Chapter 906 The Emperor and the Lonely Minister

In the royal study, the emperor and the Marquis were drinking tea with a smile on their face.

“I have always wanted to clean up the Forbidden Army before, there is no excuse. Now is a good opportunity!”

The Marquis nodded, "My personal guards are all good at interrogation. Whoever the Emperor wants to replace, it's better to involve them all in this matter and deal with it together. If anyone in the court says anything, they will be directly pushed to It’s fine on my head.”

The emperor originally wanted to do this, but now that my cousin has said it, it is naturally better.

So he smiled and said: "Now, the table will be full of accusations against you for being domineering."

The Marquis was indifferent and responded: "Next year when Jiangbei is recovered, I will retire and travel.

"I have been fighting for the past few years, and I want to take a rest. When I am not in the court, those old-fashioned people will naturally shut up.

“However, they were not wrong in impeaching me this time. I was indeed more domineering just now. Not only did I arrest people, but I also sealed the palace gates.

"But I personally sent Fu Niu'er into the palace, and they still dared to make things difficult. If I don't act cruelly, they will be even more unscrupulous in the future!"

A hint of complexity flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "Cousin really wants to retire and wander around? By then, the country has just been recovered. Even if my cousin is impatient to stay in Kyoto and enjoy all the glory, he still wants to help me guard the border. How can I Just walk away?"

The Marquis shook his head and raised his hand to pour him tea, refusing to compromise at all.

“The country is yours, it’s good enough if I help you take it back. Besides, there are many people who want to be loyal to you, and there is no shortage of good generals.

“Even if they are not capable of killing the barbarians and regaining their territory, they can always do the job by guarding the borders and protecting their homeland conscientiously.

“Don’t hold me back all the time and let me stay lazy for the rest of my life.

"In the words of Fu Niu'er, even if you are gathering wool, you can't always catch me as a sheep. You have to change a few!

"In the past two years, Fu Niu'er has grown up and is always clamoring to go out for a walk. I want to take her to see the magnificent mountains and rivers of our Tianwu!"

His tone seemed to have temporarily forgotten each other's identities as kings and ministers, returning to the time when the two brothers were closely dependent on each other.

If outsiders hear this, they will definitely yell loudly, "How presumptuous!"

But the emperor was very happy and responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll find someone else to help. Cousin, just take a rest."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then said, "Fu Niu'er has been wronged today. In a moment, I will have someone sew two more boxes of dresses for her as an apology."

"Okay, this girl loves beauty, she will definitely be happy." Before the Marquis could finish his words, Manager Yi hurried back from the palace gate.

He had a few confessions in his hand, and it turned out that the provocative Imperial Guard soldiers and the lieutenant were all under the instigation of others.

The man they revealed to be behind the scenes was none other than the commander of the Imperial Guard.

The emperor is very satisfied, which is enough reason to overhaul the Forbidden Army.

He directly wrote three more names to Manager Yi and ordered, "Add these three people to the list."

Manager Yi immediately bowed down in response, then took the list and left.

As for how to add the name to the import statement, it is not difficult at all.

Under severe punishment, if you can tell the truth, of course you can also tell lies!

Mr. Yi met the third princess and Jiayin as soon as he went out.

The third princess and Jiayin both greeted him. Manager Yi smiled and saluted, and said, "Princess, princess, the emperor and the marquis are drinking tea. Maybe they are waiting for you."

The third princess nodded, but Jiayin responded with a smile, "Manager Yi, I will stay in the palace for a while from now on. Please take good care of me!"

As expected, Manager Yi smiled even more enthusiastically, "The princess was just kidding. If anything happens, just tell me the old slave."

After a few words of greeting, Jiayin and the third princess entered the study.

The emperor saw the two little girls walking in holding hands and smiling. At this moment, he actually wanted to thank the Queen Mother.

Thanks to the Queen Mother forcing Good News to enter the palace, the princess got a good playmate and looked so happy.

“Father (Uncle Huang) is well!”

The two girls both saluted and greeted each other sweetly.

The emperor quickly raised his hand to signal them to get up and said with a smile: "Fu Niu'er is finally here. If it's a few days later, the third princess will be in a hurry and will go to Suijintan to find you."

Jiayin sighed, his little face full of frustration and grievance, "If I had known that I would be bullied as soon as I walked in, I really wouldn't have come."

The emperor quickly coaxed him: "Don't be afraid, Fu Niu. Those dog slaves without eyes, the emperor has already sorted them out for you. From now on, no one will dare to say another word when you come in and out of the palace!"

"Well, I don't believe anyone but Uncle Huang!" Jiayin wrinkled her nose, then took the fruit basket from Shuiling's hand and put it on the table with difficulty.

“Uncle Huang, this is the fruit I picked for you this morning. Can you see if it’s fresh?”

Before the emperor could speak, the third princess said hurriedly: "Father, give me half a bunch of bananas! Jiayin is stingy. I asked her for it, but she said she didn't have any!"

It is rare for the emperor to see his daughter so lively, so she actually competed with him for fruits.

You know, although my daughter has become more sensible in the past two years, she has also become more distant from him.

He immediately responded: "Okay, I'll give you all the strings. But from now on, when Jiayin stays with you, you have to take good care of her."

"Of course, we are good sisters!" The third princess agreed immediately, making everyone laugh.

After chatting for a while, Manager Yi came back and reported, "Your Majesty, the matter is finished."

The Marquis then stood up and bowed his hands in salute, "Your Majesty, I have gone to search the house."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, cousin." The emperor nodded and sighed a little guiltily, "Cousin has to help me bear the infamy again."

House Hou responded indifferently: "It's just a false name, good or bad doesn't matter."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The third princess and Jiayin did not want to delay the emperor's review of the memorial, so they also left.

Jiayin stepped out of the threshold and looked at the retreating figure of her adoptive father, feeling a little painful in her heart.

Everyone in the world said that the emperor's letter was written to the Marquis of Tingting again, but no one knew that the letter was written in two words, and how hard it was to get it.

The emperor's trust is only given to his lone ministers!

The solitary minister stands on the opposite side of the officials, or even the world, and is only a sword in the emperor's hand.

I hope that after my adoptive father regains Jiangbei and unifies the Tianwu River and Mountains, he can really get what he wants, be disarmed and return to his fields, and his horses can be released to Nanshan.

 She turned around and looked at the carved sandalwood door of the imperial study room, hoping that the person inside would always remember her adoptive father's kindness and not play the trick of hiding the bird in its bow...

“Jiayin, let’s go, what are you looking at?” The third princess turned around and saw Jiayin was two steps behind, so she gave her a tug.

Jiayin sorted out the complicated mood and responded: "I don't think about anything, let's go back to eat quickly. In the future, if we have nothing to do, bake some snacks and bring them to Uncle Huang to prepare tea."

"Okay!" the third princess responded, "Last time, my father said the butterfly cake I baked was a little tough. Do you have any ideas to improve it?"

"This is easy, I'll teach you when the time comes." Jiayin responded, and the two of them returned to Zhilan Palace all the way.

As expected, Shuiyun had already tidied up the side hall and prepared lunch.
