On June 26th, the early dynasty, the biggest thing in the court today, is that Xu De, the king of Qin, is sick and does not go to court. Since Xu De entered Beijing, this is the first time he has been unable to go to court due to illness. Only then did the people in the court sigh that Xu De was nine out of fifty after all. The most afraid is the twilight of the hero, and the beauty is yellow.

Although no one in the court mentioned this stubble, the people in the court were all pregnant with ghosts, and a few families were happy and a few were sad.

After a few battles of words, Xu De was not there, and the dogs under his command were obviously inferior to those old ministers who had been in the court for decades and had rich experience in scolding, and they were defeated one after another, but it was Wu Dakai who spoke amazingly several times, so that several old ministers looked at him a few more times.

After arguing for more than an hour, and most of the affairs were finally settled, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, felt his temples swell a little, and wondered how his father and grandfather had endured the minister's scolding.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." The old eunuch swept the dust and said the words that the emperor was most looking forward to today.

"Congratulations to the emperor!" Hundreds of officials bowed down when they heard this, but the words were still echoing in the Daming Palace, and there was a "report" with a long tail sound from the golden road. ”

By the time the ministers stood up again, the soldier had already handed over the military report in his hand to the eunuch standing outside the Daming Palace.

The eunuch took the military report, stepped quickly, and delivered the military report to the emperor.

The little emperor picked it up and looked at it twice, his brows first furrowed, and then, his brows stretched out again, and when he saw the end, he slapped the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, the imperial general is really a tiger general." Immediately, he saw the puzzled expressions of the ministers under his ranks, and explained: "The imperial general encountered the Jin army who had committed the border and robbed the property at the border, beheaded more than 50 ranks, and obtained 100 war horses. ”

Hearing this, the ministers below congratulated one after another, and the imperial Yan suddenly became conspicuous in the crowd.

Liu Xian said on the side: "The imperial general has made outstanding achievements, and it is really the Great Wall of my Han Dynasty. ”

Yu Yan responded with a smile on his face, although he didn't see the specific content of the military report, but he was wondering why hundreds of people often acted together on the side of the Jin army in the past. This time, although it is said that there are more than 50 levels of beheading, no matter how strong the Jin Army's ability to escape is, these more than 50 levels should have half of the team, and the Jin Army of more than 100 people is on the side?

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Yu Yan in their hearts after listening to the war report, that Wu Dakai, who was born in Wuxun at home, although he himself has no experience in the battle formation, but after listening to this battle report, he faintly felt that it was wrong, but the good interest of the emperor and those old ministers, whether it was Xu De's dog legs, or the group of people who claimed to be loyal ministers, were unwilling to stir up, only that the monarch was holy and the courtiers were loyal.

At this moment, Na Xu De was sitting in the car returning home, and beside him, Feng Tianshou was still sitting.

"Lord Wang, do you see Feng Tianshou's bag that set off today, it's really shabby. The gifts given by Wu Dakai and these people were all discounted into the Salesian Bureau. When Feng Tianshou said this, he obviously revealed a trace of pity.

"A man with a good name is more difficult to deal with than a man who is greedy for money and lustful." Xu De closed his eyes to recuperate, but his words were full of anger, and he was clearly not sick.

"But the prince, how capable do you say this Guo Yi's Yin and Yang Mathematical Method?" Feng Tianshou learned from Xu De that the princess's pregnancy was actually interpreted by Guo Yi's dream, and he has always been worried about this problem, he didn't believe in these so-called magic numbers in the past.

"It's hard to say, after all, he's only used it once in front of me." Xu De still didn't open his eyes, but he recalled in his mind that Guo Yi's convoy was rushing away, and the smoke and dust raised were all over the city wall, and he couldn't tell whether this step was right or wrong.

At this time, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted by Li Tie, and a battle report was handed in, which was obviously copied not long ago, and the ink on it was still a little damp.

Xu De looked at the knight who was on the road in front of the carriage, far away in the smoke and dust, and asked Li Tie, "Who sent it?" ”

"Xu Ge. It is said that it was copied from the hands of the messenger of the army. After speaking, Li Tie lowered the curtain and continued to return.

Feng Tianshou was obviously also interested, and leaned his head over. The military reports in the west generally do not reach the imperial court, and they all go directly to the Qin Palace, but the military reports in the north are more troublesome, and they have to go through the Daming Palace.

Xu De opened the curtain on the side of the carriage, and by the light, unfolded the military newspaper, Feng Tianshou stretched his neck for a long time, and read the military newspaper with Xu De. Immediately, the two looked at each other and did not say a word. Xu De took the military newspaper into his arms, lowered the curtain again, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"There's a deception, lord." A fox-like smile appeared on Feng Tianshou's face.

