Su Xubai submitted his resignation notice, but the emperor threw it directly into the wastebasket aside: "This Marquis of Wuchang is not a lover. How come he has given birth to a young son and is so infatuated?"
Fan Zheng on the side was silent, and after a while he said: "Aren't all the daughters of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion like this? They are obsessed with the men around them. The old Marquis is the same, and so is the husband of General Meng Lingjing. Now there are more
Mr. Su, I can only say that a woman who is blood related to Mrs. Meng can make people fall in love with her!"
The emperor paused for a while while approving the memorial, and then said: "Su Xubai is a capable person. He was chosen as a Tanhualang at a young age. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and is very calm. He is rare among these young people.
If he focuses all his attention on government affairs, he may become a famous prime minister in the future. I want to train him well to assist the prince in the future, but it is a pity that his head is full of love, what a pity!"
Fan Zheng paused, and then said softly: "We are all young men. If we can have no love at all, then we are still a young man? Since Your Majesty thinks that he is a malleable talent, it is better to let him have the beauty of an adult.
Keep your mind at ease and concentrate on serving the imperial court. Good."
"He is a malleable talent, but Meng Duiwan is also the successor of the Detachment of Women. Meng Lingjing is not too young now. He has no daughter under his knees. The entire Meng family only has a daughter like Meng Duiwan. The Detachment of Detachment is
The Meng family created it by themselves, but they would not be at ease if it were handed over to others, so Meng Duiwan became the only successor. If I trap people in the capital at this time, I will still lose a talent.
!" The emperor sighed.
Fan Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, the Detachment of Women guards Lingnan and is also a very important army for the imperial court. Naturally, it is impossible for her to have no successor.
"That's all, that's all. Since he wants to resign, I won't let him. In this world, nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory will happen to him if he doesn't like them!" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "He also
You have to understand the principle of karma."
Fan Zheng lowered his head and said no more.
The bandit riots in Lingnan broke out in the summer. The summer of this year was very hot. After there was no rain for half a month, a fire broke out in the granary of the Detachment of Women late one night. Although it was put out in time,
But the battle with the bandits also started at this time.
Lingnan is dominated by mountains and hilly terrain. Most of these bandits hide in the mountains. In the past, they only occasionally came down from the mountains to rob homes. But since the fire was set on that day, these bandits seemed to have a purpose and began to harass the villages and destroy the women's army.
The troops were scattered, which made Meng Lingjing very angry.
For Meng Lingjing, if the enemy is about to fight a mighty battle, he will not feel afraid at all, but it is just like this, with small groups of people harassing them everywhere, it is really annoying to her, and
Her men and horses were also running around here and there, and it happened to be summer, which made everyone feel a little uneasy.
"General, there were bandits coming down the mountain to the west last night!"
Meng Lingjing, who had just returned from the north, heard reports from outside before she could even sit down and take a sip of hot tea.
The hot tea brought to Meng Lingjing's mouth lost its aroma in an instant, and he placed it heavily on the table: "It's fucking endless!"
"General, their riot this time is very weird. They are not robbing food or women. They are just setting fire to the village. They seem to be attracting our attention and making us tired of running around." Afu actually said.
.
Meng Lingjing frowned: "I also discovered the weirdness this time, but right now we can only deal with it. After all, we don't know what they want to do."
Afu frowned slightly: "I'm just a little worried. The general is running around and there is no backbone in the military camp. I'm worried that they are using this method to divert the general's attention and take the opportunity to attack the camp."
Meng Lingjing sat down slowly and took a deep breath: "I have thought about it too, but I have been guarding Lingnan for so many years and this has not happened for a long time. I am afraid there will be some big changes in the future."
"Then general, what are we going to do next?" Afu was a little anxious.
"Have you come back Wanwan?" Meng Lingjing suddenly asked.
"The girl went to the south with the army to suppress the bandits, and she hasn't come back yet." Afu looked at Meng Lingjing, "What does the general mean, does he want the girl to lead the troops to suppress the bandits?"
"In the future, this women's army will always be handed over to her. She can't always follow others. She will always have to face these rebel bandits in person. Although it is a bit hasty, when I was a soldier in the war, I also
It's very hasty." Meng Lingjing laughed, "When she comes back, you let her lead the team to the west. I also want to see if she can handle these things now."
"But General..."
"There is no cocoa. You can go with us. There is Forsythia there. Nothing will happen! I am also worried that someone will take the opportunity to attack the camp. You must know that all our food and grass are in the camp. A large camp was attacked.
The entire Lingnan cannot be defended!" Meng Lingjing lowered her eyes and tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, "By the way, write a letter to my elder brother and ask if anything strange happened in the capital?"
Afu frowned: "The general means that it may be the seventh prince..."
"I need His Majesty's order to kill someone. Otherwise, if I don't do it right, I will be charged with murdering a member of the royal family. I can't bear such a serious charge!" Meng Lingjing said coldly.
Afu quickly responded.
Meng Lingjing sat in the room, looking at the tea cup in front of her, her face became a little ugly. After all, if the seventh prince was really responsible for what happened in Lingnan, then Mobei would not be much better. The princes have been competing for the heir apparent since ancient times.
It was a very troublesome matter, and these ministers would inevitably be involved in it.
When Meng Duiwan came back, she hadn't even put down the sword in her hand. She was told by Afu who came over that something happened in the village to the west. She quickly took a sip of herbal tea and went out with the sword: "It's with my aunt.
Want to go together?"
"The general said, let the girl go by herself this time." Afu looked at Meng Duiwan and said softly, "Because it is the first time for the girl to lead troops out, so I will accompany the girl this time, but she must lead the troops to fight.
Already."
Meng Duiwan's face was full of surprise, but it was only for a moment: "Okay, I understand, I have Sister Lao Afu!"
