Jiang Xuan did not go back to the house with Lu Qingrong directly, but went to find Lu Yiduo first.

stayed in the study with Lu Yiduo for about an hour before he and Lu Qingrong got into the carriage back.

In the carriage, Lu Qingrong didn't have time to ask the reason, but Jiang Xuan first remembered Jiang Ling's strange appearance.

"What happened to Jiang Ling just now, could it be that we guessed wrong before?" Jiang Xuan wondered.

Regarding Jiang Ling's deliberate failure in the palace test in order to not be a horse, it was not Lu Qingrong who thought like this.

When the ranking of the emperor list came out, the two of them had already talked about it, which was a common guess between Jiang Xuan and her.

If you count it carefully, it is Jiang Xuan who mentioned it first.

After all, in recent years, Jiang Xuan has had much more contact with Jiang Ling than Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong smiled, then shook his head and said, "We guessed correctly, he did ......it on purpose."

This was expected, Jiang Xuan was just puzzled: "Since this is the case, he should be happy!" ”

"It's not because of the rankings." Lu Qingrong recalled: "Xu I didn't hold back just now, exposing him, making his face a little unbearable......"

Jiang Xuan smiled and looked back at Lu Qingrong with an extraordinarily soft gaze.

He knew that Lu Qingrong really thought so.

But he also knows that the real reason is certainly not so.

Jiang Ling's thoughts, Jiang Xuan thought that he had seen a little bit, but he would never be stupid enough to mention these things in front of Lu Qingrong.

Jiang Xuan didn't point it out, but sighed with a smile: "If he deliberately fails to take the test, if he tells it to others." I'm afraid no one will believe it! ”

Lu Qingrong was extremely agreeable, and casually talked about the conversation she had with Jiang Ling just now.

Jiang Xuan listened with great interest, and then said with a smile: "He can rest assured that he will go to the examination of Jishi!" The emperor has decided today. Princess Yongying will be given the new champion of marriage, and the holy decree has been prepared. ”

Lu Qingrong immediately smiled, and remembered: "The emperor summoned you to the palace so urgently, and stayed for a long time, could it be just for this?" “

"Of course not." Jiang Xuan's face added a bit of gloom, "The emperor has decided to summon Cui Yan back to Beijing." ”

It's really going to change the commander on the spot!

Lu Qingrong was surprised. He said, "Is the messenger who sent the letter back?" Is there really any evidence? ”

Jiang Xuan shook his head helplessly: "There is no evidence at all!" If there is evidence, it will not be as simple as calling him back to Beijing. But what Mobei sent back was a secret fold, and I couldn't find out the specific content. It is not difficult to see from the emperor's attitude. The wording of the Mobei Prison Army must be unfavorable to Cui Yan. It seems that this time, he was really hurt by the rumors. ”

Lu Qingrong sighed, she didn't understand very well: "Last time you talked about the tactics used by Cui Yan. It was to defuse Sato's guerrilla warfare. Find a way to get the Panmeng people together and win with one blow. This gives people the illusion of "strengthening the enemy's main force." And Cui Yan also explained to the emperor in advance. I can understand something like this, how can the emperor not understand? ”

"Of course the emperor understands." Jiang Xuan was very sure, "It's just that the king's heart is unpredictable, and no one can say what the emperor thinks." Xu is this matter has spread too much, and it has already caused a very bad impact, in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor. The emperor felt that he had to do something! ”

Lu Qingrong also felt that the Eight Achievements were like this.

It's just that thinking of Jiang Yunpei's haggard face that has been worried recently, Lu Qingrong is not worth it to follow Cui Yan.

She was still a little lucky: "Is there no room for turnaround?" ”

"The emperor has made up his mind." Jiang Xuan continued: "I also talked to my father just now. only to learn that he had also tried to protect Cui Yan in front of the emperor, but he also failed to recover. ”

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he was inevitably discouraged.

Lu Yiduo, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, has a very right to speak on the border war, and Jiang Xuan has personally fought in Mobei and has made great achievements. Neither of them could make the emperor change his mind, and it seemed that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

At this time, Jiang Xuan said again: "The emperor is looking for me today, not to discuss whether Cui Yan should come back, but to discuss who should be sent to replace him!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but mutter: "The Marquis of Wuding has been fighting hard for a long time, according to what you said last time, the situation is already under control, just wait to find the right time to launch a general attack to destroy the enemy!" Sending someone over at this time is simply grabbing merit! ”

Hearing her say the truth, a smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth: "Isn't it!" ”

Lu Qingrong misunderstood this smile, and was suddenly startled: "The emperor doesn't want you to go, right?!" ”

"Of course not!" Jiang Xuan's smile gradually faded, and he said with disdain: "Their gang first participated in Cui Yan, and then they continued to slander in front of the emperor, but they were not meticulous in their actions, and the evidence was not sufficient. It can be seen that he didn't really want to put Cui Yan to death, but he just wanted to pull him back to the capital in advance. With such a lot of effort, how could it be possible to watch this bargain being picked up by others! ”

"Then we can only watch Cui Yan's credit being robbed?" Lu Qingrong asked.

Jiang Xuan smiled coldly, and continued: "Cui Yan can control the situation so well, it doesn't mean that just changing someone can win smoothly!" They all feel that this military feat is easy to capture, but they don't know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can say what will happen until the last moment. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Cui Yan coming back at this time. He had made no mistakes in his previous use of troops, and he had won battles one after another. This blatant crime is unwarranted, but fortunately, the slander is just to steal merit, as long as Cui Yan comes back, it won't take long for it to come to light. After this incident, the emperor must feel guilty about him, and when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, he can also be one of the best! ”

After hearing this, Lu Qingrong felt a little relieved.

"Then who do you recommend to the emperor?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"I recommended a few, all of them were the generals who followed me last time I went to Mobei, although it is unlikely that the emperor will agree, but I must always do my best. As for the confirmation of the candidates, it should be in the next two days.

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This group of people who planted the blame for Cui Yan was obviously led by An Lebo.

So, who do they want to let take the credit?

At this moment, there is another person in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion who cares more about this matter than her.

In the Qinyi Courtyard, Mrs. Wu was pacing back and forth in the inner room, uneasy.

"I don't know when this matter will be settled......" Mrs. Wu kept muttering.

Mother Lu stood on the side and persuaded: "Since An Lebo promised Madame, there shouldn't be any mistakes, right?" ”

Mrs. Wu is still not at ease: "If this holy decree does not come down for a day, my heart will not be able to be steady for a day." (To be continued.) )
