Battle of the Red Mansions

Seeing the person he wanted to see walking away, Tu Jingyang didn't leave in a hurry, and continued to drink tea in the private room.

"Master, why don't we go to the imperial city?" Changheng stood by the window for a while, seeing that their master had no intention of leaving, he held back for a while and asked, "The emperor wants to reward the army, Master has not taken much care these years, and there should be rewards, if you just sit here like this, wouldn't you miss it?"

Lightly glanced at Chang Heng, Tu Jingyang didn't care about the people around him talking about it, they followed him from left to right, it's normal to be concerned about these things.

After all, he put all his mind on practicing martial arts, this kid still only took a superficial view of the affairs of the court.

Thinking of this, Tu Jingyang slowly put down the teacup, and then said indifferently, "It is precisely because it is the time for rewards that this king cannot pass."

Not understanding what their master's words meant, Chang Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head honestly, "What do you mean by these words, the emperor has a deep affection for you, who else can't see you now? "

Since the emperor came to the throne, the prince of their family doesn't have to worry about the one who committed the crime can live a good life every year. Even if the emperor's favor to the prince in the palace is beyond the past, it's no big deal.

After all, it is the emperor who is in charge now, the elder brother of their prince, who is much better than the Supreme Emperor back then.

As a confidant, Chang Heng naturally knew that the estrangement between Tu Jingyang and the present sage when the Supreme Emperor was in power was all fake. After all, they were a group of four brothers. By the side of their prince, although outsiders don't know their relationship, but their own people know!

Knowing what Chang Heng was thinking, Tu Jingyang didn't explain it, but just hooked the corners of his mouth and asked him to sit beside him, and they would go back after the award was over.

Those who have anything to do with the military and politics, it's better not to touch him because of his identity, even if the one sitting on the dragon chair is his own brother, and that one has always treated him sincerely.

It doesn't matter what the two brothers say in private, but let the courtiers see it publicly, even if it's not interesting at all, those who are used to catching wind and shadows can come up with something.

Therefore, even if their brotherhood is deep, he will not embarrass his elder brother. After all, military administration is different from others, and it is enough to give some rewards on weekdays. He will not touch anything related to military power.

He didn't want to be impeached by the censor because of these soldiers and horses, and then hinder the brotherhood between him and their royal brother. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with being an idle prince who can only make money.

He can't spend much by himself, and the money he earns goes to the treasury after changing hands. It is enough for him to say a few words about money matters, and let those who have both ability and political integrity to worry about the rest.

Although their royal brother never intended to make his idea come true

However, even if Tu Jingyang didn't explain, Chang Heng wasn't really stupid, he always knew what their prince was worried about.

However, Chang Heng, who has never focused on the right point, looked at the soldiers and horses below who had all entered the city, and then looked at their master with some confusion, "Master, you don't want to touch the military power, but Lin Xiaoye will want to do it in the future." A general like General Xie!"

Before the emperor ascended the throne, you were in charge of General Xie’s Hanguguan barracks. Master Lin and General Xie have a good relationship with you. Now that you’re talking so bluntly, can you really leave it alone?

Besides, you have to go to see how people are doing every few months, is it possible that you don't have any military power at all?

Thinking carefully about their prince's severance of contact with military generals from then on, and then only dealing with those high-ranking civil servants or merchants all day long, Chang Heng's body trembled, and he was a little worried about his future.

To be honest, he is a rough man, if he is only a businessman, he can still say a few words, anyway, there are not so many rules.

But those Qingliu civil servants are stricter than each other in their families, and even the servants live their lives in a rigid manner, and they can't even find anyone to talk to. How can there be generals who get along comfortably?

Big fists are the last word, and it couldn't be better for a not-so-intelligent person like him.

The smile on his face froze for a moment, and he lowered his eyes to ponder for a while, Prince Ning An fixedly looked at the subordinate who was seriously worried about him, but couldn't help but waved his hand to make people disappear.Can't you let him seriously think about big things for a while?

It's one thing not to touch the military power. Did he say he won't have contact with generals from now on?

Chang Yuan, who had just finished dealing with the matter and was about to report the matter to his master, looked at Chang Heng who was aggrieved and guarded at the door, "What's the matter, why didn't you wait inside?"

With a bitter face, he didn't realize what he said was wrong, Chang Heng pursed his mouth, and then said dejectedly, "I don't want to see me now, maybe I'm too good-looking, and I'm afraid that the room will be surrounded by those scattered people later." The married ladies threw hairpin flowers"

"What nonsense!" Chang Yuan looked at Chang Heng not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Chang Yuan shook his head, "With our lord sitting there, others can still see you, besides, how can those ladies have the strength to throw hairpins so high. "

Knowing his brother's temperament, Changyuan didn't ask any more questions, and asked him to keep watch at the door before knocking on the door and going in.

He must have hit the sore spot of their prince somewhere, and then he was kicked out by him. This kind of thing is very common in the mansion. He just didn't expect that this kid would be able to provoke the prince if he opened his mouth and left for a while. the point.

