Ninghai received Yuxi's personal letter, and was nervous.

In recent years, Yuxi has shifted his focus to the establishment of women's schools, and seldom interfered in the affairs of the government. Therefore, few people have received her own letter now.

To stabilize God, Ninghai opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Yuxi tells him that Yunqing will abdicate next year, and then asks him what he plans to do.

Several years before Ninghai arrived in Tongcheng, he often led troops to kill the enemy. In recent years, he didn't go to the battlefield in person, but he strengthened the walls of Tongcheng and won a lot of benefits for the soldiers. The contribution to Tongcheng is obvious to all. So Yuxi hopes that he can take the initiative to withdraw, rather than be forced to withdraw.

He saw the end of the letter again. Seeing that Yuxi didn't mention the recurrence of his old wound in the letter, Ninghai understood Yuxi's meaning.

After thinking for a long time, Ninghai asked two military doctors to pulse him, and then left the two pulse cases.

Ten days later, Yuxi received a reply from Ninghai. In the letter, Ninghai said that he was healthy and could serve the court for several years. In addition, there are two pulse cases attached to the letter.

Yuxi hands the letter to Yunqing and asks, "Ho Rui, what do you think?" Obviously, Ninghai is reluctant to return.

Yunqing smiled and said: "my uncle's reaction is in my expectation. After a lifetime in the army, no one is willing to leave until the last resort. The army is too seriously injured. Otherwise, he will not stay in the capital. " He had been in the army for so many years, and would not have left if he had not been no longer in the army for identity reasons.

"What do you mean?"

Yunqing sighed and said, "some years ago, my uncle was frightened because he had done things for us. Now there is no big battle in Tongcheng. If my uncle wants to work for the court for another two years, I will go along with him! "

Yuxi nodded, and then told Qihao, "your uncle has done a lot for the court these years. Since he has no problem with his health, it would be inhuman to force him to withdraw. "

Qi Hao said: "Niang, there is no war in Tongcheng now. It's natural for him to sit in Tongcheng. But if there is a war, what shall we do then? "

Yuxi smiled: "your uncle is not too sick to get up to bed. He just causes old injuries when the weather changes. Even if there is a war, he doesn't have to go to the battlefield to command only in the rear. Moreover, your uncle is not the one who has no sense. If his body can't support him, he will take the initiative to withdraw. And don't forget, besides your uncle, there are two deputies! "

Qi Hao nodded: "Niang, I know you are afraid to force my uncle to leave. Other veteran generals will worry that we will do the same to them in the future."

"They fought with your father in this world. Sometimes we have to take their ideas into account. " No matter how powerful Yunqing is, he can't stand alone. Without the following of so many generals, they can't get the world. Because of this, the husband and wife are particularly preferential to the founding of the country.

Qi Hao said, "don't worry, ma'am. I will treat them well in the future."

Qi Hao only said that he would be kind to these founding heroes, not to their grandchildren. It can be seen that in the child's heart, some of these founding meritorious deeds still have a bad heart. However, Yuxi didn't want to take care of so much. Just make sure that those who follow them can live for the rest of their lives. She doesn't care about their grandchildren. It's her own grandchildren. She doesn't want to care.

Yuxi smiled and said, "your father is worried that jujube is too young to bear the burden, just let her experience in Guizhou for two years."

Qi Hao said, "I didn't tell elder sister about it." It's not easy to say in advance when things are not settled. Fortunately, I didn't say that, or else I would be free to have a good time.

After two days, Qiyou and ningzhan said, "my uncle would not back down. He sent two pulse cases to my parents, both of which showed that my uncle was very healthy and had no major problems. Ah Zhan, my uncle said that he would like to serve the court for several more years. "

Ning Zhan is disappointed.

Qiyou said with a smile, "I know you are filial. But my uncle is reluctant to leave the barracks. He has no major health problems now. When you force him to leave, it's not good for him to be unhappy. "

"When he has a big problem, it's too late," said Ning Zhan with a bitter face

"For the first time, I saw my son force me to resign. Fortunately, my uncle loves you and knows that you are filial. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you. " Seeing that ningzhan was depressed, Qiyou said with a smile, "you have done your best. Let it be as it is!"

Ning Zhan sighed: "I thought they would come back in this period of time. I didn't expect to have a good time. " What else can we do if we don't let it go. If dad doesn't cooperate, he's out of luck!

Qihao said jokingly, "even if my uncle wants to be an official, he has to make a compromise. Then the imperial court decides to replace him and hand over the candidates. After all, it will take half a year. "

"You don't understand."

