The young son of Prime Minister Feng's family was appointed by the emperor to be married to Prince Jing a few days ago. The moment the imperial decree was issued, the entire capital was shocked. Although the Dasheng Dynasty can't help being masculine, few people would marry a man, let alone marry into the royal family as a man. concubine.

In recent days, in the streets, teahouses and restaurants, this topic has been discussed wherever there are people, and of course the shopkeeper has heard a lot.

At this time, the shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard Boss Xu's words: "This young master of the Feng family is so courageous, even if the royal family gives you a marriage, you can just run away as soon as you say it?"

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Is this fatal?Could it be that there is no king in the world, where can he escape to?

Boss Xu shook his head regretfully, and relayed what his cousin had said to him:

"Mr. Feng is said to be beautiful, and women are not as beautiful as him. Last year, when he entered the palace to meet the emperor, our majesty immediately took a fancy to her and praised her as the most beautiful woman in the world. It was probably at that time that he decided to give it to Prince Jing. Now that King Jing is returning to the court after conquering Nanling, he is the Prince of Nine Jewels. There is no seal or reward, and what praise can be higher than giving him a "No. [-] in the world" Concubine Jing! Mr. Feng didn't want to be humiliated, so he ran away from the marriage, alas, even the Qilin guards are now on the lookout, I'm afraid the whole Xiangfu will be affected by him."

"A dignified man, who would be willing to be subdued by a woman," the shopkeeper also sighed, "This Phoenix Prime Minister has power in the court, and Jane is in the emperor's heart, but she can't keep her own son!"

"Prime Minister Feng has more than a dozen sons, and none of them can be passed on to the family. As long as they can please the royal family, not to mention one son, seven or eight are not a problem. Moreover, I heard that the youngest son was originally a bastard and was extremely unfavored. It's not that she looks really good, I'm afraid she's not good enough to be promised to Prince Jing!" The accountant also said with emotion.

"That's right, apart from his looks, Prince Jing's martial arts and martial arts are all first-class. Now that the Nanling Rebellion has been quelled, no one can surpass him among the princes except the crown prince!" Xiao Er added to the topic while serving the dishes. , His tone was a bit aggrieved, "If you want me to say, it's still the young master of the Feng family who doesn't know how to flatter. How many aristocratic families in this capital want to marry the young master into Prince Jing's mansion. Such a good thing happened to him. run!"

Xiaoer's hometown is in Nanling. He heard that the king of Nanling rebelled, and the land of Nanling was devastated. He was worried and anxious. He didn't feel relieved until he heard that King Jing had won a great victory. He was a die-hard fan of King Jing. Hearing this Naturally, it is not worth it for Prince Jing.

"That being said, Prince Jing's appearance... well, vulgar and ordinary people, who can escape judging by their appearance." The accountant shook his head and sighed.

The guys all started talking in low voices:

"Prince Jing wears a silver visor all year round. It is said that few people have seen his true face."

"Because it's completely unrecognizable, I've been wearing a visor all the time, and I've got burns... You can know what it looks like if you think about it!"

"I heard that Prince Jing once took off his helmet in Nanling. Hundreds of thousands of rebels lost their legs just by looking at it. That is Zhong Kui who is alive and well..."

"Cough cough!" Boss Xu, who has been eating sullenly since Xiao Er served the dishes, coughed heavily. Discussing the rumors that have spread into the market is nothing, but talking about the prince's appearance is a serious crime, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Everyone fell silent and lowered their heads to eat. The shopkeeper also returned to the counter with his sleeves in his hands. The only sound on the table was the clash of chopsticks and bowls and everyone's eating.

One of Boss Xu's buddies just came out of a remote village. It was the first time he came to Kyoto with his boss. He was stunned when he heard this, and he asked his companion in a low voice:

"Is this young master of the Feng family a man?"

"nature."

"Prince Jing is also a man?"

"It's even more natural!"

"Can a man marry a man and be a princess?"

The accountant let out a soft snort, as if laughing at this guy's ignorance:

"There is a system in this dynasty. Non-legal sons cannot inherit the throne and royal title. King Jing and His Royal Highness have twins. Since the fourth prince has been canonized as a prince, King Jing cannot have an offspring. Marrying a male concubine is just to sever the heir."

