A hundred and fifty horses rode fast and frantically passed the business road with a layer of dust floating on the road, scaring the traveling merchants on the road hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road. Several young and energetic merchants looked at the horse team that was leaving like a whirlwind and cursed a few words in their mouths, while the old men around them hurriedly covered their mouths, fearing that someone would hear their scolding. Those who ran so quickly on the business road were either martial arts heroes or officials. These people were all unaffordable by ordinary people.

The horse team finally stopped after continuing to run for more than ten miles. Because a horse screamed, it pounced on the ground, rolling forward for more than thirty feet. The huge body on the horse's back also cursed anger and fell to the ground in a mess, rolling dozens of turns like straw handles, and hit a rock on the side of the road. With a "click", the man stood up as if nothing had happened, and the stone two feet square was smashed into more than a dozen by his head.

The thirty or so guests in the tea shed on the roadside were stunned. They stared blankly at the man covered in dust and holding a large man with a bowl of iron sticks weighing on his hands. Looking at his majestic figure two or three taller than an ordinary person, he seemed to see a tyrannosaurus and could not speak at all. Only two passers-by guests with swords on their bodies were then exclaimed in a low voice: "What a hero, his head is really hard. His external kung fu has reached the extreme realm of insemination of water and fire, right?"

The big man walked to the fallen horse, picked up the pitiful gray horse in one hand, and shouted: "Fengzi, this horse is not good anymore. I have crushed seventeen horses along the way, but I have no choice. Let me change another one."

Li Feng smiled bitterly on the horse's back. He shook his head and muttered to the old eunuch Yin beside him: "Fortunately we brought sixty more empty horses to relay, otherwise we would have to walk by ourselves before we could reach Yingtian Mansion. The kitten's body was too heavy, and he still had to carry that iron stick." The old eunuch Yin looked at the kitten holding the horse in one hand, then looked at the stone that was smashed by the kitten's head, squeezed out a smile, nodded repeatedly, and admired Li Feng's wisdom.

Li Feng shouted: "Go on a war horse and bid for ten taels of silver. Look, it's just running away, but there's no injury at all. Just give ten taels of silver, and this war horse is yours. Everyone, even if he can't run away in the future, buying a tall pack horse for ten taels of silver is also a cost-effective thing."

Hearing Li Feng's shouting, more than a dozen brave merchants immediately ran out of the tea shed, waiting for the kitten to throw the horse in front of them, and they carefully checked the horse's physical condition. After a while, a fast-handed merchant took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Li Feng, bowing to his companions and laughing: "Brothers, I'll take the lead this time. The horse is indeed the war horse from Yili, and it's just that it's exhausted, and there's no other problem."

Li Feng shook the silver in his palm, watched the kitten choose an empty war horse and ride it on it, nodded, and shouted, and the horse team rushed out again. He received a secret report sent by the Tenglong secret spies within two hours in nineteen different ways, and ordered them to rush to Yingtian Mansion immediately and act under Zhu Di's command.

Eunuch Yin, who were extremely sensitive to the movements of the court, had already discovered something wrong. They hurriedly urged Li Feng to lead the sixty subordinates with the strongest martial arts skills. As well as the twelve old eunuchs and kittens, each brought an extra war horse and rushed towards Yingtian Mansion day and night. Along the way, they all focused their internal strength into the horses, allowing the horses to realize their potential ten times, and they advanced towards the south in a hurry. In other words, the kitten was too heavy, and the newly built weapon was too heavy, and more than a dozen horses had been crushed along the way. Fortunately, there were too many war horses, so they did not delay any trip.

In the secret report handed to Li Feng and the others, the 30,000 cavalry of the Yan King of Yan in Datong Mansion had already set off and secretly headed to the border between the Yan King's Mansion and the Ning King's fiefdom. Although Li Feng still didn't understand what Zhu Di meant, since the army had begun to mobilize, and this was the only mobile force at hand in the Yan King's Mansion, it could prove that some things were imminent.

