The new year began in the sound of Xiao Jin'an's constant cannon crashing and Zhong Xing's fanatical fantasy of rebellion.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

The Son of Heaven drank too much wine, his face was a little red, and his eyes were a little confused.

He held the wine bottle, got up slowly, and staggered to the side of the king of the Northland, who didn't say a word and only cared about drinking.

"Your Majesty."

The king of the Northland was about to get up, but the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and grabbed the shoulders of the King of the Northland.

The Son of Heaven asked, "Xiao Sui, how long has it been since we sat together like this and drank?" ”

Xiao Sui's face was pale, "Your Majesty likes it, and the ministers can enter the palace every day to drink with you." ”

It's just that in that case, the Son of Heaven will have to worry about it every day.

The face of the Son of Heaven really stiffened slightly.

He laughed and asked Xiao Sui to listen to the announcement, but he knew very well in his heart that if it wasn't for a major occasion, he would never announce Xiao Sui's entry into the palace again.

Half of this country was brought down by the Xiao family's father and son, and no one knew Xiao Sui's ability better than him, he couldn't leave such a threat by his side.

Looking at the indifferent and detached look on Xiao Sui's face, the Son of Heaven sighed heavily.

Once they were brothers who talked about everything, and they were kings and ministers who could deliver life and death, but now they have to be so careful, which is really painful.

And Xiao Sui looked at the pain on the face of the Son of Heaven, but he only felt ironic.

The Son of Heaven took a sip of wine, looked down and saw Xiao Sui's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then said casually: "Did Xiao Jian have a letter?" Nothing is going on in the Northlands, right? ”

Xiao Sui looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise, "Your Majesty, the minister has been absent from the Northland for three years, and Xiao Jian has never talked to me about the military of the Northland. ”

The Son of Heaven's face froze again.

Xiao Sui didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the Son of Heaven, and he continued: "However, if there is really something big in the north, then the envoy of Chang'an should have already informed His Majesty of the news. ”

The most important thing around him and his son is the eyeliner installed by His Majesty.

The Son of Heaven's expression became more and more ugly.

In normal times, Xiao Sui will also accompany the Son of Heaven to act in a play, after all, this is the biggest hobby of the Son of Heaven since he ascended the throne.

As a courtier, he is willing to let His Majesty see the play he wants to see.

But today is different.

At the beginning of the new year, someone from the north said that his children and grandchildren had prepared special gifts for him, but the envoy in the palace was in a hurry, and he entered the palace without even seeing what the gift was.

He wanted to go back and see the surprises from the Northland.

Xiao Sui got up slowly, and when he was about to stand up, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the back, the table was overturned, and the wine and meat spilled all over his body, so he was not embarrassed.

But Xiao Sui didn't care.

He respectfully bowed to the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, the minister's youngest granddaughter has sent a gift for the minister, please ask Your Majesty to leave the palace." ”

Little granddaughter?

The Son of Heaven's expression suddenly became a little dazed.

After a while, he reacted, Xiao Sui's little granddaughter is not Jinyang's daughter?

That's his granddaughter, too.

When he was born, he was still the lord of the title.

But in the past three years, the contradiction between the court and the north has become more and more acute, and he has become more and more defensive about the Xiao family.

The child's laughter came, and the Son of Heaven turned around, and saw the queen and the ladies present, and saw his many children and grandchildren, but there was no daughter whom he loved the most but hated him the most.

What does Jinyang's daughter look like?

It should be very similar to Jinyang, right?

After a moment of silence, the Son of Heaven suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone was startled.

But he heard him say: "I'm old, I'm old, even the king of the north is not strong enough to drink, come on, send the king of the north back to his house!" ”

Xiao Sui leaned over again and bowed.

After walking out of the palace and getting into his own carriage, the old confusion on Xiao Sui's face disappeared, and he leaned on the carriage with an extremely clear expression.

Your Majesty.

You can't have it both ways.

How can you ask the courtiers you want to kill in every possible way to always have a moment of sincerity for you?

There is nothing to be afraid of dying.

He died on the battlefield I don't know how many times.

But his sons, his grandsons, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northland, they could not die with the stigma of the king's suspicion.

……

Back at the palace, Xiao Sui entered the door and asked, "What did the Northland send?" Have people entertained you? ”

"The things were placed in the prince's room, and no one touched them."

Xiao Sui strode into the room, and ordered the guards to let the messenger come to meet him.

As usual, this time I still sent a lot of meat and fruits, but with a little more spices than before.

What made Xiao Sui more interested was the new paper.

Only then did he pick up the thick pile of paper, and the things underneath were revealed, and Xiao Sui's eyes widened.

This is?

Are the words on this book really written?

When he was shocked, a thin figure walked in and knelt down on one knee, "Subordinates meet the prince!" ”

The King of the Northland came back to his senses, "Get up, nothing happened on the way, right?" ”

The man said: "I encountered some trouble, but there are people installed by the general, and my subordinates are not injured." ”

The King of the Northland smiled, "Have you seen this kind of book?" ”

The man shook his head, "My subordinates have never seen it, but the general said that the little master invented a thing that can quickly write the entire book, and if you want to learn the art of war in the future, you can buy a printed book of war, and the subordinates guessed that what the general said was this kind of book in the hands of the prince!" ”

After speaking, he reminded again, "Lord Wang, the general said, these are all foils, the most important gifts, in the box in the middle." ”

"Oh?"

When the king of the northern land heard this, he immediately put down the book in his hand and found the red box.

There was a lock on the outside of the box, and the man took out a key from his body and handed it over, and the king of the North Earth opened it and saw the figure cut out of red paper inside.

When the many figures were superimposed, it was impossible to see who was on them, but when he took out the paper cut and shone it in the candlelight, he recognized it at once.

"This is the old man?"

He muttered to himself, looked at his paper-cut portrait for a moment, and then took out the following one, which was a child wearing a fluffy dress, with big and round eyes, very smart and cute.

"This is, Ann?"

He couldn't put it down and stared at Xiao Jin'an's papercut for a long time before taking out the third papercut.

The child on this paper-cut is exactly the same as Xiao Jin'an, but the bun is different, there are some beautiful hair accessories on the hair, and the eyes are different.

"Bright and smart, wise...... Is this my little granddaughter? ”

Xiao Sui sat down and stared at Jin Yan intently, many changes in the north in the past three years flashed in his mind, and finally turned into a small figure, a cute little face.

"This is my little granddaughter!"

Xiao Sui said with relief and pride, and when he saw Xiao Jian and Princess Jinyang holding hands, he couldn't help laughing, "This little girl is also a narrow girl." ”

In the end, he dug out Xiao Jian's letter.

"Father, it's okay."
