Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch heard the emperor say that he wanted to pick up the eldest prince Qi Yanrong, that is, Prince Rong entered the palace to meet him, bent over and blinked on the side, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness Prince Rong...... He has been staying at the inn for the past few days, and he wants to ask, when will he be able to return to his prince's palace? ”

The eldest prince, Qi Yanrong, was the eldest of their brothers in the middle grades, and he was also the first to be awarded the title of prince.

When Qi Yanrong was crowned king, the eighth prince had just been born.

Now that this most inconspicuous younger brother has become the emperor, I don't know what this Prince Rong will think in his heart......

Because Qi Yanrong is said to have been "killed" when he went to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom a few years ago, although the body was not found, everyone at that time tended to think that the four princes who went with him to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were the biggest obstacle to getting rid of himself as the crown prince.

Therefore, after Qi Yandong, the prince of the fourth prince, returned to the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was severely punished by the then emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Qi Xiao, abolished his title of prince, imprisoned him, and thought about it behind closed doors.

Until the eighth prince Emperor Qi Cheng ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and in order to show his brother, friend and brother, he released the four princes and restored his title of Prince Dong.

And Qi Yanrong died suddenly in a foreign country, and he had no son-in-law, only one son was a concubine born to a favorite concubine, so this concubine inherited the throne and became the king of the county.

After the demotion attacked, the family moved out of the prince's palace and moved to the county palace.

The princess only has two daughters, both of whom are married, and the favored concubine has become the old feudal lord of the county prince's mansion, and the princess is squeezed into the nunnery.

Qi Yanrong is back this time. He is still the title of the prince, and of course he has to go back to the prince's palace.

But his prince's mansion had long been given to his father-in-law's family by Emperor Qi Cheng.

Emperor Qi Cheng's mother clan had no power. Fortunately, Emperor Qi Xiao married him a powerful crown princess back then, so that he could sit on the throne.

In order to envelop the Yue family, he not only named his father-in-law the Duke of Yue Guo and his brother-in-law the Marquis of Zhongxing, but also let his father-in-law's family live in the prince's mansion.

At that time, there were only two princely palaces in Northern Qi.

One belongs to the eldest prince Qi Yanrong, and the other belongs to the fourth prince Qi Yandong.

Qi Yandong was restored to his title by Emperor Qi Cheng and released from captivity. lives in his own prince's mansion, then there is only the prince's mansion where Qi Yanrong is empty.

Therefore, after Emperor Qi Cheng ascended the throne, he took this princely palace as a state mansion. He was given to his own family to live in.

No one expected that Qi Yanrong would come back alive one day......

Emperor Qi Cheng slowly sat back on the dragon chair, his face calm, but his mind was chaotic. I don't know where to start.

“…… Still staying at the inn? Emperor Qi Cheng said slowly. A smile appeared on his face, "My eldest brother, our Prince Rong of Northern Qi, how can he live in an inn?" Come, spread my will, and invite him to come into the palace and live with me! ”

Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch was taken aback, "Holy Lord, do you really want to invite Prince Rong to live in the palace?" ”

"What I said. Do you want to dismiss it, eunuch? Emperor Qi Cheng glanced at the confidant eunuch lightly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, slave don't dare!" The confidant eunuch quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Anxiously, he took the new will of Emperor Qi Cheng and rushed to the inn Prince Xuanrong to enter the palace.

A group of them rode a high-headed horse to the inn, and said to Qi Yanrong: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Prince Xuanrong Qi Yanrong enters the palace and lives with me, Qin this!" ”

The onlookers around the inn were in an uproar and were very excited.

"Did you hear it? The Holy One wants to live with His Royal Highness Prince Rong, the eldest prince! ”

"Did I hear me right? Holy Lord, what is this going to do? It's not that it's holy...... A hand on Prince Rong? ”

"Who knows? Maybe not, right? You see that the Holy One is going to live in the palace with him, how could he do such a thing? ”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and they said that they couldn't understand Emperor Qi Cheng's will.

The face of the eunuch became more and more relaxed, and he secretly said in his heart that this trick of the saint was indeed wonderful, and with just one will, he reversed the rumor that "the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind".

Besides, they knew Qi Yanrong's arrogant temper very well at the beginning, as long as they killed him so fiercely, without others cleaning him up, Qi Yanrong himself would kill himself......

Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch stood in front of Qi Yan Rong, smiling, and handed over the holy decree more and more respectfully, and said, "Prince Rong, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember the Sprinkle family?" ”

Qi Yanrong glanced at him, suddenly dusted off his robe, knelt down at the door of the inn, and said to the eunuch who sent the message: "Please thank the saint on behalf of the king, and say, it is the duty of the king to enter the palace to meet the saint, but he will never dare to live with the saint, and please take back the will, don't kill the king, the king would rather be punished." As long as the king stays back in the former prince's house, as long as he can go back to live for a day, the king will die immediately. As he spoke, he actually kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, and said that if Emperor Qi Cheng did not withdraw this will to "enter the palace and live together", he would kneel here and not get up.

