At this critical juncture, it is impossible for him to do something like leaving everyone behind and running for his life.

But the old prince's kindness to him, the fourth brother's kindness to her, and the kindness of the fourth sister-in-law to her were all seen by her own eyes. Presumably, the parents who have never met also love her very much, but what can she say now?

She could only put pen to paper and wrote, "Father, mother are open-minded. Qingqing, I haven't written to you two for a long time, and I really don't know what to say to you! ”

"We and my grandfather live a stable life in the capital, all of which are based on the two of you fighting on the front line, and now, the war on the frontier has started, and the eldest uncle and aunt have died on the battlefield."

"Grandfather has an order, let the two of you try your best to unload the military power, rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and spend your old age in peace."

"Grandfather said that he didn't want our next generation of children to still fight on the battlefield, and I hope that our family can produce a scholar, and the lintel will be glorious and quiet in the future."

When she wrote this, she didn't know how to write for a while, after all, her parents had also fought on the battlefield for decades, so they let them put down their military power, and they didn't know if they were willing to do so.

It's just that the distance is so far, and it is impossible for her to get closer to a three-person relationship through a letter. She thought for a while, and then wrote, "My daughter has been missing her father and mother very much recently, and I hope that my father and mother can return to Beijing as soon as possible and share the joy of family." “

After writing the letter, she carefully dried the letterhead.

After thinking about it again and again, he took out a new piece of paper and drew a portrait, it was a family of three, and the little girl in the middle was only half as tall as a person, and she was still a little girl.

This is what she imagined a family of three to look like, she must have dried the portrait, put it in the letterhead, and when she looked up, she saw Midori passing down the corridor, "Come on, Midori!" “

Hearing this, Xiao Lu walked into the room quickly, "Master, you call me." ”

"Find a reliable and down-to-earth person to send this letter to Lin'an Mansion, where my father and mother are. Make sure my parents get the letters. ”

"Yes, Miss, I'll send someone to do it." She took the letter, turned and left.

"You wait," Xia Qingqing said again, "Call Xiaolan and the two of them, I have something to order!" ”

"Okay, Miss, I'll go."

Xiaolan and the two entered the house, Xia Qingqing said, "Now, there is such a big thing in the house, and I don't want to hide it from you, and it will spread tomorrow." ”

"Everyone will know that my eldest uncle and eldest aunt died in the frontier, and tomorrow my grandfather will raise troops to go out of Beijing to rescue my eldest brother."

"At the moment, I still have something to explain to the two of you, one of you will go to Baiyutang in the capital, and the other will go to the branch in Xuzhou."

"Inform them that in addition to the expenses needed for daily operations, all the rest of the silver will be exchanged for silver tickets, as well as all military supplies, and they will start buying them at this time."

"Tell Brother Lin Qing again, let him pretend to be a businessman, and transport it to the front line one after another, don't expose our mansion."

"Yes, Miss, I understand, I'll go and explain to them."

On the second day, the news of the death of General Xia and his wife on the Turkic border spread throughout the capital like wings.

After dinner, everyone regretted that General Xia had fought for the country for decades, and he ended up like this, and many people were inevitably conspiring theories.

Why did he go out of the city on behalf of the soldiers without authorization when there was no military emergency?

The eldest prince was leisurely drinking tea in the room, tasting flowers, and said, "Ah, the fragrance of flowers and tea, this is good." ”

The people below also flattered him, saying, "Our prince is blessed, the emperor was still a little angry with us, and now he can't care about that much." ”

"Moreover, we were also deceived by others at the beginning! The Great Prince is right! ”

"If it weren't for the damn second brother who went against me everywhere, I wouldn't have done such a wrong thing, but fortunately, the emperor didn't get too angry because of what happened at the beginning."

"Also because of General Xia's matter, the emperor is a little unwell, and now he has asked me to return to the court and participate in political affairs."

The people below also flattered him, "Yes, it can be seen that the emperor still values our master in his heart!" ”

"That's right! Our master is the eldest prince, who dares to underestimate our master without long eyes? ”

Another person also said, "Don't dare, don't dare, no one dares to underestimate us." ”

The eldest prince listened to the flattering words below, and his face couldn't help but be proud, what happened this time was enough to make him fall into the abyss.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was another war on the border, and the emperor adhered to the mentality of wanting to level a bowl of water, and recalled him to the court at this time, which can be regarded as the sky has eyes.

Avoiding this, I said reluctantly, "Even so, the old prince has already led his troops to the battle, and I should also fight for my father for the heavy responsibility of the patrol battalion in the capital." ”

"After all, the defense at the foot of the capital is the most important thing."

