The setting sun left a long shadow, a blood red.
Han Hao didn’t know what was going on. Since Lord Guo came back from the court, he stood in the yard, motionless, watching the sky getting darker and darker, Han Hao walked over and said: The maid came over and asked, "Duke Guo went to eat dinner at night?" After entering the palace, Guo Gongye was just like that. I don't know what the emperor said to him.
Han Jianming said: "Just say I have a lot of work, so I won't go over to eat today!" At this meeting, he didn't want to see anyone, but just wanted to be alone.
As the sky darkened, Han Hao personally lit the lamp. Han Jianming looked at the orange light and said, "Go and call Mr. Zhao!"
Mr. Zhao had known Han Jianming's strangeness a long time ago, but Han Jianming didn't call him, so he couldn't take the initiative to run over. Mr. Zhao asked, "Master Guo, what happened?"
Han Jianming said: "The emperor wants me to kill Yuxi. If I agree, the position of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is mine." This idea is really good, and Yuxi can't guard against his eldest brother.
Mr. Zhao opened his mouth, and after a while, he asked, "What is the grandfather of the country going to do?" On the one hand, the position of Shangshu in the Ministry of War, and the younger sister on the other. This is really a dilemma.
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I refused." He was going to murder his sister for the position of the Minister of War. He was not so frantic yet, and the emperor looked down on him too much.
Mr. Zhao did not breathe a sigh of relief, but said: "The emperor will not give up easily." Since the emperor spoke, Han Jianming could not help but refuse. At that point, the emperor would use the Han family to threaten the country. Grandpa.
Han Jianming said: "What's next, let's talk about it later!"
Mr. Zhao looked at Han Jianming's worried look and said, "Grandma Sigu has always been cautious. It is not so easy for the emperor to kill her." Yucheng, but Yun Qing and Grandma Sigu's site. The emperor wanted to kill her, but he might not be able to kill her.
Han Jianming said with some worry, "Yuxi is still pregnant!" This is a critical juncture, and there shouldn't be any difference. What's bad is that he can't do anything for the safety of his family.
Mr. Zhao said, "Grandma Sigu will be fine, don't worry about Grandpa Guo!" In fact, Mr. Zhao didn't have a better idea. Although the emperor is controlled by others, it is easy to want the life of the Han family, so this will not be possible.
After struggling for a whole night, I didn't think of a better way. I didn't expect to receive the imperial decree the next day, and the emperor appointed him as Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
The news came back to the backyard, and the female relatives in the backyard were all happy. The subordinates in the mansion are also close to Rong Youyan. Shangshu of the Ministry of War, one of the six chief officials, a real high position.
The Qiu family happily said: "Send someone to the Deyue Tower to set the table waiting for you. Today we have a good celebration." The son is promoted and the mother is the happiest. But this joy was gone when he saw Han Jianming who had returned from the palace.
Knowing a child is no better than a mother. The Qiu family knows that his son has always wanted to show off his ancestors. This will be promoted, but her son's face is half happy, she knows it's wrong: "Ming'er, is there anything wrong with the position of the Minister of War?"
There is nothing wrong with the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. It's just that what the emperor wants him to do is not quite right. Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Mother, there are rebellions around now. The position of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is like a hot potato. Whoever picks it up will be unlucky." Han Jianming didn't dare to tell the truth to Qiu, for fear that Qiu would be worried.
Qiu's said: "I said why such a good lack will fall on you. Dare to be a hot potato! But it doesn't matter. If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, we won't do it."
Han Jianming feels bitter, but the problem now is that it’s appropriate if you don’t want to be it! However, Han Jianming didn't show half of it, and said, "Well, I will try my best."
Seeing that his son was not in a good mood, Qiu changed the subject and said: "Count it down, the child in Yuxi's belly should be more than six months old. I have prepared some small clothes and other things for her, after two ** **Send someone to the northwest."
Han Jianming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send it in two days." The thing must not be sent, or the emperor thought he was telling the news. But the mother's words can't be disobeyed, only these things can disappear in the middle of the road. Fortunately, this kind of thing happens often, and it won't make his mother suspicious. I just don't know if Yuxi hasn't received anything from my mother for a long time, will he be suspicious. Han Jianming hoped that Yuxi would be suspicious, so that it might be safer.
The Qiu family couldn't help saying, "I only hope that this child is a son." If two girls are born, the pressure will be great.
Han Jianming appeased the Qiu family and said: "It will definitely be the son." Sons and not sons are second, the most important thing now is to overcome this difficulty. Han Jianming had a headache and didn't know how to pass the news to Yuxi.
At this time, Yuxi, how did he know that the emperor was ready to put her to death! If she knew, she would definitely be more guarded. It's a pity that Yuxi doesn't know anything.
