It took only three days for the holy driver to set off from the river trough and arrive at the Nanshitrough Palace through Yaji Mountain and Yuanyuan Temple. Prince Zheng and Prince Yi and several other ministers of Zanxiang have been busy as ever in the past three days, dealing with several major events while hurrying on the road!

First, through the exchange of official documents with the cabinet scholars and the six ministries and nine secretaries who stayed in the capital, they discussed the name of the Emperor of Daxing, called Emperor Xian, and the temple name was called Wenzong, which was matched with the ancestors, and it was also a temple that was immortal for a hundred generations; the second is to formulate "Qixiang" as the new year name; Third, I would like to enshrine the Empress Dowager Empress Dowager as Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the Empress Dowager Emblem as Empress Dowager Cixi;

Han Xiufeng didn't know if the empress dowager of the two palaces had nodded on behalf of the emperor, but only knew that the river trough was the junction of the Beijing camp and the eight banners of the Zhili garrison and the Zhili green camp defense area, not only the eight banners of the Beijing camp who stayed in the capital all led the troops, but even Prince Gong, Zhou Zuyin, Gui Liang and Wen Xiang and other princes and ministers who stayed in the capital and hundreds of civil and military officials had also been ordered to come here to greet them.

Although they didn't see Emperor Zigong of Daxing, they were already crying darkly.

According to a eunuch who had been serving in it for most of the day, the two queen mothers also cried very sadly, but still endured their grief to summon the princes and ministers.

Prince Zheng and Prince Yi are not good and dare not stop them, otherwise they will bully the "orphans and widows", and if they really arouse public indignation, they may really be eaten alive by those princes and ministers who stayed in the capital. All this made Han Xiufeng realize that although several of them were both ministers of military aircraft and ministers of Zanxiang of the first emperor's entrustment, there was a good chance that their words would not be good in the future, even if the edict of Emperor Daxing was revealed!

Just thinking about how Su Shun would feel if he saw all this, Wen Xiang walked over quickly, and without waiting for him to speak, he looked at him and Wang Qianli, Wang Hedong and Qingxian beside him and said: "The emperor has given an edict, and Han Xiufeng, the secretary of the court, has received the order. ”

"Minister Han Xiufeng (Wang Hedong), respectfully invite St. Ann!"

"St. Bow." Wen Xiang cleared his throat and stared at the four of them: "With the merit of escorting, Han Xiufeng, the secretary of the hospital, drove back to Beijing with him; With the help of killing, leading the troops in a good way, rewarding the deputy general of Xuanhua Town, Wang Hedong Wuyong Batu Luyong, and Wang Hedong led the river campers, and immediately went to Shandong to listen to the dispatch of the monk Greenqin! ”

Han Xiufeng was taken aback, thinking to himself that where was the emperor's message, it was clearly the idea of the queen mother of the two palaces.

Thinking that the emperor is also the emperor no matter how young he is, Prince Zheng, Prince Yi and Mu Yin, who should have made a difference, have not done anything, and Su Shun, who has the opinion to make a difference, is likely not to have reached Miyun at this time, and the water is far away from quenching his thirst, Han Xiufeng can only stubbornly say: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Wang Hedong didn't want to go to Shandong just like that, let alone go to work under Seng Lingqin, but he didn't dare to resist the decree, so he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing that Han Xiufeng did not openly resist the decree, Wen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Nanyuan Langzhong is a thousand miles of kings, diligent in work, proficient in Yi affairs, and walks on the prime minister's yamen Zhangjing; In order to do the errand effectively, the reward has been reformed through the political envoy of the Senate Qingxian five-grade top belt, and the director of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court is admirable. ”

"Obey."

"The slave receives the order, and the slave thanks the emperor Longen."

Whether to continue to be Nanyuan Langzhong or go to the Prime Minister's Yamen on an errand, Wang Qianli actually doesn't matter. But Qingxian's feeling is completely different, although he is not reinstated as an official, he is no longer a criminal official, and he can go home openly. can even imagine that as long as he serves the court well, not only will his eldest brother be able to return to Beijing from the bitter cold land sooner or later, but even Amma, who was given his death, will be able to avenge his grievances sooner or later.

Because of this, he is really grateful, and constantly kowtows to thank him. If Wen Xiang hadn't helped him up, his forehead might have been broken.

He was able to see the moon when the clouds opened, and Han Xiufeng was happy for him in his heart, but when he thought of the situation in front of him and Su Shun who was pulled far behind, he didn't feel good in his heart.

Wen Xiang, who was thinking about it and comforted him, turned around and said: "Zhixing, I have been ordered to help Zhang Luo with the food and salary of the Hedong people on the way to Shandong, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Brother Bochuan, is it appropriate to let them go to Shandong at this time?" Han Xiufeng stared at him and asked.

"I patronized the long hair before, I never thought that the bandit was more difficult to deal with than the long hair, the monk Lingqin was very tight, and he had already connected the four excerpts to ask for the transfer of troops, and now the soldiers who can really go into battle to kill the thieves are left in the river camp." Wen Xiang walked forward with him, and continued: "Actually, there is another layer of consideration for sending Hedong and them to Shandong. ”

"What considerations?" Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice.

"Before the first emperor patrolled Mulan, didn't you lead them to fight a battle at Bali Bridge in Hedong, and killed and injured many foreign soldiers. Because of this, they were remembered by foreigners in Hedong. If the river camp is allowed to stay in Gyeonggi, it will not only hinder the peace situation, but also cause another military provocation. And the imperial court is in an eventful season, and it can't stand the toss anymore. ”

"That's all?"

"That's it, Zhixing, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Han Xiufeng looked back behind him, saw that there was no one else around, and asked bluntly: "Brother Bochuan, do Prince Zheng, Prince Yi and Mu Yin know about this?" ”

"You know, if you don't believe it, you can ask." Although Wen Xiang said this, there was something wrong with his eyes.

