38, see you

Near the seaside, Minzhou is a big port for business on the sea. It is stationed by the most elite sailor of the State of Wei all year round. This time, the destination of the seventh prince is also this sailor. The governor of the navy was pulled up by Prince Qian and was loyal to both the royal family and Prince Qian, so the king of Qi was very relieved of his safety in the army. However, it was more than 5,000 miles from the capital to Minzhou. It took half a month to travel at a normal speed, which made the king of Qi very worried. He picked out all the guards under his door and sent them to him. Prince Qian also transferred a hundred personal soldiers to him. Zhong Zicheng even sent more than 200 royal troops from his father as the seventh emperors. Zi's guards, together with the 50 big guards given to him by the emperor, the team also reached more than 400 people.

The seventh prince wanted to leave the capital to go to Minzhou, which made the hearts of several princes who also coveted the throne blossom. In the current situation, the seventh prince is the most likely to become the crown prince. The king of Qi spares no effort to support, the obvious preference of Prince Qian, and the empress dowager began to speak for him after saving Qinrou County, which made other princes feel in crisis. Fortunately, the emperor's consideration did not show the intention of the crown prince. In addition, the departure of the seventh princes made the princes see a glimmer of dawn.

Among them, the fifth prince is the most active. Since the prince was abolished, the fifth prince has been moving around. Among the prince's mother, only Shufei, the mother of the fifth prince, can be side by side with the mother of the king of Qi. However, the family power of Shufei is much weaker than that of the virtuous concubine family. There are few people in the court. Only Shuzhong has some local power, but there is no military power, only some administrative power. The embarrassment of no one in the court made the fifth prince struggle at the beginning. He could only rely on the influence of his mother to attract several potential officials in the family and try to get them to serve in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At present, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the cousin of Shufei, and these powerful forces of the Xiang family of King Qian, King Qi, have not penetrated too much. Although the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice He is from the Xiang family, but he is a branch of the Xiang family and is not valued by the family. However, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also has the limitations of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. For the government, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the least influential. It can't compare with the Household Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is only responsible for various local cases. Even if some networks have been established through the involvement of officials, it is far from the Xiang family in terms of interests, let alone the cooperation between Prince Qian and the King of Qi. The power of.

The emperor has unreserved trust in Prince Qian, and he also likes the King of Qi, and the King of Qi is the candidate he most wants to be the crown prince, so he has a let-missive attitude towards the combination of the two forces. So the fifth prince could only survive in the cracks of power.

Fortunately, the king of Qi himself did not want to fight for the crown prince, but just helped the seventh prince to work hard, and the seventh prince was too young to be born, so the emperor was still very hesitant, which gave the fifth prince a little hope. But with his power, he could be uprooted by Prince Qian with a flick of his finger, which made him think about himself carefully. Finally, he focused on the eldest prince, King Wu. The reason was very simple. Among the princes, only the King of Wu had military power, but although his mother, Huifei, was in charge of the phoenix seal, she had no power to speak of. Concubine Hui's mother is a general who garrisoned the border, that is to say, she was also born a general, which caused Concubine Hui's family to have no foundation in the court, especially among the literary ministers.

King Wu has been living in his own mansion since he returned to Beijing in the first half month of the siege and did not return to northern Xinjiang immediately. As soon as the seventh prince left the capital, the fifth prince stepped into the Wu Palace.

The king of Wu is not like those who have no intention of the king of Qi to win the throne. On the contrary, he is eyeing the throne in his heart. Unfortunately, the power in his army is not enough for him to force the palace to seize the throne, especially the existence of Prince Qian, which does not allow him to master too many troops at all. Zhong Qiang, a stubborn man, is even more face-fable, so that he can only take this The desire is deep. Under the persuasion of the fifth prince, the two quickly reached an agreement to jointly seize the crown prince. As long as the king of Wu is crowned, the fifth prince is similar to the existence of Prince Qian, and the two share the country.

