Chapter 58: Former Prince Zhaojin 1
Not long after Xiang Ju'an woke up, he was about to get up and go to the palace to report the situation in the east to Emperor Shu.
Because he still had an injury on his leg, he couldn't walk, so he could only be pushed to the palace by someone in a wheelchair.
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian naturally couldn't rest assured, and took the initiative to ask to accompany him into the palace, but Xiang Ju'an was unwilling, saying that Jiang Yingnian was also injured, so there was no need to run around, as for Guan Jiyu, it was rare to come back to rest, so there was really no need to bother to accompany him everywhere.
Xiang Ju'an is stubborn and stubborn, and what he says, others have no way to refute it, so they can only let him go.
Xiang Ju'an entered the palace gate, his face began to gradually become solemn, and every time he was about to step into this Yihua Palace, his chest was like a boulder pressed against him, making him breathless.
When the palace people saw Xiang Ju'an coming, they invited him to enter soon after the transmission. Shu Di was inside, teasing a canary in the cage, the canary was petite and happy, and Shu Di had a lot of fun.
"Your Majesty, the minister's leg is injured, and it is difficult for the minister to salute." Xiang Ju'an bowed his head and clenched his fists, and when Emperor Shu turned around, he said, "It's okay, the general is exempt." w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m" before he sat upright.
"Your Majesty, this time I returned to Beijing, in addition to recuperating from my injuries, the minister also wanted to enlighten Your Majesty." Xiang Ju'an said: "The number of border troops is really limited, and the minister still wants to ......"
The smile that was still on Emperor Shu's face quickly hid and said, "Xiang Aiqing, you know what I do to you. You are far away at the border to guard the gateway of Xuli for me, so to speak, you can do whatever you want, your Xiang military camp dominates one side, what did I say? Now that you have someone with me, have you ever thought that if everyone gives it to you, what will happen to my imperial city? ”
Xiang Ju'an's face turned pale for a while, and he said, "Your Majesty, how can the minister dare to dominate one side?" These four words are too heavy, what is the use of the Xiang military camp in the general's mansion, Your Majesty, don't you know? In this life, the minister just wants to guard the rivers and mountains well, that's all! ”
As soon as Xiang Ju'an opened his mouth, he felt more and more tightness in his chest, and he endured the discomfort, and his sentences were sonorous and calm.
Emperor Shu said with an uncomfortable face: "Alas, my good general, don't give me any more problems, originally last time because of the construction of the border defense in the north, it has caused He's side to be unhappy, and this time in the east, He's has stopped supporting us." ”
He looked at the caged bird beside him and said, "How much ability can I have, I took over this position from my father, I just want to firmly grasp this country...... It's not easy for me! ”
Xiang Ju'an said: "The minister doesn't dare to talk about politics in vain, he just asks His Majesty to see the situation clearly, and don't let me be manipulated by others!" Since there is a change in the attitude of the Helu Fang, then we should be vigilant instead of letting it develop, Your Majesty, they are good at forging, but think about it, most of the raw materials they forge are reclaimed and excavated from the land of our Xuli. If they are unwilling to support, then we can also "cold treatment" them in terms of mineral materials. ”
As soon as Xiang Ju'an's words came out, Emperor Shu's eyes widened, and Emperor Shu seemed to have heard something terrible, so he waved his hand again and again: "General, this matter is big, it's not that you and I can casually say sanctions can be sanctioned, after all, since the time of the first emperor, we have always been friendly with the Heqiliu Kingdom...... " He looked at Xiang Ju'an in embarrassment, and said: "This kind of face-tearing thing, I'm afraid it's best not to do it...... In short, we must not tear our faces first. ”
Xiang Ju'an opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but was hurriedly interrupted by Emperor Shu: "The general's injury needs to be well healed, don't talk about these things first, if there is any problem, we will discuss it in the future, and we will discuss it in the future." ”
After that, Emperor Shu looked like he was hurt again, rubbed his temples painfully, and said that the dragon was unwell and needed to rest.
