Hearing the emperor laughing, the old man did not have the slightest joy on his face, his legs bent and knelt down with a "poof", and said with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, this son is bold and arrogant, and his eyes are not respectful, and his crime should be punished!" ”

Zhao Zhao waved his hand, the emotions on his face had disappeared without a trace, whether it was the previous shock or gaffe, how much was a temptation to act, and how much was real exposure, only he knew it.

His tone suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Wang Shun, how long has it been since I ascended the throne that no one has spoken to me like this? The high place is unbearable, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty say that I am the emperor of the ages, but Xu Rui is right, I am the Son of Heaven, but I am also a mortal, I will make mistakes if I am a mortal, I should have a friend, remind me a few words at a critical moment. ”

Wang Shun's pupils shrank when he heard this, as an old eunuch who had served three generations of emperors, he was too familiar with this powerful emperor, this is a person who has a heart and the ability to control the world, anything that cannot be controlled will be wiped out as a stumbling block.

Judging from Xu Rui's performance today, he is definitely an outlier who can't be controlled, but the emperor not only tolerated him, but even intended to be friends with him, does he really value that kid so much?

Emperor Hongwei glanced at him, seemed to see his consternation, and said coldly: "Don't be surprised, I only have the world in my heart, no personal feelings, for the sake of the world, I will do anything, why not make a friend?" ”

Wang Shun's face changed, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The old slave speculated on the holy will, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Emperor Hongwei waved his hand: "Get up, put more thought into errands in the future, although I have no intention of hiding my identity, but I can be seen through by others at a glance, but my face is still gloomy." ”

"The old slave confessed his guilt, and immediately after he went back, he rectified the ...... of the East Factory"

Wang Shun fell on the ground and pleaded guilty, but Emperor Hongwei just said "um" and didn't respond, he slowly walked to the window, and watched Xu Rui's figure gradually disappear through the crack in the window.

"What do you think of this person?"

When Xu Rui's figure disappeared from view, Emperor Hongwei suddenly asked, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking Wang Shun.

Wang Shun got up slowly, hesitated slightly, and said: "A little talented, but unruly." ”

Emperor Hongwei glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "It's a shame that you boast of having a deep understanding of people's hearts, but you have mistaken this person. Although I only glanced at him briefly, he only spoke a few words, but every sentence was to the point.

Before this, people all over the world didn't understand that the victory of Wuling Xiao'er's soldiers could completely sweep the world, why did they just make a small fuss and not want to forge ahead?

People all over the world say that he is from a humble background, limited by the pattern, and a small wealth is peace, only Xu Rui said the true meaning, Wuling Xiaoer wants to seize the world without blood, such a calculation is really a big trouble for my Northern Dynasty!

Looking at Xu Rui again, he is only sixteen years old, but he has a deep understanding of the general trend of the world, which is really enlightening......"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is really dizzy."

Wang Shun lowered his eyebrows and said expressionlessly.

Emperor Hongwei pointed at him, shook his head and said, "Are you old and dizzy?" You're an old man, and you just don't want to tell the truth! ”

Wang Shun's dead man finally showed a smile on his face, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty will naturally have some plans when he examines his courtiers, and it is not the turn of the old slave to make irresponsible remarks." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "It's just that the old slave heard that this son is from Guiguzi, and he is the junior brother of King Wuling, and the day before yesterday, Jinyiwei sent information that he may be a secret chess ...... of the Southern Dynasty."

Emperor Hongwei was slightly stunned, shook his head and sighed: "Through Yin and Yang, descending to the sky, building immortal bridges, attacking the city without blood, leading 50,000 remnants of the army to break the black flag, since I saw these shocking actions in the secret report of the Jinyi Guard, I am full of curiosity about him."

For this reason, I did not hesitate to dry the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty for a whole month, just to see this person with my own eyes.

Originally, I thought that the secret report was only a three-point letter, but when I saw it today, I realized that I underestimated him, and you also listened to what I said.

There are such talented people in the world, except for Xu Rui, I am afraid that there is only one person in Wuling of the Southern Dynasty, and the Guigu lineage is really all dragons and phoenixes among people!

As for the matter of dark chess, I thought it was just chasing the wind and catching shadows, and the Guigu family has always been its own master, not to mention that even Wuling Xiaoer would never be extravagant enough to let the heirs of Guigu be the chess pieces.

However, this matter is very important, and it is important to ignore it, and for the sake of insurance, it is better for you to spend some effort to figure it out. ”

"The old slave obeys."

Wang Shun arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty has the heart to use him?" ”

"Of course, the world's talents must be used by me, let alone such a genius?"

Saying that, Emperor Hongwei sneered, and said: "But he is too young, the alarm bell of King Wuling of the Southern Dynasty is in front of him, when he was born, he was only eighteen, and in just twelve years, he has been in power in the Southern Dynasty, and there is no seal, so that the tail is too big to fall, endangering the clan."

I must not have a second Wuling King in Great Wei, so this Xu Rui wants to use it, but it is not such a usage, I want to choose a unique path for him! ”

Wang Shun nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the old slave still has some experience, this son is indifferent and jumpy, and he has no ambition, I'm afraid it is not easy to control." ”

Emperor Hongwei glanced at him and sneered, "Ambition? It was the easiest seed in the world to take root and sprout, and sooner or later he would have it, and even if it really didn't, couldn't I plant it with my own hands? ”

Wang Shun's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his body shook unconsciously.

