Heluo City, the prime minister's residence.

Wang An's official position is Shangshu's left servant and subordinate servant, and he is the prime minister of the Yan Dynasty. Yu Xinchen is the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu to carry out the order of Zhongshu, that is, the second phase.

People in the world are generally called "Wang Xiang" and "Yu Xiang".

Before the Yuanjia Change, Zhai Lin Wang was very well-connected in the Qi court, but Wang An himself did not enter the ranks.

The army of the Jing Dynasty went south, and the Wang family took the initiative to take refuge, and Wang An became the guest of the powerful of the Jing Dynasty. After the founding of the Yan Dynasty, with the support of Qing Yuding and Qing Yugong's father and son, Wang An became the second minister, and five years later took over as the prime minister and took power, and has been in power for more than six years.

This premier lord of the gate valve was therefore spurned by the world, although no one dared to openly scold in the territory of Beiyan, but Wang An and even Zhai Lin Wang's reputation among the people had already fallen to the bottom.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was originally a manor built by the Wang family in Heluo City, covering an extremely vast area, occupying most of the area of the street.

The houses here are continuous and the courtyard is deep, like a fairyland on earth.

East Garden, Lan Xue Hall.

Wang An, who was dressed in regular clothes, sat by the window, holding a book in his hand, with a little worry between his eyebrows.

Recently, Heluo City and even the entire Yan State officialdom have not been peaceful, and as the prime minister, he naturally can't stay out of it.

The impact of Chen Qifu's death has not yet subsided, and the death of the former deputy privy envoy Chen Jingtang in his own house caused an uproar in an instant.

Needless to say, there was an undercurrent surging in Heluo City, and the armies on Jiangbei Road, Moyang Road, and Dongyang Road in the south had varying degrees of restlessness, although there were no obvious riots, but it was not so easy to calm down these turmoil.

Jing Chao's pace was forced to slow down, Wang An, Yu Xinchen, Pang Shigu and others after discussion, had to ask the Son of Heaven to order the execution of Guo Yijiang, and then degraded the privy deputy envoy Guo Yan, and counted Chen Jingtang's death on the head of the Southern Qi Weaving Division, and issued a reward order of 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 households to Lu Shen, the commander of the Southern Qi border army.

In this way, the situation can be barely stabilized, but Guo Yan's resignation means that Qing Yugong's established strategy has deviated greatly, and it will take some time to continue to adjust.

During these days, Wang An was almost too busy to touch the ground, negotiating with the court and various forces in the army, involving dozens of personnel adjustments and appointments.

"Say hello to Daddy."

A crisp voice interrupted Wang An's thoughts, and he looked up to see two girls of similar size walking into Lan Xuetang together.

The one on the left is his daughter Wang Xueru, who was seventeen years old at the time, and she was slim and good-looking.

The woman on the right was named Wang Chulong, who was nineteen years old at the time, and was the concubine of his brother Wang Cheng.

Wang An's gaze stayed on Wang Chulong's face for a moment, and then smiled at Wang Xueru and said: "You go to the back house to find your mother, she has something to do with you, let Cousin Ling stay here, I have a few words to say to her." ”

"Yes, Daddy."

Wang Xueru saluted obediently, and then retreated with the maid.

Wang Chulong stood quietly, but saw that her eyebrows were like distant mountains without depiction, her lips were sand and not dotted, her demeanor was downright and generous, and her temperament was dyed with poetry and books.

Wang An pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down and say." ”

"Yes, uncle."

Wang Chulonglian's steps moved lightly, and his voice responded softly.

"Are you still used to living in Beijing recently?" Wang An opened the conversation unhurriedly, and then said: "Xueru, this child's temperament is jumpy, blame me and her mother for being too arrogant, if there is any rudeness, you don't have to blame it." ”

Wang Chulong shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle is serious. Sister Xueru is innocent and kind, and has great respect for me, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Wang An smiled indifferently, and then said meaningfully: "Do you know the whereabouts of Wang Jun's child?" ”

Wang Chulong's eyes lowered and he said softly, "I don't know." ”

Zhai Lin Wang's family is flourishing, the clan is thousands, this generation of the sect has four rooms and seven families, Wang Cheng and Wang An are brothers of the same mother, relatively speaking, more close.

