146: Su Xinyi Didn’t Understand the Prince’s Intention

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Su Xinyi thought and slowly spoke, "Brother, what are your plans after returning to Beijing this time?"

Su Yi didn't understand what his sister meant for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously, "What do you want to say?"

Su Xinyi smiled, "This time, brother first followed Lord Yang to sneak attack the grain and grass and made great contributions, and then followed the order of Commander Guo to pursue the enemy. Although it was a pity to turn back due to heavy rain, he also cut off many enemy heads along the way. After returning to Beijing, he will definitely reward them for their merits.

Su Yi listened to his sister's words and said, "These are all military matters, it's hard to say now."

Although everyone was quite friendly during the war, everyone had their own opinions on merits after the war.

Su Yi was familiar with Yang Jin about the sneak attack on grain and grass, so Commander Guo asked him to go out with Yang Jin, not only to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also to share a share of military merits.

Guo Meng was a cunning old man. Why did he send himself to act with Yang Jin? The main reason was that he had been seconded by the Eastern Palace and had some friendship with Yang Jin.

Su Yi is no longer as simple and foolish as he was before. He has grown up after being thrown out by his sister for training several times.

"Do you still want to stay in the Imperial Guard?" Su Xinyi asked back.

Su Yi looked at his sister in surprise, "Where else to go?"

Su Xinyi and her brother stared at each other. Su Yi was confused, but Su Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She and her brother had completely different ideas. They thought about things from different angles, so they saw different prospects.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "Brother, the Imperial Guard is indeed the emperor's personal guard, but it can only be trapped in the imperial city. Unless you can be particularly outstanding in front of His Majesty, it is not easy to get promoted. It is rare to be transferred to the border city this time."

"Being the emperor's personal guard is a good job that many people can't ask for. Why do you still dislike it?" Su Yi said with a smile.

"It's not that I dislike you, I just have an idea that I want to discuss with you." Su Xinyi didn't know how to start for a while, and couldn't help showing some hesitation on her face.

Su Yi said with a smile: "Then just say it directly, there is nothing we can't say between brothers and sisters."

"Okay, I'll tell you directly, do you want to be a rich and idle person in the capital for the rest of your life, and spend the rest of your life in the Imperial Guards with a mediocre official position, or do you want to go to a higher level."

"What you said, of course I want to earn a decent future." Su Yi took a breath, "I know that after the fourth uncle left, people outside think that the Duke of Qi's Mansion is going to decline, but I don't want to just accept it, and I want to give it a try."

People outside say that they are honest and loyal, which is good to hear. Many people ridicule them behind their backs that although they are members of the Su family, they don't have the bones of the Su family and are useless.

After Su Xinyi knew what his brother was thinking, he made up his mind and told him about the establishment of the caravan this time.

Su Yi: ...

He can't see anyone, but the sixth sister is making trouble in a place he doesn't know.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at her and sighed, "Does the courage of our Su family grow on you? You dare to do such a thing?"

This is not something that can be thought of, it has already been done!

Su Xinyi smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard her elder brother's words. If she had the courage in her previous life, how could she end up like that.

She is not full of courage, she has clearly learned from her life after suffering a lot.

"Brother, you also said before that after the war, the commanders of the various guards, the five military governors' offices, and the adults in the Ministry of War will have a share. Although this is a victory, how much credit can you get after it is divided up by everyone?"

The greatest credit for fighting the war is naturally the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and then the commanders of various routes, and the commanders have their own capable soldiers and generals. For people like his elder brother, even if he has made great contributions, there are not many who will be divided up by all parties.

Fortunately, Su Yi has the title of Su family and has the merit of going to war with Yang Jin, so his share will not be divided too much.

So it is not good to be a small shrimp at the bottom all the time. You have to find a way to move up. The title of the prince of the Duke of Qi is still useful among the nobles, but how much weight does it have in the army?

In the army, only the record can make people convinced!

Even if the Su family has a foundation in the army, if Su Yi is an incompetent, as time goes by, these people will slowly change their flags and join a wise leader. This is human nature.

If the eldest brother has no ambitions, he can slowly gain experience in the Imperial Guards. When he is older and when Commander Guo retires, with the support of the Su family, the eldest brother can also become a commander or a commander-in-chief, but what's the point of that? In the final analysis, if he can't convince the people, he can't sit steadily, and it's hard to say whether he will be overthrown in the future.

After the two siblings had such a heart-to-heart talk, Su Yi looked at his sister and said, "Do you want me to manage the caravan you set up?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "This matter is very risky, and we must have our own people to feel at ease. Not only me, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Rong will probably do the same. Whoever sits on this position, given Prince Rong's love of competing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely compete. If His Royal Highness Prince Rong's people take power, wouldn't I be working hard to make things easier for others? That is definitely not okay."

