Chapter 880 Guo Jia goes west, Huang's father and son!
After the morning court session, Guo Jia was already waiting outside the palace to bid farewell, with only three or five people accompanying him.
Hua Lao had a butcher knife on his waist and a medicine box on his back, looking like a benevolent doctor.
Not far away, the envoys of Western Shu were also waiting.
"My Lord, Jia is leaving!"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly. For some reason, he always felt that Guo Jia might not be able to see him for a short time after this.
In this era, the carriages were slow and the journey was long. Sometimes a short separation lasted for three to five years.
It was difficult to send letters and letters home, but only the bright moon in the sky and the scorching sun could be appreciated thousands of miles away!
"Feng Xiao, the journey is long, and you have to pass through Dayan, and there are even some poor mountains and bad waters. Please take care!"
"Hua Lao, Feng Xiao is left to you."
Hua Tuo also nodded with a smile. He had handed over the clinic to several disciples in Beijing. This time, he might not be able to come back for three to five months.
However, the old man was quite carefree, and bowed slightly to Ning Fan: "My Lord, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, we will see you in the rivers and lakes!"
"Everyone, goodbye."
In front of the palace, many people from the Prince's Mansion came to see him off, especially the Cao Wei lineage headed by Xun Yu, and Li Ru and Jia Xu, who had worked together the longest in this life.
In addition, all the generals in the capital came.
"See you later!"
"See you later!"
Guo Jia and Old Hua got on the carriage one after another, and the coachman driving the carriage was also an old man from the palace.
A group of Western Shu envoys also came forward to say goodbye, and after paying a salute to Ning Fan, they left together.
"My Lord, Feng Xiao is leaving this time, and Western Shu has been decided!"
"One person guards a country. With him, even if Western Shu cannot become our ally, it will never become our enemy!"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan also nodded heavily. The changes in the situation in the world, before the storm came, even he had already felt an undercurrent surging.
"Xun Yu, after Feng Xiao leaves, the palace will be handed over to you."
"Yes!"
Everyone returned to the palace together. Ning Fan had not recovered from the sadness of parting for a whole morning. After all, this era was not like the previous life. The end of the world was just a stone's throw away, and it would take at most half a day.
And when Guo Jia arrived in Xishu, it would probably be two months later.
At that time, the decisive battle between Dayu and Dayan would probably begin, so he didn't have much time left.
"My lord, the head of the Fengyang Huang family has arrived in Beijing."
"Where is he now?"
"I have placed them in the Jinyiwei Mansion."
"Let them come over."
"Yes!"
After Jiang Li bowed, he continued, "My lord, I have recently discovered that there are many more outsiders in my Dayu Capital."
"I ordered people to investigate the whereabouts of these people, but I couldn't find any clues. It's as if they appeared out of thin air."
"Moreover, each of them is highly skilled in martial arts, and most of them are young people!"
"The three great immortal places?"
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Now that the war in the East is about to start, he has to clear Yingzhou before the Westward Expedition, but now the three great immortal places have entered the world, accompanied by some underworld forces.
It's really hard to get away!
"Have they caused any trouble in Beijing?"
"No!"
Jiang Li shook his head: "They mostly hang out in restaurants and teahouses, and their behavior and conversation seem to be extraordinary."
"They are quite interested in national affairs."
"Of course, there are also some people who want to fish in troubled waters and seem to want to stir up some unrest!"
"Yeah!"
"Ignore them for now and keep a close eye on them."
"My lord!"
Jiang Li's face showed a trace of difficulty, and he said with some shame and anger: "Many of my subordinates have lost track of them. My Jinyiwei is really powerless against these martial arts masters."
"Yeah?"
Ning Fan thought for a while, looked at Jiang Li and said: "Contact Yihua Palace and let Lianxing and Yaoyue come to Beijing to take charge!"
"Yes!"
After Jiang Li left, Ning Fan also fell into deep thought. Now he is indeed a little overwhelmed. The incorporation of Donghuai may require him to go there in person. He must also personally participate in the Eastern Expedition to Yingzhou, such a major historical moment.
Otherwise, he will be filled with resentment.
This hatred from another generation must be avenged!
In addition, the court affairs also need to be resolved urgently. Lin Qiushi and Guo Jia have been sent as envoys one after another. There will inevitably be turmoil in the court. He needs to be in charge of the center to stabilize the situation.
Now, with the entry of the three major immortal lands, it seems that there is a sign of turmoil again!
"Your Highness, there are two big men outside the door, coming to seek refuge."
"Please come in!"
"Yes!"
The guard had just left, and Ning Fan looked at Dian Wei on the side and said softly: "E Lai, you and Wen Ruo go to greet them together."
"My lord, who are they? Do you need me and Mr. Wen Ruo to come in person?"
"Haha, you will know when you see them."
Ning Fan kept it a secret, and Dian Wei did not hesitate and strode out of the hall.
"Da Qiao, go and invite Miss Long."
"Yes!"
After Xiao Longnu returned to Beijing, she asked Ning Fan to find a quiet courtyard for her in the mansion. On weekdays, she stayed at home and practiced swords or practiced in the courtyard.
Now his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and further progress will open up new horizons.
"My Lord, bring the Huang family here."
"Let them in."
"Yes!"
Not long after, an old man in gorgeous clothes walked into the hall with a middle-aged man.
The old man had a stern face and bright eyes, and he had the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. The middle-aged man was terrified, his legs and feet trembled, and he followed behind with his head down.
"I, Huang Jiushi, and my son Huang Baichuan, are here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them knelt directly in the center of the hall, and Jiang Lin stood by, holding the hilt of the knife.
"Do you two know why I asked you to come here?"
"We are guilty of the death penalty, of course!"
Huang Jiushi knelt his head deeply on the ground, his face full of shame: "My Huang family is a royal family, and my aunt is a virtuous queen, but I didn't expect that my descendants would do such a treasonous thing."
"We are guilty, and I will leave it to your Highness to punish us!"
Hearing Huang Jiushi's words, Huang Baichuan on the side couldn't help but kowtow: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is wise, the reselling of grain and grass was done by a single criminal, and my father was completely unaware of it."
"I beg your Highness to give our Huang family a break for the sake of Empress Dowager Xiao'an."
"The Huang family is willing to offer all its assets, and the criminal is willing to die to apologize for its crime. Please, your Highness, leave a way out for the Huang family!"
As he spoke, Huang Baichuan kowtowed repeatedly.
Ning Fan had a calm expression, looking indifferently at the father and son kneeling in the hall.
Jiang Li on the side also spoke at the right time: "My Lord, what Huang Baichuan said is right. Huang Jiushi has ignored family affairs for several years and has devoted himself to practicing Taoism. The reselling of grain and grass was indeed led by Huang Baichuan!"
"Hmm..."
Ning Fan responded indifferently, slowly stood up and walked to the father and son, first helping Huang Jiushi up: "Old Huang is also my elder, there is no need to be so polite!"
