The Shu Han State is weak and weak, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of the dangerous terrain, and after the establishment of the Great Chu State, the northern ethnic minorities have been on the border every year, and they have never been able to free up their hands to clean up this country within a country, which has lasted for many years. How can you really have the strength to start a war against Da Chu. Because the annual supply of grain and cloth to Dachu has long become a heavy burden for this small country, the gathering of troops is just to get a little capital in negotiations.

The orthodox emperor brought the first assistant of the cabinet to the front line, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, the north of Chu was not appeased, and now there was no strength to eliminate Shu Han in one fell swoop, so the orthodox emperor sent envoys as soon as he arrived at the camp in the south of the Yangtze River.

Half a month later, the two countries reached an agreement, the Shu Han Emperor claimed the title of the lord, with Da Chu as the suzerain, and the Shu Han side provided Da Chu with 800,000 taels of silver and 400,000 horses of silk every year. Da Chu gained face, Shu Han won a partial situation, and both sides were relatively satisfied.

After accomplishing this important matter, the orthodox emperor immediately drove back to Beijing, and when Yang Shoufu returned to Beijing, it was already February of the second year.

The Yang family has been quite depressed this year, and as soon as the eighth girl's incident reached the old lady's ears, the old lady immediately dropped the cup in her hand. These old ladies have left all the housework to the eldest lady and the second lady to take care of, and they are just concentrating on worshipping the Buddha, but if the tiger is not powerful, you can't treat it as a sick cat. The so-called ginger is old and spicy, and the old lady understands it in her heart.

The blue sky is bright and clear, how can masked bandits appear near a famous temple like Lingguang Temple in Xishan? And this happened in the wilderness, and no one witnessed it, but it was spread all over the city in a short period of time, and the prince's hero saving the beauty was rumored to be a good story, what should I do with the reputation of the eighth girl Yuxin?

I haven't made a move for many years, but the old lady is also resolute as soon as she makes a move, not only does she not allow the eight girls to go out in the yard, but even the eldest lady unceremoniously asks the old lady to be grounded. The maids and wives in the main courtyard, if there is a connection, they are sold and sold, and there is no one left. Even Wu's mother called for twenty boards, if it weren't for the fact that she was rewarded by the Queen Mother, Wu's mother would definitely be the first to be sold to Renyazi.

As for how to deal with this matter, the old lady is also a little uncertain in her heart, the reason why the Yang family is unwilling to marry the prince is because it involves the intricate dispute between the court and the central government, and the old lady never asks about the government, so she can't make an accurate judgment. I had to wait for the old lady to come back.

This idea is naturally the hand of Concubine Hui, the eldest lady was angry with the eldest master before, but she just hid it from the eighth girl. After all, the eldest lady is the mother of the eighth girl, and her daughter has a secret affection for King Zhao these days, although the eldest lady doesn't know, but she still has some vague feelings.

Hiding the eighth girl is also afraid that she will have extraneous branches, not to mention that this matter Yu Xin knows whether or not it does not prevent the planning from proceeding.

After the accident, the old lady fell like thunder, and the old man was also shocked. Hurriedly went to Songhe Hall to plead with the eldest lady and Yuxin. The old lady saw that the eldest lord had arrived, and she was still thinking about clinging to the prince and seeking wealth and nobility, and there were more than forty people, and she did not have a clear understanding of the government and the cruelty of seizing the heir, so she was disappointed and angry, and asked someone to drive the eldest lord out of the city on the spot.

After such a fuss, the old lady was angry and angry, and she also fell ill. The eldest lady was confined to her feet, and the housekeeping power was in the hands of the second wife, and she hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to show the old lady. Yulan almost lived in Songhe Hall, serving the sick and relieving the old lady without undressing. Rao is like this, and the old lady has been sick for several months, until the eve of the old lady's return to Beijing, Yulan took good care of her.

