Zhao Jiang and Xu Zhao sang in harmony, no one in the court was a fool, everyone knew it, and at the same time, they couldn't help but think about their position.

Now the emperor is getting full-fledged, since the original Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed successively, the new Shangshu is used by the emperor, plus the criminal department Uncle Wu has always been a close confidant of the emperor, and there is the blessing of Dou Guan of Dali Temple, the thesis on martial arts, with their support, the emperor has the ability to compete with other courtiers.

Not only that, the emperor's heart has been seen, he is gradually recovering the forces that should belong to him, and in a domineering and unquestionable way, such as now, in the face of Zhao Xu and the two of them, Xin Zhongqiao also knows that it is impossible not to send troops.

Although he is a lieutenant, the head of the military attaché, and holds 500,000 troops, but after all, he is a courtier, in addition to having military power in hand, it is also fearful, but Wenchen is very at odds with him, he used to have the military department and the Ministry of Engineering available, and now he ...... But the situation is bad, so this time, the Ministry of Industry will not have a problem no matter what.

Xin Zhongqiao glanced at Qiu Wanao, who was leisurely with the old god, as if the surroundings had nothing to do with him at all. Xin Zhongqiao gritted his teeth hatefully, Qiu Wanao is not only the head of the civil ministers, but also has the support of the prince, and even the queen mother has a close relationship with him, compared to his civil and military backing, his own power is indeed weaker.

But it is precisely because of his sharpness that he has lost the Ministry of Etiquette, and thinking about it this way, his position as the first assistant is not stable.

Xin Zhongqiao comforted himself in his heart, walked out of the ranks of military attachés and said: "Your Majesty, what Governor Zuo Du said is very true, the righteous march can no longer be tolerated, but now the neighboring countries on the left and right of the West Night Country are not at peace, if you send troops to encircle and suppress the righteous march, I am afraid that the left and right will take the opportunity to make trouble.

The minister invited, stayed in Beijing Town to protect the safety of the capital, and the other Gong Yu family was born as a military general for generations, and the old general Gong Yu was more known as the god of war in my dynasty, although he is now old, but his six sons are also outstanding, and there has never been a mistake in guarding the border fortress.

Among the six sons, the eldest son Gong Yuzhen is more known as the new god of war, he is now the commander of Yuezhou, not only training soldiers like gods, but also using soldiers in a way, commanding a degree, in Yuezhou has made quite a high achievement, Yuezhou under its leadership, but also strong soldiers, unimpeded transportation, Yuezhou border country repeatedly offended and never got benefits in its hands.

The emperor, the minister strongly recommended this person, first, Yuezhou and Weizhou are adjacent, Weizhou righteous march is what dynamics, but also easier to understand, second, Gong Yuzhen has also fought with the righteous march army many times, knowing that he knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the minister thinks, this line of encirclement and suppression, only Gong Yuzhen is the best candidate. ”

As soon as Xin Zhongqiao's words fell, military attachés came forward one after another to second.

Zhuang Yan looked around and said: "This person has an outstanding record, and I also know that he is indeed the best candidate, according to what the Taiwei said, Gong Yuzhen is a mighty general, leading 300,000 troops to clear the rebels."

I remember that the small characters of the Gongyu family are also talented, and last year's martial arts held two people from the Gongyu family, and they were particularly outstanding, and one of the two of them also won the title of martial arts king in the martial arts test of the book club. ”

Xin Zhongqiao lowered his head and said: "The emperor is referring to Gong Yuzhen's eldest son Gong Yubei and second son Gong Yu class, both of whom are now studying in Yangshan Academy. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, "All military generals are born and have to go to the battlefield to train in a few years, and the old general was also sixteen years old when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and most of his six sons stepped into the battlefield before they were weak crowns." This time, Gongyu North also went out with his father to experience the experience. ”

Xin Zhongqiao arched his hand and said: "The emperor is a holy judge." ”

The news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops did not dare to delay, and Gong Yubei received a letter from home in the afternoon, and he hurried home to prepare for the expedition.

Gong Yubei was not surprised by this matter, and immediately asked Jia Tian to pack his luggage and went to explain the situation to Lou Qu.

That Lou Qu had already received the news, and he had specially prepared a practice ceremony. This trip out, and then come back, Gong Yubei can't say that he is a person with meritorious achievements, so he naturally has to treat him with courtesy.

After staying in Wenshu Pavilion for a while, Gongyu North returned to Xiyuan. This trip and then come back, to say the least, it will take a year or two, the residence is naturally cleaned up, only the only starling is still hanging outside the window, bouncing around in the cage, he thought about it, or carried the cage to Lanting Courtyard.

Lanting Courtyard is the residence of women's dependents, and there are very few men passing by on weekdays, and the road is very quiet, and there are no other people, such quietness, but it makes people feel comfortable.

Mrs. Li was napping in the house, and when she heard someone shouting outside the courtyard, she got up and opened the door, and saw that the young master of the Gongyu family was standing behind Jia Tian, and she knew that she was looking for Yao Shi, so she said: "Miss Yao is still going to school at this time, why doesn't the son go to the school to find someone?"

