Chapter 223: Serving in the Ministry of War
The Xiao family seems to be in decline now, but as long as they become favored by the emperor, they also have the possibility of turning over.
The second prince now regrets that when Xiao Yifeng had an accident that day, he not only did not help him, but also deliberately fell into the well.
In fact, Xiao Yifeng will have today's fate, which has a lot to do with him.
At the beginning, he worked wholeheartedly for the second prince, but the second prince felt that he was too ambitious.
At the same time, the emperor was also jealous of him.
The second prince deliberately pushed him out in order to protect himself.
The emperor found out a lot of evil things done by the henchmen of the second prince, and at that time, he directly ordered his henchmen to find a way to plant the matter on Xiao Yifeng's head.
Subsequently, something happened to the Xiao family.
However, the emperor never convicted Xiao Yifeng.
The second prince was uneasy, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone else.
Who knew that Xiao Hanyin suddenly came back and changed the situation of the Xiao family.
If he had known he was still alive, he wouldn't have done things so desperately.
Right now, even if Xiao Yifeng is released, the Xiao family will no longer obey him.
Not to mention such a big help, there is also a strong opponent, and the mood of the second prince can be imagined.
It's just that he can't show it in front of people, after all, he is the one who caused all this.
"Your Highness, why don't we find a way to let the emperor continue to send Xiao Hanyin out on errands?" Lord Zhou proposed.
"No, the more he does, the more fame he gets, and the more he gets in the end!" Another spoke out against it.
"Don't say it, this matter is the prince's free plan!" The second prince's tone was full of irritability.
What he once deliberately discarded has now become someone else's right-hand man, and he has mixed feelings in his heart......
After several members of the staff of the second prince glanced at each other, their eyes were full of regret.
Xiao Yifeng was loyal to the second prince at the beginning, who knew that things would get to such a point.
At this time, the crown prince received the news that Xiao Hanyin was about to arrive in the imperial city.
He immediately arranged for some officials around him to make suggestions to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that Xiao Ergongzi has outstanding martial arts, and he has solved the hidden danger of bandits for the people, so he deserves to be rewarded!" When he went to court, the prince's people took the lead in speaking.
They all felt that if Xiao Hanyin could have a good position, it would be an excellent thing for them.
"Weichen also thinks that Xiao Ergongzi's merits should be rewarded!" Others reconsidered.
The second prince and his henchmen were very unhappy about this, but Xiao Hanyin did make a great contribution this time.
It was impossible for them to deny Xiao Hanyin's merits.
Therefore, the people of the second prince also agreed, but they proposed some inconsequential civil positions.
The emperor frowned, but did not directly say what he thought.
"Xiao Ergongzi's martial arts are so strong, being a civil official is inevitably a bit unworthy of his name, why don't you let him go to the military department, there is just a general over there!" The prince's henchmen said.
This remark just happened to hit the emperor's heart.
He planned to hand over the military power to Xiao Hanyin, but now that the division is unknown, if he does this, it will definitely cause everyone to fight.
The emperor planned to let Xiao Hanyin train in the military department for a period of time, and then slowly let him take charge of the military power.
After all, the Xiao family is now tied to the prince, and they are both prosperous and lossy.
He would never give Xiao Hanyin a chance to betray the crown prince.
"I think Gao Aiqing is reasonable, and when Xiao Hanyin comes back, I will arrange for him to take up his post in the military department!" The emperor decided where Xiao Hanyin would go with a word, and others did not dare to object.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the emperor's plan, but no one dared to refute it.
A few days later, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao returned to the imperial city safe and sound.
After his return, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint.
After the emperor told him and ordered him to go to the military department to take up his post, Xiao Hanyin went back.
"Did you have a smooth journey?" After Xiao Hanchen saw Xiao Hanyin, who had returned safely, his heart finally let go.
He had been very worried before, although Xiao Hanyin's martial arts were very high, he was also flesh and blood, and it was too dangerous to exterminate the bandits.
But he couldn't go over to help him, so he could only wait anxiously in the imperial city......
"It's going well, and the emperor asked me to start working in the military department tomorrow!" Xiao Hanyin told Xiao Hanchen everything about his conversation with the emperor.
"You are the person whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts very much, I guess the emperor should plan to wait a few years before handing over the military power to you!" He quickly guessed the emperor's thoughts.
After all, although there are many people available to the emperor in the palace, a large part of them follow the second prince.
Those people all think that the second prince is the emperor's choice.
It's a pity that they didn't see the situation clearly, and the emperor was determined to let the crown prince succeed to the throne.
Now, he has made all the arrangements, and letting Xiao Hanyin go to the military department is just a step in his plan.
The Xiao family is now an inseparable part of the prince, and if you want to save your life, you must serve it......
The emperor's move is so wonderful.
"I guessed it!" But he wasn't going to accept it.
Xiao Hanyin discussed with Liu Qingshao, and when the crown prince ascended the throne and everything was settled, he resigned from his position and went away with her.
"Be careful, there are many officials in the military department who are the second prince and the henchmen of the other princes!" Xiao Hanchen knew that he was not here.
However, at this point, he had no choice.
"Hmm!" Xiao Hanyin knew that the military department was now fighting openly and secretly.
The prince once secretly told him about the situation of the army.
It is precisely because the power of the crown prince in the military department is very weak that the emperor wants to insert him into it......
