Liu Baihe walked outside the White Jade Palace, heard the sound of falling things in the palace from a distance, frowned, and followed the sound.

Xiao Luzi was guarding the door, but Lu Xi was blocking the door.

When Xiao Luzi saw Liu Baihe coming, as if he had seen a savior, he ran over in a few steps and said: "Commander Liu, you can come, the emperor came to Baiyu Palace today, just because of the matter in Guangnan Palace, he was so angry that he kept throwing things." ”

"Got it, I'll go in and have a look." Liu Baihe pushed the door into the White Jade Palace, only to see the emperor sitting at the table, the scattered porcelain fragments reflecting the light and shining.

Lu Xi stayed by the emperor's side without saying a word, but the red palm prints on his face were enough to explain a lot of things.

Liu Baihe looked at the palm print on Lu Xi's face, saluted the emperor and said, "The emperor is angry." ”

The emperor's gritted teeth looked infiltrating, even though he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, and said fiercely: "Your Majesty? What kind of emperor am I! What bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods want to ride on my head to show off their might! ”

Although Liu Baihe returned to Tianjing City for a while, he also knew what happened in the city today, and when he saw the emperor's reaction, he knew that someone was fanning the flames, and asked: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no one dares to show off your might." ”

"No?" The emperor laughed angrily and said, "Then how did this Cheng Ran Xuan die?" No matter how you say it, he is also a second-class member of the imperial court, and now that he is dead for no reason, I can't do nothing! But look, what can I do? ”

Seeing the emperor's mad dog-like state, Liu Baihe understood in his heart that most of the time it was the little Lu Zi who was a demon, so he only said: "There is no news from the eldest princess, so I think the emperor should be calm and wait for the changes." If we want to regain power, we will not take it back for a while, and of course, we will not be able to take it back for a while. ”

Lu Xi entered the White Jade Palace, and he can be regarded as the emperor's henchman, so when it comes to these words, Liu Baihe and the emperor did not avoid Lu Xi.

When the emperor heard this, his temper was slightly suppressed, and he said, "Tell me, who planned this and what it was plotting." ”

"I don't know." Liu Baihe replied.

"I don't know this, I don't know that, what do you know!" The Emperor's voice grew louder.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a strategist after all." Liu Baihe didn't react to the emperor's raised voice: "But I think that now we should find a way to make some preparations, and no matter who attacks us at that time, we will at least not be so panicked." ”

The emperor got up and paced, looking for the empty footing in the fragments of porcelain, and said, "It's me who didn't think it through, Commander Liu, you should remind me." The emperor's tone was like that of a scholar who had fallen to Sun Mountain.

Lu Xi saw the emperor looking for a place to put his feet, leaned down, and swept the broken porcelain pieces on the ground to the door with his sleeve. The corners of the porcelain were sharp, and the sleeves of his shirt were torn everywhere, and in some places there was blood.

Liu Baihe pulled him up, raised his head, motioned for him to go out, and then said: "The emperor is young and vigorous, it is normal. ”

Lu Xi got up, the red palm prints on his face were already bulging, and half of his cheeks were like a drum. He saluted Liu Baihe gratefully, quietly opened the door and went out, guarding outside the door.

Xiao Luzi looked at Lu Xi, who exited the door, with his high swollen cheeks and tattered sleeves, and laughed in a low voice: "Father-in-law Lu, you are like this, didn't you just fall?" His expression was undoubtedly schadenfreude written on his face.

Lu Xi arched his hand towards Xiao Luzi and said, "It's not appropriate to do things, and I was rewarded by the emperor with a slap, and I deserve it." After Lu Xi finished speaking, he stood still by the door, his hands were in his sleeves, and where the wound was deeper, the blood had covered the original color of the clothes, as if a few plum blossoms were embroidered on the sleeves.

Xiao Luzi saw that Lu Xi was not confronting him at all, so he was bored, and he also stood on the side by himself.

Inside the door, the emperor walked through the open space that Lu Xi swept out with his sleeves, and said: "I prepared it this way, first set up the intention, that is, to thoroughly investigate this case, severely punish the murderer, and avenge Cheng Ranxuan, and if Cheng Ranxuan's body can still be recovered, then there will be an official and burial in the Spring Tomb, in this way, what do you think?" "Chunling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu, and Cheng Ranxuan is the general who emerged when Emperor Wu was there, so there is no problem with the burial of Chunling.

"General Cheng's body must not be recovered." Liu Baihe thought about it, and said first, "Since you can kill him, there is no reason why you can't deal with his corpse." Three hundred miles from Huxi Hunan, it is easy to bury dozens of corpses. ”

"It doesn't matter." The emperor sat down again around the table, looked at Liu Baihe, and said, "You tell me first, what is my method." ”

"The emperor is wise, and he has become more and more calm recently. I thought it would work, but there were some joints that were still difficult to deal with and needed to be reconsidered. ”

The emperor's evaluation of Liu Baihe is very favorable, after all, Liu Baihe is the only means for him to communicate with the outside world, and how Liu Baihe says about him is basically the same as how his sister sees him. Not only in thinking, but also psychologically, the emperor also thought so. At this moment, after listening to Liu Baihe's evaluation, he felt three points of pride in his heart, and said, "Then tell me, what I am not thoughtful about." ”

Liu Baihe saw the irrepressible smugness in the emperor's chest, and said: "First of all, even if this matter is thoroughly investigated, Your Majesty, with all due respect, you don't have the ability to deal with it." Even if there is, the king of Quang Nam will not let go. ”

"You ......," the Emperor did not say.

