Li Zeyi arranged the next things, left from the study, and entered the palace in a carriage.

In the imperial study room of the palace, the emperor is studying with several ministers whether to establish an official position specializing in pistols. There are more generals who come to the imperial study this time, so naturally there are more voices of support. On the other side, people led by Fu Xiang held opposing views.

The two sides argued, and the fight was about to start.

The general's mouth can not be said to be Wenchen, but the killing aura on the general's body is also quite terrifying. All of a sudden, the imperial study was very lively.

Fu Xiang stood on the side with slightly lowered eyes, without saying a word, and on the other side, Commander Feng also did not speak.

The emperor watched them arguing endlessly, rubbing his head, obviously having a headache from the noise.

Commander Feng glanced at it, suddenly stood up, and said respectfully: "The emperor should have made a decision in his heart, and the ministers obeyed the emperor's orders. ”

The emperor was slightly surprised when he heard this, he thought that it would be Fu Xiang who would stand up and say this, but he didn't expect it to be Commander Feng who stood up.

But whoever stands up is the same, he smiled slightly and nodded: "It is true that I have already made a decision in my heart, but I still want to hear the opinions of the ministers, but seeing that you are arguing, I will do what I want, so as not to hurt your peace." ”

Fu Xiang raised his head at this time, glanced at the emperor and Commander Feng, and finally said respectfully: "Everything obeys the emperor's holy order." ”

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "If this pistol can be researched, it can be used in our army to increase our strength by a large margin. It is enough to make the other two countries jealous and dare not act rashly. Although the Three Kingdoms now appear to be peaceful and friendly on the surface, I have received news that the regent of the Rui Kingdom has retired and the little emperor is in charge. And the Jin Kingdom will send a favored princess to make peace with the little emperor of the Rui Kingdom, and once the marriage between these two countries is definitely a threat to our Dajing. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, the faces of several ministers changed. The civil officials, who did not agree with it before, stopped speaking at this time.

The little emperor of Narui can force the regent to retire from the court, and he is pro-government so quickly, it can be seen that it is not simple. If it is really united with the Jin Kingdom, it will be a great threat to Dajing. Therefore, studying the powerful pistol can be regarded as a strength boost for them Jingguo, and it can deter the other two countries even more.

Just as the imperial study fell silent, the little eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yi has come down." ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately asked the little eunuch to invite Prince Yi in.

With a smile on his face, the little eunuch invited people in.

Li Zeyi saw several ministers in the imperial study, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward to greet his father first, and then sat on a chair on the side after accepting the minister's greeting.

"If the father has something, the son will go to the back and wait first?"

The emperor shook his head when he heard this: "You came just in time, and this matter has something to do with you." ”

Li Zeyi raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Oh?" And the ministers stayed and listened. ”

Grand Commander Feng glanced at Prince Yi, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, since you have decided to study that pistol. Someone who is familiar with this thing must be sent, and those two overseas people must be willing to cooperate with someone who is more familiar. The minister felt that Prince Yi was very suitable to take over the errand of studying pistols. ”

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and he thought the same thing in his heart. After all, Yi'er got this thing back, and he also found two overseas people, so it was most suitable for him to take over this matter.

But before the emperor could speak, Fu Xiang spoke first: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate, although this pistol and the overseas people were found by Prince Yi." But now Prince Yi can bear the Praetorian Guards and the Imperial Forest Army, which is the important task of protecting the safety of the emperor and the entire Shangjing, and there is no room for mistakes. As for this errand of researching pistols, others can also take on it. Your Majesty, you have so many princes, all of whom are very talented, and they will definitely be able to take over this important task. ”

When the emperor heard this, a touch of unhappiness flashed in his heart, but he felt that what Fu Xiang said also made some sense. Now there are indeed a lot of burdens on Yi'er, and it has aroused the jealousy of the prince, and the prince has made a lot of moves in private. If this matter is handed over to Yi'er again, I am afraid that the prince will definitely be forced to be urgent.

