The Major General's Country Wife

"My lord."

Yang He came in and reported, "Prime Minister He came to visit."

"Finally come out?" Xu Guogong sneered: "Open the gate, go to the ancestral hall and invite the golden knife out."

Yang He was startled, and stared blankly at Xu Guogong. After being scolded, he quickly stepped back and went to ask for the golden knife himself.

Xu Guogong got up, walked out of the study slowly, the three generations of imperial bestowed golden swords did not show up, many people have forgotten it!

Prime Minister He stood in front of the Duke's mansion, closed his eyes silently, and waited for the concierge to come in to make an announcement, wondering which mansion he went to and would be stopped at the door.

Now he can only suffer, and he is careless. He didn't expect that Xu Guogong would not give up this time, and it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Prime Minister He felt a little regretful. Knowing that his son would not be in danger, he thought about waiting for the Duke's mansion to come to him, but he didn't expect it to be a shame.

To come up with such a wicked way to force myself to come forward, it seems that this matter cannot be good, I just hope that it will not involve too much, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

From the previous determination that the Duke's government did not dare to make a fuss, to the current fear of throwing rats, he was already anxious, and he didn't know what price he would have to pay to suppress this matter.

"Squeak."

The gate of the Duke's mansion opened slowly, a young man ran out, a chair was placed in front of the gate, and then Duke Xu came out slowly.

Looking at Prime Minister He, Xu Guogong greeted with a half-smile: "Prime Minister He came to visit, I am ashamed to be the Duke of this country."

Afterwards, Da Ma Jindao sat down, watched Prime Minister He coldly without saying a word, and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

"Xu Guogong." Prime Minister He's face was gloomy, his eyes were too dark to see the emotion at the moment, "I don't know what this means?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Guogong said: "I dare not invite Prime Minister He into the mansion. If there is any good or bad, your Prime Minister's mansion will not destroy our Duke's mansion."

"Just because your son humiliated the Duke's mansion and didn't take advantage of it, he secretly murdered him. It's really terrible."

Xu Guogong "tsk tsk" was amazed, "Prime Minister He teaches his children and grandchildren like this, whoever dares to let you get started, wouldn't it be making yourself uncomfortable."

"Xu Guogong, enough is enough." Prime Minister He saw that the matter in front of him was not easy to solve, and he no longer entangled in other things, "It was the dog who was at fault, and the truth should make amends on his behalf. Just say what Xu Guogong wants."

Xu Guogong smiled lightly, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Prime Minister He came here for the second young master of your mansion? Celebrities don't say dark words, let's solve it together today."

"Xu Guogong be careful." Prime Minister He slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side, "There are some things that should be said or should not be said, and there is no need to remind me of the truth."

"Don't use these things to suppress me." Xu Guogong pointed to the people who were not far away from the Duke's mansion and looked at the people here, "My Duke is not these ordinary people, you still can't suppress it."

Prime Minister He was stunned, and said patiently again: "How does Xu Guogong want to solve it?"

"First, it is time to prepare military supplies at the border. This winter, there is no less than a penny and a grain of rice." Xu Guogong said: "Second, with Prime Minister He's faction, no one is allowed to attack the Duke's government, including fanning the flames."

"Don't Xu Guogong think it's too much?" Prime Minister He said coldly: "Military needs are found at the Ministry of Accounts, and government affairs cannot be suppressed by the truth. If there is a conflict, other requests will be difficult to achieve."

"Then see you at the court, and let the people of the world know why there is such an assassination this time." Xu Guogong looked indifferently, looked at Prime Minister He with disdain and said, "I gave you a chance, and my Duke also wants to see how Prime Minister He is doing." To turn the tide and save the second prince?"

"Xu Guogong." Prime Minister He stepped forward and said with a livid face, "Are you threatening the truth?"

"I can't talk about it." Xu Guogong smiled "hehe", "Going to court is what my country's lord hopes, but Prime Minister He may bear it? May the empress and the second prince bear it? Hahaha."

At this moment, Yang He hurried over, followed by two guards, carefully carrying a long knife covered with a piece of yellow silk.

