son-in-law

Chapter 828
In Changqiu Palace, Feixiang Palace, Empress Dowager Cao Yuzhan lay lazily on her side on the imperial concubine's couch, with her forehead resting on one hand, and she faced the gate in front of the palace with her eyes open.

She seemed to be doing nothing, but anyone who knew her well knew that the Queen Mother must be thinking about something when she suddenly became in a "trance" state.

Cao Xiaobao stood aside with Fuchen in his arms, practicing standing up as usual.To say that Cao Xiaobao is not useless, for example, being able to practice while standing is also considered a skill.It is said that Li Wantang taught him this, why the manager of Li suddenly became nice to Cao Xiaobao, even Cao Xiaobao himself couldn't explain it clearly.

Sun Bumei sat on the crescent bench and peeled melon seeds for the Queen Mother. She did this light work seriously.This illegitimate daughter of the Cao family only served the Empress Dowager alone in the palace. When she left the Changqiu Palace, she was almost treated like a third-class imperial concubine.Even higher.

A fat black cat was lying quietly on the edge of the couch. It looked as lazy as her owner, and suddenly turned over with its belly up.The cat is black all over, even its belly.

The hall was empty, and there was no living thing.

Suddenly Cao Yuzan took a deep breath and sat up, looking a little impatient.

Cao Yuzan knew about Li Wantang's flaws in martial arts, and Cao Yuzan could tolerate his flaws, but whenever Lao Diaosi took a rest, he always felt a little overwhelmed.

Previously, he painstakingly cultivated Cao Xiaobao, hoping that Cao Xiaobao could take on the heavy responsibility, but this kid is only a little clever, lacking wisdom, and he often messed up slightly complicated things.Moreover, in order to eliminate dissidents, this kid is very vicious.His reputation can be described as "notorious".

I feel that Ji Lingyun is a good person, calm and experienced, not disturbed, and not confused when it comes to major events, but for some reason, Cao Yuzan always feels that Ji Lingyun is a bit incomprehensible, and he doesn't know what he wants.

I heard that Ji Lingyun was greedy for money before, but in Cao Yuzan's view, his greed was more like an act.He was worried that there was nothing wrong with him.

The more he was like this, the more fearful Cao Yuzan became.

Apart from Ji Lingyun and Cao Xiaobao, Cao Yuzhan didn't know who else could replace Li Wantang, not even for a few days.For example, Cao Mian, the guard of the feather forest, this distant cousin is brave and intrepid, and he is a good hand to lead troops to defend the city, but if he is asked to do spy work, he is probably not as good as Cao Xiaobao.

And people like Hua Tingfeng and Zhang Mi, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, are masters in individual soldiers, but they are not enough to provoke the leader of the team.

The civil service group under Cao Yuzan is growing day by day, and has also cultivated eight cadres, but they are only responsible for handling civil affairs, and they cannot be entrusted with spy work.Otherwise, if you give him too much power, you will always worry that you are making a wedding dress for others.

Just when Cao Yuhan felt that no one was available, one person stood out, and it was Feng Zhenqing, the leader of the Yunzhou Sect of the Red and Black God Sect.She found that Feng Zhenqing was very intelligent, and what he wanted was very clear, he wanted to be an official and get rich.

But he has a fatal flaw and cannot enter the palace.

If you can't come directly to Changqiu Palace, you can't become the Queen Mother's confidant.Cao Yuzan was also unwilling to condescend to go to the apse just to see him.

Not everyone can lift Cao Yuzan from the imperial concubine's bed.

"Then Feng Zhenqing is 40 years old, right?" Cao Yuzan pointed to the melon plate.

Sun Bumei immediately handed the melon plate to the Empress Dowager, and said, "Wan Long was born in 19, and is 41 years old this year."

Cao Yuzan nodded: "I heard that he has a family in Hedong with both sons and daughters."

Sun Bumei said: "The Feng family of Hedong Road was originally a famous family of heroes. In the third year of Wanlong, the left servant shot Feng Yi and participated in the "Gangao Reform" and was implicated. Emperor Wanlong drove Feng to Yanmen Pass in Hedong Daizhou, claiming to guard the gate forever. , not allowed to step into the capital. Feng Zhenqing is the eldest grandson of Feng Yi. Wanlong was selected into Daxiangguo Temple by Monk Wuliang in 26 years, and was sent to Jukui Mountain by Hu Rong. When he returned home to visit relatives at the age of 16, he was introduced by his family Zhang, a wealthy family in the state, married, and after that, he went home once a year, and had two sons and three daughters in more than [-] years."

Sun Bumei said it in one breath as if endorsing it, causing Cao Xiaobao to roll his eyes, cursing something in his heart.

Cao Yuzan glanced at Cao Xiaobao, and said: "Cao Xiaobao, go and ask Feng Zhenqing if he is willing to take the knife for Ai's family. If he is willing, I will allow him to be a virtuous envoy."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xiaobao let out a listless "Hmm".

Cao Yuzan pointed and scolded: "Don't mess with me this time."

Cao Xiaobao rolled his eyes: "But ma'am, if she doesn't want to, then what should I do?"

Cao Yuzan snorted coldly: "Then let him be willing. In addition, you have to remind him that I have no objection to him being the adopted son of Concubine Feng, and I even encourage him to do so. But let him grasp the propriety, don't really become too Concubine’s good son. Also, you have to remember that the one who gave him the knife was you, not me. Just say you want to win him over to deal with Li Wantang.”

