Chapter 582 Princess Jinyang: After all, she has wronged Zhier
??
Daming Palace, side hall
As Emperor Chongping personally confirmed the news of the recapture of Kaifeng City, the bright, clean and spacious palace was filled with an atmosphere of joy. The palace maids and eunuchs standing with their hands hanging outside the palace were also infected by the joy on the faces of several nobles.
,,with a happy face.
Dai Quan's face was fair and beardless, and his muscles that were tense due to tension slowly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really on tenterhooks these days, but fortunately, Jia Ziyu did not disappoint His Majesty.
Because of the incident in Kaifeng Fucheng, if the Shenjing City is shrouded in dense clouds, then the palace and garden are almost in a state of rolling thunder and ready to land at any time.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes were condensed with dew, and her beautiful face was as bright as a peach because of her joy, and her thoughts could not help but fly to the Central Plains.
I don’t know how he is doing now. Yes, he still has Xian Ning by his side.
Thinking of this, the joy in my heart faded a little, but instead I felt a sense of depression. Before the expedition, because of the fierce military situation, it was okay not to say goodbye to her, and there was no letter from the family in the middle. At this time, I couldn't talk to Xianning.
Thinking of this, the beauty's beautiful eyebrows filled with a gloomy aura, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of irritation in her heart. If Xian Ning was upright and appeared in front of everyone openly, then she would never be able to see the light of day in this life.
There was a look of relief on Li Nuoyue's pretty face. The handkerchief she held in her hand was slightly loosened, and her eyes were shining brightly.
She knew that although Mr. Xiao Jia had no personal ethics, his ability to march and fight was unparalleled in the world.
Concubine Duanrong's frowning eyebrows unfurled, and there was a rare faint smile on her beautiful face. She turned her eyes to look at Li Yiyue, because she was in a happy mood, and her voice was clear and beautiful, just like broken jade touching each other:
"Xiao Chanyue was really right."
The beauty smiled softly, her smile a bit cold and indifferent, like a bright and white Wangshu, suddenly dizzy by the clouds, and the beauty of her brows and corners of her eyes flowed silently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Maiyue.
Being looked at by several eyes, Li Chanyue was a little embarrassed for a moment, her eyebrows slightly lowered, and she whispered: "Auntie, I was also making random guesses, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
Looking at the gentle and quiet little princess with gloomy eyebrows, the narrow and clear eyes under the elegant concubine's eyebrows, she saw a faint joy and said softly: "Being able to guess is also a skill. It can be seen that Yue Nei shows his hidden heart and shows off his ability to see others.
It’s something quite unique.”
Hearing this, Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyebrows condensed, and the joy in her eyes gradually faded.
Li Nuoyue was embarrassed by the praise, her cheeks turned red with shyness, and she said softly: "Auntie, how can I be... so good?"
Queen Song's snow-skinned face was filled with joy. She turned her head in a emerald bun with clouds, her eyebrows were curved, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that it didn't take long. Just a few days ago, Kaifeng fell, and now she has returned to the imperial court.
In my hand, this is also..."
Think about it carefully, how long has it been?
This Jia Ziyu is really a young talent, but... hmm? Why does she think of that day again?
Thinking of this, my heart palpitated, and I quickly suppressed all the distracting thoughts.
Emperor Chongping nodded, and his formerly cold and stern face became much calmer because of the joyful expression. He said in an encouraging tone: "I will say this, if you don't move, it will be done, if you move, it will be thunder. The imperial court is now using the power of thunder to extinguish the fire of civil unrest. No matter what,
Let it rot and spread, otherwise it will not be enough to intimidate Xiaoxiao and restore the central authority's prestige, just in time to show the world that our country is as safe as Mount Tai."
…
Now, after he organized the army and strengthened the army, the situation of strengthening the army in the capital camp has been achieved. This is proof. Otherwise, why would the quelling of the rebellion be so quick and smooth?
It only takes a few days, despite all calculations.
In fact, this is the reason why Jia Heng "did not attack fiercely with his cavalry, but rushed down to the city without waiting for the infantry to follow."
If it is delayed for three to five months, not only will the bandits achieve preliminary integration, which will greatly increase the number of casualties in the siege, but at that time, the people of all provinces will look sideways at the war in the Central Plains, which will make people's hearts wander and the sea boil.
That would create the impression that the royal family of the Chen and Han Dynasties was out of control, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and the country was in danger, which would then cause a series of unpredictable chain reactions. This is what Gao Yue and others are pursuing.
One scene.
