"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" With the sharp voice of the great eunuch, the civil and military eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty all knelt down in unison and responded loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

In the court, after retiring from the court, the emperor came to the imperial study, not only the political affairs of the early dynasty, but also after the retreat, the folds that were about to fill the entire table were waiting for the emperor's review.

finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor also wanted to silence his state of mind for a moment in this quiet imperial study without fireworks.

But there is no way, there will always be a few people with ill intentions who seize all the opportunities to be courteous.

"Your Majesty," the big eunuch pushed open the door, and the smile was piled up on the slightly old face, and even the wrinkles were stretched. What he held in his hand was a bowl full of white fungus soup, "Your Majesty is mostly hard work, so drink some white fungus soup to relieve fatigue." ”

"Well, I know, you just let it go." The Emperor didn't think much of it, just nodded.

But the emperor felt that the people around him had not obeyed his orders, and when he looked up, he saw the great eunuch still standing there with a smile on his face.

The emperor frowned, put the red pen in his hand on the pen mountain, and asked, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"Well, Your Majesty, this white fungus soup, but the eldest prince asked the imperial dining room to make it specially for Your Majesty. The eldest prince said that he couldn't bear to see His Majesty working hard day and night, and wanted to worry more for His Majesty. ”

The great eunuch replied respectfully, but he did not dare to look up at the emperor.

Only God knows how much benefit he received from the eldest prince's side, so that the great eunuch could mention the eldest prince in front of the emperor.

Hearing this, how could the weather-hardened emperor not hear the sound outside of this. A pen and ink had flashed in his mind.

The handwriting that even drips with ink is enough to see how anxious the owner of the writing is.

"The eldest prince wrote again that he would go to the border to investigate, sympathetic to the generals, but I have not yet allowed it. I'm afraid he's in a hurry now. The emperor naturally knew this in his heart, and he glanced up at the great eunuch, "If I am not mistaken, the eldest prince is waiting outside the palace now." ”

"This, yes." The emperor was so unpredictable that the great eunuch could only bow his head and nod his head yes.

"Hmph, his mind is still a little unclear. That's it, now that it's over, let him in. The emperor knew that such an escape was not a solution after all, so he could only relax his tone.

In this way, the eldest prince was able to be seen in the imperial study.

"My son's visit to my father." In front of the emperor, the eldest prince is a consistent form of father's kindness and filial piety.

Seeing this, the emperor only hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Calm down, you came to look for me, but for the sake of General Hui's affairs?" ”

"Yes and no." The eldest prince said calmly, as if it was not himself who was hiding his thoughts in it.

"What do you mean by that?" The emperor was naturally interested in hearing how the eldest prince spoke for himself.

I saw the eldest prince covering his mouth with his hand, coughing softly, and when he looked at the emperor again, his eyes had become much clearer.

"Father, the sons and daughters went this time, not only to explore the border passes and boost morale, but also to seize the opportunity to open a mutual market with the ethnic minorities there. In this way, it can not only increase the economy, but also give ethnic minorities a sense of belonging, father, such a good thing, why not? ”

The words spoken by the eldest prince were like an invulnerable shield, so that the emperor could not find the slightest space to fight back.

What's more, what the eldest prince said is indeed for the good of the country, if the emperor speaks out to stop it again, it will not be in the name of treason.

Looking at the expression of the eldest prince, the emperor knew that even though he had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he could only nod and say: "It's rare that you think so thoroughly, since you put it forward, just do it." I will issue a document today, and you will go to the border to investigate. But remember, don't delay your business for your own selfish gain. ”

This is naturally something to say, and the emperor and the eldest prince also know it in their hearts, but neither of them has pierced the window paper in the middle.

So, the eldest prince held the customs clearance document and a piece of paper, and rode the carriage towards the border pass.

Such a rapid battle, like thousands of troops, spread rapidly all over the north and south of the river, and even reached the ears of Hui Shangyi.

Looking at the guard's serious expression, which didn't seem to be joking, Hui Shangyi got up anxiously and made sure again: "What you said is true?" ”

"Back to the words of the young general," the guard lowered his head, but his tone became more sonorous and powerful, "There is no half-pretense in every word and sentence of the subordinates, the eldest prince is indeed coming to the border pass, and it is estimated that this hour is on the way." ”

"Oops!" It wasn't the arrival of the eldest prince that scared Hui Shangyi, but Hui Shangyi's first thought was the graceful and smiling beauty - Xiao Li. bar

If the prince came to find out Xiao Li's details, wouldn't it make everything fall into an irreversible stalemate.

