Ren Xiaoyao slapped his forehead suddenly, hey! Since taking over the position of garrison general, he has never paid attention to it, the so-called garrison, and he has never even been to the camp of the capital city defense army, and he doesn't know any of the soldiers under him, and Lao Tzu is really sloppy enough to be a general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ ๏ฝ๏ฝfo
After taking a closer look at Qin Chong, Ren Xiaoyao found that although his attitude towards him was respectful enough, the look on his face was quite disapproving, and a little disdain flashed in his eyes from time to time, and there was even a hint of hatred.
Ren was free for a while, and secretly said, I haven't offended him, right? Why is this guy named Qin Chong so virtuous? Could it be that I inadvertently molested his wife? No, you can't! Young Master Ben hadn't molested a woman for a long time......
Then a flash of inspiration flashed in Ren Yao's mind, ouch! Qin Chong, isn't he the prince's confidant general? Pan Shangshu provided himself with a list of the forces in the prince's army in the prison, and it seemed that Qin Chong's name was among them. Hey, what a coincidence, he made God my subordinate......
There were a large number of people, Ren Xiaoyao didn't have time to think about it, and after glancing at Qin Chong with a strange look, Ren Xiaoyao greeted the next official warmly.
The group greeted each other and waited to enter the city, and suddenly a carriage drove out of the city, stopped in front of them, let Xiaoyao and the fat man take a look, and then saw Gonggong Cao in the palace frowning, rubbing his waist, and crawling out of the carriage with a sigh.
Ren Xiaoyao was stunned and said, "Yo, isn't this Gonggong Cao?" I haven't seen you for many days, and your body is getting tougher and stronger. โ
The fat man and the officials also hurriedly greeted Gonggong Cao with a smile.
Gonggong Cao respectfully saluted the fat man, and then smiled at Ren Xiaoyao and said, "What is tough!" A carriage ride almost tossed our old bones upside down......"
Immediately, Grandpa Cao said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye is safe and sound, it is really the blessing of my Hua Dynasty!" In the future, the marquis will be able to increase the official and be promoted, which is a blessing. โ
Ren Xiaoyao laughed, and then quietly stuffed a silver ticket to him, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if my father-in-law left the palace to ......"
Gonggong Cao took the silver ticket, his old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he was even more polite to Ren Xiaoyao, and said with a smile: "According to the emperor's instructions, after the marquis of Ren enters Beijing, he will immediately enter the palace to face the saint, and he must not be lazy." โ
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at it in embarrassment, and said, "But...... I haven't gone home yet, so I have to pay a visit to my father and mother before entering the palace......"
pouted beside him and said: "That is, my father is not considerate of people at all, and he has not entered the city yet, so he is in a hurry to announce his entry into the palace, is there anything to say tomorrow?" โ
Father-in-law Cao laughed and said, "This ...... Our family is also under the emperor's will, Lord Hou don't embarrass our family, you haven't entered the city before you are favored by the Lord of Long Live Lord, this is the grace that other ministers can't ask for, entering the palace to face the saint is actually a matter of a while, and it won't take long to come out......"
Ren Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Come on, let's enter the palace, who called him my father-in-law......"
So Ren Xiaoyao said goodbye to all the officials who came to greet him, and let the fat man go back to the house first, and Ren Xiaoyao got into the carriage of Gonggong Cao and entered the capital.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at the familiar streets and alleys in the capital, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lao Tzu has finally come back alive! Since the last time I was knocked out of the city by Luo Yueniang's little lady, I have been unconsciously half a month, although it is only half a month, and now I step on the capital again, Ren Xiaoyao has a feeling of being in a different world. At this moment, I felt a lot of emotion, and I sighed for a while.
Gonggong Cao also sat in the carriage, and said to Ren Yao with a smile: "Hou Ye disappeared this time, it can be said that he has gone through hardships and dangers, but fortunately, good people have their own blessings, and Hou Ye will be more favored by the emperor in the future, some ministers have survived in the court for a lifetime, their hair and beard are white, and they may not be able to have the glory of Hou Ye today, Hou Ye has been in the court for less than a year, and he is already a pillar of the country, which is very rare, as the so-called 'beach is only half a year, and today the waves hit me and turned over', Hou Ye's official fortune is prosperous......"
