true

Because of 'underestimating the enemy'.

In short, Brother Su is very powerful.

The people in his house are also much more friendly, Aunt Ji will steal a lot of delicious food for him, it is very bad that Mr. Li Gang will grab the pigeons from him.

But Fei Liu still remembered that what brother Lin Chen wanted him to protect was a buffalo, so he still wanted to go.

Fei Liu sneaked into the imperial city three times in total, the first two times he was caught by Meng Zhi and sent back, and the third time he climbed over the wall to the courtyard of the East Palace in the dark and was caught by Lin Shu.

Lin Shu dragged Fei Liu to sit on the roof of the East Palace, talking with him.

"Did Lin Chen ask you to protect Jingyan?"

"kindness!"

Lin Shu asked again, "Is your martial arts very high?"

Fei Liu nodded again and again, mmm mmm!

"But you were still caught by me." Lin Shu squeezed Feiliu's flattened mouth, "So you see, as long as the people who come here are not as good as you, they will all be caught by me."

"I am now the deputy commander of the imperial army, responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city, including the East Palace. Your buffalo brother is now under my protection...With me here, nothing will happen to him again."

[Langya Bang] The First True [38] (Shu Yan)

"I heard that it was common sense not to celebrate Concubine Jing's birthday yesterday, but Concubine Concubine Jing said she wanted to take care of Concubine Chen and no one was there. The Crown Prince knelt at the door for half an hour before leaving."

"Everyone thinks that this is a good time for Brother Qi to return to the capital. Who knew that His Majesty would not allow it, and my aunt fell ill at that time." Lin Shu pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and fought close to Meng Zhi. Woke up, using the machete method of the Miao family in the southern border, "Perhaps she complained that all the officials knelt in the hall and asked the emperor to recall King Qi, but Jingyan didn't plead for brother Qi's brother."

Although Meng Zhi's martial arts are high, he practiced all the way, not as rich in miscellaneous knowledge as Lin Shu.

Meng Zhi didn't quite agree with him when he said that during the few years he had made friends in the world and learned some moves from them.

It should be known that when learning martial arts, the more complex one learns, the contradictions in various martial arts will shackle each other, affecting the performance in battle.

But now that they are fighting with real swords and guns, Meng Zhi discovered that Lin Shu has used all the moves he has learned in the rivers and lakes over the years into his own. Fingering, using the blade as a finger hook, can be turned freely, making every move have countless changes, plus his body is as light as the wind, it is like a tiger with wings added.

Right now, I still have some spare time because Lin Shu lacks some time to practice, some moves are obviously learned casually, and the foundation is not solid, but Meng Zhi is sure that when it comes to the real battle, few people can cope with the variables like Lin Shu .

It was only after Meng Zhi barely blocked his lightning-fast flying kick that he thought about what he said just now, "His Royal Highness Jing Wang has his reasons for doing this."

"Brother Meng said carefully, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Meng Zhi thought in his heart that you should be the most cautious in your words, and you always call the prince's name.

Lin Shu took a step diagonally, stepped on the trunk of the tree to borrow strength, and used an upside-down golden hook to hook the branch to avoid Meng Zhi's knife, and then flipped his hand, "Be careful of the hidden weapon!" The hidden weapon was fast and aimed straight at the face In the past, Meng Zhi hastily withdrew his attack and turned sideways to pinch it in his hands. Seeing that it was a red fruit, he couldn't help being happy, and he threw it in his mouth, and was so sour that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"……Well……"

"It's said to be a hidden weapon, and you still put it in your mouth. This habit is not good." Lin Shu saw Meng Zhi's face was so sour that his face was wrinkled together, and he rolled over to the ground with a smile, and put the dagger back into his sleeve. Yellow and red are the most sour."

"Is that Mei Changsu coming to Jinling often recently?"

"... Occasionally." Meng Zhi coughed twice, "Why did you think of asking him?"

"I haven't seen him until now... It's not easy to avoid the forbidden army and enter the East Palace to meet Jingyan, unless his martial arts are so powerful that so many people can't notice." Lin Shu paused and said, "But I Make sure that there is indeed such a counselor by Jingyan’s side, otherwise it would be hard to explain many things. The case of King Xian is the same. I believe that the matter was done by King Xian himself, but the timing of the rumors is indeed a coincidence. Also , the deployment of the Jiu’an Mountain Hunting Palace. You can show me the defense map of that day. Jingyan and I have different ways of deploying troops. The deployment of the hunting palace on the mountain is not Jingyan’s usual style, but some The deceitful soldier, the person who set up the formation, and I have the same thought, but even more ingenious...it is Mei Changsu."

"Over the years, no matter what happened, Jingyan never asked me for help. He should be the one who hates power and tricks the most...but he trusts Mr. Su so much." Lin Shu's expression turned cold when he said this, "...this man , there should really be something special about him.”

