Chapter 92： Shouling

When Huo Luo did not arrive, it was rumored in the capital that Bei Rong's team was huge. When Huo Luo entered the city, the people knew that what they said was true.

Different from the hundreds of people in the envoy last time, Huo Luo brought two thousand people this time, all of them were young and sturdy people from Bei Rong, all of them were riding tall and strong horses with the same Bei Rong hair style and breeches. When entering the city, the fire Luo started, the Beirong people lined up neatly, the sound of horseshoes hit the window like a torrential rain, the knights looked bad, and the people onlookers did not dare to approach.

Huo Luo deliberately looked at the window where he saw a few youths who ridiculed him when he entered Beijing last time. This time only two people stood by the window. One was one of the youths he had seen, and the other was opened in the temple. The prince of the strong bow he sent.

Huo Luo was satisfied to see that neither of them laughed, Huo Luo pulled the corners of his mouth at them, and showed a scornful smile. In the past two years, he fought in northern Xinjiang, how many times he has experienced battles! These two Han Chinese cats in this beautiful land, even if they can draw a strong bow, how can they be his opponents! He lifted his chin slightly, looked ahead, and walked away proudly.

The three princes tightened their cheeks, watching the Bei Rong team pass by before gnashing their teeth and said: "Bei Rong is so rampant! Entering my capital is like a military parade!"

Shen Zhuo was worried, clasped his hands on the windowsill and said, "Indeed, the Tugu Khan has dominated northern Xinjiang over the past few years and has trained thousands of brave men."

The three princes said angrily: "But my dynasty has been cutting military expenditures! The prince has repeatedly suggested that in the current famine year, we should save money for disaster relief. The father is also worried about the internal disturbances of the victims and adopted the prince's recommendation. But look! Bei Rong is strong. If we don’t serve the army, there will be foreign troubles!"

Shen Zhuo nodded, but said helplessly: "Don't say that you are not ignoring the court now, but what effect will you make of seeking military expenses for the Shen Jiajun?"

The third prince said: "Those people must say that I am partial to the town of Beihou and may be suspected of forming a party! But if the military expenditure is not increased and Shen Jiajun is added, if Bei Rong is in trouble, I will be in danger!" He punched on the window sill with anger. , Quaking the windows that opened outside.

Shen Zhuo knew that if the third prince really made a suggestion, it might be counterproductive, and the prince would stumble the Shen family even more. But if the third prince said that there will be war in the future, the third prince will be recognized by people again, and the third prince will not be blocked.

The prince went to greet Huo Luo again, and saw the power and prestige of the northern soldiers brought by Huo Luo with his own eyes. There was a sense of relief: such an iron cavalry would definitely defeat the Shen Jiajun! He feels that there is hope in the future, and he hates those who offend him now. He returned to the Eastern Palace and told his staff: "You can go get food, grab all the food from the Jiang family, don't leave them with surplus food! The food is placed outside the capital, and you will give it to him along the way."

An staff member hurriedly told the prince: "Don't worry, the prince is already ready. Let's do it now."

Another staff member asked: "His Royal Highness should also be careful of the fourth prince's troubles. If he learns the news, will he appeal to the emperor?"

The prince smiled contemptuously: "That crippled man! What is the use of him telling you to be careful, don't leave any handles. He says nothing, is he what he says"

Everyone unanimously praised His Royal Highness the wise, some people said: "Whenever the emperor really found out, it can always be said that it is for the four princesses to add makeup."

The prince nodded: "The father also said that giving Bei Rong a biological daughter is worthy of them. Even for the fourth princess, he should not be held accountable."

One person said with emotion: "When I saw Huo Luo's ceremonial guard that day, the northern soldiers were very strong. If they were to pay for their food, there was no need to worry about the bandits."

The prince remembered the last time the food was robbed, and frowned slightly and said, "Did you find out what happened later?"

The staff shook his head and said, "No, there are no clues."

The prince pondered: "Why does my palace feel that it's not that simple..."

An assistant asked in a low voice: "Who does your Highness suspect?"

The prince sneered: "Who could have suspected that this palace was Zhenbeihoufu in the past, and now we should add a Pingyuanhoufu. The others, Ye Zhongshu, etc. are all civil officials, how can they collude with the bandits"

The room was quiet for a while, and a person whispered: "We can try our best to catch it."

