Because there is!
Kunning Palace
Empress Song was sitting with Concubine Duanrong in the main hall. On the embroidered pier next to the surrounding screen, there were a group of concubines from the harem sitting in gorgeous palace clothes, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, colorful in purple and red.
At this moment, King Chen Ran of Wei is wearing a python robe and is sitting not far away. Today's python robe is mainly red and black satin, adding some solemnity to the festive atmosphere.
The eldest son of the empress was tall and tall. He inherited the fair and handsome appearance of Empress Song. However, he also inherited the deep eyes and high cheekbones of Emperor Chongping, so he looked sinister and mean.
At this moment, he was sitting on the embroidered pier, accepting the instructions from Queen Song. This was also part of the marriage ceremony of the royal family.
During the canonization ceremony of the princess, the feudal king accepted the teachings of his mother-in-law and the queen, and then accepted the emperor's ardent instructions at the canonization ceremony, which can be regarded as showing to outsiders the warm side of family harmony, filial piety and friendship.
In fact, the royal family has always been a model for the world in virtue, etiquette and education.
At this moment, in addition to the imperial concubine, Princess Nanyang, Princess Xianning, the eldest princess of Jinyang, the mother and daughter of Princess Qinghe, Princess Chu, Princess Qi and other royal family members were also sitting, looking at Empress Song and Empress Song with a smile.
King Chen Ran of Wei spoke.
"Of course, after I, the Han Dynasty vassal king, got married, he would have to establish a career and be responsible for the affairs of the government. My mother didn't say much else. I only asked you to ask your father to work hard for the country these years. You should do more for your father."
The emperor shares his worries, is filial to his father, and is friendly to his brothers. After opening the palace, he must be more modest and prudent, read more books, cultivate his moral character, and restrain the servants in the palace, not to act recklessly outside, and treat the people of the Nan'an family as guests..."
The Empress of the Song Dynasty wore light yellow palace clothes embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and a shining golden crown with phoenix wings. Her face, which was originally beautiful and fragrant, was even more graceful and beautiful because of her gorgeous makeup, especially her smooth and jade forehead.
In the middle of her eyebrows, there is a three-petal rose flower, as bright as clouds, with a face as white as snow as the stamens of a hibiscus, and her skin is smooth and moist, completely unlike a woman who has given birth to two sons.
At this time, there was a feeling of joy and sadness between her eyebrows, which undoubtedly gave this beautiful and gorgeous woman a bit more of the gentle maternal nature accumulated over the years.
It's really hard to associate it with the beautiful woman from Longkuang who can only reward herself in "Lonely Wutong, Qingqiu locked in the deep courtyard".
At this moment, the sound is clear and soft, not a parallel sentence, but a common and plain talk, but it is just a little more cordial.
Listening to his mother's gentle words, King Chen Ran of Wei felt a warm feeling in his heart. He looked solemn and said, "My sons and ministers will obey the teachings of my mother."
A smile appeared on Queen Song's fair-skinned face, and she suddenly said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Ran'er has grown so old and has a family."
All the concubines were smiling and responding, and it was a happy scene.
At this time, the eldest princess of Jinyang, who was wearing pink palace clothes and combing the clouds and combing the moon, saw this scene, her beautiful autumn eyes under her eyebrows showed a complex wave of light.
After the founding of the government, there are no more fathers and sons, only monarchs and ministers. I don't know how much bloodshed will be caused by the matter of seizing the direct descendants in the future.
Princess Xianning also cast a pair of clear, quiet eyes on her third brother. In another year and a half, her marriage will probably be on the agenda.
Fortunately, she...and Mr.
Princess Chu Zhen Qing glanced at the boy in the python suit, her eyes flashed, and her heart couldn't help but be filled with a layer of gloom.
Now he has gone out to open a mansion, and he will be the prince's opponent in the future.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming soon, and everyone's orders are waiting at Fengluan Hall." At this time, a nun came quickly from outside the palace, approached and reminded her.
In fact, this was intentionally or unintentionally asking Mrs. Gaoming to wait for a short while, and even to report the progress of the mother-son conversation at any time, so that Mrs. Gaoming of Zhujia could know about it. After Empress Song finished giving instructions to King Wei, she would lead Mrs. Gaoming there.
Afterwards, Queen Song went to the Xihe Palace nearby.
Concubine Duanrong was also dressed in a light yellow palace dress. She had a green bun with clouds and a beautiful appearance. She smiled and said: "Sister, it's not too late to teach you a lesson in the future. Be careful not to delay the auspicious moment. The minister should also have entered at this moment."
palace."
Empress Song nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's already getting late. I guess Nan An's family has waited too long."
King Wei Chen Ran stood up and bowed to Queen Song, and then headed to Xihe Palace, surrounded by several eunuchs and female officials.
Emperor Chongping was currently in his study room, still hunched over his desk reviewing memorials. This emperor had a calm face. For him, such a ceremony was just an ordinary canonization ceremony in his more than ten years as emperor.
The bright sunshine at mid-noon in spring shines through the carved window lattice and shines on Emperor Chongping's dragon robe. The emperor's sunken cheeks have a slightly gloomy expression.
In the past few days, Li Zan's memorial from Peiping described the situation at the border and related personnel arrangements. Emperor Chongping coordinated with the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War on military supplies and supplies, and shipped grain, grain, wages, and silver to the border.
At this moment, Dai Quan glanced at the sky and stepped forward to remind: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming. It's time to change clothes. All civil and military officials are waiting outside Xihe Palace."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping put down Zhu Pi's imperial pen, stood up, and asked, "Let's change clothes."
With that said, accompanied by Dai Quan, he went to the inner chamber. Under the service of a group of internal eunuchs, he changed into his dragon robe and asked casually: "Have there been any military reports from Henan recently from the General Affairs Department and the Ministry of War?"
Dai Quan personally put on the sachet and said: "Your Majesty, the military report from Henan has not been sent yet, but I have asked people to keep an eye on the General Affairs Department and the Ministry of War. As soon as there is a military report, they will be sent to the palace immediately.
,In addition, slave..."
At the end of the sentence, Dai Quan hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Emperor Chongping frowned and said, "Why are you hesitating?"
"My servant discovered that the Wang family of Xining County, as well as Liu Fang's family, the former military governor, also sent people to the Ministry of War to keep an eye on the military reports, as well as some other people." Dai Quan considered his words and said in a low voice.
Emperor Chongping frowned, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Jia Ziyu has been dispatching cavalry and soldiers to the Beijing camp for training in the past two days?"
