Jin Yi Kill

In the evening, the wind was quiet and the weather was cool, Wang Yanqing sat under the eaves and tested Lu Xuan's endorsement.

Lu Xuan recited fairly smoothly in front, but his eyes kept drifting out from behind, and he stuttered in reciting a poem. But after all the memorization was over, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, I'm finished. I'm going out to play!"

"Come back." Lu Xuan was about to run out, but was stopped by Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing's face was calm and her voice was gentle and gentle, but her tone was full of indifference: "Remember the second half before going out."

Lu Xuan clasped his fingers, reluctantly: "Mother, I've memorized the book for a day. I'll memorize it tomorrow."

"No, I'm here to watch your back." Wang Yanqing threatened to see that he was still not moving, "If you wait any longer, your father will be back soon. Will you let him check?"

Lu Xuan was discouraged. His mother would never murder him. Even if he recited wrongly, he would just correct him and let him recite it again. If it were my father, it would be different.

Wang Yanqing called Lu Xuan to his side, accompanied him to read the second half word by word, explained the meaning to him, and then asked him to memorize it again. Like Lu Heng, Lu Xuan is born with a good memory, but no matter how good his talent is, he needs constant practice.

In fact, Lu Xuan didn't know how to remember, but relying on his good brain, he liked to play during the day, and he didn't work hard. At night, he remembered it all to deal with Wang Yanqing's inspection. Wang Yanqing helped him straighten out the second half. After he understood the meaning, it would be more effective if he recited it.

Lu Xuan leaned against his mother's warm and soft body, listening to her softly explain the meaning of the poem, and slowly immersed in it. He was fascinated by what he heard when he suddenly heard greetings from outside. Immediately, a big red figure crossed the courtyard gate and strode towards the main room.

Lu Xuan was suddenly nervous and grabbed the hem of Wang Yanqing's clothes. Dad came back early today, if Dad finds out that he hasn't finished his homework...

Wang Yanqing nodded his head, and said calmly, "I know I'm afraid, but I'm still having fun during the day? Would you dare to do it next time?"

Lu Xuan quickly shook his head. At this time, Lu Heng pushed the door open and came in. He saw Lu Xuan kneeling on the couch with a book in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xuan was so frightened that his body was tense. Wang Yanqing closed the book calmly and said, "It's okay, I just finished checking his homework. Xun'er, go pack your things."

Lu Xuan was relieved, and quickly jumped off the Arhat bed, picked up his book, and after hurriedly asked Lu Heng, he didn't even dare to lift his head, and rushed out with his head buried. Lu Heng looked at the boy's rabbit-like figure and sneered: "I went out to play again during the day, and I'm dealing with my homework again, right?"

Wang Yanqing cleaned up the ink on the table and said, "He is only four years old, and it is his nature to love to play. When I was four years old, I didn't even know the words."

Lu Heng took off the embroidered spring knife, sat next to Wang Yanqing, and said, "That's different. You are so sensible, you are not like him, thinking about how to fool the family every day."

Wang Yanqing still spoke for his son in a warm voice: "Actually, a normal child doesn't need to endorse so early. He has to go to the palace as a companion, so he will be taught in advance. These things are too boring for a child, even you are six years old. I just went to the palace as a companion reading."

In fact, Lu Heng knew that the current progress was a bit too difficult for Lu Xuan. The third prince is three years older than Lu Xun, and he is much stronger than Lu Xun in both comprehension and concentration. If Lu Xuan wanted to keep up with the third prince, he had to learn in advance. Otherwise, when he entered the palace, he would not be able to keep up with the master, and his confidence would be shattered. Maybe he would not like to study in the future.

However, Lu Heng understood it, Wang Yanqing kept talking for Lu Xuan, and he was still very interested. Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and pressed Wang Yanqing with his hand: "When I was six years old, no one explained to me every day and read with me. You spent more time on him than when you were facing me."

Lu Heng was used to hugging her waist, but Wang Yanqing was uncharacteristically tense today, and pushed his hand away with a sullen face: "Don't move."

Lu Heng's hand was blocked, and looked at Wang Yanqing unexpectedly: "What's wrong?"

Uncertain things, Wang Yanqing didn't want to say, but his eyes were too aggressive, Wang Yanqing finally couldn't resist, and whispered: "I may have it again."

