Little Lady of the Red Chamber

Nan'an Palace couldn't hold on any longer, and even had children trapped in Qianxiang's wealthy family to frequently engage in activities together. Daiyu was not bothered by them, so she simply went to bed with Princess Chen in the name of sickness every day. The palace accompanied the empress dowager.

This delay will be delayed until the beginning of March, and the southeast is too far away. Even if there is a real war, it will not have much impact on Beijing and Central. On the contrary, Beijing and Central, with the investigation of the debts owed by the Ministry of Households, it is very difficult for some people.Those people who are smart are better off, they paid off their bills early, those who can't pay it back or have a fluke mentality naturally don't do well, because of this, some people don't even care about the children trapped in Qianxiang .Only the Nan'an Palace was still unwilling to give up. After all, most of the other families were descendants of the clan, but the Nan'an Palace had lost its support.

It's not that Concubine Nan'an never thought of going to the Empress Dowager to cry, but how could Daiyu let her spare the old man's closeness? Although she can't control the palace, the people in the Palace of Compassion and Ning still beat her.

Therefore, even if Concubine Nan'an could enter the palace, she would not be able to see the face of the Empress Dowager. As for the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Liu suffered a loss last time, so naturally she would not make a move easily. Be impulsive.After all, Cheng Engong also stayed in the Shichaotang, Nan'an Palace is doomed this time, saving them is not only useless, but cause trouble for nothing, it is unnecessary.

"The King of Nan'an has also been in charge of the Zhennan military power. If he can win over, he can also weaken the Mu family." Empress Dowager Liu still hesitated. The matter between Mu Xin and Tu Yuanjun is almost settled. Where will the Mu family lean? Edge is almost a no-brainer.

Mrs. Cheng Engong sighed and said: "Your Majesty, we naturally understand what you think. If King Nan'an is responsible for the conquest of Qianxiang this time, then this matter is naturally feasible, but let's not talk about military power now, King Nan'an may lose his life."

Although Empress Dowager Liu was still a little unwilling to give up, she couldn't think about it.Because of Tu Yuanrui's means, everyone will definitely die as the king of Nan'an. Who would have thought that the southeast war report would come again in January, but the Zhennan army took down the Qianxiang country in one fell swoop, and the queen's brother of the Qianxiang country killed the queen and led the army. The subjects surrendered, and those captured noble children were also rescued and saved their lives.

The royal family of Qianxiang was escorted to Beijing, accompanied by King Nan'an and his party, and it was already early May when this group arrived in the capital.

The collection of the owed silver by the Ministry of Accounts went smoothly, and the treasury has money at the moment.Every time this great victory happened, naturally a big celebration banquet was held. In order to reward the Zhennan Army, Mu Zhao was even given the title of Princess of Zhenguo. Considering her marriage with Tu Yuanjun, she did not join the imperial family.

It's just that after being a princess, she can't go out of Beijing again. This move was Xiao Bingquan's intention. Mu Xin took the command and handed over the Zhennan Army's military power. This move surprised the court.Su Xun even sneaked a sneak peek at King Ming standing beside the emperor.

What exactly is King Ming's intention? If he has a different intention, how can he take back the Mu family's military power? Dingguo's government holds the Zhenbei Army, so it is naturally impossible to take over the Zhennan Army. In this way, no matter who the Zhennan Army's successor is It will definitely be closer than the Mu family and King Ming's lineage.

"There must be few people in the court who can sleep tonight." After the celebration banquet, Mu Xin did not go back to his own mansion but came to Yong'an Palace with Tu Yuanrui.There is a small banquet in Yong'an Palace, all the people who are close to the meeting are present, and the one who speaks is King Zhongshun.

Mu Xin was talking with Tu Yuanjun together, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, as if it had nothing to do with him. Seeing her acting like this, Changtai's eyes flashed with deep thought.On the contrary, Liu Mengran said: "Mediocre people think too much, if you ask me, don't pay attention at all."

"Xingzhi's words are becoming more and more incisive." Tu Yuanrui said with a smile, but he didn't explain at all, he raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's a rare meeting, let's drink this cup to congratulate the princess!"

Mu Xin raised his cup and responded, "Since that's the case, it's disrespectful." After drinking it all, everyone applauded and drank it together, but Zhong Shun's words were taken away.

Zhongshun also drank the wine in his glass, then played with the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile, "I don't care about the affairs of the court, but I can't bear to be annoyed. One more question, how to deal with Huo Zhe, after so long, there should be a result , so that I don't have to be clean here." "Cousin Shun is always a person who is afraid of trouble, and if he really can't stand it, he won't see you. Who can save face in front of you." Fang Xiucheng said casually.

Zhongshun's eyes darkened and he said: "Xiucheng is getting worse and worse. After all, it is the order of the concubine conferred by the imperial court, and it is considered an elder. Although this king has a bad reputation, he still dare not do such a thing, otherwise the emperor's grandmother You can’t go there.”

Fang Xiucheng just smiled when he heard the words, but was not annoyed. "Okay, it's not a big deal. The Nan'an Palace has done nothing to the court these years. On the contrary, it has caused a lot of losses to the Zhennan Army. For the sake of the merits of the ancestors, it is impossible for Wang Jue to save his life." It's over." Tu Yuanrui said lightly, the fate of Nan'an Palace is already doomed.

