Seeing the smile on the corner of Liu Yao's mouth, the girl in the palace costume couldn't help but stir up and said, "Sixth brother, did that cat provoke you...... Why are you smiling so weirdly! ”

Liu Xi on the side also echoed: "That's it!" I laughed so hard that I got goosebumps all the time, and it felt like a tiger that had been hungry for a long time saw what it was eating! ”

Liu Yao turned his head faintly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What are you talking about?" Say it again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liu Xi and the girl in the palace costume glanced at each other, and hurriedly said, "No, I didn't say anything!" ”

Liu Yao smiled and didn't speak, and with a sweep of the corner of his eyes, he saw a little guy waiting at the door as if he had something to say, so he waved his hand and motioned for the little guy to come in. After the little guy whispered a few words, Liu Yao's eyes lit up inexplicably.

Liu Xi began to drum in his heart when he saw Liu Yao's expression, every time the sixth brother appeared with this look, it proved that something big had happened.

"Sixth brother, what's wrong?" As soon as the little guy retreated, Liu Xi asked.

Liu Yao said calmly: "King Pingnan won a great victory in the Battle of Haizhou, but in the battle, King Pingnan unfortunately fell from his horse, injured his muscles and bones, and could not lead the soldiers, and now he asks the imperial court to send another general over." ”

……

"Haqiu!" Pianjiao was lying on the hammock set up by Linglong to take a nap, suddenly felt the tip of the nose itching, couldn't help sneezing, opened his eyes in a daze, just saw a long yellow tail hanging down from a branch above his head, Pianjiao was frightened to wake up completely, looking up along the tail, a big yellow cat squinted slightly, shrunk into a ball, the long tail hung down, and there was a pair of dangling.

Pian said helplessly: "What are you doing if you don't sleep with such a good sun." ”

I saw our big yellow cat, got up elegantly, stretched a noble lazy waist, shook its body proudly, meowed, jumped up to the roof from the branches over there, looked at the roof again, and then lay on the roof and fell asleep......

Looking at everything that happened in front of him in astonishment, he could only sigh helplessly, lay down again, looked at the sky through the cracks in the leaves, and slowly fell asleep.

At this moment, a small step interrupted the idea of continuing to rest, this step sounded familiar, like Ah Lan, but how could Ah Lan be so anxious?

While Pianqiu was still thinking, Ah Lan pushed open the door and rushed in hurriedly.

"Miss, Miss! Oh no! ”

"What's the matter?" Pian stoodled up and asked in a hoarse voice that had just woken up.

Ah Lan trotted to Pianjiao and said, "The prince of Pingnan has fallen from his horse and can't walk." ”

"What?" Pianqiu frowned, thought for a moment, calmed down and said, "Who did you hear from that?" ”

"I just received a letter from Wu Qing, and he said so." Ah Lan said and handed over the letter in his hand and walked in front of him. Pianjiao took it, glanced at it a few times, and his face was a little solemn. The war is not over yet, and the commander will be discouraged, which will make the morale of the army unstable. For today's plan, the only way to change the coach, now familiar with the situation in the south, and capable of taking over several generals under the command of King Pingnan, is probably only Zhao Xu, the son of King Pingnan. Besides, the king of Pingnan was fighting with a crime, and now that the situation in the south is clear, the widow must not be arrogant for long, how can the Zhao family give this great merit to others.

But the trouble is that Zhao Xu is the eldest son of the king of Pingnan, and he is also the only son-in-law, and Zhao Xu has not yet married, if Zhao Xu has any three long and two short, then the branch of the Pingnan palace will be broken. The elders of the Zhao family may not necessarily take this risk. Plus the Queen Mother's side...... Although the Queen Mother is in stable condition, it may not necessarily not relapse, if something happens to Zhao Xu to stimulate the Queen Mother, even Emperor Wen can't afford it.

So it's a dilemma.

I don't know what kind of attitude the Pingnan Mansion has now.

Pianqiu put down the letter in his hand and asked, "Wu Qing doesn't have anything else besides giving you this letter?" ”

Ah Lan thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "Also, there is still ......"

"What?"

"Does the sugar gourd you gave me count?"

"Sugar gourd? Don't you dislike eating sugar gourds? Her eyes couldn't help but glance at the letter again.

Ah Lan said indignantly: "That's it! He forgot! Be sure to scold him! ”

As if thinking of something, she sneered: "I'm afraid that is not Wu Qing's original intention." ”

"Huh? Miss, you don't have to say good things to Wu Qing! Obviously he forgot! Ah Lan thought that Pianjiao was just persuading himself, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing Ah Lan like this, he shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I don't want to participate in these things of you!" Go and get me the sugar gourd. ”

"Yes......" Ah Lan went back to get the sugar gourd.

Pianqiu picked up the letter on the table and looked at it carefully, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart. Hopefully it won't be what I thought it would be......

Sure enough, the first word of each sentence is connected to a sentence, today's Shen Shi Yixin Inn.

The handwriting is Wu Qing's, yes, but what he wants to convey is not what Zhao Xu meant, otherwise Wu Qing would not have known that Ah Lan didn't like sugar gourds and gave them away. This is just a reminder. Moreover, Zhao Xu knew that after Pianjiao returned to Luofu, he would inevitably be monitored by the Zhou family, and he would not come and go freely, and he would not meet so rashly regardless of Pianjiao's situation. And there are only a few people who can make Wu Qing do this, and now she is the only one who is still in the capital. She's really going to pick the time to find me...... I'm afraid it's not good.

