Li Bowen saw that the imperial guard stretched out his hand, so he took out the confession written by Prince Cheng to him from his arms, with Prince Cheng's big seal on it, and he handed over the confession document, but when he saw the imperial guard's face, it instantly became ugly.

A few more imperial guards came from behind, and the one who led opened the confession paperwork, looked at it twice, then squinted at Li Bowen and asked, "Just such a certificate, nothing else?" ”

Li Bowen suddenly understood, people are asking for door bags, if they want to let these imperial guards go in, then they don't give people some money for hard work, then they will definitely procrastinate and delay their own time, he doesn't have much time, Li Bozhi will be here in a short time.

Immediately took out a bag of copper coins from his arms, Li Bowen stuffed the money bag into the hands of the imperial guards, and said with a smile: "And this, buy a glass of wine for the brothers to eat." ”

"Else, this is the proof? We've got a lot of people here! The leading imperial guard checked the money bag and found out that it was a copper coin, but he thought that the money was too little, and the copper coin was not gold, what can be bought with such a small bag, not enough to drink a meal, but it is really just a "cup" of wine.

Li Bowen hurriedly said: "I came in a hurry, but I didn't have time to prepare too many gifts...... he turned around and waved at the palace guards behind him, and the palace guards immediately came over, holding a one-foot-square wooden box in his hand.

When the palace guards came closer, they opened the lid of the wooden box with a snap, and the inside was shining with gold, and it turned out to be a gold brick, I am afraid it must weigh more than ten catties!

The imperial guards were immediately dumbfounded, they didn't think about knocking on the door bag, they could knock out such a large gold brick, this is too exaggerated!

Li Bowen was distressed at this time, when he set off from Taiyuan, Prince Cheng asked him to take refuge in Yang Ze, of course, he had to prepare a batch of gold and let him bribe Yang Ze's subordinates. Good relationship, there are more than a dozen such gold bricks alone, but Li Bowen didn't use them, and now he can't come up with anything good, in order to quickly pass the royal guard, he has to use gold bricks.

A royal guard pounced, snatched the wooden box, looked at the gold bricks carefully, and said, "Really, this is real gold!" ”

All the royal guards gathered around. They looked at the gold bricks, almost excited to cry, since the establishment of the new dynasty, they have no oil and water, the imperial guards are looked down upon, despised by Yang Ze's subordinates, today finally came a foreign vassal king, or a super wronged head, even sent gold bricks. That must be done for him, or he will be sorry for such a large gold brick.

After putting away the wooden box, the expressions of the imperial guards changed greatly, and they actually invited Li Bowen into the guard room in the east palace gate. And the leading guards rushed to deliver the letter in person, telling Li Chongjiu that there were relatives in Taiyuan.

Li Bowen sat in the guard room, holding a teacup in his hand. Looking at the courteous smiling faces of the imperial guards, he thought to himself: "It seems that the money still works, this time I understand." What royal majesty, if you want to enter this palace gate, as long as you smash out enough gold, then you will definitely be able to get in, and if I want to do anything in the future, I don't have to bother with it, just smash the gold bricks out, there is nothing difficult to do in this world. ”

didn't wait for a while, but I heard someone outside the guard room say, "Which one is the little prince from Taiyuan?" ”

Li Bowen immediately stood up, put down the teacup, and walked out quickly, and saw a middle-aged man with a strong appearance walking outside the door, not wearing an official uniform, but wearing an extremely gorgeous Hu suit, looking like a big nobleman.

He thought to himself: "This is definitely not the prince, so who should it be?" Well, it must be Wu Youren, besides him, there should be no one else in the East Palace. ”

"So, Li Bowen of Prince Taiyuan Cheng's Mansion has seen Lord Wu!" Li Bowen stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, bowed down to the middle-aged man, and bowed.

The middle-aged man sighed, looking very surprised, he said: "I'm not Lord Wu, my surname is Du, and I am the captain of the recruit of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

It turned out that the person who came was Du Da chin, not Wu Youren, he entered the East Palace in a military uniform today, but because he had been wearing it for several days, he had never washed it, and the military uniform had a bad taste, Li Chongjiu gave him a suit of clothes in order to win him over, it was Li Chongjiu who wore it out, and Du Da Chin was replaced, and it was mistaken by Li Bowen.

"It turned out to be Captain Du, someone recognized the wrong person, Captain Du is not strange." Li Bowen hurriedly apologized.

