Zong Wuqi finally understood at this time that He Shankuo suggested that he resign as the Minister of War as an ill. He was really confused. His butt was not even warmed up. He was going to resign? The He family wanted to take the responsibility on their own.

He Shankuo said: "No matter how the Da Yong Dynasty system changes, the morale of the military must be maintained, so Uncle Zong doesn't have to worry about being idle for too long."

Zong Wuqi clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"

After Zong Wuqi left, he said again: "Kuo'er, isn't this cruel to Zong Wuqi?"

He Shankuo shook his head and said, "The thing in front of him is the joint arrangement of the Empress Dowager and Sang Jingtian. His father has a high position and a heavy army. Even if he is loyal to Da Yong, the emperor's mind is unpredictable. Their most worry is the imbalance of power. If they think one side is big, they will immediately start to redistribute power. The Empress Dowager asked you to recommend the candidates for the six departments. On the surface, it is trusting you, but in fact it is using this matter to examine you."

He Dangzhong regretted and said, "If you don't avoid relatives, you will be a bad person. I've done something wrong."

He Shankuo said: "My father's original intention is correct. You also said at the beginning that all the candidates were drafted in advance by the empress dowager and asked for your opinions. Naturally, you will not say bad things about your subordinates. That is to say, the empress dowager has started to make arrangements since then. She is really not simple, has far-sightedness, and women rarely have such a long-term vision."

He Dangzhong said: "You reminded me at the beginning, but I don't agree."

He Shankuo smiled and said, "That's because my father has military power, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about the Queen Mother making a plan."

"Now that it has become like this, how can we break the deadlock?"

"The Queen Mother still dares not touch you. Looking at Da Yong, who else can shock the three armies besides you? The Queen Mother's behavior this time is to weaken your military power."

He Dangzhong sneered: "Imitation!"

He Shankuo said: "In the eyes of the empress dowager, Lu Buyao is a roadblock, Li Yifeng is a shield, you, Sang Jingtian, Chen Qiunian is her ideal core of power, Sang Jingtian should be the queen mother's own person, she has done so many things before to pave the way for Sang Jingtian, Chen Qiunian is the party she needs to unite. She wants to use Chen Qiunian to divide Lu Buyao's remaining influence and restrain Sang Jingtian, so she has formed a family with Chen Qiunian. As for you, she has to use it, but you are full of fear. This time it is just a test of you. My father can take this opportunity to release some irrelevant power and show her loyalty."

He Dangzhong narrowed his eyes and his cold eyes shot towards the gloomy sky like an arrow. His son said that one day he would no longer be so important to Dayong. When someone could replace him, he would be abandoned like a bad person. Lu Buyao is his lesson. Perhaps his fate was even worse than Lu Buyao.

He Shankuo said: "Has my father thought about how to give in?"

He Dangzhong said calmly: "Actually, it's not that difficult to take a step back."

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, before the New Year, several major events shocked the Da Yong Dynasty and the people of the Da Yong. The reason for the new Prime Minister Li Yifeng resigned as prime minister. He and the Taiwei He Dangzhong jointly recommended the Tai Shi Sang Jingtian as the prime minister to command all officials. At the same time, the Minister of War Zong Wuxue resigned due to illness, and the Minister of War was Liu Huanian.

The murderer was also arrested in the case of Ren Xiaocheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was a native of Jiangyuan Mansion. The reason for killing Ren Xiaocheng was that his daughter was forcibly occupied by Ren Xiaocheng's son Ren Jiaguang in the past and had always held a grudge. The murderer was taken by the Ministry of Justice and confessed to his crimes. Before he could interrogate him again, he chose to take drugs and commit suicide in prison.

After being imprisoned at Xiyumen for three days, Li Yuting finally regained his freedom. After learning that his freedom was exchanged for his father's phase, Li Yuting couldn't help but cry. If time could be repeated over, he would never choose to oppose Qin Lang.

Qin Lang had no sympathy or hatred for Li Yuting. In just a few days, the Xiyu Guard had grown to more than 100 people. This was the result of Chen Hupu's careful selection. The Yongzheng was in trouble and it was not easy to find an errand to eat imperial grain these days. Many of Chen Hupu's former comrades lived in a difficult situation after retiring from the army. The establishment of the Xiyu Guard could just help these brothers who had shared the joys and sorrows in the past.

