In the imperial capital, it is the end of autumn in a blink of an eye, and the night is longer than the night.

In the leaf house, it is the time when the chrysanthemum blooms at its peak, and as far as the eye can see, the golden hook purple Ge is colorful and pleasing to the eye.

Ye Zhiqiu's favorite thing in his life is chrysanthemums, he thinks that this flower is noble and elegant, but it is not as cold and arrogant as plum blossoms. Just like being a human being, we must not only keep ourselves clean, but also not be alone.

Chrysanthemums are just right.

Every time in late autumn, Ye Zhiqiu always wants to boil tea and appreciate chrysanthemums in the house, and then order people to steam a few baskets of fresh crabs, add some fresh chrysanthemum petals to the purple ginger vinegar to accompany the taste, and let the children make poems on the spot.

But this year, it didn't look like that.

The chrysanthemums in the backyard have bloomed all over the garden, and only Ye Zhiqiu is the only one who appreciates the chrysanthemums.

He knew his wife's thoughts, and he was afraid that when he saw the chrysanthemum, he remembered the things that asked Su Xiaochen to compose poems in previous years.

Ye Yin also took a few servants out to hang out, and without her cousin there, she always felt that she had nothing to say to her father. Instead of spending time at home, it's better to find some comfort on your own.

So Ye Zhiqiu sat alone in the courtyard, watching the chrysanthemum petals drifting, and the leaves in his ears fell silently. On the table in front of him, the four-leaf gourd had been cooked, and it was densely revealing a refreshing aroma.

After a while, a figure flashed behind the rockery in the courtyard.

"Lord Ye."

"Lord Han."

Ye Zhiqiu gestured slightly to the chair next to him, and raised the teapot to pour a cup for Han Fu.

Han Fu sat down with a smile, looking in a good mood. He looked around, and couldn't help but praise:

"Lord Ye, the chrysanthemums in the inner courtyard are really a sight, I remember that in previous years, I passed in front of the Baiteng Qingyuan in Zhangren Palace, and I never saw such good chrysanthemums."

Ye Zhiqiu put down the teapot, handed over the fragrant cup again, and said with a smile: "Lord Han has won the award." I think that the Baiteng Qingyuan is a royal garden, and it is the imperial garden that Concubine Jing spent a lot of effort to renovate, with a hundred flowers and rare plants everywhere. How can I compare with this district Shangshu Mansion. As he spoke, he asked casually: "Baiteng Qingyuan already belongs to the inner garden of the palace, Lord Han went there, it must be the one in the Evergreen Palace who invited you to tea?" ”

Han Fu raised his glass and took a sip and praised: "Good tea!" Putting down the teacup, he said, "Good utensils!" ”

"To be honest, over the years, no matter what kind of good tea he has come up with to drink with me, it is not as good as drinking it comfortably from Master Ye. Every time I go to his tea garden, it is a great gift in the eyes of others, but when I think of him as a descendant of the Muyun clan, I always feel like a fish in my throat. ”

Ye Zhiqiu said with relief: "Fortunately, it's finally time to operate, and now that Mu Yunzuo's henchman has been removed, your life should be much better." ”

"But the next thing is ...... I don't have a lot of confidence in my heart, so after yesterday's court meeting, I gave you a look. ”

"Actually, even if Lord Han doesn't give me a look, I want to invite Lord Han to come over and talk about it, after all, I don't know anything about the situation on the edge of the Hanjiang River. Does Lord Han think there's something wrong with Lee Houcong? ”

"Lord Ye, do you remember how he looked in the court yesterday? After Mu Yunzuo died, I returned to the imperial capital with a large army, and he sat on the Hanyuan Hall and obviously wanted to ask in detail, but he didn't dare to ask too much in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. ”

"Remember, he gave you the trick himself, for fear of revealing some flaws in front of the ministers, so he had to hold back the words in his stomach." Ye Zhiqiu sighed: "He is such a cautious person, it is not strange to do this at all." ”

"Yes, I led the troops to the Hanjiang River, and I just said that there was a plan in my bag, and I hurriedly opened it to see, but I didn't think that he just asked me to wait for the pigeon harrier. As Lord Ye said at the beginning, it's better not to see this tip. ”

"When did his harrier get the message to you?"

"The night before Mu Yunzuo arrived in Hanjiang, the pigeon harrier arrived, and he was really good at all times."

"What does the letter say?"

The letter only said that let Mu Yunzuo get on the Fengtou ship alone, and when he got on the ship, someone from the blue sea would take action. Once the ship sinks, I want to use the name of the leaderless army to stabilize the army by the river. ”

"Oh? And then what? ”

"In the army, except for Mu Yunzuo, who is the highest in my rank, the rest of the generals are naturally not easy to speak, and I will say, 'The commander has been lost, please ask Your Majesty to show me as the name', and the pigeon harrier passed the book to the imperial capital."

"And then he sent you another decree from the master to return to the pilgrimage? Hahaha. Ye Zhiqiu secretly sighed that this move was really like Mu Yun's trick.

"No, I didn't even pass on the message he asked, because the holy decree of the class master returning to the pilgrimage was brought with it as early as the first pigeon harrier messenger, and I just asked the army to wait by the river for a few days, and then took out the holy decree and read it according to the script."

