Gongzhongji

Hao is still puzzled.

"In this palace, weak people cannot survive." Xia Yan said.

If the Italian-American woman is not crazy and she is still young, then she can be favored by the emperor again, can get pregnant again, can learn to be careful, and protect her child well. When the child is born and grows up, she can rely on this child to fight for a better life. many things...

She has a long future ahead of her if she wants to.

But for weak people, perhaps escape is the best choice.Crazy──From now on, I live completely in my own imaginary world. This may be a good ending that weak people can choose.

Xia Yan thought of his mother, who once said to him: "Yan'er, you are like me, we are not the ones who should stay in this palace... Yan'er, don't go out here, don't go out here before you are 16 years old, let me let you go!" Everyone forgets you, this is the best way to protect you... Yan'er, if you have a chance, leave here as far away as possible, never come back, never have any contact with anyone here..."

Leaving is also a kind of escape, although this escape may seem a little more dignified-at least you can leave.

Xia Yan glanced at Xia Hao. He suddenly felt that he might have done something wrong. He shouldn't have more contact with this child. Once his identity is revealed in the future, what will happen to this domineering child?

Xia Yan sighed, but Xia Hao, who was caught in his own thoughts, didn't notice Xia Yan's sudden sadness.

Story of the Palace 14 Missing notice

Xia Yan's casual exclamation made Xia Hao fall into a complicated mood. Xia Hao didn't know why, but it seemed that the sentence "weak people cannot survive" touched him a lot. Xia Hao felt that he seemed to understand something , but there is still a layer of tulle in front of my eyes, and I can't see it clearly.

Xia Hao thought too much, didn't sleep well at night, woke up late the next day, and was late for class.

Xia Hao had a bad conduct before, and the old gentleman was afraid that Xia Hao would revert to his old ways, so he read Xia Hao carefully when he saw Xia Hao was late, which made Xia Hao very annoyed.Unexpectedly, after school, Concubine Rong got the news somehow, and called Xia Hao to Hexin Palace for a reprimand for being late.Concubine Rong obviously has something on her mind, she can't stop talking, Xia Hao can hear that there is something in her words, Xia Hao grew up in the palace, and she is not an idiot, vaguely heard that the mother and concubine seem to be fighting for favor among some concubines Things are bothersome, but Xia Hao is still young after all, and he hasn't fully understood the meaning behind the concubine's fight for favor. He only finds it annoying that the mother concubine vents her own unhappiness on herself, but Xia Hao is quite afraid of Concubine Rong. I was extremely upset, but I could only keep my head down and be scolded honestly.

After being scolded for half an afternoon, it was a maid who came in and said something to Concubine Rong, which made Concubine Rong let Xia Hao leave.At this moment, Xia Hao's mood was already as irritable as a shattered carpet, who would have thought that when he returned to Baoyu Palace, he would meet that woman Rousha following behind her again.In fact, Rou Sha would usually follow Xia Hao after he returned to the palace, but today Xia Hao was in a particularly bad mood, and seeing Rou Sha was particularly unpleasant.

At first, Xia Hao wanted to pretend he didn't see it and endure it, but he went back to the room and poured himself a cup of tea. The tea was freshly brewed and scalding hot.Xia Hao exploded immediately, and angrily smashed the teapot on Rousha's face. A pot of hot tea poured over Rousha's head and face, and it bubbled up in a blink of an eye. The other palace servants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. .But this didn't calm down Xia Hao, he yelled at the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground: "Whoever made the tea, get out of here!"

A little eunuch crawled out tremblingly from the crowd.Xia Hao immediately rushed forward and gave the little eunuch a hard kick, and at the same time ordered the person next to him sharply: "Drag this man to me and kill him!"

The people around all begged for mercy, and that Rousha ignored herself being burned, and said, "Your Highness..."

But this time Xia Hao was really mad. He turned around and kicked the soft sand, and cursed: "Get lost! What I hate the most is you ugly bastard! Come on! Drag this ugly bastard down for me too!" stick dead!"

