King Tai, also known as Cheng Ming, was the second son of the former emperor, that is, Cheng Zheng's second brother, when the former emperor was still there, Cheng Ming was only the second prince.

However, isn't this Cheng Zheng already enthroned?

After Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, according to the usual practice, the princes of the previous emperors also got the canonization, and then let him leave Shengjing.

At this point, Cheng Zheng's actions seem to be quite different.

In order to show his generosity, he named his two older brothers as kings. The eldest brother was crowned King of Liao, and the second brother Cheng Ming was crowned King of Thailand.

Of course, this is just a matter of Lord Guangban,

As for all the treatment that the prince should have, such as fiefs, rewards and other things, except for a few, there are none.

That's a pretty name.

From this point of view, Cheng Zheng is still relatively stubborn in nature.

He gave some nominal things generously, but he gave substantive things very stingy, so that people around him couldn't help but complain.

As Zeng Cheng Zheng's rivals for the crown prince, even if they were crowned kings, they wouldn't end well. They were usually trapped in their mansion and guarded by a lot of people.

The guard said unceremoniously that it was even stricter than the Heavenly Prison in Shengjing. Unless there was an astral body, it would be unimaginable for ordinary people to get out of it.

For the two Guangban princes who failed to seize the throne, this kind of treatment was already enough, and there would be no problem in thinking about it.

In the end, I didn't expect that, even so, people would still run away.

Cheng Zheng's wine immediately sobered up, and he had a lot of thoughts in his spare time.

He thought of many things.

Who is helping the King of Thailand out of trouble?

There is no doubt that someone will help, otherwise, just relying on a completely defeated Thai king, what ability does he have to run out under Cheng Zheng's eyelids?

What is the purpose of the other party to help King Thai get out of trouble, so as to save people quietly, this can't be an ordinary person.

Then what was the purpose of them taking the King of Thailand away?

With all kinds of thoughts entangled in his heart, Cheng Zheng couldn't help frowning.

"Considering Liu Guogong facing this situation, Cheng Zheng subconsciously wanted to call Liu Chu, but stopped halfway through the call.

Liu Chu was taken down to rest early, and now he is probably more drunk than he is, and he can still do things.

"Call Chen Guogong over for me."

Turning around in his head, he finally thought for a moment before speaking.

The person in front of him nodded and said yes, and quickly turned around.

Then just a moment later, Chen An's figure appeared in front of Cheng.

The rate can be said to be leveraged.

Looking at Chen An, who was still tall and straight, with a calm demeanor, and didn't look drunk at all, Cheng Zheng felt a little emotional.

Sure enough, at the critical moment, Chen An in front of him is more reliable.

Drinking is really wrong!

Fortunately for him, Chen An didn't know this, otherwise he would have complained in his heart that you were the one who made the drinking, and you were the one who said that the drinking was a mistake.

Of course, he definitely didn't know this in his heart, so his face was still very calm. After seeing Cheng Zheng, he just bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Chang'an, something happened to King Tai."

The people present were all his own people, and Cheng Zheng didn't hesitate at all, and directly ordered: "You immediately lead someone to block the city gate and bring back the King of Thailand."

"If anyone dares to stop him, he will kill him immediately!"

There was a murderous aura in the light words, and it seemed that he really had murderous intentions.

Chen An paused for a while, then nodded slowly: "My minister follows the order."

It is late at night now.

The gates in Shengjing have long since closed.

There is a curfew everywhere.

In the past, Shengjing should be very quiet all over the place. Except for a few places, there are basically no people. This is the era when there is no nightlife. This is basically the case in cities at night.

But tonight, everywhere seemed so unusual.

"Fight the fire! Put out the fire!"

"Help!"

Within Shengjing, several neighborhoods were on fire at the same time, and people calling for help were everywhere.

This is a big problem.

Most of the houses in Shengjing are made of wood, which is easy to catch fire. However, some areas where civilians live are often crowded in order to save space.

It's easy to say at the moment, but once the fire catches fire at this moment, there will be a big problem.

At this moment, the guards in the city have already gone to put out the fire.

If there is no accident, even if the fire is saved, it is estimated that many people will die.

The icy cold air permeated the four directions, swallowing everything like an invisible angry dragon.

Pieces of water were sprinkled directly into the air, and then a frightening scene appeared out of thin air.

Chen An walked between the burning houses on foot.

The pressing heat from all over the place was surging towards him, but it didn't seem to have the slightest effect, and it couldn't stop Chen An's progress at all.

He just walked forward.

Walking along the road, crystals spread on the ground automatically, and frost enveloped everything, blocking the fire abruptly.

People everywhere stared blankly, not knowing what to say and some people who knew what to do, looking at Chen An's figure with complicated expressions.

Fire is not uncommon. It happens every few years, and it happens often.

It's really rare for a gangster to act as a firefighter with his own hands.

Maybe Shengjing is lucky to have never seen this group of people in the past.

There is no return, but the effect is really good.

Zun Gangqi personally acted as a consumer, and the fire everywhere was quickly contained.

Although there are still large areas that have not been extinguished, the remaining ones after the most dangerous and terrifying places are controlled are naturally nothing to be afraid of.

