The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon hung in the night sky.

At this moment, the palace is brightly lit, and the imperial garden is full of friends.

When the emperor arrived at the Imperial Garden, the seats were already full, and he had always been strict and rigid, but now that he learned that the six princes had won many battles, he had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Seeing the emperor in a dragon robe appear, everyone stood up and bowed down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Seeing this, the emperor casually raised his hand and waved, and calmly sat down on the dragon chair in the middle, his eyebrows and eyes were full of indifference, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

During the banquet, the staggered discussions, and the words of the officials were cheerful, which made people feel that they were happy.

"This Nanban conquest is indeed the credit of all Aiqing, if it weren't for the Aiqing's fearlessness, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been defeated."

The emperor's voice sounded, and the people around him quieted down and listened to his words quietly.

Having said that, who in this room doesn't know, General Wu, who is a meritorious hero this time, has never appeared.

After all, these people here are scheming in the imperial court, and none of them are willing to stand up for the Wu family.

In the past, the Wu clan was powerful and powerful, and they all hoped to be able to fall in love with the Wu clan, but now the Wu clan is suspected by the emperor of being a sinner who collaborates with the enemy and treason.

In order to keep a distance from the Wu family, so as not to be suspected by the emperor, all the courtiers tried their best to cut off their contact with her.

When they saw the Six Princes now, all the hundred officials just opened their mouths to congratulate and celebrate, "Your Highness, if it weren't for your bravery and fearlessness at this time, I'm afraid it would be impossible to win the Southern Barbarian Campaign so easily." ”

"Yes, yes, His Highness is indeed brave and resourceful."

There are countless praises like this, but when the six princes listened to these words, they did not go through the slightest humility, but just responded one by one.

The sixth prince is the most hard-working hero tonight, he was praised by the emperor, unhurriedly took two steps forward with the glass cup in his hand, walked to the vacant seat in front, and bowed to the emperor who was high above, "Father, thank you for your promotion of the son, if it weren't for the father, I'm afraid the son's minister would not have today's achievements." ”

He repeatedly mentioned the emperor's promotion, which was undoubtedly not a compliment to the emperor.

But the emperor is the one who eats this set the most.

With a smile on his face, he waved his hand directly, signaling that the six princes did not need to be polite, and then praised him again, "The six princes have grown a lot now, and they are really becoming more and more sensible." ”

Knowing that the emperor attached great importance to the six princes, many people at the banquet tried to get close to him in order to seek fame and fortune.

And the six princes relied on this group of people to gradually establish their own power in the court and stabilize their power.

The banquet in the palace was full of guests, but the palace of General Hui seemed a little depressed and deserted.

Wu and Hui Yuzhong were sitting in the main hall, and the table was full of all kinds of Wu family's favorite dishes, but at this time, not only did she not have a little appetite, but she felt extremely irritable in her heart, and she couldn't stabilize her mind at all.

Seeing Wu's frowning appearance, Hui Yuzhong wanted to step forward directly to comfort, but when he thought that there were other people here, Hui Yuzhong glanced at the maids standing behind him who were ready to come forward to serve all the time, and just said coldly to let them retreat, "You all retreat first." ”

After all, Hui Yuzhong was the person in charge in the general's mansion, and when they got this order, they retreated one by one after supporting themselves slightly.

At this time, Hui Yuzhong lifted his chair and placed it beside Wu's side, and lowered his voice as much as possible, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

At the same time, Hui Yuzhong picked up the chopsticks and put some of her favorite dishes on her plate, but Wu always frowned and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Maybe it's because Hui Yuzhong has long been accustomed to the cold eyes of the Wu family, and he didn't feel any discomfort, but he just took care of the dishes for her, and comforted the current Wu family with a good temper, "Madam, are you angry about the emperor's actions?" ”

In the capital, I am afraid that there is no one who does not know that the emperor set up a banquet to celebrate the achievements of the six princes, and the banquet is even more about the hundred officials in the court.

In any case, the Wu family has been cautious for many years, but now the emperor is ignoring her alone, this move is clearly a disguised explanation that the emperor does suspect that there is a connection between the Wu family and the Nanban.

Maybe it was the sore spot of being poked in the heart by Hui Yuzhong, Wu glanced at him, and replied with a straight face and pretending to be calm, "Angry? I'm just a courtier, how can I have so much courage to be angry with the emperor? ”

Wu has always liked duplicity, and Hui Yuzhong knows her thoughts best.

"Madam, the emperor's move may be due to his strategy."

