After the gloomy cannon fodder was reborn

Du Chengfeng was always satisfied with this disciple, and even had the idea of ​​marrying his daughter to him for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no such meaning between the two children.

He had never seen Du Ru'an being so inconsiderate, openly uttering such outrageous words in front of so many people—the servants were all waiting by his side.

Du Ru'an lowered his head, his pale face turned slightly sullen: "Ru'an knows his mistake."

Du Chengfeng thought that he had just come out of the imperial prison, and he would inevitably be hit in it. He sighed and said: "Ru'an, I know that you have been wronged this time. But you must be clear, what you have to do is not to blame His Majesty, but to find out who it is I'm plotting against you."

"That person even knows where your darkroom is and how to get in and out. You have to be extremely vigilant to prevent the next time you get caught, understand?"

There's no need to check, it's Xue Fuguang - the words swirled in Du Ru'an's mouth, and he swallowed them.

Father must not know that it is Xue Fuguang.

He said: "Father, Ru'an knows that he is wrong."

He is right.

"I won't say such treasonous words in the future, and I haven't blamed His Majesty."

Why should the royal family be so superior that everyone has to make concessions for them?

"If you've been in prison for too long, you're confused. Father, don't be offended."

He had never known so clearly what he wanted.

He wants to trim.

In order to repair brocade, anything can be compromised.

Since the crown prince wants to seize Xiujin, he will fight with the crown prince; since the imperial power is on his head, he will not respect the imperial power; since Xue Fuguang can help him, no matter how much he hates Xue Fuguang, he will cooperate with him.

Du Ru'an was quiet and bowed his head, the things in his eyes were overwhelming, the world was turned upside down.

On the third day after Du Ru'an was released from the prison, when Du Ruqing dragged her for a walk in the street, he received a note that was stuffed into his hand by a beggar.

He lowered his head and read it in a daze, then turned the hand and crushed the note into crumbs.

That night, a notebook was sent to the emperor's desk.

The emperor asked the chief eunuch who was close to him to read the scriptures, and suddenly heard Du Ruan's name, he raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow... let Du Ruan be reinstated and come to the court. For Gao Deshen, let a second-rank I have already given Gao He a lot of face when the official is in prison. In addition, I will move some of the things in the warehouse and reward Du Ru'an as a consolation."

The chief eunuch picked up a pen, wrote down the emperor's words, and turned around to order someone to deliver the decree.

When Xue Fuguang received this news, he was still sitting on the couch unable to move.

Mu Jianshu's wounds scabbed on the third day, he left his room and found a place to hide by himself.On the fifth day, he returned to his duties as a secret guard and stayed by Xue Fuguang's side.

Clearly the injury he suffered was much heavier than Xue Fuguang's, with such a recovery ability, Xue Fuguang was jealous and very angry at the same time.

His body is too disappointing.

Mu Jianshu stood by his side, seeing his uneasy expression, asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to go out?"

Xue Fuguang put down his pen: "Go, why not go?"

Du Ru'an has been out of prison for so long, he should go to congratulate him in person.

Mu Jianshu bent down and wanted to report him to the porch outside the door, but Xue Fuguang held his arm.

He called Shao Jing: "Go and ask the porter to prepare the carriage."

Now that Du Ru'an has figured it out, wouldn't it be bad if he didn't find something to do.

Mu Jianshu lowered his head, saw the light in his eyes, and avoided his eyes with red ears.

Xue Fuguang raised his eyebrows and reached out to touch his ears: "Why are your ears red?"

Mu Jianshu lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xue Fuguang, closed his mouth and was speechless.

The soft and cool fingertips pinched the hot earlobe, as if it could cool it down, but it became hotter and hotter, and the red color tended to spread.

Xue Fuguang stared at Mu Jianshu: "Why are your ears red?"

Mu Jian Shuzhang closed his lips, feeling that Xue Fuguang was too close to him, and couldn't help but retreat a little: "This subordinate is, is nervous, it's easy to be like this."

Shao Jing stepped over the threshold and came in, happily said: "My lord, the carriage is ready, where shall we go?"

Xue Fuguang withdrew his hand and said: "Go to Du Mansion and invite Miss Du to travel with me."

Mu Jianshu's eyes suddenly sank.

He reached out to hug Xue Fuguang.

