When Zhao Xuanyi and Tang Mi returned to the house, Tang Mi was full of energy and joy! The smile seems to be engraved on the face, and the eyes are full of little stars, shining brightly!
When Shen Wei saw Tang Mi like this, he was very confused: "Young Master, have you done something? Why is Miss Tang so happy?"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head and looked at his finger. There was a small wound on it and teeth marks on the side. Zhao Xuanyi had a sad look on his face, "I was forced!"
"What?" Shen Wei's face was full of questions after Zhao Xuanyi's words!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei with a sad face, "I'm doing this all for the Ming Dynasty!"
"Ah?" Shen Wei wanted to give Zhao Xuanyi a slap in the face. You can't speak, can you?
"By the way, Brother Shen, send someone immediately to the market to find something for me. I want to give it to the emperor as a gift!"
"Looking for it now? It's only been two days. Don't choose any rare treasures. I don't have any place for you to find them!"
"Don't worry, it's not hard to find!" Zhao Xuanyi whispered in Shen Wei's ear!
Shen Wei frowned after hearing this, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi in surprise, "What do you mean? This thing can also be used as a gift from the emperor?"
"Just go and do it, and leave the rest to me!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a confident look on his face.
Shen Wei thought to himself that my young master has gone crazy again and does not act according to common sense every time!
Zhao Xuanyi returned to the hall and saw many people sitting in the hall. Li Hanyan and Zi Yuan were here, and there was a man and a woman sitting in the front seats. These men and women were none other than Li Hanrui and Chen Xue. When they saw Zhao Xuanyi coming back , Li Hanyan hurried over.
"Husband, you are back. My second brother has been waiting for you for a long time!" Li Hanyan complained with a face!
"Ah, second brother is here! I'm really sorry, there's something going on outside, I just came back!"
Li Hanrui smiled, "I know you are busy right now, aren't you waiting for you here?"
Zhao Xuanyi sat next to Li Hanrui, "What? Second brother has something to do with me?"
Li Hanrui looked at Chen Xue, "You and my little sister go out for a walk first, and I will talk to my brother-in-law about something!"
"Okay!" Chen Xue was very reasonable, pulled Li Hanyan and Zi Yuan and left!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at it and wondered what was going on? Why are you so serious? "Second brother, did something happen?"
Li Hanrui nodded seriously, "Recently, some Tatars have suddenly arrived from abroad, and according to intelligence, they have arrived in Henan!"
"Tatars? What are they doing here? Do they have some plans?"
"We don't know yet, so I came to you to pick up some people, capture them, and then interrogate them!"
"Looking to borrow someone from me? Aren't there tens of thousands of border guards in the military camp? Aren't they at your disposal?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi and raised his eyebrows. Zhao Xuanyi immediately stopped laughing, and then understood that this matter would not be that simple. It had to be done in secret, and he needed good hands, otherwise he wouldn't have to borrow someone from him!
"Second brother, how much do you plan to borrow?"
"The other party seems to have about a hundred people. Give me three hundred!" Li Hanrui said.
"No problem, when do you want it?"
"Of course the sooner the better, give it to me now and I will take them away immediately!"
"So anxious? Since you knew they were Tatars, why didn't you catch them along the way?"
"They didn't do anything along the way. Even if we want to arrest them, we have no reason! This time I want the brothers to pretend to be bandits and let these barbarians have a taste of our green forest road!"
Zhao Xuanyi raised his thumb and said, "Sure, I'll make arrangements now! Sun Yan? Where's Sun Yan?"
Sun Yan heard Zhao Xuanyi's voice and hurried into the hall, "My lord, did you call me?"
"Immediately go to the military camp and mobilize three hundred Kirin Guards. They are not allowed to wear military uniforms. They should all change into civilian clothes and put on all their weapons. Follow the second brother out to do some errands. You will follow along the way. You will obey the second brother on everything!" Zhao Xuanyi immediately ordered.
"Yes, sir, don't worry.
We did what the second general said along the way! Sun Yan agreed with a smile!
Li Hanrui nodded with satisfaction, "Brother-in-law, it's better to be happy. It's getting late, so I'll lead my troops and leave. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back!"
"I didn't say anything!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up with a smile and sent Li Hanrui away. Just take Chen Xue back and let Li Hanyan be sent back to the General's Mansion!
