Chapter 1597 Jia Heng: Wants to use the dead man’s spiritual tablet to overwhelm the living
…
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Concubine Duanrong sat down on a soft couch covered with a mattress. After listening to Li Zan's words, her heart trembled slightly and she was a little confused.
The concubine Duanrong's plump eyebrows were curved as if they were spring mountains, and her beautiful crystal clear eyes were as bright as water. She whispered: What does Mr. Li Ge want to say?"
Li Zan said: "I don't want to say anything, but as the empress is the noble concubine of Emperor Xianzong, and she gave birth to Lin'er for Emperor Xianzong, she should shoulder the mission of extending the country."
At the end of the sentence, Li Zan's voice was a little low, but just enough for Concubine Duanrong to hear clearly.
After hearing these words, Concubine Duanrong's appearance suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but stir up a storm in her heart.
What exactly does Mr. Li Ge mean by this?
After Li Zan finished speaking, he couldn't help but stand up, bowed to Concubine Duanrong, and said: "My Lady, it's not too late to talk in detail when we go to the Ancestral Temple to worship during the Ghost Festival."
Concubine Duanrong didn't say much and responded softly, but her mind fell into a brief daze.
After Li Zan left, Concubine Duanrong's bright and beautiful face seemed to be cast in a gloomy color.
What does Mr. Li Ge mean? Does he want to support Ze'er to become a great treasure?
Duan Rong, the imperial concubine, felt a little confused for a moment.
I never thought that my son would be able to ascend the throne, but now something like this happened.
If Ziyu finds out...
And that day, Ziyu probably caught a glimpse of her. No, he probably just noticed that someone was peeking, and he may not know that it was her.
Fortunately, Ziyu didn't see it was her.
Concubine Duanrong thought of what happened that day. Under her emerald eyebrows, on her elegant and cold face, two blushing blushes could be seen. It was clearly the scene of going in and out, which made the beauty
My heart trembled non-stop.
This Ziyu, really...how could he bully his sister like that?

Ningguofu, Qiu Shuangzhai
After Jia Heng and Tan Chun had a meal together, they sat down on the soft couch in the back room again.
At this moment, it is exquisite and unique, outside the courtyard of pavilions.
You can hear the sound of wind constantly coming and going in the corridor, and you can see ripples forming in circles on the lake in front of Qiushuangzhai Pavilion.
On the embroidered couch, Jia Heng gently hugged Tan Chun's soft and delicate body, feeling another burst of lingering sadness.
After a long time, Tan Chun snuggled a green hair like a waterfall into the arms of the boy in the python suit. The plump and white face was as red as drunkenness, and the sparkling beautiful eyes were filled with traces of happiness.
The beauty of spring.
Under Tan Chun Chun Shan's dark eyebrows, her heart couldn't help but tremble inexplicably. There was a hint of murmuring in her delicate and soft voice as she said, "Brother Heng."
He is clearly immersed in some lingering aftertaste.
Jia Heng gently reached out and caressed Tanchun's smooth and tender shoulders, feeling an inexplicable joy well up in his heart.
Min Tanchun, who has such a charming and generous temperament, is currently staying between the bed curtains, combining shyness and enthusiasm.
Jia Heng calmed down, glanced at the vast and dark sky outside, and whispered: "Third sister, it's getting late, I got up first."
On Tanchun's side, that plump and pleasant face was as bright as the clouds. He said softly "Hmm" and immediately said nothing else.
At this moment, Jia Heng couldn't help but look for a pair of black Chaoyun official boots, stood up quickly, and stared at the sky outside. It could be seen that the sky was dark, and the bright lights had been lit up one after another on the corridor.
Tanchun felt the heat surging in his lower abdomen. Under his Cuili eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, what should I do if I'm pregnant?"
Jia Heng gently stroked Tan Chun's round and smooth shoulders and whispered: "If the third sister has a child, please give birth to it."
Hearing this, Tan Chun felt a little sweet in his heart and said, "Then if I have children in the future, I don't know how to raise them."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, put his arms around Tan Chunxiang's soft and delicate body, and said: "Take care of him slowly, teach him well, learn some literary, Taoist and military tactics, and he will be able to serve as an official in the future."
Tanchun Liu's eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with charming waves. She said softly, "Hmm," and said, "Brother Heng, what if it's a girl?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Girl, I like her too. When the time comes, she will be as heroic as the third sister. How could I not like her?"
