If it was in the past, if the little emperor had such a thing, Huo Shijiu would definitely play a round for him to help him find the bottom of the stairs, and he would make the emperor like to be decent and decent in his heart. But now, Huo Shijiu no longer has that kind of mood.

He even thought that maybe he was wrong to blindly protect and bear the burden in the past. It is precisely because he takes too careful and cautious care of him that the little emperor has developed the temperament he has now. Seeing the little emperor standing on the ground with his hands in his hands, there was a slight smile on Rong Chang's face, and Huo Shijiu opened his eyes.

It's just to raise a child, and it's time to learn to walk after all these years. There is no reason to always ask him to carry it on his back, can he still accompany him for a lifetime?

"The emperor has already planned it." Jiang Yu said with a smile: "In the court and politics, the emperor will naturally hold the handle in his hand, and when all the problems are solved, I believe that the emperor will also become a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people." ”

What is this? It's the turn of a female streamer to comfort herself?

The corners of the little emperor's lips rose and he smiled faintly. If he had been dissatisfied, he would have beaten them. He can't do that today. Being in the Huo family, he seemed to be able to feel the gust of wind on his back, and the dead people of the Huo family were whimpering in the wind and wanted him to pay for his life, plus he would have to rely on Huo Nineteen to do things in the future. The unscrupulousness towards Huo Nineteen in the past is now completely restrained.

"Brother Ying's complexion is not good, but you have to rest more, don't be too sad and tired, I am still counting on you." It was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk in front of Huo Nineteen.

"Emperor Lao is worried, and the ministers are fine." Huo Shijiu couldn't bear it in his heart, and sighed: "I'm busy with funerals these days. Neglect of things in the palace. Now that the emperor seems to have lost a lot. But isn't the food fragrant these days? ”

In the past, Huo Nineteen would often care about his diet and daily life. Especially when he was still young, and during the time he was in the other courtyard, how much was his food, clothing, housing, transportation, food and clothing, which Huo Nineteen didn't ask every day?

I used to think that he was a little nagging by his mother-in-law, but no one asked about it these days, even though no one dared to treat him, a puppet emperor who existed in name only, the kind that used to be nagging. Now it is also what he thinks is precious.

The little emperor's face was flushed, and he said in a good mood: "Xu is worried about the affairs of the house, because he is not in a good mood, and he eats less, Brother Ying, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"That's good." Huo Shijiu smiled lightly: "The emperor's good days are still ahead, you must take care of yourself more, if the dragon's body is damaged, and you have to bother to deal with government affairs in the past, isn't it a loss of yourself?" ”

"That's what Brother Ying said." The little emperor was even more happy.

Jiang Yu continued to play with the plain silver ring. It seems that the little emperor is not completely emotionless for Huo Shijiu. But I really care so much. And why did things get to where they are today? A person's heart is broken, where can three or two sentences of false concern be repaired?

The little emperor smiled when he saw Huo Nineteen. He also took the initiative to speak, put aside the matter of visiting the Emperor of Jin for the time being, and ordered Cao Yu in front of the door in a loud voice: "Ink dyeing has also worked hard these days, and Brother Ying and Sister Ying have places that can't be taken care of, and you have to worry a lot." ”

Cao Yucheng saluted in fear: "The emperor commands, and the ministers should be the commanders." "He is hiding outside, and he can still call the emperor by name, which is really helpless.

Finally regained some face, and the mood improved, the little emperor sat on the main seat, and said: "Someone offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to the head of the British duke, these days I heard that there have been many thieves in the Guogong Mansion, but no group of people can succeed, alas, it seems that the people in the rivers and lakes may not be able to go to heaven and earth to do everything." ”

Huo Shijiu said with a smile: "What the emperor said is very true, we have made many arrangements over the years, and we have not succeeded once. In addition, after the British duke injured himself, the defense of the house became more rigorous, and when he returned home, it was like squatting into an inverted iron bucket. Even if the people in the rivers and lakes are strong in martial arts, they may not be able to break into such a tight defense. It's just that the British public is disturbed. ”

"Speaking of which, the person who posted the post bounty probably expected that no one would be able to hurt the British public, right? But this person has so much courage, and as a woman, I really want to befriend her. ”

The little emperor's words moved several people's hearts. Cao Yu gathered his mind and listened attentively to the words of the little emperor.

