Xue Lingjun said: "It's not me who invites you, it's the emperor who invites you over."
Xue Shengjing asked: "Since when has he seen me as an uncle in his eyes?" The expression on his face seemed a bit disdainful.
Xue Lingjun said: "Brother, you don't care about the emperor, do you?"
"How dare! How dare! I just feel that I can't help much even if I go over. Dongluo Cang was robbed. What a joke? When did Dayong's generals become such pustules?"
Xue Lingjun said: "Your good brother is not so powerful!"
A strange smile emerged from the corners of Xue Shengjing's lips: "The imperial sister and he seem to be closer."
Xue Lingjun actually felt his pretty face getting a little hot, and spat: "Brother, the emperor is now in a hurry to pick off himself?"
"What am I afraid of? Does the Emperor still think that Hu Xiaotian and I are colluding?"
Xue Lingjun said meaningfully: "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. No one knows what the emperor thinks."
Xue Shengjing said: "Onlookers are clear, but the authorities are confused. The emperor has just sat in this seat. Although I, the emperor's uncle, can't help much, I can still see some things clearly. When it comes to leading troops to fight, Dao Ming
But he is a rare talent. After Tang Boxi's defeat, the emperor was eager to regain his reputation and used troops hastily, which is a taboo in the art of war. As a result, he fell into someone else's trap. Even a layman like me can see it clearly, but how can others see it?
No, it’s just that no one wants to remind him.”
Xue Lingjun said: "Do you want to recommend Dao Ming?"
Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "Imperial sister, you and I are brothers and sisters. If these words of yours reach the ears of the emperor, he may not know what he will think of me. He doesn't want to use Dao Ming, along with several generals of the Dong family."
They were all hidden by him, who is Qin Yangming? He is just a mediocre person, and we expect him to charge into battle. Hehe... he showed his true colors in just one battle."
Xue Lingjun sighed and said: "There is really one less person around Daohong who can give ideas."
Xue Shengjing said: "What are you worried about? Li Chenzhou is a figure in the Jingbang and Weiguo. If he hadn't happened to go to Northern Xinjiang to condolences the soldiers, these two battles would never have ended like this. Sister, don't worry, I guess Li Chenzhou has already
We are on our way back. He is the only one the Emperor trusts most in his heart. Let’s not worry too much. If we care too much, we will make people suspect that we have ulterior motives.”
Xue Lingjun said: "Li Chenzhou is indeed a rare talent, and his loyalty to the emperor is beyond doubt."
Xue Shengjing said: "No matter how great a person is, he cannot support the whole world. If you want Dayong to continue to develop, you must have the courage and courage of the emperor, and you must have the magnanimity of others."
Xue Lingjun smiled slightly and did not speak. She could tell that the second emperor brother had some criticisms of the current emperor Xue Daohong. However, she still remembered that when the emperor brother was seriously ill and died, the second emperor brother's opinion was also to support the eldest prince Xue Daohong.
.The second emperor brother who is cynical and greedy for enjoyment in the eyes of outsiders is not that simple. Before his death, the emperor brother once told her to beware of the second emperor brother. The emperor brother was a wise king. He showed such vigilance and caution.
Not without reason.
The wheels of the car rolled over the ice-covered road, making a crisp crackling sound. This sound actually made Xue Shengjing feel a sense of joy from the bottom of her heart. She narrowed her eyes into a thin slit and opened the car curtain, admiring the outside.
The scenery has entered the Dayong Palace. The kings of the Dayong Dynasty were thrifty in business. Although the palace walls are majestic, the style of all buildings is simple and plain, so simple that it is almost monotonous. Among all countries, few palaces adopt a gray tone.
, gray high walls, gray palaces, gray roads. Everything makes people feel a strong sense of depression from the bottom of their hearts.
Xue Shengjing couldn't help but think of the stern face of the emperor's brother. How could he be happy living in such an environment? The emperor's brother had been fighting for ambition all his life. He seemed to have never enjoyed life. This heavy snow added a lot of trouble to the palace.
There are few colors, although it is only white, but the gray palace walls and the white ice and snow complement each other, and actually create a different kind of lightness, freshness and elegance. Xue Shengjing never expected that such a scene would appear in the palace.
The chariot stopped in front of the Jiuding Royal Road. This has always been the rule of the Great Yong Palace. Even Xue Shengjing, who is the King of Yan, must abide by it. They must walk into Fenghe Palace along the royal road between Jiuding. The eight great statues
The tripods stand on both sides of the road, and a giant tripod stands proudly in front of Fenghe Palace. These nine bronze tripods symbolize the supreme royal power and glory, and also represent the determination of the successive emperors of Yong to unify the world.
Brother and sister Xue Shengjing and Xue Lingjun walked side by side, but their strides showed two completely different states. Buffered by his fat body, Xue Shengjing's strides were staggering and heavy. Against his background, Xue Lingjun
Her footsteps seemed to become more and more brisk, as if the graceful willows were being blown by the wind, making people worry that her delicate and delicate body might be blown up by the wind at any time and float into the cold and empty sky.
