Another high-ranking military attache who is about to take up his post in Chang'an, named Zeng Qingxi, is said to have been the commander of the Jinwu guard, and is expected to become the new commander of the Chang'an avant-garde.

In other words, he and General Thursday, who is currently in charge of Chang'an's avant-garde, have exchanged positions.

However, on Thursday, the general was transferred to the command of the third rank of the Shangzhi pro-army in the capital with the position of commander of the local commander of the second rank of the capital, and he was secretly promoted, and from then on he would become an important minister of the forbidden army in front of the emperor.

Zeng Qingxi, on the other hand, was the commander of the Zhengsanpinwei from the Shangzhi pro-army, and the Zhengsanpinwei commander of the "leveling" local guard was no different from demotion. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is definitely not a reciprocal job exchange.

Zeng Qingxi did not make a mistake, and he was once quite reused. He will accept this appointment, naturally with his own considerations.

Haijiao told Haitang: "Although Zeng Qingxi's surname is Zeng and he has a close relationship with the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, he is actually not the flesh and blood of the Zeng family, but the righteous son." He was an orphan adopted by the Marquis of Yingchuan in his early generation, and when he was young, he was raised as the guard of the current Marquis of Yingchuan. 'Zeng' is a given surname. His wife is the dowry girl of Mrs. Yingchuan Hou, who grew up in one place since she was a child, but she was just named a righteous sister when she got married. ”

The Haijiao Association knew the news of Zeng Qingxi because this person had been transferred to the Northwest Frontier Army to fight for two years in his previous life, and his performance in defending the border against the enemy was also remarkable, and he belonged to a general who was quite capable of fighting in the DPRK and China and could be recognized by the Northwest Frontier Army. He also didn't like Sun Yonglu's actions, and later someone went to the book to Samsun Yonglu, and he didn't mix it up.

The Marquis of Yingchuan in the previous life was fooled by the Sun family, who regarded them as close allies and dealt with the Zhou family together. If it weren't for Zeng Qingxi to stir up a stir and let the two families have a gap, maybe the Marquis of Yingchuan would be taken all the way to the ditch by Sun Gelao. Although the new monarch came to the throne later, the Marquis of Yingchuan was no longer the most important general, but the Zeng family did not fall miserably, and he was able to draw a clear line with the Sun family, which has some credit from Zeng Qingxi.

Haijiao still remembers that the Marquis of Yingchuan died tragically in Ganzhou in his last life, and the Marquis of Yingchuan could only let the concubine inherit the title, and there were many objections. At that time, it was Zeng Qingxi who supported Zeng Shuming, the marquis of Yingchuan. And this Zeng Shuming, who was later introduced to Xinjun by Zeng Qingxi, became one of the generals of the forbidden army, and supported the family business of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion.

After listening to Haijiao's words, Haitang finally sorted out the background of "Zeng Qingxi". He was not a member of the Sun family, and now that the great-grandson family has made a feud, it is even more impossible for him to be used by the Sun family, which is also good news.

Whether it is Emperor Deguang or the Marquis of Yingchuan, it seems that they have deliberately selected candidates who have a bad relationship with the Sun family. Does this imply that they currently have good intentions towards the Zhou family, and the Sun family is becoming less and less trusted by the emperor in Beijing?

Haitang retracted his thoughts and asked Haijiao in a low voice: "This Zeng Qingxi was sent by the Marquis of Yingchuan to investigate the matter of the Zhou family's three rooms, right?" But just an investigation, can you directly transfer people to the post? He's nominally a flat tone, but it's actually a demotion, right? Zeng Qingxi has no complaints? ”

Hai Jiao thought for a while: "He himself was raised by the Zeng family, and he was able to serve as a third-rank high-ranking official in the forbidden army, thanks to the promotion of the Marquis of Yingchuan." Although he is the emperor's courtier, he also regards himself as a retainer of the Zeng family, how can he complain? Anyway, when he finishes what needs to be done, he will still go back to the capital. With the support of Yingchuan Hou, he is still afraid that he will not be promoted? ”

On the contrary, it was the position of the commander of the avant-garde in Chang'an, which helped him to act flexibly. When necessary, even if he is transferred to the command of Minzhou Guard, it will not be difficult.

