450 defeated

Duanmu Jun cleared his throat, and the words changed: "Zhen Zhen, if you want to go out in the next two days, you'd better bring a few guards, when I went out, I saw a few generals on the street with people on a rampage......"

As he spoke, Duanmu Jun frowned slightly, remembering that some people were implicated in the brawl between the generals and the three of them lost their lives. It's been a bit of a mess in Kyori lately......

"Sister, I haven't been going out lately." Duanmufei said obediently, remembering another thing in her mind, she remembered that her grandfather Duanmuxian casually mentioned a few days ago that today was the day of Ding Zhongqing and Mao Renhong's execution.

In this way, are the military attaches under the Governor's Office of the Five Armies making trouble?

Well, it seems that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is going to be more troublesome now.

Duanmu Fei accidentally thought of the scene on the Crane Shadow Mountain in Huangjue Temple on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and his little face was a little entangled.

She hurriedly emptied her mind and said to herself, why do you want to have these things, or think about Jiangnan, the scenery of Jiangnan is good, she has long wanted to see the West Lake where "the water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy", the Hanshan Temple where "the moon falls and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping", and the Yellow Crane Tower of Snake Mountain where "the people of the past have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is empty here......

Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei was already itching, and he couldn't wait to set off immediately.

Duanmujun looked at his sister, thinking that his sister was about to go out again, and began to worry again, "Zhen Zhen, I estimate that when you get to Jiangnan, I'm afraid it's late autumn, so I still have to bring more winter clothes, silver frost charcoal, and a hand stove when I go out this time...... I've heard that the winters in the south are not warmer than in the north, and they are very wet and cold. ”

"It's easy to get cold in winter, so I have to ask people to prepare more ginger, brown sugar and honeysuckle tea......"

Thinking about it like this, Duanmu Jun felt that he still hadn't prepared his things, and told Wisteria to bring the luggage list.

Duanmujun was busy preparing, sorting out his sister's luggage for travel, and making sure to bring everything.

The boxes were opened and closed several times by Duanmu, and each time the boxes were opened, the little starling and the little fox would come over to see the excitement, and the two little ones waited on the window sill every day to watch with relish.

Duanmujun is very busy, Duanmufei is also very busy, she touches the light every day, she can't put it down, she is busy designing buttons for it, and she is not satisfied with many foxes, the little starling is angry, and she jumps to supervise Duanmufei and also paints several starlings.

Jin Se thought it was interesting, and according to the drawings drawn by Duanmu Fei, she sewed a few starling puppets for the little starling, it was satisfied, Duanmu Fei was still not satisfied, and always felt that something was missing, so she took this light with her wherever she went, took it out from time to time, touched it, and rewarded it......

That evening, when she was playing chess with Duanmu Xian, she accidentally touched the light freeze again.

Of course, Duanmu Xian knew who sent this light jelly, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he felt an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart.

"Smack!"

Duanmu Xian dropped a sunspot on the dotted chessboard, and said casually: "A few days ago, Ding Zhongqing and Mao Renhong were executed at the noon gate, and several generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and Wei Guogong made a big fuss at the execution ground......

Duanmu picked up a white child, and dropped it casually without thinking about it, and then, she looked up at Duanmu Xian with great interest, her eyes were shining, as if urging him to continue.

Duanmuxian hooked his lips triumphantly, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and said in his heart: Feng Yan's stinky boy still wants to compare with himself, he has already asked people to find the best Feng Men Qing from both sides, and when the time comes, he will definitely freeze the light of Feng Yan. The fourth girl must feel that her grandfather has the ability!

Duanmuxian remained silent, and continued to talk to Duanmu Fei about the follow-up after the execution at Noon, saying that the Weiguo Mansion is now facing internal and external troubles, under the instigation of Huang Shiyang and several others, a group of military attaches who were still in the capital rushed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies several times, asking Geng Anhui to give an explanation, and some people openly and secretly accused Geng Anhui of being difficult to take on the big job, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was torn apart.

“…… Wei Guogong has proposed this morning that Jun Shizi should take over the debriefing, evaluation, and appointment and dismissal of military attachés, and the emperor has granted it. Duanmuxian said with a dry mouth, and took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Duanmu Xian looked at the black and white chess pieces crisscrossing the chessboard with a solemn expression.

Seemingly......

