Chapter 106: The Draft

Outside the General's Palace.

Xu Chun got off his horse and asked his entourage to lead the horse away, while he walked towards the gate.

When he returned, the porter immediately greeted him respectfully and opened the closed door.

At this moment, Xu Chunzhi saw Lin Yunxin standing inside the door looking at him with a smile.

Seeing him come back, Lin Yunxin smiled softly: "You're back." ”

Xu Chunzhi was surprised, then strode forward, picked up Lin Yunxin and spun around, and said happily: "I'm back!" ”

Seeing that the servants around him were smiling, Lin Yunxin was a little embarrassed: "Let me go quickly." ”

"Don't let it go!" Xu Chunzhi didn't follow, and said with a smile, "I'm holding my daughter-in-law at my own house, who can say anything?" As he spoke, he strode in with Lin Yunxin in his arms.

Lin Yunxin is not such a thin-skinned woman, although she is embarrassed, but it is rare for Xu Chunzhi to come back and go with him, so she hugged his neck and looked at him with a smile.

Xu Chunzhi also smiled at her, and the two of them collided with each other, and everything was silent.

Coming to the hall, "Come and eat." Lin Yunxin struggled, and Xu Chunzhi let go of her with some reluctance.

Xu Chunzhi has long been hungry, and during this time, he has formed a habit on the edge of the Qinjiang River, and the speed of eating is also very fast, Lin Yunxin keeps picking vegetables for him.

"Don't patronize me, you eat yourself." Xu Chun's way.

"I'm fine, I haven't digested what I ate in the morning until now." Lin Yunxin looked at him and found that he was a little darker, and he had lost a lot of weight, although his eyes were bright, but they were blue and black at the moment, and it was obvious that he had been staying up all this time.

"After eating, go to sleep for a while, now that the flood has subsided, you can also relax." Lin Yunxin said.

"Hmm." Xu Chunzhi nodded, and said, "By the way, you will take the time to go back to the Lin family and meet the old man, he is stubborn, he must keep an eye on the completion of the digging of the river, if I didn't try my best to persuade him to come back, he would not leave." It is estimated that after he reports to the emperor, he will ask for orders to return to the edge of the Qinjiang River. ”

Lin Yunxin understands that grandpa has always been extremely serious in his work, and no one can pull back his stubbornness: "You have also worked hard, I will go back later." ”

In the evening, Lin Yunxin's carriage returned to the General's Mansion.

Xu Chunzhi also recuperated after a sleep, and asked with a smile: "Has the persuasion succeeded?" ”

Lin Yunxin shook his head: "The old man is stubborn, I don't mean that this is a thousand years of work, and the interests of all the people must be watched in person." ”

"It's also good, the old man has something to do, and it's not boring." Xu Chun's way. What's more, the court is not very peaceful now, and the old man is outside the imperial capital, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Lin Yunxin said helplessly: "He is in good spirits, and he has always emphasized that he can fight for another twenty years." ”

"Haha, that's a fact."

After eating dinner and taking a walk to eliminate food, Lin Yunxin was pulled by the energetic Xu Chunzhi to do half-night bed exercises, and slept until three o'clock in the morning the next day.

In the afternoon, she heard that in the morning in the court, a number of officials had spoken out to impeach Ning Xiangdong, the minister of taxation in Huaizhou, and listed a lot of empirical evidence that he had embezzled and accepted bribes, bullied men and women, seized farms and houses, and committed numerous murders. Not only that, but he also submitted false account books when His Majesty returned to Huaizhou, and deceived the king.

Under a series of conclusive evidence, Ning Xiangdong was quickly sent to prison, and at the same time, officials from the Huaizhou department were also investigated.

Previously, Xu Chunzhi was not in the imperial capital, and let the ghosts of the imperial capital cry wolf, but now that he has returned, he naturally has to clean up.

Soon, the direction of the court changed, and the officials who were still ambiguous about the official silver case in the east of Huaizhou City immediately made the "right" choice, after all, Xu Chunzhi was able to do it so smoothly and drastically, and the emperor's support was inevitably indispensable behind it.

The emperor knew this, but he didn't expect his general to act so quickly, and the evidence was so complete, as if he had already prepared and was sure, and he had a new understanding of Xu Chunzhi's speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

In the palace.

The emperor had lunch with Concubine Ning in Yuanhe Palace, and after a short rest, Concubine Ning gently pressed his head with her fingers to relieve the headache.

"Aifei's massage method really works." The emperor closed his eyes and smiled.

Concubine Ning said softly: "The emperor has been overworked recently, which has caused headaches, and he still needs proper rest." ”

The emperor sighed lightly: "There have been a lot of things recently, and it won't be able to be dealt with in a while. ”

"But the concubine heard that General Xu has already returned to the imperial capital?" Concubine Ning said with a smile.

"Oh?" The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes shone on his smiling face, "Why did you suddenly mention him?" ”

Concubine Ning smiled innocently and cutely: "The concubine heard that General Xu is very powerful, he can be civil and martial, he can govern the country and be safe and secure, and even the flood was defeated under him this time, such a capable person has returned to the imperial capital, isn't it much easier for the emperor?" ”

Concubine Ning has never discussed the government, and occasionally when she hears something, she will come to the emperor like offering treasures, without any scruples, but let the emperor feel that she is delicate and cute, and she is a little less jealous of her, even if she is often wronged and openly argues with the queen, she is a little more tolerant, thinking that she is innocent and pure.

At this time, the emperor didn't think that Concubine Ning was taking eye medicine on him, but he had some doubts, did he really give Xu Chunzhi too much power, otherwise how could even a concubine in the deep palace know that Xu Chunzhi has excellent ability and omnipotence, and with Xu Chunzhi, even he, the emperor, can be more relaxed?

