Chapter 158: Inquiry
Let him think about the situation of the day, it is all another heavy hammer on his already broken heart. The old prince sighed and said, "Well, you are all loyal people, but there are already spies in this city. ”
"Now go and give me all the people to check carefully, and if there is anything wrong, come back to me immediately."
"Yes, old prince." Liu Shen will lead everyone to retreat, and Xia Jingrui will nest in the stool and refuse to look up.
Burying his face deep in his knees, the old prince squatted down in front of him, stroked his head lovingly, and said, "Cry! It's good to cry out, and let's take revenge. ”
"In the future, if you don't come, I will send you to join the army, and in the future, I will go to the capital with my grandfather, and my descendants of the Xia family will not do it for a lifetime."
"Why do you want the descendants of my Xia family to take their lives to defend the border of the Qixia Dynasty, after so many years, it's time to change people."
Hearing his grandfather say this, Xia Jingrui threw himself into the arms of the old prince like a child at this time.
"Cry, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place."
"Now that you have grandpa as your Optimus Prime, you can be free."
In the capital, the emperor received the military information from Fengyuan.
He opened it and looked at it, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he looked at his temperament for a long time without saying a word, and Fu'an on the side squeaked in his heart, worried that something had happened to the old prince.
So he stepped forward to add tea for the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this tea is cold, so the servant will go and change another cup for you." ”
"The weather is getting warmer and warmer, but you can't drink too much herbal tea, for fear of hurting your body."
The Emperor said, "Go ahead," and at the end he slowly placed the letter with the military information on it on the table.
Fu'an risked the world's disapproval, and squinted his eyes and secretly glanced at it.
only saw the last sentence, and the old prince implored the saint to take back Xia Jingrui's military position and let him return to the capital and be a rich and noble man.
I didn't see anything written before.
Fu An looked at the letter and did not understand why Lao Wang wanted to go to his grandson's official position.
You must know that at the moment, as long as there is no more war in Fengyuan, even if the thieves are beaten away, it will be a matter of time before General Xiao Xia is promoted.
But the old prince, this is clearly giving up the fierce and monstrous wealth!
Besides, even if they want to, can there be a second person in this dynasty who can take on this important task?
After all, General Xia has been rooted in Fengyuan for many years, up and down, even the people of Chengdu only know General Xia, not the emperor!
Now, this old grandfather Wang has a letter, I don't know whether it is good or bad, Fu'an thought while thinking, but his subordinates did not delay at all, made a cup of hot tea, and put it in front of the emperor's table to receive it.
"Your Majesty, this tea is eight points hot, just ready to eat, the fragrance of the tea is still there, you can taste it."
The emperor silently lifted the tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "It's still the tea you make, and you know my heart best!" ”
Fu'an responded with a smile, "It's not that the slave understands the emperor's heart, it's that the emperor looks at the slave and pleases the eye." ”
"Over the years, the slave has always been favored by the emperor."
"You, the older you get, the more refined you become, and your mouth is so sweet."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you, listen to me, you feel sweet when you listen to it too much."
The emperor said, "The old prince has sent a letter, saying that the matter has been thoroughly investigated, and that the thieves have infiltrated the palace pretending to be our soldiers. ”
"I bought off the people in General Xia's mansion in advance, and I knew that Xia Jingrui had a long-life lock built by the old prince himself."
"I made an identical one, and handed it to General Xia along with a letter."
"After he saw it, he searched the house upside down, but he couldn't find Jing Rui, so he really thought that Jing Rui was taken away by a thief."
"Therefore, he led the army out of the city without hesitation, and then his wife died with him on the frontier in order to save him."
"It's just that where did this thief get the news, and the long-lived lock that he knows, the old prince said, has not been found out yet, and after he finds out, he will naturally tell me."
"It's just that he keeps saying that General Xia has been fighting for the country for many years, and now his soul has returned to the frontier."
"For the sake of his Xia family's merits, let him, the only eldest grandson, return to the capital and slant down all official positions."
"I think about it, I don't know if I should agree with him."
Lieutenant General Fu'an has completed the emperor's sentence, or should it be dismissed?
He hoped to keep Xia Jingrui to continue to fight for the frontier, after all, he was more familiar with the sudden pout, and if anyone took over, he would not necessarily do a better job than him.
But if Xia Jingrui was really left in Fengyuan, he would also be uneasy.
After all, before Xia Qingqing was born, Xia Jingrui was the treasure of the old prince's palm.
has always been a collection of thousands of pampered existence, since he was a child, the old prince still has high expectations for him, plus his parents are not around, even more love.