Su Yi nodded, "His Royal Highness Prince Rong does like to compare with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"So none of the people of Prince Rong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are suitable to sit there. If I recommend my elder brother, I'm sure Prince Rong will not object. In addition, my elder brother has been borrowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and he has a good impression of my elder brother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not object either. And I trust my elder brother even more, so I thought about it and spoke to my elder brother."

Su Xinyi paused slightly when she said this, "This matter is not a big deal at the moment, but if the Tatar tribes invade the border again in the future, the things in your hands will surely be amazing, and the Su family will be honored again because of your elder brother."

Su Yi: ...

He looked at his sixth sister who was talking confidently at this time, as if he saw his fourth uncle at the beginning. At that time, he was still young. Once his fourth uncle came to his father to discuss the expedition, and his fourth uncle was also so high-spirited and full of vigor, and everything was under control.

He still clearly remembers his fourth uncle's confident, arrogant, but calm face, which is a character he will never have but yearns for.

But now that his sixth sister told him that he could become such a person, Su Yi was moved.

He knew that he was a bit hesitant by nature, and he was hesitant when doing things. Others said that he was honest, but he knew that he was indecisive.

His father had such a temper. He grew up with his father and naturally learned from his father, but now he wanted to change.

"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you, do it!" Su Yi gritted his teeth and said.

Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing when he saw his big brother's heroic act, and Su Yi laughed with embarrassment.

Things sound simple, but it's really not easy to do. It can't be done in a day or two.

How can Su Yi get out of the Imperial Guards and divorce, and how can he take over this matter in a logical way, and not attract attention and have a suitable name, and be in charge of an unusual caravan, this is also a place that Su Yi needs to learn.

As the two siblings discussed, Su Xinyi suddenly thought of Shang Junyan. Although he was a mess in the inner house, he was a good official. It was a pity that the two of them had different ideas, otherwise it would be a great help to dig him up to be the deputy of the eldest brother.

What a pity.

Talents are hard to find these days, and Su Xinyi finally understands what it feels like to be eager to find talents.

On the other hand, Yan Junchu was about to set off to return to the capital. This time, escorting grain and grass was his job. Unexpectedly, he borrowed a little east wind from Su Xinyi and got the credit of intercepting the enemy's grain and grass, which indirectly led to the enemy's defeat. This time he returned to the capital with great glory.

Prince Rong felt very wronged. Not only did he not borrow any east wind, but he also had to work like a cow and a horse for the prince and Su Xinyi. He was simply crying in the wind, with thousands of tears.

Su Xinyi's contribution this time was testified by the crown prince and Prince Rong, and no one dared to snatch her. However, she had no official organization and was just a householder. Zhu Pengzu was also troubled about how to reward her for this contribution, especially since Su Xinyi was Su Chun's daughter, and Su Chun was in the emperor's heart. She died on the battlefield to defend her country. It was unknown how much weight Su Chun had in his heart, but it was heavier than that of ordinary people.

After several considerations, these people all became dumb, pushed the matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, complained about their difficulties, and finally expressed their intentions and waited for His Majesty's decision.

Su Xinyi was not surprised by such a result. What surprised her was that Prince Rong was so angry that he was about to jump up and down.

"These old guys are more shameless than each other!"

Su Xinyi:...

After King Rong had scolded her enough, she looked at him and said, "This is human nature. I am not a soldier, and I am not under their jurisdiction."

"If you hadn't risked your life, would this war have ended so quickly?"

Su Xinyi was heartbroken when she heard this. Although she was also happy that Southern Qi had fewer casualties, this was completely different from her original ambition to come to the border.

She buried herself in a pit, and she couldn't feel wronged. What a thing.

Maybe she was too unlucky in her previous life, and God took pity on her in this life. Her luck was better, so she ran into the enemy's grain transport team.

Although she still felt regretful, the time was not right now, so she could only return to Beijing with regret and wait for the future.

Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Her father had no chance to implement the idea in his handwriting, but she would do it for him.

Just like this time, the caravan went deep into the grassland tribes, which was originally an idea of ​​his father, but he died for the country before he had time to make detailed arrangements.

"As long as it is beneficial to the court and the people, these are nothing." Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong and smiled, "What's more, your majesty favors the Duke of Qi's Mansion and rewards him every year. Our Su family is bathed in the grace of heaven and blessed by your majesty. It is the mission of the Su family to serve your majesty and die for him."

Prince Rong was moved. He really didn't see that Su Xinyi had such a tough temper. Even though he grew up in the countryside, he was a descendant of the Su family. This loyalty was so touching. When he returned to the capital, he would talk to his father.

