Sir, I can do it!

Three years ago at Beidi Kouguan, Beiyan and Qi State reached a temporary reconciliation and concentrated on fighting the enemy.The next year, the weather in the north was smooth, the grasslands were full of grass and horses, and Beidi was restored to life.Beiyan is afraid that Beidi will make a comeback, so he is waiting for death.

Wei Ru wrote to the imperial court that Dao Bei Di was fighting hard and mobilizing horses, and his heart to plot the Central Plains would not die. It is not appropriate to start a war with Bei Yan at this time.

No matter what happens in the DPRK and China, there will always be a few discordant voices.So some courtiers said: "Last year, when Beiyan and Beidi fought in a melee, Zhen Guohou said the timing was wrong. This year, Beidi will not invade Beiguan, and Zhen Guohou still said that it is not appropriate to attack. I am afraid that Zhen Guohou will support his troops and have other ideas."

Yuan Yu, who was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War last year, retorted: "Before Beiyan established an alliance with Qi, and they would not invade Shuobei for more than [-] years. Now that the deadline for the alliance has expired, last year our Qi State was Chen Bing Shuobei. Beidi took aim at Qi State With the tense relationship with Beiyan, we will naturally seize this opportunity. Now that Beidi has a strong army and the Weinan issue has not yet been resolved, it is indeed not appropriate to go to war."

A courtier said: "Beidi was imprisoned by the disaster, and Beiyan fought against Beidi. My lord said that it is not appropriate to go to war. Now the situation is different, and my lord still says it is not appropriate to go to war. I really don't know when is the right time to go to war."

Yuan Yu glanced at him, and said slowly: "Fights are fickle, so it's not good to speculate."

At that time, the Pingnan Army of Qi State attacked Weinan and defeated Yilan Mountain, and Nanliang was ready to move behind.Li Huai then recalled the Pingnan Army, and ordered Lu Da to lead the army to Suixue Pass to frighten Nanliang.After that, Wei Ru was agreed to submit a petition and ordered his father and son to continue guarding Shuobei, with Wei Ru guarding Shuozhou and Wei Xuan dividing his troops to guard Yunzhou.Han Qing, the former defender of Yunzhou, was transferred to Dongguan by Li Huai to prevent Dongyue from taking advantage of the situation and going south.

Today, Emperor Nanliang is weak, and domestic struggles are gradually becoming more intense.Although Dongyue intends to enter the army, but with Han Qing and Fei Yun around, Dongyue dare not act rashly.As for Beiyan, there was Qi State in the front and Beidi in the back. At this time, he could only behave as a man with his tail between his legs, let alone dare to make big moves.

However, Wang Yi has been active in Weinan for many years. At this time, the inside of Weinan has been divided. The Feng family in Jeju is unpopular.So this is the best time to attack Weinan, and it depends on Wang Yi. The situation of attacking Weinan now is very different from two years ago.

It can be said that as long as the Feng family in Jeju is taken down in Weinan now, the forces in Weinan will naturally collapse.Whoever goes, as long as he is not a fool, taking down Weinan will be a great achievement.That's why there are so many people in the court who oppose the selection of Cui Feng as a general, and there are many families of generals among them.

But on the other hand, the family of generals who have made great achievements in conquering Weinan and have a little reputation do not want to make a big show and provoke suspicion from the top, so the willingness to disapprove is not very strong.On the contrary, the aristocratic families opposed fiercely, especially the Xie and Xiao families.

"Father, if the Xiao family agrees to recommend Cui Feng, my Xie family will not be able to stand alone in the court. If we continue to oppose it, I'm afraid it will only annoy the emperor."

Xie Hong smiled lightly and said: "The emperor has always disliked the nobles, and this is not a bad thing."

"Do you really want to watch the Cui family gain military power?"

Xie Hong laughed: "Whoever said that the military power belongs to the Cui family, it belongs to the emperor."

Xie Tao glanced at his father, and said, "It's as difficult as going to heaven to make them spit back the things that are in the Cui family's hands."

Xie Hong glared at him: "Do you still need to say that?"

Xie Tao felt a little aggrieved.

Xie Hong told him: "Our Xie family just kept a low profile for too long, so we didn't just die like this."

