His Royal Highness King Qi?

His Royal Highness King Qi, who has been traveling abroad for many years, has returned? For a while, the people in the capital expressed their surprise, especially some old ministers, His Royal Highness King Qi is the son of the first emperor, they have not forgotten, during this time, the call for the crown prince is very high, and they often think of His Royal Highness King Qi, the rightful heir designated by the first emperor.

At first, when Emperor Yongqing intended to set up Zhao Tianlin as the crown prince, many old ministers also proposed the name of His Royal Highness King Qi, to establish the crown prince, shouldn't Zhao Tianqi be the most orthodox candidate?

It's just that at this time, at that time, King Qi was not there at that time, and no one knew if he died outside, and now, King Qi has returned to Beijing, does that mean that King Qi has returned to Beijing, then this Dayue prince will fall on his head?

But no one is a fool, Emperor Yongqing has been in power for many years, and he must hope that his son will succeed to the throne in the future.

"Yun Shizi."

As soon as Yun Jin and Xie Qing arrived at the gate of the palace, they got off the carriage and saw someone coming to say hello.

Yun Jin looked back and nodded slightly: "Elder Xu Ge." ”

The person who came was Xu Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao said with a smile: "In the past, Yun Shizi rarely participated in palace banquets, but today he is here. ”

In fact, as soon as Xu Ge heard that King Qi had returned to Beijing, he sent someone to inquire about the matter, and on the day King Qi entered the palace, Yun Shizi and his wife also entered the palace.

Yun Jin smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty specially ordered someone to send a post, how could this son not come?" ”

Xu Ge's old brows furrowed slightly, didn't His Majesty send you a post from the palace banquet in the past?

"The old minister heard that Yun Shizi has seen His Royal Highness King Qi?" Xu Ge Lao's words were mixed with a hint of meaning.

Yun Jin nodded and chuckled, "Elder Xu Ge wants to ask His Royal Highness King Qi how it is?" ”

Elder Xu Ge smiled and said, "Let Yun Shizi laugh, His Royal Highness King Qi is the bloodline of the first emperor, and a courtier should not have said this, but ......"

"Pavilion always thinks that His Royal Highness King Qi has been traveling abroad all these years, and he doesn't know what his talent and appearance are, right?" Yun Jin's eyebrows rose slightly.

"Those who know the old ministers, the son of the world." Xu Ge Lao twisted his beard and said with a smile.

Yun Jin smiled slightly, and said: "This prince has only met once, and he doesn't know anything about His Royal Highness King Qi, if you want to know, you might as well talk to him." ”

After speaking, Yun Jin took Xie Qing's hand and smiled at Xu Ge Lao: "Ge Lao, this son has taken the first step. ”

Xu Ge's old brows furrowed tightly, Yun Shizi didn't say anything. His eyes fell on the hands of Yun Jin and Xie Qing, and he suddenly had an idea, and called his granddaughter Xu Qingyan: "Yan Yan, you will find an opportunity to talk to the princess of Zhennan in a while." ”

"Yes, Grandpa." Xu Qingyan is Xu Gelao's favorite granddaughter, she is not very old, but she is clever and likes Xu Gelao.

……

At the palace banquet

Zhao Tianlin arrived early, restless, for no other reason, Emperor Yongqing specially instructed him to do one thing yesterday - to set King Qi's tone.

He was nervous, this was the first time that Emperor Yongqing had arranged things for him since he lost power. This time, he must seize the opportunity and fulfill his father's order.

After a while, I saw Zhao Tianqi walking into the hall with Meng Feiyan, Zhao Tianqi was still dressed in a dark robe, calm and atmospheric, and naturally had a noble state.

At this time, Yun Jin and Xie Qing also walked in together, which was really a coincidence, but it was not the case in the eyes of some people.

I saw a few people salute, and then Xie Qing took Princess Qi to the female family, and King Qi walked over with Yun Jin.

Zhao Tianlin felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he looked at Yunjin and his wife talking and laughing with King Qi, thinking of Emperor Yongqing's words, he felt more and more that they were familiar with each other.

No wonder, when Yun Zhixu was not expelled from the palace, he and Yun Jin were in-laws, but Yun Jin didn't mean to help him at all, he always used his hot face and cold butt.

"Brother Qi, I heard that you have been traveling all these years, I don't know where you have been?" Zhao Tianlin said hello and couldn't wait to ask.

This is what Emperor Yongqing has explained, and he must find out his tone.

Zhao Tianqi smiled lightly and said, "Tianlin is very interested in where this king went?" ”

did not answer his question, but turned to ask Zhao Tianlin. Zhao Tianlin's gaze has always fallen on Zhao Tianqi's face, and it seems that he is reluctant to say it.

Zhao Tianlin said in his heart: If you don't want to say it, then I'll keep asking, I see if you can hold on to how long?

"yes, what? Brother Qi Wang is reluctant to say? Could it be that there is something unspeakable? Zhao Tianlin's words were tingling.

Yun Jin was drinking tea with his head down, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Zhao Tianlin, who was talking in a tone and in a woman's style. Zhao Tianlin's hostility towards Zhao Tianqi was thought to be the order of the one on the dragon chair.

Yun Jin couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, didn't Emperor Yongqing know what kind of virtue his son was?