When Lu Heng heard it, his eyes suddenly changed. Wang Yanqing quickly explained: "But I haven't asked the boss to read it, I just guessed it myself. Maybe I guessed wrong."

"You're doing it right, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing." Lu Heng immediately became serious. Wang Yanqing felt it himself, and it was estimated that it was inseparable, and Lu Heng's eyes suddenly became cautious when he looked at her. He gently wrapped around Wang Yanqing's waist, put his palm in front of her belly, and felt the movement inside: "Do you think this is a son or a daughter?"

Wang Yanqing leaned on Lu Heng's shoulder, and looked at her lower abdomen expectantly: "It's all fate, whatever comes is good."

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded, but still said, "But it would be better if it was a daughter."

Wang Yanqing chuckled: "What if it's a son?"

"Then I will try my best next time to get you pregnant with a daughter."

Wang Yanqing hurriedly slapped Lu Heng and said angrily, "In front of the child, what nonsense are you talking about."

Lu Heng didn't take it seriously: "Whether male or female, sooner or later, we must understand these things. As parents, it would be better to show him earlier."

"And say, shut up."

Wang Yanqing had given birth to a child, and she had a vague feeling when she was pregnant again, but before the month came, she didn't want to make everyone happy, so she refrained from saying it. If it wasn't for the fear that Lu Heng's hand would not be light or heavy, she wouldn't even tell Lu Heng.

After listening to Lu Heng, although he said that he was willing, he immediately invited Lang Zhong for her the next day. Now that the emperor doesn't go to court, Lu Heng knows both from a first-rank governor, and there are very few people in the court with a higher official position than him. No one dares to speak of him if he doesn't go to the government. Therefore, Lu Heng left the class openly and honestly, and stayed in the mansion to accompany Wang Yanqing.

Lang Zhong came, and after bowing to Lu Heng, he stepped forward to diagnose Wang Yanqing's pulse.

When they were pregnant with Lu Xuan, the two of them were like enemies, and Lang Zhong was too frightened to speak. This time Lu Heng still paid attention, but he was not as nervous as last time. Without Lu Heng's interference, Lang Zhong quickly finished the diagnosis, got up and said, "Congratulations to the Governor, congratulations to Madam, Madam, this is a slippery pulse."

Wang Yanqing's guess came true, and a smile soon appeared on his face. Lu Heng asked Lang Zhong to go down to receive the reward, and by the way he prescribed some tonics. Wang Yanqing heard and stopped: "It's a three-point poison. I don't feel any discomfort now. There's no need to prescribe a tonic, it's a waste."

But Lu Heng said, "It's best if you don't need it, but you should prepare a little for peace of mind."

Lu Heng insisted on not saving the money for the medicine, Wang Yanqing's persuasion was fruitless, and he had to go with him. Lingxi Lingluan took Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine, and Lu Heng accompanied Wang Yanqing and spoke to her in a low voice. While the two were cuddling, Lu Xuan ran in, put his hands on the edge of the couch, and asked mysteriously, "Father, Mother, I just heard from Mother, Mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for me?"

"It's my sister." Lu Heng corrected him immediately, "It's none of your business, go back and recite your book."

Lu Xuan refused, lying on the couch and acting like a spoiled child: "My sister just came, she must know nothing. As a brother, I should talk to my sister more."

Seeing that Lu Heng was ignoring him, Lu Xun ran to the other side, holding Wang Yanqing's hand coquettishly: "Mother..."

Wang Yanqing was finally overwhelmed and said, "Then I'll give you a day off. It's just this one time, it won't be an example next time."

Lu Xun immediately cheered. His voice was too happy. Seeing Lu Heng looking in his direction, Lu Xuan immediately covered his mouth and walked out on tiptoe.

After a while, Lu Xuan ran back with a bunch of things and said loudly, "Mother, I'll teach my sister to read."

Lu Heng was holding Wang Yanqing's hand and talking, when he saw Lu Xuan, he smiled softly: "On your level, do you still want to teach others?"

With Wang Yanqing around, Lu Xuan was much more courageous, and was not afraid of Lu Heng at all. He took off his shoes and got on the couch from the other side, sat beside Wang Yanqing and asked, "Mother, what do you think my sister should learn first?"

