Once the Ling family loses its military power, the scenery of the Marquis of Zhongyi will be greatly reduced, but there is only an empty title of lord. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Yun Xiu asked, "What is my father-in-law's next step?" We have a good solution. “

"Don't ask," Ling Xiao said, "The old man didn't even tell me, we suffered a big loss, naturally we won't pass easily, we need an opportunity." “

For now, there is only a matter of waiting.

"What are you two rubbing? If it doesn't pass, the first half will be over. Qin Sassa stood a few steps away, crossed his waist and urged, "Don't be me!" Come on! Come on! “

"You're a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, you know a fart." Qin Ying snorted and pulled the person away.

Qin Sasa turned around and shouted while struggling: "You two hurry up!" “

Yun Xiu belched, lifted her skirt, took Ling Xiao's hand, and quickened her pace.

At the meeting, the atmosphere of the two families was happy, and it seemed that the expedition to Yumen Pass had nothing to do with them, and it had nothing to do with them.

The Cui family's carriage passed by the general's mansion as if it was showing off, Cui Shangshu sat in the car, staggered and closed his eyes to recuperate, heard the faint sound of opera, and smiled smug at the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Shen sat next to her, and when she heard it, she snorted softly: "Entertain yourself behind closed doors, I'm afraid I'm uncomfortable." “

"What if it's uncomfortable?" Cui Shangshu closed his eyes and said, "The recommendation of Yong'er is said by Lao Qin's own face saint, and his eyes are red." He wants to recommend Qin Ying, and the emperor will also consider it. “

Mrs. Shen don't say goodbye, "Qin Ying is gone, is there still a chance for our family Yong'er?" How do you say something that will make others want to destroy your own prestige? “

"Qin Ying's ability is above Cui Yong, it's understandable," Cui Shangshu said in his heart, "Otherwise, I won't suppress the two boys of the Ling family and the Qin family, and they will be subject to military orders abroad, and Yong'er will suffer if they follow them." “

"Now I have my wish," Mrs. Shen laughed, "If God helps my family Yong'er, I will return to Beijing with a first credit, and I will not live up to the old man who has a military department." “

Cui Shangshu: "Well, the emperor acquiesced to the Qin family's return to Beijing. Isn't it just to find a substitute for my position, Qin Ying has won the first merit in Yangguan for three years, if Cui Yong doesn't make some achievements, I should be the leader of Lao Tzu in person. “

"I think Yong'er will be victorious," said Mrs. Shen confidently, "70,000 horses will capture two small cities, and it will be a matter of capture." “

Cui Shangshu also felt that it was not a problem, "Let's wait for the good news from our son." “

The wheel made a rattling sound, and drove slowly through the street at the entrance of the military mansion until it disappeared at the end of the corner, and no one noticed that a woman with an unattractive appearance came out of the corner gate, and she stood for a while before entering the house.

The congregation sang all morning. It was already past noon at the end, and the Qin family prepared wine and food early to entertain the guests.

Imperial study in the palace

Wang Fu came to lunch, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the news that the eyeliner has just come out, it is estimated that the two families of Qin Ling are eating at this time." “

Emperor Jing Wen snorted lightly and asked, "Cui Yong set off in the morning, who will send him off?" “

Wang Fu 1510 said: "Cui Shangshu and his family, Gu Shilang, and the family of the deputy general also went, and there were a lot of people." “

Emperor Jingwen asked again: "Didn't the Qin family and the Ling family send anyone?" “

"Nope." Wang Fu shook his head, "Commander Qin is recuperating, Marquis Zhongyi and his family are visiting, and Mrs. Wen also invited the church, and it is said that you can hear the opera in the house when you stand at the gate." “

Emperor Jingwen was speechless.

Wang Fu continued: "But the Cui family's carriage passed by the gate of the General's Mansion, and I don't know what the purpose is. “

Emperor Jing Wen browsed the excerpts and opened his lips slightly: "Did Cui Shangshu get off the car?" “

"No," Wang Fu replied, "as if passing by." “

"Passing by?" Emperor Jingwen raised his head, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's cheap, it's good, and it's obvious to show off." “

Wang Fu said in a loud voice: "The emperor is wise, but the slave is dull, and he can't see anything." “

"Anything else?" Emperor Jingwen asked.

