Early in the morning, in front of the palace Duansa Gate, waiting for the court meeting of the civil and military officials gathered in a circle to chat, the two ministers of the military department did not go to the court, and a closer look saw that most of the people were gathered around the inspector, the minister of the school department and the minister of the criminal department, and the others scattered outside in twos and threes, deliberately keeping a certain distance from the people in the circle, and did not want to participate in the princely dispute in the court.

The Praetorian Guard increased the number of troops on duty, the cordon was placed outside the moat of the green willow turn, and the cavalry patrol shuttled back and forth along the riverbank.

Finding that the crown princess's guard of honor appeared at the bridge, the military generals stopped chatting, and some people seemed to inadvertently get out of the circle, and there was a sudden silence in front of the palace gate, and almost every minister was thinking in their hearts, why the long-ill crown princess is here today.

With the support of the two palace maids, the crown princess slowly got out of the sedan chair, glanced at the Praetorian Guards who were waiting by the river, shook off the hands of the palace maids, and walked onto the bridge.

"See the Crown Princess. The standard commander on duty bent down and saluted, the princess smiled slightly, and asked with concern: "Hard work, Zuoying three standards, I remember correctly, right?" The standard commander on duty replied in a low voice: "Thank you princess." ”

The crown princess smiled and walked to the palace gate, King Rui took the lead to salute, the king of England saw this and reluctantly bent over, the princess nodded and greeted a few times, stood in the wind and waited for the palace door to open, dozens of ministers retreated far away, the king of England was angry, and he caught a glimpse of the forbidden army guarding the princess, and finally did not dare to come forward to fight for the salute.

The palace door opened, and the crown princess stood still, asking the eunuch on duty to report quickly, saying that he wanted to visit Merlin.

"Your Royal Highness, the imperial concubine has a decree, and the prince is asked to deal with the government affairs, Your Majesty needs to recuperate, and the ministers must not be disturbed. ”

The old eunuch looked respectful, but he did not move half a step under his feet, to prevent the princess from entering the palace with the will of the imperial concubine, and the ministers in the distance had different expressions after hearing it, the corners of the king's mouth were slightly smiling, the king was expressionless, and the inspector took a few steps forward and stood down, the palace is not a place for picketing.

"The prince has not returned to the palace in recent months, can my father-in-law spread the word that the palace has brought some clothes and pills. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the prince is filial and filial to serve the decoction, if necessary, he will send someone out of the palace, and the hundred officials will also enter the interior to discuss politics, please move His Highness. ”

The crown princess's heart sank, and the princess was really ruthless, trapping the prince in the palace, and it was not difficult to hear from the old eunuch's words that the palace was probably under the control of the concubine.

"In this case, the main palace will go back to the palace. Oh, now Your Majesty's holy body is uneasy, and the prince is serving in the palace again, how can things in the palace leak out, the Praetorian Guard guards the palace, and from today onwards, outside the hundreds of officials, idle people and others should not enter and leave the palace gate to disturb. ”

"The mark immediately sent someone into the camp and reported His Highness's words to the general. ”

The standard commander on duty retreated a few steps to recruit the guards, whispered a few times in his ear, and a guard flew across the bridge, turned over and galloped towards the camp.

"Crown Princess, without His Majesty's holy decree, you mobilized the guards without permission, what do you want?"

Concubine Duan issued an order to close the palace and ban the inside and outside, but it is difficult to put the prince under house arrest, Meilin, Pingrong Palace, Guanwen Hall and other key places, the old king's daily administration often comes and goes, the chief eunuch and the guard commander are all confidants, and Concubine Duan's decree will not work. The prince's failure to leave the palace was not a complete loss of freedom, but it was just a shackle to Merlin's troubles.

