Getting closer and closer to Fang Lin Yuan, Zhan Fei became more and more nervous, the sweat in his palms dripped onto the floor tiles, in his opinion, the emperor was extremely majestic, and if he was not careful, he would die.

However, at the first sight of the emperor, Zhanfei dispelled this nervousness.

The emperor squinted and leaned on an ordinary wooden chair, and the palace maids on both sides slowly used large fans to give the emperor air.

The prince sat on the bamboo couch next to him and drank tea, and the table in front of him was full of seasonal fruits, and several incense burners were lit around him.

Wang Ruoyun and Zhanfei were about to kneel, the prince waved his hand, and the eunuch who led the way whispered to them to stay here and not to move, not to speak, and to wait quietly for the emperor to wake up.

While the emperor was asleep, the mother and son secretly glanced at the emperor a few more times, which was very different from what they imagined, but it was just a middle-aged man with a big face and big ears, wearing a dragon robe.

After a while, the emperor stretched his waist and woke up, and Wang Ruoyun and Zhanfei immediately knelt on the ground and carefully shouted Long live the emperor.

The emperor smiled slightly, "Very good, very good, don't be formal, get up, give me a seat!" ”

The two palace maids brought bamboo stools for Wang Ruoyun and Zhanfei to sit down, and the mother and son sat down with their heads down and waited for the emperor to continue talking.

"Over the years, although Li Xiaofei has not taken good care of you. But your mother and son are not bad in Yuzhang, there is a noodle shop owner to take care of, and there is a private school Mr. who often helps, and ordinary people are not as good as you eat and dress well! However, Li Xiaofei is the hero of Daliang, and his family has to be supported by the imperial court! You can ask for anything, and I and the prince will solve it for you! ”

Wang Ruoyun wanted to deliberately say something that the emperor couldn't do, but after looking at the sweaty Zhanfei, he had to nod and thank him, and their details were all clear to the emperor, it seems that this Jin Liangwei is everywhere.

"Don't patronize Shane, keep your head up and talk!"

"Your Majesty, the officials of Guanglu Temple said that they couldn't look at the emperor directly, and the grass people didn't dare!"

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, you are not afraid of me, you are not afraid of the emperor in front of you, but you are afraid of a few petty officials in Guanglu Temple! Boy, why are you sweating? ”

Zhanfei was a little embarrassed, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he moved away from the bamboo bench and kowtowed.

"This is not to talk and kowtow, they also taught it! You sit down, don't be afraid, their etiquette is to outsiders, what about you, you are not an outsider here, I ask you, you can just answer! ”

Zhanfei then returned to the bamboo bench, "Your Majesty, the grass people saw the emperor for the first time, and when they came to this palace, they were really nervous and scared, for fear of saying the wrong thing!" As soon as the grass people were nervous, they sweated! The grass people didn't dare to ask the emperor for anything, as long as they had a place to live and something to eat and drink! ”

The emperor smiled, and the crown prince also smiled, "Okay, it's really innocent, what you said, I'm all right, as for where to live, what to eat, and what to drink, everything is handled by the prince!" By the way, I think you also know, Li Xiaofei is coming back soon, and when the time comes, the family will reunite and have fun in this capital, let Li Xiaofei fiddle with the treasures he brought back, and I will go to your house to see it when the time comes! ”

Wang Ruoyun knew that the emperor was nakedly taking their mother and son hostage, "The people are grateful, thank you Your Majesty, if your husband can come back, the people will definitely teach their husbands and children, so that the whole family will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang for generations!" ”

"Haha, it's all said, there's no need to be so formal, don't talk about this, you must have walked on the road for so long, and you are tired, I will set up a regular banquet in this Fanglin Garden to entertain you, but there are few people in this world

I can accompany me and the prince to eat at the same table! This courtesy, even Li Xiaofei himself may not have the opportunity to get it! ”

The banquet is indeed very simple, a plate of dried apricots, raisins and other preserved fruits, a plate of cucumbers with sauce, a plate of fried tofu with sesame oil, a plate of vinegared cabbage, only four plates of vegetables, and the eunuch then gave the emperor and crown prince Wang Ruoyun Zhanfei a small bowl of pickle porridge in turn.

Zhanfei's eyes widened, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and the emperor here had already started drinking porridge with a bowl.

Wang Ruoyun carefully sandwiched a small piece of golden tofu on both sides and tasted it slowly, she thought it was made of other precious materials, and after chewing it, it was the familiar slightly sour tofu.

This is really tofu, and the rest are also vegan, without any meat.

The emperor ate quickly, put down the bowl and told them, "I have been cultivating my mind and nourishing my mind recently, and I have wronged you today." However, it can last a long time if it is plain, and I hope you can understand that this coarse tea and light rice is the foundation of health! ”

The prince also hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, "Erchen remember the teachings of his father, his father's complexion is getting better and better, it seems that his father's health preservation skills will be able to"

Before the crown prince could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted him, "Okay, I know that you have to persuade me not to take those pills again!" I'll tell you the truth, I just took the pill so I can't get the meat fishy, this is the effect of the pill! ”

The prince was stunned, it was not good to continue, Wang Ruoyun also patted Zhanfei and asked him to put down the bowl, "The emperor's dragon body is healthy, it is the blessing of our people in the world, and the people wish His Majesty a long life and a long life of Tianqi!" ”

The emperor smiled, but suddenly remembered Li Xiaofei, this Wang Ruoyun's words just now were very similar to Li Xiaofei.

"Haha, you're very good at talking, okay, I still have something to discuss with the prince, you go back to the Xianliang Pavilion to rest for a while, my reward will arrive in a few days, stay in the capital with peace of mind!"