The family was talking happily when a guard suddenly ran over and stopped at the door of the main room to clasp his fists: "The Governor."

His voice was hurried and low, as if suppressing something. Lu Heng glanced outside the door, and said to his wife and son with a face as usual, "You sit down first, I'll go to the Governor's Mansion to order and come back soon."

Wang Yanqing also heard the voice of the guard. She looked worried, but nodded calmly and said, "Okay, you can go in peace."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, he quickly got up and left. Although Lu Xuan is young, he is not sure if he is like Wang Yanqing and is also very sensitive to emotions. He snuggled up to Wang Yanqing's side, and asked with some fear, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"It's all right." Wang Yanqing stroked the top of his son's head with a gentle and firm tone, "It should be some official business, don't worry, your father will handle it."

Lu Heng said that he would be back soon, but he was nowhere to be seen until nightfall. Lu Xuan insisted on waiting for Lu Heng, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep leaning on Wang Yanqing's lap.

Wang Yanqing gently patted his son's back, and when he fell asleep, he carefully placed him on the couch.

Wang Yanqing was pulling the quilt for Lu Xuan when suddenly there was a sound of walking outside. Wang Yanqing realized that Lu Heng was back, and gestured to the nurse to look at Lu Xuan with his eyes, and walked quickly to the door.

Lu Heng entered the door, just in time to bump into Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing hurriedly booed him and stepped forward to help him take off his cloak: "What's wrong?"

In Wang Yanqing's impression, the last time I saw Lu Heng look so serious was when the Renyin Palace changed. Lu Heng let out a long sigh and pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "The Altan tribe requested to open the horse market, but the court refused. Altan then attacked the border gate. Today, the Gubeikou has been breached and the Great Wall has been crossed."

Wang Yanqing took a deep breath and crossed Gubeikou, wouldn't it mean that the troops would soon be under the city of Beijing?

No wonder the guards were so flustered when they came to him today, no wonder Lu Heng was so busy that he didn't come back until now. Afraid of waking Lu Xuan, Wang Yanqing lowered his voice and asked, "What did the emperor say?"

"Today, the palace has been discussing this matter. There are guards and walls in the capital, and it is not a problem to resist the Mongolian cavalry. But food is a big problem."

"what?"

"This year's new grain has not yet been received, and the granary in the capital is empty. We can only rely on the surrounding area to supply grain. The nearest granary is in Tongzhou. If the capital is besieged, with the current stock of grain, we can only eat the whole capital for ten days."

Wang Yanqing's eyes widened, she thought it was the worst thing for the Mongolian cavalry to approach the capital, but she didn't expect that reality would always be more outrageous than imagined. Lu Heng sighed. In front of Wang Yanqing, he didn't play the officialdom and said truthfully: "Ten days is an optimistic estimate. In my opinion, once the news of the war comes out, the aristocratic family will compete with the people for food. Ordinary people can last up to five days."

Wang Yanqing was speechless. There are several large granaries around the capital, and no one thought that the capital would be besieged, so they didn't care about the grain storage in the city. As a result, when the Mongol cavalry arrived, everyone was caught off guard.

Wang Yanqing frowned and said, "There are 100,000 troops stationed in the capital. No matter how many people come from the Altan tribe, it can't be more than 100,000. Wouldn't it be enough to drive them away?"

"That's another question." Lu Heng's mouth curled into a smile, but his eyes were cold and full of irony, "The three camps claim to be 100,000 people, but in fact they are full of old, weak, sick and disabled households who are in the name of empty pay. , the actual number may not even be half. Everyone in the six knows about this, so no one is willing to play."

Barracks rosters can be faked, but head counts can't be faked. Once you go out to battle, things like empty pay and desertion can't be covered up. At that time, whoever is the coach will be the scapegoat.

It is ironic that there are soldiers but no handsome. Wang Yanqing was speechless and asked, "What should we do then?"

Lu Heng snorted and said sarcastically: "Tonight the Ministry of Household urgently went to Tongzhou to transport food, how much can be returned. At the same time, the Ministry of War issued an emergency order to the surrounding area, I hope someone will arrive soon with King Qin's army."

Because no one is willing to fight, the capital can only defend the city. The emperor ordered the gates to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city, so as not to be put into the Mongolian interior. Fortunately, the Ministry of Household transferred the food back in time, enough to feed the whole city for a month. The emperor was slightly relieved, but still annoyed.

