Concubine Lan said, "It's useless for my sister to want that high position. I just hope that after my sister finally succeeds, my sister can still enjoy the glory."
Concubine Chang was overjoyed, but she didn't show anything on her face, she glanced at each other, she already had a plan in her heart, "I'm afraid my younger sister hasn't seen my youngest son yet, why don't you come and sit in my palace more often in the future."
Lan Fei complied.
The queen didn't know that her stupid trick made Concubine Chang and Concubine Lan take the opportunity to join forces. If she knew it, she would regret it. At this time, she was really uncomfortable. She almost stayed up all night and couldn't get up in the morning. She was sick, but now it was not suitable to call the imperial physician, so Yu Zhu was asked to bring the calming pills, and after taking them, she continued to lie down and rest.
These things in the palace have nothing to do with Yongning Bofu. When he went to the court today, Emperor Cheng finally talked about the things in the middle of Shu. In order not to appear so guilty, he asked, "I only got the news last night. Why did you go to court yesterday morning? Uncle Yongning asked about the news in Sichuan? But Uncle Yongning got the letter first?"
Chu Xiuming said respectfully, "Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know why there is such a coincidence."
The word "coincidence" is used very well. Most of the courtiers know the inside story and find it funny in their hearts. Could it be that Emperor Cheng really thinks he can hide it? If the Beijing official really only knows about the affairs of the capital, then this official position may not be able to sit still, not to mention the arrogant posture of Cheng'en Gong's mansion, it is difficult for people not to know that there is something strange in it. It is right to hold back.
After all, Emperor Cheng had a guilty conscience, so he said, "Ai Qing, there is no need to misunderstand, I just sighed."
"Don't dare." Chu Xiuming's attitude was respectful, his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't see his true emotions at that time.
Emperor Cheng didn't say any more, and Chu Xiuming retreated to his seat and stood there, feeling a bit outstanding among a group of ministers.
Emperor Cheng said, "Those rebels are ungrateful and don't want to serve the country, but they do such a rebellious thing. Which love is willing to put down the chaos for me?"
There was a moment of silence in the hall. They still remembered when Chu Xiuming went to central Fujian. They didn't have Yongningbo's skills and the Chu family's prestige among the sergeants. If they were allowed to go, they might never return.
Emperor Cheng glanced at the courtiers he had promoted, but saw that they all lowered their heads and couldn't see his eyes at all. He felt depressed for a while, because they were all useless talents, "There are less than a thousand rebels, but I have a hundred!" Thousands of troops, at this time, those who put down the chaos will be appointed as generals, leading an army of 50,000... "
At this moment, many people's eyes are bright. If so, this is really not a hard job, it is simply a gift. A few people can't help but look at Chu Xiuming secretly, and there is no slight fluctuation on Chu Xiuming's face. After Emperor Cheng's words fell, someone went up to ask for orders. Looking at the many courtiers kneeling below to ask for the battle, Emperor Cheng glanced at Chu Xiuming. Even if there is no Chu family, I can still sit firmly in this country.
Emperor Cheng quickly selected the candidates, and he had the intention of cultivating military generals, and selected many young talents to join the team, among them was the son of Yonglehou. Yonglehou was very happy, thinking it was just a fool A military merit is also a good thing for the son.
"Uncle Yongning is not feeling well, let's take good care of him during this period." Emperor Cheng said with some pride.
"Yes." Chu Xiuming respectfully replied.
When Chu Xiuming returned to the mansion, his expression was as usual. Even the personal guards didn't see anything, but Shen Jin, who was being supported by a maid outside to take a walk in the sun, looked at Chu Xiuming who had changed into ordinary clothes, and his footsteps stopped After a while, he thought for a while and said, "Husband, give me a hug."
"How long have you been walking today?" Chu Xiuming asked.
Shen Jin looked at Zhao Nanny, and Zhao Nanny said respectfully, "Madam has walked enough today, you can go back to your room to rest."
"Husband!" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming again, and then Chu Xiuming carefully hugged Shen Jin, let her sit on his arm, and wrapped his other arm around her. Shen Jin moved his feet and said, "We Let's go and see the little one."
"Okay." Chu Xiuming agreed.
Shen Jin asked with some embarrassment, "Husband, am I heavy?"
"It's not heavy." Chu Xiuming felt the little lady in his arms, not only her lady, but also his child, and sighed slowly.
It was the first time for Shen Jin to hear Chu Xiuming sigh, but without asking anything, he talked about the things he used this morning in a tender voice, and the little one had already heard their voices, and ran over wagging his tail. Shen Jin put it down, "Little one, do you miss me?"
"Aww!" The little one rubbed Shen Jin's hand with his big dog face.
Chu Xiuming said, "Bring the comb."
"Yes." Immediately, someone not only brought a comb, but also brought a chair over. Chu Xiuming sat on a low stool to comb the little one's hair, Shen Jin sat on the chair, and Anping took a small blanket to cover her legs.
The little one is very honest under Chu Xiuming's hands, and he raises his claws whenever he asks, but the little eyes look at Shen Jin sadly, he is much thinner than before Chu Xiuming came back, and the kitchen no longer gives him delicious big bones, Shen Jin couldn't stop laughing.
