Shanglin Yuan, flat optimistic.

Originally, this was the location of the shogunate of Tian Shin's chariot and cavalry shogunate the year before last, and it was set up for the winter hunting in Shanglin Yuan, but later the military and political core was transferred to Changlepo, which was close to Chang'an, and it was changed to a place for the families of middle and high-ranking military officials.

When Guan Ping and Zhuge Qiao arrived here with Tian Xin, it was already the evening of the next day, and Guan Ji entertained them with a private banquet and invited Xiahouping and his wife to reminisce about the past.

During the banquet, Xiahou Xian and his wife, who were frequent guests in Tian Xin's house, looked at Amu in formal clothes, and they sighed a lot.

Tian Xin sat on the throne with displeasure written on his face.

He was unhappy, so Guan Ji was also unhappy, but after all, it was the first meeting between Amu and Ah Yan, and the two didn't lose their temper much. It just embarrassed Guan Ping and his wife, and Zhuge Qiao, who came with them, was even more uncontrollable.

I really didn't expect that in Tian Xin's eyes, the status of Guan Ping, the emperor, and the empress was so unbearable that Tian Xin had no intention of maintaining the necessary disguise on such occasions as private banquets.

Treat them with a cold attitude; And the eldest princess of the South China Sea forgot the kindness of the first emperor, and on this occasion, as the hostess, she did not open her mouth to enliven the atmosphere, which made many of Zhuge Qiao's missions impossible to achieve.

Even Xiahou Xian and his wife avoided the topic, only talking about their own family affairs of giving birth and missing their children, and had no intention of asking Guan Ping and Zhuge Qiao, let alone asking about Jiangdu news, which made the atmosphere of the whole banquet always very depressing.

This oppressive environment is only limited to adults, and the banquet is always filled with children's laughter.

Guan Ping wanted to start the topic, but he could ignore Tian Xin's indifference, but he couldn't ignore his sister's attitude, so he held Xiao Tian Ping in his left hand and sat on his lap, from teaching Xiao Tian Ping to speak, and gradually developed into asking Xiao Tian Ping about various daily life.

At the end of the dull feast, Guan Ping met Xiahou Ping, who came to accompany him, in the mezzanine near the toilet.

Xiahou Pinghu was puzzled, and immediately asked: "Dingguo, what is it that makes Chen Gong so depressed and unhappy?" ”

"Brother, this Your Majesty's concern is not my or Bosong's idea."

Guan Ping was dressed in gray and black fine linen, and his hands were behind his back, and his face was full of unhappiness: "Alas, Xiaoxian deliberately embarrassed me and wanted to silence my tongue." But if we can't explain it at today's banquet, what will I and Bo Song have to see Your Majesty? ”

As he spoke, he sighed for a long time, and saw that there was an ant nest at the root of the wall, Guan Ping raised his feet and trampled on it.

Xiahou Ping frowned when he saw it: "What else is going on?" Dingguo is at ease in Fang County, so why bother to get into trouble? ”

There are two reasons why Guan Ping was able to leave Fangling County, where he was exiled, the first was that the emperor's eldest son was about to be born, and it was necessary for Guan Ping and his wife to visit the palace in person; It is the end of the year again, and it is also obliged to accompany the general to keep the New Year.

The eldest son of the emperor was born, and the emperor granted amnesty to the world as usual, and many exiled people were also within the scope of pardon, which just exempted Guan Ping from the punishment of exile, and now Guan Ping is one of the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty; It's just that this commoner has a general, the father of Song Gong, and the son of Han Shouhouhou, as well as the younger brother of Shang Hou and former general.

In addition, he has already jumped out of the whirlpool of the court, and now he is involved again, why bother?

Xiahou Ping was deeply incomprehensible, so much so that he was angry and waited for Guan Ping's answer.

If you are not satisfied, you will be beaten up, so that Guan Ping can have a long memory.

Under the supervision of his gaze, Guan Ping looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The queen intends to marry Xiaoxian to continue the friendship between the imperial family and Sanke." ”

Xiahouping was indifferent and asked, "What else?" ”

"This ...... The queen wanted to befriend her uncle, so that Tian and Zhou Hou were both in-laws. ”

Guan Ping looked cautious, but Xiahou Ping still looked suspicious: "Dingguo, that's all?" With Chen Gong's weight, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to color. I'm afraid that Dingguo has other hidden secrets and refuses to say it clearly. ”

Guan Ping was silent and concentrated on stepping on the ants.

