After thinking about it, it was difficult to decide, and when it was time to hold the lamp, Ling Ruo suddenly remembered that he had never seen Hongli today, and asked Shui Xiu and the others who were serving dinner strangely: "Didn't the fourth elder brother come back from class today?" ”

Shui Xiu and the others glanced at each other and shook their heads and said, "If you go back to your master, the slave and the maid have not seen each other today, will they go to Concubine Yu's place?" ”

As soon as he spoke, he saw Hongli walking in with deerskin boots, and said to Ling Ruo in the hall: "Erchen has seen Eniang." ”

Ling Ruo beckoned and said, "Well, why did you come back so late, where did you go?" ”

"Erchen ......" Hongli looked a little hesitant, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said: "Erchen didn't dare to deceive Erniang, when he got out of class today, the third brother came to find Erchen, and he sent two jade pendants to Erchen and Hongday, and then went to stay with Hongday and talked for a while. After speaking, he handed a jade pendant carved with a turtle and crane pattern all over the emerald green body to Ling Ruo.

"Hongsheng?" Ling Ruo took the jade pendant with some surprise, the tentacles were warm and the carving was delicate, and she could see the preciousness of the jade pendant at a glance, "Where did he get this from?" ”

"The third brother said that it was given to him by his uncle, this jade pendant is a set of twelve, with different patterns, the son is a turtle and crane, and Hongday is a bat." Speaking of this, he was afraid that Ling Ruo would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Erchen knows that Lu Dao should not accept gifts from outsiders, but the third brother insists on giving it, and Erchen is afraid that refusing will make the third brother sad, so he has to accept it and talk about it...... The third brother is not an outsider either. The voice behind him was very soft, obviously afraid of Ling Ruo's blame, but he still insisted on finishing the whole sentence.

Ling Ruo looked at him silently for a while, then returned the jade pendant to him and said, "Since the third elder brother gave it to you, you can keep it alive, but you still don't have to come and go often in the future......

Hongli asked a little sadly: "What is it for, doesn't Eniang like the third brother?" ”

"Naturally not, E-Niang is just afraid that if you get too close, you will not like it when you are discovered by Nian Guifei. You should also know the relationship between Lu Dao Eniang and Nian Guifei. What's more......" she lowered her eyes, "The relationship that really has to be good will not change because of less movement." ”

"Erchen understands." In fact, what Ling Ruo said, Hongli understands, and because of this, he has been with the unnoticeable concubine in the afternoon.

"Okay, let's eat, today there is your favorite bamboo chicken and steamed sea bass." Ling Ruo stood up, and when his sleeve passed over Fang Ji next to him, he didn't quite take down the letter paper placed on it, and it fell lightly to the ground. Hongli glanced at it when he picked it up, and found that it was a letter written by his uncle Rongxiang, who wanted to go with the army to quell the Guo Luoke rebellion.

"Eniang, will you promise your uncle?" When he sat in the chair, Hongli was not in a hurry to eat, but asked.

Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "E-Niang hasn't thought about it yet, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, it's too dangerous, selfishly speaking, E-Niang, like your grandfather, doesn't want your brother-in-law to take this risk." “

For some reason, Hongli suddenly waved his hand excitedly when he heard this: "A man should protect his family and defend the country, and he will be on the battlefield; As General Song Shiyue said in the poem "Man Jianghong", "Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood". Moreover, if everyone is like Eniang who doesn't want their families to fight and take risks, who will defend the family, the country, and the society. ”

"Are you teaching E-Niang a lesson?" When he heard Ling Ruo say this, Hongli was shocked that his tone was too excited, and hurriedly said: "Erchen didn't, Erchen just said what he thought in his heart." When he was with the third brother today, the third brother also said that he wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately Nian Guifei did not agree, so he had to give up. ”

"Hongsheng is a brother, how can he easily take risks." She rolled her eyes and said, "Then according to Hongli's meaning, E-Niang should agree to your uncle's request?" ”

"If you change your son-in-law to be your brother-in-law, you will definitely hope that E-niang agrees." Under the candlelight of the brilliance, Hongli's dark eyes revealed a strange brilliance, which made Ling Ruo understand something at once, going to the battlefield may not be Hongsheng's idea alone, Hongli also has a share.

Looking at him, Ling Ruo nodded slowly, "E-Niang understands, later, E-Niang will go to find your Emperor Ama." ”

Only those who stand up from the pile of dead can become famous generals through the ages, since Rong Xiang is not willing to live a mediocre life, hoping to earn a reputation for the ages by herself, she should fully support her as a sister. She also hopes that Niu Hulu's family can produce a famous general.

In this way, the matter was settled, and the next day, the officials received Yinzhen's words and transferred Rong Xiang from the firearms battalion to the Northwest Army, under Yue Zhongqi.

Almost as soon as the order was issued, the army set off for the northwest, and as when it came, hundreds of officials were sent to the suburbs, but what was unexpected was that Nian Qianyao actually asked the officials below the prince to kneel and send it. This incident made hundreds of officials extremely resistant, ten years of cold window, for a while the gold list nomination earned fame, I thought it was also a glorious ancestor, raised his eyebrows, but he didn't want to be forced to kneel for a while, it can be said that he was ashamed and angry.

On the same day, at the triumphal banquet, the old man who had satirized Nian Qianyao was the first to see him so arrogant and rude, and regarded him as a subordinate attitude, and relied on his qualifications and official position, and resolutely refused to kneel. Not only that, but he also spoke sharply, accusing Nian Qianyao in front of everyone.

No one expected the rest of the matter, Nian Qianyao directly ordered his sergeants to arrest him, and punished him with thirty sticks for committing the crime.

The old man immediately scolded, there were all kinds of ugly words, and Nian Qianyao was angry, so he changed to fifty military sticks and executed them in public. Whoever is reprimanded must take off his trousers. The old man has studied and taken exams all his life, how has he ever suffered such humiliation, coupled with his old age and weak body, he fainted after a few hits, and Nian Qianyao ignored Yunxiang's persuasion and insisted on beating fifty sticks before stopping.

This hit the boss with half his life, and when he was taken down, he was already angry, although Yun Xiang passed the imperial doctor to the house to treat his injuries in time, whether he could be safe and sound, Yun Xiang was not confident.

Nian Qianyao's arrogance has exceeded Yun Xiang's imagination, seeing that the hundred officials knelt down to Nian Qianyao in humiliation because of the bloody lesson of the boss, the yin in his eyes became more and more intense, this person is too dangerous, taking advantage of the time of war, getting rid of Nian Qianyao, it is indeed the best rebellion, and then let Nian Qianyao go down, otherwise the rebellion is only a matter of time.

This matter unexpectedly reached Yinzhen, and while sending Sixi to the old man's mansion to comfort him, it also made him more determined to get rid of Nian Qianyao at any cost.

In the afternoon, Yun Xiang entered the palace to meet him, and also said about the old man, and said: "Your Majesty, Nian Qianyao's behavior of humiliating the court officials in public and treating them as subordinate servants has aroused the disgust of all the adults. ”
