Chapter 32: Divine Destiny is Like Chess

A month later, the battle was always in a stalemate, and Fuguang attacked several times, but was met with fierce resistance from Xiong Ce, the defender of the Northern Yuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe terrain of Beijiang City is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this carelessness was taken away by the Northern Yuan, and it is really not easy to take it again. Soldiers, horses, grains and grass are transported one after another, the loss is huge, and after a long time, the Great Zhou has been slightly declining and gradually has a protracted appearance. Emperor Xuan ordered the neighboring vassal states of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Turks to send troops to reinforce, the old lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was old and sick, and the state affairs had already fallen into the hands of the eldest prince Xiao Ding. Emperor Xuan was so angry that the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Turks were all friendly neighbors or subservient to the Great Zhou during the reign of the first emperor. In recent years, first the Northern Yuan Dynasty tore up the covenant and sent troops to invade, and now there are Eastern Jin Dynasty Yang Feng Yin violation, hidden from the wall, if the war in the north continues to be unresolved, I am afraid that other wolf ambitions such as the Turks will also be ready to move.

The situation is critical, and two factions gradually appear in the court. One faction is the main battle, believing that the thieves cannot be tolerated, and should face up to the attack, and also use color to deter other countries. One faction is in charge of peace, believing that the neighboring countries are eyeing each other, and they should first stabilize the situation and not give the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Turks a chance to take advantage of it, and then raise troops to reserve their strength and fight back one by one. What's more, the book strongly denounced the despicability and shame of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and persuaded the emperor to ask Xiao Huan, the fifth prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to behead the public for the crime of rebellion. The two factions insisted on their own opinions, argued, and fought on the spot in the court, Emperor Xuan was furious and walked away, and the next day he summoned two people into the palace to face the saint, one was Xiao Huan, the proton of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the other was Shen Congyun.

Many people speculate that Xiao Huan is only afraid that this time he will be more auspicious, and the emperor will have to kill chickens and monkeys in order to deter the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, Xiao Huan was not executed as people imagined, he and Shen Congyun entered the Chao'an Palace one after the other, and finally rode a sedan chair, and both went out of the Vermilion Bird Gate and went straight to the Proton Mansion.

Shen Congyun stayed in the Proton Mansion for a day and a night, and when he returned to the house, his face was full of excitement, he hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and went into his study again, and entered the palace again before dawn the next day. Before he came back from the palace, the father-in-law who passed the decree had already stepped into the mansion, the bright yellow golden dragon Xiangyun holy decree scroll was unfurled, and the whole mansion knelt at its feet, and the white and fat eunuch read out in a shrill voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Shen Rushuang, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingguo, is dignified, sincere, filial piety and benevolence, and has both talent and virtue. His father, Shen Congyun, was loyal and patriotic, brave and good at fighting, and was specially appointed as the generalissimo of the Dingbei Marching Army. Chin this. Shane. ”

A burst of long live long live knock sound resounded in the Dingguo Marquis's mansion, and the Li family smiled and repeatedly failed to keep Chang Gonggong, so he respectfully sent Chang Gonggong out in person, and sent Uncle Shen to Chang Gonggong's mansion to send a generous gift. At this time, the female official from the palace had already helped Shen Rushuang back to the backyard, and the emperor's will let her enter the palace the next day, so she specially sent the female official to explain all the matters to be paid attention to after entering the palace, and was responsible for taking care of her appearance and accompanying guidance when she entered the palace. Shen Rushuang's eyebrows were faint, and the female official didn't care, and still patiently mentioned them one by one.

In the evening, Shen Congyun returned to his home and made a special trip to meet Shen Rushuang with the Li family, which may be the last night of their daughter's residence in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. Su Yichen didn't dare to enter, listening to their intermittent whispers outside the hospital, there was the cry of his aunt, and the deep voice of his uncle, Sister Rushuang was still speechless, so quiet as if she didn't exist.

