Chapter 143
When the court meeting was over and the officials left, most of the civil servants had smug smiles on their faces, as if they had won some great victory.

Although many of these civil servants have not yet taken a firm line.But since ancient times, civil and military have been incompatible, and the civil servants are still very happy to see such a martial artist deflated.

It's just that in comparison, Feng Yu, who was the first to speak, now has a complicated expression on his face.This time he completely offended the group of generals headed by General Zhao.

Feng Yu originally wanted to use this skill to get closer to Li Xun.But who would have imagined that the one who really decided for the fourth prince to go to the southern border was actually the sage's word of mouth.

In this way, his role in it becomes somewhat dispensable.Don't say how big this credit is, whether you can get it or not is another matter.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, why couldn't you deliver this order earlier?"

Feng Yu sighed in his heart, and ordered the sedan chair to rush towards the Second Prince's Mansion.Now everything depends on Li Xun's attitude.

……

On the bustling Zhuque Street in the inner city, General Zhao's sedan chair, who was about to go home, was suddenly stopped by someone.

The one who blocked the way was the white-faced old eunuch who had just read out the dictation of the Holy Master.

Opening the car curtain and seeing the person coming, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in a bad mood:

"Eunuch Liu, you are not waiting by His Majesty's side, so you have the leisure to come over and stop me from driving??"

Facing the ridicule, the old eunuch didn't get angry, instead he saluted General Zhao and said solemnly:
"My lord, even if you borrow ten of our family's guts, you don't dare to come to you for no reason. Our family wants to invite you into the palace this time. Your Majesty wants to discuss important matters with the Duke."

"Is Your Majesty looking for me?"

General Zhao's eyes changed slightly when he heard the words, and then he waved to the coachman beside him and said:
"Go, divert to the imperial city."

In the imperial city, there are pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and palaces in a well-arranged pattern.Under the leadership of Eunuch Liu, General Zhao came to Yangxin Pavilion with ease.

Yangxin Pavilion is the place where the old Emperor Li Minji of Dayan Kingdom recuperated.

General Zhao slowly walked into the Yangxin Pavilion, but he saw that Minji Lee had already sat up and was looking at him with a little tiredness.

"Minister Zhao Qi, see Your Majesty."

General Zhao bowed to Min-ki Lee, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

"Hehe, Zhao Qing, you and I have been monarchs and ministers for many years, so let's avoid these vain courtesy. Come, sit down."

Lee Min-ki pointed to the chair in front of the bed with some difficulty, and called Zhao Qi to come and sit down.

When General Zhao took his seat, Min-ki Lee did not speak, but just looked at him quietly.

After a while, Zhao Qi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Minji Lee, and couldn't help asking:
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you called me into the palace today. Is there any problem that I need to solve?"

"No hurry, no hurry~"

Minji Lee shook his head with a smile, held the back of Zhao Qi's hand, and said with a little emotion:
"Speaking of which, the first time I met Qing was at the Beiheguan camp. At that time, you were just a recruit who had just joined the army, and I was just an unfavored little prince who had just won a job.

Hey, time flies so fast, 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye.The little prince back then became the emperor of the Dayan Kingdom, and you became the Duke Dingyuan under one person. "

Minki Lee's face is full of memories, as if seeing the scene when the two met once again.

Two high-spirited young people stood under the big banyan tree, talking happily over wine and talking about their ambitions.

It's a pity that years make people old, and generals also turn gray.

"Zhao Qi cannot have today without His Majesty's cultivation."

Zhao Qi also felt touched.At the beginning, it was only because of Lee Min-ki's appreciation that he was lucky enough to come into contact with the military practice method, which allowed him to display his talent.

Speaking of which, Zhao Qi is optimistic about the fourth prince.In fact, a large part of the reason is because Li Daohui is very similar to Lee Minki when he was young, both in appearance and demeanor.

