"I dare," the chief guard hurriedly distinguished: "I mean, it's a big deal, let's go back to Liangzhou and go back to our hometown, doesn't the general often say that I want to go back to my hometown, let's just go back." ”

Qiu Ge paused when he heard this, and only sighed halfway: "It would be nice if I could go back." ”

The chief guard is the son of the Qiu family's slave, because of his outstanding talent when he was young, he was focused on cultivating by the family, he also lived up to the expectations of the family, grew up very quickly, and broke through the martial artist threshold in less than thirty, if he hadn't followed Qiuyun to fight in Liangzhou, I am afraid that he would have already reached the peak of the martial artist, and may even break through the threshold of the grandmaster.

As he was talking, the guards came in to tell the palace that someone was coming, Qiu Ge hurriedly went out, in the front yard of the post station, a little yellow door with two little eunuchs in the front yard, Xiao Huangmen's expression was a little impatient, Qiu Ge hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"Father-in-law, is there a will in the palace?"

Xiao Huangmen was a little arrogant, raised his head and said: "There is a will! The governor of Liangzhou, the general of Qiang Protector, Qiuyun, receives the order!"

"My father is sick, my father-in-law will wait a while, I'll go and invite!" Qiu Ge confessed first, turned around to go in, and Xiao Huangmen said: "Forget it! Our family knows that the general is sick, so don't bother him to get up, I'll go in!"

Xiao Huangmen came in as he spoke, Qiu Ge was not easy to stop and had to confess while walking, these fathers-in-law in the palace could not be offended, especially at this delicate time.

When they arrived at the small courtyard where Qiu Yun lived, Xiao Huangmen shouted in a slender voice in the courtyard: "Holy Command! Governor of Liangzhou, General Huqiang, Qiu Yun receives the order!"

Qiu Ge hurriedly entered the house, Qiu Yun was struggling to stand up, Qiu Ge hurriedly went over to help him up, and took a coat for him to put on, and worked hurriedly for a while before helping Qiu Yun out, Xiao Huangmen was pacing back and forth impatiently in the yard, and only stopped when he saw Qiu Yun come out.

"Chen Qiuyun is late to receive the order, please forgive the saint!" Qiuyun knelt down tremblingly.

"Excuse me!" Xiao Huangmen said, then stretched out his voice and shouted loudly: "Holy Command, the autumn clouds will meet you at the end of the day!"

"The minister's order!" Qiuyun replied, Xiao Huangmen put away his arrogance at this time, and stepped forward with a smile: "General, please get up, from Liangzhou to the imperial capital, you are tired all the way, and you don't know if your body is better?"

"My husband bothered, and it was much better. Qiu Yun stood up with Qiu Ge's help and thanked Xiao Huangmen very politely.

"The general is polite, and he has a holy order, so he has to be like this, the general is not strange, now that the holy order has been completed, the little one will give you a greeting!"

Qiu Ge hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, don't, my father-in-law is the person in front of the saint, and I can't see the official level." ”

Xiao Huangmen stood up and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the second son is funny, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, what is the first level of the official, our family is just running errands in front of the saint, that can be compared with the general, the general is the pillar of the country, just yesterday, Sun Gonggong also said that the general is the dry city of the country, and with a loyal minister like the general, the saint will be worry-free." ”

Qiu Ge took a small time, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and quietly stuffed it into the hand of Xiao Huangmen: "The father-in-law is serious, my father is old, and I always want to go home all these years, this time I want to go home, I plan to propose it to Your Majesty, and I don't know if Your Majesty will approve it, alas, if you want to talk about your hometown, I left when I was five or six years old, and now I can't remember what it is." ”

As he spoke, he entered the house, there was a smell of medicine in the house, Xiao Huangmen sniffed, and said casually: "General, I'm afraid the second prince is disappointed, the emperor knows about the general's weapon, I'm afraid it won't be as the general wants." ”

As he spoke, he swept his eyes and sighed and said, "The general is hard, this Luoshui Station is too simple, after tomorrow, the general can change his residence." ”

Qiu Ge helped Qiu Yun to lie down on the chaise longue, got up and came over, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Huangmen, Xiao Huangmen excused himself twice, Qiu Ge pressed him on the seat very casually, and Qiu Yun looked at them with satisfaction while lying on the chaise longue.

"Is the Holy Lord's body healthy?" Qiu Yun asked.

"I don't know this, but you'll know when you see the saint. Xiao Huangmen's mouth was very strict, and Qiu Ge smiled: "It's really rude, how to call my father-in-law?"

"The second son said there, the little surname is Sun, after entering the palace, he took the name, called Xiaochuan, you can call me Grandpa Sun. Xiao Huangmen was very happy, smiled and chatted with Qiu Ge and then got up to say goodbye, Qiu Ge sent it all the way, and stuffed a few silver tickets in his hand at parting.

