Xu Han looked at An Xiangchu, stepped forward, and asked,

"What are you doing here?"

Regarding his mother's choice, Xu Han will never interfere.

It's not that she didn't want to talk to her mother, but no matter how she knocked on the side, her mother didn't leak, and there was really no way to do it.

An Xiangchu said, "The incense and candles of Jingtai Temple are supplied by Anjia, and today's practice will be used a lot, so come and have a look." ”

He spoke calmly and quietly, unlike ordinary people, without the majesty of a superior like Xu Jun, nor the coldness of Qi Hengjiu on the battlefield.

Rather, it has a calm and calm temperament.

When I met him in Xuanpingfang, although the deepest impression was that he was very good at martial arts and very provocative, he was low and high to his mother.

He is different from many people, especially when he meets today, Xu Han feels more and more that he is different from others.

Xu Han looked at him for a while and said,

"Then it won't disturb the conversation of the Anda family."

An Xiangchu arched his hand, turned sideways and let Xu Han go, and when she was far away, she hooked her lips, touched her chin, looked at Xu Han's back and thought for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization.

No wonder Ah Xiu refused to let him continue to stay in Xuanpingfang, so it was.

Xu Han walked for a while, suddenly stopped, turned back with a slight thought, looked at the place where An Xiangchu was standing just now, and said to Wei Ting,

"Go and find out, who he sees, and, tell Xu Mian, check this person's life."

The rules of the festival are not arbitrary, not to mention that today's emperor, Yu Guifei and others are here, how can it be possible to let people who do not belong to this occasion come in?

It's so counterintuitive.

Moreover, An Xiangchu said that the incense and candles of Jingtai Temple are supplied by Anjia, but generally speaking, it is the common people, whether they are incense or Jiao, they will bring their own incense candles, so that they will appear sincere.

Not to mention that on an occasion like today, the emperor's attitude is very clear, that is, he is bent on rehabilitating the Huo family.

In order to show their pity for the Huo family, those who participated would definitely bring enough incense and candles, even if they didn't need to bring them at all.

Why use the supply of the temple nunnery?

An Xiangchu clearly lied.

Xu Han stood there and pondered for a while before continuing to walk forward.

An Xiangchu stood in place and looked at Xu Han's back, and after coming to a conclusion, he walked out of the corridor, turned a corner, entered a bamboo forest, walked through the bamboo forest, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

The front of the small courtyard was full of guards, and he was about to take out the waist card, when Yong'an Hou walked out.

Seeing An Xiangchu, Yong'an Hou was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand at the guard who stopped him.

"Your Majesty is seeing Huo Qingyu, the prince of Zhenguo, please ...... Wait a minute. ”

Yong'an Hou took a nap in the title, and he really didn't know how to call this one, or rather, he didn't know how to call him in front of everyone.

He was vaguely confused.

An Xiangchu didn't care, thanked Yong'an Hou, and didn't say much, just stood there with his hands behind his back, leisurely admiring the surrounding scenery.

Yong'an Hou waited with An Xiangchu, and glanced at An Xiangchu on the side from time to time.

Although it is only a Gebu green clothes, it lingers with the nobility of the royal family, and it is also beautiful, about all the year round martial arts, the body is strong, the eye sockets are deep, the pupils are slightly purple, with a slight exotic handsomeness.

The gestures are a little different from the enthusiasm and frankness of the Central Plains men.

In short, what is normal in him, and it is a contradiction when it comes together.

In the meditation room in the small courtyard, after Huo Qi saluted the emperor, he stood up after the emperor spoke.

His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, he has the duty of a courtier, but also with a little alienation from being mistreated.

The people in the room all retreated, and the huge meditation room was left with only the two monarchs and ministers, and it became more and more empty.

The emperor motioned for Huo Qi to sit down, Huo Qi looked at the ground, was silent for a moment, did not sit down, but knelt down again in a upright posture, looking at the emperor calmly with his eyes,

"The third prince is the child of His Majesty, and the Huo family is full of families, so it can be said that he died at the hands of the third prince, as well as the lives of those 100,000 soldiers."

"These 100,000 soldiers, how many families are falling apart, and maybe even they are the pillars of the family."

"Once the roof collapses, that home will inevitably be destroyed."

