The eldest princess of Sheng'an, the duchess of the country and the other people listened to the cronies of the old protector of the country recount in detail what they had heard from Zhou Che, and the ladies sometimes opened their eyes wide, and sometimes covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and exclaimed.

The eldest princess of Sheng'an heard that Su Rong was almost killed by Nangong Yu, her face changed, and when she heard that Zhou Gu led people to break into the military camp twice to kill the main general, her heart was raised, and it was not until she heard that Nanping won the first battle to defend Nanping City, and Su Rong wrote a letter to accept Zhang Yun before she breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Duchess Guo's eyes were red, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Thank God, everyone is fine." ”

If something happens to Su Rong, with Zhou Gu's feelings for her, she is afraid that her son will have nothing to live in this life. If something happens to Zhou Gu, not to mention Su Rong, she, as a mother, doesn't have to live in the first place.

"yes, thank goodness, it's fine." The eldest princess of Sheng An didn't know what to say, and she was naturally excited, after all, her youngest grandson had grown up, but she felt that he was too risky, or too young to protect herself.

After the cronies finished speaking, they remembered one thing, "When the second son of the Nanchu Night Prime Minister's Mansion left Beijing, Miss Su Qi withdrew the marriage contract with him. The fourth prince didn't know what method he used, so he asked Miss Seven to write a marriage letter to him, which he carried with him every day, and he was very happy. ”

"Really?" The Duchess of the Kingdom was overjoyed.

This is really a happy event for her, and she no longer has to worry about her son liking Su Rongqiu.

"Seriously, I am beside the old father-in-law, and I have also seen the marriage book, and the fourth son's baby is tight." The cronies are definitely authentic.

The Duchess immediately smiled.

The eldest princess of Sheng'an's focus was on Su Rong's divorce with him on the day Ye Guixue left Beijing, she was stunned for a moment, "Do you know the reason why she and Ye Guixue divorced?" ”

The cronies nodded, "The fourth prince said, Miss Su Qi was extremely soft on him, knowing that his heart was like a rock and he was afraid that he would not be able to end in the future, so she withdrew from the marriage with the second son of the night, and originally planned to tell the fourth prince so early, but the fourth prince saved the life of Miss Seven from Nangong Yu at a critical moment, and Miss Seven couldn't bear to suffer him anymore, so she told him about it, and then the fourth prince asked for a marriage letter, and he was very happy. ”

The eldest princess of Sheng An also smiled when she heard this, "I'll just say that Brother Gu is the most pleasing, how did Su Rong's little girl bear it?" Even if he is hard-hearted, he can't stand his appearance. ”

She asked a lot more about the details, and the cronies answered everything they knew, and the eldest princess of Sheng An was happy, and after rewarding the cronies, she let him go and rest quickly.

Yan Echo listened to the story retold by the old protector himself, and naturally did not have a cronie to retell the details to the eldest princess of Sheng'an and other female dependents, after he finished speaking, he got back to business, talked about Su Rong's borrowing of troops, and then handed Su Rong's letter to Yan Echo to see.

Yan Huisheng took Su Rong's letter, opened it and read it, and couldn't help laughing, "300,000 soldiers and horses, Gu agrees." ”

He hardly had to think about it, he didn't have to hesitate to make this decision, he believed in Su Rong, and it was true that the Liang Imperial Court couldn't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses now, and he couldn't let them disarm and return to the field. can not only borrow troops to protect Su Rong's safety, but also allow her to help raise soldiers, killing two birds with one stone, why not? Su Rong's safety is guaranteed, and the smooth succession to the king of Southern Chu is the most beneficial to Daliang.

The old protector knew that he would agree, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. ”

The kitchen of the Guogong Mansion moved quickly, and it didn't take much time to make a feast.

After Yan Echo stayed in the Guogong Mansion for dinner, he wanted the old Guogong to rest today and enter the palace tomorrow to tell the emperor, but the old Guogong is a particular person, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, His Majesty sits on the throne one day, and he has to respect his king one day, so he went to the palace with Yan Echo.

The emperor naturally had already received the news that the old protector had returned to Beijing, and waited patiently until the evening, and finally waited for the old protector to enter the palace.

The old protector of the country used a few words, talked about how to hold Nanping and the subdued Northern Hebei Army, he saw that the emperor wanted to ask carefully, he hid his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister also heard it, not very detailed, and when Su Rong's little girl returns to Beijing, you ask her carefully." ”

The emperor only paid attention to the result, as long as the result was good, as long as the civil strife did not start, as long as Zhang Ping and the Northern Hebei Army were cleaned up, he asked: "When will Su Rong return to Beijing?" ”

"She said to go to Hebei Beicheng, deal with some things, and then go to the border to take a look, if nothing serious, she will return to Beijing in a few days." The old protector said: "It depends on how many soldiers and horses Dawei prepares this time, if there are not enough soldiers and horses, there will be no big incident." ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded, "It's hard work for the old man." ”

The old man "snorted", and still said the same sentence, "The old minister is not hard, the old minister has not done anything this time, just walking his legs and practicing soldiers." He looked at the emperor and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu are not good, the body is soft, and the legs and feet have not been practiced at home, except for the neat formation, there are not many advantages, fortunately I didn't fight with Zhang Ping, if it starts, I will suffer a big loss." ”

Yan Echo took the opportunity to take out the talisman and handed it to the emperor, "Father, this is the Jinglu talisman returned by the old prince." ”

The emperor didn't stretch out his hand to take it, once the person wanted to open it, he waved his hand, "You take it, from now on, you will be in charge of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu." Lao Guogong is right, these 100,000 soldiers and horses are in my hands, and they are almost useless. ”

Yan Echo didn't shirk either, "Father, rest assured." ”

The three of them sat around Zhou Gu, Su Rong, Ning Chi, Zhang Mao, Zhang Yun and others and chatted for a while. When discussing the disposition of the rest of the Zhang family, Yan Echo said that he would wait for Su Rong to return to Beijing to ask her, and the emperor also agreed, and discussed the question of who to let Jibei City take, Yan Echo proposed to let Su Xing take over Jibei City, and took the opportunity to say that Su Rong borrowed 300,000 soldiers and horses, the emperor felt reluctant when he heard about it at first, Yan Echo lightly reminded him that the treasury could not afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, he immediately choked, and after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that lending to Su Rong was now the best arrangement.

He struggled for a moment and instructed Yan Echo, "Let Su Rong write an IOU when the time comes." ”

300,000 soldiers and horses, what a big deal, he is really afraid that Su Rong will not pay back the loan, and there will be no return.

Yan Echo nodded, "Father don't worry." ”

Business is a business matter, private affairs are a private matter, he will not mix it up, she believes in Su Rong, and she should be happy to write an IOU. After all, 300,000 soldiers and horses can't be borrowed just by saying it, even if he agrees simply, there are still courtiers' mouths, which have to be blocked.