Although Rou Sha is only a court lady, but she is sent by Concubine Rong, everyone knows about it, usually even Xia Hao has to give her three points, ordinary palace people dare to step forward and take Rou Sha Walk.

Seeing that the people around were trembling and daring not to move, Xia Hao was even more angry, and immediately said: "You don't listen to my king, do you? Well, it's useless for my king to keep you! Come on! Give me everything!" Drag it on, kill them all!"

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

For a while, the house was full of grief, but Xia Hao didn't care about them. He was very irritable at the moment, and hated seeing these people. He thought of Xiao An, that quiet, cool person, Xia Hao had never been so eager to want Bring Xiaoan with you!I couldn't stop this thought.Xia Hao began to imagine that if Xiao An was by his side, life would be very pleasant. He liked Xiao An's quiet eyes, his silent smile, and the faint fragrance of Xiao An's body. There seemed to be nothing bad about Xiao An. Compared with these sluts, it's like the difference between white clouds and dirt!

Xia Hao couldn't restrain his longing, he stopped caring about the kneeling people in the room, ran all the way into the backyard, and called out the bird Xia Yan gave him, but suddenly realized that the words he wanted hadn't been written in a note, so He ran back to the house to find a pen and paper, and wrote: "Xiao'an, the king wants you to come to me!" Grabbing the note, Xia Hao ran into the backyard again, tied the note on the bird's leg, Let the bird fly.

The bird flapped its wings a few times before flying into the treetops and disappeared. Xia Hao waited in the yard.

The bird didn't fly very fast, but it wasn't very far from Baoyu Palace to Yufang Palace, Xia Yan received the news soon.

Xia Yan and Xia Hao have an agreement, if they don't want to cancel the meeting, then try to avoid using the bird message.But usually the decision to cancel the meeting is sent in the evening of the meeting day. They only met last night. Why did the news suddenly come today?

Xia Yan was puzzled, and took a look at the note on the bird's leg, and couldn't help laughing.

Xia Yan didn't know why Xia Hao made such a decision suddenly, but it was impossible.Xia Yan thought for a while, and wrote back with pen and paper: "No. Your concubine will definitely not allow it."

The bird flew back to Baoyu Palace again.Xia Hao read Xia Yan's note, and immediately became angry, and replied: "This king said that he wants you and wants you!"

Xia Yan read the reply but was helpless. He believed that Xia Hao would never be able to find him, so he stopped replying to this overbearing declaration.

Over there, Xia Hao waited for a long time but could not get a reply from "Xiao'an", knowing that Xiao'an definitely disagreed, so he no longer waited passively, returned to the front yard, found the eunuch and said: "This king ordered you to give me an order in the palace." Find a little eunuch, thirteen or fourteen years old, so tall, thin, with thin eyebrows, big eyes, thin neck, and fair skin. Hurry up and find me, if you can’t find me, I will kill you !"

The eunuch got the order and went down in panic, but he was very distressed: how many thin and white eunuchs are there in this palace!

Because of Xia Hao's words, the harem was turned upside down, and even Xia Yan who was in the cold palace got the news: King Hu was looking for a young eunuch.

After hearing this, Lu Xinyang asked, "Xiaoyan, is this Xia Hao looking for you?"

"Yeah, he suddenly asked me to come to him, how could I go there? I refused, and he suddenly found me."

Xia Yan smiled wryly, knowing that Xia Hao must be looking for him, but since he is a "eunuch", no matter how hard he looked, he would never be found.

Sure enough, those eunuchs searched desperately for three days, and all the eunuchs who fit the description were taken to Xia Hao for a walk, but none of them was "Xiao An".Xia Hao was furious, and blamed the eunuchs for not caring, and decided that they must have hidden people, and then launched a second round of searches after scolding a group of people.But no matter how much they searched, it was useless. Xia Hao would never have dreamed that the little eunuch he was talking about was actually his brother.

It was the night of the meeting again, but Xia Yan sent a message to Xia Hao: "Your Highness is so aggressive, it's not good for me to show up again, today's meeting is cancelled."

Upon receiving the news, Xia Hao was so angry that he smashed all the vases in the bedroom, but it was useless. If "Xiao An" couldn't say it, then he would definitely not come.

