In the palace
As Emperor Chongping saw the greetings from all the concubines and the royal family's eldest daughter, all of them looked at the young man in the python suit with either charming or gentle eyes.
After the concubine Nan'an, Liu Fang's mother Sun, Niu Jizong's mother Xu and others spared no effort to belittle them, even the ordinary female officials next to Concubine Duanrong knew that Jia Heng had made assertions about the situation in Henan, and now they have One by one.
Under the slender willow-leaf eyebrows of the noble concubine, her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. She sighed softly and worriedly said to Empress Song: "Sister, there is civil unrest in Henan and the fall of Kaifeng. Fourth brother, he is still here." I don’t know what’s going on in Xiangfu County.”
Empress Song was originally concerned about the safety of Emperor Chongping, so she did not think of her fourth brother Song Xuan for a while. Now, after being reminded by Concubine Duanrong, she reacted in an instant and was shocked. Her jade face was white as frost, and she said in a trembling voice: "This, the four Brother, he is in Kaifeng Mansion now, it’s best if nothing happens to him."
Song Jing's wife, Mrs. Shen, looked sad and murmured, "What should we do?"
Song Yan reached out and pulled her mother's sleeve, raised her beautiful face, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mother, my fourth uncle will be fine."
Hearing this, Princess Xianning withdrew her gaze from Jia Heng and said: "Mother, my husband and I mentioned the matter of my fourth uncle a few days ago. When my husband sent people from Jinyi Mansion to Henan to investigate early, he specifically I told you to send people to Kaifeng to rescue my uncle."
Empress Song, Concubine Duanrong, and Mrs. Shen: "..."
Have you been prepared for this?
Song Yan looked at her cousin, or rather at the young man with a clear face, in surprise.
Previously, because both the government and the public believed that there would be no chaos in Henan, Princess Xianning was not allowed to mention the matter to Concubine Duanrong.
Facing the expectant looks of Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong, Jia Heng explained: "Xiangfu is in the southeast of Kaifeng, and the bandits are rushing towards Kaifeng from the north. They want to break through the provincial capital as soon as possible. With such a big noise, they should not attack Xiangfu County first." , even if the county seat of Xiangfu is to be moved, it will probably be after Kaifeng Mansion falls into the hands. If I want to come, the guards in Jinyi will go to Xiangfu to contact Song Guojiu and help him escape. However, there is no report from Henan yet, but there should be no major incident. , otherwise the previous report would have mentioned it, but now there is no report, which is a good thing."
When Queen Song heard this, her heart hanging in her throat gradually relaxed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the look of horror on her face gradually dissipated.
He and Xianning were already prepared.
Concubine Duanrong pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows were undulating as she stared at the young man, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
Is this an exhaustive plan and a thorough consideration?
He turned and glanced at his daughter, only to see that more than half of his daughter's eyes were fixed on the young man.
Sometimes she had to admit that her family's Xianning vision was very different.
It's a pity that everything is good, but there is one thing that is not good. This Jia Ziyu has a family. She has also seen the Qin family before. She is very charming and generous, and a wretched wife... can't be counted. If Jia Ziyu divorces his wife, she will be worried about her daughter.
Emperor Chongping said: "Since Ziyu has a backup plan, it shouldn't be a serious problem."
At this moment, there were even more regrets in his heart. If he had listened to what Zi Yu said earlier, the provincial capital would never have been broken down today.
So, why did he hesitate in the first place?
Yes, there was almost no approval from the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department at that time. Only Ziyu proposed it. After all, it was just one-sided words, and he did not see the military report.
I saw it before, but it was fake...
When I mentioned this, I felt a dull pain in my heart.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were fooled by thieves and bandits!
Princess Xianning also looked at the young man, her thoughts inexplicable, but in front of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, she didn't want to reveal her thoughts too...
In the previous deployment of troops and generals in the capital camp, this noble lady was involved in the whole process, assisting Jia Heng. The feelings of those who witnessed it were different from those of bystanders, but rather more proud.
"Sir." Princess Xianning approached and whispered.
This is a reminder of Jia Heng's promise to become a female general.
Jia Heng nodded and made it clear that because of the incident in Henan, all officials were guilty, and indeed there was no more suitable time than this moment.
"Ziyu, the troops and horses of the Beijing camp have been mobilized out of the capital at this moment. No matter how urgent the military situation is, you must have lunch before setting off." Emperor Chongping said warmly.
Liu Jixian has already sent an order to the generals of the Beijing camp. At this moment, the troops of the Beijing camp have been completely mobilized and are preparing to reinforce Luoyang. There is no need for General Jia Heng to be in charge personally.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is as urgent as a spark. I will not eat lunch. However, I have another unkind request. I hope your Majesty will agree to it."
