Wang Xi didn't know what Yun Xi was going to say, so he didn't dare to stop him anymore, and he was about to go to Yanxi Palace at a trott.

But he had only run a few steps, and when he passed a junction, a few people suddenly came out from the south, and he was so startled that he almost didn't stop his feet, and finally stopped before he hit it, and after a light pat, he raised his head to reprimand.

But he only glanced at it, then immediately lowered his head, bowed down and said, "The slave has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Huainan. ”

"Flat." Yun Zhi said casually, walked up to Yun Xi, and also saluted: "Brother Huang." ”

"My sister heard that there was a change in the war in the northwest, and the royal brother wanted to tour the north in advance and set off early tomorrow morning. That,"

Yun Zhi was still pondering the wording, so she heard Yun Xi say: "The fourth sister wants to ask my brother if he will take you out on patrol." Don't worry, my brother will definitely take you with him. You hurry back and pack your bags, and although you will not leave tomorrow, you will definitely be on the boat before noon, although it will not be at dawn. ”

"Brother Huang will take his sister on patrol tomorrow?" Yun Zhi was still racking her brains to think about the proper words, but when she heard Yun Xi say this, she was taken aback and couldn't help but ask.

She has been with the current Yunxi for twelve years, and she can almost figure out his thoughts, and Yunxi has no longer felt good about her at noon today, but she still came to ask with a glimmer of hope, but she didn't want her wish to really come true.

She really wanted to ask why Yun Xi would change her mind, but it was useless to ask, and most of the royal brothers would not tell the truth, so they didn't ask.

Of course, she didn't know that the reason why Yun Xi changed her mind was also related to this incident in the northwest. After seeing the paperwork, he immediately decided to set off early to inspect the northwest so that he could deal with difficult matters nearby. But this also brings a problem: when many officials see Yunxi set off in such a hurry, most of them will think that something big has happened in the northwest, and even Yiwu has been captured, and the word of mouth will spread to the people, which will cause panic, especially those officials and merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

But it was useless for the court to come forward to refute the rumors. Although the credibility of the government is still there for the people, officials will think that the court is hiding such a major event, and rumors will continue to spread among officials. If the source of infection is not cut off, propaganda alone will not do much to the people.

So Yun Xi decided to bring Yun Zhi and Miao Jin with her. The emperor went out on patrol with the woman, and when the officials saw it, they would not think that something terrible had happened in the northwest, but that it was only slightly beyond the plan and could be controlled. The hearts of the people have stabilized.

Yun Zhi was satisfied when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister, thank you for the grace of the imperial brother." ”

"It's getting dark, you go back and pack your bags. My brother also has something to command. Yun Xi also said with a smile.

"Brother Huang, sister, go back and let the next person pack their luggage. However, in addition to my sister, there are also people who have something to ask the royal brother. Yun Zhi said.

"Who? What's the matter? Yun Xi didn't expect it to be who it would be for a while.

"It's Concubine Qin." Yun Zhi said, turned her head and walked to the south of the intersection, and after a while, she pulled a woman about forty years old, who was very well maintained, but at this time looked very haggard.

The woman was a little scared when she saw Yun Xi at first, and seemed to have the intention of retreating; But he immediately took back the intention of retreating, ran to Yun Xi in small steps, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, concubine, concubine begs Your Majesty, begs Your Majesty, don't, don't let Yang Tongzhi go to the front line to fight!" ”

The commanders surnamed Yang in the world know not to mention thousands, but there are quite a few of them, even if Yun Xi knows more than ten. However, of course he understood which one Concubine Qin was talking about at this time.

"Hurry up, concubine. You are my elder, how can I accept the courtesy of the concubine. Yun Xi said as he stepped aside, and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to help her up. Concubine Qin turned her head to face Yun Xi again, but was dragged up by several eunuchs.

After that, Yun Xi said again: "Concubine Niangniang, I also understand your thoughts, but Yang Feng, as a military general of the Ming Dynasty, how can he not contribute to the Ming Dynasty?" What's more, the hereditary status on his current body is just a commanding fellow knowledge, how can he be worthy of his second sister? I asked him to go to the Northwest Front to accumulate military merits, and he was promoted to a higher position or even knighted, so as to be worthy of his second sister. Yun Xi said.

This Concubine Qin is the biological mother of Zhu Yunlan, the eldest princess of Zhongshan, and the commander she is talking about is of course Yang Feng of the eldest princess of Zhongshan. Although Yang Feng is now very important, Yun Xi is very strict with the awarding of the world card, and Yang Feng's current Tongzhi world position is only awarded after following Yun Xi out on patrol, and there is no meritorious service after that, so there is no higher world position.

The news from the palace gossip spread quickly, although there was a situation about the crisis in the northwest, but the fact that Yun Xi wanted to leave Beijing immediately was undoubted. After that, Yunxi's other orders also came out, especially related to the harem, such as Yunxi to send Yang Feng to the northwest to fight.

When Concubine Qin heard the news, she was discussing the marriage with her daughter in her palace, and when she went out to the toilet in the middle of the discussion, she heard the palace maid discussing the matter, and she immediately panicked, and she didn't care about talking to her daughter, so she hurriedly ran out of the palace with a few palace maids to find Yun Xi. met Yun Zhi halfway, and what happened just now.

