Emperor Hongsheng has 5,000 elites in his hands, and he does not show mountain dew on weekdays, only hiding in a secluded place at the foot of the West Mountain, which is just a stone's throw away from the palace.

These people are in order to defeat the opponent unprepared at the emergency moment when the emperor is in danger, and when Emperor Hongsheng handed over the tiger talisman of the Xishan Forbidden Army to Tu Yuansheng, he had the intention of entrusting his life to him.

"My country, never allow Tu Yuanhui to get involved, I raised it with my own hands, it is a wolf, I want to swallow my life!" Emperor Hongsheng said to Tu Yuanye: "Someone told me that don't look at Tu Yuanhui's current upper hand, he is actually an incompetent person, shrinking from handling political affairs, and even more submissive to ministers, what is the point of this kind of person, I can't let the country lose in his hands." ”

"The emperor is old, and the prince is already the prince, so it's better for you to let it go," Tu Yuansheng didn't think that Tu Yuanhui was the most stable court now based on benevolence and harmony.

He had to persuade with good words: "This group of people in Xishan, the sons will let them guard the safety of the palace and ensure that their father will not encounter any danger." ”

"Danger? I don't care! Emperor Hongsheng waved his hand, "It's just that my heart is not convinced, in this world, I have ruled for decades, why is it that now I have returned to Tu Yuanhui for no reason, such an arrogant and ambitious person, what ability does he have to make the world return to his heart?" I will take back my power, and I will not allow him to be ruined. ”

What's more, the current Tu Yuanhui is not his crown prince, but his father who he hates and fears the most. He was not reconciled at all.

Tu Yuansheng didn't think that 5,000 soldiers and horses could turn the situation back again, only the "rescue" Pan Yi had 30,000 Gyeonggi guards under his command, not to mention that the men and horses in the military department were all in the hands of the prince.

As a result, Tu Yuansheng thought of Zhou Tong who followed him from the Internal Affairs Office to the Ministry of War, getting along like a friend, he didn't expect that this person was actually a confidant of Tu Yuanhui, Tu Yuansheng couldn't help but be afraid, he wanted to come to Tu Yuanhui to take this position, I am afraid that it has been arranged for many years, isn't it already waiting for this ending?

Emperor Hongsheng's dignity is now damaged, I am afraid that he will not swallow this breath, but Tu Yuansheng does not want to send this death in vain, but it is his biological father who forced him, and he can't run to tell Tu Yuanhui and betray Emperor Hongsheng, you must know that Tu Yuansheng is a person who was born and died in the killing field, and he can't do such villain behavior, and he can only respond to it temporarily.

"Obey the emperor's will!" Tu Yuansheng gritted his teeth and hugged his fists.

Emperor Hongsheng was finally satisfied, "You have led troops to fight for many years, and I can rest assured that my people are in your hands, but this disciple Yuanhui is very cunning, I heard that the capital has been all over his eyeliner, it is the Xishan Palace, and it is not quiet, you must be careful, this is my last battle, and it is also a key battle for whether you can become the prince, only win and not lose!" ”

"I wonder what the emperor is going to do?" Tu Yuansheng felt that his head was starting to hurt, and he didn't understand why he was fighting with his son in the last years of the Hongsheng Emperor's capital, and now that he was caught in the middle, he didn't know how to end this matter properly.

"Kill the apprentice Yuanhui!" Emperor Hongsheng popped out a few words from between his teeth.

Emperor Hongsheng actually wanted him to kill his brother, Tu Yuansheng couldn't help but be shocked, "You mean ......" Tu Yuansheng couldn't help but persuade: "Can you leave the imperial brother's life and force him to let go of power!"

"Woman's kindness! If I don't kill him, he will kill me! Emperor Hongsheng said in his heart, this son looks brave, but he lacks his own decisiveness, and he has to be promoted to become the prince in the future, and he has to bring another belt, so he scolded again, "Just your indecisiveness, how can I let go and pass on the throne to you?" ”

"Please think twice." Tu Yuansheng sighed in his heart, if he wanted to step on someone else's corpse to get on the throne, he would rather not be the emperor.

Emperor Hongsheng glared at Tu Yuansheng twice, and said, "You go down first, and then I think about how to act?" Someone will come looking for you. ”

"Your Majesty, Erchen has made an excerpt to the imperial brother today and is preparing to return to southern Sichuan," Tu Yuansheng thought of a reason for prevarication at this time, "This southern Sichuan has not been calm. “

"Will he let you go?" Emperor Hongsheng squinted at Tu Yuansheng.