The prince said contemptuously: "Just don't have any tactics, and you have something to say!" What was done last time was unsuccessful.

The man smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly said: "We can let the people over there speak out, saying that there is food in Huola. If they want to robbery, they will definitely pretend to be bandits again..."

A hurriedly said: "Hey! Huo Luo's soldiers are so powerful, rob them, aren't they looking for death?"

The prince thought for a while, nodded slowly, and asked: "How can this disclosure be made known to passers-by, and don't let the father know. It's best to speak alone, speak out of one person's mouth, and enter one's ears."

Everyone thought for a while, and one person said: "There is an excellent candidate."

Everyone looked at that person, and the person said: "You all remember Xu Chundao who was not removed during Winter Hunting"

One person said: "Oh, at that time, it was Second Young Master Shen who saved his life."

The prince said: "My palace keeps you staring at him, don't let the other side instigate rebellion, you haven't forgotten it"

The man hurriedly said, "I haven't forgotten. He probably knew the intentions of His Highness. At first, he was scared to death. He used wine to calm down his sorrows every day, but later he got better. Over the years, he didn't dare to leave or speak more , Just say something that doesn't matter."

The prince nodded: "Let him go privately to thank Master Shen, and then, out of righteous indignation, revealed the news."

"Well, what a clever plan!" The man praised again and again.

The crown prince frowned: "My palace said, don't "calculate"!"

"Well, let's not mention it." The man said in trepidation.

The next day, a staff member of the prince found Xu Chundao, fearing that there would be too many people, so they did not discuss things at the office, so they decided to go to his house to talk about something at night.

When it got dark, an assistant sneaked into the small courtyard leased by Xu Chundao. Xu Chun's Taoist family is not in Beijing. He lives with two servants and his home is very quiet.

Dismissed the servant, Xu Chundao and the prince's aides were in the innermost bedroom of the courtyard for an hour. Then, the prince's aides quietly left in the dark, thinking that they did everything perfectly.

The neighbor of Xu Chundao's side took money every month for this kind of thing. Although he couldn't listen to the root of the wall, he remembered when the prince's staff came and when they left. People say that the walls have ears, but in fact there are also doors with eyes. That's what they mean.

The next day, the people of Pingyuan Hou Mansion were waiting for Shen Zhuo outside the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. As soon as Shen Zhuo rode out, a few beggars surrounded him. Now the capital is full of beggars, which is no surprise. During the pulling, a note was stuffed into Shen Zhuo's boots.

Shen Zhuo habitually slipped to Guanyi Pavilion, and as soon as he dismounted, he saw Xu Chundao walking towards him from a distance.

Shen Zhuo had followed Xu Chundao in the past, but at this time, he pretended not to know him at all. He entered the Guanyi Pavilion as usual and said hello to the awkward buddy. He glanced over the empty hall with his eyes above the top. It was a pity that no one was playing chess. .

Xu Chundao walked to the vicinity of Shen Zhuo and whispered: "San Gongzi Shen."

Shen Zhuo pretended to be taken aback, and said in amazement: "Who is your king?"

Xu Chundao didn't dare to look directly at Shen Zhuo, and whispered: "Winter hunting that year, I was before the prince banquet, and the second son of Shen saved my life."

Shen Zhuo hurriedly pretended to recognize it and said, "Oh, yes... yes..."

Xu Chundao said: "Xu Chundao's last name is straight in the word."

Shen Zhuo said calmly: "I have seen Xu Xianggong."

Xu Chundao invited him: "Please come with me to the side hall. I have something important to tell him."

Shen Zhuo hesitated and said in a low voice, "Well, Xu Xianggong is the man behind the prince's curtain. If you play chess with me...this is a bit bad, right?"

Xu Chundao seemed to be struggling for a long time, and said firmly: "Although I pay the prince's salary, but I can't violate the righteousness! There are some things, I don't complain! I must talk with the son."

Shen Zhuo thought for a moment, and said: "Then Xu Xianggong will go first, I will go to the clean room, and this will come. This is not noticeable."

Xu Chundao hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for the son in the Jiawu period over there."

Shen Zhuo agreed. He went to the clean room and took out the note from his boots. There was a sneer in his eyes: Xu Chundao's movements were fast. If the people of Ping Yuan Hou were a step slower, he could only judge by guessing. Xu Chundao's original intention.