Emperor Hongwei saw his reaction in his eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go, they have been drying them for a month, and it's time to close the net." ”

Outside the long street, Xu Rui strode towards the tea stall.

When the generals saw him return, they hurriedly surrounded him.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Yi was the first to rush to Xu Rui and asked with concern.

Xu Rui shook his head with a smile, and before he could speak, he heard Gonggong Cao ask, "What about the people inside?" ”

Xu Rui glanced across the street and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm still whispering, but I guess there are new plans now, right?" ”

"New plans?"

Several people were stunned, and Xiao Jinwu hurriedly asked, "What did you tell them?" ”

"I didn't say anything, the uncle inside was a little stupid, so I educated him well."

Xu Rui shrugged.

"What?"

Father-in-law Cao's face changed greatly: "Ouch, my little ancestor, do you know who he is?" Who in the entire Great Wei would dare to talk nonsense to him? You're in trouble! ”

Liu Yi made a blank face and said angrily: "What are you crying about? None of you dared to speak before, and now you are complaining about this kid, what's the reason? ”

As he spoke, Liu Yi glanced at Xu Rui, who was smiling repeatedly, and said, "Don't worry, the sky is falling, and the old man will hold it!" ”

After being reprimanded by Liu Yi, the faces of Gonggong Cao and Xiao Jinwu were not good-looking, especially thinking that they didn't dare to say anything about Wang Shun's identity because of their timidity before, the two of them felt ashamed, and they were embarrassed to look at Xu Rui's eyes.

Xu Rui didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "A few adults, you have a love for the kid, the boy understands, I know that you all have your own difficulties, and the kid doesn't care."

You don't have to worry too much, that uncle is probably a studious person, and he was taught a lesson by the kid, not only did he not blame, but he seemed to be very satisfied. ”

"Is that true?"

The trio's eyes widened in disbelief.

Xu Rui nodded, and was about to explain a few words, when there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the long street.

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw a team of people pouring out at both ends of the street at the same time, and it was all Xuanjia Hongying, who was the Yulinwei who was responsible for guarding the Forbidden Palace!

Yulinwei is only three or five hundred people, but the soldiers are clean, the weapons are lofty, murderous, and the military appearance is not much better than the Black Flag Army, but I don't know how much combat power the Black Flag Army has?

Yu Linwei surrounded the restaurant that Xu Rui had just visited, jumped out of the queue, and rushed towards the generals first.

As soon as the generals saw this person, they immediately stopped entangled with Xu Rui, each of them straightened their armor, and then stood in two columns according to the size of their official positions.

The one who rode a few feet away grabbed the reins of his horse, and jumped from a white standing horse more than a person tall to a heroic general in his thirties.

He first saluted everyone, then shook the pole and said loudly: "The Beiwu Guards will receive the order!" ”

Liu Yi's faces were solemn, and they knelt down in unison, shouting loudly: "The last general will take the order!" ”

As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, Xu Rui doesn't have the habit of kneeling when he sees someone, but if everyone kneels, he will become very prominent if he stands alone, and maybe he will cause some trouble.

After a little hesitation, he had to follow at the end of the line and kneel down with everyone, but he was uncomfortable.

"Holy Word! The northern Wuwei immediately returned to the camp, and the generals above the fourth rank entered the Taihe Temple. ”

"The last general will thank you!"

After the decree was announced, the general arched his hand to the generals and said, "Generals, the Holy One is urgent, please don't delay!" ”

With that, he flew on his horse and ran towards the middle of the procession.

Hundreds of Lin Wei were like a tide, guarding a car that came out of the restaurant, and drove in the direction of Daxing City, as clean and neat as when they came, without half a minute of delay.

The Northern Martial Guards slowly got up, their expressions different.

"The Holy Lord has always been resolute, but this matter has been brewing for more than a month, and it seems that it is inevitable that there will be a bloody storm."

Xiao Jinwu sighed and looked at Xu Rui as he spoke.

Obviously, the conversation between Xu Rui and Emperor Hongwei was the fuse for Beiwuwei's return to the camp, and perhaps it will also determine the direction of the situation to a large extent.

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's going to come sooner or later, time is pressing, let's go!"

Liu Yi said in a deep voice, then turned back to Xu Rui and said: "You go back to the camp and wait for me first, and after you enter the palace to see me, the old man will come to arrange your affairs, you must not make any more moths in the past few days, you know?" ”

Xu Rui nodded curtly, and said secretly in his heart: I have always been peaceful, and I have always been a moth looking for me, okay, you should let those inexplicable people not come to me!

Naturally, he only dared to think about these words in his heart, and even if he wanted to say it, he couldn't say it at this time.

After returning to Beijing, Beiwuwei, who had been left to dry, finally returned to the camp, and a pool of stagnant water suddenly came to life, as if a spark had been thrown into a wooden barrel filled with explosives, and I don't know how many people would be crushed by the explosion.

As Gonggong Cao said, the court is another battlefield, and the bloody wind and rain there are no weaker than the real battlefield.

And it all depends on the mind of a person, who is sitting in the car at this time, holding the secret report of Jinyiwei to Beiwuwei all the way in his hand, frowning, not knowing what he is pondering.
