Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Lin Chong lifted his sore neck from the examination papers of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition when he was busy in the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies.Immediately, he saw that Wu Song was nestling in a corner of his public room, holding a book on military affairs and reading it with great interest.

"Wu Erlang, the office is gone, it's time to go back."

Lin Chong's shout woke Wu Song up from the book, "Brother, your Wei Sheng Wei Liao's military book, the annotations on it are really good, and some things that I didn't understand in the past can be easily solved after reading brother's annotations."

Lin Chong said: "After these are the official explanations, I thought about adding some of my own understanding. If you like to read it, take it. If you don't understand something, just ask the official."

"Thank you brother." Wu Song stuffed the book into his sleeve without hesitation.

Seeing that Wu Song still described himself as he used to be, Lin Chong invited him back to the palace for dinner.

Wu Song hesitated for a moment, "Brother, I'll go back to the mansion to order some of my own things. What regulations do you have for me, brother?"

"Just pick up valuables, what you love, and what you need. Let the housekeeper prepare some boxes for you. If the boxes don't fit, come and tell me tomorrow. It's enough to bring these into the palace. Anyway, you You can also go out of the palace every day, and go back to the mansion to pick up anything. There is one thing, San Niangzi also told me at the beginning, you can no longer stay outside the palace after entering the palace. Of course, if you have to stay outside the palace , I need to send someone back to the palace to say something, and the palace will send Xiao Huangmen to serve. Also, drinking is not allowed."

Hearing that drinking is not allowed, Wu Song immediately loses face.

"Brother, why is that?"

"The government doesn't like people who are drunk, well, just like the two of us last night. They don't like people who smell of alcohol."

Wu Song immediately bowed to Lin Chong, "Thank you brother for teaching me."

Lin Chong nodded, and continued to explain while tidying up the test scores on the desk.

"The government doesn't like anyone who drinks too much, and it's for the sake of his heirs. She often said that Li Taibai was addicted to alcohol, and the sons he gave birth to were stupid, all caused by drinking. You don't know if you haven't been in Beijing for a few years. , she will often announce the newly married generals and couples into the palace, and warn them about this. Alright, let's go."

"Brother wants to take these back?" Wu Song pointed to the poor performance of the test.

"It's the same when you watch it in the palace after dinner. If you have to finish these things early, the soldiers you brought back are still waiting for rewards."

The two broke up at the gate of the Fifth Army Dudu's Mansion.

After Lin Chong went back to Zichen Palace to have dinner with the Empress and the Empress Dowager, the two took the Empress Dowager to play for a while, and then went to work separately.But the princess twisted her body and refused to hug Lin Chong. She still had to follow her mother and watch her handle the court affairs.Lin Chong couldn't help but regret that he drank too much last night, and when Lin Chong finished handling the matters at hand, the Empress had already put her daughter to sleep.

"Third Lady, Wu Erlang took your imperial decree to the Fifth Army Yamen today."

Hu Sanniang raised her eyes with interest, "What did he say?"

"He said that he and I can't both be in the capital. He will go back to the Northern Army in half a year. He said that if you believe in Sun Xin, why don't you let him replace Qin Ming to rest."

Hu Sanniang smiled noncommittally, "Wu Erlang will think about these things now."

Lin Chong couldn't tell what Hu Sanniang meant when he said that, so he just continued to talk to Hu Sanniang according to his own thoughts.

"It's fine if we don't know about the military camp. If we know, we can't ignore it."

Hu Sanniang said disdainfully: "Those people also pretended to use the name of the Zhao family to make a gimmick for the restoration of Zhao Ji. The real intention was to make the country bigger and bigger. The former Song Dynasty was entangled by Khitan and Daliao for many years. Even when Zhao Huan was trying to die, I didn't see these people fighting with him. They just saw that I won the world easily, and they wanted to get the 20 troops outside, and they came back to force me to give up. .”

Lin Chong nodded, that's exactly what Hu Sanniang said.At the beginning, those who wanted to die for the former Song Dynasty died with Zhao Ji's prince Zhao Huan regardless. The remaining civil servants and generals cherished their lives for many years, how could they still miss being loyal to the Zhao family?

