His Royal Highness's actions made the princes really helpless.
I feel relieved when I think about it... His Highness has not returned to the court, so he needs to keep secrets and act in a low-key manner.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the court, perhaps the benefits outweigh the disadvantages by displaying the power of the court in an appropriately high-profile manner.
What was originally a hurried trip to check out the Workshop City, now had to turn into a real celebration of victory.
It’s really not necessary to mention the response of the husbands.
The driver rides a draft horse, and the draft horse drags the wheel cannon. There are five cannons in a row, five lines in a formation, and they are lined up in the first section of the city, neatly and uniformly.
Immediately behind the wheel cannon, there are gunpowder launchers for every three people. Although they are carried by three people, under the unified command, there is no mistake, and it feels like they are a whole.
Further back, there is the formation of the New Army. The muskets in the hands of the New Army, following the unique command of the New Army, are sometimes carried on the shoulders, sometimes flat-ended, and sometimes tilted forward. Every movement is clean and neat,
Sonorous and powerful.
A rail carriage with its fenders removed was pulled by eight horses of the same color. Zhao Xi was still in military uniform, standing in the middle, surrounded by his ministers, and the instructors of the guard camp were arranged on both sides.
On both sides of the carriage was a formation of two thousand soldiers from the escort battalion.
In this sequence, the 50,000 new army troops marched into Bianliang City with a shocking military posture amidst the sound of slogans one after another.
At this time, there was no need to find anyone to maintain order. People consciously lined up on both sides of the street, looking at the triumphant team with extreme pride and reverence.
The scholars in the restaurant stopped drinking and banqueting, the girls in Goulan Restaurant stopped singing, and all the windows on both sides of the street were opened, filled with densely packed heads...
The patrolmen and government officials in Kaifeng Prefecture have forgotten their duties and only know how to express sincere sighs and surprises like the common people.
This is not like those people in the Fourth Army who play tricks during festivals. Those people make people laugh or watch it as a monkey show.
As for His Highness the Crown Prince's team, each individual, as well as the entire team, all exuded a kind of toughness that was admirable but not dared to approach.
"Your Highness, why is this necessary?"
Fu Bi is on duty at Yanfu Palace today, with Han Qi as the leader. Although such a march is very encouraging, after all, this is the capital, and Han Qi cannot tell whether it is appropriate or not. I always feel that such behavior is not that of His Royal Highness.
style of.
His Highness the Crown Prince is not the kind of playboy who doesn't know the importance. He knows the general picture and knows right from wrong. This is the impression His Highness the Crown Prince has given people over the years.
Now, the Western Expedition has just ended, and soldiers are needed to consolidate the western border.
The reason why the imperial court kept the secret secret was because it was worried about the war on the border and considered that it would be difficult to dispatch a team to escort the Crown Prince back to the court.
Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince would directly return to the court with 50,000 new troops!
"Mr. Han, if you knew that we were ambushed when we returned to the court, you would understand what we are doing now!"
"In addition, I want my husband to know that in this battle, the imperial court won an overwhelming victory over the Western bandits, and the possibility of the Western bandits counterattack is almost impossible. Moreover, the new army has fifty thousand people left on the border, which can ensure that the border is safe.
!”
It's okay to be public, because the situation requires it. But Zhao Xi is not so arrogant as to be arrogant with his husband without knowing the importance of it.
"You were attacked? Who did it? Where were you attacked? Are there any casualties?"
The attack on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really not a trivial matter. In today's country, it is even more serious than an official's illness.
There was no reason for Han Qi to be nervous.
"Mr. Han, don't worry. They are just a bunch of bastards and have been captured. This matter is strange and is definitely not accidental. In the end, the court will need to take the lead..."
Now is not the time to talk about this matter. We need to first stabilize the court according to dad's condition.
Han Qi also knew it, but he was just shocked for a moment.
Han Qi also couldn't figure it out. At this time, who would act like a stupid pig and attack His Highness the Crown Prince's team?
Not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince's 50,000 troops, even the guard camp alone cannot be defeated by the 8,000 soldiers of the imperial court.
Isn’t this just being kicked in the head by a donkey?
Fu Bi had already heard about it and had returned to Zhengshi Hall from Yanfu Palace.
He was very anxious and did not understand His Highness the Crown Prince's high-profile approach to the city. But there was nothing he could do. Even if he rushed there now, it would not change the facts.
I could only endure it and wait in the political hall.
The inner garden was already in chaos. After Empress Cao heard that her son had entered Bianliang, she didn't care about her manners and pulled the official's hand with tears in her eyes...
"Guan family, my son is back and has made a triumphant return to the court! My son is not like you at all. He is very high-profile. I don't know if it is right, but I am very happy in my heart."
"Guan Jia, you know, I'm worried that you won't be able to hold on until the day when your son returns to the court. Fortunately..."
Empress Cao couldn't suppress the relaxation and joy in her heart. She just talked to herself and didn't even notice that when she was talking about her son's return to the court, Zhao Zhen's eyes opened, but for a moment, he closed them again as if he was tired.
The East Palace was even more chaotic at this time. The women were looking for clothes that would impress their men, and the servants were also busy.
"Stop making any fuss. In today's court, Third Brother will definitely not be able to think about returning to the East Palace..."
Indeed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a triumphant return to the imperial court... Zhao Xi himself accomplished the fact of returning to the court in triumph.
The emperor was supposed to greet him at the Daqing Hall, but the current situation... is really chaotic.
Zhao Xi originally just wanted to show it off and didn't care much about the ceremony.
The moment the team entered the inner garden and was separated from the people of Bianliang City, Zhao Xi took off his military uniform and quickly entered the political hall with Han Qi and other ministers.
"Your Highness..."
"Prime Minister, His Highness was attacked on his return trip..."
Han Qi did not wait for Fu Bi to question His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior, and directly told such shocking information.
Fu Bi was stunned for a moment, then quickly corrected himself... This was a big matter, big enough to disrupt the country.
"Your Highness, how should we do this?"
"My lords, I need the court's cooperation."
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"From now on, the New Army will fully take over the defense of Bianliang City, and the Dianqian Division will return to the base camp. After the incident is handled, we will make further calculations. This is one."
"Second, from now on, the inner garden will be guarded by a guard camp. Except for those who have received training in the guard camp, all the Imperial City's personal officers will gather at the guard camp. Arrangements will be made after everything is settled.
.”
"Third, from now on, all civil and military officials and clan members in Bianliang, regardless of rank, are not allowed to leave."
"Fourth, on the recommendation of the Political Affairs Hall, a number of people from Dali Temple, the Punishment Division, the Yushitai, the Imperial City Division, and the Zongzheng Temple will be selected to form a review team and prepare to intervene in the investigation."
His Highness the Crown Prince is going to... I have to say that His Highness's arrangement makes it impossible for the princes to make any excuses.
After being attacked on the way back, His Highness had reason to suspect everyone, from ministers to clan members, and even everyone in the inner garden.
The official was critically ill, and the political affairs hall kept it secret. They were able to arrange an attack when His Highness the Crown Prince returned. Coupled with some rumors in the market, it was obvious that they knew the official's physical condition and planned a situation that could turn things upside down.
