Yang Peng smiled and said: "I have never seen you like this."
Wang Rong was so embarrassed that she stood up and said, "Then I'll go change my clothes." Then she was about to leave. Yang Peng pulled her and smiled softly: "This is very good, why do you want to change?" Wang Rong looked at Yang Peng, her face flushed with blush, her beautiful eyes a little shy, a female general who spanned the sea, At this moment, she turned into a delicate and charming woman in the boudoir.
Yang Peng gently pulled, and Wang Rong's charming body fell onto Yang Peng's lap. Yang Peng hugged Wang Rong, their eyes locked in love. …
Yang Peng and his party left Hangzhou and returned to Bianliang. Hua Xiangrong looked at the retreating team from a distance, dazed there.
Shen Yuqiu smiled and said, "It's time for us to go back."
Hua Xiangrong came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she couldn't help but sigh. Shen Yuqiu smiled and said: "Miss, there is no need to be sad. His Majesty is very fond of the lady. Sooner or later, the lady will get what she wants!" Hua Xiangrong shook her head, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "He is just You pity me because you don't like me. I know it very well." Shen Yuqiu smiled and said: "Miss, you don't understand a hero like your majesty. Your majesty has always shown love to women. For those empresses, every time I'm afraid it's the same for everyone. Your Majesty admires the young lady's character and pities her life experience, which means he already likes the young lady." Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but blush when he heard what he said, and her heart was mixed with joy and sorrow, worrying about gains and losses.
Shen Yuqiu remembered something and said, "I almost forgot something. His Majesty has appointed the young lady as the general manager of the Hangzhou Palace. Now I want to call the young lady an adult!"
Hua Xiangrong felt a little incredible and asked, "Why is this?"
Shen Yuqiu smiled and said, "Don't you understand? This is His Majesty's care for the young lady!"
Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but think wildly in her heart: "He, he did this, could it, could it, yes, yes..." Hua Xiangrong felt that her heart was like a deer, and her face turned crimson.
Shen Yuqiu looked at Hua Xiangrong's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Your Majesty is really amazing. Not to mention fighting on the battlefield and governing the country, he is actually so popular among women!" But this is normal. A heroic figure like His Majesty may not be able to help himself if he is a woman! 'I couldn't help but laugh at the thought. Hua Xiangrong suddenly saw Shen Yuqiu's ambiguous smile, and was even more ashamed.
Shen Yuqiu said: "By the way, His Majesty has specially ordered that Mr. Hua be responsible for the orphan affairs of the entire Hangzhou. The Hangzhou Palace is used to house children under ten years old. Mr. Hua, those children you adopted in the compound can be moved It’s time to proceed to the palace.”
Hua Xiangrong felt unbelievable and said: "Brother, he actually used the palace to live in the orphans?" Shen Yuqiu smiled and said: "This is not surprising. Our Emperor is different from any emperor in the world. . Alas, it’s hard to believe that there is a king who doesn’t care so much about the palace he lives in. You should also know that Zhao Song’s palace in Lin’an has been used by his majesty to house disabled soldiers. Many previous dynasties in other places The imperial palace and the palace have also been used for similar purposes. Alas, our Majesty is really not like a king on earth, but more like a saint. We, the Chinese clan, are really lucky to have His Majesty as our leader! "
Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but smile when she thought of Yang Peng's pure, child-like smile when getting along with the children.
Shen Yuqiu looked at Hua Xiangrong's charming appearance and said with a smile: "However, our Majesty still has a shortcoming." Hua smiled and asked curiously: "Brother, does he have a shortcoming?" Shen Yuqiu said with a smile: "Actually, it can't be regarded as a shortcoming. I'm afraid all men in the world have the same problem, that is, they like beautiful women!" Hua Xiangrong understood that Shen Yuqiu was joking, and her face immediately turned red, and then she fell into a daze again.
Hua Xiangrong returned to her carriage, and the little maid immediately came to greet her. At this time, Shen Yuqiu was boarding his carriage and turned around and said, "Master Hua, since His Majesty's order has been issued, you should go to the palace to perform your duties as soon as possible. If you don't understand anything or need help, just come to me." Hua Xiangrong nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." Then she boarded the carriage with the help of the little maid. The little maid then boarded the carriage and said to the coachman: "Let's go." The coachman raised his whip, and the carriage started rolling and started heading towards the city.
The little maid asked curiously: "Miss, why did the Governor-General call Miss you, Master Zuohua, just now?"
