?The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and the two guards guarding the palace gate were secretly startled. They hurriedly pressed the swords on their waists and watched the direction of the sound of horseshoes warily.

Not long after, a man in gray and white, holding the rein with his left hand and waving a whip with his right, rode over at a very fast speed on a handsome maroon horse.The man pulled the rein hard and strangled the horse's neck, and the horse stopped with a roar.

The man jumped off the horse, and immediately walked towards the palace gate with steady steps.

A guard clenched his sword tightly and stopped the man from entering the palace majesticly: "Who is here?"

The man glanced coldly at the guard, but opened his thin lips and said lightly: "Take good care of the horse for me."

The guards heard his crazy words, and saw his attire, his hair was simply tied up, and he was wearing the same off-white headscarf. As for the clothes, they were made of ordinary materials. This made the guard feel uncomfortable, and felt that he should be taught a lesson.

But when he just wanted to pull out the sword from his waist to stop this unknown person, another guard immediately stopped him, let the person enter the palace smoothly, and pulled him aside to teach him a lesson: "The wind and sand just now It caught your eye, and you didn't pay attention for a while, you almost got into a big disaster, do you know who that is?"

Guard A shook his head of course, so Guard B had no choice but to point to the gold medal hanging on the man's waist. The word "Art" was engraved on the gold medal, and Guard A would immediately notice it.

If you look at this gold medal carefully, there will be a dragon leaping over it. This is only available after the crowning ceremony of each royal child. Said that the person who entered the palace just now was Yong Ting.

Bodyguard A held his breath, and it took him a while to recover. He really almost caused a catastrophe.It is said that the prince in the palace is Yong Ting who is the most difficult to mess with. Back then, two guards didn't know what offended him, and asked him to cut off two fingers respectively, and then killed them and chopped them into meat paste, and fed them to the dogs.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he had only been in office for two days, wouldn't he just lose his life like this?

"You know who he is now?" Guard B glared at him. Of course he knew the rumors about the two guards who died tragically back then. Fortunately, Yong Ting didn't get angry, otherwise he would have been knocked down by this fool. He suppressed his anger and said : "Why don't you take the horse to the stable soon?"

The first guard did not dare to object, walked up to the horse with trembling legs, pulled up its reins and led it away, while chanting: "Mazu, Mazu, just now is a little brazen, don't be offended, Plead for me in front of King Yi, and spare my life..."

After he finished speaking, the horse raised its head and neighed again, which was regarded as a promise to him.

On the other side, Yong Ting went all the way to Dongqin Hall. The eunuchs on the way immediately passed the news to Eunuch Li when they saw Yong Ting was back.And the eunuchs in the palace prepared the grooming supplies and official uniforms, ready to wash up for Yong Ting who had rushed back and was full of dust.

Yong Ting simply washed his face, put on the dark blue official uniform, and asked the maid to comb his hair for him.

At that time, the maid's tender hands were running through his hair, but his attention was on the blue sky outside the window, staring at a white cloud in the middle, as if the person he had been thinking of day and night lived on it, drifting with the white cloud .

——Ming Luo, it's been another year, this year I came back early, and I'll come to see you after I finish my political affairs.

The maidservant combed his jet-black hair for him, and then put on the hair crown.

"My lord, the dining room has brought lunch." The father-in-law of Dongqin Palace said respectfully to his master who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"I will eat when I come back. You should step back first." After Yong Ting ordered him to step down, he stood up from the chair, adjusted his official uniform, stepped out of Dongqin Hall, and walked straight to the court hall, his eyes closed distance.

He was mentally prepared to come back this time, and he also bet his life as a bet. If Huaijun doesn't pull him down from being a general in Zhenyuan today, he will die in Huaijun's life in the future.

——Ming Luo, it has been three years, and you will be 20 years old this year.Originally, Brother Huang was supposed to see you for the coronation ceremony, but I will never be able to see it again. It doesn't matter, you wait for me in the underworld. In the next life, let's make up for all the things we haven't done.

With a sullen face, Yong Ting raised his hand and pushed the palace door open. The noisy voice inside stopped abruptly, and then turned into whispers, talking about Yong Ting's private dispatch of troops.

He didn't care what they thought of this matter, he passed these people and walked directly to Nuo Xu in front, but there was a voice that stopped his footsteps.

"General Zhenyuan can mobilize the Ding'an army with half a tiger talisman today. I am afraid that the tiger talisman will be superfluous to the general in the future, and the Ding'an army will no longer guard the border." A sarcasm made Yong Ting stop, Looking at the person who spoke, the court became extremely quiet, and the ministers didn't even dare to breathe.

The person who spoke was wearing a crimson official uniform, and his official rank was third grade, one level lower than Yong Ting, but he had such courage to ridicule him. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Rin was backed by someone, and his words were the last words of a certain group of people. The fact that fear morphs into.

"Presumptuous!" A deep voice came from behind Yong Ting, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to this voice, and then respectfully called: "His Royal Highness."

Huai Jun looked dissatisfied at the person who spoke so rudely, and said sharply: "How can such rebellious words be said in the court?"

