Xiao Xu frowned when he heard that it was from Kyoto. At this time, he looked up at the door, the little guy had already escaped without a trace, he didn't want to pay attention to the news, but in the end he moved his lips, "Go to the study."
After a while, Tu Ling had already stood at the desk, presented the letter, and said, "Master, the news from Shui Ling is not about the Empress, but about the progress of the war between us and Nancang Kingdom. "
"Oh?" Xiao Xu opened the letter and spread it out in front of him. After looking at it for ten lines, his face was calm, "The Fourth Emperor took the initiative to invite Ying?"
Tu Ling nodded, "The support of the fourth prince from the Fu family's party in the DPRK was very loud before. It's not that no military generals took the initiative to recommend themselves, but because His Majesty is not optimistic, and you have been attracting attention but you have been delayed in appearing, and the battle between the two armies is imminent. , even if the Liang family keeps trying to protect you, it can't be dragged on, so His Majesty has long accepted the fourth prince's request."
Xiao Xu put down the paper with a light expression, "Even if this king takes the initiative to come forward, the father emperor may not hand over the general power to this king. At the beginning, he finally took it back, so it is not surprising that it was handed over to the fourth emperor's younger brother, this king."
It can be said that he had already anticipated the situation today.
"His Majesty has given so much time, but it is not for the master, but in order to block Youyou's public and let people know that it is the master that you are willing to give up, and you will get a name for abandoning the country's safety." Because it has been in the fief for a long time. , away from the imperial city, Tu Ling is no longer as scruples as he used to speak, and he is a little dissatisfied with the Ninety-five Supreme in Kyoto, but he dare not show it on his face. After all, he is still the master's biological father. Subordinates, have no right to speak.
Xiao Xu knew that Tu Ling was complaining about him, but Xiao Xu still gave a look as a warning.
The reason why the royal father dared to leave this period of time to him is because when he left, he promised that no matter what happened in the future, he would not interfere in the affairs of the court again, and he changed his peaceful life for the past few years.
He narrowed his eyebrows and covered his eyes with a deep look, "Fourth Emperor's younger brother has no fame and no outstanding political achievements. Although this king has not been here in recent years, the ministers in the court who are not young or not, plus members of the Liang family. , will not let the fourth emperor have too much real power, so this time Nancang Kingdom's attack is an opportunity. If he grasps it well, he will be able to gain a foothold in the court, and it is more difficult than this king in the country. For the direct prince who does not appear, he will be able to capture the hearts of the people even more."
This is the father's calculus, and it is also what the mother and queen are worried about, so they ignore his previous warnings and want to arrest the little guy to threaten him at all costs.
Tu Ling and Huo Ling are very worthless for the master in front of them at this moment. If it wasn't for the protection of the master for so many years, how could Xi Xuan have a peaceful and prosperous world for nearly ten years
"Are you two unwilling for this king?" Xiao Xu smiled lightly, and before they could answer, he shook his head and continued, "Ayan has something to say, it is better to give someone a sweet fragrance than to give them a knife that will be unforgettable. Therefore, we cannot force the minds of the common people, and we did so many things at the beginning, but because of the status of the eldest son of the emperor, the income of the emperor, and the worries of the emperor, if the emperor does not need it, he can only obey orders. , not to be defied."
Tu Ling was astonished, when did the master stop looking at him calmly because of His Majesty's partiality? But whatever the reason, this is good.
In fact, for Xiao Xu, it was just because of the transfer of emotions. He used to expect Empress Xixuan to care about him, but now because of the appearance of another person, he has invested all his rare warmth in her life, and the rest are in him. In his life, the most, but only the remaining blood relationship.
At this time, Tu Ling had already corrected his mentality and asked, "Master, do you think that this time the fourth prince will lead the army in person, will he win?"
"Things on the battlefield are unpredictable, and no one can say for sure. The Fourth Emperor has not practiced in actual combat, but the father should have taken this into consideration. There should be many good counselors around him." Xiao Xu said calmly and authentically.
Tu Ling nodded, "Master is right, this time His Majesty has arranged a military general to be the deputy general of the Fourth Prince, accompanied by two civil servants. It is said that the military generals were picked up by the Fu family in the past two years, and their martial arts are good, while those two Wenchen is from the Fu family, and I heard that he has a deep understanding of the layout of the art of war."
"I hope these people are not scumbags." It's not that Xiao Xu didn't know what the father emperor was thinking, to appoint the fourth emperor's younger brother and reuse the Fu family. If the fourth emperor's younger brother became famous all over the world because of this battle, then not only his status, but also his position. Even the Fu family is rising, and it will be easy to deal with the Liang family when the time comes, provided that he does not want to fight for the throne.
Huo Ling didn't like the Fu family at all, and sarcastically said, "Fifteen years ago, the Fu family participated in the battle, but that time suffered heavy losses, and I don't know if the situation can be reversed this time."
After Huo Ling finished speaking, he felt very relieved when he saw that his master was still calm and calm, and he was no longer the one who fearlessly devoted himself to the affairs of the state, he said curiously, "Master, you hope the fourth prince will win this battle. a battle?"
Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows, "If you can win the best, this king can relax for a while."
The meaning of the master is very obvious. If the fourth prince loses, then the only way to clean up the mess is the master, but if the fourth prince wins, it is estimated that the matter of establishing the prince will be put on the agenda immediately, then Concubine Yue is the first The object of trouble is the master.
After Huo Ling thought about it, he felt very sad. Whether the battle was won or lost, their masters had no time to relax.
"Just pay attention to this matter, don't be too nervous, what should come will always come, write a letter for this king, and tell the queen, let the people of the Liang family restrain themselves in the recent period of time, don't touch The father raised his brows, no matter what the news of the front-line battle was."
"Yes!" Huo Ling didn't think much, and then took the order.
In the study, the only remaining earth spirit was still standing there.
"Ling Feng has prepared a generous gift for this king." These days seem to be Ling Feng's eldest son's birthday, and he heard the little guy talking about it some time ago.
Huo Ling responded in surprise, shouldn't the little princess be taking care of these things on weekdays? When did the master take care of these trivial matters
Xiao Xu saw through his subordinate's mind, but he didn't. After such a fuss in the afternoon, the little guy probably wouldn't think about these things for a while, so he took care of it for her.
"Master, you seem to be in a good mood recently?" Tu Ling was curious.
Xiao Xu didn't deny it, "It's probably because people are in good spirits when they have a happy event."
