What happened in just five or six days, Jinling City, which had been stable for decades, was like a pot of boiling oil constantly pouring cold water into it, and it would burst out of frightening oil stars all the time.

Whether it is King Jia's various crimes in the fiefdom, the emperor sent Wu Desi to know Han Yu to recall people back to Jinling, or the collective outbreak of various crimes of some officials in the court, or the Pei family was pushed by the wall and finally completely collapsed, all of them are not as good as the newly canonized Prince Royal Highness is about to go to the Northern Xinjiang Labor Army, "by the way" to escort the King of Jin back to Beiyan to call for soldiers and horses.

No one thought that Da Wu would destroy the rebels with the same hatred as Beiyan.

And the people who accompanied him also made many people unable to understand. Because the people of Wudesi almost went to the northwest to recall King Jia, this time it was Xuanlong General Yan Xu who led Xuanlong to captain 300, in addition to 1,000 horse troops and 2,000 infantry troops.

And in addition to these relatively normal configurations, His Royal Highness the new crown prince actually said that the emperor was moved, with Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue as the prince's left and right guards, and the young people of Wuying Pavilion as the guards of the East Palace, a total of sixty or seventy people accompanied the guards, which I don't know how many eyeballs were shocked.

Yue Qianqiu just forgot it, but the Zhou Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect ...... Forget it if you were a woman before, but now you are still an official?

Fortunately, Zhou Jiyue's three sincere letters were also circulated in the officialdom and among the people, citing classics, beautiful words, and beautiful handwriting, which attracted a lot of praise. Of course, the most important thing is the support of His Royal Highness the new crown prince, the emperor personally nodded, and no one intends to sing against the current emperor and the future emperor on this cusp.

Moreover, the three prime ministers of the political hall may have disputes on some matters, but this time they are all on the emperor's side. Many people found that unconsciously, the officials standing in the court have changed, and many of them are rising talents in the past decade. There are not only scholars, but also children of families, and even students from poor families, and it is such a group of people who have carried the banner this time.

After all, for those who fell in this turmoil, it was certainly the three divisions who copied the house, but after the copy, it was these cutting-edge officials who were responsible for going to prison, trial, and convicting. It was only at this time that someone was talking in private about the secrets that Lou Yingchang had heard about in Dawu over the years.

Obviously, the emperor didn't want to make trouble at that time, because it was obviously a plan by the Northern Yan Qiu Hunting Division to fan the flames. But now that the limelight has passed, Lou Yingchang's head hangs high on the head of Jinling City, and the headless body is exposed, so those who were once gently let go after being exposed are now convicted one by one, or dismissed from office, or directly imprisoned!

But these intricate wrestlings in officialdom, Yue Qianqiu has no time to pay too much attention to them. Because he was about to face a very helpless fact - this trip had to be led by a civil official, as a result, the emperor picked and picked, and the ministers went back and forth, and the characters finally pushed out made him feel that he was back to the situation when he went to Beiyan last year.

There is no doubt that the first one is the eldest lord Yue who has just been promoted to Dali Siqing and concurrently serves as the crown prince Zhan Shi!

On the night before leaving, the Yuefu Heming Pavilion was brightly lit. On the main seat, the elder lady Yue, the eldest lord and Yan Xu sat on both sides, and Yue Qianqiu sat next to Yan Xu, giving up the difficult seat of the eldest lord to Zhou Jiyue, and it was actually all the most important people who went to Bazhou in Northern Xinjiang this time except for the new prince gathered together.

Old lady Yue lightly tapped the handrail with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, the boss and Qianqiu, one is my son and the other is my grandson. This is neither true nor true, it is not for me to give you a face-to-face lecture today, but for someone else. ”

Speaking of this, this old man, who was extremely authoritative in the court and the court in his family, stood up, and then said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Wouldn't it be better for the emperor to summon them to the palace to speak?" In this way, I borrowed my territory to bring people together, and I am afraid that there will be another imperial history who will arrest me and impeach a book, saying that I have exceeded my authority. ”

"What impeachment are you afraid of? After decades of officialdom, the impeachment of you is enough to fill a few rooms. There is a saying that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, you have no skin to fall off, what are you afraid of? If it weren't for the fact that there was too much movement in the palace, it would be inconvenient for Jianzhen to come forward, but it would be comfortable on your side, and I wouldn't let you come forward. ”

With these words, I saw the emperor walking out unhurriedly behind the screen. Except for Zhou Jiyue, who was quite surprised, the others were only slightly surprised at most, but they all stood up together. And Yue Qianqiu looked at the smiling grandfather extremely calmly, thinking that in addition to the little fat man, almost all of the people who went out this time were related to the Yue family, and it was no wonder that the emperor chose to come here directly to speak.

