Devil’s Advent

over there,

The crown prince led all the officials, with great specifications, and under the witness of all the people in the capital, entered the capital in the presence of King Pingxi, walked the imperial road, and entered the palace.

this end,

The emperor accompanied Zheng Fan in the carriage, took another opening, and entered the palace gate.

"There is a banquet tonight," said the emperor.

The vassal king with the highest specification and reputation in Dayan should be the King of Zhenbei;

However, fame belongs to fame, and everyone is not a qi refiner, after all, they have to live a more realistic life. Therefore, when it comes to the number one vassal king of Dayan today, it is King Pingxi.

The clearest and most direct comparison is,

King Zhenbei actually entered Beijing, two days earlier than King Pingxi.

The emperor also sent the prince to greet him, and also hosted a banquet, but it was the emperor's family banquet.

For ordinary courtiers, the emperor's family banquet is a very high honor, but for the feudal officials or vassal kings outside, this little bit of grace is actually not very important. The feudal officials have their own Political philosophy has its own followers and its own basic plate, and the vassal king is more direct, has his own fiefdom and his own army;

The emperor's attitude towards them is no longer aimed at one person, but at the whole group behind them.

Externally speaking,

Inviting the two princes to Beijing this time announced to the world that Dayan's generation inherited the political structure of one emperor and two kings from the previous generation, which would appease internally and deter externally;

but underneath,

King Zhenbei entered Beijing first and held a family banquet. After King Pingxi entered Beijing, he entertained the two kings to hold an official banquet together. It was obvious who was heavier.

You must know that Wang Jia will not break his connection with Jingzhong on the way. According to common sense, every time he goes to a place, he will send someone to inform Jingzhong, and the local officials will also notify;

The two princes can completely adjust their itineraries and go to Beijing on the same day, trying to avoid any possible embarrassment.

However, in this matter, the imperial court did not deliberately favor one over the other, and Ji Laoliu would not use King Zhenbei as an excuse for King Pingxi. It was King Zhenbei himself who took the initiative to speed up his trip to Beijing;

Everyone understands that after Li Liangting's death, the Zhenbei Palace almost disarmed the court, but Pingxi King has been clinging to the military power and local governance power. Beihou Mansion.

But King Zhenbei took the initiative to lower his posture, and he didn't even think about carrying it. He went to Beijing for two days first, and he was regarded as a junior bowing his head to his seniors.

"Why don't we have a soup together?" the emperor suggested, "Will you go to sleep?"

Zheng Fan turned his head to look at the emperor;

The emperor smiled and continued: "It was built in the style of your mansion. I like bubbles now that I have nothing to do."

It has to be said that Ji Chengjue really pays more attention to health preservation than the former emperor;

It's a pity that his problem is in his head, so it's really not a problem that can be solved by keeping in good health or not.

"good."

Zheng Fan agreed.

"Success, Wei Zhonghe."

"The slave is here."

"It is said to the outside world that I want to discuss matters with the prince's imperial study, so don't disturb me."

"The slave obeys the order."

...

The soup pool in the palace is very elegant, but on the scene, it is not very grand. One is that the palace has a long history, and each palace has its own purpose. ;

After Ji Chengjue came to the throne, his personal enjoyment was not lost, but he did not engage in any major construction projects.

To be really in trouble, you have to build a royal villa to be grand enough. To build it directly in the palace, it really looks a little cramped, at least there is no royal ostentation.

The emperor led the prince in, and the two sat down at the stone table next to the soup pool.

Eunuch Wei personally served the ice drink;

Tian Tian licked his lips, brought it over, and took a sip;

Well,

Not as delicious as expected, too sweet.

The dietary standards of the Pingxi Palace, especially the snacks, have long surpassed this era. After all, there is a vampire in the wine cellar who is responsible for designing and making drinks and snacks for the family members in addition to tinkering with wine all day long.

The emperor lowered his head, looked at Tiantian, and asked;

"How is it, is it good to drink?"

"It's delicious, brother."

"Drink more if it tastes good, brother."

The emperor no longer cares.

"hey-hey."

Tiantian smiled a little embarrassedly, he was a little embarrassed because he was so free and easy, after all, he did it on purpose.

At this time, Eunuch Zhang came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is back."

"Xuan."

"Here."

Prince Ji Chuanye walked in, dressed in a heavy dress, drenched in sweat, already a little wilted after going through various procedures.

Thanks to having stayed in the palace for a year, he has recovered his health, otherwise he really couldn't stand this kind of etiquette.

After entering,

The prince saw his father, Emperor Pingxi, sitting there drinking iced drinks and chatting,

Suddenly, there was a feeling of helplessness that my small body had already borne.

These adults are really shameless...

