I came to update early today, because I have a friend getting married, and at half past eight o'clock I will go over to help pick up the wedding car and take photos~~~~ Hehe~~~~~~

———————————————————————— this is the dividing line of the full moon————————————————

For the Great Liang Dynasty, the past year was a year of shocking changes. It begins with the bloody murder of the inner prison and ends with the Princes' Festival at the end of the year.

Although this is a relatively peaceful waste, and it is not accompanied by the sword and blood of the purge, the stability and balance of the court have been broken after all, and almost all the officials who have been branded as * believe that the purge that King Yu did not start was interrupted by the birth of King Jing, and once he was freed up, no one could escape the fate of standing on the wrong side.

So for these people, King Jing Xiao Jingyan is a life-saving straw. Even if he has made it clear that he will not form friends, he has no old hatred, and it is better to let this prince ascend the throne than King Yu.

King Jing, who is meticulous and rigorous at the festival, gives the impression of being tough and stable. Those courtiers who are tired of years of power struggles, are disappointed in the status quo of the court, and really want to do something practical for the country and the people, have also put their hopes on him to a greater or lesser extent.

These two types of courtiers together, the support force behind King Jing has actually been not weaker than King Yu, and more importantly, this force is in the shadows, and King Yu can't even go to the emperor to attack and say who is the party of King Jing as he did with the crown prince before.

King Yu, who was unable to make a move, had no choice but to bet most of his chips on Xia Jiang. Just as it was impossible for the courtiers of the prince's faction to turn to support him because of their old enmity, Xia Jiang, who single-handedly concocted the Chiyan case, would never sit idly by and watch King Jing move towards the supreme position.

To King Yu's good fortune, Xia Jiang did not disappoint him. The head of the Hanging Mirror Division, who has been immovable, seems to have strangled King Jing's death hole at first glance.

"But is Xia Jiang sure that King Jing will definitely take action?" In King Yu's Mansion, Qin Banruo couldn't help but ask, "Wei Zheng is a rebel after all, even if King Jing is stupid and hot-headed, Mei Changsu should find a way to stop him, right?" This is really an imbalance of pros and cons! ”

"To be honest, this king can't figure it out," King Yu shrugged, "but Xia Jiang seems to be very confident, he said that for some people, many things are in their bones and can't be erased." ”

"But Mei Changsu ......"

"This king also mentioned Mei Changsu to Xia Jiang, but he thinks that even if Mei Changsu has great ability, he is just a strategist, King Jing is not a person who will easily let strategists make decisions, and the Chiyan case is the deepest thorn in King Jing's heart, so Mei Changsu can't stop him this time." King Yu smiled maliciously, "If that Qilin genius opposes too fiercely, maybe it will become a reason for the two of them to fall out of harmony." Have you heard that on the first day of the new year, Mei Changsu went to Jingwang's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and it came out in less than a stick of incense. ”

"I hope so." Qin Panruo also reluctantly smiled and did not raise any more doubts. When the Chiyan case broke out, although she was still young, she had already begun to wake up. Of course she knew Xia Jiang's scheming and methods, but deep down, she still believed that the reason why she was able to bring down the Chiyan Shuai Mansion and King Qi back then, and the person who really manipulated the overall situation and planned was her master, the princess of the dead country who was unparalleled in her talent. For Xia Jiang after losing Princess Xuanji, a super-first-class think tank, Qin Panruo's confidence is not as good as that of King Yu.

But now Qin Banruo no longer dares to express his thoughts as unscrupulously as before. Under Jiang Zuomeng's counterattack, this talented woman, who was almost wiped out of all her strength, can now be regarded as the most ordinary strategist in the Yuwang Mansion. Aside from having a more beautiful appearance than the others, she no longer has any advantages, and she naturally has to be extra careful in her actions. What's more, the current King Yu is in a disadvantageous mood of irritability and anger, and he is not as lenient and indulgent as before.

"Yesterday, this king went to the Hanging Mirror Division to look at that Wei Zheng, as if his bones were very hard. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, Xia Jiang's limbs were locked, and his mouth was stuffed with a round sac, so this king couldn't talk to him. King Yu squinted his eyes and looked a little strange, "He is in this mortal situation, but when he stares at this king, he doesn't have the slightest fear and succumbs." These rebels are so crazy that they are simply incomprehensible. ”

Qin Panruo couldn't understand it either. But a woman usually can't have a bad feeling for such an iron-clad man, so she only slightly echoed "yes", and got up to add tea to King Yu.