He wanted to sharpen the prince's temperament, but he didn't want to take his favorite son to practice for the prince.

"Your Majesty, what Fu Xiang said is very reasonable."

Many Wenchen echoed it, and the other generals did not say anything. In their opinion, Prince Yi was naturally the most suitable candidate, but Fu Xiang's words also made sense, and Commander Feng did not stand up against it again, they only kept silent.

Li Zeyi glanced at Fu Xiang and saw him nodding towards him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. He didn't want to do this errand next, but he didn't want it to fall into the hands of the prince's people. The eldest brother naturally can't do it, but he knows that the eldest prince and the crown prince are now allied and want to work together to deal with him.

"What Fu Xiang said does make some sense, but I don't know if you have the right person to take over the errand?"

Dajing has never paid much attention to overseas, so I don't know much about overseas, and few people understand the language of overseas people. For a while, I really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Fu Xiang was silent for a moment, and then continued: "The minister thinks that the five princes can take over this errand, and now that the five princes have been married, I heard that following the prince has also helped the prince do a lot of things, and they are all very good......

Before Fu Xiang's words were finished, Li Zeyi sneered as if he had heard a funny joke: "Is Fu Xiang blatantly seeking an errand for his future son-in-law?" ”

Fu Xiangyan sneered in his heart when he heard this, but there was still a smile on his face: "Where does Prince Yi say this, the fifth prince is the son of the emperor, why do you need my courtier to find an errand for him." You said this, but you felt that the fifth prince was incompetent and was not qualified to take on this errand. ”

Li Zeyi put down the teacup in his hand and sneered: "Fu Xiang doesn't need to stir up trouble here, this king's character and father are the most clear, and he has always said something, and what he said is the truth." The fifth brother is really not suitable for taking on this errand, what does the father think? ”

A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, but this Yi'er's temperament still hasn't changed. I thought that I could be more restrained by training on the border battlefield, but I looked a lot calmer, but it became sharper and sharper.

"Well, Yi'er is right. Lao Wu is indeed not suitable for taking this errand, so who do you think is more suitable for taking this errand? ”

"Erchen thinks that the fourth brother is the most suitable. The fourth brother has traveled abroad all the year round, has seen a lot of knowledge, and has also gone to sea to go overseas, can understand their language, and has no problem communicating with them. ”

The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, he really didn't know that his three emperors had been overseas, but thinking about his temperament, it was not impossible.

Li Zeyi really didn't lie, his fourth brother likes to travel everywhere. He has lived overseas for a long time, and he knows more about it than he does.

He had such an idea before, and wanted to propose to his father that the fourth child take over the errand of researching pistols.

"Well, if it's really like what you said, the fourth child is really the most suitable candidate." The emperor nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Jing'er to enter the palace to see if he is suitable, and if he is suitable, let him take this errand." ”

Fu Xiang moved the corners of his mouth, met Li Zeyi's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. It was he who underestimated Prince Yi, and it seems that he is really the prince's rival.

Now that the matter was almost settled, the ministers were ready to leave.

The emperor stopped Commander Feng, who was about to leave: "Commander Feng, you wait, I have something to tell you." ”

Commander Feng's footsteps paused, and then he turned around and walked back. He knew in his heart, and after returning from the border pass, his wife told him the emperor's thoughts and wanted to marry his daughter to the fourth prince.

After the other ministers left, only Prince Huang Shangyi and Commander Feng were left in the imperial study.

"Aiqing, sit down."

Commander Feng sat on the chair on the side, thought for a while, and said, "What does the emperor have to arrange for his ministers to do?" ”

"No, I heard that your daughter has reached the age of seeing each other, what do you think of my fourth prince?" He took a sip from the teacup on the imperial table, with a gentle smile on his face.

