Zheng Fan sat in the tub, his arms resting on the edge, squinting, enjoying the moment.

People who are used to bathing, if they don't soak for a while, they will feel that something is missing in life.

It's just that it's really difficult to find such conditions and opportunities when you're out of the road.

Siniang walked in and helped Zheng Fan wipe his back.

"The Lord's recent state seems to be a little different."

"Hmm."

Zheng Fan nodded, he didn't specifically say that he felt that he was closer to the advancement, because he still didn't know when he could, plus the demon king around him brought a lot of them to Beijing this time, so there was no need for them to be nervous and mobilized now.

It's never too late to tell them when you're really advanced.

"Is the next rest for the Lord?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said; "Let's go out and take a walk, stay here today, the announcement and the eunuch have already arrived during the day, and they should be entering Beijing tomorrow."

Now staying is the Dongshan camp outside the capital.

It can only be said that the prince is the prince after all, and the row is indeed bigger than his one marquis, and the marquis of Zheng also brought a group of flying fish suit guards plus a team of 800 horsemen.

And the king of Jingnan raised 10,000 iron cavalry of the Jingnan army.

But, in fact, it is clear that he is more timid and afraid of death, and it is easier to die;

Here, whether there are some other Taoisms, Zheng Fan is still unclear.

Since ancient times, when the vassal kings entered Beijing, unless they were coming to rebel, they were as low-key as they were, and they wanted to bury their brains in their crotches;

However, there is no precedent for such a situation of the emperor and the two vassal kings of Dayan.

As princes, they don't seem to be sensitive to this kind of taboo thing;

As an emperor, he is even more tolerant to the two vassal kings.

Back then, Qianguo's stabbing face was detained to death by Han Xianggong on trumped-up charges, and the reason why he used trumped-up was also because the stabbing face himself had no charges that could actually be caught;

The court asked him to enter Beijing, and he entered, one master and one servant;

As for the family, they stayed in Shangjing early.

And Yan Guo is the opposite here,

In fact, there are really too many crimes and evidence, but the real evidence is in front, and no one dares to make a fuss about it.

He Zhao Jiulang didn't dare to learn the old things of Qianguo and Han Xianggong.

After all, everyone knows that he is loyal to the country and it is impossible to rebel;

But these two princes have the ability to oppose and may oppose, who dares to provoke?

Under Siniang's service, Zheng Fan was wiped dry, changed into a new set of clothes, and walked out of the military tent.

In the military tent next door,

Ah Ming is playing chess with Sun Ying.

Sun Ying and Ah Ming had a lot of fun, because Sun Ying had a hobby, that is, wine.

As the eldest son of Mrs. Sun, although Mrs. Sun was ashamed that he was busy with government affairs before and failed to discipline this eldest son well, he has not really had any hard life since he remembered Sun Ying.

Situ Lei said to Sun Youdao, he can be described as a "brother", the son of the Sun family, and when he entered the palace wine cellar of Dacheng Kingdom, it was really like following up his own wine cellar.

In addition, sometimes as a courtier, you have to show some weakness and greed, so that the superior has a chance to meet your needs, and don't always be so humble.

Therefore, this difficult task, for a long time, actually fell on Sun Ying's head.

Ah Ming used to be very lonely because some of his hobbies were inevitably a little high.

The Lord doesn't drink, and the other demon kings don't drink either, and Liang Cheng can accompany him to have a glass of blood when he is fine.

Now, he is with Sun Ying, sharing the wine he has with him and tasting it together, he will not be reluctant, the wine, the person who will taste it, is its true value.

Seeing Zheng Fan walk out,

Sun Ying pushed the wheelchair out of the tent first, and Ah Ming yawned.

One is a younger brother who has just entered the door, and the other is an old fritter who has been in the entrepreneurial period, and the degree of hospitality is naturally different.

"What do you have to say?" Sun Ying asked.

"It's okay, just let's go." Zheng Fan said.

forthwith

Zheng Fan looked at Sun Ying and said, "Let's go for a walk together." ”

"Okay, Master Hou."

Sun Ying began to push the wheels with her hands, while Ah Ming stood up and pushed the wheelchair forward.

"How this is made, how is this made."

Sun Ying was a little flattered, he knew the status of these people who were called "sir" in the Hou Mansion.

Ah Ming smiled indifferently,

"You're not so polite."

On that day, Sun Ying accompanied the Lord to speak, and when she spoke, she drank herbal tea;

After speaking, the Lord asked Siniang to add hot water;

The meaning is that this Sun Ying has some ability and can use it.

At night,

Zheng Fan walked in front, and Ah Ming pushed Sun Ying's wheelchair to follow.

