Wei Bo has been put under martial law.

A burst of firecrackers suddenly came from the courtyard of the Zhu family's mansion. This is an inappropriate harshness, and I don't know how many of the people who heard it scolded in secret. Over the years, an outsider who came to Weibo with Huayin has actually taken root, and it has become half a county and half a city...... Although those who know the background know that this is a relative of the emperor, but what they don't know is just scolding the Zhu family behind their backs for being a powerful woman.

The Zhu family's pasture and cultivated land together are half the size of a county, especially more than 10,000 households, the shops in the city are connected, and the conservative estimate is that there is also half a city, and there are hundreds of private soldiers and knights, and it has become the largest and strongest in Beizhou, and these are justifiable, and no one dares to question it.

And those in the know also know that the Zhu family still has business in other states, and the head of the family is a woman, not only a relative of the emperor, but also in all directions in the officialdom.

Everyone is asking: "I don't know if the Dongxia people will come to attack Weibo, why do they still set off firecrackers?" ”

When the green smoke cleared, the pot-bellied Zhu Chang and the two second housekeepers were still standing in the courtyard and smirking.

A group of maids came out with Zhu Mu in their arms. She called Zhu Chang in the laughter of the warbler: "Eldest son." Let's finish the cannon. Let's take a look at your nephew, there are a few who can return safely from the Northern Plains, and they were sent back by Tao Dashuai. It's all your sister's awesomeness. ”

The east chamber, which closed the door and window, suddenly opened, and Zhu Wenwen, who was admonishing Chen Tianyi, walked out with a predetermined face, followed by Chen Tianyi, who had just returned from the Northern Plains.

As soon as she walked out, she was surrounded by several female guards dressed as samurai, but she stood there and asked coldly, "Who let you fire the cannon?" Crazy or what? ”

Zhu Chang was still stunned.

Zhu's mother walked this way from the side, and said as she walked, "Daughter." This is Tianyi can come back, my mother is happy. Why can't the cannon be released? Can't you put the cannon? ”

Zhu Wenwen has added a bit of mature charm to the corners of his eyes, but his appearance has not diminished at all, but an awe-inspiring coercion has always surrounded his body, whether it is a person in the government or a business peer, it is her younger brother Zhu Chang, who can't say a few words to her, he will think of her huge energy and incredible wisdom, so he stands and shuddersies. But there is only one exception, and that is her mother.

Zhu Wenwen looked around, but he was helpless, so he had to say, "Mother." Come on too. When he returned to the house, Zhu's mother sat down on the chair, and Chen Tianyi stood in front of him, and Zhu Wenwen said softly: "Mother." It's not that Wen is not happy when he sees Tianyi. The city is so chaotic, they all say that the Dongxia people are going to come in, have you forgotten, our family is related to Dongxia, you let Zhu Chang fire the cannon? Are you planning to sue them, do we want the Eastern Xia soldiers to enter the city? ”

Zhu Mu didn't think so much, and opened her mouth to argue: "Who wants to think like this? You are still the emperor's goddaughter, and you have something to do with Dongxia, not the imperial court. Our chief Zhu is not a vegetarian, he has soldiers in his hands, who thinks and chews his tongue, let Zhu Chang take some people to their house tomorrow. ”

She was also anxious, because she didn't think it through, and these words were not so much arguing as cheering herself up.

Zhu Wenwen understood her, and said softly: "It's not so strict." In the future, mothers should not be like their children, doing whatever they want. As soon as I came back one day, before I could ask him about the matter, he sent a message for the Marshal's Mansion, saying that Yang Xuesheng, the former second-class governor of the governor, had come to Weibo by order and had arrived in Weibo, and he invited me to be present at the military meeting tonight. You set off another firecracker, and it's too late for your daughter to shirk it. ”

Zhu Mu said, "Yes." You are a woman, what governor did you show up to see, and he could tell it? ”

Zhu Wen sighed and said: "Tianyi said that they heard that our family was still buying property and wanted me to go, and asked me how to judge that Dongxia would not fight Wei Bo, and wanted to ask me for a word or two." ”

Zhu Mu was furious and said: "Tianyi, why don't you sue them, that's not our family at all, and they did it under our banner...... Wen, you can't drive them away? Why did they stick to us, this three-point hall, will you lend them some money soon, and the people who have planted them too much. ”

Chen Tianyi wanted to express his opinion, but because he was afraid of his mother, he didn't say his opinion directly, and asked in a low voice: "Mother." Are you going? ”

Zhu Wenwen shook his head.

