Chapter 799 The Crown Prince
The time spent on the road that was not used for fighting was much greater.
Sent troops from Zhennan Pass, out of Shanggu County all the way to the west, using the cavalry's mobility and ability to cover the battlefield. After exerting themselves to the extreme, running for a long distance, the men and horses were exhausted;
After struggling for so long, preparing for so long, sprinting for so long,
Finally,
That is to say, the trembling was completed in the south of Fancheng.
Soon,
it was just boring.
And the time it takes to go back is much longer than when we came;
After shivering, we still have to clean up the mess, we can’t just pat our butts and leave. .
Therefore,
When Mr. Zheng took a boat and landed at the dock adjacent to Yingdu, it was already a steady spring rain.
The harshness of winter has gone away, and the warmth of spring has become extremely clear.
As soon as he landed,
Zheng Houye received two messages.
On the one hand, there are the imperial envoys and various ceremonies required for the title of king. The huge team composed of them is still marching on the road.
Yes, although it was inconvenient to receive messages on the way back,
Xiao Liuzi was very interested in himself. Although he did not summon him back to Beijing, he still hoped to organize a party for himself in eastern Shanxi. A grand king-making ceremony.
Another piece of news is that the prince’s journey is already waiting in Yingdu.
Actually, since he was granted the title of Marquis, Lord Zheng has really tried his best to avoid entering Yingdu by himself, because with the improvement of his status, it is better to stay in Shandong, and he has made his status clear Outside, it is easy to cause unnecessary speculation, especially Yingdu, the former capital, which would become extremely sensitive when paired with his identity.
But Naihe wrote the letter himself, telling Yingdu to wait for the prince to get there and stop to rest, and he would welcome the prince to cross the river into Shanxi Province.
My nephew is here,
As an uncle, he naturally has to be more enthusiastic.
......
It has been raining lightly for many days in Yingdu, but in recent days, the elites in Yingdu have become very hot inside.
In fact, Xu Wenzu had already completed the reform of Yingdu's original bureaucratic and powerful system, but if others were eliminated, the vacant position would inevitably be filled by someone. What Xu Wenzu could guarantee was that he would not be constrained by others in his governance. At the same time, Those dignitaries who "cared for their motherland" were excluded from this circle, but they were unable to eradicate this group... No, it was the human instinct to follow others.
After the first emperor of Yan Kingdom came to the throne, he basically never left Yanjing, and the farthest he went was to the back garden on the outskirts of Yanjing;
After the new emperor came to the throne, he never left Yanjing at all. There are rumors that he will patrol the world of Yan. It is very likely that he will follow the style of the previous emperor and only stay in the capital.
So, this time Prince Dayan comes to Yingdu, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yingdu has returned to Yan for several years. He has been to the Marquis and the Prince, but this is the first time he has come to the orthodox lineage of the emperor.
Nowadays, the rule of the Yan people over Jin is becoming more and more stable, and the Jin people are becoming more and more accustomed to the rule of the Yan people. In addition, Pingxi Marquis has won another battle, making everyone in Yingdu gradually acquiesce in the Yan country. The imperial court will continue and continue to rule here.
Therefore, for the sake of themselves and the future of the family, countless people want to come to see the prince every day.
But because the prince lives in the prefect's mansion, and the gate of the prefect's mansion has been closed to outsiders, many people can only scratch their heads and scratch their heads anxiously outside, but have no idea how to contact him.
However, what is surprising is that the Chengqin Palace showed great indifference to the prince's visit to Yingdu.
The manager of the palace gave gifts and conveyed greetings to his prince. Afterwards, the palace seemed to have nothing to do with the prince.
On the contrary, during the journey, the prince took the initiative to send someone to inquire, saying that the prince would comply with His Majesty's will and go to Shishan to worship Emperor Taizu of Chengguo, Situ Lei, on behalf of His Majesty. This meant that Prince Cheng was invited to go with him.
The prince was very moved, but then he refused.
The reason is that Prince Cheng has to study hard in the past few years and is not allowed to go out, and he has made great wishes.
For those who don’t know, I really think that what the Married Prince’s Palace said is true. At the same time, I am also surprised that this son is not even willing to accompany him to worship his own father;
But there are also discerning people in Yingdu who have experienced many troubles and know the reason. That is, the Marquis of Pingxi issued a ban in Yingdu, and the person banned was Prince Situ Yu.
On weekdays, you can relax a little. The married prince went out incognito, drank a bowl of haggis soup on the streets of Yingdu, and even went hunting for game in the red tent. Even if his whereabouts were revealed, it would not be a big deal. I believe that Pingxi Houye would not take it. Why do you want to do this?
But if you want to do anything under the banner of becoming a prince, you will violate the prohibition of Lord Pingxi.
If the Pingxihou Mansion is declining,
that’s okay, the ban will be lifted naturally;
The problem is that Pingxihou has just won another great victory. , capture the general of Chu State alive and then kill Yi Zhu State, the news that he is about to be crowned king has come to Yanjing City, it can be said that it is red hot.
Under this premise, the deterrent effect of the tight band that Marquis Pingxi put on Prince Cheng's head was naturally stronger.
......
The back house of the prefect's mansion was newly decorated. Xu Wenzu moved out early and gave his original mansion to the prince.
