Chapter 44: Out of the Palace

Pei Minzhong said: "The things of the world, mortals can only see what is in front of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho knows what will happen in the future? The elders have their own standpoints, and it is useless to talk to them more. Not to mention that this war in Liaodong is not a big victory, it can only be regarded as a draw, and I am always worried that there is still a future waiting in Haixi. It's really ...... to celebrate so much in the palace."

"You've been in Liaodong for three years, so you know better, tell me about it." Liang Zan said.

"In ancient times, there was a saying that 'Haixi is less than 10,000, and if it is full of 10,000, it is invincible'. They are all brave and good at fighting, and they are well-organized, and they attach importance to mounted archery, and all men can go to battle. Wu Jinbo has dealt with them for many years, and should know that it is better to hold on to the city than to take the initiative. This time, however, he went fifty miles out of the city to face the battle, either because he was eager to take credit, or because there was a problem on the Haixi side. Pei Min said.

Xue Yuanhan nodded and said: "Because of the last case, Wu Jinbo suffered a secret loss, and he also got a holy meal, and it is not impossible to seek merit." However, he has been guarding Liaodong for many years, and it is unlikely that he will attack rashly, but I am afraid that there is also a situation on the Haixi side. I always feel that they are too serious in the natural disaster this year, and the only way out is to come to Dazhou to plunder. If they encounter the improper defense of the Great Zhou in the south this time, it is not impossible to attack the city and plunder the land in Haixi. However, they were tied by Wu Jinbo, so according to their original purpose, they negotiated peace and negotiated conditions. ”

Liang Zan said: "The border of eastern Liaodong has been invaded by Haixi for a long time, and the people have suffered greatly. If an alliance can be concluded this time and there will be no more war, it will be a once-in-a-century blessing. Most of the celebrations in the palace are related to the concubine, who wants to create momentum for Wu Jinbo and let his father Jin make his family a marquis. ”

Xue Yuanhan said: "Speaking of which, I have some admiration for Wu Jinbo. The imperial court asked the Huguang Capital Division to transfer troops to Liaodong to rescue, but Wang Jintang did not move. In this case, it is not easy for Wu Jinbo to make a draw. ”

Pei Minzhong said: "Wang Jintang, that old fox, he resolutely refuses to do the business of losing money, and he must pinch the benefits in his own hands before he sends troops." This rescue was obviously to make a wedding dress for Wu Jinbo, and he made a long-distance raid, which was thankless. If he really went, he was afraid that the officials in the court would be even more surprised. ”

As he was talking, a guard reported outside the door: "Qi Yu Shizi, the letter from the grandfather of the country has arrived." ”

Pei Minzhong's face showed a hint of joy, and he ordered: "Send it in quickly!" ”

Xue Yuanhan and Liang Zhan looked at each other, not understanding why Pei Minzhong was so happy to receive his father's letter. The two tacitly buried their heads in eating vegetables and did not disturb Pei Minzhong reading the letter.

After a while, Pei Minzhong carefully folded the letter and put it into his coat.

Xue Yuanhan couldn't help but ask, "Pei Jiu, but what's the happy event?" I've never seen you so happy to receive a letter from Seb. ”

Pei Minzhong hesitated, and Xue Yuanhan hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, don't say it, I just ask in vain." The corners of Pei Minzhong's mouth raised, and he smiled: "Happy event, it's happy." I wasn't completely sure, but my father agreed and was willing to help me. You will know in two days. ”

Liang Zhan glanced at Pei Minzhong suspiciously, and said, "If it's just you, I don't care, if it involves others, you have to think twice." ”

Pei Minzhong nodded: "That's nature!" With that, he raised his glasses and the three of them drank to each other.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yuan and Emperor Yili first went to the Fengxian Hall to worship, and then took the accompanying officials, guards, and servants out of the palace. The cars of the harem people drove behind, in order.

Xuanhui and her two sisters ride in the same carriage. was about to get into the car, but Li Jingyuan ran over. "I'm so bored to sit in a car by myself, so let's have fun with you!" After speaking, she glanced at Xuanhui from the corner of her eye, and said arrogantly: "Some people should be conscious, don't be in the car and get in the way!" ”

Xuanhui ignored her, helped the palace maid to get into the car, and said to the two sisters: "Sisters, let's guess the riddle along the way, or play chess?" ”

Li Jingyuan hurriedly said: "I'm talking about you!" You come down for me! ”

Xuanhui looked at Li Jingyuan innocently: "This car is obviously for the princess, and my sister just wants to squeeze in, why do you want me to go down?" I don't want to accompany you to ride in your car, small and aggrieved. ”

Li Jingyuan said angrily: "You say it again!" If you beg me, I won't give you the car to ride! You go and sit with your mother, and you can still sit in the dragon chariot! He looked up at the sky again, and said lightly: "I don't know who is shameless, and the road of two hours will also seduce the emperor's uncle." ”

Xuanhui's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she was about to slap her when she raised her hand, but she was quickly stopped by Duan Min's eyes. Duan Min's words to Li Jingyuan, the county lord, are excessive, what is the responsibility for slandering the elder? Besides, this is also what our daughter's family said? Our car is small, and we can't sit on the county lord, so you better go back! ”

Li Jingyuan was extremely angry and said: "Sure enough, it was the three of you who bullied me again, isn't it a princess who bullied me?" You people, full of courtesy, righteousness and shame, don't do something to teach and receive in private! ”

He Jing saw that Li Jingyuan was getting more and more unspeakable, so he laughed and said, "Otherwise, I'll accompany the county lord to sit in the car!" It just so happened that our car was crowded with three people. I've also heard that the wood and curtains of the county lord's cars are all of the finest, and I'd like to see them! ”

Li Jingyuan saw that He Jing had sent the steps, and it was almost their turn to set off, so she said angrily: "Forgive me for not seeing anything good!" Let's go! ”

Duan Min and Xuan Hui watched He Jing leave with sympathy. In a few moments, their carriage began to leave. Xuanhui secretly lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. Because the Son of Heaven traveled with the harem, both sides of the road along the way were covered with curtains, so that no buildings could be seen, and there would be no idle people passing by.

After watching it for a while, Xuan Hui felt bored, remembering the excitement of the last time he went to see the dragon boat, and his eyes couldn't help but look for the figure wearing a red official uniform and riding a black horse among the guards.

"Sister, what are you looking for?" Duan Min asked curiously.

As if he had been caught doing something bad, Xuanhui smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't look for anything!" I've never seen such a big battle on patrol, I'm looking at people! ”

Duan Min smiled: "The palace is full of people, there is no quiet place, haven't you gotten tired of seeing it?" This time, I want to take a good look at the scenery of Nanyuan, which was built by Emperor Taizong for his mother's 60th birthday, and has been repaired and supplemented from time to time over the years, and the imperial garden is no way to compare. ”

Xuanhui smiled slyly: "If you want me to say, there is another sister who has to take a closer look." I heard that the future Cao Horse is also here this time! ”
