Shangguan Xiu's impression of Zhang Qiu is average, to be precise, he has no good impression of people in the rivers and lakes. He smiled lightly www.biquge.info the pen fun pavilion and said: "Since you can use Zhangqiu well, then, you will continue to use him in the future, but remember not to raise tigers for trouble." ”

"Brother Xiu, I understand. Qian Jin nodded in response, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Brother Xiu hasn't seen Qingling yet, right?"

"I've seen it. ”

"Huh?" Qian Jin was a little surprised.

"I saw it in the palace. ”

She ...... What is she going to do in the palace?Could it be that His Majesty wants to attack Qing Ling?" Qian Jin's face changed suddenly.

Shangguan Xiu gave him a funny look and asked, "What are you doing so nervous?"

"I ...... I'm not nervous,......," Qian Jin said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty doesn't mean to attack Qing Ling, it's just that you should treat her as a friend!" he said this, which was tantamount to helping Tang Ling speak.

What kind of person is Tang Ling, how could she make friends casually, no matter how big Qing Ling makes the Gu family's industry, it will not be able to enter Tang Ling's eyes, she asked Qing Ling to go to the palace, in fact, it is a warning in the reminder.

When Qian Jin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered thoughtfully: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't have the heart to harm Qingling." ”

Shangguan Xiu changed his words and asked, "Ah Jin is going to stay in Yuzhen in the future?"

Qian Jin came back to his senses, and Zhengse said: "The general number of Sitong Silver is located in Yuzhen, I stay here, it is more convenient to do things, and Yuzhen is not far from Shangjing, if there is anything important, I can rush back to Shangjing at any time and discuss with Brother Xiu." ”

"It's fine. Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "Qingling is now helpless in Yuzhen, you stay here, and I am much more relieved to have you to help her." ”

Shangguan Xiu's words made Qian Jin's old face red, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother Xiu, I'm ...... I'll take care of Qingling more. ”

"That's very good. ”

"Brother Xiu is going back to Beijing this time, is he going to marry His Majesty?"

"Perhaps. ”

"That'...... What will Qing Ling do in the future?"

Seeing Shangguan Xiu looking at him, Qian Jin immediately lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "After Brother Xiu and His Majesty get married, if they still have anything to do with Qingling, I will ...... I'm worried that Your Majesty will be unfavorable to Qingling. ”

Shangguan Xiu misunderstood what Qian Jin meant, he narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "The people I want to protect, no one can move." By Qingling's side, there have always been people arranged by me, and if someone really wants to be unfavorable to Qingling, they will protect them desperately. ”

Qian Jin's words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and didn't say anything more. He is Shangguan Xiu's brother, and he is not easy to say some things directly, and he is not good at moving around some things.

The next day, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling left Yuzhen and returned to Shangjing.

For the return of the two of them to Beijing, the people of Beijing welcomed them. This time, in the midst of the national war, the wind army greatly promoted the national prestige and expanded the territory, so that the people of the wind country have a sense of pride and honor.

Tang Ling, who drove the expedition in person, and Shangguan Xiu, who directly led the army to fight, are undoubtedly the two people with the greatest credit, how could the people of Beijing not welcome the return of the two of them to Beijing?

In this national war against Besa, the Wind Country benefited a lot, and Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu were also the biggest beneficiaries.

The prestige of both of them has been greatly improved, especially Tang Ling, originally there were still many people inside and outside the court who were suspicious of her, and the great victory in this national war made people see that there was another wise monarch in the Wind Country.

As for Shangguan Xiu, his folk prestige is already very high, and this victory is just the icing on the cake for him, and the evaluation of Shangguan Xiu is still mixed, those who hate him still hate him, and those who love him still respect him.

However, Shangguan Xiu's prestige in the army reached an unprecedented peak, and when he and Tang Ling entered the city, the soldiers standing guard on both sides of the street were excited, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "Zhenguo Gong!

Even when the general Wu Peng returned to Beijing, he had not been treated like this.

The soldiers in the army know best how difficult the national war is, the Zhenjun army is only 400,000 people, under the leadership of Shangguan Xiu, can go all the way like a bamboo, invincible, invincible, directly take the capital of Besa Goro, and force the royal court of Besa to sign a peace treaty, which is simply a myth in the history of the Fengguo army.

Except for the Founding Emperor, no one in the history of the Wind Country has ever had such a brilliant record.

Tang Ling, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the soldiers shouting in unison outside, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting beside her, completely silent, with a smile on her face.

When she really fell in love with him, she no longer cared about who was higher or lower in prestige, everything about him was everything to hers, and in the same way, everything she had was also all his, and the two people were completely integrated.

She took his hand and smiled at him. Shangguan Xiu's indifferent face also showed a smile, and he held Tang Ling's hand.

That night, Tang Ling held a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers of the court.

There were not many generals who participated in the banquet, and civilian officials accounted for the vast majority. After all, the main force of the Central Army of the Wind Country is stationed outside Beijing, and there are not many Central Army troops left in Beijing, and most of the generals in the army are also outside.

For this kind of banquet for the ministers, Tang Ling will rarely participate from beginning to end, usually only half of the banquet, she will leave, this time is no exception, waiting for the wine to pass three rounds, the dishes have passed five flavors, Tang Ling did not stay in the banquet more, and went back to the harem to rest.

