The summer night is quiet, and the dark sky is full of shining stars. A bright moon hung high in the sky, a faint light like a thin veil, covering the trees.

Yun Qing was talking to Feng Dajun and the others in the camp tent, when suddenly there was a commotion in the north, and it was silent after a while.

Cui Mo saw that Yun Qing didn't speak, and hurriedly asked, "General, what's wrong?" Yun Qing mobilized all the three thousand cavalry. I have to say that the feeling of being the master of the house is good, he can transfer troops as he wants, and no one will point fingers.

Yun Qing said: "Ten miles to the north from here, there are many dense shrubs and trees, and there must be many birds perched among them. The sound was coming from the back, probably caused by an enemy lurking there and a bird being frightened into flight. ”

When Cui Mo heard this, he stood up and said, "General, I will take five hundred cavalry to search in the woods. If there is a lurking enemy, kill him without leaving a piece of armor. "If you dare to ambush them, let these puppies have no return.

As a precaution, Yun Qing said, "Bring a thousand cavalry over!" Because he had already thought of attacking this place, Yun Qing had already asked the spies to survey the terrain here very carefully.

An hour later, Cui Mo returned and said, "General, there are indeed ambushes in that jungle. However, we have all been annihilated. ”

Feng Dajun asked, "How many people?" Hearing that there were more than 600 people, Feng Dajun said with a cold face: "The tricks of the sneak attack have been used, it seems that this Timur is afraid." "Timur is the de facto ruler of the Western Sea, known as the King of the Western Sea.

Yun Qing said calmly: "We are not as familiar with the environment of the West Sea as Timur, so be careful. "The environment in the West Sea is more complicated, so I have to be careful, and this time I only brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, so I don't have an advantage in numbers.

Yuxi, who is in Ho City, is also too busy. On the second day of Han Jianming's arrival in Ho City, she opened her mouth and asked Han Jianming what he thought. Han Jianming has been in politics for several years and has rich experience and can help her a lot.

Han Jianming asked, "What do you think is appropriate for me?"

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Big brother, you used to be the secretary of the military department, no matter what you do, I think it's a bit overkill." "The highest official positions are the governor and the political envoy, but there are people in both positions.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "No matter what position you were in the imperial court before, you have to start again when you get to the northwest, and you can arrange whatever errands you do." "He can't be special just because he is Yuxi's eldest brother, it doesn't matter for a while, but the relationship will stiffen after a long time.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "There is another vacant position, which is the envoy of the Inspectorate Division. I don't know if the eldest brother is interested?" The original envoy was Xiong Nanqi, but he was deposed by Yuxi. This person is not familiar with the law as well, and he is completely chaotic with Yunqing's soldiers. Since the dethronement, this position has been vacant.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "According to the procurator, he is in charge of the justice of the entire northwest, and he also takes into account the responsibility of supervision. Did you discuss this matter with your brother-in-law before deciding it?" Although it is only the official position of the third grade, this can be implemented. In his capacity, the governor and the political envoy could not control him.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." Big brother, you have been a member of the Ministry of War, and no one will have any objections to let you be the envoy. As long as the eldest brother doesn't dislike the official position too low, it will be. ”

Han Jianming smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful." "Although he used to be the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the military department is also a puppet.

In front of Han Jianming, Yuxi did not hide his thoughts, and said: "Big brother, in fact, I also want to set up a school in every county in the northwest to cultivate more talents. ”

There are too few people in the Northwest to read, so there are few resources. Therefore, Yuxi wants to establish some public schools to give children in the northwest more opportunities to read and write.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Your idea is very good. We can make a plan to bring your idea to life within five years. If you want, you can leave this to me. ”

Yuxi hesitated a little: "Big brother, it's too tiring like this." ”

Han Jianming said with a smile: "What's so tiring? Isn't it just one more errand?" He is not afraid of having too many things now, he is afraid that he has nothing to do.

Yuxi nodded and said, "As long as the eldest brother is not afraid of being tired, I can't wait for it!"

Xu Wu walked in from outside and presented the news from the capital to Yuxi.

After Yuxi read the news, his expression was very ugly, and he said to Han Jianming: "Big brother, has the Han family eliminated our clan?"

Han Jianming said with a normal expression: "From the day I decided to leave the capital, I knew that there would be this result. By the way, did the Han family's title be given to the third uncle?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "This title was given to Han Jingyan." "Yuxi hates Jiang Hongjin to death, but what she hates the most is Han Jingyan. pushed her into the fire pit of the Jiang family, and regardless of her life or death, she was not allowed to reconcile with Jiang Hongjin.

Han Jianming said with a complicated mood: "Third uncle, he finally got his wish. ”

Xi was very suspicious when he heard this, and asked, "Do you get your wish?" does the eldest brother mean that Han Jingyan has coveted the title before?"

