The fourth prince, Yongjin, is not doing well. The matter of being sent to Yong'an Mansion is silent in the court. First, he is not favored and is used to it. Second, the most quarreling among the ministers recently is only the transfer of his officials at the end of the year. Or get promoted or get more benefits.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too busy to touch the ground. Thanks to the help of King Guangze, he really looked like a crown prince.

Hearing that Yong Jin thought about it in Taoyuan, he still told Mr. Qi about the emperor sending him to Anlu Mansion.Mr. Qi didn't express much surprise, which made Yongjin a little confused.

"It's all a matter of time, when are you going to go?"

Just as Yong Jin was about to answer, he was surprised to see Zhu Liu serving in Tingtao Garden.

"Let Zhu Liu go with you too."

"Why is he here?"

Before Mr. Qi could speak, Zhu Liu said loudly, "The young one belongs to Mr. Qi!"

"Didn't I give you to Jia Yun? I still think you followed."

Zhu Liu turned his eyes and saw that Mr. Qi didn't move, so he said happily: "Master just let the younger one go to serve Uncle Jia. Now that Uncle Jia is away, the younger one will naturally come back and continue to serve the master."

Yong Jin thought about it again, and guessed that Mr. Qi must have asked Zhu Liu to see how Jia Yun's character is. Now it seems that he should have passed the test.

"You take Zhu Liu with you, so it's convenient for you to do anything." Mr. Qi said lightly: "What did your father tell you?"

Yong Jin heard that Mr. Qi had guaranteed the ticket, and asked Zhu Liu like this, knowing that he was Mr. Qi's confidant, so he told the truth.

"Hey, it's still today." Mr. Qi sighed deeply.

Yong Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Mr. Qi in surprise, always feeling that something was being kept secret.Mr. Qi didn't care about him, and casually explained a few words, urging him to pack up and go on the road, and when he got there, someone would explain everything to him.

Anlu Mansion is not far from the capital city, with mountains and rivers, it is a good place to retire.The Ministry of War has a plan. There are a total of [-] soldiers in the mansion, of which about [-] old soldiers are recuperating there, and there are only more than [-] young and strong soldiers who can really be used at critical times.

The fourth prince went out in plain clothes, and His Royal Highness specially sent two hundred guards to 'escort' them.

"Fourth brother, please take good care of those old bastards on behalf of the father. This is Shangfang's sword, you have to take it well."

The prince smiled harshly, "Father said that you don't have a title, but you are just a prince. I was worried that the old miscellaneous fish would be disobedient. I told him that although you are only a prince, you are also of royal blood. If they don't listen, you will be let go." You took the sword and chopped them off. It can be regarded as a relief for the father."

Seeing that Yongjin's complexion was not good, the prince said mockingly for the first time: "Don't lose it, it is much more valuable than your identity."

Yong Jin was listening with lowered eyes, but suddenly heard the prince's words so straightforwardly and thought he had heard it wrong.Looking up, he saw murderous intent emerge from the corner of the prince's eyes, and then turned his eyes down again.

"Fourth brother, keep it in mind."

Yongjin got into the carriage, thinking about what to do with so many 'guards' around him for a few days. Although he brought 200 men, there was no complete chance of winning if something happened.

The car was more than 100 miles away from the capital, and during the break time, someone coughed, and Yongjin turned his head to see the guard in the blue military uniform, wasn't it Zhu Liu?There were several young guards behind him. Zhu Liu stretched out his index finger and circled the sky. Well, the manpower is only waiting for the prince to "order troops".

When the carriage reaches more than three hundred miles, it is necessary to change horses, and the road becomes narrower and narrower as it climbs over mountains and mountains.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and Yong Jin galloped through the forest on a handsome horse covered in jet black and dressed in a moon-white robe.The cold wind blows across the face, and the waist is straight, like the trees in this forest. For many years, there is great tenacity. Although there are doubts and wavering, the heart of serving the country and the people has never been shaken.

I was tired from walking, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I sat on the ground like the guards, leaned against the tree and let the moonlight shine on my face when I was tired, and closed my eyes to recharge my energy.

It was not until the fifth day that they arrived at Anlu Mansion.This is the first time that Yong Jin has left the capital to see different customs and customs, and it is still a bit fresh without expressing it on the surface.

Anlu Mansion is located in the inland of Yongqing. It used to be a canal for five provinces. Later, because other state capitals opened up official roads, they gradually became willing to detour from Anlu, and fewer people passed by. The temporary hub also lost its former glory. prosperity.

However, the population is quite large, and people who have been in business for many years are still willing to pass through Anlu Mansion. Compared with other places in Anlu Mansion, it is considered prosperous. .

When Yongjin was still [-] miles away from Anlu Mansion, someone from the front came to report that Zhang Yu, the prefect of Anlu Mansion, had gone to Beijing to take office three days ago, and now there is only Tongzhi Wang Wenling as a civil servant, and the military generals are all in charge of affairs. Yong Chi and other generals greeted him.

He was really shocked when he rode into the barracks.

