"Why does the emperor think Xu Chengjin did this?" Zhong Zhiling frowned and said, "In terms of status, he is the nephew of the Queen Mother and the cousin of the emperor. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one can do anything to him except the royal family. Did he take a high look? In terms of official rank, he is the first-grade Zhennan General, and he is already an incomparable border official. What else is he dissatisfied with?"
"Of course he is not satisfied," Zhong Zhiheng snorted coldly, "Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, which prince has not had the blood of the Xu family flowing in his body? How many years have the Xu family been able to override the imperial power? Supreme, but now that I have deposed the prince, I am afraid that from now on, the Xu family will be in ruins. How can he be willing to accept it? He is resenting me! He is holding back rebellion! ”
"Then how does the Emperor think we should respond now?" Zhong Zhiling asked slowly, "The Queen Mother's seventieth birthday is coming soon. Does the Emperor think that he should use his discretion..."
"Mother!" Before Zhong Zhiling could finish his words, Zhong Zhiheng was already furious again. When he thought that the Queen Mother might have known about Xu Chengjin's unusual behavior, she never informed him from the beginning to the end. Even the Queen Mother had He hated the possibility of being involved in this matter, "I have known for a long time that the Xu family has always been the biggest in my mother's heart, but I didn't expect that today, she can actually help outsiders create her own son. Anti!"
"What?" Zhong Zhiling looked shocked, "Brother Huang means that the queen mother actually knows about this?"
"The Queen Mother has always had contacts with Southern Xinjiang. I used to turn a blind eye and that's all. Now that the prince has fallen, what kind of splash will they make? I didn't expect it," Zhong Zhiheng said fiercely, " I hunt geese all day long, only to have my eyes pecked by geese!"
"Brother, are you sure that the mother knows about this?" After a long silence, Zhong Zhiling asked in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance, brother, you must be cautious."
"I will not wrong my mother," Zhong Zhiheng said solemnly, while taking a sip of tea, he suddenly looked at Zhong Zhiling, "But why do you need to tell me about this?"
"Brother Imperial, I have been guarding the northwest for thirty-four years. I have experienced countless fierce battles and watched many men of the Zhou Dynasty die on the battlefield. Therefore, I know how precious every inch of land in the country of the Great Zhou is. "Zhong Zhiling said with a serious face. As he spoke, he stood up and knelt down in front of Zhong Zhiheng. He then stretched out his hand to hold Zhong Zhiheng's hand and said every word loudly, "There is not only a gap between the emperor's brother and the minister's brother, but also We all have the same belief, that is, whoever dares to touch the power of our Zhong family will die."
"Yes, no one can touch the power of our Zhong family." Zhong Zhiheng gently patted Zhong Zhiling's hand.
Zhong Zhiling added: "Before I left, my brother had ordered a hundred thousand troops to quietly march south. Now they have set up camp in Qinghai. We only need the emperor's order to attack Huanglong."
"Wait a minute, this time I will uproot the Xu family, and I will give the Queen Mother an explanation."
"Yes, my brother understands."
……
Pingxi Palace.
After having lunch with Zhong Zhiheng in the Imperial Study Room, Zhong Zhiling returned to Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to bring this to you. She said that it contains all the cakes you used to eat." As soon as Zhong Zhiling entered the main hall, the housekeeper rushed to greet him and untied his clothes. Cloak, while pointing to the three large food boxes on the table with a smile, "The Queen Mother said that you have worked hard all the way, and it is very hard for you to go to the palace to pay greetings to the Long Live Lord. There is no need for you to enter the palace to pay tribute today."
"Yes," Zhong Zhiling nodded and opened a food box. As soon as he saw a neat plate of crabmeal cakes inside, he frowned, closed the lid and said to the housekeeper. , "Tell the kitchen to stew a chicken for me."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The butler was so busy that he bowed and left.
After the housekeeper left, Zhong Zhiling opened the food box again, took out a piece of crab cake, and stared at it for a long time. He had not seen such a delicate and compact cake for decades, and he did not even remember himself. It used to be my favorite.
Time is such a ruthless and overbearing thing. It always quietly changes your appearance and preferences. When you look back suddenly, you suddenly realize that the path you thought you had been sticking to has actually been yours for a long time. After taking a fork in the road, there is still a fork in the road from which one cannot go back.
He looked at it for a while, listening to the rapid footsteps outside, and then put the crab cake cake back.
