"Prince Qi is back!"

"Our great heroes of Yasukuni are about to enter the city!"

……

Ordinary people rushed to tell each other, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Many enthusiastic merchants have already set up red firecrackers, and as long as the prince of Qi enters the capital, he will immediately light them to celebrate.

The common people were happy, and so was Emperor Jing. In order to greet this hard-working imperial brother, he even went to the west gate to greet him in person.

"The royal brother is above, and he is bowed by the subordinate brother three times." Prince Qi appeared in front of Emperor Jing. Today, he deliberately put on that red robe. "The younger brother of the Western Expedition was in danger, and he specially returned to Beijing to restore his life."

The place where Emperor Jing drove was located on the city wall, at this moment, he was sitting on a wide jade chair, and greeted the prince of Qi with a smile, "The emperor's brother is brave and undiminished, and the soldiers who surrendered without a fight are my great heroes of Yasukuni, and he will be rewarded with 10 million taels of gold, two other courtyards, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds." ”

"Thank you." After saying this, Prince Qi added another sentence, which made Emperor Jing's smile slowly solidify.

Qi Wang Ye said, "The merit of the conquest of the Western Regions, the ministers did not dare to monopolize it, and all the officers and soldiers and generals made plans and fought bloodily, each of them was a meritorious minister, and the ministers and brothers implored the imperial brother to agree, let them all enter the city, and parade in the city for a day, showing the demeanor of the officers and soldiers of the Yasukuni Ranks." ”

"Is this the idea of the emperor's brother, or the thoughts of the soldiers?" Emperor Jing asked.

Since ancient times, soldiers are not allowed to enter Beijing unless they are called, firstly, to ensure the safety of the royal family in the capital, especially the emperor's younger brother, and secondly, the soldiers are stationed in various places, which is also a deterrent to other countries. The soldiers brought back by Prince Qi this time were 300,000 people, in addition to the soldiers and horses in the training ground in the western suburbs, as well as his old subordinates.

Prince Qi smiled, "Of course, it's the idea of the soldiers." ”

"The emperor's brother is so confused, soldiers are not allowed to enter Beijing at will, this is the rule left by the ancestors, how can it be broken. These officers and soldiers followed the emperor's brother from birth to death, and they were extremely sincere to the emperor's brother, thinking that as long as the emperor's brother explained, they would definitely give up the idea of entering the city. "Emperor Jing said.

This time, Prince Qi did not compromise, he stood in place, his voice was sonorous and powerful, "Brother Huang is serious, although these officers and soldiers have followed their ministers for many years, they are all the army of Yasukuni, and there is only one person in their hearts, and that is the current Holy Lord." The courtiers had told them that officers and soldiers were not allowed to enter the city, but they said that the Holy God had treated them kindly, and this little wish should be fulfilled. ”

"Many of them have relatives in the capital, and they haven't seen them for several years and miss them very much, and the imperial brother has always been kind and the most sympathetic to the soldiers, and I don't want them to be sad and sad."

"The rules of the ancestors can't be broken, this time I can only wronged the soldiers." Emperor Jing's attitude was also very clear, "Come, come, come, today is here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, let's have a few drinks, don't get drunk and don't return." After saying that, he ordered someone to put on the fragrant fine wine.

Prince Qi still stood in place, did not sit down, did not serve a cup, "Brother Huang, please forgive the courtiers for saying bluntly, if the soldiers cannot enter the city to unite with their relatives, the courtiers will have no shame to face them, and can only live outside the city like them." ”

The prince of Qi, who conquered the Western Regions, refused to enter the city and lived outside the city.

Emperor Jing's complexion changed sharply, with a cold aura, such an Emperor Jing, Prince Qi had not seen him for many years. "Brother Huang, this is threatening me?" He rarely calls himself "I" in front of Prince Qi, which shows that he is in a bad mood at this time.

Prince Qi said, "Even if you lend ten guts to your courtiers, you don't dare to threaten the emperor." ”

"Don't dare to threaten? I see you can do anything! Emperor Jing's words were like a sharp knife, thrown at the prince of Qi.

Prince Qi no longer pretended, stared at the imperial brother in front of him who had suppressed him all his life, and sneered, "What dare the courtier brother do, what he doesn't dare to do, he can't hide the eyes of the imperial brother at all." The younger brother has been obedient all his life, only this time, is the royal brother not allowed it? ”

Emperor Jing was heartbroken, "The emperor's brother is so confused, what do you want now, why are you aggressive?" I inherited the unification, you are unwilling, I don't know, but do you know, this position is not so easy to sit. When my father was alive, he said that you are very resourceful, and you are especially good at leading troops to fight, but when it comes to governing the country, you are subservient to me. ”

"Bow down to you? Don't you look at what you have done for the people of Yasukuni over the years? "Prince Qi didn't expect that he, the imperial brother who didn't learn or care about the government, would boast that he was good at governing the country. If he is good at governing the country, how can he let Hu Guifei easily control the situation between the DPRK and China?

"In your eyes, I'm a mediocre dumb king?" Emperor Jing asked rhetorically.

"Not really." Lord Qi was telling the truth.

"In that case, why do you think you're more suitable for this position?" Emperor Jing pressed forward step by step.

"With them." Hu Guifei's voice sounded.

Hu Guifei was wearing a red long skirt with a golden phoenix embroidered on the skirt, she was originally a superb beauty, at this moment, with a bit of the momentum of a winner, it seems that the power of the high has reached her hands, and Emperor Jing is just an insignificant person, "Over the years, the emperor has been addicted to wine, ignoring the government and politics, and the people are miserable." You listen to slander, kill innocents indiscriminately, and kill the loyal and good, one by one, one by one, all of them are recorded. For the sake of the safety of Yasukuni and the suffering of the people, they have paid all their life's efforts, but what have they gained, they have been demoted, exiled, and even ruined. ”

Standing behind Hu Guifei are the officials who have been demoted or exiled over the years, including the founding fathers, the nationally renowned literati and writers, the generals who fought on the battlefield, and the officials who risked their heads to intercede for the common people......

"Brother Huang, it is not easy for the ancestors to open the country, since you can't take care of the world, why don't you let your courtiers help you share the burden." Prince Qi thought of his father's kindness to him during his lifetime, and he was even more convinced that the imperial brother must have used some unsavory tricks to get the throne, but it was a pity that he respected the imperial brother in the first half of his life, if he had started to fight in the army, his life might be a different scene, he would become a brave and warlike emperor like the founding emperor, he would expand the territory of Yasukuni, and he would get his beloved woman.

Emperor Jing's face was solemn, he thought for a long time, as if he had made a great determination, at this moment, his face was no longer the peace of the past, but a kind of slaughter, he glanced at the prince of Qi, Hu Guifei, all the ministers and the people of the capital who witnessed this farce, "Is the imperial brother planning to force the palace to rebel today?" Do you think you can really take it all out of my hands? ”
