Xiao Yao fell ill after returning from Qinzheng Hall that day.
He was already in good health, but now that he was frightened by Xiao Chengye, he immediately broke his guard and became ill when he returned home.
Once he fell ill, many things went wrong.
Especially Xiao Jue who is far away in the imperial mausoleum.
Xiao Jue was restless in the imperial mausoleum, and even dreamed of returning to the court. In his opinion, Xiao Yao was his pawn, and everything Xiao Yao was doing now was to prepare for his return.
Xiao Yao, on the other hand, has always shown that he cares about his eldest brother.
And Xiao Yao fell, and the marriage with Nanjiang failed, which made Xiao Jue a little unable to sit still.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jue felt that he still had to find a way to return to the capital.
———
In the Qinzheng Hall, there were only two people, Xiao Chengye and Lou Yan.
On Xiao Chengye's table, there are basic memorials sent from southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Chengye had already read it. At this time, he threw all these information to Lou Yan and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, take a look."
Lou Yan had no expression on his face. He picked it up, turned it over and threw it directly on the table.
Xiao Chengye's eyes fell on these memorials, he sneered and said gloomily: "Just because I didn't grant Hu Yafei a marriage as he wanted, he just went ahead and expelled Hu Yafei from the house, claiming that he would never have this daughter again. He
What are you doing? This is because you are dissatisfied with me and are taking the opportunity to show my shame!"
Lou Yan said indifferently: "Hu Yafei is living a good life as a princess. His husband loves her very much."
Xiao Chengye was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Is this the point?"
Lou Yan looked up at him and asked calmly: "Then what is the important point?"
"The point is that he is dissatisfied with me!" Xiao Chengye said angrily, "He is dissatisfied with me and scorns me. If he were not far away in southern Xinjiang, he would probably jump up and fight me."
Lou Yan frowned: "Are you angry?"
Xiao Chengye took a deep breath: "Shouldn't I be angry?"
"I'm not happy," Lou Yan thought for a while and said sincerely, "Just change it to something you like."
Xiao Chengye was choked up by Lou Yan's words and almost couldn't breathe.
Every time he talked to his son, he felt like he was teetering on the verge of death.
"Do you think the King of Southern Xinjiang is something that can be changed at a moment's notice?" Xiao Chengye said angrily.
"Just change it." Seeing how excited Xiao Chengye was, Lou Yan was not in a hurry and said calmly, "You are the emperor. If you want to change, then change it."
Xiao Chengye: "...How come replacing a vassal king is no different from eating a snack in your mouth?"
"It's true that there's not much difference," Lou Yan seemed a little careless, "I dare not say that about other places, but Southern Xinjiang... It's really a matter of change."
Xiao Chengye came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Chengye seriously: "What did you do?"
"Father, do you think my more than two years in Southern Xinjiang were in vain?" Lou Yan said leisurely, "There have been people of mine in the military and political system of Southern Xinjiang for a long time. The current King of Southern Xinjiang is just an empty shell.
, In vain, he is still ambitious and dreams of interfering with the imperial court."
Xiao Chengye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Seriously?"
Lou Yan: "I saw that he was dishonest, so I was on guard against him."
Xiao Chengye sat up straight and asked him: "Then are you willing to go to southern Xinjiang again?"
Lou Yan looked at Xiao Chengye with confusion: "Why should I go to Southern Xinjiang again?"
Xiao Chengye: "...it's not you who said you wanted to change..."
"Just let someone else go, I don't have to go." Lou Yan muttered, "What will Zhen Zhen do if I leave? She can't live without me, and she won't be able to sleep without me."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Xiao Chengye grabbed the folder on the table and threw it on Lou Yan: "You are the one who can't live without her, and you are the one who can't sleep, right?"
Lou Yan blinked his eyes and remained silent.
Xiao Chengye hates the fact that iron cannot become steel: "If you don't take the opportunity to make contributions, the love between your children will grow day by day. Do you still have any ambition?"
Lou Yan: "No."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Xiao Chengye raised his hand to cover his forehead and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, after a fierce ideological struggle, he seemed to finally compromise.
Xiao Chengye looked at Lou Yan: "If you don't go, then who will?"
"Go to Yuanchu," Lou Yan said. "Besides me, he is the person most familiar with southern Xinjiang. It is most appropriate to send him there."
Xiao Chengye thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, you go back and let him prepare and wait for my imperial edict."
Lou Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then planned to leave.
Xiao Chengye was angry: "What's wrong? If you stay with me for a little longer, will you be wronged?"
Lou Yan frowned and seemed a little unhappy: "Father, you have three palaces and six courtyards with countless beauties. There are so many people who want to accompany you."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Xiao Chengye angrily picked up the things at hand and started to smash them, but he heard a eunuch reporting from outside that there was something important.
Xiao Chengye pointed at Lou Yan, put down the things in his hands, and opened his mouth to let people outside come in.
Those who came in were the royal guards, the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as the man came in, he knelt down in panic and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please save the eldest prince."
Lou Yan, who was in a hurry to leave, suddenly stopped and stared coldly at the person kneeling on the ground.
The eldest prince, Xiao Jue.
Lou Yan narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chengye frowned and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The guard hurriedly said: "There was a heavy rain at the Imperial Mausoleum a few days ago. The eldest prince was afraid that something might happen there, so he took people to investigate. Who would have expected that he would encounter a mudslide and the people he brought with him would die.
After a while, by the time we found the eldest prince, he would only have one breath left."
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has sincerely repented. Please save his life." The guard general said with unusual sincerity, "There is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine at the imperial mausoleum. If we continue to delay, the eldest prince's life may be at risk."
No guarantee."
Lou Yan on the side narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "Father, the life of the eldest brother is the most important. Hurry up and send the imperial doctor to follow the guard to the imperial mausoleum to diagnose and treat the eldest brother. Don't delay his condition.
."
The kneeling guard stiffened and glanced sideways at Lou Yan, with a somewhat panicked look in his eyes.
Xiao Chengye narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.
Lou Yan looked at the guard and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you here to seek medical advice from the First Emperor? Why do you seem unhappy?"
The guard opened his mouth and said stutteringly: "I, what I mean is...can you take the eldest prince back to the capital for training? It's humid over there in the imperial mausoleum, and it's even more difficult in winter. The eldest prince's body is not good
He is weak and injured, and if he continues to stay in the imperial mausoleum, it may not be good for his health."
Lou Yan said calmly: "But wouldn't this return delay his condition even more?"