No matter which way you think about the future, it is an unsatisfactory ending, and Hui Shangyi can't sit still anymore.

He immediately got up and ran outside, and even the guards who reported were blown by the wind brought up by Hui Shangyi's extreme speed.

"The young general is really as powerful as ever, and his strength is still as big as an ox."

It's a pity that the boasting of the guards is like the wind galloping through Hui Shangyi.

Hui Shangyi hurriedly sent the guards in his spare time and gathered all the craftsmen over.

The confused craftsmen looked at each other, and they didn't know what instructions this young general Hui had, so they didn't care about it, and they had to come and gather.

"Who do you think Xiao Li is?" Hui Shangyi didn't get straight to the point, but turned a corner and asked.

"Miss Xiao, she is a capable person! It's just smart! Although the craftsmen's words were vulgar, their admiration could not be hidden in any way, and it let Hui Shangyi know that these craftsmen did not have any malicious intent.

"She is naturally a rare and valuable woman in the world," mentioning Xiao Li, Hui Shangyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he immediately looked serious and instructed, "But the situation in recent days should not be underestimated, you don't want to leak the news and expose Xiao Li." If something goes wrong, we will discard a wise woman in vain. ”

"This kind of thing, General Hui has talked to such a point, where do I dare to talk more."

Seeing that the craftsmen were all swearing, Hui Shangyi's heart was slightly relaxed.

And he had already sent his subordinates to look for Xiao Li at the same time, and told Xiao Li all the urgency of the matter.

"You mean, Major General Hui has asked me to be more restrained recently, don't be too public?" Xiao Li stood by the window, looking at the branches outside the door, and confirmed again.

"Yes, General Hui did say so, and there have been rumors in recent days that the eldest prince is about to come here to investigate." The guard who came to report replied honestly.

Although it sounds simple, Hui Shangyi's tone is not very flattering, but Xiao Li is not an ordinary delicate woman, nor does she have such a crisp heart, which can be broken with one blow.

She nodded and said, "Tell Major General Hui that I naturally have a sense of priority. ”

Just as he was saying, Hui Shangyi suddenly came in, it turned out that he couldn't rest assured of Xiao Li after all, and he still came to watch her in person.

"Li'er, the arrival of the eldest prince is not my decision, and I did not expect it. So in order to protect your integrity, these days should be a little wronged by you. Hui Shangyi stepped forward with a worried face, held Xiao Li's hand anxiously for a while, and stared at Xiao Li tightly with a pair of deep eyes, never leaving for half a minute.

"This ......" Xiao Li was stunned for a moment by Hui Shangyi's sudden action, but she also reacted quickly and smiled at Hui Shangyi, "I'm not such a person who doesn't know right from wrong, what you're worried about is also what I'm worried about, you can rest assured." ”

Xiao Li's smile seemed to have magical power, which immediately calmed Hui Shangyi's turbulent mood.

So, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, Hui Shangyi couldn't even hide the restlessness in his heart, hugged Xiao Li in his arms, and said heartily: "Li Er should be an empathetic woman." ”

There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, they are all tacit results.

So, under Hui Shangyi's arrangement, it seems that everything is ready.

But where would they have thought that even if such an arrangement was secure, there were still people who wanted to get in the way. For example, Xiao Wanyin, who has always been unsettled.

The grand posture of this great prince, not to mention Hui Shangyi, is that those ordinary people who are not famous have all heard of it.

And this spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and naturally it reached Xiao Wanyin's ears. At that time, Xiao Wanyin was indignant, and the sleepless days and nights made her originally good-looking eyes full of red bloodshots.

When she heard that the eldest prince was coming here, Xiao Wanyin couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and her originally dull eyes bloomed with a different kind of brilliance because of this news.

Even her excitement was even worse, almost overflowing her heart, and not surprisingly, Xiao Wanyin shook and fell from the stool and gnawed on the mud.

In the empty space, only Xiao Wanyin hugged her knees, and her mouth let out a small moan, but her eyes were brighter than the stars at night.

Since Hui Shangyi doesn't want her, why doesn't she go to the eldest prince from the capital? What's more, the power of the eldest prince is much greater than that of the Hui Shangyi of Nalaoshzi, and it is the strongest backing.