"However, Xia Jiang was a little angry when he knew that I arrived at the Hanging Mirror Division," King Yu took the freshly poured hot tea and continued, "He doesn't like to let his three apprentices know about the connection between me and him, he is right about this, this king is wrong. ”

"Your Highness can be so brave to admit your mistakes and be good at changing your words, it is really a great gentleman's demeanor," Qin Panruo said with a smile, "The Hanging Mirror Division has always regarded not being involved in party disputes as an iron rule, and each Hanging Mirror Envoy is very independent, although Xia Jiang is the first, he can't blatantly do whatever he wants, if His Highness needs to pass on any information to Xia Jiang in the future, it is better to pass it through the fourth sister of Prajna." ”

King Yu glanced at her, his expression turned cold, and said, "Speaking of your fourth sister, what's going on?" Is she unwilling to serve the king? Every time she is asked to do something, she is hindered, if it weren't for Xia Jiang having an old friend with her and specifying that she should be the middleman, this king would have been unable to tolerate her presumptuousness. ”

was reprimanded by him, Qin Panruo's smile was a little stiff. When she begged the fourth sister to break through the Tong Road, she had already said that it was the last thing. Later, Tong Lu really did not escape the bone-winding love thread of Xuanji Gao's disciples, and fell into it, Qin Banruo pretended to use the life of the fourth sister to force Tong Lu to confide in the secret of Miaoyin Fang, but unfortunately he was one step slower and did not achieve great results. When she was disappointed, she unexpectedly found that the fourth sister also had true feelings for Tong Lu, so she had an idea, and after helping her succeed, she let Tong Lu and the fourth sister go away and fly away as a bargaining chip, inducing her senior sister to agree to contact Xia Jiang for her. But the promise under this kind of transaction is unreliable after all, and Qin Banruo's control over the fourth sister is far from being handy, so she has nothing to answer in the face of King Yu's dissatisfaction.

"Isn't your fourth sister very concerned about the country boy under Mei Changsu? The next time she misunderstands the king's affairs, she will cut off her lover's finger and show her, that kid is in our hands, what else can she do? ”

Qin Banruo understood that his fourth sister was gentle on the surface, but she was fierce and very temperamental when she was forced to the extreme, so she didn't dare to agree, so she could only persuade softly: "The fourth sister has a lot of wrongs, and Panruo understands." But Xia Jiang is suspicious, he can't trust other people, no matter how bad my fourth sister is, after all, she is an old person, even if she withdraws in the future, she will definitely not betray us, please forgive her generously. ”

"You and Xia Jiang can trust her, what does this king have to say." King Yu is well versed in manipulating people, and slowly slowed down his tone, "You can persuade her when you are free, let her know some current affairs." ”

"Yes." Qin Panruo lowered his head and responded softly. Seeing the dark clouds on her cheeks slipping down, and the delicate appearance of her eyelashes hanging down, King Yu couldn't help but be moved, approached the past, and smelled a burst of fragrance, and stretched out his hand, he had already wrapped her slender waist into his arms.

Qin Panruo didn't struggle. This was not to say that she was going to obey King Yu now, but because before she could struggle, a warm voice came from outside the house.

"Your Highness, may I come in?"

King Yu frowned, let go of Qin Panruo in his arms, straightened his clothes slightly, and said, "Come in." ”

The wooden door of the carved brocade was slowly pushed open, and Princess Yu walked in lightly, and when she saw Qin Panruo, she immediately showed a soft smile like usual: "Miss Qin is also there?" ”

"I've seen the princess." Qin Panruo hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and as soon as he bent his knees, he was helped up.

"You and my sister, why do you want to see the outside like this?" Princess Yu smiled politely, and then turned to King Yu, "I didn't know that His Royal Highness was discussing things with Miss Qin in the study, and he came without sending someone to ask for permission, please don't be surprised." ”

"What do you say," King Yu reproached, "you are the princess, you can come to my study whenever you want, and you can ask for permission in advance wherever you want." Besides, I didn't talk about anything important with Miss Qin. ”

Qin Panruo immediately said with interest: "Yes, it's almost over." If you retire first, please forgive the princess. ”

Princess Yu smiled with a spring breeze on her face, and politely and thoughtfully sent Qin Banruo out, then turned around and sat next to King Yu.

"How's it going in the palace?" King Yu asked.

"Listening to the queen's mother, Concubine Jing is still a holy favor, and the gifts she received at the annual banquet are the highest among the concubines. However, King Jing has not entered the palace once in the past few days after entering the palace for the New Year's ceremony, for some reason. “

"Could it be...... He's really busy planning something...... King Yu said to himself, "It's so urgent, can't you even bear the big year?" ”

"There's another big thing." Princess Yu approached her husband's ear and whispered, "The queen mother got a secret report that Concubine Jing had privately set up a tablet for the late Concubine Chen in her small room in the Buddhist hall, and she always paid tribute. ”

"What?!" King Yu jumped up suddenly, first stunned, and when he fully reacted, he immediately began to rub his hands excitedly, "This is a big handle!" Concubine Jing really killed herself! She is now the most important help of King Jing, as soon as she falls, King Jing will be greatly injured, and there is no need to worry about it anymore! How did the queen deal with it? ”

"The queen mother knew that the matter was serious, and she didn't dare to be rash, for fear of startling the snake, and waiting for the right time in the next few days, so as to hit with one blow."

