At night, in the regent palace, Huo Yan got the news that King Rui had set up camp ten miles outside the city, and he and his deputy rushed to the capital.

"Where is King Rui now?" Huo Yan reviewed the official document in his hand and asked.

"Back to the prince, according to the report from the spies, King Rui has almost entered the capital at this time, and he should find a post station to live in, and prepare to meet the emperor tomorrow." The government soldiers responded honestly.

actually only brought the deputy general, what kind of idea did this vassal king have? Huo Yan made proper arrangements to protect the safety of Emperor Zhao.

Zhao Xuancheng knew that his father had entered Beijing, and rushed out despite the palace ban, beating the interceptors along the way, as if the palace was a place where he could come and go at will, and this matter reached Emperor Zhao, which made him very dissatisfied.

"What do the Zhao family's father and daughter really think of me!" Huo Ze threw the fold in his hand to the ground, already angry.

Su Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the fold and gently put it on the bookcase.

"King Rui is rampant, even with the county lord does not understand the rules, now that they have entered the capital, it is the foot of the world, the wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of floating corpses and thousands of miles of blood, if they still don't know how to restrain, Your Majesty will punish the crime again." Su Xiang persuaded, trying to make Huo Ze discourage.

Huo Zehe didn't have this thought, but King Rui entered Beijing this time, and actually placed 100,000 soldiers and horses ten miles away, what kind of intention is this, needless to say, although the emperor has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but it will take some time to disperse and mobilize, if King Rui is really ruthless to seize the throne one day, he can't resist it at present.

Su Xiang also saw Huo Ze's thoughts, at present, only the three of the Yue family can fight a big war in Beijing, after all, Yue Jiang is old, the more reckless, and the only one who can really compete with King Rui is Yue Xun, but the first emperor took back the soldiers and horses of the Yue family, and snubbed the Yue family, and now there is a need to reuse them, it is too powerful.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Yue family has made many meritorious contributions recently, can the military rights deprived before be reconsidered?" Su Xiang boldly put forward his opinion.

After Huo Ze weighed the pros and cons, he finally agreed, but he didn't dare to give more military power, and only left 100,000 that could compete with King Rui.

In the Beijing Station, King Rui sat on the couch and drank a lot of wine, and suddenly the door was opened, Zhao Xuancheng rushed in happily, threw himself into Rui Xiang's arms, and called: "Father! ”

Seeing Zhao Xuancheng, King Rui's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to hug him, "Good daughter, why did you come out so late?" My father said that I would see you tomorrow morning, you child. "It seems to be a blame, but in fact it is spoiled.

Zhao Xuancheng shook King Rui's hand coquettishly, and said, "My daughter misses you, people finally came out, are you blaming me?" ”

King Rui ate this set and hurriedly coaxed: "It's not strange, it's not strange, it's just that this palace doesn't have a palace ban, how did you get out?" ”

Zhao Xuancheng was angry when she said this, she crossed her hands and complained with her hands: "What else do you say!" My daughter wanted to leave the palace, but they refused to let me, so I had to beat them to the point to see who dared to stop me! ”

King Rui frowned when he heard this, but quickly smiled instead, since everything has been done, it is useless to say anything, with him by his side, what can those people in the palace do with him, but he still instructed a few words on the surface: "Don't be so reckless in the future, after all, I am the king of the domain, and I still eat the money that their Huo family rewarded." ”

"Got it."

Seeing that his daughter agreed, King Rui also revealed the matter, looked at his daughter who had not been seen for a long time in front of him and said, "Why, I have been in the capital for so many days, what is so funny?" What does your sweetheart mean to you? ”

The second half of the sentence is what King Rui wants to care about, he knows that Xuancheng has always had a soft spot for Yue Xun, and he could stop him before, but Xuancheng insisted so much, so he went with her.

"Where is there anything interesting in the capital, I am not familiar with this place, and I am about to suffocate to death in the palace all day long." Zhao Xuancheng was a little aggrieved as he spoke, "Brother Xingzhi now loves his businessman-born wife wholeheartedly, and he doesn't take me seriously!" Father blames you! If it weren't for you, I would have married Xingzhi's brother as a wife. ”

"Oh? And what's going on? King Rui was a little shocked, he thought that Yue Xun's wife was just arranged by the Yue family, but he didn't expect him to be in love.

At first, King Rui wanted to marry Xuancheng to a fiefdom family or a general who had followed him for a long time, as long as he was under his nose, these people didn't dare to be disrespectful to Xuancheng at all, but Xuancheng couldn't look down on it, and he was worried about Yue Xun, so he forcibly delayed his marriage again and again, and then King Rui went with her.

When he heard the news of Yue Xun's marriage, he told Xuancheng for the first time, but he didn't expect Xuancheng to still not give up, Yue Xun he had seen, it was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and he also intended to match the two at the beginning, but after Yue Xun's accident, he was determined not to let Xuancheng jump into this fire pit, but he didn't expect Yue Xun to have a big life, and now he has something to do.

"Yue Xun is married, Xuan'er, you can choose another good partner." King Rui tried to persuade.

Zhao Xuancheng felt aggrieved and cried on the table: "I don't, I want to be Xingzhi's brother, if I don't marry Xingzhi's brother, I'll be like this in my life." ”

King Rui was most afraid that she would cry, so he hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, good, my father will help you think of a child, don't cry." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xuancheng got up and wiped his tears.

