The second prince of Xiyi was born in the Yuan Dynasty, and he was deeply favored by the emperor. In addition, he defeated the Han army when he first entered the battlefield. . As long as he returns alive, the throne must be his.
Therefore, the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and others were in a hurry, they raised troops one after another to force the palace, and then fought together again. It was too late when the news of Yu Pinyan's capture of the second prince came, the princes had already forged a bloody feud that could not be reversed, and the tribes of Xiyi were also torn apart.
As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Yu Pinyan sent troops westward at the right time, directly leveled the imperial court of Xiyi, and took down the heads of the empress and the third and fourth princes. The eldest prince led the remnants of the army and fled to the more desolate desert on the border. If he wanted to restore the former glory, he might have to recuperate for decades.
Yu Pinyan tidied up the battlefield and rewarded the soldiers before writing a letter to Emperor Chengkang to report his victory. Emperor Chengkang received a secret report from the Anbu of Longlin Guard. Longxin was overjoyed and ordered him to leave for Beijing immediately, but he did not announce the good news to the outside world. He only sent someone to inform the imprisoned prince.
Today's Great Han Dynasty Hall is also in chaos. Officials of the Prince's family are impeached and attacked by various parties every day, and life is very difficult. The fifth and sixth princes, who had always been mediocre, suddenly became active. A large number of officials surrounded them to speak up for the establishment of a new crown prince. While trying to please the father and attacking each other, many scandals broke out in a short time.
Emperor Chengkang watched coldly, and shook his head at the performance of the two princes. A person who can lurk in the dark and slowly infiltrate the Dragon Scale Guard and knock down the prince and Yu Pinyan in one fell swoop should not have such an impetuous mind. There must not be two people behind this scene, but the fourth prince, who remained silent from the beginning to the end. He neither wooed the officials nor tried to please himself. Instead, he tried his best to intercede for the prince and Yu Pinyan, and he never forgot to visit the prince every day. Officials who supported the prince fell to him one after another. Because only the fourth prince who is close to the prince ascends the throne, can they survive.
His performance is perfect, but the more perfect the more suspicious. To be able to win over nearly half of the officials in the DPRK and China without making a fuss, without arousing the fear of the fifth and sixth princes, the means are really tactful and sophisticated. Cheng Kangdi's guard against this son has been raised to the extreme. If it wasn't for the prince's insight into the opportunity earlier, if it wasn't for Yu Pinyan's great destiny to turn defeat into victory, he might fall into this well-designed trap. The throne is handed over to this good son who is "filial at the top and filial at the bottom".
Emperor Chengkang's methods were sophisticated, and his sharp eyes were not comparable to that of the young fourth prince. Without any evidence, he had already determined the real culprit based on intuition and guesswork, and sent an army to keep the fourth prince under close surveillance. He doesn't care about the disputes in the court, he just wants to coldly distinguish who is loyal and who is traitor among the courtiers, and when Yu Pinyan's class teacher returns to the court, he will reuse what should be reused, clean up what should be cleaned up, and hand over a clean court that is as clean as water to the crown prince. Responsibilities are also completed.
After receiving the secret order, Yu Pinyan immediately summoned all the generals to discuss returning to Beijing. Xu Mao resisted death and refused to recruit. Even if Yu Pinyan personally tortured him, he still gritted his teeth and did not utter a word. He even bit his tongue several times to commit suicide. Fortunately, someone found out in time and removed his mandible, which saved his life.
Yu Pinyan had no choice but to put him in a cage and bring him back to the capital for Emperor Chengkang to decide.
After confirming the time with all the generals to leave camp and return to the capital, he strolled towards the small courtyard in the afterglow of the setting sun. The smell of food wafted in the courtyard, Tao Hong and Liu Lu placed the dishes on the kang table, Yu Xiang came out of the kitchen with an apron around her waist, and a little black ash on the tip of her nose.
Seeing her brother, her eyes lit up, and she greeted her with a smile, "It's a coincidence that you came back. I just wanted Taohong to call you for dinner. At noon, Master Ku Hai and Master Ku Hui came to say goodbye to you, saying that they were going to Gu Yue Country to cultivate You are not here, so I have people prepare a lot of dry food and monk clothes, and send a column of soldiers to send them to the border."
Yu Pinyan skillfully wrapped her arms around her slender waist, wiped the tip of her nose with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "I'm being rude. After you return to Beijing, help me go to Zhenguo Temple to add some sesame oil."
"Well, I'll save it." Yu Xiang nodded, and took her elder brother to sit down at the kang table, wrapped thinly sliced roast duck slices, cucumbers, shredded green onions, peanut butter, etc. into the flatbread and rolled them into strips.
Yu Pinyan looked at the big cake that was being fed to his lips, with a slightly hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiang blinked ignorantly.
Yu Pinyan took a bite and said softly, "Xiang'er, we seem to have been eating big cakes for more than two months? Should we change to something else?"
"I have changed." Yu Xiang tapped the dishes with chopsticks, and said, "I ate beef rolls the day before yesterday, chicken rolls yesterday, and duck rolls today. The rolls are different every day. How else can I change it?"
"I mean, can it be replaced with rice and stir-fried vegetables?" Yu Pinyan pointed out.
