As a Qin cha, the first thing he did when he returned to the capital should be to meet the Son of Heaven to return the will, not to mention that Xu Xun also took the sword of the Son of Heaven that Zhu Houzhao specially asked Gu Da to use when he was leaving. However, Xu Xun entered Beijing at night, and it was impossible to meet the key under the palace gate, and the next day was not the fifteenth day of the new year, and now the Chang Dynasty was completely exempt, so he didn't have to go to the court early in the morning, plus a few days of rushing and the fierce exercise last night, he couldn't help but have a sore back and numb legs in the early morning and didn't want to move. It wasn't until he felt something soft on his face that he barely opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he was in front of a pair of small round eyes. It wasn't until he looked at it for a while that he finally understood what the situation was at this moment, and immediately turned over and sat up, only to find that Shen Yue had already picked up his daughter quickly.

"Lady, don't take you to toss people like this, let me see my daughter!"

"I asked Ning'er to wake you up this lazy daddy, otherwise she would have been scared away by your messy beard!" Shen Yue held her daughter in her arms, without the slightest intention of letting her get close to her father, seeing Xu Xun's face full of chagrin, she smiled and said, "Another thing to remind you, Latham has been waiting outside the door, saying that it was summoned by the emperor, you had better move faster and faster, otherwise I don't know if the emperor couldn't see you last night, and I summoned you today, if you rub it back, the emperor will be angry!" ”

"Latham and Watkins are here in person?"

Seeing that although there was a joke in his wife's eyes, he nodded slightly, Xu Xun immediately knew that this was not a joke, so he quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and hurriedly began to get dressed. He quickly packed up a set of clothes for himself, and he was standing in front of the bronze mirror and was about to comb his hair casually, but there was an extra hand on his shoulder. Seeing that it was his wife in the mirror, he simply sat down, let the dexterous hands comb his hair, and finally put on the official hat and hairpin.

"Finally, I would like to remind you, my father let you go reasonably last night, as soon as you enter the palace like this, you have to come back early, otherwise when your father turns around and gets angry, I won't intercede for you!"

"Good, good!"

Xu Xun raised his hands helplessly, then stood up suddenly, took advantage of Shen Yue's surprise, and kissed her on the cheek, and then smiled and walked to the side of Ruyi, who was holding the child at this time, and saw the little guy blinking at himself, he only felt that his heart was warm and soft, and he couldn't help but lean down and kiss the child again. Seeing that his daughter was stunned for a moment, he suddenly twitched his nose, and cried again, so he quickly fled.

"Dead guy, you're bullying Ning'er again!" Shen Yue looked at Xu Xun's back and scolded with a smile, took the child and coaxed it for a while, she suddenly remembered something, but she snorted lightly, "I won't remind you, let you go to the palace to find food when you are hungry!" ”

Latham and Watkins, who were waiting outside, naturally did not sit there alone, the neatly dressed Xu Liang sat on the side, an old man and a young man were talking energetically, and when Xu Xun suddenly arrived, he saw Latham was gesturing at Xu Liang with a smile.

“…… Really, at that time, I was worried that the emperor was stubborn, and he didn't even care about the key to the palace and insisted on leaving the palace, but fortunately, the emperor was still sympathetic to Pingbeibo after all, thinking that if the queen mother of the two palaces blamed him, even Pingbeibo couldn't bear it, so he had to lie down sullenly. Therefore, I didn't dare to delay after I had to order early this morning, and galloped all the way from Xiyuan. When Ruisheng said this, he immediately saw Xu Xun with sharp eyes, and quickly stood up and saluted. However, before he could bend down, Xu Xun had already held him firmly.

"It's a shame for you, if it's really for me to reopen the palace gate last night, this battle will be big!" ..., Ruisheng looked at Xu Xun, and saw that he had lost a lot of weight compared to before, and suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, but he smiled on his face and said a few words of humility first, and then invited Xu Xun to enter the palace immediately. And Xu Liang saw Xu Xun looking at him, as if he was about to say something, he immediately waved his hand and said: "If you have anything to say, go back to the palace, you go to the palace, don't let the emperor wait for a long time!" ”

Being in the capital, coupled with the summons of the Son of Heaven, Xu Xun didn't plan to call the guards who followed him all the way back. However, when he and Ruisheng went out of the middle gate together, and saw the many soldiers and horses outside that almost blocked the entire spacious Wu'anhou Hutong, this surprise was not trivial. At this time, Ruisheng on the side explained softly: "The emperor has learned about your assassination in Guangou yesterday, so he ordered to bring this 100 army guards as an entourage. ”

In the capital, you have to bring a hundred entourage? Is this for the whole capital, for himself, or for Liu Jin? Xu Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, but everyone had already gathered in front of the door, and all of them were the old people who had walked out from under his hands in the past, so he could only smile and nod his head. When he turned out from Wu'anhou Hutong and went up to Xuanwumen Street, he looked around with the reins in one hand, especially when he saw the mottled blood-stained flagpole when he passed by the West Fourth Archway, and the sense of reality that he had never had at night last night suddenly returned to his body.

This is the capital, another battlefield!

