A sudden snowfall covered the bustling Jinling City.

The snow weighed on the branches, and the whole city was shrouded in an infinite pale, and it was so quiet that it was different from before.

Zhiqin was carrying the food box, the collar was stained with residual snow, and the hands exposed outside the sleeves were red from the cold, she pushed open the door of Mrs. Qi's house and called, "Madam." ”

Mrs. Qi sat on the couch, with a fire warming in her hand, looking at the snow drifting outside the window, her brows locked, "This year, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." ”

She turned her head to look at Zhiqin, and saw that the food box she had brought back yesterday was untouched, and asked in surprise, "Shui Zhi is not at home again?" ”

Zhiqin's expression darkened slightly, and she shook her head, "Childe is not here." ”

"How?" Mrs. Qi frowned, "The master said that after he was seriously injured, the Suppression Division will not arrange for him to be on duty this month." ”

Zhiqin smiled and soothed, "Madam, don't worry, Xu is son went to Lord Qin's house to use it, and the slave maid took this food box to the kitchen first." ”

She blessed her body, walked out of Mrs. Qi's room, the hand holding the food box trembled slightly, and she walked around the corridor before she slowly exhaled, "Should I tell Mrs. ......?"

I heard those rumors at the mouth of Yangliu Alley, saying that Gongzi had recruited a girl he liked in Red Sleeves, and she knocked on the door today, and it was a six or seven-year-old child who opened the door.

She shouldn't have believed it.

But the child is twenty-seven years old and still has not married, and has never heard of a girl in the heart, and the child said that the child is her only relative, and the child is unscrupulous, and those rumors are probably true.

Madame must be happy, but her marriage is ......

Zhiqin made up his mind, clenched the food box, and secretly made up his mind that Mrs. Qi must not be allowed to know about this matter.

……

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The emperor was woken up by the eunuchs, sitting on the dragon chair in a thick jacket, holding two letters from the border in his hands, and silently looking at the cabinet ministers who were hurriedly summoned into the palace.

Qi Ge Lao stood aside, watching the pavilion elders with a face like a dish, and Fei Xiang, who was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and exhaled slowly.

The emperor obviously didn't want to see him fishing in troubled waters, "Qi Aiqing has eyebrows?" ”

Qi Ge Lao frowned, "This year's snow disaster, there is no food outside the plug, and the Tartar bullets are exhausted, so naturally we will send troops."

If I give in, with the insatiable nature of these Tartars, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to sneak attack my Guansai, so the old minister wants to ...... This time, I can't let it. ”

Fei Xiang snorted coldly and glared at him angrily, "Lord Qi is in his heart, now that the Tartars have imprisoned the three princes, if you send troops at this moment, can you afford the lives of the three princes!" ”

"The three princes naturally have our elite soldiers to rescue, with the skills of General Han Yuan Han, he will definitely ensure that the three princes are safe and sound, but let it, but it is to lure the wolf into the house, lock up tens of thousands of people, and will be burned by the war, and the people are not happy, dare to ask the prime minister, how can you bear it?"

Qi Ge Lao was loud, and every word was heart-wrenching, so angry that Fei Xiang's liver hurt, and he couldn't help pinching it.

The emperor watched the two important ministers quarrel directly, and he also took a break in his amiable thoughts, and his face sank, "Guan Sai Secret Letter, General Han Yuan, in order to save Zhen'er, he was ambushed by the Tartars and almost died. Qi Aiqing, you say war, except for Han Yuan, who is available? ”

Qi Ge Lao took a deep breath, "Except for Han Yuan, no one can use it. ”

The Han family has been guarding the fortress for decades, like an eagle entrenched in a poor place, protecting the stability of the people, but the courtiers and kings and grandsons who are accustomed to a comfortable and comfortable life have long lost the heart of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Everyone squeezed their heads and took the official path, wanting to blend into this filthy officialdom, intrigue, disobeying the yang and the yin, playing with power, and enjoying the other.

But I forgot the soldiers who were guarding the fortress and couldn't eat.

"If Han Yuan fights, he will not be able to save my son." The emperor pressed the secret letter in his hand, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Fei Xiang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he can send people to rescue the three princes and support the Guansai. ”

"Who?"

The old alarm bell of Qi Pavilion was loud, his heart jumped, and he had a faint premonition, and as soon as he wanted to make a difference, he heard Fei Xiang say urgently, "Jinyi Wei commands the affairs, Qi Qianwan." ”