He didn't think about what was wrong with him counting Zhou Jiyue as a person related to the Yue family, his eyes couldn't help but look behind the emperor, and when he found it empty, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the little fat man he thought of when he first met the emperor. The next moment, he only heard the emperor speak: "Qianqiu, Shiro didn't come with me, you don't have to look for it." ”

"Uh......" Yue Qianqiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose and hurriedly saluted with the others.

And the emperor stretched out his hands and pressed them, motioning for everyone to sit down, but he stood in the middle of it: "Today, I borrowed the crane Ming Xuan of the Yue family to see everyone, just because some words are not suitable for saying in the palace, and I don't want those words to be heard, especially Shiro." The assassination of Emperor Beiyan came suddenly, Xiao Jingxian's secret decree also came suddenly, and these things in Jinling have been even more sudden recently. ”

"You are not some dull civilian and military generals in the DPRK, you must have your own judgment. That's right, whether it is Beiyan or my Dawu, it seems that someone is pushing behind the back, so I have to do a lot of things, and some of the steps are too fast! For example, I didn't plan to investigate the Pei family so early, I didn't plan to recall King Jia so early, and I didn't plan to clean up the officialdom so early, but since the tumor broke out, I couldn't endure it like I did in previous years, so I could only cut it off. ”

When he said this, the emperor's tone was cold, which was completely different from his usual mildness and generosity.

"In the past, when Lou Yingchang lurked in Dawu for many years and exposed many court officials' secrets, I didn't have a seizure, because at that time, a national war was likely to break out between the two countries, and I couldn't risk internal troubles under external troubles. But now it's different, since Beiyan is too busy to take care of himself, if I don't free up my hands to clean up my internal worries, I will miss a good opportunity. ”

The emperor personally admitted that a series of things inside and outside the country seemed to have a driving force in recent days, and the old lady Yue was a little surprised, but Yan Xu was not surprised. He even noticed that on this occasion when he should have been sitting upright, Yue Qianqiu was actually making eye contact with Zhou Jiyue, although he knew that it was not flirting, but exchanging opinions and opinions with each other, he still couldn't help but sigh that the child of this year was bolder than him.

At that time, he dared to be cruel to his mother, and as for the emperor's uncle...... Well, he's always been respectful of people.

Therefore, now that he deeply understands how troublesome and difficult the emperor's profession is, he is the first to ask respectfully: "Since the emperor has considered this trip, please give instructions, and the ministers will naturally keep it in mind." ”

The emperor glanced at Yan Xu with some surprise, and saw that he had not been a general for long, but sitting there was really a bit of a strong general from the barracks, and he couldn't help but say for a while: "Ah Xu, you talk to me like this, I'm not used to it." To be honest, what should I do after this trip to Bazhou, I have discussed many plans with Yue Lao Aiqing and others, but ......"

His tone suddenly changed: "But the plan is likely to not catch up with the change, because the people behind the scenes who instructed the assassination of the Emperor of Northern Yan, the people who launched a rebellion in Northern Yan, the people who did this series of things in my Great Wu for several days, plus Xiao Jingxian, none of them are really fuel-efficient lamps." Most importantly, we don't know exactly what they're going to do and what they're going to do. ”

Lord Yue wanted to say that it was better to act cautiously if he was not sure, but this was the result of the discussion between the emperor and the prime ministers, as well as some imperial relatives and high-ranking officials that he did not know. Sure enough, the next moment, he was glad that he was cautious.

"Lou Yingchang once sarcastically mocked Ah Xu before, saying that he used Shiro as a bait, that time was an accident, but it also made me see the power of Qianqiu and Jiyue, two children back then, and now young talents join forces. So, this time, I did throw Shiro out as bait. ”

The words were utterly cold, but the expression on the emperor's face was complicated.

