Chapter 308: People's hearts are fickle

"Palm Lamp!"

A female crown ran over, lit a candle in her hand, and then opened her other hand to block the flames and prevent them from being extinguished by the wind.

The faint candlelight reflected the nine faces in front of the cliff, among which the slightly embarrassed face was Feng Duo's, and the other eight people were a little raw, looking closely, Zhu Qiming realized that they were from the newly recruited two thousand Beijing army.

Zhu Qiming's gaze swept over the eight Beijing soldiers, "Why are you here?" โ€

The eight people looked at each other, and one of them said boldly: "Tell Your Highness, the little ones are here according to Gonggong Feng's orders." โ€

The corners of Zhu Qiming's mouth slanted, and murderous anger appeared on his handsome face, "Without the order of the king, without the orders of the Tang Dynasty, what crime should be committed to leaving the camp without permission!" โ€

"Your Highness." Feng Duo turned his head and looked at Ling Xudao Elder and the Female Crown of Candles, "As a eunuch of the prison army, the Sprinkle family should pay attention to the whereabouts of His Highness. โ€

"Don't forget your original intention!" Zhu Qiming stepped forward slowly, looking down at the face of Feng Duo, who was a head shorter than him, "The Empress Dowager has left a will, and I asked you to serve this king at the beginning, of course this king can see that the Empress Dowager has good intentions!" You must have another copy of the Empress Dowager's testament on you, so that you can make it public as a last resort and protect the king. Moreover, you are the eyes of the Empress Dowager after her death, staring closely at this king in case this king goes astray. But! โ€

Zhu Qiming left Feng Duo, walked a few steps, turned around and pointed at Feng Duo, "I'm afraid you have long forgotten the Empress Dowager's intention to protect the king, and now you just want to act as an eye!" It's a pity that your eye no longer belongs to the Queen Mother, but to someone else! โ€

"The Empress Dowager is virtuous and wants to protect everyone, but the world is impermanent, and future generations must seek more blessings for themselves!" Feng Duo had a cold look on his face, waved his hand to the eight sergeants, and then led the crowd towards the direction of the camp as if no one was around.

"Your Highness, don't forget, the Sprinkle family was an attendant back then, and now they are a prison army, and their identities are very different!"

The wind blew and the candle flame went out. It was the beginning of the war, and it was pitch black.

Ling Xudao walked quickly to Zhu Qiming's side, "Your Highness, what the hell is going on?" โ€

Zhu Qiming put away his sword, silently walked towards the wooden house, heard the rustling footsteps behind him, and said quietly: "Dao Chief, have you also been secretly protecting Xiao Wang on the orders of the Empress Dowager?" โ€

"Knowingly ask!" Even when there was an accident, this made Ling Xudao finally show a bit of intimacy that was deliberately restrained when he faced Zhu Qiming, "Your Highness may not know that only the Empress Dowager believes in Taoism in the palace, and Lingxiao Palace is still expanded by the Empress Dowager with silver!" The Empress Dowager is not only relieved by Her Royal Highness, but also Miss Lu. Once, the Empress Dowager happened to see Miss Lu enter the palace, looked at her back for a long time, and praised her vigorously. โ€

Back in front of the wooden house, the figure flickered in the dark, and Lu Xiyao could be vaguely seen standing against the door. "You're back, are there any thieves?"

"No, it's my own people."

Ling Xudao walked to another wooden house, his long sword dragging on the snow and rattling, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." โ€

There is no one around, and the wooden house can finally become a world for two, but at this moment, Zhu Qiming seems to have forgotten what Wen Cun is, he stepped into the house, and waited for Lu Xiyao to start the previous topic.

Lu Xiyao obviously realized something, "Do you know who was involved in the discussion of the prince before the death of the first emperor?" โ€

"Today's emperor, the king, and ยทยทยทยทยทยท King Xiang. โ€

Lu Xiyao lowered her voice, "According to those three people, this was not the case in the secret at that time, raising the prestige of King Xiang was to suppress others, the young and the young were orderly, and it would not be King Xiang's turn to succeed to the throne at all!" At that time, many people, including King Wei, feared that the weak lord and the strong minister would sow the root cause, and advocated that your father should be the emperor, and the emperor is still the crown prince today. โ€

Zhu Qiming was secretly shocked. "The lord is weak and the minister is strong will sow the root of the curse", this discussion is by no means vain! At that time, Warat was expanding on a large scale, and the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and he did not dare to raise troops to curb Wara's ambitions, all because he was worried that the elite Beijing army commanded by Wuxun would give birth to military generals who supported the army and respected themselves, so that the tail could not be dropped. Therefore, Da Ming missed the best opportunity to hold down the warat!

For more than ten years, in order to prevent chaos in the army, the military power of the military attache has been almost completely dismembered, and it has been suppressed by both civilian and internal officials.

The influence of the weak lord and the strong minister on internal affairs is even more serious. Relying on favors, transactions and other means to maintain the co-governance of the monarch and ministers, allowing the bureaucracy to corrupt on a large scale, and leading the good and decent Chengping world into decline as soon as possible. If it weren't for him, the king of Yue, who stirred up the temple back then, the situation would probably be even worse.

As long as the consequences are used to deduce the beginning, it is not difficult for Zhu Qiming to understand that the call for his father to succeed to the throne must have been very high at that time!

"Oh, they also say that the first emperor left a secret decree." Lu Xiyao opened her mouth again: "Although your father refused to succeed to the throne, King Xiang and other princes who went to the vassal still made a lot of trouble, advocating that the current emperor succeed to the throne, and wantonly attacked your father, which is related to a secret decree of the previous emperor. โ€

That's it! The silk book of the head of Qingsong Dao and the special favor of the emperor's grandmother all have a common purpose: to prevent the Yue Mansion from being liquidated afterwards!

A question flashed through Zhu Qiming's mind, "Why did they talk about these old things for no reason?" โ€

"They came to bring a private letter to King Xiang, King Xiang wanted to enter Beijing to face the saint, and the reply given to them by the imperial chamberlain was: The emperor doesn't want to see King Xiang yet. Perhaps for this reason, the three of them gathered there to complain and reveal a lot of hidden feelings, which scared me a lot at the time. โ€

The emperor still doesn't want to see King Xiang? The implication of this statement is that King Xiang can enter Beijing, but the timing is not right!

Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, "Sister Xiyao, we are in great trouble, Daoist Ling Xuan is a Taoist and will not go on a killing spree, if she encounters a large number of thieves, she may not be able to protect you, I have to think of a safe way." โ€

I really want to spend half a cold night with the beautiful woman in the warm veins, but I have a heavy heart in my heart, and there is Ling Xudao who is about to cough outside the door, he reluctantly cherishes it, leaves the wooden house, and returns to the camp.

Tang Ji, Shi Feng, and Wang Lie felt that Zhu Qiming had played the disappearance a little too much, so they came to his barracks together to find out, but he only said that there was an old man visiting, and even coaxed and persuaded the three to leave.

Lying on the couch and meditating, he slept for less than two hours in a daze, got up before dawn, and rode straight to the south slope.

A few miles away from the hut, I heard the sound of hooves down the slope.

It was already dawn, and he stopped his horse and looked back, only to see countless brocade guards rushing towards this side.

There seemed to be movement on the cliff on the north side, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Feng Duo leading more than ten horsemen and horses out from behind the wall.

Such a big movement is bound to alarm the nearby patrols! Zhu Qiming looked from afar, and paradoxically, there was no trace of patrolling guards around.

He pulled out his sword, and a sword groan pierced the sky.