Some things can be hidden from the censor, but not from the emperor.
Perhaps it can be said that Jia Heng never thought of hiding it from the emperor. If the emperor did not know about the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the capital, even if it was meritorious afterwards, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Therefore, on the day after Jia Heng was in the capital camp to discuss with a group of generals, he asked Jin Yi to report it. Emperor Chongping didn't know what he meant at first, but later he saw that Princess Xianning often went to the capital camp with Jia Heng, which was not the case.
Gradually it became clear that Jia Heng was still uneasy about the situation in Henan and was still stubborn.
Therefore, just now Emperor Chongping was still asking about the situation in Henan.
Dai Quan, who was nicknamed "Jia Ziyu" from "Ziyu", had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Jia Ziyu has picked up His Highness Xianning to go to the Beijing camp for training in the morning, and at noon.
We summoned the Jinyi Mansion and it has been like this for several days."
Emperor Chongping looked noncommittal and said casually: "Concubine Xianning has complained about this matter a lot recently."
Princess Xianning and Jia Heng often went to the capital camp. This scene naturally fell in the eyes of Imperial Concubine Duanrong. The day before yesterday, she even complained to Emperor Chongping about this.
Dai Quan noticed that Emperor Chongping's tone was a little softer and whispered: "Jia Ziyu's intention is to make His Highness Xianning a female general. Recently, he has taught His Highness how to train and lead troops, and has also discussed war cases with His Highness. This matter is in the harem.
, and there are many concubines discussing it."
"My princess of the Han Dynasty, it doesn't matter if she knows a little about military matters. Even if she can't be Princess Pingyang, she should gain more knowledge. Ziyu helped me teach me a Hua Mulan, and I still want to thank him." Emperor Chongping
Although there were still no smile lines on his face, his tone was obviously much lighter, which made Dai Quan feel slightly relieved.
At any time, a princess who is proficient in military affairs will only ward off the vassal royal family and will not cause rebellion. On the contrary, those princesses who are not proficient in military affairs and are interested in politics can easily become peaceful and happy.
Emperor Chongping thought this, and suddenly thought of Jia Heng.
It's a bit stubborn, but actually it's nothing. After all, it's all about pursuing the country.
Forget it, since he is not worried about Henan, he can take the opportunity to train his cavalry and improve their combat effectiveness. The decisive battle with Donglu will be tomorrow, so today's training is not useless.
However, these past few days have made him a little worried.
Without him, Jia Heng looked "serious", which made the emperor feel a little guilty deep in his heart.
At this time, Emperor Chongping, under the service of Dai Quan and other internal eunuchs, changed into his dragon robe, thought for a while and said: "Dai Quan, the internal eunuchs will have military reports from Henan later, and they will be delivered as soon as possible.
come over."
"But Your Majesty, the canonization ceremony will be held later..." Dai Quan was startled for a moment and said hurriedly.
Emperor Chongping said: "The appointment of a concubine by the King of Wei is a major event, and military affairs are still major events. If there are changes in Henan, there must be no delay."
"My slave obeys the order." Dai Quan heard this and said quickly.
"Get your carriage ready and let's get going." Emperor Chongping said calmly, without much thought.
Dai Quan lowered his head and responded: "Yes."
Dai Quan and a group of internal eunuchs responded, and then accompanied Emperor Chongping to Xihe Palace.
At this moment, mid-spring is about to pass, and we are entering the warmer spring season. The wind is beautiful and the sun is beautiful, and the warmth is pleasant.
In the morning, in front of Xihe Palace, the sun shines from the clear blue sky and falls on the glazed tiles, making circles and shining light. On the square paved with white marble, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty have already lined up to wait.
Officials wearing scarlet robes, green robes, and green robes were lined up in the square in front of the main hall according to their grades. Officials of the Five Governments and Six Ministries, Zhan Shi Ke Dao, Hanlin Academy, Hongwen Hall, and in the capital temple were supervised. Different court decisions required officials of the fifth grade to enter.
All officials of rank seven or above came to watch the ceremony.
Therefore, at this moment, there are not only civil and military officials, but hundreds of officials gathered in front of the Xihe Palace, as far as the eye can see. In addition, there is a group of special people, who are the vassals of Chen Han. On one side, they are led by the two kings of Qi and Chu.
Standing on the left and right under the eaves of the Xihe Palace, facing each other, are the immediate branches of the emperor, and the other side are the elder clans slightly farther away, most of which are the descendants of the concubine brothers when the emperor was in power.
The captain of the Jinyi Mansion, currently wearing a flying fish suit and wearing an embroidered spring knife, is lined up under the vermilion pillars decorated with brocade curtains, with a cold expression on his face, holding his knife on guard.
The reed-canopied grandstand for the imperial concubine to watch the ceremony was built the day before yesterday in the southwest of Xihe Palace. It was surrounded by colorful embroidered curtains, with banners and flags facing the inner prison. The palace maids stood solemnly on all sides.
, there were brightly dressed female officials and palace maids walking through the lower rooms where various dishes, fruits and vegetables were placed one after another, eagerly waiting for the arrival of Mrs. Gaoming.
The halberd captains of Jinyi Mansion stood on all sides of the stand, with their backs to the viewing platform, guarding the surroundings.
As for Jia Heng, he is currently among the hundreds of civil and military officials, dressed in a black and red python suit, wearing a mountain-shaped wingless crown on his head, as the governor in brocade clothes, with a rare Emperor's Sword on his waist, holding an ivory jade wat, facing behind him
People on the left and right looked at him with strange eyes, their expressions were calm and they seemed to turn a blind eye.
From time to time, whispers came to my ears, the words "Jia Mianmian" and the whispers of "lucky people".
Although the imperial censor has been in place, the prince's wedding, a happy day celebrated by the whole world, naturally turns a blind eye and closes one eye.
If the officials are whispering, they will not say anything to stop them. This is obviously contrary to the festive atmosphere and is also unlucky.
The three cabinet ministers, Yang Guochang, Han Huang and Zhao Mo, were talking in low voices in the queue of civil servants.
"Today's canon of concubines looks a bit more lively than Qi Chu." Zhao Mo suddenly smiled and said.
Yang Guochang said in a loud voice: "This is the ceremony for conferring concubines for the vassal vassal. It's quite exciting for me to see it."
Han Huang smiled and whispered: "There are still some differences."
"That's because I have forgotten. As I get older, I always forget things recently." Yang Guochang stopped the discussion appropriately.
