"Father, don't worry about the body of your sons, but you work all day long, and you have to pay attention to your own body and bones!" Xiao Moheng bowed and smiled.

Xiao Moheng's words made Emperor Xiao feel very pleasant, he withdrew his slightly angry gaze from Xiao Moxuan, and then looked at Xiao Moheng gently, "Heng'er, you solved a big trouble for your father today, and you put down the Wuxing Rebellion before, tell me, whatever reward you want, your father will give it to you!" ”

Although Emperor Xiao asked with a smile on his face, he actually wanted to test Xiao Moheng's mind in his heart, if he made a request, then he was obviously just simply relieving the worries of the imperial court, and if he didn't want anything, it meant that he had more lofty ambitions in his heart, because he would regard these as what he had to do.

Emperor Xiao has always wondered that he doesn't know what this son is thinking in his heart, in the early years, he has been traveling all over the world, until in recent months, he has gradually highlighted his talents, from the beginning of his pacification of the Jingkou refugees, Emperor Xiao has already felt that he has a faint sense of heroic spirit, that kind of worry about the world even he, the emperor is a little ashamed, but Emperor Xiao is still not sure about him at all, I don't know if he has the heart to win.

"Hehe, my son was embarrassed to say, but since my father asked, my son might as well speak up." Xiao Moheng smiled a little wryly.

On the one hand, he hoped that Xiao Moheng, who had outstanding talents, would have the idea of winning the championship, but on the other hand, he was worried that Xiao Moheng and Xiao Mocheng would fight to the death because of the battle for the throne, and one day it would hurt him.

Emperor Xiao sighed secretly. "Tell me, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Moheng saw that Emperor Xiao had spoken, so he said with a happy face: "Father, last year, General Deng Rui, the general of Pingyue Zhonglang, gave you a peerless sword, and the retainer liked it very much... I don't know if my father is willing to give this sword to his son, he will definitely swing this sword in the future, pointing straight to the Central Plains, and recovering Shenzhou for his father! Speaking the last few words, Xiao Moheng's expression was clear, and his face was full of great anger, which made Emperor Xiao deeply appreciated.

It seems that he is really a prince who loves to lead soldiers to fight. That's fine. If he and Cheng'er can support each other, then he is also a lot more relieved, if he is in charge of the army, Cheng'er will also have strong reinforcements in the court. will not be subject to Su Pei and other big clans. Emperor Xiao secretly thought in his heart.

"You like that sword. Why didn't you say it earlier, isn't it just a piece of artifact, is your father still reluctant to give it to you? Emperor Xiao said with some pity.

Xiao Moheng rarely showed a very bright smile when he heard this, "Thank you, father!" ”

Emperor Xiao saw his complacent expression, and sighed in his heart, anyone who practices martial arts and leads soldiers is very interested in swords and weapons, it seems that he is really obsessed with martial arts, and I really hope that one day he can lead the troops to recover the Central Plains, but in Emperor Xiao's opinion, these are unthinkable, although he has been inspiring his subordinates for a long time, but he has never really planned to act, in fact, more importantly, he does not have that kind of self-confidence!

"Heng'er, do you really want to recover the Central Plains?" Emperor Xiao couldn't help but ask, he wanted to find out what this son's plans were.

When Xiao Moheng heard this, he held back his smile, and the faint pride in his heart gradually revealed, and he said with a solemn face: "Father, the reason why the sons and daughters accept the displaced people as soldiers is not only to build their own army for the royal family, but also to prepare for his Northern Expedition in the future. After Xiao Moheng finished speaking, he bowed and knelt down.

Emperor Xiao was even more appreciative of him when he heard this, and when he saw him kneeling down and asking for his life, he immediately supported him and said, "Silly boy, can you have this ambition, can you still refuse to be a father?" Only if he has such an opportunity one day, my father will definitely let you lead the Northern Expedition! ”

Xiao Moheng nodded happily, his face was full of excited smiles, and he smiled faintly in his heart: What I am waiting for is your promise.

Emperor Xiao immediately ordered his attendants to fetch the sword, but he turned his mind and looked at Xiao Moxuan, who was sitting quietly, and said, "Xuan'er, do you also have something that you like for your father?" "Since I rewarded Xiao Moheng with a sword, it is not good for Xiao Moheng to return empty-handed.

"Is my father's words serious?" Xiao Moxuan asked cautiously, when did Emperor Xiao treat him so well, it was really difficult to adapt for a while, and only Xiao Mocheng had such treatment.

"Haha....Jun Wu jokes, don't you know?" Emperor Xiao smiled helplessly, this son is still more sincere.

