The seventh day of July is the Qiqiao Festival. For women in the boudoir, this day is more important than the New Year.
The defense between men and women has always been great. A woman who has not left the palace must not go out at will without her relatives accompanying her. For thousands of years, this ritual has been strictly adhered to by rich and poor, wealthy and wealthy.
There is another way to say Qiao Qiao Festival, which is called Women’s Day. This is the only day in the year when a woman can tell her parents to go out, but it does not hinder the ethics.
The streets and alleys of the capital were crowded with people, and the laughter of young girls was endless. As Xia Chengyi walked along, he felt lonely as never before, as if he had been abandoned by the world.
After getting up early and kneeling in front of his mother's mourning hall for two hours, Xia Chengyi walked out of Prince Jaw's Mansion. At this time, Xia Chengxuan and Du Chong had entered the palace. Chu Zhong had not returned from going to investigate the cause of Xia Muchao's death, and no one in the palace could stop her.
What's more, today is the Qiao Qiao Festival.
Although the capital city is large, Xia Chengyi has not been to many places. The farthest away is the Willow and Bamboo Forest in the west of the city. That day, if Mei Yuanchen, Haezhi and others had not protected her, she would probably have been kidnapped by the swordsmen sent by He Zan.
"Liu Bamboo Forest?"
Xia Chengyi thought of Liuzhulin and the Yantail Pond in Liuzhulin.
When it comes to relaxing, how can this place compare to Yanweitang?
She suddenly stopped and turned around to walk towards a rough-faced man in gray robe behind her.
"Master Taotie, I want to go to Liuzhu Forest." Xia Chengyi walked up to him and said softly.
The middle-aged man nodded, replied, "I'll make arrangements," and disappeared into the sea of people.
After Taotie left, another tall old man followed Xia Chengyi. He was another master from Prince Jaw's Mansion: Hua Fang.
After Hu Fengju and Hu Xiu'an and his son were captured, Xia Chengxuan separated the gold guards in the capital and sent them to various streets and alleys to intimidate all parties. The palace defense is temporarily led by soldiers from the 28th Mansion and the Shenshao Battalion.
Xia Muzhou is the commander-in-chief of the Shenshao Camp. Prince Duan also led the Shenshao Camp for many years when he was young. The Shenshao Camp can be said to be the greatest support of Prince Duan's palace. However, the Shenshao Camp is an imperial guard. It does not participate in political disputes, but it is a century-old iron system inherited within the Shenshao Camp. Since the founding of the dynasty, Dahua has never heard of a Shenshao Camp affiliated with the party.
This is why King Duan never thought of using the Shenshao Battalion to deal with the Golden Guards.
After Xia Muyan and his wife committed suicide, the Yunwang sect dispersed, and was dead in name and in reality. Originally, Xia Jingyu was not willing to support Xia Chengxuan to the throne. In his opinion, even though King Zhi died and his son was still there, Xia Chengcan was the best candidate for the throne. He has received so much kindness from Prince Zhi over the years, and now is the perfect opportunity to repay his kindness.
However, Xia Chengxuan had also been on guard. As soon as Ma Dushan's troops evacuated, Du Chong sent people to Baihe Temple in the south of the city, and took Qin Yinzhen and others directly to Prince Jia's Mansion.
When the mistress was captured, Xia Jingyu sighed and had no choice but to hand over the military power honestly and entered the palace with King Duan, Ran Jieting, Qin Xiaoyou and others.
The iron-clad people and the flowing emperor.
The people in the capital had indeed seen the big world. In just two days, they had forgotten all the fierce battles that had occurred inside and outside the city.
"Princess, we are in such troubled times right now, so we can't stay out for too long." Hua Fang stood by her side and said with a look of pity on her face. He came to Prince Jaw Mansion before Xia Chengyi was born and really watched her grow up.
Among the top ten guards in the house, three of them, Yongzhu, Hundun and Qiongqi, have children, but the remaining seven have never married. Everyone has always regarded the two young masters as their grandchildren.
Ever since the news of Xia Muchao's death came back, evil things have continued in the Jaw Palace. Xia Chengyi has lost a lot of weight and looks gloomy. Hua Fang can't help but feel pain in his heart when he sees this.
Xia Chengyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer him.
"Master Hua Fang, has my brother become the emperor?" Xia Chengyi suddenly asked after a long silence.
Hua Fang didn't expect that she would ask this, so he smiled a little strangely and replied: "This... I don't want to talk nonsense. However, King Yun has surrendered, and the prince has also entered the palace with all the ministers. , I think there won’t be anything wrong with this matter, it’s only a matter of time before I ascend the throne.”
At this point, he still couldn't believe that all of this was true.
The biggest reliance of the Jaw Palace in seizing the heir apparent was Xia Muchao's "wisdom". No one would think that the Jaw Palace would still be able to seize the heir apparent without Xia Muchao. It was in this situation that no one could have imagined that Xia Chengxuan made a desperate counterattack. Not only did he take over Prince Yun's palace, but he almost even took the throne.
Who would have expected that?
Who dares to imagine?
But eighteen-year-old Xia Chengxuan really did it.
"Haha, I haven't seen my brother for two days, so why don't I say congratulations to him." Xia Chengyi forced a smile, but secretly suffered in his heart, "My father and mother are gone, and he is thousands of miles away. Brother He is too busy with family and country affairs to take care of me. Is there anyone more pitiful than me in the world?"
Hua Fang blinked his eyes and sighed softly: "Your Majesty has achieved good results. The prince and princess know what they are doing, so they should be able to rest in peace."
While the two were talking, a pair of Qilin chariots rushed over, led by Yingsheng and Taotie.
"Princess, please get on the chariot!" Taotie jumped off his horse and called Xia Chengyi softly.
Thinking of being able to go for a walk in the willow and bamboo forest, Xia Chengyi finally felt a little happy, said "yes" and entered the carriage.
Hundreds of people protected the four chariots as they turned westward.
... ...
The rising sun was in the sky, and a horse was galloping towards the east.
After breakfast, Mei Yuanchen said goodbye to everyone in the house and rode eastward without looking back.
On the way to Jinzhou from the capital, Mei Yuanchen was riding a horse prepared by Prince Jia's palace. Although he is strong and strong, he is not good at traveling far. On the first day, he was able to travel 800 miles, but on the second day, he only traveled more than 700 miles. On the third day, he could not travel more than 600 miles. When he arrived outside Jinzhou City, he was so exhausted that he almost collapsed.
The situation in the capital was extremely unfavorable for Prince Jia's Mansion, and Mei Yuanchen's return this time was much more urgent than before. Therefore, Mei Siyuan sent people to the military camp in Jinzhou early in the morning and asked Guo Zimu for a military horse.
Military horses have always been an important asset in the army, and are more valuable than ordinary infantry. There are 30,000 troops stationed in the Jinzhou garrison, but only 4,500 military horses. The one Mei Siyuan wants to come is the strongest and strongest one among them, which is Guo Zimu's mount.
News of Xia Muren's death had already reached Jinzhou. He Houtang and Guo Zimu had lost their backers, so they naturally had to act more restrained. Not to mention that Mei Siyuan just asked for his military horses, but even if he made some harsh requests to him, Guo Zimu had no choice but to comply.
Of course, after the Battle of Suzhou, Guo Zimu also admired Mei Siyuan in his heart. I gave him my horse 90% of the time out of willingness.
"Heifeng! General Guo said this horse is called Heifeng." This is what the Yamen soldiers said to Mei Yuanchen when they brought the horse over.
"Black Wind?" Mei Yuanchen smiled and praised, "What a name!"
