Recently, Cheng Engong and others have been jumping up and down in order to get the eldest prince back to Beijing from the south, and of course other courtiers are also watching it, and most of them are waiting and seeing.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the court.

The courtiers were puzzled by Cen Yin's "concession", and shocked that Feng Yan was going to the south to preside over the overall situation.

Cen Yin's two decisions about the southern realm are too unreasonable.

For a time, the civil and military officials were talking about it in private.

What kind of person is Feng Yan, that is the only son of Emperor Chongming's compatriot sister-in-law, Princess Anping.

Although it is said that the emperor killed his brother to seize the throne, after all, the emperor has been sitting in this position for eighteen years, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

For so many years, the emperor has been on guard against Anping and Feng Yan's mother and son, and in the past few years, he has basically given Feng Yan to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, letting him live with a group of gentlemen, obviously not wanting to give him any chance to make contributions.

If the emperor is not sick, it is conceivable that Feng Yan will probably live like this in his life.

But the emperor was sick.

And what is Cen Yin thinking?!

Not only did he decide to start a war with Beiyan when the emperor was seriously ill, but now he actually wants to send Feng Yan, who the emperor fears the most, to the south, and instead of taking an inconsequential position or being a substitute for the dead, he goes to the south to preside over the overall situation and take over the power!

Is Cen Yin planning to reuse the seal?

This thought made many people frightened.

Cen Yin's actions are inevitably too bold and unscrupulous, isn't he afraid that the emperor will wake up and blame him?!

Some people think that Cen Yin really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and some people secretly sigh in their hearts, with Cen Yin's current power and unambiguous attitude, even if the emperor wakes up at this time, can he really control Cen Yin?

In just a few days, there was a turmoil in the capital, some people were surprised, some people sighed, some people were uneasy, and some people just wanted to clear up the relationship...... Others were overjoyed.

For example, the Chengen Mansion.

"Grandpa Guo, great, our plan has succeeded!" A middle-aged scribe dressed in a straight shirt with a cyan bamboo leaf pattern smiled and arched his hand to Cheng Engong on the Luohan bed.

Cheng Engong was wearing a royal blue shirt, leaning diagonally on an Arhat bed, his flogging wounds had not healed, and the whole person still looked a little sickly.

However, people are in good spirits when they are happy.

Cheng Engong's spirit seems to be good, especially the brightness in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "This matter also depends on all of you to deal with it together!" "They've finally got the Great Prince back!

"Grandpa Guo, do you think we should 'take advantage of the victory and pursue'?" An old man with a goatee sat on a circle chair by the window and bowed his hand to ask for instructions.

"Cen Yin is really dizzy this time, and he actually made such a stupid move." Cheng Engong sneered thoughtfully, "But Cen Yin has given us a chance to do this." ”

Cheng Engong raised his eyes to look at the Tsing Yi scribe and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?" ”

After the staff surnamed Wang pondered for a while, he said slowly: "As Master Liao said, take advantage of the victory to pursue and use the topic to play!" ”

"Feng Yan is not as good as a weak crown, that is, a gentleman in Beijing, sending him to the south to preside over the overall situation, it is too child's play, so we will simply impeach Cen Yin This is to bury the great sheng."

As long as you make a big fuss about this, it is estimated that it will be enough for Cen Yin to be anxious for a while.

Lord Liao, who had a goatee, hurriedly nodded and said, "The next official will go to write the excerpt immediately when he goes back." ”

At this time, another middle-aged man in a blue straight shirt suddenly interjected: "Grandpa Guo, Cen Yin and Feng Yan have no contact, could it be that Cen Yin reused Feng Yan this time for the fourth girl of the Duanmu family?" ”

Everyone in the room was silent for a while, and subconsciously looked at each other.

The staff surnamed Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not impossible!" ”

From the civil and military officials in Beijing to those famous ladies, no one knows that Cen Yin spoils his righteous sister almost endlessly, not to mention Feng Yan, even Duanmu Xian can successfully become the first assistant, I am afraid that Cen Yin is also working hard behind this.

When Cheng Engong heard this, his spirits perked up, and he sat up from the Luohan bed suddenly, but he accidentally pulled the wound on his body that had not been healed, and Guozi's face was distorted.

The big girl on the side hurriedly went to help him, and adjusted the big pillow behind him.

The throbbing pain on his body made Cheng Engong think of the sturdy fifty flogs again, his face was pale, and the new hatred and old hatred were together.

