General Gu brought back half of the tiger talisman representing the military power in the hands of King Luo's Mansion from Northern Xinjiang, as the princess of the General's Mansion, Xia Chu naturally knew about it, and he didn't hear about it from the mouths of others, but it was his father-in-law who talked about it in the council hall after returning to the mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The men in the General's Mansion are now only General Gu's father and son, and General Gu has never shied away from talking about the affairs of the court in front of his female dependents - even when General Gu is still there, Old Lady Gu and the Wen family never need to avoid it because of this.

Because his mother and wife are both intelligent and far-sighted women, General Gu has never underestimated them!

As for the new daughter-in-law, who has been of the same sex in the north and at home in the past few years, the wife's words are full of satisfaction with her, and although she has not made any particularly surprising moves, she has always maintained the income and expenditure of the general's mansion at an appropriate degree - the income of the whole mansion has been increasing, but it is not spicy and eye-catching.

Of course, this is only what outsiders see.

In Wen's words, it seems that their family is just a little better than before, but in fact, the living standard of the family has directly jumped to a higher level, the food and clothing are more elaborate than before, and the furniture has been replaced with low-key and unassuming, and old objects that are valuable enough to be heirloom for a hundred years......

When he read what was written in his wife's letter, he didn't think about it, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he came back and saw the two stone lions in front of the door, he had a faint premonition.

When he was young, he fought everywhere and traveled south and north to grow a lot of knowledge, so he knew that the two stone lions that looked like they were carved from ordinary stones before, looked like they had not changed, but in fact, they were unique alpine stones from the south of Dali, with a more delicate and smooth texture, which looked ordinary and ordinary, but in fact they were luxurious and low-key......

Of course, the price is also 100 times that of ordinary stone lions!

As for what white jade paperweight after entering the house, the antique blue and white porcelain mandarin duck neck bottle of the previous dynasty is nothing...... The most important thing is that he actually has an extra cold iron heavy sword in his arsenal that he has always wanted, but is reluctant to buy!

Wen said with a disapprecalcitrant face: "Your daughter-in-law bought it, and she also lost it to her daughter's family, and she actually took it back with her own hands!" "Of course, he can't carry it to ordinary people......

Wen really tried, it's really very heavy! Of course she won't shake it with her own hands, otherwise she will have to smash the instep of her foot! But the guards in the house are very difficult to carry! Her daughter-in-law actually held it in her hand as easily as if she was carrying a pig-killing knife!

…… In other words, comparing the pig-killing knife to the cold iron sword, isn't this analogy a bit unreliable?

General Gu was speechless, and couldn't help but look at his son with a sympathetic eye...... Is it really good for your daughter-in-law to be so capable?

Gu Teng straightened his chest, and his face was full of wide noodles and tears: "Dad, when I can move it, you must let me try it!" "It's not as strong as my daughter-in-law or something...... I can't afford to hurt it! In other words, she is actually humble on the bed!

…… It's far away, let's get down to business.

General Gu returned to Beijing that day, and judging from the fact that the emperor personally greeted him, he must have known in his heart that what he wanted had been obtained...... When he returned from the palace, the tiger talisman was no longer in the hands of the general.

But he told his family about it anyway.

In fact, there is no substantive contradiction between him and Luo Wangfu, and the two families have no grievances or hatreds, of course, they are not opposed. But it's just that in the emperor's heart, they can't stand on the same line, so they have to look at each other unpleasantly.

This time he went to northern Xinjiang, and Wang Ye Luo was tired both inside and outside of his words.

The king with a different surname is not so easy to be, the prince is an identity that can only be owned by the royal family, and giving a person with a foreign surname is said to be a favor, but it is also a reminder. reminded the later emperors not to forget the great military exploits of the Luo Palace, so that they can have their current throne...... There is nothing wrong with Taizu's approach, but he is an emperor with a broad heart, so he can regard the brothers who fought together as relatives and are willing to share the country with their children and grandchildren.

But he forgot that not every emperor can have the same mind as him!

What's more, the emperor is a strange creature, and while they are sitting on the country, they are afraid that someone will take away this splendid mountain and river.

