I am the prince in the heavens

110 - Tai'an City

Tai'an City, Xizhimen.

This is considered to be a relatively large city gate in Tai'an City. Usually, there is a lot of people coming and going here, but today it is different.

Today, there are quite a few people standing outside Xizhimen, and most of them are dressed in brocade clothes. Their identities are either rich or noble, and the leaders are even dressed in official clothes. With such outfits, they must be waiting for some important person. .

A group of people have been waiting here for a long time, and there is no dissatisfaction at all because of this long wait.

Finally, when a group of gorgeous carriages appeared on the official road, the waiting group finally smiled.There is only one thought in everyone's mind:
The prince was finally willing to come back. It has been almost a year since the court made the king's will.He still didn't return to the capital to thank him. If an ordinary prince dared to do this, he would have been deprived of his title long ago.This is the only one who doesn't take His Majesty's will into consideration at all, and goes her own way.

The carriage team went to the front of Xizhimen, and the group immediately knelt down to greet them and said:
"Participate in Your Royal Highness!"

The leader wanted to kneel down, but was suddenly blocked by a force, so he had to bend down to salute.

I saw a young man wearing a brand-new python robe walking out of the carriage, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Han, long time no see, I can't afford this gift from you."

The leading person was Han Diaosi, No. 1 eunuch in the palace, Zhao Kai didn't expect him to come out to greet him in person, and he didn't know if it was his own intention or the intention of the one in the palace.In a sense, it was a blatant signal to the rest of the city.

Han Diaosi smiled and said:
"Your Highness, you may be back. You don't know that His Majesty and the Clan Mansion are complaining about you. The grand ceremony of returning to the Ancestral Temple has been in preparation for many days, but His Highness has not been seen.

Fortunately, His Highness had killed all directions in Beimang before, and when the news reached Tai'an City, their dissatisfaction subsided.What His Highness said in Beimang before can be said to be a great achievement, I believe it will not take long to get the reward from above..."

Zhao Kai stopped riding in the carriage immediately, and walked side by side with Han Diaosi on the road.Wherever a group of people passed by, countless people gathered to watch. Zhao Kai's name can be said to be known all over the world, and now he can be regarded as seeing a real person.

Along the way, Han Diao Temple kept talking about the situation in the capital. Of course, most of them were about the situation in the palace. He was so blatant, and he didn't worry about the opinion of the person in the palace.

He didn't stop until he reached a gorgeous mansion, there was already a bunch of servants waiting at the door, Xuanyuan Jingcheng and his wife and many masters of the rivers and lakes were there, it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

After sending Zhao Kai to the gate of the palace, Han Diaosi left, and before leaving, he specially asked Zhao Kai not to run around during this time, so as not to miss the order from above.

Seeing Zhao Kai, the servants couldn't avoid some etiquette, Zhao Kai grabbed Xuanyuan Jingcheng and his wife who were about to salute, and said:

"Brother Jingcheng, please don't salute me again, otherwise Xuanyuan Qingfeng will scold me again the next time he sees me."

Turning to look at her wife, she found that her belly was much bigger, and it was only half a year later that she was pregnant.

Zhao Kai directly gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile:
"Brother Jingcheng, congratulations! Hahaha"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng also laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he held his wife's hand tightly, and said:

"Where is it, it's all thanks to His Highness!"

Zhao Kai said:
"Don't thank me, it's your own credit, I don't care, you will recognize me as your godfather after you are born!"

Zhao Kai's smile came from the heart. After the Xuanyuan family experienced the last incident, only Xuanyuan Qingfeng was left in the younger generation of the main family.

Now that there is another person coming soon, it is really a happy thing. Xuanyuan Qingfeng's burden will be much lighter in the future.
A group of people entered the palace, so Zhao Kai had time to look at the mansion he would live in in the future. Zhao Kai's mansion is not small, and there are hundreds of rooms in the mansion, excluding the guards and maids. Other than the room, most of them are unoccupied.If you want to live full, there is a long way to go.