Hua Xiangrong's face turned red and she said, "Before my elder brother left, he appointed me as the general manager of the Hangzhou Palace. ..." The little maid's eyes widened immediately, and then she exclaimed: "Miss, has become an official?!" Hua Xiangrong She said angrily: "Little girl, what are you talking about?" The little maid stuck out her tongue, and then said excitedly: "The young lady has become an official, and I have benefited from it!" Then she asked strangely: "Your Majesty, why did he give the title of young lady? Are you the general manager of the palace?" Then he showed a sudden look, "I know, this must be a trick played by His Majesty. In name, she is the general manager of the palace, but in fact, the lady is the concubine placed by His Majesty in the palace." Hua Xiangrong had already Just thinking of this, when the little maid actually said it, she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense! Brother obviously has good intentions, but you make it sound like you have ulterior motives!" The little maid didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
Hua Xiangrong suddenly said in a daze: "I have met countless men, and I have also met emperors. But in front of them, my heart seems to have died. I am not shy at all, let alone fluctuated. But, but in front of them, my heart feels like it is dead. In front of my eldest brother, I can't help but blush and feel flustered. Every time I see his eyes, I get so nervous that I can't control myself." The little maid pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Young lady likes your majesty, so this will happen naturally." Hua Xiangrong was stunned for a moment, and a touching blush appeared on her pretty face.
Yang Peng and his party traveled day and night on the road, and returned to Bianliang after more than ten days.
That night, Yang Peng was teaching martial arts to Xiao Rui'er, while his wives and other children were watching around. Despite her young age, Xiao Rui'er looked like a master in wielding the wooden sword. Facing her father, a mighty warrior, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she was very excited, roaring and shouting. Attack with a wooden sword. Yang Peng parried with a wooden sword but did not fight back. The dull collision sound of the two wooden swords continued to sound.
Yang Tong looked at Long Er, who was beside him with wide eyes and a look of fear, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He was upset that the son he gave birth to was obviously a son, but why didn't he look like his elder brother at all? On the contrary, the daughter raised by others is so brave and strong, she is just the replica of her eldest brother, and she is loved by him the most! In fact, Yang Tong is not the only one who feels this way. Even Yang Peng himself often feels strange. He doesn't understand why his sons are all gentle and gentle, not like him at all, but his daughter is like a bundle of energy that can never be used. He is like a little leopard, dancing with swords and jumping up and down. He has no interest in the compulsory homework for girls. He just likes to fight with others and ride horses to hunt. Although Yang Peng likes Rui'er very much, sometimes he can't help but worry about how such a wild girl will get married in the future! If my husband is not strong enough, I am afraid he will bully me to death!
Yang Peng looked at Rui'er, who kept rushing forward like a little leopard, and said with a smile: "Rui'er, dad is going to fight back." Rui'er seemed not to hear at all, and attacked even faster. Yang Peng saw her stabbing his left leg from the waist, and immediately took a step forward with his left leg to the upper left. Rui'er rushed too hard and rushed over her head, but was pushed behind by Yang Peng. Before he could turn around, he felt his father's iron-like arms hugging him. Rui'er struggled with her hands and legs and shouted, "Dad, you're dead! Don't count!"
Yang Peng hugged Rui'er and laughed: "If you lose, you lose. You can't cheat!" Rui'er shouted: "Dad, you used a trick! You promised not to dodge!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "A soldier never tires of deceit in a war. You can't just focus on fighting with others, and you can't believe anything the enemy says. Dad will teach you this lesson today." He put down Rui'er. Rui'er raised her little mouth and looked at her father. Yang Peng rubbed Rui'er's head, but he was a little surprised and said: "This little guy is so small, but he is so powerful. I am afraid that even I won't be able to take him down when he grows up." 'Yang Peng and Rui'er were fighting swords just now. I felt that Rui'er was not only extraordinary in bearing, but also in strength and speed. It was far beyond what a child of a few years old should be able to do. Other children as old as her would probably still be in the arms of their parents. Being coquettish. What shocked Yang Peng the most was Rui'er's aggressive spirit, as fierce as a tiger, as anxious as fire, and indomitable. There was only one man in a million who could have such momentum, and every one who appeared would be that one. The greatest warrior of the era. Yang Peng couldn't help feeling depressed and sighing: The daughter I gave birth to is actually such a natural warrior!
The wives and children gathered around. Yang Tong handed Yang Peng a towel, while Chai Yonghui squatted in front of Rui'er and wiped his sweat with a towel, his eyes filled with mother's love. Yang Rui grinned, looking very happy. Chai Yonghui couldn't help laughing when he looked at his daughter, and said dotingly: "Why do you like to dance with swords, my child?" Rui'er pointed at the father next to her and said, "Dad, he likes to dance with swords. Sword, I am my father's daughter, so naturally I also like to dance with swords! If I don't like to dance with swords, wouldn't I be my father's daughter!" When everyone heard her words, she was as innocent as a tongue twister. He couldn't help but laugh at the words. However, Yang Tong was unhappy, feeling as if these words were referring to her and her children, and the hatred towards Chai Yonghui and her daughter could not help but increase a little more.