In addition to this sect, there are nine rooms and fifteen families in the side sect, among which there is Wang Shao's branch because of the old things more than ten years ago, moved to Xunyang City in the south, and Wang Jun is the son of Wang Shao.

During the frontier war last year, the southeast of Moyang Road was captured by the Qi army, and Xunyang was among them.

Wang An said lightly: "After the fall of Xunyang, Wang Shao took the initiative to return to Southern Qi and persuaded Meng Zhixiang, the defender of Jianghua City, to surrender the city. With this merit, he occupied a place in the newly established Jiangbei Assassin Mansion of Southern Qi, and later sent Wang Jun to the Southern Qi border army. Now Wang Jun is serving as a clerk in the Huaizhou Ruishi Battalion, assisting the young lieutenant named Lu Shen. ”

Wang Chulong was secretly lurking in his heart, and at the same time vaguely guessed the reason why the other party summoned him to meet.

Wang An continued: "I know that you and Wang Jun are close to each other, and there was a frequent exchange of letters before last year. ”

Wang Chulong hesitated slightly, and then said frankly: "Uncle, although Brother Jun is close to me, he has a very good idea since he was a child, and he will not shake his mind because of the persuasion of outsiders. ”

She thought that Wang An was planning to use her friendship with Wang Jun to secretly plan some big things, so she set up an ambush in advance.

"You have always been very smart, no wonder my brother values you so much, and does not treat you partially because of your status, but allows you to access many secrets of our Wang family."

Wang An showed a slight look of approval, and then said gently: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to instigate Wang Jun to be half-hearted, but I hope you can continue to maintain a close relationship with him." I will ask the clan steward to help you establish an information channel, so that you can continue to communicate with Wang Jun in the future, and you don't have to talk about the affairs between Yan and Qi in the letters. ”

Wang Chulong was stunned.

Don't talk about family and country affairs, only talk about sister and brother affection?

How could this patriarch have the leisure to consider such a trivial issue?

Her heart suddenly moved, and she said softly: "Uncle's meaning, my niece understands." ”

Wang An said with satisfaction: "This is the best." Although Wang Jun's father took them to Xunyang, and now they belong to the rule of Southern Qi, they are all inherited by the Wang family, and no matter how they are connected, they will continue to be connected by blood. If Wang Jun has difficulties in the future, your cousin can also help, and the kinship you formed when you were young will not be in vain. ”

"Yes."

Wang Chulong's heart became more and more transparent, and he got up and said, "If my uncle has no other instructions, my niece will retire." ”

"Okay."

Wang An bowed slightly, and said: "By the way, Lu Shen, the captain of the Ruishi battalion, is an upstart in the border army of Southern Qi, you have to advise Wang Jun to be a good student to assist, don't be perfunctory." Chu Long, this matter should not be known to outsiders, and it should not be publicized to the outside world except your father. ”

Wang Chulong responded gently.

This is probably a way to bet on both sides and wait for the situation to change, and the deep intention of letting her keep in touch with Wang Jun is nothing more than to retain a channel of communication with Nanqi.

The woman was slightly curious in her heart, although she knew a lot of stories that had happened in the south in the past year, she had never thought that the border army of Southern Qi could be so strong, and it had even affected the patriarch's plan for the fate of the Zhai Lin Wang clan.

But isn't the imperial court offering a bounty for that Lu Duwei of Southern Qi?

……

Heluo West City, Zhuo Garden.

"Your Highness, Lu Shen has returned to the Seven Star Gang Headquarters, and our people have been one step late, and they have never caught up with him."

Xiao Jun looked ashamed and lowered his eyebrows.