The dignified prince of Northern Qi knelt in front of a humble inn and pleaded with a eunuch.

If you didn't see this scene with your own eyes, these people couldn't believe it when they were killed.

They changed their words, and soon leaned towards Qi Yanrong again.

"Huh? It's too much! How can you squeeze your own brother like this?! ”

"That's it! Still living with me! Cut! Prince Rong is not a fool again, if he enters the palace like this and lives with the saint, where is his life?! A crime committed will leave him dead with no place to bury! ”

"It seems that although our saint is the youngest, he really has the most eyes. No wonder his elder brothers couldn't fight him, and instead of becoming the emperor, it was his young son who inherited the throne. ”

Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch heard that the common people were fooled by Qi Yanrong in a blink of an eye, and he was so angry that he trembled with anger, and he was annoyed for a long time before he said in a strange manner: "His Royal Highness Prince Rong, please hurry up!" You are like this, but can it be difficult for us to be saints? Besides, your children are all in the county king's mansion in the east city. You are good at the county king's mansion, and you deliberately came to the guest house, and it is also our saint who is generous-minded. If you don't care about it, how can someone who has changed to someone else with a careful eye not ponder? ”

Qi Yanrong looked up at the eunuch and smiled, "This father-in-law, you also said that it is the county king's mansion, and it is my son's mansion. I, as a father, still have a bit of face, and I won't fight with my son for family property. Besides, I am the prince of the first emperor's imperial seal and live in the county king's mansion. It is not in harmony with the etiquette. ”

Qi Yanrong said that it was inconsistent with etiquette for a prince to live in the county prince's mansion, but in fact, there was another meaning, which was to assassinate Emperor Qi Cheng's father-in-law and his family to live in the prince's mansion as a prince, which was also inconsistent with etiquette.

One stick overturned two boatloads of people. And it takes advantage of the right time, place and people. The etiquette, rules and human feelings are all on his side, and Emperor Qi Cheng's henchmen and eunuchs are so suffocated that they can't speak.

"I'm kneeling here, and I'm sorry for the crime of resisting the decree. Eighth brother, oh, no, the eighth brother is already the emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill and fight. Listen to it. Qi Yanrong said righteously, "But." I also hope that the Holy One will spare my wife, concubines, and children, and not be embarrassed by them. I have not been in contact with any of them, and they came to see me, but I sent them away, and please rest assured. ”

These words took up the common sense of human nature and family affection, and it was almost like Emperor Qi Cheng who had cut his face and had no inside, and he was not a human being inside and out.

Some people in the crowd who were watching recognized Qi Yanrong in the past, and they were immediately impressed by his attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, nor impatient today, and they all secretly said in their hearts, His Royal Highness Prince Rong must have suffered a lot in a foreign country over the years, otherwise he would not have become so sensible and sharp.

I think that at the beginning, Qi Yanrong was extremely irritable, only looking at his fists to speak, leading the military position, and his arrogant and lascivious reputation was well-known on the Zhongzhou continent.

If Qi Yanrong had such an appearance at the beginning, the first emperor would definitely pass the throne to him......

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, watching Emperor Qi Cheng's henchmen and eunuchs hurriedly get on their horses, flee in the wilderness, and run back to the palace.

"Holy! Holy! The prince of Narong refused to enter the palace! Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch hurriedly came to Emperor Qi Cheng's imperial study, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said loudly.

"Oh? He dares to resist the decree? Emperor Qi Cheng showed a smug smile on his face, "Resisting the decree is not a misdemeanor......

If you kill your head, you will kill your door.

The henchman eunuch listened to Emperor Qi Cheng's words, the expression on his face was very embarrassed, he took a few steps closer, leaned into Emperor Qi Cheng's ear and said, "...... Saint, here's how it ......" said, and said what Qi Yanrong had just said in front of the crowd, and said at the end: "His Royal Highness Prince Rong is still kneeling at the door of the inn, look ......"

As soon as Emperor Qi Cheng heard what Qi Yanrong said, his face immediately darkened. - This big brother saw through his intentions at once!

And putting on a picture of letting go of fighting and killing in front of everyone is actually retreating as advancing, so that he can't really kill him......

Emperor Qi Cheng didn't want to kill Qi Yanrong, at most he humiliated it slightly, and just praised and depreciated.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yanrong would plan and counter him with a "bitter meat plan"!

If he follows Qi Yanrong's words and treats him for the "crime of resisting the decree", then the people of the entire Northern Qi Kingdom will be sure that he is the mastermind behind that incident.

As soon as Emperor Qi Cheng thought of this result, he was extremely aggrieved.

He held his head, propped his arms on the bookcase, and screamed, unwilling like a wounded little beast.

What should he do?

“…… Holy Lord, His Royal Highness Prince Rong is still kneeling at the door of the inn, you see...... "The henchman eunuch knows that it is imperative to get up with Qi Yan Rong first, and stop kneeling at the door."

