Your majesty, your queen has run away again

Chapter 153 Secret News
"Father, is Zheng Yuanhao really Zheng Guogong's distant nephew?"

Xia Yuanting said nothing about Zheng Yuanhao's series of compliments, Xia Shize raised his eyebrows and asked another question.

Xia Yuanting was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his son speechlessly and said helplessly: "Okay, if you win, you know there is nothing you, a kid, don't know, but I'll save this question for now and reveal the answer at a critical moment. Bar!"

Xia Shize couldn't deny it, and acquiesced to Xia Yuanting's suggestion.

"The general Zhao Shimeng of Southern Xinjiang was a protégé of Duke Wu in his early years. Although he was not young and made great achievements and was not as conspicuous as Zheng Yuanhao, the place in Southern Xinjiang has been able to remain peaceful until now. He is a man of some ability! He has always been in close contact with Duke Wu, and his son has even made an engagement with Duke Wu's eldest granddaughter, so he can be regarded as a solid chess piece for His Royal Highness..."

After talking about the northern border, Xia Yuanting began to describe the situation in the southern border.

"Wu Guogong's granddaughter? Is that Wu Shiyu?"

Xia Shize frowned and asked, did he still remember that Wu Shiyu attended the palace banquet just now, and that palace banquet was obviously only for unmarried men and women to attend.

"You actually know Wu Shiyu? Could it be that you have any thoughts about her?"

Xia Yuanting was taken aback. When did his own son know someone else's granddaughter? He knew that Wu Guogong's granddaughter was named Wu Shiyu, who looked like a fairy. Could it be that his own son also fell in love with it?

"Father, you think too much. It's Xiang'er who always yells at Wan'er that Wu Guogong's granddaughter is so and so like a fairy. It's hard for me not to remember!"

As for what Wu Shiyu looks like, Xia Shize is not concerned about it. In his eyes, women are divided into two types: those he cares about and those he doesn't care about.

Hearing that Xia Yuanting patted his chest, he calmed down his agitated mood just now. Fortunately, he didn't fall in love with him, otherwise it would be really difficult.

"Wu Guogong has two granddaughters, the one in Licheng is the youngest, and his eldest granddaughter and Licheng are twins. But at that time, there were experts who told me that one child and two phoenixes are not easy to support, and the big one is destined to die. It is not suitable to be kept in the mansion, and the farther the better, otherwise it will affect the luck of the mansion, and the expert also saw that the young one was blessed, so Wu Guogong decided to send the big one away..."

Xia Yuanting looked down on Wu Guogong a little bit, he believed his own children and had the heart to send them away. According to him, one child with two daughters was a great blessing.

"Then Wu Guogong sent his eldest granddaughter to the Zhao family?"

Xia Shize didn't expect such a thing to happen, so it's no wonder that Wu Shiyu is about the same age as him. If his sister was sent away when he was born, no one mentioned it after that, so naturally he wouldn't know.

"Smart! The Zhao family raises Ms. Wu as their own child, and getting engaged to their son's childhood sweetheart is a natural thing. Sending a granddaughter to win a loyal backer, this old guy also sees far away! "

Xia Yuanting now felt that Wu Guogong's actions really killed two birds with one stone, maybe Wu Guogong had such an idea in the first place.

"Perhaps Miss Wu and her mother don't think so!"

Xia Shize thought that no child would be willing to live in someone else's house and no mother would have the heart to send her own flesh and blood away. Maybe Miss Wu and Mrs. Wu were just outrageous and dare not speak out against the old Duke.

Xia Yuanting thought about it for a while and thought it was the same: "Well, I heard that Wu Guogong's daughter-in-law is Miss Wu's mother who stays in seclusion all the year round, and the relationship with Wu Guogong's son is not so harmonious. If it weren't for the fact that there are many wives and concubines in his family, I thought he was also the same. I also have a soft spot. According to what you say, it is possible that the rift caused by this is not impossible!"

Xia Shize's eyes flickered: "I will let someone investigate. Then what does His Majesty want to do?"

Since Emperor Hengchang knew that the two most important frontier defenses were controlled by the Prince and King Heng respectively, he would definitely take action.

"The timing is just right. This year happens to be the third year of the rotation. His Majesty intends to take this opportunity to call all the generals from the four directions to Licheng first, and then announce the distribution. Because these are old rules, no one will No worries. But once you arrive at Licheng and hand in the soldier talisman, it's all up to His Majesty what to do!"

Xia Yuanting thought that Emperor Hengchang was probably waiting for this day after he endured it for so long.
"Jiang is really old and hot! A large force of the crown prince and King Heng has been emptied..."

For Emperor Hengchang, Xia Shize has always thought that he is a rare man with both martial arts and foresight, and the thoughts of the prince and King Heng can never escape his eyes.

"Well, Prince Heng is still very immature. What they have learned all these years has been used to bite each other. It's useless!"

Xia Yuanting let out a sigh!
"Congratulations to Father and Uncle Murong for fulfilling their wish!"

Xia Shize would not feel sorry for the prince and the others, knowing that his and Yun Qi's wishes were about to be fulfilled, he stood up and bowed to Xia Yuanting.

"You brat, it's the two of you who want to get what you want. By the way, do you have any other reasons for choosing Southern Border?"

Xia Yuanting always felt that there were some special reasons why his son insisted on going to southern Xinjiang.

"What I told my father before is a reason, and I have a guess that I want to confirm, but the time has not come yet, and I will let you know the result later!"

Xia Shize just instinctively speculated about that matter, but he didn't want to talk nonsense until there was no conclusive evidence.

"Well, Dad knows that you don't have your reasons, and I don't bother to care about it. In short, you have to prepare yourself. It is not so easy to gain a foothold in the southern border. Relatively speaking, it is not easy for Yun to go to the northern border. But it might be better with Ling Kai's influence!"

Xia Yuanting was never worried about Xia Shize's safety. If the members of the Xia family couldn't even guarantee this, then there was no need to continue their glory, and they could just live on their ancestors' laurels obediently.

"When will I be able to leave?"

Now that Emperor Hengchang has made this decision, it is estimated that the imperial decree will come down soon.

"The general guarding the frontier and his family members should be able to reach Licheng years ago. You and Yun Qi should go to the destination secretly before their arrival. You will not spend this year in Licheng!"

Emperor Hengchang's arrangement was to let Xia Shize and Murong Yunxiang get acquainted with the environment there as soon as possible, so that it would be easier for people to act in secret, and it was also to prevent Zheng Yuanhao and Zhao Shimeng from retaliation once their new appointments were announced.

Just like Xia Shize and Murong Yunqi's analysis, this is the best way, here is the imperial decree, and the two of them will immediately take office with the secret decree, so that those who are interested will be caught off guard.

"Okay, I know it! Father, do you think that His Majesty has some other meanings for the double suppression of the crown prince and King Heng?"
