Liu Siyuan replied: "It will be my father's birthday in a few days, so I will just talk about it." Liu Siyuan said that when he got to this, he had to ask someone to go to the hall and take out an invitation card and hand it to Xuanyuan Qijun, "I also invite the thirteen princes to come to the house for a meal when the time comes." ”

Xuanyuan Qijun asked the guard to take the invitation, so he said to Liu Siyuan: "Okay, Liu Guogong's face, this prince must give it, don't worry, this prince will definitely be there then." ”

Then Xuanyuan Qijun achieved his goal and was ready to slip away.

"Congratulations to the Thirteenth Prince." Liu Siyuan said from behind facing Xuanyuan Qijun's back.

Xuanyuan Qijun got the invitation and happily returned to the Mowang Mansion.

Xuanyuan Qijun shouted while he was still at the door: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, come out quickly." ”

Xuanyuan Qimo heard Xuanyuan Qijun's voice and immediately came out, "How is it?" Got it? ”

Xuanyuan Qijun held the invitation in front of him and said happily: "Look, who am I, how can I not handle such a simple matter." ”

Xuanyuan Qimo took the invitation and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the best." ”

Xuanyuan Qijun continued: "There is only one invitation, I won't go when the time comes, you go for me, and you will say that I am sick." ”

Xuanyuan Qimo touched Xuanyuan Qijun's head, Xuanyuan Qijun was a few years younger than Xuanyuan Qimo, but Xuanyuan Qijun's height was about to surpass Xuanyuan Qimo.

"Thirteen, thank you." Xuanyuan Qimo said to Xuanyuan Qijun very gratefully.

"Brother Jiu, what are you doing, you are so affectionate, okay, I'll go back to the house to rest, you can go and get busy yourself."

After speaking, Xuanyuan Qijun left, his heart was happy, it was good to be able to do something for the ninth brother, as long as the ninth brother was happy, Xuanyuan Qijun was also very happy in his heart.

Inside the Royal Palace.

"The old thirteen went to the border to assist the Nine Emperor Brothers, and the Old Thirteen appeared in the Liuguo Mansion before the celebration banquet, which shows that the Nine Emperor Brothers came back ahead of schedule." Xuanyuan Qiye said to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites glanced at each other, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites said to Xuanyuan Qiye: "If this is the case, we will be angry with the emperor, and the emperor will definitely punish the Nine Emperors after he knows it, and the emperor has said that the Nine Emperors cannot go to the capital without his permission." ”

Then the Ministry of Rites Shang Shu said: "Yes, the Seventh Prince, now the Nine Emperors have been given a new mansion, and it is also named Mowangfu by the emperor, if the emperor changes his mind, it will be very unfavorable to you, we will start the book, and the emperor will not ignore it." ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "After all, the order was given by the emperor himself, how can the words of the Son of Heaven not count, the emperor will definitely take care of it." ”

After listening to the opinions of the two adults, Xuanyuan Qiye wavered, and showed his fox tail with an evil smile, "There are too few of our people to write books, I want the people from the prince's side to jointly write with me, and I will go to the prince's side to blow the score." ”

"The Seven Princes are wise." The two Shangshu adults said to Xuanyuan Qiye.

"Tell His Royal Highness the Prince, the Seventh Prince asks to see you." A eunuch walked into Xuanyuan Qiyou's study and said to Xuanyuan Qiyou. Xuanyuan Qiyou put down the book in his hand, looked up and muttered, "What is he doing here?" Then he said to the eunuch, "Let him wait for me in the hall, and I will come in a moment." ”

The eunuch came to Xuanyuan Qiye and said, "Seventh prince, please come here." ”

The eunuch took Xuanyuan Qiye to Xuanyuan Qiyou's hall and sat down, but there was no trace of Xuanyuan Qiyou, "What about the prince?" Xuanyuan Qiye asked about the eunuch.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to let the Seventh Prince rest here for a while, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come immediately." The eunuch replied.

Xuanyuan Qiye had no choice but to wait, but after staring at Xuanyuan Qiyou for a while, Xuanyuan Qiyou still didn't come, and Xuanyuan Qiye knew that this must be Xuanyuan Qiyou's intention.

Just when Xuanyuan Qiye was about to run out of patience, Xuanyuan Qiyou came slowly.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Xuanyuan Qiyou pretended to be very guilty and said.

Xuanyuan Qiye guessed correctly, Xuanyuan Qiyou did it on purpose, after the eunuch reported, Xuanyuan Qiyou didn't care too much at all, let Xuanyuan Qiye wait in the hall, and he would definitely leave after a while, but after a while, the eunuch told Xuanyuan Qiyou that Xuanyuan Qiyou hadn't left yet, so Xuanyuan Qiyou came out of the study.

"No, no, the imperial brother helped his father to be busy with business, how could the imperial brother blame him." Although Xuanyuan Qiye said this, he didn't know in his heart that he had beaten Xuanyuan Qiyou many times.

"Yes, yes, I was busy helping my father and emperor to see the twists and turns, but I forgot the time, and I hope that the seventh emperor brother will not care." Xuanyuan Qiyou climbed up the pole that Xuanyuan Qiye gave him.

"Brother Huang laughed." Xuanyuan Qiye replied with a smile.

"Then why did the emperor's brother come today?" Xuanyuan Qiyou also went straight to the point, that is, to see what happened to Xuanyuan Qiye who had been here for so long.

"If you go back to the imperial brother, the imperial brother just wanted to ask the imperial brother, I wonder if the Nine Emperor Brothers came back to the imperial brother for a gathering?" Xuanyuan Qiye deliberately leaked the news to Xuanyuan Qiyou.

