Return to Beijing

Author: Ran Xi Nian

"Good analysis, but you overlooked one point."

Prince Jin smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Now that Prince Ning is declining, apart from being the eldest prince, how many people are around him?"

"Even if I am not in the capital, I can guess that there are definitely more people around King Zhao than him."

"If the position of commander of the army in the north falls to King Zhao again, then his power will far exceed that of King Ning."

"Not only that, he also has the military power of the North in his hands. Can you tell me what will happen to him in the future?"

Hearing this, Yan Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "With so many forces, more people will join his camp one after another."

When he said this, he suddenly paused and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

When King Ning was strong, how miserable was Emperor Hongwen?

Now that he has finally suppressed Prince Ning's power, it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Hongwen to cultivate a second Prince Ning himself.

Moreover, what he pays attention to now is the balance between the two princes' sons, allowing them to restrain each other.

"Since he is not King Zhao, can this position still fall to Prince Li?"

"Why not?"

Prince Jin asked with a smile, but there was an inexplicable look in the depths of his bright eyes.

Prince Li, that is his father's brother, although he has always kept a low profile.

But he had never underestimated this imperial uncle.

You know, when his father was still a prince, he also experienced a cruel fight for the throne.

Although his father won, he also paid a heavy price, and Prince Li was able to survive such a chaotic whirlpool unharmed, and he also sat peacefully in the position of Prince Li for so many years.

Will he be an ordinary person?

Obviously it's impossible, but he is too good at hiding, and he also knows how to protect himself wisely, and he never interferes in the affairs of the court.

It can also be said that he is a tiger hiding his claws.

However, in recent times, he has received some news from the capital that Prince Li's Mansion seems to be much more active than before.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Prince Li cannot let the people below him do whatever they want. In other words, the activities in Prince Li's palace are probably under the instruction of Prince Li.

Just for what reason, Prince Li, who has always been low-key and wise in protecting himself, would do this?

But he still vaguely felt that this matter was abnormal.

"I have been away from the capital for a while, and Yao Yao is about to move to another house. When I return, I still have to work on getting married. There are a lot of troubles in the North, and I don't have that much time to worry about it."

Hearing this, Yan Yi nodded silently. He knew very well the status of Wanfu Princess Lu Yaoyao in the eyes of their prince.

No matter what military power or power, in front of his prince, they are probably not as good as one finger of Princess Wanfu.

Moreover, his prince is not too young, so getting married is indeed a big deal, especially with such a powerful girl, so he must seize the time to avoid complications.

Three days later, when the morning court was over, Emperor Hongwen specially asked the civil and military ministers to go with him to the city gate to welcome King Jin in triumph.

This time, the southern Xinjiang was coming fiercely. The King of Jin was ordered to go to the southern land in the face of danger to repel the southern Xinjiang and ensure the stability of Dongzhou. This was a great achievement and he was very qualified to receive such treatment.

And this time, before King Jin returned to Beijing, the military power of the North was given to someone else. He was also worried that King Jin would feel uncomfortable, so he came to greet him. Firstly, he gave King Jin the glory, and secondly, he

It can be regarded as a silent apology.

In addition to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Yaoyao also received the news about Gu Jian early and took a carriage to the outskirts of Beijing to wait.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wanfu has arrived."

"Oh? Where is it? Let her come over quickly."

When Emperor Hongwen heard that Wanfu had come, he was very happy. While looking around, he asked Wang De to call for someone.

Not long after, Lu Yaoyao arrived in front of the imperial driver.

"My daughter has met the emperor."

"No need to pay tribute."

Emperor Hongwen smiled, waved his hand, and continued, "Wanfu is also here to pick up Prince Jin?"

"Yes."

"That's just right. I will host a banquet later to reward the three armies. King Jin will go to the palace banquet. Wish you could come too."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao bowed and agreed.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone shouted in the distance.

"Coming."

As the sound came, all the people waiting looked towards the official road in the distance.

The vast team approached with smoke and dust.

At this time, not only the King of Jin came back, but also some military generals from the South who participated in the southern Xinjiang campaign this time.

For such a crucial victory this time, everyone deserves credit. Under normal circumstances, there will be no small rewards.

"I have met the emperor."

When he got close, King Jin got off his horse, and all the generals in the south behind him also dismounted and knelt down on one knee.

"Hurry up and get back on your feet. All of you heroes have worked hard for your long journey."

Emperor Hongwen stepped forward with a kind smile and personally helped King Jin up. At the same time, he did not forget to look up at the southern generals behind him.

His attitude was very easy-going, which made many southern military generals feel warm in their hearts when they met Emperor Hongwen for the first time.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work this time."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Working for Dongzhou is what I should do. It's not hard work."

Prince Jin's attitude was also very gentle, his eyes were full of smiles, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction at all.

His expression made Emperor Hongwen slightly startled, but he quickly realized what he was doing, and his heart dropped a lot.

"Let's go, I've set up a palace banquet in the palace to reward all the heroes."

"Brother, you go first, my brother will arrive soon."

As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards Lu Yaoyao, who was looking at him with a smile not far away.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongwen laughed.

"Okay, then I won't see Wanfu anymore. I think you miss me too much, so I won't drag you with me."

He did not lower his voice when he said this, and everyone around him heard it.

Everyone knew that King Jin and Lu Yaoyao were about to get married. In this case, it was not considered overstepping the bounds, but it actually made everyone laugh in good faith.

When the big guy smiled, the smile on Lu Yaoyao's face froze slightly, and his face turned red.

Although she has a relatively open mind, she still gets embarrassed when being teased in front of so many people.

But King Jin didn't bother to pay attention to Emperor Hongwen's teasing. He already missed Lu Yaoyao very much.

If he hadn't received a message from Emperor Hongwen early, saying that he was bringing the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to greet him at the city gate, he would have decided to go directly to Chengyuan Villa first.

"Then brother Chen will go over first."

"Go ahead."

Emperor Hongwen smiled and waved his hand.

"My lords, let's go first. This young couple wants to whisper something. It's not appropriate for us to be here."

"Hahaha."
