Chapter 192 Lead the troops to thank the leader Sofia Ruobing
Marquis Anyi returned to his mansion, and today he achieved a great victory in the court. It was the first time that the Zhang family suffered such a big fall since the emperor ascended the throne.
Hong Chuanting smiled from ear to ear and kept talking as he came down from the court: "That Zhang Yuci usually stands in the court with a smile on his face, but today he can't smile anymore."
Speaking of Zhang Yuci, Marquis An Yi said: "Uncle Guo did not say anything, but he was thinking in his heart. He must be more careful in the future and not let down his guard after winning a game."
Hong Chuanting nodded.
An Yihou immediately thought of Changzhou: "The emperor should send you a message soon to discuss the candidates to go to Changzhou. Changzhou has always been controlled by the Zhang family. Have you decided who should go?"
Anyone who goes may face danger. On the surface, the Zhang family is no longer struggling, but they will never give up. As long as the situation regarding the White Dragon King is reversed, the Zhang family can still find ways to let Zhang Yucong escape, so no matter who goes
Changzhou is extremely dangerous.
Hong Chuanting thought for a moment and said: "Although there are many officials in the Zhou Dynasty who are good at water warfare, I am not worried. Although there is Xue Chen in Quanzhou, too many people in Quanzhou have been mobilized rashly. I am afraid that someone will take advantage of it and undermine the stability of Quanzhou.
It’s also very important, so I think it’s better to let Song Chengxuan lead the troops there.”
Anyihou stopped.
Hong Chuanting noticed that An Yihou was acting strangely and couldn't help but turned to look at him: "What? You don't agree? Even though Song Chengxuan is still young, he is no worse than you in leading troops. Only with him can I feel at ease."
An Yihou's eyes darkened slightly: "Have you discussed it with him? Is he willing to go?"
Hong Chuanting said: "I haven't said it yet, but this guy should not offend me. He should also know the dangers involved. Now is the time to make contributions..."
"Don't force others to make things difficult for them," An Yihou suddenly interrupted Hong Chuanting. "Although they are well-trained in literature and martial arts, they are rich and the emperor's family is based in the southeast. There are really Japanese invaders this time. As long as they can defend Quanzhou, they will have established a solid foundation."
If you have done great work, why go to Changzhou and take risks?"
Hong Chuanting was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have been away from the battlefield for a long time and have lost your ambition? Are you still the desperate Saburo you used to be?"
Seeing An Yihou's solemn expression, Hong Chuanting's smile gradually faded: "Is what you said true?"
Marquis An Yi said: "You and I have been dealing with the Zhang family for many years, and you don't know how many people have been lost. This time the Zhang family used such methods, we should be alert. The Zhang family has targeted it."
There will definitely be revenge, so why involve too many people.
Today I also understood that the emperor already knew that the Zhang family was the dominant one and could not continue like this, so he used this incident to punish the Zhang family. Although we won a small victory, in the long run the Zhang family is the Queen Mother's natal family. Win or lose.
It doesn't matter if we get rid of the Zhang family, the emperor will kill the donkey to appease the queen mother. As long as the power of the government is involved, it will be difficult for those involved to end well.
We are going to fight the Zhang family to the end. I believe that after we get rid of those relatives, the court will have a short period of peace. It is better to leave some younger generations to contribute to the court in the future. Don't make a fight that makes the whole family useless. It is also a sin."
Hong Chuanting pondered and sighed for a while: "What you said makes sense, but I didn't think it through." After saying something, he reached out and patted An Yihou on the shoulder, "It's rare for you to reveal such thoughts."
Speaking of this, Hong Chuanting felt heroic: "If I can still lead the army, I will go to meet the Zhang family this time."
An Yihou thought thoughtfully: "It is no small matter for you to be in charge of the Ministry of War. Why don't I go? I want to know the Japanese ships and artillery, and then try the power of the artillery built by the Ministry of Industry." The most important thing is to see.
Look at the Zhang family’s methods.
It took Hong Chuanting a while to come to his senses: "Are you willing to lead troops?"
Marquis Anyi returned to the Marquis Mansion and was in a good mood. He immediately called Xu Qing'an to him. The father and son fought in the schoolyard for two hours. Xu Qing'an finally lay on the ground like a dead dog, breathing heavily.
"It's useless," An Yihou snorted with a stern face, "it hasn't improved at all." He raised the wooden stick in his hand again.
Xu Qingan complained endlessly and asked for mercy.
Fortunately, Mrs. Anyi Hou came over and said: "Okay, how long has it been? Mr. Hou should take a rest and be careful not to be exhausted. I just made lotus seed soup in the kitchen. Mr. Hou changed his clothes and just had a bowl."
An Yihou then put down the stick in his hand and glanced at Xu Qing'an coldly: "Practice diligently and I will test you again tomorrow."
Marquis Anyi strode away, and Mrs. Marquis Anyi looked at her son: "Get up quickly."
Xu Qingan cried sadly: "Fortunately, mother is here."
Mrs. Anyi said: "You, why should you make your father angry if you make more progress?" She handed him a cup of tea.
Xu Qingan drank the tea in one gulp, and his eyes regained some brightness: "My son has something to ask his mother."
Mrs. Anyihou nodded: "You say."
Xu Qing'an said: "Why father, mother only has two children, my brother and my sister, and... I am the only son."
This kind of... is not a question. Mrs. An Yihou frowned and didn't know how to answer, but Xu Qing'an leaned into her ear: "Mother, I heard something. The uncle of the Sun family is not Mr. Sun's biological son."
Well, Mrs. Anyihou didn't think of any necessary connection between the two questions.
Xu Qing'an coughed: "That's because Mr. Sun has a hidden illness and no one can carry on the family line, so he took care of the descendants of the side branch. I..." He pointed to his nose, "Did he be adopted by his mother?"
Mrs. An Yihou's expression changed and she couldn't help but be moved: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Xu Qingan blinked: "It doesn't matter, my mother will always be my biological mother. I... just want to find my biological father..."
"You unworthy man," Mrs. An Yihou reached out to hit Xu Qing'an, "I shouldn't have come to save you."
"Mom, calm down." Xu Qingan ran around Mrs. Anyihou, making Mrs. Anyihou both angry and funny.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing when he looked at his elder brother who looked like a giant monkey in the yard. His elder brother had made some progress recently, but he didn't know when he would be able to share his father's worries.
"Madam," the steward hurried into the courtyard, "Someone from Cining Palace has come, saying they have a reward for the eldest lady."
Mrs. Anyihou was startled: "Quick, go and report to the Marquis."
There are very few rewards from Cining Palace, especially to female relatives who have not yet left the palace. Mrs. An Yihou recalled a similar situation. She seemed to know that the only thing she knew was that the Empress Dowager gave her a jade Ruyi when she was waiting in her boudoir.
The family changed their clothes and walked into the main room.
Mrs. An Yihou glanced at her daughter worriedly, and saw Qing Huan's eyebrows stretched, and she turned to smile at her. She also calmed down a little. No matter what the Queen Mother's intention was, they could not panic now and deal with it carefully first.
Say it again.
The family knelt down and saluted, and then the official in charge of Cining Palace stepped forward and handed a Ruyi made of pure gold into Xu Qinghuan's hands.
Xu Qinghuan felt his hands sink. He looked up and saw two huge gemstones embedded in the filaments above Ruyi, sparkling in the sun.
"Congratulations to Miss An Yihou," the official said with a smile, "This is a rare treasure in the Queen Mother's treasury. I hope this will bring you good fortune and may everything go well for you."
