Your daughter's strategy

Feng Yiquan's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed. Yang Minzhi also quickly told the news to King Ancheng and Xu Jinghuan after leaving the palace. King Ancheng was stunned: "Grandfather really wants to clean up the uncle?"

Yang Minzhi hesitated and said, "So I'm hesitating whether to hand over the evidence we have in hand?"

King Ancheng was also a little at a loss, and looked at Xu Jinghuan together with Yang Minzhi. Xu Jinghuan pondered for a moment, thinking of the letter Xu Miaoyun wrote to him. is an opportunity.

But the king's mind is unpredictable, who knows if the emperor really made up his mind to punish Duan Wang or just punish him as a warning?After all, the emperor has loved Duan Wang for so many years, it is impossible for him to be separated because of one account book.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Jinghuan still said: "Wait a little longer, once this evidence is presented, it will definitely cause an uproar. I don't think we have the ability to deal with that kind of situation. If the emperor doesn't believe it, it will be said that we framed it." , then it's all over."

Yang Minzhi sighed: "This evidence is in my hands, and I can't eat or sleep well, so I wish I could hand it over quickly."

Xu Jinghuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the one who is anxious now should be King Duan, let's see how he responds, if he really fools the emperor, then we have nothing to say, if the more he tosses the emperor, the more angry he gets, then we will This is our chance."

King Ancheng sighed: "The matter has come to this, what can the emperor do to countermeasure? At most, he will cry in front of the emperor's grandfather. If the emperor's grandfather softens, this matter will be over."

It really made King Ancheng guess right.After the checking of the accounts by the Ministry of Accounts, there was a deficit of several million taels of silver. The emperor threw the account book on Duan Wang's face in front of several elders: "You are really good at making money!"

But after all, the emperor saved face for King Duan, and only asked where the money was spent by King Duan after he had dismissed several elders. .

The emperor was so angry that King Duan cried and kowtowed to admit his mistake, saying that he was deceived by fat.Indulging in pleasure, the emperor gradually calmed down after a while, but in the end he was spared several lucrative errands for Duan Wang, and even let him go to the tomb of the first emperor to guard the mausoleum and reflect on himself.

King Duan was rarely obedient this time.Obediently packed up his luggage and went to Xiaoling, but before he got there, he was called back by the emperor because of another war in the northwest.

There was silence in the study of Prince Ancheng, Xu Jinghuan, Zhang Sa.Dong Zicheng, Tang Yiran.Yang Minzhi was sitting on a chair below, his brows were tightly frowned, and the King of Ancheng said: "The emperor's grandfather was furious after reading the report from the Ministry of War, and complained that it was not the right time for the emperor's uncle to transfer Yue Li back, but the emperor's uncle said that he also read it." The urgent documents sent by the border gate are just a few small groups of Tartars wandering around. It will take more than ten days for the documents to be delivered from the border gate, and they may have been wiped out by Song Sanqi, who is guarding the ancient city gate. But the grandfather said that what happened on the battlefield It’s not certain, it’s changing in a flash, maybe the people in Gucheng Pass are being trampled by the Tartars, immediately tell Yue Li to go back, Yue Li has already taken orders to leave the capital yesterday.”

Zhang Sa said: "If I remember correctly, Song Sanqi is Song Fen who quelled the chaos in Miaojiang 30 years ago."

King Ancheng nodded: "Song Fen is his original name. He was just a small lieutenant general guarding Yunnan. When Miao Jiang rebelled, he led his soldiers there first and won three battles and three victories. When the soldiers arrived, almost all that was left was mopping up work. The imperial grandfather was very happy and named him Song Sanqi. He was actually only in his early twenties at that time, and now he is in his 50s. I don’t know if he is still young.”

Zhang Sa nodded: "I met him once when I was a child. He is very upright, but the reason why he went to the northwest to defend the frontier was selected by Prince Duan. I heard that he is very grateful and loyal to Prince Duan."

Dong Zicheng snorted: "You are so happy to ask him to go to the northwest to guard the frontier? What a fool."

