The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

The next day, Yan Xun went to court as usual, and asked the emperor to transfer King Wu'an from Sichuan to the capital.

Before the emperor said anything, Bai Yu was the first to stand up to object, saying: "Historically, the defense at the border is changed every four years. King Wu'an has only been in Sichuan and Sichuan for more than two years. General Yan has to recall King Wu'an in advance if there is something urgent Come? You must know that you have set a precedent here, if others follow suit in the future, it will be changed every year or two, and it will be a mess, how to manage it?"

Yan Xun knew that Bai Yu was angry with him, and deliberately wanted to sing a different tune, but what he said was reasonable and reasonable, and Yan Xun could not refute it.

They were competing, everyone knew it well, the emperor sighed secretly, and said: "Then Yan Aiqing, why did you call King Wu'an back in advance?"

Yan Xun didn't explain, but instead said: "If this is inappropriate, please order me to go to Sichuan and Shu. It's not that I am causing trouble, but some important family matters need to be discussed with my father face to face."

Bai Yu said again: "Going to Sichuan and Sichuan will take two or three months at the fastest, plus the time spent there, if there is a war in the middle, how will the general plan to deal with it?"

Yan Xun couldn't help turning his head to look at him, and then said silently, "I'm not the only general in Dazhou."

"You are the head of a military general. How can you be more responsible than other generals? Civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty have family affairs, but no one would put family affairs before state affairs, right?" Bai Yu said slowly, "'For the general A person, on the day he receives an order, he forgets his family; when he is restrained by the emperor, he forgets his relatives; when he holds a drum and breaks a stone, he forgets himself.' Isn’t this what the general himself said?”

Yan Xun lowered his eyelids, his eyes were like a bottomless sea.

The two men fought again, and the officials seemed to be watching a play, nervous and excited.

Yan Xun finally showed his final trump card, "This may be the last time between father and son, I hope the emperor will allow it."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.But naturally, no one would think that Yan Xun's life as a son is not long.

"King Wu'an is ill? Is it serious?" The emperor leaned forward slightly and asked with concern.

"The specific subject can only be known after seeing his father." Yan Xun kowtowed to Yan Jun ten thousand times in his heart, and then asked Bai Yu, "Can the prime minister understand this?"

Bai Yu pursed her lips and retreated to her original position.

The emperor made a decision: "If King Wu'an can still get up, take him back to Beijing for treatment. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are the best. In addition, the candidate to replace the border guards in Sichuan and Sichuan is...Dong Ci, you can go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Xun thanked En, and returned to his original position to stand.

The world has been peaceful recently, except that Ye Luo has just returned to rule and there are still some things that have not been dealt with, other things are no big deal.The morning court ended soon, and the ministers went to the car in twos and threes, and Bai Yu was the only civil official who accompanied the general.

"I don't believe his nonsense." Bai Yu said.

Neither Qin Ran nor Mu Fengyi knew what he was talking about.

"Princess Chunyi and I have been exchanging letters. She never said that King Wu'an was uncomfortable."

Mu Fengyi said: "However, the general is very good, and he will not curse his father for no reason."

"I reckon something is going on here." Bai Yu glanced in Yan Xun's direction, just in time to meet Chunyu Jing's gaze beside him.

Chunyujing never liked him, and she always looked at him with indifferent eyes, but this time there was something weird that couldn't be said, as if she wanted to say something, but she was awkward and refused to say it.

"How is your relationship with Chunyujing?" Bai Yu asked.

"It's just an ordinary fellow-robe relationship, not particularly close," Qin Ran said.

"I think he knows everything."

"Does Your Highness want us to ask him?" Mu Fengyi asked.

Bai Yu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Yan Xun won't say anything unless he gives permission."

Mu Fengyi asked curiously: "Why haven't His Highness and the General reconciled yet? Didn't I hear that Jiuhuaqiu was back?"

"I asked, but Yan Xun said no. Wei Shiba also took people around every day to look for it."

Qin Ran didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said at this moment: "According to the days, is it time for Yuchi Yuanhe to come back? I don't know how he is at the border."

"I went to see him twice, and he's very good. He has a lot of money to take care of things, and he hasn't suffered much."

Mu Fengyi hesitated and said: "Yuchi Yuanhe and the last general did the same thing, but he was the only one who was sent to the border. This is because of the general, and Ye Zhiyan's death is also because of the general. He has offended His Highness before. Speaking of which, does he have a deep grudge against the General?" He paused, and then quickly added: "The last general is not gossip, but if he comes back, His Highness and the General will still have to deal with each other more or less." Be careful."

Bai Yu nodded, accepting his kind reminder.

It's a pity that he didn't pay much attention to Mu Fengyi's words at the time. Looking back many years later, he realized that many twists and turns after that came from this small negligence.

These days, Yuelao and Songzi Niangniang are probably working hard, and there are a lot of happy events.

The queen's birthday is approaching, and she is happy again after being diagnosed; there is also news from Yu Ze that Huangfu Zheng gave birth to a baby boy not long ago; I heard that Ruan Haoyue married Yuan Kai; The concern is that Mu Fengyi is about to get married.

Mu Fengyi's wedding banquet Yan could not be found, and only doubled the congratulatory gifts.Yan Xun's official position is higher than Mu Fengyi's, so it's not surprising whether he goes or not.

