Come on, Your Highness

The next five days were spent slowly under the worries of Emperor Tiangan, the wait and see of all the officials, and some secret expectations.

In the early morning of this day, the gates of the capital opened slowly as before, and the people and caravans lined up entered the city in an orderly manner through the inspection of the guarding soldiers.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped from the end of the official road, and did not slow down until it reached the city gate.

The man on the horse was dressed as a guard of the imperial army. He walked through the crowd to the gate of the city. He didn't dismount, but took out his identity badge and shouted: "A letter from Jiangdong, ordered by His Royal Highness, return to Beijing!"

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the morning court is going on.

The courtiers stood in the hall, all cautiously, bowing their heads nervously, not daring to make unnecessary movements, even if they yawned, they would hold back their yawns, for fear of accidentally blocking the emperor's eyes and being reprimanded .

Even generals who have never had anything to do with themselves did not dare to close their eyes and take a nap, listening quietly as a chicken to a minister answering the emperor's question with fear.

"So, I don't know, I'm not sure, maybe..." Every time the emperor said a word, his tone became colder, but the minister was sweating more and more, and he was about to tremble. In the end, he knelt down with a plop, "The emperor forgives you!"

"Crack!" The armrest of the dragon chair was slapped heavily, and the bead curtain on the emperor's forehead shook, and a wave of anger surged up, and he scolded: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything, I don't know anything. I don’t know about the third question, but you dare to take the paper while patting your head, are you waiting for me to investigate it for you? When an official is so confused, it’s like a vegetarian meal, what use is it for you!”

These words are already quite harsh. The official Jijiyingying is to gain the respect of the emperor and rise up step by step, but now he is directly denied by the public, declared incompetent, and his reputation is ruined. Not to mention, his future career is almost ruined.

If he had been more rigid, he might have committed suicide in such shame and indignation.

However, at this time, no one dared to say a word for him, and everyone was afraid that the anger would burn on their own heads in front of the quail.

He fell down tightly on the ground and shouted: "The minister is guilty."

But the emperor was still not satisfied, and his sharp eyes swept across the courtiers below one by one: "Everyone speaks better than anyone else, what is for the country, for the people, and for me! A small matter can't be done well, and a big matter will be messed up." Excuse me, it’s just absurd to still have such absurd excerpts sent up until now!”

He threw the bag on the ground, and said with a sneer: "Do you think he is the only one? He is stupid, and he doesn't know that he was used as a gun, and someone is even worse. Use him to test me! Oh, this kind of crooked thinking is really good. He moves dexterously, relying on my kindness and softness, and playing on the wind at every turn, this ability is higher than anyone else! But how come no one finds out that Jiangzhou is tricky? What has become at this time? Deaf? Blind? Dumb? "

The corners of Emperor Tiangan's eyes turned red when he thought of Xiao Hong.

His eyes were black and bloodshot, his eyes were cold and irritable in front of others, but he tossed and turned behind him, and a ring of blisters formed on his mouth unknowingly.

"I'm still too merciful..."

He has not used the butcher knife for a long time, making these people forget what awe is.

Sitting on the dragon chair, he looked at the black head, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Where did the ministers dare to stand still, they all knelt down and bowed their heads to apologize: "The emperor calm down!"

Xiao Hong and Xiao Yi knelt down, looked anxiously at the emperor and begged: "Father, calm down, don't be angry!"

Emperor Tiangan's eyes then fell on them, and saw their earnest and worried eyes, and of course there was a trace of fear.

The emperor now has many sons, except for those who died young, there are almost two hands full of survivors.

They are obviously filial and considerate, and they are already able to share the king's worries, but after all, they are still not as important as the eldest son in his heart.

This realization made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Huang Gonggong caught a glimpse of Emperor Tiangan's hand clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, he couldn't bear it, so he presumptuously said: "Your Majesty, it's better to retreat from the court."

Emperor Tiangan took a deep breath and stood up.

Eunuch Huang shook the floating dust: "Back——"

As soon as he sang this word, he heard a voice approaching from a distance.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Jiangdong!"

It was like a sound of nature, and the emperor's footsteps were stunned in place.

The guard who reported the letter walked in quickly from the gate of the main hall, passed through the kneeling civil and military officials, and before reaching Bibi Dan, he knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England has escaped from danger, and Jiang Dong The army took down the Lu family and all the officials in Jiangzhou together, and ordered the subordinates to come and report."

He spoke clearly and his voice was sonorous, and he could hear especially clearly in the silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden news.

It wasn't until Emperor Tiangan sat back on the dragon chair all of a sudden, and the bead curtain in front of his forehead shook violently, making a collision, that everyone realized it.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of England is safe and well, this is great news!" Wei Guogong suddenly said loudly.