Xie Tao's mind immediately became active: "Then what father means is..."

Xie Hong waved the teacup in his hand, and pointedly said: "If there is turmoil in Huaizhong, does the emperor still have the intention to attack Weinan?"

"Huaizhong! Father wants to move Huaizhong?!" Xie Tao said loudly and urgently: "Huaizhong is the foundation of our Xie family..."

Xie Hong put down his teacup, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and raised his eyelids to look at Xie Tao.Xie Tao's words stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

"It is precisely because Huaizhong is the foundation of my Xie family, and at the same time, many nobles have taken root, so the temptation to the emperor will be even greater. Although Weinan has to be taken back, compared with Huaizhong, Weinan's interior has been festered, and there are original Zhou Wang is behind, so there is no rush."

"Although the Wang family may not have much respect for the imperial court, the current attitude towards Weinan is quite ambiguous. But no matter what, the Wang family will not make Weinan bigger, let alone bow down to Weinan. If Wang Yi's methods continue Be smart, maybe Weinan will collapse directly from the inside. At that time, the imperial court will only need to send a Xuanfu envoy to recruit peace, so there is no need to elect a general. Even if Cui Feng is the general, the credit will not be great , he has almost no chance to tamper with the army. In order to gain the emperor's trust even more, the Cui family will return the military power back with a smile even if they are unwilling in their hearts."

Of course, the civil strife in Weinan caused the people of several major prefectures to suffer from the consequences of the war, which is not what the Xie family has to consider.To do great things, someone always has to sacrifice.

Xie Hong continued: "And if there is chaos in Huaizhong, the balance maintained by several nobles in Huaizhong for many years will be broken, and there will be bloody storms if they fight. At that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will recommend Cui Feng as the general to pacify Huaihuai. In the midst of this, the Cui family will try their best to avoid it. Because the Cui family does not want to face so many nobles at the same time. But if the emperor wants to see the nobles fighting among themselves, the Cui family will not be happy."

Xie Tao suddenly realized, thought for a while, and whispered: "But since the fall of the Zhao family, the emperor's people have been stationed in Huaizhong. If we make moves, we may not be able to escape the eyes of the emperor."

Xie Hong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's just a group of blind people." He looked up at Xie Tao and said quietly: "My Xie family's power is deeply rooted in Huaizhong, but I still have to give up half of the land to balance it." The strife between the nobles. If Huaizhong can be completely taken over by the imperial court this time, the power in this world will not be at your fingertips."

Thinking about that scene, Xie Tao stroked his heart and took a deep breath.

Wei Zhao went to a grocery store in the east of the city to buy a bag of sugar.

After Wei Shuning, Qin Wu gave birth to a daughter named Wei Wuyou.Facing the name of Changle, it means that the two sisters have a safe and smooth life, and Changle has no worries.

This little niece also followed Wei Zhao's taste and likes sweets, but it's not easy to feed her too much.Occasionally, Wei Zhao would buy a small bag from a grocery store and keep it in a stash, and would give one to her every five days.The little girl can't cherish it.

This grocery store is a small shop run by Jiang's family. It is not big, but its business is booming on the main street in the east of the city.This candy is made from the Jiang family's secret recipe. It is not as sweet and greasy as ordinary candy, and it will hurt your teeth if you eat too much.There is a slight sweetness, and there will always be some sweetness in the mouth after eating.Wei Zhao also likes to eat.

"The third son is here!" The little boy greeted him with a smile, and pointed him very skillfully at the small jar on the counter, and said, "Our boss sent a new product today, which is a new taste of candy. The third son has a taste. Try it."

Wei Zhao twirled one, and the aftertaste was indeed sweet.He squinted at the boy: "Which owner brought it back?"

"It's the big boss's family, and my aunt is also back."

Wei Zhao's eyes lit up: "Why didn't Aunt Jiang come back and let me know in advance?"

The little guy scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "I don't know about the little one. Which flavor does the third son want, and the little one will wrap it up for you."

Wei Zhao casually pointed, and the boy quickly took the oiled paper bag and handed it over.

