Zhang Long hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Highness Yi, don't say anything about it. Just now, the last general came over and saw that the prince's two personal soldiers were guarding here, standing and not standing, sitting or sitting, and they were still talking to each other here. Your Highness Yi, what kind of system do you say this is? The last general could not stand it, so he told them to go down and take twenty sticks for himself, and he stood guard here for them. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he nodded with a smile and praised: "General Zhang has this loyalty, no wonder he has won the trust of my father." It's just that you are guarding here like a god at the East General Gate of Erpin Town, where do I dare to go in? ”

Before Zhang Long could answer, Qiu Yizhi heard someone behind him call him: "It turned out to be Yizhi, you came quickly." ”

Qiu Yizhi looked back, and saw that his father-in-law Zheng Rong had been washed and cleaned, paced calmly from under the flower stand, and spoke to himself, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I don't know that my father-in-law is here, Yizhi is abrupt, and I hope that my father-in-law will forgive his sins." ”

Zheng Rong's robe was spotless, which was in line with his meticulous and extremely refined character, and said to Qiu Yizhi: "You get up, Gu Zheng has something to say to you, and go into the house with Gu first." ”

Qiu Yizhi and Zheng Rong entered the study, and according to Zheng Rong's instructions, they sat down on the embroidery pier and listened to Zheng Rong quietly.

I only heard this Youyan King ask: "When the flag was sacrificed, my Youyan civil and military officials of all sizes were rewarded, only you Qiu Yizhi, although the merits made are incomparable, but only you did not get the prize." Are you resentful? After Zheng Rong finished speaking, he added, "You have to tell the truth, don't lie to me." ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that although his father-in-law was upright in his work, he had sharp eyes and far-sightedness, and it would only be self-defeating to try to deceive him, so he said with a wit: "Yizhi's little thoughts, after all, he still can't hide his father-in-law!" If you want to say that you are dissatisfied, there are really some. Yi Zhijian's three brothers have all been knighted, and several cronies under his father-in-law have also been given official positions. I'm the only one who only has an empty name of 'His Royal Highness of Righteousness', and I can't give orders or lead troops in the military, so I just want to share my father's worries, and I don't have a name. How can this Yizhi be at ease? ”

Zheng Rongwan smiled and said, "Can you still not know Qiu Yizhi's lonely mind?" However, what you said is also a bit measured, and it lives up to the baptism of wind and waves in the past few months. Lone doesn't hide it from you, my Youyan military system is not as good as the imperial court military department, this Youyan Dao, these more than 100,000 elite soldiers are all trained by Lone for more than ten years, and they have always only recognized Zheng Rong and not the emperor, in the final analysis, they are just private soldiers of Youyan Palace. The three words of your 'Your Highness of Righteousness' are worthless in the clan, but in the Youyan Army, who dares to underestimate you? ”

Qiu Yi nodded while listening to Zheng Rong continue: "Lone is still the same sentence. Although you can do things with confidence, after the matter is completed, in addition to the position of the emperor, you can be any official in the court if you want to be any official, which idler dares to say more than half a word? ”

Zheng Rong paused and said, "Also, you are still young, and you get along well with Gu's sons. You can't use up your wisdom and wisdom, and you still expect to use it for your son! ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, but thought: My father, who pays attention to stability and seriousness on weekdays, but now the situation is only slightly better, how can he remember that the eight characters of the emperor have not yet been handed down? He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to break it in his mouth, he only said: "How can Yizhi have a father-in-law think so far, and now he just thinks about helping his father-in-law achieve great things." ”

Zheng Rong listened, nodded and said, "This must sound like what you are talking about." Then the conversation changed, and he asked with a tense face, "In that case, then you might as well tell Gu about what Wang Zhonghai's death has to do with you?" What happened to the death of Emperor Daxing? ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that Zheng Rong would have such a question, so he said carefully: "This matter is all done by the Tianzun Sect, although it has something to do with Yizhi, but if there is no Yizhi here, Zheng Yao will also use the cult to kill the king." Then, Qiu Yizhi explained how the leader of the Tianzun Sect colluded with the emperor's second son, Zheng Yao, and how he colluded to order the martial arts master to kill the king, and finally concluded, "This matter is what the cult saint Wen Lingjiao said with Yizhi, and it should not be false!" ”

Zheng Rong listened to Qiu Yizhi's eloquent words, while bowing his head and pondering, hearing him mention Wen Lingjiao, he asked again: "Gu originally thought that this Wen Lingjiao was a cult saint, and she must act perversely and weirdly. But when I saw her, I only felt that she was no different from the young lady of an ordinary official family. But I don't know why she always has a relationship with you Qiu Yizhi, is there anything else to do with it? ”

Qiu Yizhi is such a smart person, from Zheng Rong's few words, he heard that his father-in-law no longer had the original fear of Wen Lingjiao, "if it is not my race, its heart will be different", so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Tianzun Sect has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has been passed down from generation to generation as the Wen family's inheritance, and it is the same as the emperor's throne. This Wen Lingjiao originally didn't want to be in the cult, but she was born in the Wen family, so she had to become this saint. ”

Zheng Rong listened, sighed and said: "This woman is innocent, but she has also wronged her. ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said: "Yizhi also had a long conversation with her, showing her the benefits, as long as she can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and draw a clear line with her brother who is the leader of the cult, it is not all forgivable. This Wen Lingjiao was quite tempted, so she helped Yi Yi to help save her father-in-law from the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Zheng Rong nodded, and was about to speak, but he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and heard someone report loudly: "The ministers and others obey the king's orders and come to ask for peace!" It was Zheng Xin's voice.

