Battle of the Red Mansions

The half face covered by the mask was still cold, Xie Qiong looked at Chang Heng who was walking over, and didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Lin Xuan follow him.

"He is my apprentice now. It is only natural that I go back to Xie's mansion with me. It is really inappropriate to go to the prince's place." Said in a cold voice, Xie Qiong did not intend to let Lin Xuan go to other places, and naturally he did not intend to let the elder Heng leaned in front of Lin Xuan, "Come back, after a few days, I will take him to visit the palace."

Saying so, without waiting for Chang Heng to persuade her again, Xie Qiong glanced at the subordinates who were still complaining, and then directly took them away.

Seeing a familiar face before leaving, Lin Xuan also had some joy on his face, and waved at Chang Heng before following Xie Qiong away.

He stretched out his hand but didn't have time to say anything, Chang Heng looked at the generals who walked away neatly, rubbed his face and had to go back to the palace first.

What can he do, General Xie is strict, he can't directly tie people back!

After coming out on the battlefield, God knows if he can still beat Xiaoye Lin, not to mention General Xie who is still standing in front.

Lord, it's not that the subordinates are careless, but that the other party's protection is too strict, so you should discuss this matter with General Xie yourself!

Pursing his lips and walking away by himself, Chang Heng walked the opposite direction with a group of them alone, his back looked extraordinarily lonely.

Xie Yang is from the Xie family, so naturally he went back with Xie Qiong, Han Rujin did have a family and a wife, so they parted ways after a while.

Leading the horse and picking a place where there were few people, Xie Qiong looked at Lin Xuan, who had become more and more calm in the past few years, and said without concealment, "Just now Prince Ning'an sent Chang Heng over, afraid that you would follow me It's not convenient to be around, I want you to go directly to Ning'an Palace."

"Prince Ning'an's Mansion?" Unable to understand what the general's words meant, Lin Xuan replied solemnly, "Master, don't worry, my disciple will not cause trouble in Xie's Mansion, and I will definitely not ruin your reputation."

He is no longer a child who causes trouble everywhere, he is now the General of Tiance Mansion who has been personally commended by the Holy Majesty, a decent fourth-rank official.

Holding her head up and chest up, trying to make herself more reliable, Lin Xuan looked at Xie Qiong with sincerity in her eyes, "I have already greeted the prince at the gate of the city, it's okay if I don't go."

So, if he wasn't in the way, would you really follow Chang Heng to Ning'an Palace?

General Xie felt the long-lost toothache, fixedly glanced at Lin Xuan and then ignored him.

Watching their general walk away, Xie Yang grabbed Lin Xuan's shoulders, blinked and asked, "There are so many people at the city gate, I only saw countless girls, but I didn't see Prince Ning'an , your kid is with us all the way, how can there be a chance to meet him at the city gate?"

After giving Xie Yang a blank look, Lin Xuan curled her lips, "It's not that Captain Han has good eyesight, he is in the private room by the window of the teahouse, how could you see it among the common people below."

Shrugging his shoulders, Xie Yang didn't care about where he saw Tu Jingyang, and after a few words of teasing, he turned the topic aside, "By the way, don't your family have an in-law relationship with the Rongguo Mansion? What relationship?"

Their family still has a house in the capital, so they still have to go to Xie Mansion with the general.

A few years ago, his brother rushed to Beijing for the exam, and he stayed in the capital for a full year after being appointed as an official. During this year, he did not sleep on the street. Their family was not short of money and could afford a house in the capital.

It's just that no one has lived in it for several years, and now he may have left before cleaning up in the past.

"It's the Duke's Mansion, and there are many rules. I'm a junior. In the past, I was fine with a gift, but it's troublesome if I get close." Not wanting to get involved with the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Xuan wrinkled and said every day, and then thought about it The Rong Guogong I met today didn't feel like he was in poor health.

If he was in poor health, he would not be able to lead troops to fight before. I heard that Rong Guogong was very brave in the first place on the battlefield!

The Duke of the Kingdom was not mentioned in Dream of the Red Chamber, so he will go to immortality in a few years, so the time is a bit out of date.

However, the general's body is also uncertain, in case when the old disease recurs on his body, he may be gone in three or two days, there is no certainty about these.

"According to what the emperor said today, the Duke seems not to be favored by the Holy One!" Rubbing his chin and whispering, Xie Yang thought about the edict read by the eunuch and the scene of awarding the reward, and then continued, " That's right, the princes are all the favorites of the Supreme Emperor, and now that the Supreme Emperor is still in the palace, the Emperor probably wouldn't dare to use these people."

Whether it is my in-laws or elders, this is okay to hear, but it is difficult for Lin Xuan to answer in public.

However, he doesn't know if the emperor dares to use this duke, but he knows that none of these people will end well in the end.

After all, it is said that Dream of Red Mansions is a history of the rise and fall of a big family. Although he doesn't remember much, he generally knows how to develop.

You can't get rid of the four words from prosperity to decline.

Perhaps these big families began to feel lonely, and the first clue was the replacement of the throne.

Their family has been cold since the beginning of the Dream of Red Mansions. If they are careful, they should be able to pick it out.

Maybe this is just a simple transfer of power!

Thinking this way, even though their general has started to talk to him about the grievances and entanglements within the court in the past year, Lin Xuan still feels that his brain is not enough when hearing these things.

Although he listened carefully every time, in a blink of an eye he forgot who belonged to whom and who had feuds with whom. He really couldn't remember!

It is enough for their family to have one that they can remember, and An Ansheng is still a general, not to hold back the family, and it is enough to support the eldest brother when someone bullies their family.

