The two of them walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and happened to bump into Concubine De who was taking a walk.
"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Concubine De and her personal maid Bingyue saluted Jiang Qiulu.
"My beloved concubine, who do you think this is?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
Concubine De looked at Jiang Donglin and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"My little brother, please pay your respects to Concubine De!" Jiang Donglin saluted Concubine De.
"Are you...Prince Jiang?"
At first, Concubine De didn't recognize it.
Only when she saw that the faces of Jiang Donglin and Jiang Qiulu were somewhat similar did Concubine De recognize them.
"Exactly, my dear."
"It's been eight years since we last said goodbye," Jiang Donglin said.
De Fei recalled.
Jiang Donglin is one of the few people who doesn't dislike Jiang Qiulu's stupidity.
When he was young, he often played with Jiang Qiulu.
However, due to the Northern Incident, the Turkic army raided the Daxia Dynasty.
As the marshal, King Jiang was ordered to command the battle.
At the same time, young Jiang Donglin was also taken away.
Counting the time, it has been eight years.
"My beloved concubine, please order the imperial kitchen to prepare some food and wine."
"Send it here."
"promise!"
Concubine De immediately went to prepare.
"Donglin, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight!" Jiang Qiulu said.
"good!"
After a while, Concubine De prepared the food and wine and sent them to Tai Chi Hall.
"Come on, Donglin."
The two raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Brother Emperor, I'm on my way here today."
"I saw some special guards."
"I heard from my father that these guards are called Jin Yiwei, and they were organized by you personally, my brother." Jiang Donglin asked.
"yes."
"Now that the court is in chaos, you must have your own strength to stand up."
"Otherwise, that King Yong will become even more arrogant." Jiang Qiulu said helplessly.
"Then why didn't the emperor directly order him to be arrested?"
"No."
"First of all, the position of regent is awarded by the late emperor."
"If there is no irrefutable evidence, taking it down directly would be against etiquette and law, and would definitely arouse criticism from the ministers of the DPRK and China."
"Secondly, King Yong has an army."
"Capture King Yong directly, and his army will definitely attack the palace."
Jiang Qiulu told the reason.
There are various signs that the greater the privilege of King Yong, the greater his ambition.
Now he covets the throne.
"Brother, that's it."
"I'll find an opportunity to kill this person."
"Then let the army eat this black dragon army!"
After a few glasses of wine, Jiang Donglin was a little excited.
"Donglin, you absolutely must not!"
Jiang Qiulu stopped him immediately.
"Although Lin Qingzhi is not with him now, it is easier to kill him."
"But he still has a lot of henchmen."
"Besides, King Yong may be related to the Turks, so he cannot be killed for the time being."
"We don't know the specific number and combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Legion," Jiang Qiulu said.
Finally, Jiang Donglin calmed down.
"Brother Imperial, please let me join the Zhenfu Division."
"This way I can help you share the burden."
"At least it can protect your safety." Jiang Donglin said.
Hearing what Jiang Donglin said, Jiang Qiulu smiled slightly.
"Donglin, I have a position. I wonder if you are interested."
"What position?"
"Commander of the Ouchi Guards."
Jiang Qiulu paused and then continued.
"Originally, this position was temporarily filled by veteran General Di Yuanzheng."
"But recently, I wanted to take care of the Turkic prince who was imprisoned."
"So we can't leave Zhenfu Division for the time being."
Jiang Donglin suddenly became energetic and agreed repeatedly.
Inheriting King Jiang's bad temper, Jiang Donglin is also impatient.
Jiang Qiulu asked him to serve as the commander of the imperial guards.
One is to reduce the burden of Di Yuanzheng.
After all, in addition to personally guarding the imperial edict, Di Yuanzheng also had to be in charge of the entire Kyoto city's imperial army.
The strength of the Jingxi camp must also be investigated.
Another reason is that your own dragon group needs a leader.
"Donglin, tomorrow I will take you to see my secret power." Jiang Qiulu said with a mysterious face.
Jiang Donglin seemed very excited when he heard about the mysterious power.
Then he started pouring wine into Jiang Qiulu.
The two chatted happily until late at night before they ended.
Concubine De looked at the table full of messes and the two people who had fallen to the ground unconscious.
I felt funny and helpless in my heart.
So he called some of the royal guards outside the door and carried the two of them away.
It took several palace maids to clean up the mess for a while.
The next day, Jiang Qiulu slowly woke up.
He rubbed his aching head and then sat up from the dragon couch.
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
At this time, Concubine De just walked in from outside the door.
Bingyue behind her was holding a bowl of bird's nest soup.
"My beloved concubine, what time is it?" Jiang Qiulu asked in a daze.
"It's already time." Concubine De replied.
Taking the bird's nest porridge brought by Bingyue, Jiang Qiulu began to drink it slowly.
"My dear concubine, did Concubine Rong give you any trouble after she was released from house arrest?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"No." Concubine De shook her head.
"Since then, I haven't seen her."
"It shouldn't be." Jiang Qiulu frowned and muttered to himself.
According to normal circumstances, after Concubine Rong was released from custody.
You should leave Yaohua Palace as soon as possible.
Go to Prince Yong's Mansion, or somewhere else.
Even making things difficult for Concubine De is within reason.
"His Majesty?"
Looking at Jiang Qiulu who was deep in thought, Concubine De called softly.
Jiang Qiulu came to his senses and drank the bird's nest porridge in his hand.
"My beloved concubine, come with me to the Zhenfu Division."
"Concubine Rong must be plotting something, we have to arrange it in advance."
"Your Majesty, maybe you don't need to go to such trouble." Concubine De said with a smile.
"How to say?"
Seeing Concubine De's confident smile, Jiang Qiulu felt a little strange in her heart.
"After some time, I will go to Yaohua Palace to negotiate with her."
Jiang Qiulu felt worried when he heard that Concubine De was going to Yaohua Palace.
Normally, when Concubine Rong saw Concubine De, she would inevitably ridicule and make things difficult for her.
"My beloved, is this really possible?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Right now Concubine Rong has not taken concubine seriously, so this is the best time to investigate her."
This sentence awakened Jiang Qiulu.
But Jiang Qiulu was afraid that Concubine Rong would cause problems for Concubine De.
It is possible to even harm Concubine De.
"If that bitch dares to be disrespectful to you, tell me when you get back."
"I'm venting my anger on you!" Jiang Qiulu said.
Concubine De smiled and nodded, then left.
After a while, Jiang Qiulu walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and saw Jiang Donglin walking towards him.
Jiang Qiulu chuckled.
"Bold Jiang Donglin!"
"As the commander of the Imperial Guards, I actually slept until this hour."
"What's the crime?"
Jiang Qiulu said in a tone of voice.
Jiang Donglin rolled his eyes at Jiang Qiulu.
"Brother, as the king of a country, doesn't he also sleep until this time?"
