I heard my brother is a tyrant

Xuanpinghou Mansion received the decree and speculated for a long time.The emperor summoned Han Ziyun to Beijing, and the edict read "return to Beijing with his family".

Xuan Pinghou was puzzled, and Han Ziyun was also puzzled for a moment.

Since the last time Xuan Ping Hou came to Beijing under the imperial edict, he has paid a lot of attention to this mediocre son when he came back. First, there was a word from the emperor, and the emperor said that he is worthy of appointment, that is the imperial edict; second, the eldest son is dead. He only has two sons left, how can he not pay attention to this clumsy third son.

So after that, Xuan Ping Hou officially let Han Ziyun take up a military position in the army, and let him exercise his talents.In the past two years, the emperor has been tough, and the king of Beiting is old, and the various tribes are ready to move, and their eyes are fixed on their own country. It is rare that the northwest border is relatively stable, and Han Ziyun has no chance to perform meritorious service for a while.

But the more seemingly unreasonable the situation, the emperor suddenly called him back to Beijing, and expressly stated that he would bring his family to Beijing, the more people can't figure out the depth.

Han Ziyun felt that the more reasonable explanation was that the emperor wanted to take back the military power in the Northwest, or he had suspicions about the Xuanping Houfu.

Military generals who hold military power must have their immediate family members stay in the capital, usually their parents and legitimate sons. This is almost the usual method of many high-ranking people.For example, when Xuan Ping Hou took over the military power in the Northwest, Han Ziyun's grandmother and mother, Mrs. Xuan Ping Hou, lived in the capital all the time, and the three brothers were able to follow their father to the border.

Now that the grandmother and madam have passed away, Mrs. Xuan Ping Hou stayed in the capital with a few concubines and two young concubine daughters. Did the Holy Majesty feel that the weight was too light for him to return to the capital?

After Han Ziyun returned to his room, he discussed with his wife Ye Yu that the imperial decree must not be disobeyed, but at the moment it is unclear what the emperor's intentions are, so it is better to let him go first. Escorting Ye Yu and a pair of children to Beijing later, there is room for maneuver in the middle, so that the wife and children can travel more calmly and suffer less hardship.

Twenty days later, Han Ziyun rushed to the capital alone with a few followers, and went to ask for an audience outside the Zichen Hall.

Xie Dan was really surprised when he heard the report. He originally thought he would have to wait for a few months.Suizhou is far away, even with light vehicles and horses, it is too fast to come here.Xie Dan put down the notebook in his hand and asked someone to announce him in.

It was Han Ziyun's first time to visit the Holy Spirit. After entering, Xie Dan first asked about the military situation in the Northwest and the situation in Beiting. After the official business was over, he asked, "I didn't expect you to come so fast, and your family members are also here?"

Han Ziyun hurriedly bowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I heard that the Holy Majesty summoned me, and I was afraid of delaying the official affairs of the court, so I hurried to come here first. The family members and children of my minister moved slowly and dragged their burdens, so I asked them to come later."

How could Xie Dan fail to see through his small thoughts, as soon as he heard that his wife hadn't arrived, he immediately lost interest in Han Ziyun, and sent him back home to rest.

When Han Ziyun saw it, he became more and more convinced that the emperor was going to hold him as a hostage in the capital. He couldn't help but feel bitter, thinking that he just had a little ambition and wanted to use his hands and feet, but now he is stuck in the capital and has nothing to do. The dandy.

Knowing this, it would be better for the family to walk slowly together, and there are more to take care of on the way, Han Ziyun couldn't help but start thinking about his wife and children who were still halfway.

***

The autumn wind blows, and the crab legs are fat. Ever since a famous chef from Ludi came to the mansion, Ye Chu fell in love with this "crab racing".

The main ingredient of this dish is small yellow croaker. Scrape the fish with a knife, mince it, and stir fry it with raw salted egg yolk, eggs, scallops, onion and turmeric wine.Stir-fry it out and put it in a white porcelain plate. The color is golden and very beautiful.

Ye Chu doesn't eat crabs. I don't know if Sai crabs can be stuffed with crabs. Anyway, the taste is tender and delicious.She loved it once she ate it.

Later, one time in Xiumu, with the permission of Imperial Physician Xu, Xie Dan mercifully asked the kitchen to make two crabs, peeled two crab legs for her to taste, it didn't seem very delicious, so Ye Chu lost interest and went again Turn the chopsticks back to the plate of crabs.

