Today's beginning of winter, in the early morning, it is very rare to drift for a while to clear the snow.

As soon as the snow stopped, a middle-aged man in a fur, his brows furrowed slightly, carefully pushed open the vermilion door, and entered the quiet courtyard alone, closed the door, and suddenly his ears were clean, and his face stretched a lot.

There is an old well in the small courtyard, a dozen magnolia trees that are growing happily, and a clean and neat hut, which is very quiet, which is a solitary space that he does not want to share with anyone.

It's going to be cold soon, and it's time for the magnolia tree to be watered for the winter.

The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves, brought up a bucket of water from the old well, and then tested the water temperature, the water was very cold, a little icey, he frowned and lifted the water to a tree, and then carefully poured the water into the tree pit, watching the water swirling in the tree pit, smiled knowingly, and then lifted another bucket.

A tree and a bucket of water, to ensure that all the magnolia trees have eaten water, the middle-aged man put the bucket away, began to walk around the trees, these trees are not long, the same age as her, he took her back the year he planted it by hand, more than ten years of ups and downs, he took good care of these trees, never broke branches, rarely by insects.

Now that the flowers have fallen, I don't know when they will bloom again.

At this moment, the middle-aged man walked to a tree with branches and leaves sticking out like arms, and there was a red rope hanging from the branch, and a few flakes of snow hung from the red rope, and the man just wanted to bounce the snow flakes away, but he didn't bounce down.

This red rope was hung up on the day she left the palace, no other meaning, praying for her good luck, eating enough on the road, sleeping at night, don't be bullied, he has this wish.

He knew that she was very stubborn, so he didn't keep her that day, the child will always be attached to the outside world when he grows up, especially when he steps into the cultivation, it is even more beautiful to say that he wants to break into the rivers and lakes and sharpen his kendo, so he has no reason to lock her in the deep palace.

Now, she has made a big mistake, and he doesn't know how to punish her.

According to the law of Fengtian, although she colluded with rebellious people, although it was an unintentional act, she could also be accused of treason, and the light one was removed from the position of princess and used for peace consideration, and the heavy punishment was given to the death of the poisonous wine Bai Aya.

At this time, the middle-aged man was the most upset, he could already guess that tomorrow there will be someone in the court to denounce her by taking advantage of this matter of heavenly anger, although it is tomorrow, but for him it is already a matter of burning eyebrows.

He was also young, and he made almost the same mistakes, people make mistakes, and this has nothing to do with status.

He shook the branches and leaves gently, remembering another person, he didn't know if she was doing well now, and he didn't even know if she was still in this world, planting this magnolia tree only hoped that she would be safe, and also hoped that she could grow up happily, and the safety of the mother and daughter was his long-standing wish.

About an hour later, the middle-aged man walked out of the yard, and then, looking back, he said that this time the winter water was enough, and he took time to come and wrap the trunk of the tree in cotton cloth to keep out the cold.

At this time, there was a cautious person standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry to ask, the man was also very knowledgeable and did not talk about things, and the middle-aged man carefully closed the door, turned around, and then said: "Senior Yu asked his subordinates to tell His Majesty that the situation of the little princess has turned from dangerous to safe, I hope Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that really what the senior of the fish peep river said?"

The man replied: "It's true, Senior Yu still has a matter for His Majesty to tell His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't know whether to talk about this matter. ”

The man hesitated and lowered his head.

The middle-aged man whispered, "It's okay to listen to it. ”

The man looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Senior Yu said that it was a wrong decision for you to let Gonggong Cao go to find the little princess this time. ”

The middle-aged man said slightly angrily: "What is the wrong method?"

The man's face changed slightly, and he replied in a low voice: "Senior Yu didn't speak. ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, thought for a while, and said, "Prepare the car, I'll go here." ”

Soon, the middle-aged man drove to a stop in front of a courtyard gate surrounded by towering ancient trees, jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes, walked quickly, pushed the door and closed the door, drove lightly, stopped by a fish pond, looked at the old woman who turned around leisurely, and said in an eager tone: "I have something unclear, I hope the seniors will tell me." ”

The old woman already knew what His Majesty was anxious about, but she didn't ask directly, but went around and said with a smile: "Let me ask Your Majesty, do you know who Cao Wang is going to the extreme north with this time?"

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Isn't it Yan Huichun?"

The old woman nodded and said: "There is another person, it is the Yan family's master, who has not done anything for a long time, and this time he is angry out of the mountain." ”

The middle-aged man asked, "Seniors think this matter is inappropriate?"

