The Imperial Palace, on the court.

"Your Majesty, now because of Princess Yongle's relationship, we have reached a peace covenant with Northern Qi. This time, the Empress of Northern Qi gave birth to a son-in-law, and we should go to congratulate us no matter what. ”

"Hmm. Indeed it is. So who wants to go? ”

"Wechen is willing to go."

"Wechen is willing to go."

"Wechen is willing to go."

Immediately, three adults came out of the queue to express their willingness to go to Northern Qi.

The emperor saw that the few people in the column did not speak, and his gaze swept over everyone. At this time, Xu Che, the head of the household department, came out to salute, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this time to go to Northern Qi to congratulate, in order to show the sincerity of our country, it is more appropriate to choose a noble person to lead the team." ”

"Oh? What does Xu Aiqing mean? ”

"Weichen thinks that it is most appropriate to respect His Royal Highness."

As soon as the words fell, whispers began to be whispered below.

"Huh? To His Royal Highness? ”

"King Jing is still grounded?"

"Yes, yes, is it appropriate to pay homage to His Royal Highness?"

"Do you want to be valuable? Only His Royal Highness is suitable. ”

"Then in addition to respecting the king, King Jingnan can also do it."

"King Jingnan, forget it, I heard that I have been sick for five years, and I am in a wheelchair every day."

"Well, His Royal Highness King Jing is indeed the best choice."

······

After saying enough, the emperor spoke, "Let King Jing enter the palace." After saying that, he went straight down to the court.

Leaving everyone whispering again, only General Zhenguo did not say a word, and left directly as soon as he announced his retreat from the dynasty.

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor was closing his eyes to recuperate, and Zhang Fu stepped forward in small steps, "Your Majesty, King Jing, Prime Minister Guo Cheng, and Marquis Zhongyong are here." ”

"Oh, it's blatant." The emperor opened his eyes, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to indifference, "Xuan." ”

"Son-in-law, see father."

"Weichen see the emperor."

"Weichen see the emperor."

The emperor took a sip of tea, "Get up." ”

"What are you doing in the house these days?" The emperor asked lightly.

Xiao Shen was sweating profusely, "My father asked me to be grounded, and my son knew that he had done something wrong, so he reflected in the mansion." ”

"Oh? Reflect on what happened, and tell me about it. ”

"Erchen... Erchen knew that as a prince, he should be broad-minded, and he should not be angry with women, let alone do anything, which would damage his demeanor and degrade the face of the royal family. ”

The emperor took two more sips of tea and looked at King Jing, "Is there anything else?" ”

"And... Erchen thinks that he should pay more attention to government affairs in the future, and in the future..."

"Alright. I've heard about what happened in the court today. ”

"Yes, Erchen heard about it. It's a matter of going to Northern Qi. ”

"Well, tell me what you think."

"Erchen ······"

"Your Majesty," Marquis Zhongyong stepped forward and saluted, "Weichen feels that it is really inappropriate to let His Royal Highness King Jing go to Northern Qi. ”

"Well, let's talk about what's wrong."

"King Jing is still in charge of the affairs of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry, and his work is busy, and it takes too long to go back and forth to Northern Qi."

The emperor did not respond, "What does the prime minister think?" ”

Guo Youwei finished the salute meticulously, "Weichen and Zhongyong Marquis coincide with each other. The trip to Northern Qi is very important, and it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. However, at present, the court respects the king and a prince to participate in the affairs of the court and China, and also leads the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, so Weichen feels that he can arrange other people with noble status to go, which can also represent the sincerity of our country. ”

"Then who does the prime minister think is suitable?"

"Weichen thinks that General Zhenguo can go."

"Oh? As soon as the prime minister arrived in Kyoto, the prime minister told me that he was old and wanted to return to his hometown. ”

"Wechen ······"

"Does the prime minister know that General Zhenguo has been fighting horses all his life and has been secretly injured?"

