Once the Crown Prince Joins In

This was not Su Xinyi's first visit to the palace. He followed the visitor all the way to the Zichen Palace. The guards outside the palace were in bright armor, and the chamberlain standing at the door lowered his hands.

She went outside the hall to wait for the summons, and soon Hu Siyi came out.

"This old slave has met the Lord of Yong'an County."

Su Xinyi smiled at Hu Siyi, "Mr. Hu."

"County Lord, Your Majesty declares your presence."

"Thank you, Manager Hu." Su Xinyi thanked Hu Siyi and then walked into the hall.

In the late autumn and early winter, the inside of the hall was slightly cooler than outside. Su Xinyi walked over step by step and saluted His Majesty sitting on the throne, "My maid pays homage to the Emperor. Long live my Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The palace was very quiet, and this silence made people feel a little heavy for no reason.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Xinyi stood up after hearing His Majesty's voice.

Su Xinyi wondered whether it was because of Wu Daohong's affairs? But without evidence, His Majesty will definitely not speak casually. If it is not for Wu Daohong's matter, then what is it for?

Su Xinyi carefully thought about recent events. She didn't do anything else but Wu Daohong's affairs. Thinking of this made her feel a little calmer.

"Master Yong'an, regarding the Yulin Guards caravan, what are your next plans?"

Um?

When Su Xinyi heard this, she raised her head and looked at His Majesty in surprise. She could not fully see His Majesty's expression as he sat high on the throne, but these words made her heart tremble.

She received a letter from the Yulin Guards here, and His Majesty summoned her. What does this mean?

She couldn't guess or guess it. After thinking about it, with His Majesty's ability in being in charge of the court for many years, she decided to tell the truth about this matter.

To commit fraud in front of His Majesty, this is really the birthday man hanging himself for his long life.

This matter is different from Wu Daohong's. His Majesty knew about the caravan from beginning to end, and also knew how much she was involved in it.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi immediately said: "Returning to the emperor, I have just received a letter from my cousin and the servant. I know that they have returned safely from the grassland, and they have also brought back good news, that is, they have returned from Oara. And Yili brought back a lot of horses."

"I also heard what the prince said. The prince wants King Rong to take over the caravan. What do you think?"

Su Xinyi's weird feeling came again. Is His Majesty asking her to test her or for some other purpose?

She thought for a while and said: "When I met with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Rong before, I had discussed this matter. I don't know if the two Highnesses have reported back to Your Majesty, because I live in the capital and it is not suitable to be far away. Okay, so I’m really powerless about the caravan, so I plan to hand over what I’m doing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that His Highness King Rong can take over part of the caravan’s affairs.”

"Are you really planning to hand it over? I know that this caravan was originally formed at your will."

There was no emotion in the emperor's voice, but Su Xinyi became more cautious.

"Returning to the emperor, when I stayed in Yulinwei for a while, I really saw that the lives of the people at the border were very difficult. Moreover, the border was often harassed by Tatar cavalry. There were always major and minor wars several times every year, and the people could not bear to be disturbed. The soldiers guarding the city also worked very hard, so they thought that by doing business, they might gain something."

"Your method is good. These two caravans have made a lot of gains. Do you also have a map drawn by your subordinates?"

"Back to the emperor, yes. Not only did my subordinates send back the map they walked, but I also had the notes left by my father as a reference. I integrated the map based on the situation on both sides. If your majesty is interested, I will The girl then sent her to the palace to show her majesty a look." Su Xinyi smiled sheepishly when she said this, "It's just that this is my own work after all, and I can't say that this map is 100% accurate."

"It's good that you can do this. Your father went to many places during the war, and he went deep into the Tatar grassland many times. It's a pity that your father died young and failed to draw the map of Tatar."

Listening to the emperor's pityful tone, Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "The two armies are fighting and fighting for the country's strength. This is the greatest honor of a soldier. Although my daughter grew up outside, after being recognized back, my grandfather Just tell me that the men of the Su family are proud to die in battle. It's a pity that I am not a man, otherwise I would wear armor and guard the border. Carry on my father's legacy and strive to keep the borders of Southern Qi safe."

"You're not that old, but your tone is not that young."

Su Xinyi felt a little relieved when she heard the emperor smile. Then she raised her head and looked at His Majesty and said, "When I return to the Emperor, I am not bragging. I really think so."

The emperor on the throne looked at Su Xinyi's serious look, and the slight stubbornness in his eyes seemed to remind him of Su Chun. When Su Chun was ordered to go on an expedition in danger, the stubborn look in his eyes was exactly the same as that of his daughter.

The emperor's expression softened a bit, "Nowadays, Southern Qi has strong soldiers and horses. How can it be like the time of Emperor Gaozu, when in order to resist the Tatars and other tribes, even women had to go to the battlefield to fight. If you have this heart, it is enough."

Su Xinyi was very disappointed and thought that His Majesty could reorganize a female army, but she also knew that this matter would not be easy.

Even if His Majesty wants to form female soldiers, the current ladies are all pampered, and there are only a few who can carry swords and guns. After all, they are in the minority like her and Zhu Chanyi.

"What your Majesty said is that under your governance, Southern Qi is governed by a harmonious government and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Even if the border areas are occasionally invaded by Tatars and other tribes, it is nothing more than scabies."

The emperor was amused when he heard Su Xinyi's words. Su Chun used to choke a man to death when talking, but his daughter could talk, which made people feel comfortable.

When the emperor was happy, he looked at her and said: "The prince told me that he wants King Rong to take over the caravan. I still want to ask you what you think. After all, you take the most credit for this matter. How do you think carefully about it?" Tell me."

"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to take credit for your words." Su Xinyi said hurriedly, how could she take credit for such a thing, but the emperor asked, and she thought carefully before speaking, "The two highnesses had discussed it before, in order to In order to speed up the journey to the grassland and form a caravan to supply the teams going to the grassland, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to put King Rong in charge of this caravan, and I agree with this."

"Do you think King Rong is qualified?"

How to answer this?

Su Xinyi looked confused and paused before saying: "It's hard to say, my lord, but in the territory of Southern Qi, it doesn't matter even if there are some mistakes. Once you are familiar with it, His Highness Prince Rong will soon be able to take control of the caravan." .”

With King Rong's temper, he might really cause trouble. Su Xinyi couldn't give him everything, so she had to leave a way out for herself.
