Yu Wenhao spent the night in the other courtyard and got up before dawn. Yuan Qingling put on his clothes and tied his crown. She felt happy and sad watching this handsome man turn into the mature and steady person he is now.
, stared at it for a moment, and then she said, "Just go ahead and do it. Don't worry about our mother and son."
Yu Wenhao pressed his lips to hers, her face, and her forehead, "In four days, I will come to take you home."
"Well, wait for you!"
She smiled, her eyes full of encouragement, but her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, because they had gone through many ups and downs together, but this time, they were unable to fight side by side with him.
Yu Wenhao hugged her tightly, stared at her for a moment, raised his robe and strode away.
Yuan Qingling watched him leave. The courtyard outside was deep, and the wind lanterns stretched all the way, like lighting up a galaxy, sending him away with his clothes flying.
When they arrived outside, Xu Yi met him and left together.
Yuan Qingling saw Ah Si standing on the porch of the front yard, watching Xu Yi leave. Under the light of the wind lantern, there were tears in her eyes.
Yuan Qingling walked over and said, "Ah Si!"
Ah Si quickly reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Sister Yuan!"
"What's wrong?
Are you worried about Xu Yi?"
Yuan Qingling held her hand and said softly.
Ah Si's pretty face turned pale, "I'm not worried, I've never felt so worried before."
She looked up at Yuan Qingling, her eyes full of confusion, "Sister Yuan, why do you think there is a person in this world who can have such a great fear of him even though we haven't even seen him a few times?"
"Fear comes from the human heart. We think too much of Hong Lie and scare ourselves. The prince said that Hong Lie is also a human being. People have weaknesses. If you grasp the weaknesses, you can defeat him."
Yuan Qingling smiled and said.
"Is it that simple?"
Ah Si didn't quite believe it.
"It's not easy, so they have to work hard."
Yuan Qingling held her hand and slowly walked back into the house, "We have to have confidence in them. They are people who have been on the battlefield. After many hardships, have they returned safely?
Do not worry!"
Ah Si's palms were so nervous that they were sweating. She was worried. She had never felt so worried before.
After listening to Sister Yuan's words, she felt that Sister Yuan might be right. The reason why Hong Liezhi looks so powerful is because everyone says he is powerful, but he may not really be powerful.
Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very powerful and will definitely be able to defeat Hong Lie. After all, Sister Yuan's eyes do not show the slightest trace of worry, which shows that she is also convinced of this.
Yuan Qingling was definitely worried, but after comforting Ah Si, she felt inexplicably calm.
With trust in Lao Wu and an optimistic attitude, she stayed in the other courtyard step by step, doing whatever she needed to do.
After Yu Wenhao left the other court, he returned to the court and made some personnel changes. He directly dismissed the minister of treasury. The entire treasury was controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. He appointed Ling Yan as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and King Huai as the Minister of Internal Treasury Management.
The treasury is divided into an internal treasury and an external treasury. The external treasury is mainly used for various expenditures of the country, North Korea, and even military and disaster relief. In addition to internal expenditures, the inner treasury also has a fixed amount of money for emergency purposes.
In addition, the guard of the Beiying Armory was also changed, with General Reckless and Wu Zhuangyuan Lu Yuan taking over.
These transfers are also temporary. No one knows what the prince's purpose is. After all, at this juncture, it is time to focus on the palace instead of other places. In particular, the transfer and promotion of officials all have to go through the officials.
The most important thing is that there is absolutely no need to do these irrelevant things at this time.
Even Prince Rui thought that this transfer, which he did not know what to call, was just a gift from the Imperial College, and was full of bookishness, but it was not appropriate for him to be in charge of money.
King Huai had never been an official in the court and had insufficient prestige. How could he be in charge of the inner treasury?
Yu Wenhao explained: "This is just to make follow-up arrangements. It is really not important, but I will make arrangements while I have time."
Prince Rui sighed softly, he was young and nervous after all.
The season of fire, the fifth day of the lunar month.
The banquet with Prince Pingnan was held at the Yuelai Inn, and the time was set at 3:30 noon.
At three quarters of noon, when the sun was at its zenith, everyone was praying for an auspicious sign.
Since the morning, the Prince of Chu's Mansion has been on standby. The city gates have been blocked since yesterday, and all entry and exit must be strictly inspected.
The Jingzhao Prefecture dispatched a large number of patrols to patrol the capital. Anyone who found suspicious people would be detained first.
At the end of the Chen period, Gu Si set up defense and dispatched most of the imperial troops to guard the various gates of the palace.
Except for Gu Si's transfer, which was carried out in full view of the public, the transfer of all other personnel seemed to be invisible.
King Wei, King Qi, and Fourth Master Leng have all disappeared. Instead, the Beiying Army has been surging secretly. King An once stayed in Beiying for a while, and many generals from Beiying once followed Di Weiming. Now,
Although General Reckless and Lu Yuan were sent to the army, they were assigned to the armory and had no control over the mobilization of the army. This made people worried.
The Beiying army is now divided into three parts. There are about 50,000 people stationed in the capital. The total number of those sent by King Sun to the southern Xinjiang and suppress the bandits on his own initiative is also 50,000 to 60,000. In other words, in addition to patrols in the capital,
Together with the imperial army and the soldiers of various yamen and princes' palaces, there are only these 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers.
And of course, there are forces lurking among the people here, such as the Lenglangmen and the Hongmeimen.
These Yu Wenhao's people, whether they are emerging or lurking, can actually be counted on the fingers.
But Hong Lie's people cannot be counted. I don't know if there are any of his people in the Forbidden Army.
I don't know how many of the common people are his.
I don’t know how many of the officials in the DPRK and China are his.
I don't know if all the martial arts people active in Beijing are his.
Even so, Yu Wenhao still went to the appointment with several ghost guards. Of course, there were also soldiers from the Chu Palace. Hundreds of people arrived at the Yuelai Inn.
The soldiers lined up in two lines at the Yuelai Inn and guarded the gate. Several ghost guards accompanied Yu Wenhao to the second floor.
Before Hong Lie came, Yu Wenhao put his hands on the railing and looked at the glazed eaves of the imperial city. The midday sun was so fierce that the glazed tiles could not be looked directly at. The golden light reflected back was painful.
People are coming and going on Qingluan Street. This is one of the most prosperous streets in the capital. It sells high-end goods, so most people are wearing makeup and neatly dressed. Seeing so many people guarding outside the Yuelai Inn
People were a little surprised and walked around, not daring to get close.
The ghost guard was searching everywhere in the inn to see if there was an ambush. After a while, he came to report, "Your Highness, we have checked and there is no ambush."
Yu Wenhao nodded slightly, "Then just wait."
He raised his robe and sat down, while the waiter sat down to tea with trembling legs. Today's big battle was too scary.
After Yu Wenhao drank a cup of tea, he heard the ghostly figure saying: "Your Highness, Prince Pingnan is here."