"Hehe, people like to recall the past when they are old, which made Zhao Qing laugh."

Feeling the warmth from the palm of his hand, Min-ki Lee turned sideways a little tiredly, then suddenly changed the topic, and said in a calm voice:
"Zhao Pifu, let me ask you, are you loyal to me now or to my son. I want to hear the truth!"

Zhao Pifu, this name was called Zhao Qi privately when Minji Lee was still the prince many years ago.

It's just that since the status of the two changed, the monarch and his ministers are different, and this title has never been heard again.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qi looked directly into Lee Min-ki's eyes, and said word by word:

"Zhao Qi is only loyal to His Majesty in this life, and has no second thoughts!"

Seeing the firmness in Zhao Qihu's eyes, Minki Lee couldn't help laughing,

"Okay, okay. Youqing's promise makes me feel relieved. It seems that my emperor is not too bad, hahaha..."

Zhao Qi stayed in the Yangxin Pavilion for nearly an hour, until Lee Minji coughed up blood again and fell into a coma, then he left the palace with a heavy heart.

Five days later, the third room next to the fourth prince's mansion entered the compound.Meng Ziyue was sitting in the yard quietly basking in the sun, and several fellow students beside her were gathered together, with a little worry on their faces.

"Uncle, you said that the fourth prince is going to conquer southern borders, so what about his throne?"

"That's right, Master Uncle, I just heard from people outside that many monks who took refuge in the fourth prince have left."

Every word you say to me, everyone hopes that Ru Lan can come up with a charter.

It hasn't been too long since the Golden Red Sword Sect has been betting on the fourth prince, and withdrawing now would at most lose some face and be criticized by people in the cultivation world for a while.This loss of reputation is nothing compared to the future censure by the Dayan Kingdom court.

On the stone bench, Ru Lan was holding the bamboo slips in her hands, her beautiful eyes drooping.No matter how impatient the fellow disciples beside her were, the expression on her face never changed.

Ru Lan cast her eyes on Meng Ziyue who had been silent all along, and said softly:
"Ziyue, what do you think?"

Seeing Ru Lan asking herself suddenly, Meng Ziyue shook her head quickly, and said in a panic:

"I have no opinion, everything depends on the uncle."

Just kidding, Meng Ziyue is just a small cultivator for such a major matter related to the sect, and she doesn't want to take the responsibility on herself.

Meng Ziyue knows in her heart that the reason why she is now highly regarded by her fellow disciples is purely because of Fairy Yanyun's favor.Keeping a low profile is the most important thing at this time.

Ru Lan just nodded casually when she heard the words, she had already made a decision in her heart, asking Meng Ziyue just wanted to find an introduction.

Slowly putting down the bamboo slip in her hand, Ru Lan said with firm eyes:

"In this case, then continue to follow the fourth prince south."

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

"Uncle, are you crazy? The fourth prince was transferred from the imperial capital by the old emperor at this juncture. Everyone knows what this move means."

The expressions of the other three Hua Qi couldn't help changing slightly when they heard the words.Although Ru Lan has the highest seniority here.But faced with such an absurd decision, several people still couldn't help but persuade them.

It is not in the interests of their Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to get closer to a crown prince who has failed in the struggle.

"I'm not crazy."

Ru Lan waved her hand lightly, signaling to everyone to be calm, and then she slowly explained:
"You can think about it, everyone knows that the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect helped the fourth prince. Now that the fourth prince is defeated, if we still want to get a piece of the pie, we can only express our goodwill to the other crown princes immediately.

But with such a duplicitous move, you have to ask if the other party will still trust us? "

Facing Ru Lan's questioning, several Jinhong Sword Cultivators fell silent.On weekdays, they are all practicing in the mountains, facing these twists and turns, they really don't have much specialization.

Seeing this, Ru Lan continued to follow her advice:

"From this point of view, instead of choosing another crown prince who doesn't know whether he can achieve the throne, it is better to follow the fourth prince all the way. Anyway, he has already been eliminated, and there is not much threat to the throne.