Tang Yiran said: "You don't know, since the first emperor pacified the northwest, the northwest has been peaceful and peaceful, it's better to go to the border for two years, and when he comes back, he will be at the second rank or above. King Duan recommended him to go to the northwest. He is already old, and after staying there for two years, his status will be different immediately when he returns, how can he not be grateful, but it is a pity that such a thing has happened at the end of the day."

Xu Jinghuan and Yang Minzhi remained silent, but Ancheng County King first looked at Yang Minzhi and asked him what he meant.

Yang Minzhi said: "The emperor has already decided to send troops, and the matter of delivering food and grass has been handed over to King Duan. I think this is a good opportunity. It is better to ask the king of the county to come forward and recommend some people to go to the northwest. If the battle is settled, we can also make some money." With military merits, he will be qualified to compete with Yue Li, Wang Heng and others."

King Ancheng nodded: "Father also means the same thing. You will hand over their resumes to me in a while, and I will personally plead with the emperor's grandfather."

Xu Jinghuan didn't speak, he always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't tell.

First, King Duan transferred Yue Li back, then King Duan was found out for corruption and was punished by the emperor, and then something happened in the northwest, and Yue Li went back again, so wouldn't it be a waste of effort for King Duan to transfer Yue Li back?

Or is it due to my overthinking, the accident in the northwest was unexpected by King Duan?Or, was this war completely fabricated by Prince Duan?

He is in charge of the military power, and the people in the Ministry of War will obey him. As long as he does it in secret, no one will doubt it. As long as the Northwest war breaks out again, the emperor will rely heavily on this son, and then the corruption of King Duan will be wiped out?

Xu Jinghuan felt that Duan Wang was very likely to do such a thing.

But after all, it was about the country, and the emperor had already decided to send troops. If something happened, King Duan didn't have the ability to bear the emperor's anger. It might be worse than now, so Xu Jinghuan was not sure.

Although he acted resolutely, he was very cautious. King Ancheng saw him so hesitant, his heart moved, and he said, "But is there any problem?"

Xu Jinghuan shook his head, and instead asked Yang Minzhi, "Who sent the documents from the northwest?"

Yang Minzhi was a little surprised, and quickly said: "It's Song Sanqi's own handwriting. It only said that a small group of Tartars fled, and didn't say the battle situation."

King Ancheng said: "Do you suspect that this matter is fake?"

Xu Jinghuan nodded: "But it's a very important matter, I'm not sure, what makes people suspicious is how it happened so coincidentally, King Duan was punished here, and King Duan was pardoned again when the Northwest War broke out there."

King Ancheng also fell into deep thought. Zhang Sa thought for a while and said: "Whether it is true or not, we must take it as true. If it is false, it has nothing to do with us. If it is true , the fault is all ours, as I say. There is no need to send all the candidates we have prepared, if they are fake, maybe you lose your wife and lose your army."

King Ancheng nodded and said: "Guangning Guard and Ning Yuan Guard are the closest to the Gucheng Pass, and there are about [-] soldiers in these two places. If something happens to the Gucheng Pass, they will not stand idly by. In my opinion. We The troops were divided into two groups, some followed the emperor's team to the northwest, and some secretly went to Guangning Guard and Ning Yuan Guard to inquire about the news, if it was true, it would be fine, if it was false, we would know what was going on."

Xu Jinghuan nodded, acquiescing to King Ancheng's decision.Everyone discussed some details, and then they broke up.

Xu Jinghuan returned home.Yan Jingyi came up to meet her: "It's time to deliver something to Miaoyun, do you want my husband to go there in person?"

Xu Jinghuan was stunned, and then felt a little guilty. He was so busy these days that he actually forgot about his sister, and immediately said, "I'll go there myself."

Yan Jingyi smiled and said: "I haven't seen Miaoyun for a long time, my husband asked me to follow."

Xu Jinghuan was a little surprised, and slowly said: "You don't know how to ride a horse, and riding in a carriage is bumpy enough, so you should stay at home."

Yan Jingyi was in a hurry, and before she could speak, Xu Jinghuan said again: "You want to meet that man named Da Dao, don't you?"

Yan Jingyi was stunned, her first thought was how could the husband know?The second thought was, what should he do if he finds out?