Jiang Yu smiled curiously: "Did the emperor guess who this person is?" ”

"Sister Hugh is going to be so funny. Who in the world has the financial resources, and who has the reason to offer a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for state affairs? In addition to Miss Yang, the head of the Bandung ticket number, who else is there? The little emperor looked proud, and said with a smile: "You are good friends with Miss Yang, I know, and you thank her for me when you go back." Looking at Huo Nineteen: "Speaking of which, I am rich in internal funds, and I also owe her money." ”

When Yang Xi first came to Kyoto, he bribed Huo 19 heavily. Huo Shijiu's subordinates did not keep a penny of their own money, and gave it to the emperor.

Huo Nineteen chuckled silently.

Jiang Wei said: "I am good friends with her, but this matter may have nothing to do with her." Britain is full of public evil, and there are patriots who are not accustomed to seeing him as a prestige, and it is not surprising that he contributes money and efforts. Moreover, although Dayan has had traitorous ministers in power for many years, the people are still living very well, and they have recovered the lost Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and completed the unfulfilled wish of the emperor, which is all the credit of the emperor. People in the world are not stupid, they naturally know the emperor's hardships, and it is not surprising that Britain is regarded as a mortal enemy. ”

Jiang Yu said this, just because she didn't want the emperor's attention to focus on Yang Xi. A girl's family has a huge amount of property, how good is it if she is targeted? In the face of ordinary people, Jiang Wei believes that with Yang Xi's wisdom, she will not lose. But what about an ordinary businessman when facing the Son of Heaven?

Even if this son of heaven is useless, he has no real power. He can't do big things, but it's easy to deal with an ordinary person.

The little emperor seemed to know what Jiang Yu was thinking, and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister's friendship with that Yang girl is really unusual." ”

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Huo Shijiu had already said first: "Miss Yang's side is indeed grateful, as the emperor said." A little thing done by an ordinary person can still make the emperor remember it, which shows that the emperor is benevolent and kind. ”

It's a good sentence. The little emperor heard something else. Why do you think that Huo Shijiu is satirizing him for being ungrateful.

Wrong. Huo Nineteen didn't know the truth.

It seems that he is a thief. Think in a bad direction about everything.

The little emperor was embarrassed, "Brother Ying is dedicated to me, and there are also eccentricities." ”

"What the minister said is the truth."

After talking for a while, the little emperor saw that the hour was almost up, and said, "I should go back too." Now Qijin is very fond of sticking to me, he is smart, he already knows people, and he calls Xu Shi Niang, who is newly arranged, all day long. If my sister misses her child, she can go to the palace at any time. ”

Jiang Yu said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

She really misses seven pounds. Yesterday was the day when she turned seven pounds old, and she also dreamed that the child grabbed an abacus and a sword when she caught Zhou, and in the dream she thought that the child might be a civil and military all-rounder in the future, she laughed and cried. Today, the person who caused the separation of their mother and son dared to mention it to their faces, Jiang Yu really hated the root of her teeth, and she had to make a grateful appearance.

The group sent the little emperor away, the sun was shining, and the emperor was on a private visit, only bringing Jing Tong and dozens of guards. At this time, Jing Tong held an oil-paper umbrella high to shade the emperor. Huo Jiu, Jiang Yu, and Cao Yu followed closely behind him.

I just went out of the instrument gate, but I saw a dark blue short brown. The little guy wearing a small hat came quickly, and kowtowed to the group from a distance: "Back to the Hou Ye, the British Duke is here." ”

"Nope."

"Master Hou, the British Duke has already entered the mansion at this time and is coming here."

Huo Nineteen furrowed his brows.

The little emperor sneered: "Only he can do such a rude thing." Without the permission of the master's family, he dared to break in. ”

"He now feels that the government is completely in control of his hands, and he has the absolute ability to be frivolous about the government in an instant, and Dayan is about to change his surname to Cai, where will he take care of it." Huo Nineteen said: "The emperor should go back to the palace first, and the ministers will meet him." ”

If it was in the past, the little emperor would have been happy to do so. He had no way to deal with the British duke, and he was afraid that it would be inappropriate for the British duke to take the handle, and he told him to do whatever he could ask Huo Nineteen to face.

