Chapter 206: Crying
However, due to the presence of the British Gong, Jing Tong's movements did not dare to be too big, so as not to be seen by others, so as to Huo Shijiu only did not see it, and did not show the slightest entanglement and doubt, turned around and gave way to the British Gongqian, and said to Jing Tong very politely: "I am tired of Jing's father-in-law." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Jing Tong saluted again and again, and there was a sense of joy and pride on his delicate face, but more respectful and polite: "Please wait a while for Grandpa Guo and Master Hou." ”
The British Duke waved his hand at Jing Tong.
The two of them stood in front of the door of the imperial study, and at the same time looked in the direction of the moon gate. Jiao Zhongyi and Hongfeng, who came with Huo Nineteen, were standing under the glazed tiles of the vermilion wall with the fifty lightly armored cavalry. Everyone looked awe-inspiring, paying attention to the direction of the imperial study, as if the British prince made a slight move, these more than fifty people could immediately turn into tigers and wolves and rush up, eating their flesh and drinking their blood.
The British Duke has experienced a lot in his life, but such a stubborn oppressive force was only felt by the first emperor when he was there. Since then, he has been vigilant and committed to protecting himself, and the best way to protect himself is to eradicate the enemy......
Today, in the presence of those who had always treated him with all the deference, he had once again tasted such intense oppression. The tension that he hadn't experienced in many years swept through his heart again. Although there was no emotion fluctuation on Fangzheng's face, cold sweat secreted from his back. He couldn't help but wonder what would have been the result today if he had done something to the emperor with a thought a few days ago.
"Is it true that Big Brother Ying is back?" The voice of the little emperor in the house faintly came out of the lattice fan.
Huo Shijiu's heart was shocked, but he turned around very calmly.
The vermilion lacquer rhombic gate of the palace was slowly pushed open, and the little emperor dressed in red brocade clothes strode out happily.
Outside the Moon Gate. Jiao Zhongyi saw that the emperor was unharmed from afar. Tears welled up in his eyes. Kneeling on one knee, the mountain shouts long live. The fifty horsemen behind him turned over and dismounted in unison. The shouts of the men are enough to make people's blood boil. 、
Pei Hongfeng was stunned when she saw the little emperor, she had indeed seen him when she was in the Marquis of Jinning's mansion, and at that time her girl said that this person's identity might be more noble, she didn't believe it, but now she really believes it, and at the same time has a new understanding of the relationship between Huo Shijiu and the little emperor, and she also knelt down and saluted.
The little emperor's face was ruddy. The complexion is fair, as if he has been pampered and pampered these days, and he has been raised a lot whiter. Seeing Huo Nineteen, just like when he was a child, he was as happy as a bird out of the cage, dancing around the handsome immortal, "Brother Ying, why are you back!" ”
"Your Majesty." Huo Nineteen lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on his knees to make a big salute.
At this moment, when the child who he watched grow up and take care of him reappeared in front of him, Huo Shijiu's heart was truly let go. Of course, he will not forget how he left Kyoto in the first place. This child is deliberately alienated. Deliberately designed, all with good intentions to keep him safe. Even if Jiang Yu was injured because of that plan, it was not his original intention. They are not only monarchs and ministers, but partners who share weal and woe, the first emperor and he are sworn brothers, although the little emperor refuses to admit it, insisting that he be a big brother instead of an uncle, but in Huo Jiu's heart, the little emperor is always the child who held the hand of the first emperor and smiled at him shyly, and then the little adult generally talked to him.
Huo Shijiu's excitement and relaxation were well hidden, the moment his forehead touched the ground, the cold floor tiles in the palace made his mind clearer, and he said with some crying: "The minister heard that the emperor is sick, and the grandfather of the country is looking for famous doctors for you all over the world, so he can't stay in Jinzhou, and he rushed back day and night, the emperor is fine, it's really good!" ”
The little emperor laughed, pulled Huo Nineteen with both hands, and said, "Big Brother Ying is not here, I also miss you, thanks to the British Gong, I have only recovered now." These days, I'm really biased towards the British public. ”
The British public hurriedly bowed and said: "It is a great honor for the old minister to share the emperor's worries, and his liver and brain are also smeared." It's just that the emperor is asked to take care of the dragon body, and my Dayan Kingdom can be guaranteed! ”
The little emperor nodded again and again: "What the British Duke said is that I should indeed take care of my life." Therefore, the affairs of the court will continue to work for you. ”
The little emperor didn't take this opportunity to pro-government!?
Huo Jiu was shocked in his heart, but he also knew that the little emperor would never fight a battle that he was not sure of, and maybe there was something in the hands of the British duke.
The British public pretended to excuse himself: "The emperor's dragon body is becoming more and more peaceful, how can the old minister dare to exceed the rules." It's not in line with the rules either. ”
"The rules are set by man, I am the Son of Heaven, and what I say is what it is." The little emperor frowned, looking very impatient.
