This royal horse racing complex located in the north of the city is very large and divided into two parts by the clear Jade River.
Different from the green grass and galloping horses on the right, the palace located at the foot of Yuquan Mountain has so luxurious pavilions and pavilions.
Shui Rong leaned on the railing and looked far away, and there seemed to be faint cheers coming from the polo field in the distance. Another person in the high pavilion was a little anxious and kept pouring wine into his mouth.
From time to time, he complained: "What's going on? No news has come out after so long?"
"Brother Qian, don't worry. No matter how hard the Jia family defends themselves, they can't break the trap we set."
Shui Rong raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a confident smile: "Brother Qian doesn't know what kind of temper our Princess Tu is. As long as she is here, our plan will be foolproof. But Brother Qian, have you ever made arrangements for things in Liaodong?" Is it appropriate? Can the court be forced to make concessions? Liaodong must be in chaos as soon as possible. Did Uncle Shi say when will the Goryeo army cross the river? "
There was a hint of gloom in Qian Kun's eyes. According to what his father Qian Kangshi said, no matter whether this plan is successful or not, the power of the Dongping Palace will be damaged.
But seeing the rope around his neck getting tighter and tighter, the Dongping Palace had to endure the temporary pain and find a way to jump out of the quagmire of the capital and return to Liaodong.
"Brother Shui, don't worry. Lin Ruhai wants to implement the new salt law, which has offended the wealthy families in Shu, Shanxi, and Jiangnan. The Shanxi merchants have promised that they have contacted Tatar and Korea, and the war on the nine sides is not far away. By then, Shu If the land breaks out again, and Jiangnan unites with the Nanhai vassals to disrupt the maritime borders, hehe..."
Qian Kun laughed sinisterly. He poured the wine from the cup down his throat and threw it to the ground: "Isn't the Jia family very favored? Then I'll see if he can be the envoy of various vassals seeking marriage." When I come to Beijing, will the Jia family faithfully offer their daughter?"
The sinister laughter in the high pavilion made Shui Rong extremely disgusted, but his face was always gentle and elegant.
Just listen to Shui Rong sigh and say: "I didn't expect that we, the founder of the country, have been together for nearly a hundred years, and finally parted ways to the point of life and death. If the Ningrong Jia family can change their minds, why should we kill each other."
Qian Kun snorted and replied: "Brother Shui, I am both an uncle and a concubine. Even the son-in-law of the Jia family has become the emperor's confidant. Why do you sigh for the traitor?"
well!
Shui Rong looked at the polo field in the distance and sighed: "It's just a plot against women and children. After all, it's not what a gentleman does..."
Qian Kun was a little dissatisfied with Shui Rong's attitude. He stood up and clasped his fists: "Forget it, Brother Shui is a gentleman, I'd better not disturb Brother Shui for a villain like me. I just sighed. Just in case, I'd better go and have a look in person. Say goodbye!"
Qian Kun didn't wait for Shui Rong's response and strode down the stairs.
After seeing his trusted guard on the first floor, he cursed in a low voice: "I really think I don't know what he is thinking, why are you pretending to be a gentleman? Qian Er, how is the plan prepared? Don't let anyone find out about us. "
Qian Er smiled sinisterly and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, young master, these Japanese pirates and water bandits don't even know who provided the money. They can only survive in Yanshan because of our support. My subordinates have made arrangements. Okay, once the person is found, he will be sent to Shanxi as soon as possible."
"Well done! Tell those Shanxi merchant families that I gave them what they asked for, and it's time for them to keep their promise."…
Qian Kun patted Qian Er on the shoulder, and the gloom on his face became darker. He looked up at the figure on the high pavilion and chuckled: "Who does Shui Rong think he is? After wearing the skin of a 'virtuous king' for so long, do you really think he is a humble gentleman? Jia Cong has caused me so much misery, Then I will make him miserable!"
The table in the high pavilion had been cleaned up. After the servants had cleaned up and lit the incense, the old housekeeper of Beijing County Prince's Mansion dismissed the rest of the people in the pavilion.
He handed a cup of tea to Shui Rong and said, "Master, the Qian family has taken the bait. The old slave has secretly passed the news to Jia She, but I don't know if Jia She will take the bait."
"This is a conspiracy, and the Jia family can't do it unless they take the bait. Lin Ruhai is too important to the Jia family, not to mention that Jia Enhou has pinned all his hopes on Jia Cong. This little girl from the Lin family, Jia Shejue I won’t let her lose!”
Shui Rong raised the tea cup at hand, saluted Qian Kun who was leaving, and sneered: "Brother Qian, thank you! When the Liaodong war begins, my Shui family will be able to regain control of the army. Liaodong is a thousand miles of fertile land. My Shui family wants it!"
