"My Majesty, that is indeed the case. This is Lord Qutu's entrusted minister's request for war. Please allow him to lead troops to the border to guard against Xirong." Cheng Rong handed over a memorial with his eyebrows bent.

"Ju Tu is willing to abandon the past and continue to serve the country. It is indeed a blessing for the country. By the way, Cheng Rong, did you mention the fact that you were arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time?" Ming Gong thought for a while. , asked suddenly.

Cheng Rong clasped his hands and said, "Report to the King, Lord Qutu didn't mention it when he asked his ministers to present the memorial."

"Looks like it's the queen's face, so Dutu has no way to refuse." Mingong couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and sighed.

The gate of Haojing city, on this day, the north wind was bitter and the cold air was biting. Qutu took An Tong and rode away on a fast horse. Lai frowned.

"My lord, what's the matter? We finally escaped from the capital, why are you still so unhappy?" An Tong stared at Qu Tu in surprise.

"An Tong, I'm worried that Si'er will become more and more difficult and dangerous in the palace in the future. It's a pity that I can't resign and live in seclusion and concentrate on protecting her in secret." Jue Tu murmured in a daze.

"My lord, it turned out that this is the original intention of your resignation and seclusion. Don't worry, the empress is so kind, gentle and kind, and everything will be fine." An Tong comforted with a smile.

This is simply blatant bribery, Mr. Prime Minister, you and my brother , what is there to say? Why do you want to give this gold?"

Lu Kai stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "Master Cheng, please be safe and don't be impatient. If you don't act like this, how can you come to my mansion in person? In fact, I have something important to discuss with you. "

"What's the matter? My lord wants to find me?" Cheng Rong asked doubtfully.

Lu Kai winked to the left and right, and the servants retreated one after another, before Lu Kai said kindly, "It's the important matter of establishing the crown prince."

"Establishing a crown prince?