Yu Xiang was silent, and sneaked a few glances at him before twisting the hem of his clothes and reluctantly said, "I want to change too, but I can only make pancakes, and I can't cook other dishes. I can't cook meat well, and I can't cook vegetables." It is always burnt, and the rice is sometimes boiled into porridge and sometimes into rice crusts. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
While talking, she felt aggrieved instead, and spread her tender little hands on the table. Yu Pinyan took a look at it, and sure enough, some places were scratched. His heart ached instantly, and he hugged her to his knees, kissed and coaxed her.
"My dear brother, don't do these things in the future, and let them serve you. You, a porcelain figure, should be hugged and pampered by my brother every day." Kissing her ten fingers while talking, The action is indescribably gentle.
"But I like to wash your hands and make soup for you. Isn't this the duty of a wife?" Yu Xiang didn't feel wronged, and arched into her brother's arms.
"As you like. I'll eat whatever you do, and I'll eat your baked pancakes for the rest of my life." Yu Pinyan smiled happily. He never knew that he could say such nasty love words, but facing his sister, making her happy seemed to be a duty, an instinct.
Yu Xiang glanced at him, sniffed and snorted, clearly very happy in her heart, and she wanted to hold it on her face. Yu Pinyan fell in love with her small appearance, and his big hand reached into the hem of her clothes to caress the soft flesh around her waist, until he kneaded her into a puddle of spring water and melted it into his arms.
The two kicked off the kang table, hugged each other and entangled each other. After it was over, Yu Xiang was already as limp as mud, and could only gasp for breath with his jade arm on his pillow. Yu Pinyan twisted the veil to help her take care of it, but her naughty little feet kicked on the semi-soft spot, and immediately felt it again.
"Little monster, do you still want me to clean you up?" He gritted his teeth and whispered.
"I'm going on the road tomorrow, the journey is inconvenient, I have to eat a little bit more." Yu Xiang licked her bright red lips, and flirted towards her elder brother with winking eyes. She has always been casual, living as happy as she can, and doesn't take feudal ethics seriously. She has just realized the joy of having sex with fish and water, so she will naturally not feel satisfied no matter how much she enjoys it.
What Yu Pinyan loves the most is her fiery enthusiasm, her frankness, and her low smile while suppressing her.
The two were still on their way back to Beijing, and there was new turmoil in the court. Because Xiangguo is the backbone supporting the prince, if the rest of the princes want to succeed, they will naturally have to remove this block in the way. Under the instruction of several princes, the memorial to impeach Xiangguo flew to Emperor Chengkang's desk like snowflakes.
One of them caught the attention of Emperor Chengkang, but it was to reverse the case for Yu Junwei who was exiled in Shu. Yu Junwei is Yu Pinyan's third uncle, the concubine son of the old lady. He used to be a minister of the Ministry of Officials, but was impeached by Xiangguo for selling his officials and nobles to accept bribes. After the crime was found out, the whole family fled.
The witnesses from back then have now retracted their confessions, saying that everything was fabricated by Yu Pinyan in order to seize the title, together with Xiangguo and the crown prince. Because the lives of his whole family were in Yu Pinyan's hands, he had no choice but to frame Zhongliang against his conscience. Now that Yu Pinyan was dead and the threat from his family was removed, he stood up and made atonement for the evil deeds of the past.
The spread of this incident caused an uproar in the court, and there were many people who impeached Xiangguo and Marquis Yongle. Even Marquis Yongle's biological mother, Mrs. Lin, also stood up to testify for Yu Junwei's family, detailing how Yu Pinyan fabricated crimes to frame his uncle. It's like having a nose and eyes.
The old lady was so angry that she vomited blood when she heard the news, and Yu Siyu wished she could burn down the Lin house, so she was almost caught by Mama Mama.
In the prince's mansion, Emperor Cheng Kang and the prince are playing chess. Emperor Chengkang gave birth to a son, and sighed, "It's true that Yi Feng's parents are not close enough to be framed by his biological mother. What does Mrs. Lin think?"
"I don't know, I'm probably crazy." The prince rubbed his temples very distressed.
Emperor Chengkang drank his tea with his head bowed, and said, "The fourth son has come more diligently."
The prince sneered, "Yes, there were a lot of words of encouragement and comfort, which moved my minister so much. My minister advised him many times to fight for that position, but he didn't comment."
Cheng Kangdi also laughed, ate a chess piece, and said in an erratic tone, "He is waiting for you to surrender. What's the matter if you bump your mouth up and down? You should give him something substantial. You Those connections and forces in your hands are not used now, but they will be abolished in the future. If the fifth and sixth ascend the throne, you will undoubtedly die."
"So now I can only rely on my fourth brother. Only when my fourth brother sits on the seat can I live. Father, don't you think so?" The prince said lightly.
Cheng Kangdi nodded, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The memorial to overturn Yu Junwei's case was quickly approved by Emperor Chengkang, who not only imprisoned Xiangguo that day, but also sent people to Shu to bring Yu Junwei's family back to Beijing. This matter soon became known to everyone, and everyone said that the third wife of the Yu family had finally come to an end. If things went well, Yu Junwei would not only be able to return to his post, but might also inherit the title of Marquis of Yongle.
The old lady was so angry that she fell ill on the bed, and her health continued to deteriorate.
