midnight.

Thousands of lights illuminate the front of the palace gate as if it were daytime.

Hundreds of elite cavalry guards guard Meng Yu in the middle. Behind them, there are gifts that Manager Zhang hastily packed up. They are all foods from the Central Plains—the various sweets that the princess used to like.

In order to prevent Meng Yu from thinking about destroying Jiangbei because of his love for sweet soup, Manager Zhang sent the cook's family into the team to Xitu after obtaining the cook's consent.

Meng Yu was sitting in the carriage, and it was rare that he didn't pick and choose the carriage of the palace. He leaned on the cushion and said lazily to Jin Rui, "You have a heart."

"As long as uncle likes it." Jin Rui put the freshly dried tea on the low table, put the snacks in the drawer, and Meng Yu prepared books for the road to pass the time, "Uncle, this time you go I’m in a hurry, I don’t have time to prepare. When I go to Xitu, I’ll bring you more useful things. Although there are many good things in Xitu, they are not as exquisite and comfortable as those in Central Plains.”

"Well, you can figure it out."

After packing everything up, Jin Rui jumped out of the carriage again. After a while, he brought up a few books, "This is the book of war I wrote before and after I regained my memory. It is slightly different from my grandfather's book of war. Point one or two."

Meng Yu casually flipped through a couple of pages, his face was calm, but his heart was warm.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the king of Jiangbei read this book of war?"

"Yes, he read it when he wrote it." Jin Rui scratched his head. "However, he always felt that I was not in good health, so I was not allowed to write military books. If he didn't stop me, I would write more."

"You don't know anything about hiding your secrets." Meng Yu threw the book aside and waved, "Okay, didn't you agree that you will come to Xitu after a while, don't make it look like a parting of life and death. Let everyone go , you go back too."

Jin Ruihong jumped out of the carriage with red eyes. The little prince was waiting outside the carriage. Seeing him jumping down, he stretched out his arms and hugged him fully.

"How old are you still crying." The little prince laughed at him, "How many times have you shed tears since your uncle arrived in Jiangbei?"

Jin Rui wiped away his tears. Meng Yu was his dearest relative, and he wanted to support him before meeting him. Even Xi Tuguo was going to give it to him.

It's not that he likes the position of crown prince, what he likes is that the person who hurts Meng Yu the most is him.

The most important thing in mother's heart is revenge, and Jin Mo's heart is even more out of the question, and other relatives don't need to be mentioned.

The carriage started slowly, and Jin Rui saw the curtains on the windows of the carriage move. Although he had nothing to say, Jin Rui knew that Meng Yu couldn't bear him either.

The little prince accompanied him and stood there for a long time, the carriage was long gone, and the illuminated sky was getting farther and farther away from them, Jin Rui still didn't want to leave.

It wasn't until the eastern sky turned white that Jin Rui pulled the little prince's hand, "Let's go, let's go back home."

The two stepped into the gate, and Xue Zhenqi brought all the generals in the palace to kowtow to them.

"Meet the Crown Prince of Xitu, and the King of Jiangbei."

The little prince smiled and kicked Dong Geng, "You want to cheat the reward again, don't you? If you want to reward the silver, you don't have to pay homage to the king, just the crown prince."

Everyone laughed and kowtowed to Jin Rui again, Jin Rui hurriedly waved his hands, "No need to pray, no need to pray."

"This is impossible. We are waiting for a reward. Princess, you can't give less. Xitu Kingdom has been rich in the past two years."

Guanshi Zhang had already made preparations for Jin Rui, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait for Xituguo to pay the money.Manager Zhang came out with the reward silver and rescued Jin Rui.Everyone rushed forward and started grabbing silver rewards.

The laughter made Jin Rui's ears hurt, he rubbed his ears, and walked into the house with the young prince.

Xue Zhenqi caught up and discussed with the young prince: "Remember to burn paper for the noble concubine Renxiao and tell her the identity of the concubine. This is a great joy."

Jin Rui became the crown prince, and Xue Zhenqi was naturally the happiest.Jin Rui's identity can help the little prince even more than marrying a princess.

Now that the little prince has Jinshan and Xitu's support, he can truly fight against the imperial court.

