Chapter 929 Transfer (2)
Xu Wu was silent, and the room suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Wu said: "The concubine was such a kind person before, but now she has become so terrible. Father, I am really worried..."
Huo Changqing understood Xu Wu's meaning. He was worried that Han Yuxi would become the same person as Wu Yan, who would kill even his own flesh and blood for the sake of power: "What you are worried about will never happen."
Xu Wu smiled wryly and said: "Father, the world is unpredictable." Who would have imagined that the princess who had a bodhisattva heart back then could use those refugees to achieve her own goals now.
In fact, Xu Wu knew that Yuxi was not wrong intellectually, but he just couldn't accept it emotionally. Every time I see Yuxi, this kind of thought will come to my mind.
Seeing Huo Changqing looking at him, Xu Wu bit the bullet and said, "It will be too late when the day comes."
"Then what do you want? Let Zao Zao's mother hand over power and return to the backyard?"
Xu Wu knew very well that if Yuxi was to hand over the power, Yunqing would not agree to it in the first place.
After a long time, Xu Wu said: "Father, I know that I may be thinking too much, but I just can't control it. I am even worried that Yu Cong's words will become reality." He used to not believe that Yu Cong died But after hearing about the disaster victims, he started to worry.
Huo Changqing didn't know what to say anymore. After arguing for a long time, it turned out that he was influenced by Yu Cong. After thinking for a while, Huo Changqing said: "Don't forget that the military power is in Yunqing's hands. Although Zaozao's mother is majestic, if there is no Yunqing to support her, she will not be able to control the overall situation. With Yunqing around , what you're worried about won't happen at all."
After a pause, Huo Changqing said again: "Zaozao's mother once told Yunqing that when Ah Hao can stand alone, she will abdicate and let him have a relaxing two days. Yunqing is in good health, let's live another Twenty years is no problem. With Ah Hao's qualifications, he can be on his own in at most ten years."
Xu Wu didn't know about this: "Father, did the prince tell you this himself?"
"Well, it was said by Yunqing himself. If you don't believe in Zaozao's mother, you should also believe in Yunqing." This is why Huo Changqing is so relieved.
Xu Wu's heart that had been hanging all this time finally let go.
Huo Changqing said: "Since Zao Zao's mother is willing to let you be the leader of the imperial army, this is also an opportunity. You can't stay in the palace forever." Only from the third grade, far behind them. I don't think there is anything now, but when the world is settled and the merits and deeds are sealed, the gap will become apparent.
Xu Wu didn't refuse again this time: "Okay." The princess saw through his mind and started to suspect that it would not be wise to stay in the palace.
Xu Wu has been engaged in intelligence for so many years, and it is still difficult for him to find people. In two days, he found the three assassins who assassinated Fu Minglang.
What people didn't expect was that these three people were hiding in the secret cellar of the Hu family's second master's courtyard.
Yuxi asked: "The Hu family? Shouldn't it? If the Hu family belonged to Yan Wushuang, they wouldn't be so bold in donating money that day." The most important thing is that the Hu family has always done good deeds, so they shouldn't be in such a mess with Yan Wushuang For jiān.
Xu Wu said respectfully: "Master Hu didn't know about this matter, it was Master Hu Er who did it. Master Hu Er was poisoned, so he harbored these assassins just to survive."
As soon as Yu Xi heard it, he knew that Master Hu Er was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, it is impossible to harbor these assassins. Because harboring a felon will offend the family and the clan. That's why those people didn't poison the old man of the Hu family, because only those who are afraid of death would ignore the consequences.
Xu Wu said: "This Master Hu eats, drinks, piáo, and gambles all kinds of things, but he doesn't do business. But the old lady of the Hu family dotes on this little son,
Everything goes with him. Over the years, Mr. Hu Er has caused many troubles outside, and Mr. Hu's family helped him solve them. "
Yu Xi sneered and said, "Ms. Hu will die with regret." Master Hu Er's behavior has already affected the whole family.
Xu Wu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Princess, the Hu family has helped our army before, and this time he donated enthusiastically. Wangfei, can you see if you can be lenient." The Hu family has done so many things for them. Now that all members of the Hu family are killed because of the misconduct of the second master of the Hu family, it will inevitably make people feel chilling.
