November 14 is a good day, the eyes are full of good news, first Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding came from Jizhou good news, has successfully controlled Jizhou Wei. Then he received a letter from Lin Heng from the settlement at the eastern foot of Hangai Mountain, this year's snow in Mobei is not big, dry and cold, he has begun to organize young herdsmen to go into the mountains to cut down trees, and then build a city after the spring frost melts, just like Helin built a county town with the architectural style of the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the characteristics of the grassland life of the northern nomads.

Jia Jue is happy, this kid has a big heart, he is going to build a county town when he comes up, and he complains about it, and his brother-in-law's work still has to be supported, after all, it will become the forefront of the Ming army's attack on Lingbei in the future, he spread out the letterhead, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to him, telling him that the city wall must be built strongly, and the houses used to house the Han people can be postponed, and the city wall must be built first.

After thinking about it, he got up and took out a blank official document from the bookcase with the military department, wrote him a warrant for the transfer of troops, and stamped his own military marquis seal.

The letter and warrant were placed in a leather lettercase, then placed in a letterbox, locked, and sealed with lacquer.

After finishing all this, he spread out the Southern Xinjiang Army newspaper copied by the Ministry of War, looked at it, showed a blank look in his eyes, and then looked down.

After several skirmishes, the Ming army took the initiative to retreat, set up an ambush in the middle reaches of the Heishui River, annihilated the 20,000 Annan soldiers who were chasing, and captured seventeen war elephants alive, among which the white elephant ridden by the little prince of Annan was sent to Beijing, and it could arrive after the year.

Is the little prince of Annam dead?

The mount white elephant was also exploded!

This script is wrong!

Jia Jue raised his head and thought silently, stunned for a moment, habitually picked up the tea bowl, opened the lid of the bowl, but it was already dry, he was used to looking at the chair by the door curtain, there was no one, so he had to put down the tea bowl again and continue to look at the military newspaper.

At this time, Amber came in with a wooden plate, which was a plate of lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake and a plate of cream-fried small flour fruits.

"Okay, I'm not going to drink it now." Jia Jue was still looking down at the military newspaper.

Amber placed the tray on the small wooden table beside her, went outside and lifted the copper kettle on the small stove, and went to the book to make tea.

Jia Jue: "Where are you from?" ”

"My uncle sent some snacks, and my wife asked me to take some for the third master to taste."

Jia Jue: "Oh? He glanced up, then shook his head: "You can eat." ”

Amber nodded, then picked a peony and tasted it, and said with a smile: "No wonder Miss Xing said that the dim sum made in the kitchen is average, and Mrs. Uncle's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Jia Jue picked up the tea bowl and drank a few sips in succession before putting it down again.

Amber picked another piece of cake and handed it to Jia Jue's mouth: "Third Master taste it." ”

Jia Jue only tasted one bite, frowned and said, "It's too sweet." ”

Amber: "Oh. "I ate the rest of the half.

At this time, Jia Zhong's voice came from outside the house: "Master Hou, Qi Guogong is here." ”

When Jia Jue heard this, he hurriedly got up: "Please!" ”

Chen Ruiwen strode in with a cold air.

Jia Jue greeted him and took off the cloak on his body for him, "Why are you here?" ”

"Third master, I'll come!" Amber took the cloak and walked over to a hanger by the brazier and hung it on the hanger. And he added some sandalwood to the censer, and blew an open fire, so that the house was warmer again.

Jia Jue helped Chen Ruiwen sit down on the chair next to the book.

Amber brought a bowl of hot tea, and then held a bowl of tea to Jia Jue, and then walked out.

Chen Ruiwen took a few sips of the tea bowl, slowed down a little, and then said, "I just came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.....

"What's wrong?" Jia Jue asked.

"Li Wenzhong's army has passed Jiming Mountain!"

Jia Jue's face sank: "Why is it so fast?!" ”

Chen Ruiwen sighed: "There is a feeling, I can't say it, I don't know if I'm worried or scared....."

Jia Jue looked at Chen Ruiwen with wide eyes and fixed eyes.

Chen Ruiwen: "I always feel that things are not so simple! You say, did we miss something?! ”

Jia Jue: "Hmm? ”

"Just in the Yangxin Palace, Zhang Jiacheng said that more than 130,000 victims have gathered outside the city, and there is a steady stream of victims coming behind, which may exceed 200,000, if you calculate it in this way, it will consume more than 3,000 stones of grain a day, which is not counting the consumption of the people in Shenjing City." Chen Ruiwen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Judging from the current grain storage in several granaries, once the grain from outside cannot be transported in, Shenjing will not be able to survive even twenty days!" ”

Jia Jue was taken aback: "Are you always worried about the grain in Jiangnan?" ”

Chen Ruiwen shook his head lightly: "It is snowing heavily in the entire Gyeonggi, and the grain that arrives in Tianjin by sea can only take the official road. Not only did he control the waterway grain route, but he also controlled the hundreds of thousands of stone grains stored inside and outside Tongzhou City. This is the real bottom of the kettle! ”

"Hiss ....."