Hearing this, Commander Feng hurriedly got up from the chair and said respectfully: "The fourth prince is naturally good, but the little girl is a little willful when she is favored by the ministers and his wife. Without the softness and skillfulness of a woman, I am afraid that the four princes will not like it. ”

Hearing this, the emperor laughed: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this, Miss Feng is the fourth child who likes it herself." Besides, the fourth child has always disliked the softness of the women of the Jingzhong family, what he likes is the bold and lively temperament of Miss Feng. ”

The emperor has already said this, and Commander Feng naturally has no way to refuse. And he asked his daughter in private, and when he saw that she didn't seem to be very repulsive, he had a tacit consent.

"Aiqing doesn't have to come down immediately, after all, it is a lifelong event for the two children, you go back and ask your daughter what she means."

With the previous events of the prince and Lin Zhuohua, the emperor doesn't want to give marriage blindly now, so this marriage is better if both parties are willing.

Commander Feng was a little flattered, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's consideration of the little girl, the minister must ask clearly when he goes back." "Fish fish

The emperor nodded gently, and then said with a smile: "Then I will wait for Aiqing's good news." ”

Commander Feng saluted, and then exited the imperial study. I was very moved by the emperor's actions, and their emperor was indeed the king of the Holy Ming.

Li Zeyi glanced at his father, who was in a good mood to drink tea, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Father, my son came here today to set the wedding date." Now that Zhuohua has arrived, the wedding can be held. ”

The emperor didn't seem surprised at all, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites has already started preparations." ”

Hearing this, Li Zeyi expressed great satisfaction.

"Father, how do you want to deal with the matter of the Purple Jade Prince?"

His people have been staring at the Ziyu Gongzi, and the Ziyu Gongzi is now on his way to Beijing. He thought that the purple jade prince should have to make a move soon.

Now that the Long Rui mission has not left, and Kalisha's marriage has not yet been decided, who is the person who is close to him will probably be decided in the next two days.

"It's my birthday in a short time, and this time it's my birthday."

The emperor's words were only half said, but Li Zeyi already understood the meaning. The father was preparing to do a big job, and he happened to use this reason to recall Ning Yuanbo back to Shangjing and deal with people secretly.

Anyway, no one will find out about secretly dealing with a person with the name of an ominous son, and even if they do, no one will say anything.

"Naturally, my father's birthday will be a big deal, and Uncle Yan will also return to Beijing again."

The emperor nodded, this person has only been gone for a long time, and he didn't expect to return so soon to let the family toss back again......

When Li Zeyi heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, with the cooperation of Prince Yan and Uncle Yan, he should be able to solve the Ziyu prince soon.

When he came out of the palace, he was in a very happy mood. The upward curvature of the corners of his mouth has never disappeared, and the cold breath of the whole person has weakened a little softer.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he immediately called the butler over and began to sort out his private treasury. Now that the wedding date has been set, it is natural that preparations for this dowry must also begin.

Looking at the things in his private vault, I always feel that there are still too few.

The old housekeeper and Suifeng were a little speechless when they saw this, even if the prince married the crown princess, they would not prepare so much for the dowry. The most important thing is that any one of them is extremely valuable.

"Lord Wang, the dowry does not need to go from your private treasury, it is all from the treasury of the public school."

Li Zeyi nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew this, but he always wanted to give his little girl the best everything, the things in the public treasury were not bad, but they were not as good as the things in his own private treasury.

He didn't want to wronged the little girl, besides, the things in this private vault would not be all the little girl's at that time, it would be the same if it was given early and late, so it was better to put it in the dowry and let everyone know that they valued her.

In this way, those who have bad intentions should also take care of him.

"Well, this king knows. However, these will also be included in the dowry gift, and they will be sent to the Guogong Mansion together when the time comes. ”

In the end, he still picked out half of the things from the private treasury and put them in the dowry.

The wedding date of the two was set, and the Lin Guogong Mansion also received the holy decree. Looking at such a fast marriage, Mrs. Lin really didn't know what to say, so she could only follow everyone to thank her and accept the holy decree.

