Chapter 91 Dispute (2)

Inside the Qin Mansion, Qin Zhao asked Du Wenshu very bluntly: "Du Hanlin, I want to know why Yunqing was promoted two levels in a row?"

Du Wenshu said helplessly: "General Qin, it was not the crown prince who promoted Yunqing to two ranks in a row. It is much higher than his current position, if he wants to be promoted, and Yunqing is fair, how can other people refute it?" The most important thing is that the Prime Minister is well-founded. Things are fair and just.

After hearing this, Qin Zhao had a bad premonition in his heart: "Alright, how could Yu Xiang meddle in Yunqing's affairs?"

Du Wenshu didn't hide it from Qin Zhao, and said: "The Yu family wanted to get involved in the military power. They couldn't win over General Qin, so they turned their ideas on Yun Qing. The prince was worried that Yun Qing would vote for the Yu family, so he sent me Come to appease me. Please rest assured, General Qin, you are the most important thing for the crown prince.” After speaking, he took out two letters from his bosom and handed them to Qin Zhao, saying, “One is from the crown prince’s own handwriting, and the other is from the empress. Letter from the General."

Qin Zhao accepted the letter, first read the prince's handwritten letter, and then Qin Yue's letter. What the prince wrote in the letter were words of comfort; Qin Yue's letter stated that she was pregnant with the prince's child.

Knowing that Qin Yue was pregnant, Qin Zhao looked happy. If the younger sister gave birth to a son, then he would have a firm foothold in the East Palace.

Du Wenshu looked at Qin Zhao's face and said, "General, His Highness the Crown Prince knows that this incident is difficult for you. But the Crown Prince also said that when you make more military achievements, you will definitely be promoted to your position, so that Yun Qing will be able to help you in the future." Under you." The problem is that if Qin Zhao wants to be promoted, he must first have military merits, otherwise Yu Xiangke will have something to say.

Qin Zhao said: "Prince, please rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint the prince's expectations." In the war after the beginning of spring, he must make military achievements.

Du Wenshu felt that Qin Zhao was more obedient than Yun Qing, and wanted to be appeased, unlike Yun Qing, who was tough and didn't take the prince's win over seriously. Thinking of this, Du Wenshu said: "General Qin, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Please pay more attention to Yunqing's affairs in the future." There must be someone on his side monitoring Yunqing, but if With Qin Zhao monitoring Yun Qing, it would be a double layer of insurance.

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "I know Yunqing a little bit. He is rebellious, arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't want to submit to anyone. But his wife Han is not simple. After half a year of marriage, let Yunqing be obedient to her. Mrs. Du, Mr. Han is from the Yu family, and I think that if the Yu family wants to win over Yunqing, they will definitely start with Mrs. Han." This means, Not only should Yun Qing be monitored, but Han Yuxi must also be monitored.

Du Wenshu naturally knew that Han Jianming had taken refuge in the Yu family, but now he was keeping his filial piety at home, but he didn't expect that he would be restless. But Qin Zhao's words, he can't believe everything, at most he half-believed, nodded and said: "This matter is very important, I will go back and tell His Royal Highness the Prince." See if what Qin Zhao said is true.

After talking about business, it's time for a drink. Qin Zhao clapped his hands, and six women in bright red clothes came in from outside, dancing to the melodious music.

Du Wenshu frowned. Even if he didn't like Yunqing's attitude, Yunqing at least devoted himself to his military affairs and never slacked off. On the other hand, Qin Zhao, the chief general, is here to sing and dance, enjoy good food and wine.

The short entourage beside Du Wenshu said with a smile: "General Qin, my lord, do these two beauties look different from the women from the Central Plains?" These six women are tall and have deep green eyes. It's not a Central Plains woman.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "These are all women from the Western Regions.

"

Du Wenshu is not interested in seeing the beauties, but he can't leave either, or the relationship with Qin Zhao will become tense, and it will not end well at that time.

After lunch, Du Wenshu took a group of people back to the post station. Back at the post station, the confidant Du Wenshu sent out to inquire about the news also came back.

Du Wenshu actually already knew most of the things. For example, Yuxi opened a restaurant in Yucheng and founded Qingfengtang: "Is there anything else besides these?" What do you think about the establishment of Qingfengtang? To put it mildly, the ambition is not small, but to put it mildly, it is just a woman's kindness. But it would be a bit exaggerated to think that the Han family is a powerful man from this incident.

The confidant said: "And because of the Qingfengtang incident last year, the Han family went to the yamen to hand over the pleadings and sued the fourth master of the Xu family." Also said.