After being tidied up by Chu Xiuming, the little one's hair became more fluffy, and finally she shook it and looked extraordinarily beautiful, Chu Xiuming also calmed down completely, and then said, "General and madam, the meals are ready."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Husband, let's go."
Chu Xiuming nodded and patted the little boy on the head, Shen Jin stood up holding An Ning's hand and said, "Husband go back and change clothes first, I will go back."
"Okay." Chu Xiuming also understood now that Shen Jin probably needs to walk around a little bit every day, "Help Madam well."
"Yes." An Ning and An Ping respectfully responded.
Chu Xiuming just left, and when Shen Jin walked back into the house slowly, he saw that Chu Xiuming had changed into regular clothes and was cleaning his hands, Zhao Nanny also prepared water for Shen Jin, An Ning waited on Shen Jin to clean his hands, Anping went to the kitchen to help I came here with my things. Today, the kitchen has prepared a small casserole, which is stewed with vegetables and crispy meat. It is most suitable for use with rice.
As soon as the meal was finished, someone sent a post to Shen Jin. After Shen Jin read it, it was Shen Qi's, "Hey, sister is in a hurry to find me?"
Chu Xiuming said, "I'm afraid it's for Yongle Houshizi."
Shen Jin nodded, looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Does my husband want to see you?" If so, Shen Jin would naturally invite the prince of Yongle Hou to meet her husband at that time. If not, there is a way to see him. It would be nice if Xiuming wasn't in the mansion.
Chu Xiuming said, "See you."
Shen Jin complied, and replied the post to Shen Qi. Chu Xiuming sent Shen Jin back to his room, and then called Guanshi Zhao to the study. Shen Jin felt that Chu Xiuming was very angry, and he didn't know who had offended him. But anyway, it's not her. Chu Xiuming actually holds grudges the most. After thinking about Shen Jin's ability to make someone like Chu Xiuming, I'm afraid he really is Emperor Cheng, but... even if he was sent to Fujian by Emperor Cheng, Chu Xiuming was not angry at all .
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, Shen Jin simply stopped embarrassing herself and gently stroked her stomach.
In the study, Chu Xiuming told Emperor Cheng of the court that he thought he was clever. Manager Zhao's expression changed and he sneered, "This is a joke."
Chu Xiuming didn't speak, the most angry time has passed, thinking of his little lady's eyes, Chu Xiuming calmed down a lot, Zhao Guanshi walked up and down the room angrily, "He arranged so many people to go, fifty thousand soldiers Who do you listen to! There are so many princes and dignitaries who even threw the prince in... "
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhao Guanshi gritted his teeth and said, "No one objected?"
"Fifty thousand and one thousand." Chu Xiuming said in a deep voice, "Even those who think it's wrong don't take these thousand people seriously."
Zhao Guanshi said, "Actually, this matter...is beneficial to us." The 50,000 soldiers sent by Emperor Cheng were all his troops. He just regarded this matter as a military training, but even so, Zhao Guanshi also I felt an indescribable indignation in my heart, "What do they take this for! Playing house?"
Chu Xiuming didn't know how he endured it. Apart from him, some generals who had experienced wars could tell, so those people showed hesitation and didn't take the initiative to ask for orders. Anyway, Emperor Cheng would not use them. For one thousand, as long as you are not a fool, you will not lose.
"What do you think the general will win?" Manager Zhao looked at Chu Xiuming and asked.
Chu Xiuming prepared a pen and paper, and drew the general topography of the middle of Sichuan. He memorized the entire Tianqi map in his heart. The Chu family spent a lot on this map. I am afraid that the map in Emperor Cheng's Palace is not as complete as theirs. , "I don't know how the earthquake happened yet, and I will have to send people to measure it again."
"Yes." Zhao Guanshi was not surprised when he looked at the picture.
Chu Xiuming's drawing is rough, but the general situation is clear at a glance, "The situation in Sichuan is more complicated than other places, not only the terrain, but also... Is there really only a thousand people? Emperor Cheng's self-righteous concealment has already made them The roots are more firmly rooted, relatives are connected to relatives, friends are connected to friends, the same town is in the same town... How many troops are there in Shuzhong? These thousand people are no longer the original thousand."
Guanshi Zhao was startled. He was just angry and felt that the battle would be a miserable victory and many soldiers would be sacrificed. But listening to what Chu Xiuming meant, it seemed like...
Chu Xiuming said, "Even if it's me, I can't say whether I will win or lose, but I'm only 70% sure."
These seven points are naturally defeated. Emperor Cheng has not appointed a prince so far, and finally had a chance to make meritorious service. How could these princes let it go, they would naturally show themselves extra and step down others.
Chu Xiuming continued, "What's more, among them... there may be other tricks."
"The general is worried, Ying..." Manager Zhao couldn't continue.
Chu Xiuming didn't speak any more, but threw the drawn map into the charcoal basin, watched it burn, and said, "Who knows."
Manager Zhao didn't speak any more, and besides the indignation, there was also a trace of helplessness, Chu Xiuming closed his eyes and said, "But it's the common people who suffer."
"General..." Zhao Guanshi looked at Chu Xiuming.
Chu Xiuming shook his head and said nothing more.
