Chapter 364
Xiaolu is the person in charge of protecting the little emperor. The emperor trusts him, so naturally he will not avoid him if he wants to talk to Huo Jiujiu.

He is also the best at diluting his own sense of existence, lowering his head and making decorations aside. Unexpectedly, Huo Shijiu is so blatantly arranging the crime on his head.

The little emperor was suspicious, and looked back at Xiaolu.

Xiaolu also raised her eyes in astonishment, her eyes were surprised and innocent.

Such a vicious Zhongyong Gong!He believed that he did not do anything excessive to him today, and he was extremely careful not to show emotion in his words.It's not enough to avoid him in a hurry, but now he has made such a scene.

He was well aware of the little emperor's suspicion.Even people like Duke Zhongyong who have followed him loyally for many years can doubt him, let alone him?
Duke Zhongyong was suspected, at least he would not lose his life immediately.He is different.

Even if he is trusted by the emperor, he is just a servant.

Xiaolu lowered her eyes nervously.I hope the little emperor can figure it out.Mr. Zhongyong does one thing in front of his face and another behind his back, as long as he turns his mind around, he can get it.

But Huo Shijiu said: "I am indeed a little anxious in my heart. I think Eunuch Lu is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. When he answers the questions, he is concerned about the emperor's misunderstanding."

With such an explanation, for Xiaolu, it was a turnaround at the summit.

The little emperor gave a faint "hmm", his face paled.

Xiaolu let go of her hanging heart.There was cold sweat on the back.He understood Huo Jiujiu's intention.He is trying to establish his prestige, although his relationship with the emperor is not as good as before, but it is not difficult to really deal with a subordinate!If he wants to act secretly in the future, he may have to weigh it carefully!
The little emperor is not in the mood to deal with a slave right now.If it is said that Huo Jiujiu resisted the decree, Xiaolu is not a slip of the tongue, he really did not bring Qijin.He doesn't intend to stop there, either.

"I didn't expect Brother Ying to care about things like rumors. It's just some stupid people who gossip about family affairs as gossip after dinner. As long as you and I act righteously, why should we care about what people say?" Nineteen taught him.

Huo Shijiu smiled: "Unexpectedly, the emperor still remembers."

"I remember every word Brother Ying said." The little emperor was a little emotional.

Huo Shijiu smiled and said: "The emperor should also remember the circumstances under which the minister said this sentence."

The little emperor was taken aback by the question.

At that time, the British Duke monopolized the power. As the king of a country, he could not touch the government and live in the palace. The ministers treated him perfunctorily, treating him as a display. In order to survive, he had to pretend to be a fool and ruin his own reputation with his own hands.

These words were what Huo Shijiu taught him at that time.During that most depressing period of time, he was not overwhelmed because he had such a mood.

"Does your majesty still remember? But the majesty uses this sentence now, and the ministers are embarrassed by it!"

The softness of the little emperor's heart had just been touched when he was stabbed by the sarcasm in Huo Jiujiu's words.

"What do you mean?!"

"Doesn't the emperor understand?" Huo Shijiu smiled sarcastically.

That smile was indescribably dazzling in the little emperor's eyes.

What he meant was clearly: it is embarrassing and chilling to be crowned with such an upright rhetoric.

His face was hot and he was in such embarrassment, but he was forced by a courtier...

The little emperor and Huo Jiujiu looked at each other silently, and they were speechless for a while.

Even Jing Tong and Xiao Lu sensed that the situation between them was not right, so they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"The emperor refused to allow his ministers to retire, and sent them to send troops. This is already a breach of promise. Moreover, it is not wise to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin now."

As the son of heaven, how could the little emperor bear such blunt reprimands, "Then you don't come to the palace to speak to me in these few days, and you will only act as an afterthought after the decree has been issued!"

"I thought the emperor would use his brain to think about it."

"you!"

Long time no see, the little emperor never expected to meet again, they still couldn't talk properly,
"I have made up my mind about sending troops. Since Brother Ying has accepted the order, there is nothing to say. Also, I just asked my adopted son to stay in the palace for a while. Brother Ying is pushing back and forth like this. He really sees me as a Outsiders. I am the Son of Heaven after all. Brother Ying is so disrespectful. If you really don’t punish me, what will people think of me? How will I rule in the future? So you don’t have to think too much about it, Brother Ying. Bring Qijin here, so as not to make a fight and make Jiang suffer."

The little emperor stood in front of Huo Shijiu with his hands behind his back.

Huo Shijiu looked at him calmly, and took a deep breath for a long time.

"Put this aside for now, I still have something to say to the emperor."

"What's the matter?"

Huo Jiujiu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the little emperor.

"This is the communication between the Ninth Prince and Liu Yuanan, the current guard of the Gyeonggi Camp, which my people have intercepted these days. Your Majesty can see why I do not approve of the emperor sending troops to the Kingdom of Jin."

The little emperor raised his eyebrows.

"If you have such a letter, why didn't you take it out just now?"

Huo Nineteen shook his head and remained silent.

In fact, this time he was acting on his own will, just wanting to see the little emperor's reaction.It seems that he thinks too highly of himself, so in the heart of the little emperor, his status is nothing more than that.