The emperor grew up so big, and he never worried about eating. Now it is not a question of whether he chooses to eat Jiangnan rice or Hetao noodles, but is worried about whether there will be next month when he eats Tongzhou beans.

Because the Mongols descended from the sky, the whole city followed the downgrade of food, and even the court and the official family were forced to eat coarse grains. Lu Xuan looked at the vegetables in the bowl that had suddenly decreased, and asked, "Mother, why don't you eat green vegetables these days."

In normal times, high-ranking officials and nobles have a lot of fish and meat, but when it comes to wartime, vegetables are the most extravagant thing. Wang Yanqing comforted his son in a low voice: "The common people are having a hard time these days. Many people can't buy food, so we should eat less."

After the news of the siege came out, everyone panicked, and every household was stockpiling grain. Although the Ministry of Household brought back a month's worth of food for the entire city, the common people would definitely not be able to rob the officials and the big family. Most of the food was intercepted by high-profile households, and some merchants took advantage of them and hoarded goods to drive up prices.

Although the Lu Mansion has food reserves, Wang Yanqing still asks people to save the expenses of the whole government and distribute rice and noodles to the people, which can help a little bit.

"Why?" Lu Xun asked, "There are many Zhuangzi outside the city. If you can't buy them in the city, you can buy them outside."

Wang Yanqing said, "But there are Mongolians outside."

"There are so many of us, can't we just drive them away?"

Wang Yanqing didn't know how to explain it to his son, so he touched his head and sighed, "Yeah, you know the truth, why don't adults understand it?"

The emperor felt that sooner or later he would be **** off by these officials. The dignified capital of the Ming Empire was forced to stay behind closed doors by thousands of Mongolian cavalry. The emperor asked several times, but no one was willing to fight.

The Mongolians are not stupid either. Altan Khan never thought that he would actually hit the interior of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't have the ambition to conquer the city, and he knew that he couldn't defeat it, so he didn't go to attack Beijing, but grabbed food on the outskirts of Beijing.

The Mongols roamed outside the capital on horseback, galloping openly, as if entering no man's land. The emperor was so dizzy with anger, but fortunately, Daming was not all a tortoise.

The first to arrive was the Datong defender, the coach Fu Tingzhou.

Fu Tingzhou finally understood what Lu Heng's experience of rescuing the driver was. Fortunately, he has not been wasted on the front line these years. Among the many reinforcements, he was the first to arrive in the capital.

The emperor's mood when he saw Fu Tingzhou was exactly the same as when the Renyin Palace changed when he opened his eyes and saw Lu Heng. The emperor immediately promoted Fu Tingzhou as a general and controlled the troops and horses of various roads. Fu Tingzhou's power expanded dramatically, and all resources inside and outside the capital were dispatched by him, making him a military marshal.

Lu Heng has always been a standout in the officialdom, far behind his peers, but now, Fu Tingzhou has risen rapidly, and his military status is close to Lu Heng.

At the entrance of the palace, Fu Tingzhou and Lu Heng met face to face, Lu Heng left the palace, and Fu Tingzhou entered the palace. Fu Tingzhou only felt that this scene was very familiar at this time. It seemed that they met like this when they went to court in a certain year.

It's just that at that time Lu Heng was a famous celebrity in the imperial court, and Fu Tingzhou was just a nobody who had just entered the officialdom.

But now, everything has turned upside down.

Fu Tingzhou stopped, but Lu Heng walked past him as if he didn't see Fu Tingzhou. Fu Tingzhou smiled, and when they passed by, he suddenly said, "Long time no see, Governor Lu, why didn't you even say hello when you saw me?"

"General Fu thought too much. You entered the palace by edict. The Governor was afraid that the time for the emperor's questioning would be delayed, so he left the palace. However, General Fu was leisurely, and the emperor was still waiting, but you took the initiative to stop and talk to others. Fu General, it's not good to keep the emperor waiting for a long time."

"Thank you for the reminder from Governor Lu." Fu Tingzhou said, "I don't know what is the urgent matter of Governor Lu, so I didn't even have time to say hello?"

