Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace not only has to entertain the ministers, but also prepares for the Qiansou Banquet to be held in the Huangji Palace in the evening. The emperor has thrown a lot of things away to Prince Liu Hong, who is so busy that he does not even have time for lunch. .
By the time he found out that his younger brother was missing, Jia Cong had already grabbed the boy's neck and left the capital.
Fortunately, Jia Cong sent someone to the palace to report the news first, so he didn't cause chaos in the palace.
After listening to the report from the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion, Liu Hong was so angry that his teeth felt itchy. He told the servants at the side to prepare ropes and riding whips, and planned to teach Lao Wu what the deep love of an elder brother for his younger brother is!
As for the middle-aged chamberlain who dared to yell at Jia Cong, Liu Hong not only ordered people to go to Beizhen Fusi to convey the prince's order, but also sent a handwritten letter to Cao Jiugong, the commander of the Dragon Guards, ordering the Dragon Guards to investigate in secret. .
After Liu Hong settled everything, he summoned the chief attendants around the fifth prince Liu Shuo, who served him with military sticks without saying anything.
He didn't believe that Xiao Wu, a child who was no more than eleven years old, could leave the palace silently with a small servant.
Even though as he grew older, his control over the brothers became a little looser, he still arranged for personal guards and attendants to follow and protect them overtly and covertly.
It's good now, everyone has disappeared. A dozen attendants still think that their master is asleep in the house...
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"There is no need to be polite, good concubine, please get up quickly."
Liu Hong looked over when he heard the sound and saw Yuan Chun leading a group of people from the corridor.
He gave a weak hand and held Qin to help Yuanchun who was bowing down.
"The people in Xiaowu Palace made mistakes, so I punished them in a hurry. I didn't expect to disturb Concubine Xianmu. I hope Concubine Xianmu won't blame them."
Liu Hong's attitude towards Yuanchun was very gentle. In fact, as the crown prince, his status in the entire Daxia Dynasty was second only to the Second Saint and the Queen Mother Cao.
They were his father's concubines, who had to bow in advance when meeting him, including the imperial concubine Yang who was in charge of the Phoenix Seal.
However, Liu Hong knew the rules and understood human feelings, and he still respected his father and his concubines who did not fight or rob them.
For example, Concubine Yang, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, etc. have always treated each other with the courtesy of juniors.
Even so, Yuanchun would never use his status as an elder to show off in front of the prince.
It's a joke, the prince is also a king, the prince's status was jointly determined by two generations of emperors, supported by all ministers, and the entire Wuxun Group is trying to get their descendants to move closer to the East Palace.
She was destined to be the future emperor, so she went crazy and went against the prince.
Yuan Chun glanced at the two chamberlains who were being suppressed and beaten, and talked about the reason why he came to the palace.
"I heard from the palace servants that His Highness the Fifth Highness has not delivered breakfast yet. I thought it was because His Highness was in poor health. I didn't dare to delay so I thought of coming over to have a look..."
Yuanchun was appointed to be the assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace, and she had been personally overseeing the meals of the underage princes and princesses.
Liu Shuo didn't pass the meal around at first. She was still thinking about the child being snoozy, so she probably didn't get up.
But time slowly arrived at noon, and the meal had not yet been delivered to Liu Shuo's palace. This was obviously a problem.
An eleven-year-old calf is most vulnerable to hunger.
According to Liu Shuo's habit, he had to eat several large bowls of rice in one meal. It made no sense that it was already noon and he hadn't sent anyone to the imperial kitchen to ask for food.
Could it be that he is sick?
Liu Hong became even more angry when he heard this. He was not angry at Yuanchun, but at the servants around Liu Shuo...
He flicked his sleeves and yelled: "I'll beat you so hard that even Concubine Xian will notice something is wrong. You guys are living a comfortable life, and you won't even notice anything strange about your master!"
The Concubine Xian noticed something was wrong just by taking one look at the meal.
It's a good thing for these idiots. Your master hasn't eaten all morning, so why don't you ask him?
Yuanchun did not stop the prince from punishing the group of servants, and said urgently: "Your Highness, I feel that the most important thing at this time is to find the Fifth Highness..."
"Concubine Xianmu, don't worry, the fifth brother has been found. Brother Cong went to the Armed Forces Academy on the order of his father. He happened to meet the fifth brother on the way. He will probably return to the palace in the afternoon."
Liu Hong bowed slightly to Yuan Chunzuo. He really cared about his brother. If Jia Cong hadn't met him by chance, I'm afraid the good concubine would have noticed what happened to Xiao Wu first.
He has to accept this.
"By the way, Concubine Xianmu, I heard someone say that Concubine Rong is looking for a date for Jia Daizhao, and she is booking a girl from the former Baolinghou Mansion?"
The cane punishment on the side did not affect the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Concubine Xian at all. Both of them automatically blocked out the muffled sounds and the crackling of the cane in their ears.
Yuanchun's expression softened when she heard this. Baoyu and Xiangyun's marriage had reached the stage of deciding the date, which could be regarded as solving the biggest problem in her heart.
