I know that I should hold my breath at this time, but as long as it involves the little guy, it is too difficult for him to swallow it up.
Because he can't.
This may be the first time this son has spoken to him in a blatantly unkind tone.
Emperor Xixuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face was gloomy, so he couldn't hide it? Xiao Xu, let me see you and see how far you can achieve
"Xu'er, what you said is wrong. You let women disguise themselves as men in the military camp. This practice is to deceive the hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, the military regulations are there, and women are not allowed to join the army. The head is light, not to mention that this is bullying the king, once it is exposed, the Chu girl will definitely not be able to escape the nine clan affiliates, and as a prince, although you are not guilty of death, you can't escape the punishment of hundreds of officials."
"Father, my son admits that Ayan is indeed Chu Yan. This is a fact. It is undeniable that it was my son's lack of thought that made her participate in the battlefield."
I want to come to the father and emperor has made sufficient preparations, and there are witnesses and physical evidence. Since this is the case, there is nothing to deny.
Xiao Xu continued, "When she was marching with Erchen, it wasn't because she wanted to participate in the war, it was just that when Erchen took over the three armies, there were very few generals left, so she asked Ayan to lead the army. It was trained by Erchen. She knew how much she had in mind and strategy, and at the critical moment, Erchen could only use people he knew well, reducing the running-in, so that he could be very fast! It was a last resort.”
"Go ahead." Emperor Xixuan's voice was slightly deep, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible.
"Although there can be no women in the three armies, but if we can't be stubborn, because of the timely flexibility, although Ayan is a woman, she is a rare talent. In the battle of Nancang, she is not lost to anyone. A general who has made a lot of military exploits. And she did not have ulterior motives. After the end of the Nancang Station, she immediately withdrew from the three armies and no longer participated in any decision-making."
After Xiao Xu finished speaking, he cupped his hands and begged to say, "Please, the royal father, look at what she has done and not hold her for deceiving the king!"
Emperor Xixuan stroked his beard and looked silently at Xiao Xu in front of him. He was very reasonable. Chu Qingyan was indeed a rare talent, and because of this, it was even more impossible for him to keep Chu Qingyan in his place. By his side, it is like a tiger with even more wings. What he has to do today is to break his pair of wings!
And, he has another reason.
"What you said is not unreasonable, but there are national laws and family rules. There is no impermeable wall in this world. Even if I help you hide it, if it is exposed one day, you may not escape the blame of the world."
"If the royal father finds it difficult to explain to the rest of the world, then there is a way for the minister," Xiao Xu said without hesitation, "Ayan's merits and demerits are worth it. For the common people, I only wish to appease the anger of the father and the emperor and the blame of the world."
Emperor Xixuan looked at the son in front of him in a daze, suddenly feeling that he had never understood him for so many years, so he couldn't guess his mind at all.
I have to say that this is the best way. It can not only let him hand over military power and all power, but also clear the way for Ran'er in the future. It really kills two birds with one stone.
But this is not his ultimate goal.
Emperor Xixuan looked at Xiao Xu and persuaded him gently, "You have made great contributions to the people of the country for so many years, and you have become famous. Do you have to give up all because of a woman, and bear an infamy, is it worth it?"
Although Emperor Xixuan's remarks seemed to be admonishing, Xiao Xu heard something different.
"In Erchen's life, I never regret a decision!" Xiao Xu lowered his head and said firmly.
"Don't be in a hurry to make a decision. Actually, I also have a way to suppress this matter, but I don't know if you can accept this method?" When Emperor Xixuan said this, his eyes fell on him, with an unspeakable meaning. .
Xiao Xu raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were calm and authentic, "Please ask the royal father for guidance."
Emperor Xixuan narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's very simple, find a stronger protection for Chu girl."
Xiao Xu frowned and looked at him for unknown reasons.
"You are going to leave the capital in the future, and you don't have military power in your hands. If something happens, you won't be able to protect her at all, so if you really care about this girl, don't put her by your side."
Having said this, Emperor Xixuan suddenly changed the subject, and did not take the chill emanating from Xiao Xu's body into his eyes at all.
"You know that Ran'er likes this girl very much, right? She doesn't want to eat or drink for her sake, and now she's bedridden. It's inevitable to be a little reckless when you know what it's like at a young age. As a big brother, you should think about him more."
The potential meaning of these words is to let him send Ayan to the fourth brother
Because the fourth brother is likely to be the next prince, so Ayan is safer beside him
What is the logic
"Father, are you serious?"
Xiao Xu's face was gloomy, and he did not deliberately hide his emotions. The whole person seemed to be coming from a glacier and snow, with a violent blizzard.
At the same time, in front of Xiao Hou's carriage, stood a row of men in black with bows and arrows in their hands, all of which had drawn full bows and arrows.
The visitor is not good.
Xiao Hou opened the curtain and saw this scene.
At this moment, the man in black at the head waved his gesture, pulled the string and released arrows, and dozens of arrow feathers flew towards them.
"Pfft-"
Many of the guards on both sides were killed by arrows.
Xiao Hou's face froze, "Rush over!"
Everyone obeyed the order and immediately rushed towards the man in black.
However, the distance was a little far, long arrows flew, and many people fell on the road one after another.
Some arrow feathers penetrated the rain curtain and attacked the carriage. Xiao Hou sat firmly like a mountain, holding an arrow between his fingers, and then used this arrow to knock down the remaining arrow feathers.
And Pang Zhi huddled in his arms, watching this scene, she should have felt fear and fear, but the warmth in his arms seemed to isolate these dangers from the outside, making her feel at ease and want to rely on it.
Although Xiao Hou's people were killed and injured a lot, they were not afraid to approach deathly, shortening the range, so that the man in black could no longer shoot arrows, and could only attack by changing weapons.
But the men in black came prepared, and there were so many people that Xiao Hou's people quickly presented a one-sided situation.
At this moment, someone jumped on the carriage and dealt with the driver. The head of the horse was chopped off with one knife. The carriage lost its horse and lost its direction for a while, but the four feet still maintained a running posture, straight rushed to the side of the cliff.
The cliff was close at hand, Xiao Hou made a decisive decision, picked up the person in his arms, smashed the wall of the car with one palm, and quickly jumped out with her to the other side.
However, the men in black who had been waiting on both sides rushed up, showing their weapons and waving at him.
