Never allowed to join the army? General Ma made a mental decision. Among his ten legitimate sons and concubines, the eldest was injured when he was young and the fifth has passed away. Now, except for the third, who has just returned from the Zhenbei Army, he is striving to take over the capital.

Apart from the one hundred thousand imperial troops inside and outside, there was only Lao Jiu, a concubine who had been trained under Prince Yong of the Southwest Army.

General Ma's power is in the Zhenbei Army, but it has been twelve years since he retired. The current Zhenbei General Zhao is also a powerful person. He has successively won over or dealt with many of his people, otherwise Lao San would not have been forced to do so.

Don't hold your breath and report illness and return to Beijing.

If the boss had not been seriously injured, Zhao would not have taken away his position as the general of Zhenbei. At that time, he thought that all the Zhenbei army had his power, so he would let Zhao take over for a few years and wait for the third son.

After you have achieved military success, when the time is right, you can then find a way to regain the position of commander.

Unexpectedly, Zhao You acted vigorously and resolutely, and soon quietly reorganized the Zhenbei Army, and firmly established himself as the general of Zhenbei. He did not deliberately deal with or hinder the third son from doing meritorious service. In fact, it was well known among the Zhenbei Army that

, he also gave Ma Laosan many opportunities.

Unfortunately, facts have proven that Ma Laosan does not have the mighty potential of his father and brother. He is not as good at leading troops as the eldest brother, and his strategy is not as good as that of the second eldest brother.

Old General Ma was well aware of Zhao You's methods, but it was a pity that he had no clue to catch him. On the contrary, more and more people in the Zhenbei Army were full of praise for their commander's aboveboardness and magnanimity.

General Ma also knew several of his own sons. Only the second son of the Ma family was most like General Ma. He just didn't like to lead troops at the border and couldn't live without the comfort and enjoyment in the capital, so he was responsible for the Ma family's secret power in the capital.

Ever since Ma Lao Er died, the dark power of the Ma family left in the hands of the boss has become worse every year.

The concubines Lao Wu and Lao Jiu had the potential to lead an army, but unfortunately Lao Wu was torn apart by wild wolves, and Lao Jiu was ordered by the emperor to join the Southwest Army.

…

General Ma didn't know how he thanked him, how he got on the carriage, and how he returned to the house. He thought that he was retreating in order to make progress, and he was pleading guilty in front of all the civil and military officials. No one could confirm that the third child was related to that person.

What are the people of Myanmar talking about? His argument about "greed for merit" should be very convincing.

However, it is obvious that the emperor does not care much on the surface, but in fact he is wary of the Ma family.

Old General Ma locked himself in his study, he needed some quiet time.

If he hadn't been stimulated by the marriage between the fourth prince and the Yun family this time and was too impatient, he wouldn't have been persuaded by the third child to allow him to "listen to what King Ning and the Kingdom of Burma have to say." Sigh. He really should listen.

Mingyu (named by Yu Zhengran), the more things seem to be changing suddenly, the more calm and cautious it is to be calm and not to act rashly.

It's a pity that he is still impatient...

Nothing has been done now, but it has been branded with a suspicious mark. If he hadn't thought about the great achievements he had made, there were also the second prince and Concubine Yi. Would the emperor have also raided the Ma family this time?

Old General Ma held his head. He was old, really old. But he couldn't fall down, otherwise the Ma family might be doomed.

After the fall of King Ning, the Baoning faction headed by Queen Ning's mother's family was thoroughly investigated, beheaded (such as the Yu family), exiled, and dismissed. A major purge was carried out among officials at all levels.

After hearing the news, Concubine Li in Jujiu Palace read Buddhist scriptures all afternoon. The Murong family was now in decline. If the brothers had not returned to Damingfu City to observe filial piety, and if she had not been confined to Jujiu Palace, they should still be tied to Prince Ning.

Together, right? The Murong Mansion should have the same fate as the Yu family now, right? And she, her Sixth Princess, and the Ninth Prince are all finished.

Concubine Li suddenly realized that the emperor's grounding of her might be the last bit of affection for her. The sixth princess and the ninth prince would come to visit her on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and the palace people did not dare to despise her, except that they could not leave Jujiu Palace.

, her various portions, food and clothing standards have not been lowered.

