At the same time, the news came back from Concubine Min's eyeliner, and the eldest aunt looked at her mouth and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the master of the horse is looking for the Ling family, which saves our hearts." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"

Concubine Min snorted, "I really underestimate his ability." “

"But there is something unknown about the slave maid," the eldest aunt wondered, "I thought that the concubine was friendly with the Marquis of Zhongyi??"

"How?" Concubine Min's indifferent face finally changed slightly, "Don't you say that Marquis Zhongyi saved the horse master, and if the relationship is not good, he will personally rescue him?" “

"This is also the strange thing about the slave maid," the eldest aunt said, "The wire report said that Xie Juma was looking for the eldest grandmother of the Ling family, and the slave maid repeatedly confirmed that it was Mrs. Yun. “

"Interesting." Concubine Min's tail voice went up, and she asked without a beginning or an end, "Does the tenth princess know about this?" “

The eldest aunt shook her head uncertainly. "The slave doesn't dare to talk much, I don't know if I don't report it, I shouldn't know."

Concubine Min: "When you meet Huanzhi again, knock on the side to remind her, and ask her to pay attention to the movement of the horse." “

The eldest aunt said she knew: "What about this time? “

Concubine Min raised her hand, "It's all a trivial matter, now that the wind and rain are coming, the Qin family finally can't sit still." “

"Yes. Do you want to tell King Rui??"

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Min suddenly cast a sharp gaze, and the eldest aunt swallowed her spit and quickly changed her words, "The slave should die, please atone for your sins, do you want to tell the lord about these things?" “

"Tell what?" Concubine Min looked at her unhappily, "Say that the master has an outside heart?" “

"No, no, no. Maybe the slave and maid misunderstood the concubine," the eldest aunt felt that she had said the wrong thing, "Your Royal Highness and the concubine have always been harmonious. “

"What is harmonious, it's all for outsiders," Concubine Min sneered, "Xie Zongren can also make the best use of things, if it is not a good skin, how to coax the princess." The princess is just less and more important, how can this kind of man be clean. “

The eldest aunt understood, "Or the slave maid will go to check the details of the master of the horse, and only inquire about his escape, who would have thought that his life was dying, and he still had the heart to hook up with the girl." “

"Don't mention him." The more Concubine Min thought about it, the more she regretted it, "I should have fought with this life to stop the Empress Dowager in the first place." “

There are all kinds of medicines in the world, but there is no regret medicine.

The eldest aunt pursed her lips and didn't say what she wanted to say.

"That's it, that's it, it's come to this, it's safe," Concubine Min sighed, and changed her words, "Look at Ming'er, and call the eyeliner of the imperial study to be more vigilant." “

The eldest aunt said she knew.

??

In fact, not only Concubine Min is waiting for the Qin family to turn the tables, but those officials who have been suppressed by the Cui family have all straightened their necks and waited for the victory.

Sure enough, the next day, General Qin went to the imperial study after leaving the early dynasty, and even Wang Fu was driven out, no one knew what this meritorious minister said to the emperor, and several ministers of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council entered the palace overnight.

After daybreak, the divisions dispersed.

In the afternoon, the old marquis took the initiative to enter the palace to face the saint, and chatted for an hour, and Wang Fu was also kicked out.

The old marquis left the imperial study with his front feet, and Emperor Jingwen called Wang Fuxuan and Cui Shangshu to enter the palace.

Wang Fu sent someone to invite, and this head came to the tea, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, and this will pass for more than half a day, or squint for a while to nourish your spirit." “

"I don't sleep." Emperor Jingwen knew in his heart that if he slept this night, he wouldn't be able to get up for a while, so it was better to solve the matter in one go.

Wang Fu saw that the emperor was still in a good mood, and began to pat the beard and slip the horse again, "The emperor's diligence is a great fortune for the country, but you have to be careful about your body, you can't stay up, the empress dowager is worried that you can't eat or sleep well, and sends people to tell the servants every day, saying that the emperor can't lose weight anymore." “

Emperor Jingwen didn't look at him in shock, and hummed, "Reward, what do you want, go to the celebrant to choose." “

Wang Fu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and went out of the imperial study, calling his apprentice with five or six spirits. Carry things for him.

On the way there, Wang Fu met Cui Shangshu who hurried into the palace, and the two saluted and exchanged a few words, and Cui Shangshu asked him where he was going.

The apprentice replied proudly: "The master has received His Majesty's reward and is about to go to the celebrant to be the celebrant." “

Wang Fu slapped him and scolded: "Monkey cub, how can you talk in front of Cui Shangshu?" “

The apprentice bowed again and again and stepped aside.

Cui Shangshu asked in a low voice: "My father-in-law serves hard in front of the emperor every day, and the emperor urgently summons the old ministers, why is it the matter?" “

Wang Fu laughed like a chicken thief: "Master Cui doesn't have to worry, it shouldn't be a bad thing." “

After saying that, he took his leave.

Cui Shangshu said thank you, parted ways, and felt a lot less apprehension in his heart.

And when I came out of the imperial study, the joy was even more overflowing.

??

