(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) Wu Zhi arrived at the living room, and Shi Xiu was drinking tea with a white-faced eunuch. When the eunuch saw Wu Zhi coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. Wu Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and ordered Shi Xiu, "Put the incense table!"

The eunuch stopped him and smiled and said, "It's not necessary. The emperor ordered that he just hand over the secret edict to the prince."

Wu Zhi felt relieved when he heard that Zhao Ji was still able to speak. After all, Lu Cheng’s intelligence network in the capital could not penetrate into the palace. He only knew that Zhao Ji had not attended the morning court for several days, but he didn’t know how serious the condition was.

The eunuch handed over the secret edict to Wu Zhi, and immediately stood up to say goodbye. Wu Zhi sent it to the door of the living room to turn around and unfolded the secret edict. On the yellow silk silk was Zhao Ji's thin pen. Wu Zhi's thoughts were put down again, and he could write and his condition would not be too serious. Zhao Ji only wrote one sentence: "Brother is seriously ill, and the second brother returns to Beijing quickly."

Wu Zhi took the Shui Ling and looked at it several times, and suddenly he was stunned. There was a little blood stain in the lower right corner of the Shui Ling. Although it was wiped cleanly, Wu Zhi's eyes were so vicious that he could tell at a glance that it was blood stains. His heart suddenly became heavy. Is the emperor coughing up blood?

Wu Zhi was not in the mood to have another drink at this time, so he told Shi Xiu to say to the palace maids in the backyard, and just ask Jin Lian and the others to have fun. He then sent someone to call Wu Yong to study to discuss matters.

In the study, Wu Yong turned the secret edict over and over again several times, stared at the blood stain, and sighed: "The Lord is very ill!"

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"What is the prince going to do?" Wu Yong asked.

Wu Zhi sighed. "Return to Beijing tomorrow..."

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment and frowned and said, "Why don't the prince go to war with the northern country now?"

Wu Zhi glanced at Wu Yong for a few seconds: "Do you think it's inappropriate for me to return to Beijing?"

Wu Yong nodded: "Although the prince has taken some advantage in the confrontation with Cai in recent years, it is just the favor of the emperor, but the situation is different now!"

Wu Zhi looked at Wu Yong and said nothing.

"The emperor is seriously ill, and it is naturally a matter of future generations to consider the land. Although the prince and the emperor have a deep relationship, they are not as good as the ancestors of the emperor for generations..."

"Forgive the villain to be bold. The prince has been in charge of Hebei for many years and has a heavy army, and his momentum is at its peak. At this time, the emperor summoned the prince back to Beijing, I am afraid..." Wu Yong did not dare to continue.

"Are you hiding the bow at all?" Wu Zhi smiled.

Wu Yong nodded slightly: "Even if the emperor doesn't have such thoughts, if Cai Jing and others are venturing in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that the prince will lose power when he returns to the capital... In the eyes of Xiaosheng, it would be better to provoke a border dispute immediately. Military affairs are the most serious, and the prince can make an excuse not to return to the capital...",

"Then the emperor is afraid of me, and even the people are tempted by the people. He will not issue an order to deal with me, so he will drag it to the emperor's brother. When the new emperor is young, I can be a minister who is a noble king. The appearance of the new emperor's uncle appears. If the new emperor is disrespectful, he can also create momentum among the people, saying that the new emperor is young, and he is a treacherous and slander. Even tricks such as clearing the king's side can be played with?"

Wu Yong nodded repeatedly, but saw Wu Zhi's face becoming increasingly ugly. Wu Yong sighed without saying a word.

"I will go back to the capital tomorrow. Please take care of the matters in the royal palace." Wu Zhi shook his head. Although he was angry, he had no reason to blame Wu Yong. He was also thinking about himself.

"The prince made this decision, but Xiaosheng dared not say much. Xiaosheng wrote a resignation statement to the prince." Wu Yong said in a sigh.

"Why are you writing your resignation?" Wu Zhi shook his head.

Wu Yong sighed: "Resigning from Hebei military affairs can make the emperor feel at ease..."

Wu Zhi looked at Wu Yong for a while and shook his head gently: "I won't write that resignation statement!"

Wu Yong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't act irritably!"

Wu Zhi shook his head and waved his hand to signal Wu Yong to retreat. Wu Yong didn't dare to say anything again, and sighed and walked out.

Wu Zhi and his group rushed to Bianjing in a dusty manner. After washing up in the palace for a while, they hurried into the palace. Seeing the eunuch leading him to the imperial study room, Wu Zhi was very surprised. How could the emperor's brother still see him in the imperial study room? Could it be that his condition is not serious?

