Chapter 368: Prosperity

"Miss, you didn't eat much at noon, why don't you eat some pastries now?" Qingyu said lightly in front of Liang Cheng as she gently pushed the barley and red date cake that had just been delivered from the bank of Nanlan Creek. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"No, I'm not hungry. But Liang Cheng was not at all surprised, and after being stunned for a while, she shook her head and refused.

"Miss, do you have something on your mind?"

"What's on your mind? ā€

Liang Cheng denied it without hesitation, and immediately diverted the topic and said to Qingjiao: "Although my mother said that I don't need to make special arrangements for the salute here, and my mother will prepare it for me, but my grandfather's departure from Beijing is not a trivial matter, and there are too many things for my mother to prepare. Qingmao, wait a while, you will go and ask Zhai's mother about the things she must prepare when she goes out, and then set up a list for me, and wait for my mother to have time. I'll show it to her, and if it's all right, we'll prepare it ourselves. ā€

This time, Liang Cheng left Jian'an with Old Man Liang, Qingqian and Nian Xiang must be with them, not to mention Liang Cheng's wishes, as far as none of them are willing to stay alone, Liang Cheng is also very embarrassed, so in the end, they can only be taken away together.

In addition to Qingzhu and Nian Xiang, Qiu's mother is the one handpicked by the Shen family, and she must leave Beijing with Liang Ming.

Originally, Zhai's mother was also among the people handpicked by the Shen family, but because Zhai's mother was already a little old, her legs and feet were really inconvenient to travel long distances, and Zhai's mother's health had also been a little sick recently.

In the end, the Shen family could only cross Zhai's mother from Liang Cheng's entourage when she left Jian'an, and also allowed her to wait until Liang Cheng left Beijing, and let Zhai's mother's nephew pick her up and go back to recuperate for a while, after all, if it weren't for the fact that some time ago, Jian'an and Zhendong's General's Mansion were too shaky and turbulent, then Zhai's mother might have already returned to her hometown in the countryside to be raised.

How can he still be in the Liang Mansion like now, always trying his best for Liang Cheng?

Anyway, no matter what, whether it is Shen or Liang Ming, they are a little guilty about Zhai's mother.

Especially Liang Ming, if it weren't for her, it would be impossible for the Shen family to deliberately transfer Zhai's mother from Nanlan Creek to Xiaoyunyao, thus disrupting Zhai's mother's nephews' plans to take her back to retire in one fell swoop.

For this reason, Liang Cheng is a little reluctant every time she thinks about it, and Zhai's mother actually comforts her in turn, saying that where in the countryside can compare to the prosperity in the imperial capital, this is all stained with the light of the third lady.

But how many years has Zhai's mother been in the capital? What other prosperous places in Jian'an have not been seen by Zhai's mother?

Zhai's mother said this, just to calm Liang Ming's heart, but what she didn't know was that the more she comforted Liang Cheng like this, the more sorry Liang Cheng would have if she couldn't go.

Therefore, this also made Shen's mother very smoothly out of the list of entourage this time.

Although accompanying Mr. Liang to Yingchuan to recuperate from his injuries is not a chore, since Zhai's mother's juniors are filial and have the heart to take her back to care for the elderly, Liang Cheng is naturally happy to see it.

As for this, there will be one less old-fashioned, cautious and prudent person around him, although this will be a headache for Liang Cheng, but compared to these, Liang Cheng naturally hopes that Zhai's mother can live in peace, which is the most important thing.

I just don't know if I can see Zhai's mother when I leave Beijing this time and come back next time.

Presumably she couldn't return to Jian'an before Zhai's mother's children and nephews came to pick her up and go back to the countryside to recuperate.

Thinking of this, Liang Cheng was a little depressed, and this also made De Ben a little complicated emotion, and at this time she was even more troubled, and the mood that seemed to be a mess was tangled in Liang Cheng's heart.

At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

……

……

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.

Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.

Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.

In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.

It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.

And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.

Emperor Wen died, Emperor Huai ascended the throne, and compared with Emperor Wen's name of Mingjun, Emperor Huai's cruelty and mediocrity are even more ugly.

All those who had offended him were dismissed from office and sentenced to prison within a month, and none of them were spared.

Among them, although the worst cannot be regarded as the Liang family, after Liang Sixuan was convicted of capital crime and imprisoned, and the Shen family was also convicted of insulting Emperor Huai and Shen Yunchong's secret troublemakers, Liang Sixuan used the last strength of the Liang family to save their lives, and she knew everything.

And speaking of this, we can't help but talk about the King of England, Liang Cheng's appearance at this time is not very good, that is the King of England! He is one of the only three kings with different surnames in Xiyin today, although the power is not comparable to that of King Li, but the King of England is also the overlord of the defense line of the Xiyin Sea with 50,000 sea divisions in his hands, and he has blocked countless invasions of the sea invaders throughout the year for Xiyin, and he is the greatest contributor to the preservation of peace in the western territory.