The fifth prince is scheming. He is not only comparable to the king of Wu who knows how to rush into battle. Now he is forced to join hands with the king of Wu. When his confidant King of Qi and the seventh prince are cleared, the simple-minded King of Wu is not his opponent at all.

Unfortunately, the king of Wu did not know what the fifth prince was thinking. He secretly sent a team of thousands of people, disguised as a green forest thief, and prepared to attack the seventh prince on the way.

The seventh prince knew nothing about this. Before leaving, he just went to visit the sixth prince on the sickbed and hurried on his way. The king of Qi did not go out of the city to see him off because he wanted to go early in the morning, and Cheng Yuanjia did not appear.

That night, he had walked to the post station more than 200 miles away from Beijing and stayed in the best room in the post station under the arrangement of Yicheng. Originally, he was a little concerned that Cheng Yuanjia didn't come to see him off, but when he saw his huge team, he was relieved. Cheng Yuanjia was happy and quiet. He had to clean up the meal. When he saw Zhou Huan off, he set up roadblocks at both ends. Of course, he would not come out to see him with so many people.

The post hall is not big, and the room is far from enough for the people he brought. Fortunately, most of these people are well-trained soldiers. Except for the bodyguards given to him by the King of Qi and the emperor, all the others have set up marching tents near the post hall to surround and protect the post hall. With so many people to protect him, and near the capital, he is not worried that someone will be against him.

After dinner, the seventh prince was about to go to rest when a dusty teenager came in from outside the door. Because of the check-in of the seventh prince, it has been cleared. If it hadn't been for the people involved, the army outside would never let him in.

The teenager did not kneel down when he saw the seventh prince. He just took out a letter from his arms and said, "I am a servant of Prince Qian's family. I am ordered by Qinrou Junjun to send a letter to the seventh prince."

The seventh prince looked happy and hurriedly said, "Briskly bring it."

After the comer handed the letter to the seventh prince, he retreated and did not mean to reply to the letter.

The handwriting on the envelope is very familiar. It is Cheng Yuanjia's handwriting, and the stamp on the wax is also her private seal. When I opened the envelope, I saw only twelve words written on the thin letter paper: three days later, in the eastern suburbs of Yuanzhou City, Lvyang Villa.

An inexplicable time and address made the seventh prince not understand what medicine was sold in Cheng Yuanjia Gourd, but since it was the request of the beautiful woman, he still decided to go and have a look. Calculate the distance. If you arrive in Yuanzhou in three days, you can't go too quickly these two days.

The seventh prince left the city early in the morning. He didn't know that there was a major news circulating in the capital that day.

The two largest Fengyue places in the capital, Hongxiu Building and Tianxiang Pavilion, were bought by the same mysterious customer, and the two backyards standing side by side were opened up. It is said that a high-level place will be built. For a while, there was a lot of speculation about this mysterious figure in the capital. You should know that Hongxiu Building is the property of the Cheng family, which was actually bought by someone. How big is the buyer?

At this time in the Cheng family, Cheng Yuhang looked at his daughter sitting opposite with a wry smile and said, "I know you have always been very big, but what are you doing in a brothel, and buy the Tianxiang Pavilion, which is covered by the Xiang family, is forced to buy and sell. What on earth are you going to do?"

Cheng Yuanjia said indifferently, "Dad, don't ask me about anything. I won't do anything that is not good, let alone anything bad for the Cheng family. Besides, I bought these two brothel, but I didn't use a penny from the Cheng family. It's all my own money.

Cheng Yuhang looked frustrated and said, "Forget it, I don't care about your business. As long as you feel happy, even if you buy all the brothel buildings in the capital, it's up to you. If you don't have enough money, just take care about it. Although your father is not as rich as you, he always has some private property."

Cheng Yuanjia smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Dad. Yuanjia still knows the importance." With that, he asked the maid beside him to hand the tray in her hand to his father and said, "Dad, these are several potions I have recently prepared for you. The weather is getting colder. You should pay attention to your health."

"It's still my good daughter who knows that she loves her father." Cheng Yuhang said happily, "No wonder the empress dowager likes you so much. With you by her side, her heart is always warm."