"Then there are some officials who are good friends with the Ling family on weekdays, and they are waiting in line at the gate of Cui's mansion to see Cui Shangshu," Wang Fu smiled, "Your Majesty, these people have become really fast." “

Emperor Jingwen was not surprised, and said slowly: "It is naïve to talk about friends in officialdom, the news of the Ling family's surrender of military power will spread throughout Yanjing in two days, and the future will be even more difficult." “

"The emperor has insight into people's hearts, and the minions are beyond the reach of the dust." Wang Fu patted his ass hard, "In the final analysis, the civil and military officials are also your slaves, you are the master, the master of the world." “

Emperor Jingwen raised his finger peak and signaled to go out.

I will get tired of listening to sycophants.

However, the inseparable contradiction between the Cui family and the Qin family made him very satisfied, especially the Ling family secretly added torches to hand over the military power, this account will naturally not be recorded on the emperor's head, but the Cui family will also be remembered, who makes Cui Shangshu jealous of the power in the hands of others.

In fact, it is now late autumn, and it is not a good time to crusade against Yumen Pass.

Since Concubine Min saw Xie Zongren's skills, she recommended him as a chess piece to King Rui.

King Rui didn't take this weak scholar seriously at first, but Xie Zongren made an analysis with the memory of his previous life, which made the other party have a better view.

He said: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the lower officials think that Cui Yong will go to Yumen Pass at this time, which will do more harm than good. “

King Rui sat behind the desk, looked at him with interest, and sighed: "What's the explanation?" “

Xie Zongren has been to Yangguan, and said logically: "Yumen Pass is west of Yangguan, closer to the border of the Western Regions, the climate there is very different from Yanjing, when Xia Guan went to Yangguan, it was not the coldest time in Yangguan, and he couldn't stand it, the locals said that the coldest time was the snowstorm, and the snow thickness could reach the height of an adult man." “

King Rui understood the meaning of his words, "The so-called sky is not from time to time. “

Xie Zongren: "Yumen Pass is not far from Yangguan, but Xia Guan remembers that in the early years, after the battle between General Qin and several military generals of the hairpin world, there was no war, and the time has passed, and it is unknown how much the landscape and folk customs have changed. “

Rui Wang turned the tea cup in his hand: "It can be described as unfavorable." “

"As for the people," Xie Zongren saluted, "There are half of the recruits on this expedition, and General Cui is also going to Yumen Pass for the first time, the new generals will bring new soldiers, dare to ask His Highness, is it safe?" “

The guards on King Rui's side immediately rose to the top and scolded, "Bold maniac! You dare to question our lord! “

Xie Zongren faced the sharp blade of the sword, he was not afraid that death was a lie, he hid his hand in his sleeve and clenched it into a fist, trying to remain calm: "Your Highness, the lower officials will talk about things, don't dare to question, let alone make mistakes, please also learn from it." “

"Thank you, huh?" King Rui asked the guards to put away their swords, "Sit." “

Someone immediately brought a chair and placed it behind Xie Zongren.

Xie Zongren thanked him, dusted off the folds on his robe, and sat down.

King Rui put away his sharp eyes, and asked with a smile, "How is the tenth princess doing recently?" “

Xie Zongren replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If His Royal Highness King Hui Rui is concerned, the tenth princess has been fine. “

"That's good," King Rui nodded, "treat her well, and there will be benefits in the future." “

Xie Zongren said yes.

King Rui smiled: "I thought that a civil official would only dance and ink, but I didn't expect that there would be a character like you by Concubine Min's side." “

Xie Zongren: "Your Highness praises falsely. “

"If there is any news in the future, you can enter the palace by reporting your name," King Rui rewarded him with a cup of tea, "Of course, if you are an elegant person, this king also welcomes you." “

As he spoke, the subordinate offered a long brocade box with both hands.

King Rui pointed, "The handwritten notes of the calligraphy everyone are left to Xie Juma to enjoy." “

Xie Zongren was stunned, and got up just about to say thanks. King Rui seemed to know what he was going to say, and interrupted: "You don't have to be nervous, things are not given away in vain. “

Before he could finish speaking, the guard's sword was drawn from its scabbard and made a slight choking sound.

Take the reward or die??

Xie Zongren smiled bitterly in his heart, he was assassinated by Concubine Min in his last life, and he still fell into the trap designed by Concubine Min in this life, which is really a deep fate.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, for the reward." He did not hesitate to take the note and bowed.

King Rui was very satisfied with his attitude of judging the situation, "From now on, Xie Yuma is his own family, and there is no need to be formal." “

Own family?? Xie Zongren got up, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he was not a grass on the wall, nor was he obedient if anyone asked him to submit, "Xia Guan is fortunate to have the trust of His Royal Highness, and he has something to ask for." “

Temptation is mutual.

