Chapter 358
After watching Xinwang and his party leave, Xia Daohua followed Lao Wei and Xiaodouzi and continued on their way.

When they met the little emperor, Gu Mingzhen was also there.Without waiting for Gu Mingzhen to speak, the little emperor arranged seats for Lao Wei and Xia Daohua: "Sit whatever you want, you are welcome."

Gu Mingzhen was slightly taken aback, and then, a smile burst onto his lips and the corners of his eyes in an instant, watching the little emperor and Xia Daohua say a few words affectionately, and reminded the little emperor that it was time to get down to business.

The little emperor's originally smiling face immediately became tense, and his childish and serious face made him feel very cute.

He ordered the crowd to retreat, and let Xiaodouzi stand guard outside. Except for one Gu Mingzhen, only the little emperor, Lao Wei and Xia Daohua were left.

Xia Daohua knew that this was something confidential to say.

"Sister Xia, the late emperor did not die."

"..."

Why are you telling me such a confidential matter?
Xia Daohua was confused at first, but when she saw Lao Wei crying, she suddenly understood.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder Gu Mingzhen let go of the old Wei who "knows the inside story" when the first emperor "passed away", and allowed him to leave the palace for the elderly.

It turned out that the pair of fine brothers actually had nothing to do, they just passed away under the pretense of trust, but in fact they abdicated, and went to live the lives of ordinary people at ease.

However, these two brothers are really good at it. They are more capable than the other on weekdays. When encountering a large army, they just quit!And the reason why King Xin did not succeed to the throne, but was conferred the title of King Xin and rushed to the fief, was also because he was tasked with taking good care of the two spirits!

……

"Sister Xia, the northern barbarians have reached Taiping Pass..."

The little emperor looked at Xia Daohua with a small face, and stretched out his little hand to hold her by the corner of her clothes, with sincere admiration on his face:

"I have already issued the imperial edict of King Qin, and I have ordered the elite of the imperial army to guard the pass of the capital, but yesterday Cai Xianggong posted a note saying that the Changping warehouse in the capital caught fire..."

Xia Daohua just couldn't bear the cute child's eager expression, so she comforted him bluntly:

"It's okay, we don't lack food."

The little emperor's face lit up: "Is there really no shortage of food?"

"There is no shortage of food. I dare not say anything else. There is as much food as you want, and it can be shipped to wherever you want. If you want to say too much, we dare not brag. We only say that it will be no problem to feed the soldiers and civilians in the whole capital for two or three years.

It's just a pity - I have to pay for this food, but I have limited money..."

"Isn't it silver money? That's easy to say. There is still a lot of silver in the inner treasury. Besides, even if I don't have gold, silver and copper coins, I still have a lot of gold, jewelry, head jewelry, porcelain lacquerware, bonsai ornaments..."

The little emperor counted his belongings carefully, counting his belongings one by one, with seriousness written all over his face.

Xia Daohua looked at him and felt like pinching his fleshy cheeks, but when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had really done it.

Not only did he pinch it twice with his hands, but he also pulled it to the sides.

The eyes of Gu Mingzhen and Old Wei almost fell off, they were extremely fortunate that there were no outsiders at the scene.It is really wise for the little emperor to dismiss everyone in advance!

The little emperor murmured, his words were a little unclear, he looked at Xia Daohua helplessly, and said inarticulately:
"Sister Xia, the round family is no longer a child's paper. Can you not be so serious?"

Xia Daohua withdrew her hand and said with a smile:
"Okay, Sister Xia listens to you. Why do you have to pay for it yourself? You don't belong to this huge capital city alone. Let all the officials and merchants pay some money! Otherwise, if the capital is weakly defended and falls, how can they escape the butcher's knives of the northern barbarians?"

When Gu Mingzhen heard this, his heart moved.

Certain people should be guarded against, otherwise, maybe they will open the city gate and let the northern barbarians in!