"Yanjing City, have you been here before?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Back to the words of the Hou Ye, never. However, Ying remembered that when the first emperor of Chengguo was still there, he said when he was playing chess with his father, and he said that the Great Yan Kingdom in the west would soon become what it is now in the land of Sanjin. ”

"When did you say that?"

"It's been almost ten years."

"Oh."

At that time, Emperor Yan had already succeeded to the throne.

At that time, there were many gates in Dayan, in the west, mainly in the north of the Hou Mansion, and in other places, each gate valve almost monopolized half of the population and land of other counties except Tiancheng County.

The Tian family, because Tian Wujing controlled the Jingnan Army, there was already a tendency to hold bull's ears among the gate valves.

Situ Lei, who has experienced the weakening of the imperial power and the division of the three families, naturally thinks that the Yan Kingdom will follow in the same footsteps.

"But my father didn't think so."

"Oh, what did the old lady say?"

"My father said that when the first emperor of Dayan was vying for the throne, he certainly advocated Xuanmen, asked for medicine, repaired the back garden, and indulged in pleasure;

But there is one thing that is particularly noticeable.

Emperor Dayan had many heirs, but there was only one prince, and later, this prince entered the East Palace, and his position was not stable;

Since ancient times

The father and son of the Heavenly Family, especially between the Emperor and the East Palace, must inevitably compete with each other, but only in the Yan Kingdom, there is no sign of this.

An emperor,

No matter how stupid, no matter how incompetent, then indulge in enjoyment,

To be able to arrange a successor so decisively and resolutely is already quite impressive.

Throughout the ages, how many emperors of Shengming did not arrange the affairs of their heirs in their later years, and finally caused chaos. ”

"Huh."

Zheng Fan smiled.

He knew these things, and Xiao Liuzi had also told him.

When the first emperor of Yan State seized the throne that year, he was once driven out of Yanjing and was chased and killed.

afterward

The first emperor relied on the help of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei to return to Yanjing and take the throne.

But Emperor Yan's position has always been very stable.

On the one hand, he grew up almost with Li Liangting, on the other hand, it was not enough to marry the daughter of the Tian family, and when he was the prince, he married the daughter of the Min family as a side concubine.

Later, he was canonized as the crown prince.

What is this East Palace configuration lineup?

To put it mildly, if the current crown prince, that is, the second prince, has this lineup, I am afraid he will wake up laughing in his dreams.

The prince of a country already occupies the position of the prince, and the country is in hand;

In the west, he is friendly with the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and he is in-law with the Tian family, a big family of gate valves, and he is also an in-law with a chaebol giant like the Min family;

In addition, the prince of Yan has always had a tradition of raising the forbidden army, and the second prince has also raised the forbidden army before.

So

At that time, Emperor Yan, there was a forbidden army in Beijing, and there was a strong reinforcement in Zhenbei Houfu outside, and the relationship with the gate lord family was very good, and the subordinate officials of the East Palace, such as Zhao Jiulang and others, also held important positions in the court early, and the princelings were all over the government and the opposition.

It is no exaggeration to say that

Emperor Yan, who was still the crown prince at the time, only needed to gently hook his fingers to have a risk-free "Xuanwu Gate";

The first emperor can only be the emperor and go to live for the rest of his life.

Sun Ying continued: "At that time, my father also said that the king asked for immortals, but in fact, he was not really dedicated to the Tao, seeking the Tao, and seeking immortality.

Immortality, not to continue to ask, tirelessly, to hear that the Tao can die at night;

It's because this dragon chair, this location, is so charming that I want to sit on it for a long time.

So

In historical records, all emperors who pursued immortality were extremely selfish and valued power and status more.

can be biased,

The Emperor of Yan was not, not to mention the wanton decentralization of power in the East Palace, and he had no intention of suppressing it, nor did he promote any other prince as a check and balance.

Over here

Something is wrong. ”

When Sun Ying said this, she stopped, and said with emotion: "Ying has always admired her father's gaze. ”

In fact, as Sun Youdao said at the beginning, there is indeed a problem, and after Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne, he first spent more than ten years consolidating and developing his own power, and then secretly prepared;

In fact, this time is longer, because this preparation has already been made when he is still a prince and a prince.

Next

It is the door valve valve, which expands externally;

Even if Dayan's national fortunes really collapse and the most extreme second dies, Ji Runhao is destined to be crowned with the honorific title of eloquence in the history books.

And Sun Youdao can indeed afford the four words of the country's warrior.

It's a pity,

When Dacheng was attached to the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Yan issued several decrees hoping that he would join Yanjing to serve, but Sun Youdao refused on the grounds that he was already old.

"But, Your Majesty, now, old." Zheng Fan said.

Sun Ying, it's no longer surprising;

All the way to here with the team,

These days,

What touched Sun Ying the most was the kind of ...... in the Hou Mansion How to put it, an extremely liberal political atmosphere.

