"When...... When ......" majestic bells rang through the palace.

As soon as the sky was bright, the ministers held the court wat in their hands and entered from the east side of the palace gate.

In the courtroom, everyone talked a lot.

"Have you heard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on his way back to Beijing. ”

"In this battle of Yangshan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually captured the king of Nan Zhennan of Beining, which is really a miracle. ”

"No, how did I hear that His Royal Highness the Second Highness sent someone to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a gold medal order arrow. ”

"I've also heard that there are people involved in it. ”

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, what kind of system is this? ”

At this time, the chief eunuch walked in and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to go to court, don't chew your tongue here." ”

The ministers hurriedly closed their mouths and walked out of the room towards the Taiji Hall.

A great deed that should have been celebrated, but in this court, it quietly changed its taste. In these days when the prince went out of Beijing, some things have also changed subtly.

A few days later, the north gate of Zhongjing City.

Led by the second prince Ji Lie, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered here to welcome the prince back to Beijing.

Thousands of tigers rode to escort the prince back to Beijing all the way. The gongs and drums open the way, the flags are displayed, the hundred officials kneel to welcome, and the mountains call for a thousand years, which is more prosperous than when they go out of Beijing.

"Congratulations to the imperial brother, this time out of Beijing, not only solved the secret account case, but also captured the king of the south of Beining Town, and made immortal achievements. Ji Lie knelt down and bowed.

Ji Yubing lifted the bead curtain, stepped down from the leather wheel, helped Ji Lie up and said: "I am not in Beijing these days, and I have worked hard to assist my father and emperor in handling court affairs. ”

The two brothers, who had never been at odds in the past, actually talked with each other this time, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"This time the emperor's brother Yangshan is in distress, and the Taishi Chen Jing's case of treason against the enemy is also closely related, my father specially ordered that after the emperor's brother returns to Beijing, you will preside over the trial, and the Zhongjing Mansion and the Three Law Divisions will co-organize. Ji Lie said.

"Well, I know, where Chen Jing is being held now, I want to see him. Ji Yubing asked.

He couldn't understand why Chen Jing was in a high position, his father and son had served in the court for many years, and his holy favor was unfailing, why he would embark on this desperate road, he had to ask it face to face.

After entering the palace and resuming his life to meet the emperor, the first thing Ji Yubing did was to come to the prison of Dali Temple, where Chen Jingzheng was imprisoned.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, who do you want to see, just send someone to inform you that you are not here, why are you here in person. The warden nodded and said.

Ji Yubing walked all the way to the innermost prison, which is used to hold felons. There are no windows, no sunlight all day long, and only one meal a day is provided to ensure that the prisoners are alive.

A disheveled, frail old man was huddled in a corner of the cell. Ji Yubing couldn't believe that this was the former first-class master who covered the sky with one hand, and Chen Jing, the imperial master.

He stood outside the prison, looked at Chen Jing, and sighed.

Chen Jing couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this sigh. When he saw that it was the prince standing in front of him, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Master Chen, why did you come to such a dead end. In fact, if you keep to yourself, I will definitely let you live out your old age in peace. Ji Yubing said.

Seeing that Chen Jing was silent, he continued: "Although you want to put me to death this time, I don't hate you, but I want to thank you, all of this should be regarded as a kind of experience for me as the prince of a country." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The old minister knows that he is guilty of a lot of sins, and he doesn't ask for forgiveness, but the three generations of the family are passed on, and the grandson of the old minister, Chen Hu, doesn't know everything, and hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be extrajudicial and gracious......" Chen Jing said suddenly.

"Don't worry, it's not a disaster for your family, I will plead with my father for this matter. Do you have any other wishes?" asked Ji Yubing.

"People are about to die, and their words are good, His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has a word to give...... If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight and be careful of the people around you. After Chen Jing finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Master Chen, take care all the way. Ji Yubing turned his back and said, and then walked out of the prison.

Three days later, Chen Jing's case was concluded, and he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and the crime was unforgivable. But remembering that since the new dynasty, he has accumulated meritorious services and is old, the emperor gave grace and gave Bai Aya to commit suicide.

Under Ji Yubing's efforts, Chen Jing's whole clan was not connected, and his grandson Chen Hu was only demoted to a commoner and expelled from Zhongjing Mansion.

In the first battle of Yangshan, thousands of soldiers were blood-stained on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. In addition to giving family pensions, the imperial court specially sent grace, and the descendants of the fallen soldiers, as long as they are willing to join the army, will be given priority admission by the elite Tiger Ben Army of the forbidden army.

Xie Huchen's ass was not hot in the position of Jiangzhou Zhizhou, but because of his excellent performance in this incident, he was promoted by the prince to be the waiter of the Criminal Department.

Originally, Ji Yubing still wanted to be a general who commanded the army, but he was like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he had never been interested in officialdom and politics, so he had to give up.

Ran Yi also attacked her father's title because of her merits, and became the only female general in the court, and she was in the limelight for a while.

Gui Ming, it can be said that his credit is the greatest this time, he actually captured alive the invincible Nanwang Suo Longga of Beining Town, and he also won the protection of the crown prince and the second prince at the same time.

Ji Yubing originally wanted to recommend him to serve in the Tiger Ben Army, taking charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, while Ji Lie was appointed as the commander of Long Xiangwei to make up for Chen Nahai's shortcomings.

