Beisai, Zhuozhou Governor's Mansion, the front and back yards of this mansion, the front and back yards, and the backyards are at home.

Zheng Zheng is four years older than Quan Ce, married the year before last, Mrs. Zhen is the daughter of the local Wang clan in Zhuozhou, solemnly Zhang Luo, from beginning to end did not bother Xingyang Zheng's ancestral house, Zhen's body is delicate, but it is no obstacle in childbirth, last year gave birth to a son, successfully passed the birth, solemn and overjoyed, wrote to Shendu, please Quan Ce named his eldest son, not with Xingyang Zheng pay attention to seniority, the same as himself, a single name can be, in his words, the boy was born in heaven and earth, only by his own ability, not by others.

Quan Ce replied to the letter after several days, and took a Ji character, one is the ancient name of Zhuozhou, which is the place where the child was born, and the other is to indicate the expectation, hoping that he can meet the expectations of the public, take on the responsibility of the eldest son, and set up a household.

On weekdays, he is very busy with military affairs, and he is a calm character, his emotions are never exposed, and he rarely accompanies his wife and son, but today is abnormal, he suddenly wants to paint his wife's eyebrows and lips in the morning, and straighten his hair, although he is still silent, he has an indescribable tenderness, and he went out of the bedroom, and did not go to the front of the government to discuss matters, but held Zheng Ji, who was less than one year old, and teased for a long time, Zheng Ji was young and sleepy, and he fell asleep soundly not long after.

Zheng stood in front of his little bed, staring blankly, not moving a step away for a long time.

"Husband, it's been a long time coming, it's time to go to the front office, don't delay official business" Zhen came over with his official robe, and persuaded him softly.

solemnly looked at her silently for a while, nodded, stretched out his hands, and his wife took off his Yanju civilian clothes, put on a crimson lining, covered with bright light armor, and put on a bright red cloak, and a heroic young general jumped in front of him.

Zhen handed over the hood, and the bright red helmet floating on her head made her dare not look directly, and she forced herself to be calm as usual, but she couldn't help it, and blurted out one more sentence, "Husband, go early and return early"

Holding the slug solemnly, he had already stepped out of the threshold, and when he heard the sound, he paused, and then took a big stride and walked away quickly.

The corner of the cloak disappeared in the shade of the trees on the path, Zhen's body was unstable, leaning on the porch, two lines of tears fell, the two young couples of more than a year, although they were faint to each other, but after all, he was her lifelong dependence, and he acted abnormally today, and she didn't know what terrible things were going to happen, which made her worried and vigilant.

Solemnly came to the main hall, Cen Xi, the head of the Governor's Mansion, sat on the couch in the corner with his eyes closed, his face was haggard and pale, and his complexion was very bad.

"Governor, isn't it, ask Quan Langjun for instructions before making a decision?" When Cen Xi saw him coming, he didn't get up, his face was very struggling.

He smiled solemnly, his expression was desolate and disdainful, "Master Cen, there is no need to say more, I know your details, you were originally a disciple of His Royal Highness Taiping, but he ran for Zhang Changzong, impeached Princess Yiyang's mansion for building more than the system, tried to murder Dalang, and demoted the official to this point. ”

Cen Xi's mouth was bitter, "The lower officials don't know"

solemnly turned his face away, not wanting to look at him anymore, "Da Lang sent a letter, saying that you are loyal and good for three generations of the Cen family, and you should not be harshly criticized for a momentary mistake, so that I can protect you, otherwise, do you think you can be in Zhuozhou, this dangerous place, and jump around for so long?" ”

The solemn voice gradually became cold, Cen Xi's heart jumped when he heard it, his face changed several times, his body was hot, he took off his official hat and rubbed his scalp a few times, "But it is thanks to the blessing of Quan Langjun, the grace of Quan Langjun and the governor, and the subordinate officials have written it down...... It's just that today's matter, the lower officials have the responsibility to advise, but they still insist, the governor should not act rashly, he should think about it properly, and discuss it with Quan Langjun, and there will be a plan for both worlds."

