Ten miles outside the city of Yongning.

A group of people galloped quickly, but a hundred horses, but all of them were dressed in bright gold and bright light armor, and the momentum was majestic, so that the courtiers who had to wait outside the city to greet them were faintly frightened.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Yong."

The courtiers led by Wang Gongmao, the secretary of the Chinese book, were frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Li Yan was dressed in a purple and gold suit, with a king sword hanging from his waist, standing on the back of a horse, and smiling lightly, "It's all old when you are young, so you don't need to be polite." ”

The courtiers thanked him and straightened up, and Wang Gongmao took a step forward and said lightly: "The Holy Lord has ordered someone to sweep the Xihe Palace, please move the king and enter the palace for a while." ”

Li Yan waved his hand, turned his head to Li Yan and said, "Yan'er, you can go by yourself, and you can go to the palace for a banquet later." ”

Li Yan responded respectfully, and then his face was cold, and he waved his hand with the elite of the hundred horses, directly past the courtiers, and ran towards Yongning City first.

Everyone was stunned, Li Yan chuckled and said: "Yan'er grew up in Yongning since he was a child, and after a seven-year absence, he misses his old friend in his heart, and let him go to play by himself, don't pay attention to it." ”

When Wang Gongmao and the others heard this, they couldn't say anything, and a group of people surrounded Li Yan, who was only alone, and slowly walked to the Xihe Palace.

The four palaces of Beining, Dongding, Nan'an, and Xihe are actually the palaces and palaces of the four kings in Beijing.

They were built on the left and right sides of the Daqin Imperial Palace.

In the past, many children of the royal family and subordinate officials, chamberlains, and palace maids sent by the four places lived in Beijing and took care of the princes in Beijing.

But since seven years ago, there has not been a single person in these four palaces who has been idle for many years.

Today, after a lapse of seven years, the palace in Beijing has another master to set foot in.

"Your Majesty has a heart." Li Yan, who stepped into the Xihe Palace, looked at his childhood hometown that was still the same as before, and he was also a little emotional, and then said lightly.

Wang Gongmao and others did not answer.

If they greet King An and King Ding, then they will definitely take the opportunity to show one or two, saying something like 'the Holy Lord and the Great King are like siblings, the land is far away and difficult to tell, often miss, order people to maintain and repair from time to time, and look forward to recounting when it is still less', no one takes it seriously, and then they talk a bunch of nonsense, and they are vain.

But in the face of King Yong and King Ning, they didn't dare.

The latter in this situation, may directly raise their fists and scold in their mouths, they are all their villains and ministers, and they have ruined their brotherhood, so that they have not seen each other for many years, and there are many misunderstandings, and then give them a fat beating, first relax and relax.

The former, no one knows if they will become the words that Li Yan holds in his hand, which seems to be an understatement, he can carry a gun and a stick, and when talking to Emperor Taihe, give them some eye medicine to sow discord.

Zi is like a tiger, Li Yan is like a fox, one is strong and domineering, the other is cunning and gloomy, when he was still a son, it was also a well-known thing in Yongning, especially the people who grew up with their peers, and they have a deep memory.

Ordinary may be forgotten a little, but as soon as I saw that familiar face, I found that the memories of the past were extraordinarily profound.

"Brother Zizhi, do you still remember this tree."

However, they didn't want to speak, but they couldn't stand Li Yan's name.

I saw Li Yan looking completely reminiscing about the past, stretching out his hand and pointing to a lonely big apricot tree next to the wall, and asked Wang Gongmao with a smile.

Wang Gongmao could only smile back with an exclamation and said, "Naturally remember." At that time, the saint was the prince at the beginning, and his daily studies were heavy, and it was difficult to even take half a step out of the palace gate. You and King Ning dug up the road stones in front of the East Palace, built a flower bed, and dug up this apricot tree from the Imperial Garden and planted it. Afterwards, he was reprimanded by the emperor, so he had to transplant it here, and often brought the saint to climb the tree to pick apricots and catch insects. ”

He didn't just know about it, but the courtiers present were also very aware of it.

This tree not only witnessed the youthful youth of Emperor Taihe and Li Jian, but they were also the same.

At that time, Li Yan and Ziyi, who were one or two years older than them, were the child kings in Beijing, and they were all younger brothers who could read and play with them.

It's just that the old trees are still there, and the people are still there, but it can't be the same anymore.

Some choices are not made now, but are decided as early as the separation of young people.

Just when Wang Gongmao's words fell, Qingshu started, Li Jian slashed down with a sword, and the sword qi was revealed, and the thick old tree was instantly cut off by the waist and collapsed to the ground.

Wang Gongmao and the others were stunned again, and their hearts were shaken.

In their opinion, this move is Li Yan's attitude on this trip, he is here for a showdown!

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion not too far away, at the door of a magnificent mansion, the halberd was cut off, the door plaque was picked to the ground, the shadow wall was smashed from it, and the hundred horsemen and golden armor rushed into the mansion.

In front of the gate of the Xihe Palace, a bunch of courtiers were shocked and heard the prestige, only to feel even more shocked, their hearts were sluggish, and they were all stupid on the spot for a while.

Wang Gongmao, who was almost slapped under him by the old tree, was already shocked, and when he looked at it again, he was even more dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Li Yan stiffly.

Li Yan, who had already put his sword back into the sheath, still smiled like a warm spring breeze: "Your Majesty asked me to come to Beijing to vent my anger, and this king just did what he wanted." As for this tree, this king is going to bring it back to Yonghe, ask a famous craftsman to carve it into a piano, I don't know if I can return to Yongning in this life, so I will pretend to be the sound of the piano, Liao comforts it. ”

Ren Wang Gongmao and the others had a lot of thoughts, but they didn't expect that Li Yan would come to such a set of words and directly block their mouths.

