For the emperor

Cang Tiansu used the Tiger Talisman to open the way, and the generals from all walks of life worked together, Prince Cheng's rebellion was quickly suppressed, the flames of war almost spread to the imperial capital, and countless towns were looted.The future recovery work is the top priority.

Cang Tiansu closed the imperial decree in his hand, raised his toes and touched Duan Yu's head in a good mood: "I can return to Beijing tomorrow."

Large and medium-sized cities lined up for fifteen miles to meet each other, and small cities lined up for ten miles to meet each other. This is a great honor and a great disaster. It depends on whether he, the commander, has the ability to turn things around.

Duan Yu compared the heights of the two of them, and he was more confident about turning himself into the master, and said happily: "At least after a few years of hard work, I can inherit Daddy's official position in good faith."

After today's celebration banquet ended, Li Renqiang secretly pulled Duan Yu over and analyzed the future situation for him.Because it involves too much, this matter cannot be said clearly, so the wording is too euphemistic.

The "Stupid Dahan" major general didn't understand much, but at least he remembered the important point: once he returns, Cang Tiansu, as the commander in chief, is also a dignified prince. Prince.

According to the rules of the Cang Kingdom, the prince never leaves the capital, and there is no reason for a serious commander to play remote control commands far away from the army. Once Cang Tiansu is crowned king, the position of General Zhenbei will definitely be vacant.

The four commanders of the Northwest Army, Zhu Erda had already received a lunch box for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and Xu Xing had just been rectified and was acting with his tail between his legs.

Li Renqiang also said that he did not have any outstanding achievements, so he would hold on to his current position without changing it. Although the title of General Zhenbei cannot be hereditary, after all the calculations among several people, there is still a high possibility that it will fall to Duan. in Feather's hands.

General Li made a hint, emphasizing to Duan Yu that as long as he hugs Cang Tiansu's thigh tightly, he will have the help of the eldest prince to deal with him when he takes over the official position.

What Li Renqiang didn't say clearly was that Cang Tiansu worked hard in the Northwest Army for several years, and put in a lot of nails. As long as the emperor didn't play tricks, the future trend of the Northwest Army would depend on Cang Tiansu's will.

Restricted by the current domestic situation, these [-] experienced soldiers will be a protective shield against enemy attacks in the next few years.It is impossible for Emperor Cang Jing to let the Northwest Army disarm and return to the fields to farm in order to prevent the generals from embracing their own self-respect like the previous few times.Before the domestic economy recovers by half or six, the [-] Northwest Army will still be a large whole, and there is no possibility of major changes.

Cang Tiansu and his father are not of the same virtue, and they don't like the trick of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. Besides, the little guy is currently short of manpower, so he really lacks help. As long as Duan Yu keeps his own place, the 20 army in the Northwest will continue the tradition that has been maintained for the past [-] years.

The boss of the royal family, the second child of the Duan family.

Seeing that his father's order was about to be fulfilled, the major general was overjoyed, and couldn't help biting his wife-to-be's face, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Susu, I'll follow you tomorrow, okay?"

Duan Yu almost couldn't wait to let the people of Cang Kingdom see the style of the Northwest Army, thinking that tomorrow he would receive the greatest respect from a soldier, he was so happy that he could hardly find Bei.

"General Li will take the lead tomorrow, and you and Xu Zhi will walk behind him side by side." Cang Tiansu poked his forehead lightly with his fingers, "I will ride behind you in the carriage."

"Why?" Duan Yu didn't expect his daughter-in-law-to-be to avoid such an honorable show, habitually raising her hand to scratch her head.

Cang Tiansu is very self-aware. Before the major general came back, he took a look at his current appearance in the bronze mirror. He felt that he had no deterrent effect. "It's better to take a horse-drawn carriage honestly and clean up all the military affairs that have accumulated during the past ten days of disappearance.

Furthermore, he has been in the limelight for the past few years. On the surface, he seems to have a lot of glory, but in fact he is walking on thin ice.Now my father is in the prime of his life, alive and well. As the son of the Tian family who is most likely to be suspected, he is the eldest son and has military power in his hands. When it is time to restrain himself, he must be smart and playful.

This time, Emperor Cangjing staged such a big battle to give face to the soldiers of the expedition, and to make up for the faint rift between the two sides in the Liuyan Temple incident.Naturally, Cang Tiansu had to be careful not to hand over the pigtails to the other party and let others manipulate them.

