Chapter 357: Arrival in Beijing

The wedding banquet between Qi Jiu and Miss Long of the Winning Mansion was completed very smoothly, and everyone who had been worried or was waiting to see a good show, but in the end they didn't get their wish, because Princess Changping didn't go to the banquet that night, and the other "protagonist" Tang Menglan went, but even in the end, she didn't do anything, or should it be said that she didn't do anything that echoed those who wanted to watch a good show.

For the whole night, Tang Menglan almost just stayed with Liang Ming.

Regardless of whether Qi Jiu appeared or not, Tang Menglan didn't have any out-of-the-ordinary performance, which made some people who were looking forward to a good show happen all night were really disappointed, but who cares?

Anyway, Liang Cheng and Tang Menglan will not, especially Liang Cheng, the date of Old Man Liang's arrival in Beijing is already very close, and a few days after the wedding banquet between Qi Jiu and Miss Long Jia, the news that the three armies have arrived thirty miles outside Jian'an has been transmitted back to the Zhendong General's Mansion.

"Is the master back?"

"Not yet, Rong Mu came back to spread the word, saying that there was another accident on the Lantai side, and the bandits in the north were seriously troubled, and it seemed that they had raided three more counties, causing more than 300 soldiers to be killed and more than 600 civilians to die tragically. Liu's mother took the Jinpa that Shen had wiped her hands on, and reported in a low voice.

"We have been entangled with Houshu for too long, and most of our troops have been invested outside the Shanhai Pass, resulting in an empty army in the north, which can only be harmful to the bandits in the north. ”

Shen Shi paused with the Begonia Miyun Tea Cup, and then lowered his head and sipped lightly, "But it's not a big deal, now that the three armies have returned to the dynasty, presumably soon, the problem of the emptiness of the northern army will be solved." ”

"That's what Madame said. Mother Liu smiled: "Then did the old man send someone to urge?"

"No need, since there is something wrong with Lantai, then presumably my father will not blame him. Shen pondered for a moment before he said again: "He doesn't have to worry about it, but Mo Ke and Yong'er's side, why haven't they come over yet?"

"Mother!"

Mother Liu just wanted to answer Shen's question, but there was a familiar noise of chattering outside the house, and Mother Liu couldn't help laughing: "This doesn't mean that Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”

The bead curtain of red jade beads was lifted, and two figures, one large and one small, walked in hand in hand, and ran to Shen's side with a smile.

"Mother, is my grandfather coming back today?" Liang Yong ran to Shen's side, hugged her arm and asked with big eyes.

"Yes, your grandfather is coming back today, Yong'er, are you happy?"

Shen Shi looked at his son, looking at his expression that seemed to be laughing and crying, and couldn't help but ask a little funny.

"I'm happy to be happy, but I'm afraid Yong'er's homework in the future will increase again. Liang Yong looked at his mother, and said with some pity, the aggrieved little look made Shen and Liang Cheng laugh out loud.

"You, how many times have you escaped schoolwork by coquettishness during the period of grandfather's absence? ”

Liang Cheng scratched Liang Yong's little nose and teased with a smile.

"Mother, my sister bullies. But Liang Yongke is not stupid, as soon as Liang Yong's words were finished, he immediately turned his head to complain to the Shen family, which made Liang Cheng cry and laugh.

"Well, you both must not be poor, and your grandfather is expected to arrive at the city gate soon, so get ready, and then go out with me to meet you. ”

Shen was also amused by Liang Yong, but time was running out at this time, so she also knocked on the door of her head alone, and then turned her head to ask Liu's mother about the preparations for tonight's reception banquet. As for Liang Cheng and Liang Yong, they didn't dare to mess around anymore at this time, the two of them walked lightly towards the big kang on the side, without affecting the Shen family, Liang Cheng hugged Liang Yong on the kang, and also pushed the pastries in front of him to his side.

Although their grandfather is not far from Jian'an now.

But as soon as my grandfather returned to Beijing, he must have gone to the palace to return to Emperor Cheng, and then he could return to the Zhendong General's Mansion.

The interval between this period was so long that the stomach of a certain little tiger must be unbearable, so Liang Cheng did not detain him at this time, but took the initiative to push the pastries and tea in front of him, signaling that he could eat a little to pad his stomach.

"Really?" And after Liang Yong saw Liang Cheng's actions and gestures, his little face lit up, and his big bright eyes immediately blinked at Liang Cheng for verification.

"Really, hurry up and eat. ”

Liang Cheng knocked on the door of Liang Yong's brain funny, and then pushed the pastry over a little more, this affirmative action and words made Liang Yong smile and bend his eyes.

Immediately, he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately began to face a few plates of small pastries in front of him, and began to wreak down.