Suppressing civil strife is different from national war. National war lasts for a long time and cannot be impatient. On the other hand, internal rebellion is best suppressed with thunderous means without rushing in troops to prevent it from causing greater chaos.
Even, if possible, attack and prevent it from spreading to the entire world. By the time the reaction comes, the rebellion will be over.
This is the keen political awareness of the upper echelons of the ruling group.
Even Emperor Chongping was no exception to this kind of perception and impression. Previously, the government of a province was destroyed by civil unrest. The thieves and bandits gathered tens of thousands of people with great momentum and attacked the city and territory. The Han Dynasty looked like it was the end of the dynasty and wars were everywhere.
Don't you feel so ashamed and ashamed that you vomit blood and faint?
But as soon as the Beijing army came out and suppressed the chaos with thunderous means, it gave the impression from top to bottom that the central authority's authority was unshakable and that the imperial court was still the same imperial court, which effectively frightened Xiao Xiao.
The eldest princess of Jinyang suppressed her "worry" about her daughter and said thoughtfully: "Brother, I just heard that the bandits were captured alive and are they going to be escorted to the capital?"
When it came to this matter, Emperor Chongping was also a little complicated, saying: "Ziyu has escorted Gao Yue to the prison car and sent him to the capital for a formal punishment. The heads of the other two thieves Kou Xiao will also be sent to the capital. It seems that it was Ziyu himself.
Gao Yue was captured with all his strength. Gao Yue was so brave that the other generals could not restrain him. Zi Yu went out on his own and asked for details on how to fight. I'm afraid I have to wait for the detailed military report to be sent."
As he said that, he picked up the paper again and started reading attentively.
Just now, because I was looking for the final result, I didn't take a closer look at the war process. Now I took the paper and read it word by word, and found more details.
The eldest princess of Jinyang suddenly changed her appearance. She panicked and thought to herself, why did he start fighting with others? Empress Song also looked over attentively, with a trace of concern in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, Ziyu is the commander-in-chief of the first army.
, it stands to reason that he should not move lightly. Could it be that the war situation was so urgent that he needed to take action personally."
Concubine Duanrong's cold face also had some thoughts quietly floating on her face, and her heart lifted up in her throat again.
The situation was urgent, Jia Ziyu took action personally, and Xianning was by her side, so she didn't know if she was in any danger.
It probably won't stop. The two armies are fighting in front of the formation, and Ziyu will not put Xianning in danger.
Now, after talking about it, she no longer wants to take care of Xianning's marriage. However, Xianning is a little girl after all, and it doesn't look like she has to go with him to the two armies.
Dai Quan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My Lady, as far as I know, Jia Ziyu is proficient in martial arts. He went to fight in person on several occasions in Cuihua Mountain and in the capital. I think it was not a reckless move."
…
At the beginning, he led the guards of the Jinyi Mansion into the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrest the followers of King Zhongshun. Outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there was a general who drew his sword and resisted arrest. He jumped on the horse for Jia Heng and killed him on the spot. Dai Quan almost saw it with his own eyes. Emperor Chongping pointed out
He nodded and said: "After becoming a general, Ziyu was very brave. I remember that when the Sanhe Gang was raging in Dongcheng, Ziyu fought bloody battles with the bandits on the long street. It was recorded by the internal guards that the young man was heroic.
It seems like yesterday, this is the martial virtue of my great Han Dynasty. Not only is he wise and wise, but he also takes the lead in critical situations."
With this kind of strategy and bravery, he will be able to achieve great results in the war against the captives in the future.
In fact, this quelling the rebellion not only tested the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Beijing camp, but also gave Emperor Chongping a sense of confidence.
The Empress of Song Dynasty looked pleased and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty said, I have also remembered this matter."
It's just that at that time, the young man had no fame and was only appointed to the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. Now he is the assistant minister of military aircraft and the commander of the Beijing camp.
Concern appeared on Concubine Duanrong's beautiful face, and she said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, did Zhi'er mentioned in this article? Zhi'er has not been heard from for several days."
As he said that, he stared at the paper in Emperor Chongping's hand with a pair of cold, crystal clear eyes. Well, half a day later, Emperor Chongping didn't even think about giving the paper in his hand to a few people to read. "It said, the military report will follow.
Please elaborate further." Emperor Chongping looked gentle and said briskly: "Xianning is following Ziyu now, and the military reports for the past two days are all handwritten by Xianning."
A few days ago, after flying pigeons passed the message, the military report was sent to Shenjing by express delivery 600 miles away. After Emperor Chongping read it, he also showed it to Concubine Duanzheng Rong.
