Xiao Lu is the person responsible for protecting the little emperor, and the emperor trusts him, so he naturally won't avoid him if he wants to talk to Huo Shijiu.

He was the best at diluting his sense of existence, lowering his head and doing decorations on the side, not thinking that Huo Jiu would so blatantly arrange the guilt on his head.

The little emperor was suspicious and looked back at Xiao Lu.

Midori also raised her eyes in shock, her eyes surprised and innocent.

What a vicious loyal and brave man! He admits that he has not done anything excessive to him today, and he is extremely careful not to show affection in his words. Hurriedly avoided him, and he made such a scene.

He knew the little emperor's suspicions. Even someone as loyal as the loyal and brave man who has followed him for many years can doubt it, let alone him?

Zhongyong Gong is suspected, at least he will not lose his life immediately. He's different.

Even if he is cultivated and trusted by the emperor, he is just a subordinate.

Midori's nervous eyes. I hope the little emperor can figure it out. Zhongyong Gong is so face-to-face and behind-the-scenes, as long as his mind turns a corner, he can think of it.

But Huo Nineteen said: "The minister is indeed a little anxious in his heart, thinking that the green father-in-law is loyal to the emperor, and when he replies, he is worried that the emperor has misunderstood." ”

Such an explanation is a turning point for Xiaolu.

The little emperor let out a faint "um", and his face was slightly pale.

Little Green's hanging heart was put down. But a cold sweat broke out on his back. He understood Huo Nineteen's intentions. He is standing up, don't look at his relationship with the emperor is not as good as before, but he really has to deal with a subordinate. But it's not that hard! If he wants to move behind his back, I'm afraid he will have to weigh it too!

The little emperor didn't have the heart to deal with a minion at this time. If Huo Nineteen resisted the decree, Xiao Lu was not a slip of the tongue, he really didn't bring the seven catties. He wasn't going to stop there.

"Rumors and the like, I didn't expect Big Brother Ying to care. It's just that some stupid people chew their tongues as idle talk about family affairs after tea and dinner, as long as you and I do it right, why care about people's words? This sentence was taught to him by Huo Nineteen in the past.

Huo Jiujiu smiled: "I didn't expect the emperor to remember." ”

"I remember everything Brother Ying said." The little emperor was a little emotional.

Huo Jiu smiled: "Then the emperor should also remember under what circumstances the minister said this." ”

The little emperor was stunned by the question.

At that time, the British Duke was the sole ruler of a country. The government cannot be touched. The palace can't be lived, and the minister is perfunctory to him, just treating him as an ornament, and he has to pretend to be stupid in order to survive. Ruining one's reputation with one's own hands.

These words. It was Huo Nineteen who taught him at that time. In those most depressing days. It was also because of this mood that he was not crushed.

"The emperor remembers? But the emperor is now using this sentence, and the ministers are cold for it! ”

As soon as the soft place in the little emperor's heart was touched, he was pierced by the sarcasm in Huo Jiu's words.

"What do you mean?!"

"Doesn't the emperor understand?" Huo Jiu sneered.

That smile was indescribably dazzling in the eyes of the little emperor.

His meaning is clear: forcible seizure is also crowned with such a righteous and bright rhetoric. I can't help but chill, and it makes people feel cold.

His face was hot, so embarrassed, but he was forced by a courtier......

The little emperor and Huo Shijiu looked at each other silently, and the two were speechless for a long time.

Even Jing Tong and Xiao Lu sensed that the situation between the two was wrong, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"The emperor did not allow his ministers to sue the elderly, and sent his ministers to send troops, which was already a disobedience to his promise. And it is not a wise move to send troops to the country now. ”

As the Son of Heaven, he was so bluntly spoken, how could the little emperor stand it, "Then if you don't enter the palace to tell me these days, this will be an afterthought for you!" ”

"The minister thought that the emperor would use his brain to think about it."

"You!"

I haven't seen each other for a long time, the little emperor can't think of meeting again, they still can't talk well,

"I have made up my mind about sending troops, and since Brother Ying has received the order, there is nothing to say. Also, I just asked my son to live in the palace, and Brother Ying is so pushing, he really sees me as an outsider. I am also the Son of Heaven, Brother Ying is so disrespectful and disrespectful, if he is not punished, what should people think of me? How will I rule it in the future? So Brother Ying doesn't have to think about it, just send seven catties, so as not to make a move and make the Jiang family suffer. ”

The little emperor seemed to be smiling, and stood in front of Huo Shijiu with his hands in his hands.

Huo Nineteen looked at him calmly and took a deep breath for a long time.

"This is put aside in advance, and the minister still has something to say to the emperor."

"What?"

Huo Shijiu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the little emperor.

"This is the correspondence between the Nine Princes and Liu Yuanan, the current guard of the Gyeonggi Battalion, intercepted by the minister's people these days. The emperor looked at it and knew why the minister did not approve of the emperor sending troops to the Jin country. ”

The little emperor raised an eyebrow.

"Why didn't you just show up such a letter?"

Huo Nineteen shook his head and said nothing.

