Walk? Are you leaving? Where to go?

Zhu Youzhen also asked himself this question repeatedly in his heart. Yes, since he traveled to this time and space, although he is a prince, he is almost like a marionette, at the mercy of others from time to time, how can he ever be the master himself? He also wanted to leave, but the identity of the prince is like a mark on his body, although the world is big, where can he go?

"Why don't you speak? Are you reluctant to leave? Li Chongyao said softly in a rare gentle tone.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "It's not something I'm willing to give up. I am on the way, and where I want to go next, I naturally have to do what I am ordered. ”

"Isn't Hooray your brother?" Li Chongyao said curiously, "Is there still such a big rule between brothers?" Where you want to go, just consult with him. ”

Zhu Youzhen was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that the brothers of the royal family are not like ordinary people's families, where they can talk about everything. Yes, in terms of blood, Zhu Youxiao and himself are brothers. But in terms of identity, there is a distinction between monarchs and ministers, which is a world of difference!

And if it's better just the apocalypse, the key is that there is a Wei Zhongxian in front of him! This expedition on behalf of the Son of Heaven was made by this old boy again, and he wanted to use the hands of the Mongols and Jurchens to send himself away. Fortunately, he was blessed with a great life, and Ning Yuan was lucky enough to hold on, so that Wei Zhongxian's wishful thinking fell through again. But who knows if he will give up, and what other insidious tricks are behind it?

But Zhu Youzhen couldn't tell Li Chongyao these words in detail, so he could only sigh deeply.

"Humph! I knew that you had long wanted to go back to your palace in Beijing, and you didn't want to stay here for one more day! Go away, no one will snub you! Li Chongyao suddenly stomped his foot, pulled out his foot and left.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Miss, I didn't mean that!" ”

"So what do you mean? Let me go! Li Chongyao shook off Zhu Youzhen's hand fiercely, but couldn't help crying in a low voice.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to put his arm around her shoulders and just said, "Miss..."

Li Chongyao suddenly fell into his arms and whimpered: "I'm not a big lady anymore, can you call me Chongyao?" ”

"Chongyao, I..." Zhu Youzhen's breathing suddenly became short, and in the face of the beauty's embrace, his little brother began to move again.

"The Li family has dispersed!" Li Chongyao didn't realize it, and sobbed in a low voice, "Since the death of my uncle, Ning Yuan fought in the first battle, more than a thousand Li family disciples died in battle, and the rest were also incorporated into the official army, leaving me alone!" ”

Zhu Youzhen heard her say, but it was not good to take the opportunity to commit a black hand, so he had to comfort Wen Yan: "You can also join the official army." Just like your sister Meifeng, isn't it good? ”

"I don't want to be restrained like that! I'd rather be an ordinary peasant girl, living a simple life of a man farming and a woman weaving. How nice it would be to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and no worries or strife! ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongyao's beautiful eyes showed a look of longing.

"Actually, I want to..."Zhu Youzhen made Li Chongyao fascinated, and couldn't help hugging her tighter.

"Really?" Li Chongyao asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true! Who doesn't want that! Zhu Youzhen was determined.

"Why don't you be the prince anymore, I won't be the eldest lady of the Li family anymore, let's run away together!" Li Chongyao suddenly looked at Zhu Youzhen eagerly, "Escape to a place where no one can find us!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Chongyao, I'm afraid there is no place like that in the world!" And none of us can just leave, because there are always people we care about! What will they do if we are gone? ”

Li Chongyao was stunned, crying bitterly "wow", and hugged Zhu Youzhen tightly, almost strangling him out of breath.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "Chongyao, be quiet!" Let others see it, and think what I have done to you! ”

Li Chongyao gradually stopped his grief and sobbed: "You're right! I heard Sister Meifeng say that you already have a princess, she is very beautiful, and she saved your life, you shouldn't abandon her! I also have my mission, whether the Li family can be ZTE or not, the responsibility is all on me! So none of us can escape, this is probably what my uncle often said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves! ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but stroke Li Chongyao's hair, but he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, lord!" Li Chongyao suddenly broke free from his arms and changed his cold face, "It's late at night, let's go back to the room early to rest." With that, he walked away without looking back.

Zhu You looked at her distant back and sighed deeply helplessly.

Early the next morning, the holy decree from Jingshi was indeed delivered by Pegasus. But the content of this holy decree surprised Zhu Youzhen!

Ning Yuan's great victory, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is naturally Longyan Dayue. But this first effort to break the enemy was recorded on Wei Zhongxian's head, and he was rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver and 10 royal horses!

As for those nonsense such as "factory ministers are planning in the middle, good at promoting good generals, and exhausted their efforts to make them haggard", Zhu Youzhen didn't want to listen to them anymore. He could figure it out with his toes, this must be another holy decree for Wei Zhongxian to do for the Apocalypse.

The second merit was recorded as a prisoner of the army Tai Jian Ning, rewarded 50,000 taels of silver, and gave Shang Fang a sword. This guy is hiding in Jizhou, he hasn't even been on the front line, and he doesn't know which army he is in. Wei Zhongxian's cheekiness is too thick, he can really make it out!

