Zhao Lei's execution is down, and the crimes committed by Shen Xiping and Shu Jiuchai have not yet been resolved.

Wantonly besieging the imperial capital Daxing City and publicly announcing its separation from Sui Yang's rule, how majestic it is.

In front of the people of the whole city, Wang Xiaolai fought Shen Xiping's 20 military sticks, Liu Mianyi, Ning Xi, Jia Kang, Pei Fanglei Chong and other generals, and six people were deprived of their official positions of the third class.

As for Shu Jiuchai's own subordinates, Wang Xiaolai was not merciful, everyone was punished for kneeling for three days and deprived of salary for one year.

Salary or anything is a trivial matter, mainly a punishment of kneeling for three days, and it is also a punishment of kneeling on the street, but no individual can stand it, but Wang Xiaolai insists on this, and no one dares to disobey his will.

Even if the empress is persuaded, she can't persuade Wang Xiaolai.

Even Hongxiang, whose injuries had only just improved, could not escape this punishment.

Wang Xiaolai was even more simply resigned as a taifu.

His approach, although it was to appease the courtiers, was a bit heavy anyway.

Before, everyone didn't know why Shen Xiping and Shu Jiuchai did such a rebellious thing, but now they understand that the assassin mastermind who assassinated Wang Xiaolai was Zhao Lei, what's wrong with one of your victims?

Yes, Shen Xiping, who was trapped in Daxing City, and Shu Jiuchai, who openly disobeyed the Son of Heaven, are your people, and the old subordinates are not fake, but they were also mad and made such outrageous moves, what does it have to do with you?

The top and bottom are in the same tone, and they all talk about this matter separately from Wang Xiaolai.

In the end, even the empress said that Wang Xiao was coming: "Taifu is the position I gave you, I don't say take it, see who dares to talk nonsense." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Wang Xiaolai had no choice but to admit it, he was still in front of his own wife, but he only punished Shen Xiping and them, but he did not give in at all.

In addition, Wang Xiaolai even said that the empress said that she had just been injured and was weak, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for one person to support the affairs of the National Protector Legion, and Shen Xiping and they were at fault and it was difficult to take on the big responsibility, so he asked the empress if she could choose another person to be the deputy commander of the National Protector Legion and manage the National Protector Legion during the period when she was recuperating from her injuries.

Wang Xiaolai's request, the empress agreed.

At the beginning, the court thought that the position of this deputy marshal should be that of Cai Bingwen, the general of Zhendong.

But no one thought that the deputy commander of the National Protector Army was Zhao Lang, the son of Zhao Lei, the king of Dong'a.

Although Zhao Lei was the mastermind of the assassination of Wang Xiaolai, this did not prevent the empress from attaching importance to her son Zhao Lang.

In addition to being the deputy commander of the National Protector Corps, Zhao Lang is also the official general of Zuo, and the title inherits the throne of his father Zhao Leidong.

The assassination turmoil was perfectly resolved, and the courtiers who always said that they were not at ease about handing over the Protector Army to Wang Xiaolai also kept their mouths shut.

Wang Xiaolai can fight and can fight, they don't worry about it, now it's okay, with Zhao Lang as the deputy marshal, don't care how much role he can play as the deputy marshal, but relatively speaking, it also makes those clan courtiers who suspect that Wang Xiaolai has two hearts feel a lot more at ease.

···

Seven days after Zhao Lei was buried, Wang Xiaolai took a red incense and wanted to go to the imperial tomb to worship this old loyal king who was dedicated to the country, but there were some stubborn old loyal kings.

Li Baiyi couldn't let go of her daughter, so she followed silently.

Wang Xiaolai knew what Li Baiyi was thinking, but he just smiled and didn't expose it.

The three of them drove to the edge of the imperial mausoleum, got out of the car and walked forward, but after about a hundred and ten steps, Wang Xiaolai was tired and panting.

Hongxiang was a little worried about Wang Xiaolai's body, so she came up to support her, and shouted with a worried face: "Childe, are you okay?" ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand and smiled, looking at Hongxiang and smiling: "Sister, I punished you for kneeling on the ground for three days before, you didn't resent me in your heart, right?" ”

Hongxiang lowered her head: "Childe, don't say it, Hongxiang is also to blame for this matter, I didn't persuade Sister Jiuchai, which made Your Majesty sad." ”

Wang Xiaolai gasped: "It is not easy for Your Majesty to work this Sui Yang, not to mention, the war will start soon, Your Majesty's difficulties are greater than any of us, she is the king of a country, unlike us, when you want to pick a child, you can pick a child when you want." ”

Li Baiyi pursed his lips beside him and said: "Only this time, if you are like this next time, the old man will not be able to spare you first." ”

Wang Xiaolai laughed, looked at Li Baiyi, who was protecting the short, and said, "There will be no next time." ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai raised his head and said quietly: "I didn't know at all, His Majesty's importance to me, in the eyes of others, it turned out to be such a thought, alas..."

