Chapter 191 The Messy Prime Minister's Mansion
At the beginning, Ye Tang thought that it would be difficult to make a move in the palace. There were a lot of social conventions and he would have to deal with many, many people. Unexpectedly, the palace was actually quite simple.
The emperor and empress were lenient to others, the empress dowager had a kind face, and although the princess was spoiled, she was straightforward and lively, without many bad intentions. As for the other concubines, Ye Tang had not seen them and could only see them at dinner time.
Before the reunion dinner in the evening, the emperor would lead his children and concubines in the harem to worship their ancestors and the heaven and earth. The items were all prepared in advance by the palace servants, and the process was not complicated and was completed in an hour.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the pavilion where they watched the show. The second floor was where they had the reunion dinner, and they ate while watching the various performances on the first floor.
The performers included singing, playing the piano, acrobatics, dancing... as well as martial arts and animal training.
Ye Tang saw a very familiar big tiger.
She gently tugged at Jamel Xiao's sleeve beside her: "Is this the tiger we sold to our eighth cousin?"
Jamel Xiao was full and a little sleepy at the moment, his eyes were blurry: “I don’t know, don’t all tigers look the same?”
"This is the tiger that Lao Ba had someone send over. It is said that he spent a lot of effort to find it. It is very ferocious!" The voice of Emperor Yuan Wu came: "The person who tamed the animal was also arranged by Lao Ba. He is really thoughtful this year."
Ye Tang: “…”
It turns out that the eighth cousin bought the tiger not only because he liked to raise wild animals, but his main purpose was to use the beast to please his own father?
Compared to the liveliness in the palace, the princes and nobles outside the palace were all furious when they learned that Xiao Jingxuan was going to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
"Why can that country bumpkin enter the palace, but I can't?"
"Father is too partial. Who is his son?"
They, the emperor's own sons, were unable to enter the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve, but Xiao Jingxuan and his wife went. How could they not be angry?
"My father, my mother, and my grandmother are so old and confused!" This was the curse of Prince Duan. He was in the study at the moment, scribbling on the paper with a pen in his hand angrily: "A bunch of rubbish, they can't even kill a country bumpkin!"
There were two men kneeling in front of the table. After hearing Prince Duan's words, they trembled slightly and lowered their heads: "Prince Xian is protecting him, so it will be difficult for our people to succeed."
"You are useless!" Prince Duan looked grim.
He found out about Xiao Jingxuan's whereabouts by accident. Gao Yi once told him that his father attached great importance to the deceased Prince Pingshan and his wife. If they had a son alive, he would probably be loved endlessly by the emperor.
When he found out that Xiao Jingxuan was in Tian'an Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of Prince Xian, he was afraid that Xiao Jingxuan would stand on Prince Xian's side, so he decided to kill him.
Unexpectedly, Prince Xian protected Xiao Jingxuan so well.
"When did Prince Xian know about Xiao Jingxuan's existence? How good is their relationship?" Prince Duan's eyes flashed with calculation: "Xiao Jingxuan just came to the capital, and he became the King of Pingshan, and married the newly found granddaughter of the Duke of Huguo. This makes me have to be on guard!"
"Gao Yi is right. Pingshan Palace should not exist. Father and his family are all confused people. They only have Pingshan Palace in their hearts and don't care about us sons at all."
It was impossible to kill Xiao Jingxuan in Tianan Prefecture, and it is even harder to kill him now!
Prince Duan looked sinister: "Since it is difficult to kill him, let him stand on my side."
At the Prince's Mansion, Gongsun Tianxu was also in a bad mood.
He is the crown prince, the future heir to the throne, and the eldest son born to the queen. Even he cannot enter the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve, but Xiao Jingxuan went. It is simply ridiculous.
"Father is getting old and confused!" He doesn't care about his own son, but favors an outsider.
"Your Highness, the living cannot compare to the dead. The status of Princess Zhaoyang and Prince Pingshan in the emperor's heart cannot be replaced by anyone. The emperor favors Princess Zhaoyang and Prince Pingshan, not that peasant."
“Those who achieve great things must be patient and know how to use people well.”
"No matter how much you dislike Jamel Xiao, you must admit that Jamel Xiao is deeply loved by the emperor."
"He came from the common people. He has never seen the intrigues and deceptions in the capital. He knows nothing. Even though he inherited the throne of King Pingshan, he cannot compare with the old King Pingshan. Such a fool who is favored by the emperor but has no ability is the easiest to control. Your Highness can use this person to win the hearts of the people."
"After this, maybe I can get the Flame Order through this person and command the Flame Army!"
The Flame Army was a 10,000-man army trained by King Pingshan during his lifetime. Everyone in the army was brave and good at fighting, and their ability to kill the enemy was unmatched by ordinary armies. After King Pingshan and his wife died, the Flame Army was taken away by the Emperor.
When the prince heard the words "Flame Army", his eyes lit up slightly.
Yes!
And the Flame Army!
Now that King Pingshan's son has appeared, will the Flame Army remain silent?
I just don’t know if this army still has the combat capability after twenty years. I guess those soldiers are getting old!
Even though they are old, the Flame Army is still the most powerful army, and he must get it!
......
"Will the emperor give the Flame Order to Xiao Jingxuan?" In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Yi had a serious expression.
After Prince Pingshan and his wife died in battle, he and other ministers proposed to hand over the Flame Army to the general and let the general lead the Flame Army to continue to defend the Yuan Dynasty. However, the emperor refused and took over the Flame Army himself.
The Flame Army was arranged by the Emperor to live in a separate military camp, which was called the Flame Camp. After entering the Flame Camp, the Flame Army never came out again.
Over the past twenty years, many battles have taken place in the Yuan Dynasty, but the Flame Army has never appeared.
Many people say that the Flame Army no longer exists as it was disbanded by the Emperor, and all those soldiers returned to their hometowns and became ordinary people.
But he knew that the Flame Army existed and had not been disbanded, because a few years ago, the people he sent saw people appearing in the Flame Camp.
"Grandfather, can Yuman come in?" A crisp voice came from outside.
"Come in!" Gao Yuman walked in slowly: "Grandfather, you came to the study after dinner, but what's bothering you?"
"Nothing." Gao Yi waved his hand: "Why did you come to see me?"
Gao Yuman looked distressed: "My father got drunk again and threatened to run away from home."
Gao Yi's expression darkened and he walked out.
Gao Yuman followed him quickly.
The grandfather and grandson came to the flower hall, which was in chaos.
All the acrobats were kneeling on the ground, and a thin middle-aged man was cursing angrily.
"Get lost, don't touch me!"
"Why don't you let me out? I'm the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"You lowly creatures, do you also want to control my life like my father did? Aa ...
A middle-aged woman went up to help him, but he slapped her hard in the face.
