Jian Huaizhen groaned slightly and said: "You can start early tomorrow morning, the morning is cool, the road is long, and one more trip is a journey." ”

When the saber minister heard Jian Huaizhen's words, he began to say: "What the eldest princess said is that it is quite beneficial to go on the road earlier, and those thieves who cut the path are estimated to not be able to get up so early, and if we cause less trouble, we will not be delayed on the road, and we can get to the capital earlier." ”

Jian Huaizhen felt that this saber minister was Huazhong's words, and knew that this person still wanted to find out if he would encounter this kind of half-way interception Luan driving on the road today, so that it alarmed the holy driver.

Today, after two battles in a row, Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that the brocade guards and the royal forest army that came out of the palace were not the opponents of the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes at all.

Seeing that his brother had died so much, Sabre Da was also a little chilled.

Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but have such a question in his heart, this person came to him today to ask about this matter, whether it was to inquire if there were other Jianghu sects on the way back to Beijing staring at Luan.

"What you said is good, but I don't know about tomorrow's affairs, and there is no need to be suspicious, even if there are people in the rivers and lakes waiting for the emperor's Luan to drive the book in front of them, there is no need to worry too much, and there are enough people to protect the emperor at the moment. Even if there is an extremely powerful character who wants to be unfavorable to the emperor, it is enough to deal with it with the current manpower. Jian Huaizhen spoke.

"Of course, as long as the eldest princess is here, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he can't help but give the eldest princess a face, not to mention that the eldest princess has so many friends around her, all of them are unique, with them on her side, the emperor can be safe." The saber minister hurriedly said to Jian Huaizhen.

"Well, since you also know about this, why worry too much about whether there will be such a thing on the way back to Beijing, or go back quickly and take a good rest, and you have to hurry tomorrow." Jian Huaizhen said to the saber minister.

"Yes, yes, the eldest princess said that it is not bad at all, so please ask the eldest princess to rest early. The lower official retired first, and came back to Feng'an tomorrow. The Saber Minister said politely.

"Okay, that's it, you can rest sooner." Jian Huaizhen commanded.

"The lower officials will first go and check how the sentry arranged for the emperor is." The Saber Minister spoke.

Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "This is a big deal, you can't be sloppy, do you want this princess to let people go with you." ”

"You don't have to bother the princess with such trivial matters, the next official will take care of it." After speaking, the saber minister bowed to Jian Huaizhen, and then withdrew away.

Jian Huaizhen didn't quite understand why this saber minister was so attentive today, and thought about it slightly, and then figured out about it.

Thinking that the saber minister saw that the martial arts of the people under his command were so high, he couldn't help but be afraid of himself, so he would beg for good, maybe this person also wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with himself, so as to consolidate his position in the palace.

Thinking of this in his heart, Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Over the years, he has been living in seclusion in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are already many people who have not taken care of the affairs of the palace.

If this is the case, if someone is attached to him, Jian Huaizhen feels that it is too ridiculous.

However, Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that this saber minister was also a smart person, and smart people naturally wouldn't do anything stupid. But even if smart people don't do stupid things, they are too clever and tend to be inflammatory.

Thinking about it like this, Jian Huaizhen planned to ignore this matter for now, and it would not be too late to deal with it after knowing what the saber minister had in mind in the future.

After Jian Huaizhen thought about this matter in his heart, he didn't feel anything about it.

Early the next morning, after Jian Huaizhen got up and freshened up, he went to meet Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen looked quite good today, because he heard the saber minister under his command say that the most powerful masters of the Jianghu sect had already been repelled by Jian Huaizhen's people.

In this way, there will be no worries.

Zhu Qizhen naturally understands this truth, he knows in his heart that his head will never be harder than the knife in the hands of those high-rollers, if he really lets those Jianghu men hijack him, not only is it a big talk to wear it out, even if it is not spread, it is not necessarily a good thing.

"The emperor looks good today." Jian Huaizhen stared at Zhu Qizhen for a moment, and then spoke.

That's not it, it's just that I slept relatively well last night, and no one came to disturb me.

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen fixed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, if someone wants to disturb you, you must also think carefully about your own weight." ”

"Reasonable, that's very reasonable." Zhu Qizhen was extremely happy.

"Your Majesty, after today's departure, the trip may be faster, but even so, for the emperor, there is still no big problem, and Dingduo means that the chariot moves slower.

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen naturally had nothing else to say, and then asked without words: "After leaving today, will yesterday's incident still happen." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, and didn't know if the saber minister had informed the emperor of what he and he had said last night, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Back to the emperor, according to the news created by the confession gate and the candle shadow shaking red in the past few days, the current situation is quite calm, and there are no bad people who want to disturb the holy driver. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen was naturally a little overjoyed, thinking that there were three assassin attacks in one day yesterday, and Zhu Qizhen felt that during the return journey of the Jingshi, he was afraid that such a thing would be inevitable along the way.

But after listening to Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and he knew very well in his heart that Jian Huaizhen had used all the forces in the rivers and lakes in order to protect his Luanjialu, and if even the largest force in the rivers and lakes could not detect a little rumor, then it seemed that the road back to Beijing was much smoother, and there would not be as dangerous as yesterday.

