In the spring of the fourth year of Yining, the emperor's three sons got married, and as early as the first month, congratulatory gifts from all over the country entered Beijing one after another, and the Duke of Wuguo in Shanxi naturally received invitations.

"So we have to go to the capital?" Liu Meibao said to Lu Yan outside, while helping Rou'er tie her braids neatly.

"Mother, don't tie two braids." Rou'er, who was sitting in front of the mirror, protested, "People are big girls, so you have to save your sideburns." ”

Liu Meibao said hello with a smile, pinched Rou'er's earlobe, the ear piercing here has been pierced, and she carries a pair of small gold pendants like all the little girls now.

She combed Rou'er's hair neatly.

"Okay, big girl, see if it can be done?" Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Rou'er didn't look in the mirror, and ran to Lu Yan, who was sitting outside.

"Dad, do you think your mother's combed hair looks good?" She asked with a smile.

Lu Yan put down the post in his hand and looked at his daughter seriously.

Rou'er was wearing an apricot red shirt, stirring the pigtails hanging down on both sides with one hand, while looking at Lu Yan and grinning.

Lu Yan nodded, when Rou'er was a child, many people said to follow him, which made Lu Yan always worried, feeling that she was not good-looking, what if her daughter followed her, now it seems that her daughter is not ugly.

"It's not as good as your nurse's comb." He replied.

Rou'er, who was about to praise her father's vision, immediately pouted.

"Dad, you too, say anything." She shook Lu Yan's arm and said in disgust, while lowering her voice, "Even if it's the truth, you can't say it." ”

Lu Yan just laughed, Liu Meibao came out of the room and glared at her daughter with a smile.

Rou'er immediately pounced on her and hugged her arm.

"What's so beautiful and ugly, I just like to be close to my mother...", she said coquettishly.

"Alright." Liu Meibao pinched her little nose, "Go to dinner, and then do your homework, don't play crazy with your brothers all day long.."

"Got it, got it." Rou'er said in a loud voice, and said goodbye to Lu Yan. I stepped out of the door and staggered away.

Rou'er finished eating, and sure enough, she read a chapter of the book carefully as she said, and painted two more red sheets.

"Miss, take a break." The little girl who followed her hurriedly brought tea and a plate of snacks.

"Hey, did you buy it from Xianghezhai?" Rou'er saw it and asked.

The little girl nodded.

"Yes, after Miss said it was delicious that day, the master specially ordered the kitchen people to buy it." The little girl grinned.

Rou'er took a piece and ate it, nodding her chin.

The little girl looked out cautiously and saw that the servants were all busy. He quickly grabbed a piece and stuffed it in his mouth.

"Slow down, let you eat something, don't act like a thief." Rou'er glared and smiled.

The little girl stretched her neck and swallowed it in two bites.

"Miss, Mother Yang always says that I am gluttonous, and that if I eat Miss's things again, she will drive me to the pulp washing room to fetch water." She whispered.

Rou'er just laughed, no one dared to chase you and didn't say it.

"Just be careful, don't let her see it." She instructed.

The little girl nodded happily.

"Where are they, my brother?" Rou'er ate a piece of tea, drank tea, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked.

"I'll inquire." The little girl immediately said, "The young masters have all gone to the martial arts training ground in the morning. ”

Rou'er nodded. Jump off the chair and clap your hands.

"Pack this. Let's take a look. She said.

The Guogong Mansion was rebuilt on the basis of the Yamen of the General Military Mansion, because King Kong Sima and they all lived at home, so the house was expanded, the school hall and a large study room were added, and a martial arts training ground was specially set up for the boys to hone their skills.

When Rou'er walked over with the little girl, there was no noise in the martial arts training ground, only one person stood there.

It's a round boy. Because he was fat, he looked bigger than Rou'er, and he was only wearing a short shirt at this time. Steady Zama step, each holding a stone lock in each hand.

"Peace." Rou'er shouted.

The boy turned around, and the smiling eyes on his chubby face were immediately gone.

"Sister." He shouted, grinning, showing his white teeth.

The man was still standing firmly, and the stone lock in his hand was not put down.

"What are you doing?" Rou'er frowned, "What about them?" ”

"They're going to pick up the horses." Ping An said stupidly.

"Then why don't you go? Still stupid to take a horse step here," Rou'er glared, "Is it bullying you again?" ”

Ping An shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, my brothers said, I have a lot of strength, practice this, in the future, I can, the world is invincible." He said.

Ping An's intelligence is ultimately lower than that of his peers, and he has no problem speaking, but he still stumbles.

"They coax you, how can you be invincible in the world with a horse and a stone lock!" Rou'er stomped her feet, her thin eyebrows stood up, and she reached out and pulled the stone lock in Ping'an's hand, "Throw it down, if you don't want to play with you, forget it, I'll tell my dad to go." ”

Ping An is just a silly laugh, and he will not let go.

"Brother Sima said, if I practice this, I will be able to dance with knives and guns." He said seriously.

Because of his defects and clumsy movements, Ping An watched his brothers learn various skills with the teachings every day, and he couldn't help but follow the learning, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up with the movements and could only watch with greed.

"Brother Sima is too bad!" Rouer stomped her feet.

Before she could finish speaking, a cough came from behind.

