In the Ye Mansion in Shangzhai Village, Ninghai County, the gate was crowded with villagers who came to see the excitement, just because they heard that another angel came from Beijing. Such a prime minister's family, which has only been produced for hundreds of years, has such a lively scene almost every year, which is not uncommon, but everyone knows that Ye Mansion is about to have a happy event, and the robbery that just happened is a bit unusual.

The prime ministers of the extremely human ministers all see each other every day, and they can still talk coldly, without the slightest arrogance, so they look at those honor guards, and the villagers who boast of being a little knowledgeable do not shy away from pointing and pointing and not shying away, and they heard that this angel is a relative of the saint, and everyone is a little curious.

In the middle hall of Ye Mansion, Xie Tang, the freshly baked ambassador of the two Zhejiang towns, said a few words of encouragement and comfort in the tone of the Empress Dowager, and then gave the book in his hand to Ye Mengding, who took the Erlang Ye Yingyou who stayed in the mansion and thanked him respectfully, and unfolded it in the hall, and the font on it was taken aback by Ye Mengding, who was literate and knowledgeable, this was clearly written by a woman!

As for the content, he couldn't help but sigh when he was mentally prepared, he was all hit by that kid, and after hastily sweeping the words behind, Ye Mengding closed the page, and handed it to the old Chen Tou behind him, telling him to put it away.

"After a long time, the saint is old." He returned to his hometown when the first emperor was in power, and the last time he saw Xie was when the first emperor had just ascended the throne, she had just been canonized as the queen mother, and it was ten years ago, Ye Mengding could imagine the changes in this deep palace woman under the pressure of state affairs, and before he could recover from his emotion, he saw Xie Tang in front of him standing there stunned and looking at himself.

"Shaobao, this is the edict?" Xie Tang, who was waiting for the other party to refuse and then handed the book back, saw that the book was cherished by the people of the Ye Mansion, and said in disbelief.

"Shengdao said this, is it possible that you want the old man to return it?" Ye Mengding called his words and asked rhetorically, watching his expression change playfully, the court thought that he would resign, but he just took it, thinking of the reaction of those people who sent the news back, he suddenly had a different kind of happiness.

Xie Tang looked at the old man embarrassedly The smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and suddenly his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and a hearty laugh sounded in the hall, he and Ye Yingyou on the other side glanced at each other, and they were a little at a loss, so they could only laugh dryly twice with "hehe".

"Sit down and talk." After a while, Ye Mengding shook his head to stop laughing and greeted him.

"Ascension, the old man knows what you think in your heart, but you think about it, and those people in the court also think about it. You might as well think about it, if you just want to go through the motions, then why bother with the sage to write a letter and let you come to this trip, how to refuse the meaning of the sage's fist, not to mention, the old man lost to others in a bet, this edict is indispensable. ”

Xie Tang listened half-understood, and Ye Yingyou, who was accompanying him on the side, was also ignorant, but the general meaning still understood, after so many years of idleness, the old man was planning to go out of the mountain, and what puzzled them was that if he wanted to enter the court, the position of the prime minister of the political hall would not be able to run away, and even the important affairs of the military state in Pingzhang could not be Wang Entropy's turn. As for what the bet was, since the old man didn't say it, they didn't want to ask.

The reason why Ye Mengding said these words to him was of course not to explain them to him, but to pass them on to the ears of the Empress Dowager, and he believed that the sage would definitely understand the meanings of those words, and as for what others thought, it was not in his heart.

"The little nephew understands, there is another thing here, you take a look at this first, the sage has a saying, 'declare it or not, listen to you all, and you must not be forced'." After Xie Tang finished speaking, he took out another document from his arms, and Ye Mengding, who was familiar with regulations, recognized its function at a glance, the same as the previous one, except that it was a woman.

Ye Yingyou, who couldn't talk on the side, looked at his old man's expression, as if he was puzzled, delighted, and puzzled, Xie Tang's words just now subverted his cognition, and the court's book production was refused, what is "Xuan or not, all listen to you"?

