Chapter 39 Final arrangement

When Luo Jinglei received the news, he was pestering Xia Qiuyu to take a nap. They hadn't taken a nap together for a long time. Xia Qiuyu's habit has not changed, but he is also used to the days when Luo Jinglei is not around. Suddenly they want to sleep together again. This is how Xia Qiuyu could sleep. When the letter arrived, Xia Qiuyu stopped pretending to be asleep and pushed him to get up to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Luo Jinglei hugged him tightly and took it directly. The letter was read on the bed.

Luo Jinglei hugged Xia Qiuyu sideways from behind. The letter was placed in front of the two of them. Xia Qiuyu naturally saw it and asked, "When did this Wen Yi help you?"

"Wen Yi belongs to Brother Three Emperors, so of course it belongs to me now." Luo Jinglei explained nonchalantly.

Speaking of the third prince, Xia Qiuyu is still not very clear about his purpose. It is rumored in the court that the sixth prince supports the third prince's succession, but in fact it is the third prince who helps the sixth prince in doing things, "Why does the third prince help you so much?"

"Heh~ I thought the master wouldn't ask, wouldn't it be too late to think of this after so long?" Luo Jinglei smiled, and lightly pecked Xia Qiuyu's neck.

Xia Qiuyu didn't seem to notice it, but said: "It's just curiosity, you naturally have your reasons for doing things."

"Brother Sanhuang is not keen on the throne, or he doesn't want to succeed at all, but he also knows that Brother Dahuang is not suitable for the position of crown prince, so he fought for it. Now that he knows my plan, he is naturally happy to cooperate with me. I'm also happy and relaxed." Luo Jinglei explained while throwing the letter on the ground, holding Xia Qiuyu tightly with both hands.

"He understands people...Lei'er..." Xia Qiuyu just said a word, then pressed the hand on his waist that became more and more unruly, and then continued, "The rest can be arranged gone?"

"Well, it's arranged, just wait for Xia Xun." Luo Jinglei buried his head behind him, his voice a bit dull.

Luo Jinglei secretly ordered the people from the Ministry of Industry to deliberately neglect a certain area during the flood control, and disasters will definitely occur at that time. Although it can guarantee that the people will not be injured, the pain of destroying their hometown is also sad.

As if aware of Xia Qiuyu's worry, Luo Jinglei comforted him: "The people will be fine, and arrangements will be made at that time, and there will be a lot of regained ones. I will definitely tell him to spit out what the big emperor brother eats."

Hearing this, Xia Qiuyu patted the jade hand that was attached to Luo Jinglei's arm lightly, with a sense of comfort, "Well, I believe you have this ability, but those people have to suffer for it. gone."

The two stayed together for a while, and Luo Jinglei got up. He also wanted to be with Xia Qiuyu again, but he still had a lot of things to do, and it would be inconvenient without He Xiangchen by his side. They called Ouyang Fengmao back, so he and Yeluqi lived comfortably.

Not to mention how Ouyang Fengmao reluctantly dragged Yeluqi back to the capital, but the third prince Xia Qiuyu was talking about rode his horse and whipped out of the city gate.

The city closest to Kyoto is called Haoyun City. This city was influenced by Kyoto and is also bustling and lively.There is the most famous teahouse in Kyoto—Juxian Teahouse, and here is the most famous restaurant—Singing Restaurant, Waking Up to Jinxiu Piaoxiangyuan, and Hongyasinging Restaurant after being drunk. I heard that this restaurant is the same as that of Donghuang Piaoxiao City. Zuixianlou is the same owner, I don't know if it's true or not, but it also attracts countless drinkers.

There are many wing rooms in Chang Restaurant, and Luo Jingming is sitting in one of the wing rooms right now, without a single attendant by his side, and the person drinking at the same table with him is also a man, about forty years old, with a resolute face The edges and corners are sharp, and the hair on the sideburns is combed meticulously. It is obvious that this is a very strict person, but occasionally he can be seen showing a gentle expression when he is shocked by Shang Luo.

"Uncle Xiao, it's been a tough journey, my nephew respects you." Luo Jingming's expression was very relaxed and happy, even Luo Jinglei rarely saw him like this.

The man smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank the wine offered by Luo Jingming, "I'm tired, but I can't be tired, but when you sent the letter, you only said that you have something to discuss, so I thought something serious happened."

Luo Jingming looked at the man in front of him. He was one of the three kings of the opposite sex in Beichen——Prince Yu Xiao Xin. To Luo Jingming, the rigorous Xiao Xin was no less than another father. The father's love that he got in front of him has been tasted in this Prince Yu who has no blood relationship. In Luo Jingming's heart, he is even more important than his father.

"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, nothing major happened, but there are some things I want to talk to Uncle Xiao about." Luo Jingming always had an imperceptible intimacy and trust in front of Xiao Xin.

Xiao Xin put down his wine glass, intending to listen carefully to what Luo Jingming had to say, he is well-known for his rigor, and naturally he doesn't like drinking when it comes to serious business.

Luo Jingming was also aware of his temperament, and also put down his glass, "Uncle Xiao has also heard a lot of rumors in the capital recently, did Grandpa say something to you?"

