What about the soft and cute bamboo horse I am a freshman?

"Going to the northern border is an opportunity I gave him," Xu Zhang closed his eyes and said slowly, "He is my relative, and I don't want to doubt him. So I gave him this opportunity. Because I also cherish He, that's why I chose to give you the position of national teacher, instead of supporting others. You are his destiny, and he grew up with him, and we have a deep relationship, so I believe in you, even if you take it With this power, it is the best for him and the current situation, unless..." Xu Zhang paused, and said with deep meaning, "Unless he really has a plan, this plan is not even yours. Let go."

Jin Shi clenched his hands tightly, and he said to Xu Zhang: "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. There are other ways to prove that Liang Fang has no dissent, but this trip is absolutely impossible. He hasn't fully recovered, if he goes over there now...to the north, catches up with the frozen period, he will...he will..."

Jinshi said the back, a little trembling and unable to continue.

Xu Zhang regained his gentle face, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder: "I remember, you said that you wanted to go to the northern border to find the traces left by Yuan Jiuyao, maybe Yuan Jiuyao is still alive."

Jin Shi's body froze.

"Then let Liang Fang go there. He is familiar with the terrain of the northern border and the people there. He can get twice the result with half the effort. If you rush over there now..." Xu Zhang smiled, "I'm afraid, You even have to recognize the sheriff of Qinya Eleven City?"

Jinshi knew that every sentence Xu Zhang said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all, but he was still unwilling to say: "Your Majesty, please take pity on Liang Fang, his body really can't bear it! You... don't you think so?" Do you want to see him buried in the north?"

Xu Zhang's face was serious: "What are you talking about! What era do you think this is? The river is clean and the world is peaceful! The new mountains and rivers are standing there! Lan An is also dead, and Mo Ronghe is probably busy Fight for power with Mo Rongying! What danger is there in the northern border now?"

"The weather over there..."

"Weather?" Xu Zhang snorted coldly, "No matter how bad the weather is now, can it be as bad as when I was in the Qinya Mountains? Besides, now that I'm in the capital, as long as you take good care of the Tuzhen Division, no one can stop it." Liang Fang's accompanying supplies! But..." He paused, and there was something in his words, "If you are not in this position, then there is no guarantee that someone will replace you, so Liang Fang may not be able to approve the money for this supply. "

It turns out...it turns out he had this idea.

Jinshi felt cold all over his body.

Xu Zhang sent the weak Liang Fang to the northern border. Liang Fang was bound by the formation contract and could not disobey him in this kind of thing. In the capital, he used Liang Fang's supplies to restrain Jinshi from taking the position of the national teacher Well, as long as he has this relationship, he doesn't have to worry about Jinshi leaving the capital at all.

No matter Jinshi or Yuanchu, they are all casual, they don't care about fame and wealth, they can live a life like a wild crane.

But Xu Zhang needed them to be loyal to Da Mu, so he coerced and lured them to make these two nine Yaos work for the court.

"Jin Shi," Xu Zhang sat back to his original seat, he looked at Jin Shi's expression, with a gentle smile on his face, "Go back and think about it, and when you understand it, go to the Tuzhen Division to take over Liang Fang's job."

Jin Shi closed his eyes, kowtowed to Xu Zhang, tried to keep his voice steady, and said, "Minister, obey the order."

Xu Zhang watched with satisfaction as Jinshi left in a trance, the little eunuch came in and beckoned people to clean up the house, and the things on the imperial case were quickly put back in order.

Xu Zhang looked at the little eunuch who had picked up the memorial and put it in front of him, and asked, "Are you wondering why I insist on keeping Jinshi in the capital?"

The little eunuch looked at his nose and mouth, flatteringly said: "Your Majesty is free to judge."

"Yingduan," Xu Zhang smacked these two words twice, he nodded to the little eunuch and said, "Go down, you don't need to wait for the time being."

The little eunuch froze, then bowed and retreated.

Seeing the figure of the little eunuch, Xu Zhang shook his head and sighed, "You can tell right away if you're really clever or not."

Then he narrowed his eyes to look at the light coming in from the door, and murmured: "As long as Da Mu makes another serious Jiuyao, I will not let these people live until now. But—"

Xu Zhang suddenly smiled nervously: "Soon, there will be no Jiuyao in this world. There will also be no... any array masters."

Jin Shi returned to the Department of Painting Array in a daze. He sat on a chair in the inner room of Chengjing Garden. This is where Liang Fang often sat. .

But he also knew that even if he followed the formation, he would not be able to find Liang Fang.

No, Jinshi thought, it can't go on like this.

He got up and took the map hanging on the back. This map is the overall map of Da Mu, and the location of the teleportation point is marked on it. Jinshi picked up the pen and began to calculate the time and the situation of the teleportation point.

"Liang Fang will probably arrive in Qing Town tomorrow," Jin Shi counted the days, "If we can stop him here..."

"Master Yuan." A voice called out from outside the door.

Jin Shi was a little stunned, the "Master Yuan" made him a little confused whether he was calling him or calling Yuan Chu.

"Yuan Youshi." The voice continued to ask, "Are you in there?"

Yuan Youshi... Jinshi smiled wryly, yes, now he is the only one with the surname "Yuan".

He said loudly, "Come in."

The man pushed the door open, and Jin Shi was taken aback. It was Lu Nianli, and behind Lu Nianli... Liu Song and Lu Niannian were following him?

He looked at them, both of them looked haggard, with blue stubble on their mouths.Lu Niannian's complexion was fine, but the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed.

"You..." Jinshi hesitated, "You two have allowed you to come out?"