The British Duke immediately knelt down and kowtowed in fear: "Yes, the old minister obeys the order." We will not fail in our mission. ”
The little emperor seemed to realize that he was a little too impatient, coughed, and said with a great sense of making amends: "The British public has worked hard and made great achievements, and I understand and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart." Hurry up, please. ”
"The old minister is terrified." The British Duke stood up and stood with his hands down.
The little emperor looked at him with a smile. Neither said anything to let him leave, nor did he talk to Huo Nineteen.
The British public saw that it was useless to continue to stay, and they had to provoke the emperor's disgust, so they retired.
As soon as he left, the little emperor waved his hand at Jiao Zhongyi and the others in the distance, signaling them to flatten, and then pulled Huo Shijiu's sleeve and eagerly let him into the imperial study.
Jing Tong naturally stayed outside the door and guarded it, not allowing anyone to approach.
Jiao Zhongyi and the cavalry got up, and when they saw that the Son of Heaven was safe, everyone seemed to have a backbone, and stood straight to see the only son of the British Duke leave, and everyone had a kind of pride and vigor of victory.
The British duke hid it in his heart and left calmly. Seeing him go away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Because no one expected that the British Duke would not be arranged in the palace today.
In the imperial study, the little emperor and Huo Shijiu sat opposite each other on the circle chair near the window, and they were speechless for a while. After a long time, Huo Shijiu said, "How is the emperor doing lately?" ”
The little emperor bowed his head and said, "I'm fine, why did Brother Ying come back." Didn't I say I wouldn't let you come back? I sent you away with good intentions, you should stay in Jinzhou for a good time, why do you want to come back, or come back so strongly, and fight him like this, it will be even more difficult for me to protect you in the future. ”
"Minister, how can you ignore the emperor's crisis knowing that the situation is in crisis? Does the emperor think that the ministers are greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
"You are not afraid, now you have your own home, you have a son, a wife, and your parents rely on you, I am already like this, look at the current Yan country, internal troubles are difficult to get rid of, external troubles are strong, the court is in chaos, and the people's lives are also difficult, even if I have a heart, I am always in a disadvantage, and I am really helpless."
The little emperor was only fifteen now, but the old demeanor and tired tone were as if he was already fifty, which made Huo Jiujiu's heart ache, and he couldn't help but cross the small table with his long arms and pat the emperor's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, you have not completed the important task entrusted to you by the emperor, the country is to be rectified, the traitors are to be eliminated, you are still young, the most high-spirited time, how to make words and sigh?"
Then he softened his tone and said softly: "Your Majesty, let go of your heart, no matter what, the ministers will accompany the emperor." ”
"Brother Ying......" The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu, his eyes were helpless and hesitant, his voice was choked and trembling, and he actually shed tears: "I, I don't know what to do." I thought I was going to die. ”
Huo Shijiu couldn't imagine that the little emperor would cry and express his grievances, and he forgot to even call himself "I". In his heart, it was like there were 10,000 hands grasping and twisting, and he couldn't help but get up and go to the little emperor, squatting in front of him, holding his shoulders and looking up at him and saying, "Don't be afraid, the emperor is here." There is a minister in everything. ”
The little emperor choked up, looking at Huo Shijiu's handsome face with teary eyes, and in his memory, there was also a day when he sat alone on the circle chair in the dormitory, his legs still couldn't reach the ground, and his feet were shaking boringly. It was winter, the palace people in the dormitory were lazy, they didn't burn the charcoal basin, and the bedding on the dragon bed was a little damp, even if they got in, they might not be warm for a long time. He has no father, and his life is worse than that of those ordinary people outside the palace.
It was at that time that the palace gate was pushed open, and the sunlight shone into the palace that was not lit in the evening, pulling a handsome figure into a slender one.
At that time, Huo Nineteen was just in his early twenties, with a stunning appearance and a noble temperament. He entered the palace in a big coat, saw the palace without lighting and charcoal basins, and ruthlessly ordered the palace maid and the little chamberlain to be killed with a cane. Then squatted in front of him and said gently: "Don't cry, the emperor is still here." ”
He only realized then that he was already crying, and his tears and snot were hanging down on the placket of his clothes.
At that time, he looked up slightly at the man crouched in front of him.
Now he was tall enough to look down on the man when he sat down.
But in the face of his handsome appearance and concerned eyes, he couldn't help it anymore, and would rather just be a child who could only look up to him.
The little emperor sniffed, pounced on Huo Shijiu at once, and cried with his hands around his neck.
Huo Jiu patted his back comfortingly, his distress couldn't be worse, and he only muttered: "Don't cry the emperor, the ministers will protect the emperor." Don't cry ......"
Jing Tong stood in front of the door of the imperial study, staring at the tips of his shoes with a half-hung head and an expressionless face, listening to the movement in the room, but his nose was inevitably sour.
After waiting for a while, the crying in the room finally weakened, and then there was a low voice of conversation, and after another moment, Huo Shijiu walked out.
Jing Tong's eyes were red, and he gave Huo Nineteen another look.
Huo Shijiu wanted to step down from Danqi's footsteps and paused slightly: "Gonggong Jing? (To be continued......)
