Ruhai's military affairs were finally pressed by Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, but Xia's sister-in-law suddenly found that her son and Xiao Xia's mother-in-law were actually close, and she was quite puzzled. It's just that Ruhai finally stopped making trouble in the army, and Sister-in-law Xia was also relieved.

A few days later, Xia Xiucai also accepted Sun Fuyin's invitation to teach some children in the school, and followed Xiao Xia's wife and Ruhai back to live in Fengxiang Mansion.

Ruhai returned to study in the school, Xu had a goal, but he worked harder and harder, and he gradually became generous and peaceful in dealing with people. The grandson of the Xia family, who always followed behind the uncles and said nothing, slowly began to gain some fame among the students of Fengxiang Mansion.

Two or three months later, news came from Beijing that the rebellion of the king was arrested by the Lan family. For a while, rumors inside and outside the capital seemed to have wings, and there were all kinds of things.

It is said that illegal clothes and utensils were found in the palace of the acting king, and they were told to the imperial court, and the emperor sent the son of the Lan family to arrest the two adult sons of the acting king in the name of hunting. The acting king had no choice but to take the initiative to write a letter and propose to cut the domain.

Some people also say that the son of the Lan family received the will to arrest the elders and children of the Dai Wang's family. deliberately let the acting king go out of the city to listen to the order, and the acting king did not doubt him, so he only took a few personal soldiers out of the city. The Lan family's tiger camp took advantage of the situation to cover up the past, and now the Dai Wang's family is already a prisoner. Even the excerpt of the king's petition was persecuted by the Lan family.

There are also rumors that the staff in the palace of the acting king is going to rebel, and the people below are unwilling to put their lives on this headless matter. turned against the king's sons and dedicated them to the Lan family.

In this rumor, I don't know why the Northwest Lan family is always indispensable. For a while, except for a few men who had to go out, the others were told by Xiao Xia's mother-in-law and refused to go out.

After a few more days, the fifth brother suddenly asked for leave and went to Fengxiang Mansion overnight. In the small study of the Xia family, Xia Xiucai, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, fifth brother, seventh brother and Ruhai all had solemn faces, and there were two family letters on the table.

Most of the letters from the sixth brother are about the recent hunting with the prince. Between the lines, there are many words of pride. At the end of the letter, he mentioned that the prince planned to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, and he had already chosen him as his escort. He was also promised that he could take a few days off on the way back to the northwest and go home to have a look.

Combined with the previous rumors, it is inevitable that everyone in the Xia family will not have some other ideas.

Ruhai was naturally shocked into a cold sweat. I secretly thought in my heart that King Xing's contemporaries were the uncles of the current emperor, and the acting king was still the emperor's own uncle. Now that he is arrested, he will be arrested, although the crime has not yet been decided, but the Beijing officials in the capital who are fast-moving, and the excerpts of various impeachments have flown to the emperor's desk like snowflakes. At the beginning, if he really went to Xingwangfu to be a guard, I was afraid that it would be difficult to ride a tiger at this time.

Xiao Xia Pozi bent her index finger and gently stroked her lips, and with the other hand, she held the sixth brother's family letter and read it over and over again. It seems that through these thin two pages, you can see the head of the sixth brother in the far northwest.

The fifth brother leaned back in the chair, pressed his thumb on his temple, sighed softly and said, "This is not easy to do in the army, it was easy to get in, but now I can't get out." ”

Xia Xiucai also hung his head in annoyance: "I've been thinking about your mother for half a year, but I don't have any good ideas." The Lan family did this, but they were afraid that the Holy Family would be stronger and more in the limelight than before. I want the sixth brother to come back!

After hearing this, Ruhai understood that today's situation, grandfather, grandmother and fifth uncle were afraid that they had already expected it, but they had been struggling with no way to get the sixth brother back. I couldn't help but secretly say a fluke for myself.

Mrs. Xiao Xia put down the letter and said thoughtfully: "Ruhai, what do you think." ”

After hearing this, Ruhai hurriedly cheered up and said, "It's better to call the second uncle over, not only to avoid King Yi, but also to come back to protect the sixth brother." ”

Xiao Xia nodded lightly: "It's also an idea." ”

He turned his head again and said to the fifth brother, "Have you brought the new Di Bao?"

The fifth brother took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which was full of recent Di newspapers. Xiao Xia took the old ones to Ruhai and Seventh Brother again, and she followed Xia Xiucai to share the latest Di newspapers. Ruhai and Qige read a few photos, but they were all about the emperor's daily life, the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the war reports from all over the country.

After going over like this for a long time, the two of them didn't see anything. Because the fifth brother has seen it, he came over to point them out, for example, the northwest and northeast have been very calm recently, and there are no major battle reports. As he was talking, he heard a loud voice from under the window: "Ahh

The fifth brother and Ruhai hurriedly rushed out, only to see a small figure like a rabbit, and quickly ran to the backyard.

The fifth brother was angry and laughed when he saw it, and led Ruhai back to say to Xiao Xia's mother-in-law: "It's a light rain, maybe it's a little cold, and I can't stand it." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and sketched in her heart the sneaky appearance of Xiaoyu cat eavesdropping on them under the window.

