A few days after Gu Yan left, there was a heavy snowfall in the northwest, and the little maids were playing with snowmen in the yard, watching them smile, but Bai Lian couldn't lift her spirits.

First worried about Gu Yan, and then worried about Jingzhong, and after worrying about all this, he was worried about what would happen to Gu Yan when he arrived.

Bai Lian could almost imagine the Yan family's attitude towards Gu Yan after this matter subsided.

It's definitely crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!

It really did what she thought before, and neither left nor right.

Gu Yan said that he knew it in his heart, but Bai Lian had no bottom in his heart, so after thinking about it for a few days, he was worried in vain, so he didn't want to think about it.

This is not the time when you were in Beijing before, when you could control the situation, but now you are allowed to use all kinds of schemes, but there is nowhere to go, only the most simple and direct means: force.

Bai Lian only learned a few days later that Gu Yan had left Song Ji in the northwest and entered Beijing with a few other subordinates.

Song Ji was born and died with Gu Yan several times, leaving Song Ji in order to have no worries.

Gu Yan spoiled the new lady, and everyone in the General's Mansion knew about it, and gradually, the officials of Rongcheng also knew that now that the new lady was in the Northwest General's Mansion, the families of those officials came to visit every once in a while.

Bai Lian followed Queen Yan in her previous life, what kind of powerful relatives, the princess has never seen a wife, in the northwest land, there will be no more than two women with more than three grades, and those officials of the family, Bai Lian is ready to be captured.

Neither too close, nor too distant, the kind of bearing and posture around people make people feel a kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts, these officials and ladies in the northwest have seen it, and there is no one who does not secretly praise it.

Among them, the most diligent one came to the General's Mansion, and the garrison lady of Rongcheng was counted.

Bai Lian's days in the northwest were still short, and he didn't know the root of many things here, so he asked Steward Gu and thoroughly touched these officials in the northwest.

In this way, Bai Lian knew that Wang Zhixiang, the garrison of Rongcheng, was a protégé of the Yan family at the beginning, after Gu Yan gradually took control of the northwest, Wang Zhixiang did not have too much contact with the Yan family, plus Wang Zhixiang's official reputation was good, and he governed Rongcheng well, Gu Yan thought about it for a long time, and did not embarrass him, and now he is safe and stable in Rongcheng garrison.

Wang Zhixiang's wife is a stepfamily, and now she is only in her early twenties, and now Gu Yan is not in the northwest, and she knows that the new lady is from Beijing and is not familiar with the northwest, so she is attentive and thoughtful to introduce the customs and customs of the northwest to Bailian.

Gu Yan often reported that he was safe, and he had been away for almost a month, and the letter of peace had already come twice, and Bai Lian looked at the handwriting on it, and gradually felt at ease.

He is such a thoughtful and safe person, you should be at ease with him.

At this time, the Northwest Army, according to the established speed, should have arrived in the capital, but at this time, it was camped in Pingcheng, which was still five hundred miles away from Beijing.

The reason is that the snow is difficult to walk, and the soldiers can only move forward when the snow melts and the weather is warm.

When the news reached Beijing, the Empress Dowager angrily broke a set of tea cups and was deflated. What snow is difficult to walk, the soldiers are unbearable and frozen, the climate in the northwest is much colder than in Beijing, and he froze to death without seeing him Gu Yan.

Half a month ago, because the Goryeo army pressed the border, the Chu army in Liaodong had to turn back halfway, and at this time, only the Northwest Army could rely on.

If the soldiers and horses in the hands of the Yan family are sufficient, but those people in the Gyeonggi camp are mixed, and it is difficult to resist the Praetorian Guards controlled by the Wu family.

From the original division of the struggle, to now the Yan family's manpower has been forced into the imperial city, and the capital is full of Praetorian Guards.

In such a disadvantageous situation, she can't help but bow her head!

If this is not the case, where can the Northwest Army be hypocritical!

The original concubine, the queen mother at this time, looked at her aunt and was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything on the side, and it took a long time to hear the queen mother grit her teeth, as if the voice came from between her teeth:

"Spread the decree of Yi, give the Northwest Army 100,000 armaments, and order it to enter Beijing immediately!"

Isn't it just to sit on the ground and start the price, just give it to him, but let's see what else he Gu Yan will do!

When the news arrived in Pingcheng, Gu Yan didn't have too many expressions, only Luo Xin said on the side:

"If Emperor Ren has half the mind of the Empress Dowager, the throne will not be in the hands of Emperor Hui."

Gu Yan agreed with this sentence.

