Hearing this, Zhao Si's pupils couldn't help but shrink and asked: "What clue?"
"When I return to my home, Dong Yinfeng, deputy commander of the 67th Infantry Regiment, will find me."
"A-67 Infantry Regiment, A-67 Infantry Regiment of Zuo Yiwei?"
"Yes, official."
"What about this Dong Yinfeng?"
"When we return to the official family, this Dong Yinfeng was originally an old subordinate of Han Xueru, and he was the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Divine Guards in front of the palace. But he was still clean and self-sufficient. No trace of crime was found during the inspection, so he studied in the Wansheng Training Team
After six months of service, he was assigned to the 67th Infantry Regiment A as deputy commander."
"Well, what does he want from you?"
"When he returned to the official's house, he found the minister and told him that someone was quietly looking for him and paying him a lot of money to persuade him to participate in a big event."

"A big deal? He should know your identity. Since he is willing to find you secretly and has also informed you of the secret, it seems that he is a loyal minister?"
"When he returned to the official house, he said that he was so deeply favored by the emperor that he would not dare to betray him even if he died. When he found him there, he did not hesitate to report it. But he felt that the matter was of great importance and was afraid that the news would be leaked. After thinking about it,
He had an old relationship with Wei Chen before, and he knew that Wei Chen was still respected by the government, so he quietly came to find Wei Chen..."
"Who's looking for him?"
"Wang Yu."
"Wang Yu?"
"Yes, the former Prince Consort, General Wuwei, now Doctor Guanglu, Privy Council Councilor Wang Yu."
"My fourth sister, the husband of Princess Chen?"
"Yes, official."
Zhao Si's face looked a little ugly.
Princess Chen Guochang’s mother was the Song family, the concubine of her father’s emperor, who passed away very early1. Princess Chen Guochang was raised by the Zhu family as her own child.
Zhe Zong, Zhao Si, and the ten sisters all called her fourth sister, and regarded her as their biological sister.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng's reign, she was granted the title of eldest princess, and married to Wang Yu, the great-grandson of Emperor Renzong's prime minister, Wang Sui, a leading figure in the Wang family of Heyang family, and general of the left guard.
Zhao Si ascended the throne and was granted the title of Princess Chen. Wang Yu was awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor and served as a counselor of the Privy Council. Although he had no real power, he had an honorable status and had the opportunity to counsel military-made military aircraft.
He actually participated in this major treason case, and even personally went to win over the officers to commit evil acts.
Zhao Si suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Have you informed the secretary about this?"
"Wei Chen immediately wrote a confidential document and reported it to the Confidential Bureau."
Liu Yanqing was a smart man and knew that this kind of thing must be reported immediately, otherwise the officials would think that you were hiding information to claim credit, and the gain outweighed the loss.
"Okay, Mr. Xuan Ming will make arrangements later to teach you and Dong Yinfeng how to deal with Wang Yu."
"Here!"
"Other than that, is there anything unusual about you?"
"When we return to the official residence, there are several people in the Prince's Mansion of Jinkang County who have been very active during this period. They have secretly connected with the officers and soldiers of the four guards in the capital, as well as the subordinate officials of various Cao Halls in Kaifeng Prefecture."
"Zhao Xiaoqian? What happened to Yang Jian last time, I only punished him with a year's salary, and I thought about it for half a year. I didn't expect to give him the courage."
Zhao Si smiled coldly. Liu Yanqing couldn't help but lower his head.
"Gao Qiu—didn't he look for you?"
"When I returned to my official home, I went to see Wei Chen. Wei Chen was ordered to organize a Cuju League, and this guy came to talk to me about the league."
"I've heard that Gao Qiu is indeed a master of Cuju. When it comes to the league, there's nothing unusual about it."
"Yes, there is nothing unusual. In addition, Gao Qiu also asked about the polo league and said that the Wu Palace was interested in forming a polo team to compete."
Zhao nodded noncommittally and said a few words of comfort: "Well done! Keep working hard!"
After Liu Yanqing left, Ming Zhaoxia, who had been sitting next to him watching the street scene, came forward and gave Zhao Siman a cup of tea.
"Thirteenth Prince, after talking like this, your mouth is dry. Drink some warm tea."
"Yeah." Zhao Si nodded and took a few sips of tea.
"Thirteenth Master, are you fishing when you frequently summon these people?" Ming Zhaoxia asked.
"Yes. Changsun Moli, Cao Duo are the ambassadors and deputy ambassadors investigating the case, and the identities of the rest of them are all open secrets in the eyes of interested people. The masterminds behind the scenes have been keeping an eye on these people for a long time. I asked
They come to Changqing Tower frequently just to alert others and tell them that there is a big fish here."
