That's what everyone is most worried about.

If Shi Kefa accepts Gao Yuanjue as his righteous son, then Mrs. Xing and Gao Yuanjue will have something to rely on, and they will not necessarily go south in a joint venture with Liu Yongxi, and for Liu Yongxi, who has given up the territory of Linhuai Pass, it is equivalent to a few months of hard work in vain.

When he went south from Suizhou, the rest of Gao Jie, who followed Mrs. Xing, was only more than 3,000 people, and after arriving in Xuzhou, Mrs. Xing controlled more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, which was more than the headquarters of Linhuai Town led by Liu Yongxi, and a few extremely precious red-coated cannons had to be added.

If Liu Yongxi could not marry Mrs. Xing, he might be attacked unexpectedly or even swallowed up on the way south.

Liu Yongxi saw this problem very thoroughly: "The Shi Pavilion Department wants to accept Gao Yuanjue as his righteous son, that is a good thing, I will marry him, not to mention that Li Benshen is about to return to Xuzhou, with the support of the Shi Cabinet Ministry, we can be invincible......"

It's just that when he said this, Liu Yongxi's voice became grim: "But if the Shi Pavilion Department doesn't accept this righteous son, plus the big moves of the imperial court, our opportunity will come!" ”

Speaking of which, Liu Yongxi has already smelled the smell of the spring breeze, and this winter is not too cold!

And for Ma Shiying, an assistant minister sitting in Nanjing, this winter is a warm winter in the real sense.

Although it is not as said outside, "the warm wind smokes the tourists and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou", but the Ma Shiying Mansion of the Chicken and Goose Pavilion has been a city since he entered the cabinet, and it has been very lively recently.

That's because the court can no longer hear the voice of opposing Ma Shiying, and even Zhang Guowei, a neutral faction who was once close to Ma Shiying, can't gain a foothold in the southern capital, and the entire court is naturally controlled by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng's comrades, Ma Shiying is now the real prime minister, how can he feel the faint chill of winter.

Especially in the north, there were several oncoming spring breezes, which made Ma Shiying more and more proud.

Originally, Ma Shiying was always worried that the Northern Expedition launched by Shi Kefa and Gao Jie would be completely out of control, and if the Northern Expedition was defeated, the imperial court would face a shocking crisis, but if the Northern Expedition succeeded, then Shi Kefa would inevitably return to the Southern Capital with the merits of the Northern Expedition, which was a real crisis for Ma Shiying.

And now it is a perfect ending, the court has nothing to do with an unruly warlord like Gao Jie, but Gao Jie killed himself in Suizhou, and the Northern Expedition promoted by Shi Kefa was naturally fruitless, but it was a godsend for the imperial court.

And Ruan Dacheng, who is at the bottom, can also understand Ma Shiying's thoughts: "Xiangguo, although Xingping Bo has been martyred, but the rest of Xingping can be used by the imperial court, this fortunate thing is also, I hope Xiangguo will not be too sad!" ”

Ma Shiying didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to see through his wishful thinking: "This matter is a bit difficult to do, Shi Daoling has already gone to Xuzhou to deal with it in person, and Liu Yongxi is ready to marry Xing's family. ”

Ruan Dacheng knew Ma Shiying's true wishful thinking: "There are 50,000 people in Xingpingbo's department, and the imperial court will definitely not be allowed to lose the Great Wall, if it falls into the hands of outsiders, I am afraid it will be unimaginable, so I should send a member of the military department to lead it personally!" ”

Although Ma Shiying felt that Ruan Dacheng said it well, she still pretended to hesitate: "But Shi Daoling has already kissed Xuzhou, is it a little inappropriate to send someone over at this time?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said unceremoniously: "We sent someone to assist the Shi Pavilion Department in dealing with the aftermath this time, someone said before that Li Benshen would lead the whole army, who does this mean?" The imperial court didn't let Li Benshen lead the whole army, and this army should be handed over to the prince of Xingping! ”

Ma Shiying nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, yes, yes, Xingping Bo was martyred in Suizhou, and this army should be handed over to his descendants!" ”

It's just that he and Ruan Dacheng both avoided talking about the fact that Gao Yuanjue was only seven years old, after all, it is impossible for this army to be handed over to a hairy child like Gao Yuanjue, but the imperial court should send a powerful Wenchen to take this opportunity to take back the military power.

Ruan Dacheng asked again: "Xiangguo, how do you think the aftermath of the matter between the sincere Bo Shizi and the Xing family should be dealt with?" ”

Everyone knows that Gao Jie's widow Xing is over thirty, but Liu Yongxi, the son of the sincere uncle, is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

But in the eyes of a big man like Ma Shiying, there is a completely different meaning, if Xing and Liu Yongxi are together, then Empress Zhang's camp in Zhejiang will take the initiative militarily, so Ma Shiying will not allow such a situation to appear: "It's just nonsense, tell Liu Yongxi, he hurried back to Linhuai Pass, I will not hold him responsible for evacuating the defensive area, otherwise the imperial court military law will be engaged!" ”

Ruan Dacheng lowered his voice and asked, "What should I do with sincerity?" ”

The sincerity in his mouth is naturally not Liu Yongxi, but Liu Kongzhao, who is the commander of the river and the water master.

Although this sincerity uncle is still a loyal and credible decision-making hero, and Emperor Hongguang has tacitly approved the promotion of him to the sincerity marquis, but with such a precious son as Liu Yongxi, whether it is Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng or others, they are full of suspicion against him.

Thinking of Liu Kongzhao controlling the river master, Ma Shiying felt uncomfortable and even felt that the north wind suddenly became cold, he thought for a while before saying: "Jiang defense is urgent, let Liu Kongzhao move the town to the peace to deal with it!" ”

As long as Liu Kongzhao is transferred out of Nanjing City, everything should be fine!

Ma Shiying felt that the weather was getting warmer again.

But for the old Gaojie department in Xuzhou, the north wind is cold, but the cold wave blowing from the south is enough to kill.

Before, everyone just reluctantly accepted the reality that "Li Benshen temporarily led the whole army", and after Li Benshen rushed back to Xuzhou, the situation in Xuzhou became tense, and many generals, including Li Benshen, felt that Mrs. Xing did not distinguish between public and private, and classified the food, military resources, ordnance, muskets and artillery belonging to the public middle school as Gao Jie's private property, and even took away most of the Chinese army, so she asked Mrs. Xing to keep part of the public middle school.

Although Shi Kefa tried every possible way to coordinate the relationship between all parties, the alliance between Mrs. Xing and Liu Yongxi still encountered hostility from all sides, and everyone hated Liu Yongxi to the core.

Strictly speaking, the imperial court almost met everyone's hopes, first named Gao Yuanjue as the "Prince of Xingping", and then ordered Mrs. Xing to lead the whole army, and Li Benshen and the following have their own rewards, but the real magic operation lies in the supervision of the army Wei Yinwen as the left attendant of the military department, and the old department of Xingping.