Xu Jinghuan signaled the servant girl to step back, and said: "Father-in-law brought you and Yucheng back to Jiangxi, is that why? I also guessed that way when I saw Da Dao, but I didn't expect it to be true. It seems that the Yan family is Dao said that he hunted down his enemy."

Yan Jingyi hastily defended: "Uncle didn't send anyone to hunt him down. Our Yan family also has connections in Jiangxi. Uncle heard that someone from the Jianghu was inquiring about our Yan family and mentioned my aunt. Suspicious, he designed to capture that person. When that person heard that his aunt had passed away long ago, he went berserk. He insisted that his uncle forced his aunt to death. The uncle also guessed that this person might be the one with The person whom my aunt had appointed for life, hated him for letting my aunt give birth to a child out of wedlock, and died early, so she imprisoned him at home, but that man was very skilled in martial arts, and my uncle couldn't help it, so I asked the prefect of Jiangxi to send an official to guard him day and night Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for another young man to come to seek revenge, and he chopped up the uncle. The uncle saw that the two were in the same group, so he was so angry that he asked the prefect of Jiangxi to help catch this man. Didn't intend to kill him."

Yan Jingyi thought of the master Fuhui who came to the door later, and she didn't know what she said to her uncle, which made her uncle furious, and her mother was very worried about her. , Master Fuhui was involved again, the Xu family couldn't hide it, so they asked her to be careful, talk to Da Dao, and turn the fight into jade silk. After all, he is Yucheng's biological father, so he can't really become an enemy.

Yan Jingyi thought of Yan Yucheng who had stayed in Jiangxi and hadn't returned, and was extremely depressed. Xu Jinghuan saw her flaws at a glance, so what should happen now.

Xu Jinghuan did not show any contempt as she thought, but said: "Da Dao thought his master was dead, and he wanted revenge. Now that he is not dead, it's better to clear up this misunderstanding quickly and let them master and apprentice Get together early."

Yan Jingyi nodded again and again, Xu Jinghuan said again: "Leave this matter to me, you don't want to show your face, don't worry, if Da Dao wants to see his master, I will send someone to Jiangxi to settle this matter properly."

Only then did Yan Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief.

When Xu Jinghuan arrived at Huineng Temple, Xu Miaoyun was trying to persuade Dao not to leave Huineng Temple. Four or five novice monks surrounded him in the courtyard, fearing that Dao would not be able to explain himself when Master came back. Holding his long sword, he confronted everyone in the yard.

Seeing Xu Jinghuan coming, Xu Miaoyun ran over with a smile on her face: "Brother, you are here, please persuade Da Dao quickly, he insists on going to Jiangxi."

Xu Jinghuan patted Xu Miaoyun's head soothingly, and said to Dadao: "I want to talk to you. After the talk is over, you can decide whether to go to Jiangxi or not."

Dao was a little hesitant, he was not familiar with Xu Jinghuan, and from Xu Miaoyun's various descriptions, he only knew that Xu Jinghuan was a very smart person, but seeing that Xu Jinghuan seemed to really have something to say, he agreed.

Xu Miaoyun also wanted to listen to it, but was not allowed. She sat in the courtyard depressedly and looked at the closed door, guessing with Dangui what the two of them would say.As a result, the conversation lasted for an hour, and when the two came out again, Da Dao's eyes were red, and he bowed his hands to Xu Jinghuan to thank him.

Xu Jinghuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "If you want to go to Jiangxi, I will send someone to take you there. If you want to stay in the capital to wait for news, you master and apprentice will be reunited one day."

Da Dao said: "I have to think about it carefully."

Xu Jinghuan took his sister back to the small courtyard.

Xu Miaoyun was full of curiosity: "What did brother and Dao say?"

Xu Jinghuan didn't answer, but instead changed the topic: "Recently, the king of Ancheng County often visits you?"

Xu Miaoyun's face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Xu Jinghuan looked at her younger sister's expression and hated iron and steel: "You, you'd better hold it. How could he cherish it if he was so easily coaxed? The marriage between you two is unknown now. Those who come and go frequently also cause people to gossip."

