The General Is As Urgent As Law

The news that Xue Ziqin led his troops back to the capital was like throwing stones into a calm lake. It quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and even all the ministers heard about it.

The Xue family made such a big move all of a sudden, which seemed to force the palace, and the emperor naturally thought so too.

After hearing about this, the emperor came back today with a slightly improved spirit, and went down again.

He lay on the couch until noon, drank a lot of soup and medicine, and was barely able to get up in the afternoon to deal with political affairs.

Jiang Ye was waiting outside the Anshang Hall every day for Cen Lizhen to accompany the emperor inside, and the emperor also knew that this kid might not dare to see him now because of his previous outspokenness.

As an emperor, he had seen too many people like this. In order to protect himself, he had to look forward and backward when talking to him, for fear that a wrong word would ruin his life.

The emperor coughed twice, which happened to be heard by Cen Lixuan coming in from outside. He walked forward quickly with a worried expression on his face, and handed the emperor the tea that was hanging on the sidelines: "Father, you feel unwell in the morning, why are you up to deal with government affairs again?"

"Ahem, it's all right." The emperor said calmly, "I have something important to attend to today, why are you here?"

"My son doesn't know, I have disturbed my father, and I ask my father to forgive me." Cen Lixuan hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Get up." The emperor reached out to help him, "Since no one has arrived yet, you should sit here first. It's hard for you to visit me every day."

"Father, don't say that. I am already grateful for being able to accompany my father." Cen Liyan said, tears welling up in his eyes.He has been treated in the cold for many years since he was a child, the emperor can't understand his thoughts, he is still a teenager, how can he not expect the concern of his parents.

But Concubine Jin would never pay attention to him, the emperor knew this well.

Thinking of this, he also felt stuffy in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it.The emperor raised his head and glanced outside casually. The door of Anshang Hall was open, and he happened to see Jiang Ye standing outside from the back.

"Tell your people to come in." The emperor said, "It's getting colder, and it's windy outside."

"Ah?" Cen Lixuan's face flashed with astonishment.He looked outside, and only saw Jiang Ye's back, and it happened that Jiang Ye was standing in the air vent, hugged by the cold wind, looking really cold.

On the contrary, the emperor seemed much calmer, and he continued: "I remember, he was injured in the fire in Zhu Ming Pavilion before, and he waited outside every day, doesn't it matter?"

"Father...why do you remember the eunuch beside Xuan'er...?" Cen Lixuan asked tentatively.But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he seemed to have made a slip of the tongue. For a while, he didn't dare to say anything other than waiting for the emperor to answer.

The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, even if he is a prince, he must keep this truth in mind.

Unexpectedly, the emperor chuckled lightly, as if remembering something interesting, and said: "I see him every day, but I will remember it."

Cen Lixuan nodded blankly: "Cheng'er call him in now."

Jiang was also complaining outside.From a long distance, he saw Wei Lin teaching his guards a lesson, with a serious expression and a slightly heroic demeanor.It wasn't long before Cen Lixuan went in, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait outside. He wanted to say hello to Wei Lin, but the distance was too far away.

He could only keep looking at Wei Lin's figure like this, waiting for that person to turn around to look at Anshang Hall so that he could see himself.

But Wei Lin really didn't mean to look at An Shangdian at all, Jiang also stared at him for a while, Wei Lin didn't look back at him, and Jiang Ye even had the illusion that he was in unrequited love , My heart suddenly burst into flames.

At this moment, Cen Lixuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Jiang Ye." Cen Lixuan seldom called him by his full name, he always called him "you" in front of outsiders, and called him "Brother Jiang" in private.Hearing the familiar voice coupled with the unfamiliar address, Jiang also turned his head in a daze, not forgetting that they were right in front of the emperor, and quickly leaned over and said, "Your Highness."

"Father let you in."

"Ah?" Jiang Ye's reaction was exactly the same as Cen Liyu's before, "Why?"

Cen Lixuan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jiang, did you ever have anything to do with Emperor Father?"

"What you said, could it be that your father is also a man?" Jiang couldn't help laughing.

Ever since the messy things with Wei Lin had happened, Jiang had completely acquiesced that he was a masculine man.He has also thought about this issue carefully. Before Wei Lin, he had never had anything to do with any woman from a good family, and he never set foot in Fireworks and Willow Lane; since Wei Lin, he only has Wei Lin in his eyes... Isn't that good? What is masculinity?

In other words, he is a good Wei Lin.

These messy thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ye's resentment towards Wei Lin intensified. The more he thought about it, the less willing he was to admit that he really had to be Wei Lin. No matter how he thought about it, he was at a loss.

Cen Lixuan said again: "Don't talk nonsense, my father is worried about your injuries, and said that you worked hard every day, so I let you in."

"Ah..." Jiang also naturally understood that the emperor guessed that it was because of his close relationship with "Seven Lords" that he said this.But it is not known whether it was because he was outspoken before asking him to be held accountable, or because he really cared about his injuries.The king's order cannot be violated. Thinking of this, Jiang nodded and said, "Yes."

Cen Lixuan then led him to the Anshang Hall.

Before the two stepped into the hall, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them.

Cen Lixuan looked back, Wei Yuanting, Yuan Zhi, Ren Gui and other important officials were already a few steps away from them.He hurriedly turned his head, and Jiang also stood behind him, kneeling and saluting.

"General Wei, Lord Yuan, Lord Ren..." Cen Lixuan cupped his hands and greeted each of them.

