Chapter 21: The Emperor's Thoughts

An hour later.

Xuanyuan was all arranged, and for remote places, he ordered that the assassins could be strangled even during the day.

After Xia Wanyi left some soldiers in the village for protection, she took the others back to the palace.

He didn't ask the villagers about the waterhole and cave on the south side of the cliff, since they also said that there was no road to the cliff, or they really didn't know which cave and cave, or maybe it was for some reason.

In fact, there is really no road, only to reach the waterhole, that day the cliff is high, and the clouds do not see the sun.

Then let it continue to know, anyway, if it can't do any damage to him, it will have to be.

Back in the palace, Xia Wanyi took Murong Jia straight to the imperial study to see Xia Yongmei.

Xia Wanyi roughly talked about the events of the past two days, and in the matter of assassins, he just said lightly that he had encountered a few assassins who didn't know what to do, and finally those assassins were taught a lesson by Xuanyuan Yu, who arrived in time.

Xia Yongmei was furious when she heard this, and wanted to arrest the assassin. Xia Wan reported that the assassin had been executed on the spot, but he did not find out who instigated it. Xia Yongmei calmed down her anger at this time, and also made a contribution to Xuanyuan Yu and other soldiers.

"Has the prince's injuries healed?" Xia Yongmei put her hands on Xia Wanyi's shoulders and asked.

Xia Wanyi's heart warmed: "Erchen is fine, but his physical condition has not yet recovered to the best." ”

After patting Xia Wanyi's shoulder, Xia Yongmei let go of her hands and put her back behind her back: "One day, if Gongsun Xiao'er falls into our hands, I will definitely have him to pay a greater price!" ”

The domineering tone made the presence feel an invisible coercion.

Xia Wanyi empathized: "This account, Erchen will settle this account with him sooner or later." ”

glanced at Murong Jia on the side and said, "The account of the Murong family has also been settled." ”

Murong Jia suddenly looked up at Xia Wanyi.

Xia Yongmei turned to Murong Jia and asked, "I heard that the crown princess was also injured?" ”

Retracting his gaze, Murong Jia replied, "Yes." Fortunately, Dr. Qian's medical skills are exquisite, and his daughter-in-law is no longer in trouble. ”

Zong Qinglin smiled with relief, walked up to Murong Jia and said, "That's good, if something happens to Jia'er, your father and I don't know how to explain to the heroic soul of the Murong family." ”

Murong Jia replied respectfully: "Thanks to the love of my father and mother. ”

"Hehe, your queen mother wants to hold her grandson." Xia Yongmei smiled.

Murong Jia, who has always been dignified in the palace, blushed shyly. looked at Xia Wanyi again, and found that Xia Wanyi was looking at her with a smile.

Zong Qinglin pretended to be angry and said: "The emperor will say that the concubine wants to hold his grandson, but in fact, he wants to think more than the concubine." ”

"So, prince, you have to follow my and your mother's wishes as soon as possible." Xia Yongmei looked at Xia Wanyi with a "you know" look.

Xia Wan smiled, and then an expression of "obey the emperor's orders".

When everyone heard this, they laughed "hehe".

After chatting together for a while, Xia Yongmei said: "The queen and the princess will go down to talk about family life, and I want to talk to the prince about something." ”

So Zong Qinglin led Murong Jia to retreat and left the imperial study.

Xia Yongmei got straight to the point: "I heard that the assassin you met this time is not an ordinary assassin. ”

These words made Xia Wanyi stunned for a moment.

Emperor Xia Yongmei, who created the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom for thirty-five years, must have something extraordinary, otherwise how could he, who is not the eldest son, sit on the first position of the Xia Kingdom in the struggle of this deep palace compound.

With a "poof", Xia Wanyi knelt down.

"The son has concealed the truth, please ask the father to take the blame."

In front of the emperor, to conceal the truth is to deceive the king.

Xia Yongmei gestured: "Get up, I won't blame you, I still know what you have in your stomach." ”

After taking two steps, Xia Yongmei said again: "The prince is familiar with group books, and he should know a truth: 'I will be at the top of the mountain, and I will see the mountains at a glance', I have ascended the throne of God since I was a teenager, and I have been in power for thirty-five years, I can see every brick and tile in this palace clearly, and I know even the surname of the ants on the ground." ”

Xia Wan smiled noncommittally.

