Fight the Giants

  Chapter 642 Emperor Heart

  Emperor Yongkang bestowed a seat, and Huo Xi went up to help Zhang Fu, who was still wandering, up.

  Zhang Fu glanced at her, Huo Xi also looked at him, the father and daughter looked at each other, and sat down carefully. Huo Nian also sat down next to his sister.

   I don't know if it's a newborn calf or what, Huo Nian was as calm as his sister to the emperor's arrival, which made Emperor Yongkang couldn't help but look at the siblings a few more times.

  I did it on a whim. When I came in, no one in the hall knew it. It was impossible for the siblings to know that he was there.

  Nodding in my heart, I appreciate it very much.

  Compared to the calmness of the Huo Xi siblings, even Zhang Fu was a little panicked, let alone Mrs. Tai and Zhang Biyao.

  Zhang Biyao couldn't even sit on one-third of the stools, and couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes. She already knew that her mother might really be doomed, and there would be no chance of turning around.

  If only the internal affairs of the Zhang family are fine, but there is also the matter of She County, regardless of the facts or not, it is impossible for the government to let the mother be taken away for investigation.

  No matter how much the emperor valued his father, he couldn't cover it up.

  Zhang Biyao closed her eyes, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

  Huo Xi glanced at her and sighed.

  Mu Yan stood behind the emperor, seeing her like this, frowned. This girl is still soft-hearted, and against the enemy, she needs to know the principle of endless cutting and rebirth when the spring breeze blows.

  After everyone was seated, no one dared to look at the emperor, but Emperor Yongkang watched everyone's expressions with great interest.

   "Aiqing, is it okay?"

Zhang Fuzheng fearfully said: "Thank you for your concern, I have improved. Because of my minister, it is my fault that I made your majesty work hard, and I deserve death. If your majesty leaves the inner palace privately, if... the minister and his family go to death, it will be difficult." Let go of the blame."

   "Love Qing is serious. You have made countless contributions to my David. You have worked hard with two generations of your father to keep my David safe. You have been born and died several times. I must come to visit once or twice."

   Isn't that what she said just now? Unexpectedly, the emperor remembered it.

  Huo Xi was a little ashamed, stood up and pleaded guilty: "My daughter made a mistake in her words, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Hahaha…"

  Emperor Yongkang laughed: "What is the crime? Could it be that what you just said is wrong? Your grandfather, your father didn't make great military exploits for me, David?"

  Only then did Zhang Fu realize that the words were spoken by Nanna, and he couldn't help but glance at her with a gratified smile on his face. Nannan still remembered her grandfather.

Emperor Yongkang asked Huo Xi to stand up and sit down, and said with some nostalgia: "I still remember your grandfather's voice and appearance. In the Battle of Dongchang, your grandfather broke into the enemy's formation in order to save me, and fought until the last moment. To die in battle...I am deeply saddened."

   Mrs. Zhang Futai and others hurriedly knelt down again: "I am panicked."

   "Get up." Emperor Yongkang propped himself up on his seat and asked everyone to stand up.

"Nowadays, the grassland tribes such as the Tatars and Wala in the north still want to retreat, and they look down on me. The southeast coast has Japanese people harassing the border, and the southwest border is also unstable from time to time. The country still needs a general like Qing. See Qing Good job, I am so relieved."

   "The minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty."

"Very good."

   In front of Huo Xi and others, the two monarchs and ministers talked about state affairs, talked about the Northern Expedition, and said that they would train sailors to relieve the suffering of the people in the southeast.

   Completely forgot what happened just now.

   Mrs. Tai glanced at Huo Xi quietly, wondering in her heart, when did the emperor come? Did it come from the beginning, or did it come later? How much have you heard?

   Was this girl invited?

   No, no, she doesn't have such great ability yet.

  But, how did she know that the emperor was behind the tent? What she did just now was for the emperor to see?

  Huo Xi saw Mrs. Tai watching her from the corner of her eye, but she didn't look away once. He only looked down at the floor tiles in the hall, and didn't look around. The Emperor and Zhang Fu didn't seem to be paying attention to what they said.

  Emperor Yongkang paid attention to Huo Xi and Huo Nian while talking to Zhang Fu. He nodded secretly in his heart.

  The crown prince elected by the British public is very good. Given time, he will be able to support the lintel of the Duke's Mansion and advance to another level. Looking at his sister again, she is even better than her.

  It's a pity that he doesn't have many sons.

  Grandson, the eldest grandson of the emperor is only thirteen years old, what a pity. Otherwise, if you tie the British Duke to your own boat, are you afraid that he will not do his best? Looking at Zhang Biyao next to him, he shook his head.

   "My lord, is your leg injured?" He looked at Huo Nian.

  Huo Nian got up and was about to answer when Emperor Yongkang pressed his hand, "Sit down and answer, there is no need to be polite."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty. When you return to Your Majesty, the boy is already well. After a few more days of raising him, he will be able to practice martial arts with his father."

   "Oh?" Emperor Yongkang was very happy, "What can I learn from your father?"

   "Back to the emperor, my father taught the boy how to ride and shoot, spear, sword and halberd and broadsword. The boy likes to read military books, and the father analyzes the past battles for the boy. The boy likes to listen to these."

   "Oh? Do you still like reading military books?"

  Emperor Yongkang was overjoyed. He glanced at Zhang Fu and saw that he was smiling faintly, without explaining to his son. It seemed that the kid was telling the truth and not exaggerating, so he approved it in his heart.

  He himself is a man who can fight. He heard that the kid likes to read military books and listen to the analysis of battle cases, so he asked, "Did you know about the Battle of Dongchang?"

  Huo Nian nodded, and his father talked about the battle of Dongchang in the first battle. His grandfather was defeated in the battle of Dongchang, which made him miss the chance to meet him. Huo Nian listened very carefully at that time.

   "We fought very hard in the Battle of Dongchang, and even cost your grandfather his life. The Southern Army said this was Jingnan's first great victory..."

  Emperor Yongkang thought of this battle, but he still had a lot of regrets in his heart, "Tell me, boy, why did the southern army win and our army lose in this battle? If you are the commander in chief, how will you arrange it?"

  Huo Nian glanced at Zhang Fu, and was encouraged by him, and he settled down.

   "Returning to the emperor, the southern army has several times the strength of our army, and has advanced firearms... But our army has elite cavalry, which is inferior to the southern army..."

  Emperor Yongkang nodded while listening, and glanced at Zhang Fu from time to time.

   Zhang Fu knew Emperor Yongkang well, and he could see the emperor's approval of Nian'er, so Zhang Fu was very happy.

  Which father would be unhappy to see others praise his child? But his face remained calm.

   After hearing what Huo Nian said, Emperor Yongkang clapped his hands and applauded: "Good! You have the style of your father and grandfather. Given time, you will be better than blue!"

  Looking at Zhang Fu: "This is my young star in the future, Aiqing needs to teach her carefully, and don't make any mistakes."

   Zhang Fu didn't know how, so he bowed his hands: "The minister will not disgrace the mission."

  Huo Nian was a little shy when he heard the emperor praised him, and glanced at his sister. Huo Xi smiled at him.

When Emperor Yongkang saw it, he smiled at Huo Xi and said, "You girl, it is a great credit to you to raise your brother well. The imperial concubine is lonely in the inner palace, so I will send you a palace card later, but Go in and out of the inner palace at any time. If you have free time, take your brother with you and visit the imperial concubine more often, she is happy to see you."

   "Yes, the courtier has recorded it."

  Yongkang said no more, got up and prepared to leave.
