Chapter 108

But Zhao Pengfei narrowly escaped from death, escaped from the city lord's mansion without looking back, rode his horse and galloped for a distance, then stopped suddenly, touched his chest that was still hurting: "Shi Chengsong almost killed me just now! Those who conspire against tyranny are worth following! This Great Xia Kingdom is about to enter a chaotic world, so we must have a good future for ourselves!

Anyang? ! "

Zhao Pengfei looked in the direction of Anyang in the northeast, and suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision! Before entering Luliang County, Zhao Pengfei suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards Anyang! For the last part of the road, even gave up the horses, walked through the hundred miles of mountains and forests, and entered Anyang in the middle of the night.

Coincidentally, it was Yang Yishan who guarded the city gate that night. "who!"

"Zhao Pengfei, I'm..." Zhao Pengfei said, telling the truth about his situation, and even took out the letter he was going to send to Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Lvliang County.

Yang Yishan didn't dare to open the letter for verification, but immediately contacted the upper-ranking officer, who woke up Beichen Yuqing overnight; after seeing Zhao Pengfei, Beichen Yuqing woke up Xu Ren and Yan Ze'an; wake.

In the middle of the night, Anyang Mansion was brightly lit, and everyone watched Xia Qingqing, a maid, open the envelope and circulate it among each other.

Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, never dreamed that his loyal subordinates would actually send the secret letter to Anyang.

After reading the letter, Xu Ren smiled, "You can't underestimate others. This Shi Chengsong actually wants to join Zhao Guoshan in joining the second prince, who is now the prince, in exchange for the prince's support."

Yan Ze'an sneered, "Your Majesty bestowed the Young Master the Governor of the East, and we have the right to manage the counties in the East. The second prince is only the prince after all, and he has no name to intervene in this matter!"

Beichen Yuqing suddenly asked: "What if the crown prince intervenes in this matter?

In my opinion, if Zhongshan County and Luliang County really expressed their support to the prince, the current prince is likely to accept it. After all, the current crown prince is from a relatively humble background. His mother, Yue Zhaohua, is only a descendant of a businessman, and Yue Zhaohua herself is only a "beauty", and her status is even lower than that of queens and noble concubines.

In contrast, the eldest prince's mother, that is, the mother of His Royal Highness the Princess, is the empress; the empress herself is the daughter of the Northwest Governor, with a noble status.

Needless to say, the third prince's mother, Wang Chuchu, is the emperor's favorite noble concubine, and she is also the daughter of Wang Chuan, Minister of Rites, with the same noble status.

Moreover, both the eldest prince and the third prince had support behind them; only the second prince was alone. If two counties surrendered at this time, even if it was fake, the second prince, who is now the crown prince, would most likely agree! "

Xu Ren shook his feather fan lightly, "If the crown prince really wants to take over this matter, then we will show our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Hehe..."

"That's right, if that's the case, we will have to uphold His Majesty's majesty!" Yan Ze'an said more beautifully.

Standing below, Zhang Pengfei wanted to plug his ears. What kind of person is this? In comparison, Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, who is irritable and prone to murder, looks more like a reckless man!

Finally, everyone noticed zhang qingyang who was restless below. It was Xia Qingqing who asked, "Zhang Pengfei, do you have any relatives in Zhongshan County?"

"No. I'm an orphan."

"So... let's send Zhang Pengfei to rest."

When zhang qingqing went down, Xia Qingqing and the others continued their discussion. "If Shi Chengsong finds out about Zhang Pengfei, will he cancel the plan?"

Xu Ren denied it very simply: "No! I think this will even speed up their actions. They must seize the contact with the prince before we take any action. Let's just wait and see.

But prevent Shi Chengsong and Zhao Guoshan from contacting Cai Guo! These two people are going to jump over the wall in a hurry! "

The next day, Yan Ze'an sat in his study and dealt with things. There were so many things in Anyang that the Prime Minister was too busy for a while. The main reason is that Anyang is developing too fast and there are so many new things that officials can't keep up.

In the afternoon of the same day, Song Xing actually went back and forth, sending several letters from Xia Qingqing, Xu Ren, Fang Shijing, Tang Rong from the research department, and finally Yan Ze'an.

Song Xing sent the letter to Yan Ze'an at the end, but carefully reminded him: "Mr. Yan, when the young master wrote this letter, he didn't seem very happy."

"Oh?" Yan Ze'an opened the letter and frowned. This time, Li Xian's words were more serious, and he clearly told Yan Ze'an that the wharf and iron-hulled ship project must not be stopped! Even if it delays other work, it cannot delay the research and production of iron-hulled ships! It is already the beginning of May, and Li Xian ordered that the first iron-hulled boat must be seen in August!

This letter made Yan Ze'an very sad. There are two reasons. First, it disrupts Yan Ze'an's work arrangement; second, it makes Yan Ze'an feel a little distrusted!

But thinking of Song Xing's reminder, Yan Ze'an thought about it, and finally found Xu Ren; Xu Ren almost accompanied Li Xian all the way, and he definitely understood Li Xian the most.

As a result, after Xu Ren saw the letter, he actually smiled: "I really expected it!"

Yan Ze'an is a smart person, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, with a slightly angry face: "Mr. Xu, you knew that this would make Li Xian object, why didn't you make a suggestion?"

Xu Ren rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "To be honest, I can't judge some of the young master's thoughts, so this time I also want to use the prime minister's hand to test how much the young master attaches importance to the iron-hulled ship project.

Come, let me tell you, the young master once said such a sentence to me. It seems that it is difficult to achieve 20% commercial net profit on land, but it can easily reach 200% on the ocean.

For the profit of the sea, the young master made a lot of deals with Dragon Palace, and also gave up a lot of profits. This is the case..."

This conversation, the two have been talking until late at night.

On that night, Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, and Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Luliang County, met in person and confirmed Zhang qingyang's betrayal.

Zhao Guoshan sneered, "You have so many talents in Zhongshan County, the messenger flew away halfway! What should we do now? I think Anyang has already made preparations!"

Shi Chengsong snorted coldly, "Don't say these things are useless! Now that the strategy is wrong, what should we do? My idea is to contact the prince immediately, and we must reach a cooperation with the prince before Anyang is ready."

Zhao Guoshan stopped being sarcastic, and began to think seriously; people are forced out, and so is Zhao Guoshan. Faced with such a situation, Zhao Guoshan suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Of course the crown prince wants to contact, but the current crown prince is unreliable. I think it might be better in the north. I heard that the envoy from the north has been to you first!"
