After I became a widow

Under the will of the emperor, Xiao Beihuai obtained the imperial decree, so that after the imperial court dispersed, all the officials subconsciously stayed away from Xiao Beihuai, for fear that His Royal Highness Duke Huai would see a knife on their heads with the imperial decree.

On the contrary, that old Zhang Ge was really a bold person, he took the initiative to walk up to Xiao Beihuai, and started a conversation with him.

Asking Xiao Beihuai in a rather sincere tone, "I know when you offended the lord, please enlighten me."

Xiao Beihuai raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had to learn the skill of immovability, "Why did Mr. Ge say that?"

"The lord is targeting the lower officials in the court, and he wants to issue such an imperial decree. The lower officials have many disciples, and I really don't want to implicate them because I offended the lord."

Xiao Beihuai laughed, "It seems that in the eyes of Mr. Ge, this king is a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately?"

"I don't dare to be an official," Zhang Xiru immediately denied.

"Do you dare not say that this king is, or..."

Zhang Xiru was forced to exaggerate Xiao Beihuai's broad-mindedness, integrity, and for the country and the people.

Xiao Beihuai was very satisfied with this unintentional compliment, and he said: "Elder Ge has said so, do you still think that this king is someone who will argue with you? The only ones that this king wants to kill are corrupt officials and moths in the court. Mr. Buchengge thinks that as long as he is your disciple, no matter what crime he commits, this king will not touch him?"

Zhang Xiru hastily denied, "Your Highness misunderstood, the lower officials were only worried about what you did wrong, so you came here to ask your Highness for instructions."

"My lord is wise, and I can tell the difference between a good official and a beetle. The disciples of the subordinate officials are all talented and virtuous people. I believe that they will not do what they should not do."

It turned out that Xiao Beihuai moved his disciples because he didn't know right from wrong, and wronged a good person.

"This king hopes so, otherwise, Mr. Ge should have heard about this king's methods."

The first verbal confrontation between the two, Xiao Beihuai didn't know what Zhang Xiru had learned from him, but he knew that Zhang Xiru's disciples were a great threat and had to be eliminated.

Back at the palace, Xiao Beihuai found that his princess was looking at the map. There were several red circles drawn on the map, and the name was written on a piece of paper next to it. The top one was Zhang Xiru's name, and the ones below were Zhang Xiru's disciples. .

Su Jingqing asked him to look at the map, "The good news is that there are only three governors who belong to him, but the bad news is that every week there are officials who have a close relationship with Zhang Xiru."

"Whether those prefectures have been wooed is still unknown for the time being."

Su Jingqing wrote the list at home for a long time. Seeing that those names seemed endless, he really hated Zhang Xiru, so he discussed with Xiao Beihuai, "Let's get rid of Zhang Xiru directly," or check those people one by one. I don't know how long it will take.

Xiao Beihuai showed him the imperial decree, "This king also thinks so, but since Zhang Xiru has already made the arrangements, he must have expected this, and the turmoil will really start when he dies."

Therefore, Zhang Xiru's minions must be wiped out before he can move this person.

After reading the imperial decree, Su Jingqing asked Xiao Beihuai, "Are you going to investigate those people personally?"

Xiao Beihuai shook his head, "No, I won't go." After thinking about it, he added, "You don't need to go either."

"This king intends to let Mr. Song take Song Zecheng and the aunts you mentioned."

"Huh?" This was indeed beyond Su Jingqing's expectation.

Xiao Beihuai explained: "The scenery outside is better than the capital, so it's good for the little girls to go and have a look around more. The cousin and the girl from the Gu family both want to go to the battlefield, but because their daughter can't go, the best is the next best thing. Let them kill corrupt officials."

Su Jingqing raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Only you can say such a thing."

Xiao Beihuai boasted without hesitation, "You are also different, trust those little girls."

A little girl is not as bad as a man, why don't you believe it.

It was this time when he left Beijing, Su Mingyan was destined to be left behind.

That's fine, let him obediently stay at home and prepare for marriage, ahem... Prepare for marriage, and wait for his future wife to come back after her meritorious service.

The little girls naturally had to go quietly, so that they could catch them by surprise, so Su Jingqing went back to Su's house and asked Su Mingyan to pass on the message one by one.

Knowing that he was the only one left behind, Su Mingyan clenched his fist and was sad.

"Brother, is there still time for me to practice martial arts?" He stared at Su Jingqing and asked.

Su Jingqing stroked his dog's head soothingly, "It's too late, but my little sister can."

Su Mingyan held his face and sighed.

"My lord and I won't go either. If you are free and bored, you can bring your younger sister to visit the palace often."

Su Mingyan nodded obediently, "Understood, then I will tell my sister and them now."

Looking at Su Mingyan who ran away without a trace, Su Jingqing lamented that after having a sister, his brother would have to sit in the back row.

……

On the other side, Su Mingyan came outside the gate of Gu's house. The concierge looked at him, and invited him in, and said, "Second young master, wait a moment. The younger one will send someone to invite the young lady."

Su Mingyan responded and sat in the front hall to wait for others.

The servants quickly brought tea and snacks, which were all his favorites.

In the past, the Gu family didn't make dim sum, but ever since their daughter fell in love with Su Mingyan, the Gu family's kitchen has always prepared dim sum. As long as Su Mingyan comes to the door, there will be treats.