At the beginning, Sun Ying thought it was the people below, such as those gentlemen, who wanted to influence Hou Ye;

As a result, Sun Ying slowly discovered that this Hou Ye is the real divergence point of this "freedom".

Sun Ying was even confused for a while,

confused that he was in order to restore the country, in order to rebel,

was tinkering around there, almost killing the Sun family,

What's this?

I knew that I had come to this Hou Ye early, wasn't it essentially the same?

"Sun Ying."

"The subordinates are here."

"I think you're a talented man."

"Thank you Lord Hou for your compliment, ...... Ying"

"But ......"

Sun Ying immediately stopped being humble and obedient.

"However, some things will be completely different from what you imagined, Dayan's current court, today's military and political situation, is not any situation that has been seen in the history books."

"Ying understands, Ying will look good tomorrow and watch it carefully."

"Good."

Zheng Fan nodded,

forthwith

looked at Ah Ming, who was helping to push the wheelchair,

Asked;

"San'er, I don't seem to see him today."

"Ali seems to have eaten a bad stomach."

"Jumped?"

"No, it's constipation."

"Huh?"

Ah Ming explained: "Ali's body is relatively resistant to drugs, and ordinary laxatives have no effect, and San'er is giving him a strong one." ”

"Don't put your body to the test."

In the past, Xue San tried a medicinal bath for himself, and the medicinal properties tortured him in an instant.

"Rest assured, the third son knows what he knows."

Ah Ming didn't tell the lord that San'er was going to experiment with Pixiu, and then give it to Ah Li to eat.

"Where's your one?" Zheng Fan asked again.

"It's in a cage." Ah Ming replied.

The old vampire named Cahill;

In this matter, there is no need for Zheng Fan's orders, Ah Ming regards his "blood bag" as a treasure, and he is also offering all kinds of delicious food and drink for a while, and even did not hesitate to mobilize Zheng Fan's personal guards and the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Army to go all the way to strangle the thieves in Jindi.

Pity those thieves who just occupy a hill, wave the flag a few times, and plan to bargain with the county officials to recruit peace, before the Juyi Hall has been built, and before the chairs can be lined up, they see the most elite iron horsemen of Dayan rushing towards them.

Before they died, they themselves thought, is this too much?

"Master Hou is worried about what will happen after entering Beijing?"

Sun Ying asked.

Zheng Fan nodded.

"Where did the two kings come together?"

"So, Sun Ying."

"The subordinates are here."

"Look more, watch carefully."

"The subordinates know that they are wrong, and the subordinates ...... I see. ”

"I'm back, I'm back, I'm sleeping, and I'll go to Beijing tomorrow."

Marquis Zheng waved his hand, turned around and went directly back to his military tent.

Over there

Siniang had already made the bed, and she had already laid down in it, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and was knitting clothes.

It is the clothes worn by the children, woven for the day.

Marquis Zheng took off his shoes and clothes,

Lay down under the covers.

Face up,

Keep your eyes open.

Siniang put down her needlework, turned sideways, stretched out her hand, and patted gently on Zheng Fan's chest:

"Master Hou, are you still uneasy?"

Zheng Fan nodded and sighed.

"What should come, will come eventually."

"I know, I know." Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and hugged Siniang's waist, "When it comes to tomorrow, when the matter comes, I can feel at ease." ”

……

The next morning,

Several groups of eunuchs and people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War rushed back and forth to prepare for welcoming King Jingnan and Pingxi Marquis into Beijing.

It has been more than four years since King Jingnan last entered Beijing.

When the royal flag of King Jingnan appeared in the land of Gyeonggi again, many people subconsciously recalled that bloody night on the outskirts of Beijing in their minds.

fortunately

Busy and busy, it is the people in the capital who are so nervous, and the team entering Beijing is in an orderly manner.

The king of Jingnan rode Pixiu in front,

Zheng Fan rode his Pixiu half a position behind,

On both sides, as well as in front and back, are Zheng Fan's flying fish suit guards.

On the periphery, there are the black-armored escort cavalry.

"Lord Wang, this dress is good, isn't it?" Zheng Fan showed off his personal guard's attire to Lao Tian.

Pixiu under the crotch snorted,

Rolled his eyes,

And said that I,

Aren't you showing off your new skin?

"Well, that's good."

"Don't worry, when I get back, I'll send you a set for your personal guard."

"Okay."

Zheng Fan smiled and continued to follow.

The message from the front was that his side came earlier than the king of Zhenbei, but the king of Zhenbei estimated that he would be there in the next two days.

So

All the pomp and circumstance today are to welcome the King of Jingnan into the city.

Then

A big tent appeared ahead,

Tianzi Luan also came out.

