If there is any place in the palace that is the most deserted, it must be the Yin Tian Palace. There is a saying circulating in the palace: If you commit a crime, even if you are thrown into prison by His Majesty, or in the cold palace, it is better than destroying the Yintian Palace. Even if the Sixth Prince took the initiative to greet the three people from Yin Tiandian a few days ago, it could not change their impression of Yin Tiandian.
The two father-in-laws passed by Yin Tian Palace, and their pace unconsciously accelerated a little.
"In the imperial palace, the Yin Tian Palace needs Yin Qi, not as much Yin Qi as the Leng Palace. It needs Yang Qi and righteousness, not as much as the Jin Luan Palace. Why do you think the Yin Tian Palace is still here? Let's demolish it."
"Isn't that right? Every time I pass by the prison, it's much busier than here."
"It's really unlucky. The Chinese New Year is only ten days away and I have to pass through this place. If it weren't for the snow being cleared on another road and the adults urging me to get this document, I wouldn't want to pass by this place. It's true. of......"
One father-in-law bumped his elbow, interrupting the other father-in-law who was speaking, and glanced at the door of Yin Tian Palace. The father-in-law who was interrupted also looked over there. The sixth prince and his guards were sitting at the entrance of Yin Tian Palace.
When the two father-in-laws saw the prince, no matter how much they hated Yin Tiandian, they still had to pinch their noses and go over to greet the prince with a smile.
"This slave has met the Sixth Prince."
"Yeah, let's go, let's go." Zhong Daihan waved his hand and told the two of them to leave quickly. When the two slaves heard this, they quickly took three steps as two steps and ran.
"Ha, since you came back from Longjing Kingdom last time, I found that you seem to hate eunuchs." The sixth prince's guard said with a smile.
"You still think so. If I hadn't lent you to my second brother, the crown prince, would the Queen Mother have pushed Eunuch Tan over to me?" At this point, thinking of Eunuch Tan's behavior, I not only shook my head, but sighed. : "It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. But I didn't expect that I only took him out for two days, and he would be infected so quickly. Huang Minyuan would sneak attack me like this. If it hadn't been for meeting that fairy catkin Ling Fenglan of Shan, I guess he can also do the ritual ceremony for my fifth brother that I did for my fifth brother a few days ago."
"The Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come to that ceremony. Does that make you feel chilled?" the guard asked.
"Speaking of heartbreak, it is indeed a little bit, and I would not use the word 'very'. Just like when the fourth sister married into the Dayuan Dynasty, only the seventh sister and I went to see her off. Now that the eighth brother is here, I I still feel pretty good.”
"Since the death of eldest brother." After Zhong Daihan completed this sentence, his bodyguard could not say anything to comfort him.
The eldest prince is indeed a very nice person. He and the sixth prince grew up playing together, and at that time the eldest prince was much older than them and was a big brother. The eldest prince often organized his brothers to play together. In the hearts of the sixth prince, the image of the eldest prince was even more lofty. Able in literature and martial arts, he is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, one day, when Zhong Daihan was studying in his study, bad news came. The eldest prince had hanged himself in his room. As for the reason, no one can find out. It was also because of this incident that the emperor's temperament changed drastically. Not even half a year after the death of the eldest prince, he immediately made the second prince the prince.
At this moment, the only clue that Zhong Daihan found was an incident that happened many years ago - the Battle of Beacon Fire and Thunder Tower. It is also where they are sitting at the door now, Yin Tian Palace.
"Li Zhousong, do you think that Huang Minyuan is a fool? It was obvious that when my fourth sister went to their Dayuan Dynasty to get married, my second brother had already become the prince. He was still planning a plot to kill me in Longjing Kingdom. , and he told me what he was thinking openly and honestly. According to his tone, he probably wanted to seek a position in the court and become the prince himself. "
Zhong Daihan lay down directly and looked at the internal structure of Yin Tian Palace. This Yin Tian Palace is really deserted. Everywhere in the palace, there are at least one or two guards. As for here, come on, the door is open every day, and no one dares to come in, for fear of getting into trouble.
"Hey, Li Zhousong. Why do you think this Yin Tian Palace looks different every time you come here?"
Li Zhousong hugged them with knives and glanced at the scene inside. He shook his head and said, "I don't feel it. In my opinion, they are all the same."
Zhong Daihan said "cut" and continued to look back at the scenery. Telling him so much is like playing the piano to an ox.
