In Yang Haiyan's ordinary life, Han Zhen's family was transferred back to the capital. At the same time, the struggle between the princes also kicked off.
Now it is the tenth year of Changping, the eldest prince is sixteen years old, the second prince is fifteen years old, the third prince and the fourth prince are fourteen years old. The princes are at the age of marriage, and the princes' marriage is not only about marriage, but also represents the beginning of pulling forces.
In the past five years, it's not that no one has tried to pull Qin Fang, but no matter who came to pull Qin Fang, Qin Fang would tell the emperor everything, so no one dared to pull Qin Fang anymore.
Du Mansion
Du Ke is now the Minister of War. He looked at the only student in front of him and said, "You have been in the position of commander for five or six years. Have you ever thought about moving?"
Qin Fang: "No, this position is good. I was born in the countryside and don't understand the rules of the court. This position, which does not require attending court and not following too many rules, is very suitable for me. However... I am planning to leave the court recently."
Du Ke thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the matter of establishing a crown prince? What do you think about this matter? If you want to leave the court, this position must be taken by someone, and the emperor... may not agree."
Qin Fang said, "My grandfather is sick, and I haven't been home for five years, so I have to go back."
"Is it really because of the old man's illness?" Du Ke stared at Qin Fang carefully, but couldn't tell whether it was true or not. This student is not as simple as he was five years ago. However, Qin Fang has a good quality that he does not have, and that others do not have, which is that he is not obsessed with officialdom. "If you resign, is there anyone who can take over the position temporarily?"
Qin Fang said: "Yes, Han Zhen."
Du Ke: "General Han who was just transferred back last month?"
Qin Fang said: "Yes, I believe Han Zhen can be competent for this position."
Du Ke laughed: "You have thought about it, so let's not talk about this. Who do you think is most likely to be appointed as the crown prince among the princes?"
Qin Fang shook his head, but remembered his wife's words. About half a year ago, his wife suddenly told him about the origin of the second prince. His wife said that she heard it from others and she didn't know whether it was true or not. Thinking of this, Qin Fang said, "Teacher, I heard some news about the second prince."
Du Ke raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What news?"
This is a royal secret history, but Du Ke was very kind to Qin Fang, so after Qin Fang thought it through, he still said: "...The second prince is the biological son of Queen Shen."
Du Ke just smiled and didn't react much.
Qin Fang saw this and knew that his teacher might have known it a long time ago.
Du Ke did know it a long time ago, but he didn't tell Qin Fang. He didn't tell Qin Fang for Qin Fang's own good. This kind of thing, knowing it itself is a burden.
Qin Mansion
Yang Haiyan is entertaining Yang Dahua. To be honest, it is great that Han Zhen's family can come to Beijing. Yang Haiyan has few friends in Beijing. Her circle is only Sister Du, Sister Du and Qu. Besides, she never interacts with others. Every step in Beijing is thrilling, and something could go wrong if you are not careful, so she would rather not interact with others. Besides, it is enough to get together with Sister Du and others occasionally. In ancient times, life was not very colorful.
To be honest, after returning to Beijing, her favorite way to kill time is to read picture books.
Yang Dahua has changed a lot now. From a poor, illiterate, and uncultured maid, she has become a general's wife for several years. But no matter how she changes, the love in her eyes when she sees Yang Haiyan is real.
Today is Yang Dahua's first visit to the Qin Mansion. Han Zhen came to the capital last month first. After settling down in the capital, he brought Yang Dahua and the children here. So Yang Dahua only arrived a few days ago. After adapting at home for a few days, she came to the Qin Mansion today.
The children are playing outside. It is easy for children of eight or nine years old to play together. Yang Dahua has given birth to three children in total in these years. The first one is a daughter, and the next two are boys. With both sons and daughters, she has nothing to ask for. In addition, Han Zhen's backyard is clean, so she has lived a very comfortable life in recent years.
Seeing Yang Haiyan, she looked her up and down, then sighed: "Ten years have passed, and Haiyan is still the same as before, as if she has not changed at all." She is still so beautiful, and her skin is still so good. Time has been very kind to her. Unlike herself, I am almost thirty years old, and I am not as good as I was when I was a little girl.
Yang Haiyan looked at Yang Dahua, and the smile in her eyes was genuine: "No, it takes effort, maintenance and exercise every day to maintain it. But Sister Dahua has also changed a lot. In fact, we have all changed, and we have all changed for the better."
Yang Dahua looked at the children playing outside: "Before, I never thought that I could be a good citizen, and then, I never thought that I could be a general's wife, and then, I never thought that I could return to the capital. But it's good to return to the capital, and I have a sister like you here."
This is the truth.
In fact, Yang Haiyan is also happy that Yang Dahua is back, and she has a friend, a friend she can walk around with without worry. "Sister Dahua, I have compiled a booklet about some interpersonal relationships in the capital. I think you may need it. You have just returned to the capital, so you should pay attention to everything."
