Guangwang Mansion

A woman dressed in pale yellow clothes covered herself with a wide hood, and walked quickly all the way to the gate of the Guangwang Mansion, where the guard reached out to stop her, scanning the woman with a suspicious gaze.

"Please inform the Emperor Fu or Prince Mingxu, and say that His Royal Highness King Guang wants to see him. The woman commanded lightly.

The guards glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and the leader of the guards nodded at her, "Wait a minute, let's go in and inform Prince Mingxu." ”

After a while, Ming Xu came out of the Guangwang Mansion, and when he saw the woman, he hesitated for a moment, and then saluted respectfully, "I don't know who the girl is?" ”

The woman saluted back: "Prince Mingxu doesn't know it. But I don't know if I remember that one night, His Royal Highness King Guangwang drove to the restaurant to meet a person. ”

Ming Xu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he showed a shocked expression, he looked at the woman again, and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency is ......?"

"Can Prince Mingxu speak inside. The woman interrupted him. Mingxu understood in his heart, and immediately made a gesture of "please", "The girl is talking inside." ”

The woman didn't reply to him, Mingxu didn't ask much, just led the way in front. He took the woman to the pavilion in the back garden of the Guangwang Mansion, dismissed the crowd, and then said to the woman, "You can take off your hood." ”

The woman slowly took off the hood, and Ming Xu saluted the woman, "Your Excellency is Miss Changle, the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao Wanmian." ”

The woman nodded, then took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Ming Xu, "This is brought out by His Royal Highness King Guang entrusted by my father, and His Royal Highness King Guang said that Prince Ming Xu would personally hand it over to Yin Zhujun." ”

Ming Xu took the envelope and thanked Xiao Changle. Xiao Changle nodded in return, and said softly to Ming Xu: "I can't stay long, there is His Majesty's eyeliner here, and Prince Ming Xu must be careful." ”

"Are there also people in the Guangwang Mansion who have been placed in the three places of the Iron and Blood Army?" Ming Xu looked a little surprised.

"Now the Iron Blood Army is so powerful, the entire capital is their eyeliner, even the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Xiao Changle finished speaking, he said to Ming Xu, "The letter has been brought, and I will leave." ”

"Miss Xiao be careful on the road. Mingxu bowed and said.

......

After Xiao Changle left, Ming Xu stuffed the letter into his arms, glanced around, and went to Yinzhu Jun after confirming that it was correct.

Yinzhujun lived in the wine garden of Guangwangfu, because Yinzhujun loved to drink the most in his life, so Yelan deliberately put a bunch of good wine in the wine garden to honor Yinzhujun, so the wine garden got its name.

When Mingxu went, Yinzhujun was sitting in the small bamboo forest drinking and enjoying the scenery, and when he caught a glimpse of Mingxu's arrival, Yinzhujun took another big sip of wine, and asked Mingxu lazily: "Mingxu, did that kid from Yelan send you to send me a letter." ”

Mingxu was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?"

"Oh, that kid was punished in a dungeon by his grandfather when he was a child, and he always found a way to send me a letter to save him, and I still know this little trick. Although he drank a lot of alcohol, Yinzhujun was still very sober and clear, and he didn't look like a person who drank a lot of alcohol and smoked it.

"The Yelantuo people brought you a letter, and it was still sealed by fire paint, which seems to be a big deal. Mingxu took out the letter from his arms and just wanted to hand it to Yinzhujun, but Yinzhujun pushed the letter back into his arms. "It's good for you to read it, I'm too drunk to be too lazy to watch. ”

"What if it's important information?

"Yelan regards you as a close friend, so you don't have to hide these things. Yin Zhujun didn't care.

Mingxu's heart warmed, he opened the envelope, carefully took out the letter paper, and began to read it......

"Teacher Zhujun ......" looked down a few lines, and Mingxu's jaw was about to fall in surprise. He looked at Yin Zhujun dumbfounded, but found that the latter was gulping down, as if nothing had happened, until he saw Ming Xu's voice stop, he reacted, and looked at Ming Xu with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"This ...... This is...... Yelan wrote, "It's like seeing a pig go up a tree and a dog lay eggs."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Mingxu's expression of disbelief, Yinzhu-kun thought seriously for a moment, and finally gave him a conclusion, "This is what Yelan wrote." Really, truly, truer than real gold. ”

Mingxu stared at the letter paper again and continued to read......

"Old man, you have something to ask you to do...... That's it, remember to burn the letter after reading it. Ming Xu finished reading Ye Lan's letter in one breath, he couldn't believe that this was Ye Lan's tone, was this still the Leng Wang Ye Lan he knew......?

Mingxu was stunned. Yin Zhujun stood up from his seat, threw the wine bottle casually, and saw Ming Xu's sluggish appearance, and shook his hand in front of his eyes, but Ming Xu still didn't react.