Of course, these can only be slandered, it is impossible to speak out, otherwise his father and emperor will beat him, godfather... I'm afraid it will be even worse.

"younger brother."

Stand up every day and call the prince brother.

"……"emperor.

Immediately, Tian Tian turned to look at the emperor sitting next to him, and asked;

"Brother...Uncle Your Majesty, can you play with the prince's younger brother every day?"

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief,

road:

"Prince, look who is here."

"Brother Tiantian."

Seeing Tian Tian, ​​the prince seemed to have forgotten the fatigue on his body, handed the tiara to his companion, and immediately ran to Tian Tian.

The two children ate and lived together in the palace for a year, and they would help the prince pee every night. This friendship is genuine.

It wasn't obvious before, but looking now, I stand with the prince every day, even though the prince's physique is much better than before, one still looks big and the other looks very thin;

This is not explained by the age gap, and it is not simply fat and thin.

Whether a person has enough blood in his body and whether his body is healthy can give people a sense of breath, especially in children.

The emperor couldn't help sighing:

"You take good care of your family every day."

Zheng Fan pointed to Tian Tian who had already taken the prince to the side to talk,

road:

"Eight grade."

The emperor blinked,

It seems that I couldn't digest the meaning of this sentence at the first time,

Then,

asked;

"What eight grades?"

"Eighth rank martial artist."

"……"emperor.

Eunuch Wei next to him was also a little bit suspicious. He only sensed that His Royal Highness Prince Jingnan was full of energy and blood, but he failed to sense the aura of high-quality goods;

Obviously, His Royal Highness has a magic weapon to hide his breath.

"It's too exaggerated." The emperor shook his head, "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

"Tsk." The emperor raised his hand, and Eunuch Wei lowered his head and came over.

"Wei Zhonghe, do you remember when King Jingnan was admitted?"

"Your Majesty, there should be a record in the archives of the secret spy department, but I remember that when the late emperor and Lord Zhenbei entered the field, Lord Zhenbei once fought against King Jingnan who was still a young man.

Although Zhenbei Hou Ye won, but after returning home, he put on a decoction with pain in his mouth. "

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief,

sighed

"A tiger father has no dogs."

It's not surprising that Tiantian is now at the eighth rank, because in the past six months, he has really started to practice martial arts.

But in fact, his practice started very early. When he was a baby, he lay on the lid of a zombie coffin and was accompanied by a resentful baby to grow up. On the premise that his own fate was hard enough, he supported it, which is equivalent to being a baby since he was a baby Washing the marrow and cutting scriptures with evil spirit and resentment.

Coupled with his soul boy physique;

The most important thing is that it should be inherited from Lao Tian's blood.

Moreover, one doesn't have to be suppressed by the sword master in the early stage like a sword maid to follow the martial arts path. Tian Tian's physique is innately amazing, and he has no scruples on the way of cultivation.

What Zheng Fan didn't tell the emperor was,

In another timeline, when this child became an adult, he led the remnants of the Jingnan Army to fight bloody battles with the Yan Army several times, and finally broke through Yanjing City and entered the imperial palace.

Now, because of my relationship, that line has long since changed beyond recognition, and it can even be said with certainty that it will never happen again.

But it doesn't make sense,

Zheng Fan's carefully cultivated son,

It will not be as good as the days when the grass roots grow outside.

yes,

There is the myth of rising from the grass with one sword and one sword, and the indomitable spirit plus the wild flowers are more brilliant;

But Zheng Fan can only give more, and the conditions he can provide will only be better.

The most important thing is that although Tian Tian, ​​​​the son of the devil, is not as important as Zheng Lin, the "son of the devil", in the eyes of the devil, but in the past few years, there was only this doll in the family, and it was like teaching by example in the Valley of the Wicked;

These seven teachers,

Even if the strength can't be recovered now, I feel a little aggrieved;

But being a master is more than enough.

You know, for the sword of the sword maid, Fan Li can immediately understand the meaning of the sword after reading the second-hand version.

In comparison, Zheng Fan had to rely on Si Niang to embroider the trajectory of Qi and blood on A Ming's body with string to visually copy when Zheng Fan entered the product, which seemed wasteful.

"One day, plus your pair of sons and daughters, surnamed Zheng, your life is really good, and you have something to rely on when you grow old."

The emperor's words were sour.

Envy, that is really envy.

Back then, Li Liangting served under the command of the seven generals of the Northern Marquis Mansion, and six were his adopted sons, but the adopted sons were not real sons after all.

Tiantian has been kept by Zheng Fan's side, that is, his own son, and the other two soul boys are related by blood.

As soon as Li Liangting left, the imperial court could immediately dismantle the Zhenbeihou Mansion;

But on Zheng Fan's side, it is impossible to operate like this.