The old woman smiled and said: "Naturally it's not appropriate, about dealing with this matter, Your Majesty is confused, because your relationship back then, your vision is not real enough, and now Xue'er and the Yan family only have a marriage contract, but they are not from his Yan family, what reason does the Yan family have to interfere in this matter, why is it so rushed, compared to the drunkard's intention is not to drink." ”

"There is one more thing, maybe Your Majesty really doesn't know, the heroes of the world will be, how to fight for the first place, this matter is not impeccable, these things hope that Your Majesty will think about it in his spare time, although things are not as big as your world, but the black sheep are often not only a group of horses. ”

The middle-aged man listened carefully, thought about it for a while, sorted out a little bit of the clue, wrote down the matter, and then asked: "I just want to know Xue'er's safety now, and mixed with that Xiao Jiansheng, will he have other intentions, this matter makes me very embarrassed, for this matter, the court can no longer be appeased, I don't know if the predecessors have good opinions." ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said: "Please rest assured that Your Majesty, that kid has seen it for the elderly, not the kind of person who wants to kill his life, his heart is quite correct, if His Majesty does not have to work hard for this matter, as for this matter, the old man, who is a master, will not escape his responsibility, how Your Majesty will deal with it, I think Your Majesty must have thought about it for many days." ”

After about a stick of incense, the middle-aged man left the courtyard.

As soon as he returned to the chariot, he sighed and said: "The world is the world of all people, and it is not my Zhao family alone who has the final say, how should I deal with it?"

The old man who drove the car smiled and said: "I don't count what I said, Cao Wang said that it is equivalent to farting, how to deal with it, in the end, it is Your Majesty that you have the final say, the child is not bad, maybe there is a better way, but Your Majesty, you didn't think of it." ”

The middle-aged man said happily: "What is the way, say it quickly." ”

But the driver shouted as if he hadn't heard, and left.

As soon as the middle-aged man's carriage was far away, Yu Pehe sneered and said: "If you are a person, you will make mistakes, and if you are a person, you will be confused, you Zhao Mingying had better not be confused in this matter, otherwise, there is no regret medicine." ”

Almost noon, the middle-aged man returned to the imperial study, locked himself up, refused to see all the court, left only a waiter at the door, sat quietly next to the grinding white bookcase, only called a pot of flower tea, and began to browse the pile of folds in a hurry, almost all of the folds appeared in the name of the little princess, and the most excerpts appeared in as many as 12 places, which made the middle-aged man extremely unhappy, and dropped the folds off the bookcase casually, and scolded loudly.

One of them did not mention the little princess, but it was tireless to help him analyze the major events in the world, analyze the future direction of the snowy region, in fact, the content of the excerpt is quite pragmatic, such as mentioning the rebellion in the snowy region, the Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, the Fengtian Dynasty naturally wanted to take advantage of the time when the Jin country faced the north to transfer troops and punish the generals, and give the Dajin Empire a painful blow, one to avenge the first emperor, and the other to expand some boundaries to the north, by the way, you can also bean muscles in front of neighboring countries, the Fengtian Dynasty does not care about Chongwen, and Wu can still be safe.

The middle-aged man nodded, feeling a little interesting, although he said to himself and smiled: "This Zheng Cangyi is a bit interesting, he is worthy of being an old subordinate of Shangguan Yunting, the old is old, and he still remembers the matter of the first emperor, I wonder if he can carry a sword and cross the horse now?"

The middle-aged man folded Zheng Cangyi's fold and put it upside down on the corner of the desk.

Next, he didn't look at the other folds, but opened a drawer, took out a white cloth package, put it on the bookcase, opened the corner of the cloth, and took out the old white paper.

He knew that his name was Xiao Wen, he was addicted to alcohol, he died young, and he was a few years older than him, and more importantly, this Xiao Wen was also Xiao Jiansheng's adoptive father, he had read this book in the spring, but at that time he was influenced by Xiao Jiansheng, and he couldn't calm down and read a long story of an alcoholic, but at this time, he took it out and read a few pages carefully, and it seemed that something suddenly became clear.

At this moment, someone slammed the door three times.

The middle-aged man snorted, and a thin man who was not tall and his eyes were deep-set walked in, came to the bookcase and said directly: "Your Majesty, Su Xin is incompetent, and the twelve people sent out not only failed to find out the slightest news, but were all killed in Linzhou City, and none of them survived. ”

The middle-aged man pushed away the teacup beside him, got up slowly, stared at the person hanging his head in front of the bookcase, suppressed his anger, and said as calmly as possible: "Do you know who did it, it's so bold, even the people in the sleeve shop dare to move." ”

Su Xin said expressionlessly: "The subordinates suspect that it is possible that Wu Bang is powering from it, but there is no evidence now. ”

"Wu Bang?Chen Zhaolin, does he have the guts?"

"The subordinates also think that there is no such possibility, if there is a puppet occupant above Chen Zhaolin, everything makes sense, Your Majesty still remembers that when the World Heroes Meeting, Mafu asked His Majesty not to get too close to Wubang, and His Majesty did not adopt Mafu's opinion at that time. ”

"It's really a white-eyed wolf that can't be fed," the middle-aged man raised his thick eyebrows, and suddenly sneered: "You continue to secretly pay attention to the movements of the martial arts list, and remember not to be reckless." ”

Just as Su Xin was about to leave, the middle-aged man asked again, "Where is Chen Gang now?"

Su Xin replied: "According to the advice given to him by his subordinates, Chen Gang has now checked into the dock leading to Donggao in advance, in case someone lays out the princess, Donggao is a small country, but there are so many gangs and forces that it is almost a murderous bazaar." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, Su Xin withdrew, and he simply packed up his bookcase, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the imperial study, tonight he was going to summon an important person.