Li Wantang and Feng Zhenqing said that the Yunzhou faction should be more honest after returning to Luoyang, and they must not let the people of King Kang's faction see through.For the sake of acting well, Feng Zhenqing flirted with Prince Geng's mansion on purpose, but never contacted Cao Yuzan.

Although he didn't contact him, it didn't mean that Cao Yuhan didn't stare at him.Among Feng Zhenqing's religious arhats, some were bought by Li Wantang.

Feng Zhenqing never expected that Cao Yuzan would do such a thing suddenly, and Cao Xiaobao was not a thing at all, he didn't even ask Feng Zhenqing if he was willing to do it directly.

Cao Xiaobao came to Fushanfang Zhenqing Temple mysteriously, found Feng Zhenqing, and said that he would invite Feng Zhenqing to have an imperial meal on behalf of the queen mother, and also sent a box of money.

Of course Feng Zhenqing didn't think too much, so he had a drink with Eunuch Cao.

If Feng Zhenqing was on guard, with his skill at the early stage of the Tenth Realm, this little Mongolian medicine would not pose a threat to him.But after drinking a lot, if you overdose, you can't save yourself.As expected, the Mongolian sweat medicine in the palace was not simple, it was colorless and odorless, but when it broke out, it came on fiercely.

When Feng Zhenqing woke up, Cao Xiaobao congratulated him with a smile and said: You are already the most trusted person of our queen mother.

At that time, Feng Zhenqing's medicine was not fully withdrawn, otherwise he might strangle Cao Xiaobao to death in a fit of anger.After Cao Xiaobao left, Feng Zhenqing comforted himself for a long time.Now that this is the case, we can only continue on this road.Crushing the teacup, I swore in my heart that this revenge will be settled slowly.

In a daze, I remember Cao Xiaobao said that Cao Yuzan promised him a military mission.The position of Jiedushi is quite attractive to Feng Zhenqing.Now that the Zhang family is about to collapse, then the Feng family in Hedong will be the most prominent family in Hedong in the future.

……

After Cao Xiaobao left, Cao Yuzan ordered Sun Bumei to call Li Wantang.Li Wantang didn't want to come to see him because of the backlash from his internal strength, but when he heard that Cao Yuzan wanted Feng Zhenqing to enter the palace, he still dressed neatly and came to Feixiang Palace.

"Aren't you afraid that Feng Zhenqing will take revenge if you do this?"

"That's why I called you here. You have to further let him know that it was Cao Xiaobao who attacked, not me."

Li Wantang nodded with a smile: "Cao Xiaobao's evil deeds are constant all the time. It turns out that the empress has always seen it. It is also because of his bad deeds that Feng Zhenqing believes that he dares to do things like this. However, according to Yinu, Feng Zhenqing may not believe everything. .”

Cao Yuzan snorted softly and said, "For a person like him, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Because I know what he wants, and I can afford it, but now he wants more. But in this way, He will be more focused on working for me."

Cao Yuzan changed the subject: "You should arrange a few more people over there."

Li Wantang nodded and said, "I understand."

Cao Yuzan fell lazily: "Write a letter to the King of Qin and tell him that Feng Zhenqing's daughter-in-law is also from the Zhang family in Hedong. It's also good to have a few close people. In short, let Feng Zhenqing know that my promise will definitely be fulfilled."

……

Yan Beiming doesn't like to sit in the main hall, but likes to stay in the back house.

Insist on practicing for an hour every morning.

She has reached the bottleneck period, and her cultivation speed is very slow now.But as long as you work hard and persevere, you can still brew some breath.After many years, you can also get a chance to hit the highlands.

After practicing, she took care of the children in the backyard.These children survived being raped by Chu Wuba.Their lives are hard, but they are also hard.Yan mourned and said that when he returned to Nankuishan this time, he would take the children away.

Nankui Mountain is the newly discovered mountain of Gu Yue Mountain and Yan Beiming. It is a little closer to Luoyang, and it can be reached in one day on a single horse.

But the children liked Tan Qin'er more than this aunt who didn't have a smile on her face.

In daily life, Qin'er is a girl who loves to laugh.After the death of her father Tan Fangding, she became more mature, but her nature of laughing did not change.When Long Ziyan lived in Honghei Temple, they could often be heard laughing in the backyard.Of course, occasionally the two of them would fight.Once a month or two, a "three-day break" will occur.But Long Ziyan's girl is skinny and shameless, she surrenders first almost every time, and Tan Qin'er is not a person who holds grudges.

"Or just let them stay." Seeing the children pouting, Tan Qin'er couldn't bear to say.

"No." Yan Yan mournfully said decisively: "You still don't know how to teach children. They will stay in your hands and will never become Mohist disciples. Look at them, they don't look like Mohist children should be. A little wronged, Just waiting to be coaxed, it's useless when you grow up."

While Yan Beiming taught those children a lesson, he was actually imparting experience to Qin'er.Qin'er seemed to have a different opinion, but her big eyes were slanted, and she didn't dare to speak up in front of the Iron Lady leader.

Then Qin'er left the yard on the grounds of buying tree roots, but just walked out of the moon gate and remembered that she didn't bring any money, so she went back to get it, and accidentally saw Yan Beiming holding a golden relic in his hand, dazed...
