Rebirth of the Son Raiders

The birthday of the eldest son of the emperor was celebrated in Nanling this year, and Li Jingcheng didn't even return to Prince Yu's mansion.

In fact, apart from the few years with Lin Yanhong, Li Jingcheng spent his birthdays in Wushan and Prince Yu's Mansion, but now there is no father and mother, no Jingxi, and no Lin Yanhong... For Li Jingcheng, it is an empty city.

Therefore, there seems to be no essential difference between spending birthdays in Prince Yu's Mansion and spending them in Nanling.

Maybe on the battlefield, he can temporarily concentrate on killing demons, and don't let the complex mixed emotions of longing, worry and hope fill his mind for a while, so that he can wake up for a while.

Especially when he received a letter from his mother, Wulan Tuya, and learned that Master Wujue took Lin Yanhong to retreat without seeing anyone, and planned to sort out the power of the soul for him, Li Jingcheng's sense of tension reached an unprecedented height.

Li Jingcheng has also experienced this feeling many times in the past years, but every time Lin Yanhong can turn the bad luck into good fortune quickly, so it doesn't last long.

However, this time, for several months or even half a year, I did not see Lin Yanhong, nor did I get any specific news. Just by imagining, one can know how difficult these days will be for those who care about Lin Yanhong .

The guards around Li Jingcheng could sense a slight difference in His Highness's stern face as usual, but they couldn't describe the difference in words.

They only knew that even though he was already the eldest son of the emperor, His Highness did not feel very happy about it.

Some of the hidden guards who had stayed with Li Jingcheng in Yunyang City and Yuntong City knew that His Highness had been with Lin Changshi since childhood, and roughly knew the relationship between the two, so they knew why His Highness became more and more silent.

Lin Changshi's condition kept recurring, and the imperial doctor Hepingwu couldn't find the reason, so he was helpless for a while.

The eminent monk of Huayin Temple, Master Wujue, who once raised His Highness, has taken Lin Changshi back to the capital, trying to save his life, but it is still unknown what happened.

Just after His Highness's birthday, a secret letter came from Beijing. Although the shadow guards couldn't see the content, they all felt that it must be related to Lin Changshi's illness.

In the early winter of this year, Nanling was covered with heavy snow early as usual, no different from previous years, but for some reason it seemed extraordinarily cold.

Because of the birthday of the eldest son of the emperor, many people in the Pingyang Governor's Mansion and Pingwu's aristocratic family were discussing in private.

Among the five surname families Qiao, He, Xigong, Donggong, and Chen in Pingwu and Hanyang, except for the Qiao family and Lingdong Gong, the other three surnames are all "close" to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Among them, the Lingxi Gong where Gong Mengchang lived, and the Chen family where Chen Xin lived had the best relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion and Dudu Mansion.

Gong Mengchang led the collateral branch of the Gong family to break away from the main family and set up their own family, which was tantamount to a complete break with Lingdong Gong. Wu stood still.

The rest is nothing more than taking advantage of the current advantages, spending decades or hundreds of years to reproduce and grow stronger.

"My lord, Master Changshi has been away from Pingwu for a while, and the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court is about to arrive at the county mansion. What should we do?"

Originally thought that although Lin Changshi's illness had been repeated, it would be the same as in the past, and it would soon be extremely peaceful. Who knew that he could not afford to be sick like this, and it was so serious that he had to go to Beijing to see a doctor.

Seeing this, Lingdong Gong, who was originally suppressed, became unhappy?

Everyone knows that a large part of the reason why Gong Mengchang can get the support of the court is because of Lin Changshi - Lin Changshi is the link between the Chen family, Xigong, He family, Jingzhong and Prince Yu's mansion.

Now this link is about to be broken, Xigong, who has finally risen, and the Chen family, who came from behind, are in great trouble. If the He family is shaken because of this, the pattern between the Pingwu and Hanyang families will definitely be broken. , recalculate.

Once Lin Changshi is lost, it is still unknown whether His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, who has always been indifferent to the family, will continue to support Lingxi Gong.

Gong Mengchang was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said, "What should I do, what should I do."

"But my lord, we..."

"It's not time yet, so don't mess yourself up," Gong Mengchang waved his hand, interrupting his subordinates: "Although Lin Changshi went to Tianjing, look, how did he get there?"

In fact, Master Wujue used the Demon Suppressing Army to escort Lin Yanhong to Tianjing, but to the outside world, it was announced that the officials felt sorry for Lin Changshi at a young age and suffered losses due to long-term exhaustion, so he temporarily put down the Pingyang Governor's Mansion Various affairs, and specially sent people to take Lin Changshi back to Beijing to recuperate. When he recovers, it will be decided whether to stay in Beijing or return to the Pingyang Dudu Mansion.

Being able to receive such an honor actually proved that Lin Changshi was not only valued by the first emperor, but also favored by the new emperor.

Although Lin Changshi was a young official supported by the late emperor, when he really showed his talents, it was in the northern border.

After experiencing a series of natural disasters and man-made disasters together with Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Changshi seems to have become the new emperor's confidant. Fighting side by side with the eldest son of the emperor in Xichang and Qudu made him establish an unexpected relationship with the cold prince. relation".

