The tall and majestic Fengtian Gate is the main gate of the Great Yan Imperial Capital. In the early morning of this late autumn and early winter, the huge and heavy city gate of Fengtian Gate slowly opened under the joint push of more than a dozen soldiers. The wind was already bitterly cold, and the dead leaves were falling into the city gate. Several sergeants began to sweep the road with broom buckets.

A white-bearded captain came to the city gate at this moment to organize the soldiers to set up a sentry. With the loud voice of the school captain, the pedestrians who had been waiting on both sides of the city gate began to enter and exit the Fengtian Gate in an orderly manner. The lieutenant greeted the acquaintances with a smile, and he suddenly saw a large group of carriages and horses slowly walking on the flat official road outside the city. Looking at the flag and the costume of the visitor, it turned out to be the frame of the current prince. The lieutenant hurriedly evacuated the pedestrians and cleared the road. When he had done this, he looked up and saw a tall, unusually tall steed with the color of charcoal stopped in front of him. I saw that the man on the horse, although he was not very old, was extremely handsome. The wide robe with large sleeves and the jade belt gauze crown set off the momentum of this young man extraordinary. Behind the young man was a big man wearing the six-rate school armor of the East Palace, and this big man was holding a halberd, and he was immediately behind the young man. It seems to be majestic and murderous.

The lieutenant immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The last general will meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and we will welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing." ”

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing." The surrounding soldiers and civilians all knelt and kowtowed, shouting along with the captain.

"Captain, excuse me, please get up. Below is the prince's attendant, and His Royal Highness the prince is in the car behind. It was Niu Tianci who spoke, and behind him was naturally Wang Meng.

After Niu Tianci finished speaking, he urged the horse to pass through the Fengtian Gate, and what appeared in front of him was the wide and straight Suzaku Street of Fengtian Road. Suzaku Street is paved with bluestone strips, and the width is equivalent to eight lanes in both directions. Such regulations can only be possessed by the imperial capital, and the streets are lined with pavilions and houses, and merchants and shops are lined up one after another. All show the prosperity and atmosphere of the imperial capital of Dayan.

More than ten years ago, Niu Tianci was held in Zhuo Yujiao's arms. Hiding in an ox cart from the Mukden out of the city. But today, Niu Tianci is a freshly dressed angry horse, and he walked into Fengtianmen with dignity. Fengtian was the imperial capital and the center of Dayan's power. It is not as prosperous and stable as it seems on the surface, and the hidden swords and swords here are no less than those on the battlefield. Niu Tianci didn't know what was waiting for him, but no matter how difficult the future was. Niu Tianci has to break through. for here is his house, and his father and his people. And everything he needed to fulfill his ambitions.

From this moment on, one foot of Niu Tianci has stepped on the edge of the whirlpool of power. Success or failure, life and death depend on how he responds. Niu Tianci didn't worry too much about this, because he knew that he was not fighting alone. Behind him lies a vast force that has been dormant for too long. This force is anxiously waiting for the arrival of someone who can master him, and this person is Niu Tianci.

The prince's carriage approached Niu Tianci, and Long Xingrong lifted the curtain and said to Niu Tianci, "Big brother." Okay. When you settle down, you will pick up your uncle and aunt, and the capital will be lively during the New Year. ”

"Don't worry, it's not too late to pick it up in the spring of next year."

"Hehe, big brother, little brother knows your thoughts. Big brother, don't worry, when I see my father, there will naturally be arrangements. With the ability of the eldest brother, it is very simple to fight for an official position in a year or two. ”

Niu Tianci smiled and didn't speak, and motioned to Huang Xin and Xue Ping to speed up. On the way back to Beijing. Everything is arranged by Niu Tianci. Huang Xin and Xue Ping had long been accustomed to reporting to Niu Tianci in advance, and they were also accustomed to acting in accordance with the orders issued by Niu Tianci. When these two saw Niu Tianci's signal, they didn't ask the prince. I was accustomed to doing it according to Niu Tianci's intentions.

"Haha, eldest brother, why don't you be the chief of the East Palace, and all the affairs of the East Palace will be arranged by you in the future, and I will tell my father in a while."