So Zheng Rong also replied aloud: "You all come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and Zheng Xin, Zheng Sen, Zheng Miao, Zhong Likuang, Cui Nan, and Wei Hu rushed in, and when they saw Zheng Rong, they bowed their heads. Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly flashed to the side, waited for these people to make a big salute, and then sat down in Zheng Miao in order.

Zheng Rong saw that Zhang Long was still standing outside the study, so he greeted him loudly: "Zhang Long, you can also come in to discuss matters!" ”

Zhang Long listened to the summons, stood at the door and said, "The last general will not dare, let's stand here for you to guard!" ”

Zheng Rong was not difficult for him, asked him to close the door of the study tightly, and said to everyone: "I think everyone already knows." The imperial court sent the former general Dai Luanxiang to lead the forbidden army of 200,000 to garrison Henan and confront our army. ”

Among Zheng Rong's three sons, only Zheng Sen was the most brave and rude, and while others were still pondering, he got up first and said: "The way to use soldiers is nothing more than soldiers to block and water to cover the earth." My Youyan army, whether it is infantry, cavalry, or crossbows, is far superior to the imperial army, as long as you fight with him in an upright and open duel, you will be able to win a battle. ”

Zheng Rong listened to the words of the second son, and he praised it: "Okay, the two armies are facing each other, and what you want is this sharp spirit in you." However, this Dai Luanxiang, Lone knows, whether attacking or defending, he is very lawful, resourceful, and good at the same as strange soldiers, not to be underestimated! ”

Zheng Sen said nonchalantly: "Father, don't overestimate this surnamed Dai. If he really has the ability, when the grandfather of the first emperor swept the north, how did he order his father to be the commander and Dai Luanxiang to be the general? At the beginning, he was not as good as his father, but now he is still a defeated soldier under his father! ”

Zheng Rong listened to these two flattering words, his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he coughed lightly, turned his head and asked Zhongli Kuang: "Mr. Zhongli, I don't know what you think?" ”

Zhong Li Kuang shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "The student is not familiar with military strategy, but this Dai Luanxiang name still knows something, I'm afraid you can't take it lightly." However, sooner or later, our army will have to meet with the imperial court, and there is nothing wrong with letting Zheng Sen contact him first. ”

Zheng Rong heard Zhong Li Kuang's gloomy tone in his ears, and he also calmed down, and said to Zheng Sen: "This king will order you to be the vanguard, command the 10,000 troops in the direction of Dengzhou, and fight against the forbidden army for a while. Then he said to Wei Hu, "You go with Zheng Sen." You must know that this battle is just a contact with the imperial court, and it is necessary to stabilize the current defense line as the top priority, and not to take the enemy lightly, you know? ”

Zheng Sen and Wei Hu listened to the order, and hurriedly got up and said, "The last general will get the order." ”

Zheng Rong nodded with satisfaction, and continued to order: "You two will take the first step." Zheng Miao, where is Cui Nan? ”

Zheng Miao and Cui Nan listened to the order, and they all got up and took a step forward and said, "The last general!" ”

"You will go to Bianzhou immediately, and you need to carefully observe the movements of the front. If the Dengzhou side wins, it can wait for the opportunity to move and attack the flank of the forbidden army. If the war in Dengzhou is unfavorable, it must be prepared to respond. Got it? Zheng Rong ordered.

Zheng Miao and Cui Nan listened to the order and replied in unison: "The last general will get the order." ”

Zheng Rong nodded again, and said to everyone present: "Gu will cross the Yellow River south and enter Bozhou, and take unified command on the front line. There must be no mistake in leaving Zheng Xin to do a good job in conscription, transportation, and other affairs in Guangyang City. ”

Zheng Xin listened, but got up and said, "The child has also led soldiers and fought battles. Several younger brothers have gone to the front line to fight for their father, how can I, the elder brother, hide in Guangyang City? ”

Zheng Sen smiled and said, "Is it a trivial matter for you to be a conscription and transport grain?" Although fighting a war is a knife and a gun on the surface, in the final analysis, it is soldiers, horses, money and food. Although my Youyan is rich, the court has many soldiers after all. You're going to get this matter right, and you can take the first credit! ”

Zheng Xin's heart to inherit the Youyan Mansion was already hot, and now his father provoked an anti-flag, and added "Jiuxi", and faintly had the intention of establishing himself as the emperor. If this major event is successful, Zheng Xin, the eldest son of Youyan King, will become a dignified eldest son. Although his father Zheng Rong seems to be fond of his third brother Zheng Miao now, he is the eldest after all, and he only needs to perform well in this battle, so maybe he will be canonized as the crown prince after his success. After a hundred years of Zheng Rong, this prince will be the future emperor......

When Zheng Xin thought of this, his heart was already full of joy, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The words of my father are like an empowerment. The child is determined to be the father and the king, and several younger brothers and generals will do this messenger well, and they will definitely live up to the trust of their father! ”
