The emperor's cold words made King Qing stunned for a moment.

However, after thinking about it carefully, King Qing remembered that tomorrow would indeed be the birthday of his mother, Concubine Jin.

"Erchen should die, he even forgot his mother's birthday!" King Qing said with some self-reproach.

"No wonder you, now is your eventful autumn, forget it, forget it, but, I remember, your mother is not easy, since you were a child, you have been dragged up, but you are still so uncompetitive, Ming ** mother's birthday, I have asked the Ministry of Rites to organize, now the court is a little chaotic, I am not good to fanfare, so I invited a few old ministers, everyone is lively and lively, you also come together. The emperor said lightly.

"I'm afraid it's not convenient for the retainers to treat the sinful body. King Qing said with some trepidation.

"That's your biological mother, what's more important than your mother's birthday? Treating the sinful body doesn't affect this, don't you see, your mother's concubine is very bitter during this time. ”

Concubine Jin was snubbed by the emperor very early, of course, the emperor is still a conscience, and the snub is snubbed, and every ten days and half a month, she will also visit her, and occasionally let people send some rewards to the past, although she is no longer favored, but she is still caring.

Being a concubine in the palace, no matter how high the status is, how favored she is, there are people who are old and yellow, and the mother is expensive by her son, and it is not suitable for everyone, at least not now.

"Erchen takes orders!" Of course, King Qing was willing to appear at his mother's birthday banquet, and more importantly, it would also show that he had not been completely left out in front of some ministers.

"It's just, don't talk too much, you must know that many old ministers are quite complaining about you now, for the sake of you being the prince, they can be regarded as saving face for you, but you have to cover up your temper, I don't want to see any unpleasant scenes at tomorrow's banquet. "The emperor's intention to say this, King Qing couldn't understand it better.

"Father, please rest assured, the son will do it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Just when the emperor agreed and got up to leave, King Qing suddenly remembered something.

"Father, there is something that the sons want to ask. King Qing suddenly had the courage to say something.

The emperor looked at him suspiciously, and wanted to wave his hand impatiently, but when his hand was halfway raised, he put it down, sat back in his chair calmly, and said, "You ask." ”

"Thank you, father, Erchen wants to ask, is Chi Zhongtian still in the capital?"

Seeing that King Qing suddenly asked about Chi Zhongtian, the emperor was quite surprised and asked, "What, what are you asking him to do?"

"Erchen has heard that he rescued Erchen from the thief at that time, and, that night, he also arranged for someone to send me away quietly, and later I learned that if Erchen didn't leave, he might become a ghost under the knife, and he was also Erchen's life-saving benefactor, and Erchen wanted to face him. ”

Hearing King Qing say this, the emperor's face finally eased a lot.

"He is a martial artist, and the time is usually very tight, but if you can return safely this time, he should be the first to take the lead, you have to take care of him, but now he is not in the capital, and if there is a chance in the future, I will arrange it." The Emperor said.

"Thank you, Father!" King Qing hurriedly said.

"Chi Zhongtian is a talent, not to mention his martial arts, he is also brave and strategic, but this person's ambition is not small. "I don't know weishenme, as I talked, the topic turned to this.

As soon as King Qing heard that the emperor had something to say, he hurriedly answered: "How can my father see it?"

King Qing is very smart, and the meaning of answering immediately is that he wants to take the opportunity to chat with the emperor a few more words, this talk is too much, maybe it will be good for him, at least the emperor's anger towards him can be reduced a lot.

"It can be seen that this person is not the kind of person who keeps to himself, and over time, in the martial arts, I am afraid he will be the only one. The Emperor said faintly.

"Then why doesn't my father reuse him?" asked King Qing casually.

"It can be regarded as reuse, this time the matter of southern Xinjiang is thanks to him, but the affairs of the DPRK and the central government, he still can't be involved, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up, and now is the time of chaos, and you can't make extraneous branches. The Emperor said.

At this time, King Qing suddenly said: "Father, the emperor does not let him participate in political affairs, but you can let him help the court to deal with foreign thieves, think about it, if he helps, then the court will be more sure to deal with foreign thieves?"

When the emperor heard this, he gave him an approving look, and then said lightly: "Of course this is good, but simple use, after all, is not a long-term solution, you use more of him, and give him more, and once you give more, what if the court can't control it in the future? ”

"Father is really far-sighted. King Qing didn't know if he was patting on the back, or if he was sincere.

"However, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can become friends with him, and it will not hurt you to make more friends with such people. The Emperor said.

Hearing this, King Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed, because this had been vaguely revealed, and in the future, King Qing would have a chance to restore the king, and even, it would be the same as before.

"I can't ask for it. ”

"After tomorrow, you still honestly think about it here behind closed doors, your second brother has also suffered losses in the west, I am already a little annoyed, you said Zhao Weixian's matter again, I am now a little powerless, so, I must find out as soon as possible, and after the investigation, I will deal with you." ”

"The retainers obeyed. ”

As long as the emperor is willing to investigate in detail, King Qing believes that he can still dodge, after all, Zhao Weixian did say something like that to him, but there is no real evidence.

But then again, if the emperor is asked to choose between him and Zhao Weixian at that time, then the ghost knows who the emperor is going to choose.

Thinking of this, King Qing was not too worried.

After leaving King Qing's place, the emperor returned to the imperial study, intending to write, but as soon as he lifted the pen, a eunuch came in outside, saying that the king wanted to see him.

Speaking of which, since returning from southern Xinjiang, the emperor has not seen the king alone once.

The reason for this must be unknown.

Hearing that the king was coming, the emperor's originally relaxed face suddenly tensed again.

After a pause, the emperor put down his pen and said, "Biography." ”

"Yes!"

In a short time, the king came in from outside, and as soon as he entered, he knelt down and saluted, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Uncle Huang, excuse me. ”