"Why don't I come back instead of Qin Ming. Qin Ming came back the year before last for a review. I'll go to the north, so I can deal with those who have evil intentions in terms of status."

Lin Chong said abruptly that Hu Sanniang was taken aback.

"Why do you think so? Whether you go or Qin Ming is there, the treatment is the same. And I will not be suspicious of Qin Ming and others. Even if they bring 20 troops back to Beijing, they will not force me at all. I think that Tong Guan was also sneaked out of the Chinese army by me."

Isn't that the way it is, the leading generals like Liangshan, no matter how many soldiers are given to them, they will not have any crooked thoughts of using mutiny to take Hu Sanniang's position.

How about being an emperor, Zhao Ji was still under the protection of the imperial army, and was forced to the Zen seat by Hu Sanniang into the palace.

Seeing that Hu Sanniang didn't have the intention to send him to the north, Lin Chong comforted himself, closed his eyes and made up his mind.

"Third lady, once Wu Erlang has been there for five years, he will stay in Beijing for a few years instead. He can also afford the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. After the north is pacified, there are Tubo and Dali. We will always achieve your goal in our lifetime." wish."

Hu Sanniang looked at Lin Chong's generous posture, and couldn't help but chuckled in her heart. This is out of sight... Alas, I can't help myself or others.The empress of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard really wasn't something she could play around with.

"There is no rush to settle this matter tonight. Allow me to think about it. Have you ever thought about Lin'er's dependence on you? Even I am used to seeing you in this palace every day."

A hot current rose in Lin Chong's heart. The third lady had to treat him like this, and he had to calm down the north first.

"I'm Lin'er's father, so I should do something for her. Third lady, I just can't bear it..." Lin Chong stopped talking, hugged the empress tightly, and said, "I only went out for three or five years and came back soon. of."

Yes, three to five years passed really quickly.The two have been together for four years now.

In the morning of the second day, Hu Sanniang said to Lin Chong, "Are you still insisting on going to the north?"

Lin Chong nodded, lingering all night, he was reluctant to give up but he knew better what he should do, which was the best for the empress and the empress.

"Then you throw that prodigal son to the Imperial Army or send him back to the Daming Mansion. I'm afraid Wu Erlang might strangle him to death someday if you're not here."

Lin Chong hesitated, "Don't you all like to listen to his songs and joke with him? Erlang shouldn't be so hard-pressed, right? That's what the lady relieves boredom."

"You do as I say. Although he was only called to the palace to sing, but Wu Erlang has a quick temper, and it doesn't make sense to let him hurt a life for nothing. Chai Jin and the others complained to me a few times It's time."

Lin Chong was comforted, it turned out that Chai Jin and the others also had opinions on Yan Qing.

"I'll ask Yan Qing to see how he chooses. But he probably won't be willing to go back to the Daming Mansion, so Lu Junyi will take him as a slave and raise him as a slave. He will be released to the imperial army in the capital camp. Wu Erlang will inevitably know someday. It’s even worse to go outside.”

"Okay, you can ask him. It's not easy for that kid, or you can take him to the Northern Expedition Army and let him earn military merits and settle down."

Lin Chong grinned, who would be easy.If it wasn't for not wanting to make Hu Sanniang unhappy, when I saw Yan Qing for the first time in the palace, I wanted to crush his throat so that he could no longer sing those captivating tunes.

That is simply a mountain spirit and sea charm.However, these women like him regardless of their age, and even their three-year-old daughter likes to listen to his singing.

After the Xiaochao meeting, Hu Sanniang transferred Qin Hui from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and sent him to Li Gang as an assistant.After a few days, Hu Sanniang discovered the benefits of using Qin Hui.He can keep up with his thoughts and steps better than Li Gang, and he is more serious and organized than Li Gang.Such a result made Hu Sanniang let go of using Qin Hui, and began to pay attention to those officials who had given Zhao Ji a strong request to resist the gold.

