In my life, I have encountered too many strong enemies, some stronger than me, some more vicious than me, and some more cunning than me, all kinds of things.

But if you want to say that there is only one person who makes me really feel sorry, that is Ji Shaojun.

Only his death will make me sad, and I don't know how to describe my special friendship with him.

From the first time they met, they had a good impression, and in the end, they worked for the eldest prince and the third prince respectively, and they were distinct, but it was still difficult to hate him.

Even if he covers me up, I will be jealous, but that is normal jealousy, I don't admit defeat and don't want to admit that I am not as good as others.

But at this moment, I obeyed, completely surrendered to his personality.

I'd rather die than give in, even if I know that I might fail today, I still move forward like a moth to a fire, this kind of courage I don't have.

When the guards of the Shenwei Battalion saw that Ji Shaojun had committed suicide and wanted to rush down, I raised my hand to stop the guards, strode down the stairs, walked to the bridge, and looked at the body of Ji Shaojun who had fallen into the river below.

The blood had already stained the clear river red, and Ji Shaojun's appearance looked so full of sadness.

Without superfluous words, I put the gun on the bridge, then rolled over the guardrail and jumped into the river.

……

With Ji Shaojun's suicide, the rebellion of the Praetorian Guard was announced, and then the military headquarters sent people to take all the rebel soldiers away and wait for the trial of the military court.

The palace finally fell silent again, and the queen summoned me to once again commend me and the guards of the Kamui Battalion for their bravery in this incident, and said that she would reward me.

I thought of those brothers who died in battle, and Song Chaoyi, who unfortunately died in battle, and expressed my wish to the empress, I don't want any reward, but leave it all to the families of the guards who died in the Shenwei Camp.

The queen praised me even more.

The eldest prince smiled and said, "Xiao Kun, there are not many selfless people like you now, it's rare!" ”

On the surface, it sounds like the eldest prince is also complimenting me, but I always feel weird and a little unnatural.

After that, the queen arranged for someone else to take over, and the eldest prince and I were responsible for dealing with the problems of the three princes, and told us that the problems of the three princes could be punished as lightly as possible.

The eldest prince and I respectfully agreed.

While they were talking, the four princes rushed over.

When he came, he looked like a dusty servant, and when he entered the door, he asked about the queen's situation, expressing his great concern for the queen's safety.

But I know that with his ability, it is absolutely impossible not to know about the rebellion of the Praetorian Guard, whether he will come early or late, what is it that is not pretending?

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, this fourth prince is really hypocritical.

Although the rebellion of the Praetorian Guards has been announced, the clan assembly will be held the next day, because it has been delayed for a long time, so even if such a big event happens in the palace, it is impossible to postpone it any longer.

So what we have in front of us is still a very difficult situation.

If the eldest prince loses the election, then we will be faced with two choices, one is to accept the result and accept defeat, and the other is to resolutely launch a mutiny like the third prince.

After this Praetorian Guard mutiny, I am not so optimistic about the mutiny.

If one is not handled properly, then today's fate of Ji Shaojun will be my end.

When I came out of the queen's place, the eldest prince gave me a look and whispered, "Xiao Kun, after dealing with the affairs in the palace, come to my mansion for a meeting in the evening." ”

I nodded in understanding.

Then he got busy in the palace.

There is still a lot of work to be done to deal with the aftermath, counting the names of the dead and wounded, visiting the injured guards, and so on.

Especially when I visited the injured guards, I was even more shocked.

It also made me understand that the consequences of rash use of force will be serious, very serious.

……

After dealing with the affairs in the palace, I temporarily asked Xiao Churui to be on duty in the palace on my behalf, and then left the palace and went to the Grand Prince's Mansion.

Originally, I didn't want Xiao Churui to be in power, but now that Song Chaoyi has unfortunately died, only Xiao Churui is left as an assistant, and no one is available.

