Chapter 138 Both Father and Son

Xiao Han and Lei Wujie successfully met Emperor Ming.

There are forbidden troops in the palace, and Jinxian and Jinyu in Jingtai Hall, which are heavily guarded.

"Father!"

Emperor Ming had just recovered from a long illness. Although he had been carefully nursed by the imperial doctor, he still couldn't hide his weakness.

The majestic middle-aged emperor in Xiao Han's memory, at this time, only showed his dullness, his originally dull eyes, when he saw Xiao Han, he jumped suddenly and shot a fire of surprise.

"Han'er!"

"Father, Han'er is back!"

Xiao Han knelt down in front of Emperor Ming, his shoulders twitching slightly.

"You are finally willing to come back, let me see quickly."

Emperor Ming pulled Xiao Han up and carefully looked at his face, eyes, nose, lips, arms... Trembling, he hugged Xiao Han into his arms.

"Father, my son is wrong, and my son should not disobey my father."

Xiao Han finally bowed his head to his father.

"Just come back."

Jin Xian and Jin Yu, who were serving in the Jingli Hall, could not help but wipe the moisture from the corners of their eyes.

After their father and son calmed down, Jinxian asked, "His Royal Highness King Yong'an, who is this?"

"He is Lei Wujie, the son of General Lei Mengsha."

Lei Wujie also knelt down: "Lei Wujie pays his respects to His Majesty."

After experiencing Xiao Ling's treason incident, Emperor Ming lost trust in the troops in the army, not to mention that Lei Mengsha was still the direct descendant of the former King Langya.

He took a few glances at Lei Wujie and sighed, "You are so heroic, just like your father."

"Your Majesty, the grassroots are going to sue Xiao Luo, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and destroy my family of Lei's!"

Emperor Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han said solemnly: "Father, when the Eighth Emperor slaughtered Leijiabao, the son was present, which can prove it."

"You came back to the palace because of this matter?"

"Yes."

Knowing the father is not like the son, Xiao Han knew what Emperor Ming wanted to hear, but he had already missed too much time. The story of father's kindness and son's filial piety ended ten years ago.

Now, what he needs is the support of the emperor, not the favor of his father.

Knowing a son is like a father, Emperor Ming looked at this son who had placed all his hopes on him, and finally let go of the so-called justice and faced the life-and-death struggle for the throne.

However, it was too late.

Emperor Ming said slowly: "The Leijiabao incident is a vendetta involving many sects in the Jianghu. The crown prince reported it to me last year."

Hearing the Jianghu vendetta, Lei Wujie suddenly became angry: "It was Xiao Luo who coveted the firearms of the Lei family castle and killed the whole family of the Lei family!"

Jin Xian hurriedly interjected: "Young Master Lei, it's not easy to talk nonsense. The crown prince was besieged by the three sects of Leijiabao, Tangmen and Lingnan Meijia, and you were the ones who attacked first."

"You're not there, how do you know!"

"Li Shaoxia from Qingcheng Mountain, and Miss Wei from Tongqu Pavilion, they are all present."

Lei Wujie said angrily: "Miss Wei left first, Li Fan is Xiao Luo's confidant, what he said can't be taken seriously."

Jinxian smiled: "Then can you take what you say seriously? If you really want to tell the truth, you have to file a complaint with the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Then I'll go to the Ministry of Punishments and sue Xiao Luo for seizing things and killing people!"

"If you lose, it will be a crime of slandering the crown prince, and you should be executed. No one can save you."

Jinxian paused, and then said: "Just like the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu, if you commit a crime, you must die."

Xiao Han's heart sank, he stopped Lei Wujie, and asked Jinxian: "Is the government in the hands of the Eighth Emperor?"

Jinxian nodded slightly.

Xiao Han asked Emperor Ming again: "Father, the Seventh Emperor is the blood of Concubine Xuan. Do you really look at him and ask him to kill him?"

These words touched Emperor Ming's pain, he lowered his face and remained silent.

Xiao Han suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and said again: "Father, my son wants to take up a position in the court, and share the worries of the father."

This request surprised Emperor Ming. He knew that Xiao Han had never been interested in political affairs, and now he wanted to take the post, but he wanted power.

"Which department do you want to go to?"

"The Marshal's Mansion, after the death of Uncle Lan Yuehou, there is no one in the Marshal's Mansion."

"Don't mention that traitor!"

It was because the power of military and military affairs was handed over to Lan Yuehou that the subsequent rebellion of the Three Houses occurred. Emperor Ming was particularly angry at Lan Yuehou's rebellion.

"Father, my son's martial arts have recovered. As long as my son is in charge of the governor's mansion, I will definitely keep my father safe and secure in the prosperous times of the North."

Emperor Ming shook his head: "Han'er, the Governor's Mansion is now managed by Guo Pengju, and it has finally settled down. It is not appropriate to change people frequently."

"Why don't you assign a job to your son-in-law."

After pondering for a long while, Emperor Ming finally said: "Let's go. If you like the northern border, I will assign the northern border to you. I will also give you the area where the Snow White Villa is located."

"Snow White Villa?"

Xiao Han laughed: "Do you know how desolate that place is? It snows for half a year, it can be open for at most five months a year, and there can be at most fifty residents in five months. I can't. You want to give me that area?"

Emperor Ming was surprised: "Since it is desolate, why do you stay there?"

"My son thought that this kind of self-imposed exile could change my father's mind. Who knows, I waited and waited in that desolate place, waiting for a year, two years, three years... I waited for six full years, my father No one was sent to find me."

Jin Xian interjected again: "Your Majesty has sent people to look for them. I don't know how many people have been sent, but there has been no news. They must have been stopped by Jin Qing and others."

The past is over.

Xiao Han closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his voice was already cold: "I refuse to join the feudal clan. If the emperor changes his mind, please send someone to the Chang'an Palace. I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

He pulled Lei Wujie up, bowed to salute, and then left.

"Han'er..."

Emperor Ming called out in a low voice, trying to stretch out his hand to keep him, but stopped in the air in vain.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad, His Royal Highness Chang'an can't think about it for a while, just wait for him to figure it out."

"Help me to the East Palace, I want to see the prince."

Jinxian Jinyu hurried over to support Emperor Ming and headed for the East Palace.

Xiao Luo is in the study.

Seeing Emperor Ming coming, he knew it was Xiao Han's business, so he got up and gave up his seat.

"I know you like a fair deal, so I'll make a deal with you."

"Your Majesty is serious. If you need me to do something, it's okay to just say it."

Emperor Ming looked at Xiao Luo gloomyly: "I will abdicate immediately, and you promise not to hurt Xiao Han's life, and let him go to the feudal domain safely."

This sentence surprised Jinxian Jinyu: "Your Majesty absolutely must not!"

Xiao Luo smiled in his heart, this is the true love between father and son, Emperor Ming did not set such a condition for the dying Chi Wang.

The same father and son, but worlds apart.

"Your Majesty, what if I reject this deal?"

"Then I'll bump my head to death in the East Palace, and I'll live up to your reputation of murdering brothers and uncles, and forcing your father to seize the throne."

"Maybe the King of Chang'an will understand His Majesty's intentions? What he wants is not a vassal. If His Majesty makes this deal, he will definitely lose everything."