After thinking about it, Concubine Li completely let go of her resentment and truly worshiped the Buddha sincerely. In addition to chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day, she also made clothes and food for her children with her own hands. She also spent more and more time with the Sixth Princess and the Ninth Prince.

Yue Heping is afraid that his past state and the situation of the Murong family will affect the temperament of his children.

After the emperor found out, he no longer restricted the time when the sixth princess and the ninth prince could go to Jujiu Palace. They could go whenever they wanted.

The Queen Mother also took the Sixth Princess to Cining Palace for upbringing. The only thing the Queen Mother was satisfied with about Concubine Li was that she was very reliable in raising her children. Even when she was at her most depressed, she did not transfer her resentments to her children.

.More importantly, knowing her son better than her mother, the Queen Mother knew that Concubine Li was one of the few concubines of the Emperor who truly had feelings for her.

The matter of Concubine Li was a thing of the past, and it was not a matter of concern to the Shuyao family. The arrival of the two babies in the Lianghou Mansion added to the joy, and the whole house was full of joy from top to bottom.

As a grandfather, Jin Xida no longer needed Shuyao's supervision. He had to return home on time for meals. Going home every day was much more positive than leaving home. At first, he thought he would be alone for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, not only were mother and son reconciled, but their children were also reconciled.

He was filial and got a taste of being a grandfather.

Naturally, the baby's name was waiting for his grandfather to pick it out, but he was too picky and thought this one was too common and that one was not loud enough. Half a month later, none of them satisfied him.

Shujie and Nangong Miao were not in a hurry. Anyway, there were some nicknames that Shuwen was forced to use first. The older one was called Gungun and the younger one was called Dudu. When Shuwen looked at the two nephews, the first thing that came to his mind was "round, fat."

"Dudu", Shuyao frowned, but the old lady and Mrs. Yun thought it was very good. Even Mrs. Nangong thought it was good, and she called "gungun, dudu" without saying anything. It was too inconvenient to call the baby before.

Jin Xida was so dissatisfied. What about being round and chubby? It was too meaningless, so she even decided to choose a resounding name.

Finally, one day I dreamed of Xia Linxuan and Zhen Zirou, and after chatting all night, I made a decision early the next morning. The eldest brother was named Xia Haoxuan, which means upright and majestic, and the second child was named Xia Haoxi. "Xi" means a bright future.

.

The three Shujie brothers nodded. Nangong Miao was sitting in the house for confinement. She smiled after hearing what the maid told her: "Haoxuan, Haoxi, it sounds nice. The name chosen by my adoptive father is really good."

Nangong Yuzhen smiled and said: "It's such a good name. It's worth waiting for so long. I think my father-in-law's hair has turned a lot gray in order to come up with this name."

"Hahaha," several people in the room laughed.

Shujie stood up and bowed to Jin Xida: "Father, Miao'er and I decided a long time ago that the second son will have the same surname as Jin, or Wen'er's second son in the future, except for the eldest son... uh

...Afraid of opposition from the clan, the adoptive father can choose other sons. If the adoptive father has his own... biological son in the future, it will be cheaper for him to change his surname back to Xia. The adoptive father, no matter whether their surname is Xia or Jin,

I will always be your grandson."

Mrs. Jin’s eyes lit up: Surnamed Jin? Jin Haoxi? That’s great! Although they are all legitimate grandsons of Jin Xida, whether they are named Jin or not, the meaning of the surname Jin is so different. It means entering the Jin family tree, and it can be written seriously.

The eldest grandson in the Jin Xida branch is really thoughtful and considers Wenjun wholeheartedly.

Jin Xida's heart was also warm, and she suppressed the tears that overflowed from her eyes. Her adopted son and daughter-in-law and many people were in the hall.

At the moment, he was holding Dudu in his hand, patted the little Dudu and said with a smile, "Dudu, you will be called Jin Haoxi from now on, do you like it? But the name is a matter of life. If your surname is Jin, you will have the surname for the rest of your life.

Jin. Even if you really have a little uncle in the future, you will still be Jin Haoxi."

Coincidentally, before Jin Xida finished speaking, "Jin Haoxi" opened her eyes and actually smiled at Jin Xida.