Du Da chin smiled and said: "How can I be as old as Lord Wu, I am still very young, I am just eighteen this year, well, I will still be eighteen next year." ”

Li Bowen thought to himself: "Eighteen? Saying that you have thirty-eight people who believe it, they will believe it! He smiled and said, "Yes, Captain Du is good-looking, but he is really a great husband!" ”

Du Da's chin sounded very happy, he was able to enter and exit the East Palace in the past few days, because Li Chongjiu asked Li Yan for the establishment of the Golden Crow Army, so he is now regarded as the Lang General of the New Army, however, he still feels that it is more comfortable for others to call him the captain, Lang General can manage thousands of people, but the captain is different, the team can be infinitely large, for example, the army, who can say how big the army is, so it is better to call him the captain, he listens comfortably!

"Little prince doesn't have to be so polite, come with me, let's go in and see His Royal Highness the Prince." Du Da chin looked at Li Bowen, the two old princes in Taiyuan finally sent someone, but how did the little prince who was sent have a declining face, and his head was blue, it couldn't be that he had just been beaten, right?

Du Da chin led Li Bowen into the main hall, at this time Li Chongjiu was already dressed neatly and sat on the top of the main hall, this is the Yin'an Palace, except that the scale is smaller than the Taiji Palace, and the specifications are lowered by one level, and the other furnishings are almost the same.

On the side of Li Chongjiu's position, there was a carved mahogany pier, and Wu Youren was sitting on the wooden pier, Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren both opened their eyes wide and looked at Li Bowen who came in from outside the hall.

Li Bowen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he finally saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, as long as he was given another quarter of an hour to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, then even if Li Bozhi entered the palace, it would not shake his position in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart.

Kneeling down on his knees, Li Bowen was sure that he would definitely not recognize the wrong person this time, and he said loudly: "Minister Li Bowen knocked on His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An!" "Anyway, I kowtowed three times, but I didn't dare to knock down. I'm afraid of pain, but it's also a good courtesy.

Li Chongjiu above was overjoyed, he looked at Li Bowen below, and the joy in his heart didn't need to be mentioned, Taiyuan's support finally arrived, he waited like the stars and the moon, and finally waited for the support.

Li Chongjiu stood up, walked up to Li Bowen, helped Li Bowen up, and said with a smile: "You are the grandson of Prince Cheng?" Well. Sure enough, he is a courtier who is loyal to the court, and when he sees you, he is equivalent to seeing Prince Cheng......"

When Li Bowen raised his head, Li Chongjiu suddenly couldn't speak, so close, Li Bowen's bruised forehead, he could see it clearly!

Li Chongjiu thought to himself: "No, could it be that he kowtowed too hard just now and knocked his forehead blue?" But he obviously didn't kowtow just now. So what's going on with this brain? ”

Wu Youren also stood up and followed behind Li Chongjiu, he also saw Li Bowen's wolf bèi phase, but Wu Youren's reaction was much faster than Li Chongjiu's. immediately knew that Li Bowen was injured.

Wu Youren asked, "Little Wangye, what's wrong with your forehead, but what trouble did you encounter on the way here?" ”

Li Chongjiu sighed softly, thinking, "It won't be on the way here." was robbed by someone sent by Yang Ze, then this shows that the guards sent by Taiyuan are not good at combat effectiveness. Even the little prince who led the way was injured, so can the entire guard team protect me, could it be that Yang Ze figured out that he beat the Taiyuan guards, implying that I can't find anyone? ”

Li Bowen's face was full of grievances, and his tears were about to fall, he had already suffered a lot of grievances, so there was no need to pretend to look like this.

Li Bowen was about to kneel down again, choked up and said: "The minister asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master of the minister, and the minister was insulted by the waiter of the criminal department on the way here......"

Li Chongjiu hurriedly asked him to sit down and talk, and sat next to Wu Youren, when he saw Li Bowen like this, something must have happened, he was anxious to know, after all, the guards sent by Taiyuan were protecting his safety!

Li Bowen said what he had thought about on the road, except for the part where he was repaired by Wang Peilun, the waiter of the Criminal Department, there was almost no truth, but because his head was bruised and swollen, and he cried and cried when he spoke, he could really deceive the audience, Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren actually believed it.

Li Bowen said that he and Li Bozhi were sent out by Prince Cheng and King Jingde, and brought hundreds of Taiyuan guards to protect Li Chongjiu to Taiyuan.

This Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren both believe it, and when a large group of people travels, of course there must be a way to explore, not to mention that there are still hostile forces in the DPRK and China, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Li Bowen said that when he was about to walk to Chang'an City, he was called halfway, saying that Wang Peilun, the servant of the Criminal Department, wanted to see him, he was just an empty little prince with no official and no title, how could he not go to see the real power of the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect Wang Peilun to set a trap for him and give him a good insult, and the evidence is the bruise on his head, this is real evidence, I can't believe it.

Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren believed it again, and both of them were silent, it seems that Yang Ze made a move and sent his minions to repair the princes of Taiyuan, this is a warning to the princes!

Li Bowen said that after he was insulted, he had to take someone to find Li Bozhi, and it turned out that Li Bozhi was also injured, it was someone who broke his bones, I heard that it was a robber, it was a large group of robbers wearing black clothes and covering their faces to be injured, after they rested for a night, he still stood up today, first came to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and Li Bozhi could come after a while.

He didn't say the time and place of the black-clothed man's attack on Li Bozhi, he just passed by, and said it more vaguely, but Li Chongjiu and Wu Youren's attention was on whether they were from the Yang Ze faction, and they didn't notice it at all.

After listening, Li Chongjiu looked at Wu Youren and said, "Brother Wu, what do you think about this?" ”

Wu Youren thought about it, analyzed the current form, and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Yang Ze's expedition is imminent, and it should be tomorrow, if he wants to go to the border pass, he must go to Taiyuan first, but the two princes of Taiyuan are on our side, so Yang Ze is anxious, and wants to use this method to warn the two princes, so that the two princes must not help His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, he looked at Li Bowen again, and asked, "The two old princes are in good health, and they hate Yang Ze, a chaotic minister and thief, right?" ”

Li Bowen hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares, the two princes are in good health, and they hate Yang Ze to the core, so they are determined to help His Royal Highness the Prince, if Yang Ze dares to have different intentions, I Taiyuan hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will swear to fight this thief to the end." ”

Li Chongjiu turned his head and said to Wu Youren again: "Brother Wu, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

In the short time he spoke, Wu Youren had already thought of an idea, and he said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the minister thinks that at this time, we can't respond to all changes with the same, because whoever arrives in Taiyuan first at this time can have the upper hand!" ”

"Shall we go to Taiyuan first? Yang Ze will set off tomorrow. Li Chongjiu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, Yang Ze is carrying a large army, their speed will not be very fast, we have few people, we should be able to rush in front of him." ”

Li Bowen was anxious to express himself at this time, because he estimated that Li Bozhi should be about to arrive, and if he didn't express himself, there would be no chance.

Li Bowen said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, but King Yan will send a vanguard, and the vanguard must be an elite, so even if Yang Ze can't go fast with a large group of people, but the vanguard is very fast, and the guards brought by the minister are already sleepy and lacking, if you compare the speed with the vanguard of King Yan, I'm afraid it can't compare with them!" ”

Li Chongjiu felt reasonable, he hurriedly asked Wu Youren: "Brother Wu, this is indeed the case, we and Yang Ze are really faster than them, so what should we do?" ”

If you don't mention the pioneer, if you mention the pioneer, doesn't this mean that you are not as fast as Yang Ze's pioneer.

Wu Youren said twice, "Then let's set off tonight, let the little prince go back first, ride the fastest horse, non-stop, take a shortcut back to Taiyuan, after returning to Taiyuan, just let the two princes send someone to send some wine and meat out, stop Yang Ze's vanguard halfway, saying that it is to reward the pioneer and try to delay time, then won't it be able to buy time for us, as long as His Royal Highness the prince can enter the city a moment earlier than Yang Ze, it is enough, and then close the city gate, on the grounds that the army cannot enter the city to disturb the people, Let Yang Ze lead the troops directly to the border pass, and the matter will fall to the dust. ”

Li Chongjiu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, as long as he goes to the border pass, the grain and grass are in Lone's hands, so don't you rub him as much as you want!" ”

Wu Youren looked at Li Bowen and said, "Then please put on the clothes of His Royal Highness the Prince, pretend to be His Royal Highness the Prince, and rush back to Taiyuan tonight, how about it?" ”

Du Da, who was listening, glanced at Li Bowen with a big chin, and thought: "This is to let this little prince be a stand-in to block arrows for the prince, this little prince is really unlucky." ”

At this moment, someone outside suddenly said: "Your Highness, there is another little prince outside!" (To be continued......)