Qiu Ge stood at the door of the post station, watching the car of the little yellow gate gradually disappear away and disappear around the corner of the street, before slowly turning back. For these eunuchs, the general gate lord clan is ashamed to deal with them, but today is different, Qiu Ge is very clear about his father's thoughts, and the situation that the Qiu family is facing now, so he does not hesitate to lower his status, and he is polite to such a small yellow door, and a year ago, he also disdained this, but there is no way, it is still the same sentence, the situation is stronger than people.

But this pretentiousness is very worthwhile, Xiao Huangmen does not reveal much information but it is very critical, the emperor's attitude towards Qiu Yun is very good, at least much stronger than Qiu Yun's judgment, otherwise with the shrewdness of the palace people, he would not dare to reveal so much;

Qiu Ge came back and picked up the teacup and looked at it, splashed the tea in the cup, changed it to Yunwu tea, and brought it to Qiu Yun, Qiu Yun was still reading, Qiu Ge sat beside him and let out a long breath, which seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Hold back?" Qiuyun asked.

"This old man doesn't go out, the traces are close to abnormality, and the abnormality is a demon. Qiu Ge seemed to be talking to himself, Qiu Yun smiled slightly, and put down the scroll in his hand: "You are abnormal, I am normal, it depends on what the emperor thinks?"

Qiu Ge also smiled: "I see, it's just a false alarm." ”

"A false alarm?" Qiu Yun seemed to smile and asked vaguely, "Is it?"

"Isn't it? Isn't it very clear to Grandpa Sun. Qiu Ge asked rhetorically, Qiu Yun smiled and didn't answer, Qiu Ge stood up: "I'll go and see if the medicine is good." ”

"After I enter the palace tomorrow, you can go out," Qiu Yun said behind him: "It's okay to drink flower wine, and it's okay to cultivate Xuanxiu, but some people can't see it." ”

Qiu Ge turned back and walked to Qiu Yun's chair and asked respectfully, "Please also ask my father to make it clear." ”

"The people of the King of Qi can't see it, the people of the vassal king can't see it, and the people of the prince can't see it. ”

Qiu Ge was silent and nodded, but Qiu Yun was still not at ease: "Do you know what to do?"

Qiu Ge thought for a while and replied, "I don't care about anything else, I'll just find that kid from the Lu family to drink." ”

Qiuyun smiled, Lu Fan, the third son of the Lu family, is a famous prodigal son in the Manchu Dynasty, boating the Luo River with a prostitute, and singing with the Qinglou female Qin Se in the Qinglou, if these are nothing, then the next things are not easy to say, others get married, he broke in, he had to pick off the bride's hijab, and commented on the bride, and the most outrageous and famous thing is that he stripped naked in the winter and wandered around the yard, regardless of the fact that there are still female dependents at home.

Now not only did other people dare not invite him to the door easily, but even his father did not dare to let him live in the house, so let him live in another courtyard.

It stands to reason that such people will be turned away, but Lu Fan is different. First of all, the Lu family is one of the most famous scholars in Shandong, and the six famous families in Shandong, Cui, Lu, Lu, Li, Wang, and Zheng;

The next day, when Qiuyun walked into the Yawen Pavilion, Emperor Taiding did not lie on the bed, but wore a dragon robe and sat on a chair. ”

Qiuyun didn't stop, still according to etiquette, respectfully kowtowed: "Chen Qiuyun was recalled to the court, to meet Your Majesty, and respectfully ask Your Majesty for Holy Peace." ”

"Okay, Qiu Aiqing, get up," Emperor Taiding showed a smile on his sick face, Qiu Yun stood up and looked up at Emperor Taiding, Emperor Taiding was also looking at him, the eyes of the two monarchs and ministers met, and Qiu Yun's gaze was obviously a little surprised.

"It seems that your body bones are not good. Emperor Taiding spoke first, his voice was a little tired, and Qiuyun replied: "The minister just occasionally feels the cold, just recuperate, Your Majesty needs to recuperate." ”

"Hehe, kings have not lived long since ancient times, I am already fifty and eight this year, and I have been in charge of the government for nearly thirty years, and I am not in the top ten among kings, but also in the top fifty, enough, not a short life. Emperor Taiding said, Qiuyun's tears couldn't help but flow down, and Emperor Taiding smiled bitterly: "How can you be like this, how can you still be like a girl." ”

Qiuyun touched his tears: "The minister is out of shape, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Qiu Aiqing, what's wrong today! Forget it, forget it, what kind of crime! Forgive! If you are guilty, let God forgive, and if you are not guilty, let God reward you." Emperor Taiding sighed, and Qiuyun hurriedly persuaded: "The minister wants to admonish, Your Majesty must not be so depressed, you should have faith, so that the Holy Communion can recover." ”

"Okay," Emperor Taiding shook his head slightly: "Over the years, you have worked hard in the west, and Liangzhou Yongzhou can have today's peace, and Aiqing has made great contributions." ”

"The minister is afraid, without the support of the court, the minister cannot stabilize Liangzhou, let alone disdain to defeat Xianbei, the first contribution to stabilizing Liangyong and Yongzhou is in Your Majesty, followed by the important ministers in the court, and the minister is only a little tired. Qiuyun replied.

