Chapter 1309: Entering the Palace (Medium)
"This... The old slave will never forget, and if His Highness has any orders, I will do my best. Chen Jing stood respectfully beside the crown prince and lowered his head.
"What this palace asked you just now, you haven't told you the truth. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped his gaze on Chen Jing, and his tone was very soft, which surprised Chen Jing on the side.
Chen Jing bowed his body, kept his head down, and said in a low voice, "Guogong didn't say anything to the old slave in detail, but just mentioned that there is a difference between the north and the south. ”
"Strange?Southern Xinjiang has always been a problem for my father's henchmen, and there are four brothers and three princes guarding Yanyun, Luobei and Qinchuan in the north, how could Xu Guogong suddenly talk about this?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowed down and walked slowly forward along the wooden corridor.
"This... This, the old slave also asked Guogong, but he did not say it. Chen Jing followed closely beside His Royal Highness the Prince, his face was full of astonishment, he secretly said in his heart, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to directly name His Royal Highness King Yan, King Qin and King Fu didn't even mention a word, could it be that he had already decided in his heart that there was something wrong in the land of Yanyun. Chen Jing coughed dryly and asked cautiously, "Your Highness didn't order the Jinyi Guards to patrol the northern border, presumably they have already returned to Jinling to resume their lives." ”
"Patrol the North? Can there be such a thing?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head and asked Wang Zikai, who was following on the left.
"Yes, Your Highness. His Royal Highness King Qing had asked for instructions on this matter, and he proposed that the Zhenfu Division send Jinyi Guards to inspect the vassal kings in various places. Wang Zikai stopped slightly, his face sank, and he glared at Chen Jing beside him. He secretly said in his heart, he didn't expect this Chen Jing to be really scheming, Xu Guogong was good friends with King Yan, and he actually involved this matter to His Royal Highness King Qing at an important juncture.
"Oh, this palace has some impressions, and King Qing seems to have asked for this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped, turned his head to look to the right, the grand hall was in front of him, the hall was brightly lit, he stopped his gaze on the dragon chair of Taizu, and glanced at the four wooden chairs on the hall. With a long-lost smile on his face, he forced a smile and said, "Father is still very nostalgic, then..."
"His Majesty the Emperor has specially explained to the old slave, and the four wooden chairs are specially left..."Before Chen Jing finished the second half of the sentence, he noticed the unpredictable look on His Royal Highness the Prince's face, and hurriedly stopped and stopped talking.
"By the way, since King Qing wants to touch the details of the vassal kings in various places, he can't help him anymore. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went straight around the main entrance of the main hall and continued to walk forward, while Wang Zikai and Chen Jing followed behind them, and the attendants on both sides of them walked forward with lanterns, illuminating the wooden corridor outside the hall very brightly.
"What does Your Highness command?" Wang Zikai heard that he wanted to help His Royal Highness King Qing, and looked at the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a daze, he didn't know what the prince planned at this time, especially Xu Guogong's remarks that the north and the south were different, which made the heir of the dynasty in front of him even more unpredictable.
"Didn't you say that Jin Yiwei has been a little disobedient recently?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped, looked back at Wang Zikai, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes, which shocked Wang Zikai and Chen Jingdeng to their knees. "Haha, what does this matter have to do with you, look at the two of you..."His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up Chen Jing with his left hand and said softly, "Grandpa Chen is old, so let's go and rest early." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness. Chen Jing hurriedly got up, saluted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and disappeared into the night along the imperial steps.
"Get up too. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned and walked on, towards the wooden corridor on the other side of the hall.
Wang Zikai followed closely behind, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he still couldn't guess the intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince. "Your Highness, what do you mean..."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood at the end of the wooden corridor, looking at the high wall of the deep palace with sparks under him, the lamp in the hands of the waiter on the side illuminated half of his face, he took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, "Zikai, this palace knows that you and King Qing have grown up together since childhood, although he is the younger brother of this palace, but he is always only the younger brother of this palace, if it is not for the request of the queen mother, calm down the main palace..."
"Your Highness, Weichen knows his mistake. Wang Zikai hurriedly knelt on the ground.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reluctantly smiled, he turned around and helped Wang Zikai up, "Since King Qing wants to investigate the vassal kings of various places, let's investigate to the end." ”
"Thoroughly?"
"Yes, didn't Xu Guogong say that there is a difference between the north and the south? He wants to see his father, and it is estimated that Chen Jing, an old fellow, also pointed out a path for him. Since it is inconvenient for King Qing to arrange it, then don't stop Xu Guogong from seeing his father. ”
Wang Zikai stood aside respectfully, looking frightened, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to even worry about King Qing, and he didn't make a move to fake the hands of His Majesty the Emperor and Xu Guogong. Wang Zikai said softly, "Your Highness means that if Duke Xu goes to the Purple Mountain in the northern suburbs, we can let it go?"
"Listen?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head and chuckled, "If it is so easy to see the Emperor, Xu Guogong may think about it too much, and he will do what he wants." Let everyone know who to listen to. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it. Wang Zikai clenched his hands into fists and said happily. Then he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say today that Jinyiwei was checking people in the city recently?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called Wang Zikai, holding the portrait tightly in his right hand.
Wang Zikai stopped, knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, it's just..."
"Since this woman has entered Beijing, she can't afford to lose. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince crumpled the portrait in his hand, and he said coldly, "It seems that Jinyiwei doesn't know who his master is." ”
"Your Highness..."Wang Zikai looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, only to see that his face was grim.
"Then let Xiao Yi go to the Pacification Division and check them out. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around and walked down the stone steps, with four attendants beside him holding the lamp, and everyone walked in the direction of the East Palace.
......
The leader of the Jinyi Guard looked at Fei Ming, who looked displeased, and said respectfully with his hands into fists, "Chu Feng, a hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, is ordered to invite you to go to the command envoy's mansion to gather." ”
"It's the Hongmen Banquet" Ye Xing walked out of the room and glared at Chu Feng coldly, his right hand clenched the short blade behind his back.
Chu Feng laughed and said, "This hero is joking, our Jinyi Wei is very bold, and we don't dare to put on any Hongmen banquet for the masters of the eight major factions." Before going out, Lord Ning instructed that you must serve all the heroes as guests and never slack off. ”
Mu Ning walked out of the room, stood beside Yexing and whispered, "In order to investigate the matter of calligraphy and painting, even if it is the Hongmen Banquet, we should go to it once." If Jinyiwei really wants to do something to us, it will not be safe anywhere in Jinling City. ”
"Senior Brother Fei, what do you think?" Ye Xing nodded when he heard Mu Ning's suggestion, and he asked Fei Ming, who was standing in the courtyard, with a low laugh.
Fei Ming looked back at the night star and Mu Ning at the door, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said with a smile, "What do the other senior brothers and sisters think?"
"Let's go, even if it's a Hongmen feast, we have to investigate clearly. Find out where Cao Haotian is hiding. Xia Qingyi's faint voice came from the room, and Yue Menghan, Lan Jing and others also walked out of the room.
Chu Feng nodded with a smile on his face, pointed to the door of the courtyard with his right hand, and said respectfully, "Please!"
