The eldest prince has been fighting abroad for many years, although the Xiban is no longer as fierce as it was back then, but after all, there is more wind and snow on the battlefield, and the sword light is soaked in blood for a few years.

This time he returned to Beijing, as the leader of the eldest prince, he could bring 200 to 500 personal guards into Beijing according to the rules, but he only picked 200 personal soldiers in the end, and he didn't want these officials in Beijing to be distracted from the palace, but these personal guards under him were also brave people, and at this time they were arguing with the mission, and they were already about to be unable to suppress the murderous spirit. But these hundreds of eyes were cast on the carriage, knowing the identity of the people in the carriage, and they didn't dare to say anything.

In the car sat the future imperial concubine, no matter how stunned these murderers from the Western Army were, they would not be stupid enough to offend the future hostess for the sake of arguing.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ying went out of the city ten miles away, and among the officials present at this time, he had the deepest qualifications and the highest rank, and in an awkward silence, he stood up uncomfortably, ready to play a round, and said a few words, but in the neighing, few people could hear clearly.

A neighing sound suddenly sounded, and the horses of the Western Army's pro-barracks parted like flowing water, and dozens of horses were accused of being extremely accurate, giving way to a large area on the official road that was not magnanimous, and in the sound of horses' hooves, a general wearing Xuansu armor patted his horse and stepped forward.

Fan Xian was standing next to the eldest princess's carriage at this time, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was about to avoid it, but the horses of the eldest prince's own soldiers actually took advantage of the momentum of giving way, and rampaged.

Fan Xian smiled, bowed slightly, and saluted the general on the horse, ignoring the horses jumping and neighing and provocative beside him: "Minister Fan Xian, I have seen His Highness." ”

The horse came, naturally it is the eldest prince of Qingguo, I saw that his eyes were blazing, his eyes were naturally fierce, his eyebrows were straight and his nose was straight, his cheekbones were slightly high, but he did not look ugly, but there was a hint of heroic taste, the eldest prince rode on a horse, his whole body armor was reflective, and he really looked like a god, which made people dare not look directly.

So Fan Xian didn't look directly, just smiled slightly with a hateful and disgusting shyness, and bowed his head slightly.

The eldest prince didn't seem to think that the Wenchen who seemed a little restrained and humble in front of the horse was the most popular Fan Xian in Beijing today, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and suddenly said: "This handsome, why is he smiling like a girl." ”

The eldest prince was rude, but he didn't mean to speak, but he didn't pay attention to being listened to by the soldiers around him, thinking that the master was deliberately humiliating this civil servant who dared to fight with himself, so he laughed in unison, and the laughter went straight to the sky outside Kyoto, with endless contempt, the eldest prince was slightly stunned, and he didn't bother to care, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

And the few horses that were being proud were getting closer and closer to Fan Xian, and he could already hear the sound of the horses' nostrils opening. Several long horse faces pressed towards him, and it was the prince's own soldiers who wanted to force the mission away from the official road.

Fan Xian frowned slightly, he didn't expect that this eldest prince would not give face to his future wife, and it seemed that he would not give face to his remote brother-in-law, looking at the horse face in front of him getting closer and closer, the excitement in the eyes of the huge horse gradually rose, knowing that these war horses were not easy to control, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ready to temporarily retreat- Anyway, the purpose of settling a grudge with the eldest prince has been achieved, don't really turn your face with the other party, Fan Xian has nothing to do with the military direction, this is one of his major weaknesses, if those old generals in the Privy Council think that they are deliberately losing face to the Western Route Army, I am afraid that the court will be a little sad after rì.

Seeing that Lord Tisi was in danger, the swordsmen of the Supervision Yuan hidden in the mission appeared one after another, and swam out like a dozen light smokes, or stood on top of the carriage, or found the commanding heights next to the official road, and raised their crossbow arrows one after another, aiming at the horses approaching Fan Xian.

"I can't help it!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was shocked, and he actually used force outside Kyoto? This is going to spread to the world, where does the imperial court still have face? Naturally, you don't have to do this Ministry of Rites Shangshu, can your eldest prince still have good fruits to eat? Even if you Fan Xian has the support of the Supervision Yuan, won't His Majesty reward you with a meal?