What's more, walking all the way from the northwest to the imperial capital, the voices and appearances of more than a dozen generals are exposed to the public.Anyway, they still have to go back to the Northwest in the future, and there is little chance for ordinary people to see them. Cang Tiansu probably wants to stay in the capital often, but he doesn't want to be surrounded by people and look like a monkey when he goes out.

He picked out what he could say, and briefly explained the ways to Duan Yu. He estimated that he would be on his way tomorrow, so he must have a good rest tonight. An incense stick was lit in the stove to help sleep.

White horses and red tassels, golden bells and silk, pennant canopy, flags fluttering, tasseled guns standing upright, the honor guard of thousands of people is so mighty that it can't be seen, let alone the [-] soldiers who came behind.The gates of the imperial capital were wide open, and both sides of the official roads in the city were crowded with people stretching their necks.

Standing in front of the imperial city, the second prince of Cang Kingdom, who was welcoming the triumphant army on behalf of the king, squinted his eyes and looked ahead. After waiting for two hours in silence, he finally saw brown and black city gates slowly opening and closing.

More than a dozen soldiers came back in the sun on their horses, their silver armor and long swords shining brightly, and their bodies were covered with invincible glory.

Cang Tianci selectively ignored the dozen or so people who were walking in the front, and walked down the steps with a smile only after the curtain of the only carriage was lifted and the commander of the Northwest Army in brocade clothes came down from above.

"...you have changed." After seeing clearly the appearance of the person in front of him, Cang Tianci, who was holding the imperial decree, was taken aback for a moment before stepping forward to support the elder brother who got off the car to salute. Disappointed.

Four years of military career, life-and-death battles, he has changed so much, and it is not only his eyebrows and eyes that are gradually growing that make Cang Tianci feel strange.

Cang Tiansu didn't seem to realize it, and after slightly bending down to signal, he stood still on top of Li Renqiang.The generals of the Northwest Army lined up, and the rest of them were all in armor, but he, the commander, was wearing brocade clothes.

Cang Tianci lowered his head to conceal his disappointment, climbed onto the high platform again, unfolded the long scroll of the imperial decree, and read it out word by word.

Because the emperor is still ill, the matter of rewarding officials and conferring titles has not yet been decided. From the commander to the adjutant, according to the rank, everyone has real money, mansion and real estate.

After all the rewards, Lin Lin said it all together, and it took half an hour for the soldiers to drink the imperial wine.At the end, Cang Tianci raised his voice slightly, and read out the last article in the imperial decree.

"The decree, Duan Yu, the major general of the Northwest Army, has made great achievements in battle and has an extraordinary character. I am very happy to allow Princess Yangnuan to marry and bestow the post of captain-in-law."

As soon as this remark came out, the scene was dead silent.

More than a dozen generals squinted at Cang Tiansu's face.Just kidding, after all these years in the military camp, everyone here is a fine person, no one can see that there is ambiguity between the two juniors.

Who is Princess Yang Nuan?Emperor Jing's eldest daughter, who is four years younger than Cang Tiansu, is just twelve this year.According to common sense, no matter how outstanding Duan Yu is, Emperor Jing would not marry his daughter to a man who is eight years older than her.

This decree clearly means that the princess is going to marry, but in secret it is clearly intended to beat the mandarin ducks—Emperor Jing almost pointed at his nose and asked——as the eldest brother, do you have the nerve to rob your sister for a man?

The commander of the Northwest Army, who was being slandered and watched the joke by his subordinates, did not lift his eyelids, and thanked him calmly.With the combined strength of Li Renqiang and Xu Shan, Duan Yu, who was struggling to get up, was gagged and pushed back.

In fact, Cang Tiansu was not as sad about Duan Yu getting married as the major general himself.The gentleman's agreement between him and Duan De is there. Duan Yu will find a woman to carry on the family line sooner or later. Although he comes earlier than expected, he has already made up his mind and the impact is not too big.

The point of Cang Tiansu's entanglement is that this woman is not only his younger sister, but also the eldest princess of this dynasty.

What is a Prince Consort?The abbreviation consort is not a special title for "a person who married a princess" as most people think, but a real official title. Not only is there a serious monthly salary, but it is also a vain job.

——This indicates that Duan Yu will be an official in the future, and his only task is to coax his wife to have children.

There has never been an emperor who lacked a general who charged into battle in the past dynasties, and he couldn't throw his son-in-law to death on the battlefield. It is really unpleasant to have a princess who has become a widow in the court.

If a civil servant becomes a son-in-law, at least he can be a courtier, write poems, paint pictures, and amuse birds. Finally, he has something to do.Generals like Duan Yu simply nest in the house to grow moldy mushrooms, eat and drink enough to wait for death every day.In the tradition of the Cang Kingdom, concubines belonged to internal officials and could not interfere in government affairs, not to mention going to the battlefield, even in the capital.

