The embroidery under the west wall is still there, the pattern has been drawn early, originally planned to make a purse, the material of royal blue Shu brocade, carefully embroidered with bead thread a vermilion eagle with wings soaring, Xu is put on hold for a whole day, the fingertips sweep, is the tentacle cold.

Rong Yue's face was originally as pale as the night, and when she saw this, she was inevitably aroused by sadness, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

A few times the flowers sat down and gave a, and the red wall of the silver man looked into the distance. It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset.

Lingering thoughts and pulling out the cocoon, like a sad heart peeling banana. In March and May of three or five years, the poor glass of wine never went away.

"Master, the wind is strong at the entrance of this corridor, and the wind is cold."

Hearing the gentle female voice ringing in his ears, Chang Ning turned his head to look, only to see the concubine Shu Shujue Luo opened the moon-white Ning silk cloak that was placed in the crook of his elbow and gently draped it over his shoulders.

Chang Ning turned around and took the cloak tie from her hand and tied it, Shu Shujue Luo saw the bandages wrapped around his two hands, and couldn't help but shout: "The prince's hand!" ”

Chang Ning glanced at it, put his hand behind his back, and said, "It's nothing." ”

Shu Shujue Luo didn't dare to ask again, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, standing quietly on one side, a silver-red gold-painted embroidered laurel gown is more lined with meek and courteous people, she was a first-class maid who served Changning for many years, and then returned to the room, and now she has given birth to a pair of children for Changning, which is quite favored by Changning.

Chang Ning raised his hand to tie the subchin tape, and asked casually, "Why are you here, children?" ”

"I just coaxed me to take a nap, and I think I'm asleep this time," Shu Shujue Luo looked at him, and his voice was soft and considerate: "The servant heard from the kitchen that the master had a bad appetite for the past two days, so he specially asked the small kitchen to spoil the duck letter, and boiled white fungus pigeon eggs and sent it." ”

Chang Ning's gaze retracted from the bush of plantains at the foot of the porch, and landed on the crimson pickles on the small tray of lacquer, and his heart suddenly throbbed.

Shu Shujue Luo saw it, and he was a little worried: "The prince has something on his mind?" ”

Chang Ning was silent for a long time, grabbed the beauty and went back to Changxuan, and said slowly: "Some outside things are very difficult to do......

Since the prince returned home, the female dependents have never been favored, and the lord is always preoccupied, maybe it is really as the Jin family said, the lord has someone outside, thinking of this Shu Shujue Luo's heart is as worried as being entangled in chaos, even if those young and beautiful people come in later, the lord never asks to cross him, with her qualifications, what is there to fear? Therefore, he was a little more down-to-earth in his heart, and said with a smile: "With such ability as the master, and being a royal family and nobleman, how can there be something that cannot be done?" "Before, the elder brother in the family committed something and almost ate a lawsuit, and the family reported the name of the master, and the other end was released, and the official master also came to the door to apologize in person, so in her eyes, Chang Ning is omnipotent.

Chang Ning sighed in his heart, if the Qing Dynasty is gone, he, the prince, will be attached to him: "Naturally, there is, even if the imperial brother is the honor of the Ninth Five, he may not be the same." ”

Shu Shujue Luo was a little incomprehensible, and couldn't help but secretly regret that she had said the wrong thing, now that she is in full grace, she feels that she doesn't understand Chang Ning more and more, and she opened the topic when she thought of this: "Ming'er is the old feudal lord of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion to do his birthday, can he go to eat and drink?" ”

Chang Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "I won't go, you can go." ”

Shu Shujue Luo was a little panicked: "How does this make our status low." ”

Chang Ning raised his hand on her shoulder and said: "It's okay, I have no side Fujin left and right, you can dress up more luxuriously, follow some Duan Mama, she came out of the palace, there are many scenes, if you don't understand, just listen to her." ”

Shu Shujue Luo is quite difficult, and he has to be so.

Chang Ning raised his hand to straighten the phoenix beads on her bun, and said: "I haven't been at home for many years, and I haven't been a housewife in this house for a while. ”

Shu Shujue Luo smiled, and before he could speak, he saw Zhang Dasheng striding over.

The rules of the palace are not very strict, and this is the outer study, Zhang Dasheng has important matters, so he did not call people to pass through, and saw that there was a beautiful concubine standing next to the prince, and he secretly envied the good fortune of the prince, and he was busy playing a thousand salutes.

Chang Ning called him up and asked, "What's the matter in a panic?" ”

Zhang Dasheng said: "The internal officials of the Qianqing Palace came to the palace to spread the message of the Long Live Lord, announcing that you have entered the palace, and now you are waiting in the main hall." ”

The emperor summoned him, who dared to delay, and at this critical juncture, Chang Ning hurriedly asked people to change their clothes.

