Chapter 243: Princess Zhenbei
However, the emperor did not reach for it.
Instead, he mocked lightly: "Who in the world doesn't know that the Northwest Army only listens to the Huo family and the Nine Emperors?" I took this half of the tiger talisman and sent people down, and I couldn't command it either. ”
"What does the father mean ......"
The emperor sighed: "Tiger talisman, I won't take it." One, it's useless to take it. Second, if it is not used well, it will also make the Northwest Army unstable, so you can keep it. ”
"Please also ask my father to make it clear." Xiao Shaoxuan didn't pick it up, but waited for the other party to offer specific conditions.
"There are three generals in the Northwest Army, one of whom is in charge of 100,000 elite soldiers, and you are one of them, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to send a general over and make him your lieutenant."
"And then?"
"Then, you must help him establish his military power and control the soldiers until he can actually use your tiger talisman."
“…………”
"Before this, Lu Ruoqing can marry you, but she must stay in the capital."
Xiao Shaoxuan knew that the conditions would be harsh.
However, I didn't expect it to be so harsh.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is destined to be a prince in his past and present lives, and he is destined to rebel!
Order, rules, are nothing when they are abandoned.
Xiao Shaoxuan deliberately hesitated.
He didn't want to agree too quickly, making the emperor doubt his sincerity and motives, just the right amount of silence.
On the contrary, the emperor was a little anxious.
The military power in the northwest, he has not been able to hold it in his hands since he ascended the throne, and he can't find a chance!
---- this is the only opportunity.
If it weren't for Xiao Shaoxuan's obsession with Lu Ruoqing's beauty and becoming General Huo, even if he killed ten Lu Ruoqing, he would not be able to agree to such conditions.
After all, the Huo family is not only his courtiers, but also has a deep blood feud.
The emperor felt that he should run out of a little bait, and said: "If you agree to this condition, I will immediately canonize you as the king of Zhenbei, and Lu Ruoqing will become the princess of Zhenbei." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be a little moved.
The emperor said: "At the same time, I will also send someone to protect Lu Ruoqing's safety, and there will never be any mistakes." ”
That's true.
Hostages, of course, are only useful if they are alive.
Xiao Shaoxuan still didn't answer.
The emperor pressured again: "The longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Lu Ruoqing." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan seemed to think for a long time before he said, "Erchen has one more condition. ”
The emperor said, "You say." ”
"Erchen and Lu Ruoqing will get married within a month." At this point, Xiao Shaoxuan cannot back down.
Because I will leave the capital soon and return to Mobei, I can't afford to wait.
"A month?" The emperor muttered: "Although it is too hasty and unruly, it can be done ......." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan knelt down and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”
The Emperor smiled, "Get up." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan reached out and took back the tiger talisman, bowed and said, "Erchen retires." ”
The emperor's gaze involuntarily moved with the tiger talisman, flashing a trace of reluctance.
But he knew very well in his heart that even if he took the tiger talisman now, it would be just a useless piece of broken copper and iron.
---- still needs time to wait.
.
Lu Ruoqing was already sleepy and tired, and was knocked out by Xiao Shaoxuan, coupled with the effect of soothing incense, she slept until dusk before waking up in a daze.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Shaoxuan sitting on the edge of the bed.
She was still confused, "You ......, ah! You were the one who knocked me out before. ”
Xiao Shaoxuan smiled and reached out and rubbed her neck, "Does it still hurt?" Maybe it's a little heavier. ”
Lu Ruoqing's neck did still hurt a little.
That's not what she cares about, though.
Instead, he asked urgently: "You knocked me unconscious, did you get out?" ”
Xiao Shaoxuan smiled: "Where can I go?" I've been guarding you here. ”
Lu Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
But then ......, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
She also thought that Xiao Shaoxuan was really impulsive enough to negotiate with the emperor for her sake.
"Regrets? Regret shouldn't have stopped me? Xiao Shaoxuan laughed and teased her, with a warm smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Nope." Lu Ruoqing was duplicitous, shook her head and said, "It's best if you don't go to the emperor to make trouble, otherwise I can't afford to cause trouble." ”
Xiao Shaoxuan smiled: "Yes, I calmed down and thought about it later, it's better not to be impulsive." ”
Lu Ruoqing said "um" and didn't speak.
Mint shouted outside the door, "Your Highness, will you bring in dinner?" ”
Lu Ruoqing was puzzled: "Why did you eat dinner?" I haven't eaten lunch yet. ”
"Then eat the two together." Xiao Shaoxuan smiled, helped her out of bed, and called Mint to come in to freshen her up, and then accompany her to dinner.
