The three of them walked slowly along the path in the back garden. Xiao Yi asked, "It's your first time leaving home, are you reluctant to leave?"
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's clear eyes dimmed for a moment, and she replied: "I feel a little reluctant to go back to Your Highness, but with sister Wenji here, I treat her as my own sister. From now on, we will slowly... Adapt to life here.”
Xiao Yi smiled softly and said: "Well, when you first enter the East Palace, you should really help each other and feel like sisters. In this way, you can have someone to take care of you."
"In fact, there are not many rules here. You are the prince's concubines. If you need anything, tell Huaiji directly. He will definitely do it if he can do it. If he can't do it, he will report it to me, and I will find a way. .”
Yang Yuhuan's tone was slightly gentle, and he said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Cai Wenji's clear and bright eyes turned under her beautiful eyebrows and she said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The two were sent to the palace the day before yesterday, and there were actually three other women. However, after seeing the list, Xiao Yi planned to meet these two first.
Because these two names were so familiar, it also made him suspect that he still didn't know enough about the world.
Of course, these two people and the person in history should just have the same name.
After all, these are two different times and spaces.
Xiao Yi glanced at Yang Yuhuan and continued: "I don't have many etiquette and etiquette here, and I won't ask you to do anything. Just treat it as if you are at home. I also like to see you young and lively."
"The previous East Palace was really boring."
Cai Wenji: "..."
Yang Yuhuan sighed quietly in his heart and said softly: "Here."
She knew the past of the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, and she understood what His Highness really meant when he said that the former East Palace was too boring.
Walked for a while.
It's getting late too.
Xiao Yi stood still, turned to look at Cai Wenji and Yang Yuhuan, and said, "Let's come here today. I have something else to do. You can take a walk around the East Palace to get familiar with it."
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan gave a salute and said, "Your Majesty."
Cai Wenji also quickly learned to give a salute.
All the while watching Xiao Yi leave, Yang Yuhuan frowned and never looked back.
"Sister, everyone is gone, but you are still watching." Cai Wenji stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Yang Yuhuan's eyes.
Yang Yuhuan blushed on her cheeks, glanced back at Cai Wenji, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Cai Wenji smiled softly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so heroic and mighty that he is the Mingjun who is the hero of this world. Has my sister been moved by ordinary hearts?"
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan frowned slightly with her delicate eyebrows. She stared at Cai Wenji with a pair of narrow, clear eyes, and said with annoyance and fondness: "You are so weird. Fortunately, Your Highness is broad-minded and so approachable. It's a little different from what we thought at the beginning. You were too settled just now. I wonder if you... like His Highness?"
"Ah...Sister Wenji!" Cai Wenji's heart skipped a beat, her pretty face showed eagerness, and she said, "I, this is the first time I've met Your Highness. How...why do I like him?"
Why couldn't Yang Yuhuan see what Cai Wenji was thinking?
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back." Yang Yuhuan said no more, took Cai Wenji's hand and headed towards Dongyuan.
…
The news that Yue Hongling led troops to Luzhou quickly spread outside the capital. Although some people had expected it, they still felt a sudden and unreal feeling when they heard the prince's edict was issued.
I thought that the world would be at peace if His Highness the Crown Prince liquidated the treacherous Prime Minister Li Linfu.
Who would have thought.
In less than a month, two prefects rebelled.
In the study room of the Taifu Mansion, behind a square of red wood, Zhang Jiuling was sitting on a black lacquered armchair, with a focused look on his face, holding a brush in his hand, and was writing something.
It can be seen through the light from the Xuan window that "the troops on the three sides are sparsely prepared."
Zhang Jiuling was able to become a veteran of the three dynasties. He was not only the leader of civil servants, but also a celebrity in the world. He was also familiar with military books. He followed the late Emperor Taizong in the northern and southern wars and made great contributions. He was also a top counselor. Now he is preparing to deal with The matter of the prefect's rebellion has been recorded in a summary, which is reported above.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the orthodox one, and they, the veterans of the capital, must also ensure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orthodox status.
Therefore, his memorial had a relatively large impact, directly naming Dong Zhuo as a traitor.
He refuted that Dong Zhuo was raising troops to cause trouble everywhere under the banner of the Qing Dynasty and separatizing the land east of the Yangtze River.
Just as Zhang Jiuling was writing the policy, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the house. Zhang Jiuling's son, Zhang Jianzhi, quickly entered the study, stood up next to the animal head incense cage, cupped his hands and said, "Father."
"You're back, have you asked for any news?" Zhang Jiuling put down his brush and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jianzhi. His skinny face was a little more calm than before.
Zhang Jianzhi said in a low voice: "Father, His Highness seems to intend to personally conquer the army. The grain and grass delivered by the Nanya Forbidden Army exceeded the specifications and far exceeded the budget of 30,000 Yulin Guards."
Zhang Jiuling sighed, feeling a little irritable for a while.
