The prince's return to the throne, a great happy event, just got a ransom of 3 million taels from Jingyang State, Xu Zhilan Chrysostom opened, and the Lingyun Pass border guards were rewarded with a base of 10 taels each, which was increased by five taels in turn according to the size of the official rank.

Under the city gate of Lingyun Pass, the congratulations and cheers of all the soldiers were higher and higher.

Then, Xu Zhilan announced that Concubine Chu would reward each person with two taels, and Concubine Xiang would reward each person with two taels.

Xiang'er saw the gratitude of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, she approached Xu Zhilan, her beautiful eyes were tearful, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Xu Zhao Xu Zhilan acted cheaply, and after the cheers subsided a little, Xu Zhilan announced an amnesty to the world.

Guo Gonggong seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, Xu Zhilan glared at him, and he honestly shut up.

Back at the General's Mansion, Xu Zhilan wrote an edict and asked General Cheng to send people to the prefectures and capitals to announce the matter.

This happened too suddenly, Guo Gonggong couldn't figure out the situation, Xu Zhilan didn't want to see him, all Guo Gonggong could do was to quickly write a secret letter and send it to Yangtao County, and inform Xu Zhao of this matter.

On the ninth day of the first month, Xu Zhilan led the team back to Jinling, sat in a comfortable carriage, and heard the auspicious words of the prince on the side of the road, he and Chu Yanqing and Xiang'er smiled bitterly.

"I don't know if the emperor's original idea was to let the prince marry Princess Luoyang?" Xiang'er looked at Xu Zhilan and asked.

How does Xu Zhilan know? At the beginning, the emperor did give Xu Zhilan a lot of benefits, but the king was forced to be the prince by the situation! He shook his head and said, "Who knows?" If we create the situation, the emperor may be angry, and he should not refute it. In the emperor's heart, he is extremely reluctant to take the throne of King Qin, I guess, the emperor may take Princess Ziyang out of the Taimiao and make her a king or something. ”

"Princess Ziyang has been beaten to the Taimiao, and she was suddenly crowned king, this change is too big, the emperor has to be reasonable, even if it is a reasonable reason on the surface, it needs one!" Chu Yan said lightly.

Xu Zhilan sighed and said, "The person who sits in the highest position, what he says is the truth, and it is the law!" Isn't it hard to find the truth? When the time comes, my father will say, 'Princess Ziyang prays for me in the Taimiao every day, so that I can recover quickly, and I can ride a horse to ......Yangtao County to play.'"

"That's the reason?" Xiang'er felt speechless.

Indeed, this is not a good reason, but it is an irrefutable reason. Can you say that the father is cured of illness and does not have the function of Princess Ziyang's prayer? Xu Zhilan said helplessly.

Chu Yan said lightly: "Let's think about how the emperor will deal with us, right?" ”

Xu Zhilan said: "The emperor has a lot of people to deal with now, and it may not be our turn first. Proportions, Xu Zhiyuan, Princess Luoyang, and, of course, my ......"

Xiang'er shook her head and said, "The emperor killed Princess Xi and ...... Now the prince admits that he is the prince, which is what it means to win the world; The matter between Xu Zhiyuan and Princess Luoyang, no matter how much the emperor hates iron and steel, it is an internal matter of the Xu family, in the final analysis, the world is still handed over from the left hand to the right hand; If the world falls into the hands of the prince, it will become the world of the Xu family, which is fundamentally different. ”

Xu Zhilan smiled bitterly and hugged Xiang'er, he didn't know, but deliberately said it lightly, not wanting Chu Yan, who had not healed from his injuries, to worry.

Not long after departure, there was a secret letter from Prime Minister Jian and Prime Minister Jian on a fast horse, and Xu Zhilan opened it and saw that he was asking him to return the gold leaf Geng post to Princess Luoyang.

