Chapter 11 Chapter 85: Unkind Xia Xun

Sakura followed Xia Xun away. A little girl who falls in love is always easier to coax, and Xia Xun, a big liar who hasn't lied for a long time, only said one thing: I can't trust anyone else except you!Xiao Ying left with him happily, completely unaware that since Xia Xun returned to Beijing, Jin Yiwei has been in charge of the affairs of Wala's side, and Xia Xun's people can only retreat to the surrounding area in order to avoid exposure. He knew a thing or two about the situation there, so he needed someone who was familiar with the local customs.And Xia Xun said: I can't trust anyone else except you!It only refers to those Jinyiwei who are handling the Wansongling matter, they are Ji Gang's people.

Whatever it is, Sakura is happy about it, isn't she? Xia Xun went north, bringing only two maids, Qiaoyun and Xianya, with her. Don't underestimate the maid serving the master. A qualified servant girl must be familiar with the rhythm of the master's life, and understand the master's habits of dressing and hatting. To understand the owner's food preferences, when the owner needs something, she can offer it in a timely manner. This is a caring girl. You can't ask the owner to worry about everything and give orders personally, but the only advantage is that she runs errands diligently.

Originally, Zi Qi and Xiao Di also wanted to go with them. Zi Qi wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look. Xiao Di lived in Shandong since childhood and regarded it as his hometown. It's really inappropriate to be tired, and Ziqi is his wife. The emperor allowed him to take his concubine with him, but he didn't agree to bring his wife and children to take office, so the proposal had to be abandoned. Tang Saier's family accompanied Xia Xun to the north. The reason why Tang Saier left was to send her master, Granny Qiu, back to her hometown.The old people pay attention to return to the root of the fallen leaves. Granny Qiu is too old. In recent years, she has been ill and her health has been deteriorating. Therefore, she has resigned from the court, hoping to die and be buried in her hometown.In the beginning, Zhu Di left her in the capital, originally it was a strategy to restrain her. In the past few years, Mrs. Qiu has become famous in the capital, and she has taught a few proud disciples. The court has verified that her situation is true, and she has not continued. If it is necessary to control, he allowed his resignation and returned home.

In this day and age, traveling far is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult for old and weak women without a man to accompany them. It happened that Xia Xun was going north, so he went with him. Xia Xun did not disclose his specific itinerary, so when he set off on the road, he was quiet and no one saw him off. Sending off, whether it is for the sender or the recipient, is a troublesome thing, especially now that the King of Han has fallen, and the position of the crown prince is more stable. As the backbone of the prince faction, it is too much at this time. Extravagance has no opponents to show off, but it will have a bad influence on the emperor's heart, so Xia Xun walked very low-key.

Ji Gang is usually very high-profile, very high-profile and arrogant, but his popularity is too low. On this occasion, even if he wants to be high-profile, he can't be high-profile, so the only ones who sent him were the Eight Great King Kongs of Jinyiwei. While Xia Xun was busy arranging the family, Ji Gang was also busy, busy adjusting all his cronies and confidantes, and placing them in all key positions. Going to Yanjing is like exile. The emperor is bringing this pair of enemies together Blast away from the center.Ji Gang's little action is actually of little use. As long as Sai Hazhi wants to move, he can manipulate the personnel he adjusted at any time, but since he has made an arrangement, it is expected that Sai Hazhi will not make a drastic rearrangement, which is better than nothing.

Ji Gang brought a few of his confidantes, as well as the pair of sisters who were intercepted when they were drafted girls, and the pair of prostitute sisters to wait on them. All the Eight King Kongs stayed in Jinling. This is his fundamental place. Willing to give in to Sai Hazhi. Outside Jinling City, beside the long pavilion, Xia Xun turned around and said to the family who was seeing him off: "Everyone stay, there is no need to see each other off." Xia Xun held Ming'er's hand and said: "Ming'er, marrying me has really caused you a lot of hardship. Now I go to Yanjing. I don't know how long it will take. I still have to leave the house to you."

Ming'er smiled sweetly, and said softly: Don't worry, my husband, a man's ambition is in the world, just leave the house to my concubine, don't worry about my husband! Xia Xun nodded, and said thank you: Zi Qi is pregnant, you are the smartest at home, you should help your wife more! Thank you for nodding, and the circles of my eyes are red. Xia Xun looked at Ziqi and Rena again, and said with a smile: You are about to give birth, no matter whether you have a boy or a girl, they are all my own flesh and blood, and I love and love you the same. Don't think too much. When the child is born, give it to me as soon as possible. Report a letter to go!

Xia Xun told the wives and concubines one by one, and finally walked to Su Ying, gently held her hand, and said in a low voice: The conflict between Shuangyu and the guards in eastern Zhejiang is always constant. It used to be, and it is now. , I'm afraid it will be indispensable in the future, there is no way to avoid it.You can see how the imperial court has always treated the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes attached to outside the customs, how did the former Liaodong local government treat them?Always regarded as a slave, Shuangyu Guard was originally a pirate and formed its own system. Naturally, it was difficult to integrate with the guards in eastern Zhejiang and was discriminated against.

