The general's wife is sick

Yan Bao left the room, Xiong Zhengli still had a complex smile on his face until the door closed.

The sound of footsteps gradually drifted away, and he pricked up his ears and held his breath to listen quietly. The door of the next room was pushed open, and Xiong Zhengli ran away in an instant, fisting with both hands and pounding on the bed, "Why should I care whether the twisted melon is sweet or not? I only care if the melon is mine!"

"What's the difference? Goodbye, everything will be fine! What a bad idea did the elder brother come up with!" After venting his anger, Xiong Zhengli took out a letter from his body, which was sent by Xiong Jinghai, and said angrily to the letter, "He hopes that I will get better, Just to separate from me!"

The dragon and phoenix danced on the letter paper, "Crossing the sea, taking advantage of the fire, creating something out of nothing, retreating to advance, playing hard to catch, turning against customers, stealing the old warehouse, and beauties." These strategies are followed by detailed explanations and case studies.

Xiong Zhengli took out a charcoal pencil and marked on retreat as advance and anti-guest, "Although the idea is bad, it has some effects... Playing hard to get, a beauty trick..."

Ji Liu stared dumbfounded at Xiong Jinghai's letter for Xiong Zhengli, "You actually taught him to use 36 tricks to do these things?"

Xiong Jinghai is worthy of being a general who is good at transporting troops. His military talent is really extraordinary. He said to Ji Liu excitedly, "These strategies are so incisive, no matter where they are used, they will have miraculous effects!"

"Of course I know the magic of these schemes, but you act like this, isn't it a bit..."

Ji Liu suddenly couldn't express his thoughts accurately, just because in the relationship between Xiong Zhengli and Yan Bao, he didn't know who he should help, unlike Xiong Jinghai, who stood firm and unwavering.

Xiong Jinghai hugged him by the waist, "Yan Bao has never endured hardship, and he has been doted on in the mansion, so he is a bit simple, but I also made it clear to A Li in the letter, don't bully too hard. Don't worry, Since I'm your close friend, I will definitely look after Ali, and besides, Ali is an adult, and he has a sense of propriety in doing things."

Ji Liu snorted twice, Xiong Zhengli has a sense of measure?

I'm afraid he doesn't know how to write the words properly!

Ji Liu predicted things like a god, and Xiong Zhengli's reunion and separation immediately made Yan Bao let go of his inner guard. There was a rare atmosphere of peaceful coexistence between the two. Just eat at the same table.

Xiong Zhengli looked at Yan Bao's well-behaved appearance, and his heart was full of remorse. If he hadn't treated Yan Bao in an extreme way, maybe he and Yan Bao would always get along like this.

But now, all Yan Bao's submissive appearance comes from his one sentence of separation.

An unspeakable feeling filled his heart, and the word remorse was not enough to cover Xiong Zhengli's thoughts at all. The meal he ate was bland and tasteless. Yan Bao found that he had lost his appetite, so he said, "You need to use more when you are sick. , eat enough to get better quickly.”

"..."

With a powerful blow, Xiong Zhengli now only feels that Yan Bao's care and love for him all stem from his desire to be separated from him.

Wanting him to get better, Xiong Zhengli lowered his eyes.

no way!

He used to be able to linger on the sick bed for many years, and he can do it now!

Yan Bao didn't know that Xiong Zhengli had already made up his mind to fight to the death with himself, he only hoped to be free.

When Xiong Zhengli and Yan Bao were fighting wits and courage, the situation in the capital gradually changed.

On that day, after Emperor Xuande came down to court, he left Zhao Yongnian in Shangqing Pavilion.

After Prime Minister Zhao left the Shangqing Pavilion, he knelt down at the gate of the hall, and there was an uproar inside and outside the palace for a while.

Emperor Xuande's face was gloomy, he just mentioned that the world is peaceful recently, and there is no major incident happening inside or outside the capital, Zhao Yongnian heard him beating him, and immediately told him that he was old and could not bear the heavy business with his nose and tears , Want to retire from old age and return home.

God knows how much Emperor Xuande wished that he could agree without hesitation. Such a great opportunity was in front of him, but he couldn't do it.

The Empress Dowager is a towering tree, and Zhao Yongnian is the strongest branch on the Empress Dowager's tree. If he can't be uprooted, he can't move at all.

Emperor Xuande had no choice but to go out of the palace gate in person, helped Zhao Yongnian up with his own hands, and persuaded him well, "The prime minister is the pillar of the country, and the court needs a prime minister."

After repeated refusals, Zhao Yongnian was overwhelmed with gratitude, and vowed to do his best for the emperor and the court.

The monarch and his ministers reconciled as before, and Emperor Xuande ordered Shen Lin to prepare a hundred taels of gold to comfort him.

When Nie Xudong arrived, Zhao Yongnian had already left the palace gate with the gold rewarded by Emperor Xuande.

The two left together, and Emperor Xuande listened to Shen Lin's report, and smiled coldly, "The two of them are working together and working together."

Shen Lin persuaded, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Rui may have just met the Prime Minister by chance, and did not..."

Emperor Xuande interrupted him, "My son has grown up, and he has more thoughts."

It must be that Zhao Yongnian just knelt down outside the Shangqing Pavilion when Nie Xudong received the news and came from Prince Rui's Mansion. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the two happened to meet when Zhao Yongnian was leaving the palace.Among the adult princes in the harem, only Nie Xudong was crowned king. Presumably, he has done a lot of tricks in private over the years.

Even Shen Lin can see that King Rui's ambition is gradually expanding, and now he can hold back, and he knows how to do it on the surface, and I'm afraid that at some point, His Highness King Rui will lose this respect. Take the road of no return.

