In the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Taihe, several princes, princes and grandsons who came from afar, faced with wind and dust, faced the wind and snow, and stepped into the capital.

Just above the city tower, Xiao Changhou's head was still hanging high, and a little emperor raised his head inadvertently, crying out in fright.

One cried, and the other children cried too, and the cry in the long guard of honor shook the sky.

They were afraid, they were the royal grandsons born with gold and jade, and they had never seen a dead man, let alone a human head hanging high for many days.

Li Guanzhong was the commander of Feiyuwei at the time, and he is now Qi Shuhao's position. He remembered very well that the child who took the lead in crying was Zhou Zheng, the third son of King Qin.

He still remembered that Zhou Zheng only cried once, and someone covered his mouth.

At that time, the king of Qin was only twenty-four years old, and he had three sons-in-law, all of whom were ordered to enter Beijing.

When King Qin left the capital, he only took his third son, Zhou Zheng, with him.

The prince Zhou Zhen and the second son Zhou Jun were both left in the capital by the little emperor.

The little emperor had just lost his grandfather and father, and his cousins had to spend more time with him.

So the little emperor issued a holy decree, except for King Gui, who had no heirs under his knees, King Yu, King Yan, and King Qin, each of whom left his son in the capital.

Of course, the five-year-old little emperor will not make a holy decree, and this holy decree is the meaning of the empress dowager.

In August of the first year of Chongwen, someone secretly played the plot of Zhou Li, the king of Yu, and the imperial court sent Yang Qin, the nephew of the old protector of the country, to lead the troops to raid the palace of the king of Yu.

King Gui Zhou Zi had a violent temperament, and in March of the second year of Chongwen, someone beat a drum in the capital to complain about grievances, accusing Zhou Zi of cruelty to the people. In April, Zhou Zi was demoted to a concubine in Guangxi, and eight days later, Zhou Zi committed suicide;

Yan Wang Zhou Yi made great achievements, and there was a Tatar army known as the division of tigers and wolves, Chongwen five years in October, only thirty-two years old Yan Wang died under the cold arrow while commanding the battle, in the same year, the prince of Yan Wang who was hostage in the capital died of wind and cold, and only the six-year-old second son attacked the lord, and changed the title of Yanbei County King.

A year later, the imperial court named Yang Qin as the governor of Yanbei on the grounds that the king of Yanbei was young and unable to lead the Yanbei army, and the army under the original Yan Wang's command was under the command of Yang Qin except for the 1,000 soldiers retained by the palace.

Li Yongji, Marquis of Anchang, has not been to the court for a long time, but since that time, he has not even gone to the palace banquet for the New Year's Festival.

Among the several sons of Emperor Taizu, except for the crown prince who he watched grow up, King Yan was the most familiar with him.

When King Yan first went to the battlefield at the age of seventeen, he followed him.

Li Yongji still remembers what Emperor Taizu said to him: "Look at the third child for me, and bring him back alive to see me." ”

That time he brought the three princes back, and later the three princes became the king of Yan, the majestic and invincible king of Yan.

But he never saw King Yan come back alive, King Yan died, and his death was unknown.

Cold arrows? Joke!

The prince of Yan Wang, a sturdy boy like a little calf, just a little wind and cold, died in less than three days, who believes!

King Yu and King Gui, who can only eat, drink and have fun, will die if they die, King Yan is a hero who makes Hu Lu fearful, and he is also dead, and the next one is King Qin.

King Zhou Huan of Qin...... Emperor Taizu's favorite concubine was born, with the royal blood of the previous dynasty, and it is rumored that Emperor Taizu also had to hold the young Zhou Huan on his lap when he reviewed the chapter.

King Qin has guarded the northwest for many years, and his troops are even more than that of King Yan, and it took five years for the Empress Dowager and the Yang family to dare to deal with King Yan, and Li Yongji estimated that it would take almost five years for them to bring down King Qin like they did with King Yan.

But it's only been three years, and they're done.

"Father, what did you and Shang Xuan say?" Li Guanzhong asked.

"I said? I said that the prince of Qin is the prince, it's been several years, where do I remember. Lee Yong-gi said self-deprecatingly.

Li Guanzhong smiled bitterly, the old father's ability to pretend to be confused is not small.

Died a few years ago was Zhou Jun, the second son of King Qin.

The concubine of the king of Qin was seriously ill and died soon, and the king of Qin wrote a letter to ask the saint to be gracious, and let the second son Zhou Jun return to the northwest to serve the sick in order to fulfill his filial piety.

To put it bluntly, I just want Princess Qin to see her son before she dies.

The son of the world will definitely not be able to come back, and the second son will come back, and it will not have much impact.

The Empress Dowager was allowed to leave Beijing on the same day.

Zhou Jun traveled day and night, but no one thought that on the third day of his departure from Beijing, he suddenly had a heartache, he was anxious to see his mother, and refused to stop to seek medical treatment, and the entourage had to let him take the carriage instead.

Several chamberlains who came from the capital committed suicide by biting their tongues on the spot.

Ten days later, Princess Qin died, and she never saw her son until she died.

Li Guanzhong knew why Xiao Changdun would let people come to see his father.

Before the death of Zhou Zhen, the son of King Qin, he saw Li Yongji.

At that time, Zhou Zhen was already very ill, and the emperor specially allowed Zhou Zhen to return to the northwest to recuperate.

The people sent by the King of Qin were already on their way to Beijing.

Although everyone in the world knows that Zhou Zhen stayed in the capital as a hostage, he still has to do superficial work.

Knowing that Zhou Zhen was leaving Beijing, officials and nobles of all sizes in the capital sent Cheng Yi to King Qin's mansion in the capital.

The Marquis of Anchang Mansion is certainly no exception.

According to the practice of the house, in addition to five hundred taels of silver, Cheng Yi also has a hundred-year-old ginseng and several good medicinal materials.

But I don't know what Li Yongji, Marquis of Anchang, thought that day, he put a small picture book bought on the street among these Cheng Yi.

This small painting calligraphy and painting is Xiaoyun 24 generals, when Taizu was alive, this kind of small painting book can be seen everywhere, and later the death of the 24 generals, and some were cut off, and the major printing workshops were afraid of causing trouble, so they were no longer printed.

The one that Li Yongji gave to Zhou Zhen was bought when he was wandering the streets in his early years.

At that time, Li Yongji just felt that this kid was strange and pitiful, and gave him a small picture book for him to read when he was bored on the road.

But he didn't expect that after Zhou Zhen received the small picture book, he actually sent someone to quietly deliver him a message, wanting to see him before leaving.

Although Li Guanzhong repeatedly persuaded him, Li Yongji still went.

He reprimanded: "Lao Tzu has been heroic all his life, what's wrong? Now that I'm old and want to see a sick child, can't I do it anymore? If you are afraid of being affected, open an ancestral hall and draw a clear line with Lao Tzu! ”

Of course, Li Guanzhong would not go to open the ancestral hall, he could only choose the most unnoticeable time, let Li Yongji disguise himself, and then sing a small drama for the prince to mediate the boredom, and quietly entered the mansion of King Qin through the back door.

Li Guanzhong took advantage of his convenience as Feiyuwei to support the people who were in charge of Zhou Zhen, so that his father could meet Zhou Zhen smoothly......