Tang Ling walked away, the ministers were a lot more relaxed, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. Cai Xiao, who was sitting in the chief civil official, picked up his wine glass, raised it to Shangguan Xiu's side, and said with a smile: "The old man has to give a glass to Lord Shangguan, this time Lord Shangguan has laid down a huge northern county for my country, and let my country's territory expand to the north, which is all the credit of Lord Shangguan!"

Hearing his words, many civil officials also raised their glasses and said, "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan, for your miraculous achievements for my gale!"

Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, what he was most tired of was this kind of intrigue in the court.

Cai Xiao's words, you have to listen to them on both sides, on the surface they are complimenting him, but in fact they are pushing him to the fire and roasting. The credit for winning Beijun is all his own, so what does His Majesty think? What do the soldiers in the army think? What does Wu Peng think?

With an understatement, he was put on the side of competing with His Majesty and opposing the officers and soldiers in the army, if you follow Cai Xiao's words, you don't even know how he died in the end.

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "Lord Cai said that he laughed, taking Beijun is the work of His Majesty and the whole army and the soldiers of the whole army, and the merits of the show are insignificant, how dare they take the lead?"

Cai Xiao looked up and laughed and said, "Lord Shangguan is too humble. When Lord Shangguan returned to Beijing, the army and the people shouted for their prestige, which can be seen from this, and when the general returned to Beijing, he ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looked at Wu Peng, who was not looking good, he hurriedly snorted, and said: "The old man lost his words, the old man punished himself with a glass!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Wu Peng's face was even more gloomy, he didn't smile and squeezed a smile, and said: "Lord Cai is indeed a gaffe, I am only a general of the defeated army and a captured minister, how can I be compared with Lord Shangguan who has made great contributions? Isn't Lord Cai humiliating Lord Shangguan with me?"

"Yes, yes, the old man will punish himself again!"

watched Cai Xiao and Wu Peng sing and harmonize, and finished when he didn't exist. The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, and he said slowly: "As the saying goes, if the clay pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, and in the world, how can there be an army that wins a hundred battles, and who has not tasted defeat? How can Xiu not have a single defeat in the past? Only judge heroes by temporary success or failure, this is the remarks of a layman, if someone not only judges heroes by success or failure, but also flatters openly and secretly derogatory, and is even more ill-intentioned, his heart can be punished, does General Wu think what Xiuzhi said is reasonable?"

Hearing his words, the generals present all felt the same way and nodded their heads. If the battle is won, the sycophancy will lift you up to the sky, and if the battle is lost, you will be reduced to dust and trampled to death.

When the two armies are fighting and the situation of the battle is changing rapidly, who dares to guarantee that they will be able to win the battle? You think that you yourself are a genius in commanding troops, but how can you dare to guarantee that the enemy will not have a genius in commanding troops?

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it is not the self-consolation of the generals, the situation on the battlefield is like this, as long as the battle is not over, the victory or defeat of the two sides is not divided.

Wu Peng was stunned, and two unnatural flushes appeared on his gloomy face. He secretly said ashamed, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, and saluted Shangguan Xiu: "Lord Shangguan is worthy of being born in the army, and he understands the way of the two armies to fight, the old man respects Lord Shangguan!"

"The general is polite, dry!" Shangguan Xiu and Wu Peng sat next to each other, the two of them bumped their glasses into each other, and both drank the wine in the cups.

Seeing this, Cai Xiao's face was still smiling, but the fist placed under the table was slowly clenched. Before he could rush to attack again, Qiu Yi raised his glass and said, "Old man Jing General and Lord Shangguan have returned triumphantly!"

"Thank you, Lord Qiu, do it!"

Cai Xiao really wanted to stir up the relationship between Shangguan Xiu and Wu Peng. At present, the number one people in the Feng Army are Shangguan Xiu and Wu Peng, if there is no gap between the two of them and they are together, then the Feng Army is a monolith, no one wants to meddle in it again, and if the military is lost, the interests of Cai Xiao and others will be directly damaged.

In addition, the most critical point is that only when Shangguan Xiu and Wu Peng have internal friction, can he take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to overthrow Shangguan Xiu, at least he can seize the opportunity to weaken Shangguan Xiu's power, otherwise, his power in the court will only become more and more entrenched, and at that time, the Cai family will never have a good life again.

The struggle for power and profit in the court is a war without gunpowder but related to the life and death of both sides, and if you can't put the other party to death, then you may die in the end.

After the banquet, everyone left the palace one after another, and when they walked out, Cai Xiao deliberately caught up with Wu Peng, and said with a smile: "General, the old man didn't mean to be derogatory just now, the general should not be provoked by the villain!"

What kind of person is Cai Xiao, and how can Wu Peng, who has been in the same palace with him for decades, not understand? He smiled lightly and said: "Lord Cai is laughing, but I will not take my unintentional words to heart. ”

"Shangguan Xiu's prestige in the army is now unrivaled, and his momentum is even more vigorous, if General Wu can't prepare early and bring down Shangguan Xiu, in the end, I'm afraid that General Wu's fate will be ......" Speaking of this, he deliberately didn't finish his words, just smiled bitterly and shook his head, while peeking at Wu Peng.