Zhao Xuanyi found Zi Yuan, "Sister Zi Yuan, what gifts have you prepared for the Emperor's birthday party in a few days?"
"I prepared a pair of jade bracelets. They are not expensive, but they are still reasonable!" Zi Yuan replied.
Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand, "No, you can keep it yourself!"
"What? Your husband has a better gift?"
"Yeah! That's right! Anyway, don't worry about this! Also, equip Han Yan with a beautiful dress. I will take her to the emperor's birthday party!"
"Yes! I know!" Zi Yuan nodded and said. Zi Yuan is a serious wife. It would be hard to tell if she just brought a concubine!
Early the next morning, Zhu Wenyu and Lan Chuyin came to the Protector's Mansion. Zhao Xuanyi was woken up again by Shen Wei before he got up. Zhao Xuanyi opened the door with a look of despair, "What are you doing again? Look at me. Are you having trouble sleeping? Come on, come on, go sleep on my bed!"
Shen Wei looked inside and then smiled, "Isn't it good? The second lady can't let it go, right?"
Zhao Xuanyi kicked Shen Wei in the leg, "What happened again?"
"The prince is here and is already drinking tea in the hall! Isn't that why you don't go now?"
"Ah, he's here! OK, I'll be there in a minute!" Zhao Xuanyi said and closed the door.
Zi Yuan got dressed and got out of bed, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing. The prince is here. Please change my clothes and I'll go take a look!"
"Yes!" Zi Yuan took the clothes and put them on for Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi took a towel and wiped his face before walking out of Zi Yuan's room!
After arriving in the hall, Zhu Wenyu saw Zhao Xuanyi with a face full of anxiety. He hurriedly came over and took Zhao Xuanyi's hand, "I said, brother, where have you been these two days? It's so difficult to see you now!"
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, I can't tell you that I sacrificed myself for the country. I have been so tired these past two days that I feel flabby, right? "Ah, isn't the Emperor's birthday coming soon? I'm just going to prepare myself and say that I still want to see you here. I have something I want to discuss with you!"
"Wait a moment for your matter and listen to me first. I'm in a hurry!"
"What's wrong, Seventh Brother? Did something happen to Miss Qin again?"
"That's not true! But it's almost the same! That's right. I estimate that at this Father's birthday banquet, I will be selected as the Crown Princess!"
"Well! What a happy event! I'll set off some firecrackers for you!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he stood up and left!
Zhu Wenyu pushed Zhao Xuanyi on the chair and said, "Sit down! Are you gloating about misfortune? Are you brothers?"
"I celebrate your happy event! Hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled happily, but Zhu Wenyu's face was very dark. Zhao Xuanyi coughed twice, "Who is this girl?"
"Am I afraid because I don't know? I also kissed my aunt, and she doesn't know either!" Zhu Wenyu said anxiously.
"Then you didn't ask the Queen?"
"Queen Mother? It's even worse. I don't dare to mention it now. If I say it, Queen Mother will definitely let me choose Qi Qingyu!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, it was indeed a problem. According to Zhu Wenyu's temper, he probably wouldn't want that person as long as he wasn't Qin Jinyi! "Brother Qi, we can actually handle this matter of mine and yours together!"
"What's wrong with you? Is it more important than me?"
"Attack Japan!"
"..." After saying these four words, Zhu Wenyu's face was filled with surprise. "You want to go to Japan?"
"Such a despicable country will bully you whenever it finds an opportunity. Moreover, it is the most powerful small country in the Far Eastern Theater. As long as I destroy them, the Goryeo and Jurchens will not dare to step into our Ming Dynasty again! At least they can withstand it. You can live there for ten years!" Zhao Xuanyi said confidently.
"But...?" Zhu Wenyu looked around
Look, "Um...junior sister, you go out and play for a while first!"
Lan Chuyin turned around and waited for Zhu Wenyu, "Are you guarding me?"
"I'm not guarding you, we're talking about national affairs! It's not convenient for you as a woman!"
"It's okay, it's okay...!" Zhao Xuanyi said hurriedly, "Don't treat her like a human being!"
"..." Lan Chuyin glared at Zhao Xuanyi.