Yin Zhujun directly snatched the letter paper from Ming Xu's hand, glanced at it hastily, and burned the letter paper with a flame with internal strength, and then he patted Ming Xu on the shoulder and said to him: "Tell Yelan that his master knows, and I will do it for him." Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, this is the special language between Yelan and me, it doesn't matter if you don't get used to it, just get used to it slowly. ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed a pot of peach blossom brew casually, hummed a song and shook the wine bottle and left, leaving Mingxu alone in place for a long time before he came to his senses.

......

July 28, 18th year of Emperor Zhaoning

Historical records: Emperor Zhaoning inspected the central army troops in front of the Taiji Hall of the imperial palace, and personally handed over the military seal of the central army to King Gongwang Yeshu. The person who holds the military seal represents the commander-in-chief and command of the army, and is the highest leader of the army, which means that from this moment on, the 100,000 people of the Central Army will only obey at night.

Ye Shu knelt down to receive the military seal, swore allegiance to Emperor Zhaoning, and returned from quelling the rebellion. After the ceremony, Ye Shu got on the horse and went first, followed by the king of Xichang, and the 100,000 army swept out of the Zhengyang Gate, attracting the people to watch, and praised the majesty of our army, and it will be able to return victoriously.

The outcome of this battle is recorded on the next page of the history books, whether it was won or lost, and it can only be known when the next page is turned to the next page.

Out of Kyoto City, Ye Shu saw a carriage parked on the side of the road from a distance, he stopped the army, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the carriage. A girl in white got out of the carriage, it was his fiancée Lie Beiyao. As soon as Ye Shu saw Lie Beiyao, his eyes were full of love, he gently took Lie Beiyao's hand, and his voice was very soft, "Why are you here." ”

Lie Beiyao's eyes also contained love, with a hint of delicateness. Her face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Ye Shu, but replied timidly, "You go on the expedition, I want to send it off." ”

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Shu smiled, "When I come back and make great contributions, my father will definitely make me the crown prince, and you will be my crown princess at that time." ”

Lie Beiyao's face turned red again, "Brother Yeshu, I just hope you return safely." ”

Ye Shu nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I will be safe." ”

Lie Beiyao let out an "um". Ye Shu gently wrapped his hand around her waist and leaned his face over, leaving a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Wait for me. After saying that, Ye Shu glanced at her again, turned around and walked quickly back to the army, turned over and got on his horse. "Let's go. Ye Shu said in a low voice and commanded the army.

......

"Yeshu is out of the city now?" Emperor Zhaoning was leisurely feeding the fish by the pool, and Fan Bozhong, who was standing next to him, replied, "Yes." His Royal Highness King Gong has left Kyoto with his army, and it is estimated that in a week he will be able to reach the eastern province of Saha, which borders the area under the control of our dynasty. ”

"Do you think Ye Ji will do something during this trip?" Emperor Zhaoning suddenly changed his words.

"This ......," Fan Bozhong hesitated, "the minister doesn't dare to speak out." ”

"Is there any news from the three places?" Emperor Zhaoning took a few grains of fish food from the bowl and threw them into the pool.

Ju Wuba said that Xiao Xiang went to see the King of Light in prison. Fan Bozhong replied.

"Yelan?" Emperor Zhaoning paused, "I forgot that he was still in prison, why did I put him in the first place?"

"This ...... I don't know. Fan Bozhong said in panic.

"Release Yelan in a little while, huh...... Send it to the Eastern Battlefield. ”

"But His Royal Highness King Gong didn't just lead the army to leave......" Fan Bozhong was puzzled.

"Do you think Ye Shu can successfully quell the rebellion? What he said in the court will I not know? I am the one who has led the army, and this counterinsurgency is not as simple as he thought. Emperor Zhaoning said lightly, and threw all the fish food into the pool. As soon as the fish in the pond saw the fish food, they scrambled with joy, and after a while, a goldfish suddenly stopped moving, turned its belly over, and died.

"In that case, why did Your Majesty hand over the Central Army to His Royal Highness King Gong and let His Royal Highness King Gong lead the army to the battle?" Fan Bozhong wondered.

"Huh. Emperor Zhaoning smiled heartily, "If you don't let him suffer a little and hit a wall, how can you get experience? And Ye Shu is a person who wants to be the prince, if he doesn't lead the army to fight, he will make some military achievements, how can he serve the public in the future." ”

"But if His Highness is defeated...... Fan Bozhong said cautiously.

"I sent the king of Xichang, Shen Kuo is a veteran, with him, the overall situation will not be chaotic. After a pause, he said, "As for whether this battle can be won, it depends on Ye Shu's own ability." ”

"Your Majesty has taken precautions and admires you. Fan Bozhong complimented.

"Fan Bozhong, you must know that in the royal family, whether you can survive the royal battle or not depends on your own creation. I was drawn out of the fifteen princes back then and ascended to the throne by myself, and now Yeshu is the same, whether he has this life or not, it is all up to him. Emperor Zhaoning said coldly.

"I understand. Fan Bozhong said.