Xu Zhilan didn't plan to use this thing, and he didn't care too much about it, and this time, Xu Zhilan decided to pretend to be the prince, and it was impossible for the prince to marry his sister, so he didn't think about what to do with gold foil Gengti. At this time, Prime Minister Jian mentioned in the letter, Xu Zhilan sneered and said: "When King Qin makes Luoyang's belly bigger, when he gets married, he can't find Geng Ti, and this joke will be big!" ”

Xiang'er was curious and wanted Xu Zhilan to take it out and take a look, but Xu Zhilan found that the gold leaf was missing.

Xu Zhilan couldn't care about Xiang'er's shyness, and asked if Xiang'er saw a piece of gold leaf as he described when Xiang'er helped him get dressed after the two were happy? Xiang'er blushed, thinking about it carefully, because the two were cheating, they handled the aftermath better every time, and Xiang'er said affirmatively: "No." ”

"Spring Garden!" After a while, Xu Zhilan and Xiang'er said in unison.

"The prince and Sister Yanqing will hurry first, and Xiang'er will go back to explore the Spring Garden."

Shaking his head, Xu Zhilan said: "No need, if you lose it, you will lose it, who wants to get rich, and you are bold enough, go to Jinling to make trouble with Xu Zhiyuan!" There's no need to let the king's baby Xiang'er take the risk. ”

Under the heavy reward, the speed of the edict was very fast, especially on the road from Xu Zhilan to Jinling, in order to please the prince, the prefectures and the government issued a proclamation overnight, and Xu Zhilan must pass through the place, saw countless proclamations, and the highest officials of the various prefectures came out to greet him.

Xu Zhilan didn't want Chu Yanqing to work too hard, so he was going to delay for a day or two, and talk to the officials who came to pick him up, and whoever took him and gave a lot of gifts, he would help the other party to be promoted to the next level!

Chu Yan was lightly injured, but now it's okay, and all kinds of legendary old ginseng and other top-notch tonic pills have been smashed over. sent Concubine Chu, Concubine Xiang also has to send it. Of course, the most important thing is to give gifts to the prince, according to everyone's hobbies, what Xu Zhilan got was all kinds of martial arts secrets, rare ancient calligraphy and paintings, and things like solitary books.

Seeing that the Xingxu car was getting bigger and bigger, Xiang'er once joked and asked Xu Zhilan: "After returning to Jinling, do you want to open a pharmacy, a bookstore, and a martial arts sect?" ”

Amused Xu Zhilan and Concubine Chu Qing.

When the time came to April 11, Yin of Jinling Mansion received an order from His Royal Highness the Prince, and he dared to slack off, and immediately recruited his officials who wrote well, and posted them while writing.

Prime Minister Jian was taken aback, Xu Zhilan was going to usurp the throne, and he hurriedly sent someone to invite Zhao Shangshu and Chen Shangshu. For such a big thing, there was no need to invite at all, and the next person met the carriage of two adults on the way.

The three adults looked at each other, and their hands were shaking as they drank tea.

Zhao Shangshu spoke first: "If it weren't for the fact that King Yangtao had given up the prince, to be honest, since the emperor gave King Yangtao Jinshi a background, the emperor's grace to King Yangtao is indeed a great favor, and people do not dare to suspect that what King Yangtao said is false." ”

"Lord Zhao, everyone knows this, now it's time to analyze whether King Yangtao is really the crown prince?" Chen Shangshu's tone was not happy.

"Master Chen, you ask me, who do I ask?" Zhao Shangshu was in a bad mood, and his speech was a little rushed.

Prime Minister Jian waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel, enter the court as an official, that's it, Tengda because of the situation, perish because of the situation!" It's useless to say more, so choose one. ”

Thinking of it, Zhao Shangshu said: "In terms of folk prestige, Princess Luoyang and King Qin together are not as good as half of the King of Yangtao, whether it is for Dahua, or for your own interests, the old man chooses King Yangtao!" ”

Chen Shangshu was in charge of the military department, and he thought about things habitually in the war, he said: "King Yangtao can take the head of the enemy among 10,000 people, and if he really fights, the king of Qin will die, unless he can't hide ......."
