Zhu Changcheng stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's take a rest." Several maids had already come up to help King Xiang rest. Zhu Changli usually should have gone to bed at this time, but today he was a little too excited.
It took a long time before I drifted off to sleep.
Zhu Changcheng left his brother's room, feeling relieved for the first time. He didn't know that this younger brother was not the best candidate to be the prince because of his gentle temperament. However, this trip to the capital was extremely dangerous, and the outcome was still unknown. He couldn't take him away.
Taking it with you will only make him stay.
If he is not allowed to sit firmly in the position of King Xiang, with the viciousness of those concubines, I am afraid that something will happen to the family as soon as he leaves. Only when he becomes King Xiang, will he have the opportunity to protect himself no matter success or failure.
If he wins, he will be safe and sound. If he loses, Xiangyang still has natural dangers. The other princes around him will surely suffer a lot if they are dragged in like this. They will not have the energy to deal with Xiangyang for a while.
The only thing he is worried about now is that there is not enough time for this younger brother to grow up. He must become stronger himself to face the coming storm.
At the same time, the teams of King Rui and King Heng had already set off. One night during the march, Mo Feng received a letter from a flying pigeon.
"Whose letter can be sent here?" Prince Heng was curious.
Mo Feng shook his head and handed the letter to King Rui: "It's for you."
King Rui was not surprised at all: "It's time to arrive. If there was no movement, I would have thought that my brother had changed his gender. Since we have arrived at the realm of my brother, it is a bit unreasonable not to say hello.
"
Mo Feng pondered for a moment: "Calculating, we should be at the border of Jingzhou Prefecture now. Is it a letter from Prince Hui?"
King Rui sat at the table under the flickering candlelight and wrote a brief reply: "Who else can there be besides him?"
Prince Heng also came over and snorted with disdain when he heard Prince Hui's name, which was much more serious than his usual disdain for Mo Feng.
Mo Feng couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with Prince Hui? You look like you don't want to see him."
King Heng said in his heart that Xiao Wang doesn’t like to see you, but it’s not easy to say it to your face because of the face of brother Rui Wang. After all, this magic stick does seem to have two brushes, and brother Rui Wang’s body is really good under his care.
He's much better now, and it's no longer easy to keep looking at him with irritating looks.
So he coughed twice and answered the question in a rare and gentle tone: "King Hui is a brave and foolhardy man, and he is surrounded by some guys who can flatter him. They all have no ability, but they are very ambitious. They spend all day stoking that useless guy.
...Ahem, King Hui is running to the capital, thinking about doing something earth-shattering all day long, just daydreaming."
King Heng always called King Hui "that trash", but King Hui was King Rui's brother after all. He was still very polite in front of King Rui. He almost didn't change his words just now, but suddenly changed his voice in the middle and almost bit him.
own tongue.
When Mo Feng saw him rubbing his face and looking miserable, he knew that Prince Heng had always been unkind to Prince Hui. Now Prince Rui was going to say hello to his brother, and it was impossible for this boy to stay here, otherwise the meeting would not be pleasant.
, so I must be in a bad mood at the moment.
Thinking about this made him feel better. He had been seeing this kid challenge him every day for the past few days, but he couldn't help but beat him up. Now he was finally going to see him defeated. If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have laughed three times.
, it is really a good reincarnation in heaven, who can the heaven bypass!
King Rui wrote the letter and tied it to the pigeon's leg, watching it flutter its wings and melt into the moonlight, and smiled with his lips pursed.
"You seem quite happy?" Mo Feng was curious. It stands to reason that King Hui who came to express condolences to his brother at this time obviously did not want to care about his health, but saw King Rui's intentions and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
.
King Heng said that he was brave and foolhardy and he was surrounded by a group of brainless guys. This was not groundless.
After all, it is well known that King Hui went to the capital the year before last and tried to make a big move in the capital by leveraging the power of the then cabinet chief Wen Laothief and the Wei family. In the end, he failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice. Wen thief was dismissed and Wei Zaode retired.
Township, the Wei family disappeared overnight.
King Hui was also driven back from the capital in despair. Mo Feng guessed that if the emperor had not been able to spare manpower at that time, it would have been difficult for King Hui to come back, and he might have ended up like King Xiang.
And now this brainless King Hui is coming to take a share of the pie, and King Rui can still laugh! Mo Feng had to admit that most of the time he couldn't guess what the prince was thinking, and he was afraid that he
The twists and turns in my heart are no less tolerable than those of the emperor.
King Heng guessed that he was going to say hello to the annoying King Hui in the next few days, and if nothing unexpected happened, he might have to go with him. When he thought about it in the past few days, he felt particularly depressed, and he was not even interested in quarreling with Mo Feng.
, I muttered a few words under my breath and went to sleep.
Although the voice was very low, Mo Feng's ears were not very good, and he could vaguely distinguish "unlucky", "that damn fat man", "Xiao Wang will not let him have an easy time", thinking that the boring march will become colorful in the future.
I feel better.
Although King Rui couldn't hear what he said, based on his understanding of King Heng, he could guess what he was thinking with his toes. King Heng and Mo Feng were already enough to give him a headache, and the thought of adding more...
A grumpy King Hui, Zhu Changhao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
After returning from the battle with Jonathan, Lin Chong quickly calmed down. On the one hand, he continued to fully arm the three battalions with Jonathan's firearms. On the other hand, he also selected a small number of elites to intensify training. He wanted to cultivate a group of his own deadpools.
What no one expected was that he actually put these people in charge of Mu Mu and Mu Xi.
Mu Mu is just a child, and Mu Xi is only sixteen years old, and is still a weak scholar. How can he convince those elites who are powerful and powerful?
When Wang Chengen heard about this, he came to Lin Chong worriedly and advised Lin Chong that these two children should wait two years!
Lin Chong threw a memorial out in boredom, which frightened the little eunuchs around him into silence and did not dare to speak out.
"Mu Mu can be considered your apprentice. Don't you know how capable he is? He dare not say it. He is always enough to deal with those ruffians. As for Mu Xi, he is sixteen years old, and some are sixty.
Even those who are young may not be able to play with him, so just wait and see, I have a hunch that these two boys will not let me down."
"But there has never been such a precedent in this dynasty... Would this be possible..."
Lin Chong picked up another booklet: "There is no precedent, let's start here. Gan Luo can become prime minister at the age of eight, not to mention that they are both almost thirty years old together. Does Mr. Wang have any questions?"
Wang Chengen could feel the increasingly natural nobility and coercion around Lin Chong, and he could not say anything else: "Your Majesty is saying that this old slave is worrying too much."
