The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 319
Guo Yu frowned slightly and said, "My lord, although I haven't seen this person before, I have heard of him a little bit. Among the people, it seems that this person's reputation is not very good."

"I know. According to what you said before, the crown prince is very likely to become the new monarch. As the crown prince's eldest son, he is also the only son. If there are no special circumstances, then he will be Dayan's third monarch."

"That's not necessarily the case. The prince is only in his 40s now, and he still has the possibility of having children."

"No, if it is possible to give birth, he would have given birth sooner, sir, let's see if the third prince and the seventh prince are not two or three heirs.

The prince has only one son, Feng Huo, and Feng Huo's reputation is not very good. If he can have children, I don't believe that the prince will not have more. "

"My lord, do you mean that the crown prince is barren?" Guo Yu asked in surprise.

"Well, this is just my guess, but I think there is a great possibility." Changsun Ji nodded.

"What does my lord mean, can we get in touch with Feng Huo?"

Changsun Ji nodded and said: "You can arrange this matter, but don't worry, wait until I have dealt with the affairs in the capital for a while before making arrangements."

"Of course." Guo Yu nodded.

The next day, in the eldest grandson's other courtyard.

The so-called long absence is better than a new marriage, the eldest grandson Ji has been away from Yanzhou for such a long time, now that he returns to the mansion, he naturally wants to have a good time with Feng Wan'er.

However, because Changsun Ji was injured, and Changsun Ji had just returned to the capital, there were still many things to do, so it was not too late for the two of them to quarrel.

No, not long after the sky turned bright, Changsun Ji, with the help of Feng Wan'er, put on the court clothes.

He just entered Beijing yesterday, so he can rest for a day.But today he has to enter the palace. After all, as a general returning to the capital, he needs to submit all kinds of things he encountered in the suppression of the rebellion.

Because Emperor Yan was not in the capital, and the crown prince, as the supervisor of the country, only represented the government affairs of the whole country, and could not hold the early court on behalf of Emperor Yan.

Only when something important happens, the prince can summon all the ministers to discuss government affairs.

For example, when the Liang army rebelled in Yanzhou, a meeting was held to discuss who would lead troops to suppress the court, and when Changsun Ji asked the court for a reward, he also held a meeting.

On weekdays, when there are generally no major events, officials at all levels perform their duties.Together assist the prince to take charge of the world's government affairs.

If anyone has any important matters, they will go to the palace alone to report. Usually, they can make a decision after discussing with the prince. If the prince is not sure, he will send someone to call the officials to discuss it.

However, even if the morning court is not opened, the officials who enter the palace to report matters must wear official robes and report government affairs during the morning court time. After all, it is impossible for the prince to wait in the palace for twelve hours a day Enter the palace to report government affairs.Unless it's an emergency.

So in order not to be too late, Changsun Ji got dressed with Feng Wan'er's help and left the room.

Wang Gang had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing Changsun Ji coming out of the room, he went forward, cupped his hands at Changsun Ji and said, "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Changsun Ji nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Accompanied by Wang Gang, Changsun Ji got into the carriage and walked straight to the palace.

The carriage made a "creak, creak" sound on the bluestone road. Changsun Ji lifted the window and looked out.

At this time, the air was slightly humid and foggy, and the sky had just brightened, and the sun had not yet risen.

But people have started to appear on the road.People in the capital generally work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

However, in order to grab a good position on the street, some vendors often wait on both sides of the street before dawn.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the street, which did not affect Changsun Ji's carriage.

Because the eldest grandson Ji lived in another courtyard, although that house was awarded to Feng Wan'er by the palace, it was not very close to the palace.

Changsun Ji's carriage traveled through several streets before arriving at the main street leading directly to the palace.There are many alleys on both sides of this main street, but the width of the alleys is already comparable to that of some main roads in the capital.

Most of the buildings on both sides are also very luxurious. These are the residences of some royal families and generals and marquises of the Yan Kingdom.

The carriage drove across the street, reached the end of the street, and stopped outside the palace wall. Changsun Ji got off the carriage, gave Wang Gang instructions, and then walked into the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Changsun Ji revealed his identity to the gate guards, and Changsun Ji walked through the gate of the palace and walked in.

There were eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace. Changsun Ji ordered a random eunuch and asked him to take him to find the prince.

Because this time is the time for the ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss matters with the prince, so in order to prevent the ministers from finding the prince, the prince will stay in the meeting hall during this time.

Under the leadership of the little eunuch, Changsun Ji stopped when he was about to reach the gate of the meeting hall. He gave the little eunuch some broken silver and asked him to retreat.

After that, he walked alone to the entrance of the meeting hall.

At the entrance of the meeting hall, there were two rows of soldiers standing vertically, and two rows of eunuchs stood on both sides of the door.

Seeing Changsun Ji approaching, an eunuch standing next to the door came over, bowed to Changsun Ji and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness is discussing matters with the adults in the Young Mansion, and I would like to ask you to stay in the side hall for a while. Wait a while."

"Okay." Changsun Ji nodded.

"My lord, please." The eunuch made a gesture of invitation to Changsun Ji, and then brought Changsun Ji to the side hall.

Changsun Ji walked into the side hall, found a seat at random, and a servant placed a plate of flower cakes and a cup of hot tea on the table next to Changsun Ji.

Since he got up in the morning, he rushed to the palace, and he didn't eat in the mansion, but now he was really hungry after seeing the flower cake.

Changsun Ji reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was sweet and soft, and tasted good.

Changsun Ji is very satisfied with this kind of service arrangement. Waiting is something that can easily make people impatient, especially if you are still hungry. Now there are cakes and hot tea, not to mention other things. It makes people feel very comfortable.

The eunuch who brought Changsun Ji in originally stopped moving when he saw that Changsun Ji had eaten a piece of pastry.Although he didn't know what kind of official the other party was, just looking at the eating etiquette, the eunuch knew that the other party was from aristocratic family, not some upstart official who was promoted.
