After hearing this, King Yan was silent.

Princess Yan looked at King Yan and persuaded bitterly: "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness has always liked Gao Xu and hopes that Gao Xu will be the prince, but Your Highness should not forget that Gao Chi is your eldest son, and he is the son of King Yan!" ”

King Yan sighed.

"Although there is a law in the court, the eldest son must be established, but this king is not an emperor, this king is just a prince, is it... Could it be that this prince of Yan, who should be the king, doesn't count? ”

Princess Yan looked at King Yan and said solemnly: "Of course, it can't be decided by His Royal Highness, everything in the court has laws and rules, if His Royal Highness is allowed to have the final say, wouldn't it be a complete mess?" ”

King Yan saw that Princess Yan had been unwilling to retreat, unwilling to let go, and there was no way.

At this moment, Ma He stood at the door of the palace hall.

"Your Highness, Lord Qitai, the left attendant of the military department, has called someone to deliver the letter, and the imperial grandson will arrive in Beiping to inspect it in the near future."

"The Imperial Grandson?"

King Yan frowned, and suddenly remembered that some time ago, it was rumored that his father and emperor took the imperial grandson Weifu to Kaiyuan in Liaodong for a private visit to find trouble for the twentieth year.

Now it seems that the father and the emperor have left Liaodong, and the father did not come to Beiping, which shows that the father has returned to Yingtianfu first, leaving only the emperor and grandson to come to Beiping to inspect.

It is not uncommon for the imperial grandson to come to Beiping to inspect this matter, but it is a bit strange that the imperial grandson came to Beiping to inspect after following his father to find the trouble of King Han.

Could it be that the emperor's grandson also wants to find trouble for himself?

King Yan turned around, and Princess Yan looked at King Yan and nodded.

"Your Highness, go down!"

King Yan nodded and went to the study, and after a while, a big monk wearing a black monk's robe walked into the study.

This great monk is Yao Guangxiao, the famous black-clothed prime minister in later generations.

"Your Highness, but the imperial grandson is coming to Beiping?"

King Yan nodded.

"Yes, the imperial grandson is coming to Beijing to inspect, but he came to Beiping only after finding the trouble of King Han, and the imperial grandson is not good at coming this time."

After Yao Guangxiao listened, he thought about it carefully, and then laughed.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, so far, there is still no holy decree about His Royal Highness King Han, which means that His Royal Highness King Han has nothing to do in Liaodong."

King Yan said: "King Han has nothing to do does not mean that this king has nothing to do, if the father and the emperor also come, the king will feel at ease, now only the emperor's grandson, this king feels that this matter is strange." ”

"No strange, no strange!"

Yao Guangxiao said and found a seat and sat down.

"The poor monk once heard that His Royal Highness King Han has a preference, that is, he is willing to collect the world's strange things, but the strange things that His Royal Highness King Han thinks are not the same as the gold, silver and jewelry that ordinary people think."

"The strange things that His Royal Highness King Han thinks are food crops and seeds that I don't have in the Ming Dynasty, and after His Royal Highness King Han arrived in Liaodong, he personally led the people to reclaim farmland and divide the use of each piece of land."

"Farm where you should plant, graze where you should graze, hunt where you should hunt, now Liaodong has a weather, the people have plenty of food and clothing, and the family has surplus food, His Royal Highness King Han is really wise!"

King Yan turned his head.

"Since the old twenty has such great ability, why does the imperial grandson still go to the trouble of the old twenty, and say that he moved his father to go with him?"

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Han has indeed done something wrong, that is, he has not told the truth, and has been lying to His Majesty about the bitter cold of the border pass in eastern Liaodong all these years, and the people are hungry and clothed. ”

"The poor monk thinks that the emperor's brocade guards are all over the world, and Liaodong must also have the eyes and ears of the brocade guards, so the emperor knows the true situation in Liaodong."

"The poor monk has never come into contact with His Royal Highness King Han, so I don't know what His Royal Highness King Han's ability is? But presumably, His Royal Highness King Han also knows that Liaodong has the emperor's eyes and ears, and he may have done this on purpose. ”

"Deliberately?" King Yan suddenly understood: "It turns out that the old twenty is deliberate, one thing on the surface and one behind the other, but in fact, he is not afraid that his father will know about it." ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "Yes, the poor monk found out after some investigation that His Royal Highness King Han was only eleven years old when he fell into the domain, and he went to the bitter cold land alone, and there was no relatives around him. ”

King Yan laughed when he heard this.

"The old twenty has a good ability to govern the people, but he is still a child's temper."

Yao Guangxiao responded: "Exactly, His Royal Highness King Han plays a child's temper, so this time His Majesty personally went to Liaodong and saw the prosperity of Liaodong, and when he remembered that His Royal Highness King Han was in the domain, he was only eleven years old, so how could he have the heart to continue to blame." ”

"So, this time the grandson came to Beiping, most of it was to inspect it, and by the way, he had a good relationship with His Highness, to put it bluntly, it was to win over His Highness, after all, he will ascend the throne in the future, and the peace of Northern Xinjiang still needs His Highness to guard."

King Yan was relieved.

"In that case, then the king will be relieved."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "Your Highness can't be completely assured, after all, it is the grandson who came in person, and the grandson is the prince of the country, Your Highness must be cautious, don't be too prestigious!" ”

King Yan smiled and didn't take this to heart.

"Master, please rest assured, this king still remembers the difference between monarchs and ministers."

Yao Guangxiao nodded, but there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if there was something else that he hadn't considered.

……

On the second day, His Royal Highness King Yan personally went out of the city to lead the third son and officials at all levels in Beiping, and the Yamen of the Imperial Department to greet the imperial grandson outside the city of Beiping.

The frame of the imperial grandson came to the gate of Beiping, and the accompanying eunuch sang loudly: "His Royal Highness the imperial grandson has arrived, kneel!" ”

Officials at all levels in Peiping knelt down one after another, chanting in their mouths.

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The curtain of the imperial grandson's carriage was opened, and he slowly walked out of the carriage.

After seeing King Yan, a smile appeared on his face, and then under the service of others, he got out of the car and drove to King Yan.

King Yan saluted and said: "The minister Zhu Di and his three sons see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!" ”

King Yan said that he was about to bow down, but Zhu Yunwen's eyes were quick and he helped the fourth uncle.

"King Yan, please get up!"

King Yan glanced up at the imperial grandson, and he was not pretentious, so he stood up on the donkey downhill.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Then Zhu Yunwen smiled and held Yan Wang's hand and pulled Yan Wang into the car.

The emperor's grandson drove slowly into Beiping City, which is indeed much larger than Kaiyuan City.

The emperor got up in the car and knelt down to King Yan, who hurriedly supported the emperor and looked scared.

"Your Highness must not, Your Highness has such a big gift, how dare the minister accept it?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at King Yan and smiled.

"Fourth uncle, my nephew is doing a family ceremony, and the emperor's grandfather specially explained, in private, we are a family, and the family gift must not be missing."