Someone had already arrived in front of them, including Huang Beishan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xiang Liren, Grand Master. Someone had also arrived behind them, and it turned out to be the Seventh Prince Xue Daoming.
Although Huang Beishan and Xiang Liren who were walking in front had high positions and powerful positions, when they saw these three royal family members, they hurriedly stopped and bowed to wait for their arrival.
Xue Shengjing did not deliberately wait for Xue Daoming, but his slow pace soon kept pace with Xue Daoming. Xue Daoming said respectfully: "Uncle, hello, auntie!"
A sly smile appeared on Xue Shengjing's lips: "You are such a sensible kid!"
Xue Daoming was humble on the surface, but in his heart he was full of disgust for the two elders in front of him. When his father was critically ill, if it weren't for the support of the two of them, the throne of Dayong might not have fallen into the hands of the eldest brother so smoothly. However,
Hate is hate, but it can only be buried in the heart. On the surface, one still has to be respectful. Today is different from the past. The father died, and the emperor of Dayong has become the eldest brother. Looking at the original countries, there is no shortage of brothers fighting for imperial power.
Not to mention the precedent of neighboring Dakang, which fell into its current state of decline and decadence due to royal disputes.
Xue Daoming is a smart man. His mind and ability have been recognized by everyone since he was a boy. He also won the favor of his father because of his excellent performance. In the past, he was willing to show his abilities and expected that his performance would strengthen his father's confidence.
The emperor was determined to make himself the prince, but fate was not on his side. The sudden death of his father made all his previous efforts come to nothing.
Any of his outstanding performances in the past may have brought him death. Since his father's death, Xue Daoming has been secretive and even offered to go to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning for his father for three years, in order to show his respect for the imperial power.
He has no ambitions anymore. He is safe only when the emperor thinks that he no longer threatens his throne. Xue Daoming clearly realizes that it is difficult to achieve this. Although the eldest brother lacks the support of his father,
His courage and strategy, but he inherited his father's ruthlessness and suspicion. In the past years, the overt and covert fights between him and himself due to the competition for favor will not be wiped out. The eldest brother Xue Daohong is not so broad-minded as to repay evil with kindness.
character.
The recent troubles Dayong has encountered are actually something Xue Daoming likes to see. The war ignited on the border of southern Xinjiang and the successive setbacks not only involve most of Xue Daohong's energy, but also test his abilities. When the new king takes the throne, he must give way.
The subjects saw his ability and responsibility, but Xue Daohong's recent performance was clearly unqualified.
Xue Lingjun looked at Xue Daoming and sighed in her heart. In fact, deep down in her heart, she was inclined towards Xue Daoming's accession to the throne. In terms of personal mind and ability, Xue Daoming was obviously stronger than Xue Daohong, but becoming an emperor was not only
Just looking at the mind, just like a good military advisor does not necessarily have to personally charge into battle. Seeing Xue Daoming who was obviously thin, Xue Lingjun felt a lot of sympathy. Since Xue Daohong ascended the throne, Xue Daoming was only afraid of having trouble sleeping and eating, and was half disappointed that he had lost imperial power.
The other half may be afraid of potential crises.
Huang Beishan and Xiang Liren waited until the three uncles and nephews arrived. After just walking a short distance, Xue Shengjing was already out of breath. He rubbed his bulging belly and gasped: "Why do you want to do this?"
Come here?"
Xiang Liren said: "Your Majesty, the emperor should have summoned you about the fall of Dongluocang."
Xue Shengjing shook his fat head and cursed trash in a low voice. Several people fell silent at the same time. I wonder who Xue Shengjing was scolding?
After entering Fenghe Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs who had been waiting outside the palace gate, they discovered that Xue Daohong was much calmer than expected, but Xue Shengjing's observant little eyes still observed his impetuousness from the details of Xue Daohong's expression.
Two consecutive defeats, this time they lost Dongluocang, one of the seven major granaries. This was supposed to be the time for the new emperor to establish his power, but instead he lost all his face. Xue Daohong was not Xue Shengkang after all. He could not do what the former emperor did.
So calm.
After seeing the emperor, several people stood there in two lines.
Xue Daohong actually didn't grant him a seat, which made Xue Shengjing feel even more unhappy. Even when the late emperor was alive, he was not so generous. This kid became even more arrogant after he became the emperor.
Xue Daohong looked at Huang Beishan coldly, making the Minister of War shudder. It was his idea to mobilize his aunt's soldiers and horses to attack Dongluocang, but the result was a big disappointment to everyone. Huang Beishan did not expect that Qin Yangming would be so pusy, occupying
It was ridiculous that the superior force ended up like this. He did not dare to speak. Under the emperor's gaze, he lowered his eyes and stared at his toes.
Fortunately, Xue Daohong quickly looked away and said in a deep voice: "You must have heard about the incident in Dongluocang?"
No one responded, no one wanted to be the first to step forward at this time.
Xue Daohong's eyes returned to Huang Beishan's face. Huang Beishan had no choice but to step out and bow deeply: "I ask the emperor to forgive me. The destruction of Dongluo Cang was all caused by my negligence. Improper employment of personnel led to this failure."
, I have no face to face the Emperor." As he spoke, he bowed to the ground.
