Chapter 5 If you don't leave, you can't go!
Looking at Zhao Xu, who was a little lost and depressed, Zhao Xiaoxi knew very well that no matter how much he pretended to be mature, he was still a teenager under twenty. No matter how wise and wise he is, when he hears the gap between his ideal and reality said by Zhao Xiaoxi, he still feels uncomfortable.
It's just that some things are said, which means that the right to choose is in Zhao Xu's hands. If he still has some sense, Cho Hyo-seok believes that he will make a smart choice, after all, it is all about this.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who returned to the harem, directly found the chief eunuch who was waiting outside the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom. said very directly: "Father-in-law, please invite Princess Xu out, this king wants to take her back to King Xu's mansion." ”
Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's words, the chief manager hesitated a little and said, "Lord Jun, does the official know about this matter?" ”
Regarding the words of the manager, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a look in his eyes: "The Empress Dowager has approved this matter, and the official family agrees, is it really important?" Will the father-in-law go and invite it, or will the king himself go and invite it? ”
Such bold words startled the chief eunuch. Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's non-joking expression, the old eunuch quickly said: "Wait a minute, the prince of the county, the slave will go and ask Princess Xu to come out." ”
With the answer of the chief eunuch, Zhao Xiaoxi stood quietly behind the dormitory. It didn't take long for Princess Xu to appear in front of Zhao Xiaoxi. Seeing this slightly surprised mother, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that she should have been a little frightened during this time.
He knelt down happily and said, "My son came back late, and my mother was guilty." ”
Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Princess Xu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up and said, "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Isn't that okay with me? It's okay, I'm glad to see you come back safely. By the way, what about the girl? ”
To this question, Zhao Xiaoxi replied: "Mother." We'll talk about these things when we get home. Today, my son picked you up and left the palace, and during this time you were in the palace, your father and eldest brother were very worried! ”
Upon hearing this, Princess Xu's face was stunned and said, "Take me out of the palace?" Isn't that right? It was the official family who ordered Wei Niang to come to the palace to serve the Empress Dowager. This is the time to leave. It's going to make people gossip! ”
Since being invited into the palace by the Holy Decree, Princess Xu has also realized the real reason. At this time, he left again without a holy decree. It's easy to give authority to her daughter-in-law for being unfilial!
Looking at his mother's worried look, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Mother, it's okay, your grandmother personally agreed to your departure." At the official house, I told him just now. We'll go back today and visit grandma again when we have time. ”
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi almost didn't give her a chance to refute, he directly helped her to walk outside the palace. Along the way, those eunuchs and palace maids didn't dare to say anything. Until the forbidden army in charge of access control stepped forward and stopped the two.
said: "Lord County, Princess Xu needs the official decree to leave the palace, and please show it to the Lord of the County." ”
Facing the obstruction of the commander of the forbidden army, Zhao Xiaoxi calmly turned out the token of the Empress Dowager Gao and said, "There is this token." Can this king take his mother out of the palace? ”
The Commander of the Forbidden Army hesitated a little in the face of this token. And at this time. Zhao Xiaoxi sneered again: "What a conscientious commander of the forbidden army, do you think that the words of the empress dowager of this dynasty are useless now?"
Now this king is going to take his mother out of the palace, if you dare to stop it again, believe it or not, this king will kill you on the spot? Is it a royal affair that you people can participate in? I don't care about you. Don't let this king make a move! ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's face of anger, the commander of the forbidden army who had just been promoted, looked at the forbidden army under his command. They all looked away from their eyes and heads, as if they didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, the Empress Dowager hasn't passed away yet!
While the commander of the forbidden army hesitated. Zhao Xiaoxi pushed him away, helped Princess Xu, who was a little nervous, and left the palace in a grand manner. When it was reported to Zhao Xu, he got the same angry answer.
'Get out, let them all get out of here, the farther away the better!' ’
From these words, the commander of the forbidden army who came to report also knew that the emperor was facing Zhao Xiaoxi and leaving with Princess Xu. Although reluctant, he didn't seem to dare to stop it. This means that Zhao Xiaoxi, the prince of the county, has a lot of status in the court!
Wait until Zhao Xiaoxi took Princess Xu and appeared outside the palace, waiting for Zhao Da and others outside. Immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Zhao Da, I've seen Princess Xu Jin An!" ”
Looking at the general who accompanied her son, Princess Xu also said happily: "Zhao Da, you are also back together." Well, it's good to be back, I haven't seen you in a while. The prince must be happy to know that you are back. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Xiaoxi helped Princess Xu to the carriage that Zhao Da had found before. personally rode a horse in front and returned to King Xu's Mansion with the mother who had been in the palace for many days. This situation soon spread throughout the capital.
As soon as Zhao Xiaoxi returned to Beijing, he was picked up by Princess Xu, who was called into the palace as a hostage. This situation is somewhat surprising. What surprised the princes and nobles even more was that Zhao Xiaoxi brought his mother out without Zhao Xu's consent.
