Rebirth of the fairy in the painting

An Xining looked at the prince in surprise: "Brother Huang, you actually have spies in the Xiao clan?"

"Why?" The prince looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Only the Xiao Clan is allowed to release spies for Da Xia, but we are not allowed to release them?"

"That was not what I meant."

An Xining murmured, he knew that his imperial brother had a gap in his chest since he was a child, and he liked everything at every step, knowing himself and the enemy.

In his last life, he had reminded himself to be careful of Concubine Li, but at that time he was immersed in the pain of losing Zi Hua, so he didn't obey, which caused a catastrophe.

"Oh? What does the fifth brother mean?"

There was a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, looking like he was watching a good show.

Only then did An Xining realize that he had been tricked by his imperial brother again, and said speechlessly, "Emperor brother, let me tell you something serious."

"Okay, let's get down to business," the prince pressed his lips to cover his smile, "The spies have come to report that Shi Luanfeng, the king of the Xiao clan, is seriously ill, and he may not live well for a few months, and he will pass the throne to the next few princes. The eldest prince, Shi Jiena, and the third prince, Shi Junming, are the most likely to succeed. The Xiao Clan respects the brave, and the heir to the throne must be selected from among those with outstanding military exploits. It's the end of summer, and the harvest season will be two months away, and the Xiao Clan has just suffered a disaster this year, and there is a shortage of food, so this battle is inevitable."

"So this is my chance."

An Xining was gearing up for it. In his last life, his father named him King Ning because of his great achievements in defeating the Xiao Clan.

"That's right," the prince smiled calmly, "At that time, I will speak to my father and ask you to lead troops to attack the Xiao clan. As long as you perform meritorious service, the rest of the matter will be easy."

"Thank you, brother."

An Xining said sincerely that he was appointed by Emperor Mingde in the last life. At that time, he thought that his ability was recognized and appreciated by his father, so that he could take command of the battle. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the emperor brother helped behind.

"You don't need to thank me, but it's hard for this clever woman to cook without rice. With your drunken life and dreaming in this Zhengyang Palace every day, and you don't want to make progress, it's useless even if I can talk like lotus flowers in front of my father."

"Brother Huang, what can I do, you have to help me."

"Do you really want my help?"

"real."

An Xining nodded like pounding garlic, the prince was satisfied.

"This matter is also simple. Some time ago, my father and I went to the Northern Camp in Kyoto to inspect. The combat capabilities of the soldiers there were quite good, but they were controlled by Li Weiyuan. Today, my father found an excuse to send a young general from the Northern Camp to I've been transferred, and tomorrow morning, you take the opportunity to ask to be transferred there, it's best if you can cultivate your own snobbery, if you can't, you can establish a prestige in the army, and you can have an extra bargaining chip when you ask for orders to go to the Xiao Clan."

"Brother Huang is thoughtful."

An Xining was about to kneel down to his elder brother.

"Now that the business is over, can we talk about something personal?"

The prince was joking, and An Xining immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Emperor, please don't look at me like this, just like looking at the meat on the chopping board. If you have anything to do, just ask directly. Brother, I will definitely tell you everything. .”

"Since that's the case, Brother Huang, I won't beat around the bush. Fifth Brother, quickly take out that precious painting of yours, and let Brother Huang also observe it, and see what kind of stunning beauty it is that makes you so fascinated by Fifth Brother."

After the prince finished speaking, he saw An Xining's hesitant look, so he added: "Why, the fifth brother doesn't give face and doesn't want to share it with the emperor at all?"

"Of course not," An Xining denied, and then said coquettishly, "I just finished reading it, Brother Huang, you can't take what others like."

My royal brother now seems to be as gentle and gentle as jade, with the appearance of a modest gentleman, but when he was a child, he was simply a tyrant, and he did everything possible to get what he liked. An Xining had suffered a lot from him, so that he grew up You have to be careful everywhere, lest you accidentally make the same mistake again.

"Is the emperor like this kind of person?" The prince pretended to be angry.

"It's not like..." The prince's face paled slightly, An Xining continued to mutter: "That's exactly it."

The head was patted decisively: "Stop talking nonsense, take me to see."

An Xining couldn't resist, so he could only take out the painting.

The scroll was unrolled little by little, revealing the man in white clothes inside, cold but not aloof, beautiful but not coquettish, just like a banished fairy.

The painter obviously put a lot of effort into portraying the man in white very vividly, as if he was about to jump out of the paper, there seems to be a wind in his clothes, and his eyes and eyebrows are flowing.

"It's really a stunning beauty that is hard to find in the world. No wonder the fifth brother is so addicted to it. It's just that no matter how good the people in this painting are, it's not realistic. Fifth brother should be careful."

"Don't worry, brother, I know."

An Xining complied obediently, but she was not convinced in her heart. Her sub-painting was not just a person in the painting. One day, she would come out of the painting and spend a lifetime with her.

How could the crown prince fail to see his younger brother's duplicity, and frowned and said: "My mother is having a lot of trouble with your marriage, and always wants to find a lady who can help you and live with you. You should also learn to be good. Let the queen mother worry so much."

"Brother Emperor," An Xining suddenly felt shy, and retorted, "I already have someone I like in my heart, and I have to marry him in this life."

"Oh?" The crown prince became interested, "Who is so charming, and let the fifth brother say that he will not marry a non-qing, tell the emperor brother quickly, so that I can say something nice for you in front of the queen mother. "

An Xining rubbed his nose: "I can't say it now, but the emperor will know in the future."

