It was getting dark.

This is the time when Emperor Xuanhe has dinner.

As usual, Emperor Xuanhe summoned Empress Pei and the Sixth Prince to have a meal together.

Empress Pei's phoenix position in the central palace became more and more stable, and the sixth prince's holy relatives became stronger and stronger. No matter how jealous the other princes were, it was useless.

Emperor Xuan He glanced at him and suddenly realized something was wrong with the dinner: "The dishes today are less than usual."

Empress Pei smiled and answered: "The border war costs money, and the national treasury is empty. The emperor allocates money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I think that the cost in the palace will be reduced. First, save some money, and second, set an example. I hope the emperor will not blame me for making his own decisions!"

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes were a little gentler: "I am very pleased with this kind of heart in the queen, so why is it a crime?"

Queen Pei pursed her lips and smiled.

She did not take the opportunity to invite favor and said that the cost of the Jiaofang Hall was reduced by 40%. Such things were best heard from others to the emperor's ears.

The sixth prince said, "Father, I have saved some private money and given it to the Ministry of Revenue! Not much, it is also my dedication."

Emperor Xuanhe laughed: "No matter how short the Ministry of Revenue lacks money, you don't need to worry. Keep your private money well and use it for your wife in the future!"

The sixth prince blushed with a joking smile, but insisted: "The money of the son-in-law is enough to buy each of the soldiers in the border. The son-in-law is young and cannot do anything else, at least he can do his own thing."

The Sixth Prince's eyes were clear and firm, and his tone was sincere and sincere.

Emperor Xuan He was moved, and his tone became gentler: "Well, you are sincere. If I refuse, I will refute your kindness."

The eldest prince and the second prince are jealous of his father's partiality all day long, and the fourth prince and the fifth prince are also jealous of Xiaoliu. They should really let them listen to what Xiaoliu did and said.

As a father, who doesn’t like such a son?

When the sixth prince saw Emperor Xuanhe responding to this matter, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Father."

Empress Pei looked at the Sixth Prince with pride.

In fact, the Sixth Prince was not born like Emperor Xuanhe. His appearance was like her biological mother. His kind and soft heart and upright and open heart were also inherited from her.

...

After dinner, Emperor Xuanhe wanted to go to the main hall to review the memorials. Empress Pei went to rest by himself, while the sixth prince served the pen and ink beside Emperor Xuanhe and read the memorials.

The clear voice of the boy echoed in his ears. Emperor Xuanhe slightly closed his eyes, and Baohe Palace was filled with peace.

Eunuch Zhao walked quietly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Doctor Cheng is looking for a meeting outside."

The Sixth Prince paused and felt a little strange.

Cheng Jinrong is on duty every day. What can I do? Wait, I heard that she took leave today and left the palace and went to the Duke of Pingguo Mansion. Could it be that something happened to the Duke of Pingguo Mansion?

Emperor Xuanhe opened his dragon eyes and said calmly: "Let Doctor Cheng come in!"

Eunuch Zhao responded respectfully and stepped out.

After a while, Cheng Jinrong entered the hall and bowed with fists: "I have met the emperor and the sixth prince."

"Doctor Cheng is not etiquette and calm," Emperor Xuanhe, who was moody and powerful in front of all officials, was particularly gentle to Cheng Jinrong: "What are you trying to see me? Just come."

Eunuch Zhao, who was beside him, was a little sour in his eyes.

Emperor Xuanhe was in a state of uncertainty, and if he was unhappy, he would turn his back and get angry. Who is the one who serves Emperor Xuanhe is not trembling?

Cheng Jinrong is probably the only exception. He has been bluntly speaking many times, but Emperor Xuanhe has not been angry. This holy favor is also unique.

Cheng Jinrong stood up straight, his dark eyes as quiet as a pond flashed with complex emotions: "Your Majesty, I have a secret matter to start."

I wanted him to hold him back and report it alone.

Emperor Xuan He was also a little surprised, but it was not revealed on his face. With a glance, the eunuchs quietly retreated. Only Eunuch Zhao was left.

The sixth prince did not leave, and whispered: "Cousin Rong, I will keep my mouth shut about what you said to my father and will never spread it randomly."

Cheng Jinrong glanced at the Sixth Prince and whispered: "What I want to say is actually not a secret. Everyone will know in two days."

Before the sixth prince could react, a light flashed in Emperor Xuanhe's eyes and said lightly: "What Doctor Cheng wants to say is related to the border war?"

"Yes!" Cheng Jinrong responded quickly: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. Today, the Grandma of Duke Pingguo sent me a message to the palace and asked me to go to the Duke Pingguo Mansion."

"After I went, the Grandmadame showed me a letter. This letter was written by Master He himself. The He family's soldiers traveled day and night and sent it to Duke Ping's Mansion before the war report arrived in the capital."

...

Things were not complicated, but about a cup of tea, Cheng Jinrong said the contents of the letter from beginning to end.

Emperor Xuan He's expression gradually became ugly and his eyes became gloomy.

The Sixth Prince was frightened when he heard this and looked at Cheng Jinrong from time to time.

More than ten palace lanterns were burned in Baohe Hall, and the hall was illuminated as bright as daylight. Cheng Jinrong's slightly concentric expression was clearly visible: "...When I heard about this, I felt frightened."

"The Prince of Tatar volunteered to go to the border, understand the righteousness and devoted himself to the Great Chu. The ministers praised him very much, and the emperor also praised him very much, and ordered the Captain He to accompany him to escort him."

"Who would have thought that the prince of Tatar had a ill-intentioned intention and had already sent a message back to the Tatar in secret, and had made a plan to show weakness and lure the enemy. It was really hateful and his heart could be killed. General He was shot in the chest with an arrow, and he did not know his life or death. The border army suffered heavy casualties, and Captain He was also injured."

"If the Prince of Tatar is allowed to be rescued, the Emperor will be disgraced and the Emperor will become a laughing stock for the people of the world. Captain He made a quick decision and killed the Prince of Tatar with one sword regardless of his future reputation."

"In this way, the morale of the Tatars will inevitably be greatly turbulent, and the defeat of the Tatars is just around the corner."

"I reported this to the emperor, not to plead for Captain He. Without an imperial edict, he took action privately to kill the Tatar prince, which was indeed a big mistake. No matter how the emperor punished him, Captain He would be punished willingly. I have no complaints!"

"I only beg the emperor to give Captain He a chance to make meritorious contributions. Even if we have to punish him severely, we will call Captain He back to Beijing after the border battle is completely won."

After saying that, Cheng Jinrong bowed and bowed again.

The sixth prince's heart beat like a drum, and he couldn't help but look at Emperor Xuanhe.

At this time, Emperor Xuan He looked at Cheng Jinrong with a deep look.

Cheng Jinrong doesn't speak much on weekdays, but once he opens his mouth, he will be clever and sarcastic.

What are "quick decisions" and what are "ignoring your future and reputation" are cleverly excusing He Qi... However, there is one thing that Cheng Jinrong is right.
