Qinglongwei? The eldest princess of peace was stunned, no wonder she saw a sense of familiarity on this maid's body, it turned out to be Qinglongwei's person.

Qinglongwei has always been loyal only to the emperor. Even the queen and the crown prince can't command Qinglongwei. The eldest princess of Ping'an laughed self-deprecatingly, she didn't expect Her Majesty to value Yan He so much, even Qinglongwei was willing to give her a little girl.

I'm really old. The eldest princess of peace had a decadent look on her face. Looking at Fangcao, who was under the control of others, the tone of the eldest princess of Ping'an showed a hint of begging: "Mama Gong, this palace hopes that you can spare Fangcao's life." ”

Hearing this, Mama Gong bent her knees: "Your Highness is too worried." The county lord just asked the slave to ask the grass girl a few words. ”

After Mama Gong finished speaking, she waved her hand at the cherry: "Take it away." ”

……

In the Qianyuan Palace, Wei Zhao received the confession from the prince of Chu from the hand of the inner servant, and when he saw the name of one of them, a pair of dark eyes like a cold pool added a bit of sharpness.

"Everyone's been disposed of?"

"Back to my father, my sons are fortunate not to be dishonored, and all the traitors have been ambushed." Chu Yan's handsome face lost its former warm color, but was cold and hard, dignified, like a cold sword, and at some point, the tip of the sword would be stained with blood.

Wei Zhao bowed slightly, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything abnormal there is King Cheng?" ”

"Back to my father, after King Cheng arrived at the imperial tomb, he has been under the surveillance of his sons, and there is no possibility of collusion with the chaotic party."

There are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family. The emperor would suspect Cheng Wang, and Chu Yan didn't find it strange at all. He said respectfully, "Father, son-in-law is suspicious...... The person behind this assassination is the remnant of the deposed prince. ”

Regarding Chu Yan's speculation, Wei Zhao's attitude was noncommittal. He rubbed the mutton fat white jade dragon pattern wrench on his thumb, I don't know what he thought, his thin lips were slightly hooked, the coldness and thinness between his eyebrows subsided a little, and his ink eyes looking at Chu Yan were as dark as the night sky.

"I heard that Fuqing imprisoned the Duchess of Chu in the princess's mansion. She did something rude because she was worried about my safety, Jingyuan, you say a word of annoyance to the Duchess of Chu for me. ”

Wei Zhao's tone was gentle, as if he was no different from an ordinary father.

Hearing this, Chu Yan's clear and narrow eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to ignore the emperor's words.

Chu Yan understood in his heart that the reason why he was able to call His Majesty "Father Emperor" was because his wife was favored in front of His Majesty.

Now that there is His Majesty's sentence, even if someone in the Duke of Chu wants to use this matter to make a fuss, they must first pass the pass of Your Majesty. As for the mother, as a son, he will make amends.

"Father, son-in-law, and Jiaci have no intention of blaming the princess." Chu Yan hurriedly said.

Although Wei Zhao can be regarded as a loving father to his daughters, he is not a person who loves children. After reminding Chu Yan, Wei Zhao lightly changed the topic.

"This case is very involved, and I plan to arrange for Liu Yuanying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to be the presiding judge, and Huang Anshi, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, as the deputy, and you will be the jury. Jingyuan, what do you think? ”

Hearing His Majesty's order, Chu Yan was stunned at first, and then a deep sense of excitement rose in his heart. However, soon, he suppressed his excitement and excused himself very calmly: "Father, Lord Liu and Lord Huang are both old and serious people, and it is only appropriate for the two of them to try this case." But the son's qualifications are still shallow, and I am afraid that he will be entrusted by his father. ”

Wei Zhao was not surprised by Chu Yan's resignation.

Although the eldest daughter's husband was chosen by the eldest daughter herself, Wei Zhao was very satisfied with this son-in-law. Although Chu Yan was born in a noble family, he was talented and had a high school diplomat.

The most rare thing is that Chu Yan is calm and sophisticated, without the arrogance of a young man, Wei Zhao arranged him to work in the General Administration Department, and he has never made a mistake since he took office.

If the crown prince could have half of this son-in-law's talent, those remnants would not have made a mess out of the cracks.

