Chapter 52: Seeing Off

But King Yi's good mood was ruined in the early dynasty! I had worked hard for most of the night, and before I could hand over the recital I had written in the middle of the night about clearing up the bandits, the prince had already taken the lead in reporting the killing of a group of bandits by the Ice Imperial Gate last night.

At this time, the emperor appreciated the prince's decisiveness and handed over the matter of clearing the remaining bandits to the prince.

And although King Yi has a military department in hand, he only has a share deployed by the prince, and King Yi wanted to show favor to the prince, but it was in vain!

The prince even deployed the troops controlled by King Yi in front of the ministers, and King Yi could only obey again and again, as if the army was controlled by the prince.

And the crown prince's dispatch won the emperor's appreciation.

Because the bandits are all small groups of rebels, they send troops to suppress them with great fanfare, as if they are killing chickens with knives, and they waste manpower and financial resources by dispatching troops back and forth from the surrounding areas.

Therefore, the prince decided to send 5,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city into three teams to go to the cities around Yongcheng to clear out the bandits.

The forbidden army is an army that guards the imperial city, it is well-trained, flexible in combat, and many of them are highly skilled in martial arts, which is more than enough to deal with bandits.

There were as many as 100,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, and 5,000 were dispatched, which had no impact on the security of the imperial city.

The control of the forbidden army is also in the hands of King Yi, but in recent years, King Yi's financial difficulties have become more and more inadequate, and when the prince entered his own plan, Zhuo Yinfeng beat the side drum for the head of the household book.

The suppression of bandits by the forbidden army shows the emperor's concern for the comfort and well-being of the people, and the household department is willing to fully support it financially, so even the commander of the forbidden army has nothing to say.

And that's not all, the prince made a lot of remarks after getting the emperor's permission, ostensibly praising King Yi and saying how brave he was in the early years of Da Yu's battles around him, how good at strategy, if he let King Yi lead one of the forbidden troops to deal with the bandit leader, he will definitely be captured, and the prince will go out to fight for the people to suppress bandits, which is even more to show the grace of heaven.

The dignified prince was actually sent to clean up the bandits, and the loss and resentment in King Yi's heart can be imagined, but thinking of his big family, as well as Nansheng, who had only been married for several years, had to hide all the sighs in his heart.

If there is a last glimmer of hope, it is only the boundless promise of the man in black last night!

Under the Chaoyi King's feet are still fluttering, in the afternoon, although the weather is sunny today, there is sunshine through the heavy clouds, but it is a white piece of hairy sun, without half a minute of temperature.

As soon as I entered King Yi's mansion, I saw Princess Yi holding a small drum and teasing Nan Sheng under the corridor, Nan Sheng's immature children's voice was like a gentle hand, gently teasing King Yi's trembling heart.

Finally squeezed out a smile and was about to call, but behind him was a woman's voice crisply.

"Nansheng!"

Looking back, it was the fifth princess Yu Wenyi, wearing a goose yellow dress covered with a royal blue fur cloak.

The snow fox's supple wind fur rubbed Yuwenyi's face as white as frost and snow lazily in the breeze.

And next to her, Yu Wenyun, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, was like a magnolia in the wind, and there was a flute pinned to her waist.

"Why are you here?" The fifth princess is the sister of King Yi, and it is not surprising that she often walks around after giving the princess's mansion.

It's Yu Wenyun, he has always liked Fengyue, he is used to being rich and idle, he never gets involved in party disputes, and he rarely moves around for King Yi and the prince.

King Yi was surprised by his arrival.

"Fifth sister is here?" When Princess Yi heard the conversation here, she raised her head with a gentle and lovely smile, and even the white-thorny Mao Sun was almost dyed with warmth by her smile, "The seventh brother is also here, it's cold outside, why don't you go to the hall and talk!" ”

"The DPRK has spread all over the country, I'm so close, I came to see the second brother to see him off!" Yu Wenyi walked over, but his eyes were chasing the boy behind Princess Yi, and her gentle hand stretched out and her words were full of inexhaustible tenderness, "Nansheng!" Come to my aunt! ”

Nan Sheng's big dark eyes flashed, and he exhaled softly, "Auntie!" He had already thrown himself into the arms of the fifth princess.

"I met the fifth sister on the way home, and I heard about the second brother, so let's take a look!" Yu Wenyun smiled humbly and gave a respectful salute to Princess Yi.

"What's the matter?" Princess Yi was stunned when she heard this, and turned her head to look at King Yi, "Do you want to see him off?" Where are you going? ”

King Yi's face sank, and a sigh floated through his throat: "It's cold outside, let's go to the hall and talk!" ”

The weather was already very cold, the brazier had been burned in the hall, the purple sand tea stove was simmering with white gas, the three of them sat around the fireplace, and the servants brought pastries. The fifth princess couldn't bear to put down Nan Sheng in her arms, kissed her fiercely on her little face, and carefully peeled and fed Nan Sheng with the pastries, listening to their chat.

"It's almost the end of the year, and the New Year is coming, where are you going?" Princess Yi's face was sad, and her face turned a little pale.

"It's not the prince's brother yet!" Yu Wenyi glanced up at King Yi, his eyes were full of resentment, but he couldn't say it too directly in front of Yu Wenyun, so he had to suppress the resentment in his heart, "I said that I wanted the second brother to take a team of forbidden troops to exterminate the bandit leader!" ”

"Your news is quite good, it's only been a long time since you already knew!" King Yi seems to be getting more and more indistinct about his sister, her daughter should not ask about the court, but every time there is something in the court, her news always seems to be one step faster than others.

King Yi looked up at Yu Wenyun, who was looking down and tasting tea: "Do you also know?" ”

"Oh! I just found out! Compared with the complicated expressions between the eyebrows of the other people, Yu Wenyun was much more refreshing, "I just heard the fifth sister say it!" ”

King Yi said lukewarmly: "You have always been used to being idle, even my father thinks that you are of no use to Sheji, I thought you were also so interested in court affairs!" ”

"Second brother, is this reprimanding me?" Yu Wenyun held the cup and smiled awkwardly, and then said calmly: "But you also know that I don't know anything about court affairs, and I am even more dizzy when it comes to how to use people!" ”

Princess Yi's face suddenly became gloomy when she heard what they said, and her eyes were covered with a layer of tears, it happened that Nan Sheng was naughty, and knocked over the teacup, and the tea splashed the corners of the fifth princess's skirt, and hurriedly called the nurse to quickly take Nan Sheng down.

Everyone didn't speak, and Princess Yi's heart was as cold as sinking into ice water: "Can you come back in the New Year?" In this New Year, the family is reunited, but this year, the Yi Wangfu can't be reunited! ”

King Yi stroked the princess's hand and comforted his wife and himself: "Try your best!" Many soldiers and soldiers can't be reunited during the festival, and I, a prince, naturally have exceptions. ”

Princess Yi's eyes were even more sour when she heard this, and her eyes were red and she knew that she had lost her manners, so she simply said that she was going to find a piece of clothing for the fifth princess to change into and retreat.