Xiang Ju'an sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to withdraw from Yihua Palace.
As soon as he left the palace gate with a heavy heart, he met the same person in a wheelchair.
The person in the wheelchair shook the paper fan lightly and said softly: "Who should I be, why haven't I seen our famous general for a long time, and he is in a wheelchair like a waste person like me?" ”
Xiang Ju'an raised his head and said calmly: "I've seen the six princes." ”
King Ying closed the fan in his hand, looked Xiang Ju'an up and down, and said with a light smile: "The general is used to fighting on the battlefield, and he is in a wheelchair coldly, and even I am anxious for the general when I see it, and I can't wait to dedicate my legs to the general." ”
He gently stroked his legs covered by the blanket and said, "It's a pity, I have a heart." (More exciting on the next page!) )
The surplus is insufficient. ”
Xiang Ju'an still said with an unchanged face: "The minister doesn't need anyone's legs to use it, it's just that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and he is injured on his leg and can't walk for the time being." ”.br>
King Ying stretched out his hand and turned the wheel under him, turning the wheelchair closer to Xiang Ju'an, and said, "It's just a pity that the general has a sincere heart, but some people don't know how to cherish it." If it were me, if someone could assist him as hard as the general, I would have given him a golden wheelchair and pushed him myself. ”
Seeing that Xiang Ju'an's face turned from normal to heavy, King Ying smiled as if he had succeeded, and his young face was full of cunning.
He stretched out his white neck, leaned to Xiang Ju'an's ear, and said, "But think about it carefully, this world is not my world anymore, it is there, and it has nothing to do with me if it is not there, what do I care about it?" ”
Xiang Ju'an's face finally turned pale, he stared at King Ying, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Jin, pay attention when you speak, this is not the place for you to talk nonsense. ”
King Ying plucked out his ears and blinked: "Hmm~ It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me by my name, and I almost forgot these two words." ”
Xiang Ju'an sat down and said, "The prince must have something important to enter the palace, so the minister will not disturb the prince first." w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m He raised his hand, and the subordinate who followed behind was about to push the wheelchair away, but he didn't want to be stopped by King Ying.
"Xiang Ju'an!" King Ying finally put away the smile on his face, his voice was a little more annoyed, and said, "Do you also dislike me as a waster?" Now even you don't want to say a word to me? ”
Xiang Ju'an's face regained calm, and he said calmly: "What qualifications does the minister have to dislike you?" ”
After speaking, he motioned to his subordinates to push him to continue walking, but King Ying didn't hesitate to reach out and pull his sleeve, and said unwillingly: "You still say that you don't dislike it, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Do you mean to avoid me? ”
King Ying was so out of shape that even Xia Mingzhong, who was standing behind him without saying a word, couldn't help frowning, and wanted to persuade his master in a low voice: "Lord Wang......"
At this moment, in addition to wearing the royal family's unique gold-edged clothes, where is there still half of the royal blood's arrogance.
King Ying was emotional, and his originally pale face had begun to flush slightly, not only his face and neck, but even his eye sockets were also dyed red.
"Everyone in this world can abandon me." King Ying said softly: "Only you, Xiang Ju'an, you are not qualified to avoid me." ”
Xiang Ju'an clenched his fists, and his bones made a sound, but he still maintained that calm look, and said indifferently: "Zhao Jin, wake up, this world has changed, no matter what you do, this is something that cannot be changed." ”
He looked directly at King Ying with his eyes, and said: "Also, I, Xiang Ju'an, am not far away from anyone, I only recognize the monarch of Xuli, and only the land of Xuli, because in my life, I have only one mission, which is to assist the monarch and guard the rivers and mountains." ”
King Ying shook his head and said, "But that's what you told me before, didn't you?" You also told me that you would help me well......"
