After leaving the palace, Xiaohua felt relaxed, and a big stone in his heart was relieved. But for some reason, Wu Zheng looked gloomy, as if he was still thinking about what happened in the court.
Seeing this, Xiaohua patted Wu Zheng on the shoulder and said seriously: "Master Wu, now you are considered a half-rich man, why don't you go have a big meal?"
There was a hint of humor in Xiaohua's tone, trying to make Wu Zheng happy. However, Wu Zheng still had no reaction. He only curled his lips and said, "No appetite." Then he dragged his tired body and became dull.
Walk forward.
The streets are not peaceful yet. Even though the rebels have been eradicated, the people are still panicked. Some people even started to snatch food. I think so. Now is a war period, and the rebellion has just been put down.
It is impossible to think that it will be restored all at once.
In the next few days, the border war became increasingly fierce. According to the express report, more than half of the Second Prince's troops had suffered casualties and were in urgent need of support.
After seeing this, the emperor also frowned deeply. He knew the strength of his second son. Apart from the Minister of War, there was probably no one in the court who could lead troops in war who was stronger than him. That is.
In this way, we will soon be unable to resist, and the front line will be in danger.
So that day, the emperor summoned ministers again to discuss countermeasures. Because of the emergency, Wang Chaopeng, the Minister of War, who was recuperating at home, could not live in peace and was directly carried into the imperial study.
In the imperial study room, the atmosphere frequently fell into silence. The emperor's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then looked at Wang Chaopeng. Wang Chaopeng was lying on the wooden shelf, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. Damn it, could it be that I'm here again?
On the head?
His Majesty the Emperor cleared his throat first, and then said: "Wang Aiqing, how are you?"
When Wang Chaopeng heard this, he knew something was wrong and quickly said: "Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, my health is much better than yesterday."
"In that case, how about the Qing family leading the attack this time?" The emperor said in a consulting tone, and seemed to feel that he was a little unconscionable in saying this.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is full of ambition but not strong enough!" As he said this, Wang Chaopeng began to cry with snot and tears, "Your Majesty, this old minister's broken body is real now."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything." The emperor sighed, sat down on his chair, sighed, waved his hand, and dismissed everyone.
After everyone was gone, the emperor said: "Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slovenly little old man came out from behind a pillar. He was holding a fly whisk in one hand and picking his nose with the other hand. He rarely gnawed on a chicken leg. Before the emperor could speak, Wong Tai Sin
Open your mouth first.
"When will the roast chicken restaurant open? I'm almost running out of chicken legs."
The emperor sniffed, a little doubtful whether he should ask for help like this old guy. Why does it feel so unreliable? Forget it, let's just treat a dead horse as a living doctor. Thinking like this, the emperor finally said slowly: "That senior Huang
, the border is in emergency.”
"Oh." Huang Taixian didn't take it seriously and just sat on the ground and complained, "Why don't you even have chicken legs in your royal study? What if you get hungry during the batch of memorials?"
The emperor's head is full of melon seeds and black lines. What's the difference between the imperial study and chicken legs?
Direct contact? Why does he feel that there is no connection at all?
"Um, Senior Huang, do you have any good ideas?" The emperor had no choice but to finish these words, wondering why he, a majestic and dignified person, could be so low-key.
"Oh?" Huang Taixian raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't we just go to the prodigal son of the Hua family?"
"Flower family, prodigal son?" The emperor didn't even think of it for a while. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly reacted, "The boy who was rewarded today?"
Wong Tai Sin nodded with a smile, and then left without looking back.
"Where are you going, senior?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
"I'm going to the imperial dining room to see you. You don't have to entertain me." After saying that, he left secretly.
The emperor sniffed again. Don't ask next time. If you ask, he will just look for chicken legs. This Wong Tai Sin is good at everything, but it doesn't look so reliable. The emperor thought for a long time before finally making up his mind.
On the second day, Xiao Hua and others were woken up by the imperial edict. Before they had time to put on their clothes, Eunuch Qi had already entered the lobby of Hua's house with a large number of young eunuchs. Then Luo Li also walked out, and the four of them stood together.
Okay, let's wait for the decree to be issued.
When Eunuch Qi saw that everyone had gathered, he was about to read it out when he felt something was wrong. So he said: "To receive the imperial edict, you must kneel down devoutly."
However, after he said this, the four little flowers still had no reaction. Wu Zheng even dozed off and said: "You guys go on first, I'll go and take a nap first." After that, he dragged his shoes and went back.
Luochen and Luo Li were not very interested in the emperor either, so they turned around and left without saying a word.
