The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

The next day, Xu Bei got up late. It was really because the home was too comfortable and warm. He stretched his waist and listened. There was a faint voice in the yard. It was Min Qing talking to Sun Dagui, worried about the noise. Waking him up, his voice was very low.

Xu Bei grinned, quickly got up from the kang, and walked out of the house while exercising his muscles and bones. He saw Jiang Ping leaning on the door frame and looked into the yard with a smile on his mouth. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and said, "Get up, your brother!" Said that you are tired all the way, let you sleep more, and your brother is a pretty good boy."

Xu Bei was immediately happy, walked to the door and looked towards the yard with him, and asked, "I finally let you see it, I thought you would know it when you saw Min Qing yesterday."

Jiang Ping laughed, shook his head with a smile, but explained to Xu Bei anyway.

He and Sun Dagui were the first to get up, and the habits they have developed over the years are no worse than Xu Bei's body, which is not used to running all the way.The two got up early and talked for a while. Jiang Ping knew that Xu Minqing's half-old child never made him worry. Even without him watching, he would arrange everything in an orderly manner. The child was in charge of the family early, and he consciously followed him to work in the fields, but he was far inferior to Xu Minqing. Because of his age, his own children would sometimes play outside and forget the time.

As for Min Qing, he practiced boxing with Sun Dagui every morning to exercise, and wrote five large characters before breakfast. He never stopped. Urging him to turn off the lights and go to bed early so as not to ruin his body.

Xu Bei felt complacent when he heard this, but at the same time felt a little sad. If it hadn't been for the sudden disaster, Min Qing would have been happy at the knees of his parents like other children, and would have acted like a spoiled child.

"Brother, are you up?" Xu Minqing stopped what he was doing, turned his head and saw the elder brother and Jiang Ping who were looking at here together, told Sun Dagui and walked over, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead , with bright eyes, "Brother, why don't you sleep more?"

"Get used to it, you won't be able to fall asleep even if you sleep, get up early to loosen your muscles and bones, or your bones will be brittle, let me see your little arm." Xu Bei pulled Xu Minqing's arm and squeezed the soft flesh on both sides of him , said happily, "It seems that the results have been good during this period of time. The flesh on this arm is stronger than before."

Xu Minqing was very happy when he heard it. Just to get such affirmation, he insisted on practicing martial arts with Sun Dagui even when it was snowing.

Xu Bei patted him and said, "Go in and wipe off your sweat, and change into clothes so you don't get cold."

"Understood, brother." Xu Minqing greeted Jiang Ping with a smile and went into the house, and Xu Bei walked into the yard and moved his neck.

They all got up very early, and Xu Bei punched in the yard for a while before Granny Qian knocked on the door and came over to help the men cook breakfast.

After resting at home for two days, Xu Bei started to deal with the goods in his hand. Lao Qiu also rushed over from home and learned that he had earned a lot of silver with Xu Bei. His wife asked him to bring Xu Bei a lot of farmhouses output.

Xu Minqing also had a rest day, Jiang Ping got into the carriage, Xu Bei took him to Suanzhou, and Wang Guanshi sent news that the food was available.

The carriage was driving on the streets of Kang County. The scene on the streets was still as depressed as when we came back. The grain and rice shops passing by were still closed. Xu Bei wondered, "Why hasn't the situation improved? Doesn't it mean that the prince is distributing grain now?" Is it true that our county magistrate here followed a dead end with the surname Ma to his death?"

Jiang Ping sneered and said: "It's just a fluke, thinking that the one can resist the prince and the others."

When he left the city gate, he saw a lot of yellow and emaciated people gathered outside the city gate, and the officials stopped them from entering the city.Xu Bei frowned. He didn't see these people two days ago. How bad is the situation?The weather is cold, outside the city gate, I am afraid that I will freeze to death before I can fill my stomach.

"The magistrate of this county is trying to die!" Xu Bei said angrily.

"Brother, if the magistrate of the county wants to open a granary to distribute grain at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to open it. Now there may be no grain in the government's granary." Xu Minqing lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, guessing after a little thought roughly.

"How come?" Xu Bei was startled.

"Brother, the county offices below Suanzhou probably sent the food to Mr. Ma long ago. The whole northern region is worried about food shortage, and only Mr. Ma is not worried." Xu Minqing sneered.

"Damn it!" Xu Bei, Jiang Ping and the others also reacted, cursing bitterly.

"Brother, look quickly, there are people coming over there, and there seems to be a grain cart behind." Xu Minqing pointed to the front and exclaimed in surprise.

