Chapter 116 Confused Heart
Baby Ruoxi ate and drank enough, and burped loudly. She was wrapped tightly by her mother and carried out by Nanny Jin.
"Oh, it's warm under the fire!"
Because there was a fire and they were not far away, it was warm.
"Yuer, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Yin came over and asked.
"I'm fine, brother, have you arranged it?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yin glanced at Nanny Jin's arms, then reached out and said, "Did they make too much noise and wake up my little Xi'er? I'll spank them later to vent Xi'er's anger."
"That's not necessary. I'm too lazy to argue with these little idiots!" Baby Ruoxi was very disdainful. She looked at the raging fire and was a little excited: "Hmm, wait, is uncle going to play with Zhao Huiqi? This is interesting."
Xiao Yin smiled and looked at the raging fire.
Yes, it's time for him to take back the military power in Zhao Huiqi's hands.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhao Huiqi ran over, his clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy. After seeing Xiao Yin, he immediately said, "Your Majesty is fine, I'm glad that the princess is fine."
"Well, General Zhao went to bed early." Xiao Yin said lightly.
"These days, I was looking at the issue of military rations at the end of the year. Your Majesty sent the rations, which solved the urgent problem. So, I slept better!" Zhao Huiqi said immediately.
"So, with such a big fire, General Zhao just watched it burn? He was not in a hurry at all!" Xiao Yin said.
"I am anxious, I am very anxious, but, Your Majesty, I have to see if you and the princess are okay first!" Zhao Huiqi said.
"Very good!" Xiao Yin nodded.
"The black aura is lingering, and Zhao Huiqi is even more murderous. Hey, baby, let's take the first step!" Baby Ruoxi thought so, and her thoughts surged.
Zhao Huiqi only felt that his heart pulse was a little uncomfortable. He frowned and muttered to himself: "Did I take two more Black Tiger Pills when I went to see Xiaohui tonight?"
The fire was put out.
Zhao Huiqi sat in the yard, lowered his head, and his emotions could not be seen. The
emperor and the princess were sitting in the middle of the hall. The emperor was reading a book, which was all about the number of grains and grass, while the eldest princess was coaxing the child.
Many people had the same idea as Zhao Huiqi: why did the eldest princess bring the child to this bitter and cold place.
"Your Majesty!" Bai Yu walked in from outside. At night, he left the barracks. As for what he was going to do, Zhao Huiqi sent someone to follow him. That person has not returned until now. Zhao Huiqi knew that he would probably... never come back again.
"Did you catch the arsonist?" Xiao Yin asked.
"Yes!" Bai Yu nodded.
"Arsonist?" Outside, the soldiers were stunned. They all looked inside the house, and then looked at Zhao Huiqi who was sitting outside.
After taking two Black Tiger Pills, the heat in his body had not subsided yet, so Zhao Huiqi who was sitting outside did not feel cold at all.
On the contrary, the soldiers around him moved closer to the granary. The granary that had just been burned was still warm.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that there is an arsonist? Who has caught him? Commander Bai Yu?" Zhao Huiqi stood up, walked into the hall, and asked.
"Well, I asked Bai Yu to hand him over to the people for interrogation." Xiao Yin put down the book and said.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Huiqi staggered and nearly fell: "Those bums, they really have no rules. This is the border, and the Mobei border. It's completely different from the Western Regions and the Nanmingyue Kingdom that Your Majesty has been to."
"The people are the people. All this world is the people of the Great Wei. What's the difference? It's General Zhao who keeps calling you bums. I don't like it!" Xiao Yue said coldly.
"Pah!"
Zhao Huiqi slapped his mouth and said, "Look at my stinky mouth, please forgive me, I am just used to talking nonsense, please forgive me!"
"These grains and grass were originally to be distributed to the people tomorrow. They were burned today. The arsonists will naturally be decided by the people. If you follow the will of the people, you will be able to gain their support. General Zhao has been in charge of this city for many years. Could it be that he has always used despicable means?" Xiao Yin said coldly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just think that the people are ignorant and will make trouble later!" Zhao Huiqi felt something was wrong.
"You go down first. These grains and grass are fine. I am just afraid of accidents. I asked people to sew the inner lining with cowhide. The sacks are burned, but there is nothing wrong inside." Xiao Yin said coldly.
"...Your Majesty has a good plan." Zhao Huiqi looked at Xiao Yin, with a little more vigilance in her eyes.
Baby Ruoxi arched her body in her mother's arms, very satisfied.
"Uncle is really a smart man, this trick is really amazing!"
"Presumably, if the arsonist is handed over to the people, there must be people arranged by uncle among the people. When they are interrogated, they will know that it is someone in the army who did it on purpose. Here, Zhao Huiqi, the bastard, sent someone to kill the arsonist and was caught... The people's hearts will soon be on the side of the emperor uncle!"
Baby Ruoxi thought in her heart, and her little hands couldn't help but put together, wanting to applaud her uncle
. Listening to her daughter's chattering, she actually told everything her royal brother had done, which made Xiaoyue's lips couldn't help but raise a curve.
How powerful her royal brother is!
How smart her daughter is!
She...
if she could be reborn, she would definitely kill that Shangguan thief as soon as possible, so as not to be deceived by him.
Dongju has been very busy since she came to the border.
The people stationed among the people outside were all arranged by her.
With the experience in Yu Dexian, it is now more handy to do it.
About another hour passed.
Just when baby Ruoxi was tired of playing and was about to go to bed, there was a muffled sound in the barracks yard, and Bai Yu and Dongju came in clapping their hands.
Behind them, on the ground, there were two people.
"What's going on?" Zhao Huiqi looked at the people lying on the ground outside and shouted.
"General, we..." The two soldiers looked up and then their eyes were full of horror.
"You two must have escaped, right?" Zhao Huiqi roared, raised his hands, and killed his men one by one.
"Oh, what a cruel heart!" Eunuch Gao sighed softly among the soldiers: "Hey, although His Majesty the Emperor is called a tyrant, his subordinates would never be like this. When His Majesty the Emperor was still a prince, most of the soldiers were wholeheartedly supporting him. He treated his subordinates very well!"
"It seems so. General Yuan Hui is like that." Someone said.
Speaking of Yuan Hui, he sent food and grass over, but disappeared halfway. Naturally, he was also arranged to go by Xiao Yin.
The soldiers were silent. Eunuch Gao raised the corner of his lips slightly, thinking that his Majesty was even more powerful.
I don't know how His Majesty came up with this method of confusing people. It is much more reliable than forcing them by killing.
