One or two miles away from the city gate, there is a dense forest.
Someone has been waiting in front of the forest for a long time.
The summer night was muggy. Yun Liu took off his almost semi dry black clothes and put on his humble cloth jacket. He wrapped the box in the burden, tied it firmly in front of him, took the reins and rode his horse into the dark.
All the way East.
……
In Dongyuan City, there is continuous rain.
Inside the barracks, there was already a faint speculation among the soldiers.
"Since I signed the cease-fire petition, I have never seen the general come to the barracks again..."
"What's wrong with the general?"
"It must be a little serious, otherwise the war will be over, and the general will not let us stay here for so long?"
"I hope the general will get better soon... Hey, I don't know how my father is ill. I can't speak clearly before leaving Beijing. I'm looking forward to my return..."
These comments on Qin Wu were not unheard of, but at this time, if a military order was issued to block the people's mouth, it would make people more worried.
The news soon spread back to the capital.
——The Duke of the town won the battle of the Li nationality on this trip, but people were ill in Dongyuan city and could not leave for Beijing in a short time.
When all officials heard the news, both the government and the public were shocked, and their hearts were full of different guesses.
Although the Duke of the town is indeed old and his health is not as good as before, it is normal that he suddenly falls ill at such a critical moment, which inevitably makes most people uneasy.
But they didn't know what happened in Dongyuan city. It wasn't just that zhenguogong fell ill.
Yuan Zhao, the vice general appointed by the emperor in this war, has died under the sword of the Duke of Zhenguo - this news has not been spread yet.
In the imperial library, Emperor Qingming was furious about it.
"Those who dare to kill me... Don't you dare say they don't have a different heart!"
"And before I sent the troops, I clearly said that I wanted to take the Li family at one stroke, but without my permission, he made a claim, agreed to the Li family's request for peace and signed the truce... It is clear that he has never paid attention to my words at all!"
Such a rebellious subject and thief will die a hundred times, which is not enough to calm his hatred at this time!
"Since the truce has been signed and the result is clear, your majesty doesn't have to be angry about it anymore." Xia Tingzhen said: "it's good to have a temporary truce. In this current situation, keep Xu Jiajun, which may be of greater use next."
After the Dragon case, Emperor Qingming tightly pursed his green lips. A moment later, his eyes ironically spit out a sentence: "yes, I can't be angry for a dead man."
What about the truce with the Li nationality, and what about the death of Yuan Zhao? The most important thing is that Xu Qiwei will not live.
No, count the days. Maybe he's dead.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qingming held his fist and smiled at the bottom of his eyes.
That's what he values most.
As soon as Xu Qiwei dies, Xu Jiajun's military power will return to his hands
He has waited too long for this day——
Xu Qiwei is just the beginning. Next, he will clean up all the damn people who stand in the way and covet his position one by one!
"What your majesty said is very true." Xia Tingzhen said calmly with a sense of victory: "although there are some changes, generally speaking, everything is under control."
Yuan Zhao is dead.
Yuan Zhao was chosen by the emperor. If he took over Xu Jiajun instead of Xu Qiwei in Dongyuan, it may not be easy to control in the future.
Therefore, he opened his mouth at the right time and said, "I believe that the Duke of Zhenguo is the pillar of the country. The meritorious Minister of Daqing is seriously ill thousands of miles away. Your majesty should send an imperial envoy to meet him."
Emperor Qingming smiled at the speech, nodded and said, "this is nature. I must let someone go to meet the Duke."
The index finger lightly touched the memorial on the Dragon case. Emperor Qingming said casually, "let Zhou Bingming go."
The weight of the Minister of the Ministry of war is enough to show that he cares about the mind of the Duke.
Xia Tingzhen nodded and said, "another military officer must accompany him to deal with possible changes."
"Is there a suitable teacher?"
"There's no need for those with high official positions, otherwise people will easily guess your Majesty's intention..." Xia Tingzhen thought about it for a moment and replied, "I think it's better to choose a thousand generals from the Beijing camp, which can only be used to escort Imperial Envoys."
After hearing this, Emperor Qingming nodded and thought, "speaking of the people in Beijing camp, when I went to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices last time, I had some impression of one person. I still remember that my skill is good and my work is very quick... It seems that my surname is Yue?"
Xia Tingzhen seemed to recall for a moment, then nodded: "there is such a person, and the minister also has an impression. This person is the common grandson of Yueming's family, named yuepei. He really has excellent qualifications."
"It's Yueming's descendant..." emperor Qingming said, "let him go, or maybe he can be made."
Yueming was once a capable man around him. Unfortunately, his life was shorter and his son was not optimistic. Unexpectedly, there was another one available among his grandchildren.
When she got what she wanted, Xia Tingzhen frowned and said, "minister, this will make people arrange and explain the important things clearly."
Emperor Qingming gave a "well", then picked up the folding at hand and said with a smile: "this is sent by the prince of Zhenguo."
Xu Jin?
Xia Tingzhen looked up at the speech: "but for the sake of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
When the news came back that the Duke of Zhenguo was ill in Dongyuan City, the most upset must be the Xu family - if the Xu family still had a little brain.
Speaking of it, Xu Jin, the eldest son of Xu Qiwei, is not a completely brainless person.
Unfortunately, being raised by Xu Qiwei is useless.

In other words, Xu Qiwei deliberately did so in order to preserve the Xu family - but even though he tried to bend his wings and converge his edge, he just reduced his ability to play games with others before he was desperate.
"I asked Xu Yun and his young son to go to Dongyuan city to visit the Duke of town." emperor Qingming said with a smile, "between the lines, I'm afraid that the Duke of town will have an accident in Dongyuan City, and it will be difficult for my children and grandchildren to see the last side again - this is human ethics. How can I refuse?"
Xia Tingzhen also smiled: "Your Majesty is right. There is no reason to refuse."
A loser who can only write and draw, a childish child——
Such two people, big and small, are spoiled and protected at home, and they are still worrying. Now they are going to Dongyuan?
It's really filial.
Even if the Xu family really had another plan, without Xu Qiwei, these people are doomed to be unable to turn over any waves.
"So I decided to go with Zhou Shilang as requested." emperor Qingming put down his memorial and said in a generous and kind tone.
Walking with Zhou Shilang is walking with Yue Pei.
Since we are traveling with yuepei, if the Xu family does anything disrespectful at that time... We can solve it in time.
The feeling that all this is under control makes emperor Qingming feel refreshed and refreshed.
After taking the pill refined by the national master for three days in a row, his headache did not happen again.