Lu Heng turned back and smiled at Fu Tingzhou. Fu Tingzhou saw his smiling eyes and realized that he was in the game. However, it was too late. Before he could refuse, he heard Lu Heng say, "Indeed, Madam is pregnant, and I am in a hurry to go out to accompany Madam."

Fu Tingzhou was stunned, and instantly became angry. Lu Heng, this bastard, was waiting for him here.

After he was angry, he felt a daze in his heart. Is she pregnant with her second child?

Time went so fast.

Fu Tingzhou had an indescribable jealousy in his heart and said, "I thought that although Governor Lu was unscrupulous and acted in a sinister way, he still has the responsibility of a man. Also like those people, can't retreat?"

It's okay to stimulate Leng Touqing with such words, but to Lu Heng, it's not very lethal. Lu Heng said calmly: "I am the emperor's army, and the only task is to protect the emperor. It is your business to protect the family and the country. Besides, the capital was trapped for five days. Live in peace, without being frightened at all. Wei Guo dare not say it, but I should have done it to protect my family."

Fu Tingzhou had an indescribable desire to compare when he stopped. All along, Lu Heng had a higher official position and a smoother career than him. Even she left with Lu Heng. Fu Tingzhou's heart has been under pressure for many years, but now, he finally seized the opportunity and also made a rescue, and has the capital to surpass Lu Heng. He took the initiative to provoke Lu Heng just to avenge what Lu Heng said many years ago.

Even if there is no memory loss, Wang Yanqing will choose Lu Heng when he meets them at the same time.

What man can accept such humiliation? But in the end, it was Fu Tingzhou who got angry.

His success came too late. If it had been ten years earlier, he would have recklessly married Wang Yanqing, and would never marry other princes for the help of the court. Even if it was five years earlier, he would have a chance to take her back.

rather than now. She already had a son and was pregnant with another man's second flesh.

Lu Heng left Fu Tingzhou angrily. He looked at ease and calm, but he was actually very angry.

This ubiquitous fly has been thinking about Qingqing for so many years. As for Fu Tingzhou's words that he couldn't be in retreat, Lu Heng didn't care.

What position does he do, he is a Jin Yiwei, and he is not a defender of the capital. What does he do with this hero? To put it more poorly, his task is to **** the emperor to escape when the city is in danger of breaking the country.

Instead of going outside and charging into battle when you know that the capital is not in danger. As far as the mess of the three major battalions is concerned, Lu Heng would not do such a thing.

In contrast, protecting your family members is the real and practical thing.

The Mongolian cavalry was driven away after only nine days of entry. Except for the robbing of farms outside the city, there was no loss in the capital. But the emperor still regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, and said to the cabinet: "The minister of the foreign territory, dare to take a letter in front of me to sit and watch the city, can you? If you don't punish it, why should you be punished!"

The emperor issued an edict, ordering the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to gather troops and supplies to prepare for the expedition, and named Fu Tingzhou as the general of Pinglu, and ordered him to lead troops to conquer the Alta tribe. He must be like the ancestors of Hongwu and Yongle. Can.

Fu Tingzhou took a mighty expedition team to go to Mongolia with great momentum. On the day of the expedition, the streets of the capital were surrounded by water, and the people of the city rushed to see General Pinglu. Fu Tingzhou rode on the horse, his eyes swept across the dark crowd, thinking, would she be among these people?

He thought again, how good it would be if she was his wife at this moment and watched him go out in the public eye.

Fu Tingzhou looked at it for a long time, but never found the figure he was looking for. He sighed inwardly, turned around and told the lieutenant: "Let's go."

General Pinglu's conquest of Mongolia is empty, but in such a dangerous situation, the wife of the governor of Jinyiwei will definitely not appear. Wang Yanqing sat at home with his son and urged Lu Xun to study. But today, he was twisting left and right, still unable to calm down.

Finally, Lu Xuan couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned over and said to Wang Yanqing, "Mother, General Pinglu led the army today, and many people went out to see it! I want to go out too."

"What does marching and fighting have to do with you?" Wang Yanqing said coldly, unmoved, "Recite your book."

Lu Xuan pouted and sat back in his seat, muttering: "I heard that General Pinglu rushed all the way from the border to the capital, and now he is leading a 100,000-strong army to go to Mongolia, how majestic! Unlike father, Mongolians are fighting When he was outside the Anding Gate, he also let people shut the door."