After entering the Xi'an Gate, the two hundred army avant-garde went back to the inner school field to continue the drill, leaving only Ruisheng and a few small firefighters to take Xu Xun to continue to the Taisu Hall in the north of the Taiye Pond. This privilege of riding horses in Xiyuan was something Xu Xun had when he was training the military vanguard in Xiyuan in the early years, but then his days in Xiyuan gradually decreased, and he rode a horse to gallop in the Imperial Garden, and he went out for a few months this time, at this moment, when he saw a lot of obviously newly built buildings, he had to take a few more looks.

"Uncle Pingbei, the leopard house built by the emperor on the side of the school field in the West Garden is almost completed." Ruisheng said a word, seeing Xu Xun's stunned face, he mistakenly thought that Xu Xun felt that the construction period was fast, and hurriedly added, "The emperor said that it is inconvenient to live in the palace city, and the Qianqing Palace is still kept to worship the emperor, this leopard room is easy to enter and exit, and it is more convenient to see the courtiers, so I plan to move out after completion." In the past few months, the weather has been good, and the construction has naturally been faster, and it will be completed in July and August. ”

Xiyuan built a separate palace to live, which Zhu Houzhao had mentioned a long time ago, Xu Xun just persuaded Zhu Houzhao to move slowly and not be too anxious, but now listening to the word leopard room, he can't help but have a sense of returning to history. This feeling has been accompanied by him when he entered the Taisu Hall and saw Zhu Houzhao, and was smashed by the words at the moment, which was suddenly diluted.

"Xu Xun, you're finally back! I wanted to see you last night, but unfortunately I stopped this guy from Ruisheng. Today's weather is good, I asked them to prepare a boat, let's go to the liquid pool to talk, don't worry about others disturbing! ”

Regardless of whether it is a tiger room or a leopard room, isn't he called a traitor by many people through gritted teeth, why do you care so much!

Boating in the Taiye Pond is almost an unheard of grace for courtiers. However, Xu Xun looked at Zhu Houzhao opposite, but it was difficult to give birth to that sense of sincerity and fear. And Zhu Houzhao was far away from the shore of the boat, and he looked at Xu Xun enough, and then suddenly coughed lightly: "Xu Xun, I heard that you were assassinated again yesterday?" ”

The little emperor's first sentence was not too unexpected, so Xu Xun glanced at Ruisheng and the two little firefighters beside him, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, it's not impossible to say that it was assassinated, but the minister even felt that it was a joke. The minister brought dozens of guards, and Jing Yangbo's brigade was just a stone's throw away, but an assassin with sparse martial arts shouted and jumped out to assassinate, and shouted what Liu Gonggong, this is really ridiculous! The minister thought that some ill-intentioned people must have planned this farce in private, so he had already ordered a ban on the matter. ”…,

"Well, I didn't mistake you, you won't be confused in such a big thing!"

Zhu Houzhao listened to Gu Da report on Xu Xun's attack early this morning, and asked Ruisheng to directly bring two hundred people to summon Xu Xun into the palace.

Therefore, he immediately asked Xu Xun to tell him what he had seen and heard along the way, and while listening to it, he broke the sand pot and asked to the end, and finally when Xu Xun took out the soil taken on Helan Mountain, he stood up and took the small cloth bag handed over by Xu Xun, pinched a little and twisted it in his hand, and his face bloomed with a rare light.

"The soil on Helan Mountain...... This is the soil on Helan Mountain! I only know that the territory under my rule is very vast, but even if I leave the palace once, I have to be talked about for a long time, and even the capital can't go out easily, let alone a place so far away from Helan Mountain! Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xun, his eyes flashing with excitement and excitement, "Xu Xun, you did a good job!" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment, Helan Mountain in the west of Zhenyuan Pass is the westernmost place where the minister went this time, so he took these soils to give to the emperor, but west of Helan Mountain, as well as Ganzhou Hami and other places, as well as the land of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a chance on the other day, the minister will definitely obtain the soil at the end of the southeast, northwest and northwest parts of the Ming Dynasty to give to the emperor."

Speaking of this, Xu Xun suddenly only heard a grunt, and was suddenly surprised. Who would make such an anachronistic voice in the here and now? However, when this sound sounded for the second time, it dawned on him. Yesterday, I hurriedly returned home in the middle of the night, and Long Jinghu suddenly lingered with his daughter-in-law for a long time, and he fell asleep without even caring about eating supper. When I got up early in the morning, Ruisheng came to summon the Son of Heaven, and I didn't even eat breakfast. At this time, others were still excited and didn't notice it, and their stomachs protested first!

And after Zhu Houzhao understood what was going on with this voice, he looked at Xu Xun's embarrassed expression, and felt very funny for a while. He looked at Xu Xun with a smile for a while, and then looked at Ruisheng and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's see if there are any snacks on the boat, hurry up and bring them up!" ”

Seeing that Ruisheng comprehended and led people down, Xu Xun suddenly said in embarrassment: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion." ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand very arrogantly and said, "Why is this little thing a little thing to worry about? Since you can forget to sleep and eat, you are naturally a great loyal minister, so what does it matter to you if you share the food? ”

However, when Latham personally came up with a carved lacquered mahogany bird and a phoenix, he also brought another message: "Your Majesty, a small boat has just sent a message, saying that Gonggong Liu, the master of ceremonies, has arrived on the west bank of the Taiye Pond and wants to see the emperor." (To be continued.)
