Although he really wanted to kill Wang Songhe to vent his anger, Chen Zongchang, the commander-in-chief of Anqing, had just died at the hands of the Fengwu Army. If he killed Wang Songhe again, the Zhennan Army would be leaderless in Anqing. Self-danger fell into chaos, which Xu Zhaojie did not want to see...
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie has not taken action for a long time. He is just waiting for this secret inspection of Anqing to capture Wang Songhe and select a good general to serve as the commander-in-chief of Anqing's Zhennan Army. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses here.
Although this was the idea at first, Xu Zhaojie was quite satisfied after secretly coming to Chengfeng County to inspect the defense work of the surrounding Zhennan Army. At the same time, after hearing a lot about Wang Songhe, he also had a certain understanding of Wang Songhe. All changed for the better.
In addition, more than a month had passed since the murder of Chen Zongchang, and the anger in Xu Zhaojie's heart had also weakened. Therefore, based on comprehensive considerations, Xu Zhaojie decided to give Wang Songhe another chance. After all, if he killed Wang Songhe, he would not be able to kill Wang Songhe in a short time. No more suitable candidate could be found.
Even if a confidant is transferred from his side to take over the post of General Soldier in Anqing, it will take time to understand Anqing's current military deployment and personnel structure, and the current situation does not allow much time.
Therefore, from a rational point of view, Xu Zhaojie's best choice is to keep Wang Songhe and let him serve his crime. This is also the reason why Xu Zhaojie is so kind and charming to him now.
Looking at the calm Xu Zhaojie, Wang Songhe seemed to have remembered something. He hesitated for a moment and then said to Xu Zhaojie:
"Commander, the gang of bastards in the Fengwu Army Coordination Office are very rampant. When Commander-in-Chief Chen was in charge, he launched several operations to wipe them out. Although the operations achieved some results, they were never able to uproot them. Your Excellency, It is very likely that they will learn the news about the frontline inspection now..."
Hearing Wang Songhe's reminder, Xu Zhaojie was not surprised at all, and then said calmly:
"I just want Ye Mingsheng to know that I'm here!"
After saying this, Xu Zhaojie ignored Wang Songhe's surprise, turned around and continued to look at Ji Yu's gaze, while his hands that were shrunk in his sleeves were tightly grasped.
Seven days ago, a commander under the Zhennan Army was found to have collusion with the Coordination Office. Although Xu Zhaojie was very angry at the beginning, he did not take it as a big deal. He only thought that he had received money and benefits from the Coordination Office and was dragged into the situation by the Coordination Office. Become a hidden stake in the Coordination Office.
But later, after being severely tortured on this person, Xu Zhaojie learned that this person had been a member of the Coordination Office since he followed him in the army in Anqing. He was ordered by the Coordination Office to secretly follow him to gather information. Yes, and the Coordination Office like him has also placed many people in the Zhennan Army!
After learning about this matter, Xu Zhaojie suddenly realized while being angry. No wonder he always felt that Ye Mingsheng was one step ahead of him every time, and always held him back just right. It turned out that he had brewed his own Zhennan Army. It has been infiltrated into a sieve by the unified coordination office!
Realizing this, the anger in Xu Zhaojie's heart could not be increased. He found that the more he tolerated it, the more unscrupulous Ye Mingsheng became. Let's not talk about the past grudges. Let's talk about the recent period. Ye Mingsheng first sent people to I blew off two of my fingers and turned myself into a cripple...
Then he also exported firearms to Jiangnan to create obstacles for his next plan. Finally, he sent people to ambush and kill his confidants. Each of these, one by one, was like a slap on Xu Zhaojie's face. superior!
Originally, in order to plot Jiangnan, Xu Zhaojie also planned to endure the provocation of Fengwu Army for a period of time, waiting to capture Jiangnan and improve his strength before settling the accounts with Fengwu Army!
However, when he thinks that his forbearance will not buy him the time he wants, it will only make Ye Mingsheng think that he is a soft persimmon and become more and more unscrupulous. In addition, after experiencing these things, Zhennan Army also has internal dissatisfaction with Fengwu Army. The anger increased sharply, and after taking Huainan, the Zhennan Army was very confident in its own strength, so they were eager to have a chance with the Fengwu Army.
Regarding the rising aspirations of these people, although Xu Zhaojie also wanted to fight with the Fengwu Army, for the sake of the overall situation, he still used his own prestige to suppress it. Although he could still suppress it, Xu Zhaojie could also clearly feel that the Zhennan Army The internal sentiment of wanting to kill Fengwu Army was increasing rapidly, so for the sake of his own rule, he could not continue to suppress it like this.
