With the return of the main force of the Northwest Army, the herdsmen who had been released by Hou Jian, the grassland and Xiao Lie were in an extremely awkward position, and had to gather their forces and withdraw from the northwest.

In the cold morning, a young man in a dark armor walked into the palace at the highest point in the central capital with dew.

The Tiger Battalion armor soldier who was responsible for defending the palace did not stop the young man from swaggering into the palace too much, and even the leading commander was very familiar with the young man, and after the young man responded with a smile, he entered the gate of the palace, and went straight to the back mansion without stopping all the way.

Xiao Yu has no concubines, only one wife, so the palace is not as strictly guarded as the emperor's harem, if it is a close person, even a man can enter it directly. There are not many men who can be regarded as close to Xiao Yu, his younger brother Xiao Jin is counted as one, brother-in-law Lin Han is counted as one, and there are henchmen such as Lan Yu and Qu Cang.

This young man who directly entered the back house was Xiao Yu's brother-in-law, Lin Han, who had just returned to Zhongdu, and the person he wanted to meet was his sister, Princess Lin Yinping.

After the ceremony, Lin Han went to Linfeng Pavilion, where he met Lin Yinping, who had just had breakfast. Looking at his sister, who looked much better, Lin Han was both happy and a little worried, happy that since his sister was pregnant, the prince's brother-in-law was very restrained and didn't do anything to make his sister angry. Worrying about my sister's body, needless to say, the danger of having a child, especially the first child, one bad is one corpse and two lives, my sister is too weak and has been sick for a long time, how can people not worry?

Thinking of this, Lin Han inevitably had a little resentment towards Xiao Yu, if it wasn't for what happened back then, my sister's cultivation would not have been lost, and I dare not say that it was a high level of cultivation, but after all, there would be no suffering from illness, let alone the current sick appearance. However, he also knew that it was a helpless move forced by the situation at that time, so he never put this resentment into his mouth, but only occasionally remembered and felt sorry for his sister.

Lin Yinping didn't think about it so much, they all said that the eldest sister is like a mother, although the age difference between her and Lin Han is not much, but she watched Lin Han grow up little by little, and now her parents have died, so in her heart, in addition to her husband and unborn son, it is this younger brother who is the most important. She looked at the frosty color on her brother's face, and said distressedly: "Xiao Han, I haven't seen you for half a year, although my face is whiter, but I have lost weight, and I have suffered a lot outside." ”

Lin Han smiled: "My sister is wrong, it's not that she's thin, it's strong." ”

Lin Yinping beckoned, let Lin Han walk in a few steps, then reached out and pinched his arm, and said softly: "You are also old, you must have a rule in the future, Lin Li's girl has a lot of eyes, there are some things you can listen to her, don't ignore it as soon as your brain is hot." Especially when leading the army outside, you must know to cherish yourself, don't follow your brother-in-law's example, and be careful in everything. Your brother-in-law can't listen to these words, but my sister hopes that you can remember them in your heart, and don't think your sister nags. ”

Lin Han smiled and said, "Sister, I can memorize these words, do I remember them in my heart." ”

Lin Yinping raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, but he just raised his hand and immediately put it down. First, Lin Han's skin is rough and thick, and it doesn't hurt or itch to hit it, and secondly, he is reluctant to play. From the grassland to the northwest, between the two sisters and brothers, let alone fighting, they have never even said anything heavy with a red face.

Lin Han pulled an embroidery pier and sat in front of Lin Yinping, raised his head and said softly: "Sister, in fact, I know that you have not had a good time these years, in the early years when you were in the royal court, the red lady looked at our sister and brother unpleasantly, and tried every means to get rid of us, but you have been in the way." Later, when I came to the northwest, I still had to rely on your face to gain a foothold. ”

Lin Han paused for a moment, looked around slightly out of the corner of his eye, and then said softly: "In ordinary people's families, if the elder sister is married, as long as the younger brother is still a little promising, he must pretend to be a wicked person and say almost cruel things to his brother-in-law, for fear that his brother-in-law will bully the sister who left home." But what about me? Don't say anything ruthless, even if you say something fair. In the end, it's useless for me, sister, you're angry, I can't do anything, and I have to accompany my brother-in-law with a smiling face, it's really a wretch. ”

Lin Yinping pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No one bullied my sister, and no one gave my sister any anger." ”

Lin Han said seriously: "Sister!"