"I wonder why the Sixth Prince is doing this upside down?" Al Fang had just finished reading a book and planned to make a pot of tea again. As soon as he came out, he saw the Sixth Prince sitting at the door with his head turned upside down to look at the scenery.
When Zhong Daihan saw Al Fang appear, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just thinking about the problem. If I look at the problem in another direction, I will have different ideas. By the way, Al Fang, I don't know Is your Master Fu back?"
A Fang shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not back yet, but it should be soon. If the Sixth Prince has enough time, he and Brother Li can come in and sit for a while, drink a cup of hot tea and wait."
"What a great idea, I'm just waiting for your words, Al Fang. It's very cold outside, and it just so happened that you made the tea with your own hands. It's so good! It's so good! Hahahahaha!"
A Fang smiled. He didn't know what was in the head of the Sixth Prince. He was acting weird and careless all day long. But the Sixth Prince was the most approachable person in the entire palace. There was another She is his sister, the seventh princess.

After coming down the mountain, Chen Hongjing only saw Fan Xiaoxi once in the past few days. The rest of the time, he didn't know where he was. Gao Zhuli said that since Gao Zhuli and Tang Turing left Fan Mansion that day, they either went to the library to read, or went to the warehouse to get medicinal materials, and to check the alchemy situation in the alchemy room.
Chen Hongjing also heard about Luo Fuhe's situation, so he ran out early in the morning and picked two of the largest and fattest chickens in the market, planning to reward Uncle Yong who lived alone in the mountains after class. . After all, paying more attention to the elderly living alone is an excellent tradition.
Before leaving for the mountain, he went to a wine shop and bought two bottles of wine. He knew more or less the rules of the world. When asking for help, you can't leave empty-handed, especially for an elderly person like this. , If you don’t bring a bottle or two of wine, you probably don’t have to ask, and there will be no discussion.
Chen Hongjing was carrying two chickens, and the two wine bottles in his clothes collided with each other, making a clanging sound. It was like when he was seven years old, he was asked by the old man to go down the mountain to fetch water, and a child was carrying two wooden buckets, walking step by step. When I got home, I was afraid that the water would be spilled, but when I got home, I still spilled more than half of it, and the two buckets of water turned into one bucket of water.
He saw the crazy old man meditating in front of the cave door, so he didn't bother him, walked around him, walked into the cave, boiled water, killed the chicken, and plucked the feathers. Chen Hongjing was extremely skilled in these steps. After everything was done, Chen Hongjing deliberately poured a glass for the crazy old man.
"Oh? Is there only one glass of wine? If you drink it for yourself, you won't give me face. If you drink it for myself, you won't give me face either." The crazy old man said in a strange way.
"Ah, Uncle Yong, are you awake? Didn't I think you hadn't woken up yet, so I wanted to pour myself a cup to taste it? Since you're awake, I don't have to try it. I'll fill up another cup. , let’s eat chicken together, drink together, and chat together.”
Fan Xiaoxi once said that the rules of the world are that before asking others to do something, you must do it first as a sign of respect.
I saw Chen Hongjing raising the glass with both hands and saying proudly to the crazy old man: "Uncle Yong, thank you for taking care of you these days. I'll do it first as a token of respect." Chen Hongjing imitated the man in the world, drank the glass of wine, and put the glass back Turn it upside down to show that you are really done drinking. It turns out that wine is so unpleasant to drink, bitter and spicy, and I don’t know why the adults drank it so happily.
The crazy old man glanced at it and continued to say in a weird way: "I've taken care of you for a few days, is it only worth one drink? You have to start with this number anyway." The crazy old man slowly made a three sign.
Chen Hong nodded and said quickly that it was natural. He quickly picked up the wine bottle and filled a glass, and drank two large glasses in a row.
"Noononuo, we agreed to start with three cups, but it's only two cups, and there's still one cup left." The old man encouraged.
Chen Hongjing had no choice but to drink another cup. After these four cups went into his throat, Chen Hongjing's face was already hot and his whole body began to feel dizzy. Before he was drunk, he started to tell the truth to the old man. Pointing at the old man, he scolded: "I told you, old man, it's true that you had to make me drink when I was a child. I came to visit you with good intentions. I bought chickens to show my filial piety to you, and I also brought you two jugs of wine. . Do you know how much these cost me? Fifty taels of broken silver! Do you know what fifty taels of broken silver is? That’s a whole fifty large copper plates, fifty!”
"Oh? Really? I don't know who told me to come to visit me the day after I came down from the mountain. Today, it's already the fifth day. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, let alone my broken cave. Tell me, why did you come to me?" The crazy old man tore open a chicken leg and blew on it.
