The Seventh Prince decided to come to the military camp at night because he didn’t want to let the Jinwuwei Army show its strength in front of others, even if it was just in front of him.
It would be better if the Jinwuwei Army made a fool of themselves because they were in a hurry. He could be “generous” and speak well for them in front of the emperor, but… …
Seeing this scene, the Seventh Prince knew that he had miscalculated.
The Jinwuwei Army has been on guard for a long time. Whether he arrived in the middle of the night or arrived in the early morning, the Jinwuwei Army can still put up a big battle for him and give the court a big blow.
At this moment, no matter what he thought, the Seventh Prince knew that he could not show half of his face.
Together with the Eldest Prince, the Seventh Prince’s face stiffened when the army in front of him shouted “Long live the emperor” and “Long live Prince Xiao” after hearing the imperial edict.
It doesn’t matter if they didn’t kneel when thanking them after receiving the reward, but when they shouted “Long live the emperor”, they also turned around and shouted “Long live Prince Xiao”. What does it mean?
Wasn’t it to tell them blatantly that Prince Xiao was the Jinwuwei Army’s master in their hearts?
No wonder their imperial father wanted to get rid of Xiao Tianyao. Whoever it is, no one could accept this.
The Seventh Prince also thought that his imperial father was unkind to their imperial uncle, but he could understand his imperial father’s mood when he saw this scene.
In other words, no one can accept that in the country under his jurisdiction, the army only recognized a prince but not the emperor. Only accepting the general but not the military symbol.
However, the Seventh Prince only thought of these things to himself but didn’t show it on his face. He even had to keep a childlike appearance and urged the Eldest Prince to see Lin Chujiu with a cheerful face.
The emperor sent an order to comfort the army. Although Lin Chujiu was Princess Xiao and has a special status in the army, she was a woman. She can’t appear on such occasions. Even if the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince wanted to see her, they had to wait until they had announced their will and issued their rewards.
After tossing for more than half an hour, under the urging of the Seventh Prince, the Eldest Prince said a few words on behalf of the emperor, and then apologized to Yuan Shao: “General Yuan, the seventh brother is naughty, please forgive me.”
Because the Seventh Prince urged him from time to time, the Eldest Prince simply said a few words, and then ended the condolence ceremony, leaving the rest to the accompanying officials.
Doing this cannot be considered negligence. The princes came to the camp to comfort the army, that was, to announce the message and say a few words to let the army know that the emperor attaches great importance to them.
As for awarding rewards, if they want to show importance, they should stay with the whole company. If they don’t want to stay, they should talk to the camp commander and others.
The urging of the Seventh Prince was just to let the Eldest Prince be honest and obedient, and not stay with the army the whole time.
Yuan Shao also didn’t want the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince to accompany him all the way. The Seventh Prince’s words hit his chest. He didn’t try to be polite and simply led the way and brought people into the main camp.
Not long after the two princes left, the Jinwuwei Army, who were waiting for them in full battle also dispersed. Each of them went back to the camp to rest, leaving only twice as many people, as usual, to patrol the camp at twelve hours.
“Your highnesses, I will invite wangfei to come over here.” General Yuan Shao took the people into the main tent, but Lin Chujiu was not in it.
Lin Chujiu was the elder of the two princes. There was no need to stay here and wait for them.
The movement of disbanding was not small. Even in the main camp, they can still hear it.
Hearing the sound of uniform footsteps outside the main camp, the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other and moved away tacitly.
It is needless to think that the two brothers were surprised by Jin Wuwei tonight, but they were good at heart and didn’t show it.
Before long, there was a sound of footsteps outside the camp. The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince took a deep breath. Before anyone stepped in, they stood up and saw Lin Chujiu walking in with a group of deputy generals. The two people hurried forward and said, “Imperial Aunt.”
“Ziwen, Zimo, don’t be polite.” Lin Chujiu was younger than the Eldest Prince, but her seniority was there. She can hold the position of elder in front of the crown prince, not to mention in front of the eldest prince.
“Thank you, Imperial Aunt.” Lin Chujiu asked not to be polite, but they dare not be polite.
No matter how old Lin Chujiu was, as long as the power in Prince Xiao’s hands remains unchanged, they must always respect Prince Xiao and his princess.
Yes, what they respected was not Lin Chujiu, Princess Xiao, but Prince Xiao behind her.
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince retreated to the side and gave way.
Lin Chujiu asked the generals of the Jinwuwei Army accompanying her to go out, then walked to the main seat and sat down. At the same time, she also asked the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince to do the same, then said: “Your Highnesses are visiting late at night, and the Jinwuwei Army is not well prepared. Please don’t mind them, Your Highnesses.”
A moment ago she called them by their names, but now she called His Highness. Lin Chujiu made it clear that she didn’t want to have a relationship with the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince.
“What Imperial Aunt Huang said is serious. The Jinwuwei Army is upright. Just by standing there, their momentum is amazing. Ziwen has seen Imperial Uncle, the God of War’s military training today.” The Eldest Prince said with a “sincere” face.
He said this with some sincerity. He was a martial artist and has a bit of military power in his hand. He also trains the soldiers in his hand at ordinary times, but none of them can have the same momentum as the Jinwuwei Army.
Most people will be modest when they hear such praise, but Lin Chu was not. She smiles and follows the words of the Eldest Prince: “Wangye is really good at training and using them like the God of War. Your highness’s praise is true.”
“Er…” The Eldest Prince was shocked and swallowed his remaining praises with difficulty.
Lin Chujiu snatched all his words. What else could he say?
“What Imperial Aunt said is right.” To be polite, the Eldest Prince could only say something dry.
Seeing this, the Seventh Prince suddenly stood up and said, “Imperial Aunt, you only talk to the eldest brother. Little Seven is also here. Look.”
The Seventh Prince pouted his mouth. His eyelashes fluttered and he looked very aggrieved. It can’t be denied that he was really cute.
Lin Chujiu knew that the Seventh Prince has a deep mind, but she still can’t get angry when she sees such a seventh prince. She said with a smile, “The Seventh Prince is getting more and more courageous, you actually went out of the city with your eldest brother. Aren’t you afraid that the empress will worry?”
“Imperial Aunt, I have told the Imperial Mother that she should not worry because I am going to look for Imperial Aunt. Imperial Mother said my life is saved by you. Imperial Aunt is the best. With Imperial Aunt, Little Seven is not afraid of anything.” The Seventh Prince’s small face was bulging. To prove what he said was true, he nodded his head vigorously, like a child.
The Eldest Prince has seen the calm side of the Seventh Prince, and now that he saw him acting like a spoiled child in front of Lin Chujiu without pressure, he felt a chill in his back.
He was his seventh younger brother, but he was not as powerful.
What he meant to say was, if something happened to him, it was because Lin Chujiu didn’t protect him well… …