"It's just that he's been too insulting to King Xian recently. In the current situation, as long as Jingyan is around, the crown prince will not be second-guessed. Excessive attack on King Xian will only cause dissatisfaction with Jingyan in the court. If you see that Mr. Su, remind him for me to pay attention to the proper way of doing things in the future."

"oh oh……"

"Deputy Commander." Zhen Ping walked over quickly, "Just now a sedan chair entered the palace gate, and it was carried all the way to the Yangju Hall. If we follow in person, we can’t ask more questions.”

Lin Shu and Meng Zhi looked at each other, the latter was a little dazed, but still instinctively felt that something was wrong. "Do you want to send more guards?"

Lin Shu shook his head, "No matter who the visitor is, the emperor clearly doesn't want the imperial army to intervene, and you and I have to act like we don't know anything and don't care... Zhen Ping, go back to the mansion and tell Li Gang to bring Feiliu with you. Go to the East Palace."

----

Along with the medicine bowl, there are two lists on Emperor Liang's desk.

One is the list of those who attended the banquet at the funeral banquet handed over by the crown prince, and the other is the list that Xia Chun quietly investigated yesterday. The person who chased after Qinghe County Lord's Mansion was also written in it, and did not cover it up.

At the beginning, Emperor Liang wanted to see the prince joke.

No matter who he is, when he suddenly takes over the management of such a large country, he will not care about the beginning and the end. The most common mistake for people who are in power for the first time is that they only see the details, but they often fail to see the most important parts of the problem. Take care of one thing and lose another.

Just like a toddler, his father did not support him, but instead let him ride on a tall horse and lead an army forward.

But Jingyan walks very steadily, he can even accurately avoid or remove the stones that his father intentionally or unintentionally left on the road ahead.

Emperor Liang could see that it was not a fluke, but the emperor's tricks.

He was apprehensive, but also relieved.

He used to think that among the many children, Jing Huan was the one who resembled him the most.

And the prince's current elimination of dissidents is exactly what he did after he became the throne.

Including Jingxuan's case, although he was so angry that the crown prince showed no mercy to his brother and threw a glass at him, Xiao Xuan knew that if he changed places, he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

So he watched all this happen almost indifferently, he was powerless to stop it, and he didn't want to stop it.

There is even some schadenfreude in it.

Lin Xie, Yan Que, no one can give you the world you want to see, I can't, and it's the same with Jingyan.

The person who sits on that dragon chair will change.

When I dreamed back at midnight, I looked at the person reflected in the bronze mirror and didn't even recognize myself.

Fortunately, Jingyan still has the last trace of benevolence towards his brothers and sisters. King Ning still stays in Jinling. After Jing Xuan was demoted to the fiefdom, Jingyan never did anything to him again, and King Qi's family is also in the fiefdom. live.

Emperor Liang looked at the busy Seventh Son coldly, but there was always a hint of doubt in his heart.

It is true that Jingyan wants the position of prince, but he does not like this position.

What he is doing now seems to be something that has to be done.

Everything he did after taking charge of the country seemed to be out of order, but in fact it was not decided according to his personal likes and dislikes. Among them, he must be in touch...

King Qi...

Emperor Liang thought about what Xia Jiang secretly entered the palace yesterday and reported to himself.

He said that King Qi had found King Jing's personal guards near the fief's mansion, and he also attached a list.

On the list are officials who have been suppressed and demoted over the years and who support King Qi. Most of them have held important positions in the local area, and some even have military power. Most of these people's promotions and transfers are directly or indirectly related to Jingyan.

These two things are not big, if it was put a few years ago, maybe he would still be tempted to investigate, but now he is just a lingering sick emperor, when Xia Jiang said that King Qi and the crown prince would unite to force the palace to rebel, he laughed it off .

First, Xia Jiang cares about life, and second, he cares about power. He did not hesitate to risk his death to enter the palace as a fugitive. It is simply because Jingyan arrested Xia Chun and Xia Qiu the day before yesterday to go to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

But he left Xia Jiang in the side hall and did not detain him.

He looked at the medicinal materials left by Concubine Jing on the table, which seemed to be scattered on the table now, but after all, they would be combined into a medicinal meal according to her wishes.

Emperor Liang's eyes gradually widened.

He got it.

Jingyan is preparing for his ascension to the throne.

But not his own.

Qi Wang Xiao Jingyu's preparations before ascending the throne.

It's a pity that I understood it too late.

"...Hahaha, hahahaha————————————————————!" Emperor Liang turned over, lay on his back on the bed and laughed.

"Your Majesty!" Gao Zhan hurried in.

"Hurry up, call Lin Shu...no, call Meng Zhi over here! Don't disturb others!"

"Your Majesty..." Gao Zhan hesitated and said, "Commander Meng is not in the palace now."

"Not in the palace? Today
