Chapter 020: The King Arrives at the Palace

Duanmu Wangfu was noisy and noisy, people went in and out, but they couldn't find Princess Qiyun, the prince said, "General Dao, the palace will be handed over to you, if Princess Qiyun comes back, you can send a signal to me, I have to go to find Qiyun in person!"

Scar said, "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, the princess has her own natural appearance, you will wait patiently in the mansion, and I will take my brothers to find it." ”

Prince Duanmu waved his hand lightly and said, "No, it's better for this king to find it himself, and the palace will be handed over to you!"

Prince Duanmu insisted on going to find Princess Qiyun in person, but Scar had no way to stop him. The prince led dozens of men to leave the palace in a hurry, and the sound of horses' hooves disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Soon after Prince Duanmu left the palace, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the street, they were none other than the monarch's Yulin Army, the Yulin Army came straight to the Duanmu Palace, came to the front of the palace, and quickly stood straight into two teams.

Scar had already received the news, and immediately led people to the gate of the palace, knelt on the ground, and respectfully greeted the arrival of the monarch and the prime minister.

"What about your prince, why don't you come to see the widow?" the king ignored Scar and the others, and seemed to be angry at what had annoyed him!

Scar didn't dare to look up at the monarch, and said in a low voice, "Returning to the country, Princess Qiyun and His Royal Highness the Prince in the palace had some quarrels, Princess Qiyun ran away from the palace in a fit of anger, and His Royal Highness the Prince is leading people to look for it!"

When the monarch heard this, he was taken aback and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Scar didn't want to tell the monarch the truth of the matter, so he responded with a smile, "It's all a trivial matter of housework, I believe Princess Qiyun will definitely come back!"

The monarch was very worried about Princess Qiyun's safety, and turned to Qin Luyao and said, "Lord Qin, I bother you to quickly send troops around to find Princess Qiyun, and once there is news, report to the widow immediately!"

After Qin Luyao received the order, he immediately turned around and began to deploy. Accompanied by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and Scar, the monarch came to the hall by himself, and Scarson immediately arranged for his subordinates to bring tea and water.

The monarch asked, "General Dao, according to the regulations of Yuanyue Kingdom, the prince's mansion can have 20,000 soldiers, but the prince brother only needs 8,000, what do you think about the prince's mansion only needs 8,000 soldiers?"

Scar never expected the monarch to ask him this question, so he smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the prince has always advocated the nationalization of the army, and the prince and ministers and generals should not have an army, just these eight thousand soldiers ....."

With a wave of his hand, the monarch interrupted Scar's words and said, "This is very clear in the widow's heart, and the widow is asking you what you think!"

The king's question made Scar very embarrassed, because he knew that except for the people in the prince's palace, everyone here was willing to have more troops in their hands, and with the army, they could straighten their waists when they talked and walked, and if they obeyed these people, how could they explain the affairs of the palace? This monarch would not come to the palace for nothing, it can be said that the person who came was not good! He said tremblingly, "Returning to the country, according to the humble position, the size of the army does not mean anything, and the combat effectiveness of the army is the key." ”

The monarch nodded and said, "The sword general really led the troops well, no wonder the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that the army of this prince's mansion was stronger than the widowed Yulin army!"

Scar was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Where does the monarch say, this prince's army is just some old, weak, sick and disabled, how can it be compared to the Yulin army?"

Prime Minister Zhang's eyes kept flickering, he smiled, and said, "I don't know how General Dao can improve the combat capability of the army?"

Scar looked at Prime Minister Zhang, he knew very well in his heart that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was not at ease, but what could he do? He could only answer directly, "As the so-called raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the army mainly relies on training on weekdays, and if it is not trained on weekdays, how can there be an army with strong combat effectiveness?"

The monarch said bluntly, "So there is also a training ground in the prince's palace?"

Only then did Scar know the purpose of the monarch and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's visit to the palace, he kowtowed again and again, and said, "Returning to China, where is there any training ground in the prince's mansion? ”

The king stood up and said, "The widow wants to see how big the open space is!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the back hall angrily, how dare Scar slack off, followed closely behind, and came to the back hall, after Scar opened the martial arts training ground, the monarch's face changed, "This is just a vacant land you are talking about?"

Scar never expected that the monarch would come to the martial arts training ground in person, he smiled and said, "Yes, in the palace, there is only open space here. ”

The monarch looked around, then at the weapon rack, and said coldly, "Okay, I think there is everything here, no less than the training ground of the military department." ”

The most terrible thing about being a courtier is that he is mistaken for being powerful by the monarch, and he is so powerful that he surpasses that of the monarch and the imperial court! Scar once again "pounced" on his knees on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Where is it, what is the fact that the soldiers of my Dayuan Yue country are all over the world, Weizhen Wujiang, and the prince's mansion are just a place for our private brothers to strengthen their health, how can it be compared with the training ground of the military department?"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "There are training grounds in the back hall of this palace, I don't know if there are other places?"

Scar smiled coldly and said, "Prime Minister Zhang knows everything clearly, so he naturally knows about the prince's army, and he really doesn't know about other places, why don't you check it out as well?"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said with a smug smile, "This private training ground is used to train soldiers and horses in the Prince's Mansion, I don't know what the Prince's Mansion is intended for?"

Scar said to each other, "In the code of this Yuanyue Kingdom, there is no restriction on the training ground, the Prince's Mansion trains troops on weekdays, and it is also to be ready to be loyal to the Yuanyue Kingdom at any time, once the Yuanyue Kingdom needs to use troops, the Prince's army will charge into battle, and it will not be resigned!"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said, "Although there is no restriction in the legal code of Yuanyue Kingdom, it is probably the first case in history to set up a training ground in the palace, since it is for the benefit of Yuanyue Kingdom, why is it not above board, why hide in this palace compound?"

Scar said, "His Royal Highness saw that we had no place to practice martial arts, so he used this vacant land, why is it not above board?"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince wants to train on the ground, why don't you report it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will ..... it."

Prime Minister Zhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the monarch, "Okay, since this prince's mansion still has such a big place, then good, the widow will shrink this palace by half and change the other half into a private house, which can be regarded as the contribution of the prince's mansion to the imperial court!"

Scar said, "Now His Royal Highness the Prince is no more, can the monarch wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to return to the house before making a decision?"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng snorted and said, "Joke, do you have to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to come back to make any decisions the monarch makes?"

"No, no, no, that's not what Xia Guan meant, Xia Guan just thinks...."Scar quickly explained, but was interrupted by the monarch, "Okay, since the widow has decided, you can do it, what are you waiting for?"

As he spoke, he turned around and left the prince's palace without looking back.
