He Bin and Xi Neiguan left the He Mansion and soon came to the Queen Mother's Jianing Palace. At this time, the Jianing Palace is slightly quiet, as if it is a paradise outside the world. Since Emperor Wu Wei ascended the throne, the Queen Mother originally planned to stay in this Jianing Palace to recuperate.

I don't want to ask about the harem anymore, and I don't want to ask about the court. Therefore, the Queen Mother likes to be quiet, and spends most of her time in the ancestral hall every day, meditating on the Buddha and cultivating her body and mind. If it weren't for Emperor Wu Wei, who would have ignored the world, now there are internal and external troubles. The Queen Mother really couldn't bear to let Dongsheng Kingdom be ruined.

I had to secretly keep an eye on Emperor Wu Wei's every move, for fear that he would make some mess again, and Xiangguo was tortured that day, although the Queen Mother had the intention of stopping it, it was too late.

I don't want to tear my face with Emperor Wu Wei because of the affairs of Xiangguo, and at that time, the harem seemed to be calm, and the external troubles were not significant, and the Queen Mother just turned a blind eye, so she didn't know.

Now it is very different, Guo Qiuyue is becoming more and more presumptuous, and even dares to extend his poisonous claws to the queen's dragon, and the national teacher is also making a lot of money by building Shangyue Platform. Moreover, he eliminated dissidents above the court and formed a wide range of party members.

Things became more and more uncontrollable, and the Queen Mother felt how harmful they were to Dongsheng Kingdom, but if they were executed. There is no evidence, and Emperor Wu Wei has a favor for him, so he can't act rashly.

The Empress Dowager had to entrust the safety of Dongsheng Kingdom to General Han Zhenbei and He Bin, and the first emperor was afraid that the two would change when he was alive, so he removed Xiangguo and his henchmen from military power. Became a civil official. One stayed in the palace, and the other was sent to the southern frontier to guard it.

He also married Han Xueruo, the daughter of General Han Zhenbei, to Prince Wu Wei, and then settled down. And now things have changed, and the Queen Mother has to reappoint Xiangguo's henchman He Bin.

The queen mother now knows that Xiangguo has been brave and loyal all his life, and regrets that she was suspicious of him that day and slandered him in front of the first emperor, which made the first emperor suspicious and removed him from military power. Xianxiangguo was tortured by Emperor Wu Wei again, gouging out his eyes and cutting out his tongue. caused Xiangguo to suffer this catastrophe in his later years, and he felt even more guilty in his heart.

This time He Bin returned to military power, which can be regarded as a little psychological comfort for herself, she knew that if He Bin was not there, she would never dare to kill the envoys of the Turkish State that day. He Bin can be said to be the confidence of Dongsheng Kingdom, at this critical moment, the Queen Mother thinks that the only way is to kill the envoys.

can provoke the more crazy actions of the Turkish country and mess up the frontier. The Queen Mother has a reason to let He Bin regain his heavy troops, otherwise Emperor Wu Wei only knows how to be lustful in the harem every day, and allows Guo Qiuyue and the national teacher to cause trouble in the court.

The Queen Mother really doesn't know what will happen in the future, or bring Dongsheng Kingdom into a place of no return. At that time, it was too late, so the Queen Mother had to plan ahead.

Only then did he frame the envoys of the Turkish country. When the Queen Mother was in the hall, the official suddenly came to give a salute and said: "The Queen Mother, General He has already brought it, and the palace is waiting for the order." ”

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, sat up straight, picked up the rosary on the sandalwood table again, and said, "Let him come in!"

Xi Neiguan promised: "Yes".

After a short time, He Bin had already stood under His Royal Highness, knelt down and said: "Minister He Bin has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is auspicious." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, put away the rosary, and said very lovingly: "Get up!"

He Bin hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, stretched out her hand, and motioned to the servant next to her: "Give General He a seat!"

He Bin thanked him again and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother still had a loving smile on her face: "General He doesn't have to be polite. ”

After He Bin sat down, the Queen Mother said: "General He, the old man invited you to come today, first, to congratulate General He, and second, to hand over a heavy responsibility to General He." Is General He willing to do something for the old man?"

He Bin hurriedly said: "What does the Queen Mother have to tell her ministers to be honest and brainy, and I hope that the Queen Mother will make it clear." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction: "Well, it's so good, the old body really didn't misunderstand you." Who recommended General He's return to military power this time?"

He Bin said: "I don't know. ”

The Queen Mother was still smiling: "It was recommended to the emperor by the old body." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Bin was stunned at first, and then hurriedly wanted to step forward to kneel down and thank him, but the Queen Mother waved her hand to signal He Bin that he didn't have to salute again, and He Bin's upturned ass sat down again and said: "The minister Xie the Empress Dowager appreciates, and the minister should sweep away the enemy army, and return the peace of Dongsheng Country to repay the Empress Dowager's kindness." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, the smile was full of relief, Dongsheng Country is so loyal and good not afraid of external troubles, so she said with confidence: "General He's words, the old body is deeply grateful, Dongsheng Country has such a loyal minister and good general, Dongsheng Country can be worry-free." ”

Then the Queen Mother felt a little guilty, her face changed, she sighed and said: "Alas, it's a pity that ......" The Queen Mother didn't finish her words, her face was already full of sadness, He Bin was puzzled and hurriedly said: "Why is the Queen Mother sighing so much?

