Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Luo Chengjing frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I remember that Tao Qian and Aiqing's nephews seem to be pretty good, and they have made a lot of contributions on the battlefield."

Zhongyong Hou replied: "The second younger brother of the minister is indeed brave in killing the enemy, but he has been following the minister for so many years. It is all what the minister says about him and what he does. There is no handsome talent who can control the overall situation."

"Besides, the second brother of the minister has guarded the border with the minister for many years, and has killed countless enemies in battle. He has also suffered a lot of hidden injuries in these years. He has been sticking to the northern border because of the instability of the northern border. Now the northern border is stable. After he is down, it is time for him to take good care of his body."

"As for my nephew, like his father, he can only be a general, but has no ability to be a commander. I can't just ignore the lives of 30 soldiers because of my own selfishness. I implore the emperor to find a suitable candidate again. In charge of the 30 Zhenbei Army."

After Luo Chengjing listened to Zhongyonghou's words, he was silent for a while and still did not accept the military amulet handed over by Zhongyonghou. Instead, he said: "There is no rush, Aiqing, you should go back and take a good rest. I will ask Pei Yuanjuan to help Aiqing look at it later." Look at the legs."

Marquis Zhongyong also knew that this matter could not be done in one go, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being, and put away the soldier talisman made of black iron.

As soon as Zhongyong Hou returned to the Hou Mansion from the palace, Lu Qian, the second master of the Hou Mansion who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him, "Brother, what's the matter, has the Emperor agreed?"

Zhongyonghou shook his head and said, "No."

Lu Qian had a worried look on his face, "Then what should we do?"

Zhongyonghou comforted Lu Qian and said: "Don't worry, when the emperor knows that I really want to hand over the military power, he will naturally agree."

Zhongyonghou looked at Lin's quietly, and Lin's aura gradually weakened under Zhongyonghou's eyes.

Zhongyonghou saw Lin's unwillingness to give up, and told her directly: "Chang and the imperial concubine regret letting Wanning into the palace, and she violated the emperor's taboo in order to get rid of Wanning. Now that I voluntarily hand over my military power, I might be able to keep our Zhongyonghou Mansion, if I don’t hand over my military power, then if the emperor settles the case, our entire Zhongyonghou Mansion will really be over."

Mrs. Lin has already heard the meaning of Zhongyonghou's words. Today, the power of her official family has been handed over. After a moment of silence, she said: "It's okay for me to hand over the power of housekeeper, but this person must not be Mrs. Zhang. .”

Mrs. Ji is Lu Siyuan's wife, the wife of the eldest son of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, who gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lu Siyuan. She is also very respectful and filial to Mrs. Lin on weekdays. Mrs. Lin is quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

"My son is nothing interesting. My son just thinks that mother has worked hard these years. You are getting older now. You should not let you worry about the Hou Mansion. From now on, mother will leave the trivial matters in the mansion to the second younger siblings. If mother is free After that, you can listen to operas, raise flowers and so on.”

"understood."

"You..." Lin pointed her finger at Zhongyonghou, she was so angry that she couldn't say a word, she didn't expect that the first thing her biological son would do when he came home was to seize her power of housekeeper.

Marquis Zhongyong didn't poke Lin, but said: "Even if you don't say that, there is no one in our Marquis who can continue to hold the military talisman. My son's leg is lame, and Siyuan is gone. Simo is determined to get fame. Fourth brother I won’t talk about what kind of son He Siqi is, does mother want her son to hand over the military talisman to the second younger brother He Sishan?”

"If you don't hand it over to the second younger sibling, who does mother want to hand it over to?" Zhongyonghou asked: "Chang's family can't stand up, and the fourth younger sibling has a temperament like that and can't handle it. The third younger sibling is pretty good, but the third younger sibling doesn't want to be housekeeper. .”

Marquis Zhongyong looked at Lin's expression, shook his head, and said, "Mother, now that my son is back, he will take care of the affairs of the mansion in the future, so you can take good care of yourself."

Zhongyong Hou waited for Lin to finish speaking, and then said: "Mother, you are wrong, military power is not the foundation of our Lu family's life, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the foundation of our Lu family's life."

Zhongyonghou nodded.

Lin thought for a while, and finally thought of a suitable candidate, "Leave it to Ji."

When it comes to this matter, Mrs. Lin is a little guilty. She heard Mrs. Chang and the imperial concubine and did not discuss this matter with her son, but what does this matter have to do with whether to hand over the military power?

Seeing that Zhongyonghou had really admitted this matter, Mrs. Lin's face suddenly darkened, "You are confused! Military power has always been the foundation of our Lu family's life, but now you want to hand it over, how can you be right?" The ancestors of the family?"

Zhongyonghou went to Lin's place, and after seeing Zhongyonghou, Lin sent out all the servants around him, and then asked straight to the point: "Mother heard that you are going to hand over the soldier talisman?"

Lin thought that even if Dow was willing to be the housekeeper, she would not be able to hand over the power of housekeeper to Doo. Dow didn't treat her very respectfully, if she was allowed to take the power of housekeeper again, how could she give up the power of housekeeper again? She puts it in her eyes.

It is impossible for her to hand over the power of housekeeper to the concubine's daughter-in-law.

"It's not as serious as you said?" Although Lin said so, she still believed in Zhongyonghou in her heart.

Lin's eyes widened upon hearing this, "What do you mean?"

Only then did Zhongyong Hou speak: "If you hadn't sent Wan Ning into the palace, the two would not have conflicted."

The two were talking, when the servant girl beside Lin came to look for Hou Zhongyong, and said, "Master Hou, the old lady is looking for you."

Zhongyonghou knew the Lin family well, and the second master Lu Qian was a concubine. It was absolutely impossible for Lin to watch the soldier talisman fall into the hands of Lu Qian and his son. If that was the case, she would rather Zhongyonghou give the soldier talisman to someone else.

Seeing Lin's state like this, Zhongyong Hou sighed, softened his tone, and said: "Mother, you are my mother, the old matriarch of this Hou's mansion, even if you don't care about anything, no one would dare to disrespect you. "

Lin snorted coldly, "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism do not conflict with military power."

Zhongyonghou nodded, "Since mother thinks Ji is suitable, then my son will ask someone to find Ji, and mother will hand over the cards and other things in the house to Ji."

Lin looked at Zhongyonghou twice, and responded with a dark face.

After talking about these matters with Mrs. Lin, it happened that Court Judge Pei came to look after Zhongyonghou's legs, and Zhongyonghou returned to his yard.

Mrs. Lin sat alone in the room for a long time, and took out the box containing the pair of cards in the mansion and rubbed it for a long time, then reluctantly put the box containing the pair of cards aside, and ordered the maid to call her grandson-in-law, Mrs. Ji, over.

Here, Courtyard Pei inspected Zhongyonghou's legs, prescribed medicine for Zhongyonghou, and then left.
