Eunuch Liuxi couldn't help being stunned when he heard the emperor's question, but he quickly came to his senses and replied, "The Second Prince has been in the palace for the past few days, and has hardly left the palace except to ask for peace."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Has Honggan reached the age to be crowned king?"

Eunuch Liuxi had thousands of emotions passing through his heart, but he didn't show a single trace on his face. He replied with a calm expression: "That's true. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to crown His Highness the Second Prince as king?"

The emperor thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Hongqian is getting old, it's not good to stay in the palace after all. It's better to make him king and let him choose a place in Jinling to build the palace."

Eunuch Liuxi was relieved when he heard the emperor's plan, and he didn't seem to intend to grant Zhao Hongqian the land.

However, Eunuch Liuxi also knew in his heart that the emperor's plan did not intend to break Zhao Hongqian's way of seizing the heir apparent.The main reason for not granting fiefdoms is that the Six Kingdoms Rebellion ended not long ago, and now the Huns are not living in peace.It is impossible for the emperor to put another unstable factor in his own territory.Keeping Zhao Hongqian in Beijing also showed the emperor's attitude.

Eunuch Liuxi didn't know much about the emperor's likes and dislikes towards the two princes. In his opinion, the emperor didn't seem to favor anyone, but he was much stricter towards the prince.

As soon as the prince proposed to go to Bingzhou, the emperor thought of the second prince.Eunuch Liuxi didn't understand the emperor's attitude even more. He didn't agree with the prince's going to Bingzhou from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't guess what the emperor thought.

The matter of crowning Zhao Hongqian as king was just the result of the emperor's sudden inspiration, but with this idea, he really thought about it seriously.In fact, these princes should have gone out of the palace to build a mansion long ago, but he has been busy with political affairs and neglected it.And the ministers who should remind him did not remind him for some reason.

The emperor thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "What time is it?"

Eunuch Liuxi replied: "It's time for lunch, may Your Majesty pass on the meal?"

The emperor got up and said, "No need, I'll use it at Concubine Chen's place." Then he drove to the Moon Rest Palace.

When the emperor arrived, Shen Liuming was sitting at the table, with a rich meal in front of her.

"I have said that my concubine can use it first, so I don't need to wait for me to come over." Although the emperor said so, he still couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Shen Liuming stood up and saluted, "The concubine should be waiting for His Majesty."

The emperor took her hand, kissed her and said, "I also like to eat with my concubine."

After lunch, Shen Liuming served the emperor on the couch.

The emperor lay on his back beside Shen Liuming, smelling the faint fragrance of her body, he couldn't help but feel sleepy.Before falling asleep, the emperor suddenly said: "Today the crown prince volunteered to go to Bingzhou, what does my concubine think?"

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Liuming's eyes, and he said uneasy: "Why would His Majesty ask your concubine these things? How can the women in the harem listen to these things? _,

Seeing her a little disturbed, the emperor found it novel.I said it casually, but now I think it is a bit more interesting.

"Let's listen to my concubine, I won't blame you."

Shen Liuming didn't understand what the emperor meant, she thought about it and replied: "The crown prince is a man of gold, so it's not appropriate to go to that dangerous place. But since the crown prince proposed it on his own initiative, the concubines thought that the crown prince might really want to do it for His Majesty." Great Wei, please do your part. It is difficult for ministers and concubines to choose. Your majesty is wise, let your majesty decide."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he pinched Shen Liuming's face, "I'm happy with what my concubine says, that's all.

sleep. "

Shen Liuming nodded, leaned on the emperor's chest and closed his eyes, but his heart was extremely confused.Why did the emperor suddenly mention the prince in front of her?Is it really just a random question?

What the emperor asked in Xiyue Palace soon reached Zhao Hongyin's ears.Compared with Zhao Hongyin's calmness, Yuan Xiao seemed a little flustered.

"Why did your Majesty ask Concubine Chen about this?" Yuan Xiao looked at Zhao Hongyin in a panic, "Could it be that Your Majesty began to suspect Concubine Chen?

What? ”

Zhao Hongyin shook his head, "I thought it was just a whim. This is also a good sign."

Yuan Xiao looked at Zhao Hongyin incomprehensibly, "What does your Highness mean?"

"Whether he really wants to ask Concubine Chen's opinion, or just to amuse Concubine Chen, he started to reveal political affairs to Concubine Chen, isn't that what we want?"

"Your Highness doesn't suspect at all that His Majesty discovered something?"

Zhao Hongyin glanced at him lightly, "It has nothing to do with us if we find out, Gu has never been in contact with Concubine Chen.

Yuan Xiao couldn't help realizing that, yes, the concubine Chen has been in the palace for so long, the crown prince has never sent anyone to approach her, and even the concubine Chen has a tacit understanding that no one has ever sent anyone.

"Your Highness, are you really going to Bingzhou?"

"Can you not go?" Zhao Hongyin sighed, "Gu can't rest assured that you can put You'an there. He has never been timid, so Gu has to keep an eye on him."

Yuan Xiao didn't quite believe the Prince's reason, blinked and said, "It's clear that His Highness misses Young Master Xu, so he's in a hurry to go there, right?" Zhao Hongyin said "Hey" and waved to Yuan Xiao, "Come here, sit down."

