The two princes faced each other with swords on the spot, and there were still people in the crowd who were not afraid of big things, and they made a fool of them to fight quickly.

For a while, the onlookers couldn't help but look back, and then they saw a bright yellow luxury carriage parked on the periphery of the crowd.

and a man with gray temples and wearing an ink-colored dragon court dress, nearly fifty years old. He was standing there smiling, and the words just now were obviously from his mouth.

This man who is a little older, his figure is not magnificent, and his body is even more fat, but he just gives people a heavenly atmosphere that cannot be ignored.

It was almost just a moment to see that the people who came here saw it clearly, whether it was Zhou Xiantai, or the always calm Zhou Xianrui, or even the unruly Zhou Xianyu, all of them changed their expressions in unison.

Then he bowed all his hands, made a junior salute, and said respectfully:

"My nephew has seen the Four Emperors, may you be blessed with eternal health and longevity."

Seeing that these princes of Emperor Ming all called the person in front of him in Panlong court clothes the emperor.

And in this Jingshi, the only one who can afford this title is the brother of the current saint, Zhou Youchang, the king of Yongchang, who is the head of all the vassal kings.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, all the siblings, according to the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to ensure the stability of the country and avoid fratricide and rebellion.

Therefore, the emperor's brothers are divided into kings and then go to their own fiefdoms, except for the holy proclamation, otherwise they are not allowed to return to Beijing without authorization.

And this King Yongchang is an outsider, he is the fourth son of the emperor, and his biological mother is Concubine Xian, who has died of illness.

Under the queen of the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the four virtuous and virtuous concubines are respected, and the virtuous concubine at the head of the four concubines is even more than the deputy queen.

Therefore, although King Yongchang is not the prince of Yan, he is still from a very high background.

At the beginning of Emperor Ming's ascension to the throne, the pressure from the harem and the previous dynasty was very huge, and the rebellion of the four kings broke out at that time, which can be described as a very chaotic and tense situation.

And at that time, he had been assisting Emperor Ming, and he almost gave away his life several times, which is now the king of Yongchang, Zhou Youchang.

Therefore, when Emperor Ming completely controlled the court situation and quelled the rebellion of the four kings, he sent all his brothers to the fiefdom, but only left King Yongchang in Jingshi.

And at that time, Emperor Ming said that this Jingshi was the fief of King Yongchang, and he wanted this loyal brother of the Four Emperors to accompany the king to accompany him and assist him in governing the country of the Great Zhou.

Emperor Ming not only gave King Yongchang the highest honor, but even gave the other party a ring ruler, and named it the ring ruler.

And this ruler is not simple, Emperor Ming threatened to be afraid of staying on the throne for a long time in the future, afraid that he would be slack and waste the government, and when he didn't know it, then King Yongchang could use this ruler to spur him hard and wake him up.

Therefore, the meaning of this precept is the meaning of punishing the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the ruler obtained by the king of Yongchang can beat the king and punish the ministers, so in the court and the opposition and the vassal kings, the influence of the king of Yongchang and the status of high morality cannot be ignored at all.

Therefore, even Zhou Xiantai, the son of the queen, has always been respectful when he saw this imperial uncle, and he did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

And after such a while, King Yongchang had already come closer, looking at the weapons of the two sides, and they were recycling.

Immediately, his face with a little round hair and a mustache showed a look of pity, and then he sighed and said:

"Oh, you guys are fighting, the people of this full Beijing division, but they are all watching the excitement here, Tai boy, Rui boy, you two are really good now, where is the momentum that is not afraid of big things just now, you continue to fight one for this prince to see."

The two princes, they almost didn't fight together in public, it's really embarrassing to say this, so when I saw this King Yongchang, he seemed to be angry, and even the mustache at the corner of his mouth shook and trembled.

was caught by this imperial uncle, which means that today's events are very likely to be passed into the ears of Emperor Ming, and immediately Zhou Xiantai didn't want to be too passive, so he immediately defended himself and said first:

"Uncle Huang, you came just in time, the fifth brother and the seventh brother are really too deceitful today, you look at this year's martial champions, they have all been injured by the emperor, in a few days Ling Feng will have to go to the palace and personally visit his father, do you want him to enter the palace with bandages."

Hearing this, King Yongchang squinted his eyes and glanced at Ji Lingfeng twice, looking at this Jin Kewu champion, his face turned pale because of excessive blood loss, and he immediately coughed and said:

"Xiantai, this Ji Ling Feng is a person from your palace, this prince should not be wrong about this. It's not hard for you to ask me to judge you. But Uncle Huang I am also a little curious, that is, our martial champion, is it inevitable that he is too weak, he and the Emperor Yu's competition, the Emperor actually stood and saw it, he was unable to fight back after three moves, this kind of person wants to enter the court, can he be a useful talent, this prince is really a little uncertain now. ”

As a martial artist, he was seriously injured by someone in three moves, which has to be said to be indeed a shameless thing.

