Chapter 168: Wine tasting, a jar of wounded parting

The patrol battalion closed the city gate for several days, and the people of Taiping City only knew that a major incident had happened, but no one knew what had happened. The people in the palace were panicked, and a young assassin broke into the palace alone, held the prince hostage, and fled the palace city. For this reason, Xu Dian, the commander of the forbidden army, made a mistake in his duties, which shook the government and the opposition.

A great commander who has been in the palace for more than ten years has been deposed and cultivated at home, and the absence of the commander of the forbidden army is the crown prince of Qi. What is surprising is that the emperor is not in a hurry about the selection of the commander, as if there is no difference between the forbidden army in the palace and the commander.

The first month was not destined to be so peaceful, and the corruption case involved in the head of the household book finally came to an end. As many as 100 officials in the DPRK were involved, but the local officials were not very involved. A large number of vacant positions appeared, as if the position of the commander of the forbidden army was not so important.

At a time when everyone was concerned about vacancy, the commander of the forbidden army in his thirties suddenly became the commander of the forbidden army. Tens of thousands of forbidden troops are still hoping that His Majesty the Emperor can reinstate Xu Dianguan, and the new commander of the forbidden army can be said to be promoted three levels in a row. The commander of the forbidden army is not a first-class general, and he is not a second-class general just by leading the forbidden army. For the first time since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, a second-rank military general served as the commander of the forbidden army, and Wang Chen did not expect that the commander of the great commander that everyone was competing for would one day fall on his head out of thin air.

The first thing Wang Chen did when he succeeded as the commander of the forbidden army was not to rectify the forbidden army, but to visit the former commander Xu Dian. Although Xu Dian was dismissed, he was still a first-grade military candidate, as if His Majesty the Emperor was confused, and he had never seen a first-grade military candidate who was not the commander of the forbidden army.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been held hostage by the assassins, had not been to the court for several days, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had ignored the government for a long time, sat on the dragon chair and the chaotic situation suddenly calmed down. Hundreds of vacant posts were only one or two days later, and Zhou Yingxiang, the secretary of the ministry, and the corruption case of Prime Minister Wang An was decided, and three consecutive chapters swept away more than 100 vacant posts. Most of them are middle-aged people who have stayed in their positions for a long time, and many ministers are speechless by a list of emperors. The emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and only in the first year of his reign was vigorous and resolute, replacing a large number of old people in the court with confidants.

Now it is the second time, the second major change of blood in the imperial court. First, a large number of old people who followed the old emperor for more than 20 years, and now a large number of officials involved in the case. A discerning person can see how many wealthy nobles have been killed by rectifying the government and the opposition in the way of promotion.

Under a farce that no one knew, Zhang Bai, the champion Lang, was promoted from the seventh rank of Huangmenlang to the household department three levels in a row. On the other hand, Tanhualang Yu Jian was admitted to the Criminal Department, and it was still a seven-grade civilian custody case. Although Xiao Yin, the prince of the East Palace, competed for various officials, he did not come as swiftly as King Qi.

Xiao Yin, the prince of the closed curtain, appeared for the first time in Jinyuan's Zhang Mansion, where three important figures sat at a small square table. The crown prince Xiao Yin, Zhang Bai, and Zhou Heng, who was just a strategist and never entered the court as an official. The two of them were suddenly surprised by Zhang Bai's unconsciousness, and after Wen Xiaoming's palace prince, he trusted this young man from the south for the first time. However, at the age of early twenties, whether it is a conspiracy or a firmness, it is not what a person in his twenties should have.

Whether it is Zhang Bai or Zhou Heng, after this time, the prince Xiao Yin admires it. Zhang Bai dared to make suggestions, Zhou Heng supported and then the prince Xiao Yin dared to entrust his life with a sentence to save people. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of fakes, but if he is afraid, he does not dare to sit on that throne.