When I arrived at the gate of the Great Prince's Mansion, the Marquis had been waiting for me at the door for a long time, and as soon as he saw me, he greeted me and said, "Xiao Kun, the Great Prince, Xiao Lao, and Xiao Ming have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. ”

I said, "There's a lot to deal with today, and I'll be here as soon as I'm done." ”

The Marquis nodded and said, "Come in with me." "After speaking, lead the way in front and lead me to meet the eldest prince and them.

Hou Junjue said as he walked: "I just heard the eldest prince talk about today's situation, it's really hanging, and it's a shame that you blocked Ji Shaojun's fierce attack, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I said, "I tried my best, and to be honest, I wanted to run away several times." ”

Hou Junjue smiled: "I believe that you will be able to withstand it in the end, and you really did not disappoint me." ”

I said, "Is Xiao Ming coming?" ”

Hou Junjue said: "Here, he is accompanying the eldest prince and Xiao Lao." After speaking, he paused, and continued: "Xiao Kun, I have to remind you that Xiao Ming is very good at slapping the big prince's ass, you have to be careful, maybe he will surpass you at some point." ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother, for reminding me, I believe that Your Highness will not treat me badly." ”

Having said that, it is beautiful, but I feel a little aggrieved in my heart.

What the hell, Lao Tzu worked hard to help the eldest prince fight down the country, why did he sit back and enjoy his success?

But if the eldest prince really values him, there is nothing I can do.

However, I don't think I have to endure this kind of wretched spirit for long.

Arriving outside the hall, I heard the laughter of Xiao Lao, the eldest prince, and Xiao Ming from afar, and it sounded like they were in a good mood, but then again, today's victory over the three princes will bring down the biggest mountain in front of them, who would be unhappy?

Including me, although I know that Xiao Ming is very good at drilling camps and poses a big threat to me, but I am still in a good mood when I think of bringing down the third prince.

It's just a minor issue, and I'm sure I'll be able to settle it.

Walking into the hall, the eldest prince and Xiao Lao saw me coming, and they all smiled and beckoned me to come and sit.

Even Xiao Ming, who had always spoken coldly to me, showed a smile and said with a smile: "Brother Kun, you are really heroic today, leading the Shenwei Battalion to block the Praetorian Guard, it is a miracle, and people have to be convinced." ”

I laughed and said, "Boss Xiao has won the award, mainly because the fighter jets of the military department have deterred Ji Shaojun, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "If there is no Brother Kun to block Ji Shaojun's attack, even if the military department sends the falcon over, it will be useless, and no one can deny Brother Kun's merits." ”

Xiao Lao smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to Brother Kun, otherwise we would have been defeated." Well, now that I think about it, I still feel afraid, just a little bit, Ji Shaojun's army drove straight into the palace and killed it, and the consequences were unimaginable. ”

The eldest prince said: "If according to my meaning, Xiao Kun's contribution this time is so great, at least he can be crowned a marquis." ”

The eldest princess said, "Your Highness, why don't you help Xiao Kun apply." ”

I made great contributions in the Murong Hang Incident before, and the queen personally promised that she would make me an earl, but the queen said that she would wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne and be canonized by the new emperor.

Now that the official canonization ceremony has not yet been held, the eldest princess proposed to promote me to the rank of marquis, and in a short period of time, it is absolutely a very rare thing to be promoted to two levels in a row.

The marquis is not more than ordinary, Hou Yibai has served the royal family all his life, and has sacrificed his life to protect Emperor Zhengming many times, and finally was named a marquis, which is already a great honor, I am not yet thirty years old, if I am promoted to a marquis, I will become the first person in Dayan throughout the ages.

So I'm more excited about being promoted to marquis, but I've already said beautiful things in front of the queen today, so I can't go back.

Besides, I would rather exchange the title of Marquis for some substantial reward for my fallen brothers.

So I said some humble words, but Xiao Lao was not happy on the spot when he heard my words, saying that I should be promoted to marquis, and I deserved it, and strongly agreed with letting the eldest prince apply for the title of marquis for me.
