When everyone in the camp heard what the big man said, all their eyes turned to Song Qiyun, who was sitting behind Lu Shengyuan, looking like he was watching a good show.
Song Qiyun noticed everyone's gazes and sighed helplessly. To be honest, if this big man hadn't said the words "Prince Li", he could hardly remember what his title was. If no one reminds him, he may not be able to react when someone calls him "Prince of the County" in the future.
Speaking of which, his title and Xia Jiu's title of "King of Yingjun" are basically just decorations. They are so old that they don't even have a palace in Xijing. Every time they return to Beijing to report on their work, they don't live in In the palace, you can eat and live in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion or the Wuding Marquis Mansion. They had not planned to live in the capital for a long time, so they wanted to place a palace somewhere. Firstly, they felt it was unnecessary, and secondly, they were worried that people doing bad things in the name of the palace would appear. Looking at it now, this decision is still very wise.
Although the two of them are princes, their ambitions are not in the imperial city, and they are not very interested in being idle princes who occasionally take care of things and act as a front. They have worshiped heroes since they were young and determined to become generals whose names will go down in history. Sprinkled on the battlefield. Since you want to become a great hero, you naturally have to block the sources of trouble in advance, so as not to be distracted and time-consuming to deal with these trivial matters later.
But the biggest trouble comes from their identities. After all, Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu are from the royal family. As princes, after they grow up, being crowned king is the ultimate path. If the emperor forgets, his relatives and important ministers will write to the emperor to remind him. , even if Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu hid in Jiapingguan City, they could not avoid the step of becoming king.
Originally, after Song Jue ascended the throne, he planned to grant the title of prince to his two younger brothers. Their military exploits were real and clearly written in the merit book. With such military exploits, it was absolutely no problem to grant him a prince title. Unfortunately, when Song Jue discussed it with his two brothers, they were immediately rejected by them. Although the reason used was high-sounding, Song Jue could not think of any reason to refute it.
Among the princes, county princes and other clans of the Song family, the only remaining prince is Song Jue, Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu's uncle, Prince Gongyi. My mother's younger brother is ninety-two years old this year and is considered the oldest among the elderly. Although he was ninety-two years old, the old prince was still in good spirits and in good health. He had nothing to do every day. He spent the whole day "making trouble" in Xijing City, and his life was extremely carefree.
When this righteous prince was young, he could be regarded as an unparalleled divine man in the Great Xia. He could carry a gun and mount a horse to fight on the battlefield, and he could also speak eloquently and defeat the enemies. He was considered an all-round talent with both literary and military skills. Later, he felt that he always rushed to the front and did all the work of the juniors. These juniors knew nothing and didn't understand anything. They always relied on them, the old guys, and when they were all dead, Daxia will fall into the dilemma of being out of business. Therefore, in order to train young people, the old prince became a hands-on shopkeeper at the age of forty.
But taking care of things doesn't mean that the old prince is idle. He doesn't like or want to be like some old people, raising flowers and fish in the house to amuse his grandchildren. He feels that it is a waste of beautiful youth, so he I chose to focus on the mountains and rivers and travel around. Either go to the south of the Yangtze River to play with flowers, or go to the northwest to feed camels, or go further north to see the snow-capped mountains. Anyway, there is no idle time at the end of the year. If he encounters something that he doesn't like, he has to take care of it. .
All in all, from the time when he was forty to seventy years old, it was absolutely impossible to find the old prince in Xijing unless it was during the Chinese New Year every year.
After his seventieth birthday, Prince Yi was prohibited from leaving the city by the late emperor. If he wanted to leave Xijing, he had to file a petition in advance and obtain approval. If he doesn't get approval, the old prince can only stay in Beijing. Originally, the late emperor was worried that the old prince was getting older. If something unexpected happened along the way, they, the younger generation, would regret it to death.
But the late emperor never expected that the old prince agreed to this request and indeed did not leave the capital again. However, he began to "harm" the children, leading the children of the grandchildren headed by Song Jue to become very wild. Especially yearning for the outside world. All of them dreamed of running away, but no one wanted to stay in the capital or the palace to inherit the throne.
