Wei Ruo poked his head out of the carriage: "Go back to the capital." ”

"Ruoruo, didn't I tell you that you can't go to the capital? It's very dangerous in the capital now, why are you still ......?"

"Yingying, I have something I have to do, even if it's dangerous."

"But you're going to die......"

"Yingying, there are some things that we can't escape, and facing them is a better way to solve the problem than running away." Wei Ruo's gaze was firm.

Xie Ying frowned and stared at Wei Ruo.

Looking at Wei Ruo's firm eyes, after pondering for a while, Xie Ying finally chose to believe Wei Ruo.

"You have an idea, since you have said so, then I won't ask more, just remember to be careful in everything." Xie Ying said.

Wei Ruo smiled and replied, "Well, don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

Fan Chengxu, who was on the side, looked at the team of Wei Ruo and his entourage, his eyebrows were deep, and he asked, "Are the princes and princesses only taking these people on this trip?" ”

"We are going back to Beijing for the funeral, how many people do we need?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

Fan Chengxu said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, if you go to the capital like this, I'm afraid that this trip will have to go and there will be no return." ”

"Why did Boss Fan say this?" Wei Ruo asked.

Fan Chengxu said: "I know that Princess Rui's father, Lord Wei, and her brother-in-law Lord Xu both have heavy troops, but don't forget, one of them is far away in the southeast, and the other is far away in the northeast, and the army under their command is not allowed to leave their posts without the emperor's order, and even if they dare to lead the army back to Beijing, they will not be able to save the fire from the distance for a while, and they will not be able to protect the two of you." ”

"You're right, they really can't leave Beijing at will." Wei Ruo agreed, and then asked, "Why does Boss Fan think that we need the protection of the army when we return to Beijing this time?" ”

Fan Chengxu said in a deep voice: "Why should Princess Rui pretend to be stupid with me? If you want to go back to Beijing, you must go for that person. Emperor Daxing has died since seven days, when we arrived in Jiliao, King Jing has completed the succession before the Ling, temporarily in charge of the court, and then only need to wait for Qintian to supervise the auspicious day, after 27 days of filial piety, the enthronement ceremony can be officially the emperor. Now, if you two still want to pull him down from that position, you can't solve it by force. ”

Immediately afterwards, Fan Chengxu introduced to Wei Ruo: "The current capital is already under Chu Lan's control, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Imperial City Forbidden Army are currently under Chu Lan's command. ”

"The commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and the commander of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division are Chu Lan."

"The commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division is Tan Rufeng, a member of the Tan family of the Northwest family, three years ago, the emperor borrowed grain from the Tan family, as a grace, and gave several sons of the Tan family official positions, of which Tan Rufeng is one of them, and last year he became the commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division."

"Yu Dongshan, the commander of the Xicheng Terracotta Division, was born in a reckless manner, in his early years under the command of General Lu Lao, and was promoted by General Lu Lao, he has been commanding the Xicheng Terracotta Division for ten years, and he is the oldest one among several commanders."

"Fan Xiu, the commander of the Beicheng Terracotta Division, is a member of my Fan clan, and he is my cousin in terms of seniority. My Fan family has always advanced and retreated together, for my uncle is the head of the horse, my uncle's original supporter was King Yu, after the fall of the Qi family, my uncle began to wait and see, and finally leaned towards King Jing among the King of Jing, King Yu and King Qin. ”

"Han Jin, the commander of the forbidden army, was originally the commander of the Shenshu Battalion, and was transferred by order of Emperor Daxing three years ago. This man kept a low profile and had not been involved in a struggle for imperial power before. ”

"The above-mentioned five city soldiers and horses and the forbidden army are the six most important soldiers and horses in the imperial city today, and now they have all been transferred to King Jing and King Jing. May I ask if King Rui and the king have a way to deal with this? ”

After Fan Chengxu's explanation, Wei Ruo's expression was calm and asked, "Does he have an edict to succeed to the throne before the spirit?" ”

"Emperor Daxing died suddenly, and his edict has not been found yet."

"Can the court's important ministers obey him?" Wei Ruo asked again.

Fan Chengxu was silent for a long time and gave a vague answer: "He has lost people's hearts in recent years. ”

Wei Ruodao: "Then go, go to my father Dai Xiao." ”

Fan Chengxu said something, but Wei Ruo didn't seem to listen to anything.

Fan Chengxu frowned, and said after a long time: "In this way, let it be you." ”

###

From Jiliao back to the capital, in the case of carriages and luggage with large troops, this section of the road was originally half a month's journey, this trip is expedited, faster than usual.

But after all, it couldn't compare to the speed of eight hundred miles, and it was not as fast as Fan Xie and the others on horseback, and it took Wei Ruo and his party eight days to arrive in the capital.

After the emperor died, the people who came to Jiliao to deliver the letter were urgent, and they arrived in Jiliao on the third day, and then they were left to dry for two days, Wei Ruo and his party set off on the fourth day, and traveled for eight days, and today is the sixteenth day after the emperor's death.

The journey was fairly safe, and there were no thieves and bandits.

As soon as he entered the capital from the east gate, he was blocked by a group of officers and soldiers.

King Rui and his wife were going back to Beijing, and the capital naturally got the news early.

Before they set off, they also let the eunuch who had gone to Jiliao to deliver the decree come back first.

Wei Ruo was lying in the carriage, holding Brother Yan'er, who was sleeping heavily, listening to the movement outside, his face was calm.

She believed in the second brother, and since the second brother had decided to come back, he would naturally not be unprepared.

All she has to do is to cooperate with the second brother to finish what she needs to do as an identity, and she doesn't need to worry about the rest.

After a while, the carriage marched again, but did not stop when it arrived at the gate of the Rui Wang's Mansion in the capital, but continued to move forward, heading towards the palace.

Wei Ruo guessed that it should be someone sent by Chu Lan who stopped them just now, and planned to directly integrate them into the palace.

It seems that they have no time to rest, and the fight is about to begin.

After entering the palace, the carriage stopped, and Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also got out of the car.

The two of them had already changed into filial piety clothes, and they were dressed plainly, even Brother Yan who was holding Wei Ruo in his arms was no exception.

As soon as a few people stood still, they saw Mama Qin who was waiting for Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo and Mama Qin are also old acquaintances, when they were in Taizhou Mansion, Chu Lan sent Mama Qin to connect with Wei Ruo on matters related to the development of wasteland.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Mama Qin's face also flashed a little strange, but soon she returned to normal, and said to Wei Ruo expressionlessly: "Princess Niangniang, the female dependents are now at Concubine Hui, and I also invite the princess Niangniang to come with the slaves." ”

Concubine Hui, when Emperor Daxing was there, Concubine Hui had been in the cold palace, and now that Emperor Daxing has died in just a few days, she is the one who holds the power of the harem.

"Okay, please lead the way."

Wei Ruo happily agreed, handed over Brother Yan in his arms to Wei Jinyi, and then followed Mama Qin's footsteps to the harem. (End of chapter)