At the same time, Shangguan Hongyuan put more and more pressure on him, and even proposed that if Xu Zhaojie did not launch an offensive from Jiyu, they would stop the supply of firearms to the Zhennan Army.
Although he resented Shangguan Hongyuan's threat to him, Xu Zhaojie also understood that he still needed Shangguan Hongyuan's help before the firearms currently developed by him were put into large-scale production. Therefore, under internal and external pressure, Xu Zhaojie finally made up his mind. , I want to have a clash with the Fengwu Army here.
Looking at the clouds on the horizon, Xu Zhaojie felt so powerful in his heart at this time that he even thought of how to kill Ye Mingsheng with his hands... ·········

Governor's Palace
In Ye Cui's house, the sound of reciting scriptures could be heard.
"Go deep into the bodhisattva's dharma treasure, obtain the Buddha's Flower Adornment Samadhi, and preach and speak all the sutras. Staying at the deep concentration gate, you can see countless Buddhas in the present. In a moment of thought, they are all around. It relieves all dramas and difficulties, and all leisure is not idle. Differentiate and reveal the truth. In this situation, I gained the wisdom of Tathagata's eloquence..."
Ms. Ye Cui leaned back in her chair with her eyes slightly closed, listening carefully to the scriptures in her ears, while beside her, Murong Qingwu was patiently reading to her mother-in-law.
The scripture that Murong Qingwu was reciting at this time was called "The Sutra of No-Phase Longevity". It was one of the Three Pure Land Sutras. It recorded the past events of Amitabha Buddha's spiritual practice. It was one of Ye Cui's favorite scriptures. Within a few days, When the time comes, Mrs. Ye Cui will take it out and review it.
Listening to Murong Qingwu talking about the key points, Ye Cui, who is familiar with the scriptures, couldn't help but whisper:
So what? The Tathagata's calm wisdom is infinitely smooth. Be at ease with all dharmas. Ananda listen carefully, I will tell you now. "
After reading this paragraph, Mrs. Ye Cui opened her eyes, looked at Murong Qingwu and said kindly:
"Qing Wu, you are destined to be my Buddha!"
Facing Ye Cui's gaze, Murong Qingwu said obediently:
"Mom, you are ridiculous. Qingwu is stupid by nature, so how can he be destined to be a Buddha!"
Ye Cui smiled and shook her head when she heard this. She thought it was Murong Qingwu's self-effacement. For Murong Qingwu, the daughter-in-law, she, the mother-in-law, liked her more and more. This was not just because Murong Qingwu was Murong Qingwu. The legitimate daughters of the family, even more because they have the same interests and hobbies!
Because she was born in the Cui family, a scholarly family, Ye Cui was deeply influenced by the family when she was not married. She liked reading and writing poems very much. However, because she was a daughter, she was not trained by the family. She waited until she married into the Ye family. After that, there was no such environment anymore...
Ye Cui thought this was a regret in her life, but the appearance of Murong Qingwu rekindled the talent in her heart!
Encouraged by Murong Qingwu, Ye Cui also plucked up the courage to write poems and lyrics to study Buddhist scriptures with Murong Qingwu. During this process, Ye Cui increasingly felt that she and Murong Qingwu had similar interests. The relationship was also extremely heated, and even Mrs. Ye Cui began to feel pity for Murong Qingwu.
With Murong Qingwu's background, character, and talent, she can definitely be his son's wife. Now, just being a concubine is completely humiliating her talent!
After having this idea in her mind, Ye Cui also began to compare Murong Qingwu and An Miaoyi unconsciously.
First of all, in terms of background, An Miaoyi was born in the Hou An family of Kunshan. Although it was also a powerful family, compared with the Murong family, which was at the core of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it may be an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference. Some, but the gap is also very large.
Secondly, in terms of character, Mrs. Ye Cui felt that Murong Qingwu and An Miaoyi were both good and virtuous children. However, compared with Murong Qingwu's reputation as a talented girl, An Miao was once rumored to be the reincarnation of Bao Si and brought disaster to the country and the people. It's a bit worse. After all, according to traditional concepts, being famous is not a good thing for a woman! Especially for a doctor!