"Hugh Duoyan" said solemnly and coldly, "The matter of the soldiers in the border is in a hurry, and I am in a hurry to discuss with Da Lang, how can I return to the sky?" Or is it what you are happy to see if Da Lang is thousands of miles away and makes a mistake in his busyness, or let Da Lang bear this sin of provoking without permission? ”

This was said to be heart-wrenching, Cen Xi's strength to wave his hand was gone, and he bit his cheeks and said angrily, "Dudu, don't want to be blinded, the Khitan is Li Qianzhong and Sun Wanrong teamed up, and they may not be able to help the Later Turks, just continue to deploy troops on the frontier and exert pressure, making it difficult for the Khitan to do their best, why do you have to get involved in the war group?" How can such a reckless act be regarded as a dry city of the country? ”

Zheng smiled coldly, but there was a bit of madness, "The former homeless and unemployed person of the Governor of Pontus, I don't know how much I have seen with cold eyes, if there is no Dalang, how can I have today, although my two positions are noble and low, in my heart, but I regard it as my own brother, Princess Yunxi and my brother and sister, the Khitan is going to beat my brother and sister's clan, I am not here, if I stand by, how can I be safe?" ”

"What's in this heart?"

solemnly roared vigorously, vibrating the roof tiles, three points were said to Cen Xi, and seven points were said to himself.

Cen Xi's body was even hotter, he raised his long sleeves and waved the fan twice, snorting in his nose, and roared, "Governor, if I report this matter to the court, do you know what the outcome will be?" ”

solemnly but calmly calmed down, straightened his robe, and glanced at him, "If you don't report it, the Khitan will too"

"To put it bluntly, I revealed this matter to you, and I didn't want to keep it secret, to communicate with any big man in the court, or to report to the court, and listen to the king."

He solemnly flicked his sleeves and left, left the governor's mansion, stepped on his horse and galloped away, obviously going to the barracks.

Cen Xi was stunned on the spot, couldn't help but smile bitterly, solemnly and clearly wanted to borrow his own mouth, sit back and watch his own crimes, no matter what the victory or defeat with the Khitan is, the merit is a responsibility, and it does not affect Quan Langjun at all.

Cen Xi walked out of the festival hall slowly, he never knew and never experienced this kind of feeling, he felt ridiculous, and he also felt searing.

On the table of his signing room, there are two letterheads, one from the old proposition Changzong, there are a few words of greetings and comforts in the letter, but more is to show off his favor and future, and finally there is a sentence mentioning, please be a little restless, he will slowly figure it out, and transfer him back to the court, "It's fortunate to be against Lun, but just a few people will get carried away, and it will be difficult to last long" Cen Xi sneered.

The other is from Fangzhou, the tone is the staff of the Luling Palace, sprinkled with dozens of pages, but it is full of nonsense, starting from his grandfather Cen Wenwen, counting the relationship between the Cen family and the imperial Li family, and praising Cen Xi's support and loyalty to Princess Taiping, which makes him irritable to read.

There is only one sentence in the letter with substantive meaning, but the language is vague, "Pay attention to the movement of the northern capital and choose the opportunity to move?" What does this mean? ”

Cen Xi took the pen and paper, the tip of his nose hung on the paper, he couldn't fall for a long time, the ink blurred, and it was black.

"Master, master" his personal chief rushed into the door, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Master, the next room Da Langjun passed the word, Xiangye, Xiangye died"

Cen Xi's arms began to tremble, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes turned red, and he waved his hand to order Chang to follow.

He sat in the detention room until the night fell, and he picked up the pen again, "The criminal minister Cen Xi, weeping and sobbing his head, presented to Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping......"

At the moment when he was careful and difficult to carry the pen, at the gate of Zhuozhou City, there were a few men in shabby linen clothes who drilled the hole in the city gate and went out of the city, and the cat's waist ran for more than half an hour, and when he came out again, he was already dressed in brocade clothes, extremely bright, and rode on the high-headed horse of the divine horse, with his toes high.

Dada's horseshoe, crushing the night sky, first to the north, then to the east.
