Chapter 20: The Emperor's Gift

"Your Majesty, as a courtier, the old minister has suffered all the ups and downs of his life, and this time His Majesty can reward the old minister again, and the old minister is already unthanked..."

The imperial ministers said to themselves, for a while, Emperor Xia An was a little anxious, so he raised his hand slightly, and Qin Yi stood up.

"But to my surprise, you didn't ask Qin Yuzhi to be sealed, that is your son, and he is also a good talent, if he is cultivated, it is not impossible to take charge of an army alone in the future, but you actually joined forces with Tian'er to entitle a pioneer captain... I don't understand? What are you not going to say? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Yu Zhizhi, the old minister knows in his heart that he can't be the general."

"Can't do it, or don't you dare to do it?"

In the case of Emperor Xia'an's continuous sharp change, Qin Yi was already worried, in front of him, although Emperor Xia An was like a withered old man, but his dragon power was always so unfathomable, for a while, Qin Yi didn't know how to answer, and finally Emperor Xia An opened the topic: "A white-bodied Duwei general, dare to rush into the golden family's main formation, it can be said that he has the courage, I followed your wish, gave him an exceptional promotion to a partial general, and received a delegation to the government office, and when the army is stayed, it will be released, it depends on the order of the Ministry of War and the Military Cabinet!" ”

"Your Majesty, and the old minister has a feeling, this young general will definitely have a bright future in the future, and he is a pillar of Great Xia..."

"I can't care more about what happens in the future!" When Emperor Xia An said this, he changed his voice again, and his eyebrows shone brightly: "Qin Yi, do you know that the rumors about Emperor Xiaowu have reached my ears... Among them is the young player you recommended! ”

In an instant, Qin Yi's face turned pale, like a corpse in a coffin, but Qin Yi asked himself if he was ashamed in his heart, and after a while, he said hard: "Your Majesty, Geng Liao... In the end, he is not a mediocre general, and his roof is too low to accommodate tall rafters. ”

"But he's an obedient family dog..."

A root sentence suppressed all Qin Yi's words, looking at the mixed looks of the veteran in front of him, Emperor Xia An shook his neck and said: "Of the five powerful generals under my command, three of them have been crowned princes, another has entered the northern frontier, and the other... Slaughtered... Qin Yi, for so many years, I have always felt guilty for not being crowned a prince, and even tempered you in the north, I thought you had understood the root cause of the year, but now it seems that you can't think about it after all..."

"If Your Majesty says this, the old minister can only... Offending... Please die... as a sign of faith..."

In an instant, the temperature in the upper study plummeted, even colder than the cold winter in the wilderness, Emperor Xia An opened his eyes slightly, staring at Qin Yi who was kneeling weakly again, in this quiet, except for the two slightly beating hearts, at the peak of the Great Xia Empire, there was no sound.

At this time, the eunuch's voice came, breaking the ice-like horror in the room, and Emperor Xia An shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Old thing... It's still so hard to get into the bones... Alas... That's it... I don't have a few days to live, and I don't want my former warrior to come to the point where he will die, and the rest of the days... You grind slowly... Besides... Your faithful... I saw it ten years ago."

"Thanks... Your Majesty..."At this point, Qin Yi's already haggard body barely held back a bit of strength, got up slightly, raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and found that the sweat had covered his withered cheeks.

Not long after, Prince Qing Nangong Qingyu, Prince Gong Helian Xi, and Prince Yong Huangfu Song entered the room under the leadership of Huang An. Seeing the three princes, Qin Yi hurriedly turned around and bowed.

"The last general will knock on the three princes!" When the three princes saw Qin Yi, their faces were different, and they all looked at Emperor Xia An, not daring to say a word.

"Qin Yi, there is no need to be like this, they are all decades of acquaintance, this vulgar ceremony is exempt, get up!" Emperor Xia An spoke, and asked Hou Chong Huang An to nod, Huang An understood the meaning, and took all the palace maids and eunuchs out before going out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Yi got up, and the three princes split aside.

"I summoned you today, one is to reminisce about the past, and the other is that I and you are all about to end, and if you don't say some things, I'm afraid there will be no chance..."

"Your Majesty is the dragon body of the Son of Heaven, and you will be able to live forever..."Prince Gong Helianxi hurriedly agreed, but he didn't think that this sycophant slapped on the horse's leg, causing a few words of dry scolding: "Helianxi, you were a slippery ghost at the beginning, and you can't change your temperament when you grow like this..."

Prince Gong was reprimanded a little hurriedly, but Emperor Xia An didn't say much. He looked at Prince Yong: "Huang Fusong, I heard that you and Ke'er have crossed paths recently?" ”

Hearing this, Prince Yong knelt directly on the ground: "Your Majesty... His Royal Highness King Yan invited the old minister to go winter hunting before the rest of the month... The old minister used his body failure as an excuse... Thank you to His Royal Highness King Yan... And that Dong Jing... Lao Chen is a confiscated piece this year... Old Minister..."

"Huangfu Song... Didn't I say you, you look like you still have a fierce general? Where is the hero who was single with a spear and blocked more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers? Compare it to the present... The glory and wealth have boiled you through, it really dirty my eyes! ”

Emperor Xia An scolded with a smile, Prince Yong pressed his heart and sat back, listening to the deep meaning of the words, Prince Qing hesitated to sit, Emperor Xia An swept his eyes and smiled: "Qing Yu, just say what you have, cover it up, it's annoying!" ”

"It's... Your Majesty! Prince Qing flicked his sleeves with his wrong hand: "Your Majesty, when the minister came, I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi has been kneeling in front of the Qing Palace since last night, which... This cold winter breathes, the body is biting, if it is a long time... It has a great impact on the body of His Royal Highness the King of Qi... Moreover, His Royal Highness King Qi has just returned from Northern Xinjiang... This... On the occasion of this enlistment..."

Halfway through speaking, Prince Qing suddenly stopped speaking, and when he raised his eyes, Emperor Xia'an's deep dragon eyes were staring at him, and the instantaneous deterrence made Prince Qing feel terrified: "Your Majesty... Lao Chen just thinks... It's a big mistake... Love is deeper than sin..."

"Qingyu..."The emperor's voice dragged his voice, making Prince Qing's heart tremble for a moment: "The old minister is here!" ”

"You... You've got a bit of the courage you had back then! Emperor Xia An turned yin into laughter for no reason: "How many courtiers know about this, all of them are like dumb people, and they are silent, only that group of officials are constantly bored, if it is not for the ancestral officials' advice that they cannot be killed, I must slaughter a few dry birds to relieve boredom!" ”

For these words, the hearts of the three princes changed completely, is it possible?

"That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I have worked hard for Daxia all my life, and it is time to let go and settle down for a few days!" Emperor Xia'an's words fell, and Huang Antuo, who was outside the door, entered.

Emperor Xia An looked at the few people in front of him: "Qingyu, Lian Xi, Huangfu Song, the three of you have been crowned princes and enjoyed for many years, but your old brother Qin Yi has thought about introspection in Northern Xinjiang, and now that he is back, the four of you are finally all together!" ”

When Qin Yi heard this, he didn't seem to believe it, but Huang An had already stepped forward: "Old handsome, Your Majesty has a will, don't you kneel down to accept it?" ”

"Old minister... Collar... Command! ”

"Qin Yi, Your Majesty remembers your hard work and achievements, and you are now given the title of Prince Lian, enjoying the East Imperial Road of the Central Capital and a mansion on Suzaku Street, and his son Qin Yu is the governor of the Nine Gates, a hereditary prince, Qin this!"
