Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 243

How does this make him say?The second prince is no longer in his hands, and his Majesty the Emperor himself released him.If the ministers were to know, I don’t know how much money will come up, but he can’t be blamed. As the king of a country, he should keep his promises. In order to get the second prince to confess that he conspired with the queen to assassinate the palace, He promised to let him go as long as he told the truth, and then the second prince said it, didn't he fulfill his promise and let him go?

He is the emperor, so of course he must count what he says, not to mention that there were so many people around him who heard it with their own eyes.

But now, how to say that the second prince is gone, the emperor is worried.

At this moment, an official stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can ask you a question?"

"Ask what, Ai Qing said yes." The emperor couldn't get angry with the amiable minister.

"I don't know, is the second prince of Xishu Kingdom still imprisoned in the palace?"

"Well, this." The emperor didn't expect to be poked at this question all at once. After a pause for a long time, he still couldn't come up with any good excuses. As the king of a country, even if he makes excuses, he can't be caught. Yes, after a while I had to change the topic, "Why would Aiqing ask such a question?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, because a few days ago, I happened to be on a trip, and I seemed to see the second prince at the gate of the city. Later, I also went to guard the city gate to confirm that the second prince had indeed left the city, and I still have an order to leave the city in my hand. I don’t know what’s going on here?”

The official didn't say anything, and the emperor stamped the seal on the oral order, but he couldn't say these things, and he couldn't ask the emperor why he let the enemy's hostage go back to the country.

"My lord, is there really such a thing?"

As soon as the words were uttered, the whole court started to discuss, and for a while, some people were panicked and whispered loudly.

The emperor touched his temples irritably and frowned. He was really annoyed at the official who told the truth just now. Although he said the truth, it may be out of good intentions, for the sake of the country and the people, but , How does this make him speak?Telling the real reason, could it be that because of the investigation of the assassination of the little princess, he gave such a promise without thinking clearly for a while, and spared the second prince of Xishu Kingdom?In this way, not only the ministers would be dissatisfied with him as the emperor, but also the little princess.

"Quiet! You are making my head hurt!" The emperor became angry and shouted, and the noise in the hall suddenly disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, the only person in the court who didn't whisper to each other was General Xu, the leader of the generals - Xu Mu.

Perhaps it was a blessing to the soul, Xu Mu, who has always been not very sensitive, contacted everything, and because he was very close to the emperor's throne, he noticed the emperor's troubled and troubled expression, and suddenly guessed a reason.

Could it be that the reason why His Majesty is so entangled and unwilling to speak out is related to the little princess's assassination in the palace last time?The second prince was arrested because he was there at the time, so there must be a reason why the emperor allowed the second prince to go out of the city, and this reason should not be made public casually. It must be detrimental to His Majesty the Emperor, or to other special people. People are not good.

The second prince of Xishu Kingdom is a hostage and cannot be easily killed or let go, because this is related to the interests of the relationship between the two countries, and it should be an important matter that is placed on the interests of a country.It is impossible for His Majesty to let him go easily, so unless there is something very important, or someone or something he cares about, His Majesty will let him go, but he cannot be open and honest with the officials.

The little princess should be one of the people His Majesty cares about very much.Xu Mu also thought of the "big event" in the palace, the event that the queen and the eldest princess were thrown into the Guhua Palace, maybe it was all related to the little princess!

Xu Mu thought, maybe he already knew the reason.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead my troops to fight against the enemy!"

If it is because of Little Xingxing, then he is willing and obliged!Guarding her and protecting her is the happiest thing he has tried to do in his entire life!
"Haha," the emperor burst out laughing, and it was the first time he uttered such a pleasant and happy laugh to Xu Mu, because he relieved his predicament, the emperor was full of gratitude to Xu Mu at this moment, "Xu Aiqing is indeed the leader of the country. Dongliang, the great hero of the nation, stand up when the country is in danger, with Xu Aiqing here, why should I worry about the country being unstable!"

Although it was words of praise, there were also some other things that Gu Zuo said. The emperor said a lot of words of praise this time, and those words of praise came out of his mouth for free, which quite frightened all the civil and military officials.

