On the other side of Xie Yang, after receiving the news that Xie Xun had invited him to the fiefdom, he rushed to the palace without stopping.
He was quite smart and did not directly ask Emperor Qi about Xie Xun's fiefdom.
Instead, he found an excuse, saying that his mother, Wan Concubine, was not feeling well. He first went to the harem to see Wan Concubine, and then "dropped in" to see Emperor Qi.
Xie Yang waited in front of Emperor Qi for a while and was busy. Emperor Qi approved the memorial and dismissed all the eunuchs and maids with a wave of his hand.
Then, he said meaningfully to Xie Yang, "Fourth brother, are you here to inquire about your second brother's fiefdom?"
Xie Yang pretended to be surprised.
"What? Is the second brother going to the fiefdom? I don't know the news. This is too sudden!"
Emperor Qi laughed playfully and said, "Although my father is old, he is not blind yet. The fact that your second brother invited himself to the fiefdom was told in front of the palace maids and eunuchs, so it is not a secret...
"
Xie Yang smiled respectfully and said no more.
Since Emperor Qi had already made the matter clear and was not angry with him for asking about it, he would not blame him if he thought about it.
It was inconvenient for him to speak at this moment. If Emperor Qi wanted to say something, he would speak with him.
Sure enough, when Emperor Qi saw that Xie Yang didn't ask any more questions, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't you know what your father is thinking? There are some things that your father won't tell you, so you can't ask."
Xie Yang nodded respectfully again and said: "My father's thoughts are the Holy Will. How can the Holy Will be guessed by my son?"
Emperor Qi stood up holding on to the desk and patted Xie Yang on the shoulder with some relief.
"You are more sensible than your second brother in this regard. That's all. Let me tell you. Your second brother is indeed going to invite himself to the fiefdom. I am still considering where to bestow the fiefdom."
Xie Yang asked cautiously, "Why so sudden?"
Emperor Qi sneered.
"I have seen him talk little since I was a child. I thought he was a wooden person who only knows how to fight. Unexpectedly, this time he really has a deep love for Qin Rushuang. He used this matter to exchange with me and let that person
Qian Ertong entered the court as an official."
"That's all. I am a father. How can I embarrass him over such a trivial matter? He is indeed old. Since this is his own decision, I hope he will not regret it."
Xie Yang turned his eyes and said, "It seems to me that the second brother is a little impulsive. The second brother is a good soldier in leading troops and fighting. He is the pillar of the country. Da Qi's Dinghai Shenzhen. How can he be killed because of such a small role?"
Going to a fiefdom? Wouldn’t it bury my second brother’s talent?”
"I dare you to say something, how about letting this matter go? Or you can point me to a richer fiefdom closer to the capital for my second brother? Our soldiers and horses in Da Qi all recognize my second brother. If something happens in the future...
...I still count on my second brother to lead the troops to fight."
When Emperor Qi heard this, he didn't say anything, but looked deeply at Xie Yang.
He started talking about something else.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Your second brother already has a child. Why is there no movement in your house? You should do your best to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family."
Xie Yang had just been looking at Emperor Qi's expression with his peripheral vision. When he saw the meaningful look in his eyes, he knew that Emperor Qi had listened to his words and went in. So he wisely picked up this other topic from Emperor Qi.
"I know this. I will definitely work hard to help the royal family. I will go back first and not disturb my father's rest."
After that, he said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Xie Yang was in a good mood.
The words he just said seemed to be defending Xie Xun, but in fact, every word he said was a reminder to Emperor Qi that Xie Xun could no longer stay in Kyoto.
He was reminding Emperor Qi of Xie Xun's reputation in Da Qi's army. He was also hinting to Emperor Qi that if Xie Xun's fiefdom was close, according to Xie Xun's reputation in the army, if he had any evil intentions, he would immediately
Then you can invade the capital.
He seemed to be asking Emperor Qi to give Xie Xun a good fiefdom, but in fact he wanted to push Xie Xun away!
He was telling Emperor Qi that Xie Xun had to be placed farther away, more remote, and more desolate in order to completely cut off Xie Xun's control over Qi's army.
And Emperor Tanqi's last meaningful look, of course, also listened to his suggestions.
