Seeing how majestic his eldest brother was riding a horse, Baozi's eyes were full of longing.

Huo Feng saw it, and asked, "Does Baozi want to ride a horse?"

Baozi looked at his father, he wanted to ride.

Huo Feng stopped the carriage, went out with Baozi in his arms, and said, "Father will take you to ride a horse."

When Douzi heard it, he naturally wanted to go too, and the Yizhong people resigned to their fate and got out of the carriage.

"Jiang Ren, you bring the beans, I'll bring the buns." He said something so natural that he couldn't be more natural, Huo Feng asked someone to bring a horse over, and got on the horse with the buns in his arms.

Yi Zhongren was stunned for a moment.

"Daddy." Douzi shook his father's hand, he also wanted to ride a horse.

Yi Zhongren came back to his senses, at this time someone brought a horse over, and he silently carried Dou Zi on the horse.

"Chongren, let's take the child to the front and turn back."

Huo Feng seemed in a good mood, regardless of whether Yi Zhongren agreed or not, he twitched his horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped forward quickly, and Baozi's laughter sounded.

"Daddy, let's go after Baozi and father." Douzi couldn't wait.

Yi Zhongren swung his whip, and a man in front of him turned his head to signal him to follow up, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Zhongren, hurry up, I'm going to turn around."

The Yizhong man rode his horse and chased after him, Douzi and Baozi's laughter resounded.

Yi Zhongren's heart beat a few times faster than usual.In memory, this seemed to be the first time the man called his name.He couldn't help frowning, he didn't like this feeling, very, very much.

Zhang Huaiqiu, who was behind them, also frowned, looking thoughtful.He naturally heard the "respecting people" that the King of Yue just said clearly, and what made him even more uncertain was that the King Yue's self-proclaimed just now was "I", not "this king".Zhang Huaiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at King Yue with a little more scrutiny.

"Huaiqiu, what are you worried about?" Ruan Xingtian asked.Because of Huo Feng's attitude towards Yi Zhongren, Zhang Huaiqiu has also criticized Ruan Xingtian these days, and his attitude is naturally not good. Ruan Xingtian is very helpless about this.

Zhang Huaiqiu lowered his voice and said with some threats: "I value people, they are siblings, relatives, and best friends. I will not let anyone hurt him, including the prince."

Ruan Xingtian suppressed his displeasure: "Do you think the prince will hurt the people of Yizhong? You have been by the prince's side for so many years, don't you believe in the prince's character?"

Zhang Huaiqiu looked at Ruan Xingtian: "Then tell me, after returning to the capital, how does the prince plan to arrange the important person?"

Ruan Xingtian was dumbfounded. It is impossible for Yi Zhongren to be a minister, but he should return to the palace to be a eunuch?Thinking of Yi Zhongren's eyes, Ruan Xingtian didn't think the other party would be willing.Then, how does the lord plan to arrange Yi Zhongren?Ruan Xingtian was questioned.

"If the prince wants to respect someone before going back to be an eunuch, I will take the respected person away." Throwing a cruel sentence, Zhang Huaiqiu was very dissatisfied with King Yue, and even dissatisfied with Ruan Xingtian.

Riding his horse to leave, Zhang Huaiqiu obviously cast his dissatisfaction with the King of Yue on Ruan Xingtian.Ruan Xingtian smiled wryly, this is really an innocent disaster.

Naturally, Huo Feng's movements cannot be concealed, and he has no intention of covering them up. The more people know where he is, the safer they will be.

All the cities and towns along the way had made preparations early in the morning. Huo Feng hadn't ascended the throne yet, but to the people of Southern Chu, he seemed to be the new king of Southern Chu, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect.Every time he arrived in a city, Huo Feng ordered large troops to station outside the city, and he led others into the city.

At the beginning, the two children were very confused about why "Daddy" was still called their father, but gradually, their young hearts also had a little understanding-the father is a stronger father than their father, because those who came to pick them up treated their father very well. They are all very respectful, and they will kneel down to their father.

But what they don't understand is, why are so many people afraid of Daddy?Children are sometimes the most sensitive. Those who know that the man next to King Yue is from Yizhong are all trembling with fear. This shows the residual prestige of Lord Qianhu of Shanghai Anwei.

For Yi Zhongren, whether Huo Feng's inability to see through or those people's fear, he took it calmly.The only thing he worried about was that the two children had to travel for such a long time for the first time, and he was afraid that they would not be able to bear it, but so far, it seems that the two children's adaptability is not bad.And after the initial discomfort, Yi Zhongren became numb to Huo Feng's "heavy man" from time to time.

There are old people and children in the team, so the speed of marching will naturally not be too fast.Just stop and go like this, two months later, the city wall of the capital appeared in front of everyone.

Yi Zhongren's mood was complicated. He once thought that he would never come back.

"Baozi, Douzi, we're home."

Huo Feng looked very excited.Of course he was excited, and when he returned to the capital, he had the final say on some matters, and even someone with wings could not escape.

