Vice General Jin came to Chang Kuo's residence and was stopped by Chang Ren without any surprise: "...the general is meeting guests at this time."
Vice General Jin smiled kindly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll just wait!"
As he said that, he consciously walked to the corridor on one side. As he got closer, he saw, okay, there were quite a few people standing on the corridor!
Not to mention his familiar comrades, who share his character and want to watch the excitement written on their faces, but... why is Wang Changshi standing here?
Facing Vice General Jin's confused eyes, Wang Changshi stroked his beard calmly.
Hearing that General Chang had woken up and had such a great victory today, it was reasonable for him to come to visit.
Furthermore, even if we take a step back, he is the chief of the governor's office. He is in charge of the internal affairs of the governor's office. He is the first official of the governor... He is in charge of his political affairs. He should be concerned about it.
The governor's father's personal affairs are also a sign of competence.
When such an important guest came to the house, he was not allowed to make arrangements to entertain him? How could he entertain him without coming over to understand the situation in person?
Although the suspicion of Wang Changshi taking advantage of public affairs for personal gain was serious, Vice Admiral Jin knew that he was not clean either, so he swallowed his words with a look and silently chose a position to stand.
However, not long after, another person came to "ask to see the general"——
Vice General Jin took a closer look and felt that it was outrageous... No, why is Lao Kang here too?
Lao Kang was captured by the Japanese army and had one of his hands chopped off. Later, he followed Chang Kuo back to the Governor's Mansion to recuperate from his injuries. Now his bare wrist is still wrapped with a thick wound cloth.
But this didn't stop him from coming in the snow late at night, and then stopped on the porch.
Several generals took the tone of "I have nothing to do, why not say something casually" and guessed the identity of the visitor named Rong in the room.
"Guest named Rong" was very anxious at the moment.
Sensing that there were more and more people standing outside, the eldest princess Xuan'an frowned: "...how can you, the people in the governor's office of Jiangdu, do such good things?"
"What's this?" Chang Kuo stood talking without pain in his back, and even felt a little gloating: "You have to be lucky that Sui Ning has not returned. If those people under her also come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to squeeze out today."
Then he said: "Who asked you to come here so arrogantly, and you even summoned people in a decent manner? It's this late at night, didn't you clearly invite people to come and watch the fun?"
As Chang Kuo spoke, he asked cautiously: "You poisonous woman, are you not deliberately trying to ruin my reputation?"
"Bah." The eldest princess of Xuan'an said angrily: "How much reputation do you have for me to ruin it myself? If I don't let people know, how can I get into this heavily guarded place of yours?
The Governor's Mansion?"
"If I had known you were not dead, I wouldn't have had to make this trip in vain!"
Chang Kuo stared: "Even if I die, it won't be your turn to collect my body!"
"How can this be done?" Princess Xuan'an said with a smile but not a smile: "Not only do I want to collect your body, but I also want to give you a grand show, otherwise how can we call it reciprocity?"
Back then, she just asked him to take the child away, but he turned around and held a huge funeral ceremony for "her"!
She was so stunned by the curse that she had a headache for several days. She couldn't even take a bite of food. The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt!
She asked Yao Jin to go to the capital to question him, but he said something strangely - "I just want to give my child a decent status, what's wrong with me?"
So at this moment, the two of them started to quarrel over old accounts again.
"...You didn't want your son in the first place, why are you pretending to be a loving mother now?"
"I don't want the flesh that fell off my body? Don't you know why I couldn't keep him in the first place? Don't be obedient just to get an advantage!"
"I worked hard to raise my son all by myself, but you can tell me how much I got it cheap!"
Princess Xuan'an was about to say more, but she saw Chang Kuo covering his chest and coughing violently, and his originally sallow face turned red from the coughing.
The arrogance of the eldest princess suddenly disappeared: "I'm too lazy to argue with you..."
She stood up from the chair and looked at Chang Kuo, who was sitting there and had lost a lot of weight. Only then did a hint of unnoticeable worry appear in her eyebrows: "Your legs... what did the doctor say?"
"You still know how to ask about my legs!" Chang Kuo coughed, his voice a little hoarse: "What else can I do? I injured my thigh bone, the new injury is superimposed on the old one, and it's useless!"
"Why is it useless!" The eldest princess frowned and said, "I'll let Doctor Guan take a look later. I've brought him with me. We can enter Jiangdu City tomorrow afternoon."