As for the rest, he can't control so much.

Lin Xuan didn't answer, but Xie Yang didn't stop. He wentssip about the filth among the princes, and remember their glory during the Supreme Emperor's time. He finally remembered what he wanted to say at the beginning. What is it.

Coughing twice to indicate that his next words were very serious, Xie Yang turned Lin Xuan's face away, and then said cautiously, "Ah Xuan, we are soldiers, we can have connections with the royal family, but we can't get too close , will be gossiped about.”

Xie Yang had never had the opportunity to talk about such a high-level topic with Lin Xuan, a gleam flashed in Xie Yang's eyes, and he seized the opportunity to start educating the younger generation.

It's usually their generals who say these things, and it's not easy for him to catch them.

"I know, but Prince Ning'an is an idle prince, he doesn't care about government affairs!" Spreading his hands and looking at Senior Xie, Lin Xuan rubbed his head with his backhand, not paying attention to Senior Xie at all.

Although he has been with the general for a relatively short time, he can fight!

He knew who he could make friends with and who he couldn't, but he and Tu Jingyang had known each other a long time ago, so there was nothing he could do.

"I don't know how the two of you got to play together. I heard that Prince Ning'an is a good southerly man. He must have taken a fancy to you, right?"

Usually we don't have any scruples when we are together, Xie Yang said whatever he thought of, squeezed his eyes and leaned close to Lin Xuan's ear, and came like this

one sentence.

Being used to making noise together, Lin Xuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. She raised her eyebrows and replied, "Speaking of looks, isn't someone more pitiful~love~than me?"

The last few words rolled on the tip of her tongue several times before she spit them out. Looking at Xie Yang's already green face, Lin Xuan smiled triumphantly, and then quickly hid beside their general before Xie Yang made a move.

He is not effeminate, even if Prince Ning An really has broken sleeves, Xie Yang's big-eyed baby face is the most attractive one. You can cry when you pinch his cheeks. How can you fall in love with him? Rough guy.

He and Tu Jingyang are just like-minded brothers. Besides, although he himself never thought of getting married so early, he should also like soft, tender and fragrant girls.

He hated others talking about his face the most, Xie Yang stared viciously at Lin Xuan who was hiding beside their general, snorted coldly and turned his eyes away.

Leaving the two noisy boys behind with a cold face, they saw their Xie family members busy sending people home to spread the news from a long distance, while others had already greeted them.

In the palace, when Tu Jingjue went outside the imperial study, Tu Jingjue had just changed clothes and was sitting there.

He waved his hand and called people to the side. With this younger brother, Tu Jingjue had never put on airs, "Have you eaten yet?"

While asking, before Tu Jingjue could answer, Tu Jingjue had already sent the waiter to prepare meals.

After letting all the servants in the royal study go out, only the two brothers were left, Tu Jingjue relaxed a lot, and then took out a few folders from a stack of papers and put them in front of Tu Jingjue.

"The man who stayed in the capital is almost wiped out. Yizhong's ruthlessness directly harmed the whole government back then. I don't want to pursue the daughter who was rescued and sent to the shantang. It would be great if she can live in peace like this. "

As he said that, Tu Jingjue opened one of the memorials, and then continued, "However, I never thought back then that Yizhong could be involved in so many things."

There was a chill in his eyes, and Tu Jingjue didn't want to hold on to a dead person, after all, he hadn't recovered the imperial court that was torn apart by the Supreme Emperor, and he didn't have time to compete with a dead person.

It's just that he didn't expect that the officialdom far away in the south of the Yangtze River could be infiltrated by him.

"The report on Jiangnan's defense has become more and more serious in recent years, and it has reached the point where it has to be dealt with."

Tu Jingyang frowned and did not go to pick up the folders. He scanned all the items on it with a glance, and then asked, "What does this have to do with Yizhong? Even if there is corruption in Jiangnan, he can't collect money anymore if he is dead! "

"Of course the dead can't accept cash, but the living can use the name of the dead." After opening the following folders one by one, Tu Jingjue looked up and said, "How do the people below know what the top is like? It is not impossible to be tricked into thinking that Yizhong is still the prince who covers the sky with one hand."

Although he felt that his brother's words were a bit nonsense, Tu Jingyang did not refute them. What if there were people who were not well-informed and still made confession according to the way a few years ago.

"Brother Huang, who is so bold as to collect money in the name of righteousness and loyalty?" Tu Jingyang asked with a raised eye, "The one who misses his good son recently, wouldn't he be angry again if he knew this? Can't afford to be sick?"

Raising his eyebrows and pushing Zhezi over, Tu Jingjue also had a little smile in his eyes, but there was not much warmth.

"The people who dare to do this are not the group of clans headed by the Jiangnan Zhen family."

After reading the excerpts with some irony, Tu Jingyang put all the things back, and then turned to look at his brother, "Brother Emperor, I don't have anything long."

"Not much to say, Jiangnan has already made arrangements. You just need to watch in the dark. You can handle things that they can't handle in the open. That's it." Without further ado, let's settle the matter Coming down, looking at his younger brother who still wanted to shirk, His Majesty the Emperor clapped his hands to let the people outside bring up the food, and then changed the subject in an extremely naive way.

Looking helplessly at his elder brother who had already picked up the chopsticks, Tu Jingyang sighed, "Brother Emperor, can you tell me who is arranged by Jiangnan?"

The goal has been achieved, His Majesty the Emperor replied very happily, "You also know this person, he dealt with you a few years ago, Lianghuai Salt Transport, Lin Ruhai."