"I'm going to transfer you to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Wei Zhao said his arrangement.

Chu Yan is now hanging on his body the position of the senator of the five grades, although he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he has no real power. Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the official position of the fourth product, not only with real power in hand, but also known as "Little Jiuqing".

If he can be promoted to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple...... No matter how calm and restrained Chu Yan was, he was stunned by this news that seemed to be pie in the sky. After a long time, the frenzy and excitement in his heart gradually subsided, and this time, Chu Yan not only did not refuse, but said solemnly: "The son of the minister thanked his father Emperor Longen." Please rest assured that your son will never let your father down. ”

Chu Yan silently added in his heart: I will never let Wan'er down!

Wei Zhao nodded slightly. As a king, he has always been moody and temperamental, and this action is a rare state of satisfaction with his courtiers.

"Jingyuan, Cai Fengchun can't pass through the court, as for Xie Jin, just point out that he is involved. In addition, the Marquis of Changxing was demoted to the earl. For the rest of the matters, you and Liu Yuanying and Huang Anshi will dispose of it as appropriate. ”

I can't write two "thanks" in one stroke. Xie Jin was hateful, but Wei Zhao would not hurt the jade bottle by beating mice. No matter how much Cai Fengchun is involved, he can only be designated as the mastermind, and Wei Zhao will never allow the possibility of overturning the case.

Chu Yan has always been a smart person. Although His Majesty only had a few words, Chu Yan guessed the emperor's mind in an instant.

Your Majesty will not allow this case to climb to the county lord of Yonghe, presumably, this is also the reason why Your Majesty arranged for himself to be a jury.

Chu Yan hurriedly said respectfully: "Erchen respectfully obeys the holy order. ”

……

The northwest camp is as light as a bean in the handsome tent. The tent with the campfire was empty, save for topographic maps spread out on long tables.

Suddenly, a high-pitched snare drum sounded outside the tent, one after the other, faster than the beat of the drum.

"Report! Victory! Victory! The marshal personally cut off the head of the king of Hui! The high-pitched, sonorous voice of the vanguard officer floated through the night sky.

There was silence in the camp, and then a screeching erupted.

Cheers, cheers, high-fives, sword draws...... All sorts of joyful voices swept in like a tidal wave, tearing through the silent night, brighter and warmer than the roaring campfires burning in the camp.

Xie Han, who was surrounded by countless soldiers, turned over and dismounted, and there was a dead human head on the tip of his spear. It is the Hui King who is over forty years old.

Adjutant General Shen Yanlei, the right general of the Northwest who has just taken office, threw down his blood-stained helmet and hugged Xie Han heavily.

"Marshal, are you going back to Beijing for this big victory?" The nine-foot-tall, unshaven beard, bear-like man showed a sentimental look that did not match his rugged features, and a pair of eyes, which were especially bright in the night, flashed with tears.

Xie Han punched Shen Yanlei hard and scolded, "What are you doing like a child!" Now that there are only about 50 old and weak people left in the whole clan of Hui Hui who have been killed by us, shouldn't you be happy? ”

Shen Yan said angrily: "Although your subordinates are happy, you are about to return to the capital, Marshal." As long as the subordinates think about it, they can't sleep well. ”

Xie Han laughed loudly when he heard this, his laughter was thick and loud, without the elegance and arrogance of the nobles in Beijing. He reprimanded: "Lao Tzu hasn't seen his sister for so many years, but I want to think badly of Lao Tzu!" ”

Wuling, who used to be freshly dressed and angry, was young; For example, Zhilan Yushu was born on the court steps, riding a horse and leaning on a bridge, full of red sleeves; However, after experiencing the ruthless wind and sand in the northwest and the brutal battlefield baptism, the handsome eyebrows can no longer find the green bamboo in the splendid pile, rich and graceful, but have become brave and resolute, from cultivating bamboo like jade to growing into a towering tree in the north, guarding a country and protecting a peace!

Tears suddenly fell in Shen Yanlei's eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head and knelt on one knee. With his movements, the heavy armor sounded with a rustling sound of rubbing, like a golden stone striking each other, Shen Yanlei said loudly: "Marshal take care, my subordinates wish the marshal a bright future in the future!" ”

Xie Han was stunned, he raised his arms, and was about to help Shen Yanlei up.

