Chapter 110 Breaking the game (3)

After a moment, he said to the guards beside him: "Cha Cha that woman."

"Isn't the person from the General's Mansion?" Jinyi was stunned: "Would... who would do good deeds and leave someone else's name?" Moreover, the food in the city is scarce now, and a bowl of porridge a day is nothing in the past, but now it is not an ordinary work.

Xiao Shao didn't say anything, but Jiang Ruan's unintentional smile appeared in front of him. She bought all the grains in Beijing more than a month ago for this day? He felt that this matter was inseparable from Jiang Ruan, but the rain had just rained a few days ago. How did she know that there would be a flood?

General's Mansion

Zhao Guang sat in the study. Although he was in his sixties, he still looked energetic and had square facial features. He looked like a military general who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

His three sons stood in front of Zhao Guang, all of whom were very serious.

"The county prince gave me a rumor yesterday," Zhao Guang said: "Your Highness is ready to start dealing with the Zhao family."

Zhao Yuanfeng, the third young master of the Zhao family, was very angry and said, "Dad, we are still afraid that he will not succeed. We are not afraid of being skewed. If you have anything, just let the horse come over. The Zhao family is not something that he can shake by just a prince."

"Shut up." Zhao Guang said angrily: "The county prince said this, but it's a tricky thing. Get out of here and don't cause trouble for you!"

"Third brother," Zhao Yuan, the second young master Zhao Yuan, was fair and handsome all his life, and he had a certain appearance as a Confucian general. He said: "You don't know who Xuan Li is. In the past few years, the court was not from his side, so how much was it in his hands? He would not use ordinary open and upright methods."

Zhao Yuanjia, the eldest son of Zhao, sighed: "The second brother is right, but why did the eighth prince suddenly want to deal with the Zhao family? The fifth prince has not yet been cleared. What we support is His Royal Highness, how could he take action rashly?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to make a big fight." Zhao Guang's eyes were deep: "Your Majesty has protected the prince for so many years, and with the eighth prince's intelligence, I'm afraid he can already see that. He wants to drag the Zhao family into the water."

"What should we do?" Zhao Yuanfeng came up unwillingly: "Let him do this?"

"The county prince would rather die than reveal a little bit," Zhao Guang sighed, "I'm afraid it's a big deal." He changed his tone: "Now there are more and more refugees in the capital, and the floods cannot be stopped for a while. Your Majesty sent the Eighth Prince and the Li family to manage the reservoir. I always feel that it's not that simple."

Zhao Guang had won numerous battles when he was young, and had a natural sensitivity to danger, which was the intuition of a soldier.

Zhao Yuanjia pondered: "Yi'er has also said this in the past few days. The city's garrison army has more than twice as many, and the capital is afraid that the sky will change."

As he was talking, the servant suddenly ran in from outside and said, "Master, something happened!"

Zhao Guang frowned: "What's the matter?"

The servant was also clever and said clearly in a few words: "Someone is serving porridge in the city, a bowl a day, but under the banner of our general's mansion."

"What?" Zhao Guang stood up from his seat with a "rubbing": "This is serious?"

Zhao Yuanfeng said: "No, right? Dad, this is the Eighth Prince's idea? Is his brain broken?"

Zhao Guang frowned and said, "Can you know that person?"

The servant shook his head: "The people in the mansion have gone to see it, but they don't know them. But they didn't do anything else, they just gave porridge."

"Dad, why don't I go and have a look?" Zhao Yuanjia asked softly.

"No," Zhao Guang waved his hand: "This is strange, wait a few more days to see."

What is certain is that the person who gave the porridge is definitely not their General's Mansion. What does the other party want to do under the banner of the General's Mansion? Is it the person from Xuan Li or someone else? If it is Xuan Li, would it be a backup plan? If it is someone else, who can afford so much food at the moment, what is the origin and what do you want to do?

In any case, you cannot act rashly.

General Zhao released food and porridge and spread it all over the capital at the same time at the speed of the wind. For a moment, the streets and alleys were talking about this, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion naturally received this news.

Xuan Li broke the porcelain cup in his hand with a "pop". Although he still had a gentle smile on his face, he looked carefully and saw that the muscles at the corners of his mouth were slightly sucking, obviously he was very angry.

"What a Zhao Guang!" he said coldly.

The aide comes to you: "Your Highness, how could the news be leaked? Could it be that there is a traitor in the mansion?"

Xuan Li sneered: "What else can be done? Zhao Guang actually kept this move, which really opened my eyes!" He originally wanted to give Zhao Guang a message to take out the food from the mansion to provide disaster relief, and his people would follow him to help. At this moment, the treasury was deficient and the emperor was anxious, so he would naturally agree. The Zhao family weakened its financial resources and would naturally be able to deal with it in the future. And when he proposed this method, he could win the emperor's favor, and the voices in the court and the people would also increase a lot.

Now Zhao Guang has taken the initiative to offer porridge. Although the financial resources of the Zhao family will be as weak as he planned, the significance to him is very different! Zhao Guang's proactive and tactful porridge not only won the praise of the emperor, but also established greater prestige in the people. On the surface, the power has been weakened, but in fact it has not been weakened at all, but has been strengthened a lot. But there is no chance for him to intervene in this matter, and he just took the time to take the time. It's a pity that this great opportunity!

"How could Zhao Guang think of taking the initiative to provide disaster relief?" said the aide: "He has always had a bad temper and tough temper. The generations of wealth accumulated by the Zhao family have lost so much. How can he be cruel?" It takes a lot of courage to donate all the money he had saved for several generations.

"He is very courageous." Xuan Li said, "but he is even more insecure." Even the way to retreat to advance was thought out. The Zhao family's several generations of court officials were really not easy to defeat. He never thought that others were giving porridge under the banner of Zhao Guang. After all, food is more expensive than silver now, and no one would have given up such a large sum of money to make wedding clothes for others.

"Your Highness, the traitor in the mansion..." the aide asked hesitantly.

"If you can pass on news to the Zhao family under my nose, it will naturally not be so easy to be caught. Kill them all and replace them with another batch." He said.

"Your Highness," the aide was shocked: "These are all carefully selected people." It takes a lot of time and money to train each one, and it is really not cost-effective to kill them all in this way.

Xuan Li was unmoved, with a cold smile on his face: "I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go."