"Enough!" Xiang Ju'an interrupted him sharply, his eyes were terrifyingly cold, and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" Here you also dare to talk nonsense! Listen to what you yourself say, which word is not going to lose your head?! ”
King Ying really raised his head, looked at the imperial city carefully, and asked rhetorically, "What?" This is it, but it's just a corner of the palace wall, is it something remarkable? ”
He suddenly laughed twice, hooked the corners of his lips and said: "If you lose your head, you will lose your head, anyway, I don't want to live for a long time, he Shu Di will kill me if he has the ability!" He almost frantically said, "What about you, General?" Do you dare to die with me? ”
Xiang Ju'an looked at him helplessly and said quietly: "You are crazy, you are completely crazy." ”
King Ying's hand was still holding Xiang Ju'an's sleeve, Xiang Ju'an broke his hand with all his strength, and said coldly: "If you want to die, you will die yourself, I will never die with you." I, Xiang Ju'an, will only die for the country, and will never die like this. ”
After saying that, Xiang Ju'an didn't care about shouting for the people behind him to push him, he pushed the wheels and turned them around, and left with difficulty.
King Ying looked at Xiang Ju'an's distant back, looked at it for a long time, and then said lightly to Xia Mingzhong: "Look at him, how did he become so annoying." ”
Xia Mingzhong didn't respond to him. (More exciting on the next page!) )
In a word, he only silently pushed him to turn around and continue to walk towards the palace.
As soon as Xiang Ju'an entered the gate of Fuzhong, it began to rain in the sky.
He had no appetite to eat, but felt that his legs were sore, so he ordered his subordinates to push him back to the room to rest.
Xiang Ju'an's legs were a little rheumatic in his early years, and his legs were sore every time it rained.
The servants waited for him to lie down and folded the quilt for him before going out. Xiang Ju'an closed his eyes, and his mind was full of the words that King Ying had just shouted to him out of control: Xiang Ju'an, you are not qualified to avoid me!
Xiang Ju'an was so full of thoughts for a while that he couldn't fall asleep.
He is not a person who likes to remember the past, what happened in the past is in the past, and there is no point in recalling it.
But at this moment, Xiang Ju'an couldn't help but think about the past.
Xiang Ju'an recalled the years before Emperor Shu ascended the throne.
In fact, everyone in the Xuli Dynasty knows that the current Shu Emperor is not the prince established by the first emperor when he was alive.
The prince has another person, who is the former prince Zhaojin, who was deeply valued by the emperor at that time and had unlimited scenery.
There are not many children of the first emperor, most of them are princesses, and there are few princes under their knees, only the fifth prince Zhaoshu and the sixth prince Zhaojin. Zhao Shu and Zhao Jin were not born to the same mother, and neither was born to the queen of the Middle Palace. The queen of the middle palace could not afford to be sick for a long time, and there was no hope of giving birth to a son-in-law, and the first emperor was old, so he advocated that he should be virtuous and not long, and chose the most intelligent sixth prince Zhao Jin as the crown prince.
At that time, Zhao Jin was full of youthful spirit, his father was important, and he was angry, and whenever he met the ministers of the court, he did not have the slightest command as a prince, and he was always polite and humble in his words.
Xiang Ju'an had just entered the military camp at that time, and when he was a military minister, he could always meet Zhao Jin, who was an observer.
The ministers of the court and the central government were all very old, only Xiang Ju'an was alone, a few years older than Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin had already been allowed to try to assist the first emperor in handling the government at that time. Every time Xiang Ju'an just came out of the main hall, Zhao Jin would hurry up and follow.
"General Xiang stays."
Xiang Ju'an's martial arts practice was a big step, Zhao Jin held the scroll in his arms, and he ran sweaty profusely to catch up, wanting to ask him about the affairs of the army.
Xiang Ju'an looked at Zhao Jin with a smile and said, "I'm just a fourth-grade general, what about the several people above me, you don't want to ask, but you want to ask me?" ”。