Zhao Tianlin's eyes kept falling on Zhao Tianqi, but he didn't notice Yun Jin's expression. His eyes widened, not missing the slightest change in Zhao Tianqi's expression, his father said, today's palace banquet, he doesn't need to do anything else, the most important thing is to pay attention to Zhao Tianqi's every move, and even his expression should not be missed.

I saw Zhao Tianqi smile lightly and said, "Where is there anything unspeakable, Tianlin, where do you want to go." ”

"Over the years, this king has traveled abroad, to a lot of places, before his father died, he once said that there is a wish, I want to go again from the mountains to the imperial city of the place, so this king on his behalf to fulfill this wish."

The father emperor in Zhao Tianqi's mouth is, of course, referring to the first emperor, the founder of Dayue.

Referring to the first emperor and the fact that he fought all the way from the mountains to the imperial city, many old ministers sighed when they heard it, it was really not easy to lay down the Dayue River, and how many of their companions died in the middle of the way......

Zhao Tianlin's face turned black in an instant, he was asking Zhao Tianqi's whereabouts over the years, how could these old ministers miss the first emperor.

Even if Zhao Tianlin is stupid, he also knows that the current emperor is his father Emperor Yongqing, not the first emperor, Zhao Tianqi mentioned the first emperor at this time, obviously to arouse the memory of these old ministers to the first emperor, and even remind them of the first emperor's dying testament about the throne.

Zhao Tianlin felt that he was making wedding dresses for others, and suddenly felt that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Brother Qi is back, today is a happy day, why does Brother Qi think of the first emperor." Zhao Tianyi walked over and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell Brother Qi about any strange things you have encountered during your travels?" This king has heard a lot of strange things among the people, bizarre but real. ”

Zhao Tianyi secretly scolded Zhao Tianlin for being useless in his heart, Emperor Yongqing not only instructed Zhao Tianlin, but also instructed Zhao Tianyi to test Zhao Tianqi well.

Emperor Yongqing suspected that Zhao Tianqi had been in the capital all along, waiting for an opportunity, and any travel was a lie.

Even if it is a trip, it will create a feeling for everyone that King Qi is out swimming in the mountains and rivers and is not doing his job.

What a strange thing, but it is just imperceptibly, King Qi is traveling abroad, all for fun.

"Tianyi said that he laughed, what strange things are just jokes you heard." Zhao Tianqi said with a light smile, "Tianyi, you are in the palace all the year round, and your range of activities is small, so you always feel that it is novel outside." ”

Zhao Tianyi's face froze, Zhao Tianqi not only did not have a plan, but on the other hand, he Zhao Tianyi was in the capital all the year round, and his knowledge was too small.

Brother Qi Wang laughed...... "Zhao Tianyi is like swallowing fly feces."

"Different places have different customs, and most of the anecdotes are just stories that live in rumors. Those places far away from the capital, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and in some places, a small county is almost to the point of being the king and hegemonic. Zhao Tianqi sighed lightly.

Xu Ge Lao reflected the fastest and blurted out: "Has His Royal Highness King Qi been to Minzhou?" ”

Zhao Tianqi nodded: "What Xu Ge wants to say is that three years ago, a small magistrate county in Minzhou, less than two years after taking office, collected nearly 100,000 taels of gold from the people's fat and people's ointment, right?" ”

"Could it be that the whistleblower at that time was His Royal Highness King Qi?" Elder Xu Ge asked.

"Yes, it's indeed the king." Zhao Tianqi said.

Xu Ge said with a smile: "At that time, the old minister who submitted the pleadings in Minzhou has read it, it is clear, concise and clear, all the evidence and physical evidence are complete, and there is no difference, the old minister was still thinking about who this whistleblower was?" But I didn't want it to be His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

Zhao Tianqi smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence, this king happened to go to Minzhou, and he happened to bump into Nazhi County doing evil, so he reported him." ”

"Why didn't Brother Qi reveal his identity directly at that time?" Zhao Tianyi asked, "Why bother so much, and report to your superiors, if you directly reveal your identity at that time, wouldn't you be able to deal with that corrupt official faster?" The sooner you deal with it, the sooner you get rid of the harm, isn't it? ”

The implication is that Zhao Tianqi made such a big detour, which was simply a delay in time.

"Indeed, if you encounter such a thing in the capital, you can take people down directly in the name of King Qi, but it is in Minzhou, a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and the identity of a prince is probably not as effective as the local prefect." Zhao Tianqi said lightly.

Actually, from the death of the first emperor. Emperor Yongqing's ascension to the throne should be, and King Qi is already a false title with an empty name. Zhao Tianqi didn't say this reason, but all kinds of meanings, how can the ministers who are like people not understand.

Zhao Tianyi was bored, and Zhao Tianlin was flushed, he was afraid that Zhao Tianqi would talk about Jingzhou, so he simply lowered his head and didn't squeak, reducing his sense of existence.

However, Xu Ge and other courtiers have a very good impression of Zhao Tianqi, Zhao Tianqi is calm, has a good conversation, and has the style of a gentleman.

On the other hand, Xie Qing and Meng Feiyan introduced the nobles in Beijing, Meng Feiyan had done her homework earlier, and she only needed Xie Qing to mention it, and she would understand.

"The little girl Xu Qingyan has seen Princess Qi and Princess Shizi." Xu Qingyan curtsied at the two.

Xie Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Princess, this little girl is the little granddaughter of Xu Ge's hometown." ”
