On the day of getting ready to go, the team led by 100 people stood under the imperial city wall, Qi Changrong wore a crescent white robe, looked up at the bright yellow figure on the city wall, and stood in the center of the crowd with extraordinary momentum.

The wind is whistling in her ears, the scorching sun is shining overhead, in this troubled world where people's hearts are fluctuating, Qi Changrong is unprecedentedly calm, even if she stands in the place where she once died, she can look at the culprit who caused her country to collapse in her previous life.

There was even a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the imperial city, accompanied by Jiang Bowen, Emperor An of Jin saw off an army of 100 people here.

His eyes were gloomy and low, and there was only the most conspicuous Qi appearance in the crowd, the prince he was most proud of.

Jiang Bowen stood one step behind Emperor Jin An, and said to Emperor Jin An: "Your Majesty, can you summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince up and ask one or two?" ”

Emperor Jin An's eyes were cold, he shook his head calmly, and said, "No need." ”

The prince will not let him down, nor will he disappoint the people, he believes in the prince.

Hearing the unspoken meaning of Emperor Jin An, Jiang Bowen didn't say much, and in the corner that Emperor Jin An couldn't see, he was also seriously looking at Qi Changrong.

That face was as immature as ever, but when it looked at him, there was no respect in those eyes.

In the past few days since he returned to Beijing, he has been sending people to secretly investigate who was ambushing him halfway and delaying his return to Beijing.

However, a large amount of manpower was thrown, but still no results were obtained.

The traces of the people behind the scenes disappeared cleanly, leaving no trace for anyone to detect.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't afford to splash the whole of Kyoto.

Jun Chen rode a high-headed horse and waited at the front for a long time, and when he saw that the team was slow to move, he turned over and dismounted and walked to Qi Changrong's side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pursed his lips and said: "Your Highness, if you don't move, it will be dark." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and unexpectedly met the gaze of Emperor Jin An on the city wall.

Emperor Jin An looked at Junchen quietly, his eyebrows and eyes revealed majesty, and his eyes were not shocked.

Facing his gaze and recalling the injustice of the royal family, an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart.

The air around is oppressive.

Jun Chen curled his fingers, took a secret breath, and the gloom in his eyes flashed, and he pressed back the dissatisfaction in his heart.

He retracted his gaze and subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Changrong, who was speechless.

She looked at Emperor Jin An, and he looked at her.

After a long time, when there were no more bright yellow figures on the city wall, and the wind that had been raging in the imperial capital stopped, Qi Changrong finally spoke.

"Let's go."

After the words fell, she got into the only luxurious carriage in the team, while Junchen turned over and walked at the front of the team with a cold face.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and the wide street was large enough for dozens of people to walk side by side.

The people all knew that this was the team of the prince of the East Palace to quell the southeast rebellion, and they naturally respected it.

In the dense crowd, I don't know who took the lead to say that the road was safe, and the next moment, a bag of fresh melons and fruits was thrown onto the carriage and rolled into the back of the curtain.

Shi Chun was taken aback, and Qi Changrong, who was dealing with government affairs, also slowly put down the thin book in his hand, staring at the bag of melons and fruits in a daze.

Looks...... It's delicious.

Shi Chun patted his chest and muttered softly: "Why are you so unruly, what can you do if you accidentally injure someone......

As soon as she finished speaking, more things were thrown onto the carriage.

There are all kinds of variety, all kinds of things.

The enthusiasm of the people was high, some took the lead, and the rest were naturally not to be left behind, and threw out what they might need.

Then accurately smash the carriage board.

For a while, melons and fruits rained down, and soon all the spare corners of the carriage were piled up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be careful all the way!"

"The grass people are waiting for His Highness to return from chaos!"

"The people of the southeast have always been savage, Your Highness should not be too merciful to them!"

Instructions from all directions came into Qi Changrong's ears.

Faced with the chaos of almost piled up objects on the car, Shi Chun exclaimed in fright: "Do they have money and have no place to use it?!" ”

After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes again, and said angrily: "What a group of reckless reckless people!" I don't want to think about it, if I hurt His Highness, who can afford this responsibility? ”

Having said that, her tone was full of emotion, and the smile in her eyes was about to overflow.

The people are so warm and kind, doesn't it just show that Her Royal Highness has won the hearts of the people?

With the people as the backing, who can, who dares to shake the status of the East Palace?

Qi Changrong stretched out his hand, picked one of them at random, wiped it on his sleeve, and then bit it down.

"Your Highness! The slave has not been tested for drugs, how can you eat it? Shi Chun hurriedly went to grab it, but he pounced.

Qi Changrong avoided Shi Chun's hand stretched out again, thought of the folk proverb he heard from somewhere, and said with a smile: "If you don't do it, you won't get sick if you eat it, and these are the people's intentions, and you can't live up to it." ”

“……”

It's so reasonable, but I don't know where His Highness heard the crooked reasoning.

Jiang You, who had to follow him, was also thrown squarely, he touched his slightly aching forehead, and said with a wry smile: "The prince's trip is really grand, it seems that the gossip that circulated in Shangjing before has not shaken her status in the hearts of the people." ”

Whether it was setting fire to the mountain or attempting to slaughter the city, it was all to make the Great Jin more prosperous, and no one among the people of the Great Jin was qualified to blame her.

