Chapter 557: The Great Conspiracy of the Duanmu Family
What did the ladies and ladies downstairs say before? Duanmu Metropolitan has married the twelfth concubine, one is smaller than the other, and the smallest one is not yet in the forefront.
He brought his wife to celebrate Duanmu Anguo's birthday in order to let Duanmu Anguo say something to the court and let him sit as the governor of Qingzhou. The gifts he brought are naturally valuable. But now the situation is different. He wants to save his life and stand out among so many officials and stay in the northern border. It is not possible to rely on Mrs. Lu, a relative on the side of the branch, and this birthday gift is not enough. In addition, the concubine's daughter does not work, so he must think of another way.
And this method...
Punishment Lu Tong's eyes swept quickly on Feng Yuheng, and he had an idea in his heart.
The couple stopped talking and remained silent for a while. Finally, under the gesture of Lu Tong's eyes, the couple decided to rest in the inner room. The matters left and right had come to this point and could not get out, so they could only rest in the room.
Feng Yuheng helped lay the bed, then waited for Mrs. Lu to wash her face, then closed the door and retreated back to the outside room.
The moment the door was closed, Mrs. Lu immediately cast an inquiring look at Lu Tongzong, who whispered: "The same trick happened again." She understood it with great understanding.
Feng Yuheng looked at the door with red lips. Who is she? She has lived for two lifetimes, so how could she hide her little thoughts from Lu Tong?
Do you want to send me to the Dutong Palace? Very good, just because you were worried about not being able to get in, but you gave me a good opportunity. But you just need to think about it carefully. If you were the thirteenth concubine, and if you sent Mrs. Lu to the bridal chamber, would Duanmu Anguo be disgusted to death?
She made up her mind and lay leisurely on the couch in the outer room, closed her eyes to calm her mind.
As Duanmu's National Day banquet approaches, more and more officials enter Songzhou. Of course, most of them are the backbone of other provinces, but no one in Beijing who can go to court has come. After all, Beijing is well-informed, and people know more or less about the northern border. This trip of water is naturally avoided.
The day before the birthday party, Duanmu Anguo sat on the Grand Master's chair in the backyard of the Tutorial Palace, and his eldest son, Duanmu Satoshi, was sitting next to his head.
Duanmu Seung is in his early forties this year. It is the father of Duanmu Qing who died at the hands of Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua. The hatred for Dashun and Duanmu Anguo was the national hatred that he had been bowing down for so many years, while Duanmu Seung was the family hatred of losing his son. He dreamed that he wanted to kill the capital and chop off the two princes Feng Yuheng and Qijiu with one knife. Unfortunately, Dashun went to the northern boundary to kill them. They could defend, but they had to rely on the northern boundary to rush out, but there was no possibility of victory.
Duanmu Anguo glanced at the son and knew that he had to avenge him. This revenge was not only Duanmu Satoshi, but also he himself wanted to settle the accounts with the capital. Duanmu Qing was his favorite grandson, who was both literary and military. He even asked for the position of the deputy governor of the Northern Realm for him. However, he didn't expect that he had just planned to send it to the capital for training, but he died in a foreign land. How could he be willing to do so?
"Cong'er." Duanmu Anguo spoke, "Don't worry, Qing'er's fugitive will definitely give you the opportunity to avenge him with your own hands, but not now. What we need to do now is to accumulate energy and then help Dashun establish Qianzhou, a strong enemy. When they fight to the point of losing both sides, it is the time when we really want to take action."
Duanmu Soshi took a deep breath, suppressed the hatred in his heart, and nodded, "My father is right. At present, nearly forty officials from Dashun have come to the northern border and brought their families. With these people here, Dashun can't be emptied by us, it will be considered half of it."
Duanmu Anguo's face was still cold and he was not too optimistic about it. He said: "Those who can come to the northern border must have not heard of the situation here. Such people are irrelevant to Dashun. But it doesn't matter, no matter how important it is, at least there are too many people. Even if they want to make up for this gap, they will not be able to make up for it for a while. These people must keep them in Songzhou. No matter what they try, they must lock them up even if they try."
Duanmu Satoshi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my father, everyone has been controlled in several inns, and my son has sent heavy troops to guard it. This is the northern border, not the capital. Even if they understand that they want to escape, they will be unable to fly. According to the famous post records when entering Guanzhou, we have sent a large number of people to control their families. With the clampdown of their families, these people have to listen to us."
Duanmu Anguo sighed in his heart, his eldest son was not flexible enough and his mind was not far-reaching enough. He always went straight to a straight line when thinking about things, and never turned a corner. This was the reason why he gave the position of deputy chief of the Northern Realm directly to Changsun instead of the eldest son.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "The northern boundary is too far from the Middle Earth, and these people come from all directions. How many people do you want to send? Or how many secret letters do you send? How could the Dashun court not know about such a large number of people? What's more, when our people find those families, the other party might have taken precautions early in the morning, so how could it be controlled by saying that? Cong'er, if you have half of Qing'er's cleverness, you will not worry about the lack of successors in this land for your father."
Duanmu Sora was so angry that his father said, but he still couldn't figure it out, "What else can I do?"
