When Chang Ning heard this, he stood up, and the emperor raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and continued: "In the face of the enemy, the most taboo is to change the commander, I think that several of them are still in the middle of the ranks, so it is more appropriate to leave them in their original positions for the time being, and wait for the war to be settled, and then reward and punish." Saying that, he looked at his younger brother and continued: "The main force led by Le Erjin directly confronted Wu Sangui, which is extremely important, with you, he can still have a little jealousy, and I have no choice but to work for the fifth brother to go through this experience." ”

Chang Ning heard that he valued himself like this, and he was also busy: "The emperor's words are serious, the courtier's brother has been cultivated and loved by his brother for many years, and he has been on the throne at a young age, and he is really grateful in his heart, but he only hates to ask for retribution." Now that the younger brother can stay in the army and take the palm of the eyes and ears for the imperial brother, his heart is naturally very happy, if the imperial brother is so polite, it will make the younger brother panic. ”

The emperor saw that his younger brother was so promising, and he was relieved, and sighed: "I will leave again after returning to Beijing for less than two months, but I am afraid that the old ancestor will blame me again. ”

Chang Ning laughed and said: "Brother Emperor is like eating the vinegar of his younger brother, didn't the second brother say?" ”

Fuquan was originally listening in the side of Ningxin, but when he heard his younger brother ask himself, he couldn't think of words for a while, so he had to say: "Foolish brother, I can't see anything," and then turned to the emperor, and his tone was respectful: "I want to come to the third brother is the youngest, and the imperial grandmother only treats him as a child." ”

The emperor said to his brother, "This is his blessing." Speaking of family affairs, the emperor's face was covered with a trace of warmth, but at the moment the state affairs were heavy, he didn't have the heart to talk about family affairs, so he stood up and said: "Right now, Wu thieves are arrogant, as the saying goes, I still rely on you a lot to fight tiger brothers." ”

Fu Quan also stood up and said: "The ministers are mediocre, although they are in charge of politics, but all the dispatch of soldiers and the elimination of rebels are in accordance with the emperor's edict." ”

Chang Ning is naturally like this, humbly and a few words.

The emperor paced two steps on the mirror-like terrazzo gold floor tiles, and the hand behind his back slowly loosened his grip, and sighed: "You are all my siblings, if you are not outsiders, I will say it directly." Prince An besieged Changsha and could not take it for a long time; Prince Jian recovered Ji'an, and repeatedly lost the fortifications, except for Mu Shu's entry into Sichuan, a battle against the water, and a slight result, the situation on the front line is really not optimistic. ”

The two of them thought of the emperor's protection and care for many years, and sighed in their hearts, now that the strong enemy is in front, the three brothers are naturally connected in a line.

"Although the war in the south has fallen into a stalemate, but there is a dangerous barrier from the Yangtze River, and our army is a righteous army. The emperor must take care of the dragon body and don't worry too much. Chang Ning couldn't help but comfort the emperor.

Chang Ning also said sincerely: "What the second brother said is that the younger brother still has something to tell the imperial brother, the younger brother is in the army, and he once met a master to point out: Pingliang horn Hanzhong, Pingliang is not Hanzhong shaken, and Sichuan is in danger." The younger brother thinks so, but I don't know if the imperial brother has a countermeasure? ”

The emperor couldn't help but look at his younger brother approvingly, and said, "Yes, the status of Shaanxi and Gansu is really important. Wang-Fu-Chen, this person, who was favored by the emperor, did such a rebellious thing, and I repeatedly appeased him, but he always refused to surrender. I have sent Tu Hai as the general of Fuyuan to Xi'an to replace Dong E, the governor of the military and government. ”

Fu Quan said: "Tu Hai is the emperor's minister, with outstanding intelligence, clear rewards and punishments, and constraints, and will definitely be able to solve this problem." ”

When the three of them talked about military strategy, their eyes suddenly flashed, and the more they spoke, the more excited they became: "Only by conquering Changsha can we take Yuezhou in one fell swoop, but because of this, Wu Sangui will definitely defend Changsha." Chang Ning said, pointing on the map hanging in the warm pavilion.