When Ah Lan came back with the sugar gourd, Pianqi had already entered the back room, I don't know if he noticed that Pianqi's mood was not very good, the cat was quiet, just lazily lying under the eaves basking in the sun and falling asleep. Ah Lan tripped without paying attention for a moment, but immediately ran to the back room.

"Miss, the sugar gourd is here......"

Pian glanced at the sugar gourd, stretched out his hand and took it: "I really ate it." ”

"Eat, eat, anyway, I don't like this sweet and sour thing." Alan didn't care.

Pianjiao took a bite of the sugar gourd, the sweetness hit the taste buds, and the eyebrows and eyes gradually relaxed. Whenever there is sorrow and depression, she will eat some sweets to soothe her mood. After eating a string of sugar gourds, he took the handkerchief handed by Ah Lan, pressed the corners of his mouth, and said, "Ah Lan, get ready, go to the Yixin Inn tomorrow." ”

"What are you going to do there?" Alan wondered: "Luofu is not as pure as the mind, there are people watching all around, and it is not so easy for the young lady to go out......"

"So, I'm not going to leave the house." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

Emperor An Wen received a secret report from the front and urgently sent several important ministers to the imperial study.

"What do you think?" Emperor An Wen calmly looked at the several important ministers who were talking to each other.

One of the middle-aged yellow-bearded men stepped forward and said, "Weichen thinks that the prince of Pingnan is indeed going to cultivate for a while, and it is imperative to change the coach, and now the worry is who is more suitable for the position of the coach." The minister thought that Zhao Xu, the son of the king of Pingnan, was the most suitable. The Pingnan Wang family has been guarding the south for nearly 40 years, and has a certain foundation in the south, and the prince of Pingnan has grown up in Xuzhou since he was a child, and knows its terrain very well, so the minister elected the prince of Pingnan as the commander. ”

Emperor An Wendi looked calm and did not comment.

At this time, a slightly younger official retorted: "But the son of the world is less than two decades, and I am afraid that the experience is insufficient." And the chaotic people are the most cunning, and the minister thinks that he should change the commander who can fight well, and the minister elects Qi Huaiming, the prince of Zhenguo. ”

Qi Huaiming, three years ago, just took over the mantle of the old town Guogong, when the foreign enemy invaded in the north, Qi Huaiming only led 3,000 soldiers and horses to break the enemy's 30,000 troops, and captured the enemy commander, and became famous in a war. The Zhenguo Mansion has produced capable ministers in the past generations, and there must be tiger generals from generation to generation, but I don't know if the evil spirit is too heavy, the heirs of the Zhenguo Mansion wither, and men often die before they live to be forty. In this generation, only Qi Huaiming and one of his younger brothers are left to support the portal.

"What the two adults said is very true, but the minister feels that what the two adults think is inappropriate, whether it is Pingnan Wangfu or Zhenguo Mansion, the two families are not prosperous, and the Pingnan Wang's descendants have a Zhao Xu in this generation, and the Zhenguo Mansion has always been not prosperous, and this generation only has Qi Huaiming and a concubine. Besides, they are not married yet, if there are any three longs and two shorts, these two founding nobles will be extinct...... Therefore, the minister thought that he could send a good son from another family. An old man in a crimson python robe said slowly.

"What Lord Fu said is very true." A bearded courtier said: "So the minister recommended Li Yao, the second-class guard with a knife in the Yulin Army, Li Yao is the martial champion of Tianyu for ten years, and then followed King Zhao through the seven major battles in the north, experienced a hundred battles, and the minister thought he was the most suitable." ”

"Lord Wang also said that Li Yao experienced the northern campaign, this time it was in the south, even if he was experienced in a hundred battles, it was not of much use, the terrain in the south was diverse, and there was a lot of water, so the minister thought that it was most appropriate to send Xie Wenfang, who had experience in water warfare, to Xu Zhou."

"If you talk about water fights, the prince of Pingnan is even more outstanding......"

"No, no, no, Qi Huaiming, who has wisdom, is the most suitable ......"

"Li Yaocai is the most suitable ......"

……

Soon, the imperial study was noisy again, Emperor Wen was accustomed to seeing this messy situation, his face was calm, and the people who were arguing were actually secretly observing Emperor Wen's every move, seeing that Emperor Wen had no movement at all, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart. Soon the study was quiet again.

"Done arguing?" Emperor Wen said in a flat tone.

"Wechen was terrified...... "When the ministers saw this, they all knelt down.

"Tell me the results."

"Weichen is incompetent, and he can't share his worries and sorrows for the emperor."

Emperor Wen said calmly: "Then Wang Xi told me how long King Pingnan's side can last." ”

The bearded minister said: "The prince fought this battle very well, and the thieves were greatly injured, and the prince took advantage of the victory to pursue the east and besiege the remnants of the thieves in Xuzhou City. In the west, three tiger generals led heavy troops to press the thieves' lair step by step, and according to this situation, the prince could guarantee that the south would not make a big mess because of his injuries for three months. ”

"He's also smart, and this opportunity is the right time for the manager's handover." Emperor Wen's tone was as flat as ever.
