Feng Yuqian's army arrived outside the city gate the next night. However, he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, according to Gu Qiancheng's request, he first sent a letter to Gu Chenghuan in the city, and then set up camp outside the city.
, there is no sign of fighting at all.
The second monk of the Feng Family Army was at a loss as to what their little general Feng's idea was, but no one dared to ask. They all obeyed the orders obediently and went to bed to refresh themselves.
The Feng family army thought that there would be a bloody battle the next day, and everyone was prepared. However, at dawn, the city gate opened. Gu Chenghuan did not bring any soldiers, but only several members of the court.
Minister, please go out of the city to personally welcome the prince back to the capital.
After Jing Yan escaped, Gu Chenghuan took over the power in the capital, released all the important officials in custody, announced Jing Yan's crime, and ordered the ministers to prepare and follow him to welcome the prince back to the capital.
It’s not that there are no ministers who are dissatisfied, it’s not that there are ministers who accuse Gu Chenghuan of being a rebellious minister, but Gu Chenghuan only said one sentence, “Jing Yan is ambitious and intends to overthrow my minister. Your Majesty is wise and has already understood and made plans in advance. My Gu family is lurking in the palace under the emperor’s orders.
Jing Yan's side."
Of course, Gu Chenghuan didn't just talk. In order to prove his innocence, he also came up with Qin Jiyan's secret decree. However, this secret decree must not be made public until it is completed.
Combined with Jing Yan's previous actions, Gu Chenghuan's words are 50% credible. As for the 50% victory, naturally we have to wait until the prince returns to Beijing and Gu Chenghuan hands over the military power before we can believe it.
"What does this mean? No more fighting?" All the soldiers looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was going on until someone said, "The leader of this rebellion is Gu Chenghuan, and the prince's biological mother is also named Gu. Now
The prince and the prince's biological mother are going to the city, why would he stop them?" Everyone finally figured it out.
"It seems that there is no need to fight this battle." The deputy general nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene.
He is not afraid of war, but he does not want to fight with his own people. Fighting with his own people is a kind of tragedy in itself.
"We are all members of His Royal Highness, so we can fight for whatever reason." Another lieutenant saw more clearly and shouted loudly.
Whether it is them or the Gu family, their purpose is the same, which is to quell the civil strife and help the prince ascend to the throne.
When Feng Yuqian saw Gu Chenghuan getting closer and closer, he apologized and led his men on horseback. After a brief communication with Gu Chenghuan, he led five thousand elites to escort Gu Qiancheng and Long Bao into the city.
It’s no wonder that Feng Yuqian is so cautious. People are really unpredictable. Gu Chenghuan is Gu Qiancheng’s younger brother, but there’s no guarantee that he doesn’t have the idea of becoming a king on his own. Once they enter the city alone, they will be killed. He can only bring his own
Only when soldiers enter the city will it be safe.
Gu Qiancheng had no objection to this, and Long Bao just nodded seriously.
Even though Long Bao is still just a little kid, no one dares to ignore him.
Last night, Gu Chenghuan put the city gates and streets under security. At this time, except for the heavy soldiers, there was no one on both sides of the streets. It was a bit scary to be empty, but it was safe. There was no need to worry about people with ulterior motives mingling among the people.
The group entered the palace smoothly, and Feng Yuqian kept guarding Long Bao to avoid any accidents.
In the palace, the important ministers of the court, headed by Mr. Jiao and Feng Sijin, had already been waiting in the main hall. As soon as Long Bao entered the palace, all the ministers shouted "A Thousand Years Old Prince". Some of the die-hard royalists even burst into tears.
, I wish I could thank God.
God knows how much they hated it when Jing Yan announced that the emperor was dead and the prince was missing.
Fortunately, fortunately, God has eyes, and the prince is back.
"My lords, you don't need to be polite." Faced with hundreds of courtiers kneeling in obeisance, Long Bao was not timid at all and raised his hands calmly, not as grandly as a child.