"Humph, you are kind-hearted." Prince Rong gritted his teeth. Yes, she was generous to everyone except him. She was cruel, fierce and unreasonable. She would fight him if she disagreed. It was simply unreasonable.

Su Xinyi:...

Don't think she can't hear that he was mocking her!

"Do you want to go back to the capital with me?" Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi and asked again.

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about it.

Seeing Su Xinyi's expression, Prince Rong immediately said: "Hey, you won't go with the army. It's so inconvenient for you as a woman."

"Then it's not convenient for me to go back to the capital with the prince." Su Xinyi refused. With the Queen's temper, if she went back to the capital with Prince Rong, she might disgust her in a roundabout way.

She would never give the Queen a chance for such a depressing thing.

Didn't she suffer enough at the hands of the Queen in her previous life?

"Then you want to go back to Beijing with the Prince?" Prince Rong almost jumped up. He didn't understand why Su Xinyi's eyes were crooked. She looked at him as a wolf and a tiger, and looked at the Prince as Guanyin descending to the earth. This is more than just partiality. Her heart has been crooked since her mother's womb.

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? Don't I have legs? I will go back the same way I came!"

Prince Rong was furious when he heard this. She was sensible. As long as she didn't go with the Prince, it would be fine.

"We will leave tomorrow. The rest of the caravan will have to go back to Beijing. Don't worry." Prince Rong reminded awkwardly.

Su Xinyi smiled, "I'm not in a hurry. After all, His Majesty is having a hard time, and this matter depends on Your Majesty."

Prince Rong's words sounded pleasant, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry."

Su Xinyi smiled even more harmlessly.

She was relieved, but she was afraid that the Queen would have a hard time if she knew about Prince Rong.

However, as long as the Queen was unhappy, Su Xinyi would be happy.

Su Xinyi said goodbye to Prince Rong and returned to the courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the prince sitting in the courtyard, looking at him in surprise, "Why is your highness here?"

Yan Junchu turned his head to look at Su Xinyi, "I'm going back to the capital, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Su Xinyi smiled. See, this is the difference between His Royal Highness the Prince and Prince Rong. His Royal Highness the Prince would not ask her to go back to the capital together. She always felt that it was easy to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he would not make her feel pressured.

"Then I wish your highness a safe journey." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Yan Junchu stood up, walked slowly to her, and looked down at her, "I will let Pang Lan stay to take care of the caravan here temporarily, and the person who takes over this matter here will listen to Pang Lan's arrangements directly."

Su Xinyi looked at the Crown Prince with some surprise, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, let's wait for His Majesty's approval for this matter."

This matter is big or small, it depends on how His Majesty handles it.

Su Xinyi didn't want to implicate the Crown Prince, so he refused.

"It doesn't matter, although this matter is not open to the public, it is indeed a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I will convince my father." Yan Junchu wanted to laugh when he saw Su Xinyi's tangled expression. He always didn't understand why she always wanted to protect him.

He was not a good person, but he always wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of her.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"See you in the capital. Don't worry on the way back to the capital. Safety is the most important thing."

Su Xinyi bowed her head and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Junchu's eyes turned over her, and then he walked away.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief after the prince left. Although she knew why, she didn't dare to look up and look at the prince before. The feeling was very subtle and made her a little upset.

Zhan Qiao and the others were busy and disappeared. One reason was because of the caravan, and the other was to return to the capital. Su Xinyi was free.

When the night fell, she jumped onto the roof, lay on the tiles and stared at the night sky. She hadn't been so leisurely for a long time.

She could still hear the sound of people walking and talking on the street. Every word was accompanied by laughter. She listened to their laughter and laughed along.

The stars in the sky twinkled, making people's eyes sore.

"When will we return to Yulinwei? I don't know how the crops in the fields are doing."

"It won't be a drought for a while. Before leaving, the girl left a letter to the neighbors asking them to help take care of it. It should be fine."

"Tian Zao, if we join the army, we will no longer be dependent households. Who will farm our land?"

"I don't know." Tian Zao said, "We will listen to the garrison when the time comes."

In theory, dependent households should be recruited from the clan, but the two are all single, and there is no one in the clan. Tian Zao doesn't know what to do about this.

Su Xinyi heard what the two said on the roof and looked at them, "It doesn't matter. If there are no clan members to recruit, the garrison will send other dependent households to you. You will never starve."

The two were shocked. Who would have thought that the girl would be on the roof.

Tian Zao Zao said: "Miss, what are you doing on the roof? You scared people."

Su Xinyi supported herself and jumped down, looking at the two and said: "Zhan Qiao has already said hello to Mr. Pang. You can go directly to Yulinwei. As for military merits and rewards, you have to wait."

