Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 330 Breaking Dawn

Although cruel things are common in the royal family, there is still the unbreakable blood relationship.

After learning about Zhao Sheng's recent situation, Zhao Hengzhen suddenly felt a long-lost warmth in his heart, as if the long-lost family affection had quietly returned to him.

Especially when Zhao Hui presented those powerful weapons in front of him, Zhao Hengzhen felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether he should be excited about owning such powerful weapons or feel fear for this unknown power.

"Sixth Brother, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Hengzhen's eyes were deep, and his words showed his concern for Zhao Sheng's attitude.

"No." Zhao Hui blurted out subconsciously, but then he felt that this answer was not appropriate and quickly changed his words: "What happened back then was all caused by Second Brother. Sixth Brother was also implicated by the eldest brother's affairs and is innocent."

"Don't mention the second brother again!" Zhao Hengzhen's eyes widened in anger and his face turned pale. He never thought that Zhao Wei was such a crooked person.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that he did not care enough about Zhao Sheng on a daily basis, which gave Zhao Wei the opportunity to take advantage of him and become so unscrupulous.

The palace, what a bottomless place it is!

It's like a dark abyss that can devour people without leaving any bones.

"Actually..." Zhao Hengzhen took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said slowly, "I've been secretly investigating Lao Liu recently. He has far more weapons than these. If I were to confront him head-on, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to win."

When Zhao Hui heard this, he couldn't help but recall the time when he went to Dingzhou and rented Weizhou, and Zhao Sheng never showed up in person.

Now that he can meet me so openly, I think he has already possessed strength that cannot be underestimated.

But perhaps he just disdains to fight for power and profit.

"Father, what are your plans?" Zhao Hui asked cautiously, feeling uneasy.

"Old Six is ​​currently leasing your Weizhou. I suspect he won't consider Dingzhou and Weizhou his sphere of influence. He must have a backup plan, perhaps expanding northward."

Zhao Hengzhen looked deep and spoke meaningfully.

"Father, do you intend to keep Sixth Brother?"

"Don't you also hope that he can assist you?"

"I didn't know the reason at first, but now everything is entirely up to my father."

At this critical moment, Zhao Hui knew very well that he must not go against Zhao Hengzhen's wishes.

When they came back, the two brothers had a deep talk. One of them asked Zhao Hui to fight for the throne with all his strength, on the condition that he be rewarded with the two places of Weizhou.

Dingzhou has always been the territory that the Li family has been eyeing, and it is also the only fiefdom controlled by Li Shuya.

Perhaps the court will take it back in the future.

But the Li family will never give up easily.

Mr. Zhao didn't want to conflict with anyone in this regard.

Zhao Hengzhen was very satisfied to see that Zhao Hui was so sensible.

"Hui'er, you have this relationship with the Sixth Prince. He will definitely become your strong supporter in the future. The Seventh and Eighth Princes have limited abilities. You just need to be good at guiding them and let them be free and easy princes. Then your future throne will be as stable as Mount Tai."

The emperor simply ignored Zhao Heng's methods and the only threat in his eyes was Zhao Hong.

Actually he was wrong.

This assassination attempt is enough to prove that Zhao Heng is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be.

The interrogation by the Ministry of Justice progressed quickly and the results came out soon.

After all, the people of the Salt Gang are not those brave warriors who are ready to die.

Some people finally couldn't bear the harsh torture and revealed their true identities.

Before Zhao Hui even had time to leave the imperial study, the case file had already been submitted.

"How could it be someone from the Salt Gang?"

Zhao Hengzhen's face was filled with shock and disbelief. The Binhai salt gang actually traveled all the way to the capital and dared to assassinate a prince.

"Hui'er, have you ever offended anyone from the Salt Gang in Yandi?"

"Father, Yanzhou's salt industry has always been prosperous, even generating a substantial surplus. The local salt gangs may experience minor frictions over territory, but this will never threaten Yanzhou's stability, and we have never interfered in their internal affairs."

