The Xinghe era is approaching its seventh year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bianliang, the first snow of the year finally fell at the beginning of December, for the rich in the city, to welcome the new year is a good start, alms porridge sheds are built in the open space outside the city, to win some good luck in the coming year. Beggars and poor people gathered, forming a warm current that swept through the cold air.

In the restaurant, the literati gathered in warm clothes to talk about state affairs, or sneered at the Northern Expedition of the Wu Dynasty and the barbarism and toughness of the Jurchens, or faintly worried, but it is undeniable that the whole country is watching the process of the Northern War, and probably hopes that the country can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun as soon as possible.

On the street, this winter in Bianliang City, the number of students who go to Beijing to catch the exam has begun to increase, and the spring of next year will begin, these people are coming from all over the country in advance, and they are waiting for next year to win fame, find a place to be an official, or go to a higher place, gifts are also what these students need to consider, the shops on the street, you can often see people wearing books and angry people back and forth and leaving.

Then they saw the convoy of Dongchang coming, their expressions were a little complicated, and some waited until the other party passed by, and spit at their feet.

"The eunuch is in power.... Phew!"

"This brother is not to talk nonsense...... Hearing about Liangshan and Fang La, they also made great contributions. ”

"So what, act unscrupulously, although Liangshan and Fang La are bandits, but in the end they are also heroes, and they are aggrieved to die, I heard that the villages around Liangshan are still empty..... It can be seen how ruthlessly these eunuchs killed at the beginning, and how innocent those old and weak women and children were. ”

"This time they came back from the north, and they couldn't say that they also participated in the recovery of Yanyun...... Alas, it's chilling to let them go to such a grand event....."

.....

In this form, in a sense, the Dongzhi Factory on the extermination of Liangshan, Fangla and other forces has gradually spread in the north and south of the river in this year, but limited to the composition of this yamen, generally people have a disdainful attitude, thinking that some mountain bandits and cults can be easily exterminated by anyone, and for the eunuchs themselves, the scholars are even more disdainful in their words.

However, the people in the car did not know what those people were thinking, because he was home. The carriage stopped at Baifu, and Xiao Linglong was the first to jump out of the carriage and threw herself into the arms of the third sister Bai Di, who had already greeted her at the door.

"Brother is back.... Stand still. Bai Di took a peach tree branch and swept it for Bai Ning and the three of them when they entered the door to remove the bad luck outside.

Bai Ning raised his arms to let the peach branch sweep past him, and asked casually, "How is the family during the time I left?"

"My younger brother is the commander of Dongchang, how dare anyone come to find someone who is uncomfortable. Bai Di's smile was very gentle, and after seeing Xifu leading Xiao Linglong in advance, her smile gradually put away, and she said worriedly: "..... In fact, just a blessing, I can't say, after you left, the old man's body is getting worse day by day, I sent someone into the palace to let the doctor come and take a look, he said that the old man is old, the life span is over, and it is his biggest limit to survive this winter. ”

Bai Ning put down the towel that wiped his hands and lowered his eyes, "Don't tell Xifu about this, the silly girl will let her be carefree." ”

"But... That would be a bit unfair to her. ”

"I said don't tell her, don't tell her, it's not that much!" Bai Ning turned around and his tone was heavier.

Bai Di was taken aback by the other party's tone, and then remembered that her younger brother's treatment of cherishing blessings was actually a little biased, even paranoid, and often tried her best to protect the other party, which could also become another kind of injury, she looked at the back in the distance, and this worry gradually increased.

In fact, speaking of which, Bai Ning was not too serious in this matter, but the Northern Expedition made him a little breathless, the two divisions of the court, he could feel it without entering the court, there was the main station to guard against the Jurchens, and there was hope to take back Yanyun peacefully without disputes, and live a small life peacefully.

But Bai Ning knows that after this winter, the Jurchens are likely to launch a conflict to test the military strength of the Wu Dynasty, which is inevitable, if he Bai Ning is a Jurchen, he will do the same, after all, what kind of country is the neighbor, whether the military is strong or not, for the new country of Jin, it is necessary to understand, and the best way to understand is to cause trouble and provoke disputes to fight once.

When he came back, everything in the north was back in Tong Guan's hands, and he was bent on getting Yan Yun, but he also became hesitant in dealing with the relationship between the Jurchens.

So after coming back, he sent a letter to Guan Sheng, Liang Yuanchui, Suo Chao and Qin Ming, who was stationed at Yanmen Pass, if the Jin State invaded the border in the coming year, he would fight if he could, and if he couldn't fight, he would immediately evacuate the people and hide in the mountains, try to minimize casualties, put the strategic depth into the country, and drag out the supply and military resources of Nuzhen.

After being summoned back by Zhao Ji's holy decree, he had already prepared for the worst.

In the study, Bai Ning asked Gao Muen to take off the crown of his head, waved it away, and sat down quietly alone, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, this is another new year.

After a moment, silence fell.

Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion.

For half a morning, Cai Jingjing was sitting in a book looking at the man who covered his face with cloth and silk opposite, and there was a bewitching woman wearing a red flower next to him.

On the desk, there was a wrapped thing, the outline looked like a book, Cai Jing didn't touch it, the beard under his chin trembled, and he spoke: "You said that this is the account book of Dongchang's army over the years? But why don't you dare to show your true face, which makes the old man a little embarrassed about its authenticity." ”

"That's right..."On the other side, the man who only showed a pair of eyes on his face with a cloth on his face nodded, and his hoarse vocal cords sounded an uncomfortable voice like metal friction, "This is written by Dongchang Qianhu every month, and his handwriting is on it..... I stole it, and it was smeared with poison, but fortunately, my wife had some skills in detoxification, and a certain family was spared, but her face and hands were also disfigured, if Cai Xiang saw it, I was afraid that she would be frightened. ”

"Your name is Jin Poison?"

Over there, the strange man nodded, "Bao Daoyi's second apprentice, my senior brother is Zheng Biao Zheng Mojun, and he is still working for Dongchang." ”

"That's it...."Cai Jing frowned, probably understanding some of the reasons, in his heart, he looked down on the other party's behavior of eating inside and out, but if the other party really got the evidence that Dongchang was raising the army, then removing Dongchang would already be an ironclad thing.

"The old man will submit this account book, as for whether the official family believes it or not, then the two of them will say. Cai Jing pinched it and summoned the servant, "Take five hundred taels of silver for this hero..."

"Cai Xiang..."Jin Poison stood up and interrupted the other party's words, and he said in a somewhat eager tone: "You should know the intention of Jin..... Seek a future. ”

Cai Jing waved off and sat back in his chair, smiling.

At the same time, a monk entered the city.

And Bai Ning also received the will to enter the palace to face the saint. (To be continued.) )
