Then, in the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Jingren squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Lord Xie who was kneeling below, his voice could not hear any anger or anger: "Xie Aiqing, do you know what you are talking about now?"

Lord Xie looked up at him, although he was kneeling, his back was straight, his face was solemn and compassionate, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, he just repeated what he said just now.

"I know that I am old and I am afraid that I will no longer be qualified for the post of commander-in-chief. However, Beidi's army is rushing straight in and is about to enter the interior. Therefore, I have the courage to ask for orders and lead my troops to suppress it. If the territory cannot be recovered, I am willing to apologize with death. "

Xie Houye paused, his voice was low and hoarse, but he did not hesitate at all: "If you are lucky enough to return in triumph, you may be exhausted from the army, and your swords and swords are blind on the battlefield. Even if you can barely survive, your physical condition will It must be poor and weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be qualified for any position, and it will be even more difficult to assume the post of commander of the imperial guards in the capital. You have to be handsome every day."

——Lord Xie Hou handed over the military power in the capital at this moment, just for the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and once this military power is handed over, Emperor Jing Ren will no longer be afraid of Xie's family in the future.

As he said, Master Xie bent down deeply, even his forehead almost touched the ground, showing a humble and prostrate appearance.

Emperor Jing Ren sat on the high platform of the dragon chair, looking down at him with an unpredictable expression.

This world is really strange, loyal ministers who serve the country and the people are full of blood and loyalty, but they have to prostrate on the ground, exchanging their wealth and life, in order to barely get a chance to be shrouded in horse leather.

After a long time, Emperor Jing Ren finally had a reaction, and he seemed to understand it now, with a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face, he walked down from the high platform, and personally stretched out his hand to help Lord Xie He stood up with a sigh in his voice.

"Xie Aiqing, what are you talking about? I just thought you were old and feared that something might happen, so I would give such an order, but if you are like this, and you have expressed your wishes early, I will not You won't forcefully rebel, will you?"

Xie Hou Ye straightened up, lowered his head slightly, and replied with a respectful look, "It's because I thought about it earlier."

"If you are the chief general, I will rest assured," Emperor Jingren patted his hand with a smile, but then said again, "But what you said is also right. For a while, I can't think of anyone who can take on this great job, does Ai Qing have a suitable candidate in mind?"

How could Master Xie dare to find a suitable candidate?Can only reply no.

"Don't worry, Aiqing." Emperor Jing Ren's face was full of kindness, but the words he said were very different, "Even if you leave Beijing, you don't have to worry about your home. I will take good care of Aiqing."

take good care of?But it's really ridiculous. The real meaning behind these words is clearly a threat.

Until now, Emperor Jing Ren still had doubts in his heart, so much so that he wanted to use Xie's family members as a threat, for fear that Master Xie would make changes in the future.

This can really be called an exhaustive strategy, and it is really chilling.

Xie Houye's eyes dimmed, his hands hanging by his side trembled slightly, his voice was very hoarse, but he could only "thank you" and said: "This humble minister, what virtue can you do, I really need to trouble you."

"What are you talking about?" Emperor Jing Ren shook his head with a smile, then turned around and said, "The battle is urgent, and it is not too late. I will give you an order..."

This appearance of the monarch and his ministers talking opposite each other, viewed from a distance, can really be called a picture of "the monarch and his ministers gain each other".

It was not until the sky was getting dark that Marquis Xie finally returned to the mansion, and everyone in the Xie family had been waiting for him in the main hall.

Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Xie hurriedly went up to meet him. Behind her, Xie Ling and He Yaoqing also stood up.

Lord Xie looked rather tired, after looking at them for a long time, he finally sighed slowly.

"The Holy Majesty has ordered me to lead the troops out of Beijing when Maozheng is the day after tomorrow."

While Xie Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost speechless in a daze.

Lord Xie was full of worries, but he still smiled comfortingly: "What's there to be sad about? It's a good thing to be able to lead troops to the battlefield."

"Okay, it's getting late," Lord Xie waved his hand, and only said to let them go back first, "I'm going to leave tomorrow, time is running out, and I have to make some preparations quickly, you go back first, Ling Come to my study sometime tomorrow, and I want to explain something to you."

Xie Ling agreed, Master Xie didn't have time to stay any longer, so he left the main hall first.

Then it was dark and after midnight, Lord Xie finally got a chance to catch his breath and returned to the bedroom.

And until now, there is actually a candle lit in this bedroom.

Mrs. Xie had been sitting and waiting for him to come back, but it was really too late. At this moment, she was resting her forehead with her left hand, her eyes were slightly closed, but her brows were frowning tightly.

Lord Xie was dazed for a moment, and then gently closed the door.

It was just a slight noise, but Madam Xie woke up abruptly. She sat here until late at night just to wait for him to come back, but at this moment she was unable to say a word.

But her eyes became more and more red after all, until she shed tears in a daze.

Lord Xie sighed, walked up to his wife, and said softly, "What's the matter? Don't you believe me? I will definitely come back when Beidi is repelled and the territory is taken back."

"I don't understand," Mrs. Xie's voice trembled, tears streaming from her eyes, "You can't fool me, why the emperor suddenly agreed to you to go to the battlefield, even if you don't say it now, I can guess."

"Then what can I do?" Master Xie Hou said, and repeated again, "Then what can I do? Can I just watch Beidi burn, kill and loot on my Dagan territory, the people are displaced, and the people are in dire straits? Is it? There is always someone who wants to stand up, so why can't it be the Xie family? If my life can be exchanged for a little security, it can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors."

Mrs. Xie's throat was choked up, and she could hardly utter a complete sentence.

Lord Xie sighed, touched her hand comfortingly, and said softly: "After I leave, the family will be handed over to you."

"I will take good care of my family," Mrs. Xie said with tears streaming down her face, and finally choked up, "We are waiting for your triumphant return at home."

"Okay," Lord Xie Hou laughed, but his eyes were also red, "Qiurou, you have been with me all your life, but you can't be at peace for half a minute. It's really hard for you."

Song Qiurou was Madam Xie's former name, and since she married into Xie's family, everyone only called her Madam Xie.

Xie Houye said, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks, with a bit of a joke: "In the next life, when you see me again, you must stay far away first, and never marry me again. "

Mrs. Xie was already sobbing, she couldn't speak anymore, she just shook her head.

She knew that what he risked his life to guard was not Emperor Jingren's country, but just to kill the common people.
