Eleven Niang hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed in her heart, and said softly to Princess Jiangdu: "For such a big event, the Hou Ye is in charge, I think it is still necessary to discuss the Hou Ye's ......" is very embarrassed.

Princess Jiangdu couldn't help but get anxious: "Uncle." This is not the time to be virtuous. You know, such an opportunity is really rare. After this village, there is no such shop. He said, "The third emperor's sister-in-law said that as long as the aunt agrees, we will go and tell the third emperor brother, the official document of the military selection department of the military department has been out, and the uncle will know that there is no way to do it at that time!" ”

Eleven Niang is really grateful.

She took Princess Jiangdu's hand: "Brother Jin'er has you, it's really his blessing." But this matter is very important, without the nod of Hou Ye, I really dare not agree. ”

Princess Jiangdu's joy faded little by little, replaced by disappointment, and reluctantly said: "Brother Jin'er has also helped us a lot, and my aunt doesn't have to take it to heart." "Get up and take your leave.

Eleven Niang felt even more uncomfortable, and sent Princess Jiangdu out: "Prince Yong and the princess's good ministers and concubines all understand, when Hou Ye comes back from the palace, I will talk to Hou Ye well." ”

Princess Jiangdu nodded abruptly and went home.

When the lamp was in charge, Xu Lingyi came back.

Eleven Niang got the letter and went out.

Under the red lantern, his expression was solemn and cold.

Eleven Niang bowed her knees, didn't say a word, welcomed Xu Lingyi back to the house, and silently helped him change into a homely cocoon silk robe and serve tea.

After Xu Lingyi entered the house, her eyes kept falling on Shi Niang's body, turning around as she went in and out. At this moment she stopped, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a slightly bitter smile.

Shi Niang didn't ask, and asked him with a smile: "Has Master Hou eaten?" Why don't you cook a bowl of mixed noodles for you? ”

"Good!" Xu Lingyi immediately agreed. It was as if I was relieved.

What happened? He looked like he was afraid of her inquiry......

Eleven Niang rolled the dough and circled in her heart.

Could it be that the emperor temporarily decided to let him regain the handsome seal? Even so, he didn't need to be afraid to ask himself! He is the head of the family, not to mention these court matters, even if the family wants to buy someone's shop, it stands to reason that he doesn't have to discuss it with her...... Is it a matter of Brother Jin'er...... In addition to her son's matter, she couldn't think of anything else that would make Xu Lingyi very difficult when she faced herself!

Thinking about it together, she couldn't help but feel numb.

What will happen to Brother Jin?

Didn't he send a few men to follow him secretly?

How could something happen?

She thought about it, hurriedly withdrew some green onions, and brought the noodles over.

Xu Lingyi sat on the kang table and ate two bowls in a row before putting down the chopsticks.

Eleven Niang personally served him to rinse his mouth and clean his hands.

The current situation is like this1uan, knowing that he came back from the palace, he didn't ask a word...... After so many years, he didn't say it, and she didn't ask. Let her do whatever she wants, never doubt, and trust him wholeheartedly...............

Thinking of this, Xu Lingyi suddenly felt that his eyes were a little astringent.

He pulled the eleven mother who was about to go to give him tea.

"Silently, the 400,000 army not only mobilized all the troops of Shandong and Shanxi, but even the Far East and Xijiang under the Governorate of the Left Army, and Baoding and Wanquan, which were subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Later Army, transferred some of their troops. Although the emperor is willing to lead the army of Ouyang Ming, Ouyang Ming has never fought independently in generals, and the emperor has no score in his heart, so he specially announced me to enter the palace and asked me if Ouyang Ming can take on this important responsibility! ”

If his answer is as good as the emperor intended. Why did he have to explain it to her in such detail!

Eleven Niang looked at him and grabbed her big hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Who did the Hou Ye recommend to the emperor?" ”

Silent words, very smart people!

Xu Lingyi lowered his eyelids: "Guizhou General Gong Dongning!" ”

Eleven Niang was shocked: "What does this have to do with Brother Jin?" ”

"On the Yellow Book of the Ministry of War. He razed thousands of households in Pu'anwei, Guizhou. Xu Lingyi's voice was low, "If Gong Dongning confers the rank of General Pingxi, the Ministry of War will definitely let Gong Dongning take the troops of the Guizhou Capital Division to the north." Everyone knows that Brother Jin is my son, and at this time he stayed in Guizhou "weak and cowardly." Evading responsibility in times of national calamity. His reputation is all over, and it will also affect his career - think about it, who wants to give the burden to someone who doesn't dare to bear it! ”

Listening to the taste of persuasion in and out of his words, Eleven Niang took a deep breath. drove this feeling away from his mind, and calmly dragged it out: "Now that Xuantong has been broken, Datong is in danger, Guizhou is thousands of miles away from here, Quanshang just followed the advice of the Hou Ye, and it is unlikely to transfer Gong Dongning to Beijing or Guizhou troops to the north at this time." What's more, Ouyang Ming was an assistant minister left by the emperor to the emperor, and he was deeply relied on by the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor to agree to the recommendation of the Hou Ye in this situation. What is Hou Ye worried about? Before the words fell, she blessed her soul and lost her voice, "That day, the emperor announced that the Hou Ye entered the palace and asked the Hou Ye for advice, could it be that at that time, did he ask the Hou Ye to recommend the Pingxi general?" ”

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, and acquiesced.

So that's it!

