At this point, Lin Xiu had a feeling of heartache, he thought that the title of General Zhongwu was His Majesty's recognition of himself, who would have thought that he was just a famous man under the balance of imperial power! I really don't know if it's sad or ridiculous.

Qin Yuzhi looked at Lin Xiu's calm and angry appearance, although he couldn't bear it, but in fact, he couldn't do anything, all he could do was to follow Qin Yi's words and keep the Northern Frontier pillar in front of him away from the whirlpool of power as much as possible.

"Zhong Yi, you have to understand, merit and misfortune, blessing and misfortune depend on each other, Your Majesty gave you a loyal general, which is all due to the situation in Zhongdu, it has both grace and reward mixed within, restraining your power, but also to give uncertain courtiers a signal, let them understand that Your Majesty is a king with a broad heart, but all merit, can be tolerated, in addition to this is also a warning, there are not only Prince Qing, Prince Lian and other noble veterans, but also a rising loyal monarch like you, who wants to make trouble... Be careful! ”

Hearing so much for a while, Lin Xiu's heart was confused, he was just a student on the poor road, adhering to the original meaning of the emperor's grace, and the security of the people to this point, but who would have thought that the closer to the central capital, the higher the position, the more dangerous it became.

"Whew..."

After a while, Lin Xiu exhaled the turbidity in his chest, and he got up and bowed to Qin Yuzhi: "Brother Yuzhi, thank you for your mention, and thank you for your concern, Zhong Yi is here... Thanks! ”

Zhongdu Dongcheng, Chongrenfang, Yinji Commercial Bank.

Wang Fan, the shopkeeper in front of the hall, was napping against the counter table, at this time, a small servant came in from behind, and said a few words to his ear, Wang Fan woke up suddenly, so he said to the little servant: "Close the door immediately, I will go to meet the master!" ”

After Wang Fan finished speaking, the little servant got up and came to the front of the store, began to put up the door panel, and then hung up the sign to suspend the rest.

The king quickly came to the backyard warehouse, he looked left and right, to make sure that there was no one, then entered through the side door of the warehouse, in the side doorway, there was a dustpan hanging on the wall, Wang Fan turned slightly, the wall opposite the dustpan basket turned open, a pavilion door appeared, Wang Fan entered the pavilion door, along the underground stairs forward, in the underground secret room, a scribe was waiting.

"Wang Fan didn't know that your lord was here, please forgive me!"

"Excuse me!" Scribe Wu Fan said: "This time, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a life, and he needs to rely on the power of Er!" ”

"The order of the subordinates is given by the King of Qin, as long as His Royal Highness says a word, the subordinates will go to the soup and the fire, and they will not give up!"

Wu Fan handed over a letter, Wang Fan took it and read it carefully, and immediately turned around and placed the letter in the oil lamp tray and burned it to ashes.

"My lord, since His Highness and the university scholar have ordered you to supervise this matter, then your subordinates must be dispatched by your lordship!"

"You immediately tell me about Prince Qing's Mansion and other nobles!" Wu Fan sat down, he held a cinnabar pen in his hand, and took Wang Fan's words as a clue, constantly outlining the forces of all parties in the capital on the rice paper in front of him, in order to get through and make it easier to act.

"My lord, Prince Qing was ordered by His Majesty to lead the Nine Gates of the Central Capital Forbidden Army, the palace guard and the forbidden army pavilion were returned to Zhonglang General Yu Changhai, Prince Yong and Prince Gong were all sick at home, in addition, the news of Nangong's resurrection from the dead had come a day ago, and his subordinates were investigating the truth!"

Wang Fan said in a loud voice, after the words were finished, this Wu Fan also roughly depicted the current power of the central capital, generally speaking, although Prince Qing is in charge of the military power of the central capital, he has become a foreign general, and the inner palace of the imperial city is all under the command of Lang General Yu Changhai, from which it can be inferred that His Majesty is forced by the situation to use Prince Qing, and this just lays a hidden danger for His Royal Highness and the plan of the university scholar to drive the tiger to touch the scales.

"It is true that Nangong Bao came back from the dead, and the target of His Royal Highness's secret move this time is Nangong Bao and his father, His Royal Highness wants to cut off the wings of Emperor Xia Wu and make him a lonely person!"

Wu Fan pondered for a moment, and explained to Wang Fan: "You immediately take someone to the surroundings of Prince Yong's mansion, spread the trend, and send another person to the capital to report the secret, saying that Prince Yong is unwilling to rest sick and lose power, and secretly provokes Prince Qing's military might!" ”

Imperial City, Taihe Palace.

Emperor Xia Wu listened to Du Ruting's report, his heart was confused for a while, at this time it had been half a year since the western expedition to the King of Qin, and he saw with his own eyes that Nangong Bao was defeated by the King of Qin, in what kind of chaotic war situation, Nangong Bao did not die, it was really unexpected, as the emperor, the edicts of words and rewards were all sent to Prince Qing's mansion, announcing the courtiers to the world, and even offering Nangong Bao's heroic soul sacrifice to Xia Wugong Pavilion, this incense and candle have not been burned, and people are alive again, what is it?

"Alas... What a trick! ”

Emperor Xia Wu couldn't help sighing, Du Ruting pondered for a moment, and wrote: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Royal Highness is worried about the prestige of the heroic soul, but at the moment it is the Yan army war, and the courtiers' attention is on the Jianghuai Yan army, this Nangong Bao can come back to life, but a wave under the flood waves, and Nangong Bao is extremely brave, Yu Majesty is a great help, under the power of the army, there is such a strong general, plus the command of Prince Qing, he can definitely press those young people on the soles of their feet, and they can't move... Therefore, the minister suggested that His Majesty immediately comfort the former emperor and bless him, so as to issue a decree to seal Nangong Bao as a hero, promote the army to the third level, and lead the general of the prison gate, so as to protect the gate of the capital! ”

Jiumen Zhongdu Battalion, this newly established military center has become Nangong Qingyu's second home, since the leadership of the army to protect the central capital, this veteran over sixty years old has almost never left here, plus day and night hard work, Nangong Qingyu's old face is white, wrinkled and sunken, and there is no glory and blessing of the prince at all.

After half a year, life and death blows, at this time, seeing Nangong Bao come back, Nangong Qingyu burst into tears, in the face of his son's voice, if he didn't care about the military prestige, he would definitely howl and cry, of course, when Nangong Bao hurriedly came to meet Lao Tzu, Zhu Suifeng had already arrived first, and informed the old prince, lest the old prince rush to the body with joy, and then there would be other accidents.

"Bao'er... It's good to be alive... It's good to be alive! ”

Nangong Qingyu is a veteran of the battlefield in the end, but in an instant, he has controlled his emotions, Nangong Bao got up and sat close to each other, looking at his father's old appearance, he already had hatred in his heart.

At this time, the imperial order came here, as usual for Nangong Qingyu to present the emperor's banquet 36 health dishes, Nangong Qingyu knelt down to thank him, but Nangong Bao was cold and motionless, the imperial order was suspicious for a while, Nangong Qingyu noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly signaled Hu Zong, the right leader in front of the tent, to send it, Hu Zong took out a bag of broken silver and handed it to the royal order, and sent it out of the camp in person.

Walking to the front of the camp gate, the imperial gate commander said sharply: "General Hu, is it wrong for our family to look at the prince?" Your Majesty rewarded the prince with health vegetables, how could he not kneel and thank him? Could it be that what does the prince think of His Majesty? ”