Tu Yuansheng shook his head.

"It's good if I don't let you go," Emperor Hongsheng smiled, "It's just conducive to our actions, you don't have to go to this southern Sichuan, and when I ask the government again, the capital will be where you can use it." ”

Out of the Xishan Palace, Tu Yuansheng was a stomach full of troubles, and he felt a little panicked in his heart, and felt that it was boring to go back to the house, so he took a horse and went to Xiangyang Building, thinking about drinking a few cups to relieve his worries, and it was best to get drunk and rest.

When he sat down in the private seat and the wine and food were served, Tu Yuansheng picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, thinking that after he got drunk, he would not have so many worries.

It's just that the wine is sad, but it is even more sad, Tu Yuansheng is depressed in his heart, and he hated it for a while, and smashed the wine jug to the ground.

"Yo, who is the third brother angry with!" A young man leaned against the door of the private room, smiling at Tu Yuansheng.

Tu Yuansheng turned his head sideways, looked at the person with drunken eyes, only felt very familiar, but couldn't think of who it was, after pondering for a long time, Tu Yuansheng stood up violently and shouted, "Little Sixteen!" ”

"Third brother!" Tu Yuanting nodded, "I'm back." ”

"You kid, you have grown so tall, your appearance has changed!" Tu Yuansheng punched Tu Yuanting on the shoulder.

"The third brother hasn't changed." Tu Yuanting turned his head and instructed Xiao Er to pick up the things on the ground, add wine and food, and said: "King Fu is old, and he wants to return to his roots, so I ask for a decree to come back first to take the lead, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in the capital, I saw the third brother first." ”

"Don't you think about the pig's trotters in Xiangyang Building?" Tu Yuansheng's mood was obviously much better because he saw Tu Yuanting, he casually made a joke, pressed Tu Yuanting's shoulder again, and said: "Sure enough, it's a young man, this skeleton is sturdy, I think the two of Fu Wang should take care of it well." ”

Tu Yuanting is now sixteen years old, and he is very handsome.

He smiled and said: "The two of them treat their younger brothers like parents and children, and I have followed King Fu to the battlefield since I was ten years old, and it is really happier than messing around in the palace." ”

"It's good to be back!" Tu Yuansheng looked at the sixteenth brother, and couldn't help but sigh, the brothers have fallen apart, and they no longer sit together and drink together.

"I heard that the third brother is called the king of southern Sichuan, but I didn't expect you to return to the capital, it seems that our brothers are destined." Tu Yuanting toasted Tu Yuansheng.

Tu Yuansheng had a wry smile on his face, "It's hard to say!" ”

"Look at the third brother's unhappy look?" Tu Yuanting's eyes flashed, and he inquired with some curiosity.

"Third brother!" Tu Yuansheng wanted to talk but couldn't, so he could only sigh, "I miss my southern Sichuan!" ”

Tu Yuanting's eyes flashed, but seeing that Tu Yuansheng didn't say anything anymore, he could only accompany him to drink.

***

Early this morning, Xiao Dezi happily led Tu Yuanting into the East Palace, and said loudly outside the study: "Lord Prince, Master Sixteen is back!" ”

"Call in!" Tu Yuanhui answered in the room, and he could hear that he was very happy.

Tu Yuanting entered the inside with a golden knife, and hugged his fist at Tu Yuanhui, who was sitting behind the bookcase: "Brother see the prince!" ”

Tu Yuanhui still maintained his majesty, and he didn't see much excitement, and looked at Tu Yuanting for a long time before he said, "This is coming back quite quickly?" ”

"After getting the letter from the prince, the younger brother said goodbye to King Fu, and then came back," Tu Yuanting looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The men and horses are all stopped thirty miles away and are on standby, waiting for the prince's dispatch at any time." ”

"Uncle Fu Wang is a happy person," Tu Yuanhui nodded, "Yuan Ting, Lone shouldn't have bothered King Fu, but now that Lone's political program is not stable, there are frequent movements in the garrisons around the country, I think someone is stirring up trouble behind, only your father and son, Lone can be trusted, and the matter of pacifying the place will depend on you later!" ”

"Don't worry, the prince's adoptive father said that it was thanks to your mediation that he got such a good son as his brother, and now he has to enjoy his family, and this favor should be repaid."