On the other side, Tian Xin and Guan Ji had dinner together, and they didn't have the appetite to eat during the banquet.

Tian Xin's anger had almost emanated during the banquet, and now he was not angry and said: "I thought that the emperor was just thinking about marrying Ajuan and Zhou Hou, but I never thought that this person was a thief, and he was still thinking about Ayan." This was expected, and there was nothing to be discouraged about. ”

"But in the name of the queen, I want to make my family's Ah Yan his wife. Does he not know what my family is up to? What's even more annoying is my brother, I have a tacit understanding with him. Hmph, it's my family's Ah Yan, he doesn't want it, can he still send it to the emperor's house as a son-in-law! ”

Guan Ji's face is not good-looking, this is something that has been planned for a long time, and it is a shortcut to tie the Tian family and Guan Ping.

What is the picture? Isn't it to reassure A-Weng and guarantee Amu's future status?

If there is no Guanping Hankou fiasco, then Amu is the future Song Gong and Sanke; But Guan Ping lost everything, and also lost Amu's Song Gong inheritance. Now that I raise Amu as a son-in-law, don't you just want to compensate Amu?

I don't want anything from Guan Ping, I don't want anything, everything Guan Ping has is not lacking in his own family, and he is not taking advantage of him.

The result is good, live up to your kindness, step by step to test your bottom line, what do you want to do?

A salt, a salt, a person will die without salt.

At present, Guanzhong's salt reserves have never exceeded half a year, and salt from Yizhou, Xiangzhou, and Hedong are not easy to buy. The amount of salt produced in Guanzhong is simply not enough for human and animal consumption.

Guan Ji was also sulking alone, and did not go to explain and persuade Tian Xin.

Affection is a shackle and a noose, and the emperor will naturally not give up any opportunity, and will do everything possible to exert means on his side, trying to trap himself with a complex net of in-laws.

As long as the general is in power for one day, the emperor will have any outrageous means...... will not lead to catastrophe.

There is a sense of absurdity of a fox and a fake tiger, and the more Guan Ji thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, and she laughs angrily and helplessly.

Seeing this, Tian Xin smiled and said, "I thought that the queen could recognize the strength of Beifu and know what is fundamental, but I didn't expect that she really wanted to be a queen of the world." I don't want to think about it, with the strength of Zhulu, even if the clan is wiped out, let alone my family? ”

It is true that the emperor was set aside, but the queen is the third in Jiangdu after all, and even the existence of a comprehensive influence a little higher than the emperor, how many people are around compliments and stammering...... With Tian Chang's age, how could he keep his original thoughts, and naturally float up and dream some things.

Now the emperor is a general in his left hand and an empress in his right hand, and these two shields are really hard in his hand.

At this point, we must not take a step back, and we must go further to save everyone's lives; If you choose to remain silent or retreat, it will definitely set off a civil war that will spread across the country.

With a firm mind, Tian Xin said: "Since the woman has ordered the Shaofu to allocate money to supply the imperial family, then I don't need to allocate other money to supply the queen." Now that the delivery of Nanyang is imminent, Jiangdu has three battalions of soldiers to act as the queen's guards. I thought she would be bullied by the emperor, but now that the husband and wife are in harmony, I won't worry about it. ”

If the three battalions of government soldiers who are transferred to serve in turn, the queen will immediately lose two thousand Changle Palace guards in the palace city on the northern outskirts of Jiangdu...... There are only 1,500 guards in the entire South Palace and North Palace.

Take away these two thousand people, when the people of Lingnan, Xiangzhou, Jiangxia, and Jiangdong pass through Jiangdu, there is naturally no need to make a special trip to meet the queen, and there is no need to present local specialties and the like.

Since you have chosen the emperor and want to be a good queen, you should be mentally prepared.

Here Tian Xin decided to drain the empress's military power, additional economic gains, and the unique Tian clan's support force; Other aspects also had to follow, so I had to entrust Guan Ji to deal with it.

Amu's son-in-law has been accepted, and the eldest brother agrees or not, and Amu will stay in Guanzhong in the future.

If you want to sin, you will sin to death; But there is also Zhang Fei's side to deal with, there will never be a shortage of people around the emperor, since Guan Ping has come to test the tone, then he must have sent someone to Zhang Fei to do ideological activities.

With Zhang Fei's loyalty to the first emperor, he would definitely support the emperor, and even risk coming to Guanzhong to personally marry his little sister for Zhang Shao.

One ring after another, you must fight back!
