Although the facts of the military rations case are clear and the evidence is conclusive, the progress has been slow because of the seriousness of the matter and the implication of the British King and the King Chen.

The people of the Xu family and the Ma family are running in many ways.

The heavenly family is not at peace.

Concubine Jia rarely went to Guanju Palace to visit the concubine.

In October, Princess Ying held a chrysanthemum banquet and specially gave a message to Princess Chen.

The meaning revealed could not be more obvious: King Ying intends to join forces with the concubine and King Chen to protect the Marquis of Jinghai and the Xu family.

This deal is a good deal for the British king.

For the British king, the biggest effect of the military ration case was not to bring down the Xu family, but to break the emperor's trust in the concubine and King Chen.

In recent years, the military affairs of the Northwest have been a top priority in the emperor's mind.

The emperor gave the military food business to the Xu family, which was both a grace and a trust.

The Xu family lived up to this trust......

But what's the matter with the Xu family?

What the king wants is that the emperor is disappointed in the concubine and the king of Chen......

As for the Xu family......

Although the Xu family has been powerful in the eyes of the world over the years, it is just a paper tiger with a shallow foundation, and it can't set off big storms.

Jinghaihou is different......

He holds the military power of Fujian and Zhejiang in his hands, and there is also a Mrs. Hou who was born in the Gan family in the house, who wants power and power, and money and money.

It is the most powerful support of the king among the foreign ministers.

Therefore, the king of England is not in a hurry to completely bring down the Xu family......

Using the insignificant Xu family to protect Jinghaihou is a very cost-effective deal in the eyes of the British king.

He is also sure that it will be done.

Because, everyone in the palace knows that the concubine attaches great importance to her mother's family.

Over the years, the people of the Xu clan have been swaggering and misbehaving, if it weren't for the fact that the concubine valued them, and the emperor favored the concubine very much......

Well, those people don't know how many times they have been asked.

It's just that this is a safe deal in the eyes of the king......

In the end, it didn't work out.

In Shoukang Palace, Concubine Jia replied to the Queen Mother angrily: "Xu Yueniang, that slut! ”

"How many troubles have the Xu clan caused outside over the years, she always pretends to be nothing and is holy...... To say that she doesn't know the virtues of the Xu family at all, who can believe it?! ”

The old lady beside the Queen Mother personally poured a cup of tea for Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia took a sip of tea and became more and more angry: "This time it is even more outrageous!" ”

"The Holy Lord lifted them up and gave them the military rations business, but they even dared to fool the military rations!"

"Let's ignore our past suspicions and take the initiative to help Xu Yueniang, she is ......"

Concubine Jia remembered the indifferent, polite and detached attitude of the concubine in Guan Ju Palace, and gritted her teeth with hatred: "It's still that pretentious style, I don't know what to do, I don't know how to lift!" ”

Concubine Jia snorted coldly: "She thought that she was still Xu Yueniang back then, and she could hook the saint ...... with some foxy means."

The Queen Mother interrupted Concubine Jia's words, her tone was low but very powerful: "Okay! ”

Concubine Jia's heart sank, and she hurriedly got up to confess to the Queen Mother.

It's okay for her to complain in Yongfu Palace, but she shouldn't say it in front of the Queen Mother......

The Queen Mother was her aunt, the emperor's mother, and her mother-in-law.

No mother would be happy to hear her daughter-in-law talk about her son......

What's more, the son of the Queen Mother is the current emperor.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Jia, told Concubine Jia to sit down, her tone softened a little, and said, "After so many years, what kind of character is that maid, you still don't know?" What's so infuriating! ”

"The mourning family has long thought that the maid will not agree easily......"

"She doesn't trust the Ma family, so how can she join forces with us?"

"Besides, if we want to find out which is more important than the Xu family and the Hou Ye, can't she think of it?"

"She values her mother's family, but she values her son's future even more......"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if she has the heart to make this deal, will Qianjue agree?"

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Doesn't Qianjue want to be the emperor?" ”

Concubine Jia thought about the Queen Mother's words a few times, and after thinking about it, she first said the Queen Mother's name, and then asked anxiously: "In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" ”

Coping ......

The Queen Mother was silent.

She was born in a small family, and she couldn't even recognize a few big characters before marrying the first emperor......

What good coping could she come up with?

It is nothing more than pleading with the emperor......

Plead......

The Queen Mother suddenly remembered that many years ago, the elegant and resolute man had said to her, "Niangniang, love is something that is less than once, if it is not a last resort, it is better not to use it." ”

If that person is willing to help her, willing to help Qianzhang and the Ma family, then the situation will definitely not be what it is today......

But he certainly didn't want to.

And she didn't want to bother him anymore.

He escorted her son to the throne smoothly, and pointed out the way out for the Ma family to join the army and politics.

He has already helped her and the Ma family a lot.

Empress Ma looked at the familiar furnishings in the hall, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

This temple seems to be no different from when she moved in......

And she sat in this temple, and her green hair grew gray.

And that person......

The person in her heart......

It's old now, right?

But she didn't even know what he looked like when he was old......

Such an absurd and inappropriate relationship......

Even she thought it was ridiculous......

There is such a person as her in the world......

After getting married and giving birth to a son, when I met my son's teacher, I was moved for the first time in my life.

Even if such a thing happens to ordinary people, it is a rare scandal when you think about it......

