Xu Kangdi did not deny that for him, Xu Hua was not only a cabinet veteran, but also his mentor. He was able to get to this position today because of Xu Hua's help, so he has a deep affection for Xu Hua. Of course, there is another layer of relationship, Xu Kangdi's queen is Xu Hua's daughter.

It is obviously not easy to bring down such an important minister. Tang Feng turned the jade bracelet on his wrist and smiled a little carelessly, King Xining ...... It's up to you this time.

Two days later, Xu Hua really entered the palace to ask for peace.

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Xu Hua is sixty-two this year, and although he is not the oldest person in the cabinet, he is also the number one veteran of the Three Dynasties. His face is thin, his cheekbones are high and protruding, and he looks a little cold and arrogant.

"Xu Xiang, please get up." Xu Kangdi personally bypassed the desk, raised his hand to help the old man up, and said with a smile, "You have been gone for more than half a year, and I have already been very worried about it." ”

"His Majesty Lao remembers, and the minister is grateful." Xu Hua nodded and bowed.

The two of them sat down to make a noise, and Emperor Xu was very interested in what he saw and heard on the way home, and he was eager to know what kind of life the people outside were living under his rule.

"The people are naturally grateful to His Majesty. Along the way, the people have sufficient food and clothing, are diligent in farming, and their lives are not bad. Especially the minister's hometown, it is very different from when the minister came out of the year, in the past, there were only one or two talents in the town, but now there are forty or fifty. Xu Hua sighed, "Only when the people are rich can they have time to study, and these years of cultivation and recuperation have cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for Your Majesty." ”

Xu Kangdi was naturally happy when he heard such words, how could he not make him proud when he ruled the country and the people? He talked with Xu Hua in detail and asked about the manpower, material resources and consumption level in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"The minister came back this time and passed by King Qing's fiefdom, and the minister didn't disturb him, but just passed by lightly." Xu Hua said.

"Oh? What did Xu Xiang find? Xu Kangdi knew that he would not mention King Qing for no reason, and asked curiously.

Xu Hua paused for a moment and said: "After King Qing returned to the domain, he encouraged the people to reclaim the famine, build water conservancy, and encourage the population to have children in his fiefdom, and he was very enthusiastic. ”

Xu Kangdi's smile narrowed a little, and he naturally understood Xu Hua's words.

"King Qing is very energetic, and the minister is also happy that His Majesty has a capable minister. It's just that...... King Qing stationed troops in several places in the fiefdom, and the ministers asked the servants to visit secretly, there were about five or six places, and there were nearly 10,000 people in each place. Xu Hua raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Kangdi's face, and sure enough, he had sunk, Xu Hua continued, "Qingwangtun has so many soldiers, and the minister doesn't know what he means." I didn't dare to ask him in person, so I could only come back and report to Your Majesty. If King Qing doesn't understand the rules, His Majesty can send someone to remind him, but if he has other purposes, please take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Xu Hua's conduct Xu Kangdi is trustworthy, since he said it, it is not out of nowhere, and there is no need for him to frame King Qing.

"It's hard work, I'll send someone to remind him." Xu Kangdi sank his eyes, and the narrow tails of his eyes evoked a bit of fierce killing intent. He originally sympathized with King Qing and promised him to leave Beijing, but now it has only been half a year, and he has made such a big move in the fiefdom, how can Emperor Xu Kangdi bear it?

Xu Hua reported everything to Emperor Xu Kangdi and returned to the mansion with ease.

Chengqian Palace.

Everything that happened in the Heart Cultivation Hall couldn't hide from the imperial concubine sitting in the inner palace, and after she heard the report, she waved her hand to signal that he could leave.

"The horse's feet can't be hidden, it's really a waste." Tang Feng said mockingly.

Sitting opposite her was Yi Guiren, of course, she also listened to what she had just said, and said: "King Qing is destined to be unsuccessful, but is it really as Xu Hua said, it was his servants who discovered King Qing's garrison?" ”

Tang Feng picked up the teacup, gently scraped the tea leaves, and said, "Have you ever seen a servant of any family with such a skill?" King Qing is naturally a very secret place to do this kind of thing, how could it be discovered by a domestic servant? ”

"Guess the concubine, King Qing is about stealing chickens and rice this time." Yi Guiren chuckled. He was probably wooing Xu Xiang, but he didn't expect Xu Xiang to agree in front of him, and he turned around and sold it to him.

Tang Feng put down the teacup, gently pressed the corner of his lips with a handkerchief, and asked: "Your Majesty only has a big prince under his knees, doesn't Xu Hua have his own ideas about the choice of the prince?" ”

"Niangniang means ......"

"The world is as black as a crow." Tang Feng sneered, "Let people check him, this palace won't believe that he didn't have this muddy water." ”

Half a month later, a military report from the border broke the tranquility of the capital.

"Report! Xining has broken through the important town of Hechuan on our side, and now it is approaching Xuanfu! ”

Once swore that Xining was just borrowing, and did not dare to completely slap the ministers of Great Xia in the face. Xining sent 100,000 troops, and approached Xuanfu along the line, but the river was broken in two days, which can be described as menacing.

The lights of the Heart Cultivation Hall were lit all night, and Miyagi did not have a key all night, and the ministers came and went, and the entire Miyagi was shrouded in a dull big cover, and if you didn't pay attention to the sparks outside, they would jump on this cover.

Yiguiren and Shen Cairen, as Xining women, were of course grounded for the first time, and Xu Kangdi did not directly show them to the public, which seemed to be thinking of the past love.

Tang Feng leaned on the door frame of Chengqian Palace, looking up at the cyan night sky, although there was no moonlight tonight, but this sky full of stars seemed to be more affectionate than a lonely moon hanging there.

The next day, Emperor Xu Kangdi issued an order to order the Western Frontier Army stationed on the border line to counterattack with all its strength and take back the river at all costs.

With the war, the days are not so dull.

I thought that there would be no suspense between the Great Xia army and the Xining army, but I didn't expect that a month later, the news of the disastrous defeat of the Western Frontier Army came from the front line, and Xining actually broke through Xuanfu and came to Yanqing.

When you arrive in Yanqing, you will not be far from Juyong Pass, and the capital is in danger.

——

The bravery of the Xining army was almost beyond prediction, and such a tragic battle had never happened. Xu Kangdi knew that this time he misjudged the situation and thought it was a cat, but he didn't think it was a biting tiger.

"Your Majesty, Xining is not as good as Beidi ruling the country with force, but they have such combat power this time, and the minister suspects that maybe we will lose not only on the battlefield." Zhou Suizhi played to Emperor Xu Kang and said, "The military newspaper said that the Xining army can always take the lead before our army acts, and the movement of our army seems to be controlled by them all the time. The minister suspects that some spies may have been mixed in. ”

Speaking of spies, it is naturally the two Xining women in the palace who bear the brunt.
