Wenwu six years, the evening of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wang Lanling sat on the sofa in the small living room of the main hall of the Xianshui Palace, wearing a silky down jacket on his shoulders and playing chess with Xiao Ai.

In the distance, there was a roaring firewood in the fireplace, and Bo Yan was holding the already cooked salted bun and roasting it in front, using two chopsticks inserted into the salty bun.

Ah Luo has already slept, and the children who are too young do not have the physical strength to stay up late, such as Bo Yan's two younger brothers who also fell asleep with Rengui sitting on the bed.

Wang Lanling just came back from the county, because the materials are sufficient this year, and because there are fewer people in some families, Wang Lanling arranged for everyone to celebrate the New Year together.

Basically, there are no relatives here, everyone is relatives to each other, taking care of each other, and spending this cold winter together.

"Bo Yan, let's drink some sugar water." Zhao Wenrou walked to Bo Yan with a bowl of sugar water.

Bo Yan obediently lowered his head to the bowl, took a sip and stopped drinking, and continued to roast his salty buns, wanting to bake crispy and eat them again.

Zhao Wenrou went to wake up the children who were asleep again, and fed them a sip of sugar water one by one.

Several children were in a daze, and after being woken up in a daze, they drank a small sip of sugar water in a daze, and then fell asleep again in a daze.

They probably can't remember what they've drunk or what they've said.

Soon Zhao Wenrou brought a small bowl of sugar water over, "Husband, drink brown sugar water, it's sweet for a year." ”

Wang Lanling was afraid of the heat, so he gently took a sip of brown sugar water and felt the taste of medicine, so he stopped drinking it and continued to be busy with the next move.

Zhao Wenrou drank the brown sugar water slowly on the side, and also watched the chess game between Wang Lanling and Xiao Ai.

When he was concentrating on playing chess, a little baby in the distance suddenly started crying, which immediately made everyone in the room look over.

The children slept soundly and were not disturbed, Wang Lanling saw that it was the little baby that Elena was holding and cried, so he stood up and put down the chess pieces and walked over.

"How's it going, are you hungry?" Wang Lanling walked up to Elena, looked at the little baby that Elena was holding, and asked softly.

Elena quickly said, "It's pee, I'll go change a diaper, don't be here to argue with you." ”

Wang Lanling said gently: "It's okay, it's all my women and children, there's nothing noisy or not." ”

Xiao Ai walked over and took the initiative to say, "I'll help you." ”

Elena and Xiao Ai have known each other in Tongzhou, so they nodded at this time and said, "Hmm." ”

Wang Lanling was watching Elena and Xiao Ai change the child's diaper, and Zhao Wenrou was also watching because of Wang Lanling's relationship.

Seeing this, Xu Baifeng smiled and said, "Master, what are you looking at here?" Now that it's the New Year, you should look at something clean, a few young masters and young ladies are sleepy, and I think Mrs. is too tired to do it, so she should rest! ”

Wang Lanling found that he was also in the way here, so he said with a smile: "It's really time to rest, it's been a busy day, everyone is tired, have a good rest today, don't get up so early tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you sleep until noon." ”

"Yes!"

A few maidservants came over and began to carry the sleeping children back to the room, and even Bo Yan was driven away by Zhao Wenrou.

Lei A hugged Xiao Aluo back to the room to rest, Wang Lanling saw that many people were sleepy, so he went back to the house with Zhao Wenrou, who had been waiting.

Zhao Wenrou has been waiting for it today, whether it is Lu Leia or the rest of the people, they can see it clearly.

Jin Ji Jin Nu has always taken care of others, and today Wang Lanling gave the two of them a day off to rest and rest.

When he walked back to the room with Zhao Wenrou, Wang Lanling said to Xu Baifeng, "Come to my room a little later." ”

After Xu Baifeng heard it, he said with a smile: "Master, you are really energetic today!" ”

Wang Lanling also smiled and said, "Well, you can also drink the little brown sugar water that Rou'er drank left." ”

Xu Baifeng agreed, Zhao Wenrou is not only the hostess here, but also a very skilled pharmacist.

Martial arts have been abandoned for several years, but Zhao Wenrou has been rapidly improving his medical skills over the years.

