Chapter 299 Returning to Beijing (1)

When Xiguan was ravaged by the epidemic and people were unstable, the fifth prince went there regardless of the illness. Not only did the epidemic stop spreading, but also stabilized the morale of the army, so that Xichu had the opportunity to take advantage of this crisis.The ministers started to play, and Long Yan was very happy, and the five princes were named Qi Wang.

As soon as this title came out, some people were happy while others were worried.

At the same time, Emperor Jingwen sympathized with Prince Rui who had guarded Xiguan for many years. Now he was old and frail. , finally agreed to his honorary retirement.He also ordered Xiao Chongshan, Marquis of Wenyang, to be the envoy of Longxi Jiedu, and he will go to handover immediately.

"There are countless congratulatory guests in front of Prince Qi's mansion, and the horses and horses are like dragons. All the ministers of the court have gone to congratulate. Your Highness only sent a congratulatory gift. Is there something wrong?"

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Li Cheng was teasing his half-year-old son with a rattle, and the little guy kicked his legs and giggled.Zhang Ke couldn't help but said.

Seeing the little guy's bright smile, Li Cheng's mood improved by three points, "I'm obviously in a bad mood, why do I have to pretend to be in a good mood to congratulate? Being too hypocritical is not necessarily a good thing. Brother Yun Don't you think so?"

Zhang Ke really didn't know what to say about this matter.The Liang family was punished for the bombing case in Pingjing last time.This time when they went to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the serious Lanjiang murder case, the two princes worked together to get the fake Prince Chun and his wife who repeatedly caused the murders to be punished, and to restore the peace in that area, and the fourth prince almost died. Shouldn't they also be the objects of commendation?
What's more, the fifth prince was obviously sent to Xiguan in a coma after being injured, but in the end he became a hero who stabilized the morale of the army and prevented the spread of the epidemic. How absurd.

The fourth prince sat in the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case of food loss, but it was nothing.What was even more incomprehensible was that if the Fourth Prince hadn't withheld the food from Jiangnan to Xiguan and made it difficult for Prince Rui, would Prince Rui be so angry that he would be willing to hand over the military talisman?

In one fell swoop, two major confidant troubles were eliminated for the Holy Majesty, why only rewarded the fifth prince for his meritorious deeds and gave him a title, but left out the fourth prince?
He is really worthless for the Fourth Prince.

"Your Highness is right. Your Majesty doesn't like people making tricks behind their backs, so it's fine if you don't go today. Even if it is spread to His Majesty's ears, it is understandable to show His Highness's attitude in an upright manner. But today I heard that Prince Donglin Liu Zhi also went to congratulate him, does he intend to make friends with King Qi?"

Li Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, handed the child to the wet nurse, waved his hand, and after the wet nurse carried the child away, he sat on the grand teacher's chair and drank, "This Liu Zhi took a princess with him to buy food. When he came to Daqing, the food hadn't been collected for him so far, he didn't say a word, but pushed the princess into Song Zhu's arms.

He seems to be waiting for the princess and Song Zhu to get married before returning to Donglin with food, but no matter how I look at him, he doesn't look like a peaceful master.From time to time, he went in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, made friends with some high-ranking officials, and even heard that some boudoir girls who didn't have long eyes gave him secret glances.Now he went to Prince Qi's mansion again, this long-sleeved and skillful appearance really aroused doubts. "

Zhang Ke pondered, "Liu Zhi's words and deeds are indeed unpredictable. His Highness has not really met him since he returned to Beijing, why not find a chance to meet him?"

"Let's not be busy, let people stare at him, touch his bottom first and then talk."

"Yes."

"By the way, this morning I overheard Yun Zhongliang saying that Song Yanning and Yun Jiu'an are going back to Beijing to get married. Has anyone found out about this news?"

Zhang Ke said: "I am going to report this matter. There was news from Jiangnan a few days ago that Song Yanning and Yun Jiuan had fallen into the Jiangnan Jiang family together. Now the Jiangnan Jiang family has obtained Yun Jiuan's new drug formula, which can cure There are many diseases, and their medicines are almost in short supply. Many drug dealers come from all over the country, and the sales are quite good. However, I heard that Yun Jiuan was injured in Xiguan, and he still doesn't remember much after going to Xiguan. He only stayed at Jiang's house for two nights, and he has already returned to Beijing."

Li Cheng sighed, "This Yun Jiu'an... is indeed a talent. It's a pity that I didn't recognize her as a dusty pearl at the beginning. Otherwise, it would never be Song Yanning's turn to take such a big deal."

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Your Highness has actually noticed that she is different, but at that time she was too ordinary, and she had some gossip with Liang Ziyuan. Your Highness disdains to be compared with such a humble concubine. Your Highness actually He also has the ability to know people, but he is overwhelmed by the eyes of the world."

Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Mr.'s analysis is correct. It's because I'm too rigid about other people's evaluations and opinions. That's all, don't bring up this matter later. It's because I'm too short-sighted."

"Even if I don't mention it, after she returns to Beijing, His Highness, I'm afraid she will still come to negotiate with His Highness. After all, the affairs of the Lu family and the Pei family are still hanging there."

"However, Lu Xiaomo was killed by Ling Xiang in Di Ju, and Ling Xiang also jumped off the cliff to his death. So far, even the bones have not been found. Li Yi is furious. I am afraid that Yun Jiu'an will hand over the medicine jade formula now, and he will also die." I won't spare the Lu family, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to take action."

"No one wants to have trouble with Yinzi. Besides, the Northern Wei Dynasty has already sent a mission. Even if the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty is suspected of being a spy, Yuan Feiyi will eventually be released under the stakes. Your Highness can go to persuade Li Yi again. , it’s best to ask Yun Jiu’an to hand over the formula before the Northern Wei mission arrives in Beijing, and then return the two of them innocent.”

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Mr. is right. If this opportunity is grasped well, both sides can benefit. I will meet him again when I find time."

"There is one more thing I have to report. The Marquis of Wenyang, Xiao Zhongshan, had already accepted the Wen Family Shuangshu when he was passing through Leyang the day before yesterday, and he was quite satisfied. Let me tell you a little bit, His Highness is kind, and he will remember it in his heart. "

"Hehe, I said that Marquis Wenyang usually looks so dignified and unfeminine that he wanted stunning beauties. That's right, I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate the Wen family. Used the place..."

Speaking of this, both of them were quite happy, and instantly diluted their dissatisfaction with Emperor Jingwen.

Inside Zheng University's scholar's mansion.

Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, Yun Yu'an, because of her body, hates oil and loves sourness, so she specially asked Yuan Chun to prepare sour plum soup early, but she couldn't wait.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Yuanchun came back empty-handed with a face full of resentment, saying that she only brought the cooked sour plum soup halfway, but was seen by my son-in-law, so she brought it to Aunt Gao's room, saying that Aunt Gao vomited so badly that it was too late To cook, first use this bowl to press down, and let Yuanchun go to the kitchen to cook another bowl.

"Girl, it's really annoying. Well, you are the wife of the wife, so it's fine if I don't understand you. Now even a bowl of sour plum soup has to be tight with Aunt Gao first. From now on, the child in Aunt's womb will be the eldest son first. Don’t the servants who are holding up the screwdriver and stepping down on it mean that they don’t value you more and more? They bully you like this, why don’t the servants go back to Yun’s house and sue Madam right now?”