Lu Xuan complained casually. This was what he heard from others. In fact, he didn't even know where Andingmen was. However, after he finished speaking, his mother, who had always been gentle and kind, suddenly turned cold, slapped the table heavily and said, "Lu Xuan."

Lu Xuan was taken aback and stood up instinctively: "Mother."

Lingxi Lingluan was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Yanqing: "Madam, don't be angry, be careful of fetal gas."

With a cold face, Wang Yanqing stared at his son with an unprecedented stern gaze, and reprimanded: "You only saw the Datong army attacking from a thousand miles, so do you know that when the Altan army approached Tongzhou, it was your father who sent a letter to urgently send troops to prepare for battle, The Ministry of Household allocated food and salaries. If it weren't for him, the whole city would not have enough time to deliver the food for a month. When the Altan army rushed to the lower part of the capital, I don't know how many gangsters in the city were plotting to cause chaos. You only see General Pinglu leading an army of 100,000 troops. Then you know that when the Mongols first came, tens of thousands of refugees gathered outside the city walls of Beijing. He persuaded the emperor to let them escape. When the people enter the city, this will prevent tens of thousands of people from being slaughtered. There is only one general Pinglu, but now you can sit here and study in peace, but you are protected by thousands of unknown people like your father. "

Lu Xuan bowed his head as he was told, kept sniffling, and said with a weeping voice, "Mother, I was wrong."

"My godson has no way to make you think like this." Wang Yanqing said solemnly, "Lingxi, bring a ruler."

Lingxi glanced at Lu Xuan and persuaded in a low voice, "Madam..."

They are not begging for the young master. Although the child has fine skin and tender flesh, he must be beaten when he should. If he does not beat him now, he will be beaten by others in the future. What they were afraid of was that Wang Yanqing was angry and hurt the fetus in the womb.

Wang Yanqing's face was still frosty, and she said coldly, "Go get the ruler."

Lingxi Lingluan stopped talking, and silently went to get the ruler. Wang Yanqing held the ruler, one hand supported her already pregnant belly, and the other held the ruler, hitting Lu Xun hard.

Lu Xuan has been well protected by his family since he was a child. He has grown so big that his palms haven't even scratched the skin. But now, as soon as he stepped down, Lu Xuan's palm was swollen, but Wang Yanqing didn't even look at it, and continued to fight hard.

"My family taught you to read and read, to practice martial arts, not to make you a hero, but to make you a person worthy of the people of the world. No matter where you go, you must be kind and down-to-earth."

Lu Xuan was already crying and twitching, wanting to hide but not daring to hide, sobbing: "Mother, I was wrong."

Wang Yanqing hit him three times, and only under the persuasion of the maids, reluctantly put down the ruler. Wang Yanqing frowned and supported his stomach. Seeing this, the maids hurriedly helped Wang Yanqing to sit down. Afterwards, they went to find the boss and called someone, and they were very busy. In the chaos, Lingluan came over to hold Lu Xuan's hand and said, "Master, Madam can't teach Chinese characters today, you should go back first."

"But my mother..."

"Madam is fine." Lingluan said, "Young master, don't be afraid, go back and get the medicine first, Madam has us here."

Lu Xuan was taken down by the nanny, applied the medicine, and was unhappy all day. His mother had never murdered him. Lu Xuan made his mother angry today, and almost hurt his sister in her stomach. He felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to go to Wang Yanqing.

Mother definitely doesn't want to see him now.

The nanny felt distressed when she saw the redness and swelling on Lu Xun's hand, but Lu Xun was annoyed and said that she was going to sleep and drove them all out. After waiting for no one in the room, he covered himself in the quilt and wept bitterly.

He didn't know how long he had been crying, but suddenly he felt someone pulling his quilt. Lu Xuan was startled. He didn't want to be seen by the nurse or the servants, so he held on to the quilt and said, "I'm sleeping, you all go out!"

However, his resistance was useless, the opponent's strength was great, and he easily took the quilt from his hand. Lu Xuan turned around angrily, but unexpectedly saw his father.

Lu Heng sat beside the bed and looked at him with a half-smiling smile: "At least I know how to be ashamed, and I know how to cry under the quilt."