"Which Wen Xiaoming will be sent out of Taiping City smoothly by Zhang Bai's palace, since he is plotting for this palace, he must have gains. Not to mention others, how could Xu Dian not see that it was the palace that sent Wen Xiaoming out of the palace, since Xu Dian could see that his father could not see it. The eyes of a superior stared at Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai said calmly: "Could it be that Your Highness has not yet obtained something more important than Your Majesty's suspicion, but to let go of an assassin who went to see his sister instead of assassinating the royal family." But His Royal Highness has thought about the relationship between Wen Xiaoming and the Jade Beauty, the relationship between the Jade Beauty and Liu Zhixing, and the entire Liu family. After this incident, others dare not say that Liu Zhixing owes His Highness a favor. And this favor was not easy to come by, and Weichen handed over the first gift that Liu Zhixing gave to His Royal Highness. ”

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his waist and put it on the wooden table, and the prince and Zhou Heng looked at this jade pendant strangely. Zhang Bai said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't underestimate this jade pendant, compared to Your Highness and Mr. Zhou, you have already heard that a huge gang has appeared in Xuzhou, the Lotus Gang. This was created by Liu Zhixing, not for anything else, precisely because he wanted to deal with the eyeliner of King Qi in Suizhou, Xuzhou. His Royal Highness the Lotus Gang and Mr. Zhou naturally can't get into the eyes, but the Lotus Gang has a lot of eyeliner and gradually formed a big net to curb the rivers and lakes of Xuzhou Suizhou. ”

Suddenly, not only the prince but even Zhou Heng felt that Liu Zhixing was terrible, but it was just a few months to create a gang of thousands of people. The important thing is who will command, Zhang Baiyan smiled and continued: "These are actually nothing, the biggest role of this jade pendant is the twenty-four boiling eagles that Liu Zhixing will not take with him even if he leaves Taiping City." These twenty-four people are all fierce generals in the thirteenth battalion, according to Liu Zhixing, everyone has the courage of hundreds of unstoppable, and they are all good at killing people in the rivers and lakes, or sharpening soldiers and horses. As long as His Royal Highness has this jade pendant, he can dispatch twenty-four people, even if he can't stop the great grandmaster, he can resist for a moment. ”

Suddenly, Zhang Bai shouted: "Zhao Ping is not going to come out to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

A young man pushed the door and walked in, knelt down and said, "The Centurion of the Thirteenth Battalion of the Last General will personally escort Zhao Ping, the commander of the personal guard, to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Suddenly, the prince's eyes changed suddenly, and he saw that the young man with clear eyebrows turned out to be the centurion of the thirteenth battalion, and he was Liu Zhixing's personal guard. Without a little ability, how could he become a centurion in the 13th battalion of the talented people, and Liu Zhixing brought it back to Taiping City.

Zhao Ping saw that the prince was not only groveling but leisurely, which made the prince Xiao Yin curious about the young general who came from the thirteenth battalion. What I care more about is which one person leads thirteen people to establish Liu Zhixing, who is comparable to the thirteenth battalion of the old battalion, from the Lotus Gang to the eagle, to Zhao Ping in front of him, Xiao Yin is more curious about Liu Zhixing's thirteenth battalion.

At this time, I felt that I had saved a person and gained a lot, not to mention the Lotus Gang, but only to talk about Zhao Ping in front of him, and he was not a simple character. looked at Zhao Ping and said, "Zhao Ping, your general asked you to appear." ”

Zhao Ping calmed down: "Back to Your Highness, from now on, the last general is no longer a member of the thirteenth battalion." The general asked the last general to obey His Royal Highness's military orders, and there were twenty-four people who were willing to die for His Highness. "Kneel heavily. caught the prince off guard.

Zhou Heng looked at Zhao Ping quietly, and then looked back at the crown prince Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin got up and glanced at Zhang Bai, only to see Zhang Bai nodding slowly. Xiao Yin said: "Okay, from today onwards, you will follow this palace." I don't know what you're capable of. ”

I saw that Zhao Ping just glanced at the prince, and a flying knife flew through the prince's neck and stood at Zhou Heng's teacup. Zhao Ping said solemnly: "Back to Your Highness, there is no case of flying knives within 20 zhang of the last general. Among the thirteen battalions, martial arts ranked seventh. ”

"Good who are in the top six." Asked curiously.

Not only was the crown prince Xiao Yin curious, but Zhang Bai and Zhou Heng were also extremely curious about who the mysterious thirteenth battalion was. Zhao Ping's kung fu Zhang Bai has personally tried it, and he will definitely lose within ten moves, and if he adds a flying knife, he is afraid that he will die in a round.

Zhao Ping said without taboo: "Lu Lin, my general Liu Zhixing, forwards Zheng Shuiji, Zheng Shuixin, Gao Xiaolong, Shao Jiu, and then the last general Zhao Ping." The prince looked at Zhao Ping strangely.

