I want to do something big [fast travel]

Chapter 20

Before dawn, the north gate of the capital became lively, and there was a lot of people everywhere. At first glance, there was not even a place to step down, as if the people of the whole city had gathered here.

Today is a big day for everyone in the capital.

The Qing Army led by Prince Gong Mu Jing will enter Beijing today. They will enter through the North City Gate and walk all the way to the school grounds!

The sun was getting higher and higher, and with the shout of the guarding generals, the north city gate finally opened slowly. Outside the city gate, three thousand neatly armored and heroic Daqing soldiers were marching in line!

A grand parade is about to begin!

Three thousand Daqing soldiers, led by the chief general, walked into the city gate in one order.

Walking in the forefront is a team of cavalry, and the most eye-catching thing about these cavalry is not the tall horses or mighty armor, but the short hair!

No one will laugh at them, everyone knows what that short hair represents!

That is the symbol of the five thousand warriors who bravely went deep into the grassland and completely defeated the barbarians!

That's the mark of a hero!

The noise gradually sounded, and Ma Sidun, a soldier in the five cities who was in charge of maintaining order, felt a great deal of pressure, and he couldn't suppress the wave even if he shouted at him to stop him.

Countless people crowded forward, they wanted to see the heroes of Daqing, they wanted to see these soldiers who drove the barbarians out of Daqing completely!

Every soldier walking on this street, every general, regardless of age, regardless of military rank, everyone is the object of their sincere praise!

This is the hero who saved Daqing!

Of course, what attracted the most attention were the three people who were at the forefront.

Prince Gong Mu Jing, Great General He Zhengqi, and——

Gu Yanqi.

Gu Yanqi, a national scholar in white!

Violent cheers broke out among the people, and everyone squeezed forward desperately, trying to see the true face of the man in white.

This man who does not have any official position but can turn the tide of battle by himself has become a mythical figure!

Amidst all the jubilation, Zhong Wenzhuo seemed extremely excited, he was in a hurry to respond to the enthusiasm of the people, and at the same time he had to find time to ask Gu Yanqi.

"Where's Jing Zhongjin? Why didn't he come on such a big day? I haven't seen him for many days."

Gu Yanqi always maintained a decent smile, and took a slight look at Zhong Wenzhuo: "He has more important things than walking around the street."

"What more important thing can there be!" Zhong Wenzhuo snorted in his nasal cavity, full of disdain.

"When I left Yuecheng in the past, I gave you three kits." Gu Yanqi said slowly, "When I return to Beijing today, I will naturally give him a few kits."

Zhong Wenzhuo suddenly became interested, and asked questions quickly, but Gu Yanqi kept silent, letting him make noise and make fun of himself, but he focused his attention on the people around him.

It wasn't until a group of people came to the school grounds that Gu Yanqi got rid of Zhong Wenzhuo and walked beside Mu Jing.

"What are your plans?" Mu Jing joked in a low voice.

Gu Yanqi blinked: "God knows, Earth knows, I know you don't."

Mu Jing smiled happily, but didn't pursue it, but He Zhengqi, who was not far away, was furious, and unconsciously squeezed the rein tightly.

Since the separation, although the two lived not far away, He Zhengqi hadn't spoken to Gu Yanqi for a long time, and even if he spoke a few words, it was mostly a lukewarm greeting.

Seeing Mu Jing talking so intimately with the other party at this time, he unconsciously felt jealous.

After the separation, he became more concerned about Gu Yanqi, probably because the other party's attitude of leaving him was too firm, which made him pay attention instead.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies soon led several generals to the high platform, and the grand performance ceremony started as scheduled. Three thousand soldiers either rode horses and archery, or attacked in formation. Emperor Huizhe, who had been ill for a long time, also watched with relish, and seemed much more energetic.

Gu Yanqi was placed at the back on the left. Although he has made great achievements, he has no official position, which is already a reward.

But such a back position facilitated his observation.

Silently matching the civil and military officials sitting with the impressions in his mind one by one, Gu Yanqi's eyes fell on the high platform, the person sitting on the bright yellow dragon chair.

That is the ruler of Daqing, Emperor Huizhe.

Emperor Huizhe's body was thin and his complexion was blue and gray. At this time, because of his happy mood, his face was flushed, and he didn't look as sick and weak as the rumors said.

But Gu Yanqi knew that in the client's memory, Emperor Huizhe had passed away at this time, even if his arrival extended the emperor's life for a few months, the other party was destined not to live long.

Mu Jing sat on the right side of Emperor Huizhe, while on the left sat a young man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon. He was about 30 years old, staring at the school ground with a sullen face, and looked anxiously at the entrance on the left from time to time. Go, seems to be waiting for something.

Prince Mu Cheng.

Gu Yanqi secretly said in his heart.

This is also Mu Jing's greatest enemy.

He wanted to take a closer look, but saw the prince's face was beaming, and his gaze was directed at him.

