The imperial edict was very clear and did not care about the number of the second prince's entourage. Even at the same time as the edict was issued, the imperial court ordered the garrison troops in Chengdu Prefecture, Jinghu Road and even Gyeonggi Province to be on standby.

Regardless of whether the imperial court still recognizes the second prince, or whether the officials have other plans, after all, the second prince is now considered a rogue.

In fact, it's quite weird, and I can't blame the courtiers for thinking too much about it.

A prince planned to attack the prince, but he was not demoted to a common people, but was struggling to survive outside the country like a bandit.

The imperial court also allowed him to enter the country to pay homage to his biological mother...

Even the common people don't understand this.

As for the courtiers, they all thought of the government's tendency to plan for Annan.

Zhao Xi had no choice. Even if he didn't think so at the beginning, he still had some messy thoughts now.

In fact, for Zhao Xi, before he could not ensure sufficient food supply for the country, he really hoped that Annan, and even the small countries there, would be stable...~ It was the granary of the country.

"With the current military strength of the country, there is really no need for the officials to be so verbose. If you are interested in Annan, you can just use a side force..."

Zhang Dun still couldn't fully understand this matter.

"Zihou really thinks this is an official plan?"

The relationship between Su Che and Zhang Dun has been good since they entered the martial arts hall together, and the two often chatted about court affairs together.

"Isn't that so?"

"Probably not. I remember there was a record in the Jiangwu Hall official's office, which said that the Central Plains dynasties were replaced more or less from north to south. In other words, in the official's mind, Annan has never been a hidden danger to the dynasty."

"We have also met the second prince. Although he is not suitable to inherit the throne, he is still a temporary talent. He is by no means comparable to the fourth prince. Since Bei Liao is a serious concern, why don't the officials send the second prince to manage Bei Liao instead of Annan?

Woolen cloth?"

"Zihou, in Su Che's opinion, the reason why things have reached this point is probably because of the official situation... The fourth prince going east is more like an endorsement of the second prince's behavior."

Since the princes all had the experience of teaching martial arts, Su Che and Zhang Dun were more familiar with the princes than the officials.

Even the prince's ability is more comprehensively understood by the officials in the martial arts hall than by the officials.

It's just a matter for the heir to the throne, and ministers and servants should not get involved, or even talk to the officials about the princes' affairs.

"What about letting the Fourth Prince travel eastward?"

Zhang Dun seemed to agree with Su Che's statement. Thinking about the whole process, it was indeed possible.

"According to what you said, with the current military strength of the country, does it need to be so troublesome to take over Northern Liao?"

The Song Dynasty did have such capital, and it could be so arrogant from the war of annihilating Xixia to regaining Dali.

Zhang Dun is not as delicate as Su Che, so he still has some difficulty in thinking clearly.

"Zi Hou, do you remember that the prince occasionally felt cold some time ago, but there were rumors in the court that the prince was seriously ill...~"

"You mean the rumor is that he is the fourth prince... Then Uncle Chen and He..."

Zhang Dun paused, looked at Su Che, and continued: "The structure is too small and the skills are small, so I think he is a bit high!"

Compared to the fourth prince's behind-the-scenes approach, Zhang Dun preferred the second prince's straightforward approach.

Indeed, according to a report from the Chengdu government, the second prince entered the country alone.

In any case, the second prince's behavior was more like a bachelor's, and he was also magnanimous, so as not to lose the reputation of the royal family.

Whether it was attacking and killing the prince, tying Dali into a chariot, or even leading the remaining soldiers into Dali to fight, it was finally a bit bloody...

"Do you want to participate in the eastward trip?"

Although the Su family is considered a famous family because of the three of them, father and son, after all, they are not as good as the Zhang Dun family in terms of background.

The Fujian Zhang family was considered a famous family throughout the Song Dynasty.

"Why not get involved? Since the officials have no intention of using the fourth prince to manage Fusang and Korea, let's treat it as a business transaction."

"I heard that Fusang is rich in silver. Although the imperial dynasty set the currency levels of gold, silver and copper, in fact the silver coins minted in Gongfang City are the least."

Today's dynasty is no longer like that of the late emperor, who does not think that the territory is useless, and does not think that other places except the Central Plains are barbaric lands.

Of course, this is because when the country becomes strong, the courtiers have the confidence to dare to covet the surrounding territories.

…

The arrival of the second prince to the court attracted the attention of many ministers and people.

The rail station in Bianliang is crowded with people today.

"Second brother..."

The second prince came to Beijing alone, and the prince also met him alone.

The situation is unclear, or the court has no clear statement, and no one in the court is involved in these matters.

As for the prince, he naturally wants to make the most of the opportunity given by his father.

"Brother..."

The second prince wanted to kneel down, but the prince held him up: "Let's enter the palace..."

Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, he still has to avoid taboos at the station. If the second brother really says something inappropriate, some things will not be pushed forward.

In the Qinzheng Hall, the second prince was kneeling outside the door. Wang Zhongzheng only reported once and never replied.

The king knew the whole incident best, and he did not have the thoughts of the courtiers.

An hour passed and there was still no sound in the tune.

"Daddy..."

Originally, the prince had no intention of coming because he was not sure whether his father and second brother's plan was the reason why he was attacked.

But now my father has no intention of summoning me, so I have to go closer and inquire.

"come in……"

The father didn't say who he wanted to let in, so the prince helped the second son up and entered the palace gate.

"thump……"

The second prince didn't know whether it was because he hadn't calmed down yet, or because he was so frightened when he saw his father that he knelt down again after a few steps into the palace gate.

"Daddy..."

I knocked my head on the ground and didn't shout loudly, or I didn't dare to shout loudly and didn't have the confidence to shout loudly.

Zhao Xi took a look, stood up slowly, and waved the servants in the palace to go out... Regardless of whether he had any plans or not, he needed to use this wording.

"boom……"

Zhao Xi showed no mercy in this kick.

It was this kick that made the prince and the second prince feel relieved.

"Now do you know how to fulfill your filial piety? Do you know that since you disobeyed, your mother has never left the palace once?"

"Your mother was less than forty years old, but she died because of you. Now you know how to fulfill your filial piety!"

Zhao Xi's voice suddenly rose... He couldn't explain clearly what kind of state he was in.

Mrs. Duan closed her eyes, still talking about this traitor, but she didn't dare to say anything to plead with herself.

Holding his own hand, his eyes were full of pleading, his lips were trembling, but he never said to forgive this traitor...~

"Daddy..."

"boom……"

Zhao Xi held back his strength with this kick, and the blood on the corner of Nizi's mouth made him hold back...~ If he really wanted to kill him, there was no need to feel so unhappy.

"Because of you, the Duan family has fallen, and the royal family has set a precedent of doing whatever it takes to gain the throne!"

He was really angry, and Zhao Xi really wanted to kick this traitor to death.

But for the sake of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xi had to keep this rebellious son alive, and had to find a way to make up for the disobedient things he did.