Seeing the crown prince nodding, Zhao Ping immediately said: "The general said that if His Royal Highness needs Boss Lu, he can rashly enter the capital as a lone wolf." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Bai looked at Zhao Ping curiously, Zhao Ping's appearance was Liu Zhixing's reward for saving Wen Xiaoming. Hearing that the face of the lone wolf's son, the crown prince, changed suddenly, Zhao Ping explained: "The lone wolf is subordinate to Zheng Shuixin, and the two generals Zheng Shuiji are under the command of more than 300 people, and the eagle can only be regarded as one of them. ”

Zhang Bai immediately explained that he was afraid that the prince would not know the horror of Lu Lin and the Boiling Eagle of the Thirteenth Battalion, so he got up and bowed and said, "Your Highness knows that it is Lu Lin who is blocking General Xu outside the palace, and Your Highness has seen it." It was five of the Boiling Eagle who pretended to be Wen Xiaoming to distract the Forbidden Army's patrol battalion from elsewhere, and His Royal Highness the Weak Prince was not worried that Wei Chen could use this jade pendant to summon the Boiling Eagle. ”

laughed out loud: "What a Liu Zhixing, how many secrets does this palace don't know." No need, Liu Zhixing has given a lot of compensation to the palace. This jade pendant Aiqing is very good to hold, and if you can use it, someone will tell you. ”

Looking at the flying knife standing in front of Zhou Heng, he gently patted Zhao Ping's shoulder and said, "Yes, follow this palace in the future." Go and talk to your general, and this palace will accept his compensation from Liu Zhixing. I hope that when I can use him, I won't let this palace down. ”

A jar of peach blossom stuffed in Liu's mansion tore open the cover, and Yang Luo, the new daughter-in-law who joined the Liu family, pulled up her hair bun. From that day on, he was already a wife, and all those sitting here were relatives. Twelve or thirteen-year-old Liu Xiaoxiao forcibly squeezed in the center of Liu Zhixing and Yang Luo, staring at a big chicken leg on the dinner table.

The pleading eyes stared at Yang Luo and said, "Sister Yang, give me your chicken legs." ”

Joining Liu Mansion, Liu Xiaoxiao's title has never changed, and it has always been Sister Yang. Yang Luo stared at Liu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao called the second sister-in-law, the chicken leg in the bar will be given to you." ”

made Liu Zhixing wonder why Liu Xiaoxiao never changed his words, and the little child left suddenly: "No, you are Sister Yang, and the second sister-in-law is Sister Yulian, not you." Suddenly, everyone in the audience stared at Liu Xiaoxiao.

Yang Chen looked at the small child and didn't know what to say, but Liu Zhixing's heart was chaotic. Yang Luo also remembered which gentle sister Yulian, maybe there will be no more such fine wine in the world with peach blossom brew in the cup, and Yulian is not there.

Liu Ce said: "Xiaochen heard that you will return to Tianshui in some time. ”

"Back to Uncle Liu Shi, Your Majesty has decreed that my nephew will return to Tianshui next month without staying in Taiping City."

Yang Luo looked at his eldest brother at a loss, he didn't expect it to be so fast. Because Liu Zhixing also received the holy decree, he had to leave Beijing and rush to Nanjing three days later. The wedding is only about to be separated in January, and I am a little reluctant. Mrs. Liu, who saw the clue, said: "Xiao Luo, didn't Your Majesty also make an order, every year Erlang will go home for a month." If you stay in Nanjing for a few years, you should come back, they are all young people, and you can't go to Nanjing. ”

Yang Luo's face was flushed, as if the lively Yang Luo had changed a lot after getting married. Yang Luo lowered his head and said, "Mother, Xiao Luo knows." ”

Liu Ce drank the peach blossom brew in one gulp and thought about it, and there was a daughter in the palace. Although His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue it, I am afraid that life in the palace will not be easy now. I didn't tell anyone in the family about it, I was just worried.

After drinking the peach blossom brew in one gulp, Liu Zhixing felt that no matter how good the peach blossom brew was, the taste was no longer as sweet as before, and he was already a husband when he got married, not a husband who missed the girl in his heart. Rushed back from the distant South Mirror, still never saw a beloved girl, the day of marriage, I thought about the people around me, the person next to the pillow was the woman who was locked in the palace wall, never reunited and separated, how can a glass of thin wine be remembered.