Emperor Chongping had just sat down in front of several tables. Under the service of Empress Song, he picked up a spoon and used white fungus and lotus seed porridge. Hearing this, his expression paused and he raised his eyes.
"His Royal Highness Xianning has been accompanying me in the capital camp these days, and I am going to Henan to suppress the bandits. If possible, I hope that His Highness Xianning will also accompany me." Jia Heng said softly, considering his words.
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, narrowed her phoenix eyes, glanced at the boy in the python suit, and immediately suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.
Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe County, also raised her eyes to look at the young man in the python suit. The surprise in her bright eyes gradually dissipated and turned to sadness.
Mr. Xiao Jia wants to take cousin Xianning to Henan?
Therefore, what she had originally thought about would come true. Cousin Xianning and Mr. Xiao Jia might... become a couple.
But why is there no joy in her heart as she imagined?
A trace of sadness appeared on Li Chanyue's beautiful face. Her eyes fell on the face of the tall young man. The handkerchief she held in her hand was twisted, and she felt a little depressed for a moment.
If Sister Xianning can have an entanglement with him, no matter whether there is any result or not, then my mother will stop thinking about it. She should be happy.
But for some reason, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my mother brought a bamboo dragonfly from outside. That day my cousin came over and saw that she liked it very much, so I generously gave it to my cousin. But after a few days, I didn’t know why I wanted to play with the bamboo dragonfly again. Dragonfly regretfully wanted to come over, but didn't know how to speak.
Um? No, Mr. Jia is not a bamboo dragonfly.
Concubine Duanrong's beauty changed suddenly, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked at the young man with surprise on her pink face, and said in shock: "Jia Ziyu, you... Xianning is the princess, how can you go to the front line?"
Is this Jia Heng really going to kidnap her daughter?
"Ahem." Emperor Chongping coughed a few times and waved his hand, indicating that Concubine Duanrong didn't need to say anything.
Princess Xianning looked at Emperor Chongping and said in a clear voice: "My father is not in good health due to the changes in Henan. My daughter should take care of my father's worries. Besides, my uncle is in Kaifeng, so I should go and see him."
Princess Chu Zhen Qing's face was filled with surprise, and her eyes were moving, thinking about the pros and cons.
Xianning is the fifth sister of the King of Wei. Now she is leading the army to Henan with Jia Heng.
Moreover, judging from the incident in Xianning, it seems that Jia Ziyu fell into the queen's beauty trap, which shows that his weakness is female sex.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he looked at his daughter and asked, "Xianning, you have been busy in the capital camp a few days ago. Now you are riding to Luoyang. Can you hold on?"
Princess Xianning said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter's riding skills are quite good, and she is not afraid of bumps at a young age. Besides, my father is very angry because of the incident in Henan. Even if my daughter has to suffer some hardships, she deserves it."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is astute, capable and attentive as a hair. In the past few days, he has been helping me check for leaks and fill in the gaps in the capital camp, and he has come up with many ideas." Jia Heng praised.
In fact, Princess Xianning should also follow him to Henan, otherwise the emperor may not be reassured that he leads so many soldiers and horses, and his daughter is by his side, which can be regarded as half of the supervisory army.
A faint blush appeared on Princess Xianning's snowy and beautiful cheeks.
It was clear that he was a little embarrassed to be praised by Jia Heng for a moment.
Empress Song said worriedly: "Zi Yu, in front of the two armies, swords and guns have no eyesight. After all, Xianning has not experienced this. Isn't it a bit risky?"
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will protect your highness, not by going to the battlefield, but by following me, thinking that I am not going to fight with you in front of the two armies."
Emperor Chongping thought for a while, stretched out his hand to stop Empress Song's persuasion, looked at Jia Heng with burning eyes, and said: "Ziyu, then take good care of Xianning for me."
It doesn't matter if you let Xianning follow. If the two of them can develop a relationship, it will be logical for them to get married in the future.
Concubine Duanrong listened to Emperor Chongping's words, her crystal jade face glowed faintly, and her heart gradually became a little strange.
How could His Majesty's words sound like a father-in-law entrusting his daughter to his son-in-law?
But the Qin family is in the stands over there. Is Your Majesty really going to find an opportunity to force a marriage one day in the future?
It's not impossible. If the emperor grants marriage to block the world's mouth, it might not be impossible to achieve his wish.
only……
On the other side, Princess Jinyang looked at the two of them quietly, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she sighed quietly in her heart.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is not too late. I will take the order and go to the capital camp to mobilize troops and generals."
