Return of the Swallow

"The class teacher returns to the court? Who gave him the courage! My imperial envoy hasn't arrived yet, and he hasn't given him the will, so he dare to come back like this!"

Li Qitian was frightened and angry, pacing back and forth with his hands, only his footsteps and heavy gasps could be heard in the entire Imperial Study Room.

After a while, Li Qitian immediately decreed: "The northern cities, try their best to intercept Pang Xiao and his party! If anyone can catch Pang Xiao alive, I will appoint him as the country's lord, hereditary replacement!"

You must know that for hundreds of years, there has been a rule since the Northern Ji Kingdom, all titles are liuyou, that is to say, the ranks of the descendants, the hereditary titles are rare.If today's son was willing to open this golden mouth, it can be seen how jealous he is about the return of the Prince Zhongshun's class.

Pan Xiao has made great achievements in battle, and now he and Ji Zeyu have defeated Tatar together, and their status in the hearts of the people has long been raised. Even though Li Qitian slandered and blocked him in every way, the prince of the previous dynasty opposed him several times and three times, and every time it was huge. Undefeated, all of Li Qitian's actions became a foil, but the image of Pang Xiao as a foil was even taller.

Because Li Qitian knew this well, he was worried and urgently needed to control Pang Xiao.

It's just that people are not as good as the sky, and things will turn out to be like this.

The person who delivered the decree quickly went to the northern cities.

Li Qitian anxiously waited for news.

In the harem, where is there a concubine who does not expect the emperor to visit?But since the eruption of the Tartar Station, the emperor has not entered the harem for several months.The concubines had nowhere to talk about their sadness, so they tried to find out about Li Qitian's itinerary, openly or secretly, and tried to meet him.

But they never get a chance.

Several concubines gathered in Kunning Palace today, and they were talking to the queen. The grandmother next to the queen walked quickly from outside, dignified and whispered in the queen's ear.

When the queen heard that "Prince Zhongshun's class teacher returned to the court, or would encounter halfway with the envoy sent by the emperor", her eyes became rounded, and the blood color disappeared from her proud face.

Several concubines looked at the queen's expression, and knew that something major must have happened, otherwise this calm and unmoving master wouldn't have this expression.

"Manny, what's the trouble? Sisters can also help sisters share their worries."

"Yeah, mother, is there something wrong?"

The queen's heart was pounding, but there were some things that could not be said casually.The harem must not be involved in politics, not to mention that she knows too much about her husband's temperament, even if her skills are not as good as others, she will not allow people to say no.If oneself said something here and was passed into the emperor's ears by these people, wouldn't it be her fault?

The queen said that she was tired and let everyone go.

When everyone left, the grandmother grandmother leaned next to the queen and whispered: "Manny, what do you think of this matter? The saint arranged for someone to deliver the decree. Before the decree came, Prince Zhongshun dared to teach It's back. This is obviously not right."

The queen nodded and asked, "Where is Hao brother?"

Grandma Sun said: "His Royal Highness is studying with the master, the lady wants to summon?"

"No, let him study well. It's just these days..." Leaning in the ears of Grandma Sun, she also kept her voice low, "Prepare all of Hao's personal wear. If the situation is not right, immediately Send the child out."

"Niang Niang, you!" Grandma Sun was shocked.

The queen’s eyes were flushed with tears in her eyes, "This is no way. Although it is precious as a prince, once things go wrong, I am afraid that as a prince, he will become Hao brother’s life reminder! He is only five years old and he knows. What? Why should I be tired by other people? My palace has lived for so many years, it's enough. There is only one brother Hao in his life. Even if I risk the world, I must let Brother Hao live. "

Grandma Sun's nose sore, tears fell quizzically, "Manny, it's not enough, it's not like this. You are the mother of a country, and the little majesty is the only son of the sage, no matter how... "

"Because of this, we have to prepare with both hands." The queen forced her tears and said softly: "I don't ask Hao to be a famous emperor. I only hope that he is an ordinary and healthy child who can be happy. Live every day and live peacefully to old age, so that it is worthwhile for the child to come to this world."

The queen stood up, shaking her body.Mother Sun hurriedly helped her.

"Manny, the slave and maid understand what you mean. But if something happens, you can't just leave your Royal Highness. The slave and maid will take care of everything. If it doesn't happen, you take your Highness and go."

"Me?" The queen laughed mockingly, and didn't put on the identity of a queen. She just shook her head and said: "I can't go. It's like when the emperor liquidated Pang Xiao, even Qin Clan would not let him go, think about it. , Any person who is opposed to the emperor really reaches that point, will he not let me go?"

Grandma Sun was speechless for a while and couldn't find words that could help her.