At this time, someone raised a voice of doubt, "Master, if we act rashly at this time, will it attract the emperor's suspicion?" ”

This person is a guest of the eldest prince, usually upright, and will not do those things that tend to be inflammatory, so he does not have much weight in the heart of the eldest prince.

These foolish villains sneered at him at this time, and said, "What do you know, if you don't compete to show yourself in front of the emperor at this time, then when will it be?" ”

"Is it possible, let the second prince snatch all the credit?"

This guest surnamed Wang, originally a son, but he fell off the list every year, and later became a teacher, and he always thought that he had great ambitions, but he had no way to report.

also by chance, he threw himself into the camp of the eldest prince. Originally, he was an extremely pedantic person, thinking that the eldest prince should be the eldest prince, and even if the second prince did a good job, he would definitely not be able to inherit the throne.

The eldest prince admired his words very much at that time, and cited him as a confidant, and later because of the righteous character of the king's surname.

Slowly, he said that he was not liked by the eldest prince and was marginalized. This time, he suddenly expressed his opinion, which immediately attracted the opposition of many people.

"You know what! Your Majesty, this is the time to buy off the border, if we stand up for the emperor to share the busy affairs of the court, take over the patrol battalion, and take all the major affairs of the country into our own hands, this emperor will definitely be more pleased. ”

The doorman surnamed Wang said, "The ancients said, the tiger can't easily enter next to the couch, this principle is the same, although the emperor is the most." is frail, but after all, he has not reached the point where he is too old to take care of the government by himself. ”

"If we rashly make a statement and arouse the emperor's suspicions, what should we do, besides, I think that the eldest prince should preside over the government as a matter of course."

"Naturally, we don't have to make those small moves, just wait quietly and the emperor can decide everything, and the affairs of imperial power should be dictated by the emperor's sacred heart."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't understand it, but the eldest prince seemed to be awakened by these words, and said, "What he said is." ”

"At this time, we should enter the palace more often to comfort our father, and we must not talk nonsense about power and government affairs, after all, our father has not yet reached the point of old age."

"It's a lot of mistakes at this time, why don't we just watch from the sidelines and wait for that damn dog to jump out on its own."

"Great Prince, Shengming!"

The eldest prince lifted his robe and said, "Okay, now I will go into the palace to see my father's body, and then bring the famous doctor we took from the countryside, and enter the palace in the name of consulting my father." ”

"Congratulations to the master."

When the eldest prince was far away, many people gritted their teeth and said to him, "Prince, you usually speak up righteously, but this time things are different from your usual style, how can you still persuade the eldest prince to act like this?" ”

"Although this time it is a bit of a rash advance, but the benefits are huge, if you retreat this time, I don't know how far the second prince will fight?"

The prince shook his head and said to them, "You fools! ”

Since this period of time, the doorman surnamed Wang has seen and heard a lot in the mansion of the eldest prince, and understands that the eldest prince is not the virtuous king he knows, and he has already had the heart to retreat.

It's just that at this juncture, if he quits rashly, he will inevitably attract death, so he has to stand still, but he can't watch the eldest prince go to a dead end.

In that case, the lives of his family would not be saved. That's why he jumped out at this time and deliberately persuaded the eldest prince.

Fortunately, he was not so confused as he was persuaded to shake his head and walk away, leaving a circle of people secretly scolding him for being troublesome.

When he returned to the door of the room surnamed Wang, he was thinking about how to get out of the house, and he thought of the changes in the court, and the depth of the situation was no longer beyond his control, and he had already retreated at this time.

But if it was usually out of tune, he thought that the eldest prince would not let him go, but if he turned his head to another prince, he shook his head again.

Thinking about the behavior of the two princes who had seen at the palace banquet and the rumors. The second prince's moody personality retreated, and he really didn't want to serve a moody monarch anymore.

He thought about what to do, after all, if he switched to a useless gentleman and couldn't fight with the eldest prince, it would be in vain.

After thinking hard, he formed a solution in his heart, but the time and place are right, these three elements are indispensable, and he needs to be more patient, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The eldest prince brought the divine doctor invited from the people and entered the palace in a hurry.

"Erchen see his father," said the eldest prince, kneeling on the ground, "This is a miracle doctor invited by Erchen from the people for his father, who specially treated his father for migraines." ”

The emperor was lying on the couch sickly, half of his body was leaning on the table behind him, he pulled a smile on his face, and said, "The emperor has a heart." ”
