After Xiao Yuxian finished speaking, he paused slightly, his eyebrows showed a hint of meaning, he glanced at Xiao Jingcong again, and snorted: "Brother Jingcong, are you right?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is serious, I, Xiao Jingcong, am just an ordinary person, if I can really shake the Jingshi, I won't even be able to find out if a general is missing." Xiao Jingcong sneered, looked at Xiao Yuxian without any dodging, and continued in his mouth: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, what do you say?" ”

"Heh, Emperor Jingcong, don't worry. Maybe that General Xiao Yan was delayed by something, maybe he would show up tomorrow? This prince thinks you should think about what you are going to do next! ”

As soon as Xiao Yuxian's words fell, without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to react, Yan Zixi, who had been standing beside Xiao Jingcong and did not speak, took the lead in asking: "Going on the expedition?" What's the sign? Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what do you mean by this? ”

"What? Don't you know? When Xiao Yuxian heard this, he looked at Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong with a pretended surprise on his face, and replied with a triumphant smile: "Oh, that's right, the emperor has approved the proposal of this prince, and decided to send the peerless general Xiao Jingcong to the north to guard the territory of the Great Xiao Dynasty and prevent the attack of Northern Liang and Yuan Xia!" ”

"What, such a big thing, why didn't the emperor tell my husband in person?" Yan Zixi was very puzzled, and now she was even more anxious like a pot of ants on a hot pot, completely messed up, and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingcong still kept his composure, and reminded Yan Zixi beside her, asking her to go out first to calm down, and then he stood up and confronted the second prince Xiao Yuxian.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you are really a good means, this king has just been reinstated, and you are in a hurry to drive this king out of the capital? You don't want to see this king so much? After Yan Zixi left, Xiao Jingcong closed the door, and didn't give Xiao Yuxian any good looks, and asked directly in a cold tone.

Xiao Yuxian remained silent, still maintaining a sneer on his face, he clasped his hands around his chest, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Brother Jingcong, what are you talking about?" Why do you think of this prince like this? You are the foundation of my Great Depression, my father said so. Now that Beiliang and Yuan Xia are eyeing me Daxiao, General Xiao Yan has suddenly disappeared again, and the burden of guarding the frontier will naturally fall on you, except for you, there are no other generals in the imperial court who can fight well, so ah, Brother Jingcong, this time I still have to bother you to work hard! ”

Xiao Yuxian immediately put Xiao Jingcong on the fire and roasted it, and his reason couldn't make Xiao Jingcong refuse at all.

Over the years, the Great Xiao Dynasty has had infinite scenery and prosperity on the surface, but only Xiao Jingcong knows that this is just the tranquility before the collapse of the building. All the darkness is dormant in the light, once the emperor dies, it will definitely shock the government and the public, and shock the world, that time is the real critical moment of the Great Depression.

Now Beiliang and Yuanxia Chen Bing are outside the pass, eyeing the Great Xiao, I am afraid that they have also received the news and learned that the emperor's life will not be long in coming, so they are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the day when the emperor dies, and launch a surprise attack on the Great Xiao.

Xiao Jingcong will never let this happen.

Therefore, even if Xiao Jingcong is a hundred unwilling, no matter how much grievances Xiao Jingcong and the second prince have, they will temporarily put aside their personal enmity and go to the front line without hesitation, but solve this crisis.

Da Xiao must not die in his hands!

Xiao Yuxian is very smart, it is precisely because he sees Xiao Jingcong's this, he will actively advise the emperor, let Xiao Jingcong go on the expedition, the emperor has no reason to refuse, and Xiao Jingcong will never refuse in public and private, which makes Xiao Yuxian's plan easy to succeed in the first step.

As long as Xiao Jingcong can be transferred out of the Beijing Division, looking at the entire government and the opposition, who else is his opponent? At that time, even if the emperor refuses to pass on to him, he can directly force the palace, and the throne will be at his fingertips at his fingertips, even if Xiao Jingcong wants to return to the side of the Qing monarch with troops, it will be too late.

The power is in hand, the situation has been decided, Xiao Yuxian can smear Xiao Jingcong for the crime of treason, and it is difficult for Xiao Jingcong to do anything even if he has military power.

Of course, as a last resort, Xiao Yuxian didn't want to come to this point. His initial plan was just to drive Xiao Jingcong out of the capital, so that no one would be able to oppose his logical succession to the throne.

And Xiao Jingcong didn't know the little abacus in Xiao Yuxian's heart, but did he have a choice?

He didn't!