If it was before, Yu Xi wouldn't think much about it. But now Xu Wu thinks that she is cruel and merciless, and Yuxi is very uncomfortable to say this now. Yuxi glanced at Xu Wu, and said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
That look seemed to see right through him. Xu Wu's heart trembled, he quickly lowered his head and said, "It's the minister who overstepped."
Yuxi eased her expression, and said: "Xu Wu, if people don't know their own position, they will easily go astray. Yu Cong is the best example. I hope you can learn from it and don't go away." His old way." Chi Guoguo was already warning Xu Wu. But being able to say this is also due to years of affection. Otherwise, even if you don't deal with it, you will be transferred far away, and it will be out of sight, unlike the current situation where Xu Wu is given a good place to go.
Xu Wu and Yuxi have known her a little bit for so many years, and they warned her that they have reached the extreme. If he does transgressive things again, he will no longer be merciful.
These years of experience are not in vain, Xu Wu knelt on the ground and raised his head and said: "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely not make Yu Cong's mistakes."
In fact, with Huo Changqing watching, it was impossible for Xu Wu to follow Yu Cong's old path. However, Yuxi still added one more sentence: "Think about your wife and children, once you have a mistake, who do you ask them to rely on?"
Thinking of his wife and children, Xu Wu's heart sank. After a while, Xu Wu lowered his head and said, "Princess, I'm guilty."
Yu Xi didn't want to say any more: "Don't bring up the past, and work hard in the future." Everyone has their own standards of conduct, and she doesn't force Xu Wu to disagree with her approach.
On this day, the Hu family was ransacked. Because of what Mr. Hu did before, Yuxi left him a pharmacy, and the people in the big house were not punished. As for the second room, it is naturally dealt with according to the law.
For this result, the elder of the Hu family can only be thankful, and dare not have any complaints or dissatisfaction. You must know that these assassins assassinated important officials of the imperial court. If they were dealt with according to the law, their family would have to be exiled for thousands of miles even if they did not beheaded. Now it's just that the family property is confiscated but the family is safe, which is already very lucky. In addition, there is a pharmacy, which is well-run, and the whole family has no worries about food and clothing. At this time, the benefits of the Hu family's insistence on doing good deeds are revealed. Even if the Hu family committed a crime, the doctor and the waiter in the pharmacy did not leave without fear of getting involved.
At this point, Mrs. Hu still forced Master Hu to save her youngest son.
Except for Mr. Hu, everyone in the big house hated Mr. Hu to death. If it wasn't for this evil spirit, how could they have come to this point. Now the old lady wants them to save this evil spirit, how willing. However, all goodness and filial piety came first, and they didn't dare to say harsh words. A group of people in the big room knelt in front of Mrs. Hu's bed, begging her to leave a way for everyone to survive. But even so, Mrs. Hu still insisted on asking Mr. Hu to save people.
Facing the stubborn Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu finally became angry, and said bluntly that if she hadn't blindly indulged her, Mr. Hu would not have fallen to the point where he wants to beheaded for public display. In short, Mrs. Hu committed a serious crime and lost his life this time, all because of Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu's accusation caused Mrs. Hu to have a stroke, and she couldn't speak anymore. At this point, the big house of the Hu family finally calmed down.
Meng Nian sent more than a dozen assassins to the northwest, but the three arrested could not leave the city because they showed up, and the others left the northwest with the help of Master Hu Er. Because of the delay for a few days, I couldn't catch up.
As soon as the assassin's matter was resolved, Xu Wu took up his post. It was not Xu Daniu who took over, but Sibo Nian. It's not that Xu Daniu is not capable enough, but that he is very impulsive and likes to drink, such a person Yu Xi can't trust. Xu Daniu also knows his shortcomings, and he knows that Sibenian is better than him, so he has no dissatisfaction.
It's rare to be free today, Yuxi said with a smile: "I've been busy the past few days, and I didn't have time to look at the things you picked. It just so happens that I'm free today, let's go and have a look."
Zao Zao expressed no interest and did not want to go.
Yuxi scolded with a smile: "This was chosen for you, who will you let if you don't go?" Yunqing and Brother Hao'er four brothers don't want to go, but they must go.
Zao Zao had a bitter face.
Entering the room, Zao Zao was blinded by the jewelry placed on the table. Inside the box were rubies, sapphires, opals, and other jewels. The smallest of these gemstones are as big as peanuts.
Liu Er smiled and asked: "Sister, let's see if you like it?"
