Chapter 25: A Smart Man Who Would Will
Zhao Tianyu and Xue Mofeng returned from the battle and made great contributions, Zhao Tianyu was directly named a lieutenant from a white body, and Xue Mofeng was canonized as the general of Zhenbei.
For a time, the two became famous in Kyoto and became hot figures.
However, the real hero and hero King Xiang had no reward, and the officials in Beijing were all surprised.
"Xiao Yanhao has made a great contribution this time, but his father has not given him a single reward, what does his father mean by this?"
In King Qi's Mansion, Xiao Hongxuan stood under the moonlight, his face was solemn, and his eyes were slightly cold.
The guard Ma Weiyuan looked at King Qi and raised his hand and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates think that there is something strange about this matter. ”
"If Your Majesty is rewarded, this matter will be turned over, and now there is no indication that I am afraid that it is to prepare for a better gift, and the prince must not be unguarded."
"The position of the crown prince has been vacant, and King Xiang has made great contributions, which is the most beneficial to him."
Xiao Hongxuan was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Ma Weiyuan: "According to your meaning, my father wants to canonize Xiao Yanhao as the crown prince?" ”
"It's not impossible." Ma Weiyuan bowed his head and replied.
"Xiao Yanhao is the son of Empress Yuan, and the eldest son, he has always pressed me, if he wins the position of the prince, this king will completely succumb to him."
Xiao Hongxuan's eyes were dark, he looked into the distance, and suddenly chuckled again, and the deep coolness in his eyes did not retreat.
"Xiao Yanhao has been casual all these years, and he has even sneered at the government, and he wants to take away the crown prince with just a few military exploits, which is simply delusional, how can the civil and military officials agree."
"The king of tomorrow will let the queen mother go to explore the truth and reality."
Xiao Hongxuan changed the topic, and said: "What is the relationship between Xue Mofeng and Xiao Yanhao, who has just entered Beijing, I need to investigate, this person really has real skills, if he can be gathered under the command of this king, it will definitely be a big help."
"Don't worry, your subordinates will arrange it later." Ma Weiyuan replied respectfully, "But you want to check Zhao Gongzi together?" ”
"No need, Zhao Tianyu has been close to Xiao Yanhao since he was a child, if it weren't for other interests, it would not be easy to break the connection between them."
The casual Xiao Yanhao can become his advantageous competitor because of the Yongdehou Mansion, if Xiao Yanhao does not have the help of the Yongdehou Mansion, he is simply vulnerable.
"The prince can marry Yongdehou, and Yongdehou's power will naturally belong to the prince."
"This king already has a princess, how can the eldest lady of Yongdehou condescend to the position of the side concubine, besides, that Miss Zhao has been weak and sick since she was a child, there is no medicine and no doctor, and even the imperial doctor Wen of the Tai Hospital is helpless, if she marries and accidentally dies of illness, Yongdehou does not complain about this king, this move is inappropriate."
Ma Weiyuan took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Yongdehou also has two daughters. ”
Xiao Hongxuan's cold eyes swept towards Ma Weiyuan, and Ma Weiyuan's whole body trembled.
Ma Weiyuan hurriedly explained: "Although it is said to be a concubine, if you can conclude a family, Yongdehou will invisibly return to the prince, even if Yongdehou has no intention, it is something that others can't imagine." ”
Xiao Hongxuan chuckled: "Yongdehou's second lady is interesting, she actually refuted the marriage with the third brother, and people who are so above the top are afraid that they can't look down on the position of this king's side concubine." ”
Although the corners of his mouth were smiling, his eyes were full of deep irony.
Ma Wei disagreed: "How can King Jing compare with the prince." "King Jing is a down-and-out prince, who would be a smart person.
"Then don't go to prepare a congratulatory gift, tomorrow Yongdehou will celebrate." Xiao Hongxuan tilted his head and said in a deep voice.
"My subordinates will arrange it." Ma Weiyuan immediately stepped back respectfully.
