Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 254

"His Royal Highness, would you like some tea?"

The serving maid bowed her head in a waxy voice, watching Xia Bin's unhappy face and carefully lowered her voice.

"Don't drink!"

Xia Bin roared with a straight face, then waved his hand and drove the maid out.

Now that he is in the court hall, although he looks very beautiful on the surface, he doesn't have any real rights. Today, the emperor of Ming Dynasty discussed with his ministers about the opening of the new year's trade ceremony, and he made many suggestions He expressed his willingness to contribute, but Ming Shengdi just sent him away with a few sloppy eyes.

"Hmph, isn't it because I'm afraid that the king will make money from it? If the prince doesn't do this, he will have someone else do it. How long can he guard against it?"

In Xia Bin's heart, he was annoyed at Ming Shengdi's guard against him. The two were clearly father and son, but there was no real friendship between the royal father and son. flattery.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside Xia Bin's mansion, rushing towards the house.

"His Royal Highness! His Royal Highness!"

The man trotted and called Xia Bin loudly, with a very hasty look on his face.

Xia Bin moved his fat body, and impatiently picked out his ears and scolded the hurried boy: "What are you shouting, I am not deaf!"

The little servant knelt down in fear and kowtowed to Xia Bin, said His Highness the Wise King's atonement, and clapped his hands nervously to report.

"His Royal Highness Huixian, the villain is in such a hurry because he has received a letter from Feige, an informant in the potential camp in the frontier. Something big happened in the frontier!"

"Oh, what can happen to the frontier?"

Xia Bin raised his eyebrows, and became interested when he heard the word "Bianjiang".He sent his men to place several informants in the barracks, and followed Xia Qin to the border so that he could report Xia Qin's actions at any time.At this time, the informant Fei Ge passed the letter back to Beijing, could it be that Xia Qin had made some great achievements, which was not good for him?
"This incident is extremely bizarre. Speaking of it, His Royal Highness King Xian may not believe it. That General Jingwu who died for more than ten years...is actually still alive!"

"General Jingwu..." Xia Bin squinted his eyes and recalled the memory in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, General Jingwu was killed at Baiyun Pass back then, and Ming Shengdi ordered people to collect his bones.It’s just that when General Jingwu died, his corpse had been shot by the Huns’ chaotic swords, and the people who collected the bones handed over the remains to the frontier soldiers, cremated them, put them in the ashes, and buried them in Jingwu In the ancestral tomb of the General's Mansion.

The fact that a person who has been crushed to ashes can still be resurrected from the dead can only show that everything in the past was just an illusion.Including the corpse that was shot beyond recognition by random arrows, all of them were deliberately created to cover up the fact that General Jingwu was still alive.

"You said that General Jingwu is still alive in this world. Could it be that General Jingwu devoted himself to Xia Qin's faction, and that's why the camp's middle-line personnel rushed to report?"

"That's not the case!" The boy shook his head and said frankly, "The letter sent by the informant Fei Ge stated that General Jingwu didn't die back then, but was hidden by the Huns. They couldn't bear it." After more than ten years, but at the end of the battle between the two armies and when Dalai was about to win, General Jingwu was carried out, and he threatened Dalai with his life in exchange for five cities, intending to do business with robbers."

After hearing this, Xia Bin suddenly thought, the Huns' defeat this time was undoubtedly because of Huang Chenyan, a female hero and military think tank in Dalai.Huang Chenyan, who rose later, happened to be the only daughter of General Jingwu.

General Jingwu's mansion produced two heroes who fought against the Xiongnu, which is not disloyal.When Huang Chenyan was acting on behalf of his father, he encountered a ridiculous deal in which the life of the Xiongnu general Jingwu was exchanged for the city of Dalai. How would he choose?
Xia Bin couldn't help but smiled when he was shocked, the Huns were really scheming, they hid one person so well for more than ten years, if it wasn't because Huang Chenyan was in charge of the army this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have hidden him. General Jingwu showed his hole card.

The Xiongnu people have made thousands of calculations, and their purpose is to use the life of General Jingwu to embarrass the frontier soldiers, but how can Huang Chenyan decide to use Dalai City to make a deal.

"If Huang Chenyan was the only one in the army to make the decision, the Huns' conditions might be fulfilled, but the crown prince is also among them, and he should be in charge of the orders for the five cities of Dalai. With the crown prince's character, how can he Maybe you sacrificed your interests to exchange for General Jingwu.”

"It is precisely because of this that something big happened!"

