In the early spring of Liang Yongding's third year, it was deeper and the dew was still heavy. The imperial city is prosperous, but the lights are faint, but the general's mansion is still lit up. In the study, Xue Yihan sat at the table and was silent for a long time, but it was difficult for a few people to gossip. Outside the courtyard wall, he suddenly heard the drum beating the third watch, and only then did he come back to his senses, and waved weakly to Lao Liu, the person outside the door, and said, "Go and call the young master." ”

After seven rounds and eight turns, Lao Liu walked to the door of the young master of the General's Mansion. These nine-song corridors all show the grandeur of the General's Mansion. Liang Guoxue's family, generations of generals. When Xue Yihan, the general of Chaozhenbei, was still very cold, he grew up with the first emperor since he was a child, and he went out for his father when he was a weak sibling, and became famous in a war. Later, he invited himself to be the governor of the country. The year of the lifelong event is mistakenly established, this is another long story. After the newlywed, his wife also stayed at the border with her husband. A loyal martyr is a military general in the DPRK and China, and there are many protégés of Xue Yihan. Although there is a suspicion of high merit, the first emperor Shengming, the general is self-controlled, and the two have been monarchs and ministers for many years, but there is no disagreement.

In the third year of Liang Yongding, after the social day agricultural festival, the night banquet of the son of heaven. Overnight, the world was turned upside down. The first emperor died, and the former prince was shocked. Although there was no fear of life, he injured his spine and lost consciousness in his entire lower body. The emperor and queen were deeply in love, and the first queen also went with a glass of thin wine. The original crown prince Wei Yi has an outstanding demeanor and is from the orthodoxy of the middle palace, and is the first child of the first emperor three years after he ascended the throne. Suddenly encountering this catastrophe, it was not enough to choke his wrists, and the court was like boiling water. On the Jinluan Palace, even if there is a puppet, it must be a well-carved and wonderful person, and no one can turn to be a cripple. Three days after the death of the first emperor, the six princes ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the year name to Xuan'an. He also respected the first queen as the queen mother and was buried with the first emperor, and the rest of the first emperor's concubines, including his biological mother Shuguifei, were only promoted to concubines, and the position of the queen mother was vacant. Hundreds of officials praised the new emperor for benevolence and filial piety, which was for the Ming monarch. The former crown prince was named King Chen and retired outside the palace.

The court is troubled, and the border is not at peace. The Hu people have not committed a war for decades since the first emperor Yongle period. However, on the same day that the national funeral in the capital was announced, 50,000 soldiers and horses were hoarded, and they confronted the northwest from afar. neither call for war, nor retreat. Xue Yihan pinched the holy decree of the new emperor with one hand, and pinched the military situation with the other, and the two were in a dilemma. At the same time, he was shocked, although the first emperor said that he had passed the age of confusion, but at the end of the year, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he was still full of energy, and it was hard to imagine that he died of a bad illness overnight.

The prince is even more strange, the palace is not allowed to ride horses, daily travel is based on slow, not to mention that the carriage is difficult to cause big damage, that is, the prince is really forbidden, with his superb riding skills and no reason to be trampled by crazy horses.

However, the border pass and the capital are nearly thousands of miles away, and the two tribes of the Xianbei tribe are eyeing each other. Xue Yihan probed for two days, but still didn't dare to leave at this time. I had to hand a few folds to Beijing day and night. One military situation, please forgive the saint, and the other wants the new emperor to prepare money and food, but I am afraid that the five tribes of the Hu clan will take advantage of the weakness. What he didn't want to come was the wrath of the new emperor's thunder, and he urgently interrogated Xue Yi for eight hundred miles, and he dared not to return.

The army outside the border pressed the border, and Longyan in the capital was furious, and he still didn't dare to risk the frontier affairs after thinking about it again and again. A sentence: "The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it" quickly handed it to Beijing, and then refused to accept the holy decree, thinking that everything would be done after the battle.

However, the imaginary battle did not come. After a few days of garrisoning, the Hu tribe retreated like a tide overnight and never returned. Rao is Xue Yihan is familiar with military books, and he doesn't understand various reasons.

The holy decree in Beijing has arrived again, but the tone is not like Long Wei a few days ago, but it is a few strokes to express the grace of the king. I only ask General Xue to serve the country and the people, it is the spring planting, and the war must not start, otherwise the people will be displaced this year.

Xue Yihan saw that the Hu clan was retreating, and he was worried about the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but he was helpless, so he had to carefully arrange the deputy general Song Bai to Zhenjiang, and the other side brought a few cronies to hurry from Beijing.

As everyone knows, the affairs of the capital are far worse than those from the frontier, and if you rush in, you will never be able to climb out. This scene is treacherous, and in the future, the barnyard official and the history of the barnyard will not know what kind of pen and ink is a thousand lines. But it happened, and it was only more than half a month before and after.

When Lao Liu knocked on the door, Xue Ling was scattering his hair, facing the bronze mirror, and inserting a bunch of fashionable pearls in the capital into his head as best he could. Suddenly, she heard her father call her over, so frightened that she hurriedly pulled it off and threw it all on the ground, and quickly pulled her hair in a bun and tied it with a man's hair crown. Fang Cai opened the door and asked Lao Liu: "What did my father call me so late?" ”

Lao Liu has been an old man in the General's Mansion for many years, and he has been with him since the old general was still a young general. The old general died, and he guarded the old lady in the mansion for decades, and he was clear about today's situation. The child in front of him is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the baby who grew up in the border pass is said to be cold, and he is still a baby. He sighed: "The general's business, where do we know what to do, little master, you should go quickly." ”

Before making military exploits, Xue Jiaerlang was not allowed to be called a major general. Several generals at the border pass called her a little cub, and the others kept calling her young master. When he arrived at the study, Xue Ling saw that only Xue Yihan and Lu Wenan were still there.

Lu Wen'an's name sounds like Wen Crepe, but he is actually a standard martial artist, born in a poor family, and his parents are counting on him to gain fame and glory to his ancestors, but in the end, he has been begging Xue Yihan for more than ten years. Seeing Xue Ling come in, Xue Yihan cheered up and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Luo'er." ”

Xue Ling's heart sank, her father hadn't called her like that for a long time. But she and Xue Yihan have been separated for more than a year, and she only shouted stiffly, and her father turned to call Uncle Lu in a soft voice. Xue Yihan stared at the girl in front of him, his son.

It's been more than thirteen years, and the scarlet of that night, he doesn't dare to remember it anymore because he is used to seeing life and death. During the Yongle period of the first emperor, the five tribes of the Hu nationality jointly gathered 200,000 troops to attack Liang, this battle was extremely tragic, after this battle, in exchange for decades of tranquility outside the northwest. For Xue Yihan, it was also exchanged for the greatest despair in this life.
