I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

Chapter 195 Li Wei

There are bad people in the court who want to divorce their father and son. If he is a little stupid and listens to these slanders, then Lao Jiu can live in peace in southern Xinjiang?

"I ask you, did the people of Qingshui County really fight with your army? How many casualties did your army have? How many civilian casualties?" asked the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, the king of Nanjiang suffocated the people of Qingshui County in time, so that the conflict was avoided!" Huo Xing replied.

"So, you mean, it was just a misunderstanding?" the old emperor asked.

Huo Xing opened his mouth, the emperor said so, he could only nod obediently: "It should be just a misunderstanding, maybe the last general is worrying too much!"

"Are you worrying too much?" The old emperor sneered.

"Huo Xing, do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Facing the old emperor's sudden roar, Huo Xing was so frightened that his body was trembling: "Your Majesty, the last general is also thinking about my Dahua country and society, and the last general has no intention of deceiving the emperor!"

"Sowing dissension and slandering heroes, you are not deceiving the emperor, what are you?" The old emperor Longyan was furious.

Immediately, he waved his hand: "Come here, drag Huo Xing out, and pay him two hundred sticks!"

Hearing the order, the guards waiting outside the palace rushed up and dragged Huo Xing out.

"Your Majesty, the general knows his mistake, the general knows his mistake!" Huo Xing cried bitterly and begged for mercy, but the expression of the old emperor did not change at all.

Not long after, Huo Xing's mournful wailing came from outside the hall.

All the ministers knelt on the ground and sweated profusely. Your Majesty is killing chickens and monkeys!

Ordinary people, with weak bones, don't need to hit a hundred sticks to be killed. Huo Xing is a general, with a strong body, but he can't resist two hundred sticks!

Not long after, the wailing outside the hall stopped, and a guard walked in quickly, knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Huo Xing died at 130 sticks!"

The old emperor nodded coldly, and immediately waved his hands.

The guards retreated, and the old emperor glanced at Li Xu with cold eyes.

Li Xu noticed something, and his body broke out in cold sweat unconsciously.

"Third son, as a prince, you should set a good example for the ministers. As a minister, just do your own thing well!"

Li Xu lowered his head, his face full of disbelief, this was the first time his father had warned him so solemnly above the court!

"Father, my son has been taught!"

The old emperor is ready to pass the throne to Li An. Although he failed to keep Li An in the capital last time, he will first help Li An establish his power in the court.

After reprimanding Li Xu, the old emperor cast a cold glance at the officials, "Back the court!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

When the old emperor returned to the harem, he immediately walked towards the queen's palace excitedly.

"His Majesty is here!"

"See Your Majesty."

All the maids and eunuchs in the queen's palace knelt respectfully to greet her, and Empress Qi walked out quickly with the support of Princess Lanwei.

Princess Lanwei never forgot that brother Jiu had told her about herself.

These days, Empress Qi didn't drink the medicine sent by the Imperial Hospital anymore. What she drank was the ancestral secret recipe prepared for her by the doctor brought by Li Xin, which was brewed by Princess Lanwei herself.

After these days of recuperation, Empress Qi's figure no longer looks frail, and her face has a lot more blood.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"I have seen my father."

Empress Qi saluted the old emperor with the support of Princess Lanwei.

Seeing this, the old emperor quickly walked over to support Empress Qi: "If the empress is unwell, there is no need to salute."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Father, why did you suddenly think of coming to the Empress's Palace today?" Princess Lanwei blinked her bright eyes.

Hearing this, the old emperor gave Princess Lanwei a dissatisfied look: "I have to report to you where I am going?"

Princess Lanwei was depressed, and stared at her father resentfully, why did Brother Nine come back for the emperor's grandmother's birthday, and her father became fond of teasing others?

Is it really close to Ninth Brother Hei?

The old emperor directly ignored Princess Lanwei's gaze, took Empress Qi's hand and led her towards the house: "Queen, I have good news for you, the children you bring up are doing well! "

Afterwards, the old emperor and queen sat down in the room, and Princess Lanwei obediently poured tea for them.

The old emperor talked endlessly with Empress Qi about Li An's great achievements, and Empress Qi listened quietly.

She was not as excited as the old emperor, but the shallow corners of her mouth were also expressing the joy and comfort in her heart.

"Father, Brother Ninth is so powerful? Did he really repel the 30 allied forces of the Nanling Kingdoms, and subdue the Nanling Kingdoms in a very short period of time?"

Princess Lanwei was also excited when she heard it. She sat directly next to the old emperor and asked excitedly.

"That's right, don't you look at who the old nine is, my son, Li Dingbang, can he be so bad?"

Seeing her father being so embarrassing, Princess Lanwei shrugged her shoulders: "Yes, brothers like the third and fourth brothers are also very good, they are all from your father."

In an instant, the old emperor's face drooped, and he was happy at first. Why did this precious girl mention these two unlucky things to herself?

The old emperor suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and looked at Princess Lanwei with a fake smile: "Lanwei, I heard that when you went to southern Xinjiang last time, you went to An'er's academy to study obediently.

Why did I hear from Grand Tutor Yu that after you came back, I couldn't find you anymore? "

Taifu Yu was the gentleman in charge of teaching the old emperor's heirs. Li An and Li Xin also studied with Taifu Yu at the beginning.

Upon hearing this, Princess Lanwei instantly stood up. Father wouldn't let him go to school again, would he?

She is very busy every day, she has to take care of the empress and earn money, how can she have time to attend school?

"Father, I still have something to do, and I'm leaving." After Princess Lanwei left these words, she slipped away without looking back.

The old emperor withdrew his gaze from Princess Lanwei, then looked at Empress Qi, and waved his hands to make all the court ladies back down.

