The Major General's Country Wife

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered..."

The eunuch next to the emperor announced the decree, and said to Xu Guogong with a smile: "The emperor was furious when he heard about this, and he severely reprimanded him at the court. He issued an edict as soon as he came down to comfort Xu Guogong."

"My emperor is wise, and the old minister is very grateful." Xu Guogong said with a touch of emotion after receiving the imperial edict with both hands.

"The miscellaneous family congratulates the Duke of the country first." The great eunuch looked at the people of the Xu family who received the order and said: "The general family is not short of bloody men. The emperor is always full of praise, and now he really shows a brave side."

"Alas!" Xu Guogong said modestly: "These children are ignorant and arrogant. The Duke of this country has taught them a lesson. How can the important ministers of the court not save any face? They will be strictly controlled in the future."

"The miscellaneous family has something to do, let's go back to the palace first." The chief eunuch smiled lightly and said nothing else, turned around and left with the young eunuch.

"Father." Xu Chongwen frowned, and pointed in the direction of the palace, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Today, the court reprimanded those families with the impeachment of the censor, and now they are still ordering rewards?"

"Hmph." Xu Guogong listened to Xu Chongwen and Xu Chongxin come back and talk about the court affairs, Yushi impeached Princess Chaoyun and several ministers' residences to humiliate Yipin Guogong's residence.

The emperor was angry and reprimanded, and made it clear that he wanted several courtiers to control the family well, and sent someone to reprimand Princess Chaoyun, so he had a premonition that the emperor would come down with a decree.

Sure enough, not to mention the generous rewards from the decree, the position of the company's eldest grandson was arranged again, as if he hadn't been dismissed.

It's just that the sons still haven't been assigned duties. I don't know if the will is for others to see, or if there is another mystery hidden in it.

"If it weren't for the big trouble this time, there would be rumors in the capital that the Duke of Yipin was humiliated at random, which would make those who have nothing to do with themselves feel chilling."

Xu Guogong said with a sneer: "Why did the impeachment go to the court today, and all the ministers have spoken out one after another, all afraid that this matter will not be able to say which day will fall on them in the future."

"Okay." Xu Guogong looked at the descendants of the Xu family in front of him, and said helplessly: "Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, whether it is good or bad, you can bear it."

He turned and left, sighing in his heart: I am really old, I don't have the fearless courage of the juniors, what I think of in advance is the helplessness under the imperial power, and then my family and the army.

Xu Guogong thought of the grandchildren who came to the door, those princesses and family members who were full of humiliation and contempt when they were openly begging for marriage, they could directly beat them out without mercy.

This is something he can't do!

He thought that he could only throw people out, and he was furious in his heart and had to consider the overall situation. It was nothing more than wronging his family and bringing shame to his government.

Xu Guogong was disheartened, he didn't want to restrain his family any more, he simply let them do whatever they wanted, at worst the whole family would be convicted, it would be better than having to live in affliction all day long.

……

After Yun Changsheng heard the news, he thought to himself: What kind of moth is this emperor, he would never be so kind as to stand up for the Duke's House.

It was a decree to comfort and a reward, and Xu Changfeng was returned to his post, no, it was a better job, to enter the palace as a guard of the Imperial Forest Army.

No matter what he thinks, he is wrong, if the emperor wants to stop seeking military power, he will not behave like this.

Even if the Xu family is not allowed to return to the border, and the Xu family's concubine masters cannot continue to be idle at home, they must be arranged for jobs.

The wind and rain were about to come, and these words suddenly crossed Yun Changsheng's mind, which made him feel chills all over his body, and always felt like he was being calculated.

"Long cry." He yelled towards the outside, and a plump goshawk flew over and yelled at Yun Changsheng.

"Look at the one you raised recently. It's full of fat." Yun Changsheng smiled and stroked his head, which he rubbed over affectionately, "Can I still fly in the future? Do you want to lose weight?"

The goshawk chirped, seeming to understand what he said, spread its wings and circled around the room a few times quickly.

On the other side, a pair of small eyes were twitching, as if to let Yun Changsheng see if it could still fly, and if it wanted to lose weight.

"Pfft." Yun Changsheng couldn't help smiling, "Since you can fly, send me a letter."

As he said that, he walked to the table and took up a pen to write a letter. It was midsummer now, and Yun Changsheng didn't want to go out in the scorching sun, so he just asked Chang Ming to take a trip.

Ever since getting along with Xu Changfeng got better and better, Yun Changsheng no longer concealed them from Changming, and he missed them very much after keeping them outside, so he simply called them back.

Xu Changfeng didn't ask much, as if he knew that they were related to Yun Changsheng, he accepted them very well, and he loved the two goshawks very much.

"Changming went out?" Xu Changfeng came back, just in time to see Changming flying out of the house, and only Chang Xiao came in, "Why didn't it go out?"

"Go and send me a letter." Yun Changsheng didn't hide anything, but he didn't mention the content of the letter, "Go to the Escort for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"Yeah." Xu Changfeng didn't say anything, sat down and said, "I'm going to be on duty in a few days, I'm not as free as I am now."

"Oh." Yun Changsheng knew, and said, "I have nothing to do here, so you don't have to worry."

Seeing Yun Changsheng's well-behaved and obedient appearance, Xu Changfeng felt amused, how could the wanton hidden in his eyes make him feel at ease.

As long as that petty temper comes up, he dares to speak out no matter what, Xu Changfeng is worried and doesn't want to obliterate his innocence.

Reaching out his hand to touch Yun Changsheng's head affectionately, meeting his puzzled eyes, Xu Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "It's hot in midsummer, if you don't want to go out, don't go out, and I will take you out to play when I take a break."

