"The official family, the concubines think that the official family is still in An, and it is best to return to Chuzhou City."

Two days later, Ji Qingchen suddenly said this when he greeted him.

Not only Zhao Duanning conquered the gods, but there were several attendants standing inside and outside the imperial tent, and they looked up at her without a trace.

"The meaning of Mrs. Guo ......"

There was obviously some relief in Zhao Duanning's eyes.

He felt that a few days ago outside Bianliang City, there was no grace for her.

Even if there is no Lou Yun, what she wears on her body, what she wears on her head, her usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, including the three handsome horses when she fled for her life are all given by him to him.

Three teas and six meals, slaves and retainers, as long as he has it, she has it.

None of the female officials and chamberlains who came out of the palace around him dared to snub her.

She is only higher than Jiang Guogong's important minister in charge of military power.

"That's it. Wang Qing will discuss this matter with me. ”

After this big defeat, Zhao Duanning attached great importance to the loyalty of the people around him, and shook his head to ask her not to mention it again.

"The official family, Deputy Wang is loyal to the official family. It is inevitable that there will be a proposal to return to Chengdu Mansion by the Lord. But this is not the intention of the officials. ”

Ji Qingchen thought about it for several days before he had this idea.

In front of the eyeliners, ears and eyes inside and outside the account, she raised an opinion that was different from Wang Shiqiang, and said:

"The concubine thought that if the official family consulted with Deputy Prime Minister Wang, arranged the plan for the Third Northern Expedition, and then drove back to Chuzhou

The building was agreed upon. In this way, after the official family returns to the capital, not only will they have the opportunity to redress their previous shame, but Vice Prime Minister Wang will not have to worry about the safety of the official family. ”

Ultimately. Wang Shiqiang wanted to take Zhao Duanning back to Chengdu Mansion, but Zhao Duanning himself was too timid to return to Lin'ancheng.

He was also afraid of returning from defeat. The human heart is not attached.

In this comparison, it can be seen that his ancestor Zhao Taizong is not an ordinary person.

To use a phrase from the afterlife. That's the path you choose, and you have to finish it on your knees.

Even if he is pretending to be a grandson, he has to go back to the capital to continue to be the emperor, who dares to talk about the defeat, and they will all be convicted of the crime.

Ji Qingchen was still talking to Zhao Duanning in the tent, and Wang Shiqiang knew it clearly in a blink of an eye.

Mrs. Guo said that the Northern Expedition could not be achieved overnight, and if the official family could convince Vice Minister Wang, they would naturally be able to move the Prime Minister. With the support of two important ministers in charge of the army. The imperial sisters-in-law in Lin'an City and the old ministers of the political hall are at least half of them sure. ”

Now that he is back in the capital, Zhao Duanning is indeed in danger, whether it is iron-fisted suppression or pretending to be a grandson, he can't prevent people from being unconvinced.

But if you don't pretend to be a grandson and don't take this risk, there is no possibility of turning over in the future.

"She knows it's not up to me."

Wang Shiqiang's face was swollen, and it was inconvenient to go out to meet people, so he only said:

"Mrs. Guo is still crying? Ready for dinner? ”

"Mrs. Guo has started to eat in the past two days. I didn't cry at night. Now the official family has kept her to eat. ”

Wang Shiqiang simply recuperated in the tent and waited until the swelling subsided slightly. It doesn't look ugly enough to make people laugh.

He just got out of his big account of the Chinese army.

"Where is Mrs. Guo?"

He withdrew from Zhao Duanning and called Zuo Ping.

Zuo Ping wanted to persuade him, let him slow down, don't worry.

"Sir. Ji Niangzi's temperament ......"

It's best not to provoke her when she's angry.

"Master, why don't you wait for Ji Niangzi to go to Chuzhou and talk to Lou Xianggong before going to see her?"

Ren and Lou Yun really didn't want to go over. Will you go to her again and offer your courtesy?

Haven't had enough of it?

Wang Shiqiang glanced at him, obviously in no mood to listen to opinions.