At the moment, he was speechless, and at the same time, he looked at the shadow wall shattering to the ground, and there was a collapsed Yanguo Mansion in the mansion from time to time, and he was silent for a moment.

After all, it was not too far away, and after a while, the palace had already received the news, Emperor Taihe was slightly stunned, then laughed, got up and drove, and came to the front of the Xihe Palace in a short time.

"Wait for the Holy Lord!"

"See Your Majesty."

Wang Gongmao and other courtiers and the crowd of onlookers who watched these two new scenes saw the royal car in person, ran away, and saluted.

Li Yan is the same, he made a salute in a serious manner, and there was nothing out of line.

Emperor Taihe Yingmin strode forward, helped Li Yan, and said, "Brother Wang called me to wait, and it also opened my eyes." ”

Li Yan said: "Since I got His Majesty's reply, I haven't delayed for a moment, I have traveled day and night, hurry up, and take a good breath of evil in my heart!" It's just that my Daqin area is too extensive, so I finally let Your Majesty stay for a long time, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins. ”

"It's just a joke. Brother Wang has been away for many years, but he has lost a lot of past fun. Emperor Taihe waved his hand and said again: "Brother Wang will follow me into the palace for a while, or will I enter the Xihe Palace again to sit idle?" ”

Although it was an inquiry, but the words fell, Emperor Taihe had already walked towards the Xihe Palace.

Li Yan followed, and the two walked side by side, pointing to everywhere in the palace, laughing and talking about the past.

Mu Cheng stood at the palace gate, blocked everyone's footsteps, and shook his head at everyone.

All kinds of thoughts in everyone's hearts were frequent, but their faces gathered together in three or five and continued to look at the excitement not far away.

Emperor Taihe and Li Yan approached the garden with ease and sat down in the pavilion.

The former looked around and sighed: "Since seven years ago, Beijing has not been as lively as it is today for a long time. It's just a pity that only Brother Wang and I are here, and they are still lonely. ”

Li Yan said indifferently: "If Your Majesty has a heart, Jingzhong will be the same." ”

Emperor Taihe sighed: "Where is it so easy. Now that the North Law is on the border, and the South Rin is also watching, ready to move, how can I easily recall all the royal brothers back to the capital, so that there is no one in charge of the foreign government. ”

Li Jin sneered and replied: "The Quartet has done a good job over the years, I'll just wait for a bunch of idleness, how important it is." ”

Emperor Taihe raised his eyebrows and looked, "Brother Wang, this is a grudge against me." ”

However, Li Yan shook his head as if he didn't care at all, "I can't talk about resentment, but I'm a little angry." If you weren't the emperor, what would have been smashed today would not be the Yanguo Mansion, but your East Palace. ”

"Hahaha!" Taihe Dilang laughed, his eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at Li Yan, "Then why don't you smash the Imperial Palace, wouldn't it be even more painful!" ”

Li Jin also looked back, and said without giving in: "Because it is not only your bedroom and court, but also the place where all the people of Daqin look up and all their hearts gather, how can it be humiliated." ”

"Yingji, this palace, this world, has never been just yours, let alone a plaything you can learn from. How long are you going to be willful! Do you really think that one day, someone will overturn this Qionglou, and you will be able to wake up completely? ”

Emperor Taihe, who was pointed at his nose and scolded him, his expression calmed down, "It's still this virtue as an eldest brother, you have been like this since you were a child, Brother Wang, are you very happy to reprimand discipline and me?" ”

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and then he said: "I don't have any leisure, I was entrusted by the emperor when I was young, and now I just want to leave dignity for each other." ”

Emperor Taihe was silent for a moment and said, "So, Brother Wang is here to give me an ultimatum for war?" ”

Li Yan nodded, "You can think so." It's useless to say more, let's just see how the battle in the Northland turns out. If you have no heart or power to stop the enemy, then we will do it ourselves. Don't forget, this great Qinjiang Mountain is also our ancestral foundation. ”

"But you're all losers throughout." Emperor Taihe said with a starful eye: "This was the case when Taizu was in power, and now I should be in power, and it is still like this!" ”

"Instead of looking at your hypocrisy and forbearance, and clumsy acting, it is better to level the carriage and horses, and let me beat you again!"

Li Yan looked at him and was silent for a long time, he had thought a lot, but he never thought that Ying Min was holding this thought.

But I heard Emperor Taihe say again: "Brother Wang has been smart since he was a child, he should understand the prosperity and decline, the Great Qin Kingdom Zuo for more than 350 years, the emperor divided the internal and external, and the nobles under their respective accounts are like clouds, which has become a stubborn disease, and the four kings are not removed, the honors are difficult to clear, and the gate valve is difficult to destroy." Why not start this war and extend the prosperity for another hundred years. ”

"I see." Li Yan's heart was shocked, and he looked at Emperor Taihe in astonishment.

He didn't know where Ying Min got such confidence, but he just understood that a battle for the emperor was inevitable no matter what.

"Goodbye on the battlefield." With a light word, Li Yan got up and left.

Emperor Taihe's voice came from behind, "Brother Wang, I actually really want to help you all recall Jingzhong, it's just another way." ”

"I believe it." Li Yan replied and strode away.

On that day, King Yong and his entourage rode a hundred horses, came in a hurry, and hurried away, in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that they were really angry.
