In the blink of an eye, the deep winter has passed, the snow left by the deep winter in the courtyard has subsided, and the pocket that grows in the corner of the wall can come out of the small bones that can come out in twos and threes. But for some reason, it was already the end of March, but suddenly it snowed like goose feathers.

The branches and leaves of the spring flowers were reluctantly shaken, and the snow fell from the trees very reluctantly, carving them into the ground bit by bit to lay a crying face.

Since the Six Towns Uprising, there had never been such a quiet snow scene, so that time, Er Zhuyan stayed outside for a longer time.

"Miss, it's cool outside, why are you still there!" Pu Juan looked at her eagerly, and quickly put on her cloak. I didn't say much, and in this heavily locked general's mansion, there was not much need for words.

"You are really, it is snowing so heavily outside, and you don't know how to go into the house to hide, you are so thinly dressed, and how to send the third lady out of the pavilion when you are frozen"

"Is the wedding so soon booked?" Er Zhuyan asked

"This slave maid didn't know that Yu Changshi's dowry had already been accepted, and I heard Taisu say that there is a big sun star in this issue, and he will also marry. The eldest lady and the second aunt were discussing, "Seeing that Zhu Yan didn't say much today, Pu Juan also called her "Miss, Miss" questioningly.

"Oh" Er Zhuyan replied to her promptly, as for the rest, she just didn't want to answer more.

Pu Juan helped her, implying that she would return to the boudoir as soon as possible, after all, the weather outside was still cold, so it was really not appropriate to stay longer. Suddenly, a rare figure scurried through the hallway.

"Miss, Miss" Seeing this, she pulled her hesitantly. Er Zhuyan didn't speak, kept staring in the direction of the corridor, "Miss, let's go back!" ”

"Shhh

I saw that both of them were wearing black hats, covering them from head to toe, and their walking posture was obviously a martial arts practice, because there was a long scratch next to the cloak, which was obviously a sign of the sword at the waist.

I saw that this person seemed to have found it, paused slightly, and disappeared for a moment, Er Zhuyan turned around in a circle and touched her ears and wondered, Pu Juan was obviously a little angry and dragged Er Zhuyan to tell her not to mess around

"Miss, I didn't say you, please don't play this game of hide and seek with me, okay? Didn't Madame say that during the third lady's marriage, you are forbidden to go out"

Er Zhuyan has been thinking about where the two of them have gone, and she has not heard the maid's words in her heart, she has been questioning in her heart, "Strange, why did you disappear with here, is it difficult to fly with you?"

The man in black jumped a few steps and jumped directly to the other side of the wall, through the window in the middle of the wall, he could only vaguely see what Er Zhuyan and the maid were chattering, and the man in black glanced cautiously and jumped away along the corridor.

"In the past two days, the palace has been busy with the marriage of the third lady, and the son of the princely family has almost broken the threshold in the general's mansion in the past two days. Madame ordered all the ladies to stay in the room recently, you are good, and you ran out blatantly" Her face was like a dark cloud, looking at the posture, she had to force Er Zhuyan back to the room.

"Oops! You're trying to strangle me! Er Zhuyan felt the pain and turned back to her.

In fact, in her heart, she is still very envious of the third sister and can marry the person she likes. In the past, I only listened to it in the drama, after all, there were too few stories of Zhuo Wenjun. I heard from the mother-in-law in the courtyard that the third lady of Erzhu Mansion and the young general met by chance on the street. It's just that glance, which is enough for both parties to ask their names and fall in love at first sight.

I also heard rumors that the general hired a jade pendant and sent it to the third sister as a matchmaker. Come to think of it, it's just a rumor about the mother-in-law in the house. But if this is true, there will be discussion in the house. What an impolite thing this is, this matter is not big, it is not small, if some people with bad intentions listen to it, they will always laugh at the general's mansion and educate no one

Although this Er Zhurong is a member of the Qihu clan, he naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing, but Ah Niang cares, Yeyana is not only the wife of the chief of the family, but also the princess of the Northern Wei royal family.

Thinking about it carefully, Er Zhuyan always has a fantastical idea, she feels that this world is extremely unfair to men and women, men can have three wives and four concubines, why do women have to revolve around this one man from the beginning. For men, women are just victories after victories, and women can only stay in this small cage for the rest of their lives.

For this reason, the second aunt has been proud for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that Yeyena, the head of the house, ordered it to be forbidden, maybe the aunt would still be showing off, because the head of the house has already banned it, and the maids and daughters in the courtyard don't dare to talk about this matter more, even if it is Er Zhurong, he will not intercede with this princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty because of the affairs in the house.

To be honest, Er Zhuyan has never seen her father and mother quarrel. In order to make the second aunt's face better, she compensated for the third sister's gift.