Throwing out all the messy things in his mind, Chang Yuan went in and saluted before speaking, "My lord, my subordinates have already asked, these soldiers will set up camp five miles outside the city after receiving rewards, and then Arranged by their respective superiors, General Xie and others are mostly people from the capital, and they should bring Xiaoye Lin with them when they return home."

After finishing speaking, Changyuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "But if you want to invite people back to the palace, General Xie's family will be reunited, and the other soldiers have their own arrangements, whether it is to follow General Xie or go out of the city with other soldiers, Something seems wrong."

Prince Ning An, who refused to get any military power, thought for a while, then nodded decisively, "That's fine, it's not right to stay by Xie Qiong's side, it's better for our palace to be quiet."

I haven't been back to Beijing for several years. Xie's family must be preparing to welcome Xie Qiong. What's the matter with Lin Xuan? If the child is touched by the scene and feels homesick, everyone will be comforted at night. What should I do?

Their palace is quiet, so it’s okay to have someone come and stay for one night. He has a good relationship with Xie Qiong, and it’s not a difficult task to bring him back, so let’s ask someone to go back to the palace.

Thinking about it this way, after Tu Jingyang realized it, he realized that he had sent Chang Heng out, and everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged.

Forget it, I've been to the military camp a few times anyway, so I'm not afraid to get stuck on it again. Ah Xuan is not a big official now, so he is a friend he met in Jiangnan before.

Moreover, what he said is correct, isn't Lin Xuan a child he has known since Jiangnan?

Although the elder brother didn't ask him to take care of him more, he privately told him a lot to keep that person away from him.

Touching his nose in embarrassment, Tu Jingyang took a sip of tea and found excuses in his heart, on the surface he still looked like a calm and modest gentleman.

At the beginning, he didn't expect that he could pay so much attention to a child he had only met a few times, but after getting along with him day and night at Hangu Pass, he found that child really interesting, no wonder Lin Ruhai protected him like eyeballs.

If he has such a younger brother, he also wants to send all the good things in the world to him so that his life will go smoothly without any suffering.

It's a pity that the mother and concubine only gave birth to him and his brother. The other brothers either met strangers and fought each other, or they were directly tit-for-tat and wanted to kill him. Neither of them is easy to get along with. The elder brother is also thoughtful, so he doesn't need to worry about it. , where can I find such a young brother to take care of him?

Lin Xuan has the heart of a child, he will remember what is good to him, and he will return it to those who are not good to him in a few days, such a simple and innocent child, does not gradually make people feel at ease went.

It's a pity to be a good kid, I don't know why he valued the whole journey of joining the army, instead of leaving a good and open career, but wanted to fight to the death with real swords and guns with those barbarians outside, probably brought by Xie Qiong.

Feeling that the time is almost up, Tu Jingyang put down the teacup in his hand, tidied himself up and left with Chang Yuan, even if he didn't intend to show his face in front of people, he still had to enter the palace today.

Suddenly remembered something, Tu Jingyang slowed down, turned around and asked, "Changyuan, will Xie Qiong stay in the capital or go out?"

"General Xie?" Before he came, he had already inquired about the news, Changyuan didn't pause, and then replied, "The emperor intends to let General Xie be closer to the capital, but General Xie himself begged to be released."

This release is not as simple as Hangu Pass. The Northwest has been in chaos for a few years before, and there is no reason why other places will not be in chaos again. The foreigners outside them have never been easy to get along with.

It can be stable for a few years once, but it will still come back after a few years.

Nodding his head to show that he had heard it, Tu Jingyang rubbed his chin, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

The people in the city hadn't come out of the joy of the army returning to the city, and the streets were full of joy. Tu Jingyang led people to look at the streets where there were no fewer people, and then led them to turn to other small roads with few people.

It has been many years since such a protracted war has been fought, and it is reasonable for the people to be excited.

Having just gone through an ordeal, Lin Xuan followed their general with lingering fears. He never thought that the general who returned from the rank here would have so much courtesy. He had never heard of so many things about being a general before, not all of them are emperors. A decree and then the eunuchs will send the rewards to the mansion?

Looking at the ministers going down the city wall with concern, Lin Xuan shivered, and said thankfully that the main event was on their general.

It is also because he has never experienced such a great victory. When he was able to fight in Datang, it was already in chaos, and he had to rush to other places immediately after the end of the first battle. Even with these rules, he had no chance to see it.

Walking quickly to the back of their general, Han Rujin and Xie Yang hadn't left yet, just in time they could still complain about this unreasonable procedure together.

Not far away, Chang Heng, who had finally waited for the ceremony to end, hurriedly found General Xie who was walking in front with a blank face, "General Xie, Xie's mansion is here to clean up the dust for you today. The prince thought that it would be wrong for Xiaoye Lin to follow him, and he deliberately let the subordinates follow him." Come down to pick up Lin Xiaoye to the palace, what does the general want?"

Xie Qiong whose expression was blocked by the mask: Hehe, not so good!
