Even though he was reluctant to give up, Lou Yinan had to respect Qi Chengqian's choice, if Qi Chengqian hadn't stopped him, he would have disobeyed the emperor's orders recklessly, even if his body was broken.It's a pity that there is too much helplessness in reality, he can't impose the consequences of one person's behavior on his family, and he can't harm Qi Chengqian because of his recklessness.

Lou Yinan suppressed his anger and followed Bao Youfu into the imperial tent. Inside the imperial tent, the emperor was talking to his father Lou Zhenshan. After Lou Yinan came in to salute, he was arranged to stand aside.

Perhaps after the prince was injured, the emperor looked mentally weak, and his already pale complexion became even more sickly. It seemed that he was not far from terminally ill.There is a lingering bitter medicinal smell in the tent, which has been suppressed in people's hearts for a long time, and it does not smell good.

Lou Zhenshan sat under the emperor's hands, and the two had been talking for a while before Lou Yinan came in. He didn't say anything when he saw his son coming in, but a trace of surprise and understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Although I am old, I can still guard the territory for Daqi. If I stay in Beijing to enjoy the blessings, I am afraid that my old arms and legs will rust." Lou Yinan's heart moved, and he heard his father's words and thought about it. Returning to Beijing is to withdraw military power!

"You are about the same age as me, and you are still a few years older than me. It is time to enjoy the blessings after years of hard work. It has been so many years, and I can't bear to see you fighting for the country in the bitter cold frontier. Sigh. , I’m getting old, why bother to work so hard, it should be left to the young people.” The emperor’s voice changed, “Speaking of young people, I see that Yinan is working as an errand in the guard, and his heart has been relented, and he has become more energetic. , it’s better than hanging out with those dandies before. It’s not enough to leave the child outside for a long time without discipline. From now on, I will stay in the capital and choose a good family for Yinan. Marriage. After you get married, I will give birth to a few grandchildren for you. The children and grandchildren will be around your knees. It is wonderful, and staying in the capital is also good for Yinan's future development. The bitter cold in the northwest is not comparable to the prosperity of the capital!"

The old ones want to stay in Beijing for the elderly, and the young ones want to stay in the capital to marry their wives. What about the Northwest Army?The emperor's wishful thinking was to take back the Lou family's military power and control the Northwest Army. As for the Lou family who lost its military power, life or death had nothing to do with the emperor.

The Lou family is so powerful that it has become a thorn in the emperor's heart, and the slightest touch will hurt terribly.

When the emperor first came to the throne, he was short of manpower, so he could only win over the existing dignitaries. He was even more frightened and uneasy, afraid that the strong tiger would counterattack and hurt his master instead.

Even if Lou and Chu were loyal to the country, the emperor just couldn't really trust them, after all, they were not cultivated by himself.

Under careful planning, the Chu family collapsed, and the current descendants of the Chu family hid in their hometowns and could not come out. Even so, the emperor still sent people to monitor, just in case.

As for the Lou family, the Lou family is more careful than the Chu family, and the Lou family is still useful, and the border of Daqi still needs the protection of the Lou family.But in recent years, the border has been peaceful. Although wars continued, they were all small-scale wars, which were quickly quelled. This gave the emperor an opportunity to take back the military power of the Lou family.

The emperor has made preparations for the follow-up matters after taking over the military power in the Northwest, and has trained many young generals. These generals are all supported by his hands, so that they can be controlled and mastered.

If Lou Yinan knew the emperor's thoughts, he would definitely scoff. The reason why Da Qi was able to be peaceful was because the Lou family army led by the Lou family drove back the invading soldiers of Xiao and Xia, and restored the border peace. .In the previous life, when the Lou family didn't exist, Xiao Guo sent troops to invade. The young general who made the emperor proud had never seen such a battle. , Da Qi lost five cities in a row, and then Xia Guo also launched an attack on Da Qi.

The emperor, who was already seriously ill, didn't come back in a panic, and went directly, leaving a mess for the prince. Not long after the prince ascended the throne in a hurry, he was forced into the palace by Prince Min and his son. After writing the edict of abdication, he disappeared.

Lou Yinan sneered, if the emperor knew the ending of his previous life, would he immediately turn his back on it now?

Lou Zhenshan was raised by the idea of ​​loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and he has no rebellious bones in his body, and there is no thought of disobeying the monarch in his bones.After the previous emperor asked him to hand over his military power several times, Lou Zhenshan surrendered his military power under the empress' persuasion, but knowing that the Lou family was doomed, he sent his only son, Lou Yinan, out early.In this life, with Lou Yinan's constant reminders, Lou Zhenshan's heart of loyalty has also been shaken. It is not the first time that the emperor had such a conversation. He politely rejected it a few times before, and this time he mentioned it again, and he refused again. After the emperor, he knew that things could not be better.

The reason why the emperor mentioned it at this moment is directly related to the flash flood.

It was raining heavily in the mountains, Lou Zhenshan looked at the rain, and based on his years of marching experience, guessed that the magic stick calculation mentioned by his son might really come true.Knowing that the situation was not good, he asked to meet the emperor. After telling the emperor, the emperor laughed at him for being too worrying and ignored him.Lou Zhenshan had no choice but to send people to the village at the foot of the mountain and the surrounding towns to remind them in advance. Thanks to Lou Zhenshan's reminder, the lucky people in the village at the foot of the mountain were spared.

Lou Zhenshan was thinking about the common people, and this action also slapped the emperor in the face naked, naked, and the prince was injured. The emperor's dissatisfaction with the Lou family has accumulated to a certain extent.

In the emperor's heart, he thought that the Lou family wanted to win over people's hearts in times of crisis, and he simply didn't take him seriously. It's not that he didn't agree to send someone out to remind him, but he didn't react for a while. As a courtier, shouldn't he be more How many times do you remind me?

