The Xie family has always been led by Xie Zizhang and others, and likes to exclude and suppress people with foreign surnames, even if there are really talented scholars, there is no chance of getting ahead, the official position is not noble enough, and if you want to compete for this handsome seal, you are obviously not qualified enough.

Xie Zizhang gritted his teeth and said that he was willing to conquer Xiliang in person. As soon as he didn't know how to work hard and didn't know how to deploy troops and horses, this move naturally met with the opposition of many opposing courtiers, and the two sides argued fiercely.

Xie Xinlan sat upright all the time, but he didn't say anything, listened to the arguments in the court, and asked Yefang instead: "What does the regent think?"

Yefang kept looking at his cuffs lightly, and when he heard Xie Xinlan ask, he just raised his eyelids: "I, Chang'an, who has experienced a hundred battles now, is only the Marquis of Zhenguo and the head of the Nangong family." The Marquis of Zhenguo guarded Mobei, and the head of the Nangong family lost his beloved son, and I believe that he would be willing to personally go into battle to avenge the major general Nangong. ”

These words naturally reached Xie Xinlan's heart, and he ordered someone to go to Nangong Mansion to summon General Nangong. When I arrived, there was chaos in Nangong's house, and the head of the Nangong family heard the bad news, vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the family was as anxious as ants in a hot pot.

Returning to the palace to report, Xie Xinlan was at a loss for a while. After all, she is a woman, although she dominates the government alone, but in terms of power and strategy, she is inferior to the night release, which is the main reason why she has to keep him.

The Xie family was aggressive and recommended Xie Zizhang. Xie Xinlan had no choice but to disperse the morning dynasty and privately discussed with Yefang.

Ye Fang just groaned slightly: "Xie Zizhang is willing to go, why not give him this opportunity?"

Xie Xinlan was naturally puzzled: "You should understand the hidden meaning behind this transfer of troops. If you really hand over the tiger talisman to Xie Zizhang, it is easy to hand it over, and it may not be so simple to take it back. ”

Ye Fang smiled contemptuously: "Then send another overseer." One person is in charge of the tiger talisman, one person is in charge, and the two parties restrain each other, and no one can benefit from it. ”

Xie Xinlan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then according to you, who is the most suitable for this prison army?"

Ye Fang didn't say anything: "You already have a candidate in your heart, why do you need to borrow my mouth?"

Xie Xinlan stretched out his slender finger in disgust and nodded his forehead: "Feng Chumad is your person, do you think I can trust him?"

Ye Fang slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that now the court is not afraid of Xie Zizhang's power, and the person who can suppress him is the most suitable Feng Chu mad." Don't you think he's a bit of an eyesore these days, just in time to send it out? ”

Xie Xinlan stood on tiptoe and affectionately helped him sort out his collar: "If one day, I want to kill your good brother, will you blame me?"

Night Fang didn't think twice: "No one else matters." ”

Xie Xinlan smiled: "This is the first time you have said sweet words to me, I can understand that in your heart, I am the most important?"

The corners of Yefang's lips curled: "You understand it yourself." ”

Xie Xinlan let go of him with a smile: "I will make an edict and order Xie Zizhang to be in command, Feng Chu is mad in charge of the tiger talisman as the supervising army, recruit 20,000 troops along the way, and go to Wolong Pass!"

The military situation is in full swing, and without further ado. Xie Zizhang and Feng Chumad entered the palace to receive their orders. Xie Xinlan gave the holy decree and the tiger talisman, and immediately set off for the border pass.

The battle above the court was not weakened by this war, and the little emperor immediately showed a dazzling imperial demeanor when he first showed his edge.

He succeeded to the throne since he was a child, although he was not in power, but he was exposed to it by his ears and eyes, and he had been carefully taught by words and deeds. Now that the disguise has been removed, there is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, like a sharp sickle, quickly harvesting part of the power in the court that originally belonged to the Seven Emperor Uncles, and making these courtiers surrender willingly.

These are all unexpected by Xie Xinlan. She has relied on night releases a lot over the years, and some of her strategies and scheming are always slightly inferior. I was anxious for a while, and I had to hand over some problems to Yefang to deal with again.

The situation above the court was very delicate for a while, Hua Qianshu, a layman, seemed to be in a melee, a hammer in the east, a mallet in the west, the most difficult thing was to release it at night, it couldn't really hurt the little emperor, and it had to leave no traces, which aroused Xie Xinlan's suspicions. Thousands of reminders at night, ten thousand instructions, let her not interfere for the time being, as long as she protects herself.

More than half a month passed without incident. During this period, Xie Xinlan also deliberately made it difficult for her, and she skillfully resolved or tolerated it.

One of Xie Xinlan's favorite things to do is to let Hua Qianshu serve her and the three of them have dinner with peanuts at night. She used various means to provoke Hua Qianshu's anger, and Hua Qianshu finally decided on only one thing, that is, gritted her teeth and endured.

Otherwise, this happy scene of a family of three may come true, and this old witch will one day in the future, sleeping with her own man, beating her own child, and enjoying the country that she once defended from birth to death.

Until, one day, Commander Huo entered the palace to report that the contact with Gu Mozhi, Feng Chufang and others was all cut off. Something went wrong with the message link. All of them have disappeared inexplicably, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The last news they received was Xie Zizhang's death. Therefore, Ye Fang and Huo Commander Guess, Feng Chufang and others may not be able to fully control the situation, and news has already reached Shangjing. Xie Xinlan was suspicious.

Fortunately, the message chain was disconnected from the middle, and Xie Xinlan did not find the root of the night release. However, Xie Xinlan has been standing still and has not made any response. It's like, don't know. But Hua Qianshu is here, and an amazing news exploded in the palace in an instant.

Xie Xinlan was squinting his eyes, secretly thinking about how to attack Hua Qianshu, and try to avoid any conflict with the old lady, and the people in Pansi Cave hurriedly came to report that peanuts were born with smallpox.

Xie Xinlan sat up in shock when he heard this, this is by no means a trivial matter. After all, people who suffer from smallpox have a two-to-three chance of death, especially because the disease is so contagious that everyone in the world talks about it and is more fierce than a tiger.

Yefang was reviewing the recital on the side, frowned slightly when he heard the words, and put down the cinnabar pen in his hand: "How can smallpox be born if it is good?"

I was nervous, but I wasn't shocked. Xie Xinlan was very satisfied with this reaction: "Children, they are always a little worse in physique." ”

Yefang stood up: "Have you ever passed the imperial doctor?"

The palace man nodded: "The imperial doctor has already seen the doctor, Xiao Shizi has already started to heat last night, but no one has taken it to heart, and he almost fainted today, and the imperial doctor has seen it and said that it is going to flower." ”

Xie Xinlan glanced at him lightly: "Let's go and have a look, right?"

Yefang nodded, turned around and left without saying a word, walked quickly to the Luoxia Palace, saw the closed door, hesitated under his feet, and turned around: "I heard that smallpox is contagious." ”

Xie Xinlan smiled slightly: "We only visited outside. ”

Yefang ordered the palace people to take two face towels, covered their mouths and noses tightly with Xie Xinlan, and pushed the door in.