And Jia Heng asked Princess Xianning to
Helping write military reports undoubtedly gave Emperor Chongping a feeling of comfort deep in his heart that he was not even aware of.
Not to mention other things, Jia Heng led 80,000 infantry and cavalry, and was given the power to "kill first and then report, and do things cheaply". However, the imperial court did not send any civilian officials or internal supervisors. Of course, except for Jia Heng's family members who were all in Shenjing, there were also military aircraft.
The minister is concerned, but it is difficult to say whether he will lead the army to conquer the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future.
And Jia Heng's decision to let Princess Xianning join the army happened to provide Emperor Chongping with an anchor of trust. It is still inconspicuous now. When he leads hundreds of thousands of troops and fights against the enemy, he will no longer have to worry about "Wang Jian". Concubine Duanrong sighed.
After taking a breath, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of worry again, and she said softly: "Xianning has never traveled far. Yesterday, the Queen Mother also said that a letter from Luoyang City came from home, saying that Xianning and Jia Ziyu were in Korea.
I was a guest at my wife's house and told her to stay in Luoyang in Xianning, but she insisted on going to the front line with the army."
In the past few days, letters from the Korean Dowager Queen have also arrived at Empress Dowager Feng, telling them that Princess Xianning and Jia Heng arrived in Luoyang and stayed at Feng's house for one night.
Well, by the way, I also want to mention that my family helped the imperial court to prepare military supplies and supplies for the army to suppress the rebellion.
Of course, Jia Heng later mentioned the Feng family when he and Meng Jinwen, the governor of Henan Province, wrote memorials to Chen, Wei, and Zheng when they committed illegal activities.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "It's okay to go to Xianning to practice. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that King Wei just got married..."
At the end of the sentence, I realized something was wrong, so I gently changed my mind and said no more.
But when Empress Song heard what Emperor Chongping said, her heart skipped a beat. It would be too much to let Ran'er go with Jia Heng to quell the chaos so that she could have contact with the military...
…
However, on second thought, I thought it was impossible. His Majesty has always maintained a tight grip on military power.
Empress Song suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, smiled, and said softly: "Now that the chaos has been settled, Your Majesty can completely relax, but you can eat this medicinal meal first." After saying that, she took it.
The medicinal food on the side was handed over.
Emperor Chongping took the porcelain bowl containing the medicinal food and said softly: "Once the city of Kaifeng is recovered like this, the only bandits left are Runing Mansion. These still need Ziyu to send troops to clear them out, and to appease the people after the war. This is okay.
, A lot of rice grains were confiscated in Luoyang earlier, Ziyu should be able to handle them properly, and these bandits cannot be allowed to invade other provinces."
Because when Jia Heng sent a letter to Feige, the imperial court, in the early morning, the news from Xie Zaiyi had not yet arrived, so the emperor did not know that Runing Mansion had returned to the imperial court.
Narrating the changing situation in this way is also to reassure myself.
Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty, Runing Mansion seems to be the lair of bandits. I wonder how many soldiers and horses are left there? There are not many more soldiers and horses than Kaifeng Mansion."
Emperor Chongping said: "Based on previous reports, there are not as many as Kaifeng mansions, but we have done our best to eradicate evil and beware of their resurgence."
Li Yue's starry eyes glittered and she said: "Didn't Mr. Xiao Jia say earlier that he had sent a group of troops to Runing Mansion to block the bandits from escaping? I think that not long after arriving at Runing Mansion, good news should come soon.
Bar."
Emperor Chongping picked up the spoon and finished a spoonful of medicinal food. He looked at the little princess, his eyes became gentler, and he said softly: "That's what Xiaoyue said."
Li Yue smiled and said softly: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, just finish the medicinal food first."
The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her eyes to look at Li Nuoyue, who was smiling slightly. Because the joy of the good news had gradually faded away, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her heart could not help but be filled with a layer of gloom.
Handmaid Yue remembered his previous words very clearly, but she didn't think about it for a while.
Empress Song also looked at Li Yue, imitating the title of Emperor Chongping, and said with a chuckle: "What Xiao Chanyue said is that your majesty should take medicinal food first, and will go to Hanyuan Palace later."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said no more. He finished the medicinal meal one spoonful at a time, took the handkerchief and tea cup from Dai Quan and several eunuchs, and rinsed his mouth with the spittoon.
After saying that, he looked at Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong and said, "I have gone to Hanyuan Hall."
When the Central Plains Incident was initially decided, he also had to tell the good news to the ministers and workers of the previous dynasty, and the subsequent pensions for the injured soldiers and the rewards for the meritorious generals had to be made in advance.