In the imperial study room, Zhao Ji sat upright behind the desk and smiled at Wu Zhi who was walking in. His face was extremely pale, but his complexion was not weak.

"Brother, are you... okay?" Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji's pale face and suddenly felt sad.

"It's okay, I can't die, haha... cough cough..." Zhao Ji suddenly coughed with laughter. The eunuch next to him was very anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to bring the handkerchief and clear water. A eunuch ran out in a panic, thinking that he was going to call the imperial doctor. Zhao Ji coughed a few times and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to retreat. However, Wu Zhi could see clearly that there was a ball of black blood stain on the white handkerchief taken away by the eunuch.

"Emperor Brother..." Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji blankly.

"Sit... "I can't laugh now." Zhao Ji sighed, signaling Wu Zhi to sit down, and waved his hand to signal the eunuch next to him to exit.

"I haven't come out to walk for a month. I was forced to lie on the bed by the imperial doctor every day. Today I still have the blessing of my second brother, so I barely come out to walk..." Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, his face a little dim.

"How could the emperor brother get sick?"

"I don't know, the imperial doctor can't tell me why. I just cough up blood every day... I saw the last emperor a few days ago... I decided to summon you back to Beijing..."

"The emperor's brother will be fine..." Wu Zhi suddenly felt that his words were so pale and powerless, and he lowered his head when he spoke.

"Don't be sad, I think that under my rule, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and I will take back Youyun, and I will be able to fight the north in the near future. Even if I go to see the ancestors of the dynasties now, I will have no regrets..." Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi with a smile. "I won't say this anymore, I will resign and present you to me...",

"Ah?" Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't write it?" Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi with a funny look.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"Second brother, your staff is not very capable in doing things!" Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was in a good mood, Wu Zhi scratched his head and said, "It's not their fault. When he came to Beijing, he suggested asking me to write it. However, I was lazy, so I didn't write it."

"Why don't you write when you are lazy?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised.

"If the emperor wants me to return to Beijing, I will return to Beijing even if I don't write a resignation. If the emperor still wants me to go to Hebei, what's the use of writing a resignation?" Wu Zhi was honest and said.

Zhao Ji wanted to laugh, but was afraid of coughing up blood, so he could only cover his mouth with a handkerchief. Looking at Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, there was a little more relief in his eyes.

"Second brother, you can't go back to Hebei." Zhao Ji was silent for a while and said seriously to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi nodded slightly.

"This is for your own good, and for your second disciples and descendants!" Zhao Ji said.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "My brother is not stupid. I know that the emperor is a caring heart."

"Well, to be honest, my biggest regret is that I can't see my second brother destroying all the four barbarians in the north with my own eyes. Alas... I will recall my second brother..." Zhao Ji was a little guilty.

"Don't worry, the imperial guards in the northwest of Hebei are powerful and destroying the four barbarians is just a blink of an eye..."

Zhao Ji smiled, "These achievements will be given to Huan'er..." Suddenly, he looked up and said to Wu Zhi, "Second brother, you promise me something."

Wu Zhi said: "Prince, please tell me. I will listen to everything from the Emperor."

"Promise me not to interfere in military affairs from now on!" Zhao Ji said as he looked at Wu Zhiyiyu.

Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji and nodded silently.

Zhao Ji smiled: "Second brother, don't forget your promise today in the future."

Wu Zhi nodded. At this time, the study door sounded lightly, and the eunuch led a six or seven-year-old child in. The child was very handsome, and he looked a little similar to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji smiled and waved to the child: "Huan'er is here." The child ran over with a smile and shouted: "Father."

Zhao Ji pointed at Wu Zhi, "Go and kowtow to my uncle."

Wu Zhi stood up in a hurry. In front of him was Zhao Ji's eldest son Zhao Huan. Although he was nominally his uncle, Zhao Huan had long been named the crown prince. He could not bear the bowing ceremony.

Zhao Huan took a few steps and knelt down for Wu Zhi with one stern look. Wu Zhi hurriedly pulled him up and smiled bitterly at Zhao Ji, "Brother, don't kill me."

Zhao Ji ignored Wu Zhi and said to Zhao Huan: "Huan'er, remember to listen to your uncle's orders in the future!"

Zhao Huan pointed his little head hard. He looked at Wu Zhi curiously for a while, and smiled and said, "Uncle, I know you."

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Zhao Huan circled Wu Zhi, lifted Wu Zhi's robe and looked at it, and said, "I thought my uncle had three heads and six arms, and could control those long-haired barbarians. It turned out that my uncle also had two hands and two feet..."

Zhao Ji and Wu Zhi smiled, and Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle is not a good man."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Take him out quickly." The eunuch was also afraid of causing the emperor to vomit blood, so he took Zhao Huan's hand and took him out. Zhao Huan obediently saluted Zhao Ji and Wu Zhi and walked out. Wu Zhi saw that Zhao Huan was smart and clever, and nodded with a smile.