Ren Xiaoyao listened to Grandpa Cao's flattery with joy, smiled happily, and said in surprise when he heard the words: "Yo, I can't see that Grandpa Cao is a cultural person, and he actually knows how to compose poetry?" โ
Gonggong Cao smiled reservedly: "I understand a little." โ
Ren Xiaoyao touched it for a while, and suddenly his face sank, and he said, "Hey, Gonggong Cao, it's not right,...... Don't you think this poem is about the king? โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
It was already night, and the prince hosted a banquet for several ministers in the front hall of the palace.
Since the emperor ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, many ministers have seen that the emperor intends to hand over the baton. And the crown prince can now openly communicate with the ministers of the court, after all, he is the prince of a country, and he is responsible for supervising the country, and the prince has always been very close to the ministers when he was in charge of the country, from the position of the emperor, it is also reasonable, because when the two generations of power are transferred, from the temple to the commoners, they all hope to have a smooth and peaceful handover process, so the prince befriended the ministers and laid the foundation for his accession, which is understandable, including the emperor will not say anything. Just don't go too far and keep the balance right.
Sisi's one-handed pipa is still playing, as urgent as a shower, chaotic as Jin Ge's pipa sound, in the middle of the front hall several bewitching dancers who are dancing delicate bodies, their emotions also seem to be out of control, and the moans released after being suppressed for a long time are stirring the hearts of the ministers.
Their slender hands continue to caress their crisp breasts, thin waists, and their bodies writhing irregularly, as if they have lost their nature, and the corners of their eyes contain infinite spring love and charm, and the atmosphere of the entire front hall is luxurious and *** made several ministers present stunned, and their always calm faces began to unconsciously emerge with a bit of irrepressible lust.
"Bang!"
A minister was too focused on the dancing girl in the palace, and finally accidentally knocked over the wine cup on the table.
At this moment, Sisi's pipa sound also stopped abruptly, and the song was finished, and everyone was shocked, and reluctantly glanced at the bewitching dancing girl and Sisi girl who retreated.
The crown prince sat at the head of the hall, and when he saw the demeanor of the ministers, he couldn't help but smile slightly, then raised the wine cup and said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please drink." โ
The ministers hurriedly raised the wine cup respectfully, and said in unison that it was the prince's birthday.
The prince took a sip. He put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "I have been in the country for many days, but fortunately, my father and the emperor have given me guidance from time to time, and all the adults have helped me to do things big and small. But there is no fault in dealing with it. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you today, and I hope that you will not give up, and you will need to give advice and guidance in the future. โ
When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to say in unison.
Guo Renliang, the new right attendant of the household department, immediately jumped out and said with a flattering smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious. Assisting the prince in supervising the country is not only the emperor's will, but also our duty as courtiers, how dare we be the prince with the word 'thanks'? In the future, Weichen and others will definitely smear His Highness's liver and brain, and serve the work of dogs and horses......"
Guo Renliang was originally an inconspicuous petty official. After the Pan rebellion was suppressed, the court underwent a major purge, and the emperor killed a large number of Pan Party officials above the fourth grade.
The ministers frowned secretly when they heard this, although everyone stood in line and definitely stood with the prince, but do you need to say it so clearly? It's too impatient, isn't it? Even the most basic physique and face of an official have been lost, it is simply disgusting and insensitive!
The prince smiled noncommittally: "Anyway." Alone with the responsibility of supervising the country, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that Lone would have been struggling now, and Lone should be most grateful to you. โ
Guo Renliang saw that the prince's words of gratitude were very sincere. His heart became more and more happy, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be polite, if you say that it is difficult to move in the court now, it is King Fu who has entered the Ministry of Officials." He can't resist the case of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and let Xiaoyao disappear. It's ridiculous that he doesn't have the courage to do so, haha......"
When the prince, who had always maintained a smiling expression, heard this, his face suddenly sank, stared at Guo Renliang for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Shilang, is it too strong to drink, so you lost your words?" โ
Guo Renliang was at a loss by the prince's cold gaze, and he was covered in a cold sweat, hearing the prince say this, he couldn't figure out where he had said the wrong thing just now, and he couldn't help but be frightened with cold hands and feet, and subconsciously blurted out: "No...... No......"
The crown prince raised his eyebrows, and said in a slightly angry voice: "No? King Fu is the fourth brother of Lonely, Lone has been very affectionate with him since he was a child, and his entry into the Ministry of Officials is also the wise decision of his father. In this way, how can you allow you to offend the majesty of my heavenly family and insult my royal brothers? โ
In the end, the crown prince was already full of voice.
