Emperor Xi Qin took over the military power of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and directly transferred him to the military department.

The Ministry of War was in charge of the manufacture of weapons throughout the Western Qin Dynasty.

Marquis Zhenyuan replied: "Lord Cao, the secretary of the military department, will manage the military department in an orderly manner, but Weichen is lazy. ”

Emperor Xiqin smiled: "You are relaxed. "Lord Cao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is his confidant, and putting the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the Ministry of War is originally a decoration, and it is the secretary of the Ministry of War who is really in charge.

In the past, Emperor Taizu, who founded the Western Qin Dynasty, was a general with heavy troops in the previous dynasty, and later rebelled against the previous dynasty and established the Western Qin. As a lesson from the past, the emperors of the Western Qin Dynasty firmly held the military power and the military department in charge of the nation's weapons manufacturing in their hands.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan used to be a heavy soldier, but now he directly accepted his military power with a word from Emperor Xiqin, but he didn't see the slightest sense of anger, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for Your Majesty's compassion, Weichen used to have some old injuries on the battlefield, but now that he is older, the old injuries are getting more and more serious, and now he is in the military department, and he is idle, which is also a gift from His Majesty." ”

"Marquis Zhenyuan, you have made a lot of contributions to my country, and I remember them all in my heart. ”

Emperor Xiqin took away his military power, and he didn't mind saying a few nice words, slapping others, and giving him a date to eat, so that his subordinates would be more loyal.

"It's a pity that the concubine and the emperor have a thin life and went early. Emperor Xiqin sighed lightly.

Marquis Zhenyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "After so many years, Your Majesty still remembers the concubine Niangniang, and Niangniang will be happy if she knows it." ”

The concubine is the sister of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Wen Guifei, who was quite favored by the Western Qin Emperor when she was alive in the past.

Emperor Xiqin said: "The concubine is the most graceful and gentle, and I am the emperor, it's a pity...... Marquis Zhenyuan, when I was still a prince in the past, you were my companion, and I trusted you the most, Wen Qing Wen Taowuluo, I believe that he will be like you, and make great contributions to my country. ”

Emperor Xi Qin is telling the Marquis of Zhenyuan that although I have taken over your military power, I will give your son the same or even higher power, as long as your Wen clan is loyal to me, I will definitely not treat you badly.

In fact, Marquis Zhenyuan knew very well that if it weren't for the death of Concubine Wen and the three princes, his Wen family would be the backing of the prince, and Emperor Xiqin would never let them take charge of the army.

It's just that Emperor Xiqin has made thousands of calculations, but he didn't calculate it, and the Wen family is much more courageous than he imagined. Wen Mohan, the real third prince, is alive and well, and now he has a heavy army, this time he first made a contribution to the treatment of the plague in southern Xinjiang, and will soon pacify the rebellion of foreign enemies in southern Xinjiang, and the entire southern Xinjiang is in the hands of Wen Mohan.

……

Emperor Xiqin's henchman, eunuch Hu Quan, entered the Lingguo Mansion with a large number of gifts.

After the holy decree was read, the faces of the people of the Ling Guo Mansion were full of smiles, because this holy decree said that the Ling Guo Mansion was praised, the loyal monarch and the patriotism were all over, and the birthday banquet of the old lady Ling was coming, and these gifts were all given to the old lady Ling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ron. Old Madam Ling respectfully bowed in the direction of the palace.

Hu Quan smiled and said: "Old lady, please get up quickly, Your Majesty sent the servants to congratulate the old lady on his birthday banquet in advance, you better hurry up." Your heart, the slave will convey to His Majesty. ”

Hu Quan's face is also rare.

Mother Zhou helped Mrs. Ling up, and the old lady smiled: "Thank you Father-in-law Hu, father-in-law came all the way, don't be in a hurry to leave, come in and have a cup of tea." ”

Hu Quan shook the dust in his hand and said with a smile: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to deliver things, and secondly, he came to see the lord of Haoyue on the order of the emperor and the queen mother. Old lady, you don't mind if the slave goes to the county lord's yard. ”

Although Old Madam Ling was suspicious in her heart, how could His Majesty let Hu Quan come to see Ling Haoyue, and suddenly remembered, yes, Ling Wanrou's insult to Ling Haoyue behind her back was known to Emperor Western Qin, so Emperor Western Qin sent Hu Quan to see for himself whether the Duke of Ling Guo had abused Ling Haoyue.

Old Madam Ling's heart was a little uncomfortable, no matter how she said that Ling Haoyue was also her own granddaughter, how could she treat her lightly, but in front of Hu Quan, she would not say it directly. smiled and said: "Look at what my father-in-law said, Your Majesty has an order, how not to obey, Yue'er, you take Father-in-law Hu to sit in your yard." ”

Ling Haoyue nodded and said with a light smile: "Father-in-law should come with the county lord." ”

Gonggong Hu bowed and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness." ”

Ling Haoyue walked in front, and Gonggong Hu followed behind, and they all arrived at Cuizhu Garden.

"My father-in-law came to visit suddenly, but what's the matter?" Ling Haoyue asked.

Emperor Xiqin didn't have that spare time, so he specially sent his henchmen and eunuchs to see if she was doing well, Hu Quan came here, nine times out of ten there was a message, but he was just in the lobby, so many people were there, it was not easy to say it directly.