Hearing Jiang You's mixed words, Jun Chen lazily responded: "She, not any rumors can defeat her." ”

Jiang You pursed his lips and did not answer.

For the prince of the East Palace, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, but he was his brother-in-law, and the reason why he was able to come out this time was also thanks to Qi Changrong who said good things in front of Emperor Jin An.

Eating people with short hands and soft mouths, he can't say what he is dissatisfied with now.

The team slowly drove out of the gate of Shangjing, and Junchen and Jiang Youxing were at the forefront.

There was a familiar scolding sound behind him, and before Jun Chen could turn around, Qi Changrong had already driven the horse to his side.

As soon as she came, Jiang You mocked her: "Your Highness is delicate and expensive, how can you ride a horse like us?" ”

Jiang You has always been unable to hide things, and he will tell the truth when he thinks of something.

He doesn't look down on the noble sons of the imperial city, ordinary people look like people, they are suave, and they deceive the hearts of a lot of beautiful girls, but when it comes to life and death, one or two can't even protect the most important people.

In his eyes, Qi Changrong is the noble son of the nobleman......

Delicate and expensive?

Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows and did not deny it.

In the past, the servant Spring and Summer often said this, treating her like a fragile glass cup, and she didn't feel much at that time.

But if the same words are said by Jiang You, the feeling is completely different.

Hearing Jiang You's targeting, Qi Changrong smiled as if unintentionally, his eyebrows were full of heroism, and with his handsome and excessive face, he became a romantic flow.

"The car is full of melons and fruits, and it is full of fragrance, it is extremely crowded, and the lonely person can only come out with you, stay at the next foothold, and wait for Shi Chun to deal with the things in the car before returning."

Invisible show-off is the deadliest.

Listening to her words, although Jiang You's face was full of disdain, he didn't stir up trouble again.

……

In the imperial study, a secret order came into the ears of Emperor Jin An.

The chamberlain carefully described the grand occasion when the prince left Beijing to Emperor Jin An, which was decent and did not add oil and vinegar.

Yuan Yi has been by the side of Emperor Jin An since he was a child, and after he finished speaking, he paused: "Your Majesty, as soon as the Taishi returned to Beijing, you sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out, isn't it a little ...... Not quite suitable? ”

The scene of the East Palace being weak and the courtiers being powerful is not what His Majesty wants to see.

In the court, the only one who can compete with the Jiang family is the East Palace, and this time the East Palace is leaving, the Jiang family is dominant, and it is bound to make people panic in the court.

Emperor Jin An asked, "Yuan Yi, what do you think of Jiang Bowen?" ”

Yuan Yi was silent for a long time, and only after a while did he say: "The master of playing with the regime is dangerous...... Maximum. ”

Emperor Jin An asked again: "Then what do you think of the crown prince?" ”

This time, Yuan Yi did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "The prince is naturally intelligent, has a way of doing things, and has a pure heart, as long as he is given enough time, he will be a famous emperor in the world in the future." ”

Emperor Jin An asked again: "The crown prince at this time, and the prince Jiang at this time, if the two of them fight each other, without my intervention, who do you think will lose and who will win?" ”

That's a bit of a difficult question to answer.

Yuan Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing the old slave." ”

Emperor Jin An waved his hand: "It's okay, you just have to say it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Yuan Yi was silent, and he didn't want to say more anyway.

Because he knew in his heart that although the identity of the prince was more noble than Jiang Bowen, he could not necessarily beat him when it came to political affairs.

With Jiang Bowen's means, if it weren't for His Majesty's secret suppression, maybe everything would be out of control now. Seeing that he was really reluctant to speak, Emperor Jin An was not embarrassed, and his slightly rough fingertips rubbed the dragon pattern on the jade seal, and he said: "Jiang Bowen is a loyal minister, with extraordinary ability, and recently calmed Huaishui, in the hearts of the people, he is a great hero." ”

"The East Palace is faintly suppressed, if the prince wants to sit firmly in the East Palace and secure his position in the hearts of the people, he has no other choice but to show his ability."

"If you want to get supreme power, you have to do things that ordinary people can't do."

The better Jiang Bowen is, the more ordinary he will only be in the East Palace.

Only by finding a way to let the limelight of the East Palace overshadow Jiang Bowen can we sit firmly in the hearts of the people, and the unique status of the East Palace.

Hearing Emperor Jin An say this, Yuan Yi suddenly realized that everything His Majesty did was for the sake of the prince.

From this point of view, in His Majesty's heart, there is nothing more important than the crown prince, but I hate those guys who don't understand the facts, put aside the East Palace, and instead stammered with the imperial master.

If they were to know His Majesty's true intentions, they might be shocked.

However, Yuan Yi understood that not a word could be passed on to the outside world.

Emperor Jin An stopped saying a word and put the jade seal in his hand back to its original place.

As an emperor, the most important thing is to balance the court and balance the hearts of the courtiers.

And the selfishness of the emperor is destined not to be shown.
