Chapter Seventy-One: Finally Back to Beijing
Although Wanxi felt that Princess Ning's death was strange, even if there was something unspeakable in it, it was the infighting of the royal family, or the dispute in King Ning's backyard, so she didn't inquire much and waited for King Chenjun to return to Beijing.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the news of Princess Ning's death spread all over the capital, and the white yarn was hung outside King Ning's mansion, although Prince Ning was not a person who was affectionate to women, but after all, Princess Ning was in love, so many years Princess Ning knew the general situation, knew how to advance and retreat, and took care of the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, and got along very well with the ladies in the backyards of the houses. Now he died unexpectedly, so King Ning was also furious in the house, and ordered a strict investigation of the cause of the princess's death, which frightened the concubines and concubines in the house to panic, but they could check and check, only to find out that the princess was eager to ask for a son, and used the wrong medicine, so she was poisoned and died.
The ladies of the powerful houses in Beijing all went to King Ning's mansion to mourn, and even Cheng Guifei in the palace was alarmed, and came to King Ning's mansion in person, in King Ning's study, I don't know what he said to King Ning, King Ning cheered up again, and someone handled the princess's funeral.
The first nine emperors went to the court, received the Chenjun Wang's recital, the first ten days of the first ten can take the Northern Wei envoys into Beijing to reinstate, the emperor was overjoyed, first in front of everyone commended the merits of the Chenjun King, and discussed with the prime minister's people how to receive the Northern Wei envoys, after all, there is a princess who came with relatives, and discussed the specific details of how to let the Northern Wei Dynasty cut the land and pay compensation, and finally the emperor said to King Heng: "Tomorrow you will wait for the court to meet the heroes of my Great Liang, as well as the Northern Wei mission." ”
King Heng received the decree, happy in his heart, on behalf of the court, this is the responsibility of the prince, it seems that my father has been very satisfied with my performance recently, and when I returned to the house, I was still full of spring breeze, I thought about it and went to the backyard, this Luo Shuyao is really a lovely person, since she entered the Hengwang Mansion, she was more gentle than when she saw herself before, and she came to such a good thing within a few days of entering the door, and she was really King Wangben, so when she came to Luo Shuyao's courtyard, she was more gentle to her than before.
And in the other courtyard of King Heng's mansion, Chen Jiao'e was boringly flipping through the book, listening to the little girl come to report that the prince had returned to the house and went to Luo Shuyao's courtyard, Chen Jiao'e's hand squeezed the page, and then said expressionlessly: "Let him be." The little girl asked again, "What about Luo Shuyao?" Chen Jiao'e said without raising her head: "Isn't it quite peaceful recently, keep her first, and it may be useful in the future." The little girl nodded and retreated, and Chen Jiao'e re-brushed the paper that had been crumpled by her.
Somewhere in the capital, a richly dressed and exquisitely dressed woman heard the report, but only slightly pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "Don't worry, the days are still long." ”
On the morning of the eleventh day of the first month, Wanxi dressed up and secretly went out of Luofu, came to the private room on the second floor of Wangyu Building, ordered tea and snacks, and looked under the window from time to time.
It wasn't until noon that His Royal Highness King Heng at the North City Gate waited for the team he was going to greet on behalf of the imperial court, and when he saw King Chenjun, King Heng urged him to take a few steps forward and said: "Chen'er, the emperor ordered this king to greet you and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty here, and the journey is still smooth?" ”
King Chenjun hugged his wrist and said, "Everything is fine, let the imperial uncle wait for a long time." ”
King Heng smiled and said: "What did Chen'er say, that is, if the father does not give an order, the imperial uncle will also come to pick you up, you have suffered in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and you have to wait for the time, go to the imperial uncle's mansion to sit down, and the imperial uncle will ask you to make some delicious supplements." ”
King Chenjun also smiled, thinking that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and his imperial uncle was becoming more and more able to speak, so he said: "That nephew has thanked the imperial uncle first." ”
The two of them exchanged a few words, and then entered the city, King Heng first arranged the envoys and princesses of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the post house, and after everything was settled, he said to the king of Chenjun: "Chen'er, my father is still waiting for you in the palace, and this king will accompany you back to the palace to resume your life." King Chenjun nodded, and the two of them left the post station with their subordinates, and when they passed by Wangyu Tower, King Chenjun inadvertently looked up at a private room on the second floor, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, the emperor has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, and when he saw King Heng coming in with King Chenjun and kneeling on the ground to ask for peace, the emperor hurriedly walked down the dragon book case in person, helped King Chenjun, and said: "Chen'er is suffering, let the emperor's grandfather take a look." Although King Heng felt that it was not a taste in his heart, he remembered the girl's words, so he said: "Father and Chen'er haven't seen each other for a long time, so I will go back first if I have nothing to do", and said to King Chenjun: "Chen'er, don't forget to go to the imperial uncle when you are free, and the imperial uncle will prepare dishes for you." ”
The emperor looked at Prince Heng and was satisfied, his son has become more and more sensible recently, but he snorted coldly: "I have already prepared your lunch, where are you going?" ”
When King Heng heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he just smiled on his face, and then thanked him.
After lunch, the emperor drank tea in civilian clothes and said to Prince Heng: "Let your imperial nephew talk about the affairs at the border pass, and you can also listen to it, your third brother's mansion has something to do during this time, and you will also participate in the negotiations with the Northern Wei Dynasty." King Heng nodded yes, and the three of them wanted to sit down and drink tea like the three of them.
The emperor smiled and asked: "Chen'er, Chen Zhuo also said when he came back that you burned all the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty to death in Fengming Pass, it is really a clever move, with only 2,000 defenders, you annihilated the 50,000 army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which can be called a strange news." ”
King Chenjun knew that his imperial grandfather still had doubts about himself, so he said: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, this is also a coincidence, the grandson only saw that the cotton shoes and horses' hooves of the Fengming Pass defenders were wrapped in a layer of oilcloth, I heard that it was learned from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the snow in the north is heavy in winter, and the dripping water becomes ice, they all say that this can prevent the snow from wetting the cotton shoes and prevent the horse's hooves from slipping on the ice, the grandson only thought that in case the Northern Wei Dynasty rushed to attack the city, once the reinforcements arrived too late, they could use fire as a last resort, so that we could become an advantage with fewer people, It was convenient to escape from Fengming Pass after the fire, so the county Cheng first evacuated the people in the city, and then sent people to the nearby villages to buy more oil. ”
After hearing this, the emperor nodded again and again, and then asked, "I listened to Liu Jiang's performance, why have you been missing for a while, is something wrong?" Let the imperial grandfather be worried. ”
King Chenjun smiled and said, "I have to ask the emperor's grandfather not to offend his grandson." ”
The emperor said happily: "It's good that you come back safely, it's too late for the imperial grandfather to care about you, how can he punish you." ”
So the king of Chenjun said: "Grandfather Huang, before leaving Beijing, didn't we receive information from the Northern Wei Dynasty, saying that the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty said that he was sick in bed, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was controlled by his younger brother Wuhou, and this Wuhou was extremely close to the Western Xia, so the grandson wanted to go and see what was going on with Emperor Wei?" ”
Hearing him say this, the emperor was shocked and said, "What? ”