Lu Ruoqing looked out the window and said in surprise: "It's dark? I ...... how long I slept. ”
Mint replied, "Miss slept all day. ”
Lu Ruoqing was stunned, and turned her head to look at Xiao Shaoxuan, "Then you stayed with me for a day and kept it for a day?" I know it's hard work for you, but I'm a female official in front of the palace, and if you ...... like this, I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble again. ”
Xiao Shaoxuan said firmly: "No." ”
Lu Ruoqing wanted to say, why not?
But thinking that he had worked hard to guard her all day, he was also worried about her, and he didn't suspect her and dislike her because of King Huan's rumors, so he swallowed the words of reproach.
"Eat first, you're full, and we'll have something to do later." Xiao Shaoxuan served her a bowl of soup.
"What's the matter?"
"You'll know when you're full." Xiao Shaoxuan is still mysterious.
Lu Ruoqing was indeed hungry, and she was afraid that she would get sick, so she took it seriously.
After eating, I cut my pulse.
Seeing this, Xiao Shaoxuan said: "It is said that doctors do not treat themselves, are you planning to prescribe medicine for yourself?" It's better to ask a doctor. ”
Lu Ruoqing shook her head, "No, it's just that the cold has entered the body." ”
Speaking of this, a haze flashed in Xiao Shaoxuan's eyes.
However, he didn't mention King Huan, so as not to add blockage to Lu Ruoqing's heart.
Xiao Shaoxuan turned his head and said, "Tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that this side is ready." ”
It turned out that the emperor's holy decree had already been issued to the Zongren Mansion.
But Xiao Shaoxuan saw that Lu Ruoqing didn't wake up, so he asked the people from the Zongren Mansion to wait, and when he said yes, he would come over and read the holy decree together.
In the world, how dare anyone let the divine decree wait?
This is clearly out of order.
But the people from the Zongren Mansion went to ask the emperor, and the emperor agreed.
---- then wait.
At this time, Lu Ruoqing ate well, and the sky was dark.
Only then did the people from the Zongren Mansion get the news, saying that the two masters were ready, let them go over and announce the decree.
Well, this is a big one!
The eunuch of the Zongren Mansion muttered: "It's amazing, it's the first time to let the holy decree wait to be read." ”
The companion urged: "Let's go, these two can't afford to offend." ”
Soon, the group came to Lu Ruoqing's residence.
"The Nine Emperor Princes, the Lord of Huixian County will receive the order!" In the night, a high-pitched cry from the eunuch sounded.
"Let's go, go and get the order." Xiao Shaoxuan said with a smile.
"How do you get us to do it together? Are there any penalties? Lu Ruoqing was instinctively frightened.
Xiao Shaoxuan was very distressed when he saw it in his eyes.
But this is not the time for children to grow up.
"Let's go, it's a good thing." Xiao Shaoxuan comforted her, helped her, and went out together.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the two knelt down together.
"Today, there is the ninth son of the emperor who is smart and sensitive, upright, and has been stationed in Mobei for many years since he was a teenager, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, calming the turmoil in the northwest, and specially canonized as the king of Zhenbei."
"The son of the minister took the order, thank my father and Emperor Longen." Xiao Shaoxuan raised his hands above his head to receive the order, looking very respectful.
Lu Ruoqing was stunned.
That's not right! Xiao Shaoxuan's previous life was not canonized as the king of Zhenbei this year!
How has it changed?
Moreover, Xiao Shaoxuan canonized the king of Zhenbei and called her out to kneel down together, what are you doing? It's really inexplicably weird in my heart.
Just when she was confused.
I saw that the eunuch unfolded another holy decree and sang: "Today, there is a daughter of the Lu family, first as a female official in front of the palace, and then there is a woman who solves the epidemic for the people of the capital. ”
"............" Lu Ruoqing was instantly stunned.
Princess Zhenbei?! Princess, she is the princess of Zhenbei.
Xiao Shaoxuan quipped: "Look, the princesses of this king are all happy and stupid." ”
The eunuch of the Zongren Mansion stepped forward and smiled politely: "Princess, take the order." ”
Lu Ruoqing was still in a trance.
Just according to the rules, he raised his hands above his head and received the holy decree.
The eunuch of the Zongren Mansion flattered: "The servants are here, and I have congratulated His Royal Highness the King of Zhenbei and the princess." ”