This time Xue Fuguang didn't stop him.

The groom drove to Du's mansion.

Du Ruqing is very easy to date, and she is not afraid that she will go out with a foreigner and spread rumors that are not good for her reputation.

He even boarded Xue Fuguang's carriage generously.

As soon as she got in the car, she saw Mu Jianshu and was curious: "This is?"

Xue Fuguang: "My guard."

Du Ruqing said oh, she understood very well.Xue Fuguang came in with a lot of troubles, and it was normal to have a guard with him.

She didn't notice the way the guard looked at her, she sat down on one side, and looked at Xue Fuguang's leg: "I heard at home that your leg was injured, and it was said that the injury was very serious, and you were bedridden every day, and you didn't go to the Imperial Academy... How can you come out now?"

Xue Fuguang nodded: "That's true. But my elder brother is busy every day recently, and my father doesn't have time to take care of me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Du Ruqing asked happily: "What about Sister Wanxi? Does she not care about you? Or is there something I don't have time to care about you?"

"My elder sister..." Xue Fuguang paused, "I went out with Ms. Zuo."

Du Ruqing was shocked for a moment, realized that Xue Fuguang in front of her didn't know anything, and hurriedly put her expression back together, cleared her throat, "Okay. Then how do you remember to find me?"

Xue Fuguang smiled, and lied with ease: "I have a bad reputation, and there is no one else except you and I who have a good relationship."

This made Du Ruqing very happy, and she patted herself on the chest very boldly: "How can we say that we both grew up together, you realized earlier that those cronies are unreliable, so how could you be so notorious like you are now?" You're very welcome.

"But you've told me so. As a friend, I'm naturally obliged to help you. Don't worry, I'll speak nice things about you in front of others in the future!"

Xue Fuguang sipped his tea and laughed: "Thank you in advance. Tell me what you want to eat."

Du Ruqing's eyes lit up immediately!

Xue Fuguang is a rich master, not stingy like her father.

She was not polite at all: "Then go to Zuixian Tower, I'll go and taste everything I haven't eaten before!"

I know, she is the daughter of the chief assistant's family, I don't know what kind of city gate school captain's family I think she is, I have never seen anything.

Xue Fuguang responded and continued to sip his tea with his head down, seemingly casually asking: "Your elder brother has been released from prison, and now he is back in office. Congratulations."

When Du Ru'an was mentioned, Du Ruqing's expression was weird for a moment, and she suddenly asked Xue Fuguang: "I heard from my father that you visited my brother in prison before?"

Xue Fuguang: "Yes."

She thought for a moment, then asked, "Don't you dislike my brother?"

Xue Fuguang shook his head: "It's not that unhappy. If you don't believe me, you can ask your brother. Compared with other people in Beijing, we have a good relationship."

Where would Du Ruqing ask her brother?

Even if asked, Du Ru'an would definitely not tell her.

...Forget it, worrying about the conflict between her brother and Xue Fuguang is better than worrying that Xue Fuguang will suffer in her brother's hands.After all her brother is so smart, Xue Fuguang can even lie to his cronies.

Xue Fuguang asked again: "What is the relationship between your brother and General Qin's youngest son?"

Du Ruqing: "Why are you asking this? I've only met you a few times. They are very strangers, so I can't talk about their relationship."

Xue Fuguang laughed, with a bright gleam at the end of his long and narrow eyes: "General Qin is the only person in Jingguo who can be as famous as my brother, I'm just curious."

When Xue Hongwen was mentioned, Du Ruqing's cheeks flushed suddenly, and she whispered: "How can it be compared? General Qin's eldest son is older than Brother Hongwen. Brother Hongwen is as famous as him at this age, so he is naturally stronger than General Qin. "

Her attitude caused Xue Fuguang to stare strangely.

...It turns out that Du Ruqing likes his elder brother?

Du Ruqing's words are indeed a good person.

It's a pity that there is Du Ru'an as the elder brother.

Xue Fuguang no longer took the initiative to ask questions, and Du Ruqing chatted alone for the rest of the time.The joy she said alone would only get Xue Fuguang's response from time to time, and it was not boring.

At sunset, Xue Fuguang sent the man back.

Another carriage rattled up to the door.

It's Du Ru'an.

