Yesterday, Tang Shuyi asked someone to book this location in this teahouse. The window is close to the street, and you can have a panoramic view of the street when you turn your head, which is exactly what Xiao Yuzhu wanted to see her father in advance.

They waited in the teahouse for a while, and the emperor's procession came to greet the triumphant soldiers. There was joy in the street. Xiao Yuzhu lay on the window lattice and looked out. He couldn't help waving his hands and calling daddy.

The crisp voice successfully attracted many people, and naturally Xiao Huai was also attracted.He followed the voice and saw the girl with a bright smile waving at him, calling her daddy, and he couldn't help waving at the girl too.

Xiao Yuzhu was even happier when she saw it, and turned to Tang Shuyi and said, "Mother, mother, daddy saw me, daddy saw me."

Seeing her so happy, Tang Shuyi put a smile on her face, and looked down the window, meeting a pair of deep eyes.She froze for a moment, then nodded politely at the other party.

Xiao Huai did not expect to meet Tang Shuyi's eyes. When he was a little at a loss, he saw the other party nodding to him, and he nodded immediately, and then the two looked away, as if what happened just now hadn't happened.

But this is just the appearance, and only they know how complicated their hearts are.

"Your little girl is already this big." The emperor also saw Xiao Yuzhu, sighed and said to Xiao Huai: "At the palace banquet before, this child suffered some grievances, I really couldn't bear to see it, I made her the county lord and gave her a rich place as her fief."

After hearing his words, Xiao Huai sneered in his heart.He already knew about that matter from the mouths of brothers Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuchen.The emperor was as hypocritical as ever. It was obvious that the little girl was involved in the battle in his harem and almost lost her life, but he said lightly that he had suffered some grievances here.

He always thought of this in his heart, but he still said in a respectful tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor turned his head and glanced at him. He really couldn't figure out Xiao Huai's heart. Could it be that he really didn't have any rebellious heart?

He didn't believe it, just now Xiao Huai gave him a slap in the face.Thinking of this, he secretly hated in his heart, secretly hated why he fell to the ground in a panic at that time.

The two monarchs and ministers had their own thoughts along the way, and soon entered the palace.When he arrived at the court hall, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials below, his heart was filled with pride.

He spoke impassionedly, and he said: "Xiao Huai has been lurking in the enemy camp for three years. He has worked hard and made such great achievements for me. Xiao Qing can be said to be the number one hero in my career. He was named the Duke of Xiaohuai and bestowed the title Definitely. Another reward of [-] taels of gold and ten hectares of land..."

The emperor's series of rewards once again expressed his favor to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai knelt down to thank Xiao Huai, the emperor got up and walked to Xiao Huai, bent down and helped him up, "Xiao Qing is my hero, your great achievements will never be forgotten by the common people."

"I'm terrified." Xiao Huai said immediately.

"This is what Ai Qing deserves."

.........

The monarch and his ministers were friendly, and the courtiers also had smiles on their faces, but everyone knew what was going on.Xiao Huai said "take it down" at the gate of the city, but it was a blatant disarm.

After the emperor rewarded Xiao Huai, he began to reward other generals. Then when it was lunch time, the emperor held a big banquet for the soldiers in the northwest.At the banquet, everyone toasted and raised money, and the courtiers went to Xiao Huai to congratulate him on his promotion to Duke Ding.

Xiao Huai clinked glasses with all the ministers, but they all replaced wine with tea. His explanation was: "There are important matters to deal with later, so I can't drink wine now."

As for the important matters, the courtiers knew very well that the Tai Tuo had been imprisoned now.It's just that everyone didn't expect that the Tai Tuo actually colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country.What about the eldest prince?Did the First Prince participate in what the Taifu did?

In fact, there is no need to think about it, the First Prince has participated, after all, everything the Tai Tuo has done these years is for the First Prince to be able to ascend to that position.It just depends on whether the First Prince will admit it or not.

The banquet also came to an end in a joyous atmosphere, the emperor got up first, looked at Xiao Huai and said, "Xiao Aiqing and I came to the Imperial Study."

The emperor got up and left the banquet hall, Xiao Huai followed.The courtiers looked at the backs of the two, and the four words "the sky is about to change" flashed in their minds.

Here, Xiao Huai followed the emperor into the imperial study, and after sitting down, the emperor asked Xiao Huai what happened to the Taifu collaborating with the enemy, Xiao Huai said:

"From the correspondence between Jiang Xiuming and Marshal Lu Xinghai of the Rouli Kingdom, it can be seen that Jiang Xiuming felt that the eldest prince had no hope of succeeding to the throne, so he wanted to use the army of the Rouli Kingdom to force the palace. But Lu Xinghai's request was to kill the minister."

Taifu's name is Jiang Xiuming.

After hearing Xiao Huai's words, the emperor clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, "You are a traitor!"

Xiao Huai glanced at him, expressionless, and said: "Lu Xinghai sent the two female spies who had been trained for many years to Cheng Yuquan in the form of selling their bodies to bury their grandparents. Cheng Yuquan also used the excuse of exchanging horses for the two The spies were given to Chen. Chen sensed that something was wrong at the time, so he put the two spies in the backyard to guard, and gave the other side the convenience to let them steal the fake defense map.

The subject originally wanted to confuse the enemy with a fake map, but he didn't expect that before the two spies sent out the fake defense map, Lu Xinghai suddenly challenged our army to enter the palace.The minister led troops to meet the enemy, but was secretly injured by Cheng Yuquan and fell into the river.That Cheng Yuquan has been imprisoned by the minister. "

After hearing his words, the emperor frowned and thought for a while, "I remember that not long after the news of your death came, two concubines were sent from the northwest."

Xiao Huai nodded, "Yes, those two are spies trained by Lu Xinghai. However, I heard from Yu Ming that those two have already died of illness."

"Did you die?" the emperor asked back.

Xiao Huai: "Yes."

The emperor didn't ask any more questions, but guessed in his heart that the two people probably didn't die of illness as simple as that.

"The person who insisted on sending those two concubines to Beijing is Su Mingchang." Xiao Huai said again.

The emperor frowned, and Xiao Huai explained to him, "This person is the grain and grass supervisor. After the investigation by the minister, this person is obviously the second prince, but he is actually working for the first prince."

The emperor sat there without speaking, but his face was clouded. It was obvious that his eldest son wanted to frame his second son.Although it is common for brothers to fight against each other in the royal family, it is a shameful thing to be exposed.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Huai raised the corners of his lips in a mocking arc.

"Bring Jiang Xiuming up." The emperor's voice was tired and angry, his son was just stupid, and he wanted to force the palace.This is because he didn't die fast enough!