"Good! So good! Cheng Engong slapped his palm on the small square table next to him, and the smile on his face was a hint of cruelty, "Now Cen Yin's sin is even greater, excluding dissidents, cronyism, and forming a party for personal gain!" ”

"Grandpa Guo is right!"

"He clearly put Dasheng's safety in danger!"

“……”

There was a chorus of echoes all around, united as one.

Cheng Engong's heart was full of joy and he smiled proudly.

Now Cen Yin is so towards Duanmu Fei, the righteous sister, for her, even the queen's face is beaten, but people are like this, when they like it, they hold it like a pearl in their palms; When you are disgusted, you are abandoned.

When the eldest prince returns to Beijing in the future, Cen Yin and the Duanmu family will turn against each other, and they will dislike Duanmu Fei!

How high that Duanmu Fei climbs now, how arrogant and arrogant he is, and how painful he will fall in the future.

A yellow-haired girl just relies on the support of eunuchs, and she doesn't even give the Xie family face, what's the matter, don't be ashamed to give face!

Cheng Engong took another sip of tea, calmed down a little, looked around at the people in the room, and said: "When the eldest prince comes back, someone must be needed to preside over the overall situation in the south......

Of course, it can't be a sealant.

If Feng Yan gets this opportunity and makes contributions in the southern border, then it will be equivalent to the eldest prince and the Duanmu family having Feng Yan's help.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Cheng Engong asked.

The others looked at each other again, only this time, but most of them were hesitant and clueless.

Cheng Engong also felt upset, whether it was present today or not, among the officials who had voted for the four princes now, there were no generals!

After thinking about it, Cheng Engong asked the staff surnamed Wang: "Mr. Wang, how did my father let you go to visit the Yang family and the Geng family last time?" ”

"Grandpa Guo, neither of the two families has given a clear reply," the staff member surnamed Wang replied with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, "However, when the subordinates looked at it, the Yang family seemed to be a little moved, and this Geng family ......" didn't bother at all.

He didn't say a word, but everyone present had already understood his unfinished words.

Cheng Engong twisted his brows, and secretly scolded the Geng family for not knowing how to lift, and deserved to be taken away from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Cheng Engong said lightly: "Then you will go to Yang's house again to try......

If the Yang family knows each other, they will give the Yang family this opportunity, and those who go to the south must be their own people, and they can also take this opportunity to get military power, which will be more beneficial to the four princes.

Lord Liao hesitated a little, and reminded: "Grandpa Guo, the third son of the Yang family is the son-in-law of the Duanmu family." ”

Of course, Cheng Engong knows, "Therefore, this father is looking for the Yang family's room, and the upper guard commands Yang Zhe." ”

Everyone was shocked.

As we all know, the original Qingyuan earldom of the Yang family belonged to Yang Hui of the Changfang, and later Yang Hui died, and he only had two concubines under his knees, that is, the two Yang Zhe brothers. The concubine could not inherit the title, so the title was inherited by Yang Xi, the second brother of Yang Hui, and the title of the Yang family was destroyed by Yang Xi.

The Yang family is afraid that they have been very unwilling all these years, and they want to find an opportunity to rise again in the court.

Lord Liao smiled and complimented Chengengong: "It's still Grandpa Guo who thinks about everything!" ”

Several generations of military generals of the Yang family, especially Yang Hui, who was once the governor of the Praetorian Guard, was deeply respected by the first emperor, and the Yang family also had a lot of connections in the army, Yang Zhe was indeed a good candidate.

"Mr. Wang, the Yang family's side will be handed over to you," Cheng Engong was also quite complacent, and said in a deep voice, "As for the rest, let's wait for the eldest prince to return to Beijing." ”

Only by putting the eldest prince on the stage and serving the four princes as a shield can they plan the next step.

"Grandpa Guo is wise!" Huo Di, a staff member surnamed Wang, stood up and waved his hand at Chengengong.

The other people in the room also got up one after another, complimenting Cheng Engong and me, and almost said that he would be Zhuge reincarnated.

Cheng Engong listened to it quite usefully, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, it was difficult to hide the smugness, and even the whipped place on his body didn't seem to hurt so much.

He only raised his hand slightly, and the eldest girl handed the teacup next to him observantly.

Cheng Engong drank tea, and the warmth flowed all over his body with the tea, and his whole body was a lot more comfortable and energetic.

A few days ago, everything did not go well, and he was beaten in public, and he suffered this great shame and became a laughing stock in Beijing.