The cabinet ministers were discussing the wedding, but in fact they were secretly exchanging the opinions of the princes.
At this moment, in the array of Hanlin Academy, Xu Kai, a bachelor of Hanlin, also looked at his companion Lu Li, a bachelor of Hanlin, and thought about the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng turned a deaf ear to the discussions of several people and raised his eyes to look at the sky above Xihe Hall. At this moment, there was a plaque with three bright gold characters "Xihe Hall" engraved on it, decorated with red silk. Looking down, there was a carpet that stretched all the way.
Go to Chaoyang Palace.
"It's so grand and grand, it's a gift from the feudal lord."
Jia Heng thought back to the introduction to the gift slip process that the Ministry of Rites had previously issued.
According to the preset process of the canonization ceremony, Wei Wang Chen Ran should still be in Kunning Palace at this moment, receiving the teachings of Queen Song.
Then, according to the general process, Wei Wang Chen Ran led his people to the Chaoyang Palace under the square in front of Xihe Palace to welcome Princess Nan'an and a group of relatives to see her off.
Then, among the hundreds of civil and military officials waiting, I met Yan Yiliu, the daughter of the Prince of Nan'an, who was wearing a phoenix crown and rosy clouds.
Well, that's the name on the gift list.
Along the carpet in front of him from the front door of the palace to Chaoyang Palace, he came to Xihe Palace to meet Emperor Chongping and Empress Song, which was regarded as seeing Gaotang.
However, because the Prince of Nan'an County went to Beijing to inspect the border, Princess Nan'an, who is the most senior member of the royal family in Nan'an County, as the elder of the girl's side, will receive tea from King Wei and his wife in the stands after the canonization is completed, and at the same time go to Chonghua Palace.
, I met the Supreme Emperor in Changle Palace.
After a complicated ceremony, officials from the Ministry of Rites prepared the canonization edict that had been prepared by the Hanlin Academy for a long time, came to the palace gate, and read it out in front of the six ministers, nine ministers, and hundreds of civil and military officials.
Then, the ceremonial officer recorded the names of Wei Wang Chen Ran and Nan'an County Prince's daughter Yan Yiliu on the gold album and jade plate. The wedding of the vassal king was initially completed. The couple went to Chonghua Palace and Changle Palace to pay their respects.
The two of them, accompanied by etiquette officials, will ride to the Ancestral Temple to pray for the ancestors of the Chen and Han Dynasties.
Finally, Wei Wang Chen Ran and his princess took a car back to the recently completed Wei Wang Mansion. After such a long journey, it happened to be in the evening, and then the couple went to the bridal chamber.
Of course, the emperor would entertain the civil and military ministers here, while the Wei Palace would entertain the male and female guests. The former was relatively solemn and solemn, while the latter was more casual, perhaps with the bridal chamber process.
"The ceremony for the canonization of the principal concubine of King Chen Han was also an opportunity for the royal family to show strict etiquette and hierarchical order. Through a grand and solemn ceremony, the royal majesty was displayed and people aroused awe of the imperial power. In addition, the principal concubine was his legitimate wife.
, originally determined by etiquette and law, it is said that it is good to combine the two surnames to serve the ancestral temple."
Jia Heng thought about these processes and frowned.
Thinking of him and Keqing, back then...
I can only say that some people are born in Rome, some people are born with cows and horses, weddings in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and driving in palaces and gardens, eh?
While Jia Heng was thinking, there were also some officials chatting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate not far behind him.
At this time, Xin Yunjie, the censor of Shandong Province, glanced at the young man in python suit and whispered: "That's Jia Mianmian, he looks quite young. In such a national ceremony, there is still the Emperor's Sword hanging, which is not the courtesy of a minister."
.”
"Mr. Xin went to Penglai, Shandong Province for inspection last year. I just came back and I don't know what happened. The most troubled person in Beijing recently is Jia Ziyu." Yang Wenxuan, the censor of Henan Province, said.
Liu Fuxin, the censor of Jiangxi Province, sneered and said: "The sword on his waist is the Emperor's Sword. It was given to him by decree at the beginning. This ceremony is just about to show it off."
"Guard in imperial robes, why don't you take him down? On such a solemn occasion, even the Emperor's Sword shouldn't be worn openly." At this time, Zhang Fangcheng, the censor of Shanxi Province, said in a low voice.
Weng Rongcai, the censor of Huguang Road, twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you must not know something now. The sword is a gentleman's weapon and a lucky weapon. It is nothing in such an occasion."
"Master Weng just doesn't know something. Regardless of this, Jin Yi can't kill him. He is the Commander in Jin Yi. He did it himself? If you don't let others wear swords, it's the same if they wear embroidered spring knives." Fujian Daoyu
Shi Zonghongliang said in a playful tone.
Liu Fuxin, censor of Jiangxi Province, said: "At the beginning, I used the royal robes as the governor's power to charge my colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department and suppress dissidents. Lord Gong had previously impeached me for this matter. At such a young age, he was in charge of the brocade robes internally, the Imperial Guards externally, and the cardinal. It will be paid back in the future.
have to?"
"He also leads the troops of the five cities." Yang Daogang, the censor of Zhejiang Province, said in a low voice: "What's funny is that this person is still making alarmist remarks, saying that the Henan army was defeated, the civil unrest was difficult to control, and he was young and ignorant."
Yunnan Dao Yushi Gong Yanming listened to the whispers around him and chuckled in his heart. He said to Wang Xueqin, the Shanxi Dao Yushi next to him: "Gathering power to one person is not the way to be a minister."
Wang Xueqin's expression changed and he sighed.
How could he not know that the emperor's impeachment memorial the day before yesterday had been ignored by the emperor? It is obvious that the holy family will not decline.
"Wang Yushi, I will go to Shu to impeach him later. This person has recently made reckless adjustments to the troops in the capital camp."
Wang Xueqin's expression suddenly changed and he asked: "Using troops and horses indiscriminately? What do you mean?"
Gong Yanming, the censor of Yunnan Province, said coldly: "I also heard what others said, saying that Jia Heng still refuses to give up. He insists on talking about the chaos in Henan, and has led Princess Xianning to mobilize troops and generals in Beijing."
Wang Xueqin frowned and said hesitantly: "He is the governor of the Beijing camp. Even if he deploys troops and horses for training, it will not be a big deal."
"It's hard to say." Yunnan Taoist Censor Gong Yanming said in a deep voice.
