The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 169 Always work hard

Dai Ji half-kneeled to salute.

Zong Che just nodded, and the dozen or so generals following the second prince immediately showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

The second prince didn't care at all, he raised his hand to help Dai Ji, exchanged a few words of greeting, let everyone go in, and said to Zong Che: "I have heard that the number one scholar in this department is extraordinary. Sure enough, heroes come out of youth."

Zong Che said politely: "The Second Prince's praise is due to His Majesty's respect."

The second prince smiled, looked at An Xu, and said: "This is Mrs. Zhuangyuan, come here, please come to the backyard and ask the second lady to entertain you well."

One champion per mouth, it seems that the second prince doesn't care about Zong Che's appointment at all.

With a child in each hand, An Xu nodded to Zong Che, and followed the maid of the Governor's Mansion to the backyard.

Partridge and Daoxiang also hurriedly followed.

Zong Che was not worried that An Xu would be in danger, as soon as she left, she stepped into Hua Yu, who was waiting for guests in the Governor's Mansion. Before the second prince could react, he saw the man pull out a bright yellow silk cloth from his cuff.

"The second prince accepts the order."

The second prince quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I accept the order."

Brothers Dai Ji and Dai Lun are a little confused, what is this lord trying to do, you can't be more tactful when you read the imperial decree when you are on his territory?
Also, when did the emperor give Zong Che an imperial edict.

The general idea of ​​the imperial decree is that the emperor has been seriously ill recently, and he often thinks about the past and the past. He deeply feels that he has failed as a husband and father. The second prince has been away for many years, and he is very concerned. He told the second prince to bring his wives, concubines and children back to Beijing as soon as possible.

The emperor wanted to meet these grandsons whom he had never seen before before he died.

The implication is to give them a more suitable arrangement.

As for all affairs in the northern border, they will be temporarily handed over to the general Zong Che.

This handover not only includes military power, but also the political power of Huoliang Mansion and more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction.

However, Master Wan, the former magistrate of Huoliang Prefecture, was promoted, and the saint promoted him to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

From being a fourth-rank magistrate to being a third-rank minister in the central power center, many people would never be able to overcome these two levels of natural barriers.

But Lord Wan was promoted just like that, and everyone knew it was because of the face of the second prince and concubine.

Is this the meaning of arranging power for the second prince?

In the evening, the second prince entertained Zong Che and Dai Ji brothers and came back. Lying on the bed, he couldn't help but turn out the imperial decree and read it word by word.

This imperial decree was written by the emperor himself.

Could it be that the father is really old, looking back on the past, he feels guilty.

The second prince has ambitions, but he is also a human being, and he cannot avoid yearning for the love of his parents. When he was a child, when his mother passed away, his father also cared about him.

It was only later that Concubine Degui filed a complaint, saying that she bullied his younger sister, and many concubines insinuated and always mentioned the disadvantages of the queen mother, so the father became more and more alienated and bored with him.

No matter how much of the imperial edict was the father's sincere words, the second prince's heart was really touched.

There was a soft knock at the door, and a fair-skinned and exquisite woman closed the door sideways and walked in, holding a tray in her hand.

"Your Highness, I personally watched the boiled lotus seed and red bean soup." The woman put the tray aside, and handed the bowl with a slight blue fluorescent color to the second prince's hand.

The bright red beans floated in the bowl full of blue light, and the two bright colors contrasted, not very pretty, but very eye-catching.

Seeing the bright yellow imperial decree that the second prince pressed under the pillow, the woman sat aside, leaned on his shoulder, and asked cautiously: "Do you really want to go back?"

The second prince drank the porridge slowly, and said, "You pack your things tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Alright, my sister has brought the eldest son to Beijing for six or seven years, and she must miss you very much."

The second prince frowned slightly. He hadn't heard from him for two or three years. He hadn't thought of this first wife for a long time. This mention might mean that he was going back to Beijing soon. The scenes when he was with her in the past kept flashing in his mind.

So the emperor is determined to call him back to Beijing this time, is there her push?
Although the second prince insisted that he must return to the capital, because even if the emperor did not summon him, he would take the initiative to seek an opportunity to go back for that position, but he also knew that, as Mr. Lu said, success or failure after returning to the capital is unpredictable, and there may be many Big danger.

What a smart woman Wan is, the second prince knows, and she must also know the danger involved in returning to Beijing.

Does she want to get herself back?
A bowl of porridge was almost drunk in the second prince's unconscious thinking. There was a knock on the door, followed by a guard's report: "Your Highness, Lord Zong handed over some clothes that the princess brought to you."

The second prince asked someone to pick him up, took the clothes and letters, and asked, "Only these?"

The guard nodded: "Master Zong is still very sorry. He said that the Jiping Mansion suffered a flood. The letters were all wet, and the clothes were also soaked in water. They haven't had time to wash them."

The second prince said: "No problem, thank you for me."

The guards went down, the second prince didn't read the letter, but put it aside, he picked up his clothes to read.

