Two days later.

Kyoto.

A group of people walked from far to near, slowly entering the north gate, majestic.

The commander of the Jinyi Guards and more than a dozen guards were waiting at the city gate. Looking at the team slowly entering the city gate, he straightened his clothes and forced a smile on his face.

"Who's blocking the way?!"

Seeing someone blocking the way, a middle-aged man on horseback looked at Jiang Yu coldly and asked in a deep voice.

It is none other than the commander of the royal guards of the Qin Palace, Pang Song!

"Jiang Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is here to welcome His Highness King Qin into the palace!"

Jiang Wei glanced at Pang Song, who was scolding him, bowed to the carriage in the middle of the team, and raised his voice.

He was wearing a special uniform given by the commander. The other party could recognize it at a glance, but he actually shouted directly and asked, which was obviously intentional.

When he heard Jiang Wei announcing his home, Pang Song showed no emotion, got off his horse, walked quickly to the side of the carriage and said something inside.

Jiang Wei stood there, observing the movement in the carriage, with a solemn look in his eyes.

It can be seen from the attitude of one of the other party's personal guards towards him that when the Jin Yiwei came to Xi'an Mansion for a secret investigation, Qin King Zhu Ping was already extremely dissatisfied with him.

Soon, Pang Song returned from the carriage and came directly to Jiang Wei.

"His Royal Highness King Qin orders you to come forward and answer."

Pang Song looked at Jiang Yu with an indifferent expression and said in a deep voice.

Jiang Wei clenched his fist secretly, smiled at Pang Song, nodded, and walked straight to the carriage.

"Only let him pass!"

The two guards wanted to follow Jiang Yu, but Pang Song directly stopped him with his hand.

Seeing Pang Song's strong look on his face, the surrounding guards were a little dissatisfied and took a step forward in unison.

"Stay where you are!"

Jiang Wei was a little nervous when he saw it. He hurriedly gave an order in a deep voice, winked, then squeezed out a smile again and walked quickly towards the carriage.

In the entire city of Kyoto, few people dared to look down upon him. Unexpectedly, he was provoked by one of King Qin's guards today, which made Jiang Wei feel very unhappy.

"Jiang Ying, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who holds a humble position, is here to see His Highness the King of Qin."

After arriving at the carriage, Jiang Wei bowed respectfully to the carriage and spoke slowly.

But after the words fell, there was no movement in the carriage for a long time.

Jiang Wei frowned in confusion, turned around and glanced at Pang Song, who was confronting his men behind him, hesitated, and spoke again.

"Jiang, the humble commander of the Royal Guards..."

Before the words could be finished, the curtains of the carriage suddenly opened slowly, revealing a cold face with a hint of murderous intent.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

When Jiang Wei saw him, he hurriedly lowered his body a little lower, showing great respect.

The person who showed up was none other than Qin King Zhu Ping!

Jiang Wei is very familiar with that face with a fierce look even on the eyebrows!

"Commander Chiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Zhu Xi took a look at Jiang Yu and said calmly, without any expression on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, King of Qin. I am flattered by my humble position. I wonder if Your Highness is okay?"

Jiang Wei smiled and said respectfully.

From the beginning to the end, he bowed and saluted without daring to show any signs of neglect.

"How can I live a good life when a bunch of cats and dogs are checking me behind my back? Commander Jiang, please worry."

Zhu Ming snorted coldly and said slowly, the dissatisfaction in his words clearly discernible.

"I hope His Highness the King of Qin will forgive me!"

"Everything I do in my humble position is in compliance with the Holy Will. I can't help myself. I hope Your Highness will be considerate."

Jiang Wei felt nervous and hurriedly explained.

"Use your father to pressure me?!"

When Zhu Xi heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked coldly.

"I dare not to be humble!"

Jiang Wei hurriedly shook his head and lowered his body a little further, almost kneeling on the ground.

"Although I am not in Kyoto, I have long heard of the reputation of Commander Chiang. I heard that in the past two years in Kyoto, you have almost covered the sky with one hand."

"Don't think that I don't know what you have done. If there is too much blood on your hands, it is not a good thing. Some innocent souls will come back to claim their lives."

Zhu Xi curled his lips and said with something in mind.

"I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty. Everything I do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces! Why fear ghosts and gods!"

