Chapter 308
In Qingquan Palace, Yan Long saw a harmonious royal family banquet, at least on the surface.

In addition to Tianqi himself, a group of concubines, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and Yunhuang Princess Zhu Jiarou were present.The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the prince Zhu Cijiong. The future heir of the Ming Empire is not yet three years old, but he was born extremely intelligent. He can recite classics and historical classics at a young age, and has his own unique insights.

His mother, Concubine Rong Ren, is beautiful and gentle, and is extremely loved by Tianqi.The Ren family was dedicated to Emperor Tianqi by Wei Zhongxian. It is said that she is Wei Zhongxian's nephew and granddaughter in Wei County, Hebei. Therefore, Zhu Cijiong also has the blood of Wei Changgong's family.

The two sons before Tianqi, Zhu Ciran and Zhu Cixuan, both died young, but Zhu Cijiong survived.

There are rumors in the palace that these two former princes were murdered to death by the emperor's wet nurse, Hakka, in collusion with the "counter-eating" Mr. Wei Chang. It came out, but after all, Emperor Tianqi didn't take it seriously at all, so these rumors can only be rumors, and they can't be realized, because with Wei Changgong's current power, no one dares to investigate.

Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, looked at Zhu Cijiong running and playing in the Qingquan Palace with satisfaction. He was in a good mood. He immediately decreed that he would go to Jingxiao Mangshan Palace for an outing on a certain day. Mangshan Peak absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth to speed up the recovery of the body.

Mangshan Mountain is said to be the place where spiritual energy gathers in the Gyeonggi area, and it has always been known as the head of the dragon.In the early years of Tianqi, after Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, his body was weak, his spirit was weak, and he had nightmares and night dreams, all of which were ghostly shadows. According to the national teacher Xiao Daoling, he was invaded by evil spirits, so Tianqi moved to Mangshan Li Palace for a period of time. On the first day, Xiao Daoling set up a magic circle to protect the soul and concentrate the mind, nourishing the energy and rectifying the mind. In less than a few days, Tian Qi felt refreshed and energetic.

Therefore Mangshan Li Palace has always been regarded as a blessed place by Tianqi.

In Yan Long's memory, the prince Zhu Cijiong in Ming history was not born in the second year of Tianqi, but at the end of the fifth year of Tianqi. That is to say, if the normal trend of history follows, Zhu Cijiong has not yet been born.

But the system has also told Yan Long that his arrival has completely changed the order of this time and space, so it will inevitably change the course of history.Thinking of this, Yan Long felt relieved.

If history cannot be changed, then what is the point of coming to this time and space?

If it is destined to change, wouldn't it be better for him to make an earth-shaking, complete change for it? !
Three days later, the emperor issued an order to move to the Li Palace on the top of Mangshan Mountain for rest, accompanied by Prince Zhu Cijiong, a group of concubines, Duke Wei Zhongxian, Governor of Dongchang, Hakka family, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and Princess Yunhuang Zhu Jiarou.The escorting forces include the avant-garde guards of the government army (that is, the guards with swords in the Forbidden Palace), the right guard of Habayashi, and the general camp of the Jinyiwei.Yan Long, as the commander in charge of the Dahan General's camp in Jinyiwei, also accompanied him.

It is more than 80 miles from the Forbidden City to Mangshan Mountain in the western suburbs. Although it is not too far, the emperor’s outings are naturally extraordinary. Going down, it is like a giant dragon winding, very spectacular.

That night, when they arrived at Mang Mountain, the Gong'e eunuchs packed up everything in Li Palace.Hanging up the curtains, lighting up the palace lanterns, heating up the stove, and setting out delicacies, Emperor Tianqi was in a good mood, and even got drunk at the banquet that night.

Staying overnight in the Li Palace, the bedroom where Emperor Tianqi lives is the driest and most open place in the Li Palace, which is also the place where the vitality of heaven and earth gathers the most abundantly as said by Master Protector Xiao Daoling.

Emperor Tianqi and Prince Zhu Cijiong shouldn't live in the same palace, but there is a side hall in Tianqi palace, so Zhu Cijiong lived in the side hall under Tianqi's instruction.

At night, the Dahan General's Battalion under Yan Long's jurisdiction was incorporated into the defensive patrol sequence of Habayashi Right Guard, responsible for guarding the Li Palace at midnight.

Although Yan Long himself did not have a patrol mission, he personally led the Jin Yiwei of the Dahan General's camp to patrol the entire Li Palace when he was in Zishi.

The light from the torches and lanterns illuminated the entire Li Palace brightly and majesticly, and even the sky seemed to be stained with a tinge of red. Special personnel cleaned up every corner to ensure that no dangerous elements were hiding and endangering the safety of the royal family.

Inside the Li Palace, there was a post every five steps, and a sentry post every ten steps. The security was strict, no less than that of the Forbidden City.Therefore, sometimes, patrolling is quite redundant, and it is of no use at all except for making some noise.

Yan Long led the patrol guards around the entire palace.

All is well, nothing has happened!

At Yinshizheng, when the shift was about to be handed over, Yan Long came to the guard camp next to the emperor's bedroom, and was about to hand over to the next shift of the Habayashi Right Guard.

The commander of Yubayashi Youwei's army is Zhong Yuan, who has dealt with Yan Long in Zuifeng Tower, so he can be regarded as an acquaintance.Zhong Yuan had a good impression of Yan Long, and felt that he was not as arrogant as other Jin Yiwei.

Among the killing gods summoned by Yan Long, Xu Huang served as the commander of Yubayashi Youwei under Zhong Yuan's command, and he was regarded as the second person in Yubayashi Youwei.

While Yan Long and Zhong Yuan were handing over, suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and the night sky that was originally bright and starry was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Zhong Yuan looked up at the sky, and sighed, "Oh, it's really bad luck that there will be thunder and rain when it's our turn to be on duty at night."

Yan Long laughed and said: "General Zhong, there will be unexpected events in the sky, and no one can expect it. Let the brothers put on cloaks to keep out the rain."

Zhong Yuan smiled wryly and said: "When I left the capital, I never thought that there would be such a thunderstorm in the winter. The little ones didn't bring rainproof cloaks!"

Yan Long smiled and said: "The Jinyi guards have belts, let someone get them and put them on for the brothers."

"Oh, thank you, Master Yan." Zhong Yuan smiled boldly.

At this time, the Jinyi guards of the Dahan General's camp were still patrolling, and Yan Long and Zhong Yuan were waiting for them to finish their last patrol before officially handing over.

The thunder in the sky became louder and louder, and the strong wind blew on people's bodies, like ice skates piercing the skin.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded on an old banyan tree on the top of the mountain, splitting the banyan tree into a pillar of fire.

Yan Long suddenly felt something!
He noticed the unusual changes in the world amidst the vicissitudes.

——And the condensed point of this mutation is the main hall where Emperor Tianqi and the prince live!

This mutation is different from all previous dangerous feelings.

——It was something Yan Long had never felt before, like a threat from another world.

The feeling is both familiar and dangerous!

Familiarity is due to the feeling of profound strength, and danger is due to the endless killing intent carried in profound strength!
——Those with profound strength invaded!
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Long immediately disappeared like a ghost.Emperor Tianqi now trusts him quite a bit, if he dies, it will not be a good thing for Yan Long.