Xiao Jingcong's teeth were gritted and gurgling, his eyes stared straight at Xiao Yuxian, and he coldly spit out a few words, "I'll go to the emperor to ask for an understanding!" ”

"No need to go!" Old friends Chinese network

Xiao Yuxian saw that Xiao Jingcong was going to enter the palace to face the saint, so he stopped him from behind, "Brother Jingcong, you also know the body of your father, and now not everyone can see it." ”

After a slight pause, Xiao Yuxian took out another holy decree from his arms, "Besides, Brother Jingcong, you don't need to go to any palace to see the emperor, this holy decree has been brought to you by the prince, you can see for yourself!" Saying that, Xiao Yuxian handed over the holy decree.

Xiao Jingcong turned around, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, opened it and took a look, the content written on it was really the same as what Xiao Yuxian said, and the payment was also the seal of the jade seal of the country, and it would never be faked, it seemed that it was really the emperor's will.

"How is it, Brother Jingcong, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Yuxian saw that Xiao Jingcong was stunned in place, and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked again.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Jingcong raised his head and hugged his fist at the heavens, "Jingcong will definitely live up to the grace of God if he accepts the order!" ”

"Good, good!" When Xiao Yuxian heard this, he walked over and patted Xiao Jingcong's shoulder vigorously, and said with an appreciative face: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being my peerless general of Da Xiao, the pillar of Da Xiao!" Da Xiao has Emperor Jingcong's brother here, you can sit back and relax, this prince is waiting in the palace for the triumphant voice of Emperor Jingcong's brother! ”

Saying that, Xiao Yuxian laughed out loud, and walked towards the outside of the main hall, before going out, Xiao Yuxian stopped, and reminded Xiao Jingcong sideways, "By the way, Brother Jingcong, the holy decree is very clear, three days later will be the day of your expedition, I hope that Emperor Jingcong will prepare as soon as possible, don't delay the journey of the expedition, when the time comes, this prince will personally come to see you off for Emperor Jingcong!" ”

After saying this, Xiao Yuxian swaggered out of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

And Yan Zixi, who had been eavesdropping outside the main hall and did not go away, saw Xiao Yuxian leave the general's mansion, so he hurriedly rushed into the main hall, frowned and yelled at Xiao Jingcong.

"Jing Cong, you must not fall for the second prince! People make it clear that even if they want to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, they will deliberately transfer you away from the Beijing Division! If you leave, no one in this court and the opposition will be able to stop him! ”

Xiao Jingcong held the holy decree tightly in his hand, and sat down on the rattan chair behind him, his face no longer had the previous look of aura, but his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and he sighed leisurely.

"Xi'er, how can you not know the intentions of the second prince as a husband? But...... But the decree is true! The holy decree in Xiao Jingcong's hand was pinched out, and he looked like he had nowhere to go.

"Even if it is...... Even if the decree is true, you can go and ask the emperor for clarification...... Or simply pushed the matter off...... Let's go, now I will accompany you into the palace to meet the emperor and explain this matter clearly. Saying that, Yan Zixi came over to pull Xiao Jingcong up, but this time unexpectedly, Xiao Jingcong gently shook off Yan Zixi's hand and did not get up with her.

"Jingcong, Jingcong, what's wrong with you? Do you really want to listen to the second prince and go on the expedition in three days? Yan Zixi was already in a hurry, and she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Jingcong smiled bitterly, and said with a serious face: "Xi'er, you don't understand, there is no choice for your husband!" ”

"No choice? How could there be no choice? Da Xiao is so big, it's impossible not to even find a general with troops, let's go talk to the emperor again, can't we just find someone to replace you? Yan Zixi didn't understand the situation in the court, and only persuaded Xiao Jingcong according to her own judgment.

"Xi'er, don't say it, no one will stand up for this. Except for his husband, no one would be willing to go to the north to resist the combined march of the Northern Liang Kingdom and Yuan Xia...... And for such an important matter, the husband is not at ease to hand it over to others, if General Xiao Yan is here, he may be able to ...... Now that he is gone, it is even more of a duty to be a husband! ”

Xiao Jingcong's righteousness and strictness made Yan Zixi unable to find any reason to refute at all.

Yan Zixi was stunned, although she was still anxious in her heart, she couldn't think of any way at all. If a person suffers from any incurable disease, maybe Yan Zixi can still find a prescription to cure the disease. But when a country is sick, what can Yan Zixi do as a weak woman?

Xiao Jingcong is a dignified peerless general, it is his responsibility to protect his family and defend the country, no matter how much Yan Zixi persuades, Xiao Jingcong will not waver in his determination in the slightest, otherwise he will not be Xiao Jingcong.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi gritted her teeth violently, and finally stopped persuading, "Okay, Jingcong, since you have made up your mind, then I won't say anything more, you can lead the troops to the battle, but I only ask you for one thing." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong looked sideways slightly, looked at Yan Zixi in front of him with affection, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Don't say it, I won't agree to take you on the expedition." The battlefield is not child's play, and your husband can't even guarantee your own safety, so how can you ensure your safety? ”