The old housekeeper showed admiration on his face and bowed: "My lord is wise, Qian Kun would never have thought in his wildest dreams that his people would kidnap the Princess Tu family. When the Tu family breaks up with the Dongping County Prince's Palace, we have prepared before People can take advantage of this opportunity and seize all the Tu family's trade routes in Liaodong in one fell swoop."
…
The conflict in the pergola was finally resolved through the mediation of Queen Mother Cao, and the polo match continued, but the eldest princess of Deqing, Liu Shule, was no longer in the mood to celebrate her birthday.
Mo Ruomu, a wise daughter, knows very well what the daughter she gave birth to looks like. It is true that he is domineering, but he is not stupid enough to act in front of the Queen Mother.
After finally begging the Queen Mother, she personally sent her daughter out of the palace and onto the carriage. Then she gloomily gathered all the slaves serving Tu Siqi, and after a whip, she finally found out the reason.
"Who is Lin Ruhai? Will his daughter be a gossip? Besides, Lin's daughter and Jia's daughter have been staying in Rongguo Mansion. They never leave the house or leave the house. How can they have the chance to meet other people?"
Liu Shule called a few nuns, frowned and said, "Go and find out who Siqi has been in contact with these days, and who said these things in Siqi's ears."
The nuns were about to take the order and leave, but Liu Shule stopped them again: "Also, send someone to inform the consort, saying that Siqi has offended the Ning Rong and Lin families, and asked him to find an opportunity to talk to Jia and Lin. Let the two families apologize."
The leading nanny asked unwillingly: "Your Highness, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, why should we bow to the Jia family?"
"Confused! Have you forgotten what kind of temper Marquis Jia En has? Even being rude can cause trouble, not to mention how favored Jia Sanlang is in the palace. Even I can't enter the gate of Longshou Palace, but Jia Sanlang can You can come and go freely. Besides..."
Liu Shule pursed her lips and said sadly: "Besides, Lin Ruhai is now the emperor's confidant and has a very high reputation among the officials. In addition, Jia Sanlang's teacher, Mr. Qingteng, offended the Jia and Lin families, Yi'er How can I take the imperial examination in the future?"
Speaking of this, although Liu Shule was inevitably a little dissatisfied with the Jia Lin family, she was more angry with the person who instigated her daughter to commit stupidity. ….
She originally wanted to use her birthday to explain to the Jia family about Qian Kangshi's humiliation of Jia Zheng, and to try to bring the two families closer together, but she didn't expect that it would end up like this again...
Could it be that I have been memorizing words recently?
Alas, a dignified royal lady had to bow to her ministers. Liu Shule thought of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun she met in Cining Palace, and her irritability became even stronger.
My father is getting older, and my brother is being indifferent to me. If you want to maintain the wealth of the Princess Mansion, you must marry the Jia family, a re-emerging martial arts noble family.
…
The ladies in the pavilion were frightened just now, but after the elders all left, they started chattering and fighting again after a while.
Most of the people in this pavilion were relatives of the royal family and the Wu Xun family. When the polo match resumed, everyone stretched their necks to admire the heroic figures on the court.
Even Xichun, who was crying loudly just now, was also twisting in Yingchun's arms, eager to gallop forward.
Daiyu had already discussed their tactics with Tanchun after they came on stage. Jia Cong saw his sisters staring at the speeding swing on the court with interest. After a few words of advice, Jia Cong walked out of the polo field with Da Mao.
Just now, Queen Mother Cao was obviously dissatisfied with her stubbornness, so she decided not to hang around in front of her old man and be an eyesore.
The noble princes from the capital who went hunting have returned and are competing with each other on the edge of the Jade River. There is a lot of fun in throwing pots, archery, and barbecuing and drinking.
Jia Cong told Jia Shiyi to keep an eye on the situation outside the polo field, and then took the big cat to the Jade River.
"Brother Cong, come on, let's see what I hunted?"
Liu Hong had had enough of hunting today. When he saw a person and a cat from a distance, he waved and shouted.
People around looked over one after another, Jia
Cong put away his annoyance, put on a smile and went up to greet him. He held hands with everyone and said, "Brothers, I'm polite!"
Although Jia Cong is young, his rank far exceeds that of most people here. Almost everyone smiled and returned the greeting. After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Cong walked up to Liu Hong and complained softly: "Fourth brother, you are really hurting me..."
He pulled the big cat's head over, pointed at the red mark on its forehead and briefly described the conflict just now.
Liu Hong frowned and said: "This Siqi is getting more and more mischievous, and Aunt Ninth doesn't want to take care of it..."