"What did you say?" Yun Xiu's eyes widened and looked at the people on the couch, "Father-in-law handed over the military power in his hand to the Cui family?" “

"Be quiet," Ling Xiao nestled in the soft pillow like a lazy bone, which did not mean her reaction, "The old man entered the palace in the afternoon to say this, and now he is relieved of power, and he is light, so as not to worry about the peak." “

Yun Xiu was puzzled: "No, it's not." I agree with returning the military power to the emperor, but why should I give it to the Cui family? Has the Cui family made fewer stumbles these days? “

Ling Xiao seemed to have no intention of saying: "Anyway, Cui Shangshu has always owed the little power in the hands of the old man, and he gave it to them." “

"Why?" Yun Xiu thought about it and felt that something was wrong, she leaned up to him and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law did it on purpose?" “

Ling Xiao looked at her with a smile and replied, "You guessed and asked me?" “

Yun Xiu sat beside him: "There must be a reason." “

Ling Xiao: "In order to keep General Qin's military power." “

"For the sake of protecting the Qin family, our sacrifice is too great," Yun Xiu looked at him in surprise, "What if they regret it?" “

Saying that, she was a little annoyed: "I knew this was the case, I should have endured it, and persuaded you to stay with Qin Qingsu." “

"Okay, it's not interesting to bring up the old things again," Ling Xiao was a little hungry, "Let's set the meal." We talked as we ate. “

Yun Xiu said yes and asked Chunliu to move the food to the kang table.

Ling Xiao was tired from the Privy Council for a day, and he didn't want to move, and then said: "Qin Qing Su'an keeps to herself, it doesn't matter if the Ling family raises her for the rest of her life, it's nothing more than a pair of chopsticks, if I really keep her for the relationship between the two families, maybe I will be looked down upon by General Qin." “

Yun Xiu: "I don't know about General Qin, but I have been in contact with Mrs. Wen a few times, and I think she is a woman with great ideas and integrity. “

"People gather by like, and things are divided by groups," Ling Xiao said, "Mrs. Wen is still like this, General Qin has the glory of the hairpin family, and all the honor is accumulated by his own blood and sweat, and his temperament can be imagined." We will not sacrifice in vain, and General Qin will not let us sacrifice in vain, and this account will be recovered sooner or later. “

Then he changed his words: "The deployment of Yumen Pass is set, and the time to leave the city is set in ten days." “

Yun Xiu subconsciously asked, "General Qin's decision?" “

Ling Xiao hummed.

Yun Xiu was stunned for a moment, "In such a short time, can you be fully prepared?" “

"I don't know." Ling Xiao shrugged, "The emperor said it would be good to be ready." “

Yun Xiu didn't worry about anything else, "Are you going?" “

"Don't go," Ling Xiao shook his head, "General Qin specially recommended Cui Shangshu's eldest son to the emperor, Cui Yong, to be the vanguard. Cui Shangshu is afraid that I and Qin Ying will steal credit, and we are not on the list. “

"Cui Shangshu is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions," Yun Xiu reacted and only asked, "Is Cui Yong that material?" “

"Cui Yong has the ability, but he doesn't have enough actual combat experience," Ling Xiao said, "He went to Yumen Pass, and it was a mixed blessing." “

"I thought you were going to scold him," Yun Xiu blinked and laughed inexplicably, "I didn't expect to give an objective evaluation." “

"The Cui family sits firmly in the position of the secretary of the military department, not a straw bag," Ling Xiao picked up the chopsticks and said while picking up the vegetables, "The emperor appoints people on the basis of merit, but the most suitable person is the Qin family." “

"Is it because of Mrs. Wen's relationship?" Yun Xiu asked.

"This is one thing," Ling Xiao replied, "The royal blood of the Eight Classics, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the royal family is the same, I haven't figured it out at all." “

Yun Xiu: "What's the matter?" “

"General Qin is the emperor's uncle, not a distant relative," Ling Xiao sandwiched the shaved fish into Yun Xiu's bowl, "Could it be that you are afraid of your uncle's high merits?" “

"Actually, the emperor still has a little affection, I think." Yun Xiu took a bite of sweet and sour fish, and said with satisfaction, "Look at the hairpin family with the Qin family, which one has returned to Beijing?" General Qin said that he would move back if he moved back from Jizhou, and the emperor acquiesced, but it was still for Mrs. Wen's sake. “

Ling Xiao: "This person is not fishy or smelly, it is better not to do it, and Beijing/City is full of eyeliner, how can Jizhou be at ease." I'll tell you this privately, the old man said that General Qin wanted to go back to Jizhou, but now it's difficult to ride a tiger, so he took the trick hard. “

Yun Xiu sighed as she listened, "Jizhou is not far from Yanjing, and the emperor's eyeliner can find you at the ends of the earth." “

"The old man said the same." Ling Xiao nodded and said, "The emperor is worried about it, it's useless to run anywhere." “

Since the undercurrent of the situation is surging, it is better to go with the flow, hold your head, and don't become a bird.

The day of the expedition came in a blink of an eye, and Cui Yong marched from the city gate to the northwest with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Cui Shangshu saw off his son with tears in his eyes, and told him to come back with a lot of money.

