The city wall is a strong fortress of a city. In the capital of a country, it symbolizes the rise and fall of a country. When the city wall is broken, the country is also broken, which is an eternal truth. At this time, the middle-aged man stood on the observation deck, and his bright dragon robe revealed his identity. This person is none other than the king of the Eagle Kingdom, Wei Zong.
And the one standing beside Wei Zong, dressed in a first-class official robe and holding a scepter, was the national teacher of the Eagles Kingdom, Fang Weizhong.
Fang Weizhong came to the palace early this morning, and Wei Zong thought that his beloved son was also in the envoy procession, so he allowed him to come to the observation deck of the Son of Heaven and wait for the return of the prince.
As a national teacher, Fang Weizhong has stood on this observation deck many times, but this time it is to borrow his son's light, which he never expected.
"For loyalty, this time to envoy to another country, Tianqi has made a lot of contributions, and your Fang family really did not disappoint me."
"Your Majesty, the dog is still young, and I am afraid that he will inevitably cause some trouble in the team, and it is already his blessing that Your Majesty does not blame him."
"That's not what I said, talents are talents, I have my own vision, Ling Lang can't be wrong."
Wei Zong is particularly appreciative of his beloved son, Fang Weizhong can't tell what it feels like, he knows where his son's heart is, he knows it clearly, and he is afraid that the Fang family will be affected by him in the future.
"Your Majesty for the dog."
"Your Majesty, the team is back."
The inner supervisor who served close reminded Wei Zong in a whisper, and looking from a distance, Wei Zong saw a scene that made him have no regrets in his life.
The avenue outside the city is like a sand sculpture dragon in the sun, and the two ends of the avenue are two different worlds, one bright and one dark, one happy and one sad, one battle and one defeat, this is the avenue outside the city wall, which will welcome the light and bring the darkness, and the rise and fall are only in that moment. Like a long dragon, the procession walked towards the city gate, and the young man led by him rode on a high horse, and the robe of the armpit of the golden python fox on his body was not daring to look directly under the scorching sun. The boy raised a bright smile, and when he saw the people on the observation deck of the city wall, he waved his hands excitedly, it was the father he had been thinking about for a long time.
Wei Zong saw his son waving at him, and said in his heart that he was really a little uncomfortable with the lack of a living treasure by his side these days. He's a son who always changes the law to make him happy, but he never falls behind in his homework. As a generation of emperors, it is not enough to have a strategy for governing the country, and being approachable can sometimes be an excellent means to win people's hearts, and the prince is precisely the person worth getting close to.
"Prince, don't be like this."
The middle-aged man beside the young man spoke slowly, his voice was not loud but it was soul-stirring.
The crown prince Wu Qi turned his head to look at the man who spoke, that is, his own concubine, Zheng Chengren, the general who was the protector of the country.
"General, let's finally return to the capital, let's skip the rules or something for the time being."
What Wu can't stand the most on weekdays is General Zheng's endless control, no matter what, he is also the prince who is about to become an adult, and General Zheng's management is too lenient. If it weren't for his father's frequent instructions to teach him to be a corporal of etiquette and virtue, respect the old and love the young, he would not have had too much affection for this Taifu.
Zheng Chengren saw the impatience on the prince's face, and his heart was also angry, he has been by the prince's side since he was young, he has watched the prince grow up for so many years, he knows the prince's heart very well, and he also knows that the prince has a fun-loving and unfettered heart. He originally thought about indulging the prince, but after weighing it several times, he still had strict requirements for the prince. Now that the prince is more and more disobedient to advice, he has no choice at this point, maybe His Majesty is right, the prince is no longer something he can assist. Even if he has a heart for the prince, the fact that his daughter was promised to become the king is the master of His Majesty, His Majesty's meaning is self-evident, and only the prince has not yet understood the deep meaning in the Manchu Dynasty.
Zheng Chengren's face was solemn, his black eyebrows were also twisted together, and his appearance only felt upset in Wu Bao's eyes.
This old man has a lot of control!
"General Zheng, my father also likes me like this, and besides, I don't plan to tell my father about that day, so don't make it difficult for the general."
"You ......"
The most unbearable thing in Zheng Chengren's life is to be threatened, and Wu Epidemic's approach is nothing more than touching his bottom line. He has lived for more than forty years, and he has never been threatened by a few people, and how many people has he been afraid of when he fought on the battlefield? A prince who has not yet achieved great things dares to ride on his neck, where is his face!
