Chapter 356

It's not because of compassion for the death of the National Teacher's wife. In the palace for many years, she has long been used to watching life and death. Unless she cares about someone, she won't care about anyone who dies.

She just sighed at the man's coldness.

Because of her beauty, she is still valuable to the national teacher. If she does not have such beauty, the national teacher will throw her away as a rag.

I used to be so stupid that I fell in love with the national teacher for so long.

……

When the national master's wife died, he still went to court every day. Just as it didn't happen to him, the one who died was not his wife, but an insignificant person next door.

His son was also an official in the imperial court. His son witnessed his mother's tragedy. For a time, he couldn't forgive the national teacher. He didn't even call when he saw the national teacher.

The national teacher didn't care and didn't want to explain anything to his son.

He thinks that he is now rich and powerful, and his son's wings are not full. One day, his son will ask him for official affairs, and then he can repair the relationship.

Therefore, the two father and son are like enemies. One doesn't care and the other has resentment in his heart.

……

north.

Yan Ziyan had only tens of thousands of troops. However, after defeating Jing Feng in Beiqing, their army kept expanding. Some men who wanted to join the army nearby took refuge one after another. For a time, it was expanded to 100000 troops.

With the expansion of troops and horses, there must be food and pay.

Therefore, Yan Ziyan asked the imperial court to allocate support, otherwise the North could not raise so many soldiers and horses.

It is reasonable to say that the expansion of troops and horses in the north is a good thing. The war in the North has just stopped and needs to be consolidated. Only in this way can Beiqing dare not attack. Moreover, after a war, it is necessary to cultivate new forces.

Therefore, Li Chengkun showed Yan Ziyan's admonition to the national teacher.

As soon as the national teacher saw it, he threw the admonition book away and said, "wolf ambition, really wolf ambition!"

Li Chengkun also frowned and asked, "why does the national master think so?"

In fact, Li Chengkun thought so, but he hoped that these words would come from the National Teacher's mouth.

The national teacher said, "Your Majesty, the food and salaries can't be allocated. Although the North needs to be consolidated, Yan Ziyan has to guard against it. After all, he was born as a grass-roots bandit, and he led a group of grass-roots bandits. I'm afraid these people will rebel one day."

Li Chengkun asked, "what does the National Teacher mean?"

The national master pinched his beard: "the soldiers and horses in the North should be expanded, but the leader can't be Yan Ziyan, but our own people!"

Li Chengkun said, "I have the same intention."

The national teacher said, "so Yan Ziyan can't stay. We have to kill him secretly. In this way, the grass bandits have no head. We'll send someone to replace him."

Li Chengkun found it difficult: "the best candidate to take Yan Ziyan's life is Xiao Baoshan, but Xiao Baoshan obviously doesn't want to do it."

"Why don't I send wanshijie," the national teacher said, "give wanshijie the title of the military headquarters, take the opportunity of inspection and find another opportunity to kill Yan Ziyan."

Li Chengkun asked cautiously, "is wanshijie reliable?"

"At least he is loyal to me. He doesn't recognize death like Xiao Baoshan."

Li Chengkun thought about it and thought it was the only way, so he promised wanshijie.

……

Xiao Fu.

Xiaobaoshan can rest today without going to the military headquarters.

It was not very cold that day, so he suggested that ye Xiaoxian go out for a walk.

Ye Xiaoxian has been staying at home and never left the house. She thinks that although she is a popular person in the capital recently, there should not be many people in the capital who recognize her. In addition, with the rest of xiaobaoshan, she might as well go out for a walk.

Instead of wearing the gorgeous clothes given by the palace, she dressed herself as simple as possible, like a girl.

Xiao Baoshan thought it funny: "you're hiding your ears."

"Why did you hide your ears and steal the bell?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

Xiao Baoshan said, "I'm the one around you. Don't others know you're Mrs. Xiao?"

Ye Xiaoxian suddenly said, yes, Xiao Baoshan has been riding a big horse since he returned to Beijing. The people in the capital know what he looks like. If she walks beside him, how can others not know that she is Mrs. Xiao.

It's better to dress up to avoid losing face to Xiao Baoshan.

Besides, she is Princess Ningyuan at least.

So he changed into some beautiful clothes. Although it was still plain, the whole person's temperament was improved many times.

……

After coming to the capital for so long, ye Xiaoxian only came out with Jin Xiaoyu, so she is not familiar with the way of the capital. She only probably knows where there are delicious restaurants.

It's winter and there are few people on the street, but restaurants and teahouses are full.

Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan strolled in the street for a while, then they found a teahouse to sit down and planned to listen to the play together.

As soon as they entered, they attracted a lot of attention. Someone recognized Xiao Baoshan and shouted, "Hey, isn't that General Xiao?"

