1. The cold of spring is expected to be warm in the end Chapter 34 The undercurrent in the city

Zhao Tong and Qian Shangshu fought for a few rounds, and Qian Shangshu was slightly defeated: "Miss Zhao is strong in martial arts, Qian is not an opponent, let's not fight." ”

When Zhao Yingqi heard the third prince call him Qian Shangshu, he knew that this was Qian Wuduo, the head master of the Zhou State, and the head of the household department. Zhao Yingqi, who was interested in watching the play, did not make a sound.

Zhao Tong didn't hear Mr. stop, so naturally his subordinates didn't stop, although they didn't go all out, they also beat Qian Wuduo quite embarrassed.

"Ouch, why do you like to kick people's ass!" Qian Wuduo's punch to seize the middle line was flashed by Zhao Tong with his body and kicked on his ass.

Qian Wuduo almost fell on the ground and ate, and yelled angrily at a person watching a play on the second floor of the hotel: "Mouthful, have you seen enough of the play?" Still not yet? ”

"Hahaha, dead fat man, this name is wonderful, although it is not as good as 'Iron Rooster', but it is also quite appropriate." The man was in his forties, handsome, with a strand of white hair combed into a bun on the top of his head and wrapped in a white scarf.

Zhao Yingqi somewhat understands why he is called "mother-in-law", he is indeed handsome and comparable to a woman, and the word "mother" is not wronged, but I don't know which master of Zhou is this.

It was the third prince who helped Zhao Yingqi solve his confusion: "Lu Shizhong, you are also here, Xiao Wang has seen Lord Lu." ”

Zhou Guozheng served Lu Wen in the third grade, and before Lu Wen could return the salute, a fist slammed into front of him,

It turned out that Qian Wuduo was invincible in his hands, and he carried out light skills and kept dodging, who would have thought that this short and fat figure with some fortune would be extraordinary. Qian Wuduo specially led Zhao Tong to Lu Wen's side, and then hid behind Lu Wen.

Zhao Tong saw that this handsome middle-aged literati was also one of them, so he punched him in the face without saying a word.

Lu Wen also joined the battle group with a lot of scolding for Qian Wuduo, originally Zhao Tong was higher in martial arts than the two of them, but under the siege of the two people, it was inevitable that they would be a little stumbling and in a hurry.

Seeing that Zhao Tong was slightly declining under the siege of Qian Shangshu and Lu Shizhong, the third prince also came to the spirit, and put his eyes back on Zhao Yingqi, holding the wooden hairpin that Zhao Tong threw at him just now, which was originally an ornament inserted in the root of Zhao Tong's ponytail

Looking at the appearance of the third prince as a pig brother, as well as the sneer on the corner of his mouth now, it is not difficult to imagine what the third prince thinks in his heart, Zhao Yingqi forcibly endured and did not roll his eyes.

Zhao Yingqi suddenly thought that this wooden hairpin was originally a pair, and the other was in his hair. Stretched out his hand to pull the ponytail from behind him to the front of him, then turned his head sideways and took off a hairpin of the same style at the root, poured a trace of internal force into his hand, and launched it towards the third prince.

The third prince was about to draw his sword to block, but he didn't want Zhao Yingqi to just use a skill, and the hairpin flew in front of the third prince and slowed down, which was not a threat at all.

The third prince looked at this hairpin, and Zhao Tong's one, one long and one short, the long one has a provocative shape at the top, which looks like a crown feather, the short one has two white eyebrow lines on the top, and the tips of the two hairpins are bird's beaks. This is clearly a pair of mandarin duck hairpins.

The third prince knew that this was Zhao Yingqi secretly mocking himself, and was about to ask his subordinates to find Zhao Yingqi's bad luck, but Zhao Yingqi spoke first.

"Xiaotong, come back." Zhao Yingqi saw that the three princes were a little angry, and Zhao Tong was also a little angry under the siege of the two, afraid that Zhao Tong would not be able to contain and hurt people with all his strength.

"Today, I am fortunate to see 'not much money' Qian Shangshu and 'difficult to open a single mouth' Lu Shizhong, I am very honored, he chose the opportunity to visit the two seniors in his later life, how about a misunderstanding today?" Zhao Yingqi bowed his hand to the two people on the street.

Zhao Tong heard Mr. speak, and also withdrew his hand and returned to Zhao Yingqi's side.

"Mr. Zhao is too polite, today is just a trip with friends to drink, there is no Shangshu, waiting, it is also an unexpected joy to meet Mr. Zhao, Miss Zhao's name of 'female god of war' is true, Qian is willing to bow down." Money is as good as its name suggests, very sleek.

"What Mr. Zhao said is very true, and the misunderstanding has been revealed." Lu Wen didn't want to get involved with their royal family, but he didn't have much money and made a rash move, so he was helplessly involved.

"Let's go." After Zhao Yingqi bowed to the two of them again, he entered the carriage and let Zhao Tong rush away.

The third prince was originally going to continue to make trouble, but when he saw that Qian Wuduo and Lu Wen were standing in front, they obviously didn't want them to continue fighting each other in the street, so they had to give up and confess to the two of them and wanted to leave.

But he didn't want Lu Wen to speak: "Third Highness, Your Majesty's birthday is coming, and I hope that Your Royal Highness will pay more attention to your words and deeds." ”

As soon as the three princes were suffocated, they took their men into the city.

Qian Wuduo and Lu Wen took one last look at the street, because of the dispute between the two sides, many stalls were lifted, the two glanced at each other, and both read the thoughts in each other's eyes: "Disappointment." ”

When the third prince was eighteen years old, he was named Prince Ling, and allowed him to open a palace and set up a government, because the fief was in the northeast of the Zhou State, close to the Jin State, so he often participated in the war against the Jin State, and had many military exploits, which was praised by the emperor and the ministers of the court.

