After discussing the funeral matters, Shao Mingyuan quietly left the Li Mansion, but saw Jiang Yuanchao standing in front of the next house waiting.

Jiang Yuanchao did not wear the clothes of the brocade scale guard today, but wore a dark blue straight jacket, looking like an elegant scholar.

Seeing Shao Mingyuan coming over, Jiang Yuanchao smiled: "Master Hou won't invite me in to sit?" ”

Shao Mingyuan glanced at Jiang Yuanchao and said lightly, "Lord Jiang, please." ”

The two entered the next house together.

There were stone tables and benches in the courtyard, and the two of them sat down there without entering the house.

The guards served tea, Shao Mingyuan motioned for them to retreat, looked at Jiang Yuanchao and said, "I don't know what happened to Lord Jiang?" ”

Jiang Yuanchao stared at Shao Mingyuan for a moment, curled his lips and smiled: "Hou Ye didn't have a summons to Beijing, isn't he worried at all?" ”

Shao Mingyuan put down the teacup and looked calm: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

"Master Hou is like this, it makes it difficult for me to do it." Jiang Yuanchao said unhurriedly,

Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, where he still felt a faint pain because he had just hit the door frame.

"What is so difficult for Master Jiang to do? In his position, he seeks his own government, although he reports what he has done to the emperor. ”

Jiang Yuanchao's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Shao Mingyuan: "Master Hou, is this sure that the emperor will not be angry?" ”

"Lord Jiang laughed, how dare Ben Hou speculate on the holy will."

Jiang Yuanchao stared at Shao Mingyuan tightly, as if he didn't want to let go of the slightest change in his expression: "Then can Master Hou tell me the reason for his sudden return to Beijing?" ”

Shao Mingyuan suddenly smiled: "This is Ben Hou's private matter, and it seems that there is no need to explain it to Lord Jiang." ”

Jiang Yuanchao smiled slightly, and stood up: "I advise Hou Ye to leave Beijing quickly and cover up this matter, otherwise even if I can turn a blind eye, I'm afraid Lan Shoufu's side won't be reconciled." ”

After Jiang Yuanchao finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Shao Mingyuan to sit quietly for a while, and summoned the guards: "Prepare the horse!" ”

Previously, Shao Mingyuan ran thousands of miles and killed two war horses, the inner sides of his legs had already been worn out, and when he heard that he wanted to ride a horse, the guards were a little unbearable: "General, do you still want to ride a horse?" ”

Shao Mingyuan glanced at him lightly: "Talk a lot!" ”

The guards looked grim, and they didn't dare to persuade again, so they hurriedly brought the horses.

Shao Mingyuan turned over and got on the horse, but instead of going back to the Champion Hou Mansion, let alone going to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, he went straight to the Imperial City.

Ming Kangdi has been in a bad mood recently.

The Tartar came to the door, forcing him to let Shao Mingyuan deal with it, and the Japanese in the south did not stop, and even Xi Jiang, who had always been a man with his tail between his legs, began to be restless, really upset!

The upset and irritable Ming Kangdi had the urge to immediately retreat out of sight, but when he thought of the consequences of the previous retreats, his reason immediately returned.

Bear with me!

Wei Wuxian bowed his head and hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou asks to see you." ”

"I'm going to do my homework soon, no." Emperor Ming Kangdi looked impatient, and his face changed after speaking, "Wait, who did you just say asked to see?" ”

"Crown, Champion Hou—" Wei Wuxian buried his head even lower.

"Tell me again!" Ming Kangdi gritted his teeth.

Wei Wuxian resisted the urge to wipe his sweat, and felt that his cheeks hurt: "Back to the emperor, it is the champion Hou who has come to ask for a meeting." ”

There is no emperor so tormenting, if you want to get angry, you can't hurry, you have to say it over and over again, whose careful liver can bear it!

Emperor Ming Kangdi didn't know about Wei Wuxie's slander, and said with a gloomy face: "Xuan Champion Hou come in." ”

Wei Wuxian quietly exhaled and stepped back, calling Shao Mingyuan in.

Shao Mingyuan knelt on one knee and saluted Emperor Ming Kang.

Emperor Ming Kang condescendingly looked at the young general kneeling on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.

This little king and eight lambs actually appeared in his golden palace, what the hell is going on?

Emperor Ming Kangdi didn't speak, and Shao Mingyuan naturally knelt honestly.

Staring at the young man's upright figure, Ming Kangdi sneered silently.

Isn't it nice to kneel, then let me kneel down, can't I push you out and cut off your head at the moment, can't I make your knees swollen?

Shao Mingyuan, who was kneeling on the cold gold brick in silver armor, thought silently: The pair of knee pads that Zhao Zhao made for him are still quite practical.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ming Condi felt that the pressure was almost exerted, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Shao Mingyuan stood up.

"Champion Hou, I remember that you led the troops to the battle, right? Why is it here? ”

"Back to the emperor, Prince Beiqi Tazhen was shot by Weichen, and the northern land won a great victory-"

"Really?" Before Shao Mingyuan finished speaking, Emperor Ming Kangdi stood up from the dragon chair.

"Wechen doesn't dare to bully the king."

"Good, good kill, good kill!" Ming Kangdi couldn't help laughing, and the gloomy mood of the past few days was swept away, and it was much more pleasing to the eyes when he looked at the young man with handsome eyebrows below.

In the end, he is the top general of the beam, and with him in charge, he is not worried about injustice.

But—

After the initial joy, Ming Kangdi's mind sank, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Because he was not called to Beijing after winning the battle, where did the champion Hou put him, the emperor? Do you think that now Liang Liang has to be lawless?

He can enter Beijing without being summoned this time, so will he be able to break into the imperial city with his personal guards next time?

The more Emperor Ming Kangdi thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, and the more unhappy he became when he looked at Shao Mingyuan again.

Why didn't he find out before, the eyes of Champion Hou and Zhenyuan Hou are really similar! He ordered the entire clan of Zhenyuan Marquis to be exterminated, as the only surviving orphan, how could there be no resentment in his heart?

"Champion Hou Wuzhao entered Beijing, is he going to report this great news to me as soon as possible?" Ming Kangdi Liangliang asked.

Shao Mingyuan lowered his head slightly, and put on a respectful posture: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is in a hurry to enter Beijing, not for this reason. ”

"Well, then tell me why you went to Beijing."

After Weichen shot Prince Tazhen, he went back to the camp to rest, and suddenly dreamed that he accompanied the emperor on a patrol, and on the way, a mountain suddenly collapsed and pressed the emperor. After waking up, the minister was relieved, so he hurried back to escort him non-stop. Weichen was not summoned to Beijing and was deeply responsible, please punish Your Majesty. ”

"You had such a dream?" Ming Kangdi was surprised.

This morning, Zhang Tianshi said after divination, Zhou Xing has been up and down recently, and Yu Dixing is in the way, if Ziwei is at the same degree as Jiangxing, the country and the people will be safe, should it be here?

Addicted to the Avenue of Immortality for many years, Emperor Ming Kangdi was convinced of this, looked at Shao Mingyuan expressionlessly for a moment, and showed a faint smile: "Since you are back, then go back to the house and stay in peace. ”

"The emperor is merciful, and the ministers thank the lord Longen."

Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty was about to send Shao Mingyuan away, when Wei Wuxian got the news from the little eunuch and reported: "Your Majesty, Shoufu Lanshan asks to see you." ”

"What is he doing at this time?" Emperor Ming Kang looked at Shao Mingyuan, pondered for a moment and pointed to the corner screen, signaling him to take shelter there, and then nodded lightly at Wei Wuxie.
