"It's broken!" Qin Gongming said bluntly: "When the old man was stationed in Datong Mansion, in order to use the Yue family's caravan to find out the situation in the grassland, he had a period of collusion with them. Four years ago, the old man returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Mu Heye took over as the border guard, and since then he has not had any contact with the Yue family with the fourth surname. Even if he sent people to the old man's house all these years, the old man was closed. ”

Zu Guichen glanced at him coldly and said no more.

Yu and Ye were also noncommittal, and wisely did not express their opinions on this topic.

After a while, Ye Chonglou spoke: "Supreme Daxing, in a few months, several other generals will take turns to return to Beijing to pay respects, and the day when we will take over the rotation of border defense is not far away." I only hope that at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he will not go crazy, otherwise there will be another big battle. A few years after the end of the war with Spain, it would be unwise to start the war again. ”

The three of them nodded at the same time when they heard this.

Yu Jiechen said: "Yes, the bitter ones are still those soldiers who defend the border." ”

Qin Gongming said: "Although the general can't be afraid of war, some wars can be avoided, and Dashang can't toss anymore now." ”

Zu Guichen asked very sadly: "By the way, who do you want those two princes to succeed Dabao?"

The three of them gave him a blank look and did not answer.

Zu Guichen smiled and said: "How is the handicap opened? There is nothing to do, I will pay a hundred taels and press ......."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Gongming hit his horse with a "drive!" and walked forward.

Yu and Ye did the same, and stayed away from him directly.

Zu Guichen said: "Boring ......"

Whip up to catch up.

……

In front of Changning Mansion.

A carriage had stopped in front of the wall.

Dong Cunke walked out of front of the mansion, raised his eyes to look at the sky where the morning sun was slowly rising, sighed, and said silently in his heart: "Finally died, the old man is tired of looking forward to your death, in fact, you should have died a long time ago." ”

He didn't dare to say such a rebellious remark, so he could only think about it in his heart, and then turned his eyes to ask a staff member next to him, "What other news is coming out of the palace?"

The staff thought for a moment and said, "Oh, there is one more thing, but I don't know if it's true or not, it is said that the concubine Niangniang heard that the Supreme Daxing has been martyred." ”

When Dong Cunke heard this, he was slightly stunned, and instantly understood, he was afraid that the emperor went crazy again before he died, presumably this news was also deliberately spread in the palace, and the ears and eyes arranged in Da Nei were afraid that they had been cleared.

I felt a little sad in my heart, and the corners of my eyes were a little moist, I sighed, and said to the staff: "My sister has been martyred since she was martyred, and she has been in harmony with His Majesty Supreme all her life, and martyrdom is also a proper meaning. ”

The staff member bowed his head slightly, not daring to say anything more.

Dong Cunke shook the sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand vigorously, dispelled the sorrow in his heart, and walked towards the carriage.

"Tianshan Snow Eagle" Jiang Hanyu followed him and asked, "Do you want to tell the county king about the death of the concubine?"

Dong Cunke thought for a moment and said, "Don't say it for the time being, Jie'er's temperament is too extreme, if you tell him at this time, it's hard to guarantee that he will do something out of the ordinary." Wait a few days, the old man will talk to him personally. ”

Jiang Hanyu nodded lightly, indicating that he knew.

When Dong Cunke just walked to the side of the carriage, a fast horse came.

You Longsheng stopped his horse, broke the saddle and dismounted, walked in front of Dong Cunke, saluted his master Jiang Hanyu, and then said goodbye to Dong Cunke.

His face was a little hesitant, and he pondered the wording for a while before he asked, "Lord Shangshu, the king of the county asked, what is the first thing to do after ascending the throne?"

When Dong Cunke heard this, he almost fainted, he had never seen such a person without a city government, although he was a nephew, but Uncle Dong now had an urge to bite him to death, the overall situation was undecided, and the competition with the prince was still in the middle of five or five, at this time, he wanted to know what happened after the succession?

You Longsheng also felt that this matter was very unreliable, and touched his nose with some embarrassment.

Dong Cunke held the carriage for a long time before calming down. There was a smile on his face again, and he replied: "You Shaoxia, please tell the county king, this matter is not urgent, it can only be discussed after the supreme ceremony is completed." ”

You Longsheng nodded, turned around and left as if to demonstrate embarrassment, without saying much, got on his horse and left immediately.

You Longsheng thought, if it is really more serious, this county king is also good, he is gentle and elegant on weekdays, his speech is extraordinary, his intelligence is outstanding, there are some things he can't understand, but he can say it in one word, and what is even more rare is that he has never belittled anyone because he is the prince.

If you really talk about it, this county king succeeds in seizing the throne, maybe he is really a generation of Ming monarchs. It's just that if he encounters something that doesn't go well, or he is unusually happy, he will show an impatient, crazy, and wanton face, which is really a headache, and I don't know when he can change it?

You Longsheng thought so, and gradually rode away.