Throughout the ages, you can cite too many examples of bloodlines killing each other, but in fact, under the great tide, mutual support among relatives is the real main theme.

"The structure is small, I, Zheng Fan, have not reached the point where I have to rely on my children to live."

Although, the prince has always thought so in his heart.

Along the way, relying on many demon kings;

In the future, when the children grow up, I can count on them, and it is natural for a father to rely on his children, which is more natural than relying on the devil king.

At this time, another father-in-law came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, Prince Zhenbei has arrived."

"please."

"Here."

The king of Zhenbei was also invited by the emperor to have a bath.

Zheng Fan and the emperor sat there, looking at Li Fei, the contemporary Zhenbei king who came in at the entrance.

Li Fei walked with a limp.

The emperor got up and took the initiative to greet him.

Before the emperor came over, Li Fei knelt down and saluted first:

"I see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

"Please get up quickly."

"Oh, don't have so many rules, you make it seem like I'm very rude, ha ha."

Zheng Fan joked with a smile.

After Li Fei got up, he hurriedly bowed to Zheng Fan and saluted:

"Fei, I met Uncle Zheng."

Li Liangting and Tian Wujing are of the same generation, they are peers with status and status, and they are well-deserved peers;

Zheng Fan inherited Tian Wujing's mantle and adopted Tian Wujing's son. Everyone knows that the Jingnan King back then and the current Pingxi King are righteous brothers and sisters.

In addition, Zheng Fan did not inherit the title of King Jingnan, but the title of King Pingxi earned by his military exploits;

Therefore, Zheng Fan and Li Liangting are also of the same generation.

Talking about seniority has always been a very interesting thing, but seniority is only superficial, what really matters is qualifications.

In the big folk family, the qualifications are not enough, at the banquet, the senior is naturally the talker;

Those who are qualified enough, even if their seniority is very low, those seniors will not dare to speak loudly.

The emperor is transcendent, he doesn't need to talk about seniority, because he is the son of heaven;

Only Zheng Fan dared to let Tian Tian directly call the emperor's elder brother to tease him. Others, even the uncle of the country or other elders, had to talk about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers first.

but,

Zhenbei Wang Li Fei put down his figure like this, he really gave enough face.

Zheng Fan got up, walked over and helped him up,

road:

"The three of us don't need to be too polite, we should all be more comfortable."

"This should be what I said." The emperor complained.

"It's the same." The prince didn't care.

Seeing this scene, Li Fei clearly realized that the relationship between the emperor and King Pingxi was truly extraordinary.

Everyone is here,

The three of them took off their clothes and entered the soup pool.

The soup pool is very hot,

Prince Pingxi, with the realm of a fourth-rank grand master,

directly into the center,

close your eyes,

I enjoyed it very much;

Invisibly mocking the two weak chickens who could only sit on the edge and carefully put their feet into the water.

"Your Majesty, my servant is going to add some cold water to mix it up evenly." Wei Zhonghe whispered.

"No need, see if he is comfortable." The emperor refused.

"Here."

The emperor took two towels and handed one to Li Fei next to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be so polite. When our three fathers were together, they were very comfortable as brothers."

"Whose father."

Prince Pingxi, who was soaking in the middle of the pool, shouted,

"Back then, I stood with your father."

The emperor slapped the towel on the water and cursed:

"Your surname Zheng was just a follower."

"Hey, don't worry about where I stood, at least at that time, I could sit with you."

"Your surname Zheng, don't be too frightened!"

The emperor turned up the volume.

"Okay, if you have the ability, don't make me feel awkward, hahaha."

Zhenbei Wang Li Fei only dared to follow, smiling politely.

Leaning on the towels, the emperor and King Zhenbei began to slowly wipe their bodies, slowly getting used to the temperature of the soup pool, and finally soaked in it.

However, the two still dare not get too close to the center, where the water comes out and the temperature is the highest.

The emperor asked, "Why don't you ask Li Fei about Beifeng County and the desert?"

"It's up to you, the emperor, to start the conversation."

"Hehe, now you know how to behave?"

"Well, I'm only interested in being your elder."

Li Fei said: "Since my father and King Jingnan conquered the barbarian royal court, the tribes in the eastern half of the desert have been completely leaderless. In the past few years, a new round of competition and annexation has begun in the desert, which has caused many The small tribe had to leave the desert and seek refuge with me, Dayan."

Hearing this, Prince Pingxi shouted: "Why don't I see a single hair?"

The one who knows how to fight the most in Dayan at present is naturally Prince Pingxi, and the one who is best at fighting with barbarians is also Prince Pingxi. As we all know, Prince Pingxi started his fortune with three hundred barbarians.

