The day is warm and windy, and it is a rare winter morning.

There are already a lot of stalls on both sides of the city gate tower to sell breakfast, all kinds of breakfast are bubbling with a hot aroma, a faint golden morning light sprinkled on the wall of Wangjing City, a prosperous scene.

"The meat bun that just came out of the pot ~ Sanwen one."

"Noodle soup, wonton, what do you want to eat?"

A few businessmen who had just entered Beijing from outside the city sat down.

"Boss, three bowls of noodle soup, with cakes and spicy seeds?"

One of them said.

"The guest officer is from Xizhou, there is ~ come right away!"

...

Soon, the boss brought noodle soup, cakes and chili peppers, and while they were eating, they heard the next table and said, "Have you heard?" We fought a war with the border country Tianchi this time, but we won the battle! ”

"Really?"

One of the Xizhou people, still chewing a cake in his mouth, asked.

"We haven't won a battle for at least three years, right?!"

As soon as the next table heard this accent, he knew that it was from out of town, and it was normal for him to be ill-informed.

"It's not that I haven't won battles at all, it's just that since the death of the veteran general, I have lost more and won less."

"Speaking of this big victory over Tianchi Kingdom, it was also fought by the sons of the veteran generals!"

No one in the whole Kyushu knows that the veteran general Yuan Jing is a generation of war gods, he helped the previous emperor, unified Kyushu, and at the same time won the title of founding general and Marquis Wu'an.

Even if a few Xizhou people are outdated, they still know Yuan Jing, the founding general!

I just didn't know that his sons were so brave and good at fighting...!

"We've heard that this time it's the four young generals of the Yuan family who have made a big name on the border, which makes the people of Tianchi country frightened!"

Now, several Xizhou people also believed it, and echoed it again and again:

"That's the blood of the veteran general, it must be extraordinary!"

...

As a few people were talking, they heard a rapid but neat sound of horses' hooves outside the city gate tower in the distance, breaking the original quiet morning.

Four unusually tall horses galloped towards them.

The first thing that catches your eye is a black steed, only four of which have white hooves.

"It's dark clouds stepping on snow! What a horse, the bloodline is pure, and the endurance speed is also first-class. ”

A businessman from Xizhou, who has seen a lot of knowledge from south to north, said in an unusually excited voice.

Immediately, the young man's eyebrows were flying, his face was bright, his clear posture was outstanding, and he also had a noble and solemn engravement engraved by the bloody battles on the battlefield.

The roads in the city are not as wide as those in the suburbs, and there are pedestrians and vendors, only to hear the dark clouds and snow at the head, and after a neighing horse, four horses lined up, followed by three horsemen, three fifteen-year-old boys......

Four horses, four young men, each dressed in iron leaf armor, shining, crimson cloaks fluttering high behind them, it can be seen that they have come all the way in a hurry, covered with traces of wind and dust, but it is difficult to hide their momentum.

The pedestrians on the street couldn't help but follow them, where did this young man come from, so handsome and heroic, it made people feel good.

Without waiting for the pedestrians to take a closer look, the four of them rode their horses like a whirlwind, and they had already galloped away, disappearing from the end of sight in the blink of an eye.

_____________

After Taijing went down to the court, he returned to the Imperial Palace to deal with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin Anqing asks to see you."

Lin Anqing, as the prime minister of the dynasty, is at the top of the list in terms of civil officials, and his authority is naturally self-evident.

"Xuan."

As soon as he went up, he saw that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and as soon as he went down, he followed, and his steps were fast.

Lin Anqing walked in with a big belly and a gloomy look in his eyes, looking like an old treacherous and cunning, and directly swept past Su Yu, who announced his arrival.

The number of etiquette is quite thoughtful, and he gave a gift to Taijing.

Tang Taijing knew that he had an affair with the Queen Mother, but the time was not right, so he had to endure it for many years...

"The prime minister has something to say to Gu, Su Yu will give him a seat."

Lin Anqing was very satisfied, His Majesty's attitude towards him, nodded and thanked him, then sat down and said:

"In this war with Tianchi, we won a big victory, and the minister came to ask His Majesty how to reward him?"

