In the autumn of the eighty-third year of Emperor Yitian, Chen Hai's canonization ceremony was held on August 10 in the prayer hall of Yanran Palace.

Chen Hai was outstanding in his side merit, and he had meritorious service in escorting, and the marquis was further advanced, sealing the township marquis, sealing the general of the chariot and cavalry, and concurrently leading the Longxiang Duwei and Hengshan Mansion, and rewarding the dragon sword, Jiao Ji Dan, Lingjiao Jia and other spirit pills, and a number of Xuanbing spirit armor.

All the lords and courtiers all had to watch the ceremony, and within a few days, the inner court began to exert its authority through the assassination of Shenling Mountain.

After the canonization ceremony was completed, something unexpected happened to the lords.

Zhao Zhong and Wen Boyuan came up with another will, canonizing the prince Yinglei as the Marquis of Guining, the Marquis of the same township, eating ten thousand households, and giving Yanjing the Marquis Mansion a temporary residence;

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar.

Carefully calculated, since Yao Wenjin was abolished in the court that year, Emperor Yitian has not appeared in public for nearly three years, only Tu Que and other princes and important ministers, or the opportunity to enter the palace to meet him, but the time is very short.

Because Wen Boyuan and others had various positions in Yanran Palace, even if Tu Que and others had the opportunity to meet the emperor, it was difficult to accurately judge the emperor's situation at this time, but they could only be sure that the emperor's situation was already very bad.

Who knew that just when they all thought they were winning, there were so many twists and turns.

In this way, first of all, the plan that the British Prince's Mansion had been planning for many days to send Yingti out of Yanjing to become a vassal was directly declared bankrupt without implementation.

And Zhao Zhong and Wen Boyuan let Ying Ti move out of Yanran Palace to live at this time, and even had to build a large number of buildings and build a marquis mansion in Gyeonggi, many well-intentioned people can also guess that Zhao Zhong, Wen Boyuan and others are likely to have undergone major changes in the strategy of winning this chess piece.

Everyone speculated that the Inner Court and the Tianji Academy Palace joined forces to build the Hou Mansion in Gyeonggi in order to win the site, perhaps mainly to facilitate the return of Ning Hou to be able to plump up the party henchmen, so as to pave the way for the next step to enter the East Palace and succeed the crown prince, but the Hou Mansion was built, and it could not be completed in a few days, and it may not even be able to be completed in a year or two, Wen Boyuan and Zhao Zhong really had the patience to drag on for such a long time, or the emperor's situation at this time was not as serious as rumored?

As soon as the news came out, the attitudes between the various valves suddenly became ambiguous.

Since the 73rd winter of Emperor Yitian, the situation in Yanzhou has not been calm for ten years, especially Gyeonggi and the nearby county capital, which have been tragically devastated.

Although the scourge of the Red Mei Sect was pacified in the seventy-ninth year of Emperor Yitian, the sphere of influence of the large and small sect lords of Yanzhou, which was riddled with holes, began to change.

Among them, the Taiwei Sect represented by the Dong clan in Hexi actually swallowed the entire county fiefdom of Helan Sword Sect in one fell swoop, and at this time raised troops to the east, with the potential of swallowing Tianshui and Qinchuan.

The sect lords who have now gained benefits, such as the Dong clan in Hexi, want to consolidate and digest the territory they occupy, while the clan lords who are struggling to support it, such as the Wu clan in Tianshui, want a strong court that can stabilize the situation.

The different interests have a common goal, that is, a stable court, and they do not care whether they will win or win in the future.

The envoys of the major sects in the capital began to meet frequently, exchanging news and speculating about what the inner court wanted to do.

Chen Hai didn't care about this, after the canonization ceremony was completed, he took the imperial edict, surrounded by elite guards, galloped out of Yanjing City, went up the Qiuye River, and finally stopped in front of a lonely peak in the southwest corner of Yuting Mountain.

"Senior brother, how about we choose this mountain range and build a big mansion for the Marquis of Guining?" Chen Hai is now in Yanjing, and he is in a particularly happy mood, and he asked with a smile the old man who has always turned into a green robe and followed him.

According to the south bank of the Akino River, more than 100 zhang high, the ridge of the vertical and horizontal mountain rises from the ground, although the mountain is not high, but the mountain is extremely precipitous, like a sharp blade inserted horizontally on the bank of the Akino River, there is a north-south gallop road from the front of the mountain ridge to cross, through a ferry of the Akino River, connecting the north and south.

Cang Yi frowned and said: "I'm afraid this lonely peak mountain is too small, if there is any change in the Xiyuan Army, according to this peak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress it......"

Chen Hai laughed and said: "The 400,000 elites of the Xiyuan Army really want to flock south, no matter how steep the terrain is, it is impossible to stop it with one or two thousand people, and what I value is not this lonely peak." The Chi Road connected at both ends of Fenglindu is the main road connecting Wusheng Pass and Qintong Guandongguan, and Fenglindu is connected to the Qiuye River, not only the boats and boats from Yuting City have to pass through here, but also the Chi Road connecting Yuting City and Yanjing City is only ten miles away from this peak, in addition, the Tu clan is located two hundred miles north of the lonely peak, and the clan land of the Zuo Chengrong clan is located three hundred miles northeast of the lonely peak, and the Hou of Guining built a mansion here, so as to really get close to the lords......