Shen Zhuohan smiled to the Jiawu Hall and opened the door to enter. Xu Chundao got up nervously, and Shen Zhuo said hurriedly: "Xu Xianggong, please sit down, don't want to see outside."

Although Shen Zhuo didn't have the amiable smile of Shen Jian, he gagged all the year round, and he had a relaxed sense of casualness. Xu Chundao sweated on his forehead and sat hurriedly.

Shen Zhuo said: "I would like to ask Xu Xianggong for his advice."

Xu Chundao swallowed, his eyes afraid to look at Shen Zhuo, and he whispered: "I heard...I heard..." For a while, he couldn't make a sentence.

Shen Zhuo had a moment of pity in his eyes, and said, "If Xu Xianggong is unspeakable, don't force it."

Xu Chundao raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhuo, then immediately lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The prince...intentionally...give him the grain of Huoluo to be transported to Beirong."

Shen Zhuo asked in surprise: "Why does your Royal Highness do this?"

Xu Chundao replied: "Probably it is... Add makeup to the fourth princess."

Shen Zhuo nodded and said, "Food is scarce nowadays. This dowry is really hard to buy. It seems that His Royal Highness is very fond of the four princesses."

Xu Chundao looked at Shen Zhuo with a little surprise. Shen Zhuo smiled and looked at Xu Chundao. Xu Chundao approached Shen Zhuo: "San Young Master Shen! If Bei Rong gets the grain, he will be strong and I will be weak, which is very detrimental to the Shen Jiajun."

Shen Zhuo gave a sigh of relief, frowned slightly, and asked Xu Chun in a low voice: "What does Xu Xianggong want me to do?"

Xu Chundao sternly said: "I am deeply impressed by the grace of Second Young Master Shen, so I came to report it to the Zhenbeihou Mansion. Third Young Master Shen don't question me, what I said today is true. If you don't believe it, Third Young Master Shen can send it in a few days. When people go to inquire, the prince will collect grain, and when Huo Luo leaves, it will be delivered to him outside the city, and sent to Beirong by his welcoming team."

Shen Zhuo frowned: "The crown prince is bold enough to do this. It won't be the will of the emperor, right?"

Xu Chundao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Why! This is the private help of the prince to the fourth princesses. I want Huo Luo to look at the food for the sake of the fourth princesses! The emperor will naturally not let Huo Luo take the food away. In the disaster year, food is not enough!"

Shen Zhuo sighed: "How can the prince do such an unfavorable thing for my country!"

Xu Chundao sighed: "Brother and sister are also deeply affectionate, it's hard to give up!"

This is to leave an excuse for the prince. Shen Zhuoqiang suppressed his urge to say bad things, and clasped his fist to Xu Chundao and said, "Thank Xu Xiang for the public."

Xu Chundao also hurriedly gave gifts and said to Shen Zhuo: "Where and where, if there is anything to help in the future, please give the third son of Shen."

Shen Zhuo smiled and nodded, and the two said goodbye. Shen Zhuo left Guanyi Pavilion. He returned to the mansion, and just thinking about how to meet Shen Wen alone, he heard Yang find someone to call him, saying that he would go to Pingyuanhou Mansion at night and let Li take a good look at him.

Shen Zhuo knew that the Li family had seen him many times, and guessed that this time it was Ping Yuan Hou who wanted to see him, so he was busy changing his clothes and went to Ping Yuan Hou Mansion with Yang.

Shen Zhuo guessed right, indeed Ping Yuanhou was looking for him.

Father Gu's injury was almost healed, and he began to teach Zhang Yunzhao martial arts. Zhang Yunzhao was sick and weak since he was a child, and it was really too late to practice martial arts. He said that he learned art from a teacher to strengthen his body. Father Gu also knew that Ping Yuanhou had arranged this way, but he was actually taking care of himself for fear of being trapped and lonely here.

When Zhang Yunzhao went back that day, he told Ping Yuanhou that he and Young Master Shen were kneeling together to apprentice. Ping Yuanhou did not see Young Master Shen, but Li said that the child was dark and strong, and he was less than six years old. As tall and short as his ten-year-old son, Ping Yuan Hou knew that Father Gu was interested in the physique of his child, and he really wanted to teach that child.