Among the civil officials in Kyushu, he is already a powerful minister, but among the military attachés, the Yuan family has the most lofty status, and up and down Kyushu, if you want to talk about prestige, the Yuan family is also a few heights higher than his Lin family.

In addition, the only daughter of the Yuan family also became His Majesty's concubine.

Lin Anqing decided in his heart that in the biennial general election after the beginning of the new year, he would send her daughter to the palace.

...

Since Taijing succeeded to the throne, this is a rare big victory!

Moreover, this time it was not a victory over some small neighboring countries, but a border power, Tianchi State......

He can reward him however he wants.

These boys of the Yuan family have been playmates since childhood, and they are of the same age, so they get along like brothers.

When his father and General Yuan were still alive, they often practiced martial arts together... Go in and out of the barracks, watch the soldiers drill, and so on.

As soon as Taijing thought of this, he remembered that Yuan Fu was still in the cold palace... If her younger brothers knew about it, it wouldn't have been repaid.

"Your Majesty...?"

Su Yu looked at the distracted Taijing from the side, and called softly twice.

"Does the Prime Minister have any ideas?"

Tang Taijing was not very happy in his heart, but he still asked politely: He wanted to hear what the old fox had planned.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the three armies must be rewarded, and the dead soldiers must also give their families funeral expenses..."

Lin Anqing said half loudly, and Taijing sounded extremely right.

“... But... The Yuan family..."

Lin Anqing paused, and after listening to it for a long time, he knew that this time he was only to the point.

gave him a look and asked Lin Anqing to continue:

"The old minister thought that the eldest of the four children of the Yuan family who went on this expedition was only nineteen years old, but he was already a general of Yunlu from the third grade,... The others are only fifteen years old and are also loyal generals, and they are on the fourth grade. ”

"I think that too fast promotion will make them young and impetuous."

If Taijing didn't know about the sons and daughters of the Yuan family, he might feel that what Lin Anqing said had a certain amount of truth.

Lin Anqing may also feel that this is not enough to convince His Majesty, so he continued:

"In addition, they are the sons of Wu Anhou, and the rapid promotion may make the people below unconvinced. It's better for Your Majesty to give them a marriage, Wu'anhou is no more, and Your Majesty also has to consider the succession of the Yuan family. ”

Succession....?

Taijing's charming fawn eyes and dark pupils sounded like the Queen Mother...

Outside the gate of the palace, the four of them jumped down from their horses, and the guards immediately recognized that they were the four young generals of the Yuan family, and immediately took their horses.

Wouldn't it take ten days for the army to arrive at Wangjing Castle? Could it be that something big has happened?

"Big brother, let's enter the palace with you."

The three younger brothers said in unison.

"My sister has been sent to the cold palace, if Your Majesty doesn't release her, we can rescue my sister if there are many of us!"

Yuan Jian looked at the three younger brothers, with a determined expression, and it was difficult to say anything.

In the hall, Taijing said with a deep smile: "The Queen Mother has been doing well recently, but I haven't been to see the Queen Mother for a long time." ”

He did not know who he was saying this, but to whom he was listening.

"Lin Anqing go back first, the army will not arrive in ten days, Rong Gu will think about this matter for the time being."

Without waiting for Lin Anqing to answer, Taijing had already gotten up and walked out.

"Su Yu, tell the queen that I will accompany Gu to the queen mother for lunch today."

___________

In the cold palace, the Queen Mother's face was gloomy and distorted to the extreme.

Wu Xueying slapped Su Lan in front of everyone, which was a great provocation to the Queen Mother.

Even now, Wu Xueying and Yuyan Yuxia have been taught by them for a long time... I also fanned it several times and already got it back, but I didn't mean to give up.

But the queen is worried that if she continues to fight like this, if Her Majesty finds out, she will be blamed...

"The Queen Mother..."

As soon as the queen spoke, she was about to dissuade...

"The Queen Mother... Your Majesty will send a message to you for lunch in a while, and the Queen Mother will go with her. ”

Shuangxi ran to Yikun Palace and Kunning Palace, only to learn the news that they had come to Lenggong.
