"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? The old man and the man called out to him very carefully, and the man who was sitting upright in his chair was staring at a cup of tea. At times like these, he knows what to do. What is very surprising is that he obviously doesn't seem to pay attention to that son at all on the outside, but he is extremely interested in everything that happens to the Seventh Prince, and the tenderness that is wrapped in layers of cold is rare even on the favorite fifteenth prince, and the father-in-law, who is already old and dizzy, secretly sighs, is this really the rumored case, a jealous father and emperor who is extremely suspicious of a son who holds military power? Why, why did the king, whose piercing eyes seemed to penetrate the lungs of the human heart, reveal such kindness like licking a calf?

"Your Majesty, that General Xiao has already gone back," the father-in-law tried to choose words that would not cause the emperor to be angry, and carefully told this person with a heavy heart to kill, no matter how small the matter, as long as it was about the Seventh Prince, if it was not reported in time, it would make the most powerful person in the Great Zhou Kingdom angry. Just last time, the herald of Jizhou Station was exiled by his family after he failed to submit a copy of the whereabouts of the Seven Princes in time. In the eyes of the emperor, this is probably more important than any major national event.

"Oh," the Emperor's faint tone was as unpredictable as his calm face, joy, sorrow, sorrow, and anger, which even he, the Grand Steward, who had followed the Emperor longer than anyone else, could not easily tell.

He also said that this note was originally presented by the Seventh Prince・・・・・・ "A tightly sealed letter was quietly placed in a vermilion lacquer plate on the side, and on top of it, there was a piece of yellow silk that my father-in-law had somehow covered casually."

"What? Get it! The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and it became so rapid that even the guards next to him were startled and knelt on the ground in unison.

"Yes, the old slave is..." Before the trembling father-in-law touched the plate, the person next to him had already taken the first step impatiently, and swept the yellow silk to the ground casually, and even didn't even bother to look at the small silver knife used to open the seal presented by the guard next to him, and smashed the very strong small barrel down.

"Your Majesty..." the father-in-law trembled and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the emperor glared back, "You haven't seen this thing, have you?" ”

The father-in-law was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, how dare a slave... Moreover, isn't there a seal sealed with fire paint on it・・・・・・" Even if he didn't know why the shrewd emperor was so out of shape, he knew that now as long as he didn't answer well, he would immediately splatter blood for five steps, and besides, the emperor who didn't believe in his justification at all would definitely cut off his head himself.

"Hmph," the emperor coldly swept over the kneeling guards, "Which of you dares to say a word about today's matter, hmph, then all of you, including your family, will have to go to the Netherworld Mansion as companions, understand?" ”

Even if the tip of the knife was on his eyelids, the guard foreman would not blink a round bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he stiffened his waist and replied in a low voice: "Yes, my subordinates guarantee the lives of the whole family, and I will never leak a word about what I said today." ”

"That's the best," the emperor swept the guards' expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, and the father-in-law, who held the thin roll of paper above his head, immediately felt that his wrist hurt as if he was caught by iron pliers, and looked up at the emperor's expressionless face: "You are the same." ”

The father-in-law smiled bitterly in his heart, he was brought in by the father-in-law who went to the countryside to select handsome and clever children when he first remembered, and his family was already ruined at that time, otherwise even an ordinary ordinary family would have sent the child he had raised with hard work into the palace.

The emperor didn't see the bitterness flashing on the face of the father-in-law next to him, hurriedly unfolded the note in his hand, and put it on the table as if he felt something was wrong, and his eyes swept a few lines sharply, and he was suddenly stunned.

"How so? How so?! At that moment, the emperor's eyes changed completely, and the sharp gaze that seemed to not even be too much for the eagle in the sky suddenly dissipated, like an expression that was disheartened and had no time to care about other things. How could this be, listening to him keep muttering this sentence, my father-in-law's eyes showed a touch of unbearability.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body, anything can be discussed in the long run・・・・・・" As if he suddenly woke up from a dream, the emperor's expression suddenly relaxed, as if things were in such a hurry that things had taken a turn for the better, the emperor couldn't wait for his edict any longer, and strode towards a horse not far away.

"Prepare a horse for me, no, I will personally chase him back, that is my son, the only child left by Yi'er, I will never let him go to the battlefield again, I will take him back soon, I will give him a great general king, no, I will not pass the throne to him immediately, guards, guards! Get ready to prepare, go out with me immediately and go to the camp in Jizhou! The emperor was like a patient who had lost his heart and was mad, saying some inexplicable words in his mouth, and the foreman of the guard was also standing aside, hesitating and stretching out a hand, as if he was afraid, and as if he couldn't bear to hold the most powerful person in the world, no matter whether he would leave an immortal name in the history of the Great Zhou, now, what he was gently holding was just a father who was afraid of losing his son.

"Your Majesty!" The father-in-law was the first to wake up, holding the man's leg tightly, and letting his knife-like gaze fall on him: "Your Majesty, you have to listen to the old slave!" The Seventh Prince left here two days ago, and the little man who had just left told the old slave in person that he wanted the old slave to tell His Majesty after he left, that the battle of Gaul was unavoidable, but it was not to rely on swords to win, and now the king of Hui was assassinated, life and death are unknown, and the relationship between the prince of Hui and a few younger brothers has always been bad, but they dare not act rashly with each other, so there will be no danger as long as the march is secret. What's more, Gaul has been the throat of the Western Regions for a hundred years, and if the rebels seize the opportunity to negotiate terms with the princes of Hui and cut off the grain route, it will be dangerous for 70,000 people trapped there・・・・・・"

The emperor's expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh, and the gaze of the person who was lying on the ground slowly moved away, as if he was not asking anyone at all, and looked at the west from afar: "Did he still say... ”

My father-in-law, who had been trembling since just now, almost collapsed to the ground at once, cheered up and hurriedly replied: "He said that he only needs that Lord Liang from the household department to deliver two more months' grain to the camp, and to escort it secretly at night, so that his chances of victory can be increased by a few points・・・・・・・"

"A few more points? I'm afraid I didn't have a chance of winning at all! The emperor's face was very ugly, and after thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly: "What else did he say?" ”

The father-in-law didn't dare to hide it, but he wasn't sure if saying it like this would make the monarch unhappy: "But..."

The emperor frowned dissatisfiedly, "But what, if you have anything to say, you are just a messenger, I won't blame you." ”

The father-in-law swallowed his saliva in a low voice, "Lord Xiao also said that he wanted you to stage a play in the court... He also said that this is the order of the Seventh Prince, as long as you say so, you will understand." ”

"Show?" The emperor's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, "It's really a knowing father, Mo Ruozi, passing on the decree, seven days later, in the Chonghua Palace, the 'celebration banquet' will be held in Beijing and all the officials above the fourth grade will be given to me!" ”