You must know that Qi Yanrong was the only prince who had led the army at the beginning, and there were still many sergeants who were loyal to him.

If they see their original commander being humiliated like this by the saint, they don't know what will happen.

Emperor Qi Cheng was also very aware of this, he knew what he should do, but he couldn't pull his face when he thought that he was forced to take back the holy decree and might have to let his father-in-law's family move.

"Holy! Holy! I heard that Prince Rong is back? Empress Yue rushed to the imperial study to inquire about the news.

She heard her mother's family enter the palace and said that Prince Rong had come back and asked to return to his own prince's mansion, but the Yue clan had already become princes and had lived in the prince's mansion for two years, how could they move out again?

If you move out, it will not be the face of the Yue family, but the face of the queen, that is, the face of the saint.

Emperor Qi Cheng saw Empress Yue's flower-like willow face, the expression on his face was a little relaxed, he rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Zitong, what are you doing?" ”

The Yue clan also has a background in Northern Qi.

They were inextricably linked with the Zhou family, the god general of Great Xia, and later the Great Zhou replaced Great Xia, and the Yue clan quietly rose up. After Da Zhou fell apart, they really jumped out.

This clan is also considered to be a large number of talents, it is said that there is a secret book of training for the god general Zhou Chengzong, many people in the clan have joined the army, but they have not been promoted to a high position, and only in the middle and lower level of officers to attract people.

Later, when Emperor Qi Xiao chose the crown princess for his youngest son, he thought of the Yue family and asked him to marry the daughter of the Yue family as the crown princess.

After Emperor Qi Cheng ascended the throne, he immediately crowned the crown princess Yue as the queen.

The Yue family is not from a big family, after entering the palace, she is particularly taboo for others to look down on her background, even if Emperor Qi Cheng is particularly fond of her, she is also very concerned about her every move, lest she be looked down upon by others.

And this time, Qi Yanrong suddenly returned, and asked her mother's family to return to the prince's mansion, and she immediately had a thorn in her heart.

"Holy Lord, although Prince Narong said that he was a prince, but after so many years, who knows if he is true or not? He said it was Qi Yanrong, was it Qi Yanrong? Who didn't know that he was dead......" Empress Yue whispered in Emperor Qi Cheng's ear.

Her words really spoke to Emperor Qi Cheng's heart.

He held Yue's hand and said excitedly: "Zitong, you are still the most concerned!" ”

"That's nature. The concubine is the queen of the saint, and she is one with the honor and disgrace of the saint. Yue said with a smile, and scratched Emperor Qi Cheng's palm.

Emperor Qi Cheng's heart fluttered, he had already relieved his anger, and instructed his henchman eunuch: "If you go to pass the decree, it will be my will, since he refuses to enter the palace, I don't know if he is my brother or not. Let him not be in a hurry, and wait for me to send someone to Dongyuan Kingdom to inquire about the news, and then return to him. ”

This is a procrastination trick, as long as it takes time, he can come up with a way to clean up Qi Yanrong.

Queen Yue's heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "Shengshang, the concubine has made a few small snacks, and the concubine serves the saint to eat?" ”

Emperor Qi Cheng smiled and followed her back to the queen's bedroom.

……

Emperor Qi Cheng's henchman eunuch rushed to the inn to deliver the decree again, and repeated Emperor Qi Cheng's words, expressing his doubts about Qi Yanrong's identity.

Qi Yanrong smiled, dusted off his robe and got up from the ground, and said calmly: "It is also human nature for the saint to doubt the identity of this king. This king is not in a hurry, please check slowly. As he spoke, he turned around and went to the inn.

In another inn not far away, Ying Sleeve stood beside Xie Donglian, looking at the scene on the street here, and said with a smile: "This Emperor Qi Cheng is not too stupid, and he knows suspicion and suspicion. ”

Xie Dongli smiled slightly, "This is a pit he has to jump into, whether he doubts it or not, he can't break through this mess." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ying Sleeve asked curiously, "How do you prove his identity?" ”

"If I can't prove his identity, how can I put him back?" Xie Dongli pointed out the window, "The person who really joined forces with us was not him at all." ”

Qi Yanrong is just a puppet, in fact, he can't count, just like props, he is a tool for others to sing.

Yingsleeve frowned, but she soon understood.

"Big brother! Is it really big brother?! A middle-aged man wearing a jade white Jiangya seawater silk python robe suddenly separated from the crowd, walked out, and shouted in surprise at Qi Yanrong's back.

Qi Yanrong turned around slowly, stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It turned out to be the fourth brother." I haven't seen you for many years, but is the fourth brother okay? ”

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar again.

Just now, Emperor Qi Cheng said that he doubted the identity of the eldest prince Qi Yanrong, and then the fourth prince Prince Dong came to recognize his brother.

This is simply another resounding slap in the face of Emperor Qi Cheng!
