Chapter 75
Concubine Lan said, "It's useless for my sister to have that high position. I just hope that my sister can still enjoy the glory after she succeeds."
Concubine Chang was happy, but she didn't show any of her face. She looked at each other and had a good idea. "My sister is afraid she hasn't seen my youngest son yet. It's better to come to my palace to sit in the future."
Concubine Lan agreed.
The queen didn't know that her own trick made Concubine Chang and Concubine Lan take the opportunity to join forces. If she knew about it, she would regret it. At this time, she was really uncomfortable. She almost couldn't get up all night and could not get up in the morning. However, it is not suitable to call the imperial physician. She asked Yuzhu to bring the pills to calm the spirit, and then continued to lie down and rest after taking it.
All these things in the palace have nothing to do with the Yongning Bo Mansion. When I was in court today, Emperor Cheng finally talked about the things in Shuzhong. In order to seem less guilty, he asked, "I just got the news last night. Why did Yongning Bo ask about the news in Shuzhong in the morning court yesterday? But Yongning Bo received the letter first?"
Chu Xiuming said respectfully, "I don't know why I am such a coincidence when I say something to you."
The word "coincidence" is very good. Most of the ministers in the court know the inside story and find it funny in their hearts. Could it be that Emperor Chengcheng really thinks it can be hidden? If the official in the capital really only knows the affairs of the capital, then this position may not be able to sit still. What's more, the arrogant attitude of the Duke Cheng's mansion makes people not know that there is something strange about it. As expected, it was correct to hold back at the Duke Cheng's family.
Emperor Cheng was guilty after all, so he said, "Your dear, you don't need to misunderstand me, I'm just sighing."
"I dare not." Chu Xiuming was respectful and his tone was calm, and he could not see the true emotions at that time.
Emperor Cheng didn't say anything anymore, and Chu Xiuming retreated to his position and stood in his position. He really felt as if he was standing out among a group of ministers.
Emperor Cheng said, "Those who rebel against the people and do not want to serve the country have done such a traitor. Which love is willing to quell the rebellious things for me?"
For a moment, the court was silent. They still remembered the situation when Chu Xiuming went to Fujian. They did not have the ability of Yongning Bo and the prestige of the Chu family among the soldiers. If they were asked to go, they would probably go without going back.
Emperor Cheng glanced at the ministers he promoted, but saw that they all lowered their heads and could not see their eyes at all. He felt depressed for a moment, and they were all useless talents. "There are less than a thousand people who rebel, but I have a million troops. At this time, those who quell the rebellion were granted the position of generals and lead 50,000 troops..."
Many people's eyes lit up now. If this were the case, it would be really not a hard work. It was simply a reward for giving credit. Several people couldn't help but look at Chu Xiuming secretly, and saw that there was no fluctuation on Chu Xiuming's face. When Emperor Cheng finished speaking, someone went up to ask for his order. Looking at the many ministers kneeling down to ask for battle, Emperor Cheng glanced at Chu Xiuming's eyes. Even without the Chu family, I could still sit firmly.
Emperor Cheng quickly selected the candidate, and even had the intention of cultivating military generals. He also selected many young talents to put them into the team, including the Prince of Yonglehou. Yonglehou was happy in his heart, thinking that it was just a military merit, which was a good thing for the Prince.
"Uncle Yongning is not feeling well, so let's take care of it during this period." Emperor Cheng said proudly.
"Yes." Chu Xiuming responded respectfully.
When Chu Xiuming returned to his house, his face looked normal, and even the personal guard didn't see anything. Instead, Chen Jin was being held outside by a maid, who was taking a walk while the sun was getting better. Looking at Chu Xiuming who had changed into regular clothes, he paused, thought for a while and said, "Husband, hug."
"How long have you been away today?" Chu Xiuming asked.
Chen Jin looked at Madam Zhao, and Madam Zhao said respectfully, "Madam has gone enough today and can go back to her room to rest."
"Husband!" Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming again. Chu Xiuming carefully picked up Chen Jin and let her sit on his arm, with his other hand wrapped around. Chen Jin moved his feet and said, "Let's go and see a little girl."
"Okay." Chu Xiuming responded.
Chen Jin asked embarrassedly, "Husband, am I heavy?"
"Not heavy." Chu Xiuming sighed slowly as he felt the little lady in his arms. This was not only her lady, but also his child.
This was the first time Chen Jin heard Chu Xiuming sigh, but he didn't ask anything. He talked about the things he used this morning. Xiao Budian heard their voices and had already come out. He wagged his tail and ran over. Chu Xiuming then put down Chen Jin, "Xiao Budian, do you miss me?"
"Aowu!" Xiao Budian rubbed Chen Jin's hand with his big dog's face.
Chu Xiuming said, "Get a comb."
"Yes." Someone immediately not only brought a comb, but also brought a chair. Chu Xiuming sat on a low stool to comb the little girl's hair, Chen Jin sat on the chair, and Anping also took a small blanket to cover her legs.
The little guy was very honest under Chu Xiuming's hands, so he raised his claws. However, the little eyes looked at Chen Jin with a grievance. It was much thinner than before Chu Xiuming came back, and the kitchen no longer gave it delicious big bones. Chen Jin kept laughing.