Xia Hao originally wanted to take someone to ambush in the Royal Garden, but he was still so angry that he was completely irrational. At the critical moment, he still thought of the fact that he and Xiao An met in the middle of the night and must not let outsiders know.This cognition was like pouring cold water on Xia Hao's head, which made Xia Hao calm down a little.When he was lying on the bed and thinking wildly before going to bed, he suddenly thought that he had made a big move this time, and the concubine mother was silent, which was a bit strange.

In the past, if Xia Hao was such a troublemaker, even if the concubine Rong didn't call Xia Hao to punish her, at least she would send someone over to deliver a message, saying something like "enough is enough".But not this time.

Xia Hao is still young, so many things may not be so clear, but because of his young age, his intuition is stronger than that of ordinary adults. He may not be able to tell what is strange about the concubine mother this time, but he knows that the concubine mother is so strange. It was strange to be silent.

Xia Hao thought for a while, called the eunuch who was accompanying him, and asked, "Has the concubine mother sent someone to say anything?"

The eunuch shook his head and said no.

Xia Hao asked again: "Is my concubine busy recently?"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered in Xia Hao's ear, "Your Highness, recently His Majesty favors Concubine Xu Hui very much. It seems that she hasn't been there for a while, so... Your Majesty may not be in a good mood recently..."

Xia Hao only said that the father and the concubine had left the concubine mother in the cold, which made the concubine mother unhappy. Maybe the concubine mother was not in the mood to take care of him for the time being.

Xia Hao didn't think too much about it. He knew that it was common for concubines to compete for favor, but since he could remember, the harem was exclusively favored by his mother and concubine. He didn't have a deep understanding of the competition between concubines. .

Story of the Palace 15 Death of a Beauty

Today's spring is very warm, and the flowers bloomed early and brilliantly. Concubine Rong held a spring feast in the imperial garden and invited almost all the famous concubines in the palace. The princes also received the post. Naturally, Xia Hao He also went, it was impossible for him not to go to the banquet held by his mother and concubine.

It is rare for the royal garden to be so lively. A group of well-dressed harem men and women gathered together to enjoy the rare relaxation.The relationship between Xia Hao and the other brothers and sisters was not very good, and he didn't bother to be courteous, so he sat next to Concubine Rong and ate cakes and thought about Xiao An.

Xia Hao was thinking about how to dig Xiao An out of the corner of the deep palace and follow him from then on, but he sent someone to look for him but couldn't find it. Now Xiao An has disappeared even his face, which is unimaginable .

"...Look, it's Concubine Xu Hui..."

A low-pitched comment drifted into Xia Hao's ears, and Xia Hao looked up to see two concubines who were whispering.

Xia Hao looked towards the courtyard gate, and sure enough, he saw Concubine Xu Hui coming gracefully.

Xia Hao remembered that Concubine Xu Hui was a woman as beautiful as a fairy.Three months ago, that beauty danced a dance in front of the emperor at the New Year's banquet, so the audience was silent, and everyone stared at her face without taking their eyes off it.Xia Hao still remembers that at that time, he said that he wanted to let this beauty be his concubine, but it was a pity that the beauty entered the royal father's bedroom that night, and she was made a concubine Li the next day. It took only three months in the blink of an eye , became concubine Hui again.

Xia Hao still remembered that when Concubine Hui was dancing, the skirt of her dancing dress fluttered open, like a lotus flower in full bloom, but it was red and gorgeous, like the red clouds in the sky, like a rose in full bloom, with an alluring demeanor and a thrilling beauty. beauty.

Is that kind of beauty competing with the mother and concubine?Xia Hao suddenly thought of this.He subconsciously glanced at the concubine mother who was close at hand.Concubine Rong entered the palace at the age of 16 and was favored. Now she is nearly [-]. Although her face is still beautiful, compared with the Concubine Hui in Xia Hao's memory, her mother and concubine seem much duller.

Is that what women do when they get old?

Xia Hao thought uncertainly.

Concubine Xu Hui gradually approached, and Xia Hao saw that breathtakingly beautiful face again.