But now that his mood has changed, he is a little worried that the relationship between Huo Jiujiu and the British Duke will ease.

After all, Huo Jiu was the only bargaining chip he could trust now to defeat the British Duke, and he didn't dare to have any negligence.

"If I don't go back, I'm going to meet him and see what he thinks of coming to the door!"

Huo Shijiu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since this is the case, the emperor will come with him." A few people returned to the antechamber as they spoke.

Because it was inconvenient for Jiang Yu to show up, she went to the arhat bed where the red sandalwood carved magpie climbed the branch and laid the official green mattress between the tips on the east side of the front hall, which was not only convenient for resting, but also could hear the conversation outside clearly.

In a short time, the British Duke arrived at the porch.

"I thought that the Marquis of Jinning would come out to greet the old man. Unexpectedly......" As soon as the subordinate lifted the curtain, the British detective came in, and when he saw the little emperor again, his voice stopped abruptly, and then he smiled and arched his hand casually: "It turns out that the emperor is here." No wonder Marquis Jinning stayed here to accompany the emperor. ”

"The British Duke is here? Sit down. The little emperor sat in the first place with his identity.

Huo Shijiu got up and bowed his hand, as casual as the British Duke's movements, pointed to the emperor's upper position, and said, "The British Duke's status is precious, please sit down." ”

The British Duke sat down unceremoniously, took out the delicate embroidered purse around his waist, took out the delicate wooden comb of rhino horn from it, and leisurely combed his beard. Around him, eight sturdy guards stood in position to protect him. If there is no one around, it is not like being in someone else's house, let alone in front of the emperor, but he is in the back garden of his own home.

He was like no one beside him, and the little emperor who was watching was angry in his heart. Their new hatred and old hatred have long been incompatible, and what he wants has never been to simply defeat this person, but to cut this person with a thousand knives in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Huo Shijiu was much calmer, and ordered people to serve refreshments.

The British Duke looked at the delicate tea bowl and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't dare to eat tea here in Jinninghou, I still want to turn around and walk out of this house easily and unharmed." ”

The British laughed. Huo Shijiu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "If it is so easy to poison you to death, what are these years?" The British Duke is one of the best heroes, and he can be taken lightly. ”

"Jinninghou's entire family is dead. I didn't expect that my mouth was still very slippery. It seems that there is no father and sister. It doesn't have a big impact on you, and you're still very close to the emperor here. ”

As soon as the little emperor heard this, the hairs on his nervous back stood up. Did the British know something?

At this juncture, he and Huo Shijiu are the closest to each other. If the British Duke exposes the matter, what will happen to Huo Nineteen? Will he not believe it, or will he be skeptical?

Huo Jiu smiled and said: "As a courtier, what the emperor thinks should be shared, hasn't the British duke always been like this?" Moreover. Although my parents are gone, I'm still there. As long as I am in the day, my allegiance to the emperor will not change. Although his ability is limited, he can't do everything, but he can't do anything to be sorry for the emperor. ”

"Tut-tut, it's really moving." The British Duke pressed the beard at the corner of his lips to make sure that the glue was sticky, and then carefully put the small wooden comb in his purse, and laughed mockingly: "I don't know why Jin Ninghou said this?" I'm sorry for the emperor's business, of course you won't do it. The old man won't do it either. Not necessarily for others. ”

He got it! He must have known!

The little emperor's face was as pale as paper. Arrogant, he successfully quit the drug addiction of Wushisan. The British duke has always been lukewarm to him, and has lost the allegiance and mildness that he once paid lip service to. Today, it has become so intensified, it seems that he has really laid out the carriage and horses. The little emperor instantly had a feeling that he had to send an arrow on the string.

"That's what the British said. Both of them are my humerus ministers, and others don't say good things about me, but both of them can be trusted. ”

"What the emperor said is very true." The British public echoed it, but his eyes were even more mocking.

The little emperor's face was hot when he looked at him, his heart trembled, and even his palms were sweaty. This matter can't be known to Huo Shijiu, it must not!

The little emperor's panic was particularly obvious on his blood-stained face, and the British public was happy to see it, and Huo Jiu saw the contradictions in his heart.