"It's quite mysterious, that's all." The prince laughed, and got up and put on his sleeves. "I still need to meet some cronies later, and discuss with them about the morning court tomorrow, so I'll leave first."

"Brother, go slowly."

An Xining sent the prince outside the courtyard before turning back to the house, sitting at the table and staring at the painting again.

At Maoshi, Emperor Mingde was wearing a yellow robe and was walking towards the throne, which symbolizes supreme power. The eunuch behind him sang loudly: "The emperor is here."

The ministers who had been waiting by the side immediately knelt down to greet him: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Mingde sat down, raised his hands, and said in a steady voice: "Everyone is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"My dear friends, do you have a play today?"

"Report to the emperor, the minister has a play." Minister of the Ministry of Industry stepped forward and bowed.

"What's the matter, love?"

"I want to report to the emperor that I followed the emperor's order to repair the imperial mausoleum a few days ago, but the funds have not been in place for a long time. I went to the Ministry of household affairs, but was shunned because the treasury was tight, and I could only allocate 10 taels of silver. Guan Longmai is thriving, how can it be child's play, I hope His Majesty will make the decision."

"Your Majesty," the Minister of the Household Department was sweating, and hurriedly said, "It's not that I deliberately make things difficult for Lord Qi, but that the treasury really can't afford so much money at the moment."

Emperor Mingde's expression was placed behind the crown, he couldn't see his emotions clearly, he just heard him say: "In recent years, the weather in my summer has been smooth, and the taxes paid by various places are more than tens of millions, but now Aiqing tells me that the treasury is empty? "

"Your Majesty, the national treasury has indeed received a lot of income in recent years, but the construction costs in various places are also increasing. I have to be careful and spend every penny wisely. Besides, your Majesty, you should respond to General Li Weiyuan's proposal a month ago. And increased military investment, so the treasury really can't afford so much money now."

Li Weiyuan was hidden among the military officers, and at this moment he was called, so he gave the Hubu Shangshu a hard look, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although the world has been stable in my Great Xia in recent years, some tigers and wolves can't do it." , the matter of soldiers and generals must not be relaxed."

"General Li is right."

As soon as the crown prince said this, all the officials looked at him in surprise, no one knew that the crown prince had always been at odds with the Li Weiyuan faction who supported the second prince, how could he stand up and speak for him now, even Li Weiyuan was surprised , secretly guarding against the prince's tricks behind his back.

"Father, soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must not be relaxed. It doesn't matter if the matter of the imperial tomb can be postponed for a while."

"Then what does the crown prince think is the most important?" Minister of the Ministry of Industry said displeased.

"Master Qi, don't worry, it's just a delay, it's not a stop. If the treasury can't raise money for a while, it doesn't mean that it won't be able to raise money in a month. It will also be beneficial for you to go back and plan with a few adults from the Ministry of Industry."

The crown prince appeased Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, then turned to Emperor Mingde and said, "I remember that my father transferred a young general from Beiying, Kyoto to the outer city a few days ago, so the vacant position has already been filled."

"That's not true," Emperor Mingde pondered for a moment, "Do you have any good candidates?"

All the generals in the hall are eager to move. Although the official position of this young general of the Northern Camp is small, he is extremely important in the army. If he can secure his own people, that would be great.

A general was about to go out, but An Xining took the lead.

"Report to the emperor, and my son recommends himself to go."

"Oh?" Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with satisfaction, but he said on his mouth: "Your Majesty, think about it, going to the military camp is not as comfortable as being in the palace."

"My son has already reached the crown, so I can no longer be as inactive as before, worrying my father, queen, and queen. I really don't have any ambitions in politics, so I am willing to ride horses on the battlefield, defend my family and the country, and hope my father will be successful."

"Okay, good!" Emperor Mingde praised twice, obviously very satisfied, "Then let the fifth prince be appointed as the young general of the Beiying, do you have any objections?"

The generals looked at each other, but who dared to stand up against it, Li Weiyuan gritted his teeth secretly, and sure enough he was cheated by the prince, but it was too late at this time, so he could only follow the crowd to shout long live.

After the dynasty was over, An Xining asked the prince for credit: "Brother, how am I doing today?"

The prince squinted at him, with a half-smile: "Too much force, pretentious."

An Xining lowered his head, he didn't want to hurt people like this.

"Eldest Brother, Fifth Emperor."

An Xining turned his head to look, and saw the second prince, An Xizhe, coming from behind, with straight features and slender eyebrows, he was indeed a handsome man in all fairness, but who made this person his sworn enemy.

An Xining lowered his eyes, tried his best not to vent the hatred in his eyes, and called Second Brother Brother lightly.

"Congratulations to Brother Wu Huang for being awarded the post of Beiying Junior General."

The second prince had a smile on his face, but there was a trace of coldness in what he said.

"This is also thanks to Brother Erhuang for not arguing with me. Who doesn't know that General Li loves your nephew the most, and he also holds the power of the two battalions in the north and south. If Brother Erhuang played at the court at that time, I am afraid that I will have nothing to do with it." .”

"Fifth Emperor Brother is too modest."

Who doesn't know that the scene in the morning court today was planned by you and the emperor a long time ago, no matter how many people stand up, it will only fall on your head in the end.

"Brother Dahuang, Brother Wuhuang, I still have something to do, so I will go ahead and say goodbye."

"Second brother, go slowly."

The prince still had a gentle look, and he took An Xining away after the second prince had left.