Tu Yuanhui smiled for a while, "Little Sixteen can complain about the eldest brother, but he has to send you to the bitter cold land in the northwest?" ”

"To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I was a little reluctant to let go of the prosperity of the capital," Tu Yuanting said with a smile: "I just didn't expect that when I went to the northwest, it was the place where men should go, and the capital was really too small." ”

Tu Yuanhui nodded him with his hand and said with a smile: "In this case, go to the post house first, at the end of the Fuwang Mansion, I will let people clean it up for you in a few days." ”

"Prince Xie." Tu Yuanting hugged his fists, and suddenly smiled again: "Speaking of returning to Beijing today, the first brother I saw was the third brother, who was drinking alone in Xiangyang Tower!" ”

"Oh?" Tu Yuanhui rubbed his forehead, "He's quite empty." "In fact, someone has already come to report, saying that after Tu Yuansheng left from him, he went to the Northwest Palace again, and when he came out, his face was very bad, and he went straight to Xiangyang Tower, I am afraid that Emperor Hongsheng said something to him again, Tu Yuanhui sneered, Zuo just wanted Tu Yuansheng to fight with himself.

Tu Yuanting said with a smile: "Looking at the third brother's sad face, he clamored and said that he wanted to go back to southern Sichuan. ”

"Back to Chuannan?" Tu Yuanhui said in a low voice, I heard that Emperor Hongsheng of Xishan Palace has recently been treated, and his condition has improved, but people are also starting to be restless, Tu Yuanhui thought, perhaps, it is time to collect this pocket.

"Prince, can my little brother meet the imperial sister-in-law?" Tu Yuanting's words interrupted Tu Yuanhui's contemplation.

"Your imperial sister-in-law is now living in Zhuangzi with the children," Tu Yuanhui thought for a while and replied to him, "The day after tomorrow, you will go to see them alone, you will be with Gu, by the way, since you are back, don't forget to go to the Northwest Palace to see the emperor and listen to what he has to say to you." ”

"Brother Chen knows, so he will go down." Tu Yuanting nodded knowingly and retired.

Xiao Dezi sent Tu Yuanting outside the East Palace, and stood under the steps, Tu Yuanting looked around and sighed, "This place is the same as before, and almost seven or eight years have passed in a blink of an eye." ”

"The sixteenth master is now a general, but it's not like the days will pass in the blink of an eye." Xiao Dezi echoed.

"Xiao Dezi, how is my imperial sister-in-law now?" Tu Yuanting originally wanted to inquire with Tu Yuanhui, but now Tu Yuanhui has added a bit of awe-inspiring air, which makes Tu Yuanting a little afraid to make a mistake, always afraid that he will say the wrong thing and will be scolded by Tu Yuanhui.

"Mother, it's fine." Xiao Dezi replied, but he thought that it was not easy for the prince and the prince to talk over the years, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Tu Yuanting looked at him and didn't continue to ask.

Xiao Dezi went back to the study to resume his life, and saw that the tea in front of Tu Yuanhui was out of heat, so he couldn't help but glare at the little eunuch who was waiting on the side, and then personally took the cup out and prepared to change it again, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw a female official standing outside.

"Why did Lady Jia come here today?" Xiao Dezi handed the things in his hand to the little palace maid next to him, and asked Jia Yuanchun with a smile.

"Father-in-law, the slave wants to ask to see the prince, please excuse me." Jia Yuanchun said hesitantly.

Jia Yuanchun was originally serving by Zhen Guifei's side, but Zhen Guifei and the emperor were driven to the palace, and somehow, this one actually leaned on the imperial concubine, and then transferred her to the palace.

This imperial concubine's surname is He, and she is the younger sister of Mrs. Qian, that is, the aunt of Tu Yuanhui's biological mother.

This imperial concubine usually doesn't care about things, she just lives her life happily, Tu Yuanhui saw that she liked Jia Yuanchun, so he didn't sweep her temperament.

Today, I actually saw Jia Yuanchun come to this East Palace with a tray!

Xiao Dezi looked at her, because she was liked by the imperial concubine, so the prince specially rewarded her with a lot of good things, and now she appears here, and she looks dressed well.

Xiao Dezi sneered in his heart, he didn't have to think about it, he knew what Jia Yuanchun had in mind.

Not to mention that the crown princess is only the crown princess in his heart now, even if the prince is still a romantic person, he will not like the woman who wanted to hook up with his brother before.

"I don't know what happened to the female officer?" Seeing Jia Yuanchun's sad face, Xiao Dezi looked at the face of the emperor and concubine and wanted to ask.

"Father-in-law," Jia Yuanchun raised his head and asked, "The slave wants to ......" Jia Yuanchun stopped talking, thinking that he was reluctant to talk to Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi's heart was even more unhappy. 166 Reading Network
