In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first month of this year has arrived, and according to the old practice of previous years, General Xiao and several sons went to the palace to accompany the emperor for the festival.

The palace banquet was still grand and lively, and when the banquet was halfway through, there were attendants attached to the emperor's ears and whispered something to report, and the ministers found that the emperor who had just been kind changed his face in an instant, and after the attendants retreated, the emperor ordered people to stop singing and dancing, and sent out all the idle people.

"The bandits in this northwest border city are too rampant, I received a report on the first day of the Lunar New Year here, and today I received another one, the people are living in dire straits, and I am not at ease! Therefore, these bandits must be arrested, the law must be rectified, and the people must be given a calm and peaceful living environment. ”

"The emperor is wise." All the ministers stood up and said in unison.

"But who should I send?"

"I would like to lead the troops." General Xiao was the first to stand up and ask for advice.

The emperor nodded secretly, Xiao Hu was very courageous, and he would judge the situation and grasp the opportunity to stand up very well. He knew very well in his heart that he would not send him to suppress the bandits, but he set an example, so that those who were cowering saw that the emperor's will was supported, and he also saw the attitude that he should have as a courtier, he was really an old fox.

"The minister is also willing to go." General Yuan came out of the ranks.

"I am very pleased that the two Aiqing have such an attitude, but I have promised to let the two of them stay in Kyoto and live in retirement, so I will not mention this matter again.

Now that the four seas are peaceful, the country and the people are safe, this sudden bandit dares to endanger the people so rampantly, it is really infuriating, I really want to bring them to justice with my own hands, and get rid of this evil breath in my heart. ”

"The emperor must not!"

"Please think twice!"

…… ……

For the sake of a group of bandits, let the emperor drive the expedition in person, don't be funny, I can't afford to lose that person, so the ministers all stepped forward to oppose it.

After a round of generous speeches, King Jing stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted: "The younger brother is willing to go on the expedition in place of the imperial brother, and he will never return to Beijing until he destroys the bandits." ”

"King Jing, I can't help it!" South Korea objected.

"Your Majesty, King Jing is a noble prince and your younger brother, how can you risk your life!" Qing Guogong also came out to oppose it.

The emperor and King Jing glanced at each other vaguely, these two uncles actually objected, to say that they had no selfishness, but they felt sorry for their nephews, maybe others would believe it, but the Yun brothers resolutely did not believe it.

"This ......"

"The courtier's brother has made up his mind, please ask the royal brother to agree."

"Then it's hard work, brother, you also go back and prepare, and set off on February 26." King Jing's daughter, Yun Ruonan, is born on February 23, and the emperor is also a good brother and uncle with heart and affection.

King Jing smiled and thanked him knowingly.

I thought that things were going well, and everything was normal, but after the banquet, the emperor and King Jing were invited to Fengxiang Palace by the people sent by the Queen Mother.

"How can you make such a decision behind the back of the mourning family, there are bandits in the northwest and let your second uncle's cousin go to suppress it, why bother to let Xuan'er go in person, the road is far away, the mountains and rivers are long, how can the mourning family rest assured." Even if Empress Dowager Han has become the most noble woman in Tianyu, she is still a mother, her son is going to travel far away, how can she bear it as a mother-in-law.

I went here to investigate him, and let him suppress the bandits, wouldn't it become a thief shouting to catch the thief? The brothers thought at the same time.

"The sons can return in three or five months, so please don't worry about the queen mother." King Jing saw that Empress Dowager Han was full of reluctance and excitement, and his heart was also fluctuating, after all, he was a mother and son, and he was angry, and he was angry when he was angry.

"The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, why do you have to go, what's the use of raising them, it's better to let Xiao Hu go, leaving him in Kyoto will only abuse the grandson of the mourning family."

"Queen Mother, have you forgotten that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

"I ...... Other things can be ignored by the mourning family, Xuan'er's affairs, and the affairs of the two grandsons are also royal private affairs, can't I say a few words? ”

I think back then, when the eldest son first ascended the throne as the emperor, it was not the attitude it has now, she trusted herself as the queen mother, and also relied on the Han family, and now that he is standing in the court, he is more and more restricted to himself, and he does not trust the Han family as much as before. In many important positions, the manpower of himself and the Han family was replaced, and the layoffs were cut, and for this reason, the elder brother and younger brother looked for themselves more than once.

