After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

A hint of complexity flashed in Chen Quan's eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes to persuade: "But no matter who the emperor sends, they can't solve the problem without bloodshed. I'm afraid the reason why the barbarians are making trouble is because they know that our hands are tied!"

Emperor An waved his hand: "I will decide this matter myself, don't mention it again!"

Chen Quan couldn't say anything else, but he asked Xiao Luzi to do something.

Someone sent the news to Mr. Fang, who stared at the secret letter for a long time without making a sound.

Until evening, he invited Xiao Sheng into the house.

He asked in confusion: "Old Minister, why are you so anxious to come to this king?"

Fang Laoshangshu handed him the secret letter and said, "Read it first!"

After Xiao Sheng read it, his expression gradually became serious.

He spoke without hesitation: "Barbarian and Tianfeng have always been in harmony with each other, so how could there suddenly be a riot? Can someone check it out?"

Fang Laoshangshu sighed: "I have already gone to investigate. It is said that the conflict was caused because our Tianfeng patrol soldiers accidentally killed a barbarian commoner!"

Xiao Sheng knew better than anyone else that this was just an obvious statement.

He was silent for a moment and then said: "What are your plans?"

Fang Laoshangshu said: "Let Fang Qingyue lead the troops. The Fang family army must go there, otherwise, they will not be able to persuade!"

Xiao Sheng immediately frowned, Fang Qingyue was about to get married.

I don’t know how long it will take to get back from this trip. How can I change the wedding date at a moment’s notice?

Besides, there is no way to explain it to the Tang family!

He was silent for a moment and then said: "Did the Emperor reveal any news?"

Fang Lao Shangshu shook his head: "Not yet, but he will definitely solicit the opinions of the courtiers!"

Xiao Sheng raised the corners of his lips mockingly. If it was the opinion of the courtiers, then he would be the most suitable candidate.

However, he must not leave. Xiao You'er is pregnant, and he can't bear to leave her alone in the capital.

Seeing his worry, Mr. Fang reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, even if I go to battle in person, I will never let you go. You have to guard Xiao You'er and her child!"

Xiao Sheng said complicatedly: "In normal times, I would be obligated to do so, but right now, You'er is pregnant, and her health is good and bad. I'm really worried!"

Fang Laoshangshu interrupted without hesitation: "This time, I will go into battle in person!"

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the court hall the next day was extremely solemn.

Several censors took the lead and said: "According to my experience, this trip to the barbarian border must be led by the regent himself. He is Prince Tianfeng, who can appease the people and scare the barbarians!"

Many people echoed: "I second your proposal!"

But Emperor An frowned and refused: "No, the emperor's uncle is busy with government affairs, and the affairs of the court cannot be separated from him. How can we let him lead troops out of the capital?"

He didn't bring up Lin Ruoyou because he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the censors.

They all knelt on the ground and prayed: "Your Majesty, think twice, you are now able to handle the political affairs of the court, why can't you let the regent leave for a period of time? Only he can represent the Tianfeng royal family!"

Emperor An waved his hands angrily: "Uncle Huang must not leave the capital. We can discuss other candidates for military commanders!"

One of the censors boldly spoke: "The reason why the emperor disagrees is because he is worried about the regent's pregnancy, right? Can she alone be worthy of the innocent people on the border? Whenever there is a war, they will be in the same place. In dire straits, they are also the Emperor’s subjects, so you don’t care at all?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Emperor An's face was full of anger. He was really afraid of what might happen. He did not expect that the censor would bring the matter of Lin Ruoyou's pregnancy to the court.

Just when he was about to refuse, an old censor suddenly said with grief and anger: "If the emperor insists on not letting the regent lead his troops to leave the capital, then the old minister will have no choice but to die to prove his ambition!"

He didn't hesitate anymore and slammed directly into the pillar.

The emperor shouted anxiously: "Chen Quan, stop him quickly, hurry up!"

Chen Quan staggered towards him, but because of his nervousness, he suddenly fell to the ground.

After just a moment's delay, the old censor was about to splash blood in the court.