When Jia Jue heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath, if this was the case, the military would have completely fallen into a disadvantage, and he couldn't fight, so he could only watch, and then wait for the showdown of the emperor.

The two of them sat like this, and there was a dark silence.

Jia Jue pondered, and suddenly remembered something: "I remember that this month's rotation stationed in the Universiade West Cang is the Yaowu Battalion of the Marquis of Tai'an, without today's holy decree or military department order, they will not let out the granary, if the Emperor Taishang's people want to take the Universiade West Cang, they can only step over their corpses." Whether it is the Da Ming Law or the military law and military regulations, attacking officials and soldiers is regarded as rebellion, which is a felony of the Zhu clan.

We can ask for an order to besiege Tongzhou City and force the Emperor Taishang to give up Tongzhou City, otherwise we will deal with it according to the law and attack the city directly! As for the people in Tongzhou City..... For the sake of the overall situation, I can't take care of so much! ”

After a pause, "This is a farce, the fight is who is shameless, and who can put down his body more!" ”

Chen Ruiwen was stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "So many people..... If they insist on going their own way, they even burn the stockpile......"

Jia Jue thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid, you can't turn the sky." It happened that Lin Zhixiao took more than 2,000 young people to Tianjin to ship timber and stone, so I sent someone to tell him to transport the grain blocked in Tianjin back to Beijing first. ”

Chen Ruiwen: "In this case, let's enter the palace immediately, just to let the emperor see the emperor clearly..... Don't hesitate any longer. ”

Jia Jue: "Go now?" ”

Chen Ruiwen glared at him: "When are you going?" ”

Jia Jue: "That's fine." While locking the military newspaper on the book into the bookcase on his side, he nagged: "You are old in the Spring and Autumn Period, you can't help the cold, Baba came from home in the snow, fortunately there are no outsiders, if others know, wouldn't it be said that I am frivolous!" The next time something happens, you always tell it. ”

When Chen Ruiwen heard this, he got up and said, "You are a multi-minded person, if you think like this, I don't have such a heart." ”

Knowing that Chen Ruiwen was ridiculing himself, Jia Jue was not annoyed, "It's extremely cold this year, don't freeze anymore." As he spoke, he took off the cloak hanging on the hanger by the brazier and put it on Chen Ruiwen.

Chen Ruiwen smiled: "Actually, you are not a bad person.....

Jia Jue: "Good guy? He put on his cloak and stretched out a hand to hold him: "There is no good person in this world.....

Heavy snow is falling.

Jia Jue, who was dressed in fox fur, walked towards Yimen with Chen Ruiwen in his arms, and the two stepped on the snow on the road, making a clattering sound, and Jia Gui led several personal soldiers to follow from afar.

............

Mrs. Wang sat on the couch with her eyes slightly closed, counting the rosaries.

On the eucalyptus table in front of him, a Tibetan incense floated with green smoke of birds.

A letter was placed by the censer.

The door curtain was lifted, and Caiyun walked in silently, looking at Mrs. Wang, who was chanting words in her mouth.

Suddenly, all the sound stopped abruptly, and Mrs. Wang opened her eyes suddenly.

Caiyun stepped forward, "Madam, Zhou Rui's family is here." ”

Madame Wang looked at the letter on the eucalyptus table, and her fingers grinded the rosary vigorously one by one.

Caiyun: "Mrs. ....."

Mrs. Wang's hand holding the rosary trembled slightly, and Jia Jue's voice was in her ears: "If I find it again, I will send Baoyu to Xishan to dig coal....... Send Baoyu to Xishan to dig coal ....."

The rosary she was holding in her hand was also sweating.

Suddenly, the rosary fell to the ground with a "click", and the beads jumped and scattered all over the ground.

Mrs. Wang trembled in shock, stood up hurriedly, looked at the beads scattered all over the ground, moved her lips, and was speechless for a long time.

Caiyun froze there in fright.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and said to Caiyun, "Let Zhou Rui's family come in." ”

"Yes." Caiyun hurriedly walked out.

Zhou Ruijia walked in cautiously and said in a low voice, "Madam." ”

Mrs. Wang looked her up and down: "Just from home?" ”

Zhou Ruijia: "Yes." I heard that my wife had something to order, so I came over. ”

Mrs. Wang: "I heard that you have been in a hot relationship with Meng Yunxuan's housekeeper recently?" ”

Zhou Ruijia was stunned by this question and did not reply immediately.

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui's family coldly, knowing that it was useless to say it, her anger was slowly suppressed, and she said coldly: "Please do me a favor!" ”

Zhou Ruijia knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang with a plop, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Mrs! I am the slave you brought from the royal family..... The slave knows it's wrong! Immediately knocked his head on the ground.

Mrs. Wang's face looked better, and her voice softened: "Why did you give the antique shop to the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce without my consent?" ”

Zhou Ruijia: "The slave should die." The slave maid was also anxious at that time, worried about the recurrence of the grassland people, and was unwilling to disturb the wife to worship the Buddha because of such a trivial matter, and there was nothing to eat. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled at this time: "You have served me for almost forty years, and I still believe in you." Send this letter to the eldest girl, and let her see it. ”

Zhou Ruijia: "Yes." Sweating profusely, he got up, picked up the letter on the eucalyptus table with both hands, and withdrew.

