The 20,000 horsemen of Zhenguo Gong came to the city of Beiping, and the political envoy of Shuntianfu, Lord Pan, had never stood in line, but it was difficult to make a decision at this time.

summoned the commander and the envoy to discuss, and both of them sided with the queen's faction, which was the founding mansion.

The commanding envoy Lord Feng glanced at Lord Yin, the envoy of Ancha, cleared his throat, and said to Lord Pan with a straight expression: "This mess was caused by the nameless woman in the palace, and it has nothing to do with us, so it is better to let the palace solve it on its own." ”

The envoy of Ancha drooped his eyelids and echoed, "It is said that it should be so. ”

Master Pan's face suddenly darkened a little: "In Shuntian Mansion, this military and political matter has nothing to do with the palace, and whether the city gate is opened or not is up to the three of us to have the final say." Lord Feng, your soldiers are guarding the city gate, is it possible to let the palace give orders to your soldiers? ”

Lord Yin echoed again: "What the Lord said is reasonable, this is indeed a dilemma. ”

Lord Feng was angry, glanced at Lord Yin and said, "Old Yin, what is your position?" Could it be that I asked Zhenguo Gong to lead his troops to guard outside the city? ”

Lord Yin spread his hands: "I don't mean that, Lord Feng is really wrong." ”

The political envoy Pan looked at these two people, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, and he couldn't take these two fools to the palace at this time, Originally, His Royal Highness King Yan was out on the expedition, and there was only a nameless little woman at home.

If this matter is said, it is estimated that the emperor will spare them or not, but the people of Shuntian are going to laugh and lose their big teeth.

So he thought about it, and at the suggestion of Lord Yin, the envoy of Ancha, he decided to ask Lord Qiao who was drinking in the inn.

Lord Qiao had already hid when he heard about this, he knew very well the ability of several adults in this Shuntian Mansion, and he must have found him and forced him to be the master.

But this is not afraid of good things, I am afraid that there are good people, Lord Qiao hid in the Jade Jin Pavilion, and he didn't eat a cup of flowers and wine, so he listened and didn't know which grandson shouted: "Lord Qin Cha Qiao is on the second floor, in the house of Miss Bi Tao." ”

So Lord Qiao didn't even have time to run again, and he was blocked into the house by the three adults of Shuntianfu.

"Lord Qiao, Zhen Guogong led 20,000 soldiers and horses outside Beiping City, saying that he was going to enter the city to retrieve the coffin of the little prince."

Master Qiao held the wine cup in his hand, drank two while Lord Pan was speaking, and then squinted his eyes and stood up slowly, waved his hand and said, "Is there such a thing?" Then what kind of flower wine are the three of you still coming to eat, and you don't think about how to deal with it? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and in the end, the impulsive command made Lord Feng speak: "There is no such precedent, and the three of us really can't think of a way to deal with it, so we came to ask the lord for instructions, and asked the adults to make it clear." ”

Master Qiao, who had already stood up, sat down again, hugged Bi Tao next to him, picked up the wine cup and poured it in.

Master Pan couldn't hold back, bowed forward and said, "There is no precedent for this matter to follow, and I can't wait until I come to ask my lord." Now in this situation, if the city is really attacked, the defenders of Beiping City will not dare to fight back easily, for fear of angering the Zhenguo Gong, after all, there is Lord Yang of Banzhou there, and the people in this city are worried, my lord! ”

The other two foreign countries also echoed, especially Lord Feng said: "Lord Qiao is drinking in this Jade Jin Pavilion at this critical juncture in Beiping City, I don't dare to play the emperor in this matter, but I can't guarantee that this person will gossip a lot." ”

Master Qiao, who was squinting his eyes and hugging the peach girl, immediately dropped the wine cup when he heard this, glared at the beads of his eyes and scolded angrily: "The safety of Beiping City is the responsibility of the three of you, why don't the officials make a decision today, right, then what's the use of the three of you?" ”

The three of them knelt down with a thud, Master Pan put his head on his hands, and said: "The lower officials can't make a decision on this matter, if the emperor is held accountable afterwards, the lower officials will invite themselves to return to their hometowns." ”

Lord Qiao's eyes rolled, he got up and brushed his sleeves, and said, "The three of you go back, the official will go to the city gate to have a look, and go back to the political envoy yamen to discuss and then decide." ”

Master Pan confessed again before getting up, and the other two also got up and dodged Master Rong Qiao.