"General Zheng, what the prince said is not unreasonable, let's finally come back, the rules will be waived."
Zheng Chengren was about to have a seizure, but Fang Tianqi stopped him. Fang Tianqi's words lingered in his ears, and he realized how much trouble Fang Cai's actions would bring to him. You must know that His Majesty loves the crown prince to a certain extent, and it is difficult to give up the precious son and the loyal courtier, but if you really have to make a choice, the answer can be imagined.
Zheng Chengren glanced at the prince and stopped talking, and silently folded to the back.

On the Eagle Palace, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ranks on both sides, and Wei Zong, who is at the top, sits on the dragon chair, with a faint smile on his face that is rare in a century. Such an emperor seemed much more gracious.
"Today is an important day for my Eagle Country, and the team of envoys has returned smoothly. Thank you, the people of the Eagle Country. ”
Wei Zong's words lingered in the main hall for a long time, and all the ministers understood Wei Zong's approach.
Since the founding of the country since the beginning of the country for a hundred years, there have been constant disputes with the surrounding countries, and friendly exchanges have been fought by Wei Zong since the succession of the trace, the prince's envoy to the country of the Eagle has brought great benefits, not to mention how difficult and dangerous the road to the envoy is, everyone has heard of it. The prince's move won the hearts of the king.
"Father, this is what a son should do. As the prince of the Eagle Country, it is the duty of the children to do things for the people of the dawn, if the father is so polite, how can the ministers be mixed up in this court? ”
Wu Bao's words were a little playful, and no one would regard his words as a big rebellion.
Everyone knows that the prince of the dynasty has a childish heart, and the reason why the ministers support him is because of his gifted strategy of governing the country, but also because he has a good heart that an emperor should have, and only with a good heart can he love the people and rule the country.
"Plague, if you have to say that, I will punish you."
"Erchen doesn't dare."
Wei Zong's majesty towards the crown prince changed in the eyes of all the ministers, where is this anger, it is obviously a joke. As the old saying goes, 'Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger', the prince treats Wei Zong, and Wei Zong treats the prince, and the father-son relationship between these two people is really envious of others.
During the conversation between the father and son, King Cheng Wu stood there without saying a word, and in his eyes, there was nothing but sarcasm. The father and son in the temple staged a great drama of envy of the family affection of others, but they forgot what they got today, and when they enjoyed the supreme right in peace, they were afraid that they had already left the tragic death of that person behind, and this was their hatefulness.
"King Cheng, you have handled the affairs of the capital very well in recent days, and I am very satisfied."
As soon as Wei Zong's words changed, all the ministers looked at Wu Zhen, who lowered his head very low and replied:
"Thank Your Majesty for your love, and the minister has something to say."
"Exactly."
Fang Weizhong, who was behind the prince on the right, deliberately looked at Wu Zhen, he was very curious about the words of this king at this time, and he wanted to know if his guess was accurate. To make His Royal Highness King Cheng play things today, what he wants to play must be 100,000 urgent or very important, and the ministers believe that His Royal Highness King Cheng is dedicated to the people, but he is too idle on weekdays.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been deeply tired of dealing with the affairs of the capital on behalf of the prince in recent days, and this time the prince returns, the minister hopes that His Majesty can transfer all affairs to the prince, and return the minister's leisure time."
The voice of neither humility nor arrogance resounded in the hall, and the ministers couldn't help but gasp when they heard King Cheng's words, and they were extremely curious about where King Cheng's confidence came from. This pearl of the previous generation, Wei Zong's nephew, what ability can make Wei Zong promise his character again and again? Is it true to be an idle prince? Or is it a hypocrisy? Is that chair in mind?
After speaking, Wu Zhen met the suspicious eyes of the man above, his eyes were quiet, and Wei Zong naturally didn't see anything wrong.
Since he doesn't like government affairs, how can he, as the king of a country, embarrass him? Moreover, this is not a good thing for his son, one less person who cares about the chair, the prince will have one less opponent, Wu Zhen, always a legitimate opponent, after all, he has the pure blood of the Wu family.
"Exactly. Plague, since your cousin is unwilling to take on this job, I will leave these affairs to you, and you have to do it well, you know? ”
"The retainers obeyed."
Wu Bao naturally took the original affairs into his own hands, and no one knew the trace of hesitation in Xie Li's eyes when he got up.
