The south has warmed up quickly this winter, and the weather has warmed up significantly in the middle and late of the first month.

Seeing that the weather was good, the right general Sha Qianying hurriedly trained the navy, and Duanwang, who was responsible for supervising the training of the army, naturally followed suit.

Out of Beijing for more than a month, supervising the training of soldiers and horses every day, Duanwang is a little thinner than before, but the spirit is quite good, the whole person exudes a rare strength and ability from the inside out.

When the steward sent by Princess Duan came to Gyeongnam, King Duan had just returned from the military camp and school to the house where he lived in Pinghu Prefecture.

It stands to reason that King Duan was responsible for supervising the training of the navy and should live in the military camp, but because the generals in the camp were afraid of treating the prince and prince harshly, they insisted that King Duan live in the city.

And King Duan was also afraid that he would live in the military camp and leave the impression of actively attracting the army in the eyes of Emperor Liyang, so he was kind and made a small privilege.

Nowadays, the place where Duanwang temporarily settled is called Heyuan, which is a garden specially contributed by a wealthy merchant in Pinghu Mansion, Duanwang loves its quiet location, elegant environment, and close to the military camp outside the city, so he lives here.

The original owner of Yin Hehe Garden in Pinghu Mansion sent another hundred servants to King Duan to serve King Duan's food and daily life for him to send.

Therefore, although this Pinghu Heyuan is not as prosperous and luxurious as the palace of the capital, the life of King Duan is not sad.

Courtyard Garden, Study

King Duan took a bath, changed his clothes, and then asked the guards to call the steward, took the letter from Huang Wei'er copied by Princess Duan, and read it carefully.

After a while, a hint of joy appeared on King Duan's plain face, and he said with a smile: "This is Yuan Han's statement to this king." ”

can be sent by Princess Duan to deliver such an important secret letter, the steward is naturally Princess Duan's confidant, and he understands the weight of this letter in his heart, and when he sees that King Duan is happy, he immediately pays tribute to his master.

"After the princess read Mrs. Yan's letter, she immediately wrote a letter for the little one to send to the prince, and she knew that you must be happy to read this letter."

"The princess understands the king's mind the most, and she is the king's virtuous helper."

King Duan was happy in his heart, and naturally praised and affirmed Princess Duan's view of how to be proper.

The steward didn't talk about how to be happy for his master, Princess Duan, King Duan held the letter in his hand, and saw Yan Kui's almost clear gesture of goodwill, and his heart was happy.

A month ago, he had just been cleaned up by Emperor Liyang and was forced to leave the capital and go as far as Gyeongnam.

When he first came to Pinghu Mansion, Duanwang dreamed back late at night, and imagined several times that if he was still in the capital, what would the situation of Duanwang's party be now, would he already be in the East Palace, and the prince would be lonely.

It wasn't until some time ago that King Duan barely recovered his mind, hid his unwillingness in his heart, and followed Sha Qianying to supervise the training of the navy in a down-to-earth manner.

But sometimes in his spare time, he is still worried about the situation in the capital.

…………

And such a nervous mind suddenly became much more stable after Duanwang learned that Yan Kui had taken refuge in him.

He commanded 80,000 elite soldiers and horses, the second-in-command of the border army, and the number one general of the new generation in the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Thinking of Yan Kui's various things, Duanwang's confidence is very sufficient, and with such a heavy general under his command, he is like taking a reassuring pill.

What about leaving Beijing?

There are fierce generals and strong troops under this king, no matter what the situation is in the future, he will not have to worry about his life.

The more Duan Wang thought about it, the happier he became, the whole person was refreshed, and his already high spirit became more and more excited.

He looked at the steward and commanded: "Let the princess and Mrs. Yan have a lot of friendship, and in the name of this king, inform Wen Shangshu and others, inform General Yan's identity, let them help in the court, and fully support General Yan's power in the border army."

The stakes are very high, and the pen and ink are easy to leave traces, so you can write down these words carefully and pass them on orally. ”

The steward knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't worry, the villain will definitely bring the words." ”

King Duan nodded, waved his hand to let the steward step down first, and then called his own personal guards, muttered for a while, and instructed: "Then transfer a team of secret guards from the capital, who will be responsible for liaising with General Xiao Guanyan, remember, don't let the princess know about this matter, lest she be distracted." ”

The guards replied: "My subordinates understand, I will send someone to arrange it in a while." ”

King Duan bowed his head lightly, although the husband and wife are one, but the Zhang family, the maiden family of Princess Duan, is a prominent family, and the personnel background is complicated, even though most of the people are his party, but there are inevitably a few bastards who eat inside and out.

This is not alarmist, Duanwang has suffered this loss.

The Zhang family has a wide range of connections and countless protégés, which can bring a lot of convenience to Duanwang, but at the same time, because of the many friends, the dragons and snakes are mixed, and the words and deeds are not secret.

If it is on the side, it will be leaked out, but Yan Kui holds military power and has a great deal to do with his plan to seize the heir. For some of these secret matters, it is impossible for King Duan to let the Zhang family participate.

In the previous lady diplomacy that covered people's ears, King Duan asked Princess Duan to hide from the Zhang family as much as possible, not to mention the fateful matter related to the military power of the border army, and the "big mouth" of the Zhang family must be guarded against.

…………

Thinking of his wife who was not secret, King Duan had a headache, and even Yan Kui's joy at surrendering was a little lighter.

The Zhang family is good at everything, the family style is upright, there are many talents, King Duan married Princess Duan, and many officials who are good friends with the Zhang family have joined the service, and their strength has risen sharply.

However, there are gains and losses, because the Zhang family has many relatives and friends, and there are many who can help with things, but there are also many who cause trouble and stab Lou Zi.

However, the Zhang family has a good reputation, a strong reputation, and a son-in-law who is a prince, and others like to ask the Zhang family for help if they have any major disasters or small difficulties.

Although the head of the Zhang family, Duanwang's old Taishan and a few brothers-in-law are quite light and sensible, they can't stand the fact that there is a group of female relatives at home.

I don't know how the late old man Zhang picked his daughter-in-law, the old lady of the Zhang family is famous for her "bodhisattva heart", and what is even more rare is that she does things to help her relatives and not help her, and she is an old fool, because of her, I don't know how many rights and wrongs she has recruited for the Zhang family.

And the old lady's daughters-in-law also had more "right" ideas than the other, inherited the old lady's ability, and continued to stab their men in the back.

Sometimes King Duan thinks of the terrible wives of his wife's family, and he can't help but be afraid, fortunately, his princess grew up with her father since she was a child, and she didn't raise a crooked temperament, otherwise he would have put on a "Bodhisattva Princess" of Xiao Qi's grandmother, and he couldn't cry.

is also because of the bastards made by these bad women of the Zhang family, Duanwang has a very bad impression of the Zhang family in his heart.

Its status in King Duan's heart is not as important as the Kong family where the Empress Dowager Kong is located and the family of several henchmen such as Wen Heng.

Of course, everything has to be compared.

Although the Zhang family is troublesome, it is still small compared with King Jing's wife, the Chang family.

That is one of the "culprits" of King Jing's current fate.........
