It is not easy to be the favorite concubine of the monarch.

Usually brocade clothes and jade food, slaves and maids are in groups, high on top, although noble, but at critical moments, they have to go up.

For example, now, before Linghu Feng was injured, he could be called dignified, but now he fell from the horse, his head touched the ground first, his face was damaged, his head was wrapped with bandages, and the wounds that bloomed out of the flesh coexisted with large abrasions, and the miserable white complexion was intertwined with the sickly red, and the view was terrifying, the bridge of the nose was inverted, and it was unbearable to see, and from time to time he coughed up some blood clots and blood foam, which splashed on the body of Song's jade fat, which ruined the scenery.

But naturally laughing and charming, the Song family still has to be angry, and the apricot eyes must be circulated, releasing a first-class affectionate vein.

The most important thing is Song's eyes, which are seductive.

Half an hour later, Linghu Fengrao was lying still, sweating, panting and retreating.

He took a look at the leak, calculated the time it took to do things, struggled to stand up, took out a powerful posture, looked at the Song family, and asked, "Compared to before the injury, how is Lone tonight?" ”

Song replied softly: "The more the concubine can't stand it." ”

Ling Hu Feng was satisfied, proudly despised His Royal Highness's palace maid, and said as if declaring: "The lonely male wind has not fallen! ”

The Song family was going to be some virtuous escorts, and the outside and inside eunuchs reported that the Zuo family was coming.

Although Linghu Feng said that he was vicious, when he was in danger, his son could not do without, but he was not a person without the slightest affection, and the Zuo family and his husband and wife in distress had a much higher status in his heart than the Song family, so he asked the Song family to go out and call the Zuo family in.

Zuo and Song met at the entrance of the hall, and the two saluted each other and passed by.

Zuo came to the temple.

Linghu Feng said, "There is no need to salute. He asked, "Why haven't you gone to bed in the middle of the night?" ”

"The king's injuries have not healed, and the concubine is restless. Hearing that the king woke up, the concubine died and came to greet him. ”

"Very well!"

There was an indescribable smell in the hall, and the Song family had just left, so it was self-evident what Linghu Fengshi was doing.

Zuo's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, worried about his injury, and wanted to give a few words, but knowing that Linghu Feng would not listen, he simply stopped talking, changed the topic, and said: "There is something, the concubine wants to ask the king to be the master." ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the afternoon, the lord of Xianmei went to the palace to visit the king, and the king went to bed at the time, because she did not see her."

"Lao Chen has already told me about this."

Zuo said: "What the concubine wants to say is not only this. ”

"What's that?"

"Duke Wu Xing died early, leaving only a daughter of the lord of Xianmei, who had passed the age of marriage and had not married for a long time. The concubine thought, is it time to find a good match for her? ”

The name of the lord of Xianmei is Ling Huyan. Linghu Feng's father is two brothers, his father is the eldest, and Wuxing Gong is the youngest. According to the seniority, Xianmei Weng Lord Ling Huyan is Ling Hufeng's younger sister, but she is not very old, seventeen years old this year.

mentioned Ling Huyan's marriage, and Ling Hufeng had a headache.

He said angrily: "Three years ago, I found her husband's house, but it didn't work to find one, but she couldn't find two, and she was not satisfied with all of them." Three days and two heads entered the palace, and the chickens and dogs in the palace were restless all day long! I wanted to marry her off a long time ago, but what can I do if I can't marry her? ”

Ling Huyan's father is a good-natured person, Ling Huyan has been pampered since she was a child, and she is also contaminated with Hu Feng, often folded hakama and rode horses, either hunting in the wild, or swaggering through the market. Ling Hufeng said that "she is not satisfied with all of them", in fact, there are also those who are satisfied, but the other party is not satisfied, and the excuse is polite. As a result, Ling Huyan's marriage has been delayed until now, and she is still in the boudoir.

Most of the women of the time got married in the fourteenth or fifth five-year period. In order to encourage childbearing, according to the law, the state will punish those who have not married by the age of 15 and charge double the poll tax. Due to intermarriage, political marriage, etc., some girls even married at the age of eleven or twelve, and gave birth to children at thirteen or fourteen. Ling Huyan is seventeen years old this year, and she will be twenty in a few years, so she really can't delay it any longer.

