Seiwa

Peking, Yanwang Mansion

The fast horse from Nanjing brought back the news that King Yan would soon return to the feudal domain, and the tense atmosphere in the palace finally eased.

Princess Yan's illness is getting better day by day, and the good doctor of the palace immediately reported it to the son.At that time, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi was listening to the lectures given by Professor Wangfu and Ji Shan. Zhu Gaosui sat aside, seemingly serious, and his thoughts had already gone to nowhere.

For this younger brother, Zhu Gaochi has no good way.Before his departure, the father entrusted him with all the affairs of the palace, regardless of the government affairs, military affairs are not a big problem, only the younger brother's studies gave Zhu Gaochi a headache.

Compared with reading, Zhu Gaosui, like Zhu Gaoxu, prefers to ride a horse and swing a knife. His eyes are bright when he goes to school, but he feels sleepy when he enters the study.Generals Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others under King Yan all praised Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui for being like King Yan.Every time he heard such words, Zhu Gaochi didn't show it on his face, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Art of war, strategy, he also kept in mind.Even the two younger brothers combined couldn't compare to him.If possible, he would also like to follow his father's example and lead the army to conquer the desert, but he just couldn't ride a horse, couldn't wield a knife, and couldn't be liked by his father.

Zhu Gaochi was also in a hurry, trying to reduce his food intake, his face turned pale from hunger, Wangfu Ji Shan jumped up directly, his body and skin were affected by his parents, so what if he was fat and fat?Back then, hungry people were all over the place... so and so, so and so, balabalabala...

Zhu Gaochi didn't shake off a few taels, and was almost fainted by Wangfu Ji Shannian.

Princess Yan also wiped her tears, crying and said: "Son, what's wrong with you? But there is something in my heart, how can I not eat well?"

The father and the two younger brothers looked at him in the wrong way, and they were concerned about whether there was something wrong with his health.

Since then, Zhu Gaochi has never dared to try again.

As a result, the little fat man leaped forward towards the big fat man, and Prince Yan's son developed more and more horizontally.

Zhu Gaochi sighed, since the gods gave him a smart head, why couldn't they give him a good body? Sure enough, everything is perfect?

Professor Wang Fu frowned and looked at Zhu Gaosui who was slipping away and Zhu Gaochi who was absent-minded, and suddenly felt that he had failed.

Forget it, Zhu Gaosui doesn't like reading by nature, just like Gaoyang County King.What happened to the son today?Could it be that my teaching level has regressed?

"Your Majesty." Professor Wang Fu put down the book in his hand, "What I just said, do you have any doubts?"

Zhu Gaochi blushed, unable to express his true thoughts, it was too embarrassing, so he could only prevaricate a few words casually.

Fortunately, everyone in the palace knows that since King Yan entered the capital, many matters in the palace have been placed on the shoulders of the prince, and the professor is not as strict as in the past, just a few words of advice.

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Gaosui turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi a few times, rolled his eyes, and decided to wait for his father to come back, and report today's matter to him.

The same mother and brother are the first son of King Yan, but the relationship between the three brothers Zhu Gaochi is not very good.To be precise, the relationship between Zhu Gaochi and his two younger brothers is not very good, but Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are about the same age, share common hobbies, have a common language, and have played together since childhood.Faintly exclude Zhu Gaochi.

In this regard, Zhu Gaochi could only laugh it off.

Even if the father, queen and concubine didn't say anything, what could he do?It's really not worthwhile to put a big hat on your head if you are not good and don't love your brothers.

But as the brothers got older, it became more and more difficult to maintain their superficial expressions, which became another problem that troubled Zhu Gaochi.

If someone can help him solve these two problems... Zhu Gaochi sighed unconsciously, maybe it's wishful thinking?

The 21-year-old Prince Yan was very melancholy. Professor Wang Fu looked at Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaochi who had slipped away again, shook his head helplessly, and put away his books.Today, the son should have something on his mind, so he can't listen to it, so there is no need to waste time.

Zhu Gaosui was very happy when he didn't need to listen to these things anymore, he got up and left, "I'm going to see my concubine."

The three sons of the king of Yan, Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son, Zhu Gaoxu became the king of Hanyang County, Zhu Gaosui did not catch up, and when it was time to become the county king, Emperor Hongwu was successful and Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne.

The king of Yan made a request for seals, but he didn't respond.Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, was sent to Nanjing in person, but the title was not invited back, but Ge Cheng was influenced by Emperor Jianwen and became the secret agent of King Yan.

The emperor refused to approve it, and no one mentioned it. The court has never granted Zhu Gaosui a title, so he only has the title of the son of Yan Wang.

The king of Yan held his breath and didn't go further. Anyway, I was about to rebel. If the rebellion succeeded, he would directly make his son a prince. If the rebellion failed, what's the use of being a county king.

