The crown prince naturally didn't know the emperor's plan, he prostrate on the ground and pleaded again: "What my father said is true, but the Qin clan is just a small tribe, and there is no need to be afraid at all, and the sons and daughters do not have to go to the front line to follow General Shi, but they are sitting firmly in the rear, and there will be no accidents. ”

The emperor looked at his son back and forth, and it took him a lot of strength to suppress the anger in his heart, and he refused in a deep voice: "There is no need to say anything about this matter, I will never agree, retreat!" ”

Pei Shu wanted to say something more, but a sharp voice suddenly came from the door: "Your Majesty, report urgently at the border!" ”

The emperor chuckled in his heart: "Spread quickly!" ”

The young general with the urgent letter from the border pass knelt down with a puff, and even omitted the salute directly, and directly raised the letterhead in his hand: "Your Majesty, the Qin clan suddenly attacked, and the border has lost two Zhuangzi in a row." ”

Pei Shu looked at the messenger in disbelief, the Qin clan had already sent troops in such a short period of time? looked up at the emperor who was at the head of the emperor again, and hurriedly urged: "Father, the border has begun, and now you can't hesitate anymore. ”

The emperor looked at the letterhead in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Pei Shu, and still refused in a deep voice: "I have already said, you have something to do when you stay in the capital, and you don't need to ask more about the affairs of the border pass, now I still have important things to do, the prince should go back." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and the chief manager saw that Pei Shu was still kneeling and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, dragged it twice, didn't move, and whispered to his ear with a bitter face: "Prince, you go back first, the emperor has already made a decision, it will be useless for you to kneel like this again, don't make the emperor unhappy." ”

Pei Shu got up with the strength of the chief manager, but in the end he was unwilling, he threw his sleeves out of the imperial study with a gloomy face, and the chief manager bowed down to send people outside, Pei Shu suddenly stopped and turned his head, staring at the chief manager with two eyes: "Does my father have other arrangements?" ”

The chief manager hurriedly smiled and said, "What did the prince say about this?" The old slave didn't understand. ”

"You and I know the relationship between my father and Pei Yuan, and I accept him as a deputy general, and the danger is not unclear to my father." Pei Shu narrowed his eyes, if Pei Yuan was allowed to become famous in a battle and wash away his reputation as a scholar and prince, I am afraid that the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty would throw themselves at him even more.

General Shi is not young, and the time of holding the talisman in his hand is too long, and when he returns from the battlefield, who is the next owner of this talisman, it all depends on the performance of everyone on the battlefield this time, and he doesn't believe that his father will not take these things into consideration.

"Prince, this is a major national event, how can I dare to participate indiscriminately, but the old slave still has to persuade him, the emperor is all for your good." The emperor ordered that some things were not allowed to be mentioned to the prince, and even if the chief manager had the intention to help the father and son ease the relationship, he did not dare to say more.

Pei Shu knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he only snorted coldly and went down the stairs to leave, the chief manager sighed and turned around and went in to reply, and the emperor sat on the top and looked at him coldly: "Let's go." ”

"Yes, the prince asked the old slave to tell the emperor about his crimes, and today is a bit reckless." The chief manager helped Pei Shu say good things with a smile on his face.

The emperor glanced at the chief manager, snorted coldly, and scolded: "Everyone is gone, and you still speak for him, but it's hard for you!" ”

"This ...... It's not that the old slave is afraid of the prince and the emperor, in fact, the prince also wants to share the emperor's worries, so you can be sympathetic to the prince's filial piety. The chief manager was embarrassed to make up words when the emperor saw through it, so he had to persuade honestly.

"I am dedicated to his good, but he is so ignorant, and only you say good things for him, I can still not understand him." The emperor thought that when he taught Pei Shu in person when he was a child, he was also an extremely smart child, and he didn't want to become so disappointing in the past few years, and he was really ruined by two women.

The sooner the war is started, the sooner he has the opportunity to kill Pei Yuan, he has already arranged everything, just wait for Pei Yuan to set off with his troops, if he can't grasp this opportunity this time, waiting for Pei Yuan to come back after making military achievements, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.

"Why didn't the emperor tell the crown prince about your intentions? The emperor and the crown prince are father and son, as long as things make sense, the prince will definitely thank the emperor for his dedication to the prince. The chief steward persuaded bitterly.

"Did he notice something?" The emperor looked at the chief manager, saw that his face had changed, and asked in a cold voice, "Did he ask you?" ”

The chief manager nodded and didn't dare to hide: "Don't worry, the old slave didn't say a word." ”

The emperor sighed, and after a long time, he said: "You watched him grow up from a young age, don't you still know his character." ”

The crown prince is now competing with King Xian in everything, so he is naturally unwilling to use yin tricks against him, even if he kills Pei Yuan, he will appear to be invincible, which will only make him feel more humiliated.

The chief manager also sighed after thinking about this, saying that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, but the emperor really tried his best for the prince: "The emperor really took everything into account for the prince." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly, his son is useless, he, as a father, naturally has to worry more about him, he decided to deal with Pei Yuan, naturally he can't let him go along, if Pei Yuan has an accident, the spearhead of the hundred officials will be the first to point at him, not let him join the army, but not let him step into the swamp and mud.

When Pei Yuan is solved, when all the obstacles on his way to the throne are cleared, at that time he will always understand his hard work, sitting in this position, where will it be so easy.

