"Brother to the emperor to say goodbye." Xiao Li, the son of King Yong, walked into the imperial study, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down to salute the emperor. Xiao Li's age is not much different from Xiao Lanwei, and his father, Yongwang Xiao Zhaolie, is the emperor's twelfth uncle, with a violent and impulsive personality.

Before the first emperor ascended the throne, there was a serious party dispute between the princes, and after the first emperor ascended the throne, there were only two of them, Xiao Zhaolie, the king of Yong, and Xiao Zhaoxu, the king of Qi.

Because there are not many brothers of the first emperor who have survived, the emperor has always valued the only two surviving fruits, after all, they are blood relatives. Xiao Zhaolie was a romantic son in his early years, and finally waited until his first wife, Huangfu, gave birth to a son-in-law, and as soon as Xiao Li landed, the emperor made a decree to canonize the son.

Speaking of this brave king Xiao Zhaolie, it is also a headache. When the first emperor was still a prince, because he was young, he was not involved in the battle for succession, and lived peacefully until the first emperor ascended the throne, but this Xiao Zhaolie didn't know what went wrong.

Only this Xiao Zhaolie, Xu is this name with a strong character, just as true as fire, like a carbon explosion, it will explode at a point. is still beautiful and beautiful, and after having a talented and beautiful wife, Huangfu, he also picked up many concubines and concubines in the mansion one after another. From the official family to the famous prostitute, there is really nothing he can't do.

Princess Yong died of illness a few years ago, and just after his wife's filial piety, King Yong carried the house into the door. Xiao Li has a deep relationship with his mother, and he can't get used to seeing his father's prodigal and irresponsible appearance on weekdays, and as soon as this incident came out, the relationship between father and son was even worse.

Xiao Li is three years younger than Xiao Lanhuan, and those of the same age are the same generation of them, and those of the same generation are the same age as them, so Xiao Li and Xiao Lanwei have a very good relationship. went to school together in the imperial study, and even when the emperor disciplined Xiao Lanhuan every time, he could also take Xiao Li with him.

"You're here at the right time, I'm thinking, as soon as Shengqing leaves, you, a leather monkey, won't see anyone for ten days and half a month, do you have to send someone to arrest you?" The emperor raised his hand to signal Xiao Li to get up, jokingly.

"Where does the emperor say, doesn't the courtier know that the emperor is busy with government affairs, so he doesn't dare to disturb easily?" Xiao Li hurriedly laughed, the emperor stretched out his finger and pointed at Xiao Li, shook his head with a smile, and did not speak.

"Speaking of Shengqing, my brother hasn't heard from him for a few days, I don't know if the emperor knows, where did he travel again?" Xiao Li asked.

The emperor looked at Xiao Li, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Listening to the envy in your tone, why, you also want to follow him, running around all over the world?" ”

Xiao Li smiled bitterly and sighed: "The emperor should not make fun of his younger brothers, he really can't hide it, if you want to say that you envy Shengqing, you are really envious." But to emulate ...... The younger brother really doesn't have that blessing. I can only secretly envy myself. ”

"You guys one by one, there are nails in this capital, and you don't want to run out." The emperor shook his head and said, Xiao Li smiled embarrassedly, and heard the emperor ask, "Do you really want to go out of Beijing?" ”

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the emperor, and his heart suddenly jumped, a little worried, but even more joyful, and responded: "I want to!" Of course I want to! The emperor looked at Xiao Li fixedly, as if to gauge whether he was worthy of entrustment. Xiao Li subconsciously straightened his back, did not dodge or retreat, and met the emperor's gaze.

"Well, you're getting old, too. It's time to go through the experience, it just so happens that Shengqing has something to do here, so I'll leave it to you. The emperor thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Lixi is in shape, although he is the son of King Yong, but he has no official position in the court, he is a rich idler. If his mother was still alive, he would have been more than happy to be at ease. It's a pity that his mother went early, and the step-princess at home is not a discontinued product.

Thinking of the mess in King Yong's Mansion, Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart. King Yong has many concubines and concubines, and there are more concubines and concubines in the house. In addition, there is a step-princess who is not in the room, and the dark tide of the Yongwang Mansion is turbulent, which makes people unable to relax.

