Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

At this moment, outside the gate of Kunning Palace, there were densely packed with fully armed and black military uniforms of Xiaowu military sergeants, swords and guns outward, all with solemn expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.

Kunning Palace was also full of Xiaowu soldiers, and Lei Ting was ordered to lead three thousand Xiaowu troops to protect the prince's safety.

The prince did not go to the Taihe Hall to participate in the dynasty today, according to Queen Sun, the prince suddenly felt a cold last night, so he could not go to the Taihe Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang came to see the prince in the morning, and saw the prince lying on the hospital bed with a sallow face, looking weak, so she had to go to the Taihe Hall with Queen Sun.

Originally, the court of the Taihe Palace should be presided over by the prince, but the prince died at a young age, and the Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Sun, as the two guardians of the prince, had to come to the court with the prince, and now the prince is sick and can only go to the court twice.

Empress Sun knew that today's dynasty would decide the fate of the crown prince, and in order to protect the safety of the prince, she specially transferred all the 3,000 Xiaowu troops to guard the Kunning Palace.

When Long Xiangwei's emaciated Baihu appeared with the carriage containing the wine jar, a military attache of the Xiaowu Army who was guarding the gate of the Kunning Palace immediately led them into the courtyard.

The carriage stopped in front of a utility room after passing through the compound of Kunning Palace, and the soldiers of Long Xiangwei methodically carried the wine cans on the cart into the room.

"You, bring this jar of wine to the main hall." Just as Li Yuntian was removing a jar of wine from the car, the military attache of the major pointed at Li Yuntian and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Yuntian bowed to the military attache of the major, strode towards the main hall with the wine jar in his hand, and two soldiers of the Xiaowu Army opened the way for him in front.

There were more than 100 elite soldiers guarding the entrance of the main hall, and the one in charge of guarding this place was a lieutenant colonel military attaché, who put Li Yuntian in when he saw this.

Inside the palace, the crown prince was playing with two children, and although the situation in the capital was tense at this time, an eight-year-old child was not aware of the impending danger at all.

The two eunuchs stood beside each other with their heads bowed, smiling at the prince, and seemed to have a very close relationship with the prince.

Lei Ting, who was dressed in military uniform, paced back and forth in the hall uneasily, she was not worried about the safety of the prince, but whether Li Yuntian could enter the palace smoothly, in case someone saw a flaw, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Li Yuntian, who was holding the wine jar, entered the palace door, Lei Ting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a hanging heart finally let go, and couldn't suppress her excitement and stepped forward to give Li Yuntian, who put the wine jar at her feet, a big hug, tears couldn't help but flow, since she came back this time it was the first time to see Li Yuntian.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall, including the crown prince, was stunned, and looked at Lei Ting with a puzzled expression, not knowing why she was so close to a soldier of Long Xiangwei.

"Liuniang, why are you crying?" In the silence, a ten-year-old child who was with the prince couldn't help but step forward, stretched out his hand and gently pulled the corner of Lei Ting's clothes, "Is someone bullying you, you sue me, and I will avenge you." ”

"Liuniang, this is happy." Lei Ting was excited when she heard this, wiped her tears, smiled and leaned over to pull the child, pointed at Li Yuntian and asked, "Anbang, who do you see who he is?" ”

This child was Li Anbang, and he looked at the bearded man standing in front of him with a puzzled expression, he had never seen this person before.

Li Yuntian smiled when he saw this, reached out and took off the beard on his face, and looked at Li Anbang with a loving face, it was actually his idea to send Li Anbang and Li Anyu into the palace to accompany the prince, which put Li Anbang and Li Anyu in danger, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he should not involve these two children.

"Daddy!" Li Anbang's face first showed a look of shock and doubt, and then he rushed forward in surprise and threw himself into Li Yuntian's arms.

Li Yuntian touched Li Anbang's head lovingly, and at this time Li Anyu also reacted, rushed over and threw himself into his arms.

The two eunuchs standing beside the prince couldn't help but look at each other, didn't Li Yuntian die in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, why did he suddenly appear here?

"Minister Li Yuntian see the prince." Li Yuntian knew that now was not the time to share the deep affection between father and son with Li Anbang and Li Anyu, so he comforted his two sons and walked towards the prince and bowed.

"Teacher, you're not dead?" The prince flickered his eyes and looked Li Yuntian up and down, his face full of joy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on the orders of Emperor Daxing, carried out the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, and worked with the queen to protect the safety of His Royal Highness." Li Yuntian bowed again and replied in a deep voice.

"Teacher, why didn't the queen mother let the palace participate in today's court meeting?" When the prince heard this, he understood, it turned out that this qiē was Emperor Xuande's plan, and then asked suspiciously, it was Empress Sun who asked him to pretend to be sick and deceived Empress Dowager Zhang and King Yue, who followed Empress Dowager Zhang to check.

For the eight-year-old prince, he still can't understand why Empress Sun asked him to deceive Empress Dowager Zhang and King Yue, you must know that these two people can be said to be his closest relatives in the world besides Empress Sun.