The entire northwest camp resounded with the sound of kneeling.

The sound of the armor seemed to hit Xie Han's heart. The remaining 90,000 soldiers shouted together: "Congratulations to the marshal, the last general wishes the marshal a bright future!" ”

The stars were bright tonight, and the twinkling stars in the sky and the campfire in the camp were shining brightly.

The night wind howls, and even in the warm spring of May, the night wind in the north can still make people's frozen teeth chatter.

In the midst of solemnity, the burning bonfire made a sound of "beep, beep", which just covered the choking of the iron man in the army.

Xie Han's eyes were hot, and he pulled out his long sword with a "bang" and stuck it on the ground.

Xie Han knelt on one knee and solemnly knelt on the ground with the dignity of a coach. He suppressed the astringency in his throat and shouted loudly: "I'm Xie Han, thank you." You are all robes who trust me with life and death, and you are my brothers of the opposite sex! Xie Han kneels down and thanks to everyone! ”

In the last sentence, the throat is already hoarse. A tear fell on the mud and soon seeped into the dry and hard soil of the Northland.

After his parents left, the boy silently swallowed his last tears, left the rich and soft red Kyoto, left his beloved sister, and set foot on the desolate northland, where his father once left footprints, for ten years...... From the strangeness at the beginning, to now, the homeland is difficult to give up......

The heavy jar of wine shattered to the ground, and the whole camp wafted with the aroma of wine. These soldiers who have passed by the king of Hades several times in the past few days urgently need to get drunk, only when they are drunk, can they vent their reluctance to part, can they laugh loudly, and cry wantonly!

Xie Han woke up the next day with a splitting headache. He hadn't been unbridled drunk for so many years, and last night was his only indulgence in so many years, and it was also a farewell to his young self.

After last night, the hot-blooded man in the north should be buried, and he will go on a new expedition to fight for himself and his family in the treacherous capital.

Xie Han wrote the fold, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the messenger in the army to send it, and he called Shen Yanlei to make the final delivery with his subordinates.

Xie Han beat his horse and walked through the land where he was stationed, and after one last look, he hugged his fist at Shen Yanlei and whipped away!

Anzai Prefecture Protectorate.

The young and beautiful Mrs. Jingping looked at the letter sent by the capital with a serious expression, and as her gaze continued to move down, the smile that had been pursed at the corner of her lips gradually disappeared.

Wang's long eyebrows are Lianjuan, slightly contemptuous, in this rough and desolate northland, there are quite some elegant and charming like smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Her complexion was as white as fat, her lips were red, her figure was petite, graceful, and her coquettish appearance was like rubbing flowers and jade, which was incompatible with this rough northern land.

But it was such a delicate nephrite-like woman, but when Xie Han led the troops, she not only supported a mansion, but even a border city. The beautiful eyes under the curved eyebrows are unusually clear, and if you look at them for a long time, your eyes will even have a burning feeling. It can be seen that this woman is shrewd and strong under the soft outside and strong inside.

"Peony." Wang raised his voice and commanded.

The woman who was guarding outside the study pushed the door open. This woman looks like she is also twenty-seven or eight years old, combing the woman's hair bun, with a long face, a slender figure, wearing a green sprinkled flower jacket, an indigo blue skirt, and a butterfly love flower golden hairpin inserted in the black bun.

"Say hello to Madame, I don't know what Madame commands?"

Peony is the dowry maid of the Marquis of Jingping, the wife of the Wang family, and has been by the Wang family for thirteen years. When he reached the age of the Xu people, the Wang family was in charge, and Xu was married to the steward of Xie Hanwai's study, and he returned to the Wang family to serve after a month of marriage, and the relationship with the Wang family's master and servant was extraordinary.

Wang Qingyun didn't shy away from her, and pushed the letter on the table in front of Peony: "Take a look." ”

Peony bent her knees, took the letter in Wang Qingyun's hand with both hands, and swept it with ten lines. She raised her head suddenly, looked at her master in disbelief with a pair of eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, this, this ......"

Wang Qingyun rubbed the acupuncture points on the side of her forehead with a headache, still feeling a faint pain in her head.

