The Royal Hunt, another grand royal event that distinguishes it from offering sacrifices to the heavens, gathered a huge budget, manpower and material resources of the whole country. On that day, the royal convoy had a strength of 12 troops, and Jin Mingzuo even came to pay tribute to the big beams. The rare and exotic animals are also displayed for the common people in the capital to watch.

This time the trip not only used a huge amount of expenditure, but also mobilized officials of all sizes in the capital to follow along. The generals who returned to the court together led the troops in their hands and followed behind the brigade.

Holding the horse's belly, Helian Mingzhu drove the horse to Fu Bai's side, and asked, "I heard you are the Goddess of War in Anqing Kingdom?"

Fu Bai wondered why this Princess Liang came to strike up a conversation with him for no reason, and he was wary in his heart: "I don't dare to be that."

Helian Mingzhu looked at the people surrounded on both sides of the convoy and said, inexplicably sighed: "It seems that the emperor of Anqing has other goals for this hunting."

Fu Bai still didn't dare to let go of his guard, and replied lightly: "There will be one or two huntings every year, and this time it's no surprise."

"Does it happen once or twice a year?" Helian Mingzhu murmured, then smiled, and said to Fu Bai, "I hope to compete with you someday. I wonder if General Fu will show respect?"

"Accompany me at any time." Fu Bai's reaction was still neither salty nor weak.

Helian Mingzhu drove the horse to the side, walked to the same place with Song He and said leisurely, "Do you know what the royal hunting has been for since ancient times?"

Song He noticed the prosperity of the capital, and replied: "I don't know what the purpose is, I only know that the state capital we passed here from the west is either impoverished and robbers are rampant, or the government oppresses the common people, but the capital is peaceful. With such contradictions, what kind of chaos is there inside Anqing."

"Hehe..." Helian Mingzhu laughed approvingly, "It seems that you are not the kind of simple-minded person. What we have seen along the way has indeed proved the chaos in Anqing. This hunting is also an activity of the Anqing Kingdom. The emperor wanted to show me how prosperous Anqing is, but now it seems very funny, don’t you think?”

Song He sighed: "Whether it's funny or not, it's the common people who suffer. Anqing's political corruption has caused the people to live in dire straits, and then they have to accept the crusade against Daliang, which makes innocent people involved in the war. These days , when will it be a head?"

"That's not easy. Only when Daliang unifies the world can all wars be ended." Helian Mingzhu put away that meaningless smile and replied very seriously.

Song He didn't say anything more. As a big country, Anqing couldn't even rule its own territory well. If Daliang unified the world in the future, the territory would be hundreds of times the current Anqing territory. It can really be well managed While taking care of other countries?

Jin Yuchen was also riding a horse, with Pei Yuanjin at his side. They saw Helian Mingzhu and Fu Bai's actions, and Jin Yuchen breathed out: "It seems that this battle must be fought."

"This is a foregone conclusion. What we have to do now is how to deal with the muddy water they will stir up before they leave. For them, the more chaos inside Anqing, the better. We must find a way to stabilize the current situation. At this time Don't think about bringing down other princes, the country is almost gone."

"However, my father is always in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed." Jin Yuchen sighed and shook his head, "We have to think about such a tiring job, and we are forced by the situation. My father is suspicious now, look Everyone wants to snatch his throne, and it is thankless to act under his nose, and he is hostile. The forces I have won in Suzhou have to be exposed now. What will I do in the future..."

Pei Yuanjin patted the horse's head and said softly, "But if you don't do this, then just wait until you become a subjugated slave."

"I have already sent someone to send a letter to Suzhou. I have copied all the names of the high officials behind the Nanfengguan incident. I want to see how many ministers are available in the capital."

Pei Yuanjin thought for a long time, but finally said nothing.

Fu Shiguo should follow Jin Xuefan by his side, the people who came from the beam were not kind, and everyone knew how Anqing's current situation was, so they tried to force themselves to calm down while feeling uneasy, and they must not lose their composure.Anyway, he is a veteran who has experienced ups and downs, and he still has some courage.

"Ordinary hunting only needs to stay for two or three days before going back, but this trip, the backup carriage has a lot of tents, it seems that I have made preparations for hunting for a long time. With such a huge formation, every move is ordered Considering the huge consumption of materials, he also deliberately brought the rare and exotic beasts that Da Liang came to pay tribute to. He probably wanted to use this hunting to see those ministers in the court, and how many of them were facing him. And find out, and then consolidate your position again." Jin Xuefan narrowed his eyes, "Who are the generals accompanying us this time?"

"There are twelve generals staying in the capital on standby, and nine of them are from our side, and each has some troops under them." Fu Shiguo replied, "But this time, the Ninth Prince should not think about other things. Whatever you do, you must put Anqing first, the purpose of that princess's visit, the old minister feels..."

