Chapter 278: Mess
Although Shi Hu is brutal, he is definitely not an old fool. The www.biquge.info reason why he sent Shi Min away was because Hu Fu's analysis made him a little wavering about Shi Min's arrangement.
At this time, what Shi Hu wanted most was to think quietly by himself.
Xiaoxiang returned to Huilan Palace, she didn't dare to say anything about last night, she waited for Liu Guifei carefully, for fear of revealing a trace of horse's feet and arousing Liu Guifei's suspicions.
However, sometimes, the more deliberately you cover up, the easier it is to attract the attention of others.
"You're a little abnormal today, what's wrong? Bengong slapped you yesterday, and you still have a grudge against Bengong? Liu Guifei asked.
Xiao Xiang's hands almost trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "The slave doesn't dare, what the mother taught last night was, how can the slave and the maid hold a grudge?" ”
"Then why do you seem to have something on your mind today? There was not a word of it, it was very abnormal. ”
Xiao Xiang smiled and said: "The slave didn't sleep well last night, and her spirit is not good, please forgive me." ”
Liu Guifei flicked her sleeves, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Your loyalty to this palace, this palace knows, but you have been with this palace for so long, you should know what kind of temper this palace is, as long as you don't do anything sorry for this palace, you will naturally not suffer." ”
"The slave understands."
"If only you understood." Liu Guifei said, stood up, and said silently: "I don't know how His Highness is doing, there has been no news at all these days." ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the Huilan Palace: "Your Majesty has arrived at ......"
"Quick, Your Majesty is here!" Liu Guifei said and hurriedly walked out.
Hearing that Shi Hu was coming, Xiao Xiang's heart couldn't help but "chuckle", her legs began to tremble a little, and she immediately remembered the things that Shi Hu did to her last night.
"What are you still doing! Hurry up and help the palace to pick up the car! Liu Guifei urged with a cold face.
Xiao Xiang stepped forward hard, and Liu Guifei scolded: "Your Majesty will come in a while, be careful, otherwise this palace will want you to look good!" ”
Xiao Xiang nodded hurriedly: "Yes......"
Shi Hu swaggered into the Huilan Palace, and Concubine Liu hurriedly saluted and shouted: "Welcome Your Majesty......"
"Concubine, please get up!" Shi Hu pretended to step forward to help Liu Guifei, but in fact, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xiaoxiang.
Seeing Shi Hu looking at her, Xiao Xiang hurriedly avoided Shi Hu's gaze and lowered her head to help Liu Guifei up, but Liu Guifei didn't notice this subtle movement of the two.
Concubine Liu Guifei was held in Shi Hu's arms, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, is this a concubine?" ”
"Concubine Ai is pregnant, how can I not be worried?" Shi Hu said, and secretly glanced at Xiao Xiang's plump chest again.
"Why did Your Majesty come here at this time today?" Liu Guifei asked.
Shi Hu walked into the house, sighed, and said, "Don't mention it, the patrol battalion has an accident again!" As soon as spring comes this year, I don't have a moment of peace of mind! ”
"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, don't be angry! When you get to the concubine, rest in peace! Liu Guifei hurriedly sat behind Shi Hu and massaged Shi Hu's shoulders.
Xiao Xiang hurriedly got up and went to prepare ginseng tea cakes for Shi Hu, taking the opportunity to avoid Shi Hu's eyes.
Shi Hu scolded and scolded: "I'm an old bone, sooner or later I will be tossed and broken up by these bastards!" ”
"Your Majesty, what happened to the patrol battalion? Is it still yesterday? Liu Guifei asked in a low voice.
Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "The deputy commander of the patrol battalion was killed!" ”
Liu Guifei shouted with some horror: "Huh? How so! Who is so bold? ”
Shi Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet!" The lieutenants of the patrol battalion all said that Xiao Min's people did it! ”
"Wouldn't it? Can this kid condone his subordinates to do such a thing? ”
"There is a history of Ling in Dali Temple, according to his experience and analysis, this matter was not done by Xiao Min's people! But who it is exactly, it is not clear. ”
"This man is so bold! It is unbelievable that the Son of Heaven dares to do such a thing at his feet! Liu Guifei said and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you say that this person killed Guo Yue?" ”
"That's a good question!" Shi Hu glanced at Concubine Liu and said slowly, "I'm also thinking about this problem!" What was Guo Yue killed for? Vendetta? Or robbery? It's not like it! ”
"What's that?"
