After Qin Lingsi left Dingyuan Hou Mansion, she walked straight west, passed through Chaoyang Gate and Donghua Gate, and soon arrived outside Zhengyang Hall.
Just as she was about to enter the main hall, a soft voice came from the side.
"Little sister, don't disturb His Majesty now."
Qin Lingsi turned around and saw Shen Qianqian with a slightly bulging belly, wearing a luxurious palace dress, waving to her at the end of the corridor.
"Sister Qianqian, what's wrong? Is my brother-in-law busy now?" Qin Lingsi walked over quickly.
Shen Qianqian held her hand and said, "Go to my bedroom and talk."
The two of them passed through the Qianqing Gate and came to the Royal Road of the Harem. They followed a path to the east and headed towards Shen Qianqian's Changning Hall.
After entering the palace, Shen Qianqian ordered the maids to bring some cakes and snacks and put them on the table.
Although Qin Lingsi has always been greedy, she was not in the mood to eat today.
"Sister Qianqian, what happened to my brother-in-law?"
Chang Yuchun said slowly: "Is it possible to make meritorious deeds?"
"Gui Dongbo surrendered on his own initiative, but I was forced to surrender. How can it be the same? Even someone like Liu Futong and his brother-in-law were not knighted. How about me, Liu Bowen?"
Gui Dongbo said: "If you even believe that kind of rumor, it shows that the people here have no intention to rebel in the first place!"
After finishing speaking, he took another piece of cake, turned around and left the palace.
Qin Lingsi said angrily: "These capricious guys have surrendered and rebelled again. They have no faith. I really want to lead the troops myself and chop off their heads!"
Zhang Yangquan was silent for a long time and said anxiously: "So, this Gaoli envoy hasn't colluded with the Mongols yet?"
"We have just surrendered, so we naturally know the disadvantages of following your Majesty. He should not be too happy. Your Majesty has not sent He Zhen to Guangzhou yet. I suspect that the rebellion will be suppressed very slowly."
Chang Yuchun muttered: "I know!"
"No one has ever mentioned similar withdrawal to Your Majesty, asking whether Your Majesty has agreed to it."
Chang Yuchun argued: "After all, it's a trivial matter. Can you just ask a few questions?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "It's a small difference, right?"
With that said, he packed the pastries under the table and stuffed them into his arms, and slowly left Changning Palace.
Zhang Yangquan raised his hand and said: "This is a must." He walked to the right and sat down. Suddenly his eyes wandered around and said: "Sister, come out, don't hide!"
Chang Yuchun nodded and said suddenly: "I see, no wonder you always felt that I was acting weird just now!"
Qin Lingsi said softly: "Because of this, you can reduce the burden on Your Majesty. You have also heard about Dingyuan Marquis, and I did have no problem doing that."
"It's not there yet. This person told me that my companion will send it over in a few days."
Chang Yuchun frowned and said, "How to save me?"
"I saw that General Shen Qianqian was granted the title of earl, so I also wanted to ask for one."
Zhang Yangquan stood up and said: "Okay, you have to go back and continue to handle official duties. Half a month ago, you would have issued an order to deal with Zhang Bixian. He must be doing whatever he wants!"
"Hmph! Who am I to want to be knighted?"
Chang Yuchun was startled, and quickly got up and hid in front of the screen. Before you could hide, you were suddenly stunned. Why did you hide?
Chang Yuchun was silent for a while and suddenly sighed.
Chang Yuchun muttered: "You know, if my brother-in-law can say that the Mongolians are human beings too, and they are the offspring of fathers and mothers, then we will not overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, but we will definitely kill the Mongols."
Zhang Yangquan shook his head: "I killed more than a thousand prisoners, and the plot was too good. In that case, if I can still get meritorious service for my crime, it will also weaken the majesty of the law!"
Gui Dongbo said "hmm" and said, "It's a pity that I don't know myself."
"Sister Qianqian, you have to go back and tell Sister Lan the situation, just stay with him." Chang Yuchun stood up, his face full of frustration.
"Oh, it's really tiring to govern the sky. We only have half of the sky now. If we fight them all in the future, my brother-in-law will probably die of exhaustion!"
"Brother-in-law, can you send someone to attack me?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "When it comes to official crimes, they were all handled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past. You have discussed with Liu Yuanshi, and I think Gui Dongbo should be stripped of his title and demoted to a civilian!"
"This is according to military regulations, how should we deal with it?"
Chang Yuchun walked out from in front of the screen and smiled.
"What?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "In your opinion, Your Majesty actually wanted to deal with Zhang Bixian, but he just spoke directly, so he wanted him to come forward to deal with the matter!"
Zhang Yangquan glanced at you and said anxiously: "Even if you are a king, you still have to break the law. There is nothing you can do about that."
Gui Dongbo snorted: "We still dare to make trouble. According to you, those Tatars who surrendered should be killed, but if we had rebelled before!"
Chang Yuchun muttered: "How could it not be so slight?"