Hearing what Xue Zhenqi said, Jin Rui refused: "I want to burn you."

"I'm going to burn paper for Mr. Meng." Xue Zhenqi smiled with tears, "I want to tell Mr. Meng that his son is not only alive, but also the leader of a country. I also want to tell Mr. Meng that his grandson is not only a Crown Prince, there is another powerful support."

Jin Rui stopped and looked back at Xue Zhenqi.

This is the first time that Xue Zhenqi thinks that the little prince is his helper, instead of always wanting to use his background to help the little prince.

These changes are all due to closeness.

When the two returned to the room, the servants undressed the young prince. When he was about to undress Jin Rui, the young prince stopped them, "You step down, the crown prince's clothes must be taken off by the prince himself."

Jin Rui was tired all day long, and he had long lost energy. When he saw the bed, he wanted to lie down in a daze, but suddenly felt a hand groping around his waist restlessly.

"roll."

The little prince smiled and said: "Why, you have become so angry after becoming the crown prince?"

"I'm tired."

"You have such an uncle, how can you not be tired?"

"Don't speak ill of my uncle."

"Oh." The little prince skillfully took off Jin Rui's clothes, lowered his head, and blew softly in his ear, "You only have one chance."

Jin Rui yawned, confused, "What chance?"

Suddenly, the little prince tripped him lightly, and he lost his balance and fell on the bed.Poured on the soft brocade quilt, the sleepiness is more intense.

Jin Rui closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly someone came up from behind, almost crushing him.

"Go away!"

"This king is in front of your uncle today, and it can be regarded as a little low-key. Don't you reward this king?"

Jin Rui closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to push the young prince. He was originally weak, and this will make him even weaker.The little prince remained motionless on top of him, doing evil everywhere.

He couldn't bear it anymore, and bared his teeth: "Don't touch me."

"I've said all of them, but one is not allowed." The little prince said with a smirk, "Either I want you and scold your uncle at the same time. Or I shut up and ask you quietly. Would you choose one?"

Half of Jin Rui's sleepiness disappeared, and he began to struggle violently, but it was useless, he couldn't push the little prince at all.

"You'd better not annoy me, annoy me, be careful that I will destroy you Jiangbei."

This sentence was full of momentum because of anger, the little prince was not afraid when he heard it, but instead laughed and fell on him, "Sure enough, I learned from your uncle badly."

Jin Rui gave him a precise answer, "Humph!"

"This king will bully you today, if you have the ability, you will destroy Jiangbei overnight."

Jin Rui couldn't push him, so he squeezed his waist hard, "Your official position is not as high as mine, so don't be presumptuous!"

"Hey, you're quite airy. Then the king will kneel down and ask you, how about it?"

"..."

Jin Rui was startled by his shameless posture, paused for a while, and then resumed his struggle, "No, this is not fun, I won't do it! Let's talk about it when your official position is higher than mine."

"Heh, when I succeed in rebelling, I don't know when it will be. You are forcing me to become a monk."

"Bah, when I didn't get you before, weren't you and I fine?" Jin Rui rolled his eyes resentfully. He was the one who chased after him before, but now it's a good thing.

Jin Rui intensified his pinching force, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say I bully you, you can't be the emperor, but if you can be the prince, I will consider your official position to be higher than mine."

He said so on the lips, but in his heart he thought that the little prince had no chance at all.An infertile son cannot beat a disabled son.

"Prince?" The little prince laughed angrily, Jin Ruiming pretended to be fooling around.

He was about to forcibly attack the city, when Zhang Guanshi's voice suddenly came from outside the window, "My lord, the capital is urgently reporting that the crown prince is dead."

Jin Rui: "!!!"

The arc of the corner of the little prince's mouth was suppressed, and his black eyes hesitated on Jin Rui's face for several seconds before moving away, which shows how difficult it is to give up this time.

"Your mouth is really open." The little prince put on his shoes and glared at him, "Take a good rest, I will deal with you next time."

Jin Rui didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so he put on his clothes as well, "The prince is fine, why don't you just go away?"

The two hurried to the study, Xue Zhenqi and Dong Geng also came.

