away from the heart

Chapter 61
Xing Chen went down to bandage the wound, thinking in his heart: just now he heard father yelling the name of the emperor's biological father in his sleep, he seemed very frightened.But I don't know why.He returned to the hall, and tentatively asked: "Father, did you just have a nightmare?"

The emperor frowned, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this." He handed Xing Chen a brochure, "Now that the world has just been settled, Xue Yao has written a letter a few days ago to resign from the position of Marshal of the Army and Horses."

Xingchen glanced at it, and found that the whole story was just some high-sounding clichés.The royal father has been jealous of the Xue family for a long time, and let Xue Yao marry the princess. This military power can't be kept, he is not surprised.

I also heard the emperor say: "I have read all the strategies for governing the army that the Guozijian asked the supervisor to write. After all, a group of scholars only know how to quote classics. Only your article has some practical points."

Xing Chen humbly said: "My son is just talking on paper."

"There is no need to be humble." The emperor was more satisfied when he saw that the stars did not show arrogance at all. "After Xue Yao resigned, I will let Admiral Su temporarily lead the three armies. Now I will give you the title of general, and you can borrow it." Take the opportunity to go to the army for some experience."

Xingchen hurriedly knelt down in fear and fear, and received the order to thank him.

After leaving the main hall, Xingchen hesitated for a while, then walked towards the Xingxing Pavilion.

There are so many volumes in Zhaixing Pavilion, Xingchen asked the little boy, found the storage place of the classics of the previous national teachers, and rummaged through the rows of bookshelves.I searched around, but I didn't see any handwriting of the former Great Master Chu Huaiming, let alone records.Thinking of the fearful state of his father in the dream, he became suspicious: Could it be that there is something hidden in the death of the royal sister's biological father?
Someone behind him suddenly called him: "Prince Shun."

Xingchen turned around in surprise: "Is the national teacher out of customs?"

Dong Shi nodded, looked at the bookshelf turned by Xingchen, and asked, "Why did the prince come to the Xingxing Pavilion?" Seeing Xingchen's expression of hesitation, he said leisurely, "It's okay, if it's inconvenient for the prince to tell, Dong Shi won't ask. .”

Xing Chen showed embarrassment: "For these years, the national teacher has worked hard to keep the secret of the birthstone for the emperor. Xingchen has nothing to say to the national teacher. I want to know... How did the great national teacher die back then?"

"When Master was alive, the world was full of wars. Master assisted the emperor. In order to save the people of Nansang from fire and water, he used the birthstone again and again to spy on the secrets of heaven and turn the world around until he exhausted all opportunities to counterattack. Master died loyally for the country. Why does your lord ask such a question?"

"Whether the crime of Huai Bi is for the country and the people, or for the selfish desires of some people..."

Dong Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is there any difference between being loyal to the emperor and being devoted to the country? The prince is careful."

Xingchen clenched his fists tightly: "I must not let my sister be used by others because of the birthstone. This matter has been hidden for so many years, and now I must not let my father know."

"Master's last wish is for the princess to live a safe and smooth life. I will be with the prince to protect the princess well." Dong Shi frowned, "It's just that the gang of assassins who coveted the princess before have found any clues?"

Xing Chen shook his head: "The people behind the scenes are very cunning, the assassin has never shown up since that day."

"My lord, you don't have to worry too much. The Skynet is not leaking. As long as you are patient, the assassin will always show his feet."