Concubine Xu Hui was like a proud princess, with her chin held high, she walked gracefully in front of Concubine Rong. She stood and looked down at Concubine Rong on the seat. Her young and beautiful face was in stark contrast to Concubine Rong. The smooth skin like a flower, the delicate lips like a flower, and the eyes that are as agile as the pond that day, all these are what Concubine Rong once had but is slowly losing now.

Concubine Xu Hui's eyebrows make all women jealous and all men covet.

Xia Hao subconsciously glanced at Concubine Rong, and saw Concubine Rong had a faint smile on her lips, without showing any dissatisfaction or panic.

Concubine Rong looked at the beauty in front of her calmly, her seductive almond eyes revealed the calmness of a superior.Such a noble concubine Rong possessed another kind of grace that Concubine Xu Hui did not have: grace.

Concubine Xu Hui had a sneer at the corner of her mouth, but her voice was as clear and melodious as a baby bird's first cry, and she said softly: "My sister is late, don't blame Sister Rong."

Concubine Rong smiled slightly, and said: "No matter what, it's only natural that my sister will be a little late to accompany you."

Concubine Xu Hui was quite proud, and said: "My sister's words made my sister panic!"

Concubine Xu Hui spoke as if she was apologetic, but anyone with ears could hear the flaunting in her words.

Concubine Rong's expression remained unchanged, she just smiled and said, "My sister has worked hard. My sister wait a moment, let my sister ask someone to add an extra table so that my sister can sit down and rest."

Concubine Rong asked someone to bring tables and chairs, and asked Concubine Xu Hui to sit beside her.After sitting down, the two of them didn't talk much. Xia Hao couldn't help but look at Concubine Xu Hui a few more times, but he didn't want a female officer next to Concubine Rong to walk behind him and said softly, "His Royal Highness, please be restrained."

Xia Hao was startled, and glanced at Concubine Mu, her heart was cold, and she didn't dare to look at Concubine Xu Hui again.

Not long after, a haggard-looking woman arrived accompanied by two court ladies.After Xia Hao took a second look, he realized that this thin woman who was almost out of shape was a wonderful idea.

Hearing this wonderful idea is already crazy, it should not appear again.

Xia Hao looked at Concubine Rong, not knowing what the concubine's mother meant by calling Miaoyi, but unexpectedly, he saw surprise in Concubine Rong, as if Concubine Rong did not expect Miaoyi to come back .

Miao Yi sat down not far from Concubine Rong's attack, with a depressed expression and said nothing, the noise from outside could not affect her at all.

Xia Hao took a few more glances and stopped paying attention. He only listened to people around him occasionally mentioning a few words. Most of them were wondering why Miaoyi appeared here, and some people vaguely mentioned that Miaoyi's child was not so strange. .

After thirty days of drinking, I don't know who initiated it, and all the concubines began to toast the three women.

Xia Hao saw what a female officer said in Miaoyi's ear, and Miaoyi's dim eyes revealed a little light. She raised her head and looked around twice, seemingly hesitating for a moment, and finally took the wine glass and walked into the toast room. in ranks.

Xia Hao was quite surprised, he thought that Miaoyi came today just to make a display, but he didn't expect to participate in the toast.

When Miaoyi walked in front of Concubine Rong, Miaoyi raised her wine glass to Concubine Rong, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Miaoyi is today thanks to your care... Miaoyi respects Madam, don't refuse... ..."

Originally, it was just a very common toast, but it was inadvertently endowed with more meaning when it was uttered from Miaoyi's mouth in that hoarse voice that seemed to have lost his soul.Many people around looked over, and Concubine Rong, who was always happy and angry, frowned slightly.

In a flash, Concubine Rong returned her smile and said, "Miaoyi is a good sister of this palace, so it's a good thing to say that."

Miaoyi smiled lightly, she couldn't tell whether it was indifferent or mocking, but she didn't say anything, she raised her head and drank the wine in her hand.

Concubine Rong took another look at her, then raised her hand to bring the wine glass to her lips.

