The first person who stayed up all night was Taifu Cui Hong.

For the king of the East China Sea, there are so many forces in the world, and there are only two of the most powerful ones, one is the queen mother, and the other is Cui Taifu, and the only reason why his uncle has not been able to achieve victory for a long time is that he is too timid, indecisive, and has missed several good opportunities.

For Cui Hong, things are not so simple, he has been in the officialdom for many years, he knows very well that no one is worth fully believing, the people who are allied with you today may be informant tomorrow, and the people who deal with the Northern Army with you today will oppose you tomorrow when you attack the prime minister and the queen mother, and if you really want to do it, they have become turtles with shrunken heads.

Cui Hong sighed, blaming his wife for not being angry, and none of the sons he gave birth to were decent, so that no one was available at the most critical moment.

The Southern Army Camp has been built for many years, and the house is not much different from the mansion in the city, Cui Hong drank alone in a study, and calculated over and over again in his heart, which people are credible, to what extent, which people are not credible, and at which juncture will he betray himself......

His head hurt when he thought about it, and he didn't sort out the context.

Lin Kunshan quietly entered the house, walked to the table without being announced, and extinguished a candle, and the already small light in the room was a little less.

Cui Hong looked up at the comer, and thought to himself, the most untrustworthy person is the one who wants to see, but he has been deceived again and again, can the other party know magic? He gripped the scabbard at his waist and tried to solve the problem in the easiest way possible.

Lin Kunshan's greatest ability is to observe words and looks, he saw the danger from the other party's expression, and instead of dodging, he leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Taifu." ”

Cui Hong was stunned for a moment, slowly loosened the scabbard with his palm, and asked coldly, "Why are you happy?" ”

"The duty of the southern army was originally to guard the capital, and it has not left the land of Gyeonggi for decades, but now it has been sent to the north by the imperial court, and the whole army has a sense of grievance.

Cui Hong sneered in his heart, but his hands were on the table, "And Erxi?" ”

"Taifu's nephew, the king of the East China Sea, has always been feared by the queen mother, and every time he falls into danger, after last night's attack on the village, the king of the East China Sea has no worries, and the Cui family has another layer of protection, which is two joys."

Cui Hong was furious, his hands clenched into fists on the table, "When someone gave me an idea yesterday, it didn't seem to say that, that person was you." ”

Lin Kunshan's smile remained unchanged, "The time is right, the situation is also, if the King of the East China Sea can't avoid the attack of the Chai family, he is just a fledgling under the wings of Taifu, and it will not help the Cui family, but he successfully dodged it, with the wisdom of the King of the East China Sea, after this catastrophe, he will definitely gain, so he is Taifu's right-hand man." ”

"I'm afraid he hates me now." Cui Hong sighed, wondering how he could listen to the pampering of the Qi Seeker before, and actually want to kill his nephew, who is the only junior among the close relatives of the Cui family who is worthy of support.

"Taifu doesn't need to worry, the king of the East China Sea is smart enough, Lin can let him and Taifu release their suspicions in a few words, and they can still be a family."

Cui Hong stared at Lin Kunshan, these qi seekers have no other skills, demagoguery is definitely the first rate, if anyone can convince the king of the East China Sea, it must be this person.

"But there are still three joys?" Cui Hong let go of his fist and gently swiped his fingers on the table.

"Yes." Lin Kunshan slowly straightened up, with a solemn expression, saying that this was the greatest joy, "The first time the tired Hou tried to cry, although it did not reach the nine heavens, it was also extraordinary, and there will be great success in the future." ”

Cui Hong was stunned again, "What does this have to do with the Cui family?" ”

"Did Taifu forget that the tired Hou is the son-in-law of the Cui family and the half son of the Taifu, and the harmony between the tired Hou and his wife is the third joy of the Cui family."

"One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, and the king of the East China Sea and the tired marquis can only stay one in the end."

Lin Kunshan smiled but did not speak.

