Emperor Xuande did what he said.
It had only been half a month since the Danyang mother and daughter left the capital incognito, but a series of imperial edicts written by the royal family were thrown down, instantly turning the surface into a pool of stagnant water, and the capital city, which was secretly filled with treacherous waves, completely exploded.
"What is your Majesty doing?!"
"Oh, this is really a happy situation for some people and a sad situation for others~"
Not only the rich and powerful families or wealthy families in the aristocratic families were deeply shocked, but even the streets, teahouses and restaurants in the market were filled with excitement.
It turned out that Emperor Xuande deposed Xiao Jin, who had been established as the prince since childhood, with an edict, but he did not give any reason. Just as people's hearts were wandering, or those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cling on and add insult to injury, before they could take action, another edict named Xiao Jin as King Ning and patrolled the northern border on behalf of the sky made everyone's jaws drop.
Has Xiao Jin lost his Sacred Heart? For a while, it became a hot topic in the capital.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Jing in the palace was commended and named the virtuous concubine, the first of the four concubines. In the absence of a queen, she really became the number one person in the harem, and she was in the limelight for a while.
And his son, the third prince who left the palace and opened a palace when he was less than 18 years old, also followed suit - Xiao Yan, who had never had a title despite being honored by the palace, was finally granted the throne and was named King of Qin.
Because neither of the two princes who were granted fiefdoms were divided into fiefs by Emperor Xuande, and their titles were all the same word, it was impossible to tell which one was favored more.
Not to mention these "private affairs" of the royal family, there are also several major events that can be said to be closely related to everyone in the world, which are dazzling for a while.
The first was the assassination of Prime Minister Lu, which caused a sensation in the capital at that time. It was suddenly announced that the truth had been revealed. The culprit was Feng Changshi, who had just committed suicide in fear of crime not long ago, but the motive was unknown. As its master, the King of Huaiyang did not respond to the edict for a long time, so he regarded it as a conspiracy. Emperor Xuande issued an edict to reprimand him, and at the same time directly sent troops to conquer.
For a time, the raising of troops caused people to panic. Fortunately, the Huaiyang King's fiefdom was to the south, and while the stakeholders in the capital were in shock day and night, after the ordinary people got through the initial period of shock, their lives were no different from the past.
And in this turmoil, an unpopular beauty in the palace was thrown into the cold palace, or an unpopular prince got sick and died, just like a pebble thrown into the abyss, not to mention the splash, it was even a matter of time. The sound disappeared without even rising.
On the day when King Ning swore to leave the capital, he could see the heroic cavalry in the distance. On a remote slope ten miles away, a carriage had been waiting here for a long time.
When the majestic bugle sound of the army's departure sounded, a man wearing a cloak, stooped and dressed as a businessman who refused to show his head or face rushed to the car.
"Wow——"
Before the visitor could get closer, the car curtain had already opened a corner from the inside.
"What took you so long to arrive!"
There was an angry growl coming from the carriage who tried to lower his voice but could not suppress the words.
The person who came did not reply, but climbed onto the carriage shaft unhurriedly, looking at the blurry figure riding a tall horse at the forefront. Only when it was submerged in the mighty military flags behind it did the person hide his face. He bent down, got into the car, closed the doors and windows and took a seat.
"Heh, why, seeing your former brother leaving the capital in high spirits, can you, a brother like a street rat, feel more comfortable when you leave the capital?"
It turned out that the person who spoke was none other than Chi Xi, a foreigner who was sitting across from the Seventh Prince Xiao Ni in the dilapidated courtyard that day, plotting secretly.
On the other hand, the person who is slowly taking off his disguise at this moment is undoubtedly the young man at that time, the seventh prince Xiao Ni who should be enjoying the incense in the mourning hall now.
Not only was Xiao Ni not annoyed at being so crowded around, she was actually able to curl her lips into a faint smile.
After arranging his cloak, he raised his eyes and retorted.
"Walking with old friends will naturally make you feel more at ease. I just wonder if Brother Chixi will be as safe and secure as I am?"
"you!--"
Chi Xi was so excited that the veins on his forehead jumped.
It can be said that his visit to Beijing was completely unsuccessful, and his last attack was messed up - not only did he alert the enemy, he almost exposed himself, and was seriously injured and unable to move for a long time.
And they paid so much price, and they couldn't even accomplish the initial frame-up in their prince's plan!
Not to mention what kind of punishment he will receive after returning to Beidi, even if such a coward comes and goes, he can't live up to his reputation as the first warrior of the grassland!
Chixi's heart was the most painful when he was stabbed. For a moment, he no longer wanted to argue with anyone, so he simply leaned into the carriage with a grunt, preparing not to say another word to his "fellow travelers" for the entire journey.
But who would have expected that while he didn't want to speak, his fellow travelers suddenly got into a conversation.
"Actually, even though we have reached this stage, no one should laugh at the other. There is no telling who will have a harder time than the other in the future."
Chixi raised his eyes and stared out the car window with emotion. His eyes seemed to be focused on the scenery flying by in front of him, or he seemed to be looking at the destitute man in the distance.
He endured it, but he couldn't hold it back.
"My road will be harder than yours?! What are you talking about in your sleep!"
Xiao Ni was confused by the other party's angry voice and was shocked back to her senses. She looked at the person who was angry and staring at him with probing eyes. He shook his head and smiled.
"Hey, talk!"
Xiao Ni didn't want to be constantly being nabbed in her ears along the way, so she paused briefly and then spoke according to the other person's intention, but only said: "No, our road is equally difficult. But maybe I can get out of the predicament one step ahead of you. .”
Chixi instantly felt that he had been fooled, and he almost jumped up in the car in anger.
"*￥@@#*￥#&!"
Even though he shouted something about Beidi, he actually pulled out the dagger from his waist.
In the blink of an eye, the cold light of the ice blade was enveloped in anger, and it stabbed at the person opposite who was still smiling at him.
Xiao Ni just sat there and smiled lightly at first, as if the person in front of him did not do anything dangerous. When the opponent's arm holding the dagger was about to move forward, he spoke again.
"If you feel angry or feel that I have deceived you, how about we make a bet?"
Since it is freezing cold for more than half of the year, Beidi people only enjoy gambling and horse racing besides drinking and eating meat. Among them, horses are valuable, and unless it involves face or important matters, horse racing is rare. Therefore, betting has become commonplace.
However, I don’t know where this custom originated. However, Beidi people do not take this common gambling agreement as a joke. Instead, they always take it seriously when making and practicing the gambling agreement.
At this moment, Chixi's instinctive habit was suddenly aroused, and he asked very solemnly: "Are you serious?"
But soon, he reacted. The person who was about to make a bet with him was not a member of his clan, but a Central Plains man who was famous for his cunning and insidiousness in Beidi.
"whispering sound!--"
After snorting with disdain, Chixi turned around and sheathed the knife.
"The warriors of Beidi never bother to make a bet with a liar!"
Xiao Ni was still smiling.
"Then it doesn't count as a bet."
Just when Chi Xi frowned in confusion, he had already continued: "You just listen to gossip. In the future, if I take the first step to establish a foothold in Beidi,
