Fang Qingchen woke up the next day and asked Zhao Yonglie if he had made any gaffes when he was drunk, but Zhao Yonglie just grinned and didn't answer.

Fang Qingchen didn't ask anything more, but just convened the generals to discuss the matter. Although others returned to Beijing, they were unwilling to give the Qin army any opportunity to take advantage of, and made various contingency plans for all possible attacks by the Qin army, and told the generals not to lose an inch of land to the Qin people.

He also wrote letters to be taken to the generals of the garrisons all over the country. Most of the generals who held military power in the country were promoted by him, and everyone was greatly favored by him, and he repeatedly told him in his letters that no matter what happened in the DPRK, they should not use the army to do anything harmful to the country.

He smiled and comforted every general with a heavy face, walked around the whole army with a smile, laughed and gossiped with the foot soldiers, and then, the holy decree arrived.

He smiled and led everyone to take the order, and said with a smile, since he knew that he was dull and difficult to take on a big responsibility, since he was ordered to defend Xinjiang, he was restless day and night, and now he has to be recalled, he is relieved, and he deeply feels the grace of His Majesty.

Then, with a smile, he said goodbye to everyone, and did not stop for a moment to return to Beijing with the messenger.

Only half a day after he left, the general Zhao Yonglie rode alone and chased all the way. It was a capital crime for the generals to leave the army without a reason, but none of the generals in the army reported to the army, and no one sent an army to find out, and this matter was deliberately pressed down by everyone as if it had never happened.

Zhao Yonglie chased Fang Qingchen all the way into Beijing, but he didn't dare to chase too close, for fear that Fang Qingchen would be sensitive and found by him, so he had to follow from afar, and when he entered the city, there was no trace of Fang Qingchen. However, he knew that Fang Qingchen would definitely enter the palace to see him, so he was not in a hurry, and took the first step to find Ji Fei, the general of the Imperial Forest Army who had received Fang Qingchen's great favor.

"General Zhao, my authority has been restricted, and I really can't help you enter the inner city."

"Why, the Imperial Forest Army is the Son of Heaven Guard, doesn't your power allow people to enter and leave the imperial city freely?"

"However, I am the person who was promoted by Fang Hou, and Jingzhong urgently called the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard Battalion, so naturally it is impossible for me to take power again."

Zhao Yonglie's face changed greatly: "Why do you want to transfer the Imperial Forest Army Janissary Battalion, why don't you be in charge of management, they really want to attack the other party?" ”

Ji Fei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not that the other party Hou will do it, just in case, they want to relieve Fang Hou of his military power, remove him from the post of commander-in-chief of the three armies, and don't let him manage the forbidden army of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital anymore, I am afraid that Fang Hou will turn his face, so I ambushed some soldiers and horses in the palace, just in case." As long as Fang Hou doesn't do it, the emperor won't let anyone do it. ”

Zhao Yonglie was full of anger: "Ambush the heroes with secret soldiers, this emperor ......"

Ji Fei sighed: "The emperor still remembers the affection of Fang Hou, and repeatedly refuses, but the queen mother, the prince, the princess, and hundreds of officials jointly persuade each other before agreeing, and repeatedly admonishing him, unless he personally orders, no one is allowed to show up, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

Zhao Yonglie sneered: "Should I thank the emperor for Longen?" ”

Ji Fei smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Zhao Yonglie snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

Ji Fei shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

"If you don't help me, I'll figure it out myself."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Passing through the palace gates, entering the deep and deep palace, which seems to have no end, step by step on the high steps, and go to the glorious palace. The chief eunuch Zhao Bao respectfully blocked Fang Qingchen's way in front of the palace.

"Fang Hou, today is the great dynasty, all the royal families, and hundreds of officials in the court are there, so it is not appropriate to enter with a sword."

Fang Qingchen smiled and untied his sword.

As if it was a long time ago, the immature child shouted loudly in a childlike voice: "Qingchen, you can go to the temple with a sword, you can see the king or not worship, what those old men say, don't pay attention to them, I know that you will never hurt me." ”

Fang Qingchen smiled softly, yes, Your Majesty, Ruohong, I will never hurt you, if you don't hurt me.

Coming in this way, how many people crouched in the corners of the corridor, under the pillars, behind the stones, beside the trees, and in the depths of the temple, how many warriors would be lurking? Ruohong, you forgot, whether it is the forbidden army or the Royal Forest Army, I have trained to protect you, how can their traces be hidden from me.

Such a big battle is really too much to look up to our light dust.

Stepping into the court, how brilliant, how solemn, how many people stood on both sides, he didn't care, his eyes only stared straight ahead, the young man with a little weakness, a little expectation, but strong excitement.

"Light dust, you'll never leave me, will you?"

"Qingchen, I will never live up to you."

"Qingchen, as long as you are by my side, I can not care about everything in this world."

"Light dust, light dust ......"

"Light Dust ......"

The call of the past, the laughter of the past, are gone, the innocent child has grown up, and the child who had only his arms to rely on has become a real king.