Ping Yuan Hou whispered a few words of "little boy", and he secretly hated that Zhen Beihou was not here. His daughter wanted to marry his son, and his little boy had to learn art from the people he hid! Stupid people are so stupid!

The two families were discussing the marriage, so Ping Yuan Hou asked Li to invite Shen Zhuo to Ping Yuan Hou Mansion on the grounds of seeing his son-in-law to tell Shen Zhuo the news.

Ping Yuanhou looked at Shen Zhuo with a little dissatisfaction. Although this guy has bright eyes, a high nose, and a handsome face, he is much younger than himself!

He turned the jade ball in his hand and condescendingly said: "There is someone in the mansion who wants to teach your brother martial arts."

When Shen Zhuo heard it, he guessed that it was the **** assassin hidden in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion. This is a good thing, but how can I let them meet? He nodded and said, "Thank you Lord Hou, I will go back to discuss with someone and find a location. "

Hou Ping Yuan became interested: "I heard what the person has made recently, but I listened to my people. Yesterday, a close staff of the prince went to the Xu Chundao whom you made to stare at. Xu Chundao will see you today."

Shen Zhuo knew that the people who followed were arranged by Zhang Yunming. When Zhang Yunming was not there, they would naturally report to Ping Yuanhou, and told Ping Yuanhou, "Xu Chundao told me that the prince would send food to Salo in order to add makeup to the four princesses. Huoruo brought the grain back to Beirong."

Hou Ping Yuan’s hand rattled the jade ball, frowning and scolded, “How can you feed the wolf cubs and you will never reach Beirong! There are two thousand people in Huolo’s line, so it’s not easy to rob him of food and grass, don’t Imagine being like the last time, undead or something. The man in your house wants to do what Fire Luo stays here for more than a month. We have to make preparations early!"

Shen Zhuo said in a low voice: "This matter has been arranged, please don't worry, Lord Hou, the food will definitely not reach Beirong!"

Ping Yuanhou said in disbelief: "This is not a joke! Don't be afraid of the dead! The man in your house is too shackled. Tell him that when I was young, I singled out hundreds of enemy soldiers. Those who followed me. No one is afraid of death! If we have something to say, we will definitely be able to do it!"

Shen Zhuo said hurriedly: "Thank you Lord Hou, this matter has really been set up..." After speaking about the situation, Pingyuan Hou haha ​​laughed: "That person is very cute!" Thinking of Shen Zhuo contacting that person directly After Zhang Yunming left, Shen Zhuo intervened in secret matters, and Shen Zhuo must have entered that person's eyes, and Shen Zhuo was also pleasing to his eyes immediately.

Shen Zhuo returned to the mansion with the news of Ping Yuanhou and asked Shen Wen to discuss it. The next day, he ran into Su Wanniang, and then set a time to meet at Zangshu Pavilion.

Since Shen Wen knew that the five princesses were ordained, she felt that the world is impermanent-she no longer knows how many things she does can hit the bullseye, and how many are superfluous.

According to this situation, didn’t he need to have such a meal in the first place, he wouldn’t marry the fifth princess, but he didn’t beat him, the prince told him that he didn’t ask to marry the fourth princess, he always wanted to marry someone, If you can't make it, you have a part.

When she thinks of Takuro, she will think of that **** Zhang Yunzheng...Well, not to mention Taro, she often thinks of him too. She guessed that he must be busy making arrows in the south now, and she wrote some formulas for smelting alloys at the time. She wondered if he could also make them...

Seeing Shen Zhuo and listening to Shen Zhuo saying that Father Gu wanted to teach his fourth brother martial arts, Shen Wen thought of Zhang Yunming's small courtyard. She told Shen Zhuo to see him outside the house at night, and took Shen Zhuo to the courtyard at night.

Shen Zhuo came here first and followed Shen Wen across the wall. Seeing Shen Wen pushing open the unlocked door, he went to light the lamp and asked in surprise, "Whose place is this, how do you know this place?"

Shen Wen said: "It was Mr. Zhang bought it for him... Brother Yuanfang, I used to draw pictures here."

Shen Zhuo asked sensitively: "If you come to draw a picture, do they know if they come or not?"

Shen Wen blinked: "Sometimes they want to come to discuss things."

Shen Zhuo became angry: "Sister! You are a single woman, how can you see them alone! At least I must be on one side!"

