The town is the closest town to the military camp in the northern part of the Great Yuan.

The town is not big, there are no high-end restaurants and inns, but there are a lot of small things handmade by the residents, Wen Moqing effortlessly bought a medicinal clay pot in the corner at a very low price, and reluctantly paid for some meat, vegetables and eggs according to the advice of the people; When I was carrying a large bag and a small bag to return, I was inadvertently attracted by a roadside stall.

It was a very inconspicuous stall, and the stall owner nestled listlessly behind the stall, most of the items on the stall were half-used, but it was still a rarity in such a sparsely populated town.

The permeable rouge produced in Chongling, the most famous Minzhen eyebrow balm, and many famous gouache ornaments are commonly used by those big women in the imperial capital. In the past, when Wen Mohong was still healthy, he would occasionally take his younger brother to the shop to buy rouge gouache for Bixiao, yes, Wen Moqing knows a lot about these things, even if it is dusty, it can still be seen that these ornaments are good goods with a lot of price.

"How much silver?" ripped off the cloth bag on the horse, and threw it to the stall owner.

The stall took the initiative to move his eyelids, and slowly stuffed the goods into the cloth bag: "The old things in the hometown are idle and useless to sell, since the owner of the goods should also know the price, just look at it." ”

There are a lot of small things, and there are more than a dozen things in the end, and the original price is two or three hundred taels. Wen Moqing looked at the old estimate and discounted it, and there was not too much broken silver in his pocket, so he simply threw down a small silver ticket of one hundred taels and two ingots of ten taels of silver, and asked casually: "Hometown Imperial Capital?" ”

"A small local household, Taizu brought it into the imperial capital, and everything was left behind when it was glorious. In the past ten years, the family has fallen in the middle of the road, and the remaining things have been ruined by the second uncle's visit to the kiln, and he will return to his hometown when he is not at peace with God, thinking of selling things for some silver to get a few acres of land, so that he can feed his wife and children with food and vegetables. Xu was because Wen Moqing was generous, or because he was a little proud of Wen Moqing's question, and the stall owner cheered up and said a few more words.

Fengluo City is the imperial capital of the Yuan Kingdom, the richest and most noble place in the entire Zhongzhou, how many people have rushed to enter Fengluo City as the people of the imperial city, and they all rely on the rules and regulations of the government to ensure that the population will not overflow. But now it's the opposite, people in the imperial capital have gone back to such a remote and barren place to live, which is really disgraceful for Fengluo Ancient City.

"The guest officer is from the imperial capital? It looks like a style. The stall owner loaded the things and handed them to Wen Moqing with both hands, and stretched lazily, "The old friend over there also wrote that the imperial capital was in chaos, and the emperor had not been in the court for a long time. If the guest officer's home is in the imperial capital, leave as soon as possible, I heard that the barbarians of Hostur stormed the imperial capital and wanted to slaughter the city. ”

Did anyone in the palace go to assassinate Helian Ming? Although there are no masters in the rivers and lakes, the king of a country wants to find someone to assassinate whom, so he should not be caught in embarrassment, most likely when he went to question the alliance with Nanqing and Fox Hill. Wen Moqing knew it in his heart, and quietly put away his things and wanted to lead the horse, while the stall owner behind him was still babbling to himself.

"The second prince is sick to death, and the other princes are all straw bales, and sure enough, after the emperor dies, the fourth prince will succeed him, and I don't know if he can stop the Hosdu Kingdom. Alas, the world is going to change hands! ”

These words were said to be beheaded in the imperial capital, but no one was willing to stop and ask for this on the way to the town, and even Wen Moqing did not look back, but sped up and ran to the border barracks.

If the Hosdu Empire really dares to attack the Great Abyss, he must do something.

※※※

At the beginning of the night snow, Fengluo City was covered with silver and white, and it was as clean as a fairyland. Two figures in front of the Canglong Gate of the Imperial Palace stepped out of the carriage, one stood in place, and the other carefully stroked the bulging abdomen and nodded slightly.

"I will ask after seeing His Highness, and Boss Jun will wait quietly for the time being."

"The palace is not as comfortable as the palace, and the princess must be more careful." Jun Wunian coughed lightly, lowered his head slightly and approached Tang Jinyi, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Beware of Concubine Lian Songyun, they will not let go of the opportunity to win you over, you must be cautious and low-key, and it is the best policy to protect yourself and your children." ”

As soon as he entered the deep palace, every step was dangerous, and there were crises everywhere, Tang Jinyi, who used to be a concubine, couldn't understand it anymore, but this time he entered the palace with a special identity and unknown situation, so he naturally had another feeling.

It is not advisable to delay too long in front of the imperial gate, and when the palace maid of the East Palace comes out to greet Tang Jinyi, Jun Wunian respectfully bows and leaves. After returning to the palace alone, Jun Wunian always felt dull in his heart, looking at the lifeless courtyard for a long time and lost his mind - sometimes he was very envious of Chu Ci having a trustworthy servant like Chunqiu, who he wanted to talk to when he wanted to talk to someone, but no one could act as a listener.

A person who persists until now will also feel tired, especially when the person who has pinned his hopes is drifting away.

"Childe, General Xuanwu Yingyun asked to see him, and he is waiting outside the door." When the family came to pass the word, Jun Wunian was in a daze.

"General Yun? You tell General Yun that the prince is not in the mansion, so if you want to find the prince, you should enter the palace. With a wry smile, Jun Wunian said.

Jia Ding shook his head: "I did say so to General Yun, but General Yun said that the person he was looking for was not the prince, but you, the son." ”

Jun Wunian knew that Yun Jiuzhong had a benevolent relationship with Wen Moshu's mother's mother's family, but he couldn't figure out how close he was to Wen Moshu.