"My son wants the twelve-style screen that Wu Jun paid tribute to last year!" Xiao Moxuan said in a low voice, for fear that Emperor Xiao would refuse.

Seeing his docile expression, Emperor Xiao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "You are sharp-eyed, I don't usually see you enter the palace, how do you know that there is that thing?" ”

"Once in a while, I see it, and I think it's very good-looking!" Xiao Moxuan also laughed.

"Okay, I'll be with you!"

After saying that, Emperor Xiao glanced at Xu Huaiyuan, and Xu Huaiyuan immediately moved to Xiao Moxuan's palace.

After a while, Xiao Moheng took the sword he wanted, from the moment the sword was imprinted into Xiao Moheng's eyes, he stared at it, his eyes were shining, he slowly took the sword from the hand of the inner servant, and wanted to look at one of his beloved treasures, looking left and right, but because he was on the emperor's side, he couldn't draw the sword and try.

Emperor Xiao saw that he was eager to try, so he smiled and let the two of them go out of the palace. Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Moheng's back full of peace of mind and reassurance, and his intuition told him that this child would not let him down.

Xiao Moheng clenched the scabbard, his expression was a little trance, and he recalled in his mind that ten years ago, Deng Rui took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Panyu Town to guard the counties of the South China Sea, and when he left, Xiao Moheng quietly sent him off on the side of the mountain, Xiao Moheng still remembered the scene at that time, that Deng Rui held his shoulders, and said clearly: "Your Highness, you are a person with great ambitions, I will wait for you for ten years, ten years later, I, Deng Rui, will obey your dispatch and never lose my trust!" ”

And now that the ten-year period has arrived, he should also keep his promise to return to Beijing at the beginning of the year, Xiao Moheng sighed in his heart.

Before his mother Yu Xiaoyun married into the palace, she was famous for her beauty and talent, and was later known as "the first lady of Huiji", and she had a straightforward temperament. The temperament is elegant and calm, before leaving the cabinet, he traveled through the rivers and rivers, and also met Ling Xiaohe and Deng Rui by chance, both of them fell in love with her at first sight, just like that, Concubine Yu had a text and a martial arts next to her to follow her, and later the three of them also disguised themselves as people in the rivers and lakes to act chivalrous and righteous, every time he heard his mother talk about the past of the rivers and lakes, he was fascinated, and his mother was also confused and trance. With some sadness and helplessness.

Later, Emperor Xiao also smelled of her reputation. yearning, Concubine Yu was forced to enter the palace as a concubine under family pressure, and her group of admirers in Huiji were naturally sad.

Although Ling Xiaohe and Deng Rui were both heartbroken, they finally followed her into Beijing for her. One was recommended to be an official in the Guozijian because he was full of poems and books. One person is quite outstanding in martial arts, and he is a general of the army, and he is engaged in Zhonglang general. After Xiao Moheng was born. The two men also regarded him as a treasure. Secretly will take him out to play, and will also teach him a lot of new things.

Concubine Yu has been in Beijing for more than ten years, and Ling Xiaohe has been an official in Guozijian. He has a free and unrestrained temperament, painting and reciting poetry every day to entertain life, but because of his fame in the capital is quite prestigious, after the death of Concubine Yu, he abandoned the official and returned to Huiji, and since then he has lived in seclusion, only occasionally people who meet him bring out his paintings and poems, and the people of the time are amazed at his talent and bearing.

After the death of his mother, Deng Rui followed his mother's last words, secretly took care of himself for four years, and when he took care of everything properly, he left this sad place and fled to the South China Sea.

When he left, he finally looked at the southern mountain and said leisurely: "Your mother has always wanted to see the sea, but unfortunately she couldn't do it in the end, so I will go to the southernmost side to see the sea for her!" As he spoke, he walked away without looking back, and at that moment his slender figure became longer and farther in Xiao Moheng's eyes...

After the death of his mother, Ling Xiaohe left, and Deng Rui also left a few years later, leaving him alone in Beijing to face the empty house and lonely wall, and he could only use the piano flute to vent his lonely thoughts and resentment.

"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you, why are you a little distracted?" Xiao Moxuan, who was walking aside, saw him walking slowly absentmindedly, and was quite surprised, when did this brother lose his manners in front of people, since he left the hall, he looked in a trance, I don't know why?

Xiao Moxuan's inquiry finally made Xiao Moheng finally come back to his senses, he tilted his head, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, it's just thinking of my mother..."

When Xiao Moxuan heard this, he felt a little pity in his heart, compared to others, he had the only strength, at least he had a close relative by his side to take care of him, thinking that after the death of Concubine Yu, Xiao Moheng locked himself in the palace all day long, not thinking about tea and dinner, and was sad alone.