Xiao Hanchen saw that he was more calm than before, so he was completely relieved.
He has grown up now, and Xiao Hanchen is very pleased. 22 Literary Network
The next day, Xiao Hanyin went directly to the military department to order Mao.
At this time, Xiao Hanchen also received an order from the emperor to go out on an errand.
He didn't want to leave the imperial city in his heart, after all, the Xiao family still had a lot of things to deal with.
Xiao Yifeng has not been released yet, and Xiao Hanyin has just gone to the Ministry of War, but the emperor's order cannot be violated, so he has no choice.
When leaving, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao went to see him off in person.
"Big brother, everything is about your own safety!" Xiao Han said in secret.
"Don't worry, I'll protect myself!" Xiao Hanchen said, "I'm going to come back to drink your wedding wine!" ”
"You are a brother, you should get married first!" Xiao Hanyin sighed.
In fact, he and Wu Qinglin are really a good match, but he just refuses to be honest about what he thinks.
"I don't have the heart to start a family at the moment!" He is the eldest son of the Xiao family, and there are too many things that need to be done for him.
Xiao Hanyin knew his concerns, so he didn't mention the matter anymore, "Then I'm going to take the lead!" ”
"Miss Liu is a good woman, she deserves to be treated well to her!" Xiao Hanchen was happy to see their marriage come to fruition.
In fact, he wanted Xiao Hanyin to marry Liu Qingshao before.
It's a pity that the affairs of the Xiao family stumbled on them, so they could only put the matter on hold for the time being.
Now, Xiao Hanyin has officially entered the court as an official, and their marriage should also be put on the agenda.
"I handed Ah Yin over to you, please take good care of him!" Xiao Hanchen said to Liu Qingshao.
"I will!" Liu Qingshao made a promise.
After Xiao Hanchen said goodbye to them, he rode away on a fast horse......
In the court, they are unable to control their own lives, which is the sadness of the whole era.
In fact, even in the modern age of advanced technology and information, everyone cannot have absolute freedom.
Subsequently, Xiao Hanyin was busy with the affairs of the court every day.
When he is free, he will accompany Liu Qingshao.
When he was busy, Liu Qingshao researched new things on his own.
At this time, a lot of fruits appeared on the streets of the Imperial City.
The climate here in the Imperial City is cold, and most of the fruits are transported from other places, although there is damage, but it is not bad.
Most of the people in the imperial city are rich and powerful, they all have their own Zhuangzi in their hands, and most of the food is sent by the people in the Zhuangzi.
Fruit is no exception.
In fact, Liu Qingshao also has a few Zhuangzi in her hands, all of which she purchased after she came to the imperial city, and there are many fruit trees in them.
Unfortunately, due to the season, there has been no result.
Now that there are fruits in the imperial city, Liu Qingshao's heart moved, and she began to study drinks again.
When she first came to the Imperial City, it happened to be winter, and now spring is almost over.
In early summer, the weather outside is getting hotter and hotter day by day.
It would be great to have a cold drink at this time.
In modern times, she often likes to drink water with ice in the summer.
Liu Qingshao soon researched several different flavors of juice.
Ancient fruits were all natural, and although the taste was not as sweet as modern ones, it was very refreshing when added with ice cubes.
After the launch of Liu Qingshao's drink, it immediately attracted a craze.
This drink is a drink that many people try for the first time and feel good.
The most people in the imperial city are rich people, and the price of Liu Qingshao's drinks is not high, and they can also add ice on the spot according to personal needs.
Even if everyone doesn't go to her restaurant to eat, they must buy a cold drink.
Liu Qingshao had specially ordered someone to make an ice cellar before, which was reserved for use in the summer.
After all, she owns a restaurant, and in the summer, ice is needed for many things.
After Xiao Hanyin heard that Liu Qingshao's business was getting better and better, she was also happy for her.
Doing business has always been her favorite thing to do.
Xiao Hanyin was sincerely happy for her, and at the same time wanted to marry Liu Qingshao home as soon as possible.
She is really too good, Xiao Hanyin wants her to become her own.
Especially when he was resting, he found that Liu Qingshao often had some ill-intentioned people around her, dangling in front of her eyes.
Now, her business is doing big, and many people want to get a piece of the pie, and some even have the idea of Liu Qingshao.
This is the most intolerable thing for Xiao Hanyin.
How could he allow someone to covet Liu Qingshao?
So, Xiao Han walked freely in front of the emperor and mentioned his marriage to Liu Qingshao.
"Do you want to marry Liu Qingshao now?" The emperor didn't expect him to be so eager.
Generally, men do not marry until they are eighteen.
Now that Xiao Han is only sixteen, he can't wait to get married, and the emperor feels a little speechless.
"Yes, please fulfill Your Majesty!" Xiao Hanyin knelt in front of him and said.
"Could it be that you're still afraid that she will run away?" The emperor quipped.
"Weichen wants to set his name as soon as possible!" so that those who covet Liu Qingshao will die.
Xiao Hanyin didn't say the latter sentence.
"In that case, I promise you that I will marry you tomorrow!" After the emperor heard his words, he felt more and more strange in his heart.
Isn't it the thing that women care about the most, how did they get to Xiao Hanyin, and things changed completely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Xiao Hanyin heard the emperor's words, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
