Chapter 685 - Ascending (II)

The death of Huang Yue's mother, Bao Yiqing, was the latest chapter of the Infinite Bloody Evolution. Huang Yuandu also vaguely knew that this was Huang Song playing behind his back. Although he was very angry in his heart, Huang Yuandu still decided to suppress the matter. After all, this family ugly is too big.

Huang Song has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has grown up as a young man, so he is highly valued by Huang Yuandu, and he has always thought that Huang Song has his own style. As for Huang Yue, Huang Yuandu had a headache. Huang Yue is a well-known gentleman in Jiangning, causing trouble every day, even breaking his forehead, and winning the "good name" of "three-eyed glutton".

Because of this, Huang Yuandu has always cultivated Huang Song as his successor. Huang Song did not disappoint him, and he was just twenty years old. After a few years of training, he became the young Yin of Jiangning Mansion, and this year he became the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which can be described as in his prime and has a bright future. However, since Huang Song was suffocated in Licheng and even Dajin, the whole person has undergone some changes. Not only have people become darker, but they don't pay attention to means in doing things, and there is almost no bottom line.

For example, during Huang Song's reign at the helm of Dark Eagle, he used a lot of means behind Huang Yuandu's back. Just like the pursuit and killing of Song Xiaolang that time, and the later use of scoundrels to deal with Huitong Trading Bank, are some ways that cannot be put on the table. Although the political struggle itself is inseparable from conspiracy, it must also be used magnificently. If you don't have a certain amount of mind, you can't achieve great things. And Huang Song seems to be getting more and more drilling......

In contrast, Huang Yue is changing in the other direction. In order to run a good Huitong trading bank, Huang Yue united with Xu Mingxuan and went to the nunnery to apologize to Xu Mingxuan's sweetheart; You can go to Bao's house to negotiate with Bao Zhiqing in person; You can think of ways to ask for holy inscriptions...... Huang Yue's whole person is no longer so frivolous, and even has a trace of modesty and restraint, which was unimaginable in the past.

Especially in this Qi army's attack on Guanzhong, Huang Yue and Huitong Trading Company assisted Huang Yuandu to make every effort to supply military supplies, and made a lot of contributions. Due to the rapid development of Huitong Commerce and Trade Bank, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the effect on everyone in Jiangnan is becoming more and more obvious, and even countermeasures. (Of course, this is also related to the raid of the Ji family by the ancestors, which is a deterrent to everyone in Jiangnan.) )

Speaking of which, the changes in Huang Yue and Huang Song are all related to Song Zheng. Huang Song fell in front of Song Zheng and became paranoid; Huang Yue got the help of Song Zheng and gradually went on the right path.

Because of this, the relationship between Huang Yuandu and Huang Yue has changed from indifference to closeness, but he is gradually dissatisfied with Huang Song. Even so, Huang Song has always been Huang Yuandu's valued son, even if he is angry, Huang Yuandu still wants to let Huang Song return to the right path through education and guidance. Who knows, now Huang Song actually wants to do something that hurts relatives and enemies are happy---- kill the "Lu Lao" who once helped him, and let the people of the Guogong Mansion get rid of Mu Yi around Huang Yue.

As the father of Huang Yue and Huang Song, Huang Yuandu still hopes that his two sons can get along in harmony and jointly maintain a peaceful and wealthy family. Now it seems a bit ridiculous. In fact, since Huang Yuandu deliberately favored and concealed Bao Yiqing's death, Huang Yue and Huang Song have become enemies, almost endlessly.

Thinking of this, Huang Yuandu felt extremely sad, with tears in his eyes, and muttered, "Yiqing, I'm still sorry for you!" ”

This night, Huang Yuandu hardly slept anymore, and after thinking about it, he considered how to deal with the affairs of the Guogong Mansion and Huang Song. It's good for his son to say, first pull it over and ask it, and then let someone check it, if the situation is true, he will teach him a good lesson, even if he is half dead, it doesn't matter. It's not easy to get through that old thing, begging the world to read it all. The old thing has been prepared for so long, and the foundation is very thick, but it can't be suppressed in three or two sentences.

Anyway, there are rumors now that Xiao Tong may be appointed as a lieutenant, and he will make this matter yellow no matter what.

The sky is already clear, Huang Yuandu, who has not slept all night, is about to sleep, and the palace decrees that the saint and the Queen Mother Huang Jiao will summon Huang Yuandu to discuss the affairs in the palace of the Queen Mother.

Huang Yuandu couldn't, so he had to freshen up, get on a sedan chair, and go to the palace. The housekeeper was very considerate and instructed the sedan chair to go slower, so that Huang Yuandu squinted in the sedan chair for a while.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the Queen Mother's Palace, and Huang Yuandu just dozed off and arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace. As a prince, Huang Yuandu entered the Empress Dowager's palace with a lot less vulgar etiquette, and the sedan chair did not stop until outside the palace gate.

Rubbing his eyes and straightening his official hat, Huang Yuandu walked out of the sedan chair. As soon as the cold wind blew, Huang Yuandu's body shook and he almost fell, but the sedan chair man hurriedly held him up. Huang Yuandu sighed secretly, he was really old, and he couldn't stand it after staying up all night. I think that back then, when I first became the county magistrate, in order to deal with the backlog of cases of my predecessor, I didn't pay attention for five days and five nights......

After being sentimental for a moment, Huang Yuandu took a step and entered the palace gate.

The hall was very warm, except for the palace maids who accompanied them, there were only two people: the queen mother and the little emperor. Huang Yuandu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, there were only his daughter and grandson, and it didn't matter if he indulged a little.

The etiquette of the line is still to be practiced. After giving the gift, Huang Yuandu naturally got a spacious large chair. Huang Yuandu is also a frequent visitor in the Queen Mother's Palace, and Huang Jiao deliberately let people sit on such a wide and thick chair, which can be regarded as a bit of filial piety.

