The new crown prince of Daning, naturally wanted to send a copy of the imperial edict to the counties and counties of various states to announce it to the world, so the news quickly spread to Liangzhou.
As soon as the court envoys left, Xiao Huang shut himself in the study alone, not seeing anyone, not drinking a drop of water, not eating a grain of rice.
He sat quietly in front of the desk by himself, expressionless, as if he was in meditation like an old monk, but he didn't know how turbulent it was in his heart.
At this moment, there was only endless sorrow and resentment left in his heart.
What makes him sad is himself. He abandoned his childhood sweethearts for the sake of a fortune teller's words, "destiny belongs to him." In the end, it was still a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and the emperor finally chose to make Xiao Jie the crown prince of Daning.
At this moment, he even had a trace of regret in his heart. Why didn't he elope with Su Yao? In this way, he would not lose Su Yao, and Uncle Fu and concubine mother would not die...
Thinking of Su Yao, Uncle Fu and his concubine mother, Xiao Huang felt endless hatred for Xiao Jie in an instant. If Xiao Jie hadn't seized his love, how could he have lost Su Yao; if Xiao Jie hadn't set up a trap, Fu How could uncle and concubine mother die!
He hated his father's partiality and injustice even more. He didn't understand how he was inferior to Xiao Jie, whether in terms of talent or merit. Why did his father choose Xiao Jie instead of himself.
Since the father never intended to make himself the crown prince, why did he give himself the hope of becoming the master of the East Palace again and again? Is it because he was born as a maid?Isn't he his own son?
"boom!"
Xiao Huang couldn't hold back his resentment any longer, he punched heavily on the desk in front of him, unexpectedly punching out a long crack in the desk in front of him.
Xiao Huang was even more furious in his heart, he was able to smash a book case into pieces with one palm before, but since he had not suffered any serious injuries, for some reason his strength was not as good as before, he couldn't even do anything to a book case.
"Your Highness, may I come in?"
Lieutenant General Wang Sheng's voice came from outside the door, his tone full of hesitation and concern.
Xiao Huang secretly sighed, now that Xiao Jie is in the East Palace, people who want to cling to him are like crucian carp crossing the river, only a few old subordinates like himself are left who will never leave him.
"come in."
With Xiao Huang's permission, Wang Sheng dared to open the door and enter. He looked at Xiao Huang, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Xiao Huang knew that Wang Sheng must have heard something outside the door, but he didn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of his subordinates, so he just nodded and wrote lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the light in the study room is too dark, I don't believe it's too dark to call him." Just go to the desk."
Wang Sheng looked at the long crack on the desk, and was silent for a moment. Although he guessed something, he absolutely couldn't explain it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and depressing for a moment, Xiao Huang could only change the subject and ask, "Why did you come to see me?"
Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion sent someone over, saying that the Metropolitan Governor Wang has something important to ask His Highness to come to his mansion."
Speaking of this, Wang Sheng couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Huang nervously. He knew that Wang Cheng sent someone to call Xiao Huang to his residence because of Xiao Jie's entry into the East Palace. As Xiao Huang's confidant, how could he not Knowing what a heavy blow this matter is to Xiao Huang, otherwise Xiao Huang would not have locked himself in the study alone.
Maybe it's because after venting just now, Xiao Huang's resentment has calmed down quite a bit. After listening to Wang Sheng's words, his face didn't show any turmoil. He just nodded and said calmly: "I see, you Send someone to call back and tell Governor Wang that I will be there later."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate will do it now."
Seeing Xiao Huang's indifference, Wang Sheng was finally relieved, and then he was ordered to leave the study.
"Wait a moment!"
For some reason, Xiao Huang suddenly called Wang Sheng to stop, with a solemn face and deep eyes, as if he had made some great determination.
Facing Wang Sheng who was puzzled, Xiao Huang didn't explain immediately, but got up and left the desk, went forward to close the door, then looked at Wang Sheng, and said slowly: "I have one more thing to do. You go and help me."
Seeing Xiao Huang's actions like this, Wang Sheng knew that he must have something important to confess to him, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and said sternly: "Your Highness, please just give orders, and your subordinates will definitely do it."
Xiao Huang leaned close to Wang Sheng's ear and whispered a few words, but the expression on Wang Sheng's face gradually became bewildered and uneasy.
"Remember, this matter is of great importance. You must choose some trustworthy people to handle it. You must not leak a little bit of information, so as not to startle the snake."
After explaining to Wang Sheng, Xiao Huang did not forget to pat him on the shoulder again, emphasizing it again.
Wang Sheng, however, looked hesitant and uneasy, and did not respond for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang couldn't help but look down, but he didn't get angry, he just said lightly: "If you think it's difficult, forget it, I can find someone else to do it."
Wang Sheng fell down on his knees in front of Xiao Huang with a "plop", and said with tears in his eyes: "The heavens can learn from me, I, Wang Sheng, have always been loyal to His Highness, and have entrusted my wealth and life to His Highness long ago, and never dared to have second thoughts. The matter is too dangerous, and my subordinates are worried that if something goes wrong, His Highness will be implicated, and His Highness will be harmed instead."
Hearing what Wang Sheng said, Xiao Huang's expression turned pale, he helped Wang Sheng up, then sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how dangerous this matter is, but until now, Xiao Jie has entered the East Palace, except Soldiers are in danger, do you think I still have a choice?"
Wang Sheng heard the helplessness in Xiao Huang's words, he no longer hesitated, nodded heavily and said: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will deal with it immediately, if there is any mistake, this subordinate will fully bear it, and will never be involved To Your Highness."
After saying that, Wang Sheng clasped his fists at Xiao Huang, turned around and opened the study door to leave.
"Wang Sheng, have you ever regretted following me?"
Looking at Wang Sheng's resolute back, Xiao Huang couldn't help asking.
Wang Sheng's footsteps couldn't help but stagnate, but he didn't turn his head, but turned his back to Xiao Huang, his tone was full of determination: "The man is alive, since he has to meet the Lord, he should swear to follow him to the death, how can he bear it."
After finishing speaking, Wang Sheng left the study without looking back, as if he was afraid that he would cry if it was too late.
Xiao Huang couldn't help being moved in his heart, but then he let out a long sigh, with a bitter smile on his face.
Can I really be regarded as a wise master?Is it really worth others to follow to the death?
As soon as the court envoys left, Xiao Huang shut himself in the study alone, not seeing anyone, not drinking a drop of water, not eating a grain of rice.
He sat quietly in front of the desk by himself, expressionless, as if he was in meditation like an old monk, but he didn't know how turbulent it was in his heart.
