"Your Excellency may not know, we are actually as early as ten years ago, but the doctor is the subordinate of the Tai Lieutenant, it was the Tai Lieutenant who followed His Majesty to the expedition and returned with a great victory, and he gained a very high reputation in the government and the opposition, but somehow, after the Tai Lieutenant had no battle to fight, he gradually disappeared, and returned the military power in his hands to His Majesty."

"That's why Your Majesty assigned us to the subordinates of the military department Shangshu in accordance with the law, although Lord Ma is weak, but he is extremely humble, and we have been using the original training method of the Tai Lieutenant here."

As for the fact that the doctor was going to return the military power, it was no longer a secret in the court, and Xiao Huaian was also very clear, but Dian Tao later mentioned that he praised Ma Ge, which made it difficult for him to agree.

"So it is said that this time it is the adults who are coming to lead the army, and everyone is extremely excited, hoping that the adults can lead our seventy-two battalions to restore their former glory."

Sure enough, the days of peace are too long, but it is just such a small thing as pacifying Liuzhou, and it can also make these enthusiastic soldiers so excited, which really makes people invisibly sigh about the vicissitudes of life.

Xiao Huai'an listened, put his hands behind his back, moved his fingers slightly, and also calculated the credibility of what Dian Tao said in his heart.

If it was Taiwei's former subordinate, then this person might still be worthy of trust, but after such a long time, this person still has to take a look.

After thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an nodded meaningfully, and his face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization and nostalgia, "It turned out to be the old department before Lord Taiwei, but the official lost his strength, only these seventy-two battalions were left, and they were changed when His Majesty handed over the military department to Shangshu, I don't know what your original name was?" ”

"Your Excellency, I'm just an ordinary infantry when I was under Lord Taiwei, but now that ten years have passed, our old troops have also been assigned to different places, and my subordinates really don't want to mention it,"

"But I think my lord should have heard of the iron cavalry battalion that Lord Taiwei has cultivated, and we are the one responsible for infantry attacks."

Dian Tao shook his head slightly, it is true that according to the emperor's character, he would not allow such a dragon and tiger division to become a faint threat to himself in the Taiping Era.

The Iron Cavalry Battalion has always been Daze, and the yearning of all people who practice martial arts is naturally Xiao Huai'an is no exception, she moved out of this name, and Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but be in awe at that time, and he looked at him a little, and looked at him differently.

"This official knows, this official will definitely not live up to your expectations, it is the old age of the Taiwei, and it is time to enjoy the blessings, but the guards are still in their prime, and they can't let the group of ungrateful villains in Liuzhou look down on them."

It is rare for Xiao Huai'an to say such passionate words, in this way, can it be said that he is completely at ease with Dian Tao.

Dian Tao's touched nostrils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes were firm and expectant.

"Yes, we will obey your orders and behead all those who intend to rebel."

Outside, Xiao Huai'an had already joined the army he was about to lead, and as for the palace, it was not as calm as outsiders imagined.

In the palace, Xu Ruzhu was shocked when he heard about Liuzhou's recruitment and rebellion on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although I heard that there was some movement in Liuzhou before, Xu Ruzhu didn't expect that his uncle would be so reckless, and even the imperial court was alarmed.

Xu Ruzhu was extremely anxious, but because of his leg injury, he couldn't go anywhere, and Feibai was also wrapped around him all day long, telling him to not even want to get out of bed and walk a few steps with a limp, so he could only stay quietly in bed to recuperate.

As for Concubine Xian's side, she didn't know why Xu Kun misinterpreted her meaning, she wanted to ask Xu Kun to be on call at any time to lay the foundation for Xu Ruzhu to win the heir in the future, but now that things are so big, Concubine Xian is worried, but she also expects that if he can really succeed, Xu Ruzhu's throne will be more certain.

Then the key to the matter is how long the emperor can live.

Two days ago, because the emperor had been in a coma, the queen stayed by the emperor's side, and no one was allowed to approach, and Concubine Xian couldn't get close, and she didn't bother to visit, but today I heard that the emperor had woken up, and Concubine Xian thought about going to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, the concubines of the Cultivation Heart Hall failed to enter, and they were stopped by others.

"Presumptuous, this palace is the head of the four concubines, the queen is not there, this palace has the right to assist the six palaces, where else is this palace not even allowed to set foot in this palace, this palace just wants to come to see His Majesty wake up today, you are just a eunuch, why stop in front of this palace?"

Concubine Xian raised a pair of painted slender brows, and her two hands were supported by her eldest palace maid for peace and evening rest, as if she was in a high position on the shelf, as if she was already confident about the position of the queen mother.