It is a good thing that the current Crown Prince is brave and resourceful. Otherwise, due to Li Linfu's rebellion, the Crown Prince might die in the East Palace.
However, the prince was brave and resourceful, but he was not so content.
Now that I heard that Dong Zhuo was plotting rebellion in Jiangdong and that Li Yuan was making changes in Jinyang, he even thought of conquering it himself.
You must know that the prince of the prison country has no heirs yet.
What would they do if something bad happened on the battlefield?
Should we welcome back the second prince, His Highness King Qin, or go beyond King Qin and welcome the third prince, His Highness King Yan?
Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and ordered: "Continue to wait and see, the prince's personal expedition may not be a bad thing."
When Zhang Jianzhi heard this, his expression was startled, and he hesitated and said: "Father, I..."
Zhang Jiuling took a sip of tea, looked at his eldest son, who was almost thirty years old, and said hummingly: "I know what you are thinking. This time, if His Highness the Crown Prince really goes on a personal expedition, you can go with him."
Zhang Jianzhi's expression changed, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Yes, father."
Zhang Jiuling raised his pen and said softly: "You were not allowed to serve as an official in the past. First of all, it was because of my status, which is not a good thing for you. A veteran of three dynasties, I am very famous, but I also let the Zhang family ask for it." Withstand the pressure that comes with such fame.”
"Secondly, Li Linfu controls the court. If you become an official, you will be elected by some people and used as a sword to suppress Li Linfu."
"But you are modest and kind-hearted, so you are not suitable for this sword at all."
"Do you understand?"
Only then did Zhang Jianzhi completely understand why his old father had been preventing him from becoming an official in the court. He was immediately moved and felt guilty.
Over the years, he has actually had some dissatisfactions.
He is a manly man, but he spends all his time at home, with no power in his hands and no money at home. How can he not complain?
…
On the afternoon of the 30th day of the first lunar month of the 24th year of Zhenyuan, the third prince, King Xiao Zheng of Yan, received the New Year's gift from the imperial court in Jiangxia City, as well as the latest issue of "Di Bao" delivered by a military horse.
In other words, the "Di Bao" is the serious Di Bao in Daqian, because the original intention of the Di Bao was to post information about important events from the court. Under Xiao Yi's deliberate reform, the Di Bao The above-mentioned relevant major events are really major affairs of the country and the dynasty.
Xiao Zheng first accepted the reward seriously, and entertained the envoy well. After everything was settled, he immediately returned to the study and opened the newspaper.
This newly delivered newspaper was much thicker than the ones I had received in the past half year, and the paper was also particularly wide and strong.
After all, the previous Di Bao was compiled by someone when Li Linfu was Prime Minister, and they were all high-sounding nonsense from some fans.
At that time, Xiao Zheng never read the Di newspaper.
Since the last time, that is, after Xiao Yi executed Li Linfu, he began to rectify the imperial newspaper. The first imperial newspaper after taking power was to condemn Li Linfu, a treacherous prime minister, for causing harm to the country and the people, and then some of the plans of the imperial court in the future.
They were all real contents, which greatly interested Xiao Zheng.
After Li Si's reminder, he understood how great the impact would be if such a report was made public.
This is completely a sharp sword to win people's hearts!
The Di newspaper records some things in great detail, and the layout is neat and orderly, making it clear at a glance.
For example, there was a whole newspaper about personnel arrangements. In addition to the transfer of officials in the court, there was also some commendation for heroes of the Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry Wang Jian led by him in the Battle of Jiujiang City.
For example, so-and-so took seven heads in one breath; so-and-so took an unknown head wearing a silk gourd-lined helmet, acting like a general; so-and-so took the lead and was brave enough to charge at the mouth of the river first, and attack others first. .
Xiao Zheng looked at it, and for a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
I admire my eldest brother's whimsical ideas, but I have some complex feelings about him lavishly praising his generals.
Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't think that his good brother could win Wang Jian's heart with this newspaper.
He trusted Wang Jian very much and believed that even if his good brother offered him high official positions, generous salary, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., he would not be able to make Wang Jian abandon him.
I think back then, Wang Jian was just a soldier in the army. He became famous because of a martial arts performance, and was attracted by Xiao Zheng, who took him with him from then on.
He also handed over to Wang Jian the military tactics and strategies he learned from Yue Shan.
After all, Wang Jian himself has the talent of a general. If such a person does not give advice, his talent will be wasted.
Xiao Zheng had the gift of guidance, and was equivalent to being Wang Jian's mentor.
He believed in Wang Jian, but he also wanted to write a letter to express his feelings and comfort Wang Jian.
Wang Jian will also see this newspaper.
In order to prevent him from having any thoughts, he naturally had to write a letter himself, and he could also ask about the situation of the war.
Now that we have occupied the mouth of the lake, it is time to continue heading north and approach the land east of Jiangdong.
