What about the soft and cute bamboo horse I am a freshman?

Xu Zhang really wanted to put Liang Fang to death.

The army in the northern border was dissatisfied because the emperor sent Merong He back to Beicheng. Xu Zhang asked Liang Fang to take the Chen family's gold seal painting master to the northern border to appease him. It was tantamount to asking Liang Fang to block the northern border. Public grievances.

But can Liang Fang stop this?

Xu Zhang was supported by Liang's family. On the surface, Liang Fang also bears the name of a relative of the emperor. He went to the northern border to bear the anger of the northern army on Xu Zhang's behalf.

The northern border is high and the emperor is far away. The emperor only gave Liang Fang two golden seals with different intentions. In addition, Liang Fang is now weak and the northern border is in the frozen period. If Liang Fang dies there in an "accident", it is very likely to be.

Jin Shi clenched his fists tightly.

Liang Fang obviously knew about the emperor's intentions. In his letter to the Duke of Zhen, he bluntly stated that he needed the Duke of Zhen to send the Northern Wolf Guards to send him to the northern border. , the generals in the northern border should be able to take care of a little bit.

This was the emperor's temptation, and he had to respond.

"Then you are here today," Jin Shi looked at the three people in front of him, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Song's face became serious: "Your Majesty was bewitched by the villain and let the prince of the enemy country go. Now Beicheng has announced that he will leave the status of Damu's vassal state, and all sacrifices will come in vain. The letter of advice from the border general will be handed over to Beijing soon. "

"A letter of advice?"

"A letter of remonstrance to persuade His Majesty to stay away from villains."

Jin Shi's face changed: "The northern army wants to remonstrate?"

Liu Song said coldly: "If even the Lord of the country, His Majesty, has this attitude towards Beicheng, then what reason does he have for letting the soldiers and array painters in the northern border resist Beicheng's army?"

Jin Shi looked at the map on the table, pondered for a while, and then asked: "The Northern Army believes that the motive of His Majesty's release of Merong He is because of Concubine Chen?"

Not many people knew about the formation contract between the emperor and Merong He, and not many people knew that the emperor also had a weak ability to draw formations. They blamed all this on Chen Fei's instigation.

"Concubine Chen's natal family is in the tea business," Liu Song said, "Due to the business exchanges between Damu and Beicheng these years, tea is very popular in Beicheng. Even Pingfeng, the most inferior vegetarian merchant, can sell it at a high price. , so the Chen family hates Beicheng and Damu the most. I heard that Concubine Chen even advised His Majesty to open the gates of the eleven cities in the Qinya Mountains."

"Concubine Chen speaks to His Majesty?" Jin Shi frowned, "This is the harem interfering in politics."

Liu Song nodded: "Yes, so Concubine Chen was punished by the Queen Mother, but was pardoned by His Majesty. The relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother is now... relatively stiff."

Among the troops stationed in the Qinya Mountains, Duke Zhen has the highest prestige and speaks the most effectively, while the Painter in the army belongs to Beiya and is the influence of Liang Fang.

Rather than supporting Concubine Chen, the emperor feared Liang Fang and Zhen Guogong.

Even afraid of his own biological mother.

Jinshi thought it was ridiculous in his heart. An emperor who was so suspicious and suspicious of the forces that had been stationed on the frontier would not be emperor at all. Wouldn't it be better to go to the northern border by himself?

"They, no," Jin Shi looked at Liu Song, "The government of Zhen Guo and the prime minister's house want to carry the banner of 'Qing Jun's side' and clear the power of Concubine Chen's family?"

Lu Nianli and Liu Song looked at each other, and then Liu Song nodded.

"I grew up in the countryside since I was a child," Jin Shi said slowly, "I haven't studied any history books, but I have also heard some stories. What a good name will be left."

"The history books are all about the aftermath," Lu Nianli said suddenly, "If you let Your Majesty trust that concubine Chen, and let Prince Beicheng go back now, maybe later on, he will blow your Majesty's pillow wind and make Qinya Eleven City Also give it to Beicheng! Your Majesty is not a master of array painting, he doesn't know, but we all know that Mo Ronghe's ability is probably not inferior to Lan An's!"

