Spring goes to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, it is January and time passes in a flash.

On the Anxi side, the Great Snow Dragoons combined with the remnants of the Anxi army continued to regain lost territory.

The Tianshan army, which had been unimpeded all the way, was defeated and retreated by the heavy snow dragoons and the remnants of the regrouped Anxi army.

Not only was he forced to retreat again and again, but he paid tens of thousands of people to escape back to the Tianshan Realm.

However, the cadres did not have the slightest intention of giving up.

After the Great Snow Dragoon and some remnants of the Black Crow Army gathered, they led the Anxi New Army to attack the Tianshan Mountains.

On the other hand, although the puppet DPRK has been preparing to make a move, it does not dare to make any actual moves, and it seems that the opportunity is still brewing.

Mobei sent cavalry several times to test the strength of the border passes.

It's just that, under Xu Jing's hint, the strength of the border passes has long been different, and Mobei has tried several times but still hasn't got the clues they want.

I don't know when and where is the best place to attack.

So much so that the Mobei side and the border pass have always maintained such a tacit understanding that the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and disturbs me.

And the most eye-catching thing these days is the thunderous means of Lin Hai in the Danzhou area.

Lin Hai first arrived in Danzhou only for more than ten days, and then he killed people on a large scale.

Among them, the people killed are not low in official positions, up to Zhizhou and Zhonglang Generals.

Go down to Jiupin County and Yamen to catch fast.

In just a few days, no less than a thousand tired bones were collected by Lin Hai.

This frightened everyone in the Danzhou area and high-ranking officials in danger, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, this Lord Lin Hailin is not here alone!

But with no less than tens of thousands of troops! This army is rumored to be the pro-army of the new emperor of Daqian!

There are such armies on the left and right to protect the safety of Lin Hai.

Even those wang clans have long hated Lin Hai, and they can only sit back and watch Lin Hai eradicate dissidents and gradually gain a foothold in Danzhou.

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."

On the same day, Xu Jing was reading the folds in the East Palace, and Cao Gong walked quickly into the Hall of Words and Politics and stood in Xu Jing's ear and whispered.

"Who?"

Xu Jing looked sideways, slightly curious.

Now in this capital, I have not heard of any important people entering the city.

"It's from Danzhou."

"It seems to be the head of the He family."

Cao Gong lowered his voice to explain to Xu Jing.

"What family?"

Xu Jing heard the name of the He family for the first time, and he didn't know much about this family.

"Back to Your Majesty, this He family is not small."

"His family is the seventh prime minister of Daqian, and each has a good life. After his death, he was given the nickname Wencheng, and his descendants were named viscounts and settled in Danzhou. ”

"Counted, it is the most powerful family in Danzhou."

Gonggong Cao explained to Xu Jing the origin of this family in 1510.

"Interesting, how big is this?"

When Xu Jing heard what Cao Gong said, he also raised his eyebrows, but he felt that this matter was not simple.

Whether it is after the seventh prime minister, or the viscount, these identities are enough to make themselves vigilant.

Not to mention, this ancestor of the He family can still get a Wencheng nickname!

It must be known that this word "Wen" can be called a first-class beauty for civil officials!

As for the addition of this word, the same can be squeezed into the top four ranks, and the Wenchen who can win this honor, not to mention the great cadres, is to look at the upper and lower dynasties, and there are very few.

The head of such a family suddenly entered Beijing to ask for a meeting, and nine times out of ten, what he asked for was not simple.

"What do you think is the matter with you coming this time?"

Xu Jing glanced sideways, glanced at Cao and asked openly.

"This is a matter of government affairs, and the slave is just a eunuch, so he doesn't dare to criticize it."

Cao Gong bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

"It's okay, I can answer you."

Xu Jing smiled lightly and motioned to Gonggong Cao to just speak directly.

"In recent days, Lord Lin has made a lot of moves in the Danzhou area. There are not a few people involved. ”

"Nine times out of ten, this is where the two of them are here, right?"

After thinking for a while, Cao Gong guessed.

"It's not stupid."

"Yes, that's what these two are here for."

Xu Jing nodded and looked at Cao Gong with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, do you see it or not?"

Cao Gong looked at Xu Jing curiously and asked.

"See? See what to see? ”

"When you rush to the capital, nine times out of ten you are involved in a big case."

"If you see it, do I want to give you a few thin noodles for that viscount?"

"If these two plead again after the name of Wen Cheng. If I can still be ruthless, wouldn't I want to make the Manchu civil and military frightened? ”

Xu Jing shook his head slightly, and did not hesitate to refuse to meet.

"So, the old slave will go and send them."

Cao Gong nodded and walked out.

Slow, there's no need to rush. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for Cao Gong to stop.

"Father, do you think Your Majesty will see me and wait?"

Outside the East Palace, the father and son of the He family stood straight.

Now this spring is warmer, but it is still much colder than Danzhou.

The two of them were dressed in single clothes, shivering in the spring breeze.

"Probably, right? Your great-grandfather is a great prime minister, and your father is a viscount, although it is not as good as those founding feats, but it is not bad. ”

"Come to think of it, this new emperor still has to be more or less sympathetic."

He Long, the head of the He family, said with a slight groan.

"But it's been almost an hour, and this new emperor doesn't have the slightest intention of showing his head."

He Zhang, the son of the He family, had a bitter face and whispered a little helplessly.

"Wait, maybe Your Majesty is just busy."

He Long gritted his teeth and persevered.

For these literati, who have been out of the court for many years and are pampered, standing for a long time is hard work.

The past hour has been more difficult for them than it has been for a year.

"Father, why don't you go! From the perspective of His Majesty, nine times out of ten he doesn't want to see me and wait. ”

He Zhang grimaced, lowered his head and gently patted his thighs, which were already a little stiff.

"Shut up! Forget what you and I came here for? ”

"If you can't get Your Majesty's grace, the He family will be finished."

He Long lowered his voice and scolded He Zhang on one side.

was so frightened that He Zhang shut up and stood firm, and he didn't dare to make any extra moves.

"You two, go back."

Three hours passed before Gong Cao walked out.

At this time, the sky was already very dark.

"I wonder if Your Majesty ever knew that I was coming?"

He Long watched Cao Gong walk out, although he said that His Majesty did not want to see him.

But He Long was still smiling and cautious.

"Your Majesty knows, but in recent days, Your Majesty has been sick in bed, and I'm afraid I don't have the strength to see you."

Cao Gong shook his head and said calmly.

"This! How could Your Majesty suddenly get sick? Is there a cure? ”

He Long seemed to be very concerned and asked again and again.

In fact, he was worried that if the new emperor was too ill, he would be too late.

"This is the emperor's business, how dare the miscellaneous family talk nonsense? Please leave early. ”

Cao Gong shook his head, not planning to say anything more.

"Dad, what can I do? Your Majesty is seriously ill now, and I am afraid that he will not have time to pay attention to us. ”

He Zhang rubbed his aching thighs and said helplessly.