Chen An walked in this area, his eyes around him.

hard!

A figure appeared in front of him in an instant, and was quickly shot and flew out by Chen An, directly beating him seriously.

"Sure enough, someone was deliberately fighting fire."

Looking at the person who appeared at his feet, Chen An couldn't help frowning.

This fire happened too coincidentally. It happened at the juncture where the King of Thailand disappeared. No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit abnormal. From the current situation, it was mostly done deliberately by someone to distract attention. , mobilize the guards in Shengjing to create opportunities.

It is not a trivial matter for this idea to catch fire, and a bad loss will be especially heavy.

Once it happens, the entire Shengjing guards must be mobilized.

"Take the person down and interrogate him well."

After walking around, looking at the man under his feet, Chen An said lightly and said that someone would soon step forward and take this man down.

In the time that followed, news from all over the place came together one after another.

"Sir, none of the three city gates to the north are abnormal!"

"The two city gates on the west side are all right!"

"The gate to the east is still safe!"

"What about the south side?"

Chen An surrounded the surroundings with a grim expression: "If I remember correctly, there are also three gates there."

"pattern"

The people below looked at each other in dismay, and after a while, one person came out bravely and said, "Sir, the gates in the south are too far apart, and there are still people who have been sent to investigate and still haven't returned.

This is true.

As the capital of Dahua, Shengjing occupies a large area. In order to facilitate entry and exit, there are naturally a large number of city gates set up everywhere. It is not so easy to find out in a short time. No one will come back for a while. It's a very reasonable thing to do.

However, it is reasonable and reasonable, but it is somewhat out of place.

After all, the soldiers are very fast, and when those who have been investigating in the past come back, maybe that group of people will have already run out.

"Did the embassy check it?"

Chen An continued to ask, "Are the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty still there?"

"The lights are on in the embassy, ​​and the sound of reading books is heard from time to time. I think they are all inside."

Someone responded.

"The sound of reading?"

Chen An immediately frowned, then raised his head abruptly: "Go, go to the south gate!"

He didn't say anything else, he took the people away, leaving only the other people with beautiful faces and looking at each other.

Of course, among the crowd, there were still a few people whose faces changed slightly. Looking at the figure of Chen An leaving, their faces were filled with disbelief. dress up.

Outside the official road, a carriage was driving on the road with several people sitting in it.

Cheng Ming was dressed in plain clothes, and his face looked a little tired. Compared with the past, he also looked a little thinner now, and he looked a lot more tempered.

In the past half a year, he has not endured less hardships.

This is very natural. After all, he is Cheng Zheng's political enemy in the past. He has offended the emperor today. What good fruit do you want to eat?

It is good to be alive.

So even if he was dressed in plain clothes, but he was able to take it out from Shengjing, Cheng Ming's face looked pretty good, with a smile on his face, looking at the old man in front of him: "Gu can leave Shengjing this time, thanks to Liu old man.

The King of Thailand is polite. "

Sitting across from Cheng Ming is none other than Liu Sheng.

Looking at Cheng Ming in front of him, he also had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty and I are very saddened by such a change in His Royal Highness. Your country is in power at the moment, but the moment you ascend to the throne, the court and the opposition are full of resentment."

"At this critical moment, it is necessary for a wise king like you, His Royal Highness, to stand up and serve the country."

"Otherwise, Dahua's hundreds of years of foundation, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in the hands of Yongjun."

"You're welcome, sir."

Cheng Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can Gu be considered a virtuous king, if it wasn't for your rescue, Mr. Liu, I am afraid that sooner or later, I would have been trapped in Shengjing.

"But as you said, sir, now that the emperor is in power, the people are complaining, and they are planning for the world, so I can only follow the people's hearts."

He said with deep emotion, looking at it like this, it really looks like that.

I don't know how much he loves the people.

If Cheng Zheng was here, he would probably have a good talk with him now.

But Liu Sheng obviously would not argue with Cheng Ming.

He just nodded in agreement.

"That's right, the world is in chaos, and we need a wise king like His Royal Highness to be born."

He cupped his hands and said seriously, "This old man and even the entire Song Dynasty are willing to help His Highness."

"Lao Liu, don't worry.

Xing Ming also smiled and assured: "If the widow can seize the world, trace the origin and become the king, in the future, it will be a good relationship with the Song Dynasty from generation to generation, so as to form a marriage between the two countries."

"Hahaha, that could not be better."

In between, one of the two dared to say it, and the other fell on the field, and the atmosphere in the carriage also seemed extremely warm for a while. Seeing this, it seemed that they were eager to bow down.

Of the two, Cheng Ming seemed to be in a good mood.

After being trapped in the mansion for a long time, once he got out of the trap, he suddenly felt a sense of being trapped in a dragon, and his heart was very happy, and he was about to do something great.

As for Liu Chu on the side, he is not so optimistic.

"The fire just now should be able to delay it for a while, I hope no one will come after it."

Liu Sheng looked around, and began to urge the driver in front of him to hurry.

"Mr. Liu, you filtered it out.

Cheng Ming couldn't help but smile: "With the people you brought, sir, whether they can catch up or not, what if they can catch up?"