The content of the letter made Wang Qingyun feel very tricky, and she sighed helplessly: "I don't know how angry my husband will be when he sees it." ”

Peony swallowed hard, and it took a long time to find her voice, and she said with difficulty: "Madam, how could Your Majesty have such a mind! His Majesty and the Ancestor are cousins of the in-laws, and there is a difference in seniority between them and the county lord......"

"Don't forget, my sister once had a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seniority or something, Wang Qingyun doesn't care, the royal family is the least senior. Only this marriage contract, which was withdrawn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, made Wang Qingyun feel embarrassed.

"Madam, although the county lord once had a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Prince, but the prince regretted the marriage before, and this marriage could not be done at all." Although Peony also knew that her words were a bit far-fetched, but after facing Wang Qingyun's worried gaze, Peony could only try to choose good and obedient words to comfort her master.

"Your Majesty has always been a cadre and an autocratic person. I hope that His Majesty is sincere to his sister, so that the resistance of the court will not be resistance. Wang Qingyun can only let herself think on the bright side.

After all, after the prince repented of his marriage, even his brother and sister-in-law were anxious to draw a line with him. Now it seems that it is a blessing and a curse, and a blessing and a curse.

Wang Qingyun sneered. Back then, Yu Xiu and Wanrong made a marriage contract, and even exchanged tokens, but the eldest sister-in-law returned the jade pendant to herself. The brother and sister-in-law are so snobbish, which really impresses Wang Qingyun.

Wang Qingyun was furious, except for his mother, he broke off contact with everyone in the Wang family. Who would have thought that there would be today!

"Madam, don't worry. The two grandmothers said that His Majesty arranged for Qinglongwei to protect the county lord, which was a favor that the queens and princes of previous generations had never had. ”

Peony comforted softly.

Wang Qingyun thought the same.

I have to say that Peony is worthy of being Wang Qingyun's most important confidant, and every sentence has touched Wang Qingyun's heart.

His Majesty's thoughts are not something that Wang Qingyun can speculate, and can only wait and see the after-effects. It was another thing mentioned in the letter, which made Wang Qingyun unconsciously tighten her eyebrows.

"Grandmother, she must have known His Majesty's intentions for a long time, otherwise she would not have sent her sister to Jiangnan. It's just such a big thing, grandmother shouldn't hide it from her husband, she should tell her husband about it. ”

Although the eldest princess of Ping An treats her husband and wife very well, Wang Qingyun does not agree with some of the eldest princess's practices.

And, in the heart of the eldest princess of Ping'an, the most important thing is the Xie family. The second is Xie Han's grandson. As for Mianmian, in the heart of the eldest princess, I am afraid that it is not as close as the maid who serves by the eldest princess's side.

But for her husband, Mianmian is her husband's only sister. Wang Qingyun will not be confused on this point.

Therefore, after seeing that the eldest princess of Ping'an actually gave poisoned wine to her own granddaughter, Wang Qingyun was shocked and angry.

When the eldest princess of Ping An broke her wrist for the Xie family's strong man, did she ever think about her husband! If Mianmian died unexpectedly, Wang Qingyun didn't dare to imagine what her husband would do.

What's more, His Majesty has already expressed his intention for Mianmian, and the eldest princess of Ping An is still delusional about sacrificing her granddaughter in exchange for the peace of the long room and the third room, has she ever thought about Xie Han's grandson?! His husband is in military power, and there are 100,000 soldiers under his hands, once the prince ascends the throne, his husband will never be lucky!

"Madam, are you afraid of the relationship between the Hou Ye and the eldest princess?" When Peony was in Wang Qingyun's boudoir, she followed her to read and write, and the eldest princess of Ping An weighed the pros and cons, and Peony understood after thinking about it a little.

His Majesty has only one son, the crown prince. The eldest princess of Ping'an was afraid that the prince would take the Xie family after he ascended the throne, so she thought of sacrificing the interests of the second room in exchange for the peace of the big house and the third room. How loving, how vicious!

"That's not what I'm worried about. Since the eldest princess dared to force her sister to drink the poison, her husband would never recognize this grandmother again. Wang Qingyun sighed and said quietly: "Your Majesty is old enough to be my sister's father." I'm afraid that my husband will not obey the decree and refuse to agree to this marriage! ”
