After a few days, when Jiang Zhongyuan had jumped up and down enough, Zhao Yanheng quietly entered Kunming with the people sent to Guangxi to investigate a few months ago, and then Zhao Yanheng secretly recruited Guo Kun to come.

Jiang Zhongyuan bribed his subordinates, coerced his colleagues, and concealed the evidence of his negligence in front of Guo Kun, so these days, Jiang Zhongyuan's impassioned in front of Guo Kun was to bluff Guo Kun as a rude reckless man, with handsome eyebrows and handsome eyes, the burly Guo Kun clattered his iron fist, just wanting to break Jiang Zhongyuan's neck.

Zhao Yanheng looked at Guo Kun angrily, and said calmly: "Don't be so angry, at least, Jiang Zhongyuan gave the general a chance, a chance to build a career in the southwest!"

The fact that Hou Shizi and his wife in Zhennan were so bold to fool Guo Kun and succeeded in fooling him was nothing more than that he had calculated Guo Kun and had a heart for quick success. The Duke of Qianguo was young, and Uncle Guo Kun took the position of nephew and took charge of the southern border, but Guo Kun was not a person like the Duke of Zhou, he wanted to replace him every day and become the rightful Duke of Qianguo, and then the title of Duke of Qianguo was passed on among his heirs. At the beginning, Mrs. Chen's eldest son Guo Shaorong inherited the title at the age of nine, and died of illness at the age of eleven.

This matter was discussed in the DPRK and China for several days, and finally in the name that Guo Kunwei was not enough to appease the people and his merits were not enough to violate the etiquette law, he still pressed the title of Duke of Qianguo on the head of the two-year-old Guo Shaoqian. In short, Guo Kun wants to take his nephew's place, and his military prestige is not enough. Therefore, in these years, Guo Kun has been active and enterprising, cultivating Wendao and rebelling abroad, and the army and people in the south only respect the general and look at the Duke of Qianguo from afar, which is Guo Kun's ambition. Hou Shizi and his wife in Zhennan identified Guo Kun's pulse, so they came to use their strength to help them suppress the bandits.

That's right!

Guo Kun swallowed that mouthful, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said loudly: "His Royal Highness summoned me here today and exposed Jiang Zhongyuan's mistakes, is it His Highness's intention, or His Majesty's intention?"

Guo Kun has always been very sober, and it is not the orphans and widows of the big house who prevent him from inheriting the title, but the old emperor in the imperial city, who both uses him and is jealous of him.

"The general went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and has been in a position for more than 20 years, with more than 20 wounds, and more than 10 times of chaos. Zhao Yanheng was in high spirits, and suddenly said: "The only difference between this king and his brother is that he was born a few years late, and he is the seventh among his brothers." ”

Whether it is the throne, the title of the Duke of Qianguo, the establishment of a successor or a virtuous person, these two people have the courage to fight and forge ahead without being marginalized. However, Guo Kun was still wary of Zhao Yanheng at this time, and he only laughed in the face of this remark.

The Guo family is trying their best to promote the marriage of Zhao Yanheng and Li Fei, this is the icing on the cake, Zhao Yanheng is just a prince now, and he has no right to control the overall situation and let Guo Kun get his wish, so Guo Kun's personal interests and the interests of Xiangyang Palace are not closely linked.

Zhao Yanheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his lips were smiling, arrogant and treacherous, he was like this, such as standing on top of the ninefold, overlooking the lower realm, and said indifferently: "My father is old, for an old man, the affairs of the court and the border frontier military affairs, if he can do less, he can also take a nap with his eyes closed, so the general, who is especially in his prime, holds a lot of power, and his father uses you and hinders you, which is reasonable." But this king is different, this king is the rising sun, when the sun is in the sky, scolding Fang Xuan, such as the general's generation, this king can use it and dare to use it, then he will be eclectic, give you what you want, a very human minister, Ze Phi heir. ”

Zhao Yanheng is like a pine and cypress, standing with his hands behind his back, his noble arrogance is overflowing, the fathers, sons, monarchs and ministers in this world are all in his arrogance, this is domineering, the domineering of becoming a king and an emperor.

Guo Kun's heart was full of pride, he knew very well that he was going to gamble once when he was in the hands of the current emperor.

Approaching the fourth day of the fifth month, it is Mrs. Li's 70th birthday, the Li family did not send invitations to the outside world, but the neighborhoods, in-laws and old friends, each family has successively sent gifts, some have tied eight catties of longevity noodles, eight catties of rice cakes such an ordinary birthday gift, and some have given antique jade such a valuable gift, but tired of Le's every time he came forward to entertain, or pushed the gift, even if some of them were accepted, they also totaled with Jiao's Lu's family, and after Mrs. Li's birthday, they had to prepare a thank you gift, and the external invitation was still not sent.

At the banquet, Li Xun held his two-month-old son and did not let go, and Jiao Shi sandwiched the dishes between the two people. Lu Shi had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, Li Su was considerate, Li Yue returned as scheduled, Li Fei plucked the strings with his clean hands, Li Di cleared his throat and said a piece of play, sure enough, only the people of the Li family gathered together, entertained themselves, and ate a reunion dinner quietly and lively.

The next day, the court painter came to Kunming to take a portrait of Li Fei.

This is the normal procedure of the royal selection of daughters, whether it is a noble girl from a high family, or a small jasper, the girl's family should be solemn and polite, and when it comes to seeing each other, you must first take away this small statue, look at its appearance, record it, and submit it to the Zongfu, and choose the royal family.