Yuan Xiao said with a smile, "I don't dare."

"Why don't you dare, even Gu dares to joke, you don't want to go to Bingzhou, do you?"

Yuan Xiao was pleasantly surprised: "Will Your Highness bring your servants with you this time?"

Zhao Hongyin held his chin, glanced at Yuan Xiao, and said with a smile: "Gu really planned this way before, now, you have to think about it more carefully."

think 〇"

Yuan Xiao said sternly: "Your Highness went to Bingzhou for the sake of the Great Wei. After the past, there will be a lot of hardships and hardships every day. The slaves and servants must go to serve and do their best!"

Zhao Hongyin raised the corners of his mouth, "Tell the truth."

Yuan Xiao: "...the servant wants to buckle up."

Zhao Hongyin nodded in satisfaction, "I'll take you there."

"Your Highness, will His Majesty really let you go to Bingzhou?"

Zhao Hongqian asked back: "What reason does he have for not letting Gu go?"

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Xiao really couldn't think of a reason why the emperor would stop Zhao Hongyin.According to the current tense relationship with the Huns, Bingzhou is really a dangerous place, and it is easy to go and never return.If the emperor wanted to sit in the capital, he would not be able to conquest by himself, but only noble princes could go.Among the princes, the only one who can compete with Zhao Hongyin is Zhao Hongqian, but Zhao Hongqian made a big mistake, the emperor must not dare to send him out this time.After thinking about it, only the prince is the most suitable.Let's make a bold guess, if the crown prince died on the battlefield, the emperor would be the happiest, right?

As the prince said, the emperor really has no reason not to let the prince go.

Seeing that Yuan Xiao was thinking seriously, Zhao Hongyin couldn't help but twitched his lips, "Instead of letting him propose first, it's better to take the initiative and win a good reputation alone, why not do it?"

Even if he didn't take the initiative to mention it earlier, the emperor would mobilize the prime minister and others to push him out.

Hun court.

"Shanyu, those Wei people not only lied to us, but also shot and killed General Kashi! They didn't take you seriously!" The deputy general returned to the royal court with Kashi's body. Shan Yu began to confide, "If we hadn't been willing to befriend Wei all these years, they would have already taken possession of us! If we don't teach them a lesson this time, they will really think we are afraid of him!"

After seeing Kashi's body, Mo Dun Shanyu was furious, "Who shot my general Kashi to death!"

Kashi's lieutenant immediately asked someone to present the arrow feather, Mao Dun Shanyu took the arrow, turned it over, and asked doubtfully: "Xu? Is it Xu Rong?" If it was Xu Rong who drove Xianbei out of Wei territory Mao Dun Shanyu could only say that Kashi really had bad luck this time. "I didn't see it clearly, but that person can't be Xu Rong!" Kashi's deputy said with certainty.

"Oh?"

"Chan Yu doesn't know something. The archer looks very immature, and he may not be very old." Kashi's lieutenant general thought about it and said, "The word Xu is engraved on this arrow. Is the boy Mo Na the son of Xu Rong?" The father has no dogs and sons, and Kashi's lieutenant thinks this guess is the most reasonable.

Mao Dun Shanyu obviously thought so, he nodded and said: "It is very possible, I heard that Xu Rong is guarding Xianbei, but I don't know if Xu Rong is still young."

Kashi's lieutenant general smiled and said, "No matter what, it's not as good as it was back then. There's no one left for the Great Wei, and at Xu Rong's age, let him deal with Xianbei."

Mao Dun Shanyu sneered, "Xianbei knew that Xu Rong was in charge, so he didn't dare to fart! They were scared when they were beaten!

"

The lieutenant-general of Kashi asked doubtfully: "Isn't it because King Xianbei is critically ill and cannot find a successor prince?" Mo Dun Shanyu glanced at the lieutenant-general of Kashi, "Your news is very sensitive."

Kashi's deputy general hurriedly said: "It's all mentioned before my life."

"Xianbei has already found out that their king still has a son, and they are in a hurry to find it now, so they don't have the energy to deal with Wei." Mo Dun Shanyu looked unhappy, "I don't know what use the recovered prince is for."

Kashi's deputy general, "In that case, would Xianbei be willing to cooperate with us temporarily?"

"I've already mentioned it to them." The Xiongnu had no appetite to eat Wei completely.But adding Xianbei is different, it's just... "They refused."

Kashi's lieutenant was very surprised, "Why?!"

"They remember that we refused to send troops to help back then, and their prince was living in Wei. They didn't want us to fight against Wei." Mao Dun Shanyu said with some regret.

"Then... what is Shan Yu's plan?" Kashi's lieutenant was confident that he could persuade Shan Yu to send troops to Wei, but now that Shan Yu said so, he was not so sure.

Seeing how timid the deputy general Kashi was, Mao Dun Shanyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do I care about Xianbei's thoughts?! They are just defeated by Wei's men, how can they make waves?! Wei just lied to us this time, so he has to pay the price! This time just gave me an excuse to send troops, so I must not let them go!"

Kashi's lieutenant saluted and said, "Shan Yu Yingming."