The emperor drew left and right, and calculated the arrangement: "I also planned it, and ordered Leer Jinle to march to the river, and Tuhai to rectify the Manchu and Han officers and soldiers in Shaanxi as soon as possible, and stifle the Han to divide the thief situation." In Changsha, Prince An strategized and personally sat in charge. ”

Fuquan also felt that it was reasonable, and the three brothers said a little about tactics, and the emperor asked some about the soldiers, and it was not early, so Fuquan and Chang Ning asked for a decree to retire.

Fuquan said: "Now that the war is stalemate, we can't delay for a moment, so it's better to ask this guy to go back and prepare, so that I can report to the military department as soon as possible." ”

Chang Ning was hiding something on his mind at the moment, and he wanted to go back early to prepare, so he laughed and said, "Second brother is still as considerate, I know that those in my house are still waiting." ”

The emperor has always treated this young brother leniently, although he saw his words and jokes, he did not reproach much, only patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The soldiers are fast, the front line is looking forward to this thing, and when you come back, I will give you a celebration." ”

Chang Ning's expression was faintly melancholy, but Fuquan still looked down and waited silently.

Brother Mo Ruo, the emperor still saw it and asked, "What reward do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "It's better to wait for the younger brother to come back and ask for a reward, now I haven't made a big deal about it, and I don't speak hard." ”

The emperor also smiled and said, "Okay," and said: "You are now Prince Heshuo, and you can't be promoted, I really can't think of anything else to reward you?" As he spoke, he turned to Fuquan: "Does the second brother have any good ideas?" ”

These words made Fuquan frightened, and he didn't know what to say.

The emperor also knew that this brother was honest, and said with a smile: "The emperor's grandmother still talked about it last time, and the fifth brother was reluctant to start a family, so he must carefully pick a noble girl to come back and give him a bridle head." Anyway, this time I will return victoriously, and I will reward you with a good family. ”

Chang Ning's eyelashes moved, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then the younger brother has to pick a good one." ”

When Fuquan heard this, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at his younger brother, but did not say much.

The emperor patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will answer you." ”

Although Fuquan and Chang Ning repeatedly refused, the emperor still sent them to the palace gate in person.

Fuquan and the two of them originally entered from the noon gate, and when they left the Qianqing Palace, they walked in the direction of the Taihe Palace.

It was not early morning time, and the marble-paved road was deserted.

Fu Quan said: "The fifth brother is afraid that he will leave tomorrow, but he wants to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace?" ”

Chang Ning had to go to Cining Palace again, but did not mention the matter of the previous dynasty, only accompanied Xiaozhuang to say a while, this delay, the sky was dark, because of the 100,000 urgent errand, Chang Ning did not dare to delay, busy flying back home.

As soon as he entered the house, he assigned Mama Duan to pack his bags for him.

Chang Ning has often gone to the Xishan camp since he was a child, and Mama Duan is naturally familiar with packing up, and after a while, she will stare at the maid to pack up the daily wear of the inner steel leaf collar, the right narrow sleeves, the tuanhua gown, leather belt and combat boots.

Chang Nian called the palace steward to give instructions, returned to the banquet room, and saw that Mama Duan had asked someone to prepare her outfits, and she didn't check it, but only withdrew everyone, took out a brocade box from the desk drawer, and handed it to Mama Duan.

"When Mama entered the palace to ask the ancestor for peace, she sent this crystal stone seal to Yikun Palace by the way," he said word by word, clearly, as if he was afraid that Mama Duan would hear it, "Count me as a reciprocator for my peach." ”

Chang Ning has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, and it doesn't hurt to be lazy even if he is lazy, but if he doesn't do it well, don't blame him for his cold face, so Mama Duan didn't dare to be ambiguous, and listened to him: "If anything happens, Mama must remember to go to the outer courtyard to find Master Yan, and be sure to ask him to pass on the news to me." ”

Mama Duan naturally understood what he meant, her eyes sank, and her blessed body should be.