Then there are the eunuch ministers in the court, up to the cabinet ministers, such as the university scholars Wei Guangwei and Gu Bingqian, and down to the seven-rank officials to give Ruan Dacheng in the matter, in short, as long as it is a eunuch, cats and dogs have merit and rewards.

After that, it was the superintendent Sun Chengzong. Because of the meritorious service of the superintendent, he was crowned as the Taishi, rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and continued to supervise Liaodong.

If it is said that the official position of Taishi is listed as the third duke, although there is no real power, at least it is still a very high honor; Then rewarding one silver and one white tael is purely insulting! You must know that those eunuch members who can't beat the eight poles will have the least reward of a thousand taels!

Behind is Yuan Chonghuan. Because he directly commanded the battle of Ningyuan, he was promoted from Ningqian Road to the governor of Liaodong, rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and continued to guard Ningyuan.

After that, the generals of the army, such as Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and others, all added officials and knights, and the rewards were also quite rich.

Xie En's order has been completed, and everyone is unhappy for Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan. Especially Man Gui, he scolded even more: "What kind of thing is Guan Ning, he doesn't even dare to show his face, why should he take so much credit for him!" Lord Governor, Lord Governor, the emperor is unfair, and I am uneasy to take these rewards, and I have dedicated them to the two adults! ”

Sun Chengzong hurriedly sank his face and said: "Man Gui, don't talk nonsense!" Do you still dare to resist the decree? ”

Man Gui was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "Actually, Lord Inspector and His Majesty don't care about rewards at all, as long as the imperial court supports the Guanning defense line, it is enough." Long live let the Governor sit in Shanhaiguan and guard Ningyuan below, this is the best reward. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled on the surface, but he was also extremely dissatisfied in his heart. secretly thought that the apocalypse was so mediocre, and the border defense was a major matter, and it was still entrusted to Wei Zhongxian and others. I'm afraid that my future life will be even more difficult.

Zhu Youzhen has a different mind. He listened to the decree from beginning to end with his ears open, and when he saw that everyone had made arrangements, he never mentioned what to do with him, and he couldn't help but be worried.

Until the next day, another decree came. This time, the holy decree was dedicated to Zhu Youzhen, and it was more like a bolt from the blue to him: "Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, went out on my behalf and made great contributions. He was immediately named the king of Qin and ate the third prince Lu. Since the time of receiving the decree, first to Mongolia Khalkha, Horqin Zhubu to pass, and then from outside the customs to Datong, rushed to Xi'an Mansion to the domain, Qin this! ”

Until he received the holy decree, Zhu Youzhen's head was still buzzing, and he couldn't say a word.

Yuan Chonghuan was also surprised and said: "According to the ancestral system, the emperor's sons were established as princes at the age of ten, and became vassals at the age of twenty. His Highness is only fifteen years old this year, how can he become a vassal so early? Besides, there is already a King of Qin in Xi'an, why did he make His Royal Highness the King of Qin? ”

Sun Chengzong sighed and stopped talking. In fact, although he is in Liaodong, he is not like Yuan Chonghuan, who only knows how to fight, and he is still clear about the movements of the DPRK and China.

It turned out that a major event happened in the court these days, Zhu Yiluo, the king of Qin who was in Xi'an, went to the court and asked to abolish the original son and eldest son Zhu Cunshu, and set up the second son Zhu Cunji as the son.

Originally, this was purely a family matter of the royal family, but Tianqi only cared about carpenter's work, and he didn't even bother to ask what the relationship between King Qin and himself was, and all of them were pushed to Wei Zhongxian to deal with.

Wei Zhongxian was worried about Zhu Youzhen. This time, he pushed Zhu Youzhen to the front line, and wanted to get rid of him by the hands of foreign tribes. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen actually achieved a great victory in Ningyuan, and his reputation in the government and the opposition increased sharply. If you want to rectify it in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

It just so happened that at this time, the king of Qin asked for the re-establishment of the prince. Wei Zhongxian's think tanks were like treasures, and they used the topic to play, and they all went up to impeach Zhu Yiluo, saying that abolishing the long and standing young is the way to take trouble since ancient times, and the King of Qin's move is a big rebellion and must be severely punished.

Of course, these pieces were transferred to Wei Zhongxian. With a stroke of his pen, Wei Zhongxian actually took away Zhu Yiluo's position as the king of Qin, and placed Zhu Youzhen there!

This hand is so vicious! First of all, in this way, Zhu Youzhen became an ordinary vassal king, far away from the Jingshi, and could no longer pose a threat to Wei Zhongxian.

Secondly, because of the civil uprisings in Shaanxi in recent years, Xi'an has begun to be threatened. In case the thieves capture Xi'an, Zhu Youzhen will naturally finish the game, and this is still a plan to kill people with a knife.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian also carefully arranged a "death route" for Zhu Youzhen, who could not return from the original route, but had to cross the border from the Mongolian tribe.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a long time holding the holy decree, and finally couldn't help but burst into foul language in public: "Wei Zhongxian, I will give you uncle!" ”
