The first volume begins with the True and False Prince
Yang Ye stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time, his face was gloomy as water, he didn't expect his father to summon his eldest son Yang Chao behind his back, although this is a father and son, but Yang Ye's heart is still full of vigilance, he knows that there are many people who are still supporting Yang Chao, such as the likes of Ma Liushu, he is also the secretary of the military department, holding real power, and several gates in the capital, at least half of them are biased towards Yang Chao, especially the Yuan's gate valve, which is Yang Chao's consistent supporter.
He had already seen the Ninety-Five Throne, it was the throne that belonged to him, and he must not stumble at the last step, no!
"Your Highness! Anu has arrived. "There was a report at the door.
Annu is the little eunuch beside Yang Xiong, who has already been bought by Yang Ye, Yang Ye turned around suddenly, "Bring him in!"
After a while, the little eunuch Anu was brought in, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "Annu see His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"What did that woman say?" Yang Guang asked coldly.
She said that now the eldest son is generous and benevolent, and it is still too late to change the crown prince. β
"Slut!"
Yang Ye gritted his teeth with hatred, he knew that Chen Guiren had always been angry about him for killing Chen, and he had spoken ill of him in his father in the past two years, and now that his father was dying, she also instigated his father to change the crown prince again, and then clean her up later.
"Go ahead, serve the Holy One well, let him finish the last leg of the road with peace of mind, and I will not treat you badly in the future. β
"Yes!" Annu retired. β
The little eunuch Annu retreated, Yang Ye walked quickly in the room with his back hand, he was still very worried, if there was Liu Shu and Yuan's support outside, and Chen Guiren instigated inside, plus Yang Chao saw his father crying again, Liu and Yuan were next to him to persuade again, his father was confused, maybe he would really turn the tables, he was a little anxious in his heart.
He immediately wrote a note and handed it to his personal attendant, "You quickly give this note to Yu Wenshu, be careful not to be seen." β
The waiter hid the note and hurried away, Yang Ye sighed, his heart always hanging in the air.
Renshou Palace is not a lonely palace, but a group of palace groups, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, there are tens of thousands of military guards stationed, and a special royal road has been built, from Qishan County to Renshou Palace, about 40 miles long.
At noon, a team of carriages rushed on the royal road, a total of seven or eight carriages, more than 200 guards guarded left and right, Yang Yuanba rode a single lance, followed in the team, this is the carriage of Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, one is he sitting alone, the princess and his three sons are sitting in another, and the younger sister Nanyang County Lord is also sitting with the children, they are in a hurry for two days, and they are about to arrive at Renshou Palace.
Yang Zhao pulled the curtain and smiled at Yang Yuanba: "Yuanba, there is the palace station in front, let's go eat something and take a rest." β
Yang Yuanba looked in the distance, more than twenty miles away, Renshou Palace was already faintly visible, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's almost here, at most half an hour." β
"This"
Yang Zhao smiled bitterly, "You don't know fat people, when you want to eat, that feeling is going to die." β
Yang Yuanba thought of the fat fish, when he was hungry, the king of heaven couldn't stop it, he couldn't help but apologize and said: "I don't know the humble position, please forgive me!"
"It's okay, let's go eat, drink some water, rest and then go. β
Yang Zhao also instructed the guards, "Go to the post station to rest and eat." β
The crowd quickened up and ran towards the post station a mile away.
The post station is called the palace post station, as the name suggests, it is the post station on the way to Renshou Palace, in fact, it is specially set up for Renshou Palace, the tolerance and officials can rest here, the post station is very large, covers an area of about ten acres, nearly 100 houses, the largest is the stable, occupies as much as three acres of land, and has dozens of high-quality horses, which are used to change horses for officials.
Standing at the door of the post station to welcome the Qin Yicheng saw the convoy from afar, his eyes were very poisonous, eight horse-drawn carriages, two hundred guards, it should be the prince, and a little closer, the flag hunting fluttering with a big 'Jin' word, this is the king of Jin is coming, he hurriedly greeted out.
The convoy stopped in front of the post station, and the two guards helped the obese Yang Zhao out, and Qin Yicheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See His Royal Highness the King of Jin!"
Yang Zhao knew him, so he smiled slightly: "Am I the latest royal family?"
"Your Royal Highness is not the latest, and the King of Shu has not yet arrived. β
Yang Zhao saw more than a dozen gorgeous carriages parked on the other side of the post station, so he asked with a smile: "Whose carriage is over there?"
"It's King Yuzhang, and he has just arrived. β
King Yuzhang is Yang Zhao's brother Yang Jun, the crown prince Yang Guang currently has a total of two sons and a daughter, both of whom were born to Concubine Xiao, of which the eldest son Yang Zhao was obese because he was sick since he was a child, Yang Ye is not very fond of him, in contrast, he prefers the second son Yang Jun, Yang Jun is smart and capable, both civil and military, and looks like Yang Ye when he was young.
Although the two brothers were born to the same mother, the relationship is not too good, this is the consistent law of the royal family, those who have weak brothers and strong brothers will cause trouble, and Yang Ye itself is like this.
When Yang Zhao heard that his brother was also there, his face changed slightly, he didn't want to stay at the post station anymore, but he had already come, and he couldn't leave, so he reluctantly said: "Let's just take a nap and prepare some simple meals, and we'll leave after eating." β
"Okay, go and prepare, please go down to the post to rest!"