He must let Cen Yin know that their Chengen Mansion is not a soft persimmon to be oppressed and manipulated!

He's endured it for so long, and it's time for this bad breath to come out!

On the same day, he signaled the imperial envoy Liao to the cabinet, saying that although Feng Yan had been trained in the northern army for two years, he was young and inexperienced, and in the last four years, he had spent his days idly in the five cities and horses, and he had no experience in marching or merit, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to take on the big responsibility, and he was not qualified to take charge of the power in the south.

Now that the southern army finally forced the Nanhuai people to retreat to the south of Zhidian Prefecture, the situation is very good, at this time, it is too hasty to send Feng Yan to the southern border, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will endanger the safety of the southern border!

This excerpt is naturally written euphemistically, but the sound outside the strings is obvious, and it almost reprimands Cen Yin for messing around, and he is playing with the safety of the southern border.

In fact, several cabinet ministers are also hesitating about this matter, and they have a lot of worries in their hearts.

First, because Feng Yan is indeed too young, and secondly, the emperor has always been afraid of Anping, although the emperor is in a coma now, but what if the emperor wakes up?

Feng Yan's going to the south is no better than Cen Yin's previous order to Wu Yanping and Zhang Wenche, the commanders of the Jinmen Guard, to go to Jinzhou.

Not only were the ministers entangled and hesitant, but the ministers also had their own opinions, and they were a little boiling for a while.

Of course, Cen Yin knew about these doubts outside, but he didn't care about it.

With Duanmuxian's understanding of Cen Yin, I am afraid that this matter is difficult to change.

So, that morning, Duanmu Fei knew about it from Duanmu Xian's mouth for the first time.

"......" Duanmu Fei opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised.

Duanmuxian looked at the little girl's surprised appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and his mood was much lighter.

His little granddaughter, often when he talks to her about important things in the court, she is always smiling, not shocked, as if she knew that it would be so.

Duanmu Fei just flashed slightly, and then he understood, and his mouth pursed slightly.

Yes, this is also a reasonable thing, with Feng Yan's temperament, he will not be willing to live in peace in the capital.

Originally, Feng Yan had arranged everything, and he could logically force the palace to take the throne, but the northern border fell too quickly, and Wang Junji of Xianjian died in battle, and the northern border was in danger. For the sake of Dasheng, Feng Yan gave up all the advantages he had arranged before, so he now had to take a more bumpy road.

So much has happened in these months......

When the wind blew, the shadows of the swaying trees outside the window were reflected in Duanmu's dark pupils, reflecting her bright and dark eyes.

Duanmu clenched his fists unconsciously.

Although she understands everything, she understands it, and her heart is still a little depressed.

This feeling is very complicated, and very strange, distressed, helpless, and missing...... At this time, she suddenly wanted to ...... I really want to see Feng Yan.

Duanmu Xian watched his little granddaughter become wilted like a delicate flower lacking water in a snap of his fingers, on the one hand, he was distressed, and on the other hand, he secretly sighed that the woman was not left.

Also, the fiancé is about to go to the battlefield, how can a girl's family not worry!

Duanmu Xian sighed secretly in his heart, cleared his throat, and comforted Duanmu Fei: "Four girls, don't worry too much. ”

Lose sleep over something? What was she worried about? Duanmu blinked slowly, a little dazed.

Duanmuxian looked at the little girl's stupid appearance, and was even more distressed, and analyzed in a good voice:

"Four girls, now that most of the southern border has been recovered, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, the Nanhuai people are just the end of the strong crossbow, and they can't become any climate, it should be a matter of time before they are beaten out of the southern border."

"Ah Yan won't have anything to do when he goes to the south at this time, think about it, your cousin has been in the south for more than two years, isn't it okay."

"And...... He may not be able to make it yet. ”

Duanmu Xian comforted Duanmu Fei so much on his lips, but he knew clearly in his heart that Feng Yan would most likely succeed.

"......" Duanmu Fei was comforted by her grandfather inexplicably at first, and after listening to it, she reacted.

It turns out that my grandfather thought about it!

She tried to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind, and her eyes rolled with a hint of fox-like cunning.

Duanmuxian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking sad and worried, Duanmuxian felt distressed.