Cang Tiansu really can't figure out what kind of deep hatred Emperor Cang Jing has with the Duan family. It's not counting the old man who beat around the bush and killed him, but he clearly promised not to kill the younger one, but secretly used tricks to ruin a good man. .

A son-in-law who married a princess cannot take concubines, and the child born cannot be regarded as belonging to the same family. Even if the son-in-law has the surname, it must be counted among the royal staff and included in the royal jade plate.

Duan Yu was the only child of the Duan family, Emperor Cang Jing played it beautifully, not only broke Cang Tiansu's arm, but also completely eliminated Duan's lineage which had a great influence in the army.It's easy and effortless, and I still have to thank you. The emperor's grace is so great that you can make a dignified princess condescend to marry you.

When the generals dispersed, Xu Chen dragged and dragged Duan Yu away, Li Renqiang and Cang Tiansu walked side by side, approached quietly, and wrote the word "Kill" on the back of his hand.

General Li carefully discerned Cang Tiansu's expression, trying to find out what attitude this person had.It's a pity that the other party doesn't like oil and salt. He wrote a single word, from the corners of his eyes and brows to the upward curvature of his thin lips, and even the brightness of the flashing streamer in his eyes, there was no change at all.

Li Renqiang frowned.

Princess Yangnuan is still young, she is 15 years old, and there are still three years to prepare for the princess to marry. He can't just watch Duan De's hard work go to waste. The only solution is to get rid of the eldest princess as soon as possible, once and for all.

Emperor Jing had many sons and few daughters.The second princess is only eight years old this year. When she becomes an adult, Duan Yu will be 27. No matter what, the princess of a country will not have anything to do with an old man who is 12 years older than her.

Could it be that the royal princess can't get married, or is the young general the only young talent in the entire Cang Kingdom?Even if Emperor Jing could afford to lose this person, the royal family would not agree.

There was no talking all the way, the two parted ways at the corner, Li Renqiang turned right to the newly awarded mansion, Cang Tiansu went straight into the imperial city, and returned to Zhaori Hall after four years of absence.

The maids, eunuchs, and guards have all changed a batch, and there are all kinds of supplies inside, neat, spacious and bright, different from the bleak and desolate one when he left, all of them are placed with the objects bestowed by Emperor Cangjing, it is really luxurious dazzling.

None of the people around was clean, anyway, the Prince's Mansion would be finished in a few days, Cang Tiansu didn't bother to clean it up, took a hot bath, lay down on the soft three-layer quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Li Renqiang's proposal can be said to be the only solution at present.The method is naturally good, but because of the only one, not only he can think of it, but also Emperor Jing who pretends to be dead in bed and pretends to be dead can also think of it.

Cang Tiansu has been away from Beijing for many years, and the people in the imperial capital cannot be compared with the emperor no matter what. If he wants to kill a princess without anyone noticing under Cang Jinglan's deliberate protection, he is still a very favored eldest princess. I admit that I don't have this ability yet.

This kind of thing needs to be concealed. If people can easily find out, or even let people have substantive evidence, they will be inferior, and they are really asking for a dead end.He would rather stand still than fight to the death with the power of the Duan family.

According to his usual style before, Emperor Cang Jing will definitely leave himself a way out on purpose when it seems to be a dead end. It depends on whether he has the ability to break through layers of confusion and find the loopholes in one fell swoop.

Cang Tiansu had dealt with many people, and the one who was most confused was the unpredictable Emperor Cang Jing.The other party took pleasure in making trouble for him, one step at a time, one sentence at a time.

From Liu Yansi's delay in military rations, it can be seen that the emperor of a country thinks differently from ordinary people. He would rather harm others than benefit himself, and never make him feel better.

Why are you doing this?

The eldest prince of the Cang Kingdom, who felt that he had nothing to offend his father, felt a little aggrieved. He hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he had already heard voices from outside.

"Elder Prince, it's too bad, someone from the Prudential Department wants to arrest you for interrogation!" Someone outside shouted, Cang Tian was not in the mood to remember the many characteristics of the group of people who just dangled in front of him, so naturally he didn't Find out whose voice it is.

The "seriously ill" Emperor Jing had just issued an imperial decree to hand over the power to the uncle of the country, and before a stick of incense, someone clamored to come to the door.Cang Tiansu opened his eyes, and twitched the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

——and playing the trick of framing and scapegoating, are you all bored?
