wait for another year

The next day, after the two of them had washed and washed, Shouning came to report, "Your Highness, a reply from Prince Xuan's Mansion has arrived. Please come to the mansion for a briefing at noon today."

"King Xuan?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Xuanyuan Hui was also taken aback, and said sharply: "Suan Ni!"

Suan Ni appeared from nowhere, and knelt down on the ground, "At the court meeting the day before yesterday, His Majesty promoted Deng Dudu from Xuan Guogong to Xuanjun King. We only got the news last night, because the prince rested and did not report. Your subordinates If you don’t do your job well, please be punished by your lord!”

Xuanyuan Hui's face turned pale with anger, and when he went up, he kicked Suan Ni on the back, "Such a big matter has not been reported in time, do you know how many things may be damaged because of your delay this time? What is the use of people!"

He was so angry that he drew his own saber and was about to draw it down. Zhao Xu grabbed his wrist and said, "My lord, calm down. Although this is an important matter, it doesn't make much difference if it's a few hours earlier or later. Wrong, but he is also out of good intentions, so please forgive him this time for the sake of his usual loyalty."

Along the way, Zhao Xu has discovered more than once that since Xuanyuan Hui left the capital, his temperament is very different from the rumors, he is moody, irritable, and often blames others.

It's easy to understand if you think about it, although Xuanyuanhui has been suppressed by the Deng party in the palace, the emperor and Dugu noble concubine both love him like a treasure, and he has half of Huihe blood, so he has inevitably developed an arrogant temperament.

Now that the sky is high and the sea is vast, and there is no one to control it, all these defects in the bones are exposed. Now I am going to hide my strength and bide my time. If I don't stop it in time, I am afraid it will lead to catastrophe in the future.

Xuanyuan Hui gave Zhao Xu a cold look, "I don't need the concubine to intervene when I teach the servants a lesson? Or does the concubine think that the prince is useless and can't even scold a servant?"

Zhao Xu grabbed his wrist tightly, with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid the prince is in a hurry, Suan Ni is the prince's confidant, how can he be regarded as a subordinate? Suan Ni, hurry up and get the secret report from last night! Shouning , go and bring some green plum soup to the prince. The rest of you wait, let’s get back first."

Xuanyuan Hui squinted his eyes, and was about to speak, but Suan Ni also shrank back and did not dare to back down.

Zhao Xu restrained her smile, and looked at each of them, "Why, don't my words count?"

Everyone hurriedly retreated, leaving the two of them indoors.

Zhao Xu shook his hand away and said coldly, "My lord is ridiculous!"

Xuanyuan Hui clasped his hands in his sleeves, and also had a cold face, "Wangfei, please tell me clearly, what is wrong with this king?"

"My lord has been complaining all the way about the lack of land, money, people, and soldiers, but the lord's behavior now is that he can't wait to push everyone out!" Zhao Xu sat down on the side of the couch and said wearily, "I said lord, money, land It doesn’t matter whether you seek soldiers or die, are they all rewarded by others? Marquis of Huaiyin and Marquis Liu were rewarded by Qin III? Marquis Wu and Marquis of Shouting were gifted by Emperor Xian? The 28 generals of Yuntai were all led by the Ministry of Officials Did the document report to Emperor Guangwu?"

He used to be polite to Xuanyuan Hui, but now his tone can be regarded as aggressive.

Xuanyuan Hui looked at him steadfastly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, but he insisted and refused to give in.

"The land is brought down, the gold and silver are earned, the soldiers are trained, and the talents...of course they are recruited." Zhao Xu looked at him very earnestly, "The prince thinks that the Deng family is now Is it all because of Empress Dowager Deng?"

Xuanyuan Hui gritted his teeth and said, "The two thieves Deng Xiang and Deng Ao have always been good at buying people's hearts with money from the court..."

"Princes and generals, it's better to be kind!" Zhao Xu interrupted him, "Speaking of a rebellious word, the people's leaders don't have any ancestral temples and lands in their eyes. Whoever feeds them well, who keeps them away from the flames of war and corvee, They are willing to submit to whoever they are willing to submit to. As for those Han children, whoever reuses them, whoever makes them famous, whoever lets them become generals and ministers, they will be loyal to whom. The loyalty, filial piety and righteousness mentioned by the saints cover up red, The naked desire for profit is just a cover to make everyone look better."

Xuanyuan Hui's complexion was already very ugly, "Then how do you explain that the royal family's blood can often be echoed by everyone? For example, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, if he was not a member of the Han family, he would have won three parts of the world?"

"The Cao family and the grandson family also have three parts of the world, but their surname is Liu? Not to mention the Sima family who ruled all of Kyushu." The emperor gave way, easy? There will be no future troubles. Create an auspicious sign, saying that you have won the destiny, or come out with a prophecy, saying that the royal family lost virtue and sinned against the sky. It is not easy to win the world, it is difficult to keep the world, and it is difficult to lose the world. , but it is very easy."

His confession was clearly telling Xuanyuan Hui that what he was relying on now was firstly the emperor's high hopes, secondly the land of Suzhou, and thirdly the blood of Xuanyuan's family.

But the emperor himself was precarious, Suzhou was located in a remote, bitter, cold and barren place, and the orthodoxy of the Xuanyuan clan that he was most proud of was vulnerable to foreign enemies, rebels and mobs.

It seems that he has everything, but when he thinks about it, Xuanyuan Hui actually has nothing.

If he was just a little helpless when he set off, but now his blood has completely cooled down.

Zhao Xutu quickly exhausted his words, but when he calmed down, he saw Xuanyuan Hui's face was frighteningly pale, and upon closer inspection he was trembling all over.

He regretted it almost immediately, and quickly got up to pull Xuanyuan Hui's sleeve.

Xuanyuan Hui dodged lightly, turned his head and ran out.

When Zhao Xu chased him out, Xuanyuan Hui had already mounted a white horse, whipped the whip, and galloped out of the official post.

Heaving a sigh of relief on the spot, Zhao Xu told Shou Ning, who looked panic-stricken, "Let Suan Ni send people to follow from a distance, remember to bring weapons, and don't let others know."

After all, he picked a horse at random and chased it out.

Regardless of civil or martial arts, Xuanyuan Hui was outstanding among the princes, and his riding skills were no exception.Before reaching the city gate, Zhao Xu already felt very strenuous, the gale outside the fortress was like a knife like a whip, and it was extremely painful on his face.

"Wang...Lang Jun!" Seeing that Xuanyuan Hui was about to run away, Zhao Xu hurriedly yelled, and inadvertently took a big mouthful of sandy wind, and couldn't help coughing.

Xuanyuan Hui seemed to have paused for a moment, then continued to move forward fiercely.

Zhao Xu is regretting 12 things at this moment, regretting that she shouldn't provoke him with words, ruining the friendship she made not long ago; real……

Or, what he should regret the most is that he didn't raise the strength of the whole family to resist the marriage at that time, and followed this yellow-haired man to eat sand outside the Great Wall.

In such a distraction, the rein in his hand loosened, and the horse lost control in an instant.

Zhao Xu saw Xuanyuan Hui turn his head back, his face full of fear.