Shen Wen lowered the corner of his mouth: "Your light work is too slow!"

Shen Zhuo felt deeply ignored, and said fiercely: "Then I have to come too! What kind of remote brother from the Zhang family, I think he is not pleasing to my eyes!"

Shen Wen laughed all of a sudden, Shen Zhuo stared: "What are you laughing at! He is so stunned and bad-tempered at first sight!"

If Shen Zhuo knew the depression and anger he made Zhang Yunming felt at the beginning, he would have realized it now, and maybe he would believe that there is really a reward for it in the world. He is now thinking about seeing that guy again in the future, how to find a problem and teach him a lesson! I completely forgot how Zhang Yunming beat him when he was outside the city.

Shen Wen smiled: "Brother, that kid is sincere and honest, don't worry."

In this world, it is easy for wives and concubines to be in groups, but it is difficult for one to end. It's easy to be muddled, but hard to be serious. Accidents are smooth and easy, but straightforwardness is hard. Although Zhang Yunzheng quarreled hard with himself, he was simple and frank and not bad-hearted.

Shen Zhuo was unhappy: "What is that kid! How old are you! Don't say good things for him!"

Shen Wen squinted his eyes: "I have argued for you to get married in Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and you didn't thank me!"

Shen Zhuo was taken aback for a moment: "Why are you not the one who negotiated with Mrs. Li?"

Shen Wen smiled: "If I hadn't told Madam Li, the five princesses heard that the emperor was going to choose a concubine, and Zhang's sister would be elected to the palace if she could not, why would Madam Li be so anxious to make a marriage with our mansion"

Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Wen dumbfounded: "You...you..."

Shen Wen raised his chin proudly: "You can say thank you."

Shen Zhuo gritted his teeth: "When you were young, why didn't I bully you a few times!"

Shen Wen smiled and curled his eyes: "Brother, don't think about the useless ones! See how this place is."

Shen Zhuo had to admit that the little girl he had always thought of as sweet and soft was actually a hidden beauty snake, which he really couldn't beat.

Shen Zhuo looked at the house, nodded and said, "The place is okay, but how can I bring my fourth brother here?"

Shen Wen spread his hands: "Of course, let him stay overnight with you, and then carry him back!"

Shen Zhuo called: "What are you kidding?"

Shen Wen was surprised: "You just said that you should come with me? I said that you can't do it lightly. You still don't accept it. You can prove it to me now!"

Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with Qinggong! You haven't held that fat black man recently, right? He doesn't have a hundred catties and he should have ninety-eight! Running so far behind him and back and forth, I can't get tired of vomiting blood. Up!"

Shen Wen had no sympathy: "Why! Weight-bearing exercises are good for your bones. You should carry him more now, and you will not hunch back when you are old."

Shen Zhuo's face is full of lines: "What are you talking about? I hunch back after two or three times on my back, and I have to wait until I get old!"

Shen Wen ignored Shen Zhuo’s protest and said, “Don’t be so pessimistic, you won’t be so fast, at least ten times eight times.” Instead of waiting for Shen Zhuo’s protest, Shen Wen said, “That’s it, let’s go. Go back to sleep! I will walk slower, you can catch up."

Shen Zhuonan: "I'm still your brother! Third brother! Remember! Respect me!"

Shen Wenshun nodded his head obediently: "I respect you, third brother who runs slowly, let's go quickly! Otherwise, at your speed, you won't be able to go back before dawn."

Shen Zhuo stamped his feet with anger, and Shen Wen ran out with a smile.

The next day, Shen Zhuo gave an excuse to Pingyuan Hou's Mansion and told Pingyuan Hou about the arrangement. After returning home, he told Yang that he wanted to enlighten Shen Qiang with martial arts and let Shen Qiang spend more time with him.

On the day of the appointment, Shen Zhuo let Shen Qiang take a long nap. As soon as it was dark, he carried him out of the house, dodged in the street, and sometimes walked over a wall to the courtyard.

During the day, Father Gu, who was wearing makeup, took a car from Pingyuanhou Mansion and passed this lot and recognized the way. At night, Grandpa Gu left Pingyuan Hou Mansion and arrived here.

Shen Qiang was usually asleep at this time, and now he was running with Shen Zhuo's back, his eyes brightened with excitement.

When I arrived at the place, I went in and met Father Gu, and found that it was someone I knew, and he grinned twice.