Gu Yanqi quickly retracted his gaze and looked to the left from the corner of his eye.

At the small door on the left side of the school yard, a big eunuch hurried in with something in his arms.

The big eunuch passed through the carnival crowd, and ran to Prince Mu Cheng with an unchanging expression in small steps, and whispered something in his ear anxiously, looking from time to time at the people who were accepting the reward from Emperor Huizhe on the high platform .

The Prince's complexion remained unchanged, but finally showed a little joy.

"Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

This commotion attracted Emperor Huizhe's attention, he waved his hand and said, "Cheng'er, why are you making so much noise?"

Mu Cheng frowned tightly, with an unspeakable expression.

"Father, my son has received an urgent report from Prince Yu."

"Prince Yu?" Emperor Huizhe asked curiously, "Why did he come to see you?"

Daqing Guozuo has been in existence for more than two hundred years, and there are countless clans, Prince Yu is one of them.He is already in his sixtieth year, and he is an old prince of the late emperor's generation. He has been in charge of the clan mansion for decades, and has a high prestige. Even Emperor Huizhe respects him very much.

Upon hearing that it was an urgent message from the old prince, Emperor Huizhe asked quickly.

Prince Mu Cheng stood up, restrained his excited tone, and buried his head deeply.

"Father, Prince Yu sued Prince Gong, Mu Jing, forcibly marching without caring about Qingren's life, and slaughtered Qingren's village, killing good people and pretending to be meritorious!"

Emperor Huizhe's face darkened, and he said with a hint of threat: "Jing'er is working hard for Daqing, I'm afraid the old prince heard it wrong."

Mu Cheng didn't notice the impatience in Emperor Huizhe's tone at all, instead he happily corrected him.

"Father! Here is a copy of the surviving Qing's blood book, which can be used as proof!"

He took out the piece of parchment that the eunuch was holding, and unfolded it, only to see that it was a blood book written in blood, and every line was accusing Prince Gong of the atrocities committed by Mu Jing!

I can't watch this school show anymore!

Emperor Huizhe's face was already darkened to the extreme, he gave Mu Cheng a hard look, and said, "I'm not feeling well, I'm going back first, Zhu Aiqing can do what he wants."

After saying that, he asked the eunuchs at the side to wait on him and got into the imperial sedan chair, and hurriedly left the school grounds with Mu Cheng, Mu Jing, He Zhengqi, and Gu Yanqi.

The hustle and bustle on the school grounds gradually faded away, and Gu Yanqi followed Emperor Huizhe, only feeling that the atmosphere was terribly oppressive.

After a group of people entered the imperial study room and Emperor Huizhe sat down on the small couch, he said, "Mu Jing! See for yourself! What is this!"

On the school grounds, Mu Jing was already aware of what happened here, so he didn't pick up the bloody book, but knelt down and said, "I have never done such a bad thing, so I ask my father to learn from me!"

"The sufferer has come to the clan's mansion! You said that you have never done it before!" Emperor Huizhe became short of breath angrily, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly delivered the pills. After he took the pills, his condition gradually stabilized, "Okay! Since you If you say you are innocent, then go to the clan manor and explain to Prince Yu!"

He waved his hand, and immediately a guard stepped forward to take Mu Jing away.

Gu Yanqi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! Your Highness, Prince Gong, is dedicated to the country, and there is no such thing as killing a good man and pretending to be a meritorious deed!"

"Going to the grassland is your idea, Gu Yanqi." Emperor Huizhe still had some tenderness towards his son, but when he looked at Gu Yanqi, he didn't have a good face, "You bewitched Prince Gong, what should you do! People, take him down too!"

Mu Jing's face darkened: "Father, Gu Yanqi's body is weak, and the cell is cold, I'm afraid—"

Emperor Huizhe waved his hand without waiting for him to finish, "That's enough, I won't listen to your explanation. And He Zhengqi!"

He Zhengqi hurriedly knelt down.

"As a lieutenant general, you are not able to assist Prince Gong on the right path. You are also guilty. Detain you!"

The guards have already stepped forward, pressing He Zhengqi and Gu Yanqi to go out, but they can't take Mu Jing.

Mu Jing said: "Father, even if there is a mistake in this matter, it is my fault alone, why should Father implicate others!"

Gu Yanqi whispered from behind: "Your Highness, it's okay."

But Mu Jing didn't move, and planned to carry it to the end.

"Mu Jing! Are you going to disobey the emperor's order!?" Mu Jing asked from the side.

Gu Yanqi persuaded again: "Your Highness, it really doesn't matter!"

Mu Jing's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced at Mu Cheng, knowing that if he resisted again, the emperor might do something again, so he said: "Gu Yanqi is a hero, he has heart disease, and his body is weak, even if You should not treat him harshly if you are implicated in prison, and please ask Father to prepare a comfortable cell for him."

"I agree, let's go."

Only then did Mu Jing shake his sleeves and leave.