The guard immediately stopped: "If you get the reward, you won't get out!" “

King Rui raised his hand and squinted his eyes, admiring Xie Zongren's courage, "You say." “

Xie Zongren brought up the old matter again: "Xia Guan was chased and killed all the way after coming back from Yangguan, if there was no Zhongyi Hou to help, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the knife, and Xia Guan wanted to seek the truth." “

"You want to know who's behind it?" King Rui asked, "What if this person is a big man you can't afford to mess with?" “

Xie Zongren smiled faintly: "If you are a ghost, you must also be a ghost." “

King Rui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This king will help you this time." “

Xie Zongren actually didn't have a lot of hope, and he didn't need to be reminded by King Rui, he guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes must be a big man who couldn't be shaken, but even the Ling family swallowed his anger, which made him very curious, is it too big behind the scenes, or who is the Ling family protecting?

Who?

The thought flashed, and he suddenly thought of Yun Xiu.

Because of that private distress letter??

And the Ling family is more afraid, because of Yun Xiu, offending the tenth princess.

Xie Zongren sighed silently, he didn't want Yun Xiu to be embarrassed, but the situation was urgent at that time, and the only person who believed in it was Yun Xiu.

After all, more than a month has passed since the last time the two met in the teahouse, and he really wants to meet her in his spare time.

In addition, I don't know what Huanzhi and the tenth princess said. The tenth princess began to have nothing to do again, and she talked about giving birth to a child all day long, as long as Xie Zongren said nothing, it would inevitably evolve into a quarrel, this time without waiting for the princess to catch up, he took precautions and moved to the study to hide and clean.

Yanjing in late autumn was dry and sluggish, and the wind swept the sand and dust on the face, as if it had been rubbed by coarse salt, and it was very uncomfortable.

Xie Zongren didn't like this kind of weather, coupled with the dusk and gloomy sky, which made people inexplicably irritable, he quickly got into the car, not wanting to go back to the princess's mansion, but looking for a teahouse, drinking tea and listening to books, and killing time.

Yun Xiu likes to listen to books, he is not disgusted, in his previous life he rarely accompanied her, because of the desire for profit, he thought that listening to books was purely a plaything, and now he is sitting in the teahouse, enjoying tea, he doesn't feel bad, at least he doesn't have to think about the rights and wrongs of the court.

A book can be said for an hour, listen to two or three sessions, and when I return to the princess's mansion, it is already dark.

"Where have you been, why have you only been back here?"

Xie Zongren didn't expect the tenth princess to block him at the Hanging Flower Gate. Slightly stunned, he explained simply: "There is a bit of a delay." “

"When we first got married, I didn't see you so busy," the tenth princess counted him down, "Now that my body is well, I don't like to go back to home." “

Xie Zongren didn't want to quarrel with her, and if he continued, it was nothing more than not touching her and not having children, did he have an outside heart, did he not want to live it?

In the face of his silence, the tenth princess was even more angry, and as he guessed, she complained: "Do you have an outside heart?" “

Xie Zongren: "No. “

"No, why didn't you move to the study and not come back?" The tenth princess said angrily, "Could it be that you want me to ask three or four times?" “

"Not necessarily."

"You don't have to ask, but you can move back," the tenth princess followed behind, complaining, "you just don't want to touch me." “

Xie Zongren was too lazy to fight: "His Royal Highness said yes." “

"You're on the outside!" The tenth princess suddenly raised her voice, rushed to him with her skirt, and blocked the way, "If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about going back to the study!" “

Xie Zongren stopped and looked at her coldly: "What does Your Highness think?" “

"It's not me, it's what you want?" The tenth princess's gaze fell on the brocade box in his hand, "What is this?" Who sent it? “

Xie Zongren felt that the less she knew, the better, "It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness." “

"You!" The tenth princess grew so big, no one dared to be rude to her, and suddenly smoked, pointed behind her, and said in a sharp voice, "You go!" Get out of the princess's mansion, I don't want to see you again! “

She thought that the other party would soften and coax her like before, but she didn't expect Xie Zongren to look at her and ask someone to send the brocade box to the study, and then stepped out of the hanging flower door without looking back.

Wait for the tenth princess to react and chase out, but there is no one to be seen.

"Huanzhi, did you say that the master of the horse has changed?" The tenth princess sat in the main room, pulled Wanzhi and cried, "I grew up so big, I have never been so good to anyone, he doesn't care at all." “

Wan knew the hint of the eldest aunt, and it was difficult to say it clearly, so he comforted: "Maybe the master is tired, and he didn't mean to be angry with you." “

"He did it on purpose," the tenth princess said sensitively, "how dare he speak disrespectfully before, do you hear what he says now?" Say it has nothing to do with me? I told him to leave, but he did. “

"Your Royal Highness, you and the master are both angry, someone has to give way." Huan Zhi can only persuade, "Master Ma go, I don't want to quarrel with you." “

The tenth princess shook her head vigorously: "No, you reminded him right before, he just has a problem." “

After a pause, she looked at Huan Zhi, "You go and check, see where he stays tonight, if you can't find a random woman, know what to do." “

Wan Zhi answered, and withdrew.

