Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 577
Chuxiu laughed loudly at martial arts: "What's the matter, I let Axi go back to the capital, in fact, it was to prove that my army was not a rebellion, but on the side of the Qing emperor. Now that Cheng Rong's reinforcements from the capital have not yet arrived, this king The iron cavalry under him is ten times stronger than Shuilongguan, even if it is a strong attack, it can break the city overnight, so there is nothing to be upset about."

"My lord is wise, then please give me an order to attack the city!" Suddenly enlightened by his martial arts, he hurriedly handed over his hands and begged Chuxiu for his order.

"His Royal Highness, Cheng Rong's reinforcements have arrived from the direction of the capital, and they are right behind our army!" At this moment, Vanguard Zhou Gang came forward to report in a panic.

"How many people have they come?" Chuxiu looked at Zhou Gang contemptuously. "My lord, the reinforcements don't exceed a thousand people, but their banner is said to be the emperor's pardon edict, and it is said everywhere that the king knows the truth and is going to rehabilitate his highness." Zhou Gang replied happily.

"Oh? I really didn't expect that little girl, Axi, to say what she said, and it's hard to follow. It's a good job to eliminate the rumors for the king so quickly!" A smile appeared on the corner of Chuxiu's mouth, and he hurried Get off the horse, bring martial arts and Zhou Gang, to the front of Cheng Rong's reinforcements.

The flags were flying on the opposite side, and Cheng Rong looked into the distance, and saw that it was Lu Wang Chuxiu and several generals walking over. He couldn't help being overjoyed, he hurriedly dismounted to greet him, and personally held an edict, and came to Chuxiu.

"Master Cheng, thank you for coming to pass the decree. Is it true that the father already knew that the king was framed by a traitor, so he was forced to raise an army just now?" Chuxiu bowed his hands to Cheng Rong with a smile, and said loudly.

"My lord is lucky. Fortunately, the emperor is wise, and the empress is gentle and virtuous. After reading the letter sent by Axi, she suddenly realized, and quickly issued an edict to pardon the lord. You see, the edict has stated that, in fact, Concubine Jiang He was not killed, but a rumor deliberately spread by the Xirong spies." Cheng Rong handed the emperor's edict to Chuxiu face to face.

Chuxiu looked at it for a long time, and found that his father not only denied that Concubine Jiang was imprisoned, but also praised his benevolence and filial piety.

"His Royal Highness Lu, now that the matter has been clarified, and His Highness's grievances have been resolved, is there anything else His Highness is worried about?" Cheng Rong clasped his hands and asked quickly when he caught a glimpse of Chu Xiu's sad face.

Lu Wang Chuxiu smiled suddenly at Cheng Rong: "Your Excellency, in fact, it is not bad for Father to scold me. I have always known that Father is resolute and suspicious. Now that Father is so easy to appease me, I am afraid that Father will be suspicious of me in the future." Deeper, please teach me, what is the best way to avoid disaster?"

Cheng Rong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really deliberate. In order to avoid the king's suspicion, His Highness might as well quickly release his military power and lead his troops back to Lu State in the name of guarding against Xi Rong. From then on, he rarely participates in major government affairs."

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance!" Chuxiu understood and quickly saluted in return.

"However, I still have two conditions. I hope that my lord can report to the emperor!" Chuxiu thought again and again, and suddenly blocked Cheng Rong's way, clasping his hands and begging.

"Your Highness still has any unfulfilled wishes, before handing over the military power, hurry up and bargain with the king!" Cheng Rong smiled happily.

"Master Cheng, the biggest treacherous minister in the court is Lu Kai, the cabinet minister. This old boy formed a clique for personal gain, seduced my mother and concubine, and acted mischievously. I hope the emperor can bring him to justice!" Chuxiu said angrily.

"Well, I advise His Highness to give up this idea. Now Lu Kai is a murder knife in the hands of the king. Killing him will definitely cause another bloody storm in the court." Cheng Rong shook his head again and again.

"Then, your lord must promise me this, that is, I want to marry the maid next to the empress, Axi!" Chuxiu suddenly lowered his voice shyly.

"What? The prince has taken a fancy to Miss Axi?" Cheng Rong suddenly smiled at Chuxiu.

"Could it be that my lord made fun of Chuxiu?" Chuxiu's face turned red for a moment.

"No, no, my fair lady, gentlemen are very good. It's better to have someone you like than not to have one. I'll go back to Beijing to match your Highness right now!" Cheng Rong couldn't help but beamed.

The evening glow in early spring, in the eyes of Chu Xiu, suddenly became extremely bright and moving.

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, when Cheng Rong came back to return to his command, Ming Gong hadn't eaten or eaten for a whole day. He stared at every courtier in the hall with his blood-red eyes.

"Your Majesty, you're done. After receiving the imperial decree, His Royal Highness the King of Lu has already handed over the military talisman and led the army back to the country of Lu." Cheng Rong saluted Ming Gong happily.

"Oh? That's great! Since the king of Lu himself has released the military power, he does not own the tens of thousands of troops in the Lu country. In my opinion, Xiu'er doesn't have to lead his troops back to the Lu country anymore. I will immediately issue a decree to call Lu Wang Jinjing, then, take the opportunity to leave him under house arrest in the capital!" Ming Gong sighed.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" At this time, Song Yan suddenly became anxious, knelt at Ming Gong's feet desperately, kowtowed and said: "My Majesty, King Lu is your own son. If you are lured into Beijing for confinement Hunting and killing will inevitably break the trust of the world, and I have lost a big arm since then, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Needless to say, this rebellious son actually wants to replace me, how can I let him go so easily?" Ming Gong's eyes widened angrily, and he raised his eyebrows.

Jianjia Palace, edified by the spring breeze and warmed by the fragrance of flowers, Baosi sat on the soft couch in a stuffy mood, accompanied by smiling girls such as Axi and Mingyue Huiyue, playing dice guessing together, when suddenly the thin curtain trembled slightly, From the outside, the elegant and quiet Mei Guiren stepped in lightly.

"Empress, I heard that in the previous dynasty, Master Cheng Rong invited the king to marry Miss Axi to His Royal Highness King Lu!" Mei Gui, who had always been reserved, said straight to the point this time without waiting for Bao Si to ask her why.

"What? King Lu wants to marry me?" Ah Xi was stunned for a moment, and blushed in front of everyone.

"Axi, you are not young anymore. It happens that King Lu is about the same age as you. I think this marriage is really good!" Bao Si Xin happily looked at the embarrassing A Xi, and pursed her lips jokingly.

"What, that kind of person, how dare I marry him?" Axi said shyly, covering his face.

"However, empress, this marriage is very likely to be an empty basket, because the king has decided to directly transfer King Lu back to the capital. I'm afraid it will be bad for King Lu!" Mei Gui worried.

"Recall King Lu back to the capital alone? Doesn't that mean that King Lu is going to be killed or imprisoned?" Bao Si was immediately surprised.

"Empress, I am worried now, whether King Lu will be summoned to Beijing, if he detects the king's motives, won't it be true!" Mei Gui said with a frown.

"It's only this time that this palace has really noticed that the people who spread rumors and slander in the capital and other places in the past were not only organized by Concubine Jiang, but the more dangerous one was Lu Kai!" Bao Si frowned, looking very surprised Enlightenment.
