At the moment of life and death, the five princes are determined to fight to the death.

The five princes immediately led troops to guard the city gate with heavy troops, and a large number of Beidi barbarians began to be unable to resist the endless stream of soldiers and began to lose their momentum.

With the high morale of our army, the barbarians were finally eliminated little by little, and soon, the barbarians who were supporting the death on the battlefield finally fell.

The five princes immediately raised their flags and shouted, "Our army has successfully defeated the tiger and wolf gangsters, as long as we are brave and loyal and defend our family and country, we will definitely be able to protect the safety of one party!" ”

All the soldiers also shouted in unison, "Be brave and loyal, protect the family and defend the country!" ”

The news soon spread all over the border city, the people of the border pass warmly welcomed the return of the army of the five princes on both sides of the road, the voice of the five princes in the border pass was extremely high, and the people said that they asked for their lives for the people, sacrificed their lives to protect the country, and they were really the masters of the world in their hearts.

The fighting outside the border has subsided, and the next few days are to pack up the army and prepare for the triumph.

On the day of parting, the five princes looked at the city gate, and their hearts swelled with scenes of war and the people of the border passes.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the words of Xiao You, the prince of the world, who definitely assisted him in fighting for the throne and asking for the people's life, Li Yuan must not be handed over to non-human hands in this world, otherwise, the devastated scene on the frontier will definitely reappear, thinking of this, the five princes secretly made up their minds again.

Embarked on the road back to Beijing, bumpy along the way, the five princes often pondered, the life of the pass over there, often desolate, and the royal nobles and arrogant and lascivious life, but the city over there also guarded the Central Plains, guarding the capital, the son of heaven, the royal family enjoyed the glory that ordinary people did not have, that should also be for the well-being of the world, and the seven princes and the four princes fought openly and secretly, abandoning the people of the world to disregard.

The trip is coming to an end, and it is already a few miles away from the capital.

There was a noise of gongs and drums in my ears, and I don't know which nobleman was doing a happy event, and the battle was so big.

Seeing the city gate, the five princes rode horses and led the army and successfully returned.

The people who came to greet them consciously stood on both sides of the road, cheering at the returning military advisors, and for a while, the voice of the five princes was extremely high.

"These five princes, forgetting their lives and forgetting death outside the border pass, went into battle to kill the enemy, and have long put life and death aside, and now they have returned triumphantly, but it is the destiny of heaven!" A roadside man said.

"Yes, these five princes are worried about the world!" Many should be along.

Further on, it was the emperor who brought a cadre of ministers and princes to the city gate to greet the five princes.

"All the soldiers bravely killed the enemy at the border pass, and finally returned from a great victory, I will definitely reward the meritorious deeds, and the five princes will lead the team to the expedition, and the merit is great, and after the wind and dust are washed, I will be rewarded!"

"Father, it is the responsibility of the sons and daughters to go into battle to kill the enemy and share the worries of the father, and the sons are willing to defend the country on the battlefield!"

"These five princes have the world in their hearts, and if they are cultivated in the future, they will definitely be a generation of iron cavalry generals!" A number of ministers agreed.

After returning to the city, after a short rest, the five princes led the left and right lieutenants who went out of the customs to the reception dinner in the palace.

Without the wind and dust, the five princes have returned to the appearance of being as gentle as jade and kind-hearted.

At the banquet, the five princes got many rare treasures, and even were given the title of "Victorious Little General", which is now very popular in the court.

The Seven Princes and the Five Princes on the side did not feel good in their hearts, thinking that the Five Princes, who had never fought for power and profit in the past, also began to fight with the two, and this great victory in the war improved the status of the Five Princes in the emperor and inside and outside the court.

It was late at night, and in the song and swallow dance of the warbler, the banquet slowly ended, and everyone dispersed.

In the Shizi Mansion, Xiao Jue and his wife also drank some wine and chatted under the moon.

"Madam, this previous prince directly showed his support for the five princes to compete for the throne, and now the five princes have returned with a big victory and have become the hottest figures, why don't we add fuel to the fire and help the five princes win some rights?"

"What did you think of?"

"We can take advantage of the current situation to snatch back the rights of the armory from the four princes and hand them over to the five princes!"

"Husband, this will cause the four princes to be extremely hostile to the prince's mansion!"

"Since this prince made a stand in front of everyone, he will definitely offend different parties, these five princes have the spirit of a wise monarch, and what this prince does is also worth it!"

The next day, the prince Xiao Jue went to the palace alone, and took a secret dossier, ready to push the five princes.

After waiting outside the emperor's palace for a short time, he was summoned.

"The minister has a major event to start the emperor, and the minister recently handled official business in the ordnance station, and accidentally learned that the four princes formed a party in it after taking charge of the ordnance station, and traded power for money."

"Not long ago, Lord Zhang bribed the four princes with five hundred taels of silver, and asked for the official position of deacon of the ordnance office, and the four princes even asked Lord Zhang to marry his daughter to him as a concubine."