At the mention of Merong He's name, Lu Nianli shivered uncontrollably. The feeling of being forced to pull the hostility in his body was really frightening. It seemed that he had become a stranger like that. Everything they do is based on their own extreme ideas.

And the most frightening thing about Mo Ronghe is his ability to dismantle formations. He can untie his own spirit seal with bare hands without Tu Yang, which has never happened before!

"But," Jin Shi asked with downcast eyes, "Did Concubine Chen only enter the palace in the past few years?"

Lu Nianli and Liu Song had a meal.

Jin Shi asked Liu Song, "If I remember correctly, you should have been in the Painting Array Division for a long time, right? Zhen Guogong's conquest of military power started a long time ago. Moreover, I don't know whether the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Has the Duke’s Mansion always had such a relationship, but judging from the acquaintance between you and Miss Lu when you were young, the two of you didn’t have a bad relationship when you were young, right?”

The house was quiet.

Lu Niannian doesn't remember very clearly what happened when she was a child, but her memory of Liu Song has always taken care of her big brother a lot.

"Yes..." Lu Niannian said, "It was after Grandpa became prime minister."

The emperor didn't like the two families getting close, so the two families had to be in a state of hostility, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

But even so, the emperor was still worried.

"Since Prime Minister Lu was promoted to the position of prime minister, his power has been emptied a lot." Jin Shi turned to Lu Nianli, "So Prime Minister Lu began to train his younger generations to enter the Department of Painting Array, because he knew that it was impossible for the Lu family to be in the court again. Something's going on."

The Lu family is a scholarly family. According to common sense, the descendants of the family should all take the imperial examination to become an official. It is unreasonable to keep sending the descendants to the Huazhen Division, even if they want to insert some Lu family's influence in the Tuzhen Division. , then Lu Nianli also entered the Beiya, why did he let the grandson of the Lu family recognize Yuanchu as the master and continue to walk the way?That child is different from Lu Nianli. Lu Nianli is the youngest son of the Lu family. He can follow his own hobbies. His older brothers are officials in the court. It's a pity that the court can stand in the Zhengyang Palace except Prime Minister Lu himself. Yes, only the eldest son of the Lu family, who is over forty years old, has only just reached the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. It can be seen with the naked eye that it is impossible for him to develop to the position of his father's prime minister.

"My eldest brother has been the servant of the Ministry of Rites for ten years." Lu Nianli's tall and straight figure was a little tired, "I watched him go from being ambitious to now living in a daze, and sometimes he was so busy that he didn't go home for a long time. After many years of marriage I have no children. My little nephew was not born until a few years ago. At that time, he had already seen it and gave up. Soon after the little nephew was born, he showed a talent for drawing arrays. The elder brother was very happy because his son would not have to repeat his mistakes. Mistakes are ups and downs in the hopeless court."

Xu Zhang's various actions are actually cleaning up the forces left by the late emperor. He wanted to cultivate his own forces to come to power. How could the emperor be so easy to be blown away? That's all.

Complicated eyes flashed across Liu Song's eyes: "So, you mean..."

He pointed to the sky, and then made a beheading motion.

Lu Nianli was startled, he stood up: "No, are you crazy? Didn't you agree that you only need to pull Concubine Chen down..."

"Concubine Chen is just a target." Lu Niannian was much calmer and smarter than Lu Nianli, "The root of the problem lies in His Majesty's distrust."

The emperor doesn't trust you anymore, then everything you do is wrong.

Xu Zhang has gradually divided their power in the court.

This is also why Liu Guogong would lend the Northern Wolf Guards to Liang Fang. These years, Liu Guogong was not allowed to go to the northern border at all. Liang Fang used this as an excuse to bring the Northern Wolf Guards there, and he was also strengthening the connection between Liu Guogong and the Northern Border Army.

Lu Nianli felt like he was in a cold sweat. He had thought about "the side of the emperor", and maybe even "holding the emperor", but he really hadn't thought about rebellion!

