As an important place in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and the last stop of the Grand Canal, the small Tongzhou actually set up two post stations. Originally, it was a horse post and a water post, but somehow, the Hehe Horse Post moved to Zhangjiawan and changed to a water post, while the Luhe Water Post was changed to a water horse post. Coming and going, about the sake of convention, many civil and military officials north of Liaodong often stayed in Zhangjiawan and Heshuiyi before arriving in Beijing.

It's just that from the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Heheshui Station was completely requisitioned by a military horse. Although Yi Cheng was very frightened at first, but seeing the strict posture of the soldiers and horses, he could only press his anxiety in his stomach, and he was sincerely afraid that he would prepare beans for horses to eat according to the orders of those soldiers, and clean the room for people to live in, but when he got up in the middle of the night and found someone guarding his door, he was still scared half to death.

It was so muddy that at noon that day, he couldn't help it, and he dared to ask to see him. After waiting for a short time, Nei Zhong finally sent a message to let him in. He trembled and followed the sergeant who led the way to the door of the main room, and before he could sign up for a meeting, an officer with a knife at his waist ran quickly past him, and when he reached the front of the steps, he said loudly: "Return to the marquis, the prince is outside to ask for a meeting!" ”

"Pass him in!"

A sound of the Hou Ye, a sound of the world, this Yi Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly took a step back to the side. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see a young man in black striding in with a sergeant. After only one glance, he was stabbed by that cold gaze, and he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look again. When the people entered the door, he couldn't help but smile and asked the sergeant who had just brought him in: "This military master, ask hard, dare to ask which marquis and which prince is this?" ”

Although his words were unusually soft, the sergeant gave him a sideways look, and then said coldly: "If you want to live, don't ask!" As long as you pass this juncture, you will know what you should know. ”

Hearing this, Na Yicheng naturally shuddered, and no longer dared to speak casually, and even retreated. However, he was the one who racked his brains to ask to see the main lord before, and it was difficult to go back to this place, so he could only struggle in the cold wind, and his heart had already recited the gods and Buddhas all over again.

God promises that don't be a rebellious deed, otherwise his family will be all finished!

Xiao Lang naturally didn't know that because he misunderstood the words of the sergeant below, he even thought of rebellion. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the great figure of the county lord who was discussing something with someone, and he was stunned there, and it took a long time before he called out for his father. The next moment, the middle-aged man who was looking at the big sand table straightened up.

At a cursory glance, Zhendonghou's temples and white forehead were wrinkled, as if he was extremely old, but standing in Nani, he exuded a feeling of stability like Mount Tai, and his eyes were even sharper. He looked at Xiao Lang for a while without blinking, and then nodded lightly and said, "I have heard about you in Jiangnan and the capital. Well done. ”

Although the evaluation was only four words, Xiao Lang still felt hot in his ears when he heard it. However, after the praise of the stingy words, what followed was an unusually sharp rebuke.

"However, you have done one thing wrong, and that is to indulge your brother! Now it's time to make up for it, but what if what he does is out of control at all? You should know that he is not you, he has never seen blood, he is just a nerd who is dedicated to reading, and when he goes to a place like Guozijian and sees many peers who don't care about his identity, what can't he provoke? ”

"Yes, the child knows it's wrong."

"It's good to know it's wrong." Zhendonghou didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but immediately changed his words, "Since you have come to the capital, the situation in the capital has been cleaned up?" ”

"Yes, I have already taken people to uproot the places that the secret agents detected before, and they have all been taken into custody." Speaking of this, Xiao Lang hesitated for a moment before asking, "It's just that Dad really wants to personally suppress the two border troops who have just been transferred to Beijing?" ”

"The emperor's will is so, and it is naturally so." As if he didn't care at all, Zhendonghou nodded lightly at the two staff members beside him, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mu, if you are troublesome, arrange it immediately, and after half an hour, you will go immediately." ”

Seeing Zhou Mu and the two salute and leave, Xiao Lang couldn't hold back any longer, strode forward and stood next to his father, and persuaded in a low voice: "Dad, since Song Yiming can have the confidence to transfer them back, he can control the overall situation, it can be seen that the top and bottom have been straightened out, if you want to go, you have to take the army with you, what is the use of these hundred and ten people?" If anything......"

"Not so many whatevers." Zhendong Hou burst out such a sentence concisely, but he squinted his eyes and looked at the door in front of him, "Song Yiming is already a turtle in an urn, they know that they are hopeless, and they don't think they will be so stupid."

If you go with a large army and raise swords near the Beijing Division, then the matter will be big, but it will be out of control! ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and picked up the big piece that was placed on the Taishi's chair and draped it on his body, looked at Xiao Lang and said, "Don't say more about the side words." After this battle, Liaoji can be peaceful for at least ten years, and the secret spies in Beijing will no longer need to be kept, so the responsibility will not make people suspicious. As for your marriage......"

"Daddy!"

