Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 225 The emperor's tricks, leaving the capital
Seeing that Ruan Hongwei brought up the topic of border wars by himself, Xiahou Zhu raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Just now what he actually wanted to talk about was this matter, but he suddenly ordered Ruan Hongwei to leave the capital to guard the border.Its origins are already arousing suspicion, and if I mention it again at this time, I am afraid it will even make people more suspicious.

Therefore, he looked left and said that it involved Ruan Jing, and its purpose was to deliberately force Ruan Hongwei to raise the matter himself.

"Oh? What do you think of General Ruan? Even if you say it, I and all my lovers will listen to it."

"My minister thought that the small border country has been stable for many years. There must be a reason for the sudden attack this time."

Ruan Hongwei straightened his expression, and replied with a serious expression, "If the countries had not sincerely surrendered to our North County for many years, I am afraid that they would not have been stable for many years, and suddenly launched an attack at this time. Or, this time, someone deliberately provoked it. War."

Xiahou Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Ruan Hongwei with a guilty expression.

When you think of yourself as the emperor, who are you afraid of?

He coughed twice, deliberately picked up a memorial in front of him, and said solemnly, "General Ruan is right! It makes sense. Since the border is too far away from the capital, I don't know the details. In order to avoid war Spreading, involving innocent people, that's why I let General Ruan guard the border!"

Xiahou Zhu took a meaningful look at Ruan Hongwei, "I have long heard that Ruan Ke, the second son of General Ruan, is also a hero who is brave and good at fighting. It is said that he is currently serving as the commander-in-chief of the battalion. , wiped out the bandit den that has been rampant for many years, but has never been taken down."

"Really, a hero is a boy, but a tiger father has no sons! In the future, Ruan Ke's future is limitless!"

Xiahou Zhu praised sincerely, with a satisfied smile on his face, "In this case, I will designate Ruan Ke as a third-rank general in the army! Two days later, I will set off with General Ruan and rush to the border."

"General Ruan, what do you think?"

Ruan Hongwei's face changed drastically, and he quickly declined, "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Not to mention that the dog is young and cannot bear such a heavy burden, even if the dog has no experience in marching and fighting, he can't...can't convince the crowd! Please take it back, Your Majesty."

joke!If Ruan Ke really became a general of the third rank so easily, I don't know how many people behind him will make irresponsible remarks.Even secretly tripping them up.

He could clearly see that Xiahou Zhu reached out to pick up the memorial, which was obviously held upside down, which was enough to show that Xiahou Zhu was either absent-minded today, or had other plans.

He has to be more careful.

Being rejected by Ruan Hongwei so directly, Xiahou Zhu's face was slightly ugly, and he put the memorial in his hand on the table, and then forced a smile, and said with a smile, "Hey, General Ruan, don't worry! Your The eldest son is now nearly 21 years old, and the second son is also nineteen years old. It is not unreasonable for both of them to have official official titles, and besides, they are not married yet, right?"

There are still many princesses in this palace, just giving your Ruan Mansion a marriage is enough for you to have a headache.

At that time, I want to see, no matter how important Xiahou Yin is, you will care about it.With me, and my princesses and sisters, which side can you help then?

"emperor……"

Ruan Hongwei was already sweating profusely. At this moment, he was sure that Xiahou Zhu really had no good intentions.

"Your Majesty, I think about the war at the border, I can take my second son Ruan Ke to the border. First, let him hone his temper, and second, learn a lot."

Xiahou Zhu asked about whether he was married or not, he didn't dare to answer casually, if he was not careful, he would get himself involved.

So, after thinking about it, Ruan Hongwei changed the topic back to the border war.

Xiahou Zhu nodded in response, feeling very satisfied in his heart, "Since General Ruan said so, how can I not agree? I will immediately decree that Ruan Ke will be a third-rank general with the army, and let Ruan Ke enter the palace to receive the order Thank you!"

It seems that this matter has been set in stone and cannot be changed.

Ruan Hongwei resigned himself to his fate and thanked him first, before returning to his seat.

After the morning court, Ruan Hongwei went back to the mansion and explained some things to Ruan Ke, and then let him enter the palace to thank him.The matter of leaving the capital is imminent, time is running out, and there are some things that need to be done quickly.

The first thing to do is to clear some obstacles in the backyard.

Ruan Hongwei was angry when he learned that the Xu family hadn't collected a few 10 taels of silver, and completely shut Xu's family in Qingqiu Yuan.Before he returns to Beijing, Mrs. Xu cannot be let out. Zhou Bo, who disobeys the order, can directly decide whether to kill him or sell him;
Ruan Kang went to the scholar's mansion to study with Guan Kai, a cabinet scholar, and he could only return to his mansion once a month;
After Ruan Jing recovered from her injuries, Ruan Hongwei received the news and would arrange for someone to report to the emperor and take her into the palace.However, the premise is that Ruan Jing can no longer oppose Ruan Eryue. If Ruan Hongwei finds out, he will never intervene if Ruan Jing is left to fend for herself in the palace in the future.

Being threatened so seriously by Ruan Hongwei, thinking of those powerful women in the palace, Ruan Jing had no choice but to bow her head and write a promise;

And Mrs. Ruan, because of her age, is Ruan Hongwei's old lady.Therefore, as a son, Ruan Hongwei, it is inconvenient to restrain her, he just orders her to serve her well;

Aunt Liu is still the housekeeper, and Aunt Qian also stays in her yard peacefully. If someone dares to do anything wrong, don't blame him for not remembering the past!

After the family meeting, Ruan Hongwei went to Prince Jing's Mansion and Shen Mansion in person.

Two days later, Ruan Hongwei and Ruan Ke led a mighty army of 30 to remove the city gate.Xiahou Zhu personally delivered it to the gate of the city and smiled with satisfaction when he saw the army go away with his own eyes.

If Ruan Hongwei was transferred away from the capital, no one in the capital would have anything to do with Xiahou Yin anymore.If he wants to do something, no one will meddle in his own business anymore.

Of course, subconsciously, Xiahou Zhu believed that if he made things difficult for Xiahou Yin, Shun and Mrs. Tai and Shen Fu would all stand by his side and would not help Xiahou Yin to fight against him.

God knows, during this period of time, Xiahou Yin became more and more rampant in front of him, which made him almost unbearable!

However, in this world, there are many things that Xiahou Zhu doesn't know.

For example, Mrs. Shun and Mrs. Tai are Ruan Eryue's biological mother, and even treat Xiahou Yin as her own son.And he, Xiahou Zhu, is just a person who has a bit of pity and love after Shun and Mrs. Tai once rescued him.

As for Duke Wen's mansion, Su Yu can be regarded as the one who can call the shots... There are even relationships between other mansions and Prince Jing's mansion that Xiahou Zhu doesn't know about.