She was afraid that her brother's marriage would have another setback, so Xiangyun was the best choice except for her mother's family's problems.
Don't dare to have any more problems. No high-ranking dignitary can compare with Baoyu's future stability.
Yuanchun nodded and responded warmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It is indeed the case. My grandmother came to the palace a few days ago to discuss it with me, and it is best to set it in March or April after the new year. There are several unmarried people in the family. There is not much age difference between the younger siblings. Seeing that my third younger sister is getting married, I cannot let her brother still stand in the way..."
Fortunately, Xiangyun and Tanchun are the same age, and they will both get their haircut in March or April next year, which is just in time.
"Jia Daizhao is a critic of the country, and he is known as a remonstrator. Guhui reported it to his father, Emperor Ming, and gave Miss Shi a suitable status. This is considered as a wedding gift to Jia Daizhao."
Yuanchun was overjoyed when he heard this and wanted to kneel down and worship again, but saw the prince stepping aside.
"We are all a family. Concubine Xianmu is coming and going, which is really difficult for me. There are many things in the palace today, and I have to continue working, so I won't stay here any longer. Xiaowu has trouble with things here. Wisdom Concubine, please worry more about this little bastard... When this bastard comes back, see if I don’t hang him up and whip him 180 times, so that he can remember it for a long time!"
When Liu Hong thought that he was so busy and his brother went to play outside the palace, he didn't get angry at all.
He waved his hands rather irritably and said goodbye to Yuanchun.
However, before leaving, he still asked Yuan Chun in a vague way. After Yuan Chun saw off the prince, he immediately sent someone to invite the imperial concubine Yang who was in charge of the Phoenix Seal.
She naturally understood the cryptic words of the prince just now, so why bother?
This is because he is dissatisfied with the affairs in Liu Shuo's palace and does not trust the palace servants who serve Liu Shuo.
It was not easy for him to intervene directly, but Yuanchun happened to be there, and the two of them were considered allies, so they naturally turned to Yuanchun.
"What's going on? I heard that the prince was alarmed..."
Yang came very quickly, but an underage prince disappeared and alarmed the prince who was worried about the banquet. How could Yang not be anxious.
Yuanchun told the whole story, and Yang immediately realized the mystery.
This matter seems to be just the fifth prince's willfulness and fun, but in fact, it hides a lot of trouble.
There was a problem with the imperial palace, and there was also a problem with the people around the prince, and it could even involve the two concubines who were in charge of the harem.
Are the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine capable of managing the harem?
There is so much to say about this!
"Come here, take all the people in the Fifth Emperor's palace to the Shenxing Department and give them to me for a good trial. Tell the people in the Shenxing Department that I will know the cause and effect before dark. Aunt Xia, go and pick it out yourself. People, change all the people around the fifth prince..."
Yang dealt with her coldly. The good-natured imperial concubine who was praised by everyone was no worse than the former Empress Zhen in cruelty.
Yuanchun personally supported Yang and slowly sat down in the front hall of the Fifth Emperor's palace. The two of them only listened to their stomachs and discussed what happened today.
"Sister, this really shocked me. If anything happens to the fifth prince, you and I will be the ones to blame. Besides, the palace has finally found stability, and I'm afraid there will be trouble again."
Mrs. Yang nodded: "It's not just trouble, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm. The wind in this palace will never stop. I'd better look forward to the prince's wedding as soon as possible so that I can hand over this hot potato to the prince. .”
If the prince gets married and there is no queen in the palace, the princess will be the legitimate master of the harem.
Yuan Chun and Yang looked at each other, and they smiled bitterly almost at the same time.
Being in charge of Feng Yin and co-managing the harem sounds powerful and majestic. In fact, neither Yang nor Yuan Chun wanted to get involved in this power.
Do you really think the harem is easy to manage?
Yuanchun not only has to worry about her son every day, but also has to keep an eye on the people and things in the harem. She has long been exhausted mentally and physically.
This is just to assist the Yang family. I really don’t know how people outside think that taking charge of Feng Yin is a good thing...
"I have to thank my sister for worrying about what happened today, and I also want to thank Uncle Yongfeng. If something happened to the fifth prince, I would never be able to atone for my sins."
Yuan Chun smiled: "What did my sister say? It's a coincidence. I didn't expect that the fifth prince who ran out of the palace would be met by my younger brother."
Yang could imagine that Jia Cong was probably full of surprise when he met Liu Shuo...
No, it was the shock.
"Uncle Yongfeng has made great achievements, but this matter should not be publicized, and I cannot reward him directly. In this way, there is a palace banquet today. When your sisters come to the palace, let's look for an opportunity to reward them."
…
Liu Shuo's brain has grown to such an extent that he is unimaginable, and his worldliness is not as good as that of an eight-year-old boy.
He told the story of his leaving the palace backwards and forwards. Even though Jia Cong tried very hard, he still couldn't figure out how a few servants with a small table, a small stool and a small chair coaxed him out of the palace.
But one thing is certain, there are probably not many loyal people in this boy's palace.
