In Gyeonggi Province, in the inner city of the Imperial Palace, in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the Daning Emperor Zhao Yongyi is lying on the ground carefully observing the map engraved on the stone slab. The map is very detailed, but Emperor Zhao Yongyi only looks at a corner, the north of the northern frontier of Daning, Mongolia.

Standing on the side, the chief of the inner chamberlain, Diao Mang, as the only personal eunuch of His Majesty the Emperor, at this moment, he could almost guess what the emperor was thinking, nothing more than when the territory of the Mongolian Kingdom would be included in the territory of Daning.

"Diao Mang, what do you say these people are doing below? I still don't know what the land of Northern Mongolia looks like. His Majesty the Emperor grumbled without looking back.

Diao Mang, the chief administrator of the inner chamberlain, just smiled indifferently, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, according to the slave maid, what does this Beimeng look like, you have to go and see it for yourself in the future." ”

The emperor was interested, got up, turned his head to look at Diao Mang, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will go again and never return?" ”

Diao Mang knew the temperament of his master, and he was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly: "Then it must be after Beimeng is included in the territory of Daning, and then you will go to Beimeng to serve Daning!" ”

Emperor Zhao Yongyi laughed when he heard it, even though he knew that this was Diao Mang's flattery to him, but he couldn't help himself from listening to it. Moreover, in his opinion, reckless words are not impossible.

At this time, a man in a black brocade coat and a cloak walked quickly into the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and no one stopped him or reported him. Emperor Zhao Yongyi didn't raise his head, he reached out and took the envelope handed over by this person, opened it and only glanced at it, Long Yan was furious.

This person is the first of the Emperor's shadow guards, there are twenty-two people in the shadow guards, named after the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches, all of them are orphans, and they have been trained inhumanly since childhood.

Emperor Zhao Yongyi said angrily: "A county guard has such a big courage to put a good imperial grain and not eat it, so he has to do things that endanger the community of Daning and the stability of the people." ”

Diao Mang stood aside and was taken aback, it was normal for the emperor to lose his temper, but it was rare to have such a big temper, he knew that something was wrong.

Jia said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, do you want to bring him back secretly for interrogation?" ”

Emperor Zhao Yongyi thought for a moment and said: "Inform the sons of the twelve earthly branches, let his people not act rashly, continue to monitor, I want to know where their armaments came from, through what means, and through what means they were transported to Mongolia, and who is involved in the middle." ”

A replied, "Yes!" Then, he took out another letter, and the word "10,000" was printed on the wax.

The emperor opened the envelope and pulled out a note, only a few numbers: "Arms smuggling involves princes and nobles, to be investigated." ”

After reading Wan's note, Emperor Zhao Yongyi's mood became worse, he was already furious about smuggling armaments, and with the participation of princes and nobles, he could no longer express his anger.

The emperor looked down at Mongolia, which was very close to the northern frontier, picked up the model of the big ship that was originally placed on the sea and slapped it on the map of Mongolia.

When the emperor saw that Jia was delaying his departure, he knew that he still had something to say, and said, "If you have anything to say, don't grind." ”

A: "Yin from the twelve earthly branches came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just ordered someone to kidnap a girl from Ping'an County, and now she is still in Taihe Palace, we dare not stop it." ”

Zhao Yongyi's head was about to explode, this unobtrusive prince thought about eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, and even sneaked out of the palace sometimes.

"Diao Mang, follow me to Taihe Palace." The Emperor commanded.

In the Taihe Palace, the crown prince Zhao He was hugging left and right, drinking wine, eating delicacies, and watching the beauties dance. The emperor's chariot traveled to the gate of Taihe Palace, and the guards at the door saw that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, and hurriedly ran to the palace, preparing to secretly report the news. Emperor Zhao Yongyi glanced at him, and A rushed forward with an arrow, and the scabbard was thrown out and smashed on the guard's calf, and the guard fell to the ground in response. He didn't dare to cry out in pain, and turned his head to the emperor to kowtow and admit his mistake. Zhao Yongyi walked in front of him without even looking at him.

Approaching the main hall, Zhao Yongyi and several people behind him heard the prince's cheerful laughter, Zhao Yongyi was angry, and quickly walked up the steps and kicked at the hidden door.

"What doesn't have long eyes, dare to disturb this prince to enjoy singing and dancing!" After the crown prince Zhao He saw the main gate being kicked open, he didn't think about it and scolded directly.

It's just that when he saw that the person in front of him was his father, the whole person was stunned, he forgot to salute, forgot to stop singing and dancing, and forgot to swallow the grape wine in his mouth.

