There is a kind of liquor in northern Xinjiang called a cup of throat sealing, and later His Majesty felt that it should be renamed Xinjiang Song, indicating that Northern Xinjiang played a triumphant song, and the invasion of the north is a matter of His Majesty's heart, since His Majesty led the troops at the age of sixteen, this thought has been lingering.

Your Majesty is not a great achievement, nor is he a reckless soldier, with Daning's national strength, he is not worried that it will be dragged down because of the First World War, if there is such a worry, His Majesty will carefully seal his mind, he can't go on a northern expedition, and his son, grandson, Daning will sooner or later knock out the hidden danger of the black warriors in the north.

His Majesty wants to fight because he doesn't want to leave this vicious battle to future generations.

The main hall of the palace.

The emperor looked at Li Xiaoran, who was standing in front of him, and just watched.

Li Xiaoran already had red eyes, and if he could, he wanted to rush over and strangle Li Chengtang to death now.

"I thought you still had some guts, I was waiting for you to come."

His Majesty did not leave any guards in this hall of the palace, just the two of them.

"You didn't rush over for the last stand, because you knew you couldn't beat me alone."

The emperor shook his head: "Actually, I still appreciate you, where is the descendant of the Li family?" It's just that you're too anxious, and I'll drill into such an obvious pocket...... If you are more calm, you will always have a chance when I go on the Northern Expedition in a few years. ”

He sat down and gestured to the seat next to him, "Sit down and talk, no matter what, you are also my nephew." ”

Li Xiaoran's tense nerves suddenly loosened, and then he cried out.

"I never blamed you for what happened back then, and it had nothing to do with you."

The emperor poured two cups of tea, one for himself and one for Li Xiaoran, but he knew that Li Xiaoran didn't have the courage to really sit over, nor did he have the courage to pick up this cup of tea, so the emperor sighed secretly in his heart...... If Li Xiaoran really sat down and could really pick up this cup of tea and chat with him, then the emperor might not kill him, and he would be relieved to sit down and drink a cup of tea.

"Before I came, your father wrote me a letter."

The Emperor put down his teacup: "He reminded me that you may have to work against me in the Eastern Frontier." ”

Li raised his head violently, and his blood-red eyes were suddenly full of hatred.

"Don't blame your father, he is wiser than you, he knows that he can't persuade you, and he can't beat you, so he gave up...... Over the years, he seems to be romantic, and I have also written to persuade him, and he wrote back to me saying that he was worried that one day if you really did something wrong and wanted to be cut off, he would be killed, so he was romantic, and he just wanted to have a few more children. ”

The emperor shook his head: "You two fathers and sons, the same paranoia. ”

Li Xiaoran was defeated again by this sentence, and his mentality had completely collapsed at this time.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

The emperor said in a flat tone: "If you really just want to kill me, I may spare you once in spite of the laws of the Daning Kingdom and the rules of the Li family, and it should be regarded as compensation for inadvertently hurting you back then, although I don't need to compensate you, and it is not me who hurt you...... But you shouldn't collude with pirates, nor should you collude with barbarians, use those people, and lower the identity of the Li family. ”

The Emperor waved his hand: "If you have nothing to say to me, you can go out." ”

Li Xiaoran raised his head and looked at the emperor: "It's just that the king is defeated, don't pretend to be so sanctimonious, do you think you are really stronger than me?" It's just that you sit on the emperor's throne, and everything you can use is better than me, it doesn't mean that you yourself are better than me. ”

The Emperor nodded, not even arguing.

In his opinion, there is no need.

And it was precisely because of the emperor's refutation that in Li Xiaoran's opinion, this was a greater humiliation for him.

He screamed and rushed forward a few steps, but stopped again when he was still about two meters away from the emperor, because he saw the emperor's eyes and saw the killing intent in the emperor's eyes, so he was afraid.

The emperor led the troops at the age of sixteen, how many times did he fight and charge ahead, everyone forgot that he was a general because he was the prince, and now because he is the emperor, too many people ignore why he can retreat from fighting so many times on the battlefield because of this identity?

His Majesty was on the battlefield and was never slashed by the enemy's sword.

"You get out."

The emperor sighed again: "You are no longer considered the Li family." ”

Li Xiaoran turned around slowly and walked out of the hall in despair.

"What your father said in the last sentence of his letter to me was...... Although he can't help it, he still wants to ask me to let you live, even if it is a broken limb or a stupid beating, because the child he loves the most is always you, and he will raise you if you are crippled. ”

Li Xiaoran's footsteps stopped, and suddenly screamed, and then rushed out of the hall, hitting his head on the pillar.

The emperor glanced outside the hall, slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, ordered: "Send the ashes to the Xinwang Mansion, tell the Xinwang that I will not implicate his family, and pass Shen Leng in." ”

Dai Fangzhou, who was guarding the door, hurriedly answered, and cautiously glanced at His Majesty's face, but there was nothing he could do.

Where have there been outsiders who have rebelled within Daning, and the only few disputes since the founding of the country are still disputes within the imperial family, which is actually a bit sad for the imperial family.