Just as Li Feng and his friends were whipping like they were burning their butts, urging the horse to go south, the Yingtian Mansion was already making a fuss.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mourning hall, the civil and military officials in the court were divided into two factions. A vote of ministers led by Minister of War Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others shouted loudly there: "The crown prince Yunmin is the orthodox successor of the late emperor, and the crown prince has a statement on his deathbed that the crown prince can take over the throne. Could anyone else be dissatisfied?"

Several ministers who were bribed by the King of Yan were vindicating: "When the late emperor was dying, we were also present. The late emperor just said that the crown prince could do it, but did not explain what he could do. The crown prince was young and lacked courage. How could it shock the world? Now the remnants of the Yuan and Meng Party are eyeing the north, and the barbarians of the Later Jin are constantly invading and harassing the northeast, and the remaining clans of the hundreds of barbarians are rioting in the south. How can they be at peace with the world with a young son?"

Fang Xiaoru sneered: "So, what do you think?" He looked at the passionate civil and military ministers flying coldly, and calculated in a dark corner in his heart: "You people, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the world's finances, how much money have you collected and spoke for the King of Yan? You, as the veteran of the Ministry of Personnel, are all controlled by you, and how many bribes have you taken? They are all a group of rebels who are not monarchs or ministers. When the crown prince ascends the throne, you will be as good as you."

Fang Xiaoru, who had a gloomy face, touched the forged edict inside his sleeve, and his heart suddenly became much calmer. He thought, "Make a fuss, let the grandson see what you ministers are all about. The last killer move is with me, where can you go?... But it's strange, why didn't the late emperor write the edict earlier? Could it be that he was hesitating in his heart? But what's the matter with him? The crown prince takes over the throne, which is the orthodox."

The ministers of the two factions fought here, and the palace maids and eunuchs fled far away in fear of disaster. Eunuch An, the chief supervisor of the palace, led a group of generals from the Imperial Guards, and led troops to surround Anling's palace, saying that it was for the safety of all the officials.

Gradually, the quarrel became more and more intense. The generals who could not control their emotions simply rolled up their sleeves, waved their fists, and gestured at Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and others. Fang Xiaoru was born as a literati, so he saw that these generals were about to be wise. He quickly took a few steps back and scolded him angrily: "It is not polite, not polite." Those who support Zhu Yunwen could only keep saying the way of a saint and the royal family was orthodox; those who support Zhu Di were loudly scolding these officials as "corrupt scholars". The so-called world was defeated by fists and swords, and governing the country also required a strong monarch.

Zhu Yunwen stood in a corner of the mourning hall with an extremely ugly expression, looking at the ministers who opposed him. He was ruthless in his heart: "You bastards, you all have to get out of this court when I ascend the throne... The emperor just got sick, and you were just advocating the benefits of the fourth uncle in front of him. Where do you place me and my father? Am I not the orthodox successor of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yunwen was very angry and extremely angry. He clenched his fists tightly and made a vow of revenge.

Suddenly, the whole mourning hall became quiet because a black-bearded general knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you left like this, leaving all the people in the world. When you left, why didn't you explain clearly?" The ministers who were arguing were silent and woke up, rolled on the ground and kept kowtowing, and began to cry in pain.

The black-bearded general narrowed his tears and howled loudly: "Your Majesty, if you explain to anyone who takes over your throne, let us tell us these loyal ministers. The world is not peaceful for a long time, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. We should devote ourselves to our efforts and support the new emperor to govern the world after death."

The ministers who supported Zhu Yunwen looked at the black-bearded general and couldn't help but complain: "Geng Bingwen, Geng Bingwen, you are too shameless. Now you will please the new emperor in the spirit of the late emperor. If you do this, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, you will definitely be a loyal minister. What do you think of us? You have said all good words by you, what else can we say? ... Everyone says that you are straightforward, and you Geng Bingwen is extremely cunning."

