Chapter 144: Comforting the Crowd
"Over the years, I have been happy with the family of three at the border, and I have never heard of a falling out in their family."
"Even if General Xiao Xia wants to kill the killer, I'm afraid there must be a reason, but I have never heard of it before, and I see that the information is not true."
"Your Majesty, if you still have concerns, it is better to send someone to inform the old prince of this matter, so that he can know and see what he has to say."
The emperor was worried, "If you tell Brother Wang about it at this time, I'm afraid he will be more worried." ”
"That's it, let's press this down in advance, don't mention it!"
"That Xia Jingrui grew up in front of him since he was a child, and I also watched him grow up, I believe that he will not do such a wolf-hearted thing."
"There must be a hidden story in this matter, send a team of Jin Wuwei to investigate it secretly."
Fu'an was overjoyed, knowing that General Xiao Xia's life was saved at the moment, otherwise the emperor would not necessarily do anything under the anger of the thunder.
Even if there is an old prince in front of him to block the knife, it is inevitable that he will be affected by the storm.
"Yes, the slave obeys the order, and this will go to pass on the leader of Jin Wuwei."
The emperor said, "That's it, you can go." ”
And Master Puhua had already retreated to the side hall when the emperor was discussing military affairs with Prince Jing.
The emperor walked to the edge of the sky, took a deep breath, opened the door of the hall, and saw Master Puhua sitting on the ground meditating.
"Amitabha, see the emperor."
Master Puhua slowly opened his eyes and said, the emperor seemed to be ten years old in an instant at this time, and said to him worriedly.
"Master Puhua, have you and Qin Tianjian detected anything recently?"
"Is my country really going to be in chaos?"
"Can I still do this throne?"
Under this series of blows, the emperor was already a little unstable, and Master Puhua hurriedly comforted.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic army is approaching the border of our army, but there is no major chaos at the moment. General Xia and his wife died on the battlefield, and this battle can be regarded as a wake-up call for those Turkic thieves. ”
"I am a big country in Qixia, a great dynasty, capable people, will not open the country because of the departure of one or two generals, bow down to them, even if they want to come to fight the autumn wind at this time, they have to weigh their own catties."
"Let's see if we can withstand our thunderous wrath, besides, this General Xia died in the border battle, he has ruled the border for so many years, and he has already practiced everything proficiently, even if he leaves suddenly, his subordinates must have been fully prepared at this time."
"Right now, I'm waiting for the imperial court to send troops to the rescue," the emperor nodded and said worriedly.
"Well, let's hope so!"
"Master Puhua, didn't you and An Tiemin really come up with anything?" The emperor asked unrelentingly.
Master Puhua once again chanted the Buddha, "Amitabha, the heavens have eyes, your emperor, you don't have to worry, tonight is the full moon, An Tiemin and I will go up to the stargazing platform again to check the stars, and I think we will be able to report to you the stargazing situation early tomorrow morning." ”
The emperor looked solemn and said, "Okay, the ministers will listen to the official history of Master Puhua and Qin Tianjian and report good news to me," Master Puhua got up and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, let's rest early." ”
After saying that, he bowed and slowly left the hall, the emperor looked at his distant back, his head was covered with green tendons, and the fist in his hand was clenched tightly, he didn't know who to trust now, or who not to believe.
The rare Phoenix Daughter of Destiny has appeared, but it is in the capital, and it is just a matter of not being able to find it for a long time.
Now, there is such a war on the border, although he said that he was willing to believe General Xiao Xia, but he couldn't help but ask in his heart, could it be a Turk!
Did he really promise him ten thousand taels of gold, or the wealth that poured into the sky, so that he was willing to set a trap and kill his parents with his own hands?
He was really at war with heaven and man in his heart, and at this time, Grandpa Jing rode back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he said to his subordinates, "From now on, the door will be closed, and the main gate will not be opened again." ”
The subordinate just wanted to ask the question, but when he saw the old prince's solemn face, he immediately swallowed it back and promised, "The little one understands, and the little one is going to close the door of the mansion now." ”
The hundred-year-old prestige of the General's Mansion has to have ten small servants, five people on the left and five people on the right to close the door.
With the click of wood falling, the old prince put his heart back in his stomach.
immediately walked to Xia Qingqing's yard, and as he walked, he said, "Go and invite the fourth young master, and the fourth young grandmother, to the courtyard." ”
"Yes, small, understood."
