Golden Stage

Beijing, at night when the lights are on.

The case was piled with a whole table of documents, Yan Xiaohan buried his head in the middle of it, and he couldn't be busy. The porridge in the tray had been cold for a long time. The housekeeper and the old servant lingered outside the door for a long time, and finally hardened their scalp and stomped in.

"Master, you've been watching it for a day, just rest your eyes and use something."

Yan Xiaohan was unmoved, brushed the last few lines, threw the pen, and rubbed his wrist. He lazily leaned back against the back of his chair, and his slender upper body bent an arc. Breathing out: "Okay, I'm finally done."

The words didn't stop, he suddenly turned his head and sneezed. The steward panicked: "Oh, what's wrong? But don't catch cold ... I'll let you cook a bowl of **** soup?"

Yan Xiaohan wrinkled her nose and waved her hand, "It's okay to make a fuss."

The steward laughed: "Everyone says‘ think twice, swear three times, ’then someone is thinking about you.”

Just after speaking, Yan Xiaohan sneezed again.

Old servant: "... I'll cook **** soup for you."

Yan Xiaohan smirked and said, "Forget it, come back. Isn't this normal?"

At first, the steward wondered why it was "normal". After a while, he understood the meaning of the words. He looked at him with amusement and said, "At this time, Lord Hou is afraid that he has arrived in Yanzhou and is thinking about the adult."

He also said, "My grandfather talks loudly. You are too busy to be black and white. It is too hurting to light up the oil. If Grandpa Hou is there, I will never let you work so hard."

"Huh?" Yan Xiaohan raised an eyebrow and frowned. "That's ... Madam hasn't come through the door yet, you'll use him to press me first?"

The steward looked that he was not angry and did not sneer, but was rather happy, and boldly said: "You and Hou Ye will be on the same level and support each other for a lifetime. Someone knows cold and hot, and considers you- How can this be called oppression? "

Yan Xiaohan smiled with the flattering expression of his words. After the smile, he said again: "Coming to the New Year's Eve, I see the villagers come one after another to give New Year's gifts. Jing Ninghou is celebrating the New Year in the north this year. Pick him some thick fur satin and send it to him. And what about the artisan I asked you to find? "

The talents have gone for a few days. I am afraid that the dry food brought from Beijing has not been eaten yet, so I remember to send new things to pass. The steward said good-bye to their grandfather, who was usually very dignified. They really loved people. It was also tender and considerate, and they couldn't let go.

The housekeeper beautified Yan Xiaohan in his heart while answering: "Yes. The craftsmen are all looking for, because there is no need to move the civil engineering, only two or three craftsmen can make it. Only the pond you said needs to be drawn first, When you buy stone, you read the drawings correctly, and they start working slowly. "

"It's okay, just do it before February 12th," Yan Xiaohan said. "You have to work harder these days. What you need to do is to pay for the money. If there is no one out there at Yinguo Mansion, you will follow The people in the ceremony department discussed it. "

After Fu Shen left, more things had to be handled in Yan Xiaohan's hands. In fact, before Fu Shen came in, he lived like this. It was only later that there was an additional patient in the family who needed to be served. Yan Xiaohan was afraid that he could not care for him, and he was unwilling to disturb Fu Shen's illness with vulgar services. He then pushed many things back and forth until now.

When Fu Shen lived in Yan's government, apart from being summoned in the palace, Yan Xiaohan basically stayed outside and did not socialize with people. After returning home, he went home immediately, accompanied him to eat and take medicine, and held him in the yard. Waiting for him to wash and bath; although the two live in separate rooms, he will have to go to Fu Shen's bedroom before going to bed, and wait for someone to fall asleep before leaving ... Some of these things can actually be done for others, some can not Do, but what time did Fu Shen spend in Jingning Hou Mansion, Yan Xiaohan has seen with his own eyes, since it is in his hands, Fu Shen will not let him suffer any more.

He watched this man's back again and again, knowing that he couldn't stay. Now that Fu Shen can't move, can he try to keep one and keep him from leaving?