"Father, the son of the retainer on the way to the envoy accidentally got a piece of lynx, the son of the retainer has ordered someone to make a robe of the cloth, and embroidered a golden dragon on it, here to the father and the king."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, this lynx was really a rare treasure. The four seasons of the country are not very distinct, the winter is mostly damp and cold, there is little snow, and the fur is rarely made of clothing, and the country rarely sees the fur to protect against the cold, let alone such a good material as the lynx. The prince's move will win the heart of His Majesty.
The four palace ladies carried the robes into the hall, and many eyes never left the robes.
When Wei Zong saw such a thoughtful object, he felt a little more love for his beloved son in his heart.
Wu Zhen looked his robe up and down, glanced at the prince opposite, and fell into deep thought.
"Good! Good! ”
Wei Zong was obviously very satisfied with the robe offered by the crown prince, and all the ministers made eye contact, and then knelt on the ground and said in unison.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty for the lynx! ”
The loud voice resounded through the hall, and in this burst of shouts, how many words were true?
★
Coming out of the main hall, the ministers gathered in groups of three or five to prepare to leave the palace together.
Fang Tianqi was with Fang Weizhong and the prince, and Fang Weizhong was extremely enthusiastic about the prince.
"Your Highness, the old minister wants to thank His Highness here, thank Your Highness for helping to take care of the dogs these days, and not letting the dogs cause a big disaster."
Fang Weizhong had long expected how difficult it would be on the way to the mission, but the undercurrent on the road was something he did not expect, Tianqi was able to come back well, and he wanted to take care of the prince without it, this thanks, Fang Weizhong thought it was very necessary.
"The national teacher must not be, and I didn't do anything. I am the same age as Tianqi, and I can usually talk about it, plus Tianqi itself has extremely high martial arts, and understands the rules, and there are many people who are convinced in the team. ”
Seeing Fang Weizhong saluting to himself, how could Wu Huang accept this worship. Yu Gong, Fang Weizhong is the national teacher of the Eagle Country and the elder of his father's generation. Yu private, he is the father of his friend, and as a junior, he will never be worshipped.
"That's what Your Highness said."
Since the prince said so, if Fang Weizhong said anything more, it would inevitably seem too hypocritical. Seeing that the prince had a very good relationship with his son, Fang Weizhong also breathed a sigh of relief, at least Tianqi had a guarantee in the future, and the Fang family was dispensable.
"Master Fang, please stop."
A deep voice rang out, and the three of them paused to look back.
I saw King Cheng walking towards them.
Fang Weizhong felt bad at the first time, with his understanding of King Cheng, it was definitely not a good thing for King Cheng to find him at this time. But there was no way for him to leave.
As soon as Wu Zhen came out of the main hall, he saw the father and son of the Fang family walking with the crown prince, he didn't want to go over to join in the fun, but when he thought of what he said to Fang Weizhong that day, he felt the need to remind this forgetful old man.
"Become a king."
"Become a king."
"Cousin."
"Prince."
After saluting, Wu Zhen deliberately looked at Fang Weizhong, Fang Weizhong wanted to avoid but couldn't avoid it. He knew very well what King Cheng was blocking himself here for, he had never thought of backing down on this matter, and he was loyal to him at least now and still had the ability to say no to King Cheng.
When Wu Bao saw Wu Zhen coming to Fang Weizhong, he was somewhat puzzled. His cousin is very lonely on weekdays, and he doesn't have much friendship with the national teacher. What is the purpose of calling the national teacher today?
"Is there something wrong with my cousin stopping Prince Ben and the national teacher?"
Wu Epidemic is like this, there are some things that are rarely hidden in the heart, and you can say whatever you want, without any scruples. As everyone knows, his approach is exactly what Wu Zhen wants, and you must know that Wu Zhen's ambition is not necessarily smaller than Wei Zong's ambition back then.
"Prince, the minister and the national teacher have a few words to say."
"Is it convenient for this prince to be in the same day? Inconvenient words......"
"It's not something unsightly, it's naturally convenient."
Wu Zhen interrupted what Wu Bao wanted to say in time, for him, more people are better to do, so even if Fang Weizhong wants to repay the debt, he can't rely on it.
"I don't know what the prince and the old minister have to say?"
Fang Weizhong could clearly guess what Wu Zhen would say to him, but he was still calm.
"The national teacher won't forget all the words that the king said at the birthday banquet, right? Ling Yuan's matter ......"
"Lord Wang, Qingxi is still young."
With the sentence "still young", Fang Weizhong prevaricated Wu Zhen. It's just that this short sentence can really prevaricate the past.
He didn't notice that he mentioned Qingxi just now, and the prince's eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, but this time it fell into Fang Tianqi's eyes.