Only then did he look at Queen Qi with a serious expression: "Queen, I plan to make An'er the new crown prince!"

This was the first time that the old emperor took the initiative to express his desire to make Li An the crown prince in front of others.

Empress Qi was very surprised that the old emperor would tell her these things, she smiled slightly, and refilled the tea for the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, excuse me for talking too much, An'er may not have such intentions." Empress Qi said slowly.

As a mother, Li An's words and deeds can make her perceive Li An's true thoughts.

Moreover, she didn't want her child to be involved in the vortex of the imperial power struggle again.

"Alas~" The old emperor sighed, he also knew that this bastard Li An didn't mean that.

"Didn't An'er want to take the queen to the southern border for a stroll? When the government is not so busy, I will take you to the southern border.

At that time, queen, you can relax and help me to persuade An'er. "

Empress Qi was shocked again, is Your Majesty willing to take herself out of the palace?

Although she is a queen, she has been lonely in this palace for more than ten years, and her original deep love and enthusiasm have long been lost in her heart.

The only thing she wants now is some company from this husband, but she also knows that her husband is the emperor, and this is just her extravagant wish.

The old emperor met Empress Shangqi's gaze, and patted the back of his palm, "The empress has taken good care of her body these days, don't let me miss you any more."

Perhaps the old emperor was just a polite remark, but Empress Qi's eyes were filled with tears.

She nodded with a sob: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Chapter 196

On this day, an imperial decree arrived in southern Xinjiang.

The imperial decree arrived in the morning, and Li An received it at noon...

The main reason is that Li Xin, a drunkard, hadn't left yet, so he had to drag Li An to drink for most of the night last night, which made Li An feel the torture of a hangover.

When Li An learned that the imperial decree had arrived, he got up from the bed and Liu Yiyi helped him tie his belt and went out, the old emperor's personal eunuch was almost bald by the sun...

Li An smiled calmly and waved his hand at the old eunuch: "Morning, father-in-law, have you been waiting for a long time?"

The old eunuch smiled helplessly, and bowed to Li An: "My lord, this old slave didn't wait long. Now that my lord got up, this old slave will read the imperial decree."

"Then the king will go through the process." Li An yawned, planning to go through the process and kneel to receive the order.

Seeing this, the old eunuch quickly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has said that you don't need to kneel down to accept the order."

Before Li An received the order, he didn't kneel down. He claimed that it was the old emperor who authorized him not to kneel when he saw the order. In order not to let others catch Li An, the old emperor specially added this to Li An.

"That's fine, father-in-law, you can announce the decree. I still have a headache. After receiving the decree, I will go back and lie down."

Looking at Li An who was so laid back, the old eunuch still smiled helplessly. If other people were like this, it would be disrespectful to the imperial power.

But who made this prince the most beloved son of His Majesty?

He was also surprised.

Just when the old eunuch was about to read out the decree, Li Xin, the drunkard, rushed out of the room without even having time to put on his outer shirt.

"Ninth brother, is there a decree?" Li Xin rushed to Li An's side in bewilderment, patted his chest vigorously: "It's so confusing, I almost missed the decree."

He is not like Li An, who is favored and confident. If he does something out of order, he will really be beaten by his father.

"Give me the will, why are you joining in the fun?" Li An gave Li Xin a blank look, if it wasn't for the will, he would have to practice with Li Xin first.

Damn, I said it last night, I stopped drinking, and he was going back to the house to sleep with Yiyi.

This kid had to drag himself to drink, and he couldn't say no to a man in one mouthful. Li An was so excited that he drank most of the night.

In the end, the two of them drank into small party dishes, and now their heads still hurt like hell...

It should be because I didn't love this younger brother well, so he drifted away!

Seeing Li An say this, Li Xin quietly whispered in Li An's ear: "Brother, no matter whose order it is, everyone who sees the imperial order must kneel down and follow the order, otherwise it will be disrespectful and will be dealt with." of."

"Just you understand?" Li An gave Li Xin a white look.

Immediately, Li Xin hurriedly led a group of people to kneel down to receive the order, and Li An also clasped his fists in a formal salute.

Seeing that the two brothers had finished moaning, the old eunuch began to read the imperial decree.

"Emperor Yuanjing's edict

My son, Li An, defeated the 30 coalition army of the Nanling states, defeated the enemy by ten times the number, and achieved outstanding military exploits...

... blah blah blah...

... blah blah blah...

The king of southern Xinjiang was specially granted the title of King Chen, and the eight counties in the southern border were granted special titles, rewarding silver... rewarding silk and cloth...

Command 20 troops, sit in the southern border!

Appreciate this! "

Li An had a terrible headache, and he only listened to the content of the imperial decree. Finally, it was over, and he took the imperial decree with both hands: "I accept the decree to thank you."

Li An received the imperial edict, and the old eunuch saluted Li An again: "Congratulations to King Chen.

King Chen, where will His Majesty's silver reward slave be sent to you? "

"Just send me to the warehouse of the bank. Father-in-law will come all the way, eat and drink before leaving. I haven't sobered up yet, so I won't greet you."

As he spoke, Li An waved at Liu Yiyi with the imperial decree: "Yiyi, go to sleep."

Li An's reaction was so calm that the old eunuch was completely stunned.

Such a big reward, is this the only reaction?

Only Li Xin looked excited.

Ninth Brother has been granted the title of One-word Prince, and the entire southern border will be Ninth Brother's fief from now on.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that brother Jiu can now command 20 troops.

What is the concept of 20?Take Brother Jiu's record of defeating the 30 troops of the Nanling Kingdoms with a force of [-] to calculate.

Give Ninth Brother 20 troops, wouldn't Nine Brothers be able to defeat 20 million troops with 200 troops?