"The spies said that the crown prince has been depressed ever since he became disabled. After hearing that the emperor had sent two noble daughters to Jiangbei, he drank his sorrows with alcohol and was drunk every day. Later, he became addicted to alcohol and stopped drinking for a day. It looked like he couldn’t live. When he was found, he was soaked in a wine pool and drank to death.”

Lu Ke took a sip of tea, "It's fresh, and some people drank themselves to death? Don't our brothers also drink every day, why are you okay?"

Xue Zhenqi said: "This is nothing new. Drinking and drinking are two different things. You can't do anything too much."

Jin Rui brought the topic back, "The person we let go should not even come out of Jiangbei. Let's chase him back and kill him, as if there was no rebellion."

"What does the princess mean?"

"Prince Xie, the prince is the only son of the emperor, he should succeed to the throne, there is no need to rebel."

The little prince disagreed, "Maybe I will be forced to have a child again at that time. You have a noble status and the position of concubine is unshakable, but if the emperor finds a few concubines to give birth to a child for this king, they will be raised under your name." Now, what should I do?"

Annoyance flashed across Jin Rui's brows, and he sneered, "Your family has the throne to inherit, so it must be spread out. Coincidentally, my family also has the throne to inherit. When the time comes, I will have a couple of concubines and put them in your hands." under his name."

"Speak up, why are you angry again? This king didn't say he was going to have a baby!"

Jin Rui turned his head and ignored him.

It is too tempting to be able to ascend the throne and become emperor without rebellion, and everyone has to be tempted.

Xue Zhenqi said: "Regardless of whether the prince has children or not, the prince is nominally the youngest son of the late emperor and the only younger brother of the emperor. No matter how you look at it, he should be named the prince. When the prince becomes the lord of the world, who can control your harem? ?”

Peng Zhi said: "That's exactly the reason. Let's coax the emperor to give you the throne first, and then we will slowly plan. Anyway, everyone in the world knows that you are not good, you just send as many beauties as you want, and you put them in the room. Just touch it."

The little prince glanced at Jin Rui's face, and said in a deep voice, "It's not okay to put it in the room. Even if the king becomes the emperor in the future, only the princess can live alone in the huge harem."

Only then was Jin Rui satisfied, "Okay, let's calculate the time when the spies set off. The prince should have passed away not long after the imperial envoy left. After such a long time, there should have been some action in Beijing, but the news hasn't arrived yet." Here we are."

Everyone began to analyze what the emperor in Beijing would do and how to respond.

The sky is bright outside, and the autumn light shines through the window, making everyone's shadows very long.At the beginning, Jin Rui was still sitting and listening to the audience's analysis, but he couldn't stand it any longer, and leaned his head on the young prince's shoulder to doze off, and fell asleep completely at some point.

The little prince carried him to the arhat couch, pulled the thin quilt over to cover him, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, turned around, and saw that everyone stopped discussing and looked at him.

"Do you still remember the reason why this king decided to rebel?"

Dong Geng nodded: "I remember, because I don't want others to enter the house, and make the princess unhappy."

The little prince said: "Yes, it's just for the sake of the princess, not for the throne. So no matter what actions in Beijing, whether this king will be made the prince, the premise of everything we deal with is the princess."

Everyone stood up and bowed down in unison, "I understand."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Lu Ke said with a smile: "It's not good to offend the princess, it's really offending, the king of Xitu Kingdom will not let us go."

The little prince looked at Jin Rui, with deep affection in his eyes, "Since sending his uncle away, he is still tense. This king knows what he thinks. He lost in the past, and he was the only one who lost. If we lose now, the entire Xitu may still be compensated."

"No wonder the concubine reacted so strongly just now." Xue Zhenqi sighed, "That's right, the status of the crown prince is too involved."

Jin Rui didn't know how long he slept, and when he woke up again, the study was empty.There was a charcoal basin beside the bed, and it was burning vigorously.

Steward Zhang came in when he heard the movement, and poured him a cup of hot tea.He was annoyed that he was not healthy enough, and he didn't want to drink tea.

Why did he fall asleep while discussing matters?

Although this body is already in great condition, as Qi Zheng said, it has no "capacity", and it is not as strong as others.