The emperor and Lou Zhenshan have their own ideas, after listening to the emperor's words, how could Lou Zhenshan let him get what he wanted, "Yinan is a reckless boy, he is very naughty, he caused a lot of troubles after returning to Beijing, some time ago He also beat the young son of Song Shangshu's family. Alas, the old minister's face is lost. If this continues, the old minister will have no face to live in the capital. The minister knows that he has played wild in the frontier and cannot be taken back. Well, this life is only suitable for border battlefields. Only in this way can he sharpen his temper. Your majesty is right, the son is grown up, and it is time to marry a wife and have children. The old wife of the minister has already begun to care for him. Visiting a good girl, just waiting to find a good marriage, and begging His Majesty to reward her with marriage."

"Hehe, is that right? If Madam looks good, you can ask the Queen to hold a flower viewing feast, and let the Queen take care of her only nephew." A sharp light flashed through the emperor's sleepy eyes. After a while, he was no longer the weak emperor who was unstable when he first came to the throne, so he didn't need to win over.As soon as the words fell, the teacup in the emperor's hand fell on the table with a "snap". The beautiful azure teacup has an extremely thin body and a shiny surface. You can tell it is a beloved thing at a glance, and you often play with it.

But at this moment, the emperor's heart was broken, and it fell on the table and was torn apart. The tea in it fell on the emperor's body along the table.

The atmosphere in the tent felt tense for a while, and Lou Yinan, who was forcibly pulled over to listen, could hear anger from the emperor's understatement, not to mention Lou Zhenshan, who had received most of the attention.

Lou Zhenshan has experienced thousands of troops, from the battlefield where corpses are strewn all over the field to where he is today, not only with the support of the Lou family, but also with his own courage and hard work.Facing the emperor's anger, he remained motionless, not even changing his complexion.

Lou Yinan's future is Lou Zhenshan's only weakness. The emperor's previous words clearly stated that he asked the empress to help check the gate, but in fact it implied that he wanted to influence Lou Yinan's marriage.How could Lou Zhenshan be willing, even if he was loyal in the previous life, he would not let his son sit and wait for death, let alone him who has been shaken in this life.

"Your Majesty, I like people who can wield knives and guns and go to the battlefield with me to kill the enemy, not fake beauties who only know the love of children and are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Lou Yinan didn't seem to feel the moment With a saber-rattling taste, he walked to the emperor with a hippie smile and said after saluting.

"Oh, it's hard to find such a girl, and only Lan Fenghuang from Xia Kingdom has such abilities." The emperor smiled kindly, and the slight anger on his face just now disappeared.He waved to Bao Youfu to clean up the broken words on the table, and a bit of tiredness appeared on his kind face.

Lou Yinan's cheeky face showed a rare shyness, "Lan Fenghuang is the Princess Xia, and she already has a son-in-law. Yinan doesn't have the slightest thought for her."

"According to what you mean, do you already have a sweetheart? Which girl is it? I want to see which girl has the ability to subdue you."

Lou Zhenshan also looked at his son, he was also very curious about who his son's sweetheart was!

"Your Majesty was joking. How could I have a girl I like? Even if I did, it would hurt the reputation of the girl's family if I said it." There is no girl I like, but there is a man I like. If he wants to become my father-in-law, but Not a good one.

"Haha, Yinan said it politely, I made a slip of the tongue." The emperor said to Lou Zhenshan with a smile: "The terms your son said are not easy to find, Ai Qing will have to worry about it."

Lou Zhenshan shook his head helplessly, "Children are debts, so don't worry about it."

Lou Yinan has reached the age of marriage, so why not his crown prince? After returning this time, it is time to consider marriage for the child. Finding a good Yue's family is to add a helping hand, and lose the Lou's family. It doesn't hurt like a wrist bone either.The emperor's smile became more and more amiable, and he talked with Lou Zhenshan about his son and daughter. The topic just now stopped there, as if it had never happened, but Lou Zhenshan and the emperor both knew it, and we will mention it next time. Not so mild.

The curtain was lifted, and a person walked in with thick moisture on his body, walked quickly to the emperor and whispered a few times, the voice was very small, even with Lou Yinan's ears, he could only hear "King Ning" and "King Ning". Sporadic words such as "kneeling" and "praying for blessings", as soon as the man's voice fell, the emperor stood up in a gaffe regardless of the situation. It can be seen that the anger has reached the extreme, and the situation is out of his control, and anger is justified.

"The mountain torrents broke out. King Ning prayed for me to bless the people of Daqi in peace and well-being. Now that the auspicious time has come, I should also take a bath and change clothes and pray to heaven myself." The emperor gritted his teeth, not as if he was going to pray for blessings, but as if to seek revenge.

Before, the entire camp was gloomy and the voices of mourning were suppressed. The bereaved women could only hide in the tent and cry, but Lou Yinan just stayed in the imperial tent for a while, and the situation changed suddenly, and the voice of mourning was no longer there. Suppressed, loud cries added to the gloomy sky.

The crying was also mixed with prayers to God, praying for God to bless the family, God to bless all beings, so that those who have not been found can return safely.

Following the sound, Qi Chengqian, the leader, knelt behind the sacrificial table, with a solemn expression and a pious and sincere gesture. He prayed loudly for Daqi, for those lost in the mountains and forests, and mourned for the dead.

The emperor only asked him to kneel down to pray for the prince and Daqi Pingshun, but did not stipulate how and where to pray.Of course, Qi Chengqian chose the method that was most worthy of the emperor's oral instructions. After the emperor found out, he held his breath in his heart, unable to go up or down, feeling depressed as if he were shooting himself in the foot with a stone. On the contrary, it is even more frustrating to cooperate.
