The minister of the initiation has always done his part conscientiously, and the court will not express his opinions at will, but as long as he puts forward his opinions, the emperor will think very seriously.

When this old minister was-for-tat with the King of Shu, he did not show any intention of favoring either side, he was only for the sake of all beings in the world, no matter who became the emperor, it was not something he should worry about.

"General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, Ma Teng is so treacherous and cunning can annihilate it again and again, it can be described as a rare brave general since the founding of the Li Dynasty, this time the Qiang envoy wants to ambush our army, and has also clearly expressed the hope that General Xiao will go, which shows that the Qiang people are very jealous of General Xiao, and General Xiao's ability is undoubted."

The old minister's words were loud, and he did not exalt Xiao Ge's prestige, but just on the matter, if such a general was left alone, it would be the loss of the Li Dynasty and the loss of the besieged Li Dynasty army.

After the old minister's words were finished, the court maintained tranquility, many people wanted to say something, but they closed their mouths, the emperor knew that letting Xiao Ge go was the best way to get Li Chao out of the predicament, but it was not long since the last time he sent troops to recruit Ma Teng's remnants, and Mrs. Xiao was pregnant......

The emperor didn't express his opinion for a long time, and many people's eyes secretly swept to Xiao Ge's body, he still stood straight, with a heroic face, and a hint of fierceness between his eyebrows.

"Minister, willing to go." Xiao Ge knew what the emperor was worried about, and if he could, he didn't want to leave Su Nian, who was pregnant with Liujia, alone in the capital and go to the dangerous border pass.

However, just as the same year cannot be left alone. He also couldn't see the soldiers of the Li Dynasty die in vain, he was the general of the Li Dynasty. For a day in this position, he shouldered the responsibility of guarding the people of the Li Dynasty. This is not pretentious justice, but a sense of responsibility.

The emperor looked at Xiao Ge who knelt down on one knee in the hall and asked for help, his heart was a little blocked, he had known Xiao Ge for more than ten years, thinking that back then, Xiao Ge's father suddenly rose to prominence, and was reused and trusted by the emperor, Xiao Ge entered the palace to meet him who had not yet been established as the prince.

They have similar personalities and have the same hobbies. How many close friends can people meet in their lives who are really willing to stick a knife in their ribs? The emperor sometimes laments his luck, although he has become the son of the Li Dynasty, and the height is unbearable, but he has not lost his friend who can understand him, how happy it is.

Xiao Ge once mentioned to himself that when the situation in the Li Dynasty calmed down, he would take Shen Sunian to leave the capital, find a peaceful small city to settle down, and live his quiet life leisurely.

When he was heard. The emperor has some regrets in his heart, but Xiao Ge has done his best for him, and the emperor wants to keep it. Not a word can be uttered.

So be it, let him live the life he wants, the power of the prime minister. As long as the prime minister is restrained, nothing else should be feared. After a while, Xiao Ge will be able to live the pure life he wants.

But I didn't expect it. He needs to go on the expedition again.

In order to boost the morale of the Li Dynasty army, he only appeared far away in the rear of the barracks, and the blood and shouts blown by the wind from the front of the battlefield baptized his people, so that when he returned to the capital, he was praised by the emperor for being more resolute.

And Xiao Ge is not, he can't keep shrinking in the rear to deploy troops, he is going to appear in front of the camp when he is in need, this danger can be imagined, what it means to go on the expedition, he must be more clear.

"Please allow the emperor." Xiao Ge still knelt there on one knee, although his head was bowed, his entire back was straight, and the line from his neck to his waist was a smooth and beautiful arc.

The emperor secretly took a deep breath, "Quasi-play." ”

There were small and fragmented voices in the court, Xiao Ge got up and stepped aside, as if those voices had nothing to do with him.

The Xiao family is in the capital, and they didn't have time to climb relatives with other powerful families, the Xiao family started to take root in the capital from Xiao Ge's father, in addition to Xiao Ge, the Xiao family also has two daughters, who were born to Xiao Ran by Bai Yurong, although they are younger than Xiao Ge, but they came out of the cabinet before he married a wife.

Under Xiao Ran's care, the two daughters married just ordinary families, and because they saw Bai Yurong's status in the Xiao family since they were children, they were not close to her.

Xiao Ge married Shen Sunian, a daughter-in-law who had no help at all, in the capital, the Xiao family was almost isolated, the rise and fall of the Xiao family only depended on the emperor's attitude, Xiao Ge was a lonely minister, and there was no rest of the friends, which was not good for the Xiao family.

Before, these active-minded ministers speculated about the emperor's intentions and collectively impeached Xiao Ge, that is, because the Xiao family had no other involvement, they dared to do so.