What he is currently dealing with, in addition to official duties, there are also some private matters, one is the rumor that Wei Xuzhou has been investigating long ago, and the other is the fact that Fu Shen was assassinated. In the latter case, the emperor ordered the three law divisions to conduct a thorough investigation. Two months later, the three law divisions went to close the case yesterday. Yan Xiaohan, who was at the bankrupt, also looked at it, it was all nonsense. The Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment was nothing more than taking "defensive guards" as a reason, and took in the local generals, found several spies of the Dai people, tried out the confession, and then pushed all the crimes to the Dongdai people. Checked.

As for who instructed the assassination mission, where did the gunpowder that caused the landslide come from, and whether the assassination object was the East Prince Little Prince or Fu Shen, these problems are still behind the fog.

The officials of the three law divisions had a tacit understanding, and refused to make a fuss about this case. Perhaps the emperor's fear of Fu Shen had been seen from the marriage. Only Du Youshi, a right-hand man named Gu Shanlu from Ducai Academy, insisted that the case was suspicious and asked for further investigation, but his memorial was not submitted to the Holy See at all, and he was long overwhelmed by the **** Bingpen.

Yan Xiaohan couldn't use Feilongwei to investigate, secretly, it took more work, but with little effect. Because it is related to the secrets of the Bei Yan Army, and Fu Shen has always guarded Feilongwei strictly, it is difficult for his people to find out any useful news. The only gain in the past two months was the excavation of a "grass road" between the state army and border horse bandits in private.

"Grass Road" corresponds to "Official Road", as the name implies, refers to the secret trade between officers and soldiers and civilian merchants. Businessmen traveled from place to place, and the army could buy food, medicine, foreign firearms and swords from these people. Some even once lined up Dongying and the Han Army for food, tea, salt and other things in exchange for war horses.

In the early years, official roads opened and stopped, taxes were extremely high, and grass roads came into being. It's no exaggeration to say that every border guard in Da Zhou has at least one "grass road."

If gunpowder really flows from the "grass road", Qingshayu is located in the northernmost tip of Tongzhou.

According to Fu Shen, the emperor's eyeliner was a senior general of the Northern Yan Army. The early state army had separated from the Northern Yan Iron Riders. The North Yan Army's west defense line and Wonju area were closely connected to it.

Who is that person? Perhaps Fu Shen already knows it. However, Yan Xiaohan didn't need to know too accurately, and he couldn't intervene in the matter of the North Yan Army.

But if Fu Shen can't get rid of that person, whether for Fu Shen or himself, for public and private reasons, Yan Xiaohan will have to go up and make another knife.

As for the other thing, it was unexpected to him. The earliest rumor of the broken sleeve came from Fu Shen's stepmother Qin. Her daughter was a good wife in the East Palace, blowing pillows to the prince, so the prince was able to come up with such a bad trick to marry the emperor, to "divide the worries" for Emperor Yuan Tai.

I don't need to check the extra ones. I want to know that Qin's painstaking efforts to harm Fu Shen are nothing more than to let her pro-son attack the lord, so that Fu Shen will obstruct it, so he takes the lead and wants Fu Shen to "break off the children".

A selfish and vicious woman, after playing with one's house yin and private tricks, almost became the beginning of the change of Bei Yan's military power and stirred up the situation.

How ironic and stupid.

However, when Yan Xiaohan first heard the news, what made her most angry was not that she made a rumor that Fu Shen had broken his sleeves and caused the scourge of today, but that she remembered the phrase "I have no mother" when Fu Shen said in the cave.

Even if you do n’t have a mother, you have to be rubbed by an unkind stepmother. How did he come over these years?

Yan Xiaohan calmed down in the Feilong Guard House for a moment, and found a subordinate, and commanded: "Jingninghou has a brother named Fu Ya. I heard that he often fights chickens and dogs at a young age. He is a romantic figure. His Majesty never applauded the government of Yinguo State for being too public, and Jingning Hou promised me not to treat him as a brother. "

The subordinates are personal, and they can tell at a glance: "My subordinates understand. Dare to ask the adult whether he will not use it immediately, or will he slowly empty his body with medication?"

