Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 282 So, you want to avenge those people?
Xue Mu suggested that Jing Hong issue an order to refuse the son of Northern Prince Jiang Qingyu to lead the army to support him?

Both the eunuchs Yan Songyu and Hu Chenghe were extremely surprised by this.

The state of Chu set up a Protectorate on each side of the four borders to resist the raids of the Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, Beidi and other tribes, and looked for opportunities to annex them in one fell swoop.

From the point of view of rank and power, Xue Mu, as the head of the Annan Protectorate's Mansion, has [-] soldiers in command, and belongs to the same level as Jiang Qiushui, who is also the head of the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion.

This person's martial arts cultivation is at the late stage of the Sunshine Realm, he is arrogant, and he never likes others to point fingers in front of him. He has been stationed on the border for many years and never asked for help. When asked if he wanted to send someone to support him, he flatly refused, and he just used his strength to turn the tide of the battle.

But this time, it was just a mild plague, why did he ask for help in an unprecedented way?
Moreover, Jiang Qingyu, the eldest son of the Northern Prince, must be rejected at the roll call!
It is true that Jiang Qingyu has just led the army to subdue Beidi and made great achievements in opening up the territory, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not his work alone.

Luo, the daughter of the third house owner of Huamanlou, killed the only two surviving ancestors of the Sunshine Realm in Beidi, and rejected the northern king Jiang Qiushui's layout in Beidi early on to win over the Baoluo clan and other tribes among the eight major tribes. The little maid beside him used Huamanlou's power suddenly turned into the little princess of the Helian family...

With the joint efforts of this group of people, Chu State was able to annex Beidi successfully.

As for Jiang Qingyu, he was just someone pushed out to take credit for it.

In the eyes of many people, the conquest of Beidi this time was all planned by Jiang Qiushui, the King of the North, in order to let his son Jiang Qingyu successfully inherit the throne and keep the fiefdoms of the three states.

And can Jiang Qingyu keep it...

To be honest, they are not optimistic.

"Within ten days, 3000 people were infected with the plague, and seven to eight hundred people died. It seems that someone in the Nanban has researched a new poison."

Yan Songyu took the memorial, glanced at it hastily, frowned and said:
"Nanman is mostly deep mountains and old forests, with swarms of snakes and insects. Over the past century, more soldiers have been damaged by poisons than died by barbarians. Therefore, His Majesty not only ordered the royal physicians in the palace to study antidote pills, but also protected Annan. The government is equipped with a hundred doctors to reduce casualties."

"This time the plague has not yet spread. As long as it is properly controlled, there should be no major problems. If the doctors can develop an antidote, then there is nothing to fear."

"I remember the last time someone in Annan's army got sick, it infected tens of thousands of people at one time, and the number of deaths was as many as two thousand. At that time, Palace Master Xue just asked His Majesty to send Shangguan to help develop the antidote. Why is this memorial? It didn't mention Lord Shangguan, but instead mentioned the newly promoted heir of Prince Rejecting the North?"

The Lord Shangguan Yan Songyu mentioned was named Shangguan Xiang, the chief physician in the palace, and one of the persons in charge of refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

"Drunkards don't care about drinking!"

Jing Hong chuckled lightly:
"Perhaps Xue Mu wants to see what is so special about this junior who has made great achievements in opening up territories. Maybe he wants to see if Jiang Qingyu is in his position, can he subdue the Nanman as well, or maybe ..."

On the side, Hu Chenghe bowed his head and said:

"Or maybe, Palace Master Xue wants to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Prince Bei."

"This old slave heard that Xue Shen, the only son of Mansion Master Xue who died in battle, had a fiancée, Mr. Xun Nanchun, the granddaughter of Mr. Xun, and this woman was in close contact with Jiang Qingshu."

"Is it?"

Jing Hong couldn't help being amazed:

"It's hard for Jiang Qingshu and Xun Nanchun, a pair of talented men and beautiful women. According to what I know about Mr. Xun, the old man can't see his family being ruined. If he finds out about this, he will definitely beat the mandarin duck!"

Hu Chenghe nodded:
"Indeed, Mr. Xun has already placed Xun Nanchun under house arrest and did not allow her to meet Jiang Qingshu, but he did not make things difficult for Jiang Qingshu, nor did he warn him."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has privately persuaded Jiang Qingshu to forget about Xun Nanchun and find another woman to fall in love with. Even if it is the daughter of Prime Minister Yan, His Highness can also ask His Majesty for a marriage decree for him."

"But he doesn't want to."

Jing Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard the words:
"Yuan'er can be a matchmaker. Yan Hui has only one son and two daughters. The eldest daughter married three years ago, and the youngest daughter just turned sixteen this year. She is held in his palm like a jewel. How can she entrust it to someone like Jiang Qingshu?" Proton in an awkward situation?"

"As for Mr. Xun..."

"He loves and cherishes talents, so he doesn't embarrass Jiang Qingshu. With his strength and status, he doesn't have to care about the other party's situation. But after all, Xun Nanchun and Xue Shen had a marriage contract before, and his fiancé died. With his old-fashioned and stubborn personality , must make Xun Nanchun observe the festival! If you want to make him change his mind and marry Xun Nanchun to Jiang Qingshu, I am afraid that my bestowal of marriage will not work."

Hu Chenghe was slightly taken aback:
"Your Majesty wants to marry Xun Nanchun and Jiang Qingshu?"

