The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Before and after the Spring Festival, they rested for seven days. At the court meeting on the fourth day of the new year, that is, the first court meeting of the new year, Emperor Jinde announced the great victory at the border, and King Zhenbei was about to go to Beijing to receive the reward.

As soon as this remark came out, it was like throwing a big rock into the water, awakening all kinds of fish and shrimp in the water.The officials who were still immersed in the happy atmosphere of the New Year were even more surprised.

The king of Zhenbei is about to return to the capital, but at the time when all the ministers are asking for the crown prince.What this means is self-evident.No matter how you say it in the past, the ministers just said that the protagonist never joined, and it was just an appetizer.Emperor Jin De didn't express his position, and Liang Wang didn't dare to say anything or do anything on the face.

But now that King Zhenbei returns to the capital, it means that the battle for the heir apparent is about to start in earnest.Many ministers made bets on the two princes. If the bet is correct, the treasure will be the merit of the dragon, and the promotion and title are just around the corner.If you lose, you will either lose your black hat or lose your head.

At this moment, the ministers were surprisingly silent.It's just that this silence is like a seemingly calm sea surface, but the actual rough waves are still hidden in the bottom of the sea.

Liang Wang had a smile on his face, as if he was sincerely happy for his brother's return to Beijing.In my heart, I was secretly annoyed that the plan had failed.Although he had never received any news from the spies, he suspected that the plan had failed.But when he really found out that Xiao Jingyu was able to return to Beijing without any problems, he secretly almost gritted his silver teeth.

After the court meeting, King Liang bid farewell to the ministers with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no clue on his face.After returning to the mansion, he immediately summoned his confidants in the mansion to discuss the next plan.

Of course, he was not the only one who went back to the mansion to think about his future plans. After returning to the mansion, almost all the high-ranking courtiers went to the advanced study room to think about their next path.Those who have not bet start to think about whether to bet and who to bet on.Those who have made bets are thinking again whether they really have to bet and will not change.

The situation in the capital is changing, and the battle for the heir apparent is about to begin.The 30th year of Emperor Jinde was destined to be a restless year.

No matter how treacherous the situation in the capital was, Tao Anran and his party hurried in and finally entered the city gate on the evening of the [-]th day of the first lunar month.It was too late that day, so I went back to the mansion to rest for the night.

The next morning, when Tao Anran was still asleep, he felt the warmth leaving beside him, and he couldn't help but suppress the person to prevent them from leaving.

Xiao Jingyu, who got up early and was about to go to court, smiled when he saw this, gently pulled away his hand, handed him the pillow to press down, and tucked in the quilt by the way.It wasn't until she saw that the princess didn't respond and she wasn't woken up that she lightly prepared to go to court.

At the court meeting on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Jingyu officially appeared in the court hall.

When Xiao Jingyu stood in the court hall with a ruddy complexion, and talked about the great victory at the border and asked for credit for the Northwest Army.All the ministers felt that King Zhenbei seemed to have changed a bit. Even if he hadn't seen it before, he had heard of the fierce and gloomy look, but now he didn't seem to see it.On the contrary, they only feel that King Zhenbei looks quite trustworthy today.

Because the ministers didn't have much contact with King Zhenbei, their feelings were only superficial.Especially those who have never met the King of Zhenbei and only heard about his reputation, feel that rumors are harmful at this time.Thinking about it further, I immediately felt that this was a conspiracy.

Emperor Jin De looked at his calm and tough son in the hall, his face was full of joy.But I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I can't believe that he can have such a change when I see him again now.It's very different from before.

After Xiao Jingyu finished talking about the military situation of the past year, Jinde Emperor Longyan Dayue agreed to all the military commendations requested by the Northwest Army.After this incident, there was nothing else in the court, so Emperor Jin De signaled Wang Lu to announce his retirement without incident.

The ministers withdrew from the court one by one, and Xiao Jingci took advantage of this opportunity to quickly say to Xiao Jingyu: "I haven't congratulated the emperor on this border victory. I haven't seen the emperor for more than a year. Not only the father thinks about it day and night, but also the younger brother." I miss you. Now that Brother Huang is back in Beijing, we are finally reunited as a family."

At this time Liang Wang Xiao Jingci was overjoyed, as if he was really happy for his brother's return.Outsiders look like brothers and sisters.

Xiao Jingyu was not in the mood to act with him, so he just said lightly: "Really? I thought you were not happy about my return. Since you are so happy, I will stay in the capital forever, and I hope you will always be happy."

The smile on Xiao Jingci's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "That's natural. The younger brother also wants to go to the imperial brother's residence to disturb the old days, and hope that the imperial brother will not find the younger brother troublesome."

Xiao Jingyu was about to say something when the eunuch Wang Lu walked to the side and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty called you to talk in the imperial study."

This was expected, Xiao Jingyu nodded.Seeing this, Xiao Jingci quickly said: "Since that's the case, then the younger brother will not bother the emperor and father to reminisce about the past, and leave first."

Xiao Jingyu left without waiting for him to finish speaking, regardless of Xiao Jingci's unfinished words later, it seemed that he didn't give Xiao Jingci any face.Xiao Jingci had a dazed look on his face, as if he hadn't thought of this.Then he shook his head and left with a smile on his face, but the smile seemed to be a forced smile.

