Yan Du thought about it, the emperor summoned several ministers to discuss the candidate for the overseer of Youzhou, there was no problem, but why did he call him. First, he served as a waiter in the Criminal Department, not a waiter in the Ministry of War, and Youzhou was a barrier between Zhenbei and Shengjing, let him give advice, not afraid that he would be selfish?

He was silent for a moment and said: "Erchen doesn't know this Cheng general, and he really doesn't know if he is suitable, so he doesn't dare to say anything, but I heard that this Cheng general has been promoted by the Shangguan Governor, and I think he knows a little bit about this Cheng general." ”

When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed, and he turned to ask Shangguan Xu beside him, "Lao Qi reminded me like this, I really remembered that when Cheng An was still the deputy commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he was cut down due to ineffective work, and later you recommended him to me to go to Youzhou, saying that this person is a general, and it would be a pity not to use it." ”

Shangguan Xu bent down, his eyes sank, and said: "Actually, the minister thinks that although this Cheng'an has generals, there is still little training, and Youzhou is an important military town, so you need to find a more experienced general." ”

The emperor nodded, "Since the Shangguan Governor said so, think about it again, but there are other suitable candidates." ”

Coming out of the upper study, Yan Du and Shangguan Xu walked out of the palace together.

"The matter between the emperor and Mrs. Hou was revealed by you through the mouth of Xichang." Shangguan Xu said.

Yan Du smiled, "What the Shangguan Overseer said, His Highness can't understand it." ”

Shangguan Xu smiled, "Bite me back?" “

"Does it hurt?"

"Why doesn't it hurt, Youzhou slipped out of your hand."

The emperor had less trust in him because of this, and a little trust made the emperor feel that it was risky for Cheng An to be the overseer of Youzhou, so before that, he had an idea that he would never use Cheng An. I asked Yan Du to ask Shangguan Xu just now, but if they are less smart, one recommends someone else, and the other recommends Cheng An, it will anger the emperor.

But both of them are smart people, one is in trouble, and the other has a self-cutting tail.

And Shangguan Xu did suffer a big loss, Mrs. Hou did not please her, and she lost control of Youzhou.

"Old Seven, you used to hate that man, why do you seem to want to reach out now?" Shangguan Xu stopped and turned to look at Yan Dui.

Yan Du raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Whether I want that person or not, it's all in my mood, it's not whether I have the ability to do it or not." ”

"What a crazy tone!"

"But if you want it, I won't let you get it."

Shangguan Xu's face sank, "Aren't you amnesia, why do you still hate me so much?" ”

"Heh, it's not hatred, but knowing that when Qin Fei sat on that side, the first thing to get rid of was me." Speaking of this, Yan Du sighed, "So how can I let you get your way." ”

The emperor did not go to court for ten days, and after going to court, sure enough, there was a speech official who held on to him and Mrs. Hou's affairs, and he dismissed a speech official in court, and the others did not dare to speak.

After that, he ordered the left general Xiao Meng to be the overseer of Youzhou, and went to Youzhou to take office on the same day.

When Yan Du came out of the yamen in the afternoon, he saw a woman selling silk handkerchiefs walking through the streets and alleys, he hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to stop the woman.

"My lord, the patterns on my silk handkerchief are embroidered by myself, each piece is different, you look at this piece of rich peony, lifelike, and this mandarin duck playing in the water, this pair of mandarin ducks has a lot of aura, and this begonia, begonia is an acacia flower, can be given to the sweetheart. My lord, who are you going to give it to? ”

The woman was so enthusiastic that she spoke a lot.

Yan Dui saw Da Hei and them come out, looked here a few times, and then left with a smile. He coughed and said, "Send me a lady." ”

"Ouch, then this mandarin duck is good to play in the water."

"Let's still have this begonia."

"Whether it's good or not, after a man marries a woman home, he thinks she's virtuous and capable, but he doesn't put it in his heart. Look at the lord like this, he must be reassuring the lady on the point. ”

The woman didn't finish talking, Yan Du hurriedly stuffed the silver to her, and took the silk handkerchief of the begonia in her arms.

He was about to go back when Xue Changfeng came running over.

He is worried about his mother, there are strict rules, the door is not out, although his house does not have so many rules, but it is not good to come out often, so the two have not seen each other for a long time.

"Your Highness the Seventh, come with me."

Yan Du raised her eyebrows, "Where are you going?" ”

"Drink."

"No, no."

Xue Changfeng couldn't allow him to refuse, he stepped forward and pulled him by the sleeve and pulled him out, "I'm not someone who gives face." ”

"You don't have to give it to me."

"But whoever is given it must be taken."

Yan Du sighed, Xue Changfeng is a straight person, he has no heart, so he can make friends. He had a problem with him before, but after he found out about his mother's murder, he let go of that problem.

"I'll go, can you stop pulling and pulling?" Yan Du said helplessly.

"Hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to see him off, I won't see anyone when it's late."

"To whom?"

"My brother, you'll know when you go."

Yan Du followed Xue Changfeng, bypassed the street, and turned into an alley, which was full of big doors, he came to a place, ran up and knocked on the door.

Yan Du glanced at the plaque on the door, which read 'Xiao House'.

Before he could ask, the door opened, and it was a gray-haired man.

"Uncle Li, where is Brother Xiao?"

"I'm not at home, I haven't been back for a day."

"And where did he go?"

"It seems that I went to the Jiangnan Mansion."

"It's in ruins, what is he going to do there?"

"I don't know."

Xue Changfeng said goodbye to that Li Bo, and pulled Yan Du to the Jiangnan Mansion again.

Qin Shengrui and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing have dug up the lifting that was buried in the ruins, although there is only one living person, but in the case of such a serious collapse and rainwater backflow, it is really a miracle that there can be a living one.

This news reached the imperial court and reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was very happy, not only rewarded Qin Shengrui, but also asked him Qin Shengan to take over the management of Qiuyi.

And Qin Shengrui seemed to have a brain suddenly, and he went down in an orderly manner, and he was also convinced by him, and he didn't make any more trouble. Tomorrow in the autumn of the entrance, the big test for three days, if everything goes well, the emperor sees Qin Shengrui's ability, and he will definitely reuse him in the future.

In front of the ruins of the Jiangnan Mansion, a tall, dark-faced man was grabbing the back of a weak man's neck and lifting him up with just one hand.

The weak man kept begging for mercy, but the swarthy man kicked him out anyway.

Seeing this, Xue Changfeng hurriedly ran over: "Old Xiao, why are you playing tricks again!" ”

"Lao Tzu has to kill him today!"

"You forgot to hurt people before, and you were downgraded three levels in a row, why didn't you learn a long lesson!"

"You don't care!"

The swarthy man was still going to beat the man who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, Xue Changfeng hurriedly dragged his arm, but he couldn't hold it back, and was dragged forward by the man.

"Old Xue, let go of me!"

"No, I won't let it go!"

"Let go!"

"I don't!"

Seeing the two of them lingering like this, the corners of Yan Dui's mouth couldn't help twitching.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the man lying on the ground hurriedly got up and ran, if he guessed correctly, this man with an angry face should be Xiao Meng.

"Damn, do you know who he is, you're going to let him go?" Xiao Meng shouted at Xue Changfeng.

Xue Changfeng saw that the man had run away, so he let go of Xiao Meng, "To make you so angry, who covets your lady's beauty?" ”

"Get out!"

"And who is he?"

Chaumon sighed, "He, a dead man. ”
