Tang Yin didn't understand why he was betrayed by Zhu Haoyan. Zhu Wanhong was uneasy and kind-hearted when he returned to Anlu. King Xing even believed his words and sent people to investigate secretly...
Tang Yin could only think so for the time being.
Zhu Youqian was very pleased: "In the palace, there are not only Mr. Tang, a sage who has an insight into opportunities and predicts events like a god, but also a loyal and loyal man like Lu Dianzhan, who is always cautious and observant. It seems that Yuan Changshi's worries are unnecessary." , even if he is not here, there will be no deviation in the palace."
King Xing's words made Tang Yin understand that Lu Song was not ordered to investigate, but did his own thing.
Tang Yin immediately thought, could it be that Lu Song went to investigate Zhu Wanhong after Zhu Hao reminded him?
Zhang Zuo asked hurriedly: "Then Prince, how should we deal with it next? If it is true that the royal guards are watching, I'm afraid... the palace will not be peaceful. Not only must people enter and exit with caution, but should we also be more cautious about daily meals?"
Zhang Zuo was not only worried about Jin Yiwei causing trouble, but also fearing that the other party would send people to infiltrate the palace. The possibility of a blatant assassination was unlikely, but if methods such as secret poisoning were used, it would be impossible to prevent it.
Zhu Chen said: "Your Highness, I heard that a child from the Zhu family of Jinyiwei is in the palace. Should you... drive him away? Or take more precautions?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yin and Lu Song became inexplicably nervous.
Zhu Chen is a military attache, and he doesn't care about power struggles or family grudges. What he pays attention to is a person's origin. The stereotype is that identity represents a position. Zhu Hao is a member of the Zhu family. Now Zhu Wanhong has malicious intentions towards the palace. Then Zhu Hao cannot stay in the palace.
Zhu Youqian frowned and thought deeply, obviously moved by Zhu Chen's words.
Jinyiwei wanted to do something against Prince Xing's palace, and it was unjustifiable to leave Zhu Hao with his son and daughter at this time.
It is impossible to kill Zhu Hao. Not to mention Zhu Hao's kindness to Prince Xing's palace. Even if he is not kind, Zhu Youqi is not killing innocent people indiscriminately. In fact, driving Zhu Hao away is just a matter of words.
But he always had concerns.
Zhu Youqian looked at Tang Yin: "Mr. Tang, what do you think of this?"
Tang Yindao: "His Royal Highness, Prince Xing, to be honest, it was actually Zhu Hao who suggested that after his uncle returned to Anlu, he did not return home immediately to reunite with his wife and children, but chose to stay in the city. His whereabouts are very suspicious. I'm sorry. It is speculated that Jin Yiwei may have done something evil, and Zhu Hao... has no intention of helping the family."
Tang Yin was respected by Zhu You, so he couldn't say that Zhu Hao reminded him of everything. He wanted to keep Zhu Hao in the palace. He could only say that he discovered the clues from Zhu Hao's story.
Lu Song said hurriedly: "I had to ask the young master of the Zhu family for advice before I took the humble position."
It was reasonable and reasonable for Tang Yin to intercede for Zhu Hao. After all, he was his student and knew what kind of treatment Zhu Hao would receive after returning to the family. Furthermore, Zhu Hao was extremely kind to Tang Yin for escaping from Nanchang and entering the palace of Prince Xing.
Lu Song spoke for Zhu Hao, but he did so out of necessity.
I kindly remind you of Lu Song's meritorious service. King Xing here said that he wanted to drive me away, but you didn't even show your love to me. What's this other than burning a bridge by crossing a river?
Before I return to the Zhu family to live a miserable life, should I first expose your identity as a spy in the palace and kill you?
The scene was quiet.
Not to mention Zhu Yougao, even Zhang Zuo and Zhu Chen did not expect that Tang Yin and Lu Song, who had an early insight into the strange behavior of Jin Yiwei, would actually intercede for Zhu Hao at the same time.
"Zhu Hao..."
Zhu Youyi didn't know how to evaluate it.
It's not just support. After all, Tang Yin and Lu Song also said that they knew what was going to happen because they were reminded by Zhu Hao. Although Zhu Hao just said a few words with his lips slapping and did not do anything practical, his contribution should still be remembered. One serving.
Zhang Zuo also chose to stand in line at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yuan Changshi said before he left that Zhu Hao is a descendant of Zhongliang. He knows benevolence, justice and etiquette at a young age. He once saved people in a fire... let him return at this time." Zhu family, although it may only be temporary, but maybe they can alert the snake and let the Jin Yiwei notice it?"
First, he said that Zhu Hao was loyal and loyal, and then he reasoned, showing that he could not scare off the enemy. Zhang Zuo's way of speaking deeply impressed Yuan Zonggao.
Zhu Youyi nodded: "That makes sense. Zhu Hao has done nothing wrong. He has suffered on behalf of his son before. I can't doubt him. Let's do this. Don't tell Zhu Hao about this matter for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble for him. The psychological burden, and the other thing is...don't let him leave the palace recently..."
Zhang Zuo smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
Tang Yinque said: "Zhu Hao returns home almost every day after the New Year. It is not appropriate to change his schedule at this time, also to avoid being noticed by evil spirits."
"Um."
Zhu Youqi kept Zhu Hao in the palace for protection, and was not worried that the Jin Yiwei would use Zhu Hao to do anything detrimental to the palace.
Zhu Youqian made the final decision: "The royal palace has strengthened its security, tightened internally and relaxed externally. All the manpower that can be mobilized from various places have been transferred back to the city in the past few days, and the palace will impose martial law again... At that time, the palace will strictly prohibit people from entering and exiting at will. The food and melons used in the palace are usually All fruits and vegetables must be strictly screened, and those of unknown origin are not allowed to be brought into the palace."