"Well, good." Yun Changsheng couldn't understand what he meant, it was because of the hot weather, he didn't want to go out alone.

For this concern, he has no reason to refuse, "I will go out after you take a break. I don't have any place to go now. You see, I just want to see how Uncle He and the others are doing. I don't even bother to go out."

Xu Changfeng couldn't help laughing when he thought about Changming sending the letter, it was indeed convincing, but he always felt that Yun Changsheng's nature was not so obedient.

"Well, if you are obedient, I will bring you delicious food every day when you come back." Xu Changfeng promised. He found that Yun Changsheng was more delicious, but he forbears it.

"Ah?" Yun Changsheng stared blankly, feeling like a child being coaxed by Xu Changfeng, what's going on?

"Look, I brought you some dishes from the mansion today, specially made to celebrate the imperial decree." Xu Changfeng pointed to the food box he brought back.

"Want to eat?" He coaxed softly, "I am willing to eat and bring you back next time."

"Oh, let's eat." Yun Changsheng wanted to hit the wall, he was five years younger than Xu Changfeng, but his face was full of deception, an immature appearance of only fourteen or five years old.

Seeing that Xu Changfeng didn't use anyone, he took out all the dishes by himself, and put them into a bowl for himself, Yun Changsheng ate them in cooperation.

Since Xu Changfeng likes to pamper himself and take care of him carefully, why should he reject people thousands of miles away and do such disappointing things.

To be honest, Yun Changsheng himself enjoyed it quite a bit in his heart, unlike his grandpa who loved him so much, Xu Changfeng always gave him a touch of sweetness.

He was enjoying himself very much, his sweet eyes were full of joy, and he accidentally couldn't control it, and asked Xu Changfeng, "Are you short of money?"

"What?" Xu Changfeng was concentrating on removing crabs for him, and was startled when he heard the sensitive word "yinzi".

Yun Changsheng looked at the dishes on the table. They were his favorite meat and seafood. These were not cheap. According to the Duke's mansion, which is thrifty now, they would not cook these dishes.

He pointed and said, "Give me these, does anyone have any objections?"

"Naughty." Xu Changfeng was dumbfounded.

Laughing, his subordinates kept saying, "Grandpa wants to invite you over. I told you that the weather is too hot and I don't want you to make a hard trip. That's why I brought back these dishes you like."

"If you are willing, I will take you back to have a banquet together on the first and fifteenth day of junior high school in the mansion," Xu Changfeng said.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Changsheng said: "You see if you need it, I have nothing here."

It's a matter of time to go to the Duke's Mansion by yourself, so it's better to get acquainted with it in advance, after all, those bad people can't come out in the back house.

They want to be a monster again, or take over the general affairs of the Duke's mansion and have the housekeeping power, that's something that they don't have to think about.

"We'll go back after that." Xu Changfeng saw that he didn't resist, and his smile became more gentle in his heart. "My brothers and sisters also like you, especially Changhong and Changfan. They always ask why you don't go to the teahouse to play."

"They are really good." Yun Changsheng had a good impression of his younger brothers, "It's a pity not to go into official career."

After saying this, both of them remained silent. Which powerful family would allow their children to go into business, the Xu family had nothing to do with it.

"Here." After eating, Yun Changsheng impulsively stuffed a large amount of silver bills into Xu Changfeng, "Take the money and use it. Working in the palace is not like other places. Human relationships cannot be underestimated."

"Spend what you want, don't be reluctant." Yun Changsheng instructed: "If you have nothing to do, invite your colleagues to go out for a drink and make more connections. Don't take it seriously."

"In this world, money is more important than favors." Yun Changsheng stopped Xu Changfeng's rejecting hand, "I don't lack money, you just spend it."

"Me." Xu Changfeng was at a loss for words, he was indeed tight now, but he couldn't take Yun Changsheng's money again and again, "There is no shortage of money in hand."

"Not lacking, not willing to spend." Yun Changsheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He is too upright and doesn't know how to adapt, and it is even more difficult to survive. "These are for your relationship, and you keep those for your own business. .”

"Angry?" Xu Changfeng noticed that Yun Changsheng's tone was wrong, he held his shoulder and turned his head to himself, observing Yun Changsheng's expression.

"I'll take the money, you can rest assured that nothing will happen in the palace." Xu Changfeng looked at Yun Changsheng's clear eyes full of doubts, and paused, "I know how people deal with each other, so I won't ignore this."

Xu Changfeng was helpless, Yun Changsheng sometimes acted like a child, and sometimes he was smart and well-versed in the world, so he couldn't figure out what kind of character Yun Changsheng was.

"It's good to know." Seeing him compromise, Yun Changsheng knew that he wanted to change Xu Changfeng's gentleman's mentality, and his straight eyes without rubbing the sand.

There are still grinding to and fro.

"1 taels." Xu Changfeng looked at the stack of bank notes in his hand, feeling heavy. He thought that this must be the property left by Dr. Yun to his grandson.

Now being easily given to him by Yun Changsheng, he was moved and comforted, but he also felt distressed. According to his own observation, Yun Changsheng's life should be said to be rough and simple.

But he gave these banknotes to himself without any distress, and Xu Changfeng once again felt that he must not let him down, and he would protect him behind him for the rest of his life.

……

Not long after, as Yun Changsheng guessed, every movement of the emperor had a purpose.

Especially for the Duke's Mansion, where there is any sympathy, it is entirely out of self-interest to make changes.

If you can't be punished and regain military power, you won't be allowed to touch him again, but you are still suspicious and unwilling, and you always hold him tightly in the palm of your hand, like a puppet, let him flatten and round.