On the contrary, Pingjiang King Fang Qingshan rushed over at a faster speed and acted as his human shield.

"Bang!" Both of them fell to the ground, their faces pale and ugly.

Especially Fang Qingshan, blood was flowing from his mouth.

Apparently, he suffered internal injuries.

The old censor did not die, he pointed directly at Fang Qingshan's nose and scolded: "Are you meddling in other people's business? I want to die for the people on the border, and no one is allowed to stop me. If the regent really ignores the government for a woman, If the people live and die, then the country will not be a country!"

The old censor burst into tears, but Xiao Sheng only felt it was ironic.

He looked at Emperor An with burning eyes: "Your Majesty, is this what you mean? Do you also plan to let me lead troops to go on an expedition?"

Emperor An subconsciously denied it: "Uncle Emperor, don't get me wrong, I never have such thoughts!"

Xiao Sheng nodded: "Okay, I believe in you!"

He turned to look at the old censor and said: "The day before yesterday, when the king was slandered and framed, the old censor cried the most painfully and made the most fuss. Do you think that the king deserves to do such despicable evil things? After leaving the capital, now that there is chaos on the border, you still have to die to prove your will and force the emperor to send me to lead the army on the expedition!"

The old censor turned away with a guilty conscience: "I only do it for the poor people on the border!"

Xiao Sheng sneered: "Do you think I am a fool? Or do you think that all the ministers in this dynasty are fools? Can't you see that you are deliberately trying to drive me away?"

The old censor Qiang argued to himself: "Old minister, the regent must not judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows contemptuously: "Are you a gentleman? You keep thinking about the people of the day, what have you done for them? I have been fighting since I was a child, and I have saved more people than you have ever eaten. You just With that red mouth and white teeth, enjoying the salary from the court, and living a life of fine clothing and fine food, is it considered to be for their sake?"

The old censor's face was pale and ugly. He wanted to argue, but he felt too ashamed to raise his head.

Xiao Sheng ignored him, but looked around at all the courtiers and said, "Do you have the same idea as him? Do you think this king is the most suitable candidate for the expedition?"

No one said a word, no longer as arrogant as before.

Xiao Sheng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this border riot was caused intentionally. Someone deliberately wanted to force me to leave the capital!"

Emperor An looked at him in shock: "Uncle Emperor, how do you know?"

Xiao Sheng gave him a complicated look. He just felt that he couldn't see through this nephew who had been growing up since he was a child. Was he really in the dark, or was he pretending to be innocent?

However, no matter what, he would never leave at this time.

He said in a deep voice: "Leave this matter to my king. I will invite the new emperor of the barbarians to the capital to discuss the border riots with him!"

Someone asked without fear of death: "What if the regent can't handle it well? Will there still be wars on the border? How will you explain it to the people?"

Xiao Sheng spoke without hesitation: "You don't need to tell me, I will personally go to the battlefield when the time comes, and will always be stationed at the border, and will never return to Beijing again!"

Emperor An was anxious to stop him: "Uncle Emperor, you don't have to do this, I won't agree!"

However, the courtiers knelt on the ground and said, "The regent takes care of the emperor's worries and seeks peace for the people. I admire him!"

Seeing these people kneeling at his feet, Xiao Sheng raised the corners of his lips mockingly.

Are these people afraid that he will become too powerful and take away Emperor An's empire?

It's really ridiculous that you can't tolerate him so much!

He left without comment.

Emperor An hurriedly announced the dismissal of the court and quickly chased after him.

The courtiers did not dare to make any mistakes and could only stand where they were.

Emperor An followed Xiao Sheng, asking pitifully like he did when he was a child: "Uncle Emperor, are you angry with me?"

Xiao Sheng suddenly stopped and let An Di, who was trotting all the way, pass him by.

When he saw that Xiao Sheng didn't move, he could only retreat.

He whispered: "Uncle, I did something stupid, but I never wanted you to leave, I swear!"

Xiao Sheng's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Emperor An blankly.

After a long time, he murmured: "Your Majesty, you are the king, and I am the minister. From now on, don't call me uncle anymore!"

Emperor An's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of panic arose in his heart.
