Before entering Beijing, Lan Ziyi had always heard that the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River had frequent rain and snow all year round, unlike Luoyanguan, which was a scene of wilderness and low trees in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

But it has been a few days since Lan Ziyi went south, and the sun is shining every day, even more so in the past few days since he entered Beijing, so that Lan Ziyi began to wonder if the person who told him that there was a lot of rain in Jiangnan back then was deliberately deceiving himself.

However, today's drizzle dispelled Lan Ziyi's thoughts, but the rain came really untimely, because today was the day when King De went out to farm.

Since last night, the whole Dewang Mansion has begun to prepare for today's hometown.

Because it was a hasty decision to settle down, all the preparations were not done, the servants and maids of the palace prepared for King De overnight, Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun were born as military generals, so they needed to wear armor and accompany them.

Lan Ziyi asked the Tao brothers to prepare a pair of white and shining silver bright light armor, and instructed the stables to add fodder to the horses in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Lan Ziyi was riding on his steed and moving forward with his head held high, but the drizzle was covering his body, and the armor that he had worked hard to polish was also stuffy with a layer of fine water droplets, and the sky was cloudy, and there was no bright sunshine to brighten the armor on Lan Ziyi's body.

"I got up excitedly last night and wiped it several times, it was really a waste of work."

Lan Ziyi shook his head, secretly laughing at himself in his heart.

Today, Lan Ziyi did not represent the Tao brothers,

Although the Tao brothers resolutely asked to go with Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi refused even more firmly, after all, this is King De's home field for the emperor, and he is accompanied by Yulin's pro-army, so it is inconvenient to insert the Tao brothers in, not to mention that Lan Ziyi wants to keep a distance from them, so he should keep a distance from them.

Lan Ziyi glanced back at the long procession, the long line slowly marched through the mist-shrouded heavenly street, and there seemed to be no end at a glance.

Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun rode side by side in front, Wu Yousi, and Silla prince Li Minchun rode in the second row, not far in front of them were four royal forest knights who opened the way, and behind the four of them were followed by two columns of royal forest knights holding long lances, each of which was lofty, riding on horseback and still standing tall, completely ignoring the wind and rain all the way.

The knights were followed by the guards of the Imperial Guards who walked on foot with banners and umbrellas, and these guards on foot did not wear armor, but wore reddish-brown brocade robes and black sand on their heads, and followed in a neat formation and with the same steps.

Lan Ziyi knew that King De's chariot was following behind the walking team, but in front of the team, Lan Ziyi couldn't even see the faces of the guards holding the flags clearly, and King De's car could only see an outline.

Looking back, Lan Ziyi looked ahead, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Lan Ziyi reached out and touched the rain on his face.

Wu Yousi and Li Minchun behind him were not wearing armor, Wu Yousi was wearing a white robe, and Li Minchun was wearing the outfit of his son. The two of them put on their cloaks when they saw the rain in the morning, and they were not affected by the rain for the time being.

At this time, Wu Yousi, who was following behind Lan Ziyi, said:

"The sun was shining brightly a few days ago, but it rained in the field today."

On the side, Li Minchun opened his mouth and said:

"Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Does Mr. Wu think that this spring rain is not timely? “

Lan Ziyi listened to Wu Yousi's words with a thick accent, thinking that this was the first time he had heard this prince speak.

Wu Yousi smiled after hearing this:

"There has been no rain since the beginning of spring, and this spring rain is of course timely, but it is not appropriate to catch it in time for today's home field. Doesn't His Royal Highness want to pick up a good day for King De to travel? ”

Lee Min Chun replied:

"I'm just the son of Fanbang, I don't dare to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Empire, just follow along."

Wu Yousi laughed when he heard this, and didn't ask.

Qi Rongxun in front said:

"It doesn't matter if it's raining, there are no pedestrians on the road, so there is no need to close the streets. The prince had to let us empty the pedestrians of Tianjie before, and God would have helped. ”

Lan Ziyi also turned his head to look around when he heard this, and there were indeed few pedestrians on both sides of Tianjie. Remembering that yesterday when Gonggong Long was still there, King De still vigorously asked Gonggong Long to send the Imperial Forest Army to block Tianjie, only allowing pedestrians to watch from a distance, not approaching, and asking the capital garrison to help prepare a tent as big as two acres of land. In the end, he was scolded back by Grandpa Long. Although Lan Ziyi was surprised that Gonggong Long dared to scold the prince, he was still inexplicably happy when he saw King De being scolded by others, but King De, who was so arrogant and domineering, was actually obedient in front of Gonggong Long, and even a little scared.

Qi Rongxun continued:

"The whole palace was busy last night, I was thinking about what to be busy with? The step is prepared in the palace, and the guard of honor is ready-made, and the prince only needs to get in the car, and last night he had to let the palace prepare a salute for him. ”

Wu Yousi smiled:

"The prince asked to prepare travel clothes, stoves, ice cubes, fruits, snacks and eagle lackeys or something. A large number of things were prepared, several cars were required to pull them, and more than a dozen servants and maids followed, although all of them were stopped in the palace by Gonggong Long this morning. Today, the prince is very unhappy. ”

Qi Rongxun snorted coldly and said:

"Aren't those two Wang San and Li Si very pleasing to the prince, they have plenty of time in the chariot to make the prince feel better."