"I am guilty." The man immediately responded tremblingly, thinking that he would be credited for speaking out his heart for Huai Jun, and that he would be credited for frustrating Yong Ting's vigor, but now he was taught by Huai Jun, and he could only be angry in his heart own impulse.

Huai Jun didn't care about that person, but put his hand on Yong Ting's shoulder and said with concern: "Brother Erhuang, you just came back from the border, why don't you take a good rest for a day?"

Yong Ting knew that Huai Jun liked to perform this kind of drama of brothers and sisters in front of the officials, but he was not in the mood to accompany him to perform this kind of drama, so he patted his hand on the shoulder casually, and said coldly: " There are too many people in the DPRK who are worried about the Ding'an Army, and this matter started because of me, so I naturally have to settle the matter before we can talk about rest."

"What Brother Huang said is true." After finishing speaking, he walked forward together with Yong Ting, "Since this is the case, everything will be known when the Holy Spirit comes over."

"The crown prince and the general are concerned about state affairs, and they are the blessings of the Tian dynasty." Prime Minister Zuo interrupted, taking over Huai Jun's words for Yong Ting.

He couldn't see that Huai Jun was targeting Yong Ting everywhere. Who here didn't know that Huai Jun had been on guard against Yong Ting since the day Yong Ting was named General Zhenyuan?Was it because he was afraid that Yong Ting would seize military power and endanger his future path?Yong Ting is his nephew, he promised Concubine Hua Gui to take good care of him, even if Huai Jun is the crown prince, he can't let him hurt Yong Ting!

Prime Minister Zuo stopped Huai Jun's next words, allowing Yong Ting to approach Nuo Xu's direction, and Nuo Xu seized the time to speak: "Yong Ting, don't gossip, as the letter I sent said, Huai Jun is here The second is that you must not be able to keep a general of Zhenyuan. You sent troops privately, relying on only half a tiger talisman, which shows that the Ding'an army is already loyal to you, Huai Jun can't let them continue to follow you. But you must keep the Ding'an army ..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Eunuch Li's sharp voice, "Your Majesty is here."

The man in the yellow dragon robe covered his mouth and coughed as he walked into the hall, until he sat in front of the dragon chair, his coughing still did not stop.

Eunuch Li ordered someone to bring a bowl of water for the Holy Majesty to drink.However, the bowl of water this time obviously couldn't stop his coughing, so Eunuch Li had no choice but to ask the accompanying imperial physician to bring a brown pill and serve the Holy Majesty to take it, which calmed down the violent ups and downs of his chest.

The reason why Huai Jun can no longer allow Yong Ting to sit as the general of Zhenyuan is that the dragon's body is getting worse day by day. Compared with half a month ago, his condition has deteriorated a lot. Jun can't let anyone or anything jeopardize his way to the throne.

And the reason why Nuo Xu needed Yong Ting to keep the Ding'an Army was the same, they wouldn't have another three years to cultivate another army that was willing to be loyal to them.

He and Yong Ting decided to join forces to deal with Huai Jun not long after Chen Pu left three years ago. Letting Yong Ting take over General Zhenyuan was one of them. Another reason for Yong Ting to send troops privately was to see if the Ding'an Army had any strength. How much is loyal to Yong Ting.

"Long live the Holy One." Nuo Xu shouted in unison with all the officials, but his eyes fell on the stern Yong Ting.The result is that Yong Ting has made the Ding'an army surrender to him in the past three years. As long as he can successfully get rid of the crime today, they will be more confident in their confrontation with Huai Jun.

One of them wants the throne, and the other wants revenge, so there will be no mistakes today.

"Flat body." The Holy Majesty said while stroking his chest that had just been flattened. Although his voice was weak, it still carried the natural majesty of the Son of Heaven.The next moment, he glared at Yong Ting and asked angrily: "I believe General Zhenyuan also knows the reason why I urgently called you back to the court. What crime should you have for sending troops without permission?!"

The most fearful thing for a warrior to establish a country is for the general to support his troops and stand on his own. Even if Yong Ting is his son, he shouldn't do such a thing.What's more, no matter how great the reason is for Yong Ting to send troops this time, it is probably to take the opportunity to build up the military prestige and to take the Ding'an army under his command.

Even though he was old, he was not too old and his eyes were dim. He saw all these tricks of Yong Ting.

"I'm guilty." Yong Ting knelt on the ground slowly, looked up at the Holy Majesty, and replied calmly: "It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to inform the court before I chose to take the risk. I know that this matter is serious, so I don't ask for light forgiveness, I just ask the Holy One not to pursue the Ding'an army, and the Ding'an army only obeys the orders of the ministers."

"It happened suddenly? What is it that made the general willing to risk his life to send troops?" Huai Jun did not give Yong Ting the slightest chance to breathe, and said aggressively: "My lord, the letter from the Hungarian State refers to General Zhenyuan's unreasonable dispatch of troops, which made the Hungarian State The innocent people died in vain! Our dynasty has been friendly with the Hungarian dynasties. Although there have been some frictions in recent years, it will not send troops to hurt innocent people. The general’s move is to trap our dynasty into injustice, and he has ulterior motives."

