There is Yangling Zhai in Zijin Palace, which overlooks the whole city. There is Book Pavilion on the top floor. Outside the Zhai building, there is a stone carved Lilong spitting water. Aunt Sweet Potato has five crabapple trees planted by her hands. Standing at the window, it takes an hour to stand. Sweet potatoes can swim leisurely in only one-third of an acre of land in Wutong Garden. Like koi swimming in water, it is absolutely impossible in Dunhuang City. Now 70,000 to 80,000 people have to look up to it Breathe, she is like a young queen who hangs down the curtain to govern. Although there are a group of capable female officials from the Zijin Palace to help handle political affairs, the forces in Dunhuang City are entangled, intricate and messy, and she is required to make a final decision. Don't let her stick to your side, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, even if this wall is the emperor's house wall, it can't hide it. Xu Fengnian, who hides and wanders around in the palace from time to time, feels an undercurrent surging, and the tentacles spread to In addition, Xu Fengnian didn't know if this was the normal state of Juxian Palace and Dunhuang City. She asked Sweet Potato once, and she said that Dunhuang City was in the hands of her aunt. Outside the city, the city of Dunhuang is a mess, and the forces beholden to her aunt all watched her go out of the city alone, and return after a serious injury. You are the lord of Dunhuang City, who will step in if you don't? If you die, you just change masters. If the city is destroyed, Luoyang will kill innocent people indiscriminately. Seventy to eighty thousand people, it is impossible to kill us, isn't it? Changing masters, the worst thing is that everyone suffers together, it's better than being slaughtered by the devil right now. When Xu Fengnian heard this answer, he laughed it off.
Sweet Potato asked at that time: "If Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry failed to guard the northwest gate one day, and millions of households in Beiliang Road would be arrested without a fight, and they would even take refuge in Beimang and turn against Beiliang's army. Feel cold?"
Xu Fengnian asked back: "If you were me, what would you do?"
Sweet Potato wiped her lips with her fingers, and said with a smile: "If the servant girl is such a hereditary son as the king of Beiliang, there really is such a thing. It's okay if I don't see it. If I see one, I will kill one."
Xu Fengnian sighed, "It's still a bit overkill for you to be the lord of Dunhuang City."
After all, Wenrou Township is a tomb of heroes. Speaking of sweet potatoes, five hundred miles to the north, Jinxi Prefecture is the site where the Wu family's nine swords broke ten thousand riders. Xu Fengnian thought of leaving the city. , she is wearing a dragon robe, sitting high on a dragon chair, and posing as a ruler of the world. If an old official of the Beimang imperial tent sees this scene, she will only mistakenly think that her majesty is rejuvenated. In the late spring, it was a night of absurdity. Fortunately, Dunhuang City didn't say anything earlier. Before dawn, we went back to Qingyuanyuan together. The two of them had a mandarin duck bath. Sweet Potato circled around twice, checking for omissions and filling in vacancies. She only wanted to be perfect, but she really couldn't find any faults, so she said with a look of regret: "Young Master, dressed like a scholar with poetry and books in his stomach, is very good-looking, but the purple python clothes Looks better."
Xu Fengnian patted the Spring and Autumn Sword, and said softly: "Don't give it away."
Sweet Potato shook his head and said, "Send it to Ben Yuan's door."
When they came to the door of the Ksitigarbha Yuanyuan, the sweet potato said that it would be sent ten miles away. Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "According to your delivery method, just go back to Beiliang."
Sweet Potato was taken care of by Xu Fengnian again, and he asked, "Really don't want that Yezhao Jade Lion? Even if you're afraid of being eye-catching, you can just get a good horse to ride on. If you get impatient, just throw it away."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I don't know who is taking care of who. It's still easy to walk. Feelings are coming out, and I don't want to just throw them away."
Sweet Potato said softly, "Young Master, let's go."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "You should go back to Beiliang as soon as possible. I still say that, no matter how important Dunhuang City is in the layout of Beiliang, I want you to live well."
Sweet Potato lowered his eyebrows and said, "This servant knows."
Xu Fengnian thought for a while, then continued: "Little eunuch Tong Guan, you can sit on the sidelines for another two or three years, and then send him to Yangling Zhai. This child's literacy, reading and martial arts foundation will require you to pay more attention to it. Totally ignoring and resigning to fate, that’s not okay either.”
Sweet Potato smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry, after the winter birthday, Dunhuang City will be amazed. There are really a few secret books suitable for him to practice in the Sutra Pavilion, so he is lucky."
Xu Fengnian hummed, and said in a low voice: "I hope there will be one more person in the world who will live up to his painstaking efforts."
"gone."
Xu Fengnian turned his back to the sweet potato with sleeves like hibiscus in brocade clothes, and waved his hand.
Sweet Potato seemed to want to catch up, and retracted as soon as he stepped on the ground, staying for a long time, when the morning bell in the palace rang, he walked through the Benyuan Gate, walked to Yeting Palace, stood on Duichun Mountain and looked into the distance, Dunhuang The city is in the hands of her aunt as usual, and the scale of this kind of court meeting is not large, that is, all parties in the city who are entitled to a share of the pie gather together to share the benefits. It has not been achieved, and Sweet Potato does not expect to be united with the enemy, but it seems that even the superficial harmony is now an extravagant hope. She squinted her eyes, exuding a completely different cold air from when she was with Xu Fengnian. The clowns should come to the surface. In fact, as soon as the aunt died, they began to clamor, especially after confirming that the devil Luoyang was too lazy to intervene in Dunhuang City. The old fox is going to take her, a weak and weak fox, with a knife. Isn't the rumor of face-to-face stealing power that is spreading wildly in the city now just the bait that their house casts? Sweet Potato slowly walked down Duichun Mountain. Although she is a first-class maid in Beiliang Palace, she spends two or three months in Dunhuang City every year, watching how her aunt handles political affairs with her own eyes. They only know that she is the niece that the "Second King" will cultivate as the next city lord, but they don't know that she is a brocade musk deer.