At this moment, all the censors were shocked, obviously they had just heard this shocking news.
If you still don't give up, how can you dare to mobilize your troops and generals?
After the ceremony is over, you should be a strict ginseng!
At this time, Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Province who temporarily acted as the censor of the ceremony, saw that the censor's noise was getting louder, frowned his delicate brows, and said: "We are waiting in silence for the national ceremony."
Yan Guan, whose voice had gradually become noisy, hurriedly paused.
The movements at the Metropolitan Procuratorate were naturally noticed by Wu Xun, a civil servant in front.
Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, turned to look at Qin Ye, who was over sixty years old. After a period of contact, he felt that he was a capable minister and official. He said slowly: "There are some frivolous opinions in the court, don't take it to heart."
, among the previous few, none of them are adding insult to injury, and none of them are pointing fingers. As long as they have a clear conscience, there is no need for these rumors."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the suggestion." Qin Ye looked solemn and said in a low voice.
On the other side, Jia Zheng of the General Affairs Department faced a crowd of strange looks. His expression turned strange, like a thorn in his back, and he couldn't help but sigh. He had read a lot of impeachment memorials in the past few days. It can be said that the public sentiment was fierce.
Zhang Ruchao.
After a while, a sharp voice came from the door of the main hall, saying: "Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen has arrived, and all the civil and military officials have entered Xihe Palace to pay their respects."
At this moment, three cleansing whips were sounded, the sound of the golden fou hitting the jade chime was heard, and the originally whispering voices fell silent.
Jia Heng is currently among the military commanders. As one of the top five bosses in the Han military, and also the minister of military aircraft, he is almost on the same shift as the cabinet ministers.
Even if the two kings of Nan'an and Beijing did not leave Beijing to check the border, the three of them happened to be on the same train and stood in three places, but now they are Yongchang Prince Consort and Nanyang Prince Consort, as representatives of the nobles.
This made Jia Heng quite speechless, and he didn't know who arranged it. To put it bluntly, he could be regarded as the consort of Jinyang.
The civil and military ministers entered the palace in a mighty manner, but they gave people the impression of being calm and steady.
Xihe Palace, as the celebration palace of the Han Dynasty, is majestic and magnificent, and the interior space is undoubtedly very spacious and empty. At this moment, the beams in the palace are also decorated with brocade curtains, creating a festive atmosphere.
Jia Heng just glanced at it casually, then looked away without squinting, with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was already sitting on a golden chair surrounded by Xiang Daiquan in the Daming Palace. There was also a cloud bed beside him, which was set up for the queen.
At this moment, Empress Song, the mother-in-law of the world, has to accept tea from her daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Queen Song was already sitting on the cloud bed, smiling lightly, elegant and peaceful.
Jia Heng raised his eyes slightly and took a look, only to feel that the beauty in light yellow palace clothes and wearing a golden crown with phoenix wings on her head was graceful and graceful, like green feathers with black eyebrows, and phoenix eyes moistened with smiles, embodying gentleness and softness.
In one body, especially the gleaming gold crown and emerald earrings, they set off the beauty's snow-white skin, the rouged rose lips are plump and moist, the smooth and round chin, and the delicate jade-like neck...
He quickly lowered his gaze calmly and felt a palpitation in his heart.
Empress Song was originally looking at the ministers, but suddenly her heart moved, and she seemed to be aware of something. She glanced past her beautiful eyes full of autumn water, but she saw the eyes of the young man in the python suit lowered.
Because most of the officials were bowing slightly at this moment, their eyes almost not falling on Empress Song.
Even though the young man took advantage of the opportunity to look at Emperor Chongping and glanced at him quickly, his gaze did not stay long at all. However, women have always been sensitive to gazes.
Queen Song's phoenix eyes looked at Liubo, and she felt a little curious under the doubts in her heart.
Why is this Jia Ziyu... peeking at her again?
Or is it such a grand ceremony?
Immediately he understood and his heart skipped a beat, this... how brave he is?!
But when she looked in the mirror today, it seemed that... in the words of the female official next to her, she was extremely graceful and gorgeous.
Well, what on earth was she thinking?
Just when Queen Song was wondering, the deafening voices of the ministers in the palace came, which also made the beauty smooth out the ripples in her heart. Her phoenix eyes, painted with light red eye shadow, trembled and curled their eyelashes slightly.
Purse your rose lips to restore your graceful and graceful look.
"O ministers, please see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
"See the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."
As the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami sounded, the majestic and solemn Xihe Hall inside and outside immediately fell into an empty silence.
Emperor Chongping also had a few smile lines on his face, and a clear and clear voice sounded, saying: "Your Majesty, please be equal."
"I wait, thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up again.
Jia Heng stood up with the other ministers and stood with a bow, his face calm and expressionless.
Emperor Chongping looked at the ministers below and said warmly: "Today is the day when King Wei gets married. It is not only a national ceremony, but also a happy event. We, the monarchs and ministers, can be as casual as we like."
"I wait, thank you, Your Majesty."
The thanksgivings of all the ministers rang out together again, spreading loudly from inside and outside the Xihe Hall, and then slowly dispersed to both sides under the guidance of the ceremony officials. The civil and military officials just separated a wide passage for the King of Wei and his wife to come later.
Meeting Emperor Chongping and Empress Song.
Emperor Chongping glanced at the ministers below, smiled and said: "I have been in the imperial court for fifteen years now, and have five sons and four daughters. I have established the two vassals of Chu..."
The expressions of the ministers below also changed from solemn to slightly softer, but most of them were listening to Emperor Chongping's explanation. This was the preparatory process for waiting for King Wei and the newcomers.
The officials listened and agreed, and later the Hanlin Ci officials would also send congratulations.
Jia Heng didn't really listen to this at the moment, he was just thinking about things in Henan.
Jinyi from Luoyang and Kaifeng reported from the carrier pigeons a few days ago that there was no abnormality reported in the direction of Runing Prefecture.
But he guessed that it was probably the local Jinyi who was doing the job half-heartedly and just coping with the matter, without any careful investigation at all.
So it was right to send Qu Lang to Henan at the beginning, but according to the time, he should have arrived at Runing Mansion in Henan by now. Once the investigation is clear, the homing pigeon can fly very quickly, and it only takes a few hours.
Just when Emperor Chongping and the ministers were changing the conversation to a more homely atmosphere, the Hanlin poets began to write congratulatory messages, mainly congratulatory messages to the emperor and the king of Wei on their marriage.