"King Ying, how dare this palace get involved in the Praetorian Guards and bring disaster upon themselves, but it is just a reminder of duty. Duan Huang Concubine Yi Zhi, hehe, Yi Zhi, I don't know when His Majesty will set up a new queen. ”

After speaking, the crown princess slowly walked to the bridge, leaving a thin silhouette of the military general Wenchen, and a team of guards pressed their swords to protect them, until the guard of honor set off, and the hundred officials withdrew their eyes and walked into the palace.

The prince in the Pingrong Palace looked haggard, and the lonely throne was close in front of him, but it was like a clear river, out of reach. The throne that shows the strength of the imperial power is like a towering tree in the eyes of the prince, which once relied on shelter from the wind and rain, and although it lived tremblingly in the shade of the tree, there was no danger to life, and when the tree collapsed, the flowers and plants under the tree were the most seriously injured, and there was a storm between heaven and earth.

"Father, you sent Ying'er to the standard camp and ordered her to fight in battle, and the hard-working sons only understood today. Mother, why did you force your father to make me the crown prince early, alas, how should the sons and daughters do it today, do you really want to kill each other?"

Duan Imperial Concubine went to Merlin to pick up, the prince had no choice but to send someone to invite out the Xian Imperial Princess, the two imperial concubines fought with each other, the prince sat on the king's bed and cried alone, if the queen mother lived in the world, who dared to make a second in the harem, the scene of childhood was vivid, the immature boy frolicked in the deep palace, and occasionally broke into the princess's palace, the smiles of the two looked more cordial than the queen mother, he ran out of the world, and when he turned back, he could still see the princess who was sent off.

After the death of the queen mother, every time the prince left the palace, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, surrounded by guards, the princess could not get close to the front, let alone play with the two young brothers, whenever the internal affairs government sent novelties, always do not forget to send someone to send some past, thanks to the three brothers can take the opportunity to play, and so on as they get older, they have entered school, the Taifu looks at the etiquette more than the official hat, the three brothers rarely say a few words in half a day, sometimes it is obviously him who makes mistakes, but the Taifu goes to punish the two younger brothers, brotherhood flows with time, and the smile on the princess's face turns from reluctance to indifference。

In the past, at a banquet, almost all the blood of the royal family stained the lake, and now the county kings and county lords in the court are all far away from the door, and the only three brothers in the Dugu royal family can kill each other again, but the two brothers are pressing step by step, and how to resolve the crisis without bloodshed.

"Prince, hundreds of officials are on duty. ”

The king was sick and could not look at the court, and during the great court meeting, the hundred officials knelt down outside the palace to greet him, and the prince returned to the king to say that he was well, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and dealt with important military and political affairs in the Pingrong Hall and the Guanwen Palace. The prince walked out of the Pingrong Palace, walked to the Imperial Palace under the escort of Gao Lin's leaders, and met the King of England and the ministers halfway, the prince was stunned for a moment, and then sank his face.

"Brother Wang, my father is seriously ill and has not seen the minister for several months, and it is also a proper gift to visit Merlin. ”

If the prince doesn't mind, why should the ministers bring about the disaster of extermination, in front of the palace of the senior minister, the position of the minister can be distinguished by the position of the foot, at this time the king and the king of Rui each led a group of people, the inspector made a circle around him, and there was a group of people waiting outside the palace.

"The ministers will go to the Lieban court meeting first, and then the matter will be discussed after the court is dispersed. ”

The crown prince stepped forward, and the king retreated to the side and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, most of the courtiers are here, how many people will you go to the palace to lead a few people?" The inspector stepped forward and shouted angrily: "King Ying, you ignore the royal face, and the ministers can still distinguish who is the king and who is the minister." ”

"Inspector, who ignores the face of the Dugu royal family, when will it be the turn of the foreign minister to make irresponsible remarks, come and send the old man out of the palace. ”

The guards on the side of the road looked at each other when they heard the sound, and dozens of eunuchs had forced the inspector and others, Gao Lin waved his hand, and the guards of the Pingrong Hall pulled out their knives and protected the prince tightly in the center.