However, both of them only glanced at it and did not pay much attention to the matter.

Huo 19 said: "I haven't asked the British public to visit the Humble House for advice?" ”

"I can't talk about teaching. I just wanted to ask if you would be interested in coming to me. ”

He choked in front of the emperor like this!

Not only the little emperor, but even Jiang Yu, who was resting on the side, was very surprised.

After Huo Shiyi was stunned for a moment, he already understood that the British public must have known what the emperor had done. He believed that the British Duke might not really want to win him over for his own use, but simply wanted to make the little emperor isolated, and he was also punishing his heart.

Huo Shijiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you, British duke, for inviting me to your mansion in person." But I'm in a mess right now, and I'm really not in the mood to go out and about. The British public is so gracious, I am afraid that I will be disappointed. ”

As soon as he heard Huo Jiujiu, he deliberately misinterpreted his words into a British prince who invited him to enjoy the game. The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

The British Duke is smiling and smiling at the little emperor and Huo Nineteen, and the matter is really ridiculously tight, could it be that people like Huo Nineteen in the city government still have no regrets after the emperor's persecution?

If that's the case, I'm afraid Huo Jiu is not loyal and filial, but stupid!

Since he can't do anything, the British Duke is not afraid of being a bad person, so he simply put it bluntly.

"Huo Ying, the old man's talent and ability, if you are willing to come to the old man, the old man can ensure that you are healthy and prosperous for the rest of your life."

Huo Nineteen laughed heartily when he heard this.

Huo Nineteen rarely laughed like this. He has always been cautious and noble in front of people, but now he laughs so exaggeratedly, as if he wants to laugh out all the stuffiness in his belly. This was an anomaly in the eyes of the Emperor and the British Duke.

Sure enough, when Huo Jiujiu stopped laughing, a storm was already brewing in his eyes. But what he is best at is suppressing his feelings, and he will never show anything when it is inappropriate. Yi only smiled and said: "Even if it goes on like this now, I will still be healthy and prosperous for a lifetime, and the British Duke is now diligent in government, and when the emperor's political affairs are on track, the British Duke will be very idle when he thinks about it, and many things can be done in person, and do you care about me?" ”

The British Duke originally didn't expect Huo Shijiu to follow him obediently, he just wanted to disturb the little emperor's mind, and he was not surprised at all to hear him say this. Standing up with a smile, he congratulated him: "Your Majesty, the old minister deliberately said that, just to try the loyalty of Marquis Jinning for the emperor, sure enough, if you want to be more loyal, if Marquis Jinning calls himself the second, no one can be called the first." Even the old ministers are ashamed of themselves. ”

One bite and one loyalty, the British public clearly knew the inside story and deliberately took advantage of the time he was still in Huo Mansion to stimulate him. The little emperor hated it so much, but he was also glad that the British prince had not told the truth.

"Isn't the British Duke loyal to me? I said that both of you are my humerus, and the Emperor of Jin is about to visit, and under the busy state affairs, I will have to worry about the two of you. ”

"For the sake of my Great Yan Jiangshan, even if the emperor doesn't give orders, the old minister will naturally do this." The British Duke didn't want him to really become a treasure one day in the future, but what he inherited was a mess that couldn't be solved.

The little emperor nodded, "I rely on the British duke." ”

Huo Jiu was too lazy to think about it, the excitement of the British Duke was almost inseparable, and it was time to go back.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Nineteen's idea came to him, the British Duke got up and left. Before leaving, he didn't even say goodbye, he just stood up and walked out.

The little emperor's face turned blue with anger, and he said fiercely: "Sooner or later, one day I will cut you with a thousand knives!" ”

"The emperor is angry." Huo Shijiu said gently: "In anger, it is easy to be impulsive and not remember the consequences, and the emperor doesn't want to make an irreparable mistake if he makes a mistake, right?" Here, the emperor really doesn't need to be too entangled. Don't you trust your ministers? ”

"I naturally believe it!" The little emperor's blood seemed to be flowing backwards, and he said that he believed it, but he was not convinced in his heart.

Huo Nineteen ordered someone to prepare a car and send the little emperor back to the palace. (To be continued......)