In fact, he was also willful this time, just to see the little emperor's reaction. It seems that he thinks too highly of himself, and it turns out that in the heart of the little emperor, his status is nothing more than that.

The little emperor glanced at Huo Nineteen suspiciously, and then turned to look at the letters. The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed, and finally he said angrily: "Are these true? ”

"The emperor should know what the minister is, there is no need to frame the Nine Princes and Liu Yuanan."

Soon after Lu Tianming fled from Yan with his cronies, the little emperor arranged for Liu Yuanan to take over the soldiers and horses of the Gyeonggi battalion.

Unexpectedly, he had such a close relationship with the Nine Princes in private.

Huo Jiu said: "Your Majesty, the Nine Princes have ulterior motives for you to send troops. The Jin country is strong, and the ministers with 100,000 soldiers and horses may not be able to defeat it, and when the time comes, not to mention the loss of labor and money, the most important thing is that there is no spare strength to take care of Kyoto. If the Nine Princes are doing their duty, it's fine, in case he has a heart of disobedience, and all the important soldiers and horses go to the front line, what should you do here? Your Majesty, you must first settle down inside when you go outside. It's good that you have great talent, but before we act, we should also clean up our own side. ”

The little emperor finally realized the severity of the matter. Holding the secret report presented by Huo Shijiu, leaning on the Luohan bed, it seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

Huo Nineteen also told him about what Cao Yu had seen quietly going back and forth in the Nine Kings' Mansion these days.

The little emperor couldn't hold his breath: "Bastard, he dares to pinch me like this!" If I had listened to him, wouldn't I have fallen for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain! ”

Huo Nineteen shook his head secretly. In fact, the little emperor has already been tricked. To say this is just to find a place for yourself.

And he also knows that the little emperor may not fully believe his words now, and he will definitely check it again.

"What the minister wants to return has already been explained, and the emperor can send someone to investigate. It's just that the minister led troops to the Jin country, but it was a big mistake. ”

"But I have already issued an edict, and the letter of state has also been issued......"

The little emperor was a little anxious, and habitually looked at Huo Nineteen. In the past, if he had something he couldn't do, he handed it over to Huo Nineteen, and Huo Nineteen would think of a way for him no matter how difficult it was.

But this time, Huo Shijiu just lowered his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, the words of the minister to return have already been explained. It was not early, and the emperor was resting, so the minister retired. ”

The little emperor pursed his lips. The two of them may never be able to go back to the days when they used to be called "dependent on each other".

Indeed, there are all kinds of entanglements between them. He did kill his family, and he didn't live with him. But didn't he fight with him several times and disobey him? He became more and more cold to him, as if he were an outsider, as if they had not experienced hardship together.

If his single-minded resignation comes from the heart, then his insistence on leaving is a small betrayal. What if he pretended to resign from office to avoid people's eyes and ears in order to do something else?

Even the Nine Princes, who he thought were the least likely to have a problem, had such ambitions......

In fact, he had thought about it earlier. After moving to the British duke, will Huo Shijiu become the second British duke who leans towards the government and the opposition?

He was about to resign, and he was really relieved in his heart.

He's ambivalent. Huo Nineteen left, he was reluctant, Huo Nineteen stayed, he was worried......

The little emperor waved his hand, "That's it, you go." ”

Huo Nineteen saluted and was sent out by Jing Tong.

The little emperor turned around and instructed Xiao Lu: "Go and check whether what he said is true." ”

"Yes." Little Green bowed and stepped back.

There was no one else in the house, and the little emperor could finally calm down and think about what he should do if the matter of the Ninth Prince was true.

I don't know if the matter of seven catties is because there is something serious to do, and the little emperor is not mentioning it.

After a few days like this, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the little emperor sent someone to invite, but Huo Jiu deduced that he had a cold and was inconvenient to enter the palace.

Sent away the chamberlain. Jiang Wei smiled and said: "If you treat the emperor like this, he is afraid that he will be angry." What shall you do to cure your sins? ”

"At worst, that's the worst." Huo Shijiu Xiaohe said, then lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Girl, it is not suitable to stay in Kyoto for a long time, and it is time for you to leave with the children." ”

Jiang Yan's smile froze on her face.

"I thought we had already discussed this topic. I have already discussed it with Mr. Du, and he will naturally protect the safety of the three children. If you go on a march, I must be with you. ”

"I don't allow it." Huo Jiu said in a deep voice: "That's the battlefield, not child's play. You girl, following me will make me worry! ”

"Don't forget who saved a group of you men in the first battle of Huangyu Mountain!" Jiang Yu was also anxious: "This matter is not discussed. Even if you go to the tiger's den in Longtan, I will definitely follow! ”

Huo Shijiu pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Yan helplessly: "If our husband and wife are all fine, that's it." If we all have something, what should the child do? You should also prepare for both, and save one for the children. You take the children and follow Mr. Du to the south to find your father and mother, and I still have ink dyeing here. ”

"Do you think that if I don't follow you with such a temperament, the emperor won't suspect it? Aren't you afraid that he will intercept and kill our children again? If I leave and leave you alone on the battlefield, it will be abnormal! (To be continued......)