Guo Renliang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he didn't care about losing face in front of many ministers, so he knelt on the ground and crawled to the middle of the front hall with his hands and feet, and said with a pale face: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins!" Weichen did lose his words after drinking, and Weichen died! โ
The prince sighed: "The same palace is a minister, it is all fate, you and I are both loyal ministers of my father, we should work together, unite as one, share worries for my father, and seek benefits for the people, why bother for that small power struggle, and make it like fire and water, which makes my father more troubled and makes the world more chaotic?" They have all read the books of the sages, and the gentleman is cautious in his words and deeds, so he doesn't have to teach you alone, right? Lord Guo, don't lose your words in the future, some words are not just casual words, adults should take this as a warning. โ
Guo Renliang sweated profusely and kowtowed a few times and retreated to his seat.
At this time, the ministers became active, and praised the prince for his benevolence and benevolence, brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood, and the state has such a benevolent and virtuous prince, and the prosperity of the Chinese Dynasty is just around the corner.
The prince smiled slightly, then clapped his hands, and the dancers who had just retreated changed into a more explicit and bewitching costume, walked up to the hall with light steps, and then each sat next to a minister, pouring wine and cloth dishes for the ministers, and occasionally seemed to do some teasing and seducing small actions inadvertently, the ministers were so happy that they were red, and they sang in a low voice for a while, and the front hall was a pink ********** then Fan Rui coughed twice in a low voice behind the screen behind the prince. The prince confessed his guilt without changing his face, and then got up and walked behind the screen.
The two walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, and Fan Rui smiled: "These ministers are also interesting......
The prince shook his head and said, "Why did the gentleman say it so implicitly? These people are stupid as pigs! Knowing that Gu had not yet torn his face with King Fu, he actually said irresponsible remarks to King Fu in front of Gu, I really don't know how he became an official......"
Fan Rui said with a smile: "The prince understands in his heart, and today is the opportunity to reprimand Lord Guo to win a good reputation for His Royal Highness." โ
Immediately, Fan Rui's face turned solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let it go...... I'm back in Beijing. โ
The prince frowned and said in a deep voice, "When did it happen?" โ
"Beijing, who entered at night tonight, was announced by the emperor to enter the forbidden palace before he returned home."
The prince suddenly had a relieved expression on his face: "It's good that he comes back alive, there are rumors in the court and among the people that it is Lone who secretly killed Ren Xiaoyao." Now that the rumors are self-defeating, there is no need to be tied to doing things alone. โ
Fan Rui hurriedly said: "Your Highness should not be careless, Ren Xiaoyao will return to Beijing, it will also be a mixed matter for His Highness, as soon as he comes back." Your Highness has one more enemy above the court to contend with you. Now, although half of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have stood with you, the emperor certainly does not want to see such a one-sided situation, and if you come back, the emperor will definitely make another adjustment to the situation in the DPRK. Until you ascend the throne, the emperor will not let your power in the court expand too much. โ
When the prince heard this, his feminine and handsome face flashed with thick hatred, his mouth opened, and he finally held back. Didn't say anything.
Fan Rui looked at the prince's demeanor in his eyes, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the situation is more complicated than before, Ren Xiaoyao is in charge of the power of supervising hundreds of officials, and King Fu is in charge of the ministry, this is just it, the most troublesome thing is that the two princes of King Shou and King Ying have also returned to the capital, obviously wanting to get a piece of the pie when the throne is handed over." His Royal Highness's position as the prince is too conspicuous, and there are too many people who covet it, so His Highness must be on guard! โ
The prince's face became even more gloomy, and he said angrily: "The eldest son of Gu Naiyan, from the main palace." The position of the crown prince was set by my father ten years ago, and this position was originally mine! Why are they fighting with me! These shameless and despicable people! โ
Fan Rui sighed and said, "But the problem is that the emperor's attitude is also very unclear now!" King Shou and King Ying entered Beijing without being ordered by the edict, according to the laws of our dynasty. The vassal king entered Beijing privately to punish him for rebellion, but they said to the outside world that they would return to Beijing to recuperate. When the emperor found out, he just reprimanded them, and did not order them to return to the domain, the emperor has a deep meaning! I'm afraid that the rumors outside are true, and the emperor may ...... It's still undecided. Your Royal Highness, don't forget, on the night of Pan Rebellious's rebellion, you entered the Shence military camp late at night, and forced yourself to press Liu Changsheng to hold the troops still, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although the emperor did not catch your evidence, but this matter has also become a stinger in the emperor's heart, if you don't pull it out, it will be difficult to live day and night......"