Jiang Li ran over, clasped her fists towards Yang Peng and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Hua Xu." Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji, who shook her head and said, "I didn't know there was news, it should have just come. Yang Peng smiled at his wives and children and said, "You go ahead and play, I'll go see what's going on." Then he left, followed by Yan Ji and Jiang Li.
After Yang Peng left, everyone felt bored, so they went back to their bedrooms.
Yang Tong took Long Er back to his palace, stepped back and called Long Er to him. Seeing his mother's unhappy expression, Long Er couldn't help but feel a little scared. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his mother. When Yang Tong saw his son acting timid and cowardly again, he was very angry and shouted: "Raise your head!" Long Er was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his head to look at his mother with a scowl on his face, feeling uneasy and uneasy. Understand where you went wrong.
Yang Tong said in an irrefutable tone: "From tomorrow on, you don't need to learn the art of internal affairs. You have to learn martial arts and the art of war."
Long Er was taken aback and couldn't help but said: "Mother, I, I don't like martial arts and war, I, I'm afraid of those!..."
Yang Tong shouted: "Shut up!"
Long Er was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore. His mouth slumped and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes. He looked very aggrieved. When Yang Tong saw this, he couldn't help but softened. He held his son in his arms and couldn't help but shed tears, saying: "Long'er, mother also knows that you don't like those things. But you must learn those things! Because you are great Prince of the Ming Dynasty, if you don’t know how to fight and can’t compete with others on the battlefield, not only will your father not like you, but even your subjects will despise you!”
When Long'er heard her mother say that her father didn't like her, she felt even more aggrieved. She cried and said, "Long'er is so good. Father, why, why don't you like Long'er? Mother, what you said is wrong. Father is so fond of Long'er." My son is very good! This time when my father came back, he even gave Long Er a special gift. Last night, my father even took Long Er to take a bath! My father likes Long Er so much!"
Yang Tong said angrily: "No matter how much your father likes you, he can't compare to Yang Rui!" Long Er opened his clear eyes and said: "Sister Rui'er is my father's daughter, and my father likes sister Rui'er. Is there something wrong?" Yang Tong couldn't help but feel a hatred for iron that cannot be transformed into steel. He said angrily: "Stop talking about it. Mom has already decided. Starting from tomorrow, you will learn martial arts and the way of war. No. Let that Yang Rui steal the spotlight. Humph, you are His Majesty's legitimate second son, and Yang Rui is just a daughter!" Long Er wanted to tell the difference, but when he saw his mother's expression was very scary, the words came to his lips. But he didn't dare to say it.
Yang Peng and the others came to the study. Wang Lu bowed and said, "I have met your Majesty and the two empresses." Then he took out a letter and presented it with both hands.
Yan Ji walked up to Wang Mian, took the letter, and returned and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng said: "Read it." Yan Ji opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read: "Master, my subordinates have discovered a major situation in Rome. The Pope has issued an oracle to all Catholic countries. Call on them to gather forces and attack Yanyun next spring and summer. The situation is extremely urgent!"
Yang Peng frowned, thinking of the report he had received from the merchant before. The contents of the two reports were consistent. It should not be that they had misunderstood on both sides. It seems that the Holy See really wants to launch a so-called holy war against the Ming Dynasty. . He smiled coldly, and then a question arose in his mind. He looked at Yan Ji and asked, "Have you finished reading? Is there anything else in the letter?"
Yan Ji said: "There are more." Then Yan Ji continued to read: "In order to confirm this news, my subordinates conducted various investigations and discovered a situation. The reason why the Pope of Rome called on all Catholic countries to launch a holy war against me is because they think that we The Ming Dynasty persecuted Catholics and massacred Catholic believers. In addition, the so-called pope of the Eastern Diocese made a request to the Archbishop of Rome for jihad. However, my subordinates believe that these are just excuses. What the Pope of Rome and other Catholic countries covet is the endless wealth of our Ming Dynasty. ." After Yan Ji read this, she raised her head and said, "It's over."
Jiang Li frowned and said, "Although we have banned the Catholic Church, how can we start killing Catholics?"
Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "Those are all excuses, just like what our Jin Yiwei said." Then he frowned, "Although they are all excuses, the two sides are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. How can those Westerners be sure that we have the Ming Dynasty?" Endless wealth? You can't just rely on legends, right? Who is this Eastern Pope?" Yan Ji said: "Although the previous action to ban Catholicism was very successful, the Pope and a few core members are on the run. This We, Hua Xu, have been searching for them for a while, but unexpectedly they actually escaped to Rome!"
