The Duke of Wei, Wei Qingming, went back to the Duke of Wei's mansion with a sullen expression all the way. Wei Qingyuan followed closely behind Wei Qingming's ass, and entered the study with his brows furrowed.

"Big Brother, why did you offend the King of Xining?" Wei Qingyuan asked Wei Qingming strangely, looking at Wei Qingming's expression.

Wei Qingming frowned, stared at Wei Qingyuan expressionlessly, and then snorted coldly after a while: "Go read your sage book!"

Wei Qingyuan's face froze from being choked, and he was even more puzzled, but he didn't make any more noise.

Wei Qingming chased Wei Qingyuan out impatiently, stayed in the study for a long time by himself, called his confidant and sent a letter out.

Sincerity House has just received the news.

Liu Huaishen's eyelids twitched, and then he looked at Uncle Chengyi Liu Huaijin with a smile and said, "Could it be that Duke Wei wants to separate himself from the Lu family? How can he not clear up something that everyone with a discerning eye knows? This time, he will stun a large group of people." people!"

Liu Huaijin hummed, with a serious and dull face, holding the iron pliers in his hand, he moved the Wang charcoal in the charcoal cage, pondered for a long time before opening his mouth unhurriedly: "It's enough for people not to understand. No. If you can’t see clearly, you will have many scruples. The king of Xining has led soldiers for so many years, and he pays attention to the art of war.”

A light flashed in Liu Huaishen's eyes, and he nodded with a smile. "What Big Brother said is true. This elusiveness makes people more afraid to act rashly." After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Let Erlang go over after the new year?"

"What are you in a hurry for?" Liu Huaijin glanced at Liu Huaishen extremely indifferently, and put down the iron pliers in his hand.Slowly counting down, "The year is not yet over, and you are in a hurry to push Erlang out? Could it be that the academy in the north can still fly?"

Liu Huaishen still had a gentle expression on his face, only quietly listening to Liu Huaijin's scolding, but he sighed again in his heart.I'm afraid the eldest brother still has some scruples, that's right, at this time, he can't be wrong, the Liu family can't be ruined in their hands.It should be more scruples.

At this moment, in the Forbidden Palace, Emperor Cheng Ming was full of exhaustion that could not be concealed, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he slumped on the chair and gasped for breath.The inner hall is deserted and clear, but the brazier is burning vigorously.But it still couldn't dispel the cold air in the hall.

The head servant, Su Wenchui, stood by with his hands like a wooden stake, without moving his eyes.

Not long after, the little servant was poking his head at the entrance of the main hall, and winked cautiously at Su Wen.Su Wen caught a glimpse of the servant's figure from the corner of his eye, and he understood it.With the back of his hand shaking slightly behind his back, he stared at Emperor Cheng Ming who closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.He tiptoed out of the room, pulled the servant a little further away, and asked in a low voice, "But General Ye is back?"

The little servant nodded repeatedly: "I'm waiting in the outer hall."

Su Wen thought for a moment, ordered the little servant to take care of him, turned back to the inner hall, stooped to Emperor Chengming, and called out cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Cheng Ming opened his eyes.Frowning slightly, Su Wen saw this.He hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Ye Tianming, General Ye has returned and is waiting outside the hall."

Emperor Cheng Ming sat up from the chair, with a gloomy and exhausted face, hummed in a very flat voice, stared at the folder on the table for a while, and ordered in a cold voice: "General Ye, please come in."

Ye Tian will be in his sixties next year. He doesn't look mighty and tall, but he exudes a fierce spirit. He has a vigorous momentum, his eyes are piercing, and he looks like he is only in his early fifties.Walking into the inner hall with strides Lingfeng, the whole inner hall seemed to be more popular.

"My minister kowtows to the Holy One." Ye Tianming's voice was full of vicissitudes, but he was hearty, and he smiled and bowed to Emperor Chengming as soon as he entered the hall.

The hostility in Emperor Cheng Ming's eyes had already subsided, and he smiled gently at this moment. He stood up and helped Ye Tianming up himself.

"I haven't seen you for some years, and I will be old in a blink of an eye, and the old general is still so young." Emperor Cheng Ming said in a friendly tone, and patted Ye Tianming's hand with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about it. This humble minister is really old. Your Majesty has been blessed for thousands of years, and this is just the beginning, and he is still far away from being old." Ye Tianming laughed so much that his beard trembled, and he hurriedly followed Cheng Mingdi again. I saluted.

The monarch and his ministers were chatting in low voices in the empty hall as if they were chatting at home, but within a quarter of an hour, Ye Tianming quit the inner hall and hurried out of the forbidden palace.

Su Wen sent people out respectfully, and hurried back to Chengqian Hall.

The inner hall was bright and majestic. Emperor Cheng Ming was lying on his back on the rocking chair, his hands resting on the armrests of the chair, his eyes drooping slightly, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly.

Wei Lang, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, bent his waist and stood quietly in the inner hall, listening intently to Emperor Cheng Ming's lecture.

"...Your job is well done. I am very pleased that everything in the capital is very stable. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and it is inevitable that the capital will be more lively. If there are more people and more lively, troubles will easily arise. There are many people in every house Send some people to keep an eye on it. Especially the Xining Palace and Weiguo Duke's Mansion, and don't neglect the Chong'an Marquis Mansion."

Hearing this, Wei Lang's heart skipped a beat, his complexion changed almost invisibly, countless thoughts passed through his mind, and finally he kowtowed to accept his order, and retreated respectfully.

