Chapter 112: Conversation between Taifu and Emperor

Chapter 112 Conversation between Taifu and Emperor

The clouds in the sky were fluttering and covered the dazzling sun, and a straight figure was walking up the steps towards the imperial study.

It's just this back view, but with gray and silver hair on top.

When the passing palace people saw this person, they all bent down and saluted solemnly.

"Master Taifu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are getting more and more energetic." The **** outside the imperial study room saw the person coming, and immediately opened the door for him with a smile on his face.

This person is Ningguo's Grand Tutor, Xiao Deyin's grandfather. At this time, he seemed to have something important to do, and when someone greeted him, he only nodded slightly in response.

It wasn't until he heard the eunuch's flattery that he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the emperor here?"

"After receiving your letter, the Holy Majesty has been waiting for you in the imperial study room. You will know when you come in with the servant."

The two entered the imperial study one by one, and after passing through the front hall, they saw the emperor sitting at the table drinking tea.

"The old minister has seen the emperor." Taifu Xiao saluted with his hands in hand.

When the emperor saw this, he immediately got up and held his hand, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be like this, Taifu Xiao. You are already old, and I have already exempted you from those red tapes. Why today..."

"Today... the old minister has something to say to the emperor." Taifu Xiao's eyes seemed to be clouded with sorrow.

The emperor sat down Taifu Xiao very casually, and then waved his hand to signal the **** to pour tea.

"Your Majesty, the prince has been neglecting his studies these few days."

「Oh? How should I say it?」

"It stands to reason that the old minister should not arrange the crown prince behind his back, but the prince is not to mention going to the old minister to learn the way of being a king these days, and even... the old minister heard that the prince is still nostalgic for the land of love and moon these days."

The emperor smiled lowly, and said: "Perhaps... that child is a little annoyed that I didn't let him go south with Chang'an to help the disaster this time. So... why did you deliberately act like this to protest his dissatisfaction?"

After Xiao Taifu took the tea from the eunuch, his eyes were dim: "It just so happens that the old minister also wants to know, your majesty sent the second prince to... why?"

The emperor lowered his eyes and suppressed the dark eyes.

Although Taifu Xiao came to him to sue the prince, he was thinking of the prince after all. After thinking about it, the emperor felt that it was inappropriate to say that he was beating the prince in order to take care of Chang An, so he could only smile and say:

"It's because I feel that he is not doing things safely these days, so I thought of sending my second child out to stimulate him, but don't be too comfortable."

"But...Your majesty, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. The prince has become more and more negative recently." Taifu Xiao sighed heavily.

The crown prince was grown up by him, and he is smart and decisive in many things, and his style of doing things is more suitable for this position.

It's just... In recent years, his mind seems to be getting more and more serious. Sometimes, even his teacher doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Teacher Xiao don't need to worry too much, my son, I know it well." The emperor didn't look worried at all, and continued to play with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand with a smile: "Look at Qian'er, he is silent on weekdays. Loud, laughing at everyone. I thought he was a gentle man who followed his mother and concubine all the time. As a result, after sending him to Jingbian, my spies wrote to say that he performed well. He handled things much more vigorously than in Beijing. .”

"The second prince has always been of good conduct and modesty. It's just... the old minister feels that the second prince is still too indecisive."

"I think he has a good temper and is more stable than the boss."

"So... Your Majesty... regretted it?" Taifu Xiao asked directly with a slightly gloomy expression.

The emperor curled his lips: "What? Are you worried about your good apprentice? Don't worry, since I made Yi'er the crown prince, as long as he doesn't do anything outrageous or against human nature, my throne...sooner or later is his."

"The old minister is not speaking for the prince, but I am afraid that the prince will misunderstand your test of him..."

"So what if he misunderstood, he can't rebel, right? As long as he behaves well, the throne will be his sooner or later. But if he can't bear his temper, it's hard to say."

The two were discussing about the prince, when the **** who exited the door respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said, "Why is she here again? Forget it, let her in."

"yes."

After the queen came in, she first nodded lightly at Mrs. Xiao as a greeting, and then she said to the emperor with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty, why...don't you order An Ge to come back? She is a princess, what does it sound like to follow her to help the disaster?"

After hearing what she said, the emperor said in an unhappy tone: "So what about the princess? Let her go if she wants to go. I'm not a child of seven or eight years old. Could it be that you want to tie her up for the rest of your life?"

"Your Majesty! There...there is a plague there! How can you rest assured that a delicate girl like An Ge is in such a dangerous place?"

"Delicate? My An Ge has never been weak. Besides, look at the granddaughter of Taifu Xiao's family, and the little girl of the Ruan family have all gone. Aren't they delicate little girls? I don’t spoil children like you do.”

"An Ge is a princess!" The queen lost her composure at this time.

After Master Xiao heard this, a little bit of displeasure appeared in his eyes:

"The empress is a little worried. The emperor said just now that the plague in Jingbian has been brought under control. Princess Puyang and the others will be fine. Besides, what the old minister said may not please you. But the old minister also has good intentions. Empress, you should manage the affairs of the harem well, and it is not suitable for you to participate too much in other things."

Taifu Xiao can be regarded as the veteran of the three dynasties. When facing the queen, he naturally would not hide his displeasure too much.

He has always spoken frankly, and he has not restrained himself because of the identity of the other party.

Not to mention the queen, even if the emperor said something wrong, he could point it out in person.

The queen was so blocked that she couldn't speak. Although she wanted to get angry, but because of the identity of the other party and her son's teacher, she could only swallow the anger back.

When she turned her head and wanted to say something more, the emperor waved at her:

"I am discussing government affairs with Taifu Xiao, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. You can go back. You don't have to worry about An Ge's safety, I have my own arrangements."

Seeing the impatience on the emperor's face, the empress could only hold back her displeasure, and left reluctantly after saying her concubine's resignation.

…

In the past few days, Gu Changan had to stand at the bridgehead guarded by the Ruan Family Army almost every other hour, looking towards the south.

If it wasn't for the fear of disrupting the opponent's plan, he would have entered the camp of the Nanting people at this time.

Thinking that his little fox might have to suffer on the other side, his heart is so painful.

Wuxin silently saw what Gu Changan did, and wrote it in a letter to his master.

Master Shoufu...

I really have his little lady in my heart.

In the evening of this day, Gu Chang'an came to the bridge as usual, looking towards the south obsessively.

The sky gradually turned dark, and the moon was already hanging high.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed across the dark sky.

It's just that the light is fleeting.

Fortunately, Wuxin was always by his side.