In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, there is a high probability that our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect will not be liquidated.And if the rebellion in southern Xinjiang subsides, shouldn't we take the opportunity to divide up some of the seized supplies?
You know, the imperial court dispatched at least three jiedans this time. "

Ru Lan's words completely convinced all the fellow students.

Indeed, instead of fighting for the illusory treasure house reward of the imperial capital.Now sending charcoal in the snow, in exchange for some rare treasures in southern Xinjiang, is the best solution.

If more than three pill formations make a move, the imperial court's chances of winning are not small.

After everyone in Jin Hong made an agreement, they all spontaneously began to pack their bags.Prepare to go to southern Xinjiang together with him as the guard of the fourth prince.

……

On the day of the October Ninth Autumn Festival, the streets of the imperial capital were bustling with people.

Hei Li wandered around the stalls, picked up a flower hairpin and gently inserted it in his hair, turned to look at the man beside him, and asked excitedly:
"How is it, does it look good?"

"Looks good, everything Li'er wears looks good."

The man beside him took a careful look at Hei Li with a very gentle smile.

"Tch, I didn't expect that the majestic Fourth Prince would not even be able to say anything nice."

Hei Li curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but still happily bought the flower hairpin.

That's right, the handsome man accompanying Hei Li at this moment is precisely Li Daohui who is about to lead the army to the expedition.

And who would have thought that the majestic fourth prince of Dayan Kingdom would not be at home to prepare for the Southern Expedition.Unexpectedly, he ran out leisurely to go shopping with a woman, and he didn't even bring a guard by his side.

Avoiding the parade floats, Hei Li ate candied haws, took a peek at Li Daohui's side face, and suddenly said in a strange way:

"Dao Hui, can you suddenly fall ill?"

Li Daohui was slightly taken aback, but soon understood the meaning of Hei Li's words.In fact, as early as the day after the Great Court Meeting ended, many military generals came to the door and asked him to pretend to be sick at home to delay the time for dispatching troops.

After all, everyone knew that the old emperor had a few days to live, and even the imperial physician in the palace said that His Majesty would not last half a month.

As long as it was delayed until the death of the old emperor, then with the prestige of the fourth prince in the military, there might be a chance to sit on the throne of God.

However, Li Daohui rejected this proposal and insisted on sending troops as originally planned.He touched Hei Li's head with a smile, and said warmly:
"I am so strong, how can I get sick? Besides, Wuman broke through Huzhou, and the people there have been looking forward to the arrival of Master Wang."

It must be a lie to say that he does not covet the throne.But Li Daohui participated in the war and knew the severity of foreign invasion.

As the fourth prince of Dayan Kingdom, the little conscience in his heart still allowed him to overcome all opinions and make his own choice.

"I knew you would say that..."

Hei Li patted Li Daohui's big hand away irritably, and muttered in a low voice.Then he reached out and took out a sachet from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Daohui.

"Here, this is a lucky sachet that I begged my father for a long time. I give it to you, maybe it can bring you good luck."

Li Daohui took the sachet, sniffed it lightly, and said with a teasing smile:

"This sachet is not bad, it seems to be contaminated with someone's smell."

"Don't be disgusting! Let's go, accompany me to see the ship lights, there will be no place if you go late."

Hei Li gave Li Daohui a blank look, and pulled him towards the river quickly.That coquettish voice dilutes the parting atmosphere.

In the middle of the night, in a small courtyard in the outer city of the imperial capital.

squeak-

As soon as Hei Li opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man in a black robe looking at her helplessly in front of the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

"Father, you haven't slept so late."

Looking at the shy daughter holding her arm.Heiming couldn't help feeling a headache.

He was a majestic two-clawed dragon, but he was asked if he was going to sleep or not? !
 Thanks for the reward, Mu Qingnian