The guy looked blank: "Why, why?"

The accountant gave a "tsk", rolled his eyes, and explained patiently:

"Originally twins cannot inherit the throne, but the third prince, who is now His Highness Prince Jing, lost his appearance due to a fire in his early years, and the fourth prince was able to be crowned prince smoothly. Do you understand this truth?"

Most of the twins are similar in appearance, how can there be two Ninety-Five Supremes, the man nodded dumbly.

"Since the crown prince is the crown prince, the crown prince's son will also be the crown prince in the future. If the future crown prince looks similar to Prince Jing's heir...the royal family must plan ahead and prevent problems before they happen!"

The man sighed and said, "Isn't Prince Jing very pitiful? No one can inherit the title of Prince Jiuzhu?"

"It's not that there is no one to inherit, it's that it can't be inherited by parents and children. Prince Jing can adopt a child from the royal family to raise him under his knees. The method is all thought up by people. What the royal family wants to avoid is just a dragon chair. , there can’t be two similar people.”

"If it is said that King Jing is pitiful..." the accountant finally said with emotion, "It would be better to say that His Highness the Crown Prince has great fortune. The twins have been appointed as heirs. The current Highness is No. 1 in all ages!"

……

At this time, Eleven had already eaten and drank enough with those big men, and they all stood up and prepared to continue on their way.

The little one wanted to try his best to save the young master again: "My lord, is he leaving? In fact, why don't you consider staying in the small shop for one night, I heard that all the official roads ahead are closed, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far... ..."

"It's okay," the young man waved his hands nonchalantly, "No one can block my way!"

Xiao Er was so anxious that he rolled his eyes, this young man is not only stupid, but also very conceited, he really doesn't know what to do!

Han Tong laughed loudly: "Brother Feng, I just like your arrogance. Let's go! Don't be afraid of the road closure ahead. Let's go to Yuncheng. See you and find your brother!"

"Hey!" Eleven was so happy that he clenched his fists and bounced around on the spot.

The figures of several people disappeared outside the door, and the shopkeeper watched off with Xiaoer with his hands in his sleeves, and shook his head again:

"Young man, you'll understand after suffering a few times! If you want to die, you won't be able to pull back even [-] horses... Don't look, there are many injustices in the world, quickly clean up that table!"

Xiao Er sighed and put the towel on his left arm, and went in to clean up the table. He only hoped that those bandits would rob the property, and don't hurt people's lives.

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and stood for a while, but the sun outside was so hot that he turned his back and wanted to go back, but he heard horseshoes not far away, neatly clanging, not only many people came, but also well-trained .

Turning around again, he saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he thought it was a guest, straightened his sleeves, and waited by the door.

Those horses soon arrived in front of the inn, and the first one immediately jumped off a young man. As soon as the shopkeeper smiled, he quickly lowered his head, bent down, and shouted respectfully: "My lord."

The person who came was wearing a black cloud brocade robe with a unicorn pattern embroidered with silver thread on the chest of the robe. This pattern was recognized by everyone in the entire Dacheng Dynasty. In addition, he carried a three-foot long knife behind his back. It is already obvious.

Imperial City Siwei, also known as Qilinwei.

The man's stature is tall and handsome, but his whole body is full of cold killing intent. He took out a portrait and unfolded it "swish". He stared sharply at the shopkeeper's face and asked straight to the point:

"Have you seen this man?"

The shopkeeper's probe looked, and his face froze.

The Qilin Guard immediately caught the shopkeeper's eyes, and asked sharply, "When did you meet? Where is this person going?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed in the direction where the boy in red and several big men disappeared not long ago...

----

In the imperial study room, Sheng Xuanzong was writing with a pen, and the servant Gao Jin lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, and followed him aside.

A blue robe corner appeared beside the door, hesitantly, Eunuch Gao glanced over from the corner of his eye, flicked his whisk, and walked over.

The little eunuch spoke in a low voice, Gao Jin frowned, and glanced at the dragon case again, when Xuanzong was finishing his pen, the majestic eyes of the emperor swept over.

