Xiao Fubao could no longer listen to Shen Fei's random speculation and said, "That's impossible. The Emperor has many eyes and ears. Every word and deed of the concubines in the harem is under the Emperor's nose. No one dares to do this unless she wants to Her nine clans buried her with her."
Shen Fei: "......"
Well, it seems that it is impossible.
Shen Fei looked at Xiao Fubao's angry little face and thought it was funny, "Hey, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Haha!"
"And you little douchi, what do you know, how dare you refute me."
Xiao Fubao turned his head away awkwardly, "Anyway, you can't make jokes about the royal family."
Tang Zhiling also nodded Shen Fei's head, "Yes, our family must always be vigilant. If you can't say anything, don't say it. If the emperor hears it, you may be punished."
Xiao Fubao glanced at Tang Zhiling.
That's not the case. The emperor's bastard wishes that all his brothers were not biological!
Seeing that Tang Zhiling's hand was still nodding at Shen Fei's head, Xiao Fubao felt a little distressed, "Stop dotting it, she will be in pain!"
Tang Zhiling looked at Xiao Fubao speechlessly, "Okay, you two are in the same group, I am the outsider, that's all!"
Xiao Fubao rolled his eyes at Tang Zhiling and moved closer to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei felt her son's attachment, "Hahaha, of course, we are the same."
The atmosphere in Tanghou Mansion was lively and harmonious.
In the next few days, the four princes quickly returned to their fiefdom after attending the prince's wedding banquet.
The New Year is coming soon, and they don't want to celebrate the New Year in the capital.
After all, it is not their territory in the capital, and they are restricted in everything they do.
From time to time they were worried that the emperor would detain them in the capital, so they all wanted to return home.
The emperor did not keep these brothers, mainly because they were causing trouble under his nose.
The emperor had already taken advantage of the fact that several princes were away from the fiefdom to conduct an inspection of various state capitals.
Nothing unusual was found.
The emperor was relieved.
It stands to reason that the prince's wedding is a big event, but it is not so big that the princes in the fiefdom can come in person.
Especially the second child Chu Jingzhang and the fifth child Chu Jingxi who are far away in Tingzhou and Quanzhou. If they want to participate on time, they have to start early.
The emperor gave the two people information very early and asked them to rush to Beijing quickly.
The emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether his younger brothers had different intentions.
If the prince is getting married and you don't come in person, it means that you are on guard against the court and the emperor.
Now that everyone is here, the emperor's heart is mostly at peace.
In the capital, as the four princes left, there was also a period of silence.
Everyone is also looking forward to celebrating the New Year. The people in the capital are waiting for the festival.
On the official road to Beijing, a fast horse galloped.
This was an eight-hundred-mile rush. After the horse entered Chang'an City, the speed slowed down a bit.
He waited until he arrived at the gate of the palace and handed over the letter, "Report, a great victory in Beiping County. Duke Tang defeated the Xianbei army, recaptured Liucheng County and Yan County, and shot and killed Xianbei's eldest prince Tuoba Chengbi!"
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay and hurriedly delivered the letter.
The emperor was also very happy when he received the news.
"Okay, okay, hahaha, God is really blessing me Dayu, hahaha!"
Prince Gong: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed to the heavens!"
The emperor did not expect that Tang Guogong was so powerful that he actually killed the eldest prince Tuoba Chengbi of Xianbei. The eldest prince was a popular candidate for the crown prince of Xianbei!
The emperor had less speculations about Duke Tang and said excitedly: "Gong Tang is the pillar of the Yu Dynasty! Okay, okay! Hahaha!"
At this time, the prince came to Qinzheng Hall and heard the emperor's laughter.
"Eunuch Feng, who is in the hall?"
When Feng Bao saw the prince coming, he hurriedly saluted the prince, "See His Highness the prince! Prince Gong and Lord Chen are both here."
The prince nodded, "Excuse me, please tell me, I want to see my father."
"Your Highness, wait a moment!"
Since the prince's wedding, he has gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to run errands.
This is the first time he has participated in the political affairs of the court, so he is very diligent. He is the prince, so the officials will not make things difficult for him. Whatever the prince wants to see will be sent to him.
The prince had already seen the military pay and supplies and food that Tang Guogong applied for, which were very huge figures.
The prince compared the armies in other regions and found that the expenditure here was indeed a bit high.
Then I thought about talking to the emperor, but today was such an unlucky day.
It turned out to be the news of Tang Guogong's victory.
The immature prince always felt that this timing was too coincidental.
"His Royal Highness, the Emperor invites you to come in."
The prince nodded and walked into Qinzheng Hall.
At this time, Chen Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was also reporting to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the report that Duke Tang Guo submitted before, requesting the imperial court to send military pay and food and grass, is not suitable to be delayed any longer. It is bitterly cold in Beiping County, and it coincides with the war between the two armies. , the supply to the rear of the army must not be cut off!"
The emperor also understood this. He had doubts in his heart before, and the military salary prepared in advance was awarded to the Southwest Army, so the emperor was undecided about Tang Guogong.
Now that Tang Guogong has won the battle, the emperor is very happy, "Okay, Chen Aiqing goes directly to Liu Shangshu and says that I am right."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Jing was very happy.
When the prince heard the emperor's promise, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Naturally, the prince did not dare to refute the emperor in front of the courtiers.
He could only carefully discuss this matter with the emperor in private.
After Chen Shangshu and Prince Gong left, the emperor asked: "Prince, what do you want?"
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the good news of the victory.
"Father, according to my investigation, Duke Tang has applied for a huge amount of military pay."
The emperor was also very distressed, but there was nothing he could do. "This time in the battle with Xianbei, many soldiers of the Yu Dynasty were killed and injured. We still have to pay the resettlement allowance."
The prince naturally knew this truth, but he had some doubts in his heart.
"Father, General Cui is in the Anbei Protectorate. He has more troops than Duke Tang, but the military pay and food he needs are not as much as Duke Tang."
The emperor also had doubts in his heart, "Okay, I know about this. I will send someone to check it out this time."
The emperor was still very satisfied with the prince, "Prince, that's right. It seems that you are very attentive in running errands in the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
The prince was praised by the emperor and was very excited.
Soon, the people in the capital knew the news of Tang Guogong's victory, and the whole capital was filled with joy.
Tang Hou Mansion.
Shen Fei and Xiao Fubao are playing games together.
Xiao Fubao now knows a lot of words, and Shen Fei is still a dabbler, but it doesn't stop her from playing.
"Xiao Fubao, can you guess what this set of numbers means? Use this collection of poems."
This is a new game played by Shen Fei and Xiao Fubao. They find the words in the book based on the numbers and then unlock a sentence.
Xiao Fubao is very smart, and Shen Fei can teach him once.
My little hands rummaged quickly, and then I found a sentence, "Mother likes little Fubao!"
Shen Fei snapped her fingers and said, "By the way, Zai Zai, you are so smart. This is what this set of numbers means. If we are separated in the future, you can use this code when you write to your mother."
Xiao Fubao approached Shen Fei directly and said, "Mother, I will never leave you."
Shen Fei laughed loudly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, our family is together."
Qiao Shan, who was outside the door, noticed the game played by Shen Fei and Xiao Fubao and quickly ran back to his room.
Then he also took out the numbers that had troubled him for a long time.
