"Your Royal Highness said with a smile, Master Taishi has always been optimistic about you. Wen Chen said with a flattering smile.

"Hmph, do you think I really don't know, now my eldest brother's position in the court is becoming more and more stable, many ministers are his supporters, with his character, once he inherits the unification, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch, and the first thing to clean up is Chen Taishi. Ji Lie snorted coldly.

Wen Chen's face changed slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, and said with a wicked smile: "Your Second Highness is looking at the fire, and your Majesty admires it, but have you ever thought that even if the prince is no longer used to looking at the old man, as long as he has no handle, it is nothing more than a Zhishi returning home, with the status and power of the Taishi, he can still manipulate the government, and the Second Highness, I'm afraid you are the one who is in danger." ”

Ji Lie's body was shocked, this person's words accurately hit the thing he was most worried about, you must know that he is against the prince everywhere, and he has done a lot of offending things on weekdays, if the prince succeeds to the throne, even if he does not deal with him in brotherhood, the imperial history of the officials will not let him go.

"How is it, how is the Second Highness thinking about it. ”

Although Ji Lie was not angry in his heart, he had to admit that what this person said was extremely reasonable.

"You go back and tell Taishi Chen that as long as he helps me obtain the position of crown prince, he will be the prince of my Southern Han Dynasty in the future, hereditary replacement!" Ji Lie said.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, and Your Majesty will go back and reply to Master Chen. Wen Chen happily bowed down and walked out quickly.

At this moment, Ji Lie's heart is fluctuating, he has been brilliant since he was a child, and he is the same mother as Ji Yubing, but just because of the order of birth, it determines the fate of his life.

He refused to admit defeat, and he lamented why fate was so unfair. Countless midnight dreams, he fantasized that one day, he would sit on top of the golden palace and command the world, so he needed the support of a powerful minister like Chen Jing.

Taiyi Bureau, Hua Wenjun is busy packing her luggage.

"Wen Jun, the prince's trip to Beijing this time is to patrol the heavens, this journey is tiring, in case you have a headache and brain fever, you have to take good care of the prince's health. Hua Simiao admonished.

"Don't worry, Dad, your daughter is so old, and you still treat me like a child. Hua Wenjun stuck out his tongue and smiled.

"You, no matter how old you are, are your father's child. Hua Simiao stroked her beard and replied.

"Yes, yes, my daughter will follow the teachings, don't worry. Hua Wenjun replied.

I heard that the place where the prince was going was Hongchang Mansion, and Hua Wenjun said that he won the opportunity to drive out of Beijing with his father.

I can finally see Xie Huchen, who she thinks about day and night, again!

East Palace.

"Young master, we haven't been back for long, but I didn't expect to be out of Beijing again. "It was a young man who spoke, wearing a strange mask, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes, and he carried a sword behind his back, wrapped in sackcloth.

"This trip may take a little longer, and I think you should be prepared as well. Ji Yubing said to the masked man.

"All I need to do is carry this sword. The masked man gestured to the sword behind his back.

"Haha, that's right, who made you a sword idiot. Ji Yubing said with a smile.

"The subordinates are worried that during the absence of the young master, some people will be ready to move. The masked man said.

Ji Yubing was silent for a while, and said, "Then I can only ask your old man to bear more." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will return to my father and ask him to pay more attention. The masked man replied.

Ji Yubing smiled, but there was a little uneasiness in his heart, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and pressed towards the imperial city, he seemed to smell a strange smell from the air, which made people feel ape and impetuous.

The next day, a mighty patrol team walked out of the gate of Zhongjing Mansion with great momentum.

Three carriages and four carriages opened, followed by two teams of tiger ben elite cavalry and tiger ben infantry army wearing gold armor and golden helmets, followed by the honor guard of Zhang Huanggai and drum music.

The guard of honor was followed by the prince's chariot, Ji Yubing rode on the royal leather, and the masked man led hundreds of elite soldiers of the Tiger Guard, escorted on both sides of the car, and the guards were fierce.

The chariot was followed by the Chinese army, which was composed of the largest number of forbidden soldiers and internal attendants, led by two Forbidden Army captains, divided into 500 soldiers each with bows, swords, halberds, and shields.

The rearguard force is composed of a flag array and a horse infantry army of thousands of people, divided into twelve flag teams, each team has a god and monster painted on the flag, each representing a meaning, such as warding off evil spirits, honor, etc., and all the chariot teams are over.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were sent off at the city gate, including the second prince Ji Lie.

"The grace of heaven is vast, and he actually gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, Second Highness, are you a little unhappy in your heart. "It was the Wenchen sent by Chen Jing who spoke.

Ji Lie's heart at this time was as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, which was extremely unpleasant.

"Sooner or later...... Sooner or later, it's all mine. He whispered through gritted teeth.

"His Royal Highness has this ambition, and Master Chen will definitely help. Wen Chen smiled flatteringly.