The article was written with beautiful words and colorful flowers. Some civil servants who liked this article twirled their beards and nodded frequently.
Jia Heng, on the other hand, felt a little drowsy after listening to it. He was absent-minded and had nothing to say. He had never written much and didn't read much in parallel prose, excerpting chapters and looking for sentences.
This is originally a process of gossiping waiting for the auspicious time to come.
Jia Heng thought so.
At this moment, in the southwest direction, under the colorful embroidered canopy, the imperial concubines of Beijing, under the auspices of Concubine Duanrong and the concubines of the harem, gathered in the stands and looked towards the viewing platform.
Compared with the solemn atmosphere of civil and military ministers in front of Xihe Palace, the atmosphere here is more casual and noisy. Mrs. Gaoming, who is familiar with each other in Beijing, gathers together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
At this moment, Qin Keqing, who was wearing a first-grade imperial robe and a luxurious uniform, was also accompanying Jia Mu. On the other side was Mrs. Wang. Not far away was Baoling Hou Shi Nai and the imperial wife of Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding's family.
Qin Keqing and Shi Ding's wife were talking to themselves.
In the distance, Princess Nan'an, Mrs. Sun from the Liu family of Duke Liguo, Mrs. Tang from Liu Fang's wife, Mrs. Xu from the Bull family in Zhenguo, as well as Mrs. Gaoming from the Wang family of Xining County and the Duke Jiuguo's family gathered together and talked.
Doing things at home.
Most of their eyes were on the Jia family.
Not to mention a clear distinction between Jing and Wei, but there is also a sense of alienation in the politeness.
Because, in the past few days, Jia Mu had been carefully dealing with several imperial concubines, but under the instigation of Princess Nan'an intentionally or unintentionally, she still ended up gossiping among the imperial circles in Beijing.
In particular, Jia Heng has been impeached by officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology recently. Even if he is left unpunished by the emperor, the civil and military officials in the court are shouting for beatings and killings, which makes these imperial officials more interested in watching the excitement.
.
"Old sister." At this time, Princess Nan'an, Princess Luo of Nan'an, and a group of imperial concubines came to greet Jia Mu.
On Jia Mu's side, all the imperial concubines stopped talking and looked at Concubine Nan'an and were chatting with Jia Mu.
"Not long ago, Yi Liu was talking about the wedding ceremony and her father was not in the capital. I said that your father was patrolling the border for the country. Hearing the good news of your marriage, I thought he would be very happy for you." With Luo Shi's support, Princess Nan'an said softly.
As she laughed and talked about what she had been doing with her granddaughter these past few days, the concubine, who was over sixty years old and had silver hair on her hair, was full of energy and had a loud voice, or perhaps she deliberately raised her voice.
After a while, King Wei and Princess Wei will also serve tea to Princess Nan'an and Princess Luo of Nan'an County.
"Yes, national affairs are more important than the nephews of the Yan family." Jia Mu smiled, nodded, and agreed.
But she felt a little unnatural in her heart. She didn't know that this was Princess Nan'an taking the opportunity to show off her marriage to the Tian family.
Concubine Nan'an said, then turned to look at Qin Keqing next to Jia Mu, and asked with a smile: "Is this Brother Heng's daughter-in-law? She is really good-looking, and it is rare to have such a quiet and indifferent temperament. She has thought about getting married several times.
I didn't see her even when I visited her, but I finally saw her this time. She is really gentle and quiet, and her room is suitable for home."
Qin Keqing looked at Concubine Nan'an. Hearing the pointed words, his expression paused and he said: "The old concubine is too praised. I should pay her a visit. I've been busy with things lately, which has hindered me."
Liu Fang's mother, Sun Shi, smiled and said: "They say that Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is virtuous and polite. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I see her. With her appearance, she looks like a fairy in a painting. A young lady from an official family.
It's just different, he's well-informed and reasonable, but... there's something I don't know whether to say or not."
Qin Keqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Liu, this is a great joy for the Heavenly Family. If there are any unspeakable secrets, I'm afraid it won't match the warm atmosphere. How about we go over to the house and talk about it later?"
The smile on Mrs. Sun's face froze slightly, but she smiled and said: "It's not much, just a few words. Brother Heng's daughter-in-law usually advises Brother Heng and my relatives not to be frivolous.
yes."
Qin Keqing's beautiful face changed slightly, and her eyes became colder.
Not far away, Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Princess Beijing Zhen Xue were looking towards the Xihe Palace on the railing. At this time, they were attracted by the movements of Princess Nan'an and Jia Mu, and they looked over.
In fact, many ladies of Gaoming noticed this scene and watched the excitement from a distance.
Zhen Xue looked at the scene that seemed like a siege. She couldn't stand it. She frowned and whispered: "Sister, what are they?"
There was a playful smile on Zhen Qing's lips, and she said: "There are some festivals, and besides, my sister also knows that the impeachment memorial in Beijing the day before yesterday made a lot of noise."
"But they and Rong Ning's second house are also old relatives, why are they like this?" Zhen Xue said softly.
Zhen Qing said quietly: "Old relatives are old relatives, but Rongguo Mansion lost its title before, and now it is all supported by Ningguo Mansion. The man in Ningguo Mansion has always been self-respecting, and gradually had discord with several old relatives. Last time
They have ruined Concubine Nan'an's face again, now... they have a chance."
As Zhen Qing spoke, she suddenly took her sister's hand and chuckled: "Sister, come with me and help me say a few words. It's better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake."
Zhen Xuerong was stunned for a moment, and finally felt a little helpless about her sister's "plan", so she went with them to help out.
At the same time, the eldest princess of Jinyang, who was not far away, was also watching the scene of the Jia family talking to Princess Nan'an. In other words, a pair of beautiful eyes would fall on the beautiful woman wearing the imperial uniform from time to time.
Princess Jinyang caught a hint of embarrassment and anger on Mrs. Qin's face, and her beautiful eyes flashed.
The female officer Lianxue whispered: "Your Highness, the Jia family seems to be..."
Yuan Chun, who was serving as a female officer, pursed her pink lips, and a hint of worry flashed through her beautiful eyes under her eyebrows.
Princess Jinyang looked at Yuan Chun, smiled and said: "Yuan Chun, follow me to meet your family."
As he spoke, Yuanchun didn't wait for Yuanchun to turn from worry to joy, and walked towards everyone in the Jia family and asked with a smile: "Old Concubine Nan'an, Concubine Rong Guo, what are you talking about, so lively?"