So, Xiao Hua was the only one left. Qi Gonggong's face turned red with anger, and he said to himself that if he, a popular person around the emperor, had ever been so angry, he would definitely complain when he got back.
"Father, do you still want to read?" At this moment, Xiaohua's impatient voice sounded.
Although Eunuch Qi was angry, he still unfolded the imperial edict and read out, regardless of whether Xiao Hua knelt down or not: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed."
"Oh, it's really ink. The urgent matter has been delayed." As she said that, Xiaohua snatched the imperial edict and started to read it.
Eunuch Qi's face was ashen, he pointed at Xiaohua's nose and began to gasp, "You, you, how dare you."
"Pull away." Xiaohua pushed Eunuch Qi impatiently, then turned around and returned to the room.
At this time, several young eunuchs around Eunuch Qi hurriedly came over and said to each other: "Look, who are these people?"
"Yeah, isn't it? If you ask me, these people should all deserve to die."
"Yes, yes."
"Okay, you guys, why didn't you say it just now? Now that everyone is gone, there's no use talking about it anymore." Eunuch Qi gave these little eunuchs a harsh lesson, and then spat in the direction where Xiaohua left.
He spat and said, "Let's wait and see." After that, he left angrily.
Xiaohua took a rough look at the contents of the imperial edict. It probably meant that he wanted to go to the border by himself, and then randomly named himself a general to help defeat the enemy. Good guy, the emperor was ill and sought medical treatment indiscriminately. He had already given up hope.
On one's own body.
He woke up Wu Zheng and called Luo Li over. The four of them got together and began to think about it.
"What do you think the emperor means?" Xiaohua asked first.
As the first one to speak, Wu Zheng said without thinking or almost without thinking: "I must think that I have made a contribution to saving the driver, so I am particularly valued." Wu Zheng's words were so bold that it was rare for Wu Zheng to regain his mood.
After a lot of criticism, Xiaohua simply didn’t say anything to attack her.
Luochen drank his wine without saying a word. The good wine from the prime minister had been delivered yesterday. Then Luochen began to be in a state of drunkenness and dreams, playing the role of Jiu Mengzi all the time.
"I think this matter has something to do with Taoist Huang." Luo Li's words hit the point directly. If it was Huang Taixian's intention, it would be a bit intriguing.
The trip was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. In the afternoon of the same day, another urgent report was sent to the palace. The border had been occupied by the enemy, and the second prince and his men were retreating. The emperor heard that he was so anxious that he got angry.
It is said that Eunuch Qi was scolded by the emperor for chewing the ears of Xiao Hua and others. At this moment, he was kneeling and reflecting! After this incident, Xiao Hua and others had to leave early.
On the journey.
The emperor sent not many troops, only about 30,000 troops. In fact, most of the troops had been sent to the front line as early as the beginning of the war. Today, these troops can be said to be squeezed out through the cracks of teeth.
Xiao Hua is riding majesticly on the horse. Wu Zheng is looking listless, going to the battlefield. Why does this kind of thing have anything to do with him?
Luochen left the wine at Hua's house, and Xiaohua specifically asked him not to drink it again. But it is unclear whether the boy kept it secretly.
Luo Li looked calm, without any disturbance in his heart. No one knew what he was thinking.
After everyone gathered, everyone set off. At this moment, a voice behind them suddenly sounded, "Wu Zheng."
Wu Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He turned around and saw that Mo Han was waving to him. He couldn't tell what Mo Han was thinking, but Wu Zheng was sincerely happy. He raised his riding whip and signaled to the princess.
Then, the distance starts to get farther and farther until it is no longer visible.
Xiaohua frowned, surprised that the princess would come here. But at this moment, she accidentally noticed the smile on Luo Li's face. Xiaohua raised her eyebrows, as if asking, "Did you arrange this?"
Luo Li didn't answer, but the answer seemed self-evident. This woman always kept Xiaohua guessing, which was really interesting!
At this moment, Wu Zheng completely recovered from his previous confusion. He rode a horse and ran to the front of the entire team, swinging the whip like a joy. He looked like a child who had eaten candy, smiling sweetly.
The atmosphere in Wu Zheng's area has indeed improved a lot. However, Xiaohua has never forgotten his mission. He went there this time to defeat the enemy. The list on his shoulders is very heavy!
In the blink of an eye, that summer has passed. In late autumn, yellow leaves have fallen all over the ground. The desolate weather gives people an uneasy feeling. Xiaohua vaguely feels that the process of going this time will not be too easy.
Looking up at the sky, winter is coming. Maybe this battle will last for a long time, maybe until the next spring. The situation ahead is still unknown, but according to reports, the situation is not optimistic. Xiaohua never expected that,