Linghu Feng understood the Zuo clan and asked, "Yingluonu, why did you suddenly mention this?" Do you have a choice? ”

Zuo said: "The concubine body thinks that General Xin and Lord Xianmei seem to be quite compatible. ”

"Agua?"

"General Xin has not yet married a family, although his family voice is a little lower, but General Xin is kind and calm, if the beautiful lord marries him, he will not suffer any grievances in the future."

Ling Hufeng stretched out his hand to touch his beard, and after touching the air, he remembered that in order to facilitate his treatment, his beard was shaved off by the eunuch.

He lowered his hand and raised it again, gently scratching his itchy hair under the bandage.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ling Hu Feng said: "The day before yesterday, I moved General Agua Wuwei, and Song Fang thought that the products of other places were insufficient. Yingluonu, you have a good idea. What about low clan prestige? married to our family, who would dare to despise him again? I thought to myself, "It's just a little bit of a shame that I can't help but be beautiful." It doesn't matter either. If Agua really has a mistake, I can find another home for Xianmei. ”

Yang Chao was very good, and Ling Hu Feng vigorously promoted Xin Er, just to let him fight with the valve clan so that he could make a profit.

As the saying goes, "Heaven is ruthless", in the face of power, personal likes and dislikes are not worth mentioning. Linghu is the lord and has great ambitions, and he doesn't care about the emotion of "boring", even if he does like Xiner, but when it is time to take advantage of it, he does not hesitate.

And the valve clan has deep roots and strong power, so Linghu Feng is still jealous, release Zhang Jin first, and although he is angry with Song Fang, he still doesn't kill him, and he just changes his position, but how can he be his enemy? Even with the support of Linghu Feng, when the fight is white-hot, Xin Er will inevitably lose.

Xin Er's defeat made the fisherman here profitable, and by that time, he must have grabbed a lot of benefits. The protracted political struggle was not conducive to the realization of his ambitions, and in order to alleviate the violent contradictions, it was impossible to say that at that time, Xin Er would be used as an outcast, and his head would be given to the valve clan as a short truce and reconciliation.

These were all things that Ling Hu Feng had thought about before he was promoted.

The only problem is that Xin Er's clan reputation is indeed a little lower, which worries Hu Feng that he may not be able to survive three rounds. The fewer rounds Xin Er holds, the less he will benefit. Of course, he really hopes that Xin Er can hold on a little more. But the hometown, he can use brutal means to help Xin Er improve, the clan is looking forward to this thing, relying on the reputation and official position of his ancestors, he can't help.

At this time, Zuo's proposed to marry Ling Huyan to Xin Er.

Ling Hu Feng smacked it carefully, and felt that this was a good strategy.

It's true that Xin Er's clan reputation is low, but if Ling Huyan is married to him, he will become Ling Hufeng's brother-in-law, just like a member of the royal family's relatives. With this layer of gold plating, Linghu Fengdu will probably be able to fight with the valve clan a few more times.

As for Ling Huyan, anyway, there are many widows who remarry, and then choosing a good family for her will be regarded as compensation.

How did Zuo know Linghu Feng's "Imperial Heart Technique"? Just when he was sincere about marrying Linghu Yanxu to Xin Er, he thought happily: "Ah Gua and Xianmei are married, and I am a relative, and I will be able to rely on him more in the future!" ”

Hearing Linghu Feng smiled: "Yingluo slave, you said that Xianmei should not suffer any grievances if she marries Agua." According to the beautiful temperament, I see, I only hope that Agua will not be wronged! ”

First, the marriage of the royal family is not something that can be done just as it is said; Considering that he currently needs to be familiar with the official situation, it is also to avoid him being distracted, therefore, although Ling Hufeng agreed on this matter with Zuo, he did not rush to do it, but only instructed Zuo to find an opportunity to tell Ling Huyan about this matter in private.

At the urging of Linghu Feng, Chen Sun found a book order early the next morning to write a recruitment order, presented it to him, and issued it on the same day.

Ling Zhiyun: Jin Wen accepts the recitation of the public opinion, so it can attract Yingqi and the beauty of Shi Yong. The situation is lonely and virtuous, wisdom is not far away, and you don't want to hear rumors to mirror yourself! The internal and external bureaucrats, each of them searched for virtuous people, did not stick to the family, and entered widely to prevent the lonely.

Xin Er heard this edict in General Wuwei's mansion.

