After talking to him for a while, Yunxi stood up and left. Geng Bingwen did not dare to stay as a guest, so he could only stand up and see him out of the house. Yunxi smiled and said: "No need, my dear, although you are still strong, you should also pay attention to the cold."
, there is no need to send it out. Just let Geng Xuan do it."
Geng Bingwen didn't show any pretense. He shied away once and stayed in the house, asking his eldest son Geng Xuan to take the emperor out of the house on his behalf. Geng Xuan agreed and accompanied Yunxi outside the house with his brothers.
"Geng Xuan, you are now the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and you have managed the Mansion in a very orderly manner for me, which has saved me a lot of worry." Yun Xi asked as he walked.
"Your Majesty, I am only acting in accordance with the rules in the Central Military Governor's Mansion." Geng Xuan said modestly.
"It's not easy to do things according to the rules." Yunxi sighed and said. Geng Xuan stood aside and said nothing.
Yunxi didn't intend to talk to him about this, and said: "Since I came to the throne, you have been doing errands in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Although the errands have been done well, I can't leave you, but you have been doing such errands. In the future,
Your name will not be in the history books. Since ancient times, the generals who commanded the soldiers in battles have been famous, such as Wei Huo and Er Li.
Who is the person in charge of the Taiwei Mansion or the Twelve Guards?"
"You are a member of my vassal, how can I not take care of you! So I have decided to send you to the northwest next year. Are you willing?"
"I will never disgrace my orders!" Geng Xuan immediately said loudly. The younger brothers behind him were also very happy to hear this.
Geng Xuan has long wanted to lead the army on an expedition, not only to leave his name in the history books in the future, but also out of practical considerations.
Although being in charge of an office like the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is considered a high-ranking position, the most intuitive place for a military general to show off his abilities is on the battlefield. Only by making meritorious deeds on the battlefield can one be famous and admired; if there is no military merit,
He couldn't sit still in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. He had already met many generals who had made great contributions on the battlefield. Perhaps it was his misunderstanding, but he always felt that these people looked down upon him.
And not only him, but several of his younger brothers have served in local positions, but they have never led troops on expeditions. If things continue like this, their family may fall into decline.
So he always wanted to lead troops to fight. But for some reason, Yunxi never let him go out to fight, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for it, so he has been wasting his time. Fortunately, the emperor finally remembered him. "I must fight well in this battle."
Show off, make military exploits, and let the emperor know that I still have some abilities.' He thought.
Okay, then I will wait for the good news from Aiqing." Yun He said with a smile.
Yunhe encouraged Geng Xuan a few more words, got up and got into the carriage, and went to the next mansion.
The next mansion we want to go to is the mansion of Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan. Zhu Yuanzhang successively made great achievements in the third year of Hongwu, the twelfth year of Hongwu, the seventeenth year of Hongwu and the twentieth year of Hongwu. Most of the princes and princes were
Cao Zhen, who was conferred the title in the past three years, is also the only one among the Spylords conferred in the 12th year of Hongwu who still exists today. His seniority is now second only to Geng Bingwen.
Going to Cao Zhen's mansion doesn't have to be so complicated. Cao Zhen's eldest son is in charge of two guards of the Shangzhi Guards, and his second son, Princess Shang, is now serving as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town. They are all very trusted errands, and he has nothing to do.
No need to pursue unnecessary pursuits, and enjoy retirement at home with peace of mind.
After going around a few more times and visiting all the remaining veterans, Yunxi ordered the carriage to drive to the Duke of Liang's Mansion. Although Lan Yu was granted the title of Duke very late, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang very early, so the location of the mansion is very convenient.
Well, it was still some time before the last veteran's mansion he visited.
Taking advantage of this little time, Yunxi sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to think. "This time we go to the northwest, should we let Li Xuhu and others go to the front line to fight? They are my vassal after all. If they are kept tied up in the capital,
Here, not only their reputation is not very good, but my reputation is also hindered. But, can they fight the war well?'
Geng Xuan and Li Xuhu were both ministers of the East Palace when he was still the emperor's grandson. They had different sentiments, so it was unreasonable not to reuse them. However, he had always doubted their standards, so he unintentionally dismissed them during the Annan War.
Ignored.
But recently he heard Qin Song's report and many people were talking about it, and he was shocked to realize that there were still two old East Palace ministers who had never fought in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. It would not be good to let them go like this, so he could only think of giving them to him.
They arranged a fight, but hesitated because they doubted their fighting skills.
After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind: 'That's all, let's arrange to be the deputy general of the Fifth Army. It can also be regarded as going out to fight.'
