Chapter 468: Chilling
Concubine Zheng came back to her senses, looked at the queen, and said with a reproachful face, "Sister, you should take good care of the palace maids and eunuchs in your palace, just now on the way to my arrival, I heard the palace maid say that last night, the largest coffin shop in Kyoto sent a coffin to Ao Fu, and it was still a high-quality golden silk nanmu coffin, and the palace maid said, ......." ”
Concubine Zheng frowned slightly, and did not say anything white.
But with her surprised eyes just now, no one could guess that the gossip spread by the palace maid was that Mrs. Ao had passed away.
Mrs. Ao's face stiffened.
Anyone who was mistaken for death couldn't be happy, not to mention that last night's coffin was given to her beloved little son, which made her angry even more than her death.
Seeing that Mrs. Ao was displeased, the queen's brows tightened, and she looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei's eyes as if she had spat cold poison.
There are some things that she knows will make people unhappy when she says them, but she still says them!
Zheng Guifei seemed to be fine, blessed and sat down.
She just wants to block them and treat her as a dead person, if the queen really gets the military power of General Ao, it will be a heavy blow to her, why don't she have fun first?
I don't know who is so bold that he dares to send a coffin to Ao Fu, she is not small, she likes it.
Thinking about it, Concubine Zheng Guifei smiled again, "Yesterday, Second Young Master Ao got married, I thought that the eldest young master had already married, but it turned out that there was not, I don't know how long General Ao will stay in Kyoto when he returns to Beijing this time?" ”
Mrs. Ao tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said, "In today's border pass, the situation is changing rapidly, and when the general comes back to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, he will rush back to the border pass, and it will not be delayed for long." ”
Concubine Zheng nodded and smiled, "It's still General Ao who has filial piety, is far away at the border, and rushed back to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but the palace still remembers what General Ao said, 'There will be no disapproval of the king's life abroad'." ”
In the end, Concubine Zheng's tone and eyes changed.
A general who dared to take the emperor's words as a deaf ear actually came back to congratulate the emperor on his birthday when war was very likely to occur at the border pass.
It's strange that the emperor will be rare with his few words of congratulations.
It's just that last year, the emperor had a birthday, and General Ao couldn't rush back, and said in front of the civil and military officials that he would come back next year to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, otherwise the emperor would not blame him.
Mrs. Ao smiled, although she was recuperating, it didn't mean that she didn't know anything, she avoided guests, and she was also afraid that she would have close contacts with the ministers and wives of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and provoke General Ao to be suspicious of her by the emperor.
She understands everything.
"What the concubine said is, it's just that my generals have always been good at what they say, and they will do what they say, the situation at the border is changing rapidly, but there are still many generals in the army, and they can also stand alone, I know a saying, called 'strategizing, winning thousands of miles away', the border pass, the concubine can rest assured."
Mrs. Ao said, and the queen smiled, "I have heard and seen, and the general's wife in this palace can also be qualified for half a general." ”
Mrs. Ao blushed.
Princess Zhuang began to change the topic, "Speaking of female generals, don't we have a ready-made one here?" ”
Princess Zhuang opened her mouth, and everyone's eyes looked at her.
Princess Zhuang glanced at Pei Yu and said, "Lord of Qingyun Village, in the early years, there were officers and soldiers who were not used to Qingyun Village's maverick behavior, and sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and finally returned with a fiasco. ”
Obviously boasting that Pei's family has a strategy, in fact, she is a bandit.
Pei Shi hooked his lips and smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Princess Zhuang can say it directly, don't go around the bend with me, I'm stupid, I don't understand, in fact, it's not a day or two that I'm considered a bandit, sometimes, I think it's good to be a bandit, at least when you can't be reasonable, you can also fight your fists." ”
Pei Shi said as he admired her fist.
Mrs. Pei Xiang smiled, "Then you can show everyone your fists, and everyone will be a little more measured in their words and actions in the future." ”
Pei Shi glanced at Mrs. Pei Xiang, and then at the queen, who smiled and said, "This palace also wants to see ......." ”
Before the queen's words fell, I saw Pei's hands rise and fall.
The delicate little moments on the side are scattered.
That punch came too suddenly, and when a group of pampered and pampered noble ladies had seen such a posture, their faces turned white with fright.
Pei Shi withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, when I have a bad temper and beat someone, I won't be so ruthless, at most I will break a few ribs." ”
Most...... Break a few ribs...... Nothing more......
A group of noble ladies swallowed their saliva and subconsciously sat far away from Pei's.
It's not my race, far away.
Especially Princess Zhuang, her face was a little pale.
She also wanted to accuse Pei of not breaking the things in the queen's palace, but looking at Pei's hand, she finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Princess Zhuang had to endure it, and her eyes lit up with envy.
It took a long time for the queen to come back to her senses, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she praised, "Mrs. Wu'anhou is extraordinary in martial arts, and she is a heroine among women." ”
Pei Shi said modestly, "The queen praised it falsely, and the courtiers didn't dare to be ashamed." ”
Concubine Zheng sat there and drank tea for a long time.
She glanced at Pei Shi, and then at Mrs. Pei Xiang, what flowed in her eyes.
Mrs. Pei Xiang was helping the Pei family, and on the same day, when the Marquis of Wu'an married the Pei family, the young patriarch of the Pei family also congratulated him personally, and it seems that the Pei family and the Pei family have a great relationship.
In the main hall, everyone talked and laughed.
