Chapter 14 Working Together
At the end of the court meeting, Xiao Yuan did not talk about the changing situation in the court with other officials, he felt very tired, so he walked alone on the way back to the East Palace, wanting to go back quickly and have a good rest.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw Xiao Linzi coming up.
Xiao Linzi ran out of the front hall, came to Xiao Yuan's side, bowed down and said, "Prince, you are back! Si Xingyu and the three brothers of the Lin family have been waiting for you in the front hall for a long time, you can go and have a look!"
Xiao Yuan stopped, looked at Xiao Linzi, who was bowing to his side, and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, teacher, haven't they rested yet?"
Xiao Linzi got up and replied, "It's not yet! I'm waiting for you to come back in the front hall, the bell tower in the palace rang twice today, old gentleman, they want to ask you what the situation is!"
Xiao Yuan looked in the direction of the lobby, then looked at Xiao Linzi and said thoughtfully, "This may not necessarily be all bad! Okay, Xiao Linzi, you go down first!"
Then, Xiao Yuan strode towards the lobby, and the tightly knit brows that came back all the way were immediately relaxed.
Xiao Yuan walked into the lobby and saw that the teacher, his wife, his father-in-law, and the three brothers of the Lin family were all there, sitting quietly on the left and right rows of chairs in the lobby, each tasting the tea placed on his side.
The teacher saw himself walking in, stood up and looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Yuan'er is back! I haven't seen you for a day, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let the kitchen prepare dinner for you." ”
Xiao Yuan, who was still in a heavy mood, heard the teacher's words of concern, and his mood suddenly brightened.
Xiao Yuan forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, bowed down and said to the teacher, "The student has worried the teacher, a lot of things have indeed happened today, the student is not hungry, and he has no heart to have dinner." ”
Jiang Ling opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, and sat down by himself. Mrs. Wan'er, who was next to her, shook the teacher's hand and signaled the teacher to rest assured.
Si Xingyu, who was sitting on the upper side, spoke, "Boy, I've been tired for a day, don't stand, come and sit!"
The eldest of the Lin family, who was sitting side by side with Si Xingyu, immediately got up and stood up and sat down with their brothers.
As soon as Xiao Yuan wanted to raise his hand to stop the movement of the Lin family boss, he heard Si Xingyu say, "It's okay, come up and sit down, sit with your master." ”
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to obey Si Xingyu's words and sit on the top seat.
When Xiao Yuan sat down, the maid who served immediately served the tea, Xiao Yuan picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid, swung twice, took a sip of tea, closed the teacup, and put the tea bowl down.
Si Xingyu, who was beside him, was the first to speak, "Today, I heard two bells from the palace, but my country's border is in an emergency?"
Xiao Yuan looked at his teacher and his wife, and then at the three brothers of the Lin family, then lowered his head, sighed and said, "As the master guessed, the border between the two countries of our country is located, and the two countries sent soldiers and horses to be stationed at the border between our country and the two countries at the same time, I don't know what the intention is?"
The eldest of the three brothers of the Lin family, his face was a little not good-looking, and said, "The two countries are prepared this time, the three of us brothers were in Beijing in South Korea, and we met the great grandmaster of the Wei State Protector, and I heard him say that this peace in the rivers and lakes will not be long in coming." At that time, the three of us brothers were still laughing at him, just because he dared to say such a big thing, who knows, they actually fought this idea!"
Si Xingyu, who was sitting on the upper side, turned his head, looked at the position of the three brothers of the Lin family, and said, "Three virtuous brothers, what you said is true?
The three brothers of the Lin family nodded at the same time.
Si Xingyu's face also became ugly, he and the three brothers of the Lin family are all citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they all know that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful for all these years, and there is a peaceful atmosphere between the government and the opposition, if there is really a war, the people will be displaced again, the government and the opposition will be turbulent, and they will eventually live a life without food.
Si Xingyu swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolled, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan very unnaturally and said, "Yuan'er, as the prince of my Great Zhou Dynasty, what do you think about this matter?"
Xiao Yuan's face calmed down, and he said slowly, "The kid has had a cold illness since he was a child, and he rarely participates in court politics, what do you think of this matter? However, my father has ordered me to do my best to carry out the military exercises, and I think that when the envoys of the two countries arrive, I should show that my dynasty has gone on the road of prosperity and strength of the people through all these years of recuperation, and is not afraid of any challenge from foreign countries. ”
Si Xingyu asked suspiciously, "What kind of big military exercise, why have I never heard of it?"
Subsequently, Xiao Yuan told the thoughts in his heart to several people in the lobby.
After Jiang Ling heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly, "This plan is good, it does not need war, and it can also prove that I am united in my heart and am not afraid of the challenge of any force." Yuan'er, you've really grown up!"
Si Xingyu and the three brothers of the Lin family also kept nodding.
Subsequently, the eldest of the three brothers of the Lin family stood up and said, "The country is in trouble, and the people in the martial arts should use their skills to protect the family and defend the country, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has let us see the way forward, and the three of us brothers are grateful, and we must be willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Then the two brothers got up and clasped their fists and said, "Big brother, that's right! ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly got up, helped up the three brothers of the Lin family, and said to the three brothers, "Three seniors, it is the blessing of the Great Zhou and the luck of the people to think like this." The kid has thanked three of them here for the people of Da Zhou. ”
Si Xingyu also stood up immediately, took out a bronze token engraved with the words "Alliance Leader" from his arms, handed it to the three of them, and said, "Take my alliance leader's order, tomorrow morning, your three brothers will go to find the members of the alliance and tell them that when the situation changes, those who are willing to serve the court and work for the welfare of the people will come to the East Palace to gather." ”
The eldest of the Lin family took the token and bowed down and hugged his fists, "Don't wait for me, our three brothers rushed back to Jiangnan overnight, and we will definitely live up to the trust of our eldest brother, and you are waiting for our good news here." ”、
Xiao Yuan nodded, and did not stop it, he tore off the jade pendant from his waist, and said to the three of them, "This is what my father rewarded me when I was born, and I carry it with me, and I will not leave my body for a moment. ”
The three brothers nodded at Xiao Yuan. Then, he turned and left, out of the lobby, and disappeared into the night.
Afterwards, Xiao Yuan bowed to Si Xingyu and Jiang Ling and hugged his fists and said, "Master, teacher, mother, Yuan'er has been running around all day, I want to go back to the dormitory to rest first, you should rest early!"
Then, Xiao Yuan walked out of the lobby and returned to the dormitory.
Xiao Yuan stood in front of the window of the dormitory, looking at the silent night outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
At this time of storm, no matter what, I should first improve my own realm, according to the steps of the envoys of the two countries, there should be four days to come to Jingshi, I should improve my strength, just to have the power of self-preservation, so as not to be regarded as a joke by others. I hope everything is as I think in my heart, and nothing goes wrong, the Great Zhou Dynasty can no longer withstand more storms.