Xue Fuguang opened the curtain, and greeted him with a smile: "Congratulations to Du Yuan Zuo Guan on his reinstatement."

Du Ruan stared at him with a gentle expression on his face, and said to Du Ruqing: "Don't wait for me, you go in, I'll have a few words with Shizi."

Du Ru'an looked at Xue Fuguang from the side of the car: "I don't know if your son's words mean anything?"

Xue Fuguang smiled very nicely: "That depends on whether the courtyard left has figured out what he wants."

Du Ruan affirmed: "Xiu Jin."

"That's good." The smile in Xue Fuguang's eyes was shining brightly, like a gorgeous flower that wants to eat someone, "Du Yuanzuo and I each have to produce our own proofs, so we can continue talking, can't we?"

Du Ru'an nodded: "I will do what I have to do, I hope you will not let me down."

After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the Du mansion.

Xue Fuguang lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to drive back to the palace.

He was in a good mood, and when he felt a gaze, he tilted his head to look, and met Shang Mu Jianshu's eyes that were too late to restrain himself.

Unusually dark.

Xue Fuguang frowned slightly, not very surprised.

It was only the hostility that the spies of the enemy country should have had towards Du Ruan.

Mu Jianshu looked friendly in front of him, but he knew that someone who could be a spy for many years would not be a kind person.

Maybe he was always thinking about how to slaughter the whole Yasukuni court.

He raised his arms, resting his chin.The wide cuffs slipped off, revealing a slender white arm, dazzling white in the dim carriage.

A rambling voice floated in Mu Jianshu's ear: "Our goals are the same."

Mu Jianshu has already used a completely frank attitude. Although the two did not bring this matter to the light, they both know it well.

At this moment when Xue Fuguang suddenly mentioned it, Mu Jianshu subconsciously glanced at Shao Jing who was beside him.

Shao Jing was dumbfounded by this glance.

What does it have to do with him?

Mu Jianshu was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The subordinate's life belongs to the master. Whatever the master wants to do, the subordinate... will do it for the master."

Xue Fuguang knew that Mu Jianshu had finally been completely drawn into his camp.He was in a happy mood, so he did not hesitate to make some promises to Mu Jianshu.The hand supporting the chin was changed, and he leaned on the soft pillow and responded lazily: "Yes. So, you can ask for a reward. You can tell me whatever you want."

As soon as he spoke, Mu Jianshu's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling, and his voice became a little hoarse: "Dare to ask the master, really... you can do whatever you want?"

Xue Fuguang thought about it for a while, raised his hand and pulled out the jade hairpin used to fix his hair, and handed it to Mu Jianshu: "Take it, use it as a token. When you think about what you want, give me the hairpin. When my goal is achieved... ...I should be able to give you whatever you want."

Pull down the Ming family, and he will ascend the throne himself.

So what if Xiu Jin is protected by a plot?

At that time, he will have the authority of the world in his hands, no matter how the plot changes, there is nothing he can do about it.

Everyone will be the one who protects the Xue family, pulls down the crown prince, and destroys Ming's sword.

Xue Fuguang's eyes unconsciously revealed a gloomy coldness, followed by burning ambition.

He will never be relieved if he does not climb to the highest position.

Mu Jianshu stretched out his hand, took the hairpin, firmly and carefully held it in his hand, and put it into his bosom.

The appearance of Xue Fuguang fell into his eyes, making his blood slightly hot.

You can do whatever you want... This is what Shi Zi personally promised.

After more than half a month of searching for the assassin in Kyoto, he was finally caught.

Three people.

They are all spies from the Ying dynasty.

The government and the public were shocked, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came forward one after another, and Yingchao had to pay the price for this matter.

The Ying Dynasty was adjacent to Yasukuni, and there were many conflicts between the two countries, which is no longer a rare thing.

It's just that the Xiu clan in the north of Jingguo is watching, and the Qiang people in the northwest are always ready to take a bite. The Ying Dynasty and Jingguo are both great powers in the world, with comparable strength, and even the Ying Dynasty is slightly superior, so there are very few wars between the two countries.

There are also small countries coveting in the south of Ying.

As a result, the two sides are at a stalemate, maintaining a delicate balance.

No one expected that the spies would be so indignant.

The emperor had a headache.

The prince was seriously injured, so he was naturally very angry.