They kept telling that if there was no support from the Han family, where could the throne fall to Yun Aoyuan, the sixth prince who was not a grandson, and now he sat firmly on the dragon chair and didn't recognize his uncle, which was simply chilling.

What can you say, refute it? It was true that the power of the Han family was borrowed back then, although without their help, the eldest son could have ascended to the throne in the end, but if he received help, he had accepted it, and the fact could never be changed.

I am also very embarrassed to be caught between my son and my relatives, but who has considered my own difficulties, is it really old? Can you never go back to the time when you were in the wind and rain?

"The queen mother doesn't allow Brother Xuan to go, is it because I want the emperor to drive the expedition in person?"

"It's just a few thieves, where can the emperor and the prince take the lead!"

"The queen mother should know that the more peaceful and prosperous the world, the easier it is to attract the attention of the people when there is a banditry, and now the east and south of Tianyu are prosperous and rich; Most of the people in the west and north can also live and work in peace and contentment, only at the junction of the northwest there are people who come out to make waves, so the attitude of the sons and daughters is very important, it is related to whether the people's hearts can be stable, and it is related to the attitude of the country towards my Tianyu. ”

"Will it be dangerous? Let Qingguo Gong send someone to Han Yaowu stationed there to write a letter, and ask him to send someone to exterminate the bandits first, and Xuan'er will inspect it again? ”

"You don't have to worry about these things, Erchen heard that the granddaughter of the Qingguo family has entered the palace, so let her spend more time with the concubine's mother and son, and when Yibai reaches the age of fifteen, Erchen will issue an order to complete their marriage."

Empress Dowager Han looked at the emperor in astonishment, she didn't have this idea, the concubine's mother and son are their own people, there is no need to win them over, letting her niece marry Yun Yifan is her purpose, if this marriage is promoted, do you still need to be afraid of Queen Mu and the Mu family and the Han family? The queen's daughter-in-law, the prince's younger brother and sister, this is what she and the Han family want.

"The children are still young, and they always have to get along for a while to see who is the best match with whom, not only the young lady in the Qingguo Mansion has entered the palace, but the young lady in the Korean Mansion is also in the palace. If Xuan'er has to go to the northwest, let Ah Chen move into the palace to live, and it is not safe to leave him alone in the palace. ”

The corners of King Jing's lips raised a sneering smile, sure enough, the queen mother didn't kill his own son, but he really had the idea of his own grandson again, he would rather than marry a wife for the rest of his life, and never let the daughter of the Han family enter the gate of the palace again, otherwise how can he be worthy of his wife who has endured humiliation for many years, and how can he be worthy of his daughter who is still suffering from illness.

"Xiao Jiu and Ah Chen's ministers have other arrangements, since the queen mother likes the two of them, let them both stay with the concubine."

"No...... Let's let their sisters live in the side hall of Fengxiang Palace for the time being. "Son, is this treating the daughter of the Han family as garbage? Do you want to stuff it all into the concubine and digest it internally? Hmph, don't think about it, your favorite grandson must marry the granddaughter of the Han family, and no one wants to change this.

"Okay, it's up to you." Only if it wasn't forced into Xiao Jiu and Ah Chen, the emperor really didn't bother to inquire about their whereabouts.

"Xuan'er is not at ease when she is alone in mourning at home, so let Ying'er accompany you to the northwest, how can there be no one to take care of the dignified prince."

King Jing's eyes condensed, and the warm current that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant, this is the true purpose of his good mother, with Han Ying, her old man is not afraid that she will slaughter people halfway.

"Concubine Han wants to stay in the palace to preside over the overall situation, how can you leave, and besides, do you rest assured that the county lord of Baozhu and the county lord of Ruzhu will be left in the care of Princess Jing?" The emperor opened his mouth and said, that is the treasure of your Han family, in your eyes, the granddaughter of Ruonan, the princess of the palace, and the granddaughter of the county lord.

Thinking about what his son said is very reasonable, Empress Dowager Han is not insisting.

King Jing glared at the emperor angrily, did you persuade people like this? Can you not discredit my princess!

The emperor glared back without showing weakness, I don't say this, the queen mother has to let you take Concubine Han away, it's really kind and not rewarded.
