Xiao Ding led the people of Yuqingmen to Zhongzhou City, returned to his general's mansion, and saw several old acquaintances from other sects, and was very happy.

It was close to noon, and when it was time to eat, Xiao Ding asked Steward Xia to go down to arrange a banquet, and he planned to have a few drinks with all the guests at noon.

While everyone was talking, a gatekeeper came in to report that Song Yinzi, the king of Mu, had heard that Xiao Ding had returned and came to visit.

Xiao Ding hurriedly brought someone out to greet him, but unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Wang Song Yinzi saw Xiao Ding, he began to shout, saying that in the past few months since Xiao Ding left, something big happened in Kyoto.

Xiao Ding was confused in his heart, and said that what happened in Kyoto, could it be related to the garrison outside the city?

He greeted King Mu into the hall with a question mark in his mind, and after everyone sat down, he asked King Mu what happened in Kyoto.

Song Yinzi sighed and said, "Brother Tian, do you know that in the past few months since you left Kyoto, my eldest brother, the crown prince Song Yinyuan, was assassinated to death, and my second brother went out to drink, but was sprayed on his face with poison by an unknown person, disfigured; My third brother and fourth brother suddenly contracted a violent illness, and he is still paralyzed in bed and cannot be cured; My fifth brother and sixth brother went out to hunt in winter, and suddenly the horses were frightened, and both fell off the cliff, my fifth brother died, and my sixth brother had disabled legs; My starling brother and ninth brother are now in the capital, and everyone says that they go to the brothel of the Qinglou every night and do not return at night; My tenth brother and eleventh brother were framed and killed the current queen, that is, the mother of my father's main palace, and was imprisoned; I have also been assassinated many times in the past few months, but fortunately I have Engong's Lianzhu crossbow to defend myself, so I have saved the day every time. ”

"So, only your seventh brother didn't have any accidents?" Xiao Ding frowned.

"No, in addition to my seventh brother, I have four younger brothers, and they don't have anything to do now, but my four younger brothers are still young." Song Yinzi said.

As soon as Xiao Ding heard this, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, Emperor Song Yuanting had a total of sixteen sons, and now except for a few young princes, only the seventh prince and Song Yinzi are still safe and sound, and the other princes are all out of big or small things, if there is no conspiracy here, then no one will believe it. Especially when the crown prince has been stabbed to death. This is obviously trying to compete for the crown prince!

Moreover, among the remaining princes, the seventh prince is the most suspicious, because he is the only one who has not had any accidents, and if the emperor wants to choose the crown prince, he will definitely give priority to him.

Xiao Ding was reluctant to participate in the prince's struggle for power, and even if he guessed, he didn't say it, but asked: "Are the soldiers and horses outside the city specially transferred because of the prince's accident?" This is a question that Xiao Ding has been holding in his heart since he came to Zhongzhou.

"Nope! Those troops outside the city are coming to King Qin," Song Yinzi replied.

"King Qin?" Xiao Ding was puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that the Seventh Prince launched a mutiny?

"Yes, King Qin! Brother Tian, do you still remember the letter from the King of Jiaozhou that you found in your mansion before? Song Yinzi prompted.

"Remember! Could it be the king of Jiaozhou? Xiao Ding wondered.

"Yes, it was my fourth uncle Song Yuanyan who rebelled, he wrote to recommend my seventh brother to be the crown prince, my father did not agree, he rebelled on the grounds that my father was mediocre, and at the same time colluded with the southern Dali State and the Great Southern Barbarian State to send troops at the same time, and privately recruited the assistance of the Jianghu sect Tianluomen and the Disha Valley sect. Now they have captured several county towns in the south of Zhongzhou and the west of Yuezhou. After my father learned about it, he summoned the troops of the state capitals of the Great Song Kingdom to come to King Qin, so as to resist the troops of my four uncles and the troops of Dali and Danan. Song Yinzi explained to Xiao Ding.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that the king of Jiaozhou really rebelled, he recommended the Seventh Prince to be the crown prince on the surface, but behind his back, he must have colluded with the Seven Princes for a long time, and designed to assassinate many princes and the current queen. However, Xiao Ding thought about it again, these seven princes have no military power and no power in the rivers and lakes, and the king of Jiaozhou colluded with him, so he should just use him, and in the end, the king of Jiaozhou must still want to be the emperor himself.

"Then why did these armies stop outside the city and not resist the attack of the king of Jiaozhou?" Xiao Ding asked again.

"This is because, it has not yet been decided, who will be the commander and lead the troops to conquer my fourth uncle?" Song Yinzi sighed.

"There are so many generals in the imperial court, how can there be no commander with troops?" Xiao Ding was even more curious.

"The ministers who are not yet in the court have a split of opinion. On the civilian side, Zhao Shisun, Gao Geyu and other civil veterans recommended Gao Geyu's son Gao Jinnei to be the commander of the army, because Gao Jiannei is a civilian official and has been doing civilian work in the Hanlin Academy. And with a civilian official as the commander-in-chief, there is no need to worry that he will lead troops to rebel. ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that these ministers must be arguing again, and Emperor Song Yuanfang is an indecisive person, so it is difficult to choose. So he asked, "The military attaché must have recommended someone else, right?" ”

"Yes, the military attache's side is not unified, and the youngest son of the old prince Yang of the Yang Wangfu is recommended to lead the team, on the grounds that he has been stationed at the border for many years and has rich experience in war; There are also those who recommend Gao Wanjun, the granddaughter of Gao Wangfu, on the grounds that she once led a team to repel the army of the Great Xia Kingdom that invaded Yongzhou; Old Prince Gao strongly recommended you to be the commander, saying that when you attacked the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, you had outstanding achievements and had the ability to command the army. Song Yinzi spoke slowly.

"And me?" Xiao Ding said in disbelief, he heard that the old prince Gao strongly recommended himself, but did not recommend his granddaughter Gao Wanjun, and he was also very grateful to the old prince Gao in his heart, although the emperor may not choose to be the commander in the end, but the old prince Gao still has to receive this heart.

"Yes, Old Prince Gao strongly recommends you, but the civil officials are strongly opposed." Song Yinzi said truthfully.

"Oh, it doesn't matter if I go to be a commander or not, I have a question for you!" Xiao Ding turned his head to look at Song Yinzi and said.

"What's the problem?" Song Yinzi asked strangely.

"Do you want to be the crown prince?" Xiao Ding looked directly into Song Yinzi's eyes and asked.

"Well, I haven't thought about it! If you want to be the prince, you also have my seventh brother, where can it be my turn? When Song Yinzi heard Xiao Ding's question, he immediately became panicked.

Xiao Ding knew that Song Yinzi was worried that if the emperor knew that Song Yinzi had the heart to be the prince, he would definitely suspect that Song Yinzi had done the murder of other princes, so he didn't dare to show the slightest desire to be the prince.

It seems that this nerd King Mu is not stupid, Xiao Ding continued: "If you want to be the prince, I can help you!" ”

"You help me, how can you help me?" Song Yinzi looked at Xiao Ding in a daze and said, but he was questioning in his heart.