Sure enough, I really picked a few for her.

For example: Sun Fu, Zhang Suo, Jiang Gongwang, Xu Jingheng, Lu Haowen, Ma Shen. ,

At the end of the former Song Dynasty, either because they were not in the capital, or because they did not die with the prince, they passed the training and assessment in Taixue one after another, and arranged to return to their respective positions.

Hu Sanniang spent a few afternoons talking with these people in detail one by one, consulting their affairs and their views on the government.When talking, sometimes he hugged the empress dowager, and sometimes asked the empress dowager to stand aside and listen.

For the last time, Qin Hui, Lu Haowen, Xu Jingheng were summoned at the same time, and Lin Chong was also asked to accompany him.This has never happened.

Lin Chong couldn't guess what Hu Sanniang was going to do, so he inevitably felt a little nervous, but fortunately he was able to hold back.

Hu Sanniang asked the princess to stand beside her, and said to the three civil servants: "As the empress, I have been on the throne for five years. Do you think there is any difference between male and female emperors in this world?"

Ha, you have been the empress for more than five years to ask us the difference?

Just can you tell the difference?

The three of them are all people with clear minds, and they immediately guessed the empress's thoughts to a certain extent.

Because of Qin Hui's position, he has seen more with the Empress recently, and he is less nervous about being an emperor.He first got up and saluted the empress and the prince, and then saluted Lin Chong.

"I have been following Your Majesty for several years. Now the world is stable and the people live in peace. Although the war continues, the building collapsed overnight compared to a few years ago. It all depends on Your Majesty's wisdom and courage. I can't see that the world respects a female emperor or a man is an emperor. What is the difference."

The empress nodded and asked Qin Hui to sit down.His eyes turned to Xu Jingheng.

Xu Jingheng immediately stood up and said: "I heard that Your Majesty prepared an edict to inherit the Dayuan world before the birth of the princess. Dayuan uses the power of all the people in the world to support a family and a family name. As long as this family name can bring prosperity and stability to the people, It is enough to give back to the world.”

Lu Haowen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Qin and Lord Xu's proposition. I also think that for the people of the world, as long as they can live in peace, have enough food and clothing, whether the crown prince or the crown prince will inherit your throne, There is no difference."

Hu Sanniang nodded in satisfaction.

"Since the three adults are well-learned people and ministers of the humerus of the court think so, I am very relieved. The crown daughter is my only blood, and now she is four years old. I have the heart to invite the three adults to be the crown prince. Teacher, teach the princess how to give back to the people of the world, so that the people of Dayuan can be stable and prosperous. How many adults are willing?"

What is there not to be willing to be a teacher to the princess?

At that moment, the Empress asked Xiao Huangmen to bring the study schedule drawn up for the Empress Dowager and distribute it to the three of them.I just said to wait until next year's Mid-Autumn Festival to see the progress of the princess before making adjustments.

After sending the ministers away, Lin Chong said to Hu Sanniang, "Isn't it too early to be enlightened now?"

Hu Sanniang shook her head and said, "I don't want her to study like other children. Now it's only one hour every morning, and we can talk about it after Mid-Autumn Festival next year."

Lin Chong stopped talking, looked carefully at the princess's study schedule, and sighed deeply. He was 14 years old, not to mention four years old. Although he had studied hard, he spent more effort on sticks than books.

The princess pulled her mother's sleeve and asked, "Mother, am I going to study?"

Hu Sanniang nodded, "Do you like it? The three adults today will come to teach you in the future."

The princess was a little disappointed, "Aniang, I'm not going to Yanfu Palace."

Hu Sanniang touched the princess's hair, "Lin'er, what you have to learn is different from those children. They learn the way of being a minister, and you learn the way of being a king. But there are some common courses, such as numerology. , you will also go to Yanfu Palace to attend classes in the future. But after you are five years old."

The princess has not yet established a clear awareness of her age, but with a child of her age, it is time for her mother to believe what she says.Hearing this, he nodded and put aside the matter of going to Yanfu Palace, as he could go there at that time. .
