sent away the envoy of Fanguo, and within a few days, it was the first day of the fourth month. Early this morning, Yun Xi touched his side while half asleep but didn't touch anything, and suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

As soon as he looked sideways to the side, he heard a woman's voice coming: "Husband is awake?" Yun Xi raised her head and saw Baoqin who had already gotten up and dressed neatly, and realized that she was not wearing the usual home clothes she wore today, although it was not formal, but it was also very luxurious.

He saw that Baoqin had a faint sadness on his face, and he was a little curious, and suddenly thought of what day it was, and suddenly understood the reason, straightened up and said to her: "After a while, you see Ye Zigao, don't tell him more about his father's death, so as not to be sad." ”

"However, husband, the concubine still wants to know what happened before her father's death, although it is useless to know these things, but she still wants to know." Huqin sat on the edge of the bed and said softly.

"This is also the nature of father and son, when the imperial grandfather passed away, the husband knew that the grandfather was dead, but he still didn't want to admit it."

Yun Xi gently hugged her and comforted her, and when she saw that it was not early, she got up and put on her clothes; dragged her to breakfast, and was about to go to the court, thinking that she would be sad to see Ye Zigao today, and told the cronies and female officials holding the qin to comfort her more when the time came, and then go to the court. But he didn't see the incomprehensible look in the female officer's eyes.

When he was in the last dynasty, Chen Huan, the governor of the right army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, came out and said: "Your Majesty, since you have added the title of the original hereditary commander and the left minister of the Yong Domain, Xu Zengshou, as the uncle, according to the decree set by the first emperor that year, he should be ordered to come to the capital to receive a reward, and I also ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Longevity and return to Beijing? Permit. "At the same time, Yun Xi recalled that he was crowned Yun Xi as the Yongwang in the second year of Jianye, and Xu Zengshou was appointed as the left minister of the Yongfan, and it has been three years since this year. Will you transfer him back to the capital? After all, Xu Huizu served as the commander of the Shaanxi capital in the northwest, and promoted the soldiers and horses of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, while he served as the left minister of the Yongfan in the northeast, and the power of the Xu family was too great. ’

However, Yun Xi thought about it and still didn't move him for the time being. 'For the sake of stability, wait until next year, no, wait until the year after next to transfer him, whether it is Yun Xi or him, at least one of them must guard the domain. ’

After thinking about this matter, Yun Xi praised Xu Jingchang a few words, and encouraged everyone to work hard to serve the country by the way: "Xu Jingchang fought in Annan this time and made great contributions. ”

"The ministers must follow Commander Xu and die for the country." All the generals immediately said in unison.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping." Yun Xi asked them to stand up and said a few more words, as if Xu Jingchang was a model for the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

After a short time, Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace to answer the day's excerpts, and when he saw that the time was not early, he thought for a moment and got up to go to Zhong Cui Palace.

When he came to Zhongcui Palace, Xu Jingchang and a few people were about to leave, and when they saw him, they hurriedly saluted, returned the salute, said a few words to Xu Jingchang, and walked into the palace.

But when Yun Xi and Xu Jingchang staggered by, he noticed that Xu Jingchang's clothes seemed to be a little dirty, even if they had been wiped over, he could see it, and suddenly thought: 'Jingchang fell on the way here?' Why are the clothes so unclean? At the same time, he asked casually: "Jingchang, what's the matter with your clothes?" ”

"On the way here, I accidentally hit a carriage while riding a horse and rubbed it." Xu Jingchang replied.

"You're too careless, there are a lot of people in the capital, and there are many vehicles coming and going, especially some roads are very narrow, and when you cross the intersection, you can't see whether there are cows and horses walking on the road, but you have to be careful. You were just poisoned in Annan, why are you so careless? Yun Xi reprimanded.

Xu Jingchang was not convinced: 'These two things are not the same thing, how can they be compared?' But he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only listen. Yun Xi said a few more words to him before entering Zhong Cui Palace.

Yun Xi walked into Miaojin's dormitory, and saw tears on her face, and hurriedly got up to salute when she heard the palace maid's report. Yun Xi stopped her, took the handkerchief from the hand of the eunuch who followed her, gently wiped her face, and asked, 'What's the matter?' I should be happy to see Jingchang return to Beijing, why did I cry? ’

"The concubine is crying with joy." Miaojin said with a smile: "The concubine still remembers that Jingchang was very naughty when he was a child, and he was often caught by the fourth brother for a good beating, and he still scolded while beating, saying that he would never be successful in his life, and the eldest brother was always worried that he and Xu Qin were disobedient. But now Jingchang has earned a hereditary title, and what is more interesting is that it was given to the fourth brother, and I don't know what the fourth brother would think when he was entitled. ”

Yun Xi imagined Xu Zengshou's expression when he learned that Jing Chang had earned him a knight, and he also laughed. He and Xu Zengshou are also more familiar, after all, the Xu family was the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and several children of the Xu family entered the palace as companions for the prince when they were young. "What else can you think about this? I must be very happy. But he said it anyway.