"The prince is here, who dares to spread wild in the palace, don't kneel down and confess his guilt. ”

A few groups of people flashed out of the corner of the hall in the distance, and they gathered towards the ministers, and Gao Lin shouted when he saw this: "Escort the prince and the ministers back to the Pingrong Palace." The voice came far away, and the king didn't expect him to have such cultivation, and shouted to the guards standing on the side of the road: "Why don't you go and capture the rude minions." ”

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, King Rui persuaded him on the side of the road: "Prince, King Ying, take a step back, don't forget, the palace has been surrounded by the Praetorian Guard, if anyone dares to act rashly, the disaster of annihilation is imminent." ”

The crown prince heard the hint in King Rui's words, ordered the guards to retreat to the side, and looked at the guards and eunuchs who were surrounded from three sides with a calm face.

"King Ying, although this prince has never been in battle, hehe, the descendants of the Dugu family, there are few who are as greedy for life and afraid of death as you, do it. The crown prince sneered: "The princess Duan is working hard in the palace, thinking that the prince is blind, hehe, do you think that your father is confused? ”

"The son of a daughter does not take risks, for the way of the will, not bravely, if I am afraid of death, I will not do this. Brother Wang, it is true that the guards have surrounded the palace gate, but the Guards Legion has blocked the inner city, or King Rui is smart, he has already let the city guards intercept the disciples of the Phantom Sword Gate to enter the city, hehe, if you don't want to shed blood in the palace today, let the prince of the county take advantage of the situation to enter, and the prince is still re-elected by the noble house. ”

King Rui's face became not very good-looking, and he retorted on the side: "Brother Yingwang, the city guards intercepted the Phantom Sword Gate, at the behest of this king, because they don't want the people in the sect to participate in the royal internal strife, and it can't be compared with you launching a mutiny." Since you want to use the Manchu ministers as hostages, let's say, where to detain, we will go ourselves. ”

"Hehe, King Rui, you didn't start a mutiny, just because you don't have the strength, not because you don't want to, if you are content to be a prince, why do you secretly hinder the king's actions, the princess is in Merlin, don't say that you still don't know. ”

The prince was listening to the two exposing each other's shortcomings, looked at King Rui and sighed: "King Rui, I haven't been out of the palace gate for nearly a month, you should be able to see that because I don't want her and the Phantom Sword Gate to get involved in the palace, the city guards have done a good job." The British king, the royal affairs are not implicated in the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the big war is busy with government affairs, do you really want to ignore the empire for your own selfishness?"

"Selfishness, hehe, it seems that you are doing everything for the empire, in this case, why not judge yourself on the spot to calm down the conflict, the palace will naturally not change, and the ministers can immediately return to the ministry to deal with government affairs. After seven years of supervising the country without accomplishments, let my father leave Merlin and look at the court with illness, have you been able to handle the royal affairs? Say that I have no merit in the northern corps, you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy in the court, I have supervised the army in the wind and snow for two years, but you have never even left the gate of Kyoto, who of you and I has contributed to the country?"

The crown prince was silent, and King Rui still wanted to resolve the dilemma: "Brother Ying, in the past, why should you care too much about it now, what kind of goal do you want to achieve today, you might as well talk about it and discuss it with each other, so as not to break the net and make others distracted from the throne." ”

"Today, the ministers sent their father to recuperate in his mother's palace, and the government affairs of the court and China are temporarily in charge of the three of us, and when my father recovers from his illness, he will issue a decree to punish him. ”

After the king finished speaking, everyone was silent, if the king left Merlin, the future can be imagined, when the illness can only be deceived by the three-year-old child, but now the king of England has the upper hand in the palace, if the knife handle meets, the three princes are in danger, the minister will also be martyred for him, the court of the Qinghui Empire is empty, and the ending is even worse.

"That being the case, Gao Lin, lead the way, and this prince will go to Merlin. ”