"Wechen ······"

"Prime Minister still knows, I exhausted all means before I said that General Zhenguo would continue to work for me?"

"Wechen should be damned." Guo Youwei's face was pale at this time, he shouldn't be in such a hurry. At present, no one has the ability to receive the troops in Su Huan's hands, and no matter what the aspect is, the emperor will not let Su Huan leave.

"Go ahead and tell me who would be better suited to go."

Marquis Zhongyong was also anxious, in short, he couldn't let King Jing go, "Jing... King Jingnan? ”

"Heh, is there no one in my Daqing country? Yes? Xiao Han has been injured and died for five years, you let him go? The prince picked up the cup on the table and smashed it, "Liu Cheng, are you a pig brain?" ”

The Marquis of Zhongyong shrank in fright, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Xiao Shen spoke up at this time, "If you want the most expensive status, then the father and emperor are not only sons and sons." ”

Indoor pins can be heard.

The emperor's face was expressionless, and his face was gloomy, "Yes, I still have a prince, but you don't know how your second emperor's brother is doing?" ”

Xiao Shen seemed to feel that there was still room for this matter, "Father, the second emperor's brother has lived in a simple house all these years, and has been raising them in the palace, maybe his body will be well soon." ”

"yes, yes." Zhongyong Hou immediately answered.

"Moreover, the father and the second emperor are already eighteen years old this year. should also let him come out slowly to hone and hone, after all, he is also a prince. Xiao Shen's words were sincere, like an older brother who was planning for his younger brother.

The emperor did not speak, but did not refuse either.

Seeing this, Xiao Shen felt even more hopeful, "Father, the son knows that you are worried about the body of the second emperor's brother. Don't worry, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and the body of the second emperor's brother must be well adjusted. ”

The Emperor let out a long sigh, "This matter will be discussed later." ”

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"I said, this matter can be discussed later, step down." The Emperor flicked his sleeves and turned his back.

"The retainers retired."

"Wechen retired."

"Wechen retired."

Respect the king's mansion.

"What does this mean, Father? I can go, but Xiao Yan can't? Xiao Shen couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart after drinking a big sip of tea.

"It doesn't have to be that way to respect the king. Today, it seems that the emperor has loosened, and this matter is not impossible. Guo Youwei responded lightly.

"Yes, yes, King Jing, you have a calm mind. Let's do the work again, so that the emperor can only send that Xiao Yan to go. ”

"Uncle has a way?"

"King Jing, don't worry, this matter will be left to me."

Compared with the confident and loyal Marquis, Prime Minister Guo Cheng seems much more bland.

After that, for several days, the imperial doctor went to the palace of the second prince on time every day to check the pulse, and all kinds of nourishing medicines were constantly sent over. Of course, whether the second prince took it or not is another matter.

Zhenguo General's Mansion.

"Little Wu, your grandmother is so nice, she asked people to prepare a lot of pastries for me, you see."

Today, Xuan Xiaosan and Xuan Xiaosi went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion as guests and received a warm welcome. After eating, a group of young people chatted and drank tea in the yard.

Xuan Xiaosan drank tea, his face full of disgust, "Didn't you eat enough for lunch just now?" ”

"Lunch was lunch, and now it's... It's afternoon tea, right, Little Five? ”

"Yes, afternoon tea, hehe."

Su Qian also asked the maid to send all the snacks in the kitchen, and Xuan Xiaosi happily called "good brother".

Xuan Xiaosan looked at Su Yu, who was drinking tea next to him and didn't say a word, "I heard that you are going to escort relief food, when will you leave?" ”

Su Yu put down the cup, "You know everything?" The news spread quickly. The day after tomorrow. ”

"Big brother is going out?" Su Yue also joined the conversation.

"Sister, you don't know, the emperor asked the eldest brother to escort the relief food, but those people obviously have bad intentions, sure..." Su Yu anxiously told Su Yue about it.

"Ah Yu, Hugh is talking nonsense."