After Chu Xiuming cleaned up, the little hair became even more fluffy. Finally, he shook it and looked particularly beautiful. Chu Xiuming calmed down completely. The station maid said, "General, the meal is ready."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Let's go, husband."
Chu Xiuming nodded and patted Xiaobu's head. Chen Jin stood up with An Ning's hand and said, "Husband, go back to change clothes first, I'll walk back."
"Okay." Chu Xiuming also understood now. I'm afraid Chen Jin has a little less time to walk around every day. "Help your wife."
"Yes." An Ning and An Ping responded respectfully.
Chu Xiuming left. When Chen Jin walked back to the house slowly, he saw that Chu Xiuming had already changed into a regular dress and was cleaning his hands. Madam Zhao also prepared water for Chen Jin. An Ning served Chen Jin's hands. Anping went to the kitchen to help bring things over. Today, the kitchen prepared a small casserole, which was stewed with vegetables and crispy meat, which was most suitable for rice.
As soon as the meal was used up, someone sent a post to Chen Jin. After Chen Jin finished reading it, it was Chen Qi's, "Hey, sister, have something urgent to come to me?"
Chu Xiuming spoke, "I'm afraid it's for the Prince Yongle Hou."
Chen Jin nodded, looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Do you want to see me?" If you see me, Chen Jin will naturally lead the Prince Yongle Hou to meet you. If you don't see me, there will be a way to see me. Just insist that Chu Xiuming is not in the mansion.
Chu Xiuming said, "See."
Chen Jin responded and replied to Chen Qi. Chu Xiuming sent Chen Jin back to the room. This made Manager Zhao go to the study. Chen Jin felt that Chu Xiuming was very angry and didn't know who annoyed him. But anyway, it was not her. Chu Xiuming was actually the most revenge. After thinking about Chen Jin who could make a person like Chu Xiuming, I'm afraid he was really Emperor Cheng, but... even if he was sent to Fujian by Emperor Cheng, Chu Xiuming was not angry.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt, Chen Jin simply stopped making things difficult for him and gently touched his stomach.
In the study, Chu Xiuming told the arrangement that Emperor Cheng thought he was smart in the court. Manager Zhao's face changed and said, "This is simply a joke."
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, and the most angry time had passed. Thinking of his little wife's eyes, Chu Xiuming became much more peaceful. Manager Zhao was so angry that he walked around the house, "He arranged so many people to go over, who did the 50,000 soldiers listen to? There were so many princes and powerful men and even threw the prince in..."
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Manager Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "No one objected?"
"Fifty thousand and one thousand." Chu Xiuming said in a deep voice, "Even if the person who thinks it is inappropriate, he doesn't take these thousand people seriously."
Manager Zhao said, "Actually, this matter... is good for us." The 50,000 soldiers sent by Emperor Cheng were all his men. He just treated this matter as a training camp, but even so, Manager Zhao felt indescribable indignation, "What do they regard this as! Do they play house?"
Chu Xiuming didn't know how he could endure it. In addition to him, there were also some generals who had experienced wars to see it, so those people showed hesitation and did not take the initiative to ask for the order. Anyway, Emperor Cheng would not use them. I think that 50,000 to 1,000 will not be defeated as long as they are not fools.
"What do you think of the victory or defeat?" Manager Zhao looked at Chu Xiuming and asked.
Chu Xiuming prepared paper and pen and drew the general terrain in Shu. He remembered the entire map of Tianqi in his heart. The Chu family spent a lot of money on this map. I am afraid that the maps in the Emperor Cheng Palace are not as complete as theirs. "I don't know what the earth is going on, and I will send someone to measure it again at that time."
“是.”赵管事看着图并不觉得惊讶.
Chu Xiuming's paintings were rough, but the general situation was clear at a glance. "The situation in Shu is more complicated than in other places. Not only the terrain, but also... Is there really only a thousand people? Emperor Cheng thought he was self-righteous and concealed, but he has already made them more rooted. Relatives are connected to relatives, friends are connected to friends, and fellow towns are connected to each other... How many troops are there in Shu? These thousand people are no longer the thousand people they used to be."
Manager Zhao was shocked. He just felt angry that this battle would be a tragic victory, and many soldiers were sacrificed, but listening to Chu Xiuming's meaning, why did it look like...
Chu Xiuming spoke, "Even if I am, I can't tell you the victory or defeat, but I'm just seven points."
This seven-point was naturally defeated. Emperor Cheng has not yet established a crown prince. He finally had a chance to make meritorious contributions. How could these princes let them go? They would naturally show themselves and step on others.
Chu Xiuming continued, "What's more, there are no other things to do in this."
"General is worried, Ying..." Manager Zhao couldn't continue.
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything anymore, but he threw it into the charcoal basin with the map drawn. He looked at it burning, and then said, "Who knows."
Manager Zhao stopped talking. Now, in addition to being indignant, there was a little helplessness. Chu Xiuming closed his eyes and said, "But it is the people who suffer."
“将军……”赵管事看向楚修明.
楚修明摇摇头,不再说什么.