Dequan hugged his own push-ups, completely sneering at his appearance, and rolled his eyes mercilessly, and the two doors behind him were also guarded by his godson Xiao Li Zihaosheng, and they didn't even show a slit.

"I'm really sorry, Concubine Xian, no one is allowed to disturb His Majesty's rest, it is also the order of the queen's mother, since Concubine Xian Niangniang is in charge of the sixth palace, now that the New Year has passed, there are still countless trivial matters in the palace that need to be bothered by Concubine Xian, so please go back to the palace first, otherwise with the relationship between Concubine Xian and Liuzhou, if Your Majesty is angry, no one can afford it."

Dequan is a close attendant of the emperor's side, and he has to think twice about what he says and does, even if he doesn't like Xiao Huai'an at the beginning, he will pretend to be very calm on the surface, but this time he is rarely a little excited.

Concubine Xian was choked by what he said for a while, knowing that when Dequan came out, there must be the queen and the emperor behind her, her face couldn't hold for a while, she withdrew her hand, gritted her teeth and moved closer to him.

"The palace is sitting upright, the affairs in Liuzhou have nothing to do with the palace, and the brother of the palace must have been wronged."

"Is it wronged, everything is free to decide, in a few days Lord Xiao will come to Liuzhou in person, if Xu Tingshi has a clear conscience, Lord Xiao's trip must be very smooth, presumably Concubine Xian Niangniang should still be able to trust Lord Xiao."

Naturally, it can be trusted, Xiao Huai'an's position is relatively neutral, and it is appointed by the emperor, if you don't even believe his words, there will be no one in the court and the emperor on the same page.

Concubine Xian was in a dilemma, a small vermilion cherry mouth also collapsed tightly, forming a line, she glared at Dequan hatefully, snorted from her nose, and had to brush her sleeves and go back with a good night's rest.

After Concubine Xian left, the queen, who had been listening to the movement outside the house, also asked the to open the door at this time.

Dequan turned his head and saw the magpie helping the queen out, the queen's face was serious, and the whole person was like an emperor, just a few days of hard work, and she experienced the double blow of her husband and son one after another, which made her feel a lot haggard.

The queen half-lowered her eyes, looking at the back of Concubine Xian in the distance, and her voice was very indifferent. "It's not just this time, it's an extraordinary time right now, and no one in the harem is allowed to visit, especially Concubine Xian,"

"When she goes back, she will inevitably collude with those people in the court, and you also ask your godson to help Bengong Haosheng watch it, so as not to give her a chance to make other moves."

"Yes." Dequan nodded in agreement, and in a blink of an eye, he glanced at Xiao Lizi who was standing beside him, Xiao Lizi was the most clever godson under him, and he was usually more trustworthy.

"Hmm." The queen groaned for a moment, turned her head and was about to go back to the house, but then she suddenly remembered something, and only called the two of them to speak alone.

"Probably the day after tomorrow, Xiao Huai'an is going to go on the expedition, you hurry up and say to the guards guarding the palace gate, you go in person, there is something in the palace to let the run, remember, don't ask them to stop people, and don't show the news."

"girl?" Since the last time the cuckoo died unexpectedly, the queen had instructed the magpie to do whatever she did, so Dequan felt a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he had to bow his head to the queen.

"Yes, the old slave knows."

From the first day of the New Year after Chinese New Year's Eve, it has only been four or five days now, and the palace and the outside of the palace have quickly returned to the usual busy state, the empress easily arranged Dequan and temporarily suppressed the people of the six palaces, and Xiao Huai'an's side was almost packed up and ready to go.

In the evening of this day, Xiao Huai'an was in his own house, ready to spend the last night in the capital, and the burning charcoal fire in the house looked particularly festive, but after all, it still didn't shine in people's hearts.

was supposed to be a family reunion in the New Year, but there were so many things happening, and the general girl was a little unhappy.

However, Su Jiao's displeasure was not directed at Xiao Huai'an. Su Jiao pursed her mouth and endured it, feeling unhappy in her heart, and was busy on her toes to drive Yang Ruopei out of a big piece of rice and give Xiao Huai'an a try on her back.

"This is a big deal that my mother was busy doing a month ago, and you know my mother's needlework, it's not much better than me, and I don't know why she is wronged like this now, holding it in the house, but it's my mother's mind, you can't dislike it."

Su Jiao had mixed feelings in her heart, and she told Yang Ruopei's true situation without paying attention. But it's also said that as a tiger girl in the gate, she is always entangled in these needlework women, and it is not like the style of their loyal and righteous Yang family.

"Naturally, I don't dare to dislike it, this piece of Dayu is much better than when I was in the Wa Kingdom."