"It can be said that Your Majesty and the Huo family also have a common enmity, standing in my position, I don't want to kneel to you, but it is very rare that you can get to the point where you are now."

"Huo family, one is one, two is two, yes, I am willing to bow down to you, but I can't accept the title given by His Majesty."

"The people of the Huo family are not desperately protecting the border of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty for the sake of fame and fortune, they are for the sake of the people of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty."

"Yes, please take back the title, as for Mi'er's position as the county lord, thank Your Majesty for considering her."

"She has no father or mother, only me, a relative, and it will not be easy to marry in the future, but with the position of the county lord, it will be very different."

"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Mi'er."

With that, he kowtowed down and touched his forehead to the ground.

The Emperor stretched out his hand to stop his movements, and said,

"You don't have to be like this, I overturned the case for the Huo family not for you, but for my conscience and the future of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.

What's more, you can trust me and are willing to let me overturn the case, and I thank you.

After all, it was my lack of teaching that caused the three princes to do so many rebellious things. “

"I am already happy that you can trust me instead of doing things that harm the people of the world with a resentful heart."

The emperor picked up the thermos and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Huo Qi,

"This cup is my gratitude for your trust, and I also thank the Huo family for the sacrifice made for Dongyuan, I respect you and the Huo family!"

He drank half of it, turned sideways, and poured the other half on the ground and drew a line.

"As for the title you said, if you want it, you can ask for it, and if you don't want it, you can put it on hold, but the will has been made clear to the world, and I will not take it back."

Huo Qi's throat rolled a little, picked up the tea cup on the table, and drank it all!

The emperor turned his head, the expression on his face was extremely moved, and then he turned back and said sincerely, "Thank you, Huo family, it is really extraordinary." ”

Huo Qi knelt in front of the emperor, his expression calm,

"Your Majesty, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and I dare not accept the title given by His Majesty."

"And what do you want?"

"I want to go to the frontier and kill a few more northern barbarians."

What Huo Qi said was sonorous and powerful, "My brother once said, Huo Jiaerlang, even if you die, you should die on the battlefield, I don't want to live in a mess in Beijing." ”

The emperor looked at Huo Qi and raised his voice,

"Okay, okay, the descendants of the Huo family, the sons and daughters of the Huo family, deserve to be the sons of the Huo family."

"I'm ready!"

He took out a military newspaper,

"After a few years of cultivation, Beiban has begun to move again, I will send Xu Jun to lead the troops, you as Xu Jun's deputy, go, go and kill everything you want to kill!"

"As for your niece, I will let Concubine Yu receive it to the palace from time to time, and I will also send the best imperial doctor to help her treat her leg."

"If the imperial doctor in the palace can't do it, just put up the emperor's list, and there will always be a doctor who will cure her."

Huo Qi kowtowed to the emperor again, then slowly got up and retreated.

……

Before the chanting began, Xu Han sat in the meditation room for a while, and Wei Ting returned.

"Lord Wang, I have already inquired, and it seems that I have indeed come to discuss the matter of incense and candles with the master who manages the affairs of the temple.

And it was His Majesty who personally allowed it. ”

"Your Majesty personally let you go?"

Not to mention Emperor Xu Han, he doesn't think anything, An Xiangchu is rich and rivals the country, and then he is the head of the household, and the level of the same identity is there.

To put it or not to let it go, the people below can always call the shots, how can it alarm the emperor?

"In which direction did he go?"

She asked.

Wei Ting said, "Go to the last hall." ”

The last hall is where the masters of Jingtai Temple deal with the chores and live, and it is also close to the back mountain, which is very quiet, and there are pieces of bamboo forests there.

Xu Han's brows became more and more frowned, and he was about to twist into a knot.

This An Xiangchu appeared too suddenly and unusually, including entering Xuanpingfang as a groom.

But she couldn't say what was wrong.

She circled the house twice and instructed Wei Ting,

"You send someone to keep an eye on him, remember, you must not show your tracks, and if you do, withdraw immediately."

Whether it is Huo Han or Xu Han, when there is something wrong with their intuition, they will immediately seek answers.

Maybe it's a coincidence that it's destined in the dark, or maybe it's one of the reasons why Huo Han woke up in Xu Han's body.

Since An Xiangchu's identity is unknown, let's figure it out until it is understood.

