Different from the slight coolness of the mountain village, Yong Jingcheng is already cold and windy at the moment, and the breath exhaled casually can condense into a white mist, and they all dare to go out wearing fur coats, and the only remaining leaves in the yard are still frozen with ice crystals, which look shiny, but it also makes people feel a chill. Pen Fun Ω Pavilion.

At that time, the carriages had begun to enter and exit at the gate of the imperial city in the center of Yongjing, and the guards at the gate of the palace were still dutifully checking every carriage in the cold. The carriages were devoid of the splendor of summer, and were wrapped in thick fur and special cotton mattresses to keep them warm.

There was a long queue of officials' carriages at the palace gate, and at this time an extremely ordinary carriage slowly drove over, and drove through those convoys to the palace gate, and when they passed the guards, they saw that the thick curtains were lifted a little, and then the guards knelt down one after another, and sent the carriage into the palace. There was no inspection, no cross-examination, and it was just let go.

Many officials poked their heads out to look and expressed surprise when they saw the inconspicuous family crest on the carriage.

The coat of arms is a crescent-shaped, but there are some hollow patterns on it. The pattern is very complicated, but if you look closely, you will see a lotus flower.

The people of Yongjing City know this emblem - the family crest of Rui Wangfu, which is elegant and good-looking.

That's right, the carriage that drove into the palace belonged to the most favored prince of the Holy Heaven today, King Rui. Only he can enjoy the privilege of entering and leaving the palace without dismounting, without taking off his sword!

King Rui is coming to the court?

All the officials looked at each other, you must know that when King Rui returned to Beijing and learned that Marshal Hua's family was sentenced to betray the country for glory, and they were beheaded and had no power to return to heaven, they shook the face of the saint in front of the main hall in public, and walked away in front of everyone, and never entered the palace again!

Even the saint has been sick for many days, and King Rui has never entered the palace to take a look!

All the officials speculated whether this Rui King had fallen out with the Holy One, and they were even thinking about how to stand in line in order to keep their future glory and wealth!

Now that King Rui has entered the palace, he doesn't know what is going on, and all the officials are anxious, and they want to follow to see what is going on, and many people can't help but urge the guards at the door to check it quickly and let them go!

The morning light was faint, and in the Jinluan Hall, the dragon chair of the Ninety-Five Emperor was still empty, and there were already many officials standing on both sides of the hall. The little prince is impressively in the ranks. The emperor has not yet arrived, so there is some bustle in the main hall, and everyone has pushed and talked about what they have seen and heard in the past few days and shared news. However, there are two words in everyone's mouths - Rui Wang.

"I heard that King Rui entered the palace today, do you know what is the so-called matter?"

"I don't know, King Rui doesn't want to have a showdown with the saint this time, right? Which side will you stand on? ”

"Naturally, it's King Rui's side. All the people have done for so many years have been seen by the people," the official stroked his beard, his eyes were deep, "King Rui is brave, not only has outstanding political achievements, but also the god of war of my great qi, if King Rui sits in that position, it must be the destiny of heaven!" ”

That official was a soldier of the Ministry of War, who had been on the battlefield with King Rui to resist the powerful enemy Da Liao on the northwest border of Daqi, and had seen King Rui's use of soldiers like a god. If Marshal Hua Yaozong Hua is a fierce general, then King Rui is definitely born handsome!

The little prince at the front of the line listened to these conversations and couldn't help but worry about his imperial uncle. Now that the saint is suspicious, if these words reach the ears of the saint, I am afraid that the feelings of the two brothers will be divided, and when the time comes, the brothers will kill each other, which is not what he wants to see.

Just when he had his heart, a touch of graceful and luxurious bright purple appeared on the main hall, and King Rui stepped forward with unhurried steps, and there seemed to be a momentum around his body that kept all discussions out.

The little prince's eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly with joy: "Uncle Huang, why did you come to the court today!" ”

King Rui's cold eyes glanced at the little prince, today he was dressed differently than usual, wearing a yellow prince's mansion, wearing a feather crown, although his body was not high enough, but he looked energetic. King Rui patted the prince's shoulder with satisfaction, and replied lightly: "It's okay left and right, come and see." ”

"Then Uncle Huang, go to my palace to sit down after the next court, Uncle Huang hasn't been here for a long time!" The little prince's eyes were wide open, and they were full of hope.

King Rui thought for a while, and before he could answer, a person next to him interjected, "Why don't you go to my place and sit down, the house has made a lot of fresh dishes today, all of which are newly launched by Guanlanju, and I think Uncle Huang will like it." ”

Seeing that he was about to be cut off, the little prince was unhappy, but he still had a calm look on his face, as if he could accept whatever King Rui's answer was, but the hand that hung down at his side and was hidden in a wide sleeved robe betrayed his nervousness.

The man who spoke was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was also wearing a jade crown, and his facial features were much more obvious than those of the little prince, but he was a little less delicate than the little prince. The man was wearing a black official uniform, tall and long-handed, but he was still a head shorter than King Rui, and he was looking up at King Rui, his eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a deep meaning that people couldn't really see.

King Rui glanced at the man, and still said lightly: "Third prince, the emperor should come." With that, he walked up the half-height steps in the center of the main hall. There, under the dragon chair, there is also a golden silk nanmu chair carved with a four-clawed flying dragon. King Rui sat down on the chair, and his movements looked like there was some endless charm.

