In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, on the fifth day of August, Lan Yuan entered Xi'an alone.

The wind and dust along the way did not dampen the hope in his heart, and the fire called ambition became brighter and brighter in the darkness.

Lan Yuan is not willing to live under the people for a long time, as the righteous son of Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, he wants to be the strongest among them!

It was because of this idea that he refused to take up a position in the army, and instead stayed by Lan Yu's side to advise him.

Lan Yuan has an extremely accurate judgment of the current situation, and he firmly believes that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, the identity of Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, will be more noble.

At that time, among the entire Huaixi nobles, they will be respected by the Duke of Liangguo.

And he, his identity will naturally rise with the tide, maybe with a little operation, he can also mix with a Hou.

This is not Lan Yuan's idea of a fool's dream, he knows too much about his father-in-law's temperament.

Those righteous sons who have already served in the army seem to have a noble status and shout at them, but in fact they have gradually distanced themselves from their father-in-law.

And he, who has always followed his stepfather Lan Yu, as long as he finds an opportunity and leads the troops to the battle, he can rise to the top and get rid of the embarrassing situation he is in now.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and all kinds of plans disappeared when the prince Zhu Biaoxu died.

When he learned that the crown prince Zhu Biaoxu had passed away, Lan Yuan felt a monstrous wave in his heart, his surprise was not weaker than that of Lan Yu, and the sadness in his heart also surged out instantly.

The death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only completely disappeared the talisman of Liangguo Gong Lanyu, but also the talisman of the entire Huaixi Xungui Group.

Lan Yuan felt frightened, the tree above him collapsed, and the scorching sun shone down again, filling his heart with uneasiness and fear.

In the middle of the night, Lan Yuan woke up many times and subconsciously touched his neck.

He dreamed that soon after, the emperor's butcher's knife fell, and his head was lightly plucked off and thrown into a mass grave.

His stepfather, with reluctance and despair, was skinned, robbed of his title, and destroyed his bloodline.

Under the full house of wealth, it is a thin life like catkins, and it is ridiculous that other righteous sons still don't know, and they are dreaming of glory and wealth.

Even his father-in-law, Liangguo Gong Lanyu, doesn't seem to understand that the situation has changed, and he is still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even has many taboo words.

Lan Yuan watched all this clearly, but he was powerless to stop it, and could only hope that the emperor would not appoint the emperor's grandson as the crown prince.

Whether Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Yunxi was canonized as the crown prince, they could not control the increasingly arrogant Huaixi nobles, which was bound to cause a wide-ranging purge.

It seems that God heard Lan Yuan's prayer, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was canonized as the crown prince, which made Lan Yuan breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's not that he admires and worships King Yan, it's just that King Yan was canonized as the crown prince, and His Majesty's butcher's knife may not be raised too quickly.

Moreover, if King Yan is established, King Qin and King Jin will naturally not be satisfied, and after a hundred years of His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely fall into turmoil.

Even, there is no need for His Majesty to be a hundred years, since King Yan was established as the crown prince, the open and secret battles have begun, and various means will emerge in an endless stream.

Lan Yuan keenly smelled the depression of the coming storm, so he persuaded his father-in-law Lan Yu to restrain his temper and not mess around, and at the same time went to Xi'an in person, preparing to use the power of King Qin to completely muddy the pool of water in the Ming Dynasty!

The more chaotic the Ming Dynasty is, Lan Yuan will naturally be able to grab more benefits from it, whether it is to go further or retreat bravely, he has a certain initiative.

What Lan Yuan wants to do is undoubtedly a big gamble, but this is a struggle made by a person who is interested in fame and fortune when there is no way out.

However, God played a huge joke with him.

When he entered Xi'an alone, took the tokens and letters of his father-in-law Lan Yu, and wanted to meet Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, he learned a very bad news.

King Qin was seriously ill and could no longer afford to see guests, and under the diagnosis and treatment of many famous doctors, there was no improvement in the slightest.

At this moment, Lan Yuan once again deeply felt that people are not as good as heaven.

Even if the crown prince Zhu Biaoxu died, why is it only a few months, and even Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is seriously ill together? He was even dying of breath and was about to die.

Lan Yuan scolded his mother in his heart, and at the same time had a glimmer of hope.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, has a complete medical team, and perhaps those famous doctors can cure him and regain his strength.

With this glimmer of hope, Lan Yuan chose to stay in Xi'an and waited for news from King Qin's mansion.

Then, early this morning, Lan Yuan noticed that the Qin Wangfu was wrapped in plain clothes, and the entire Xi'an was dressed in white.

The worst happened, after all, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was weak and died of illness on the couch, swallowing a breath of unwilling despair.

Although Lan Yuan had already thought a little in his heart, when this situation really appeared, he still fell into silence and deep helplessness.

As soon as Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, died, he directly disrupted the plan he had painstakingly thought out in the past few days, which was equivalent to someone directly overturning the chessboard, leaving him with nowhere to go.

In desperation, Lan Yuan had to take up the idea of King Zhu Li of Jin, but compared to King Qin, King Jin was not a good partner.

Just as he was thinking, the door was violently slammed open, and he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man grinning at him with his teeth bared.

Lan Yuan's eyes fell, and when he saw the familiar brocade clothes embroidered with spring knives, his heart was cold, and the person who came was Jinyiwei.

The most terrifying eagle dog in the Ming Dynasty, a nightmare that countless people feared.

Although Jin Yiwei had already come to the door to get someone, Lan Yuan still planned to die and refused to admit it, and forced himself to defend himself: "Who are you?" Why did you break into my room, could it be that there is no royal law like this? ”

"Lan Yuan, the prince of Liangguo, Lan Yuyizi, left Yingtian at three o'clock on the first day of August and went straight to Xi'an, I'm right."

was told by Jin Yiwei's identity, Lan Yuan's heart suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he didn't admit it, and said: "I don't know what you're talking about, please leave quickly, otherwise I will report to the government." ”

He moved slowly to the window, staring at the person who came, like a trapped beast in a cage, and when he touched the edge of the window, Lan Yuan did not hesitate at all, and jumped down from the window.

As the righteous son of Lan Yu's side, Lan Yuan followed Lan Yu to fight in the south and north, not a weak scholar, on the contrary, he was strong and fast, jumping from the second floor, and landed safely with a roll.

Then, he glanced around, and quickly ran towards the left wall, which was outside the East Market, and it was suitable to get out.

Easily went up the wall, turned over, and landed, Lan Yuan's movements were done in one go, like a vigorous ape, and his movements were quite beautiful.

As soon as he landed, not far from Lan Yuan, there was a young man with a playful face standing in front of him, biting a piece of grass in his mouth.

He was suddenly startled in his heart, and was about to burrow into the crowd, but unexpectedly, a hand suddenly pressed his shoulder, and the young man had hooked his back at some point.

"Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Jiang Xuan, I have seen the righteous son of Liangguo, and I also ask Prince Lan Yuan, don't embarrass the villain."