It was not early now, so Chang Ning ordered Zhang Dasheng to go to the military headquarters to report in person, and went back to the study to sort out the codex papers, just waiting for the military department to prepare the message and not mention it.

It was only said that the next day, Shu Shujue Luo returned to Prince Gong's Mansion from the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion for a banquet, thinking that this was the first time to attend the occasion on behalf of the palace, so he first went to the outer study to see Chang Ning, and saw him dressed in a tight-sleeved flower gown, sitting on a rosewood openwork chair in the hall to wipe his sword.

So he stepped forward to ask for peace and asked, "Master, are you going out?" She wore an apricot yellow Wufu Tuanhua mopping Hunan skirt, and the gold-plated silk inlaid phoenix hairpin on the three mustaches, walked a little, and the thin phoenix tail trembled lightly because of trembling, which was extremely beautiful and elegant.

Chang Ning sighed, put the sword back into the cowhide scabbard, poured the handle left and right, seemed to be testing the weight of the sword, and asked casually: "Are you happy today?" ”

Because Shu Shujue Luo has children by her side, and she can come forward on behalf of the palace, the wives of those serious aristocratic families are also very decent to her concubine, plus there is a mention of Mama Duan on the side, she is smart and gentle, but she talked very happily with the female dependents, and before leaving, several ladies said that they would invite her to come over to the house for tea.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and told in detail what she had seen and heard in the palace: "The ladies are all very polite and friendly, and I don't know who came up with the method, put the stage in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, across the water, the sound is far and near, and it seems to be mixed with the sound of water, which is very good...... Originally, all the ladies were listening to the play in the water pavilion, but suddenly they heard that there was a mess on the other side of the lake, and Mrs. Ninghou hurriedly sent the maid to ask, but it was the six grids on the Yipin Guogong Mansion that fell into the water......"

She was sitting on the small pestle next to the Taishi's chair, and before the words fell, she felt that the muscles of the man next to her stiffened, so she secretly blamed herself for her back, and said these words before he went out, and said busily: "Fortunately, the second grandmother in the Hou Mansion is doing old things, and she is busy directing the boat lady to go into the water, and she is also called to prepare a cotton mattress, and the person is also saved." ”

Chang Ning turned his head to look at her, his voice was slow, but faintly mixed with some eagerness: "Which Liugege is it?" ”

She didn't think much about it, but replied: "I don't know the concubine very well, I only heard that this sister of Liugege is still the master of the palace......

As she spoke, she saw Chang Ning push her away, stood up, and strode to the bottom of the corridor, but turned back again, as if something big had happened, she had never seen the prince so anxious, and she was at a loss for a while.

She trembled and got up, but did not dare to come near, but stood at a distance, and saw him whisper something to the maid at the door, and turned and went out of the door.

The maid Pei Pei stepped forward and said, "The prince just asked the slave where Mama Duan was, thinking that something had assigned her." ”

Shu Shujue Luo was ashamed and resentful in his heart, and he had the heart to go to Chang Ning to explain a few sentences, but he didn't want to show it on his face to make people laugh, but secretly calculated in his heart, he was only afraid that he was going to go out, and he thought that there were a lot of foreign men in the front yard, if he lost his manners, he would make people laugh and ruin the reputation he had saved in the past, so it was better to wait for the prince to come back and make plans.

Shu Shujue Luo remembered the general's wife's smile again: "I'm afraid that the most worrying thing about this son is not the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion." When she pretended to be stupid and asked, the lady smiled and said, "Who knows...... I'm afraid that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family......"

She thought about it several times, and only vaguely remembered that someone whispered about the Gege of Tong Mansion......
