Chapter Forty-Eight: The Prince of Benevolence and Filial Piety

rider says:

"Wei Hou didn't know, it was the prince who was sitting in the car."

Lan Ziyi was surprised when he heard this, and immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground and buckled his head and said:

"Chen Lanzi deserves to die for his righteous crimes, and he dares to disturb the prince's car with no eyes, and asks the prince to forgive his sins."

By this time the guards had led their horses to the back of the line, and the knights of the guards and the guard of honor had lined up again, as if nothing had happened before.

Lan Ziyi knelt on the ground, thinking that he was almost killed by hundreds of officials in the court when he accidentally drove his horse to the imperial bridge the night before yesterday.

Unexpectedly, a soft voice came from the step at this time:

"Where to wait, every time I go out, the honor guard is so solemn, it is already extravagant, and it is my sin to let pedestrians avoid it and hinder the lives of the people. This time, he also surprised Wei Houma, alas, as a prince, he can't set a good example for the world, which is really ashamed of the world. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to the warmth in his heart, he didn't expect the prince to be so gentle, originally King De was extremely fierce, Lan Ziyi thought that the prince would be a little tyrannical even if he was indecisive. This unusual appearance would make other dignitaries angry, but the prince was blaming himself, and the fault was not entirely on the prince. Just these words, Lan Ziyi was already full of affection for the prince.

The prince said:

"At the beginning of the year, Dai Gong attacked Mobei to remove border troubles for my Dazheng, and now Wei Hou has been selected as my brother's attendant, and both father and son are loyal ministers of Dazheng, which is commendable. I've always wanted to invite Wei Hou to the East Palace, and I'll personally treat it, but Wei Hou has only been in the city for three days, and I think about it, I should let Wei Hou rest for a few days. ”

Lan Ziyi knelt on the ground and buckled his head again, and said:

"Thanks to His Royal Highness's love, Ziyi is flattered."

The guard of honor of the convoy had been rearranged, and it was about to start again, and the prince said:

"If Wei Hou doesn't dislike it, let me give you a ride, and by the way, thank your father for the people of Dazheng for me."

Lan Ziyi knelt on the ground and did not move after hearing this, and his heart was full of thoughts,

"The prince invited me to get in the car, but how can I explain when I talk to the prince secretly as an attendant to the king of Germany? As far as King De is concerned, if he knows about this matter, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat. It's better to reject it first. ”

So Lan Ziyi said:

"The prince values Ziyi so much, it is really Ziyi, it should be said that it is the supreme glory of my Lan family. It's just that there must be something wrong with the prince's honor guard, Ziyi's convoy has already delayed the prince's trip just now, where do you dare to delay His Royal Highness again. Besides, Ziyi also has to rush back to King De's Mansion, and he is not on the same road as His Royal Highness, so Ziyi plans to go back by himself, and asks His Highness Haihan. ”

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he seemed to hesitate in the car for a while, and then the prince's voice came out

"It turns out that Wei Hou still has something to do, so I can't bother, next time if I have the opportunity, I will ask Wei Hou to move to the East Palace, and I will entertain Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi was relieved when he heard the prince say this, he didn't expect the prince to speak so well.

It's just that at this time, a person who looks like a scribe under the prince's chariot boarded the chariot and whispered a few words by the car window, and the prince's voice came from the car

"It makes sense, it makes sense, it's my negligence, it seems that I think too little. Luckily, you corrected me in time, or you almost made a mistake. ”

Then the prince said loudly:

"Today, Wei Hou's horse was shocked, and Wei Hou was almost injured, if I didn't even apologize and let Wei Hou go back like this, how would the people of the world say about me? When the hero entered Beijing, as the crown prince, I didn't have a banquet to entertain me, but I met on the road today but didn't invite me to get in the car, that would be rude. You don't have to be polite, just get in the car and talk to me for a while, and express some thanks and apologies below. ”

Lan Ziyi clasped his head to the ground, thinking to himself why he was so unlucky, that little official just now wanted to deliberately harm himself?

Lan Ziyi knelt on the ground and continued:

"The emperor is bedridden, the prince is in charge of the country, and the prince's major military affairs need the prince's work, how can Ziyi's body be embarrassed to delay His Highness. If Your Highness has time in the future, it will not be too late to invite Ziyi, you don't have to do it today. ”

The prince in the car hesitated:

"This, this, Wei Hou really doesn't want to??????"

Seeing this, the little official who got in the car and whispered to the prince suddenly scolded:

"Lord Wait! The prince invited so kindly, but what is your intention to obstruct it in every possible way? Isn't the prince even qualified to invite you into the car? Or is it that only the emperor can invite the guard? ”

When the prince in the car heard it, he hurriedly whispered:

"Don't be rude, I didn't mean that??????"

Lan Ziyi was horrified when he heard this, it would be really serious if he said this, so he hurriedly clasped his head and said:

"Ziyi doesn't dare!"

The little officer next to the car saluted into the car and said:

"The prince is a little restless, don't worry about such trivial things."

che inner prince says:

"If you don't want to, don't be strong, there will be time in the future."

The little official saluted:

"As the prince, he is in charge of the country, and he is in charge of the country, how can he change his word? has to be rejected by his subordinates for no reason, how can he command the world? ”

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi was sure that this little official wanted to take the opportunity to provoke him and King De, but King De looked at him Lan Ziyi was not pleasing to the eye, and it was like that if he didn't provoke or not.

