General of the Red Chamber

The emperor had just recovered from a serious illness, and his sanctuary was not in good condition, so he went to the palace in Loushan to recuperate.

When Qin Fan heard the news, he was poking Xiao Baozi's soft baby face with his fingers.The little guy was sleeping, and vaguely felt that someone was harassing him, and his little face was wrinkled to show his anger.But a certain person didn't know it, and he was very happy to tease him.

"How can you be so soft? As a man, he looks so white and tender." There was obvious disgust in his tone.

Looking at this scene, Wei Ruolan stood there dumbfounded, even forgot to close her mouth.Did your master hear what he reported just now?The emperor suddenly went to the palace, there must be something extraordinary, but his master didn't seem to care at all.

"Wow wow wow..." The little guy finally couldn't bear it anymore, and released his incomparably powerful crying skills.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far and near.Qin Fan pricked up his ears, and when the footsteps were getting closer, he quickly handed the little guy in his hand to Wei Ruolan, "Hold it quickly."

"Uh, oh." Wei Ruolan, who hadn't reacted yet, could only stretch out her hand in a daze, and hugged the little guy whose master was still in love with her just now and refused to let go.

"Wow wow wow..."

"It's not right for you to hold him like this. Look, it's because you don't hold him well that he cries." Qin Fan carefully carried the child in Qin Yin's hand back into his hands, and then coaxed him softly. Playing and teasing, just like a loving father and son.

When Daiyu came in, what she saw was such a scene, and the accusation that came to her lips was also taken back.

"I've seen Madam." Qin Yin saw Daiyu standing at the door, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"You're polite." Daiyu also returned a salute.

Qin Fan seemed to have discovered his wife suddenly, and walked to the door with the little bun in his arms, anxiously said, "Brother Wei just hugged her and cried, and I can't be coaxed."

"Ah," Daiyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Qin Fan to say that in front of others, so she could only forcefully smile, "Maybe I'm hungry, I'll carry it down for the nanny to see."

"Well, that's troublesome lady, but you must not starve Nuo'er anymore." The worry and love in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed.

The mother-in-law behind Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to take the little guy from Qin Fan's hand.

Daiyu clutched her handkerchief and smiled lightly, "As a father, you are more thoughtful than as a mother. Okay, I'll take it back first, so you can get together."

"Well, after the talk is over, I will go to accompany you and Nuo'er."

Watching the mother and son leave, Qin Fan turned around and took a sip of the cool tea on the table.When he faced Wei Ruolan again, he had another expression.

"Let the people in the palace prepare first. Within five days, the emperor must be in a hurry to return to the palace." At that time, even if there were obstacles in the way, the emperor's desire to return to the palace would not be stopped.

Wei Ruolan fell into the trap just now and hasn't recovered yet.After hearing Qin Fan's words, he finally came to his senses, "But now Qin Heng's side is making frequent moves, he dare not use troops openly, I'm afraid he will take advantage of the opportunity to do so during the few days when the emperor is away."

"If he has the heart, it depends on whether he has the guts. Although the Zhendong Army is obviously under his jurisdiction, except for the [-] soldiers and horses, most of the rest were born in the infantry battalion. Vice-General Qian was killed. , They dare not speak out, but if they really want to act against me without the emperor's official decree, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

"Then he secretly... this person is extremely sinister."

Qin Fan chuckled softly, "If he wasn't insidious, he wouldn't have been sent to suppress the Eastern Army that day. Qin Yin, the more insidious a villain is, the easier it is to control him. This is the way to employ people." Then he patted Wei Ruolan's shoulder.

"Don't worry, just wait another five days and everything will be over."

The emperor's driving had just arrived at the palace, and before he settled down, there was an urgent report from eight hundred miles away that Dongyi, the country in the eastern border, suddenly sent troops to fight against the Celestial Dynasty.Dongyi's deputy general had already been beheaded by Li Heng, and the main general Li Heng stayed in the capital for a long time and never returned.Now the Zhendong army has no leader, and it is retreating steadily.

When the emperor saw the urgent report, he was almost out of breath, and ordered repeatedly, "Go back to the palace, go back to the palace."

When the important officials in the court and central government were shocked by the bad news in Dongjiang, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.Didn't this Dongyi man keep his own place these past few years and pay tribute every year? Why did he suddenly meet me with swordsmen?He also thought of the great general Qin Fan who is sick in bed now, who else in the Celestial Dynasty can stop him.

"Your Majesty, the Dongyi people are about to cross the river and set foot on the land of our dynasty. Please give me your majesty's ruling." The ministers played one after another.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to order the Great General Qin Fan to lead the army again, and show off our celestial majesty."

"But General Qin has been ill in bed for many days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on the big job."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the whole court meeting suddenly became a commotion.

"Shut up!" the emperor shouted.

The sound of majesty shocked the officials, and all the officials shut up.

Liu Yuan, the new minister of the Ministry of War, said, "Your Majesty, Dongyi is coming to invade now, but General Li, who is the general of Dongyi, has stayed in the capital for a long time, so these thieves have an opportunity to take advantage of. I ask your majesty to let General Li hurry up. Quickly return to the camp and take charge of the overall situation."