"It's not because of Fatty Fan's matter. Neither one of them is worried. I'm just a young man asking for help. It's pointless..." Chen Hongjing was already drunk before he finished speaking.
Fatty Fan? Is he the little brat that he was unhappy with and beat him up that day? Hey, fun, fun.
Fan Xiaoxi was flipping through the documents in the library to see if there was anything similar to Lao Luo's illness in history. A white pigeon suddenly flew in, as if it was holding something in its mouth, as if it was looking for someone. Similarly, he suddenly stopped in front of Fan Xiaoxi, "squeaked" and spit the thing in his mouth directly into Fan Xiaoxi's face, and then flew away.
"Stinky pigeon, fly one step slower and I will kill you and make mung bean and pigeon soup." Fan Xiaoxi pointed at the pigeon that flew away and cursed.
When I opened the paper, I was so frightened that I almost tore the note off. No wonder the smelly pigeon could be dragged like this. It turned out to be the senior's homing pigeon.
Come to the mountain quickly, otherwise you will be the one to watch!
With such a simple sentence, Fan Xiaoxi was so frightened that he put down the book in his hand, turned around and ran up the mountain. This old man is not easy to get along with.
——
In the Yintian Hall, Li Zhousong was reading alone, and could not get into the conversation between Zhong Daihan and A Fang. The two of them talked about the great principles in the books of sages, the chivalrous things in the world, and the chivalrous things in the world. The story talks about the trivial daily life among ordinary people. It seems that as long as these two people get together, there will be endless topics to talk about.
There was a sound outside the door, and the three of them looked out at the same time. Sure enough, Fu Hengze and Jiang Zhi came back. Before Zhong Daihan put down the book in his hand, he walked out and said with a bow: "I've met Mr. Fu. Sir, you are finally back."
Fu Hengze also returned a salute to Zhong Daihan and said: "I have met His Highness the Prince. My Yin Tian Palace has never been liked by people, but you, the Sixth Prince, come to visit me from time to time."
Zhong Daihan said: "Actually, I came here this time because I have a question to ask Mr. Fu."
"Oh? Prince, please tell me something. As long as I, Fu, know about it, I will definitely tell you everything and clear up the prince's doubts."
"What I want to ask Mr. Fu is how to capture a city in the shortest possible time, a piece of land that no one dares to snatch, but that many people covet."
Fu Hengze nodded, stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Although Longjing Kingdom is not big, it has as many as six cities. Five of them are guarded by some immortal sects due to terrain problems. Therefore, even after the Longjing Kingdom was destroyed, it would not have much impact on the people of the five cities. But there was only one city in chaos that no one dared to touch, and that was the capital of Longjing Kingdom. It was also where the prince went before. .”
"Now that the Dayuan Dynasty has brought back the soul of its prince at the same time as us, it also shows that this is the best time to send troops to capture it. And the prince came here to ask me this question."
Zhong Daihan nodded. He had already decided to annex Longjing Kingdom. He came here just to think about whether it was the best time for Fu Hengze to send troops at this time. Zhong Daihan asked again: "Master Fu, are you sure now is the best time to send troops?"
Fu Hengze nodded: "Exactly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has had no achievements since his canonization, and it is precisely because of this place that he lost one of his brothers, and His Majesty lost a son. In addition, what happened between you and General Zhu Weize , I believe the truth of the matter has already reached the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"As long as the Sixth Prince mentions this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that whether His Highness the Crown Prince sends troops or not, the Sixth Prince will know what the Crown Prince is thinking. If we consider the worst consequences again, if His Highness the Crown Prince does not send troops, , the Sixth Prince can also send out troops on his own to capture the Longjing Kingdom and make it his own territory. But if you do this, the Sixth Prince’s future path will be a little difficult."
Zhong Daihan nodded and said: "I have considered all these. Since Mr. Fu said that this is the best time to send troops, then why would I just watch that piece of land dry there."
"However, I still have a question to ask Mr. Fu."
"As I said before, as long as I know something, I will definitely tell the Sixth Prince."
Zhong Daihan smiled slightly and said, "I want to know about the battle at the Beacon Fire and Thunder Tower in Yin Tian Palace."
Fu Hengze also smiled slightly at Zhong Daihan.
With a bang, Zhong Daihan and Li Zhousong were invited out by Fu Hengze.
Zhong Daihan looked at the closed door and shook his head. This old man was really bad. He promised to clear up the doubts and kicked the person out the next moment. This old man is difficult to get along with.