"Really, just listen to you, Yue Xun and his wife have a very close relationship, if they let the two of them reconcile, I'm afraid it's unlikely."

Zhao Xuancheng bit his lip aggrievedly, and said as if giving in: "Then reluctantly let her be a concubine, just let her live farther away, so as not to delay me and my brother Xingzhi." ”

King Rui sighed faintly in his heart, you are a concubine, then Yue Xun doesn't have to be, let alone let her be a concubine, take everything step by step, and stabilize Xuancheng first.

The next day, King Rui took out the court clothes that he had not worn for a long time and rushed to the palace early in the morning.

"Minister Zhao Yuan visits the emperor." King Rui bowed his hand, but did not bow down.

The courtiers talked a lot, and even Huo Ze's face changed.

"King Rui hasn't been to the capital for a long time, so he must have forgotten the number of etiquette, and he has to bow down when he sees the emperor." Master Fu stood up and reminded.

When King Rui heard this, he first glared at him, and then said in embarrassment: "The minister has been traveling for a long time recently and injured his knee, this kneeling ceremony ......"

Huo Ze said with a soft face: "It's okay, it stands to reason that I still have to call King Rui to call the emperor's uncle, the elders are sick, how can they be reluctant, just avoid it." ”

"Emperor Xie!" King Rui thanked him loudly, although he didn't plan to kneel, even the first emperor didn't dare to ask him to kneel, why did he, a new emperor who had not dried up, order him.

"I heard that King Rui entered Beijing this time, and he actually stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses outside, I don't know what the purpose is?" Master Bo asked.

King Rui looked at Huo Ze's inquiring eyes and explained: "I happened to come to Beijing to meet the new emperor this time, and I thought that I hadn't trained soldiers for a long time, so I took it out for training. ”

"It's good for the emperor to train soldiers, but in the future, he still chooses to stay away from the capital, so as not to be accused of a bad crime." Huo Ze said half-warningly.

Rui Wang smiled and agreed.

"I wonder how long King Rui plans to stay in the capital?" Huo Yan took the opportunity to speak.

Only then did King Rui notice Huo Yan, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the person in front of him, and looked at the python robe on his body and probably guessed that this was the regent.

"I just arrived in the capital, and the regent is in a hurry to catch up with the guests?"

"How dare you, it's just that the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without authorization, and the prince has already violated it; The next thing is not to stay near the capital for a long time, the prince should know. Huo Yan said the rules left by his ancestors.

King Rui said perfunctorily: "Weichen knows, it's just that Xuancheng and her marriage have not been settled, I see that there is no suitable young talent in the fiefdom, so I want to go to the capital to find a family to marry her, the emperor will not allow it." ”

"The marriage of the county lord is naturally important, why don't I make an order to come to a colorful building to recruit relatives?" Hozer suggested.

King Rui hurriedly refused: "This is not to bother the emperor, Xuancheng has a strong temperament, he has to find Lang Jun by himself, how dare he intervene as a father, it is just a palm." ”

The ministers don't know where in their hearts, the county lord has a strong temperament, what kind of excuse is this, no one knows who is the people of the whole Li country, this Xuancheng county lord has a heart all on General Yue, General Yue now has a wife, King Rui takes the county lord's marriage as an excuse, it is nothing more than delaying and not returning to the fiefdom.

"Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, King Rui can stay, but this army." Huo Yan helped Huo Ze say what was in his heart.

King Rui also knew that since they had given in, he would accept it when he saw it, so he promised: "I will retreat the army back for another twenty miles, please rest assured." ”

Huo Ze knew that this was already King Rui's biggest concession, so he also said: "Then let's do it, retreat from the dynasty." ”

"Qianqiu Hall has set up a reception banquet for King Rui, King Rui invites it." Huo Ze walked up to King Rui and said.

"The emperor is polite." King Rui followed Huo Ze, and the uncle and nephew chatted with each other.

The capital seems to be peaceful, but on the contrary, there is a problem on the part of the Xiongnu.

"What's wrong?"

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Rou Yun was a little confused.

"Something is wrong ahead, there seem to be a lot of people in black." Cui Changshu said with a rare seriousness.

Yue Xun secretly looked ahead from the side, and there was indeed a team of people and horses, which didn't look like a good stubble.

"Detour." Yue Xun lowered the curtain.

Cui Changshu turned the horse's head to face the other way, and the group of black-clothed people saw this and chased after him.

"Chased after me." Cui Changshu said as he paid attention to the situation behind him.

The man in black pulled away and threw darts at the carriage.

Yue Xun protected Rou Yun behind him, ordered Cui Changshu to find a cover to stop the carriage, then settled Rou Yun, picked up the long sword and flew away.

Cui Changshu tied up the carriage and followed.

As a result, the sound of weapons fighting outside was endless, and Rou Yun pulled out the hairpin and stared around vigilantly.

The Man in Black was no match for the two of them, and was quickly defeated.

"Let's go!" The leader of the men in black ordered his men.

Cui Changshu wanted to chase but was stopped.

"Just let them go? They are no match at all, so why not catch up and figure out the situation. ”

Yue Xun stopped: "This is the territory of the Xiongnu, if there is a trap, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Cui Changshu thought about it reasonably, so he had to give up. ”