The greeting ministers only reacted at this time, and looked at those cold officials of the Supervision Yuan, only then did they remember Fan Xian's frightening identity, and shouted one after another: "Stop! What nonsense!"

The eldest prince looked at this scene coldly, but somehow, he looked at this puppy named Fan Xian much more pleasing to the eye, in his heart, but anyone who dared to face him was a kind of guy.

Fan Xian was secretly complaining at this time, these officials of the Supervision Yuan, who had been trained by themselves very well along the way, did not expect that they were worried about their own safety at this time, but they did not care about the face of the court, and dared to aim their crossbow arrows at the Western Route Army who returned all the way east.

The eldest prince laughed, as if he saw Fan Xian's inner worry, and was ready to see how he handled this matter.

Seeing that someone dared to threaten him, the bloody aura that he had cultivated over the years suddenly surged, and he roared in unison, raised his gun and opened his bow, and surrounded the front team of the mission, and at the same time, he ...... Those horses have already surrounded Fan Xian!

Fan Xian raised his hand, flexed his middle finger and ring finger, and made a clear gesture in the surrounded by several horses.

When the officials and swordsmen of the Supervision Yuan saw this gesture, their faces were expressionless, they put away their crossbows, dismounted, and returned to the team, and they were all in unison, without any hesitation.

............ The eldest prince rode on a horse, revealing half of his face unchanged, but he was a little shocked in his heart, this seemingly weak courtier in front of him was so strict, and in this situation, it was a gesture that could make everyone stop immediately, this kind of discipline, even if it was his own Western Route Army, he was afraid that he couldn't do it.

The eldest prince knew in his heart that on the outskirts of Kyoto, it was impossible to really do anything, not to mention that there were still the crown prince and the second child waiting at the city gate, so he gently lifted the reins of the horse and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. There was an untidy uproar, and the soldiers were still a little unwilling to withdraw their bows and arrows, pull their horses back, compared to the momentum of the Supervision Yuan, which was really much worse, and the eldest prince couldn't help frowning.

At this time, the horses surrounding Fan Xian were also about to pull back, but the distance was too close, and the loess on the official road had gradually dried up, and the dust rose and poured into the nose of a tall horse, which kicked its hooves and twisted its long neck, which suddenly made these horses chaotic at the same time.

The two horses rushed towards Fan Xian at the same time!

This was purely an accident, the eldest prince looked at it from a distance of ten feet, and he couldn't help but be shocked, if he really killed the red man in the eyes of his father, he was afraid that his credit in the west would be completely wasted! But he immediately remembered the legendary Fan Xian's ability, and couldn't help but give birth to a glimmer of hope, thinking that since you are the commander of the Supervision Yuan, you will not be killed by a few horses, right?

The horse rushed straight by, and immediately submerged Fan Xian in the rising dust, and only the masters could faintly see that there were two bright lights in the dust.

............ After the dust gradually fell, Fan Xian still maintained that hateful smile, and stood a little restrainedly, but the two startled horses swept over his body and fell to the ground, and the knight seemed to faint on the horse, but the two horses did not have such good luck, only to see that the horse's head had already flown away with two canopies of blood, and the horse's corpse shook the loess on the official road slightly cracked!

Behind Fan Xian, two swordsmen in brown clothes clenched the long knives of Qi people with both hands, their faces were indifferent, their eyes were cold, and they looked at the barracks of the eldest prince not far away.

Two knives at the same time, cut two horses' heads alive, such a fast knife, such a fast shot!

The eldest prince's pupils shrank, looking at the two swordsmen behind Fan Xian, somehow, but he felt that the other party's shot was a little familiar, his fingers lightly tapped the nail piece on the outside of his thigh, when it sounded slightly, he looked at Fan Xian and said word by word: "Lord Fan is really powerful, this king has been fighting for several years, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Kyoto, I was cut off two horses by Your Excellency in public! It turns out that the imperial court welcomes soldiers home like this." ”

Fan Xian sighed, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, as if he thought that the smell of horse blood was a little pungent, and explained: "Your Highness, give the minister a thousand dares, and the minister will not dare to kill His Highness's war horse." At this time, he found out that although His Royal Highness was rude, he was not a stupid person, and he was holding himself every word, and when he heard the eldest prince claiming to be the king, he remembered that when he ordered the eldest prince to return to the east, His Majesty had already made the eldest prince the prince, which was the first person to be crowned king among all the royal children.