"Ji Chenhu is coming to Xijing? He was supposed to pick up his sister. Let's think about dragging him down the road. ”

"Yes. Master. ”

Zuo Ping could only say:

"Mrs. Guo has gone to incense."

The 500 guards opened the road in front and back, and marched along the turbid Yellow River. Wang Shiqiang went to the Three Sacred Temples five miles away.

"It turns out that there is also a statue of Xu Zhenjun here."

His footsteps stopped on the side hall of the Three Saints Temple, laughed, and looked at Ji Qingchen's figure of worshipping incense inside.

On the main hall of the Three Holy Temples, there are three Taoist Zuns: Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and Taiyi Zhenren.

Xu Zhenjun on the side hall was a meritorious magistrate in the five dynasties, and was worshiped as a water god by the people.

Tangfang also has Xu Zhenjun Taoist Temple.

When the sea ship travels, it will pray for the blessing of Xu Zhenjun.

In the mist of incense, she inserted the three pillars of incense into the incense burner, and only then did she turn her head to look at him when she heard his footsteps entering the temple.

He stared at her, and she looked back calmly.

She still had the usual smile on her lips, polite and distant, and said:

"Thank you to Vice Minister Wang for taking care of me these days. I'm going back in a few days, and Saburo is coming to pick me up. ”

"Did someone from the Quanzhen Sect deliver you a message?"

Wang Shiqiang is not surprised.

Although the Three Sages is not the Taoist temple of Quanzhenjiao, Shaanxi is the ancestral court of Quanzhenjiao.

The place of Wang Chongyang's enlightenment is in Fengting County on the edge of the Yellow River.

Taoism and Quanzhen Sect in various parts of Shaanxi are inextricably linked.

"This time in the Northern Expedition, we are not unanimous. The official family can drive the expedition in person, Lou Yun does not have the right to fight for the army, and I also know that it is inevitable that I will have to endure it for a few years. Most of King Chen's family were civil servants, and they were all waiting to see the results of the Northern Expedition. Food, grass, and ordnance were all available. Qingniang, since the construction of Tangfang, we have been preparing together for more than ten years......"

Wang Shiqiang walked with her in the Taoist temple, and she silently listened to him talk about the events of the year.

At the beginning of their acquaintance, Wang Shiqiang was unwilling to be lonely.

"To this day, the Northern Expedition is still defeated. But it's because the people in the north don't have the will. ”

Wang Shiqiang sighed.

She had already said these words to Zhao Duanning two days ago.

In addition to fighting in the court, the official family also has to find a way to win over the hearts of northern people like Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen, who are illiterate, do not take the imperial examination, and eat more than the sky.

Quanzhen Sect is the best channel.

Wang Shiqiang really thinks the same way.

"Jia Rudao fled to your western camp?"

She could feel that Zhao Duanning had been in a better mood recently.

He has no intention of returning here, and there are rumors in the capital that the new emperor is being discussed, and it is impossible for all the internal and external ministers and workers who fled in the war to die, but they are nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Jia Rudao escaped from the Shandong rebellion and took the initiative to defect to the West Daying, and when he saw Zhao Duanning, he cried bitterly.

Zhao Duanning didn't want to question him for the crime of forcing the Shandong army to rebel.

"He has a big fate, but Li Quan is dead."

She felt that Li Quan was too pity.

Even if he was an official of the Jin people and led the army to attack Xuzhou City, Erlang should not have beheaded him.

Wang Shiqiang also smiled, and didn't mention that Zhao Duanning had Jia Yidao, a real henchman, next to him, he only said:

"Your persuasion to the official family is at the right time."

If Zhao Duanning has the ability to regain his strength, why should he Wang Shiqiang stay away from the land of Liangzhejiang and retreat to Chengdu Mansion?

He asked himself that his foundation and achievements were not enough, and he was far from having the capital to stand on his own.

His roots are in the East China Sea.

Outside the eaves of the shingled palace damaged by the war, layers of silver drizzles drifted up, and they stopped together under the verandah of the hall.

The old tree in front of the porch had its branches cut off, revealing a gray-white sky.

She quietly watched the rain fluttering in the wind.

And he stared at her for a long time.

"Think about us. I can wait slowly. (To be continued......)