This is something that offends Xue Mu and even Xun Yong. Is it worthwhile to win Jiang Qingshu over?
Unexpectedly, Jing Hong glanced at him and asked back:
"Aren't you mentioning this just to help Yuan'er find out what I'm talking about?"

"Why, Yuan'er doesn't want me to give you a marriage?"

Hu Chenghe immediately trembled when he heard the words.

He knew that Jing Hong was a temperamental master, and he was very suspicious. Sometimes he even had a little bit of defense against the crown prince Jing Yuan. If he said something wrong, he might arouse the other party's suspicion and lose resources.

So he bowed his head and said:

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Old slave, old slave is just..."

But before he finished speaking, Jing Hong waved his hand:

"Okay, no more talking!"

"Next time, if you have something to say, put it directly on the bright side, don't be smart, and make side attacks on me, understand?"

Hu Chenghe was terrified, bent over, and almost lowered his head to his feet:
"Yes, the old slave understands!"

On the other side, seeing this scene, Yan Songyu couldn't help but sneer inwardly:
"Heh, you can't even figure out His Majesty's temper, and you still want to fight for power with me?"

"Isn't it good to cling to your Highness the Crown Prince honestly? After he ascends the throne, you can naturally take my place!"

"but……"

"Your Majesty has just entered the Sunshine Realm not long ago, and he is in good health. It is not a problem to live until the age of one hundred. You and His Highness the Crown Prince will wait slowly!"

At this time, Jing Hong sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead with his hand:

"Xue Mu asked me to order Jiang Qingyu to go to the south. Of course, I will not agree."

"This son has just subdued Beidi. If he goes to the south and helps Xue Mu pacify the Nanman clan, then what kind of reward should I give him? Add another state fief? What a joke!"

"So, the troubles at the southern border can only be dealt with by Xue Mu himself. If he can withstand it, that's fine. If he can't..."

"That's not necessarily a disaster."

"At present, Beidi has been flattened, and the 15 brave Anbei Army is in the hands of Jiang Qiushui and his son, too many!"

"I want to disarm, because there is no good reason, but if the southern border is lost, then tens of thousands of Anbei troops will be recruited to support, and the military power of Jiang Qiushui and his son will be reduced!"

"Perhaps, this is also Xue Mu's real intention in writing this memorial."

Yan Songyu and Hu Chenghe stood aside without saying a word.

After reviewing the memorials, Jing Hong would sit on a chair and talk to himself. At this time, they could not talk to each other, otherwise they would make the other party unhappy.

"I'm a little tired, you guys go back first."

"Fan Yu and Jing Li's marriage, since one of them doesn't want to marry and the other doesn't want to marry, then let's just let it go and don't make things difficult for the two of them."

"There is no need to take back the mansion that was given."

"As for Jiang Qingshu and Xun Nanchun..."

"If the two really love each other, I don't mind the beauty of adults. It's worth using a Xun Nanchun to tie Jiang Qingshu to the capital for my use. It's worthwhile to make Jiang Qiushui and his son fearful."

"in addition……"

"There is also Jing Li and Jiang Qingyu. This couple has been together for more than ten years and has a deep relationship. It seems that I shouldn't be a villain and break them up. Should I not order a marriage for the two?"

Jing Hong sighed and waved his hand.

next moment.

The two eunuchs walked out of the room with bowed bodies, making no noise as they walked, for fear of disturbing Jing Hong's tranquility.

After the two left, Jing Hong opened his eyes and suddenly sneered:
"Murong Yao, you have a master who is a big figure in the remnants of the previous dynasty. You have been refusing to reveal his identity for so many years, which makes me so jealous!"

"That's why I sent Jing Li to the Northern Territory for 12 years to be a servant girl. I thought he would show up secretly and I would take the opportunity to find out his identity and catch him to death!"

"But it's a pity that the man you desperately defended was too life-threatening and heartless, so he didn't even visit him once!"

"This time, I plan to hold a wedding for Jing Li in the capital, and at the same time allow you to go out of the palace to watch the ceremony!"

"I want to see, after so many years, will that man still remember you, and is it worth it for you to keep his identity secret!"

"Murong Yao, you stupid woman, I want you to understand that the most worthy man in this world is not him, but me! It's me!"

……

On this day, at dusk.

The north gate of the capital.

At this time, the sky was already a bit dark, but people were crowded around the city gate, each holding flowers and wine, and turned their heads to the north, looking forward to it.

Many of them have been waiting here since the early morning, just because they heard the news from various sources that the son of the King of Rejecting Bei who conquered Beidi will arrive in the capital today!
The common people don't understand power disputes, and they don't understand the meritorious deeds of the master. They only know that the son of the king who rejected Beidi won a great victory, conquered Beidi for Chu State, and added another state. He is a great hero, so he should be praised by them. Warm welcome and congratulations!

On the top of the city, teams of imperial guards in armor and holding knives are looking to the north.

The leader was Xue Fang, Xue Mu's younger brother, one of the commanders of the Eight Imperial Guards.

On the side, a lieutenant whispered:

"Boss, have you heard the news?"

"Last night, in order to protect the son of the Prince of Rejecting the North, Commander Dong Shen and the [-] Imperial Guard brothers were all killed! But none of the [-] guards of that son died!"

Xue Fang gave the man a cold look:
"so what?"

"You want to avenge those people?"
