Jianglin City.

When King Ying unified the world and traveled across China, he passed through Yanjing City. It was a severe drought and the people suffered a lot. However, when King Ying arrived in Yanjing City, sweet rain fell from heaven. The people all said that King Ying was powerful and made God sympathize with him. They all knelt on the side of the road and shouted long live. King Ying was very happy, so they changed Yanjing to Jianglin.

Later Zhao family won the world and replaced it. During the reign of Zhao Mu, all the men of the emperors became independent. King Yun of Qi destroyed the princes and returned to power the Emperor Zhao. He was granted the eighteen counties of Zhongzhou as fiefs. Later, Qi Shao, the second son of King Yun of Qi, destroyed Zhao to avenge his father and brother, and then established Jiang Lin in Zhongzhou as the capital. After Qi Shao became emperor, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the country was growing stronger and stronger. Jiang Lin, as the capital, also became the most prosperous place in China.

Years of stability have made Jianglin City more than one city and nine cities open. Even at night, the lights are brightly lit in Jianglin City. The vendors selling stalls in East City are bargaining with customers at this moment. The talented drinkers who raise glasses in the West City are drinking and talking about the beautiful appearance of their young lady. The carriage vendors from north to north are shouting for pedestrians to avoid them. The madam with heavy makeup in the South City and the hunchbacked bent turtle were impartially and frivolously obeying the guests and walking into the fireworks.

As a carrier pigeon flew over the outer city of Jianglin, the inner city of Jianglin City was in front of him. Compared with the outer city, this inner city was much quieter. The royal family and important officials in the capital all lived in the inner city of Jianglin. If ordinary people were not brought into the inner city, they would be punished with disrespect. At this moment, there was an official residence in the inner city, which was brightly lit and looked out of place with the quietness of other official residences in the inner city. The gate of the official residence was wide and wide, with the front eaves decorated with rafters painted with flying geese, and there were sparrows underneath. The three-opened red doors were closed tightly. The stone lion in front of the door and the horse stud seemed majestic and solemn. The "Fan Mansion" was written on the gate.

The pigeon passed through Jianglin's outer city and caused trouble. It fell into the Fan Mansion. When an old man in a gorgeous clothes saw the pigeon returning, he hurriedly took off the secret letter from the feet of the pigeon, hurriedly walked through the flower gate veranda, layer by layer, and walked all the way. The maids walking quietly in the mansion saw the old man in gorgeous clothes walking in a row, all bowed and bowed to the north of the "Old Butler Wang". He came to the study room on the side of the main room. The maid Wang Ping left the maid outside the door, bowed and lightly bowed the door of the study room and said respectfully: "Master, there is a secret letter coming north."

Even though it was already midnight, the lights in the study were bright, and a sound of old and majestic came: "Enter."

Hearing that the study person allowed him to enter, Mr. Wang hurriedly tidy up his clothes and pushed the door of the study into the door. Behind the screen, a person sat upright in front of the desk in the study, wearing a long brocade robe, a jade belt on his waist, black leather official boots with his feet, a thin face, high cheekbones, and slender eyes. At this moment, he was holding a book roll in his hand and leaning close to the candlelight on the desk to read carefully. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the three strands of white beards under his jaw reflect his nearly sixty years old.

Mr. Wang closed the study door and walked through the screen. Seeing the master concentrate on reading, he did not dare to interrupt. He had to hold the secret letter with his hand and stand beside him and wait quietly.

After about a cup of tea, the master put the book in his hand on the table and rubbed the slightly sour corners of his eyes. When the old housekeeper Wang saw the scene, he quickly went to the stove to get the hot water wet handkerchief. The master took the overheated handkerchief, wiped his tired face, and said, "Is it a letter from the north?"

"Yes." The old butler bowed and replied.

