Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 498 Lend Your Hand
Heiying immediately poured a bowl of tea from the round table, which felt a little cold to the touch, but he couldn't help it at this time, because Su Yizhao kept calling for water.

Seeing Su Yizhao twisted in sleep, he felt a little helpless, so he could only step forward to support him.

"Drink water!" Su Yizhao fell into a drowsy sleep with a splitting headache.

Suddenly a cold porcelain bowl came to her mouth, and she swallowed it in one gulp.

Zong Zeming's hand was grabbed by Su Yizhao, seeing her drinking tea with his hand, his heart beat like a drum.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Su Yizhao also woke up a bit.

Opening his eyes, he looked into the room, it was pitch black, and there was a shadow standing in front of the bed.Su Yizhao was startled, he was mostly sober this time.

"Who?" She didn't care too much, and immediately took out Ye Mingzhu.

"It's me!" Zong Zeming immediately tore off the black veil from his face, fearing to scare Su Yizhao.

The room suddenly became brighter, and with the help of the faint light, Su Yizhao realized that he was an acquaintance.

After she breathed a sigh of relief, she said angrily, "Don't you know that people are scary, scary to death? It's midnight, why are you standing beside my bed?"

Su Yizhao patted her chest, she was almost scared to death just now.

Sweat broke out on the forehead, Su Yizhao wiped it with his sleeve.

After not hearing Zong Zeming's words for a long time, Su Yizhao looked at him strangely, but unexpectedly found that Zong Zeming was staring at him straightly.

She looked down and found that her fur was a little loose, exposing some skin on her chest.

Su Yizhao immediately covered his front, covered the quilt, and scolded: "What are you looking at?"

She must untie her chest when she sleeps at night, so Yuerong and the others are never allowed to enter her bedroom at night.

Zong Zeming's face turned red immediately, and he felt that his face was so hot that it was about to smoke.

He was dazed, "I, I"

Su Yizhao saw that he hesitated for a long time without saying anything, so he snorted angrily.

"Dengtuzi!" Su Yizhao snorted coldly.

Zong Zeming blushed even more immediately, and stammered: "No, I didn't intend to see it, you didn't dress yourself well."

"Why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?" Su Yizhao still had a headache at the moment, so he leaned on the pillow.

His palm was a little sweaty, Zong Zeming wiped his palm on his body.

He recalled it, but for a moment he didn't remember his purpose.

"Oh! I just went to the study to look for you. You're not here. I came to see you. I thought you were unwell."

Zong Zeming touched Su Yizhao's cheek just now, just to see if Su Yizhao had a fever.

After all, Su Yizhao's routine has always been very regular, and he would not go to bed so early without special circumstances.

During this time, I was usually either reading a book or reading a dossier.

"The fifth prince is looking for you today?" Zong Zeming remembered his purpose for coming here.

"En!" Su Yizhao hummed lightly.

Zong Zeming suddenly handed over a porcelain bottle, "This is the ball for sobering up, I keep it with me all the time as a spare."

Because he looks like a bohemian to the outside world, he often drinks alcohol, and hangover pills are a must.

Su Yizhao also felt a little pain again, which was a reaction after a hangover.

It seems that I haven't slept for long, Zong Zeming usually comes at the right time.

After pouring out the pills and eating one, Su Yizhao asked lazily, "Do you know why the Third Prince is looking for me?"

"Probably for military purposes."

"Oh? How do you say it?" When it came to armaments, Su Yizhao became energetic.

"Some people are shoddy, and there are some problems with the armaments sent to the border gates and various guards. Especially the border gates, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, are even more rampant."

"What did you find?" Su Yizhao asked while putting away the Ye Mingzhu. There was light in the room, so he was afraid of being seen.

Only then did Zong Zeming remember that Ye Mingzhu suddenly appeared just now, could it be that she was hidden under the blanket?
Not paying attention to this, Zong Zeming continued: "I told you before that I have a living at the border. Recently, there was a message from there that someone traded iron and even weapons with outside the customs. Although all the marks have been erased , but the material and forging process are very similar to the official ones."

"It has already flowed out?"

Su Yizhao was a little surprised. At first, she was just guessing that the person behind it might want to plot rebellion, but now it seems that the other party not only wants to plot rebellion, but also is short of money.

"It's just that there is very little outflow, and it is generally used by the royal family, but it can also be seen that this is driven by huge profits. Once the sweetness is tasted, it will be out of control.

If the weapon is melted and then forged into iron or other things, even if the difference in forging can be seen, it is groundless. "

There has always been a shortage of ironware outside the customs, and this dynasty has always restricted the opening of mutual markets with outside the customs, which is the reason.

With iron, they forge weapons.Especially in the vassal state, their people are all martial arts, how can we supply iron to them?
"Then why did the Fifth Prince seek me? Could it be that he wanted to expose the actions of those people? As a prince, he just sent someone to investigate."

Su Yizhao originally suspected the fifth prince, if he was looking for him to find out who was behind the scenes, then it should not be him.

"Perhaps it's too deep to hide. If you use your hands to eliminate your opponent, you don't need him to use his strength, let alone be a villain. How good would it be to be innocent? Those who are good and powerful use their strength to fight their strength and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

Zong Zeming snorted coldly, but it's not certain who will win in the end!

"You mean he wants to use me to eliminate dissidents?" Su Yizhao was not angry at all.

"In this case, I will also use him for my own benefit."

Now that two princes have been eliminated, it's up to the next three.

The third prince must have seen some signs, and recently kept a low profile.The fourth prince was as quiet as always, seemingly mediocre, but in fact he was not touched by anyone.

The five princes, who seemed to be the most intelligent at first, actually started to hibernate.

It can be seen that everyone is guessing the emperor's mind and dare not act rashly for the time being.

"This matter will definitely alarm the emperor, and it depends on how it will be apportioned to the emperor in the end."

Zong Zeming sighed with emotion, if the emperor is not ignorant, he should immediately establish the crown prince.

However, since the prince was abolished, the emperor never mentioned this matter.Even if a courtier mentioned it in the early court, and the group of courtiers presented it, the emperor would refuse it because the time had not come.

Only by setting up a prince and driving the princes back to the fief can the court be stabilized.

"Do you think that the emperor's attitude is very strange?"

Su Yizhao remembered that the emperor's body was not as good as before. He used to have morning court every day, but now it was changed to once every three days, and sometimes the discomfort had to be cancelled. In such a situation, did he still not establish a prince?

Teaching the prince to manage the army and supervise the country and share the government affairs is the most important thing at present.

"Actually, it's also understandable. People are like this. When the oil is about to run out, the power, status and gold and silver wealth you have gained will be far away from you. If you don't bring these things with you in life or death, you will have them." Are you panicking?" Zong Zeming shook his head.

Su Yizhao also felt that it made sense, but she always felt that there were other reasons.