The ministers are all like human beings. Since King Liang talked to King Zhenbei, their pace of departure has slowed down.Then I witnessed with my own eyes that the smiling brother met the cold-eyed brother, and the hot face met the cold ass.

Ordinary people may think that this elder brother is too indifferent to his younger brother, but most of the people present are ministers who have been immersed in the court for many years, and seeing things is not as simple as just looking at the surface.But when they saw Xiao Jingyu's attitude, they sighed in their hearts that King Zhenbei was still so arrogant, and it seemed that he hadn't changed much from before.

No matter what others think of Xiao Jingyu, he knows that Xiao Jingci's acting is useless.A real confrontation requires real swords and guns, and rhetoric alone will not be useful.And he also believed that these courtiers were not stupid.

Xiao Jingyu walked into the imperial study room familiarly, and Emperor Jin De was already waiting for him in the room.After not seeing each other for a year, looking at the white hair on the sideburns of Emperor Jinde, Xiao Jingyu shouted with a moved face: "I have seen the emperor."

Emperor Jinde helped him up with a tender face, carefully looked at his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and said with a smile: "You look much better than before. How are you doing recently? Are you in good health?"

Xiao Jingyu saw the concern on his face, and quickly replied: "Return to father, my son and minister are all in good health."

Emperor Jinde patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's all."

Then the hand that patted the shoulder paused for a moment, and Emperor Jin De seemed to have realized it, and said in disbelief, "You mean...that your illnesses are all cured?"

There was a tremor in his tone.

Xiao Jingyu nodded solemnly, and replied earnestly: "I met a hermit and gave my minister a pill, and my minister was cured."

Emperor Jinde supported Xiao Jingyu's shoulders with both hands, carefully looked at the feet from head to toe, and then calmed down his joy, and said: "Okay, okay, you can get rid of the root of the disease, and I will explain it to your mother after a hundred years. Come on, talk carefully, How is this going?"

Xiao Jingyu began to explain in detail what happened to Yan Zhen.Of course, some unnecessary parts will be omitted naturally, and some parts will be polished.He is no longer a businessman in the court, just a son who tells his father about the past.

Emperor Jin De's expression changed according to Xiao Jingyu's tone. When he knew that his son was attacked and almost died, his face became angry.Before he had time to get angry, he heard that he took the elixir because of a blessing in disguise, and all his serious illnesses were cured.Emperor Jin De's expression changed several times, and finally he looked happy.

He looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "Since Mr. Jushan saved you, I should reward him well."

Xiao Jingyu quickly replied: "Mr. Ju Shan is indifferent to fame and fortune, and doesn't care about these things. But I have already thanked him very much."

Emperor Jin De nodded, and said, "Thank you very much. By the way, you took the princess to the northwest, and now a year has passed. Is there any good news? I want to hug my grandson."

When mentioning the princess, Xiao Jingyu's eyes softened, and he replied: "My son and the princess have no heirs yet. The princess is still young, and my son is also young. We are not in a hurry."

When Emperor Jin De saw Xiao Jingyu's eyes suddenly softened, he understood something in his heart.He smiled and said, "Jing Yu, do you still blame me for bestowing the marriage?"

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly bowed to Emperor Jinde, and replied: "Father is wise, my son is very grateful to Father for giving me the marriage."

Emperor Jinde laughed loudly and asked, "How is your princess now, why didn't she come to the palace to see me?"

Xiao Jingyu quickly replied: "The concubine also wants to go to the palace to pay a visit, but she is really tired after a long journey. When he is more energetic, I will bring him to pay a visit to the emperor."

Only then did Emperor Jin De stop his desire to see his daughter-in-law.He could tell that these changes in his son were probably all because of his daughter-in-law.

However, Xiao Jingyu's words also reminded him, and he quickly said: "Just knowing that your concubine is tired, you are running all the way. You came to court early. Now go back and rest. Tomorrow is just the Lantern Festival. There is a family banquet in the palace, you bring the princess, and everyone gathers together."

Xiao Jingyu immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, I will definitely bring the princess into the palace for a banquet. I will retire first, and my father should not work too hard."

Emperor Jinde watched Xiao Jingyu retreat with a smile on his face until he was far away.Then he sat on the chair, sighed suddenly, and said: "Sure enough, it's different after getting married, and I know that I love others."

Wang Lu answered softly at the side: "This is thanks to His Majesty's gift of marriage at the beginning!"

Emperor Jinde rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who can flatter. But now they are doing well, so I am relieved."

Wang Lu was also smiling.

Emperor Jinde said again: "It's just that there are no children yet? It's bitterly cold in the northwest, and my brother is already weak. Could it be that he can't adapt to the climate over there?"

Wang Lu kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and dared not answer.

The more Emperor Jin De thought about it, the more likely he felt that the possibility was greater, and he ordered: "Wang Lu, go to the warehouse and pick some nourishing medicinal materials and send them to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. No, the medicinal materials alone are too obvious, and you can pick some more silk. Send the silk and satin and the glazed jade pendant together, and it will be a reward for this year's Chinese New Year."

Wang Lu quickly replied: "Yes, I will do it now, my servant."

He didn't dare to remind that the rewards for this year's Spring Festival had already been sent to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.In the past, even if the prince did not return to the capital, the reward would still be carried into the palace.Now that the prince is back, there is nothing wrong with adding more rewards.
