Chapter 64 Kindness

Princess Taiping's attitude made Xue Chongxun know. The person he often met afterwards was Cheng Qianli, the Minister of War, and a series of military plans began to be designed and arranged.

The payment for the Turks in summer and autumn this year will still be fulfilled, but preparations have begun to be prepared quietly early.

During this period, Concubine Cheng was particularly favored. Xue Chongxun stayed there almost every day, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was pampering her.

His time is limited, and every wife and concubine cannot treat it like this. Concubine Cheng has too much favor, so the others naturally neglected a lot.

Even Li Yan'er complained. She felt that she didn't come to see her after giving birth to a child. Once, she complained in front of Sun: Did the little princess give birth to it? He doesn't like it?

Sun shook his head and said kindly: I have never heard Xue Lang care about his descendants, and it has nothing to do with the little princess. Besides, we gave birth to one, and the others don’t even have a daughter.

Li Yan'er frowned and said: Then why did he be so tired of Concubine Cheng's place every day? He had never seen such a good time before, but now he suddenly remembered it?

Sun pondered for a moment, and saw that there was no one else beside him, he whispered: Recently, Cheng Qianli, the Minister of War, has often walked around the Prince's Kingdom, mostly for the sake of serious business.Although Cheng Qianli was not Cheng Ting's father and did not often interact on weekdays, he was his uncle and would always ask questions or talk a few words occasionally. Cheng Qianli heard that his niece was favored by Xue Lang, so he was more concerned about doing serious things?

After hearing this, Li Yan'er said: What mother means is that the husband doesn't really like Concubine Cheng, but he deliberately pampered her because of the Prime Minister?

Sun nodded: So you don’t have to be envious. Xue Lang will come to accompany you after this time.Don't say these words, as they will always be embarrassing if they are passed to Cheng Ting's ears.

Li Yan'er nodded obediently and said sympathetically: Concubine Cheng is really good. If I were her, I would rather be a husband than be so kind to me.

Sun was silent for a long time and said seriously: Let him go, state affairs are important. If the outside is not done well, all of us will not have a good life.

……

Cheng Ting didn't care about Xue Chongxun's motives, and she didn't ask about his serious matters. She had been fulfilling and happy these days. She didn't go to play with Ye Zipai, who was usually idle, and she would clean the house every day. She cooked and cooked and looked forward to Xue Chongxun coming back and served him meticulously.

One night, Xue Chongxun heard her say: It seems that he is back in Shanzhou again, and you will come back every day.

Xue Chongxun felt a little guilty and said explicitly: You know that I am not only a prince but also a woman, it is normal. Who is not like this, prince, prince, prince, and minister?I have been with you the most time recently. If Cheng Shangshu of the Ministry of War asks, just tell the truth that I love you very much.I was preparing to use troops against the Turks, and he needed to preside over the overall situation of the Ministry of War. Only when the preparations were made were thorough would there be no dilemma in the last year without soldiers or food.

After hearing this, Cheng Ting looked a little embarrassed and said yes.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said softly: Although it is unpleasant, I still treat you sincerely and do not deceive you. Are you angry?

No!

Cheng Ting shook her head vigorously, raised her head and smiled barely, "I don't blame you, I just blame the husband for being a family of princes. If you are an ordinary citizen and can only marry one, then you will not have these worries."

Xue Chongxun said funny: If that is true, where can we get rich and luxurious clothes and live a luxurious life?There will be gains and losses.

Cheng Ting held his arm and lowered his head and blushed: There is no need to be rich and elegant, it is enough to have a husband... But it is difficult for the common people in the city to have such a civil and military talent. Well, he is so funny...

Xue Chongxun thought that Cheng Ting was really a little woman's personality. She hadn't changed after a few years. He was so happy to tease her: Then you marry me not to our family situation, but to like me?

Um.Cheng Ting responded sweetly.

Xue Chongxun approached her ear and asked softly: Where do you like?His hands weren't honest.

Cheng Ting's ears were red, her body was soft, and she exhaled like an orchid: I like everything, did you want it?

In order to make her feel better, Xue Chongxun said again: If one day a big thing fails, I will take you to live in seclusion with you. You shouldn’t care about being willing to follow me, right?

Cheng Ting said in a sweet voice: Of course, I don’t mind. I will accompany you wherever my husband goes...

Xue Chongxun had a smile on his face, but he thought to himself: When he really came to that point, where is the world's greatest place to live in seclusion?In history, Princess Taiping also ran to the mountainous areas and was caught easily.

His idea is a manifestation of insecure. It is indeed not easy to be as bad as it is now. He thinks things too badly.

Fortunately, he didn't show it, but seeing Cheng Ting's emotional shyness, he couldn't stop and let it go and continued to kiss her ears and neck.

Cheng Ting's ears and hairline on the side face is the most beautiful and natural. The beautiful black hair and white skin make her feel like dewdrops in the early morning of spring.

Her face is not covered with powder, and she is purely beautiful. No wonder Xue Chongxun felt as friendly and cute as a beautiful girl next door when she first saw her.

Her face turned red, and her whiteness looked particularly beautiful. When Xue Chongxun kissed her neck, she naturally raised her head and gasped slightly...