After a while, Shen Leng came in from outside, and it looked like he had taken a shower and changed his clothes, and the inside of his clothes was bulging, which should have just been bandaged.

"Why jump on it?"

The emperor asked with his eyes closed.

Shen Leng was stunned: "Where to jump?" ”

The emperor raised his hand and pointed upwards: "In Yongchangtai on Qining Island, why did you jump to the top?" ”

Shen sneered, raised his hand and scratched his head, but did not answer.

Mr. Shen said that to be warm, to repay those who are kind to themselves, Mr. Shen also said that a person who is sincere to you must be sincere to the opposite, Mr. Shen also said that life in the world is worthy of the heart, nothing more than the heart of the heart.

His Majesty treats Shen Leng well, and Shen Leng wants to repay His Majesty.

It's as simple as that.

"Everyone else asks for merit and rewards, but you don't say anything when I give you a chance?"

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Shen Leng's bulging shoulders: "How is the injury?" ”

Shen Leng: "It's nothing, flesh wounds." ”

The emperor snorted: "Even if you don't say it, you know that if you stand on a high place, you can block the thieves rushing up from below, and second, attract the attention of those thieves, so that they only care about you, and want to chop you up, so they ignore me." ”

Shen Leng smiled again, a little embarrassed.

"Shen Xiaosong taught a good apprentice."

The emperor closed his eyes again: "You blocked that arrow for Pei Tingshan, is it because of Meng Changan?" ”

The emperor wanted to know a definite answer, and if Shen Leng was really for Meng Chang'an, the emperor had to remind him a few words.

"It's not."

Shen Leng replied: "At that time, where are there so many thoughts, and those who stand beside the minister are comrades, so they naturally have to block it." ”

"Those standing around are compatriots."

The Emperor muttered to himself, and before he knew it, a smile on his lips.

This is the Shen Leng he likes, this is the reason why he likes Shen Leng, not a person who is also scheming on the battlefield.

"I heard that Zhuang Yong gave you a piece of soft armor that was ripped off Prince Qiuli in Southern Xinjiang?"

"The minister gave it away."

"I know."

The emperor pointed to the table opposite: "There is a piece of soft armor there, which has been sitting for about thirty years...... Reward you, don't be too old. ”

Shen sneered and walked forward: "No, no, how can you still dislike this and that, the minister doesn't dislike anything, Your Majesty can also reward some if you still have silver that has not been used for thirty years." ”

The emperor snorted and laughed, it's not that he is not dignified now, how can the emperor not be dignified, the court naturally has to practice the majesty of a straight face in the face of civil and military officials, unless he really can't help it.

Shen Leng actually didn't react for a while, the emperor said that it was a soft armor that had been put for thirty years, who else could it be, it could only be the one that His Majesty wore when he was in the war, and if it was passed out, I don't know how many people would be envious of death, that was a great honor, even if it was the general of the Four Frontiers, which one had received such a reward from His Majesty?

It's not that this soft armor is worth much, and it's not made up by gold threads, but the meaning.

"Why do you want so much silver?"

The Emperor raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his brow.

Shen Leng picked up the box and returned to the position just now: "Chen wants to save money and buy a hill in the future, build a yard, and let Mr. Shen retire...... The yard should be big enough to grow vegetables, raise pigs, raise sheep, and raise big white. ”

"What is the big white raised?"

"Big White...... Goose. ”

The emperor was a little confused: "When I gave you a title, didn't I tell you that there was a fiefdom of food?" ”

Shen Leng was also confused: "Is there any?" ”

The emperor sighed: "You may be the marquis with the greatest heart since the founding of Daning." ”

Shen Leng smiled wryly, and thought about it carefully, did His Majesty really say it when he was a marquis last time? Or have you been fighting outside and forgotten about it.......

The emperor was silent for a while, and suddenly reacted to something: "The beads I gave you last time can be sold casually, and it is not a problem to buy a piece of land. ”

Shen Leng: "That's not good, the minister has to make a Xia Pi for Cha'er." ”

Emperor: "......"

He was silent for a while and then said, "I don't have any silver in my hands that I haven't used for thirty years, and the silver I seized from the pirates of Haifutu this time, and bringing three thousand taels out of it is considered a reward for you, three thousand taels is not less." ”

Shen Leng hurriedly saluted again, and then remembered one thing: "The minister is guilty." ”

"You mean to bring the pirate Red Eleven Niang into Yongchangtai on Qining Island without permission?"

"Yes."

"It's really not good, whether she is a pirate who kills pirates, or what kind of pirate, pirates are pirates, you know that there were not many people around me to protect me at that time, but I still brought her with me privately, I can't excuse you, so many people are watching, if I pretend to turn a blind eye, then Daning's justice is unfair, it is my injustice."

Shen Leng lowered his head: "Please punish Your Majesty." ”

The emperor thought for a moment: "Have you been detained by me for ten years?" ”

Shen Leng: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Emperor: "It's a bit inappropriate to deduct it again. ”

Shen Leng was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Emperor: "Just fine three thousand taels of silver." ”

Shen Leng: "......"
