Second minister and thief

Xiao Cen went into battle with his uncle to kill the enemy when he was young, and went deep into the battle alone and became famous. People at that time called him "little general".Therefore, Emperor Wu'an's words undoubtedly brought back Xiao Cen's memories of those youthful and frivolous years.

If these words were placed before "suspiciousness", then Xiao Cen might be moved by the emperor's deliberate intimacy, but it's a pity...

Xiao Cen secretly cast his eyes on Emperor Wu'an's first wife, Empress Duanming.

The most honorable woman in the Daqi dynasty seemed unhappy, and during the few times Xiao Cen saw her, her brows were always tightly frowned, with a sad look on her face.

"Your Majesty, if my concubine remembers correctly, General Xiao held a coronation ceremony in Youlan City at the beginning of the year, which is suitable for marriage. But I don't know...do you have someone you like?"

"Hahaha! What the queen thinks is also what I think in my heart! Xiao Qing, how about I point you to a good marriage?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cen felt uneasy and deeply embarrassed, because he knew that the emperor's current "finger marriage" was just another trial.He couldn't help sighing secretly, this Taodu is really a trap every step of the way, every step of the way, a person like him, if it wasn't for his grandfather's heroic spirit protecting him, he might not even be able to see the sunrise of Maochu.

After thinking for a long time, he finally said carefully, "The world is uncertain, and the country is in danger, so what should we do at home?"

Xiao Cen thought that his answers were quite satisfactory, but he always inadvertently touched Emperor Wu'an's sensitive nerves.The root of it is the Confucian benevolent government theory secretly taught to him by his grandfather.

"The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the light."

However, Master's masterpiece has been listed as "Jinshu" [-] years ago, and now Xiao Cen has openly revealed that kind of inclination, how can it not make people angry?

Therefore, this conversation can be regarded as ending without a problem.In the following time, Emperor Wu'an did not take the initiative to mention the "reward", and Xiao Cen had no intention of asking.

Only at the end, Emperor Wu'an pointedly said, "It's getting late, Xiao Qing should go back to the mansion to rest earlier. After calculating the time, Linqiu should be back." Afterwards, he really sent him back. .

After exiting the Chongguang Hall, Xiao Cen felt more and more puzzled. Thinking of the emperor's temptations to him before and the meaning expressed in his words, his heart was inevitably covered with a layer of haze.

He was immersed in his own thoughts all the time, and didn't pay attention to observing everything around him. It wasn't until the lieutenant general suddenly made a sound that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"General, look."

Xiao Cen looked up, and saw Chu Linqiu walking hurriedly without raising his head, as if he was walking towards him.

He originally thought that Chu Linqiu would at least stop to say hello to him, but he walked forward as if he didn't see him.

As a last resort, Xiao Cen had no choice but to grab his robe sleeve and raised his voice, "Master Chu, where are you going? Are you going to face the saint?"

However, when Chu Linqiu heard the words, he just paused in his steps and walked up the steps without turning his head.

Xiao Cen stared at his pine-like back and was stunned for a long time before realizing belatedly that he had just been bored.He shook his head suddenly, suddenly this day, it was a little strange to spend too much time on the same person.

At this time, Deputy General Hanchen finally got the chance, sneaked up to Xiao Cen's ear and whispered, "General, the last general has long said that he is a weirdo, you must believe it."

"When did you ever tell me that?"

Although Xiao Cen felt puzzled, he suppressed his doubts and walked out of the corridor slowly after brushing off the ashes from his armor.