Several people also heard the sound of horseshoes, turned their heads and saw a group of armored soldiers and horses appearing on the official road, and the word "Xiao" was clearly written on the carriage behind. The relief people asked about the granary of the county government. Xu Bei's expressions quickly turned from anger to joy, and they drove the carriage aside to make way for the people waiting outside.

"People who have nothing to do with it quickly retreat, and you will set up a pot to cook porridge here, and the rest will go to the city with me to search the county government."

"Yes, my lord!"

The gates of the city were quickly busy, and the officials who had originally stopped the people from entering the city were so frightened that they trembled and knelt down and yelled for mercy.

"It's really great. The Ma's family in Fucheng will definitely not have good fruit to eat. Let's go to Suanzhou to see if the birthday banquet for the Ma family can continue." Xu Bei called Jiang Ping hurriedly drove to Fucheng, and couldn't wait to see what happened to Ma.

"Okay." Jiang Ping was also in a good mood, the lord and the others finally freed up their hands to punish these scrambling dog officials, it was really satisfying.

&&&

In just a few days, the drastic changes in the situation are dazzling.

At the border pass, King Dingbei did not wait for several tribes outside the pass to jointly attack the city, and took the initiative to send troops to destroy their alliance first.

In the capital, Grand Master Fu and Queen Mother Qi were aggressive and had to fight back. The smoke of the war was not necessarily inferior to the war at the border, and officials fell from time to time.Chen Wangwen sat in the backstage and reaped the benefits, watching the situation with a smile, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and the big position is at his fingertips.

The third young master Xiao also made frequent appearances in the capital, gaining a lot of hearts, and the strange thing is that every time he can coincidentally avoid the battle between Grand Master Fu and King Qi.In private, he had reached an agreement with someone, and when the news of the border war came, it was the time for them to close the net.

Different from Yanzhou City, in the capital, as the only spokesperson of the Dingbei Palace, Third Young Master Xiao has received attention from all parties and received a lot of praise. This makes Third Young Master Xiao more complacent, and he no longer needs to be inferior to his elder brother and fourth younger brother. Under the circumstances, as for the second brother, he only knows how to follow behind the eldest brother and be an answerer, extremely useless and incompetent.

Third Young Master Xiao couldn't wait to congratulate Chen Wang with wine. The two sat on the high platform, talking and laughing, admiring the graceful figure of Meiji below.

"My lord, I wish you my wish as soon as possible. Maybe next time I come to Beijing, I will change to another place to congratulate you." Third Young Master Xiao raised his wine glass and said meaningfully.

change place?What else could it be, of course it is the Golden Luan Palace. King Chen was also delighted to hear that, and he still maintained a warm smile on his face: "To each other, this king also wishes the third son his wish to be fulfilled."

The two raised their glasses at the same time and drank the fine wine in the glass, but a servant from outside stumbled in and shouted: "My lord, something is not right..."

"Why are you in such a panic!" Chen Wang waved his hand displeasedly to interrupt the music below, frowning and looking at the flustered attendant.

The man's face was pale, and he knelt down and reported intermittently: "My lord, there is a good news from the border, a great victory!" It was a great victory, but the man seemed to have died of his parents, "Ma Zongbing was brought down for questioning. He is about to be escorted to Beijing because he has bribed foreign enemies to embezzle military pay. There is no food shortage crisis in the Northland, and Prince Xiao personally asked about the situation of officials and hungry people in various counties, and took down many corrupt officials, winning the hearts of the people!"

"What?! How is it possible?!" Third Young Master Xiao panicked first, dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground, walked out from his seat and grabbed the attendant by the neck to make him repeat it.

There was an official accompanying the wine, seeing the appearance of the third young master Xiao, he couldn't help being slandered in his heart. Hearing the great victory at the border, as Prince Xiao's parent and son, he turned pale with panic instead of being honored. I can't wait to drag this unfilial son out and chop him up early.It's just that they are on the side of King Chen, and the situation is greatly contrary to expectations. Where did the accident happen?The situation in the capital is under their control. Where does the food in the North come from?Some people turned suspicious eyes on Third Young Master Xiao, could it be that he was just putting on a show in order to confuse their eyes and act secretly?

Even King Chen became suspicious. How could there be no food crisis in the Northland?Whether it is the third son Xiao or the nail inserted secretly in the Dingbei Palace, they all told him that the granary of the Palace has long been empty, and that the Xiao Palace cannot withstand a war at all. As long as there is a war at the border, the Xiao Palace will immediately fall into a situation of internal turmoil and foreign aggression.

