The war in the southwest came to an end, and Liang Fengmian and Liang Liang had time to return to the mansion from the barracks to rest.

In the past few days, the emperor has canceled the early dynasty for a few days because of the dragon's physical condition, but the documents sent by the vassal state government, as superior officials, still have to be read one by one.

Since Liang Huanqing got married, they didn't go back to the house much because they were busy with official business, and they couldn't spend anything on the busy feet in the barracks, and they didn't feel anything wrong.

At noon, Liang Fengmian and Liang Liang sat at the same table to eat, they didn't like many people when they ate, and in order to let the people eat on time, they dismissed the idle people, and only Liang Bo was left to wait next to him in the dining room.

Liang Fengmian has a habit of drinking, he drank a glass of wine and then sandwiched a piece of fish, and when he was about to eat, he felt that something was wrong, and then put the fish piece in the dish in front of him.

"Sir, isn't this fish unappetizing?" Liang Bo stood behind him with a wine jug, so that he could pour wine for Liang Fengmian in time, and after seeing Liang Fengmian put down the dishes and chopsticks, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "The fish is fresh, and the little maid in the family bought it from the fisherman's house by the river today, and the method is also the master's favorite braised stew, is there something wrong?" ”

Liang Bo knew that Liang Fengmian was physically and mentally exhausted due to his busy official duties, and he had been in trouble with Prince Jing in recent days, so he was afraid that Liang Fengmian was not in good health, so when he saw that something was wrong with him, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Liang Xiao sat on Liang Fengmian's left hand side, and when he saw his father put down the chopsticks, he also slowly put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but he said that he had no appetite, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"It's fine." Liang Fengmian shook his head and sighed, this time he seemed to be much older, "Old Liang, you can also sit down and eat with us." He pointed to the position of his right hand and beckoned Liang Bo to sit down, which was usually where Liang Huanqing was sitting.

When Liang Bo saw it, he could know why Liang Fengmian was unhappy, he was a sentimental ordinary old man, and when he saw a weak little maid in the house on weekdays, he wanted to let the other party go down to rest in distress, and for the servants in the house, Liang Bo was as warm as his father.

Liang Xiao looked at Liang Fengmian, frowning slightly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Liang Bo sighed, and sat on Liang Fengmian's right hand, he poured a glass of wine for Liang Fengmian, and said, "Master, it's better to eat a little, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it." ”

Then he looked at Liang Lin again: "Young master, you can eat it too." ”

At this time, it is the middle of summer, and it is the hottest weather, and the sound of cicadas outside the house resounded in the sky, making people feel irritable inside.

Liang Fengmian looked at the lush trees outside the house, sighed, and said: "In the past, Huanqing always frolicked in his ears, and he had never heard the chirp of knowledge, and he almost thought that the General's Mansion was not ignorant, but now that I look at it, this summer is different from usual." ”

As soon as he mentioned Liang Huanqing, Liang Bo and Liang Xiao glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say, and they didn't use chopsticks to eat, so they followed Liang Fengmian's gaze to look at the trees outside the house.

Liang Fengmian saw that the atmosphere was not right, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat it all, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

He picked up the piece of fish meat on the plate with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, the taste was like chewing wax, and it was tasteless.

Liang Lin didn't know what to say, he understood his father's sadness and reluctance, and so did he.

Liang Bo mentioned that he had to wipe his tears when he saw the eldest lady since he was a child, since he got married, he had never been back to the mansion several times, he saw it on the street, and he was also dignified and virtuous surrounded by everyone in the palace, and the Wanfu gesture on his waist had never been put down, and he would never see the eldest lady in the past.

After eating, official business was not in a hurry, so Liang Xiao accompanied Liang Fengmian for a walk in the back garden.

At the beginning of the year, I saw Liang Huanqing bring a large handful of gardenias, the yellow buds are white like goose yellow, the flower cluster is big, the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing, and it is really not annoying.

Liang Lin then brought flowers and seeds, and removed a large number of rich peonies from the back garden of the house, and planted gardenias, and now they are slim.

"Father, what are you going to do about King Jing?" Liang Xiao knew that Liang Fengmian had been fighting with Qi Jingqin for military power in the past few days, but he didn't have time to ask because of his duties, and now he asked casually when he was free.

Liang Fengmian glanced at him, and then said: "After everyone educates the royal palace and the general's mansion, I should stand in the same trench to deal with the East Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion, colleagues in the DPRK and China think so, the prince and Lu Gaohong think so, and even you think so, but this is normal." ”

Liang Lin was slightly surprised, in fact, when he saw that his father did not refuse the marriage with the palace, he began to think of standing on the side of the Jingwang faction, just like after the marriage between the Shuzhong palace and the East Palace, he naturally became a faction.

"That's... Didn't my father think so? Liang Xiao asked.

Liang Fengmian stopped, looked at Liang Lian's eyes, his expression was serious and serious, and he said, "I naturally think the same way. I'm afraid that the emperor will think so too. ”

“？” Liang Xiao looked at Liang Fengmian with a puzzled expression, puzzled, "What?" ”

"Prince Jing is young, and after marrying the general's mansion, he naturally wants to prove to the courtiers that I am from the same party as him, and he is in a hurry to divide the military power, firstly, he wants to set up a weather vane for the courtiers, and wants those courtiers who are as neutral as me to stand in his trenches, and secondly, to demonstrate to the East Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion." Liang Fengmian's eyes flashed with a scheming light, if he didn't become a military general, he would also be a very good strategist.

He said with a straight face: "But he forgot, this is also a demonstration to the emperor, so that the emperor can see his true intentions, and the emperor will no longer trust me." ”

"So father, you are..."Liang Xiao frowned and suddenly realized after listening, his brows gradually stretched, and he secretly sighed at his father's wit.

"That's right, the military power of the Celestial Empire is now in my hands alone, because of the emperor's trust in me, if the emperor wants me to give up part of the military power, I will obey it as a courtier." Liang Fengmian nodded and said.

"But if I want to complete the great affairs of King Jing, I must not lose the emperor's trust in me, if I easily give up the military power at this juncture, the emperor will definitely know that the general's mansion is now concentric with the palace, and he will not trust me as he did in the future. I am now fighting with Qi Jingqin, although it has made the palace lose face in front of the ministers, but in the long run, if I say anything good for King Jing in the future, the emperor will definitely be convinced. Liang Fengmian said.

Liang Lin smiled: "Father is wise. ”

"Huanqing is now a princess, and King Jing is both prosperous and lossy, I am willing to be the prince, willing to be glorious and rich, how can I be willing to be Huanqing." Liang Fengmian shook his head modestly.

"If my father wants to rejuvenate Qingqing, send someone to hand her a fold to the palace and invite her back to the mansion for a small gathering." Liang Lin could see that Liang Fengmian missed his sister, and he also missed his sister who he hadn't seen for a long time, "Anyway, the palace is not very far from the general's mansion, and living in the same imperial city is naturally not as hard as marrying far away." ”

"Not then." Liang Fengmian shook his head and walked towards the study with his hands behind his back, there were still many official documents that he had not read.

People are in high positions, and there are so many things to consider.

Liang Lin knew this, so he didn't say anything more, and then went back to his study.