Thinking that he had offended the other party miserably today, Fan Xian couldn't help frowning.

When the eldest prince's face became cold, the personal guard beside him stepped forward and said a few words. Hearing these words, the eldest prince looked at the two swordsmen behind Fan Xian, frowned and said, "It turned out to be Huwei." ”

............ Gao Da also whispered behind Fan Xian at this time: "The one next to the eldest prince is a tiger guard. ”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know?"

"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates do. Gundam replied in a deep voice, and the horse's blood on the long knife was still dripping down at this time. Fan Xian said: "Since you are a tiger guard, how can you be so rude to the eldest prince. ”

Gao Gao said in a deep voice: "Young Master, Your Majesty has a will, and your subordinates only need to protect the young master's safety, as for who the other party is, you don't need to think about it." ”

The two of them spoke very softly, and a few inexplicable sès suddenly appeared between Fan Xian's eyebrows, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly bowed to the eldest prince's mount and didn't say anything.

At this time, the pro-military camp under the eldest prince had already carried back the two fainting pro-soldiers, just waiting for His Royal Highness to give an order, he rushed over and beat the people of the mission, but the eldest prince fell into silence at this time, and suddenly the eldest prince rode alone, drove to Fan Xian's side, lowered his body slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your temper, I like it, but you kill the horse ominously, after entering Beijing, beware of this king looking for trouble with you." ”

Fan Xian looked at this buddy, sighed and said, "Your Highness, it really has nothing to do with Weichen, please let Your Highness know it." ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly, as a royal disciple, he naturally knew the control of the tiger guard, thinking that it was his father's bodyguard for the mission, which really had nothing to do with Fan Xian, but he was still extremely angry in his heart.

"It's the meaning of this palace, if Your Highness is dissatisfied, don't be embarrassed by Lord Fan. The princess's voice, which had been quiet for a long time in the carriage, finally sounded again.

At this time, all the officials came up, Ren Shaoan took Fan Xian's hand, Xin Qiwu held the leg of the eldest prince, the small yellow door in the palace desperately held the reins of the eldest prince's horse, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu blew his beard and glared, and scolded back those pro-military camps with hatred on his face, and the elder of the Privy Council acted as a peacemaker after the horse, in short, the Qingguo court mobilized to surround the eldest prince and Fan Xian, turning hostility into jade silk and turning anger into peace.

With so many officials surrounding, the conflict between the mission and the Western Route Army naturally had to be stopped, otherwise they would do it, otherwise they would really hurt any old man, which would be tantamount to not giving face to the court.

What is the imperial court? It is not the three courts, six departments and four temples, but the face, the face of all the courtiers.

............ At this time, the city gate looked at what seemed to be happening here from a distance, and finally had a reaction, and rode to the dust, and asked for a long time to figure it out, it turned out that the mission had arrived in advance, and argued with the eldest prince, where can the subordinates deal with such a major matter, and quickly report back.

At this time, both sides fought over the xìngzi, even if Fan Xian wanted to retreat again, the princess in the carriage and the civil officials in the mission did not want to retreat again, so they had to be more advanced than the eldest prince.

But the eldest prince has killed two horses in his nest today, and he has lost a lot of face, if he didn't know that Huwei is a confidant of his father, he would never be a courtier who can support him, otherwise he would have ordered a random gun to open the way. But at this time, he was also aroused by his temper, where is he willing to let the mission enter the city, what bullshit princess!

The dispute was not settled, and the legs of the court officials were hugged by the legs, and the horses were blocked, this fight naturally could not be fought, so they had to play some lawsuits on the tongue, but those soldiers of the Western Route Army fought or were powerful, and when they fought with their mouths, how could they be the opponents of these diplomatic officials in the mission who were good at sophistry, from the court rules to the friendship between the two countries, from the sacred heart of His Majesty to the face of the officials, and gradually the prince fell behind, but he blocked the official road very strongly, and refused to let the mission advance.