Yanjing is so big, it is not difficult to find Xie Zongren, he first went to the bathhouse to take a bath, then went to the opera garden to listen to the half-time play, came out and went straight to the inn, asking for a room.

After telling the tenth princess about the whereabouts of the concubine, he asked her if she wanted to send someone to invite her.

The tenth princess gambled, said no, felt a lot more relaxed, didn't go to find another woman, it was quite a rule.

Huan Zhi was afraid that the two would have a disagreement, so he secretly asked someone to send a few changes of clothes to Xie Zongren, and persuaded him not to leave.

When the matter reached the ears of Concubine Min, she was cold to the behavior of the concubine: "I really thought that I would sit firmly in the position of the concubine and start to take Qiao." “

The eldest aunt whispered: "Niangniang, I heard that the adult appreciates the master of the horse very much, and intends to win him over. “

Concubine Min sneered: "I have a backer." “

The eldest aunt pursed her lower lip and did not speak.

"It's done, since he was photographed, he can be regarded as capable," Concubine Min touched Jingba in her arms and said indifferently, "When the big things over there are done, it's not too late to abolish this chess." “

The eldest aunt should say yes.

At the same time, Xie Zongren lived alone in the inn, entering and exiting alone, and had a lot of freedom of movement, he really wanted Yun Xiu, looking for a shop guy to run errands, Yun Xiu heard that someone was looking for him, and he didn't see anyone when he came out of the Hanging Flower Gate, thinking that the person who came was the Qin family and didn't dare to show up, so he went to the corner gate, looked left and right, and didn't find anything abnormal.

No matter how much the doorkeeper is, they all say that they don't know the messenger.

Maybe admit the wrong door, after all, the corner door is still some way from the front, and I have touched the foolish egg to deliver the wrong dish before.

Yun Xiu didn't take it seriously, turned around and entered the house, not noticing that there was a carriage parked diagonally across the street, and the person sitting inside had just lowered the curtain and sighed and said let's go.

Xie Zongren was full of bitterness, he didn't cherish it in the past, but now he can only sneak a look.

Then the cold war between him and the tenth princess lasted from late autumn to early winter, except for the official uniforms, the thick cotton clothes to keep out the cold were all in the princess's mansion.

The tenth princess asked Huan Zhi to ask him to go back, but he didn't expect to eat the closed-door soup.

"I know, is the master of the horse really angry?" She felt flustered, "But you want me to go, I don't want to, I'm a princess, he's a colt, shouldn't he come to coax me?" “

Huanzhi knows it, but he can't make it clear, "Or, do you find a middleman to persuade you?" “

"Looking for whom?" The ten princesses are like grasping a life-saving straw.

Huan Zhi said very vaguely: "The slave maid heard that Xie Yuma had taken refuge in Yangzhou and befriended the people of Yunfu, why don't you look for the Yun family?" “

"Yun family?" The tenth princess hadn't reacted yet, "Do you want to send someone to Yangzhou?" It takes ten days and half a month to come and go, and I don't want to wait. “

Huan Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, "Your Royal Highness, there is a Yun family in Yanjing, why do you want to go far and near?" “

The tenth princess thought about it, and the Yun family in her impression was Yun Xiu, "You said Mrs. Yun of the Ling family?" “

Huan Zhi thought that he understood, "The meaning of the slave and maid, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, maybe it will be useful to try." “

The tenth princess felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it, and she was thinking about how to invite the horse master back.

Of course, she won't go to ask Yun Xiu for help in person, and Huanzhi will come forward.

"Aunt Huanzhi, aren't you embarrassed for me?" Yun Xiu invited her to eat tea in the flower hall, revealing a difficult expression, "In the past, Xie Juma was a guest of Yunfu, so naturally I couldn't slack off, but now I have a different identity, let the little marquis know that I see other men." I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper. “

"I'd rather demolish ten temples than one marriage," Huan Zhi said, "Grandma can't bear to watch the princess and the concubine husband and wife not get along?" “

"Aunt Huanzhi, I naturally hope that the princess will be the princess and Ming," Yun Xiu sighed, "But??"

She repeatedly refused, but she was uneasy in her heart, was her secret broken by someone?

