  Chapter 464 appointment (two more)

  Dongsi Alley Tong Xie Mansion, the eldest lady was talking with Su Xing and sighed.

   "Here in Beijing, the sky changes as it says. Today, during the day, someone is still blocking me to get married. At night, the whole family is in the prison."

  Since the second prince was released from prison, the people of the second prince’s faction saw something bad, and they all looked for ways out like crazy. Many people paid attention to Su Xingze.

  Su Xing did not expect that in the palace examination, he won the first prize, three yuan and the first place. After the Qionglin banquet, he was going to set off for northern Hebei, but His Royal Highness asked him to wait before leaving. It was only a few days before he received the news that Zhang Ping had rebelled.

   Zhang Ping has rebelled, so there is no such thing as him going to northern Hebei to deal with the Huairou policy. This is really unexpected.

  He glanced at the sky, "Mother, you rest first, I'll go to the East Palace."

   "It's so late, should His Royal Highness take a rest?" The eldest lady was not at ease, it was so late at night.

  Su Xing shook his head, "His Royal Highness may not be able to rest tonight."

   "Then you bring more guards, I don't know what the chaos is like outside." The lady ordered.

  Su Xing nodded.

  In the East Palace, Yan Huisheng did not stop, the study room was brightly lit, and many people came in and out.

  Su Xingze had passed the second watch when he arrived, and met Xie Lin coming out at the door. Xie Lin saw him and immediately greeted him, "Brother Xingze."

  Su Xing nodded, "What are you?"

  Xie Lin hugged a stack of files and sighed, "I know that, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not a place for people to stay. Since I took office, I have been so busy that I haven't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days."

  He said, yawning, "No, His Royal Highness has arrested people, and the prison is overcrowded. It is said that there will be more arrests tonight, and a wave will be dealt with tomorrow. While vacating the prison cells, more people will be added."

  Su Xing nodded in understanding, "Then go get busy!"

   Xie Linbusy is really busy, but he still has time to chat. He approached Su Xingze, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xingze, have you received a letter from Miss Seven? What's the situation in Nanping now?"

  Su Xing shook his head, "Seventh Sister didn't write a letter from home, I might as well know as much as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Xie Lin heard this, and thought that this is what Su Rongneng did. It is said that she doesn't like to write letters at all. He glanced left and right and saw no one, and then whispered: "I got a piece of news. I don't know if it is accurate. I heard that the king of Nanchu is ill."

   "Where did you hear the news?" Su Xing asked.

   Xie Lin didn't say, "Hey, don't worry about where I heard the news. In short, I heard that there was such a thing. I just thought, I have to tell you, there is nothing wrong with it. If the king of Nanchu is really ill, Miss Seven must go to Nanchu quickly."

  Su Xing pursed his lips, knowing that the Ruian Palace is of great importance in the court, and there must be a certain channel for news. Xie Lin, as the young prince, is not convenient to tell him. After all, it is the foundation of the Rui'an Palace. He nodded, "Thank you, I will find a way to tell Seventh Sister the news."

   That's what Xie Lin meant. He withdrew his body and waved his hands, "Brother Xing Ze, I'm leaving." After speaking, he got into the carriage.

  Su Xing watched him leave and entered the East Palace.

  When he came, there was no one in the Prince's study room. There was a thick pile of papers on Yan Huisheng's desk. His Majesty was seriously ill, and all the papers were sent to the East Palace.

   Seeing Su Xingze coming, Yan echoed and laughed, "I knew you couldn't sit still."

  Su Xing sighed, "His Royal Highness, the imperial examination is also in the world. Others are too busy to keep their feet on the ground. This minister is too leisurely. Therefore, when I come to ask for an order, I also find something for myself to do."

   "Do you want to lead troops?" Yan Hui asked.

  Su Xing nodded and shook his head, "Although I have read some military books, I have no experience in leading troops to fight, and I don't want to abandon my pen to join the army. I just think that if Your Highness decides to stop Zhang Ping from going to war, I will ask you to be a military supervisor."

  Yan echoed and laughed, "You don't need to come to ask for an order. That's what Gu meant. I planned to send you to be the supervisor, and it's the most suitable."

  Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I made this trip for nothing."

   "It's not a waste of time." Yan echoed pointing to a bunch of things, "Since you're here, it's a good time to help the orphan share some of the burden. I plan to appoint the old Duke as the general, the son Zhou Wei as the deputy general, and you as the supervisor. In the morning of the next day, I will lead 180,000 troops to Longxi County."

  Su Xing was surprised, "Are there 180,000 troops?"

  "Yes, originally I planned to lead 150,000 troops, but when I think about it, there is still a big gap between 150,000 troops and Zhang Ping's 200,000 troops, especially Jinglu troops, who lack experience in fighting the enemy. Horse, that's enough."

  Su Xing nodded, "Your Highness is very considerate."

  Early in the morning of the second day, the emperor failed to make an early court, and issued another imperial decree that the crown prince supervised the country and took the early court on his behalf.

  In the court hall, there were originally hundreds of civil and military officials, but now, because the eldest prince and the second prince fell one after another, the courtiers almost fell half of them.

  The first thing Yan Huisheng did when he entered the early court was to re-appoint the replacement officials. At once, dozens of people were promoted.

  No one objected to the courtiers. After the morning court, the crown prince went to the meeting hall, and an old official from the neutral faction went to the Yangxin hall to see His Majesty.

  Even though the emperor was worried, after hearing what the imperial physician and Yan Huisheng said, he dared not care about his own life. There was nothing wrong with the emperor cherishing his life, so he lay on the bed to take care of his body. Although he was worried about everything in his heart, he forced himself to take good care of his illness.

  Hearing that the old minister was asking for an audience, he was finishing his soup and waving his hand to invite someone to come in.

  After the veteran entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was relieved to see the emperor. Fortunately, His Majesty was able to see him, as if he was imprisoned by His Highness the Crown Prince, so he was relieved. He bowed his hands to the Emperor, and then tactfully said that the Crown Prince had directly appointed dozens of officials in the early dynasty.

   Monthly pass, okay?