The Queen Mother said: "Alas, it's a pity that Xiangguo is old and frail, but he suffered this misfortune in his later years, and his old body is really sad for Xiangguo." Now that the traitor is bewitching His Majesty, His Majesty has been blinded and easily listened to slander, making Xiangguo miserable, and the old man feels ashamed!"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother actually covered her face with her sleeves and made a heart-wrenching move, He Bin was also moved by this, and the hatred was gathered on Guo Qiuyue and the national teacher, and then said: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, when the minister returns triumphantly from clearing the enemy, he will definitely eradicate the traitors for the Queen Mother and eliminate harm for the people." ”

The Queen Mother saw that He Bin was moved, and her heart was ecstatic, she was afraid that He Bin would have different intentions towards Emperor Wu Wei because of the affairs of Xiangguo, so she said this to divert He Bin's hatred and put Emperor Wu Wei out of the matter.

The Queen Mother pretended to wipe her tears, calmed down her mood and said: "It's rare that General He understands the righteousness so well, the old body is relieved by General He's words, and the old body is afraid that General He will be dangerous on the way to the Northwest Frontier, and I also ask General He to be more careful about the people around him." ”

He Bin naturally knew who the Queen Mother was referring to, Geng Jie was just a reckless man in his eyes, not worth mentioning at all, so he smiled and said: "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother should be careful in everything." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good." The old man still has something to say to General He, General He only needs to recover the lost territory to pacify the enemy army in the northwest this time, and remember not to attack the earthmoving country. ”

He Bin was puzzled, this time he went north, He Bin naturally wanted to recover Damu Prefecture, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat the Tufang Kingdom in one fell swoop. Make another great contribution to the Dongsheng country. Seeing the Queen Mother say this, she said with a puzzled face: "Why did the Queen Mother say this, although the lost land has been recovered, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat the Tufang Kingdom in one fell swoop? Why only recover the lost land, but not attack the Tufang State again? The minister is dull, and I ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." ”

The Queen Mother knew that He Bin would naturally ask about it, so she didn't think about it. He then said: "Although General He is brave and good at fighting, doesn't he know the truth that it is difficult to defend against open guns and hidden arrows? If General He recovers the lost territory and crushes the Tufang State, and since then the northwest frontier is stable, won't General He lose his military power again?"

"If General He has no military power, can he be sure to resist the hidden arrows in this deep palace? Only when the Turkish Kingdom has been peeking into the border of Dongsheng Kingdom, General He can always hold heavy troops. You won't be easily victimized by traitors, you understand?"

After listening to the words of the Queen Mother, He Bin immediately had an epiphany, he wanted to make military contributions for the Dongsheng country, but he never thought that if the enemy on the surface was eliminated, the enemy behind the scenes would be more difficult to prevent, and at that time, the Dongsheng country would be stable, and he would lose his value. What else to do to fight with Guo Qiuyue.

Thinking of this, He Bin was shocked into a cold sweat, and then said: "Empress Dowager Xie reminded, but the minister has something unclear, and I ask the Empress Dowager to give advice." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, although the wrinkles on her old face were Hengsheng, she was as calm as ever, and she was more sophisticated and said to the city government: "Since General He is recommended by the old body, he naturally wants to ensure that General He is fine, and it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”

He Bin then said: "If the minister only recovers the lost territory and does not attack the earthy country, I am afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied, what should the minister do." Besides, if the earthwork country is not destroyed, what reason should the minister have to return to the court?"

The Queen Mother laughed after hearing this: "General He went north this time to pacify the enemy army, so there is no need to return to the court." ”

He Bin wanted to say something, but let the Queen Mother answer first: "General He, but what if His Majesty orders an attack on the Tufang Kingdom?"

He Bin didn't expect the Queen Mother to know people's hearts so well, so he had to say: "The minister has this doubt." ”

The Queen Mother then said: "General He doesn't have to worry, the old body has his own way." General He only needs to regain the lost territory, and then send a messenger to inform the old man first. Then send a messenger to report the battle to His Majesty. The rest of the things are naturally handled properly. ”

He Bin had the queen mother's backing, so he had a few more chances of winning, so he said: "Everything is up to the queen mother." ”

After everything was explained, the Queen Mother put her mind at ease, and when she saw that it was not too early, she said a little sleepily: "Since General He has understood the meaning of the old body, please go back to the house first! The old body is old and frail, and he is a little sleepy, so he really can't bother anymore." ”

He Bin arched his hand and said: "Minister, I wish the Queen Mother all the blessings and peace of Jin'an, and please ask the Queen Mother to take care of her body and retire." ”

Ten days later, He Bin led an army of 200,000 to the north to block the enemy army in the northwest. In the past dynasties, Dongsheng went abroad to fight, in order to boost morale. It is also the current emperor's personal expedition. Or maybe the current emperor himself is doing great things for the soldiers.