As long as he can take care of himself in Beijing this time, he doesn't have to worry about his future at all.

The subordinate thought about it, and although he felt that whether Lin Changshi's illness would recover was an open question, he also understood what Gong Mengchang meant.

"The official sent by the imperial court is Mr. Wang. He is familiar with the affairs of the northern border, and when he came to Pingwu, he seemed to be in harmony with Lin Changshi's political views. The Wang family had encountered a catastrophe before. He will easily go against His Majesty's will, and shouldn't embarrass those of us who are old with Lin Changshi."

Speaking of the Wang family, it reminded Gong Mengchang of a rumor.

Although Wang Xiang is the minister of Gu Ming, he was seriously ill in prison and will be recuperated for a period of time. Due to his advanced age, his recovery is very slow, and now he is completely unable to go to court.

The entire Wang family was imprisoned by the former second prince, and they have not yet fully recovered.

Everyone in the world knows that the royal family of Anshun has been honored and favored for three dynasties, but the prime minister is old, so it is unknown how long this honor will last.

Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for half a year, seeing that the first year of reform is getting closer, some things have already been remembered by caring people.

Compared with the former emperor's harem, the new emperor's harem now only has one empress and one side concubine who has not yet been conferred the rank of imperial concubine. It looks extremely thin. If there is a draft next year, how many opportunities there will be, because of His Majesty's preference, no one knows. , so it is not certain.

But what everyone can be sure of is that the eldest son of the emperor will be crowned by this time next year.

Although there is a certain gap in the marriage age of the children of the royal family due to different circumstances, some are very early, and some are very late, but no matter how late, they should have been carefully considered when they reach the crown, especially for a noble royal family like the eldest son .

In other words, it is hard to say whether there will be a draft in the palace, or how many beautiful girls His Majesty will choose to enter the palace, but the marriage of the eldest son of the emperor is a "certainty".

It's just that there has been no movement in the palace for a long time, and no news has come out. While it is confusing, it is also a little bit impossible to do.

"There are no women of the right age in the Anshun Wang family's direct line. Otherwise, through the draft or the marriage of the eldest son of the emperor, we can do some work."

Gong Mengchang thought this way, and had some other thoughts in his mind.

When King Yu was still fiefdom, the families of Pingwu and Hanyang tried to send people to Prince Yu's mansion, but naturally they all failed in the end.

After the eldest son of the emperor returned to the border from Beijing, he has been by King Yu's side all the time, and the aristocratic family wanted to work hard on this highness, but it was a bit difficult.

But today is different from the past, now there is only the eldest son of the emperor in Pingwu!

It's not that Gong Mengchang didn't have any ideas, but he quickly denied himself.

When he was by Lin Yanhong's side, he was quite influenced by this long history lord. His original ambition was still there, but his behavior had changed greatly.

Because of Lin Changshi, he and the eldest son of the emperor, Li Jingcheng, also had a little bit of intersection. Although he couldn't fully guess what this highness liked, at least he knew that this highness was more difficult to please than his father.

In Gong Mengchang's impression, only Lin Changshi's words have an effect on His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, but His Highness will give more consideration to what Lin Changshi said, which shows that he attaches great importance to Lin Changshi - this person who was born and died. Intimacy and tacit understanding are not ordinary feelings.

Now Lin Changshi fell ill due to heavy affairs in the northern border, and was taken to Beijing to recuperate. The eldest son of the emperor stayed in Nanling during this period and did not go to the palace, which shows that he values ​​the stability of the northern border more.

If Gong Mengchang still thinks about such things at this time, I am afraid that not only will he not please the eldest son of the emperor, but he will easily anger the other party.

At that time, if there is no relationship with the eldest son of the emperor, and Lin Changshi does not come forward to ease the situation, if he offends the other party, then the loss outweighs the gain.

After a while, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, finally returned to the Dudu's Mansion, and what happened afterwards made Gong Mengchang very grateful that he was sober-minded and did not make a wrong decision.

As the New Year's Eve is approaching, New Year's gifts from various places will be sent to the original Prince Yu's Mansion and the current Prince's Mansion.

The annual presents from Qiao's family and Lingdong Gong were extraordinarily "rich", and as a result, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, was furious. let it go.

Although the long history of the prince's mansion later said that the New Year is approaching, people who were released for charitable deeds, but everyone knows what is going on.

……

No matter how the outside world guessed that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor completely hated the Qiao family and Lingdong Gong this time, Li Jingcheng stayed in the mansion for a few days.

He didn't return to Nanling until a decree came from Beijing to change the year name.

The huge palace has passed the most deserted New Year's Eve since its establishment.

During the Shangyuan Festival, Li Jingcheng spent among the officials in Qudu.

He hung up the palace lantern that Lin Yanhong had painted for himself.

In fact, there were a few in the early years, but they all stayed in Yunshui County and Jingzhong. Now this is the simplest one.

It painted the mighty and domineering appearance of an adult silver wolf, so that people can tell at a glance how much the person who drew this picture loves that silver wolf.

The lake-like eyes of giant beasts looked over, and there seemed to be a figure hiding inside, extremely focused.