Tan Chunfang was so happy that she softly said "Hmm", her plump and charming face flushed, and she immediately nestled her beautiful head in Jia Heng's arms, listening to the strong heartbeat of her beloved brother.
, for a moment, the scene of him running in the courtyard with his children seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
Thinking of this, the girl's inner lake couldn't help but ripples appeared in circles.
Jia Heng said: "In the future, the third sister may not see the light of day."
When Tan Chun heard this, his heart was shaken. He stared at Jia Heng and said, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Actually, I am not the son of the Jia family."
Now, he can tell Tanchun his life story.
In fact, with the death of Emperor Chongping, there is no longer much confidentiality about his life experience. The only thing that needs to be worried about is the identity of the heir of the deposed prince, which may cause some people to speculate about his revenge on Emperor Chongping.
Tan Chun couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng..."
How could Brother Heng not be from the Jia clan?
How could it be possible after all these years?
But then I thought about it, and all the doubtful things in the past made sense at this moment.
Jia Heng gently reached out and stroked Tanchun's round and smooth shoulders, and said: "This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. In short, there will be a time in the future when we will recognize our ancestors and return to the clan. At that time, the third sister will also have a status."
After hearing this, Tan Chun's charming and bright face changed. Immediately, her heart couldn't help being surprised and happy.
Jia Heng said: "At that time, the child in the third sister's belly will also have a birthright."
Tanchun's charming and bright face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
She doesn’t have a child yet, so is she now thinking about her future child’s status?
However, if this matter is resolved in the future, there will be other possibilities.
Jia Heng gently touched Tan Chun's shoulder and said, "Third sister, it's getting late. I have to go back."
Tanchun responded softly, his plump and lovely face as red as blood, his voice as loud as a mosquito, with endless shyness.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he stood up.
After a while, I couldn't help but come to the side of the hall, staring at the dusk that was already falling outside the window, and I felt a little distant in my heart.
The cool summer breeze blows the lanterns under the eaves of the corridor, and the lights flicker, orange like water.

After Jia Heng left Qiu Shuangzhai, came to the front yard, entered the study room, and met Chen Xiao head-on.
Chen Xiao handed over a piece of paper in his hand and said: "Just now, the flying pigeon of the Jinyi Mansion detective next to Xie Zaiyi passed a message. Yangping Pass has been lowered, and the Beijing camp's army has entered Shu. Wherever the army moves, it is overwhelming.
, the Shu army was defeated steadily."
Jia Heng said: "Soldiers are more important than speed, which is the key to victory. The war in Sichuan should not be delayed for too long."
Chen Xiao said: "Baoning Prefecture may not be easy to capture. There are also Jiange and Jiameng Pass. The mountains are dangerous and the advance may not be smooth."
Jia Heng nodded, his face paused slightly, and he whispered: "Before Yangping Pass is the vast land of Hanzhong, and the military strength can be spread out a bit. The terrain of Jiange and Jiameng Pass is narrow, so it is indeed not suitable for troops to enter."
The terrain before Yangpingguan is relatively flat, and the troops and horses from the Beijing camp can be mobilized to spread it out.
However, Jiange is different from Jiameng Pass. The danger of the Shu Road should be here. The strength of the Beijing army is somewhat limited, and the red cannons are rumbling incessantly when facing the Guancheng built on the rocks.
Chen Xiao said: "In the northwest, the two armies are still confronting each other, but for a while, the winner has not yet been decided."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The northwest is on the defensive first, waiting for the opportunity. By the way, where are the Hongyi cannons transported to?"
Chen Xiao said softly: "We should be able to arrive at Xining Mansion in half a month."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "If it weren't for the fact that I can't be separated from Beijing, I really want to go to the front line in person and lead troops to the Western Regions to regain the old lands of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Chen Xiao asked: "Master is in Dongliju. Go and meet him tomorrow."
Jia Heng said: "Then I'll go over and have a look tomorrow."
Chen Xiaodao: "By the way, these two days are the Zhongyuan Festival, the day of worship for Emperor Xianzong. The Ministry of Rites intends to worship at the Ancestral Temple and summon all civil and military officials to discuss side affairs together."
A thoughtful look appeared on Jia Heng's face and he said: "To worship Emperor Xianzong is indeed a grand event."
