Yesterday, Tang Shuyi asked people to set this location in this teahouse, the window is close to the street, and you can have an unobstructed view of the situation on the street when you turn your head, which just meets Xiao Yuzhu's wish to see her father in advance.

They waited in the teahouse for a while, the emperor's team to greet the triumphant soldiers came, there was a burst of jubilation on the street, Xiao Yuzhu lay on the window lattice and looked out, when she saw Xiao Huai not far from them, Xiao Yuzhu was so happy that she couldn't help waving her hand and calling Daddy.

The crisp sound successfully attracted many people, and naturally attracted Xiao Huai. He followed the sound and saw that the girl with a bright smile waved at him, and called Daddy, and he couldn't help but wave at the girl as well.

Xiao Yuzhu was even more happy when she saw it, turned her head and said to Tang Shuyi: "Mother, mother, Daddy has seen me, Daddy has seen me." ”

Tang Shuyi was so happy to see her, she also had a smile on her face, and her eyes also looked under the window, just in front of a pair of deep eyes. She looked stunned for a moment, and then bowed politely to the other party.

Xiao Huai didn't expect to collide with Tang Shuyi's eyes, and when he was a little at a loss, when he saw the other party bowing his head towards him, he immediately nodded, and then the two looked away, as if what happened just now had not happened.

But this is just the surface, only they know how complicated the two are inside.

"This little girl of yours is also so big." The emperor also saw Xiao Yuzhu, sighed and said to Xiao Huai: "At the palace banquet before, this child also suffered some grievances, and I really couldn't bear it, so I named her the county lord and gave her a rich place as her fief. ”

Xiao Huai heard his words and sneered in his heart. He already knew about that from the mouths of Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuchen. The emperor is still as hypocritical as ever, obviously the little girl was involved in the battle of his harem and almost lost her life, but he said lightly here that he was wronged.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said in a respectful tone: "Thank you for the grace of the emperor." ”

The emperor turned his head and glanced at him, he really couldn't guess Xiao Huai's heart, did he really not have a little rebellious heart?

He didn't believe it, Xiao Huai gave him a dismount just now. Thinking of this, he secretly hated in his heart, secretly hated how he fell to the ground in a panic at that time.

The two of them had their own thoughts along the way, and soon entered the palace. When he arrived at the court, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials below, and his heart was full of pride.

Speaking impassionedly, he said: "Xiao Huai has been lurking in the enemy camp for three years, working hard to create such a feat for my great cadre, Xiao Qing can be said to be the first meritorious hero of my great cadre. The title of Duke of Xiao Huaiguo was given. Another reward of 10,000 taels of gold, 10 acres of land ....."

The emperor's series of rewards once again expressed his favor to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai knelt down to thank him, the emperor got up and walked to Xiao Huai, bent down to help him up, "Xiao Qing is my great cadre, and your meritorious deeds will never be forgotten by the people." ”

"The minister is terrified." Xiao Huai immediately said.

"This is what Aiqing deserves."

.........

The two of them were harmonious, and the courtiers all had smiles on their faces, but everyone knew what was going on. Xiao Huai's sentence of "take it" at the gate of the city was a bright dismount.

After the emperor rewarded Xiao Huai, he began to reward other generals, and then it was lunch time, and the emperor held a banquet to entertain the soldiers in the northwest. At the banquet, everyone was staggered, and the courtiers came to Xiao Huai to congratulate him on his promotion to the Duke of Dingguo.

Xiao Huai clinked glasses with the ministers, but they all replaced wine with tea, and his explanation was: "There are still important things to deal with in a while, and I can't drink wine now." ”

As for what is important, the courtiers know very well, Taifu has been imprisoned now. It's just that everyone didn't expect that Taifu would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. And what about the Great Prince? Did the eldest prince participate in what Taifu did?

In fact, there is no need to think about it, the eldest prince has participated, after all, everything Taifu has done over the years is for the eldest prince to be able to ascend to that position. It's just to be seen if the eldest prince will admit it at that time.

The banquet also came to an end in its happy atmosphere, and the emperor took the lead in getting up, looked at Xiao Huai and said, "Xiao Aiqing and I came to the imperial study." ”

The emperor got up and walked out of the banquet hall, and Xiao Huai followed. The courtiers looked at the backs of the two, and four words flashed in their minds: "It's going to change."

Here, Xiao Huai followed the emperor into the imperial study, and after sitting down, the emperor asked Xiao Huai what was going on with Taifu's collaboration with the enemy.

Xiao Huai said: "From the correspondence between Jiang Xiuming and Lu Xinghai, the marshal of the Rouli Kingdom, it can be seen that Jiang Xiuming felt that the eldest prince had no hope of succeeding to the throne, so he wanted to use the army of the Rouli Kingdom to force the palace. And Lu Xinghai's request was to kill the minister. ”

Taifu's name is Jiang Xiuming.

The emperor listened to Xiao Huai's words, and slammed his hand into a fist on the table, "Rebels and thieves!" ”

Xiao Huai glanced at him, his face was expressionless, and said: "Lu Xinghai sent the two female spies who had been cultivated for many years to Cheng Yuquan in the form of selling themselves to bury their grandparents. Cheng Yuquan gave the two spies to the ministers under the pretext of changing horses. At that time, the minister realized that something was wrong, put the two spies in the backyard to take care of them, and gave the other party the convenience to let them steal the fake defense map.

Chen originally wanted to use a fake map to confuse the enemy army, but he didn't expect that the fake defense map of the two spies had not been sent out, and Lu Xinghai suddenly launched a palace for our army. The minister led his troops to meet the enemy, but was secretly injured by Cheng Yuquan and fell into the river. That Cheng Yuquan has been imprisoned by the minister. ”

After hearing his words, the emperor frowned and thought for a while, "I remember that not long after the news of your death came, two concubines were sent from the northwest. ”

Xiao Huai nodded, "Yes, those two are the spies cultivated by Lu Xinghai." However, the minister listened to Yuming and said that the two had died of illness. ”

"Sick and dead?" The Emperor asked rhetorically.

Xiao Huai: "Yes." ”

The emperor didn't ask again, but guessed in his heart that the two people were probably not as simple as dying of illness.

The person who insisted on sending those two concubines to Beijing was Su Bingcang. Xiao Huai said again.

The emperor frowned, and Xiao Huai explained to him, "This person is a supervisor of grain and grass, and after the investigation of the ministers, this person is the person of the second prince on the surface, but he is actually doing things for the eldest prince." ”

The emperor sat there without speaking, but his face was cloudy, and it was obvious that his eldest son wanted to frame the second son. Although it is a common thing in the royal family, it is a shame to be exposed.

And Xiao Huai saw his expression, the corners of his lips rose, outlining a mocking arc.

"Bring Jiang Xiuming up." The emperor's voice was angry and tired, and his son was just stupid, and he even wanted to force the palace. It's because he didn't die fast enough!