Compared with other princes, he and Xiao Moheng have never been treated well by Emperor Xiao, and he knows very well in his heart that he has been miserable for so many years, no matter what, the two have gotten along so far, at least this brother still trusts him very much, and he and he must support each other, and while thinking about it, he quickly followed, and went out of Jianchun Gate with him.

When Xiao Moheng and the two brothers got into the carriage and drove back to the palace in the eastern suburbs, Xiao Mocheng also returned to the Su family with his uncle.

As soon as the two stepped into the wide and elegant gate of Su Mansion, they saw a group of servants coming to pay their respects, Xiao Mocheng looked at the busy people in the courtyard, and thought that tomorrow would be the Stove Festival, and the day after tomorrow would be his grandfather's seventieth birthday.

This is the grandest banquet of the Su family since welcoming the princess into the palace, so Su Weixin and Su Weizhen both instructed the mansion to be seriously managed, because Su Weixin was in the court and was busy with affairs, so most of the things were handed over to Su Weizhen to cook.

Xiao Mocheng feels more comfortable than in the palace every time he enters the Su Mansion, the Su family has built the mansion for 50 years, is located in the south bank of Qinhuai, the east of the Vermilion Bird Voyage, convenient travel, pleasant scenery, the location is extremely superior, the pavilions and pavilions in the house are staggered, the trees are lush, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.

In order to increase the scenery in the house, the Su family has artificially opened a small river leading to the Qinhuai River. However, this is still the Su family's mansion in the capital, if you go to Wu County to see the Su family's old mansion, the buildings are continuous, and the villas are in pieces, so you can know what is really rich and luxurious.

The Su family has a prosperous history of 100 years, and is not only the family with the highest lintel in the high gate, but also the family with the most protégés and the most prosperous descendants. Su Jin civil and military shuangquan, is the father of the three dynasties, because of the great merit and high title Taibao, his two sons and a nephew are in Dahuan held important positions, the internal control of the secret, the external control of wealth, there are many protégés and former officials all over Dahuan, so Huamen nobles in the history of Dahuan can also be the first, so some people say that Su Lao Da stomped his feet, the capital will be shaken three times.

Despite this, the Su family has always been humble and retreating, Taoguang is obscure, never oppresses people with power, bullies others, and is even more cautious in front of Emperor Xiao.

Old lady Su is now full of children and grandchildren, and he is also happy, this seventieth birthday should indeed be easy to manage, Su Jin thought that he might not be able to live for a long time when he was old, so he was lively with a group of nephews.

"Your Highness, sir!" Seeing Xiao Mocheng and Su Weixin returning home together, Su Shao, the second housekeeper of the Su family, hurriedly came out to greet him. This Su family is prosperous, there are many affairs in the house, there are two housekeepers in the house, the big housekeeper Su Yi is the henchman next to the old man, and he is in charge of the major affairs in the house, and other daily small things and people outside the house are all taken care of by Su Shao. And Su Shao seems to be Su Weixin's cronies.

"Where's the old man?" Su Weixin asked lightly as he walked, Su Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "The old man is taking a lunch break in the Yixia Pavilion in the west!" Su Shao thought in his heart that something must have happened to the court, otherwise the old man would not have asked where the old man was as soon as he came back.

He deeply remembered that one night more than ten years ago, Su Weixin had a big quarrel with the old man, and since then, Su Weixin ignored the old man for a long time, until things became weaker and weaker, and Su Weixin gradually eased relations with the old man.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Weixin and Old Man Su are like a father and a son, but Su Shao, who has followed Su Weixin for many years, knows that Su Weixin has always been suspicious of the old man. It wasn't until His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes grew up that the father and son got a lot closer, but despite this, Su Weixin didn't ask too much about the old man on weekdays, unless there was something to discuss with the old man.

So now, as soon as Su Weixin entered the mansion and asked the old man, Su Shao knew that there must be trouble.

"Well, you go get busy!" Su Weixin replied lightly, thinking that it would be better to tell his father about today's events earlier, and see what he planned, although he no longer blamed him, but the estrangement for many years has made it impossible for the father and son to reconcile as before.

Su Weixin then pulled Xiao Mocheng towards the backyard, and the two walked through the front yard, then over the front hall and the middle hall, and then through the two corridors and courtyards to the backyard.

Xiao Mocheng was familiar with the road all the way, picking a few leaves here and breaking a branch there, Su Weixin saw that he still did not change his habits, and shook his head again and again. (To be continued......)
