Chapter 40 Gao Gonggong collects military power

The prince already has a plan in his heart, if the royal family hands over Xiaoli, then he will take Xiaoli away and fly away, if he is forced to marry the fourth princess, he will not agree even if he dies, he doesn't want to see the person he loves and be hurt.

In this way, Xuan Nuo thought about these things in his heart, and went to the gate of the palace to greet the messenger from the imperial city with anxiety.

"Old slave, participate in the prince." This voice is so familiar, yes, the person who came is Gao Gonggong.

It was a royal secret, and even the fourth princess didn't know, if the fourth princess knew that Gonggong Gao had come to the prince's fiefdom, how could she not follow her. The royal also has her own ideas, and she doesn't want to see her daughter unhappy.

"It turned out to be Grandpa Gao, why did you come in person? What's the big deal that you want to do it yourself?" Xuan Nuo asked tentatively, he was thinking that Gonggong Gao was here, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've been to the prince's fiefdom, and I didn't expect that this place is completely different from what the old slave saw ten years ago!"

Gao Gonggong saw that the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he had more awe for the prince in front of him, after all, the prince had real materials, even if he was a royal family, he was also responsible.

"Gonggong Gao, it's funny, this is just the duty of this king, if you don't manage this city well, it is the king's sin."

Xuan Nuo replied with a smile.

"The prince is really modest, such a scene in the city is about to catch up with the prosperity of the imperial city, and he is so modest, it is really terrifying!"

In the conversation with Xuan Nuo, Gao Gonggong felt that this prince was not a thing in the pool.

"Grandpa Gao is wonderful, but I don't know if Grandpa Gao came to my poor and cold place, is there any big deal?"

Xuan Nuo didn't want to hold a skin with Gao Gonggong anymore, he just wanted to know what the purpose of his coming here was.

"The prince is really anxious, you didn't say in advance the last time you went to visit the princess in the prison last night, will the royal family let you meet?"

Gao Gonggong said with a smile, Xuan Nuo also guessed it, Gao Gonggong's purpose for coming must be because of Xiaoli, but at this time, Xuan Nuo already knew it, and he also made the worst plan.

"Father-in-law Gao, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, we are all understanding people, and we don't need to trust the circle."

Xuan Nuo said straight to the point, this is what Gao Gonggong didn't expect, he still underestimated the usually inconspicuous prince in front of him.

In that case, the old slave also said it bluntly. The prince attacked the imperial city prison at night and took the princess away without permission, this matter is a big mistake, and it also implicates the little prince."

Xuan Nuo heard what Gonggong Gao said, implicated the little prince, and his expression became nervous.

"What, is the little prince also punished by the royal family? Does it matter if the penalty is heavy or not? How's it going?"

Seeing that the prince was so anxious about the safety of the little prince, Gao Gonggong also understood why the little prince would block such a big risk and help the prince rescue the princess.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, the little prince is already safe, but he has suffered some flesh and skin."

"The royal family has tortured Chili, he has been in poor health since he was a child, and this will cost him half his life."

Xuan Nuo said with a worried look.

Gao Gonggong hurriedly said.

"Little prince, he suffered a little, but the fourth princess quickly managed to rescue him, but he hasn't returned to the imperial city yet, and now he has changed in the royal temple."

"That's good, that's good." The stone in Xuannuo's heart was put down, otherwise he would have felt guilty.

"Thank you, Grandpa Gao, for telling me this."

"The prince is polite, I also watched the little prince grow up, so I favor him no matter how I say it."

"Then what is the purpose of Gonggong Gao's coming to this king?"

"Lord Wang, you also know that what you did before has disgraced the royal family."

When Xuan Nuo heard this, his face darkened, this matter was not his fault in the first place, and if the royal family didn't force him in this matter, he wouldn't have done such an extreme thing.

"Father-in-law Gao, others don't know about this matter, don't you know? Why am I doing that?"

"The prince is angry, the old slave knows the prince's suffering, but the royal family also wants the majesty of the royal family, in order to block the mouths of those ministers, this is not me."

Xuan Nuo heard Gao Gonggong say this, it should be a royal compromise.

"Actually, this king has also done something wrong, let's say, what does the royal family want?"

"Everyone says that the prince is smart, and the old slave seems to be right today."

"Father-in-law Gao, you don't have to praise me so much, it's better to say anything directly, I still have to deal with the affairs of the city, so that I can match my wife!"

"The prince really loves the princess very much, and the royal family doesn't have any requirements, he just wants to accept the military power."

When Xuan Nuo heard this, he was not surprised by what Gonggong Gao said, but Liu Zhongxin, who had been following the prince, couldn't help it when he heard this, he could let these people who didn't know how to lead soldiers take their brothers away!

"What, isn't it stupid that the royal family wants to take over the military power of our prince? Dare to ask if there is someone in the imperial court who knows more about leading troops to fight than our prince."

Liu Zhongxin took a step forward, and his momentum was so frightened that his father-in-law Gao took two small steps back.

"Zhongxin, don't be rude, Gonggong Gao is a person sent by the royal family."