He's losing again.

Duanmuxian picked up another sunspot, and it didn't fall for a long time.

As soon as Duanmu Fei heard Yuan Weigang, he looked away weakly, and subconsciously rubbed the light freeze on his hand again, and immediately figured it out.

In the past few months, there have been quite a few military attaches who have come to Beijing to report on their work, and these people have repeatedly put pressure on Geng Anhao, so he will consider taking a step back and handing over the military attaché's debriefing, appointment and dismissal to appease these military attachés.

But if it is handed over to the officials, it is equivalent to handing over the authority of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to others, and I am afraid that Geng Anhui will not be willing.

Whether it is for the emperor or Geng Anhao, Junran is a relatively acceptable balance point after weighing and making trade-offs.

What a calculation!

Duanmu squinted, looking at the sparkling turquoise tea soup, his thoughts racing.

Someone was afraid that he had calculated the thoughts of the emperor and Geng Anhao, and placed Jun Ran's move in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies early, which became the second choice for both parties.

But......

"Grandfather, it should be more than just the prince of the king, right?"

With the emperor's suspicious temperament, he has always been quite jealous of King Jian's mansion, and it is impossible to trust Jun Ran wholeheartedly.

The four girls in their own family are smart and smart! Duanmu Xian hooked his lips, and a smile of appreciation appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The emperor asked Mu Jinfan to assist from the side." ”

It is said to be assisting, that is, to watch first, and when the right time comes, then slowly divide power.

"The emperor's choice of Mu Jinfan has also been carefully considered, if he sends someone too old, he is afraid that Jun Ran will be disgusted and leave. Mu Jinfan is different, his surname is Mu, the emperor can be trusted, and besides, at a young age, Jun Ran will not be too disgusted, thinking that the emperor is deliberately looking for someone to suppress him......"

"......" Duanmu Fei looked at Duanmu Xian indescribably, and just wanted to laugh "hehe".

Grandfather is so naïve and innocent!

Forget it, she still drinks tea. The court or something, what's the matter with her, a boudoir woman!

That's right. Duanmufei picked up the teacup again.

Duanmu Xian played with the sunspot in his hand, frowning slightly, this chess path was almost blocked by the four girls, this girl is always so ruthless in chess, and she doesn't know how to put some water on her grandfather......

Duanmu Xian complained in his heart, and said with emotion: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, this time it is a complete defeat. ”

Or should I say the Geng family, this game of chess...... The Geng family was defeated.

Having lost the right to appoint and dismiss military attachés, then why does the Patriotic Mansion still have a transcendent position among military attachés in the future?!

Geng Anhao is now forced to be anxious, he can't take care of these, he just wants to get through the difficulties in front of him, he only thinks about sitting in the position of the governor of the five armies as soon as possible, and he only wants to take back the rights that belong to him in the future, but he forgets that once some things are lost, if he wants to get them back in the future, it will not be so easy!!

This is like a war of equal strength, and if either side wants to win, the right time and place are indispensable.

Since ancient times, if the monarch is strong, the minister is weak, and if the monarch is weak, the minister is strong.

Geng Anhui wants to wait until the "king is weak", then he must need to hibernat, need to wait, need to forbear, and need to plan...... Maybe it's ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe longer......

Besides, judging from the heart shown by Geng Anhui now, can he have the courage to lie down and taste the guts?!

Duanmuxian shook his head, and finally admitted defeat.

The overall situation of this game has been decided, and there is no possibility of turning the game around!

Grandfather gave up so quickly. Duanmu Fei thought with some regret, obviously there is still a way to live......

Duanmu Fei felt that this game of chess was still a little unpleasant, well, after returning to Zhanqing Courtyard later, she would put the chess out again and play it with herself.

Wait a minute!

Duanmu Fei's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered a poem: "Black and white spotted black heron." "Go is also known as the black heron, the black son is like a crow, and the white child is like a heron, do you want to engrave the heron on this seal button!

Duanmu Fei looked down at the light frozen in his left hand, and his eyes lit up.

Duanmuxian looked at the sky outside and it was still early, and originally wanted to have another game with Duanmufei, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw the light in Duanmufei's hand frozen, and his heart was not happy again, so he changed his words: "Four girls, are your luggage ready?" ”

Duanmu Fei was composing a picture in his heart, and counted his fingers and said: "My sister has prepared all for me, clothes, jewelry, brocade quilts, four treasures of the study, books, and various utensils...... There were thirty or forty chests. ”

Duanmu Xian thought about his granddaughter going out alone for the first time, alone, the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor was unreliable.