She said, "Tianyi." You go on your behalf. Sue them, your mother's judgment is from the shopkeeper over there in Dongxia. ”

Chen Tianyi said softly: "Mother." That doesn't mean that our family is better than the Thirteen Yamen. Zhu Wen sat upright and said softly, "Silly boy." Why bother to point out. That's enough, isn't it the same as the news from your aunt? Otherwise, how would the mother answer them? Sue them, some of the shopkeepers under the mother are their own, and some are from the third district? Behind the three-point hall is your aunt in the third room? ”

Chen Tianyi's eyes tightened, and he corrected viciously: "She's not my aunt, mother, can you not lie to me, I'm tired enough." The mouth should be strict, the mouth should be strict, and you have to go to school in Dongxia...... Do I look alike with Ah Hu? Do I look like my uncle? You must lie to me, and even to my uncle, why the hell, just to get benefits from him, right? ”

Mother Zhu was furious and scolded: "You bastard, how can you talk to your mother." ”

Zhu Wen didn't move, just looked at Chen Tianyi calmly.

Chen Tianyi hurriedly lowered his head.

All along, he only thought about it in his heart, but he never dared to say it.

Zhu Wenwen said lightly: "You saw your Chen clan again, right?" They were kind to you, and you followed to humiliate your mother, right? ”

She said coldly: "Why are they so good to you, it's so good, because you are my Zhu Wenwen's son, if I stomp my foot, Beizhou will shake it three times." So they keep influencing you, afraid that you will forget to be close to them, so they keep mentioning the past of your father and ancestors, hoping to arouse your family affection, understand? ”

Chen Tianyi hesitated, but still shook his head stubbornly.

Mother Zhu sighed and said, "Will your mother lie to you?" At the risk of falling out with your aunt, to get you a daddy? You're such a bastard. ”

Zhu Wenwen waved his hand and said, "You are such a big person, you must be assertive and discerning." That's all my mother can sue you. ”

Chen Tianyi was silent.

After a while, Zhu Wenwen asked, "Did the marshal take you to the battlefield?" I didn't let you go to war. ”

Chen Tian nodded and said unconvinced: "Take me up, just to take a look, and didn't let me fight." I heard that Ah Hu was leading the troops, and he was only fourteen years old...... But he can lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the commander. It seems that people who have a father are different. ”

Zhu Wenwen understood.

It seems that it is not only the influence of the Chen clan, but also the jealousy of Chen Tianyi.

But she didn't mean to stop it, just gently encouraged, "Child." You can too. They are all sons of a father, as long as you are willing to be motivated, and the conditions allow, you can too. But don't say what you shouldn't say in the future, he's your brother, and you have to rely on your own expression to compare you with him. ”

Chen Tianyi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Then can he see it?" ”

Zhu Wenwen nodded.

She whispered, "Go." Go back to the Marshal's Mansion, attend on behalf of your mother, if you want to ask what you mean, you just want to discuss and have nowhere to start. You just say that your mother is a woman, and she has no idea, so you know that if you don't pick the melons and fruits in the garden in time, they will fall and rot into the ground. ”

Chen Tianyi let out a "hmm".

