267 "Coming Home Soon"
"This time, the lady of your mansion has made miraculous achievements, and the saint is very happy when he hears it...... However, there are many strange voices in the court and the central government regarding the granting of seals, and many adults think that women are not in harmony with the system, and they cannot dispute over this......
At this point, the eunuch waved his hand upwards and continued: "However, the sage cherishes his talents, and believes that although Chang Niangzi is a daughter, she has the appearance of a star...... The saint did his best to overcome public opinion for this, and by the word of Providence, he came up with this precedent-breaking edict."
Chang Kuo looked grateful and frightened when he heard this, and raised his hand: "In this way, Chang Kuo wants to thank the saint for his love and attention on behalf of the little girl."
But what did Qiao Yang's letter say that this matter of conferring the title of military general was the result of an elderly Mrs. Chu fighting the early dynasty with a mouth?
It doesn't matter, he just knows it.
Chang Kuo's face maintained a look of gratitude.
The eunuch smiled and went to hold his hand.
Immediately, he looked at Xiao Min on the side, and said with a smile: "The sage heard that now that there are two generals in the army, they are already united, and they must be able to repel the Xu clan's chaotic army soon......
Xiao Min: "Xiao is still young, and he will have to rely on General Chang and General Ning Yuan a lot in the future."
The eunuch nodded with a smile, very good, not competitive, knows how to show weakness and disguise, and is a calm and smart person.
He was also happy to "cooperate" with Xiao Min's modest words to hold Chang Kuo high: "The saint has always had high hopes for General Chang...... General Chang is already a first-class hussar general of our dynasty, if he can repel Xu Zhengye this time, when he returns to the dynasty in victory, it will definitely be the day of meritorious service."
The expressions of the people around moved slightly.
Feudal marquis?
Although this eunuch said these words from his own standpoint, he dared to say it in public, which must have been the meaning of the saint...... The saint is promising General Chang in advance?
And this time, the Qin mission came to ...... They thought that they might wait for Yi Shuai's will, after all, after Li Yi's incident, anyone could see that General Chang was the most suitable candidate to be the commander, but now, there was no movement from Yi Shuai.
Therefore, the sage still had no intention of letting General Chang Da be the commander in charge and take charge of the military power of the army......
Is this due to the fact that frequent changes of commanders are not conducive to the morale of the military, or is it some kind of vigilance?
The promise of the marquis, in addition to the encouragement, probably also has a reassuring heart......
Is this the king's way of subordination?
The generals had their own guesses in their hearts.
Chang Kuo didn't realize it, but laughed and said, "Then Chang Mou dared to borrow his father-in-law's auspicious words, hoping for the coming day!"
The end is a look of being very excited about this big cake.
Which military general doesn't want to build immortal achievements, seal the princes of thousands of miles, and leave his name in history for future generations?
Chang Kuo was very enthusiastic about this, and the fact that his daughter was named a general obviously made his face very bright, so he was specially presented with a red seal: "...... Your father-in-law came from afar at the end of the year, it is really hard work, this is a little care, you must not refuse!"
The eunuch of the Qin Cha made a gesture and excused himself twice, then accepted it with a smile, and congratulated Chang Kuo again and again, exclaiming: "...... General Chang has such a daughter, which is really enviable!"
Chang Kuo really likes to listen to this kind of talk about the fire in the ancestral tomb, and he doesn't think that this eunuch talks too much, and the smile on his face becomes more and more real.
At the end, the eunuch looked at Chang Suining and said with a smile, "The sage also has a word, asking our family to convey it to Chang Niangzi."
He looked at the girl who was wearing a green robe and made a quiet posture, but she was not half flattered, or frightened and nervous, and said with a smile: "The sage wishes that General Ning Yuan will calm down the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, and the sage will wait in Beijing for the sound of Chang Niangzi returning home safely......
Chang Sui Ning has no fluctuations on his face, only lowering his eyelids.
Home?
Is this word "home" a gesture of goodwill? Or is it telling her that she has confirmed that it is her?
Want to wait for her to return to Beijing and then continue the "family" front?
The words are really good, and they still try to claim to be their family, but in fact, they don't even dare to try to hand over the military power - because the other party knows very well that if Lao Chang is the commander, this military power will be convenient
It was also handed over to her.
Chang Suining is not satisfied with this, let alone disappointed, the other party is an emperor, and before he sees her true and controllable "loyalty", he is suspicious and cautious, and it is understandable.
Everyone has a choice, and the other party chooses to be an emperor, and she can understand the many measures she has taken for this.
But she repeatedly used family affection as bait to ask her to show credible loyalty, which she really found difficult to agree with.
