The Son of Heaven and the ministers returned to the Zhaohua Palace. Huan Sheng's heart was a little hesitant, although it was a great fortune for the country to add a new member of the court who could enter the prime minister, and he also said in the school that he would reward Su Ang, but after all, this person was involved with the nobles of the family, and if he wanted to do something to them in the future, I am afraid it would become a big obstacle. This made Huan Sheng hesitate a little.

Huan Sheng sat on the dragon chair and didn't speak, and Su Ang was not in a hurry, so he waited quietly. After a long time, Huan Sheng said: "There are many tiger generals in the DPRK and China, but now there is a lack of good generals who can lead troops, I don't know how to learn the art of war?" ”

Su Ang replied: "The grass people have studied the "Art of War", "The Art of War" and the fragments of "The Art of War", although I dare not say that I am very proficient in marching and fighting, but I think it is not bad. ”

"Oh, so you must have a little opinion about the march. Okay, I'm here to ask you, what do you need to consider first of all when fighting a war? ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people think that when they march to fight, they must first pay attention to the supply of grain and grass. Then you should consider how to put yourself in an invincible position first, so that you can try to defeat the enemy. When the two armies clash, when thinking about how to reduce the damage of the army, it is best to attack the heart. This is the humble opinion of the grass people. ”

Huan Sheng nodded yes, "Not bad." There is no vacancy for you to fill in for the time being, so let's go back and wait first. ”

Su Ang frowned, then figured it out again, and was just about to retreat, Yan Yifan walked out, "Your Majesty, since Pu Xianyu left, isn't there a shortage of people in the court to defend the imperial city?" ”

Huan Sheng patted his forehead, "Yes, yes, you see that I have been so busy recently that I have forgotten it, but Su Ang, I can't let you be a guard captain for the time being, and you know the reason for it, so let's do it, I first named you a five-rank Zhonglang general, with a salary of eighty stones, mainly responsible for the safety of the imperial city." In the future, when you have meritorious deeds, will I give you a promotion? ”

Su Ang knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The grass people thank the emperor Longen, and the grass people will definitely do their best to defend the imperial city." ”

"Well, get up. What else do you want to play? Seeing that no one answered, Huan Sheng said, "Then let's retreat." ”

Huang Gongfu walked in front, Su Ang followed behind, and just came down from the steps, Yan Yifan chased after him, hugged his fist at Huang Gongfu, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, I have this good son-in-law." Su Ang returned the salute.

The two walked in front and exchanged pleasantries, talking about some short things in the family, and even talking about the very boring things of whose daughter is in the boudoir. Su Ang secretly pouted, the two senior officials of the DPRK and China did not discuss the major affairs of the country, and they actually talked about these casually.

Out of the palace gate, Yan Yifan left. A shout came from behind him: "General Su, please stay!" ”

Su Ang turned around, it turned out to be a lieutenant beside the emperor, and the man came over panting, "This is the general's court uniform." As he spoke, he handed over a set of black military uniforms in his hand.

Su Ang took it with both hands, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The lieutenant hurried back again.

"Congratulations, General Su, as soon as he arrived at the court, he was already a Zhonglang general, and his annual salary was eighty stones. I think when I first joined the company, I was just a petty official of the ninth grade, and I was only ten stones. It's really incomparable. Huang Gongfu said with some yin and yang weirdness.

Su Ang replied: "This is all the good of Lord Yue's father-in-law, which is the ability of the son-in-law." ”

Huang Gongfu put away the smile on his face, leaned over to Su Ang's side, and whispered: "It's good to know, although you have become an official of the court now, as long as I find out that you have any disadvantages to my family, the end will definitely not be very good." You have also seen the emperor's attitude today, he doesn't want you to enter the court as an official, if you have any accidents, the emperor will not be as attentive as he is to Princess Zihua. ”

Su Ang took a step back, bowed down and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yue, I only want glory and wealth, and I have a white head with my wife, and I don't have much ambition." ”

"That's good." Huang Gongfu boarded the car, the driver waved his whip, and the car walked into the distance. Suang took the reins from the guards on one side, stepped on his horse, and followed.

When Su Ang returned to the Huang Mansion, he went directly back to his and his wife Huang Yuyan's house. Huang Yuyan had already prepared her meal early, and when she saw Su Ang enter the house, she got up to help him put his coat aside. The two sat next to the desk, Huang Yuyan was busy serving food, Su Ang kept staring, and suddenly reached out to help her put a strand of hair hanging down behind her ear.

"Husband, give." Huang Yuyan put a bowl of broth in front of Su Ang.

Su Ang lifted the chopsticks, "You leave these things to the next person to do, look, your hands are red." Su Ang gently took Madame's hand with his left hand, put it in his palm and blew.

Huang Yuyan's face flushed, and she gently withdrew it, "I have nothing to do in the house, so I can only do this for my husband, if it is a woman from another family, I will probably do some female work, which is like me, I can't do anything." ”

Su Ang scratched her Qiong nose and laughed: "I'm talking nonsense again, it's already great for you to do this, and you don't need to do anything else for your husband." ”

After eating, the two sat in each other's arms for a while, and then got up and went to the courtyard. The spring winds are a bit biting. Su Ang half-hugged his wife and walked to the pavilion and sat down. The surrounding flowers and trees have begun to sprout, and the new buds are shining green.

"In my spare time, I'll play a tune for my husband." Huang Yuyan's white fingers brushed the strings, and the gentle music flowed out, at first like a trickle in the mountains, which made people feel like drinking fine wine, refreshing people's hearts, and then the sound of the piano suddenly turned, and the trickle turned into a surging river, rushing forward, and finally turning into winter snowmelt, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The sound of the piano stopped, and Su Ang was still intoxicated. "Can you recognize this song?" Huang Yuyan's voice pulled Su Ang back.

