Chapter 380: Cloud Surge (1)
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been quiet for several years, and it has not been a war for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
King An's rebellion ~ rebellion not only caused an uproar inside and outside the court, but also discussed among the people. The people in the palace are no exception, and they have to discuss a few words when they meet.
"I don't know how long this battle will take." There was not much fear or fear in Xinyun's tone, but there was some indescribable excitement: "I really didn't expect that King An would be so opposed." The imperial grandson personally led the troops to quell the chaos, and he will definitely succeed immediately, and it is best to capture King An alive and return to Beijing! ”
The imperial grandson took the initiative to invite Ying to go on the expedition, and his reputation was greatly enhanced among the government and the opposition, and even when Xinyun mentioned the imperial grandson, his eyes were shining.
Ling Jingshu sighed lightly: "I also think that it is only a matter of time before King An is defeated. It's a pity that the soldiers and people under the command of King An, together with the war, I don't know how many people will die, let alone how many people will be displaced and their families will be destroyed. ”
The incident of King An in the previous life was a few years later. Not to mention the advance of this life, the person who led the troops to the expedition was no longer King Yan, but the emperor's grandson.
Xinyun listened to Ling Jingshu's words, and was also a little embarrassed: "Yes, a war will inevitably kill many people." There's no way around it. The rebellion had to be quelled, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty could be truly stable. Those of us who live in the palace can also have a peaceful and good life. ”
Ling Jingshu smiled self-deprecatingly: "You're right! It's me who is too hypocritical. Thinking about it doesn't help at this time. It is better to look forward to the early triumphant return of the imperial grandson. If you finish the war one day earlier, you can also have peace of mind one day earlier. ”
The two were whispering, and Concubine Wei Xian, who had been neatly dressed, walked out: "What are you two whispering?" looked at one by one, and his face was more solemn than the other. ”
Ling Jingshu cheered up and responded: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid and Xinyun are talking about His Royal Highness Taisun leading the troops to fight. ”
Speaking of the war, Concubine Wei Xian's expression sighed: "Once there is a war, it will not be peaceful in this palace. The emperor is also anxious and in a bad mood these days, and I heard that he also scolded a chamberlain yesterday. You two go with me to the Zichen Palace, be more careful. ”
Ling Jingshu and Xinyun glanced at each other and responded in unison.
……
The emperor has indeed been angry a lot recently, and when he was in the court, the hundred officials trembled, and after retreating from the court, he returned to the Zichen Palace, and the maids who served him were even more frightened.
In just a few days, there have been five or six palace maids who have been reprimanded. There was another one who was so badly injured that he couldn't survive. Looking at them one by one, how can anyone not be frightened?
Those concubines who usually come to flatter under various excuses, no one dares to come to Zichen Hall at this time. lest one carelessly anger the emperor.
Concubine Wei Xian is commendable in her courage, and she insists on coming to Zichen Hall every day to say goodbye. greeted the emperor with warmth, and the tenderness and concern never stopped.
The same is true today.
The emperor was originally scolding Gonggong Ding with a gloomy face, but when he heard that the chamberlain reported that Concubine Wei Xian was coming, the emperor's face suddenly softened a lot: "Let Concubine Wei Xian come in." ”
Gonggong Ding was a little fortunate that he had escaped, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Wei Xian, who was wearing a light blue palace dress, walked in, and her beautiful face was full of gentle smiles: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
The emperor lifted Concubine Wei Xian and naturally held Concubine Wei Xian's hand: "I said yesterday that now the trivial affairs in this palace are taken care of by you alone, and you don't have to come to me every day to ask for peace." ”
As soon as Concubine Li Shu died, no one in this palace could compare with Concubine Wei Xian. Because of the dragon body, the emperor no longer gets close to any concubines, and he is more and more fond of the empathetic and gentle and considerate Concubine Wei Xian.
Concubine Wei Xian said with a smile: "The emperor is tired of worrying about the court and the people, and the concubines can't help, and I feel guilty enough." I can come to accompany the emperor every day to gossip a few words, and I feel more comforted in my heart. The emperor should stop taking his concubines away. ”
At this moment, the emperor who said it was comfortable, stretched his brows and smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything in the future." ”
Ling Jingshu watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but secretly admire Concubine Wei Xian.
The emperor is old, his temper is uncertain, and it is difficult to serve. Concubine Wei Xian looked at the wrinkled face, and she could still make a gentle interpretation flower. This concentration and acting skills are far beyond the reach of people.
The women who can gain a firm foothold in this palace cannot be underestimated!
Concubine Wei Xian didn't stay long, and sure enough, she only gossiped a few words, and earnestly told the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and then retired.
For days, every day.
Ling Jingshu followed Concubine Wei Xian in and out of Zichen Hall every day, and there were naturally many opportunities to see the emperor. However, the emperor's eyes rarely fall on her.
For the emperor who has no lust, young beauty is no longer attractive. What made him most comfortable and happy was the gentle companionship of Concubine Wei Xian.
Ling Jingshu was finally completely relieved.
The only regret is that after Wei Yan returned to Beijing, he lived in the prince's mansion and carefully conditioned the prince's body every day. One of the two was in the palace and the other was in the prince's mansion, and there was almost no chance to meet.
Every few days, Wei Yan would have people secretly send a letter to Lingbo Palace.
Because of the war, the people in the palace were uneasy, and no one had the leisure to pay attention to Ling Jingshu's every move. With the cover of Concubine Wei Xian, the correspondence between the two has been very hidden and smooth.
……
In the first month of the emperor's grandson's expedition, the battle report sent back was very simple, and it always took time for the army to march to the battlefield. Still on the way, there's nothing worth saying.
The second month later, the news of the victory was frequently transmitted back to the capital.
The crown prince first recovered several states and counties under King An, forcing King An to retreat to the domain. Then he led his troops to surround the domain.
The imperial grandson was well versed in the strategy of attacking the heart, and was not in a hurry to attack, and sent people to shout under the city every day to let King An lead the troops to surrender. On the one hand, he secretly sneaked into the city and spread rumors everywhere, and the people in the city were afraid of the force of the imperial army, and the people were panicked.
Even the soldiers under King An began to think about it, and some even sneaked out of the city gate in the middle of the night and surrendered to the imperial army.
After such a war report was transmitted to the capital, hundreds of officials in the court praised the emperor's grandson for his magnanimity and demeanor as a soldier who surrendered without a fight, which was exactly the same as the emperor back then.
praised the emperor's grandson, but also patted the emperor's fart.
The emperor was in a happy mood and praised the emperor's grandson.
The crown prince is proud, and King An's life is sad.
There are more and more soldiers who secretly flee and surrender, and the people who crowd the city gate every day to escape from the city are also crowded. If it goes on like this, if you don't wait for the imperial grandson to attack the city, you will have to kill yourself without a fight.
But at this time, if you open the city gate and surrender, it will be too much!
King An, who refused to give up, finally made a last fight! (To be continued.) )