"Today, your eldest brother has a sentence that reminds me!"
"What?"
"Recently, a series of things in the patrol battalion, the root of which is that the patrol battalion soldiers do not agree with Xiao Min and his subordinates, because the commander of the patrol battalion appointed by me is a Han boy!"
Concubine Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine also thinks that what my brother said is reasonable!" ”
"In my heart, I wouldn't believe that Xiao Min would do such a thing, but it's a mess of things one after another!"
"Forgive the concubine for speaking bluntly...... What is Your Majesty going to do with Min Gongzi? ”
"Disposition?"
"Everyone said that he did it, Your Majesty ......"
Shi Hu waved his hand, tapped Liu Guifei's forehead, and said, "You, you still don't understand what I mean!" ”
Liu Guifei deliberately pretended not to understand, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is a weak woman, how can she have the wisdom of Your Majesty, and people say that she has been stupid for three years after being pregnant, and the concubine is now in the heart of two people!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, what Concubine Ai said!" Shi Hu pinched Liu Guifei's face and said, "I'm wondering now if it's a little inappropriate to let Xiao Min lead the patrol battalion. ”
Concubine Liu Guifei leaned on Shi Hu and asked, "Then Your Majesty thinks it is more appropriate to let someone be the commander of this patrol battalion?" ”
Shi Hu sighed and said, "I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for a while. ”
"Actually, the concubine thinks that Xiao Min, this kid, is still very capable, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Shi Hu asked.
Liu Guifei glanced at Shi Hu and said: "It's just like my brother said, we people don't look down on the Han people in our hearts, not to mention that Xiao Min became their commander at a young age, and those who have been in the patrol camp for decades will definitely not be convinced......
"You're right!" Shi Hu said helplessly: "But as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, there are more than 10,000 people in the patrol camp, I can't cut them all, right?" That's why I'm in a lot of trouble right now! ”
"Your Majesty, since things are already like this, don't be embarrassed! You still have to find a way to deal with it properly! Liu Guifei comforted.
"How to deal with it properly? I don't think of who would be the right person to take over. ”
"The concubine thinks that the candidate for the commander of the patrol battalion does not necessarily have to be a person who is unique in ten thousand, as long as this person is loyal to His Majesty, it will be good!"
"If it's a straw bale, what if it's a straw bale?"
"Of course, straw bales can't be used, otherwise how can more than 10,000 people be ordered?"
Shi Hu became interested and said, "Ai Fei continued. ”
"The occupation of the patrol battalion is not small, which directly affects the safety of Yecheng, so just now the concubine said that you must find a loyal one, lest you be like Liu Rong's wife, betray the lord for glory, and collaborate with the enemy to commit treason!"
"Liu Rong, that bastard, also swore that he would smear Zhao Guo's liver and brain, and then die, what was the result? Loyalty is what they say is good, but in fact, they all have ghosts in their hearts! ”
"The concubine thinks that there is a person, Your Majesty can consider it!"
"Who?"
"His Royal Highness King Ning!"
Shi Hu was very surprised: "He? ”
"...... right"
"Why did Concubine Ai think of him?"
"The concubine also suddenly thought that King Ning could use it!"
Liu Guifei's proposal was completely beyond Shi Hu's expectations, he didn't consider Shi Jian at all, and he didn't even think about his existence at all.
"Let him be the commander of the patrol battalion? Why is it right? Shi Hu was very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, do you think, His Royal Highness King Ning has not received His Majesty's favor for so many years, and you suddenly gave him an official position with real power, and he is still grateful to you? In this way, it is natural that you will be loyal to Your Majesty? ”
When Shi Hu heard this, this idea seemed very interesting, and he asked again: "Aifei, can you be sure of his loyalty in this way?" ”
"That's just one aspect! In fact, what Your Majesty wants is just a person who can obediently listen to you, talent is certainly one thing, but it is by no means the most important, loyalty is the first. And have you forgotten that His Royal Highness King Yan is a well-known filial son, and his mother Concubine Zheng is still in the palace, even if he has 10,000 or 20,000 patrol battalion soldiers, he doesn't dare to have any bad thoughts towards Your Majesty! ”
