Several servants of the Yan family sent the attendant Yahuan Yingyue to Huang Pugong's house, and they didn't say much, urging Yueyue to get off the sedan chair, and the housekeeper brought the deed of sale and the middleman that had been written, and asked Huang Pugong to press his handprint, and arched his hand: "Yingyue will be General Huang's person from today on." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Huang Pugong was inexplicable, without waiting for him to ask, the servants of the Yan family had already left with an empty sedan chair, they all knew Huang Pugong, and they knew each other very well, they used to drink and chat together, but now they were like strangers, their faces were cold, as if they had come to pay off gambling debts, they were unwilling and unwilling, but they didn't dare to gamble anymore.

Invite Yue is also inexplicable, she stays honest at home, thinking that there is nothing wrong with her words and deeds, but after the master came back, she had a gloomy face, looked at her a few times, gritted her teeth and spit out a few words: "As you wish." ”

Ying Yue didn't even pack up her things, she was stuffed into a sedan chair and changed to another owner.

She has long been used to selling and selling, and she doesn't particularly care, but she is a little embarrassed after seeing Huang Pugong, when she gave a few taels of silver, she never expected that there would be this day.

When Huang Pugong first came back from Yunmengze, he had visited the old master, firstly, to thank the Yan family for their protection and help, and secondly, he hoped to redeem himself for Invite Yue, but he was flatly refused, so he didn't understand why Yan Pengshi suddenly changed his mind.

The two stood in the courtyard, inviting Yue to be embarrassed, and Huang Pugong was even more embarrassed.

Huang Pugong lived in the mansion given by the imperial court, he had been a servant for ten years, and he was not used to being served, and he was about to go on an expedition, so although the mansion was large, there were very few slaves in the family, only ten people, and they were all given by the imperial court together with the first house.

"Invite the moon girl......" Huang Pugong wanted to invite her into the house to rest, but he felt that it was inappropriate, picked up the deed of sale in his hand, and tore it to pieces, "You don't have to be a maid anymore, do you still have a family?" ”

Ying Yue shook her head, but as long as she had a family to rely on, she would not be adrift over the years.

Huang Pugong is a general, no matter how many enemies he faces, he dares to fight, he can fight, he is full of scheming, he never miscalculates, but he is a little overwhelmed in the face of a weak woman, but he is a hero, he is neat and refreshing, he thought about it for a while, and said: "You just live here, as your own home, things as you like, servants as you call, wait for me to come back, and then find a place for you." ”

"Yes, I'll wait for the general to come back." Ying Yue said softly.

Huang Pugong felt that Yingyue might have a misunderstanding, but the other party didn't make it clear, and he didn't have anything to say, so he called all the servants and asked them to serve Miss Yingyue well, and then packed up their clothes and armor, and moved to the barracks in advance.

Early the next morning, the emperor personally went out of the city to send off, after sacrificing the Chiyou banner, Huang Pugong led an army of 1,000 to set off, there was already a naval army of thousands of people in the East China Sea, Huang Pugong got not many troops, and there were only more than 20 warships, but his task was relatively simple, not to seek a big victory, not to annihilate the enemy, just to maintain the offensive against the pirates.

Huang Pugong also did not make any explicit promises, he wrote a lot of naval warfare techniques in the Pingdong Sea Strategy, but he deliberately emphasized that naval warfare has more variables than land warfare, and it is extremely difficult to prepare in advance, so he can only adapt to the situation on the spot.

The two of them didn't have a chance to talk alone, Huang Pugong wouldn't talk too much, Han Ruzi didn't know anything about Yan Pengshi's gift, and he hadn't even heard of the name "Invite Yue".

A few days ago, he sent Cui Teng to the young military camp to deliver a letter, only saying that he would observe the relationship between Huang Pugong and the old master by the way, but he didn't say that he wanted Cui Teng to be nosy.

After Cui Teng came back from the young military camp, he said with great certainty: "No problem, Master Yan Peng is very smart and knows the rules, there is no complaint, and General Huang is even more fine." ”

Han Ruzi believed it, after all, this was just a trivial matter between the courtiers, as the emperor, he couldn't directly participate, and there was no need to interfere too much, Yang Feng said before that dealing with interpersonal relationships is one of the abilities in itself, and if the emperor wants to reuse Huang Pugong in the future, he has to let him pass this level by himself.

Han Ruzi has been in a better mood recently, the battle of Yunmengze ended early, the appointment of Zai was smoother than he expected, the battle of the East China Sea was carried out in an orderly manner, the Xiongnu in the north have not made a big move, and the two pregnant concubines are in good health...... Everything is moving in a good direction.

Now he has only a few small things to deal with.

One is Yang Feng, he has been stranded in Yunmengze for more than two months, and has not found the whereabouts of "Chun Yuxiao", according to the confession of the Holy Military Division, Yang Feng obviously believes that the writer is still alive, but in his letter to the emperor, it is written in vague language, only saying that the goal is getting closer and closer, and the Taizu Sword and the King of England can be recovered, in order to prevent leakage, it is not appropriate to talk about Yunyun in detail.

Han Ruzi had a feeling that Yang Feng didn't seem to want to return to Beijing, so Han Ruzi sent Chao Whale to Yunmengze, hoping to find out the reason.

The other is his own mother.

How did the Empress Dowager Cining interfere in court politics recently, but as the bellies of the two concubines got bigger and bigger, she became more and more concerned about the emperor's harem, and every time they met, she urged the emperor to spoil the concubines more, "What if the two are daughters?" Your Majesty still has to work hard, this is not a private matter of Your Majesty alone, but a major matter related to the peace of the world. ”

This makes Han Ruzi feel embarrassed every time, but he can accept it, so he doesn't plan to find out.