Hu Quan smiled: "The county lord is really smart, the slave is still thinking about how to speak, since the county lord has already asked, then the slave will also say it directly." County Lord, just sit and listen. ”

Hu Quan is really face-saving, even if he passes on His Majesty's instructions, he must kneel to listen to the order, but Hu Quan directly asked Ling Haoyue to sit and listen to the order.

Ling Haoyue didn't shirk it, Hu Quan was a delicate person, but he was a wonderful person.

"County Lord, Your Majesty asked the County Lord to invite the six princes of Southern Qi to attend Old Madam Ling's banquet. ”

What the!

Ling Haoyue was shocked, where is this?

"The six princes of Southern Qi, how did the county lord invite him? What does Your Majesty mean by this?" On the bright side, a county lord of Western Qin who had not yet left the cabinet invited the prince of Southern Qi to attend his grandmother's birthday banquet, which kind of truth is this.

Hu Quanquan was also sneering, and it was not the idea of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

"County Lord, this is Your Majesty's will, and the servants are only here to pass the word. Hu Quan didn't know why, looking at Ling Haoyue's indifferent and indifferent expression, he felt a little worried in his heart.

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "This county lord is just a little strange, how could Your Majesty make this will for no reason, father-in-law, do you know what's going on?"

Hu Quan made a difficulty, and the county lord's clichΓ© was a little more subtle, this was directly and clearly asked him to say it directly, which is not good.

"Father-in-law Hu, when my mother was still in the past, I once mentioned my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's popularity is the best. ”

"Oh, my little county lord, aren't you making it difficult for your minions?" Hu Quan said bitterly.

Even Emperor Xi Qin didn't know that he Hu Quan had received the favor of Princess Anding, Hu Quan entered the palace when he was very young, from the father-in-law at the bottom, to the position of the current first chief of the house, which is difficult to be humane to the outside world. And in the process, Princess Anding once saved his life.

"That's it, if it weren't for the princess who saved the slave's life in the past, where would there be Hu Quan now. Hu Quan sighed, "County Lord, this matter was secretly told to you by the slave, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ling Haoyue nodded solemnly and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, you have done Haoyue a great favor, how could Haoyue frame her father-in-law for injustice." ”

Ling Haoyue was calm and serious, Hu Quan was also relieved, and said in a low voice: "It's the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the situation between Western Qin and Southern Qi is a little delicate at the moment, and Lord Wen Mo Hanwen, who is far away in Southern Xinjiang, has sent a message that the six princes of Southern Qi are now in the capital, but His Majesty can't find where he is, so the Marquis of Zhenyuan gave His Majesty an idea and said, let the county lord go and find out the six princes." ”

Ling Haoyue's face was slightly gloomy, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan ......

Hu Quan saw that her face changed slightly, and persuaded: "County master, the slave doesn't know what Zhenyuan Marquis has in mind, but you have to be careful." ”

Hu Quan said this with good intentions, in his opinion, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is a minister who has infected the court for many years, and Ling Haoyue is no matter how smart he is, he does not have the power of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, I am afraid he is not his opponent.

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness." Father-in-law rest assured, Haoyue will be careful, father-in-law came to pass on His Majesty's message, and nothing was said on the side. ”

Hu Quan nodded and said: "County Lord, take care of yourself, the slave will go back to the palace to reply to His Majesty, the slave is a subordinate, he can't help the county lord anything, and the rest of the things can only be considered by the county lord himself." ”

I've told you everything I know, and it's up to you to decide what to do.

"Qingdai, you go and send your father-in-law. Ling Haoyue smiled gratefully at Hu Quan.

"Father-in-law, please come here. Qing Dai beckoned Hu Quan to leave.

As soon as Qing Dai's front foot left, Old Madam Ling came.

"Grandmother, why are you here?" Ling Haoyue greeted her and slowly helped Old Madam Ling to sit down.

Old Madam Ling used to send Mother Zhou at most, usually she would not leave Yulan Garden, but today she actually came to Cuizhu Garden in person.

"Yue'er, grandmother came to see you. Old Madam Ling said and looked around the room.

Then he said to Zhou's mother: "Mother Zhou, I look a little old at the second lady's furnishings here, you can go to the warehouse for some new ones in a while, and pick the good ones and put them over." ”

"Grandmother, it's good here, you don't need to change it. ”

Old Madam Ling frowned slightly, and said, "Yue'er, you are the concubine of our Ling Guogong, and your identity is the most noble, so the things in this boudoir should naturally be the best." ”

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "These are all left by my mother, and they are not bad." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Haoyue's mother was mentioned, Old Madam Ling's face changed slightly, and she smiled reluctantly: "The princess's things are not bad, so let's not move." ”

Ling Haoyue didn't seem to notice Old Madam Ling's face, and lowered her eyes and was silent. It's not like in the past, with kind words of relief.

"What did Grandpa Hu say when he came?" Old Madam Ling's tone was a little low. Of course, Ling Haoyue knew that she was not in a good mood.

Ling Haoyue only lowered her eyebrows and replied: "I didn't say anything, that is, the emperor and the queen mother were very concerned about Haoyue, and asked Haoyue to take care of herself, and go to the palace to say hello to the emperor and the queen mother another day." ”