Xu Miaoyun nodded embarrassingly, but still mustered up the courage to look at Xu Jinghuan with bright eyes: "Brother, I feel very happy with him, even if I don't talk, I feel very happy. For the first time, I thought, if I can marry Just give it to him."

Xu Jinghuan stroked his forehead, feeling helpless and angry.

How could my sister be coaxed so easily?

He said: "Stay here with peace of mind. Now is not the time for children to love each other, and the Northwest War has started again. Everyone's thoughts are on this, and I am too busy to take care of you. You have to take care of yourself It is."

Xu Miaoyun nodded, and said, "What happened to King Duan?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "A large deficit was discovered, and the emperor was very angry when he found out. He originally sent King Duan to guard the mausoleum as a punishment. Li has already gone to the northwest, and the emperor is getting old, so he is a little worried, and he is discussing the matter of sending troops, and it is estimated that Prince Duan will also go to the northwest."

Xu Miaoyun said: "No matter what, once King Duan leaves, the capital will be quiet for a while. These are the affairs of generals, brother, don't get involved in it."

Xu Jinghuan laughed: "It's not such a simple matter. Now, both civil and military officials have to do their best for the Northwest. They say that wealth and wealth are found in danger. If I don't have full confidence, I really want to go to the Northwest."

Xu Miaoyun frightened: "Brother, don't go, if something happens to you, what will my sister-in-law and I do?"

With a worried expression on his face, Xu Jinghuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life if the son of a daughter is not sitting in court." Then he stroked Xu Miaoyun's hair: "We still have to watch our Yun'er get married."

Xu Miaoyun knew that her brother was as good as his promise, and since he said that he would not take risks easily, he felt relieved and chatted about the trivial matters of Huineng Temple.

It has been almost 40 years since the Jingtai rule created by Emperor Wen. The rich and comfortable life has paralyzed many people. As a result, when something happens in the northwest, the capital is in turmoil and everyone is in danger. It seems that the Tartars will attack the capital in the next moment. .

It is also because of this that everyone pays special attention to the war in the Northwest. The emperor in the palace has also personally intervened in political affairs for a long time. King Kang, King Duan, Prince Rui, and King Ancheng are busy walking around. The seven elders of the cabinet take turns on duty. Always keep three people present at the same time, so that it is also easy to deal with emergencies.

What the emperor meant was that troops should be sent no matter what happened to the northwest. If the battle was urgent, they would be reinforcements. If the enemy had already retreated, they would line up in the northwest to deter the Tartars so that they would not dare to commit another crime.

But it was the first time for King Duan to choke with the emperor, saying that Song Sanqi could easily deal with those Tartars once he sent troops to waste people’s money, and he was quite disdainful of killing chickens with a butcher’s knife. I didn't know much about this, so the emperor asked Ancheng County King what he meant.

King Ancheng said: "Since Song Sanqi's letter, there has been no news. The situation of the battle is unknown, so it's not good to jump to conclusions. It's good for the emperor to go to the northwest in person. As for the troops, they will be ready to go in Liaodong first. If there is a change, you can respond in time. If you are prepared with both hands, you will be safe. After all, if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of the eventuality. If the Tartars have planned for a long time and Song Sanqi loses, it will be small if the city is lost, and it will be the border people who will suffer. I have to be displaced again, and I don’t know how long it will take to recover.”

The emperor couldn't help nodding: "Bo Rang is right. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Dongzhen, you can take the people there yourself, and it's fine if nothing happens. If something happens, you can make a quick decision. With a backbone, I can rest assured."

King Duan had no choice but to agree, and King Ancheng took the opportunity to recommend a few talents to the emperor: "They are all young talents, and the emperor's uncle will take them with him. Use them if they can, and let them see the world if they can't. Practice and practice."

The emperor managed to ease the relationship with Ancheng County King, so he naturally agreed, and ordered Duan Wang to teach with Haosheng, even if Duan Wang was reluctant, he could only agree.

But the day before departure, King Duan fell from his horse, his left leg was broken and he couldn't walk.

The emperor was afraid that King Duan would not take good care of him, and he would suffer from bad behavior, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he made a final decision and asked King Kang to take the place of King Duan to escort the grain and grass to the northwest, so that King Duan could recover from his illness with peace of mind.