Han Jianming nodded and said: "The third uncle thinks that he is better than my father, if this title is passed on to him, it can revitalize the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion." It's just that my grandmother didn't allow it, and when he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, she let him go. ”

Yuxi really didn't know that the truth about Han Jingyan's release was this, and said with some emotion: "It's fortunate that my grandmother got him out, otherwise the Guogong Mansion would have collapsed long ago." Although my grandmother is partial to Han Jingyan, the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands are full of meat, and it is easy to understand that she does not want her brothers to kill each other.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "When the third uncle returns to Beijing, I will be eighteen years old and will be able to stand alone." ”

Yuxi reminded Han Jianming: "Big brother, our branch has been expelled from the Han family, and we will have nothing to do with the Han family in the capital in the future." ”

The people of the Han clan do not seek to be motivated, but only indulge in pleasure. There are nearly 1,000 people in the entire clan, and there is no more than one slap in the three generations of internal examinations, and there are no more than ten lifters. There are very few people who have a future in the barracks. Therefore, most of the clansmen are not having a good time, and there are many people who play the autumn wind before the New Year's Festival. Such a family is actually a heavy burden.

Han Jianming said: "I know. ”

Han Jianming didn't hate Han Jingyan, although Han Jingyan once coveted the title of the Guogong Mansion, but he didn't harm him. As for the clan expelling him, he didn't think it was wrong, just like when he expelled Yuxi, he was forced by the form. It's just that he knows that Yuxi hates Han Jingyan and doesn't have a good impression of the people of the clan, so he doesn't say much.

As Yuxi said, no one expressed dissatisfaction with Han Jianming's appointment as an envoy. In the entire Northwest, there is no one with higher qualifications than Han Jianming.

A few days later, Yuxi received a letter from Yuchen. After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and said to Xu Wu: "The imperial court is preparing to appoint a general as the governor of the northwest, what do you think?" Yuchen said very tactfully in the letter, but this is the meaning.

Xu Wu's face changed slightly, and he said: "Madam, the imperial court now wants to appoint a general as the governor of the northwest, it must be a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he is not well-intentioned, but he can't agree." "They have had enough of the hardships of the dog court, and they have just had two good days, but they don't want to go back to the past.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "If the emperor promises to hand over the northwest to us for management, and then make the general a prince, I think you can agree." ”

Xu Wu immediately smiled: "Madam, this couldn't be better." "It doesn't matter if the prince or something, the key is that the northwest can't let the imperial court interfere anymore.

Yuxi wrote a reply, asked Mr. Chen to revise it, and then copied it again, asking the visitor to take the letter back to the capital.

Han Jianming knew the news, and it was already the next day. Han Jianming smiled and said, "Wangjue, it's not too much. "The northwest is in the hands of Yunqing, and a prince is really not a big deal.

Yuxi was a little melancholy, and said: "I really didn't expect that one day, I would become enemies with Yuchen. "It's really unpredictable.

Han Jianming still has a lot of feelings for Yuchen, and Yuchen has also helped him a lot over the years: "Although Yuchen is the queen, he may not be as comfortable as you." "Yuxi is now, but everything is going well. Well, if there is another son, it will be complete.

A smile appeared on Yuxi's face and said, "When I got married that day, I didn't expect to get such a good marriage. Thinking of this, Yuxi said: "Yan Wushuang killed the Song family, does the eldest brother think he will let the Empress Dowager Song go?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No." I can't help but not let go of the Empress Dowager Song, even the heirs of the first emperor, I'm afraid I won't let go of any of them. ”

Yuxi also agreed with this, Yan Wushuang was originally the pride of the sky, but the world was turned upside down overnight. has been incognito for more than ten years just to take revenge, how can he let go of anyone who harmed him: "Our people in the capital haven't found the way yet, and the news is too late." "The people sent by Yuxi to the capital found out what happened.

Han Jianming took the initiative to say: "Although I left the capital, there are still some connections there. This means that those who stayed in the capital can be asked to find out the news.

Yuxi smiled and said, "That's great." ”

As he was talking, Xu Wu walked in quickly and said in a loud voice: "Madam, the general has broken through Dezhou City. ”

Yuxi was also very happy to hear the news.

Han Jianming said: "The West Sea is so big, and there are many Yi people, so it is not easy to manage. Yuxi, I think it would be easier to manage if the West Sea was divided into two parts, left and right. ”

This question is very complicated, and it can't be decided in a few words: "Whether to divide it into two parts to manage, I'll discuss this with Yunqing when he comes back." "If the people of the Yi nationality are managed by the Han people, it is difficult to manage them well. Yuxi felt that it was better to follow the system of the imperial court and let them nominate one person to manage it. They just need to control the overall situation. Otherwise, it is easy to cause unrest. R1148
