Chapter 325: The Suburbs
Chapter 325
The emperor looked at Xiao Cuo, without the slightest hesitation in his expression, and handed over the tiger talisman in his hand and a handwritten letter to Xiao Cuo: "Don't worry, this is the tiger talisman deployed by the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Gyeonggi Guard, plus the five military camps and the Shenji battalion that I handed over to you before, as well as the Hunan army in your fiefdom, I am equivalent to handing over most of the country to you." The burden of besieging Kyoto and annihilating the rebellion will fall on you. This letter, you will take it to Sima Xin later. Sima Xin is my close confidant, and when he sees Xin, he will naturally cooperate with your actions, and he will also return the power of the soldiers and horses to you. ”
That's a lot of trust. With so many conveniences, if Xiao Cuo has the heart to establish himself as the king, it will be basically effortless.
Fu Ying pursed her lips.
For the son of an enemy who has the hatred of killing his son and seizing power, the emperor trusts him so much, which is abnormal in her eyes. Such an abnormal behavior was carried out by the emperor for nearly twenty years. developed the habit of laughing at all the favors he gave.
Is this a blessing or a curse?
As Fu Ying thought in his heart, Xiao Cuo accepted the tiger talisman and letterhead without any excuse, and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry." ”
"I'll leave it to you, I'm naturally relieved, remember, if you find the handle of the second prince, you must first capture him alive, and don't hurt his life first."
"The royal brother also takes into account the relationship between father and son."
"After all, it's my flesh and blood, and I want to ask him face to face, why is this happening? My heirs are thin, and there are only three of them left in the total, whether they are the heirs or the chiefs, the throne will be his, is he so anxious to take the throne. Can't you even wait a decade or two? The emperor's tone was very vicissitudes.
Xiao Cuo also sighed.
Fu Ying felt that the vicissitudes of the emperor were not pretended.
Born in the emperor's family, the true feelings have long been weak, is it possible that his enemies are pretending to be sincere, and he is still looking forward to a sincere return? How can there be so many people in the world who give their hearts but don't get anything in return?
"Alright, it's time for me to go."
The straps of the emperor's cloak were fastened, and a hood was put on to cover his face.
Xiao Cuo anxiously took the emperor's hand: "Brother Huang, where are you going to go if you are not well, don't go, you have already returned." and dwelt in the temple of nourishing the heart. If you don't want Xiao Yi to see it, then let your brother arrange a secret place for you, you ......"
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Don't worry. The emperor patted Xiao Cuo's slightly calloused thin and thin fingers on his hand.
Xiao Cuo naturally let go.
This man is the emperor. His decision was of divine will. His word is a holy decree.
"Okay, Brother Huang, please be careful and pay attention to safety. The subordinate brother will definitely not dishonor your entrustment. Please rest assured! ”
"I've always been at ease with you." The Emperor patted Xiao Cuo on the shoulder. Then he turned around and left neatly.
Xiao Cuo hurriedly chased a few steps, and watched the emperor quietly walk to the back door under the escort of a few people dressed in eunuchs outside, but the people who were tall and tall and tigers, and then slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Fu Ying stepped forward to take Xiao Cuo's hand, but he reversed the dull coquettishness of the past few days and said, "Ah Cuo, can you take me out for a walk." ”
She had just shed tears for Wu Luohou's affairs, there were still tears on her cheeks in the early morning, and her big misty eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, and she had just learned the news and pulled him to beg, Xiao Cuo thought that she had something to say to herself, and even if it was fine, she really wanted him to take her out for a walk, and he couldn't be hard at all!
"Okay, okay, I'll take you out, take you out for a horseback ride and relax, and when you're hungry, let's go to Zuixianlou to eat crispy chicken, okay?"
Fu Ying nodded.
Xiao Cuo took her to the bedroom, personally twisted a handkerchief to wipe her face, and took a rose fragrant simmer the size of a bean to level her face, then took her hand and casually ordered: "This king will take the princess down to the restaurant, you don't have to follow." ”
Next, next to the restaurant?
Ah Yuan opened his mouth on the side, but he didn't dare to have any opinions, and said with a smile: "Then the slave maid will ask the guards of the gold group to prepare." ”
Xiao Cuo didn't want to bring the guards, but after looking at Fu Ying, he still bowed his head and said, "You also go along." ”
Ah Yuan nodded happily: "Yes." ”
Xiao Cuo took Fu Ying out of the palace on horseback and placed her in front of him, followed by six guards of the Jin Group, and Ah Yuan, who had changed into a small servant.
The group left the imperial city and walked generously through the market to the moat to walk their horses.
The guards were far away.
Fu Ying pointed to the moat with a smile, just like all the people who play and watch the scenery normally, but what he said was: "Ah wrong, the people who follow us won't hear what we say, right?" ”
Xiao Cuo held the reins in one hand, hugged her slender and flexible waist with the other, smiled and put a kiss on her cheek, and said with a smile: "I know that my family is the smartest, don't worry, those people are afraid of my martial arts and dare not get too close." How did you remember to come out and speak? ”
"After all, the palace is the emperor's territory, the emperor can not alarm the people of the second prince, return to the Heart Cultivation Hall in the well-deployed palace, and do not alarm others to find you, there must be people from the emperor everywhere, I am afraid that even if you have not been on the Gongtong Emperor this morning, wouldn't you be asking for trouble yourself."
Xiao Cuo sneered, kissed Fu Ying's side face lovingly, and said with a smile: "At this time, only you can make me laugh." ”
Hearing the depression in his words, Fu Ying said quietly: "Ah wrong, do you believe the emperor's words?" ”
Xiao Cuo was silent for a long time before he said, "Half truth." ”
"So...... Do you think that he dealt with the second prince this time, and gave you military power and complete trust, can you really believe it? ”
"I know you don't believe him." Xiao Cuo did not answer, but raised his eyes to look at the mountains not far away, but his mood could not be as calm as usual.
He replied like this, but Fu Ying didn't want to remind him sharply for a while. In court politics, Xiao Cuo is much more familiar than her. In terms of decision-making, Xiao Cuo will not be worse than her, she cares, but she can't make trouble for him.
"Ahh
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, just ask your heart what to do, anyway, I will always be with you." Fu Ying relied on Xiao Cuo's embrace with confidence, and raised his head to give him a soothing smile.
Xiao Cuo lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, and his strong arms gradually tightened.
At this moment, some difficult things to choose seemed to break through the fog of confusion, and he gradually saw it clearly.
"Don't worry. Rest assured, I know what's most important. Xiao Cuo rubbed his chin against her forehead.
Fu Ying said with a smile: "In any case, now you can control the military power openly, but you are safe to protect yourself." And it doesn't hurt for you to make an alliance with the emperor first to kill the second prince. ”
Xiao Cuo nodded lightly and sighed faintly. (To be continued.) )