"You let me expose the power and ambitions that I have worked so hard to hide for so long? And then become a thorn in my father's side?" Jin Xuefan's eyes flashed sharply, "My second brother and fourth brother are not easy-going. Deng, why don't you wait for them to act first? That way I can see what my two elder brothers are hiding in private."

What else did Fu Shiguo want to say, what if the ninth prince is not the only one who thinks this way?What time is it, and you still care about your petty gains, even if it is exposed now, so what?Now that the strength of the three parties is comparable, even if it is exposed, the emperor will not openly deal with him, but if Daliang took advantage of the loophole this time, what should I do?

That's all, let's take a step and see.

After a while, they arrived at the paddock, and the soldiers found a place to set up camp, and the hunt will officially start tomorrow. Jin Yuchen wanted to find Shen Qingbie, but was stopped by Song He under Helian Mingzhu, saying that the other party wanted to see him.

Thinking about Helian Mingzhu's intentions, after entering the other party's tent, he found that Helian Mingzhu had set up the chessboard and was sitting on the side waiting for him. When he turned around again, Song He had disappeared.

"I lost the game that day. After I went back, I thought about the game record and thought about playing against you again. I wonder if the fourth prince would like to reward you?" Helian Mingzhu turned her head to face him, smiling modestly.

Jin Yuchen stood still: "It's fine, it's fine, it's just that we are lonely, and it's getting dark again, so it's really not right."

"It seems that Anqing really looks down on me, Daliang," Helian Mingzhu complained, "We are so informal in Daliang. In our Daliang's eyes, this is called true temperament. Unexpectedly, in your Anqing's eyes, it becomes shame. My princess is shameless."

Jin Yuchen frowned, and stopped standing still, and moved to sit opposite to Helian Pearl: "I didn't mean that, I was just afraid that talkative people would talk nonsense when they saw it, and pollute the princess. Festival."

Helian Mingzhu immediately put away the grievance just now, and a smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "I don't mind, what do you mind?"

"I'm afraid that others will gossip about you. It's not good for a princess and a woman." Jin Yuchen dealt with it absent-mindedly, but he was thinking about Song He's movements. Get out and sneak into his tent when it gets dark.

Helian Mingzhu smiled and picked up the teapot at the side, poured a cup of tea into a cup and said, "This is the special tea from my side of Daliang. Let the Fourth Prince have a taste today." Since it is time to delay, of course it is The longer the better, these four princes are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface.

Jin Yuchen looked at the bottom of the cup, then stretched out his hand to catch it, drank it down, immediately wrinkled his face, and squeezed out a little tear hanging from the corner of his eye: "This tea...why is it so sour..."

"Hahaha..." Helian Mingzhu laughed happily, "I forgot to tell the Fourth Prince that this tea is made from the juice of hawthorn fruit. It is a bit sour, but it is good for the body."

Jin Yuchen still felt a sour taste in his mouth, and his frown still couldn't be relaxed: "I would like to thank the princess for her kindness first, but I really... don't like such a sour taste... I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing his forbearance, Helian Mingzhu didn't forget to reply to herself telling herself not to care about his rude behavior, it's really a bit...cute?

"It seems that today's chess game is impossible." Helian Mingzhu said coldly.

Jin Yuchen covered his mouth: "Why?"

"Because I want to chat with you, the fourth prince, more than playing chess."

Jin Yuchen couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking. Was the so-called chat in her mouth the "chat" in her imagination?

"What does the princess want to talk to me about? I must know everything and talk endlessly." Jin Yuchen adjusted his expression and put on an appearance of actively listening.

Helian Mingzhu had a smile on her lips: "I want to know what Liang looks like in the eyes of the Fourth Prince."

"Da Liang..." Jin Yuchen pondered in his mind, "I've only heard about it, and I haven't actually visited Daliang. I only know that Daliang is in extremely cold weather all year round, so I don't know anything about it."

"Just these?"

"Of course, there is also the informality of Daliang's folk customs that you just mentioned, princess, that's all." What more can you say?

Helian Mingzhu didn't care about his concealment at all, and heard the sound of stones falling outside the tent, she said: "Then I will invite the Fourth Prince to Daliang for a visit some other day. Treat the fourth prince well, how do you think?"

Jin Yuchen nodded: "Is there anything bad to say?"

"That's a deal, the fourth prince should not break his promise."

Jin Yuchen always felt that this Helian Pearl's smile was very weird, and the noise outside the tent just now proved that her goal had been achieved. He really couldn't think of why this Helian Pearl would point the finger at him, not just him, the prince. Seems like a secret, right?

After hesitating for a while, Jin Yuchen replied: "If there is a chance, I will definitely visit Daliang."
