Chapter 248: Welcome back to the Queen Mother

Li Rui welcomed back the three princes, and there was also good news from Qiantang, Zhang Nuo, the Duke of Jin, and his party exterminated more than 5,000 Yin Dynasty thieves in Jiang's Wu Fort, and Yin Siqi, the son of the leader of the thieves, was also injured by the arrow and died on the spot.

Jiang Daoqi took advantage of Yin Siqi's earnest psychology to make meritorious contributions, and proposed that he could take advantage of the opportunity for the emperor to come to Jiang's Wu Fort to greet the Empress Dowager, lure her into Wu Fort, and cover up his plan to assassinate the young emperor by surprise.

Sure enough, Yin Siqi immediately took the bait. The Jiang family's Wu Fort has a secret passage, Jiang Daoqi asked Yin Siqi's people to enter in batches and hide in various places in Wu Fort, but within a few days, Qiantang has Yin's good hands arriving one after another.

Jiang Daoqi was worried that there would be help behind him, so he deliberately delayed it for a few days, and after dealing with Yin Siqi in every possible way, it took countless words to finally determine that Yin Siqi could only call so many people in the south of Great Chu, so he contacted the Duke of Jin and several clans in Qiantang, crossed the bridge and dismantled the ladder, closed the door and let the dogs go, and scattered Yin Siqi and shared it with the people in various places in the Jiang family's Wubao.

Poor Yin Siqi was still dreaming that the young emperor was coming, and the rebellious army took advantage of the night to rush up and take advantage of Wubao, and his subordinates were slaughtered in the dream first.

Jiang Daoqi is not the same person as Zhang Nuo and Li Mao, the princes of the Jin Kingdom, and his attitude towards anti-thieves is also completely different.

The descendants of the Li family, even if they know that the other party is a thief, a rebel and a thief, will tie them up and escort them and send them to Beijing to await trial, and they will never stain unnecessary blood on their own hands. This was the case with the rebellion of the King of Qiyang back then, and the same was true with the rebellion of the King of Xiangcheng in Jingnan.

And because Jiang Daoqi has a "black history" that once contained the Yin family, he refused to leave a living mouth, let alone Yin Siqi. Zhang Nuo hated these people to the core, thinking that there was no need for forgiveness at all, anyway, they were committing heinous crimes, leaving them to cause trouble, and they had to send more manpower, waste grain and grass and send them all the way to Beijing, and kill them if they were killed.

That night, the sound of killing in Jiang's Wu Fort was shocking, and there were screams and weapons colliding everywhere. The Chinese soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion were killed as bloody people, Jiang Daoqi had already pointed out the hiding places of these thieves one by one, painted them on the map, and more cunningly scattered the locations where they were hiding.

The Chinese army is also holding back its strength.

They were obviously the elite of King Qin, the strongest force in the Chinese army and even in Dachu, but they were inexplicably involved in the palace fight, became the "guards" who escorted the queen mother, and almost took on the charge of rebellion.

Thinking that their comrades were defending against foreign enemies in Guanzhong at the moment, and they were trapped in Jiangnan and became the playthings in the hands of the ministers of the clan, and had to give in due to the safety of the Queen Mother, these soldiers of the cavalry battalion finally found a way to vent and kill these thieves cleanly.

Avenging the lord is the duty of the Chinese army!

The main house.

The courtyard of the Queen Mother was protected by a team of the most loyal soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and Zhang Shaoguang stayed awake all night, sitting in the Ming Hall in the middle hall and waiting for the result.

In order to protect the families of the ministers, the wives and daughters of the ministers of the East Palace stayed with the Queen Mother and were protected by the Xiaoqi Battalion. This includes Zhang Nuo's wife Zhang and Jiang Daoqi's wife Gu.

The child sent by the Gu family sat behind her aunt and trembled, her eyes closed, as long as the killing sound outside sounded, she trembled like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and finally even covered her ears.

Gu Shi turned around to comfort the little lady of the Gu family, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Her stepmother really only loved her own child, and when she saw that the good opportunity to be sent to the palace was not left to her seven-year-old daughter, but sent her nephew's wife and child in.

It's just that he is so timid, and he doesn't care about his daughter's character at all, how can he survive in the palace?

Not to mention being favored by the young emperor.