And how much more is she?

Before her death, her mother was a model for women in the world.

After her death, she will be buried with the first emperor, and the spiritual position is worthy of the Taimiao!

She is not entitled to these ......

This forbearance that has never been declared in the mouth and buried deep in the bottom of the heart has deceived the world, but it can't deceive the first emperor's undead, and it can't deceive the gods and Buddhas.

The Queen Mother sighed and said to Concubine Jia: "The mourning family will find an opportunity to ask the emperor, don't act rashly for the time being." ”

Concubine Jia respectfully agreed, and when she saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be tired, she lowered her head and bent down and retreated.

The Queen Mother came out of her mind for a while, and asked the grandmother beside her, "Qianjing hasn't been here for a while, has he?" ”

Mama replied without leaking: "His Royal Highness King Duan has left the palace to open the mansion, and he can only enter the palace if he is called...... His Royal Highness is the most courteous and thoughtful, so he can't come often......"

"But Your Highness must always have your ...... in mind"

"Even in the years when His Highness was outside, he always greeted him warmly......"

"It's not in vain that you hurt him."

A smile hung on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth.

Of course, she prefers Qianjing......

Because of Qianjing, she and that person seem to have some connection.

If there is no Qianzhang......

No, even if there is a Qianzhang......

Even if she has more grandchildren and granddaughters......

Her most selfish is always Qianjing!

Mama looked at the Queen Mother cautiously and asked, "Do you think it's ......?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "That's it...... In an eventful season, if the mourning family summons him, it will arouse suspicion in vain......"

……

Because the attitude of the higher authorities towards the military rations case was unclear, the officials of the nine sides all watched each other and dragged the case.

It was not until November that Ma Zhili, the prefect of Tongcheng, took the lead in submitting the case to Beijing, and then the officials of the Nine Sides heard the wind and successively submitted the case files, exhibits and witnesses to the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Before the case file was collected, Yu Shi Zhongcheng said that he was sick and took leave.

In addition to urging all localities to submit case files, the imperial historian who took over the takeover was resolute and resolute, and also went to the road to summon military and political officials from the nine borders to Beijing to testify in coordination.

This is easy to understand: the military rations case is a hot potato, and whoever handles it is unlucky......

If you want not to be settled by the autumn queen, you must complete the iron case, and pull as many people into the water as possible......

The Emperor gave the go-ahead.

At this point, the direction of the wind is finally clear.

In mid-November, Shao Beicheng carried his bags and brought a few relatives to return to Beijing with Mu Linyuan.

His trip was to return to Beijing to testify on behalf of the officials of Tongcheng......

Except for Tongcheng, the rest of the Biansai faction are all small officials......

It's just to testify, and there is no need for the feudal officials to do it in person......

However, General Shao Xiao's reason for doing so is righteous and awe-inspiring: he wants to speak for the armor in person!

Errands that others avoided, but this master took the initiative to take it......

Anyone who listens to it will feel that General Shao Xiao is righteous and heroic!

However, Mu Linyuan didn't think so.

He looked at the young man galloping beside him, it was a spring-like ......

While resting, Mu Linyuan looked at Shao Beicheng's big bag, and couldn't help but persuade him: "You must cover your bag tightly......

"Now everyone thinks that you are back in Beijing to testify, thinking that you have evidence in your bag......"

"If it were known to men......"

Mu Linyuan shook his head and did not continue.

Seling is dizzy......

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that Shao Beicheng would carry such a bag of things all the way from Tongcheng back to Kyoto......

A bag of sheep crutches......

Shao Beicheng disagreed: "It's okay to let people know......

"She's young...... When I went back to Beijing to testify, it was not uncommon for me to bring her some toys. ”

mentioned her, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "You don't know, she is smart and sensible, she is young, but she talks and acts like a little adult......"

"I'd rather she be a carefree child, just like those children in Tongcheng, who get together every day to play with sheep crutches......"

He remembered something again, and specially told Mu Linyuan: "Don't mention to her that these sheep crutches are all polished by me personally......

"Otherwise, if she knows, she may be reluctant to take it out and play with it......"

Mu Linyuan looked at the sky speechlessly, shouting in his heart: God, what is going on?!

Why did this thing think of bringing a bag of sheep back to Rong Yu?!

Moreover, not only was he not worried that he would be angry with Rong Yu, but he felt that Rong Yu would be reluctant to take it out to play?!

A few sheep bones, what's there to be reluctant to?!

He's also an unlucky ......

Listening to Shao Beicheng chanting all the way, his mind is now full of the word "sheep crutch", and he even forgot the prescription......

He wanted to say to Shao Beicheng: "Rong Yu, that little elf, is it an ordinary child?!" Would she love to play with sheep crutches?! ”

However, who made him unable to beat Shao Beicheng?

So, Mu Linyuan sincerely said to Shao Beicheng: "Your gift is very good, it is full of heart, but it is not vulgar ......"

Shao Beicheng looked at Mu Linyuan with a look of "good brother, you understand me" with satisfaction, and then felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that you haven't decided to marry yet, otherwise I can teach you to grind sheep and crutches......"

sighed in the tone of someone who came over: "However, in the future, if you make a marriage, don't look for a ...... who is too young."

Shao Beicheng's tone was sweet and melancholy: "You don't know how much effort it takes to take care of a little girl......
