Inside and outside the Hou Mansion, preparing for the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Feng handed over all the big and small affairs to Fu Cheng and He Yi, and hid in the house to meditate.

There are many things to think about, there is a past and a future, Yang Feng is more willing to think about the future.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, "Come in." Yang Feng said that he was a little grateful for this interference, and if he thought about it again, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

A maid in the backyard entered the house, and Yang Feng recognized her as one of the palace maids who voluntarily left the palace, but he couldn't remember her name.

The maid stopped at the door and saluted, "Madame asked Chief Yang if he was free, and Madame wanted to see Chief Yang side." ”

Yang Feng was surprised and couldn't think of a reason to refuse, "Uh...... When you have time, please wait a moment, Madame, I'll go over right away......"

"Madame is right outside the door."

Yang Feng hurriedly got up and came to the door, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Tired Hou standing outside the door.

"Madame sent a maid to pass me on, why bother to come in person?"

Cui Xiaojun smiled, "I also want to come out for a walk, the Hou Mansion is so big, I still have many places I haven't been to." ”

Of course, the Tired Hou Mansion does not occupy a vast area of Cui's Mansion, but in the Cui family, she is a young lady, and the living area only occupies a small area, and in the Tired Hou Mansion, she is the hostess and owns every piece of land here.

Yang Feng invited his wife in, his expression was slightly embarrassed, the tired marquis was not very old, and the lady was even younger, so that the old and sophisticated Yang Feng did not know how to receive him.

"Tired Hou is out again?" Cui Xiaojun asked.

"Tired of going out to buy New Year's goods." Yang Feng replied.

"He's been out a lot lately, and every time he comes back with a lot of shopping, sometimes I just say it casually. He had to search all the city. Cui Xiaojun glanced at the room. Tired Hou is really confused. Everything I bought was sent to the back house, and I didn't think about anyone else. Guilan, you go and get a copy of the tea, fruits, cloth, etc. that the tired Hou bought. ”

Without waiting for Yang Feng to excuse herself, the maid had already been ordered to leave.

Yang Feng's room was not big, and the furnishings were extremely simple, Cui Xiaojun walked around casually, turned around and asked, "I heard that Chief Yang is leaving the Hou Mansion?" ”

The news had already spread, and Yang Feng had nothing to hide. "Yes, I will go to serve in the Northern Army after the end of the first month."

"Congratulations to General Manager Yang, although the history of the Northern Army is not a prominent position, he will have a bright future in the future."

"I am a eunuch, and joining the army as an official is an exception, and I will not have a greater future."

"Then why does Chief Yang abandon Hou and leave?" In an instant, Cui Xiaojun revealed her true form, no longer an elegant tired lady, but a disgruntled little girl.

The embarrassed feeling in Yang Feng's heart finally disappeared, and he smiled, "Because I don't have anything to do here." ”

Cui Xiaojun noticed his gaffe. I wanted to put it back to what I was just now, but I couldn't do it, and my cheeks couldn't help but turn red. lowered his head and whispered: "The tired marquis admires Yang Gong very much and regards Yang Gong as a teacher...... Did you leave him because of disappointment? ”

"Disappointed? Why did Madame say this? ”

"After leaving the palace, the tired marquis didn't do anything, just practiced martial arts, often went out to wander, and bought back some useless things, but I don't blame him, it's all my ......"

Yang Feng bowed to his wife, "Madame is too worried, I went to serve in the Northern Army in the hope of bringing more help to the Tired Hou, and the Northern Army Commander Shi is more helpful than the head of the Hou Mansion." ”

"I see, it's all my fault for being cranky, please don't mind Yang Gong."

"Madame, I'm only happy, how can I mind?"

Cui Xiaojun's face turned even redder, he bit his lip and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "What can I do to help Tihou?" ”

"Hmm...... I'm ...... housekeeper."

"No, no, it's not a housekeeper, it's real help."

"I don't understand what Madame means." Yang Feng actually understood, but didn't want to admit it.

"Tired of him...... should be the emperor, and Da Chu also needs such an emperor, doesn't it? Cui Xiaojun plucked up the courage to say.

"Does Madame know that such a thing is a great rebellion?"

"Even if I am beheaded, I have to say this, I understand the Queen Mother, she doesn't want to elect a qualified emperor at all, she just wants an obedient puppet, but her wish comes true, and Da Chu is finished. The ministers just want to keep the power they already have in their hands, but they don't really care who the emperor in the palace is, and the only enemy of the tired marquis is the queen mother......"

Yang Feng walked to the door and glanced out, his room was relatively remote, there was no one outside, he turned around and said, "Madame, do you want to be the queen again?" ”

Cui Xiaojun was stunned, "I don't care if I'm not the queen, I'm just ......"

"Then please don't say this kind of thing again in the future, as far as I know, the tired marquis is satisfied with the current life, which is why I am relieved to leave, in the future, I will help the tired marquis, but also to help him not be bullied, not to help him regain the throne."

Yang Feng is very good at lying, even in the face of a little girl who is only thirteen years old after the New Year, he also said calmly, "To be honest, the tired marquis does not have the strength to be the emperor, it is better to help him than to help the Northern Army Sima Han Shi, he is the orphan of the prince of Ju, among the children of the Han family, he is the most qualified to succeed to the throne, can govern the army, and has the support of a large number of civil ministers, the only regret is bad luck, he did not draw lots in the Taimiao." ”

Cui Xiaojun stood stunned for a while, lowered his head and said: "Han Shi is not unlucky, but too good, although his parents are dead, his uncle is still there, and his wife is also the daughter of a minister, so he is not loved by the Queen Mother." On the contrary, the current crown prince, who is about to become the emperor, has no roots and no basis in the capital, and his mother family is in the southern border counties, which is exactly what the queen mother wants. Even the ministers are happy, they miss the prince on the surface, but in fact, they don't want to have strong relatives, the queen mother's brother Shangguan Xuan has not been sealed again, and it is also the queen mother's move to curry favor with the minister. ”

Yang Feng was very surprised, although these things came from public information, but no one dared to talk about it openly, Mrs. Tired Hou lived in a deep mansion, and she actually had such insight, which was really unusual.