This strange situation made these princes and nobles feel that there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. But what surprised them even more was still to come, this county prince seemed to be challenging the emperor's bottom line!
When the convoy drove to the front of the palace, the two hawkers who looked very ordinary were suddenly ordered by Zhao Xiaoxi: "Zhao Da, take these two down." The king looked at them sneakily, like a businessman.
This is the palace of King Xu, the emperor's uncle, why do you two dare to be so bold and spy on the emperor's uncle. Who gave you the commands? Or are you planning to assassinate King Xu, the imperial uncle of this dynasty? Tell me the truth! ”
In the face of Zhao Xiaoxi's inquiry, the palace secret agents dressed as two hawkers said very weakly: "Lord Jun, you are really wronged, the little one is just a small businessman, and he is really not a spy!" ”
'Really? ’
Looking at the two of them nodding desperately, Zhao Xiaoxi said loudly: "It seems that you really think you are hiding it well." Zhao Da, escort them to Kaifeng Mansion, and let the prefect interrogate them well, where did they come from.
This king was fortunate to be fighting for his country abroad, and as soon as he returned home, he encountered such a thing. Is it really easy to mess with this king? You must know that the thieves who died in the hands of this king, this king himself can't count them.
If it weren't for the two of you, you are the people of this dynasty, believe it or not, this king will kill you on the spot. If you don't confess, there's no problem, then you can go and explain to the prefect! Zhao Da, tell the prefect that this king will personally go to Kaifeng Mansion to see him try the case. ”
Zhao Da knew that it would be almost impossible for Zhao Xiaoxi to stay in this imperial city when he came back this time. Not only Cho Hyo-seok, but even the people in this palace will all leave. As for what the future holds, no one can predict.
These two spies, no one knows that they are sent by the emperor. But the problem is that this kind of thing itself cannot be made public. Now that Zhao Xiaoxi is doing this, he undoubtedly pushes the difficulty onto Kaifeng Mansion Yin.
Judge it! offended the Son of Heaven who was the Ninety-Five. Don't try it! Offend the powerful county king who controls the cavalry. The most important thing is that the Empress Dowager is not dead now. That son of heaven doesn't dare to make things all over the city!
Sure enough, as Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the palace with Princess Xu, Zhao Da personally escorted the two secret agents. came to the outside of the Kaifeng Mansion, rang the bell of grievances, and threw the two people to the bitter Kaifeng Mansion Yin under the watchful eyes of the people.
This is really a fire at the city gate, and it has affected the fish in the pond!
Whether it is the emperor, or the imperial uncle and the prince of the county, it is not something that one of his foreign ministers can handle. And this prefect also knows very well that the county prince will not know the true identities of these two people.
Many people know that if this matter is really to be talked about, it is still a bit excessive to be the emperor. But it is reasonable, they can't stop this kind of thing. After all, this is a royal matter, and you can't touch it!
In the prefect of the imperial city, when he had a headache for these two hot potatoes, Zhao Xiaoxi finally reunited with his family. sent all the subordinates away, and Zhao Xiaoxi asked Zhao Da and others, who returned home, to closely monitor the study.
There are some things that Zhao Xiaoxi knows, sooner rather than later. While everyone's attention was shifted to him, he had to send his family out of the capital as soon as possible, so that he could really let go and break his wrist with this cousin.
When the whole family gathered here, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Father, my grandmother has already said that I agree with our family to leave the capital. It seems that I did underestimate the power of the Dark Guard in my grandmother's hands.
I talked to Xiaoliu once before, and there was almost no room for maneuver. For your safety, you're all going to leave tonight. I'll stay alone to see off my grandmother on your behalf, and she's afraid she won't last more than a few days. ”
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xu was immediately surprised: "What? Yun'er, why did we leave secretly? ”
Zhao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "Mother, now Xiaoliu sees me as a threat, and now that grandma is still alive, he doesn't dare to do it." But I can't guarantee that when my grandmother dies, he won't do it, so you have to go first.
Please rest assured that my father and mother will leave with all the arrangements. You wait and have a good rest, and leave with Zhao Da and them on time in the evening. My people will take you to safety. ”
Zhao Hao, who had learned about this situation in advance, quickly said: "Xiaoyun, if the official family knows that we are gone, he will definitely be furious." If you don't do it, my father will also be charged with disloyalty and unfilial piety! ”
Regarding Zhao Hao's worries, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, you can leave at night." Tomorrow in this palace, there will be a King Xu and a princess, and even the prince. Anyway, I'm ready for everything. ”
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi said this, Xu Hao didn't want to say much. Although he was reluctant to leave, he didn't want to see his mother for the last time. But he also knows that if he doesn't leave, he really can't go! (To be continued......)