As soon as Hui Yuzhong's words fell, he saw Wu's brows furrowed, and he replied directly without thinking, "I'm not angry because the emperor didn't entertain you and me. ”

After a slight pause, what came to Wu's mind was the red-eyed ghost soldier who had killed in Silver City at that time.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a little difficulty, raised her eyes and looked directly at Hui Yuzhong, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Hui Yuzhong's hand, her face was full of sincerity and sincerity, "I have seen the methods of ghost soldiers, they are particularly ferocious people, when they kill red eyes, they will even kill the brothers in the army, and even the former women's army has been killed countless by them." ”

Some time ago, Hui Yuzhong didn't know about the Southern Barbarian Campaign.

When he saw Wu's worried look, somehow, he remembered that others had framed Wu.

Wu's expression was solemn, and he hadn't noticed Hui Yuzhong's demeanor, he just said to himself, "The ghost soldiers' methods are vicious, I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen, if you can't stop it in time, I'm afraid that things will go off the normal track in the future." ”

After that, the Wu clan stood up directly, wanting to go to the emperor to inform the emperor of the concerns in his heart.

Hui Yuzhong came back to his senses, looked at the Wu clan with an impulsive face, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pull her, and asked with some puzzlement, "Madam, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu's temperament was anxious, and because he was too nervous and worried, his face was full of sadness, "I want to enter the palace and show the emperor the means of ghost soldiers." ”

After getting along with the Wu family for so many years, Hui Yuzhong certainly knows her character best.

Even if everyone suspected that the Wu clan might collaborate with the enemy, Hui Yuzhong was willing to believe in her loyalty.

The Wu family has always defended the country with sincerity, not to mention any treason against the enemy, I am afraid that others have given the Wu family the supreme position, and she will never take it to heart.

Hui Yuzhong took a deep breath and forced the Wu clan to sit down, "Madam, don't worry about this matter anymore, lest others think that you really did something to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason." ”

For ghost soldiers, Hui Yuzhong has heard of it somewhat.

But in Hui Yuzhong's understanding, the six princes have the ability to control the ghost soldiers, so there is absolutely no way that there will be any problems, and there will definitely not be any sudden accidents as the Wu clan imagined.

"Madam, ghost soldiers or something, let's put it down for the time being, your top priority is to have dinner to rest."

After all, during this period of time, the Wu family couldn't sleep day and night, and the whole person looked a lot haggard.

In the past, Hui Yuzhong had a heavy army, maybe the emperor could still listen to some words, but in order to be able to protect the Wu clan, Hui Yuzhong had already handed over all the military power in his hands, even if they wanted to think about the emperor, he would definitely not believe it.

In desperation, Wu sighed lightly and had dinner with Hui Yuzhong.

In the dead of night, seeing that the Wu clan was already asleep, Hui Yuzhong put away his outfit and went directly to the palace.

Perhaps the emperor has been waiting for Hui Yuzhong, and his study is still lit up.

When Hui Yuzhong arrived outside the imperial study, his father-in-law went in directly to pass the word, and then he heard the people inside summon Hui Yuzhong in.

Hui Yuzhong's eyes darkened, but he respectfully pushed open the door of the imperial study and walked in, "Weichen knocks on the emperor." ”

The emperor waved his hand casually and signaled Hui Yuzhong to be flat.

At the end, he raised his eyes and glanced at Hui Yuzhong, and asked in a cold voice, "Hui Aiqing came this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

The emperor suspected that the Wu clan was collaborating with the Nanban, and Hui Yuzhong naturally knew about it, and he came this time in the hope of gaining stability.

Rather than holding the military power, it is better to take the initiative to stay away from the capital and stay away from these disputes.

Hui Yuzhong knelt on the ground with a plop, his face was full of piety, and he said directly without thinking, "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that there are some mistakes in what the insiders have done, so Weichen specially asked the emperor to take the insiders to garrison the frontier. ”

Garrisoning the frontier is a hard job.

Even the emperor never thought that Hui Yuzhong would put forward such an idea now, his eyes sank, and he couldn't help but look at Hui Yuzhong, his voice became colder and colder, as if there was no trace of temperature, "What Hui Aiqing said is joking?" ”

The frontier has been an extremely barren place for many years, and no one wants to go there.

But it was Hui Yuzhong, and it was inevitable that the emperor would be surprised when he asked Ying to go at this critical moment.

For today's Hui Yuzhong, whether it is on the sword mountain or down to the sea of fire, as long as he can clear all the suspicions on the Wu family, he will not hesitate.

Hui Yuzhong kowtowed heavily and continued to request, "Wechen doesn't dare to laugh with the emperor, and I ask the emperor to agree to Wechen's thoughts." ”

Seeing this, the emperor didn't continue to embarrass him, but just stretched out his hand and touched his beard, and finally came down, "Okay." ”