"What did the Seventh Emperor Brother say?" Xuanyuan Qiyou was a little puzzled by Xuanyuan Qiye's words.

"Oh, it seems that the Nine Emperor Brothers didn't come, I heard that the Nine Emperor Brothers came back before the celebration banquet in the Imperial Palace, I thought the Imperial Brother knew, but now it seems that the Imperial Brother doesn't know."

Xuanyuan Qiye saw that Xuanyuan Qiyou seemed to be thinking about something in his heart, and Xuanyuan Qiye prayed that he must follow his own train of thought.

"Oh, is it? What does the Seventh Emperor Brother mean that the Ninth Emperor Brother came back early? Xuanyuan Qiyu continued.

"That's right." Xuanyuan Qiye said affirmatively.

"Brother Huang, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first."

Xuanyuan Qiyou was thinking about this matter and didn't pay much attention to Xuanyuan Qiye.

After Xuanyuan Qi left at night, Xuanyuan Qiyou hurriedly summoned the prime minister.

After the prime minister came, Xuanyuan Qiyou told the prime minister about what Xuanyuan Qiye told him.

"Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?" Xuanyuan Qiyou asked the prime minister.

"The Seventh Emperor will tell you about this matter, indicating that he wants to deal with the Nine Emperors with the crown prince, and he is sharing his news with you." The prime minister tasted slowly.

"Why did the Seventh Emperor Brother, share the news with me? What was his intention in doing so? ”

"Now the imperial court is mostly divided into several factions, there are people from the Seven Princes, there are also people from the Crown Prince, and there are people from the Nine Princes and the Emperor, but if the Seven Princes join forces with you, then the situation will be different."

"What does the prime minister mean is that the Seventh Emperor Brother is reaching out to me to deal with the Nine Emperor Brothers first?" Xuanyuan Qiyou understood a little.

"Yes, he wants to deal with the Nine Emperor Princes with you." The prime minister said categorically.

"So what do I need to do?"

"You need to ask the ministers on your side to jointly write a letter about the Nine Emperors' early return to Beijing, as long as the prince gives an order, the old ministers will help you handle this matter." Cheng is still loyal and conscientious to Xuanyuan Qiyou.

"Okay, you can do this matter of the prime minister." Xuanyuan Qiyou put the matter in charge of the prime minister, and he was much more relaxed.

The next day, a number of ministers talked about Xuanyuan Qimo's early return to Beijing, "Your Majesty, you said a few years ago that the Nine Emperor Princes could not return to Beijing without your order, but this time the Nine Emperor Princes returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, should you give an explanation to the ministers." ”

The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Qimo below and said, "Qimo, what do you explain to what the adults said?" ”

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Qimo to say, Xuanyuan Qijun first explained to Xuanyuan Qimo, "Back to my father, the ninth brother was injured because of the war, so the process of our return to Beijing was much faster, and it was not the early return to Beijing as the ministers said. ”

"Presumptuous, Qi Jun, I'm asking you Brother Jiu, what are you talking about."

Xuanyuan Qimo said at this time: "Back to my father, I don't blame Thirteen for this matter, it's just because his son was injured, so the process of returning to Beijing has been accelerated, so he still returned to the capital ahead of schedule." ”

Some loyal ministers of Xuanyuan Qimo said: "Your Majesty, the Nine Emperor Princes have made such a great sacrifice for the entire country, and it is only natural that the journey should be accelerated." ”

The ministers on Xuanyuan Qiye and Xuanyuan Qiyou's side said: "No matter what, the Nine Emperor Princes still returned to the capital ahead of schedule, and the Nine Emperor Princes have made great contributions on the battlefield, but the emperor's words can't be regarded as a gimmick." ”

These ministers were very embarrassed by the emperor, and the emperor did not punish him, nor did he punish him, so Xuanyuan Qimo said to himself: "Father, is it wrong for the sons to return to Beijing early, and ask the father to punish him." ”

Many ministers in the court were very unbearable to see Xuanyuan Qimo like this, and some generals who had followed Xuanyuan Qimo for many years also knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, we also returned to Beijing with the Nine Emperor Princes, even punish us together!" ”

Xuanyuan Qijun also knelt next to Xuanyuan Qimo, "Father, Erchen also came back with Brother Jiu, let's punish Erchen together." ”

Xuanyuan Qiye and Xuanyuan Qiyou saw that the situation was not very optimistic, and it was not the same as they thought.

"Smack."

The emperor slapped his palm on the dragon chair.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Son, minister, don't dare."

Xuanyuan Qimo himself didn't want the ministers and Xuanyuan Qijun to be punished with him, "Father, you don't have to worry about them, just punish your sons." ”

"Don't care, you say you don't care, you can leave it alone? They are all already kneeling in front of me, can I ignore their feelings? "The emperor has finally started a fire.

Xuanyuan Qiye and Xuanyuan Qiyou were satisfied.

Xuanyuan Qi Mo got up and said to the minister who was kneeling on the ground: "Qi Mo has thanked you here, but this matter needs to be borne by Qi Mo himself, so please get up." ”

The ministers saw that Xuanyuan Qimo had reached this level, so they all stood up.

Xuanyuan Qimo went to Xuanyuan Qijun again and said, "Thirteen, get up, Brother Nine will be fine, obedient." ”

After talking for a long time, Xuanyuan Qijun just didn't get up, "Brother Jiu, I will receive the punishment with you." ”
