Yan Lan was led into the army, and he was extremely shocked along the way. Originally, I only heard that Qi Yue's command was extremely strict, and his army was also different from the general ones. Now that I have seen it, I realize that these rumors are not true.
Even in such a difficult environment at the border, where eating and drinking are extremely rough, these soldiers standing or practicing have a distinctive spirit. This kind of killing spirit honed in the process of life and death shocked Yan Lan into a daze.
Dayan's Imperial Forest Army was not half as good as Zhenbei Army. This was Emperor Hongming's compliment to Qi Yue, and Yan Lan finally felt it.
Although he is very wise, he is not as straightforward as he appears on the surface. Although he has already attached great importance to Qi Yue, who is trusted by the emperor, in his heart, there is a hidden arrogance in his heart. Now along the way, the arrogance in Yan Lan's heart has subsided To a great shock.
Every soldier in the Zhenbei Army did not show any flattery to his prince's status, but looked at the central military tent with a faint fanaticism in his eyes.
Moreover, from time to time in the army, the surrounding people sent food and livestock to express condolences. As soon as Yan Lan saw this scene, she knew how influential General Zhenbei was in the barracks and even the entire border.
Yan Lan, who is cautious by nature, did not feel the joy of finding a powerful helper, but rather hesitated. Emperor Hongming trusted Qi Yue, but Yan Lan did not. What he began to think about in his mind was Qi Yue's influence on him now and in the future.
Because Qi Yue's status is extremely special, there is no problem in insisting that he is the adopted son of Emperor Hongming.
It is not difficult to see the depth of the third prince Yan Lan's mind. He can defeat the eldest prince Yan Sa in the prince's struggle, discredit his image in Emperor Hongming's heart, and at the same time pretend to be a well-behaved son who can make the emperor feel at ease. This is enough It shows that his mind is not low. In terms of strategy, I'm afraid Yan Sa is no match for him.
In fact, Qing Yun had predicted Yan Lan's reaction long ago, he did not intercept Yan Lan on the way back to Beijing like Yan Sa did. But after Yan Lan got the imperial decree sent from Emperor Hongming, after a little thought, he knew that Emperor Hongming would think of sending the imperial decree. The situation in the palace must be very serious. Maybe Yan Sa has already laid a net to wait for him to return to Beijing.
So he didn't wait for Qi Yue to come to help him, and directly rode his horse towards the northern border, wanting to use Qi Yue's hands to protect himself.
When she saw Qi Yue standing and waiting in front of the military tent from a distance, Yan Lan had already put away all the thoughts in her heart, and put on her usual hearty smile, and said loudly: "Please, General Qi, come out of the tent to welcome him!"
Although he was smiling all over his face, there was a flash of shock in his eyes. The deterrent power of this man is too strong, and Qi Yue gives Yan Lan a different feeling from other generals. The calmness and wisdom in his eyes are definitely not what a reckless man can show.
Qi Yue's gaze faintly glanced at the imperial decree in Yan Lan's hand, and he immediately had a plan in his mind. He cupped his fists and knelt down towards the third prince: "See the third prince, because of the busy affairs in the army, I couldn't go out to greet you, please forgive me!"
"See the third prince, please forgive me!"
As Qi Yue knelt down, all the soldiers in the entire barracks knelt together in unison. It seems that Qi Yue is the benchmark in their hearts, and Qi Yue himself is their military order.
Thousands of people knelt down at the same time, pleading guilty at the same time, but a monstrous aura rose up, and Yan Lan could hardly control the curvature of the corners of her mouth.
Is it possible that this Qi Yue is trying to give him a blow
In fact, Yan Lan was thinking too much. The Zhenbei Army knelt down with Qi Yue. If Emperor Hongming saw this scene, he would praise "Okay!" on the spot, but Yan Lan had already planted the seeds of doubt in her heart. Every move has a deep meaning in his eyes.
If Qi Yue didn't kneel, Yan Lan might think that he was guilty of the crime.
"General Qi, please hurry up. I believe the general already knows why I came here. You and I should go to the tent and discuss it." Yan Lan pretended to be panic and quickly helped Qi Yue up, and the two entered the army together. account.
Looking at Yan Lan's expression, Qi Yue knew what the third prince was thinking. But Qi Yue didn't care, people in the royal family always thought more than others, not to mention it was still in a period when Emperor Hongming was under house arrest and the court was in turmoil.
Qi Yue didn't have any idea about the battle for the prince's succession. He is the general of Zhenbei, and he will take root in the border without accident in the future. He has no contact with any of the princes, and he hasn't even had a face-to-face meeting, so whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with him.