"Got the order!"
Zhu Chen and Lu Song accepted the order issued by Zhu Youqi on behalf of the Imperial Guards Department.
…
…
Prince Xing's Mansion has officially stepped up its alert.
In accordance with Zhu Youqian's order, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he had to wait until all the guards from the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department distributed throughout Anlu were transferred back before formally sealing off the palace completely. This would take about two days.
During this period, the palace was tight inside and relaxed outside, and it was necessary to pretend to be nonchalant to the outside world.
When Tang Yin came out of the inner courtyard of the palace, Lu Song walked with him. When the two of them walked out of the east gate of the inner courtyard, there were only four guards guarding the place.
Including the guards and patrols everywhere, Tang Yin made a rough estimate and found that there were only thirty or forty people keeping watch at the palace at the moment.
Compared with the vastness of the palace, this number of manpower is indeed too small. No wonder King Xing said that before all the manpower is transferred back, it is not appropriate to alert the enemy.
"Lu Dianzhan, please stay."
Tang Yin called to Lu Song, who was about to go to the outer courtyard to check the defense.
Lu Song asked in confusion: "Why did Mr. Lu ask you to stop your humble position?"
Tang Yin hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he still asked with an embarrassed look on his face: "What is the unusual relationship between you and Zhu Hao? What did he... say to you?"
Although Tang Yin had never been a formal staff officer before, and had not studied military books and strategies in detail, and could only be regarded as a half-baked counselor, his observation and analysis skills were first-class. I think he learned in Nanchang that King Ning had the intention to rebel, so he Pretending to be crazy and running away is a courageous act that is unparalleled.
Before joining the palace as an aide, Tang Yin went to see Lu Song with Zhu Hao. At that time, Lu Song was actually persuaded by Zhu Hao's few words and sent a message to King Xing for them. Later, when he entered the palace, Zhu Hao and Lu Song had an eye-catching relationship. This time Lu Song could have the same insight as Tang Yin to investigate the clues and help Zhu Hao speak...
If he found so many anomalies and didn't expect that there was an unconventional relationship between Lu Song and Zhu Hao, then Tang Yinke would be really stupid.
Lu Song looked at Tang Yin's burning eyes, feeling a little more timid for no reason.
I can hide it from everyone in the palace, but I can't hide Tang Bohu, the palace staff who is admired by Prince Xing and Yuan Changshi and has incomparable wisdom. Could it be that the identity of Lu Song, the master of the palace, will be exposed here?
"This... is actually because Quanzi and Zhu Hao are both the prince's companions, and we have had many exchanges with me. This time it was indeed him who reminded me to pay attention to Zhu Qianhu's movements. Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand..."
Lu Song felt guilty and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
I tried my best to tell the truth as much as possible, and even told Tang Yin that it was actually Zhu Hao who reminded me to investigate, which explains why I wanted to speak for Zhu Hao.
His reasons sound reasonable, but the last sentence, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lu," is actually a bit self-inflicted.
Tang Yin just asked if Zhu Hao had any contact with you and what he had told you. You answered truthfully, even confidently, but said you don't want people to misunderstand?
Is there some misunderstanding between the two of you? You haven’t done anything to harm the palace!
Tang Yin frowned.
He really couldn't understand why Lu Song added that sentence at the end. It sounded weird.
Naturally, Tang Yin could not have imagined that the most secret agent of Jin Yiwei lurking in Prince Xing's Mansion was Lu Song, who was devoted to the interests of the Prince and was highly regarded by Prince Xing. Therefore, even though Tang Yin claimed to have understood the connection between Zhu Hao and Lu Song, he could not figure it out. What's the inside story?
"oh."
Tang Yin was confused. After thinking about it, it seemed that the only explanation was that Zhu Hao had a good personal relationship with the Lu family, and he could see Lu Bing's usual admiration for Zhu Hao.
Is it unusual for Zhu Hao to talk to the parents of his classmates about protecting the palace?
"Lu Dianzhan, go and get busy. It is estimated that the palace will be tense these two days, and we must prevent the craftsmen in the palace from letting the news out."
Tang Yin also lives in the East Courtyard now. He has naturally seen the laxity of the craftsmen and long-term workers in the East Courtyard, and naturally thinks that if he were a Jin Yiwei, he would definitely look for flaws in the palace from these people.
Lu Song didn't expect Tang Yin to let him go so easily, but he was still not sure if Tang Yin had discovered his secret.
"Then Mr. Tang, I will go to my humble position first..."
Lu Song became nervous and forgot that he had always called Tang Yin "Mr. Lu" before. Now he was thinking "Tang Yin is too scary", so naturally he would no longer regard Tang Yin as some bullshit Mr. Lu.
After he walked for a while, he turned around and found that Tang Yin had not followed him. He breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to himself: "It seems that I should discuss a countermeasure with Zhu Hao. Even if I have made contributions to the palace, if Tang Yin informs Prince Xing, If you say that I might be a spy of Jinyiwei, then I will probably be abandoned by the palace, and then my reputation will be ruined... I'd better ask Zhu Hao to help me with the details."
Even though he wanted to go towards the west courtyard, he hesitated. He felt that it would be too annoying to go to Zhu Hao at this time. If Tang Yin knew about it, wouldn't it make him more suspicious?
"No wonder everyone from King Ning to King Xing highly praised Tang Yin. Now that the two chief historians of the palace are not here, and the court has not appointed a new chief historian, it seems that Tang Yin is the best replacement for the chief historian in the eyes of King Xing. From then on From then on, all the plans in the palace may have come from his hands... He has openly asked me about my relationship with Zhu Hao today, and he noticed something unusual in a short time... How dangerous this person is!"
