On May 20, Gong Dongning and Ouyang Ming joined forces: On May 22, Nang Dongning officially took over Ouyang Ming's Yin Shuai, "Ouyang Ming led 10,000 troops and retreated to the Datong Guardhouse, not far from Yanjing; On May 25, Gong Dongning reorganized his troops and led an army of 120,000 to besiege Xuantong City; On 27 May, Gong Dongning began to order a siege; On May 26, the city was broken, capturing more than 30,000 Tartars and killing more than 9,000 enemies. More than 3,000 horses were seized. But the Tartar leader Duoyan fled northwest under the escort of a thousand cavalry. Despite this, when the news came, the government and the opposition cheered, and the ministers came to the table to knight Gong Dongning, and let Gong Dongning sacrifice prisoners at the noon gate to show the national prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"In this way, the war is basically over! , Shi Niang put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile, "Brother Jin will be able to return to Beijing soon." ”

"If the emperor allows Gong Dongning to sacrifice prisoners at noon, Brother Jin will definitely come back with him. As for whether to camp outside the city or follow Gong Dongning into the city, it is uncertain. But anyway. There's nothing wrong with sneaking up on each other. Xu Lingyi was also in a good mood, while saying, he sat down next to Eleven Niang, glanced at the white silk stretched on the embroidery shelf, and said: "This word screen has been embroidered for many years, why hasn't the embroidery been finished yet?" …”

"When I'm free, I'll embroider two stitches。。 Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Lingyi just felt familiar, and didn't take it to heart, so she picked up the half-drunk teacup of Eleven Niang and took a sip. said: "In the past, I only thought that Gong Dongning was brave and good at fighting, but I didn't expect that this guy was quite clever." I was a little emotional.

Knowing that his son was safe and sound, and Gong Dongning was his son's immediate boss, Eleven Niang was naturally very interested in his affairs: "How can you talk about this?" …”

Xu Lingyi said with a smile: "Duoyan fled to the northwest, Gong Dongning did not order to pursue while he was victorious, Ganzhou had 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Sichuan Metropolitan Division stationed, and Gong Dongning did not order encirclement and suppression, obviously leaving Ouyang Ming to clean up the mess." It can be seen that in terms of pondering the upper meaning. He's still doing a good job. I was worried that he would not be able to adapt to Yanjing, but now it seems that I am too worried. He said, remembering the ...... of King Yong. They went to a silver mine together, and Gong Dongning entered Beijing, "King Yong will also take more care of him!" There is also a candidate for the general army in Guizhou, and King Yong will definitely be netbsp; "Gong Dongning is like this, he can be regarded as a late bloomer, right? Eleven Niang smiled, "It can be seen that people's opportunities are also very important...

Xu Lingyi was about to tell her a few examples in the army, when a small servant ran in: "Master Hou." Xuantong Mansion 800 miles expedited. ”

The people in the outer courtyard all know that Brother Jin is now following Gong Dongning, and the eight hundred miles of Xuantong Mansion are urgent. Naturally, I didn't dare to linger for a moment.

Xu Lingyi also paid attention to Xuantong's battle from time to time, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Take it." He sat there and watched.

Eleven Niang leaned over.

But after glancing at it, her face changed drastically, and she lost her voice and said, "What does this mean?" , The smile also disappeared from Xu Lingyi's face, and his expression became solemn.

The little guy saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly tiptoed back. A few people looked at it along the incense. They also looked at each other and retreated.

The room fell silent.

"It seems that the emperor wants Brother Jin to take this opportunity to save up some military merits,..." Xu Lingyi's sigh was clearly audible, "It's just that this stroke is too big, I'm afraid that Brother Jin won't be able to bear it." ”

Gong Dongning said in the letter that the prison army had obtained the emperor's secret decree. asked him to appoint Brother Jin as a fellow acquaintance, and together with Ouyang Ming, who was stationed in the Datong Guard, he surrounded and suppressed Duoyan who fled west.

The overall situation has been decided, there are the troops of the Sichuan Governor and the Ganzhou Guard in the west, Duoyan only has 1,000 troops around him, but Ouyang Ming only has 10,000 troops in his hands, and Duoyan is the leader of the Tartars, whether he is killed or captured, it is of great significance. It can be the first to make a contribution. Ouyang Ming said that after all, he was a general who had been a general of the expedition to the west. Brother Jin'er is not to say that he is leading the troops, from the beginning of the war to the present. He has never even been on the battlefield, he is just a scribe by Gong Dongning's side. Neither experience nor qualifications are enough to be Ouyang Ming's deputy.

This is simply a red 1uo1uo grabbing merit!

Even those who don't know how to march and arrange the formation know what is going on when they hear it, not to mention the battle-hardened generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the scheming ministers in the temple!

Those imperial histories are not vegetarians!

If you put on a posture of grabbing military merits from the beginning, it will certainly make those soldiers who fought bloodily dissatisfied. But at least despicable sincerity. Not like now. The despicable hypocrisy is even more despicable.

Once his character is doubted, why will Brother Jin gain a foothold in the barracks in the future? Even if one day he becomes the chief soldier, how can he command his soldiers?

"Your Majesty, is this hurting Brother Jin? Or are you lifting Brother Jin'er? The corners of Eleven Niang's mouth were bitter. "Since it's a secret purpose, can you pretend not to know? It's not that the general will be outside, and the royal decree will not be granted. ”。

"Unlikely... Xu Lingyi shook his head, "Gong Dongning is about to enter Beijing." He won't upset the emperor at this critical time. He wrote to me, but he just told me to let me know the reason for this, and give me a jiao! …”

That is to say. Gong Dongning also felt that this was a bit inappropriate?。。 Eleven Niang said in a deep voice.

