In the palace, in the imperial study, the emperor was holding a secret letter in his hand, his face was solemn, and it seemed that it was time to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach." Chen He handed over a cup of tea with both hands, and the master kept this posture for a while, this is something difficult to decide! Otherwise, it would never be this expression, this look.

Chen He was able to serve the emperor in the imperial study by virtue of his self-knowledge and the ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he told himself that as long as he did his part, other things were not what he should care about and pay attention to.

"Chen He, who do you say I should send to the northwest!" This person must be familiar with the terrain of the northwest, and he must be a reliable person, which is not easy to choose!

"The slave is stupid, he can only help the emperor share his worries in such small things as serving tea and water, as for this kind of militaristic affairs, he doesn't know anything, so don't be embarrassed for the old slave."

The emperor didn't really want to ask for him, he just flipped through the secret letter in his hand, this is the news that King Jing took a lot of trouble to send, he said in the secret letter that the Han family has been moving frequently recently, and he has sent people to visit King Jing's residence at night many times, trying to steal the evidence that he has in his possession.

Now the cousin of the Han family has formed a situation of encirclement of King Jing, and wants to trap him, probably because he wants to wait for the things to be stolen back before letting them go, and it is more likely that he wants to trap them to death, so as to prevent future troubles.

King Jing asked the emperor what he should do now, whether to make a move, or to continue to deal with the Han family.

The emperor doesn't want his younger brother to take risks anymore, he plans to send someone to the northwest to rescue King Jing, is this just a candidate? He hesitated a little.

"Ah Chen has entered the palace today." The emperor asked suddenly.

"I'm in the palace."

"Where is he now?"

"It should be with the Nine Emperor Princes, they first went to Fengxiang Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then ......" Chen He raised his head and glanced at the emperor quickly, then lowered his head and said: "Then accompany the two young ladies of the Han family to visit the imperial garden." ”

"Hmph, the Han family ......" The emperor's least favorite thing now is probably the Han family and the Han family, if he didn't want to stabilize the Han family in Kyoto, how could he let his son and nephew accompany him to act, in order to achieve the goal of confusing the Han family!

"Xuan Achen came to the imperial study."

"Yes."

A moment later, Yun Yifan and Yun Yichen appeared in the imperial study at the same time, Yun Yifan's face was unhappy, and Yun Yichen also had a cold face.

"What are you ......?" the emperor asked, resisting the urge to laugh.

"Father, can you not let me and Ah Chen go to Fengxiang Palace in the future, at least my son doesn't want to go again before the Han family leaves." Instead of wasting time on that kind of person, it is better to make yourself happy by sneaking cats and teasing dogs. Miss Han's high-minded posture that she thinks is the best in the world and unmatched is really disgusting, and Yun Yifan thinks that the monkeys are cuter than the two of them.

"You really don't want to accompany the Han family's cousin?"

"I don't want to."

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Yichen said that he was doing his father a favor by dealing with them, he would have left a long time ago, thinking of those two pretentious Han family ladies, Yun Yichen now wants to vomit when he sees water.

"Chen and you go outside to guard, and no one is allowed to come in."

"The minions obey."

After only the three of them were left in the imperial study, the emperor spoke: "Ah Chen, your father is in some trouble now, and the imperial uncle plans to send troops to support, who do you two think is the most suitable to go." ”

The two cousins looked at each other, how could they ask their opinions about this kind of thing, could it be that the father (imperial uncle) was testing himself? When it comes to candidates, they all think of General Xiao, but the two of them chose to remain silent, because the final choice in this matter is in the hands of the emperor.

"Since you don't have a suitable candidate to recommend, then Uncle Huang can just appoint someone to go over." The emperor said in a disapprehensive tone, stinky boy, look at how I will fix you today.

"Uncle Huang, it is a matter of my father's safety, you must not be hasty, my nephew thinks that General Xiao is the most suitable candidate." Yun Yichen, who was taken aback by the emperor, didn't dare to pretend to be deep anymore, so he had to tell all the words in his heart.

"My son also thinks General Xiao is suitable."

"Tell me what you think, why General Xiao is the most suitable!"

"He has led troops for many years, has rich experience, and has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, so he is familiar with the terrain; His ideas are flexible and changeable, and he can always come up with ways that others can't think of, and sending him to help Uncle Wang will definitely have a surprising effect. Yun Yifan concluded.

"Ah Chen, don't you have anything to say?"

Yun Yichen pondered for a moment and said: "In addition to the above reasons, my nephew thinks that the emperor's uncle sent General Xiao to be said to be famous, because the fourth master of the Xiao family is in the northwest, if Mrs. Xiao is sick, and the emperor's uncle is sympathetic to the old minister, so he sent General Xiao to find his son and welcome my father back to Beijing by the way."

In this way, the matter of you sending people to the northwest will not cause too much discussion and speculation, as long as the Xiao family acts well, even if someone suspects something, they will not dare to raise objections blatantly, of course, people with ghosts in their hearts are a different matter. ”

"You are too cunning, no wonder General Xiao doesn't like you, if it were me, I would torture you every day, even Mrs. Xiao calculated, you ...... It seems that the little girl of the Xiao family will quarrel with you, there is a certain reason. Yun Yifan pointed at his cousin with his finger and said, everyone else has a lot of eyes, and the real cunning should be this guy.