"Prime Minister He." Xu Guogong glanced at the long knife covered with yellow silk, and sighed a little: "How many years have the treasures been covered with dust, many people should have forgotten, otherwise how dare they treat the Duke's mansion like this!"

Prime Minister He's eyes widened "suddenly", his eyes were unpredictable, and his mind went blank. How could there be yellow silk in the Duke's Mansion?

Taking it out so brightly and displaying it grandly in front of everyone, Prime Minister He knew that it would not be for people to see the former favor of the Duke's Mansion.

"Prime Minister He can report back to the emperor to find out the origin of this knife." Xu Guogong got up and said: "From the moment His Majesty the founding of the country bestowed it, this is the first time that it will see the light of day. The Duke of this country does not want this piece of yellow silk to have real value. The moment it was lifted."

"Yang He, hand over Young Master He and those guards to Prime Minister He." Xu Guogong ordered: "As for the other people and confessions, we should wait for Prime Minister He to fulfill his promise before handing them back."

As he spoke, he turned and returned to the mansion, without looking at Prime Minister He, there was no need to pay any more respect, and there was no need to say another word when it really got out of hand.

Only Prime Minister He was left staring blankly at the long knife with a confused expression on his face. He really didn't know that the Duke's Mansion still had this long knife.

But the dazzling yellow silk in front of him already showed the origin of this long knife, but why he didn't have the slightest impression, founding the country, founding the country!

At that time, their He family was still a poor family, and Prime Minister He smiled wryly. How could their He family be comparable in background, maybe even the Xu family might not be able to match it.

It is also a family of founding meritorious service. The Xu family has been stable for so many years. It is because of the presence of concubines that the royal family can feel at ease, but the Duke's Mansion cannot find any disadvantages.

It's no wonder that the emperor is planning everything, and wants to get back the military power. He must be vigilant in everything. A family of meritorious service that has no wrongdoing will definitely not be welcomed by the royal family.

Prime Minister He was full of thoughts, seeing his son He Feiwen coming out of the Duke's mansion, he just gave him a cold look, turned and left without any concern or greeting.

He Feiwen felt chills in his heart, he felt chills all over his body after being looked at, knowing that he would be an outcast in the future, but what can he do!

"Beast." As soon as he entered the mansion, Prime Minister He couldn't help but slap He Feiwen on the face in public, "You did a good job."

"Crack." He Feiwen tilted his head, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which showed how strong Prime Minister He was.

He silently endured Prime Minister He's anger, and let him be beaten and scolded without evasion, just for the sake that he could live in the Prime Minister's Mansion safely and soundly in the future.

Prime Minister He vented his anger after beating and scolding, his cold eyes didn't seem to be looking at his son, and he said in a deep voice, "Come to the study."

He Feiwen silently followed behind him, and as soon as he entered the study, he was reprimanded by Prime Minister He: "Kneel down."

He Feiwen knelt down obediently, without any objection or reluctance, just like a puppet at his mercy, without any anger of a living person.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Prime Minister He looked at him coldly, his tone was devoid of emotion, "One hundred and fifty, there must be no omissions."

"Yes." He Feiwen calmly told the reason of the matter, and the situation in the Duke's mansion these days, and reported it word by word.

It turned out that this matter was instructed by the second prince, because Xu Changfeng in the palace was against him, so he instructed He Feiwen to use the Wanghailou incident as an excuse to trouble Yun Changsheng.

As for the man in black, He Feiwen didn't know, but he had seen the Second Prince and others before, so he wasn't surprised when they appeared.

Prime Minister He's eyes were unpredictable, and his lips gradually tightened. He didn't expect that everything was the second prince's envoy. If it was publicized, the position of the crown prince might be displaced.

The study room was dead silent, He Feiwen knelt there without moving a bit, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Prime Minister He's eyes fell on him, "Don't have any contact with the second prince in the future, you can let him do such absurd things, it's really indestructible."

He Feiwen waited quietly, he didn't have any unrealistic ideas, and hoped that Prime Minister He would let him go, as long as he wasn't kicked out of the mansion, it would be thankful.

Sure enough, Prime Minister He spoke again and said, "Reflect carefully in your own yard, and don't take a step without my order. This is the last chance for you."

