Chapter 162: Retaining People

Xiahou Yu and Zheng Fen were talking, and Xiao Huan and Zheng Duo rushed back.

Zheng Duo was sweating profusely, and there was surprise and admiration in his expression that could not be concealed.

Xiahou Yu couldn't help but lower his eyes when he looked at it.

This kind of Zheng Duo made her very sad.

"Father!" Zheng Duo respectfully saluted Zheng Fen.

Seeing that his eldest son was excellent and magnificent, even if he didn't have much emotion, he still made Zheng Fen and honored.

He nodded, with a kind face, motioned for Zheng Duo to sit down and talk, and then greeted Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan asked knowingly, "Why did my uncle suddenly come to Xiangyang at this time, but he was worried about his cousin?" As he spoke, he noticed that the maid in the corner was holding a swaddling baby.

His eyes widened in astonishment.

Xiahou Yu coughed lightly uncomfortably, and said, "This is my uncle's youngest son, I looked interesting, so I took it over and lived for a few days." ”

This is Xiao Huan's mansion, if there is anything, Xiao Huan naturally can't hide it, the question Xiao Huan has never asked about the things in Xiahou Yu's yard, and he has no impression of this sudden extra swaddling clothes.

At this time, I suddenly heard that it took me a long time to come back to my senses.

Xiahou Yu is too bold to act!

robbed the Lu family's slaves before, and then killed Cui Hao...... Now in order to help Zheng Duo, even her uncle's young son dares to be kidnapped...... He saw that there were no things and things in the world that made Xiahou Yu afraid!

Xiao Huan endured it so that he didn't frown.

Zheng Fen's face turned red.

Although Xiahou Yu's rhetoric is tactful, people who understand it can know what is going on at a glance. Xiahou Yu is a niece, which can be regarded as half a daughter, but this nephew and son-in-law are outsiders, and he is a man who can stand side by side with him, which makes people a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xiao Huan is sophisticated, and hurriedly handed Zheng Fen the ladder: "It's okay to take it, it just so happens that my uncle will stay here for the New Year together." I prepared a dance, and I was also ready to enjoy the pepper and cypress wine after the big dance, and my uncle and we celebrated the New Year together, which was even more lively. ”

The implication is that after sacrificing to the ancestors, as long as you come to pay New Year's greetings to the Xiao family, you can get a pepper and cypress wine as a reward, whether you are an official or a commoner.

This is tantamount to giving porridge to people on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and those from poor families must have flocked to it.

Zheng Fen likes this scene the most.

He didn't think about it.

Xiao Huan hurriedly said, "This looks like it's Chinese New Year's Eve, so I'll send someone to deliver a letter to Jingzhou." If there's anything to do, just let those staff handle it first. ”

Zheng Fen felt that Xiao Huan made sense and agreed with Xiao Huan's approach.

Xiao Huan didn't talk about Jiankang's observations, nor did he talk about the anecdotes that happened in the imperial court, and only drank with Zheng Fen wholeheartedly.

Zheng Fen's alcohol consumption is practiced, and she is notoriously good. didn't expect Xiao Huan to drink better, so he drunk Zheng Fen stubbornly.

Zheng Fen was finally taken away by the little guy brought by Zheng Duo.

Xiao Huan drank the decanting soup and said to Xiahou Yu: "You can entertain your uncle well!" ”

Only then did Xiahou Yu know that Xiao Huan was helping himself keep Zheng Fen!

Xiao Huan never cared about his own business.

However, she was still very happy that he helped the management like this.

"Thank you!" Xiahou Yu let down his guard and unconsciously talked to him in his heart, "My aunt is not that harsh person, she is in charge of these children, firstly, so as not to make any jokes, and secondly, to suppress the arrogance of those concubines, so as not to stay outside for a long time, and think that she is the main room." ”

Xiao Huan felt that Xiahou Yu had a good idea.

Xiahou Yu took the opportunity to ask Hong Lian: "I didn't expect him to be a staff member under you!" ”

Xiao Huan drank wine, and he couldn't help but be more indulgent than usual. He smiled when he heard this: "What? Can't he be my staff member? Isn't Xie Yu also working as a staff member for me? The tone is a little childish.

Xiahou Yu was quite surprised.

She didn't expect Xiao Huan, who had drunk too much, to be like this.

However, it is more kind and interesting than his usual straight face.

Xiahou Yu wondered if he should tease Xiao Huan to talk, to see if he would continue to say some childish words, but the little servant came in and said, "Governor, eldest princess, Mr. Song asks to see!" ”

The only person around Xiao Huan who can be called "Mr. Song" is Song Qian.

Is there anything that can make Song Qianqian come over at this time?

Xiahou Yu was surprised.

Xiao Huan sobered up a little bit, and hurriedly said, "Invite Mr. Song in!" ”

Xiahou Yu once hinted at him, saying that the Emperor of Beiliang was no longer good, and then the emperor of Beiliang was really sick, and he began to have a close relationship with the movements of Beiliang from then on.

And Song Qian got his advice and stared at Bei Liang's side!

If it weren't for Emperor Beiliang's illness, he couldn't think of anything else that was worth Song Qian's time to bother him.

He had just sat up straight, and Song Qian's face was solemn and he hurriedly walked in.

"Governor! Eldest Princess! He saluted the two respectfully, and did not avoid Xiahou Yu, but said straightly, "We just got the news that Emperor Beiliang has died!" ”

"Ahh Although he was prepared, when the news reached his ears, both Xiahou Yu and Xiao Huan were surprised.

Song Qian said in a deep voice: "This matter has not yet come, but on the side of Jiankang City, it will be five or six days at most to get the news." ”

As they agreed before, if the Emperor of Beiliang died of illness, they would take this opportunity to capture several cities in Beiliang.

Because Emperor Beiliang has never set up a crown prince, several adult sons are like wolves.

Xiao Huan hurriedly said: "What is the situation in Beiliang now?" ”

Song Qian said: "Lord Sima Gu is still in the palace. When Emperor Beiliang died, no one knows. I only know that before the death of Emperor Beiliang, only Da Sima and Empress Gu were sick in the bedroom of Emperor Beiliang, and they have not seen outsiders for two months. In the evening five days ago, Da Sima announced that the four princes entered the palace, and then the imperial city of Beiliang was under martial law, and then a decree came from the palace to make the four princes the crown princes.

Everyone was at a loss, and the news of the death of Emperor Beiliang came out of the palace.

"Now the imperial capital of Beiliang is in chaos.

"Several adult princes who led the army all said that the Great Sima was overbearing, and did not recognize the succession of the four princes.

"The imperial city of Beiliang is about to fight, it just depends on whether Da Sima and the four princes have the ability to suppress the other princes."

The corners of Xiahou Yu's mouth twitched.

It's different from the previous life.

Emperor Beiliang set up the crown prince a month before his death, and when he was buried, the prince wanted to kill Gu Xia while he was guarding the tomb in the palace. Xiahou escaped from the palace and set up four princes to succeed him. In the end, the four princes were defeated, and the Gu family was also beheaded.

What happened in this life?

Not only was the death of Emperor Beiliang postponed, but the crown prince also became the fourth prince?

Will the Gu family be tabooed by the new emperor like in the previous life and beheaded all over the house? Or will they be like her, on a completely different path?

This is not quite what Xiao Huan thought.

He originally planned to take advantage of the instability of Beiliang to attack several cities in Beiliang, but now Gu Xia is still the great Sima of Beiliang, and the four princes have rightfully succeeded to the throne. Or wait until the beginning of spring and the situation is clearer before heading north?