After hearing this, Du Wenshu looked dignified, and said, "Are the things that have been spread out true?" He has seen this way of spreading rumors a lot in the capital, and it is a trick that some women like to play. Furthermore, before he came here, he had inquired about some things about the Han family. How should I put it, he was not very brilliant, but he was not mediocre, nor was he a submissive person, otherwise he would not have adopted the eldest family. Therefore, Du Wenshu thought that Han Yuxi was a little clever, but not very wise. As for making Yunqing obedient to her, the biggest asset this woman has to conquer a man is not her intelligence, but her looks. It is obvious that the Han family has this capital. Of course, Du Wenshu didn't underestimate the Han family because of this. You know, a woman's pillow style is also very powerful.

The confidant entourage nodded and said: "It's all true, there is no falsehood."

Du Wenshu heard that his complexion was very ugly. Crying for suffering and poverty every day, the soldiers didn't even have a new cotton coat for the winter, but Qin Zhao and Xu's family lived a life of luxury. At this moment, Du Wenshu's impression of Qin Zhao was extremely bad.

The confidant entourage paused and said: "I also found out that an assassin tried to kill Han Shi in the name of Concubine Jing yesterday, but they were spotted by people around Han Shi and failed."

Du Wenshu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Is this true?" Du Wenshu was not very clear about King Jing's appointment of Yuchen as a lobbyist. But it happened at this time, he is not stupid, he knew that it must be the meaning of the prince or King Jing.

The confidant entourage nodded and said: "This news was released by the Yun Mansion, so it should be true. I also found out that the assassin had a sign of Jing Wang Mansion on his body. Many people said that this was done by the Xu family in order to avenge Madam Yun." .”

While the master and servant were talking, they heard someone shouting from outside: "Master Du, the Qin family has sent something over, Master Du, come and have a look." The so-called things are actually people, the beauties I saw just now, Beauty of the Western Regions.

The short man was at the banquet just now, and his eyes never moved away from these exotic beauties. Seeing Qin Zhao send people here this time, he was extremely satisfied with Qin Zhao's knowledge and interest. Except for Du Wenshu, everyone else was very satisfied.

Although Du Wenshu was disdainful, he still pointed at a woman casually. His finger indicated that this woman was his favorite. People who walk in the officialdom can't go very far if they behave extremely high-spirited. Du Wenshu was able to climb to the position of a fifth-rank imperial servant in less than thirty years, and was favored by the prince, so he was naturally not a pedantic and noble person.

The next day, Du Wenshu went to the Dingbei Army's barracks to look for Yunqing, wanting to learn more about the preparations for the Spring Festival. Unfortunately, Yun Qing didn't see him, Huo Changqing still came out to accompany him. However, Huo Changqing also explained his various problems in detail.

When he returned to the post station in the evening, his entourage came over and said, "My lord, Mrs. Yun knows that we are going back to Beijing tomorrow, so she sent some boxes over."

Du Wenshu said: "What did you send?" Yun Qing was so pushy, this Han family is not bad in terms of human relations.

The entourage said: "They are all some special products of little value. Besides, there are two boxes with seals on them, which are said to be gifts for Princess Jing. The person who carried the things said that the boxes were very heavy, and the things in the boxes might be It’s jade.” What was given to Princess Jing was jade, and what was given to them were some dried fruits and other special products, the gap is really not that big. It was just because the things belonged to Princess Jing, and no one dared to refuse to give them away.

Upon seeing this, Du Wenshu said, "Since it's delivered, please keep it!"

The group stayed in Yucheng for three days and then set off to go back. The group who followed Du Wenshu had some complaints, but faced with Du Wenshu's tough attitude, everyone could only compromise.

Xu Wu and Yuxi said: "Ma'am, the Qin Mansion didn't send anything to Du Hanlin and his party. Ma'am, this is a bit strange. In the past, people from the capital would send a lot of things to the Qin Mansion, but this time it was uncharacteristically?"

Yu Xi said with a smile: "Last year's incident was full of turmoil, and the Qin family wanted to avoid suspicion." Even if they wanted to give gifts, they would only do so in private.

After hearing this, Zijin said: "Madam, the Qin family didn't send anything to those people, but we sent several boxes of things!" Although it was worthless, others didn't know it! Others thought they had given a heavy gift.

After hearing this, Yuxi laughed and said: "Those things are not worth a hundred taels in total, which is not enough for others to bring jade for me? Even if people outside know it, it doesn't matter. If you want to say what they say, no one will." I can't keep their mouths shut." Most of these jades were bought by Yu Xi. Jade is not worth much here, even the best jade is not too expensive.

Zijin laughed and said, "You still say I pick it! You might as well not give away those things!" Special products are special products, but they are worthless!

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's just to express my intentions, and these things can be eaten on the road, very practical." Yunqing didn't say anything, so could it be that she paid for Yicheng herself. If you pay, not only will you not get any good, but you will be reprimanded by Yunqing. Of course, the main reason was that Yuxi felt that they would not seek refuge with the prince anyway, and they were not on the same side as them, so there was no need to please them. Otherwise, she would have paid for it even if she paid for her own house.