"His Highness only listened to the one-sided words of the Hungarians, and called the repeated provocations of the Hungarians a bit of friction. Is His Highness tolerating the Hungarians everywhere, or is it His Highness who has ulterior motives?" Nuo Xu said sharply.

Prime Minister Mo understands that the Holy Majesty doesn't like to see their brother Xingjian immediately stop their tit-for-tat confrontation? "Since the general has a reason for the incident, I think it's better to listen to the general's explanation first, and then make a decision."

The Holy Majesty suddenly coughed again, and Eunuch Li hurriedly brought another bowl of water for him to drink.It wasn't until he stopped coughing that he saw Yong Ting nodded slightly and asked him to explain.

"There is only one reason for the minister to send troops. The Hungarian sent secret agents to leave gunpowder on the border, causing hundreds of casualties to our people. The people complained a lot. If the Ding'an army didn't fight back immediately, how could they be worthy of the dead and injured, how could they be worthy of Shengwei? Can you suppress the people's resentment?" Yong Ting glared at Huai Jun, and said sonorously, "Sitting in the court, His Highness naturally doesn't know the plight of the people on the border, let alone the provocations that the Hungarian State is provoking us! I can hold back my anger towards the Hungarians and go to the court first, but the people can't help it. They have been harassed by the Hungarians for years, and they have long lost their composure, and the Hungarians can't bear it even more. It will only fuel the arrogance of the Huns, thinking that our court can bully us at will! Dare to ask Your Highness, are the people of our court innocent? And what is the intention of the minister?!"

As soon as these words came out, the court hall unexpectedly became quiet.

Yong Ting's words were obviously aimed at Huai Jun. Every word and every sentence described him as a prince who didn't know the sufferings of the people and was unkind. If Huai Jun rebuked him again, he might be able to remove him from the position of general as he wished. If it is delayed, he will definitely lose the reputation of being a virtuous prince and lose the hearts of the people. On the contrary, Yong Ting will win the sympathy of people all over the world.

Huai Jun knew that he could not act rashly, so he thought about the next step.

Suddenly, the voice mocking Yong Ting just now sounded again, as if to make up for his impulsiveness, "If the facts are really as General Zhenyuan said, why didn't this matter be reported to the imperial court? What is the general saying? Convinced?"

"Regarding the official document on this matter, the general ordered people to send it to the court as early as the day after the dispatch of troops. However, the official document has not arrived yet, and I am afraid that someone with a heart stopped it."

The Holy Majesty frowned tightly, regardless of who the person with a heart in Yong Ting's mouth was, but he shouldn't bring their fight to the court so openly; as for the person with a heart, he looked down at Huai Jun, he You should know that sending troops without permission is a capital offense. If he was the one who blocked Yong Ting's official document, then his action would be to make Yong Ting...

He coughed violently again, his sons, are they destined to kill each other?This question always haunted Min Luo after his death. If Luo's death was caused, then who caused the struggle between Yong Ting and Huai Jun in the past three years?

Could it be that he committed too many crimes back then, and now he is paying back to his son?

When his coughing was over, Nuo Xu took the opportunity to interject and said: "The general sent troops for a reason, and it was all for our people. The general is kind-hearted, and I hope that the Holy One will punish him lightly." Prime Minister Li and some of his ministers also said in unison : "I hope the Holy One will give me a lighter sentence!"

"General Zhenyuan is an upright person, and I believe his words." Prime Minister Mo also pleaded for Yong Ting: "Since the situation is justifiable, I ask the Holy One to punish him lightly, and don't damage a general because of this! "

The general situation has fallen on Yong Ting, and Huai Jun knew that it was impossible to change anything, so he could only clenched his fists tightly to prevent his anger from leaking out.

It's just that he missed this opportunity, and the military power is firmly in Yong Ting's hands, what should he do?What should he do next?

Before he could figure out the next step, the Holy Majesty announced the execution of Yong Ting: "I also know the loyalty of General Zhenyuan. Although he sent troops privately this time, he was fighting for the people. I decided not to punish him severely. However, the country If there is a law, we have to punish, so as not to set up an unhealthy trend. How about this, I will punish General Zhenyuan to suspend his salary for one year, and use small punishments to make big punishments."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yong Ting said loudly, his voice hit Huai Jun's body hard like a hammer, but Huai Jun endured the pain, and said in unison with all the ministers: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After talking about a few more trivial things, the Holy Majesty ordered him to retreat.

At that time, only Huai Jun, Nuo Xu and Yong Ting were left in the court.

Huai Jun watched Yong Ting and Nuo Xu having a happy conversation, seeing his haughty eyes, he got angry and flung his sleeves away.Not long after he left, Eunuch Li came over again with the emperor's order, ordering Yongting to go to Cuiwei Palace after dinner.

Nuo Xu and Yong Ting looked at each other, unable to understand what was going on.