When you are full, go for a walk in the garden, and take a walk to digest food.As Xie Dan expected, this little pony turned out to be a dog for Ye Chu.She walks the horse every day, feeds it with hay, and gives it apples and carrots.Now the pony doesn't need to be led, Ye Chu walks in front, the pony will jump up and down and follow behind her, not far away from the left or right, and will come back after running far away.

Xie Dan teased her, being a good pony, he made her more obedient than a dog.

The little girl chased the foal all day long, she ate a lot, and with the long-term care of the imperial doctors, her little face began to turn red. Although she was still as thin as a shallot, her body was indeed healthy. Quite a few, it is not so easy to get sick in autumn.

The horse is not born to be ridden, it has to be trained. When Ye Chu was tired after walking for a while, the groom took the pony aside and began to train the pony to ride.

At this time the servant came to report, Xie Dan told Ye Chu that he was going to deal with some matters ahead, and asked her if she wanted to go back together.

"Brother, go get busy, I want to play for a while." Ye Chu said.The pony has already started training, and she wants to try riding it.

Xie Tan gave some instructions and walked to the front yard.He sat down in the main hall of the front yard, and the guards came in with Wei Chen and a woman in a green dress.The two entered the room to pay respects, and the woman turned out to be Wei Linbo, the concubine of Wei in the harem.

Wei Linbo went out of the palace disguised as a court lady today, he wanted to go to Tiejiawei to identify a prisoner privately, he identified him, and reported to the emperor, Xie Dan asked about the last time she was poisoned.Eight out of ten Concubine Liu is a scapegoat who was pushed out, or was set up by someone.

But who is the rightful owner is still unclear.

Wei Chen said: "I think there must be something wrong with Concubine Liu's confession. The Iron Armored Guards made a very clear investigation. At least on the surface, Concubine Liu ordered the eunuch next to him to hide the poison in her hair bun by taking advantage of the eunuch's leaving the palace. It was secretly brought into the palace. But the people around Concubine Liu probably had no chance to do it back then, and they still haven't figured out how the poison got in."

"I injected the poison myself." Wei Linbo said.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Chen's face was darkened.On the contrary, Xie Dan's eyes drooped slightly and he didn't react, he should have known it earlier.

Wei Linbo said: "It's not that I look down on our Concubine Shu, who can pick herself out without leaking water, Chu Congchan doesn't seem to have such a plan. I first realized that the maid next to me was bribed and secretly got the medicine. Poison me. There is only one day to catch a thief, so there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days, so I took the lead in poisoning myself at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet. "

Wei Linbo was poisoned on the spot at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet. Not only the concubines in the harem were present, but also the clan relatives and foreign wives who attended the banquet. The matter was so public that it was not easy to keep it in the harem for the official to investigate.The emperor was furious, and the Iron Armored Guard ordered a thorough investigation, almost able to check and sort out some people in the harem.

In the end, Concubine Liu was found.And Concubine Liu actually recognized it!

Xie Dan lowered his eyes after listening, and ordered: "Try not to make such a big commotion in the future, just a simple move. You should retreat first."

Wei Chen and Wei Linbo bowed and took their leave. The two came out of the main hall one after the other, intending to go out from the Kua courtyard to a courtyard of the Iron Armored Guard next door.As a result, he stepped into the courtyard through the corner door on the inner side, Wei Chen's expression changed, and he wanted to back away.

Wei Linbo didn't know why he was following him, so he turned around and almost bumped into him. In desperation, he pushed him and complained: "Master Wei, how are you walking!"

While Wei Linbo was talking, he saw that there were still people in the yard, many young and bright women. After careful observation, several women who looked like maids surrounded a delicate and delicate girl in a light yellow skirt. The girl was feeding a carrot with a carrot. foal.

As soon as she made a sound, Ye Chu in the yard also turned around and looked over.Ye Chu came back from playing in the garden for a while, and when he heard that his brother had gone to the front living room, he deliberately walked a few more steps to the front and brought the pony back first.

Seeing strangers out of nowhere, Ye Chu pursed his lips and glanced over. There was a tall man in black he had seen before, the one who was scolded by his brother as a scumbag, and a very beautiful woman.Ye Chu didn't have a good impression of that rascal, and wished he would go away quickly, but he couldn't help but take a few more glances at that beautiful woman.

This woman is so beautiful!

Where did such a beautiful woman come from their family?

"This subordinate has seen the girl before." Wei Chenjin didn't dare to advance, could not retreat, and bowed his head to salute, explaining, "This subordinate really didn't know that the girl was here, and bumped into the girl, please forgive me."