"Moke. And just when Liang Cheng was watching Liang Yong eat happily, Shen, who had been arranging a reception banquet with Liu's mother, suddenly raised his voice to her.

"Mother, Mo Ke is here. Liang Cheng was slightly stunned, but the next moment she hurriedly got off the kang and walked to Shen's side to answer.

"Do you know about Princess Changping?"

What .........is the matter of Princess Changping? Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Tang Menglan said to her, "Is my mother talking about Princess Changping about leaving Beijing and going to her fiefdom of Sancheng Wujin? If this is the case, then Mo Ke already knows, and when the prince of the winning king and the young lady of the Long family were married, Miss Tang had already informed me of this matter. ”

For the Shen family, Liang Cheng did not hide it, and repeated what Tang Menglan said to her in the Ying Wang's Mansion to the Shen family word for word.

"It's good that you know. Shen nodded slightly, looked up from the already prepared menu, looked at Liang Cheng and said: "Before Princess Changping left Beijing, it stands to reason that she could hold a farewell banquet, and the post sent from the Qixiao Palace yesterday has been handed to me, are you going to go?"

"Princess Changping's departure banquet invited me?"

Liang Cheng looked surprised, "Mother, my friendship with Princess Changping in the past was not very good, but she suddenly invited me to her farewell banquet, is this a little sudden?"

Liang Ming's tone was a little hesitant, but Shen said indifferently: "It's just a departure banquet regulated by the palace, you can go if you want, don't go if you don't want to go, don't think too much about other things." ”

Although she had long known that there were not many people who could enter her mother's own eyes, but at this time, when she heard the sentence "It's just a departure banquet regulated by the palace", Liang Cheng couldn't help but smack her tongue, what her mother didn't like, but many people rushed to go, just said that just this post from Xiaodian didn't know how many people in Jian'an dreamed of.

Although the current Princess Changping is no longer the former Princess Changping, the role of this banquet is quite great.

Not to mention anything else, except for the eldest prince Qi Heng, the fact that several princes will go to the banquet now is already something that most people flock to.

But where others can't go if they want to, her mother can't look down on her at all?

After Liang Cheng couldn't help smacking her tongue, she thought about it in her heart, so should she go to the banquet for Princess Changping's invitation this time?

It is said that she and Princess Changping have a better relationship than a stranger at this time, and it is nothing if she leaves the banquet by herself.

But Chu Gu is coming back.

What if her refusal gave Changping the opportunity to smear her in front of him? Regarding Changping's conduct and life, she did not dare to say that she knew absolutely about it, so naturally she could not draw any conclusions.

It's just that this risk, Liang Cheng can't take it, and she has finally come to this point, so that Chu Gu can remember her the title of "life-saving benefactor" no matter what.

How could she be willing to put all her efforts into flowing water like this?

Liang Cheng was entangled and entangled, thinking and thinking in her heart, but in the end, she still looked up at Shen and said: "Since Princess Changping has already sent the post over, it is not good for the daughter not to go, besides, Miss Zhong should also go, I haven't seen her for a long time, and it is good to take the opportunity of Princess Changping to hold a farewell banquet in the Waixiao Hall this time, and it is also good to get together with Miss Zhong." ”

"It's good that you've decided. Whether Liang Cheng goes or not, Shen feels that there is no problem, so he also said indifferently at this time: "Wait until the evening, I will ask people to send the post of Xiaodian to Xiao Yunxi, since you have decided to go, then you have to prepare from today, and if there is anything missing, just tell Mother Liu directly and let her bring it to you." ”

Although not every banquet in the palace has extremely strict requirements for clothing, it must not be sloppy, but when Shen said this, he didn't really think that Liang Cheng would have no suitable clothes and jewelry, this was just an attitude.

My mother was saying, and she was standing behind her.

Liang Cheng was originally raising the corners of her mouth, but she paused slightly, and then raised it even higher, "Don't worry, mother, if there is really something missing, I will definitely not be polite to Mother Liu, and I heard that Jiangzhou just brought back a few snow satins, and I have long been in love." ”

"As far as your taste is good, you can't even look down on the slightest, so you only pick the best. ”

Shen had a smile in his eyes, turned his head and instructed Liu's mother: "Wait for a while, when you are free in the evening, you will personally lead someone to send the remaining three snow satins to Xiaoyunxi." ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

Looking at the scene where Shen and Liang Cheng are getting along well now, Liu's mother also smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line.

Who would have thought that the mother and daughter, who once got along like incompatible and incompatible, would become people who can know each other's minds with just a simple sentence, and they no longer have to worry about misunderstanding or misunderstanding.

Mother Liu looked at the eyes, Shen, Liang Ming, and Liang Yong seemed to get along so warmly even if they didn't speak, and they smiled happily.

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.

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.