Mrs. Wang looked at the disappearing back of Zhou Rui's family, and a cold light appeared in her eyes......

.............

Qin Luduan sat on the big tent seat.

Lin Lei, the deputy general of the forbidden army, strode in with a knife covered in snow, followed by a group of forbidden troops.

Lin Lei walked to the big tent and stood still, and unfolded the holy decree of Emperor Yong'an: "Your Majesty has a decree, Qin Lu kneels to take it!" ”

Qin Lu was startled, stood up and walked over to kneel.

Lin Lei: "Lin Lei took over the position of the commander of Qin Lu's Xiaoyong battalion!" Loyal and diligent uncle, hand over the seal! ”

.............

Yang Wei camped the big tent, and Wang Yang led a group of generals to kneel and listen to the order.

The eunuch was sent to the eunuch: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Yang Wei, the battalion commander Wang Yang, seeks to share the honor, removes all positions, and hands it over to the military department for trial and conviction." Chin this! ”

Wang Yang was stunned and froze there.

Adjutant General: "Commander, thank you!" ”

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment: "Can you show me His Majesty's holy decree?" ”

The eunuch handed over the decree: "Look." ”

Wang Yang glanced at Zhu Wucheng's holy decree, got up and put it on Shuai Eucalyptus, took out the secret decree of Emperor Tianyou from his arms and said loudly: "Emperor Taishang's edict!" The congregation will take the order! ”

The generals hesitated a little and fell to their knees.

Wang Yang snorted coldly, and unfolded Zhu Qinde's holy decree solemnly: "Command: Wang ....., the commander of the Yangwei camp. Yes! ”

Several forbidden soldiers glanced at each other, and stepped forward with their guns, three spears pierced Wang Yang's chest at the same time, Wang Yang glanced at the spear inserted into his chest in disbelief, and the secret decree of Emperor Tianyou slipped from his hand, and he fell straight to the ground.

There was a commotion in the tent.....

..............

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Zhao Sheng, the commander of the Zhenwei camp, is loyal and diligent, and I am very pleased. Marquis of Jin San, reward for wearing bullfighting clothes! ”

Zhao Sheng was simply stunned, lying on the ground motionless, forgetting to thank him.

Dong Shan gently reminded: "Lord Zhao, thank you." ”

Zhao Sheng woke up at this time, kowtowed again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister Zhao Sheng bows to thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

Dong Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the Heart Cultivation Palace!" ”

.............

Daiyu took the letter, looked at it, and laughed to herself.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Jia Jue walked in: "What are you secretly happy about here?" ”

Daiyu handed over the letter: "Look at it, Wang Ziteng's letter." This prince Teng is simply stunned, an illusory promise, he will actually believe it. For the sake of a knighthood, he dared to wade into this troubled water. Next year, the Yangxin Palace will definitely send a supervising army eunuch to the Mobei garrison, see how he fills this hole, this is 20,000 excellent military horses! ”

Jia Jue glanced at the letter and smiled: "He just has commendable courage." Speaking of this, he was surprised: "Where did this letter come from?" ”

Daiyu: "Zhou Rui's family sent it, the meaning of the second wife." ”

Jia Jue smiled: "It seems that Baoyu is really her heart." ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and chuckled: "You are embarrassed to say that the old lady is still angry with her liver pain." ”

Jia Jue sneered: "If she dares to be a demon, I will dare to send Baoyu to Xishan to dig coal!" ”

Daiyu: "The second wife still knows the seriousness of the matter, otherwise she would not have sent this letter, if it was sent directly to the palace, it would definitely be known by the emperor, and it would not only be Wang Ziteng who would be unlucky at that time." ”

Jia Jue shook the letter in his hand: "This farce is a big fire pit, as long as you jump in, you will be burned to pieces." This father and son are evil. I'm a little skeptical that it's a collusion to dig a pit and get everyone to jump inside. ”

Daiyu was surprised when she heard this, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"News came from the eyeliner buried by the king of Beihai County in Juyong Pass, and the Juyong Pass guard received a secret decree from the emperor to let Li Wenzhong's army enter the pass."

Daiyu groaned slightly: "..... The emperor wants those hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses? ”

Jia Jue nodded: "This father and son really cooperate tacitly, at that time, it was not only an expedient measure to keep Li Wenzhong's troops in Mobei, but also the calculations of several of our families, but I didn't expect this hundreds of thousands of troops to come back." Hehe..... The military power of Yang Wei's third battalion was also obediently ceded....."

After a pause, "Perhaps..... This Tongzhou military grain depot will be the territory of the forbidden army in the future..."

"That prince ....."

Jia Jue said slowly: "The emperor didn't take it seriously at all, besides, he just lent the horse to Li Wenzhong, not 20,000 soldiers..... There are many reasons...."Speaking of this, he turned around in a circle, "I can see that the old emperor didn't want to restore at all, he just wanted to collect military power for the emperor..... If he could, he would like to clean up the few of us together..... Without the Tongzhou military grain depot, the military department will be subject to the palace in the future! ”