Yun Qing said to Yuxi, “As soon as I got the news, the rebel army has now expanded to more than 42,000 people.” In just over half a month, the number has doubled, and it also accounted for three states. County, this speed made Yun Qing feel a little frightened.
Yuxi felt that it was normal and said: "The people are so oppressed by Ji Xuan that they can't live anymore. If they are rectified by Ji Xuan like this, they will have to die. If you follow the rebellion, at least there is still a way to survive." Rebellion is death, no Rebellion is also a death, anyway, it is a death, and it is hard to fight.
Yuxi knew that Yun Qing was worried: "Peng Lianggong is short-sighted and narrow-minded, and can't tolerate people. Don't worry about him." Knowing that Peng Lianggong was squeezing out the rebels, Jun Yuanbo, the No. 2 leader, she knew that Peng Lianggong was not a threat to them.
Yun Qing was not worried that he could not deal with Peng Lianggong, but worried that there were too many rebels and that they would pay too much for the rebellion. Today's Northwest Army is basically trained by him alone, and the loss is too great, and he feels distressed.
Yuxi was also worried before, but she was worried about Peng Lianggong, not how many people Peng Lianggong has: “The more people there are, sometimes it’s not beneficial.” As the number of people increases, rations and weapons are two major issues. Rations can be obtained by grabbing grain merchants, wealthy households, etc., but weapons are not so easy to obtain. As far as Yuxi knew, none of these rebels had a decent weapon.
While talking, Xu Wu suddenly shouted outside: "General, the army has an urgent order." The letter sent was added urgent, indicating that the situation is urgent.
Yun Qing strode out. It was inconvenient for Yuxi to hold up her belly, so she immediately called Zijin and asked Zijin to help her to the front yard.
When Yuxi arrived in the study, she looked at Yun Qing with a gloomy face, and asked, "What's the matter?" Don't be the fault of Feng Dajun.
Yun Qing handed the letter on the table to Yuxi, and said: "This group of rebels is really bold enough to have an idea to fight for food." Although they had this worry before, these people really came to grab the food and still said no in their hearts. Annoyed out.
After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and said: "More than 200,000 stone of food, no one will be excited. But these rebels are too arrogant. They only sent two thousand people to grab our food." This time, Feng Dajun. They were ambushed. The speed of so many grains and grass is too slow, and it is easy for someone to detour and lie in front of them. It's just that two thousand people want to snatch their food. This is too much to take the cavalry of the Northwest Army seriously. You know, the strength and combat effectiveness of these cavalry is several times that of ordinary soldiers. It was these people who underestimated the enemy. Two thousand people were all destroyed by the Feng Dajun.
Yun Qing said: "These rebels thought they had fought a few big victories and they couldn't find North." Speaking of this, Yun Qing was full of fire. Each state and county has its own battalion and guards, and these people will become their replacements for the Northwest Army in times of crisis. But these people, not to mention fighting, just heard the rebels coming, and they all ran away. This is why Peng Lianggong occupied three counties in less than a month.
Yuxi said, "There is a raging soldier, and a raging nest. The generals flee away watching the wind. Wherever the soldiers below will stay where they are, they will naturally follow. In the final analysis, it is not on the soldiers, but on the officials. Body.” Of course, this is true of military attachés, and so are civil servants. The officials from several states and counties near Nancheng were almost gone.
Yun Qing agreed with Yuxi's statement.
Yuxi asked: "Yu Cong should be almost here at this time!" Upon receiving the news that the counter-insurgency army was annihilated, Yun Qing sent Yu Cong with two thousand elite soldiers to meet Feng's army. In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, there are actually more than two thousand elite soldiers, but this is just to be on the safe side. Regarding this decision, no one in the entire army felt wrong. This is their rations. If they were taken away by the rebels, they would have to be hungry.
Yun Qing said, "It will be here in a few days." This time no cavalry was sent, but infantry was sent, so the speed was slower.
Yuxi asked, "There shouldn't be anything wrong before the meeting?" Although she believed in the capabilities of Feng Dajun and the Northwest Army cavalry, she was still a little worried.
Yun Qing said, "Don't worry about this. If it is found that it is not right, the army will find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack and wait for reinforcements." The main reason is that there are eight hundred cavalry following, Yun Qing is not worried.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Uncle Huo has a really good vision." These are all people cultivated by Huo Changqing, and each of them is so good. Looking at her again, Yuxi was embarrassed, and she brought up a purple pansy, who was still a brave and foolish girl.
Yun Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Huo said, those girls can be used for you after being trained for a while." This time Huo Changqing also selected more than a dozen young girls to train together. These little girls were nurtured for Yuxi.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Then I'll wait." In this respect, she is far behind Huo Changqing, so the three of them should each give full play to their strengths! R8