Cui Yong naturally agreed, and the father and son were sent off eighteen miles away.

Compared with the excitement and publicity at the city gate, the gate of the military mansion is full of birds, but the house is a different scene, looking for a famous actor to open a church meeting, only the old and young of the Ling family are invited, and Brother Huan does not have to face the bitter gourd face of Mr. Enlightenment. Pulling Brother Fan to run around like crazy, Qin Sasa pulled Yun Xiu to talk about himself, the county lord of Pingkang naturally sat with Mrs. Wen, the old marquis and Qin Jiangjun went to the study, and Qin Ying took Ling Xiao to the stable to admire the newly bought BMW.

Ling Xiao praised Ma Hao, and blamed Qin Ying, "You are too uninteresting, saying that you don't say hello in advance when you come back from illness." I'm going to pick you up halfway through. “

"Just you?" Qin Ying sighed, "I heard that you almost couldn't come back in Zhending, I'm a fake illness, you are really injured, it's hard to say who will pick up whom." “

It's okay not to mention it, but Ling Xiao is angry: "Hey, the Hexi Corridor is not far from Yangguan, Xie Yuma is there to recruit people to chase and kill, you are the commander of the new city." Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary? “

"What about discovery?" Qin Ying asked, "He has a problem in Xincheng, why do you think I came back from illness, Xincheng seems to be calm, and now all the forces in the DPRK and China want to get a piece of the pie, and the commander is not good, and he will lose his black hat and implicate his family." “

"The new city is devastated and in urgent need of reconstruction, where is the good?" Ling Xiao looked at him strangely, "A broken city, I don't want to send it to me." “

"The emperor has sent an additional 40,000 soldiers and horses," Qin Ying said in a word, "You don't know." “

Ling Xiao was stunned: "I really don't know." “

Qin Ying reminded: "The Xu family in Zhangmu City, how did you get the power of tens of thousands of horses?" “

"You mean, these 40,000 horses haven't been planned yet?" Ling Xiao was stunned, and wondered, "The emperor just took it back, and he is willing to let it go?" “

"Not all of them." Qin Ying said, "More than 20,000, as little as 10,000 to the local government, 10,000 or 20,000 military power, and more fragrant gluttony." “

Ling Xiao instigated him: "You don't fight? “

"Indisputable." Qin Ying shook his head, "What's more??"

He suddenly leaned in and whispered, "How do you know that this is not the emperor's bait to seduce the various party forces?" Fight to the end. The emperor will give it to whoever he says, do you dare to say a word? “

"You kid can," Ling Xiao smiled and bumped his elbow against the other party, "It's better than when you first arrived in Yangguan." “

"Why does it sound like an insult?" Qin Ying misses it very much, "It's good when you're still hoarse, quiet." “

"Fuck off."

As he was talking, a sassy voice came from not far away: "Brother, what are you two muttering?" It's been a long time since the congregation began. My mother didn't see you, so let me come to you. “

"Just come." Qin Ying responded and went over with Ling Xiao.

Yun Xiu was also there, she said hello, dusted Ling Xiao with a handkerchief and dipped grass fodder, and quipped, "You are rolling in the stable." “

"No, talk to Qin Ying about something," Ling Xiao said, and looked at Qin Ying again, "It's not an outsider, the recent situation in Yangguan, you go on." “

Qin Ying: "Cui Yong will definitely join the garrison when he goes this time." “

Ling Xiao was stunned: "Doesn't he have 70,000 horses in his hands?" “

"Yes," Qin Ying smiled helplessly, "Otherwise, Cui Shangshu is so active in preparing and leaving the opportunity for meritorious service to his son?" “

Ling Xiao snorted: "The battlefield is unpredictable, he has an absolute advantage in the strength of his troops, I hope he can make a contribution to come back." “

"Don't say that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes," Yun Xiu said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "He can make meritorious contributions best, if there is a mistake, just your tone, be careful to tell the truth." “

Ling Xiao looked at the two brothers and sisters of the Qin family, "No, they are all their own people." “

"yes, we're not going to talk nonsense." Qin Sasa nodded with great eyesight.

"I didn't mean you," Yun Xiu looked at the people coming and going, and asked in a low voice, "The house has bought another batch of new people?" “

Qin Sasa said: "My mother thinks the yard is too big and unpopular, so she specially added some girls." “

Yun Xiu sighed and stopped talking.

On the way back, she deliberately took a few steps slower, pulling Ling Xiao not close or far behind: "In the future, I will come to the General's Mansion less, and don't talk nonsense when I come, a few mothers-in-law just passed by, and their faces were very raw, I can't tell why, but my intuition is not good." “

Ling Xiao didn't seem surprised, and said in a voice that could be heard by only two people: "Maybe Mrs. Wen did this on purpose, so that the emperor would put his eyes in the mansion, and the clear ones would clear themselves, and General Qin would have military power in his hands, so that it would be safer for the emperor to keep an eye on it." “

Yun Xiu said with affection: "Fortunately, my father-in-law handed over the military power." “

Ling Xiao: "The old man expected it. “