Watching the honor guard go all the way, Ji Lie clenched his fists and stared at the prince's car like a poisonous snake.

"Is it all arranged?" Ji Yubing's voice came from the leather.

"Young master, don't worry, everything has been arranged. The masked man replied.

Ji Yubing nodded and said, "Well, I always feel that my father appointed me to patrol this time, and he has his deep meaning, but after thinking about it for several days, I can't figure it out." ”

"The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the subordinates are dull, this can only be thought of by the young master himself. The masked man said.

"What are you discussing?" Hua Wenjun rode up on his horse and said.

The masked man looked at her and said with dissatisfaction: "There are so many imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, why did they send you with them, it's not enough to add to the chaos." ”

"Hmph, that's because Miss Ben is a good doctor, hehe. Hua Wenjun pouted and said.

"Okay, okay, you can't be kind to Wen Jun, and you're not afraid that she will secretly give you a laxative halfway. Ji Yubing quipped.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that I will let him vent his anger when I turn around, otherwise his face will always be so stinky. Hua Wenjun said.

"Hmph, good men don't fight women. The masked man twisted his face.

"Good women don't fight with men, slightly. Hua Wenjun stuck out her tongue at him and grimaced.

Taishifu.

"Taishi, the prince has already left Beijing. Wen Chenyu reported.

"Ahem...... It was too coincidental that the emperor sent the prince out of Beijing this time and went directly to Hongchang Mansion. Chen Jing sat in the hall and said slowly.

Xiaguan also felt that there seemed to be some mystery in it, would the emperor want to do something to the Taishi, this time the reconciliation was not in Hongchang Mansion. Wenchen said.

Chen Jing shook his head and said: "This matter is very confidential, it shouldn't be, but the saint is very old, and some things are sooner or later, as courtiers, we should also think about the way back." ”

"The Taishi took precautions, but the lower officials wondered why you chose the second prince instead of the crown prince. Wen Chen asked puzzled.

"The icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, the prince is already full-fledged, even if we assist the prince, I am afraid we will not be able to gain his trust, but the second prince, has been suppressed, our help is like a life-saving straw, if it were you, would you throw away this straw?" Chen Jing said.

"The Taishi is far-sighted, and the lower officials can't reach it. Wenchen flattered.

"Ahem...... You ordered to go down, let people keep an eye on the prince's actions, and if there is any change, report it immediately. Chen Jing commanded.

"Yes!"

Chen Jing picked up the book in his hand and continued to read it, reciting a poem as he read it.

"The sassy west wind is planted all over the yard, and it is difficult for the cold and fragrant butterflies to come. If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will report that the peach blossoms will bloom together. ”

Knowing that the crown prince had left Beijing, Xie Huchen and Yu Zhong came to Hongchang Mansion again and joined Tang Jian.

"Lord Tang, I don't know how you are preparing. Xie Huchen asked.

"I have arranged the location of the reconciliation and write-off, and informed Zhuang Menglong, as long as all the hidden accounts are in place, I will catch them. Tang Jian said his plan.

After all, Hongchang Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Tang Jian, and when the prince comes, his mobilization of troops and horses will not arouse anyone's suspicion, just to hide from the world, as long as all the responsible persons of the dark account are taken down, the entire dark account system will fall apart, and when the time comes, one will be counted as one, and there will be no fish that slip through the net.

Listening to Tang Jian's high-spirited words, Xie Huchen shook the folding fan, but he was thinking about something.

"What, Huchen, do you have anything to worry about?" asked Yu Zhong.

"I don't know, I'm just a little uneasy in my heart. Xie Huchen replied.

The matter of dark accounts is widely implicated, from the first-grade officials to the seven-grade Zhixian County, if they are investigated, there are more than a thousand people, and if they are not done well, they will shake the country's foundation, for Xie Huchen, this matter is too big, and it is beyond his ability to bear it, and it is inevitable that he will feel uneasy.

At this time, a girl in Luo Yi, leading a horse, slowly walked into the city gate of Hongchang Mansion.

The late autumn sun sprinkled on her face, and the white face was as white as condensed cream, which was particularly beautiful and moving, and the men passing by couldn't help but look back and reluctantly leave for a long time.

The girl seemed to enjoy the gaze of the crowd very much, and stroked her long hair back with her hand, and a burst of fragrance blew along the breeze, intoxicating everyone.

Such a beautiful beauty, but no man dares to come forward to talk, because she carries a sword around her waist, and usually beautiful women with a sword are not easy to mess with.

She doesn't seem to be a local, because she carries luggage, but she doesn't seem to be a traveler, because she doesn't have a guest house.

The girl came all the way to the Commander's Mansion, looking up at the gilded plaque at the door, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I saw that the girl took out a letterhead and handed it to the sergeant at the door, and when the sergeant saw the letterhead, he went in in a panic to report it.

Who is she?