The emperor's face has long been reddened by Tang Chi,

directly at the moment;

"Do you know how much money it will cost to send people from a tribe to Jindong? The journey is so long?"

The barbarians attached in the past two years were basically sent by the emperor to his elder brother in Yinlang County. After all, his elder brother still has the status of a barbarian son-in-law.

"Hey, Ji Lao Liu, you are getting more and more outrageous, not to mention cutting off my money and food in Jindong, and even cutting off the source of soldiers, how useful are the barbarians, but the barbarian soldiers are too much less interesting. "

"It's cheap and good-looking. You took advantage of me, isn't it less?"

Prince Pingxi sat up,

road:

"Let's talk about this, the world of Dayan belongs to your Ji family, and your Ji family is the biggest landlord in Dayan, and our servants are doing long-term jobs for your Ji family.

The common people know that during the busy farming season, they can take care of the neighbors who help out. Could it be possible to work for your Ji family and give some rewards? You have to be grateful.

Ji Lao Liu, do you still want to show your face?

Ouch,

Now the more I think about it, the more I lose, I really can't help talking about it;

What the hell is Lao Tzu doing now?

Bring your own dry food to help you guard the gate of Ji's family? "

When Prince Pingxi said this, it was not suitable for Li Fei to speak, because his family's Zhenbeihou Mansion has been supported by the imperial court since a hundred years ago.

But even so, Zhenbei Hou's Mansion became Dayan's well-deserved super family back then, and now, Jindong Pingxiwang's Mansion is self-sufficient in money and food...

Li Fei, who had already taken the position of king of Zhenbei, felt a chill down his back.

"Surnamed Zheng, you came here to collect debts, didn't you? It's such an honor to guard the border for the emperor!"

"The father-in-law in the palace still gets his salary every month. Why do I have to pay it inside if I can't even see a tael of silver while fighting outside?"

"Without a country, there is no home!"

"Without me, there would be no country for you!"

"Zheng Fan, you are presumptuous!"

The emperor stood up directly from the soup pool!

"Why, can the emperor be unreasonable!"

Prince Pingxi also stood up.

It is impossible for Li Fei to continue soaking in the pool now, so he can only stand up and be a peacemaker:

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, Prince Pingxi didn't mean that, that's not what he meant.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we can't talk to His Majesty like this, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the King, we can discuss everything, everything is for the country, not for Dayan. "

"Surnamed Zheng, what exactly do you want!"

"No matter what, I feel like I'm at a loss. I can't bear the expenses with so many soldiers and horses.

It would be fine if there were more elites to make one count as ten, and it would save a lot of trouble, but you have to know that the wild soldiers can only make do with it, they can't be used on the table, and they eat too much!

You send me back the barbarians, I want the barbarians! "

"My lord, speak slowly, speak slowly." Li Fei persuaded.

"You are delusional, not to mention the fact that the barbarians have been sent to Marquis Anton by me, and they will never come back for no reason, that is, how much pressure is there for Yinlang County to face the entire three sides of Qianguo, how can I give it to you? He broke the stage!

The surname Zheng, I see that you are really used to lawlessness, are you going to rebel, this emperor, you can do it! "

"Your Majesty, you must not do this, Your Majesty, you must not say such angry words, King Pingxi can't mean that, it can't mean that.

Uncle Zheng, Your Majesty, let's discuss it carefully, and we will definitely be able to negotiate a perfect solution, for sure. "

Zheng Fan sneered,

pointing to the emperor,

road;

"If you don't give money, don't give food, don't give soldiers, you are letting me go to be a qi refiner and cultivate immortals. Jindong has to suppress Jin, and also has to guard against Xueyuan and Chu. I carry three of them. It's easy. !"

"Then how can you be satisfied!" the emperor shouted angrily.

"My lord, what do you want?" Li Fei asked hastily, "It's really not possible, I will be in the second half of the Northern Palace..."

Li Fei originally wanted to say that if it was impossible, he could cut some of the food and salaries of the Zhenbei Palace for the second half of the year so that the imperial court could support Jindong. After all, the barbarians in the desert have been busy killing each other in recent years, and the threat is already very low.

But Li Fei didn't finish his sentence,

Zheng Fan said directly;

"Okay, I'll suffer a bit. Just do what my elder nephew said, and switch the troops from Li Chenghui's town to Jindong, and I'll replace them with wild soldiers."

Li Fei: "Huh?"

The emperor let out a long sigh, as if he was deliberately suppressing his anger, and even smashed the wet towel in his hand on the water,

turn your head,

With a gesture of not wanting to see you, Zheng, dead,

Turning to look at Zhenbei King Li Fei standing beside him,

road:

"Hey, what do you think, King Zhenbei?"

"..." Li Fei.