The warbler Yanyan in Emperor Ren's palace, if it weren't for the Yan family's pressure when she was the queen, I am afraid that the sky would have turned upside down.

Including the things in Beijing today, in Gu Yan's eyes, it is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

On the surface, Lu Ye is a person who saw Zhou Hongwen after Zhou, and all the edicts were taken out of his hands, if you talk about it, Zhou Hongwen's death is inseparable from him.

However, there was one thing that Gu Yan noticed.

That is, after Zhou Hongwen's death, it is very doubtful that the Yan family can get the tiger talisman of the Gyeonggi camp so quickly.

If everything was led by Lu Ye, the Yan family would only be more passive, how could they react so quickly.

In this change of imperial power, the Yan family is afraid that it is not so clean.

The queen mother of the Yan family, and now the biological mother of the new emperor is a very small person, and I am afraid that these are all the decisions of the queen mother.

Luo Xin saw that Gu Yan didn't speak, but there was a look of approval on his face.

After that, they talked about the situation in Liaodong, and Luo Xin knew that Goryeo's sudden army pressure was a strategy of his own general, just to support the hind legs of the Chu army.

In this dispute in the capital, the Liaodong Army was left out.

Luo Xin had to praise Gu Yan with a loud voice.

Moreover, Luo Xin didn't think there was anything bad about such a method, if it weren't for the fact that the Chu family had the same mind of "raising self-respect" as the Yan family at the beginning, how could they be restrained now.

Most of the Northwest Army's military strength this time poured out, and the original strong enemy in the desert did not dare to act rashly.

Luo Xin knew this, and it was overkill to keep Song Ji in the northwest, but there was something more important in the northwest than guarding the border, that is, the general's wife stayed in the northwest.

If there is no one who makes Gu Yan trust and rely on him wholeheartedly, I am afraid that Gu Yan will not be able to deliver his wife's safety with peace of mind.

There was often friction between Goryeo and the Liaodong Army, and this time it was at most thunder and rain, and after the Liaodong Army turned back, the two armies were at most deadlocked for a month.

That's enough for this time!

On the second day, the army was marching slowly, and although the soldiers were puzzled, they obeyed the order absolutely.

The military orders issued by Gu Yan have never been missed.

Zhou Deyin knew that the queen mother was very angry today, and her sensitivity to the imperial power was not good, these things had her own queen mother, and it was not her turn to worry about them.

In the evening, she asked the female officials around her to go to the imperial dining room to order a few desserts that the Empress Dowager loved, and personally took them to Yongshou Palace.

When he arrived at Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was still angry about the things in the daytime, and Zhou Deyin comforted her when she saw this: "Don't be angry, General Gu has been attacked by the imperial court for half a year, and it is normal to have some resentment in his heart. ”

When it came to Gu Yan, the Empress Dowager was still angry.

When Zhou Deyin saw her appearance, he sighed sadly and said: "Speaking of which, it is also that his daughter has no fate with him, if it was at this time, no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, it would always be our own people." ”

The Empress Dowager immediately heard what Zhou Deyin meant.

At the beginning, she showed her love for Gu Yan in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but Gu Yan bluntly refused.

Later, Zhou Deyin gave Yan Heather a marriage, but Yan Heather made a fuss about giving birth in the outer room in the spring of this year, Zhou Deyin was not happy, and now there is an excuse, no matter whether the mother and son in the outer room are dead or alive, she refuses to marry, so that it has been delayed until now.

Now that Zhou Deyin is ahead of schedule, the Empress Dowager also let out a long sigh.

Gu Yan, if it were his son-in-law, it would indeed be the best!

But it was too late.

Zhou Deyin saw that the expression on her face was relaxed, so she tried to say: "Have you ever thought about it, after King Qin this time, how will the Northwest Army be placed?" How is General Gu rewarded? ”

The Empress Dowager frowned, she had thought about this, but it was very troublesome to implement.

Gu Yan is different from others, he is resolute and very tricky, and it is not easy to elevate his military power.

Zhou Deyin continued: "With his current momentum, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress him, so the queen mother might as well win him over and let him become her own person." ”

The Empress Dowager didn't understand Zhou Deyin's meaning too much, and looked at her and asked puzzledly: "How to become your own person?" ”

Zhou Deyin's face turned red, he bit his lower lip and knelt in front of her and said, "Please also ask the queen mother to fulfill her son's infatuation." ”

Zhou Deyin knelt down, and she immediately understood.

It turned out that she still had such thoughts, and the Queen Mother was a little unhappy in her heart. Her daughter is the only princess of Emperor Zhaoren, she should have the pride of a princess, how can she be so shameless for a man, besides, Gu Yan is already married.