The painting was painted in the Qianguo Mansion, and it was not possible to add one point, or subtract one point, and someone had to supervise the creation of the image.

Li Fei is wearing a soft silver light Luo ink skirt, holding a soft fan, Yingying stands among the mountains and rocks and flowers, her muscles and bones are even, her posture is slightly plump, her face is like a sling, her eyes are like autumn waves, her mouth is like a cherry blossom, and her nose is like a hanging gall. The court painter is more than half a hundred years old, pleasing and beautiful, cautious, and focused on depicting, he can't help but fall into this beautiful scenery, painting Li Fei's face, the people on the rock are like the moon, painting Li Fei's hands, the frost and snow on the wrist, the quiet beauty jumps on the paper, the vermilion powder is not deep and even, and the idle flowers are faintly fragrant.

"Over there in the upper courtyard, have you finished painting?"

Guo Shaoguang paced back and forth in the room, asking the maid over and over again. Bihuan, the maid next to her, took the little maid's food box, and placed a plate of Ejiao jujube mud cake and a plate of roasted milk fans with sugar crumbs on the table. Guo Shaoguang sat down and picked up a piece of cake, disgusted when he smelled the sweet smell, and said with a backhand: "Take it, take it!"

Jiang Zhongyuan didn't come back for a day and two nights, Guo Shaoguang hadn't eaten since last night, Bihuan didn't dare to persuade him, so he took away the pastries and said softly: "Grandma is worried about the master, why don't you beg Mrs. Tai." ”

Guo Shaoguang's eyes were closed, even if she didn't show a word to her henchmen, Mrs. Chen was just begging, Mrs. Chen was her last life amulet, and she asked for it at this time, not Mrs. Chen.

Finally, news came from Mrs. Zhu's courtyard that the painter had gone, and Guo Shaoguang got up suddenly.

Mrs. Zhu was full of smiles, and the mother and daughter of the Li family sat and talked, chatting about the clothes and jewelry that are now popular in the capital, the grandmother of the second room, the grandmother Ma, and the three unmarried girls Guo Yiguang Guo Liuguang and Guo Chenguang were all talking together, Guo Shaoguang broke in, leaned down under the throne of the red spring character holding the longevity pattern where the old lady Zhu was sitting, and cried: "The old lady is in charge of me, my grandfather has been gone for a day and two nights, and he didn't leave me a message." ”

Ma walked over to help Guo Shaoguang up, and said with a smile: "No wonder, the eldest brother-in-law didn't come to greet the old lady this day." ”

Ma said easily, Mrs. Zhu also didn't take it to heart, in Kunming, who dared to embarrass the son-in-law of the Guo family, so she also smiled: "When a man is doing things outside, there is a time when he can't get out of his body, don't be so surprised." ”

Li Fei watched coldly, and gently pulled Li Yue's sleeve, Li Yue nodded, but she didn't want to mix with Guo Shaoguang's, so she got up quietly, and the mother and daughter were ready to leave silently.

Guo Shaoguang paid attention to the mother and daughter of the Li family, and when he saw them hurriedly avoiding them, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Mrs. Li, cousin, you stay for the time being, I have something to ask for." ”

Guo Shaoguang deliberately pinched this point, revealing a look of not looking for a husband, just to stop the mother and daughter of the Li family, I saw that Guo Shaoguang still didn't know anything, and said fearlessly: "I want to pass on the uncle's long follower, and none of the four long followers are gone, only one of the little guy who runs errands for the long follower said that the uncle was invited by Manyuan two days ago, but I don't know where the uncle came out of Manyuan and went." In the Manyuan, Tianhuang is noble, and the Hou Mansion in Zhennan does not dare to be reckless, but now that the uncle can't be found everywhere, he wants to ask Mrs. Li and Aunt Li for face. ”

This is a very euphemistic statement, Guo Shaoguang means that King Xiang detained Jiang Zhongyuan.

Old Madam Zhu was surprised and said, "What do you say, is His Royal Highness King Xiang going to meddle in the military affairs of the southwest?"

Whether it is Yunnan or Guangxi, it is not Zhao Yanheng's territory, so Zhao Yanheng called 'meddling', this is not a good word, Li Fei sighed lightly and said: "Auntie, King Xiang invited the Hou Shizi of Zhennan to come over, should it be a matter between their men, or ask the second cousin to come over to intercede." ”

When Guo Shaoguang was talking, Ma took the three unmarried sisters-in-law down, and the maids and daughters-in-law who were with them in the house all withdrew, and only Mrs. Chen, thinking that she knew the news of her daughter and son-in-law, hurriedly went inside.

Guo Liuguang was curious, but he also knew that she couldn't ask.

Guo Kunlong walked into the house, and after greeting Mrs. Zhu, he made a serious gesture to Li Yue on the side of his footsteps, and said: "My father Li Gong has been an official in Guangxi for ten years, and my grandfather has also waved troops to Annan, and Mrs. Li has been taught by the two, and I have a lot of things to ask Mrs. Li here." ”

Zhu Qin was taught by his father, that is, Guo Kun's maternal grandfather Zhu Fuming, and the Zhu and Li families were in Guangxi at the time, Zhu Fuming watched Li Yue grow up since he was a child, and before Li Yue became the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, he cultivated Li Yue as his own daughter.

In the previous life, the rebellion in Guangxi was quelled by Zhu Qin, and in this life, without Zhu Qin, Li Yue can show his talents!