Walking down the mountain and passing a flower garden, I accidentally met Dongshou who got up early to work for the old eunuch master. Standing outside the flower garden, Sweet Potato stood quietly.
The little eunuch had seen her from a distance, and had a vague impression of her, and regarded her as a court lady who had an affair with her benefactor, and smiled shyly, shyly and sincerely. Carefully thinking that Mr. Mason has a good eye, this elder sister looks like the Dunhuang Flying Immortal in the mural.
Sweet Potato said softly, "Your name is Dongshou?"
The little eunuch hurriedly put down the bronze kettle in his hand, knelt down to pay his respects with bright eyes, "Dongshou has met the lady officer."
Sweet Potato smiled and said: "Get up, kneeling for a long time, your clothes will have to be washed again. It's rainy in late spring, and you have to do it in these two days. If it doesn't dry, it will be uncomfortable to wear."
Dongshou stood up slowly, with clear eyes and a bright smile, he said: "The female officer's sister is a bodhisattva, I promise you will be blessed and blessed."
Sweet Potato smiled brightly and said: "Sure enough, I'm not mistaken. I'm young and caring. Your master's phlegm is yellow and sticky, and hemoptysis has been repeated all year round. It's tuberculosis. I'll ask you to treat it later. The root cause of the disease may not be cured. But it will allow him to spend his old age in peace."
Dongshou burst into tears, kowtowed and said: "Sister and Mr. Mason are living Bodhisattvas, Dongshou will never forget your great kindness in this life!"
Sweet Potato said coldly: "Cry more and kneel more, burn incense in temples, kowtow to Buddha, these are the best habits in the palace."
When the little eunuch raised his head, there was no sign of the fairy sister.
Sweet Potato walks out of Ye Ting Palace, there is a line between the two palaces, which is the Yulong Road, which is a thunder pool. Several dead men and women who were trained by their aunts are standing solemnly, with a look of death on their brows.
They walked towards the Baixiang Gate, the south gate of Juxian Palace, and an oval-faced female officer said softly, "City Lord, out of the five hundred Jinwu guards outside the palace, three hundred are loyal, and the other two hundred have been bribed."
A tall female officer who looks like a burly man said calmly: "Miss, there is news from the spies, except that Buquetai is vacillating and unwilling to show up early, and the two big families of Yuwen and Duanmu are standing still. Gathered outside the White Elephant Gate, taking the opportunity to break into the palace for a coup d'etat. Among them, the Mao family hired nearly a hundred people from the Jianghu with a lot of money, trying to take advantage of the infighting of the Jinwu Guards' weapons, and the 500 Jinwu Guards outside the city were led by Mao Rou. They are about to rush through the main city gate, and they will rush towards the Giant Immortal Palace with great momentum, and the Zijin Palace has no extra strength to stop it. Miss, this may cause many neutral people to fall to those traitors."
A female official in purple satin dress with a baby face frowned and said, "Master, why don't you let your servants contact Luoyang, the demon head? When the city lord was alive, he said that when this day comes, he can move out this demon head to suppress the rebellious forces. Even if it is to refuse wolves to attract tigers, it is better than these unfamiliar white-eyed wolves to be the new masters of Dunhuang City. After all, Luoyang is the nominal lord of Ye Ting Palace, and his name is justified. Occupying the magpie's nest is too powerful."
Sweet Potato reached out and tapped the female officer's forehead, jokingly said: "I have turned my elbows to that demon, Luoyang has not yet entered Dunhuang City, and I will pay it back in the future, why don't you sell me?"
The baby-faced female officer blushed, puffed up her cheeks and said: "The palace master bullies people!"
Along the way, more than a dozen old eunuchs with blood on their hands and sleeves joined in one after another, and the internal troubles in the palace were resolved. In front of Sweet Potato, they all regard themselves as courtiers. They are all hidden chess games played by Aunt Sweet Potato before her death. There are many people who seem to have defected and joined the enemy camp. The Jinwu guards with handles are more manly, and they know how to recognize a master to be loyal. Counting the infighting of those eunuchs in power, the emperor likes to delegate power to the eunuchs around him. It doesn't make sense. Power ministers can sit on dragon chairs, and relatives can approve yellow robes. Who has heard of an eunuch who has no descendants to become emperor himself
Thirty golden soldiers in heavy armor also joined the team.
Sweet Potato smiled, and he had a grand death.
Hundreds of people are always dragged to be buried with him before he dies.
In this way, Dunhuang City will be completely clean.
At that time, it will be the turn of the Beiliang forces that even she doesn't know the details to take over.
The last time when she was out of Beiliang, she listened to Li Yishan in Chaoge face-to-face to give her advice, so she calculated it in this way, every step was perfect, and she had no complaints.
Once you leave Beiliang, you will never return to Beiliang.
Sweet potatoes look back to the north.
Young master go away.
What she didn't know was the gate of Dunhuang City.
A young man with a sword in his hand, who looked like a scholar, faced five hundred cavalrymen, guarding the city gate alone for her.
