"This..."Dongfang Yang looked very embarrassed, and was speechless for a long time, "Your Majesty, this General Qiu was recommended by the Flower Factory Gong at the beginning, I'm afraid it is inconvenient for the old minister to comment." ”

"Dongfang Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it, just say it if you have anything. "Zhu Di didn't know that this Jinyiwei and Dongchang were secretly fighting, these things were not a good thing for his own rule of the dynasty, and he could be restrained left and right, which could be used for his own use, and there would be no dominance of one party, "The dude doesn't have to worry about Dongfang, and I believe that I won't hate you because of such a trivial matter." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Since Zhu Di has already said so, where does Dongfang Yang dare to swallow and vomit, and after a little thought, he said, "Although this General Qiu is familiar with military books and is good at Sun Wu's skills, he has never had the experience of fighting on the battlefield, I'm afraid... Lao Chen just thinks that this General Qiu is probably only good at talking on paper, not a general. Dongfang Yang said this, his tone paused, glanced at Zhu Di's expression, and saw that Zhu Di did not have any obvious expression, so he said with confidence, "Your Majesty, this time the Tatars pressed the border, General Qiu's 300,000 army was defeated, I heard that Canghai only recovered a mere 80,000 horses, it seems that there should be a lot of people and horses around this General Qiu, but now he doesn't know where to go, you can execute him Ling Chi with this emperor alone." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Dongfang Aiqing, now is not the time to convict, the top priority is to think about how to stop the Tatar army." "Zhu Di didn't want to kill Qiu Tianfang, so as to calm the anger in his heart, but in that case, his plan to contain Jinyiwei with the help of Dongchang would be in vain, and Zhu Di would not allow any threat that would shake his throne.

Dongfang Yang has been an official for many years, how can he not know that this Qiu Tianfang is actually a chess piece, used to contain Bai Canghai's forces on the northwest border, Dongfang Yang never thought that the emperor would really adopt what he said, "Yes, the emperor, but the old minister has put the cart before the horse." Dongfang Yang stood up and said in confession.

Zhu Di took the copy and looked at it for a long time before he sighed again and said, "Dongfang Aiqing, you said... Can you, the Black Flag Army, really live up to my expectations?" Zhu Di was full of worries, now that the Ming Dynasty was under internal and external pressure in his own hands, the imperial power was not yet stable, and the Tatars took advantage of the chaos to suppress the situation, how could Zhu Di not have a trace of sorrow in his heart?

"Your Majesty, I think that the soldiers of Liangzhou City are full of food, and it is difficult for the Tatars to break through, and there are two horns on the side of Liangzhou City, Suzhou and Ganzhou, and the three cities are attacking and defending each other, and he Tatar can not advance a point. Although Dongfang Yang said so, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, after all, this Suzhou guard Wu Qian is a close confidant of Dongchang, and although Xiong Wanli of Ganzhou is not from Dongchang, but Ganzhou is too far away from Liangzhou, I am afraid that it will be too late.

"Yes, the Liangzhou soldiers are well fed, and they are a barrier in the northwest of my Ming Dynasty. Hearing Dongfang Yang say this, Zhu Di also put down a lot of heart, and looked at the night even thicker, "Dongfang Aiqing, listening to Qing's words made me feel a lot of peace, it's not early, you should go back to rest early, don't hurt your body, I can't lose such a right-hand man of you, ah... Haha..."

"The emperor has every opportunity, he really has to take care of the dragon body, and he must not overwork; the old minister can still worry about the emperor for a few more years. Dongfang Yang gave Zhu Di a courtesy, "Then the emperor, the old minister will retire first." Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, and Dongfang Yang turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Outside the closed door of the "father-in-law", a man dressed in fine clothes, who at first glance looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, stood in front of the door, his face was a little frightening, but there was no pain on his face, and it was not because of injury.

Dongfang Yang, who was in the door, opened his closed eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice, "It's Yue'er, come in." After speaking, Dongfang Yang waved his right hand, and the door that was still closed just now had been opened by Dongfang Yang.

Dongfang Yue walked in with a smile and found a random place to sit down, "Father-in-law, it's so late, the emperor still wants to summon you, could it be that he has changed his mind again and wants to reuse our Jinyiwei?"

"Okay, Yue'er, don't play dumb riddles with me here, could it be that you came to me so late to say such unimportant words?" Dongfang Yang closed his eyes, and the seemingly casual words made Dongfang Yue show an unnatural smile on his face, and he laughed, "Okay, none of my Dongfang Yang's righteous sons are a waste, and you still want to pretend to be wise and foolish in front of me?" ”

"Hehe, father-in-law, look at what you said, if you want to pick up martial arts, I'm not as good as my eldest brother, and if I want to talk about resourcefulness, I'm not the opponent of my second brother, it's better to be a merry son. Dongfang Yue said with a sneer.

"Hmph!" Dongfang Yang snorted lightly, "Okay, how are the things I asked you to do? ”

When it came to business, Dongfang Yue's face was much less playful, and he replied seriously, "Father-in-law, our Jinyiwei has secretly networked a lot of people this time, and Zhu Di, the old fox, still wants to curb our strength." Dongfang Yue said, the mockery on his face was even worse, "By the way, there is another thing, I just got a letter from the second brother, which said that someone in the Valley of Bliss actually infiltrated Wudang Mountain as a Changfeng Dart Bureau, but there was no major problem, everything went smoothly." ”

Hearing the news from Dongfang Ling, Dongfang Yang frowned slightly, "Changfeng Dart Bureau? Bliss Valley? How could they get together? This Fang Haoyan has always been pretentious and high-minded on weekdays, and he has never had anything to do with these evil and crooked demon sects, what?" Dongfang Yang said to himself, "Is Yan'er back? This Nizi knows to run around all day long; and Yue'er, you have to change this big or small problem, that is the emperor, so open-mouthed, even your stepfather will not be able to protect you at that time." ”

was taught another lesson by Dongfang Yang, Dongfang Yue's face was somewhat helpless, "I know, father-in-law, the child knows that you are loyal, and the child just can't see that you are tired of working hard for him and the world surnamed Zhu on weekdays, but the emperor still doubts you, and even uses Dongchang to restrain our Jinyiwei." Dongfang Yue poured a cup of tea for Dongfang Yang and continued, "The second brother wrote that the fourth sister still didn't want to come back, so she had to go to the eldest brother again, saying that you must find out what task your father-in-law secretly gave the eldest brother." ”

Dongfang Yang was made to laugh by the temper of his righteous daughter, and took a sip of tea, "Yue'er, your sister is a little similar to you, so playful, if you miss my big thing, you won't be able to teach Yan'er a good lesson when I come back." ”

Knowing that what his father-in-law said was a joke, Dongfang Yue also joked, "Father-in-law, I think you can't, among the four of us, the fourth sister is the most favored by you, when have you ever seen her murder since I was a child." ”