"If Xu Aiqing can come back victorious, I will definitely grant you the position of Hussar General, lead the generals, and become the number one general of the Platinum Kingdom!" The emperor was very happy, and after saying good things, he made such an important promise. Rewards have been prepared beforehand.

Xu Mu bowed his head to take the order, and then Deng Zhixiang also volunteered after him. With the two of them, there were several generals with them, so Longyan was very happy, and everyone gave him a reward, and promised that he would be appointed as an official and a nobleman after victory. , the emperor finally bowed down with a smile.

"Okay, next court!"

After an order was given, the morning court disbanded.

The emperor took a deep breath, and finally passed the embarrassing moment just now. At this moment, he felt happy physically and mentally. He didn't need to say it himself, and someone took the initiative to solve the important border issue.

"Your Majesty, you are still very happy today, but because of General Xu?" Eunuch Fu is the best at observing words and expressions, and at this moment he speaks to the emperor's heart.

"Well, isn't it? I usually look at him as a taciturn person, but I didn't expect him to be quite good at critical moments, and he is still reliable. Little Fuzi, tell me, this taciturn person is also good. Look at those The eloquent officials didn't intend to let me go at all in the court. Today, it's really thanks to that kid Xu Mu."

On the road, the emperor's feet were blown by the wind, his hands were behind his back, and he was walking fast.

"Then Your Majesty, if General Xu can return victorious, will you reward him heavily?"

"Haha, of course!" The emperor readily agreed, "What I said with my own mouth is absolutely true. If he returns from victory, the first rank Hussar General will be his."

"Then, what if General Xu himself has other requirements?" Eunuch Fu continued to ask, very cautiously.

"Well," the emperor was a little surprised, and turned to look at Eunuch Fu, "What do you mean, isn't he still greedy? Can't he want a bigger honor?"

"I didn't mean that, I just thought about it. I heard that General Xu has no family. If His Majesty can grow up beautifully, I'm afraid that General Xu will be loyal to you in the future!"

"Oh," the emperor suddenly understood what Eunuch Fu meant, and nodded with narrowed eyes, "That's right, you little Fuzi, you still have a lot of tricks, which makes sense. No one is invincible. I really need him to guard the territory for me. However, the master of the earthquake has always had this skill. The first-rank hussar general has reached the highest position. If he wants to be higher in the future, that is Not anymore. But what you said is right, if you can win him over by marriage, preferably the one with the most capital, then I won't have too many worries in the future."

"What your Majesty said is true." In fact, Eunuch Fu still wanted to say that the one with the most capital is actually in the palace, so I don't know if His Majesty will be willing to let it go, but he is still more careful now. Some things should not be said easily, otherwise it will be Get burned.

"Let's look at it when the time comes, and let the concubine Xian help to see, if there is a sensible noble lady who can make him happy, it is not impossible to do something good." The emperor thought for a while, and then he thought simply.

Eunuch Fu didn't speak any more, and respectfully led the emperor into the palace.

In the evening, a figure came out of Qingxin Hall, talked to Eunuch Fu for a while, looked around vigilantly, and then left quickly.

The candles were brightly lit, and Mu Fang was standing in front of Gu Qingxin, reporting the day's events, as well as the emperor's reaction and words.

It's not unreasonable to look at a beauty under the lamp. With her swan-like neck hanging down, Gu Qingxin's voice was faint, as if it penetrated the brightness of the candlelight and directly irradiated into the heart of a person.

He said in a low and deep voice, "It seems that the father will not agree for the time being, but he will always agree."

"Well, yes, master. But master, have you really decided?" Mu Fang asked again cautiously, she has been with the master for so long, and she is able to do things well, although Xiangsi, Hongdou and even Wuying old man have recognized many The general is the destination to stand beside the future princess, but she always feels that the master deserves better.

"Don't you want to leave the palace? The palace looks splendid, but it's actually just a cage."

"No, of course the servant wants to leave the palace." Hearing this, Mu Fang almost burst into tears. The palace has very strict requirements on maids of honor, and she can only go home once every three years. She has long wanted to go back to see her family. Although someone sent back some money and clothes, she didn't go there by herself. She used to think that His Highness the Princess would go out to build a palace, so that she could go back a few more times.
