Chapter 252

How tempting to see the light again! However, he could not show the slightest desire, "The Crane Army swears to be loyal to the Holy Lord, and only obey the Holy Oracle!" ”

The sonorous words made the emperor's eyebrows stretch, and there was finally a smile on his face, "Go, immediately recall the Crane Control Army on the side of the Hebei Army." ”

"Yes!" After the man in black gave a salute, he dodged away.

The emperor fell into deep thought.

It took a full hour before he spoke, "Someone." ”

The eunuch came in with a quick and light step, bowed and said, "The slave is here." ”

"Prepare a soup bath." The Emperor said.

This is to ask with a clear heart. The eunuch was accustomed to it, and had already ordered people to prepare everything, and came out to let people prepare to serve, and stood at the door for a little half a cup of tea, turned around and went back to the house, and said respectfully, "Holy Lord, the soup bath has been prepared." ”

The emperor got up and moved to the Yuquan Palace.

After bathing in fragrant soup, the emperor changed into a wide white silk robe, and sat in the pavilion with his hair draped.

The eunuch brought a tray with a delicate golden silk nan wood box inlaid with gold and jade, and the box was carved with a lifelike picture of the White Sun Flying Immortals, "Shengshang, this is the new golden pill that the real person sent in yesterday." ”

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the box, and there were six pills that exuded a warm golden color on top of the black silk.

The Emperor raised his hand and picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The eunuch closed the box, put it into the box, and then stood aside with his hands down, and when he saw that the emperor was starting to sweat, he asked softly, "Holy Lord, can you double cultivate today?" ”

"Hmm." The Emperor snorted through his nose.

The eunuch raised his hand and asked people to go to Concubine Yu immediately.

If the emperor did not name the person of double cultivation in advance, whenever this time, he would not have the patience to choose people, everything was arranged by the eunuchs, and those concubines who wanted to get the prince would buy the eunuchs in order to conceive the prince.

If it weren't for that, those high-ranking concubines would not be willing to rejoice in the pavilion in broad daylight.

Eunuchs are also very good at grasping a degree. will not arrange concubines every time, occasionally there are so many times, the emperor will not blame, because compared to those female shadows who follow the punishment every time, these beauties in the harem know more about taste, and they will cater more.

The cranes in the courtyard are pacing, the breeze blows through the lotus pond, and the half-blooming white lotus pavilion between the green cover bushes is slim, reflecting the middle-aged man in white in the pavilion, which really looks a little fairy at first glance.

Not much. A woman in white clothes came all the way to the willows, standing under the pavilion and bowing, "Holy one." ”

The emperor opened his eyes slightly, and the breeze was urgent, blowing the streamers in the crook of her arms, and the green silk was flying, and her beautiful face was holy and shy, as if she had seen a fairy for a moment.

Concubine Yu raised her eyes slightly, not missing the surprise in his eyes. So he had the courage to quietly take off his shoes, and walked barefoot into the pavilion, with snow feet looming under the white gauze skirt, and there was no dodging decoration. The light and faint are faint and faint, and it is emotional.

Seeing this, the eunuch ordered the white veil around the pavilion to be put down, and then sent everyone to the distant corridor to wait for the dispatch, and he himself was on call at any time under the steps outside the pavilion.

From noon until the sun sets. It was tossed around for more than two hours.

The eunuch quietly wiped his sweat, thinking that he didn't know if the golden pill offered by the real person this time was effective, or if Concubine Yu was intoxicating today! But Concubine Yu has been preparing for so long. I've been here many times, and if I can't get pregnant again, it's really a bad fate, and I can't arrange for her to come next time......

There is never a shortage of beauties in the emperor's harem, and the appearance of this concubine is not as good as that of the concubine and those tender little beauties, so she is usually not favored.

However, what the eunuch didn't expect was that although Concubine Yu still had no children this time, she turned over with her dress and was actually favored!

The concubine was furious when she learned about it, but she couldn't, so she had to order someone to check the Taoist classics and find out how to pretend to be a fairy.

In the palace, the scheming of competing for favor is constantly staged, all of them are competing to be immortals, and Ling Ziyue and Liu Yun of the border pass stretched their necks and waited for more than half a month, but they waited for the emperor's holy decree to reprimand Liu Yun for being negligent and leaving his post without permission!

Liu Yun was reprimanded, and even the people of Zhending Mansion were upset when they heard it.

But what Liu Yun cares about most is not being reprimanded, but being fined for one year!

Liu Yun has four brothers, the old lady above is still there, there is no separation, he still has two sons and a daughter, and several grandchildren. He knew this, usually he ate military food in the army, sewed and mended the middle clothes all over his body, wore and wore them, and sent clothes from home, he wrote to say that he was wearing armor, and the court also issued these middle clothes or something, and there was no chance to wear new clothes, so he could make some small clothes and send them every half a load.

The generals are leading the troops outside, and the border wars are frequent, and there is no other way to make money. Liu Yun is an honest official, never accepts bribes, and does not collect money from the people, and originally relied on a little money and a grange to raise a large family in the capital!

Although he is not so poor that he can't take out a copper plate, this year's punishment is really going to rub off a layer of skin for his whole family.

The emperor killed chickens and monkeys, how could Ling Ziyue not know, and his blood was half cold.