During his reign, Emperor Chongping annihilated Liaodong, promoted the New Deal, and recreated China's prosperous times. His prestige among the people was very high, and he was even known as a wise emperor and a heroic ruler among the civil servants.
This worship of Emperor Xianzong... seems a bit unusual.
Chen Xiao seemed to have understood what Jia Heng was thinking, and said, "This move seems to unite the hearts of righteous people and control the powerful officials."
Jia Heng nodded, with a coldness in his eyes, and whispered: "I want to use the spirit tablet of the dead to overwhelm the living."
Chen Xiao's clear and beautiful face could not help but show concern, and asked: "Then what are your plans next?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that there may be a conspiracy here. I'll go and see what's going on when the time comes."
After hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his beautiful eyes under his slender willow eyebrows, and asked: "Conspiracy? What do you mean?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "After Gao Zhongping was purged, all the civil servants in the court were respectful but dissatisfied. But now it is impossible to say that this is an opportunity for them to plot something secretly."
Chen Xiao said: "That's right."
While the two were talking, Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let the Jinyi Mansion keep an eye on Li Zan, Xu Lu and others."
Now the only people in the capital who can cause trouble for him are Li Zan, Xu Lu and other upright ministers.
Chen Xiao responded softly and agreed.

Land of Bashu, Chengdu Prefecture
Gao Cheng was dressed in black armor and sat in the hall. His face was as cold as frost, and under his dark green eyebrows, there was an inexplicable meaning in his sharp tiger eyes.
"Commander, Baoning Mansion urgently reports." At this moment, a young official came quickly, came to Gao Cheng, raised his hands and said.
Gao Cheng heard this and asked: "Where is the military report? Where is the military report now?"
Not long after, I saw a young junior high school student whose armor and uniform were stained with blood. He walked quickly into the hall and said loudly: "You are all handsome. Something bad has happened. Yangping Pass has been lost."
Anger surged up on Gao Cheng's face, and he shouted: "What? Yangping Pass is an important pass, how can it be easily broken? What does Bao Qichun do for food?!"
The young colonel said: "The Han army had previously mobilized the Hongyi artillery. Guancheng could not withstand the artillery attack and was suddenly defeated by the Han army."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Cheng's face froze for a moment, and his sharp sword-like eyes scanned the generals present, and they all had a look of astonishment on their resolute and rough faces.
"Commander, the imperial court's Hongyi artillery is a powerful weapon for the military. In the past three to five years, it has been successful in attacking cities and forts." Among them, a young general looked solemn and took over the conversation.
Under Gao Cheng's thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes flashed aggressively, and he said loudly: "Let the Baoning Prefecture take good measures to resist and prevent the imperial troops from entering Shu again. The Chengdu Prefecture can send reinforcements in the next few days."
The young man clasped his fists in response and then, without saying anything else, turned around and left the government office.
Gao Cheng's face was extremely solemn, and he looked around the generals present with sharp eyes, saying: "Everyone, this battle is related to the life and death of Bashu. All generals should work together to overcome the current difficulties and survive the future."
When the generals below heard this, they all clasped their fists and said yes.
Gao Bo came up with an idea from below and said loudly: "Brother, why not abandon Baoning Mansion, retreat the troops and horses to Jiange and Jiameng Pass, and use the terrain to block the imperial troops and horses."
Gao Cheng pondered for a moment, and under his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said: "If Baoning Mansion is captured, and the imperial army wins the first battle, and its morale is like a rainbow, then the people of Bashu will definitely be shaken."
Gao Bo couldn't help but show hesitation on his face, and said: "But sooner or later, the imperial soldiers and horses will attack Baoning Mansion."
"Even if we break through, it will be wasted, which will slow down the imperial troops and weaken their vigor. When my army arrives, we will take advantage of the situation to cover up the attack and attack in one fell swoop." Gao Cheng looked a little solemn and said in a deep voice.
Gao Bo raised his eyes and looked at Gao Cheng who was standing aside, and said: "Brother, we in Bashu cannot allow Baoning Prefecture to be destroyed. Chen Yuan and others who have given way to Shunqing Prefecture can also send a troop to help."
Then, the entire Sichuan Governor's Mansion immediately moved into action. Armor, weapons, generals and soldiers were mobilized one by one and began to march towards Baoning Mansion.
