Chapter 217: Anseong's Affairs
Qin Xixuan wanted to say something more, but he didn't speak again. I saw that he was uncomfortable, so I spoke: "Zheng Yu and I are old acquaintances, and we used to guard this Ancheng together back then, so it's ...... Very good friend. ”
Qin Xixuan pursed his lips and said, "Who can't see it." When you were guarding Ancheng just now, I was in this city, and although I had never met General Zheng, I had heard of his name. ”
I replied casually, "Really?" Then he's pretty famous. By the way, what about Zheng Yu? I got drunk with him, that ...... Chief Xun doesn't have any suspicions, does he?"
When Qin Xixuan heard me take the initiative to mention it, he said a little proudly: "He's even more drunk than you." It's just that he is very good, he sleeps when he is drunk, he is not good for you, he cries earth-shatteringly, and he sings loudly...... Therefore, we asked Xiaoliu and them to send him back to the room, and let his girl say to the outside world that he was caught a cold when he went out of the city yesterday, so he was on bed rest today. Anyway, I don't think he will wake up until the afternoon. ”
I wondered, "How could his little girl listen to you?"
Qin Xixuan pointed to Lan Ling, who was busy coming in and out next to him, and said, "Thanks to Lan Ling, she said that she knew some people from the General's Mansion, so we asked her to go with Xiao Liu, and sure enough, it was done." ”
Lan Ling also interjected with a smile: "It's also thanks to General Zheng that he didn't change the subordinates of the General's Mansion, and didn't I accompany the young lady to live in the General's Mansion for a while before?" At that time, they took good care of me, and this time I went, they naturally believed that I would not harm General Zheng. ”
I nodded: "In this way, I really want to thank Lan Ling." ”
Lan Ling smiled, "However, our plan didn't have much effect. I just went to ask, and General Zheng got up early in the morning and said that he was going to drill the team. Isn't Lord Qin going to have a military parade tomorrow? Maybe it's just to arrange this. ”
Qin Xixuan said suspiciously: "He woke up so quickly." I see that he is clearly more drunk than Miss. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? I also thought it was strange, so I asked those Sister Yun, oh, it's the big girl who takes care of General Zheng. Sister Yun said that there was nothing strange, General Zheng was drunk every day, and he never asked them to serve, saying that they were there. I'm afraid to scare anyone who doesn't dare to come. But every time they get drunk, the next day, they still go to drill or march vigorously, and they are used to it. It's just two or three years. General Zheng never drank anymore, but sat at dawn in the plum grove in the back garden, and no one listened to him......"
I know that what Zheng Yu said is true, but I can hear it from the mouths of others. But I was full of sadness. Perhaps the person who is most sorry for him in the world is me. I knew from the beginning that he liked me, and I never wanted to accept him, but I didn't seem to reject him outright. But I really didn't expect that his love was so deep that I really couldn't repay it. If one day, as he said, he can find another girl who is truly worthy of him and can afford him to give so much. How nice would that be......
After that day, Zheng Yu came to see me every day. I know this. But he couldn't avoid it, so he talked and laughed like a friend, but he didn't want to mention Jiang Yunxiu with him again.
It's just that one day, when I mentioned to him about entering the city that day, he was quite dissatisfied, and said, "I don't understand, why did you want me to bow my head that day?" The emperor is in the capital, we defend the country, fight outside, he sits back and enjoys his success, and points fingers. I don't understand the affairs of the government, I only know that no matter what mistake Ding Xiang has made, he has already resisted his fate, why should he even contact you? Doesn't he want to think about how you jumped from such a high tower in order to protect this Ancheng? If it weren't for you, Ancheng would have been lost a long time ago, what peace would he enjoy, and how would he have the opportunity to discuss what government affairs with the courtiers?"
I actually thought early on that he was so dissatisfied with Qin Xixuan because he was dissatisfied with the emperor, after all, Qin Xixuan was on patrol on behalf of the emperor's order this time, and now the whole country knows that Qin Xixuan is a celebrity around the emperor and his favorite courtier. But I was still shocked to hear him say it so suddenly.
I shook my head and said, "General Zheng is cautious." The defense of Anseong back then had already been counted as the general's credit, and I knew that the general would have won that battle even without me. I? It's just too much. ”
These are all true, even if I don't destroy the flag platform, Jiang Yunxiu can do the same with the help of Wan Yanyue. Even because of me, he gave up a good time to pursue Yan Bing, no, I forgot again, he let him go back to mess with Hu Zhen, where is it for me?
"How is that possible? Without you, how can we cut off the connection between the left and right armies? Without you, how can we boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city? Without you, how can we find out the spies in the city? It's all you, can you wipe it out?" Zheng Yu didn't know the inside story of Jiang Yunxiu's cooperation with Wan Yanyue at that time, so he naturally felt that all the credit was mine.
I sighed lightly and said, "Even if that's the case, what can you do now?" For the emperor, it's just a matter of face, but what about you? Didn't you let the emperor taboo you and find a way to get rid of you? You know that the king is weak, why should you touch his scales and put yourself in danger?"
When Zheng Yu heard this, he was a little happy, and said, "So, you forced me to obey that day for the sake of my ......."
I really didn't know where his point was, so I had to bow my face and say, "Who said that?" I just hope that the emperor will trust Qin Xixuan more and believe that he has the ability to solve problems. ”
This is also true, I hope that the emperor can trust him more because of the success of the labor army this time, and I also hope that he will take up the post of left minister as soon as possible, so that we are one step closer to the success of the plan.
Zheng Yu seemed to be a little unconvinced, but looking at my serious face, I didn't dare to say anything more.
After that, Qin Xixuan's official business also went very smoothly, maybe Zheng Yu cooperated properly, anyway, the defenders, inspections and one-on-one "performance interviews" were almost carried out, seeing that the New Year was approaching, we were also ready to return to Beijing after the New Year.
It snowed for several days, and the plum blossoms in the back garden were just right. It's just that I've been appreciating it for a long time, and some of them want to go out for a walk, but Lan Ling and Xiaoliu are blocked by the snow being too cold. It was easy to reach the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the weather finally cleared. I couldn't stay at home either, and I wanted to get out. Lan Ling couldn't stop it, so she went to find Ling Yunlai, who knew that Ling Yun thought about it and said: "I thought about it because I was bored and panicked, I didn't let her go out in the capital before, but now that I came to this Ancheng, I can let her go shopping." Xiaoliu, you can rest in the house today, and I will accompany the young lady out. (To be continued......)