"Ajuan, you say, now, like this caged bird, for the sake of secular eyes, I have packaged myself in a beautiful package, but I have never been able to escape the birdcage of Erzhu Mansion" Er Zhuyan played with the flowers in the courtyard with some frustration, I don't know when it started, she was originally alive and jumping, but she didn't know when she began to sigh. I think it's the third sister

"Madam, eldest lady," whispered a plainly dressed middle-aged servant in the ear of the head of the Erzhu family, Yeye Na was only in her early thirties, her skin was fair as water, her clothes were flashy, and she was very rich and noble.

"Feng Fei Wutong doesn't live, it's really ridiculous, let's retreat" said, Ye Ye sent people back without looking at the slightest prayer.

"Ah Cai, how long have you been following me" Yeyana glanced at the maid beside him.

"The old slave has been following the princess since she was ten years old, but I didn't expect it to be twenty years."

"Yes! Look at Yan'er and Pu Juan's children, they don't look like us who were still in the palace at the beginning."

"The eldest lady is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and has a bodhisattva heart. Being able to serve Miss is also a blessing for Juan'er's child."

"You! It's not that I'm talking about you, it's better not to be too strict with Juan'er's child" Ah Cai helped Ye Ye Na to get up, Ye Ye said, while grabbing Ah Cai's hand, she always felt that as the head of the house, there were many things thanks to Ah Cai's help all the way.

In the dimly lit small house, there were a lot of books in it, and in the room, there were about six or seven people standing, two of whom were the ones Er Zhuyan said they had seen just now, and Er Zhurong was standing next to the desk writing undisturbed.

Erzhurong's study is generally not allowed to enter anyone, and the layout of the room is also extremely gray, which is generally used to explore the military, and some are to prevent eavesdropping. It is said that there are still dead soldiers stationed in that study, and the affairs in it are not well known, after all, in the Erzhu family, it is a forbidden place for the family.

"General, the emperor's secret letter, please take a look at it in person" In the study, Er Zhurong was writing calligraphy leisurely, and he didn't look at the visitor very expectantly for the intention of the visitor.

"Shilong, take it!" As he spoke, Er Zhurong gestured to his brother with an actionable look. And he himself still focuses on painting. To be honest, it has not been a day or two that the emperor wants to entrap him, and the reason why he is unwilling is just looking for a suitable opportunity.

The last time is still vivid, Er Zhurong also clearly knows that this emperor is constrained everywhere, and the military and political power is still in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Erzhu Shilong took the letter and placed it on Erzhurong's desk, and then stood quietly beside the desk as before.

The faint sunlight shone through the window paper on the calm desktop, and I saw that Er Zhurong had a male wind, and his face was calmly writing calligraphy. His back was straight

"General, this is what the emperor personally asked the minister to hand over to the general, and His Majesty personally instructed that the general must be personally seen" The envoy bowed very respectfully and presented the so-called emperor's secret letter. Because the light in the room was relatively dim, there was almost a glimmer of light next to Er Zhurong's desk, so everyone could see his form at any time. Seeing that Er Zhurong didn't have much interest, the rest of the people stood a little sweaty, not daring to move a little.

Er Zhurong looked at it, then turned his head to Er Zhu Shilong and said, "Zhongyuan, you take the envoy down first" Seeing that his reaction was not great, the envoy still said unrelentingly, "General, this matter is very important, please also ask the general to help Your Majesty recapture the country."

"This matter is big, let me discuss it later, so you might as well go down and rest first" Er Zhurong finished speaking, and continued to bury his head in calligraphy and painting

The envoy of the "general" still wanted to try to say what to write, but at this time, Er Zhu Shilong gave He Batyue a look knowingly, and He Batyue said, "The envoy has come all the way to the palace, you might as well make the annex for a short rest, and after the general of my family and the old man of the family discuss, after replying to make the king fail" After speaking, He Batyue persuaded the comer to retreat after dividing it by two.

After a long time, Er Zhurong stopped his pen and looked at the surrounding clan generals for a week, and then stared at the letter on the table with deep eyes, the facts in it were probably succumbed to the paper, according to the current situation, he could clearly judge what the meaning of the letter sent by the emperor was specially sent.

"Tell us all! Look at what was written in this little doll's letter to Gu, "Er Zhurong glanced meaningfully at the people around him.

Er Zhu Shilong said, "This is not clear, Emperor Ming is young, and the power in the court is held by his mother, the Empress Dowager Hu, and now, the emperor has grown up, and his son is not a mother, so he naturally does not want to be led by the nose." Since the last Gongshu incident, the emperor has already had ambitions, the queen mother has been in charge of the government for many years, and there are many henchmen, if it means that the emperor wants to maintain the world of this Yuan family, then there is only one way to go"

Erzhu Shilong has been in the imperial court all these years, and he naturally knows the pattern of the imperial court well, and Erzhu Rong smiled lightly and handed the letter of the emperor's personal envoy to Erzhu Shilong for him to read it personally.

