Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment.

Her worries these days are really not nonsense.

It was noon, the breeze was warm, and the warm spring sun was pouring into the house through the windows, which should be extra warm. Lu Qingrong suddenly felt a chill.

"It's already decided?" Lu Qingrong asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Jiang Xuan saw her reaction, and the big truths that he had prepared earlier in his heart couldn't be said anyway, and he only explained softly, "I was summoned to the palace in the morning, and the emperor personally ordered that the holy decree should be in these two days...... I was going to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion first, but I thought I should have told you ......"

Jiang Xuan rarely slurred like this, but Lu Qingrong had no time to pay attention to these.

"How can the emperor be like this......" Lu Qingrong couldn't help but say: "Going out to Mobei to guard the safety of the people on one side is the duty of a courtier. In the past, when I heard you recall going to Mobei when you were a child, you can also feel your yearning for that land. It's just that you didn't have any experience in leading troops to fight in the past, if you follow to be a lieutenant general or something, it's still in line with common sense, this is in command...... I always felt too sinister. This is how my father went to the northwest to quell the rebellion, and he is still recuperating in Jingchun Hall to this day. Just believe in the banner of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion like this? ”

Lu Qingrong rarely counts others in front of him on weekdays, Jiang Xuan was still a little unaccustomed to hearing this at first glance, not to mention that this is actually the current saint.

He himself didn't know the danger. When Lu Qingrong said this, he was really very restrained.

"That's true." Jiang Xuan did not shy away from it, "No matter how many military books I read, I can't compare it with the real battle between the two armies...... As you said, what the emperor values is nothing more than my flag, and this time, the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is just one of them. ”

Lu Qingrong listened carefully, she didn't realize the difference this time: "You mean, there is also the eldest uncle's ......"

"Exactly." Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, "General Xu Yi was defeated, and a big reason was that he couldn't fully mobilize the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry. You are young, you may not have heard of it, many years ago Zhenbei Tieqi also had another name, called 'Jiang Jiajun', after the uncle returned to the court, he immediately abandoned this name, although the people have occasionally mentioned it in recent years, but it is not as widespread as it was back then. Now the eldest uncle is forced to keep his head in obscurity, even if he wants to go to the battlefield himself. At this time, there is naturally no more suitable candidate than me, a 'relative' of Jiang Jiajun! ”

Jiang Xuan said directly, and the expression on his face gradually showed a bit of perseverance.

"It's just a little bit of a mouthful." Lu Qingrong suddenly realized that since the matter had been decided, any complaints would only add to the troubles, "You mentioned that Cui Yan, the prince of Wuding Hou, is one of the deputy generals, but what about the others, but they are all decided?" ”

"The emperor found me in advance, just to ask me to recommend some people and report them tomorrow." Jiang Xuan said truthfully: "I said that I was going to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and it was precisely for this matter. ”

"The emperor doesn't plan to send someone to follow you?" Lu Qingrong felt strange, he couldn't let him nominate it himself.

"The emperor arranged for Mr. Chu to go to Mobei with me, so he can be regarded as my military advisor!" Jiang Xuan lowered his voice, "Mr. Chu is not a minister of the court, and he will not appear in the holy decree, you just know it, don't tell the others about it." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded seriously.

She used to think that Mr. Chu was a little unusual, but at most she thought that he had a lot to do with Ji Ming, the first assistant of the cabinet, and she didn't think that even the emperor would look at him differently.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Lu Zhu came in to tell him, saying that Mo Nan came to find the prince, and it was the Zhenbei General's Mansion who sent someone to invite him, so that the prince would go over immediately.

Lu Qingrong didn't dare to delay, even though he still had all kinds of questions in his heart, he hurriedly called the maid to help Jiang Xuan change his clothes, and personally sent him out.

It didn't take long for Luzhu to bring the maids over to set up the meal. Lu Qingrong didn't have any appetite, and only drank a small half bowl of yam porridge, and then asked people to withdraw.

On the side of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Jiang Xuan couldn't even take care of eating, and went directly into Jiang Yuanzhao's study.

The two closed the door and discussed for nearly two hours before they decided to recommend the candidates.

Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry to leave.

Jiang Yuanzhao didn't say much, and waited quietly for him to speak.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yuanzhao gradually eased after he and Lu Qingrong got married. In the early years, because of his young age, he couldn't figure out the joints, and he always felt that his uncle was too tolerant of the death of his mother, and he couldn't immediately stand up and investigate the matter thoroughly, and he always had a knot in his heart. In the past year, all kinds of things have come and gone, and I have gotten closer to Jiang Yuanzhao again, but I am always a little worse than I felt when I was a child.

"...... over there in King Jing's Mansion" Jiang Xuan pondered and said, "I'm leaving, Yu Linwei's side can only be put down temporarily." Now is different from the past, after the death of the crown prince, the situation of the second prince has become particularly delicate, if there is any change, I hope that the eldest uncle will not stand by and watch ......"