Besides, since everyone has a choice, she should be able to have her own choice now that she is a human being, right?
They are both free, neither of them has a position to kidnap each other to do anything, she has never tried to ask each other to be a so-called "mother" in the worldly sense, and in the same way, after paying off each other's kindness, the shackles of "daughter" must no longer be trapped in her.
The two do not owe each other, and they do not have to influence each other, what happens in the future, each according to his ability.
Chang Sui Ning raised his hand and said, "Thank you for the sage's attention."
The eunuch smiled and nodded to her.
Then, he asked about Chang Suian's injury.
Concerned, he asked, "I don't know where Chang Langjun is recuperating from his injuries now?" Before leaving, the sage mentioned Chang Langjun many times, and he was really concerned, so he specially ordered us to bring medicinal materials and supplements to visit on my behalf......
"Brother is now recuperating in a miracle doctor's place, and everything is fine." Chang Sui Ning said: "It's just that the residence of the divine doctor is hundreds of miles away from here, and there are traces of the rebel army along the way, and all of you fathers-in-law are noble people with holy orders, and it is easy to be secretly targeted by the rebel army, so it is really not appropriate to venture there."
"This ......," the eunuch looked thoughtful and hesitant.
He could hear that the little lady's words conveyed two meanings, one was that they were worried that they would fall into the hands of the rebels, and the other was that they did not want to expose Chang Sui'an's place of recuperation because of them.
That's what it means to not want them to bother.
Chang Kuo also followed suit: "The sage's heart, Chang Mou's heart has understood. However, the situation is special now, and the only way to return to Beijing is to bring the dog into the palace to thank the Holy Grace."
At this point, if he insisted on seeing him, his intention was unclear, and the eunuch only said, "In this case, then our family will not disturb Chang Langjun to recuperate."
After a few more pleasantries, Xiao Min said in a timely manner: "Your father-in-law must be tired all the way to the dust, and the place to stay is already ready, why don't you go and rest first, and then talk about the wine at the evening banquet."
Reminiscing about the old days is naturally just a polite rhetoric, in Xiao Min's opinion, you come and go, all of them are heart-eyed, and I feel tired when I listen to it - I feel tired for General Chang and the lady of the Chang family.
After thanking the eunuchs, they left the place first.
Looking at those disappearing backs, Chang Suining and Chang Kuo exchanged glances almost imperceptibly.
The empress ordered someone to visit Chang Sui'an, in addition to doing a good job of being a benevolent monarch, most of them had other intentions.
Who knows if after seeing it, will he "persuade" Chang Sui An to return to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries on the grounds that "the situation in the land south of the Yangtze River is dangerous"?
In order to prevent such a possibility, of course, it is better not to see it.
And people are in the mansion of the eldest princess of Xuan'an, and they can't see each other.
As soon as the eunuchs left, Yuan Xiang and Vice General Jin all rushed up.
"Congratulations girl!"
"What girl, it's time to change your voice and call the general!"
"Yes, I should call General Xiao Chang!"
「……」
The fact that Chang Sui Ning was given the title of General Ning Yuan soon spread throughout the entire military camp and caused a sensation everywhere.
Adhering to the good intentions of good things in pairs, Xiao Min and Chang Kuo simply summed up, feeling that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so they simply struck while the iron was hot, and the order to appoint Chang Suining as the head of the march was also issued.
Chang Suining's competition with Fang Dajiao's head is still being hotly discussed, and now that they hear about it, the soldiers are no longer surprised, and there is no voice of questioning, at least not on the surface.
On this day, Chang Suining's surroundings were very lively, and they were full of congratulatory voices.
She also has the consciousness of a new official taking office, and it is the first day of the new year, so she is very generous, and gives Xi'er Azhi Ache, and Ah Dianyuanxiang, and Chang Blade them, and they all give New Year's money.
But halfway through the distribution, a soldier came in to deliver charcoal, so he also gave a copy.
At that time, Chang Sui Ning did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
After the soldier left, there was no stopping people in her tent, at first two or three asking for an excuse, and then in droves to congratulate her.
Poor General Ning Yuan and Chief Instructor Chang Sui Ning was away from home, and the money he had with him was limited...... As a result, the panache gradually changed from broad to shabby, and the broken silver was changed to copper plates.
The soldiers who got the copper plate are still very happy.
Vice Admiral Jin turned his head and strung the copper plate, hung it around his neck, and hid it under his armor.
Seeing this, the head of the Fang Da Sect, who was in the natal year, felt that it was not bad to use it to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, so he did the same.
The soldiers followed suit.
As a result, the atmosphere of "wearing a bright copper plate, getting the breath of the stars, making extraordinary contributions, and walking the road of Yaozu" became out of control.