Only then did Cang Yi know that Chen Hai's choice of this place had far exceeded the consideration of the steep terrain, which really made the lords really uncomfortable.

At this time, there was a group of men and horses galloping from the direction of Yuting City, looking like the soldiers of the Yao clan, but Chen Hai ignored them, and directly surrounded by Hu Wei, turned around and returned to Yanjing City.

The children of the Yao clan saw that it was the guards of Chen Hai, the Marquis of Tianji, and wondered why they appeared here, but they didn't catch up and ask what happened, after all, although this was the Yao clan's territory, it would not prohibit others from haunting.

****************************

After Chen Hai determined the location of the Hou Mansion, out of politeness, he still had to return to Ning Hou to win tired.

The mansion selected by the inner court in Yanjing City is located on Fengjing Street, and after the court discussion, Guining Hou Yinglei moved directly out of Yanran Palace and lived in.

Guining Hou Mansion, covering an area of more than 100 acres, but next to Yanran Palace, there are two garrisons of the Su Guards in front and back, which is essentially another cage for Yinglei.

But for Yingti, moving out of Yanran Palace is also a crucial step.

Fengjing Street is next to Yanran Palace, Wen Boyuan and others have also settled their mansions here, and when Chen Hai's car rolled the bluestone road, it was just night, and the street was already deserted.

The car stopped steadily in front of the gate that had just hung the plaque of the "Guining Hou" mansion, and the winner who got the news was already waiting in front of the mansion gate, and the two people who served behind him were the maids who Chen Hai gave him before, but it seems that these two people have been favored by Win Ti in the past two days, and it seems that Ying Ti still can't help the bitterness of practice.

Of course, this is also the inner court's sincerity to show its cooperation with the Tianji Academy, and Ying Ti took them out to greet them, which is probably a kind of show of goodwill - Chen Hai saw this scene, but he smiled in his heart.

Tired of coming over with a spring breeze on his face, he enthusiastically grabbed Chen Hai's arm and wanted to invite him to the mansion for a banquet.

"Weichen is responsible for the important task of supervising the construction of the Hou Mansion for His Royal Highness, and the sooner it is built, the more beneficial it will be for His Highness, it is not early, I want to rush back to Caojiabao before the city gate is closed, and I will not delay on His Highness's side. "Chen Hai chose the location of the Hou Mansion and reported that he was tired, so he wanted to leave directly.

"Chen Hou is full of help, the mother must thank her face to face, please Chen Hou don't refuse, if the city gate is closed, Chen Hou can stay here for one night. Ying Ti said.

Chen Hai didn't expect Yang Qiao'er to move out of Yanran Palace with Win, but it was normal to think about it.

According to the system, the imperial concubine cannot live out of Yanran Palace, but in recent years, it has become a practice for the imperial concubine to move out of the palace with the prince, and the root cause lies in Wen Boyuan and others, who do not want the imperial concubine from the sect to stay in Yanran Palace and have the opportunity to watch their every move all day long.

In the eyes of the sect lords, after Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs took control of Yanran Palace, all the rules changed drastically.

"......" Chen Hai didn't know what Yang Qiao'er had to say, so he had to tell him face to face, so he had no choice but to let Hu Wei stay outside temporarily, and He Luo, who was dressed as a woman and a fake man, accompanied him and followed Ying Ti to the depths of the mansion.

After bypassing a few corridors, Chen Hai could see that the inner court still did not lose money in terms of food and clothing. Although the courtyard is not wide, it is extremely elegant, and it is also a good place for self-cultivation, but it is a pity that there is more cultivation next to him, and there is nowhere to talk about self-cultivation.

The two of them came to the backyard of the mansion without saying a word, and Yang Qiao'er, the wife of the county, was already waiting in the main hall of the backyard.

At this time, Yang Qiao'er was no longer the same as she was when she was in Lingdao Cave, wearing a bright red soft smoke Luo Tong sleeve shirt, a bright yellow silk satin skirt that dragged the floor embroidered with two colorful phoenixes, a phoenix hairpin on her sideburns and a dragon pattern jade pendant tied on a soft silk belt, which made her look extremely expensive - and a faint treasure light revealed under the brocade robe, showing that she had a magic weapon that was not weak.

After the two sides saw each other, they sat down, and their words were nothing more than those clichés, although Chen Hai was impatient in his heart, he still did enough to save face.

Just as she wanted to get up and say goodbye, she suddenly heard Yang Qiao'er tell Ying Ti and everyone to go down first, and she and Chen Hai had something to talk about. Ying Ti obviously knew it a long time ago, so he didn't hesitate to get up and salute, and walked out with a few entourages.

Chen Hai also pretended to let Cang Yi and He Luo wait in the courtyard.

After everyone walked out, Yang Qiao'er repeated his old trick, took out the black jade pendant from his arms, and with a flick, Chen Hai could feel that Yang Qiao'er's shielding divine sense fluctuations had emerged again that day.

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, and then heard Yang Qiao'er open his mouth and ask: "There is no one else here, I want to dare to ask Chen Hou, does Chen Hou really want to help Ti'er ascend to the throne of God?"