Emperor Taiding shook his head slightly: "You have also learned to pat on the back, if you want to say that I have a little credit, this is not bad, these ministers of the court." Hmph, it's not that you don't know, forget it, I don't have the heart to care about them, Qiu Aiqing, your age is not young, and your body and bones are not as good as before, and the west is also peaceful, so I won't go back this time. ”

Qiuyun sighed softly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, the minister is indeed old, and he has long wanted to return to Yingchuan, come on"

"Back to Yingchuan?" Emperor Taiding interrupted him, shook his head and said: "That's not good, Qiu Aiqing, you are one of my pillar stones, back to Yingchuan, isn't that for me to cut off a pillar stone, don't you think about it." ”

"Your Majesty!" Qiuyun was stunned, looked at Emperor Taiding, and slowly frowned, Emperor Taiding sighed: "Alas, I know that you don't want to go back to the dynasty, and you don't want to intrigue with those guys, so you have been staying in Liangzhou all these years, but now, my body is good and sometimes bad, you go back to the dynasty to help me, and help me for a few more years, okay?"

The emperor was so humble, Qiu Yun had mixed feelings in his heart, the heroic and heroic emperor who sent him out at the gate of the imperial capital and greeted him at the palace gate back to the court, now only has a sick face, and the light of death has enveloped him.

Qiu Yun burst into tears and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister has already promised the country with his body, Your Majesty has made a mission, and the minister will never give up!"

Emperor Taiding looked at Qiuyun and sighed silently in his heart, this old minister is also old, his hair has turned white, his palms are thin, alas, over the years, the famous ministers of Taiding Zhongxing have died, old and old.

"What can't die," Emperor Taiding pretended to be relaxed: "Get up, go to that school, kneel at every turn, get up, get up." ”

Qiuyun stood up again, and Emperor Taiding signaled slightly: "Bring an embroidery stool to Qiu Aiqing, let him sit down too, and let's have a good chat." ”

Xiaohuangmen brought an embroidery stool to Qiuyun, Qiuyun didn't dare to sit all the way, only sat on half of his buttocks, turned his head sideways and looked at Emperor Taiding, the monarch and the ministers were silently facing each other, Emperor Taiding spoke first: "A few years ago, you wrote that you sent troops to the Western Regions, I maybe, marching and fighting, this soldier and horse did not move the grain and grass first, we have no food." ”

Qiu Yun also sighed: "Xianbei is defeated, the opportunity is excellent, but it's a pity, if you win the Western Regions, you can repeat the power of the Wu Empire." ”

"It seems that this knot in your heart is still knotted," Emperor Taiding also sighed: "The affairs of the Western Regions are like this, let's finish our business, the future will be in the future, hmph, God knows." ”

Qiuyun didn't argue, just sighed long, just defeated Xianbei for two years, Xianbei was weak, the king of Shaoyang County was restructured, and the treasury had a slight surplus, so he proposed to send troops to the Western Regions, these years, the imperial court was financially embarrassed, and it was impossible to send troops to the Western Regions again.

"By the way, the strategy you proposed this time to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf is excellent! When Emperor Taiding said this, a layer of red tide appeared on his face, obviously a little excited, and he seemed to have returned to the time when he sat in the imperial capital, dispatched military forces, and conquered Xianbei.

"Your Majesty has a reputation," Qiu Yun sighed: "This strategy is a helpless move, the Tuoba tribe is bound to sit big after this battle, and the ministers are determined, in less than three years, Tuoba Xianbei will become a disaster for my Great Jin!"

Emperor Taiding didn't know about this harm, but he shook his head slightly in disapproval: "Three years, Aiqing, you are too pessimistic, the strength of the western Xianbei is not weak, the Tuoba tribe has a feud with it, the war is bound to be delayed, within three years, Tuoba Xianbei will not want to win, besides, I have issued an order to Duanmu Zheng, to Tuoba Xianbei to supply grain and grass, only this year, three years later, we will also ease up." ”

Qiuyun thought about it silently, but still didn't dare to agree in his heart, although the Xianbei people were cruel and easy to kill, but most of them were of the same species, once the western Xianbei realized the end of defeat, if they turned to the Tuoba tribe, the Tuoba tribe would have little loss, and its strength would be able to expand rapidly.

"Aiqing has returned to the dynasty, Liangzhou lacks a governor, and there is also a lack of a general, Aiqing thinks, who can succeed?"

Qiu Yun had already prepared for this question, and he replied confidently: "If you want to brave arrows, boost morale, and fight on the battlefield, Fang Da is the best, but if you want to make peace with the Liangzhou Shi clan and make the army not short of food, Duanmu Zheng can be competent, but Duanmu Zheng's disadvantage is that he has little qualifications, and it is difficult to convince Fang Da Ma Atletico to win." ”

Emperor Taiding's fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase, closed his eyes and thought silently for a moment before asking, "Why can't it be Atletico Madrid?"

"Because he is from Liangzhou. ”