Cui Hong finally suddenly had to admire the hopeful, and persuaded him in a few words, and the gloomy front suddenly became bright, "That's right, the Southern Army is the current reliance of the Cui family, the King of the East China Sea is the future backer, and the Tired Marquis is the guarantee in case of emergency, as long as my daughter is still there...... But the current power of the tired Hou is too weak, and he is afraid that he will be wiped out at any time. ”

"Why don't you lend a hand?"

"No, that would anger the King of the East Sea...... Ah, and my daughter. Cui Hong put his hands on the table and said coldly: "I hope that when Mr. Lin comes up with ideas in the future, he can think more about it and not make mistakes again." ”

"Error?" Lin Kunshan also had a cold face, blindly currying favor could not gain the trust of the powerful, and sometimes, the high-ranking and powerful also needed a lesson, "Leaving aside the King of the East China Sea, without the late attempt, will Taifu figure out the details of the champion Hou so quickly?" Now that Taifu knows, the Northern Army is still not to be feared, and the champion Hou is not the opponent of the Cui family, so you can concentrate on dealing with the most important enemy. ”

Cui Hong still wanted to kill this guy with one sword, but not now, he thought, the Qi Seeker is still useful, "Then ask Mr. Lin to go and assist the Tired Marquis and the King of the East China Sea, no matter what, you can't let them enter the city, at least not at the same time." ”

Lin Kunshan bowed slightly, smiled and exited the study, for him, the more people who "help", the stronger the power he controls, and these nobles in the court will never understand this truth.

Separated from the entire capital, in a room in the camp of the Northern Army, the champion Hou sat at the table and shivered, picked up the wine glass but couldn't bring it to his mouth, and angrily put it on the table, and half of the wine spilled out.

He couldn't sleep that night.

"Get out!" Champion Hou shouted.

The two military officials serving Da Sima immediately exited the room and met Shi Yangfeng, the commander of the Northern Army, at the door.

Yang Feng was dusty, still carrying a horsewhip in his hand, he watched the military officials walk out, enter the house and close the door, standing in front of the champion Hou, without saying a word or bowing.

"Yang Changshi is back." Champion Hou squeezed out a smile.

"Hmm." Yang Feng replied coldly and didn't move.

Champion Hou is eighteen years old, and he looks more mature, in fact, he already has a son, but at this moment, he is at a loss like a young teenager, bowing his head slightly, and gently rubbing his hands on his legs, "I made a mistake...... But Yang Changshi was not in the barracks at the time, and I couldn't find anyone to discuss......"

"Who's coming?"

He claimed to be Yuan Zisheng, took Cui Hong's letter, and after meeting, he ...... He said a lot, and I was confused for a while......"

"I know what he said." Yang Feng walked closer and put the horsewhip on the table, Yuan Zisheng, Fang Zisheng, and the Qi Hopeful didn't even bother to name them, "What is Champion Hou's plan next?" ”

"As soon as I found out that something was wrong, I asked the court for guilt before Cui Hong, and the Queen Mother forgave me and allowed me to go to Northern Xinjiang to make meritorious contributions, I think I can do it." Champion Hou Ruoruo looked at Yang Feng expectantly, his hands tightly grasping the placket, hoping to get an affirmation.

Staying in danger is an extremely rare quality, some people can only have it after long-term training, some people are born fearless, and more people can't do it in a lifetime, for the latter, even if they are ten times smarter than Yang Feng, they are helpless.

"The Queen Mother forgives the champion Hou, the only reason is that the northern and southern armies are there, and she doesn't want to be killed."

"Defeat the Huns, and I can still lead the army back, right?"