After a while, only Emperor Huizhe, Mu Cheng and a few eunuchs were left in the room.

Emperor Huizhe was so angry that he leaned on the couch and couldn't say a word, but Mu Cheng felt refreshed and stepped forward to persuade him happily.

"Father, don't be angry, Mu Jing must have been obsessed with ghosts for a while, so he did this kind of thing..."

"Bastard!" Emperor Huizhe opened his eyes, threw the teacup on the table, and hit Mu Cheng's forehead, causing his forehead to swell immediately, and he let out a cry of pain.

"Father calm down!"

"You think it's good to think of your little mind! You have to do something like this on the school grounds! I'm afraid that if things don't get serious, I won't punish Jing'er!?"

Prince Mu Cheng was shocked.

"Even if you are dealing with Jing'er, you should watch the time! Today is the school performance to welcome the heroes! How can you attack and annihilate your brothers!"

"I took you out of the school to save some face for you!"

"Shame!"

Emperor Huizhe took a few breaths before continuing.

"If you are as virtuous as you, what kind of prince will you be, and what kind of country you will be in charge of!"

"I can't wait to—"

Emperor Huizhe's words were held in his chest, and he didn't say it after all. He hated Tie Bucheng and stared at Mu Cheng, and said coldly.

"Get out!"

Mu Cheng fell into an ice cave.

What did Emperor Huizhe want to say?

Could it be that he wants to abolish his crown prince?

Mu Jing did such a tragic thing, he didn't want to praise himself for exposing him, but instead wanted to abolish his prince?

He is already so dissatisfied with himself, did he say it in front of him!

Do not!

He must be the prince!

He must be the prince!

Even the royal father is not qualified to replace him casually!

No matter what, he wants to keep this position!

As long as Mu Jing is abolished, no matter how dissatisfied his father is with him, he is the only choice to inherit the throne!

Mu Cheng gritted his teeth and left the imperial study room. In a blink of an eye, the room was empty, except for the panting of Emperor Huizhe, there was no other sound.

After a while, the eunuch heard the emperor's weak self-talk.

"From the day he was born, I have been teaching him the way to be a king, but look, what he gave me in return!"

"Brother did something wrong, he didn't think about justifying it, but he wanted to add insult to injury instead?"

"Is this the attitude of being a brother! Is this the bearing of being a prince!"

"How can I rest assured that the country will be handed over to him!"

The chief eunuch lowered his head tremblingly, he dared not intervene even if he had a hundred brains about such a royal matter.

Emperor Huizhe was overwhelmed with anger, but calmed down: "Mu Jing is not a reckless person. If he did such a shitty thing, he would definitely do it cleanly without leaving any traces. There must be something hidden about this matter."

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant will go and investigate right away."

"Investigate! What must be investigated will be revealed!"

The eunuch arched his body and wanted to go down.

"Wait." Emperor Huizhe narrowed his eyes, "Check it out, don't check it out because Mu Jing was wronged."

The eunuch was startled.

"Your Majesty means..."

"Check, it's confirmed that Mu Jing and Tu Qing's people have made military exploits." Emperor Huizhe said coldly, "I don't have much time, and the country will inevitably be in turmoil if the prince is replaced at this time. My son is very talented, and I can't take this risk."

He sighed weakly.

"If you give me another 20 years, it's hard to say who will be the crown prince."

The eunuch's scalp was numb, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost knelt down.

What did Prince Gong do wrong?

Nothing more than a master of high merit, Emperor Huizhe couldn't bear it.

No matter how nicely he said it on the surface, he was already afraid of Mu Jing, a son with great prestige, and began to think of ways to weaken the other party's influence.

Mu Cheng's attack just happened to give Emperor Huizhe an excellent handle.

The eunuch knew that what he heard at this moment was the biggest secret of the empire, and also the most deadly secret.

He didn't even know if he could survive after doing this.

Emperor Huizhe was unable to protect himself at sunset.

It seems that we have to find a way out.

The eunuch bowed and left, his eyes were cloudy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

That night, the Ministry of War was imprisoned.

Even if it is the cell with the best treatment, it is just a cell, not a clan mansion, all the relatives of the emperor are imprisoned, and the cell is much more comfortable than ordinary people.

Gu Yanqi hugged the thick quilt sent by the jailer, yawned, and was about to sleep when he heard the noise from the opposite side.

"Yan Qi! Yan Qi, don't sleep!" Zhong Wenzhuo stretched out his hand through the iron fence, "What's going on? Why was I arrested right after I left the school grounds? And His Royal Highness, how did you enter the clan's mansion? went?"

"I heard that He Zhengqi was also arrested? But I didn't see him. Why isn't that guy locked up here?"

"Have a good rest, don't think about anything else." Gu Yanqi wrapped himself tightly and turned over, "At least three days before we can go out."

"Three days?" Zhong Wenzhuo called out, "How do you know? Did you do something else?"

"Hey! Don't sleep!"