On the day Li Yuting was released, Gu Xiefei rushed back from Chiyang. He did not expect that a total of earth-shaking changes would take place in just a few days. On the way, he had already heard that Sang Jingtian became the prime minister. After learning about this, Gu Xiefei knew that Qin Lang's crisis had been resolved. No matter what, Sang Jingtian was also Qin Lang's godfather.

Gu Xiefei rode the Black Wind and covered in dust to Xiyumen. The carriage from Baiyu Palace arrived almost at the same time. Seeing the appearance of Baiyu Palace, Gu Xiefei turned over and dismounted and greeted: "Your Highness, Princess!"

Baiyu Palace gave him a big roll of eyes, then entered Xiyu Gate with great momentum, shouting: "Qin Lang, come out for me!"

Qin Lang was indifferent when he heard the voice of Baiyu Palace. Chen Hutu, who was discussing with him about the Xiyu Guard organization, whispered: "The eldest princess is here."

Qin Lang nodded and said, "I know."

Chen Hutu said, "I'll go out to avoid it first, as if some of the visitors are not good."

Qin Lang laughed: "Brothers should share the joys and sorrows?"

Chen Hutu sighed and said, "I really can't help you in this matter." Chen Hutu walked out the door. Before he had time to open the door, Bai Yugong kicked the door open. Fortunately, Chen Hutu was agile, so he avoided the door that was patted at him, turned sideways and let Bai Yugong in, then walked out, and brought the door with him.

Qin Lang sat on the chair and looked at Bai Yugong whose little face was red: "What's wrong with your face?"

Bai Yugong said angrily: "I'm so worried!"

Qin Lang said: "The toilet is in the backyard, I'll take you there." He acted to get up, and Bai Yugong rushed up and kicked his chest, but he didn't have much strength. Qin Lang opened his hands: "Bai Yugong..."

"What do you call me?"

"General..."

"wrong!"

"aunt!"

Bai Yugong gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have a shameless nephew like you! Qin Lang, Qin Lang, do you still have me in your eyes? Where do you put me? I will set up my own business with me on my back, and I'm ungrateful dog stuff!"

Qin Lang sighed and said, "Can you find out the situation and then scold people? When did I carry you? How many things have happened in the past few days, how many troubles have I encountered? As my immediate boss, where are you when I need help the most?"

Bai Yugong said: "I...I'm sick..."

Qin Lang looked at her beautiful eyes that were clear to the end: "What disease?"

Bai Yu Palace blinked.

"Huh, you actually lie?"

Bai Yugong blushed: "I...I didn't lie...I...I...I have a stomachache..."

"Dysmenorrhea?"

Bai Yugong covered his face: "Shameless!" It was so embarrassing that he could say anything, but how did he know?

Qin Lang patted her right foot against her chest: "Can you please give me a high and expensive foot?"

Bai Yugong took a breath and put down his hands. His big eyes were shy and still not faded: "Then you can't set up your own business."

Qin Lang said: "Would you please tell me some reason? Take your feet away and I'll show you something."

Bai Yugong still insisted on it. Qin Lang grabbed her ankle. Bai Yugong screamed, and his body lost balance and leaned back. Before she fell to the ground, Qin Lang hugged her slender waist. The two of them looked at each other. Bai Yugong's face turned red and his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of her chest.

Qin Lang said: "If you are really suffocating, I'd better take you there first."

"Get out! I'm so angry by you!"

Bai Yugong pushed Qin Lang away and went to the chair he sat down just now. His butt was very warm and comfortable. After all, Qin Lang had been feeling for a long time.

Qin Lang went to find the secret decree and handed it to Baiyu Palace for a look. After reading it, his anger subsided: "So this Xiyu Guard belongs to Tiance Mansion?"

Qin Lang nodded: "Of course, I am still your subordinate. Think about it, you, the general of the Tiance Mansion, are actually a commander who is barely. We finally seized an opportunity to recruit soldiers and have subordinates whom we can dispatch. Would you like to miss it?"

Bai Yugong shook his head: "Of course you can't miss it, but you should tell me in advance no matter how you want to tell me, there will definitely be a way."

Qin Lang said: "Have you asked Lu Xingqiao and Qiu Yucheng to join Tiance Mansion to discuss with me?"

Bai Yugong stopped asking in one sentence. Seeing Qin Lang's pride, Bai Yugong realized that he was almost convinced by him. She immediately shook her head and said, "No, I am your boss, of course I don't need to discuss with you. You must discuss with me when doing things. Your behavior of taking action first and then reporting is betrayal! I hate others betray me the most!"

