Chapter 209: Promoted to the Throne of the Concubine
Huo Xiao really wanted to take out the handkerchief again to wipe his sweat, and the emperor's uncle could be regarded as having a heart-to-heart connection with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He originally wanted to say that Mu Yingfei's sudden departure from Beijing was too coincidental, but it was difficult to speak, so as not to arouse greater suspicion of Emperor Yongtai.
It was easy for the emperor's uncle to bring the topic to the Mu family, and of course he would not miss the opportunity to "fall into the ground".
He was a little embarrassed: "General Zhennan has always been loyal and brave, so he shouldn't be ...... However, General Mu Shao is young and is accustomed to the title of 'Jade-faced Yama', so he thinks it will be more deterrent to the water bandits. ”
In fact, he just wanted to remind His Majesty the Emperor that Mu Yingfei's eldest son was not yet twenty years old, so General Zhennan was also in the prime of life, and it should be more than enough to deal with the bandits, and he really didn't need the jade-faced Yama to go into battle in person.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongtai had a look of hesitation on his face, and he paused for a moment before saying, "But I have already agreed to his request, and I can't go back on my word." ”
Huo Xiao said secretly, sure enough, the emperor's uncle trusted and relied on the Mu family very much, and there were some things that he must not say clearly now.
The so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods must have stronger evidence to prove that the Mu family has a heart of disobedience, otherwise instead of bringing down the Mu family, it will startle the snake.
He smiled lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, in a year and a half, you will summon him into the capital again, not to mention that now that General Mu Shao is married and has a wife, he will definitely leave the young lady in the capital if he goes in a hurry this time." ”
Emperor Yongtai bowed slightly, no matter how much he trusted Mu Jian, Mu Yingfei and Huo Xiao were not comparable, and the Lu family was not Yuan Yuan.
Huo Xiao went to the northwest garrison, he could allow Yuan Yuan to go with him, and if he was Mu Yingfei, it would be absolutely impossible for them to leave together.
He patted Huo Xiao on the shoulder and said: "In this case, you can pack up and settle down as soon as possible, and take the five thousand cavalry of the Beida Battalion to Wanquan Dusi, if the matter is really as urgent as your father said, I will allow you to take over the power in Liao Yuan's hands, and all the men and horses of the eleven guards and seven thousand households will be mobilized by you, and you must guard the northern gate for me and the thousands of people of the Great Zhou!"
Huo Xiao said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, Che'er will definitely try his best to protect the Great Zhou without losing an inch of land." ”
Emperor Yongtai said again: "I still keep the position of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for you and Mu Yingfei, but you still need someone to do things during your absence, do you think it is better to temporarily take the position of commander?"
He had to admit that his nephew was indeed capable, but in a few months, he was able to subdue the soldiers of the Terracotta Division.
Since he was leaving, it would be easier to convince people to replace him with someone he trusted for the time being.
Huo Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Just let my former deputy general Feng Ji take over." ”
Emperor Yongtai nodded: "Okay, a new generation of people will replace the old, and you young people should also learn to take the lead." ”
While he was talking, Liu Shun came back and said that lunch had been prepared, and His Majesty and the little prince were invited to eat.
The two nephews walked out of the imperial study hand in hand and came to the dining room.
Taking advantage of the time to go to the clean room to change clothes, Emperor Yongtai sighed: "Che'er, my uncle feels that he is not very old, but he has been feeling a little powerless from time to time recently. ”
If he hadn't always been determined enough, Huo Xiao would have almost burst into laughter.
Uncle Emperor's words are too easy to make people think crookedly, okay!
At the beginning of the year, so many young and beautiful show girls were just selected to enter the palace, and they were "overwhelmed" in just a few months?
Seeing that the sky was holding back a smile, Emperor Yongtai pretended to shout: "You stinky boys are holding back all day long!"
Huo Xiao touched his nose very innocently and said, "Che'er didn't think about anything, it was my uncle who thought crookedly."
Emperor Yongtai gave him a blank look: "I mean that the position of the king of a country is really too tiring, state affairs can never be dealt with, and family affairs are also a mess, your aunt and uncle...... Alas, I don't talk about her today.
Let's just say that the third concubine, I was supposed to assist in the harem together, and there was some messy things, today your son beat my son, tomorrow I will slap you again, even the princesses are not worried, yesterday Ruihua actually dared to go to Concubine Shu to lift the table, you tell me what kind of this is!"
Of course, Huo Xiao knew about Princess Ruihua flipping the table in Cuiwei Palace, but was it really good for the emperor's uncle to even tell him this kind of thing?
When did he become the object of complaint for the king of a country?
But since it comes to this, he always has to solve problems for His Majesty the Emperor, doesn't he?
Huo Xiao said with a smile: "Uncle don't be upset, teeth and tongue are still fighting, not to mention that you also know, the women in the courtyard of the deep mansion have nothing to do all day long, don't they just rely on fighting to pass the time, anyway, the princesses can't make trouble in the small circle of the harem, you just turn a blind eye and pass the time." ”
Emperor Yongtai shook his head: "Alas...... Too many women are trouble!"
Huo Xiao is even more funny, you can send them all away if you think it's troublesome, but are you willing to do it?
"Yes, there is a total of one woman around you, so naturally I don't know how troublesome it is to have more women. Emperor Yongtai turned his head to look at him and said with a wicked smile: "I don't know how much fun there is." ”
Huo Xiao said with a sour face: "You spare Che'er, I can't handle a Yuanyuan!"
Emperor Yongtai sneered lightly: "Look at your little bit of talent! But the wife is still different, although your aunt has all kinds of shortcomings, but she is indeed a good hand at taking care of the back house, and now she has taken advantage of the recurrence of the old disease to do nothing, and the harem is not in a mess!"
Huo Xiao's heart moved, and he followed his words: "If the so-called name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done, the ladies and ladies of the harem have the means to be in charge, it is nothing more than not seeking politics in their positions, the reason why the queen mother can be calmed down is that her uncle gave her that identity."
Moreover, it is a truth that the director of the family fights with the army, and the most important thing is to enforce orders and prohibitions, and there are too many people in charge, who has the final say?"
There are some things he can only say here, the three concubines are in charge of the harem together, and the position is quite powerful, so it's strange if it's not messy!
Emperor Yongtai pondered for a moment, and patted Huo Xiao's shoulder heavily: "Your kid has really grown up, the big truth is a set, let's go, eat first, and I don't know when it will be when I will accompany my uncle to eat next time." ”
Huo Xiao's dazzling phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and he believed that the emperor's uncle must have understood his hint.
With my uncle's character, it won't be long before I make a decision.
After lunch and receiving the holy decree, Huo Xiao said goodbye to Emperor Yongtai.
He quickly left the palace, rode sesame seeds, and returned to Dingbei Wangfu with Shuyan.
Doudou, who was in love with his sister-in-law Zhongli and Weiju, did not return to the Eternal Garden until before dinner.
Huo Xiao disliked his little daughter-in-law with a dark face, this lentil is really a typical example of remembering to eat and not remembering!
Before the couple could say a few words, a message came from the palace.
- Concubine Jiang was promoted to the position of concubine, and she was in charge of all the affairs of the harem during the period of Empress Pei's recuperation.