He had no choice but to go to court early every day with his father to accept the worship of the courtiers, and he had long been used to it.
There is a small seat next to the dragon chair, which is the seat of the dragon treasure, and there is also a seat behind the curtain, which Gu Chenghuan prepared for Gu Qiancheng. The ministers have no objection to this.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the prince ascends the throne, Gu Qiancheng, who has the support of the Gu family, will definitely be the queen mother. As the prince's biological mother, she has the right to listen to the government when the prince is young.
The prince had just returned to the palace, and the old ministers did not dare to discuss major matters with him. After expressing their loyalty and excitement, all the ministers left the palace, leaving only a few important cabinet ministers to discuss the next matters with the prince.
Although the mutiny by the rebellious ministers and traitors has subsided, the life and death of the emperor are unknown, and there are still many things to do next...
There were originally nine ministers in the cabinet, but now there are only five left. As for where the other four went, Long Bao did not ask, because he knew even without asking, that those four ministers were either killed by Jing Yan or they defected to Jing Yan.
.
Based on the backgrounds of the four adults, Long Bao guessed that the latter was more likely.
The cabinet ministers were still headed by Mr. Jiao. Mr. Jiao first asked about the prince's situation, and then brought up the business, "Your Highness, the rebel leader Jing Yan announced to the world that the Holy Emperor is dead. I wonder if this news is true?" After hearing the news, they
Of course they didn't believe it, but now that the prince had appeared, but the emperor was nowhere to be seen, they really didn't dare not believe it.
Something is really going to happen to the emperor. The prince is young, and Gu Qiancheng has the support of the Gu family and the Feng family army. The power may have to be ignored.
"I believe that my father will be fine. Jing Yan must be lying. My father is the son of destiny. How could he die so easily?" Long Bao clenched his fists and his voice was choked. For a moment, the ministers couldn't tell the difference.
What does this mean?
This seems to say a lot, but it is of no use at all.
"Your Highness is right. Your Majesty is the son of a true dragon. He will never die in the fire as Jing Yan said." Regardless of what the prince meant, Lord Jiao agreed.
As long as the emperor is not recognized for his death, the prince will have no way to succeed to the throne, and the power will not fall into the hands of the Gu family.
"Pass this palace's order, seal the city, and search for the whereabouts of your father with all your strength." The prince didn't care what Mr. Jiao thought, he just followed Qin Jiyan's instructions and said what he should say.
"Yes." Mr. Jiao accepted the order, and at the same time he did not forget to glance at Gu Qiancheng behind the bead curtain, secretly praying that Qin Jiyan was okay.
"I'm tired. Sir, if you have nothing to do, please kneel down and pay your respects." He had said everything he needed to say, but Long Bao was afraid that if he continued to speak, he would not be able to answer, so he decisively drove them away.
Although he is precocious, he is still a child and does not understand the intrigues and intrigues between adults, nor does he understand the meaning behind their words. He still needs Qin Jiyan's step-by-step guidance in order to suppress the ministers.
"I bid you farewell. Your Highness is a thousand years old." Mr. Jiao and others bowed down and retreated. Only Feng Sijin was still in the palace and did not leave.
Xiao Longbao frowned, "Is there anything else, Taifu?" Feng Sijin was the Taifu who taught Long Bao, and he always tried his best to treat Long Bao, and Long Bao respected him very much.
"Your Highness, I would like to meet Miss Gu alone, is it possible?" Regardless of whether Gu Qiancheng is the biological mother of the prince, she is still just a "girl".
The prince frowned and was about to answer when he heard Gu Qiancheng say: "Master Feng, I'm tired. I'll see you another day." She didn't want to see Feng Sijin now, and with Feng Sijin's intelligence, she might be able to guess something.
.
"In this case...I will retire." Feng Sijin took a deep look at the beautiful figure behind the bead curtain, sighed softly, and lowered his head...
Qiancheng thinks too much, he just wants to see her!
