Soon after the imperial army of 'P'*WXC'P''P'*WXC'P' set off, the news reached the ears of King Yan. Including the generals who commanded the army, the number of the army, and even the words that Emperor Jianwen said when he sent the army out on the expedition, they were clearly written on paper and sent to King Yan.

"Within one door, the self-extremity is extremely powerful, and the ominous is extremely ominous. Today's soldiers are fighting against King Yan, so that I don't have the name of killing my relatives. ”

Seeing this, King Yan could only sneer.

This nephew of his, who is stupid in reading, is so clever that he is really stupid. Dad didn't teach him something, as an uncle should teach a lesson, do a-don't want to set up an archway, if you want to take advantage of it, you have to pay the price.

Immediately sent people to Nanjing, secretly contacted the person who sent the news, and kept an eye on the movements of the imperial court.

Since King Yan raised his troops, the eyes and ears of the court in Beiping City were almost completely killed, and many of the people who were still alive turned against King Yan became thieves.

Princess Yan also knew her brother's position, and did not write any more letters to Nanjing. Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was blind to all things in Beiping, and it was difficult for Emperor Jianwen to know the movements of King Yan at the first time.

King Yan is different, once there is any disturbance in the court, the eunuchs around Emperor Jianwen will try their best to send the news. With Xu Zengshou helping outside the palace, the messengers entering and leaving Nanjing were rarely subject to strict investigation.

Emperor Jianwen was kept in the dark from beginning to end. Even if he knew the way, he didn't have a good way. King Yan can drop a butcher's knife on Professor Shi, the head of the palace, Emperor Jianwen can't kill all the eunuchs in the palace, right?

The eunuchs, female officials, and palace maids of the inner palace formed various networks of relationships were no less than the connections between court officials.

King Yan cast a wide range of nets to make friends with eunuchs, compared to Emperor Jianwen who only took the high-end route, and he was more than a star and a half.

At this time, King Yan was stationed in Huailai, and received the news that the imperial army was marching, and ordered his subordinates Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others to speed up the speed to clear Yongping, Luanhe and other places, and be sure to build a solid defense line before the arrival of the imperial army. Later, Chen Heng, who was stationed in Daning not long ago, knew it with affection and moved it with reason, and provoked his relationship with Daning's commander Bu Wan, and promised that if Chen Heng led his troops to vote, he would be greeted by a sweep.

Chen Heng was extremely moved by this warm and sincere attitude, and soon sent someone to reply to Zhu Di of the news that the Daning army would leave Songting Pass, cross the Shahe River, and attack Zunhua.

King Yan was overjoyed, personally wrote, and wrote a letter full of emotion, sending Xizuo to infiltrate Daning, and at the same time ordered He Shou, who did not perform well in the battle of Beiping to seize the gate, to lead 500 cavalry and 1,500 foot soldiers to attack Daning, and together with Chen Heng, he captured Daning and commanded Bu Wan.

After arranging all this, King Yan returned to Beiping at the end of July.

The imperial army is coming, and he wants to personally meet Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, who Emperor Jianwen has high hopes for.

A veteran of a hundred battles will surely win? Not necessarily!

He will teach his nephew a good lesson with facts, war is not as simple as it is written in books.

In the city of Beiping, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui went out with the king of Yan, and the political affairs of Beiping and the affairs in the palace of the king of Yan were mostly decided by the prince Zhu Gaochi. Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, was killed by King Yan, and it was Li Youzhi, the political secretary of the political department, who took the responsibility. Senator Li and Ji Shan Jin Zhong of the Yan Wangfu jointly said that Zhu Gaochi could take the opportunity of King Yan's return to the army to win the hearts of the people.

"On the day of the prince's return, the prince should personally greet him. When the king enters the city, the people will greet each other, and the people's hearts can be determined. ”

"What Senator Lee said is very true." Zhu Gaochi has lost a lot of weight during this time, his facial features have become clear, his outline is profound, and his appearance is very similar to that of King Yan. It's just that he often has a smile on his face, and his demeanor looks gentle, which makes the officials and subordinates of the palace feel like a spring breeze.

Thinking of King Yan, and then looking at the son, I can't help but feel puzzled, not looking at the appearance, just talking about the personality, it is really the opposite.

After sending Li Youzhi and Jin Zhong away, Zhu Gaochi touched his stomach and immediately asked someone to bring tea and snacks. I was dealing with government affairs all day long, I couldn't rest, I was tired and hungry, and I was just about to eat something, when Li Youzhi and Jin Zhong came again.

is talking about business, and it can't be perfunctory, because the palace is on the side, and you can't eat as much as you want as usual, it's really torturous.

