Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and many people in Beijing have been awake because of Xiao Huai's death.

In the court early the next morning, the various factions argued endlessly because of the increase in troops to the northwest. The attack on the country of Rouli is a great achievement, and everyone wants to get some credit from it, and some people even want to fish in troubled waters.

The ministers argued for a morning, and no result came out, and all sides were sticking to their interests. Tang Guogong went to the excerpt in advance today to participate in the early dynasty, looked at the noisy court, and then looked at the emperor who did not say a word, and suddenly felt sad.

Xiao Huai and the soldiers in the northwest were fighting bloodily, but these people did not give in for their own interests. He really wanted to cry about the emperor in the court, so that the emperor could see the good heir he chose, the good emperor he chose.

"Let's retreat from the court, and discuss the matter of increasing troops." The Emperor suddenly stood up and left.

Tang Guogong's back was a little rickety, Tang Shubai helped him up and whispered, "Father, please ask the old lady Xie to come out of the mountain." ”

Tang Guogong nodded helplessly, "Let's go to Xie Mansion." ”

The father and son went straight to Xie's house after leaving the court, and the old lady Xie seemed to know that they were coming, waiting for them outside the study. Seeing the ceremony, Tang Guogong did not beat around the bush, directly explained the intention, and finally said: "Attacking Rouli is a national plan, I hope Gong Xie will help." ”

Old lady Xie didn't take Qiao either, he listened to Tang Guogong's words and said: "Xie will not ignore the country's great plan, and Marquis Xiao is kind to my Xie family, and Xie should help him in his affairs." ”

Tang Guogong listened to his words and looked slightly stunned, before the Xie family said that the sixth child of his family had a bad relationship with Xiao Huai when he was young, he felt that the Xie family was talking. But now the Xie family said that Xiao Huai was kind to them, and it came out of the mouth of Old Lady Xie, I believe there will be no fake.

It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past three years since Xiao Huai disappeared!

"Xie originally thought that the first emperor and the emperor were both determined to capture the Rouli Kingdom, and the emperor would not hesitate to plan in this matter, but he didn't expect ....."

Old lady Xie was also deeply disappointed in the end. As long as they don't want to rebel, they also hope that the emperor of the dynasty will be a Ming monarch and that the country will be stable. But obviously, if the current emperor continues like this, the future is worrying.

Tang Guogong also sighed heavily, and then he got up and said, "Gong Xie, let's get up." ”

Old lady Xie got up and went to the palace with Tang Guogong, with the identity of the two of them, even if they didn't hand over the sign in advance, they could go directly to the palace to face the saint.

was led by the little eunuch to the imperial study, and when he entered, he saw that the prince and the eldest prince were also there. When the emperor saw that Old Lady Xie was coming, he looked slightly shocked, and then got up and said, "Why is Gong Xie here?" ”

Old lady Xie saluted the emperor, and the emperor hurriedly helped him up. Old Man Xie said: "I heard that Marquis Xiao needs to increase his troops to attack the Rouli Kingdom, and the minister can't rest assured. ”

The emperor looked clear and asked, "Duke Xie has some relationship with Zi Anke?" ”

Old lady Xie did not hide it, and said: "The minister's sixth son has traveled for many years and has not been heard from, and the minister sent people to look for it for many years but has not found it, but he was rescued by the coincidence of Marquis Xiao, so he saved his life." ”

Speaking of this, he said apologetically: "After the minister's sixth son returned home, the minister knew that Marquis Xiao was not dead, but at that time, Marquis Xiao was serving in the Rouli National Army, and his identity could not be exposed. For the safety of Marquis Xiao and the great plan of the country, Xie decided to conceal the matter and look at the emperor Haihan. ”

"I see," the emperor said suddenly, "Duke Xie should be like this, I understand." ”

Old Lady Xie arched his hand, "Emperor Xie understands." ”

The emperor waved his hand, "I am also discussing with Taifu and Jingye about sending more troops to the northwest. It is the will of the former emperor to conquer the country of Rouli, and it is also my long-cherished wish, I originally wanted to drive the expedition in person, but there were too many things involved in the expedition, so I had to give up. I just wanted to let Jingye go to the battlefield on my behalf, and let him go through the experience. ”

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and after a while, Tang Guogong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate for the eldest prince to go to the front line......

Tang Guogong 123 clearly pointed out the inappropriateness of the eldest prince and going to the front. Taifu naturally disagreed, and argued with reason, Tang Guogong was the one who did not give in, and Old Lady Xie appropriately helped Tang Guogong say a word or two, and the whole situation was unfavorable to the eldest prince and Taifu.

The emperor was unwilling, and asked people from the cabinet to come over, who knew that half of the cabinet people were on the side of Tang Guogong, half were on the side of Taifu, and there was a tug-of-war, and finally Tang Guogong won.

"Everything is according to Tang Qing's words." The emperor said with a bad face.

got what he wanted, but Tang Guogong was not very happy, and it was not a good thing to think about it no matter how he thought about it. Especially this emperor wants to save face and be careful.

"Tang Guogong, you have to plan early." Out of the palace, Old Lady Xie whispered in Tang Guogong's ear.

Tang Guogong naturally understood what he meant, but the key to the matter was Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai holds military power, if he can capture Rouli this time, his power will be even greater, and it depends on him how he plans to do it.

"Let's talk about it when the fighting stops." Tang Guo is fair.

Old Lady Xie nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

He couldn't guess what Xiao Huai would do.

The two separated, and when Tang Guogong returned to the house, he asked people to go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to call Tang Shuyi for a trip. Tang Shuyi stayed awake all night last night, firstly worried about Xiao Yuming, and secondly, thinking about the situation in the court in the future. Seeing the person from the Tang Guogong Mansion, she immediately went to the Guogong Mansion.

Entering the study, Tang Guogong told him about today's events, and then said, "I'm afraid that the emperor will attack you and the three children now." ”

Tang Shuyi had already thought of it last night, she said: "I have already sent someone to find Yuchen quickly, and asked him to go to the northwest as soon as possible." As for me and Yuzhu, I think the emperor shouldn't do too much when the war is not over. Moreover, at this time, the emperor should find something to do. ”

Tang Guogong smiled, "How to find something to do for the emperor?" ”

Tang Shuyi: "The second prince was not killed by Yuming, we all know it, and Liang Guifei also knows it." Liang Guifei worked so hard with the emperor to act, why? It's not about avenging his son. But so far, there has been no rumor, can Liang Guifei not hate? ”

Tang Guogong smiled again, "Yes, Concubine Liang can use it." In addition, several princes are useless, and it should be suggested that the emperor draft and have children. ”

Tang Shuyi laughed, "Okay, this is good." ”

The father and daughter discussed for a while, and then Tang Shuyi returned home. It just so happened that Steward Zhao, who was looking for clues in Xishan, came back.

"Any clues?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Steward Zhao shook his head, Tang Shuyi frowned, "It seems that the other party is a master!" ”

Who could it be?

Tang Shuyi felt that it was unlikely that the emperor would take action in person, after all, he was his own son. But the emperor should have known who it was and took advantage of it. If you think about it carefully, what you want the second prince to die is nothing more than the eldest prince and the third prince, and maybe the fourth prince.

But those who can do things so seamlessly are likely to be the eldest prince and the third prince. There is a prince behind the eldest prince, and there is a queen behind the third prince, and they are all scheming people.

"Let the people in the palace pay attention to Concubine Liang's movements." Tang Shuyi explained to Steward Zhao.