Shu Shujue was used to serving him by the Luo clan, so he personally changed the royal clothes for him, and stayed at the door of the study to see people out of the hanging flower door.

The maid Pei Pei saw that the people were far away, so she stepped forward and said, "My aunt can now eat and drink on behalf of the prince, so that the people in the courtyard know, and she jumped to her feet in anger." ”

Shu Shujue Luo scolded her and said, "If it weren't for the prince's orders, I wouldn't have bothered to go, but I still have to know my identity." ”

Pepe knew that she was gentle, and she had never liked to fight, so she stuck out her tongue and helped her back to the backyard to rest without mentioning it.

But said that Chang Ning received the order, did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly drove the horse to the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the ministers in the palace were lined up in two columns, one line was headed by the university scholar Jue Ralde, and the first line stood at the front of the three royal brothers and Prince Shuoyu Fuquan.

So he went forward to greet him.

The emperor ordered him to enter the class flat, and then said: "Yue Le, Prince An, the general of Dingyuan Pingkou, said that there are not many red-clothed cannons in the army, and a few gates from Ji'an, Jingzhou, or Xi'an will be transported to Changsha in order to attack the city." I have just ordered the ministers of the council to seek counsel, and I have heard that you have returned from the battlefield and have a lot of understanding, so I also called you over to listen. ”

Chang Ning said 'yes' and returned to class as ordered.

The Minister of the Interior, Suo Etu, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the reason why the traitor Wu Sangui was able to defend Yuezhou and Lizhou was all because the sailors continuously transported the grain and rice from Changsha and Hengzhou to the front line through Xiangshui. Therefore, it is really important to attack Changsha and exterminate the rebels in Hunan. However, Ji'an, Jingzhou, and Xi'an are also fortresses, and they are each other's lips and teeth, and there are many inconveniences along the way, so it is not suitable to be transferred. Twenty new cast red-coated cannons should be made and quickly sent to the front line. ”

At the moment, this is the best disposition, and the ministers in the palace have also seconded it.

Mingzhu said: "What Master Suo said is true, but the road from the capital to Changsha is far and difficult, and there are still fallen places along the way, the power of the red-clothed cannon is not trivial, if it falls into the hands of the thief army, it will cost the people and money, which is counterproductive." ”

The emperor was also very worried about this matter, and asked, "What does Prince Gong think?" ”

Chang Ning hurriedly said: "Now that Nanchang is restored, the way is the border of the Qing Dynasty, so it is better to order the officials of the Second Ordnance Industry Department to send it to Nanchang." From Nanchang to Yuanzhou, and then to Changsha, along the way, the commanders of various departments were ordered to allocate troops to escort them.

The emperor said: "That's right, the release of horse artillery is very important. It is necessary to select a member of the minister to go to Nanchang together, and then order the general Mu Zhan to personally command the officers and soldiers to go to Yuanzhou to greet him, so as not to be in trouble. ”

All the ministers thought so, Chang Ning also knew that this matter was very important, the red-coated cannon was a sharp weapon for siege, the roads in the vast land of the lake were cramped and difficult to travel, and the cavalry of the Manchurians was difficult to play a role, so they had to rely on the green battalion as the main force, so the importance of this cannon in opening the way and deterring it was self-evident.

He looked up at the imperial brother sitting on the throne of the jade step, the deep, eternally calm and relaxed eyes, a trace of worry and expectation that could not be concealed, and then thought of the comrades who were hungry and sleeping on the front line, and made up his mind, and before he spoke, he only listened to the second brother Fuquan go out of class to ask for his life: "The minister is willing to escort the red-clothed cannon to Nanchang." ”

There is no doubt that the second brother is loyal, and he is also meticulous and cautious in doing things, but he is not familiar with the path, thinking of this, Chang Ning also went out of class and knelt down on one knee and said: "My brother is also willing to go." ”

The university scholar Jue Luole Dehong recommended: "Prince Gong has personally served in the south, and he is the most suitable candidate. ”

The emperor's face showed a look of relief, and Chang Ning was appointed as the envoy this time.

The monarch and the ministers discussed a few more military affairs, and the emperor ordered the ministers to retreat and rest, and then said to the two of them: "Let's sit in the house." ”

Chang Ning hurriedly responded to the order and followed the emperor into the Dongnuan Pavilion. Li Dequan hurriedly instructed people to move the embroidery pier and retreat, and he stayed outside the door to listen to the announcement.

The emperor ordered Fuquan and Chang Ning to sit down, and then said: "The fifth brother only knew how to defend the flood land last time, each to protect his body, in vain to serve the soldiers, and to lose the national salary, and Beile Shangshan and Chani were afraid of the enemy, causing the water and land armies to move forward and stagnate, and hesitate. I don't know how these people are used to being pampered, they have no actual combat experience, and they don't feel that they are talking on paper, but when they fight with real swords and guns, they will immediately see clearly. ”