In the end, Gui Ming still chose to serve as the commander of Long Xiangwei, after all, he didn't have to go out to Beijing, and he could be closer to Ran Yi.

As for Suolongga, since he arrived in Zhongjing City, he has been able to eat and drink well, but he has gained a lot of weight. The Southern Han did not want to embarrass him, firstly, because they did not want to leave the people of Bac Ninh to be honest, and secondly, they also wanted to grasp a certain initiative in the diplomacy of the two countries.

East Palace.

Ji Yubing Ping retreated, and only he, Yu Chong, and Zhong Mengqing were left in the main hall.

"Brother Yu really doesn't plan to stay?" asked Ji Yubing.

"Haha, didn't Brother Long also say that Yu is a person who is suitable for the rivers and lakes by nature. Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Well, yes, but Qing Shaoke has always said that you owe him a martial arts competition. Ji Yubing looked at Zhong Mengqing and smiled.

"This subordinate will always remember it, so I don't know when Yu Daxia will have time to teach. Zhong Mengqing waved the Lei Xiao Sword in his hand, with a serious expression.

"Qing Shao's martial arts are strong, you let me practice for a few more years, the Zhongmeng family is also famous in the rivers and lakes, one day I will definitely come to the door to ask for advice, haha." Yu Zhong said modestly.

"Hey, Brother Yu is leaving, I don't know when we will meet again, I originally hoped that you could stay and help me. Ji Yubing said regretfully.

"Where you don't meet in life, the future will be long, not to mention that Brother Long still has Qing Shao and Huchen by his side, they are all people who can be relied on. Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"What about Guiming?" Ji Yubing suddenly changed his words.

Yu Chong's expression suddenly became serious, he knew his brother best. Although Gui Ming's nature is not bad, he can be regarded as wise and brave, but he often likes to play some cleverness, and such a person is most likely to be smart and taken advantage of.

Since he was a child, he had a lot of resentment in his heart because of his father's debasement. Although Cao Xiangui later fell, their family was able to return to Zhongjing and return to the official position of Lizheng and reinstated. But the shadow left by this incident in his heart will probably never go away.

So what he has always longed for most is to be recognized for his ability. He believes that only what he has won can not be lost, and this kind of thinking is actually a bit extreme in Yu Chong's view.

Now that Guiming is the commander of Long Xiangwei, he is already on par with his father Guili Zheng's official position at a young age, and even surpasses him in terms of achievements, and the future can be said to be unlimited.

Just don't forget, this official position was promoted by the second prince Ji Lie. It shows that Ji Lie is already wooing him, which is not a good thing.

Before, Cao Xiangui and Chen Jing controlled the government, at least above the court, the people's hearts were quite stable, and the quarrel was just a contradiction between the two powerful ministers.

Now that the two have fallen one after another, the situation between the DPRK and China has suddenly become chaotic, and people's hearts have fluctuated. As the emperor gets older, the contradictions between the crown prince and the second prince gradually surface, and the courtiers will inevitably begin to stand in line.

Yu Zhong expressed his worries one by one.

"I also understand what Brother Yu said. This time I came back to the imperial brother but a lot of peace, in fact, we are all compatriots of the same mother, he just sometimes acts a little biased, I as the imperial brother, he should be tolerant. Ji Yubing said.

"Brother Long, I'm just afraid that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. But now that Huchen has also entered the court, he is resourceful and calm, you can consult him in trouble. Yu Zhong said.

"I am really fortunate to have a confidant like Brother Yu in my life. Ji Yubing held Yu Chong's hand and said goodbye.

Walking out of the palace, Yu Chong came to a restaurant in the city.

Gui Ming and Xie Huchen have been waiting here for a long time.

"Boss Yu, you're finally here, if you don't come again, I'll finish all the wine and food. Gui Ming complained.

"Presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant to let go. Xie Huchen shook the folding fan and smiled.

"If you want me to say, Boss Yu, you might as well listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and stay as a general, so that the three of us brothers will be officials in the same dynasty, wouldn't it be wonderful. Gui Ming said.

"Where is Brother Yu going next?" Xie Huchen asked.

"I'm going to go to Xiangzhou first and see Baili, he doesn't know how the game is going. Yu replied.

"That's right, it's been more than half a year in the blink of an eye, and the dart game of Baili Hao should have improved a little, Boss Yu, you can take a look on our behalf and see if his kid is lazy, haha. Gui Ming said with a smile.

"You also have to be careful in Zhongjing, there are treacherous clouds above the court, after all, it is not as good as when you were in Jiangzhou. Yu Zhong said.

Between the three of them pushing the cup and changing the lamp, they talked happily, and the time passed unconsciously, and they drank until the tavern closed, and then they were willing to disperse.

Guiming was drunk, and the two had to send him back to the house first.

"Junchen, you don't have to send me tomorrow, so as not to add to the sadness. "On the street in the dead of night, only Chong and Xie Huchen remained.

"Then Brother Yu has something else to advise. Xie Huchen asked.

"Just one thing, watch Guiming, don't let him cause trouble. Yu Zhong said meaningfully.

Xie Huchen naturally understood the meaning of his words, and nodded again and again.

Early the next morning, Yu Zhong left Zhongjing Mansion.

Supporting himself in the white blade, in the red dust of murder. When the dynasty is righteous, the world is called a hero.