But he has always repaid the kindness of dripping water with springs, and Emperor Hongming helped him a lot when he was young, so Qi Yue listened to Emperor Hongming's orders at this time, and he would support whoever Emperor Hongming wanted to be the crown prince.
Besides, he already knew from the news sent by Emperor Hongming that the eldest prince Yan Sa actually put Emperor Hongming under house arrest and controlled the Imperial Forest Army. Thinking of this, Qi Yue couldn't help frowning.
This time, I'm afraid he needs to go back to Beijing in person.
"General Qi, you don't know that my elder brother..." Yan Lan sat at the table and confided to Qi Yue, and he sighed at this point, "I never thought that elder brother would do such an unfilial thing. "
"Third prince, don't worry. Anyone who rebels against a certain person will be punished by everyone. The subordinates will dispatch three teams to quickly send you back to the capital." Qi Yue didn't bother to listen to the third prince's rambling. He acted swiftly and immediately sent a military adviser The general order will be issued and follow-up matters will be arranged.
"There are only three teams?" Yan Lan frowned faintly, "My elder brother controls the entire Royal Forest Army, as well as the City Guard Army..."
Hearing Yan Lan's words, Qi Yue didn't explain too much, but said: "Three teams are enough. Besides, we have to hurry, and it's not easy to startle the snake and attract the attention of the First Prince."
Qi Yue has already started to organize the team, and will bring Yan Lan back to Beijing soon.
Even when the emperor was captured and he was going to escort him, the man remained calm, as if all the matters were just working step by step and could not disturb his state of mind at all.
Qingyun is also quite busy in the palace these few days. Although he did not intercept Yan Lan, he is absolutely not prepared to let him return to Beijing smoothly.
After reviewing today's memorial, Qing Yun leaned back in his chair and rubbed the space between his brows. Seeing this, the maid behind him wanted to rub his shoulders for him, but he waved her away.
After counting the days when he came here, Qing Yun half-closed his eyes and said to Chen Bing who was waiting at the side: "Release the news that the emperor is imprisoned and the third prince has an imperial decree to the second prince."
Chen Bing immediately responded and started to do it.
Following Qing Yun's side for the past few days, he was shocked one after another, and his doubts about the eldest prince's decision at the beginning had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Bing started to arrange people to release the news to the second prince without anyone noticing it, and let him think that it was his subordinates who bothered to find out.
But Chen Bing was a little puzzled, why did he release the news of the emperor's imprisonment to the second prince who was far away in the fiefdom? Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? This kind of confusion has often lingered in Chen Bing's mind recently, but he no longer felt that the eldest prince's decision-making was wrong, but instead thought that his own mind was insufficient.
After Chen Bing left the Eldest Prince's bedroom, he thought and thought, and finally got things done. Then he hit his head and thought of the Eldest Prince's intentions, and immediately praised him.
If the second prince knew that the emperor was imprisoned, he would definitely come to earn the merit of being a king. After all, even though he left the palace to build a mansion, it cannot be said that he was completely out of luck for the throne. If he made a meritorious service this time, he would be able to change his impression in the emperor's heart and defeat the eldest prince and the third prince in one fell swoop. But he also knew that the third prince had already obtained the imperial decree to establish the crown prince
The second prince who wants to sit on the throne will never let the third prince return to the court before him, and will definitely stop the third prince in every possible way. In this way, there is no need for the eldest prince to do anything, and the third prince and the second prince can fight for blood.
And taking advantage of this period of time, with the ability of the eldest prince, the entire capital must have been cleaned up like an iron bucket.
Chen Bing, who had finally figured it out, happily went back to his life, feeling deeply that he had improved by more than one level after following the eldest prince.
After arranging Chen Bing's errands, Qing Yun went to supervise the training of the Imperial Forest Army. He knew that Yan Lan was assisted by General Qi Yue of the Zhenbei Army. In the original direction of this world, the entire imperial forest army was like a paper tiger under the attack of the Zhenbei Army.
Qing Yun didn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time, the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the imperial city had been at ease for too long, even the training was just a step-by-step way to pass the time.
But Qing Yun wanted to break up their inertia severely.
Sitting in a wheelchair, he toured the entire training ground, seeing the eyes of the Imperial Forest Army gradually becoming resolute, Qing Yun then slowly nodded his head.
Behind him, Fang Rui, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, stood respectfully, his eyes filled with admiration. The reason why he was subdued by the first prince back then was only because the first prince Yan Sa grasped his weakness and forced him to submit.
