Chapter 286
Chapter 286 - What Kind of Peace Do You Guys Have?
When Yin Xu went back, he was accompanied by a large group of people. When he returned, he only had a few guards accompanying him, while the rest stayed in the Huo Family Army.
Honestly speaking, he just wanted to find a few free Masters for Wang Ren. With Huo Zhengquan, Huo Yiming and the Left Right Protectorate there, he did not need to worry about not having someone to teach his young disciple.
Yin Xu landed relaxed, he did not even bother sitting on the horse carriage anymore, he rode his horse and quickly returned to the capital.
General Yun was about to force the emperor and the Third Prince to stay under house arrest. Fortunately, General Qixin, who was in Capital Camp, was unable to rebel, so he killed the rebel generals and led his troops to save the emperor.
However, because of this sudden change, the emperor's body, which was originally in a bad state, became even worse. The royal family had collectively expressed that they could only recuperate and not allow the emperor to suffer any more irritation.
It is worth mentioning that the Emperor fully experienced the filial piety and loyalty of the Third Prince during this forced confinement. He wrote down the imperial edict on the spot and established the Third Prince as the crown prince.
Just when everyone thought that the crown prince could not take on this big responsibility, His Highness The Crown Prince had issued a few orders consecutively, suspending all the important officials of the Yun Family faction and promoting them to be able to act impartially. The entire imperial court was very satisfied with this.
Following that, he ordered the ordinary soldiers to be rewarded for their services. The compensation for their deaths was doubled, and even the troll army of the Jiangnan bandits was rewarded in the same way.
Those of the troll army who had made mistakes all felt even more guilty. They swore to wipe out the pirates and protect their country as their own responsibility in this life. They would never do anything that went against their oath!
Not only that, they had to order the Marshal Huo to reorganize the water army and select a qualified water army general.
It was impossible for Huo Zhengquan to stay in Jiangnan for his entire life. The His Highness The Crown Prince could have sent his trusted aides to take over the water army, but he did not do so. Instead, he showed an attitude of complete trust in the Huo Family, and continuously increased the power of the Huo Family.
Some people said that it was because the His Highness The Crown Prince and the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters had a deep relationship that they loved each other, and some people also said that the His Highness The Crown Prince had arranged this as a betrothal gift for the Seventh Young Master Huo in order to marry the Seventh Young Master Huo.
No matter what the reason was, the people were all in favor of this outcome. In their hearts, Marshal Huo was a war god, they did not care about those who were powerful enough. As long as they could protect them, it was good to have the military in their hands.
Everyday, there would be ministers who would privately talk to His Highness The Crown Prince, reminding him over and over again to be careful of Huo Family, and not to further the power and influence of Huo Family. The Huo Family Army was already heavy enough, so there was still a water army.
The His Highness The Crown Prince didn't waste too much time explaining and only asked them one thing: If you don't use the Marshal Huo, who will help this prince clean up the troll army?
They were all a bunch of civil servants, so it was alright for them to write their own policies. It was better for them to just wave their sabers and guns around. Furthermore, all of them were old arms and old legs.
The incident at Yun Heran's place at the Palace had brought about a group of generals, which were originally scarce. With great difficulty, they managed to get a group of young generals to come up, who would be able to take over the water army?
Therefore, after mentioning it a few times, everyone stopped thinking about it. It was just that they felt uncomfortable in their hearts, especially those civil servants who had previously stood opposing sides of the Huo Family, deeply afraid that they would be retaliated against by the Huo Family.
“Your Highness, aren't you worried that the Huo Family is too heavy for you?” Han Qing had also entered the palace to seek a position as the Vice Commander, and was always by Teng Yu's side.
Teng Yu lifted his head from the pile of Advice Letter and asked with a smile, “Why do you ask like this too?”
Han Qing found it embarrassing to say that his foster father, Han Sen, had asked him to do so. Roughly in the heart of Steward Han, his Huo Family was not that reliable yet.
“From ancient times till now, there has never been an emperor who could trust a military general to this extent.”
“That's because no emperor has a fiancée who just so happens to come from the Huo Family.” Teng Yu said proudly.
Han Qing thought: Although none of the empress concubines came from the Huo Family, there were too many things about the emperor marrying the daughter of a martial general, and there was also no one like his highness who protected him well.
“When you ascend to the throne, your Huo Family will be like a distant relative, and will cause criticism.”
“This is unavoidable, but those who will complain will be the jealous civil officials of the imperial court. The citizens don't care about this, they don't care who becomes the emperor, and the emperor likes the outsiders.”