The old prince strode forward, and at this time, Xia Qingqing was bored eating grapes in the room, "This grapes are really delicious, and there are no seeds yet." ”
Xia Qingqing said to the two, "Xiaolan, Xiaolu, you two also come to taste it!" ”
Xiao Lu said jokingly, "Master, you eat and sleep more every day, and you are not afraid of losing your body!" ”
Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "What's the matter, are you worried that I will become a big fat man?" ”
"Could it be that he is the master of the big fat man? You don't want it? ”
Xiao Lu hurriedly said, "Master, look at what you said, it's obviously dinner, and you've eaten a lot of grapes at this time, so be careful that you can't sleep at night." ”
Xia Qingqing was going to have a match with her, only to hear someone outside say, "Miss, the old prince is here." ”
Xia Qingqing immediately jumped off the bed, walked to the table, sat down and said, "Please come in," the old prince walked in at this time without a smile on his face.
Xia Qingqing was also stunned in place, and said questioningly, "Grandfather, is something wrong?" ”
The old prince nodded and said, "You guys go down first and bring the fourth young master in." ”
As soon as a few little maids saw that the master had something important to discuss, they immediately walked out.
Xia Qingqing walked to the table, quickly poured a cup of tea for the old prince, and said, "Grandfather, even if there is a big thing, let's talk slowly, drink a cup of tea first." ”
After a cup of tea, the old prince looked at her and said, "You have been raised in this capital since you were born, and you have never been to the border, the bitter cold land, and I can't let you go right now." ”
"But!"
Qingqing didn't understand why he mentioned this again, what did you mean by this, grandfather? Even if the border is going to change houses, it's not time at this time, is the fourth brother going? ”
She had a happy look on her face, "If the fourth brother goes, will he be able to exchange the eldest uncle and aunt, as well as the eldest brother?" ”
"I haven't seen them in a long time," too, since she woke up in this body, she hadn't seen her aunt's family.
The old prince nodded and said, "I'll tell you in detail about this matter later." As the two were talking, there was another knock on the door, "Grandfather, Yuan'er and I are here." ”
"Come in," After a few people sat down, the old prince told everything about everything, Xia Jinghong was so angry that he crushed the teacup in his hand, and the blood that couldn't stop flowing out of his fingers.
Lin Yuan'er's face was also full of solemnity, and Xia Qingqing couldn't believe it and asked, "How is this possible?" ”
"Let's not talk about it, uncle, aunt, they have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how could they fall into this trap! Besides, there's still a big brother here, how can it be? How can this matter reach the point of no return? ”
The old prince continued, "At present, only I lead the troops and go to guard the border pass before I can explain to the emperor. ”
"Your eldest uncle rashly led the troops to the battle, and your eldest aunt went to the rescue, but your eldest brother did not show up in this battle from beginning to end, and now the two of them have died in battle."
Speaking of this, "I," the old prince was in tears, and he also felt sorry for his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, but at this time, someone had to stand up and settle the matter.
Even if the sky falls, he has to find a way to make up for the sky, and he has to make up for the day.
"Speaking of which, it must be inseparable from your eldest brother. I have entered the palace and met the Holy One, and this is what the Holy One told me. ”
"Tomorrow the decree will be issued, and I will lead the army to the battle," said the fourth brother, "grandfather, I am willing to go with you, I am willing to go with you." ”
The grandfather responded, "No! ”
"But you can't go with me!"
"Why?"
"Why is that?"
"There is such a big thing happening right now, and you still let me stay in this capital, this is flashy, am I just willing to ask for it?"
"Why can't I fight on the battlefield like my brothers?" Xia Jinghong's neck was bruised.
The old prince looked at him lovingly and said, "Good boy, I know that you are wronged. ”
"However, how can there be a truth that is a military general, the emperor will not rest assured, only if you stay in the capital, can you calm the emperor's heart at this time!"
The old prince shook his head.
Xia Jinghong continued unrelentingly, "Grandfather, you and your eldest brother are fighting on the front line, how can I live in peace in the capital? ”
"I quietly concealed my identity, I will not let others find out, and you usually don't talk to me too much."
"Just let me stay quietly in the army, and the emperor won't find out."
"I don't have an excessively high official position, and I don't have the opportunity to enter the palace for an interview alone, as long as the emperor can't think of me, everything will be fine!"
"Take me with you, even if you think of me as a soldier or a pawn."
"No, this matter is absolutely impossible, you still have to die of this heart, right now, you take yourself as a hostage, as a way for our family to stay in the capital, and stay in the capital safely, which is the most important thing you should do now."
"Right now, our family is in a very awkward position."
"Your uncle and aunt have died on the battlefield, and our whole family is pouring out of the nest at this time, so what will the emperor's civil and military officials think?"
"These things still need to be taken into account!"