When An Miaoyi first married Ye Mingsheng, Ye Cui was a little uncomfortable with An Miaoyi because of this incident. However, because Ye Mingsheng was only the first-term general of the army at that time, and An Miaoyi was the direct daughter of the Marquis of Kunshan, Ye Mingsheng married her at a high level, and with the relationship with the Cui family, Ye Cui didn't say anything... ·
Originally, after such a long time, Ye Cui gradually forgot about this matter. However, with the increasing power in Ye Mingsheng's hands and the appearance of Murong Qingwu, Ye Cui recalled this matter from time to time, and she still felt more or less like it. Somewhat grudge!
As for what she wants, if Mrs. Ye Cui was completely on An Miaoyi's side before, now Mrs. Ye Cui takes a more neutral attitude when it comes to the relationship between the Cui family.
In addition to the increasingly good relationship between her and Murong Qingwu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there is also her slight dissatisfaction with An Miaoyi. Ever since Murong Qingwu came to accompany him to study Buddhist scriptures, Mrs. Ye Cui could always hear the secrets and secrets of the people around her. After saying good things to An Miaoyi, she soon discovered that An Miaoyi would give money to the maidservant beside her for serving her well.
At first she thought An Miaoyi was being filial to her and didn't think much about it, but soon she realized that things were not that simple. Although she had some doubts, because An Miaoyi grew up brightly, Ye Cui also It's hard to say anything, except to tell An Miaoyi to stop giving money to people around her.
After experiencing all this, Mrs. Ye Cui also began to feel that An Miaoyi might be a bit scheming, but as a person who has experienced it, she can understand An Miaoyi's thoughts to some extent. After all, Murong Qingwu herself is impeccable in all aspects. She gave An Miaoyi Miaoyi was under too much pressure.
Generally speaking, although she likes Murong Qingwu very much, because of the relationship between the Cui family and Ye Jingren, the eldest grandson, Ye Cui does not intend to side with Murong Qingwu... ···············
After studying some Buddhist scriptures with Ye Cui, and then eating a vegetarian meal with Ye Cui, Murong Qingwu took the Buddhist scriptures and left.
After walking out of the yard and looking at the maid Ying'er standing not far away, Murong Qingwu really relaxed. She took the thick scripture from Murong Qingwu's hand and Ying'er said softly:
"Ma'am, thank you for your hard work today!"
Murong Qingwu sighed softly when she heard this. To be honest, she didn't like writing poems, composing poems and studying scriptures with Ye Cui in her heart!
The first thing to do is to write poems and compose poems. Although Ye Cui had some foundation back then, after decades, there really wasn’t much left. Although the poems she writes now are not nonsense, for Murong Qingwu, the world’s most famous person, For a talented woman, it is also very difficult to attract attention.
However, in order to please Ye Cui, Murong Qingwu could only say that Ye Cui's writing was good without conscience. What made Murong Qingwu most painful was that she guided Ye Cui to write poems and poems. On the one hand, she had to be careful To take care of Ye Cui's emotions, on the one hand, we must make our opinions as simple and understandable as possible so that an old woman like Ye Cui can understand.
Murong Qingwu had never done this kind of errand in the decades before. She was the legitimate daughter of the Murong family, and she had always been asked to please others. When had she ever been so humble and courteous to please others, so she hid behind the scenes several times? I cried secretly under the quilt, feeling very aggrieved and wanted to give up. I didn’t want to embarrass myself anymore, but in the end I persisted...
In addition to writing poems and poems, studying Buddhist scriptures is also a torture for Murong Qingwu. Compared with Buddhism, Murong Qingwu admires Taoism more, but in order to please Ye Cui, Murong Qingwu can only pretend to be very interested in Buddhism. Looking interested, he accompanied Ye Cui to study Buddhist scriptures with great interest.
Although Murong Qingwu felt very painful and depressed during the time she spent with Ye Cui, she felt that her efforts had paid off, and Ye Cui's impression of her was getting better and better, and she even began to hint to herself, In the competition with An Miaoyi, she, the mother-in-law, will be fair and just, and the two will not help each other!
Realizing this, Murong Qingwu was also very excited. She had never thought about letting Ye Cui support her in the competition with An Miaoyi. After all, she had the relationship between the Cui family and Ye Jingren, her direct grandson. , the relationship between An Miaoyi and Ye Cui is obviously closer.
Therefore, as long as Ye Cui really doesn't interfere, it will be the greatest victory!
Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu felt a little comforted in her heart. At this moment, Murong Qingwu heard Ying'er calling her softly, so she subconsciously looked ahead and saw a man dressed dignifiedly not far away, but with an expression on his face. A delicate and charming woman is holding a child and leading a group of maids towards her...