"The queen mother is doing this for the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the matter discussed in the court today is related to the Ming Dynasty's society, if there are people with bad intentions, then it may set off a bloody storm, and the queen does not want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be in danger." Li Yuntian naturally knew that Empress Sun was worried that she would be accused by King Yue's people in the Taihe Palace, but he couldn't make it clear that after all, King Yue had not rebelled yet, so he found a tactful reason.

"Teacher, the safety of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will be entrusted to the teacher." The prince's eyes flashed a little gloomy when he heard this, although he was only eight years old, he had been in the palace since he was a child, and he naturally knew the sinister nature of the palace under his ears and eyes, and then said to Li Yuntian solemnly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, the minister will do his best to protect the Queen and the Queen Mother." Li Yuntian knew that the crown prince was at peace with Empress Sun and Empress Dowager Zhang, so he bowed down and replied with a stern expression.

"General Lei, just now the miscellaneous family got the news that the King of Yue has ordered the Beijing army from Juyong Pass to block the four gates of the imperial city and the palace city." At this moment, the door of the temple opened, and a eunuch hurriedly walked in, looking anxious and said to Lei Ting.

Lei Ting couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuntian, it seemed that King Yue was ready to make trouble at the court meeting in order to get on the throne.

"Are you ready?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Lei Ting in a deep voice.

"It's ready." Hearing this, Lei Ting clapped her hands at the side hall on the side, and saw two military attachés of the Xiaowu Army leading a young man wearing the prince's costume and a figure and appearance somewhat similar to the prince.

"Teacher, this is ......" The prince glanced at the young man wearing the prince's clothes, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian in astonishment.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the little chamberlain selected by the queen mother from the palace, and she will go to the Taihe Hall on behalf of Her Royal Highness." Li Yuntian bowed down and explained to the crown prince that the road to the Taihe Hall had definitely been blocked by King Yue's people now, so he could only enter the Taihe Hall in this way.

"Slave see the prince." The young man dressed in the prince's costume hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute the prince, looking sincerely frightened, he never imagined that one day he would wear the prince's costume and pretend to be the prince.

"Since you are taking the place of this palace today, then there is no need to be polite." When the prince heard this, he glanced up at Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian bowed slightly to him, so the prince reached out and helped up the little chamberlain who replaced him.

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" The little chamberlain hurriedly bowed down and said, looking flattered.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, the prince is very smart, and he knows that he should win people's hearts at this time, and if time comes, he will definitely be able to skillfully control the way of control.

Because Li Yuntian was going to the Taihe Palace, the prince's guard of honor was soon passed to Kunning Palace, and the people responsible for guarding the prince were the Jinyi Guard, the Bannerman Guard, and the Long Xiang Guard.

"Take care of the crown prince and act according to the plan!" Before leaving the main hall of Kunning Palace, Li Yuntian said to Lei Ting in a deep voice.

"Be careful!" Lei Ting nodded, and told Li Yuntian with a concerned expression, the Imperial City can be said to be already the world of King Yue, and Li Yuntian's appearance in the Taihe Hall is unpredictable.

Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, hugged Lei Ting and strode out of the palace gate, the little chamberlain who was a stand-in for the prince had already gotten into the chariot parked in the square in front of the palace accompanied by the two eunuchs who had accompanied the prince in the main hall before.

It is worth mentioning that these two eunuchs are not ordinary chamberlains, but personal chamberlains who have accompanied the prince since childhood, one is Song Dashan, who is the left eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and the other is Wang Zhen, who is the right eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and has won the trust of the prince.

Song Dashan and Wang Zhen and Li Yuntian can be said to be old acquaintances, Song Dashan needless to say, Li Yuntian not only has a life-saving grace for his family, but also has a sense of support for him, it is an eyeliner that Li Yuntian planted in the inner court, Song Dashan went to the prince's side in Li Yuntian's construction, and now he has finally come out.

As for Wang Zhen, although he is not Li Yuntian's person, Li Yuntian usually maintains a good relationship with him, and when Emperor Xuande entered Beijing, the two of them can be regarded as sharing hardships and hardships, and their friendship is very comparable.

Obviously, when the crown prince can be pro-government, he will definitely reuse Song Dashan and Wang Zhen, two personal chamberlains, to take charge of the inner court, and the two will be the two major eunuchs in the inner court.

Since Song Dashan and Wang Zhen are the two inseparable close attendants around the prince, the two of them must follow the prince's stand-in to the Taihe Hall this time, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the outside world.

For Li Yuntian's "resurrection from the dead", Song Dashan and Wang Zhen were shocked, and they were surprised and happy in their hearts, surprised that Li Yuntian had escaped the catastrophe of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and happy that the crown prince had received the strongest help, and he no longer had to be afraid of King Yue's provocation.

As the descendants of the prince's side, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen definitely hope that the prince will inherit the unification, but now that King Yue is in the limelight and the prince's power is too weak, once King Yue plots against the prince and is unable to fight back, and the two will also be implicated, and if they don't do well, their heads will fall to the ground.

Li Yuntian's appearance can be said to have given the two of them a reassurance, and the two of them will naturally follow Li Yuntian's instructions, secretly waiting for Li Yuntian to control the situation. R1148