At this moment, another person came in and sent a letter to Third Young Master Xiao. The Fourth Young Master was about to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. One was to celebrate the border victory, and the other was to discuss important border matters, so the third young master hurried back to prepare to enter the palace together.

Chen Wang's complexion changed a few times, seeing that the third son Xiao hadn't recovered, he sneered and said: "It seems that even the third son has misjudged, your good brother is not as critically ill as you expected and can't get up I'm afraid that since you walked out of Yanzhou City, you have fallen into someone else's trap, and the third son should go back and have a look quickly, and see off the guests!" Chen Wang left with his sleeves, and the third son Xiao recalled from those words After coming over, with the support of the servants, he stumbled and left Chen Wang's mansion.

In the other courtyard of Dingbei Prince's Mansion, waiting for the third son is the fourth son and his party who are ready to go. Surrounded by the crowd, the fourth son who is dying is the fourth son. After getting better, seeing the third son, the fourth son smiled and stepped forward and said: "Thanks to the help of the genius doctor found by the elder brother, the root of the disease has been eradicated now, and it is not impossible for the younger brother to return to normal. The third brother is Didn't you weep for your younger brother's joy? By the way, the father sent a letter to ask your younger brother to discuss with His Majesty the establishment of a trade market at the border, and the third elder brother entered the palace with his younger brother."

Third Young Master Xiao barely relied on the servants to support his body so he didn't fall down, but his flickering eyes and pale face fully exposed his heart. Jumping down, they all saw it in their eyes, instead of looking forward to a great victory at the border, it seemed that they were expecting the prince to suffer.

"I...I..." Thinking of what he did secretly in the eyes of his father, Third Young Master Xiao was terrified, closed his eyes, and fell down limply.

The corner of the fourth son's mouth raised a mocking arc, and he waved his hand: "The third brother is overworked with the affairs of the palace, and his body is overwhelmed. Let the doctor Lin treat the third brother well. The third brother can rest assured to recuperate in another hospital. The doctor Lin's medical skills are outstanding. The younger brother's body, which is not long in the world, can be saved, third brother, please relax."

Third Young Master Xiao only had despair in his heart.

"Let's enter the palace!" Fourth Young Master Xiao ordered.

There was joy in Wan's study as well, the border victory was exaggerated, and Wan Guangbai knew about it almost at the same time as Chen Wang.

"Good! Good! Great!" As if his family had won a battle, Wan Guangbai clapped his hands and applauded repeatedly.

On the contrary, Wan Qiushi was much calmer than his father, and his eldest brother Wan Qiuyu also returned to his original place with no less joy in his heart than his father: "This time, King Chen has become a villain in vain, and he wants to support our subordinates to suppress us. Master, now the wishful thinking is finally in vain, hmph, it’s true that you know people, you don’t know your heart, Wang Chen is such a despicable villain.” After raising food in secret, he and his father have been busy with the complicated affairs of suppressing the sidelines to appease the clansmen Among them, with Chen Wang's secret support, those collaterals couldn't wait to jump out to fight the main family, which made Wan Qiuyu secretly hate.

Wan Qiushi curled his lips and said: "Father, brother, I said that there is no need to pull those people who have different intentions. Don't they dislike our master's family for suppressing them so that they can't get ahead? Why don't we give up part of our Wan family's property?" Assign it to them, and see if they can succeed, and whether King Chen will win them over."

"This..." Wan Qiuyu hesitated.

In the end, Wan Guangbai made up his mind: "Jiu'er is right. The tree has many branches. It's better to remove those branches, so as to save those individuals from looking at our Wanjia's property with envy." Wan Guangbai also thought It's clear, it's impossible to hold everything in the palm of your hand. Instead of waiting for others to carve up the property of Wanjia, it's better to ask for it yourself. The owner only needs to hold a few key things in his hands, whether to advance or retreat. The power can be in your own hands, so you don't have to raise the heart of the villain.

"Father, you don't need to worry about the future situation of our Wan family. Didn't the fourth son send a letter saying that we will open a mutual market? Our Wan family still has a lot of useful places. Before the news spreads, we should quickly divide the irrelevant industries. "Wan Qiushi smiled when he thought of the news from the Fourth Young Master, and once again felt that the Fourth Young Master and Chen Wang are completely different people.

"Haha, Jiu'er is right, you have to flex your muscles to be a father, haha..."