Lu Xuan thought it was a servant, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Heng. He bowed his head shyly. His father had always been strict with him. He spoke ill of his father today and caused his mother to have a stomachache. His father would definitely punish him heavily.

However, the expected scolding did not come. Lu Heng put the quilt aside and said, "Where's your hand, stretch it out for me to see."

Lu Xun dawdled and stretched out his hand reluctantly. Lu Heng looked down, suddenly grabbed his red and swollen spot, and pressed it hard. Lu Xuan screamed in pain, but Lu Heng was unmoved. He still checked his entire hand, so he said calmly, "Did you make your mother angry today?"

Lu Xuan lowered his head and did not speak. Lu Heng laughed lightly and said, "It deserves it. It didn't hurt the bones, just some flesh wounds. It will be fine after two days."

Lu Xuan thought that his father would mention Bai Ri's nonsense, but Lu Heng didn't seem to know. After examining his wound, he stood up, patted his head and said, "Go and apologize to your mother tomorrow, don't let her Worry."

After speaking, Lu Heng turned around and wanted to leave. Lu Xuan suddenly stopped him from behind, bit his lip and said, "Father, during the day I..."

"I don't need to explain, I'm not going to be serious with you yet." Lu Heng said, "But I hope that one day, you will be able to draw conclusions based on your own thoughts instead of listening to others. I hope that day will not be far away."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, he left, leaving Lu Xun alone to sit on the bed for a long time.

When Lu Heng returned to the main room, Wang Yanqing had lost her hair and lay on the bed to raise her baby. She heard Lu Heng come back and asked, "How is he?"

"It's alright, he was crying under the quilt when I went." Lu Heng sat on the bed with a smile and pulled the quilt for her, "It's you, Lang Zhong said that you had fetal gas today, and think about it later. Teach the child a lesson, just let the maid do it, don't do it yourself."

Wang Yanqing shook his head: "I don't do it, he can't remember it."

She said this, but Lu Heng knew that she was afraid that others would do something insignificant and hurt Lu Xun's foundation. Lu Heng did not reveal it, and said, "Okay, the child will teach slowly, don't worry, go to sleep first."

How could Wang Yanqing sleep? She asked: "Today he led a large army on an expedition. I heard that the emperor trusted him very much. He gave him a private seal and allowed him to use a secret letter to directly address the emperor. If things go on like this, will he threaten you? "

This is probably the happiest thing Lu Heng has heard today. Lu Heng asked, "Who is he?"

Wang Yanqing was impatient: "Who else could it be, of course, Fu Tingzhou."

Lu Heng carefully avoided her stomach and embraced his wife: "I'm very happy that you can worry about me. However, if he wants to threaten me, he must at least defeat the Mongols first."

Wang Yanqing frowned, "Could it be that there is something tricky about this battle?"

"There's nothing tricky." Lu Heng said, "but everyone wants to make a contribution, just like the war between Japanese pirates, everyone has a ghost, and it will fail in the end. I won't clean up the situation for him this time, I hope he can take care of those old foxes. ."

Lu Heng's words were right. When Fu Tingzhou first led the army on an expedition, he thought it was a war, but later he found out that it was a political struggle.

There are Xia Dang and Yan Dang among the civilian officers of the military governor, and the middle-level generals also have their own abacus. In the past few days, what they did most was not to discuss how to beat the Mongols, but to quarrel over who to listen to.

The Mongols were good at cavalry and archery, and they lost their fighters after a little hesitation.

After several missed opportunities, Fu Tingzhou could no longer bear this group of literati who would only be a hindrance, and used military law to punish the civilians. However, what the civil servants in Daming were not afraid of was fighting.

In the end, Fu Tingzhou became a tool for the struggle between Xia and Yan. He first fought against Xia Wenjin's protégé. When Yan Wei's people saw that Fu Tingzhou was on their side, they jumped higher and higher. Fu Tingzhou couldn't bear it any longer, so he punished a Yan Wei's person to kill a chicken and an example, and also secretly drew a clear line with Yan Wei.

He borrowed Yan Wei's strength when he became the Datong general soldier, but he has since repaid the favor. If Yan Wei wanted to use this to blackmail him for the rest of his life, to seek personal gain and break military regulations in his army, he would not agree.