"Not in a hurry," Yan Xiao said with a cold smile. "Slow down. It's best to wait until the seal is closed. The official will have to see. Who else in the Fu family can afford the 'Ying Guogong'? word."

Qin's not fond of killing offspring, then let her baby son taste it first.

As for Fu Liangzhang, Yan Xiaohan originally planned to pack up with Fu Ya. No one knew that the news came from the Prince Donggung Palace. Fu Ting was practicing witchcraft in the palace, attempting to murder the Prince, and was revealed by his confidant maid. The princess concubine read about her family's Fu family, spared her life, seized her place, and punished him to do spy service.

The prince was confused, the prince concubine Cen was a smart man.

I don't know how Qin felt when she saw her children?

Yanzhou City.

Although Fu Shen returned to northern Xinjiang under the name of ancestor worship, he still did not quit the post of commander of the Northern Yan Army. As soon as he entered the city, his subordinates who had waited for him had been welcomed back to Yanzhou Tito House. Except for a few generals patrolling abroad, the remaining generals, large and small, rushed back to Yanzhou City in a pile, wishing each other white-headed and old-aged, and giving birth to a noble child, almost upset Jingning Hou from a wheelchair.

The group of big monkeys quarreled for a long time, and eventually was kicked out of the door by General Fu, who was ashamed and angry, and told Xiao Xi to take people out half a mile.

In the afternoon, Bei Yan military doctor Du Leng checked his leg injury for him and laughed after reading: "Congratulations-"

Fu Shen has formed a conditioned reflex, his face indifferent: "Tongxi."

Du Leng: "..."

The two eyes stared at each other for a moment, Du Leng coughed awkwardly, and said with a smile, "I mean, congratulations to Hou, the wound has recovered well. The doctor who is treating you must be a master hand of a famous doctor, and the bones are almost half grown. With strong muscles, you can leave the wheelchair and walk like an ordinary person in the first half of the year. "

Fu Shen: "..."

He pretended to be fine: "How long will it take to recover?"

"Complete recovery is impossible," Du Leng said patiently. "Depending on your recovery situation, if I first mentioned the method of recovering the achievements of June 7 is the limit."

Fu Shen groaned and said nothing, saying, "Mr. Du, hard."

After Du Leng went out, it didn't take long for another young man to push in the door. The man was slightly older than Fu Shen, with a handsome face and a gentle and friendly look—not the gentleness of Yan Xiaohan's mask, but the natural gentleman's grace. When Fu Shen saw him, he mentioned that he was half-hearted and pointed at the chair and said, "Qing Heng is here. Sit. You have worked hard this time."

The man's name was Yu Qiaoting and the character Qingheng was Fu Shen's friend. During Fu Shen's departure, Beiyan's military affairs were coordinated by him, so that he would not be confused.

Where can Yu Qiaoting sit still? I can't wait to reach out to Fu Shen's collar: "What's the situation in Beijing now, and what's the matter of marriage?"

Fu Shenxuan told him the general situation. After listening to Yu Qiaoting, his face was not good-looking, and he whispered: "The emperor is really ... a rabbit dying to cook and destroy the Great Wall by himself, what good is it for him?"

"He is the prince of a country, and what he sees is different from us," Fu Shen said. "Fortunately, he only thinks that I am dazzling. If I look at the North Yan Army all day, it is really over."

Yu Qiaoting shook his head and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Me?" Fu Shen said inexplicably, "become married, can I still fight against it?"

Yu Qiaoting: "... know that you are going to be married, don't show it up. I mean, do you intend to return the Beiyan Army to the court like this, and let the emperor do whatever he wants?"

Seeing that Fu Shen was slow to answer, he hinted again: "The emperor is getting older ... Jing Yuan, you should think about the future." 2k novel reading network