After thinking about it, Yunxi's expression returned to normal. At that moment, a voice came from outside the car: "Guan's house, two miles away is Liang Guogong's house." He lowered his head to look at Siqi, and saw her holding her head high.
The little head looked at itself.
"What? There's something wrong with uncle's face?" Yunxi said with a smile.
Si Qi shook his head and just said: "Although the emperor is the richest person in the world, he is also the busiest person."
"What does that say?"
"Siqi used to go back to live in his uncle's mansion. Although his uncle was also very busy, he would have nothing to do in the mansion every time he took holidays. But my uncle was still very busy even if he had holidays. On such a festive day as the New Year, he was very busy.
The civil and military officials in the court have rested, and the uncle only invites friends to drink sometimes, and is not as busy as the uncle. Also,..." Siqi put his chin in his hands and leaned on Yunxi's leg and said.
Yun He said in her heart that you haven't seen Grandpa Huang at work. That's called busy. She is far behind compared with him. But what she said is also true. There is probably no official in the world who is busier than him.
Is this of course! Daming is basically his now. Even if it is considered a joint-stock company, he has the largest number of shares. It is impossible for him to be a co-owner here and run his own sole proprietorship business there. Of course, he can only do his best to contribute to it.
Ming Dynasty planned it.
Yunxi didn't want to explain this to Siqi clearly, but when he lowered his head and saw her bright eyes, he also thought that people in ancient times basically matured earlier than modern children, and Siqi's life experience was unusual and serious.
This trend made me say, "This is natural."
"Compare it to a shop. This shop in Ming Dynasty belongs to my uncle's family, and my uncle is the boss. The ministers are just waiters. Of course, they will not work harder than the boss."
When he said this, Si Qi understood and said with a smile: "That's true. But who is the shopkeeper?"
"Well, although my uncle compared it to a shop, the imperial court is of course different from a shop. There is no shopkeeper." Yunxi hesitated and said.
He was very reluctant to answer questions related to this, and before Siqi could speak again, he said: "Siqi, you just said, 'I went back to live in my uncle's mansion in the past'. This is not appropriate."
"You are not married yet, and Duke Liang's mansion is your home, so this is your mansion, but you cannot return it to your uncle's mansion."
"Why, uncle, you don't want Si Qi anymore?" Siqi suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, Siqi has always regarded his aunt's palace as his home, and now he told Siqi that Liang Guogong's palace is his home, and he wants to send Siqi away.
Are you going back to Liang Guogong's mansion? What did Siqi do to make uncle unhappy? Or make aunt unhappy? "
"Oh, what do you mean?" Yunxi has always had nothing to do with little girls, whether they are daughters, adopted daughters or younger sisters. Hearing this, he was a little panicked: "Uncle doesn't mean that, but Lan Zhen is your uncle after all.
, you are also his biological niece, and we are part of the same family. You are not married now, so his family is your family. My uncle has no intention of letting you return to Liang Guogong's mansion."
Yunxi repeatedly comforted her, and the car had stopped dozens of feet away from the gate of Liang Guogong's palace. He still comforted Siqi, and then she calmed down and said: "Uncle promised Siqi that he would never send Siqi out of the palace.
"
"You certainly didn't know this when you were a child, but when you grow up, you can't be kept in the palace forever." Yunxi hesitated for a moment and said.
"I don't care, I will always live in the palace."
Seeing that Siqi was about to cry again, Yunxi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to be in the palace, you can always be in the palace."
Only then did Siqi burst into laughter. Yunxi wiped her face irritably, and then asked her to get out of the car and return to the Duke of Liang's Mansion accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs.
Seeing from a distance the servants of Duke Liang's palace surrounding her as they entered the palace, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the carriage back to the palace.
But at this moment, Song Qingshu suddenly came over and whispered in Yunxi's ear: "Your Majesty, that carriage over there belongs to the Puding Hou family."
"Puding Marquis Chen Huan? Why did he come to Lan Zhen?" Yunxi put down the curtain and sat in the carriage to think. It is said that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is very common for military generals to visit each other and it is not worth noting. But Chen Huan is of the same generation.
Military general, he was granted the hereditary title of Puding Marquis in the 17th year of Hongwu. Although the person who came to visit could not be Chen Huan himself - Yunxi saw him just now when he went to the Puding Marquis Mansion, but his eldest son was not there. It was probably Lan Zhen who came to visit.
His eldest son - but the two families were neither related nor familiar with each other in the past, so why did they send someone to visit so early?
"Let's check after we return to the palace." Yunxi, who couldn't think of anything after doing this, said to himself.