He married Dong Ci's younger sister Dong Weixi.This girl has been obsessed with her brother's good friend for many years, and she will never marry anyone else, and she has become an old girl for life.Mu Fengyi was nearly forty years old, and some kind of tendon was suddenly hooked up, which made him a family.

Dong Ci said that Dong Weixi is very virtuous, gentle and considerate, which is really true.How considerate was she? She knew that she was no longer young and not suitable for childbearing, so she brought three beautiful concubines of seventeen or eighteen years old as a dowry, and asked Mu Fengyi to take them into the house together.

Others said that Mu Fengyi married a good wife and was very lucky, but Qin Ran was a little afraid that they would repeat his mistakes.Mrs. Qin gave birth to Qin Yao reluctantly in her 30s, and her body was greatly damaged, so that she died in her 40s.

Dong Weixi was also very considerate about this issue. She asked the doctor to prescribe a decoction for avoiding children. The original words were: "The concubine is no longer young, and I only want to grow old with my husband. The children born to the concubine's house are naturally treated as my own. Taking good care of her will definitely not make my husband suffer alone."

To put it simply, it is three words: "I am not born".

After listening to Qiu Ye's experiences outside, Bai Yu said with emotion: "This Mrs. Mu has a very special temperament, different from ordinary women."

"That's right, Dong Ci and his parents don't treat her like ordinary boudoir daughters. It is reasonable to say that a girl can get married at the age of 16, and she will be gossiped when she is [-] years old. But Mrs. Mu is a girl who doesn't like red makeup and loves weapons." She is such a straightforward girl, she doesn't care what other people say. She said she won't marry someone else, and she really waited until now."

"It's not just her insistence. If she didn't have such enlightened parents, she probably wouldn't be able to wait until today." Bai Yu rubbed the heads of the two little girls beside her and said with a smile, "From now on, Shunhua and Shunying, no matter what they want to do I support them all. Even if I don’t marry for the rest of my life, I won’t persecute them at all, I just want them to live happily and freely. Why can’t women’s fate be controlled by themselves.”

Qiu Ye guessed that he was thinking of his mother and concubine, so he calmed down and didn't bother him.

Bai Yu's thoughts drifted away, and she suddenly said, "Mu Fengyi is married, you..."

Qiu Ye's expression tightened when he heard the words, and he quickly thought about how to prevaricate.

Bai Yu paused, then continued: "You... go and ask him if he lacks anything. He has added four wives and concubines at once, and the expenses are quite a lot."

Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then retreated in a low voice.

Bai Yu looked at his back and let out a long sigh.

And there was another happy event that Bai Yu didn't know about, and that was Yan Zun's recovery from illness.

The treatment in the past two years has worked, Yan Zun has gradually improved, and now he has fully recovered, no different from a normal person.

He was not very depressed, nor did he look for death or life, but just lived in such an ordinary way, treasured a few old clothes left by Tang Jinzhi, and redeemed his pawned piano.His appearance will always be engraved in memory, vivid on the drawing paper, but unfortunately there is nothing to keep his voice, Yan Zun will never hear that person Yiyi calling him "Rong Ling" again.

So Yan Zun regards all the most beautiful sounds in the world as him, such as the singing of Liuying in Shangyuan, or the singing of colorful phoenix in Danshan.

Yan Xun treated him fairly well, never mentioned the past, and never blamed him.Maybe it's because they are brothers after all, and their fate is almost at an end.

"Do you have any wish?" Yan Xun asked him.

Yan Zun shook his head lightly, "If you have a wish, you can only put it in the next life." After a pause, he said again: "Brother, I'm sorry for you."

"I didn't lose anything because of you, you hurt yourself and elder sister." Yan Xun said.

"I have harmed a lot of people, many, many." Yan Zun laughed at himself, "I've been a joke all my life, and I don't even know what I'm plotting."

"The past is over, and you still have a chance to start again. In the days to come..." Yan Xun glanced at him, and suddenly became gentle, "You don't have an official position, but fortunately, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home. Those few days This child can only be called your uncle now. When they grow up, it will not be too late to tell them the truth slowly. The position of the general is up to them to fight for themselves, and good friends will help. In the future, when parents grow old , you have to support this family."

Yan Zun felt strange when he heard it, and asked Yan Xun with suspicious eyes.Yan Xun pretended not to see it, and turned his gaze elsewhere, "King Liang has two daughters, both of which are yours. They are all very cute."

Yan Zun's attention was immediately diverted, and he asked curiously, "Why did Big Brother and King Liang come to this point?"

Yan Xun said without hesitation, "I changed my mind."

Yan Zun didn't ask any more questions, and after struggling for a while, he suddenly said, "Brother, I was the one who killed Wanwan back then."

Yan Xun's eyelids twitched, and he nodded quickly, "I guessed it."

Yan Zun lowered his head and covered his face, his voice muffled in his hands, "Wanwan is going to Sichuan and Sichuan to find the King of Liang, and my father ordered someone to chase her back. I, I told Zhu Sha about this, she... the King of Liang knows Yet?"

"He thought it was his father's order."

"I want to tell him the truth."

Yan Xun looked at him for a long time, then said softly, "Let's talk about it later."