Zhu Wenwen demanded: "Hurry up." Don't eat at home, you have to win the other eyes of the handsome, although he looks at you differently, he will not cultivate you, because he doesn't like the children of the gatekeeper, but someone will appreciate you and use you, as long as you do well enough. ”

Zhu Mu interrupted and said, "Hey. I asked people to make a banquet ......" Chen Tianyi called "grandma" to stop her from going on, and then saluted goodbye, turned around and left. When I went out, I couldn't help but feel a little lost when I saw my mother stop my grandmother and didn't send him off. However, Zhu Chang and several housekeepers, as well as those servants, rushed to greet him. didn't be able to go out, Zhu Chang saw that he was irritable, so he stuffed him with a silver ticket from under his sleeve, pretended to look elsewhere, and whispered: "Since you have returned to the city, come out of the Marshal's Mansion at night or tomorrow, and find a place to play." ”

Chen Tian smiled, squeezed his eyes and said, "Uncle is still good to me." ”

As soon as Zhu Chang made a gesture, several family members followed.

Chen Tianyi took the horse, took the lead, followed by a few family members, and galloped towards the Dashuai Mansion. When he arrived at the Grand Marshal's Mansion, there was silence from the inside out, and the soldiers were holding torches side by side, but he had a token, and everyone knew him, and he entered without hindrance, and when he was about to reach the main hall, someone stopped him and whispered: "The people who went to Gao Xian's side are back." Qin Cha and Da Shuai are both asking inside, you wait a minute, I'll ask if it's convenient for you to go in. ”

After a while, the man came out and announced, "Go in." The handsome man has always looked at you differently. ”

Chen Tianyi remembered his mother's teachings, and without saying a word, he hung down his sleeves and stuffed some of the money his uncle gave him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as Chen Tian entered, the two columns in the hall accounted for a lot of important civil and military affairs, Tao Kan and an old man in his fifties were sitting in the hall, and there were two or three people standing below, one of whom was speaking, he found that everyone was not distracted from him, so he hurriedly stood at the end of the seat and looked at Yang Xuesheng in the hall with his heart. His interest in the Chinese people is not as great as that of Yang Xuesheng, but the attention of the others is on the few people in front of the hall.

Occasionally, a very high voice sounded before drawing his attention away. He turned his head, and heard a person in front of the hall say: "Gao Xian ignores us and is secondary, I have bought a few important Gao Xian people, and they all said that no matter how much our court opens conditions, it will not be able to open Dongxia, and we can give what Dongxia can give...... Their answers were simply terrifying. ”

Yang Xuesheng asked, "What did they say?" ”

Chen Tianyi was also speculating in his heart, and said in his heart: "Money? Grain? Jingkang is so big, how can it not be able to drive Dongxia? Is it ......?"

He was agitated.

Although he did not admit that he was the son of Dia Bird in front of his mother, it was a different matter in his heart, and he guessed that what Dongxia opened that others could not open must be his merry father, who opened himself to the queen of Gao Xian, which made him sympathize with his mother, and there was an indescribable disgusting and uncomfortable.

However, the man's answer was not like this at all: "Dongxia ceded more than a dozen cities in the southwest of Huangxi to Gao Xian!" ”

There was a bang on the yatang.

Chen Tianyi was also taken aback, feeling that Tao Kan and Yang Xuesheng didn't make a sound, but he hurriedly looked at the stage and found that the two of them seemed to be stunned, sitting like wood carvings.

It took a long time for Taukan to relent, suppress the voices of the crowd, and exclaim, "This is impossible. Ceded Huangxi, what is left of his Eastern Xia? ”

Yang Xuesheng slowly raised a hand, stopped even Tao Kan, and said softly: "Dia Bird? He won...... North Plains? I'm afraid that I won't be able to get it back, and I will gain and lose it. ”

His heart contracted.

Taukan stood up with a "pout", turned his head, and demanded, "Sir." Fight down. You better report to the court. ”

What if you don't fight?

Can he, Yang Xuesheng, decide to return the Northern Plains to Dongxia again?

What about this and what can we do?

Diao's bird has cut more than a dozen cities, isn't this here to fight hard? Is the battlefield still confined to the Northern Plains?