It can be seen from this that there is no shortage of running to Gu's house.

As soon as Gu Xinruo came out of the martial arts training ground, she was reported by a servant, and she didn't change her clothes. She came to meet people wearing a corset bunt.

Su Mingyan's eyes lit up when he saw someone from a distance, put down his snacks and went up to him, and called him sweetly, "Sister."

Gu Xinruo thought to herself, how could she refuse with such a cute appearance.

Gu Xinruo walked to the front hall together with him, "Why did you come here suddenly, do you have anything to do with me?"

Su Mingyan wrinkled her nose, "There is one thing that my sister would be very happy about, but I am not very happy about it."

Gu Xinruo guessed that it was not a trivial matter, so she asked Su Mingyan to sit down and said, and also asked the maid to guard the door, so that no one was allowed to eavesdrop.

"Sister, my elder brother said that the prince wants you to go with Miss Ye and the others to run errands quietly."

Su Mingyan lowered his voice very low, and quickly told Gu Xinruo what his elder brother said to him.

After hearing this, Gu Xinruo was a little unbelievable at first, and then his eyes were filled with joy, "Is it really the prince's order?"

"Yeah," Su Mingyan nodded heavily, "My brother specially asked me to tell you."

"Sister, do you really want to go?"

Gu Xinruo laughed, "Of course I want to go, whether it's going for a walk or doing errands, it's better than being trapped in this small space in Kyoto."

Su Mingyan said: "I knew it, but it's a pity that I will hold you back, and you can't go with me."

Gu Xinruo comforted him, "I'll go explore the road first, and when we get married, I'll bring more people out to play. With me protecting you, no one can hurt you."

Su Mingyan's eyes were sparkling, and he could be coaxed with just one sentence.

"Then let's go to Miss Ye, and then go to Song's house, on the grounds of going out to play."

They often play together, and even if someone stares at them, they will not suspect that they are discussing something important.

When Gu Xinruo went to change clothes and freshen up, Su Mingyan went to talk to Mrs. Gu. He was sweet-mouthed, and every time he came to the door, he would go to see Gu's elders and say hello one by one.

People also have a heart, and when they encounter any good things, they will send someone to the Gu family to deliver a copy, and the Gu family does not dislike him.

It was also because of his sincerity that the Gu family didn't feel that he would suffer from betrotting their daughter to him. If Gu Xinruo wanted to be strong-tempered, he would have to find a soft person to subdue her.

Su Mingyan went out to play for half a day, got things done, and happily ran to the palace the next day to ask for credit.

Turning around, Xiao Beihuai also entered the palace, and told the emperor that he wanted father Song to patrol on his behalf, to punish rape and eradicate evil.

The son is not going out of Beijing, and there are still people to do business. The emperor is eager, how can he disagree.

So Father Song took his son and the imperial decree and went out of Beijing with a few little girls disguised as guards.

……

"Since Prince Huai sent people there, let them go without returning."

A slightly old voice sounded, they have come to this point, they cannot be ruined by Xiao Beihuai.

"Duke Huai is also bold. He sent only so few people there. He probably thinks that we have been a vegetarian for many years."

"Song Yunxian shouldn't be underestimated either. He was able to sit in the position of Zuo Fudu Censor by virtue of his ability, and he is somewhat capable. What's more, he is valued by Duke Huai and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. We should not take it lightly."

Some people belittle, and naturally some people are sober.

"If you want me to say, it's best to kill people clean, so as to avoid future troubles."

"The first one to kill is Duke Huai. With him around, we can't do anything."

Everyone in the room expressed their opinions, only the old man who sat at the top didn't read the mouth after he finished the first sentence, and he didn't speak out until the group of quarrels were almost over, "Okay, people must be killed, Neither Song Yunxian nor Duke Huai can stay."

"Pass on the news, it's time to restrain the transfer, don't reveal too much."

The old man waved his hand to make a group of people retreat, feeling a little worried.

"What is dad worrying about?"

The old man's son appeared and asked his father.

The old man said: "Duke Huai is not easy to deal with, he has too few weaknesses."

The Su family is actually not a weakness, after all there is Su Jingqing, he is not an idiot, and now he wants to marry the Gu family, let alone start with the Su family.

Military generals like the Gu family still have to stay. They are all dead. Whoever will fight in the future will guard their wealth and keep them enjoying themselves.

"Father just thinks too much. Let's get more people to kill Duke Huai. After all, this face is about to be torn off. Why bother to cover it up?"

"Yumu!" The old man scolded displeasedly, "If Duke Huai is so easy to kill, how could I let him live until now, Duke Huai still has a hundred thousand troops behind him."

That's what worries him the most.

It's a pity that at the beginning, I tried my best but failed to get the military power.

"Since the Su family can't move, let's try another method. Although His Highness Duke Huai is ruthless, he is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

The old man called his son to him, and whispered a few words, "It must be done properly, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise none of us will be able to escape."

The old man's son was a little puzzled, "Father, this method is so risky, why do you want to do it?"

The old man's cloudy eyes showed coldness, "Of course it's because Duke Huai must die!"

……

"My lord!"

Mo Yan entered the door in a hurry, angry and furious, "My lord, as you and my concubine expected, they did attack the imperial mausoleum."

Xiao Beihuai put down the book, exchanged a glance with his princess, "You can start collecting the net."
