At dawn, a team of about 100 people entered Chenghua Mansion from the direction of the South Acropolis.

They are very low-key, they all ride horses, and the horses are well-organized and disciplined.

The two leaders are Lu Yiping and Zhang Yongdian.

Zhang Yongdian squinted at the soldiers in Nan Acropolis who looked at them like thieves, and whispered to Lu Yiping: "Aren't you already on the line with the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why do they want to eat us?"

Lu Yiping chuckled, reached out and stroked his beard, and said: "My peers are all enemies, and the same is true for those who are soldiers. ”

"Understood. Zhang Yongdian nodded, and then stopped talking.

Don't look at the Red Dragon Army that entered the city with Lu Yiping is only a hundred horsemen, they are all the best of the best in the army, either the commander of the ten or the centurion, all of them are skilled, and they are not afraid of death, even Yin Xiang and the injured Lin Xian are among them.

Lu Yiping's arrangement is very ingenious, the fewer people who accompany him, the more he can reflect his respect for the imperial court, but they are all good hands, and they can show the strength of the Red Dragon Army, so they will not be looked down upon.

The horse team slowly passed through the South Acropolis, and finally came to the south gate of Chenghua Mansion, only to see that on the majestic city wall, there were countless soldiers standing guarding the city, and the number of people was far greater than that of the South Acropolis several times.

But these soldiers are all wearing white armor, and even the flags they put out are plain white, and they look like they are mourning someone.

"It's bad luck to be lamented. Zhang Yongdian frowned when he saw this scene.

His temperament is really not very good, or rather, it is like this when he does not pretend to be elegant.

At this time, a man dressed as an officer rode out of the city gate, saluted Lu Yiping with a fist, and said: "The last general has been waiting for Lu Shuai here for a long time under the order of the prime minister." ”

Lu Yiping nodded, said hello, and asked, "Thank you for your hard work, may I ask who these white flags and white armor are paying tribute to?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yiping in surprise, and lowered his voice and said: "Lu Shuai doesn't know? The Zidao people who fought with your Red Dragon Army yesterday died next to the official road, this South Gate guard was once a general under the command of the Duke of Dingshan, and he received a lot of favors from several people of the Zhou family, and he cried after learning the news of the death of the Zidao people from the Dingshan Mansion last night, and immediately asked all the soldiers to put on these white armor. ”

Lu Yiping was a little surprised, and said: "Ben Shuai really didn't know that there was such a thing, that Purple Dao man didn't appear in front of our army yesterday at all, didn't he expect to die?"

"The prime minister instructed me to inform Lu Shuai that two lives were killed in one day, and this matter is very important, and I hope Lu Shuai will explain. The officer said.

"Hahaha. Lu Yiping laughed three times, looked at Zhang Yongdian, and said: "Two lives, except for that Purple Dao person, the other must be half an immortal, do you hear it, you caused trouble Lao Tzu will help you wipe your ass!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Yongdian said angrily: "The head of half of the immortal is still cut off by you! Don't take a shit basin as a hat, you can buckle it if you want?"

"Just kidding, why be serious. Lu Yiping said: "What do you see from this?"

"What do you see? Are you testing me?" Zhang Yongdian said playfully.

"Sort of. Lu Yiping stretched out his hand and stroked the mount: "You are about to become the master of the reincarnation hall, and the scene you will face in the future is not as good as before, and some things have to be clear." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Zhang Yongdian unfolded his fan, blew a cool breeze, and said: "There are a mixture of dragons and snakes in Chenghua Mansion, and they are not as loyal to the imperial court as they seem on the surface, at least this South Gate guard, his loyalty to the Dingshan Gong is far greater than that of the emperor." ”

"Of course, the loyalty of Zhou Hongzhi, the Duke of Dingshan, will never be doubted, with him, his subordinates will not be chaotic, but the position of the Duke of Dingshan is hereditary, and I heard that Zhou Hong has been ill in recent years, ......"

This means that the title of Dingshan Gong is likely to be inherited, but it is rumored that the eldest prince of the Zhou family died early, and it has not been decided whether this public position will be inherited by the eldest grandson or the second son, and no one knows how the next Dingshan Guild will behave. ”

understood that the person's words were stopped, Zhang Yongdian and Lu Yiping looked at each other and smiled, and continued to ride into the city.

......

Imperial City, True Dragon Palace.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The ministers, headed by Han Hui, bowed down to Zhang Yuntao on the dragon chair.

"Zhongqing is flat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After some red tape, the early dynasty began, and Zhang Yunlan rarely went to the court when he was in power, even if he came occasionally, that is, after listening to it, he waved his hand, and slapped his ass to study the book of war.