He should have recommended Gong Dongning at that time, but he remained silent because he was afraid of his brother. When Xuantong Mansion was destroyed, Fan Weigang's whereabouts were unknown, the Tatars waved their troops to Datong, and Baili was displaced...... He thinks he is also responsible, so he has trouble sleeping and sleeping!

Eleven Niang's eyes suddenly moistened. Everyone has their own bottom line.

Just like her, she obviously knew that she had promised the kindness of Prince Yong and Princess Jiangdu, and Brother Jin might be able to rise to prominence because of this, "But I think of the future that my son has sacrificed for other people's future." She can't accept or even enjoy it casually.

The same is true for Xu Lingyi!

With Gong Dongning, it is possible to end this war quickly, or it may be worse than now. But in the end, he didn't go through the decision" He couldn't help but think about the benefits, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it......

"Xu Lingyi! Eleven Niang couldn't help but gently shout his name and squatted in front of him. Looking up at his eyes, "Your Majesty, did you agree to use Gong Dongning?" The war is so tight, is it possible to let Gong Dongning enter Beijing alone? …”

The emperor didn't agree.

。。 Xu Lingyi pulled her up and hugged her in his arms, "But I have a bad premonition, since the Tartars have gathered the forces of more than a dozen tribes, they dare to attack in a big way." It can't be just that. Where did the talented people go? Could there be a tribal leader who led a team of men and horses to invade from Ganzhou? If so. Once Ganzhou loses its way, Datong suffers revenge on his back and wins, and the danger and "defeat" are in danger. The Ministry of War only transferred troops from Sichuan and Guizhou to encircle and suppress ....... ”

Eleven Niang's face turned pale: "In other words, according to Hou Ye's prediction, eight or nine out of ten will become like this!" …。

Brother Jin will have to go to the battlefield with him!

Xu Lingyi didn't answer positively. Instead, he said: "Sichuan Chief Soldier Ding Zhi is stubborn and self-serving, and he is crony." If he is allowed to be the governor of the right army, he is afraid that he will let the soldiers and horses of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division charge ahead, but Gong Dongning loves soldiers like a son. Will definitely go toe-to-toe with him. Before the battle started, they were 1uan ...... first. ...", he said. He sighed slightly, "Although Lu Shangshu is good at sycophancy, he also has some courage to do things. If this happens. In addition, with my recommendation, he will definitely strive to make Gong Dongning the governor of the right army to lead the right army ....... ”，…”

His eyes looked straight ahead, as if his gaze had penetrated the thousands of rivers and mountains to the hills and ravines in the northwest. Eleven Niang was speechless for a while.

If Gong Dongning wins, it's okay to say, if he loses, as a recommender, Xu Lingyi will be jointly and severally liable. In this case. Lu Shangshu will definitely try his best to promote this matter, if he recommends Ding Zhi. If he is defeated, he will be jointly and severally responsible, if Gong Dongning becomes the governor of the right army. He can not only be exempted from the responsibility of recommendation, but also buy Xu Lingyi to save face, why not!

"So, what to do? Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi as if asking for help.

"Hopefully I'm cranky 1uan think... Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly, and her tone was a little erratic, "Maybe there aren't so many people in Tartar." ”

I guess he didn't believe it himself, or else. He won't speak in that tone anymore.

There was silence in the room again.

A small servant said through the curtain: "Master Hou, Steward Zhao asks to see you!" …”

Xu Lingyi hugged Eleven Niang hard. smiled and comforted her: "Let's not think about it here." Maybe Ouyang Ming, like me, is a handsome talent that has not been met in a century? I think back then, the governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies looked at me, just like I looked at Ouyang Ming today! . , Eleven Niang couldn't laugh. But he still tried to say softly: "It's so late, I'm afraid that Steward Zhao is in a hurry." Master Hou, go quickly! …”

Mo Yan is not the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain, and if she can't see progress, she won't give up.

For the first time, Xu Lingyi hated her sanity.

But at this time, he could only say softly, "I'll come when I go." He turned and walked out of the inner room.

Eleven Niang felt as if she was frying on a fire.

Ouyang Ming has an army of 400,000 in his hands, one to four, even if he fights a naval battle, he can defeat the Tartars...... If Ouyang Ming can win a big victory, even if the Tartars have a team of men and horses to sneak to Ganzhou, it will be useless ....... At that time, Ouyang Ming only needs to transfer troops south...... Gong Dongning naturally didn't need it, and Brother Jin could continue to farm in his Shiyang. I opened a mine in razing!

Thinking so in her heart, Xu Lingyi's analysis flashed through her mind from time to time, which made her sit still.

She knew that this was because he trusted Xu Lingyi's ability too much and believed in what he said, but he couldn't let go.

Facts are the only criterion for testing. Now I can only wait for the battle report from Datong!

Thinking of these, where did Eleven Niang still have the heart to care why Xu Lingyi didn't return until the second half of the night, let alone whether Xu Lingyi would be woken up, tossing and turning, and didn't close her eyes until dawn.

Xu Sizhen and Jiang came to greet them. Xu Si earnestly asked Xu Lingyi to show it: "Now the rice in the city has risen to eight taels of silver and one stone, look at this." It is estimated that it will go up. Our family is in the city, there are not two rice shops, and I want to close the door. In this way, the rice at home is also abundant, if relatives and friends are in difficulty, we can also fund a little to help everyone get through this difficulty first! ”。