Wang Ruoyun pulled Zhanfei to thank him, and then he was led out of the palace by the eunuch.

Back at the Xianliang Pavilion, Wang Ruoyun asked Gu to sign the matter and made another table of meals, and the mother and son ate it cleanly.

"Mother, didn't you say that the meals in the palace are all jade plates, treasures and sage Zhong Ming Ding food, all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies? Why is it that even the emperor eats green vegetables and tofu today, is it because the emperor is short of money? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the emperor can give a banquet and eat vegetarian meals, that is not to treat our mother and mother as outsiders, it seems that your father came back this time to fight a big battle!"

The urgent report sent by Songjiangkou again put the imperial court in an embarrassing situation.

The content of the emergency report this time was that Li Xiaofei's fleet sank 13 warships of the Daliang Jiangnan Naval Division and captured more than 1,400 people of the Daliang Naval Division off the coast of Songjiangkou, and the people in the Songjiangkou area began to move to the interior.

Emperor Liu Jian did nothing but give Wang Ruoyun's mother and son a mansion next to the Guozijian, and sent ten maids, slaves and thirty guards.

The official who originally gave Wang Ruoyun broken silver was mourned at this time, not because he felt sorry for the silver, but because he would be accused of befriending and rebelling, and it would be possible for the whole family to be imprisoned and beheaded at that time.

However, in Wang Fu's view, this is an opportunity, and the emperor's rectification of military affairs will be put on hold for the time being.

Li Xiaofei, Li Xiaofei, you are too bold, knowing that your wife and children are in the hands of the emperor, you still dare to smash the cargo ship that sank Daliang, and even captured the officers and soldiers of Daliang's sailors.

But what happened next caught Wang Fu unexpectedly, the military rectification still had to continue, and at the same time, the emperor issued an edict that all coastal areas should not fight with Li Xiaofei's fleet, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Wang Fu came to Qian Jingzhi to discuss, "Brother Jingzhi, what the emperor means, is that he is afraid."

Li Xiaofei? But no matter how strong Li Xiaofei is, he is only at sea, how can he match the million-strong army of Daliang when he goes ashore? ”

Qian Jingzhi smiled, "The emperor was never afraid when he was single-handed, but now that he has the world, how can he be afraid?" With just an urgent report, the emperor will not make a decision easily! The emperor must have sent Jin Liangwei to investigate, perhaps Jin Liangwei had already reported to the emperor the true situation at the mouth of the Songjiang River. And the emperor just has more reason to rectify military affairs this time, so General Wang just does what the emperor wants, don't think nonsense! ”

"It's really not too peaceful lately, I always have a bad premonition, Wang Weiquan helped the prince arrest Xiao Kui, and now the relationship between my Wang family and the Xiao family has also become tense, there must be someone behind this!"

"General Wang, Qian still reminds you to retreat bravely from the rapids, protect the wealth, and don't have any more delusions! Qian also knows that you don't want that person to come back, but there are some things that you and I can't change, not to mention that that person's return is not necessarily a bad thing for you, General Wang! ”

Wang Fu suddenly coughed a few times, as if he was choked, "Jingzhi, you know, I betrayed him back then, if he comes back, won't I have another enemy?" ”

"The general is so confused, if you really don't have a decent enemy, you will become the emperor's biggest enemy, and at that time you won't be able to retreat even if you want to! The person who comes back is not only your enemy, but also the emperor's confidant, and the emperor must also need someone who can contain him to maintain the balance of the court and even the world! ”

Wang Fu patted his head, "It seems that I am really going to retreat, I am getting more and more confused!" By the way, I almost missed a major event, and the emperor asked me and Xiao Xian to jointly select someone to escort the prince of Gaochang back to China to succeed to the throne, but I forgot about it! ”

"General, I remember that you sent someone to escort the prince of Yelang Kingdom a few years ago, how did the emperor handle it that time?"

Wang Fu walked back and forth a few times, "Let me think about it, that time, the emperor let me be fully responsible, and no one else was involved, so I sent Wang Hui, the envoy of the Jiannan Army, to escort him, and this matter was done!" ”

"That's it, this time the emperor asked you to discuss with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, but he didn't want you to assign someone to do this anymore. In this matter, the general can let Xiao Cheng choose people, and he must not make his own claims. However, this matter seems to be to escort Prince Gaochang back to China, but in fact, it is to ask the general to hand over the military power of the Fengxiang Army first! To escort Prince Gaochang, only Feng Xiangjun is the most suitable! ”

"It's really scheming, no wonder I asked for someone to replace Wang Weiquan several times, but there was no follow-up, so it turned out to be like this. Fortunately, Brother Jing reminded me that this matter was originally linked to one ring! ”

"Therefore, General Wang must go to the Prime Minister's Mansion these days, and sincerely ask Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to report to the emperor the candidate to succeed Wang Weiquan, so that the emperor can be satisfied! The Xiao family has never been involved in military affairs, and this time the emperor will definitely pull them in, this is the emperor's mental trick! ”

Wang Fu nodded thoughtfully, "Then there is Lao Jingzhi to repair a book for me, and I will go to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's mansion tomorrow!" ”

Qian Jingzhi's dance was energetic, Wang Fu continued to walk around outside, Wang Fu felt that he was loyal enough to Liu Jian, but Liu Jian still wanted to weaken the power of the Wang family, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

The Wang family originally relied on military merits to rise to power, once they lost power in the army, whether it was in politics or business, they were not as good as other families, and Wang Fu always had a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

The Wang family, where will it go, and how will the tens of thousands of people in this whole clan be resettled once they withdraw from the army?