The master abandoned the repaper on the table and reached out to get the secret letter held by Butler Wang. Seeing that the master was about to open the secret letter, the old butler Wang was about to exit the study. Butler Wang was about to push the door out. A trace of coldness flashed in his slender eyes and called the old butler: "I told you that your nephew is more peaceful in the world. In recent days, the emperor has always mentioned the affairs of the world in the world. There is no problem in this chaos in the wild. If you miss the major affairs in the north, hum, you should consider it yourself."

Butler Wang was stunned when he was leaving the study room. Although he bent down, he heard the master's sudden words and was so scared that he knelt on the ground in an instant, leaning on the ground with his forehead, and was frightened: "I will definitely be a good restraint for my nephew and dare not miss the master's affairs."

The master looked at the old butler Wang who was kneeling on the ground for a long time. His slender eyes retracted his sword-like eyes. He didn't look at the butler who was kneeling on the ground again. He opened the secret letter. After a while, the master finished reading the secret letter in his hand, looked at the butler Wang, and said with his beard: "Get up, you have been with me for many years. Today, I am not trying to punish you. Your nephew has done whatever he wants in Bianjing, and there are more and more extraordinary things. The contact with the north is too serious. I am worried that if he continues like this, the court will definitely notice it. The emperor is the best at understanding people's hearts. If you show any flaws, you and I will never be able to recover."

Mr. Wang knelt on the ground. Although it was winter, the cold sweat on his body had soaked his underwear and said, "Mr. I will give you a divorce letter to my unsatisfactory nephew. I will definitely restrain his words and deeds and do my best to do my job."

The master caressed his beard and said, "No, you go in person this time." The master looked at the old housekeeper Wang who still dared not get up, and said again: "When the ancestor of our dynasty defeated the Huns, he had the help of the Central Plains sword god Li Kurong. After I established the country, Li Kurong built Wangli Villa outside Bianjing City. Now Li Kurong can't leave seclusion. His Wangli Villa will send an invitation to those who practice martial arts in China every three years. This time, your nephew said in his letter, Li

Kurong has been practicing martial arts for many days and has not been in seclusion. There are rumors in the world that he has become a demon. This year, the three-year period is here again. Wangli Villa is here again. Yingli Ling will be held again. Yingli Association will be held after the New Year's Day. Your nephew has a reputation now. If you are not surprised, I will be invited. One is to ask your nephew to Kurong to explore the truth about Kurong; the other is to go to Jianzhou and spread my message and noble character. That thing must be obtained as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll go east all night and will definitely live up to the master's advice." Mr. Wang said yes, maybe he had been kneeling for a long time, but when he got up, he was stagnant and still forced to support his waist and left.

Looking at the figure of the old housekeeper Wang getting up and leaving, the master stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then looked out the window, far away from the deep palace where Qi Yun was so strong that he was full of strength, and a faint grin appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then called out: "Come, prepare a sedan chair."

The servant who was held back by the old housekeeper Wang outside the study room, heard the master's call, hurriedly walked out of the study room door and said yes.

After a stick of incense, a pair of sedan chairs were waiting here at the back door of Fan’s mansion. The master bowed his head into the sedan chair in casual clothes and "go to the Prince's Mansion". Two strong sedan chairmen heard what the master said, lifted the sedan chair and walked quickly towards the Prince's Mansion.

After Qi Yun Emperor Qi Shao established the country, he had two sons. The eldest prince Qi Wu was brought by Qi Shao since he was a child to teach the way of governing the country. However, Qi Wu, although the name contains the word "wu", he is cruel by nature and misbehaving. He has no attitude as a crown prince in his country when dealing with people. On the other hand, the second prince Qi Tao is just like his name, Wen Tao, martial arts, benevolence, filial piety, and unrighteous in his work, and friendly and polite to others. All civil and military officials praised him. In recent years, Qi Shao has become more and more close to Qi Tao. He has asked Qi Tao for his advice on handling matters in the court. This year, Qi Yun Emperor Qi Shao appointed the second prince Qi Tao as the King of Ning, and personally chose a site to give it to the Ning Prince's Mansion. Recently, rumors have spread in the court that sooner or later, the emperor will abolish the crown prince and make the second prince the crown prince.