"I feel that the world is so big, and there are countless people in Lishu, as long as I can love the people like a son, I believe that the people of the world will also regard me as their parents." Zhu Qizhen seemed to have a feeling, and said such a thing to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen was a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly showed a pleased smile on his face and said: "The words of the true emperor, the emperor is worthy of being the son of the Holy Heaven, and the words that this water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat are comparable to Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhu Qizhen was extremely happy when he saw Jian Huaizhen comparing him with Li Shimin, a generation of Ming monarchs, so he spoke: "After yesterday's incident, I feel that it was really my fault that I wronged Lord Yu Qian at that time, but people cannot be resurrected after death, and they can only make amends in other things in the future. I hope that Lord Yu Qian's soul in the sky can learn from my painstaking efforts. ”

Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, although he didn't know why Zhu Qizhen suddenly had such a feeling today, but when he heard Zhu Qizhen say that he was determined to do something for Yu Qian, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"If Lord Yu Qian is a spirit in the sky, he will feel relieved to hear the words of the emperor today." Jian Huaizhen said to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and his heart also felt light.

"As you Aiqing said, I also feel that Yu Qian should understand me." Zhu Qizhen nodded and said.

At this time, the saber minister hurriedly walked inside from the outside and asked the two of them: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, if you don't leave now, should Luan Jia leave?" ”

Hearing the saber minister's question, Zhu Qizhen turned his face to look at Jian Huaizhen and said, "What does Aiqing think of this matter." ”

Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it's also a good thing to set off earlier today, it's not very quiet along the way, and it may be possible to avoid a lot of unwarranted troubles by leaving early." ”

Zhu Qizhen understood in his heart that Jian Huaizhen's words meant something else, so he opened his mouth and said: "Since Aiqing means this, then do so, immediately order, set off immediately, and return to Beijing." ”

"Wechen obeys the order, Wechen will arrange it immediately." The Saber Minister said in a respectful voice.

In fact, the Sabre Minister had already arranged it.

Zhu Qizhen and Jian Huaizhen had a conversation, and the saber minister came in and asked the emperor to go out and get into the chariot.

When the emperor heard this, he came out with the saber minister, and then stepped on the chariot, and the saber minister lowered the door curtain, and then the party set off in a majestic manner.

The news of the confession door and the candle shadow shaking red is really extremely accurate.

Only after letting the three waves of forces attacking the emperor retreat in difficulty, the group traveled in a roundabout way, over the mountains and mountains, but did not encounter any gangsters who intercepted them halfway.

After a few days, seeing that the capital was in sight, the saber minister was very happy, this errand was extremely tricky, and now he did not mess it up in his own hands, and when he arrived in Beijing, the emperor would definitely be rewarded.

For this reason, the Sabre Minister asked his Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army to speed up their journey, hoping to reach the capital as soon as possible.

Many of the Imperial Guards and the Brocade Guards thought the same way, so the Sabre Minister gave the order and all of them sped up their steps.

At nightfall, he entered the capital division and returned to the Forbidden City.

The sky was already dark, but the emperor was extremely pleased, because he was away this time, fortunately he was able to return safely with the help of Jian Huaizhen and others, so he asked people to arrange for Jian Huaizhen, Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng, Nangong Jiuzhong, Lan Jing and others to rest in the palace, and then ordered people to put up lanterns and set up banquets, and specially let the best imperial chef in the palace make many delicacies in the palace for them.

Seeing that the emperor had such an attitude, everyone had to obey, so they stayed in the palace to rest, and it was not long after.

The emperor ordered a group of people to be invited to the banquet.

The others felt that the emperor's hospitality was difficult, so they went to the banquet after a while.

In particular, some of the disciples of the Confession Sect and the Candle Shadow Shake Red had always heard that the food in the imperial dining room was the best delicacy in the world, and today they were overjoyed to hear that the emperor had set up a banquet to entertain them.

Some of his disciples rushed to the feast.

The emperor probably thought that there were many people, and that he was able to escape death this time, thanks to the desperate protection of some of the disciples of the confession door and the candle shadow shaking, so he gladly agreed and let them go to the banquet with him.

Hearing that the emperor had this kind will, even Jian Huaizhen felt a little incredible, and Zhu Qizhen's willingness to act like this showed that he was grateful to the confession door and the disciples who guarded him on the road.

But in any case, it was a good thing, so he took a group of people to the feast with joy.

When they arrived at the place where the banquet was set up, the disciples of the confessional sect with the red candle shadow were all very visionary, and the emperor set up a flowing water table, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies, which were simply dazzling.

After a while, the emperor came.

As soon as he arrived, Emperor Zhu Qizhen wanted to let Jian Huaizhen sit as the chief, but Jian Huaizhen refused, saying that he would not dare to be presumptuous no matter what.