After thinking about it, Duanmu Xian Zhengse said: "Four girls, I see that you still have less luggage, and I still have a few boxes of antique calligraphy and painting books in my warehouse, and it is a long way to go to Jiangnan, and there is still a lot of work to be spent on water, so I am bored, so you can also take these with you, so you can spend time on the road." ”

"......" Duanmu Fei could only laugh, thought about it, and said weakly after considering the words, "Grandfather, I have seen too many things, and it is troublesome to move around on the road......

"Where do you need to worry about these things?" Duanmu Xian stroked his beard and said as a matter of course, "If the kid surnamed Feng can't even do this little thing, what else do you want him to do?!" ”

He was still thinking in his heart: Also, the door seal also has to be urged, it is best to surprise the four girls before they travel, and it is also regarded as a birthday gift for her in advance.

"......" Duanmufei wanted to say that if there was anything missing, you could buy it on the road, and you could find someone to borrow a book or something, but before she could say it, Duanmuxian had already started chattering again, "Come back and ask your sister to bring the luggage list she prepared for me to see." Although your sister is careful, she didn't go to Jiangnan after all, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions...... Grandfather does the checks for you. ”

This little thing is not practical. Duanmu Fei said silently in his heart, but seeing Duanmu Xian wanting to show himself with great interest, he was relieved again.

Forget it, it's pitiful enough that my grandfather can't go to Jiangnan, I have to let him have some fun, she is the most filial granddaughter!

It's good that everyone is happy, why should she be disappointed!

Indeed, the whole court was quite happy, except for Geng Anhao.

Especially the emperor.

For the emperor, although Geng Hai is dead, but the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has always been a thorn in the flesh, how to look at it is not pleasing to the eye, and now he can be so open-minded and take advantage of the internal fighting of their Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to slash the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the emperor is very happy.

Although for a while, he still can't wipe out the Geng family, but it seems that it is not bad to grind slowly like this, and watch the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies fall little by little like the twilight.

If Geng Hai has a spirit in the sky, and sees the Geng family and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies end up like this, I am afraid that he will be a ghost and will not be at peace, this is the end he should have if he betrayed himself!!

In just a few days, the emperor looked several years younger, and set off for the southern tour in high spirits.

Early in the morning of September 20, the carriage of the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion came to Duanmu Mansion to pick up Duanmu Fei, and Feng Yan naturally came to escort him in person.

"Zhenzhen, you have to be careful when you go out."

"It's definitely not as comfortable outside as at home, if you have any discomfort, don't bear it, you must tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"Zhenzhen, you have to write to me often, and I will write to you too......"

Duanmu Jun held his sister's hand affectionately, and told him with care, with a reluctant look.

In the past, my sister also went to the autumn hunt and summer vacation with the emperor, but that was at most a matter of a month, and it was not too far away......

Later, Duanmujun's eyes became red, and the corners of his eyes were faintly moist.

Seeing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly persuaded first: "Big girl, the fourth girl is just going out to play, and she will be back soon......" Looking at the appearance of the eldest girl, Mama Zhang can almost imagine that when the fourth girl gets married in the future, the eldest girl is afraid that she will cry a lot.

Wisteria, pothos and other maids are also laughing on the side, enlivening the atmosphere.

Duanmufei looked at Duanmujun, his eyes were also sour, and he said obediently: "Sister, I will definitely take care of myself, don't worry, your sister I will not suffer anything or suffer!" She deliberately made Duanmu Jun happy, "Sister, you also have to take good care of yourself, but don't be so busy that I forget to eat and sleep because I'm not there!" ”

Saying that, Duanmu Fei looked at Wisteria and said, "Wisteria, you have to help me watch my sister, if my sister is disobedient, you will ...... Just tell Big Brother! "Big brother is the best at training people.

Duanmufei's last sentence swept away the sadness of parting in the original atmosphere, Duanmujun couldn't help but hook his lips, stretched out his slender finger and pointed at Duanmufei's forehead.

Duanmu Fei held Duanmu's arm, rubbed her sister affectionately, and sprinkled for a while.