In the camp that can't be seen at a glance, the barriers are strict, and the drums and horns are beeping at the sound of an order, and the sound of drinking is deafening.The young and strong soldiers held a sharp sword glowing with cold light, with a murderous intent.

How can there be old, weak and disabled soldiers here?

"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for many years by order." Zhou Yongchi, the commander of the Anlu Mansion, was about fifty years old with a beard and a low voice.

"Master Zhou, I have a lot of doubts in my heart, I don't know..."

Zhou Yongzhang laughed, and said very frankly: "The old minister has already told His Highness a lot, hahahaha, I am finally looking forward to your arrival."

"Zhou has a big beard! You are the only one who acts good in front of His Highness! Could it be that the old man has been having fun!" Wang Wen, the Tong Zhi of Anlu Mansion, is a fat man with a height of three feet and a waist circumference of three feet. The stars are looking forward to the moon and waiting for you." After finishing speaking, he gave Zhou Yongzhang a nonchalant look.

When the two talked, they were also secretly looking at the 'unfavorable' fourth prince.

Even though he looks a little tired after traveling day and night, he speaks and behaves very properly, quite royally.Just by looking at it, it looks more like the current Holy Majesty when he was still young, but I don't know if his heart and eyes are as... um... so... dark... dark.

Before Yongjin sat down, Wang Wen and Zhou Yongchi pushed back the others and gave Yongjin another big gift.Yong Jin personally helped him up one by one, and he was a little confused when he saw the eyes of the two veterans looking at him, so there was a trace of concern in his anticipation.

In the end, Wang Wen, who was more eloquent among the three, spoke.

"Your Highness must be confused, why the old sage sent you here, and why is this place different from what you imagined, is the old minister right?"

Yong Jin had heard of the names of the two in his early years, and his father was very close to him before he ascended the throne, so he also received a lot of suspicion.Later, the emperor found a reason to release these two people to Anlu, and they were released for more than ten years.

Because he was punished together with some other veterans of the old ministry, he was sent here only to support them in retirement. What he didn't want to see today was such an exciting scene.

"The old minister said the same thing first, if His Highness has any questions, just ask one by one, how about it?"

Yong Jin already had the answer in his mind, but it was completely different from his imagination, and it was a bit unbelievable.Just like when the father left Beijing, he said to let him manage the old soldiers. In fact, it may...maybe implying not the old and weak soldiers, but... the real veterans!

In this way, it can be understood why the father spent a lot of time secretly deploying military defenses in a place not too far from the capital, and used veteran soldiers to cover up people's eyes and ears.In addition, it is the Shangfang sword in his hand.

This was used by Emperor Gaozu during his personal expedition, and it has been enshrined in the Hall of Mental Cultivation since then. The prince used it once and was ordered by the emperor to immediately behead a remnant of the former dynasty who was hiding in the court.In the following years, no one touched it, and they kept it at a respectful distance.

"Originally, the bearded man Zhou and the old officials were specially arranged here by the Holy Majesty. There are always some secret things in the palace that even the Emperor may not be happy with. Especially in recent years, I have heard that some people in the palace are in collusion with foreign vassals, intending to rebel. "

"Especially in Ping'an Prefecture, I heard that there is quite a lot of commotion! Hmph, even the Zhen and Jia families seem to be involved!" Zhou Yongchi interjected angrily:

"Your Majesty is wise, so naturally you have to prepare some of your own manpower. I heard that you are the most unfavored person today, and my subordinates will know that it must be you!"

It must be you! ?

Yongjin suppressed the waves in his heart, he said that he was not favored, and he really called the second, no one dared to say the first... But: "How do you say this, Mr. Zhou?"

"Could it be that the Fourth Highness still doesn't understand that after being the emperor in this life, he still..."

"Zhou Dabeard, do you still talk like you and me in front of His Royal Highness?"

"The old minister has no other intentions. I just feel wronged for the Holy One." The bearded Zhou said with a bit of gloom:

"The Holy One was not favored when he was the prince. He couldn't even choose the person he married. He was crushed by the empress dowager at that time. Later, brothers killed each other, and even your mother and concubine Wanguifei Killed by the empress dowager!"

Zhou Dazi thought back then and was still angry:

"If the Holy Majesty hadn't made you 'unfavored', would you have survived until the Empress Dowager was gone? Huh, what did she say, she was obsessed with the old ministers, worried that the Holy Majesty would not be able to appease the old ministers or restrain the court! In fact, she wanted to imitate other countries on the sea. , become an emperor on your own! It’s just that your father and emperor stopped him in every possible way, but it’s a pity that you couldn’t keep your mother and concubine in the end.”

Zhou Yongchi's words were too shocking, Yong Jin couldn't believe his ears, "Why is there no ear report?"

"It's all old things, and speaking of it, it evokes the heartache of the current emperor. And that old witch has already been disposed of by your father. I think your mother and concubine were loved by thousands of people, and finally died of illness.

Your royal father really didn't dare to come again, so he could only ignore you.If you say that your father and Concubine Wan were really a match made in heaven at that time, they played harmoniously, which is only enviable.Can he prevent the child whom the woman he loves most cares about the most from growing up? "