Interrupted by Xiao Lang, Zhendonghou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and glanced sideways at Nizi again. Only then did he say lightly: ...... The matter of the lord is not the intention of the concubine alone, and the emperor has also been moved. If you have never been satisfied with the marriage of a man or a woman in Beijing, then I will make the decision for you. ”

Seeing Zhendong Hou go out of the house without looking back, Xiao Lang only felt empty in his heart, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and pull out his legs to chase after him. When he lifted the curtain and walked out of the main room, he saw a fiery woman standing there talking to Mr. Zhou under a bare tree, and the bright color of her body made him dazzle.

"First, those delicate women of the family decided that they couldn't stand the bitter cold of the slave Gandusi, and secondly, they married those wealthy families, which was very unfavorable to the Hou Mansion in Zhendong. As for marrying a veteran general in our army, it is not unavoidable, but since I want to go back to Beijing to live, I will inevitably be honest. As for the poor family, it is already my blessing to have a mother like you, but it is difficult for you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhendonghou paused, and then turned his gaze to the girl in red, "Han Jie was brought back by me this time." Her father was a battalion of thousands of households adjacent to North Korea, and two years ago he died in ambush while leading his troops to resist the enemy. At that time, there was no news around, and she fought there for two or three years. This time, I led the army to be the forerunner of her. ”

Xiao Lang was stunned when he heard this, but the girl in red saw the situation here, and after arching her hand to Mr. Zhou, she strode forward, but she generously gave a military salute to Zhendonghou and Xiao Lang without any drag.

"Master Hou, the prince!"

"Miss Han." Zhendonghou's always grim face actually showed a smile, and then he said with a straight face, "I think Mr. Zhou has already told you." Although the meeting will not be a tough battle in close combat, it is also extraordinary, but you are afraid that the dress of a woman will be a little eye-catching, so go and change your body first. ”

"Follow the orders of the marquis!"

Seeing Han Jie saluting solemnly, she immediately retreated after asking a few more words about preparation and the like, but she didn't look at herself much, Xiao Lang's heart was relieved, but he was suddenly slapped twice on the shoulder: "Her way of using soldiers was learned from her deceased father, and she can't say that she has much strategy, but she can struggle in that kind of place for two or three years, but it is enough to show her courage." I don't expect her to be good at dancing in the capital with long sleeves, I just hope that she can sing and follow her wife and walk side by side with you. ”

Xiao Lang looked at his father with an indifferent face, and stopped talking for a while: "Dad......"

"Manly man, when it is broken, it will be broken!" Zhendonghou waved his hand disappreciatively, and then went down the steps. When he arrived in the courtyard, he said without looking back, "You have grown up and should be on your own, don't let me down." ”

Seeing that Zhendonghou just disappeared outside the door, Xiao Lang stood silent for a moment, and finally chased after him.

After breakfast and lunch, the emperor drove out of the city from Xi'an Gate and prepared to go to the western suburbs for a military parade. As soon as he landed on the ground, a little eunuch on the side came forward and bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, the message of the Marquis of Zhendong is that everything is as usual.

Even though it was just a few words, the emperor's face, which was still a little tangled in his brows, suddenly relaxed. Seeing the crown prince standing there, frowning and looking at his sleeves, he couldn't help but shake his head, so he called his son forward. But when he really saw the people standing in front of him in a proper manner, he took back the blame on his lips.

"I plan to stay in the capital and let the prince go to Nu'er to guard the town, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the crown prince raised his head suddenly, and seeing that the emperor's face did not seem to be joking, he lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he raised his head: "Father Emperor Shengming." ”

After waiting for a long time, he waited for such a sentence, and the emperor was immediately angry: "Did I say this to make you holy?" ”

"But this is what Erchen said in his heart." The prince blinked innocently, and then hurriedly said, "The Marquis of Zhendong has made great contributions to the country, but now that he is not young after all, the slave is not young, and the slave is in the bitter cold and Liaodong, so he should stay in Beijing and enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty." As for Xiao Lang, the son of the world, although he is young, his ability is extraordinary, and he is just exercising. In addition, Nuer Gandu Si opened the sea, and now the imperial court has to send civil officials to govern, and the burden on him is much lighter. It's just that since my father has this thought, I'm afraid that the boiling talk of the lord some time ago will be shelved. ”

"Having said so much, the most important thing is probably the last one, right?" The emperor laughed, and when he saw that the prince nodded again and again as if he did not hide his mood at all, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "If you had a sister who was a fellow mother, would you still say this?" ”

"Of course!" The crown prince nodded without hesitation, and seeing that the emperor seemed a little annoyed, he glanced at the King of Jin who was opening his head over there, and then said unhurriedly, "If it is really the sister of my mother's compatriots, I don't want to delay her life." Although Xiao Lang is good, not everyone can afford it, he is very difficult to serve! ”

In the face of this son, who was only half serious in his speech, although the emperor shook his head angrily, he did not agree in his heart.! ~！