On August 28, the seventh year of Wenxuan, the auspicious day of the zodiac in this month, the day when Shen Rushuang entered the palace. At the time of the fifth watch, the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion was brightly lit, Shen Rushuang took Qiu Jing and Su Yue, bid farewell to his mother Li, and was personally driven by his father Shen Congyun and his brother Shen Ningxuan to Xihua Gate, and changed into the jade chariot sent out by the palace to welcome him, and drove into the deep, solemn and mysterious Chao'an Palace. From now on, although they are only separated by a high wall, they are like different sides of the sky, and it is rare to see each other throughout their lives.

It is said that the current emperor Yuwen Chengtai is the fourth prince of the first emperor, and he was the most favored concubine of the year with King Ning. Legend has it that the concubine is gentle and virtuous, is the first emperor before the throne has been in love, childhood sweetheart's lover, how can it be a red face, is in the prime of flowers, but in the first emperor with the first emperor to the Graceland Palace on the way to the summer suddenly contracted a vicious disease, actually died. The first emperor lost his beloved, and in the next six years, he did not draft a concubine, and devoted himself to supporting his fourth son Yuwen Chengtai as the crown prince, and in Wenjing for ten years, he was passed on to him, and died in Graceland soon after. Come to think of it, the first emperor can be regarded as an infatuated species, but I don't know if the current emperor, his favorite son, is also such a loving and sexual person.

Although Yuwen Chengtai has been on the throne for seven years, his harem is not full, and the original triennial draft of the imperial court was shelved due to national funerals, wars and other reasons, and was only called once three years ago. Now sitting on the main seat, is the first emperor for him when he selected for him the daughter of the general Lu Changwei Lu Yingying, Lu Yingying was born in the gate, although not the appearance of the city, but dignified and calm, knowledgeable, the first emperor quite appreciated, more importantly, his father Lu Changwei for the current dynasty of the first product hussar general, power and status to assist Yu Wen Chengtai to ascend the throne played a role that should not be underestimated. There are also two concubines, one of whom is Duan Changyou's sister Duan Qingzi - Concubine Hua, she and the queen are both Yuwen Cheng Taishang canonized when he was the prince, and successively gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, the eldest princess and the fifth princess Qiluo. However, the most popular at the moment is Yang Jinrong, the daughter of Yang Kaihua, the prime minister of the dynasty - Rong Concubine, although she only entered the palace the year before last, and has not yet given birth to a boy and half a girl to the emperor, but it is in the prime of jasper, and she was born delicate and moving, and she is very loved by the emperor. In addition, there are several concubines and nobles, and several beauties are always there.

Shen Rushuang was from the fourth rank of the ceremonial position, after the official seal on the same day, she stayed in the Dexi Palace, and heard that Emperor Xuan pampered her for three consecutive nights, and rewarded a lot of jewelry and playthings, and finally let Li's hanging heart fall down peacefully, and his father Shen Congyun also put down his heart and rushed to the frontier.

Accompanied by the deputy general Dong Ze, Dong Ze is the best of the young generation of generals, when Emperor Xuan was still in the East Palace, he often rode and hunted with him, and he was very trusting, this time let him follow, clearly saying that he was going to the battlefield to learn the real arrangement, but secretly it was unspeakable, Shen Congyun only didn't know.

With Shen Rushuang's entry into the palace, Shen Congyun's expedition, Shen Ningxuan's duty, and the huge Dingguo Marquis Mansion, there are often only Li and Su Yichen and a group of servants left. Su Yichen's relationship with her aunt has not been repaired, at first she was allowed to go to ask for peace every day, but then she simply ordered her to save the invitation to peace, and out of sight is clean.

She often sits under the apricot blossom tree in the courtyard, swinging, expecting to hear the faint and far-reaching sound of the flute outside the courtyard wall, but for some reason, the sound of the flute has not sounded for a long time, and her heart is lost, but it gradually calms down.