Lin Yinping straightened his face and said, "Sister is fine, really." How can there be a husband and wife in the world who don't quarrel? Your brother-in-law was affected by the events of his early years, and his temperament was a little extreme, but it was not to the point of making his sister angry. Don't think about it, follow your brother-in-law to do things, don't say what you said to others in the future, and your sister shouldn't have heard it. ”

Lin Han touched his nose and sighed.

――

There was also Min Xing who came back with Lin Han, of course, there was a difference between the two, Lin Han came back on his own initiative, while Min Xing was summoned by Xiao Yu and had to come back.

As for the battle on the Xihe Plain, it has been handed over by Xiao Yu to Xu Lin and Wei Ban to preside.

Min Xing, who was regarded as the future governor of the capital, came to the gate of the palace, and the commander of the guards guarding the door just greeted him lightly, just like Min Xing's embarrassing situation in Zhongdu now.

When Lin Yinping took power on his behalf, Minxing's life was relatively good, but after Xiao Yu woke up, it was more difficult, especially many old people in the northwest who were dissatisfied with Minxing's separation from Xu Lin's self-reliance, and there were many yin and yang gossip.

In the past, when Min Xing was strong, he could laugh at these private rumors, but at this point, he could no longer turn a blind eye, so after Min Xing entered the palace, along the way, he saw many governors and governors who knew the same thing, and they all smiled at each other, and it was not until Wen Tizhai that he restrained the smile on his face.

At this time, Xiao Yu was splashing ink in front of the bookcase.

When Zhang Baisui passed the news that Min Xingzhenghou, the official of the palm seal of the Shaanxi Central Bank Camp, was outside the door, Xiao Yu did not immediately call in, and he didn't even put down the Zihao in his hand, and after writing the poem for a while, he handed the Zihao in his hand to Moshu, and then took the towel and wiped his hands, and said calmly: "Come in." ”

Min Xing walked into Wen Ti Zhai without saying a word, and knelt directly in front of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu sat on the chair and waved his hand, and Moshu and Zhang Baisui slowly withdrew from Wen Ti Zhai.

Only then did Xiao Yu speak: "Zhixing, do you know why this king summoned you back to Zhongdu?"

Min Xing was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The criminal is careless, please punish the prince." ”

Xiao Yu said expressionlessly: "What a careless mistake, Min Xing, do you think that only by making up for it in the future, this king can't do anything to you?"

Min Xing suddenly kowtowed: "Min Xing doesn't dare!"

Xiao Yu sneered: "Don't dare? You dare to treat this king as a fool, what else don't you dare?!"

Min Xing didn't dare to say another word, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, his forehead was blue and red.

Xiao Yu got up from the chair and said coldly: "Min Xing, you and Lin Han are so careful, do you really think that this king doesn't know? This king just doesn't want to worry about you." Party strife, for thousands of years, whether it is a bright monarch or a faint monarch, it is difficult to stop, and this king does not think that he can compare with those emperors through the ages, but there must be a limit to party strife, if anyone dares to miss a major event because of party strife, no matter who it is, this king will never be spared. ”

I don't know whether I regret it or am afraid, Min Xing's body trembled slightly.

Xiao Yu is known for being mean and unkind, and what he says is never forgiving, I'm afraid it's only slightly better than death.

Xiao Yu softened his tone slightly, and said indifferently: "Min Xing, this king called you here today, I think you also know in your heart that this king will not treat you well, at most it will be a reprimand, so you should also know that there must not be a second time for such a thing, otherwise this king will really leave you with nothing." ”

Xiao Yu then asked, "Do you understand?"

Min Xing's forehead touched the cold ground, and he said in a deep voice: "No." ”

On this day, when Min Xing, one of the four major palm seal officials under the Grand Governor, walked out of the palace, although his forehead was full of blood, he had a relaxed smile on his face.

The next day, the Dadu Governor's Mansion issued the Northwest Wang's Decree, the left governor of Min Xing was ineffective, and the left was moved to the right governor, and he still took the camp in Shaanxi to atone for his crimes.

After this decree was issued, all the voices of attack on Min Xing disappeared.

The people in the northwest understood in their hearts that this matter was taken lightly by the prince, and it was considered a thing of the past.
