The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 397 The Messenger

(Thank you for your rewards and votes, I feel like I am alive again...)
This time, Liu De returned to Longyou with only ten guards.

Concubine Duan has a character of never admitting defeat. After she was beaten by the emperor, she never gave up the idea of ​​tossing.

Now that she knew that her son was still alive, she stepped on her previous idea of ​​going to the temple to provide for the elderly.

After a simple arrangement by Tao Yangbo's mansion, Concubine Duan arranged for this passenger ship for Liu De, and sent him directly on the journey back to Longyou.

Fortunately, this time, they traveled lightly, and with the experience they had accumulated in traveling before, it only took them more than 50 days to rush from the capital to Longyou.

The passenger ship stopped at Yuanyang Wharf, and the soldiers stationed here immediately stepped forward to check.

"Who?" They didn't know the ship.

Liu De didn't panic, but looked at the little banner officer standing beside him.

Of the 11 or so people Zhao Yanxun sent, only [-] followed the guards, and the rest were still in the Zhuangzi of Tao Yangbo's mansion.

The little flag officer leading the team took a step forward and took out his badge from his pocket.

"We are the envoys sent by the prince to the capital, come back today!"

After checking their identities, Liu De and his party were released.

Returning to the familiar Yuanyang, the soldiers felt very cordial. This is their hometown, where they have their relatives and revered King Yong.

Traveled smoothly all the way, entered the city gate smoothly, and soon came to the outside of King Yong's Mansion.

"Eunuch... look at us..." Xiao Banner hesitated to speak.

Knowing what they were thinking, Liu De said generously, "All of you are allowed two days off, go home and reunite, and don't forget to report the safety of the other brothers!"

"Eunuch, don't worry...then we'll go now!"

"Go!"

After these people left, Liu De walked towards the side door of the palace, and took out his identity card.

………………

The back residence of the Prince's Mansion, inside Feiyuxuan.

Lying on the soft couch, Zhao Yanxun was still sullen.

"This Zhou Chengping has no courtesy to be a minister..."

At this moment, Lin Jingyu was sitting opposite, reading a book in her hand.

Sitting up straight on the soft couch, Zhao Yanxun became more and more upset: "Don't tell me I don't know how to save the people, and he is the only one thinking about it?"

"My king started talking about the Northern Expedition, and the other ministers all worked together, and he was the only one who was unconventional, so he insisted on mentioning something to solve the people's urgent needs!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun stood up directly from the soft couch, and said even more annoyed: "He is a good person alone, but this king is like a tyrant who uses military force!"

Zhao Yanxun spoke angrily, but Lin Jingyu didn't respond, which made him feel even more aggrieved.

Just as Zhao Yanxun was about to continue to criticize, Lin Jingyu put down the book and said slowly: "My lord complained about this person in Feiyuxuan. If my concubine didn't remember wrongly, I would have said it at least ten times!"

"The concubine is strange. Why didn't His Highness dismiss such a courtier who has no respect for his elders and no courtesy for a minister?"

Lin Jingyu's words directly choked Zhao Yanxun.

After a few breaths, Zhao Yanxun smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I really want to drive him away and let him go to a remote place to be a county magistrate!"

Lin Jingyu stood up, walked towards Zhao Yanxun slowly and said: "But the prince didn't do this, which shows that the prince has a broad mind!"

These words sounded comfortable, Zhao Yanxun thought to himself.

"The concubine always likes to read, and I have read some history books. When Emperor Taizong was in power, there was also a minister who offended Yan Zhizhi, so he almost pointed at Emperor Taizong and scolded him..."

While talking, Lin Jingyu picked up the teacup and handed it to Zhao Yanxun

"Back then, Emperor Taizong not only didn't demote that minister, but promoted him to be a Marquis!"

"Emperor Taizong's generation is the hero, and the prince is also a heavenly lord. He should not be weaker than Emperor Taizong!"

Lin Jingyu's words made Zhao Yanxun dumbfounded, he was too highly praised by her.

Zhao Hongzhang, Emperor Dazong of the Great Jin Dynasty, can be regarded as a peerless fierce man. His merits and virtues will shine through the ages, and he can be called an emperor through the ages.

Zhao Yanxun felt a little ashamed to be compared to Emperor Taizong by Lin Jingyu for such a small achievement.

But no matter what, Zhao Yanxun's anger towards Zhou Chengping subsided at this moment, so he jokingly asked: "Back then, beside Emperor Taizong, was there a woman as eloquent as Aifei?"

"The concubines have only skimmed through the history books, but they don't know much about Emperor Taizong's concubines. Wait until you see them in the future before answering the prince!"

In fact, there was indeed such a woman beside Zhao Hongzhang back then, and she was a generation of virtuous queens praised by the world.

Of course Lin Jingyu knew about this, but unfortunately she is not a princess, so it is not easy to compare with the empress.

Otherwise, if it gets out, others will say that she covets the position of princess, so it would be bad to attract the envy of Yongfu Palace.

At this moment, Huo An's voice came from outside the main hall: "My lord, Liu De is back!"

Liu De is back?This news surprised Zhao Yanxun, but at the same time made him look forward to it.

"Pass him in!"

Liu De is an eunuch and can receive him in the inner house.

Zhao Yanxun found a chair and sat down, Lin Jingyu returned to the seat by the window, picked up the book and continued to read.

After a while, the eunuch Liu De walked into the main hall and came to the side hall.

"Slave Liu De kowtows to the prince, empress!"

Just now I was joking with Lin Jingyu, now Zhao Yanxun has put on a majestic face, I just heard him say slowly: "Come all the way, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's a slave's blessing to do things for Concubine Duan and the prince!"

"Get up!"

"Yes!"

"Who sent you here?"

"Concubine Duan sent her servants here, and she also asked her to bring a letter to the prince!"

Speaking of this, Liu De took out an envelope from his arms, and carefully handed it to Zhao Yanxun.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun didn't ask any more questions, but opened the envelope directly, and on it was Concubine Duan's beautiful handwriting.

"My son Yanxun, I miss you so much for my mother..."

The sentence that came first made Zhao Yanxun feel a strong maternal love, and the first few paragraphs were full of caring words.

In the second half of the letter, he told Zhao Yanxun about the situation in the court.

"Father pursued me as the crown prince?"

That's what it said in the letter, but Zhao Yanxun still asked.

"Reporting to the lord, at that time, the empress thought that you... had died, so I asked the emperor to make you the crown prince!"

"The crown prince died, and his son was canonized as the grandson of the emperor?" This news undoubtedly surprised Zhao Yanxun even more.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Yanxun didn't ask any more questions, but continued to read the letter.

"The major events in the capital have been decided, the emperor will go his own way, and my mother can't change it. If you want to seize the throne, my son can follow Taizong's story..."

"Rise up a strong army in the northwest, enter the customs to seize the big position..."

After reading the letter, Zhao Yanxun really didn't know what to say.

Lin Jingyu took Taizong as an example to let herself follow suit, and her mother who was thousands of miles away also asked herself to learn from Taizong.

"Wait for my son to send his troops to the east of the capital, and as a mother, he can be a domestic response..."

Seeing this, Zhao Yanxun was a little bit dumbfounded.

Cheap mother is a woman, if she doesn't have the support of the emperor, doesn't she mean courting death in the capital?