"Where's your lord?"

"My lord just went out, and the winter grain and charcoal fire I bought arrived. There are tens of thousands of carts. It's huge and magnificent. My lord and Mr. Xue all went to see it. They can't come back until the inventory is finished."

The Jiangbei area has long winters, and it is impossible to rely on self-supply for food and charcoal.So every autumn, the government will come forward to buy food, charcoal, etc. in the south, and save some for the military camp when they come back. Some of them are sold to the common people at the original price, and some are sold to the surrounding small countries and tribes at a higher price.

Jin Rui quickly took the clothes, "I'll go and have a look too."

After getting out of bed, Jin Rui kicked the charcoal basin, "It's not winter yet, whoever wants to use this thing, put it away!"

Manager Zhang pursed his lips and smiled: "When you fell asleep, you kept crying, and you were still screaming cold. The prince was holding you, but then he changed the charcoal basin when he was about to go out."

Jin Rui's cheeks were stained with a thin layer of red, and he led Baixi out of the door in a hurry.

When they arrived at a place not far from the camp outside the city, it was full of people.The carriage moved forward slowly, and Jin Rui talked to Baixi while eating snacks.

"Am I really crying all the time?" Jin Rui had been sleeping like a dead man, and couldn't remember what happened at all.

Baixi nodded: "The shouting was so loud that we heard it in the courtyard. Originally, Mr. Xue and the others were still discussing matters in the study room. You asked the prince to hug you, and they left."

Jin Rui covered his face, it's over, this is too embarrassing.

There was a lot of voices in front, and the carriage gradually stopped, probably unable to move.Zhang Chengtian came over and said that there was a lot of traffic ahead, so Jin Ruide gave up the carriage and walked over.

It is not easy to walk after getting off the carriage. Although the avenue is wide, there are hawkers who take the opportunity to sell their stalls on both sides. The road is full of cars and horses, and there are many people walking.Everyone was not anxious to go to the front to see the unloading, but they were leisurely strolling around the stalls on both sides. At this moment, the official road seemed to be a market.

Jin Rui hurried forward, but couldn't move.I didn't want to alarm the people, so I didn't let the guards clear the way in front, just let them follow from a distance.

Zhang Chengtian and Baixi followed him, and the three of them squeezed forward together.After walking for about a stick of incense, a group of people rushed over suddenly, and the crowd was all crowded.Jin Rui was pushed to the side of the road, he couldn't stand firmly, almost fell down, and was supported by the vendor.

"Poverty Taoist, you look like a rich and powerful person, but I'm afraid that you will be entangled with serious illnesses and it will be difficult to live a long life."

After Jin Rui heard this, he realized that he bumped into a fortune-telling booth, and the person supporting him was a handsome Taoist priest.

He stared at the Taoist priest for a few times, and smiled: "I don't know if Chang has a way to crack it?"

The Taoist smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are. Shen Yan is a dark ghost, most afraid of joy. If you have a few more children under your knees, you will get rid of any old diseases."

Jin Rui said "Oh", "When I heard the words of Daoist Master, Mao Sai suddenly realized. I will go back and marry a few more concubines. In a year at the latest, I will definitely give birth to seven or eight of them."

"Are you married?" The Taoist changed his face, pulled him back, and suppressed his surprise, "The poor Taoist judges your appearance, you are childless, if you want children around your knees, you can only hope for your husband. And , don't be obsessed with your husband, sleep when you sleep, don't you have to be hugged to sleep?"

Jin Rui shook off his hand, annoyed and ashamed: "A majestic emperor, still meddling in other people's affairs?"

The Taoist was startled, then laughed in a low voice: "You are really smart, no wonder you are liked by Jinger."

Jin Rui thought in his heart, you look very much like the young prince, you are either father and son or brothers, what else can't be seen?

"If it's convenient, can we take a step to talk?" The emperor pointed to the carriage parked on one side.

Jin Rui looked around him, the guards and Baixi had disappeared, they must have been deliberately lured away by someone arranged by the emperor.

He has no choice at this time.

Jin Rui calmly said, "Please."

