Chapter 40: Searching for a Son

The queen tried her best to dissuade the emperor. "If King Qiong returns to the capital, King Qiong has a lesson from the past, and he will definitely be more dike to the emperor, if the contradiction between the monarch and the minister intensifies again, it is difficult to ensure that King Qiong will not rebel, it is better to step up the training of court officers and soldiers, attack the northern frontier, and arrest King Qiong, so as to prevent future troubles."

He Wangxin on the side said, Queen, you are easy to say, but you don't know the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, you are pampered in the capital, and you will not necessarily be the opponent of the soldiers under King Qiong after ten years of training, and the soldiers under Nie Tiancheng who are guarding the capital can still resist it.

Even General Nie didn't dare to resist the order. Wrestling troops to attack the northern frontier, who will defend the capital?

The emperor is also difficult to decide. I had to let the ministers express their opinions in the DPRK and China.

The ministers of civil and military affairs supported the acquittal of King Qiong and returned to the capital, praising the emperor for his deep understanding of righteousness and valuing love and righteousness.

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that King Qiong is guilty of nothing more than that the emperor is afraid that he will ascend to the throne, and King Qiong will not accept it, so he will first convict King Qiong of rebellion. If King Qiong really wanted to rebel, he would have to wait until today, and the emperor would have done it at that time.

And how could the emperor be willing to pardon King Qiong and recall him to the capital, it would be equivalent to a trap planted by his side, and it was either King Qiong or himself who fell into it.

However, if King Qiong's sins are not forgiven, it is possible that the two countries will be established in the future, and his own country and society will always be in jeopardy.

Since the ministers have agreed to recruit King Qiong to return to the capital. It's better to push the boat with the water.

The emperor finally announced that the princess of Qiong would be acquitted of her guilt and immediately return to the capital to thank her.

King Qiong received the emperor's token in northern Xinjiang, and there were not too many surprises in his heart.

King Qiong understood the emperor's intentions better than anyone else, and he was afraid that he would affect his ascension to the throne, so he imposed charges, framed himself, and torn his family apart. Now that the emperor is on the throne, he is worried that he and his two countries will be in a state of power, which will be unfavorable to him, and he will forgive my sins and buy me.

"King Qiong, you can't get used to them," Qiu Xun said unconvinced, "He wants us to go back, he will go back, we don't want to go back, and the emperor has the ability to send people to attack us." ”

"Xun'er, if we don't go back, the emperor will tell the ministers that we just want to be the emperor ourselves, and we will lose the support of our people."

"Then are we at his mercy to us?" Qiu Xun said reluctantly, "Who dares to guarantee that the emperor will not go back on his word and frame us again." ”

"The soldiers of the northern frontier only listen to my orders," said King Qiong, if the emperor frames us again, the northern frontier will definitely rebel, and the capital will not be at peace. Besides, if you don't joke, the emperor will not go back on his word easily. ”

"But before we go back to the capital, we must find Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan and return to the capital together, and we can't let the emperor know that they protected Jill and An'er."

"Why?" Qiu Xun asked puzzled.

"If you let them know that it was Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan who protected the child, they would inevitably attract revenge in the future. If there is any trouble, Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan are afraid that they will be implicated. ”

King Qiong's words moved Qiu Xun, although King Qiong is a general, but his heart is very fine, and he can be respected and loved by the soldiers and the people because of his love for the soldiers and the people.

After settling down in northern Xinjiang, Qiu Xun also sent people to Hangzhou to quietly inquire about the news of the little prince and the county lord, but there was no clue.

"I don't know where Mr. Zhao and Chun Nuan took Jill and An'er?" King Joan said worriedly.

"Why didn't they go to Hangzhou? Where can you go? Qiu Xun thought for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, Chun Nuan must know that the fourth princess and his cousin are both from Hangzhou, and if you go to Hangzhou, you must be easy to be found by the imperial court,"

"Then it must be where Chun Nuan knows." King Joan continued.

"I remember," Qiu Xun suddenly said loudly, "I remember Chun Nuan told me that her hometown is in a small village in the north, what is it called, I think about it, by the way, it is called Hulu Village, at that time I thought the name was strange and funny." ”

"Do you think she's going there?" King Joan asked.

"She said that her parents were gone, and only one sister had married into her own village," Qiu Xun said affirmatively, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and Chun Nuan must have felt that it was safer there, so she took them there." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it." King Joan said. "No, I'd better go in person, Chun Nuan must be afraid of others asking about them, only if I go in person, I can find them."

"I'll go too," Akihiro said,

"You don't want to go, the road will be very hard, and besides, you also need to leave someone behind in the northern Xinjiang, in case something happens in the capital, you have to make a decision." King Qiong patted Qiu Xun on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely find our children." ”

King Qiong and the generals of Northern Xinjiang explained a few words, but in order to reduce the goal, King Qiong did not bring anyone. Fly on the horse alone, and go according to the place that Qiu Xun said.

After Qiao Zhuang dressed up as a businessman, King Qiong asked all the way, looked all the way, and didn't dare to be careless.

