Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 267 The Heart of Rebellion

In fact, how did the emperor know that the strength of the four princes at this time was far more than 5000, but at least 2.Moreover, the so-called border troubles were simply a farce written and directed by the four princes, and they were staged for the imperial court, thus gaining military power in a fair and just manner.

Although all this was done in a seamless manner on the surface, and it was hidden from inside and outside the court, there was one person who knew it well, and this person was the virtuous king.

King Xian once followed the army to this place to eradicate border troubles in his early years. He is familiar with the terrain and folk customs of this place. He knows that although the people's customs are strong, their hearts are simple. That is to say, the border residents on the border are just rebelling.

However, the four princes have been quite effective in governing the local area in recent years. I heard that many people in the mountains have moved outside the mountains, and the four princes have given them land and exempted them from taxes, money and food for three years.

That being the case, how can there be a tendency for border troubles to intensify?

There must be ghosts in this, if it is not that the fourth prince is colluding with foreign aggression, or the fourth prince lied about the military situation, or the military bandits are all the fourth prince's own people, acting for the court to watch.

King Xian sent his cronies to secretly inquire about the land of the fourth prince, and indeed he saw some clues.

The confidant of King Xian came to the southwestern border, only to find that the mountains that had been plagued by bandits for many years had now been imprisoned by the soldiers of the fourth prince, the roads were completely blocked, and there were heavy guards.

The confidants of King Xian had no choice but to ask the local mountain people for a small road, bypassed it secretly, and entered the mountain cautiously. They found two troops stationed in the mountain, one of which had about 5000 people, all dressed as officials and soldiers.

It's just that when his eyes glanced elsewhere and saw another scenery, there was an unbelievable surprise in his eyes!
He was surprised to find that there was another team not far away, with more than 1 people!
What made him even more surprised was that these people were dressed strangely, like foreigners, but the two troops could get along well and were stationed together for drills.

The confidant of the Xian Wang brought back the news, and the Xian Wang immediately understood that this was a side trouble created by the fourth prince himself, and his purpose was to obtain the power to recruit soldiers from the imperial court.

King Xian got this news and had a plan in mind, it seems that he has to go to this matter himself.Thinking of this, King Xian shouted: "Han Fu!"

The old housekeeper responded, and the old housekeeper said, "Your Highness is going out?"

The old butler looked about five or sixty years old, his face was weathered and pale.This old housekeeper named Han Fu grew up with the prince since he was a child, about two or three years older than the prince, and he is the most trusted person of the prince.

"This king is going to the southwest, and you will support me at home. I will definitely come back in ten days at the earliest, and half a month at the slowest." The prince said to Han Fu.

"My lord, take Han Jun with you, and this old slave can rest assured." Han Fu said respectfully, worried about the lord's safety.

"You're the only one, so stay with me. I'll take Xiao Chuan there. There shouldn't be any problems!" King Xian said, supporting Han Fu's back.

"Xiao Chuan is too young, let Han Jun go. Xiao Chuan often walks in the palace. If he is away for a long time, he may be suspected. Let him guard the gate for the master." Han Fu said loyally.

King Xian thought for a while, patted Han Fu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's up to you. After I leave, just tell outsiders that I practice alchemy in seclusion." Steward Han withdrew accordingly.

Four days later, two outsiders, one old and one young, appeared in the fiefdom of the four princes of Southwest China. The old man was dressed as a businessman. He looked about five or sixty years old, with a short beard, gray temples, ruddy complexion, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a fairy-like look. Daogu's appearance is only because of the rush of travel.

The young man next to him was about 30 years old, with a dark complexion, calm and strong, and a determined face. He was carrying a package and was supporting the old man. hansome.

Han Jun is the eldest son of Han Fu. Han Fusheng has two sons. The eldest son, Han Jun, was the commander of the frontier infantry. A magistrate.

Han Fu's second son, Han Yang, has always been kept by Han Fu's side to protect the prince. Many years ago, during a hunting trip, the Xian king was attacked by gangsters and died while defending the prince.

It can be said that the Han family has a life-saving grace to the virtuous king, so the virtuous king treats the Han family not only with trust, but also with gratitude.

Climbing up a small hill, King Xian was a little out of breath, so Han Jun helped King Xian sit down on a big rock to rest.

The sun is slightly drunk, the sky is blue, and the wind is very clear.

The virtuous king smiled kindly and said: "It can't be done, I'm old, it's useless, I think back then when I was riding a horse and whipping my whip, how can I expect to take a rest even climbing such a small hill."

Han Jun said to King Xian: "My lord, the hill in front of me should be the Jianzui Ridge that the mountain people said. After passing this hill, I should arrive at Hongmian Town. Hongmian Town should be guarded by the fourth prince's army. Master, you should not enter the city, I will go to investigate and make a decision, what do you think?"

King Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, we won't go into the city, nor Hongmian Town, let's go down the mountain and go directly to the southwest, and go into the mountain to have a look."

Han Jundao: "This is too dangerous. According to the report from the spies, the Southwest Mountain is where the Fourth Prince's army is stationed. If we head there rashly, I'm afraid the prince will be in danger."

"The fourth brother is not going to do anything to me, besides, we just go to see, and then go to Yuxi City to meet the fourth child." Xian Wang said.

Han Jun wanted to say something, but he held back. He understood King Xian's thoughts, he didn't want him to take risks alone, and insisted on going there in person. How about them, after all, it's not the time to be desperate.

At dusk, King Xian and Han Jun came to the mountain where the army was stationed. They walked around the hill quietly. From a distance on the mountain, they could see the flags flying in the valley. It must be the barracks where the army was stationed.

Han Jun was about to go on, but was stopped by King Xian, and said: "Why don't you go, look at the number of these flags, it is said that there are no less than [-] people here, we are not familiar with the terrain, so don't go there, if the fourth brother is here Fortunately, if you're not here, it might be dangerous, so let's go down the mountain and go to Yuxi City."

Finally, before it was completely dark, Xian Wang and Han Jun arrived at Yuxi City, and they found an inn to stay. When Xian Wang and Han Jun were discussing how to go to the Duke's Mansion of the Fourth Prince tomorrow, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Both King Xian and Han Jun were shocked.

Han Jun immediately became alert, reached for the sword, and carefully opened the door with the sword in his hand.

After opening the door, a stranger stood at the door, about forty years old, and said to Han Jun who opened the door with a smile: "Get off the horse, and by the order of my master, I invite the two of you to come to the village to talk. The carriage is already waiting for you two."

Han Jun raised his brows impatiently, and said coldly, "We don't know the owner of Guizhuang, so please go back."

As he was about to close the door, he still had a cold face, with an expression of refusal to be thousands of miles away. He has always been indifferent to this kind of person who feels good and even pretentious to make arrangements for others.

The man was still smiling, not angry at all. He quickly blocked Han Jun's movement to close the door, bowed to the people in the house, and said respectfully: "My little one, please greet the old man! I think the old man in the house Sir, I would like to see the owner of my family."

The wise king was surprised when he heard something in these words. People here are sparsely populated, and there are no familiar people. Besides, we came here in disguise. Could anyone recognize us?

King Xian thought for a while, could it be that the person who came was the fourth prince's person?

With a trace of peace in his eyebrows, the virtuous king said to Han Jun in a gentle voice: "If you come, you will be safe. Let's go to meet the owner of the villa. Please, sir, lead the way."

Han Jun followed King Xian with full vigilance, stared closely at the person who led the way, and came outside the passenger station. Sure enough, a large carriage was already waiting outside. Someone came to help King Xian get on the carriage, and the carriage was on its way. Run forward slowly.Han Jun led a fine horse that was driven over by someone, and the two followed each other on a horse.

When King Xian got into the carriage, he was taken aback!
The exterior of the carriage looks ordinary, it is really unpretentious, but the interior decoration can be said to be extremely luxurious.

The large tables and chairs are covered with soft brocade, and the horse is covered with a big tiger skin, and there are two brocade silk backrests behind it. On one side of the carriage is a sandalwood bookshelf, which is full of books.

There is a purple gold incense burner in front of the seat, and incense is being burned inside, and the fragrance is lingering.The floor of the carriage was covered with thick felt, which was soft. Although the road surface was a bit uneven, it was safe to sit in the carriage without feeling the carriage bumps at all.

Looking at the horse driver again, he is agile and well-trained, the virtuous king was puzzled, who is this villa owner, even if he is the fourth child, how could he be so skillful in this desolate place?
The carriage left the city and traveled west all the way, it was already dark, only the shadows of the mountains on both sides were hazy, there was no light, and the two big red lanterns in front of the carriage were particularly conspicuous.

The mountain road is silent, only the sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slabs can be heard.After about half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a manor gate.

Ma Quan jumped off the horse, walked out with the help of King Xian, and waited for King Xian to get off the carriage.

The virtuous king looked up and saw a magnificent gate of the manor, with the words "Yinyunzhuang" hanging on the forehead.

Ma Quan stepped forward and said to the nurse guarding the door: "Quickly go and report to the master, the honored guest said."

Han Jun held the sword tightly in his hand, stood in front of King Xian, and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

When I was young, the gate of the villa was opened wide, and I saw bright lights inside, and a group of people came out. Before the leader had left the gate, he laughed loudly and said: "Uncle is coming, and nephew has not come far to meet him. I still hope that uncle will make amends."

When King Xian was thinking about who this could be, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a golden crown and wearing a blue and white python robe, came out from the door.