"This king didn't say that it was now, and the Taoist ideal of the future will be more knowledgeable than this king. Although Qingxi is small, she is also loved by the national teacher since she was a child, I am afraid that the national teacher is reluctant. ”
Wu Zhen's words made Fang Weizhong's heart tighten, and it seemed that Wu Zhen didn't plan to let go of the Fang family.
"Lord Wang, there is no reason to force this matter."
This is Fang Weizhong's final bottom line, he expected that Wu Zhen would not easily explain the ins and outs of this matter in front of the prince.
"Master Fang, don't worry, this king won't do anything. Prince, there is still something in the courtier's house, so I will leave first. ”
"Well, cousin, be careful on the road."
Since Wu Zhen is unwilling to make his words clear, Wu Zhen will not say anything, seeing that Wu Zhen looks very sure, Wu Zhen guesses that the young lady of the Fang family is going to suffer, what kind of person Wu Zhen is, he knows better than anyone else.
"National teacher, are you okay?"
Seeing Wu Zhen walking away, Wu Wei saw that Fang Weizhong's face was not very good, and he motioned to Fang Tianqi on the side to step forward and help him.
"The old minister is fine, let His Highness see the joke."
Fang Weizhong knew that this was an old problem for many years, and he would be fine when he went home to rest for a while. It's just that this physical illness is easy to treat, but the heart is extremely difficult, and it seems that I have to plan carefully.
"The national teacher doesn't have to say this, this prince knows what to listen to and what not to listen to, Ling Yuan is a good girl, and the national teacher must be relaxed. Tianqi, quickly help the national teacher back to the house to rest. ”
"Yes."
"Prince, the old minister will retire first."
Now that the prince has expressed his attitude, the stone in Fang Weizhong's heart has fallen a little. With the prince's promise, he and Qingxi can still have some protection.
"Okay, the national teacher must have a good rest."
Looking at the figure of the Fang family's father and son gradually drifting away, a trace of uncertainty emerged in Wu Bao's eyes.
Fang Qingxi, how attractive is you?
★
Qingxi and Wanxin chatted with Fang Zhiling in Cuiweiju for a while before coming out, returning to Rongge, Qingxi sat on the soft couch with Wanxin's support.
Wanxin saw her young lady's haggard face, and she couldn't bear it.
A small pestle was placed on Qingxi's back, and Wanxin poured another cup of hot tea for Qingxi.
Qingxi took a big sip of the hot tea, and the warm tea flowed into his stomach, and a warm feeling hit him.
"Miss, we shouldn't have gone so early next time."
took the teacup from Qingxi's hand, and Wanxin looked aggrieved. Just now, she and the young lady were in Cuiweiju, and they didn't even sit on a chair, let alone drink saliva. She is a subordinate and doesn't pay attention to anything, but anyway, the young lady in front of her is the Fang family's concubine, and the eldest lady is too much to do this.
"The eldest sister is angry at me."
Qingxi had long thought that the eldest sister would not let her get better, but today's play was too similar, and she couldn't find fault with it.
"Isn't it just a book! What's the big deal! After all, it's not that she's too stingy! ”
Wanxin has no good impression of this group of femme fatales in the inner courtyard, those masters and subordinates have no extra ability except for fighting in the nest, if you want to say that the entire Fang Mansion still has a kind heart, it has to be her own miss, but the appearance of the young lady is also anxious, after all, she doesn't want the young lady to be bullied by those people all the time, and she always suffers from those people's anger.
"Wanxin, you are not allowed to say such things again next time."
Hearing Wanxin's complaint, Qingxi's eyebrows inadvertently wrinkled slightly. No matter how much she loves Wanxin, she can't indulge this girl's temperament. These days, Wanxin complains more and more, which also makes her realize that she loves Wanxin too much on weekdays, and many times she hopes that Wanxin can make decisions on her own in many things, she doesn't want Wanxin to be the same as other subordinates, what she wants is a good sister who understands her, not a subordinate who obeys her orders. Perhaps, she didn't do it entirely right.
"I'm telling the truth! ……”
Wanxin wanted to say something, but she lost her mind when she saw Qingxi's haggard face. Either way, Miss's body is not about anything.
"Wanxin, if you can't control your mouth, I don't mind sending you to someone else's house."
This is the first time Qingxi has said such heartless words to Wanxin, Wanxin looked at Qingxi in disbelief, and felt as if she had been wronged in a hundred ways.
"Miss......"