Eunuch Gao shivered, and hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty, Master Feng fainted outside the door of the imperial study, look..."

"Huh!" The emperor sneered, "That old thing is really useless. My son can't stand it. He can even kneel down and get over it. What's the use of him!"

Eunuch Gao said slowly: "President Feng is old, and the sun outside the house is poisonous..."

"The sun is poisonous?" Sheng Xuanzong threw the howling wolf in his hand on the table, "My son personally led the army to march south, and the wolf ran for three months. Is the sun poisonous enough? 30 troops marched to Nanling , trekking through mountains and rivers and sleeping in the open, is the sun bad enough that day? The son he raised and guarded resisted the decree and escaped marriage, but he has the face to think the sun is poisonous!"

The sun is poisonous... It was said by the servant, Gao Jin swallowed the words wisely.

Sheng Xuanzong was furious, his son was actually rejected, and the majestic royal made a joke about being run away from marriage, it is simply hateful!

"Didn't I ask that old man's opinion about this marriage? Was it a royal robbery? Prince Jing is the legitimate son of me and the empress, what character, ability, and temperament are not worthy of his son Feng Huairen? No Exalted!"

The emperor slapped the table heavily with his palm, and a pile of memorials near the edge of the table fell to the ground in a rustle. Eunuch Gao knelt down to pick them up, sighing in his heart while picking them up. Giving him a generous reward, but who would have thought that King Jing would become a laughing stock inside and outside the imperial city? This kind of thing would make ordinary people feel ashamed, let alone the emperor's family, if it wasn't for the enlightened Emperor Xuanzong , the Fengxiang Mansion may have been wiped out.

But Prime Minister Feng is not innocent in this matter. The emperor has been looking for a male concubine for Prince Jing. That was the meaning of the big banquet a few years ago, and the family members of the officials. When they went to the banquet, Prime Minister Feng brought this exquisite and beautiful young master who compared to all the concubines in the palace.

After seeing the holy majesty, Long Xin was overjoyed, and hinted to Feng Xiang the next day, Feng Xiang was flattered and said that he would cultivate and teach well, but a few days after the imperial decree was issued, the old man knelt all the way to the imperial study room, saying that his son Ran.

The emperor finally finished his anger, knowing that this old thing is still needed, he ordered Gao Jin in a deep voice:

"Wake up that old thing, and reward the army from the Tianmen in Xushi, let him cheer up and do things for me!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Gao hurriedly got up and went out, and asked the little eunuchs to send Xiang Feng, who had passed out, to the imperial hospital, and told the others what to say when they woke up, so that Xiang Feng could feel the greatness of the emperor's grace and die no excuses.

The little eunuchs were busy leaving, Gao Jin came back again, the emperor asked: "Can there be news from Song Xing?"

Song Xing is also the deputy commander of the Qilin Guard. After Prime Minister Feng came to plead guilty, the emperor sent him out to find someone. The order of marriage was already made. Concubine Jing wanted to see the dead and the dead. As for how to deal with it... the emperor When I think about it, my veins twitch.

According to his temperament, he really wanted to pull him out and chop him off, but Princess Jing's title was already taken down, and the roster was included in the jade certificate. Once she died, King Jing would not be able to remarry within three years. What's more, how could the royal family want a daughter-in-law with two hearts!

For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to escape from the royal marriage. Sheng Xuanzong wanted to find a precedent and deal with it in the same way, but he couldn't find it!

The emperor gritted his teeth, and Eunuch Gao replied in a low voice: "There is no news about Deputy Commander Song."

"It's all useless! If you can't find Feng Shishi before Shen Shi, let Song Xingyi take the board!"

The emperor stood up and shook his sleeves as he spoke, "Show me Fengluan Palace, I'm going to see the queen."

----

Outside the capital city, the official road stretches for [-] miles and is uninhabited.

It wasn't until the end of the road that one could see a solemn and solemn scene. Three thousand mighty imperial guards stood beside the road, all of them in armor and armed with guns.