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound.

Eleven Niang's heart suddenly became irritable: "Is there no other way?" You can't just watch Brother Jin follow Ouyang Ming to the northwest like this, right? , Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said, "You go to Princess Dujiang's Mansion!" Talk to the princess and see if you can persuade the emperor. Since it is a secret decree, it makes sense to assign others when the time comes. He added, "I'll write a letter to Gong Dongning and ask him to delay it for two days." ..., Eleven Niang also felt good, and even thought that if the princess couldn't talk about it, she would go into the palace to beg the queen, in short, she couldn't let Brother Jin follow.

When she saw the princess, she smiled and said, "I knew my aunt would come to me!" There was a little smugness in the smile.

Eleven Niang was stunned: "Could it be the princess........."

"The third emperor brother said," the uncle thought of the eternal name. Regardless of Brother Jin. Then we'll take care of it. The princess nodded, her eyes smiling into a crooked moon, "When the imperial brother told the emperor, the emperor still didn't agree to let Brother Jin be a fellow acquaintance, saying that he was young and only allowed to be a hundred households, and I went into the palace to ask the queen mother, and the queen mother personally told the emperor, and the emperor agreed." ..."Saying that, she grabbed Eleven Niang's arm" "My aunt came just in time, the war was unfavorable a few days ago, and the palace was also trembling. Now that the big thing has been decided, the queen mother and the queen mother are relieved and summon me and the third emperor's sister-in-law into the palace to talk. Let's go into the palace together, and my aunt can say hello to the queen mother and the queen, and we can also meet the three emperors' sisters-in-law. Speaking of which, let me enter the palace and ask the queen mother to ask the emperor or the third emperor's sister-in-law to help come up with the idea! Otherwise, how can we understand this? , knowing that it was not the emperor's intention, a big stone in Shi Niang's heart fell to the ground. can look at Princess Jiangdu's excited face. She knew that she couldn't say anything more at this time - whether it was King Yong, Princess Jiangdu, or even Princess Yong, they were all kind, and the last time she refused to let Brother Jin return to Yanjing, she had already poured cold water on King Yong and Princess Jiangdu, and if she refused again, it would inevitably make them feel cold.

"It's good that I'm dressed today." Eleven Niang said with a smile. thanked Princess Jiangdu, "I entered the palace with her."

The Queen Mother didn't mention the matter of helping Brother Jin speak. Instead, he asked about his marriage: "......." He's not too young anymore, why haven't you moved at all? The last time I proposed marriage to the Seventh Prince, I saw that the daughter of Kong Wenjie, a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, was good, and she was the same age as Brother Jin'er, one day I recruited her into the palace, you can also take a look! …。

"I don't know how old Miss Kong is this year? Eleven Niang smiled, "We have shown Brother Jin the marriage." Said that it would be better to have a difference of three or four years! …”

In this way, Brother Jin can get married a few years later.

"That's it!. , the Queen Mother was a little disappointed, "Miss Kong and Brother Jin are the same year!" …。

Sister Fang was also present, glanced at Eleven Niang with a smile, and said, "Queen Mother, since this is the case, tell Miss Kong to Uncle Eight Emperors!" Speaking of which. Uncle Eight Emperor has also reached the age of marriage. ”

The Queen Mother listened to it and instructed Huang Xianying: "I invited Concubine Song to come tomorrow." See what she means. ”

Huang Xianying responded respectfully, "Yes...", and also glanced at Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be worried.

Does everyone think that this girl is good, and she is stubborn, but she has lost a good marriage?

She thanked the Queen Mother with some anxiety.

"Brother Jin is my mother's family. , The Queen Mother smiled disappre一门ly. "His business. Naturally, I take it to heart. Then he asked about Mrs. Tai's body.

Everyone said something homely, and Eleven Niang saw that it was not early, and got up to say goodbye.

Princess Jiangdu is also going home.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother personally sent them to the Warm Pavilion, and Ying Xianying sent them to the palace gate.

Eleven Niang sent off Princess Jiangdu first. then said goodbye to Huang Xianying and implicitly asked about Miss Kong: "...... Am I doing something inappropriate? ”。

"The Queen Mother wholeheartedly wants to be a big matchmaker for Brother Jin'er! Huang Xianying smiled, "It's good to look at Miss Kong, and under the pretext that Miss Kong is young, I am going to leave it to the sixth young master. , She said, hehe, "However, since Mrs. Yongping Hou said that it is best to find a young man who is three or four years younger than the sixth young master." The Queen Mother also has a score in her heart, and she will definitely be able to find one that satisfies Mrs. Yongping Hou in the future. ”。

Eleven Niang is embarrassed.

"Please also ask my aunt to explain a few words in front of the Queen Mother. , she saluted Huang Xianying.

"Mrs. Yongping Hou doesn't have to take it to heart." Hwang Hyun-young said with a smile. "The Queen Mother hurts the sixth young master to the bone. …”

After all, the gate of the palace is not a place to speak, Eleven Niang said a few words modestly and returned to Hehuali.

"Don't say it's the princess of Jiangdu, even the queen mother, it won't work. …”

She told Xu Lingyi about entering the palace.

"The emperor is very filial to the Queen Mother." Xu Lingyi thought for a long time and said, "I'll go see Chen Ge Lao tomorrow and see if there can be a turnaround!" …”

"That's all there is to it! …”

Both husband and wife had thoughts, and they fell asleep in the middle of the night.!
