From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 686

"Yes, General Mei is very satisfied with him, and he praised him a lot when he was in Liangzhou. Everything from his subordinates is true and there is no lie, and he dare not lie to Lord Hou." Making up things indiscriminately, and besides, this is a matter of life for Lord Hou.

Even though he already had the bottom line in his heart, Zongzheng Mingzhen was still very worried after hearing this, thinking that he had to find a way to send him away.But what if Mei Xin is taken away?Apart from An Qizheng, she probably doesn't have a trusted doctor by her side, so what if something happens to her in the future?
No, you can't do this, no matter what, you have to wait until she gives birth safely and smoothly.Moreover, the current situation in the capital is unstable, and it is even more turbulent with the entry of vassal kings from all over the country.

Thinking about the conflict in his heart but having to consider Mei Xin's safety first, Zongzheng Mingzhen said: "How is his medical skill?"

He was very tired after not closing his eyes for a day and two nights. After returning to Beijing, he had to deal with the emperor and went to see his sister. He was physically and mentally exhausted.And these are not the things that bother him the most, the most tiring thing is Mei Xin's sudden change of attitude and her avoidance.Obviously he was fine when he left the capital, but why did he change when he came back?

He didn't know what went wrong or maybe he had done something wrong, and for a while he was even more annoyed, and his mind seemed to be filled with glue, and he couldn't think clearly.

Zhang Chang didn't know how to answer, so he pondered in his heart and replied: "The An family has practiced medicine for generations. If he hadn't offended Concubine Yi, who is now Concubine Xiangui, An Qizheng's father must be the head of the imperial hospital. As for An Qi is this person, I heard that he devotes himself to studying medical skills without distraction, and is the leader of the An family's generation."

His eldest brother is also good, but as the son of the An family, he has to undertake too many things and take care of too many things, so that the time spent on medical skills is limited, which is also the main reason why his medical skills are not as good as An Qizheng.

He had heard of Anhua Ren'an, the imperial physician, and had treated him when he was a child, but he didn't remember much when he was young.

Frowning tightly, Zongzheng Mingzhen closed his eyes tiredly and remained silent for a long time.After much deliberation, he made up his mind, got up and said, "Forget it, just leave him alone, it's good to have him take care of the eldest princess, it's getting late, you should go down and rest first."

The turmoil in the capital is difficult for him to be alone, and now that he has a relationship with Mei Xin, he is even more suspicious by the emperor.The elder sister was struggling in the palace, and the lives of the two children were threatened. As the only male and head of the Zongzhenghoufu, he had to shoulder the responsibility.Therefore, now is not the time to grow in love with his sons and daughters, he must first get rid of the current predicament.

Zhang Chang took the order to retreat, and Yan Jingchen came to the study.Seeing him frowning and looking lonely, he put the jug and wine glass in his hand on the table and said: "What are you thinking about at night, come, sit down and have a drink with me."

As soon as he entered the city, he fell into a deep sleep, and couldn't fall asleep after sleeping here.Knowing that he was in a bad mood and lovesickness became sick, he found a jar of old wine and came here.

The aroma of the wine is a 20-year-old fine wine. Thinking that I can’t fall asleep, I might just drink two glasses, maybe I will wake up after drinking two glasses.

Sitting down on the soft couch, Zongzheng Mingzhen took the wine cup from Yan Jingchen and said, "Is there any news from Yanzhou?"

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and drank it. The spicy taste entered his throat all the way to his stomach. It burned up instantly as if it was on fire, and he relaxed after a while.

Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes and smiled, Yan Jingchen sat down directly on the fluffy blanket and said, "Don't worry, I won't miss your auspicious time. But your trick is also quite ruthless. Let the girls keep their filial piety for three years, three years Will she be old enough to marry after that?"

He couldn't bear to drink the rare vintage wine like a cow, so he first smelled it and then tasted it carefully.

As expected of a 20-year-old fine wine, it really is a good wine!
Eyebrows drooping and indifferent, he poured himself a glass of wine and said after drinking it suddenly: "If you feel sorry for her, you can marry her back, anyway, you are my mother's godson and my godbrother. It’s okay to hold a wedding at home.”

In view of the inability of his subordinates to put himself and Mei Xin together at the beginning, he sat on the ground and said badly: "When the moon is dark and the wind is high, I will get you drunk and throw you into her room, and I will catch the adulterer at dawn... ..."

Yan Jingchen couldn't listen to him before he finished speaking, and snorted: "Is there any worse idea than this? I have a bit of reputation in the Jianghu anyway. Is it human to rob brothers and daughters-in-law?" , if this gets out, how can I still walk in the rivers and lakes in the future, let her grandmother die. Anyway, she will not live for a few days, and she will die sooner or later. When she dies, she will make some contributions to you. It's to repay the godmother for taking care of the Pei family all these years."

He doesn't have the spirit of self-sacrifice, besides, if he is a knight-errant, he can be tired of his children's love, isn't that making himself uncomfortable.Therefore, it is better to let Mrs. Pei die as soon as possible, as death will just solve Zongzheng Mingzhen's urgent need.

Knowing that he could speak with just one mouth, Zongzheng Mingzhen poured a glass of wine and said, "King Chuhuai rebelled all the way eastward, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo. Today, he received an urgent report and lost three cities. The emperor is in a hurry. He wanted to send Xiao Qichen to lead the army to exterminate the rebels, but he was very afraid of the King of Liang. You all know the military generals in the court, the old, the injured, and the wounded. Looking around, no one can be sent out. Today I listen to the emperor. It means that they want me to go to suppress the rebellion after the wedding, and if the marriage doesn’t work out, I will probably leave immediately. Jingchen, our chance has come!”

The emperor's suspicion of him all started from Mei Xin. If he stayed away from the capital and never saw her again, or had any relationship with her, then the emperor would be relieved. Since his sister is the queen of the middle palace, she has two children. The child is his weakness, and the reason why the emperor dared to use him and let him lead the army at this juncture is probably also the reason.

Holding his family's life in his hands is equivalent to holding his throat and controlling his life, and he will only be obedient in the future.Of course, this is just the emperor's idea, he doesn't think so.Just as he was about to resist, military power was sent to him. He was really dozing off and someone sent him a pillow. His chance came.

Yan Jingchen smiled, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, the two clinked glasses, looked at each other, smiled and drank at the same time, and then talked about leading the army to fight.

King Huai of Chu has planned for a long time and his strength should not be underestimated. Although he has been familiar with the art of war and served in the palace for many years, and his martial arts are not bad, he has never been on the battlefield.Therefore, he had to plan carefully to catch him by surprise.

The emperor has no intention of sending troops from central Beijing, and he has to work with those people when he arrives in the local area, and military affairs are different from government affairs, this is undoubtedly a tough battle for him.