"Could it be Yang Lu's "Peach Blossom Drunk" song?" Su Ang only felt a little familiar, he seemed to have heard the teacher and senior brother play before, but at that time he was full of sadness and indignation, but now he is calm, his heart is different, and the music he hears is naturally a little different.

"It's "Peach Blossom Drunk", I've always liked this song."

"I see, it's just that I heard folk rumors, isn't this score buried in the mausoleum of my grandfather? How is it that there are so many circulars in the world? Su Ang asked puzzled.

Huang Yuyan smiled after hearing this, "Grandpa Rongma has been riding all his life, how could he like this kind of music, it's just a folk rumor, and it can't be true." It's just that the original score has been lost, and today's "Peach Blossom Drunk" song is no longer the original, and many musicians have changed it according to the fragments. ”

Su Ang suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that there was a little difference with the teacher and senior brother's playing, it turned out that the ones that were circulated in various places were different.

"Spring is the beginning of the year, coinciding with such a beautiful day, Mrs. plays the piano, and I should dance the sword to help Yaxing." Su Ang picked up the wine bottle, drank a full bottle, drew his sword, and walked to the open space in the pavilion.

Huang Yuyan moved softly, and the melodious sound of the piano slowly flew up again, and Su Ang danced his sword to the sound of the piano.

Before the music stopped, a servant hurried over. Huang Yuyan hurriedly stopped the jade hand that was flicking the strings. I only heard the servant say: "Master Su, the master asked me to inform you that something big has happened outside, so let you hurry up and take a look." ”

Su Ang waved his hand to let the servant retreat. Huang Yuyan took out a Jinpa and wiped the sweat on Su Ang's forehead, "Husband, be careful. ”

"Don't worry, I will. Wait for me to come back. Su Ang took more than a dozen forbidden army guards and strode out of the mansion.

At this time, many onlookers gathered less than five miles from the Yellow Mansion. When Su Ang saw it from a distance, he turned to the guards behind him and said, "You go and let those onlookers leave first." ”

"Yes!" The halberd-wielding soldier walked to the scene of the incident, waved the halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly: "General Su has arrived, wait until you leave quickly, otherwise you will be arrested and sent to prison on charges of causing trouble!" ”

The people heard that in the early dynasty, the emperor Feng Su Ang was a Zhonglang general, in charge of the security of the imperial city, and they couldn't help but have a lot of curiosity in their hearts, everyone wanted to see who this general Su Angsu who had never heard of him, why he became a five-grade official just after entering the court, is it just because he is the son-in-law of the Huang Mansion?

Su Ang saw that there were fewer people around, so he walked over, and saw a little girl in a linen robe curled up in the street, hugging her calves tightly, her face full of pain. Kneeling next to him sat an old woman in her fifties, the old woman pulled a well-dressed young man, behind the young man was parked a carriage, and around him stood more than a dozen strong men dressed as servants, who were obviously the young man's attendants.

The young man kicked the old woman fiercely, and scolded loudly: "You Diao Min, you don't know whether you live or die, if you don't let go, be careful, I'll even discount your legs!" ”

The old woman's forehead was covered with sweat, tears flowed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you are a member of the court, can you take people's lives!" Poor my little granddaughter, her leg is broken! The old woman cried loudly, "Come and see, everyone, they are committing murder in the streets!" ”

Su Ang only felt that his head was big, and he already knew everything without asking anything, just looking at the young man, it must be the son of whose family, and how much trouble he would bring to himself if he got into trouble, but if he didn't ask, he was the person who had just been sealed by the emperor to guard the imperial city, would the emperor take the opportunity to deal with himself, depending on his attitude in the court, there was a chance that he would do this.

Su Ang walked along the passage blocked by the black-armored soldiers on both sides. When the onlookers saw someone coming, they discussed: "Is this Su Ang?" How can you be so young? ”

"What do you think he's going to do with this?"

Someone shook his head: "Since he is from the Yellow Mansion and a person from the court, he will naturally favor the young man in brocade." Besides, he only sat in this official position today, can he still offend the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee because of a small common man? ”

When the young man saw Su Ang approaching, he looked Su Ang up and down, and saw that he was dressed in plain clothes, with only a sword at his waist, and no sachet or jade pendant, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, but he saw that the guards on both sides had no intention of blocking him, and roughly guessed that this was Su Ang.

The young man arched his hand and said: "This is General Su of the Huang Mansion, I am Yan Shang of the Yan Mansion, my father Yan Yifan, and I have a very good relationship with Lord Huang." ”

Su Ang sneered in his heart after hearing this, this person deliberately talked about Huang Gongfu, and brought out his father Yan Yifan, and the meaning of the demonstration was overflowing.

The young man looked at Su Ang's expressionless face, and said: "This Diao people blocked my carriage, and the coachman couldn't stop the horse for a while, so he accidentally ran over someone. The young man squeezed his eyes at the attendant as he spoke, and the attendant came up and took out a silver ingot weighing five taels from his bosom and stuffed it into Su Ang's hand.

Su Ang dodged, looked at Yan Shang, and smiled: "Young Master Yan, since I was ordered by the emperor to defend the imperial city, I naturally have to deal with it impartially." In this case, you will go with me to the prison of the Prison Department, and if you are not guilty, you will be let go in peace. ”

Yan Shang was about to say something after hearing this, Su Ang waved his hand, and the guard walked over, took Yan Shang's arm and went to the Punishment Division.

Su Ang looked at the old woman, took the silver from Yan Shang's attendant's hand, and stuffed it into the old woman's hand: "Quickly bring it to the doctor and have a look." ”

Su Ang got up and left slowly, completely ignoring the comments of the people on the street.