"If you take precautions, then the rest of the generals don't have any suspicions?"

"I didn't suspect it, but I was so frightened that I didn't know what was happening, but when I saw that the decree had arrived, they were relieved that they wouldn't run around like flies without a head. The commanders are gone, what kind of battle are they fighting? Along the way, some people laughed at me, saying that my Shenji Battalion was the life of staying in the imperial capital, and I went to the Hanjiang River, and I could go back unscathed. ”

Speaking of this, Han Fu suddenly remembered that the soldier of the Shenji Battalion, who was excellent in martial arts, was probably buried with Mu Yunzuo, and he was quite sorry.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what he was thinking, and said that he had palpitations, and asked: "Since everything is so clear, what else is he worried about, I think it is good that he passed it with such an understatement in the palace yesterday." In fact, he already knew the result, but he just wanted to know how Mu Yunzuo died. ”

Han Fu frowned and said: "I just don't understand this, after retiring from the dynasty yesterday, I specially asked the palace eyeliner, he obviously hated the Taishi Mansion to the bone, but now Mu Yunzuo is dead." After he left the court yesterday, he not only did not like it, but he was very depressed. ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "No wonder you don't understand, you don't know, in the days when you were not in the imperial capital, there was also a lot of movement in Zhangren Palace." ”

"What's going on?"

"Li Taijun and Wei Taifei both died overnight."

"Is there a secret in it?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "Although I don't know the specific details, but Concubine Wei had a lot of festivals with the Li sisters when she was young, you have eyes and ears in the palace, and you also know that she did those things that stole beams and changed pillars back then." I guess that it should be Concubine Wei who broke his life experience in front of Li Houcong and forced Li Houcong to kill Li Taijun. ”

Han Fu was speechless: "Tut-tut, these women are really more ruthless than the other." If Concubine Wei does this, won't she be able to live herself? ”

"She must have planned to break the net before she could pull Li Taijun off the horse."

"But no matter how ruthless these women are, they are not as ruthless as Li Houcong, Li Taijun is his own aunt, so he killed him like this?"

"Hehehe, where is there still family affection in front of Dan Fan steps. If Li Houcong found out about his life experience, and knew that anyone also knew about it at the same time, he would naturally kill people and kill him. If not, how can he sit firmly on the throne? ”

Han Fu suddenly realized, "What do you mean by saying that Li Houcong knew that he was the descendant of the Mu Yun clan, that is, he knew that Mu Yun Zuo was his cousin, so after knowing the news of his death, he was a little depressed?" ”

"Approximately. But what does it matter if he is happy or not with us? Why should Lord Han care about this? ”

"Yes...... Now as soon as I think that this play is a killing between their Mu Yun clan, my heart is extremely happy. This is thanks to Lord Ye's good plan. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's smile suddenly narrowed, and he said indifferently: "This is Lord Han lifting me." Speaking of these schemes, I am just adding fuel to the fire, and the real plotters still have to push Wen Lan. If it weren't for him lurking in Taiye City to lure Zhu Zhiling into fighting with Li Houcong, we would only be afraid that we would have to wait for an opportunity in this imperial capital. ”

Han Fu nodded and said, "Yes, this Wen Lan is really an extremely powerful character, thousands of miles away, he can also kill people invisibly." Unexpectedly, in just half a month's effort, Mu Yunzuo and Zhu Zhiling died, and his move cleared a lot of obstacles for our future. ”

"For us?" Ye Zhiqiu laughed: "Where is he for us, he is staring at the great rivers and mountains of the Bihai Country by himself, and this little thing in the imperial capital of Wanhua is just that he piggybacked." If I'm not mistaken, he would have already stationed his army in the north of Linzhou at this moment. How...... Isn't there any news from the military department? ”

"I really can't hide anything from Lord Ye." Han Fu clapped his hands and smiled: "Actually, the Ministry of War has received the news, saying that the Imulan army has arrived in Baodi City, and the lord of the country is here in person." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's eyes revealed a complicated look, and he muttered, "Lord of the country? …… Do you mean dust? ”

"It should be. It is said that Xiaochen has changed his name to Su You. ”

"Which you?"

Han Fu didn't speak, Ye Zhiqiu already understood.

"He really still can't forget Mu Yunyou......."

"I also grew up watching this kid grow up, and he is a person who misses the old love. Isn't that right? In the future, when we meet on both sides of the Hanjiang River, we will be able to help us succeed. ”

"Old love...... Ye Zhiqiu suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart.

Although the old relationship is good, it is also separated, but he is actually not sure which one is heavier in Su Xiaochen's heart, himself or Mu Yunyou.

Now that I think about it, I have always been a strict father to Xiaochen, and although I have the intention of strict discipline here, I am more or less reluctant to approach out of a kind of vigilance and precaution. In contrast, Mu Yunyou was more distracting and much purer with him.

It's better to be better, but there is still an aunt to help press the scales, so he won't even care about his aunt's old love for him.

Han Fu saw that he was thinking about it, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

Ye Zhiqiu was reluctant to break it down with him, and frowned: "You just said that the military department has already received the news, so why didn't you report it to Li Houcong?" ”