When I think of Wang Fu Ji Shan, I can't help but think of the Wang Fu professor. Zhu Gaochi has been studying Confucian scriptures with Professor Yu since he was eight years old, and he has great respect for Professor Yu, and he does not want him to take refuge in Emperor Jianwen.

With different positions, Zhu Gaochi could not say anything more about Professor Yu's death, so he could only persuade his father to pursue his relatives to save their lives, which could be regarded as fulfilling the feelings of master and apprentice.

Zhu Gaochi's stomach began to ring, and Wang An urged the little eunuch to get a snack, "Hurry up, the prince is waiting here!" ”

Listening carefully to the movements on Zhu Gaochi's side, seeing that Shizi was sighing again, he couldn't persuade him. Zhu Gaochi has a benevolent personality, and he easily does not punish the people who serve around him, but he can't commit his taboo. Before he found out whether the prince was worried about political affairs or other things, Wang An didn't dare to speak easily.

Since King Yan set out on the expedition, Princess Yan was worried about King Yan and the other two sons, so she couldn't help but be a little negligent to the prince. The princess is not from a high background, and it is difficult to say a few words to the prince.

The son of the world is busy with government affairs all day long, and no one can solve something in his heart, look at the thin ones these days!

The more Wang An thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help wiping away a handful of tears. While wiping and peeking, did the prince see it? See? Then he'll have to cry a little longer.

As a eunuch, you must make your boss feel warm and intimate, and your work will have a future. This is also the inspiration I got when I communicated with Meng Yishi one day.

Nowadays, it seems to be very practical.

Sure enough, the next moment Zhu Gaochi called someone, "Wang An, come in." ”

Wang An wiped his tears, and had to communicate with Meng Yi another day.

On the day that King Yan arrived in Beiping, Zhu Gaochi led the officials in the city to greet him. People in the city and nearby counties also flocked to the roadside, waiting in anticipation.

In the distance, a team of brightly armored cavalry appeared in everyone's field of vision, King Yan took the lead, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui did not follow him, but walked with Shen Xuan and other generals.

The army was strictly disciplined, and after this period of conquest, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui still had violent tempers, but their actions became steady.

After the cavalry, the foot soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets were like a long dragon, with banners and spears, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring in action, and there seemed to be blood in the air.

When King Yan approached, Zhu Gaochi immediately took a few steps forward and saluted King Yan, "Son greets the triumph of my father!" ”

The officials behind him saluted at the same time, "Congratulations to the triumph of the prince!" ”

Zhu Di laughed three times, dismounted, helped Zhu Gaoxu up, and said, "My son is fine!" ”

Then he told everyone to get up, "During the lonely expedition, I have tired you." ”

"The prince has too much reputation, but the minister doesn't dare!"

The "shouting" arranged in the crowd in advance took the opportunity to take the lead in chanting to welcome the triumph of the prince, and the prince is a thousand years old!

The cry drove more people, from one to ten, to hundreds, and even thousands, and resounded across the earth in an instant.

Seeing such a scene, King Yan couldn't hide his excitement. Zhu Gaochi took the opportunity to say: "Please ask your father to get on the horse, and my son will lead the horse into the city for my father!" ”

The surprise was quickly covered by a smile, and King Yan said again: "My son is very good, very good! ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was leading the horse, their expressions changed slightly, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Meng, as the commander of the Yanshan guard, could ride into the city even if he was not a cavalryman. Riding a horse and walking behind Shen Xuan, in such an atmosphere, looking down at the crowd of chanting, his heart couldn't help but be excited.

Kill one as a thief and slaughter ten thousand heroes, no wonder everyone in the world wants to be the emperor.

In addition to being excited, he also remembered the tragedy and bloodshed in the city of Beiping and under the city of Huailai.

Once the success will be achieved, the road of the king is destined to be paved with blood and life.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped on the bones of the enemy to climb the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Zhu Di will be the same.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't do it, he was destined to give up the throne to his uncle.

Meng Qinghai stood in the crowd, watching the army entering the city pass by, with a very complicated expression on his face.

A group of military attachés in Tsing Yi passed by, and he seemed to see Twelve Lang and wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but he was stopped by the crowd, and he could only watch the military attache go away.

Is it really Twelve?

Meng Qinghai can't confirm it, or should he say he doesn't want to confirm it. If it was really Twelve, how would he deal with himself?

failed to take the road of the imperial examination, and wanted to advance through the palace, but could not get a letter of recommendation from He Daling.

"Such a person of immoral character is not useful."

In a word, he was knocked into the dust, and he could only watch Du Qi, Liu Gen and others walk into the palace with the letter of recommendation.