Emperor Chongping no longer tried to persuade him to stay, but said: "Go and go to the front hall and ask several cabinet ministers, Shi Jie and Xu Lu to wait in the study room of Daming Palace!"
By the end of the sentence, there was a hint of coldness in his voice.
During the recent period, there has been a terrible atmosphere in the Department of Science and Technology. The memorials delivered by the General Affairs Department are quickly piled up into a mountain. There is also the Military Aircraft Department. Incompetent people are using their weapons to make up for their mistakes and harming the country and the people. Even if it is for the sake of national affairs, they must be strictly rectified. .
Otherwise, what happened in Henan will happen again!
Jia Heng responded quickly, turned to look at Princess Xianning, and said warmly: "Then your Highness will go to the harem to clean up and say goodbye to the two empresses, and then meet back at the capital camp later."
Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, go first, I will be there soon."
Jia Heng glanced at Princess Jinyang vaguely, exchanged glances with the beauty, and then walked towards the front hall.
At this moment, in the front hall of Xihe Palace, Yang Guochang, Han Huang, Zhao Mo and other six civil and military ministers were still kneeling, their thoughts inexplicable, and they were still immersed in the situation where the emperor had just vomited blood and fainted.
At this time, I saw the young man in python suit coming out of the palace.
Xu Lu quickly asked: "How is the situation of His Majesty Jia Ziyu?"
Yang Guochang, Han Huang, Zhao Mo, Yao Yu, Fang Huan, Zhao Yi and other six ministers all looked at the boy in python suit.
Jia Heng's face was expressionless and he said calmly: "The Holy One has decreed that several cabinet elders and military ministers are waiting at the Daming Palace to discuss matters."
"Jia Ziyu, your Majesty..." asked Zhao Yi, Minister of Industry.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty has already had some lunch. Let the elders go to see you."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, they looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and others on the Wuxun train, and nodded to his father-in-law Qin Ye and Jia Zheng. Without another word, he walked out of the hall with his sword and stood under the eaves. As far as the eye could see, a red carpet was rolled out towards Chaoyang Palace. On both sides of the red carpet were civil and military courtiers kneeling on the ground, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
It was mid-afternoon, and the spring sunshine was fortunately not dazzling. Instead, it shone warmly on people, making them feel a bit lazy and sleepy.
"Liu Jixian." Jia Heng called loudly.
Liu Jixian turned out from behind the pillar, cupped his fists and said, "I have a humble job."
"Lead the Jinyi bodyguards and follow me to Henan to suppress the rebellion." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
When he leaves, it can take at least one month or as long as three months. In the capital, whether it is Jinyi Mansion, the capital camp, or the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, everything must be arranged.
"No." Liu Jixian responded loudly.
Under the eaves of the corridor, a group of guards in brocade robes holding swords, led by Liu Jixian, followed Jia Heng down the steps along the red carpet towards Chaoyang Palace.
At this moment, behind the young man was a palace with cornices and red beams. The three golden characters on the plaque "Xihe Palace" reflected the sunlight and shone brightly.
The palace is majestic and towering. The red carpet is spread from Danbi to the square. Hundreds of civil and military officials in various blue and green robes and black gauze hats are all kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads tightly. Praying for Emperor Chongping, only the young man in python suit led the guards in brocade clothes wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives, striding on the red carpet.
All the civil and military officials felt this, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the young man in the python suit with complicated thoughts.
The previous imperial edict of "Behead first and report later, do it cheaply" was passed on to the officials outside the palace through the emperor's oral edict read out by the inner prison.
The young man in front of him, who is not as good as a weak crown, not only wears brocade clothes, but also controls the capital camp, and also sends troops to quell the rebellion.
The faces of the censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate became even more ugly. When they suddenly met that cold gaze, most of them were frightened and lowered their heads.
Yunnan Dao Censor Gong Yanming had an ugly face and looked angrily at the young man in python robe. However, he saw that the stern-faced young man just passed by the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate without even looking at him.
this……
In addition to the angry and secret curse, a strong uneasiness arose in my heart.
Nowadays, Henan is in civil turmoil. This person has been entrusted with the power to act expeditiously. His authority is very hot, and he...
He was only afraid of being kicked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and exiled to other provinces.
At this moment, not only Gong Yanming, but also other censors were feeling uneasy.
Previously, Emperor Chongping admitted his fault, but it did not mean that he would let go of the impeachment of hundreds of officials some time ago. Someone must be responsible for it. In addition to Niu Jizong and Liu Fang, there were also a number of scientific and technical officials.
