Previously, there were only Xia Hao and Xia Ziyan in the hall, but at this time, Xia Ziyan had left, and only Xia Hao was left in this hall, but what he said at this time seemed to be just talking to himself, but his words clearly seemed to be that there was a third person in the hall, and his words were for this person. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no need to wonder for too long, this third person has already come out, this person is thin, the clothes he wears are gray and simple, there is no second shade of smoke gray, but the light is only slightly brighter, you can see the gray and silver silk thread embroidered on the plain clothes of the double dragon play bead pattern is about to come out.

The young man stood still in the hall, before he could speak, his body had sunk and fallen, his knees were bent, he knelt on the ground, and his facial features when he raised his head were solemn, it was Xia Zihe, who had just left from the Su Tower not long ago, and his mouth was a pleading tone that he knew his mistake and changed it, and said, "Father Xie is sympathetic to his mother, and the mother concubine really loves her children too much, so she will be lost and make mistakes for a while." ”

His tone and expression were so sincere, but he only said this one sentence, and then he was silent, and did not continue to explain or indicate anything. The king was gracious, and it seemed that he should have taken this opportunity to say something good for himself or his mother in order to alleviate the poor situation. But silence also has the advantage of silence, and the beauty of stopping at the point is to avoid the depth of the topic, and avoid the questions about the murder of the prince that may be brought up or even questioned.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Xia Hao had raised his head from a distance, but he didn't know if his eyes had been on Xia Zihe, who was still kneeling on the ground. And Xia Zihe, who has always been fearless, also bowed his head respectfully at this moment, and never dared to look up at his father. Xia Hao seemed to have thought about something, and finally spoke slowly, his tone was as gentle as homely, "When I saw you coming today, I thought you were going to shout about grievances again, but I didn't expect you to think like this." This matter, if you really think that your mother did something wrong, seems to have grown a little. The lessons of the predecessors and the teachers of the future generations cannot follow your mother to make mistakes. It's all a family, even if the skin is torn, the bones and flesh are connected, and it hurts not only the hearts of the family, but also my country. ”

Xia Zihe thought that Xia Hao was going to continue, but he didn't answer, but Xia Hao's voice seemed to be a little impatient, and his voice suddenly raised a few points, "Understood?"

Xia Zihe's kneeling straight body was a little straighter, and he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he hurriedly raised his voice to answer. Xia Hao saw that he didn't explain anything to his mother or even himself, and knew that he had always been proud and arrogant, and it was rare to be so obedient, a smile rose on his lips, and the stern tone of the previous moment eased before Xia Zihe stood up and spoke, and said, "I know that you are a good boy, and your mother has not done a good job in this matter, so naturally there is a mistake and should be punished." Don't be wronged for your mother in your heart, this was originally a big deal, but I didn't study the feelings of the family, after all, I wronged your imperial brother. But this matter can't be said on the surface, but the Jiang family's side is still shouting injustice, which really annoys me. Now that you know what happened, you should relieve your father's worries and go back to Jiang's house, lest they still think they are wronged and spread to the ears of people who don't know what happened, and misunderstand that I am a confused emperor. ”

Seeing that Xia Hao ended the topic so casually, Xia Zihe naturally didn't dare to mention it again, and responded one by one, just about to say goodbye and leave. Xia Hao opened his mouth and asked him again, "Regarding the dissolved water rebellion, you also asked for orders to go to suppress the bandits before, after listening to your second brother's words, what do you think?"

Xia Zihe smiled and said cautiously, "When the child heard what his father said just now, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he agreed very much. ”

"A smart general will not fight a battle that cannot be won, you want to make meritorious service and ask for your life to go to suppress bandits, but tell me that you don't have any ideas, you have no confidence, and you will be chaotic when you encounter trouble, you won't understand this truth", seeing that Xia Zihe wanted to speak and stopped, Xia Hao said again, "If you are ordered to go to suppress bandits and encounter one of the three possibilities mentioned by your second brother, what should you do?"

Xia Zihe raised his head, the cautious look on his face had been retracted, and there was a hint of categorical decisiveness and coldness in his eyes, "Erchen thought to himself, there are no rules. Therefore, there are rules in the family, and the state has laws, but it must be punished before the law can be protected. Dissolving water and disturbing the people's desire to disrupt the stability of the country, not following the rule of law, and disrespecting the imperial court, is already a repeat offense. Therefore, no matter what the possibility is, we should quickly cut through the mess from the source and protect the law by punishment. If anyone deliberately shields and does not report what he knows, he is guilty of an accomplice and must be severely punished. If the accessory is willing to expose the principal offender, the offence may be mitigated. Otherwise, those who don't know what to do should be an example to the monkeys. The law of chaos is to be the first soldier and then salute, and then appease the people after the chaos is quelled, and everything is worry-free. ”

Xia Hao smiled at the corner of his lips, and the gaze that fell on Xia Zihe was leisurely, and he didn't seem to have any objections, but because the two were too far apart before, the sight looked a little faint, and he felt that a pair of black eyes were deep and difficult to discern. There was a cicada outside the window, but after one or two sounds, it was immediately pounced on by the palace people who were guarding, so the outside of the palace soon returned to its previous quietness.

"It's not enough to talk on paper, and no matter how thoughtful you are. Moreover, this matter is related to people's livelihood, and it must be done in practice. It's hard for you to share your father's worries, so I'll give you a chance. You've got all your ideas, and all you need is a few right-hand men by your side. The Ministry of War has to send people, the Ministry of Household has to send people, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has to send people, and this time to dissolve the water, the Ministry of War is the main force accompanying it, and in the early dynasty, Mu Shangshu of the Ministry of War mentioned a person, who was the new Squire of the Ministry of War, as if his surname was Xie. Since this person is strongly recommended by Mu Shangshu, he must have some ability, and he is also from the south, so he should be familiar with the affairs of the south, so let him go with you, as for the other household and criminal departments, what kind of people do you need, you can choose it yourself. After the person is selected, report to the ministry and then let the Chinese book draw up the will and issue it. ”

Hearing this, Xia Zihe raised his head, with such a bright and pure smile, and washed the contempt and sorrow between his eyebrows, like a young man of his age, innocent, romantic and full of enthusiasm. He arched his hands and thanked him happily, "Thank you for your father's permission, my son will do his best and will never disappoint my father." ”