"Brother, I support this matter with all my hands! But with the strength of the Qilin Guards like you?" Zhu Wenyu looked helpless!
"Brother Seven, I have already made a plan. My current troops, plus those borrowed from outside, are less than 120,000!"
"Twelve...? Where did you get so many people?"
"Borrowed!" I sacrificed my appearance. "I borrowed some from my father-in-law and Miss Tang's Far Eastern Army. And most importantly, I plan to put you in command!"
When Zhu Wenyu heard this, although he was surprised, he also got excited and asked, "Why is this?"
"Simple! Although you are the prince now, you have been living outside the palace for a long time. In the government and the public, you have made every effort without gaining an inch of grass! And in this expedition, I am sure of victory. If you take the lead, we can capture Japan. The last credit will naturally be given to you!"
After Zhu Wenyu heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He was so moved inside that he thought that brother Zhao Xuanyi was so interesting. He actually thought of me for such a great thing? Zhu Wenyu held Zhao Xuanyi's hand and said, "Brother, don't say anything. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will give you whatever you want in the entire Ming Dynasty!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled heartily, if I wasn't afraid that your great achievements would provoke revenge from your royal family, would I have given you such a big credit? But it’s better to give to you than to others. I will still rely on you in the future!
"Brother Qi, you're welcome, who among us brothers is following whom? But now there's another question. I think it's impossible to go on an expedition without the Emperor's permission, so I plan to talk to the Emperor about this at the birthday banquet!"
"On a birthday banquet? Is this...appropriate?"
"Brother Qi, don't worry. You will follow my instructions when the time comes. If the emperor agrees and you become the coach then, you can also take the opportunity to leave the capital for a while, right? Presumably the marriage arranged by the emperor for you can also be postponed for a while, and the rest Let's talk about it when we get back! What do you think?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"This? Of course, brother, what are you going to do with the overall plan?"
"That's what I thought. When the time comes...?" Zhao Xuanyi told Zhu Wenyu his plan! After hearing this, Zhu Wenyu praised him repeatedly! Thumbs up, "Brother, my Ming Dynasty has you, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"
Zhao Xuanyi clasped his fists, "Seventh brother's award is a blessing from the emperor!" The two of them have finally settled their plan!
After several days of preparation, the emperor's birthday finally arrived. Before I woke up in the morning, I heard the sound of firecrackers and loud gongs and drums outside. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that the New Year was celebrated early!
Zhao Xuanyi woke up early in the morning and looked at Tang Rou beside him. Zhao Xuanyi smiled and patted Tang Rou's buttocks, "Sister Tang, get up and get ready for me!"
Tang Rou looked reluctant, "I don't care, you won't take me there?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and kissed Tang Rou on her red lips. "Li Hanyan is at home. If I take you there, it would be a disgrace to my father-in-law! Don't be angry. I satisfied you last night... Wuwu?"
Tang Rou blushed and covered Zhao Xuanyi's mouth, "I'll get up, can't I get up?" Tang Rou stood up reluctantly, took out a sky blue gown, put it on Zhao Xuanyi, and took out a white belt inlaid with jade. Zhao Xuanyi is on!
Then he took out a jade pendant from a box and tied it around Zhao Xuanyi's waist. Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and looked at it, "This jade pendant doesn't seem to be mine!"
"Mine! This is the Yuanyang Pei!"
"Mandarin duck pendant? What is it?"
Tang Rou raised her jade hand and showed off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This is a piece of solid jade. The material removed from the outside is made into a jade bracelet, and the jade removed from the middle is made into a jade pendant. This is the mandarin duck pendant!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhao Xuanyi picked up Tang Rou's jade hand and looked at it carefully. He saw that Tang Rou's jade bracelet was engraved with a phoenix, while his own jade pendant was engraved with a phoenix.
Carve a dragon!
"General jade pendants are very big, at least bigger than this one, but a knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that yours is a mandarin duck pendant, because it is taken out from the middle of the bracelet, so it is very small! From now on, when we go out, others will I’ll know you and I are husband and wife when I see you!”
"No one knows you are my wife without this!"
"It's different!" Tang Rou tied the jade pendant tightly, "You are not allowed to wear other jade pendants in the future, you can only wear this one!"
"Okay! It's up to you!" Zhao Xuanyi didn't know why Tang Rou was so insistent!