I don't know how many days after walking, King Qiong finally inquired and found a place called Hulu Village, which is indeed very remote, surrounded by mountains, and encloses the village inside. I saw a few families here and there.

King Qiong dismounted and asked a little girl if there was a brother and sister with dragon and phoenix twins living here.

The little girl looked at King Joan and said. "There are no dragon and phoenix twins here, only my aunt has a twin brother."

"Oh," King Joan was a little disappointed.

King Joan decided to go any further, and just as King Joan was about to turn and mount his horse, he heard several children shouting, "Hello sir." ”

King Joan looked back and said, "Ah, this man is so familiar. ”

The man also looked at King Joan, who was riding a tall horse.

"You are?" Mr. Zhao looks like King Qiong, but he doesn't dare to pretend to be King Qiong's dress.

Prince Qiong looked at him a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it

You think, in this remote and poor small place, where does Zhao Wencai still have that suave image, wearing coarse cloth clothes sewn for him by Chun Nuan, and his hair is tied casually with a cloth rope. I was always afraid of being recognized, and I developed the habit of bowing my head, my back was not as straight as before, and the beard on my face also covered my fair and handsome face.

The two of them were frozen there, and neither dared to recognize anyone first.

"Daddy, Daddy," came a child's cry,

King Joan looked ahead and saw a woman with a pair of twin boys approaching.

Chun Nuan recognized King Qiong, and she froze. Because she didn't see Qiu Xun, King Qiong was dressed like this again, and she didn't know what was going on.

King Qiong recognized Chun Nuan for a long time, and led the horse to Chun Nuan.

Zhao Gongzi will know that this is indeed King Qiong, and quickly let Chun Nuan take King Qiong home first.

As soon as a few people entered the house, Chun Nuan couldn't wait to ask where Qiu Xun was. When she knew that Qiu Xun was fine, she smiled with relief.

"Mother," a child grabbed Chun Nuan's hand and looked at King Qiong in fear. The other child hugged Zhao Gongzi tightly.

Qiu Xun knelt on the ground, "King Joan forgives his sins." When the child comes, it is the time to learn to call his father, if not, he is afraid of suspicion from others. ”

"This, what about Jill?" King Joan looked at the two children and asked strangely.

Zhao Gongzi hurriedly picked up Chun Nuan and said, "King Qiong, don't blame Chun Nuan, when we ran away all the way, the city was full of portraits of the little prince and the county lord, and there was no way for Chun Nuan to dress up the county lord as a boy, so no one knew that the county lord was a daughter." ”

King Qiong understood, he looked at Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan gratefully, and said, "You are not wrong, you are the reborn parents of Ji'er and An'er, and you should be called your father." ”

King Joan looked at his children, they were all bright, although they were coarse cloth clothes, but they were clean and obedient, but the faces of the two children were not very clean, and King Joan tried to wipe the dust off the children's faces with his hands.

Zhao Gongzi hurriedly said, "Chun Nuan is afraid that the little prince and the county lord will be recognized, so he won't wash their faces." ”

King Qiong understood that this little girl who was loyal to Qiu Xun really took great pains to protect her two children.

Dedicated.

King Qiong said to Zhao Gongzi, "The emperor has pardoned us for our innocence and wants us to return to the capital immediately, you can pack up and go back with us." ”

"This," Zhao Gongzi looked at Chun Nuan's belly in embarrassment.

"Ah, you areβ€”" Joan Wan understood. Laughing happily.

King Qiong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll take Ji'er and An'er back to the north first, you wait for the spring to be warm, and then you will go to the capital to find us." That way, they won't suspect that you took the child. ”

Chun Nuan nodded.

Wake up early in the morning. I made a lot of dry food. For King Joan and the children to eat on the way. He wrapped two more children's clothes and said, "These two clothes are changed when they are hot and cold on the road, and they will not be used when they arrive in the capital." Chun Nuan's heart was sour.

Since leaving the capital, Chun Nuan's eyes have never left these two children for a moment, although it is a short parting, she is also reluctant.

King Qiong saw Chun Nuan's thoughts, "I'll see you again soon." I thank you on behalf of the Princess. King Qiong hugged his fists and said goodbye to Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan, and took the little prince and the county lord to fly on the horse one after another.

At first, these two children thought it was fun to be on the horse, but when they saw Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan who were gradually moving away, they suddenly cried and wanted to find their parents.

The distance from Hulu Village to Beizhuang is much closer than that from the capital.

King Qiong took the little prince and the county lord and finally returned to the northern frontier.

Qiu Xun was excited to see his pair of children. In two years of hard work, they have grown a lot taller.

Qiu Xun washed them and put on a daughter's outfit for the county lord, and the pair of children were very similar to King Qiong, especially the little prince was a little King Qiong.

At night, Qiu Xun looked at the two sleeping children and said to King Qiong, "It's hard for Chun Nuan to take care of the two children so well, and they are scared every day when they suffer and are tired." ”

"Yes, I want to thank Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan," King Qiong said.

"The two of them must have hastily worshiped the church by themselves, and when they return to the capital, they must congratulate them well."

Qiu Xun's heart was grateful, she knew that Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan must have suffered a lot.