Zao Zao frowned and said: "These things add up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?" Every gemstone is filled into a box, and these things must be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Yuxi smiled and said: "These are the trophies captured by your father, and you don't need to spend extra money to buy them." In fact, many things here are not available for money, especially the emeralds, which are hard to come by of.
Hearing this, Zao Zao had another worry: "Mother, give it all to me, what will Liu Er do then?" She has a salary, and she can get a share of the spoils of war, so she can support herself even without a dowry . But Liu'er is different, if she doesn't have a generous dowry, she won't succeed.
Hearing this, Liu'er hugged Zao Zao's arm and smiled coquettishly: "Don't worry, elder sister, there are still many good things in mother's storeroom, and my share will not be missing." Liu'er likes everything the girl likes. , such as beautiful jewelry clothes and all kinds of exquisite embroidery. Relatively speaking, she is not very interested in calligraphy, painting and antiques.
Zao Zao didn't believe this, and said: "After picking out so many jewels, how much can there be in the storeroom? Mother, let's divide these jewels into half!"
Liu'er doesn't want it.
Yuxi smiled and said: "In two years, your father will lead troops to attack the capital. Are there any good things when you take the capital? So, don't worry about it." In fact, there are many good things in the warehouse. It's more than enough for Liu'er, I said this because I don't want to listen to Zao Zao's nagging.
Zaozao's eyes lit up immediately: "Mother, do you mean that we will attack the capital next year?" She missed the opportunity to make meritorious deeds when she attacked the capital.
Yuxi's two years was just a general statement: "I just finished the war, so I have to rest for three years." The little money that I saved after two years of hard work was also filled in, and now I am really poor and useless. How to send troops to attack the capital in this situation.
"Liu'er is fifteen years old now, and she will be eighteen in three years. At that time, she will have to prepare a dowry. Doesn't Liu'er have to be twenty to get married?"
A blush appeared on Liu'er's face, and she pinched the corner of her clothes unconsciously. The eldest sister is also really, how can she talk about getting married!
"You will be seventeen after the New Year. Are you planning to marry next year?" Yuxi is planning to marry when Zao Zao turns eighteen, and Liu'er is the same.
Zao Zao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Mother, I will get married after conquering the capital."
These words are not inconsistent. She would have to be in her twenties if she conquered the capital.
Liu'er was not worried about not being able to get married, but she couldn't help but interjected: "Eldest sister, you will be twenty in three years. Are you afraid that the second young master of the Wu family will despise you?"
"Don't worry about this, Jinyu will definitely do what I want." Seeing Yuxi looking at her with a half-smile, Zaozao hurriedly said: "Mother, didn't you say that women should not get married too early? Getting married too early is not good for your health. it is good."
Yuxi didn't say this, she just said that it is not good for women to have children too early. However, she didn't bother arguing with Zao Zao: "As long as the Wu family has no objection, I'll do as you please." It's too late for her daughter to stay for two more years if she's happy, so how could she object.
"I'm relieved." She was still afraid that Yuxi would object, and she kept thinking about how to say this. Now it's all right, the problem is solved: "Liu'er, speaking of which, I don't know what you like? Tell me, so I can help you pay attention."
Liu'er was a little annoyed: "Sister, what are you talking about?" Even if you want to say it, you have to say it in private, how can you say it in front of a room full of maids and women!
Zao Zao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There is nothing embarrassing about it. And it is a matter of lifelong happiness, so we should be more cautious.
Seeing that Zao Zao wanted to say more, Yu Xi coughed and said: "Okay, I've seen everything, if you don't mind Zao Zao, let's go back!"
Zao Zao naturally has no objection: "Mother, you can decide on the dowry, don't ask me any more."
The person involved didn't care about the dowry, but Liu'er asked with great concern: "Mother, is the furniture ready? When will it be delivered?"
"It's not good yet, and it won't be finished until next summer at the earliest." Anyway, Zao Zao didn't get married so soon, and it will be done later, slow work yields meticulous work!
Zao Zao felt that it was a waste: "Mother, to transport these furniture from Jiangnan to Hao City, the shipping fee is not a small amount."
Liu Er was speechless.
At this moment, Meilan came in and walked to Yuxi's side, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Master Yu said that he has something important to report." Since Yu Zhi said something important, there should be no delay.
When Yuxi heard this, she hurried to the front yard. (to be continued)
