Zhang Yanling is planting flowers in the back garden. After the small building is built, the inside and outside are being decorated. The surrounding landscape is also being arranged.
Xu Wanyi said that she wanted to plant some flowers in the front and back flower beds, so she ordered people to go to various places in the city to buy many precious varieties to plant. Xu Wanyi was already pregnant in Liujia, but she had to do it herself for this kind of flowers.
This frightened everyone.
Everyone's earnest persuasion ended with Zhang Yanling taking action herself, with Xu Wanyi accompanying and guiding her.
While Zhang Yanling was digging the soil to plant flowers, Xu Wanyi stood beside her with her hands on her hips and her stomach raised like an evil bitch overseeing the work. She pointed at her from time to time. Zhang Yanling didn't think that there was much particularity to this kind of flower, so you could just plant it casually.
There are so many ways to match height and height, and the color should not be monotonous after blooming, etc. But Xu Wanyi has a lot of ideas.
There seemed to be a jigsaw puzzle in her mind, as if she knew exactly what these flowers and plants would look like when they grew up. Moreover, the jigsaw puzzle in her mind seemed to be constantly changing, and her ideas became faster. She blinked and thought about the flowers she had just planted.
When the flowers grew out of harmony, they immediately asked Zhang Yanling to dig them out and replant them.
She enjoyed it endlessly, but Zhang Yanling was tortured miserably. The dignified Marquis was being ordered around, and if there was a slight difference, Xu Wanyi would hold her stomach and frown as if in pain, and then Zhang Yanling could only obey his orders obediently.
Zhang Yanling couldn't help but suspect that Xu Wanyi wanted to help her grow flowers just because she wanted to torment herself. It was said that since she became pregnant, she has become increasingly uncomfortable and has a weird temper. Perhaps torturing herself is also a way for her to vent her emotions.
But Zhang Yanling actually doesn't care too much. Although he can't enjoy it, if it can make Xu Wanyi feel better, it doesn't hurt to be tortured. During this period, Xu Wanyi felt nauseous while eating and struggled to walk with a big belly.
Such a look, the fairy-like beauty turned into a yellow-faced woman, Zhang Yanling felt heartbroken.
When a huge fuchsia tree was finally planted after three moves, Zhang Yanling saw Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo and his son coming from the gate of the garden.
"Dad, brother, why are you here?" Xu Wanyi came forward in surprise.
"Wan Yi, be careful and don't walk so fast. You guys won't come to support me. What should I do if I fall and spray?" Xu Guangzuo said hurriedly.
Several maids rushed forward to help. Xu Wanyi said: "I'm fine, why did I fall? I was too careful."
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said, "Don't be willful. Why don't you stay in the house and rest instead of running around? Your mother will scold you if she finds out."
Xu Wanyi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "But please don't tell me that you will come here every three days and keep nagging me. I'm afraid of my mother."
Xu Guangzuo glared at her and turned to Zhang Yanling who was walking towards him.
"Father-in-law, brother, why are you here? Why didn't anyone tell me so that I could go and greet you?" Zhang Yanling bowed his hands and saluted.
Xu Guangzuo looked at Zhang Yanling and saw that he had his trousers and sleeves rolled up, his feet were covered with mud, and beads of sweat were shining on his forehead. He smiled and said, "Yanling, have you become a gardener? It's a very leisurely life."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said, "It's too late. If you have to plant flowers by yourself, if I don't help her, she will have to dig the soil by herself. Others won't help her, so she has to ask me to help her."
Xu Wanyi glared at Feng Ming and said, "What? My husband is not willing to do this?"
Zhang Yanling said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, of course I do it willingly. As the saying goes, 'Study poetry and learn etiquette well, you can live in poverty by planting flowers and bamboos.' The joy of planting flowers can be obtained today."
Xu Wanyi covered her mouth and giggled. Mr. An Dao was not so boring sometimes, and he could speak well.
"You clean up, I have something to tell you." Xu Guangzuo said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling sensed something was going on from Xu Guangzuo's expression and agreed.
…
"What? My husband is going to fight a rebellion? Dad, how can you agree to let your husband do such a thing?"
In the main room of the back house, after listening to Xu Guangzuo conveying the results of the discussion that the emperor had convened not long ago, Xu Wanyi stood up with a red face and asked loudly.
Xu Yande frowned and said, "Sister, why are you talking to daddy?"
Xu Wanyi said angrily: "Am I wrong? How can I let my husband do such a thing? It's like going to war. It will be dangerous."
Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "Wanyi, do you think dad is willing? It's not that your husband said big things before. Your husband bragged in front of the emperor and everyone, saying that he could put down the rebellion with 10,000 elite soldiers in ten days. This is terrible.
Okay, someone is thinking about you. It's not his turn this time. Do you think I'm willing to let him go? If you're angry, I'm still angry."
Xu Wanyi turned around and looked at Zhang Yanling in a daze. Zhang Yanling was holding a teacup and frowning in a daze.
Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "Yanling, if you are unwilling to go to quell the rebellion, it is still too late. The imperial edict has not yet been issued, and everything has not been finalized. I am here to inform you of this matter. If you are unwilling, I will accompany you.
Just go to the emperor and ask the court to send someone else to quell the rebellion. There is no need to be unhappy because of it."
Zhang Yanling put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has misunderstood, and I am not unhappy because of it. How can I shirk this matter? This is a major matter for the imperial court to quell rebellion. If I shirk it, what will the emperor think of me? How can I gain a foothold in the future?"
Xu Guangzuo nodded and said: "That's right. I have also considered this. Hey, if Liu Jin hadn't asked you to go, this thing wouldn't have happened. I and the British father are both opposed to it. Li Dongyang is also opposed to it.
of.