Father Gu had only one full arm, and the other disappeared from the elbow. He sat on the chair and nodded blankly at Shen Qiang.

Shen Zhuo gave a salute, and Father Gu accepted it, and said to Shen Zhuo: "You are on the side, show him." Shen Zhuo knew that when others were teaching martial arts, they were most afraid of watching bystanders, but Father Gu allowed himself to watch. I am half an apprentice, so it's no wonder that I have received my own worship.

Gu Gonggong asked: "I have practiced horse stances, standing stances, and topping."

Shen Zhuo said respectfully: "Yes, he started going to the martial arts field when he was last year. These are one or two hours a day."

Grandpa Gu said, "Then let's recognize the acupoints. You give him some pointers: Blood Sea, Tanzhong, Jingming, Baihui, Zhangmen, Weilu, Sun, Dumbmen..." There were more than a dozen in a row.

Listening to these acupuncture points, Shen Zhuo pressed them one by one on Shen Qiang's body because they were the key points that could kill people. Shen Qiang giggled, twisting his body back and forth.

Grandpa Gu said: "These acupuncture points have to be memorized, you know?"

Shen Qiang yelled, Shen Zhuo nodded instead, and Shen Qiang nodded when he saw him.

Grandpa Gu said: "You must remember Tanzhong first..." Shen Qiang immediately raised his hand and pointed a little to his chest. Grandpa Gu was taken aback and said, "Blood Sea"

Shen Qiang pointed out again. Father Gu frowned slightly and said all the acupuncture points just mentioned. Shen Qiang smiled and pointed them one by one. Father Gu looked at Shen Zhuo: "You taught him before."

Shen Zhuo shook his head dumbfounded: "My mother said he is dumb, so there is no need to teach him anything."

This kid is a genius! Remember it again!

The corner of Mr. Gu's mouth was slightly raised: "In this case, we will learn the tricks right away. From the simple start-how to hit the Tanzhong acupoint, I said, you demonstrate..."

Shen Zhuo acted according to Duke Gu's instructions, and sometimes Duke Gu would correct him, or use one of his arms to make an action, and then let Shen Qiang imitate it. Shen Qiang learns extremely fast, and many movements are passed only a few times.

Shen Zhuo discovered that Grandpa Gu didn’t teach a set of methods at all, but had a definite target: all the tricks were to attack the other side’s mortal hole in varying ways from top to bottom and left to right. There was no other consideration at all, and they belonged to the death of a man. Kind.

An hour later, Grandpa Gu said, "That's all tonight. What I teach must not be demonstrated in front of others, and cannot be used to compete with others. It can only be used in the struggle between life and death, understand?"

Shen Zhuo nodded, and Shen Qiang let out twice.

When it was set for the next meeting, Shen Zhuo saluted and said goodbye, Shen Qiang also bowed, and Duke Gu closed his eyes.

Shen Zhuo carried Shen Qiang and went out. All the way back home. Shen Zhuo was so tired and panting, but when he arrived in the house, he found that Shen Qiang on his back was already asleep.

From then on, every two or three days, Shen Zhuo went to learn art with Shen Qiang on his back. Shen Qiang was only doing basic skills in the martial arts field, but in the room, Shen Zhuo and Shen Qiang would review and practice the martial arts of Gu Gongjiao.

After a period of time, Shen Zhuo felt that not only did his kung fu become longer, but his feet were stronger than before. He carried Shen Qiang on his back every night, and he wouldn't be so panting when he got home. It seemed that Shen Wen was right again. .

On the third day after Huo Luo arrived, a group of masked bandits robbed two granaries of the fourth prince’s family, Jiang’s family, and emptied more than 200,000 catties of grain overnight. The surrounding yamen understood at a glance: the Jiang family is the family of the four princes, and whoever dares to attack is the emperor, only the prince. Naturally the emperor does not need to be like this, so there is no need to say who it will be. But the prince recently proposed to streamline officials, and the emperor accepted it. If anyone goes against him, it will be streamlined tomorrow. Famines are everywhere now, and without official positions, it is possible to starve to death. Therefore, everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb. When the case was filed, it was only said that the refugees were causing chaos, and it was impossible to trace it.

The crown prince obtained the quasi-trust. The two hundred thousand catties snatched from the Jiang family and the nearly one hundred thousand catties previously stored totaled about three hundred thousand catties, which should be enough.