"Oh, the queen is weak and sick, so I'm afraid it's difficult to assist Huan'er!" Zhao Ji sighed as he looked at Zhao Huandi's back.

Zhao Huandi's mother, Empress Wang, is the daughter of Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou. She became Zhao Ji's first wife at the age of fifteen. Wang's dignified, loyal and lustful Zhao Ji was not very interested in her. Although Wang became the queen, the one who was in charge of the harem was Zhao Ji's favorite concubine, Wang. In order to further attack her, the eunuchs in the harem actually spread rumors that the queen's behavior was inappropriate and had a bad reputation. Although there was no evidence in the end, Wang's disaster was caused by this, and his already depressed mood became worse and he could not afford to get sick.

Wu Zhi naturally didn't know these details, but only knew that the current Queen Wang was not very favored, but Zhao Ji's favorite was Concubine Wang and Concubine Zheng. Zhao Ji's concerns were reasonable. After all, if Zhao Ji really died, the queen would be promoted to the Queen Mother and had the authority to assist the young emperor in the administration of the government. If the Queen Mother was sick and sick, or even died early, the royal authority would be challenged, and even some powerful ministers would be involved in control of the government.

"The emperor's brother thinks about this too early!" Wu Zhi said anything at this time, and he could only comfort Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji came out for a while and waved his hand and said, "Sit down and tell me about the experiences of these years..."

The two of them talked about the lanterns. It was not until the imperial doctor and the imperial concubine repeatedly urged him that Zhao Ji said goodbye to Wu Zhi a little tiredly. Wu Zhi left the palace and headed straight to the north city gate. He remembered Zhao Ji's words, "Second brother, I haven't seen Shi Shi for more than a month. Go and see her, and... take good care of her in the future..." Wu Zhi sighed in his heart.

The trees in the courtyard are still as secluded as secluded. The exquisite attic is still as elegant as the mountains, and Li Shishi is still as beautiful as he is, but he has lost a lot of weight and looks very haggard. When he saw Wu Zhi, Li Shishi's eyes turned red and he turned to wipe his tears.

He led Wu Zhi into the attic, and the faint fragrance in the building seemed familiar. This sweet fragrance has been accompanying Wu Zhi during those days of unconsciousness.

"Sister, are you okay..." Wu Zhi sat down and looked at Li Shishi a few times and sighed.

"It's okay. Master... Master is fine?" Li Shishi personally soaked fragrant tea for Wu Zhi and asked Wu Zhi softly.

"It's okay, don't worry, sister." Wu Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Li Shishi sat on the soft couch and nodded silently.

"Tell my sister, I won't go back to Hebei this time. Jinlian and the others have come in a few days. At that time, I will have to prepare more gifts. Jinzhi, you have never seen him." Wu Zhi smiled and suddenly felt something was wrong. Sure enough, Li Shishi's face became even more dim after laughing. Wu Zhi secretly scolded himself for being stupid. He was recalled to Beijing, so why didn't the emperor's brother arrange his funeral?

"Sister, do you want to go out for a walk?" Wu Zhi only knows that women love shopping, which may make the eldest sister happier.

Li Shishi smiled and shook her head: "I won't go."

Wu Zhi stood up and said, "Let's go, how long has it been since I saw the night view of Tokyo? Today I must take my elder sister there! Sister, don't let me move too much!" Zhang Ya danced and clawed to pull Li Shishi.

Li Shishi laughed "punched" and stood up helplessly, gave Wu Zhi a smile and said angrily: "I really can't do anything to you. I've become more and more domineering after becoming the noble king!"

Wu Zhi laughed dryly, walked out first, and ordered the servants to prepare chariots and horses.

Li Shishi's fragrant car was exquisite and exquisite. The light red carriage and the red pony made Wu Zhi shake his head. When Li Shishi got on the carriage lightly and raised his hand to greet Wu Zhi to sit together, Wu Zhi curled his lips to the pony and smiled and said, "Let's forget it, don't get tired of it."

Li Shishi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the official family..." His smile suddenly froze. Seeing that it was not good, Wu Zhi was afraid of making her sad again, so he hurriedly got into the car with a smile, "Okay... let's see how strong my elder sister's BMW is?"

The night view of Tokyo is bright and bright, the Bian River is shining. Wu Zhi and Li Shishi are sitting in the carriage, laughing constantly. Wu Zhi is so tired when talking to someone for the first time. He has to think about every word before saying it, for fear of causing Li Shishi's sadness. So the most talked about is in Hebei, and Li Shishi also listened with relish.
