After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

The incident happened suddenly, and the rumors among the people, as well as the memorial handed back by Gu Siyuan, were all unexpected by the emperor.

The thin paper gradually became wrinkled in the emperor's hands, which also indicated that he was not in a calm mood.

"Chu family..." After the emperor said these two words lightly, the palace fell into a long silence.

Eunuch Li, who has been with the emperor for many years, can probably guess some of the emperor's thoughts.

It’s not for nothing that he has great achievements and shocks his master.

Needless to say, Chu Xiao's contribution goes without saying. He has guarded the border for many years and rarely suffered a defeat. It is precisely because of his interests that he has also deterred the foreigners on the border who were ready to make trouble, and the border has been peaceful for a few years.

The emperor also gave him the Tiger Talisman as a token of praise.

The emperor was suspicious by nature when he left the general power in the hands of others. As time went by, he would inevitably have more thoughts.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to pocket the Tiger Talisman.

But Chu Xiao's disappearance happened suddenly. Chu Changying reluctantly put down her child and went to the battlefield in person. However, she was unable to find any trace of General Chu, and instead got herself involved.

For various reasons, the emperor could not find a valid reason to take back the Tiger Talisman.

Now, it was spread that Chu Xiao was not dead, and had even become a hero that was spread word of mouth among the people in the streets.

There is also what Gu Siyuan reported in the memorial about General Chu's amnesia.

Then Gu Siyuan said in the memorial that General Chu had lost half his arm, and even his past memories were blurred and invisible, but his prestige and reputation were in Kyoto.

In any case, as long as the Chu family holds the tiger talisman for a day, the emperor cannot rest assured.

"Your Majesty, due to popular reputation, it is not too late to wait until the army returns from victory to investigate the whole story."

Eunuch Li is an old man who follows the emperor. No one in the palace dares to dissuade him, but Eunuch Li is extraordinary and has won my heart.

"If General Chu is really cheating, Your Majesty, it is natural for you to take back the tiger charm. But please forgive me for talking too much, now is not a good time."

"It's a good time." The emperor's tone was unclear. He closed his eyes and seemed to be lost in silent thinking. When Eunuch Li saw this, he stopped talking and waited silently.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor opened his eyes again, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed.

Soldiers and civilians are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

The emperor always kept in mind the management methods recorded in ancient books.

As Eunuch Li said, the rumors are unbreakable. Chu Xiao has now lost his memory and has new and old injuries. If he appears in front of the people of Kyoto, he will surely win a lot of sympathy.

If the emperor was cruel at this time and took away the power of the Chu family.

Maybe, he will be criticized harshly by the people instead.

Due to various factors, the emperor had to give up the idea of ​​taking back Fu for the time being.

"Inform the prince, if there is nothing important at the border, if Chu Xiao's traces were found earlier, whether it is because of amnesia or his brain was damaged, he must be brought to me first."

Eunuch Li never failed to flatter him, "Your Majesty said it was a wise move."

For a while, the Chu family could not be touched, and the military symbols could not be withdrawn at the cusp of the storm. Everything was part of Gu Siyuan's plan, but he only missed one thing.

The emperor is no longer young. As his body grows older, his mind is still active. He insists on sitting in that position and refuses to give it up to others.

Now the tiger talisman is in the hands of the foreign minister again...
