Hu Shen came to the queen mother's side, and complained slightly in his tone: "Why did my sister let King Changle lead the troops, now that King Changle is in the limelight, his brother-in-law Sun Rong has won again and again on the battlefield, and my brother is afraid that if he goes on like this, he will not be able to control him one day." And that Lin Tianyi is also true, my younger brother remembered that he was my former official of the Hu family, thinking that he could be trusted, and told him not to let King Changle make meritorious service, he was good, give him a head credit. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him coldly: "If you don't let Yuan Rui lead the troops, will you continue to let Hu Dun go into battle, or will you, the head of the military attaché, go out in person?" Before the enemy goes, you just think about infighting, if the country is dead, where will the Hu family come from? ”

Hu Shen's face was flushed by her, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel relieved: "Don't worry, in the end, Sun Rong has no foundation in the court, and being at the top is just a local assassin's history, and he can't turn the sky." Yuan Rui, the mourning family has watched him grow up since he was a child, he is playful, he doesn't like power, and he has nothing to do in the world, even if you let him rob you, people are not happy! ”

Hu Shen nodded again and again: "Yes!" Be! ”

As she was talking, the Queen Mother suddenly felt dizzy, only to feel that the world was spinning, and she sat quietly for a long time before she calmed down.

Hu Shen asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

The Queen Mother stroked her forehead with her hand: "It's no big deal, I've been dizzy and palpitations lately, just rest for a while." ”

So Hu Shen took the opportunity to retire: "Then my brother won't disturb my sister's rest." ”

On the other side, Yuan Rui rushed back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he realized that something was wrong, in other words, Sun Qian had already jumped out to greet him, but today only Chen Bo appeared.

Yuan Rui turned his head and asked, "What about the princess?" ”

Chen Bo explained: "The princess doesn't seem to be in a good mood and is resting in the room. ”

Yuan Rui felt more and more strange, and hurriedly returned to the room, only to see Sun Qian sitting there, her eyes red, obviously crying just now. Seeing Yuan Rui coming in, he barely squeezed out a smile, got up and greeted, "Brother Rui is back?" But won? ”

Yuan Rui nodded: "The crisis has been lifted, and we have driven Xing Feng back to Nanliang!" Then he sat down beside her, stroked the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and said softly, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? ”

Sun Qian's eyes were moist and red again when she heard this: "Earlier today, I came to Beijing as the second brother's envoy to report on the military situation on the front line, and brought me some things by the way. Talking about the second brother's recent situation...... "He stopped here, as if he didn't want to mention the rest of the matter.

Yuan Rui asked tentatively, "The war is unfavorable?" ”

Sun Qian shook her head: "That's not it, the second brother has won the battle, and now he has recovered the entire territory of Yanzhou, and he is using troops against Hengzhou, and it seems that he has killed a rebel leader." ”

Yuan Rui was confused: "Then why are you still so sad?" ”

Sun Qian couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and burst out of her eyes: "Sister Yang, Sister Yang, she is dead!" ”

Yuan Rui was petrified instantly, he couldn't believe his ears, the scene of Yang Lan and Sun Rong's wedding day seemed to happen yesterday so vividly, how could a good person say that it was gone.

Sun Qian sobbed as she recounted the experience of Yang Lan's death that she had heard from the regeneration. Yuan Rui sighed after listening to it, the son of the peaceful world buried his father, and the father buried his son during the turmoil, how small human life seemed in the troubled times.

"Don't be sad, Sister Yang, she has had a rough life, after tomorrow, let's go to Yongning Temple to pray for her blessings, I hope she will have everything smooth in her next life and grow old safely."

Sun Qian nodded with tears: "But Brother Rui, you propose to reform Buddhism, aren't you afraid of retaliation if you go to the temple?" ”

Yuan Rui put his arm around her shoulders and said softly: "I am worthy of doing things, and I am afraid of any revenge." Besides, with Master Jueyuan here, no one dares to mess around! ”

Because of the sadness of Yang Lan's death, Yuan Rui almost had no sleep all night. Before dawn in the morning, I got up and looked at the two "Tiger Roaring Pictures" and "Hundred Lotus Fighting Pictures" on the wall of the guest hall in a daze, and then came to the gate of Miyagi early to wait for the door to open the court.

Above the court, Yuan Rui naturally became the focus of attention, and hundreds of officials accosted him one after another. In just a few months, he cracked the case of Hu Xiude's death, implemented Buddhist reforms, and now led his troops to repel the invading enemy, which had to impress the ministers of this royal son who once only knew how to roam.