Jia Cong expressed Xichun's contribution to Liu Hong without any trace, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is more than nonsense. If the fourth sister hadn't hugged the big cat's head in time regardless of the danger, who knows what tragedy would have happened."
Liu Hong saw Jia Cong's dissatisfaction and expressed his position: "I will tell the emperor's grandfather about this matter. Since the Tu family can't manage their daughter, let Zongzheng Temple take good care of her."
"good!"
The sudden cheers interrupted the conversation between the two. Jia Cong turned around and saw the target on the small wooden boat in the Yu River flowing down the river. Jia Lian was competing in archery with several teenagers.
Liu Hong took this opportunity to change the subject and said with a smile: "Your second brother is worthy of being a general who fought against Japan, and he should be ranked first in archery, horse riding, and archery!"
Just as he was talking, Jia Lian shot another arrow, hitting the target on the wooden boat in the river, and received another round of applause.
"good!"
The atmosphere here finally infected Jia Cong, and he also shouted along with the crowd. Liu Hong raised the corner of his mouth when he saw that he still put aside his worries. ….
Liu Hong winked at Jia Cong and encouraged: "Let's go and play. We just hunted several white foxes and red foxes. They will take them as lottery prizes. Whoever wins will get it..."
…
Tu Siqi sat angrily in the bumpy carriage and kept cursing the waiter who was driving. The waiter remained sullen and silent.
The carriage, escorted by a group of forbidden troops, was supposed to cross the stone bridge over the Jade River and return to the capital from the official road on the east side.
But somehow, he went south along the river bank and entered a dense forest. The maid accompanying Tu Siqi noticed something was wrong, lowered the curtain and whispered, "Princess, this is not the way back to Beijing..."
Tu Siqi, who was still cursing others, hadn't figured out what the maid meant. She opened the curtain of the carriage angrily and was about to curse, but she saw that there was already a dense forest all around. It was midsummer, and it was extremely lush and lush.
At any other time, this would be a good place to enjoy the cool air. But at this time, it seemed to Tu Siqi that the darkness in the dense forest seemed to be full of danger.
"Slave dog, why don't you follow the official path?"
Tu Siqi finally realized something was wrong, but she was used to being domineering, so she cursed.
The servant who was driving finally spoke: "Back to the princess, the leader sent a message earlier that the stone bridge on the Yuhe River collapsed, so we had to go south along the river back to the capital. The road was bumpy, but the princess returned to the carriage and sat down. Two quarters of an hour later Then you can return to the official path."
Tu Siqi never thought about the solidity of the stone bridge. She believed it and just complained a few words and retracted the carriage.
She also scolded the maid next to her a few times, saying that she was worrying unfoundedly. The carriage clanked forward, and the bumpy road made her more and more irritable.
When she was about to lift the curtain again to curse, a voice suddenly shouted from outside: "No, there is a thief..."
Tu Siqi covered her mouth in fear, because the captain of the imperial army who was leading the team outside the carriage actually stabbed the imperial army in surprise in the waist.
A large number of ragged thieves rushed out from the dense forest on both sides. In a moment, the Forbidden Army was in chaos, and many people died in the hands of their colleagues.
By the time she came to her senses, the leader of the thieves was already cupping his hands with the captain of the imperial army and saying, "King Dongping is indeed trustworthy. I will take this man away right now."
"Leader Wang, please go back and tell Head Fan that the prince has sent Princess Tu as planned. Shanxi merchants have promised my prince's things, please send them to Liaodong as soon as possible. The prince's important matter cannot be delayed!"
Tu Siqi's face turned pale with fright at the words of the captain of the imperial army. She covered her mouth and widened her eyes, too frightened to say a word.
Just listen to that
Leader Wang smiled and replied: "This is natural. We are still waiting for the prince to ascend to the throne and give the brothers at sea an identity..."
Tu Siqi finally woke up from the fright and began to make up her mind.
Why did Prince Dongping send him to the Fan family of Shanxi merchants? Could it be that someone in the Fan family covets her beautiful appearance?
And the leader Wang said that King Dongping actually wanted to ascend to the throne and he wanted to rebel?
Oh my God, I actually heard such secrets. Do I still have a chance to survive?
Just when she was frightened and confused, there was a crash, the shadow blocked the light, and the carriage was filled with the smell of sweat.
"ah……"
Before Tu Siqi screamed, the maid next to her shouted: "Help..."
Bang!
Tu Siqi, who gradually regained her vision, finally saw clearly what was going on in the carriage. It was a thick-haired middle-aged man, and a maid who had knocked him unconscious with a knife. He even smiled evilly at himself, showing his brown teeth.
"As expected, Princess Tu is such a beautiful woman..."