Jia Cong wanted to complain about the carelessness of the emperor and the prince, and the audacity of Lao Wu.
But when I think about how doting those two people doted on Lao Wu, I understand.
The fifth child, Liu Shuo, except that his mother died early, had really been pampered by his father and brother in the past eleven years. He didn't need to think too much or worry about anything.
"Master, we're here."
The carriage stopped slowly. Jia Cong suppressed the matter in his heart for the time being. He glared at Liu Shuo who was eager to raise the curtain and looked around. He said angrily: "Follow me and you are not allowed to run around. Otherwise, fourth brother will not beat you up." , I will definitely hang you on a tree to dry!"
Meeting this bastard on the street today really shocked him.
Not to mention that the eldest sister in the palace, Yuanchun, is the co-manager of the Sixth Palace, and the prince cannot escape the blame for anything that happens.
Let’s just say that the New Deal is at a critical period. If something happens to the finally stable harem, who knows if the New Deal can continue to advance...
Jia Cong took out his imperial order and successfully led several people into the Armed Forces Academy.
It's better to say it's a school than a military camp.
Every time Jia Cong comes to the Royal Armed Forces Academy, he can't help but want to complain.
The biggest disagreement between Wang Ziteng, the executive vice president, and him, the director of the Political and Education Department, about the Armed Forces Academy was not the teaching of students, but the school's planning. The two argued endlessly about this.
Until now, Jia Cong feels unable to complain about the planning and construction of the college.
Let’s not talk about anything else. You should at least get a few decent dormitories. What’s the point of pitching tents everywhere?
Dean Wang, on the other hand, actually felt that Jia Cong had no military experience, and said that soldiers should be used to eating and sleeping in the open air, so that the trained soldiers would not feel uncomfortable when marching and fighting...
Jia Cong could not compete with Wang Ziteng on this point, because most of the martial arts officers in the court, including the Second Saint, sided with Wang Ziteng. Even the Pardon Master felt that Wang Ziteng was right.
"Jia Cong? Haha, what kind of wind is blowing today? Director Jia actually remembers to come to the Military Academy?"
This ridicule...
Jia Cong wanted to go back, but when he thought about how he packed up his bed and returned to Beijing overnight because he was afraid of the cold last winter, he felt a little embarrassed.
Grandpa Tian, it was so cold last winter. He had to go to court every now and then. No matter how thick the tent was and no matter how hot the stove was, how could his home be warm?
While he was talking, Wang Ziteng had already walked closer, cupped his fists towards Liu Shuo and said, "I pay homage to His Highness the Fifth Highness. Why did Your Highness leave the capital? Does Your Majesty know about Your Highness's departure from the capital?"
Ding~
Liu Shuo had a grimace and didn't know how to respond. He and I argued for a long time before Jia Cong answered.
"Don't mention it. I picked this kid up on the road when he sneaked out of the palace. Wang Dahou is better at these dirty deeds. I will ask Wang Dahou to help me with the details later."
Wang Ziteng ignored Jia Cong's strange aura, glanced at Liu Shuo meaningfully, and then asked Jia Cong's purpose of coming here.
Just listen to Jia Cong say: "His Majesty has issued an order to the prince and prince to enter the palace for today's palace banquet. There is another matter, your majesty asked me to inform the prince in advance. It is about the Japanese country..."
…
The carriage in Rongguo Mansion was very big, but Jia Cong still threw Liu Shuo into another carriage.
"In other words, Your Majesty needs a butcher's knife to clean up the insects on the Japanese island."
There was no hesitation on Wang Ziteng's face and he nodded: "I understand, it's not difficult. Once those Japanese are no longer of use, just throw them all into the sea!"
Hiss~
As expected of Wang Ziteng, who is known for being ruthless and ruthless, even the ruthless emperor would be stunned if he saw this method.
Jia Cong couldn't help but ask: "Master Wang, those are not 1,800, but tens of millions. Even if the Japanese women are eliminated, there are at least millions of Japanese. You really kill without blinking an eye!" I’m not afraid of being called a butcher…”
"Isn't this prince now known as a butcher?"
Wang Ziteng glanced sideways at Jia Cong, boy, you are still too young!
The emperor asked me to go to Japan to be a butcher. The more people who call me a butcher, the safer I will be and the more stable the future of the Wang family will be.
"You are soft-hearted. People who are not of my race must have different hearts, not to mention the Japanese who seem to be respectful but have rebellious white-eyed wolves."
Prince Teng Youyou said: "They are different from other vassals. Even people on the grasslands can become subjects of the emperor, but the Japanese, hehe... only the dead Japanese are good Japanese!"
Jia Cong felt sick when he thought of the Japanese, and muttered: "I'm not soft-hearted, just go and kill all the Japanese. If His Majesty hadn't ordered you to go, I would have wanted to hold a long knife and go to the Japanese island to kill a few people." Head pirate!"
Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's simple. I am short of a deputy general. Uncle Yongfeng wants to go when the time comes. I will request your Majesty to take you there to see if you are ruthless enough!"
Monthly ticket recommendation ticket
I’ll stop here tonight and continue tomorrow. Good night!
