Chapter 105 The Way of Checks and Balances

Di Yunhao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looking at Su Ping and Di Jingjing on the other side of the table with interest.

On the table are several delicate plates, on which are stacked with several kinds of dim sum of different shapes. Di Jingjing carefully picked up a snack, put it in front of her mouth, took a bite lightly, and chewed it carefully. There was a light in her eyes, and she said to Su Ping with some joy: "It's delicious!"

"Eat more if it's delicious, there are not so many rules here. A doting smile appeared on Su Ping's face.

Di Jingjing took another bite and chewed for a long time before swallowing. Then she reluctantly put down the piece of dim sum and smiled at Su Ping: "Enough, you can't eat more desserts." ”

Su Ping smiled: "Only eat two bites, how can you eat more?"

Without waiting for Di Jingjing to answer, Di Yunhao interrupted with a smile: "Mother, don't care about her, she is afraid of eating fat, and she won't be able to catch Fu Bai's kid's heart when she goes back." ”

Su Ping was stunned for a moment, then saw Di Jingjing's face slightly red, and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very attentive to this husband." It is said that this Fu Bai made a meritorious contribution to the thorough investigation of military resources a few days ago, but he is not far from being promoted?"

Di Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she chuckled: "It's true, Fu Lang...... It's very lean. ”

"If you want to eat these dim sum in the future, I will often come over, thanks to Master Wang who brought me when I married far away at this time, I don't have anything else here, it is the pastry and dim sum of the Central Plains, and I am afraid that I am the only one who can eat it in the entire Shajiang City. Su Ping's face showed kindness, Di Jingjing stood up, and saluted dignified and generously: "Yes." That Jingjing retired first, and Fu Lang must have gone down to court. ”

"This girl, what are you doing with so many rules here. Su Ping smiled.

Di Yunhao also stood up and said to Su Ping, "I'll send Jingjing out." ”

Di Jingjing turned her head and smiled: "Big brother, is he so idle today? ”

"Idle is not idle, but Miss Di has a big face, no matter what I say, I have to sell Miss Di a face. Di Yunhao said with a smile.

Di Jingjing tilted her head sideways and smiled: "Then it's troublesome big brother." Su Ping's face was full of loving smiles, and she scolded with a smile on the side: "You two are still pretending to be polite." ”

The brother and sister walked out of the door together, and before Di Yunhao could push the door open, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps outside the door, and he opened the door first. A person hurriedly entered the door and almost bumped into Di Jingjing. Di Yunhao took the first step in front of Di Jingjing, and scolded: "Don't you have long eyes!"

The man hurriedly stopped, saluted Di Yunhao and Di Jingjing, and said, "The eldest prince atoned for his sins, and his subordinates were anxious for a while, and they collided with the son and the young lady. ”

Di Yunhao frowned and asked, "Is there anything urgent?"

"Master Hou called you over. The man didn't say much.

Di Yunhao looked at Su Ping with some confusion, and Su Ping also shook her head with a little confusion. It stands to reason that at this time his father should be busy arranging the affairs of the Eastern Crusade, and there is nothing to be entrusted to himself, and his own errands have always been flawed, and he really can't think of what his father called him to go over for.

Di Yunhao looked at Di Jingjing beside him, Di Jingjing chuckled and said, "Father's matter is important, big brother, hurry over." ”

Di Yunhao nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will make amends to the eldest lady another day." He followed the man and walked to the study in the Hou Mansion.

Di Yuan was sitting at the table, flipping through a military newspaper, and when he saw Di Yunhao enter the door, he beckoned to him, "Come and sit." ”

Di Yunhao sat down opposite Di Yuan and asked, "I don't know why my father called me today?"

"What is Ben Hou's most worried about now, do you know what?" Di Yuan put down the military report in his hand, looked at Di Yunhao, and asked.

"Naturally, it is a matter of sending troops to the east. ”

Di Yuan nodded: "Yes, originally the troops sent to the eastern border were just to fulfill the alliance with Yunzhou, the enemy is not tricky, and it doesn't matter what the result is, but in recent days, the discussion about this leader has been very hot." It seems that some people have spotted this opportunity to make meritorious contributions and want to show their skills. ”

Di Yunhao was secretly happy in his heart, and understood that it was Wu Qingwei who proposed to his father that Di Hui lead the troops, and listening to his father's tone, he seemed to be a little unhappy with her. In this way, his plan has not been disappointed.

He hurriedly said: "These things should be decided by my father, and I don't have to care about other people's opinions." ”

Di Yuan nodded approvingly: "Yes, since this is the case, then this errand will be handed over to you." ”

Di Yunhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would be wrong, but he didn't react for a while, and asked with a dry smile: "What does my father mean?"

