Chapter 254 [Leopard battalion commander]
Han Mo was so shocked by this sentence that he was sweating all over. In this short sentence, the ambiguity was very big, which brought Han Mo a very special and strange stimulation. Smelling the fragrance of Princess Xiu's body, Han Mo looked at his eyes and nose and looked at his heart, and said calmly: "If it is wet... wipe it dry..."
Princess Xiu laughed even more and gave him a blank look. She looked extremely charming. Finally, she stood up. Before Han Mo could see clearly, she saw that she had quickly left the pool like the wind and went ashore, leaving only a gust of fragrant wind. When Han Mo turned around, she saw Princess Xiu's clothes that she had taken from somewhere. The purple robe had completely wrapped her delicate body, still exquisite and undulating.
"Too much is not enough!" Princess Xiu smiled softly and said, "Although the potion is very good, it will hurt your body after staying in it for a long time...it will hurt your body. This is the case in everything in the world. If it goes too far, it will be less beautiful."
Han Mo also came out of the pond, his whole body was wet. Fortunately, Princess Xiu had already ordered the palace maids to take out their soft new clothes. Han Mo then changed into it and walked out of the Xiangfei bamboo fence full of spring.
The night is quiet, and the huge Xiuchun Palace is also quiet. Princess Xiu stood in front of the side hall gate, with her body undulating, slender waist and fat, and her buttocks, and her graceful posture. She looked up at the dark sky in the night and said softly: "Han Mo, in the future...will you come to talk to me?"
"If Aunt Xiu is willing... Han Mo will definitely obey...!" Han Mo returned to his respectful attitude.
Princess Xiu smiled softly, "What a good boy. I'm tired... Do you want to stay?"
Han Mo's heart was shocked. He was not a casual person. He said with a solemn expression: "I will still have official duties tomorrow, so...!" He actually understood very well in his heart that this Princess Xiu seemed extremely coquettish, and if she really wanted to spend a good night with her, it might not be an easy thing.
He was a little confused now. Since it is said that Princess Xiu and Murong He are close, why did Princess Xiu never let Murong He go down to the pool to bathe together, but instead let himself enter the pool? This is really puzzling.
Princess Xiu laughed and said in a bad voice: "You don't seem to be brave enough... Well, you really don't want to tell me the identity of the corpse?"
"If the princess needs to know one day, Han Mo will definitely tell the princess in person." Han Mo said calmly.
Princess Xiu sighed quietly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't ask anymore. Han Mo, the Emperor's brother values you very much, and I hope you... take care of yourself. Don't let Brother Emperor... and I'm disappointed..."
Han Mo immediately said seriously: "I will do my best to live up to the love between the emperor and the princess."
Han Mo was very satisfied with the scene where Murong He saw him bathing with Princess Xiu tonight, but he became more alert to Murong He. Although Han Xuandao had given instructions, Han Mo would never passively sacrifice his life in order to win over Princess Xiu.
Men should have the persistence of men and fall into the body to buy women. This is something Han Mo cannot accept, so he must take the initiative in this ambiguous game.
Otherwise, he would rather give up!

In the next few days, one after another from Wujun was presented.
The Ximen clan of Wujun is well-informed. Before the city garrisons of Yichun County and Donghai County arrived, they had already learned that something was wrong in the capital. In desperation, they wanted to kill the enemy. They immediately gathered the Ximen clan's army to prepare for rebellion.
However, the officials of the East Flower Hall lurking in Wujun also received the order from the Flower Hall to assassinate many elders of the Ximen clan in succession, causing the aristocratic army to gather slowly. At the same time, the Wujun City defenders immediately controlled the Ximen Manor and suppressed the Ximen clan under the steel knife. Who knew that there were spies in the city defenders who had been bribed by the Ximen family, let go of the missed son and escaped a few Ximen clan members, including the head of the Ximen family.
The people left Jianye City, the capital of Wujun, and rushed to the Wujun Navy under the protection of Shadow Guard. As the court expected, they were preparing to use the power of Wujun Navy to flee to the sea.
But just left the coast, the Donghai Punishment Army arrived. After a naval battle, the Wujun Navy lost most of the losses and had no choice but to surrender. The Donghai Punishment Army controlled the Wujun Navy and even found the head of the Ximen family and some direct tribe members, and directly escorted the Ximen tribes who were imprisoned in Jianye City to Beijing for trial.
According to the instructions issued by the cabinet, the two cities of Yichun County and Donghai County entered Wujun and merged with the troops of Wujun. Not only did they quickly suppress a small number of gathered aristocratic troops, but they also deployed the entire towns of Wujun and searched for the Ximen tribe. A group of Ximen tribes were escorted to Beijing.
His Majesty the Emperor even issued a "Ximen Crime Edict", severely denounced the rebellion of the Ximen clan and comforted the people of Wu County. This crime only punished the Ximen clan and did not hurt the people of Wu County.
