The general went out again at night + extra episode

"Don't worry, Governor Qin." Xia Qingshu smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the gloomy sky: "These annoying things will be resolved in the end."

Seeing Xia Qingshu's indifferent expression, Qin Lu frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "Could it be that you've already figured out a way, what are you going to do? Tell me."

"How to do it?" Xia Qingshu turned around and met Qin Lu's eyes, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Same as you, go back home and rest."

Chapter 21

Before noon, Emperor Hongsu's desk was full of memorials.He took a copy out of it, opened it, glanced at it quickly, and closed it again.He took out another copy, opened it and read the first two characters, then closed it again.

"It's the impeachment of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies again!" Emperor Hongsu was having a headache, looking at the mountain of desktops and said: "It's all memorials handed in by officials and censors. The matter has only just begun to be investigated, and the conclusion has not yet been determined. The minister impatiently asked me to convict Qin Lu, Xia Qingshu and others, how can this be done? What kind of crime is it? The cabinet didn't even stop them, they all sent to me!"

"The emperor is angry." Deng Li, the eunuch holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, walked slowly to the emperor, brought the tea, smiled slightly, and said in a warm voice: "Several senior scholars in the cabinet should feel that this matter is related to the emperor. The city is in danger, and I dare not make any claims, so I send them all to the imperial court, and ask your Majesty to make up your mind. The tea is hot, so be careful, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongsu took the teacup, flipped the tea leaves with the lid, took a few more breaths, and slowly took a sip from his lips.The tea was sweet and fragrant, and Emperor Hongsu calmed down a bit, and said slowly: "The worries of the senior scholars are also my worries. The thieves even dare to break into the Governor's Mansion. If they are not restrained, if they break into Da Nei, that’s fine.”

Deng Liwei stood beside Emperor Hongsu with his waist bowed. Hearing this, he laughed: "Your Majesty is too worried. The iron guards in the palace are not as strict as those in the Dudu's Mansion. The old servant feels that those two assassins broke into the palace. The Governor's Mansion is just lucky, and there is nothing to be afraid of if there is a mistake in the night patrol. In a few days, when the Qin Governor and General Xia catch the assassin, they will beheaded in public and hang their heads in the vegetable market as an excuse. In this way, It can also deter those villains who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so as to show the emperor's prestige. As for the impeachment of these ministers, His Majesty also knows that civil and military affairs have not been dealt with since ancient times..."

Deng Li stopped talking just in time, his shrewd eyes slid onto Emperor Hongsu's face, and looked at him carefully.He has been with Emperor Hongsu for seventeen years, and he knows the emperor's disposition and temper very clearly. He said half of some things, and the emperor can understand the rest without any effort.

Emperor Hongsu ascended the throne at the age of 15, and for nearly seven years, he has experienced all the open and secret struggles among civil and military officials. Hearing Deng Li's words this time, he immediately understood.

There have been party disputes in all dynasties, and Dayan is no exception.Among the Great Yan, the biggest party struggle is the confrontation between civil and military.The civil servants felt that the military officers were a bunch of rough people who knew nothing about fighting and killing all day long.The military officials felt that the civil servants had no power to restrain their chickens, they only knew how to play tricks and talk cleverly, which was very fake.

Over time, this dislike has intensified and developed into a political alliance and hostility.

This is why so many memorials to impeach the Dudufu were received this morning.

Emperor Hongsu sighed helplessly, and then said to Deng Li: "Choose a few replies to the impeachment memorial, and take the rest away. I don't want to see them."

"Yes." Deng Li smiled, waved his hand, and then several young eunuchs came quickly, quickly taking away the memorial on the desk.

***

In the bamboo forest in the suburbs of Beijing, Xia Qingshu squatted in an open space, stretched out her finger to wipe off the blood stains on the dead leaves, wiped it away with her thumb, and put it in front of her nose to smell it.

Then she moved her footsteps and moved a little to the side. The dead leaves there also had impact marks, and judging from the outline, it was also in the shape of a human.This means that not long ago, two people fell here and were still injured.But... Judging by the blood volume, it is not fatal.

Who were these two injured by?Where did you go?

"General, there are traces on some bamboos in the bamboo forest ahead." Liu Yan came quickly and said.

"Go and have a look." Xia Qingshu clapped her hands, got up, and walked towards the place.

The branches and leaves of this bamboo forest are dense, and there is a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground. The few snowflakes that fell last night have already melted.At the same level of sight, you can see the traces of being scratched by sharp tools on the thick green bamboo with the mouth of the bowl, and there are several flat holes.

Xia Qingshu looked at these traces thoughtfully.

After a while, she moved her body and said to Liu Yan, "Retreat the troops and return to the residence."

"Yes." Liu Yan gave the order, and the group left the bamboo forest.

For the next whole day, Xia Qingshu really did as she said, resting in the mansion, never leaving the gate.

Seeing this, Liu Qi thought she was tired today, so he didn't bother her, but the next day, Xia Qingshu still looked so idle, he had to be in a hurry.

He had heard about Qu Yong's incident. The honest and honest man suddenly became an assassin. He must have been used by someone with a heart.General Xia has lost a game now, and now he should take the initiative to attack, why sit and wait for death!

Liu Qi knocked on the door of the study while pinching the residence newspaper sent by the officials of the capital.
