"Just now, a police officer sent a message to Wei Chen that there was something strange happening in the third camp of the Xu family army." Han Yan reported in a low voice: "According to the investigation, the close entourage of the Duke of Zhen held military talismans and mobilized a thousand elites out of the camp to go there.
Coming from the direction of the palace..."
"What?!"
Emperor Qingming stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Is he going to take advantage of the chaos to rebel in the name of protecting the emperor?"
The queen in the bedroom couldn't help but frown.
——If you really want to rebel, why did you bother to save you just now?
What kind of selective blindness is this?
What kind of rebellion could a mere thousand men and horses cause?
If you really want to do this kind of thing, why don't you try to get it right in one go?
"Your Majesty, please be patient..." Han Yan said quickly: "Now the thousand men and horses have returned to the military camp. I think the Duke of Zhen Guo had just planned to send troops to find the young master in the mansion, and he had no disobedience.
.”
Once the person is found, the soldiers will naturally not have to come over.
Emperor Qingming's expression softened slightly, but the coldness in his eyes did not dissipate: "Don't you have any disobedience?"
He sneered and sat back.
"Today he mobilized troops right under my nose, but he didn't ask me for any instructions at all. Such a kingless, arrogant person, how can I use him with peace of mind!"
Han Yan lowered his eyes and did not dare to answer.
Listening to this voice that was particularly clear in the night, the queen also sneered in her heart.
Why did Duke Zhen Guo mobilize his troops? Did he really have no idea?
If he really comes to ask for instructions, out of uneasiness, he may start to obstruct it in a pretentious way - human life is at stake, and the Xu family only has a grandson, who can have the time to act with him here?
And even if he asked for instructions, as long as Zhenguo made this information public, he would still be unhappy in every way, and the result would not be any different from what it is now.
I only saw Duke Zhen Guo trying to mobilize his troops, but I couldn’t see why the other party was forced to mobilize his troops personally, nor could I see who saved his life from the assassin tonight——
For such people, it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts.
There is no cure for a person who is blind.
And this heart is not only blind, but also ridiculously rotten.
It was clear that he was suspicious of the loyal minister first, and even had the idea of taking action. In the end, he forced the loyal minister to divorce him, and he immediately jumped up in anger and accused him - I already knew that he had different intentions!
The emperor has done this, who can escape?
"It is indeed an eventful time..." After a while, Emperor Qingming let out a long breath, but his eyes became darker and colder: "My second brother will arrive in Beijing in half a month.
"
He originally thought that as long as he found the imperial edict, the threat would be cut off.
But he was still worried.
Without the edict, the other party would not be able to justifiably take away everything from him. But if the other party would rather not have his rightful name, but also want to rebel against him, how should he deal with it?
Therefore, the imperial edict is certainly important...
But the root of the problem still lies in those people - those who kept him awake from nightmares at night, like a beast with its fangs exposed, always peeping at him!
…
At the same moment, Zhen Guogong and others just put down their chopsticks.
After the meal, the family sat in the hall and drank a cup of tea, and the old man told his grandson a few words.
Xu Mingshi listened very carefully.
He always treated his elders with sincerity and respect, but the difference now was that he felt more guilty.
This time it was him who worried his family, and judging from the development of the whole thing, his grandfather's attitude towards the current emperor seemed to have changed from what he thought - or in other words, he had never been very concerned about it.
Clear understanding.
Especially Xu Mingyi seems to know this very well...
——The sister who, in his eyes, has always been particularly unreliable to him, the sister who makes him worry about everything.
But he is also eleven this year.
There are some things that he must learn to bear even if no one urges him.
With these thoughts in his mind, the boy's childish face looked inexplicably serious, befitting his age.
Xu Mingyi, who was sitting next to him, glanced at her younger brother from time to time. Perhaps because of the close relationship between brother and sister, she could also vaguely sense the boy's thoughts at this time.
In fact, when she was first reborn, she asked her father a question. She asked her father if her family protected her and Mingshi too well.
The father replied to her with a smile, like a lazy big cat - aren't children meant to be protected?
She then complained to her father: But he won’t grow up like this.
Her father still smiled and said to her: Don't worry, you will grow up, and love will push people forward, and they can move more steadily.
She didn't know how to answer the call at that time.
Later, I thought about it, if there had not been a sudden big change in the family in the previous life, she and Mingshi might have grown up slowly in love as their father said.
But things are unpredictable and there is no time.
But later on, she slowly grew up alone. Although she suffered from hatred, what pushed her forward step by step since her rebirth was not hatred, but precisely the family members behind her who loved her.
.
Now, Mingshi seems to be slowly being pushed forward by this "love".
What my father said must be right.
This way you will be more stable.
It's just that in the last life, they lacked good luck.
"It's getting late." Having said what needed to be said, Duke Zhenguo stood up and said, "You have been tired all day, so go back and have a good rest."
Mrs. Cui stood up and said, "Father, go back and rest first. Zhao Zhao should go back too."
Then, he looked at his son: "I want to talk to you tomorrow..."
Thinking that his daughter-in-law must have been frightened, it was normal for a mother to be frightened after her child had experienced such a dangerous situation, so the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and left with his granddaughter.
"What does a mother say to her son?"
Seeing that his mother had sent all the maids and servants outside to guard him first, Xu Mingshi asked warily.
I know best what kind of person my mother is, and her current demeanor does not seem like she is still worried about him.
Sure enough, I heard Ms. Cui ask in a lowered voice——
"What is the situation between your sister and Wu Shisun? Do you understand?"
"...What could happen?" Xu Mingshi sat up straighter, as if doing so would make him appear upright: "I'm not the kind of person who gossips about people's private affairs behind their backs."
A true gentleman would never do such a thing.
"Of course mother knows that you are not that kind of person...could it be that mother is?"
When the word "yes" came to Xu Mingshi's lips, he couldn't help but swallow it back.
But God's will played a trick on him, and he didn't have time to stop nodding.
"..." Cui showed a gentle smile.
My son has just been found and cannot be beaten.
He could only suppress his temper and say seductively: "But this is a life-long matter for your sister. After all, my mother has been here before and can help her with advice. What do you guys know? Don't let it get messed up by any further delays...
There are strengths and weaknesses, don’t you think that’s the truth?”