It's just that

The Son of Heaven Luan is driving, and there is no Son of Heaven.

Luan's greeting is a courtesy, representing the respect of the royal family and the imperial court for the king of Jingnan.

And before Luan drove,

The prince was dressed in a red gold-inlaid python robe and rode his horse forward;

thenceforth

They are the sixth prince Ji Chengjue, the fourth prince Ji Chengfeng and the little seventh prince.

Boss, he hasn't come back yet.

The four princes were ranked behind the six princes, and the eldest and youngest disobeyed, but no one bothered to put their beaks, and even the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not see it;

In terms of seniority, in the face of absolute ability, it is worthless.

Luan stopped,

Forbidden army arrangement,

One by one, the ceremonial gold cover is along the downward edge,

Hundreds of officials are lined up in the back, in an orderly manner.

When King Jingnan returned to Beijing, the entire imperial court, no, to be exact, the civil and military nobles of the entire Yanjing, were almost hollowed out.

I think back then, even when the Marquis of Zhenbei entered Beijing, there was no such big pomp.

allow

It is because the reputation of King Jingnan among the people is not good, the worse it is, the more it must be treated seriously and thoughtfully, and the more he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Yes or yes,

In terms of the military exploits, prestige, and meritorious deeds in the past few years, the king of Dayan Nan has long overshadowed the former Zhenbei Marquis, the undisputed first military god of Dayan, and the pillar of the country.

The prince rode his horse and stepped forward slowly;

Ji Chengjue, Ji Chengfeng and Xiao Qi all dismounted and followed.

On the other side,

The king and the marquis riding Pixiu also slowly stepped forward, and Pixiu's hooves stepped on the solemn and noble yellow cloth.

but

King Jingnan and Pingxi Hou did not get off their mounts.

Marquis Zheng has already entered the mode of following the same trend, too lazy to think about anything else, if Lao Tian in front of him doesn't come down, he won't come down.

The distance between the prince of the prison country here and there is getting closer and closer.

Someone has to get off the horse first, someone has to greet first;

It stands to reason that

At present, one person is below and above ten thousand, except for the one on the dragon chair, he is a well-deserved second honor.

But......

Perhaps the prince also fantasized in his heart;

At least

Ji Chengjue looked at King Nan and Zheng Fan behind him, who still didn't have the slightest intention of Pixiu, and thought like this in his heart.

If this is the case,

King Jingnan took the initiative to come down first, not to say a salute, but to simply greet, even if it was as an uncle, which was the greatest benefit and recognition for the prince.

It's a pity, it's a pity,

King Jingnan,

In the end, it is the king of Jingnan;

He Tian Wujing, after all, Tian Wujing.

The prince dismounted,

The three princes behind him all stopped.

The crown prince folded his hands in front of him and saluted King Jingnan, who was still sitting on Pixiu:

"Uncle has been fighting for the country for several years, expanding the territory, and making immortal achievements, and my nephew is here to welcome my uncle!"

Ji Chengjue and other princes also saluted together:

"I've seen my uncle, my uncle is blessed."

Tian Wujing's sister is the queen and the mother-in-law of all the princes, and he is the uncle of all the princes.

Tian Wujing's gaze,

Falling to the empty Luan driving behind him,

Asked;

"What about Your Majesty?"

The prince replied:

"My father is recuperating in the back garden, I went to invite my father in advance, and my father occasionally felt cold, so he couldn't come out to greet his uncle for the time being, and asked me to drive out to meet him on his behalf.

I also asked my uncle to go back to Beijing to rest first, everything has been arranged. ”

Tian Wujing stretched out his hand,

patted Pixiu's head under his crotch,

Pixiu opens his mouth,

The calfium flew out and landed in the palm of his hand.

The next moment,

All the knights of the Jingnan Army behind him drew their swords, and a murderous aura came to their faces!

The prince opened his mouth slightly,

is the sixth child in the back, and his eyes also showed a look of shock;

The ministers and nobles in the rear were in an uproar,

This, this, this is to rebel, can it be so direct!

Tian Wujing lowered his head,

Looking at the prince standing in front of him,

Said slowly:

"This dragon chair, in this king's life, only recognizes one person who is worthy of sitting on it."

Saying,

The majestic gaze swept over the other three princes behind the crown prince,

Shen Dao:

"Your Majesty hasn't died in a day, you rabbit cubs are not qualified to use that 'Ru I come in person'!

An hour,

And this king will give you an hour,

In an hour,

This king can't see His Majesty's dragon face,

It is regarded as a crime committed by the lower than you, imprisoning the king, and plotting against you.

Ben Wang,

and the tens of thousands of iron horsemen brought by this king,

Immediately enter the capital,

Stepping on the demonic atmosphere,

One clear gentleman side! ”