Duanmu Anguo sneered and told him: "Why do we need to do it ourselves? Just let the wind sound? It means that these officials have already invested in the three northern provinces and the Duanmu family. Their family will be dealt with by the Dashun court. And we can easily control these people with just a vernacular word. Do you think they have the ability to make Songzhou City and go to inquire by yourself?"
After hearing this, Duanmu Satoshi's face turned red and white. He quickly stood up and said, "I'll go and re-arrange it now." After that, he hurriedly left.
Duanmu Anguo sighed heavily, and his whole body seemed to have grown ten years old all of a sudden. His originally tough waist also collapsed a little, and his vigorous spirit also became a little listless. The bitter aura that was as cold as the northern part gradually faded away, and his face was covered with an old look.
He was old, and even though he was unwilling to admit it, his body began to remind him from time to time that he was not as good as he was back then. Qianzhou was ambitious and was always thinking about Dashun's territory from beginning to end. It didn't matter. He wanted Qianzhou to fight with Dashun. If possible, he would still help Qianzhou secretly, and it would be best if Qianzhou could help him to attack Zhongtu. As soon as the bird flew, his Duanmu family would immediately turn around to attack Qianzhou.
Duanmu Anguo narrowed his eyes and his eyes regained the condensation. When the ancestors of the Duanmu family and the Xuan family conquered the Dashun Kingdom together, the Xuan family obtained the Middle Land, but the Duanmu family had only a young general to guard the northern land. At that time, the northern land was not so big, and the three provinces of Songjiang were not within the territory of the Dashun Kingdom. Now the northern territory is the land that the Duanmu family fought to death. From the moment they took over the clan leader, Duanmu was established to seek justice from the Xuan family. Of course, the third prince Xuan Tianye was just a chess piece he used to disgust the old emperor. He had the name of self-knowing, the Dashun Kingdom was the Datai, and the Duanmu family could not afford it, but another place was determined to win.
The Lu couple originally wanted to pretend to take a rest for a while, and they talked and talked about their next plan. However, they didn't expect that Mrs. Lu pretended to be too serious and fell asleep in a short while. Lu Tong had nothing to do, so she could only sleep with her. Maybe she was tired from the boat and the car went to bed until dark and didn't even get up to eat supper.
Feng Yuheng didn't expect to go hungry with them. He entered the space at noon and ate half an elbow. At night, he went into the space to finish the remaining half an elbow. He also took a shower and brushed his teeth. His journey was very pleasant.
But in the end, there was nothing to do. She sat on the kang in the outer room with her knees in her arms, and could see the guards standing outside through the window. Although she was imprisoned in disguise, the Duanmu family did not treat these people badly in the environment. It was cold in the north and it was popular to tie the kang. From the inner room to the outer room, the hot kang was burned very well, so that she had to sit on the quilt to avoid being scalded.
Feng Yuheng could find out that the Duanmu family seemed to be carrying out a big conspiracy, but what exactly is this conspiracy? It always feels that it is not as simple as it seems. If you surrender to the enemy in the northern border, will you really become an ally between the Duanmu family?
She pulled the quilt and covered her body. Although the kang was hot, her body exposed outside still felt cold. She leaned against the wall and thought that there were many soldiers in Xuan Tianming, who walked slowly and had to circumvent the mountain road. Even if it was slow, she should be able to walk half of the journey at this time? She took the risk alone this time, that guy must be very angry. The purple lotus on his eyebrows must have bloomed more vigorously when he was angry, and it looked very beautiful.
Someone started to become a nerd, and at the same time, the purple lotus man walking in the mountains sneezes suddenly. He sucked his nose, as if he had guessed something, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.
Bai Furong glanced at him and asked Bai Ze in a low voice: "What's going on with Your Highness?"
Bai Ze was very good at guessing his master's psychology and immediately said, "It's probably because the princess was talking about it."
"Oh." Bai Furong nodded, "Aheng has this kind of long-distance control function? It's so awesome!" While saying that, she wrapped the big cloak on her body. The more she walked north, the colder it became. The mountains were already frozen, and the river surface was frozen. She felt cold just by looking at it, let alone the cold wind would blow from time to time, which was called bone-broken.
Bai Ze smiled and said, "Don't act too weak. After all, Xiaohan is nothing to our princess. If you are too weak, it is easy to reveal your feelings. Or..." He leaned forward and said, "Or are you happy to see this reveal your feelings?"
Bai Furong stood up and pressed her voice and said angrily: "What are you saying? If you are happy to watch the exposing, why did I go on this trip? Is it okay to be my daughter at home? Tell!" She waved her hand unconsciously, "I can't figure it out. How can someone like you who obviously don't have enough brains to follow His Highness Nine? I really feel wronged for His Highness Nine, and I can tolerate you for so many years."
"You dead woman!" Bai Ze was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, but he couldn't beat the princess in front of everyone, right? He could only hold his breath, his face turned red, and there was obviously resentment in his eyes that stared at Bai Furong.
Bai Furong scolded her nose, "I looked like a resentful woman, so I was embarrassed to glar."
