After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the court began to go to court.On the fifth watch, Xiao Huai got up from the bed and went to court.Tang Shuyi will not get up and wait for her husband to dress and wash like other wives.

She opened her eyes in a daze and said, "Eat something before going out."

"Well, I know, you go to sleep." Xiao Huai put on his clothes lightly and went out. Two of his followers were already waiting outside.After simply washing up and eating something, he rode to court.

When we arrived, the gate of the palace hadn't opened yet, but there were already many officials standing outside.He dismounted and walked over, many officials greeted him with smiles, Xiao Huai greeted each other, and finally stood beside Tang Shubai.And Qi Liangsheng stood on the other side of Tang Shubai.

"Let Shuyi go home later, the old man misses him." Tang Shubai told Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai nodded, "Go down to me and go with her."

Tang Guogong must have something to say to them.

Glancing at Qi Liangsheng, Xiao Huai said again: "Chunwei is coming soon, and Yuchen still has to trouble Mr. Qi."

Qi Liangsheng hummed, but he didn't have the usual cold face.After such a long time, his mentality has also adjusted.It is useless to entangle yourself in things that are destined to have no results.Besides, Xiao Huai was really good to her.

After a while, the gate of the palace opened, and the courtiers entered one after another, standing in accordance with their official positions.After a while, the emperor came, and all the officials saluted and began to discuss the government affairs.

Now Dagan has regained the Rouli country, and the frontier has been stabilized. What should be done is to vigorously develop people's livelihood.Apparently the courtiers also knew this, and the memorials they submitted were basically about people's livelihood.

But the emperor didn't seem to care about it at all. He said he would discuss some suggestions for improving people's livelihood put forward by officials.One renegotiation, do not know when it will be again.The hearts of many courtiers turned cold.

The morning court ended, and the courtiers went out one after another.At this moment, a young eunuch walked up to Xiao Huai, bent over and said with a smile, "Duke Ding, Your Majesty invites you to the imperial study."

Xiao Huai paused, then followed him to the imperial study.When the courtiers saw this, many people's hearts were raised in their throats.Everyone understood that sooner or later there would be a battle between Xiao Huai and the emperor, and they even wanted the two to fight quickly, so that with a result, the court might become clear.

Xiao Huai didn't care what these ministers thought, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's specific intentions now, but he was already prepared, and the soldiers came to stop him.But it is still necessary to move his wife and three children away as soon as possible.

With these in mind, he followed the little eunuch into the imperial study.The emperor did not approve the memorial, but sat on the couch under the window.Xiao Huai saluted him respectfully, the emperor smiled and waved to him, "Xiao Aiqing plays chess with me."

"Yes."

Xiao Huai walked over and sat down opposite him, the emperor had already held the white stones, Xiao Huai picked up the black stones.After the emperor put down a white stone, Xiao Huai casually put a black stone on it.The emperor glanced at the position of the black stone, frowned slightly, and then put another white stone on it.

"When is Xiao Aiqing planning to return to the northwest!" the emperor asked.

Xiao Huai put the chess pieces on the board and said: "Of course I listen to the emperor."

The emperor frowned and looked at the distribution of chess pieces on the chessboard, and said in his mouth: "Since the northwest is stable, Aiqing can go to Beijing to stay a little longer."

"I obey." Xiao Huai said.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, the emperor frowned more and more tightly. Xiao Huai's way of playing chess is really similar to his sixth younger brother!

Xiao Huai acted as if he didn't see his expression, and followed him to the ground. Finally, he landed a piece on the chessboard and said, "Your Majesty, I have won."

The three words "the minister won" can be said to hit the emperor's heart directly.He squinted his eyes to look at Xiao Huai, the killing intent in him was unobstructed.Xiao Huai looked at him calmly, without a trace of fear.

The two monarchs and ministers exchanged glances for a moment, and the emperor withdrew his gaze first, and said with a smile, "Aiqing's chess skills are getting more and more exquisite."

"There is nothing to do on weekdays, just study a lot." Xiao Huai said and got up, "If the emperor has nothing to do, I will retire."

The emperor didn't tell you to go, but you said you would go, which is disrespectful to the emperor.But this kind of guilt is not enough to kill Xiao Huai, the emperor can only endure it.He smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, Aiqing, go back."

Xiao Huai saluted him respectfully again, "Your Majesty will leave."

Then he strode out, and as soon as he left the imperial study, he heard a crisp sound of a glass being smashed on the ground, he sneered, and strode out of the palace.And the emperor in the imperial study was panting heavily while holding the table, and his head was a little dizzy.In recent days, he felt more and more mentally weak.

Jiao Kangsheng came in, saw the emperor's face was pale, and his head was still covered with cold sweat, he immediately shouted: "Emperor physician, pass on the imperial physician."

There was another burst of chaos, and the imperial physicians said that the emperor was too worried and too tired.He prescribed medicine and asked the emperor to drink it.

..........

When Xiao Huai returned home, Tang Shuyi and the others had already had breakfast, but his meals were being prepared in the kitchen.Seeing that he was back, Tang Shuyi immediately asked someone to prepare a meal for him.

"What did the emperor leave you to say?" Tang Shuyi asked while filling him with soup.

"Just tell me not to go back to the northwest in a hurry." Xiao Huai took the soup she handed over, and said again: "I deliberately played chess with him in the way I played chess before."

"Did he find out?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Huai sneered, "I found out, but it's just a suspicion."

Who would have thought that he would live as Xiao Huai?

"Will you tell him in the future?" Tang Shuyi asked again.

Xiao Huai: "We must let him die in peace."

Tang Shuyi smiled, probably not to die in peace, but to be scared to death.

After eating, Xiao Huai said again: "Father-in-law asked us to go there, probably to ask how my preparations are going."

Tang Shuyi hummed, went to the dormitory to tidy up briefly, and the two went to Tang Guogong's mansion together.Tang Guogong saw the two came together, smiled and asked them to sit down, and said directly: "I see that the one above can't bear it anymore, how is your preparation?"

Naturally, Xiao Huai would not hide from Tang Guogong, he said: "There are 6000 soldiers in the camp outside Beijing, and I have hidden nearly 1 soldiers in Bajiao Mountain."

When Tang Guogong heard that he had hidden so many people in Bajiao Mountain, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Okay."

Xiao Huai said again: "He bought Duan Yinghong, my subordinate, and I have sent someone to keep an eye on it. There is also Prince Yong from Rouli Kingdom, if I send a letter, he will send troops. "

Of course, he would not use Prince Yong unless it was a last resort.

Tang Guogong nodded in satisfaction, but still said: "If you can't start a war, you won't start a war. It will be the common people who will suffer."

"Yes." Xiao Huai naturally understood this truth.

"Are you really planning to push Prince Kang up?" Tang Guogong asked again.

Xiao Huai nodded seriously, "I never thought of usurping the throne."

Tang Guogong sighed, "It can be regarded as an explanation to the late emperor."

When Xiao Huai heard him mention the late emperor, he clenched his fists, yes! It was an explanation to the late emperor.
