"His Royal Highness the Prince. Shang Zhu was the staff of this southbound team, and in addition to him, there were also Grand Sima Sun Yun, Mu Li Qing, and several lower-level officials.

"Let's go. Ji Zheng watched the Lingwang's umbrella car go farther and farther, and never looked back, and the Taifu, who had been teaching himself hard for many years, said that he was sick and took leave today, and did not go to the scene to say goodbye, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in his heart.

This is the first time Ji Zheng has gone out of the door, standing in front of the carriage, looking at the majestic city walls, tall palaces, and those magnificent buildings, the sun shines down, it is so magnificent, so beautiful, but how much dirt and meanness are hidden under the bright appearance, Ji Zheng does not know, he only feels that the court is flowing underneath, far from being as peaceful as it seems.

After living in this majestic city for twenty-five years, Ji Zheng had an unfamiliar feeling for the first time.

Along the way, Ji Zheng rarely spoke, and most of the time quietly watched the scenery on the road, and several other ministers fell behind his car.

There were bursts of women's laughter from these cars, as well as the sound of wine glasses staggering, and Li Qing, who was riding a horse, frowned.

This is Sun Yun's hobby, he likes to take a few handmaidens with him when he marches, the so-called upward and downward effect, his subordinates are either gambling badly, or indulging in alcohol, and the whole army is a miasma. If it were in the other armies of the empire, Sun Yun would have been dismissed a long time ago, but the Xuanshui Army was the worst army in the Five Elements Army of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and there was no oil and water to fish for the position of general, and the others didn't even have the desire to take a look, let alone report it.

Li Qing looked back and smiled bitterly, the so-called five thousand Xuanshui Army, all of them were yellow and thin, lifeless, untidy, walking crookedly, the flag they were carrying fell to the ground, they didn't look like soldiers at all, and even the horses carrying gold coins and treasures in the middle of the road were more energetic than them.

In the event of a war......

Li Qing didn't dare to imagine it at all.

What kind of patrol is this on behalf of the Son of Heaven? This is clearly a thousand miles to send people's heads.

Also, although many people don't know, Li Qingke learned that the Son of Heaven concealed from Taifu and other ministers that the Great Situ Guo Zhenlin had collected enough 1,000 gold shells, 5,000 silver shells, and countless other treasures, all of which were regarded as the sincerity of inviting the descendants of Fuxi to go out of the mountain.

Don't think about it, such a large sum of money must have been remembered by all the princes.

Li Qing couldn't understand, the crown prince was not a stupid person, couldn't he see that this southern tour was undoubtedly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? Several princes in the south are more powerful than those in the north, and if you bring so much money with you, the monarchs must be afraid that they will miss such an opportunity to make a lot of money. Li Qing couldn't understand why the prince wanted to leave the court, this time the court dispute, in fact, anyone could see that the third prince was hiding behind to add fuel to the fire, and in the end he succeeded, not only pushed the second prince to the north, but also pushed the prince out of the power center of the court.......

Hey.

Even if the crown prince can return to Mijing safe and sound in the end, what will happen to the imperial court, will the third prince let go of such a good opportunity in vain?

No matter how you look at it, the prince's departure from Kyoto is the next step.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Qing simply rode his horse to Prince Ji Zheng's car, parallel to it, and saw if he could say anything.

"Li Qingmu. Ji Zhengzheng was bored, and when he saw Li Qing, he just chatted with him to relieve his fatigue, "How far is it from Fengguo?"

Fengguo is the closest principality to Gyeonggi, the first Duke Fengcheng Gong is the younger brother of King Zhuang, and has been passed down to Mu Gong for three generations.

"Your Highness, this is just out of the capital, and it's still far away. Li Qing was afraid that the prince would be too worried, so he didn't tell the truth. In fact, with so many old, weak, sick and disabled people on the road, it is already very powerful to be able to walk sixty miles a day, so it will take at least half a month to get out of the border of Xuanyuan Country.

Ji Zheng heard Shang Zhu mention that Li Qing is a cultivator, if he is not mistaken, he should have stepped into the realm of all things, Ji Zheng doesn't know how powerful the realm of all things is, but looking at this, he is carrying a long sword, and he is tall and handsome, and he has a heroic spirit, which must be very powerful.

Hearing him speak this time, meaning that it would take a long time to arrive, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "It's going to take so long." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"That's all there is to it. Ji Zheng sighed.

"Why didn't Your Highness order General Sun Yun to speed up the march?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

"Shang Zhu Taibu said that all the itinerary was arranged by General Sun Yun, and he said that he would go as he wanted. ”

"What about Taibu?" Li Qinghuan looked left and right, and didn't see Shang Zhu nearby, and his heart was a little fixed, these people who pretended to be ghosts can really see through people's hearts, and it won't be fun if their little caution is spied on.

"I don't know, I should sleep in the back. Ji was leaning out of the window and looking behind, and several carriages were staggering behind, and he saw a pointer hanging on the roof of one of the carriages, so he pointed to the carriage and said, "This is Taibu's carriage, do you want to find him?"

"No, no, no. Li Qing denied it repeatedly, "Let's not disturb Taibu's rest." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Qing asked tentatively again: "Why does Your Highness want to go south?"

"This is what my father meant, whether it is a minister or a son, I should do my best. Ji Zheng withdrew his gaze, his brown eyes looking at the planks in the carriage, and his body swayed rhythmically with the carriage.

"Oh, I mean, the prince can argue that the third prince or the fourth prince or other prince will go on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, instead of the prince himself. ”

"Maybe my father thinks that my status as the crown prince is more representative of the royal family. ”

"What about His Highness's thoughts?"

"My thoughts?"

"Yes. ”

Ji Zheng looked at the blue sky in the distance, it seemed that there was a wild goose flying lonely between the sky and the earth, and after a long time, he said: "There is a long way to go, and it is only after death." ”
