The old general put down his chess pieces and stroked his beard. "Ling state, Jing state and Wu state are neighbors, so the journey will be closer. Beiman is different. They are far away from the Central Plains. Every year, the four countries are the last to come together. It's not in the way. But... "
When the old general said this, he seemed to think of something. He frowned and looked at Ye sang and earnestly told him, "Beiman is fierce in nature. Because he is in a place outside the Great Wall, he is always full of ambition for the Central Plains. Among the four countries, Wu is the richest one in China. Therefore, their coveting for Wu has never stopped for a moment. If you meet Beiman in the capital, you should be careful. "
Ye sang nodded to show understanding.
Looking at Ye Sang's cautious nod, the old general couldn't help touching his beard. He said in his heart: was it too serious just now? What did he do to scare the child? Moreover, the granddaughter-in-law of his general's residence can't let others, especially the envoys of other countries, be too modest when she goes out. How can she show their great power and dignity.
Thinking of this, the old general coughed twice. In Ye Sang's worried eyes, he said solemnly: "although Beiman is hard to deal with, they don't have to let them go when they meet. The people in our general's house are not vegetarians. They say they dare to bully you. Just come back and complain to your grandfather. "
Listening to the old general's words, ye sang couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, grandfather. If I meet you, I won't just give in. I always want to show the majesty of the upper kingdom of the Central Plains."
The old general nodded happily, and they talked together for a while. Ye sang coaxed the old general into a big laugh. Thinking that it was almost time, he asked the old general to resign. "It's late, and my grandfather had a rest early. Sonny would go back first, and come to have tea with my grandfather tomorrow."
The old general touched his beard with a smile. "You don't have to come here so early. If you have time, you can have a good rest in your yard. When the four countries get together and all kinds of banquets get together, you won't be able to spare any time."
Ye Sang's heart was warm and he raised his head and said, "sang'er, please obey my grandfather's instructions."
"Well, in that case, go back and have a rest early." The old general waved to Ye sang, and ye sang left.
Looking at Ye Sang's back, the old general sighed, "with this child by my side, I feel relieved."
When the housekeeper heard the old general say this, he said with some doubts: "what is the master worried about?"
The young master and his wife are both rare people. They have a steady and generous personality. They are also reassuring. What else can the master worry about?
The old general got up from his chair and went to the window. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, his old eyes were sharp and fierce. "When you are old, you can't do what you want. These two children naturally have no problem, but they can't stand it. Someone deliberately framed them. Don't forget that the one in the palace has always been covetous of the general's residence, with constant movements. This period of time has stopped. First, it's because of going out in the long night. Second, it's because the gathering of the four countries is imminent. "
Otherwise, according to that man's temperament, if he is not in the capital for a long night, there will be only a group of old and weak women and children left in the general's mansion. How can he let go of such a good opportunity.
When the housekeeper heard the old general say this, he was also a little nervous. "Will that man give a hand to the young master?"
The young master is far away from home, and he doesn't have many people with him. The disaster area is always in chaos. At this time, even if he starts, it's hard to find evidence afterwards.
Think of here, housekeeper heart is also a burst of tension.
The old general held the crutch in his hand and snorted coldly, "if it's so easy to be attacked by the emperor's people, then my general's house won't survive until now." The people under the emperor's hand wanted to kill the grandson he had raised since childhood. They didn't succeed in the battlefield at first, and now they are even less likely to succeed.
But The old general pondered for a while, turned his head to the housekeeper and said: "write a letter to Changye. I'm afraid there's something inside this disaster, especially in the plague. If necessary, if you find anyone suspicious, you can do it first and then. I'll take care of something."
The old general's tone was so serious that the housekeeper was shocked, but he knew it was a big deal, so he went down to write a letter.
The old general stood by the window for a while, looking at the bright lights outside, and sighed.
At the same time, in the palace, the lights were still on.
Yun Shikun, who is over 50 years old but still well maintained, is reading the memorial with a vermilion pen in his hand after sitting down with the emperor.
Ang Lee came in with a cup of hot tea and looked at the little eunuch who was standing beside the emperor. The little eunuch looked down and shook his head at Ang Lee.
With a look of sadness on his old face, Ang Lee stepped forward carefully and put the hot tea in his hand to Yun Shikun.
