The commander-in-chief took a look at him and said, "By His Majesty's order, the avant-garde guards of the government army will protect His Highness, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from harassing him."

Kong Lenan was surprised and said: "A few days ago I came to see His Highness, why can't I do it now?"

The other party said solemnly: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Because of the lax supervision, sixteen guards have been beaten with military sticks. I don't want to be the No. 17. Please go back, His Royal Highness does not see outsiders."

Kong Lenan's current hope is on Zhu Gaochi, so how can he be willing to leave.But he was in a hurry to go out, he didn't bring any silver taels, so he could only take off the jade que that was on the hem of his Confucian robe, and offered it with both hands. "Please help the head office, I am a member of the Yanshenggong clan, not a treacherous person."

The other party refused to accept it, and said: "Don't hurt me, the general has an order, so I have to follow it."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Kong Lenan will not know how to deal with it for a while.He could only bow again: "Please let me know, Your Highness knows it's me, so he should meet me."

The other party sneered and said: "It is His Majesty's order that His Royal Highness is recuperating in another hospital. It is also His Majesty's order that His Highness should not be disturbed by outsiders. Unless His Majesty writes in hand, no one is allowed to enter, let alone pass on news."

With a small boss, Kong Lenan thinks highly of himself and doesn't want to argue with him. "Excuse me, where is the government army's vanguard yamen? Can Commander Li be in the yamen?"

"Turn around this road at an intersection, and then head south. Our yamen is on the east side of the other courtyard. However, don't work in vain. No one dares to accommodate His Majesty's orders."

Kong Lenan bowed down without losing his grace, but he was too lazy to argue with a soldier.He didn't know the background of the Confucian Mansion, so he had nothing to say to him, but Li Bin, the commander, would know.

Sitting in the carriage, Kong Lenan's heart became much gloomy.He originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was really recovering from his injuries, but now it seems that he is under house arrest!

He also wanted to count on the Crown Prince to come down to the Kong family, but now it seems that His Royal Highness is too busy to take care of himself.

The carriage came to the yamen of Qianwei of the government army, which was originally the yamen of Jinyiwei, next to the royal courtyard.

His carriage was stopped again, and he got out of the carriage as he was prepared, and handed over a greeting card: "Please pass on the message to Marquis Fengcheng, Qufu Kong Lenan pays homage to him."

This time, he was not stopped, and soon met the 60-year-old Li Bin.

Of course Li Bin knew why Kong Lenan came here, but in the past few days he beat sixteen soldiers with their sticks and cleared up the administration of officials again, in order not to let people see Zhu Gaochi.

Now that the case of the Kong family is raging, he doesn't know what Kong Lenan's intention is.

The reason why he met Kong Lenan was to save face for the Kong family, but if he wanted to see Zhu Gaochi, it was impossible.

No matter how good the Kong family is, it has nothing to do with him as a general.His Li family was born with mud legs, and there was no literati for several generations, and they didn't want to delve into learning, so they couldn't compete with the Kong family.

"The doctor doesn't know something. I received His Majesty's order not to be disturbed by His Majesty. His Majesty is recovering from his injuries. Except for his close servants, His Majesty the Crown Prince does not see outsiders."

"But last time..."

"Because you were asked to wait to see His Highness a few times before, His Majesty came down to reprimand me, and this Marquis was also reprimanded by His Highness. So, doctor, please don't embarrass me anymore."

Kong Lenan pondered for a while and said: "Then can I ask the Marquis of Fengcheng to pass it on? If I can't see His Highness, it would be good if I can see the Grand Master Zuo Chunfang."

Li Bin looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Does the doctor really not understand or is he pretending not to understand? Your Majesty is afraid that you will disturb His Highness, so he changed the avant-garde of our army to garrison. Since you can't wait to see His Highness, this Naturally, it is impossible to transmit information.”

Originally, there was still a glimmer of hope, but now the hope is shattered, and Kong Lenan is also very ashamed.

"Marquis Fengcheng really don't think about it anymore, my Kong family..."

"Is your family's face important, or my head?"

Kong Lenan had nothing to say when he said a word, he stood up and said with a long bow: "Excuse me, Kong Mou is leaving."

Li Bin picked up the tea bowl and ordered: "Wu Yunsheng, see off the guests."