Zhu Yunwen was very moved. He lay on the ground and cried bitterly, looking at Geng Bingwen with tears in his eyes, nodding repeatedly, thinking to himself: "This Geng Bingwen is a big loyal minister, and I will definitely use him well in the future. What official position is he now? Well, no matter how much, I will take charge of the Governor's Office at that time. Well, the minister is still very loyal. Although Geng Bingwen is not as good as Li Jinglong, he is loyal. This is a good minister."

Fang Xiaoru saw the civil and military ministers crying bitterly, and immediately waved to the fat eunuch An. Eunuch An came over with a few people in his mind. Fang Xiaoru took out the edict from his sleeve, stuffed it into eunuch An's hand, and whispered: "Opinion, promulgation..."

Eunuch An glanced at Fang Xiaoru and whispered: "As soon as this decree is proclaimed, I will offend people at that time." Eunuch An is not stupid either. It is easy to get a predecessor to get an imperial edict on the front, but it will be troublesome to finish it. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang fell, the ministers of the entire Ming Dynasty felt that the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and no longer had to worry about the Jinyiwei rushing into the bedroom to arrest people in the middle of the night, and they all became arrogant. Eunuch An did not think that he could intimidate these ministers now and let him read the edict that would offend half of the ministers. Eunuch An was reluctant.

Fang Xiaoru sneered, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Master General Manager, please think carefully. If Zhu Di ascended the throne, is this general manager still yours? Yanjing is full of talents, especially according to the report of the secret spy of the Jinyiwei, then Eunuch Lu is deeply trusted by the King of Yan, especially his skill is unfathomable. If King Yan ascended the throne, where will Eunuch An put him?"

Eunuch An trembled all over, and two rays of light suddenly shot out from mung bean's eyes. He shook his spirits, suddenly lifted up a sip of his not very strong true energy, and shouted: "Everyone, this is the personal decree left by the emperor, and all the civil and military officials in the court listened to the decree." He took out the yellow silk and recited it loudly: "Yu Zheng fought for his whole life, killed too much, and has been considerate of the heart of heaven for the rest of his life, and felt ashamed of the world. The crown prince Yunmin is a good-natured, intelligent and wise, and is worthy of great use..."

After praising Zhu Yunwen for dozens of words, Eunuch An finally read the meaning of "Zhu Yuanzhang": "Therefore, the crown prince Yunwen was appointed as the emperor and took charge of the world."

The tears on the ministers who supported Zhu Yunwen's faces were not dry, and they immediately showed a happy old flower-like smile. They knelt down to Zhu Yunwen in an orderly manner and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live..."

The ministers who were still supporting Zhu Di just now took a turn for the worse, and they couldn't help but feel like they were hit by a blow, and they were all foolishly on the spot. They only realized that the ministers who supported Zhu Yunwen started to shout long live, and then they reacted. The ministers who were uneasy and regretful in their hearts fell to the ground and expressed their allegiance to Zhu Yunwen. They regretted in their hearts. If they had known that the result would be like this, they would have supported Zhu Yunwen with all their strength.

In the feudal dynasty, a forged edict could make everyone in the world shut up. Fang Xiaoru's methods did hit the nail on the head. Speaking of which, he was also arbitrary. After all, forged edicts were not taught by the saints. But Fang Xiaoru also had his own reasons: "The old emperor has confirmed that the grandson has taken over the throne, so what questions are there? The way of a gentleman is to be righteous. There is no need to be too particular about the small matters in the last quarter." Therefore, Fang Xiaoru, who knelt in front of Zhu Yunwen, had a smile on his face, his mood was calm and natural, without any anxiety.

The entire hall immediately became a happy place. Eunuch An announced that according to the system, after Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, he would choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. Before that, Zhu Yunwen and several close ministers would temporarily take over the national affairs. It was natural that Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others were all on the list, and they would have the power of the government for a while. What about Zhu Yunwen? At this moment, Zhu Yunwen still had to play the role of a grandson and respectfully completed the set of pre-spirit ceremony. I am afraid that there would be dozens of days to be able to rest.

