The Cheng family, the elders gathered together.

Although there were different minds in the room, there were letters from the old lady, and according to the rules, it took two full hours to complete the separation.

Cheng Hao and his wife glanced at each other, stepped forward and looked at the elders, and gave a salute, "In the capital, there are powerful people everywhere, I am just a businessman, staying in the capital, everything is not going well, so I decided to go back to my hometown, I am willing to take the initiative to ask for my life, and take my mother back!" ”

The family is divided, and naturally no one cares about such a trivial matter.

The affairs of the Cheng family came to an end, and Cheng Yuru came to the Lian family with gifts.

Lian Xu was very excited to see his granddaughter, but when he saw that tired face, his face sank.

"Grandfather."

"Hey!"

The two of them came to the study one after the other.

Cheng Yuru went straight to the point and explained her intentions.

"Grandfather, I know that you have been loyal and patriotic for many years. As a courtier, you are a loyal minister, worthy of the world and worthy of the earth. All his life for the people of Dawn. ”

"Now the waves in the court are surging, the frontier has been ignited with war, you want to be alone, take the people of the world as your own responsibility, if you meet a wise monarch, your granddaughter will naturally not say much, but ......"

The more Cheng Yuru spoke, the more outrageous it became, Lian Xu was so frightened that she stood up from the chair and quickly interrupted, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

He patted his granddaughter on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I know what you're thinking, but the walls have ears, and not everything can be spoken. ”

As a veteran of the two dynasties, how can he not see the situation clearly after being an official in the court for many years?

Merely......

Cheng Yuru knew what the old man was worried about, and she said bluntly, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, where is the country ruined, grandfather, if nothing else, I will go to the frontier soon, this time I came for nothing else, just to make you prepared!" ”

"What are you doing as a girl?"

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind, and Lian Xu's eyes widened, "You guys thought that there would be today, didn't you?" ”

Cheng Yuru didn't hide it, and nodded, "If you are not from my race, your heart will be different, and it is inevitable that the two countries will fight, but it will only be a matter of time." Ouyang Ping has hooked up with the three princes, as for the cooperation, no one knows, if we leave, the capital will be chaotic! ”

It was like that in my previous life.

At that time, he was just a woman locked up in the backyard, and he knew very little about the affairs of the court.

However, the frontier began to fight, and the court fought openly and secretly.

The second prince relied on the imperial concubine and the emperor's favor, and the three princes of the queen competed against each other, on par.

The border pass is about to be saved, but the two sides are still arguing over the matter of grain and grass.

In the end, because of the battle in the court, the grain and grass at the border were delayed, resulting in the loss of four or five cities in a row.

Later, if Cheng An hadn't turned the tide and led the soldiers to burn the other party's grain and grass, I am afraid it would have been even worse.

Cheng Yuru thinks that she is not a bodhisattva and is unwilling to save sentient beings, so she wants to make all preparations before leaving.

There was a deathly silence in the study.

After a long time, Lian sighed faintly.

"I'm old, and I don't have the motivation of my youth, and I have forgotten the truth that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, okay, it's time for Lianjia to give it a go, don't worry, when you leave, I know what to do!"

"Grandfather, I'm sorry! But I can't help it. Just in case, let's send all the children in the house away! ”

The two talked for a long time in the study, and when they left, Cheng Yuru lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look at this Lianfu that had gone through two dynasties and two generations.

……

Borderland.

Although it was summer, it was still snowy.

The wind was bitterly cold, and the warriors stood in the thick snow with cold faces.

"Haven't you received any news from the capital? If there is no one to help, I am afraid that we people will not last long! ”

The frontier has been lost.

The Keeper is dead.

Now it is the lieutenant general who leads the troops.

He heard the words of the warriors under his hand, his eyes were deep, and he jumped into the distance.

"Yes! It won't last long! ”

Now I have been looking forward to getting the news from the capital as soon as possible and sending new generals.

"Boss, brothers, to put it mildly, if we people stay here, we will die, it is better to ......"

"What nonsense are bastards, is it possible that you want to escape, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, do you want all the people in our family to become slaves of the country?"

"Of course not, but ......"

"Why not, I'm sure someone will come!"

After the lieutenant reassured everyone, he went to a no-man's corner.

He bit his fingers with his teeth, quickly wrote a few words on a piece of donor cloth, and then whistled, and a carrier pigeon fell, "Remember to be quick!" ”

Master!

I can't hold out for a few days.

You must come over quickly, or I will not have a chance to see you again in my life.

The Imperial Palace!

The news of the frontier had already arrived, and the emperor was furious, eager to smash the entire study to pieces.

When the eldest prince entered, he saw a messy study, and he lowered his eyelids to hide his complicated emotions in his eyes.

"See Father!"

"Get up!"

Although the emperor's voice seemed to be the same as usual, it showed a little fatigue.

The eldest prince pretended not to know and said, "I don't know what is important for my father to call his sons!" ”

"Does father and son have to have something to meet? Speaking of which, the two of us haven't been together for a long time, so let's have a good chat! ”

Seeing the emperor on top, looking like a loving father, the eldest prince disagreed, but he still cooperated with the performance, and the father was kind and filial.

The two have different minds, but their acting skills are excellent.

For a whole hour, we talked very happily.

After the emperor drank a few cups of tea, he asked seemingly unintentionally, "The war on the frontier is rekindled, who do you think is more suitable to lead the troops?" ”

"Father!" The eldest prince quickly got up from his chair and knelt on the ground, "This is a major matter in the court, and the ministers dare not say anything!" ”

"Don't you dare or don't want to?"

A majestic voice rang out in the empty imperial study.

The last two words are more like a threat.

The eldest prince had a more respectful attitude in his heart, and slammed his head on the ground, "It's that I've been guarding the frontier all these years, and I just returned to the capital, and I don't know much about it, so I don't dare to say anything?" ”

"Are you expelling you from the capital back then?"

"Erchen doesn't dare!"

"Hey!" With a long sigh, when the emperor spoke again, with a deep sense of helplessness, "You had nothing to rely on in this palace back then, if you hadn't been asked to leave, do you think you would have been able to survive?" ”

Can't you?

As a father of a country, how can he not protect a son?

It's just a shameless excuse!

The eyes of the eldest prince, as deep as the sea, were full of hatred.

But when I looked up again, those eyes were like a calm lake, calm and waveless.