As soon as King Rui sat down, the little eunuch who heard the word shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Even if the third prince and the little prince are unwilling, they don't dare to be presumptuous at this moment. All the ministers lined up and stood up, knelt down towards the dragon chair, and shouted three times at the same time!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Exactly bright and bright into the main hall, the current Holy Qiyuan Emperor looked at the standing on the steps, in this hall is like standing out from the crowd of particularly eye-catching King Rui, his face is happy, he walked over and wanted to hold King Rui's hand, but was gently dodged by King Rui. Emperor Qiyuan was happy at this time, and he didn't care about King Rui's dodge, and said happily: "Why did Xiaomo come to the court today, it's freezing this day, why don't you rest in the house anymore?" But when you come to the court, the royal brother is very happy! ”

"Brother Huang is serious." King Rui didn't have the excitement of Emperor Qiyuan at all, and his tone was still cold, "The last dynasty is the duty of Weichen. ”

"Eh, how can you say that!" Emperor Qiyuan waved his hand a little dissatisfied, "I said that you don't need to call yourself a micro-minister, this will make your brother feel angry." And I also said, Xiaomo doesn't need to go to court every day, he can come whenever he wants, no one dares to say that this big unicorn is not yours! ”

Emperor Qiyuan didn't even call him "I" in front of King Rui, and with his words, it can be seen that Emperor Qiyuan's maintenance and love for King Rui's younger brother can be said to be spoiled. Fortunately, King Rui and Emperor Qiyuan have a blood relationship, and King Rui is like a man no matter how outstanding he looks, otherwise the people of the world will think that Emperor Qiyuan is a beloved woman!

King Rui did not answer, but swept his gaze away from the ministers who were still kneeling on the main hall, and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to discuss the matter. ”

Only then did Emperor Qiyuan come back to his senses from the joy of seeing King Rui, and let King Rui sit down on the chair that belonged to him, and then sat back on the dragon chair and waved his hand: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After the ministers stood up, Emperor Qiyuan hurriedly said: "There is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat." The tone was very eager, and he looked at King Rui as he spoke.

Just when the ministers looked at each other and pushed each other, the three princes walked to the center of the main hall, bowed to the ninety-five lord on the dragon chair, and said respectfully: "Enlighten the father, the son has something to do." ”

"Say!" Emperor Qiyuan was very impatient.

"Now that winter is approaching, but there are still many floods in the south, the sons and ministers should send people to the south for disaster relief for the imperial court, and at the same time send them materials, they can also appease their emotions and help their father stabilize the hearts of the people."

Emperor Qiyuan pondered for a moment and asked casually, "Who does the third child think is appropriate?" ”

The third prince took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the princes in the front row, and finally landed on one person.

The third prince spoke slowly and loudly: "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable!" ”

There are five princes in the saint today, the little prince is the fourth, and the eldest of the first three elder brothers has been crowned, but none of them have been knighted, but the emperor allowed them to go to the court to listen to the government, which can be regarded as a kind of promotion and love. The youngest fifth prince is only four years old now.

Of these five princes, only the little prince and the little prince are the queen's concubines.

The eldest prince was born to the emperor's favorite concubine Xiao when he was not on the throne. Xiao has a gentle personality and is not good at arguing with others, but this great prince is a competitive man who has to fight for everything.

The second prince and the third prince are compatriots, and their biological mother is a favorite concubine. This concubine Mi's mother family is a powerful official who worships a product, so Concubine Mi relies on these to be rampant and domineering in the harem, and she doesn't even take the queen in her eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother is still there, she can suppress Concubine Mi Guifei's vote, otherwise she will be lawless and dominate the harem.

However, although she was arrogant, she gave birth to two humble and polite sons. It's just that compared with the warmth of the third prince, the second prince seems to be much more indulgent, and he likes to contradict the third prince the most on weekdays.

Sure enough, as soon as the third prince proposed to let the little prince go on a southern tour on behalf of the saint, before the ministers could react, they were opposed, and naturally they were the eldest prince and the second prince.

The eldest prince stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Father and Emperor and his sons think it's inappropriate!" ”

The second prince followed closely, "Erchen also disapproved of the third brother's proposal. The prince is still young, how can he tour the south alone! ”

The third prince's face remained unchanged, still with a warm smile, and he asked rhetorically, "Was my father older than the crown prince when he wore the emperor on his southern tour?" Uncle Huang is already a world-renowned god of war at the age of the prince! Big brother and second brother, do you not believe in the power of the prince? ”

The words of the third prince can be said to be full of traps, and answering yes or no will attract micro-remarks. The depth of the scheming of the three princes can be seen!

The eldest prince's face was already dark, and he replied with silence.

However, the second prince smiled lightly, and his bright face burst out with a strange brilliance, "The third brother wants the prince to leave Beijing like this, do you have a plan?" As he spoke, he glanced at the three princes with a smile, and then looked at the two who were tall.

The words of the second prince made all the ministers frightened, and they were so frightened that they fell asleep. Regardless of whether the third prince plans to attack the crown prince on the way to the south, or the saint in the capital, it is a big crime to kill the head!

Some ministers looked at the angry expression of the third prince, and felt that this matter should not be as the second prince said, the third prince is famous for loving his younger brother, and he is indifferent to everything, and he should not be so rebellious.

However, some ministers looked into the eyes, and instead of looking at the three disputed princes, they fell on the prince who was standing silently. The crown prince is the queen's concubine, and it is also the emperor's own East Palace, if there is no mistake in the future, after the emperor drives the crane, the position of the ninety-five must be his. But what if, in the midst of this, there is an accident?

The southern tour is undoubtedly a test for the prince.

It's just that I don't know how the young prince will deal with this situation.

Moreover, the two people in the audience have not yet spoken, and it is up to the two to decide what to do with this matter.
