"Father, my son and minister lived up to their mission. Together with the emperor's uncle, we led our army to successfully repel the barbarians and protect my great Qi."
Qi Jinluo walked up to the main hall wearing silver and white armor, and behind him were soldiers pressing down on the bound barbarian king, who was brought back as the spoils of their expedition this time.
Seeing that the barbarian king still looked dissatisfied and refused to kneel down, Qi Jinluo directly kicked him in the knee, making him kneel straight on the ground. Just as the barbarian king was about to stare back, Qi Jinluo kicked him. The sharp gaze was so frightened that he withdrew his gaze. He still hadn't forgotten that the man broke into his camp suddenly and beat him up severely.
The barbarian king suspected that if Zhennan King reminded him from time to time, the fourth prince could kill him with a single sword. They all looked like they were going to kill him.
After some discussion, the barbarian king watched himself as a captive of these Central Plains people, and if he wanted to go back, the barbarian had to pay more tribute. Years ago was worse.
As the great heroes this time, Qi Jinluo and King Zhennan received a lot of rewards as expected, and the two of them were once again invited to the imperial study by the emperor alone after the next court, and they talked for half an hour before they came out .
On the way back to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Zhennan King was still surprised that Qi Jinnan usurped the throne so quickly: "Your elder brother... oh, it's a pity, but I didn't expect that Rong'er would make a great contribution this time."
The king of Zhennan just heard from the emperor that his little boy escorted him in time this time, and he didn't know how urgent the situation was. He didn't expect that the little ancestor who always needed their protection had grown up, and he suddenly felt oily But born.
Qi Jinnan's attack this time was already expected by Qi Jinluo. He was worried that Ling Rong would be alone in the capital without protection, so he handed over all his power to her. He didn't expect that this time it was Ah Rong who solved it all by himself. of! Qi Jinluo was proud but also a little scared. Fortunately, she was fine, otherwise his subordinates would also be to blame.
Now that Qi Jinnan can't make any splashes anymore, Qi Jinluo just lazily gave him another look, and it's more important to go back to look at his Arong.
According to the usual practice, Qi Jinluo walked in as if he regarded the Zhennan Prince's Mansion as his own home, and found Ling Rong's yard familiarly. Before he could take it off, he rushed to her side.
"Arong, I'm back."
Ling Rong had also heard about the return of the two to Beijing, but when he saw Qi Jinluo with his own eyes, he was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and stepped forward to give him a big hug: "Welcome back."
Qi Jinluo stopped her before she hugged her: "Don't hug her, my armor is still on me, it will hurt you." At this moment, he couldn't help regretting that he didn't change his armor because he was in a hurry.
Ling Rong couldn't find his little bit of secretly annoyed, so he gave a light laugh and took the initiative to hug him again: "Fool, hug me if you want, thank you for coming back safely."
Qi Jinluo's heart burned, and finally he no longer restrained himself and hugged the person he was thinking of tightly in his arms, never wanting to let go.
After some intimacy, Qi Jinluo did not forget about Ling Rong's meritorious deeds: "Qi Jinnan suddenly usurped the throne this time, I also want to thank you for protecting the father, is there anything wrong with you?"
Ling Rong deliberately turned around for him to check: "Don't worry, I'm still Daddy's child, how dare you underestimate me?"
Qi Jinluo immediately begged for mercy: "How dare I, as long as you are fine." Now he no longer has to worry about what Qi Jinnan will do to A Rong, the biggest hidden danger is eliminated.
After staying in Zhennan Prince's Mansion for another half an hour, Qi Jinluo reluctantly left, and then went to visit his grandfather and Taifu.
The Grand Tutor was of course very happy to see his grandson returning safely, and the sensitive topic of the throne was inevitably mentioned when the grandparent and grandson were talking.
"Luoer, now the eldest prince has completely fallen, and there is no chance to compete for the throne anymore, have you thought about yourself?" There are indeed many princes of the right age, but the ones who are really suitable for the crown prince are only the previous favorites. The eldest prince and the fourth prince who are the legitimate sons, now that the eldest prince has fallen out of office, the only one left is Qi Jinluo.
Although everyone has guessed in their hearts that it is almost a certainty that the fourth prince will become the crown prince, but as the Tai Tuo who knows the real story behind the first prince's attempt to usurp the throne that night and Ling Rong rescued him, he also set his sights on what he had never done before. He had cared about Ling Rong, the little prince.
"Luoer, do you know that this time the eldest prince was only one step away from successfully killing His Majesty and blaming the young prince, but in the end the young prince was able to defeat the eldest prince by himself, and it was entirely by herself His strength, and the witness that the eldest prince colluded with barbarians and treason was also quietly rescued by the young prince from the prime minister's mansion, and finally dealt a heavy blow to the eldest prince, this kind of strength and thought, I am afraid that ordinary people can't have it!"
"And you have to know that according to the law of our court, the young prince also has the right to inherit the throne, and your majesty has always favored the young prince..." The Taifu didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but the meaning could not be more obvious. Without directly naming Ling Ronghui, Qi Jinluo will be Qi Jinluo's strongest enemy in the fight for the throne.
The Taifu didn't even forget the rumor that worried countless concubines in the palace back then, that the little prince was the ninth prince who the emperor secretly entrusted the prince of Zhennan to raise him in order to hide his eyes and ears. If this is true, then who will get the throne? But it's hard to say.
The Taifu's selfishness is naturally to hope that Qi Jinluo can inherit the great line, whether it is virtue or talent, his grandson should be impeccable.
Listening quietly to what Grandpa had said, Qi Jinluo didn't show the slightest surprise or worry, but instead smiled gently and persuaded the Taifu: "Grandpa, I believe that Arong, she won't compete for this seat .”
Of course, this is just to make the Taifu feel at ease, but his actual thinking is that even if Ah Rong really wants the throne, he will only give it to him with both hands. He made a promise at the beginning, as long as anyone saves him, then He is willing to give anything, including the throne of course.
If she wants the throne, then he is willing to become the leader to guard this territory for her and protect the peace of the country for her, just like King Zhennan.
Seeing that he didn't feel the slightest sense of nervousness, the Tai Tu could only sigh inwardly. Sure enough, the little prince couldn't be underestimated. Even his grandson had great trust in the little prince. He was the kind who couldn't say a bad word at all.
I can only hope that everything will develop in the best direction, and nothing will happen again.
The emperor did not disappoint the Taifu. On the next morning, the emperor suddenly announced the long-awaited crown prince.
"I declare that the fourth prince has both good morals and talents, and even has the merits of water control and war. From today on, the fourth prince will be my imperial prince!"