Just when Concubine Rong covered her glass of wine with her hand and was about to drink, Miaoyi suddenly threw away the glass in her hand, and rushed towards Concubine Rong like crazy!Concubine Rong was crushed by surprise and fell to the ground in embarrassment, seeing Miaoyi's face was grim, and in a blink of an eye she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Concubine Rong fiercely!

Only then did the screams of the surrounding people sound, retreating, advancing, the scene was in chaos.

Because Xia Hao has been paying attention to Miaoyi, he was the first to react to Miaoyi's attack at this moment. When Miaoyi pulled out the dagger, Xia Hao was taken aback, and subconsciously rushed in the direction of Concubine Rong, trying to kill Miaoyi. stop.Even though Concubine Rong is usually strict with him, it is her mother after all!

However, when Xia Hao rushed to Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong pushed Xia Hao with her backhand regardless of her intention to assassinate her. Got a stagger and fell out.Because of Concubine Rong's push, the wonderful dagger fell down and stabbed Concubine Rong's shoulder fiercely!

"what!"

Concubine Rong screamed, blood spurted out, soaking her fine clothes in a blink of an eye!

Miaoyi didn't know what she had lost her mind, she was splashed with blood on her face, she was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed wildly. She climbed up from Concubine Rong, the violent culling just now made her hair bun spread out, sticking to it. With bloody hands waving erratically in the air, she was walking aimlessly through the crowd like a ghost laughing wildly, attracting screams from the onlookers.

Xia Hao didn't care about the wonderful intentions, and frantically went to Concubine Rong and hugged her in panic, and shouted nervously: "Mother Concubine! Mother Concubine!"

Although Concubine Rong was seriously injured, her sanity was fine, but her complexion was pale, and she held Xia Hao's hand weakly, showing a gratified smile, as if she was happy that Xia Hao was not injured.

"Hao'er...are you okay..."

"Mother concubine!"

The harshness and scolding in the past disappeared in an instant, and Xia Hao's tears fell uncontrollably. For the first time, he knew that his mother and concubine loved him!

Just as Xia Hao hugged Concubine Rong and cried, there was another scream from the crowd. This time the crowd was even more flustered, and someone could vaguely hear someone calling "Concubine Xu Hui".Xia Hao glanced over there, his eyes passed through the crowd, he seemed to see a touch of pale yellow lying on the ground, and in the pool of blood, that face that crowned the world was full of unrepentant horror!

Concubine Xu Hui is dead?

Xia Hao was astonished by his own recognition, he subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Concubine Rong in his arms, and after a quick glance, he seemed to see the fleeting cold smile on the corner of Concubine Rong's mouth, Xia Hao was shocked, Something in my heart was pierced by this smile.

Concubine Xu Hui is really dead.

The next day, Xia Hao heard the palace people talk about what happened yesterday.

Miaoyi wandered among the crowd after stabbing Concubine Rong, and slowly, she came to Concubine Xu Hui, perhaps because Concubine Xu Hui's contemptuous dodging attitude angered her, she suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Concubine Xu Hui's neck, mouth Shouting "Go to hell! You all go to hell!", just like that, strangled Concubine Xu Hui to death.

Not long after, Miaoyi also walked into the lake in the Imperial Garden and drowned.

Because of the death of Concubine Xu Hui and the injury of Concubine Rong, the emperor returned to Hexin Palace.

That night, Xia Hao had a dream. He dreamed that Miaoyi was holding the quilt and singing songs to coax the children. He dreamed that Concubine Xu Hui in light yellow clothes was slowly falling down. meaning.

After waking up, Xia Hao found that his obscene clothes were soaked in cold sweat. When the first rays of sunlight in the morning entered the room, he suddenly understood something, about those things in the palace, about the obscurity after those things, That dripping, that cruelty, that kind of happiness!

When the emperor fell into Limei's embrace, Xia Hao sent a message to Xia Yan: "I won't be looking for you anymore, let's meet at night."

Story of the Palace 16 Taikang Ten Years

Spring goes to summer, summer comes to autumn, autumn goes to winter solstice, winter goes to spring and comes again, so it is another year. The ninth year of Taikang passed quietly after the turmoil of Concubine Xu Hui, and Xia Yan was nurtured by Xia Hao and Lu Xinyang. She is much whiter and tenderer, and her head has grown, but she still can't change her shyness when she smiles, and she still looks like a white rabbit.