Jiang Wei cupped his hands and said decisively, his face full of determination.

"I hope they all deserve what they deserve!"

"Okay, let's lead the way. Don't keep father waiting."

Zhu Xi sneered and lowered the curtains as he spoke. From beginning to end, he had a condescending attitude.

"Yes!"

Jiang Wei immediately agreed respectfully and ordered the guards he led to immediately clear the way in front.

But he was murmuring in his heart, if the wronged soul seeks his life, I'm afraid you will be the first to suffer! Have not many innocent people died at your hands over the years? !

Among the kings of the dynasty, he was more afraid of the King of Qin than the King of Yan, because the King of Qin was famous for being ruthless and ruthless. Once he fell into his hands, the best outcome would be to die with no body intact.

Immediately afterwards, the large group of people rushed towards the direction of the palace.

"Sir, who was the person who disrespected you just now?! How dare you ignore you in public!"

"Should brothers find an opportunity to teach him a lesson?!"

On the way, one of his subordinates approached Jiang Yu and asked in a low voice. As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Pang Song, who was riding a horse not far behind him.

"The personal guard of King Qin is also the commander of the personal guards of King Qin's palace!"

"Don't mess around! He is a mad dog just like his master! I will not have a grudge against the King of Qin unless absolutely necessary!"

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and said sadly.

Thinking of the situation when Pang Song scolded him just now, he couldn't help but tightly hold the Xiuchundao in his hand.

How could he feel so happy being called here and there by a guard!

But the situation is unclear at the moment, so we can only swallow our anger.

...

Prince Yan's Mansion.

"His Majesty has spoken and summoned King Yan to the palace immediately for an audience."

Wang Defa, the chief eunuch, stood in the main hall, bowed his hands to the King of Yan, Zhu Di, in front of him, then raised his head, raised his chest, and spoke with a louder voice.

"My son obeys the order!"

Zhu Di bowed respectfully and said.

"Your Highness King Yan, if this is the case, then please follow me into the palace. Your Majesty is still waiting."

After pronouncing the oral instructions, Wang Defa hurriedly bowed and said with a flattering face.

"May I ask, Eunuch Wang, whether the second emperor brother has entered the palace?"

Zhu Di nodded and asked tentatively.

"I guess it's almost here. The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu, went to the north gate to greet him in person. I guess he has already entered the palace gate?"

Wang Defa replied with a smile.

"Then I wonder how my father is feeling today?"

Zhu Di continued to ask.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. How dare I speak ill of Your Majesty?"

"But when I leave the palace, your majesty will be fine."

Wang De was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Thank you."

Zhu Di smiled and said nothing more. Accompanied by Wang Defa, he left Prince Yan's Mansion and went straight to the palace.

...

Splendid Palace.

"Your Highness, I just received news that King Qin and King Yan have entered the palace one after another."

Li Jinglong bowed his hands and said slowly to Zhu Yunwen.

"understood."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said thoughtfully.

As the King of Qin entered the capital, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty began to sit back and watch, waiting for how this confrontation would end.

Of course, this includes Zhu Yunwen himself. In his eyes, regardless of whether he really desires the position of crown prince, these two uncles are the people who pose the greatest threat to him.

Regardless of whether he can be established as the grandson in the end, from the moment the emperor decided to appoint him, he had already become the common enemy of the two uncles!

"Your Highness, in your opinion, what will be the outcome in Minghe Hall today?"

"Is there really some kind of relationship between King Qin and Liu Sanwu?"

Huang Zicheng, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked cautiously.

"No unreasonable discussion before the results come out!"

"Some things, the more you talk about them, the more mistakes you make! Mind your own business! Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned, glanced at Huang Zicheng, and said in a deep voice.

Although he was the choice of the crown prince in the eyes of many people, he knew in his heart that there were still many people secretly supporting King Qin and King Yan. This was more like a mediation between the three parties.

But that was in the past, and now Zhu Yunxi, his younger brother who he has treated as a compatriot from his own mother since childhood, seems to have also become his competitor.

"Your Highness, there are some things that you should take precautions for. After all, in the fight for the crown prince, these two pose the greatest threat to you!"

"In my humble opinion, it's better to prepare early."

Huang Zicheng hesitated and reminded patiently.

Hearing what Huang Zicheng said, Zhu Yunwen frowned and immediately darkened his face...