Those who didn't get the copper plate were going to be red with jealousy, and even worse, they asked their comrades euphemistically—since the eldest brother is so precious about this thing, where do you plan to put it when you go to bed at night?
Those who heard it immediately tightened their robes.
……
In the evening, a feast was set up in the camp to entertain the eunuchs.
After the banquet was dispersed, Xiao Min congratulated Chang Suining again and again.
Looking at Coach Xiao with a sincere face, listening to the repeated words of congratulations, Chang Sui Ning felt the key: "......"
She said tactfully and squeehemily that she really didn't have any of them.
That night, Xiao Min had two large boxes of copper plates carried and sent them into her tent on the spot.
Coach Shaw said he could bring his own.
Chang Niangzi is only responsible for opening the light!
Xiao Min made this move, but also for the sake of the people below, there was no way, his personal soldiers found him today and told him that things were not tight originally, and they were not caring people, but seeing that other soldiers had them, their necks were empty, and their hearts were not good, and the brothers felt that they couldn't raise their heads!
For the sake of his own soldiers, Coach Xiao had to pay out of his own pocket.
The next day, the two large boxes of copper plates that "opened the light" arrived, and Xiao Min secretly hid some before dividing them.
He plans to bring one for himself, and the rest will be brought back to Beijing in the next day and arranged for his family!
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, who can refuse the words "auspicious"?
If a person doesn't even want to be auspicious, then what momentum does he have to live?
All in all, the willingness to believe in metaphysics is also a positive state of mind.
Coach Xiao, who was holding a purse full of copper plates, was very relieved.
Until the chief eunuch came to him.
Xiao Min hurriedly hid his purse, stood upright, and bowed his hand to the comer.
The eunuch looked at him with a smile and motioned to the eunuch behind him to wait outside the tent.
Xiao Min understood, and also let his own people go outside to guard.
"General Xiao really did not live up to the high expectations of the saint, and in just a few days, he has gained a firm foothold in the army." The eunuch was full of approval.
"My father-in-law praised it." Xiao Min raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and said, "This is not Xiao's work, it is all because of General Chang's intentions."
Chang Kuo gave him enough decency and respect, and the people below never despised him.
The look of approval on the face of the eunuch of Qincha became even stronger: "General Xiao of our family is very proficient in getting along with people, so very good...... The saint also hopes to see General Xiao befriend General Chang Da, and work together to better resist the enemy."
After a slight pause, he sighed, "It's just ...... Or I have to wronged General Xiao for a thing or two."
As the head coach, he has to be pressed by the deputy commander everywhere, and he is inevitably dissatisfied, which is predictable.
"......" Xiao Min was silent for a moment.
Therefore, does the other party regard his posture in front of General Chang as a forced smile, gritted teeth and flattery, and endures humiliation?
Is there a possibility...... He's not acting at all?
Seeing that he was silent, the eunuch only acquiesced to him, and gave him some comfort and persuasion.
Finally, he whispered to him to pay more attention to the movements of Chang Kuo's father and daughter, and if necessary, report to the saint in time.
Xiao Min: "...... Xiao understood."
This is the point of the eunuch's visit to him today.
The saint was suspicious of General Chang and made him pretend to be friendly so that he could keep a close surveillance.
This is not a simple matter for him, especially the proposal of "fake friendship", which is very difficult for strong people.
After all the arrangements were made, the eunuchs did not stay long, and three days later, they left for Beijing.
And in the past three days, the barracks have become tired of becoming dogs, and Yuan Xiang dares to say second, but no one dares to call him first.
is because he followed Chang Suining during the day to do things, and at night he lit lamps and boiled oil, and secretly wrote letters to his own governor.
Why is it three nights to write?
Isn't it because there are so many things to write about?
Especially Chinese New Year's Eve the scene when the girl of the regular family was talking to others, he spent two nights writing, and the pen was broken...... I can't finish writing at all!
When he wrote on the third night, Yuanxiang, who wanted to write everything, realized that he couldn't indulge like this anymore, otherwise, he was afraid that this letter would not be able to be delivered in the first month......
In order to ensure that the Metropolitan Governor could see the letter in time, Yuan Xiang repeatedly compressed the outline and stuffed the twenty pages of letter paper into the two envelopes that were about to be broken.
In the end, don't forget to bring the copper plate that has "opened the light" with people - if others have it, most of his governors will also have it!
……
And Yuanxiang just asked people to send the letter out, and Chang Suining also received several letters, all of which were sent from Beijing.
Chang Suining sat cross-legged behind the sand table, picked up the top one casually and looked at it, and when he saw the handwriting on it, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Hey, here comes the questioner.