So does it mean that one day Xu Chunzhi wants to be the emperor, it will be easy and natural?

The emperor's eyes dimmed, and he closed his eyes again to enjoy Concubine Ning's massage with just the right amount of strength, but he thought in his heart.

His great general is indeed too capable......

A month later.

The flood disaster and the reconstruction of people's homes gradually faded out of people's sight, and new things attracted people's attention - Hou Fei Da. Choose.

It is said that this matter was raised by the queen and received great support from the courtiers. After all, compared with other emperors in previous dynasties, today's new emperor Li Zesheng's harem is indeed lacking, not to mention that now that the north and the south have been unified, the emperor is already the real co-master of the world, the scientific examination has been resumed, and the selection of the harem should be so.

Now the emperor only has two princes and three princesses under his knees, which is really too few.

What's more, the former dynasty and the harem were originally one, and now seeing that the Wang family and the Ning family are so profitable, other families are also ready to move.

Seeing that the official recruitment of draft girls will start next month, all families have mobilized to strive for the selection of excellent show girls, not to mention that ordinary officials want to push their daughters out to fight, and even the wife of General Yuan's family, Zhuang, has also moved this thought.

General's Mansion of the Yuan Dynasty.

"No! Don't even think about it, the harem is a place that ordinary girls can go to? Yuan Da General Yuan Huan's voice was like a bell, and he said angrily.

"What ordinary girl? Where is our Yuxin ordinary girl? She is our daughter, with her father and brothers, what can she suffer? This is in case Yuxin gets the emperor's favor......"

"No, don't think about it." Yuan Huanliang shook his head again and again.

"Oh, why are you a dead brain? How unique our Yuxin is, the average noblewoman of the family is well-behaved and cautious, our Yuxin has a cheerful personality, a good body, and martial arts, maybe she can get a man, I'm afraid the emperor has never seen such a beautiful girl with such spirit...... "Zhuang still wants to persuade."

"You fool!" The more Yuan Huanliang listened, the more wrong he became, and scolded, "You are the child's mother, what do you think of the child?" Tools for having children? also wanted Yuxin to give birth to a prince...... You're crazy! ”

"Am I not thinking about you either? If we Yuxin can give birth to a prince, it will be right for you. It's not good on the way, it's really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs......" was scolded like this, and Zhuang was also a little angry.

"No! I warn you not to toss this, can our Yuxin's rectum survive in the palace? You don't want to think about it, it's a harem, how much pickled things are in it...... If Yuxin goes, I'm afraid it won't be long before she dies, and she doesn't know how she died! ”

"Huh? You?! …… Why are you like this, why are you cursing your daughter?! Zhuang was even more angry. After all, it is a mother-daughter connection, and when Yuan Huanliang said this, Zhuang's was also a little worried, "Isn't it?" Anyway, you are also a second-rank general, even if it is for your sake......"

"I'm a fart with this little face!" Yuan Huanliang burst into a foul mouth, "If you want to die alone, do you have to kill people with a knife and a gun?" If you want to die, isn't there more than one way? Yuxin has that brain, playing with people with those twists and turns, will she be so cautious to guard against others when she sees them? What's more, there are many swordsmen with honey and belly, and the girl you raise yourself is a few pounds and a few taels, and you know it yourself! ”

"This ......" Zhuang also came back to his senses, but he was still a little unwilling, "But such a big benefit is allowed to be taken advantage of by others?" ”

"You have it, don't these useless hearts, our family is not at the point where we want to sell women for glory......"

"Alas......" Zhuang mourned again and again.

Lin House.

"Mother, I've decided, I'm going to the draft." Lin Shuzhen said to the eldest lady Zhou.

Zhou's hands shook in fright, the tea cup fell down, came back to his senses, and said incredulously: "Draft? You're going to the draft? This, isn't this good......? ”

Although it is true that all the families of the imperial capital are required to choose a show girl to participate in the election, this person does not have to be her Shuzhen? Is this harem so close?

Zhou knew that his daughter had always had an idea, and since she could say this, she naturally thought about it, but she still discussed: "Daughter, you don't know the danger in this, it's a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and your grandfather is currently the fourth official of the Ministry of Works, but in fact, it is not so ......."

"I know." Lin Shuzhen said, "In this matter, the family may not have helped me enough, maybe as we have seen, there are always a few who are truly brilliant, but once you get up, you are not afraid of anyone." ”

Looking at Lin Shuzhen's serious and proud appearance, Zhou's heart was complicated, and for the first time she had doubts about her previous way of educating her daughter, although she had always told her daughter that she was a daughter of a long house, with a noble status, and she had to have her own arrogance, but she didn't want her to go to extremes.

"Mother, I know you don't want me to suffer, but as the saying goes, if you suffer hardship, you will become a superior person. Since I have no relationship with Zhang Junhong, then, if I want to marry me, I have to marry the most noble man in the world! ”

That man is the Emperor!

Thinking of Zhang Junhong, Lin Shu's heart instantly rolled up with monstrous hatred!

It's all Lin Yunxin, if it weren't for her, how could she end up in such a field, and go to the harem to compete with countless women for a man?

If it weren't for Lin Yunxin's design that brought Zhang Junhong's reputation to the ground, how could she not be able to marry him?

In this case, since she can't cross Lin Yunxin no matter what, then she will marry the emperor! As long as she can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, when the time comes, the mother will be more expensive than the son, even if it is Lin Yunxin, the lady of the first grade, what can she do in front of her?

Lin Shuzhen gritted her teeth: "I have made up my mind, my mother doesn't need to persuade me anymore." One sentence blocked all of Zhou's inner words.