Under the strong suppression of several major families led by the cabinet, Wujun, which was originally chaotic, quickly calmed down. Although there were still remaining forces in Ximen lurking, due to the tough measures of the court, they could not cause any major storms.
After consulting with the Cabinet and asking the emperor for advice, the Ximen tribe finally made a ruling.
The Ximen clan colluded with enemy countries and committed rebellion against the emperor. The evidence was conclusive. Considering that his family had been a century-old family, the three clans were destroyed, and the rest were all sent to the border to serve as hard labor.
In the final work, the cabinet did a decisive and decisive manner. The Ximen clan, who had survived in the Yan State for a hundred years, finally disappeared early due to Ximen Leizang's intentional act.
This made the major families feel relieved. If one enemy is missing, it is naturally very happy. However, when the next harsh political environment is coming, the six major families that have survived take a deep breath.
With the lessons from Bozhou County, this time the cabinet was worried that the royal family would create another person like Zhao Xiqiao, the county of Bozhou County, so while the imperial army controlled Wu County, it immediately made an official plan. After a quarrel, officials from all major families went there. The emperor obviously knew that the cabinet was powerful, and most of the new officials were taken care of, but he personally appointed two officials, who were the officials who managed the grain and salt roads of Wu County.
The grain road and the salt road are two extremely important officials. The royal family wanted to take these two positions, so the cabinet was naturally opposed at first, but the emperor was obviously a little tougher this time. The cabinet did not agree to free up these two positions, and the emperor also held the note of the appointment and removal of officials, and did not stamp the jade seal, and the stalemate began.
Obviously, the emperor is going to negotiate terms with the cabinet.
Since the Battle of Bozhou County, the entire Yan State has changed greatly without any noise.
The royal family controlled the richest Bozhou County, the richest in Yan State. Although Bozhou County also penetrated into many officials of aristocratic families with the insistence of the cabinet, the overall situation was completely controlled by the emperor. With this rich territory, although it was not too stable, the royal family already had the confidence and had the trump card to challenge the cabinet.
Before the war, the Xiao and Su families were naturally powerful, and then there were Ye and Wu families in Bozhou County. The Han family, who were in the East China Sea, ranked low among the aristocratic families. However, after that war, the Ye and Wu families disappeared, and the emperor seemed to be willing to support a new force that was enough to balance the Xiao and Su families. In the eyes of the emperor, the confrontation between the Xiao and Su families was obviously not stable enough and not fierce enough, so the Han family took advantage of the situation and slowly rose up and became the third powerful family outside the Xiao and Su families.
The major families knew the techniques of checks and balances of the royal family, but because they were concerned about their own interests and because at this time, no one dared to really challenge the imperial power on the surface, they could only continue to play in such rules of the game and continue to fight.
The imperial power and destiny are deeply rooted in people's hearts. No matter how weak the emperor is, in the eyes of most people, he is still the son of heaven and a person who exists like a god.
Without the strength that is great, any so-called powerful family can only be lip service, but they dare not violate the world's great power and easily provoke the emperor's power.
Even if he was a hero to Cao Cao, he would have been the King of Wei for his life and dare not be called emperor.
Therefore, no matter how weak the imperial power is and the emperor is incompetent, it means that it represents the son of heaven.
Even though officials of the aristocratic family are disdainful of imperial power, they still have to show enough respect for the so-called imperial power on the surface.
After all, the cabinet is a complex place, and it is also a place where there is no cohesion for power and profit. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor only lasted for two days, and the cabinet requested a letter, which was to agree to the conditions proposed by the emperor and hand over the location of the food and salt roads to the emperor for handling.
Just like a political deal, the emperor and the cabinet tacitly reached this deal.
...
Jean Qinglun, the commander of the Leopard Camp, is already fifty-three years old this year. When he was young, he was a general in the Northwest Camp. He was a famous man with all kinds of battles.
But time flies, heroes are drooping. When they get older, the remaining injuries that have occurred from time to time when they are young are still the commander of the Leopard Turf Camp, but for more than half a year of cultivation at home. Because of this, the actual management rights of the Leopard Turf Camp are in the hands of Murong He.
However, Jade Qinglun was a veteran military general. He made great achievements in the Northwest Camp and was quite famous. After being transferred to the Leopard Camp, he also rose step by step and eventually became the commander of the Leopard Camp. His prestige in the army was extremely high.
The Han family obviously also knew this and understood that this seemingly terminally ill veteran was actually the spiritual pillar of the Leopard Camp. Han Mo also understood this truth from Han Xuandao's mouth.
After obtaining the token of the Guardian lieutenant in the Ministry of Personnel's Record, Han Xince, the Minister of Rites, had already instructed Han Mo to visit Jen Qinglun's mansion first, and never neglect the veteran military because of his identity as a child of the aristocratic family.
So before Han Mo went to the Leopard Camp, he came to Jen Qinglun's mansion to pay a visit.