By the time everyone reacted, it was too late. The emperor scanned the smoky hall with a dark face, and roared angrily: "Get out of here!" ”

Only then did the crown prince Zhao He react that he had made a big mistake. He crawled to the front of Zhao Yongyi and knelt down, begging for mercy: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said with a cold face: "Oh, what is wrong with you, it seems that I have to listen carefully today." ”

The prince replied with a crying voice: "The sons should not enjoy the songs and dances in the main hall, and the sons should read more books and more concerts." ”

The emperor put his foot on the crown prince's shoulder and scolded angrily: "You are an idiot! ”

The crown prince panicked, and the answer the emperor wanted was obviously not this. At this moment, the eunuch behind him reminded in a low voice: "Prince, it's the girl from Ping'an County." ”

When the prince heard this, he didn't think much about it, grabbed the emperor's leg and begged for mercy: "Father and the emperor know that he is wrong, and the son should not bring that girl to the palace." No, it's not Erchen's idea, Erchen didn't know before, it's all the idea of those dog minions, ask for the emperor's mercy! ”

The emperor raised his foot and kicked it again, and roared in a low voice: "This girl is my people, she is equivalent to my children, but also your people, your brothers and sisters, how can you do such a rebellious thing, shameless, scum!" ”

Diao Mang saw that His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, and he was afraid that he would be stunned again, so he hurriedly reminded His Majesty the Emperor not to be angry, because he used to reprimand the prince here, and he was so angry that he fainted.

The prince was still kneeling on the ground and kept pleading with Zhao Yongyi.

His Majesty the Emperor asked, "Have you done anything to that girl?" ”

The crown prince said aggrievedly: "Father, the son has not seen him yet, let alone what to do." ”

Emperor: "It's a pity to hear what you mean, I'll kill you for a bad thing." As he spoke, His Majesty the Emperor began to move, looked around, and suddenly saw the short knife on his waist, and he stepped forward to draw the knife to cut people, and his posture was very brave. Frightened, Diao Mang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to beg for mercy, and said, "Your Majesty, think twice, if you use the knife today, something will happen." ”

Only then did the emperor stop, and found that he was already confused, turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving behind a sentence as he left, "How did the girl come, how can she send it back, and the compensation should be doubled." In addition, without my permission, you are not allowed to go out of Taihe Palace for half a step, and you should reflect on it. ”

Seeing the back of his father and the emperor gradually moving away, the prince slowly got up, wiped away the tears on his face, sat down on the chair, and poured the unfinished wine in the cup into his mouth, with an endless aftertaste.

The eunuch beside the crown prince reminded: "Your Highness, why don't the slaves and maids take all this, after all, Your Majesty has just been furious, so it's better for you to be careful." ”

Prince Zhao He glanced at the eunuch beside him, picked up the wine jug and smashed it on his head, not enjoyable at once, a second and a third in succession, until his guards reminded him that the eunuch was out of breath.

Zhao He said lightly to his guards: "Find someone to bury him, bypass the people in the palace, and be more secretive." ”

The guards clenched their fists and took orders, beckoning people to immediately move them out of the main hall.

Emperor Zhao Yongyi returned to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned his head to Diao Mang and complained: "Tell me how many times I have given him, he has been like this when he returns, and he has not changed his teachings, just such a prince, how do you let me hand over the country to him, how can I hand over the people of the dawn of the world to him!" ”

Diao Mang comforted: "Your Majesty is angry, the prince is still young, maybe wait a few more years, and the prince will get better when he grows up." ”

When Emperor Zhao Yongyi heard this, he scoffed, he knew very well what his son was like. Compared with his second son, Prince An Zhao Yuan, he really felt that this prince should give way to Zhao Yuan. It's just that this emperor's family matters, sometimes even he, the Ninety-Five, can't be the master.

In the Wen Mansion, the eldest lady Wen Mei has always been in a daze recently, and the maid Liu Er stood behind her when she was fine, looking at the direction that the young lady was looking at, and learning to be in a daze with the young lady. The young lady was in a daze thinking about things, and she was in a daze thinking about what to eat at noon.

At this time, Wen Danian walked into his daughter's courtyard again, and could see his daughter lying on the windowsill in a daze from a distance, so he pulled Liu Er aside and began to ask.

Wen Danian: "Daughter, why is Miss always in such a daze lately, as if she has something on her mind?" ”

The daughter replied, "Sir, I found out too." ”

Wen Danian had a speechless expression, originally he wanted to ask Miss Liu'er what was wrong, but who knew that Liu'er directly affirmed his words.

Wen Danian asked in a slow voice again: "I mean, has Miss met anyone or anything recently?" ”

Liu'er: "There is nothing to do, if you want to say that there has to be something, that is, it rained two days ago, Miss and I walked on the road without an umbrella, at that time Miss was knocked down by a not long eye, fortunately, two people passed by to help us, and gave their only tarpaulin umbrella to Miss and me, so that Miss will not get sick in the rain, speaking of which we have to thank people." ”

Wen Danian then asked, "Who are those two?" ”

Liu'er: "I don't know, they helped us, put down the tarpaulin umbrella and left." By the way, that person's name seems to be Zhao Anping. ”

Wen Danian wrote down the name, Zhao Anping. He believes that his precious girl is likely to be tempted.

If you can do the book of the military department, you must be better than the people.

When it came to his daughter, Wen Danian was still not at ease, and immediately went out and ordered his subordinates to immediately investigate this person named Zhao Anping.