At this time, there were obviously people in the court who had objections, and just wanted to stand up and start playing, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the eyes of the emperor, which were the eyes of the real son of heaven, not angry and arrogant, and coldly seemed to be able to see through everything, "The army of the Li Dynasty is waiting for reinforcements to be imminent, General Xiao is the first soldier, he is willing to lead troops to support, if he feels that he is more competent than General Xiao, he will start playing, if not, delay the military situation, I will definitely be strict!" ”

No one squeaked down there, it's okay for them to fight in the court, let them really fight, it's better to kill them directly.

Therefore, the emperor ordered Xiao Ge to take reinforcements to go out immediately to support the besieged Li Dynasty army, and set off on the same day.

After retiring from the court, the emperor left Xiao Ge behind and sent all the envoys out, "Don't worry, your wife I will take care of you, don't get into danger." ”

"Emperor Xie, the prime minister also asked the emperor to keep an eye on it, the apprentice of the minister's wife is still in the prime minister's mansion now, and the minister's wife is very worried."

"I know, I know, are you sure in your heart?"

"......, to be honest, it's a bit hanging, the Qiang people have no quarrel with the world all the year round, why did they suddenly target the Li Dynasty this time, the minister did not find the reason in his heart, even if the army will defeat the Qiang tribe, there will still be hidden dangers, so it is imperative to send someone to investigate the reason, the Qiang tribe cannot design the army of the Li Dynasty for no reason, there must be some reason here."

The emperor saw Xiao Ge with a straight face, analyzed with him seriously, and sighed, "No matter what, be careful, your wife is ...... there, and the time to say hello can still be left for you." ”

Xiao Ge Shane, when he withdrew, he stopped again, "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to be presumptuous, if the minister can't come back, please remember the relationship between the minister and you for so many years, take pity on the minister's wife, and ensure that she is safe, happy, rich and healthy all her life." ”

Xiao Ge's face was a little unreal to the emperor, the light was bright and dark, but the emperor could depict the seriousness and piety on his face.

Three expeditions, Xiao Ge said these words to him three times, each time, the emperor would hear a shocking momentum from Xiao Ge's tone, he was serious.

Every time, Xiao Ge earnestly entrusts Su Nian to the emperor, he really wants to be by Su Nian's side for a long time, but sometimes, he can't make a choice, so Xiao Ge has to make the most complete plan for Su Nian, even if she is gone, she can live the rest of her life safely.

"I promise you."

The emperor replied equally seriously, not using "I", but "I", as Xiao Ge's best friend, agreed to him.

Xiao Ge smiled slightly and left slowly.

Although the holy decree said that he would leave on the same day, Xiao Ge still went back to Xiao's mansion, and when he walked to the courtyard, he happened to see Su Nian standing in the middle of the courtyard, slowly stretching his body.

Listening to Su Nian, this is a kind of action that can help her give birth in the future and make the child smarter, Xiao Ge was shocked at first and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly found Mo Ziqian to diagnose her pulse, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that it was okay.

There is a hibiscus tree next to Su Nian, the branches and leaves cut the sunlight into fine light and shadow, sprinkled all around Su Nian's body, she still likes to wear plain clothes, light crescent white, lining the skin is better than snow, from behind, almost no change in her waist, black hair is scattered behind her at will, in the yard, she is always so idle, saying that her hair is in a bun and her head hurts.

Flat lifting, stretching forward, Su Nian's movements were gentle, his slightly sideways face was quiet and indifferent, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were quiet and calm.

Ah Lian waited on the side, inadvertently saw Xiao Ge's figure, hurriedly reminded Su Nian, and sent the sweat towel in his hand over.

Su Nian stopped moving, looked at the gate of the courtyard with some confusion, took the sweat towel over, and gently pressed the fine sweat on his forehead: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

“…… Missed you. Xiao Ge didn't know why, he didn't realize that he was a numb person before, and he seemed to be able to say anything crooked to Su Nian.

Ah Lian was stunned, quietly retreated, and then ran away, by the way, the rest of the people in the courtyard were beckoned away, leaving this place for Su Nian and Xiao Ge to be alone.

Su Nian walked over and pulled Xiao Ge to sit down, his eyes lit up, "Come and tell me, I'm so likable." ”

"......", Xiao Ge sat down and looked at her funny, "Didn't I say enough?" ”

"It's not enough, it's not enough, Meiyan said, there are two people in your arms, and you have to hear two compliments, so that you can be happy physically and mentally and give birth to a child who loves to laugh."

Su Nian said it seriously, and Xiao Ge reached out and rubbed her hair, "Keep it for now, wait for me to come back, and tell you slowly, okay?" ”

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, and the delicate smile on his face slowly put away: "Where are you going?" …… Did something happen to Mo Song? ”

Xiao Ge nodded, told her the matter softly, and after finishing speaking, he quietly waited for Su Nian's reaction. (To be continued......)