"I'll see you off." Su Wen smiled and saluted Wei Lang at the entrance of the main hall.

Wei Lang waved his hand, thanked his father-in-law, and walked out of the forbidden palace.

Su Wen watched Wei Lang walk away gradually, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and then he bent down and entered the inner hall.

As usual, the wind and snow were swaying in the capital, and amidst the cold streets and the busyness of every household, the sky darkened again unknowingly.

In the Xining Palace, Princess Wei listened to the replies from the nurses in charge, and carefully explained the various things prepared for the New Year's Eve, and then waved people off with a little tiredness.

Qin Nanny smiled and went forward to rub Princess Wei's shoulders, and heard Princess Wei sigh with frown: "I'm old, I'm so tired that I can't open my eyes after a while."

Nanny Qin was about to say a few auspicious words, but she heard a girl from outside come to report that the prince had ordered the rice to be placed in the courtyard of the study.

Princess Wei hurriedly opened her eyes, stretched out her hand to brush Aunt Qin away, and gave another order.

In the back yard, the eldest son Lu Junqing and King Xining sat opposite each other.There are several cases on the kang.Two jugs of wine and a few simple dishes were placed on the table, and the father and son had a drink with the wine and dishes.

It was quiet in the room, not even a servant serving him.

Lu Junqing personally poured the wine for the king of Xining. Hearing the sound of the cold wind outside, he smiled and said, "Look at this day, Weiyuan City and Dingbei Road must be even colder."

King Xining took a sip of hot wine, hummed casually, and asked in a casual tone: "You haven't been back to the north for several years. Go back and have a look this time?"

Lu Junqing's hand holding the jug froze slightly.There was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and he was shocked in his heart, but he still shook his head gently and calmly and said: "It's cold in the north, and my second brother is more suitable there. My body may not be able to withstand the cold."

King Xining raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Junqing, with a strange expression on his face.Then he snorted coldly, pulled the jug from Lu Junqing's hand, and reprimanded with disgust: "Don't play sloppy with me! I don't care about this. The north is the root of Lu's family. You are from my Lu's family. Sooner or later Go back!"

Lu Junqing was noncommittal, just smiled softly and gently.But my heart moved slightly.

While chewing on King Xining's words, an inexplicable doubt and shock passed over in an instant.Lu Junzhao's gaze changed slightly, he looked at King Xining and said in a deep voice, "Father wants the second younger brother to return to the capital?"

"In the Yuanjiang area, Beiyan and the Eight Grassland Divisions are still in a stalemate. No one can say where the army will go. There are too many variables at this time." The king of Xining did not answer the question, and only uttered a sentence slowly.The movements of the hands did not stop at all.He poured himself another full glass of hot wine.

Lu Junqing's eyes were dark, and she frowned as she stared at the flagon in King Xining's hand.The tone obviously disagrees: "There are many variables in the capital!"

"It's quite a lot." King Xining raised his eyebrows, nodded with a smile, glanced at Lu Junqing and coughed unhurriedly, "So there should be no chaos in the north. That bastard just asked Zhu Er to send a letter over, pick Mingming wants you to go to the north. As soon as the imperial decree arrives, he will come back."

The astonishment in Lu Junqing's eyes flashed away, and his brows frowned again. "Nonsense!"

King Xining shook his head with a smile, his eyes filled with emotion and relief. "That bastard has a stubborn temper, and I don't want to bother with him!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and called Zhu Er, who was waiting outside, into the room. "Ask yourself."

"What about your master asking you to bring it?" Lu Junqing had a hint of anger on his face, and his tone was not very kind.

Zhu Er's heart trembled, he only felt that Lu Junqing's eyes were the same as his own father's, with a faint murderous look.

"Return to the words of the eldest son. My master said that it is cold in the north and it is not suitable for labor. My master plans to return to the capital for the New Year. Madam is afraid of the cold, so it is not suitable to go out these days. In addition, the weather is cold and the roads are slippery, so I won't make another trip."

There were not many words, but they were simple and clear. Lu Junqing stared at Zhu Er, a light flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly trembled.

King Xining who was sitting across from him suddenly dropped his wine glass. The glass fell on the table and rolled all the way, making the dishes ding-dong and thinking about it. The sound was clear and clear, and Zhu Er's heart trembled.

"Just these few words?" Xining Wang Teng jumped up on the kang, his eyes fixed on Zhu Er, and there was some unknown deterrence in his voice.

Zhu Er hurriedly assured: "It's the original words of the master." After a pause, seeing that the expressions of King Xining and Lu Junqing were a little bit wrong, Zhu Er's heart followed, and suddenly there was an order from his master and wife before he left. , hurriedly blurted out, "There are a few more gossips!"

"Say!" King Xining kicked Zhu Er's calf anxiously.

Zhu Er staggered a few times, and hurriedly stood up to gather his composure, and explained in detail what he had heard earlier: "The young master and his wife gave a few instructions before leaving, saying that the Beirongyuan is deserted, and next year it will be the next year. It's getting lively. Madam also said that it's not suitable to go out because of Ge Sanniang's arrest, so please don't worry to the elders in the family, Madam and Master are fine..."

Before Zhu Er finished speaking, King Xining slapped the table with his palm. The beard on his face trembled. He didn't know whether he was angry or something, his fingers trembled, and he cursed after a long while: "Stupid thing! Idiot! I still play riddles! I..." The king of Xining blushed and kicked his family on the Kang.

Before anyone could recover, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that Zhu Er couldn't figure it out for a while. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