The emperor took Jin Rui into the carriage.As soon as he got into the carriage, the emperor sternly said, "You killed the imperial envoy, and even sent someone to tell me not to interfere in your affairs, Prince Xitu, you are so majestic!"

It seems that the emperor knows everything.

Jin Rui secretly calculated in his heart, it seems that when they killed the imperial envoy, the emperor was already in Jiangbei.Counting the time when the prince died, the emperor should have followed the footsteps of the imperial envoy to Jiangbei as soon as the prince died.

The person they sent back to pass on the message might have been called by the emperor after leaving the palace.

It seems that the emperor wants the little prince to be the prince.

But now that the emperor knows that the young prince is going to rebel, will he still make the young prince the crown prince?

Moreover, the emperor didn't go to see the young prince, but he deliberately came to see him. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him?

Jin Rui secretly touched his dagger, but the emperor sighed heavily.

"You two are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. If you kill the imperial envoy, why don't you kill them clean? Let everyone in the world know that you are going to rebel and force me to punish you? Fortunately, I cleaned it up for you. Avoid future troubles.”

Jin Rui stared at the emperor with bated breath, so the meaning of what the emperor said was that they wanted to rebel?

"Jing'er is a fool, thinking that with the soldiers and horses he has raised for several years, he can defeat me?" The emperor sneered, "If I want to attack him, I don't need to suppress it with an army. In less than two years, the people in Jiangbei turned against him."

Jin Rui didn't answer.However, he and the little prince had already considered that the emperor would do this, so the grain and winter clothes they bought this time were enough for Jiangbei to use for several years.

"He can rebel recklessly for you, which shows that he really likes you." Speaking of this, the emperor was a little proud, "In this regard, he is like me, a seed of infatuation."

Jin Rui: "..."

What a joy to be proud of!Have you forgotten that you are having an affair?

"but you--"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about how to deal with him.

Jin Rui tightened his grip on the dagger, his palms were already sweating.

A smile leaked from the corner of the emperor's lips, "But you are very good, unlike his mother, you are very brave and smart, and you are someone who can accompany him to conquer the world."

Jin Rui suddenly raised his eyes.

"He lacked control since he was a child, he was raised without rules, and his temper was cruel. I originally planned to let him be raised in Jiangbei for a lifetime, and I have fulfilled my father's responsibility."

Father?The emperor knew even this.

Presumably it was the young prince who cleared out the first emperor's people in the palace, and the movement was too great, so the emperor found out.

"I have never thought of letting him be the crown prince. Even if my crown prince is disabled, I just want his child. However, since he has you, I want to pass on the throne to him."

"Ah?" Jin Rui was stunned. Didn't the emperor come to trouble him?

"I heard that when you were a military adviser, you helped him check taxes, clean up corrupt officials, and repel foreign enemies. I can't guarantee whether he can be a good emperor, but you are definitely a good empress and prime minister."

Jin Rui: "!!!"

"I originally wanted to help him deal with the issue of heirs before he abdicated. Although it made you unhappy, at least you will resent me in the future, and it will not damage the relationship between the two of you. But he chose to rebel because of you. I can't tolerate it."

The more Jin Rui heard it, the more wrong it became, "So..."

"So, I don't care about your mess anymore. You don't want to have children, well, you go to bear the pressure of the officials, and I don't care." The emperor took out an imperial edict from his arms and threw it to Jin Rui, "Advise him to restrain himself." Break your temper, or if you become a prince, you will still be so reckless and irritable, and the spittle of the officials will drown him."

"Prince, crown prince?" Jin Rui picked up the imperial decree, and it really was to make the young prince the crown prince, and there were two more lines to make him the crown princess.

When he didn't know what to say, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly pulled open. When he turned his head, he saw the little prince jumping into the carriage with a big knife.

"It turned out to be you! The dog emperor, if you dare to touch the princess, you will take a knife from me!"

The emperor was startled, and hid back, but the carriage was narrow, so how could he dodge it.

Jin Rui: "..."

He raised his foot, exerted all his strength, and kicked the little prince's ankle hard.How could the little prince be on guard against him, he kicked him out of the carriage.

Jin Rui carefully carried the imperial decree in his arms, with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened just now, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