But regarding the secret spying, Ying Chao also had Yasukuni's handle.

More importantly, the banditry in Yasukuni is serious now, and there are internal and external troubles. It is not wise to attack Ying Dynasty rashly and start a war.

At least, this war can't start until the bandits in Dingzhou are wiped out.

The emperor's intentions were revealed, and the courtiers immediately went up to request a general candidate for the extermination of the bandits in Dingzhou.

The attention of the civil and military forces of the ruling and opposition parties immediately changed from initiating a war to who is the general who is suitable to go to Dingzhou.

Among today's generals, only Qin Wuyun and Xue Hongwen can be called God of War.

One guarded the north to keep the Xiu clan from intruding, and the other guarded the northwest so that the Qiang people would not dare to offend them.No one can erase the role these two played in Yasukuni.

But the bandits in Dingzhou are very troublesome, which is different from the border guards.

The two are also good at marching and fighting in different ways, so it's hard to tell who is better at subduing the Dingzhou bandits.

The people in the court quarreled and quarreled all day, but they failed to reach a conclusion.

When the undercurrent in the court was surging, Du Ruan lowered his head, stood behind the chief assistant, and slightly raised his eyes to glance at Xue Hongwen.

After coming down to court, Xue Hongwen did not return to his residence, but went to the palace.

The two mansions are close to each other, so he also returns to the palace most of the time.

But this time the destination was very clear, and he ran to Prince Gong's study.

Xue Hongwen is the eldest son in the family, especially after the death of his mother, Xue Wanxi and Xue Fuguang, he has become more and more stable, and he and Prince Gong are not like father and son, but more and more like colleagues.

He seldom approached Prince Gong's study, and rarely talked about the battlefield with him.

This sudden arrival surprised even Prince Gong.

Xue Hongwen entered the study and ordered his guards to guard the courtyard and not allow anyone to approach.

Seeing his serious expression, Prince Gong frowned and asked, "What makes you look so serious?"

Xue Hongwen said calmly: "The court and the Central Committee have decided on the state affairs."

Prince Gong frowned: "Your Majesty wants you to go?"

Prince Gong is very clear about the difficulty of Dingzhou.

But this should not be enough for Xue Hongwen to break into his study like this and surround his yard.

Sure enough, Xue Hongwen shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet, but [-]% of the officials in the court think that it is most appropriate for General Qin to go."

These words made Prince Gong stunned for a while.

He knows what's going on.

The incident of bandits in Dingzhou had been going on for more than half a year, and the candidate could not be decided for a long time. However, the emperor and the crown prince both wanted Xue Hongwen to go.But with the Xiu Clan fighting, they still need to consider it.

Now that the arrow is on the string, and there is a reason, the group of people in the court actually came against the emperor's will?

Seeing that Prince Gong understood the crux of the problem, Xue Hongwen continued: "The first person to speak was Du Ru'an."

He said: "After Du Ru'an spoke, the rest of the courtiers followed his words and proposed to General Qin. There are also a few veteran officials who seldom speak in court, and this time they seldom open their mouths, pointing at General Qin."

Who doesn't know that Du Ru'an is a close minister of the emperor?

Sitting on the left seat of the second-rank courtyard at a young age, he is the best at guessing the Sacred Heart.

Because of this, the emperor especially liked him.It is not an exaggeration to call him the emperor's megaphone.

The father and son looked at each other silently.

After a while, Prince Gong sighed and sat back in the grand master's chair, and said the manipulator's name: "Fu Guang."

Xue Hongwen pursed his lips: "From the past few days, he has been very sensitive about me and the bandit suppression in Dingzhou. When Du Ruan was in prison, no one went there, but he went to see Du Ruan... He had a bad relationship with Du Ruan in the past. The Son of Heaven is a close minister, he knows that the Xue family has nothing to do with it."

He paused, and continued: "These days, when I searched for assassins, I also found some of Ah Ru's actions."

Xue Fuguang used to obey his family and never had any relationship with those powerful officials.This is also the reason why he made a bunch of cronies, and Prince Gong scolded him, but didn't really stop him.

But right now, he has clearly crossed this line, and even revealed a bit of the emperor's most taboo thoughts.

Xue Hongwen felt that looking at his grown-up brother under his nose seemed to exceed his cognition overnight: "He shouldn't, and can't have this ability."