Duanmuxian handed her a plate of chestnut crisp in his hand, "Four girls, eat some chestnut crisp." ”

"Oops, this chestnut is cold...... Scholar, go get some snacks for the four girls! ”

Duanmu Fei shook her head, "Grandfather, don't need it......" She slept with Han Xing until three poles in the sun today, and she had only eaten breakfast for a short time, and she ate a lot of snacks, and her stomach was holding up.

Duanmuxian thought that her little granddaughter had no appetite because she was worried, so she thought about it and said, "Fourth girl, I recently got a painting of Wang Shu'an, do you want it?" ”

Wang Shu'an?! Duanmufei's eyes lit up like a lit lantern all at once. Wang Shu'an is the younger brother of the book saint Wang Shuyun, the two brothers have a good word and a good painting, and they are called a double saint.

"Yes!"

Absolutely!

Duanmu Fei nodded again and again, looking at Duanmu Xian with burning eyes.

Originally, she just wanted to coax a few calligraphy sheets, chess games or something from her grandfather, but she didn't expect to have an unexpected joy.

Duanmu Xian looked at himself and coaxed his little granddaughter in a few words, and was proud in his heart, and hurriedly instructed Shuxiang to get the painting.

After a cup of tea, Duanmu happily hugged the scroll and left.

Looking at the brisk back of the little girl, Duanmuxian stroked his beard and thought with emotion: The four girls are so well-behaved and sensible!

Hey, everything is bad for the emperor, the four girls are young, the emperor is actually worried about it, and he has to give marriage!

It's a pity that this family business has a holy decree, otherwise, he can also learn from the Zhang family, and simply don't recognize it.

Hmph, my little granddaughter is good everywhere, why is it cheap to Feng Yan, that stinky boy!

Duanmu Xian sighed silently.

At this time, Duanmufei had already walked out of the outer study, and she was also thinking about Feng Yan in her heart.

At this time, it was only more than half of the hour, the sun hung high in the sky, the sun was warm, and it was very comfortable.

Although Duanmu Xian just said that it is difficult to say whether Feng Yan can succeed, Duanmu Fei naturally knows that Feng Yan will definitely succeed.

Moreover, since Cen Yin opened his mouth, Feng Yan thought that he would soon set off.

There is still war going on in the south......

Duanmu Fei stopped without warning, and Bi Cicada, who was following her, almost collided and stopped less than an inch away from her.

Duanmu Fei didn't realize it, she remembered that the last time Jun Ran went on the expedition, Wuyang prepared a lot of things for him.

In addition to clothes and shoes, there are also items such as gold silk soft nails, commonly used medicines, water bladders, and so on.

This golden silk soft armor is cumbersome to make, and it may not be in time, so she should go and ask for Zhang Ping'an Talisman first!

Duanmu Fei made up his mind, so he didn't want to delay at all, and instructed Bi Chan: "Bi Chan, you let people send my painting back to Zhanqing Courtyard, and then go to prepare a horse for me, I want to go out." ”

"Girl, slave and maid will go." Bi Cicada immediately took the order and trotted away.

When Duanmufei arrived at Yimen, not only was the horse ready, but Feipian also brought an extra "little tail".

"Scarlet cousin!" Han Xing held Shuangxuan in one hand, and waved happily at Duanmu Fei with the other, "Where are you going to play?" Hongu is going too! "If she hadn't happened to be playing with Feipin and Shuang Xuan at the stable, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known that Cousin Scarlet was going out!

"Boom!" Feipian screamed happily twice, flicking her long ponytail, as if she was cheering for Hanxing.

"I'm going to go to Huangjue Temple to ask Ah Yan for a peace charm, and I'll be back soon."

"It's better to go out and breathe than to be at home! Feipian, don't you say? ”

"Boom!"

"Feipian, it's still hello, it's not like Xiaoba, I don't know where I've been hiding for the past two days......"

“……”

Duanmu Fei looked at Han Xing indescribably, what did Han Xing do to provoke that little ancestor?

Duanmu covered her mouth, her shoulders shook with laughter, and when she saw Hanxing raising her eyebrows and looking at her, she hurriedly turned over and got on the horse.

"Let's go."

The cousins went out in a hurry and rode to the Huangjue Temple together.

Huangjue Temple in September, the maple is red like fire, the cigarette smoke is swirling, there are not many pilgrims today, there is quite a quiet feeling of Buddhism.

For the Huangjue Temple, they are too familiar, casually sent the little novice to help them watch the horses, they are familiar with the way into the temple, first go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to incense, and add sesame oil money, ask for peace charms.