Princess Nan'an was stunned for a moment, and followed the sound, only to see the eldest princess of Jinyang walking with the female official's money. She could not ignore the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day, but it is not just a lively day."
What's going on, Your Highness?"
I feel strange, is this princess helping the Jia family to save the day?
Also, I heard that this princess had a good relationship with the Jia family. According to rumors in Shenjing, if the Ningguo one hadn't already had a family, she would have even wanted to marry her own daughter, Princess Qinghe.
"This is not the female official next to me, Yuan Chun, who wants to come over and meet her old lady and mother." Princess Jinyang smiled and said softly: "Yuan Chun, you don't need to serve me here.
, go and talk to your grandmother, mother and younger siblings."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Chun said softly and softly. He walked closer and bowed to Jia Mu first.
After saying that, he came to Mrs. Wang, who looked indifferent and then surprised, and smiled gently: "Mom, when did you come here?"
The cold look on Mrs. Wang's face faded, she looked at her daughter, who was wearing a female official's uniform, and smiled and said, "I've been here for a while."
At this time, Liu Fang's mother, Mrs. Sun, also stopped talking and turned to look at the eldest princess of Jinyang, her face changed and her eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
This kind of woman is the best at observing words and expressions. How could she not know that the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty in front of her was standing up for the Jia family, and she was secretly worried.
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, didn't even look at her, or maybe it was intentional. She looked at Yuan Chun and said to Jia's mother with a bit of surprise in her tone: "Old sister of the Jia family, the eldest girl is so dazzled by this."
At such an age, I thought I had left the cabinet, but now I am working in the Jinyang Princess Mansion?"
The smile on Mrs. Wang's face was stagnant, and she glanced at Mr. Xu coldly. Her eyes were so cold that she almost wanted to kill someone, and a feeling of hostility arose in her heart.
Old witch, why don’t you die!!!
This woman with a soft tongue and a soft heart had just been feeling complicated and disappointed about the grand ceremony of King Wei's conferment of concubine. Now when she saw her daughter, she was forcing herself to smile. She didn't want to hear Xu's sarcastic words, just like a
The hair on the back of the cat whose tail had been stepped on exploded.
At this moment, the magnanimity cultivated in worshiping the Buddha in the past was gone, and there was only the most vicious curse and the endless resentment.
I resented the old witches chewing maggots in front of me, I also resented Uncle Heng, and I resented the unfair fate.
Liu Fang's mother, Mrs. Sun, smiled and said, "As the old saying goes, don't worry about waiting for a good meal."
Niu Jizong's mother, Mrs. Xu, was also frightened by Mrs. Wang's dagger-like eyes. She felt so panicked that she turned her eyes away and forced a smile and said: "Sister Sun has seen many things, that's why.
"
The eldest princess of Jinyang took in this scene and felt cold in her heart.
The intrigues between these women are haunting and terrifying.
Then he looked at Qin Keqing, walked closer, and said softly: "Is this the Qin family of Ningguo Mansion?"
Just like this, the two met unexpectedly, without any smoke. Instead, because of the targeting of the Jia family by Princess Nan'an, Sun, and others, it became a bit more "sisters apart from Shura".
The same hatred of the enemy.
Qin Keqing also looked at the beauty. For some reason, maybe she had a tacit understanding. At this moment, she almost knew that this princess was her husband's confidante.
It's probably the shape that was made from the same set of molds, and the look on the brows and eyes is also due to Jia's aura.
"your Highness."
Qin Keqing had just called out, and suddenly felt her bare hand being held, and her beautiful eyes under her curved eyebrows looked at the beauty opposite in surprise.
At this moment, the two beauties held their hands and looked at each other. Because the red flags and flags on the side were flapping, it seemed like they were meeting, and they were a little excited.
Qin Keqing felt that with the delicate hands in her hands, for some reason, some of the worries that were hidden deep in her heart seemed to fade away.
"Yuan Chun and Zi Yu have often mentioned you." Princess Jinyang said with a smile.
This sentence is a double entendre.
"Actually, my husband has never mentioned His Highness much." Qin Keqing curled her eyelashes and trembled, pursed her pink lips, and said softly.
"Oh." The eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her beautiful eyes were filled with autumn waves, and she smiled and said, "That's quite normal."
Qin Keqing: "..."
The two people were talking. Except for Yuan Chun, who cast a strange look at them, everyone present could not see the slightest clue. After all, they were a whole generation away. It was more like the greetings of the elders to the younger ones. Over there, Princess Xianning was with her.
The Qinghe Princess who spoke to Concubine Duanrong was actually of the same generation as the Qin family.
However, in such a handshake, the feeling of standing for the Jia family became more and more obvious in the hearts of Princess Nan'an, Liu Fang's mother Sun, and Niu Jizong's mother Xu.
It just so happened that at this time, the clear voice of Princess Chu Zhen Qing came from not far away. She smiled and said, "Auntie, Mrs. Rong Guotai, sister Yuanchun."
With that said, he came hand in hand with his younger sister, Princess Beijing Zhen Xue, greeted Jia Mu and others, and then said hello to Yuanchun.
At this time, the expressions of Liu Fang's mother and Niu Jizong's mother changed slightly, and their hearts became a little solemn.
Is this also to help the Jia family gain a foothold?
Princess Jinyang glanced at Zhen Qing and said, "How did Princess Chu meet Yuan Chun?"
"I played with sister Yuanchun when I was little." Zhen Qing smiled and said with a chuckle.
Zhen Xue also said softly: "At that time, I came to Beijing with my sister and often went to Rongguo Mansion to play."
"Why haven't I seen your family, brother and sister?" Mother Jia looked at the Zhen sisters and said to herself, after all, the Zhen and Jia families were old relatives in Jinling, and now they seemed to be estranged from each other.
Just now, Mrs. Nan'an and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Xu were jostling each other with every word. Even Jia Mu, who has always been "magnificent", felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
"I'll let you take care of me. Let's go to the palace to pay tribute to his imperial grandfather." Zhen Qing said with a smile, and then glanced at Princess Nan'an.
Zhen Xue smiled and said: "Xinxin said last time that she wanted to stay in the old lady's house for a few days and that she was thinking about Aunt Yun."
"Xiangyun?" Jia Mu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yun girl told me last time that she was also curious about that girl, how could she be so well-born, so well-behaved, and so well-behaved and sensible."
As Jia's mother chatted with the Zhen sisters, the atmosphere became lively again. Sun and Xu, who had previously looked like Nan'an Princess Versailles and hummed with laughter, sang and harmonized, making the awkward atmosphere of the Jia family disappear.
