After Liu Jian was deposed of the title of prince, Murong Ling pulled Li Xiaofei and wanted to go back to Jinling, not to fight for Liu Jian for the prince, but that Murong Ling, the prince, and Li Xiaofei, the prince, had not been dismissed, and Murong Ling had to perform his duties.

Li Xiaofei couldn't cry or laugh, although he was squeezed out by Wang Xian in Chang'an, he didn't want to be charged with escaping again, so he still chose to stay in Chang'an. Seeing Li Xiaofei's resolute attitude, Murong Ling shook his hand and left, turned around and said, "Fool, you haven't given me the coffin money yet, if you want to die, you have to wait for me to come back."

Li Xiaofei looked at Murong Ling and got on the horse blankly, and suddenly remembered something: "Murong, help me go to Shou County to see Hongrui and Youran!" ”

Murong Ling didn't pause, only said, "Okay", and rode east.

Jinling's side did not want these two to assist the new prince, but the competition was fierce that day, and no one remembered that when they issued the edict, they forgot to remove Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei from their official positions.

Xiao Ding successfully recruited Pharmacist An Zhu and returned to Jinling, and everyone was happy. Xiao Ding proudly placed the coral rockery in the courtyard and invited everyone to come and enjoy it together.

Xiao Shan was taken aback, although there was also a coral rockery in his house, but it was only one-fifth the size that Xiao Ding brought back. Xiao Shan walked around the coral rockery, and kept stretching out his hand to rub: "The right man went on a blind date into the tiger and wolf's lair, I don't want to get such a treasure, it seems that Zhu Yaoshi is also a smart person, and he is willing to pay for his blood."

Xiao Ding touched his beard: "The one who gave me the right prime minister is so valuable, you, the left prime minister, want to send you a gold mountain."

Chen Hongyi's brother Chen Hongda heard that someone brought back the coral rockery from the north, so he came to distinguish the true from the fake. Chen Hongda knocked up and down, and looked inside and out: "I thought that I could only get this thing in the South China Sea, and I didn't want to have it in the north, it seems that there will be more and more treasures in the future."

Xiao Ding was a little displeased: "According to Lord Chen's meaning, this thing is worthless, so it's my turn?" ”

Chen Hongda smiled: "No, no, no, the right prime minister misunderstood, maybe it's just a lonely and unheard-of thing, this thing is indeed a treasure in the world"

Yuan Kang was very envious: "Presumably, Lord Chen lives in Lingnan and has seen a lot of treasures, so it is not surprising that this coral is not useful, if Lord Chen also sends me some corals that he can't use, I will not refuse."

Xie Rui was not interested in this rockery, but only said some words of praise, and then asked Xiao Ding: "What does the right prime minister think about the combat strength of the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhu Yaoshi?" These people are only temporarily attached to my Daliang, in fact, they are still in Youzhou, I am afraid that he will have trouble in the future."

Xiao Ding received a lot of property from Pharmacist Zhu, and said that Pharmacist Zhu's subordinates were weak and their armor was broken, so there was no need to worry. Xiao Shan was an understanding person, and his face darkened suddenly: "If Pharmacist Zhu is just such a combat force, how can he not be annexed by the Mobei foreign clan?" I'm afraid that the right prime minister is not using people's money to cover up for others."

Xiao Ding patted his head: "This Zhu Yaoshi borrowed 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Goryeo Kingdom, I actually forgot to say that Zhu Yaoshi relied on these 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and Mobei didn't dare to attack him." I see this man as greedy for money, and he can use it for us."

Xiao Shan smiled: "He's in his thirties, is he really just greedy for money?" ”

Xiao Ding tried to recall: "I have been in contact with him for a few days, and there are really no women around him, and it is common for this person to come from a poor background, and it is common for him to have no female companions."

Xie Rui clapped his hands: "He is from a pariah, if there is a distant branch of a family who marries him, then he is also high, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Ding: "Our Xiao Mansion, I'm afraid there is no suitable person"

Yuan Kang came to the spirit at this time: "I have accepted a few righteous daughters, who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I think I can choose one person to marry."

Everyone looked at Yuan Kang together: "Then there is Lao Wang Situ, this matchmaking thing is still done by the right prime minister!" ”

After everyone summed it up, they were about to eat together, when someone suddenly reported urgently: "Taishi Murong Ling has returned to Jinling, and he went straight to the palace!" ”

"How many men and horses did he bring", everyone suddenly became nervous, thinking that Murong Ling had come back with soldiers and horses

"The Taishi is one person and one horse, and there are no soldiers and horses to follow!"

The crowd let out a long sigh of relief

"Prepare the carriage and enter the palace!"

"Go and order the gates to close the gates!"

"Go and tell Zhongyitang!"

"Hurry up and inform the officials above 2,000 stone in Beijing to enter the palace quickly!"

Everyone was busy, and they each got into a carriage and ran to the palace.

When everyone rushed to the gate of the palace, Murong Ling was sitting at the gate of the palace drinking.

Murong Ling put on the court robe of the Taishi for the first time, the purple court robe was embroidered with a unicorn woven with gold thread on the chest, and the cuffs were trimmed with gold and were pulled up by Murong Ling. Murong Ling's long knife slashed down from his left waist and rested on the steps.

Seeing the officials panting and climbing up towards him step by step, Murong Ling leaned his neck and took a sip of wine: "Everyone, no courtesy!" ”

Everyone bent over, some hands propped up on the steps in front of them, looking like they were worshipping Murong Ling from a distance, hearing Murong Ling say these four words, they were almost dizzy, Yuan Kang was about to gasp and reason with Murong Ling, Murong Ling immediately got up and strode towards Chengqing Palace.