"Daddy, is this the capital city?"

"Daddy, the walls of the capital city are so high."

"Daddy..."

The two children know how good the capital is from their father, and they can't wait to see what the capital is like.

Outside the city gate, the ministers who knew in advance that the king of Yue was coming back had already been waiting there for a long time, and the leader was the old prime minister Zhang Deyuan.

After Huo Feng captured the capital, he handed over all the aftermath to his subordinates. He took Ruan Xingtian and Zhang Huaiqiu to Yucheng Pass to "arrest people".

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is the time when the new dynasty is first established. The safe return of the king of Yue made all the ministers who were waiting anxiously breathe a sigh of relief.However, when they thought that there was still one person returning from King Yue, many people's minds were very complicated, and most of them were puzzled.

If the prince wants to repay his kindness, all he needs to do is issue an imperial decree, so why do he have to make a trip in person?Many people think that the prince's visit is not for Yizhong, but for the two children. Thinking of this, they can understand.

Huo Feng was not sitting in the carriage, he was riding a horse with Baozi in front of him.Yi Zhongren was also riding on a horse, with Dou Zi in front of him, and Huo Yunkai rode behind his father half a horse behind.

When they came to the gate of the city, Huo Feng got off the horse with the child in his arms, Yi Zhongren also got off the horse, and Huo Yunkai carried the bun over.

Zhang Deyuan and other ministers kowtowed to salute: "Your Majesty welcomes my king, Your Highness—"

"Please get up quickly." Huo Feng supported Zhang Deyuan with both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you, old prime minister."

"The old minister doesn't do much, it's all the grown-ups working together. Your lord, it's time for you to enter the palace."

Enter the palace and become the new owner of the palace.

Huo Feng glanced at Yi Zhongren, got on his horse, and everyone followed his movements to look at Yi Zhongren.Yi Zhongren nodded to Zhang Deyuan, Xie Dan and the others with a normal expression, and silently mounted his horse.

"Enter the palace."

With one order, all the ministers followed the King of Yue into the palace, and a new dynasty was about to come.

※※※

Unexpectedly by many people, and within the expectations of many people, Huo Feng placed Yi Zhongren in the palace, and Baozi and Douzi still lived with him.

After Huo Feng entered the palace, he was so busy that he disappeared. In contrast, the "Ningshen Palace" where Yi Zhongren lived was extremely deserted.

"Ningshen Palace" sounds a bit idyllic far away from the world, but everyone in the palace knows that it is the location of the Leng Palace.The king of Yue arranged the Yizhong people in the cold palace. This move is unavoidable, but the youngest son of the king of Yue also lives here, so everyone can't guess what the prince thinks, oh no, it's the emperor.

On the second day after King Yue came back, the imperial decree came down.Southern Chu Kingdom changed its name to Yue, and its reign name was Kangzheng, which was the first year of Kangzheng, and King Huo Feng of Yue became Emperor Kangzheng.Huo Feng belongs to the royal family of the Southern Chu Kingdom, but the dynasty changed, clearly drawing a clear line with the Southern Chu Kingdom.

One month later, Huo Feng will hold a grand enthronement ceremony at the Southern Chu Palace where he studied scriptures.Immediately afterwards, various laws and regulations were promulgated, including that the servants in the palace were not allowed to put on makeup, and they were not allowed to interfere in politics, and eliminated the abnormal policy of the Southern Chu Kingdom's eunuchs and eunuchs, and put an end to the monopoly of eunuchs.

Along with the promulgation of various laws and regulations, there are also rewards for meritorious ministers.

Huo Feng listened to Zhang Deyuan's suggestion and appointed Ruan Xingtian, He Jia, Huang Han and Xu Baicai as generals. These four were loyal to him, and they were his subordinates who followed him all the way, so they were trustworthy. Generals, generals and lieutenants.

The military power is mainly in the hands of the four generals, and Huo Feng, as the emperor, holds four military symbols of Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger to control the military power of the four generals.The other generals accounted for a total of [-]% of the troops, supervised by four generals.

Huo Feng himself was born as a general, and he led the generals to conquer the world, and he has a very high reputation in the army.It is very unlikely that the four generals will show their self-respect, but they still have to be on guard, after all, it is necessary to consider whether the prince can hold down these generals after his death.Huo Feng was actually not worried, he believed that someone would be more thoughtful than him.

Huo Feng originally wanted to make Zhang Deyuan the prime minister, but was rejected by the other party on the grounds that he was too old. Later, Huo Feng asked Zhang Deyuan to teach Huo Yunkai, but this time Zhang Deyuan did not refuse.

Those old people who were rescued by the Yizhong people all chose to withdraw from the court.Naturally, Huo Feng was reluctant to let them retire and return home like this. After discussing with Tang Nian and the others, Huo Feng appointed Xie Dan as the master of Baozi and Douzi, and the others would either go to teach at the Jingshi Academy or enter the Hanlin Academy.

