When he heard the sentence "There is one in seventy this year, the strength is weak, the day and night are in danger, and the fear will not end", King Yan cried loudly: "Father, the son is not filial, the son is not filial!"

Thinking that when he was singing and feasting in Beiping, his father in the palace city was actually dying, and he didn't know anything; and remembered that since he was a vassal officer, the emperor often taught him in hand, and the edicts were written by himself, just like the last year, he and the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin were hundreds of miles away from Kaiping, and the emperor knew that after he knew it, he hurriedly told them, "You can't think it carefully, raise troops and travel far away, and don't meet the enemy, then you will be lucky." If you encounter it, wouldn't it be dangerous!" Every word and sentence is a sincere teaching, and it is the experience of the emperor's horse career, all of which are painstaking tests, and so far thinking about it, King Yan can't help but be heartbroken and grief-stricken.

"The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying. The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Where the kingdom is, the civil and military officials listen to the moderation of the court, but the guards and soldiers listen to the king."

When King Yan heard this, he raised his head suddenly, why did the edict not allow the kings to go to Beijing to mourn? Why did he take away the power of the kings to control the capital? It was only ten days ago that the king of Yan received an edict from the emperor to take Yang Wen, the governor of the left capital, as the general army to come to Beiping as a counselor. When the soldiers and horses of the four major capitals of the Xuanfu and Daning capitals and the guards of the three princes' mansions totaled 150,000 horses, the emperor could change his mind in ten days, and listening to this meaning, he was not preparing for this autumn's preparations - is this really the emperor's edict?

He took the edict and ordered Gao Chi to receive the envoy into the Chengfeng rest room, and ordered Ma He to go to Qingshou Temple to find Daoyan, but he didn't want to answer behind his back: "The monk has already come." ”

Dao Yan stood in front of him, and King Yan handed him the edict in his hand, and said: "Master, you see that this edict is against human morality, and you are not allowed to enter Beijing to cry and mourn! Now that my father is driving, how can it be different from the original example?"

Dao Yan's eyes flashed with deep thought: "This edict is suspicious. ”

"There is no doubt that this is the edict of Emperor Daxing," Dao Yan said: "It's just the last two sentences, I'm afraid that someone added them to hold the kings hostage, especially His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Dao Yan then said, not allowing the kings to enter Beijing to cry and mourn, its purpose is nothing more than two: one is the so-called "kings shoulder the great responsibility of shielding the imperial court and the imperial family", if you leave your post without permission in this extraordinary period, I am afraid that the Northern Yuan will hear about it and take advantage of the gap to enter. This is the most likely statement, but from Daoyan's point of view, it is simply a fart. In the edict, it was clearly said that "where the kingdom is, the civil and military officials listen to the control of the imperial court, but the guards and soldiers listen to the king", and suddenly the Dusi army and horses were stripped out of the control of the king of Yan and returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The second is the real intention of the person who wrote the edict, in order to prevent the kings from taking the dignity of their uncles and leading troops to Beijing for funeral, and what unexpected may happen and pose a threat to the new emperor. If the first emperor really intended to guard against King Yan, why did he call King Yan "Duke of Zhou" in the last edict sent to Beiping on 29 May?

Will the Zhou Guild use soldiers and armor to threaten the king?

Unless the rebellion of Guan Cai happens.

"I want to enter Beijing and come to the funeral in person," King Yan made up his mind: "The heart of a filial son, heaven and earth can be learned, I want to ask my nephew of King Cheng, who listened to someone's ill-intentioned advice, and did not let me see my father's remains!"

Dao Yan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the court won't allow it, and His Royal Highness will return in vain." If His Highness insists on going, the old man will not send him away. ”

King Yan glanced at him hatefully, walked out angrily, and suddenly came back after a while, two sergeants with tigers on their backs came in, and dragged Dao Yan up half-supported and half-hugged, and King Yan said: "Call you an old monk with ability!

With Daoyan's ability, it is easy to deal with three or five people, but I didn't see how he struggled, but he just said Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, and shook his long eyebrows: "If Your Highness wants to watch the soldiers of the Beijing Division, then the old man will go with His Highness!"

King Yan and Dao Yan discussed it, and on the one hand, they sent people to contact the kings of Ning, Liao, Gu, Dai, and Zhou, and asked them to act together, and they all went to Beijing to cry and mourn, and on the other hand, they ordered the palace to guard 1,000 people, and prepared to go to Beijing.

And Princess Xu and Zhang Zhaohua have already put on a decay suit, and they all say "filial piety is heavy", this kind of filial piety clothes made of raw linen, and the broken parts are exposed and not seized, and even the little Brother Chun, the outside of the swaddling clothes are covered with a layer of linen, which seems to be very uncomfortable, and he blushes when he kicks his legs.

Zhang Zhaohua's eyes widened, and the nurse hurriedly put the linen piece under the swaddling clothes, this method worked, and sure enough, Brother Chun'er no longer felt uncomfortable. The princess over there called her to go up, according to the edict, the kings only allowed their own country to cry, they had to go to the carrier hall to mourn first, and then go to the ancestral temple and the shrine, but before they went up, there were palace people who came to say that King Yan was going to take Gao Chi three to the capital for funeral.