When it came to the crown prince, he continued:

"Wei Hou has made it clear, he has something to do when he returns to the palace, how can he say that there is no reason? Besides, I'm just in charge of the country on behalf of the emperor, and I don't need to command the world, even if I want to command the world, I don't have to be strong, so don't force the guards. ”

The little official was deeply moved, and said:

"It is the prince's internal affairs to supervise the country for the emperor, and it is the minister's internal affairs to contact foreign affairs for the prince, if the prince thinks that the minister has done a dereliction of duty, please ask the prince to dismiss the minister, but before the dismissal, the minister still has to be loyal to the prince."

The prince in the car sighed:

"This, this ??????"

The little official turned to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Lord Wait! Do I want to invite you again? ”

Lan Ziyi had already greeted the female relatives of this petty official's family one by one in his heart, but he couldn't change the reality. So he gritted his teeth and said:

"Chen Lan Ziyi obeys orders!"

Then he got up and walked up, climbed into the chariot and got into the car.

As soon as he arrived at the car door, a familiar feeling came to Lan Ziyi's heart, saying that the familiarity was because Lan Ziyi felt his mother's feeling when he was in Luoyan Pass, that is, the feeling of seeing King De that day, and vaguely the feeling of seeing Long's father-in-law that day. A little eunuch in the car lifted the door curtain, and Lan Ziyi got into the car.

Facing the door, a man in his thirties with a slightly bloated body was sitting behind the table, looking at Lan Ziyi with a smile, this must be the prince.

Although it is said that the crown prince and King De are brothers, the difference between the two is obvious, the prince has big ears, is not handsome, but his face is very kind, and he has a small tuft of beard on his chin. The most important thing is that Lan Ziyi can feel that the spirit exuded by the prince is like a canary in a cage, yes, this is the feeling, it seems gorgeous, and can sing and dance, but it is only confined there, and he seems to have become accustomed to the feeling of being restricted, and he does not think about breaking out of the cage and soaring into the sky. But this is much better than the spirit of King De's mud that can't support the wall, this is at least a soul that stands up, even if it is bound to stand up. Lan Ziyi could feel that the prince's spirit was illuminating the surroundings like a bright lamp, but it was still much dimmer compared to King De.

Lan Ziyi thought to himself:

"What's going on? Why does this feeling happen to other people when you arrive in the capital? And so often. β€œ

However, Lan Ziyi is now in the middle of the road, and he doesn't have so much time to think about it.

After reading the prince Lan Ziyi, he took the time to glance at the car, the step was very gorgeous, fully functional, the stove, the ice box, the tea and hot water, as well as the furniture and accompanying books, it was a mobile room.

Lan Ziyi entered the car, buckled his head and said:

"Chen Lan Ziyi pays a visit to the prince."

When the prince saw Lan Ziyi, he obviously felt uncomfortable, and coughed in a muffled voice, as if someone had knocked him on the chest, but the prince quickly adjusted and said softly:

"You don't have to be polite. Have a seat. ”

After seeing Lan Ziyi on the stool next to him, the prince said to the little eunuch:

"You're ready to go out."

The little eunuch nodded and got out of the car.

At this time, the team had already begun to move, and Lan Ziyi saw that the scenery on both sides of Tianjie outside the window was constantly changing, and the car was swaying slightly.

The prince spoke first:

"Wei Hou is really ?????? It's really high-spirited, brave and fearless, and when I first came in, I thought it was a tiger that only eats people. ”

Lan Ziyi heard the prince say this, and hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head, and said:

"Ziyi grew up at the border since he was a child, he didn't know how to be polite, and he offended the prince."

The prince raised his hand with a smile and said:

"You're welcome, I'm just making an analogy, it's very inappropriate. Sit down, sit down. ”

Seeing Lan Ziyi sit back on it, the prince said:

"I haven't seen Dai Gong, but when I see Wei Hou's bravery, I can imagine how powerful Dai Gong is."

兰子义 says:

"Ziyi must tell his father the prince's praise."

The prince nodded and smiled:

"If I have a chance, I will definitely tell the acting father in person."

Then the prince said:

"Dai Gong bravely crowned the world, and the cold winter Layue went deep into Mobei to defeat my Dazheng Northern Tribulation in one fell swoop, which is definitely a great achievement. Only this time?????? According to the routine, the acting duke should be recruited into Beijing to be crowned as the third duke, and the same is true of the decree drafted by Brother Mingyue in the early stage, but I don't know what the emperor thinks, and this time he will be crowned as the acting duke. β€œ

Seeing that Lan Ziyi was silent when he heard this, the prince hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Wei Hou, don't think about it, I don't mean to belittle the acting father, and it's not that the acting prince is not worthy of this position, I just think this is not in line with the past practice."

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Ziyi understands that in fact, my father himself does not want to be named the acting duke, after all, no matter how great the merit is, he is just a courtier, and he should not have this kind of title."

Then there was a silence in the car, and after a while the prince said:

"Brother, how are you?"

Lan Ziyi didn't hear clearly, looked up and asked:

"What did the prince say?"

ε€ͺ子 says:

"How is King De?"