"Brother, this" Erzhu Shilong, who was on the side, wanted to say something with some anxiety, but was stopped by Erzhurong. Er Zhurong also looked at the cronies around him for a week, and didn't say much, but at this time, everyone already had a certificate in their hearts.

This emperor has no real power, no troops, if he wants to stay on the throne, there will inevitably be a vicious fight between mother and son, which is already known to the world. What's more, this Empress Dowager Hu has an unscrupulous nature and has raised a lot of faces in the palace, and such an inner court government has long been contrary to the previous Zhenglang and Qingming.

At this moment, Er Zhurong has full of ambition, the hot-blooded sword holds the power of a heavy army, in order to stay in the stormy Northern Wei Dynasty, Er Zhurong used the six towns to make a name for himself, in line with the idea of six towns for the people, for the imperial court to suppress the peasant uprising in the six towns, thus becoming the biggest winner in the six towns uprising.

With the (Huaihuang, Rouxuan, Fuming, Wuchuan, Huaishuo, Woye) towns and towns, the riots were suppressed for a short time, I thought that the world would return to normal, but I didn't know that the beginning and end of the war always ran through the interests, once the bow was opened, there was no turning back.

The army of Po Liuhan was fed by Er Zhurong, and Xian Yu Xiuli, who had originally taken refuge in Po Liuhan, regained his own mountain. The uprisings in various places skyrocketed, and the forces in Hebei were divided by Du Luozhou and Ge Rong, and the uprising forces sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

As the situation became more and more distinct, Emperor Xiaoming's ambition to take power gradually became stronger, and he longed for the support of one side to help him fight against the power of the empress dowager. Therefore, Erzhurong of the Qihu tribe is his most reliable backer. Although the matter of overstepping his authority is very important, but in the face of the precarious Jiangshang, the emperor has to try it with his bare hands.

Although no one knew what exactly they were talking about in the room at the time, it was not long before the incident was answered.

The light in Erzhurong's secret room is very dim, so sometimes the generals including him can hardly see any expressions, but fortunately, they are all his own people, and some of them are his henchmen. When the messenger from the palace came, I knew that the little pavilion had become mysterious in the light of the lights.

"Let's all go down!" Under Er Zhurong's order, the generals hidden in the dark corners of the room sharply turned around and left, and suddenly the room was much empty.

After everyone left, out of the dark compartment behind Er Zhurong came a white-faced prime man who was about thirty or five, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes dressed plainly, and at a glance he knew that he was an unruly general's beard sticking to his face like wild grass, unlike his uncle and brother who focused on external cultivation like the jade-faced Xiaosheng.

"Ah Dou Ni (He Ba Yue, the word A Dou Ni) What do you think about this matter" Er Zhurong asked the man who had been standing in the dark corner very humbly.

"Don't you despise talent, dare to ask what the general thinks" The man lowered his head and raised his hands respectfully to ask Er Zhurong for his answer.

Time is like silence in the dust, although there is no one everywhere at the moment, but we have to be careful, after all, raising troops is a big deal, no matter what the reason, a mistake will become a thousand years of hatred, and the loss will be the entire Erzhu family and all the staff who follow Erzhurong.

Although Er Zhurong has a heavy army in the world, he has to think it through. He Bayue still stood respectfully in place and listened to Er Zhurong's instructions, only to see Er Zhurong turn around very deeply, and patted Ah Dou Ni's hand with a heavy heart, signaling that he didn't have to be so stubborn.

I saw Er Zhurong thinking very seriously, and then he held his head high and said frankly, "Since the uprising in the six towns, I have always been in the spirit of reporting to the country, although I have no ambition to fly Li Guangzhi, but to benefit the Quartet, such as today's chaos, the inner court is turbid and the outer court is chaotic, I want to lead the army into Beijing, the Qing Dynasty is a traitor, and the local rebellion is peaceful." For He Bayue, Er Zhurong still attaches great importance to his person.

I saw He Bayue immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Gu Zhiyun's plan is not in time, his words are not handsome, and he must be decisive in doing things", and only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things, if the general can take the lead in holding high the banner of righteousness, the outside is rebellious, and the monarch is framed, he will be able to succeed, which is the wish of the people of the world. After speaking, he knelt down to Er Zhurong and bowed to the ground. Seeing this, Er Zhu Zhao also knelt down.

"Uncle, what Adou Ni said is true. Don't miss this opportunity! We have made great contributions to the imperial court, but as a result, the queen mother has not attributed the credit to the Yuan clan, since this world is laid down by my Erzhu family, and I live in a marquis, why not stand in the temple" After Erzhu Zhao finished speaking, Erzhurong did not react much, he was still slightly cautious and silent.