Xiao Xin thought about it for a moment, and said: "It is true that I have heard a lot, but Prime Minister Zuo has never heard from me."

"Then Uncle Xiao thinks... that my nephew is suitable for that seat?" Luo Jingming stared at the wine glass he was playing with, his voice a little low.

"Why do you ask at this time?" After working hard for so long, the third prince is now the most prestigious in Kyoto, and his ascension to the throne is inevitable. Don't you think it's a bit late to ask this at this time?Xiao Xin narrowed his eyes and asked him.

Luo Jingming looked up at him and shrugged, "Sure enough, Uncle Xiao also thinks that my nephew is not the most suitable, or in other words, my nephew doesn't want that seat at all."

The empress only wanted him to fight for the throne, and the left minister also placed high hopes on him. As the eldest son, he had an unshirkable responsibility, and there were too many jerks competing with him, the third prince who grew up in such a situation would think Fight for it.

He still remembered seeing Xiao Xin for the first time when he was five years old. Xiao Xin was still very young, not as stable as he is now, and he still brought a young Zhang Yang to the frontiers, crossed the rivers and lakes, crossed the rivers and mountains, and he was full of vigor and courage. Tell him one after another strange things, from then on, at the age of five, he no longer thinks about competing for the throne, what he always thinks about is to go and see for himself, take a walk, and personally experience what Xiao Xin said. The narration is blissful and unrestrained.

While accepting the arrangement of his mother, queen and grandfather, he was not active at the same time, and even wanted to see if the elder brother would change into a suitable king, but unfortunately, a child cannot be taught, so far his elder brother is still so proud of his talent, He also thought that he was destined to die of old age in that seat in this life, but unexpectedly, he waited for his sixth brother.

"Uncle Xiao, I remember that only you know that I don't like that seat, but I don't want Beichen's country to be ruined by the Great Emperor, so I went to fight for it. Now, there is someone more suitable than me." Xiao Xin said Luo Jingming is the only one who has spoken the truth without letting go of his heart.

"Sixth prince," Xiao Xin said with certainty, but he knew Luo Jingming very well, "You really seem to understand?"

"Well, not only did I think it over clearly, but I already delivered some things to him before." Luo Jingming nodded, saying it easily, but Xiao Xin frowned, he didn't expect Luo Jingming to move so fast.

"What do you want me to do?" Since Luo Jingming has already made a move, he must come to him now to explain something.

Luo Jingming grinned, looked a little childish, and said: "Uncle Xiao knows me best, and there should be changes in a while. Uncle Xiao in the capital doesn't have to worry, it's just a few villages on the outskirts of Xianyang City in the Yibei area. Some villages in Hemajian County are likely to be flooded, and Uncle Xiao should send some soldiers to disguise themselves as villagers and wait for the opportunity to protect the villagers, and send me another [-] elite soldiers to protect me."

Although Xiao Xin couldn't fully understand the reason for the twists and turns, but he knew that Luo Jingming was a measured person, since he ordered him to do so, he just followed through, "Should we send another 100 people, the sixth prince doesn't need to be protected? "

"Haha! Uncle Xiao, you underestimate the sixth brother!" As if listening to some joke, Luo Jingming was a little overjoyed, "Let's not talk about how many people the Xia family trained for the sixth brother, the sixth brother himself has many people Available, and the most important thing is that Tong Zhan, who holds the military power, belongs to the sixth younger brother, so he doesn't need Uncle Xiao to send someone to protect him."

Luo Jingming's manpower was cultivated by Zuo Xiang and himself, the most important source was Xiao Xin. As a king with a different surname, Xiao Xin had the right to train soldiers within the specified number in the fief, and these soldiers would all be Luo Jingming's. As for Luo Jingyi, his grandfather is the great general Tong Guan, and his uncle Tong Zhan is the deputy capital commander. He logically has the most military power in his hands, but Tong Guan doesn't want to see the eldest prince, and there are not many who can help the eldest prince, and Tong Zhan is even more powerful. He was very disappointed with him, and did not expect him to succeed at all, which led to the fact that the military power that the First Prince could get was not as good as that of the Third Prince.

"Even if Tong Zhan didn't want to help the First Prince, why did he follow the Sixth Prince instead?" Xiao Xin was curious about this point.

Luo Jingming stopped laughing, and said in a spirited voice: "Because Tong Zhan is smart, if I succeed, the Tong family will have no place to stand, and the sixth brother promised that he will not copy the Tong family in the future, Tong Zhan You has always admired the sixth younger brother, for Baotong's family, he must be happy to do this."

No matter how Tong Guan dislikes the Eldest Prince, he will still give the Eldest Prince some help in the end. These supports will be enough to copy the Tong family if they are investigated later. The eldest prince naturally didn't like it, so how could he be willing to help, making such a choice was really wise, after Xiao Xin figured it out, he couldn't help but admire Tong Zhan.

"That being the case, be careful yourself."

"Well, if my concubine asks you to persuade me, Uncle Xiao just ignores it, and I will talk to grandpa." After the talk, Luo Jingming happily refilled the drinks for the two.

Xiao Xin nodded, not politely, and drank the contents of the cup.
