Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1409 Night Banquet King Song
The prince's words made the atmosphere a little delicate for a while.

Jiawen looked sideways at the great general of the clan.

a long time.

Siye finally said, "The prince must have known that King Song is in the army, right?"

"I can't say I knew it a long time ago, but I didn't know it until now. I know that King Song and his guard Zhang Chao left Chang'an Bashang and came to the Western Regions three years ago. They have been patrolling in Anxi for three years. He was awarded the title of knight for his meritorious service."

Three years, neither long nor short.

Siye smiled wryly.

"I've been in Yili for ten years. Although I don't usually leave the feudal state, I still know a little about the affairs of the Western Regions. Indeed, I have long known that Changqing has arrived in the Western Regions, and I also know that he changed his name to Yan Changqing and Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Chao and Zhang Chao joined the battalion as patrol riders."

"Father should have known about it long ago, right?" the prince said.

"This is for sure. King Song is the eldest son of the emperor. Even if the Yan family fell out of favor and was thrown into the cold palace, King Song was sent to Chang'an for folk education because of his early misbehavior. But after all, he is the eldest son of my royal family. How can the emperor not pay attention to it? These years, The emperor knew every move of Changqing like the palm of his hand. The emperor knew about his departure from Chang'an, but he didn't stop him. He went to Anxi as a patrol rider, and the emperor also knew about it. He even sent someone to say hello to me and tell me to keep an eye on him. , but also confessed that if it is not necessary, do not interfere."

The prince nodded slightly.

"It was only when I discussed meritorious service and rewards last time that I found out that my eldest brother, the emperor, was actually working as a patrol rider in Anxi without saying a word."

"Now I'm a knight." Siye smiled.

"I thought that he would come to see me, at least after I made him a knight, he would come to thank me as usual, but who knows that he found a reason for not coming that day." The prince was helpless.

Siye looked at the prince.

"His Royal Highness fought with Changqing back then, don't you still remember it?"

The prince shook his head.

"What happened back then is in the past. At that time, I was only a ten-year-old child. If it were changed to today, even if King Song scolded me, I would definitely not fight him."

Another moment of silence.

"Your Highness, in fact, I don't think King Song may have any bad intentions. I heard that King Song has changed a lot at the old iron gun in Bashang, Chang'an over the years, just like a different person."

The crown prince nodded, "I believe that, without mentioning anything else, it is not easy for him to come to Anxi and change his name for three years. It’s not easy to only do one cruiser for three years.”

"It's just that I don't understand why he does this?"

Is it to avoid something, or to fight for something?
"Changqing is also a poor child. Back then, his mother Yan Shi hated your father for not marrying her, so the child never saw his father for a long time after it was born. Later, your uncle Sunset King came forward and asked him to marry her." Pass over there."

"Yan Shi is a woman who is very good at painting and architectural design. This can be regarded as the origin of her family. Besides, her mother is the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and her father is also from the noble family of Guanlong. I have never had a good time, and I have been obsessing, and the result is that the child Chang Qing is a little pitiful in the middle, and in the end he was even led astray by Yan Shi."

"In the past few years, it was finally corrected after being put in the hands of the people."

The crown prince was silent. In fact, what Siye said was part of the reason, but the most important thing that led to the disharmony between Yan and his father was that Yan believed that his father should have married her. Queen.

Later, it became Yan's opinion that the eldest son Changqing should become the prince.

In short, in the final analysis, it is still related to the position of the prince.

When Changqing fought with him, he said that the crown prince should be his.

"Jiawen, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. You are the eldest son of the emperor, and the elder is the eldest son of the concubine. We established a system at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. It is not to establish a son, but not to establish a virtuous. Although Changqing is the eldest son of the emperor , but it’s just a concubine, no matter what, it’s impossible to threaten your crown prince status.”

There are kings of Wu and King Jin who are famous for their talents and talents in the ruling and opposition parties. In the end, they were also enfeoffed in the frontiers, one was awarded to Yunnan and the other was awarded to outside the customs.

As for the emperor's eldest son, King Song, who had been renamed several times and sent to the people for many years, he had no possibility of winning the heir.

"Uncle Huang thinks, how about I summon Changqing to meet?"

Siye looked up at the long procession going west, accompanied by countless feudal lords and knights, Changqing and Zhang Chao were also among them.

"I suggest that Your Highness might as well find a free time. When camping, go directly to his camp to meet him. It's not a meeting between a king and a subject, but a meeting between brothers." Siye suggested.

"Okay, then when we camp today, Uncle Huang, you will accompany me."

evening.

The knight Yan Changqing and the knight Zhang Wenyuan were grooming their horses in the camp. Prince Jiawen and Yili King Luo Siye came here accompanied by the governor Niu Jinda, Pei Xingyan, generals Liu Heifu and Zhang Shigui.

There was no pomp and ceremony.

"Big brother!"

The prince was dressed in a simple robe and shouted from a distance.

Changqing continued to brush the horse.

The prince yelled again and moved closer.

Seeing the prince and others, Zhang Chao quickly stabbed Zhang Qing a few times, "The prince is here."

Changqing turned his head, a little surprised, and stood there momentarily stunned.

The prince stepped forward with a smile, hugged Changqing, hugged and patted him vigorously, and let him go after a while, "Brother, I haven't seen you for six years."

Changqing stood there dumbly, not even knowing what expression to use.

"Since eldest brother is in the Western Regions and is in the army, why hasn't he come to see you for so long?" the prince asked, holding Chang Qing's hand.

Changqing didn't know how to answer.

Siye come here.

He slapped Changqing's shoulder heavily, "Good boy, he is quite tall, and he looks more and more like your father. Come on now, you really have grown into a man. I heard that you are coming I have been in Anxi for several years, but you have been in Anxi for several years, and you have not come to see me in Yili. It is too much. When I told the prince earlier that you were also in this army, he still couldn't believe it. "

At this time, Zhang Chao hastily stepped forward to tell Changqing, "The King of Song and I left Chang'an three years ago, and came out to practice and experience, to see the mountains and rivers of the Great Qin, and to see the exotic customs of the Western Regions. I can't get away for a while, Anxi has toured the camp for three years, and I really don't have a holiday to go to Yili to meet the prince."

Changqing nodded.

"After leaving Chang'an, I was Yan Changqing, and I was no longer the King of Song. I just came out to travel, increase my knowledge, and see the scenery of Daqin mountains and rivers, so I never mentioned my identity. Your Highness went west to recruit knights, and I just happened to It happened to be a meeting, so I didn't think about going up to see him."

"Brother, you are too out of touch. Traveling for experience is a good thing. I have stayed in Luoyang for more than ten years. In the past two years, the Holy One also told me to go out more. It is not that I went to Jiangdong last year, but this year I will go out again. The leader has come to the Western Regions. But you have traveled for three years, and you have been a cavalry patrol for three years. Now there is no need to continue. From now on, you will resume your status as King Song and return to Luo Changqing. We haven’t seen each other for six years. How close you are, I have a lot to say to you, you will move to my tent in a while, and we will sleep together tonight. This trip to the Caucasus, it is great to have your brother as your company. "

Changqing wanted to refuse, but it can be seen that the prince is so enthusiastic, but he doesn't know how to say it.

Over there, Zhang Chao has already agreed for him.

"Come here, prepare the banquet. Tonight I will have a big banquet to be named Marquis, and I will formally introduce my brother, His Royal Highness Song Wang."
