After Xiao Jingxuan arrived at the camp, after being informed by the chamberlain, Xiao Jingxuan came to the side tent of the palace.
In the tent, Dugu Chi had been sitting on the left side drinking tea early, but Lu Weihai did not arrive.
In addition to Dugu Chi, there were seven or eight generals wearing armor sitting at the bottom.
After taking a look, Xiao Jingxuan went straight to the seat on the right and sat down.
As soon as Jam Hsiao sat down, a waiter served him tea. Jam Hsiao drank the tea and looked around.
Maybe it was because of the strict rules. The whole tent was quiet. No one spoke, not even the sound of drinking water.
Regardless of other people, Xiao Jingxuan couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere anyway, but he was not familiar with these people in the room, so he had no choice but to close his eyes and rest.
After about half an hour, drums sounded in the camp. The hunting was about to begin.
At this time, a chamberlain came in, bowed to everyone, and said: "Generals, the hunting has begun, and all generals are invited to attend."
After hearing the voice, Xiao Jingxuan opened his eyes, looked at Dugu Chi, stood up, waved his left hand, and said: "General, please go first."
Dugu Chi did his part and walked out of the tent first, followed by Xiao Jingxuan and the rest of the generals followed in twos and twos.
At this time, a stone platform with a height of one person was erected in the center of the paddock, and a shed made of yellow curtains stood on the platform.
There are also two neat rows of curtain sheds built on both sides of the shed. However, compared to the curtain in the middle, they are much simpler.
Xiao Jingxuan and others came to the curtain in the middle and stood each other.
Dugu Chi stood on the left side of the yellow curtain, Xiao Jingxuan on the right, and the other eight people stood on the steps in sequence.
The inside of the curtain is not big, and there is nothing else except the throne.
After a while, various princes and nobles began to arrive in front of their respective curtains one after another.
But the funny thing is that the prince and the eldest prince are standing on the left and right. Seeing this, Xiao Jingxuan understands that this is the battle for the throne that has come to the fore.
The eldest prince has already begun to openly quarrel with the prince. Otherwise, the prince is the king and the eldest prince is the minister. The prince should walk in the middle instead of walking side by side with the prince like now.
Behind the prince is Jin Wang Yang Yongan, who had a relationship with Xiao Jingxuan.
Opposite Mr. Yang is the position of King Lu Yang Hongxin, who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion.
After that, there were the curtains of various princes, princes, and important ministers. Xiao Jingxuan glanced at it and saw that the Duke of Liang did not participate. The Minyang Houfu saw it, but he was not familiar with it.
Since there was no one he knew well, Xiao Jingxuan just stood aside and acted as a backdrop.
As the eunuch shouted, "The Emperor has arrived," everyone on the field knelt on the ground to greet him.
Xiao Jingxuan knelt down without hesitation. At this time, the emperor walked directly to the throne with a concubine.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly. But he soon returned to normal.
The concubine's seat is right next to the throne. Although it is just a stool, a concubine is so virtuous and capable that she can accept the kneeling of princes and ministers.
However, no one in the audience raised any objection. Looking at the ministers lying at his feet, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the eunuch said: "The emperor has a decree, and all ministers should be safe."
After hearing the eunuch's shouting, Xiao Jingxuan straightened up.
At this time, the emperor looked down at the ministers and said: "Today's hunting, the one with the most will be rewarded heavily. I hope all my dear friends will do your best."
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
Following the emperor's order, various hunting teams began to set off for hunting.
However, only the younger generation set out, and many veteran ministers did not participate. Of course, as the crown prince, the prince did not participate in the hunting, but sat in his own curtain.
When Xiao Jingxuan thought he was going to wait here, many dancers came out from both sides of the curtain and began to perform songs and dances.
The dancer is very beautiful and the dance is very seductive, but the situation is not right. This is a hunt to enhance the noble and martial spirit.
However, these have nothing to do with Jam Hsiao, he just needs to be the background wall.
This boring day lasted until the afternoon. When the sun went down, the hunting teams came back one after another. As expected, the eldest prince hunted the most prey.
The emperor seemed very happy and rewarded the eldest prince with a jade Ruyi. Then he praised the nobles who participated.
Xiao Jingxuan just looked at it coldly, feeling that everything was so childish.
Immediately afterwards, there was a banquet, but unfortunately, Xiao Jingxuan, who served as the backdrop, was not able to eat.
Fortunately, I finally went out to grab a bite to eat on the way and returned to my post quickly.
After the banquet was over, the emperor returned to his tent. Xiao Jingxuan and Dugu Chi also escorted him all the way.
When Xiao Jingxuan was about to leave, Lu Weihai, Eunuch Lu, came over and said kindly to Xiao Jingxuan: "The emperor has summoned me."
Xiao Jingxuan was prepared and did not feel surprised. However, he originally thought he was being summoned in the big tent. But he followed Eunuch Lu and walked away from the palace.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan became slightly more vigilant. The sword in his hand was slightly unsheathed.
