Rejected

Rejected

Standing outside the small garden, looking at Chu Xinyuan who had been practicing the sword for an hour and even his clothes were soaked through, Yue Xi hesitated for the fourth time.

This atmosphere is really weird.

Finally, Chu Xinyuan put away the sword, and Yue Xi hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the white handkerchief.

Chu Xinyuan ignored him, returned the sword to its sheath, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's the end of time!"

"Tell Butler Liang to prepare a gift. I am going to visit Prime Minister Ming!"

Yue Xi said: "Yes!"

Something has been wrong with the master since yesterday. Yue Xi knows why, because the master has left Beijing.

But the master neither stopped nor saw him off. The only difference was probably that the entire Prince Liang's palace suddenly became gloomy and cold, and the master's eyes also became a little scary.

Yue Xi hurriedly went to find Liang Zhongnian.

Hearing that he was going to visit the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Zhongnian did not dare to neglect him at all. After preparing the gifts, he immediately came back to visit him.

After Chu Xinyuan took a shower and changed clothes, he took Yue Xi to the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor did not allow princes to make friends with ministers. Chu Xinyuan was so blatant that it attracted people's attention, so he was still driving on the road while the emperor had already received the news.

The emperor said to Chu Chaoyang: "What do you think of your imperial brother?"

Chu Chaoyang said: "I always thought that Brother Five Emperors had no ambitions, but now it seems that I am still too naive."

The emperor smiled, his eyes were kind, his tone was encouraging, and he said: "Well, so, what do you want to do?"

"The Gyeonggi Guard is now in his hands, and I want to wait and see what happens. If he really becomes ambitious, I will not be soft-hearted!"

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "I have already asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the canonization. Qin Tianjian has calculated that the ninth day of the first month will be an auspicious day. You should be prepared. By then, you will be justified in dealing with anyone!

"

"Thank you, Father!"

The emperor looked with satisfaction at Chu Chaoyang's energetic and energetic appearance.

During this period, he felt more and more that his health was not in good condition. Otherwise, as an emperor, how could he be so straightforward with Chu Chaoyang?

However, the emperor does not feel any regrets now. After all, the heir he wanted has grown up as he expected. Although the elimination of the influence of the eldest prince, the fourth prince and his descendants and relatives has caused some people in the court to be cut off.

, but it will not affect the normal government affairs of the court.

What's more, the first battle report came from Chu Jingxian.

It's a good news.

When Chu Jingxian arrived at Guyucheng, the defender, General Shang, had been holding on for more than half a month, and he was about to be unable to hold on. Chu Jingxian and his men descended from the sky like flying generals. With reinforcements, the morale of the Guyucheng defenders was greatly boosted.

, repelling another wave of siege by the Southern Qi army.

Compared with the defeat of several cities in a row, this time's repulse is exciting enough. This is a rare surprise and hope for General Gu Yu who was suffocated by the defense and was prepared to live and die with the city.

What followed was a stalemate-like battle.

Battle reports from the front line are sent back every day, and the situation in Guyucheng is under control. After several consecutive defeats, the Southern Qi army has already declined. There is no need to worry that the city occupied by Southern Qi cannot be recovered. It is only a matter of time.

Chu Chaoyang said: "Father, the seventh emperor brother is quite talented in fighting. I think we can send a supervisor to work the army! I think Qin Fu, the chief of the Ministry of War, can be the supervisor."

The emperor said: "You can decide on such a small matter!"

The emperor knew that Qin Fu was a newly discovered person by Chu Chaoyang, and he was quite capable. Chu Chaoyang wanted to cultivate his power in the East Palace, and Chu Jingxian, the emperor's brother who knew how to fight and had military power, wanted to win over him.

Placing one of your own by your side will make the emperor see clearly and be happy to see the results.

"Thank you, father!" Chu Chaoyang said: "I will go and make arrangements there!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ming Chongjun did not see Chu Xinyuan.

Being turned away, Chu Xinyuan didn't seem to be surprised.

The gift he asked Liang Zhongnian to prepare was brought back intact.

Yue Xi said: "Master, you are making such a big show of it, which means that the Prime Minister has not seen you. If he really saw you, you still can't explain it clearly!"

There was no expression on Chu Xinyuan's face.

Ever since Chu Yuncheng was demoted and Chu Chengye asked himself to be a vassal, the atmosphere in the capital has been very strange. Of course, not everyone can feel this strangeness.

"So what if you can explain it clearly? So what if you can't explain it clearly?" Chu Xinyuan said: "The storm is coming, but some people are unaware of it. They just think that the current situation is under control. Do you think it is ridiculous or not?

?”

Yue Xi scratched his head, feeling that his master's words were becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Back at Prince Liang's Mansion, Xing Nan sent the latest battle report from the Eastern Territory.

Looking at the contents of the battle report, Chu Xinyuan's expression did not relax at all.

As soon as this battle gained some momentum, the imperial court immediately sent out supervisory troops. This desire to control and monitor was not concealed at all.

The situation in Southern Qi was similar to what Chu Xinyuan, Chu Jingxian, and Mu Qingyu had speculated when they reviewed the situation. They had known early on that it was impossible to fight from Guyu City to Dongxia Capital City, and they had not even done anything in this regard.

Strategic layout.

After losing this battle, Southern Qi indeed moved diagonally towards the western front.

However, although all this has been predicted in previous rehearsals, it is not easy to stop the Southern Qi army in Dongxia.

Chu Xinyuan deduced on the map for a long time, and finally sighed slowly.

He wrote several letters and handed them to Yue Xi: "Send them as soon as possible!"

He called Cao Bei again and deployed his men one by one.

He held the Gyeonggi Guard in his hands. At this time, the personnel were being mobilized. Cao Bei was worried and said: "Master, do you really want to do this? Although the Gyeonggi Guard is responsible for the stability of the capital, it cannot be mobilized at will. In case someone with ulterior motives takes over your copy,

, saying that you harbor evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Chu Xinyuan said calmly: "The stability of the capital is the top priority. Even if I am accused of harboring evil intentions, I can only do this!"

Cao Bei had no choice but to follow the order.

When Qin Fu left Beijing, Chu Chaoyang met him first.

In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Qin Fu, the young supervisor, showed his loyalty and set off with great satisfaction.

Chu Chaoyang and the officials stayed in the study for a long time.

Although the crown prince's position has not been registered, his East Palace team has been established, and these Mu Liao will be the East Palace team in the future.

After the state affairs were discussed, Chu Chaoyang ended the conversation in a good mood. The ministers all performed their duties, and he was ready to go out and relax.

After all, he is not so eye-catching now. Once he is canonized, he will have to pay more attention to his words and deeds.

Chu Chaoyang changed into regular clothes, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, showing nobility.

In terms of demeanor and behavior, he has become more and more like a prince.

Chu Chaoyang quietly left the Ninth Prince's Mansion with only one personal entourage.

When he lived in the palace, he was not familiar with everything in the capital. Although he had moved out now, he was still not familiar with it, so he just happened to pay a private visit incognito.