Seeing this, Qi Hao said, "I understand. In fact, you are sorry to spend too little time with your uncle. Now that he is old, he wants to retire. First, my uncle can recuperate his body. Second, your father and son have more time to get along. " Growing up together, Ning Zhan doesn't know what he thinks.

Can't see the appearance of Zhan Yan, Qi Hao said: "you've been waiting for twenty years, are you still waiting for two or three more years?"

Ningzhan is not a milk baby, he is worried about Ninghai's body. Other people don't know, her mother doesn't know. But Ninghai didn't want to be an official. In addition, the military doctor said that he was not seriously ill. What could he do.

Although Ninghai said he could play for the court for a few more years, his son dragged him behind. He knew that he would not stay in this position for long. If not, the new emperor can't bear it. So, some things have to be arranged.

On the Mid Autumn Festival, Ninghai asked Chunni and his wife and tie Honglin's family to have lunch in the general's mansion.

After dinner, Ninghai asked tiehonglin to follow him to his study and asked, "what are your plans for the future?"

Tiehonglin looks up at Ninghai, and doesn't understand what Ninghai means.

Ninghai said: "in the military, there are six kinds of documents. I'm going to find my former friends and see if I can transfer you to a place. I just don't know. What do you mean by yourself? "

Tiehonglin's eyes brightened in an instant, but soon he asked: "uncle, will you owe a lot of affection?"

Ninghai said with a voice, "I'm sure you owe me the favor, but you don't have to worry about it. Honglin, you are in the seventh grade in the army now, but if you transfer to another place, you must be demoted. At most, it's a county magistrate. "

"Uncle, I want to go to a place," tiehonglin said As Ninghai said, to die in the army is only six grades. And transfer to the local office, the rise of space, welfare treatment is better.

Of course, all the benefits offered by the court are superficial. Like the master book of Hongbo, you can get more than 100 liang of silver all year round. But because he is the master book, Fu's business can go smoothly. And the income of the shop is the largest income of the family.

In fact, Ninghai expected this result as early as possible: "it's estimated that it will take a year and a half to complete. Don't talk to other people, including your parents, for the time being."

Tiehonglin knew it was wrong, and asked anxiously, "uncle, what's the matter?"

Ninghai said with a smile, "nothing. It's just that I'm old, and my energy is not as good as before. So I want to arrange you first, so I don't have to worry about you any more when I'm retired. "

When you are old, your energy must not be as good as when you are young. So tiehonglin didn't think much about it, just said: "uncle, you must take good care of yourself." Ninghai, but their brother's biggest backer. As for Ning Zhan, although they are cousins, they have no blood relationship or contact with each other. They can't be relied on in the future.

"I will. You should also pay attention to your body. If you are too young to pay attention to your body, you will have to regret when you are old. " In fact, Ninghai is old, so it pays great attention to the maintenance of the body. But before he joined the army, he went hunting in the snow. After joining the army, the conditions in the army were too poor. When it snowed, he took people to hunt in the mountains to improve food. Over the years, the root of the disease will fall. But he didn't regret it, but it was too painful when it hurt.

In the middle of September, Chunni went to the general's mansion to find Ninghai and said, "kuizi, Hongbo wrote to me that my father is ill. I have to go back with Dongzi." The letter said that iron tiger was just a minor illness, that is, she missed Chunni very much, so I hope she can go back to ITO. But Chunni thought that if it wasn't for Iron Tiger's serious illness, Hongbo wouldn't write to them about it.

Ninghai also wants to go back. As a general of the border city, he is not allowed to leave Tongcheng without permission. So, he can only let Fang Hui and Chunni go back.

Mahalanobis is very dissatisfied, good things do not think of her husband, this kind of hard work will know to send her husband to do it. But now she's also learning to be smart, knowing that her husband doesn't like her talking about it. In private, I'll talk to her daughter.

To Fang Hui pack clothes, Ma asked: "husband, before the new year should be able to come back?"

Fang Hui said: "if there is no big problem with the old man, it will be enough to go back and forth for half a month.". If you can't get sick, you'll have to wait longer. But I hope it's a false alarm. " Although not a grandfather, Iron Tiger used to love him. For him, it's always been good.

Before setting out, Ninghai called Fang Hui to go over: "if your grandfather's illness is very serious, the doctor will send him to the capital." There is a doctor in the capital who can cure his father.

Fang Hui was stupefied and turned to a wry smile and said, "Dad, grandfather is old and ill. How can he stand the long-distance bumps?" If I send them to the capital for treatment, I'm afraid there will be no one on the way.

Ninghai was also anxious to forget this: "I wrote to Zhan, asking him to ask a doctor to see your grandfather."

Fang Hui didn't speak this time. If it wasn't for his father who couldn't leave Tongcheng, he would have rushed to Anshan overnight to see his grandfather.
