Chapter 218: Plunder

Jiang Shoufu, who had been silent, slightly pursed his eyelids, and happened to meet the headache Emperor Shenwu, and soon Jiang Shoufu bowed his head respectfully again, signaling to surrender to Emperor Shenwu.

However, Emperor Shenwu didn't feel the slightest bit happy.

A King of Qi has already given him a headache, and Ah Jiu is enough to make up for King Qi's shortcomings.

Ah Jiu will never help the county lord of Zhaohua speak, Lu Tianyang was almost burned to death, it would be good if Ah Jiu didn't take the opportunity to fall into the well.

"Your Majesty."

Ah Jiu was wearing a half-new dress, with a hairpin ring on her head, and no extra accessories, looking very capable.

"Look up."

"Yes."

Ah Jiu slowly raised his head, and looked at Emperor Shenwu with divine eyes, calm and restrained. Emperor Shenwu leaned back, and from Ah Jiu's face, he couldn't tell how Lu Tian's injuries were.

However, Emperor Shenwu knew that there was a big trouble.

The calmer and more fearless a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

In fact, with the power of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Shenwu can completely silence Ah Jiu, no matter how correct Ah Jiu is and how talented he is.

It's just that he doesn't want to...... Xu is head was pumped, and he was very indulgent to Ah Jiu several times.

"You don't take care of Hou Yu in the Marquis Yu's mansion, what are you doing in the palace?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Marquis Yu is not seriously injured, and he is already sober."

Ah Jiu's words made King Qi grin, he was too honest, if he wasn't seriously injured, what reason would he use to resist Zhaohua?

The county lord of Zhaohua had a faint feeling of relief in his heart, but then his nerves tensed, and Ah Jiu was more difficult to deal with than King Qi.

Uncle is afraid that most of the migraine for the younger generations of the Mu family will fall on Ah Jiu, who is not surnamed Mu, and it is impossible to return to the Mu family.

Ah Jiu married someone and was the enemy of the Mu family. The complex entanglements are really cut, and the reasoning is still messy.

The county lord of Zhaohua knew very well that as long as he took a step back. is no longer embarrassed by Lu Tianyang, Xu is situation will be much calmer, but there is no way for him to ignore Lu Tianyang.

As long as she met Lu Tianyang, her reaction was extremely strong, and she couldn't say what it was like.

"Sober?" Emperor Shenwu said: "It's not a good injury. ”

Unlike King Qi, Emperor Shenwu felt that it would be more troublesome for Lu Tian to be sober.

"I heard what happened to the Hou Ye, and my father-in-law entered the palace alone to cry out for injustice. As a child, you can't watch your father-in-law make trouble. ”

"You enter the palace ......"

"Tell my father-in-law on purpose." Ah Jiu smiled sweetly at King Qi, "Master Hou is fine." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's okay. ”

What's the matter with a chill in my heart? King Qi touched his chin, Ah Jiu would never be able to sweep the tail for Zhaohua. What was her purpose in doing this?

"You just feel too sorry for the Hou Ye to make a mistake."

Ah Jiu was quite emotional, and faced Emperor Shenwu: "I beg Your Majesty to be considerate of my father-in-law, he is very affectionate and righteous to Lord Hou, and he is also sincere to his closest relatives." ι™›xiΓ . His Royal Highness King Qi is not only a good father. He is also a good son. ”

"I only saw that he was good to Yu Hou, but I didn't see his filial piety to me." Emperor Shenwu didn't smile, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure that the good son is the fourth bastard?" ”

King Qi's face was sneering, and the rest of the people were a little more wary of Ah Jiu, isn't this a clear competition for favor?

The princes and kings, including the crown prince, are not very good-looking on their faces, and whoever can get the favor of Emperor Shenwu may become the heir.

But it's so obvious. Will their wise and ruthless father believe it?