The Yang Mansion has been deserted for a year. The air pressure in the house was low, and the maids and ladies walked a little lighter. Good Chengzu, Chengye, and Chengzong came back from the country's eunuchs, and they all worked hard to please the old lady and make the old lady happy. The old lady saw that everyone had grown a lot, and she was finally comforted. I thought that if the boss was not angry, it would be good if his son would be able to set up a household in the future.

The old lady entered the capital on the fourth day of the second month, and when she arrived at the cabinet to hand over official duties, she immediately returned home. As the first assistant of the cabinet, the old lady has his own sources, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei secretly report that he has the right to dismantle and read every day, not to mention this idea at home.

The door of Yang's Mansion was wide open, the eldest master, the second master, and the fifth master took the family to take the family out of the door, and the old lady looked at the three sons kneeling in the cold wind, and it took a long time before he called out coldly, "Get up!" When everyone saw that the old lady's face was not good, they all trembled.

The eldest lord especially felt that his father was aware of everything, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.

The old lady ignored the three sons and went to Songhetang to visit his wife first. The old lady Yulan had just finished drinking the decoction under the service, and the old lady saw that the old lady was back and hurriedly asked Mother Su to hold it, and was about to get up and go to the ground, the old lady walked over and held her, and said gently: "You are not in good health, just lie down and rest, how many years have you been an old husband and wife, why bother with me to make such a false ceremony." ”

The old lady sighed and said; "It's all because the old body is not optimistic about this family, you have only been gone for a while, and this kind of thing has happened in the family!"

Yulan saw that this situation was not right, so she took a moment, stepped forward and respectfully kowtowed to the old lady, and then made an excuse and slipped back to Lu Jingzhai.

The old lady watched Yulan go out of Songhe Hall, and Su's mother asked the little girl to put tea fruit on her head, and also took the maids to retreat. Only two old people remained. The old lady asked the old lady about the journey, and finally said, "Master, what do you think should be done about the eight girls?" ”

The old lady held his wife's hand and said gently: "Over the years, you and I have never seen any kind of wind and waves, why should you worry about such a trivial matter!" ”

The old lady smiled bitterly; "After all, it's also my granddaughter, I watched her grow up since I was a child, although she is a little arrogant, she is also a good child! How could I not feel distressed! ”

The old lady said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!" Your own body is important, after all, you are also an old person. You don't have to worry about these things, I have everything in my hands! ”

After all, he is the head of the cabinet, and the struggle above the court is a hundred times more fierce and cruel than this, and he can still stand for decades, and no one knows his husband's methods better than the old lady. Hearing the old lady say this, the old lady let go of her hand with confidence.

The old lady did not immediately dismiss the matter. Instead, the eldest lady and the eighth girl were left to dry for a few days, and then the eldest master, the eldest lady and the eighth girl's family of three were called in the main hall of Yiningju.

The old lady sat on the head, and the eldest man knelt on the ground with the eldest lady and Yuxin, and he didn't dare to take a breath. The old lady is not a very strict person, but he has been in the top position for a long time, and over time, he naturally has an awe-inspiring majesty and bearing, and the old man was swept away by his faint gaze, and immediately did not even dare to raise his head.

On the one hand, he is really busy and has no time to talk about his son's behavior, on the other hand, he also hopes that his son can work independently and exercise his own opinions and knowledge, after all, people cannot rely on Lao Tzu all their lives.

It's just that the eldest lord is really not very competitive, and this is also Ye Yichen's comment to the old lady that "there is no way to teach his son", not casually, the eldest lord is indeed not a talent.

The old lady leisurely drank the Biluochun in the tea bowl, muttered silently, and did not tell them to get up. He was calm, but the eldest lady didn't have that concentration, she only felt that her heart was like a cat scratching, she secretly glanced at her father-in-law's face, but the old lady couldn't see anything on his face.

Originally, after this incident, the eldest lady was already very determined, and the eighth girl had no other way to go except to marry the prince. Originally, this was also a small way to hold the second elder hostage, but now she is a little uncertain. She didn't have much contact with her father-in-law, but the old lady always respected him, but she always felt that her father-in-law was very kind, but she didn't feel how powerful his methods were.