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other three immediately gathered together. Qi Tai frowned and said, "Those vassal kings are going to come to the capital to pay tribute to the previous emperor, I'm afraid there are some inappropriate ones. There are only tens of thousands of troops in Yingtian Prefecture. If the dozen vassal kings bring thousands of troops, they may be listening to them by then. Hey, who are the ruthless masters?"

Fang Xiaoru nodded: "Yes, you can't let them enter the capital, otherwise... But as a prince, it's natural for us to pay tribute to our father. What can we do?"

Huang Zicheng's eyes blinked and had an idea: "In this way, then find a reason to suppress the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, father and son. Just say that the death of the late emperor, the world is shaking and the world is unstable. In order to guard against the rebellion of the barbarians in all directions, all the vassal kings must guard their fiefs and strictly prohibit leaving without permission. Of course, it is reasonable to let their princes enter the capital instead of their father and replace their sons with grandchildren. This is easier to write the edict, so that people in the world can feel that we are afraid."

Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru looked at each other and nodded in praise: "Miaoji, it is indeed the best of both worlds. Zicheng, then you will draft the edict and send the horses to the hands of those vassal kings as soon as possible. I'm afraid they are on the way now and must order them to return to their fiefdoms as soon as possible. Only the princes of each prince can enter the capital."

Huang Zicheng nodded and hurriedly brought a group of people there.

Zhu Di, with a grim expression, walked halfway through the journey with his four sons and no brigade guards. At this time, they received an edict from Yingtian Prefecture. Looking at the jade seal on the edict, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War who came with the edict and the military dispatch documents of the Governor's Office, Zhu Di was so angry that he slapped the head of the war horse with his palm. He shouted in a dark voice: "What a Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, I underestimate you... Well..." Zhu Di's face calmed down instantly. He looked at the monk Daoyan and monk Dao Ni beside him thoughtfully, and chuckled: "Forget it, just as they wrote, Xi'er, Yu'er, Ren'er, you three will go to Yingtian for me."

Zhu Yi shouted: "Father, why don't you let me go?"

Zhu Di's face changed and he cursed angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say? Before leaving Yanjing, what happened to the maids who committed suicide by jumping into a well in your mansion? You are full of evil spirits and cannot go to Yanjing, so as not to bump into people... Xi'er, Yu'er, you two come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhu Ren shrugged his shoulders and pulled Zhu Yi to the side. He carefully explained: "It's okay, didn't you just kill a few maids? What a big deal? My father doesn't mean to blame you. Are we two? We like to eat, drink and have fun, and my father knows it himself. Can we blame us? Or follow my father back to Yanjing honestly, and I will go to Ying Tianxiaoyao... Hehe, I hope the pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River will be opened, and I will go and feel comfortable."

Zhu Yi looked envious and shook her head and sighed: "The prince's prince is not allowed to leave his fiefdom. This time he has a rare opportunity to go to Yingtian to play, who knows..."

On the other side, Zhu Di pulled Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu to the side and carefully ordered: "This time, you will not let your third brother and fourth brother make a pair. Otherwise, they will definitely be lawless when they are together. I don't know what trouble Yingtian caused me. However, due to the system, you can't just go there, so I'll tell others that Yi'er is sick, so I can't go."

After a while of silence, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi and said, "You should learn to do something. This time you go to Yingtian, you can make friends with your cousins. Ask them what they mean to Yunwen ascend the throne... Wuer, you and your elder brother have always been disagreeable, but this time, I don't care about your conflicts before. In Yingtian, you must take good care of your elder brother... I am afraid of something now. If you are detained, you must find a way to leave. Wuer, can you do it?"

Zhu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous aura, looked at Zhu Xi, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father, if Yunmin dares to detain us, I will take a sword and kill..."