Thinking about it, he shook his head.

Li Baiyi tilted his head and looked: "So, you let Zhao Lei's son Zhao Lang divide your power?" ”

Wang Xiaolai squinted and smiled: "Although Your Majesty is at ease with me, but the court officials are obviously not like this, to tell the truth, fame and wealth are like clouds with me, what I care about is only Your Majesty." ”

Li Baiyi only pouted: "Come on, you want to say that you don't care about fame and fame, and the old man still believes it, you say you don't care about wealth and nobility?" Excuse me, is Master Taifu amusing me? ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

Walking forward while arguing, when they came to the imperial tomb where Zhao Lei was buried, the soldiers guarding the imperial tomb saw Wang Xiaolai, and they all came forward to stop him, shouting: "Stop, the royal land, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter." ”

Wang Xiaolai saw sweat on his head, and Hongxiang asked for a handkerchief to wipe it, and then said: "I am Wang Xiaolai, I want to go in and worship the old prince Zhao Lei, the two brothers are troublesome and accommodating." ”

The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and took a closer look, who else would it be if it wasn't Wang Xiaolai, and the two hurriedly politely: "It turned out to be Master Taifu, forgive sins, forgive sins." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "The two brothers are polite. ”

The soldiers turned around and moved out of the way, and one of them muttered, "Since Lord Taifu is worshipping, you are a little late, and someone is already earlier than you." ”

Wang Xiaolai was stunned when he heard this: "Is there anyone earlier than me?" ”

The soldier nodded: "What is that guy's name, strange name, went to His Majesty's to ask for a will." ”

Wang Xiaolai's heart sank, it turned out to be him.

"What's the matter, Master Taifu, do you know him?"

Wang Xiaolai smiled and nodded: "He is my benefactor." ”

After speaking, he went directly into the royal mausoleum.

Behind me, two soldiers, look at me, I look at you.

Wang Xiaolai walked into the cemetery and found Zhao Lei's tomb, and sure enough, he saw a person kneeling in front of Zhao Lei's tomb from afar, burning incense and worshipping.

Wang Xiaolai asked Li Baiyi to lead Hongxiang to wait on the spot first, and then walked forward with his hand lightly covering the injury.

His movements were light enough, but even so, he was still heard.

He turned his head around, his expression was the usual indifference, and his lips moved: "It turned out to be Master Taifu." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled, touched back and forth on his body, and then said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring incense." ”

Shh: "···"

He silently took out three sticks of incense and gave them to Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai shook his head and refused, then took out three cigarette rolls from his body, lit them, took a puff one by one, turned them back, inserted them in front of the tomb, and said, "In my hometown, you can use this." ”

He stopped talking.

Wang Xiaolai put on a cigarette and bowed three times to Zhao Lei's tomb.

It was just an easy movement, but Wang Xiaolai, who was tired, gasped for breath.

With a plop and sitting down weakly, Wang Xiaolai leaned his neck and inhaled.

He looked at him and said, "Is that injury serious?" ”

Hearing that Wang Xiaolai was happy, he was hit by thirteen arrows and one knife, and there was no good meat in front of and behind him, could it not be serious.

"Still, it's okay, if I hadn't been injured before, how could I have let you succeed."

Wang Xiaolai's words are believed in him.

When Wang Xiaolai came back from the grassland before, he also made a move, and that time was resolved by Wang Xiaolai, so he believed that Wang Xiaolai had that kind of strength.

Wang Xiaolai stretched out his hand and pulled out a withered grass next to him, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, then was silent, and suddenly, he said: "That night, thank you." ”

He understood what Wang Xiaolai's Xie meant, nodded lightly, and then said: "Master Taifu doesn't need to thank me, I won't kill you, it's not that I changed my mind and betrayed the prince, but to Sui Yang, to Your Majesty, you can't die..."

Wang Xiaolai looked at it suspiciously.

He said: "I have already repaid the favor you gave me before, and you and I don't owe each other." ”

Wang Xiaolai thought for a while and nodded: "Yes." ”

He stood up.

Wang Xiao came to see him and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ignoring Wang Xiaolai, he went directly...