Everyone wanted to catch up with Murong Ling, Murong Ling took ten steps, and they only took a step and had to take a breath, looking very embarrassed.

Murong Ling had the intention of tricking them, so he walked out three steps and then took two steps back and waited for them.

After half an hour, Murong Ling finally entered the main hall with a large group of courtiers who were sweating profusely and panting.

The emperor also knew the news of Murong Ling's return to Jinling, so he had been waiting for Murong Ling to come in the main hall.

Murong Ling didn't kneel down when he saw the emperor, but just kept looking at the emperor.

The ministers still knelt three times and bowed nine times according to etiquette, and Qin Zhong was just about to speak out to question Murong Ling, but was stopped by the emperor.

The emperor wanted to explain the matter of the abolition of the crown prince, so he smiled and said: "Master Murong, this abolished prince is also ready to be sent, and I also ask the prince to understand my painstaking efforts."

Murong Ling also smiled: "I am the Grand Master, naturally I want to assist the prince, I will accompany whoever Your Majesty appoints, and the emperor is naturally right."

Only then did the ministers remember that they had forgotten to remove Murong Ling's Grand Master, so they all played to remove Murong Ling from the position of Grand Master.

The emperor looked at Murong Ling while speaking comfortingly, but Murong Ling shouted at Qin Zhong: "You, bring the crown prince!" ”

Although Qin Zhong didn't know what Murong Ling was going to do, this person was loyal to the emperor, so he pursed at a few of the inner eunuchs, and several of the inner eunuchs turned around and went to the East Palace.

The more noisy the ministers became, the more energetic they became, and they knelt down together to ask the emperor to get rid of Murong Ling.

Murong Ling pulled out his long knife and flicked it a few times: "Your Majesty, I remember that I have the right to cut first and then play, I might as well come and play while chopping today, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Murong Ling put the long knife on Xiao Shan's neck. Everyone immediately quieted down, and the emperor stood up from the throne: "Taishi, put away the knife, these are important ministers of the court, and they can't be killed at will!" ”

As soon as the emperor pleaded, Yuan Kang became emboldened: "Murong Ling's hall drew a sword and bullied the prime minister, how different is it from rebellion, everyone can be punished for such anti-thieves!" ”

Murong Ling jumped up and jumped to the throne: "My Taishi is sealed by the emperor, and he goes to the palace with his sword, and he is not named, but you frame me for rebellion, it seems that I will cut off your tongue first!" ”

After saying that, Murong Ling jumped down and landed in front of Yuan Kang, Yuan Kang was so frightened that he fell backwards, and was stuck in the neck by Murong Ling's left hand, Murong Ling waved the knife in his right hand, and half of Yuan Kang's tongue fell to the ground, leaving more blood. Murong Ling let go of Yuan Kang, and Yuan Kang rolled on the ground, his mouth slurred, and he couldn't hear whether he was wailing or scolding.

The rest of the ministers trembled, and some of them fainted in fright.

At this time, the inner eunuchs reported the infant prince together, Murong Ling walked over with a knife, everyone didn't dare to make a sound, just watched, and the emperor stood up again: "Taishi, he is still a baby, please let him go"

Murong Ling didn't answer immediately, but gently hugged the little prince over and held him in his arms: "Your Majesty, the minister is the prince, and since he has been the prince to protect the prince, I will take the prince away today, if the prince is changed in the future, it will be taken again." ”

After saying that, Murong Ling teased the little prince, and the little baby kept laughing.

The emperor also smiled and looked at the ministers who were lying on the ground and did not dare to come out: "Do you still have objections?" ”

Except for Yuan Kang, who was still rolling and slurring in his mouth, the rest of the people were silent. After all, Murong Ling hadn't spoken yet, and he was afraid that he would say something wrong.

Murong Ling smiled: "Your Majesty asked them what they were doing, the minister is the Taishi, and this matter should be handed over to the minister." Retire! ”

Murong Ling protected the little prince with his left hand, and with a knife in his right hand, he went out of the palace gate and the palace gate.

When leaving the palace gate, more than 100 killers of Zhongyitang were waiting outside the palace gate early, led by Yuan Zhong, the leader of Zhongyitang, Yuan Zhong clenched his fists with both hands: "Taishi will die today, Yuan Mou is here to mourn!" ”

Murong Ling didn't answer, and with a wave of his left hand, he threw the little prince into a magpie's nest on the top of a big poplar tree. With a swing of the knife in his right hand, he came to cut Yuan Zhong, but Yuan Zhong hurriedly threw his shield left and right, and Yuan Zhong was not killed on the spot.

Murong Ling saw that he missed the blow, so he retreated to the city wall, and everyone took out bows and arrows to shoot, but Murong Ling had already taken out a few paper bags from his arms and threw them, and the lime powder in the sky suddenly blinded everyone. Yuan Zhong closed his eyes and scolded: "You actually use such an indiscriminate method as sprinkling lime, what kind of hero are you?" ”

Murong Ling didn't pay attention to it, jumped up on the tree, picked up the little prince, and ran out along the city wall. The defenders from all over the city wall also chased after them, but Murong Ling bumped into the team with the largest number of people, and in the blink of an eye, the soldiers all rolled to the ground and hugged their legs and covered their arms.

Murong Ling was not in a hurry to escape, but turned back to the city and bought a black horse, and rode out of the city with a swagger, followed by a large number of soldiers and killers but did not dare to move. As soon as Murong Ling turned around, everyone took a few steps back, and Murong Ling laughed: "It seems that the ancients said that Zhao Zilong was too lucky, and he met so many opponents, but I can't!" ”

After teasing everyone, Murong Ling suddenly urged the black horse under his crotch to rush out of the Xuanwu Gate, and before the ambushed crossbowmen could release their arrows, Murong Ling disappeared without a trace on one horse!