"The old man has the order, thank the Holy Grace!" Ye Mengding first stood up and arched his hand, then turned his head to look at Ye Yingyou and said, "Go to the backyard to spread a word, call your mother, little mother, and sisters to come to the hall, the court has a will." ”

Ye Yingyou, who had been confused since he was called, responded mechanically, and on the way down the hall to the backyard, he suddenly realized that what his father just said was "call your mother", but it has been many years since his mother died, and his biological mother can't be called that, could it be that he can't help but move in his heart, and his steps are a little brisker.

After about half a cup of tea, Ye Mengding's concubines and all the daughters at home, including those who were still in swaddling clothes, were all called to the lobby, and everyone looked puzzled, but they all knew the rules, and they didn't dare to make a noise, and they each made a few rows according to their elders and children.

"Second brother and thirteen mothers hold your mother and stand in front." Ye Mengding's words made everyone raise their heads in surprise, and Mrs. Ru, who was supported by her own children and walked out of the crowd, looked ahead in disbelief, and her steps were as empty as falling into the clouds.

Waiting for the hall to stop, Xie Tang stood up and unfolded the book, reading aloud word by word, although Jing Niang, who was standing in front of her, guessed what was going on, but when those words really floated into her ears, it was still like a dream, her hand sank suddenly, and her biological mother couldn't stand anymore, and she slid straight to the ground.

"Shuwen is in good quality. Soft and beautiful. The rate belongs to the purple court. Diligence is evident in hard work. Yang Fentong tube. Yun Mao Yu Ningyi. Praise for your life. Special purpose to enter the country of Mrs. Yue. The narrative of the medallion. The style is better than the other Yi. Tang Mu's seal. It is recommended to neglect Xuanyu. It's my life. No forgetting to admire. Yes"

Aside from those gorgeous words of praise, its central meaning is just one sentence, because a good son and a good daughter were born, and the original concubine was straightened to become the real hostess of Ye Mansion, so there will be Xuan Buxuan to listen to the preface of Ye Mengding's words, after all, this is a family affair of others, and it cannot be added by force.

After announcing the edict for a long time, Xie Tang didn't hear a word of thanksgiving, put down the book and looked, Mrs. Zhengyipin Yueguo not far in front of him had fallen to the ground softly, her eyes were empty and she didn't know what she was thinking, Jing Niang quickly let the second brother hold her, pinched her fingers under her nose a few times, and then woke up slowly, and after seeing where she was and found that she was not dreaming, she hugged Jing Niang and cried.

"The woman is ignorant, so she laughs, and the old man is here to thank her." Ye Mengding didn't scold her, and said to Xie Tang with his hands.

Mrs. was overjoyed when she heard this, and it was common for her to be a little surprised, there were many things in the house, so the little nephew would say goodbye. Seeing that Shaobao's family was happy, he was really a little homesick, and he came to the door again on the day he loved to leave the pavilion. Xie Tang handed over the book again, and said goodbye after a haha, Tiantai County, where Xie's family is located, is only a day's journey away, and Ye Mengding did not stay in vain, and personally sent him out of the court.

The father who turned his head back was called alone, Jing Niang was still immersed in joy all the way, and she had been cautious, and she didn't even dare to care about her children too obviously.

When he arrived in the study, Ye Mengding did not sit in his seat, he glanced at Jing Niang, who was standing at the bottom with low eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were full of joy and couldn't suppress a smile. Thinking that only a few days ago, she was still torn between life and death, and the unhappiness in her heart flew away all of a sudden.

"Thirteen Niang, I haven't asked you since I came back, have you been summoned by the saint after you go to Beijing?" Seeing that Jing Niang nodded in response, Ye Mengding then asked: "What did you say after entering the palace, 1510 said that you are a father, and you can't hide it." ”

Jing Niang did not doubt him, and described in detail the scene when she was summoned by the Empress Dowager, including the words given by the saint himself. Looking at the small note, the words written on it were indeed the same person as the book just now.

