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

In all fairness, these people, as subordinates of the Xiao family, of course want the Xiao family to secure the throne, so as to obtain a title for themselves.

But now, seeing that the dust has settled, the throne of the Xie family is also sitting firmly.

The little unreasonable thoughts they had before were also gone with the wind.

Now these former generals have all looked away, thinking that they can live a stable life and live without disease or disaster until they hiccup, which can be regarded as God's blessing.

So when I greeted Xiao Di at this moment, I was very upset.

But at this time, Xiao Di already had military merits, was conferred the title of county king by the emperor, and was the old lord of the past. These people could only restrain their fears, greeted him enthusiastically, and smiled and said some innocuous words. .

"I haven't seen you for a long time, the prince has become more and more heroic."

"That's right, the little prince has grown a lot taller than when we first met. He is so imposing that his subordinates dare not recognize him."

"Now that Huihe has been expelled again, this is the No. 1 after the founding of the country. Presumably, the favor will continue in the future, and the old general will be able to rest in peace..."

"That's right, the king of the county also clarified the injustice and restored his name..."

These former subordinates surrounded him with happy smiles, but the smile on Xiao Di's lips became colder and colder.

These people used to be under his Xiao family's command, and even acted as if they did not hesitate to fight against the imperial court in order to protect the Xiao family.

But seeing the decline of the Xiao family and the emperor's steady state, they immediately changed their name from "young master" to "king of the county".

It seemed that he was in a hurry to get rid of the previous relationship.

Xiao Di swept over them heavily, straight to the point, and said with a smile: "You all talk to each other, as if we don't recognize each other at all."

"This..." These people were speechless, and looked at each other: "This is also the court rule..."

"Then if there is no court, are there any rules?"

Everyone's faces were full of astonishment: "!!! No court?"

The imperial court has only just been established, so how can it be said that there is no such thing?

"Do you know the news that His Majesty is seriously ill?"

Everyone was startled, but they really remembered this matter.

It's just that no one paid much attention to it, but Xiao Di never thought about it.

Even if His Majesty is seriously ill, isn't there still a prince?

How could the court be in crisis?

Xiao Di remained silent, and took out the letter from the Prime Minister from his sleeve.

When everyone saw it, their expressions all changed.

They also heard about the emperor's pursuit of Taoist Wang, and they also vaguely knew the relationship between Taoist Wang and the prime minister.

Now that I read this letter again, I know what kind of big chess the prime minister will play.

It seems that the world is about to return to turmoil, and the winner is king.

Seeing the changes in the situation in the capital, these people's minds suddenly became active.

It wasn't that they had to rely on the Xie family. Now that Xiao Di is leading the army, they themselves have at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If...

They looked at Xiao Di, and unknowingly changed their address: "Young master, in your opinion, what should we do at this moment?"

They thought that Xiao Di would delay his return to Beijing first, take advantage of the prime minister's seizure of the throne, and lead the army to fish in troubled waters, but Xiao Di said: "Since Huihe has been defeated, I will return to Beijing immediately tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Back to Beijing?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this is a great opportunity, no movement is worse than silence, no one will say anything if Xiao Di leads the troops outside and delays for a few days without showing any trace.

Why do you have to hurry back? !

They didn't know that there was a letter pasted to Xiao Di's quilt close to his chest, and that letter was written by Xie Qingci, urging him to return to Beijing.

The corners of Xiao Di's lips were raised slightly, his face softened a lot, and he said solemnly: "I have made a marriage arrangement before I set off, I will go get married first, and then wait and see what happens, if the prime minister really makes trouble, I hope all the elders and uncles will help me. "

These people naturally knew that after Xiao Di won this battle, he was no different than before. After the two wars, the officers and soldiers in the army respected him very much. It was obvious that they already had a faint feeling of support for Xiao Di.

With His Majesty in charge in the imperial court, it will not be obvious. If it really returns to the troubled times, then these people will probably follow Xiao Di.

Because it is rumored that Xie Xiao will divide the world equally, the Xiao family's reputation among the people is not low...

They are not favored by the Xie family, but they are direct descendants of the Xiao family. Thinking about it this way, it seems... Supporting Xiao Di is the most beneficial choice for him no matter what.

Those people thought about the checkpoints in an instant, and unanimously raised their robes and knelt down: "I am willing to listen to the young master's order!"

Xiao Di helped them up one by one, made a big promise, drank and chatted for a while, then immediately got on the horse, told Xie and Xu that there had been changes in the capital, and then galloped all the way back to Beijing day and night.

These people in Gansu are also his important cards.

There is chaos in the capital, and these people can't help but want to get a piece of the pie, but no matter how much they fight and fight, they are just one side of the princes. Picking up a prince and marquis Dangdang in a comfortable way can earn a lot more than if they come forward in person.

He wins these people over, not because he wants to proclaim himself emperor.

He knew Xie Qingci's thoughts, but he was not very enthusiastic about this matter. The corners of Xiao Di's lips curled slightly, thinking of someone in Beijing who wrote a letter with a pen——

Xie Qingci still hoped that he could go back soon so that the capital could be stabilized as soon as possible.

He ran day and night, without closing his eyes for a moment at night, and it was also because of the earnest expectations in this letter.

If my brother really asked for a marriage, then of course everything is easy to talk about...

If anything changes...

Xiao Di's eyes suddenly darkened, filled with fearful emotions.

Since he came out this trip, from now on, he can't let others decide.
