"You tell me that these are useless!" The prince looked at Yuan Tang coldly and said, "We only cared about guarding against the second and fourth children before, and now the sixth child is also like this, how should we deal with it?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, let's analyze the situation clearly before making plans. Yuan Tang said with a smile, "Now that my emperor is in poor health, it is a sensitive period, and if there is a slight mistake, the situation will not be easy to clean up." ”

"I am the crown prince! The inheritance of the great unification is justified! Several of them don't think about how to assist me in governing the country, but they covet the throne every day!" The prince slammed the teacup again, and said angrily, his voice raised a lot.

Yuan Tang was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, motioned to the prince to be quieter, and said to the prince with his lips: "The wall has ears!"

The prince calmed down his emotions and whispered, "Then tell me about the current situation." ”

Yuan Tang sat down again and said, "Even if the Sixth Prince wins Xincheng, it may not be a bad thing for us. After all, because of the death of Concubine Shuniang, the sixth prince has not been treated by the emperor since he was a child, and he has no connections in the palace, and his intention should be to protect himself, not to covet the throne. ”

"What do you say?" the prince was interested in Yuan Tang's words.

Yuan Tang took a sip of tea and said, "I think that back then, only Concubine Shu was favored in the six courtyards of the harem. But after giving birth to the sixth prince, Concubine Shu has been gloomy and unhappy, and finally committed suicide by cutting her wrists. The imperial doctor believed that this was a mental illness after childbirth, and the emperor attributed all this to the sixth prince, who disliked him since he was a child. In this palace, he is the only prince who is completely dependent on the nurse to raise him, except for the third princess, few people walk around with him. ”

In the past two years, the emperor seems to feel that he owes him something and gives him some errands, but his heart is hard to get rid of. If he wants to get the throne, the emperor can't pass this hurdle!"

"Judging from the matter of Xincheng, the sixth prince is also a very smart person, and it is impossible for him not to see this form. Therefore, I think that he seized Shinjo only as a bargaining chip for self-protection, not as a desire to seize the throne. ”

"Makes sense!" the prince suddenly came to his senses, his face beaming with joy: "If the sixth brother can assist me, then Xincheng will naturally be mine." ”

"The prince is wise!" said Yuan Tang, "Now, the second prince has Rencheng in his hands, and the fourth prince has Yicheng in his hands." Licheng is in the hands of Uncle Guo, which is equivalent to being in the hands of the crown prince. Zhicheng is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to move. As long as the six princes can be used by the crown prince, then we have an absolute advantage. ”

"We must now beware of the sixth child being pulled away by the second or fourth child!" said the prince.

"What the prince said is extremely true!" said Yuan Tang, "and in addition to this, we must take precautions. ”

"What's the matter?" asked the prince.

"Crown prince, you are the emperor's designated heir to the throne, as long as there are no major mistakes, you can inherit the throne logically. Yuan Tang said, "If someone wants to seize the throne, they will definitely make the prince make a big mistake before he ascends the throne, so that they can have a chance." That's why I advised the prince to be cautious in his words and deeds at this time, not to make mistakes, and let others seize the handle. ”

The prince felt that what Yuan Tang said made sense, and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice!"

The Six Princes traveled to Huaguo and were attacked in Xincheng, and according to custom, they would terminate their travels and return to the Imperial City.

Nan Ao, the sect leader of the Medical Sect, also rushed back to Zhicheng, and in order to ensure the safety of the six princes, he decided to go on the road with His Royal Highness the prince.

Qi Lin had already promised the Sixth Prince to let Qi Feng go to Zhicheng with him, and leave His Royal Highness the Prince to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for one night. Yu Lan asked Qi Feng in every way, for fear that he would cause trouble when he arrived in Zhicheng.

The next morning, Qi Lin, Yu Lan, and Zi Xiao sent the Six Princes, Nan Ao, Qi Feng and others to the city gate, and watched them and a group of seven people ride away.

"Feng'er and Miss Ziyi went to Zhicheng with His Royal Highness the Prince, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. After the backs of the seven disappeared, Yu Lan said.

"The Sect Master is right, the prince was attacked in the City Lord's Mansion, and we have already gotten the best result. Qi Lin looked at the sky in the distance and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince has traveled all over China for several months, and the assassin chose to hide in the City Lord's Mansion to assassinate, and this matter is a bureau. ”

"Lord City, you mean, this is His Royal Highness the Prince......" Zixiao said in surprise.