Concubine Nan'an's face paused, and the joy in her heart faded a little.
Although the Jia family gradually tolerated her and the Jin family, the Liu family, the Niu family and other four princes and eight princes, they still had the battlefield of the eldest princess of Jinyang, as well as the King of Chu and several members of the Beijing royal family. The latter's King of Beijing was not easy to offend.
.
As for the two old ladies, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Xu, they said nothing more and just kept talking with a smile on their faces.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of a salute, "Bah, bang..."
"here we go."
Mother Jia and Princess Nan'an, who had been gathered together to talk, also went to the railing to watch.
In Xihe Palace, accompanied by the sound of a salute outside, the Hanlin ministers who originally had to put on congratulatory forms no longer went out to congratulate.
Jia Heng also recovered from his absent-minded mood and regained his composure.
"The King of Wei and the nobles of the Nan'an family are here."
The eunuch shouted loudly, and the calls reached the hall and reached the stands in the southwest.
At this time, she had not been officially canonized and could not be called Princess Wei yet.
All the ministers also cheered up and cast their gazes one after another. On the long red carpet outside the palace, a couple of newlyweds in rich auspicious clothes, surrounded by female officials and eunuchs, came slowly. It was exactly
The King of Wei and Yan Yiliu of the Wang family of Nan'an County.
Princess Wei looked quite tall. She was wearing a fiery red wedding dress with a hanging necklace and a phoenix embroidered on it. However, because of the bright red hijab on her head, her true appearance could not be seen clearly.
The Princess of Wei and the King of Wei were both connected by a red hydrangea tied with red silk. There were nannies and female officials supporting and holding their floor-length skirts in front and back, and they walked slowly towards the majestic and magnificent hall.
Amidst the salutes of seventy-five guns and the music played by the musicians of the Ministry of Ceremonies, he received the attention of all the ministers and the audience of Mrs. Gaoming in the stands in the distance.
The way of ritual and music educates the world.
Not long after, Wei Wang Chen Ran and Yan Yiliu, accompanied by female officials and nannies, stepped over the steps, crossed the threshold, and walked into the palace.
Just at this moment, the sound of the salute outside stopped.
The King of Wei and his wife saluted the Empress of Song on the bed after Emperor Chongping, who was sitting on the golden chair.
"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother." Wei Wang Chen Ran, with rosy cheeks, paid homage with great ceremony.
Princess Wei also knelt down with the support of the female officer beside her. A clear and waxy voice came from the red hijab, "My daughter, I have met my father, the emperor and my queen."
Emperor Chongping looked at Wei Wang Chen Ran with gentle eyes, and his voice seemed to be a bit gentler. He stretched out his hand to support him and said: "Pingsheng."
The eunuch outside said loudly: "The king of Wei is in peace."
"Thank you, Father (Your Majesty)." The newlyweds thanked the Holy Grace.
At this time, it was the turn of the cabinet and the central government offices in Beijing to send congratulations. However, before Yang Guochang, who was the head of the court, came out on behalf of the cabinet to present the memorial, suddenly the internal supervisor outside the palace came to Dai Quan from behind the bead curtain.
Mouth.
The eunuch was not the eunuch of the palace, but the supervisor of the internal police factory. He was holding a brocade box in his hand.
Dai Quan frowned, knowing that it was probably an emergency.
Taking advantage of the opening of the cabinet Yang Guochang's congratulatory form, he walked over quietly.
"Father, look at this." Without waiting for Dai Quan to ask in a low voice, the factory supervisor opened the brocade box, suppressing his surprise and said: "This is the good news from Henan delivered by the Ministry of War, and there is also a report from the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
Waiting for Boniu Jizong to submit a memorial to the meritorious generals of Henan Province, my father-in-law, if I send this to you, wouldn’t it make me even happier?"
The good news from Henan and Niu Jizong's memorial arrived at the Ministry of War almost at the same time. The internal prison immediately arrived, and then because Dai Quan had previously conveyed Emperor Chongping's order without delay, they were sent over.
Of course, such a successful report of counterinsurgency can also bring good luck. If it is a failed report, I am afraid that the internal factory supervisor will still hesitate.
In fact, as the military commander sent to Henan by the Fifth Army Governor's Office to suppress the war, Niu Jizong was naturally qualified to take credit for the Henan Dusi General. This was also the reason why Shao Yingchen asked Niu Jizong to testify.
Dai Quan looked happy and said in a low voice: "This is really a good fortune."
What better way to celebrate than to send the happy news from Henan that has made His Majesty worried for many days on the wedding day.
However, Dai Quan immediately hesitated.
After sending this good news, Jia Ziyu...
He took a pinch of the flower seeds, glanced at the young man in python suit who was currently in the military attaché formation, and sighed in his heart. His Majesty had previously told him that he could no longer help hide this "auspicious" news.
"We will send it to His Majesty at home."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards Emperor Chongping.
…
…
Jinyi Mansion
Liu Jixian, a member of Qianhu in Jinyi, is sitting in the government hall in front of the courtyard, drinking tea. As a member of Qianhu in Jinyi who was promoted after Jia Heng took power in Jinyi Mansion, he serves as Jia Heng's daily guard and bodyguard. However, he did not go to the Ming Dynasty with Jia Heng today.
Instead, he sat in the Secret Service waiting for news.
Tong Wu, a member of the Jinyi Hundred Household on the side, whispered: "Liu Qianhu, Qu Zhenfu has been in Henan for many days, why haven't there been any news yet?"
Liu Jixian put down the tea cup and said solemnly: "With Zhen Fu's cautious nature, he is not allowed to investigate carefully, and it is difficult to report him."
"Gu Gu."
At this moment, the sound of homing pigeons suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Sir, the carrier pigeon from Henan has flown over." At this time, a captain in Jinyi carried a carrier pigeon into the government hall. While talking, he took off the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and presented it to him.
At this time, Ling Shi from the Secret Service took over first, and then prepared paper and pen to start translating and writing the secret text.
This is to prevent the homing pigeons from being intercepted and leaking military aircraft.
After a while, Na Ling Shi's expression suddenly changed, he handed over the copied paper and said: "Liu Qianhu, Runing Mansion, Henan, something happened, civil unrest!"
Liu Jixian reached out to take it. After reading it, his expression changed drastically, and then he said: "Something serious has happened, and I need to report it to the governor."