"I also don't think it's right, why did Jin Guo come to give so many people more than 100 people this time to give the head of the royal tiger?" Xu De stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Do you want to relax Yuhuzi's vigilance?" ”

"I'm afraid not, although Yuhuzi is a martial artist, but he is thick and fine, this battle report will fool the little emperor, he must know that there is a problem. My old Feng can see the problem if he doesn't go to the battlefield. ”

"A few days ago, the spies came to report, saying that some big people left the capital, presumably they went to the front line, and those people in the royal family of the Jin Kingdom really started a war, and most of them were powerful characters." Xu De added.

Feng Tianshou nodded, counting carefully in his heart, the leading generals of the Jin Kingdom have always been powerful characters, in the past, Wan Yan Liang of the former Emperor Wu and Emperor Wan Yan Jing of the first emperor, and the current Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wan Yan Honglie, can be regarded as a genius in military control, could it be that the leading general of the Jin State sent a fool this time?

"Can you know who it is?" Feng Tianshou asked again.

"It may be Wanyan Ke, the king of Shouhai, the thirteenth son of Wanyan Honglie. Others are not in Dadu. ”

Feng Tianshou shook his head, he really hadn't heard of this Yan Ke. However, the Emperor of the Jin State broke the news after ten years of Yan Honglie Defeng, suffered a stroke, was paralyzed, and ignored the government. His younger brother Wanyan Changluo took up the title of regent, and Feng Tianshou thought that this general should also be Wanyan Changluo's descendant.

"Whatever, we can't have a headache in the internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom, even if something goes wrong, Yuhuzi will take people's heads against it." Xu De narrowed the double line again: "Besides, this Yuhuzi is also an extraordinary person, if you want to eat his Yan Main City, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

Feng Tianshou also nodded, and continued to ask, "Is it still stuck in Qamdo?" ”

As soon as Xu De heard it, he knew that Feng Tianshou was no longer asking about the north, but about the west, nodded and said, "The fourth child probably told me that the new foreign minister of Tubo, called Lu Dongzan, is a powerful character. Moreover, after the death of Mang Buzhi, this person quickly completely unified the chaos in Tibet, and also went to the front line to supervise the battle. ”

"Xiao Zhengdao didn't enter Ding Qingcheng, is he doing trouble?"

"The second and third led the troops to attack Ding Qingcheng from the north and south, and let the fourth one take the soldiers and horses to mobile support, Lu Dongzan chose to take the initiative to attack, gather troops, and open the city gate to attack the second army. Don't fight with us. No matter how heavy the losses are, we will force our soldiers and horses back to Qamdo. ”

Feng Tianshou knew how difficult it was to send grain and grass to the current Qamdo, so he couldn't accuse Xiao Zhengdao of inaction in retreating to Changdu.

"I'm afraid that after the summer, the weather is getting colder, and it will be even more difficult to get in." Feng Tianshou said intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu De was not talking, as if he was asleep, Feng Tianshou also squinted his eyes and learned Xu De to raise his mind.

The atmosphere in Xu De's carriage was stagnant, and the Ansheng Palace was lively at the moment. The little emperor is in a very good mood today, and Gao Lishi, who has just recovered from illness, looks even thinner, and his waist is bent down. But seeing the emperor's eyebrows fluttering, he told about the small victory in the north, and told that Xu De might be seriously ill. His spirit seems to be much better.

The little emperor was there talking about the praise of the ministers for him, and there was a bit of pride in his words, Gao Lishi didn't speak, but Xiao Luzi was vigorously advocating the little emperor's martial arts.

"Companion, tell the imperial dining room to pass the meal." The Emperor's young voice sounded full of confidence.

"Yes." Gao Lishi listened to the emperor's instructions, turned around and said a word outside the palace gate, and after a while, the eunuch came over with people.

Because the emperor wanted to make every effort to govern the country, follow the example of the first emperor, and reduce each meal to thirty-two dishes, Xu De heard this and didn't care at all, so these thirty-two dishes became the rules of the palace again. But the food boxes that flew and danced were still full of a big table. These days, the emperor has not let Xiao Luzi test the poison, and the guards sent by Xu De are outside the palace gate, so he takes chopsticks and walks around the dining table, seeing what to eat.

This kind of behavior is not only inconsistent with the rules of the ancestors, but also carries great dangers. But when Gao Lishi saw that the emperor was in charge, the confident brilliance on his face still silently chose to obey. Xiao Luzi was happy when he saw the emperor eating, and he was naturally happy. Every day, the palace maids and guards are dismissed, and the moment when the emperor is alone is the time when he is most satisfied.

At this time, the emperor walked in front of a dish, and it turned out to be a whole deer head, which still looked hideous after steaming. The emperor felt a chill in his heart, looked at the silver stick, and how did he know that the name of this dish was actually called the head of the dragon. The emperor himself is the true dragon emperor, isn't cutting off the dragon's head to cut off his head, the emperor was furious at first, and was about to have a seizure, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart, thinking that it was not Xu De's old thief who wanted to harm me?