The prince's face turned pale when he heard this, and his hands and feet suddenly became extremely cold, yes, the most ruthless emperor family, since ancient times, there have been fewer cases of father and son and brother killing each other? was secretly stabbed by the prince who had high hopes for him, which emperor could accept it? Even if the emperor does not have enough evidence in his hands, as long as there is always suspicion in his heart, even if he, the crown prince, is the end, the emperor will never let such a vicious person take over his throne.
After the suppression of Pan Rebellious's rebellion, King Fu entered the Ministry of Officials, Ren Xiaoyao took power, King Shou and King Ying entered Beijing without edict, and the emperor also turned a blind eye.
What to do? Losing the dazzling aura of the crown prince, is he still him? Money, fame, power, beauty...... These things he has now, the same thing left him, accustomed to the luxurious life in the ivory tower, how can he survive after losing everything? What other beliefs does he have to live?
Looking for an opportunity to start an incident in a hurry like Pan Wenyuan? Or hold back and plan before you act?
Behind the noisy and laughing front hall screen, the crown prince and Fan Rui fell into deep thought.
--------------------------------------
The guards at the West Palace Gate were still as strict as ever.
Ren Xiaoyao got out of the carriage, looked at the two palace gates made of tall and thick solid iron, sighed, and muttered: "The last time I came out after entering the palace, I was inexplicably tied up with a ticket, this time there won't be any moths, right?" โ
Thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly grabbed Cao's father-in-law's hand, stuffed him with a silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law of Annoyance sent someone to my house for a trip, please Princess Changping send my killer brother to me and wait here, I am the important weapon of the country, I can't be tied up anymore, and if I am tied again, I will have no face to live......"
Gonggong Cao unceremoniously accepted the silver ticket, showed a smile full of wrinkles like a chrysanthemum, and said attentively: "Hou Ye doesn't have to worry about it, the emperor has decreed, he has dispatched more than a dozen forbidden masters to you, and three hundred elite forbidden troops to protect the safety of Hou Ye at any time, this is not all, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping has also allocated two hundred female guards, and will immediately wait for you outside the palace gate, Hou Ye will put his heart in his stomach, your safety in the capital." Nothing goes wrong from now on. โ
Ren Xiaoyao was overjoyed when he heard this, this time he was majestic, and there were more than 500 people around him, who would dare to have an opinion on the ground of the capital with a bird cage in the future. Painful! Hundreds of people surrounded him. Molesting women from good families on the street, presumably fellow women should not dare to resist, right? They have to pose whatever they want, and the posture is not standard. I won't be flirting anymore, just call the next one......
Seeing that Cao Gongcheng took the silver ticket he sent into his sleeve, Ren Xiaoyao didn't feel a little painful, and he got a hundred taels after a few words, and this old guy was too shameless to make money. Why can't you learn more from me, who is as honest as tofu?
After Cao's father-in-law finished speaking, he smiled at Ren Xiaoyao and said: "Master Fang, the palace gate has arrived, you know the road, our family will not take you in, ouch, just now the carriage can scatter our family's old bones, our family has to go to the number room to lie down for a while, slack, our family will retire first." โ
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and nodded. Lian Dao's father-in-law worked hard. Then he walked towards the palace gate alone, walked a few steps and suddenly woke up, slapped his thigh, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Hey, Gonggong Cao." The three hundred forbidden troops, and the big internal masters, who will pay them? If you want me to send it, I won't do it! I'd rather be tied up again......"
Gonggong Cao has long since disappeared. Ren Yao turned his head stupidly, damn! It's been calculated again! Pinch your fingers casually. I spend thousands of taels of silver every month, and my family is the richest man in the Hua Dynasty. I can't afford to toss it like this, it seems that I have to think of ways to make money in the future, and I went down the bandit mountain after a trip, and before I knew it, I seemed to be poor again, and making money was imminent.
Entering the palace gate of the outer city of the palace, looking at the large and small palaces in front of him, it still looks majestic and solemn in the night, and there is a royal luxury that makes people awe from the bottom of their hearts, Ren Xiaoyao is hard to hold back the excitement in his heart, this place where the world's power and wealth are most concentrated, Lao Tzu is finally back! A farewell and a half moon, like a world away, a sudden prosperity, how can you not teach people to enter heaven?
