Chapter 236: Expedition
knew that Xu Huaiqing would become his wayblock, and he should have gotten rid of him before he entered the court. However, at this time, in front of the emperor, he had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"King Wei, I will now appoint you as the general of the expedition to the west, and from now on I will lead the troops to the frontier to suppress the rebellion."
"If the retainers obey the order, they will live up to the holy hope."
After saying that, King Wei turned his head and glanced at Xu Huaiqing gratefully. Although Xu Huaiqing has always refused to accept his solicitation, at this critical moment, he can stand up and speak for himself, which is enough for King Wei to treat him as his own.
Unlike King Wei's gratitude, the crown prince and his group gritted their teeth at Xu Huaiqing. If this expedition is handed over to the crown prince, as long as he wins, it will almost be declared that the crown prince is the heir to the throne. But Xu Huaiqing jumped out at this time, ruining their good deeds.
For the Prince. The party's vicious gaze, Xu Huaiqing chose to ignore it. He has always been optimistic about the prince in his heart, even if he didn't have a conflict with the prince this time, I'm afraid there will be such a time in the future, and he has long been mentally prepared, so he didn't care.
"The suppression of the rebellion is not trivial, and it is still a little uneasy to let King Wei go to me alone." The emperor frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he spoke, "Xu Aiqing, since it is the King of Wei recommended by you, then you will go with the King of Wei, and let the military advisor sacrifice wine and give advice for the King of Wei." ”
Xu Huaiqing hurriedly thanked him, "The ministers obey the order and will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to King Wei, "The two of you must be united in this trip, discuss together in case of trouble, and do not act arbitrarily. If I win this time, I deserve a big reward. ”
"Father, do you want to consider the appointment of Xu Huaiqing as a military advisor?" The prince wanted to stop him, so he opened his mouth to persuade, "The king of Wei has commanded the army for many years, and he has been ordered to go to the frontier as the commander, and the sons have no objections. But not long after Xu Huaiqing entered the court, he was a civil official selected by the imperial examination, and it was probably not appropriate for him to assist King Wei. ”
The prince's henchmen also chimed in and advised the emperor to choose another candidate.
"The difference that everyone is talking about." King Wei had received Xu Huaiqing's favor before, and when he saw that everyone was opposed to Xu Huaiqing being appointed as a military advisor, he also helped him speak, "Although Xu Huaiqing has never been on the battlefield, he has far beyond ordinary people's vision and judgment. This is completely different from those who can only act according to the military book, and I believe that with his assistance, our army will be able to conquer everything and be invincible. ”
Hearing King Wei's words, the emperor nodded lightly, "Since King Wei has said so, all Aiqing don't need to say anything." I believe that with the King of Wei and Xu Aiqing coming out, our army will be able to succeed. ”
The prince wanted to speak, but was stopped by the minister beside him.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has made up his mind, if he persuades him again, I'm afraid it will make him angry."
Although the prince was unwilling, he could only stand aside and no longer speak.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, King Wei walked to Xu Huaiqing's side, "Lord Xu, thank you for speaking for me in the court, otherwise this time to suppress the frontier, I am afraid that the crown prince will have to go." ”
"King Wei is serious, I just expressed my opinion to the emperor. If the king of Wei goes, the probability of winning is definitely far greater than that of the crown prince. ”
Although Xu Huaiqing still refused to take a clear stand, King Wei knew in his heart that he preferred himself more than the crown prince. Knowing this was enough, he was not in a hurry to persecute Xu Huaiqing.
"Lord Xu, the emperor ordered you and me to go to the frontier together, I don't know when we can leave?"
Xu Huaiqing thought for a moment, "I don't know how much time it will take to go to the frontier this time, let me go back and inform my wife, and then go to the frontier with King Wei." ”
After speaking, Xu Huaiqing took the lead in leaving and rushed directly to his home.
Bai Jiujiu prepared the meal and waited for Xu Huaiqing to go down. When she saw Xu Huaiqing pushing the door in, she just wanted to greet him, but found that there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.
"Is something wrong?" Bai Jiujiu asked with concern.
"Jiujiu, I'm afraid I'm going to leave for the time being." Xu Huaiqing looked at Bai Jiujiu, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "There was a rebellion in the frontier, and the emperor ordered me to assist King Wei and go to the frontier to quell the chaos together." ”
Hearing this, although Bai Jiujiu was reluctant, she also knew that this was not a bad thing for Xu Huaiqing.
Soon after Xu Huaiqing entered the court as an official, the emperor handed over such an important task to him, which shows his appreciation. If he can take this opportunity to make outstanding achievements, Xu Huaiqing's future can be said to be bright.
"That's a good thing." Bai Jiujiu poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xu Huaiqing, "The eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." If you go to the frontier, you will return victorious. Don't worry about home, I'll be here, waiting for you to come back like a hero. ”
Bai Jiujiu's words were heroic, and Xu Huaiqing was also a little enthusiastic when he heard it. He nodded vigorously and drank the wine handed over by Bai Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, with your words, I will definitely return with a great victory." ”
Bai Jiujiu returned to the room, packed up the things needed for Xu Huaiqing's expedition, and handed them over to him.
"Huaiqing, this is your first time on the battlefield. Although you have to make a war achievement, you must not be too reluctant. Bai Jiujiu changed into a clean coat for Xu Huaiqing and admonished, "I will wait for you at home until you come back." ”
Xu Huaiqing nodded, stretched out his arms and hugged Bai Jiujiu hard. His strength was so great that Bai Jiujiu felt that it was a little difficult to even breathe. However, Bai Jiujiu did not stop it, enjoying Xu Huaiqing's somewhat rough warmth.
"Jiujiu, I don't know how long it will take me to go to the frontier this time." After a long time, Xu Huaiqing let Bai Jiujiu go, and also advised, "You stay at home by yourself and be careful in everything." Especially Zhao Feihuai, if she comes to trouble you again, she will go to Han Zhaoyin for help. With Han Zhaoyin coming forward to him, she didn't dare to do anything to you. ”
Bai Jiujiu nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I naturally know it in my heart." ”
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Master Xu, I don't know how you are preparing?" King Wei's voice came from outside the door.
Seeing the arrival of King Wei, Xu Huaiqing hurriedly opened the door and nodded, "It's ready, and you can set off at any time." ”
Hearing this, King Wei waved his hand at the soldiers beside him. The soldier led a tall horse.
"Lord Xu, the soldiers are very fast, since we are ready, then let's go."
Xu Huaiqing nodded, he kissed Bai Jiujiu lightly on the forehead, then turned over and got on his horse, and followed King Wei towards the outside of the city.
Bai Jiujiu watched Xu Huaiqing go away until his figure completely disappeared from view, and then he returned home a little lonely.