Ah Jiu's voice was calm. But it was convincing, "Your Majesty didn't see that His Royal Highness King Qi was a good son, only blamed you for being too strong." ”

"Interesting, very interesting." Emperor Shenwu asked with great interest, "Is the reason for me?" ”

"Your Majesty is rich in the four seas, and you are the ruler of all people, you are strong no matter when and where, like a high mountain, and you are the king of Qi who looks up and relies on it."

"You're going to slap me again?"

Emperor Shenwu is very happy, who doesn't want to listen to good words, especially when he gradually feels powerless, and his sons are eyeing the throne one by one.

"Every father is a mountain in the heart of his son, but according to the father's ability to protect his son, the mountain is a little higher or a little shorter."

"That sounds pretty fresh." Emperor Shenwu turned to King Qi, "Ah Jiu is right? ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

As long as it's not really stupid, who will say it's wrong, King Qi lowered his head, as if he had been poked in public with his true intentions, a little shy, shy, and a little embarrassed.

King Qi behaved like this, and the more credible Cheng dΓΉ became.

A warm current flowed in Emperor Shenwu's heart.

"The crow still knows how to feed back, how can the king of Qi have no filial piety to His Majesty, His Majesty is so powerful, his father-in-law can't fight for anything for His Majesty in this life, but his father-in-law knows that the empire is what His Majesty values the most, and his father-in-law abandons glory and wealth and fights on the border for more than ten years, just to protect the empire that His Majesty cares about the most."

"Serving by His Majesty's side is filial piety, and what his father-in-law does is great filial piety."

"Alright."

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand, "Since you say that he is a filial son, can I still blame the fourth child?" The fourth ...... I have him, and the king of Qi is out of Beijing...... It's my approval. ”

The prince was a little anxious, and he wanted to take the opportunity of King Qi to leave Beijing without authorization and get angry with Emperor Shenwu to clean up King Qi.

With them, these sons who honestly accompany Emperor Shenwu and dare not mess with their father and emperor are not filial sons? Causing trouble, the king of Qi who has no one in his eyes is the great filial son?

Is there still an axiom?

It was not Ah Jiu who shocked the princes and kings, but King Qi...... He has the border army in his hands, and his strength is already greater than theirs, but now that he has the trust of Emperor Shenwu, wouldn't their chances be even more slim?

However, at this time, none of the princes and kings dared to stand up, and they all hoped that others would be the first to test their father, and then they would rush up again.

After waiting for a moment and no one spoke, the prince could only stand up to his younger brothers, "Father, the sons think that the fourth brother has a lot of credit, but he is also willful and reckless, and if he is not restrained at this time, it will harm the fourth brother." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Madame Yuhou has something to say?"

The prince's senses for Ah Jiu are really bad, and he has been the prince for many years. Full of momentum, "Lone is talking to his father." ”

"Is the father-in-law interfering in court politics? Or is it a clique that spoils the empire? Your Highness, what do you mean by willful and reckless? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The crown prince was speechless, everyone knew that King Qi didn't care about the government at all. After returning to Beijing for many years, I haven't seen King Qi win over a courtier, but King Qi frequently makes courtiers ugly.

"King Qi eats, drinks and enjoys himself, and occasionally acts recklessly just because of one point, he is the son of His Majesty, the fourth son of the emperor, and His Majesty has given him the qualification of 'willful and reckless'."

Ah Jiu smiled, "The father-in-law still protects the status of the Hou Ye." His Majesty is the lord of the empire, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi still needs to restrain his temperament too much? ”

"Crooked, you're crooked." The prince said angrily.

"It's just a little thing to eat, drink and have fun. What's wrong with King Qi being willful? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many privileges, isn't it also for your Majesty to give you? ”

The implication is that it all depends on Emperor Shenwu.

King Qi grinned, and it was extremely arrogant in the eyes of others.

Ah Jiu doesn't care about the prince's hatred, it's not certain whether the prince can ascend the throne, Ah Jiu still knows a little bit about her husband's ambitions.