"Ayin, the queen mother has never restrained you since she was a child, but you have lived more and more back, and you are not sensible when you were a child, Gu Yan can resist the decree once, and he will resist the decree a second time. What's more, now that he has a wife, as the eldest princess, do you want to be a concubine? ”

By the end, she was already angry.

Zhou Deyin listened to her words, and she was not afraid in her heart, but she had thought about it long before she came. Even if the queen mother is angry, she will also say everything.

"The queen mother, it was the beginning, and now it is now, when he was lowly powerful, he could no longer return to the northwest to make contributions to the northwest when he became a horse, he was an aspiring man, how could he lose his ambition for the sake of idleness and wealth. Now that he is in power, his daughter is willing to marry into Gumen, he is not a colt, and he will not miss his ambition in life. has a connection with the royal family, he is no longer the general from a poor family, so he has become a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is closely related to us, this has become his own person! ”

It is not impossible for the Empress Dowager to listen to what Zhou Deyin said.

If Gu Yan is smart enough, he will know that joining forces with the Yan family is a win-win situation, the new emperor has half of the Yan family's blood on his body, and the Yan family will only become more prosperous in the future, and Gu Yan is just a general with military power, and the background of the Yan family cannot be compared.

In this way, there is no need to waste effort to deal with him, even if you want to deal with him, you can take your time.

Then, she let out a long sigh and said, "It's useless to talk about it now, he already has a wife." ”

Zhou Deyin's face was full of resentment, and said, "Wife's room? How long Lu Ye has kept the cheap people of the Bai family by his side, others don't know, but I know. Gu Yan must have been deceived by her now, men can't stand such a thing, what will he think when he finds out? Besides, even if he is greedy for beauty now, waiting for people to disappear, how long can he be infatuated? A man's heart is full of big things, and after a long time, no matter what the immortals will forget. ”

Others don't know, but she knows, Gu Yan of the previous generation had wasted his mind on women, until the year she died, Gu Yan had been the emperor for eight years, and there were only a few concubines in the harem, and most of them were relatives of brothers who were born and died with him.

Zhou Deyin's words made the Empress Dowager fall into deep thought.

It's already mid-December, and it's almost the Chinese New Year. Bai Lian didn't expect that the first year in the northwest would be by herself.

Gu Yan hadn't heard from him for half a month, and Bai Lian didn't know about him.

Steward Gu didn't talk to Bai Lian about Gu Yanjun's affairs, however, Steward Gu didn't feel uneasy in his expression, Bai Lian thought, probably he was all in order.

Bailian also prepared New Year's goods in the house with peace of mind.

However, one thing has happened in the Northwest these days.

I don't know where a group of robbers came out, and I don't know if it was the remnants of the Qiang people or some good people who fell into the grass, they always burned and looted near Rongcheng, and when the officers and soldiers went, they disappeared.

According to the surviving villagers, there are not many people, about a dozen people, but they are tall and fierce, and ordinary people are difficult to resist.

This incident can give the officers and soldiers of Rongcheng a headache, and this matter has been passed around, and it has reached Song Ji's ears.

Song Ji thought to himself, isn't this a tooth extracted from the tiger's mouth, not long after Gu Yan left, there was a small haunt, Song Ji was young and vigorous, and immediately took away the errand of catching the thief.

One day, Song Ji got the news that it was a village a hundred miles away from Rongcheng, and there were signs before those robbers appeared, thinking that someone had detected the wind and was waiting to come and plunder the village.

After Song Ji found out, he immediately led a team of people to ambush near that village.

Bai Lian also knew about this gang of robbers, and Liu Shoubei's wife had mentioned it a few times, but she didn't feel at ease.

There is another half month for the New Year, although there is no need for Bailian to be busy, but it is not a little wasteful, and after a few days of hard work, I feel a little tired, and I went to sleep without eating dinner.

When she slept until the night, Bai Lian only felt as if there was a fire burning in her throat, and it was so hot that people couldn't breathe.

When she opened her eyes, she felt like she was in a dream.

There was smoke drifting in through the crack in the door, and there was a fire outside the window, and she slammed it up, twisting herself, and grinning in pain to know that it was not a dream.

As she got out of bed, she shouted: "Someone, there's a fire, put out the fire!" ”

She was answered by the sound of sneering flames, and no one responded.

Bai Lian was horrified in her heart, how deaf and clear the two of them were, how could they wait until they found out about the fire and shouted for fire, as if no one was vacant in the general's mansion!

Bai Lian put on her shoes, hurriedly ran to the door, and pulled a few times, only to find that the door was locked from the outside!