Qing Yu Huaijin glanced at the young military general sitting opposite, and then said to Xiao Jun: "This is expected. In the next period of time, you will focus on the city, but all the ministers and generals who are related to Chen Jingtang before his death must be monitored foolproofly, I don't want to see any unexpected situations again. ”

Xiao Jun listened to her cold tone and knew that His Highness had been in an extremely bad mood recently. The impact of Chen Jingtang's death has not subsided, and the plan within the Seven Stars Gang has also failed, not only did he not kill Lin Jie to seize the power of the Seven Stars Gang, but even folded the Dian Maniac and the Shan brothers.

These three people are not ordinary masters, but killing weapons cultivated by the Qingyu family, but now they are all dead in the mountains, which is an extremely serious setback for Qingyu Huaijin.

He didn't dare to be careless, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, if the villain makes another mistake, he is willing to atone for his sins with death!" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin said indifferently: "Remember what you said today, go down." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Jun respectfully retreated.

Qing Yu Huaijin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

She thought that it would be easy for her to deal with the Northland Green Forest Gang by herself, but after being frustrated one after another, the situation did not make the slightest progress, but allowed Lin Jie to integrate the entire Seven Star Gang.

The other gangs, though very respectful to her at the moment, are limited to verbal submission, and have not made any actual moves, apparently waiting to see the situation.

If the Seven Stars Gang were to stand, they would naturally be able to follow suit.

As she pondered, the young military general next to her quietly looked at her.

This person is about 20 years old, handsome and a little arrogant.

His name is Fusan Sien, he is one of the confidant generals under Qing Yugong, who has been the former commander of the Xiashan Army, and this time he brought three thousand old soldiers south to Heluo City, which is to assist Qing Yu Huaijin to solve the resistance forces in Yan State.

"Why should Your Highness be worried?"

Fu Sansi En smiled calmly, the admiration in the depths of his eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "As long as you give the last general two months, you will definitely be able to sweep away the reckless force of the Seven Star Gang." ”

Qing Yu Huaijin had long been aware of a certain idea in his heart, and he didn't care about it, after all, among the young generation of elites in the Jing Dynasty, there were not a few people who had this kind of thought about her, and she had long been accustomed to it.

For her, it doesn't matter if she has that kind of idea, the key is whether she can use it and show her own value.

She said lightly: "If you have such an attitude of despising the enemy, I will immediately ask my father to transfer you back, and then appoint someone else to come." ”

The servant was stunned for a moment, and said with a little embarrassment: "Your Highness, the last general is not a light enemy, but this kind of reckless force has no personal courage and knows nothing about the attack of the military formation, so why should you think too highly of them?" In addition to the 3,000 people brought by the last general, please also ask Your Highness to arrange another servant army, and the last general will definitely solve the Seven Star Gang, otherwise come and see you! ”

"I have asked Li Shouzhen to prepare twenty or thirty thousand troops, and they will be handed over to you at that time." Qing Yu Huaijin said indifferently: "However, I warn you for the last time, although the Seven Star Gang is reckless, it is not as simple as you think. ”

She briefly introduced Lu Shen's life, and then said: "Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, this is the way to general, you should have learned this truth by your father's side." You are a young military general that your father has high hopes for, and I naturally believe in your ability to lead troops into battle, but if you are defeated by Lu Shen, no wonder I will not intercede with my father for you. ”

Servant Sansien frowned, he vaguely heard the county lord's jealousy of the Southern Qi general, and immediately got up and said: "Your Highness, the last general will definitely capture Lu Shen's house with his own hands and tie him up in front of His Highness." At that time, it will be up to His Highness to decide whether to kill or chop! ”

Qing Yu Huaijin's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, I hope you can do what you say and don't let me down." ”

When he heard this, his heart was hot, and he said awe-inspiringly: "The last general will definitely not live up to His Highness's high expectations!" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin smiled slightly and said, "I will have someone draw a topographical map of the vicinity of the Seven Star Gang, and you can study the combat strategy during this time." When Li Shouzhen's drill is finished, you can go into the mountain to destroy the other party. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Remember, capture Lu Shen alive and bring him to me, and I will cut him with a thousand knives."

"Yes!"