All this happened quickly in the emperor's mind, and Gao Lishi and Xiao Luzi still stood by the side with their hands down, not noticing the change in the emperor at all.

The emperor swallowed, the Adam's apple slid up and down on his neck, and he looked at the silver skewer again, and the person who made this dish was called Xu De.

Xu De Xu De, Xu De Xu De.

The emperor's mind went blank for a moment, and today's joy was squeezed out of his chest by fear, and his hand holding the jade chopsticks was even visibly trembling. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Luzi and Gao Lishi, neither of them noticed his strange appearance at the moment, he was about to call someone, but the words of the eldest princess suddenly appeared in his heart, and his mind suddenly cleared up, and he said in his heart: This Xu Demo is not the one who is from those gangs.

This thought appeared, the emperor's heart instantly became hot, he endured the cold in his heart, stretched out the jade chopstick, added a piece of meat from the deer's cheek and put it in his mouth, although the taste was not bad, but the deer's hideous expression was deeply rooted in the emperor's heart.

Finally swallowing this venison, the emperor forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "This dish is very well done!" Omemo, I want to reward this cook! ”

Hearing this, Gao Lishi obviously felt that something was wrong with the emperor, but he still took the silver slip and gave it to the eunuch who was waiting outside, the eunuch looked flattering, and ran away with the silver book as if he was holding a holy decree. ”

"Let him in." Colliers commanded.

I saw a person coming in from outside the door, twenty people, tall and tall, although he was wearing a dress in the imperial dining room, but he couldn't cover his handsome appearance, especially a pair of sword eyebrows, which really looked like two swords. The man entered this Ansheng Palace, did not panic at all, came straight to the emperor, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he knelt down and saluted, and said: "Minister Liu Baihe, I am willing to kill the thief with the emperor!" ”

The voice of these words was not loud, and the eunuch who passed the meal did not hear it, but in the ears of Gao Lishi and Xiao Luzi, it was tantamount to thunder on the ground, and Xiao Luzi even raised his right hand to pinch his left hand to prevent himself from crying.

"Get up and speak." Because the little emperor knew the origin of this person, he was naturally not as shocked as Gao Lishi and the others, and looked at this person with admiration.

"Yes." Liu Baihe got up and stood in front of the emperor.

"Cooking this dish, didn't you find the meal in the imperial dining room?" This is the emperor's biggest question, and it is difficult not to attract attention to such a shocking dish.

"Your Majesty, you overestimated Xu De." Liu Baihe's face was expressionless, but when he said this, the emperor was greatly encouraged, and the implication was that the emperor underestimated the eldest princess's operations over the years.

"You are civil or martial."

"A minister can play with a knife."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and the guards sent by Xu De could take his life at any time: "Can you always follow me?" ”

"I can't." Liu Baihe shook his head: "Xu De's guards are all his henchmen, and it will be difficult for me to get out of the slightest disturbance." That Xu Ge is a master. ”

The light in the Emperor's eyes dimmed.

"I will be stationed in the imperial dining room, not far from here, if Xu De does something, I will be the first to arrive. In addition, I will find time to pass on the news from outside to the emperor. ”

"Your Majesty, it's almost time." Colliers never spoke, but then he reminded him. If it takes too long, it arouses suspicion, but it misses a big thing.

"Then I really have to give you something." The emperor looked left and right, picked up a jade ruyi, and handed it to him: "I have nothing to give you." As he spoke, he even had an apologetic expression on his face.

"I can't take the jade Ruyi," Liu Baihe put down the jade Ruyi, looked at it casually, picked up the jade chopsticks used by the emperor, and said, "This thing is the least suspicious." After speaking, he withdrew from the Ansheng Palace, knelt down outside the palace gate, held the pair of jade chopsticks high with both hands, and said loudly: "Thank you for the emperor's reward." After saying goodbye to the eunuch Chuanshan, he went back to the imperial dining room.

The emperor had no intention of eating at the moment, and silently recited the man's name: "Liubaihe, Liubaihe." ”

Today's sun is also very scorching, and when the emperor eats, the guards naturally do not dry out, and they hide under the eaves of the side palace to sit and rest in the cold.

A person came along the palace wall from a distance, and one of the guards saw that it was Xu Ge who went to deliver military reports to Xu De, and quickly called a few others, stood up and sorted out his clothes.

Xu Ge approached, the sweat on his face flowing down the hideous scar, he looked at the guards and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Back to my lord, no."

Xu Ge nodded, and also sat down beside them, and the guards also sat down when they saw this. Before the guards expected it, the emperor had already found his sword.