The daughter of the Zhu family listened to everything outside with a blank face, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Her relationship with her cousin is gone, and she doesn't know if her cousin will be hit.

She didn't understand why she clearly showed her unwillingness, and the Queen Mother still had to keep her. Before leaving, she had left a note for her cousin, explaining that even if she entered the palace as a female official, she would ask His Majesty to let her out of the palace and marry again, and ask her cousin to wait for her.

She knew him, and as long as she saw that note, she would definitely wait.

What she has to do now is to become wooden and nasty, so that the Queen Mother and the Emperor do not take a fancy to her.

There are no dead people outside, what does it have to do with her?

The Jiang family knew that the family was entrusted with a child of the Yin family, and this matter had been arranged before her father-in-law died.

Now that the killing outside is shocking, she almost cries with joy. Their Jiang family finally stood in the line, and her heart was also settled, so there was no need to worry about it.

Not everyone can be like the Queen Mother, who can resolutely let his mother's family and her mother-in-law's family drift apart.

"This ...... How many people died outside? A minister's wife patted her chest, and her face was as frightened as gold paper.

"When there are many deaths, we will be safe." Zhang Shaoguang looked at her with a smile, "Thinking of so many people hiding in this Wu Fort, the mourning family can't even sleep peacefully." ”

It's good that they're all dead, Jiang Daoqi did a good job.

These people are the murderers who forced her husband and son to death, and they are already cheap without a thousand cuts.

"Xinniang, you don't seem to be afraid?" Zhang Shaoguang looked at the girl next to him with interest, this girl was Jiang Daoqi's niece Jiang Qingxin. Now she was looking at the room with her eyes wide open, curiously looking at the expressions of the people in the room.

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, she shook her head.

"With so many soldiers waiting outside the house, we are safe now. If it's not safe, it's useless to be afraid. "The voice of the Jiang family's mother is very stable." We just have to wait for the final result. ”

"It's a calm and cautious child, just like your father." Zhang Shaoguang looked at Jiang Qingxin with a smile, as if he saw the shadow of his past.

When the Hu people broke the city and she was escorted by her family to Uncle Jinyang's house, she also thought so.

What's the use of being afraid? Fear will only make the situation worse.

Although this woman is good, she is not the best candidate for the queen.

Her youngest son is the most lazy, the kind of child who doesn't push and doesn't move, and has no ambition for power. Now that Da Chu needs him, he naturally doesn't dare to slack off for a day, but when the world is calm, he will definitely be lazy to the point where he can't bear to look at him directly.

She can manage him for a while, but not for a lifetime.

What Chu Chengping needs is a resolute and decisive queen to supervise him, support him, and help him, not a calm and calm person who is always in his duty.

Chu Rui needed such a wife, so he married himself.

Her eldest son also needs such a wife, so the forbearant Jiang Qingling of the Jiang family is also suitable.

Because they are all too impatient.

It's just not the time to think about this, just wait and see.

The killing of Jiang's Wubao continued for a day and a night, and it was not until the evening of the next day that it was announced that all the hidden thieves had been wiped out. There was a smell of rust in the air that could not disappear, and many servants of the Jiang family cleaned up everywhere with basins or buckets, wiping walls, wiping columns, and cleaning the ground, and they were not idle for a moment.

The subordinate officials of the Duke of Jin galloped away on horseback and went to Pengcheng first to deliver the good news, while the subordinate officials of the Duke of Jin and his party discussed for a while, and respectfully invited the Queen Mother to live in the Wuzhou Mansion in Qiantang.

After a slaughter, Jiang's Wu Fort was no longer suitable to meet the emperor.

And the young emperor came to Wuzhou, must be to meet the local clan, the Jiang family did not stand in line before, and asked the emperor to come to the Jiang family's Wubao to meet the queen mother, there is a negotiating intention, now that the Jiang family has clearly shown the appearance of returning to the Great Chu, it is natural how to make the young emperor feel comfortable how to come.

This is not the time to be arrogant.

Speaking of Jingnan's side, Li Rui and Li Mei rescued the three princes, and arrested the king of Xiangcheng and others, which can be described as a spring breeze, and returned to Pengcheng with a glorious face.

The powerful clans of Jingnan who "followed the dragon" together with the government soldiers of Jiangling and Li Rui's 1,000 forbidden troops escorted King Xiangcheng and others back to Chang'an. King Xiangcheng would be interrogated at the Dali Temple in Chang'an, and then disposed of after the first three divisions of the palace were tried.