When Xu Han was thinking about how to figure out An Xiangchu's identity, in the small courtyard behind the bamboo forest, after the emperor met Huo Qi, he met An Xiangchu.

The two sat cross-legged in front of the small table, An Xiangchu was concentrating on making tea, and after bringing it to Chengcheng, he poured a lamp with both hands and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

After the emperor took it, he said,

"In the blink of an eye, you are so old, the last time I saw you, it was when you just sat in the position of big boss, a few years have passed. You're getting more and more composed. ”

He looked at An Xiangchu for a while and sighed, "These eyebrows and eyes are more and more like your mother." ”

After speaking, he put down the teacup and beckoned to Chuchu, "Come here, let me take a good look." ”

An Xiangchu slowly walked around the small table and moved to the emperor's right hand, allowing the emperor to look at it casually.

"Don't leave when you come back this time, if you do a good job in the position of the head of the household department, you will naturally have the opportunity to go up. Your house is still there, so you can live there. ”

An Xiangchu nodded, received the will, and finally looked up at the emperor, and said,

"Your Majesty doesn't look the same at all, he's still so young and heroic."

The emperor smiled, but he didn't say anything, the crown prince is already in his thirties, and he, as a father, can he still be young and heroic?

When An Xiang first saw this, he didn't say anything more, talked about his intentions today, and reported a few things to him.

The emperor listened attentively, one by one, and when the important things were finished, the two began to gossip again.

The emperor's eyes were blazing, and he picked up the tea that had just been poured on the table, and said,

"You should have returned to Beijing very early, where did you settle down during this time?"

"You're wearing a green jacket, is it possible that you still go to be a subordinate to others?"

There was no joy or anger in the emperor's voice.

An Xiangchu lowered his hand and was slightly silent for a moment, and his cross-legged posture changed to a kneeling position,

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the minister has been in Beijing for a few months, but he hasn't been in Beijing for a long time, and he thinks it's funny, so he quietly looks around in Beijing."

In the end, he still didn't hide the fact that he went to Xu Danxiu to be a groom,

"During this period, the minister met Mrs. Xu on the road, and saw that she was pure and kind-hearted, and it happened that the money on her body was also used up, so he ......"

"In any case, please punish Your Majesty."

The emperor turned the tea cup in his hand with a solemn expression, "Mrs. Xu, is it Xu Junna's wife?" ”

An Xiangchu paused, raised his head, and said, "Exactly, she gave the minister a few hundred taels of silver, and only signed a short contract." ”

The emperor knocked on the table, lowered his eyes and looked at the hair bun on the top of his head for a while, and then said,

"Come to think of it, this is not the first time you have sneaked into Beijing, how many times have you sneaked in in the past few years?"

An Xiangchu, "Twice." ”

"Which twice?" The Emperor continued.

Ann replied to Chu Yi one by one.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room was as quiet as a pool of water.

"You should know that you are not allowed to enter Beijing, and it is not too much to be more serious, even if you are treated the same as the third prince."

"The minister is willing to receive the punishment, but it's just ......," he rubbed, "Don't lock the minister with the three princes." ”

The emperor was so amused by him that he raised his hand and slapped him the back.

This palm was not light, and even An Xiangchu's sturdy body couldn't help but sink.

He pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

The emperor turned his face away, "Get up, you just arrived in the capital, and it is your first time in the officialdom, and there is no personal teaching of various rules and etiquette." ”

"I will send people to your mansion to teach you, and then, whether those people stay or not is up to you."

"You have to be mindful in the future, don't be like this time, I want to be good to you, but I don't want you to do anything out of the ordinary."

"If I get the handle by the Imperial Tower, I can't keep it if I want to."

An Xiangchu bowed again and saluted,

"The minister understands that in the future, he will definitely not embarrass His Majesty, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince."

The emperor nodded and said, "That slap just now hurt, didn't it?" You go, and stay in Beijing for a long time. ”

Ann saluted in silence and, as when he came, withdrew.

When An Xiangchu walked away, Cui Hai came in from outside the door and called softly, "Your Majesty, the tea is cold, the old slave will change it for you." ”

As if awakened, the emperor called Cui Hai, "You let Chen Li check ......"