As he said that, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it on Chang Kuo's couch: "Before Doctor Guan comes, if the pain is severe, just eat this first."
Chang Kuo knows best who Dr. Guan is, who has been raised in Princess Xuan'an's house for many years.
Over the years, Dr. Guan often came up with new medicines to treat his leg problems.
Thinking about this, Chang Kuo's tone became more friendly. He picked up the porcelain bottle and muttered a question: "...We came together, why did we arrive in two ways?"
The eldest princess did not answer.
Chang Kuo suddenly realized something and turned to look at her.
Oh, she was in a hurry... and left Doctor Guan behind, right?
Being stared at by Chang Kuo like this, the eldest princess felt uncomfortable all over. At this moment, she couldn't stay here no matter how much swords and fire were outside.
Seeing her grabbing Mi Li and turning around to walk out, Chang Kuo hurriedly asked: "Wait...how did you get here?"
The eldest princess of Xuan'an stopped at her feet: "Ride a horse!"
"It's tiring to ride a horse..." Chang Kuo said, "Then let's rest at home for a few days."
Added another sentence: "So that the horses can rest."
"..." Princess Xuan'an's face turned dark as she had just calmed down, and she walked out quickly.
Seeing her angrily walking out, Chang Kuo laughed twice in relief.
Then, he poured out two pills from the porcelain bottle and stuffed them into his mouth. His face suddenly became bitter and his facial features wrinkled up - this woman wanted to torture him to death, right?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Here, as soon as the eldest princess Xuan'an walked out, more than ten pairs of eyes looked towards her.
Even though the eldest princess was always calm and composed, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
But her aura was here, and she was wearing a power barrier, so there was nothing unusual about her appearance. Facing the generals who saluted her, she could still nod her head calmly.
Although she didn't say anything, her temperament was enough to tell people that she was unusual at a glance... This kind of demeanor could never be that of an ordinary woman.
Lao Kang took a closer look, looked at the back, hissed slightly, and whispered to himself: "Why does it look a bit like that..."
That one?
Which one?
Vice General Jin wished he could turn into a hurricane and knock down the power fence so that he could see his true appearance.
Seeing the person walking further and further away, and Wang Changshi followed him directly based on his identity, Deputy General Jin could only ask Lao Kang for information.
Lao Kang, on the other hand, had a stern look on his face. He only waved his hand towards Vice General Jin and left with the secret in his mouth. He never mentioned going in to visit the general again.
Vice Admiral Jin: "..." Damn it, you are carrying such a big secret and not sharing it with others. How can you sleep?
After Deputy General Jin walked around for a few steps, he simply left.
He was afraid that when he went in and saw the general, the general would think about the jade pendant and take it back!
This jade pendant is the only capital he has in this secret matter!
Vice Admiral Jin subconsciously wanted to cover his face a little longer.
At this moment, Wang Changshi had already noticed the identity of Princess Xuan'an.
He has never met the eldest princess, but he has seen Yaojin - when Chang Sui Ning first took office, Yaojin came here on behalf of the eldest princess Xuan'an's mansion to send congratulatory gifts and discuss business matters.
.
Wang Changshi was deeply impressed by Yaojin. After all, he was both a gold mountain and a creditor.
"This is the eldest princess of my family." I had the eldest princess's approval beforehand. Now I realized that the chief historian had already made some guesses, so I no longer concealed the money.
Wang Changshi's eyes lit up, "It's true!"
Today is such a good day, double happiness, seeing the living golden mountain!
Facing this big creditor, Wang Changshi's attitude was very polite. He stopped and saluted repeatedly.
"You don't need to be polite, Chang Shi." Princess Xuan'an said, "I just came here to take a look at that homeless monkey. I didn't intend to disturb too many people."
The implication was that this was just a passing trip to see his daughter coming to see Chang Kuo. It also meant that this trip should not be publicized.
Wang Changshi immediately understood: "Yes, I understand."
Wang Changshi quickly arranged the eldest princess's residence in the mansion. After that, he privately asked Yaojin about the eldest princess's dietary preferences and so on.
Yao Jin gave a rough answer and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness said that your government is busy with things, so you don't need to worry too much about it. We can arrange the rest by ourselves."
Wang Changshi agreed on the surface, but he didn't dare to think so in his heart. If he didn't entertain such an important guest well, wouldn't it be too rude for the governor of Jiangdu?
On the way back, Wang Changshi was still thinking about this matter. Food and daily living, these are the most basic and do not reflect much of the sincerity of the Governor's Mansion in hospitality...
