The reason why the emperor summoned Lai Xing'er in the Yanying Palace today was not only influenced by hearing Wu Bi's report that Li Jinzhong died at the hands of Lai Xing'er, but also because not long ago, Wu Bi's investigation into Lai Xing'er's entry into the palace as a eunuch before he was purified had a surprising result: it turned out that his father secretly issued a secret decree to preserve the bloodline for the Lai clan. In this way, the shame brought to him by the exposure of Laixing'er's identity as a fake eunuch was mostly reduced in the emperor's mind.

At the same time, after Lai Xing'er was convicted and left Daming Palace, the emperor obviously felt that although Wang Bao'er was flexible and quite understanding, he was far less innocent and natural than Lai Xing'er, and he was free and easy, and his words and deeds always revealed traces of deliberate actions, which made him a little relieved. The appointment of Wang Bao'er to the Privy Council was probably a helpless move made by the emperor when there was no one to choose from.

Therefore, he summoned Lai Xing'er today, and from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Lai Xing'er could purify himself as a eunuch and return to Daming Palace.

At this moment, although Xing'er admitted that he was guilty, his next words really made the emperor a little unhappy, and it was at this moment that the emperor completely dispelled the idea of coming to Xing'er to enter the palace as a eunuch: This kid dared to compare with himself and gamble on his anger, which is worth it!

"Good. Yesterday, Concubine Hui still talked about you in front of me, saying that it was a pity for you to read this material. I am also thinking about opening Enke this winter, and I will allow you to try it as a scholar, and in the future, you can also inherit your father's business and rebuild the Hanlin Sect. Therefore, I would like to give you the opportunity to see you today, and I would like to show you the kindness of thanking you for the hard work that accompanied me in the courtyard of the stables a few months ago. I just listened to you, since you have the ambition to join the army and kill the enemy for the country, I am naturally optimistic, let's talk about it, where do you want to go? ”

The emperor never mentioned the death of Li Jinzhong in his words, and deliberately avoided the truth that Lai Xing'er did not purify himself, and only used Jing Xuan's words as an excuse to sell an empty favor to Lai Xing'er.

Lai Xing'er heard the emperor ask himself if he knew the crime as soon as he met, and Wu Bi mentioned the old thing that he had not entered the palace in his words, mistakenly thinking that entering the palace today was more vicious than auspicious, who knew that the emperor's words changed, and he suddenly showed himself goodwill, and he couldn't help but be a little flattered and at a loss.

Wu Bi heard that Xing'er was willing to join the army and serve the battlefield, and he was very relieved, and he wanted to keep Xing'er as a young forbidden army captain under his command, and was about to open his mouth to answer for Lai Xing'er, but he didn't want to At this time, Shang Jing, who had been silent since he called Lai Xing'er and entered the palace, suddenly spoke.

When Shang Jing returned to Chang'an from Luo, Lai Xing'er had been sent to the "Wild Fox Fall" to guard the tomb, and because of the emperor's clear order, he was not allowed to make a noise about Lai Xing'er entering the palace as a eunuch without purifying his body, so he did not know very much why Lai Xing'er would be offended and what crime he committed. However, he always had doubts about why Na Yu, the sister of Na Simo, repeatedly helped Lai Xing'er when the mission was in Luo, and even suspected that Lai Xing'er had unknown entanglements and involvement with Na Yu and then with the remnants of the Zhang family before he left Chang'an and pretended to be the king of peace to send an envoy to Tubo.

He had only been reused by the emperor a few days earlier along with Wu Bi, who had succeeded Li Jinzhong, who had been inexplicably killed, as Jing Zhaoyin, and he was unsurprisingly promoted to the provincial supervisor of the Inner Chamberlain. Out of loyalty to the emperor and suspicion of Lai Xing'er, Shang Jing decided to test Lai Xing'er in his own way.

"Your Majesty." Shang Jing stood up from his seat and said respectfully to the emperor, "The ministers went to Luo with this Xing'er not long ago, and they have come down this way, and they know a lot about their courage and wisdom. Since His Majesty allowed him to serve the country on the battlefield, why not send him to Puzhou, where the war was most intense, and the ministers thought that only when he got there, Lai Xing'er's wisdom and wisdom could be fully displayed, and he would have a real place to use. ”

What Shang Jing really calculated in his heart was: Thinking that Na Na Yu was ordered by the sister of the king of Jiangling, the eldest princess of Changning, to disguise herself and go to Luo to see her fiancé for the eldest princess, so as to infer that her relationship with Li Shu, who is now the head of the rebel army, is also extraordinary, if the emperor can approve his own request, send Lai Xing'er to Liu Yi's army, and participate in the crusade against Li Shu, without revealing a trace, he can test whether there is another ulterior secret between him and Nayu.

The emperor was quite puzzled by Shang Jing's sudden interjection on the way: Shang Jing was pardoned by himself this time, and after he was reactivated, he behaved cautiously, and in front of himself, he changed his original style in the East Palace, and never said a word more, why did he take the initiative to suggest today, indicating that he would send Xing'er to Liu Yi's army in the future to confront Li Shu in Puzhou, is there a hidden reason that is inconvenient to say?

Lai Xing'er glanced at Shang Jing with grateful eyes, where would he have thought of Shang Jing's thoughts, and thought that Shang Jing's recommendation to the emperor to serve in Liu Yi's army was completely out of good intentions.

The emperor lowered his head and thought for a moment, then rushed to Xing'er and said: "A few days ago, when Fu Yi returned to Beijing to report his life, he asked me to be his junior envoy of the supervising army. Hezhong has been recovered, and Fu Yi is about to lead the army eastward in the near future, and Liu Yi and Zeng Qing of Yuzhou will form a flanking attack on Puzhou, and there will naturally be opportunities for you to make contributions at that time. ”

When Lai Xing'er heard that he was sent to serve in Fu Yi's army, he was so happy that he jumped up from the ground and blurted out: "Great, thank you to the emperor for taking care of everything." ”

Seeing that Lai Xing'er was so overjoyed, the emperor couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Wang Bao'er standing beside him, and sighed lightly in his heart: What he lacked was Lai Xing'er's undisguised temperament. It's a pity that Lai Xing'er will never be able to come back to him.

"I seem to remember that on the day you returned to Chang'an from Luo, you were given the title of Six-Rank Flying Dragon Envoy, and for the time being, you still went to serve in the Hezhong Army as the Captain of Liupinguoyi."

When the emperor said this, he paused, turned to Wu Bi and the monk Jing and ordered: "Regarding the rectification of the capital and the palace, we will discuss it here today, and you should retreat first." He also said to Wang Bao'er: "King Mu, please transfer Yu Cheng'en to move to Shaanzhou, and the commission of Zhifei Quan Zhixilu Shenhe Army's soldiers and horses has been approved, you go to Zhongshu Province to pass the message, and ask Wei Chang to immediately send someone to draft the edict and approve it, and send it to Jingzhou with 600 miles early tomorrow morning." By the way, tell Wei Chang that these days he wants to be a good messenger, don't be sluggish on the grounds of temporarily acting as a Chinese scholar, and do a good job of the messenger, this phase will be his sooner or later.