In this way, Zhu Gaosui, the third son of King Yan, became the No. 1 in the same-age clan without a title.

Zhu Gaochi stopped Zhu Gaosui who was walking out the door, "Third brother, slow down, I will be with you for my brother."

Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was being supported by the eunuch, a trace of impatience flashed in Zhu Gaosui's eyes, and finally stopped by the door.

This move won Wangfu Ji Shan's nod, satirizing etiquette is his job in the Wangfu, and it is his dereliction of duty that the son has been at odds with his two brothers.So far, it seems that his work is quite effective.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui were on their way to the Won Hall together, they met Dianbao who was in charge of the talisman of the palace, and learned that the governor of the palace, Shi Gecheng, and the guard Lu Zhen had taken the badges out of the palace, and they haven't returned yet. Zhu Gaosui didn't hear anything for a while. However, Zhu Gaochi's expression sank.

"Ge Changshi and Commander Lu often go out recently?"

Dian Bao thought for a moment, then replied: "Back to your son, Commander Lu went out of the mansion once five days ago, and Ge Changshi went out more frequently."

"En." Zhu Gaochi nodded, "When Ge Changshi and Commander Lu leave the mansion again, they will immediately send someone to report to Yu Gu. They must not let them know about this matter."

"Yes."

After Zhao Dianbao bowed and saluted and left, Zhu Gaosui slowly tasted the taste.

"Brother thinks these two people are wrong?"

"Brother is just suspicious." Zhu Gaochi smiled honestly, "Aren't you going to see the concubine mother? Let's go quickly."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to say more, Zhu Gaosui did not continue to ask.He knew very well that this elder brother who had to study was very scheming.

How about scheming?He can't mount a horse and swing a knife, and he doesn't look like his father, but he still likes his second brother more.

In the palace, the monk Daoyan had to recite sutras for two hours every day, and he couldn't be shaken.

Since King Yan entered Beijing, Dao Yan was busy with the work of the underground arsenal, and the time for chanting scriptures was changed to midnight.

In order to prevent the sound of making weapons from spreading, Dao Yan sent people to find a large number of chickens, ducks and poultry to keep outside the mansion. Chickens and birds sing every day, making the neighborhood unsafe.

Beiping chief envoy Zhang Bing sent someone to ask, is the Yan Palace planning to engage in aquaculture?If we must set up a farm, can we change the place?The noise is disturbing the people!

The reception staff of King Yan's Mansion brought tea and snacks, and said in a good voice; "Please bear with me, the eminent monk enshrined in the mansion said that this is the will of the Buddha, and it is also to accumulate virtue for the people of the world."

When someone spits out a sip of tea, is running a farm directly related to accumulating virtue for the common people in the world?

"You don't know, do you? These chickens and ducks are not allowed to be slaughtered and cooked, and the eminent monks have to chant sutras for two hours every night..."

The receptionist speaks at a very high level, obviously he has received the true biography of Monk Daoyan.

A few words from the visitor were taken into the ditch, and he completely forgot the purpose of his trip, and instead discussed the profound issues of Buddhism with the reception staff.However, there was no eminent monk like Dao Yan in the chief envoy's department, so he was quickly defeated and sent out of the palace.Until he walked out of the gate of the palace, his head was still dizzy.

When Zhang Bing heard the report, he frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, secretly reported that there was something illegal in Yan Wang's mansion, but he didn't say what it was.Zhang Bing was very depressed. Since he took the risk to report the letter, he should make it clear so that he can be prepared. With such a sentence, can he plead with the court or search the palace as an excuse?

King Yan's Mansion suddenly raised so many birds, and the intention was unknown. Zhang Bing couldn't sleep well, and had two dark circles under his eyes every day, but he couldn't think of a way.

They sent someone to send news to Xie Gui and Zhang Xin, but the two of them failed to come up with any effective ideas.

As for Tang Zong, who was in charge of the procuratorate, after reporting Chen Ying, he was closely monitored by Yan Wangfu.In the place where the interviewer Baozhao stayed, he could often see menacing shopkeepers, hawkers with hideous faces, and passing farmers who were all eight feet long and full of sinew.If these people had nothing to do with Yan Wang's mansion, Zhang Bing dared to twist his head off and give Yan Wang a kick.

I thought it was a good thing that King Yan left, but I didn't expect that once King Yan left, he would be even more restrained in doing things.

Zhang Bing guessed that there must be a master in Yan Wang's mansion, but he didn't expect that the master would be the son of Yan Wang, plus a monk who took rebellion as his life's mission.

The day when King Yan returned to the vassal was getting closer, Zhang Bing gritted his teeth, and sent someone to bring news to Song Zhong, the governor of Kaipingwei. Since King Yan wanted to see the governor of Song, it was better for the governor of Song to come to Peiping earlier and meet him face to face. To show sincerity.