Dong Cunke sighed bitterly, took a deep breath, turned his eyes to Jiang Hanyu, and said, "The old man entered the palace today to discuss the matter of the Supreme Walk, and it is estimated that it will take many days to come back." Mr. Jiang, I will leave the rest to you. ”

Jiang Hanyu nodded and said, "The old man is provincial." ”

Dong Cunke snorted, and then said: "There are some things that calm people's hearts, but they have to be explained to Mr. A few days ago, Lu Baixian asked the old man, if the king of the county wins, he has any position, the old man did not give him a clear answer at that time, if Mr. is free today, he will tell him, let alone a foreigner who is also in charge of the household department. ”

Jiang Hanyu said: "The old man understands, the group of Changle gangs that were dispersed by money are now under his hands, and it is only right to use this group of people when he seizes the throne." It's just that the old man has something he wants to ask Master Shangshu. ”

Dong Cunke said: "Old friend, please speak." ”

Jiang Hanyu said: "Naturally, the apprentice just answered the question of the county king, but I don't know, if the county king seizes the throne, what will be the first thing?"

Dong Cunke's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Jiang Hanyu, and said: "Don't hide it from your old friend, the first thing is naturally to rehabilitate that Liu Shengren, so that you can gain the hearts of the Surin Party, which is good for the country." ”

Jiang Hanyu shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't want this to be the case. ”

Dong Cunke sighed and said: "Liu Mingyuan has been dead for more than 20 years, and his doctrine has disappeared, although you participated in that incident back then, it was just someone else's knife, so why bother?"

Jiang Hanyu sighed: "But the old man doesn't want him to be rehabilitated, because if he can be rehabilitated, it means that the old man did something wrong back then, and the old man doesn't want to be wrong in this life." It doesn't matter if it's good, it's evil, it's good, but it's not wrong. This is the old man's thoughts, and I hope that the old friend will be fulfilled. ”

Dong Cunke didn't know why, he was about to ask, but he thought of something, smiled, and said: "Understood, meet the wishes of the old friend, and hope that the old friend will enter the realm of the great master as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Hanyu bowed and said, "Thank you, old friend." ”

Dong Cunke got into the carriage, turned around and asked, "Old friend, the old man agreed to your conditions, can you tell the old man now who was the black hand back then?"

Jiang Hanyu smiled and shook his head. It was a secret he was going to keep for the rest of his life.

Dong Cunke didn't care, got into the carriage, greeted the coachman, and went straight to Ouchi.

……

Morning.

Heavy Distant Waiting House.

Sun Xiaohong woke up from the comfortable bed, and looked around a little dazedly, the seven or eight maids waiting to serve him, feeling very unaccustomed.

At this moment, a maid came to her bed with a white jade porcelain toilet in both hands and put the toilet down. Two more maids came and gently lifted her arms in the crooks of their arms.

Sun Xiaohong felt that her brain was a little confused, and she didn't react for a while, so she was set up by these two maids.

As she stood up, the maid from earlier reached out slightly, trying to pull her pajama pants down.

Sun Xiaohong was shocked when she woke up, hurriedly threw off the maid who was holding her, and immediately grabbed and took it off halfway, revealing a few handfuls of small hairy pants, and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?"

The maid who took off her pants for her replied questioningly: "Waiting for the little lady to go out and drain the sewage, little miss, the slave did something wrong?"

Seeing the natural appearance of this maid, Sun Xiaohong was a little angry and speechless.

I have never seen this kind of person who serves himself like a waste, and even the sewage is answered, what a great blessing, is it true that the grandfather is like this every day? No wonder they all say that it is good to be an official.

Lifting his pants, he said calmly: "Aunt Ben...... Miss Ben is not used to this, she obviously has hands and feet and wants others to serve her? Alright, you all go out, Miss Ben will take care of it herself. ”

The maids looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything, and walked out of the room backwards.

But at this moment, Sun Xiaohong remembered something, pointed to the maid who was about to take off her pants just now, and said, "You, yes, you, stay, and the others go out." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and stopped.

Sun Xiaohong got off the bed, stretched out firmly, felt a little suffocated underneath, wanted to be convenient, and said, "You turn around first." ”

The maid did as she was said and turned away.

Sun Xiaohong took off her pants with confidence and sat on the white jade toilet, and after a sound of a fine stream of water came out, Sun Xiaohong said: "I have seen you for a long time, what is your name?"

The maid replied, "The slave's name is Xiao Ying." ”

When the water stopped, Sun Xiaohong heard the maid's answer, nodded, picked up the soft hand towel placed next to her and wiped it, then stood up, lifted the white silk pajama pants, and said, "Okay, you can turn around." ”

The maid Xiaoying turned around, bowed her head, and said nothing.

Sun Xiaohong sat on the bed with a golden knife and asked, "Xiaoying, are all the nobles in the capital so served?"

Xiao Ying replied truthfully: "Most of them are like this, but it also depends on the temper of the masters." In this mansion, the eldest son, the second son, and the fifth prince are all served like this. The third son, the seventh son and the fourth son prefer to 'blow Xiao and make jade' in the morning, Miss Nine likes to 'mouth in and out of the plate', and as for the thirteenth son, it is better to be a man......"