But he still shook his head, it was enough to tell the truth to one person, even Han Ruzi could keep the secrets in his heart to his wife, and he would not reveal them, "These are meaningless to the tired marquis, he is far away from the battle for the throne, does Madam want him to fight to the death, or do you want to spend his life in peace?" ”

"I ...... Of course, I hope it's safe. But...... I know that the weariness has something on his mind. A big heart. ”

Sure enough, the person who shared the bed was the hardest to hide. Even though Han Ruzi was tight-lipped, he still showed a little flaw, Yang Feng smiled and said: "Then find a way to resolve the tired marquis's worries and make him forget the life in the palace, you are still young, and you have to live a long life." ”

"Can he really forget?" Cui Xiaojun showed his childish side again.

Yang Feng couldn't even bear to deceive her, but he still nodded, "He will." ”

These three words are not entirely deceptive. Yang Feng himself also has a trace of doubt: Tired Hou is too young, when he is used to the current leisurely life, is he still willing to devote himself to the struggle for the throne step by step?

Yang Feng never refused to help the incompetent, and he went to the Northern Army to see how long the Tired Marquis's ambitions could last.

Cui Xiaojun smiled sweetly, "If he doesn't want to be the emperor, I will accompany him in the Tired Marquis Mansion until he is old, but I am afraid that the court will ...... Yang Gong will really protect him in the future, right? ”

"From the moment I picked him up from my home, it was my duty to keep him safe." Yang Bong was very happy to tell the truth to his wife.

Cui Xiaojun said goodbye. After a while, the maid brought a large bag of things. Yang Bong stayed.

Han Ruzi returned home from outside, brought more things to eat and play, and went to the back house to see his wife with great interest, and in the evening, he came to see Yang Feng and wanted to say goodbye to him.

Zhang Youcai sent the wine and food, and did not forget to introduce: "The sauce meat of Dachengju, the roast chicken of Xing'an Building, and the pickled goose paw of the Hutong of my hometown...... Gee. Before he finished speaking, Zhang Youcai's saliva was about to flow out.

"Let's go to the kitchen and steal food." Han Ruzi smiled and drove Zhang Youcai away and poured wine for Yang Feng in person.

Yang Feng was also not polite, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Han Ruzi only took a small sip, and then filled it for Yang Feng.

"Madame asked you to come?" Yang Feng drank three times in a row and asked.

"Well, she said that after entering the New Year, everything is complicated, and it will be difficult to find time to see you off."

"You're very obedient."

Han Ruzi scratched her head, "She said very reasonably, the new emperor will ascend the throne on the first day of the first month, and then he will go to the Taimiao Temple and various ancestral tombs to worship, and he will also worship the heavens, earth, sun and moon, and the clan will worship each other...... Fu Cheng doesn't seem to be going to let me rest. ”

"This is a good thing, participating in these ceremonies can show everyone that the Queen Mother really has no murderous intentions towards you, and you can be safer. But you still have to be careful, the Queen Mother has only temporarily stabilized the situation, and the forces in the court and China are more complicated than before. The Queen Mother and the Cui family are too tight, and they are both cautiously walking on the Dubu Bridge, and no one wants to cause suspicion at this time, so you are safe, once someone wants to break the balance......"

"Killing the deposed emperor is the easiest and most effective way to stir up trouble." Han Ruzi understands this, and he now takes Du Chuanyun with him when he goes out, "You should also be careful, since you are in the military, everything is done in accordance with military law, if Da Sima wants to kill you, it will be easy." ”

Yang Feng sneered, "Han Shiqiang pretends to be sophisticated, he is just a teenager who doesn't know the world, he is very scared, even more scared than when you entered the palace, he doesn't know who is trustworthy, but he is eager to get help, for me, this is just an opportunity, not a danger." ”

Han Shi's appearance can't see flaws, but Han Ruzi can understand the situation of this prince's orphan: the queen mother's mind is unpredictable, the ministers are different from the outside, there is the Cui family's tiger on the outside, and there is a secret fight between the clan inside...... He was rightly scared and nervous.

"You always have to assist the Emperor."

"Because only the Emperor can take on that secret gang." Yang Feng looked at Han Ruzi and understood the young man's thoughts, "Please understand, if the Great Sima of the Northern Army is really a malleable material, I will take advantage of the situation and help him, and when the time comes, please also take advantage of the situation and live in peace in the mansion." ”

Han Ruzi drank the remnants of wine in the cup, it was hard to imagine that just more than half a year ago, he was still the darling of bedridden, and his short career as an emperor changed everything, although he had not tasted the true taste of power, he smelled the aroma at the nearest distance.

"He's not malleable." Han Xiaozi said with certainty, "His desire for the imperial throne is even inferior to that of the King of the East Sea, and the reason why the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty did not fully support him must be this reason, and it is better to be hesitant than to be pure-hearted." ”

Yang Feng poured a full cup for the tired marquis, who was young and lacked the necessary experience and skills, but there was one thing that Yang Feng appreciated: he could always guess the simplest and most essential answer.

"I'll leave one more question for the tired marquis: who will make the first move between the queen mother and Cui Hong? What's the trick? ”