Yang Feng shook his head, "As soon as the northern and southern armies leave, the Queen Mother will immediately find someone to fill the vacancy." ”

"Looking for whom? The Empress Dowager's elder brother Shangguan Xuan also had to go to northern Xinjiang to serve. ”

"Shangguan Xuan is just a bait." Yang Feng couldn't help but increase his tone, as if he was teaching a lesson to a student who was not a talent, "Shangguan Xuan was seized by Cui Hong, proving that he was not worthy of the big responsibility, the Queen Mother gave him up as early as last year and appointed him as the general of the Su Wei Zhonglang, which is nothing more than confusing the court, making everyone think that Shangguan Xuan is very important, in fact, he has completely lost power, even if he leaves the capital, the Queen Mother has no loss, she chose another ...... in Shangguan's house"

"You should have told me this earlier." Champion Hou's hands clenched into fists on his lap, and finally found the key to everything.

Yang Feng was silent for a moment, took a step back, bowed down and said, "It's my fault for failing to share the worries of the Lord, I beg the champion Hou to forgive me." ”

Champion Hou smiled magnanimously, and when he heard Yang Feng's apology, the tension in his heart eased a lot, "Let the past pass, what should I do next, does Yang Gong have a countermeasure?" ”

"In this contest, the Queen Mother won a complete victory, and she should not compete with it, and the champion Hou should go to the north as soon as possible to establish meritorious deeds, expand her prestige, and wait and see the changes in the capital. In order to expel the two armies of the north and the south, the queen mother made many concessions to the minister, or it won't be long before the minister should make concessions. ”

Champion Hou was more relieved, reached out and picked up half a glass of wine, brought it to his mouth steadily, drank it all, and then asked solemnly: "Yang Changshi must be on my side, right?" ”

"Of course." Yang Feng bowed again, "The champion Hou is not only the orphan of the orthodox prince, but also has 100,000 northern troops to help, the so-called emperor's capital, although Yang is not a good bird, he is also willing to choose a tree to perch on." ”

"That'...... What about the Tired Hou? ”

"The general trend of the tired Hou has gone, only the name of the abolished emperor is still a few points of value, which can be used and cannot be assisted, Yang only hopes that the champion Hou can make the best use of it, and not be preempted by the opponent."

Champion Hou stood up on the table, he didn't care about tired Hou at all, he only cared about his future, "Okay, let's go to the north and take the Huns!" ”

The more excited the champion Hou is, the calmer Yang Feng becomes, and lying is a simple thing for him.

Between the northern and southern armies, there were also several people in the capital who couldn't sleep at night.

In the Hou Mansion of Hengyang, the Chai family was still mourning the murder of the little master, and the old princess sat on the bed and cried, and asked the children and grandchildren in the interval: "A group of waste, you are all a group of waste!" The murderer of my grandson is not only Guiyi Hou, but also his daughter and son, as well as the deposed emperor, who can avenge the blood hatred of Xiaohou, I will let him inherit the position of Hengyang Hou! ”

The real Marquis of Hengyang hung his head and said nothing, ordinary people can't do such a thing, but his wife is not an ordinary person.

In the palace, after listening to Han Xing's report, the Queen Mother ordered him to retreat, chuckled, and said to Wang Meiren beside her: "Your son is not very obedient, it's okay, then let him go to Northern Xinjiang, I want to see how long he can live in a group of tigers and wolves." ”

After a pause, the Queen Mother asked again: "The battle of Northern Xinjiang is not trivial, the northern and southern armies are not credible, who do you think is suitable to lead the whole army?" ”

Wang Mei lowered her eyebrows and looked at her, "The queen mother has made a decision, and the concubines don't dare to say anything." ”

"Hey, don't you say less in front of me these days? That's Han Xing, he is a member of the royal family, and he is the governor of the soldiers and horses, no one is more suitable than him. ”

"I'm afraid that the Metropolitan Governor will not be able to suppress the two armies of the north and the south." Wang Meiren reminded carefully.

The Queen Mother snorted, not caring at all.

In the tired marquis's mansion, Cui Xiaojun couldn't sleep even more, guarding the lonely lamp, full of emotions, and suddenly thought of one thing, this time apart, I don't know when I will see my husband again.

She picked the wick and whispered to herself, "I must let you live." ”
