Lu Bing was half-lying on the bed, and Lu Xuan was holding a bowl to feed his father medicine.

As soon as Zhu Xixiao entered the door, he immediately knelt on the ground: "It's all because of the inconsiderate nature of the lowly duties, so that the commander made the adults worry."

"It's fine, as long as it's settled." As soon as Lu Bing's words fell, he let out a violent cough.

Zhu Xixiao immediately got up and sat on the edge of the bed to help beat his back. After a while, Lu Bing's cough gradually stopped: "The emperor is suspicious by nature, and he won't fully believe your words, do you see what the emperor thinks?" Why don't you investigate the crime of befriending border generals and hiding the head of the gang, and try Yu Dayou in person? ”

Zhu Xixiao pondered: "Although the emperor has not been in the court for many years, he knows the situation and the situation of the country well. He knew that the Ming Dynasty was now in the south and the north, and civil strife was frequent, and the imperial court needed a brave and warlike veteran like Yu Zongbing, and he could not chill the hearts of all the southeastern soldiers because of the suspicion of a lowly person. Therefore, the humble position felt that the emperor should be gambling. Rao is like this, and the emperor will not let General Yu return to the southeast to take up his post. As for the personal trial in front of the emperor, he believed that the emperor would not be tried in front of the courtiers, but would be interrogated alone, but in fact, he asked about the actual situation of the anti-Japanese war on the southeast coast. ”

Lu Bing's eyes showed approval: "This is indeed very in line with the emperor's temperament." Yu Dayou is upright by nature, how to deal with the emperor's questions, so that he can not only explain the actual situation of the anti-Japanese war, but also not lose the emperor's face, this is a difficult problem for him. Li Wenjin, the governor of Xuanda, immediately said that I was ready to move again, and Datongwei urgently needed a capable general. In front of the emperor, Yu Dayou can neither show a thorough understanding of the battle situation on the nine sides, nor can he appear to be blinded, but he must be clear about the tactics of both the enemy and us. In the past few days, you have been doing more homework with him. ”

"The adults are thoughtful and obedient."

Lu Bing's eyes when he looked at Zhu Xixiao changed from praise to worry: "Xixiao, over the years, if I had half of your courage and courage, there would not be so many loyal ministers and good generals who would have been damaged by traitors, and I would not be so full of holes as I am today." You deliberately stepped into the trap of King Jing and the Yan family, and you helped yourself save the day by being honest with the emperor, this step is really bold and dangerous. Since ancient times, the imperial mind has been unfathomable. The era when Jinyiwei belongs to me Lu Bing is about to pass, and when you take over the real power of Jinyiwei, if you want to continue to do some practical things for the imperial court, it is indispensable to use this sword to go sideways. Although it is a derogatory term for officials to protect each other and form a party for personal gain, if you want to do practical things for the country and the people, nepotism is indispensable. ”

"I understand what my lord means, but I ......"

Lu Bing interrupted Zhu Xixiao's words: "I know you understand, so I won't say anything." I saw that girl today, do you think she is Xia Yan's granddaughter? ”

Zhu Xixiao shook his head: "I don't know yet."

"It's really good for her, and if you want to protect her, you have to be safe. Don't say anything that you don't marry Yang Bo's daughter has nothing to do with her, your brother came to me that day and told me a lot, do you want to say that he misread your mind? To say something that shouldn't be said, your brother thinks that he is kind to the Xia family, since you have this thought, whether the girl is willing or not, you should fulfill your wish, which can be regarded as a return to his kindness. But I ask you one thing here, if she is really a descendant of the Xia family, she must protect her for a quiet and healthy life. ”

Zhu Xixiao immediately knelt on the ground again: "My lord, she entered Beijing this time to regulate General Yu's body, and it is really not a lowly arrangement. Yes, the lowly reluctance to marry Miss Ruixuan is indeed because of her. But the humble duty knows the mission and situation on his shoulders, and he will never selfishly disturb her comfortable and worry-free years for the sake of his own happiness and happiness. ”

Zhu Xixiao came out of the courtyard and saw Lu Yanyuan sitting on the ground with a sluggish face.

Seeing this, Zhu Xixiao immediately walked up to him quickly and squatted down: "Yan Yuan, what's wrong?"

Lu Yanyuan raised his head, a dignified man, with tears streaming down his cheeks: "Big brother, just now the imperial doctor said that my father's time is probably only three or two months!"

Zhu Xixiao's heart seemed to be beaten hard by a sledgehammer: "Yan Yuan, birth, old age, sickness and death are not controlled by manpower. The only thing we can do now is to do everything around us, so that the commander can see our growth, so that we can leave with satisfaction and peace of mind. ”