……

Cheng Qianli's military plan is a major military event, and it is necessary to keep it confidential, but it is not airtight. People within the Ministry of War are clear about various details; officials of the Ministry of War are strictly ordered not to disclose outsiders, but some people also risk breaking the law to tell friends with very good relationships, of course, the premise is that they trust each other very much.

One of the ministers, Zhang, had a military plane leaked into the ears of his friend Du Xian.

Du Xian's position was at the level of a military governor and was in charge of the army, but not the people from the Ministry of War could not participate in the central defense. He knew that the details of this matter were inconsistent with the rules.

The relationship between this is not complicated. The Minister of War Zhang Shilang is the brother of the Northwest General Zhang Xiaosong's family. Du Xian and the Zhang family have a very good relationship. After entering Beijing to report their work, they often live in Shilang Zhang's house. The two of them are not out of the box.

Obviously, there are people in the court who are much more at ease when they become officials.

Mr. Zhang was very disdainful of the Secretary’s military arrangement in his words: everything was complicated, but he did not grasp the key points.Isn’t this time preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Turks?What's the use of attacking the grassland and fiddling with other things? It's more practical to get a good cavalry than anything else!

Du Xian took a sip of wine and echoed: Mr. Zhang was so sharp that he was so sharp. I agree with this sentence. Whether it is against the Turks or the Khitans in the north, he still has to rely on cavalry.

Mr. Zhang took the opportunity to say: If Brother Du can become a general and even preside over the Ministry of War, we will be much more worry-free... During the Battle of Helong, Brother Du saved the King of Jin, and then the King of Jin will be cultivated. Is there any chance to enter the Political Affairs Hall this time?

Du Xian's face darkened and he said depressedly: It's probably a little worse.Cheng Xianggong was a general and was unfortunately made a contribution to the Western Regions and is still in his position. If I become a prime minister again at this time, it would give people an unfair exaggeration.Therefore, the King of Jin has not made any statement yet.

Which law clearly states that two prime ministers cannot establish military achievements in the same place?Mr. Zhang shook his head and said.

Du Xiandao: Having said that, everyone knows the rules before they are determined.

Mr. Zhang smiled and said: Brother Du can see through the key points in the military affairs, but he failed to grasp the key points in this matter.

Du Xian was curious and asked: How do you say this?

Mr. Zhang moved the stool forward a few steps and whispered beside Du Xian: Let’s not compete for the rules for now. Let’s talk about Cheng Qianli’s position. If you go up, you will have to fight until you die. Can’t you retreat?But they didn't retreat, why?Brother Du forgot that there was a concubine named Cheng in the King of Jin’s mansion?

After being awakened by this little, Du Xian suddenly realized and thought to himself: This brother who often hangs in the capital really plays the power field very carefully.

Mr. Zhang laughed and said: If you want to get a little worse, it is not a rule, so you almost have a lingering lace.

Du Xian sighed: I am not as good as Mr. Cheng in this regard. I have no relationship with the palace, but there is nothing I can do.

Mr. Zhang shook his head again: This is a bad statement.Cheng Qianli is not surnamed Li, nor is he surnamed Xue!

Du Xian couldn't help laughing and said: Concubine Cheng was promised by His Highness Princess Taiping to King Jin, and she was demoted to a lowly family for General Cheng's crimes, so we can't learn this.Du always couldn't come to the door by himself, saying that our Du family's mother is good-looking and gave it to the King of Jin... Isn't it that people in the world laughing? What kind of face does Du have in the future?

Mr. Zhang sneered and said: We are our own people, I will give you an idea.Yu Liben, the servant of His Highness Taiping, got along well with me. Last time I heard from him that the main Duke Taiping Xue Lang found a plump woman to give birth to a grandson for her.Think about it, Xue Lang is a thirty-year-old man, and he doesn’t even have any children. How can His Highness Taiping ignore it?If you are willing to let a daughter of the Du family and let Yu Liben talk in front of Taiping, what is the difficulty of a concubine from your family?Isn’t Princess Taiping a Taoist? She found a Taoist priest to meet her mother and said that she would promote her husband’s life and spread incense. Isn’t that possible?

Du Xian was stunned and heard Mr. Zhang talking out loud, which sounded like a joke, but when he thought about it carefully, he really felt it was reliable.

Seeing that he did not respond, Mr. Zhang left a sentence: Brother Du thought about it carefully these two days, and if you have a letter, tell me, "Who am I going to help you with such a friendship?"

The general was the prime minister to shine on his family, and the glory of his career was waving to Du Xian. It would be a lie to him that he was not moved.

However, people who are self-reliant in reading sages always feel that such promotion is a bit unlucky, so at least they have to be hesitant, otherwise they will be vulgar.

Mr. Zhang said that, and was not in a hurry to persuade him, but said lightly: If Brother Du figured it out, you have to think about choosing someone, otherwise it would be useless if you don’t like him if you go in.

Du Xian said quietly: Is it better to maintain the national leadership or to make achievements through the right path... So?

Yes, will Mr. Cheng have no achievements?The victory in the Western Regions and Helong is not a joke.There are six people left in the Political Affairs Hall, and there is still one place. Now you don’t have to squeeze people down when you try to fight. Brother Du can think about it.