It was only when the father-in-law who announced the decree left that Mrs. Lin spoke: "Fortunately, I started preparing early, otherwise there would be enough time for a month." ”

Lin Zhuohua was also very surprised in his heart, but then he was indifferent.

"Now that the wedding dress has been embroidered, your dowry is almost ready. But now that King Yi has become Prince Yi, you will marry Prince Yi and Princess Yi. This dowry will naturally be more, and it will depend on the amount of dowry sent by Prince Yi to increase it. ”

Listening to her mother's chatter, Lin Zhuohua sighed in her heart, even if she married into the East Palace and became the crown princess in the previous life, she was not as troublesome as she is now.

"My mother-in-law is the most powerful, and you can rest assured that these things will be left to your daughter." Lin Zhuohua hurriedly grabbed his mother's arm, and continued with a smile: "It's just that Master Ouyang will be here in two days, and my daughter will be ready to welcome Master Ouyang." ”

Mrs. Lin nodded when she heard this, and patted her hand: "At this time, I will hand it over to my mother, and you will entertain Mr. Ouyang well." If you need anything, tell the steward to do it. ”

Mr. Ouyang's identity is different, she went to the Guogong Mansion in person, so she naturally had to entertain her well. And with the identity of the other party, I am afraid that I will alarm the emperor.

Mrs. Lin guessed correctly, the emperor also received the news that the Ouyang family was going to come to the Guogong Mansion. Among the hidden families, the Ouyang family is the most powerful, and it can be said that they can be on an equal footing with him, the emperor.

As the emperor of Jingguo, he naturally couldn't greet him in person. But it also made people prepare generous gifts, and when the Ouyang family arrived at the Guogong Mansion, they were sent over to welcome them.

He leaned back slightly on the cushion, a little tiredness between his brows.

"What has the prince done in the past two days?"

A person walked out of the shadows and replied in a low voice: "The prince has frequent contact with foreign families, and he also has contacts with Yigu and Ziyu Gongzi, and now Ziyu Gongzi and the valley master of Yigu are on their way to Beijing." ”

The person who spoke paused slightly, and said with some hesitation: "The subordinates have also discovered one thing......

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The emperor's heart sank, the prince actually had dealings with the prince of Ziyu, did he know that the prince of Ziyu was Ning Yuanbo? In addition, his son is really powerful, and he even has a friendship with the valley master of the Medical Valley, and it seems that there are still a lot of things he doesn't know.

"The prince seems to have some relationship with the people of the Gu clan, and there seems to be someone around him who can do Gu magic, but his subordinates haven't found this person yet."

Hearing this, the emperor's face sank, and the momentum of the whole person changed violently. A violent atmosphere abounded, and it took a long time to regain peace and regain peace.

"Check, check carefully for me, and we must find out this person."

There was a bit of gnashing in his low and condensed voice, as if he had a great hatred with the Gu Clan.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Silence returned to the imperial study, and the emperor pressed the corner of his forehead that was faintly painful. The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, which showed that the heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Thinking of the scene he saw when he was young, it still appears in his dreams from time to time, and he can't get rid of it. Finally, as time passed, he had gradually forgotten, but he didn't expect his son to have some contact with the Gu clan.

Jing Guo ordered that it was strictly forbidden to have anything to do with the people of the Gu clan, but the prince directly ignored this law. What is he going to do when he contacts the Gu people?

The emperor has always been suspicious, his eyes sank, and then he called a person to let people leave after a few careful instructions, and he also got up and left the imperial study.

In Prince Yi's mansion, Li Zeyi was sitting in the study dealing with the urgent letters sent from the dark pavilion. Hearing the noise, he spoke lightly.

"It's all done?"

"Yes, master. Now the emperor already knows that there are people from the Gu clan around the prince. ”

Li Zeyi nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to let the visitor retreat.

As long as his father knew about this, he would definitely be more wary with his suspicious nature.