At present, the old prince himself wrote a book, crying blood word by word, imploring him to be removed from his military position, so that the old prince could take him back to his house and enjoy the joy of family, this matter could not help but be considered by the emperor again and again.
Thinking about how to support it, the emperor let out a long sigh.
said, "Forget it, it's accurate, the old prince will play it!" ”
"I want to come to Xia Jingrui after this battle, after the death of his parents, his mood will inevitably be agitated, or should he be taken back to Beijing to recuperate, if he has the heart to serve the court on the battlefield in the future."
"It's not too late, he's still young."
Fu'an saw that he didn't need to use any tricks on his own, so the emperor agreed to the old prince's request.
Immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Holy Kindness, Thank you Holy Kindness, Holy Grace, you are the most holy emperor in the past thousand years." “”
Fu'an was so happy that he couldn't help himself, and the emperor joked, "What, the grace I gave Xia Jingrui, you seem to be happier than him, I don't know, I still think that this Xia Jingrui is your grandson." ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, although it was a joke, it gave Fu'an a solid wake-up call, and he hurriedly said, "Old slave, how can I have this blessing to leave my grandson!" “
"The old slave grew up watching Young Master Jing Rui, such a tiger-headed child, growing up like this, more than eight feet tall, handsome and chic, the old slave was also happy when he saw it."
"I haven't seen Young Master Jing Rui for many years, if he comes back. The old slave really doesn't know, what kind of greeting gift should I give? ”
The emperor clearly didn't take what he just said to heart, and Fu'an also smiled and played the round and pulled the words back.
The emperor said, "You, you are begging for things with me in a different way, aren't you?" ”
And what about the greeting gift? ”
"Okay, I know that Xia Jingrui has been wronged this time, so I will naturally give him more rewards, and tell him to return to Beijing.
"I don't know if I'm idle or not, and I don't know if the old prince will let him do what he can when he comes back."
"Anyway, let's just look at Fengyuan's matter, how to deal with it! And to whom should this military power be handed over? These things need to be considered in the long run! "As soon as I thought of this emperor, my head began to hurt again.
"Your Majesty, you have been thinking a lot lately."
"I have to listen to the hospital, I must, I have to worry less about it."
The Emperor said with great sorrow, "I would like to see less, and you can see which of them can save me a snack." Who can? ”
Your Majesty, this is simply a heart-wrenching argument, and he doesn't dare to answer again, after all, the eldest prince and the second prince have been secretly competing recently because of military power.
As the king of a country, the emperor has extremely strict control over the affairs of the court, so he has naturally already noticed this turmoil.
Therefore, these two princes have filial piety to him, but this is obviously to take the imperial power more seriously, so how can he not be angry!
It's just that as a prince, there is nothing wrong with craving power, and because of this, the emperor can't be too obviously harsh.
If the two princes were otherwise, there would also be officials who spoke up and spoke for the two of them.
This thing is like making the emperor dumb and eating coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
Because of this incident, the two days when the eldest prince and the second prince entered the palace were all rejected by the emperor.
Stopped under the pretext of a migraine, and didn't want to see the two.
The emperor is angry and helpless, angry that he is not dead yet, and the princes below can't sit still.
They all began to study his dragon chair, and it was heartbreaking that he was born in the royal family and had no father-son relationship.
The supreme position under this heaven is really the most fascinating, so that the father and son of this heaven only have imperial power to speak of, and there is no family affection to speak of.
Finally, he remembered that when he inherited the throne, he had the old prince by his side to escort him, and a group of courtiers who supported him.
It can be said that he is the eldest son, and it is logical that he is nominally.
The people's hearts are also expected, and they got this dragon chair without accident.
And his children, he looked left and right, and everyone could find a little fault, and none of them made him feel perfect.
So, he's having a headache and frustration right now.
Thinking about taking back a little bit of the rights in their hands, but thinking that the children are so old, it's normal to have some thoughts.
Fu'an said cautiously on the side, "Your Majesty, you eat less, why don't you have a bowl of white fungus soup and sleep at night." ”
"Save yourself from feeling thirsty in the middle of the night," said the Emperor, "and then have a bowl." ”
"Okay, minion, let's go and serve, it's been warm on the stove in the imperial dining room, drink it at this time, it's just lukewarm."
"This white fungus, thanks to the Qingqing County Lord, she brought it in when she entered the palace yesterday."
"It is said that the villagers in the countryside planted it themselves, such white fungus, it tastes sweet and tastes good, much better than the ones bought on the tribute."