It shouldn't be, except for the master and Xie Zongren, it's Ling Xiao.

These three people, the master is a Buddhist family, needless to say, in order to protect her, Ling Xiao even swallowed his anger and killed her, and he definitely would not talk nonsense. As for Xie Zongren, isn't exposing her tantamount to exposing himself?

He's not stupid.

Yun Xiu was entertaining on his face, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he thought weakly about whether his whereabouts to Yangguan were discovered, or whether the tenth princess discovered other hidden secrets, such as Yangzhou Xie Zongren once showed his heart by any means, or after coming to Yanjing, the two went to the teahouse more than once to make an appointment.

If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do.

She rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and listened to Huan Zhi spare no effort to ask her for help, "Grandma, the slave maid never thought that Xie Ma looked polite, but he was a tough one, the princess couldn't let go of her body, and the master didn't mean to come back." The slave has come to beg you. “

"I know," Yun Xiu could see that she didn't agree, and Huan Zhi wouldn't leave, "It's inconvenient for me to come forward, ask someone in the house to pass a word, if it doesn't work out, I don't dare to pack the ticket." “

Huan Zhi didn't want to offend the Ling family because of a small loss, so he nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to come forward." “

Chunliu has been waiting for him, sending the guest back, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you really going to wade into troubled water?" “

"I'm going, does the little marquis know how to feel?" Yun Xiu shook his head helplessly, "You go and say good things, you don't need me to teach you." “

Chunliu was smart, "Grandma don't worry, the slave knows what to say." “

Yun Xiu: "You can go later, if you can't see anyone, you will ask the innkeeper to take the talk, you don't have to stay." “

Harunliu was ordered to withdraw.

She was lucky, when she saw Xie Zongren at the inn, she was about to pour out after thinking about it, so she heard the other party say first: "Since Yun Xiu wants you to come, if you have anything to say, I want her to say it herself." “

Then, Chunliu also ate the closed door.

She went back and told Yun Xiu about the encounter 1510, for the sake of "Grandma, should we still go?" “

"I'm not going." Yun Xiu sorted out the winter clothes of his two sons, "Little Hou Ye hates Ma Ye so much, it's not that you can't see it, I don't want to eat his hangings for other people." “

Chunliu covered her mouth and smiled: "Our grandmother only pretends to be a little Hou Ye in her heart, she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, Xiao Hou Ye is long, Xiao Hou Ye is short, the slave maid didn't see you afraid of eating and hanging, but Hou Ye is afraid of eating your hanging, and he is not afraid of a star." “

"Diao Nu," Yun Xiu was ashamed and annoyed, "be careful to be heard by the Hou Ye, slap your mouth." “

Chunliu grinned and looked at the time to get out of the house. lest Ling Xiao come back and think she was an eyesore.

In short, she ignored the matter of the tenth princess and Xie Zongren, and Huan Zhi never came to her again.

In the past few days, Ling Xiao had a rare rest, and wanted to go to Baoyuan with Yun Xiu to listen to the play, and slept until three poles in the morning, and touched the empty bed.

He got up and washed, and saw that Chunliu was not there, so he asked the next grandmother where she was, and the next person said that the tenth princess visited and drank tea with the grandmother in the flower hall.

When Ling Xiao heard that the tenth princess was coming, it was not easy to drive people away, and he was idle and had nothing to do, so he went to the flower hall to listen to the roots of the wall. I heard the tenth princess crying and whimpering in the house, and Yun Xiu had to agree to help.

Yun Xiu was very embarrassed: "Your Royal Highness, the woman sent someone to pass the word, how can it be good if the master doesn't listen?" “

"Do you have to go in person?" The tenth princess didn't hide it, "I heard that when I was in Yangzhou, the concubine and the Yun family were on good terms, and the Yun family also helped him. “

Yun Xiu knew that the royal family affairs would not be finished if they did not check the people, "Ten princesses, don't get me wrong, Yangzhou is the old lady of my family, and I am innocent with the concubine." “

"I am a dead horse and a live horse doctor," the tenth princess cried, "if you go in person, you can't do it, I accept my fate, it's a big deal to reconcile and leave." “

Yun Xiu thought, she didn't go, the tenth princess took the initiative to leave, and Xie Zongren was in the arms, and quickly changed her words, "No, no, no, don't be impulsive, Your Highness, I'll go, I'll accompany you to the inn now." “

The tenth princess immediately stopped crying, and the two of them walked out of the flower hall.

When he arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, Chunliu saw Ling Xiao riding on horseback, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Grandma, Master Hou is also outside." “