Then, Wang Changshi suddenly thought of something and nodded with satisfaction.
Perhaps, he should ask for a few good-looking, clean and innocent men of the right age to come and serve the distinguished guests...
I just don’t know which one Princess Xuan’an prefers?
For this reason, Wang Changshi tossed and turned all night long. In the first half of the night, he took his wife, who was about the same age as the eldest princess Xuan'an, together and asked: "If you were a wife, what kind of man would you like to see more?"
Wang Changshi answered seriously, and said three or four kinds of things reservedly, but none of them were related to Wang Changshi himself. Wang Changshi was so angry that he turned his back and remained depressed all night.
The snow fell heavily all night long, and when I woke up the next day, I saw that the sky and the earth, as well as the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River, had become one white.
When the seventh good news was delivered to the capital by fast horse, it also brought the heavy snow in the south with it.
The capital was colder than Jiangdu. During the morning court, many charcoal basins were placed in the main hall for warmth.
The seventh good news sent back from Jiangdu was read loudly by the chamberlain and reached the ears of every minister.
This is undoubtedly great news. Firstly, the Japanese army has finally been completely defeated, and the sea will usher in long-term peace. Secondly, they finally no longer have to listen to the eighth and ninth victory reports from Chang Sui Ning...
…
During this period, every time they went to court in the morning, they had to be dominated by the good news for at least a quarter of an hour. For officials who had previously been negative about the anti-Japanese war, the feeling was really hard to describe.
Now that the battle is over, leaving aside those personal emotions, the atmosphere in the court is still very warm.
If nothing else, this should be the biggest piece of good news they could hear before the Chinese New Year.
This good news is like a timely medicine, soothing the hearts of people in the court who are restless due to frequent wars.
Among the officials, there was not a single word of criticism, explicit or implicit, against the marshal who fought against the Japanese.
Even if some civil servants heard that the Japanese army was almost wiped out and were a little frightened by her "too serious intention to kill", they were absolutely clear that the benefits of this kind of killing far outweighed the disadvantages at the moment.
.
Some officials began to re-examine Chang Sui Ning in their hearts.
This time Chang Kuo almost lost his life at the hands of Maro Fujiwara. After that, she alone took charge of the overall situation. This time no one can say that she relied on her father's protection and planning to win this battle.
This woman is truly something that cannot be underestimated.
And the good news said that, accompanied by the new leader of Dongluo, she had gone to Japan to discuss the terms of peace talks in person——
Such a winner's posture certainly reveals an arrogant and majestic air, but she represents Dasheng, and today's Dasheng needs such a winner's posture to show off its power in foreign lands.
As a result, her arrogance, which was most easily criticized in the past, now became reasonable and reasonable, and no one could use it to accuse her at all, at least for now.
Now, the only thing they need to consider is what kind of reward can be enough to match her extraordinary achievements. And after the reward is given, she will become even more difficult to control...
But at the same time, they knew very well that the more turbulent the situation, the less stingy they could be in rewarding military generals for their merits. Otherwise, who would be willing to rush to the battlefield to serve the imperial court?
The Holy Emperor is also thinking about this issue.
She was not in a hurry to discuss the matter with the ministers. Ashang had not yet returned to Jiangdu, so the reward was not urgent. Although Huang Shuiyang's great victory against the Japanese was gratifying, there were two other extremely important matters before her at this moment.
of war.
The first is that the Korean Gong Li Xian came to Jingzhou to resist Bian Chunliang.
The second is that Kangdingshan colluded with Mohe to rebel and forced Youzhou into trouble...
Jingzhou and Youzhou are both vital barriers. If either of them is broken, it will be a huge disaster.
Just as they were concerned about Xu Zhengye's rebellion last New Year's Eve, officials in Beijing are still destined to spend this New Year's Day in a hectic state, even worse than last year.
It can also be seen from the epitome that most of the officials are haggard and tired. One year has passed and the situation in Dasheng has become worse.
But the things that should be done still need to be done one by one, such as sending envoys to Dongluo to congratulate the new king of Dongluo on his accession to the throne, to show Dasheng's magnanimity of disregarding past grudges, and to further investigate Dongluo's attitude and discuss the future relationship between the two countries.
This is a very necessary means of diplomatic relations in the current situation.
Concerning the candidate for the envoy, Grand Tutor Chu gave the best suggestion - Wei Shuyi, the Minister of Dongtai.
