After the early dynasty dispersed, King Yu asked to see Emperor Hongwei alone, and told him with affection that Wuliji usurped the throne of the Jinshan tribe and went around in tandem to collude with other tribes to do evil.

Emperor Hongwei held the teacup and seemed to listen casually, and when he finished speaking, he just asked lightly: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?" ”

King Yu didn't know why Lao Zhao's attitude was so cold, but he still stubbornly recommended King Su to lead his troops to the grassland.

What he means is that the grasslands have not yet been unified, and the tribes have not yet really competed with the capital of the Great Wei, so King Su led the troops to put on a posture to intimidate the grassland tribes and suppress the ambitions of Wuliji.

The second is to take advantage of the characteristics of this trip to the grassland to be close to actual combat, temper the 12 guards of the Beijing division that are being rebuilt, and after such a large-scale exercise, the reconstruction of the 12 guards can be completed at least one year ahead of schedule.

This is to use multiple means, such as military and diplomatic, to take a multi-pronged approach and strive for the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

In fact, Huang Zhengyuan's idea coincides with Xu Rui's plan, and at the moment there is no real war with the grassland, diplomatic division and intimidation by force have become the best choice, if the emperor hears about the grassland for the first time, maybe he will really allow it.

It's a pity that this matter has already been learned by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, even if they didn't report it, Xu Rui had just reported it to the emperor the day before, and even gave a detailed strategy for using troops, planning the route, time and purpose of each step of the march.

Xu Rui's strategy was naturally much better than ordinary armed intimidation, so the emperor not only felt lackluster when he listened to King Yu's recital, but also saw the trickiness at a glance.

"You came up with all these ideas on your own?"

Emperor Hongwei seemed to be quite interested in the teacup in his hand, and asked lightly while playing with it.

King Yu kowtowed and said: "Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters couldn't sleep at night after learning about the grassland, and they thought about it for a whole night before they had the previous recital." ”

"Not bad!"

Emperor Hongwei nodded: "It's rare for you to have such insight at your age, but the matter of Bing Ge is not a child's play, the old six years are still young, I'm afraid I can't deal with the complicated situation on the grassland, you, as an elder brother, it's a good thing to love your brother, but don't help the seedlings." ”

King Yu was stunned: "Father, the matter of sending troops to the grassland ......"

"Huh?"

Emperor Hongwei put down the teacup in his hand, looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you have someone else to recommend?" ”

Yuwang breathed and shook his head subconsciously.

Of course, he had to shake his head, since he wanted the emperor to believe that the proposal to send troops to the grassland was to fight for the military power of King Su, then at this time, even if there were other candidates, he couldn't say it, and Emperor Hongwei used his logic to generalize his army.

Emperor Hongwei seemed to have a trace of disappointment on his face, waved his hand and said: "That's it, although your strategy is feasible, but there is no suitable candidate, instead of working hard to go on an expedition and spending military funds, it is better to think about whether there is a better way, go down." ”

Yuwang opened his mouth, but finally bowed deeply.

"Yes, Erchen understands."

Looking at King Yu walking out of the south study in despair, Emperor Hongwei's face gradually became solemn.

"Wang Shun, do you think there will be someone's 'guidance' behind the fourth child?"

The emperor suddenly asked for no reason.

Wang Shun flashed out from behind the screen like a ghost, lowered his head and did not speak.

Emperor Hongwei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "Or is this kid already at the age of Sichun?" Hiss...... It seems that Xu Rui's worries are not unreasonable, he can trick the prince into acting as a lobbyist, this woman can't stay......"

"Slave maid, let's do it......"

Wang Shun nodded, and said that he was about to drill behind the screen.

Emperor Hongwei smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's just a woman with a bit of beauty, I can't even tolerate her, how can I tolerate the world?" That's it, go to the people to find a woman with an innocent net worth and a mediocre appearance to be a side concubine for the fourth child, and he should also wake up. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Wang Shun bowed, saw that the emperor had no other instructions, and slowly walked behind the screen.

"Huh...... Hehe......"

On the Wentian Pavilion, Princess Qixia looked at the "maid" behind Xu Rui, her cheeks twitched slightly, and her smile was very unnatural.