"Ah Chen will also quarrel with others, Uncle Huang is very curious about this person!" The emperor asked in surprise.

Yun Yichen glared at his cousin, shut up and resolutely refused to mention the quarrel with Xiao Yao.

"Since the person was recommended by you, then it's up to you to find Xiao Hu to go to the northwest."

Yun Yichen opened his eyes wide, and looked at the emperor incredulously, obviously you can solve the matter with an order, why do you want me to go on a trip, this matter of asking for people, Yun Da Shizi said that he was very ...... Very...... The earth is unwilling to do this.

The emperor was secretly happy in his heart, today Uncle Huang, I just want you to invite Xiao Hu in person, who made you put on a stinky face every day, and refused to say even soft words or nice words.

I, the emperor, sometimes have to be able to bend and stretch, your unbending character will suffer in the future, now the opportunity is right, Xiao Hu is your whetstone, Ah Chen, the emperor's uncle wishes you success.

Yun Yifan completely inherited the emperor's sleek and intelligent, he guessed the emperor's intentions after a little thought, how could he miss such a bustle, so Yun Yifan pleaded: "Father, the son originally intended to accompany Ah Chen to General Xiao's mansion for this trip." ”

Yun Yichen knew that Uncle Huang was deliberately embarrassed for himself, he didn't feel it, he was troubled, and he realized it together, go and beg Old Man Xiao, he was not willing; If you don't go, what should you do about your father's affairs!

Although even if he didn't ask the old man, the imperial uncle would eventually order him to go to the northwest, but if he couldn't complete such a test, what should he do when he faced greater challenges in the future!

When the Xiao family got the news that the Nine Emperor Princes and Yun Shizi were coming, everyone's reactions were different.

General Xiao: It's probably not a good thing.

Qin's: The nobles are here, and the puff is shining!

…… ……

Xiao Yao: Where should I hide?

Xiao Yuan: The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he must not have any good intentions.

After waiting for most of the day, before the distinguished guests arrived, Mrs. Tong arrived first with her little grandson.

"This is ...... in your house" Is the fourth master of the Xiao family coming back? Didn't hear any news! There is a banquet, but it doesn't look like it.

"It's the Nine Emperors and Yun Shizi who are coming, you maids, work seriously, in-laws, please come inside."

"Then it's a bit unfortunate that I'm here, Jiabao, let's come back to you Sister Yao another day, okay." Mrs. Tong coaxed her grandson.

Xiao Yao really wants to go with her grandmother now, otherwise she has to kneel down to greet the prince, she has been here for six years, and she still doesn't want to accept some things, such as kneeling, such as three wives and four concubines......

"The Nine Emperors have arrived, and Yun Shizi has arrived." Steward Feng came over to report.

Now no one has to run, get ready to welcome guests!

Yun Yifan is wearing a vermilion regular clothes, Yun Yichen is wearing a royal blue brocade robe, the two are three or four points similar, but Yun Yifan is gentler, Yun Yichen is more cold, if you talk about appearance alone, Yun Yichen is better.

"Chen Xiaohu has seen the Nine Emperor Princes, Yun Shizi." When General Xiao was in Guozijian, he was the master and never had to give a big salute to the two of them, and today these two were notified by the inner servants first, and then officially visited, so this courtesy of the monarch and the minister could not be avoided.

"General Xiao get up quickly, Mrs. Xiao please get up, it turns out that Mrs. Tong is also asking for a quick up, everyone get up." Yun Yifan helped General Xiao up when he just saluted, and his cousin still had to ask for someone else, so he definitely couldn't overdo it.

"Yun Yifan, Yun Yichen has seen Old Man Xiao." The two of them bowed to General Xiao, the gift of master and apprentice cannot be abolished, not to mention that General Xiao is still teaching them now, even one day, they will no longer practice martial arts in front of General Xiao, and the rules of meeting and saluting will not change.

"Well, I'm exempt." You have come here with great people, and you have not come to salute me.

"Please go to the living room for a short rest and have a cup of tea." Tong Mingyu had a decent smile on his face, dignified and generous.

"Don't bother Mrs. Xiao, we are here to talk to General Xiao about some things today, I don't know if we can go to General Xiao's study and sit down." Yun Yichen tried his best to make an amiable appearance, but that cold face looked like he was about to cry with a hard-to-pull smile.

Xiao Yao knelt at the back of the crowd, Yun Yifan's "Let's get up" just fell, she stood up quickly, she first helped her grandmother, and then pulled up her grandmother's arm, from beginning to end, she didn't look up, didn't speak, and quietly made the background wall.

"Then please." General Xiao leaned sideways and asked the two small and high-status princes and grandsons to go first.

At the fork in the front yard, General Xiao walked to the study with the two of them, and Qin and Mrs. Tong walked side by side and took the ladies to the backyard.

The Qin family was very disappointed with his granddaughter's performance today, this child usually looked clever, but it turned out that he saw that the noble man was so timid that he hid backwards, and he couldn't use it, and he couldn't use it!