Fang Qingchen stood still in the hall, smiled and bent down to salute: "I've seen the emperor." ”

There were low voices of discussion all around, and there were countless dissatisfied eyes, but he didn't know what he was doing. His sword has been removed, but his privilege not to kneel has not been abolished by an edict.

Chu Ruohong obviously didn't intend to care about this matter, and said with a smile: "Qingchen doesn't have to be polite. He was almost a little greedy and looked at Fang Qingchen, he hadn't seen him for so long, Qingchen was haggard, of course the life at the border was not easy, and it was right to call him back.

"Qingchen, when you go back to Beijing this time, don't leave again, you are not in Beijing, I miss it day and night, I am always restless, and the affairs of the border pass will be handed over to other generals."

Fang Qingchen's eyes flashed slightly: "Your Majesty, the war in the border city is about to break out, and the ministers should not stay away for too long." He also asked the emperor to return to the army. ”

Chu Ruohong frowned slightly, and before he could speak, the Taishi Fang Zhi on the side had already said coldly: "Could it be that in my Great Chu Country, except for Fang Hou, there are no generals who can resist the enemy?" ”

Chu Ruohong felt slightly uneasy in his heart, but he had never refuted Fang Qingchen's words, and at this time he didn't know how to refuse Fang Qingchen, although he felt that others were not polite, but at least it could be used to keep Fang Qingchen, so he didn't turn his face and scold everyone as he did in the past, whenever someone was rude to the other party, he immediately turned his face and scolded, but was silent.

Fang Qingchen smiled faintly: "Taishi's words are serious, but none of the famous handsome generals of the Qin State can be underestimated, if I can be in the army, there will always be some help." ”

"Does Fang Hou regard the other generals of our Chu State as wine bags and rice bags?"

"Does Fang Hou think that without you, the Great Chu Kingdom will definitely be defeated?"

The courtiers present, you said a word, and I said a word.

Fang Qingchen just smiled, listening to everyone's discussions, smiling, staring at the tall boy. If it was at the beginning, how could he allow others to humiliate himself like this, and now, he has learned to watch the courtiers fight with such a detached and cold eye.

Chu Ruohong couldn't listen to it after all, gritted his teeth and spoke, and said earnestly: "Qingchen, I miss you, stay." ”

Fang Qingchen was finally moved, and looked at him deeply: "Does the emperor want Weichen to stay and continue to be in charge of the forbidden army?" ”

Chu Ruohong was stunned and couldn't answer. He didn't think about setting aside Fang Qingchen, he didn't think about throwing him into idleness, and he wanted to treat him favorably wholeheartedly, but after seizing his military power, let him control the army in the capital and control the safety of the Son of Heaven, is this appropriate?

But what reason does he have to take away the rights that originally belonged to Fang Qingchen.

"Since the ascendion to the throne of the Holy Shang, the forbidden army has been in charge of Fang Hou, and now that Fang Hou has returned to Beijing, he should be back in charge of the forbidden army, but there is one thing, I hope Fang Hou can explain it." Dali Siqing slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Our spies have brought back something from Qin, Fang Hou may be interested in taking a look." ”

Fang Qingchen took it and glanced at it lightly, sure enough, it was his handwriting, and the content was very simple, direct, nothing more than discussing with the emperor of the Qin State about the betrayal of the Chu State, it was really a clumsy and ridiculous trick. Whether the Manchu Dynasty civil and military really can't see it, or if they see it, they just treat it as ignorant and bully the emperor when he is young and shallow, so he attacks in groups.

It's just, Your Majesty, can't you really see it?

If you don't want to, I'll leave.

Fang Qingchen smiled miserably in his heart, raised his head, and his eyes were still gentle: "The emperor also thinks that this letter is true?" ”

Such gentle eyes made Chu Ruohong feel like he was on pins and needles. Of course not, Qingchen, I can trust you, it's clear that they framed you.

I wanted to blurt out and defend his most important person in front of all his courtiers, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

He needed a reason, a reason that would make Fang Qingchen give up his military power. Qingchen has always been good to me, as long as I apologize to him afterwards, he will definitely not blame me.

Muttering over and over again in his heart, he could finally barely laugh out loud: "Qingchen, I naturally don't believe it, but even if this kind of thing happens, the hundred officials will inevitably have doubts, you should avoid suspicion for a few days, let them investigate thoroughly, and when the matter is clear, see who else dares to accuse you." ”

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly, stared at him deeply, and was silent for a long time.

Such a long gaze made Chu Ruohong inexplicably frightened, still with such a warm gaze, without a trace of reproach, without a trace of anger, why did he just dare not look at Fang Qingchen's eyes.

Chu Liang next to him finally couldn't hold it back, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Hou." ”

Fang Qingchen shook slightly, revealing an expression like waking up from a dream, and his voice was as low as a whisper: "It's time to wake up from this big dream." ”

No one could hear what he said, and Chu Ruohong whispered a little worriedly: "Light dust." ”

Fang Qingchen still only gently protected him, and now the king, who had grown up, smiled, and then knelt down.