They also haven't seen the emperor for a while, the emperor is recuperating in the Anshang Palace, and has never been to the court, let alone summoned the ministers to discuss matters.usual

Even if there are political matters to be discussed, it must be in the political hall. Now that the emperor summoned them, they came to the Anshang Hall. I am afraid that the emperor is more seriously ill than they imagined.

Another person who should have come together but was unable to enter the palace due to illness was Xue Changfeng.

If Xue Changfeng was really sick, Wei Yuanting would be overjoyed, but it was clear that Xue Changfeng was the one who pretended to be sick.When several people saw Cen Lizhen here, they were a little dazed for a while, but Yuan Zhi was the first to say: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince."

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince." The others followed suit.

Rao, these courtiers who came to the palace every day, saw Cen Lizhen very few times. Now that the emperor is ill, Cen Lizhen is actually going to the palace. Does this mean that the Ninth Prince is also planning to get involved in this muddy water?

At this time, Eunuch Mu came out from the inside and said to Cen Lixuan: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please go to the side hall to rest for a while."

"Okay." Cen Lixuan nodded obediently.

Suddenly, the ministers couldn't understand it. Jiang Ye stood behind Cen Lizhen, watched Cen Lizhen turn and go to the side hall, and wanted to follow, but Wei Yuanting suddenly called out to him: "This Father-in-law, please stay."

Jiang also heard Wei Yuanting's voice, and felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

What is this, seeing father-in-law or father-in-law?The previous meeting in the barracks was already extremely embarrassing, and now he is wearing the eunuch's clothes as an eunuch, and meeting Wei Yuanting again... How can it be an embarrassing word?

Jiang also tried to pretend he didn't hear, and started to leave, but Wei Yuanting put his hand on his shoulder and repeated: "Please stay."

Seeing that riding a tiger was hard to get off, Jiang Ye had no choice but to sneer, and slowly turned around: "General Wei..."

Wei Yuanting had the usual smile on his face, and when he saw Jiang Ye's face again, that smile clearly froze for a moment: "...Eunuch?"

Several ministers nearby looked at this scene and looked at each other, not knowing what happened.Even if Wei Yuanting has something to say and gets angry right now, it's definitely not the time.

"General Wei, the emperor is waiting for you." Jiang Ye hurriedly said, and then lowered his voice, "This is a misunderstanding!"

Wei Yuanting let go of his hand, and hypocritically said something for others to listen to: "I was reckless, my father-in-law is somewhat similar to my acquaintance, forgive me."

As soon as Wei Yuanting finished speaking, before Jiang could escape, there was the sound of armor rubbing against each other again. Jiang was attracted by the sound together with everyone, and turned his head to look over.

Xue Ziqin was wearing a general's armor, walking up the long stairs in high spirits.It happened that a gust of wind blew by, raising the red cloak behind him and his long hair tied high.

For some reason, Jiang also remembered Xue Ziqin's back on the horse when he went to the battlefield for the first time.

The heartbeat was inexplicably faster, and there was some enthusiasm in the blood, as if the fighting spirit was clamoring.

I'm afraid it's also one of the reasons why the Xue family's army is invincible - just standing there, Xue Ziqin will give people a feeling of victory. On Cen Lixuan who walked out for a long time.

Cen Lixuan also turned his head to look at him, with an unconcealable smile on his lips.

"General..." Jiang Ye murmured.

Xue Ziqin approached step by step, and stood in front of several courtiers, with no trace of respect in his expression, but he saluted in an orderly manner, making it impossible to pick a mistake: "Junior Xue Ziqin, I have met some adults."

"General Xue is polite."

"Everyone is also here under the summons of the emperor?" Xue Ziqin said, his eyes swept over Wei Yuanting, and fell directly on Jiang Ye without a moment's pause.

"...Pfft." Xue Ziqin was still putting on airs, but when he saw Jiang Ye's eunuch's clothes, he almost laughed out loud, "Eunuch Jiang, don't come here without any harm."

"I've seen General Xue." Jiang Ye blushed, bowed his head and said in a salute, "I'm sorry, my servant."

In the end, it was Eunuch Mu who helped Jiang out of the siege: "Everyone, go in quickly, the emperor has been waiting for a long time."

"Please, General Wei." Xue Ziqin said first.

"General Xue is polite." Wei Yuanting smiled, did not shirk, and entered the Anshang Hall, and the rest followed suit.

The emperor knew exactly what happened outside, and he had some speculations about Jiang Ye's identity.But right now, calling all the courtiers over, naturally there are more important things to discuss.

"Sir...greetings to the emperor." Everyone entered the hall and saluted.

"Everyone loves you." The emperor said weakly, "I call you here today to discuss the establishment of a reserve."

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of all the ministers lit up.

"However, I would like to ask first, what does it mean that General Xue led the army back to the court and made a commotion that everyone knows?" The emperor looked displeased and looked directly at Xue Ziqin.

Xue Ziqin knelt down on one knee again unhurriedly and said: "My father is seriously ill, and I was worried for a while, so that I made a lot of noise and disturbed the emperor. It is my fault. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Wei Yuanting who was standing on the side smiled and said: "General Xue is filial, it is not wrong to rush back to take care of father, but why did he lead his troops back?"

Xue Ziqin knew that there would be such a question. It was not Wei Yuanting's question, but the emperor's.

"Of course it's for the establishment of a reserve," Xue Ziqin said.

"Bold!" Ren Gui scolded, "Is the Xue family blatantly trying to force the palace?"

"Wrong," Xue Ziqin continued, "I was afraid that someone would blatantly try to influence the decision of the Holy Majesty, so I came here specially, and the guardian of the Holy Spirit is Zhou Quan."