Yesterday, he completed the handover of the Governor's Mansion Zuo Changshi, and today, it is the turn of General Wuwei's Mansion to sit in the hall.

General Wuwei does not need to be handed over.

This position has not been set up in Dingxi for many years.

There were no ready-made assistants in the general's palace, except for a few officials transferred from the governor's palace and the pastoral office, the others had to be eliminated by themselves. Changshi Yang Chao and Sima Zhang Gui have already decided, and the rest, some of Xin Er selected the available recruits from his former Yingyang General's Mansion and Jiankang County Mansion, some of them were hired from old friends, and some accepted Yang Chao's recommendation and extended the invitation.

It is not a trivial matter for the lord of the mansion to get rid of his subordinates, and this is an important opportunity for the lord of the mansion to recruit talents and cultivate wings.

The candidate of every official, Xin Er and Yang Chao and Zhang Gui have repeatedly scrutinized.

Compared with the handover of the Governor's Mansion, the personnel preparation of the General Wuwei Mansion is really more laborious.

Fortunately, Xin Er has soared down, and his reputation has also been greatly boosted compared to the past. Xin Er's book was only submitted yesterday, and the order replied by the imperial court has not yet been issued, and Yang Chao and Zhang Gui have not officially taken office, but the two of them and Xiang Kui have followed his left and right, busy before and after; Many of the documents for the appointment were written by Yang and Zhang.

After a busy day, in the evening, Linghu Feng's order to seek talent came down to the house.

In the order to seek talents, it is said that "internal and external bureaucrats", Xin Er also has the obligation to recommend.

After reading the decree, Xin Er tasted the meaning of the four words "not sticking to the door".

Yang Chao sighed: "The king's order will change, and the government and the opposition will change." ”

Xin Er thinks so.

Only four days later, Tangchang County, the Qiao County between Dunhuang and Jiuquan, was the first to undergo major changes.

Tang Chang kept the book, listing all kinds of favoritism deeds in Tangchang County, setting high grades for the children of in-laws who were disadvantaged in talent and morality, changing the hometown products for the scholars who paid bribes, and so on; Impeachment was strictly worded, and he was asked to be removed from office and another person was recommended to take over.

The impeached incumbent Zhongzheng is a native of Longzhou who is an official in the DPRK; The other person recommended is Zhishi's home-based resident.

Xin Er was worried and thought, "Linghu Feng is dizzy? Could it be that he broke his head when he fell from his horse? It has suppressed the Zhang and Song clans, and issued this order to seek talents, provoking disputes between counties and counties. In Dingxi, I'm afraid it's going to be a mess! I vaguely guessed the reason why Linghu Feng was "dizzy", "Could it be that Linghu was in a hurry to realize his ambitions, so he lost patience and acted perversely?" ”

From the afternoon when he heard the news, until the evening, his mind could not be calm.

Xin Er felt that a whirlpool was forming, getting bigger and bigger, and it had spread from the court to the nearby and far counties. And this whirlpool started with him succeeding Song Fang. After eating dinner absentmindedly, Xin Er lay down on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Liu Lerouxiang's body approached, grabbed his arm, and she asked in a low voice, "Everyone, aren't you sleepy?" Touching Xin Er's chest, he said, "Everyone, you're so hot." ”

"There's a volcano under the bed, how can it not be hot?"

"Volcano?"

"yes. The crater is right up the sleeve, and the magma will erupt at any moment! ”

"Everyone, what is a volcano and what is magma?"

Xin Er didn't want to use his troubles to affect Liu Le, so he didn't answer, and thought to himself: "The day before yesterday, I had already submitted the letter that was in turmoil and could be taken advantage of. Linghu Feng has no palindrome yet. I don't know what he thinks? Did you consult Sun Yan? Tomorrow I have to ask the priest. He stroked Liu Le's cheek lovingly, and said with a smile, "Magma, you can ask Ah Ugly another day, and you'll know." ”

Thinking of the strange sound he heard outside Xiner's tent at night in Zebian, Liu Lejin knew its meaning, listened to Xiner's words, and knew that what he said was not a serious and good thing, so he blushed and hid in his arms, rubbing his forehead, and humming coquettishly.

The moon is bright in the courtyard, and the autumn flowers are fragrant.

Longzhou is adjacent to the west, Xianyang, the royal capital of Puqin.

Similar to Xin Er, Pu Mao is also full of worries these days.