Crown Prince Qin Mian and King Ning Qin Qi sat on their horses, followed by a group of servants and several eunuchs. They watched the procession in front of them slowly approaching, and held their breath in unison.

The 30 soldiers and horses stretch for tens of miles. From a high place, it looks like a straight rainbow from the beginning to the end. The flags are densely covered in the distance. The golden word "Sheng" on the black-bottomed flag is waving in the wind, and the golden dragon pattern is embroidered on the bottom. The movement is like a black and gilded cloud.

At first there was a majestic bay red horse, the man on the horse was dressed in gold armor, with a silver helmet covering his face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes as deep as a cold pool.

Behind him is a dark and invisible team, with countless resolute faces, especially with the blood-cold air that has not retreated from the killing, the cold light of swords, guns, swords and halberds is shining, and the chill and coldness permeates the sky and the earth.

The 30 soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty, who fought bloody battles, returned with honor under the leadership of Prince Jing Qin Shu.

Qin Qi let go of the rein and jumped off the horse's back first. Before the bay red horse approached, he ran up to meet him: "Third brother!"

The horse hissed long and hoofed in the air.

"Hey! Jiguang!" Qin Qi greeted the horse, held its head, rubbed against the horse's head and face for a while, raised his head and smiled loudly at the man on the horse's back, "Third brother, you are back !"

Crown Prince Qin Mian stepped forward on his horse and scolded Qin Qi in a low voice: "Eighth Brother, don't be rude!"

Qin Qi said nonchalantly, "I'm not uncommon in front of my third brother to show those etiquettes!"

Qin Mian looked at the man on the opposite horse, his eyes were deep: "Third brother is going to the south to march, and he has worked hard all the way. The emperor ordered me and the eighth brother to come to meet him! Lin Xian, declare the decree!"

An eunuch came out and took out a roll of golden silk. King Jing Qin Shu's eyes were as cold as water, and there were no waves. The sound echoed numerous times on the open official road, shaking the body of the eunuch who announced the decree, and it took a long time before he began to read it.

It was not until Qin Shu received the order that the prince got off his horse. Qin Shu was still kneeling, and said slowly in a clear voice, "See Your Highness the Prince."

"Third Brother, please stand up." Qin Mian bent over and slowly helped Qin Shu up, "You and I, brothers, don't stick to these etiquettes. Father will hold a banquet at Shenwumen to reward the three armies. You will bring 3000 people into the city first, and follow me to return."

The crown prince's words were sincere and affectionate, but Prince Jing only replied with one word: "Yes."

At this time Qin Qi jumped over and hugged Qin Shu: "Third brother, you are back! I miss you to death hahaha!"

There was a softness in Qin Shu's eyes. He looked at Qin Qi and was about to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion in front of him. When he listened carefully, there were actually several people running towards here while crying.

"Shuh—" the imperial guards at the forefront raised their long spears in unison.

Several princes followed the sound and looked over.

The official road has been closed, but this is the fork from Kyoto to Yuncheng and Sucheng. There are many forks in the fields beside the road. Those people don't know which fork they came from. It looks like A group of tall and thick men were jumping frantically across the fields with their heads in their hands, yelling for help while wailing.

There was a Guard of the Imperial Guard every five steps on the side of the road, and several of the Imperial Guards immediately walked over there to drive these people away. After taking a few steps, the Imperial Guards hurriedly retreated, and shouted: " Protect Your Highness!"

The imperial guards surrounded them with a whimper, and even the expeditionary army behind them was ready to move. The surrounding air instantly became tense. Both the crown prince and King Ning were taken aback. Only Prince Jing was very calm:

"Don't panic, it's just a hornet's nest, just light a torch and drive the hornets away!"

Everyone looked intently, and saw a large group of dark objects suddenly appearing in the distant sky, flying towards this direction. The place it passed seemed to be gradually covered by dark clouds, casting a huge shadow below.

The prince hesitated a little, as if he didn't quite trust King Jing's judgment, but King Ning's eyes widened, and he shouted incredulously, "Third brother, are you sure that's a hornet's nest?"

Qin Shu's voice was calm: "Sure."

"But...but that hornet's nest, it's bigger than a carriage!"