Zhang Yuntao's dynasty, the young son of heaven, gradually grew up under the condition of Han Hui's careful cultivation and initiative to cede power, and many things can be arbitrarily decided by him, and the edge is already flourishing.

However, the early dynasty is still a torturous thing, Zhang Yuntao would rather give up his rest, in the company of the maids, review the folds, or sit opposite Han Hui, listen to the prime minister talk about the statecraft of the previous day, even if he was dragged by a drunk to practice martial arts, poured two sips of strange wine that actually tasted a little like mud, it was better to come to this early dynasty, listen to these courtiers or long speeches, or generous speeches, or sing praises. I still have to be like Han Islam as a Mingjun saint, the main mind is elegant, and the sea is inclusive......

In short, you have to listen to what they say.

But who hasn't gotten out of bed?

Finally, after nearly an hour, all the ministers who had a book to play ended their admonitions.

Zhang Yuntao breathed a long sigh of relief and said as kindly as possible: "If the Qing family is fine, let's be here this morning." ”

As he spoke, he also gave Han Hui a frantic look.

Didn't you say that you would deal with the affairs of the Dingshan Mansion and the Red Dragon Army today? Prime Minister, speak quickly!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has one more matter. ”

Without waiting for Han Hui to speak, Qiao Wei, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Rites, staggered out.

Seeing that it was this old man, Zhang Yuntao's face turned blue, and Han Hui was also unnatural for a while, they all knew that Qiao Wei, as the most stubborn official in the five divisions and ten departments, wanted to say something.

But after all, Qiao Wei is highly respected, when Han Hui and Yao Shubi joined forces to act, he was a hardcore party, and he admired the former emperor Zhang Yunlan even more, and he was also the first batch of officials in Chenghua Mansion to surrender in the war to abolish the tyrant Zhang Yue, and he can be said to be a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

The patriarch is the patriarch, and when he speaks, you have to listen even more.

Therefore, Zhang Yuntao could only maintain a false smile and said, "Qiao Aiqing, please speak." ”

"Ahem. ”

Qiao Wei first cleared his throat, then reached out and pulled away his pile of beard, and said: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is also nearly eighteen years old, and he has not yet married and established the queen, which is really inappropriate. ”

"The old minister implores Your Majesty to quickly find a daughter of the door and make her the queen in order to settle the country. ”

"This... This ......" Zhang Yuntao was speechless for a while, and said: "I have my own decision, don't bother Aiqing." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Qiao Wei suddenly shouted: "Your marriage is an important weapon of the country, not a private matter! Today is to kill the old minister, and the old minister must also speak out!"

Seeing Qiao Wei like this, all the ministers in the palace were shocked, this old man is really tough.

"Lord Joe's loyalty is evident. ”

Han Hui finally spoke, and Zhang Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this matter is very important, one is to ask His Majesty's wishes, and the other is to find both talent and morality, but the daughter of the mother and the world, it is really not something that we can decide in a few words in the court today. ”

"As you said, the queen's position is the country's important weapon, and since it is a heavy weapon, you need to choose carefully, if you are in a hurry, if you choose someone who is as ill-intentioned as the Yao clan after the abolition of the previous dynasty, because of private abolition, it is not only our sin, but also will make the country suffer, trap my Dayue in a catastrophe. ”

Han Hui said, and couldn't help but apologize to Yao Shubi in his heart.

Guilty of sin, in order to help Zhang Yuntao exonerate, you can only let your righteous sister suffer some more grievances.

Sure enough, after Han Hui's persuasion, Qiao Wei also nodded secretly, feeling that it made sense.

But old decay is old decay, there is not much of anything, and saliva is the most.

"The prime minister is reasonable, it is the old minister who is abrupt, but according to the ancestral system, His Majesty's big wedding, and a direct blood relative of the Son of Heaven is needed to witness the marriage, and the old minister implores His Majesty to bring the old prince from Quanyue Mansion to discuss the matter after the establishment. ”

This "old prince" refers to Zhang Yuntao's father, who is still living in the old mansion of Quanyue Mansion, of course, this "prince" is just a verbal title, and there is no king, let alone the world, in fact, since Zhang Yunlan began to be, in order not to involve his family in the power struggle, Zhang Yunlan has long decided not to let his family move to Chenghuafu, just to provide money and materials, and never seal an official and a half-post.

Zhang Yuntao inherited the position of his deceased brother and also retained this tradition, and he also understood that according to his father's idle and accustomed temperament, it was better to kill him if he was really crowned a king or even respected as the emperor.

"Aiqing, this is not appropriate. Zhang Yuntao refused at the moment: "My father has been unwell recently, and he wrote to me a few days ago, Lang Zhong said that it was a yin and yang imbalance, and he had to slowly recuperate for three years, and he couldn't afford to toss." ”