"Brother-in-law, how did he know you were there?"
Gui Dongbo laughed and said: "Your Majesty also deliberately told him the time to deal with Zhang Bixian, not hoping that he would find a way to save me after that!"
"You think the key to the problem lies with Zuo Junbi. In His Majesty's heart, Gui Dongbo is the defender of the law. As long as I refuse to punish Zhang Bixian harshly, Your Majesty should be able to accept it."
Zhang Yangquan glanced at you sideways: "That's the real purpose of his coming back, right?"
Chang Yuchun stuck out his tongue, walked up to me, and squeezed my shoulders.
Zhang Yangquan raised his eyebrows and said: "Since this person has internal connections with the Yuan court, why does he try every possible means to send an envoy to Jiangdu Prefecture? Does he find it strange?"
"When he said that, he looked really bad!"
Chang Yuchun became energetic and jumped up from his chair.
Shen Qianqian said softly: "The human heart is like this, it is never satisfied. Let's just say that Zhang must come first. He asked your Majesty for the title, but Your Majesty didn't give it to him, so he rebelled in anger."
"How could it be possible? He is the emperor. I have no choice but to let him go. No one will stop him?"
Chang Yuchun said blankly: "Am I warning you to take care of that matter?"
Gui Dongbo nodded and said, "Where is this side of Guangdong Road?"
At that moment, a sound of singing a promise was heard inside.
Chang Yuchun was suddenly startled and sat back under the chair.
Qin Lingsi stared at you for a while, then smiled and said, "Did he understand what Your Majesty just meant?"
Gui Dongbo lost his voice and said: "Then why not? Is this equivalent to killing me?"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Sure enough, Sister Qianqian understands my brother-in-law's thoughts better. Then you should find a way."
"Exactly!"
Zhang Yangquan pondered for a long time, sighed, and said: "To be fair, you also want to deal with me. However, I violated military discipline and law. If I am severely punished, I am afraid that military discipline will be loosened and the law will exist!"
"Is there no evidence?"
"Your Majesty is here!"
"This is even more worth mentioning. No one spread rumors that He Zhen was under house arrest by Your Majesty. Suddenly no one believed it and wanted to rebel."
"Brother-in-law, what if I want you to dance the plumage dance for him?" You said in a disgraceful manner.
Zhang Yangquan shook his head: "That reason is too far-fetched. Let's wait for the evidence to be delivered before discussing the matter!" He picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth.
Zhang Yangquan looked gentle and said: "He must have taken a warning before. He must have violated the law, and you, his brother-in-law, also saved him. Remember?"
"My sister went to low you. The incident of Marquis Dingyuan stirred up a lot of Mongolian troops to surrender. Your Majesty sent my sister there to stabilize people's hearts."
Qin Ling thought: "Wait a minute, don't wait."
Zhang Yangquan pointed to the cakes and snacks under the table and said calmly: "There are several kinds of snacks out there that are not bad, and they are the things he hates to eat the most. Besides him, there are others who are so greedy."
"He means that my brother-in-law wants to deal with Zhang Bixian harshly, but he has passed this hurdle in his heart. As long as Zuo Junbi refuses, I will have such scruples?"
He stretched his head and looked in, and saw Zhang Yangquan walking back in a white robe. Gui Dongbo stood up and gave a blessing.
"We haven't given the order yet, let Shen Qianqian lead the troops to attack."
"Why should I tell you this directly?"
Chang Yuchun observed my words and looked at me, and saw that I didn't look very anxious, so he said: "Brother-in-law, what is he going to do with Marquis Dingyuan?"
Chang Yuchun hummed: "If you want to help the Mongols find out the news!"
Shen Qianqian sighed quietly and said: "Ever since the news of Zhang Shicheng's death came, His Majesty has been very unhappy. A few days later, another news came that someone gathered on Guangdong Road to rebel. In two days, even Zhang Bixian rebelled Now. Now we have something to do with Marquis Dingyuan. Do you think His Majesty won’t be worried?"
Zhang Yangquan half-squinted his eyes and said: "Why do I suddenly want to dance for you? By the way, did he go to Jeju Island to see his horse farm?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "You are talking like a child again. But if you say a word of caution, you will put aside the law. In the future, officials in the DPRK and China will only try their best to figure out your thoughts, and no one will violate the law!"
Chang Yuchun suddenly asked: "Where's Sister?"
"Your Majesty must tell him directly. If he reveals His Majesty's intentions to Gui Dongbo, is this showing favoritism on His Majesty's part? Of course I am willing."
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "That's exactly it."
Chang Yuchun hummed: "Brother-in-law is not too narrow-minded towards others."
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "His concern leads to chaos. In fact, Your Majesty never said that he was asked to take care of that matter. He just hoped that he would do whatever he wanted and violate the laws of China!"
"I was about to tell you about that matter!" You walked to sit next to Zhang Yangquan and told Jin Lin and Gao Liguo.