But for some reason, in recent years, he has become more and more obedient and self-serving, and the doorman just now has been with him for six years, but none of the suggestions put forward can enter the ears of the third prince.

This time, the emperor ordered the third prince to go to Chunuchi Road to cooperate with the second prince to take the two counties of Jia and Nei, but after he arrived at Chunuchi Road, he actually withdrew his army because of anger with the second prince.

The people in the court know almost everyone about the four princes fighting for the heir, and each has their own choices and sides, but for these high-ranking officials, there is actually no difference between standing in line and not standing in line, no matter who becomes the emperor, they can also be ranked as the three princes and nine secretaries, but this transcendent position does not mean that they can accept anyone to ascend to the throne at will.

On the face, it is said that the establishment of the prince is the emperor's family matter, but how can the inheritance of Guozuo make a cadre of important ministers indifferent. Although these big men gathered around the power center did not say anything on their faces, they each had an account in their hearts.

Qian Wuduo and Lu Wen saw the current situation, they couldn't drink wine, and it was not interesting to stay, so they also went to the city and returned home together.

They didn't see the later scene, the two three princes, Ling Wangwei, came out of the city gate again, came to the town, and compensated the smashed vendors along the street.

Although they had an arrogant attitude and threw down the money and left, the vendors in each stall still saluted and thanked the two Spirit King Guards for their continuous salutation.

These two are the two military marquis who followed the middle-aged guest and did not participate in the struggle...

Zhao Yingqi entered the city with the captain and then entered the inner city along the Tongying Street in the middle, Ning Wangfu is on the edge of the imperial city, the distance from the imperial city is very close, from the Ning Wangfu you can see the eaves of Yongle Palace and Shengtian Palace in the imperial city.

At night, there are some "ding ding dong" wind chimes in the palace floating into King Ning's mansion, accompanied by the swaying lights in the Yongle Palace, there is a sense of comfort.

Zhao Yingqi listened carefully to the wind chimes that were not composed of songs and tones in the garden of King Ning's mansion, and felt that the owner of this wind chimes must be an indifferent character.

Halfway through the unitary hour, a maid from King Ning's Mansion came over and told Zhao Yingqi that the four princes and the third prince were left in the palace by the emperor for the night, and that Zhao Yingqi could not be invited to a banquet at night, and asked someone to apologize to Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi didn't care, he was just in a hurry for a day, and he was very tired, saying that he just needed to send the food to his yard, and he didn't need to be served.

Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong ate early and fell asleep...

It's just that there is some excitement in the palace, and the third and fourth princes were punished by the emperor under the eaves in the southeast corner of Yongle Palace.

It turned out that the four princes' subordinates had sent people into the palace to report to the four princes, and the four princes were very protective, and when they heard that their subordinates were being bullied, they were furious, so they went directly to the outside of the city from Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning was worried that the fourth prince would cause trouble, so she kept dragging him. Who knew that when the fourth prince got out of the palace from his mother's concubine, he happened to meet the third prince who entered the palace to give his decree.

The two sides actually fought under the mutual stimulation of cynical words, of course, there was definitely no knife, and moving a knife in the palace is like rebellion. But it is this kind of bare-handed fight that is the easiest to get angry, and the three princes were deflated outside the city, and they couldn't help but lack virtue in their mouths, and they alluded to the humble background of Concubine Ning, the mother of the four princes.

In the palace, in front of the Shengtian Palace, the two princes scuffled together, so that many eunuchs and palace maids and many officials on duty in two shifts and three stations watched the play from afar.

The funny thing is that the emperor didn't care, so he let them fight, and when the nose and face were swollen on both sides, and the clothes were disheveled, Princess Yongle jumped up and told them that the father asked them to continue to fight under the wind chimes of Yongle Palace, and they couldn't stop before dawn regardless of victory or defeat.

Yongle Palace is the sleeping palace of the late queen of the Zhou Kingdom, the queen is kind and kind, and he is very good to both of his brothers, and the wind chimes under the eaves in the southeast corner of Yongle Palace are left by the queen during her lifetime. The two brothers, who respected the queen very much, naturally would not fight again under the wind chimes, and they also understood what the emperor meant, so both of them stood under the eaves and were silent...

On the other side, the Lingwang Mansion is also on the edge of the imperial city, but it is a little farther away, because the third prince was left in the palace, and the doorman during the day had to come back by himself.

This doorman's name is Dong Xiang, and he is the first strategist under the three princes, and he has a very high status in the Lingwang Mansion.

"Are you so crazy that you dare to do anything? This is a matter of the Zhujiu clan, do you know! In a courtyard on the west side of the Lingwang Mansion, Dong Xiang slammed the door from inside very angrily, and just said a word to the people inside and prepared to leave the courtyard.

Who knew that a female voice came from the room: "Zhu Jiu Clan? Didn't my Nine Clans have been exterminated by him a long time ago? The surname is Dong, aren't you also involved? ”

Dong Xiang's footsteps stopped, lowered his head, trembling all over, as if he remembered something, and said in a very sad tone: "Huanhuan, the matter has passed, and I can't help myself." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard, but after leaving the courtyard, Dong Xiang glanced at the courtyard with a vicious look that was very inconsistent with his tone.

The woman in the room heard the sound of the courtyard door, and only called out in a soft voice: "Brother Xiang, don't go..."

Interestingly, the woman's eyes when she looked at the door were also vicious in the opposite of her tone.