Concubine Qin herself is not good at speaking, and she didn't know how to refute Yun Xi's words when she heard it, so she could only say: "But the emperor, fighting a war is going to kill people!" If Yang Feng dies in battle, what will Yunlan do? Yang Fengke has been named the captain of the horse. ”

"Yun Lan has already been a widow before, if Yang Feng dies this time, how can Yun Lan still get married? Your Majesty, you can't bear to let her die of old age in the palace? Concubine Qin was a little speechless.

"It was he who had been made a lieutenant that I wanted him to go to war. As a member of the royal family, he should serve the country. Yun Xi not only did not get angry, but explained again.

To tell the truth, Yun Xi's reason for letting Yang Feng go to war is very simple, that is, he thinks that the royal nobles should lead by example and serve the country, so that ordinary soldiers can fight hard with middle and lower-level generals. These people are the most obvious vested interests of the Ming Dynasty now, and they don't contribute, how can they expect others to contribute?

And Yang Feng is still the general who commands the five upper guards, and the probability of dying in battle is negligible, so there is nothing inappropriate.

However, Yun Xi's thoughts would certainly not be understood by Concubine Qin. When she heard Yun Xi's words at this time, she didn't know where she got the strength, so she broke free from the several eunuchs who were grabbing her, threw herself in front of Yun Xi, knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand to hold his legs, and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine begged the emperor, and when Yunlan got married and had a child in the future, let Yang Feng go out to fight The concubine would never dare to object, but now it can't!" ”

Yun Xi had never been exposed to such a thing in his life, so he was stunned for a moment, and he tried his best to break free a few times and couldn't break free, and said: "Concubine Niangniang, if you have something to say, how can you be so disrespectful!" Several eunuchs and palace maids also stepped forward one after another, but Concubine Qin just desperately pulled Yun Xi's leg and didn't let go, and everyone couldn't untie it for a while.

"Your Majesty, even if the emperor executes his concubines in the name of the emperor's disgrace, it will be fine, I just ask the emperor not to send Yang Feng to lead the troops to the battle." Concubine Qin cried. Although she was just a little peasant girl before entering the palace, she also knew that such a fuss would inevitably make Yun Xi hate herself. But she was really frightened by the possibility that Yang Feng might die in battle and Yun Lan would become a widow for the second time, she only had this one daughter in her life, and if she died alone in the end, she would die blindly.

Just as he was about to talk, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Mother, what are you doing!" ”

Yun Xi and Concubine Qin turned their heads at the same time to look at the place where the voice came from, and sure enough, they saw Yun Lan hurrying over from there, with a look of shame on their faces. Concubine Qin was taken aback when she saw her daughter coming, her hand loosened, and Yun Xi took the opportunity to break free.

"My sister pleaded guilty to the royal brother on behalf of her mother. Ask the royal brother not to punish the sin of the mother concubine. She walked over and said first.

"Of course, my brother will not deal with Concubine Qin again. She was also confused for a while because she was too concerned. Yun Xi replied.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Yun Lan said this, squatted down to help her mother up, and said to her: "Mother, don't mess with the emperor anymore, go back with your daughter!" ”

"I'm also for you......" "If you're for me, you shouldn't come to mess with the royal brother!" Now go back with my daughter. Yun Lan interrupted her.

Somehow, it seemed that Concubine Qin was very afraid of her daughter, so she stopped making noise, and after pleading guilty to Yunxi, she asked the palace maid to help her go back.

Yun Lan didn't go back together, but turned to Yun Xi again, knelt down and said: "Brother Huang, my sister's mother is from a small family, even if she learns the etiquette of the palace after entering the palace, the old habits are difficult to change, and my sister asks the royal brother to spare this time." If you have to punish me, punish me. ”

In fact, Concubine Qin's making such a fuss would not do Yunlan any benefit at all.

"Hurry up." Yun Xi bent down to help her up, but she didn't help her up after a few helps, so she could only say: "I know, I will punish Concubine Qin for not leaving the palace for half a year." ”

Although Yun Xi was angry, he didn't think about heavy punishment. After all, Concubine Qin is an elder, how can there be any reason for the younger generation to punish the elders. Even this punishment will not be announced publicly, but will take the form of house arrest.

Hearing this, Yun Lan stood up. After she stood up, she also asked, "Brother Huang, do you really want to send Yang Feng to the expedition?" ”

"Well, second sister, Yang Feng, as my cronie, will marry you in the future, and that is the noble relative of the Ming Dynasty. You have always known the thoughts of the imperial brother, and you really want to send him to the northwest. Yun Xi hurriedly added: "However, he is a general who commands the five upper guards, and he will never die in battle." ”

Yun Lan didn't speak for a while. How she didn't know Yunhee's thoughts. Yun Xi treats the people around him very well on weekdays, rewards a lot of money and food, and doesn't care about occasional small mistakes.

But when the country is in trouble, these people have to serve the country, and the more people who are treated preferentially on weekdays, the heavier the responsibility at this time, whether it is a prince or a prince, or a noble relative. If you don't want to, then don't think about having a future from now on. From this point of view, Yun Xi is quite mean.

Yun Lan lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, "My sister knows." But ask the royal brother to forward this letter to him. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi opened it and took a look, only to see that it was written: 'Wutong treats each other old, and the mandarin duck will die.'

A virgin woman is a martyr, and so is she who lays down her life.

I can't afford to swear it, and the concubine has an ancient well water. ’
