Let's put aside the matter of Gui Yunzheng's westward journey, but say that after the Xiangyang incident that day, King Ping wrote a letter to King Jing, firstly to show his neutral attitude, and secondly to report to King Jing, saying that Du Cheng, Fu Qianqiu and others were already working with him. The beggar gang was involved in a fire and died.
This messenger was none other than Wan Feitong, who was responsible for repairing the book. It turned out that Wan Feitong was on the blacklist of Prince Jing's palace after following Taoist Master Xingyue and making enemies of the officers and soldiers at the martial arts conference. He was very resistant to this matter. Isn't this clearly pushing oneself into a pit of fire?
However, the chopsticks couldn't break the bed nails, and there was nothing he could do if the king ordered him to do so. On the surface, he listens respectfully, but in his heart, he has gone through the same process a thousand times.
"Mr. Wan, this trip must be made by you. I am really worried about others. You have shouldered heavy responsibilities along the way. You must pay more attention to the changes in the layout of the imperial troops along the route. After entering the capital, you must also pay more attention to the changes in the court. The king has sent another commander-in-chief to follow you. He is an expert in military matters. You two will cooperate well, and I will be in the palace, waiting for your good news!"
It has to be said that Prince Ping is still a thoughtful person, and he actually wanted to take this opportunity to get a feel for the distribution and reality of the imperial military forces.
"Your Majesty, Wan will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Wan Feitong pretended to be calm and answered loudly.
Commander Qi was the one who commanded the guards to form a formation to surround Gui Yunzheng that night. He was somewhat brave and knew how to use troops. King Ping asked him to go to the capital together, but he couldn't get it. What a great opportunity this was. After many years of leading guards in the palace, he always felt that he was overqualified. Given this opportunity, he was so happy that he kowtowed to King Ping to thank him.
At that moment, after packing up a little, the two set off lightly.
Along the way, I saw that the people were in panic, either crossing south or west, and there was an endless stream of people on the official road. From time to time, there are soldiers and horses coming from the north to the south.
This situation is simply tense and on the verge of breaking out.
The two of them paid close attention along the way and made secret marks. Unknowingly, they walked for nearly half a month before reaching the capital. Because he had the badge and documents from Prince Ping's Palace, he entered the city smoothly without any questioning, and was taken to Prince Jing's Palace by the city gate guard.
At this time, everyone in Prince Jing's palace was extremely busy.
After returning from the Taishan martial arts competition, Princess Yueluo told Prince Jing honestly about her affair with Du Cheng. When King Jing heard this, he immediately became furious. With his dignity as the regent, how could he tolerate such a thing happening? This inappropriate thing completely disrupted his plan. Therefore, at that time, he was about to order the execution of Du Chengshi.
But although Princess Yueluo was once devoted to Gui Yunzheng, now that she and Du Cheng are married, she has slowly accepted Du Cheng in her heart. What's more, Gui Yunzheng clearly wanted to be the enemy of Prince Jing's palace. In the name of righteousness and various reasons, she could only accept the fact of marrying Du Cheng.
Naturally, she burst into tears and begged, pointing to her growing belly. Finally, she begged Prince Jing to soften his heart, and he finally swallowed the stuffy mouthful.
The marriage between the two was arranged hastily and not many people knew about it. Not long after that, seeing that the war between the north and the south was about to break out, King Jing appointed Du Cheng to Xiangyang. The first is to give him a chance to see what this kid is capable of; the second is to give him a chance and see what he can do if he doesn't have the ability.
Unexpectedly, Princess Yueluo was about to give birth prematurely, perhaps because she was too worried, or perhaps because of the trip to the martial arts competition. Therefore, the whole house was in a state of panic.
Even Prince Jing was restless and stood guard outside Princess Yueluo's main room with the princess, pacing back and forth anxiously.