If the emperor is just worried, then the princes of those royal families are Chiguoguo's dissatisfaction!

Why, a person with a foreign surname can be the same king as them, and why, even with a transcendent status, is a little higher than them!

People's hearts are inherently fickle and selfish.

In fact, it is already strange that the Luowang Mansion can last for several generations and not fall so far. Even though the people of the Luo Wangfu can stick to their hearts and not get carried away by this splashing wealth, the leniency of the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty can also be seen.

The allusion to the death of the cunning rabbit and the lackey is not just talking!

Today, the country is stable, although the military power is heavy, but there is no decisive role, and it is logical that the current emperor wants to take back the military power...... What's more, since the first emperor, I am afraid that I already have this idea.

Otherwise, why let the daughter of the Zhao family be the princess and even sit on the throne of the queen?

The first emperor agreed to the marriage of the empress dowager, not only because of his filial piety, but even very likely, this is what he meant, and the empress dowager just followed the will of the first emperor!

Lord Luo is not a reckless person, even if he has been guarding the northern frontier, he has also learned from the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and ordinary conspiracies and tricks are not in his eyes! If there were such stubborn fools in the Luo Wangfu, they would not have multiplied so far without any damage!

Prince Luo knew that the emperor was taboo, so he began to avoid the northern frontier for a longer time from the previous generation. But he didn't feel that the emperor would be satisfied with his concession, as long as the military power was in his hands for a day, the Luo Wangfu would not be easily ignored!

This time, the arrival of General Gu made him understand that his current desire to gather military power has been revealed.

He was really tired, his father did not know how many excellent children and grandchildren had lost for the peace of the northern frontier, but even so, he still had to be suspicious - he had many sons, but so what? But he didn't want to, and went on!

Besides, doesn't the emperor need it anymore?

Lord Luo "understands the righteousness" and directly handed over half of the tiger talismans, but not all of them, because he knew that the emperor was so suspicious, and he was happy to let go, but he was afraid that people would think that there was some conspiracy behind his back! It's better to let him spend his own time on 'recapturing' little by little, and he can rest assured!

General Gu felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.

It's hard to be a general! Don't look at the civil servants who are always facing all kinds of problems, they will be degraded at every turn, but these generals, they seem to have nothing to do in the court on weekdays, they are very leisurely, but in fact, they want to be a military attache who is not suspicious of the emperor, and they can't be mediocre and incompetent, which is not an easy thing!

The Gu family has always been royalists, that is to say, before the crown prince was established and ascended the throne, they were only loyal to the reigning emperor, and it seemed that they were the safest and risk-free clan, but in fact, who could guarantee that the emperor who ascended the throne later would not hate them for being cold eyes when they took the throne?

At least, Gu Teng knew that the one in his previous life must be a grudge!

In this life, the second prince ascended the throne, and there are no signs yet, and many things related to the General's Mansion in the previous life have changed, which makes him very gratified, and after being reborn, he has made a lot of layouts, just to draw out the wolf's ambition, so that he can't ascend the throne! But for the current emperor who sat up, he was not completely relieved!

If he is still as naïve as he was in his previous life, what is the use of being reborn?

"Niangniang......" Xia Chu glanced at Zhao Yanran, this woman was obviously worried about her mother's family. Thinking about it, Prince Luo still loves this only daughter very much, and he didn't tell her about these twists and turns...... Even if she is the step-concubine of King Luo, she may not know his thoughts, otherwise, Zhao Yanran will definitely not be too concerned because of this. She moved her mouth, but only spit out a few words: "Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics......"

Zhao Yanran's expression was slightly gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "This palace knows." ”

Xia Chu was stunned, this was the first time she called herself the palace when the two of them were there.

It is a rule passed down from the ancestors that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, in order to fear that the concubines in the palace will interfere with the emperor because of their own families...... She must not be estranged from her, but because she thinks of her identity, right?

"It's not that I don't understand," Sure enough, Zhao Yanran immediately changed her words and smiled a little gloomily: "About the family, the mother concubine told me something and told me not to take care of it...... It's just that it's my maiden family after all, how can I not worry? What's more, Wu Qingyun ...... There are a lot of means, many concubines in the palace have been in her way, but the emperor is still very protective of her......"