Xuannuo said sternly.

Father-in-law Gao was frightened by Liu Zhongxin just now, so he eased his nerves, and also tidied up his clothes and said.

"Vice General Liu, this temper is really hot!"

Gao Gonggong's ability to undertide is no less than that of Donggong Niangniang.

Xuan Nuo was busy surrounding Liu Zhongxin and said.

"Father-in-law Gao, don't be like him, we are all people who lead soldiers, we are relatively rough, and we are not very good at speaking, so don't worry."

When Gonggong Gao heard Xuannuo say this, he was embarrassed to embarrass him anymore.

"Then for the sake of the prince's face, the old slave doesn't care so much."

"Xie Gao Gonggong, since Gao Gonggong is here to collect military power, I will send someone to the study to bring the military talisman."

Xuan Nuo knew in his heart that even if he didn't pay it today, he would have to hand it in sooner or later. After all, more is better than less.

But Liu Zhongxin did not agree, he felt sad for the prince, who had been guarding the city at the border all these years and had always thought about the people living and working in peace and contentment. It is also a border with enemy countries. If the prince loses his military power and there is no one in the city to guard it, if the kingdom comes against him, these people will be slaughtered for the fish and meat on the sword.

"Lord Wang, you can't hand over the military power so easily, then don't think about yourself, but also for the people in this city."

Gonggong Gao looked at the guard beside Xuan Nuo and felt that this person did not have any city government.

"I don't know what the prince thinks? Do you have to listen to the guards? ”

Gao Gonggong said with oil and vinegar on the side.

"The old slave didn't know that this dignified prince's mansion actually had to listen to a guard."

Xuan Nuo knew Liu Zhongxin's hard work, but he had to think about the overall situation.

If Gonggong Gao did not receive the military power this time, then the royal trust in him would be completely shattered. The people of this city will not have a good time in the future. It's better to obediently hand over the military power now. After this period of time, the doubts of the prince of the royal team have been reduced, after all, no one in the court will use soldiers, and this power will still return to the prince at that time.

But how could a small lieutenant think of such a deep level, in his eyes, he only wanted to work for the benefit of the prince and the people in the city.

"Zhongxin, you go down and get the twenty boards."

Xuan Nuo said sternly.

Although Zhongxin was not convinced, he still said.

"Yes, lord."

Filled with indignation, Chungshin walked out of the gate in the direction of the barracks.

Grandpa Gao looked at his departing back, smiled, and thought to himself, he was really too young.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?"

"This king will definitely send the talisman to Gonggong Gao's hands, please wait for a while."

After Xuan Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the house.

In front of the palace, only Gonggong Gao and a cadre of pedestrians were left.

The people who came and went saw that Gao Gonggong and these people were in front of the gate of the palace, and the prince didn't even let them touch the door of the palace.

The people were also sensible people, pointing fingers behind their backs.

Because in this city, the prince is a saint in their eyes. If it weren't for him, the people would not have been able to live a good life in peace and contentment.

And every time there was a famine, the prince would pay out of his own pocket to help the victims.

In this city, there are 80-year-olds and 3-year-olds. In their mouths, they can hear the good of the prince, and in this city, the prince is recognized as a good person.

Gonggong Gao saw that Xuannuo didn't want to invite him into the mansion, although he couldn't hold it on his face, he didn't get angry. After all, he is just the father-in-law next to the emperor, and Xuan Nuo is a serious prince.

"Father-in-law Gao, this prince doesn't take you seriously anymore."

One of the people who followed Gao Gonggong came upstairs and whispered in Gao Gonggong's ear.

"Shut up, chew on the root of your tongue, be careful to cut your tongue."

Gao Gonggong was already angry in his heart, and this person deliberately reminded him. Isn't this deliberately trying to get angry?

The little father-in-law immediately shut up when he heard what Father-in-law Gao said, and his face was black with fright.

In this way, Gonggong Gao stood in front of the gate of the palace for I don't know how long. The first day of the sky hanging. There were already big beads of sweat on the head of the father-in-law of Zhao.

Father-in-law Gao also knew in his heart that this was the prince, and he was deliberately embarrassing him.

But he can't help it, after all, this is someone's territory, and he can only resign himself to fate.

But fortunately, Grandpa Gao didn't say much to offend the prince just now.

Grandpa Gao had stood under the scorching sun for too long, and his body couldn't stand it anymore. He's a little old and can't stand this scorching sun.

The two little fathers-in-law behind him hurriedly supported Father-in-law Gao.

The little father-in-law who had just spoken spoke again.

"Grandpa Gao, he is obviously embarrassed by you. You know that your grandmother is not in good health, and she has made you stand under the scorching sun for so long. ”

At this time, although Gao Gonggong was very angry in his heart, he no longer had the strength to get angry, and his body was already a little prostrated under the scorching sun.

"Forget it, forget it, let's keep waiting."

Gao Gonggong said weakly.

Xuan Nuo was studying a book at this time, and he deliberately made Gonggong Gao wait for a long time at the gate in front of the mansion.

Even if you have to hand over the talisman, let them know that it is not so easy to get it.