The prince was relieved about this.

The Jiang family complained that there was no way, so they went to the fourth prince in the palace.

Ding Nei served next to the fourth prince who was setting his own chess record, and whispered the matter.

The four princes held the chess pieces in their hands and thought for a moment, and then gently put down the chess pieces. Two hundred thousand catties of grain are the rations of more than a hundred people in the Jiang family and their servants. The prince didn't even stay at all. He whispered: "Give me a pair of knee pads and let me eat something, so you can put it on."

Attendant Ding went to do it right away. The fourth prince ate and drank, put on the knee pads, and helped Ding’s arm out of the palace gate. All the way to the palace where the emperor was discussing with the minister, he knelt down by the road.

Upon seeing this, Ding's attendant could only kneel next to the fourth prince.

Not long after, someone spread a word in, saying that the fourth prince was kneeling outside the hall.

The crown prince in the palace did not change his expression. His subordinates had already told him that the Jiang family had few children and was vulnerable to a blow. They did it cleanly and left no evidence.

The emperor felt very annoyed by it!

He is really busy now! It didn't rain in spring again, and this scenario is that there will be continuous drought in spring and summer, and the summer grain is gone. Disasters are being reported everywhere, and the grain in the treasury has already bottomed out, and the memorials are like mountains... The prince suggested to streamline the officials, which should have been done, but no one dared to bear the title, the prince actually mentioned it, it seems that it is still Some mind. But this is related to the question of who decides to streamline. It should be the household department, but the court officials said that they would negotiate with several departments, and the disputes were overwhelmingly controversial... On top of this, Huo Luo is here again, and he is playing awe-inspiring in the capital! But now he is about to get married with the four princesses, what else can he do to receive Fire Luo, how to show my majesty, how the wedding of the four princesses is going on...

A lot of things, why the four princes were so disregarded, they knelt in front of the ministers! I'm so ignorant!

The emperor felt that the four princes shouldn't have anything fatal, so he motioned for someone to take him to the palace and prepared to scold him in public!

The fourth prince helped Ding's servant and came in lamely, because he walked in an ugly way, many court officials turned their eyes away and didn't want to look at him.

The four princes knelt again in front of the foundation where the emperor was sitting, and the emperor asked impatiently: "This is the time of the court meeting. What matters do you have?"

The prince’s expression was very innocent, and he was ready to say that the fourth prince would instigate discord and create public opinion for the third prince as long as the fourth prince had any accusations against him.

The four princes stared straight at the emperor without squinting, and said clearly: "Please let me go to the emperor to guard the mausoleum."

There was a silence in the hall, and then buzzing and talking.

The emperor remembered that the four princes had mentioned this a long time ago. At that time, he thought he was complaining, so he did not let him go. Now in front of so many courtiers, he actually said it all, how embarrassing the emperor was! The emperor is not dead yet, what mausoleum you a prince guard!

The emperor's face was not worried, and immediately a minister said: "His Royal Highness the four princes is wrong. The emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. As a son, he will be filial in front of the palace.

The four princes said: "I have a disability and cannot do anything for my father. I only think of the imperial mausoleum praying for the health of my father and my mother and my concubine for death."

When reminded by the minister, he didn't even think about repenting, but insisted on his own opinions!

The emperor was already a foresighted lawsuit. At this time, he didn't want to be entangled with the four princes, so he said: "Kneel in front of the Taimiao Temple, face your ancestors and reflect on yourself!"

When the four princes bowed, they limped and left the court, and as expected they knelt in front of the Taimiao. The third prince heard about it outside, and specially asked the decree to enter the palace to persuade him, but the fourth prince ignored him. The third prince was afraid of something wrong with him, so he dared not go back to the palace and stayed beside him all the time.

As soon as the fourth prince knelt, he knelt until the next morning, without eating or drinking water, and fainted to the ground early. The third prince hurriedly helped him to lie down, and ran up to the morning, and fiercely interceded with the emperor, saying that the fourth prince was already weak and would kill him if he continued.

The emperor said in his heart that this is another thing for no good or bad! Fortunately, the fourth prince was disabled, and he hadn't counted on him. If he wants to destroy himself like this, let him go!