If it weren't for his promise to Liu Yun to join forces to attack Liao, maybe the saint would not have punished him.

Ling Ziyue's family has few people, and there are more people in the family than Liu Yun, but when things come to this point, he is afraid that his help will bring unnecessary trouble to Liu Yun, so he thinks about it or gives up.

Seven or eight days passed, Ling Ziyue found that the Crane Control Army around him had not appeared again, and there was the explosive crossbow made by Lou Xiaowu on the case.

The sudden change in his attitude forced the saint to be anxious, but what if he was in a hurry? Isn't he still a good general? The military rations are several times faster than when they licked their faces in a low voice and went to ask for them!

Ling Ziyue only fully understood Chu Dingjiang's meaning at this time, now in the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, protecting the country and being loyal to the monarch cannot be both, if he is blindly loyal to the monarch, the meaning of the border is not much, the Liao State has been committing crimes every year, and he is not without the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, but the court is afraid of being beaten, and he is not allowed to send troops, for fear that he will have to compensate after losing the battle. Now that the saint can't move him, he can abandon his reputation and do something practical for the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

This may end up miserable, and perhaps the reputation of disloyalty will go down in history, but his arrogance can no longer bear to wait for the Liao people to come to burn and loot every year!

In the dark of night.

A group of men in black rode their horses to the post station to rest for a while.

After the change of horses, everyone stood in the yard.

Lou Xiaowu complained, "We said we didn't want to come, so we had to be forced to come, and we were invited back without being allowed to do anything...... Isn't that funny! ”

"Lord Chu, is it really okay if the other dozen or so crossbows are not dismantled?" Gao Dazhuang asked.

"If General Ling makes up his mind, don't say that there are more than a dozen crossbows, even if there are hundreds, he can't help him." Chu Dingjiang was more confident in Ling Ziyue, when he left, he left the crossbow in the camp, he only knew a little about ordnance, and after watching Lou Xiaowu fiddle with it, he probably knew the structure and weaknesses of the crossbow in the Dao, presumably Ling Ziyue also knew the crossbow, in this case, why worry about not finding a way to deal with it?

Everything in this world is wonderful, just like a huge game of chess, strength and weakness are due to the time and situation, no chess can be strong for no reason to be invincible, no matter how strong the momentum, there will be weakness.

One trades off the other.

Chu Dingjiang smiled, sometimes Taoism is also very reasonable.

He came back to his senses and saw Anjiu crouching on the ground and ravaging the tiger named Okuyu.

The two tigers do not grow fast, but they are very strong, and a silly tiger face has never become more powerful because of the growth of their size, and the arrogance on their bodies is sometimes not as strong as that of cats.

An Jiu thought to herself, it must be Mo Sigui's medicine that fed them stupidly, and she made up her mind to eat as much as possible and take less medicine in the future.

Otherwise, it is really not good to be "physically strong and mentally disabled".

"My lord, after we return to Beijing, will we still do the same work as before?" Li Qingzhi was very unwilling, during this time in the military camp, he didn't want to go back to the old days, if that day he could also put on armor and fight on the battlefield, even if he died in battle, he would be happy.

"What's wrong with doing the old job?" Tall and strong, he didn't have a good way.

Li Qingzhi drooped his head and squeezed out two words, "Aggrieved." ”

"How can there be anything alive that is not aggrieved? Didn't you see Liu Yun win the battle and be punished! Didn't you see Ling Ziyue asking for a military ration and having to pretend to be a grandson! The tall man pinched the orchid finger and tapped his head vigorously, "You can be content!" ”

The crowd did not speak again.

After eating dry food and resting for half an hour, we continued on our way.

When I left Bianjing, it was a cool night with fog flowers, and when I came back, it was a rainy night with warm and hot weather.

When the group returned to the crane army, someone immediately led them into the palace.

After Gu Jinghong's death, the rebuilt Long Wuwei personnel were secretly summoned to the palace, and Long Wuwei was different from the shadows of several other branches, they were all closer to the Holy Lord, so as to protect the Holy Lord.

An Jiuzhi said that when she was classified as Long Wuwei, her heart was a little complicated, and she would soon be able to see Mei Yanran, she was not too happy, because she was not ready how to face Mei Yanran and how to deal with the relationship between them......

"Let's go in, rules, it's a saint today!" The man in black who led the way whispered a warning.

Only then did everyone know that this trip was a saint.

They hurried all the way back, full of embarrassment, and entered the main hall in such a hurry.

An Jiu saw that the middle-aged man who was drinking tea on the throne had a neat beard and a clear face, and he did not have the majesty he imagined, but his eyebrows were calm and he was very talkative.

"Long live my emperor!" The tall and strong leader knelt down.

The rest of the people shouted hooray, and knelt down as well.

The emperor's action of drinking tea paused, and slowly put down the teacup, "Gao Yuanxin? ”

Gao Yuanxin is the name that Gao Dazhuang later changed, and few people will shout.

The tall man bowed his head and said, "It's a subordinate." ”

"You're back." The emperor stepped down from the throne with a smile and helped him up with both hands, "You were good when you were in the crane control army back then, and this time you are even more shocking at the border pass, and I am very relieved." (To be continued......)