In the ten-year New Year of Taikang, there was an auspicious snowfall in the north. Spring came earlier than usual, but the rain was a little more than in later years. The wheat seedlings sprouted early and grew gratifyingly, but this is not good news for Kang. .Sure enough, the farmland in the north had a bumper harvest in autumn, and as soon as the busy farming season passed, Su declared war.

The huge Central Plains is divided into north and south by the Lijiang River. Since the collapse of the former dynasty, after more than ten years of chaotic wars, the situation of Nankang and Beisu was finally formed.In terms of people's livelihood, it seems that the wealthy Kang State is superior, but in terms of military strength, the brave and warlike Su State is even more superior.Su's cavalry is unstoppable, but no matter how powerful the knights come to the Li River, they can only be stopped by Kang's navy. The stalemate came down.

In the early years, the emperors of Su State were keen on wars. Some small-scale harassing attacks happened once every two or three years, which was like actual combat exercises of Su State. However, the old emperor passed away three years ago, and one of them had just turned six years old. When the little emperor came to power, Prime Minister Right and General Zuo Long were fighting for power, and the political situation in the court was unstable, so they had no intention of attacking Kang, and Kang did not take the initiative to attack, so the war between the two countries was temporarily stopped. That is three years.

However, now Su Guo is calling again.

Two years ago, General Zuo Long defeated the civilian clique headed by Prime Minister Right in the political struggle, and the Soviet regime completely fell into his hands. "Ghost General" General Zuo Long finally fought again.

Three years is not a long time, and even the civil and military officials of Kang Guoman felt headaches when they heard the name "Undefeated Ghost General".

The real name of "Undefeated Ghost General" is Han Shixi. In fact, most of his title of "Undefeated Ghost General" was not obtained in the war between Su and Kang, but in Su's war against the nomads in the north.When the Central Plains split, the nomads outside the Great Wall formed a short-lived unified regime, which was called "Saidan" by the Central Plains people.The folk customs of the people outside the Great Wall are tough, and because of the harsh living environment, they will enter the Central Plains to plunder every spring.Kang State is located in the south of the Lijiang River, and it is incompatible with Saidan. They are all resisted by the State of Su. This is also the main reason for the strong cavalry of the State of Su.

Sixteen years ago, Han Shixi appeared in the sight of the old emperor, and gained the trust of the old emperor as soon as he appeared.He gradually emerged in the war and became one of the twelve generals protecting the country in just a few years.In Su's five-official system, the left and right dragon and tiger generals are the highest, followed by the four generals, and then the twelve generals who protect the country.In order to prevent military generals from seizing power, the left and right generals of dragon and tiger are either vacant or have honorary vacancies. That is to say, the generals of the four directions are actually the highest-ranking real power figures among the military officers, and Han Shixi is only one step away from the peak at this time. remote.

Shortly after becoming the General Protecting the Country, Han Shixi proposed to destroy the Saidan regime in one fell swoop. This proposal was supported by the old emperor. All in all, this is the origin of "Undefeated", and "Ghost General" means that Han Shixi always wears a ghost mask, but no one knows what he looks like under the mask.

This war Han Shixi completely defeated the Saidan regime, causing the nomads outside the Great Wall to split into dozens of large and small regimes again, unable to invade the Central Plains again.After the war ended, Han Shixi was named General Zhenbeishang, an extremely personable minister, and won the emperor's favor.

Because the nomads could no longer pose a threat to the Soviet Union, Han Shixi changed his title to General Ping Nanshang and was transferred to the Southern Army of the Soviet Union—that is, the army that confronted Kang Guo, so Han Shixi gradually became a headache for Kang Guo.

About five years ago, the old emperor may have realized that his fate was not long, so he found a reason to designate Han Shixi as General Zuolong.This is incredible.You must know that the old emperor was ambitious. He ascended the throne at the age of 16, and removed the left and right generals Longhu who held power at that time by means of thunder. Since then, the two positions of the left and right generals have been vacant, and the military power has always been in the hands of the old emperor himself. , but now he suddenly handed over the military power to Han Shixi?