"Second brother, don't be like this, when you meet Your Majesty in a while, don't ask for an official for me. If you ask for it, it's counterproductive. Besides, the long history of the East Palace is the official rank of the third grade. Have you ever seen a third-grade member of my age in the court? Your Majesty will not agree, not only will he not agree, but he may also transfer me away from you, so you must not do it. ”

"Really? Will the Father do this? Big brother, you seem to know my father very well. ”

"No, it's not that I know Your Majesty. Rather, any emperor. You don't want anyone to be able to sway the heirs of the empire, you see? ”

"Huh? I seem to understand, but my father has always listened to me, right? ”

"You can't just look at the surface of things, you secretly went out of the palace this time, right? When you go back to the East Palace, you will know if the servant you are familiar with is still there. ”

Long Xingrong's face changed when he heard Niu Tianci's words. He has been with Niu Tianci for so long, and what he admires most is not that Niu Tianci is so capable of fighting, but that Niu Tianci can accurately predict the direction of development of things every time, so as to make reasonable arrangements. Then what Niu Tianci said just now is very likely to be true. The attendants who helped him out of the palace estimated that there was less luck, and Long Xingrong sat in the car in a daze.

"Second brother, cheer up. You are the heir to the empire, the only son of Your Majesty. Every word and deed, every action will touch the foundation of the country. In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you may not be punished, and others are afraid that they will lose their lives. ”

"Big brother, I see."

It's not that no one has said such things to Long Xingrong, but Long Xingrong has never taken it to heart. Today's words came out of Niu Tianci's mouth, but Long Xingrong remembered it deeply in his heart, and he completely understood the meaning.

The car drove through the Zhengyang Gate into the imperial city, and came to the front of the Taihe Palace standing majestically on the white marble steps. This is the power center of Dayan, and the Taihe Palace under the blue sky stands like a mountain in front of Niu Tianci, and the white steps need to be raised to see the top. Niu Tianci and Wang Meng followed Long Xingrong up the stairs and came to the gate of Taihe Palace.

Standing here, you can see the huge and neat Fengtian City.

Taihe Palace is so majestic that when you look at it under the steps, you feel that as long as you get to the top of the steps, you will not be far from the palace gate. But when I came to the steps, I found that it was still more than a mile away from the palace gate. From this, it can be imagined how tall the Taihe Palace is and how vast it is.

After the general in front of the palace came to meet Long Xingrong, an attendant hurriedly entered the palace to report. Long Xingrong smiled apologetically at Niu Tianci and said, "Big brother, you wait for me here first." Father will summon you in a moment, don't run around. ”

Niu Tian gave him a comforting smile, signaling that he understood, and Long Xingrong walked into Taihe Palace with confidence.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in ~~~~~~."

One after another, the reports came and went, and they continued to spread into the deep palace. Niu Tianci nodded, this is much more than the scenes he saw in those film and television dramas in his previous life, and it is much more regular. Outside the palace. Except for the sound of the wind, I can't hear a single noise. The forbidden soldiers with guns and knives stood there motionless like clay sculptures and wood carvings, as if they were not alive.

Someone was pulling the sleeve of the cow Tianci, but when Tianci looked back, it was Huang Xin.

"Cow waiter, borrow a step to speak." The two of them came to the carved fence.

"What advice does my father-in-law have?"

"Lord Waiter, do you know who His Majesty trusts the most in this court?" Huang Xin asked mysteriously.

"I don't know, please tell my father-in-law."

"Adults are new to the city, so naturally they don't know this. Now there are two people His Majesty trusts the most, one is to shoot Master Li Keli as a servant. One is Lord Qintian's supervisor. Mr. Lee is a rigorous person. Not very accessible. But Lord Sikong Fu is very talkative, and Lord Sikong Fu has a nickname called Sikong Officials' Department, do you know what this means? ”

"Could it be that Lord Sikong has the ability to influence His Majesty's selection of officials?"

"Adults are smart, that's what it looks like. My lord, you want to. It's your first time here, and it's not enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recommend you. If there is no support from the officials of the DPRK and China, it will not be good for the future of adults. Besides, if you want to be an official in the DPRK and China, how can you not collude with each other? The adult and the prince have a close relationship, which is an advantage that others do not have. If you get in touch with Lord Sikong again, the future of the adult is worry-free. ”

"I already understand what my father-in-law means. Then please ask your father-in-law to have a message with Lord Sikong first, and ask him to maneuver around in the next holy time later. After a few **** stays, I personally went to visit Lord Sikong's house. This thing has a Laogong bus to Lord Sikong. ”

Niu Tianci understands what Huang Xin means very well, and he also has some understanding of the pattern between the DPRK and China. Huang Xin's words also confirmed the accuracy of Tiger's Eye intelligence. Niu Tianci is currently new to Mukden, and it is still very necessary to scatter some smoke bombs to confuse everyone. Besides, this matter doesn't need him to take action in person, Huang Xin took the initiative to send Zhang Luo to the door, and this matter couldn't be better.