It is said that they were summoned by the prince himself, and in addition to staying in the palace, they would also be appointed to the political envoys and the envoys in Beiping. The prince personally promised that if he performed well and reported to the prince, he could be awarded an official.

Looking at his high-spirited former classmates, Meng Qinghai could only taste the taste of being eaten by jealousy and resentment alone.

He was unwilling, but there was no way to do it. Without a letter of recommendation from the county order, he couldn't even enter the gate of the palace, and staying in the county school was also to add laughter to others. The county school teacher clearly disliked him, and the discipline in the school gradually changed his attitude.

Meng Qinghai couldn't, he planned to go home in the near future, and then think of other ways, but he didn't want to catch up with Yan Wang's class teacher. Seeing Meng in the procession into the city made him even more stunned.

The ambitions and rhetoric of the past have become a joke at this moment.

Status, power, wealth, he longs for the same things as Meng, but the desire is so far from reality.

Meng Qinghai went out of the city in despair, walking on the road, his expression intertwined with unwillingness and dazedness.

Meng didn't know that he had inadvertently hit Meng Qinghai deeply, and as soon as he returned to the palace with King Yan, he was stopped by Wang An, the eunuch beside Zhu Gaochi, and led him to the third room on the left side of the Cunxin Palace, "Meng Yanshi, the prince commanded, you can rest well today and take office tomorrow." ”

The leader let the rest without deducting the salary, and even the food and accommodation were arranged, this kind of good thing, it is a fool to refuse.

Meng sent Wang An away, turned around and pushed open the door, and walked in.

The interior is divided into two rooms by a landscape screen, and there is a table case near the window outside, on which there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and behind the table is a bookshelf, but it is empty.

The floor was covered with stone bricks, apparently cleaned.

Bypassing the screen, there is a bed and a round table with tea and two plates of snacks.

Meng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't eat anything except half a buckwheat cake all the way.

The tea is still hot, the dim sum is not very exquisite, but the taste is really good.

After eating one plate, he was about to start on another plate, when a voice suddenly came from outside, "Meng Yi can you rest?" ”

Meng was almost choked, hurriedly poured a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, walked outside, and saw Wang An leading two little eunuchs, carrying two big food boxes and standing at the door.

"The princess set up a family banquet, these were sent to Meng Yishi by the order of the prince."

"Thank you ......"

Before Meng finished speaking, another group of people came from under the corridor, and the first one was Wang Quan, who was waiting with Zhu Gaoxu's body.

Wang An and Wang Quan were stunned when they looked at each other, and then looked at the food box that the other party was carrying, and they understood everything.

This is not the end, less than a night of merit, Zhu Gaosui also sent someone to deliver food, even King Yan made a lot of fun, meritorious reward, like Meng, a meritorious minister, although he could not attend the family banquet, good wine and good food were indispensable.

When I opened the food box, I immediately smelled fragrant.

Looking at the four plates of elbows and more than 20 plates of meat dishes in front of him, Meng Shishilang had a bitter mouth. Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too popular.

The four fathers and sons are definitely based on their own food consumption and preferences. Not to mention anything else, with the weight of these elbows, ordinary people can't hold on.

"Meng Yishi, the things are delivered, and our family will go back to restore their lives."

Wang An and the others smiled on the surface, but the smile did not reach the bottom of their eyes.

Meng was busy stopping people, and he couldn't just let Wang An go back, otherwise he would definitely get into trouble.

"Listen to the king, wait first." Meng stopped Wang An and the others, and said, the prince must be Gu Nian's corporal under his command, and the prince, the king of Gaoyang County and the third prince must also take their father's ideas as the highest code of conduct, so they will send these good dishes. He thanked the prince for his brother's kindness, and he will definitely die for the prince.

"In this way, I also bothered the three listeners to leave a few people to help Meng bring these to the brothers."

Wang An and a few people looked at each other, this Meng Yanshi's eloquence was serious, and he attributed everything to the benevolence of the prince, and thought of the soldiers under his command, and the three sons of the world were just fathers and sons, and no one could find fault.

Call him cunning?

It's really cunning.

But he clearly said that he was loyal to the prince, and dared to find fault with his words, unless he died.

"In this case, our family will bring Meng Yanshi's words. Xiaoshun, you stay. ”

Wang An and the others left, Meng wiped his sweat, it was really not easy to be an official under King Yan. Dealing with this family is not a job that ordinary people can do.

"Meng has troubled a few people here."

Meng was so polite that several little eunuchs didn't dare to say anything, and walked with Meng to the Heart Hall with the food box.

King Yan's family is sitting around the table, and the family banquet is also rules, and only the princess and the prince can share the table with King Yan. King Yan spoke, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were able to sit under the prince, and King Yan's daughter and concubines did not attend.

