Shen Wenjiang expected it to be good.

In the post house, after some staggering with those envoys, the prince was really moved and promised to return to Beijing with them.

The envoys were overjoyed, and early in the morning they were packing up and preparing to go on their way.

When Ji Nancheng arrived, the crown prince had just gotten up, and the four princes were still asleep.

Because of the fact that the four princes of Tongfu Inn blocked the knife for him, the prince's attitude towards the four princes was much closer, and he praised him greatly at the banquet last night.

The envoys were all human spirits, so they changed their ways to toast the four princes.

The four princes drank a little too much, made a fuss for most of the night, and fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

The prince was also sleeping soundly, but he was woken up by Lord Yang's repeated disturbances.

"Your Highness, the minister didn't mean to bother you, but the minister really thinks it's inappropriate." Lord Yang smiled shyly, and then handed over a letter that was about to be sent to the capital quickly, "Your Highness, this is what the minister just wrote, you can take a look." ”

The prince yawned, frowned, took it impatiently, and looked at it hastily, "Lord Yang, you are also an old minister, you used to give your father and the emperor a fold when you were in Beijing, but I haven't seen you grind and chirp like this, what's the matter, this matter has been decided, what else do you need to say?" See for yourself. ”

As he was talking, he heard the guard's report that Ji Shizi came.

The prince's face suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly walked out to greet him.

Ji Nancheng was about to salute, but was supported by the prince, "Tingrui, you are finally here, these days have been bitter and lonely, but fortunately now you are here." ”

The prince looked very excited, as if he had seen a relative he hadn't seen for many days.

Lord Yang who followed later: ......

Ji Shizi, if you don't come early or late, you just came at this time, and there will be more trouble.

Lord Yang had a headache, and he didn't forget that the last time he was in the post house, Shizi embarrassed him.

"The minister's rescue is too late, His Highness has suffered!" Ji Nancheng still insisted on making a half-salute, "If I had known that this was the case, I would not have left His Highness if the minister said anything!" ”

The prince listened very helpfully, patted Ji Nancheng on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Lonely, this time, he is also a fortune teller, of course, thanks to the fourth child, if he hadn't blocked a knife for Gu at the Tongfu Inn, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you now." You and the fourth child are both good brothers who are lonely! ”

Ji Nan Castle: ......

If in the past, Ji Nancheng would definitely be deeply moved when he heard these sensational words, but now, from time to time, he would think of what the prince had done to the Ji family in his dream, and that feeling would naturally be discounted.

At this moment, when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand to the prince and said: "The minister is afraid, His Royal Highness is noble, how dare the minister be your brother?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Tingrui, why should you be humble, Lone has always regarded you as a brother, and I expect you to always be by Lone's side in the future, and always be Lone's right-hand man." ”

"Your Highness, look—" Lord Yang really didn't want to see the interaction between the two of them, so he interjected.

The prince waved his hand, "Okay, just do what you want." It's such a trivial matter, I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”

Ji Nancheng said: "What's the matter, is it convenient for Your Highness to come and hear about it?" ”

In the past, he would not have paid attention to these events.

But for now, we still need to pay more attention.

Lord Yang's face was cold, it was about saving the prince this time, and he wanted to write an excerpt and present it to His Majesty.

Naturally, there will be a lot of good words for the envoys, and they will never take credit for that little girl.

The prince meant that Lord Luo should be the first to take the lead, and he would also write Miss Shen into it. But Lord Yang had a different opinion, saying that in order to protect Miss Shen, she should not be involved in this matter.

It is also said that everyone worked together to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince.

The implication is that Lord Luo is just cooperating, only hard work, no credit.

The prince was so entangled by him that he couldn't do it, and when he saw Tingrui present, he hastily responded.

Now that he saw that Tingrui was interested, he was happy to show him.

So, under Lord Yang's unkind eyes, Ji Nancheng looked at the fold and wanted to roll his eyes angrily.

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness.

This is the face of the courtiers.

There is danger of running faster than a rabbit, and it is not polite to take credit at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he himself had someone stay in Qizhou, if he hadn't heard everything from Ah Wen's mouth, this single letter would have completely wiped out everything that Lord Luo and Ah Wen had done.

Lord Yang, as a Zhongshu Ling, can be said to be the first close minister by His Majesty's side. Many times what he said was more trusted by His Majesty than the words of the Crown Prince.

If this letter is presented to His Majesty, it is conceivable that these envoys are not only right, but have made great contributions.

At that time, His Majesty will have a preconceived idea, and he will not be easily swayed by other people's words.

Alas, the prince, he is a fool......

"Your Highness, Lord Yang, this is not appropriate." Ji Nancheng said straightforwardly.

Lord Yang: "What's wrong?" The prince has just come to Qizhou, and I'm afraid I don't know what happened here. ”

Ji Nancheng looked at him and said, "No, on the contrary, I may know a little more than Lord Yang." ”

Lord Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said, "So, has the prince seen that gang of bandits?" ”

"Yes." Ji Nancheng said calmly: "That's why I went back to Beijing to ask my father for more information about those bandits." Fortunately, it was worth the trip. ”

He even lied so solemnly that even the prince on the side almost believed it.

Lord Yang was also suspicious immediately.

Could it be that the gang of bandits in the southwest did it?

When he was in Beijing, he had read the information of the bandits, and it was said that the bandit leader was a descendant of a princess of the previous dynasty, and he recruited troops to restore the country.

Back then, the princess of the former dynasty was rescued by a mysterious tribal leader when she was in distress, and then married him and gave birth to children for him.

Now the leader of the tribe is the grandson of the princess, who was ordered by his grandmother to restore the kingdom.

Last year, troops were dispatched on several occasions to wantonly harass the southwestern border areas of Daqian, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

His Majesty sent the Marquis of Zhennan to encircle and suppress, but he was attacked by the other party.

The Marquis of Zhennan lost his troops and returned with a feather.

After that, the gang of bandits became even more rampant, and threatened to occupy the southwest first, and then attack Kyoto, killing all the descendants surnamed Zhao.

Your Majesty was furious.

If it weren't for the accident on Shuofeng Island, His Majesty might have sent troops to the southwest again.

Since the battle last year, in order to save face, the Marquis of Zhennan has repeatedly asked His Majesty to resign on the grounds that the old disease has recurred and needs to be recuperated, but His Majesty has rejected it.

The courtiers can see that although His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Ji family, the most trusted person is the Ji family.

Therefore, if His Majesty sends troops, even if the son of the Ji family is not the main general, he will be the vanguard.

Originally, the Ji family was very sensible and almost did not participate in court politics.

However, now the son of the world wants to see the excerpt he wrote to His Majesty, and he also gave his opinion eloquently.

This opinion......

Does he listen or not?

If the gang of thieves found out about the prince's whereabouts, it was also possible to kidnap the prince as a deterrent.

But what about that note?

As shrewd as Lord Yang, he couldn't help but be confused.
