The next morning.

Ji Qi mentioned the incident of the Hun cavalry in Pingliang Pass. Roughly the same as yesterday's cabinet discussion, Ji Qi transferred 5,000 cavalry from the forbidden army camp, and ordered King Jing Ji Yuan to lead the army to the outside of the pass as soon as possible, so as to drive the Huns away and restore the peace of the people on the border.

Yes, King Jing.

In the appointment issued together in the early dynasty, there was also Prince Jiyuan, the third prince, named King Jing.

This is the first of the five princes to give up the battle for the throne and be crowned king.

But not really. Among the princes of the past dynasties, there is also a precedent of being crowned king, but finally entering the capital and ascending to the throne.

Ji Yuan is the same, both have military power.

…………

----------------------------------

"The third is the king."

There was no joy or anger in the calm voice.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, one less competitor."

When the person sitting in front of him heard this, he stood up and bowed his head in congratulations.

Listening to his words, the person who spoke before was also a prince.

The prince was still not happy or angry, "The third is to lead the troops out of Beijing." ”

When the man heard this unpreamble remark, he did not show a look of surprise, obviously he heard the meaning of the words.

"Will the three princes follow Kandi's example?"

Emperor Kang was the one who was the queen, held the military power, and finally returned to the capital to seize the throne.

When he mentioned Kandi, he wanted to ask if it was possible for Ji Yuan to use a trick to hide away from the capital and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. After the results of the battle between the princes in Beijing, he will lead the army back to the capital and take back the throne.

The prince shook his head, "The third prince is not here, this can be confirmed." ”

"I'm not worried about that. Having a general guarding the frontier is a good thing for my Great Zhou. ”

"Hehe, I'm just worried that my big brother will do something stupid again."

He chuckled lightly and raised his head, revealing a pair of wise eyes.

It was the second prince ———— Ji Li.

"Not necessarily, under His Highness, there are still a few shrewd and capable old guys."

The man analyzed.

Ji Li nodded in approval.

"So, it's a pity, there's one less good show!"

-----------------------------------

At this time, Ji Man, who was in the mouth of the two, was organizing a group of strategists to discuss the matter of the three princes going out of Beijing.

"The third brother and his troops left Beijing, but they are not under our noses. Pingliangguan has been his third child's back garden since then. If you want to do something and have the intention to hide it, even your father may not be able to know it in time. ”

Ji Man sat in the first place and said worriedly.

"Then we will unite some ministers and write to prevent the third prince from leaving Beijing, or take away his military power."

One of the people below said viciously.

Ji Man shook his head, "The third child is out of Beijing, it has become a fixed situation, this cannot be changed, if there is no accident, he is the first person among our brothers to hold the power of the army." ”

Ji Man sighed, and there was envy in his voice that was difficult to hide.

"It's better for us to do nothing. He couldn't get out of Beijing in advance. ”

The other said aloud, making a cutting motion in his hand.

When Ji Man heard this, he didn't say yes or no, but looked at the old man sitting first on the left hand side and asked, "What does Yi Lao think?" ”

The old man, known as Yi Lao, opened his half-closed eyes and shook his head.

Yi Lao saw that Ji Man was a little moved, and dispel Ji Man's unrealistic thoughts, "Your Highness, no." Now the three highnesses are the people's aspirations and expectations, and it is the time when the prestige is at its peak. It will only take your future in vain. ”

Yi Lao saw Ji Man's disappointment, sighed secretly, and persuaded slowly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old man sees that the third prince is frank and ambitious." This time I went out of Beijing, I must be dedicated to my big week. ”

Looking at Ji Man's hesitation, Yi Lao continued: "What's more, now that my whole Great Zhou is pinning my hopes on the Third Highness, if the army is defeated, he will be the sinner of my Great Zhou, let alone worry." ”

Listening to Yi Lao's consolation, Ji Man nodded silently and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

…………

--------------------------------

The Three Princes' Mansion, no, it should be called the Jingwang Mansion now.

In King Jing's mansion, Ji Yuan and Ji Yu sat opposite each other.

"I never thought that the words of the third brother were still in my ears that day, but it came to the day when we really wanted to separate."

Ji Yu was the first to break the silence and spoke.

"The war is urgent, and tomorrow, I will go on the expedition. The third brother has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. ”

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and replied.

Ji Yu: "I know, I finally have a place where you can show your strength, third brother, and I'm happy for you." ”

Ji Yuan picked up the wine glass and raised it to his chest, "The Huns are rampant, the third brother is going, I don't know how, but I will do my best." ”

Ji Yu also raised his wine glass, "The third brother is skilled in soldiers and horses, and he will definitely be able to win and return triumphantly." ”

"Third brother rest assured, everything in Beijing has me."

The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, and drank the wine in their cups together.

…………

Out of King Jing's mansion, Ji Yu shook off his brain, which was a little dizzy from drinking.

The third brother is out of Beijing, I don't know when I will be able to come back again, and if it is time for me to be crowned king, I don't know when I will be able to see each other again.

Refusing Liu Jun's support, Ji Yu put away the reluctance in his heart and sighed.

Liu Jun thought that Ji Yushi was worried about Ji Yuan, so he persuaded: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Your Highness is strong in martial arts, familiar with military books, proficient in the way of using soldiers, this expedition will definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

Without much explanation, Ji Yu nodded.

"Well, it will!"