……

"What is that knife?" Yun Changsheng asked Xu Changfeng immediately when he came back in the evening.

Xu Changfeng saw that he was eagerly looking forward, his eyes were open and cute, he smiled and kissed him on the eyes first, and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry?

"I want to know." Yun Changsheng stepped back, blushing in embarrassment, looked at Si Zhu and Qiu Si, and said, "Let's set the meal."

"Yes." The two went down with a smile, knowing that their young master was shy.

Xu Changfeng went one step further, pulling Yun Changsheng into his arms, and said with a smile, "We are husband and wife, you have to get used to it."

"Hmph." Yun Changsheng twisted his body, without struggling, he gave Xu Changfeng a blank look, and said, "Your reserve is still a gentleman's style?"

"What does that have to do with husband and wife." Xu Changfeng said with a smile: "If you are in doubt, just pretend that I am just eating."

"Hahaha." Yun Changsheng laughed loudly. This was a phrase he often joked with Xu Changfeng, but he never thought he would learn it so quickly that he used it to tease himself.

"Daodaodao." Yun Changsheng reminded.

"It's just a deal." Xu Changfeng didn't hold back anymore, and told the origin of the knife bluntly.

It was the Duke's Mansion showing its sincerity to the royal family, saying that the Duke's Mansion had been guarding the border for generations, not participating in government affairs and not marrying the royal family, to show loyalty.

The first emperor of the founding of the country reciprocated, and bestowed a golden knife to show the royal favor, and passed it down as the Baoguo Duke's Mansion from generation to generation.

"But?" Yun Changsheng was puzzled, "Why is the royal family pressing each other so tightly? Isn't this knife useless at all, shouldn't it?"

"Because it has never appeared before, maybe many people don't know about it." Xu Changfeng said: "Maybe the current emperor may not remember it, after all, what happened almost a hundred years ago may be recorded in the Royal Secret Records, but who would check these for no reason. "

"Grandfather took out this knife, but what's the purpose?" Yun Changsheng already had the answer in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain.

"Grandfather doesn't want to bear it any longer. Ordinary officials' families have never been in such a situation as our Duke's Mansion." Xu Changfeng said: "Grandfather may want to completely eliminate hidden dangers in his generation."

"Is this knife only so useful?" Yun Changsheng said, "It's no different from the iron coupon in the book of pills, or the gold medal to avoid death?"

"This knife can kill people without guilt." Xu Changfeng said: "Either it is comparable to the iron certificates in the Dan Shu, or if there are those things, you can also convict the Duke's government, demote you as a commoner or confiscate your home and exile. If you want to die, it is very difficult. easy."

"But this knife can protect the Duke's government from suffering from these things." Xu Changfeng's expression was solemn, and his eyes looked at nowhere through the void.

"Grandfather has been patient all the time, because he doesn't want this knife to show up in the world. There is a secret and a promise here. The Xu family can't be untrustworthy and unjust."

He pinched Yun Changsheng's cheek, and said apologetically, "It's a matter of great importance, so I can't talk about it. Besides, my grandfather has other concerns. I'm afraid that because of this knife, the royal family will be even more jealous. If he spreads his anger elsewhere, it will implicate many people." .

"But let's just let it go, the second prince is really cheap." Yun Changsheng said, he still wanted to pull him off his horse, so that he would no longer be able to compete for the crown prince.

"Do you think that such a small matter can make the son of the middle palace suffer a complete defeat?" Xu Changfeng laughed, "Never underestimate the shamelessness of the royal family, and the fact that they don't keep their promises."

"But, am I focusing firepower for the third prince for nothing?" Yun Changsheng was still unwilling, looking at Xu Changfeng with dissatisfaction and aggrieved eyes.

"Don't blame grandfather, he has a lot of worries." Xu Changfeng reassured: "We can continue to do our own business, and it is no small matter related to the royal family, not to mention that we are going to fight against the emperor, and the court will definitely be an enemy."

"Tired, annoying." Yun Changsheng tilted his head, depressed.

How could he not know how difficult it is for what he is doing now, but it must be done, for the sake of Xu Changfeng and also for the sake of those loyal and kind people from being persecuted.