The person who took the initiative to find out was the Empress Dowager Cining.

On the evening of Huang Pugong's expedition, Han Ruzi went to greet the two queen mothers as usual, and the Empress Dowager Cining called her son to her bedroom.

"Your Majesty hasn't been busy lately, has he?"

"Fortunately, it's a lot easier than a while ago." Han Ruzi replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty has a good eye, Zhuo Ruhe is a qualified prime minister."

"It's the first emperor's vision that is good, but I can't sit back and enjoy it." Han Ruzi observed for a few days, and was indeed very satisfied with Zhuo Ruhe, and finally let the prime minister preside over the government, while he concentrated on thinking about some more distant things, such as the Huns, such as the sudden rise of forces in the extreme west.

Since a group of envoys came, there was no news from the west, and Han Xi, the envoy of Great Chu, sent back a few official documents, and now he has not left the territory of the Western Regions.

Empress Dowager Cining smiled slightly, her son was more able to speak than before, which made her very happy, "There is really that kind of loser, the benefits sent to the hands can be handed over, and Your Majesty can 'sit back and enjoy the success', which is also a skill." ”

"The Queen Mother has won the award."

The mother and son were too polite, and the Empress Dowager Cining changed her words and said "unceremoniously": "Your Majesty has spent the night in Qiuxin Palace for the past three days, right?" ”

Mother wanted to talk about it again, but Han Ruzi couldn't, so she replied, "Yes." ”

The Empress Dowager Cining sighed, but this time she did not directly ask the emperor to "work hard", "Your Majesty still remembers what happened when you were a child?" ”

"Remember some, I don't know which one the Queen Mother is referring to?"

"At that time, our mother and son had little contact with the outside, and I explained to Your Majesty the names of various relatives, and Your Majesty loved to listen to them very much, and I pinched a lot of little clay figurines, and treated them as brothers, sisters, uncles, and uncles, and played with them."

Han Ruzi smiled: "Really? I don't remember any of these things. ”

"There is a little clay figurine, Your Majesty likes it the most, and every day he holds it in his hand, calling him 'old uncle', saying that he will take you out to play one day. I've always wondered, I never taught you this title, where did you learn it? Speaking of the past, the Empress Dowager Cining was full of smiles.

Han Ruzi thought for a while, and some vague pictures appeared in his mind, "I'm a little impressed?" What about the clay figurines? ”

"One time it was raining, and you forgot to take it back to the house, and the clay figurines were all doused with mud, and you cried for days, and then you forgot about them."

"I remember crying with my hands full of mud, but I forgot why." Han Ruzi had more memories and said with a smile: "Life was really lonely at that time. ”

"Yes, so after Your Majesty has a child, he must not be allowed to live that kind of life again."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "Mother doesn't need to say much, I understand, I ...... Will try. ”

The son agreed very reluctantly, the Empress Dowager Cining knew that this was just perfunctory, but today she wanted a clear promise, "I won't talk about the harem today, Your Majesty said that the draft will be held in three years, it's okay, Your Majesty loves the queen, and you don't want to have too much sex with other concubines, it's okay, this kind of thing can't be rushed, Your Majesty is also an adult, you know the severity, you don't need me to say more." ”

Han Ruzi was a little surprised, "Thank you Queen Mother for your understanding." ”

"But Your Majesty's relatives are not only surnamed Han, does Your Majesty remember?"

Mother rarely mentioned her uncle's family, and Han Ruzi couldn't help but be stunned, "It's good that the Queen Mother has something to say, is there anything missing in my grandfather's house?" ”

"There is no shortage of anything else, only one official."

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "The queen mother herself said that my uncle's family is all rural farmers, and they can't be officials, so let the children study more and wait for ten years to shine on the lintel." ”

Empress Dowager Cining nodded, "I did say such things, but I changed my mind, because I found that the officials of the imperial court are not all so difficult to do, other people's families do it, and the Wang family also does it." Your Majesty doesn't need to give the Wang family a powerful official, it's always okay to have a false title, right? ”

Han Ruzi didn't care about a few false titles, he was puzzled by his mother's words, "How did the Queen Mother find out that it was not difficult for the officials of the imperial court to do?" ”

Empress Dowager Cining was silent for a while, "It's clear that the prime minister has recently adjusted a lot of officials, and several major families in the imperial court have benefited, but the Wang family is still the landlord, not necessarily His Majesty's uncles are village farmers, and the children of the family are all outstanding, right?" ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "The adjustment of the prime minister's officials was approved by me in advance, but I was negligent for a while, forgetting my uncle's family, the Queen Mother, please rest assured, within three days, there will be good news." ”

Empress Dowager Cining sighed, "I originally thought that I wouldn't care too much about my family, but after meeting, I still feel that my family is the closest and most credible. ”

"The Queen Mother is my mother, and the Queen Mother's request is my request, and there is no such thing as 'seeking an official'."

Han Ruzi retired, puzzled by two things:

First, Zhuo Ruhe tended to be from a family when he adjusted officials, why didn't he notice it a long time ago? He lied in front of his mother, Zhuo Ruhe did say that a group of officials would be appointed, and Han Ruzi thought that he was going to promote a group of people who were also close ministers of Emperor Huan, but after listening to his mother's reminder, he noticed that it didn't seem to be the case.

The second is why did my mother suddenly say that "the family is credible at a critical moment", my uncle's family is very honest, and they have no power in their hands, what can they rely on?

Han Ruzi is not only the son of the Empress Dowager Cining, but also the emperor, he wants to find out the truth, not ask directly. (To be continued.) )