Shuyao was the first to see it and said curiously: "Smile, laugh. Dudu is smiling, look." Gungun and Dudu are only half a month old. They sleep with their eyes closed most of the time, and now they are listening.

After hearing Jin Xida's words, he opened his eyes and smiled. It was really amazing.

I don't know if the twin brothers had a tacit understanding, but Xia Haoxuan in the old lady's arms also opened his eyes and smiled.

The old lady was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear: "Oh, oh, Gungun is laughing too, dear darlings, no matter your surname is Jin or Xia, they are all great-grandmother's darlings." These two children are really her lucky stars, she is very clear.

I heard clearly that my son blurted out, "Even if there is a little uncle in the future, you will still be Jin Haoxi."

The old lady shouted in her heart: "Be good, be good, be good, please bring a grandmother to your grandfather. Even if you don't have a younger uncle in the future, you can have a younger aunt. It doesn't matter if you don't have one. What's important is that your grandfather will have one when he gets old."

I'm a companion, someone is hurting."

Things about the Lianghou Mansion always spread quickly, and everyone knew about the two young masters of the Lianghou Mansion, one named Xia Haoxuan and the other named Jin Haoxi. Most people lamented that the Yongping Marquis valued friendship, and the father and son in the Lianghou Mansion

The relationship between the two girls is so good that it makes all the biological fathers and sons blush.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are concerned about the title. Marquis Wenyuan is the tenth generation marquis. On the second day, people lined up anxiously to come to see Mrs. Jin for "a serious talk". They did not dare to go to Jin Xida.

I'm looking for Mrs. Jin. Some of these people who are blushing are from the Jin family and the Liao family.

While Mrs. Jin was teasing Gungun and Dudu in the nanny's arms, she said calmly to the head of the Jin family and Jin Xida's second uncle: "Dudu is my great-grandson, my son's grandson. Can you say no?"

Of course, the two patriarchs of the Jin family did not dare to say "no", otherwise they would be disobeying the decree and losing their heads. Uncle Jin muttered: "After all, it is better to have the blood of the Jin family. There are so many children and grandchildren in the Jin family, how old and how young."

They are all available, wouldn't it be better to choose one?" His biological grandson is only more than two months old, so it would be great to adopt him as a son to Jin Xida.

Mrs. Jin snorted: "Bloodline? When my son was taken out of his heart by his so-called father, when he was bullied by his brothers and sisters, when he suffered, where were you blood relatives? In short, where were you?

, my Dudu is Jin Haoxi, my son’s direct grandson, it doesn’t matter whether you welcome him or not. The worst thing is, you don’t let him enter the family tree, and then his grandfather is exterminated.”

Eliminate the clan? How is it possible? The clan leader immediately jumped up: "Dudu's surname is Jin, and he is a descendant of our Jin family. How can we not enter the Jin family's genealogy? I'm just here to discuss it with you. When Dudu is full moon, we will choose a

The days are carved into the family tree.

"It doesn't matter whether he is of the Jin family's blood or not, as long as his surname is Jin, the honor and benefits of Marquis Wenyuan belong to the Jin family. Even if the second uncle Jin's grandson adopts him, what will happen to him, the clan leader, and other Jin family members?

Say, what's the difference between it and Dudu?

The more the head of the Jin family thought about it, the more he thought it was true. He glared at Uncle Jin: "What are you looking at? Do I need to explain to you in advance what I am doing?" Uncle Jin and his sons are not reliable, and his grandson is not reliable.

What else could I do? Let a man who can't support you become the Marquis of Wenyuan. Maybe one day the title will be taken away by the emperor again.

But Dudu, uh, Jin Haoxi is different. You know, his father is the Marquis of Yongping, his mother is the direct aunt of the Nangong family, and the direct aunt is Princess Fuxing, the future Princess Yongqin. Such a strong background of the "Jin family"

"Children" are not better than anyone else?

Mrs. Jin did not expose it and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, clan leader. When my son comes back, I will tell you that my son has chosen a date and will discuss it with you and the clan elders."

The Liao family became anxious when they heard this: "Auntie, don't you want to have your own biological grandson?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I am already old, and my grandchildren are very filial. They have embraced my great-grandson. Why should I be anxious about kissing my grandson? There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it." (Not finished yet.