Seeing this, Wan Linglong was very jealous. For so many years, that elder sister never gave up. Every year, she made two sets of clothes and sent them over. This time, the person who replaced the second prince brought them over.

How much she wants to win favor.

Wan Linglong also took a look, and said with a smile: "Why is my sister's embroidery work declining again?"

The embroidery of the previous clothes was better than this one.

The second prince glanced at her impatiently and said, "Get out."

Wan Linglong was taken aback. Since entering the door, the second prince had never spoken so harshly to her. She twisted the veil and ran out crying.

Outside the door, the grievance on his face turned into cruelty.

It doesn't matter if she returns to the capital, she will have to peel off Wan Feicui's skin. I don't believe that she can stand alone in an empty room after staying in the capital for so many years.

Unwrapping the embroidery thread, he saw that there were indeed black embroidery characters inside, and the second prince regarded it as a treasure.

His prince and concubine are really talented, and she even explained clearly what happened in the palace for these years in just a few dozen words.

Rubbing the last two words of "must kill", the second prince's eyes flashed with struggle.

He knows now that his wife is still wholeheartedly for him, but he can't do what she says.

The candidate appointed by the emperor cannot die in the future, let alone die in the northern border.

If you want to kill, you can only do it after you are sure you can't subdue it.

At the beginning, Mr. Lu only suggested that the second prince had no intention of killing, but his wife emphasized in the letter that this man is an extraordinary talent.The person my wife admires so much must be a threat to the northern border, so if he can't use it for himself, he has no choice but to kill him.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Lu was summoned to discuss matters. Hearing the second prince's thoughts, he smiled gratifiedly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured to bring people to Beijing. I will stay behind to get the coolness."

At that time, if the surname Zong didn't know how to play, killing him would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

The second prince said: "With Mr. here, I am very relieved. But in the letter, Zhuo Jing repeatedly said that Zong Che, a farmer, is an extraordinary talent. You must be careful."

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have an idea."

In the middle of the night, neither An Xu nor Zong Che fell asleep. At first, An Xu couldn't sleep, but when he closed his eyes, he still remembered the scene when the flood came the day before yesterday. Zong Che blocked her for a while, and when he was resting on the road, She just discovered a long bruise on his back, because she didn't deal with it in time, when she found out and applied medicine to him, there were many tiny bloodshots oozing from the bruise towards the edge.

And I don't know why, An Xu didn't feel safe in the heavy military governor's mansion, and felt that it would be better than staying at the inn on the road last night.

Then Zong Che noticed that she was tossing and turning, so he rolled over and pushed her up, "Since I can't sleep, let's do something."

It was midnight as soon as they were doing things, and both of them calmed down from the extreme blood rush. An Xu heard the small sound of Xiao Wang snoring outside when he fell asleep.

She couldn't help laughing.

Zong Che's big hand was still stroking her shoulder, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

An Xu said with a smile: "I think the sound of Xiao Wang's snoring is very funny. It is obviously a dog, so why does it look like a cat when it sleeps?"

Zong Che lowered his head and bit her lips, An Xu put his hands on his strong chest muscles, and quickly let go, "What are you doing?"

Zong Che laughed and said, "Punish you for not paying attention."

"Then I don't care if you don't concentrate. With the military governor's mansion surrounded by the second prince's troops, you still have the mood to do private affairs," An Xu said.

Thinking of one thing, "By the way, you said that the second concubine, what message did you send us?"

They did not research all the way.

Zong Che said: "It's nothing more than conveying some information about the capital, or directly suggesting that the second prince get rid of us."

An Xu was taken aback, "In that case, why did you send the things back to the Second Prince?"

They couldn't figure out how the letter was sent, but they were a husband and wife, so there must be an agreed code for sending the letter.

Zong Che wanted the second prince to do something, otherwise, if they didn't move, the northern border wouldn't move, and if the northern border didn't move, how could he intervene.

But if he told her, he would definitely be punished, so he said, "I just thought of that."

An Xu: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

If it had been said earlier, they could also recruit some people on the road.

Isn't it just that the sheep have entered the wolf's den now?
Zong Che put his lips on her ear: "Don't worry, I still have other hands."

When Emperor Shuntai wanted to re-establish an army to guard the palace and asked him to be in charge, he knew that he would not have a high-ranking official in the future.

The final fate of the sharp blade is only the stove.

He is not willing to die for his loyalty, so he will naturally arrange a way out for himself.

After falling asleep, An Xu had a dream. In the dream, it was either a flood or a weapon. When he woke up the next day, he always felt that the meaning was not very good.

The Governor's Mansion arranged for them a separate courtyard with a small kitchen. An Xu went in and took a look. There were fresh chicken, duck and fish, and two large pieces of tofu.

It's not suitable to eat too complicated in the morning. The cook has already cooked porridge and made steamed buns, and An Xu mixed a shallot tofu.

After breakfast, she was fine, and went to the market outside with Partridge Yandial and Yan Zhun.

It will not be a short time to be here in the future, and some shops will also open here.