At the beginning of his speech, all civil and military officials shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to your highness!"

The voice was neat and loud, and it also showed the joy from the heart.

After five days of fear, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The ministers felt that they had saved their lives following the escape of the King of England.

Eunuch Huang's eyes were moist, and he sniffed: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England is a lucky man, and with your protection, nothing will happen. Look, this servant is sure."

Emperor Tiangan looked at the guard, and his eyes behind the bead curtain slowly became moist.

He nodded slowly, his lips moved, and finally said a word: "Okay."

"...The four sons were ordered by His Highness to go to the brothel, secretly contacted the Jiangdong Army with the help of the girl from Chunfang Pavilion, and agreed with General Huang to rescue His Highness and many young masters on the day of Qixi Festival. His Highness pretended to be infatuated with Lu Jiawu that day. Miss, go out with her and leave Lu’s house, and take a boat on the fairy lake. At the same time, the Jiangdong army was caught off guard, broke through the city gate, rescued several young masters in Chunfang Pavilion, surrounded Lu’s house all the way, and finally went all the way to rescue His Highness It's just that the Lu family is vigilant, and they are more guarded against His Highness, and they are ambitious. After discovering that the matter was revealed, instead of pleading guilty, they directly shot and killed His Highness..."

This guard was the one who survived the storm. Although he only suffered flesh and blood injuries, when he thinks about it now, he still remembers it vividly and is terrified.

"The painting boat was shot by a rocket, and it caught fire in an instant. His Highness had to lead his subordinates to jump into the lake. Fortunately, the storm was raging and the sky was dark. The Lu family was not accurate enough to see the people in the lake. Feeling like shooting an arrow. His Highness changed clothes with the guards again, so he was not shot like a target, but he was still hit by two arrows in the back and hit a rock on his forehead..."

In the Qingzheng Hall, the guards [-] told about the danger of that day. His voice was cold and his tone was flat, but even so, Emperor Tiangan was very worried.

Xiao Hong grew up so big, how had he ever suffered such an injury or faced such a dangerous situation.

Even the black bears in the Xishan paddock back then were like drizzle compared to this incident.

"Then what's next, tell me how to get out of danger, brother!" Xiao Ming urged, with anxiety in his eyes.

"Yeah, don't be fooled, what should I do if I bump into it, is it serious?" Xiao Yi asked with concern.

The guard continued: "There is an island in the lake next to it. The subordinates grabbed His Highness in time and sent him up. The storm was extremely violent, the boat was shaking, and it was easy to roll over. The Lu family couldn't do anything even if they searched, so they could only Give up. After one night, the storm stopped, Master He brought the Jiangdong Army to search, and His Highness was out of danger. There were eight people when we went ashore, but in the end only six people survived. Your Majesty, this is what happened. "

Emperor Tiangan's pupils shrank slightly, but he forcibly calmed down. He asked, "How is Hong'er injured?"

"When this subordinate left Jiangzhou, His Highness was recuperating in bed."

Emperor Tiangan nodded his head: "Okay, go down, you will protect the King of England with all your might, and I will reward you heavily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as the guards left, Xiao Yi said: "Father, I feel panicked when I hear this, it's too dangerous! It's God's will that my eldest brother survived, if it were me, I'd be scared to death!"

He patted his chest, as if he had lingering fear.

Xiao Ming said: "No matter what, as long as the eldest brother is safe and sound, it is more important than anything else. Father, the injury of the eldest brother must be serious. The best doctor is in the palace. My son requests to send the imperial physician to Jiangzhou."

After hearing this, Eunuch Huang said, "Your Highness, the imperial physician has already left with the imperial envoy."

"Ah, I forgot." Xiao Ming smiled awkwardly.

Emperor Tiangan waved his hand: "It's okay, you brothers love each other deeply, I am very pleased." He looked at the two sons, couldn't help smiling, slightly apologetic, "You have been worrying together these few days, and you still have to take care of them. Comfort me, it’s hard for you.”

This was the first time that the emperor showed a smile in so many days, which made Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming feel sour.

Xiao Yi said modestly: "Where is the father, this is what the son should do."

Xiao Ming nodded: "Now, father and emperor can finally sleep well, and son-in-law can feel relieved."

"Yeah..." Emperor Tiangan sighed deeply, feeling the same way, "Go back, too, and have a good rest. Now, I will wait for your eldest brother to finish dealing with Jiangzhou's affairs and come back."

As soon as these words came out, the two glanced at each other, then bowed and left.

Out of the palace gate, away from the servants, Xiao Yi suddenly laughed: "Now not only father, you can also sleep peacefully at night, but you can't daydream."