The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu suspiciously, and then turned to read the letters.The more you look at it, the more you frown, and finally angrily said: "Is this true?"

"The emperor should know the character of the minister, there is no need to frame the Ninth Prince and Liu Yuan'an."

Not long after Lu Tianming fled the country of Yan with his cronies, the little emperor arranged for Liu Yuanan to take over the soldiers and horses of the Gyeonggi camp.

Unexpectedly, he had such close contacts with the Ninth Prince in private.

Huo Shijiu said: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince suggested that you send troops. It really has ulterior motives. The Jin Kingdom is strong, and a minister with a hundred thousand troops may not be able to defeat him. When the time comes, not to mention laboring people and money, the most important thing is that there is no spare energy to take care of it." Kyoto. It’s okay if the Ninth Prince does his duty, but if he becomes disobedient and the most important soldiers and horses go to the front line, what will happen to you here? Your majesty, you must first settle down when you fight against the outside world. It’s a good thing that you have great talents , but before acting, we must first clean up our own end."

The little emperor finally realized the seriousness of the matter.Holding the secret report submitted by Huo Shijiu, he leaned to the left on the Luohan bed, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Huo Shijiu gave an overview of what Cao Yu saw when he went to and from the Nine Princes' Mansion quietly these days.

The little emperor couldn't hold back his anger: "Bastard, he dared to push me like this! If I listened to him, wouldn't I have fallen into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

Huo Nineteen secretly shook his head.In fact, the little emperor has already fallen for it.This is just to find a place for myself.

And he also knew that the little emperor might not fully believe what he said now, so he would definitely check again.

"I have explained everything I want to go back, and the emperor can send people to investigate. It's just that it is very wrong for me to lead troops to the Kingdom of Jin."

"But I have already issued the decree, and the letter of credence has also been issued..."

The little emperor was a little anxious, and habitually looked at Huo Jiujiu.In the past, if he had things that he couldn't handle properly, he would hand them over to Huo Shijiu, and Huo Shijiu would find a way for him no matter how difficult it was.

But this time, Huo Shijiu just lowered his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, I have already explained what I want to go back to. It's getting late, the Emperor should also rest, and I will leave."

The little emperor pursed his lips.I am afraid that the two of them will never return to the days when they could be called "depending on each other".

Indeed, I heard that there were various entanglements between them.He did kill his family, and he couldn't live with him.But didn't he also fight with him several times and disobey him?He treated him more and more coldly, as if he was an outsider, as if they had never experienced trouble together at all.

If his resignation is from the heart, then his insistence on leaving is a small betrayal.What if he used the pretense of resigning from office to avoid people's eyes and ears for other purposes?

Even the Ninth Prince, who he thought was the least likely to have any problems, had such an ambition...

In fact, he had thought about it earlier.After moving to the British Duke, will Huo Shijiu become the second British Duke with power.

He was really relieved that he was going to resign.

He is conflicted.Huo Shijiu left, he was reluctant, Huo Shijiu stayed, and he was worried...

The little emperor waved his hand, "Forget it, you go."

Huo Shijiu saluted and was sent out by Jing Tong.

The little emperor turned around and told Xiaolu: "Go and check whether what he said is true."

"Yes." Xiaolu bowed and stepped back.

There was no one else in the room, so the little emperor could finally calm down and think about what he should do if the story about the Ninth Prince was true.

I don't know if the matter of seven catties is because the little emperor didn't mention it anymore because he had serious business to do.

A few days later it was New Year's Eve, the little emperor sent someone to invite him, but Huo Shijiu reasoned that he had caught a cold and was unable to enter the palace.

The servant was sent away.Jiang Wu smiled and said: "You treat the emperor like this, he is afraid that he will die of anger. What should you do to punish your crime?"

"The worst is just like this." After Huo Shijiu Xiaohe finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Wu'er, it's not suitable to stay in the capital for a long time, and it's time for you to take the children and leave."

Jiang Wu's smile froze on her face.

"I think we've already discussed this topic. I've discussed it with Mr. Du, and he will naturally protect the safety of the three children. If you go on an expedition, I must be by your side."

"I don't allow it." Huo Jiu said in a deep voice: "That's a battlefield, not a joke. If you are a girl, following me will make me worry!"

"Don't forget who saved your group of men in the battle of Huang Yushan!" Jiang Wu was also anxious: "There is no discussion on this matter. Even if you go to the dragon's lake and tiger's lair, I will definitely follow!"

Huo Shijiu pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Wu helplessly: "It's fine if both of us, husband and wife, are fine. If we both have something to do, what should we do with the children? Anyway, we should make two preparations and save one for the children. You take the children with you We followed Mr. Du secretly to the south to find our parents, I still have Moran here."

"Do you think that the emperor won't doubt me if I don't follow you? You are not afraid that he will intercept and kill our children again? If I leave and let you go to the battlefield alone, that would be abnormal!"

 I recommend Linglongxiu's "Jade Hall Golden Gate".A modern woman who does her own way, the life story of the most respectful and scholarly family in ancient times.