The queen sighed: "I know your intentions and your loyalty. We have been a master and servant. For so many years, I have always regarded you as a family member. Today's situation is urgent. There is bound to be a battle between the sage and Prince Zhongshun. In the end, it’s unknown who can live to the end. I just want to ask you. When it is a last resort, I will take Brother Hao and go out to live the life of an ordinary person. At that time, he will no longer be a prince, no more It's Li Hao, he is just a child of an ordinary house owner, and you are his grandmother. I will prepare money and a house for you. I only ask you to raise Brother Hao as a grandson and let him be a decent man. people."

At this point, the queen has choked up.

Grandma Sun almost sobbed and cried.

The master and servant were relatively weeping, and because of the rules in the palace, they had to restrain their tears.

"As a woman, it's so difficult. I haven't seen much blessing. Even if you are a queen, your servants haven't seen you truly happy, but you have to be dragged along when you are in danger. What the pain is."

The queen smiled bitterly, "This is fate. Isn't that the same for all women under heaven."

The queen couldn't help but think of the little things that Pang Xiao had with Qin Yining. What she had experienced when she was at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but in retrospect, it will be a bit sweet and a little bit sour.

Qin Yining was in the same situation as her, both of whom were both prosperous and prosperous.But Qin Yining received Pang Xiao's true love, even if he died for such a man, he should be able to be willing?

What about her?Her husband is no longer the original him.He has no patience for her, no love, or even family affection.The reason why she was still sitting in the queen's seat was only because the emperor wanted to show the emperor's devotion, so she didn't let the chaotic wife go down.

She is cautious and no longer expects any love. She just wants her son to grow up peacefully.But now it seems that the mountain rain is about to come, and her husband can't even give it to her. She has to prepare for the funeral.

Is it fair?

Where is fairness in this world?

Lei Guoneng and Song Deqiu were ordered to lead the Three Thousand Camp to the north to declare the decree. Not long after they set off, they heard the news that the saint once again ordered the officials from all over the north to arrest the misfortune and have a reward.

When the scout sent out, he found out that Pang Xiao had already led his troops to the capital before they were arrested.

Lei Guoneng and Song Deqiu were panicked.

"Prince Zhongshun and Dingguo came together, and they led at least 300,000 soldiers and horses. We are so famous that we have brought three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses, but there are more than 1,000 people in total. How can we take them to live with Prince Zhongshun? ?"

"Take it? From the beginning, I knew I couldn't hold it." Song Deqiu shook his head. "This matter is really difficult to handle. It can't be won by force. It is impossible to arrest people, but if we don't go, we will resist the decree. ."

"But I'm afraid I won't save my life."

More than a thousand people accompanied by the two were stationed there, and they were not in a hurry to move forward.

At this time, the farther forward, the closer they are to Pang Xiao, and they all feel cowardly in their hearts.

And here, Pang Xiao indeed heard the news that Li Qitian ordered officials to arrest him and rewarded him generously.He originally thought it would take a lot of setbacks just to pass the city.

Unexpectedly, the first city that came out of Frontier Four Pass, before they could do anything, the other party had already opened the gate and let them go.

"The prince is our savior. Without the prince, would we still return to our hometown to cultivate?"

"The prince and the prince of the country repelled the Tartar, and there will be no Tartar who can rush in. The prince is so kind and virtuous, we will never forget it for a lifetime. It's just that the door is opened to let you pass by. How much trouble can it be? ?"

Pan Xiao's army went very smoothly all the way, wherever he took his soldiers and horses, they were all the way they had driven Tartar out a little bit earlier, which was equivalent to returning back the same way.

Although the will of the emperor is posted on the list, the people have also seen it.The emperor Shan Gao was far away, and they had no right to know, so they opened the city gate and let them go. There were even people who stuffed clothes into the hands of the Huben Army and the Peaceful Southern Army.

Such an unobstructed scene is really surprising.

When Li Qitian heard the news, his angry eyes were red, and he immediately furious at the Great Dynasty Meeting.

"This group of people are negligent in their duties! If the enemy invades, they don't know how to stop them, but open the door to convenience. What is the truth! With my salary, I have raised an outsider!"

The ministers at the meeting did not dare to say much.

What can we do this time?

There were many people on the other side. In order to fight the Tartar, all the soldiers and horses who could go to the front line of Northern Xinjiang were dispatched.Only Gyeonggi Guard and Sanqianying remained in the capital.

The terrible thing about Pang Xiao is that he is too prestigious in the army. Li Qitian is even worried that Pang Xiao will have a smooth journey to the rest of the land. When he arrives in the capital, will he bring people in?

If it really hits in, how can they resist it then?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Qitian became more irritable.

He didn't know when he couldn't bear to go crazy.

Pang Xiao came back with soldiers and horses, and he would not let him go easily!How does he fight him?

"Holy! The city once again found the confession of the former prince!" At this time, there was bad news.