After the late emperor knew the truth, he regretted it more. If he had known it would be such a result, he would not have restricted the old prince's freedom. If you are worried about the safety of the old prince, you can just send more people to protect him. After leaving him in the capital, his son became disobedient and wanted to run away. But the matter had come to this, and it was useless for the late emperor to regret it. He could only grab Song Jue, whose legs were a little short and had no time to escape, and used coercion and inducement to force him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Song Qiyun shook his head, because the big man's words "courtesy of the prince" brought back so many memories for him, which was really amazing. However, he felt that what Shen Haolin said before was quite right, and he agreed very much. Every member of the Song family was a freak who only wanted to live a good life of glory and wealth, but had to run away to endure hardship.
Thinking of this, Song Qiyun coughed lightly and slowly stood up from his seat. Like a lazy big cat, he walked slowly towards the big man, stopped in front of him, and looked towards Shadow Thirteen next to him. Reach out.
"Whip!" Taking the whip handed over by Ying Thirteen, Song Qiyun looked down at the big man, swung the whip and sneered, "Boy, I didn't see it, but he's quite smart!"
"Vice General Song!" the big man snorted, "What do you want to do again? In such an occasion, you shouldn't have the right to speak as a little deputy general, right?"
"Originally, there is no such thing, but some people use the name of me to deceive and let me take the blame. This is closely related to me. Although I treat others generously, I am not the kind of person who lets others step on me. It would be a great disgrace to the royal family for someone who can be so arrogant but still swallow his anger. Once my brother comes back to hold me accountable, I will not be able to bear the charge of insulting the royal family's reputation."
"You..." The big man swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and suddenly had a premonition of imminent disaster. He barely supported himself and did not let the other party's momentum overwhelm him. He glared at Song Qiyun fiercely and shouted, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? What can I mean?" Song Qiyun took out a golden card from his arms and waved it in front of the big man's eyes. "Open your dog eyes wide and let me see clearly. I am the king." You're talking about Prince Li." Seeing the big man's face instantly turn livid, his eyes rolled up, and he almost fainted, Song Qiyun put away his sign and whipped the big man's back several times. , to bring him back to his senses, "Do you know what your crime is? The crime of disrespect. Once this crime is established, it will implicate the nine tribes."
"Brother Imperial, it's not just the nine clans that are implicated." Xia Jiu also came over and put his arm around Song Qiyun's shoulders, "This... well, the village where the hero's family is located and the villages within a hundred miles of it will also be implicated." He turned around and looked. To Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian, "My lord, my lord, are you right?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Li, His Royal Highness Prince Ying!" Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, stood up, and saluted respectfully, "I believe that the two princes are right. Such a crime , no one can be forgiven when faced with amnesty."
"Thank you very much. If you didn't remind me, I would have ignored it." Song Qiyun circled the whip around the big man's neck, "Boy, you are not simple. Those relatives and friends of yours , what do your fellow countrymen have against you, why do you want to harm them like this? Your words can destroy so many lives, and make so many innocent people buried with you, don't you feel special in your heart? Comfortable?"
"I...I...no, the villain didn't do it on purpose, no, the villain did it on purpose...still wrong, the villain has nothing to do, please the two princes, the marshal, and the marquis, please spare your life!" The big man obviously felt it. As death approaches, he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. "The villain just heard about the prince's title by chance. Moreover, I heard that no one has seen the prince, so he thought that if he encounters any danger or life-threatening situation, Sometimes, taking out the prince's name may save the villain's life! The villain... please forgive the villain for the sake of the villain's first offence! The villain will definitely treat the prince as a horse, Serve the prince in front of the saddle and behind the horse!"
"Serve me?" Song Qiyun sneered, "I have a very high regard for people. Just like you, whether it is appearance or body shape, you are not in line with my requirements. If there is someone like you around me, , I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for ten days and a half!" Song Qisong loosened the whip from the big man's neck, handed it back to Ying Thirteen, turned to Shen Haolin and said, "In full view of the public, I have committed the crime of slandering the prince. Lord, please enforce the law impartially and punish crimes in accordance with the law."
"Yes, I will obey the king's order."