"General Yun, what a rare guest." Putting away all kinds of doubts, Jun Wunian personally invited Yun Jiuzhong into the hall, and the dew and fragrant tea were the highest standards for receiving foreign guests.

Yun Jiuzhong couldn't help but look at Jun Wunian, but he couldn't see any clues on his young but weathered face, and in the end, he had to take the initiative to say the purpose of his visit: "I'll get straight to the point." Previously, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was suddenly transferred to the north to take command, because he suddenly failed to meet with Prince Chu to discuss, many things could not be explained in detail, but one thing was specially told to me before leaving - His Royal Highness said that if something happened to the fourth prince and Boss Jun was not by his side, let me be sure to find Boss Jun and ask if there was anything I could do to help. ”

Jun Wunian smiled dumbly: "It's hard for the second prince to have a heart, and at this time, he is still thinking about His Royal Highness." It's a pity that I don't have much to think about now, speaking of which, I have to ask General Yun for advice on matters in the palace. ”

"Boss Jun, don't waste any more time testing me, I can risk finding the door, what else is there to doubt?" Yun Jiuzhong sank his face and said coldly, "How does Your Highness treat the Fourth Prince, Boss Jun is like a mirror in his heart, if he doesn't care too much about his siblings, how can His Highness still worry about it when his health is extremely poor?" Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is critical, and the adulterous concubine and the minister are in charge, rashly exposing their tendencies is tantamount to getting into trouble, can I run away to find trouble? ”

Seeing that Yun Jiu was angry again, Jun Wunian smiled bitterly again and again: "General Yun misunderstood, there is no intention of temptation, but he really doesn't understand the current situation in the DPRK and China. I was not in the imperial capital some time ago, and when I came back, I found that the eyeliner planted in the palace had been removed one by one, and there were fewer and fewer opportunities to talk to His Highness, so I didn't know what the situation was at the moment. ”

Yun Jiuzhong is a military general, and he has spent most of his life studying the art of war, and he has no good impression of those strategists who specialize in using their brains and calculations; But the task was assigned by Wen Moshu, and he was not good at being negative, and Jun Wunian was always humble and polite, and he had a bit of Wen Moshu's gentle temperament, which also made Yun Jiuzhong hard-hearted and gave him a face.

Jiang Xinjiang glanced at Jun Wunian suspiciously, and Yun Jiuzhong leaned back in the chair informally: "Since the emperor took a break from the dynasty with illness, the political affairs of the previous dynasty have been represented by several important ministers and Prime Minister Zuo, and when encountering difficult problems, several important ministers will meet the emperor to ask for opinions. But since more than 20 days ago, Prime Minister Zuo forbade anyone to enter the Shoukang Palace on the grounds that the emperor was weak and should not be disturbed, and Concubine Yun Guifei was also on the side to help, plus the emperor's personal eunuch Zhao Chengde, the three of them guarded the Shoukang Palace tightly, and it was difficult for birds to enter. Yesterday, I heard that the emperor suddenly decreed that the four princes should be canonized as the prince of the prison country, and hundreds of officials were very surprised, but no one could get close to the emperor, so naturally there was no way to determine whether this will was true or false, and now they are all in chaos. ”

"I only learned last night that His Royal Highness was made the crown prince of the country, without any warning in advance." Jun Wunian sighed, wanting to cry and laugh but felt out of place, and his expression was extremely difficult.

A strategist who has assisted for many years, the master became the prince but only learned the news at the last moment, how ridiculous it is to say!

Seeing that Jun Wunian's face was unwilling, Yun Jiuzhong guessed that most of it was Wen Moshu's speculation, and he was also confused for a while: "The fourth prince has always regarded Boss Jun as a confidant, how could there be such a big change suddenly?" Even His Royal Highness said that the four princes were really responsible for their actions. ”

"I can't blame Your Highness, it's because I was negligent and didn't perceive Lian Song's intentions, and I only cared about my own anger, and I forgot that there were villains watching in the dark." Clenched his fists, a trace of coldness flashed in Jun Wunian's eyes, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, there are very few people who can help His Highness easily solve many difficult things in the previous dynasty, if it wasn't for Lian Song's intention to coax and coax, who else could there be?" His Royal Highness is still young and easy to be impetuous, and over the years I am afraid that he will be infected with those dirty habits of the previous dynasty and always restrict him in every way, thinking that His Highness feels that it is too hard to believe Lian Song's nonsense. ”

Yun Jiuzhong snorted coldly: "Heaven has a great responsibility, how can you do child's play easily?" Boss Jun can't bear to scold the four princes for being confused, and we others don't think there is anything taboo. If you want me to say, the fourth prince is really straightforward, but he is also a nerd who does not distinguish between friend and foe, and his relatives are unknown, and His Royal Highness took care of him in every way before, how did he repay him? Now Boss Jun has worked hard for the four princes, and finally ended up being alienated and abandoned. After all, isn't the fourth prince just a white-eyed wolf? ”

"General Yun......"

Feeling that Yun Jiuzhong's words were too heavy, but there was no suitable reason to refute it, Jun Wunian stood dumbfounded, stunned, not at all like the wise and strategic minister who made many enemies gnash their teeth.

Yun Jiuzhong didn't know what else to say next, so he pulled his tight neckline, and his face was helpless: "The matter has come to this point, and it's useless to discuss who scolds whom." A few days ago, the prince of Dingyuan sent a letter saying that there was an abnormality in the south of the Duo Kingdom, and it was suspected that someone in the court was secretly colluding with him to pass on the news, His Royal Highness and the prince of Chu were not in the imperial capital, and the fourth prince was ...... At this time, the task of judging the situation can only be handed over to you, Boss Jun, His Royal Highness means that no matter what, you must find a way to protect the four princes and princesses, and the royal family must not be cut off in this generation! ”