After a while, Princess Zhuang was restless again, and she asked the queen, "How is Princess Chao's illness?" ”
The queen shook her head and said, "It's a little better." ”
It's just that I heard that it's really good that no one has seen Princess Chaotian.
To be honest, it's really a good thing that Princess Chaotian can't afford to get sick.
Beilie's most favored princess couldn't afford to be sick in the Xiaoguo Mansion of the Great Zhou, and there was no medical treatment for the medicinal stones, Beilie was angry, and the Xiaoguo Mansion was afraid and uncomfortable.
Once the Xiao Guogong Mansion falls, the military power that has been occupied for decades should be returned to the imperial court, right?
She doesn't want that when the third prince ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, she will be afraid that the Xiao Guo Mansion will rebel, the king will be in the world, and she will have trouble sleeping and eating, so what kind of emperor should she be? !
An Rong sat down and listened quietly, only to feel that there was something wrong with Princess Zhuang, as if she didn't find fault, she was uncomfortable.
This time, it's going to be difficult for the Xiao Guogong Mansion again, right?
An Rong pursed his lips.
However, she thought it was wrong, Princess Zhuang didn't want to pick the thorn of the Xiao Guo Mansion, and she couldn't move the wives of the Xiao Guo Mansion.
She lured out Princess Lingyang through Princess Chaotian, praised her beauty and intelligence, and asked the queen if she had a favorite candidate for the horse.
An Rong understood Princess Zhuang's intentions at that time, she wanted Young Master Ao to marry Princess Lingyang.
As for the virtue of Master Ao, lingering in the wine shop, looking for flowers and asking willows, everyone in Kyoto knows that the queen will marry Princess Lingyang to him?
Is this unclear that it is a bamboo pole to knock on the queen?
If you have military power, you will do whatever you want.
As soon as Princess Zhuang said this, Concubine Zheng Guifei laughed first, "I heard that Young Master Ao is both talented and beautiful, can be written and martial, and can be called the head of the young masters of all the families in Kyoto." ”
The queen was angry, and she couldn't wait to reply to Concubine Zheng, if it was really that good, you would marry Princess Huiyang to him!
The queen is now looking at Princess Zhuang more and more unpleasantly, she has to inch in, and she bites people when she sees them, which is even more stupid than a pig.
The queen has sacrificed too much for the military power in the hands of General Ao, she doesn't want to fall short, it's just Princess Lingyang, don't even think about it!
At this moment, Prince Rui and the eldest princess came in, and the queen hurriedly diverted the topic.
Princess Zhuang still wanted to bring up the old matter again, but Mrs. Ao shook her head at her and asked her to stop talking.
How can such a big matter be mentioned in front of so many people, the left and right generals have not yet expressed their support for the three princes, they have chips in their hands, and they are not afraid that the queen will not compromise.
After another quarter of an hour, my father-in-law came in and said, "Queen, the hour is almost up, and it is time to invite all the ladies to the banquet." ”
The queen got up with a smile and led everyone to the Wanshou Palace, where the banquet was held.
When they arrived at Wanshou Palace, all the ladies found their husbands, and everyone in Xiao Guogong's Mansion stood there dumbfounded.
Xiao Lao Guogong, General Xiao, and Xiao Zhan are not there.
Fortunately, Second Master Xiao came over.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked, "What about Grandpa Guo?" ”
Second Master Xiao said, "It seems that something has happened, and the emperor summoned my father and them to discuss things." ”
At this time, a father-in-law came over and asked them to sit down.
An Rong left with her father-in-law, and her and Xiao Zhan's positions were still in front of the Seventh Prince.
Just when An Rong sat down, the Seventh Prince looked at her stingily and said, "You talk quietly for a while, my ears are very smart, don't go back up, blame me for eavesdropping." ”
An Rong, "....... ”
She seems to have hurt the young heart of a little prince?
An Rong really wanted to introduce him to Lian Xuan for a few days, let him train him, what does it mean to be angry and not discouraged.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Guogong Mansion came.
After Xiao Zhan sat down, An Rong asked him, "Is something really wrong?" ”
From Xiao Zhan's face, she didn't see it, she knew that Xiao Zhan was a little moody.
Xiao Zhan nodded his head, "The news from the border pass has returned, and Dongyan has killed thousands of people in my Great Zhou." ”
Such a big event should have been reported by beating the drum, but because today is the emperor's birthday, it can't be ruined.
However, the emperor was already furious.
An Rong guessed that it would be like this, Prince Dongyan was brutal and unkind, but he did what he said, not to mention, there was Shangguan Hao's handwriting.
It's just that An Rong didn't expect that the messenger who sent the message to the border pass was not only killed, but also impersonated and sent a fake letter to the border pass.
The letter reads: Dongyan is prepared, don't be reckless, hang up the battle card, don't pay attention to the provocation of the prince of Dongyan, if you can't bear it, you must try to win half a month, so that the imperial court can recruit troops and horses, and raise military rations and salaries.
The implication is that within half a month, the prince of Dongyan will kill all the people in the border pass, and don't pay attention to it.
This is to chill the hearts of the people of my Great Zhou!
The people were killed, and the soldiers stationed at the border pass were indifferent, how could they not be chilled?
"What's next?" An Rong pursed his lips and asked.
Xiao Zhan didn't hide it from An Rong, "Uncle may rush to the border overnight, and when I get the military power, my grandfather will also go." ”R1152