"Rong Gu think about it," Er Zhurong waved his hand and motioned for them to step back. The light of the attic hit Er Zhurong's face through the window, and although Er Zhurong did not clearly show it at the moment, he struggled in his heart for a long time. Er Zhurong recalled the secret letter that Er Zhu Shilong sent in the palace a few days ago, and it can be seen that the content of the letter is meaningless to the present.

Seeing this, He Bayue immediately knelt on the ground and said to Er Zhurong: "I don't despise talent, I am willing to follow General Yu" After kneeling down, I saw Ah Dou Ni facing Er Zhurong with both hands clenched into fists.

"This is the ambition of the husband," he said, and Erzhurong helped He Batyue up with his very happy hands.

Speaking of this Adou Ni (He Bayue), this person can be described as a hero, he was a student when he was young, and he had great ambitions, but the government was mediocre, he was full of fighting spirit but there was nowhere to go.

"Stand still, turn around slowly" Outside the door, Er Zhuyan put a sword on the messenger's shoulder, and the messenger seemed to be in a trance for a while, and slowly turned around to look at her, "Who are you?"

The messenger looked at her quietly, Er Zhuyan stood in front of him in a pink dress, only to feel that this woman's light eyebrows were like autumn water, jade skin with a light breeze, eyes like an ocean, and a face like a bright moon.

The messenger slowly took off his mask, looked at Er Zhuyan and said infatuately: "The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns, but when she sees the tears wet, I don't know who I hate."

When Er Zhuyan heard this, her cheeks suddenly blushed and she raised her sword to slash angrily, and her blushing cheeks were blown and broken, "Barbarian master, teach you nonsense"

For a long time, although Er Zhuyan likes to dance with swords, there is no one in the house who teaches deeply, just holding a sword and slashing and playing. The man in front of her was so manic that she was annoyed

"Miss, don't worry, I'm Changle Wang Yuanziyou, I didn't mean to offend Miss, I just ......"

Thinking that he was deceived by such a disciple, Er Zhuyan said that he didn't want to listen to what he said and swung his sword away, and Yuan Ziyou didn't want to hurt Er Zhuyan, so he could only dodge step by step. The two chased after each other from the corridor until they reached the forbidden place of the Erzhu family.

"Miss, don't" Suddenly, He Bayue flew and rushed into the battle between Er Zhuyan and the envoy.

"Miss" said, He Bayue reported ten with both hands, closed his eyes and twisted his head to Er Zhuyan, according to the rules of the house, the foreign minister could not see the young lady's face.

"Hmph" said Er Zhuyan angrily dropped her sword and walked away.

"This, Miss Erzhu, is really not ordinary like an ordinary boudoir woman" Yuan Ziyou smiled with a chill on his back, touched the neck that was almost cut by Er Zhuyan, and thoughtfully pestled in place. He Batyue, who was standing on the side, served cautiously. Seeing that Yuan Ziyou was a little thoughtful, He Bayue said: "The eldest lady is straightforward by nature, and she has no intention of offending King Changle, and I ask King Changle to forgive her sins."

"No hindrance" he said, and Yuan Ziyu walked out of the living room accompanied by He Bayue. As soon as he took a few steps out of the door, Yuan Ziyou said on a whim, "It seems that this king has not seen the eldest princess for a long time, and I hope that Mr. will lead the way for this king", Yuan Ziyou looked at He Bayue with a leisurely face.

"This," He Batyue had an unspeakable look on his face. As we all know, the Erzhu Mansion is very tight, and there is a clear boundary between the foreign ministers and the inner servants. Coincidentally, the maid was walking around the courtyard, and He Bayue said goodbye to Yuan Ziyou very respectfully. Under the leadership of the maid, Yuan Ziyou met his cousin Yeyana, who had been absent for a long time, and had a long talk.

In the evening, Yeena walked with Ah Cai in the garden, and Ah Cai felt very relieved to see that the housewife was rarely happy.

"Madame looks very happy," said Acai

"Really?" Ye Ye showed a rare look of joy, and Ah Cai stood aside and slowly fanned the warm breeze for her with a fan

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen Madame, you have laughed, it seems that this King Changle has more ways to make Madame happy than a slave."

"Yanda, this kid, I really like it" After that, Yeyana looked at Ah Cai, and seemed to ask Ah Cai intentionally, "What do you think of Yanda's child and Yan'er?"

"Madame means..." Seeing Yeyana's expression, Acai obviously understood her thoughts. Seeing that Ye Yana did not object, Ah Cai said slowly, "King Changle is filial piety, and his net worth is similar to that of Miss, Mrs. is really wise, I don't know if Miss is willing."

Speaking of this, Yeyana also began to think sadly, "Don't worry, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Yan'er is a good child who is filial, and she will agree"

Soon, Er Zhurong agreed to Emperor Ming's request to raise troops, and the army was personally led south to Luoyang by Er Zhurong seven days later.