Ren Xiaoyao smiled happily, and his mood suddenly became very good. Hurry up and say hello to the emperor, just say a few words, and hurry home, my father and mother, my wife and wife are waiting for me at home.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao was like a happy bird, and rushed towards the imperial study alone, shouting briskly: "The emperor's old man, Weichen's son-in-law, I'm back!" I'm coming to see you......"
The joyful and unrestrained sound echoed in the brightly lit palace square, and a few jackdaws perched on the roof of the palace were so frightened that they flapped their wings and soared into the sky, and flew into the unknown distance in terror.
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Ren Xiaoyao with some excitement, and his wrinkled old face stretched out as if it was blown by the spring breeze.
Ren Xiaoyao, a plain and unscrupulous young man, his disappearance has touched the hearts of too many people, even including this high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the emperor excitedly, and before he could speak, he cried first, and said sadly: "Your Majesty...... Woo, you're alive to see Wechen......"
"Huh?" When the emperor heard this, his face was not good.
"Ahh Wechen is wrong, Wechen can be regarded as alive to see you...... Woohoo......"
"Hehe, it's good to come back safely, it's good to be safe!" The emperor stroked his long beard lightly and laughed heartily.
Ren Xiaoyao saw that the emperor was so happy, and hurriedly lost no time in crying: "Your Majesty, Weichen is nine deaths this time, nine deaths!" โโShould the imperial court give some subsidies to the micro-ministers? 108,000 will do......"
The emperor's laughter was like someone choking his neck, and it suddenly stopped, and Long Yan turned into a pig's liver color, choking with anger, holding his chest and pointing at Ren Xiaoyao and shivering.
Ren Xiaoyao said with a worried face: "Your Majesty...... Are you alright? Don't get excited......"
When the emperor heard this, he felt that the three corpses were violent, and the joy of seeing Ren Yao at first glance had long been gone, and now he just wanted to pull this guy out and take a hundred court rods seriously.
The emperor calmed his breath, didn't answer his words, turned his face flat, glared at him fiercely, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Are you willing to go back to Beijing?" I heard that you are very prosperous and majestic in Qinglong Mountain, why did you come back so early? โ
Ren Xiaoyao listened to the emperor's unkind tone, and secretly shouted in his heart, I just entered the city, won't the emperor plan to settle accounts with me, right? The imperial court ordered officials to change their careers to become bandits, which is not big or small...... Accusation?
Cautiously glanced at the emperor's face, seeing that his face was calm, but the corners of his mouth were a little intriguing, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel even more confused, what does the old man mean?
Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen, this bandit is for fun, Weichen was tied up on the mountain, afraid of being abused by the bandits, so he was vain and wronged, and he was bored on the mountain, making do with the next day, and by the way, he did something that was inconvenient to do when he was an official......"
The emperor was surprised: "Is there anything inconvenient for you to do when you become an official?" โ
Ren Xiaoyao patted his thigh and said, "There are too many things that are inconvenient to do!" My ideal life is completely different from this......"
"Oh? So what is your ideal life? The emperor's tone was gloomy and compassionate, and it was a little unkind.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't realize it, he licked his lips excitedly when he heard this, tilted his head in a longing shape, and his eyes exuded a yearning light: "My ideal life is to pick up a load of dung on the street every day, and pour a sco......op on him head-on if anyone is not pleasing to the eye."
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
The emperor was furious: "What kind of bastard ideal are you? โ
Ren Xiaoyao was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said, "Weichen is wrong......
The emperor sighed and said: "You disappeared this time, everyone is very worried, in the future, you should be cautious in everything, don't follow other people's ways, and don't say that the court and the people need you to serve, before you talk and do things, you think more about my Mi'er, these days, it's really hard for her, you have to treat her well......"
Ren Xiaoyao honestly complimented him.
"The person who kidnapped you, I heard that you have been found, have you been escorted back to the capital?"
"It is estimated that it will be soon, Weichen has confessed to Wen Sen, secretly got him out of the bandit's den, and escorted him to the capital."
The emperor's eyes flashed with a bit of compelling light, and he said in a gloomy tone: "After being escorted back to the capital, you and the shadow must take strict care of him, beware of him being killed, seize the time to interrogate him day and night, find out who is behind this matter, and I will punish him severely!" (To be continued.) )