The emperor was thinking about these things in his heart, and a eunuch outside the door came in and said, "Lord Yang Shuo, please see you outside." ”

The emperor's originally gloomy expression eased down, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile: "Xuan." ”

Yang Shuo followed the chief manager into the imperial study, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground: "Weichen Yang Shuo greets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

"Yang Aiqing doesn't need to be polite," the emperor raised his hand to signal to get up, "I came to you here, presumably Yang Aiqing already has a number in his heart." ”

It was not the eunuch who went to send a message to Yang Shuo, but the secret guard beside the emperor, and after hearing the emperor's meaning, Yang Shuo was suddenly surprised.

But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, even if some things are known to be difficult, they still have to follow the messenger into the palace, but they still try to refuse: "General Shi and King Xian led the troops, and Weichen was mixed in them, I am afraid that people's slight words will not have any effect, I heard that the prince asked for his life, if the prince is with them, it will definitely be more suitable than Weichen." ”

Yang Shuo's reaction was already expected by the emperor, if he agreed to it, it would make people feel that this person was not reliable enough: "Yang Aiqing don't have to worry, I gave you this task, so I naturally took all aspects into account." ”

The emperor motioned to the chief administrator to take the two holy decrees that had been written on the imperial case to Yang Shuo: "With these two holy decrees, Yang Aiqing can naturally run rampant in the army. ”

Yang Shuo looked at the Holy Decree with a shocked face, but he was secretly happy in his heart, if this mission was completed, wouldn't it be easy for him to rise to his position after returning to the Dynasty.

"But," the emperor stared at him intently, not missing any of his subtle expressions, "giving you this right is not for you to mess around, you also know General Shi's character, if you don't take the war as the standard, I'm afraid that even if you have the holy decree to protect yourself, you won't be able to please you." Got it? ”

"Weichen understands that Weichen will live up to the emperor's expectations." Yang Shuo knelt down with the holy decree in his hand.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the chief administrator behind him: "Go, these two holy decrees can now be sent to the Xianwang Mansion and the General's Mansion." ”

When the eunuch who passed the decree left the palace, Jintai received a letter from his father again, this time the trouble at the border was even more serious than before, she frowned and handed the letterhead to Pei Hao on the side: "Look at it, it is estimated that King Xian and they are about to leave." ”

Pei Niting was lying on Pei Hao's lap, and when she saw him frowning after reading the letter, she hurriedly stretched out her little hand to touch his face: "What's wrong with uncle?" ”

Pei Hao took her hand down and laughed: "Is it okay for Tingting to follow her aunt at home?" Uncle is going to Uncle Yuan's place, you obediently don't make trouble at home. ”

Pei Niting pouted: "Tingting is also going to Uncle Yuan's house to play." ”

Jintai hugged Pei Niting in his arms: "The two uncles have something to say, Tingting is obediently waiting at home for the uncle to come back and bring you candy, okay?" ”

Pei Niting stretched out her little finger: "I want two." ”

"Okay, Uncle will bring you two." Pei Hao pulled his little finger with Pei Niting, and then went to look at Jintai: "I'll go and talk to the royal brother, you can help me take care of her." ”

After Pei Yuan read the letterhead brought by Pei Hao, he was a little puzzled in his heart: "They seem to be too easy, is the defense of the border so weak in the past two years?" ”

"General Gu and General Shi are not here, who knows what is going on over there." Pei Hao thought of the content of the letter, and couldn't help but be angry: "I heard that there is no one left in Zhuangzi, this Qin Mu is really cruel, and it will not be easy for you to face him in the future." ”

Pei Yuan scraped the tea lid, and there was no emotion on his face: "The more this is the case, the more unpopular it will be, okay, it's just that the day of departure is earlier, I know this matter in my heart, you go back to accompany Jintai and Tingting." ”

As soon as Pei Hao left, the people in the palace arrived in the palace, Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe directly to receive the decree, and the eunuch who delivered the decree saw Shen Jiahe and asked hesitantly: "Lord, the content of this decree is about military matters, is it not appropriate for the princess to be here?" ”

Pei Yuan pulled Shen Jiahe and didn't move: "The princess and this king are a family, and this king has nothing to avoid or hide from her, so let's announce it." ”

The eunuch didn't dare to offend again, so he had to unfold the holy decree in his hand and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, now the border is moving ......"

"Since it's about border matters, and now that the war situation is urgent, please ask my father-in-law to talk about the key points directly." Pei Yuan listened to the nonsense in front of him, and his face was a little impatient.

The eunuch was shocked, and said that this king does not show mountains and dews on weekdays, but in fact, his hands and eyes are extraordinary, and the border matter was only sent to the palace by the messenger in the morning, and he had already received the news when he asked King Xian.

The eunuch didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly continued: "The emperor appointed Lord Yang Shuo Yang as the supervisor of this army. ”

"There are already generals and lieutenants in the army, why do you want to send a supervisor over, the emperor obviously doesn't trust you. Then why not just change the general, isn't this just adding to the blockage? As soon as the eunuch left, Shen Jiahe couldn't help complaining, she looked at the holy decree in her hand, and hated to throw it directly on the ground and step on her feet.

"Don't you know the character of the person above? When he appointed me as an adjutant general, I vaguely guessed that he would make a move, but I just didn't expect him to send a prison guard. "It's just a prison guard, Pei Yuan doesn't look at it yet.

Shen Jiahe casually handed over the holy decree to Gonggong Fu, and then took Pei Yuan's hand: "It's not that I'm wronged for you, it's good to work hard for others, I feel aggrieved when I think about it." ”

Pei Yuan felt that it didn't matter, he had already seen through the so-called family affection of the royal family, and he invited to fight only for the sake of the people of Liming: "The general is not subject to foreign military orders, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, you don't have to worry too much." ”