"Burning down a thousand houses or ten thousand houses is not worth burning me to death. Especially now that I have no heirs, if something unexpected happens, they will completely overturn the situation. This bet has high risks, but the rewards are also large enough.
"
After listening to Zhao Si's words, Ming Zhaoxia was speechless. After a while, she said quietly: "Guan Jia, you have a body of thousands of gold, why do you need to risk your life?"
"Zhaoxia, if you want to gain something from anything you do, you must pay for it; any choice requires taking risks. There are at least four barrels of kerosene and the masterminds behind the scenes hiding in the dark. Where are they? How many people are there?
There is no possibility that there is more kerosene... We don't know at all. If we don't use this method to lure the thieves out and let the thieves set fire tonight, the consequences will be disastrous."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si's tone became more firm, "I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Even if I enjoy supreme power, I should bear corresponding responsibilities. I have the responsibility to protect my people from the suffering of war, fire and famine! If I can even bear this responsibility
None, why are you thinking about surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
Ming Zhaoxia suddenly asked again: "What if those thieves are not fooled and continue to set fire to the city?"
Zhao Si was silent for a while, and then replied in a deep voice: "In the second year of Yuanfu, the reserve position was not yet determined. At that time, I made the worst plan. In case of failure, I escaped from Kaifeng City, raised the flag in Jingzhao Mansion, and Qingjun was at the side of Hehuang.
During the battle, I also prepared for the worst. If I were defeated and my reputation was ruined, not only would there be no place for me to stand in the northwest, but there would be no place for me to stand in Kaifeng. I was afraid that I would flee eastward in panic."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si's face was full of determination, "But even if I fall into a trap, I will not give in easily. I will quietly lie dormant, gather strength, and wait for the opportunity."
"Tonight, if the thieves set fire to Kaifeng City, I will not hesitate to have people kill Brother Richard and Zhang Yuanqing, and then claim that the fire was secretly set by the Xixia thieves for revenge. Then I will take a short rest.
, gather the power of the whole country, strike with thunder, or in other words, make a desperate move, and use all our strength to destroy Xixia!"
Ming Zhaoxia was not surprised. She knew her husband very well and felt that such a reaction was very normal.
She looked at Zhao Xi's face, a face she would never get tired of.
"As a concubine, I don't want the thieves to divert the target and put you in danger; but as a Song Dynasty person, I don't want the thieves to set fire to the sealed city, which will kill many innocent people."
"No matter what, tonight is going to be a very long night." Zhao Si said quietly as he looked out the window at the increasingly darkening sky and the city of Kaifeng where the lights were on.
In a courtyard somewhere in Kaifeng City, a group of mysterious people gathered together.
"Lang Jun, I found out that the people who went to Changqing Tower in the afternoon were Changsun Moli, Tan Shiji, Cao Duo, Yang Jin, Yan Qing and Liu Chuanfeng. They are all Hunjun's confidants. So, Changqing Tower
There must be that tyrannical and foolish king in his private room."
"Send someone to keep an eye on Changqing Tower. That person is brave and loves to visit privately in disguise. If that person comes out, he is accompanied by a very handsome son, then it is confirmed. When he visits incognito in private, he is always accompanied by the man who was arrested.
The noble concubine of Ming Dynasty who is called Zhaoxiajun."
"Mr. Lang, we're keeping an eye on it. It's just that it's heavily guarded there, with open and hidden sentries. Our people don't dare to get too close."
"Mr. Lang, if that's really the one, it's a God-given opportunity," a voice like an owl said, "Create chaos, and then kill him during the chaos. This world belongs to the other one, and we can not only avenge everything."
, it can also turn the tables, from being smelly to being popular, from being a lost dog to being a successful minister and powerful person."
When it came to the later part, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Mr. Lang, that one is very cautious, and there are countless guards around him. Once we go up, we can't say that we will never come back. And, is there any fraud here?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's a trap! It's such a coincidence. Tonight is the time for us to take action, and he showed up and summoned so many people one after another, as if he was afraid that we wouldn't know."
The one called Lang Jun said with a sneer.
"Lang Jun, even if it is a big hole, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In contrast, burning those poor houses is just to vent your anger. Burning a thousand or ten thousand houses will not hurt him at all. On the contrary, we will be exposed
He has lost his whereabouts and there is no way for him to survive."
There was silence in the room.
"Lang Jun, we don't have enough manpower. If we go to assassinate that person, the effect of arson will be greatly reduced."
"In that case, let's take advantage of it!" Lang Jun's voice was loud and clear, but full of hatred. This chapter has been completed!