Liaodong Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, I can use the policy of mutual benefit to make them like a family, and eventually merge, but Shuangyu Guard can't, our family's secret caravan is all there, how can it be called East Zhejiang? Zhu Wei shared the secret.And this is precisely one of the reasons. Maritime trade is profitable, and Shuangyu Wei is a natural port, which is uniquely endowed, thus controlling the benefits of East China Sea trade. The guards in eastern Zhejiang cannot share it. It's like a thorn in my side.not to mention Xia Xun sighed for a long time, and said: In the case of Shuangyu being framed in the past, although I vented my anger for them and beheaded a few directly related officials, it was impossible to withdraw all the officials of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy. Well, even if they are all withdrawn, the generals who will replace them will still be of their line. The relationship between the master, brothers, robes, and comrades-in-arms is intricate. No embarrassment?

After I leave, you can often go to Shuangyu and tell Xu Hu and others about these difficulties.The Zhedong navy may embarrass them a bit, but they never dare to take too much action, especially now that the king of Han has fallen and the crown prince's position is stable. It's a life-and-death fight. The relationship between each other is not good. If you have a chance, you will make things difficult for you. This kind of thing is inevitable. The officers and soldiers of Shuangyu Guards have always been rebellious. I also know this. Don't rely on my relationship. Make things trivial Big, making each other's potential equal!

Su Ying nodded meekly, and said: I know, I will go to Shuangyu in a few days, I will tell Brother Xu what the master means. Xia Xun nodded, glanced at Ji Gang who was not far away to deal with Ji Gang who had just boarded the car, and said: "Okay, let's all go back, I'm on my way too." The two convoys hit the road one after the other. Walking and walking, the bamboo curtains were rolled up high, Xia Xun was lying in the car, the little girl Xianya knelt and sat in front of him, a pair of small white fists gently beat his legs, Qiaoyun snuggled up beside him, peeling He picked up amethyst crystal and juicy grapes and handed them to his mouth. For Qiaoyun, it is very happy to be able to travel with him. She was originally just Mrs. Ming's personal maid, and when she was in the house, there were inevitably too many monks and too little food, and there were not many opportunities to be favored by the master. This time, the master only took her along Concubine, are you afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to serve the pillow mat?Seeing that all the wives had children, she was also very envious. She wished that she could give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Duke of the country, so that she would have to rely on her for the rest of her life, so she took care of Xia Xun meticulously. Xianya was originally the young lady of the family of a second-rank official in the imperial court. Before her father's accident, Xia Xun was only a sixth-rank official in the court. After being a loyal minister, Xia Xun took great care of her, but this is how it is in this era. It's impossible to raise her as a eldest lady, so Xia Xun has long let nature take its course in serving her. Xian Ya glanced at the outside of the car, pouted her mouth unhappily and said: This Ji Gang has no rules. When the road is narrow, he sometimes knows the rules and walks behind the master, and sometimes he deliberately catches up one step and grabs him. In front of the master, when the road is wide, it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Either you keep walking behind, or you walk far ahead. What's the matter? Xia Xun said with a smile: "Girl, what are you struggling with? Ji Gang is more troubled than you on this journey. If he walks ahead of me, he is worried that he might be clearing the way for me; if he walks behind me, he is afraid that someone will laugh at me for doing me wrong." His entourage; he is at the same level as me, the difference in status is too far, and the overstepping is too obvious; if you rush ahead, walk too fast, and seem to be afraid of me, you don’t know, he is very entangled along the way. What annoyance. Qiao Yun burst out laughing, and said: Master really hurts others, how can anyone in the world look for trouble like this? Xia Xun said leisurely: Hey, don't you believe it!This person, once he has a heart demon, he will find trouble for himself. Xia Xun sighed softly, and said: Ji Gang back then was not like this. Although he was a little cynical back then, he still lived a free and easy life. He glanced out through the window, there was nothing to do on the way to the left and right, and he felt bored, suddenly he became narrow-minded and wanted to play tricks on Ji Gang, so he smiled at Qiaoyun and Xianya: You don't believe the words of the master, right?If you don't believe me, let's have a look. The two girls suddenly regained their spirits: Master, what bet are you betting on? Xia Xun said: Master, I will invite Ji Gang to come over to play chess now. If he comes, he will feel that he is pleasing me and spending time with me. If he does not come, he is worried that he will be misunderstood because he is afraid of me, so he must be twitching It is not easy to agree or refuse, and it takes a long time to think about it before making up your mind. The two women clapped their hands and said happily: "Okay, okay, what if the master loses?" Xia Xun said: "If I lose, we will arrive at Qingjiangpu not far away. Let's not rush on the road, and just rest there for two days and ask you to take a look at the nearby scenery." Qiao Yunxi said: So what if they lose? Xia Xun smiled and said: "What else can I do?"Why don't you give the master a kiss on your little pout. Xian Ya blushed immediately, and said coyly: Nobody wants it! Xia Xun froze for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: Master didn't tell you, what size tea cover should match the size of the pot, hehe, your cherry mouth is too small, master. Xian Ya's face is like a big red cloth, she doesn't defend, it seems that she really has a small mouth, and if she defends, it seems that she wants the master to kiss her, it's really a dilemma.Xia Xun knocked on the car window with a smile, and ordered: "Catch up with Ji Gang!" The coachman raised his whip when he heard this, and the car drove quickly, catching up with Ji Gang's car in a short while. Xia Xun leaned out the window and smiled at the car next to him: "Master Ji, Master Ji?" Ji Gang poked his head out of the car, clasped his fists and said: Duke? Xia Xun said: "The journey is boring, are you interested in killing a game?"