Feng Yan, who was standing next to the Zhulun car, looked at Duanmu Fei with straight eyes, and couldn't help but think in his heart: When can Zhen Zhen be so coquettish to herself?!

Thinking of that picture, Feng Yan's ears were a little hot, and he looked away slightly.

An Ping bystander Qing in the Zhulun saw the subtle change in his son's expression, and his shoulders shook with laughter. It's fun to go to Jiangnan this time.

Duanmujun was so rubbed by her sister that her heart was about to melt, but at this time, her reason had returned, and she rubbed the top of her sister's soft hair and said, "Zhenzhen, the time is almost up, you should also set off with Feng Gongzi." ”

Duanmufei didn't realize that Feng Yan and An Ping were also here until this moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, it was natural for her to be coquettish with her sister!

Feng Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry. Anyway, there are so many people, it takes more than half an hour to go out of the city, and no one will notice us. He was very knowledgeable and looked at Duanmu Fei with a flattering face.

Although he said that, Duanmujun was embarrassed to let An Ping wait for a long time, so he personally pulled his sister to the carriage and urged her to get into the carriage.

Duanmufei poked her head out of the window on the side of the carriage and reluctantly waved goodbye to Duanmujun and Mama Zhang.

The Zhulun drove out of the main gate without hurrying out of everyone's eyes, and a series of carriages from Duanmu Mansion followed slowly behind, and there were more than 20 cars in the two mansions combined, occupying most of the Quanyu Street.

Duanmu Jun stood at the Yimen for a long time, until he couldn't hear the sound of the wheels of the cars at all, and the main gate of Duanmu Mansion closed with a "squeak".

The group of chariots and horses went all the way in the direction of the south city gate, and it was only halfway through the hour, and the sky was blue like a wash, the sun was rising, and the occasional convoy of other mansions could be encountered on the street, all heading in the same direction as if they were returning to their ancestors.

When Anping, Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei arrived at the South City Gate, it was already bustling there, and at a glance, it was a dense crowd of people, cars and horses, and it was noisy.

The emperor's chariot had not yet arrived, but those forbidden troops in bronze helmets and iron armor had already begun to clear the road along the way, ten steps and one post, and the streets leading to the south gate suddenly became empty, and those people who came to see the excitement were blocked on both sides of the street.

In the distance, there was the sound of rumbling carriages and horses, and the bright yellow flag of the Son of Heaven swayed in the air, dancing with the wind.

The emperor's chariot got closer and closer, and drove away from the city gate in the middle of the surrounding people's send-off, and immediately after, the other nobles and ministers of the clan also followed behind the dragon chariot according to their ranks. As the emperor's eldest sister, Anping is naturally noble, however, before her Zhulun car has moved, she sees a waiter in Tsing Yi coming in a hurry.

"Commander Feng," the chamberlain bowed his hand respectfully and politely to Feng Yan, and his voice was shrill and thin, "The emperor ordered our family to send a message to you......"

Feng Yan chuckled in his heart, and he had a bad premonition when he landed.

And this hunch was soon fulfilled......

Half an hour later, all the chariots and horses near the city gate had gone seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and thousands of chariots and horses left in a majestic voice, and everywhere they passed, it was like thunder roaring, and ten thousand horses galloping, which was magnificent.

Although she stayed in the carriage, Duanmufei was not bored, firstly, she was accompanied by Anping, and secondly, this was her first time going south, and it was very interesting to see everything.

Outside, the autumn air is high and cool, the autumn breeze blows, and from time to time you can see the purple and red autumn chrysanthemum on the roadside, the red maple that is as red as fire, the golden rice field, and the fragrance of osmanthus, which is beautiful.

Traveling with the emperor, the trouble is that there are many people, and the huge convoy is like a behemoth, which must move forward according to a fixed itinerary and route, which is not flexible enough; The advantage is that it is worry-free enough, there is a forbidden army in front of you to open the way and make arrangements, Duanmufei only needs to go with the flow, and it is lively enough.

"Scarlet cousin, let's go horseback riding!"

Han Xing rode towards Anping's Zhulun car, and waved to Duanmu Fei with her eyebrows, and she was followed by five or six people, including the second princess Qianyue, the third princess Shu Yun, the fourth prince Mu Youyi, and the county lord of Dangui...... And Li Tingyu. This time, Wuyang didn't go with him.

