yu Linwei who took action, which is a bit strange..."
Waving his hand, Zhao Xuanji said: "Let's run a few hidden lines to find out whether the prince has returned to Beijing."
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man's body suddenly tensed up.
Obviously, the word "prince" brought him great pressure and intimidation.
Lowering his head, the middle-aged man said: "As you command."
After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man added: "Many officials are now panic-stricken, fearing that drastic changes will occur...Does the master need to calm people's hearts?"
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "There is no need to comfort them. The smart ones will naturally know what to do. Even if you try to comfort the unsmart ones, it will be of no use. They will still make the wrong choice. What's more, there will naturally be someone to calm them down." .”
"As for Fu Yuzhi... you go over there and let him feel at ease in the house. Don't do anything or say anything. Just wait and see what happens. At this juncture, once the real prince returns to Beijing, then he must Keep a low profile and don't make any moves."
The middle-aged man immediately said: "I'll do it now, little man."