Unlike the elders, young people like Zhang Huaiqiu and Xie Ming entered the court, and Huo Feng placed them in important positions. The new dynasty was initially established, and it was the time when talents were needed.

Xie Ming was the prime minister, Zhang Huaiqiu was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Jidi was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Tang Nian was the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Everyone who followed Huo Feng all the way got their corresponding rewards, except Yi Zhongren.

The Gazing Palace is in a remote corner in the southeast corner of the palace. Huo Feng sent people to guard outside the Gazing Palace. Yizhong people can come in and out at will, but they are not allowed to leave the palace. Once he leaves the Gazing Palace, the guards will definitely follow him.Huo Feng also sent seven or eight eunuchs to take care of Yizhong and his two children's daily life, and he didn't skimp on food and clothing.

In addition to being a bit remote, the treatment of Yizhong people does not seem to be "neglected", but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be under house arrest.

The Yizhong people ignored the curiosity and speculation around them.

There is a large courtyard in the Gaze Palace. The concubines who were thrown into the cold palace in the past had to grow their own vegetables and food if they didn't want to starve to death. Therefore, the most important thing in the Gaze Palace is land.The people from Yizhong took the steamed stuffed buns and beans, sowed vegetable seeds, planted flowers, set up grape trellises, and even made two swings, just like in the Lin Mansion.

On this day, Zhang Huaiqiu came to find Yi Zhongren, who was sweating just after watering the vegetable field.The Yizhong people waved back and forth, and set up teacups in the pavilion.

"What wind brought Mr. Zhang to my place?" Yi Zhongren teased.

Zhang Huaiqiu's sullen expression directly explained the purpose of coming: "Chongren, if you want to leave, I will take you away immediately." The emperor left Zhongren here and ignored him, and Zhang Huaiqiu, who had been dissatisfied for a long time, was about to explode.

The Yizhong man smiled, and pushed the teacup to Zhang Huaiqiu: "Have a cup of tea to calm down. Don't you think it's nice here? It's quiet, and no one bothers me."

"I asked the emperor what his plan was for you. The emperor said that it was his business with you, and told me not to interfere. Zhongren, you and I have known each other for so many years, and I know you well. If it wasn't for Douzi, you would never have returned to Beijing. I will not enter the palace. As long as you say a word, I will take you and Baozi away immediately."

"Where's Douzi?" Yi Zhongren's voice was a bit colder.He drank tea, looked ahead and said slowly: "I'm not afraid of how the emperor treats me. No matter how ruthless he is, he can't compare with Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu. The reason why I stay here is because of Douzi, I just don't want Baozi." Separate from Dou Zi. As long as Dou Zi calls me Daddy, I will always be his Daddy."

"Huaiqiu, you know, I am a very defensive person. By this time next year, the emperor may have another son, but I will never allow anyone to bully my son. I want you to firmly grasp the Imperial Forest Army and tell Old brother, let him tell the emperor to establish a crown prince as soon as possible, and the identity of Douzi's prince must be determined as soon as possible."

Looking at Yi Zhongren's side face, Zhang Huaiqiu seemed to see the Master Qianhu of Shanghai Anwei who kept everything under control.He raised the corners of his lips and drank the cup of tea that Yizhong people poured for him.How could he forget who this person is?This person is a powerful person who destroyed the entire Southern Chu Kingdom.

"I know what to do." Putting down the empty teacup, Zhang Huaiqiu stood up: "I won't come to you again until the matter is settled."

Yi Zhongren nodded.Now countless pairs of eyes are staring at him in the dark, what he has to do is to stay the same and respond to all changes.Zhang Huaiqiu left, and the people of Yizhong continued to drink tea with the hot wind of Qiuhu.

"Hui Qiu went to find the heavy man?" Huo Feng asked in the imperial study room, unable to hear the emotion.

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yi left after talking for a while." A eunuch stood behind Huo Feng and bowed back.

This man's name is Lu Tao, who used to be the eunuch in charge of the Yue Palace. The Yue Palace was raided, and he and others were imprisoned in the prison. They were originally dead.However, due to the Yizhong people, these people were only exiled and saved their lives.

After Huo Feng raised his troops, Lu Tao led some people to find King Yue with great pains.Lu Tao is considered a loyal person, Huo Feng ordered him to take charge of the palace servants temporarily.

Others envied Lu Tao's rise in popularity, but Lu Tao himself knew that if the emperor ordered him to "temporarily manage", it meant that there was a more suitable candidate than him.Lu Tao immediately thought of the person in the "Lenggong".

The emperor had reminded him more than once to take good care of the person who stared at the palace, and not to let him suffer any grievances. If Lu Tao didn't know how important that person was to the emperor, he wouldn't be Lu Tao.

In the past few years, he knew best how much the emperor missed that person. As for the emperor's thoughts, Lu Tao understood.It's just that Lu Tao is a little uncertain when he thinks about that person's temperament and identity.

Asking Lu Tao to retreat, Huo Feng meditated in the imperial study.After a long time, he got up and left the imperial study room, and went to the Ningshen Palace.
