As soon as the news of Zhou Yan's entry into the city came into the house, Mrs. Zhao pulled Zhou Qin to go out to meet him, who knew that he had just gone out of the second gate, and saw a group of people walking towards this side, and the person in front of him was tall, and he saw Mrs. Zhao from a distance, and he stepped forward a few times quickly, and was about to kneel. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not who Zhou Yan is.

Mrs. Zhao could endure it before, but when she saw her son, her tears suddenly couldn't stop falling, she dragged Zhou Yan up, and choked up: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back...... grabbed his hand and refused to let go.

The people around him wept.

After a while, Old Madam Zhao calmed down a little, pointed at Zhou Qin and said, "I only come back once in a few years, and if you do this, Aunt Xian won't know you next time." ”

Zhou Yan laughed, his voice was full of a unique pride and arrogance, and he said indifferently: "Where do you want her to recognize, I just need to recognize it." As he spoke, he naturally stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Qin's head, and said like a child, "I really don't recognize the second uncle?" ”

Zhou Qin suddenly burst into tears.

The second uncle, who was haggard after suffering bad news in his previous life, and the second uncle, who has been running for many days but is still high-spirited, gradually overlapped and merged into one person.

In their previous lives, as the only two remaining bloodlines of the Protector's Mansion, even though they didn't see each other a few times a year, they were the most reassuring harbor for each other, and they supported each other through extremely difficult years.

Without those experiences in his previous life, the second uncle now would definitely not value himself as much as before, and rest assured that he would entrust things to himself, but how Zhou Qin hoped that there would never be a day when the two of them would help each other in this life.

was rubbed by Zhou Yan, she burst into tears and laughed, and said angrily: "Second uncle, your hair is messed up!" ”

Old Madam Zhao also smiled, "What a person, and you are still going to trouble your niece." ”

Zhou Yanjian finally amused his mother and breathed a sigh of relief, he looked around left and right, and asked strangely, "Why didn't you see Yanzhi?" ”

He has only come back once in many years, and it stands to reason that Zhou Yanzhi should ask for leave to be at home today, but his mother and niece have come out, how can his nephew not be there?

Everyone present suddenly fell silent.

Old Madam Zhao said in a low voice: "Your nephew was sent to Guangnan and is now in Guizhou. ”

The person who sent the letter from the Protector's Mansion estimated that it was a little late, and Zhou Yan had already hurried into Beijing before he could receive the letter, because he didn't know that Zhou Yanzhi was sent to Guizhou. When he received the news at this time, his face changed greatly, and he blurted out: "When did it happen?" Who is in charge of Quang Nam now? ”

Before Mrs. Zhao could answer, the porter ran over to this side sweating profusely, "There is an angel outside, saying that it is the queen mother's message, please go to the second master to receive the decree quickly!" ”。

Zhou Yan's face was full of dust, and he didn't care about asking any more questions, so he hurriedly changed his clothes, washed his face and went out to receive the order.

The Queen Mother immediately entered the palace to see Her Majesty.

Zhou Yan was full of suspicions.

He was instructed to send a report to the court as usual, and on weekdays, the officials from inside and outside the country went to see His Majesty in order, not to mention that it would be three or two days later. I didn't even give time to rest, and hurriedly announced the statement of entering the palace.

As soon as I returned to the house, the angel entered the door, if I hadn't sent someone to wait all the time, where could I have pinched the time so accurately?

What's going on here?

didn't have time to ask too much, he changed into official clothes after bathing, and immediately entered the palace. Fortunately, Zhang Bi was brought with him, and he barely passed what had happened in recent days along the way.

Before he had time to digest the fall of Yongzhou, Lianzhou, and Qinzhou, and the siege of Guizhou, Zhou Yanzhi's life and death did not know these information, and he had already arrived at the Chongzheng Palace.

Through the name, and when the summons was inside, he walked in. The Chinese Wu Zhongchen of the hall gathered together, and more than a dozen people stood in shifts, but it was frighteningly quiet.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and saluted the Empress Dowager Tian.

