Chapter 144: Runan Palace
The strategist behind Zheng Jingming stopped: "Shizi, don't! Although the matter of Yangcheng is urgent, what you are doing now is a major matter that the emperor secretly ordered! One is related to the life and future of the third prince, and the other is related to the future of the country, which one is more important in the emperor's mind, you know better than the villain! ”
"Shizi, please think about it, if you have done this, even if the third prince has committed something, the emperor will definitely take a light sentence on your merits, and maybe, he will take the initiative to find a scapegoat and take this responsibility for the third prince, why do you need to let go of the things in front of you and deliberately return to Yangcheng?"
When the counsellor had finished speaking, he stood aside with his hands bowed and said no more. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Jingming pursed his lips and calmed down. The strategist was right, even if he went to Yangcheng at this moment, he might not be able to find out the ins and outs of the seal matter in a short period of time, and he might not be able to help much.
Zheng Jingming closed his eyes helplessly, this trip specially took the third brother with him, and asked the emperor for the grace of making the third brother temporarily take over the city guard, just to seek a good future for the third brother. Yangcheng is just a small town, and has been harassed by the rogues several times, with the well-trained Zheng Jiajun, who is a hundred, even if the third brother doesn't do anything, and only sleeps lazily and drinks tea all day long...... This is even more serious than the fault of Helian County for losing the captive of King Haven that day......
Zheng Jingming took off the saber at his waist and said to the left and right: "That's it, go to the Qingwang Mansion for a banquet tonight as promised." You are well prepared and everything goes according to plan. ”
The strategist who persuaded him stepped forward and said, "The son of the world is wise. It's just that...... The villain still has one thing, and it is necessary to remind the prince that the wife of the ninth son of King Qing is the daughter of General Huo Qiang, who has been married to Runan for less than half a year, and the emperor's will does not mention the disposal of her...... The Zhenguo Mansion and General Huo each led a side of soldiers and horses, and they have not been on good terms for a long time, if they can leave their women alive this time...... General Huo is grateful for the kindness of the Zhenguo Mansion, and maybe he will be able to turn enemies into friends......"
Zheng Jingming nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say." You take a team of people to deal with the family members in the backyard of King Qing's Mansion. ”
The strategist hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for the trust of the prince, the villain will not be dishonored!" ”
Zheng Jingming didn't say anything more, and called the boy Changsheng, "Change my clothes for me." ”
Changsheng took off a dark purple satin robe from the screen, walked to Zheng Jingming's side, bit his lip, and wanted to say something several times, but he never said it.
Zheng Jingming glanced at him and said, "Changsheng, what do you want to say, there is no one else now, you say." ”
"Shizi, the villain knows that he shouldn't talk too much. It's just that...... Last time in Guozhen, the prince said that he would teach the third prince some lessons, and the villain was not allowed to come forward to rescue the third prince, but only guarded secretly outside the mansion of the He family, and the result was ...... Those who pretend to be gods...... scared the third son into a serious illness. The third prince went to Yangcheng with illness, but now his illness has not recovered, and this incident happened again...... If you refuse to look at it again, you are afraid of ...... I'm afraid that the third son will ...... More hit......"
Changsheng finished timidly, stealing a glance at Zheng Jingming's expression. This lord has always been strict, and he rarely has a good face for his cousin, knowing that he was kidnapped, although he secretly arranged for men and horses to guard, but he preferred to suffer some hardships and lessons himself before he was willing to come to the rescue...... This master himself is a military general, and everyone else is generally wear-resistant like him, but he doesn't want to think that the third master is a literati who has no power to restrain chickens.
"Immortality!" Zheng Jingming said with a smile, "This time, I went out to play with your third son for a few days, and you care about him more than me, who is a brother!" Such...... You go to Yang City and take a look at him! lest you stay by my side, thinking of him in your heart, and your expression is as serious as a bitter melon, so that people will not be happy in their hearts! ”
Changsheng sneered and said: "Lord Shizi, you are thinking about the third prince and want to send a villain to visit, but you say as if it has nothing to do with you!" ”
Zheng Jingming sighed: "Changsheng, you are young, but you understand things better than my stupid brother. I'm afraid that in his mind, I'm just a fierce outsider who only yells at him and doesn't care about him......"
On the streets of Runan in the evening, the sun was melting gold, and Zheng Jingming took a servant in Tsing Yi and came to the gate of King Qing's Mansion on horseback.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, King Runan (King Qing) greeted him with a smile on his face, "Ah, a rare guest!" Originally, I heard that the imperial court sent the prince of Zhenguo to Yangcheng to quell the turmoil, and the king also privately thought about whether he could visit the prince without disturbing the prince's business, but he didn't expect the prince to take the initiative to come to Runan! This king has been away from Beijing for a long time, how is the prince of Zhenguo? ”
Zheng Jingming knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully: "The lower official greets the prince!" Grandfather is all right, thank you for remembering! ”
King Runan said: "The prince is too outside!" The king is not in the capital, and I don't remember the etiquette in the palace for a long time. ”
Zheng Jingming stood up after thanking him repeatedly, and while greeting the king of Runan, he quietly looked at the people around him. Several extraordinary-dressed brocade princes are the children and grandchildren of the king of Runan, and there are no guards or generals as far as the eye can see, which shows that the king of Runan has done enough to gossip with the grandson of the "old friend town Guogong" and talk about old things. But as a master of martial arts all year round, he can see that those servants who shuttle back and forth to serve on the side are all skilled in martial arts.
Thinking about it, a close minister of the Son of Heaven who was responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city was suddenly assigned to such a distant place to stabilize a small city, and the king of Runan was stupid, and he should have guessed the purpose of this person.
Therefore, the king of Runan tried to put on an unsuspecting appearance, and tried to convey to the Son of Heaven through him that he had no ambition to fight for that throne at all, and to be an idle prince in a remote corner, which made him feel more comfortable.
And the Qionghua jade tree in the Runan Palace, the scenery is carved, and Zheng Jingming is inevitably speechless, the King of Runan has lived in Runan for many years, and he is the emperor of the soil here, not necessarily inferior to the one on the dragon throne in the imperial city, at least the luxury and comfort of the Runan Palace, which is by no means inferior to the palace.
Zheng Jingming sat down with the king of Runan, Wang Shizi, and the kings of the small counties, and during the chat, he mentioned that the only daughter of the Zheng family was about to marry into the Yasukuni Mansion, and the king of the nine counties, who was sitting at the end, said with a smile: "I heard that the prince came from the capital, and repeatedly asked the prince to inquire about the whereabouts of a Miss Wei of the Xu family, saying that she was her best friend, and it seemed that she was married to the second master of the Xu family?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the king of Runan coughed lightly and glanced at the king of the nine counties. It's a pity that the king of Jiujun didn't see the hint of King Runan, and said to the brother who was pulling the corners of his clothes beside him, "Seventh brother, what are you doing with me?"