"The son was registered as the crown prince by his father. Have been conscientious. Don't dare to make any omissions, and love your younger brothers. ”

The crown prince knelt down, "Erchen's kindness to the fourth brother has been misunderstood, and Erchen ......"

"Huh." Emperor Shenwu smiled, "The fourth brother is looking for me to cry out for his righteous son, according to what the prince said, he has always been individual and willful. It's not surprising that I did this. ”

"......" The prince's forehead suddenly broke with cold sweat.

Ah Jiu slowly hooked the corners of his mouth. It's to fight the father, how to fight the score, how to fight, Emperor Shenwu has the highest hopes for the prince, and now the prince has learned to find the 'father' to come forward, and he is just dealing with Ah Jiu...... Obviously exposing the flaws, Emperor Shenwu may not be willing to call the shots for the crown prince.

Sure enough, Emperor Shenwu was slightly disappointed and said: "I have carefully cultivated the prince for many years, and I have entrusted you with important tasks. ”

The most disappointing thing for Emperor Shenwu was that the prince caused trouble but couldn't clean up the mess, so he turned over and came to himself.

King Qi also likes to cause trouble, but which time didn't he do it himself?

Even if he entered the palace this time to cry out for grievances, he didn't come to ask his father to call the shots.

"Father, son...... Erchen knows his mistake. ”

The prince habitually admits his mistakes, and whenever he is not as good as Emperor Shenwu, the prince can always take the initiative to admit his mistakes, especially in recent years.

"Hey."

Emperor Shenwu let out a long sigh, and was still quite patient with the prince he had chosen, "That's it, you get up." ”

"Thank you, Father." The prince kowtowed respectfully, very honestly.

Compared with King Qi, who was unruly and anxious to call himself an old man, the prince was too weak and lacked ...... Their ancestors have the courage to poke a hole in the sky.

Emperor Shenwu's eyes spared the princes and kings, King Qi is sometimes very annoying, but his temperament is like himself, he dares to think and do, and he is a scoundrel...... Of course he won't admit that he's a scoundrel.

It was because of this that he sat on the throne of the emperor, and those lords who were taller and stronger than him were destroyed.

Ah Jiu secretly laughed at the prince...... At the same time, I pity him, it is wrong to be too obedient, and it is also wrong to be disobedient and ambitious.

In the final analysis, Emperor Shenwu lived too long and refused to hand over the responsibility of the emperor to the crown prince.

If the emperor's reign was specified, the crown prince as the heir would be much better, Ah Jiu knew that this was simply impossible, and no one could resist the temptation of supreme power unless he died, especially after tasting it.

"What else do you have to do?"

Ah Jiu obviously didn't want to leave, and Emperor Shenwu asked.

"In order to capture the remnants of the restoration of the country, Chengguo Gong almost burned his own son Yu Hou and Chengguo Gong's son, and almost caused a tragedy in the world."

"Huh?"

Emperor Shenwu clearly sensed Ah Jiu's changes.

Although she is calm, there is still a trace of the little daughter's coquettish style, not so much that Emperor Shenwu was moved by her sycophancy, it is better to say that Emperor Shenwu had no intention of curing the sin of King Qi, and he felt a lot of pity for Ah Jiu, so he pushed the boat down the river as Ah Jiu's wish.

The reason why he has empathy for Ah Jiu, the pity of the county lord of Zhaohua is at the mercy of Lu Jiang and disappoints him.

At that time, he didn't approve of this marriage, but he couldn't bear what Zhaohua wanted, Emperor Shenwu wanted to use Zhaohua to control Lu Jiang, who knew that Zhaohua now only had Lu Jiang's father and son in his heart.

Ah Jiu is different, he holds Lu Tianyang to death, although Lu Tianyang is Lu Jiang's son, but Emperor Shenwu can see that Lu Tianyang is more loyal to the empire.