Qin Lang put away the secret decree: "Just put your little care in your stomach, I will never betray you."

Bai Yugong couldn't help laughing: "Are you showing your loyalty to me?"

"What do you like to think about it."

Bai Yugong said: "Xiyuwei, it's not bad! Take me around."

Qin Lang took her out and saw Gu Xiefei, who was covered in dust. Gu Xiefei shook his head helplessly, and ran back from Chiyang all the way, without even having to say anything to him.

Qin Lang said: "Brother Gu, is things going well?"

Gu Xiefei nodded.

Qin Lang came near him and gave him a handful of golden leaves: "Find a place to take a shower first, relax, I'll invite you to drink tonight."

Gu Xie was smiling, but his brother understood me. He hugged his fists and said goodbye, swaying his sleeves, and headed straight for the slim moon street.

Bai Yu Palace followed Qin Lang around Xiyu Gate, feeling pretty good. His resentment towards Qin Lang had been swept away and he whispered: "How many people are there now?"

"There are 113 people, and the staff is 500, so the personnel are still being recruited. This matter is mainly handled by Brother Chen. We will select all elites based on the principle of preferring to be insignificant than to be insignificant."

"Not bad, not bad!" Bai Yugong praised.

Qin Lang said: "Although the Xiyu Guards obey your orders, I will declare one thing in advance."

Bai Yugong said: "Say!"

"I don't want Lu Xingqiao and the others to intervene in the matter here. I am fully responsible and report directly to you that other people in the Tiance Mansion have no right to interfere in the matter of Xiyuwei."

Bai Yugong said: "You seem to be very wary of Uncle Lu."

Qin Lang said: "It seems that you are turning a blind eye to the things outside the window. You don't know at all what happened these days."

Bai Yugong said embarrassedly: "I'm sick..." He lacked confidence and Qin Lang knew the truth. He really couldn't figure it out. How could he know it?

Qin Lang simply said the grudge between him and Qiu Yucheng. There is nothing to hide. After hearing this, Bai Yugong suddenly felt guilty and lowered his head and said, "It's me that I'm sorry for you. I really don't know my senior brother... No, then Qiu Yucheng has an old grudge with you, I will drive him out of Tiance Mansion immediately."

Qin Lang shook his head and said, "No, he and I have already talked to each other. He doesn't dare to act rashly now. You don't need to say anything. I want to see what his real purpose is for coming here?"

Bai Yugong said: "He came with Uncle Lu. Qin Lang, I think you have a prejudice against Uncle Lu. If he hadn't helped me, I might have died long ago."

Qin Lang thought to himself that the Uncle Lu in your eyes is just a fake, and he smiled and said, "Maybe it is because I don't like Jiuyou Sect."

Bai Yugong said, "I promise that as long as I live, I will never let Jiuyou Sect hurt you..." After pausing, he added, "I will never let anyone hurt you." After saying that, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the carriage outside like wind: "I'm leaving!" In fact, he didn't want to leave, but was just afraid that Qin Lang would see the shyness on his face.

Qin Lang screamed: "Let's go after dinner!"

Dinner was in Jinyuan, Gu Xiefei bathed and changed his clothes and appeared in Jinyuan with a bright look. Chen Hu was cooking and cooking, Long Xixi took his maid to prepare tableware in the flower hall, Wang Houting helped Qin Lang repair the old ship in the backyard, and Qin Lang nailed the iron coupon of the alchemy book onto the ship again.

Lu Buyao walked in through the open small door with Zhao Changqing. Originally, Lu Buyao didn't want to participate, but Qin Lang insisted that Zhao Changqing invite him.

Lu Buyao came to the bow of the boat and looked at the iron voucher of the alchemy book, stroked his beard and smiled, "Do you know what it means?"

Qin Lang handed over the unfinished work to Wang Houting and saluted Lu Buyao: "Lu Gong, this is the iron coupon of the alchemy book given to me by the emperor."

Lu Buyao said: "In the past, there were seven sides, but now there is only one side of you. This iron voucher for the alchemy book can save your life."

Zhao Changqing said: "Then He Shanming cut off the iron voucher of the alchemy book, damaged the holy objects, and deceived the emperor. He should be killed according to the law. Now he can get away with the law."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "The law is nothing more than human feelings."

Zhao Changqing looked at Qin Lang with some confusion: "What do you mean by this sentence?"