With the eunuch's sharp and long chanting, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" Your Majesty has arrived! "It was said that the Queen Mother and Yuan Yao slowly entered the Taiji Hall one after the other. The ministers have long been surprised by this, whenever there is a major event, the queen mother will always lose no time in appearing in the court, and today's protagonist, thinking with his toes, also knows that he must be the victorious Yuan Rui who returns to the court.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother boasted fiercely about Yuan Rui, and finally promoted him to the general of the hussars, and after a month, he led the army north to quell the rebellion, and had the power to control the rebellion army of the imperial court. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she immediately attracted a burst of envy.

The supreme commander of the Great Wei military position is a general, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and always conscripts special secrets. Because the three dukes of the Great Wei Dynasty were only an honorary title most of the time and had no actual power, the generals were actually the common heads of the military and the government in many cases, such as the current Hu Shen, who was in such a position above 10,000 people under one person. The second in line is the hussar general, the general has a lot of opportunities, and rarely actually leads the troops, so the hussar general is often the supreme commander on the battlefield. Further down is the four generals of the east, the south, the west, and the north, and sometimes the generals of the four towns of Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi, and Zhenbei. This is the case with Hu Dun, Lin Tianyi and Yuan Rui in the early days. Next came the various miscellaneous generals, such as Sun Rong's General Long Xiang, and General Huya, who was awarded Duan Jiutian by Southern Liang, all of whom belonged to this rank. At this level, there is no limit to the number of people, what Anyuan, Dangkou, Pingyu, Zhenwei, as long as you want to get it, it is not a problem to seal as many as you want. Further down are the unnamed partial generals and general Pi, such as Tu Hong, who has been restricted by Yuan Rui from fighting in this southern expedition. It is the turn of the captain under all these generals, so although the duties of the captain of the city gate of Hanakodu are very important, the rank is really not high. However, it is worth mentioning that the Yulin Army, as the forbidden army of the Great Wei, directly obeyed the orders of the emperor himself and was not under the jurisdiction of the general. Yuan Rui was suddenly promoted to the second position of the Great Wei military attache at this moment, which made the hundred officials envious and jealous.

The Queen Mother cleared her throat, and after the hundred officials quieted down, she continued: "Lin Tianyi, the general of the southern expedition, volunteered to stay in the south to guard against the Liang army, and the mourning family has already agreed. Then the position of Yulin Supervisor vacated by his departure from Beijing urgently needs a shrewd, capable, loyal and reliable person to take over, and the mourning family wants to listen to the opinions of the listeners about this candidate. ”

After a burst of whispering, Zhou Zhengzhi, the court captain, came out of class: "Empress Dowager, the minister has had a short contact with the city gate captain Huazi, and I feel that he is brave and resourceful, and he is sophisticated. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Yuan Rui: "King Changle and Captain Hua seem to have a good personal relationship, I don't know what you think of Zhou Tingwei's proposal?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Captain Hua has been dedicated to his duties for many years, and he is a strong and brave champion of the three armies, and he dares to guarantee his life, he is definitely qualified for the post of Yulin Supervisor." ”

The disdain on Hu Shen's face flashed, but it still did not escape the eyes of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked around: "Who else has a different opinion?" ”

Dahonglu Wang Min preemptively said: "Captain Hua is brave, but in comparison, the minister thinks that Hu Shouzhong, a free horseman, is more suitable than him......"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Shen hurriedly stood up and said: "No, no, Hu Shouzhong, as the son of a minister, should avoid suspicion."

Yihang lost no time in saying a "fair word": "The general's words are wrong, and the people of the society should be virtuous and not avoid relatives, as far as the minister knows, Hu Shouzhong, a casual cavalry servant, is not only good at riding and shooting, but also is familiar with reading the scriptures since childhood. ”

Zong Zhengyuan Shuofeng also expressed his position "righteous and strict": "Please cherish the talent for the country!" ”

Hu Yuan and Hu Dun came out at the same time: "Please ask the general to cherish his talents for the country!" ”

Hundreds of officials stood up one after another, and the eight characters "Please cherish talents for the country" echoed everywhere in the court, which shook everyone's eardrums. Yuan Rui looked around, there were more than half of the courtiers who supported Hu Shouzhong, he naturally knew what Hu Shouzhong was, and he couldn't compare with Huazi at all, because he was the son of Hu Shen, hundreds of officials rushed to recommend, and the ethics of these people can be seen.

The Queen Mother half-pushed and half-agreed: "Since Hu Shouzhong is expected to return, the mourning family will officially appoint him as the supervisor of Yulin, general, don't worry too much!" ”

When Hu Shen heard this, he "helplessly" knelt down for his son to thank the grace.

Yuan Yao, who had been silent at this time, suddenly spoke: "Empress Qiyu, Erchen has always thought that it is now an eventful autumn in my Great Wei Dynasty, as the forbidden army of the imperial city, the strength of the first army of Yulin is slightly weak, it is better to set up an army of Huben outside of Yulin, and Hanako will be appointed as its commander Huben Zhonglang General, so that the two virtuous advances, isn't it beautiful?" ”