Liu Song and Lu Nianli nodded, but Lu Niannian said helplessly, "The matter is settled, Prince Beicheng has gone back, so naturally there is nothing to hold them back."

Jinshi was a little surprised. Why did Lu Nianli and Liu Song, who usually don't say tit for tat but can't see each other, get along so well?Is it because the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law is about to become?

Lu Nianli closed the doors, Liu Song moved two chairs and placed them on the opposite side of the desk, and Lu Nianli seemed to be looking for something at the door.

"Here...is there any secret formation?" Lu Nianli asked after searching for a long time.

Lu Niannian sighed, shook his head, and pointed to a small formation slightly above the door frame: "You said that you have been in the painting formation department for so long and this kind of thing..."

"Okay, okay, I get it, sister," Lu Nianli begged for mercy, "Let's talk about the business first, let's talk about the business."

Lu Nianli activated the formation, and Liu Song's third chair was also in place.

"You are..."

"The national teacher has gone to the northern border," Liu Song said with a serious expression, "I left early in the morning, and only brought a team of Northern Wolf Guards and two Jinyin Painted Array Masters. The two Jinyin Painted Array Masters are from the Chen family. This person is a newcomer this year, and he didn't participate in the competition, so His Majesty directly sealed him with a golden seal and forced him into the Bei Ya."

Jin Shi was taken aback: "The Chen family? The imperial seal?"

Good fellow, it turned out that he was not the only one who was sealed by the imperial seal, but he remembered the discussions of those people in the teahouse back then. It seems that his imperial seal magic brush and imperial seal Jiuyao were all acting as shields for others.

"It's from the natal family of His Majesty's favorite concubine, Chen Yanguo."

Jin Shi frowned: "This person... her natal family..."

"Chen Yanguo's natal family was originally a tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and they began to provide Pingfeng, a vegetarian merchant, to the palace about 20 years ago." Lu Nianli said, "A few years ago, they donated an official to their son, and then one year when they sent tea, The daughter of the Chen family, Chen Yanguo, came to the palace to serve tea, was favored by His Majesty, and was brought into the harem, and later she was very favored, she was still a concubine during the Chinese New Year, and later in April, she was found to be pregnant and made a concubine."

Jinshi has never cared about these harem affairs and government affairs. In his opinion, these intrigues are unnecessary, because he is a master of array painting, and he speaks with strength. He always thinks that these twists and turns are unnecessary.

"I remember..." Jinshi said with some doubts, "The current queen..."

"The current empress is the concubine of your majesty when he was the crown prince," Liu Song said, "it was chosen by the queen mother for your majesty. She has a very good relationship with the queen mother, but she has not been pregnant for many years."

The empress of the empress dowager's lineage has not been pregnant for many years, and the new favorite concubine has an heir, so she wants to come to the new concubine's family...

"So..." Jin Shi suddenly understood, "Your Majesty treats Liang... the national teacher..."

Is it to clean up the influence of the queen mother and queen, and support the newcomers to the top?

Jin Shi looked at Lu Niannian, and he suddenly understood that the Queen Mother's promise of marriage to Liang Fang and Lu Niannian during the New Year was probably not only because she felt sorry for Liang Fang, but also because the Queen Mother, who only had one nephew in the court, wanted to win over the prime minister, leaving only Liang Fang Fang's alone National Teacher's Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion can form forces and stand more firmly in the court.

But Liang Fanghe...

Lu Niannian smiled gently at Jinshi: "Actually, if Afang hadn't rejected the queen mother, I would have rejected him too. He already has someone he likes, so why not me."

Liu Song held Lu Niannian's hand.

Lu Nianli gave a "tsk" in disapproval, his disgust was palpable.

"Then...you come today..."

"We heard that you went to the palace to face the saint." Liu Song said, "Are you going to ask His Majesty to call back the national teacher?"

Jin Shi bit his lip and nodded.

Liu Song took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Jin Shi: "This is a letter from the national teacher to the government of Zhen Guo."

Jin Shi looked at the letter, his heart trembled, he stretched out his hand, and unfolded the letter paper.

After reading the letter at a glance, he raised his head in disbelief: "Liang Fang...he is going..."

Merong He Beicheng proclaimed himself emperor, announced that Beicheng would leave the kingdom of Damu and return to the Beicheng Empire, and expelled the officials stationed by Damu from Beicheng.

The troops stationed in the northern border changed, and Liang Fang was sent to work in the army.

Liu Song nodded: "To be honest, since the news of His Majesty ordering Merong He to be let go spread to the border, there have been small-scale changes in the army, and now..."

Jin Shi looked at the letter paper in his hand, he was silent for a moment, and said, "The change... is understandable."

Most of the soldiers and generals in the northern border had participated in the war with Beicheng. Many of their relatives, comrades-in-arms, and the people in the eleven border cities died at the hands of Beicheng.

But now that Lan An is dead, there is only Mo Rongying left. If Murong He was killed before, then Beicheng would have no chance of rising.

But the emperor actually ordered Merong He to be released back.

No, to be precise, he was sent back respectfully, and he was asked to bring many "rewards" with him.

This simply broke the hearts of border officers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty sent the national teacher there," Liu Song said solemnly. "The obvious reason is to appease the frontline soldiers. The two gold seal painting array masters brought by the national teacher are from the Chen family. Among the rewards for going back, there is Pingfeng, a Su Shang of the Chen family."

Jin Shi trembled when he heard the words, and almost scratched the paper.

The author has something to say:

This Chen family is the same Chen Shangshu who gave gifts to Merong He when he let Merong He go.
