When Zhao Jiang and Xu Zhao were together, no one in the court was a fool. Everyone knew it. While sighing, they couldn't help but think about their position.

Now the emperor is getting richer. Since the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Rites, and Personnel was dismissed one after another, the new Minister of the Secretary of the Emperor was all used by the emperor. In addition, Wu Shu of the Ministry of Justice has always been a confidant of the emperor, and with the blessing of Dou Guan of Dali Temple, he discussed literature and martial arts. With their support, the emperor has already been able to compete with other court officials.

Not only that, the emperor's heart can be seen. He is gradually retracting his own forces and in a domineering and unquestionable way. For example, now, facing the attack of Zhao and Xu, Xin Zhongqiao also knows that it is impossible not to send troops.

Although he was the Grand Marshal, the head of the military officer, and the power of 500,000 military power, he was a minister after all. In addition to having military power, it was also fearful, but civil officials were very disagreeing with him. In the past, he had the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works available, but now... the situation is bad, so this time, the Ministry of Works will not have any problems.

Xin Zhongqiao glanced at Qiu Wanao. The latter's old god was leisurely and contented, as if the surroundings had nothing to do with him. Xin Zhongqiao gritted his teeth in hatred. Qiu Wanao was not only the leader of the civil servants, but also the support of the prince. Even the empress dowager had close contacts with him. Compared to his civil and military support, his own power was indeed weaker.

But it was precisely because of his strong acumen that he lost the Ministry of Rites and Personnel one after another. Thinking about this, his position as the assistant was not stable.

Xin Zhongqiao comforted himself in his heart and walked out of the military officers and said, "Emperor, what the left governor said is very much. The Yi army should not be tolerated, but now the neighbors of Xiye Kingdom are not at peace. If we send all our strength to encircle and suppress the Yi army, we may take the opportunity to attack. I think that the Yi army's nest is going to be suppressed, but Kyoto must be safe.

I would like to stay in Beijing to protect the safety of the capital. In addition, the Gongyu family has been born as a military general for generations. The old general Gongyusha is also known as the God of War in our dynasty. Although he is old now, his six sons are all outstanding, and he has never made any mistakes in guarding the border fortresses.

Among the six sons, the eldest son Gong Yuzhen is known as the new god of war. He is now the commander of Yuezhou. He not only trains troops like a god, but also uses troops with good command and moderate command. He has made great achievements in Yuezhou. Under his leadership, Yuezhou is also strong and has unobstructed grain transportation. The Japanese offensives on the border of Yuezhou have never benefited from him.

The emperor, I strongly recommend this person. First, Yuezhou is adjacent to Weizhou, and what is the dynamic of Weizhou Yi marching, it is easier to understand. Second, Gong Yu Zhen has fought with Yi marching many times. Knowing himself and his enemy will never be defeated. I think that only Gong Yu Zhen will be the only one who will be selected for this trip to encircle and suppress the enemy."

As soon as Xin Zhongqiao's words fell, military officers came forward to discuss.

Zhuang Yan looked around and said, "This man has a prominent record, and I know that he is indeed the best candidate. According to the Taiwei, Gong Yuzhen became a mighty general, leading 300,000 troops to eliminate the rebels.

I remember that the Gongyu family’s younger generation also has many talents. Last year, two people came from Gongyu’s family, and they were particularly outstanding. Later, another of these two people won the title of King of Martial Arts in the Book Friends Association’s Martial Examination.”

Xin Zhongqiao lowered his head and said, "The emperor refers to Gong Yuzhen's eldest son Gong Yubei and his second son Gong Yu Ban. Both of them are studying at Yangshan Academy now."

Zhuang Yan nodded, "Anyone who was born in a military general had to go to the battlefield for training for many years. The old general was only sixteen years old and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Most of his six sons stepped onto the battlefield because they were not as young as the ones. This time, Gong Yubei also asked his father to go to the battle for training."

Xin Zhongqiao bowed and said, "The Emperor's Holy Prison."

The news of the imperial court sending troops was not delayed. Gong Yubei received a letter from his home in the afternoon, and he hurried home to prepare for the war.

Gong Yubei was not surprised by this matter, so he immediately asked Jiatian to pack his luggage and then explain the situation to Lou Qu.

But Lou Qu had already received the news and specially prepared to perform the ceremony. When he went out and came back, Gong Yubei might have said that he was a person with meritorious results, so he naturally had to treat him well.

After staying in Manshu Pavilion for a while, Gong Yubei returned to Xiyuan. It took at least one or two years to go out and come back. The residence was naturally cleaned up. Only the only starling was hanging outside the window and jumping around in the cage. After thinking about it, he still carried the cage to Lantingyuan.

Lantingyuan is the residence of women. On weekdays, there are very few men passing by. The journey is very quiet and no one else is seen. Such tranquility makes people feel relieved.

Mrs. Li was napping in the house. When she heard someone shouting outside the yard, she got up and opened the door. She saw the young master of Gongyu’s family standing behind Jiatian. She knew that she was coming to find Yao Si, so she said, “Miss Yao is still in school now, why doesn’t the young master go to the school to find someone?”

Jiatian handed the bird cage and bird food to Li Pozi and said, "My young master is leaving the academy for a while, and the starling is left unattended. The young master is worried that the man is not well taken care of, so he wants to hand it over to Miss Yao to take care of him. Please keep it. When Miss Yao comes back, tell her that if she doesn't take it, then you can deal with this bird."