Niu Tianci handed over a small brocade box to Huang Xin, which was for Sikong Fu. Of course, Huang Xin's is indispensable. There was a silver-edged bill of exchange stuffed into Huang Xin's sleeve. Huang Xin is almost kneeling down for Niu Tianci now, if it weren't for the strict order in front of Taihe Palace, he would really want to pull Niu Tianci to tell Niu Tianci everything he knows. Inside the small brocade box was a goose egg-sized, round pearl of the night. Huang Xin's eyes were straight, this is a baby. It's worth a fortune. Huang Xin saw that this cow waiter was too unusual. He understands what you mean when you say a word, and his reaction is fast enough to be more generous. It is unreasonable for such a person not to be a big official.

"Don't be impatient, I'll go to Lord Sikong. Waiting, but in the future, Huang Xin is duty-bound. After Huang Xin finished speaking, he turned around and hurried away.

The corners of Niu Tianci's mouth swayed with laugh lines, and he secretly said that this Huang Xin could make good use of it. When Tianci turned around, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw the scene in front of him. I saw Wang Meng and the general in front of the palace staring at each other, and they were in a stalemate.

The general in front of the palace was tall and mighty, but he was a whole head short when he stood in front of Wang Meng. One of the two raised his head and opened his eyes angrily, and the other lowered his head and looked at the bronze bell. Neither of them would blink first, just staring at each other like a pair of cockfights.

After a long time, the general in front of the palace was defeated, and he kept rubbing his eyes with his hands. However, Wang Meng also made the same action, but Wang Meng's expression was very proud. The other forbidden soldiers in front of the hall looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile and endure it very hard.

"Big man, what's your name?" The general in front of the palace seems to like Wang Meng very much.

"My name is Wang Meng, and I am now the deputy lieutenant of the sixth rate of the East Palace."

Wang Meng's voice was a little loud, and the general in front of the palace put his hand to his lips and motioned for Wang Meng to be quiet.

"Well, that's good, but the most powerful thing before the crown prince drove was not the sixth rate of the East Palace, but the son of the army. Wang Meng, you can apply to be the son of the army. Once you enter the rank of at least a lieutenant, one level higher than you are now, how can you be interested? ”

"That's good, I don't know how to get into the son of the army."

"Fight, defeat a son of the army and you can become the son of the army. Defeat the rank of the son of the army and you will get his title, it's as simple as that. ”

"Okay, let's go now."

"Slow down, slow down, you haven't faced the saint yet. After you face the saint, Ben will go to the East Palace to find you. Remember that Ben's name is Gao Pijiang. ”

When Niu Tianci heard this, he secretly said in his heart, is this general in front of the palace also a child of the hereditary Lu State Duke of the Wuxun family? Niu Tianci walked over and bowed and asked, "May I ask the general, is he a descendant of Gao Guixian, the Duke of Lu Guo?" ”

"Exactly, I wonder what Mr. has to teach you?"

"It's a blessing. In the lower Jizhou cattle godsend. I heard the ancestor of the family talk about the exploits of Lu Guogong, and I admired it very much. ”

"You are Niu Tianci, the Niu Tianci who killed the barbarian rider? Sure enough, it's a teenage hero. I said God-given brother, I admire you for being able to write and martial arts, and in the future, our brothers should be close and close. However, it was really unexpected to see that you could kill a barbarian rider like this, and it would be almost the same if Wang Meng was like this. ”

"My eldest brother is very powerful, and I am not his opponent." Wang Meng said angrily.

"Really? This is really a person who can't be seen, let's compete another day? ”

"Okay." The three clapped their palms together.

"Your Majesty has a will. Xuanniu Tianci and Wang Mengjin saw ~~~~~. A chamberlain stood in front of the palace gate and said the decree loudly. (To be continued.) )