"But why should I pretend to be idle?" Xia Yongmei continued, "The Northwest Qi Kingdom has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and it has been eyeing the world in the past two years since Gongsun Xiao'er ascended the throne, and Daxia, as the number one power in Qi State, has made him dream of eating this piece of meat." Now, the Xia Qi war is imminent, the main attack is external trouble, but the internal trouble has to be prevented! If you attack from both sides, the price to pay is too great. ”

"What my father said is very true." Xia Wanyi heard Xia Yongmei's words, and her heart felt a lot more relaxed.

"Let's see what we can do with this internal trouble, let's wait and see what happens, so as to respond to all changes." Xia Yongmei said.

"Yes. Erchen thought so too. Xia Wanyi said.

"So, if there is something in the future, you can tell your father, I am just a son like you, who do you believe if you don't believe it?"

"Father, don't worry, your son won't let you down."

Xia Yongmei nodded with satisfaction. Then he walked to the imperial couch in the imperial study and sat down.

"I just heard you mention that Jia'er painted a painting, and you can explain it to me in detail now."

Xia Wanyi walked in front of Xia Yongmei and took out the picture scroll painted by Murong Jia from his sleeve: "Jia'er's intention is to carve the stone on the Rigui Cliff into the appearance of the young man in the painting, so that the young man's filial piety will be passed on to all generations." ”

"Jia'er's painter has grown again." After taking the painting, Xia Yongmei looked at it, "Jia'er's idea is very good, I will announce the emperor list to the capital tomorrow, and order her to supervise it with you." ”

This is the first time that Xia Wanyi has crossed over and done something, so he is full of confidence on the surface, and he said excitedly in his heart: "Yes, Erchen and Jia'er will definitely be able to complete the task." ”

"Huh." Xia Yongmei smiled and said, "Tang Taizong said that the people are water, and this water can carry our ship, and it can also subvert our ship." So at this critical moment, the will of the people is very important. This will return to the cliff stone carved into a teenager, one can educate the people to show filial piety, the other can unite the people. ”

This day of returning to the cliff has a high status among the people, and doing this well is the icing on the cake for the capital that originally gathered because Murong Jia rescued Xia Wanyi from the Qi State Heavenly Prison. When the time comes, it will be easy to deal with internal and external troubles.

******

The next day, Xia Yongmei issued a decree and issued a notice to the capital.

To the surprise of Xia Wanyi and Murong Jia, less than two hours after the announcement of the imperial list, hundreds of people from all walks of life in the capital jointly wrote a letter praising this move, and recommended several of the best stonemasons in the capital to start carving stone statues on the cliffs.

In fact, Xia Wanyi and Murong Jia served many places in the Xia Kingdom in their early years, and their reputation was very high, but now let alone adding a statue to this Rigui Cliff, even if they want to raze the Rigui Cliff to the ground, no one will object.

In order to show their sincerity, Xia Wanyi and Murong Jia personally went out of the palace to visit these famous stonemasons on the recommended list, which flattered these stonemasons and said that they would die to fulfill their mission.

In this way, in less than a day, the preparations were made. In the early morning of the next day, several stonemasons went up to the Rigui Cliff under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, and after a day and a night of carving, they carved the stone into a stone statue on the edge of the dangerous cliff that was exactly the same as the young man in Murong Jia's paintings.

Murong Jia was invited to write down the words "Returning to the Cliff in the Sun", which was linked with "The heart of the child shines through the ages, and the sunset thinks of returning home". The stonemasons carved them on a stone tablet that was erected near the Higui-tei.

(Because there is no Internet at home, and the New Year is approaching, there are more things, and the son can only use the mobile phone code word, this speed is naturally not as fast as the speed of the computer keyboard, so it will be late, but it will never be broken, even if it is broken for a day, it will be made up the next day.) When time is not tight, I will add more, please forgive me, readers, after all, you are the king! )