Seeing the figure disappear, he showed a hint of sneer.Now you are still holding the Kong family's signboard and swaggering through the market. I don't know that your Kong family will not be able to overcome this difficulty!

Kong Lenan completely lost hope after being coldly received in the vanguard of the government army, but he did not give up.He obviously couldn't see it, but he didn't believe that he couldn't see it behind his back.

Even a prisoner still has time to visit the prison, let alone a prince.

Now that His Royal Highness is under house arrest, doesn't he want to change everything?

It was also his luck that when he returned from the hot spring courtyard, he happened to be transporting a batch of live pigs and sheep to the palace.

The leading eunuch was Li Chun, a long follower he had met, and had discussed the scriptures with him.

When meeting Li Chun, Kong Lenan saw an opportunity, he quickly stopped the carriage, and shouted: "Li Changsui... take a step to speak."

Although Li Chun is not young, but because he is obsessed with scriptures and is not good at socializing, he was promoted to long-term follower by virtue of his qualifications when he was nearly half a hundred years old.

Seeing Kong Lenan, he was also very excited, and he took the lead in saluting: "I have seen the doctor... Is this just coming back from another hospital?"

Kong Lenan returned the salute and sighed: "It's a pity that His Highness is under house arrest, so I don't have the chance to see you."

Li Chun was surprised: "When did it happen, how come I don't know?"

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, Kong Lenan was also surprised, and told the story of how he was treated coldly when he went to the other courtyard.

When he heard that the doctor of the saint family was not even allowed to enter, he was even more angry than Kong Lenan. "This is a misinterpretation of the imperial decree by the army's vanguard. Why don't I know about it? Let's go. I'm going to ask the Marquis of Fengcheng, who gave him the courage to prevent His Highness from seeing guests..."

Kong Lenan was shocked and covered his mouth. "Keep your voice down..."

No wonder he spent most of his life as a foreign affairs officer, so stupid, he is really old enough to live like a dog.He asked softly: "Since your Highness has been in the other courtyard, has he ever come out?"

At this moment, Li Chun's face changed, but he said suspiciously: "Your Highness has a foot problem, but he has never come out. Even if we go in, we have to get a ticket now."

Kong Lenan sighed, "What's the difference between this and house arrest? Li Changsui, it's hard for me to get close to His Highness, so I would like to ask you for a favor today."

Although Li Chun was a little innocent, he was not stupid, and soon realized that something was wrong.

In the past half a month, the control of the other courtyard has become more and more strict. At first, he didn't think that His Highness was under house arrest, thinking that the army's vanguard was too harsh, but now it seems that he is a little bit behind the scenes.

But he is familiar with Kong Lenan, so he is embarrassed to change his tone now.He could only say: "It is not acceptable to bring a letter. If you have something to say, I can bring it to His Highness for you."

In his opinion, now that His Majesty is going to sea, and the prince and grandson are father and son, it is just a message, and there is no serious problem.

Kong Lenan waited for his words, immediately took off the jade que and stuffed it into his hand. "Now the two families of my Kong family are going to be assigned to Beihai. It's freezing there, and the crops don't even grow. How can I survive? I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can make things right with His Highness the Grandson and forgive them."

Hearing that it was such a simple matter, he stroked the warm jade in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, it's up to me."

However, he didn't notice that an inconspicuous servant found a Jin Yiwei who was accompanying the team, whispered a few words, and that Jin Yiwei said a few words to the Baihu who led the team, turned around and hurried to the capital .

Let's say that Li Chun returned to the other courtyard, went to the imperial kitchen to hand in an errand, and found an opportunity to enter the inner courtyard.

The hot spring courtyard is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Because of the concubines, the guards never guarded the courtyard.

Because there are so many springs, many servants and palace maids will take advantage of their free errands to soak in the hot springs for a while.So Li Chun's actions did not attract the attention of others.

However, Zhu Gaochi was painting on the mountain behind the hot spring this afternoon, so no one would disturb him, so he, the chief foreign affairs officer, had no chance to get close to Zhu Gaochi.

He soaked in the hot spring beautifully for a while, and wanted to wait for Zhu Gaochi to finish painting and go down the mountain, but when he just got out of the water and put on his clothes, he saw He Chun brought two strong servants into this special room for eunuchs Spa pool.

Seeing him, He Chun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take him down!"

Two strong eunuchs rushed up immediately, pushed him to the ground, tied his arms behind his back, and tied him up with hemp rope.