The Empress accompanied the Empress Dowager to feed the fish in the Palace of Compassion. When she heard that Zhao Yongnian was about to resign and return to her hometown, the Empress Dowager could not help but sigh, "It is inevitable that there will be differences between the monarch and his ministers, but the prime minister is dedicated to serving the country, loyal to the emperor and loving the people, which is really rare in the court." For the talented person, since the emperor gave him a hundred taels of gold, the Ai family will give him a thousand acres of fertile land, so that Prime Minister Wei will work hard for the affairs of the country."

Before Zhao Yongnian and King Rui's carriages arrived at the mansion, the deed of a thousand acres of fertile land bestowed by the Empress Dowager was sent to the Prime Minister's mansion first.

Just for Zhao Yongnian's kneeling outside the Shangqing Pavilion, he won a hundred taels of gold and thousands of acres of fertile land. All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a new understanding of the degree to which Zhao Yongnian's influence was extremely favored.

Although they did not dare to enter the mansion openly because of Emperor Xuande's face, but before the ceremony arrived, the gift lists from various mansions entered the prime minister's mansion like a stream of water.

Nie Xudong was sitting on the chair at the front of the flower hall, Zhao Yongnian was sitting next to him, while the two were drinking tea, they heard the servants kept reporting the gift list of Lord XX, Nie Xudong laughed, "The prime minister is really favored by the emperor and the empress dowager! "

Zhao Yongnian raised his hand and bowed to Dongfang, "The kindness of the queen mother and the emperor can only be repaid after dying!"

The two are well aware of each other's purpose, and some things don't need to be said on the table.

Emperor Xuande knew all about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was completely calm at this time, and took a pen to write a large "moving" character on Longan's rice paper.

Princess Guangyang brought Hong Yan into the temple to pray for blessings. Before the new year's festival, they had to pray for Xiong Feng and Xiong Jinghai, who had been fighting all the year round, as well as Ji Liu and their three children who were specially authorized by the emperor to accompany the army this year.

As the hostess of the General's Mansion, Princess Guangyang needs to take care of all aspects, just as she needs to create an undisturbed environment for what Xiong Zhengidean is doing.

In the early morning, bathed in the morning light of the temple, on the snowy ground of bluestone slabs, amidst the gray tiles and white walls, Princess Guangyang appeared like a fairy in white clothes and silver threads.

Hong Yan took catkins and looked at such a beautiful and charming Princess Guangyang, and her breath was suffocated. This kind of temperament precipitation, noble and elegant, graceful and generous appearance is not something every woman possesses.

The etiquette and rules of the Tian family, the strict education and careful upbringing since childhood, the princesses they create are all extravagant and beautiful...

"The temple is no better than the mansion. If there is something missing, just tell mother. How can you sleep these few days?" Princess Guangyang took Hong Yan's hand and asked carefully.

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Everything is fine. Listening to Master chanting scriptures and praying for blessings with mother these few days, I feel my heart suddenly calm down. The sound of wooden fish echoing in my ears cleanses my soul, and I feel quite enlightened about the past."

Hong Yan is dignified and upright, she is a lady of everyone, as long as she thinks, every sentence she speaks can be realistic and comfortable, and the name of a talented woman in the capital is not a good-looking one.

"You are a good person." Princess Guangyang patted the back of her hand, "Your father and your eldest brother and sister-in-law are not with mother all year round, and mother can't help much. She can only do her part to pray for them. That's fine."

Hong Yan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, mother."

The capital city is full of wind and clouds, and it is difficult to tell whether it is a human or a ghost. In the house on the outskirts of the capital, abandoning all distracting thoughts, Xiong Zhengli is reading a book, and coughing can be heard from time to time.

Nanny Lin originally took care of Xiong Zhengli, but Yan Bao couldn't do the job of boiling medicine, so when Nanny Lin was brewing medicine, Yan Bao could only stay by Xiong Zhengli's side.

"You are still sick, and you finally stopped having a fever, so don't read any more, you should have a good rest." Yan Bao was very worried that his health would not recover.

Xiong Zhengli smiled brightly, his facial features were delicate and moving, "If you don't read books, you will be bored when you are sick."

"Then get some sleep and the time will pass faster."

Xiong Zhengli shook his head slowly, his voice was lonely mixed with a trace of silence, "I don't want to sleep anymore. In the past years, I was very afraid that I would not wake up, and I dared not fall asleep in the middle of the night, and I dared not extinguish the candle in the room. , I am afraid that the candle will not be lit again after it is extinguished."

"I used to think that way too." This sentence came to Yan Bao's heart. When he was poisoned by Wang Xin, he always thought that his body was weak, and he also thought that one day he would fall asleep. This kind of frightened mood No one will understand unless they have experienced it. "Then you still need to read the other books. I have a lot of books here."

After selling miserably, the emotional card had an effect. Seeing Yan Bao's soft heart, Xiong Zhengli hit the snake with the stick, "It's not necessary. If it is possible, I would like to talk to you even more."

Yan Bao immediately became vigilant, "The New Year's Eve is approaching, and there are many affairs in the house. Besides, Nanny Lin should have boiled the medicine. I'll go and have a look."

Seeing Yan Bao leave, Xiong Zhengli closed the book, his room has been moved to the next door to Yan Bao, everything around him has changed, he can't see Yan Bao's letter and can't smell his smell, I want to say more In a word, it made him so vigilant.

Xiong Zhengli couldn't help but ponder. If this continues, he may not be able to achieve the result he wants.

So, in the middle of the night, Xiong Zhengli had a fever again.

Nanny Lin hurriedly knocked on Yan Bao's door, "Young master, my uncle is getting hot again! Cooling down with a cloth towel won't help at all. Please look at my uncle, my mother has sent someone to call for a doctor. There is still medicine, I will fry it and send it to you!"