Seeing that King Yongchang even questioned Ji Lingfeng's ability a little because of this, Zhou Xiantai couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, after all, this imperial uncle played a pivotal role in the government and the opposition.

If he felt that Ji Lingfeng was not a usable talent, it would inevitably affect the development of the other party's career.

And those positions that hold real power may also fall into the hands of others, which is a big loss for the prince's faction.

Therefore, Zhou Xiantai immediately wanted to defend Ji Lingfeng, but King Yongchang waved his hand, and then said as if talking to himself:

"In previous years, the martial arts examination, although it was not a time to produce a large number of people, but there were always two or three good seedlings, but this year's imperial examination is strange, the fight is really lively, but the strength is not good, except for this Ji Lingfeng, this prince has only been looking at it for a long time, and it is simply a group of small fish and shrimp. Isn't it that Xiantai feels sorry for his subordinates, and privately helps us, the martial champion, to eliminate all the potential powerful candidates, but this kind of thing is quite like what you kid can do, after all, your grandfather is very good at excluding dissidents. ”

King Yongchang's words really scared Zhou Xiantai's heart so much that he couldn't jump.

As the saying goes, if there is a ghost in the heart, this confidence will be insufficient.

Moreover, before the martial arts examination, Zhou Xiantai did make some moves in it, and the candidates who had good strength and might threaten Ji Lingfeng tried to make them unable to participate in the martial arts.

Now that King Yongchang seemed to be unintentional, but he deliberately said to him, Zhou Xiantai couldn't help but get nervous, and he couldn't guess what the real intention of this imperial uncle was.

In order to quickly avoid this topic that made him nervous, Zhou Xiantai immediately kept busy with Xiao Jinxuan, and then diverted everyone's attention and said:

"Xianyu seriously injured Ji Lingfeng, the imperial nephew can only be regarded as an accident, but since the imperial uncle has been here for a long time, then it is time to hear how this daughter of the handsome mansion reprimanded Xiantai, she is just the concubine of the Xiao family, but in front of everyone, she contradicted me, the prince of the dynasty, in public, so the nephew was angry for a while, so he lost his calm and drew his sword, but I didn't expect that the fifth brother would have to compete with me, the royal brother, for this concubine, all of this was caused by Xiao Jinxuan, I really don't know who borrowed her courage, let her act so wantonly. ”

Seeing Zhou Xiantai's gaze, he stared at Xiao Jinxuan's body, with an expression of wanting to eat the other party alive.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was baptized by such fierce eyes, her expression was still gentle and calm, as if Zhou Xiantai's accusation was not her at all.

Seeing the corners of King Yongchang's mouth, he couldn't help but tilt up slightly, and then saw him suddenly point at Xiao Jinxuan, and said in a deliberately raised voice:

"This girl's courage was borrowed by this prince, why don't you have an opinion, Prince Tai."

King Yongchang's words not only made Zhou Xiantai, who was named by name, immediately stunned, but even the people who were watching, as well as many children of the family, were all a little confused, and couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

Ignoring the different expressions of the crowd, King Yongchang suddenly came to Xiao Jinxuan's side in a few steps, then pulled the other party's hand, then patted it kindly, and said with a little reassurance:

"Daughter, don't be afraid, there is a righteous father here, didn't you just tell the truth, I want to see who dares to touch you, Xiantai is my family Jinxuan still said that you are wrong, it's just a competition of accidental injury, you are in full view, and you want to go to your father to judge." I see that Empress Xue and the old prime minister are really spoiled by you, your own brothers are so careful, where do you still have the bearing of a person in the royal family. ”

Regarding King Yongchang's reprimand, Zhou Xiantai really didn't listen to a word, he has now been completely hit by the relationship between this imperial uncle and Xiao Jinxuan.

After looking at the two of them for a long time, Zhou Xiantai still couldn't believe it and asked again:

"What do you mean by this, Uncle Huang, when did this handsome concubine become your righteous daughter, why has the imperial nephew never heard you mention it before."

As soon as he heard this, King Yongchang, who was looking at Xiao Jinxuan with satisfied eyes, immediately raised his eyes.

"I said Emperor Xiantai's nephew, you can't help but be too lenient, this prince wants to accept a righteous daughter, do you have to notify you first, and in the future, you will not be allowed to call the concubine long and the concubine short, and I will include her in the genealogy after a while, and then my baby daughter will be the county lord, and her identity is not much worse than your prince."

As soon as he finished saying this, King Yongchang didn't pay attention to it at all, and was so shocked that Zhou Xiantai, who didn't know what to say, saw him pull Xiao Jinxuan and walked out of the crowd, and then muttered:

"I went into the palace early in the morning to accompany the driver, and I haven't eaten anything seriously until now, girl, let's go, accompany this prince to eat something, the messy things here, just leave it to Rui Boy to deal with, he is the best at doing these things, don't worry about one of your daughters."