Once Runing Mansion is recovered, Ziyu will continue to appease him.
At that time, the imperial edict can be issued for promotion. As for what title to give, I have some ideas in my mind.
Seeing Emperor Chongping stand up and leave surrounded by Dai Quan and other internal eunuchs, Empress Song said softly: "I respectfully see off your majesty."
As Emperor Chongping left, in the side hall, Empress Song ordered the female officials to clean up the dishes, while facing Concubine Duanrong, she chuckled and said: "Sister, don't worry now, the clouds in the sky have dispersed.
, Xianning, she will be back soon."
Concubine Duanrong said softly: "I'm still a little worried about the two of them. It's not appropriate to eat and sleep outside."
In fact, there are some things that are hard to say. When young men and women are together, there is no importance. If they go out for a trip and come back... there will be dark knots in the bead, which will tarnish the face of the royal family.
…
Empress Song naturally heard some subtext and said softly: "When Ziyu comes back, Your Majesty will not hesitate to marry him and Xianning according to the method of concurrent marriage."
For such a great victory, the marriage grant was actually a bit insufficient. If His Majesty's plan was to follow, it would probably be after the war against the Dong captives that Yuyou's mouth could be silenced.
Concubine Duanrong sighed softly, with a look of worry on her beautiful face, and said, "Xianning is not young anymore, and her life should be settled."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang frowned and said in a serious voice: "Sister-in-law, what did you say just now... what do you mean you have both sexes?"
She heard that these two words were a bit unusual.
Empress Song finally realized that she had made a mistake, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was okay to mention Xianning's marriage in front of Princess Jinyang, so she ordered the female officials to screen away all the maids and eunuchs around her.
It is not appropriate for palace maids and eunuchs to know about matters related to the princess's marriage before they are decided, so as to avoid spreading rumors.
Seeing that Empress Song was so solemn, the eldest princess of Jinyang pursed her lips, and various speculations surged in her mind. Empress Song said softly: "It's Xianning. Didn't she follow her to Henan this time? She had followed her son in the capital camp before.
Yu's training seems to be intentional, and His Majesty also wants to fulfill her, but isn't Jia Ziyu married to his wife?"
There were no outsiders at this moment, and Empress Song was no longer secretive.
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and said softly: "It seems that he is a relative of Qin Ye's family, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. I even met him during the last wedding of King Wei."
She would like to see how the emperor's brother resolves the matter of his existing wife. Divorcing his wife would be impossible given his temperament. If he grants a marriage, he must take into account the face of the royal family. No matter how big or small, it cannot be justified.
Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty's intention is to grant a marriage, but there is always the issue of the status of a head wife in granting a marriage. It is not easy to break up a good young couple, but it is not easy to be a mistress in Xianning. This is not an honor."
There is no title in the government now, and the incense offerings from the Rongguo family are gone. To use the courtesy of a commoner would be to treat the founding meritorious service poorly. However, the Rongguo family is really ineffective, and His Majesty does not want to show favor to him.
Grace attack."
Having said this, Empress Song paused, paying attention to the expression of Princess Jinyang, her beautiful eyes were dazzling, and her heart moved slightly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked thoughtful, but she was thinking about something else. This beauty was originally very knowledgeable and open-minded.
Empress Song said softly: "According to your majesty's wishes, I would like to ask Ziyu to offer incense from Rongfu as well, so that one person can worship the incense from both Rongning and Rongning. In this way, both Rongning and Ningfu will not be considered unfair to the founding of the country.
Moreover, the titles do not interfere with each other. Ziyu is a first-class male in the Ningguo Mansion. If he has merit, he will be promoted to a title. Here in Xianning, if he has merit, he will be granted a title of Rongguo lineage. Your Majesty is here that day.
You told me so."
This was a strategy that Emperor Chongping came up with. In this way, it would perfectly solve the problem of Jia Heng's excessive achievements in pacifying the Eastern captives and his inability to be granted a title.
Since it is necessary to inherit the incense of the two families, and the title of Ningguo lineage is the heirs of Jiaheng and Qin, then the heirs of Jiaheng and Xianning can inherit the lineage of Rongguo, and in this way they can all be promoted to nobility.
As for being knighted for military merit, there is no need to worry about what the Rongguo Mansion will think about, because the title of the Rongguo Mansion has been removed and there is no title at all. Now let Jia Heng serve as the Rongguo Mansion and help worship the Rongguo lineage. You, the Rongguo Mansion, still occupy the title.
Big bargain.
…
Concubine Duanrong sighed and said softly: "If you are a female college student, there were many rumors that Xianning followed Ziyu to the capital camp to train troops.
