After talking to him for a while, Yun Xi got up and took his leave. Geng Bingwen didn't dare to keep the guest, so he could only stand up and send him out of the house. Yun Xi smiled: "No need, although Aiqing's body is still tough, she must also pay attention to the cold, and she doesn't have to be sent out." Just let Geng Xuan deliver it. ”

Geng Bingwen was not hypocritical, he stayed in the house after one shirk, and asked his eldest son Geng Xuan to send the emperor out of the house instead of him. Geng Xuan agreed, and walked with his younger brothers to the outside of the mansion with Yun Xi.

"Geng Xuan, you are now the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and you are very organized to take care of this mansion for me, which has saved me a lot of heart." As he walked, Yoon-hee asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are just acting according to the rules in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army." Geng Xuan said modestly.

"It's not easy to do things according to the rules." Yun Xi sighed and said. Geng Xuan stood aside and didn't talk.

Yun Xi didn't intend to say more about this with him, and said: "Since I came to the throne, you have been running errands in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, although the errand is good, I can't leave you, but if you keep doing such an errand, your name will not be on the history books in the future." Since ancient times, the generals who command soldiers to fight wars have great reputations, such as Wei Huo and Er Li, everyone knows and everyone knows, but who knows who is in charge of the Taiwei Mansion or the Twelve Guards when they lead the troops to fight? ”

"You are a member of my domain, how can I not take care of you! So I'm determined to send you to the northwest next year, would you like to? ”

"The minister will never be dishonored!" Geng Xuan immediately said loudly. The younger brothers behind him were also very happy to hear this.

Geng Xuan had long wanted to lead the troops to the battle, not only for his future name in the history books, but also for practical considerations.

Although the yamen in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is also considered to be a high authority, the most intuitive place for military generals to show their abilities is still the battlefield, and only by making meritorious deeds on the battlefield can they have a prestigious reputation and be convincing; If there is no military exploits, it will not be able to sit firmly in the governor's mansion of the five armies. He had already met many generals who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, perhaps because of his delusion, he always felt that these people had a slight contempt for him.

And not only him, but several of his younger brothers, although they had served in the local area, did not lead troops to the war. If this continues, their family may fall.

So he always wanted to lead his troops into battle. But Yun Xi didn't let him go out to fight for some reason, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for it, and he has been stumbling until now. Fortunately, the emperor finally remembered him. 'I must perform well in this battle, make meritorious achievements, and let the emperor know that I still have some skills. He thought.

Okay, then I'll wait for Aiqing's good news. Yun Xi smiled.

Yun Xi encouraged Geng Xuan a few more words, got up and got into the carriage, and went to the next mansion.

The next mansion to go to is the Hou Mansion of Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen. Zhu Yuanzhang was successively crowned in the third year of Hongwu, the twelfth year of Hongwu, the seventeenth year of Hongwu and the twentieth year of Hongwu.

Going to Cao Zhen's mansion doesn't have so much to do. Cao Zhen's eldest son commanded the two guards of the upper guard, and the second son, Princess Shang, is now serving as a chief soldier in Taiwan Town, both of which are very trusted errands, and he has no extra pursuits, and he can retire at home with peace of mind.

After going around and going to a few more houses, and after visiting all the surviving veterans, Yun Xi ordered the carriage to drive to the Liang State Mansion. Although Lan Yu was made a duke very late, he was crowned Marquis of Yongchang very early, so the location of the mansion was very good, and there was still some time from the mansion of the last veteran he visited.

Taking advantage of this time, Yun Xi sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and pondered. 'This time to go to the northwest, do you want Li Xuhu and others to go to the front line to fight? After all, they are the people of my domain, and if they are always tied up in the capital, not only will their reputation not be good, but my reputation will also be hindered. But will they be able to fight the battle well? ’

Geng Xuan and Li Xuhu were both ministers of the East Palace when he was still the emperor's grandson, and they had different feelings, so it was impossible to say that they had not been reused; But he had always been very suspicious of their quality, so he inadvertently ignored the two of them in the battle for Annam.

But recently, he heard Qin Song's report, and there were many people talking about this matter, and he was shocked to realize that there were still two former ministers of the East Palace in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies who had never fought a war, and it was not good to let it go like this, so he could only think about arranging a war for them. But he hesitated because he doubted the level of the two of them fighting.

After thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind: "Let's arrange for the deputy general of the Fifth Army to be his deputy." It's also a battle out of the house. ’

Yun Xi's expression, which had been decided, returned to normal, and at this time, a voice came from outside the car: "Official, there are two miles to the Mansion of Liang Guo." He lowered his head to look at Siqi, and saw her looking at him with her little head held high.

"What? Uncle has flowers on his face? Yun Xi smiled.

Siqi shook his head and just said, "Although the emperor is the richest person in the world, he is also the busiest person. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Siqi went back to live in the uncle's mansion in the past, although the uncle was also very busy, but every time he was off the day, he was in the mansion and had nothing to do; But my uncle is very busy even if he has a day off, and on such a festive day as the New Year, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are resting, and the uncle only sometimes invites friends to drink, and he is not as busy as his uncle. And ,......" Siqi said with his hands on his cheeks, leaning on Yun Xi's legs.

Yun Xixin said that you haven't seen the appearance of the emperor's grandfather when he was working, so he is busy, and he is far from him. But what she said is also true, there is probably no official in the world who is busier than him.

Of course? Daming is basically his now, even if it is counted as a joint-stock company, he has the most shares, and it is impossible to co-own here and run his own sole proprietorship business, of course, he can only do his best to plan for Daming.

Yun Xi didn't want to explain these things to Siqi clearly, but when she looked down and saw her bright eyes, she pondered that ancient people were basically more mature than modern children, and Siqi's life experience was unusual and more important, so she said: "This is natural. ”

"Compared with the store, Daming's store belongs to the uncle's family, the uncle is the owner, and the ministers are just guys, of course they will not do their best better than the owner."

As soon as he said this, Siqi understood, and said with a smile: "Sure enough." But who is the shopkeeper of the store? ”

"This, although my uncle compares it to a store, of course the imperial court is different from a store, and there is no shopkeeper." Yun Xi hesitated for a moment and said.

He was very reluctant to answer the question related to this, and without waiting for Siqi to speak again, he said: "Siqi, you just said 'go back to live in the uncle's mansion in the past', which is not appropriate. ”

"You haven't married yet, the Liang Guogong Mansion is your home, so this is your mansion, you can't say that you go back to the uncle's mansion."

"What's the matter, uncle, don't think about it?" Siqi suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, Siqi has always regarded his uncle's palace as his home, and now he is telling Siqi that the Liangguo Mansion is home, do you want to send Siqi back to the Liangguo Mansion?" What did Siqi do to upset his uncle? Or did it upset my aunt? ”

"Oops, that's what I said!" Yun Xi has always had nothing to do with the little girl, whether it is her daughter's adopted daughter or her younger sister, she was a little flustered when she heard this: "Uncle didn't mean that, it's just that Lan Zhen is your uncle after all, and you are also his niece, a family, and you are not married now, so his family is your family." Uncle has no intention of letting you go back to the Liang State Mansion. ”

Yun Xi comforted her repeatedly, and the car had stopped dozens of feet away from the gate of the Duke of Liang's mansion, and she still comforted Siqi, so she came to her senses and said, "Uncle promised Siqi that he would never send Siqi out of the palace. ”

"This, you definitely won't be when you are a child, but when you grow up, you can't always stay in the palace." Yun Xi hesitated for a moment and said.

"I don't care, I'm going to live in the palace forever."

Seeing that Siqi was about to cry again, Yun Xi hurriedly said: "Okay, as long as you are willing to be in the palace, you can always be in the palace." ”

Siqi burst into tears and laughed. Yun Xi wiped her face very frizzily before letting her get out of the car and return to the Liang State Mansion accompanied by the palace maid and eunuch.

Seeing from a distance that the subordinates of the Liang Guogong Mansion surrounded her into the palace, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to order the carriage to return to the palace.

But at this moment, Song Qingshu suddenly came over and whispered in Yun Xi's ear: "Your Majesty, the carriage over there belongs to the Marquis of Puding." ”

"Puding Marquis Chen Huan? What did he come to Lan Zhen for? Yun Xi lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage thinking. It is said that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is very common for military generals to visit each other, and it is not worth noting. But Chen Huan is a generation of military generals, Hongwu was hereditary Marquis Puding in the seventeenth year, although it is impossible for Chen Huan to visit - Yunxi saw him when he went to the Marquis of Puding Mansion just now, but the eldest son is not there, and it is his eldest son who came to visit Lan Zhen - but the two of them have no kinship and are not familiar with each other in the past, how could they send someone to visit so early?

"Let's wait until we go back to the palace to check." Yun Xi, who couldn't think of anything like this, said to himself.