The emperor finally made an order for the four princes to guard the tomb. Although the decree was high-sounding and said something like the four princes' sincerity and filial piety, everyone can tell that the four princes will live in isolation from the world and never again. Think of it.

Although the emperor made this order, the emperor looked back for a while, and he couldn't figure it out: Okay, why did the fourth prince begin to have a convulsion? He said to Grandpa Sun and asked to send someone to check it. The fourth prince came out recently. what's up.

The third princes also didn’t understand. Okay, why did the fourth princes have to guard some imperial tombs. Moreover, the fourth princes got the will and did not delay a day. They packed up all night and sent the things in the palace back to Jiang’s house. He gave it to him, except for some daily clothes, packed with a carriage of books, and was going to leave the palace two days later.

The third prince waited for the fourth prince at the gate of the palace, accompanied him all the way to the gate, and wanted to continue walking with him. The four princes insisted not to let him go outside the city, got out of the car, and bid farewell to the third princes inside the city gate.

Thinking that the fifth princess had just been sent away a while ago, the third prince had tears in his eyes: "Fourth emperor, why are you doing this? You are gone, how can I go to see Old Master Jian"

The fourth prince also sighed lightly, and took out a roll of paper from his arms: "I thought you didn't want to go to school anymore. If you still want to see him, these are a few policy theories I wrote for you. The homework assigned by the old master also has questions that I guess old Master Jane will give. If you don't want to learn, use my leaving as an excuse and stop studying. "Let's not expose the stuff and make Old Master Jane angry!

The third prince suddenly said: "Yeah, what am I going to do!" He took the paper, and said excitedly: "I didn't want to write any more about it! I will tell him next time I go to school."

The fourth prince saluted the third prince and said goodbye. The third prince watched as the attendant helped the fourth prince into the carriage, and drove the carriage out of the city gate, followed by the escorting sergeant. He stood sadly for a long time, only feeling lonely and sad.

The third prince mounted his horse and unconsciously rode to the gate of the Zhenbeihou mansion, went in to see Shen Zhuo, and without asking Qinghong, he dragged Shen Zhuo to fight in his mansion. Fortunately, he didn't have to go back to the palace now, so he dragged Shen Zhuo to prevent him from returning to the house and spent the night in his house.

The day after the four princes left the palace, Bei Rong's brigade was finally settled, and everything was sorted out. Huo Luo led a small group of Bei Rong people into the palace, visited the emperor, and presented to the emperor many special products of Northern Xinjiang, such as fur, rare gems, nanmu and some herbs that the Han people like, such as ginseng. Most of the courtiers felt that it was a foreign matter, nothing delicate and precious.

The wedding of the four princesses was held in the palace.

The prince told the four princesses that Bei Rong had no enlightenment and that he should not bring any antique treasures with him. The food he gave should be enough to satisfy the other party. The four princesses didn't want to marry Huola, let alone bring good things to Beirong, so they let the prince decide the dowry list. The prince looked at the rich dowry his mother left for the four princesses, remembering that his mother was dead, and once again angered the house of Zhenbei Hou Shen and the three princes. He left all the rare treasures in the palace, so that the four princesses would return from Beirong in the future and still have a large fortune. Only some ordinary gold and silver remained on the dowry, which was just a matter of face.

The dowry of the four princesses was transported from the palace to the post house, and Huo Luo held the red silk in his hand, dragged the four princesses to the emperor, and bowed to the emperor.

The four princesses knelt side by side with Huo Luo, smelling the mutton on Huo Luo's body, and vomiting in bursts. From under the hijab, I caught a glimpse of a black nail on Salo's finger. The whole palm was thick and the joints were bent, which made him even more disliked. Keeping his body away from Salo as far as possible, he made up his mind not to let Salo touch him. She was going to explain her purpose to Huo Luo, and asked him to help her prince and brother. After the incident, the two of them would be separated, and they would be able to come back.

Huo Luo felt that the fourth princess had a slap in the palace, so he avoided getting close to him, and his body language clamored to be alienated from him. In the past two years, he has not forgotten the extremely beautiful faces and contemptuous eyes of the "four princesses". When he thinks about it, he is **** and full of hostility. Sometimes he has to kill someone to relieve him.

Now he could get out of this bad breath immediately, but Huo Luo calmed down, patiently walked through the etiquette step by step, and waited for the moment to be alone with the four princesses in the evening.