A bright and yellow car drove slowly approached the scene of the accident in the most lively vegetable market in the entire imperial court since the founding of the country.

Finally someone found out, and quickly stopped talking, and at this time Fan Xian had already retreated, and he didn't know what he was talking about when he got Yan Bingyun's carriage, and after being reminded by Yan Bingyun, he immediately found the car driver, and hurriedly greeted him, sorted out his official uniform, and followed the officials around him, and made a big salute.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The crown prince was originally prepared to welcome the eldest prince back to Beijing at the gate of the city in accordance with His Majesty's holy decree, but who knew that there was such a big disturbance here, and there was no way, so he had to deign to come to mediate in person.

Seeing that it was the prince who came, the eldest prince did not dare to scold recklessly, so he hurriedly dismounted, walked to the prince's car with his armor, and knelt down. At this time, the prince had already gotten out of the car, and hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't let him kneel, and kept saying: "Big brother, you have armor on your body, you don't need to make this big gift, not to mention that you are a brother, how can I let you worship me." ”

The eldest prince's love was really direct, and the prince said that he would not be allowed to worship, so he did not worship, straightened up, and took off his helmet. Although the officials of the Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites next to him muttered something in their hearts, but the affairs of the two brothers, since His Majesty didn't care about these etiquettes, he was a courtier, what kind of mouth.

The prince looked at his brother's cheeks and said with some emotion: "The eldest brother has been fighting for the country for many years, and this wind has blown the sun, and he has lost weight. ”

The eldest prince replied with a smile: "What's this? It's also comfortable to run a horse outside, and you also know that my brother doesn't like to stay in the mansion the most, and he can't kill himself." No, if it weren't for nǎinǎi who had to come back, I wouldn't want to stay out a little longer. ”

The crown prince blamed: "Not only the imperial grandmother, but also the father and queen, Concubine Ning, and our brothers, all want you to come back as soon as possible." ”

The eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian with oblique eyes and said, "I'm afraid that some people don't want me to come back sooner." ”

Seeing that he was hesitant, the prince asked what was going on, but he couldn't help laughing, this laughter was a little strange, and those ministers didn't know what the prince was playing. I saw that the prince waved his hand lightly, ordered Fan Xian to come over, and asked, "Are you arguing with His Highness?" Do you know that this is a serious crime. ”

Fan Xian smiled and explained: "How can the minister have the courage, it is really Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Northern Qi who came all the way, and there was some wind and cold on the road, so I really can't wait outside the city any longer." ”

The crown prince bowed slightly, and walked to the carriage with the hand of the eldest imperial brother, and greeted softly, then turned around and said with a smile to the eldest imperial brother: "Don't worry about these courtiers, besides, you have not been in Beijing for the past two years, I don't know what happened, and I don't know Fan Xian if you want to come, come, this palace will introduce you to you." ”

Fan Xian and the prince hadn't actually met much at all, but seeing the prince's gentle expression at this time, he knew that the other party wanted to show his close and friendly relationship with him in front of the officials, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted the eldest prince: "The minister has learned to be honest with Fan Xian, and has seen His Royal Highness." ”

"You are the middle of the fourth grade. The prince reproached: "How can you forget your official position?" ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This way to the north and south, I am really a little confused, please forgive the prince." ”

The crown prince whispered to the eldest prince, "Fan Xian is now helping the dean. ”

"I know this, the inspector of the Supervision Yuan, what a big official. The eldest prince said with a sneer.

The prince smiled and played a round game: "That's it, even if you don't look at my face, look at the morning girl's face, you can't treat his anger with him, saying that when you were a child, you and the morning girl were very good...... Speaking of which, Fan Xian is also our brother-in-law, they are all a family, what kind of anger are you having. ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly, and looked at Fan Xian, who was a little restrained: "I was born with this kind of anger, Chen'er is a treasure in the palm of everyone's hands in the palace, and she is actually married to such a sissy, and she is annoyed to look at it!

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, only then did he realize that he had completely mistaken the direction, it turned out that the dispute was indeed a family matter, but it was not a family matter between the eldest prince and the future imperial concubine, but a family matter between the prince and his brother-in-law.