In fact, because of the events in the early years, Fang Rui has always had a grudge in his heart, and he is not so convinced, and because of the eldest prince's body, Fang Rui actually does not think that he is a good candidate to become the emperor.
At first, when the First Prince wanted to participate in the training of the Imperial Forest Army, he was still dissatisfied, not to mention all his Imperial Forest Army, they all sneered at the prince who grew up on the sick bed.
train? I'm afraid it's just talking on paper!
But following the First Prince's set of rules and regulations, Fang Rui was surprised to find that almost every day the Imperial Forest Army would take on a new look. Fang Rui knew that the Imperial Forest Army was often called a cat raised in the imperial city by the border guards. They could only shine their claws, but they changed day by day. Although they still lacked the bloody smell, their aura gradually became sharper. .
These alone are not enough to make Fang Rui feel admiration for the First Prince himself. The reason why the entire Yulin army is looking at Qingyun with such eyes is of course because of him.
They really saw what kind of power is contained in the eldest prince's seemingly weak body, and the strong are worth following.
Qing Yun lowered his eyes. In fact, his body has not been completely repaired, and he still feels tired after walking for a long time, so Qing Yun simply sat in a wheelchair.
A few days ago, he managed to subdue these Imperial Forest Army completely, but it took him a lot of effort.
Qing Yun was thinking about it, but saw Chen Bing coming in a hurry, and ran to him and whispered something in his ear.
Hearing what Chen Bing said clearly, Qing Yun couldn't help laughing out loud. He shook his head and said, "It's just that everyone regards me as a scourge. He guards me like this. If I don't go, I'll be sorry for him. Palace, go and see."
In Jingyang Palace, Emperor Hongming, who had no idea that the First Prince had left the palace, smashed another teacup.
Eunuch Su was busy persuading him to calm down, while secretly thinking in his heart that His Majesty has become more and more energetic after taking the medicine in recent days, and he has become more and more angry when scolding the eldest prince.
"This scoundrel! How could he let Yang Hui go? And promote Wei Lin?" Emperor Hongming was so angry that he walked around the room, "Call me that scoundrel!"
Although Emperor Hongming said this, he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Yan Sa to come over. Because he has been yelling and yelling for several days, but the boss has never come to see him. Instead, a bowl of concoction is delivered every day.
These days, Emperor Hongming was also a little uncertain about what his eldest son was up to. If he really wanted to enthron and rebel, why didn't he just let his old bone die of illness and send him medicine every day
If it was for his own good, why was he imprisoned again
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongming became angry. The evil son said before that he would hand over the government affairs to him for review, but it was only for him to review, but he was not allowed to interfere at all.
Although he was angry, Emperor Hongming, who knew the government affairs of the court and China every day, also felt some other feelings in his heart.
At the beginning, when Chen Bing sent over the government affairs that the eldest prince had handled, Emperor Hongming couldn't wait to understand the government affairs, and at the same time, he wanted to find faults with the eldest prince.
But after looking at it day by day, I found that Yan Sa was extremely proficient in political affairs, not only extremely organized, but also hit the nail on the head, as long as it was something he set out to do, it would definitely have excellent results.
There were even some things that Emperor Hongming felt at first glance that Yan Sa's handling was inappropriate, but after a little thought, he felt that this son was more thoughtful than him, and what followed was admiration from the bottom of his heart, after all, he could have such a vision , this kind of strategy can be regarded as a rare talent in a hundred years!
This kind of admiration from Emperor Hongming was very common when Yan Sa was a child. But I don't know when, it seems that it was the year when the queen died, he gradually lost his appreciation for this son, and for some reason he always wanted to find fault with him.
After all, Emperor Hongming made a good plan in his early years, even if the Eldest Prince was weak, he would make him the crown prince.
Thinking of his dead wife and the past, Emperor Hongming was full of emotion, full of unpleasant feelings. If it weren't for this situation of being imprisoned and usurped the throne, he would be very happy to see his proud son show such talent again.
But now... Emperor Hongming didn't know what he should think. He didn't realize that what he thinks about every day is not when the third prince will return to the capital, whether Qi Yue has reconciled with the third prince, but the eldest prince who is unpredictable.
The medicine was delivered again, Emperor Hongming slapped the table and scolded: "Call me that bastard! If he doesn't come, I won't drink it!"
Didn't know that Emperor Hongming in Jingyang Palace was looking for trouble again, and even if he knew, Qing Yun, who didn't plan to bother, was leading the official road outside the capital at the moment.
Sitting in the carriage, he only opened the curtain, and looked at the two people on the official road from afar with a half-smile.
These two people were Wei Lin, who Qing Yun had just appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the only wife he cared about.
