It all came to an end, and Zhao Xi resumed his previous life of indulgence in politics, hearing but not heeding the affairs of state.

  Although in my heart I am truly unwilling, reality has forced me to be resigned.

  Lü Gong and others have expressed their views, and even said that his brothers Gong Chuo and Gong Bian both think it's good to end this matter once and for all.

  Han Cong also privately told Zhao Xi that his elder brother Han Bian also thought that this matter could only go so far.

  Gao Jingxian was unhappy and couldn't speak out, saying too much would make him think he's being interrogated by the King of Ru'nan in person, causing him to harbor resentment.

  Cao Lin didn't think it was right to let go like this, but his family only allowed him to look at the crown prince and not say anything more.

  These are all their own ironclad followers, and they all think that's just the way it is, what else can be done? That's it.

  Stability has always been the goal pursued by the imperial court, and even the entire country. If foreign tribes do not disturb, I estimate that everyone likes to put away their swords and guns and let their horses graze on Mount Nan!

  Zhao Xi has just added another position, Kaifeng Prefecture Yi. I thought it was to comfort myself, and threw a sweet melon over, but also prepared to plan carefully how to govern Bianliang.

  As a result, Bao Zheng was promoted to Longtu Gezhixue Shi and temporarily took charge of Kaifeng Prefecture.

  This time I understand, being the crown prince is just a title in Kaifeng Prefecture. To put it nicely, as the crown prince, he should assist the emperor in governing the country, not be an official managing one city or region. To put it bluntly, he's just idle and enjoying life.

  Zhao Xi is increasingly eager for his own coronation ceremony as soon as possible.

  "Your Highness, today during the Imperial Guard's wilderness training exercise, we spotted someone who appears to be Zhao Zongyao..."

  Uh...... Although Zhao Xi understood in his heart, his uncle would never really kill his own son.

  Fire can destroy all evidence in this era.

  He thought that Tang Bo would arrange for Zhao Zongyao to flee far away, casually find a mountain nest to change his surname and name, and become a rich man. Unexpectedly... accustomed to the prosperous life of Bianjing City, no one was willing to give up these days of lanterns, wine and green.

  Good, very good!

  "Who discovered? Where?"

  "Your Majesty, both Cao's envoy and ourselves have seen it in Xiangyang..."

  It's possible! This is also bold! Actually dare to arrange it on West Beijing Road.

  Gongyang is 200 miles away from Bianliang, what kind of excuse can I use to go out?

  Zhao Xi really wanted to see Zhao Zongyao in person and let him truly die.

  The Crown Prince is ill, and the imperial physician has gone to diagnose him in the Eastern Palace. He hasn't come out again, saying that the Crown Prince needs day and night care.

  Taoniang hastily entered the palace, disregarding her reputation as a woman, and stayed overnight in the Eastern Palace...

  The eunuchs visited several times, and each time they came out of the East Palace with a bad face, even the Empress Dowager was guarding the East Palace.

  The husbands endured on the first day, still endured on the second day, and by the third day they should no longer be able to endure.

  It concerns the great inheritance of the imperial court, and you gentlemen must be informed about the Crown Prince's physical condition...

  There was no other way, Zhao Xi had to use this method.

  The Empress arrived first and without saying a word, she directly summoned the imperial physician. As soon as the imperial physician entered the East Palace Gate, the Crown Prince was fine...

  The queen knew the truth, and except for disagreeing with Xi'er going personally, she had no objection to letting Zhao Zongyao really die. However, she couldn't withstand Xi'er's pleading...

  As for Guan Jia... whether it was Xi Er going out or Zhao Zong Yang being alive, both made him very unhappy, and his face would be good only if it were strange.

  Whether it's Cao's family or Gao's family, having two war horses is normal. Zhao Xi has practiced for many years after all.

  There were only a few people, all four of them were with Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian. The group of seven set out at night and rushed along the way, arriving in Gongyi early in the morning.

  The training of the Imperial Guard is not only reflected in military literacy, but also has relevant plans for strategy. The training manual of the Imperial Guard written by Zhao Xi is available.

  So, during the exercise, they happened to meet someone who looked like Zhao Zongyao, and Cao Lin had already figured out the location. This also allowed Zhao Xi to save a lot of time when escaping from the imperial city this time.

  Anxiously enduring until night... Zhao Xi didn't know how long the Empress could help him cover up, once his actions were known to the imperial court, he would definitely be severely criticized. At the same time, his originally accumulated good reputation would definitely be completely ruined overnight.

  As for Lao Die, since he reluctantly agreed, it's a must to see this matter through to the end.

  Zhao Xi still attaches great importance to the reputation of the imperial court, so he wants to get things done as soon as possible.

  "How was it? Have you come back?"

  "Your Highness, not yet. Your Highness can rest first, and when that scoundrel returns, I will inform you."

  One night of galloping, a whole day's wait, and still worrying about the risks in the imperial city, it would be strange if Zhao Xi could sleep.

  It wasn't until midnight that they finally waited for that scoundrel Zhao Zongyao to return.

  The yard built on the mountain is inconspicuous in appearance, but it's very large inside, with two or three big halls.

  With a prepared action, these seven people quickly and secretly entered the main house.

  "Zhao Xi..."

  Got it! With just this one word, it's basically confirmed that the person is Zhao Zongyao.

  "You should be dead."

  Maybe others would speak up, but Zhao Zongyao would still put on a superior air. Only Zhao Xi spoke up.

  Although his status in the country is not high, when facing a military general, he is still the young master of the Ruyang Wangfu family, and Zhao Zongyao will not be intimidated... The other party didn't think that being discovered would have any consequences.

  "Zhao Xi! Don't be too presumptuous! This matter has already been settled, and yet you're stirring up more trouble. Do you really think the Wang family has been supporting people for decades for nothing?"

  "Never mind about others for now, I only know you should be a dead man! Tie him up and blindfold his eyes... Verify the death method that I once told you guys."

  At this time, it can only be said that some boastful words are spoken. No matter what Zhao Zongyao says, in the imperial court, no matter how many princes Wang Ye raises, they cannot stir up a big wave. At most, it's just a waste of money for Ming Yi.

  This sentence made Zhao Xi truly feel the helplessness of Qian Mingyi at that time.

  What is called handling calmly, Qian Mingyi is not foolish. If it weren't for the pressure from outside, he would never have made such a childish disposal.

  This is also the reason why Qian Mingyi's lips were trembling in the hall, and it is also the reason for his relaxed mood after being transferred.

  How many years have you been a person? Zhao Xi just wanted to see who would still stand up and be the vanguard for King Runan under current circumstances.

  Zhao Zongyin thought that Zhao Xie would tie him up and take him back, then expose his identity in the imperial court... At that time, no matter whether he was careless or helped by the Scholars' Forest, it should be fine to leave with his life.

  So, they were tied up very cooperatively, and even didn't forget to mock Zhao Xi with a look: Little brat! What can you do after catching us?

  "The crown prince will prick his finger on your hand. If you are rescued before all the blood in your body flows out, this matter will be settled."

  Then, there was no sound in the entire main room, only the sound of his own blood dripping into the copper basin.

  Zhao Zongyong was scared, really scared... He wanted to move, but he was tied up like a wooden stake and couldn't move at all. He wanted to shout, but his mouth was stuffed with a wooden core, deeply lodged in his throat.

  So quietly, only one's own blood drips into the copper basin... Tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock sounds.

  Zhao Zongyong felt suffocated and his chest was tight. He knew that his blood was about to run out.

  This time, I'm probably really going to die.