"Well, why is there another one?" At this time, he saw a pigeon flying in the sky, cooing, and the captain in Jinyi said in surprise.
Then another captain came over holding the pigeon.
"Gu Gu."
"Is there a carrier pigeon here?" Seeing four or five captains in golden uniforms carrying carrier pigeons in, Liu Jixian's face gradually became serious, like a cage of ice, and he felt something bad in his heart.
In fact, after Qu Lang arrived in Henan, he divided his troops into two groups, one going to Kaifeng and the other to Runing Mansion.
"Sir, Kaifeng Mansion..." The translator's hands trembled, his face turned pale, and he whispered: "Sir, Kaifeng Mansion fell, the bandits are powerful, and they have nearly 100,000 bandits..."
At the end of the sentence, my voice almost trembled.
A provincial government in the Han Dynasty was destroyed by a civil uprising. This has never happened since the founding of the country!
Compared with its seriousness, only the fall of Liaodong decades ago!
Liu Jixian took it from the clerk and read it. The muscles in the corners of his mouth were twitching. He couldn't help but murmured: "In the fifteenth year of Chongping, on February 28th, at the hour of Chen, the Kaifeng Mansion was destroyed by bandits.
Zhou Dezhen, the governor of Henan Province, died for his country, and the life and death of Sun Long, the chief envoy, was not known. Countless officials from the second division of the feudal dynasty were killed in the rebellion... The bandits suddenly attacked with light cavalry. It is said that Runing Mansion gathered nearly 100,000 bandits with great momentum and was known as
Serve Heaven and advocate righteousness, fight against the Han Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."
This was clearly Qu Lang's investigative information when he went to Kaifeng Mansion. He used almost all the carrier pigeons to finally restore the original appearance of the Henan Incident.
"This... something big has happened." Liu Jixian's face was solemn and he didn't care about anything else. He said in a deep voice: "Collect all these. I want to enter the palace immediately to ask for an audience with the governor and the emperor!"
For such a big matter, if Jinyi is not the first to report it, then the governor will be reprimanded, and the Jinyi Mansion will also suffer!
With that said, he led a group of guards in royal robes and left the Secret Service in a hurry.
At the same time, at the post station fifty miles away from Shenjing City, the six-hundred-mile express from Nanyang Prefecture in Henan Province stirred up dust on the inn station, and then stopped in front of the inn station. With a "woo woo", the horse
The maroon horse neighed, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the side of the road exhausted.
A knight in black, carrying a recruitment bag, dismounted from his horse and was out of breath. The beard under his chin was trembling slightly because of his violent panting.
Quick, change the horse! Change the horse!"
At this moment, as Shao Yingchen expected, Nanyang Mansion, which is close to Runing Mansion, first discovered something was wrong three days ago, because the Nanyang Wei Mansion's baggage supply did not call for Nanyang as usual. After two days of hesitation,
, Cui Shida, the prefect of Nanyang, sent an official to Runing Mansion to investigate. After a thorough investigation, he was suddenly shocked.
Nanyang Guard was destroyed and Runing Mansion fell for a few days, while the rebels in Runing Mansion were rushing towards Kaifeng Mansion.
From the mouths of the refugees who escaped from Ruyang and the surrounding counties in Runing Prefecture, "I would rather die in peace and hunger than be like a praying mantis", I learned that Runing Prefecture has completely fallen into the hands of the bandits, and their leader calls himself the Grand Marshal of Fengtian Advocacy.
.
Even if the Nanyang prefect was slow to react, he still knew that the sky was about to fall, so he rushed six hundred miles to report the news to Shenjing.
In fact, Yingchuan Prefecture, which is not far from Runing Prefecture, is also reporting to Shenjing and Kaifeng Prefecture by express delivery, but the report is still, "Runing is in civil turmoil, bandits are swarming, and refugees are flooding all over the county.
I hope the imperial court will investigate."
Of course, after the fall of Kaifeng this morning, the county government close to Fengfu was also sending a message to Shenjing with an express delivery of 600 miles.
But the news was not that Kaifeng Mansion was besieged, but that Kaifeng fell!
It's just that the military intelligence dispatch is still on the way and has not yet reached Shenjing.
At this time, the Yi Cheng's face changed slightly, and he heard the seriousness of the matter and ordered: "Come here, quickly change to a horse."
Not to mention, the post station reported the news, but it was said that on the second floor of an inn in Anchangfang, Shenjing, the two bandits from Gao Yue's command reported by the Ministry of War were in the wing at the moment, with Fan Yangli on their heads on the table beside them.
, took off his shoes and put a pair of smelly feet into the wooden basin.
The burly man in military uniform with a slight horse face took a foot bath in the hot water comfortably and said with a smile: "This sacred city is worthy of being at the feet of the emperor. It is really rich. The girls on the street are fairer than those in Henan."
.”
Another tall young man said worriedly: "Brother Zhang, we were delayed for some time on the road, especially for brother's business."
"It's only a two-day delay. It doesn't matter. It just happens that the delay is longer." The leader, a man named Zhang, said nonchalantly, and solemnly warned: "Don't talk about the boss outside, call the general."
It turned out that the two of them had received orders from Gao Yue and felt that the 600-mile rush was too tiring. After leaving Henan, at the suggestion of a man named Zhang, they spent a day in Shangluo, and when they arrived at Shenjing City, they did not
As Shao Yingchen originally thought, the general sent the report first.
To a certain extent, it disrupted Shao Yingchen's arrangement. If the good news was delivered first, the court would have to stay in this excited state for at least a few days, and then wait for the failure report to come from other channels, and the princes in the temple would come and go.
Surprised and suspicious, he searched for someone to investigate again. Such a delay would delay it for a few more days for the rebels who occupied Kaifeng Mansion.
"I just heard on the road that King Wei of the imperial court is still getting married. I don't know what Princess Wei looks like. If I can sleep with that princess in this life, it will be worth my life." The big man named Zhang smiled and said.
The tall young man said with a worried look on his face: "Brother Zhang, we'd better go back quickly. All the people here are from the imperial court."
"What are you doing in a hurry to go back at this time? We are in the capital, just in time to see what the imperial court is doing." The big man surnamed Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Besides, we finally made it here, and the Ministry of War even gave us a reward, so I'm not here
In the past few days in this sacred city, I have met the young lady from Guanzhong. Isn’t it a waste of time?”
The brother he brought was timid, but the brothel in Shangluo was no less troublesome than him.
When the tall young man saw this, he had nothing to say.
