admiration

Xiao Zhi was so engrossed in his thoughts, he was touched by Mo Yanchi twice before he realized it, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

"What on earth is Dai Yan thinking? After so many years, there were many opportunities to act. Now that we have entered the court, he started to take action." Xiao Zhi was puzzled.

Mo Yanchi shook his head, "I heard that when he was the crown prince, he was moody, cruel and cruel, and harshly criticized the people for no reason, making the people's lives miserable. I think it has something to do with his temperament."

"If such a ruthless person becomes emperor, the common people will rebel even more," Jiang Wan said coldly.

"That's why he couldn't take that step, let's see how he reacts after seeing the content of the imperial decree." Xiao Zhijin said solemnly.

……

There is a refugee resettlement site in the suburbs of Beijing, with a large number of people coming and going, and it is difficult to govern. The local government soldiers occasionally come to control one or two, but because there are too many people and they come from all over the world, they are just going through the motions. Over time, this place has become a mixed mess place.

It's not that big here, but it's crowded with people, so it's unavoidably messy. When the dignitaries in Beijing see it, they want to set it on fire.However, if you search door to door, you will find that the thatched hut in the innermost part of the resettlement site is exceptionally clean, and the people who come in and out are also very generous, obviously not staying here because of fleeing.

Their cost of food and clothing aroused the red eyes of many people, but no one dared to approach them.A few days ago, a bold man broke in in the dark. After hearing a scream, the person who was looking sideways disappeared, and immediately lost his mind.

And the person who lives here is Dai Yan who left from the First Prince's Mansion.

There are many people here, and it is easy to avoid General Wei Ling's pursuit, Dai Yan had no choice but to condescend to this place.

He took the imperial decree written by his subordinates, looked at the content, and sneered: "Isn't Emperor Hongzhi dying? He is so eager to establish a reserve, and he is not afraid that Zhu Qiming will force the palace in a fit of anger."

The subordinate was stunned, and said: "Your Highness knows things like a god, Jiang Zhiwan often goes to Nie Cheng's place these days, and his subordinates checked it, and it seems that he really wants to force the palace."

"What!" Dai Yan slapped the table and stood up, his face with fine lines was full of coldness, he clutched the paper in his hand, and looked at the subordinate, "Continue to investigate and confirm whether it is true."

"Yes." The subordinate replied, got up and left.

Dai Yan sat back, staring at the teacup in a daze, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, he yelled into the air, the words fell, and a black shadow jumped out.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"How much power do you have now?" Dai Yan asked.

The hidden guard replied without thinking, "There are less than 200 people."

In order to protect Dai Yan back then, they lost a lot of manpower, and the original thousand-man battalion was no longer as good as before.Dai Yan sighed helplessly and asked, "What about the people you trained earlier?"

"There are a few who can take care of themselves, but they don't seem to be loyal." This secret guard has been with Dai Yan since he was a child, and he has no second thoughts. His words are still credible.

Dai Yan knew that he didn't have many men left, he didn't want to have so few, he thought for a while and said: "Forget it, go and call them over, I have something to explain."

"Your Highness is going to make a move?" the dark guard asked.

"Ah."

The hidden guard said with some concern: "On the day of the crown prince's inauguration, when hundreds of officials come to court, the security will definitely be stricter than usual. Your Highness should not take such a risk."

"I have my own plan, let's go." Dai Yan said.

The dark guards are usually responsible for protecting their masters, and never participate in political schemes. Even if they know a thing or two, they are not up to the task.He knew it well, seeing that Dai Yan had a plan in mind, he didn't say any more, nodded and left.

The purpose of establishing the crown prince was to consolidate the foundation of the country, but as soon as the imperial decree was promulgated, it was like a dark cloud oppressing the situation, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.Even the people who have no contact with the court affairs are faintly uneasy, always feeling that something is approaching.

Before Mo Yanchi was questioned about his identity, he left the second prince's mansion, and now he is named the crown prince. It would be unreasonable to live in Xiao Zhijin's place again. Emperor Hongzhi also responded when he saw it, and ordered people to take care of it. Welcome Mo Yanchi to go back .

When Mo Yanchi heard Emperor Hongzhi's oral order, he frowned in displeasure, dawdled for a few days, and then reluctantly left.

Fortunately, the two mansions are not far away, Mo Yanchi thought it was impossible, so he climbed over the wall, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't know about it.

Xiao Zhijin originally planned to go there, but the Second Prince's Mansion is not as good as the Zhuangyuan's Mansion, so he didn't argue with Mo Yanchi, he just patted him on the head to make him be careful.

The day happened to be sunny and sunny, after Mo Yanchi finished his lunch, he got up and went back home.

The plaque of the Second Prince's Mansion was still hanging high, and the people in the mansion waited outside early upon receiving the news.

Mo Yichi got out of the carriage, and as soon as he stood firm, he saw Ye Min crying into tears.

Ye Min wiped away his tears, and followed the other servants in a loud voice: "Welcome Your Highness!"

"Get up, Ye Min, come here." Mo Yanchi waved his hand and let Ye Min come forward.

Ye Min walked over with red eyes, half crying and half laughing, and said, "Your Highness, you are finally back."

