The emperor had no doubt that his son would become a more popular heir than the prince.
At that time, the face he lost on the prince can be made up for it with profit.
Thinking of this, the more the emperor looked at Yu Jingdu, the more pleasing he felt.
"Come here." The emperor said to Yu Jingdu, who was kneeling on one knee.
Yu Jingdu held the military talisman of the West Camp in his hand, and when he heard the words, he got up and presented the military talisman to the emperor in person.
The emperor took the military talisman with one hand, and pinched it on Jingdu's arm with the other hand, "I've lost weight."
Yu Jingdu lowered his eyes and did not respond, looking quite like a docile and good son.
"There is one thing, I still have to tell you a few words." The emperor's tone was a little reproachful, but the smile in his eyes did not subside, "In the document sent by the commander of the Yuzhou camp, it said that you had Guo Zhenbang and his Is the subordinate injured, or is it on the face?"
Yu Jingdu took a few steps back when he heard the words, and then he knelt down after lifting his robe.
"These two are traitors of the North Army. If my son doesn't tell them the rules of the North Army this time, how will they face General Chang and his colleagues in the army when they return to the border?" Yu Jingdu said.
The emperor frowned, "Are you still thinking about going back?"
"My son..." Yu Jingdu said, "The Empress is now seriously ill. If my son insists on staying in the capital, something goes wrong in the future. After all, my son will not be able to escape from the public."
A trace of displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Do you really think so in your heart?"
He was not surprised that Jingdu knew about the rumors in Beijing, just as he would also know the other party's movements in Yuzhou.
What he wasn't happy about was that Yu Jingdu's words were too grand, as if he was acting on him.
He didn't believe that his son would be willing to go back to the border just because of some false rumors.
"My son doesn't want to give up, and I don't want my father to continue to use the fourth brother. He does such a thing, and he is not worthy to continue to be the heir." Yu Jingdu said neither humble nor arrogant: "But the son does not want to be seriously ill when the queen. , and stalk him."
After he said that, his eyes darkened, and he didn't know what to think.
The emperor came to understand, he thought that the fourth child was thinking of his mother-in-law.
When Concubine Qi died of illness, Yu Jingdu was just a teenager, the most sensitive age...
"Besides, what's the difference between whether my son is in the capital or not?" Yu Jingdu said, "My father will not abandon my son just because my son is not in the capital, right?" In other words, even if he went to the border, wouldn't he? Can't be a prince?
After hearing this, the emperor's face finally looked better.
"If the prince knew half of you, things wouldn't be like this." The emperor sighed, "There are very few people in Beijing who know about the private military camp, and among these people, the only one who can contact the queen is the prince. Knowing that after you return to Beijing, I will settle accounts with him, and I will take the Queen's illness..."
The emperor probably pondered this matter a lot these days, and when he mentioned the prince, he had a disgusting expression on his face.
As Rong Zhuo had expected, his distress for the queen now turned into disgust for the prince.
"Don't worry." The emperor said, "I know this in my heart, and I won't make you suffer in vain. As for the queen, the people around him have already been arranged by me, no matter how I deal with the prince, I will not It will reach her ears again."
"Yes." Yu Jingdu said.
"You keep this half of the military talisman." The emperor said and threw the half of the military talisman in his hand to Yu Jingdu.
Yu Jingdu caught it with both hands, his expression full of astonishment.
The emperor was very satisfied with his reaction, and said with a smile in his eyes: "The half of the military talisman in the prince's hand is already here, and the remaining half will be handed over to you for safekeeping. The left and right western camps will not be moved for the time being, the commander-in-chief I haven't thought about who I want to be, but I'll figure it out in the future, and it won't be too late for you to come back."
Yu Jingdu hurriedly put on a "moved" appearance when he heard the words, and thanked the emperor.
He couldn't help feeling ironic in his heart. If the prince in his heart knew that half of the military talisman had fallen into his hands, he would most likely die of anger on the spot.
But Yu Jingdu was not satisfied with this either, giving him half a piece of military talisman was a nice thing to say, but in fact it was of no use. Because the transfer of troops still needs another half, the half he is holding is still in the hands of the emperor.
In other words, the emperor seemed to trust him, but in fact it was just to make him happy, and Yu Jingdu was not so grateful for this. For him, this half-piece of the military talisman is not as real as the role of a Du Xing or Liu Shuhuai.
On the same day, after Yu Jingdu returned to the palace, he put away the military talisman without taking a second glance.
Right now, he has more important things to do, and he has no time to play with the emperor to play this kind of drama of filial piety.
"Go find someone who can pass the time, get two documents in your name, and redeem Qingyu and Duan Zheng." Yu Jingdu said, "If anyone asks, it's Rong Zhuo. I don't know what to do with you."
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked, "How will people be placed after they are redeemed?"
"On the bright side, you are just entrusted by Rong Zhuo to help them get the documents, and let Rong Zhuo and Duan Zheng handle the redemption." Yu Jingdu said: "In private, you can think of a way to do it in Li Rong Mansion. Pick a house nearby and put people in temporarily."
"Yes." Li Feng said hurriedly.
"Do it naturally, don't let people see that you chose the house." Yu Jingdu said: "Duan Zheng doesn't look very smart. Find a middle man to fool around, it should be easy to get caught."
Li Feng raised his eyebrows, thinking that their Highnesses did not say that Young Master Rong was stupid this time, but instead said Duan Zheng.
"With Duan Zheng's playful style, he will definitely arrange servants and maids in the mansion. At that time, you will find a middle person and arrange your own person to enter." Yu Jingdu said again.
Li Feng came to understand after hearing the words. Their Highnesses were nominally helping Young Master Rong to redeem the servant, but in fact, they were the first to do the best, and put people under their noses.