Seeing that Huang Yuandu's spirit was a little sluggish, Huang Jiao and Xiao Ying both greeted each other a few words, and soon turned to the main topic.

"Father, after the death of Xiao Hui, the post of Tai Lieutenant is vacant, and there are also candidates for the commander of Xijing Pass and the left and right soldiers and horses, all of which must be set today. The country cannot be without a commander for a day, the army cannot be without a general for a day, and the mourning family is slow and dreams are long. Huang Jiao cocked her nails and spoke in a quiet voice.

Xiao Ying also talked eloquently, "The commander of Xijingguan can also say that General Yang Zhen, who is now in charge of the city guards, is competent. As for the left and right soldiers and horses, one selected Xin Qiji, who had made great contributions this time, and the other had to be selected from the border generals. My plan is for the Tokyo Seki general to be Gu Poyu. Xin Qiji is good at using tricks, Gu Poyu is abnormal, and the two complement each other well. Coupled with Yang Zhen sitting in charge, it will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai in my Guanzhong. ”

Obviously, Xiao Ying has worked the generals in the army who are ranked number one in Daqi, and she is the first to talk about it. Huang Yuandu looked at it and nodded secretly, it will be the New Year in twenty days, and the little emperor will be seventeen years old. It's only a year since the pro-government. The current Xiao Ying is like two people from her childhood stubbornness.

Xiao Ying is seven feet four inches tall, with a prominent forehead, cheekbones, and chin, although she doesn't look very handsome, she has a terrifying heroic spirit. Xiao Ying's voice is rough, and it sounds very rich, not like a teenager. However, this voice made him speak calmly and with dignified confidence, and these factors, coupled with his status as the Nine Kings, made Xiao Ying's words very convincing.

Huang Yuandu has no opinion on this adjustment. Speaking of which, when Yang Zhen was appointed as the commander of the city guards, Huang Yuandu was still a little uncomfortable. When the old man of Yang Town (the handsome Han Zhong) was overthrown, Huang Yuandu also used a lot of means. Although Huang Yuandu didn't know how Xiao Hui persuaded Yang Zhen and married his daughter to Yang Zhen's son Yang Dong, he also knew that Yang Zhen didn't treat him very well. Yang Zhen can "meet and smile and sorrow" with Xiao Hui, but he may not be able to let him go Huang Yuandu.

Now, Huang Yuandu is very happy to transfer Yang Zhen to Chang'an and inherit his in-laws' career of conquering the west.

Regarding the two candidates of Xin Qiji and Gu Poyu, Huang Jiao also agreed. In that place of Chang'an, there is a Weishui River across Dajin's army, which is not very safe, and it is very suitable to put a few people with strong combat power to preside over Guanzhong.

The three of them all nodded in agreement, and the candidates for Xijingguan were decided. As for the opinions of other people in the DPRK and China, I am sorry that Daqi has not yet made progress to the point of organizing appraisal and democratic appraisal.

"Regarding the position of Tai Lieutenant, in view of the current situation, it is better to choose a person who is old and respectful. Gao Deshao, who was in charge of the army for many years, had rich experience, so it was still very suitable for him to be in charge of the Taiwei Mansion for a period of time. Huang Jiao said very casually, as if she was saying something very natural.

Huang Yuandu glanced at it, but Xiao Ying lowered her head and was turning the teacup in her hand back and forth, as if she was playing with an ancient jade. Huang Yuandu didn't know what Xiao Ying was thinking, so he had to say, "The old prince does have some prestige, but he is too old, he is over seventy years old, and he is in his old age, so it is doubtful whether he can have the energy to manage the army well." Besides, now that the war has just ended, the situation in the army is complicated, and the old prince has been out of the army for many years, and he will take charge of the Taiwei Mansion when he comes up, I am afraid that he will serve the public. ”

"Oh, the old man is indeed older." Huang Jiao's voice was faint, but she didn't fiercely refute her father, "Actually, it's nothing. We don't need Lao Guogong to be in charge of the Taiwei Mansion all the time, but to use his prestige to stabilize the army. After a year or two, or when the emperor is in power, just choose another person. As for being out of the army for a long time, that's not a problem. I once asked Imperial Physician Xi that the old man was still quite concerned about the military. Many of his protégés and in-laws are all working in the army. The old prince still knows a lot about military affairs, so there should be no unfamiliarity. ”

……

Huang Yuandu and Huang Jiao talked as if chatting, and the meaning was obvious. The two talked for a while, and then looked at Xiao Ying, who was not young, so the two naturally wanted to ask his opinion, after all, he was the emperor.

Xiao Ying was also hesitant, Qiao Zhenchuan and Dong Lancheng made him a little sad, and he was in a very bad mood in the past two days. Xiao Hui died, the army was empty, the officers were greedy, and Xiao Ying received so many negative things in just a few days, and she was so uncomfortable.

The candidate for Tai Lieutenant was in a stalemate, and at this moment, a major event occurred in the Guogong Mansion, which directly made the ascension of the throne a foregone conclusion.

--------

On the tenth day of the lunar month, it is a big day for the Guogong Mansion, and Sun Xiaoting, the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, married Cong Yushuang, the daughter of Cong Kui, the soldier and horse envoy of the right road of Shandong Guan. As early as the beginning of October, Cong Kui sent his daughter to Jiangning and lived in his old house, and all the applications were purchased in Jiangning.

The eldest grandson of the Guogong Mansion got married, and the entire Jiangning City was a sensation. The first lantern of the Guogong Mansion was lit up, and the guests gathered. Almost all the officials of Jiangning City and the nearby state capitals rushed to the Guogong Mansion.