"You will lead the Desert Wolf Battalion to Cheongju. Di Yuan smiled, his eyes were unpredictable.

"This military and political affairs have always been handled by the second brother, why did my father think of me today?"

"Hui'er's kid has a frizzy temperament, and it is difficult to take on major matters for the time being, but you are bold and careful, calm and capable, and you don't have the opportunity to go to the military camp on weekdays, but you can take this opportunity to exercise. After all, you are the heir of my Di clan, how can you not treat martial arts and shrink behind the scrolls all day long?"

Seeing Di Yunhao's embarrassed face, Di Yuan asked lightly, "You don't want to go?"

Di Yunhao hurriedly said: "Naturally not, everything is arranged by my father." It's just that I'm worried that my lack of experience will ruin my father's big things. ”

"Ben Hou has said, this battle is not tricky to deal with, and the result is not important, it should give you a chance to exercise. You just let it go, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Di Yunhao had no way to shirk, so he could only solemnly reply: "Yes!"

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Di Yunhao had a gloomy face all the way, and quickly returned to his residence, and before he entered the door, he said to the guard at the door: "Go and find Suo Pingzhang!"

After a cup of tea, Suo Pingzhang arrived in a panic, his clothes were still a little messy, and he was obviously in a hurry to go out. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted Di Yunhao and said, "Eldest prince, but what's the urgency?"

Di Yunhao said with a gloomy face: "Father informed me today that I will lead the army to the east. ”

Suo Pingzhang showed a surprised expression: "The eldest prince has always had no experience in military and political affairs, and he has always been low-key, why did the Hou Ye pick the eldest prince?"

Di Yunhao looked at Suo Pingzhang and asked coldly, "You don't know about this?"

"Wei Chen doesn't know! I also asked the eldest prince to investigate carefully. Suo Pingzhang noticed Di Yunhao's questioning gaze, and hurriedly bowed down and said, speaking very earnestly.

Di Yunhao snorted, and then said: "This matter is strange, eighty percent of people are making trouble behind their backs, not your best." ”

"Is that the eldest lady?"

"Wu Qingwei, that woman, has a vicious mind, but in terms of wisdom, she is still a little worse after all. She only thought that this matter would be of great benefit to the second child, and even if she risked offending her father, she would try it. She would never give me this kind of opportunity. Not to mention the second child, without Wu Qingwei and the Desert Wolf Camp, he is like a freshly weaned child, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

But no matter who mentions it, it is still Hou Ye who makes the final decision. Hou Ye chose the eldest prince, doesn't it mean that he trusts the eldest prince, or gives the eldest prince a chance to make contributions?" asked Suo Pingzhang.

Di Yunhao sneered: "This may not be. For the second child, this may be a great achievement, but for me, staying away from Shajiang City also means that my eyes are blackened and I have completely lost the initiative. ”

"Master Hou must have his own intentions in arranging such an arrangement. ”

Di Yunhao's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said: "The second child has been in the military camp for a long time, and he will definitely have some cronies in the army, if he is allowed to lead the troops on an expedition, without the suppression of his father's forces, it is inevitable that there will be uncontrollable factors in the army." But I'm different, I have no foundation in the army, and the expedition can keep me away from the court I am familiar with, so my father doesn't have to worry about what I can set off. ”

Suo Pingzhang said solemnly: "The Hou Ye is really meticulous, and even his own son is on guard, letting the two sons check and balance each other, while he holds on to power tightly. Hou Ye is really ambitious and has the same skills. ”

"If it's just for me and the second child to check and balance each other," Di Yunhao muttered thoughtfully, "I'm worried that if no one of them is making trouble, and my father is deliberately breaking me apart, then it means that my father is starting to suspect me." ”

Suo Pingzhang frowned and asked, "The eldest prince is talking about ......?"

Di Yunhao interrupted him and said, "This crusade, you are with me. ”

Suo Pingzhang was stunned for a moment, and Di Yunhao continued: "I don't have experience in marching, for these things, you are the only one who can be used around, I don't want to become a bare-bones commander in the army." ”

"But if the eldest prince is suspicious, shouldn't he leave people behind to prevent accidents?"

"I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. You can follow me with peace of mind. Di Yunhao's eyes flashed with a treacherous light when he looked at Suo Pingzhang

Suo Pingzhang nodded unconsciously: "The eldest prince has an order, and Weichen naturally obeys it." ”

"Then you go down first. I'll let you know before I go. ”

Suo Pingzhang bent over, backwards and slowly exited the door. The moment he turned around, the sneer on his face was fleeting.