Ever since Mo Yichi was demoted, Ye Min worried day and night, fearing that something would happen to him, and later learned that Mo Yichi lived in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, so he didn't dare to inquire about it, for fear that he might ruin Mo Yichi's affairs, so he had to stay in In the mansion, I was very anxious.

Hearing that Mo Yanchi was coming back a few days ago, he was so happy that he stayed up all night, cleaned up Mo Yanchi's bedroom overnight, and waited for his master to come back.

It's been a long time since I saw her, but Mo Yanchi has changed a lot. There is no trace of fragility in his eyes. He is as calm as water. He shows his confidence and royal demeanor in every gesture of his hands and feet. He is wearing an ordinary robe, but he is as elegant as jade and full of nobility.

Ye Min looked straight, and then accepted that His Royal Highness has become the Lord of the Eastern Palace.

"What are you looking at? Don't go in yet." Mo Yanchi patted his head and walked in first.

Everything in the Second Prince's Mansion is the same as before, but there are many more people, and the face is very strange, Mo Yanchi glanced at it, and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Ye Min understood his eyes, pretended to support him, and said in a low voice, "In recent months, servants have often had accidents. After His Highness the First Prince found out, he arranged for several people to come over."

"Well, give the list to the king later. Let them do it outside and don't have to wait inside." Mo Yichi's voice was not low, and he didn't shy away from those people at all. On the contrary, he wanted to let them understand that their details are not secrets. If you act rashly, you will bear the consequences.

Ye Min nodded heavily, glared at those people, and said with a silly smile: "Your Highness, you are different from before."

Mo Yanchi asked with interest: "What's different?"

"It feels like you are more like a prince now, and you have even become a prince. The empress must be very pleased to know." Ye Min said seriously.

If there was no one else talking, the servants, who were ignored, greeted Mo Yanchi, and went to their own business, but there were still a few who were not clever, and rushed forward, saying flatteringly: "Your Highness , you haven't returned home for a long time, you are tired, you want to go to rest?"

Mo Yanchi stopped in his tracks, without any smile on his face, and said coldly, "When is it your turn to intervene in the Fuzhong?"

The man lowered his head, not aware of the murderous intent in Mo Yanchi's eyes, raised his hand to brush his hair, and said coquettishly: "I am worried that Your Highness is tired, so you talk too much, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Mo Yanchi had to admit that this person was good-looking, with a small and delicate face, a curvaceous waist, and extremely charming, but when Zhu Qiming installed this person in, he probably didn't expect that he was actually a broken sleeve.

He glanced at Ye Min, Ye Min nodded knowingly, and said angrily: "Bold, Your Highness just finished speaking and won't let you in to serve, now it's your turn to worry about this matter? Come, clap your mouth."

The man was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at Mo Yanchi, only to see that Mo Yanchi's eyes were cold, and he looked at himself as if he was looking at a dead person.Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this servant knows his mistake."

Mo Yanchi ignored her and continued to walk forward, the guards in the mansion got the order and approached the maid step by step.Ye Min only talked about slapping his mouth and didn't mention the sentencing. Once he made a move, there was no reason to stop. This person was afraid that he would be slapped to death.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness..."

The screams got farther and farther away, Mo Yanchi never looked back, those people with evil intentions couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and put away their ready-to-move hearts.

Ye Min poured tea for Mo Yichi with his own hands, laughing until his eyes nearly disappeared.

Mo Yanchi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "But I haven't seen you in a few months, why are you so excited?"

"His Royal Highness has become the prince, and will be the emperor in the future. We will never be bullied again."

Mo Yanchi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, no one can bully us now. In the future, I will let you be the manager and let you do whatever you want. Your Highness will take care of it for you."

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, be careful to let people listen to you." Ye Min said, the smile in his eyes did not diminish at all.He is not a person who attaches great importance to rights and interests, and he is content to follow Mo Yichi and only ask for the safety of the Lord.

Mo Yichi dared to say that to Ye Min. He drank the tea, sighed deeply, and said, "I didn't expect that I would come back one day."

Ye Min managed to regain his composure, because Mo Yanchi was about to cry again, he sniffled, "If His Highness doesn't come back, then this slave will pack up and go to Zhuangyuan Mansion."

"The Zhuangyuan Mansion does not accept crying people."

After Mo Yanchi finished speaking, he felt inexplicably guilty, as if he had cried many times.

"..." Ye Min didn't want to talk, he just wanted to run away from home.

So finally burst into laughter.

Mo Yan's late return to the mansion is not a big deal, it won't cause any disturbances, on the contrary, the East Palace started to be repaired, and Emperor Hongzhi allocated a lot of money to it, the ministers finally recovered, and the second prince was really registered as the crown prince.

Those who remained neutral from the beginning still did not express their views, performed their own duties, and never talked too much.But the eldest prince's party is in danger, especially Zhu Qiming's inaction, as if accepting his fate, which made them even more restless, and secretly began to conspire to seek refuge with Mo Yichi.

Zhu Qiming saw it in his eyes, and silently wrote down those people. Those who defected in danger will not be reused in the future.