Compared with rectifying a few cabinet ministers, which can easily cause imbalances in the court situation and need to be properly arranged, there is no reason to rectify the affairs of the state. It is almost normal to demote a group of ministers and dismiss a group of ministers.
"It's Brother Heng." Yuan Chun was holding on to the railing tightly at this time, looking at this scene from a distance. His round, plump and white face was white and rosy, and his increasingly charming eyebrows were full of surprise.
Because of her excitement, the jade tiger necklace under her light yellow dress swayed a few times.
At this moment, Jia Mu, supported by Mrs. Wang and Qin Keqing, looked at the young man on the carpet, with a look of joy on his old face, and asked: "Big girl, where is Brother Heng going?"
"Just now the internal eunuch said that he had received the imperial edict from the palace and was going to go out of the capital to suppress the bandits." Yuan Chun and Yourong explained, but their soft and watery voices were a bit worried.
Hengdi leads the troops out, but the soldiers outside are fierce and dangerous... No, he will be fine.
Qin Keqing also looked closely, and the breeze was blowing the golden steps on the beauty's bun, showing off the dazzling light like pearls. Her charming face was as pale as paper, and her beautiful eyes were as moist as water. Her face was full of worry, and her pink lips moved, as if she was whispering: "Husband."
The feeling of joy just now was replaced by worry.
At this moment, Princess Nan'an, Niu Jizong's mother Xu and her daughter-in-law Chu, Liu Fang's mother Sun and her daughter-in-law Tang looked at the young man in python suit with ugly expressions on their faces, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Gein, all the ministers are kneeling at this moment. Only the young man in python suit leads a group of guards in flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives. They stride on the red carpet and pass through the ministers. It seems that the red carpet is Paved for him.
Thinking of this, Princess Nan'an felt like she couldn't breathe, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
Just now the internal prison came to report that her daughter had followed King Wei to the palace of King Wei. She said that the etiquette such as being canonized by the imperial decree, serving tea, and going to the Ancestral Temple no longer existed.
This concubine ceremony has become a pot of rice!
The problem is, it is unlikely to happen again in the future. I don’t know how to arrange her girls.
Thinking of this, Princess Nan'an felt a little sad.
In fact, some people have thought from Emperor Chongping's anger that the Nan'an County prince's family name is Yan, and Yan is Yan. If he married this daughter-in-law, wouldn't he be anxious to get angry?
Coupled with the king of Wei Chen Ran, the young couple are obviously incompatible with each other and are in conflict with each other.
No!
This has nothing to do with her girl, it’s all this Jia Heng.
Needless to say, when he leads his troops out this time, he will definitely be defeated and die outside!
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing looked at the young man in python suit in the distance with her autumn eyes, her thoughts were inexplicable and difficult to describe.
Even her eyes flickered a few times, and this young woman from Huaxin, who had skin as good as snow but a weak temperament, suddenly had an absurd and bold idea.
"All the civil and military officials seem to be kneeling to him. After all, all the officials were impeached by him before, but now they are all guilty, but he is the only one..."
Thinking like this, Zhen Xuefang's heart skipped a beat, her breathing stagnated, and her cheeks even turned red from being suppressed.
All the officials were kneeling to him, but he was not the emperor... Well, what treasonous thing was she thinking about?
But the scene in front of her was like a vivid picture, imprinted on the heart of this young woman with gentle and gentle features, and she could not get rid of it no matter what.
Jia Heng was walking quickly towards the palace gate with the sword on his waist. Suddenly he felt something in his heart. He stopped, turned his head and looked towards the stands decorated with splendid makeup and fluttering colorful flags. His eyes passed through the distance and met the pictures. A worried and happy face finally fell on Qin Keqing's face.
After some hesitation, it didn't pass.
At this moment, he was going to the capital camp to gather people to re-arrange the defense of Shenjing, and then return to Ningguo Mansion to make arrangements. He said that he was not allowed to take Tanchun with him, if Tanchun was not afraid of danger and was willing to go with him.
Compared to Xianning, he wanted Tanchun to practice more, but Tanchun was still young and his body was damaged by such bumps.
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing looked at everyone in the Jia family at this moment. She also raised her jade face and stared blankly at the young man in the python suit who stood proudly, feeling more deeply.
"Mom, who is that?" Shui Xin asked in a Nuo voice, her little face full of curiosity.
Zhen Xue lowered her head, rubbed her daughter's bangs, and said softly: "He is your Aunt Yun's brother. You have to call Uncle Heng."
Thanks to the leader of the book friend "Zisu Ling" for the reward!
