Chapter 450: The Big Taboo
Although the confession of the Assassin alone could not be used as the most favorable evidence to prove that the neighboring country had deliberately sent spies to assassinate the emperor, Xu Ruixiang was not a man who was willing to suffer losses.
The heads of the dead assassins were cut off, and they were transported to the border with Hu for several days, and more than 20 human heads were hung on the city tower to warn Hu to stop trying to provoke the country with an egg and a stone.
This kind of deterrence must still be able to make the people of Hu State settle down for a while, and they will no longer think about continuing to send spies to the country or inquire about the military situation, or intend to assassinate the emperor.
Of course, Xu Ruixiang did not take it lightly, and after the will to hang the head was spread, he began to work on a part of the military reserves.
What he cares about the most is naturally the manufacture of binocular clairvoyance, and when he thinks of this clairvoyance, he has to think of Meng Guanshuang, the eldest daughter of the newly recognized ancestors and returned to the ancestors of the Guogong Mansion.
Secretly thought, when the baby son asked for a reward for Meng Guanshuang, he should actually guess that the bad girl who had a bumpy life experience that the kid had mentioned and got his favor was her, but he was elm head at the time, and he didn't think of these two things together, on the one hand, he was happy for his middle-aged friend to find his daughter, and on the other hand, because the merit of the binocular clairhand mirror was indeed great, he directly sealed the bad girl who had never met as the county lord.
But I don't want to, but the bad girl has already used all kinds of conveniences to secretly communicate with Xuan'er, and the kid is fascinated, why don't you let him make trouble secretly, only let the secret guard go out of the palace to inquire, and then inquire about the affairs of the two.
There is a sense of loss that something beloved is about to be snatched away. That's why he couldn't hold back at the banquet of his precious son and the crown palace, and actually cautiously found out about the bad girl.
If the concubine is still there, it must be said that his heart is like wheat.
Concubine, what should I do with that kid?
However, for now, the matter is still important, so let's put aside the matter of the stinky boy who forgot his father for the time being.
Xu Ruixiang, who frowned for a while and raised his eyebrows for a while, was distracted for a while before he came back to his senses and said to Zhou Hai: "Go and call that stinky boy to me!" ”
"Yes! Emperor! Zhou Hai responded, turned around and was about to go out.
Xu Ruixiang felt unhappy again, and stopped him and said, "You don't even ask." How do you know which one I want you to preach? ”
Do you need to ask? Among so many princes, apart from His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, who can be called stinky boys by the emperor with resentment, who else is worthy of the emperor's love.
is the steady and gentle sixth prince, although his ability is valued by the emperor. But the status in the emperor's heart is not as heavy as that of the Nine Emperors.
But. You can't say this in front of the emperor. That's it in my heart.
It's one thing to be able to grasp the emperor's mood, but it can't be expressed in Hongguoguo.
What kind of person is Zhou Hai, he has served the emperor for decades. Hearing the emperor say this, he immediately stopped, turned around and bowed his waist humbly, and slapped himself in a low voice: "Look at the bastard of the slave, he didn't understand the emperor's instructions, so he wanted to serve the emperor!" Please also ask the emperor to read that the old slave has served the emperor for decades, don't blame the slave for being old and useless! ”
"You're old!" Xu Ruixiang said with a smile, "It's so old that you've become fine!" ”
"The emperor praised it!" Zhou Hai immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Okay, don't play tricks in front of me, go and call me the stinky boy who likes to make me angry the most!" Xu Ruixiang waved his hand and urged.
"Yes!" Zhou Hai knew that the emperor would not let him turn back this time, so he immediately turned around and trotted to tell the little eunuch to hurry up and find His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes.
At this time, Xu Jingxuan was wandering around in the imperial garden, there was no way, he also wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out of the palace to find Shuang'er to cultivate feelings, but he knew that his father had been idle for the past two days, and he had to find him to "chat" at any time, so he stayed in the palace obediently.
Moreover, the Nine Emperors' Mansion outside is about to be built, and it is not bad for a few days, there is a way that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the short separation is for a longer reunion, so he will try his best to wait patiently.
"Your Highness, there seems to be a concubine in the pavilion over there, so it's inconvenient for you to go over there!" The waiter dutifully reminded.
There is no way, sometimes the master will look at a leaf, or a grass will be inexplicably in a daze, when walking, he also wanders to the body of the lord of Huanzhu, he can only be the master's eyes and ears, and remind him from time to time.
Moreover, after the crown ceremony, I don't know if it was because the emperor suddenly deliberately made it difficult for the county lord to return the pearl that day, or because the master was tired by the events at the moment, or because he had not left the palace to visit the county lord for several days, and the master's temper was a little cloudy these days.
And he has never dealt with the women of the harem, so he has to worry about if any of the concubines collide with the master by virtue of the emperor's favor, according to his temperament, no matter whether the other party is the emperor's favorite concubine or not, he will not give face.
Therefore, when he wandered around the Imperial Garden, he was always vigilant to keep his master away from the self-righteous concubines.
"Oh!" Xu Jingxuan came back to his senses and responded, stopped at his feet, and turned around to go in another direction.
But at this time, a breeze suddenly blew, and the wind was mixed with the pretentious voice of a woman.
This was originally nothing, after all, in the deep palace, if you want to win the emperor's favor, you have a sweet voice and bewitching artifice.
However, what she said offended Xu Jingxuan's taboo.
In the breeze, the woman who only listened said coquettishly: "I heard that the emperor at the crown ceremony of the Nine Emperor Princes, unusually abruptly named the Lord of Huanzhu County to compete with the people of the household, because the eyes of the Lord of Huanzhu County are particularly like the eyes of the deceased Emperor and Concubine!" ”
"No, sister, where did you hear this?" Another voice was full of suspicion and uneasiness, "Could it be that the emperor wants to take her into the palace because of this?" But looking at the emperor's attitude towards that person at that time, it didn't seem like he liked it! ”
How can anyone like it and deliberately make things difficult?
"The emperor's thoughts, when did we guess it? Anyway, I think it's eight times out of ten. Nine is true! The previous pretentious voice added, "I don't know where the former Shuhuang Guifei attracted the emperor, she is not gentle at all, she doesn't have everyone's beautiful demeanor, she has a stubborn temperament, and she always likes to quarrel with people if she doesn't leave virtue in her mouth...... Ahh............h
