Although the entire Pingnan Army was returned to the Ministry of War, it still retained its designation, and Xiao Jingchen was still the commander-in-chief. Now he not only holds military power, but also holds the most confidential position of Shangshu Ling in the court. It can be said that he holds all the military and political power.

In his hands, the government and the public were in an uproar for a while, and everyone speculated that he would be established as the crown prince next.

The other three princes, who were used to being pampered in the capital, had to come together to discuss countermeasures in the face of this huge threat.

At this time, in the palace of Prince Yan in the middle of Beijing.

"Second brother! Why didn't your father take back the military power? Do you really want the third child to inherit the throne?" The person who spoke was An Wang Xiao Jingyan. He and Yan Wang Xiao Jingheng were born on the same mother's side and supported Xiao Jingheng very much.

"Fourth brother, you are always so impatient!" Xiao Jamel said slowly: "We can't guess what our father is thinking. If our father really has this intention, there is nothing you and I can do."

Xiao Jingyan said worriedly: "Aren't I afraid that he will take revenge on us for what happened back then? If he becomes the crown prince, how can we survive?"

Xiao Jingheng said coldly: "You and I don't know how many emperors have killed each other after they ascended the throne. Let alone Xiao Jingchen, if you were the heir apparent, you would be the first to attack me."

"Second brother, what you said is serious. We are brothers and we are not better than others."

Xiao Jingyan said as he glanced at Xiao Jingyu who was making tea for them.

Xiao Jingheng sneered and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sat down to drink tea and asked Xiao Jingyu casually: "Now that the third brother is becoming more and more popular, does the seventh brother have any good ideas?"

"Second brother asked him what he was doing?" Xiao Jingyan said, "What can he understand?"

Although Xiao Jingyu was also a prince, his biological mother was not of high birth, and he was not favored by the emperor. Although he had reached the rank of weak crown, he had not yet been granted a title, and he only held a sinecure position in the court.

His hands holding the tea cup were abnormally white, and his face was also pale. He was born with a weak fetus and had been frail and sick since he was a child. He was also weak by nature. He always looked submissive when he was around Xiao Jamelheng.

At this time, he handed the tea to Xiao Jingheng: "Fourth brother is right. I don't have any good ideas. I will do whatever Brother Wang says."

"Look!" Xiao Jingyan said, "Asking him is useless."

He sat down and waved his hands impatiently: "Go, go, buy wine, and ask for Jade Huchun from Qingzuifang!"

The old servant on the side said: "Your Highness Prince An, it is better for me to buy it!"

"Just let him go! That's all he has left."

Xiao Jingyu buried his head and said: "Brother Wang, wait a moment, I will buy it immediately."

After that, he quickly left the house and went to the market.

…

"Brother Zhuang Wan, this Kyoto is really prosperous." Chen Wujin held large and small bags in his hands and looked around like a country bumpkin entering the city.

"Of course!" Zhuang Wan said: "After all, it is Kyoto, and the emperor's feet are naturally the most prosperous."

In order to celebrate Yan Cheng becoming a general, Zhuang Wan and Chen Wujin went out to buy some good wine and food and went back to treat their brothers to a meal. However, she came out with a huge sum of money and couldn't help but buy some, and unknowingly bought them.

Lots of useless stuff.

When passing by a blacksmith's shop, looking at the various weapons displayed outside, Zhuang Wan thought to herself that Yan Cheng didn't seem to have a decent weapon yet. All his money was left with her, so it seemed unreasonable not to buy him something.

She walked over, and the owner of the blacksmith shop greeted him warmly: "This military master, you want to buy weapons? My weapons are famous throughout Kyoto. No matter the princes, generals, or knights, they all come to buy from me."

Zhuang Wan thought to herself, this person is really good at blowing.

"Get me a better sword!"

"Okay!" The boss quickly turned around and took out an ancient sword with exquisite patterns engraved on it from the shop, and said to Zhuang Wan: "This ancient sword is the treasure of my shop. It's called Feng Yin, and it can cut iron like clay.

Blowing hair and cutting off hair, killing people without blood. It is most suitable for those who fight on the battlefield like the military master. If you use this sword, you will definitely be able to defeat one against a hundred and kill all directions!"

"Boss, you are so bragging that you are going to heaven." Chen Wujin said with a smile.

"Sir, I'm not bragging. Look at the blade of this sword..." The boss pulled out his sword, a cold light flashed through him, and he felt the sword's aura was formidable.

Even though Zhuang Wan was an amateur, she felt that it was a good sword based on this cold light.

She asked, "How much does this sword cost?"

"The military master has good taste!" the boss said: "I have always respected you military masters who protect our family and country the most. So, if you want it, I will sell it to you at a loss. Just give me this amount."

The boss raised his index finger.

Zhuang Wan asked: "You won't only need one tael, right?"

The boss smiled and said: "The military master is really good at joking. What good weapons can one tael of silver buy these days?"

"Oh~" Zhuang Wan said: "Twelve taels is not expensive."

"Master Jun is really making fun of me. I said one hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels?" Zhuang Wan and Chen Wujin widened their eyes in shock.

Not only can this boss brag, he also has a dark heart.

"Boss, this is too expensive for you!"

"Is this expensive? You can't find a second sword like this in the world. Let me tell you, there won't be any shop like this after passing this village."

Zhuang Wan said: "I don't think this sword is convenient to carry around, so why not take a look at the dagger!"

The boss hurriedly said: "There are also daggers." After that, he went in and took out a dagger. It looked ordinary. Zhuang Wan thought this should be cheap.

"Master Jun, you may not think that this dagger is ordinary, but it is made of thousand-year-old cold iron and is extremely sharp. It is most suitable for self-defense."

Zhuang Wan felt something bad when she heard about Millennium Cold Iron, and asked weakly: "How much does this cost?"

"It's not expensive, only one hundred and twenty taels."

Two people: "!?"

Zhuang Wan said: "It's so expensive for such a short time?"

The boss smiled and said: "This good weapon is not a piece of cabbage. It is priced based on length. But I have another weapon here, which is also made of Hantie. It only costs twenty taels."

Zhuang Wan became interested upon hearing this: "Come and take a look."

The boss turned around and fumbled again, "That's it!"

Zhuang Wan looked at the knife, which was less than an inch, and said speechlessly: "It's too short for you to cut fruits!"

Boss: "This is the cheap and sharp weapon you want-the throwing knife!"

"..." Zhuang Wan stroked her forehead: "This flying knife is pretty good. You can put the ancient sword in it for me."

After paying one hundred taels, Zhuang Wan felt her heart bleed.

"Brother Zhuang Wan, let me take it!" Chen Wujin said.

"No!" Zhuang Wan hugged the one hundred taels of divine sword tightly, "I'll take it myself!"

The two of them had just walked out of the blacksmith shop when suddenly a man was pushed down at Zhuang Wan's feet. The person who pushed him was a waiter, who cursed: "You come here to buy wine when you don't have money, and you said it was King Yan who asked you to come. You

Why don’t you say you are the emperor’s son!”

"I..." Xiao Jingyu wanted to reveal his identity, but swallowed it back. He didn't expect that the jade pot of spring cost ten taels of silver, and he only had five taels of silver in his body.

"Get out of here!" the waiter said impatiently, "Don't affect our Qingzuifang's business here."

Xiao Jingyu wanted to get up, but he twisted his foot when he fell and couldn't get up for a while.