This was what Gong Yubei ordered when he came, and Jiatian said it to Mrs. Li in a word.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Since it was given by the young master, Miss Yao will definitely collect it happily. Don't worry, Mrs., this bird must be delivered to the girl intact."

When Yao Si and Gong Yubei were circulating a "good story" in the academy, later when Yao Si was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion, Li's wife made a special trip to find Gong Yubei for help. In her eyes, Yao Si and Gong Yubei had a very good relationship.

Jiatian turned around and saw that his young master had left, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Li and chased after him.

"Young Master, why are you..." Kata knew that the young master was not familiar with Yao Si, so it had bought the bird for a long time, but it had not been sent out. It was only when it left, which really puzzled Kata.

Gong Yu walked very slowly in the north. Although he was from a martial arts family, he was still the first time he went to the battlefield seriously. However, this trip must be extremely dangerous. Although it is OK to come back intact, he is a person who wants to make achievements, so this is destined to be a very dangerous road.

But it is worth fighting for Gong Yu's family and for his own future. This bird should be regarded as a plea for the past.

After school, after dinner at the vegetarian food, Yao Si returned to Lanting Courtyard. Before he could enter the courtyard, he heard the sound of birds.

She thought it was a bird raised by Lou Yudan, but she didn't want to pay attention to it, but Mrs. Li walked out of the room with a bird cage and smiled: "Miss is back. The bird looks so precious. I don't understand it either. She shouted for an afternoon and didn't stop. She couldn't feed it with water or food."

Yao Si took the feather brush from the bird cage and pointed it on the head of the starling, "Did you raise it in the main house?"

"No, the eldest young master Gong Yu sent it in the afternoon. He said he wanted to leave the academy for a while. He was worried and handed it over to other men for care, so he sent it to the girl."

"Give it to me?" Yao Si was a little surprised. Why did Gong Yubei send her a bird for no reason? Besides, what happened to him after leaving the academy for a while? After leaving the school in the middle of the afternoon, he never went back.

Mrs. Li nodded and affirmed: "It's for the girl."

Although Yao Si didn't know how to raise these things, he was delivered to his hands. He couldn't say anything if he didn't accept them. She took them, talked a few words to Mrs. Li and entered her own room.

The starling was still shouting, maybe because she had changed her master, Yao Si had a headache. If she had left it in the house, she would not have been able to sleep all night. After thinking about it, she carried the bird cage to find Xueya again.

Xueya has been feeling a lot of good deeds these days, but she still glared at her arrogantly when she touched her. Seeing Yao Si coming to find her, she was holding a starling in her hand, she was strange and alert: "What are you here to do?"

Yao Si smiled and said, "The eldest young master Gongyu sent a bird over and said that Miss Lou's Lanting Courtyard has a good scenery, so he wanted to foster the bird in this courtyard."

Xueya was surprised and surprised: "Is it for our lady?"

"I didn't say I gave it to you, but I just said that the scenery in this courtyard is good and I want our courtyard to help me maintain it for a while."

Xueya was about to lift it, and Yao Si waved his hand: "Can you raise birds? This is a bird from Gongyu's family. If there is a bird that is three long and two short, then people will not come to find birds, and they may blame our yard and will also cause your lady to suffer. Why don't I go back, I will save the trouble and thanklessness."

As he said that, he was about to leave. Xueya grabbed her and said strangely: "What do you think? Young Master Gongyu wants to keep this bird in this yard, but what he likes is our lady's yard. How can you send it back? Don't you think that Lantingyuan can't afford to raise a bird?"

Yao Siwei said: "But this bird has been chirping for a whole afternoon and it can't be left in your lady's house. If it makes the lady unable to eat and sleep well, but it will be hindered from the bird's identity, then you will suffer."

Xueya thought about Lou Yudan's temper. This bird really made people feel a headache. She really didn't dare to take it and keep it in the house for a while.

Yao Si pointed to the tree in the yard and said, "It's better to raise it on that tree, neither quarrel about your lady nor have you ever had to refute the face of Master Gong Yu.

But if this tree does not block the rain, I am afraid that someone will have to find someone to put a wooden rack on the tree to shelter the rain and sunshine."

Xueya was delighted in her eyes. This was really a good idea. She could not only let the lady watch birds at any time, but also not to quarrel with the lady, nor did she have to refute the face of Master Gong Yu. She could also give her a good connection for the lady and Master Gong Yu.

She took the bird, turned around and went to find someone to set up a stand for the bird.

Yao Si dumped the potato and slowly returned to his house.

In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t like this bird, but she lives in Lantingyuan, and Lou Yudan is not a good person. If there is a bird in her house, according to Lou Yudan’s temperament, the bird will probably not last a few days. She doesn’t have the time to stare at the bird like she is guarding against thieves every day.

Since this is the case, it is better to simply say that it is a bird fostered in Lantingyuan. It can make Xueya take care of it because of her own responsibility, and there is no need to worry that the bird will die "accidentally" because of herself. Why not do it?

When Gong Yubei comes back, he will send the bird back.

It was late at night, and Dazi hugged and entered the upper room of Nanyuan. Wu Shiwei was sitting on the bed reading a book. He looked up and asked, "What did you find out?"