He signaled the fifth brother not to speak, and then slowly paced to the door, waited for a while, and suddenly opened the door, but Xiaoyu, who had escaped, was sticking to the door and eavesdropping. At this time, Zi lost his support and almost fell to the ground. Xiao Xia Pozi nodded her forehead and said, "You are missing anywhere, and you don't go back to sleep yet." ”

Xiaoyu heard this and hurriedly said, "Sixth brother is dangerous, isn't it?"

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law didn't quarrel with her, she only pulled her out, and Xiaoyu said hurriedly: "Actually, the second brother is more dangerous." ”

Xiao Xia was stunned. Xiaoyu turned around and closed the door with a hook of her toes behind her. Then he stared at a pair of big eyes and said to everyone mysteriously: "King Yi, it's not simple. ”

Now Xia Xiucai, the fifth uncle was stunned.

Or Xiao Xia's mother-in-law reacted quickly: "You still peek at the Di newspaper?!"

"Oops, what peek doesn't peek, it's so ugly. Aren't you sneaking around here to discuss things? As he spoke, Xiaoyu rubbed over and looked down at the newly arrived newspapers.

While looking at it, he still muttered in a low voice: "Look, look, how often King Yi has been moving recently." There are no big battles, but there are no small battles, tsk, sure enough," he said, pinching a chapter of the newspaper with his fingertips, pointing it to Xiao Xia Pozi and Xia Xiucai and saying, "Sure enough!"

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, Xia Xiucai, and the fifth brother and Ruhai all leaned over to watch. However, King Yi reported that the food and grass were not enough, and said that the Jurchens were frequent nuisances, and the infantry casualties also needed to be replenished.

Xiao Xia Pozi and Xia Xiucai looked at each other, and both wrote on their faces: "You taught?" and then the two of them seemed to suddenly remember the fifth brother, and they all turned their heads to look at the fifth brother. The fifth brother was startled and hurriedly said, "It's not me." ”

Xiaoyu took out another one and said, "Look, bitter meat trick." "This one is that King Yi reported that he had an arrow wound in the shoulder. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the emperor to allocate another 5,000 elite soldiers to him.

Xiao Xia asked, "Did your seventh brother teach you?"

Xiaoyu looked up at her mother and said in amazement: "Do you still need to be taught such a simple thing?" Isn't that what that's all written in the history books?"

He looked at Ruhai again and said, "Do you know King Yi?"

Because the second brother often runs to the Northeast, Ruhai and they know a little about it, so they thought about it and replied: "King Yi is a vassal king who guards the Northeast, and he is very good at dealing with the Jurchens. ”

Xiaoyu shook her head: "What about before? ”

Ruhai thought for a while: "A gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it." ”

Xiaoyu pouted and smiled: "Where is there such a smart person, who can go into battle to kill the enemy without learning anything, arrange troops, and win all battles?" He is the same age as the prince, that is, he avoids his edge and follows the light to cultivate obscurity. ”

Ruhai said: "In this way, he is anti-minded. ”

Xiaoyu smiled idly and said, "The son can be taught." ”

"Alas, everyone is ready to shoot. As he spoke, he took out another newspaper from the old mansion, pointed to the official who impeached King Xing and said: "This person has something to do with our mansion Yin Sun Lu, I have seen some of his palace newspapers, and Sun Lu always faintly echoes." I must have some friendship in private. ”

Ruhai listened to his head as big as a fight: "A few months ago, Sun Haoran and Zhou Li pushed the cup to change the lamp." It's like an enemy. ”

Xiaoyu smiled again and said, "King Xing is also a wonderful person. He asked Ruhai again: "Do you say that the acting king is really a rebellion, or a fake rebellion?"

Ruhai shook his head.

Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Alas, I really want to know." Mother, do you know?"

Xiao Xia said: "In my opinion, he has not rebelled. Otherwise, how could there be no resistance at all. ”

The fifth brother thought for a while: "The first emperor went very suddenly, and it is possible that he was not prepared. ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "Actually, whether the king really rebelled or was framed, it is true that the number of capable people under his hands is limited." The sixth brother's return to Beijing should not be a big problem this time. If a few more suspicious soldiers are deployed, they will always be able to reach the capital smoothly. But the second brother has to think about it carefully. ”

Except for the fifth brother and Xiao Xia Pozi, the others all looked confused.

Xiaoyu turned to read the second brother's family letter again, but said that he couldn't come back this year: "King Yi needs five or six hundred war horses." ”

Xiaoyu looked at the letter and smiled coldly.

Ruhai shuddered involuntarily when he saw it. Turning his head and asking Mrs. Xiaoxia: "The second uncle is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he comes and goes freely." All we need is a letter from home, and we can find a way to call him back. ”

Xiaoyu shook his head when he heard this, and said faintly in his mouth: "Wealth is in danger." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi looked at her daughter's pursed lips, and a line of words flashed in her heart: "Huiji will hurt." ”
