The Submissive Emperor

Xiao Chengjun ignored him and walked out of the house to meet General Zhengnan.

Xu Che was wearing a strong outfit, and he was standing under the lychee tree in the middle of the yard with a horse, watching the fruit on the tree, not knowing what he was thinking.

"How good is the general?" Xiao Chengjun asked loudly.

Xu Che turned around, not as cold as when he first met in Beijing, and revealed a hearty and bright smile, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Min."

The two met with each other without being overly polite and grand, and there was a touch of affection in the respect that seemed like nothing.

Xu Che took a closer look at the current King of Min, and felt that he looked much more cheerful now than in Beijing, like an eagle trapped in a cage, finally got a piece of sky, soared, and couldn't help but nod secretly. My nephew, who was not a good boy, had to marry someone, so my eldest brother made a speech, let him take a good look at each other, and don't let the nephew suffer.

"Uncle—" The original elegant atmosphere was destroyed by this yelling cry. Xu Che gave a dry cough, frowned and looked at the black shadow that threw out of the room, raised his hand to catch it, and pressed it in his arms. Rubbed vigorously.

Lou Jing's neatly combed head was once again rubbed into a chicken coop by his second uncle, and he hurriedly struggled to hide next to his husband, slashing his hair.

"It's hot outside, let's go in and talk." Xiao Chengjun smiled slightly and raised his hand to guide Xu Che into the house.

"This horse can be watched carefully for me." Facing the servant who came to lead the horse, Xu Che touched his precious horse with some worry.

Lou Jing glanced at the black black, "Uncle, why did you bring Er Shao?" Even Ma, who looked a little stupid, raised his chin towards Yun Wu who was not far away.

In fact, Yun Wu brought up the "two silly".

"What a fool, it's Hei Sha." Xu Che glared at his nonsense nephew. Hearing Yun Wu said that he should feed this horse with Lou Jing's sweaty BMW, and then he relieved himself and followed the King of Fujian into the house. .

"As soon as it gets hot, those barbarians will be honest. I'll see if there is anything you can do to help." Xu Che took a sip of the sour plum soup, and Shao Shao relieved the heat that came along the way.

Xu Che's eyes are similar to those of Lou Jing, both of them are a pair of cold star eyes with vigor, but years of experience on the battlefield have made the man's eyes a bit more suspicious.

The husband and wife looked at each other. This is really a good thing in the snow. You must know that General Zhengnan has fought for nearly 20 years, and it is no problem to calm the ground in Minzhou.

"In this way, I really have something to trouble the general, but..." Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly. General Zhengnan was guarding Lingnan. He had always attacked Nanban, and now he came to Minzhou, fearing disaster for the Xu family.

"The second uncle came just right. Those little Japanese dwarfs have already begun to invade the southeast. I have to go back to Jiangzhou. There is no general in Minzhou, and with the General Zhengnan, I am not afraid that I can't beat them." Lou Jing comforted and sneaked. The back waist of King Min said with a smile.

Hearing that there was a battle to be fought, Xu Che immediately came to the spirit, "Okay, I happened to be in a panic when I was idle. I was thinking about helping you brew wine, but I didn't expect to be able to fight again."

Xiao Chengjun was a little surprised, someone likes to fight?

However, it was said that Xiao Chengjin had moved into Fengyi Palace, and Emperor Chunde did not stop him. For a while, there were speculations in the court that these two princes were actually the crown prince candidates that the emperor really wanted. They were hidden in the early years, but they were actually to protect him. .

Concubine Chen Gui was so angry that she cut off a few nails and worked so hard for so long to make wedding clothes for others. "Why forgot about this disease? Didn't he say that he would not survive the winter?"

The imperial physician who routinely diagnosed the imperial concubine's Ping pulse, quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and tremblingly said: "The empress is relieved of her anger. The imperial physician of the imperial hospital has taken turns to diagnose and treat the king of Jing. It is obviously that the pulse is exhausted. The old minister suddenly regained his energy without knowing how."

In fact, the imperial doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital have also discussed this matter. In fact, being stuck in the heart can also lead to pulse failure. Perhaps the second prince suddenly wanted to open it, and his body would heal? The explanation couldn't make sense, and the queen severely reprimanded them. They were not allowed to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine to King Jing during these days, so it was still unknown what was going on.

In Fengyi Palace, Ji Jue still got up early to practice the sword, one practice lasted all morning.

Sitting in the pavilion, Xiao Chengjin set up a chessboard to play against him, and the awake emperor grandson ran over on the ground, leaning on the stone table with curiosity.

"Daddy!" Xiao Qirui grabbed a chess piece and shook it. The chubby little hand turned into a small steamed bun, and he was about to stuff it into his mouth.

The nurse hurriedly stopped and put the chess piece back to its original place.

Xiao Chengjin didn't feel annoyed, glanced at the chubby ball, and continued to play chess.

Ji Juo put away the sword, threw the sword to the eunuch, and picked up Xiao Qirui, "Rui'er is awake, are you hungry?"

"Grandpa!" Xiao Qirui giggled, and put his arms around Queen Ji's neck.

"Hahaha..." Ji Zhuo patted his little butt, sat down holding the little guy, and looked at Xiao Chengjin, who had a good complexion, with a deeper smile on his face, "Now that you are in good shape, it is better to follow me. Practicing swords to keep fit."

Xiao Chengjin's hand holding the chess piece froze for a while, then smiled again and said, "My son is so old, how can I learn it?"

"It's not to practice internal martial arts, it's not too late to be a few years old," Ji Zhuo looked down at Xiao Qirui, who was sitting obediently in his arms and playing chess pieces, "Rui Er said, right?"