Haitang knew in his heart: "What does my brother mean is that he may be unfavorable to Zhou Shicheng, who was born to Mrs. Ma?" ”

"Who knows?" Haijiao sighed, "Old Madam Ma helped Zhou Shuyi assassinate the prince of Yingchuan Hou, although it didn't work out, but how can Yingchuan Hou and his wife not be afraid?" Zhou Shuyi can retaliate, but Zhou Shuyi's husband and children are all flesh and blood of the Zeng family, can they still be ruthless? In this way, the only candidate who can make Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi feel sad at the same time is Zhou Shicheng, right? Although his uncle and grandfather always felt that his brother was innocent and innocent, and he was not the same as his biological mother and sister, he was not less fooled by Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter, how could he do what he said accurately? Anyway, the Marquis of Yingchuan wants to take revenge on Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi at the same time, and it is easiest to attack the people they care about. If the Zhou family wanted to protect their own sons and nephews, they might not be killed, but Zhou Shicheng would definitely suffer a little guilt. ”

Zeng Qingxi personally came to the northwest to do it, which also meant to avoid entanglement with the Zhou family. Unless Zhou Shicheng is cautious and never makes mistakes, Zeng Qingxi will always find an opportunity to retaliate while staying in the Northwest Frontier Army. You can't kill people, can't you let the bitter lord breathe?

I'm afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion will know afterwards that the Zeng family is deliberate, and it will also focus on the overall situation, turning a blind eye to the matter and closing an eye.

Haitang breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, what happened to Zhou Shicheng has nothing to do with us." As long as my aunt's room can be safe, it's fine. Yijun used to be worried, and Wen Jun comforted her like this. ”

Haijiao said: "If Cousin Yijun heard the news from Miss Wenjun, it is best not to tell her grandfather and grandmother too much. If you can let your aunt and grandfather survive the revenge of the Zeng family in ignorance, it is ideal. Otherwise, if my aunt and grandfather are worried about their brother and want to intervene to save people, wouldn't they be against the Zeng family again? What can he do? In the end, it will only make the Zhenguo Mansion come forward. How did this make Zhenguo Gong and his son answer? Should or shouldn't be troublesome. ”

Haitang nodded understandingly: "I'll go back to the house and write a letter to Yijun." She was left by Sister Wenjun to live in the Zhenguo Mansion today, and she won't go home for the time being, so she shouldn't have had time to send the news back home. ”

Haijiao smiled: "Okay, then you can go." Today, the hard little sister has heard the news. I have a good idea of what I'm going to do next, and I'm much more at ease. ”

Haitang said: "Anyway, if there is something inconvenient to discuss with the elders, my brother will come to me." In the evening, I will also tell my grandfather and cousin about Tu Rong and Zeng Qingxi. The next time Sister Wenjun gives me another post, I'll find a way to find out more news. ”

She stood up: "Brother, don't just care about what you want to do. The day of your entry into the health school is just around the corner, and you can't delay your homework. Otherwise, what if your grandfather and cousin get angry and don't allow you to go out at will? Besides, Jin Jiashu's side is almost completely arranged, right? When will he come to our house? When he comes, you will always be by his side. ”

Speaking of this, Hai Jiao was a little depressed: "I don't know how my cousin discussed it with the Zhenguo Mansion. They went to Jin Jiashu to arrange it themselves, but they didn't call me at all. I wanted to be a stand-in for Jin Jiashu, but they thought I was too tall and too strong, and found another person of the same age and body shape as Jin Jiashu but with strong martial arts, but they didn't tell me who it was.

They were afraid that there would be too many old and weak women and children in the three-room village, that the Sun family spies would hurt people, and that the surrounding area of the village would be accessible in all directions, so they didn't want to set traps there. The old military division found a remote and uninhabited Zhuangzi in the suburbs outside the city, cleared the field and set up a secret sentry, planning to send Jin Jiashu over first, show his face in front of people, and release the news to let people know that he had moved into a new house. If the spies of the Sun family are not sure that the main owner lives in the Zhuangzi, they are afraid that they will not be so easily deceived, so they take the initiative to drill into the trap. ”

It sounds like a complicated plan.

Haitang was a little curious: "How do they plan to reveal the news to the spies of the Sun family?" Is it to use those two nurturing grandmothers? ”

Haijiao smiled: "There is no other way but them." I heard that recently, they are going to explore the former strongholds of the Sun family one by one. If you want them to know the news of Jin Jiashu without arousing their suspicion, Uncle Cousin has put a lot of thought into it. ”