Xiao Ming stopped walking after hearing this, and smiled back: "To each other."

The faces of the two of them sank together, Xiao Yi looked in the direction of Jiangzhou, and said, "Apart from your background, what do you think elder brother is better than us?"

Xiao Ming sneered: "The empress and concubine, one married wife and one humble concubine, what do you think is the difference?"

"This is really an insurmountable gap. When the elder brother comes back, the position of the crown prince will be gone. Shouldn't we also give up?"

Xiao Ming glanced at him, curled his lips slightly, left without saying a word.

When the guard left, he also presented Xiao Hong's booklet and a letter.

Eunuch Huang came in with tea and saw Emperor Tiangan lying on the cool chair and watching.

What Zhezi reported was official business. Xiao Hong explained the whole story of the flood in Kuiliang County. Then he will organize people to dismantle the sluice gate and restore some of the fields filled with the river to their original appearance, so that most of the flood will be eliminated.For the other part, several water conservancy masters surveyed the terrain, dredged the river downstream of the dam, and led the branches to flow into the fields, which can not only facilitate irrigation, but also increase the flood discharge capacity.

His original errand was more than half done.

As for the Lu family, he has already detained them from top to bottom, arrested most of the officials in Jiangzhou, and ordered people to interrogate them vigorously.

……

Arrangement one by one, orderly and clear, without too much emotional color in it.

After reading it, Emperor Tiangan put the booklet aside, and then picked up the thick envelope.

He shook it in his hand, and it was quite heavy, it can be seen that this kid poured all the bitterness in his stomach.

The emperor smiled, but when he thought of the description of the guards just now, the smirk on his mouth turned into distress.

Opening the envelope, there were still eight small envelopes inside.

Emperor Tiangan patiently opened them according to the date.

"It was sunny on the first day of July, the weather was still hot, and there was a thunderstorm at night.

Royal Father, the prefect of Jiangzhou brought Lu Xueliang, the third son of Marquis Cheng En, to visit me today.

Do you know?Lu Xueliang, who is not even an official, is more powerful than a fourth-rank magistrate. He invited me to the Lu family, how could I go?

If I do such an unforgivable thing, I will not let it go, even for the sake of the emperor's grandmother!

Just wondering how you'd rule?

I hope it is not put down lightly. Think about how so many people have been victimized, how to appease their grievances?

……

No, I changed my mind!Make them pay what they deserve!

—Your furious son who is about to lose his mind. "

This is the model that Xiao Hong has been writing to him for more than two months, just like broken thoughts.

When Emperor Tiangan saw the word "no", he used heavy ink on the last point, which showed that something made him very angry. The emperor guessed that it was probably Luzhi County who told him about the deeper crimes of the Lu family.

The kid was always upright, so he was probably going around in circles in anger.

Emperor Tiangan then opened the second letter.

"On the second day of July, it was sunny and still hot as hell, and I was only hoping for the rain at night to survive.

Father, your son has made a mistake!Old man Lu told me everything last night, but deliberately leaked the news to attract the Lu family!

What kind of people do you think these are? Why do you distrust me so much and force me to confront the Lu family!

And that bastard Lu Xueliang dared to force me to go to Lu's house, isn't that a self-inflicted trap?

But is there a second way for me to go?

……

Well, now that I'm in Lu's house, my son used the greatest endurance in his life to not beat Cheng Enhou's old face!Father, you actually still praise him... I really want to say something to you... Then, do you have to ask the imperial doctor to look at your eyes?

I hope my son can come back to Beijing and have a meal with you!

——With a wry smile and helplessness, I miss your son very much. "

"On the third day of July, it was still sunny.

Father, I have to thank you for being my own father. This is like a talisman. The Lu family dare not attack me now, so they can only try to win me over.

You don't know, when I am writing this letter to you, the woman entertaining herself on the lake outside the window has laughed like a bell for the third time, for fear that her son won't listen.I'm just wondering, don't you think that's how your harem woman draws your attention?

What a holiday, the weather is so hot, if you don't go back to the house to rest and run to the lake to bask in the sun, isn't it sick?

The son felt that he couldn't go on anymore, and the woman guessed that her throat was smoking.

Well, Xi Chao advised me, we are under the eaves, we have to bow our heads.If the other party uses beauty tricks, we will use beauty tricks!You know how handsome your son is, and it's easy to win this kind of boudoir girl.

……

Well, I'm back, the weather is really hot, thankfully the woman didn't dare to sweat because of the rouge and white powder on her face.

Well, let me report to you about the results. Marquis Cheng En should mention marriage tomorrow, but I'm actually not happy about it.

By the way, I forgot to mention yesterday.Although the situation was in a hurry and the situation was urgent, it was a pity that the court thought of a way to send the guards secretly to dispatch troops.