And Emperor Wu Wei is still singing and dancing in the Xiaoyao Palace at the moment, drunk like mud. I have long forgotten about He Bin's expedition today. It's just that a few days ago, he told the national teacher to act on his behalf for the soldiers.

Present today is the national teacher and his henchman Wang Shuang, both of whom have a bad stomach, and Geng Jie, the henchman of the other national teacher, is already wearing armor at the moment, and he is not at all what he used to be, although he has never been on the battlefield, but he is wearing armor and holding a spear, but he has become a general.

Although the national teacher was malicious towards He Bin and wanted to tear him to pieces, he had a sincere face on his face, and He Bin also pretended that the relationship between the two was still good, and his smile in the face of the national teacher did not decrease.

At this moment, the outside of Chang'an City is already a black press, the 200,000 army is as magnificent as a long dragon, the national teacher stood in front of the soldiers, first with He Bin pretended to shout and ask for warmth, and then shouted to the soldiers: "The minister is under the emperor's decree today, and he is here to make a strong trip for the soldiers, and he will prepare a little wine today." This first cup is dedicated to the heavens, and I am invincible to all the soldiers of Dongsheng Kingdom. ”

"This second cup respects the land of my Dongsheng country and blesses my children and grandchildren for all generations. The soldiers are strong. This third cup is to your Majesty and the soldiers of the whole army, and I wish Your Majesty the blessings of Longwei and the triumphant return of the whole army. ”

After the national teacher finished the three cups of wine, he took another bowl. Raised his hands high and said: "The ministers are heroic for the soldiers, come, drink ......"

The soldiers raised the wine glasses in their hands and drank them down. Then he smashed the wine glass and said in unison: "Xie Guoshi." ”

After He Bin drank the Zhuangxing wine, he smiled and looked at the national teacher, and the national teacher also smiled, although the two of them were smiling, they already hated each other in their hearts. But there was no hostility in sight.

The national teacher summoned Geng Jie to the front, and said with a sincere face: "General He's martial arts dominate the world, General Geng's first battle, and everything is discussed with General He." You two don't let down Your Majesty's expectations!"

Geng Jie had a look of shame on his face, and he didn't dare to slack off in front of He Bin, seeing that the national teacher said this, he hurriedly said with a humble face: "The last general, Geng Jie, thanks to His Majesty's love, is specially appointed as the commander of the supervising army. I also ask General He to take care of him. ”

Although General He was full of hostility, he didn't dare to show it, so he had to say modestly: "Although this general has been on the battlefield for a long time and has been fighting with his mentor for several years, he is also a sage and sage who governs the country, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. The general has not fought for many years, he is really ashamed, how dare he show off in front of the national teacher, and ask the national teacher to be compassionate. ”

The national teacher laughed, and when he saw He Bin say this, he had to say: "General He is humble, no one in Dongsheng Kingdom knows General He's martial arts, and he bravely broke into the enemy camp and retreated unscathed." Come and go freely, and he is really the first fierce general of Dongsheng Kingdom. The first emperor also praised General He in public!"

He Bin smiled slightly and said: "The general is ashamed, that was also before, the national teacher still took it out and did it again, it's not too early, please ask the national teacher to return to the palace as soon as possible! ”

Then He Bin jumped immediately, tightened the reins and said: "All the soldiers listen to the order and line up to march." ”

The national teacher watched He Bin commanding the generals, and the hatred in his heart increased suddenly, and he stood far away, his hands clenched. The bones gurgled, the killing intent in his eyes condensed, and he saw the army raise dust and drift away. The national teacher summoned Wang Shuang to the front, Wang Shuang looked sinister, and when he saw that the national teacher was displeased, he hurriedly comforted: "Teacher, He Bin may not be able to defeat the enemy army of the Turkish country this time, if he is defeated and returns, his life will be the teacher's." Why should the teacher be bored? ”

The national teacher sneered and said: "He Bin is brave and invincible, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time. Familiar with the art of war, this time with an army of 200,000 to conquer the enemy army of the Turkish country, there is no reason to be invincible. ”

Wang Shuang said with a lost face: "How should the teacher deal with it? Isn't it cheap for that kid." ”

The national teacher stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the army in the distance, smiled coldly, his smile was full of sinister malice, and then said confidently: "When he returns triumphantly, it will be the day he will be buried." When the time comes, all military exploits have nothing to do with him, and he ...... Hehe......"

The national teacher did not finish his words, leaving only a sinister and vicious smirk...... Wang Shuang saw the national teacher laughing, and laughed together: "Hehe......"
