After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Xiao Di knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is holy, I thank you on behalf of my father, Your Majesty personally brought justice to justice, and the heroic souls of those border guards who died in vain can also rest in peace."

The emperor moved his lips slightly.

These words were impeccable, thank you calmly and politely, without tears of gratitude, and could not hear any complaints.

But people are not sages, how can they be emotionless in the face of such a big change?

The so-called calm and breezy is nothing but a cover-up of the truth.

The emperor laughed a few times, and tentatively said calmly: "Since you wronged your father at that time, then based on the merits of your Xiao family, it is more than enough to be named a prince."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the people present changed.

Xie Qingci's eyebrows twitched, and he slowly clenched his palms.

At that time the emperor and the Xiao family had a promise to share the world equally, although Xiao He resigned forcefully afterwards, but he had military achievements before and suffered unfair injustice later, it is not too much to confer the title of Prince.

It's just that since the emperor came to the throne, he has never been named a prince with a different surname. If Xiao Di was in his teens, if he were to be named, he would undoubtedly be No.1 since the founding of the country...

But this is indeed what Xiao Di should have done.

No one thought that Xiao Di would actually refuse: "I have not built meritorious deeds, if I live in the position of prince, I will be ashamed day and night. I am studying in the Taixue these days, and I have nothing else to think about serving Your Highness wholeheartedly."

The emperor raised the corners of his lips with great interest, and Xiao Di's answer was really witty.

Thinking about it again, Xiao Di has been serving Xie Qingci several times, but he is really serving him wholeheartedly.

He stared at Xiao Di, and said with a smile, "Oh? Don't you want to return to the battlefield?"

There was a little less temptation in this questioning, but a little bit of the elder's kindness could be heard.

Xiao Di lowered his head, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, which perfectly revealed the youthful and honest ambition of the young man: "Naturally... I also want to."

"It's a good thing to have such a heart!" The emperor smiled instead, patted him on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said: "Young people should have lofty aspirations - when you come back from victory, I will not be stingy with the title of prince!"

Painting cakes is painting cakes, and the implication is naturally that since you have not made any achievements yet, don't even think about having a title.

In a few words, it turned out that the Xiao family's previous military exploits were written off.

Xie Qingci suddenly felt relieved, and felt sad for Xiao Di.

But Xiao Di just stood on one side reservedly from the beginning to the end, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he didn't notice these awards and titles...

Could it be... Xiao Di doesn't like these at all?

The emperor said again: "Since this matter has been found out, I can't let you be wronged. Your Xiao family's mansion in the capital will be returned to you tomorrow, and you don't have to bow your knees in the palace."

This is also a good thing, if someone else is there, he must kneel down and thank you, but Xiao Di, who was still calm just now, his face changed slightly at this moment: "I thank your majesty for your kindness, but the house has been unoccupied for a long time, and I want to go to the family temple first Sacrifice to the ancestors, and then live in..."

When speaking, Xiao Di's eyes were firmly glued to Xie Qingci quietly.

These are all decent nonsense, it's just that others don't want to go out of the palace.

Xie Qingci hurriedly looked away, but couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"This is what it should be, and I will offer incense to your father for me."

Since there is no clear time to leave the palace, it can be delayed by the sacrifice.

After the emperor left, the officials also dispersed in twos and threes.

Several people came out together, the sky was as clear as washing, Xiao Di raised his eyes, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips.

Before entering the door just now, he was still the son of a traitor who was spurned by everyone.

When he came out again, other people looked at him differently from just now.

All of this can only be calculated in an instant.

Both Xu Huizhou and Yan Liang looked happy, but Xiao Di remained calm.

He knew that this matter was only to restore his reputation, and he would no longer have to bear the label of the son of a traitor in the future, but there was still a long way to go if he really wanted to gain power.

Xiao Di's eyes slowly passed over Xie Qingci, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

As soon as the incident of the Xiao family came out, everyone in the government and the public heard the news.

The emperor has been on the throne for so long, and the strong enemies on the border have always been there. Now that the matter of the Xiao family has been clarified, Xiao Di, who had military exploits in the past, rose from the son of a traitor to a young general who can be alone in the future.

Although he has no nobles and no soldiers at the moment, who doesn't know that the Xiao family's reputation on the border seems to only need an opportunity.

Xie Huayan came to Xie Qingci specially for this matter: "How do you plan to arrange Xiao Di in the future?"

Xie Qingci laughed and said: "He used to be a member of Liuyun Palace, but now I can't let me decide."

Xie Huayan nodded and said: "Now that the matter of the Xiao family has just come to light, most of the court still sympathizes with the Xiao family, and His Majesty is also full of expectations for Xiao Di in words. If he wants to be a knight, he still has to go to the battlefield to make contributions."

Xie Qingci held the hot tea and remained silent.

"Although the food issue has been resolved right now, the army is not going to go out just by going out." Xie Huayan said: "Since the frontier war won't start for a while, then Xiao Di might as well take this opportunity to build more Thanks to you, if you have foreign enemies in the future, you can go out with me.”

Xie Qingci frowned and said, "Inside?"

In the previous life, Xiao Di led the army to fight when foreign enemies invaded, and gained the emperor's affirmation step by step, but now suddenly facing the inside, Xie Qingci was a little confused.

"Bandits have been a serious problem in Yunnan recently. Xiao Di has been fighting since he was young. It must be easy to suppress bandits."

Bandits?

Xie Qingci knew that this was a good time for Xiao Di to make his debut. Since there were no foreign enemies at this time, it was also a good opportunity to go to Yunnan to suppress bandits and practice.

It's just that he suddenly put Xiao Di away from his side and let him hold the military power again, but he still has unspeakable worries.

"I heard you named him Ju Lang." Xie Huayan glanced at his younger brother with a smile on his face, "That's a good name. Since you want a thousand-mile horse, you can't hold him back every day."

Going to Yunnan to suppress bandits, you can't bring many soldiers and horses. Besides, there are government officials and other yamen restraints in the local area. Xiao Di is trying to calm the civil strife this time, and it is impossible to deter the imperial power with military exploits in a day...

Besides, Xiao Di in this life is very docile, even if he leads troops out of the capital, he will never deny him...

Perhaps Xiao Di in this life was too docile, but when Xie Qingci thought of Xiao Di leading the troops, he felt a little joy in his heart.

He nodded and said: "Xiao Di followed me to class every day, and he was also arrested. With his temperament, he definitely wants to go to Yunnan to suppress the bandits."

"It's just that he hasn't led troops for many days after all, if someone joins the army by his side..."

Xie Qingci thought, if there is someone by his side, even if he can't restrain Xiao Di, he can still report his itinerary, so that he won't be thinking wildly in the capital.

Xie Huayan heard the words, and pondered: "Look... how is Xu Huizhou?"

"Hui Zhou?"

Xie Qingci was surprised at first, but when he thought about it carefully, Xu Huizhou had previous experience in the military and was fairly familiar with Xiao Di, and after the matter was clarified, he also needed to avoid the limelight...

It would be a good place to go to Yunnan to suppress bandits with Xiao Di.

Xie Qingci nodded: "It is good for Huizhou to leave Beijing at this time. I will go back tonight and tell Xiao Di."

Xie Huayan said with a half smile but not a smile: "I think he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and he is reluctant to leave you."

Xie Qingci's breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

"But as long as you come forward, he will definitely agree."