Miao Jin also knew that he was ridiculing the fourth brother, so he gently slapped him a few times with his small fist, and said: "Husband, the fourth brother of the concubine has no face to see his son after returning to Beijing, and you still tease him." ”

They laughed a few words, and Miaojin said: "Actually, the concubine cried not only because she cried with joy, but also because he could come back safely." ”

"This time I went to Annan, and the concubine naturally missed her husband, and later learned that her husband was also very dangerous and scared for a while. The concubine's mother believed in Buddhism and worshiped Guanyin Bodhisattva, although she passed away before the concubine grew up, but the concubine was also close to the Buddhist family, and later learned that her husband was also so dangerous after also rewarding the temple near the capital with thousands of taels of silver. ”

"But the second thing the concubine is worried about is Jingchang. The so-called swords and guns have no eyes, when I was a child, I listened to my eldest brother, and the battlefield was very chaotic, and I couldn't pay attention to the cold arrows at all, and I would die if I wasn't careful. The concubine has been in the house since she was a child, and the eldest brother and the fourth brother have often been sent out to fight, although they have come back every time, but they don't know how many have been changed. Now that he has married and had children, and has a large family, if he accidentally dies in battle, how will their orphans and widows live? is to have a brother to take care of, in the end is not as good as his father. The husband also knew that the relationship between the concubine and Jingchang was very good, so the concubine was very worried about him. Fortunately, he came back safely. ”

Miaojin is not only worried about him because he has a good relationship with Jingchang, but also because Xu Jingchang is now the pillar of the third generation of the Xu family, if he falls, the third generation of the Xu family will be empty.

Although she behaves similar to Xiyi on weekdays, she is completely different on the inside. Xiyi is simple-minded, and her sister handles everything, so she doesn't care about everything; And she knows that it is impossible to be made a queen, and her status is here, so she doesn't have to worry about many things, so she behaves very simply on weekdays, but in fact, she thinks about everything in her heart.

Miaojin has had a good relationship with several brothers since she was a child, so she has always remembered the future of the Xu family. And now the Xu family is the same as the Chang family, only one person in the third generation has a future, that is, Xu Jingchang, in order for the Xu family to continue to prosper, how can she not remember him?

Miaojin's thoughts, Yun Xi also guessed something, and he also heard the implication of what she muttered just now: I beg my husband not to send Jingchang to fight too dangerous battles in the future.

This time he made meritorious contributions, and his husband not only added the hereditary title of longevity, but also promoted his official position to commander. The commander is different from the thousand households, in ordinary battles, the commander is standing behind and commanding, and will not personally lead the troops to rush ahead. Yoon-hee explained.

Hearing this, Miao Jin was really happy, put her arm around him and said: "The concubine also knows that Jingchang is a Ming soldier, and since he has received the court's favor, he has to serve the court, but Jingchang is the nephew of the concubine after all, so I can't help but worry about him." ”

They talked for a while, ordered someone to bring Wen Kun over, teased for a while, and Yun Xi ordered the imperial dining room to set the meal.

Soon they finished eating, and Yun Xi was about to return to the dormitory to rest with Miao Jin, when suddenly a little eunuch walked in and whispered something to Huang Lu; Huang Lu also hurriedly came to Yun Xi's side and said, "Official, there is an urgent report from the northwest. ”

According to Yun Xi's own rules, all reports about Samarkand, unless he was already asleep, had to be reported to him as soon as possible, so he said a few words to Miao Jin at this time and hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, he saw a person with very dirty clothes standing in the middle, and when he saw him walk in, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "The minister has seen Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Flat. What's really going on in the Northwest? Yun Xi asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Qin Domain, that Timur, the lord of Samarkand, sent troops to attack the White Horde, but his lord did not notice it for a while, and was attacked by him and defeated with one blow. Now that the lord of the White Horde did not know whether he was alive or dead, Timur himself led his troops to attack the Blue Horde. The man said.

'Timur is trying to clear the restless forces around him before the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty. After this battle, the White Horde must have suffered heavy losses, even if it had the heart to support the Ming Dynasty, it would be terrible. ’

It can only be seen how Timur sent troops to conquer the Blue Horde Khan. If the Blue Horde is also crossed by a blow, Timur will be able to confidently and boldly advance eastward to the Ming Dynasty next year. ’
