Mr. Ruo is the most outstanding advisor under Xiao Xu. This time he returned to the court after defeating the enemy army. Mr. Ruo did not come with him, but stayed at the border. But I didn't want to see him at this time. At this time, his clothes were covered with mud, and it was obvious that he had been on a long and non-stop journey, and his face was tired.
Huo Ling and Tu Ling saw the appearance of their master, and they knew in their hearts that the master had confessed to the little princess, and it seemed that the little princess had a higher and higher status in the mind of the master.
Xiao Xu gave his place to let people come in, and the Fire Spirit and Earth Spirit who followed Mr. Ruo also came in together.
Xiao Xu first poured a cup of hot tea for Mr. Ruo, let him take a breath, and then turned to Earth Spirit and Fire Spirit. .
At this time, Huo Ling first presented an urgent secret report.
From Xixuan Palace.
When Xiao Xu saw the handwriting on it, he knew who sent it.
He hesitated for a moment and finally opened it.
After a quick glance, Xiao Xu's face suddenly froze. In order to let him go back to Xixuan, the mother actually forced her to die!
It was written on the letter that the royal father planned to make Xiao Ran the crown prince on the grounds that he had been missing for several months. As long as he appeared in Xixuan, his father's plan would be cancelled, so if he dared to abandon the first prince Xixuan Identity, leave the Liang family, leave everything behind and leave, then she will die in Zhaoyang Palace to show him.
Besides threatening him with filial piety, what other means could the queen mother have
The change in Xiao Xu's expression did not escape everyone's eyes, but he felt that the whole room suddenly became cold.
He closed his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes was taken away by him.
"Mr. Ruo, what's the matter with this king?" He was always polite and courteous to this counselor.
Mr. Ruo saluted Chao Xiao Xu, and then explained his reason for coming here.
"My lord, after you disappeared in Xixuan, you were very worried, and brought someone from the border to find you, but halfway through, I received news from Xiao Lieqi and knew that you were safe, so I planned to return to the border, but I didn't want to receive Shui Ling. Another piece of news from , that traces of mines have been discovered on the Fuli Mountains. Maybe there are really hidden mines, but I think that the most important thing for you at that time is to seek an antidote, so I asked Shui Ling to temporarily put this piece of news aside. "
Mr. Ruo continued, "But not long ago, I received the news that you were assassinated. These people are not only from the court, but also from the rivers and lakes, so I thought of this again and came to you. I know you have no intention of chasing the deer, but I worry that one day, tigers do not harm people's hearts, but people have the intention to kill tigers."
Xiao Xu frowned, "If you have something to say, say it directly."
Mr. Ruo nodded and said solemnly, "My lord, although I know that you have planned to live in seclusion in the court and will no longer intervene in Xixuan's political affairs, but I am worried that those who were enemies of you in the past will not let you go, including today's Sage, at the beginning, Sage used the strategy of turning tigers away from the mountain to keep you away from the capital, but I didn’t expect you to survive. Now there are traces of mines in the Fuli Mountains by accident, so I think that the lord can return to the Fuli Mountains on his own. On the surface, I have indicated to Your Majesty that you are an idle prince, responsible for continuing to search for minerals in the Fuli Mountains. You are dignifiedly appearing in everyone's sight, and those people will not dare to attack so blatantly, and at the same time reduce Your Majesty's vigilance towards you."
Xiao Xu understood what he meant, and couldn't help frowning deeply.
Mr. Ruo was afraid that he would not agree, and immediately said, "Your Highness, you have no intention of participating in the struggle for power, but you must also have the ability to protect yourself. No one knows whether His Majesty will take action against you one day, since he gave The Fuli Mountains are given to you, but you don’t know that there are minerals in them, so we can push the boat along the way and collect the minerals in them for our own use.
Tu Ling and Huo Ling looked at each other in dismay. They didn't expect things to have developed to this point. They immediately looked at their master, not knowing what decision he would make.
"King Rong Ben considers it." Xiao Xu stood up and turned his back to the crowd, speaking indifferently, but no one knew. With his back to them, his hands in his sleeves were slowly clenched, and his face showed a touch of bitterness.
Mr. Ruo wanted to say something, but seeing that the prince had already expressed his refusal to talk with his gesture, he sighed and went out with Tu Ling Huo Ling and the others.
And Xiao Xu didn't know how long he stood, and felt that there was another person behind him.
"Big ice cubes."
"Why did you come here?" Xiao Xu turned around and saw that she was wearing loose uniforms, so she could guess that she had fallen asleep and got up again.
He stepped forward, picked up the cloak on the back of the chair, wrapped her tightly, and sat down on the chair beside him.
"I heard what Huo Ling and the others said about tonight's matter. Are you worried?" Chu Qingyan asked with concern.
"Well." Xiao Xu admitted, and then he asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Hearing this, Chu Qingyan lowered her head to think for a moment, then raised her head and smiled brightly, "Go to the Fuli Mountains, put the minerals there in your pocket, recharge your energy, and then see whoever dares to harm us in the future, show it and scare him to death. !"
"Don't you want to walk around?" This was one of the reasons for his hesitation. He had promised her that he would no longer be involved in government affairs.
"Playing is a small thing, getting rich is a big thing. It's not advisable to sit and eat, and I want you to live in Xixuan upright and upright!" Chu Qingyan suddenly looked at him with a serious face, "I don't want big ice cubes. People think that you are timid, so you hide and don't dare to show it to others. Even if they want to cheat on us, it doesn't matter, come and fight one, come one pair and fly one pair, I still don't believe it, those who flaunt themselves with a gentleman's nobility A person who dares to harm others in an open and honest way!”
"Big Ice Cube, you're not wrong, it's time for you to take back what belongs to you. This is what Xi Xuan owes you! And we're just for self-protection, not for civil unrest, so what's there to worry about! It's them, If we dare to touch us again, we will knock them down with mines in minutes!" Chu Qingyan said with righteous indignation!
Xiao Xu looked at her red face with anger, and showed her face.
"good."
This is his bottom line, the last concession.
If he steps on his bottom line next time, then he won't let it go so easily.
After the New Year's Eve that year, Xixuanguo unexpectedly snowed.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Emperor Xixuan received a letter from Xiao Xu, which said that he had been missing for a while due to being stabbed, and his health had suddenly deteriorated. Xuan did his last bit.
The ministers in the court were moved by King Ying's actions, saying that King Ying had made great contributions to the country and the people for so many years, and now he was seriously injured, and he was thinking of Xixuan, so they asked Emperor Xixuan to grant him this request.
And Emperor Xixuan was moved after seeing the last paragraph of his eldest son's letter.
Erchen admits that his talent is not enough for a big job, and voluntarily gives up his right to inherit the throne.
He now needs time to wait for Ran'er to grow up, so Xu'er's letter comes at the right time. When Ran'er grows up, these people who are not conducive to Ran'er's consolidation of imperial power will be eradicated one by one!
After all, one mountain cannot hold two tigers.
After Emperor Xixuan agreed, Xiao Xu took Xiao Lieqi and others to the Fuli Mountains.
This flash, is four years.
In the past four years, what kind of people have grown up
That black-eyed boy, that ten-year-old girl, what kind of youth will she experience
The struggle for imperial power, conspiracy and deceit, can you and I be able to stay together forever
After thousands of dangers, the phoenix nirvana, I will play a phoenix for you!