After kneeling for a long time, her feet were numb, and she finally said stubbornly: "Father, Xin'er goes out of the city to incense, and there is no way to meet robbers, your old man has loved this granddaughter since she was a child, you have to be the master of the child." If she can't marry into the East Palace, then how will this child deal with herself in the future, I'm afraid even our Yang family will be ...... down."

After the eldest lady finished speaking, there was a sound of a tea bowl falling on the table, and the old lady said lightly: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

The eldest lady said: "For today's plan, I can only ask my father to let me out, I will go to the palace, and ask the queen mother to marry the two children." Thinking about learning with Xin'er's conduct and appearance, the Queen Mother is not unreasonable. In this way, the prince hero saves the beauty not only in the Yang family, but it is a beautiful talk, isn't it all changed in all aspects. ”

The old lady's cold voice sounded above his head: "Boss, you mean the same thing?" ”

The eldest man was shocked, thought about it for a long time, and finally replied: "My son also thinks that this is the only way to do it!" ”

The old lady sneered: "You guys are really good at calculating!" The marriage with the prince involves the rise and fall of the Yang family, who will give you power, and hastily decide this matter! Well? The old lady's voice was cold, and there was irrepressible anger in his tone, "You are confused, you are forcing your child to death!" ”

Neither husband nor wife expected the old lady to react so much to this matter. was a little confused for a while, the eldest man touched the ground with his head, and kowtowed again and again: "Father is angry, father is angry, it's all the son's fault!" It's the son who doesn't think about it! ”

The old lady slapped the table and sneered, "You are not thoughtful? You're confused! What a dangerous thing it has been since ancient times to seize the heir, not only do you not know how to protect yourself, but you are also rushing to drill inside, do you have a long brain! "With a snap, he slammed the teacup next to the big man, and the tea splashed the big man's body and face, but the big man didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it." Why are you so sure that the crown prince will definitely win the battle for the heir, and he will definitely be able to sit on that dragon chair? ”

The old lady slapped the table, stood up and walked around the ground twice, "Now this mess, you tell me, how to clean it up?" ”

"The crown prince is right, why can't he be the emperor!" When the eldest lady opened her mouth, she was still a little unconvinced, but when she saw the old lady angry and angry, she didn't dare to say it.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

The old lady sighed, walked to Yuxin's side, and saw that the granddaughter was blank and confused, and the old lady also felt a little sorry for the granddaughter: "Child, grandpa only asks you one sentence, this matter, from beginning to end, do you know it or not!" ”

Yu Xin's empty eyes moved, and she cried out with a wow: "Grandpa, my granddaughter doesn't know anything, she doesn't know anything!" The granddaughter doesn't want to marry the prince, grandpa! ”

The old lady stroked Yuxin's hair, and her voice looked unusually old: "You are a good boy, grandpa knows how to go." The Yang family has raised you for so many years, given you an honorable and decent life, and let you enjoy wealth and prosperity, and now it is time for you to do something for the Yang family. In a few days, grandpa will find you a nunnery, and you ...... Twist your hair and go to be a sister-in-law! ”

"Grandpa!" Yuxin only felt a thunderbolt explode above her head on a sunny day, and suddenly fell to her knees and cried loudly. While crying, he shouted: "Grandpa, you can't do this to me!" ”

The eldest lord and the eldest lady were also stunned, they didn't expect the old lady to be so ruthless, and would rather let Yuxin twist her hair to be a sister-in-law than let her marry into the East Palace.

"Father!"

"Father's kindness!"

The husband and wife begged for mercy together, and burst into tears for a while.

The old lady was also a little excited: "I knew it earlier, why bother in the first place!" The Yang family has hundreds of families, and they can't be so hastily thrown into the prince's camp because Xin'er is alone! I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say more! After a pause, he said with difficulty: "Boss, if you still have a little fatherly heart, help Xin'er find a good nunnery, so that the child will suffer less!" ”