Zhu Di slapped him in the face and whispered: "Nonsense, you, can you use your brain besides killing people? Your grandfather left an edict that already stated that Yunwen succeeded to the throne. Now that he can only wait for his father to be funeral, you can choose an auspicious day to let Yunwen ascend the throne. If you kill him now, you are killing the emperor. Do you want the world to attack him? Nonsense, noonsense... If they want to detain you, you will try every means to slip away. Well, King Ning has always been with me. As long as you escape to Daning City, it doesn't matter."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Di looked at the slightly gloomy sky and sneered: "My emperor nephew ascended the throne, hehe, I don't know yet... The secret report of Tenglong's secret spy said that Li Feng had recruited some masters in Shaanxi. Now he has led the sixty strongest subordinates to Yingtian. When you arrive outside Yingtian City, you would rather wait a few days first, and wait for Li Feng and the others to come in before going in together."

After a while of silence, Zhu Di commented on Li Feng: "Although Li Feng is still a little tender, he acts ruthlessly and never leaves any troubles. He is careful in his calculations step by step and has a close mind. Especially when he is very rude and absurd in front of others, he is actually calm and able to endure. If he uses this person well, he is the talent of Wang Zuo. If he doesn't use it well, he is a poisonous snake in his heart. Xi'er, you have to use him well. This time he goes to Yingtian, maybe you should listen to his ideas more."

Zhu Xi was happy and quickly said, "This is, my son must obey the order."

Zhu Zi snorted a little dissatisfied: "If you want to talk about talent, Murong is not worse than him."

Zhu Di sneered: "It's a pity that Murong Tian is not as good as treacherous as a wise man. This is where Murong is not as good as him. Zhuan, you can learn it well. The way to be a king and a general, after all, it is the eight words of insult and meanness, treacherous and viciousness. If you understand it, you can at least become a famous general of a generation."

Zhu Yu nodded and agreed loudly.

Without too much nonsense, Wang Zhao had to return to Yanjing City. Monk Daoyan had to take him by his side to discuss matters, but Monk Daoyan was only willing to follow Monk Daoyan. So he was afraid that Zhu Xi and his friends would encounter an unexpected Zhu Di in Yingtian Mansion, so he simply left most of the accompanying guards, a total of 700 guards and all the accompanying masters from the Nether Palace to Zhu Xi and others. He only brought a few hundred guards and rode his horse towards Yanjing.

Zhu Xi stood there and watched Zhu Di go away, taking a long breath. For the first time in his life, he felt that he was going to deal with a complicated matter alone. He said to himself in his heart: "Maybe, this is my father's exam for me." Yingtian Mansion is now undercurrents, and interest groups are entangled with each other. If Zhu Xi can escape from Yingtian Mansion with his own and his subordinates' strength, it will prove that he can stand alone.

Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Xi, stroked the hilt of his long brass sword, and coughed: "Big...Brother, we should leave." As soon as this 'big brother' was said, Zhu Yu suddenly realized that this word was not too difficult to say, so he continued: "It's the first time that we have grown up to be the fief of our Prince Yan Mansion. Last time, my brother had the chance to play in the south, but I was not as good as me."

Zhu Xi felt a little warm and nodded and smiled, "If the second brother wants to see the Fengyue in the south, the Qinhuai River is a good place. However, if there is a great mourning today, no one dares to open the door to business. However, it is natural that the brother has a way, and it is easy to see a little luxury Fengliu... Third brother, let's go, what are you doing?"

Zhu Ren sighed: "Brother, this fourth brother was taken back by his father, so I have no companion. When you arrive in Yingtian Mansion, you must take me around to play."

Zhu Xi said seriously: "This time I went to Yingtian Mansion, but I would do a good job of doing business. It would be fine if I had a little trip, but I could not provoke those things in Yanjing City. The Jinyiwei in the capital is not the group of people we raised in our own mansion. Even if we are a royal family, if we provoke too much trouble, I am afraid that the boy Yunmin will turn against us and take advantage of the situation to arrest us."