"Gluck..." Xiao Qirui raised her face and smiled, not knowing if she understood it.

"Stupid boy, you know to laugh." Reaching out his hand and poking at the soft little face, Ji Zhuo looked at Xiao Chengjin again, his majestic eagle staring at His Royal Highness Jing Wang who was trying to fool him.

"Uh, this art industry has a specialization. The essence of my son is used to grow wisdom. In swordsmanship, he is destined to have no accomplishments." Xiao Chengjin smiled dryly. Since childhood, he has been afraid of practicing swords. Being lazy, his brother felt sorry for him, and he would also help him persuade his father and queen, to the point that he has learned a few basic postures, and he has a headache when it comes to practicing swordsmanship.

"Overalls?" Xiao Qirui tilted her head. He didn't understand what Dad said about "achievements", so he read, "Overalls, overalls!" He said that he was happy, clapping his hands and starting to laugh again.

Ji Zhuo had nothing to do with the stubborn father and son, so he sighed and asked the palace man to bring a pot of lychee wine.

This wine came as a tribute from the south, and the altar given by Lou Jing had long been drunk. Emperor Ji held a white jade cup at the back and took a sip. He felt that the tribute was not as good as the original altar. He couldn't help but sighed, "Chengjin, next time you write to Minzhou, remember to ask Chengjun to give some. Here comes the lychee wine."

On the other side, Lou Jing in Minwang's Mansion was being instructed to do hard work by his uncle.

"Uncle, how much have you brewed in Pingjianghou's Mansion? Why are you still brewing here?" Lou Jing looked at the pile of lychees in front of him, crying without tears, and he wanted to accompany his husband Jun to take a nap with sandals. I don't want to make wine with my uncle at all!

"The group of drunkards at home, I can't make enough of them to drink," Xu Che snorted, and continued to stuff the pitted lychee meat into the jar. …Send some to the palace and talk about filial piety."

Lou Jing remembered that his husband and queen seemed to like this lychee wine very much. The second uncle's brew was indeed better than the ones sold, so he reluctantly nodded and squatted down to help his second uncle.

In mid-July, the Japanese pirates began to invade aggressively. Xu Che led his troops to encircle and suppress Nanban. He was used to fighting Nanban. Suddenly coming to fight the Japanese pirates made him very uncomfortable, but he was more fresh and excited.

The Japanese pirates are like weeds on the seabed. They can't be removed no matter how they are removed. They have been hit this year and will come again next year. After fighting for so many years in Jingnan, Xiao Chengjun didn't wipe out the Japanese pirates. Xiao Chengjun felt that there must be another reason for this, so he called General Cheng for questioning.

But it turns out that for those Dongying people who come to do business, also known as Japanese pirates, Jingnan Hou knows that livelihoods along the coast are not easy, and they turn a blind eye to these people. These people also donate a lot of money every year. , And those who burned, killed, and looted were the pirates of Dongying, following the businessmen.

"Those pirates, why don't they grab those Dongying merchants?" Xiao Chengjun frowned. Those things from overseas can be sold at a high price if they are shipped out of Minzhou. Dongying merchants must have a lot of money in their hands.

"It is said that those merchants are the honors of Dongying, and the pirates can't afford to provoke them. Moreover, they come here in exchange for goods and do not bring gold or silver with them. The pirates want those goods and they dare not sell them when they go to Dongying. "General Cheng said.

"It's all about it." Lou Jing, who rushed back from Jiangzhou, just heard this and couldn't help laughing.

"The Jiangzhou issue is resolved?" Xiao Chengjun waved his hand to let General Cheng go down, got up and touched Lou Jing's sweaty forehead.

"I've hit another county," Lou Jing greedily rubbed his face against the bunny-like palm of the bunny. "The old man, Lu Xin, refused to give me food and grass. In a few days I will go from Yuezhou to the north. Four counties went to see him, but I didn't believe that old boy would dare not give it."

Xiao Chengjun shook his head and chuckled, and asked someone to take a cloth towel to wipe Lou Jing's sweat, "You just said, what is it?"

"Those dwarf merchants and dwarf pirates were originally in the same group," Lou Jing sneered. "The sea is difficult and dangerous. Those merchants hired pirates to **** them, but they didn't restrain them." A few days ago, he went to fight against the pirates with his second uncle. It can be seen that those people are basically a group, regardless of each other.

When Xiao Chengjun heard this, his face also became cold. Could it be that Jingnan Hou had been sheltering Japanese pirates? This is obviously impossible. The number of Japanese pirates killed in Jingnan in recent years is as many as one city. This is not to be done.

The ban on seas has cut off the lives of many coastal people. The Ji family must have pity for the people and allowed them to do business with the Dongying people, but for those pirates, it is relentless to see one and kill one. This is also a helpless move. If you can do business honestly, why bother to spend all these troubles?

"It's not a wise move to ban the sea." Xiao Chengjun sighed and had the intention to do business with the Gentiles. However, there is the law before them, so they can only be expelled as Japanese pirates. However, if they are treated as Japanese pirates, those businessmen will have to hire them. Pirates came to protect themselves, and it was difficult for pirates to restrain, which led to the situation today.

"Those dwarfs are also extremely hateful," Lou Jing snorted coldly, and suddenly changed the conversation. "However, there is no reason why people don't want to send the money to the door?"

"Huh?" Xiao Chengjun looked at him suspiciously.

"In my opinion, your Highness might as well take the business and do it yourself." Lou Jing smiled mysteriously.