Xiao Si, who was following Xie Yang, saw that his master was in a good mood, so he rushed up to please him and asked, "The prince is in a good mood today. He must have encountered something good."
Xie Yang frowned in distress, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
"My father urged me, saying that there has been no movement in the palace for so long. I have to work harder to give my father some grandsons. My father is old and it's time to enjoy the happiness of a family."
The young man's eyes rolled around and he quickly asked: "Which beauty will the prince go to tonight? I will go and send the message first, and let the beauties wait patiently!"
Xie Yang originally wanted to go to the beauty who he often went to recently. The beauty was presented to him by his staff. She was very sweet and had some tricks. She also gave him some fun in the boudoir.
But...
Seeing how much Emperor Qi attaches importance to Xie Xun's legitimate son, it seems that Emperor Qi still values blood origin, and it is better for his first child to be his eldest son.
Xie Yang could only regretfully tell the boy: "Let's go to the princess's place tonight."
After saying that, he made a "tsk" sound in his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "It's beautiful, but it's just like a piece of wood, boring!"
He was talking about his wife.
As a lady, we naturally do not understand those crooked ways, so we are not favored by Xie Yang.
But in order to give birth to a legitimate eldest son and please Emperor Qi, who should I sleep with?
They're all just women!
…
On this day, Emperor Qi obviously listened to what Xie Yang said to Emperor Qi.
Within a few days, he hurriedly asked the eunuchs in the palace to come to Prince Huai's palace to convey the order.
Xie Xun frowned tightly when he heard someone reported someone coming from the palace.
Why does Emperor Qi move so fast?
It seemed that it was because of the border issues that she was afraid of him.
The important matter of granting a fiefdom naturally requires the whole government to accept the decree together, so Qin Rushuang also came with the people around him.
The couple knelt down together and listened to the edict being sung by the father-in-law.
The imperial edict was written in a high-sounding way.
He first praised Xie Xun's achievements over the years, and then sympathized with his difficulties. Finally, he pretended to say that in order to let King Huai have a good rest, he had given him a quiet and rich fiefdom.
But when the name of the last letter came out, it turned out to be a very desolate place in the east——
Fuhuai.
Although Xie Xun didn't expect Emperor Qi to grant him any good fiefdom, he still felt a little chilled when he heard the word "Fuhuai".
Is it true that there is no father or son in the Tian family?
Fuhuai...
Fuhuai is the easternmost and most barren and desolate place in Daqi's territory.
If he really went to Fuhuai, he would really be far away from the court.
Moreover, the place is poor and desolate. After going there, even if he is a prince, his life will not be easy.
Thinking of this, Xie Xun turned his head and looked at Qin Rushuang, who was kneeling with him.
When Qin Rushuang heard the word "Fuhuai", there was no emotion on her face at all, as if she had already accepted this reality. No matter where the fiefdom was given, it had nothing to do with her.
Xie Xun put away his thoughts and accepted the imperial edict.
The father-in-law took the red envelope handed by the servant with a smile, and gently weighed it in his sleeve. It was a good weight, so the smile on his face deepened.
"Your Majesty feels sorry for the prince. Although the place in Fuhuai is a little far away, it is more stable and stable. There has been no war for many years. After the prince is gone, he will definitely be able to live a peaceful and enjoyable life."
"By the way, Your Majesty is grateful for King Huai's hard work over the years, so this fiefdom...the earlier the better, the better. We have set a time. After three months, we will arrive in Fuhuai from Kyoto, which is the beginning of spring.
when!"
Although this is the best thing to say, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a good place!
To say that there is no war, I am afraid that it is so poor that even the neighboring countries are unwilling to attack!
Moreover, ordinary princes would give at least half a year to a year to prepare for moving to a fiefdom, because the whole family was moving and the procedures were cumbersome. However, Emperor Qi seemed to be impatient to drive Xie Xun away, and actually decided to do this for three months.
Rushed deadlines.
It is late autumn now, and three months later, it will be winter. The journey is difficult, and we have to face wind and snow...
Even though Xie Xun no longer had any expectations for his father, he still felt even more chilled after hearing these arrangements...
