Father-in-law Hong was very happy when he heard that Huang Zhang was finally ready to set off.

Since he followed Huang Zhang over, there has not been a day without worrying, he is a father-in-law, where has he seen the battlefield so closely, and it is already very powerful not to be scared to death.

However, the Beijing army was in a difficult situation before, and Gonggong Hong wanted to leave, but he couldn't open his mouth.

This time, in addition to Cen Shang and Grandpa Hong, there are also Fan Lingfeng and Ban Hong, as well as a very special character, Xi Kai!

Cen Shang knew that Fan Lingfeng and Ban Hong were Huang Zhang's people, and he was not the slightest surprise, he had already seen the ability of this great prince during this time, and it was not uncommon for him to have followers.

It stands to reason that Xi Kai is the one who came over to Chengcheng, but this problem comes, the person he took refuge in is Huang Zhang, not Suo Yan.

And in Xi Kai's opinion, Suo Yan's ability is not good, he doesn't think that the fall of the anti-thief army is Suo Yan's credit, and now that Huang Zhang is leaving, he must follow Huang Zhang.

In fact, there is another reason, now that most of the leaders of the anti-thief army have been arrested by Suo Yan, as the original Marshal of Pingtian, if he stays by Suo Yan's side, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be plotted by him, and then he will be the object of invitation.

Xi Kai didn't believe Suo Yan, so he preferred to follow Huang Zhang.

"Your Highness, although you have just defeated those rebels, the few major counties that have been affected by the rebels have not yet recovered, why did Your Highness leave in such a hurry?" Fan Lingfeng was puzzled.

He didn't understand why Huang Zhang chose to leave at this juncture, this time was the best time to win the hearts of the people, and this time was also the best time to make achievements, plus Huang Zhang had experience in this area, it was the best thing for him to be responsible for the restoration of people's livelihood in several major counties.

He didn't understand why Huang Zhang didn't seize this opportunity and chose to leave in a hurry, which was not in his interest.

Hearing this, Huang Zhang smiled.

Fan Lingfeng is good at everything, and his brain is flexible, but the only drawback is that he lacks a sense of the overall situation, and only cares about the gains and losses in front of him.

Of course, this is also related to his experience over the years, after all, as an agent of Tianmen, he wants to fight for a little profit.

"It's very easy to stay and govern the counties that have been plagued by the anti-thief army, and the harvest is definitely not small, but have you ever thought about it? If I do that, what substantial benefit will I bring other than a false good name? The people of these counties cannot be used by me like the three counties of Sunan, and when the time comes, when I enter Kyoto with the title of loving the people like a son, I am afraid that it will be a disaster! ”

Now in Kyoto, he has not made it clear who is an enemy and who is a friend, and it would be unwise to rashly set up a banner of love for the people for himself.

The current Huang Zhang wants to be low-key.

"Why does that boy have to go around so much and delay for so long?" Hu Yier was puzzled.

They came over this time, and they lost a lot of time, which made Hu Yier incomprehensible.

In this regard, Huang Zhang just smiled and did not explain.

There are some things that cannot be said explicitly.

Starting from Licheng, within a few days, the group left Zhongping County.

Out of Nakahira County, in order to reach Kyoto faster, Huang Zhang decided to take the waterway and go up the river from the Sichuan River to Kyoto.

To take the waterway, the nearest ferry port is Yunxia Ferry, which is not far away.

Yunxia Ferry is the largest ferry port in Chen County, and because Chen County has not suffered from military disasters, it seems to be peaceful here.

It's the peaceful appearance that Huang Zhang hasn't seen for a long time.

It's just that Chenjun is close to the Gyeonggi area, so it is inevitable to see nobles dressed in fancy clothes and beggars in unclothed clothes.

The closer you are to Kyoto, the more pronounced this gap between rich and poor becomes.

The money that those rich people with good intentions casually scattered is enough for a common people's family to eat and dress for a year.

Seeing this scene, Cen Shang explained to Huang Zhang: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince may not know, this is the norm, and the closer you get to Kyoto, the more common such a norm is. ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the gap between the rich and the poor is so big?" Ban Hong on the side couldn't help but complain.

He is an authentic Sunan person, he has been in Sunan for a long time, and he has seen a lot of poor people, but he is still rare to see a rich man who sells a few taels of silver at hand like this.

Cen Shang said disapprerovingly: "When you get to Kyoto, you will see even more outrageous pictures than this!" ”

"More outrageous?"

"The rich boy in Kyoto can spend a lot of money for an Oiran Mansion, in the capital, you can step into any Fengyue place, you will definitely be able to see those masters who are entangled in the family, and in their eyes, money is just a number at most."

After speaking, Cen Shang glanced at Huang Zhang.

"Of course, no matter how arrogant they are, when they see His Royal Highness the Great Prince, they still have to retreat."

Although Cen Shang was the commander of the forbidden army, before becoming the commander of the forbidden army, he also spent time in the Kyoto city defense camp, and he still had some understanding of the atmosphere in the capital.

The Kyoto Castle Defense Camp is the most boring, as long as something happens on the street, the unlucky ones are definitely those who are soldiers.

After all, if you dare to cause trouble in Kyoto, who doesn't have a person with a background, maybe you arrest someone today, and tomorrow they will leave with a swagger in front of you. The point is that you can't do anything about him, and you are extremely aggrieved.

Everyone thinks that the city defense camp is beautiful, but only those who are inside can experience the sourness and astringency.

Fortunately, he is now the commander of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is different, in addition to taking care of the safety of the imperial city, he is doing things for the royal family like now.

If there is any of these uneyed rich boys who should provoke them, it will be okay to cut them directly.

Their forbidden army represents the majesty of the royal family, not something that those young people in the capital can offend.

However, the one who jumped into the forbidden army from the city defense camp has been the only one for so many years, and that's it, he almost didn't come in.

One can imagine how difficult it is for this forbidden army to enter!

"In short, as His Royal Highness, when I arrived in Kyoto, these are just small roles."

In this regard, Huang Zhang just smiled.

Everyone thinks that the capital is his territory, but only Huang Zhang knows that this capital is not easy to mix.

He can remember clearly how the second child died, since the other party dared to make a move on the second child, naturally there was no shortage of him.

He didn't set his sights on those Second Ancestors.

After arriving at Yunxia Ferry, Cen Shang asked the officials of Yunxia Ferry to find a boat for them.

Hearing that it was the eldest prince who wanted to use it, the officials of Yunxia Ferry lined up to meet him one by one.

In the hearts of these officials, the second prince has just suffered misfortune, and now the eldest prince is going to return to Beijing immediately, doesn't this reveal a message?

If you don't take the opportunity to befriend the eldest prince now, won't you wait for the eldest prince to become the emperor before showing his loyalty?

Besides, Huang Zhang now has the reputation of only one great prince, and when he returns to Kyoto and is appointed to an official position by His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that they will not be qualified to see him.