"Oh? So, these people aren't from your Yandi Salt Gang, but are from Binhai? Binhai?"

At this moment, Zhao Hengzhen suddenly remembered that Binhai belonged to Chuzhou, and the salt gang in Chuzhou had been wiped out by the water transport gang long ago.

So, the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang must have formed a deep hatred, but why is this...

"Wu Wei." Zhao Hengzhang shouted loudly towards the gate.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Wu Wei pretended to be standing far away, ran over in a hurry, and pretended to be out of breath.

"Let Xu Hu investigate what exactly is going on with the Binhai Salt Gang? Why are there so many of them suddenly appearing in the capital?"

"Yes, as you command."

When Wu Wei was at the door, he had already heard the conversation inside and naturally knew why the emperor wanted to investigate the Salt Gang.

"Hui'er, what do you think about this matter?"

As Zhao Hengzhen spoke, he handed the case file to Zhao Hui who was sitting at the desk.

Zhao Hui took the case file from the emperor, glanced at it three lines at a time, and quickly glanced at it before putting it down and saying:

"The Binzhou Salt Gang wouldn't show up in the capital for no reason, much less assassinate my son without a reason. This might be Old Five's doing!"

Hearing Zhao Hui's words, the emperor was shocked and thought to himself, "How could Zhao Heng be so bold? Could it be that Wei Rong is behind this?"

However, due to insufficient evidence, it is not advisable to rashly express one's own speculation.

"Hui'er, Lao Wu shouldn't be so bold. There must be something fishy going on. Let's wait until Xu Hu investigates thoroughly before we discuss it."

"Your son will obey the order of the emperor."

There is no point in saying more at this moment, we can only wait patiently for the results.

Zhao Hui could only respond in this way.

……

Expressways not only speed up transportation.

The speed of transmitting information is also quite fast.

Zhao Shengren was in Luancheng and also learned the news of Zhao Hui's assassination.

Moreover, he also learned that Zhao Hong was testing weapons around the capital.

"It seems that it will be very difficult for the third brother to ascend the throne!"

The intelligence sent was burning in the brazier, and Zhao Sheng muttered to himself.

After a while, Zhao Sheng called Zhao Yongsheng over.

"Yongsheng, if the Prince of Yan is not able to ascend the throne, the future emperor will likely be hostile to us in Dingzhou. Although we are not afraid, the people will inevitably suffer the ravages of war. How do you think we should respond?"

After understanding the whole story, Zhao Yongsheng mustered up the courage to say, "The Prince of Yan was assassinated, and at such a critical moment. This shows that someone doesn't want him to succeed. We should protect him."

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. I plan to send a special operations battalion there to participate in the battle for the throne if necessary."

Zhao Sheng was no longer merciful at this time. For his own sake and for the sake of the people in his fiefdom, he felt that he had to take action.

"Tell me, who would be the most suitable person to send?" asked Zhao Sheng.

"The special forces can only be drawn from the 1st Special Division, otherwise we won't be able to find suitable people for temporary training." Zhao Yongsheng said.

Zhao Sheng thought for a while, then made up his mind and said, "Then send Zhu Biao, the commander of the Special Agent Company of the First Special Division, with a battalion of troops, to the capital to assist the Prince of Yan."

"I think it's feasible." Zhao Yongsheng nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Before leaving, Zhao Sheng wrote a letter to Zhao Hui, asking for his opinion.

Soon, Zhao Hui agreed to Zhao Sheng's suggestion and said that he would welcome Zhu Biao's special operations battalion at that time, and he would bear all the expenses such as food and accommodation.

After receiving the letter.

Zhao Sheng informed Chen Qian and asked Zhu Biao to get ready and go to the Princess's Mansion to accept the new task.

Before Zhu Biao arrived in the capital, no fourth person knew the specific mission of their trip.