"Father, I want to know what happened to Ah Ru in Fengyue Tower that day."

He asked Xue Wanxi, but Xue Wanxi didn't tell him.

Xue Fuguang naturally doesn't know how to do it.

But the source of all problems is from here.

Prince Gong looked at his eldest son, his voice seemed to be full of vicissitudes: "Your brother was wronged outside."

Xue Hongwen was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with worry: "I know. Since he came back from suffering last time, his temperament has changed a lot. He was not like this before."

Prince Gong sighed, and told Xue Hongwen about the relationship between Xue Fuguang's traditional Chinese medicine and the prince: "I don't know how the Xue family offended that little bastard of the Ming family, and wanted to use such insidious methods. Fuguang is afraid that you will be implicated by him. It has been gloomy since that day. Although I tried my best to cover it up, this king still doesn't know what he looks like?"

Xue Fuguang had no mother since he was a child, and was weak and sick.

Since he was very young, Prince Gong has been worried every day that he will not be able to support him.

Now the youngest son who was raised with great difficulty was greatly wronged outside, and even almost died.After escaping from the dead, her temperament changed drastically.

He believed that he did not feel sorry for the Ming royal family at all, and his children were also loyal to the royal family, and even deliberately kept a distance from them in order not to make the royal family suspicious.

What I got was this result.

Xue Hongwen's face was gloomy and he remained silent, but his thoughts were not necessarily less than that of Prince Gong.

Xue Fuguang was brought up by him.

He used to be such a well-behaved and obedient child that Xue Hongwen never even gave up on scolding him.

No one can make him suffer this kind of grievance.

The father and son were silent for a while, and Prince Gong said in a deep voice: "No matter what he looks like, he is still a child of our Xue family. Even if he doesn't say anything about his grievances, this king knows about it. In the past, this king always thought that it would be good to be loyal to the emperor, and he would not It will be safe for a lifetime, and the Xue family will be peaceful, but the Ming family is deceiving too much! In the past, Jingguo was stepped on by this king's iron cavalry, and now it is guarded by this king's son. The Ming family can sit on the throne, and my Xue family can even sit on it!"

……

Xue Fuguang is not an official, unless there is a major event, it is difficult to know the movement of the court.

Du Ru'an's letter was sent into his hands, and he couldn't help sneering when he learned that the emperor had his brother's idea on Dingzhou.

It's really worthy of being father and son with the crown prince, even their thoughts are exactly the same.

Du Ru'an used this incident to prove that he had indeed stepped on Xue Fuguang's needs.

However, it is impossible for General Qin to go to Dingzhou, this job will only go down, and it will fall on the military officers other than his brother and General Qin.

Maybe...he could use it.

Xue Fuguang thought about it all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Du Ru'an was hit by a young eunuch on the official road in the palace, holding a note in his hand.

After repeatedly pleading guilty, the little eunuch ran away in a hurry.

Du Ru'an glanced at the back of the little eunuch, somewhat surprised.

It seems that he really underestimated Xue Fuguang too much in the past, even in this palace there are people from him.

After reading the note, Du Ru'an held the paper in his palm, crushed it into fine powder little by little, and sprinkled it on the side of the road. Even the scum was blown away by the wind without a trace.

It was another day of endless quarrels about Dingzhou in the court hall.

Xue Hongwen and Qin Wuyun were tied for the first rank of military generals, one old and one young, their eyes downcast in a tacit understanding without saying a word.

Neither of them intends to intervene in this matter.

Qin Wuyun was even more reliable, and given his age, the hard battle in Dingzhou would not be his turn anyway.

The strange thing is that Du Ru'an, who was the first to speak out yesterday, was like them today, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, so that the emperor couldn't help but look at him frequently.

The quarrel in the hall intensified, the emperor frowned and stopped them, pointing out Du Ru'an: "What do you think of Du Aiqing?"

Everyone's eyes shifted to Du Ru'an, wanting to see if he would speak astonishingly as yesterday.

Du Ru'an straightened his posture, took a step towards the center of the courtiers, and said respectfully: "My minister thinks that although the bandits from Dingzhou are called bandits, they are still the people of our Jing Kingdom. Well, but it is the best policy to have General Xue escort the civil servants who persuaded him to surrender, so that kindness and power can be combined."