Jia Tian handed the bird cage and bird food to Mrs. Li and said: "My son-in-law is going to leave the academy for a while, this starling is unattended, and the young master is worried that the man will not take care of it well, so he wants to hand it over to Miss Yao to take care of, you can keep it, and when Miss Yao comes back and tells her, if she doesn't accept it, then this bird will be disposed of with you." ”

This was ordered by Gong Yubei when he came, and Jia Tian said it to Mrs. Li word for word.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Since it was given by the son, Miss Yao will definitely accept it happily, the son can rest assured, this bird, the mother-in-law will be delivered to the girl intact." ”

At the beginning, there was a "good story" between Yao Xi and Gong Yubei in the academy, and later when Yao Shi was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion, Mrs. Li also made a special trip to find Gong Yubei to help, in her eyes, Yao Xi and Gong Yubei, that friendship is not shallow.

Jia Tian turned around and saw that his young master had already left, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Li and chased after him.

"Young master, why are you ......" Jia Tian knew that the young master and Yao Shi were not familiar with each other, and this bird was also bought a long time ago, but it was never given away, and it was only sent when he left, which really made Jia Tian puzzled.

Gong Yu walked very slowly, although he was born in a martial arts family, but it was the first time that he went to the battlefield, but this trip must be extremely dangerous, if he wanted to come back intact, although he could also come back, but he was a person who wanted to earn merit, so this was destined to be a dangerous road.

But for the sake of the Gongyu family, for his own future, it is worth fighting here, this bird, as an apology.

After school and dinner at the restaurant, Yao Shi returned to Lanting Courtyard, and heard the sound of birds before entering the courtyard.

She thought it was a bird raised by Lou Yudan, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but Mrs. Li walked out of the room with a bird cage and said with a smile: "The girl is back, this bird looks precious, and I don't understand it. ”

Yao Yan took the feather brush from the birdcage and nodded it on the starling's head, "It was raised in the main house?"

"No, in the afternoon, the eldest young master of Gongyu sent it, saying that he was going to leave the academy for a while, and he didn't worry about leaving it to other men to take care of, so he sent it to the girl. ”

"Give it to me?" Yao Xi was a little strange, why did Gong Yubei send her a bird for no reason? Besides, what happened to him after leaving the academy for a while? After leaving the academy in the middle of the afternoon, he never went back.

Mrs. Li nodded and affirmed: "It's really for the girl." ”

Although Yao Shi didn't know how to raise these things, they were all delivered to her hands, and she couldn't say anything if she didn't accept them, so she took them, talked a few words with Mrs. Li and went into her own room.

The starling is still calling, maybe because of the change of owner, Yao Shi has a headache, if this is placed in the house, she won't want to sleep all night. After thinking about it, he carried the birdcage to find Xue Ya.

Xue Ya has been feeling a lot of good things these days, but when she touches it, she still glares at her arrogantly, and sees that Yao Yan came to find her, and she is still carrying a starling in her hand, strange and vigilant: "What are you doing here?"

Yao Xian said with a smile: "The eldest young master of Gongyu sent a bird over, saying that Miss Lou's Lanting Courtyard has a good scenery, so he wants to foster the bird in this courtyard." ”

Xue Ya was surprised and surprised: "It was given to our young lady?"

"I didn't say to send it, I just said that the scenery in this courtyard is good, and I want our hospital to help raise it for some time. ”

Xue Ya was about to mention it, Yao Xian waved his hand: "Do you know how to raise birds?" This is the bird of the Gongyu family, if there is a bird with three long and two short, when people come to find the bird, I am afraid that they will complain about our yard, and it will also affect your young lady." If I go back, it will save me the trouble and thanklessness. ”

As she spoke, she was about to leave, but Xue Ya grabbed her and said strangely: "What do you have in mind, Young Master Gongyu wants to keep this bird in this courtyard, then it is our young lady's yard, where can you send it back, don't you make people think that Lanting Courtyard can't even raise a bird?"

Yao Yan was embarrassed: "But this bird has been singing for an afternoon and does not stop, it can't be put in your lady's house, if it provokes the young lady to eat and sleep unpleasantly, but it will hinder the identity of the owner of this bird, then you will suffer." ”

Xue Ya thought about Lou Yudan's temper, this bird did have a headache, and she really didn't dare to take it over and keep it in the house for a while.

Yao Yan pointed to the tree in the courtyard and said, "How about raising it on that tree, neither noisy with your young lady, nor refuting the face of Young Master Gongyu."

It's just that this tree doesn't block the rain, so I'm afraid I have to find someone to put up a wooden shelf on the tree to shelter from the rain and the sun. ”

Xue Ya's eyes were happy, this is really a good idea, not only can the young lady watch the birds at any time, but also do not have to argue with the young lady, let alone refute the face of the young master of Gongyu, and it is impossible to say that it can also lead a good relationship between the young lady and the young master of the young master.

She took the bird, turned around and went to find someone to build a frame for the bird.

Yao Shi shook off the potato and slowly returned to his own house.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't like this bird, it's just that she lives in Lanting Courtyard, and Lou Yudan is not a good stubble, if there is one more bird in her house, according to Lou Yudan's temperament, this bird will not live for a few days, she doesn't have the leisure time to stare at the bird every day like a thief.

In this case, it is better to simply say that it is a bird fostered in Lanting Courtyard, which can not only make Xue Ya think that it is her duty to take care of it, but also not worry about the bird dying "accidentally" because of herself, why not.

Wait until Gongyu North comes back, and then send the bird back.

In the dead of night, Dazi cat entered the upper room of Nanyuan with his waist bent, Wu Shiwei was sitting on the bed reading a book, he heard the voice and looked up, and asked, "What do you know?"

Dazi hurriedly stepped forward: "The imperial court will send troops to Weizhou to clear the righteous march in the future, this time it is a big war, and the eldest young master of the Gongyu family will go out with the army." ”