Han Xing said and looked around strangely, and said suspiciously, "Where is Cousin Yan?" "It's strange, Cousin Yan has always been the little tail of Cousin Scarlet!

"Cousin You, didn't Cousin Yan come?" Han Xing turned his head to Li Tingyou in the rear and asked casually.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Tingyou's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say how he knew if Feng Yan had come or not, and besides, he was not her cousin!

Duanmufei's gaze scanned back and forth between the two, and without thinking much about it, he replied: "He was left in Beijing by the emperor on an errand, and he will catch up in a few days." ”

"Poor Cousin Yan!" Han Xing sympathized with Feng Yan's three breaths, and then smiled and pestered Duanmu Fei to hurry up to walk the horse.

An Ping smiled and waved his hand to let Duanmu Fei go play, don't be restrained, and secretly held sympathy tears for his son in his heart.

After a while, Duanmu Fei rode on Feipian and rode a horse with Han Xing, Li Tingyou and others on a trail on the side of the official road accompanied by a Tsing Yi chamberlain.

The Tsing Yi chamberlain and Duanmu Fei rode their horses in parallel, and said very attentively: "Fourth girl, today at noon, I will take a break in a Huangzhuang twenty miles away, and then continue on the road after lunch...... The four girls can ride slowly and are not in a hurry. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for the point." Duanmu said with a smile.

The waiter in Tsing Yi smiled even more flatteringly, "The four girls are more polite, the little one is surnamed Yuan, and the girl calls the little one Xiao Yuanzi." ”

Han Xing, who was in front, saw that Duanmu Fei was at the back, and turned around with Dangui to call her excitedly, and proposed with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, there is no one else on this road, let's race horses!" How about ending at the next fork in the road? ”

It's a horse in a horse race, and your own flying flying is good, and you will definitely win. Duanmufei's eyes were shining, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, okay, do you want to bet on a lottery?" ”

She laughed with great interest, and the flying flutter under her crotch seemed to cheer her on, and she screamed twice.

Everyone else chimed in, and all of them made bold bets.

"Xiao Feipian, you want to let the rouge of the palace." Hanxing said a word to Fei Pian jokingly, and suddenly noticed the new harness on Fei Pian's body, examined it carefully, and praised, "This harness is really beautiful!" ”

Feipian screamed a few more times, her upper lip rolled over, and she was in a better mood.

Duanmu scarlet shook the whip in his hand triumphantly, with a hint of showing off, "This is the new customized harness that my sister just gave me two days ago, and I and Feipian can use it!" ”

However, the horse is a thousand miles of BMW, and the harness is also a high-quality one, but Duanmu Fei and Feipian still lose.

Everyone else had already galloped away, but she and Feipin had been spinning in circles.

"Baby......"

Feipian twisted his neck and refused to move forward, there was a coquettish taste in his voice, Duanmu Fei knew that it was asking for candy to eat when he heard it!

"Feipian, you've eaten two pieces of maltose in the morning, and if you eat it again, you'll have worm teeth." Duanmu Fei patiently touched its slender neck and reasoned with it.

Feipian didn't follow and continued to bark, as if to say, if you want the horse to run, how can you not give the horse candy?!

In the end, Duanmufei promised to give it a Zhu Zhu at noon, and finally coaxed the horse to spread its hooves, but the other horses were already a mile or two ahead, Duanmufei was the last to cross the finish line, and she presented her colorful head - a white jade ring with a carved white fox.

Poor Scarlet Cousin! Although Han Xing sympathized with Duanmu Fei in his heart, he still had to accept this color.

"Concession and concession." Han Xing arched his hand and couldn't put it down, playing with this piece of white jade ring.

Although the jade quality of this Hetian white jade ring is not the best, however, this ring is carved by Duanmu Fei himself, and the round ring is elegantly and softly wrapped around a white fox with closed eyes, and the fluffy white tail is slightly upturned, which is interesting and cute and smart.

The more Han Xing looked at it, the more he liked it, and immediately wore it on his waist. Today is really a blessing for Feipian, and when she turns around, she will reward it and eat a few Zhu Zhu.

Hanxing and Duanmu Fei talked and laughed, and said a lot of good things to Feipian, not far away, the third princess Shu Yun looked at Duanmu Fei coldly, with a faint disdain on her face.
