Chapter 1154: The Prestige of the New Emperor (2)
Shi Hua and Shi Mo walked in and asked softly, "Miss, are you resting?"

Xie Fanghua nodded.

The two hurriedly went to make the bed, and after making the mattress, Xie Fanghua took off his coat and lay down on the bed, turned off the light with his hands, and backed out.

After Qin Yu returned to the room, he saw that the light in Xie Fanghua's room was off, so he also turned off the light and took a rest.

Marquis Yongkang came out of the courtyard, the cold wind blew, and his whole body was icy cold. He stretched out his hand, and the clothes on his front and back were completely soaked. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve, found a secluded corner, and kicked heavily.

The left minister leaned out from the side corner, reached out and patted Yongkanghou, "Master Hou, how is it?"

Marquis Yongkang turned his head, not surprised that Zuo Pangping was here, glanced at him, and nodded.

"Miss Fanghua agreed?" Zuo Xiang asked.

Yongkanghou shook his head, "When I went, the emperor was at Miss Fanghua's place, and I bumped into him."

Prime Minister Zuo was taken aback, "What happened next?"

The Marquis of Yongkang didn't hide anything, and briefly told the story.

After listening, the left minister was speechless for a while.

Marquis Yongkang looked at Prime Minister Zuo, "What do you mean by the emperor? You actually entrusted the third and fifth princes to me for discretion."

Zuo Xiang pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled, and patted Yongkang Hou, "Your brother is very lucky, it means that as long as you finish the errands assigned by the emperor, you will be able to rest easy in Yongkang Hou's mansion in the future."

Yongkang Hou was puzzled.

"Your brother was smart and confused for a while." Zuo Xiang whispered, "According to my understanding of the emperor, I have already decided not to kill the third and fifth princes, but I can't let you go lightly. This matter is left to you , if you can do it well and do it properly, when Lord Yan Xiaohou returns to Beijing, your Yongkang Hou Mansion will be reused by the emperor."

Yongkang Hou Chang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the left minister, "You can help me, how to deal with the third and fifth princes?"

Prime Minister Zuo stroked his beard and said, "The first emperor just entered the earth, the royal family scandals of the third and fifth princes cannot be expanded, but we must let people know, lest people who don't know think that the emperor is narrow-minded, and the first emperor was tolerant when he first entered the earth." No less than two princes."

"That makes sense." Yongkang Hou nodded.

Zuo Xiang thought for a while and said, "According to me, you need to be cold for two days before dealing with it. The two concubines in the palace must be in a hurry. At that time, they will exchange something for themselves. After all, they are the late emperor's concubine. For many years, more or less, I still hold some things in my hand, and if one day I take them out to stab the emperor, it will be troublesome. Why don't you take this opportunity and help the emperor deal with it. Why don't you worry about not being reused?"

Marquis Yongkang looked at Prime Minister Zuo, and was speechless for a moment, "Master Xiang, you are a cunning old man, taking advantage of the fire to rob."

"A real good minister is to relieve the emperor's worries and problems. I do this to avoid future troubles." Zuo Xiang said naturally, "Think about it, now that the emperor entrusts this matter to you, no matter how serious you handle it, everyone in the palace The two concubines love their own flesh and blood, they will not be satisfied, and they may even hate you. If so, why do you bother to be a good person? It is better to save the emperor from future worries."

Marquis Yongkang choked, and reached out to pat Prime Minister Zuo on the shoulder, "Master Xiang, for so many years, your ability to figure out the emperor's heart is really high, it makes me feel ashamed, brother."

"Just listen to me." Zuo Xiang also patted him on the shoulder.

Yongkanghou nodded helplessly.

The two talked in a low voice for a while, and then went back to rest.

After Prince Ying and Princess Ying returned to their residence, both of them were full of anger, and it took a long time for them to suppress their anger.

The Prince of England said to the Princess of England, "Could it be true that the emperor killed those two unworthy ones?"

Princess Ying thought for a while, then shook her head, "Your Majesty is angry, calm down and think about it, it may not be necessary to kill."

"How?" The Prince of England looked at her.

"Now that the former emperor has just entered the land, he has not yet rested in peace, and the border is at war. It can be described as internal and external troubles. The emperor has not yet ascended the throne. Even if something big happens at this time, no matter how ridiculous the third and fifth princes are, he can't kill them. After all, brothers and sisters have the reputation of being kind, generous and virtuous." Prince Ying said.

"It's reasonable." Prince Ying sighed, "It's not easy for the emperor to leave such a mess behind."

"Go to sleep, don't think about it, let's talk about it tomorrow." Prince Ying said.

The Prince of England nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Yu received an urgent military report from the Mobei border.Xie Fanghua watched his expression change again and again, and couldn't help asking, "Is it a letter from my brother?"

Qin Yu nodded.

Xie Fanghua looked at him, "What happened? Beiqi attacked again?"

Qin Yu nodded.

Xie Fanghua frowned, "Has my brother already arrived at the Mobei military camp? The Northern Qi went to war for the second time, what was the result? Could it be that the Southern Qin was defeated again?"