But... the emperor agreed to Liu Jin's proposal. If I tried my best to oppose it, it would be like protecting my shortcomings. I wonder what Liu Jin'an's intentions were? It would have been better if you had not said such big words that day. It was not your turn to suppress the rebellion.
of."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "My father-in-law has no confidence in my son-in-law. What I said that day was not a lie. My son-in-law has this confidence. It's a pity that at that time you all thought that my son-in-law was bragging. If you had trusted me at that time
, let me lead the army to go out. How could Cao Xiong be defeated?"
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said: "Yanling, don't blame me for not reminding you. Cao Xiong was defeated and died, and Lingzhou may be in danger. The rebels' morale has been high after this battle, and the situation is different. If you decide to lead the army, you must not be blindly arrogant.
Acting rashly. This is a war, not a joke."
Xu Yande also said: "Brother-in-law, I don't want my sister to become a widow at a young age. You have to take it easy."
Xu Wanyi said angrily: "Brother, what unlucky words did you say? You haven't even set off yet, and you're saying these?"
Xu Yande hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was so talkative. Bah, bah, bah. What I meant was to remind my brother-in-law to be careful. By the way, brother-in-law, why would Liu Jin recommend you? I don't think he has good intentions.
.Something feels wrong.”
Xu Guangzuo said: "I don't think it's a big deal. Liu Jin may really think that Yanling has this ability. Liu Jin is now more eager than anyone else to hope that the rebellion will be put down. After all, it was caused by him cleaning up the military camp. Although the emperor said so
If you don't tell me, wouldn't you blame him for being reckless? I even suspect that it was Cao Xiong's idea to march rashly."
Zhang Yanling said nothing and quickly thought about the whole incident. To be honest, what happened now was not what Zhang Yanling expected.
The purpose of his plan to have Qian Ning whisper in Liu Jin's ear that day was to let Liu Jin know that the counter-insurgency could not be delayed, otherwise it would be detrimental to him.
Zhang Yanling's purpose in doing this was to hope that Liu Jin would understand that the agreed strategy of suspending the counter-insurgency was a so-called conspiracy. In this way, Liu Jin would actively promote and persuade Zhu Houzhao to immediately counter-insurgency.
Zhang Yanling specifically asked Zhang Yong to tell Qian Ning and asked Qian Ning to suggest that Liu Jin simply let Zhang Yanling lead the expedition. Anyway, he boasted that if the counterinsurgency failed in Haikou, Zhang Yanling would be responsible for it.
That night, Zhang Yanling actually went to the palace to meet Zhu Houzhao and asked Zhu Houzhao to allow him to lead the army to suppress the rebellion. However, Zhu Houzhao did not agree. This was somewhat beyond Zhang Yanling's expectation.
In Zhang Yanling's plan, when Liu Jin realized that the rebellion must be put down quickly, he would definitely go to Zhu Houzhao to persuade him to put down the rebellion immediately. If he took the initiative to ask for help, he would be playing into Zhu Houzhao's hands. Liu Jin should also agree with Qian Ning's suggestion and simply let himself
If you lead an army to quell the rebellion, you will have achieved your goal.
However, the reality did not go as Zhang Yanling imagined, but went to some extreme.
Cao Xiong's defeat was shocking. Zhang Yanling knew without even thinking that it was Liu Jin who asked Cao Xiong to do this. That is to say, after Qian Ning disclosed the information to Liu Jin, Liu Jin would have misunderstood, or perhaps
He was so bold that he let Cao Xiong attack without permission from the court. This was definitely not the result Zhang Yanling wanted to see.
Zhang Yanling was not so low-spirited as to sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers to counter the overall rebellion to achieve his personal goals.
Zhang Yanling wanted to lead the army on the expedition simply because he hoped to seize this easy achievement and at the same time give his Zhenwei Battalion a chance to fight in actual combat.
The rebellion of King Anhua was just a small splash in the Zhengde Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. The whole rebellion subsided in just ten days. It did not cause any huge waves at all. Zhang Yanling knew this history, he just wanted to take advantage of the prophecy of the time travellers.
With his ability, he can easily get this credit into his hands.
However, who would have thought that things would actually come to this point.
Zhang Yanling even had some doubts as to whether Qian Ning was secretly adding fuel to Liu Jin's eyes and bringing in some private goods. That was why Liu Jin had a huge misunderstanding, making the matter somewhat complicated.
Now, Liu Jin finally recommended him to counter the rebellion. He probably felt that he had been fooled by him, deceived by him, and made a big mistake. So he decided to let himself clean up the mess. If he succeeded in countering the rebellion, it would be him.
The desired result, because he knew that the rebellion could not get any bigger, which would put him in an extremely disadvantageous situation. If he failed, he would be punished. Liu Jin also achieved his purpose of revenge.
Liu Jin's recommendation of himself was actually a clear indication. Liu Jin conveyed a message to himself through this matter. He had understood his previous tricks and he was going to fight back. His counterattack method was to drag himself into the water and make himself
Share the risk of the rebellion getting out of control and not leave yourself out of it.
At the same time, this also shows that he is no longer worried about his own small actions, because he will send people to keep an eye on him. Gu Da's supervision of the army is his means of control. Every move he makes will be recorded and reported.
Therefore, the whole matter has actually gone astray. Liu Jin already felt that he had designed all this and deceived him, leading to the current results. But originally he just wanted to easily use the time traveler's prophet to seize the opportunity.
The purpose of the rebellion seems to be in vain, because the situation at this moment is different from before. With Cao Xiong's defeat, the situation is very bad. It is obvious that this rebellion cannot be easily eliminated.
Now that I have been recommended to counter the rebellion, I actually picked up a hot sweet potato, held it with my hand, and ate it with my mouth.