The emperor had no choice but to speak: "Why should Aiqing be like this, I can return safely this time, it is not for you to support me, if I don't have such help, I am afraid that I will still stay in Nanjing and will not be able to come back here." Today's guests at the banquet, why can't Aiqing sit in the first seat, why can't Aiqing refuse? ”

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that you can't just excuse yourself, it's just that the system of respect and humility is closed, how dare you trespass." ”

Zhu Qizhen began to say: "No matter whether you are humble today, just have fun." ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Jian Huaizhen hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the court system is critical, how can you be so rash." Or the emperor sits on the first seat, and I will wait to accompany the last seat. ”

Zhu Qizhen saw that Jian Huaizhen insisted on not accepting it, so he had to say with a little helplessness: "Since this is the case, then forget it, Aiqing will be at the bottom of me." ”

These Zijian Huaizhen couldn't object, so he avoided the table and bowed to the emperor Zhu Qizhen and thanked him: "Thank you for the banquet." ”

As soon as Jian Huaizhen sat down, the rest of Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng, Nangong Jiuzhong, Lan Jing and the disciples of Yigan Confession and Candle Shadow also sat down according to their seniority.

When they were all together, the emperor made people play sheng and drums, singing and dancing and entertaining.

After three rounds of wine, the hall was happy for a while, and the guests and hosts were happy.

Suddenly, a famous eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, General Shi Heng and Gonggong Cao outside the door ask to see you." ”

Just after this time, the emperor didn't expect that these two people would come together, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Not only Zhu Qizhen was like this, Jian Huaizhen heard that Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang came together to ask to see the emperor, and his heart was also chuckled.

Shi Heng, a spy character, Nangong Mingfeng died at her hands, and for Jian Huaizhen, he hated this person very much in his heart.

However, this person launched a change to seize the door and supported the restoration of Yingzong, for the sake of Zhu Qizhen's face, Jian Huaizhen could not be embarrassed by him.

Jian Huaizhen wondered in his heart, what was the matter with these two people coming to the emperor together today.

It is said that there is nothing extremely important, and the two will never come to see the emperor together.

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Huaizhen still couldn't come up with a reason, so he had to give up.

"I know, you go down and ask the two of them to wait, and I will go and meet them both immediately." Emperor Zhu Qizhen waved his hand at the person who invited him to report the news and said.

Hearing the emperor's words, the person who came to report the news said respectfully: "The slave understands, so the slave will go down to talk to General Shi Heng and Gonggong Cao, and let the two of them wait in the palace now, waiting for the emperor to summon him." ”

"Well, you go down." Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

After the eunuch left, Zhu Qizhen turned his face to Jian Huaizhen and the others and said: "General Shi Heng and Gonggong Cao asked to see me, I'm afraid there is something important, I haven't been in the palace for so many days, and I don't know what the situation is. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard the emperor's words, and hurriedly stood up and said: "There is something in the saint, please go and handle it quickly, there is no need to greet me and wait." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, then stood up and turned to leave, and after changing his clothes, he was led by some eunuchs to see Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang.

"The emperor has worked hard this time." Shi Heng's eyes were sick, and as soon as he saw the emperor entering, he knelt down to say goodbye, and his face was extremely respectful.

Cao Jixiang also knelt down tremblingly and said: "When the emperor returned to the palace, the old slave failed to take over in time due to a serious illness, and asked the emperor for peace, which is really a crime that deserves death." After saying that, tears flowed.

Zhu Qizhen still liked the two great heroes who supported his reinstatement, so he said: "Shi Aiqing, Cao Aiqing, please hurry up, I am doing well now, there is nothing to do, why should you Aiqing be like this." ”

Cao Jixiang heard this, and also felt that his actions were a little too much, so he stopped crying and said: "During the emperor's trip, the old slave looked forward to the emperor's early return day and night, and later heard that the road was quite unpeaceful, and his heart was even more worried. ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly picked up Cao Jixiang and said: "Father-in-law Cao is sincere and loyal to me, how can I not know." Cao Aiqing, it's cold on the ground, you're also old, and your legs and feet are not good, so let's get up quickly. ”

Cao Jixiang was a little overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Old slave, thank you for your concern. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, then turned his head to General Shi Heng, who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Shi Aiqing, please also flatten." ”

Shi Heng was originally a little jealous of the emperor and stepped forward to help Cao Jixiang, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but when he heard that the emperor also let himself get up, he was also happy in his heart, he was quite treacherous, and after getting up from the ground, he went to help Cao Jixiang by the way.

Zhu Qizhen saw it in his eyes, felt that General Shi Heng was loyal, and felt comforted in his heart, and felt that it was extremely good that his subordinates could have such a character.

"What are the two of them coming to see me for?" After Zhu Qizhen flattened the two kneeling on the ground, he asked seemingly idlely.

Shi Heng stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is in charge of the security of the Jingshi, and I found that there have been many people from the rivers and lakes in the past few days, and I am afraid that the Jingshi will be quite unpeaceful. ”

On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Qizhen encountered several robberies and killings by people from the rivers and lakes, and he was extremely concerned about such incidents, and hurriedly said: "With such incidents, it is possible that these people from the rivers and lakes are not dying, and they dare to come to Beijing to make trouble." ”