Xu Rui looked at her appearance, and felt weak for no reason, holding a teacup and smiling with her.

"Brother Xu, your maid is really ...... The country is fragrant, why don't you borrow a little brother for a few days? ”

Princess Qixia, who was dressed in men's clothes, shook a folding fan, and she really had the style of a young talent, but the words she said were like dirty things between the sons and daughters.

It is also strange to say, Qingnu actually did not see the identity of Princess Qixia disguised as a man, from Xu Rui's respectful attitude towards him, it is not difficult to infer that he must be a very important figure, even more reliable than King Yu.

But for some reason, the young girl felt that this handsome young man made her very uncomfortable, cold as frost from beginning to end, and never gave him a good face.

"Hiss......"

The young girl's body didn't move, but a small hand quietly pinched the soft flesh on Xu Rui's waist, and he gasped in pain, as if he was telling him in this way: If you dare to agree, this girl will want you to look good.

In fact, this is a young girl who is too worried, even if what Princess Qixia said is not a joke, Xu Rui does not dare to take this proposition.

Just kidding, one of these two women is ruthless, the other is generous and wise, they are not good at stubble, and God knows what kind of sparks will be sparked when they get together.

It's messy enough now, and he doesn't want to invite any more unwarranted disasters.

"Isn't it just a maid, Brother Xu seems to be under a lot of pressure, and cold sweat is on his forehead."

Princess Qixia joked with a smile.

"Where, where, it's too hot, it's too hot."

Xu Rui hurriedly moved his buttocks, shook off the young girl's magic grasp, and then wiped the white sweat on his forehead.

"Qi, I have so many maids, Brother Xu doesn't want to forget it, why bother so much? Could it be that you have a lot of relationship with the maid? ”

Princess Qixia complained half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the young girl showed her shyness very cooperatively, blushing and lowering her head, as if acquiescing to his inference, seeing that Princess Qixia's forehead was full of green tendons, and she could smell the sour vinegar smell from afar.

How could Xu Rui not know the fighting methods of the two women, but Princess Qixia obviously came to deliberately find fault, and Qingnu wished that the whole world thought that she had slept with her, and the more she explained at this time, the more passive she became, so she could only honestly pretend to be stupid.

But there is no way to go on like this, Xu Rui's mind turned sharply, thinking about the way to get out of danger, and his eyes suddenly fell on a small guy outside the bread room, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"It's too hot, why don't you cool off with a pot of cold Coke? Dude, man! ”

Xu Rui changed the topic with a smile, and without waiting for Princess Qixia to answer, he happily beckoned the guy into the house.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Princess Qixia was angry and funny, and she couldn't bear to embarrass him anymore, so she scratched him deeply and let him call his buddy.

The guy was standing outside the house, and he didn't know if he was waiting for the food to be served, or if he was going to clean up which box, he was obviously stunned when he was called by Xu Rui, and he looked left and right to see if there were any other guys, and then he walked in.

Xu Rui didn't pay attention to his man's movements in a weak heart, and when he came in, he said: "Come on a pot of iced Coke, produced by Tianbao Pavilion, ice does not need well water, and it needs a mountain spring taken from the upper reaches of Tianmu Lake in winter." ”

"Hey, why don't you know Coke?"

After saying it in one breath, but not seeing the guy answer, Xu Rui looked at him suspiciously, and his heart suddenly sank.

This guy's face was rough, but he didn't have the cleverness of running the hall, but it seemed that there were more butchers than guys, and when he took a deep breath, he immediately smelled a faint smell, and Xu Rui suddenly secretly screamed in his heart.

"Hahaha, forget it, if you don't have a coke, you can have a pot of sweet wine."

He said silently, and at the same time stretched out his hand to touch the Qingluan crossbow hanging on his waist, this guy is obviously different, now that the princess is present, she must not be allowed to put herself in danger, Xu Rui made up his mind to fool the past first and then think of countermeasures.

Hearing Xu Rui say this, the guy was obviously relieved, nodded, and was about to turn around and go out.

However, at this moment, the young girl suddenly saw Xiao Si's face clearly, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she exclaimed: "Huhe, it's you!" ”

That Xiao Si was called to reveal his identity, and he was suddenly shocked, and a trace of hideousness flashed on his face.