Such a hero, no matter who it is, will not ignore it and cannot ignore it, Liang Cheng is naturally the same, but she looked at Zhong Qing in front of her, but she began to worry about her a little, after all, the daughter of the king, that is, the girl who is now being surrounded in the center of the field, almost became Qi Xuan's wife.

The British prince has a lot of heirs, but what he loves the most is his youngest daughter Tang Menglan, and Tang Menglan, as the daughter of the British king, is already the proud daughter of the sky, not to mention that she has been loved by the British king, and her personality has been raised a little rough since she was a child.

But anything that Tang Menglan likes and wants, whether it is a person or a thing, there is almost nothing that cannot be obtained.

And it is such a proud daughter of heaven who wants to be windy and rainy, and her personality is still a little rude, but in front of Emperor Wen and even Concubine Meng, she is quite loved, and her Chinese emperor will put it aside, after all, there are too many things to consider in the emperor's heart, in terms of the importance of the British king to the Xiyin Sea Realm, that Emperor Wen's love for Tang Menglan is only because of the British king.

But Concubine Meng is different.

In addition to Chu Gu and Liang Cheng, the juniors who can get into the eyes of Concubine Meng, now Liang Cheng only knows a Princess Changping and a Qi Jue, and the rest is only Tang Menglan, the youngest daughter of the British King.

After all, if Tang Menglan is really as the outside world says, she is just a proud girl with a noble status and a brutal personality, then how can she be favored by Concubine Meng and her old man? How can she make Concubine De and her old man have the idea of marrying Qi Ling and Tang Menglan?

Although in the end, Tang Menglan made Jian'an almost full of trouble because of the words of the second princess Yang, and her relationship with Qi Ling failed to take shape in the end, but it only made Concubine Meng have such an idea, which can show that Tang Menglan is not what outsiders say at all.

It's just that Liang Cheng is very jealous of her, but the person who is even more jealous of her is Zhong Qing.

"Back then, the second princess said, 'This woman is a little rude', so that Tang Menglan, who had already nodded and agreed to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Qi Xuan, made Jian'an a storm overnight, not only ran to His Majesty to cry, but also 'coincidentally' met Princess Li, who has always been good friends with Princess Ying, in Xiaoyu Temple, and was so aggrieved that she cried bitterly on the spot, and then went into the palace with her mother, Princess Ying, to ask for peace to Concubine Feng, and she also cried in the palace of Concubine Feng......... It's just a short day, and the entire Jian'an is rumored that the second princess doesn't like Tang Menglan, and even bullies her as a mother-in-law, and finally makes Feng Guifei find a reason to have a seizure, and even Concubine Hui has been snubbed by Emperor Wen for a long time, and the second princess has not even taken another step out of the palace gate for a long time. ā€

Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing, who was silent, and continued: "After that, if it weren't for the sudden swarming of the Haikou from the west, which caused the war in the sea to break out, Princess Ying and Tang Menglan would not have hurried back to the King of England, and the matter back then might not have been so simple to settle down." ā€

This matter was something that even Liang Cheng, who was at the gate of the Liang family at that time, had heard of it, let alone Zhong Qing.

Compared with Liang Ming, she was even fortunate to witness Tang Menglan's unscrupulousness even in front of the second princess Yang, in front of the second princess who made her feel so stressed in Zhong Qing's opinion, Tang Menglan could actually be so unscrupulous.

The scene at that time, even now, Zhong Qing still remembers it clearly.

Maybe Tang Menglan is the only person who can make concessions like the second princess Yang since Liang Cheng and Princess Changping, but no matter whether Liang Cheng or Princess Changping, they will not be like Tang Menglan, and the second princess Yang will tear their faces directly and completely.

Not to mention that there is Emperor Wen behind Princess Changping, it is impossible for her to ignore Emperor Wen's face, even Liang Cheng has the entire Liang family behind her, even if she doesn't like the second princess of the Yang family, it is also impossible for her to act like Tang Menglan.

In today's Jian'an, there will be no one who can be as noble as Tang Menglan, and his father is also a general who guards one side, so he has not been trapped in the intricate power network of Jian'an.

No one can have anything to do with the King of England, and because the King of England is both a prince with a different surname and a general who guards one side, everyone in the court even deliberately keeps a distance from the King of England, so as not to make Emperor Dewen suspect that he has any bad intentions, then it is indefensible.

Even if Emperor Wen attached great importance to the British king, even the unwritten rule that the relatives and children of the generals guarding the border must stay in Jian'an as hidden hostages, Emperor Wen directly abolished it for the sake of the British king

But that's just a manifestation of Emperor Wen's favor to the King of England, Emperor Wen can use it, but if others dare to do this, waiting for their fate without thinking too much, they can know what it is, so everyone dare not approach this very special existence.

Therefore, wherever there is a British king, officials will subconsciously stay away from him, and most people are more afraid of the British king than respectful of him, let alone Tang Menglan?

The ability of the King of England to lead the sea division is well known to the whole country of Xiyin, but as long as the people of Xiyin are not unfamiliar with the King of England, that is, the King of England is extremely protective.