When Eunuch Lu saw this, he didn't care. He smiled and said to Xiao Jingxuan: "General, it's not far in front. Please"
The two of them walked for a while before reaching their destination.
Xiao Jingxuan finally saw the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was wearing ordinary clothes and sitting on a blanket.
Looking at the emperor at this time, Xiao Jingxuan was a little confused. Is this the same person as the emperor during the day?
The temperament is so different.
After Eunuch Lu whispered a few words in front of Emperor Jia'an, he left. However, he did not go far and stopped about two hundred meters away from Emperor Jia'an.
Xiao Jingxuan came a little closer to Emperor Jia'an, then knelt down and saluted: "General Xiao Jingxuan, the last general of Zuo Xiaowei, bows to my emperor, long live long live, long live long live."
Looking at Xiao Jingxuan who was kneeling under him, the emperor's expression was a little complicated. After a while, he asked: "Dong Guo Liang should have told you about his youth, right?"
"I will hear a little bit about it."
Emperor Jia'an frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with Xiao Jingxuan's answer.
"Get up."
After Xiao Jingxuan stood up, Emperor Jia'an pointed to the side and said: "Sit down."
Xiao Jingxuan quickly raised his hands and said: "I don't dare, the real dragon is in front, and the generals don't dare to be presumptuous."
"I tell you to sit down, so you sit down. What, do you want to resist?"
After hearing the emperor's words, Xiao Jingxuan had no choice but to sit up at the emperor's head.
Perhaps because he didn't know how to speak, Emperor Jia'an said after a long time: "The clan has recorded your name and regards you as a descendant of the clan. Do you know what your name is?"
"I don't know what will happen next."
"Haha, Yang Yongtai, your name is Yang Yongtai."
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned. You must know that there are very few people with Tai as their name, and even fewer from the royal family.
What is Tai? Tai is the greatest. As a royal family, the word Tai has too much meaning.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan silent, Emperor Jia'an asked again: "What kind of person do you think Duke Liang is?"
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned because Xiao Jingxuan didn't know how to describe Liang Guogong. After a while, Xiao Jingxuan said: "The final general and my father..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Emperor Jia'an snort coldly. Xiao Jingxuan was speechless, but he could only change his words and said: "The general has not been with Liang Guogong for a long time, so it is difficult to describe at the moment."
After Emperor Jia'an snorted coldly, he felt a little regretful, but he soon returned to normal.
After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's answer, Emperor Jia'an said: "Duke Liang, huh, he is a man with a deep heart and a thoughtful mind. When he was young, he dominated all the other houses in the family and became the heir apparent. He was also known as
The number one master of the younger generation.
At that time, people like Zhang Sheng, Gu Jiantang and others regarded him as a brother, so you can see how powerful he was.
But for such a powerful person, do you think he would follow a cowardly and incompetent drunkard?"
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned. Yes, judging from his father's style, he shouldn't be so lacking in discernment.
So, Xiao Jingxuan boldly asked: "Is everything Liang Guogong said true?"
Emperor Jia'an hesitated slightly and didn't know how to answer for a long time. So he changed the subject and said: "I won't mention the past things. Now, what do you think? Are you thinking about returning to the clan or are you willing to continue to be the bastard of the Duke of Liang's palace?
?”
"I will be brave at the end of the day. I have thought about this these days, but I haven't thought about it yet."
"Oh, are you not interested in my position at all?"
"The final general is already half a step ahead of his time. He will surely break through soon."
This didn't seem to be an answer, which made Emperor Jia'an completely angry.
Yes, Xiantian, only those who are obsessed with martial arts can break through so quickly. But, it is the throne, does it not matter so much?
Emperor Jia'an quickly calmed down his anger and said calmly: "That's fine." After saying that, he handed Xiao Jingxuan a piece of brocade cloth.
After Xiao Jingxuan took the brocade cloth, Emperor Jia'an said: "This is the Emperor's Illustrated Book that everyone in the world wants to get. It is also the only secret book that can break through to the realm of gods."
After hearing what Emperor Jia'an said, Xiao Jingxuan was not excited, but said calmly: "The general will not dare to accept such a valuable treasure."
"Keep it and take a look at it when you have time. It will be good for you."
After saying that, he stood up and said: "Okay, let's stop here today. Before I leave, I will give you four words, which should be kept secret."
Having said this, Emperor Jia'an walked towards the palace. Seeing the end of the conversation, Lu Weihai hurriedly walked towards Emperor Jia'an.
Looking at Emperor Jia'an going away, Xiao Jingxuan's expression was a little complicated and he continued to sit on the ground. He looked up at the silent starry sky and remained silent for a long time.
The next day, the hunting was over. The emperor returned to the capital with the princes and nobles, but there was still a lot to finish, so Xiao Jingxuan stayed.
After Xiao Jingxuan gathered Zuo Xiaowei's men, he packed up his belongings and headed towards Zuo Xiaowei's camp.