Ah Jiu is enough to affect Lu Tianyang.

This is a great opportunity for Emperor Shenwu, who has been unable to completely solve the problem of the Wind Legion's high combat power and lack of loyalty.

Emperor Shenwu squirmed, and once Ah Jiu put on a rigorous, sharp appearance proved that she had entered the state again.

This is too much like a brother-in-law, and it is also what Emperor Shenwu misses the most.

"If you want to put an end to this, you need to clarify the functions, the functions of the official position." Ah Jiu glanced at the county lord of Zhaohua, "Cheng Guogong said to arrest the remnants of the country, is he qualified to deal with this matter?" ”

Lord Zhaohua pursed his lips, "I said I let him go." ”

"But you're just afraid that you're not qualified, Your Majesty said when he set up the factory guard, in addition to supervising hundreds of officials, the most important role of the factory guard is to eliminate the forces that intend to restore the country. The county lord of Zhaohua has a noble status and is favored by the saint, where did you get the news? And how to act instead of the factory guard? ”

"You're too well informed."

Ah Jiu finally said this sentence and pointed directly at the eldest princess, once Emperor Shenwu suspected the eldest princess, it would be a big blow to the eldest princess, after all, a courtier of a dead man or something can't have it.

Emperor Shenwu's face was cold, loyal to the emperor, and the eyes of the courtiers who did not like the eldest princess's participation in politics lit up slightly, which was the best weapon to attack the eldest princess.

"I'm not qualified? Lu Tianyang? Lord Zhaohua sneered, "He is no longer Jinyiwei, can he still get news from Jinyiwei?" I'd like to ask you, did Jin Yiwei send him a copy of the news before he delivered it to him? ”

"County Lord, don't be angry."

Ah Jiu said unhurriedly: "Marquis Yu didn't go because of the remnants of the restoration of the country, who told the county lord unrealistic news?" Cheng Guogong? ”

The county lord of Zhaohua clenched his fists, understanding that this was the step that Ah Jiu left for himself, and Ah Jiu rushed to Lu Jiang with a swing.

Ah Jiu waited quietly, because she knew that the county lord of Zhaohua cared too much about her son Lu Lingfeng, she was afraid that the county lord of Zhaohua would be in a hurry, so she didn't mention Lu Lingfeng, and Lu Lingfeng was not weighty enough.

As long as he thought of Lu Jiang setting fire to destroy Lu Tianyang, Ah Jiu hated it in his heart, between his mother's family and his husband, the county lord of Zhaohua should make a wise choice.

"No, it's not Cheng Guogong."

The county lord of Zhaohua put aside Ah Jiu and said to Emperor Shenwu: "Because Yan Guogong was attacked several times, my mother asked someone to protect Yan Guogong's family at all times, so I got some news, and I don't know whether the news is true or not, and I was worried that someone would use this to set up a trap, so I asked Cheng Guogong to find out first, but I didn't expect it...... ran into Lu Tianyang. ”

"This is an accident, and my uncle doesn't believe me? Don't believe in your mother's loyalty to the Empire? ”

Emperor Shenwu's eyes are complicated, disappointed, loyal?! Zhaohua's path has completely deviated.

Since he tore his face, the county lord of Zhaohua asked Ah Jiu strongly, "Since Lu Tianyang is not married to catch the remnants of the country, he is the deputy commander of the Wind Corps, it is the time to be busy, and he still has the heart to run outside Beijing?" And King Qi finally dared to go over, what did their father and son want to do? ”

"Rectify the Wind Corps, and better serve His Majesty." Ah Jiu smiled faintly, "He naturally went to find Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo, to go through the old accounts, the county lord doesn't know what your good son has done, let me tell you the same." ”

Since Lu Tianyang wanted the Wind Legion, Ah Jiu would naturally help him get it, and by the way, he dug up Lu Jiang's foundation. (To be continued......)