Of course, a soft knife like the Wu family naturally has to be held in your hands!

The status of the Wu family is not high, that is, after Wu Qingyun was made a concubine, the emperor gave him some grace, but he never stepped into the circle at the center of power...... One is that the emperor does not allow it, and the other is that the Wu family is really not that material! Not to mention the parents, even among the few young descendants of the same generation as Xia Chu, there are no outstanding people!

can't be a pillar of the court, so naturally he can only be that knife!

Although it is a little rusty, it can't stand Wu Qingyun's whetstone to scrub from time to time!

Wu Qingyun is a reborn person, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the court - she can't figure out her 'previous life' at the beginning of the summer, how did a woman in the back house know about the affairs of the court, presumably this is also the heroine's 'golden finger' - as long as at a critical time, give the Wu family some tips, or even just put forward some point-to-the-point suggestions for today, it is enough to make the emperor unable to abandon the Wu family!

If the palace concubine is good, it will naturally help the family a lot!

It's just that Wu Qingyun's path doesn't seem to have been chosen.

Or maybe it is because there are too many uncertain factors in this world, which has led to the second prince's imperial road has never been as difficult and bumpy as described in the 'novel', and can only rely on Wu Qingyun's 'guidance', so that the emperor has never made a lot of love to her, which makes the importance of the Wu family significantly reduced!

And these uncertain factors, obviously, are mainly concentrated in the Xia family and the Gu family.

…… Perhaps, the second brother of the Xiao Wu clan is also one?

Wu Qingyun in the novel relied on the 'prophet' to win the favor and love of the second prince, married her as her own princess regardless of her status, and later directly became the queen, and she was even more obedient to her, she wanted to embarrass the Xia family, even if Xia Yan did not do anything wrong at that time, he could also 'exile' the Xia family in disguise, she wanted Xia Xue to live better than to die, she really fell for the rest of her life! had a bad reputation, but after the Xia family left, he was locked up in the ancestral hall by the Jin family, which is worse than a subordinate!

Of course, the Jin family didn't get anything good!

But this life ...... If she still wants to rely on these to win favor, it will be very difficult!

Gu Teng's existence always truncated the credit of the Wu family, even though they worked hard, but in the end, they could only get a small part of the benefits! The Wu family is not so important anymore, Wu Qingyun's ideas are always dispensable, and the emperor who easily ascended to the throne in this life will certainly not regard her as a treasure in his palm!

In this way, she wanted to rely on pampering to embarrass the Xia family, which became a joke.

I'm afraid that Wu Qingyun is also secretly hating at the moment.

In her eagerness to show her importance, she inevitably has to pick some sensitive things to do, such as ...... How to get rid of the thorn in the emperor's heart, Nine Princes!

For this once favored younger brother, there is not much brotherhood today. When he was beautiful, he never respected this brother! Brother and brother are respectful, and they also want their younger brother to be respectful, and only being a brother can be friendly, isn't it?

What's more, the Nine Princes have always been restless!

But no matter how he is, he is also his brother, even if he becomes a thorn in his side, he has to take into account the eyes of the world, and he can't do anything to him. Wu Qingyun broke through this point so nakedly, it almost made him have nothing to hide, with a sense of 'I know what you want', how can the emperor not be angry!

But on the contrary, Wu Qingyun really said what he was thinking, and after he calmed down, he couldn't help but wonder if she had the best of both worlds!

The emperor is so abnormal, but after General Gu sent the tiger talisman!

Zhao Yanran naturally wondered if Wu Qingyun had done something, such as an idea, that enabled the emperor to get half of the tiger talisman from his father's hands!

She had already seen the restless nature of Wu Qingyun and was wary of her, and after this incident, her defensive heart was raised to an inexplicable height!

This reminded her of Xia Bangqiu's warning back then...... And Xia Bangqiu, but when she was not married, she had already reminded her! She couldn't help but wonder, how did she know?

You know, Wu Qingyun is her cousin! (To be continued.) )