The boy looked up excitedly, looked at Xia Bin and said word by word: "The crown prince puts great importance on big business, and he would never exchange the talisman of five cities for the life of General Jingwu, even bluntly. I want to tell the emperor that the frontier soldiers are dishonest. As a result, Huang Chenyan, the daughter of the frontier soldiers and General Jingwu, became furious, and tied up His Highness the Crown Prince and locked him in the big tent... "

"what?!"

Xia Bin suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief: "How dare they?"

"Rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that Huang Chenyan and General Jingwu are biological father and daughter... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not save his biological father, so how can he expect Huang Chenyan to help him? "

The sudden occurrence of such a thing was unexpected to Xia Bin. Huang Chenyan, as a subordinate who assisted Xia Qin, committed the crime and detained Xia Qin. This is a serious crime.If Xia Tian returned to Beijing frequently, she would definitely not let Huang Chenyan and those people who helped her in the frontier go.

But until now, there was not a single word of news coming back to Shangjing.It can be seen that the border area has been tightly controlled by Huang Chenyan and others. Before General Jingwu returns to Beijing safely, Xia Qin may not be able to escape their control.

"His Royal Highness..." the servant called out to him, pulling Xia Bin back from his contemplation.

"Although this happened suddenly, it is undoubtedly a good time for His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Xia Bin's brows moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

He propped up his chin with one hand, and rubbed the rough and slightly grown stubble with his thumb, his eyes glowed darkly.

"This king naturally knows that the timing is good. Xiaqin was detained by Huang Chenyan and the others, and the news could not reach the ears of the father for a while. If this time, the king can use the short gap time to return to Beijing in Xiaqin If he was replaced before, then the overall situation will be settled when he comes back, and it will not help if he refuses to accept it!"

It's just how to do it to replace Xia Qin, but it is a tricky place for him.

Ming Shengdi's mind is becoming more and more suspicious now.He often tried his best to curry favor with Ming Shengdi, but it didn't seem to have any effect. It was so difficult before, but now how can he quickly win Ming Shengdi's trust and reliance on him in a short period of time...

"Then what does His Royal Highness have to prepare in advance?" the servant asked, making a hands-on gesture at Xia Bin.

Xia Bin shook his head, raised his hand to stop the words behind him, and said: "This matter is of great importance, you must not be rash and reckless, and let me think it over carefully before making a decision..."

Just when Xia Bin hesitated and lowered his eyes to think deeply.Another low voice suddenly sounded in front of the house door.

"His Royal Highness, why are you still hesitating? Now is a golden opportunity. If you don't act, how long will you have to wait!"

Xia Bin searched for the sound, and saw that the speaker was wrapped in a brown robe, and his wild goatee was meticulously combed.

"Master Qi...?"

Xia Bin rubbed his forehead, he had made an agreement with Lord Qi to discuss matters after the morning court, but just now he was fascinated by the news reported by the servant, but he forgot to even have an appointment with someone.

Lord Qi cupped his hands and made a bow towards Xia, looking up at him: "I have just heard what the young man said clearly at the door. His Royal Highness, now His Royal Highness is being detained, and the frontier is thousands of miles away. Even if he is out of the control of Huang Chenyan and others, it will take a long time to turn against him after returning to Beijing."

"You have been suppressed by him for so many years, and now is the best time to step on him! If you don't act, your chances will be even slimmer when Xia Qin returns to Shangjing...His Royal Highness, in order to succeed you Datong has made so many preparations, and now it's time to finish!"

Xia Bin sighed heavily from his chest, and rested one hand on the table in front of him, knocking anxiously. The so-called act and what method to use to act is undoubtedly a difficult task. question.

"What you said is indeed good, but although there is an opportunity now, there is no breakthrough. You have also seen the attitude of the emperor these days. If you want to win his trust, you can rely on it. It is not easy to replace Xia Qin in terms of fame. "

"What if the emperor's consent is not required for this matter at all? His Royal Highness has both ability and political integrity, so why can't he be the master of the world by himself?" Lord Qi suddenly lowered his voice deeply, and looked at him fixedly.

Xia Bin never expected Lord Qi to make such a sudden statement, he was a little surprised, and didn't answer immediately, but watched him frown thoughtfully, and said in a dumb voice with embarrassment: "Master Qi, do you know that you are now What are you talking about? Such outrageous and outrageous words, it’s fine to say it in front of this king, if it is accidentally spread outside, wouldn’t it make others think that this king has something wrong in his mind? "

Mr. Qi has always been a member of Xia Bin's faction, and he is admired by Xia Bin because of his mastery of tactics. At this time, when he asked Xia Bin, his expression was extraordinary, and he didn't stop what he said, but asked further questions.