"I only have this one son, who was undecided at the time, so he was spoiled, although he has been taught by word and deed over the years, and has often explained and mentioned points, he has finally matured and grown, but it is still not enough. How difficult it is to sit in this world, I hope he will take a walk and see it for himself, and experience it in the bloody rain and bloody wind. The son of a daughter, he can't sit down, this is true, but once he feels that the power and honor of being the son of heaven are taken for granted, then he is useless! ”

After saying so much in one breath, he didn't give anyone a chance to interject or even interrupt, and it was only then that the emperor paused, and then raised his hands solemnly, and actually bowed slightly to the first four people on the left and right.

Seeing that they hurriedly got up and saluted, he said in a deep voice: "I will give you the highest authority to deal with the situation on the spot, and if necessary, take over all the way to Yizhou, and even the entire northern frontier!" ”

This time, not only the eldest master, but even Yue Qianqiu gasped. However, what he didn't expect was that Old Lady Yue suddenly spoke: "Boss, you take Ah Xu and Ji Yue to avoid it first, and the emperor has something to tell Qianqiu alone." ”

Zhou Jiyue glanced at Yue Qianqiu with some concern, and saw that he lost a relieved look, she thought that this was in Yuefu, and it should be fine, so she finally got up and followed Master Yue out. Instead, Yan Xu frowned slightly, and dragged Yue Qianqiu to the side and ordered a few more words: "Don't die for a while, if you have anything to say, promise to come down first, and I'll help you find a way to go back." ”

"Master, don't worry." Yue Qianqiu smiled and directly pushed Yan Xu out of the door, and when he personally saw people out of Hemingxuan, he took a deep breath, but he was a little irritable, and even Riyue Shadow was nowhere to be seen, is it as always in the dark to prevent people from approaching, or is it long gone in Jinling? With this in mind, he closed the door and finally returned to his place.

"What do the emperor and grandfather want to tell me?"

For Yue Qianqiu putting himself and the old lady Yue side by side, the emperor was not angry. In fact, if you really talk about it, Yue Qianqiu has rebelled too many times, especially the fact that he has given the nickname to the little fat man and blatantly called it out, which is enough for any emperor to cut off his head dozens of times.

Staring at this young man who was famous for never meeting back then, but later found it very interesting when they met, he was slightly distracted for a moment, and then said carefully: "Qianqiu, although your mother refused to be canonized, I hope that you can treat me as your grandfather." ”

Such an opening statement was really a bit abrupt, so Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but widen her eyes. But after a moment, he laughed and nodded briskly, "Okay! As long as you don't ask me to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's uncle, I can let the emperor take advantage of this. ”

Old lady Yue suddenly became angry: "How did you talk to the emperor?" What does it mean that the emperor takes advantage of you? ”

"Because whether it's the emperor or grandpa, they can't eat my life experience, right?" Yue Qianqiu didn't take advantage of this at all, shrugged the key, and then said with a smile, "Anyway, I said a long time ago, I only think I am the grandson of the Yue family, and now the emperor says that he wants to recognize me as a grandson, except for the dwarf generation for no reason, it is very depressing, and there is nothing bad about the rest." ”

"Yes, I don't know where you are, and I can't even be sure about Shiro." The emperor narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "If it was eight years ago, there were still two concubines in the harem who were waiting to give birth, then I might have been half-hearted, but now the situation no longer allows it." Shiro grew up in front of my eyes, even if I was really deceived for more than ten years, I would admit it! ”

Just like when he said this in front of Xiao Qingqing, at this moment, the emperor's tone was like a cold north wind in a cold winter, without any temperature.

"As a king, sometimes even my own son has to be ruthless, so I have to let him out this time to sharpen. I have given him the people I trust the most to be by my side, and I will give him the most resources he can muster besides you. As long as he can come back safely and do not commit a major offense, then the world is his. But if he is unlucky, even if I hate King Jia's family again, I will have to make the worst choice. ”

Although he had roughly calculated the emperor's choice just now, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but gasp, thinking in his heart that he was fortunate that he was not the prince...... But the next moment, his happiness was completely gone, because the old lady Yue also spoke.

"Qianqiu, I have always treated you as your own grandson, you must not be tricked to go to Beiyan to marry a princess and become a prince. At the beginning, Xiao Si cut first and then played, although I had no choice but to accept the fait accompli, I just smoked him, but in exchange for you, it was not so cheap. I have already taken a son who hasn't gotten out for Beiyan yet, and I definitely don't want to take another grandson in! ”

"Remember, you are my grandson, the emperor's grandson, and there is no third identity!"