The princess couldn't help but be shocked, and when she saw King Yan, she said: "Your Highness, why don't you listen to the edict and not allow the kings to go to Beijing? At this time, the imperial court is not the imperial court of the great emperor, but the court of the new emperor, which is closer, father and son, uncle and nephew? If you forcibly enter Beijing and are charged with violating the will of the first emperor and the holy decree of the new emperor, what should be good at that time?"

Zhang Zhaohua nodded again and again, the princess said everything, but she didn't know why King Yan insisted on doing it, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Daoyan, this old monk had exhausted his calculations, why didn't he say a word at this time?

The princess also thought of the influence of this old monk on King Yan, and said, "Master, why don't you persuade him!"

"Amitabha," Dao Yan smiled slightly: "Your Highness's filial son's heart touches the heavens and the earth, who dares to stop it." ”

Zhang Zhaohua seems to understand a little, King Yan is going to mourn, and the worst result is just to return in the middle of the road, the court does not dare to arrest him, and he can't take another step forward. Why, because King Yan adheres to the "heart of filial piety", a grief-stricken son is not allowed to see his old father's will, and he is no longer close to people, if he has to be questioned for this, then the world will be unfair. And because King Yan has no more than a thousand guards around him, this is an interesting place, what can you say about what these thousand people can do, to be honest, they can't do anything, but these people drive straight down, and the shock caused is not small. So this is a subtle temptation, look at the imperial court, what is prepared to deal with these thousand people.

If the imperial court did not stop it and only sent someone to reprimand him, then the king of Yan did not say a word, left the soldiers by the river, rode into Beijing alone, and worshiped the first emperor. If it is heavily armed, ready for battle, as if facing a great enemy, it is too suspicious, and the contents of the edict are worth discussing, who is the person who is jealous, monitoring and holding hostage to the kings in the name of the edict?

Just thought of these two layers, Zhang Zhaohua admired the five bodies to the ground, and Dao Yan and Yan Wang actually had an idea that was not said, this idea must not be declared, the new emperor was on the throne, young people are always young and vigorous, he is young and vigorous, he takes the world as his own house, and how to furnish it, this is exactly the intention of the emperor of Daxing to order Zhou Gong, always to make him be restrained, otherwise the emperor is the only one who acts arbitrarily, who can control it?

To give the new emperor a little face to see the world, a little means to taste, this is not only the idea of King Yan, this is the idea of the new emperors of all dynasties and the young new emperors ascended the throne, and the ministers thought. But now under the suppression of Emperor Daxing, the power of the ministers has almost been lost, and there is no ability to wrestle with the imperial power, and the one who can give the new emperor a little fear and coercion is the vassal king of these uncles, and among them, King Yan is the head of the kings.

King Yan was led by the Mongolian commander Guantong and the central guard Qianhu Qiufu, and took his three sons south to mourn. Out of Beiping City, King Yan saw through the left door of the chariot car that the light was getting darker, and the southern sky was surging, and then there were big drops of rain penetrating into the car. Dao Yan stretched out his hand to close the car door, but was stopped by King Yan, he saw the pouring rain falling, hitting the wheels and horses, and the army in front of him was moving forward with difficulty—he called to the sergeant who supported him: "Bring my horse here!"

King Yan also mounted his horse and braved the wind and rain with his soldiers, and in the whistling wind, the raindrops of beans smashed on his gray mourning clothes, but he did not notice anything.

Along the way, the wind and rain, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, the appearance of King Yan was decayed, and he couldn't swallow it. One night, when the sky was clear and it was no longer raining, Dao Yan pushed the door and went out, standing on the steps and looking up at the stars.

He looked at the sky, Gao Chi walked over, and said, "Master, what do you gain from stargazing?"

The continuous rush in the past few days has also made Gao Chi suffer, he was originally obese, and his physique was not as good as his two younger brothers, and when King Yan rode the horse, except for Dao Yan who dared to sit in the chariot, everyone else had to take the chariot to ride the horse, and after Gao Chi was drenched in the rain, there seemed to be a little sign of chills. Fortunately, thanks to Daoyan's medicine and care, he did not get sick.

"Lao Wei looks at Ziwei Yuan City," Dao Yan casually pointed to Zhongtian Yiyuan City, and said, "Does the prince know Ziwei Yuan?"

Dao Yan is a person, celestial phenomena, star calculations, calendars, Qimen Dunjia are all knowledgeable, learned Confucianism, became Taoist, shaved his hair, he is a yin and yang family in terms of strategy, he is a Guiguzi in terms of power, and he is an emperor in his heart, and what he wants to do is the great cause that will succeed in ten thousand bones.

Gao Chi said: "Ziwei, the emperor is also." Spectacle is often used to test the emperor. ”

Dao Yan nodded, and slowly explained, this central wall city is crape myrtle wall, and in the entire crape myrtle wall, there are a total of 37 constellations, and there are 163 positive stars, "These five big stars are called North Star Official, and the five North Pole stars are the prince, the emperor, the concubine, the harem, and the North Pole." ”

Symbolizes the emperor's family. Jiang Qi nodded and said, "What about the stars on both sides of the east and west?"

"The Eight Stars of the Eastern Domain, from the south are called Zuoshu, Shangzai, Shaozai, Shangbi, Shaobi, Shangwei, Shaowei, and Shaocheng; ”

Gao Chi pointed and asked one by one, and Dao Yan said: "This is the four auxiliary star officials, the four auxiliary ministers of the left and right of the Son of Heaven; this is called the third master, referring to the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao; this is the Wenchang six-star ......."