Wei Linbo didn't even know that the emperor had a younger sister in hiding, and he didn't even know that Ye Chu was such a person. Seeing Wei Chen being so respectful and even saluting with a little panic, he couldn't guess the identity of this girl at all. The son of the Duke's mansion and the commander of the Iron Armored Guards, Mr. Wei, is so respectful.

While thinking about it, Wei Linbo also bowed respectfully: "The little girl has met the girl, and the girl is blessed and safe."

Facing a good-looking and friendly woman, Ye Chu also put his hands on his waist and gave a little blessing, and said with a sweet and soft smile: "My sister, Wanfu Jin'an."

Wei Chen: "..."

He couldn't help but start to reflect on where he had offended this little master.

The maids were also puzzled, and looked at each other for a while, wondering who these two people were, and how could there be strangers in their house.Ye Ling did recognize Wei Chen, but suddenly she didn't know what to say.

The scene was a bit awkward for a moment, Xie Dan stepped in, and seeing this scene, he frowned slightly in displeasure, and said softly, "Why haven't you two left yet?"

"This subordinate is leaving now, and this subordinate will leave." Wei Chen hurriedly bowed, took a few steps back, and hurried out through the side door leading to the outside.Wei Linbo didn't know why, so he instinctively blessed Yifu and followed Wei Chen out.

Hurriedly turning from the outer wall of the courtyard into the small courtyard of the Iron Armored Guard, Wei Chenxu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked someone to arrange it, and then sent two guards to guard the gate.

In the past, the little master was only in the inner house, the deep house compound, and many courtyards. She would never step out of the front yard, so this door is usually only the emperor himself, and only he and a few armored generals walked through the door. You won't enter the back house, and you don't need to be on duty at all.

But this is the second time he met the young master in the small courtyard of Xikuayuan.Look at the emperor's face, there must be no third time.

Entering the Iron Armored Guard, Wei Linbo couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Master Wei, who was that woman just now? She..."

"You still dare to ask!" Wei Chen said angrily, "Stop asking."

Wei Linbo smiled and said, "It's okay to ask? People called me sister just now."

Wei Chen: "..."

"This girl is really pretty, Master Wei will reveal it quietly."

Wei Chen turned around and said resentfully: "What are you revealing! In short, you remember, that little master is precious, and if you offend the emperor, you must not offend her!"

You must know that he was the emperor's companion since he was a child, and he is usually more easy-going with the emperor than other courtiers, and there are a few casual jokes.But it's different when it comes to this little master, he is a "outsider", and the emperor's protection is like eyeballs, especially this little master doesn't seem to like him very much.

In the courtyard, Xie Dan also ordered Ye Ling with a cold face: "Go and tell Chang Shun, and arrange a woman to guard this corner gate in the future. If the girl comes to play, ask other people to stay away, lest someone come and bump into the girl."

Xie Dan was really flustered when he first came in, if Wei Chen and Wei Linbo accidentally said something, and Wei Linbo didn't know anything about the house, if they said something wrong, especially Wei Linbo's identity is still His "concubine"... How can he explain it to the little girl!

"It's okay, I haven't been here a few times." Ye Chu smiled innocently, "Brother, who is that pretty sister just now? Is she a guest of our house?"

"No, they are my subordinates." Xie Dan said.

"Do the guards have a woman too? She looks really good-looking."

"There are also a few female guards among the guards." Xie Dan smiled, pinched her cheek and said, "It's better to see An'an in our house."

"Brother, you're so funny!" Ye Chu protested with a puffy face, grabbed Xie Dan's sleeve and shook it, the two talked and laughed, and walked slowly towards the back house.

Along the way, Ye Chu was still thinking that his elder brother actually had a good-looking woman under his command. He didn't know what kind of woman his elder brother liked. If he married a sister-in-law in the future...

Ye Chu shook his head, he didn't like this idea.It's hard to imagine someone else intervening between her and her brother, becoming his closest person.

"Brother, what kind of sister-in-law will you marry in the future?" She tilted her head and asked slowly.

"?" Xie Dan asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want a gentle and good-looking one. Don't be fierce." The little girl said to herself.

Xie Dan asked amusedly, "Why?"

"What why?" The little girl's eyes were clear, and she asked a little puzzled, "Who doesn't like gentle and beautiful ones, don't you like ugly ones, fierce ones? What if she bullies me? You said it yourself, she He will bully me, he will bully you all day long, and it will be difficult for me to see you even once. Then what should I do?"

"..." Xie Dan was silent, this was not all he coaxed her to say before.

After a while, he pinched her face and said with a helpless smile, "You!"

Should it be said that she has grown up, or that she is too young?
