Chapter 53: Garrison on the Frontier

Qin'er and the other five sisters are ready to go to Greentown. Qin'er thought that if the five sisters sat in a double-horse-drawn sedan chair at the same time. Then it would take two coachmen to drive the horses, so Qin'er ordered the new Ding Xiaoshuai and Mi'er to go with them. In the early morning of the next day, a group of seven people greeted the rising sun and went all the way east to Greentown.

On the second day after Qin'er and others rushed to Greentown, the emperor privately summoned the eldest prince to meet urgently. This Prince and Prince Cheng are both the princes and the eldest sons, although the emperor has not appointed a prince, but the emperor always consults with the eldest son when he has something. Therefore, in the hearts of the ministers, the prince can be said to be the emperor's default candidate for the crown prince, and Prince Cheng does not seem to be valued by the emperor.

Although he summoned the prince in private, the emperor still sat on a mahogany chair with a solemn expression. Prince Yi knelt on the ground and saluted, and said, "The son knocks to see his father." The emperor said, "Yi'er, get up quickly." The Father has important matters to consult with you. Prince Yi stood up and bowed his head to listen to what the emperor continued.

At this time, the emperor's expression was very solemn, and he said slowly: "Yi'er, these days, the surrounding small countries have always repeatedly violated my borders, I am ready to send a prince to take the lead in garrisoning the frontier, you are the eldest son, naturally you can't send you there, you see who your younger brothers send to go?" ”

Prince Yi frowned and arched his hand, and said: "Father, the son thinks that Cheng'er's younger brother is the same as me, and he is both wise and brave, so it is only appropriate to send him there." The son doesn't know which of the younger brothers of the son of the emperor is the emperor's favor? ”

After hearing this, the emperor smiled slightly and replied: "Yi'er, it seems that you and my father and son really have a heart, and you and your father want to go together." Cheng'er can indeed take on a big responsibility. Much better than your cousins. Then let Cheng'er go. In addition, tomorrow in the court, I will also order all the first-class members who have sons in the family to send at least one son to follow Cheng'er to garrison. Do you have any doubts about this? ”

Prince Yi knelt down and said: "Father Emperor Shengming, you set an example and let Cheng'er's younger brother go, and of course the other first-class officials must also set a good example for the ministers." The idea couldn't be better. In this way, the stability of the frontier is the blessing of all people! Father is really a king through the ages! ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Yi'er, you should step back first." My father is going to rest early today. Prince Shi Li retreated.

After Prince Yi retreated, the emperor immediately called the head of Qida and asked him to go to Prince Cheng's mansion to spread the emperor's message: Cheng'er needs to take the initiative to apply to be stationed in the frontier tomorrow morning, and he must be an example for the ministers. Don't hesitate!

The head of Qida has been serving the emperor for many years, and he can guess the emperor's thoughts accurately. When he heard the emperor's words, he already knew the emperor's intentions in his heart. He smiled and said to the emperor: "If the slave is not wrong, the Holy Lord, you want to train Prince Cheng to prepare for the future." ”

The emperor nodded and smiled: "Da Qizi, you are really a roundworm in the stomach of a widow." Don't show my true purpose to Yi'er and Cheng'er. The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles. Got it? With a smile on his face, the general manager of Qida bowed and retreated.

The chief manager of Qida rode a fast horse alone and went straight to Prince Cheng's mansion. After arriving, the head of Kaida came to Prince Cheng's room. There were only two people in the room, and the head of Qida read the emperor's edict to Prince Cheng.

After reading it out, the chief manager of Qida said: "Prince Cheng, you have to take care of your precious body this time!" Prince Cheng said: "Thank you for your concern, I don't know if there will be a day to return?" ”

The head of Qida smiled meaningfully and said, "It's a pity that the old slave is the one who is missing." Otherwise, wouldn't the eldest husband Jin Ge Iron Horse be beautiful! Prince Makoto smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.