Really, I really admire him, he even persuaded the son of Fuguo Gong's family to be the bait, and use his life to go out of the city to attract attention!I hope it succeeds, otherwise my son really doesn't know what to do.

Finally, thank you again, my dear father, you gave the life-saving soldier talisman to such a helpless son, I kowtow to you! "

"The fourth day of July is still sunny.

But my mood is not sunny at all.Father, Marquis Cheng En really mentioned marriage!

Even if I don't like it, I can only agree. If you can still see this letter, don't take it seriously.

That stinky old man was really in a hurry, he didn't even have time to slow down, luckily I'm sorry!

By the way, in a few days, you should be able to see a very respectful, very modest, brilliant literary talent, and you can tell at a glance that it is not something I can write.

We are a tacit understanding between father and son. My son firmly believes that you can see that something is wrong, right?

——Looking forward to you riding a white horse and stepping on colorful auspicious clouds to rescue my son from the sky. "

"Needless to say, the fifth day of July is still sunny.

Cheng Enhou looked at this booklet, smiling like a chrysanthemum, his son wanted to scratch his face, well, he held back in the end.

……

Father, how can there be such a hateful and vicious person in the world?It's unbelievable that he's actually the emperor's grandmother's brother, and he's also related to me by blood!

I want to kill people. Now my mind is full of that huge sluice gate. When the sluice gate is closed, the flood will destroy the dam and bring countless souls...

Dad, he also forced me to join forces with others, and asked me to kill the remaining villagers to surrender!

How can people be so cruel?

I think it is a miracle that I can still write this letter to you now. My son actually endured it and didn't strangle him directly.

But I swear, if I can get out of the predicament, I can still see you, Father, I will definitely kill him!No one can stop me!

But helplessly, before that, I have to escape first...

Fortunately, there is finally a way out.

Whether it's true or not, whether it's feasible or not, in short, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so let's take a gamble.

Please allow me to praise Xichao again, he brought all the unlearned and inexperienced sons of Fuguogong, Yuetinghou, Yongyihou, and Yongchang Bo's family here.

Really, if it happens, they'll have a great credit for it.

Now they are going to visit Chunfang Pavilion, oh, you can tell that it is a brothel just by the name.

Let me tell you first, my son has always kept himself clean and has never been there.

This land of the Lu family was used to win over the court officials, but it was those hard-working women who suffered.

Xi Chao said it well, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

These girls have become my secret messengers with the Jiangdong army, I hope my letters will be sent out by them.

God bless.

——I hope that the law of heaven is still there, my son who is unhappy with karma. "

"On the sixth day of July, it turned from sunny to cloudy.

Father, I have been worried all night, and finally got another piece of good news, the letter was sent away.

However, the son of Fu Guogong was arrested and returned, so the Lu family should be completely relieved now?

Speaking of which, last night, Cheng Enhou was afraid that I would disagree, so he sent Miss Lu to comfort me.

Oh, what is gratifying is that, without my mentioning, Ms. Lu invited her son to go out to play in Fanhu Lake on Qixi Festival.

Father, this gave me a new understanding of my charm.

On the surface, I was reluctant, but in fact I agreed with great joy. It seems that this ability of hypocrisy and obedience has been forced to a higher level, alas...

In the evening, the four dudes went to Chunfang Pavilion again, and had a conflict with General Huang's son. Excellent, the information for tomorrow's action has been confirmed.

But dad, I'm a little nervous, no, very nervous.

Whether it is life or death, success or failure, it all depends on tomorrow.

Everyone is full of hope, my son is the backbone, and I dare not show any hesitation, but I am really panicked, even if things are going smoothly, I am still afraid.

Dad, if only you were here! .

Son, I hope to see you again! "

When Emperor Tiangan saw this, he found that there were water stains on the letter, and a few words were blurred.

He instantly guessed what it was?

Only then, we are about to face the situation of life and death, crying is a very normal thing.

Even if he already knew the result, but thinking about the torment of the psychological journey, the helplessness and fear still made the emperor's heart ache.

He slowed down, and then continued to open the letter below.

"On the seventh day of July, Qixi Festival, the weather is gloomy.

It's a stormy day, Dad, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Today my son is going to take a big hurdle in his life, can I get through it?Your golden words must be accurate..."

This was written by Xiao Hong hastily, and the handwriting was even more scribbled.

Emperor Tiangan put down the letter paper and immediately opened the last one.

But inside there are only four words that are crooked, heavy and intermittent.

"I'm alive."

In an instant, Emperor Tiangan's eyes turned red again.

The author has something to say: the next thing is to wait for Xiaohong to return to Beijing.