The next day, early in the morning, 50,000 elite Shu troops gathered outside Chengdu Prefecture and rushed to Baoning Prefecture for reinforcements.
Gao Cheng was clad in armor inlaid with copper nails, riding on a maroon horse, and led his troops in person, with a high-spirited look on his face.
Although the Shu army has been at ease for a long time, its troops and horses are now vast. Looking from a distance, there is still a fierce and murderous momentum, sweeping silently.
Obviously, Gao Cheng used Jiange as a bridgehead to prevent the troops from the capital from entering Shu, and as a line of defense for the decisive battle.
On the other side, Chen Yuan of Shunqing Mansion, Chen Ran, King of Wei, and Chen Wei, King of Liang, sent troops and horses to Baoning Mansion for reinforcements.
Finally, on the third day, Chen Yuan and other troops from the White Lotus Sect arrived in Langzhong in great force.
In Langzhong City, there were 3,500 Bashu soldiers and horses, and the general guarding the city was a general named Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu, accompanied by a group of generals, welcomed Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei and others into the city, and everyone sat down.
Chen Yuan looked a little more solemn and asked: "Where did the imperial soldiers and horses hit?"
At this moment, the general looked solemn and said: "The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp have descended from more than ten camps and have arrived at the gate of Baoningfu City. The war must have started in the past few days."
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Let's take a rest in the city."
Chen Ran said: "Where are the troops from Chengdu Prefecture now?"
The general raised his hands and said: "The day before yesterday, Chengdu Prefecture sent troops and horses, saying that the army will arrive at Jiange first, and the second son of Gao will personally lead the vanguard troops to Yangping Pass."
Chen Ran nodded and felt relieved.
This shows that these soldiers are not used as cannon fodder to resist the imperial court.
Chen Yuan said: "Baoning Fucheng is unsafe to defend. It's a pity that Yangpingguan City was captured by the enemy. Otherwise, if our army strictly guards Yangpingguan, how can we let the Beijing army capture it in one fell swoop?"
Mentioning this point, Chen Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, the Sichuan army is really a waste, clinging to Xiongguan and relying on the geographical advantage, they can't even defend it.

Northwest, Hamiwei
Jin Xuan was wearing a mountain-shaped red copper armor. He was standing under the city gate, looking at the straight and spacious official road in the distance. It could be seen that Junggar Mongolian soldiers and horses were in tents, and the soldiers were holding weapons and weapons.
There was constant traffic in the military tent.
In the desert filled with yellow sand, broken swords and guns could be seen, flags were burning, and black smoke and bonfires were rising in all directions.
Pang Shili put down a monocular telescope in his hand, turned to look at Jin Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "General Jin, the troops and horses of the Junggar tribe have been less aggressive these days."
Jin Xuan stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of the city wall, feeling the hot feeling, and said with emotion: "The weather is getting hot, and Junggar soldiers and horses have been stationed under the city for many days."
Under his thick eyebrows, Pang Shili looked at the Junggar camp in the distance and said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, the Junggar tribe's harassment of grain roads has intensified."
Jin Xuan pondered for a moment, looked warmly, and asked in surprise: "Didn't General Pang send elite cavalry over before?"
Pang Shili said: "In the past few days, the enemy invaders have used harassment methods to harass the grain roads. The grain roads are peaceful, but it is equally difficult to clear out the harassing enemy invaders."
Jin Xuan said: "It's hot summer now, and soldiers and horses from the Junggar tribe have come all the way. They have a lot of food, fodder, and water. When they run out of food and water, our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, and we can compete for full victory."
Pang Shili nodded, his eyes flashing aggressively under his thick eyebrows, indicating he recognized what Jin Xuan said.
Then, accompanied by the sound of war drums as dense as raindrops, the Junggar soldiers and horses below attacked in large numbers and climbed towards the city wall.
"Whizzing……"
Black arrows rained down densely, hitting the city wall with a clanging sound, and from time to time there was a sound of "popping" into the flesh.
The Han army was also unwilling to lag behind. They drew their bows and drew arrows, held blunderbuss and mounted cannons, and fired non-stop at the soldiers below.
And just like this, with a puff of blood mist appearing, it can be seen that the soldiers of the Junggar tribe fell to the ground almost like wheat at this moment.
The fighting continued until dusk fell, and then the troops of the Junggar tribe quickly retreated like the tide.