"But...but..." Lu Nianli stammered, "There is no disaster in Haiyan and Heqing now, if... if something like this happens..."

"Meronghe has already proclaimed himself emperor," Jin Shi said, "do you think he will settle down with Beicheng's wolfish ambitions? Besides, His Majesty now trusts Concubine Chen, and the Chen family is only thinking about getting along with Beicheng." Doing business, and even the proposal to open Qinya Eleven City, do you think the people of Haiyan and Heqing will be stable in the days after Damu?"

According to the law of Damu, businessmen are not allowed to enter the court as officials, but Xu Zhang now supports such businessmen in order to cultivate his own power.

Liu Song wasn't as flustered as Lu Nianli. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "I need to go back and discuss this matter with my father."

Hearing what he said, Jinshi smiled: "Yes, this matter really needs to be discussed in the long run. But right now, we have to find a way to prevent the national teacher from taking risks."

"That's right," Lu Nianli nodded, "The national teacher has just recovered, so it's really dangerous to take two array painters who are backed by the Chen family to the northern border this season."

"Northern Wolf Guards will protect the National Teacher," Liu Song said, "With them..."

"Not all of your Northern Wolf Guards were dispatched," Lu Nianli said anxiously, "only four of them went..."

"Northern Wolf Guards alone can fight ten men."

"If the national teacher doesn't go," Lu Niannian interrupted and asked, "then who will go to the northern border to appease the northern border army?"

Jinshi replied: "Me."

Lu Nianli and Liu Song stopped arguing and looked at him.

"Your Majesty said by name that you will temporarily take over the position of the National Teacher when the National Teacher is away," Liu Song said, "If you leave Beijing, you will be discovered, right?"

"Of course I will be discovered," Jin Shi said, "Not only must I be discovered, but I will also report when I leave Beijing."

The three were confused by him.

Jin Shi put down the letter in his hand and picked up the map on the table: "This year's Xia Xun in Nanya hasn't been done yet, right?"

The summer tour is to inspect the people's livelihood formation during the summer flood season to determine the effect of Nanya's supplementary formation. However, after a series of events, the flood season has passed, and this year's summer tour is meaningless.

Liu Songdao: "This year, there are no problems with the formations reported from various places, and there are no major floods."

Jin Shi stroked the edge of the map: "So now, it's time for us to learn from Tao Baiyang."

The three looked at him, and Liu Song was the first to react: "You want to go on an autumn tour?"

"It's not me," Jinshi pointed to Liu Song and Lu Niannian, "it's you."

Lu Niannian didn't know why.

"But," Jin Shi said again, "it's me on the surface."

Jinshi stood up, walked to Lu Niannian and asked her to stand up, when Lu Niannian stood up, Jinshi gestured.

"Let me just say... we are about the same size," Jin Shi said, "Miss Lu, you will pretend to be me and go on the autumn tour for me."

The three of them were startled, and Lu Niannian hesitated, "You mean...you want to..."

"I will talk to Your Majesty about going on an autumn tour in the south," Jinshi looked at Lu Nianli, "and then you will take over from me to handle the affairs of the Tuji Division. You don't need to interfere too much with the rest. If you are uncertain, hold it down and don't approve it or give it to the country. The teacher sent a message, but for the supplies to the northern border, it must be passed unconditionally, and there is no need to get stuck."

Lu Nianli immediately said: "Of course I won't be stuck with the supply from the northern border!"

Lu Niannian asked worriedly: "However, even if you and Your Majesty apply to go south for an autumn tour, it will take a few days for a series of things to be done. By then, the National Teacher will almost arrive at Jiangfengling. How will you catch up?" What? What shall we do after catching up?"

Jinshi looked at the marked points of the formation on the map, and he smiled: "Of course I have a way to catch up to him, but what should I do after I catch up..."

He looked at Liu Song: "I still have to invite a secret order or token from Lord Zhen Guo, and lend me a few people in Jiangfengling for use."

Liu Song hesitated: "It's okay to borrow someone, but you have to tell me what to do?"

Jin Shi smiled: "Of course, I robbed the National Teacher."