Cui Hai stood quietly waiting for the emperor's order, and the emperor waved his hand half-loudly, "Forget it, you don't have to check." ”

The emperor's mind was so back and forth, Cui Hai was not surprised, and he didn't ask what to investigate.

Just bow down, go to fetch water, boil water, and make tea.

The Emperor sat there without moving for a long time, and finally sighed faintly.

Outside the forest, An Xiangchu was also stunned at the temple of Jingtai Temple, and then left Jingtai Temple slowly.

……

The festival was held for three days, and the heat of the Huo family's overturning of the case did not fade, and the teahouse told the story vigorously.

In the court, because of the affairs of the three princes, they were purged again.

In the winter of this year, the Northern Barbarians, who had cultivated for many years, began to invade again, and the northern frontier went to war.

This battle is an inevitable battle brewing all the way, the Northern Barbarian side has been planning for a long time, and the Eastern Yuan Dynasty is not unprepared.

Now that it has been launched, this battle will not only be aimed at defeating the Northern Barbarians.

For the harassment of the Northern Barbarians, the Eastern Yuan Dynasty was annoyed.

The Beiban are nomadic people, and in winter, they lack food and clothing, and they will harass the people on the border of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty from time to time.

Burn and loot, do anything, but they are small groups of harassment, which makes it difficult for the border army to catch, often the army rushes over, and people have already fled.

But the harm to the people has been done.

In the battle of Limen Pass many years ago, although the 100,000 soldiers of the Huo family were destroyed, the casualties of the Northern Barbarians were even worse, not only experiencing Huo Zheng's interception, but also experiencing the confrontation with Xu Jun.

Beiban is vitality is greatly injured, this has stopped for so many years, this winter, finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened its fangs, and marched towards Dongyuan.

Now stationed at Limen Pass, it is Xu Jun's subordinates, it may be that the Northern Barbarians were beaten too badly back then, and Xu Jun's subordinates did not take the Northern Barbarian Army in their eyes at first.

But after the two sides really fought, they found out that it was not that simple!

The army of the Northern Barbarians seems to have opened the eyes of the sky, and they know the strength of the Eastern Yuan side well, as well as the fighting style of the generals, and they can often find loopholes on the Eastern Yuan side.

After Xu Jun received the battle report in the capital, he was very angry, and he hated that he could pull that general over and spray wildly at the border.

No, the road is far away, so he can only spray at Xu Han.

"How many times did Lao Tzu say that they should not be arrogant soldiers, not arrogant soldiers, these people will not listen!"

"It's really a shame to take Lao Tzu's soldiers to die......"

He still wanted to scold, but when he met Xu Han's clear eyes, he suddenly stopped.

When the mood came up for a while, I forgot that it was my daughter standing in front of me, and I said everything.

He was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly at Xu Han.

Xu Han didn't care, she didn't hear too much in the Huo family army in the past, and what Father Xu said was already very slight.

She pursed her lips and asked Xu Jun,

"Father, what did the emperor say? Didn't you say that you should lead the troops? ”

When the emperor saw the seventh uncle, he said that he would let Xu Jun lead the troops to the battle.

Why has the will not come down?

Looking at the posture of the Northern Barbarians, they came prepared, not afraid of a long front, and had the meaning of not giving up until they took the Eastern Yuan.

The gravel gate pass is very important, once it is attacked, the northern defense line will be lost, and at that time, the northern barbarians will drive straight into the capital and come.

What is the Emperor doing?

Or did the emperor take his father's body into consideration?

After all, in order to deal with Xu Cheng, Xu Jun fell off his horse and was 'unconscious'.

But the title of the king of the north of Xujia Town is here again, because it has a very heavy weight in the north.

Since you have received the glory of power, you must bear the responsibility of equal weight.

At this juncture, no matter what his body is, he can't retreat, because if he doesn't go up, no one can replace him.

Even Xu Han, the new prince, can't do it.

The prestige of a hereditary prince is not comparable to that of any general, and it is also not something that anyone can compete.

Although Xu Han has taken over the affairs of the Xu family now, in the end, the effect of her expedition for her father at this time is average.

Therefore, the emperor is waiting for Xu Jun to take the initiative to ask for battle.

Xu Han can think of it, and Xu Jun can also think of it.

His face was a little tired, and he said, "Han'er, the house will be handed over to you in the future." ”