When I went downstairs and saw Lord Qiao get into the carriage, Lord Yin, who had been silent, said in a low voice: "If he goes to sell the favor of Zhenguo Gong, the three of us will not be put in today, I will offend Zhenguo Gong!" ”

Master Pan glanced at him, and then at the carriage that was creaking in the direction of the city gate.

The commander made Master Feng impatient, and immediately said: "If you want to sell favors, it is better to sell them together, and wait for him to open our city gate, and when he turns around, he has made friends with the Zhenguo Mansion, and I will be held accountable by the emperor." ”

With that, he turned on his horse and chased the general out, and the other two hurriedly got into the carriage together, and ran to the city gate without a moment's delay.

Yanwang Mansion

Xiao Chuan'er came to the mourning hall, whispered a few words in front of Yue'er and Brother Ping'er, and then heard Brother Ping'er say: "The whole house will start worshipping now, and there will be omissions in checking again." ”

Yue'er commanded: "Xiao Chuan'er, has the letter just sent to those adults?" Are their daughters willing to come and weep? ”

Xiao Chuan'er sighed and said: "Mrs. Pan didn't want to show up, and the other two ladies also directly refused, saying that they had no friendship with the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"Extremely stupid" reprimanded, Yue'er took the entire palace maids and mothers-in-law to the second gate to cry.

All the guards in the palace were dressed in plain clothes, and Xiao Chuan'er led a group of little eunuchs to kneel far away.

Brother Ping, dressed in sackcloth and plain clothes, knelt alone in front of the spirit, burning paper money while whispering to Yang Xiaogongzi in the coffin about his friendship for many years.

Outside the door, the guard shouted loudly: "The town has arrived"

A sound came in, but Brother Ping never got up.

Later, it was reported: "The political envoy of Shuntianfu, Lord Pan, came to condole"

"The commander of Shuntianfu sent Lord Feng to come to mourn"

"Shuncheon Mansion Ancha envoy Lord Yin came to condole"

Xiao Chuan'er got up in time to greet him, and greeted the town with tears on his face: "Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo......"

After only calling these two times, he couldn't cry, and Zhen Guogong was also in tears.

After seeing the mourning battle in Yanwang's Mansion from a distance, the fire in his heart turned into the sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.

When he entered the mourning hall, Brother Ping'er was full of tears, his eyes were blurred, and he looked at Zhen Guogong with a stunned expression, and Xiao Chuan'er shouted: "Zheng Gongzi, I finally look forward to Grandpa Guo." ”

Hearing this, Brother Ping turned around and bowed to the Duke of Zhenguo, choked up and said: "Grandpa Guo, Zheng Rong is useless, he didn't ensure that Mu Ping returned to Beijing safely, please punish Grandpa Guo, and the younger generation has no complaints." ”

Zhen Guogong, who was looking at his youngest son's coffin, staggered, trembled and pointed at Brother Ping'er and said, "Who do you say you are?" Keep your head up. ”

When Brother Ping raised his head, the tears on his face kept sliding down his cheeks, and he said in a trembling voice: "The junior Zheng Rong, the idiot Brother Ping of the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, has known Mu Ping since he was a child. ”

Zhen Guogong nodded slowly, pointed to the coffin and just wanted to say something, but was reminded by the guard beside him: "Grandpa Guo, let's take a look at the little boy quickly." ”