Qin Yu nodded, then shook his head again, "Brother Zigui arrived at the Mobei military camp three days ago, and the Northern Qi sent troops again, and with Brother Zigui sitting in the town, Northern Qi didn't get any benefits this time."

"Then you..." Xie Fanghua looked at him.

Qin Yu pursed his lips, "Brother Zigui went to Xuecheng secretly on the second day after he arrived at the Mobei military camp, but he didn't see the city lord."

"Where did the city lord go?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Qin Yu shook his head.

Xie Fanghua guessed, "Could it be that he knew that my brother was going to invite soldiers, so he avoided seeing him?"

"It's also possible." Qin Yu said, "It is said that the city lord has gone out and is not in the city. I don't know where he went. Xuecheng is now under the control of the elders of the third hall, and the elders of the third hall dare not make decisions without authorization."

"I don't know when I will return to the city when I go out." Xie Fanghua said, "But the Mobei military camp and the border can't wait."

"Yes, Brother Zigui said in the letter that the military in Mobei is much more severe than he imagined before he went. In particular, a few days ago, the army had no masters, which made the soldiers loose. With over ten thousand, the morale in the barracks is extremely low, and there are even soldiers who have fled." Qin Yu said, "If the Northern Qi Dynasty strengthens its troops and uses tactics to attack, it may not be able to defend without reinforcements."

"Wang Gui's soldiers will arrive in another seven days?" Xie Fanghua asked.

Qin Yu nodded, "It's almost the same, but Wang Gui marched in a hurry. Even if he could arrive in seven days, he still had to rest and couldn't fight immediately."

"With my brother's ability, there is no problem in keeping it for seven days." Xie Fanghua thought for a while, "In these seven days, we must find a way."

Qin Yu nodded.

After the two finished talking, Wu Quan came to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, it's almost time, and it's time to leave for Beijing."

Qin Yu nodded, "Send the word out, and let's start."

Wu Quanying was right, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family has served the late emperor for a lifetime. Now that the late emperor is gone, the miscellaneous family is also old. They should have gone with the late emperor, but the miscellaneous family wanted to show the late emperor the future of the South Qin. So I can go and sue the late emperor, and I will prolong my life. But the miscellaneous family asks the emperor for your order, and the miscellaneous family is here to guard the emperor's tomb and sweep the tomb."

Qin Yu got up when he heard the words, came to the door, looked at Wu Quan, and said gently, "My father-in-law has served my father all my life, and I have been watched by you since I was a child, and you have to remind me a lot. Although my father is gone now, But you don’t have to follow, let alone stay here, just be respectful in your heart. It’s time for you to enjoy your old age, so go back to the palace with me.”

Wu Quan shook his head and knelt on the ground, "This old slave is old and can't serve you, and I'll be alone when I go back to the palace. Why don't I just stay here with the late emperor. I wish to die here, and I often offer incense to the late emperor, and also serve the emperor and the emperor. Pray for blessings in the South Qin Jiangshan. I beg the emperor to grant this old slave."

Qin Yu looked at Wu Quan, "The queen mother probably doesn't want you to stay in this imperial tomb, after you return to the palace, you can go to the queen mother."

Wu Quan still shook his head, "The Queen Mother has Ruyi by her side, so she doesn't need an old slave. Your Majesty, you have Koizumi by your side, so you don't need an old slave. Just give this old slave this grace."

Qin Yu had no choice but to say, "Well, anyway, the third brother and the fifth brother can no longer guard the imperial tomb here, so I will let you take care of it for the time being. If you are bored, you can move around at will, and if you miss the palace, you can come back at any time." palace."

"Thank you, my majesty, old slave!" Wu Quan kowtowed to thank the emperor.

Qin Yu raised his hand, gave him an empty hand, and lifted him up.

Wu Quan went to order the departure, and the Marquis of Yongkang came in a hurry and kowtowed to Qin Yu, "Your Majesty, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I think... about the matter of the third prince and the fifth prince, let's stay cold for two days and stay for two days." , I will come up with a perfect plan and deal with it later."

"Since I leave it to you, I will do as you please." Qin Yu nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me." Marquis Yongkang asked again, "I want to stay in the imperial mausoleum for the next two days, and return to Beijing after finishing this matter."

Qin Yu nodded, "Yes."

Yongkang Hou said again, "I have one more thing..."

"Say." Qin Yu looked at him.

The Marquis of Yongkang glanced inside, and begged, "I would like to invite Miss Fanghua to visit my mansion after returning to Beijing, and give my wife a pulse..."

"Huh?" Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

Yongkang Hou immediately said, "I don't want to bother Miss Fanghua, but there are really no good doctors in Beijing, and my wife dare not let people look around. If the emperor..." After a pause, he peeked at Qin Yu and said in a low voice , "It's okay to let the minister's wife enter the palace to find Miss Fanghua..."

Qin Yu glanced at him and said nothing.

Sweat broke out on Yongkanghou's forehead again, and he was a little nervous.

After a while, Qin Yu waved his hands and said, "After I return to the palace, I will announce your wife to enter the palace. Otherwise, let her go to the Hou's mansion to check your wife's pulse. Now it is not like before. I am afraid that your wife's life will be shortened."

The Marquis of Yongkang was startled when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