For more than three years, the Jiang family and Jiang Min returned to the family to take charge of the overall situation. They planned to return to Shengjing City after the family had stabilized, and continued to stay in the Zhenguohou Mansion to take care of Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke.Unexpectedly, Changsun Ke met Xun Yi in advance to confirm his identity. As soon as Jiang's assistant came back, the mother and son recognized each other quietly. Except for the masters and sons of the Houfu, no one else knew Jiang's identity.

The Jiang family knew what Changsun Ke was doing in private, and also knew the dangers and concerns of the Zhenguohou Mansion, so she decided to go back to Fengxi and act as an intermediary to connect the Zhenguohou Mansion and the Jiang family. With the cover-up of Mingtou and Changsun Ke, Jiang's business developed rapidly in just three years.In this way, no matter what the two of them want to do in the future, they will have Jiang's huge financial support.And the Jiang family can also develop rapidly under the protection of the two, and at the same time, they are not afraid of being discovered by Nanliang.

After the successful trial planting of sweet potato seeds in Xiangzhou Zhuangzi, the demand for sweet potato seeds surged, and it became Jiang's main source of income.But it is clear that both Wei Zhao and Changsun Ke are more inclined to high-yield rice and wheat seeds.I heard that people under Jiang's family have discovered new wheat seeds and are trying to plant them.Jiang Minzhi attaches great importance to this batch of wheat seeds, and almost every detail has to go through his hands.Ordinarily, he would not come back with Jiang Shi if there was no major event.

Wei Zhao stuffed the candy into his arms, and went home thoughtfully.

Wei Wuyou was smart, counting on her fingers that today is the day she eats sweets, so she sat on the steps of the Hou Mansion anxiously and waited.Changsun Ke stood beside her, his tall figure just covering the sun for her.

Wei Wuyou propped his head on his small hands and stared at Changsun Ke.Xu's gaze was too hot, Chang Sun Ke's whole body tensed up, his cold face was expressionless, and the concierge's legs trembled in fright.

Occasionally, he heard the voice of the little girl babbling, and Changsun Ke had black lines all over his head.I can't help but think deeply about myself, a demon who can stop children from crying at night, why this little girl is not afraid of him at all.

If Zhan Yi were here, he would definitely tell his lord with tears of bitterness that finally a girl discovered his beauty!After all, Zhan Yi used to secretly worry about the adults in his heart, Ming Mingjun was angry with everyone, but he was so cold and frightening that no woman dared to look him in the eye, for fear that his adults would not be able to marry a wife.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes coming from the entrance of the alley, Wei Wuyou swished his head away, his eyes burst out with extremely shining light.

Changsun Ke let out a long breath.

Wei Zhao jumped out of the car and met the bright eyes of his little niece, and suddenly felt that he was doing too much wrong to a girl by picking and searching like this.But there is no way, if a girl has broken teeth, she will not be pretty when she grows up.So there was no need for Qin Wu'er to give orders, and Wei Zhao himself would not give Wuyou too much sugar.

He stepped forward and hugged Wuyou in his arms, and said with a smile, "Where's your brother?"

Usually, Wei Yuan waits here with her, after all, that kid is also a sweet tooth.

Wuyou patted the small hairpin on his head aggrievedly, and complained: "Brother is bad, brother is going to unwrap presents, so I won't accompany Wuyou."

Wei Zhao immediately scratched her nose: "Isn't Uncle Changsun accompanying you?"

Wuyou smiled and narrowed his eyes, a suspicious blush crept up on his cheeks, nestled in Wei Zhao's arms and looked at Changsun Ke quietly.

Changsun Ke: ...

Wei Zhao tried his best to ignore Wuyou's eyes full of stars, but he still felt a little stuffy.Isn't he taller than Chang Sun Kejun!

He carried Wuyou and Changsun Ke into the courtyard side by side, and said, "Why did Aunt Jiang come back so suddenly this time?"

Changsun Ke gave an 'hmm', turned his head and saw Wuyou squinting at him, and when he met his gaze, he hurriedly moved his eyes elsewhere.

Changsun Ke had black lines all over his face, coughed, and said, "I haven't had time to ask yet. But judging by my mother's face, it doesn't seem to be a good thing."