Shen Xuan was also summoned by King Yan to his side, and he was forced to arrange for him to sit down next to Zhu Gaochi's brothers.

"Since my brother has entrusted you to me, you will listen to me!"

King Yan no longer called himself lonely, patted Shen Xuan's shoulder, and said, "You are a good boy, call me uncle, my three sons are your brothers!" ”

The three brothers of Zhu Gaochi hurriedly picked up the wine glasses, Shen Xuan did not refuse, the three glasses of wine were down, and King Yan smiled and said, "Okay!" ”

In the middle of the wine, King Yan didn't have anything to do, but the three brothers Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold it anymore, and the amount of wine with his father was purely for himself.

Shen Xuan was also a little drunk, his eyes became darker and deeper, and his face was like a crown of jade.

King Yan threw away the wine glass dissatisfied, and directly picked up the wine jar, Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to do this, Zhu Gaochu wanted to learn, but he almost got under the table like Zhu Gaosui.

The only one who can have the strength to fight is Shen Xuan,

"Not bad!" King Yan put down the wine jar, "In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Lone personally led an expedition to the desert, and the food and grass were scarce, so he relied on a few sips of liquor to survive. Those who lead troops to fight must have a lot of alcohol, this is a man!"

King Yan slapped open a wine jar again, "My father created this world, and my brothers and sisters guard this world, how can it be handed over to a yellow-mouthed child who can only read!" Alone! The father and the son have a spirit in the sky, and they are lonely! ”

Tilting his neck and pouring, the wine slid down the corner of Yan Wang's mouth, staining the red regular clothes, and the golden coiling dragon on his shoulders seemed to be roaring.

"The prince is drunk."

Princess Yan got up and helped King Yan, and ordered the eunuch to help her three sons go down, and King Yan still shouted, "Lonely is not drunk." ”

The princess smiled gently, her hand rose and fell, and she slapped the back of King Yan's neck, and the strong man who was still shouting before suddenly became honest.

"Xuan'er should go back and rest."

"Yes." Shen Xuan stood still and saluted in a regular manner, "Congratulations to the prince, princess." ”

"I held you when you gave birth." Princess Yan helped King Yan, "Why are you so angry now?" ”

Shen Xuan was silent, bowed his head, and didn't say a word.

Everyone knows that King Yan is not easy to mess with, but in fact, Princess Yan is also quite difficult to mess with.

In the middle of the moon, Meng was lying on the bed, his eyes open, and he couldn't sleep.

When he left Beiping, he asked someone to bring a letter to his family, hoping to move his family to the city, but he didn't want Meng Wang's family to say in his reply that this was inappropriate, and insisted on refusing to leave Mengjiatun.

He knew that the Meng Wang's concerns were taken away by his family at this time, and it was inevitable that he would be gossiped about. But there are no other men in the family except him, the imperial army is destined to attack Beiping, the army is outdated, and the clansmen are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they take care of Meng Wang and others?

It's not that he thinks things too badly, but you can't just think about the good things.

The army of the imperial court has not yet arrived, if he dares to say that Beiping will be in danger, he will definitely not be able to escape the charge of disturbing the morale of the army. Don't look at him being reused by the son, if he is not good, he will just become his own talisman.

Knowing that the Dao family will be in danger but can't say it clearly, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

The irritability made it difficult for Meng to sleep, and he had to find a way.

If you can't bring your family in, you should also strengthen Mengjiatun's defense strength, at least if the army is outdated, you can protect yourself.

But what the hell was he supposed to do?

Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang were in Xu Zhong's army, and he didn't even have anyone to consult. Shen Xuan's face suddenly flashed in his mind, and he shook his head, no.

Just thinking about it, I vaguely heard a knock on the door, very regular.

At this time, who will it be?

Should the prince have an order?

Thinking of this, Meng grabbed his outer robe, tied his clothes, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door, but the person standing in front of him was unexpected.

"Commander Shen?"

Shen Xuan stood quietly, with a slender and straight posture, bottomless black eyes, red lips like blood, and a slightly drunken smell of wine.

The white jade-like hand reached out and gently pressed on Meng's shoulder, the heat of the palm soaked through the fabric, and it was a little hot.

What's going on?

Got drunk and went to the wrong door?

Without waiting for Meng to ask, Shen Xuan suddenly leaned over, a piece of warmth brushed Meng's cheeks, and the familiar cold fragrance stained with a little wine, enveloping his whole body.

Turning his head stiffly, he could almost hear the clicking sound of his neck.

Facing the pair of eyes dyed with different colors, Meng Shishilang had no surprise to achieve his long-cherished wish, only fright.

Is he dreaming, or is this world mysterious? `P`*WXC`P``P`*WXC`P`
