Chapter 491 Send 3 Letters
Sure enough, within two days, the tit sent back the message:
"Prince Beijing was furious at home, smashing things for two days and stretching his arms.
“The princess wrote three letters on my behalf and sent them out quietly.
"One is for the Zhen family in Jinling, one is for Wang Ziteng of the Southwestern Frontier Army, and the other is for Prince Shen."
The three letters were placed in front of Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng slowly opened the first two letters, and sure enough, they were informing the two families and instigating them to start a rebellion immediately.
The most interesting thing is that Prince Beijing vowed that when the time comes he would be an insider in the capital and open the city gates for them.
"I'm afraid that within three to five days, Prince Beijing's Mansion will become history. How dare he still dream of helping the rebels?"
Wang Xifeng sneered, changed the envelopes for the two letters, and told Shanque: "Send them out for him."
Then he looked at the third letter to King Shen.
The century-long friendship between the four kings and eight dukes meant that when the Beijing Prince's Palace selected a puppet, they would definitely choose the Xiaoyao King, who was born to Concubine Song and was sent to the palace by the Zhen family.
However, Prince Beijing Shui Rong held great power at a young age, and was both arrogant and suspicious.
Therefore, it is not impossible that he was trying to contact King Shen while "assisting" King Xiaoyao.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a long time, but finally opened the letter carefully.
This turned out to be a letter of first surrender!
First time, seeking refuge?!
Wang Xifeng found it unbelievable.
Under such circumstances, is there any value in the Northern King's surrender?
Isn't this tantamount to frame-up and slander?
How stupid would King Shen have to be to accept this offer and actually rescue him! ?
Surprised, Wang Xifeng sealed the envelope again and told Wu Jin:
"You personally deliver the letter to Prince Shen's mansion, then observe Prince Shen's subsequent actions and come back to tell me."
Wu Jin meowed peacefully.
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and warned it: "This is a serious matter. If you mess it up, I will break all the bones in your body all over again!"
Wu Jin instantly turned his ears back and meowed weakly, then picked up the letter and jumped up into the room.
When the people sent by Prince Beijing to deliver the letter arrived near Prince Shen's mansion, they discovered that the letter was missing!
He immediately panicked and turned to the inn two blocks away and asked for a room upstairs.
After closing the doors and windows tightly and taking off all his clothes, the messenger still couldn't find the letter.
I was so scared that I almost fainted.
It would be fine if the letter could not be delivered to Prince Shen’s palace, at most the mission was not completed.
But now the letter is lost!
If it falls into the hands of others and is reported, not only will the emperor kill me as an accomplice, but even the Beijing Palace, where I have served for more than 20 years, will not let me go!
He will definitely be silenced!
The messenger stood by the table for a long time, finally blinked fiercely, gritted his teeth, changed his clothes immediately, and made some false beards to cover himself up.
He went downstairs, without even settling the bill, and ran straight to the city gate, fleeing from Beijing.
The other two messengers were even more careless than him. They did not notice that the letters they were going to deliver were lost and found, and they also left Beijing quickly.
However, what they didn't know was that just when Wang Xifeng suggested through Chen Duo to trick Wang Ziteng out of the southwestern army, Emperor Chongzhao had already done so.
So, at this moment, Wang Ziteng was comparing the two letters from Xue Wangshi and Jia Wangshi.
He hesitated.
If Wang Li could take this opportunity to marry Xue Baoqin, it would be equivalent to getting the property of the second branch of the Xue family, which was a great thing.
But the Southwestern Frontier Army is more important.
He didn't want to give up the military power that he was about to hold, even a little bit.
There are many capable people in the southwestern army, and Wang Ziteng is not the only one in the court who can lead troops.
What if something went wrong after he returned and someone took advantage of him? What would he do?
At this time, the servant who had been serving him since he returned to mourn asked him softly:
"Master, my young aunt said that they have returned to the capital. Doesn't that mean that she can bring her two sisters to the palace to see the Imperial Concubine at any time?"
Wang Ziteng was shocked!
Isn't it? !
"The Imperial Concubine is a thoughtful woman, and she has the master and the mistress by her side, a pair of obedient parents..."
The servant was worried, "Do you think my brother's marriage can be successful?"
Wang Ziteng took a deep breath and immediately stood up: "Please pack my luggage for me. I will go to arrange the military affairs and return to Beijing!"
The servant hurriedly advised: "Even if you reply, you can't reply like this! You still have to write a memorial to His Majesty to ask for permission!"
"If you return to Beijing without permission and are discovered, you will lose your head!"
Wang Ziteng shook his head decisively: "I just need to sneak back and quietly arrange the marriage for Li Ge'er and Qin Jie'er at home, that will be enough.
"I will come back quietly then. No one will know about it and I won't have to hand over the military power!"
The servant tried to persuade him, but Wang Ziteng refused to listen.
Not only did he not listen, Wang Ziteng also asked him to stay: "You guard the house for me.
“I will tell the generals that I am going to meet some barbarian chieftains and will be back in a few days.
"After half a month, you can say I'm back, but I'm sick. Please ask the doctor to make some medicine for me. Wait another half a month.
"I want to come..."
The servant shook his head repeatedly: "It's definitely too late!"
"You figure out a way! Just delay them!" Without thinking carefully, Wang Ziteng hurried to the army to arrange things.
Early the next morning, Wang Ziteng took four trusted guards and quietly left the base.
After galloping for seven days, Pegasus finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Central Plains. Then he ran into a messenger from Prince Beijing's Palace who was delivering a letter to him.
The two groups recognized each other and looked at each other in surprise and suspicion for a long time before they tentatively sat together and talked in low voices.
When the messenger heard the reason for their return to Beijing, he immediately felt dizzy:
"No! No! When I left the capital, the Jia Mansion had been besieged for three or four days. There was no way there could be any happy event!
"Your sister, Mrs. Xue, has just arrived in Beijing. I'm afraid she hasn't heard about the sudden change in the Jia family yet!"
Wang Ziteng was immediately confused: "What happened to the Jia family? A sudden change?"
The messenger told Wang Ziteng everything that happened next.
Wang Ziteng’s eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.
Everyone was so scared that they rushed forward!
After pinching the Ren Zhong point and pricking the fingertips for a long time, they finally woke Wang Ziteng up.
Wang Ziteng grabbed the messenger's hand and said, "You said that the prince was also under house arrest and the palace was surrounded. Then how did you get out? Didn't the emperor have someone monitor the palace?"
The messenger replied, "I am not in the mansion at all... The mansion managed to send the letter. There are three letters in total. Since I am strong, I gave you one.
"There are two more, one is for the Zhen family of Jinling, and the other is for Prince Shen.
“Don’t worry, Lord Wang, just follow our Lord’s letter!
"Our prince has always been good at planning..."
Wang Ziteng smiled bitterly and fell back again.
How can it be? !
Not to mention the cunning Emperor Chongzhao, even his niece, the imperial concubine, who was as cunning as a sieve, would never let Prince Beijing send out these three letters!