Others couldn't understand why, they only knew that Han Shixi's power was growing, and two years later, the old emperor was seriously ill, and everyone was guessing who he would pass the throne to.The old emperor had seven sons, but four of them died or went mad or were exiled in the previous round of competition for the throne, and now there are three young sons left, the older two are mediocre, and the youngest one Still ignorant of the age.Looking left and right, the ambitious old emperor probably wouldn't want to choose any of them.

But still have to choose, the old emperor passed away, left an imperial edict, passed the throne to the younger son, named the younger emperor's mother and concubine as the Empress Dowager Ciren, and the original empress was the Empress Dowager Huining. politics.

After that, there was a battle for power between the right minister and Han Shixi. In the end, Han Shixi won and completely grasped the power of Su.

After Han Shixi gained power, he removed the remaining forces of the right minister in the court, and then rectified the administration of officials, improved people's livelihood, and recuperated the army. After two years of this, the country of Su is thriving. This year coincides with a bumper harvest. Come again, so Han Shixi led the army to fight over.

When Han Shixi led the army to gather on the north bank of the Lijiang River, the Kang Guo court was also discussing the candidate for the commander this time.

Kang Guo is actually not in a hurry, because even if Han Shixi is known as the "undefeated ghost general", facing the surging Lijiang River and the navy that Kang Guo is proud of, he can only sigh. At least, let the navy resist such a threat Yue is fine, so the court of Kang Kingdom thinks they have enough time to discuss trivial matters.

The Emperor Kang was fatuous, but the civil and military officials below him were quite powerful.After all, it is a country in the midst of war, and it is relatively united when necessary, and the unspoken rules between some forces will also allow them to choose to compromise at an appropriate time.When the emperor was drowsy at the top, dozens of people below had already determined the candidates for the generals through quarrels. The only thing that could not be discussed now was who would hold the position of "Supervisor".

Supervising the army is actually a vain position, a position dedicated to reporting military information to the emperor but having no real power, and is generally held by someone trusted by the emperor.Because the supervising army is absolutely not allowed to interfere with military affairs—but if you want to rush to the front line and shed blood like other soldiers, no one will stop you, so it doesn't matter who the emperor sends.In the past, it was customary to assign a middle minister (that is, a eunuch) or a prince.

Of course, it cannot be said that the supervising army is useless. If the supervising army talks nonsense in front of the emperor, it will still bring a lot of trouble to the general—if the emperor trusts his supervising army very much.

If it is to send a middle minister, there is nothing to say. This is not something that the minister can control, but if you want to send a prince, then there is some consideration.

Most of these ministers have their own princes who support each other. Although the supervising army has no real power, it is a good opportunity for experience. If they can perform well in the war, it will be the capital for future competition for the throne.Therefore, when the candidates for the generals in front were determined and all forces were able to strike a balance in this battle for flesh and bones, the position of "Supervisor" was in dispute.

"Your Majesty please decide!"

The unanimous voice of all the officials woke up the emperor who was about to fall asleep. The emperor looked blankly at the ministers who were bowing together, as if he didn't know what happened.The eunuch next to him whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the ministers are worrying about which prince will be the supervisor of the army."

The emperor reacted, he was not stupid, and he still showed the majesty of the emperor at this time.He thought for a while, and said: "Since the lovers can't decide, let my princes choose for themselves. Let all the princes go to the palace!"

Story of the Palace 17 My son wants to see the big ship

"Father announced me to the palace?"

Xia Yan looked at the eunuch who sent the message in surprise, he couldn't believe that someone still remembered the existence of a prince in Yufang Palace.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty means to let 'all the princes' go to the palace." The eunuch raised his head and blinked at Xia Yan, and said, "Your Highness, you are too wronged here, this is a good opportunity, if you can get the emperor's attention You can go back to the palace." The eunuch seemed to be afraid that Xia Yan would not believe him, and said, "Your Highness, I have received the Queen's favor in the past, and I have always remembered it in my heart all these years, but it is a pity that people speak lightly and can't give Your Highness anything. Help. This time, when I heard the news, I rushed over to tell you, which can be regarded as a little bit of effort."