Seeing Zhou Yan, who was tall and handsome, Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help but soften her voice a little, and said gently: "Zhou Qing, please get up, Qing has worked hard all the way, and the people in the north have been happy and peaceful for many years, all thanks to your credit." ”

"I'm ashamed." Zhou Yan said, "Thanks to the sage of the Heavenly Family, the military camp is united, and the national strength is prosperous, which is enough to deter Xiaoxiao." ”

Blame goes back to the royal family.

Although it was a humble word that everyone would answer when they saw it, he answered very earnestly, as if he thought so in his heart.

Empress Dowager Tian has seen countless officials, who is acting in front of her, and who is from the heart, and she thinks she can still tell the difference.

She couldn't help but nod secretly.

I can't complain that when the first emperor was alive, he attached the most importance to the palace of the protectors, saying that they were loyal, loyal and brave.

She asked a few more questions from the Northland, and Zhou Yan answered them in an orderly and simple way, the sentences were concise, but they did not make people feel perfunctory, and the answers were like a stream, no matter how picky people were, there was no way to catch the fault.

In the same hall, there are also Shi Xuan and Chu Zhen who pay attention to Zhou Yan.

Shi Xuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated by two beats.

When was the last time I saw Zhou Yan, the protector of the country? Xu is because he has been fighting on the battlefield, and the eyes and momentum of the Protector are full of sharp murderous aura, although he has already focused on restraint, it will still be revealed unintentionally.

After the tie is leveled, how can Empress Dowager Tian still be able to say what he said to make him Princess Shang.

Nine times out of ten, the Privy Council is going to import another ding.

He glanced at Chu Zhen with the mentality of watching a joke. At this moment, the most anxious person should be his old opponent.

Chu Zhen was not as unhappy as he thought.

If Zhou Yanping has crossed his fingers, he really has the merit of expanding his territory and opening up the territory, and after returning to Beijing, it is natural for him to be promoted to the Privy Council, but this is a matter of the future after all.

Chaos in Guangnan is frequent, and if Zhou Yan doesn't go, he has no choice but to go on his own.

Far worries and near fires, you have to solve the things in front of you first.

In the blink of an eye, Empress Dowager Tian and Zhou Yan have been talking for half an hour, Empress Dowager Tian hurriedly ended the topic of Beidi, changed the conversation, and asked: "The day before yesterday, when we talked about Guangnan, everyone said that Zhou Qing had been trained in the Guangnan Army and had outstanding military achievements. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "It's true, but it's been many years ago." ”

"The vicissitudes of life will take a hundred years, and in just over ten years, the geography has not changed much. Now the DPRK and China are using troops against Jiaozhi, but there are very few people who are familiar with Guangnan, even Chu Pingzhang. Shi Xuan didn't forget to dig a pit for Chu Zhen, "The understanding of Guangnan has been decades ago. ”

Empress Dowager Tian immediately agreed: "It's better to see Wanshu in person, Zhou Qing will talk about Guangnan affairs." ”

At this point, how could Zhou Yan not know what would happen next.

He said: "The minister asks for a copy of the Guangnan map." ”

The map was quickly retrieved.

Zhou Yan looked at the map and listed the geography, culture, and climate of the 25 prefectures in Guangnan one by one, and also briefly described Jiaozhi, if the DPRK and China want to rescue Guizhou and Yongzhou, how the troops will march, how to raise grain, and all kinds of forests, not a drop of water.

He talked for an hour, Shi Xuan found a gap, and said: "Guizhou is now besieged, and there is no news of General Zhang, please take Zhou Yan as the governor of Guizhou and lead the military of Guangnan." ”

Empress Dowager Tian hesitated, looked at Zhou Yan and said, "I don't know what Zhou Qing thinks?" ”

After many years of being away, as soon as I returned to Beijing, I didn't even have the time to serve a cup of hot tea to my mother, and I didn't even sit with my family, so I was sent to that remote place again.

It was still the death of two generals in just a few months, and now it is the summer heat, and everyone avoids Guangnan.

To go, or not to go?