Taking care of small children is only one aspect, it is more about making some medicine to take care of the body.

In this martial arts world, there is no shortage of medicine that makes women happy, and there is no shortage of medicine that helps people.

In Yunshui County, Yunzhou, these drugs are a good business that everyone knows.

The powerful young master and young lady of the rich and noble family know a lot about this kind of thing.

Wang Lanling slept with Zhao Wenrou, and slept with Xu Baifeng a little later.

Some things are innate, Xu Baifeng's body is white, more like the kind of graceful and luxurious, pampered lady than Zhao Wenrou.

In comparison, Zhao Wenrou is mainly flawed in temperament, while Lei A is thin and low-key all year round.

The eighteen-nine-year-old boy and the twenty-eighteen-nine-year-old lady are the time for a strong combination.

If you take medicine, it will be even more invincible.

Wang Lanling's life here is extremely comfortable, and some other people are not having a good time.

In the past few days, Hong Jingyang has grown a lot of white hair, and his face has become much haggard.

He can't control the people in the army anymore, those people are really crazy!

Hong Jingyang thought about it for many days, he now knew very well that the emperor would not move him, but he also couldn't move now!

Zhang Lifeng is also a grasshopper with a thread, and took the initiative to say: "My lord, you can't delay it now, you are a state pastor, you can't take risks in this kind of thing, it's better to explain things directly to the saint, you haven't done anything, and the saint won't punish you." ”

Hong Jingyang glanced at Zhang Lifeng with annoyance, "The Holy Lord won't embarrass me, but I can't tell the court about this matter, if I say it, I'm the one who is in trouble!" ”

The problem here is very complex.

The old emperor could not control this huge empire, and he was not worried about the level of local officials, and feared rebellion in some places, so he set up garrisons in various states.

The people in charge of these garrisons are naturally the Jiang family, not the local consul system.

The current problem is that the emperor gradually can't control the army below, and the garrison troops gradually produce spokespersons because of their interests, and these spokespersons are the Jiang family who have enjoyed the benefits and have been elected by forces and interests!

These garrisons, which had become bandits, were not subject to the jurisdiction of either the local government or the imperial court, and they were constantly expanding and consolidating their interests.

The army was full of descendants of the nobles who had been honored many years ago, and in the absence of war, civilians and soldiers from small families would never have come to the fore.

Meritorious aristocrats were accustomed to turning their rights into profits, and drove their subordinates to buy properties in nearby counties and counties, and set up salt and iron shops, gambling houses, brothels, and tobacco houses.

After the men were fed meat, they didn't want to eat and drink anymore.

The current situation is that those who are in charge want to stop, and the people below refuse to do it!

Are you full? You'll stop when you're full, and you won't let us do it?!

Killing one or two can no longer solve the problem, whether it is the state pastor or the military leader, they are all pushed forward by the people below.

Hong Jingyang really has no problem in this, but he knows very well that once the army is in chaos, the people above must kill him to appease the army and attribute all the mistakes to him!

The governor of Muzhou is the Jiang family, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Jiang family, and the emperor can't move this person, he can only move Hong Jingyang!

The army of a state, the state pastor of a state, there is no need to compare at all, everyone knows which is important!

Hong Peiren also frowned and thought about things, and said suspiciously: "The military department doesn't care?" ”

Hong Jingyang was furious when he heard this, "Those people are crazy!" One by one, the wine bags and rice bags, usually don't know the proportions when they take the benefits, and dare to say anything, but now the subordinates are making trouble, and they don't have the guts to care! ”

After saying angry words, Hong Jingyang quickly restrained his anger, "At the moment, we can only delay, as long as we delay until the beginning of spring, use heavy snow to block the process, and delay until the military heart stabilizes after the sound, it will be easy to do!" ”

As long as the soldiers below get the money, then there will be no trouble with some middle-level officers.

Middle-level officers are the most problematic, and they are also the easiest to gather a group of troublemakers.

Compared with the big man who doesn't care about things, these middle-level officers who don't have enough to eat are the most disobedient and the most difficult group to contain.

Qin sent over to investigate, and it was some of the above people who died, but it was these middle-level people who suffered the most serious damage to their interests.

In order not to be shuffled, these people are doing their best to make things bigger!