Xia Yan suddenly understood.Sure enough, it wasn't the emperor's special decree, but the eunuch wanted to repay his kindness before he came to inform. The emperor said "all the princes", Xia Yan is also a prince, so he is naturally qualified to go to the palace, but if the eunuch didn't notify in private, I'm afraid Xia Yan waited until the war was over and didn't know about such a thing, so he naturally missed the opportunity.

Xia Yan was a little hesitant, if all the princes went to the palace, he would definitely meet Xia Hao, and then his identity would be revealed...

After thanking the eunuch, Xia Yan did not go to the palace.He also remembered what his mother had said, since going to the palace would not do him any good, why should he go?

When the eunuch bid farewell to Xia Yan, Xia Hao had already dressed and came out of the main hall. Like him, there were four other princes: the eldest prince Xia Jin, the sixth prince Xia Xi, the seventh prince Xia Ye, and the eighth prince Xia Ling.Among these princes, Xia Hao is the youngest. Under Xia Hao, there are only two princesses, Twelve and Thirteen. As for the tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth, they died before they were born, and they don't even have names.

"See Father Emperor!"

The princes stood in the hall and saluted the emperor.

"Exemption from courtesy." The emperor waved his hand and signaled them to be flat, not talking nonsense, and said straight to the point, "My dear sons should already know why I announced you to come. The two countries are at war, and I need a supervisor. Do you have any?" Who volunteered?"

As soon as these words came out, the sixth prince Xia Xi's face turned pale at first, and then he stood there with his head lowered and did not speak.

Xia Ye and Xia Ling looked at each other, and they both saw the ambition in each other's eyes. Xia Ling immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, my son is willing to go!"

Before Xia Ling finished speaking, the eldest prince Xia Jin also stood up and said loudly: "Father, the battlefield is dangerous, and the eighth younger brother is still young, please let me go!"

At this time, Xia Ling was only 12 years old, and Xia Jin was already 19 years old, and he had already established the king's mansion, so what he said was very appropriate.

But it was Xia Ling who was not convinced, and said tit for tat: "Brother, I haven't seen you in the martial arts field for a long time, are you sure you are still proficient in bow and horse? That is a battlefield, and you will die if you are not careful!"

Xia Ling's words were very unpleasant, Xia Jin's face became very ugly, and several courtiers who supported Xia Ling shook their heads again and again.

Xia Jinhan said in a cold voice: "My little brother hasn't fully developed his muscles and bones yet, I'm afraid he will need someone to help him even get on the horse!"

"I!"

When Xia Ling wanted to argue, he was interrupted by someone: "Big Brother, Eighth Brother──" It was the Seventh Prince Xia Ye who spoke. After interrupting the quarrel between the two princes, he turned to the Emperor and said, "Royal Father, In Erchen's opinion, the eighth younger brother is young, and the elder brother is not good at bowing horses, so it is better to let Erchen try. Erchen has turned thirteen years old and has practiced martial arts with soldiers in the martial arts field for many years. Why don't you take this opportunity to let your ministers see the bravery of my Dakang army."

Xia Jin's expression darkened, and Xia Ling's eyes widened. The two of them were very unhappy with this oriole that suddenly came out.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to make a decision. It seemed that what everyone said made sense.

While the emperor was hesitating, Xia Hao hopped up to Danchi. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he grabbed the sleeves of the emperor's uniform with both hands, blinked his big watery eyes, and pouted his ruddy mouth. With a childish voice as soft as syrup, she coquettishly said: "Father, my son wants to see the big boat!"

Xia Hao is going to the battlefield, he defeated all opponents with honey policy, a word of acting like a baby is more effective than all the long speeches of his brothers.Therefore, a faint ruler and a wise ruler should be treated differently.

The expedition was three days later, and the night before the expedition was when Xia Hao and Xiao An met.

"Xiao An, I'm going to the battlefield