Xiao Li thought of the young and gorgeous face full of ambition, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He must stand up as soon as possible, and in addition to the role of the prince of Yongwang, he must have other things to rely on. Otherwise, the one in King Yong's mansion would not let him live quietly.

"Let's see." The emperor handed Xiao Lanhuan's fold to Fu'an, who handed it to Xiao Li. Xiao Li quickly finished reading it, and then said to the emperor: "I didn't expect Shengqing to have such an encounter this time, it's really thrilling." ”

"Do you know what I'm going to give you?" The emperor leaned on the throne, looked at Xiao Li and asked slowly. Xiao Li's heart tightened, knowing that the emperor was going to test him, if he didn't say it accurately, this errand probably wouldn't fall on him.

"Hangzhou is an important place of two rivers, known as the granary and silver warehouse of the imperial court. There is a cult and a rebel in Hangzhou, and the matter is very important, and the leader of the cult is still easy to deal with, that is, he is imprisoned in prison and has no time to deal with it after the governor takes office, and the most important thing is that King Yu rebels. This matter should not be publicized, and the people involved in the case must be escorted back to the capital and tried by Dali Temple. The emperor should want to handle the cult case openly and secretly handle the people involved in the case of King Yu, and if he should be detained and returned to Beijing, he will be detained and returned to Beijing, and if he should be executed on the spot, he will be executed on the spot. ”

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he looked at the emperor's expression. The emperor sat high on the throne, his expression was calm, and he could not see his emotions. Xiao Li said: "The younger brother rashly guessed, if there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive the emperor." ”

"That's a good point." The emperor looked at Xiao Li and smiled, "It's okay, my brain understands, I can see things clearly." It's just a little less experienced. In this way, I am relieved, this matter involves the royal family, although it is a national disaster, it is also a family ugly. Our Xiao family's own affairs have to be solved by the Xiao family themselves. Although you are young, you are not young, and you are the son of King Yong, so it is enough to do this. I'll give you another deputy, and the two of you will go to Hangzhou together. Be sure to understand this clearly, understand? ”

Xiao Li got an errand, it was really an unexpected joy, and he quickly knelt down and said: "The younger brother will live up to the emperor's expectations!" ”

The emperor nodded, and then said, "Tomorrow I will make an order, you go back first, and talk to your father." After all, if you want to go far away, you should let him know. ”

Xiao Li was overjoyed to receive the order, and after thanking him, he was about to retreat, and the emperor suddenly said: "By the way, if you go to Hangzhou this time, I will give you another task." ”

"Your Majesty, please command! The younger brother went to the soup and went to the fire, and he did not hesitate! Xiao Li said.

"Shengqing has been away for so long, you went to Hangzhou on an errand this time, and by the way, I escorted him back. How many times did the Queen Mother talk to him. The emperor ordered, Xiao Li smiled and said: "The emperor can rest assured!" The younger brother will definitely capture him back to the capital! Take it to the Queen Mother and say goodbye! ”

"Go ahead." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Li to step back. Xiao Li, who had got an errand, happily left the imperial study and took people back to King Yong's mansion.

"Shizi, why are you so happy to enter the palace here? What does the emperor not reward you? The little eunuch beside Xiao Li saw that Xiao Li was extremely happy, and couldn't help asking.

Xiao Li walked in front with his hands behind his back, and when he heard the little eunuch ask like this, he said, "It is indeed a great reward." The little eunuch heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations to His Royal Highness, in the Imperial City, counting all the princes, His Majesty the Emperor will love His Royal Highness the King and the prince the most, this is a great blessing!" ”

As soon as Xiao Li heard the little eunuch say this, he stopped, looked back at him, frowned and said: "You are not allowed to say this in the future, the little prince is the emperor's brother, and the princes are the emperor's sons, how can I compare with them?" Let me hear such nonsensical words again, and see how I clean you up! ”

He is just the son of King Yong, a cousin of the emperor. How can it be compared with other people's own brothers and children. If this word spreads, he doesn't know that he only thinks that the Yongwang Mansion doesn't know the height of the sky, and what other thoughts do he have!

The little eunuch saw Xiao Li's face sank, and begged for mercy. A master and a servant were talking, and Xiao Li heard someone behind him calling him: "Shizi." ”

The voice was soft, and the tail of the voice was a little imperceptible uplift. Xiao Li frowned slightly, then turned around and saluted, saying, "Say hello to the princess." ”