But before he finished speaking, Qi Lin had already raised his right hand to signal him to stop, and said with a serious expression: "Lord Commander, how His Royal Highness the Prince will act, we as courtiers cannot speculate!"

"The lesson of the city lord is that the lower officials are confused!" Zixiao said reproachfully.

"This incident is just a symptom, and I'm afraid that this country is about to change. Qi Lin looked up at the sky and said, "Five cities and six sects will inevitably have to endure a violent storm. It's just that Miss Ziyi has been dragged down. ”

"The little girl admires the young city lord very much, she wants to wade through this troubled water herself, and I, as a father, can't hold it, so let her go. Zixiao sighed and said.

"Anyway, the future of this country is the world of young people, and they must learn to face it by themselves whether it is a blessing or a curse. Qilin said.

Among the five cities, the distance between Xincheng and Zhicheng is the closest, and you can reach Zhicheng from Xincheng in one day.

In the middle of Xincheng and Zhicheng is the largest and most prosperous county in Huaguo.

The territory of China is divided into five cities and 36 counties.

Rencheng in the east, Yicheng in the west, Licheng in the south, and Xincheng in the north, each of these four cities is attached to seven counties, and is named after 28 houses.

Dongfang Rencheng has Jiao County, Kang County, Di County, Fang County, Xin County, Wei County, and Ji County;

In the west, there are Kui County, Lou County, Stomach County, Pleiades County, Bi County, Mi County, and Shen County;

There are Jing County, Ghost County, Liu County, Xing County, Zhang County, Yi County, and Zhen County in the southern rite city;

In the north, Shinjo has Dou-gun, Niu-gun, Nü-gun, Xu-gun, Wei-gun, Muro-gun, and Bi-gun.

The central Zhicheng is the most central part of Huaguo, with eight counties attached, and the Zhicheng is surrounded in the middle according to the gossip layout. Each county is named after the eight trigrams, namely Qianjun, Kun County, Zhen County, Xun County, Kan County, Lixian County, Gen County, and Dui County.

Kun-gun, located directly south of Shinseong, is the northernmost county under the jurisdiction of Chiseong. Many people who travel between the two cities choose to have a bite to eat and recuperate in Kungun. This has made the food and accommodation industry in Kun County very prosperous, and has made a great contribution to the prosperity of Kun County.

Seven people, including the sixth prince, arrived at Kun County at noon.

"It's been a long day's journey, let's eat something in Kun County!" the sixth prince said to everyone.

"Great!" Nan Ye said happily, "I heard that there is a restaurant called 'Kezilai' in the central area of Kun County, and the food in it is very famous, and many people from other counties come here. Your Royal Highness, why don't we go there too?"

"Nonsense! Such a sensational name is not a good place to go when you hear it!" Nan Ao glanced at Nan Ye and said with a little anger, then turned to the sixth prince and said, "Everything is up to His Highness, we just follow orders!"

As the sect leader of the medical sect, Nan Ao has dealt with the royal family for many years and is familiar with many rules for getting along with the royal family, one of which is not to take the initiative to give advice to the royal family. For example, in this matter now, Nan Ye suggested to the Six Princes to go to the "Kezilai" restaurant, if the Six Princes listened to Nan Ye's advice, once the assassination of the Six Princes happened there again, then Nan Ye would not be able to get rid of the suspicion of being an accomplice with the assassins. The assassination incident that happened yesterday in the Shinjo City Lord's Mansion, Nan Ao and Nan Ye were also present, and if a similar incident happened today, it would basically confirm the speculation that they were complicit in the assassins.

The sixth prince reined in his horse, shook his fan at Nan Ao and said with a smile: "Sect Master, you can't bully the small with the big! I think Miss Ye's proposal is very good, we young people like novelty things." Qifeng, don't you say?"

"What Your Highness said is very true, I think this restaurant should be a little interesting, and I want to go and see it. Qi Feng said, then looked at Nan Ao and said with a smile: "Sect Master, most of the people here are young people, but I want to wronged you!"

"I'm fine, Your Highness just thinks it's okay!" Nan Ao said with an embarrassed smile.

"My grandfather is not old!" Nan Ye said happily, she didn't expect her idea to be affirmed by the Six Princes, "You only see his appearance, but you don't know that he has a young heart!"

"It's still Miss Ye who can speak!" the sixth prince said, "But remember, don't call me Your Highness on the road, you can call me Sixth Brother, and the Sect Master can call me whatever you want!"

"Then I will call His Highness the Sixth Prince!" Nan Ao bowed and said.

After deciding to go to the "Kezilai" restaurant for lunch, everyone continued to drive forward.