Wu Yousi says:

"As a minister, it is more extreme, and of course there are many bonuses when you are pleased, but once the owner is in a bad mood, these people have to suffer. When he got on the bus just now, King De beat and scolded the two, and it was estimated that this trip was not comfortable. ”

On the side, Li Minchun interjected:

"That shows that the two of them didn't touch their master's mind, and those real ministers will never be angry with their master."

Wu Yousi smiled:

"It seems that the prince of the world understands this very well."

李敏春 says:

"Silla is known as the Little Celestial Empire, and I am not surprised that there are all kinds of goods in the court."

Wu Yousi smiled when she heard this, and did not continue to ask Li Minchun, but asked about Qi Rongxun

"Commander Qi, Xiao Sheng has something I don't understand, I don't know if you can answer it for me."

Qi Rongxun slanted his eyes and looked at Wu Yousi, and replied:

"Mr. Wu just asks, don't be restrained."

Wu Yousi asked:

"Before Ling Zun, the Eastern Army faced Daoyi like tofu, what method did Ling Zun use to boost the military prestige?"

Qi Rongxun smiled after hearing this:

"My father moved to the eastern coast for decades, experienced the battle formation, carefully studied the Daoyi tactics, specially explored a set of formations to restrain the Daoyi according to local conditions, and large-scale dismantling of the original veterans who only ate pay and did not fight, and recruited young and strong laborers from the miners, farmers, and fishermen in the east who were simple and brave and good at fighting to train into a new army. Relying on these new armies and my father's innovative infantry formations, we were able to win every battle. “

Wu Yousi nodded as he listened, then changed his words and asked:

"But whether it is training a new formation or disarming and building an army, it needs a lot of silver and the support of the imperial court, but as far as I know, there are no relatives in the court, how did Ling Zun get silver and support?"

After hearing this, Qi Rongxun looked back at Wu Yousi, and saw the smiling face, but Qi Rongxun's own expression was a little stiff.

Qi Rongxun turned his head, laughed dryly twice, and said:

"Taizheng has been poisoned by the island for a long time, and when this country is in trouble, it should be re-armed with military generals, which has nothing to do with whether there is anyone in the court."

Wu Yousi says:

"If this is the case, there is no need for Zhang Rang of the Western Army and the acting duke of the Northern Army to die to tie up with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and it is good to fight with peace of mind. Commander Qi doesn't have to talk about him left and right, everyone knows what things are like, but they don't know what line Commander Qi is taking, just think it's a heart-to-heart conversation between friends and tell Xiaosheng. “

Qi Rongxun obviously didn't know how to deal with these words, and responded stiffly:

"Does this matter matter?"

Wu Yousi smiled:

"If there is, of course it matters."

Qi Rongxun couldn't find anything to say for a while, but Li Minchun said at this time:

"Why is Mr. Wu so aggressive, who can not have some secrets? Do you have to take it out and tell someone? Mr. Wu just asked why I don't care about Lord De, in fact, I am very curious about something. The ministers of the court and the central government were all against King De's hometown, so how did Gonggong Long persuade the ministers to agree to let King De come out in advance? Does Wei Hou know? “

Lan Ziyi heard that Wu Yousi was questioning Qi Rongxun's details, in fact, he also wanted to take the opportunity to hear how Qi Rongxun dealt with this matter, and he Qi Rongxun was obviously not very good at dealing with this kind of thing, maybe he could ask something, now Li Min Chunming was about to change the topic, Lan Ziyi couldn't understand why this Silla prince wanted to block the gun for Qi Rongxun, he still didn't want to take it, and he didn't know much about the specific direction of the court, so he replied:

"I don't know much about the big things in the court, the prince is asking the wrong person, and the prince is disappointed."

Li Minchun turned to ask Wu Yousi:

"Mr. Wu seems to know the affairs of the imperial court in detail, and please ask Mr. Wu not to shirk and answer for me."

Wu Yousi glanced at Li Minchun, smiled and said:

"It is impossible to convince, the courtiers have a backbone, where will they give in easily."

Lee Min Chun asked:

"Then why did it come out in the end?"

Wu Yousi says:

"Since you can't convince you, just convince you. Last night, the head of the household department and the head of the Ministry of Rites personally led people to kneel in front of the arch gate overnight, asking to meet the emperor in person, and wrote to impeach King De, and the minister of Si Tianjian also wrote to the emperor that today was not an auspicious day for Tian Liangchen, and asked for another day. As soon as the palace door opened this morning, the emperor moved the court staff, and at this time, a few adults were estimated to have just been sent home to lie down. ”

Li Minchun's face tense when he heard this, Lan Ziyi thought that this trip was agreed by the ministers, but now it seems that this time it was the overlord who made a bow.

When a few people chatted, the team walked quietly through the capital, and the shops on both sides of the heavenly street were empty and open, silently watching the team of Jitian, as if they also wanted to take the opportunity to collect some gossip from the words of these close ministers of the king of Germany, so that they could make good use of it during the pastime after dinner.

Lan Ziyi and they rode a horse on the bluestone slab, and the sound of stepping on the slate in the drizzle was very special, and the uncrisp jingle sound was mixed with the sound of splashing.

Lan Ziyi could confirm that their conversation would not reach the ears of the residents outside Tianjie, but the tall figure of Wenchangmen in the outer city still made Lan Ziyi feel more at ease, after all, after leaving the minister, there was really no one to hear.