Seeing that Han Qing's brows were knitted tightly, and that he was obviously still worried, Teng Yu said in a good-natured manner, “Do you think that Huo Zhengquan seems to be someone with ulterior motives?”
Han Qing shook his head. If the other party really had the heart to disobey, they would not be so obedient.
“Isn't that fine? Huo Zhengquan doesn't have the heart to rebel, and it's even more impossible for the Huo Yiming to have it. The rest of the people in the Huo Family aren't qualified enough, what are you worried about? “
“But that might not be the case for the next generation. The power and influence of the Huo Family are becoming increasingly heavy, and someone will eventually have other thoughts.”
“Haha …” Han Qing, you're thinking too much too. Huo Yiming is only a few years old, but you're already thinking about the next generation.
Han Qing moved his lips. He wanted to say that there was still a long way to go, how could he just focus on not thinking about the future?
“Han Qing, don't you think about it, this prince has never had a son in his life, and I don't even know who will hold the throne in the future. As long as this prince guarantees that the mountains and rivers given to him will be complete, then what does the future matters of this king have to do with me?”
Han Qing lowered his head, he kept having the feeling that this question was too heavy. It was his and his foster father's greatest regret that His Highness did not have a son, and he even kept thinking that if only he did not have a Seventh Young Master Huo, then perhaps His Highness would be able to get married and have children.
“This hall knows what you people are thinking!” Teng Yu threw down his brush and took a sip of tea, “Just like this cup of tea, when it's hot, it smells good, and when it's cold, it's bitter and bitter. To me, Huo Tian is this cup of hot tea with a refreshing and fragrant aroma, why do you all insist on abandoning the hot tea to drink the cold tea?
Han Qing immediately knelt down, “Your Highness, it is Han Qing who is foolish.”
In your eyes, Huo Tian is someone that you can never replace, but what you don't know is that in my eyes, he is the one and only, and no one can replace him. In the future, don't say such words again. “
“Yes, this subordinate will definitely treat Seventh Master Huo as his own master!”
“Haha …” That person, if you don't take him to be your master, he won't look down on you. When has he ever lacked people who are loyal to him? “
Yin Xu did not seem to have many people by his side, but that was because there were very few people that he needed.
“There is a secret letter here. Hand it over to the Marshal Huo yourself and do not let others see it.” Teng Yu handed a sealed letter to Han Qing.
Han Qing took it seriously, he knew that only the extremely important His Highness would arrange for him to send the letter, hence he did not dare delay any further, and immediately requested for him to leave.
After Han Qing left, Teng Yu looked at the pile of Advice Letter that looked like a small mountain, and started to miss that person. All of them separated their feelings in front of him, who would have known, that the one he could not let go of was himself.
Teng Yu tidied up his mood, took out a Advice Letter book and flipped through it, when he heard a light knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened and light footsteps came closer. Teng Yu asked without raising his head: What is it?
After a long while of not replying, Teng Yu frowned and raised his head. After pausing for a moment, his expression revealed an extremely gentle smile, “You're back … Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could go and pick you up? “
Yin Xu walked over with large strides, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it. He exhaled a breath of hot air and lightly said: “Who doesn't know that His Highness The Crown Prince is extremely busy, who wouldn't want you to pick it up?”
Teng Yu pulled her over, and kissed his wet lips, “If you don't come back soon, this prince will personally go and capture her, I really miss you …”
The teacup in Yin Xu's hand shattered on the ground, startling the guards outside, “Your Highness…”
Teng Yu quickly found the time to shout: All of you, retreat ten steps! No one is allowed to enter! “
The guards looked at each other in dismay before raising an ambiguous smile at the same time. They had all seen the person who had entered earlier, so they could naturally guess what had happened inside.
It seemed that those old officials who wanted His Highness to marry and have children were going to be greatly disappointed.
With a wave of his arm, he swept the Advice Letter on the table and pressed Yin Xu down onto the table. He then reached out to untie his belt.
It was Yin Xu's first time being so intimate with him in the imperial study, and he felt that it was a little exciting, so before Teng Yu took off his clothes, he himself got stripped naked.
Teng Yu was so excited by his enthusiasm that his eyes turned red, “I didn't expect you to think of me like this too, do you dare to leave me for so long next time?”
Yin Xu raised her head to kiss his lips, “You talk too much nonsense!”
Two fiery bodies intertwined with each other, narrating the most sincere feelings of longing.