As early as when Dongyi was in turmoil, the emperor had changed his mind, but... Qin Fan is still there!The plan to kill Qin Fan had just begun, but it was disrupted by the Dongyi people. It was a coincidence that the emperor felt that he was caught in a situation again at some point, unable to advance or retreat.

"I already know what all my lovers think, and you will step down first." Seeing that the emperor insisted on going his own way, they didn't dare to speak again, so they had to retreat one after another.

The chief eunuch Gao Dehai said, "The emperor has an order, and General Li Heng will have an audience with him in the imperial study."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Heng, then shook their heads, and walked out of the hall in groups.

In the imperial study room, the emperor casually smashed the white jade paperweight on the imperial case to pieces.Li Heng, who was on the side in shock, trembled slightly.

"One step away, just one step away!" Just one step away, you will have a chance to get rid of your lifelong confidant, damn Dongyi people! With a "bang", he punched the desk, and the finger in his hand was smashed to pieces, and blood flowed from the broken fingers.

"Oh, Your Majesty, send the imperial doctor quickly." Gao Dehai shouted hastily.

"Get out, get out of here for me."

Seeing this, Gao Dehai hurriedly led the palace people out of the palace.

Li Heng knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I will deal with Qin Fan first, and then go to Eastern Xinjiang."

"No," the emperor finally recovered his breath, and leaned against the desk, letting the blood on his hands continue to flow. "This is a time of foreign troubles. If something happens to Qin Fan at this time, I am afraid that the officials and the people will be in chaos. Now we must keep him and stabilize people's hearts." Let everyone know that no matter what time it is, there is a great general Qin Fan in the Celestial Dynasty. If you guard, you will be safe and sound.

"However, it's hard to guarantee his wolf ambition." Li Heng said anxiously.

"Don't worry, he's just a living dead right now, and he can't take care of himself. If he wants to fight against me again, I'm afraid he will be powerless." Picking up the wooden box on the case, he handed it to Li Heng, "Half of the tiger talisman inside, You can mobilize the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang, Li Heng, I can only let you take away 5 of the [-] people in Beijing this time. This battle is certainly dangerous, but if you can't even defeat the Dongyi people, the position of the general , I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public.”

Li Heng took the military talisman and said solemnly, "This humble minister takes orders, and I will definitely not fail the Holy Grace."

In Ningxiu Palace, Aunt Qing knelt in front of the Buddha statue, lying on the desk, quietly copying scriptures.

The emperor stood quietly for a while, and finally went to the case table and took the half-copied scriptures in his hands. "Qingxuan's temperament is still so quiet, if it is Huangjie, she must not be so patient."

Aunt Qing put down the brush in her hand, and without saluting, she stood up straight, turned towards the Buddha statue, knelt down and bowed three times before getting up.

"Your Majesty came late at night, could it be that he came to remember the old man."

The emperor put down the scriptures and sat on a chair beside him, "We used to be bosom friends after all, why don't you always look like this. Back then, you, Yongjia, and Zhen were best playmates. In the blink of an eye, things are changed.”

"Xiu wants to mention that person again." Aunt Qing sneered, "If it wasn't for Yongjia that day, how could Li Yuanqian... Your Majesty, you took advantage of the princess's trust in Yongjia and you to take the life of her most beloved person. Yongjia's death cannot be blamed on others!"

"Shut up, don't mention that person again." It was that person who took away her most beloved imperial sister, made her forget about the Celestial Dynasty, and went to the distant Western Shu, so that she could only meet her in her dreams .It's that person, Li Yuanqian, who deserves to die the most!

Aunt Qing said: "Your Majesty, whether I mention it or not, the princess will always have him in her heart."

"You..." Suddenly thought of something, the emperor suddenly showed a smug smile, "Hahahaha, even if the emperor loves him, but in the end the emperor still gave birth to an evil seed with another man. And the life of this evil seed is now at stake. in my hands."

"Really?" Aunt Qing showed a weird smile, but she didn't say anything in the end, she just knelt down in front of the Buddha and continued to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

The emperor himself was bored, stood for a while, then waved his sleeves and left.It won't be long before the life of that evil species will perish in my hands.

Only the soft sound of chanting sutras remained in the palace.When the emperor's figure was getting farther and farther away, Aunt Qing finally stopped and made a wish to the Buddha statue, "Buddha, what my disciple owes has already been repaid in my life. I hope the Buddha can hear my disciple's prayer and bless Li's bloodline." To be able to continue, the disciple is willing to pay with his life."

In the dim candlelight, the Buddha statue still looks at all living beings in the vast world with such compassion.

The military situation was urgent, and the next day, the emperor finally ordered General Li Heng of the Zhendong Army to rush to the eastern border immediately.

When Li Heng hurried past the east gate with 2 horses, he looked in the direction of the General's Mansion and thought, "One day, I will become the real master there."

Qin Fan was teasing his little bun at that time, and after hearing the news, he just ordered lightly, "Tell Dongyi, I don't want to see this person come back." Betrayers always have their end.

The little bun was teased by his father's rascal, and cried again, "Wow wow wow..."

And the hidden guards disappeared without a trace as early as the moment the crying started.