The car door opened, Yang Zhao's wife and children got out of the car, and the county lord of Nanyang also followed, and dozens of palace maids surrounded them and walked towards the post station from the other door.
Yang Yuanba followed Yang Zhao into the gate of the post station, as soon as the post station entered the gate, there were two courtyards on the left and right, and there were more than a dozen guards standing at the gate of one of the courtyards, this was Yang Yun's courtyard, and they were also resting in the courtyard.
Yang Zhao hesitated, do you want to say hello to his brother? At this time, a group of people walked out of the courtyard, and one of them wore a purple and gold crown, a red and yellow robe, and a jade belt around his waist, the same as Yang Zhao's dress, but this person was handsome and handsome, with an elegant and chic temperament, and was about twenty years old, Yang Yuanba immediately guessed that he was Yang Yong, the king of Yuzhang.
He never imagined that such a handsome and dashing royal family would be the head of the three tyrants in the capital, Yang Yuan felt that Yang Yuanba was looking at him, he glanced at Yang Yuanba coldly, there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes, Yang Yuanba had already changed out of the military uniform, he didn't bring clothes, so he wore an S guard uniform, Yang Yuan regarded him as a guard.
He immediately smiled and saluted his brother, "Big brother, little brother thought you should have gone early, why did you come now?"
The two of them had a good relationship when they were children, and the brothers were close, but after Yang Yin got married at the age of fifteen, the two brothers met less and less, and the relationship became weaker and weaker, Yang Jin began to look down on this fat pig-like brother from the bones, in the past two years, as their father sat firmly in the East Palace, the relationship between the two had an indescribable subtlety, at least Yang Zhao knew that Yang Zhao had bought off the people around his mother, and said bad things about himself every day, which made his mother begin to dislike him, which made Yang Zhao feel very uncomfortable, and at the same time he was extremely dissatisfied with his brother in his heartγ
Yang Zhao said lightly: "I just came back from Luoyang, of course it will be a little late." β
"Oh! I see. β
Yang Jun pretended to have a sudden realization, and he suddenly whispered to his brother and said, "I thought it was because the carriage was too heavy and the horses couldn't run fast!"
Yang Zhao suddenly changed color, he snorted heavily, turned around and left, Yang Xuan squinted his eyes with a smile, staring at the fat figure of the two Shi Wei supporting his brother, and a trace of coldness shot out of his smiling eyes, "I can't even walk anymore, this kind of waste still wants to govern the world?"
Yang Yuanba heard it clearly, he was a little surprised in his heart, Yang Yuan is also a prince, his parents are nobles who are knowledgeable and courteous, he has read scriptures since he was a child, and grew up in the palace, he should be a little bit majestic, but he is actually like a scoundrel son of a small family, ridiculing his brother for being fat, and he has no royal bearing and self-cultivation at all.
Yang Yuanba shook his head secretly, estimating that the battle for the succession of the elder generation was replicated in the next generation.
Yang Yuanba saw four majestic warriors behind Yang Xuan, they didn't look like guards, the four of them had cold eyes, strong bones and muscles, and the might of ten thousand people, which made Yang Yuanba quite curious, who are these four people?
Qin Yicheng finally sent away Yang Hui, the king of Yuzhang, and let him breathe a long sigh of relief, after all, this is the foot of Renshou Palace, although Yang Yi is the first evil in the capital, he does not dare to make trouble easily.
He was just about to go back, but he saw an army of hundreds of people on the royal road escorting a carriage coming, Qin Yicheng recognized at a glance that the general headed by was Yu Chong, the general of Zuo Wuwei.
He hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "General Yu can come in and have a glass of water and wine?"
Yu Chong ignored him, dismounted and walked to the window of the carriage and said respectfully: "Your Highness, do you want to go to the post station to eat something?"
The car window opened, revealing a miserable white face, but Qin Yicheng was so shocked that he took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, and the person in the car was actually the former prince Yang Chao.
Yang Chao glanced at the post station and shook his head, "Let's go and visit our father as soon as possible!"
The windows of the carriage were pulled down, the carriage started, and hundreds of soldiers escorted the carriage in the direction of Renshou Palace, Qin Yicheng was a little depressed, and said to himself, "What the hell, even the voice is different." β
Yang Zhao and his entourage sat down in the main hall of the courtyard, and soon, the staff of the post brought food, and the guards ate it like a storm.
Yang Zhao also ate quietly, although many people heard his brother's insult to him, but he didn't want to mention it, let alone say to Yang Yuanba, he saw that Yang Yuanba was a little unaccustomed to sharing the table with him, so he pointed to the food with chopsticks and said with a smile: "Outside the power, let's eat a little casually, and then set off." β
"What about Brother Yuwen?" Yang Yuanba looked around, but he didn't see Yuwenshi.
"He's already going to Renshou Palace first, and he's going to see his father first, so you should hurry up and eat! β
At this time, Qin Yicheng came up with a pot of soup, and as he walked, he whispered to himself, "It's strange, is it because I'm dazzled?" β
"Qin Yicheng, what's the strange thing?" Yang Zhao asked with a smile.
"Maybe I'm dazzled, how can there be two waste princes?"