"Mingcan, Mingcan" Ye Mengding muttered with his whiskers, and after thinking about it, he already knew in his heart that today's sealing seemed to be given to the concubine, but it was better to say that it was given to the little woman in front of him. He glanced at his daughter again, and didn't understand what was so good about her? How did he get into the eyes of the saint, and he didn't hesitate to make an exception and add such a great favor, for fear of being wronged!

"You are a blessed one, go, serve your mother, you are about to go out of the cabinet, spend more time with her. Don't take the gossip at home to heart, you have your own father's decision. Ye Mengding's fatherly words made Jing Niang raise her head, she had never heard such a kind tone since she was a child, she was stunned, she bowed and retreated respectfully.

Jing Niang's pampered look made Ye Mengding nodded, it seems that he has been negligent about this daughter, she does have something outstanding, the rumors in the house have long been in his ears, but he has never heard of her any radical actions, what should she do without complaint, and it is not in vain that these people value her.

Thousands of miles away in Qiongzhou, when it was about to fall at night, a group of more than 100 cavalry people walked slowly along the uneven dirt road, in front of them, the county seat of Qiongshan where the state was located was already in sight, and the soldiers cheered loudly on their horses regardless of their tired bodies.

"How?" Jiang Cai raised his head from a large map and looked at Shi Zhong who had just stepped into the threshold, his clothes and armor were full of dust, his expression was a little tired, his spirit was still good, there was no obstacle to walking, and he should not be injured.

"Don't mention it, I chased dozens of miles, and then I went to either the river or the grass nest, and then it was the high mountains and dense forests, a certain one is so big, I have never seen such a dense forest, all of them are towering trees, the thickness that a strong man can't hold, damn, these thieves have a good place to go, and as soon as they get in, there will be no human figures."

Shi Zhong found a scoop of water in the house, scooped up the water, "gurgling" a few sips and drank it, shaking his head while talking, this kind of battle is really heartwarming, the enemy is not strong, all of them are Yi people with simple utensils, and there are not many Song people. If he fought in a dignified manner, he was confident that his subordinates would be enough, but people would not fight him like this at all.

"Is there any damage?" Jiang Cai ignored his bitter words, these are all expected, unless you work hard and have enough manpower, most of them will end up like this, drive the thieves far away, and find some people to fill the number even if it is a credit, and there is even more shameless, it is not uncommon to kill the good and take the credit.

"The big man was hit by an arrow, and it was no big deal, and a few others were also slightly injured, but the horse was injured by two, but it didn't work, so they were killed and brought back." Shi Zhong took a breath, sat on a low horse, untied his armor and upper body, and fanned it straight.

This bit of damage is really nothing, Jiang Cai nodded and didn't ask again, the biggest enemy here is not those bandits, nor those complex terrains, but the unbearable climate, not to mention the heat, the sea breeze blowing is full of heat, and more than ten people have fallen inexplicably, although it is not fatal, but the impact on the morale of the army cannot be ignored.

The water and soil here are even a little impatient with the Mongolian horses from the Tartars, and there are always some strange symptoms, so I came to Lang Zhong to take a look, but it is not an epidemic, but it is only said that the water and soil are not suitable, and the decoction is drunk, and I can't die, but my spirit is always sluggish, so that Jiang Cai is also very big.

However, Liu Yu is right about one thing, this place is not as barren as they began to think, the land under their feet has a history of thousands of years, generation after generation of cultivation, it looks no different from the Great Song Junzhou across the sea, there are thousands of households in the entire Qiongzhou, and there are tens of thousands of Dingkou on the whole island, which is also the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

"What?" Jiang Cai, who came back to his senses, was surprised and delighted when he heard the report of his own soldiers, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about it just now, and the person had already arrived. R1058