Yang Peng said: "It doesn't matter what the reason is now. What we should consider is how to deal with the so-called holy war." Then he smiled, "Everyone said that the Crusaders were so powerful, but I didn't take it seriously. Don’t worry too much about what we should do. Even if the Crusaders really come, the defense forces in various places are enough to deal with it." Looking at Yan Ji, he said: "Instruct our Jinyi guards to continue collecting intelligence." Yan Ji clasped her fists in agreement.
At this time, a female guard led a herald and ran in. She cupped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Wang Hai has sent a military report."
Yang Peng looked at the herald and said with a smile: "I was waiting for news from him, and finally it's here." As mentioned before, when Yang Peng was preparing to conquer the Japanese country in the east in Hangzhou, he received a report from Jin Yiwei and made adjustments. After the deployment, it was originally planned to mobilize all the main naval forces to attack the Japanese country, but in the end only half of them were dispatched. Where did the remaining half go? It turned out that he was sent to Nanyang by Yang Peng. At that time, Yang Peng received a report that King Mayi colluded with the Japanese and provided locations as Japanese strongholds. The Japanese used these strongholds as pirates to attack the Nanyang trade route.
Yang Peng estimated that once a great victory was achieved in the Eastern Conquest of Japan, the Japanese prince would be so panicked that he would transfer back all the pirates in Nanyang. Therefore, the first task of Wang Hai's navy was to ambush them halfway, and they must completely eliminate the Japanese navy.
The herald came forward and presented the military report.
Yang Peng signaled Yan Ji with his eyes, and the latter stepped forward to receive the military report. When the herald saw the empress coming in front of her, he couldn't help but become nervous. He smelled a rich and wonderful fragrance and felt dizzy. He didn't know where he was in the world.
When the herald came back to his senses, he found that the empress was already reading the military report for His Majesty: "The general has fulfilled his mission and intercepted the enemy troops south of Ryukyu and besieged them on all sides. In less than half a day, the enemy collapsed. Immediately, our army chased north and completely wiped out the enemy. Except for a few enemy warships that escaped, all the rest were raped. The last general is now leading the army to take advantage of the situation and go south to seize Manila. Your Majesty is mighty, the Ming army is mighty, this is I believe I can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Yan Ji raised her head and said, "That's all." Yang Peng nodded and sneered, "I didn't want to take Mayi to task, but since these grandsons are seeking death, I will help them."
Yan Ji said with some worry: "Can Wang Hai's 20,000 naval troops successfully attack Mayi?" Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry about this. Mayi is very backward. Although there are many people, but They don’t understand war at all, and Wang Hai’s navy is more than enough to deal with them.” Forgot to introduce it, Mayi is actually the ancient name of the Philippines, which means the country of black people. Haha, the black people here are not actually what we think. Black Africans actually refer to the brown people with darker skin in Southeast Asia.
It was quiet at night, Yang Peng was leaning on the embroidered pillow, and Han Bing was lying naked on Yang Peng's chest, her face was red, and her beautiful eyes were still full of spring.
Yang Peng glanced down at Han Bing and joked: "You were so fierce just now, as if you wanted to eat your husband!" Han Bing rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "After being gone for so long, do you still blame me for being cruel?" Yang Peng couldn't help but wonder. With a thousand twists and turns, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Han Bing's eyes showed passion again. He straightened up his upper body and showed his proud body in front of Yang Peng. There was a wild charm in his beautiful eyes and he said: "Brother, I want to ride a horse again! "Yang Peng chuckled and was about to speak when a feeling of great pleasure suddenly came over him. He couldn't help but hum. He saw Han Bingzhen moving like a horse, with rough waves. Both of them were immersed in boundless bliss. …
At midnight, Yang Peng woke up. Seeing Han Bing's pink legs and jade arms tightly wrapped around her, with her beautiful face resting on her shoulders, she couldn't help but smile. Carefully getting out of Han Bing's entanglement, he walked behind the distant screen to relieve himself. In the middle of the night, I could only hear the rustling sound. Yang Peng finished untying his hands and felt less sleepy. Seeing that the night was just right, he simply put on his robe and walked out of Han Bing's bedroom.
When I raised my head, I saw the bright moon shining brightly, there was no wind tonight, and the air was so refreshing, I couldn't help but feel relaxed. Yang Peng left Han Bing's palace along the cobblestone road and came to the lakeside of the harem. I saw the lake water sparkling, like thousands of pieces of jade rippling in the lake water. At this time, the weather was warm, and Yang Peng couldn't help but take off his robe, and plunged into the lake with a loud splash. Yang Peng felt so cool and happy that he couldn't help but want to scream.
At this moment, firelight flickered all around, people looked longingly, and the faint sound of clanging soldiers could be heard. Chen Xiao took a closer look and found that several teams of Feifeng female guards were coming from all directions. Someone said: "The sound is coming from the lake, please search carefully!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