Han Xiufeng was silent for a moment, stared at him and said meaningfully: "Don't ask, if you even have your surname, brother, who else can I Han Xiufeng trust!" ”

Wen Xiang suddenly turned around, looked at the soldiers of the river camp who were being urged by a few guards, and said lightly: "Zhixing, it is said that fools have foolish blessings, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it." When the first emperor was alive, the big-headed saint Enlong. Now that the first emperor has died, the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces actually think that he is honest and available. ”

"Is it, so that the big head can be promoted again?"

"I don't know if he will be promoted or not, but I dare to conclude that he will not lose his position." Wen Xiang paused, and then said: "Yu'er is also very good, I heard that she has been serving by the Queen Mother's side these days. ”

Han Xiufeng knew very well that he would not mention the big head for no reason, let alone Ren Yu'er for no reason, and said absentmindedly: "Yes, she has been serving by the Queen Mother's side these days, and I haven't seen her for several days." ”

"Don't worry, Yu'er is so smart, you can see sooner or later." Wen Xiang paused, and then changed his words: "Zhixing, the emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces ordered me to return to Beijing first, it is not a trivial matter for the holy car to return to Beijing, not to mention that the Daxing Emperor Zigong will also return to Beijing soon, and I will be busy next, so I have to be prepared." Your original errand has also been unloaded, so you might as well come with me. ”

His soldiers were sent to Shandong, and the two cronies were all promoted, and Qingxian was grateful. Datou and Yu'er, who are not relatives but are better than relatives, are now like hostages who want to see and can't see them, Han Xiufeng realized that he had no other choice but to listen to Wenxiang's return to the capital first, so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "As long as the emperor approves it." ”

"The emperor will be gracious, let Xiao Shandong hurry up and pack his luggage."

……

Qingxian became an official again and wanted to accompany him.

Wang Qianli has a new errand and wants to be used by Prince Gong's side.

Han Xiufeng took Xiao Shandong like this and returned to the capital with Wen Xiang first.

never thought of the capital, Wen Xiang neither let him go to the Yamen of the Shangyuan Courtyard, nor let him go back to the Chongqing Hall, but sent him to the house in Dazhiqiao Hutong, and the long-awaited Temulun and Lin Qingyuan and others helped settle down, and left a sentence before leaving, "Don't go out if you have nothing to do, don't go out if you have something"!

Sending Wen Xiang away, looking back at Temulun and other old subordinates, Han Xiufeng couldn't help it, stared at them and asked, "How many people, I'm imprisoned, right?" ”

"Fourth master, what are you talking about, give us a few guts and we won't dare to imprison you."

"That's house arrest?"

"Fourth master, Lord Wen is asking a few brothers to accompany you, but Lord Wen is also good for you."

"For my own good, what's wrong with me, am I corrupt or rebellious?"

"Fourth master, don't ask, a few of us said that Zhang Jing, who was on an errand in the Prime Minister's Yamen, was actually an errand runner, how would we know about the prince and the adults. We only know that we have to serve you well, if you want to play cards, we will play cards with you. If you want to eat, let's accompany you. If you want to listen to the music, I'll go to the troupe. ”

Han Xiufeng asked with a gloomy face: "Emperor Daxing Bintian has not yet reached two months, can he listen to the drama now?" ”

"Nowhere else, but here, you have no taboos. Master Wen has explained that as long as it makes you happy, as long as you don't go out, you can do anything. ”

As soon as Temulun's words fell, Lin Qingyuan took out a stack of letters as if offering a treasure: "Fourth master, Rishengchang was robbed by foreigners, but fortunately, foreigners don't need letters as long as they have money, and the little ones went to stare at those guys for two days, and finally found your letter." ”

"Fourth master, the family letter is worth a thousand gold, or you can take a look at the family letter first, the banquet will be delivered immediately, and when the wine and food are put on the table, we will give you the wind."

"Well, don't embarrass you."

Han Xiufeng went back to the room and read the letters for a while, some were sent by his father-in-law, some were written by his eldest brother and nephew Shi Tong Shida, and there were Pan Er and Zhuzi.

There is nothing to do at home, Qin'er is very good, the two babies are not only smart and sensible, but the eldest brother and the second brother have more ideas, one thinks that his son is late in enlightenment, and the gentleman who was invited in the countryside before is not highly educated, not to mention the examination of the Jinshi, I am afraid that even Xiucai will not be able to pass the exam, and he plans to donate a literary supervisor to his son.

One thinks that such a big family can't be left without one in the county government, and plans to send his son to the county government house or the military room to help the idlemen, and wait for the vacancy of scribes in the county government rooms, and then spend some money to find a few people to protect the top, although he is only a scrivener, but at least he can be exempted from forced labor and taxes, and he can also help take care of the family.

Pan Er was talking about the group training, but Han Xiufeng didn't want to think about it at all, because everything he had experienced in the past few days made him realize that the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Prince Gong and other princes and ministers who stayed in the capital would make big moves, and they must be planning how to deal with Su Shun and other ministers of Zanxiang who were the first emperor to entrust Gu.

But with the edict of Emperor Daxing, what can they do?

What's more, it is the ancestral family law that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if the official heart, the flag heart, the military heart, and the people's heart are all on their side, can they still ignore the edict of the Daxing Emperor in the face of the world's disapproval, and instruct the civil and military officials to attack it in groups, remove the officials of Su Shun and others, and reform the posts of Su Shun and others?

Thinking that this was similar to a rebellion, Han Xiufeng felt that the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Prince Gong should not and would not dare to do so. can think of Wen Xiang's arrangements for slashing, and feel that they are really likely to be tough on Su Shun and others!