Feng Yu, now follows Zi Yu to the front line, and now there are some gossips even in Shenjing."
In the past few days, Princess Xianning followed Jia Heng to lead the army to Kaifeng Mansion. There has been some publicity in Shenjing, but it was nominally because of the matter of Song Guojiu and Princess Xianning's visit to the Queen Mother on behalf of Empress Song and his concubine in the palace.
The family members in Luoyang did not cause an uproar.
At this moment, listening to the conversation between Empress Song and Concubine Duanrong, Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed under her beautiful eyebrows, and her heart was slightly startled.
Concurrently? Both spouses are head wives?
So Xianning became the legal wife by taking both the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law?
Yes, the emperor's brother recruited him as his son-in-law just in time to win over him, but no, in fact, his sister-in-law can also be won over, right? Well, let's not talk about this, so where will she be placed in the future?
If she can do both...
Previously, this beauty felt regretful that Jia Heng's family already had a wife and could not marry her. This was the main reason why she always felt that Princess Xianning did not pose a threat.
Marriage? There is no great merit, and the marriage is not very good-looking. Princess Xianning is so old that the marriage was decided without any hesitation.
I was thinking this way, but finally I found that this problem had been successfully solved by Emperor Chongping. The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, and suddenly she felt that it was impossible for her to do both.
She has been a widow for many years, and there is such a big age difference between her and Zi Yu. How should outsiders view her? Even if she is unwilling to admit it, she can only...
No, it turned out that there was still a chance, but because Xianning had cut off the last chance, she would have to do it secretly in the future, otherwise it would really harm the Tian family's face.
Also, after all, this is all Mai Yue’s trick.
Originally, nothing happened, but Chanyue insisted on dragging her cousin into trouble. Thinking of this, the eldest princess of Jinyang turned her butterfly head and glanced at Li Maiyue.
The little princess, who was originally surprised, was now facing her mother's somewhat cold and sharp gaze, and her heart couldn't help but shudder. She lowered her eyes with curved eyebrows, felt weak in her heart, and clutched her handkerchief.
, the mood is complicated and difficult to describe.
She...she didn't mean it.
With the method of marrying both husband and wife, there will be no obstacles for cousin Xianning to marry Mr. Xiao Jia. My mother can no longer ignore the rumors and gossips outside and remain unclear with Mr. Xiao Jia.
But why couldn't she be happy at all?
In fact, at the very beginning, the eldest princess of Jinyang intended to marry Li Nuoyue to Jia Heng, but it was a coincidence and fate played a trick on her.
The scene where the eldest princess of Jinyang and Li Maiyue looked at each other happened to fall in the eyes of Empress Song. Her bright eyes flashed, but she did not become suspicious, but she felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
Empress Song's eyes were lost for a moment, and she thought to herself, it seems that this method of combining yang and yang really made Jinyang's heart flutter... No, it should be an afterthought.
It's just that this child, Handmaid Yue, is well-behaved, smart, and quiet. She has already booked a daughter-in-law, so she can't compete with her Xianning family.
As for a princess and a princess from the Tian family, it is absolutely impossible for them to marry Jia Ziyu.
Princess Jinyang's appearance returned to normal. She looked at Empress Song and Concubine Duanzheng Rong, but she sighed quietly in her heart.
However, a smile appeared on Empress Song's face again and she said: "In this way, we are all official wives, which means that the two heads of society are the most powerful. When Your Majesty told me about this, I thought it was strange, but it is also reasonable.
"
Concubine Duanrong sighed and said, "Sister and Your Majesty are also worried about Xianning. Alas."
For such a matter, etiquette was involved, but fortunately, it was finally resolved perfectly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked gloomy and said in a delicate voice: "Rong and Ning, Ning is the eldest and Rong is the youngest. After all, Zhi'er has been wronged."
Queen Song: "???"
No, are you deliberately looking for trouble?
However, after saying this, it seems that it is true... So the Qin family is still the older one, and her Xianning family is the younger one?
Well, no, Jin Yang was deliberately trying to cause trouble for her, and she did it on purpose! Concubine Duanrong frowned, her beautiful face changed slightly, and her clear eyes were a little distracted.
How should I put it? I just felt that the originally flawless plan suddenly had a flaw in Princess Jinyang’s few words.
Although they are both real wives, they still feel that their precious daughter is still a little one. This...
However, as an elder, Jinyang can naturally say a few words to "fight the injustice" from the standpoint of "worrying about wronging Xianning."
As for whether it is intentional to cause obstruction, that is a matter of opinion.