However, Fu Tingzhou and Yan Weihuapao did not receive the respect of the literati, but Xia and Yan impeached him together. The emperor's desk in the capital is full of memorials for his impeachment against Fu Tingzhou. Xia Wenjin's people said that Fu Tingzhou was arrogant, cruel and unkind, and criticized the officials who accompanied the army, and wanted the army to be his one-word hall.

Yan Wei's argument was even more ruthless, saying that Fu Tingzhou avoided the war and deliberately let the Mongols go, and the siege of the capital might be a conspiracy between him and the Altan tribe. Fu Tingzhou advocated Ma Shi before, and secretly funded the enemy. After the Ma Shi was stopped, Fu Tingzhou held a grudge, so he colluded with the leader of the Alta tribe, and let the Alta tribe bypass the Datong Prefecture, attack the Great Wall from the north, and besiege the capital, in order to intimidate the heavyweights. In Kaima City, Fu Tingzhou can also take the opportunity to seize power.

This story caused a thousand waves, and there was no favorable progress in the Northern Expedition for a long time, and the emperor couldn't help but suspect Fu Tingzhou's intentions. According to Fu Tingzhou's ability, this should not be the case.

Xia Wenjin and Yan Wei were fighting against each other, and both sides used Fu Tingzhou as a raft. Even if the emperor trusted Fu Tingzhou at first, he couldn't help but be shaken by Xia Wenjin and Yan Wei's uninterrupted impeachment.

And it was Lu Heng who gave the fatal blow. Lu Heng took out the evidence that Fu Tingzhou condoned his army to harass the people's livelihood and greedily advance during the rush to the capital. During the entire siege of the city, not many people in the suburbs of Beijing were looted by the Mongols, but ten times as many people were robbed of their property and food by the Datong army ruffians.

As soon as the emperor made up his mind, he dismissed Fu Tingzhou from his military post and ordered him to return to Beijing immediately for investigation.

The grand occasion of the expedition was vividly remembered, but Fu Tingzhou did not expect that he would come back again, not because of his victory, but because of "collaborating with the enemy".

Fu Tingzhou was taken to jail for investigation on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy. Fu Tingzhou still had an arrow wound he suffered on the battlefield. Because the wound was not treated in time on the road, the wound has not healed until now, and it is still in severe pain. Fu Tingzhou endured the pain in silence, thinking of his own crime, he thought it was ridiculous.

collaborating with the enemy? As a general who fought against Japanese pirates in the south and against Mongolia in the north, he was actually said to be collaborating with the enemy.

Jin Yiwei's imperial prison was quiet. He sat quietly in the prison and heard footsteps in the corridor. He thought it was the arraignment, or the Jin Yiwei who forced him to confess, but when he looked up, he saw a completely unexpected person.

She was as slender as she was seventeen, and if it wasn't for the wide waist of her clothes, she wouldn't even be able to tell that she was pregnant. Her brows were the delicate and feminine look he was familiar with, perhaps because she became a mother, or because she had lived a happy life in these years, the cold and alienation that had always haunted her in her youth dissipated a lot, and her temperament became gentle, quiet, and composed.

Like a priceless pearl, shining brightly.

Goodbye to the two of them, I never expected this to be the case. Wang Yanqing greeted Fu Tingzhou across the cell door: "Marquis of Zhenyuan."

Fu Tingzhou really didn't expect that she was here. He smiled sarcastically and asked, "Where's Lu Heng? He actually let you, a pregnant person, go into the prison alone? Has he become so mad for promotion?"

"The emperor sent me here." Wang Yanqing said, "The emperor wants to know if you really have the heart to cooperate with the enemy."

Fu Tingzhou was used to hearing all kinds of slander, but the word collaborating with the enemy came out of her mouth, but it made him greatly humiliated. Fu Tingzhou stared at Wang Yanqing motionless, and asked, "Qingqing, do you think I have the intention of collaborating with the enemy?"

Wang Yanqing looked at him in prison. They met at the age of seven. They studied together in the rain and rain, practiced martial arts in the winter and summer, and knelt together in the ancestral hall when they were punished. She knew that he had been competitive since he was a child, and he rarely cared about anyone in his life, but there was no doubt about his talent and hard work in the art of war.

She thought that even if the two of them had no fate, at least he could become a millionaire