Duanmu Fei held the peace charm, hooked her lips with satisfaction, carefully received it into the purse embroidered with lotus flowers, pondered in her heart, and sewed it into the sachet she made for Feng Yan when she went back. By the way, the spices in the sachet have to be changed, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the south, and she has to change a formula that can repel insects.

She remembered that there was an incense recipe called Jiuli Xiang in "Royal Fragrance Spectrum", and the spices at home seemed to be just enough......

Han Xing saw Duanmu looking down at the purse on her waist in a daze, and felt that she must be thinking about Cousin Yan.

Cousin Yan's life is really good, and I don't know what virtue he has accumulated in his previous life, and he can actually marry her scarlet cousin!

Han Xing's thinking was divergent, and he thought of Li Tingyou from Feng Yan to himself, and thought: I don't know when Cousin You will be off......

"Scarlet cousin, do you think this palace should also ask for one?" Han Xing suddenly asked.

Duanmu Fei raised his head and blinked, still distracted thinking about Jiuli Xiang's formula, and didn't understand what Han Xing meant.

Han Xing raised an index finger and said eloquently: "You begged, the eldest sister also begged, and the palace also had to ask for one...... Maybe," her eyes rolled, indescribably smart and delicate, "Maybe Cousin You will leave one day, Bengong will ask for it first, and then run later." ”

"......" Duanmu looked at Han Xing speechlessly.

Han Xing thought back to what he had just said, and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words: "After all, this palace is usually in the palace, and it is inconvenient to think of it, so it is better to ask for it earlier." ”

"......" Duanmu Fei was silent, and naturally saw that Han Xing was just idle and had nothing to do.

When Hanxing also asked for a peace charm, it was only a short stick of incense, and it was still early.

"Cousin Scarlet, should we go to King Jian's Mansion?" Han Xing asked hesitantly, and after a pause, he said, "Recently, Duchess Chengen has been entering the palace almost every day......

Between the words, the little novice of Huangjue Temple helped the two girls to lead the horses, Duanmu Fei and Hanxing often come to Huangjue Temple, almost all the monks in the temple know them, between words and deeds, they are more polite than ordinary people.

Duanmu took the reins of Feipian and gently stroked it twice on its slender and graceful neck.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood what Han Xing meant, the queen has been getting more and more dizzy by the Cheng'en Mansion these days, and Han Xing wants to go to Wuyang to persuade the queen.

It's just that......

"Cousin Hanxing, you don't know yet, do you? Sister Wuyang has not been in the capital recently, a few days ago, Princess Jian went to live in Jianning Temple, and chanted for King Jian, Sister Wuyang and Xiaoxi both went together. ”

Actually, not only did Han Xing have this idea, Duanmu Fei also wanted to go to King Jian's Mansion to find Wuyang before, but he sent someone to King Jian's Mansion to inquire and found out that the three masters of King Jian's Mansion were not in Beijing.

Han Xing's shoulders collapsed suddenly, and now, she couldn't help it.

She pouted, and while getting on the horse, she muttered, "If only the Duchess of Chengen could not enter the palace......"

Originally, the queen's temper has always been good, and she still has some face-saving affection for their concubines.

Hanxing and Wuyang are good friends, and the queen is considered to love the house and Wu, and she is two points closer to her than to other princesses, but since Duchess Chengen has been in the palace from time to time, now when the queen sees her, it is as if she is looking at a poisonous snake, as if she is ...... It was as if she was ready to open her mouth and bite someone with her fangs.

Han Xing wrinkled his little face.

However, since the eldest sister is not in Beijing, it is useless to dwell on these things by herself, let's talk about it later.

Han Xing has always thought about it, anyway, when the sky falls, there are people taller than her to support it.

She's better to take care of herself.

"Cousin Scarlet," Han Xing drove the frost under his crotch to Lean towards Duanmu Fei, so that the two horses were almost next to each other, "You see it's still early, it's hard to come out, where to play?" ”

Duanmufei didn't plan to go back like this, pinching his chin and pondering.

Well, I watched the play the day before yesterday, and I walked around the street yesterday, and she really didn't know where to go for a while.

Duanmu Fei thought about it, watched Feipian and Shuangxuan rubbing each other affectionately, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and stroked his palm: "Cousin Hanxing, should we go to see the horse market?" ”

"The horse market is just outside Fangjian Town, just at the junction of western Beijing and Jizhou, and we should be able to get there after more than an hour of horseback riding."