Then Zhu Ren said nonsense: "Yunmin? What kind of talent does that kid have? Why should he be the emperor? If you want me, it would be better for our father to be the emperor, and then each of us will be a prince to play. Hehe, it is best to divide my fiefdom in the south. Since ancient times, the beauty of the Southern Dynasty has been the best in the world."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu were so scared that they were tightly tight. Zhu Yu reached out to cover Zhu Ren's mouth tightly, while Zhu Xi shouted loudly: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, third brother, if you talk nonsense, just go back to Yanjing. You're really going to die. If you dare to say these troubles, I'll tell your second brother to break your mouth so that you can't speak." He looked at the guards around him nervously, his face turned gloomy, and shouted: "What did you hear?"

The guards knelt down in horror: "I heard nothing."

Zhu Xi said viciously: "It's best if I hear something that shouldn't have.... Hehe, don't forget that your family is all in Yanjing City."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi joined forces to threaten the guards, and then the ones who got on the car got on the car, and the ones who got on the horse, reduced the team to move to Yingtian Mansion by half. Ren Tianlin rode his horse to Zhu Xi's carriage with a smile and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we actually think that the third highness said..."

Zhu Xi opened the curtains, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think he said?"

A light full of ambition flashed in Ren Tianlin's eyes: "It makes sense...if, hehe..."

Zhu Xi's face was calm. He squinted his eyes and looked at the weeds on the roadside unconsciously, falling into deep thought.

Ren Tianlin gently shook the folding fan and sang softly: "The King of Yan is the iron cavalry in the world, and the King of Yan's army is powerful all over the world... The martial arts of these two high men are rare in the world. Is the army of the court really so powerful? Can it be compared with the army of the King of Yan's mansion?"

The sound of a tiny conspiracy floated between heaven and earth, and then was immediately blown away by the breeze without leaving a trace.

Outside Yingtian Mansion, Li Feng and others, who had been traveling continuously so that their faces were darkened by dust, finally arrived after the kitten sat down and lay down twenty-seven horses. The group slowly pineapple horse reins and stood there looking at the majestic city walls of Yingtian Mansion.

Li Feng's eyes swept across the Yangtze River passing through the city, and his heart suddenly stumbled: "It's over, Fang Xiaoru, I've met him. That time I slapped him in the face, and then his grandfather was assassinated by us. This is a big problem. I will definitely encounter him at that time. Wouldn't this be a terrible death? Oh, it would be great if I learned the magic of change. Unfortunately, I don't have enough skills and can't change in front of so many people."

When the old eunuch Yin saw Li Feng’s face feeling embarrassed, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: “Sir Li, is there anything wrong with it?”

Li Feng smiled bitterly: "Remember the last time I was on the riverside? I slapped Fang Xiaoru. I have heard on the way that the crown prince Zhu Yunwen was appointed to succeed the throne. Fang Xiaoru is his teacher. Now he must have a high power position. I am afraid that it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, right?"

Old Eunuch Yin also took a breath and felt a little uncomfortable. This is not a easy-to-solve problem. As Zhu Xi's closest person, Li Feng must follow him around. If Zhu Xi goes to the mourning hall, Li Feng will probably follow him. And Zhu Yunwen must be soaked in the mourning hall and couldn't come out. Fang Xiaoru, then naturally, also needs to follow him. Li Feng is 100% sure to be recognized.

The kitten had a sharp ear, and he turned his head and shouted impatiently: "Who is Fang Xiaoru? I just knock him down with this stick. Roar, let's go in quickly and go to the city to eat meat and drink... If Fang Xiaoru dares to come and cause trouble, he will kill him with one stick."

A fierce light flashed in Li Feng's eyes: "If you are helpless, this is the only way to do it." Li Feng thought insidiously: "It seems that he has used a monster like a cat, a demon pill, to assassinate Fang Xiaoru, right? But in order not to reveal his own conscience, there is only this."

Just as he was ruthless here, a man ran over shouting and shouting: "Mr. Li, Lord Li, you are here... The prince and the others have been waiting for three days."
Chapter completed!