"In addition, the four princes stole money and cut corners on the iron tools used to make weapons, which led to chaos within the armory......"

"My bastard son! I will definitely send the military squire to investigate, and if what you say is true, I will definitely give an explanation to the Ordnance Institute! ”

"I hope the emperor will check clearly!" Xiao Jue lowered his head and smiled proudly.

Soon, the emperor successively summoned the military department and the four princes, and handed over the file submitted by Xiao Jue to Dali Temple, the matter is under urgent investigation, during the period, the position of the head of the four princes' ordnance was suspended, and after Xiao Jue's recommendation, the emperor appointed and dismissed the five princes who returned triumphantly to temporarily act as agents.

When the five princes were appointed and dismissed, they had doubts in their hearts. Listening to the eunuch in front of the emperor, Xiao Jue had been here, and when he saw the emperor's angry face, he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to wait for the emperor to speak.

Hearing the position of the temporary fourth prince, the fifth prince had a shadow of depression in his mind, and that must be his doing.

The five princes did not dare to refute the emperor's words, so they had to accept it.

The four princes returned to the palace and were ordered by the emperor to be placed under house arrest to be investigated by Dali Temple.

The fourth prince remembered that when he left the palace, the emperor temporarily handed over the ordnance station to the fifth prince, and he was angry in his heart. Thinking of the hypocritical appearance of the five princes who had no quarrel with the world and harmless to humans and animals, I felt even more disgusted, and I couldn't wait to keep him at the bottom of my feet.

"Lord Wang, isn't there someone helping the five princes? With how could he be distracted and unskilled just after he came back from the battlefield, and get the armory right away?"

"Could it be that Xiao Jue is doing something in secret? This king didn't offend him! ”

"If it is really a reluctant act, this king will definitely want him to return the amount!"

"Lord Wang, this Xiao Jue is the person of the Five Princes, once he participates in the partisan dispute, he will make enemies everywhere, and when the time comes, there will be more opportunities to remove him!"

The four princes looked at the bonsai outside the window, and secretly became distracted, and the figures of the seven princes, Xiao Jue, Qi Xuan and many ministers kept emerging in their minds.

The fourth prince came back to his senses after a while, and ordered his personal guards to secretly investigate who leaked the news, and ordered him to destroy other things as well.

When night fell, the capital fell into darkness, and the lights of these thousands of homes continued to break the darkness......

Dali Siqing investigated overnight, a few days of busy, several visits, confirmed the sins of the four princes, in front of the emperor truthfully reported, the emperor ordered the direct dismissal of the four princes of the ordnance office, these four princes, but really lost the official of the ordnance office, had to repent in the house temporarily.

In the capital, however, this matter has been spread all over the place, saying that the four princes are morally deficient and immoral, and they are really overwhelmed, and all the major sects are watching the jokes of the four princes.

When he heard that Xiao Si in the mansion was secretly discussing this matter, the four princes were so angry that their teeth itched.

Never! This prince will definitely look good when he goes out!

A mere prince dares to ride on the head of this prince!

That Xiao Si noticed the figure of the five princes, so he wanted to sneak away, but he had no choice but to break into the gun, and was punished by the five princes to clean the thatched toilet, but the thatched pit was smelly and dirty, and Xiao Si didn't dare to mess with the master anymore, so he had to sweep the thatched house in a muffled voice.

The Seven Princes heard the news of the Four Princes, but they were very happy, and even the Seven Imperial Princesses followed the Seven Princes to see the excitement over there.

The Seventh Prince suddenly woke up, remembering that Xiao Jue helped the Five Princes, isn't it the Fifth Prince, who is chic and free on weekdays, and also began to have the idea of fighting for power and profit? Could it be that the five princes who don't ask about current affairs on weekdays will also participate in this battle for the throne?

The Seven Princes carefully sorted out their thoughts and found that the Five Princes did have the idea of competing for the throne, otherwise why did he let him occupy the position of the armory? Thinking of this, the Seven Princes pulled the Five Princes into their opposites, and since ancient times, in the battle for the throne, family affection is a retreat.

In the battle for the emperor, there will always be someone who will lose, and there will always be someone who will turn against him, since the five princes are also involved, according to the current situation, the four princes have temporarily lost the favor of the emperor, and the five princes have been favored, so the five princes are their biggest enemies in a short period of time, and when the four princes lift the ban, it is the game of the three princes. The Seventh Prince analyzed in his heart.

Now the five princes are in control of the ordnance station, and they can control a lot of resources in the army, and the benefits are innumerable, so it is extremely unfavorable to themselves, in this case, they can only think in the long run.

The fifth prince had just taken over the Ordnance Institute, and although he was inexperienced, he had experienced the life of the border pass and had dealt with many Predators, so he quickly became familiar with an institution with an army establishment like the Ordnance Institute.

He investigated the problems during the management of the four princes, removed some corrupt officials, and innovated many management systems.