Daiyu has never spoken, but it's not that she didn't feel that the atmosphere was not right. After the banquet, when she was alone with Tu Yuanrui in private, she couldn't help worrying, "Brother Rui, Lord Shun?"

"Hush!" Tu Yuanrui put his fingers on Daiyu's lips, with a smile on his lips, "Yu'er, don't worry, it's fine."

Seeing Tu Yuanrui like this, Daiyu knew that he knew what he was doing, so she stopped asking and just sighed, "When will this day end." There is still a word left, this right is really so good, but it makes father and son brothers turn against each other.

Tu Yuanrui hugged Daiyu lightly and comforted him: "Wait a few more years, when His Majesty is able to be alone, shall we go out for a walk?"

"Brother Rui is coaxing me again, but it would be great if that day comes." Daiyu just smiled when she heard the words. If it was possible, she would naturally be willing to travel the world together with the two of them, but judging from the current situation, It's really rare.

After this great victory and the celebration of the awards, the people were most concerned about a few points, the new generals of the Zhennan Army, the disposal of the Nan'an Palace, the royal family of Qianxiang and Qianxiang herself.

What will happen to the Nan'an Palace? Everyone has a rough idea. If there is no expectation, it is a matter of life and death. Sure enough, the emperor decreed that Huo Zhe's title will be cut off at the court meeting this day, but his life will be spared. The Huo family will be demoted to the people .Huo Zhe didn't dare to raise any objections to such treatment, except for the edict, who made him lose the battle.

It's just that the new general of the Zhennan Army was unexpected. Everyone thought that Tu Yuanrui took away the military power of Prince Mu's mansion, but he would never let the military power fall into the hands of others, but he didn't want the new commander of the Zhennan Army It turned out not to be from the lineage of the King of Ming Dynasty, but it should belong to a neutral minister if he really counted it.

Although Yu Cheng'an is only over forty years old, his military exploits are real. He only retreated because he offended Prince Li and failed to save his family. He is one of the best, but because of this matter, he is cold-hearted after all, and keeps a respectful distance from the royal family dispute. Even if Tu Yuanrui promoted him before, he was just sticking to his duty.I didn't want to hand over the Zhennan Army to him today, it was really unbelievable, and I pushed with the Marquis of Jing'an before and after him, and then I realized that I hurriedly bowed my leader to thank him.

The little emperor was also present at the court meeting, and seeing Cheng An leading the decree, he also had a smile on his face, "I have always respected my master's talent, this time I hope you will live up to me and Uncle Wang."

"I will live up to the trust of your Majesty and Your Highness." Yu Cheng'an knelt down and kowtowed, but he was a little hesitant in his heart. He had only taught the emperor for a few months, and the emperor had never been rude before, but it was impossible to entrust him with important tasks because of this. , this matter should still be the intention of King Ming, but why did King Ming do this?

Not to mention Yu Cheng'an himself, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were puzzled.Ding Guogong does not go to court, and the only person standing in the palace now is Ding Guogong's grandson, who is now the deputy commander of the imperial guard camp, promoted by Ming Wang.Thoughtful and flexible, they deliberately moved closer to him after he came down to court, but although Chen Zhe was young, he was a secretive person, and everyone just returned in vain.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Cheng'an went to Dingguo's mansion in person. He was considered as a military general. Although Yu Cheng'an was not in the King of Ming's faction, he had a little affection for Dingguo. Falsely claiming merit and disobeying, and offending the superior, if Duke Ding hadn't happened to be rescued, he might not have had the chance to become a Marquis because of his merit.Therefore, he respects Dingguo Gong Yu Cheng'an very much.

"Your Majesty gave you the title of loyalty and bravery that day. This is what His Majesty expected of you, and you should live up to it." Duke Ding said slowly, without any other words.Whether he can understand it depends on Yu Chengan himself.

Hearing the words, Yu Cheng'an pondered for a long time before saying: "As a subject, I should not be indifferent to the king. I only know whether the king is a king or a subject?"

These words were indeed a bit treasonous, Yu Chengan's palms were sweating, seeing Duke Ding's eyes sweeping over, he felt a chill in his body, "Prince Ming is a subject of His Majesty."

Although he has the right to assist the government, he is still a courtier!Although Yu Cheng'an still had some doubts, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and after thanking him, he left.

As soon as he left, two people came out from behind the screen.Tu Yuanrui cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa is tired."

"It's just a few small things, I know what you're thinking, but if you give in too much, it's easy for people to see opportunities." Dingguo looked at his grandson and said slowly, some things don't need to be explained too clearly, Dingguo is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight. General, these words are also for the good of Tu Yuanrui.

Naturally, Tu Yuanrui would not be ignorant of good people, thanked his grandfather, but no matter how much he said, there was no need.On the contrary, Chen Zhe couldn't help but said when he sent him out: "Grandfather is old after all, and he doesn't have the ambition of his youth. Some things must be broken before they can be broken. Your Highness must understand."

"What does Anshi think I want to do?" Tu Yuanrui looked indifferent, but those who knew him well could understand that he was already displeased.