Tian Zao nodded, "Don't worry, wait until we send the girl away before going to Yulinwei."

These days, many people in Zhangping Prefecture seem to be trying to get close to them. Tian Zao knows that these people don't really value them, but see the people behind them.

If it were someone who likes to make money, I don't know how happy he would be, but for Tian Zao, it would be better to go to Yulinwei for peace.

Tian Zao was still too optimistic. Even if the merits he made this time were returned to Yulinwei, it would be a new beginning for them. Whether it was the Duke of Qi's Mansion standing behind them or the relationship with the Eastern Palace this time, it would be good or bad for them. It all depends on how they act.

Su Xinyi knew that the prince was going back to Beijing, but she didn't expect that the prince would take Prince Rong with him. On the day of his departure, officials from Zhangping Prefecture went out of the city to see him off, but Su Xinyi didn't go. It was not appropriate for her to show up at such an occasion.

When the prince and Prince Rong left, Zhu Pengzu also prepared to return to Beijing. Before leaving, Su Xinyi sent Tian Zao and Bao Datong away. Bao Datong cried so miserably that Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing.

Tian Zao dragged the person away with a dark face, walked a few steps and then turned back. When he saw the girl still standing there looking at them, he pursed his lips and then raised his riding crop and left with Bao Datong.

Once the two of them left, what was left was that Mu Xing and Cao Qing continued to stay here to prepare the caravan. Mu Xing also had to go back to Jing'an Mansion to find an expert who knew business and to build a business team. Team, things are troublesome and complicated. Although I have a large amount of money left by the sixth girl in my hand, I still feel heavy in my heart.

Cao Qing and Mu Xing set foot on the road to Jing'an Mansion, and Su Xinyi took Zhanqiao back to Beijing.

On the same day they left, Zhu Pengzu also set off with his army, and Su Yi was also among the army. Although he knew that his sister had some abilities, he was still worried about the safety on the road, and he would not be able to put it down until he reached the capital.

It was already late autumn when she returned from early summer. Su Xinyi's return to the city was not as hurried as her arrival. She and Zhan Qiao also took a detour to their hometown in Huaining, and specially bought local rituals from the border town to bring to everyone. go.

Mrs. Fang happily held Su Xinyi's hand when she saw her and kept asking after her. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tuesday also heard about things in the border town, so they inevitably asked Su Xinyi a few questions when they saw her.

The Third Old Master, Uncle Su, and Second Master Su met Su Xinyi in the study room, and Su Xinyi greeted them politely.

The third old man looked at Su Xinyi and asked a few questions about the situation of Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guards. After listening to Su Xinyi's words, he said: "When the war started, the surrounding guards were preparing for the war, the government was collecting food, and the military preparations department was rushing to make weapons. At that time Everyone thought it was a fierce battle, but they didn’t expect it to end so quickly.”

Su Xinyi felt a little embarrassed, and then he calmed down and said: "Yes, everyone thought so at the beginning, but we didn't expect that the situation on the grassland was worse than we expected, and the gathering of the Tatar army was not like it was just a pretense. But we really want to attack the border city in one go. First attack the Yulin Guards, and then attack the Zhangping Prefecture. The situation is indeed very serious. "

Thinking about it now, Su Xinyi felt that what happened was really surprising. Firstly, it was a natural disaster, and secondly, the Tatars were too confident, thinking that by gathering hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they could take down Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guards in one fell swoop. Thinking of Su Xinyi, a few people took them by surprise at Guanshan Pass.

At the beginning, Su Xinyi did not expect that the enemy's food and grass would be so easily encountered by her. Although she had thought about this possibility before, she only thought about it.

If it were anyone else, he might not have such good luck, but Su Xinyi had his father's letters in his hands, and the map as a guide, and his courage and luck led to a quick victory in this war.

After hearing what Su Xinyi said, Mr. Su laughed loudly, looked at his father and said, "This is the luck of our Su family. Xinyi is worthy of being the fourth daughter of Su Lao Si and the root of our Su family."

Mr. Su Er also nodded, sighed, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Your father would be happy if he were still here."

Su Xinyi didn't know if her father would be happy, but she knew that this was what she could do at the moment. If she did it, she would have no regrets.

"Xin Yi, there is one more thing. Your eldest cousin and third cousin are going to the capital."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment after hearing what his uncle in the lobby said, and then asked: "Really? But what's going on in the capital?"

She was worried about something happening at home.

"No." Mr. Su waved his hand, "I was summoned by the East Palace. Do you know about this?"

Su Xinyi was stunned, East Palace?

She didn't hear His Highness the Crown Prince mention this matter, and shook her head slightly, "I don't know about this, and I really can't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince asked the two cousins ​​to go to the capital."