"Good! Good! King Yu was overjoyed, and went back and forth in the house a few times, "The queen's means are not to worry, I think Concubine Jing will shed her skin if she doesn't die this time." This woman is just like her son, so stupid! ”

Princess Yu looked at her husband so happy, swept away the gloom of the past few days, and then smiled, stood up and said: "I think in the near future, there will be good news, Your Highness, please rest easy, this year, I have to meet many guests, and the elders of the uncle have to walk around, the snow outside has long stopped, I will arrange a car for His Highness, right?" ”

"You are really my virtuous helper," King Yu pulled her into his arms and hugged her, rubbing her smooth cheeks affectionately, and laughed, "When you become a queen in the future, I promise that no concubine's grace will overpower you." ”

The smile that Princess Yu had been hanging on her lips suddenly disappeared, and her expression turned sad in a place that King Yu couldn't see, she reached out and hugged her husband tightly, and murmured: "What Your Highness said today, you must remember it in the future......"

"Of course." As soon as he let go of Princess Yu, he hurriedly walked out, preparing to walk around to celebrate the New Year, and at the same time said that he was still in high spirits and was not suppressed by King Jing's sparrows.

The snow that had begun to fall since the third day of the new year had really stopped, and when King Yu's specially made four-wheeled canopy and yellow-tasseled carriage walked on the wide avenue of the capital, the golden sunlight illuminated the luxurious saddle around the horse, which was very eye-catching. It's a pity that there are so few people on both sides of the street who pay attention to this royal guard of honor that it is a little strange for King Yu.

But he soon understood where the strange root was.

Patrol battalions, which had always been only responsible for guarding the city gates, and would only intervene in local security in times of emergency, were now full of streets. Not only did they set up checkpoints on all the main transportation arteries in the capital, but they also patrolled everywhere in teams of stubborn and stubborn troops, and they even increased their troops outside the important prefectures and government offices, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The suspicious King Yu was just about to send someone to inquire what had happened, when one of his deacons, who was in charge of monitoring and controlling all kinds of news in the capital, had rushed over and reported to him in detail.

It turned out that there were a number of thieves who were in the foreign state capital to sneak into the capital during the New Year's Festival, and last night they broke into several high-ranking officials' mansions to steal treasures, and even the night country tribute fire phoenix beads stored in the Baoguang Pavilion were also stolen, and the emperor was furious after hearing the letter in the morning, thinking that the patrol battalion responsible for the night curfew was derelict in his duties, and immediately called King Jing to scold him, and King Jing also calmly admitted his mistake, saying that he would do his best to strictly investigate, so as to catch the prisoners and recover the lost treasures, so there is now all the patrol officers and soldiers pouring out of the nest, and the city is under martial law. It is said that Emperor Liang was very satisfied with King Jing's vigorous and resolute style.

Although King Yu's car was not on the patrol list, he was under the supervision of the patrol battalion all the way, which made the prince very uncomfortable. But after all, he was an extremely cunning and keen person, and after only walking a few clan mansions, he noticed that the patrol battalion that seemed to be full of flowers in the city was actually the most heavily armed in a certain area.

That's where the Hanging Mirror Division's yamen is located.

After discovering this, King Yu felt as if something was rising from his stomach, a little excited, and a little restless.

Xia Jiang's expectations were not deviated, and King Jing was really ready to act. It is indeed a clever move to obtain Holy Permission to arrest a giant thief, so as to mobilize troops reasonably and compliantly, but it is a pity......

"You are Sun Xingzhi, and you can't escape my Five Finger Mountain." King Yu gritted his teeth and said this silently, his whole expression became cruel and abnormal, I don't know if he was cursing King Jing so hard, or if he was cheering up his empty heart.

At this moment, the crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at the intersection in front of him, which was particularly loud in this quiet street.

King Yu lifted the thick cotton curtain of the side window and looked out, only to see a solid horse with a brocade saddle galloping under the gaze of the officers and soldiers at the street entrance, and turned to the south. The knight on the horse was dressed in beautiful fashionable new clothes, embroidered with jade belts, dazzling and swaggering, and the whole person exuded a chic and elegant extravagance, and looked triumphantly comparable to an arrogant bee that had just picked flowers.

"It's this kid...... Unexpectedly, in the entire capital, he was the most calm and happy. Looking at Yan Yujin's distant back, King Yu, who was in a complicated mood, lowered the curtain and sighed softly.