With Duke Yang here, even if someone dared to catch up, it would be nothing more than a trivial matter. "

Cheng Ming said with a smile.

He is the prince of Dahua. After so many years in the Dahua Dynasty, do you still understand the situation of the whole Dahua?

In the entire Dahua, there are indeed many powerful warriors, and there are not a few strong qi.

But the problem is that although these people belong to the Dahua court, it is not so easy to mobilize them.

Some of the gangsters who were canonized as princes like Chen Guogong of the previous generation basically retreated in their own mansions and would not stay in Shengjing for long.

If you want to mobilize, you must order the emperor in person, and then send the will over there. It's too late.

There is naturally aura in the clan, but basically it also has its own purpose.

One guards the mausoleum of the Great Ancestor of Dahua, and he must not be taken lightly. The other guards the ancestral temple, and he also retreats all the year round, and the other is in the north to help defend against the northern state of Lu.

There are only two clan worshipers who really stay in Shengjing, and they also need to guard the inner court, so they will not appear easily.

To put it mildly, Cheng Zheng has just ascended the throne, so in such a short time, he might not be able to mobilize those two clans, let alone others.

After all, in this world, Gang Qi is a top-level talent, and it can be called a weapon to control the country.

Yi Cheng seemed very relaxed, thinking that most of the time no one could catch up.

But Liu Sheng was obviously not as relaxed as Cheng Zheng was in his heart.

"The other people around Emperor Dahua are nothing, except for the commander-in-chief of the guards beside him, that Chen Guogong is a hero and a trouble.

Liu Sheng sighed and said.

The new Chen Guogong, Chen Changan?

Cheng Ming immediately frowned.

He was locked in the mansion for more than half a year, and he was somewhat obtuse about news from the outside world. Although he knew that Chen An had become the new Chen Guogong, he was still a little unclear about what happened.

In the final analysis, this is because he has been detained for a long time, and has been somewhat out of touch with society.

"Speaking of which, His Highness seems to have recruited that Duke Chen. I wonder if you can know about that Duke Chen?"

Liu Sheng said suddenly.

As for Chen An's news, he is very concerned about it. After all, this is such a young Gang Qi, whether it is from the enemy or other perspectives, it is necessary to understand as much as possible.

Of course, if possible, I would also like to try to win over one or two, to see if I can pull Chen Guogong from Dahua and let him join Da Song. No matter how low the probability of this matter is, it should always be tried.

What if you see a ghost?

However, Cheng Ming disappointed Liu Sheng.

As for Liu Sheng's question, he put his hands together and his eyes were blank.

Can he know any news about Chen An?

His impression of Chen An was still the flatterer of the past.

On the one hand, he was locked in the mansion and could not receive news. On the other hand, Chen An himself kept a low profile at all times and did not disclose his own information at all.

The camouflage is really good.

Under this circumstance, Cheng Ming can still be expected to know what specific news to say is unpleasant. What he knows, I am afraid that Liu Shengduo is not in front of him. At least he is a serious official of the Song Dynasty. I don't know how much news there is.

"Is that Chen Guogong important?"

Seeing Liu Sheng's repeated inquiries, Cheng Ming was a little puzzled.

"nature."

Liu Sheng nodded, and was about to explain: "That Chen Guogong...

There was a crisp sound from the repairing surface, and the carriage stopped abruptly along with the sound of horses neighing.

Liu Sheng immediately frowned: "What's going on?"

Without any hesitation, he immediately got out of the carriage.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but be stunned to see that in front of him, on the long and narrow official road, there was an extra person.

More importantly, Liu Sheng is no stranger to this person, and he was even talking about "Chen Guogong!"

Fu Lai exclaimed, several figures on horseback walking beside the carriage exclaimed~lightnovelpub.net~ It seems that all the old acquaintances are here."

Ahead, Chen An's voice came over, and at this moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Good guy.

In front of him, Zhao Jun, Qin Wan, the Song Guotianjiao who had discussed with him before, were all there.

Looking more closely, Liu Sheng also got out of the carriage and stood in front of Chen An, "Mr. Liu, what are you doing?"

Looking at Liu Sheng who was walking out of the carriage, Chen An said lightly, "But I, Dahua, were not well entertained, so that you have to go back to the Song Kingdom at night without even saying hello?"

Your country's hospitality is rich, but we have important things to do, so we can only be rude. "

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It's Chen Guogong, how did he find us?"

"I admit that my hands and feet are very clean. Even if someone should catch up, it wouldn't be so fast, but Chen Guogong still found him."

Yes, hands and feet are clean.

, He also asked people to prevent fire in Shengjing, divert their attention, and also made people do tricks on several gates in the south, and keep all the people who will investigate in the future, making it impossible to judge which gate they are looking for. Even if someone suspected them and went to the embassy where they lived, they could only find those who left behind disguise.

In the middle few links, if you hesitate and delay for a little time, you will never catch up with them.

But even so, he was still able to catch up, but Liu Sheng was really puzzled.

"It's actually very simple." Facing Liu Sheng's doubts, Chen An said lightly, "I guess."