"Have you ever been to King Jing's Mansion?" Jiang Yuanzhao asked suddenly.

"No, I didn't." Jiang Xuan said honestly, "This kind of time must be inappropriate for the past." ”

"Exactly." Jiang Yuanzhao nodded with great satisfaction, "I knew that you would definitely come to me, and I hurriedly sent someone to invite you, just because I was afraid that you would be confused for a while and run over there." It can be seen that I am still worried in vain! ”

Jiang Yuanzhao smiled straight to the bottom of his eyes, and his words were relaxed, seeing that Jiang Xuan was still waiting for his reply with a stern face, he continued: "Don't worry, there will be no problems on King Jing's side." King Jing is a steady person, and he will never make senseless temptations to the emperor. Although the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, the position of the prince is still empty after all, so everything is possible. Originally, the emperor's intention was not obvious, and this time I sent you to Mobei, it is difficult to guarantee that I have already tilted in my heart. Great and good-shaped, smart people would not act rashly at such a time. ”

"Your words are reasonable, but what I'm worried about is not that the prince will act rashly, but that he ......" Jiang Xuan didn't continue, just looked in the direction of the palace and sighed softly.

Jiang Yuanzhao knew that he was referring to the East Palace.

"I understand what you mean." Jiang Yuanzhao said slowly: "After the death of the crown prince, the Yulin Army has been under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, including the other soldiers and horses in the city, all of which are under the control of the saint. If the people next to him have any thoughts, it is nothing more than to transfer troops from the suburbs of Beijing, then if they want to take advantage, it will be very difficult. ”

Jiang Xuan was also aware of the matter.

The reason why he told Jiang Yuanzhao about this was because he knew that in addition to the permanent soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there were also Zhenbei Iron Cavalry scattered everywhere.

The location of the capital is special, although it is in the plain area, but it is less than 100 miles away from the Shanhaiguan, so in addition to being the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, it is also an important place for war. Although the Shanhai Pass is impregnable, if it is invaded by the northern nomads, the capital will be in danger. Therefore, the preservation of the northern iron cavalry in the suburbs of Beijing is an indispensable arrangement for the town to guard the Beijing division.

"If it is a last resort, can the eldest uncle mobilize the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry around the capital?" Jiang Xuan finally said it bluntly.

"This ......" Jiang Yuanzhao did not act deliberately, but did have a hard time, "It is really difficult for me to mobilize the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry now." To tell you the truth, my prestige is still there, but as you must have known, the talisman was no longer in my hands a long time ago. Although I have been entrusted by you, this guarantee is unspeakable......"

After speaking, Jiang Yuanzhao looked at Jiang Xuan with an obscure gaze.

Jiang Xuan hesitated a little, as if he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something. What Jiang Yuanzhao said was the truth, and he knew it.

However, his entanglement at the moment did not escape Jiang Yuanzhao's attention, but it made Jiang Yuanzhao feel a little relieved. Jiang Xuan didn't speak, it was many times better than lying to him......

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will do my best. The most unfortunate thing is that I personally went out of the city, with my old face, I can always resist the role of a few soldiers! ”

Jiang Yuanzhao said resolutely.

Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed, but he never said anything more.

By the time he returned to Yuyuan from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Lu Qingrong had lost the initial anxiety and became the same as before.

"I thought you had to get back after dark!" Lu Qingrong smiled, "Now that we're back, let's have dinner early, I haven't eaten enough at noon!" ”

Watching her playfully complain, Jiang Xuan's mood inexplicably changed a lot. She must have known that she hadn't eaten at noon.

Throughout the dinner, Lu Qingrong didn't mention anything about Mobei, just ate by himself, and kept commenting on the dishes on the table with Jiang Xuan. Until dinner was over, the maids removed the table, and it was like this for a long time.

Jiang Xuan also talked about something else: "When you were a child, you used the book "Thousand Character Text" to practice calligraphy, but did you bring it to Yuyuan?" ”

"Hmm. It's just that it's not commonly used, so maybe it's at the bottom of the box. Lu Qingrong said casually, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, "How do you know that I am practicing according to that word?" ”

"Your words are carved out of the same mold as your mother's!" Jiang Xuan chuckled, "You should have heard of the origin of that book, right?" ”

Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was only one year old at that time, and he shouldn't remember these things: "I heard that when I was a child, I had a relationship with my mother, and it was she who sent the object to catch Zhou. ”

"And did you know what else she sent?" Jiang Xuan asked casually.

"There's also a jade pendant of the Red Fei." Lu Qingrong has never mentioned it to others, especially when he remembered the time when he was coaxed by Mrs. Wu when he was a child, and he felt that this thing was a little strange, "Now it's also with me, do you want to see it?" I'm going to get it! ”

Lu Qingrong had already gotten up and was about to go back to the inner room, but was dragged back by Jiang Xuan.

"It's just a casual ask, see what it does, you just take it."