Jen Qinglun’s mansion is not very big, and the mansion also looks very deserted. After waiting in the lobby for a long time, he saw a servant coming out with an old man over 60 years old who was weak in his heart.
Although he was very weak, the fierce temperament of a soldier still remained on the old man. Han Mo only glanced at him and knew that this was Jade Qinglun, the commander of the Leopard Camp.
When Jade Qinglun came out to meet with guests while sick, it would be considered as giving Han Mo a great face, or giving Han family a great face.
Han Mo stepped forward and bowed to the ground, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Han Mo is in charge of the commander!"
Jade Qinglun was supported by his servant and sat down, panting, "Ahhh" twice, and the servant said, "My Lord Han is welcomed. My master is not feeling well and his strength is weak, so he can't talk often. Please forgive me!"
Han Mo stood up and said respectfully: "Han Mo understands, Han Mo understands!" He presented the gift box that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the servants and said: "This is a small meaning, it is not respectful!"
The servant didn't accept it, but said, "You are kind to you, Lord Han, you never accept any gifts. This... you'd better take it back!"
Han Mo smiled and said, "This is not a precious gift, it's just a pair of Go. I heard that the commander likes to play chess in his spare time. This Go is known by the pebbles on the bottom of the East China Sea. It is neither gold nor jade, and it is not expensive. Please accept it with the commander!"
The servant looked back at Jen Qinglun, but saw Jen Qinglun coughing without saying anything. Then he took the gift box and said respectfully: "That villain has thanked Lord Han on behalf of my master."
Jade Qinglun took out the scarf from his sleeve and wiped the edge of his mouth before he said weakly: "I... I'm not feeling well, I'm not in good health, I'm not in a good mood, I'm not in a good mood, Lord Han, don't blame me... Don't blame me..." He coughed again.
The servant hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go and see if the medicine has been boiled, and I'll bring it to you."
Jean Qinglun nodded and waited for the servants to go down, and then sighed: "No... I rely on soup and medicine to support this life... I don't know when I will go...!"
Han Mo hurriedly said: "The commander and commander are as blessed as the East China Sea, and he will definitely live a hundred years of long life!"
Jade Qinglun laughed and signaled Han Mo to sit down, then said, "It's not possible to live a hundred years old. It's a day to live... It's a day. The flowers bloom and fall, and people die, life is determined by the number of days. Forced... cannot be forced...!" After another cough, Han Mo hurried forward, holding Jade Qinglun's arm, and gently patting Jade Qinglun's back, looking like a pair of harmonious grandparents.
A trace of undetectable praise flashed through Jade Qinglun's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm an old problem... By the way, your name is Han Mo?"
Han Mo hurriedly said: "It is Han Mo who is the official position."
"Um..." Jean Qinglun panted and squinted his eyes and said, "Young man is promising... Are you still the director of the West Flower Hall?"
"I am ashamed of my humble duty!" Han Mo said respectfully.
Han Mo admires the capable people, and in Han Mo's eyes, Jade Qinglun is undoubtedly a capable person. Han Mo has always respected such a person very much.
Jean Qinglun was calm and said, "The Leopard Camp is an elite army loyal to the emperor... As long as you work hard inside, there will always be opportunities..." His voice suddenly became louder: "If anyone wants to make trouble in the Leopard Camp, hehe..."
Although he is old and weak, he is still very domineering.
Han Mo understood the meaning of this sentence, and it was obvious that Jen Qinglun was wary of Han Mo entering the Leopard Camp. After all, Han Mo was a child of a noble family and represented the interests of the Han family. His words undoubtedly warned Han Mo.
Han Mo said calmly, just smiled and said, "All officials obey the commander's orders, and they will definitely serve the court and serve the emperor!"
Jen Qinglun nodded slightly and started coughing again. At this time, the servant had already come in with the medicine and fed Jen Qinglun for half a bowl. Jen Qinglun's face was slightly better. He looked at Han Mo and said, "The disease of tigers and wolfs requires the medicine of tigers and wolfs... If you lead troops in the future, you should remember that only tigers and wolfs-like generals can train tigers and wolfs-like soldiers...!"
Han Mo said sincerely: "Thank you, the commander, for your teachings, and I hope the commander will give you more advice in the future!"
"Some things need to be pondered slowly by yourself." Jean Qinglun said slowly, glanced at Han Mo, and suddenly asked, "You can play Go?"
"Can some!"
"Go is the military path on the chess board!" Jean Qinglun said lightly: "It is unpredictable, gods and ghosts are unpredictable. You can live a chess alive, and you can die a chess alive... The change of reality depends on the thoughts of the chess player."
Han Mo listened carefully and did not interrupt, but he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something in Jade Qinglun's words, and the so-called "dead chess can live, but alive chess can die", seemed to have other meanings.
Jiang is still so spicy, and after all, it seems that she is still warning herself.