"I think the best way is for you to give an order to the King of Guangnan to deal with this matter, first, you can earn a reputation, and second, the King of Guangnan can take care of this matter by himself, and we don't have to set ourselves on fire."

The emperor slammed his fist on the table, and the remaining teacup jumped up: "I, Uncle Huang, why aren't you dead!" ”

"As long as the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Guangnan Army do not disperse for a day, no matter who is replaced, it will be the king of Guangnan."

The emperor was silent and said, "What are the questions, continue." ”

"After General Cheng's death, the emperor doesn't have to bring him to the capital, just let the king of Guangnan handle it. Of course, rewards and praises, Your Majesty, you still can't miss him. ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone. There has been no news from the eldest princess for a long time, and it is not easy for me to think of so much as a martial artist. Liu Baihe said.

When the emperor heard this, he sighed, because Xu De's cleaning in Tianjing City, even Liu Baihe could no longer easily touch the eldest princess's mansion, besides, the strategists around the eldest princess seemed to be hidden these days, and the eldest princess herself was dormant like a worm.

"This matter itself is a matter of the Guangnan Palace, and being pulled to the capital is just an expedient measure, that Chu Yihai is afraid of things, and wants to throw away this hot potato as soon as possible. The water in the capital was not clear, but now it was poured, and a stone was thrown down, and the big fish were pouring in it. Your Majesty, you are just a little dragon, let's just rest and recuperate. ”

When the emperor heard this, he fell silent again, he was not stupid, but he was easy to get up, and it was easy to fall into the pit dug by others.

"What do you think, Xu De, will do?"

"I'm not Hüdger, so I don't know, but we'll see how he's going to intervene. Although I can't see the relationship between this matter and Xu De now, I guess that in the end, going around and around, it will still entangle the relationship between the King of Daoguangnan and the King of Qin. ”

The Emperor spoke no more, and sat silently at the table. The sunlight slanted in through the window and shone on him, Liu Baihe looked at his appearance, and the words hatred of iron and steel appeared in his heart countless times, but now, this boy who sat in the sun and was silent was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He is still a young man, but he must carry the banner of the Liu family, although this banner is full of holes.

"The emperor doesn't have to be angry today, things have just arrived in the capital, we just need to adapt to the time and do what we should do."

"Hmm." The emperor agreed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we'll all be standing behind you. You're still young and have the opportunity to make a big difference. Seeing the helplessness on the emperor's face, Liu Baihe thought about it, and talked about what he was going to do today: "I sent Concubine Hui out of the city today, but Xu De's army is very strict, so I should still know." ”

"Will Xu De be bad for her?" The Emperor hurriedly asked. Wan Jiao'er clamored to go home to take a look, but he had no choice but to ask Liu Baihe to find a way for him.

"Xu De is not this kind of person, he doesn't care about the life and death of a woman. The emperor can rest assured. The people who were placed next to Concubine Hui were all masters that I personally selected from the Royal Forest Army. Concubine Hui's safety must be fine. ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

"I am a courtier, doing things for the emperor, just my duty."

Seeing that the emotions in the emperor's heart had settled down at the moment, Liu Baihe said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say to you." ”

"About what."

"About Miyato."

"Miyato?"

"Yes, Miyato?"

"What's the matter?"

"I hope you will be lenient and don't beat them at every turn."

The emperor turned his head, looked at Liu Baihe, and said, "Not long after you came to me, how do you speak, it's exactly the same as your partner." ”

Liu Baihe ignored the emperor's ridicule and said: "Emperor Gaozu is strict, he has punished countless ministers in his life, and he has personally cut off hundreds of heads, but in this life, he has never done anything to two people, and he will always be kind and upright." ”

"Is it Empress Xiaoding?" Empress Xiaoding was the empress of Emperor Gaozu's main palace.

"It's not."

"Is that the Queen Mother Duanrong?" The Empress Dowager Duanrong was the mother of Emperor Gaozu.

"Not really."

"Who's that?"

"It's Emperor Gaozu's head shaver and the secretary of the imperial dining room."

The emperor's eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "Why is that?" ”

"These two, one can use a knife in front of the emperor, and the other can touch the emperor's food. Emperor Gaozu offended anyone, but he didn't offend these two people, didn't the emperor understand? ”

The emperor thought about the stakes and said, "What you said is reasonable, and I will definitely refrain from it in the future." ”

"If the emperor wants to do something, Grandpa Lu is just outside the door."

The emperor nodded and said, "You let him in." ”

Liu Baihe arched his hand, retreated to the door, opened the door and beckoned Lu Xi in.

"Your Majesty." Lu Xi didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he knelt down and saluted.

"Father-in-law Lu, I was in a hurry and hit you, please don't take it to heart."

"This ......" Lu Xi looked at Liu Baihe on the side with a puzzled expression.

Liu Baihe nodded at him, Lu Xi immediately kowtowed, and said, "We are the people around the emperor, the emperor is angry, and we are all willing." ”

The emperor was very satisfied with this answer, and subconsciously asked: "Father-in-law Lu, he is doing well recently." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xi's face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of sadness, he looked at the emperor, and said, "Teacher, teacher, he is seriously ill and bedridden, and he has been in bed for many days. “

As soon as the words were spoken, the White Jade Palace fell silent again.