"It's General Xiao. He's tall and powerful. I can recognize him at a glance."

"Next to him is Mrs. Xiao?"

"I didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to look so good. They are really a pair of beautiful people."

“……”

Some people also greeted Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian, and Xiao Baoshan responded politely. At this time, people's favor for him doubled. It's unexpected that a general who looks like an iron faced and selfless general is so easygoing and grounded outside.

Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian asked for a cubicle upstairs and some peanut tea. Then they were ready to see the play.

Now it's already playing downstairs, but it's half done. I don't know the beginning and end. Ye Xiaoxian can't see what it's playing. She just thinks she's watching the opera channel now. She can't see it and doesn't listen carefully.

So they talked about Jin Xiaoyu and the recent events in the capital.

They thought that Jin Xiaoyu should have returned to the tribe by now. Even if she didn't return to the tribe, she was safe now.

As for the recent events in the capital, that is, the death of the National Teacher's wife, ye Xiaoxian felt that the national teacher was so cold that even her wife could treat her like this.

Xiao Baoshan didn't say anything but listened to Ye Xiaoxian.

The previous scene was soon over and soon changed to the next one.

Maybe because it was from the beginning, ye Xiaoxian watched it.

Although I still can't hear what they are singing, I can guess a little by language and expression.

Ye Xiaoxian listened attentively to the play.

Just listening, I suddenly heard a sarcastic voice from behind: "Oh, isn't this Xiao Shilang and what Princess Ningyuan?"

Ye Xiaoxian was disturbed by the play and turned around unhappily. Then she saw Tao Baoqun and Bao Yuda who had seen in the hunting ground that day.

These two people also came out to listen to the play, but they just listen to the play. Do you need such a strange tune of yin and Yang.

Ye Xiaoxian said: "Oh, these two are not very good at hunting and making up stories... Childe Tao and childe Bao? Why, come out to see the play? You should watch more, so that you won't be beaten again when you need to make up the play next time."

"You..." Bao Yuda looked at Ye Xiaoxian angrily and was speechless.

Tao Liqun was also angry, but he could bear it: "Princess Ningyuan can act. She is clearly the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager and the national teacher. She helped to force the National Teacher's wife to death. Unexpectedly, she is still in the mood to watch the play here."

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help being angry: "Mr. Tao wants to tell evidence. The rumor was spread from the teahouse at the beginning. Now do you want to spread it again? If you insist on saying so, OK, let's go to Jingzhao Yamen and ask Fu Yin to comment on it. See if Fu Yin agrees with you."

For a time, Tao Liqun was also speechless. He just felt that ye Xiaoxian's mouth was too powerful.

Tao Liqun and Bao Yuda deliberately want to tease Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan, but they don't take advantage of it at all. They are unwilling, but they have no choice but to take ye Xiaoxian.

They went back to their cubicle, but they couldn't watch the play anymore. They just wanted to see each other next time. They must teach Ye Xiaoxian a lesson and make a fool of herself in public.

……

Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan listened to the play and went to the shops outside.

In other people's eyes, they are romantic, but in Ye Xiaoxian's eyes, these are business opportunities.

She had been thinking that if she opened a snack shop or restaurant in the capital, she might earn more than ever before. She doesn't worry about having no capital. These days, she has been rewarded by the palace and some dignitaries in the hunting ground, which is enough for her to open the second largest restaurant in the capital.

However, the official family can't do business outside. If they want to do it, they can only find someone to partner with. They can't hang her name. She can't find such a person for the time being.

Let's just relax for a while. Besides, she doesn't know how long she can live. It's better to enjoy life while she has some money in her hand.

……

"You sent wanshijie to the north?"

In the palace, the Empress Dowager talked lazily with the national teacher.

It was getting colder and snowed the day before yesterday. The Queen Mother's house was lit with incense and charcoal. No matter who was in the house, he would be lazy.

The national teacher looked at the Empress Dowager and was really unhappy.

He said, "yes, don't you protect Mrs. Xiao? Xiao Baoshan won't go again, so I have to send wanshijie."

"I'm not protecting Mrs. Xiao. Why should I protect her? I protect the royal face." The Empress Dowager retorted and said, "can wanshijie complete the task?"

Xiao Baoshan said, "if he is more alert, he can certainly finish it."

"Well, that's the best." The Empress Dowager said, and then drank a mouthful of freshly boiled herbal tea.

The national teacher asked, "it's so cold recently. Why do you still drink these? You're not afraid of stomach trouble."

"This is what the imperial doctor told us. We are different from the people outside. The house is warm and we eat tonic in winter. We need herbal tea to neutralize it."

When the national teacher saw that the Empress Dowager looked lazy no matter what he said or did, he was even more upset.