Of course, Song Dudu can't come by himself, it's better to bring a guard.

A few hundred is too little, a few thousand is the basic, and tens of thousands is even better.

This move was approved by Xie Guiju, the Commander of Beiping Metropolis, Zhang Xin did not say a word, Bao Zhao and Tang Zong were under strict surveillance, it would be better not to contact each other.

After receiving Zhang Bing's letter, Song Zhong smiled wryly,

To put it lightly, is it so easy to mobilize an army of tens of thousands of people?Moreover, what's the matter with the command tone full of paper?He is a first-rank governor, how high is the chief envoy?

Scholar not only doesn't know soldiers, but also doesn't know the so-called!

I want to return to thinking, but I can't ignore it.

Song Zhong slapped his thigh, since Kaipingwei's work is not going well, he will be recruited from other guards!Quanningwei, Fuyuwei, Xinghesuo, and Yingzhouwei passed through the sieve one by one.Even Duoyan Sanwei Song Dudu also made up his mind, but in the end he had to give up because of King Ning.

King Yan is very tough, and King Ning is even tougher. Will it be good to go to the battlefield shirtless?

If one is not careful, King Ning will take care of himself without King Yan's action.

After a series of actions, Song Zhong finally gathered 3 people. Yang Duo and others were transferred from Quanningwei to his subordinates by Song Dudu, and they will go to Peiping with the army soon.

The so-called hundred secrets and one sparse, Song Zhong only noticed Shen Xuan, but ignored the nails that King Yan had placed in other guards.Yang Duo, who was also promoted to a thousand households with his military exploits, successfully entered the army controlled by the governor of the Song Dynasty, and in less than half a day, he got in touch with other Jingzhuang who had been transferred from Yanshan Guard.

Roughly speaking, of the 4000 troops in Song Zhong's hands, nearly [-] are Yanshan Guards, more than [-] are frontier troops and local elites, and only about [-] are the Southern Army he brought. Commanding such an army is quite difficult. easy.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Yang Duo already had an idea in mind, taking advantage of his rotation in the city, he took people to the Qianhu Office in Xicheng.

With his internal support and Shen Xuan's foreign aid, as long as the operation is done properly, there is a lot to do in this matter.

Yang Duo identified himself in front of the Qianhusuo, checked his badge, and walked into the gate of the Qianhusuo.

Not long after he entered, Meng Qinghe, dressed in a green military uniform and carrying a few new blueprints, also arrived.

There was an oolong in the city before, but Shen Qianhu didn't pursue it, and just said casually, "Meng Baihu has a good voice."

In a very common sentence, Meng Qinghe dreamed that he was bitten by the neck by a prairie wolf for several days in a row, and it was useless to thump.Seeing Shen Qianhu always reminded him of the wolf in his dream.

Fear?not necessarily.

expect?It's worse than being afraid.

In any case, on the premise of saving your life, it shouldn't matter if you try hard once?

According to Shen Qianhu's personality, talking about work can bring them closer to each other.Meng Qinghe racked his brains to re-improve the shape of the chariot, prepared the blueprints, found a time when he was not on duty, and came to the Qianhu Office in Xicheng.

The border guards guarding the gate were acquaintances. Meng Baihu had lived in Qianhu's house for more than half a month, and he was acquainted even if he was not acquainted.

He took the waist card handed back by the frontier soldier, and walked to the second hall without leading the way.During this time, Shen Xuan usually works in the wing room of the second hall.

With more than ten meters away from the wing, Meng Qinghe was suddenly stopped.The expression can not help but be a little surprised, such a thing has never happened before.

"Meng Baihu wait a moment, I will report to you first."

The one who stopped Meng Qinghe was a general banner under Zhou Rong's command, followed by two unfamiliar faces.

"It's work."

Meng Qinghe stood still in the courtyard. Judging from the situation, Shen Qianhu should have guests, and their identities were unusual, so the conversation was probably confidential.

Is he coming back at another time?

Just as he was thinking, the General Banner had notified and turned back, "Meng Baihu, thousands of households are welcome."

He couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so Meng Qinghe could only calm down, nodded to Zongqi, and walked into the wing room.

Candles were burning in the wing room, and two equally slender military officers in Tsing Yi were standing behind the case, looking at a few pieces of paper spread on the table, as if they were talking about something.

Meng Qinghe knelt down on one knee, "Biaoxia has met Qianhu!"

Shen Qianhu and Yang Qianhu raised their heads at the same time, under the candlelight, the same eyebrows are like distant mountains, temples are like knives, one is like a gentleman, gentle and moist like jade, the other is like a green pine, handsome and resolute.

Meng Qinghe was speechless, the Ming Dynasty selected civil servants based on their appearance, and the military officers were the same?

Do they all look so handsome?