Yang Dahua was very moved when she heard it: "Thank you, Haiyan, I will not be polite then."
Yang Dahua sat here for a long time and left with the children. After Yang Dahua left, Qin Fang came back from the Du Mansion.
"It's rare for you to come back so early today." Yang Haiyan poured him a cup of tea.
Qin Fang said, "Well, I didn't go to the Beijing Suburban Command Camp today. I went to the Du Mansion and talked to the teacher."
Yang Haiyan asked, "Are you really going to leave the court? You are only thirty years old and have a bright future." She still remembered Qin Fang's career ambition and that this man was ambitious, but now he told her that he planned to leave the court and return to his hometown, so Yang Haiyan was very surprised.
Qin Fang said: "Now the country is peaceful, I am dispensable, so why don't you go back to accompany your family? However, if the country needs me, the border needs me, I will come back without hesitation. Besides, I used to have a heroic dream, I wanted to be a high official, I wanted to make a lot of money, now I have money, I have tried the officialdom, so I no longer miss everything here. Besides, the fight for the throne has begun, the capital will not be peaceful, I don't want you to We are involved in this."
Yang Haiyan knew that Qin Fang was a sensible man. She had never thought that he would think so clearly now: "What if the emperor disagrees?"
Qin Fang said: "Can the emperor still stop me from fulfilling my filial piety? Besides, the emperor is now in his prime, the throne is stable, the country is stable, so I am not irreplaceable." The emperor has all the power and his pockets are full, so it really doesn't matter whether Qin Fang is there or not. A few years ago, when the emperor had just ascended the throne, the people's hearts were still unstable. At that time, the emperor thought Qin Fang was lucky, so he hoped that he would work by his side. Now, he no longer needs to borrow this luck.
Of course, if Qin Fang had stayed, he would have been happy, but if Qin Fang wanted to leave, he would not force him, after all, he owed Qin Fang a favor.
After the couple discussed it, a few days later, Qin Fang went to the palace to resign.
The emperor was very surprised that Qin Fang suddenly resigned: "Why do you want to resign?" To be honest, he was very confident in using Qin Fang, and he couldn't be more confident, mainly because the couple was so worry-free. Whether it was Qin Fang or Yang Haiyan, they rarely got together, one running between the command camp and home, and the other running between home and the imperial estate. Later, when the wine business was stable, Yang Haiyan stopped getting involved and handed over the full responsibility of the wine to Eunuch Xie, that is, it was returned to the emperor.
So in the heart of the emperor, this couple is really worry-free.
Qin Fang said: "My humble servant's wish was to be a great general and fight on the battlefield, so that other countries would not bully our Qi Kingdom. But now that the emperor is wise and the world is peaceful, I am of no use. Moreover, I received a letter from home a few days ago saying that my grandfather was seriously ill. I have been away from home for more than ten years. It has been five or six years since I was separated from my family in Yunxiang County. I have not been home to visit my grandfather. This time, I am worried that I will go back too late and will not be able to see the old man. Therefore, I want to resign and stay with the old man for a few more years in my hometown."
The emperor thought for a while and said, "You let me... I'm considering it."
Qin Fang: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Qin Fang left, the emperor said: "How is the Qin family? Is Qin Fang's grandfather really ill?"
The person in the dark said: "According to the news from the Qin family's Anzhu in Baili Village, Commander Qin's grandfather is indeed seriously ill."
The emperor: "Is the news from Anzhu reliable?"
The person in the dark said: "The Anzhu is Commander Qin's sister-in-law, Qin Shouye's wife. It was buried a few years ago and is not used on weekdays, so it is very safe."
The emperor nodded and said nothing more.
A few days later, Qin Fang was summoned into the palace by the emperor.
The emperor looked at Qin Fang in a daze. Over the years, he was used to Qin Fang coming to him to complain from time to time, such as who sent him something, who wanted to bribe him. Now that Qin Fang suddenly wanted to resign, he was a little reluctant. However, everyone has their own aspirations, and he owed Qin Fang a favor after all, so he decided to fulfill Qin Fang's wish. "Since you want to go, I won't force you. Do you have anyone to recommend for the position of commander?"
Qin Fang said, "When promoting talents, one should not avoid relatives. I recommend Han Zhen."
"Han Zhen?" The emperor was also familiar with this name. "Is it the Han Zhen who pacified the border of Yongzhou? Oh, I remember now, you are from the same hometown."
After the barbarians surrendered, Han Zhen stayed there. As the border of Yongzhou expanded, the territory of Qi State expanded. In recent years, other countries have also thought about the former territory of the barbarians, but they were all beaten back by Han Zhen. Han Zhen's reputation in Yongzhou is very great. When Qin Fang mentioned Han Zhen's name, the emperor remembered that they seemed to be from the same hometown.
Qin Fang said: "Yes, we are friends of life and death." He did not hide the relationship between himself and Han Zhen.
