Chapter 370: Awakening
sent Mr. Ma away, and asked Yuwen Xiucheng and the others to go back first, and Xiao Jingxuan seemed to be afraid that he would be seen by Xiao Lingtian and attract an angry scolding, so he quietly slipped out of the palace while there were many people in chaos. As for his father, all his thoughts are on his son who is asleep and unawake at the moment, so naturally he has no time to find trouble with him.
Yu Xiaoxiang knelt on Xiao Yichen's cushion, looking at the face in front of her that the blood color had faded, as if it was pale like a zombie, and all Linglong thought of in her heart was his smile on his face, sometimes indifferent as water, sometimes as happy as fire, sometimes cunning like a fox, and sometimes warm and condensing jade.
"Fool, it's so uncomfortable, why do you still have to accommodate others and take them around to play?" When he said this sentence in his heart, two lines of tears fell on his pretty face unconsciously, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Xiao Lingtian, Xiao Muxing, and Xiao Feixing sat on the other side, except for a few whispered conversations, they just waited quietly, as if they would never let go of their hearts until the sleeping man in front of them woke up.
An hour later, the long eyelashes that covered the eyes trembled slightly, and after a few moments, they had slowly opened.
Yu Xiaoxiang, who had been staring at Xiao Yichen, was the first to find out, and instantly stretched out his mantis head, and blurted out with a bit of surprise: "You're awake!"
As soon as the delicate voice sounded, Xiao Lingtian and the others immediately rushed over, unceremoniously occupied a corner of the cushion, reached out to hold Xiao Yichen's palm, and asked softly, "Qinglong'er, do you feel better?"
"Father, the son has embarrassed you. It seemed that after a little recollection, Xiao Yichen remembered what happened before, and after saying a word, he wanted to get up but seemed a little weak.
"I'll come, I'll come. Xiao Feixing saw that Yu Xiaoxiang was really struggling to move Xiao Yichen alone, so he immediately stepped forward, helped his body with one hand, and stuffed a bunch of pillows and other things under him with one hand, so that he could sit more comfortably.
Nodding to Xiao Feixing was a thank you, Xiao Yichen's eyes instantly fell on his father's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Father, the son still has some words that he hasn't finished saying before, and I want to say these words alone to my father." The national policy of no tax on farmers must not be changed. This strategy is the best weapon used by the ancestors of my Xiao royal family to buy the hearts of the people. If the agricultural tax is reopened, it will be equivalent to handing over this sharp blade to someone else. As far as the sons themselves are concerned, the father is very gracious, and the fiefs given to the sons are as many as eight star fields. If the retainer resigns from his military position one day and returns to the fiefdom. Not to mention, if the retainers have different aspirations, as long as they pay the agricultural tax according to the imperial tax law, and then return a part of the income from the territory of the retainers to those peasants on the grounds that they cannot bear the suffering of the people, how will those people think of the retainers and their fathers? It won't be long before the majesty of the royal family is gone. If it is instigated by someone with a heart, I am afraid that my father will become synonymous with a faint monarch and a tyrant in the hearts of the people. And those clans who put forward this policy, but then used the means, will become good people who love the people like sons! Father, this matter is related to imperial power, and it must not be ...... Father, what did the son say wrong, why are you crying?"
Raising his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, Xiao Lingtian smiled hard and said to Xiao Yichen: "Qinglong'er, what you said about your father and emperor has been recorded, whoever talks about reopening agricultural taxes will treat him for the great crime of rebellion for his father! Father...... Father...... It's ...... to see that you just woke up and planned for your father."
"Father!" Xiao Yichen finally understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "The boss is not a small person, Erchen still thought that something had upset you, and he was going to give Erchen a knife, so he shed a few tears first, and was so frightened that he almost prepared to flee back to Lingxiao Palace!"
"Stinky boy!" Xiao Lingtian raised his hand to wipe away the last trace of tears, and said with a smile: "With such an unconscious son as you, Lao Tzu doesn't have to wipe his tears every day. ”
"Yes, yes, it's all the fault of the sons, who made you a saint, you have a big fist, you can't do it if you're afraid?" Xiao Yichen said insincerely.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen could speak and laugh, everyone's mood was a little lighter, and laughter also sounded.
After chatting casually, Xiao Yichen seemed to have thought of something, and his physical strength seemed to have recovered a lot, so he propped up his body and said: "Father, tomorrow is the day to entertain the envoys of various countries, and the son, as a prince, naturally has to attend." Too much time has been wasted today, and Rong Erchen will return to the palace, so he will arrange to bring elite men and horses into the palace tomorrow to protect his father. ”
"It's just to entertain some envoys, these things are arranged by Xiao Cheng and Ouyang Chen by the father's association, you are not in good health, and you won't use it tomorrow. Xiao Lingtian kept pinching Xiao Yichen's palm and refused to let go, and said softly: "Don't go back to Lingxiao Palace, I've been resting in my cultivation hall these days, and my father hasn't talked to you for a long time." ”
"No, I can't. Xiao Yichen shook his head, and said after flatly refusing: "Father doesn't know, the son and Asahi Seisuke met a few days ago, and I am sure that he has a top master by his side. Such a person, if mixed in with the mission, is difficult to be detected. If the son is not there, that person will suddenly be in trouble, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xiaosi to be safe when he is by his father's side. Erchen had already thought that when they entered the palace, Erchen must be by his father's side, and in addition, he also asked his father's permission to bring the six masters of the Hidden Dragon Guard, so that they could cooperate with his father's True Dragon Guard, so that even if it was three Tianhui Xin, it was impossible to threaten his father at all. ”
"But......" Xiao Lingtian just wanted to say that Xiao Yichen's body had already been snatched by him.
"Erchen's body is unharmed, at least he still has the strength to fight. If the retainers are not there, it will be difficult to sleep and eat, and they will be frightened, which will be very bad. And please ask for your father's permission. Xiao Yichen said loudly without change.
Xiao Feixing glanced at his father, and when he saw that he was giving him a look, he could only stubbornly say: "Third brother, you bring Long Yi, Long Er, and a few of them, plus me, how can it be enough for Tianhuixin to drink a pot, you can rest well." ”
"Every time the Nine Dragons Jue is a big realm, the strength is several times worse. If you join forces, you may not be the opponent of this king, so how can you take Tianhui Xin lightly? My father is the foundation of the empire, and the eldest brother of the crown prince must also be present, in case that Asahi Seisuke is not afraid of life and death, and orders them to assassinate, wouldn't it be to let the empire fall into ruin? Xiaosi, this matter is not allowed to be said again. Xiao Yichen immediately refused without thinking about it.