"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock. You have to go to bed early tomorrow. Why don't you have a rest early. If you go on working like this, I'm afraid you can't eat it! "
Yun Shikun looks up at Ang Lee, puts down his writing brush and takes a sip of tea."Are the envoys of Ling and Yasukuni here?"
Ang Lee quickly bowed his head and said respectfully: "today, all the people from both sides have arrived in the capital. The two countries have sent two princes respectively. They are the princes who don't know how Yasukuni Yun Shikun put himself on the top of his heart."
As the emperor of a country, Yun Shikun naturally knew something about the royal family of other countries. Hearing Ang Lee say this, he immediately frowned. "The second prince of Yasukuni, isn't he a sick young man? What's the matter of bringing a sick young man over for such an important thing as the gathering of the four kingdoms?"
"I don't know what's going on, but fortunately, the second prince of Jingguo didn't come alone. He was accompanied by the ghost general Helian Ji and the fourth Prince of Yasukuni. With these two people and such a group of envoys, there must be no big trouble. Your majesty, take it easy
However, Ang Lee's consolation didn't have a great effect. On the contrary, it made Yun Shikun's brow wrinkle deeper.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Shikun said, "go and send some imperial doctors to the Yasukuni post house to ensure that the second prince of Yasukuni will not have any accidents in the territory of Wu."
Ang Lee was stunned for a moment, so he was respectful. Later, I realized that the second prince of Yasukuni was the beloved son held in his hand by the emperor of Yasukuni. This is what happened in the territory of Wu. Even if it's none of their business, I'm afraid the feud between the two countries will be recorded.
Thinking of this, Ang Lee didn't dare to delay, so he quickly told his men to do it.
After explaining the matter, looking at the obvious pile of memorials in front of Yun Shikun, Ang Lee hesitated and looked at Yun Shikun.
Fortunately, the emperor did not have that idea at this time. He rubbed his forehead and said faintly: "let the people under prepare water. I want to take a bath."
Ang Lee gave a big congratulations and stepped back.
When the four countries got together, the important ministers of the other three countries came to Wu one after another. Beiman also came to Wu the day before the four countries got together.
Since the people of the other three kingdoms had come together, Yun Shikun also held a dust washing banquet in the palace, inviting envoys from the other three kingdoms and the prince to attend.
Naturally, the prince and ministers of the state of Wu had to attend this banquet. In the general's house, Ji Changye left, and the responsibility fell to the old general.
Ye sang got up before dawn and told the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The old general, who had not been to court for a long time, was wearing a black court uniform today. Although he was white haired, his eyes were shining, and he was not angry.
Seeing ye sang standing in the yard, the old general was a little surprised, but with a kind smile on his face, "why did Sonny get up so early today?"
Ye sang went up to the old general and bowed slightly to salute him. He raised his head. His clear eyes were crescent shaped. "Sang Er has never seen his grandfather in military uniform, but his grandfather in court uniform is solemn and dignified. Because of his powerful appearance, he should let the envoys of the other three countries open their eyes."
Hearing Ye Sang's compliment in the early morning, the old general laughed in a good mood, "you girl, you will say these sweet words to coax me, the old man."
Ye sang took the old general's arm with a smile and took him to the dining room. "What Sonny said is true, absolutely not false. My grandfather is going to attend the dust washing banquet today. Most of the banquets in the palace can't eat much, so I have to suffer a lot at the end of the day. Sonny asked the people in the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. Let's go after grandpa finishes
Sun's daughter-in-law's kindness made the old general refuse, especially when he saw that most of the things on the table were his favorite food in the morning, and his smile became even stronger.
"Sure enough, girls know how to love each other. When I went to the banquet, the smelly boy in Changye never thought about this."
The general can't help but complain again. Ye sang listens with a smile and doesn't have the slightest meaning of distinguishing for Ji Changye. Seeing the old general like this, he is more and more happy.
His grandson's bad temper, he is really afraid that sang girl can't stand him, now it seems, it's not as pessimistic as he imagined.
In the morning, the old general went out to the palace with the housekeeper.
And here Ye sang orders his men to clean up the breakfast, and gets up to go to the green bamboo garden to greet Leng Ruolan.
Every morning lengruolan gets up early to worship the Buddha. When ye sang arrives at cuizhuyuan, lengruolan already litigates his scriptures in the Buddhist hall.
Standing at the door, mother Leng saw that ye Sang was coming, and even with a smile on her face, she met her eagerly.