"Ahem, what ahem, that is, you!" Rou'er raised her eyebrows and turned her head, looking at the seven or eight boys who came from the door, they couldn't all be called boys, King Kong Sima and the others were already seventeen or eighteen years old, and the tall and thin Sima who walked in the middle of a group of sturdy peers was very conspicuous.

"The affairs of the man's family, your little girl doesn't understand." Sima smiled, first touching Rou'er's pigtails, and Rou'er glared away from him.

Sima came over again, patted Ping'an's shoulder, made a serious observation, and then nodded, "Yes, there is progress, and if you persist for a while, you can play a big knife." ”

Ping An smiled happily, rejected Sima's suggestion to ask him to take a break, and then seriously carried the stone lock.

Rou'er was angry and helpless.

"I know how to bully peace." She snorted, not knowing what to think. His eyes lit up, "By the way, this time my father and mother are going to the capital, I will definitely follow, this time, I don't care if you can go or not, I must bring peace." ”

Everyone had already dispersed to discuss other things, and they were stunned when they suddenly heard Rou'er's words.

"To the capital?" Sima asked.

Rou'er looked proud. She is a girl at home, everyone loves her, and her father and mother are obedient to her words, if they want to go, they will definitely be able to go, and whoever they want to take will definitely be able to do it, this time they must be jealous of peace.

"Brother." Sima turned his face to look at King Kong, his face was a little solemn, "How is it?" I'm not wrong, my uncle is going to Beijing. ”

"What then?"

"Will you be confined?"

"If you don't go, you can't make it?"

Immediately, everyone began to discuss in a low voice, and Rou'er was left to the side, completely unable to understand what they were saying. Pouting and getting angry, he simply stomped his feet and ignored them. Let the little girl take out the wrapped snacks and go to eat them with the honest Zamabu.

The capital, the imperial palace, the emperor raised his head from the mountain of twists and turns, only to feel upset and irritable, and simply stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall.

"Then has Lu Yan's troops been checked clearly?" He asked.

On the side of the main hall stood a factory guard, who was busy bowing down when he heard the words.

"Back to Your Majesty. After many investigations, the minister has affirmed that there will be no less than 10,000 soldiers under the direct command of Wu Guogong. Of these, 8,000 are on the register, and the rest are local soldiers and their families..."

A total of 10,000 soldiers, of which 8,000 are court soldiers and horses, which is not bad, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"....his close subordinates serve as generals, and it is roughly estimated that there are 5,000 reinforcements, and there are also 5,000 soldiers who obey orders, and these strong soldiers are no different from the battalion soldiers..."

The emperor was relieved and brought up again.

“.. Since that year, the Shanxi soldiers have lost half, and now they have replenished and restored the old view, and it is better than before...."The factory guard said.

The Emperor let out a heavy breath.

"Those governors have no movement on weekdays, and I asked several times before I gave the paperwork, and what I said was Wu Guogong's loyalty to the imperial court.." The emperor seemed to say to himself, "You say, is he really loyal to the court?" ”

This question is too big, and the factory guard categorically does not dare to intervene.

The emperor paced back and forth in the main hall for a long time before he calmed down.

"I know that these Shanxi officials are afraid of him Lu Yan, and they will only slap their horses at all, but does he Lu Yan think that I will be a blind man and a fool in this way?" He snorted coldly.

The factory guard lowered his head even lower.

"Loyalty, loyalty, hum." The emperor said slowly, "It's been five years, shrinking in Shanxi to support the army and self-respect, I see if you dare to go out of Shanxi to show your loyalty!" ”

Not long after the emperor said this, news came to report that Lu Yan, the prince of Wu, brought his wife and children to Beijing to celebrate the wedding of the three princes.

"How dare you come out.." The emperor said to Princess Huairou privately, expressing some surprise.

Princess Huairou laughed when she heard this.

"Your Majesty, after all these years, this Lu Yan is also credible." She said.

"Credible?" The Emperor snorted, "Maybe he is the general's army, and he knows that I don't dare to do anything to him, so he makes some kind of generosity and loyalty." ”

"Your Majesty actually wants to rely on him in his heart." Princess Huairou directly pointed out the emperor's thoughts.

"Good generals are rare, don't I want to?" His Majesty sighed with a somber expression, "But look at these people, especially these general soldiers, they are more and more self-respecting, and they are all against me, so they have to guard against it." ”

For today's political affairs, Princess Huairou also knows a little bit, and those military generals with heavy troops don't know if it is the atmosphere brought up by Lu Yan.

"But no matter how powerful these are, if they are in front of Lu Yan, they can't be compared." Princess Huairou smiled.

The emperor naturally knows this, when Lu Yan led the troops to defeat the Tartars, and the record of beheading the Tartars is still shocking, plus the thief Li Changsan was also killed in his hands, and the name of Lu Yan in Shanxi is known to everyone in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

"Your Majesty, it's still what my father said back then, appeasement is the supreme thing, and I try to envelop you." Princess Huairou said.

"I've been enough to appease him, but this Lu Yan is rebellious by nature." The emperor was a little anxious, "Some people say that he has the posture of a small court in Shanxi, how can you make me feel at ease?" ”

"Married." Princess Huairou said.

"Then Lu Yan is already married, what kind of marriage is he still married? He doesn't want to give a beauty, and besides, what kind of pro is a beauty. The Emperor said impatiently.

"Then Lu Yan still has a son and daughter." Princess Huairou smiled.
