It didn't take long for the imperial edict to be drawn up.
"Xiao Chen, I have already prepared the imperial edict you want. Should you take it to Jinyiwei yourself, or should I arrange for Xiaosi to go?" Ming Chengzu said with a smile as he looked at the freshly prepared imperial edict in his hand.
"Your Majesty, reading out the imperial edict should normally be the responsibility of the father-in-law who is responsible for the ceremony. Although the situation is urgent now, in order to ensure the solemnity of the imperial edict, it is better to let the princes and father-in-law make a trip." Xiao Chen said respectfully.
In the eyes of King Zhao and all the ministers in the court, he had been marginalized by the emperor. At this time, if he appeared in Jinyiwei with the imperial edict, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that this was actually just an illusion.
Of course, Ming Chengzu understood Xiao Chen's concerns and smiled lightly: "Then let Xiaosi go."
Jinyiwei camp, thousands of households in Wang Yuan's tents were bustling with activity.
In the past few days, whenever the emperor went to Huailai Guard, in addition to the Duke of Dongchang Chang and some of the Dongchang captains accompanying him, Wang Yuan, as the top leader of the Jinyiwei here, would naturally also bring some of the Jinyiwei captains with him.
Wang Yuan felt very good after appearing in public for two consecutive days.
Today, the coyote soldier's performance ended early, and the emperor returned to Tumu Fort relatively early, which made Wang Yuan return to the Jinyiwei camp early.
In the past, when I was in the capital, I was always put down by Dongchang, but these days, I am finally feeling proud.
Wang Yuan was in a good mood. He set up a banquet in the tent, entertained several of his subordinates, and drank freely.
Wang Yuan is also a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and is a direct descendant of the Jinyiwei. The tent is not only fully furnished with all the necessary furnishings, but also has thick carpets on the ground. The level of luxury is no less than the residence in the capital.
After finishing a glass of wine, a Baihu looked at Wang Yuan a little suspiciously: "Master Qianhu, should we invite Liu Qianhu to come and sit with us?"
"Forget it about him." Wang Yuan shook his head, "Liu Qianhu is very aloof. I'm afraid this kind of situation is not suitable for him."
This Wang Yuan was five feet tall, dark and thin. But he had a good brain and was good at flattery. He was also deeply liked by the commander Xu Kaiying.
The most important thing is that although his body is small, his reach is not low at all. Although he is a little worse than Liu Rufeng, the difference is not much.
"Master Qianhu, although Liu Rufeng is arrogant by nature, King Zhao came here specifically to see him a few days ago. King Zhao's current popularity is comparable to that of the crown prince. Now there are rumors outside that the emperor may be the leader of the Ming Dynasty.
Pass it to him. King Zhao values that Liu Rufeng. If we continue to isolate him, if he gains power in the future, our life may not be easy." The man from the household said worriedly.
"No." Wang Yuan laughed, "This Liu Rufeng thinks he is noble, and because of this, he will not argue with us."
"Having said that, if he becomes successful in the future, we still have a reason to rely on him, right? We don't want to miss him. Otherwise, we might as well invite him over." The Baihu said with a smile.
Wang Yuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "You boy, you look honest and honest, but you are very thoughtful. Looking at the current situation, no one can say how far it will develop. There is nothing wrong with leaving yourself a way out.
.Go and invite Liu Rufeng."
"Yes." The hundred households stood up with excitement.
Liu Rufeng has always been marginalized in Jinyiwei. If he extends an olive branch today, he will probably leave a good impression in the other party's heart. From now on, no matter who is in Jinyiwei calling the shots, it will not matter to him.
Offending is the right way to go.
After a short while, Liu Rufeng walked into the tent.
"Wang Qianhu." Liu Rufeng raised her hand and bowed.
"Oh, Liu Qianhu, why are you so polite? Come and take a seat, I'm waiting for you." Wang Yuan said with a smile on his face.
"What good thing is going on today? Why are we setting such a table of delicious food? What are we celebrating?" Liu Rufeng smiled, walked to the table and sat down.
"Brother, I heard that King Zhao has come to find you twice. Judging from the current situation, what does it mean that King Zhao can preside over Huailaiwei's 'hunting' for three days? It means that in the emperor's mind, King Zhao has already
You can take over some important affairs of the court on his behalf, just like the prince overseeing the country." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh." Liu Rufeng smiled faintly, "Wang Qianhu meant that today is a celebration for King Zhao."
"Where," Wang Yuan shook his head, "Everyone has seen what happened to King Zhao. Even if we celebrate, it's not our turn to celebrate. When we were in the capital, weren't we Jin Yiwei always being suppressed by Dongchang? Now, then,
The purple-clothed captain of Dongchang has disappeared. During the 'hunting' activities of Huailaiwei, I, the Jin-yiwei, played an important role in guarding and felt proud. So, if nothing happens today, brothers, let's get together and be happy." said
Then, Wang Yuan placed a wine bowl in front of Liu Rufeng, then picked up the wine pot and started to pour wine.
Liu Rufeng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wang Qianhu, you know that I never drink."
"Hey, the past is the past, and today is today. We don't force Liu Qianhu to drink more or less. It's rare for brothers to sit together. You don't drink a drop of wine. How can we have a common topic?!" Wang Yuan laughed.
Then he poured a full bowl of wine for Liu Rufeng.
"Okay, then I will reluctantly drink this bowl." Liu Rufeng said a little embarrassed.
"You can do whatever you want, you don't have to finish the drink. Come, come, eat the food, eat the food." Wang Yuan picked up the chopsticks and greeted.
"Wang Qianhu, please, everyone." Liu Rufeng picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of green vegetables, and put it into his mouth.
The people present here are all members of Wang Yuan's family. Liu Rufeng understood that the other party invited her here just because he didn't want to have a reputation of not taking him seriously.
But in fact, after I was ostracized in Jinyiwei, these people really didn't take me seriously. Looking at the furnishings in Wang Yuan's tent, and then looking at his own tent, I knew that the resources in Jinyiwei were skewed.
How serious is it?
"Liu Qianhu, King Zhao came to see you a few days ago. Did he reveal anything to you?" Wang Yuan said with a smile while picking up a chopstick dish.
"King Zhao is looking for me because of some personal matters." Liu Rufeng replied softly.
After stopping the other party's questioning, Liu Rufeng finally understood that the real reason why they called him here was just to curry favor with King Zhao.
After presiding over the "hunting" activity for three consecutive days, King Zhao was completely different from before, not only in Jin Yiwei, but also in the minds of the entire imperial court.
The prince was imprisoned, the king of Han was deposed, and of the emperor's three sons, only King Zhao remained.
At this moment, the emperor asked him to host the "hunting" activity for three consecutive days. It seemed that he had clearly told everyone that King Zhao was most likely to be the next crown prince.
Some thoughtful people even speculated that the deposed King of Han was all ordered by the emperor, with the purpose of bringing King Zhao to the throne.
"Liu Qianhu is very strict." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