A large number of officials jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor to establish a new crown prince, but a group of censors refuted it, saying that "establishing a legitimate and establishing a eldest son" was an ancient ancestral system and could not be violated. The two sides first submitted their own memorials, and then in the court, officials headed by Zheng Zhi, Minister of Personnel, listed the unethical affairs of the crown prince. He asked Emperor Qi Shao to re-elect the crown prince, while the censors Qingliu, led by Ouyang Wei, the left censor, strongly advised the emperor to follow the ancestral system and not to abolish the eldest son. The important officials of the two sides quarreled, and finally Qi Shao was furious and issued an order that if anyone else would discuss the crown prince again, he would be killed and unpardoned, which calmed the storm. After this storm, Qi Wu and Qi Tao, who were originally respectful to his brothers, were not as harmonious as before.

The prince Qi Wu was drinking a slutty wine in the prince's mansion, feeling upset. Recently, he was scolded by his father in court, saying that he was inappropriate in handling matters in the southwest. He even praised the court for his contribution to the relief of the disaster victims on behalf of the court, which made him lose face in front of a group of officials such as Zheng Zhi. Although his father was angry a few days ago and protected his position as the prince, if this continues, his younger brother, Ning Wang, may really replace him as the crown prince. However, whether it is the strategy of governing the country or the skills of archery and horses, he is not as good as his younger brother. Thinking of this, Qi Wu's irritability could no longer be controlled. He waved his hand and was about to send off the maids who were singing and dancing in the hall, but he knocked over the maids who were pouring wine for him while waving his hand.

"Bold", Zhao Lun, the eunuch of the Prince's Mansion who was serving the side, spoke out and scolded him.

The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve, and kowtowed continuously: "I am guilty of my servant, I hope the prince will forgive me."

"It's okay," Qi Wu waved his hand to stop the eunuch's words of scolding the maid. He stood up and walked to the maid, leaned down, held up the maid's tender face with his hands, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the maid's forehead that had just kowtowed and begged for mercy, but a cruel smile appeared on his face: "You don't look down on me, the incompetent prince, right?"

"I failed for a moment, please spare me." At this time, the maid looked at the young and handsome face of the prince with a cruel light in her eyes, and she still murmured mercy in her mouth.

Qi Wu smiled and wiped the blood on his forehead for the maid, stroked the maid's weak face, stood up, and played with the blood-carved brocade handkerchief in his hands, and vomited lightly with thin lips: "Dead by the stick." After the prince finished speaking, the eunuch who had just spoken out, waved his hand, and two black-armored Qi Yunwei appeared immediately, dragging the little maid who was so scared that he could not even shout out the mercy.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, both the dancers and the eunuchs and the servants were silent. For a moment, everyone stood with their heads down. The wails from outside the hall made everyone unable to bear to listen anymore. Only the prince Qi Wu in the hall stood with a smile on his hands.

A young eunuch came out from behind the screen and whispered a few words. Zhao Lun waved his hand to send the young eunuch and quickly walked to Qi Wu's side, saying with his ears: "Report to the visit of the prince, the right prime minister Fan Mou." When Qi Wu heard this, he signaled in his eyes. Zhao Lun turned around and waved his hands to everyone in the hall. The maids and subordinates in the hall bowed and retreated. For a moment, only the prince Qi Wu and the eunuch Zhao Lun who were serving him were left.

Fan Mou came from his prime minister's mansion, and under Zhao Lun's guidance, he walked through the corridor of the prince's mansion. He glanced at the little maid who was killed by a stick on the bench outside the hall. Then he lowered his head and continued to go into the hall without saying a word, but a trace of imperceptible sneer passed through the corner of his mouth.