The emperor was still envisaging peace talks, and the war was quickly stopped.

Yang Xuesheng couldn't breathe, his hands were cold, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Isn't the Dongxia envoy also here?" Because I don't know what happened to Gao Xianren, I didn't plan to see him tonight, it seems that I have to see him immediately. I wonder if you want us to take the initiative to return the North Plains? ”

Tao Kan said: "In that case, sir, I should go back to the Northern Plains overnight, arrange the war, you can rest assured, 200,000 people work hard, and I will not let the Northern Plains gain and lose." ”

Suddenly, a tall scribe stepped out.

Chen Tianyi didn't know him.

Until he shouted: "Xiong Xilai, what do you have to say?" ”

Xiong Xilai walked to the center and arched his hand and said, "Dashuai should see the messenger before leaving." I don't believe that the king of Dongxia would do this, and I don't believe that he was willing to cut a dozen cities. I know a little bit about him. ”

Speaking of understanding, Yang Xuesheng thought of someone who knew Dia Bird better, and shouted: "Feng Shanyu?!" ”

A thin, ugly literati walked out.

He didn't clench his fists, and said lightly: "The king of Dongxia will cut more than a dozen cities...... This should be true. If it's not earth-shattering, it's not him. You can't see through it, and I don't want to say more. Just one sentence, extraordinary people dare to do extraordinary things. How dare some people, but only deserve to do the work of spies, to claim to know Diao? ”

Xiong Xilai was taken aback.

He was also ashamed, and as soon as he turned his head, he said, "Brother Shanyu." Why? ”

Feng Shanyu brought Tao Kan and Yang Xuesheng into it again, and said with a smile: "Back then, the Shanggu people poured into Dongxia, and Dongxia itself was short of money and food, so some people judged that he would inevitably be violently expelled and given authority, and as a result, the whole country was relieved. There is also a good saying, chickens are different from ducks, dragons do not live with snakes, and you wait for the pattern, how to know the king's mind. ”

Taukan was furious.

He was about to have a seizure, but Yang Xuesheng stopped him and whispered, "Brother Shanyu." The words are strict. It's not that he dares to do it, what reason does he have to do it? ”

Feng Shanyu smiled and said, "Summoning his envoy, what is the reason, as soon as his envoy speaks, don't you know everything?" Speaking of this, he suddenly took off his pipe hat, bent down and put it on the ground, and whispered: "I don't know how many Li people will be destroyed in the war, I can't bear it, let me resign and return to my hometown." ”

Putting down his hat, he was about to go out, singing in his mouth: "The man left his hometown, and his relatives are unforgettable, and now for more than ten years, his temples are pale." ”

Xiong Xilai knew that he had lived in Dongxia for a long time, so he couldn't bear it, so he grabbed him and whispered, "Don't be willful." ”

Feng Shanyu couldn't break free, so he said: "It's okay, the last curtain call, let's watch it with you." ”

I went to ask for the messenger, and there was silence in the hall.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, he must have begun to worry and fear, Tao Kan knew that this was all brought by Feng Shanyu, so he approached Yang Xuesheng and said, "I really want to kill him." ”

Yang Xuesheng only said softly: "Wait for the messenger." ”

The envoy of Dongxia came, and it turned out to be Zhao Yiru.

He strode in, stood in front of the hall, and said in a loud voice, "What my king owes to your kingdom earlier, let me pay it off this time." From now on, I will no longer be a vassal state in Dongxia......"

Declare war?

Everyone was worried, including Chen Tianyi.

Zhao Yiru said in a changed tone: "My king has issued an edict to explain to the country, and another edict to all the Dongxia people in the Northern Plains, so that they will no longer fight with troops, he can't bear to see the people of the two countries displaced, and is willing to give up personal gains and losses, relieve the military disaster for the common people, and negotiate peace with your country, and wait for all the conditions of my king, that is, peace, if you don't agree, it is unbearable, negotiable, only a war, and the jade is burned." ”
