The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 588 I've Always Known It! (2)
"Yeah!" Chu Xunyang regained his energy now, and said with a sneer, "It's also because these two people are hiding very deeply, otherwise if something happened to them, the people they left would have already taken action against us." It’s convenient for us to act.”

No one knew that Huo Gang and Chu Xin had ulterior motives. For so many years, one of them was a loyal and upright general who led troops outside without fear of hardships, and the other was a low-key and central prince with the best reputation in the court.The two of them worked hand in hand, and if they said it out of the blue, no one would believe it.

Thinking about it, Chu Xunyang couldn't help laughing, "Taking advantage of the prestige that my brother has built up in the army in this battle is a good opportunity for us to win contacts. For those positions that are missing, the imperial court must issue an imperial edict later. Appointment counts, but it is estimated that after the candidate is confirmed over there, it will take half a month before the imperial decree arrives in Chuzhou. Brother, let's find a few suitable people to take up the position first. The connections are all connected, even if His Majesty sends a new head coach and generals from the capital to continue their posts - what is the use of a few capital officials who have no foundation and high-sightedness and low-handedness? They just take up a vacant seat."

"Well, you don't have to worry about this, I have already handed over the list to Zeng Qi before I came out." Chu Qifeng nodded, seeing that it was getting late, the two speeded up and rode back to camp.

Chuzhou won a big victory.

Completely defeated the enemy's 2 army with a slight loss overnight, cut off more than [-] heads of rebels, and captured nearly [-] prisoners.

The good news was sent back to Beijing urgently within [-] miles, and submitted to the emperor's royal case.

The common people were praising everyone for being uplifting, but above the court, under the solemn face of the elderly emperor, it was obvious that the fire was suppressed.

It's not that he doesn't want to win, but——

Chu Qifeng's attack this time was too ruthless, and he didn't leave any room for it. He knew that he and the Emperor Nanhua had used checks and balances to maintain a balance on the Chuzhou battlefield these years, and it was obvious——

Chu Qifeng's move completely broke this balance.

Nanhua's [-] troops were annihilated, not only that, but the sixth prince was taken back to Beijing as a spoil of war.

On the surface, it seems like a rare happy event, but there must be a lot of troubles in the future, not to mention that Chu Qifeng also advocated on his own, and has sent a note to the Emperor of Nanhua, requesting that the city of Changshui County be exchanged for the sixth prince. Return home safely.

Such a request is a great provocation to Nanhua!

No matter how meek and soft the Emperor Nanhua's personality was, he would not take this lightly.

The courtiers are also very shrewd, Chu Qifeng is young and frivolous, they are not, while proudly praising "Kangjun Wang is young and promising is the blessing of the country", while holding the scale, paying close attention to the emperor's face, He didn't dare to show off at all.

Come down from morning.

Li Ruixiang supported the emperor's hand and went back to the imperial study room. After entering the door, the emperor's face darkened immediately, he slapped the table fiercely, and angrily said: "I don't know the seriousness! I don't know what the matter is! After reading a few military books, he will be a Are you invincible? You don’t pay attention to the slightest measure! Right now, the northern border has not been completely pacified, and the fighting in the south has just stopped. Now the people are dazzled by the momentary good news. If the Nanhua people retaliate later, it will be a big deal Trouble!"

The emperor scolded hoarsely, but Chu Yi'an didn't even hear about it that day.

What can he say?At that time, he was the one who called Chu Qifeng to go to Chuzhou, and he didn't give a standard for handling the matter there in advance. Now Chu Qifeng is winning the battle again with arrogance, which really makes him suffer.

"Your Majesty, the King of Kang County is originally inexperienced, and it is related to the Master of Xunyang County. It is reasonable for him to go to extremes in anger. Anyway, everything has happened, no matter how harsh you are on him. It doesn't help the matter, the top priority now—" Li Ruixiang said, reminding cautiously, "It is said that this battle is also counted in our army, and Prince Rui's accident happened again, even the position of the commander is also vacant Come down, it is necessary to quickly consider suitable candidates to make up."

"Qifeng has set off to go back?" the emperor asked.

"Yes!" Li Ruixiang replied, "If it's quick, he should be able to arrive in Beijing in three days. At the moment, the military affairs over there will be temporarily handled by the governor of Chuzhou. It’s just a person of literati background, it’s okay to say that it’s safe to say now, if the South Chinese come to commit crimes later, I’m afraid the situation will not be optimistic.”

After the emperor returned to the case, he pinched the center of his brows irritably, "Then who do you think can take up this role in the court now? The crown prince? Huo Gang? Or Su Yi?"

These three people have extraordinary attainments in marching and fighting, but——

Chu Yi'an is the prince. Before he officially passed on the throne, the emperor could relax his power and let him participate in the decision-making of military affairs, but he would not hand over the actual military power to him.

And Su Yi?
Not to mention!

On the contrary, Huo Gang, Luo Yi's affairs have passed for so long. He kidnapped the other party's position and imprisoned him in the capital. Huo Gang cooperated very well from the beginning to the end. dissatisfaction and resistance.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was a little loose, Li Ruixiang didn't say much.

The emperor closed his eyes and weighed it for a while, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow, let him go to court!"

"Yes!" Li Ruixiang agreed without further words.

Chu Qifeng, Chu Xunyang and his party came back half a day earlier than Li Ruixiang estimated, and arrived in the capital at noon on the third day after that.

When the two of them were on their way early this morning, they changed into their court clothes first, and after entering the city, they took the sixth prince of Nanhua directly to the palace to face the saint.

The emperor didn't see the sixth prince, but Li Ruixiang took him down to settle down.

At that time, there were Chu Yi'an and Huo Gang who were temporarily announced into the palace by the emperor in the emperor's imperial study.

"Qifeng and Xunyang have seen Your Majesty!" The two went in and saluted the emperor behind the case. After the emperor called out, he turned to Chu Yi'an and saluted, "Father!"

"En!" Chu Yi'an responded lightly, but slowly drank his tea gracefully, as if his trip here was just a foil.

Huo Gang next to him was staring down at the gold bricks under his feet, and after saluting the two of them, he didn't say much.

The emperor personally confirmed the situation in Chuzhou City from Chu Qifeng as a matter of routine. Chu Xunyang stood by the side as nothing to do with himself, and never looked at Huo Gang from the beginning to the end.

Huo Gang lowered his brows and eyes, and he didn't seem to be looking sideways, as if both of them were just ordinary people who had nothing to do with each other.

After the emperor was poisoned, even if he was hanged with elixir, his current physical condition is not as good as before, and he didn't say much to Chu Qifeng. He only nodded in satisfaction after listening to his statement in silence: "This trip Both you and Qi Yan have done a good job, I will reward you for your merits and hold a banquet for you to celebrate your achievements."