It was only at this time that Zhao Kai realized that he really didn't have many people he could control in Tai'an City. Except for the Xuanyuan family, there were basically not many people he could completely trust.Even the few swordsmen in Dongyue Sword Pool, Zhao Kai did not dare to say that he had [-]% trust, let alone those servants arranged by the palace.

This is the so-called lack of foundation. After all these years of patronizing cultivation, how can I have time to cultivate cronies!It's not easy.

After dinner, Xuanyuan Jingcheng and Zhao Kai came to a gazebo.After the screen retreated, Zhao Kai said:
"Brother Jingcheng, what's the current situation in Tai'an City?"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng came half a year earlier than Zhao Kai, with his ability, he must have figured out everything that needs to be figured out.

After Xuanyuan Jingcheng pondered for a moment, he said slowly:
"It's not very optimistic. Let's talk about Tai'an City first. The main forces in Tai'an City can be roughly divided into the Forbidden Army, the Zongren Mansion, the Qin Tianjian, Wen and Wu officials, Da Nei, Zhao Gou, and the clan to which the queen belongs. These eight forces, apart from these, are basically nothing to fear.

Let’s talk about the Forbidden Army first. There are about 20 Forbidden Army in Tai’an City. Basically, they all obey the emperor’s orders. Others, even Gu Jiantang, Minister of the Ministry of War, can’t get involved.

Then there is the clan mansion composed of the royal relatives. To be honest, these people only care about money and interests. His Highness is powerful. They must be afraid of losing their rights, so it is estimated that a large part of them are not They are willing to let His Highness take over, but these people should not dare to oppose His Highness easily, so let's call it a neutral faction.

The third is the Qin Tianjian. The Qin Tianjian is a place where the emperors and the royal family have ascended to the immortals for thousands of years. There are thousands of Qi practitioners in it. They are powerful. It is rumored that they can communicate with the immortals in the sky when necessary. , Let the immortals come to the world.For these people, they regard the order of heaven as more important than imperial power.Qin Tianjian is undoubtedly His Highness's enemy, and respecting the city is ashamed of His Highness. If His Highness hadn't defied the law of heaven for Jingcheng, he would not have offended the immortals in the sky. "

Zhao Kai waved his hands upon hearing this, and said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter, no matter whether there is such a thing or not, I will get rid of the Qin Tianjian. Why do we need them to point fingers when we wait for human affairs. The human race should strive for self-improvement, why pray to the gods! Brother Jingcheng, go on."

Earlier Zhao Kai even threw an explosive talisman into the fairy world, they must now hate Zhao Kai to the bone.

"Next is the group of military officers led by Gu Jiantang. If there is no accident, Gu Jiantang is not completely loyal to Liyang. He has his own ambitions, so it seems that he will definitely be His Highness's enemy! You need to be careful.

The fifth is Da Nei. The power of Da Nei includes the eunuchs and the Liyang royal family. They are all powerful masters, including Master Liu Hao, Han Diao Temple, Yang Taisui, Qi Jiajie and others, all of whom are famous first-rank masters. , most of these people are under His Majesty's orders, but a few of them may be of use to His Majesty.

Next is the royal family's spy agency, that is, Zhao Gou, the royal family's think tank, who is also under the royal family's orders at present, but in my opinion, Yuan Benxi must be optimistic about His Highness, and His Highness may find a way to win over.

Then there is the family power that Queen Zhao Zhi belongs to. His Majesty and the Queen have always had a good relationship. Among them, the first prince Zhao Wu and the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan are both born of the Queen, so the power they are implicated cannot be underestimated. Undoubtedly, they would definitely not be willing to let His Highness take the position of prince, so they need to be careful.

Finally, there is the civil servant group led by Zhang Julu. Although he did not express his position clearly, based on my understanding of him, he and Huan Wen should hope that His Highness will become the crown prince. "

Judging from Xuanyuan Jingcheng's tone, he must have seen Zhang Julu already, and the two still have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng's analysis is very detailed. Of the eight forces in the capital, the only one that is really on Zhao Kai's side is the civil servant group led by Zhang Julu. There are three forces opposing Zhao Kai, military officials, Qin Tianjian, and Queen Zhao Zhi.The attitudes of the others are all neutral now. To put it bluntly, it depends on who offers the highest price.