Therefore,
The people standing guard in the prefect's mansion right now are a group of imperial guards who came from the palace to escort the prince here; those who are busy going back and forth are the eunuchs and maids arranged from the palace.
At the same time, there are several teachers from the East Palace who are responsible for the prince's daily homework.
It seems like a small east palace.
Today’s classwork ended,
Prince Ji Chuanye stood up and sent away Mr. Xi, who was born in the imperial examination. After sitting down, he did not bother to eat the plate of cakes that little Eunuch Zhang had given him, but Start by rubbing your wrists.
“Master Liu is even stricter than when he was in the palace.”
Ji Chuanye said.
Little Eunuch Zhang smiled and said: "Master, that's because the master is his student, and Master Liu doesn't want Lord Pingxi to think that his teaching is not good.
Yes You know, what Master Liu is good at is poetry Although Pingxi Marquis has been fighting in the war, the few poems he wrote in his spare time are all excellent works."
Ji Chuanye nodded silently. Pull out a copy of "Zheng Zi's Art of War" from below.
This is a new edition of "Zheng Zi's Art of War". Zheng Houye has no time, and neither does the blind man. It was compiled by people from the Ministry of War of Dayan on the basis of the old book, which is also in "Zheng Zi's Art of War". Under each plan, real battle examples recorded in history books throughout the ages are appended to make this book more vivid;
Many of the battle examples are directly based on Pingxi Marquis's own victories.
Ji Chuanye admired Lord Pingxi very much and couldn't put it down for the book "Zheng Zi's Art of War".
"Uncle Zheng, we have won another battle."
"Yes, Master, judging by the date, Lord Pingxi should be back soon, and you will be able to see him."
“Yes.”
Ji Chuanye seemed to have thought of something, closed the book and said;
"Brother Situ Yu from Prince Cheng's Mansion said that he won't accompany me to Shishan to worship the man... Cheng Guo , Emperor Taizu, right?”
"Yes, he has been banned by Lord Pingxi."
"But Master Xue once told me that filial piety is the first of all good deeds. The world is vast and filial piety is the greatest. Brother Situ Yu will not worship himself. Is it unfilial to my father?”
Little Eunuch Zhang thought for a while, then organized his speech and said: "I am more afraid of the Marquis after marrying into the Prince's Palace."
Ji Chuanye blinked and
asked;
" Zhang Banban."
"The slave is here."
"I took out my father's will, and what my father gave me and kept with you, Zhang Banban, and mine, the prince's seal, but I couldn't get Brother Situ Yu to go out of the city with me to worship his father;
Does that mean that in Brother Situ Yu’s case? In your eyes, Lord Pingxi is more terrifying than me, or even my father?”
When Ji Chuanye spoke, he paused more. After all, he was young, so he would naturally get stuck while thinking, but He was still talking very seriously.
When little Eunuch Zhang heard this, he started to sweat coldly on his back. He knelt down quickly and said
;
"Master, please don't think like that, don't think like that."
You are going to Pingxihou Mansion!
Ji Chuanye looked at little Eunuch Zhang who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"Zhang Banban, get up."
"Minion, minion..."
"I mean, brother Situ Yu, would you deliberately want to...make me...feel like this?"
"..." Little Eunuch Zhang.
"Mom said, you need to think more about things outside. One round of thinking is not enough, you have to add another round, so that it is not easy for someone to catch a shrimp."
Catch a shrimp. This word is a mantra brought by Queen He from the people. Obviously, it was learned by her son.
Ji Chuanye reached out and tapped his forehead.
"Master, Master..."
Little Eunuch Zhang stood up immediately, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, poured a pill out of it, and helped Ji Chuanye take it.
This is Peiyuan Dan.
The prince is young but has serious thoughts. The emperor has discovered this.
When I was in the palace, there was no such situation. Everything originated from the day after the Lu family seized the throne. Ji Chuanye, at a young age, seemed to have been blinded after witnessing something with his own eyes. Some marks that should not belong to his age.
"Huh..."
Ji Chuanye breathed a sigh of relief,
said:
"It's always easy to get dizzy."
"Master, you have to take care of yourself. Good health.”
Young Eunuch Zhang was in the palace before and heard Marquis Zheng telling His Majesty, who was not yet the emperor at that time, that Prince Jingnan in the palace had a very strong body and had never been sick since he was a child.
Perhaps, His Majesty sent the Crown Prince there in the hope that Marquis Pingxi would find a way to help His Highness maintain his physical foundation.
"Zhang Banban."
"The slave is here."
"You said, brother Situ Yu, do you think so?"
"Minion...I don't know."
"Father said that Uncle Zheng is a good person. In other words, anyone who speaks ill of Uncle Zheng is not a good person. Brother Situ Yu is still a bit bad. Ahem..."
"Master, please calm down, please calm down. You can't read anymore. It's time to rest, it's time to rest."
...
"Son."
"Father."
"Call me Dad."
"Yes, Dad."
"Daddy wants to tell you something now."
>"Father's command, please remember it."
"Dad is going to send you to Pingxihou Mansion. Remember, when you enter Pingxihou Mansion, your Uncle Zheng will be the most trustworthy person in your life and the most reliable person in this world. ”
“Also Mother."
"Your mother already has a younger brother, and there should be younger brothers and sisters in the future."
"Call me father. Emperor.”
"Yes, Father."
"Things like Father are the most unreliable." (End of Chapter)