The family Haoqiang of Conglong was specially sent to Beijing to wait for the reward because of his meritorious service in rescuing the three princes.

The three princes were escorted back to Pengcheng together. Li Mei didn't let Pingping's brother see his true identity, and the third prince kept riding in the carriage, while Li Mei insisted on riding a horse by himself, so he avoided many opportunities to be in the same room.

But they also saw that the third prince had doubts about Li Mei. After all, he has been in contact with the little prince more than others, and he can be the first to notice some differences.

But the character of the third prince dictates that even if he knows, he will not say anything.

When I returned to Pengcheng, I changed into the men's clothes on the □, and I almost couldn't wait to see Pingping.

Chu Chengping was anxiously waiting in front of the Wei family's mansion.

Li Mei ran forward in three steps and five steps, smiling extraordinarily brightly.

"Pingping, I'll help you catch the bad guys who killed the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince."

The kiss in the dream and the kiss in front of him overlapped strangely, so that Chu Chengping didn't know if he was in illusion or reality.

It's good for you to come back. ”

"Huh? What about grandma? ”

Li Mei looked left and right, but did not find Gu Qing's figure.

"The Taoist sect of Longhu Mountain came, and Taifu Qi led them to meet me, and the fairy aunt saw one of the Taoist priests named Zhang Xuan, so she followed them." Chu Chengping showed a somewhat regretful look.

Li Mei twisted her eyebrows. "Is Brother Zhang Xuan looking for it? Didn't Mrs. Qi say that we won't let you see outsiders if we don't come back! ”

"Because my father's Emperor Xuanji Heavenly Master is here. Pengcheng is not far from the road where Longhu Mountain is located. Xuanji Heavenly Master said that when they saw the 'Emperor Star Returning to the Throne', they followed the emperor's breath to come and visit, and they were all disciples of the Heavenly Master's Dao, so Taifu Qi asked them to bow from afar in the main courtyard. ”

"They came to Grandma."

"Grandma said that Zhang Xuan said that she was in danger of going down to earth this time, and what stars were going to be extinguished, and she couldn't go back if she didn't go back. So grandma had no choice but to go with them. ”

"Is the heavens going to summon the fairy grandmother back?"

"Maybe."

Li Mei's good mood was shattered all of a sudden.

Chu Chengping shook his kiss's hand.

"Aunt Fairy said that she would come to us as long as she had the opportunity. She wants us to be well, not to quarrel, and to love each other. Chu Chengping shook her hand and said.

"Aunt Fairy is gone, you still have me."

Immortal Gu Qing was taken away by the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain in some way, but the life of the two children still had to go on.

At least those who knew about Longhu Mountain had a way to contact Gu Qing, and they finally had some thoughts in their hearts.

The situation of three points in the world was easily resolved, and Chu Chengping's trip to Beijing was as smooth as heaven's help, and he even used Li Mei's divine power to subdue the loyalty of the Qian people.

The young emperor, who set off again with the guard of honor, finally arrived in Qiantang and picked up his mother in Qiantang.

Zhang Shaoguang looked at his son in a dragon robe, and then thought of the former emperor and the prince who died incomparably, and couldn't help but feel sad, the moment the mother and son met, they both hugged their heads and cried.

One became a mourner, and the other became a widow.

Fortunately, at least they are alive.

For such a long time, the attendants who had never seen the Queen Mother shed a single tear couldn't help but cry.

In this situation, the mother and son reunite after the catastrophe, which is always touching.

Because Chang'an still had Li Mao and other hundred officials waiting for the young emperor to return to Beijing, the matter of Jingnan and Qiantang was delayed for more than half a month, and the Beijing repeatedly urged, and the young emperor's team did not take long to embark on the journey back to Beijing.

Jiang Daoqi entered Beijing with a crime, and the Duke of Jin Guo, as a meritorious minister, returned to Beijing together. The soldiers of the 3,000 cavalry battalion finally did not tarnish the reputation of the Chinese army, and put on the most neat military appearance to protect the monarch and go north.

Since he has no worries about returning to Chang'an, Zhang Shaoguang has not traveled to Dachu for many years, so he can take this opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the south along the way.

Regarding the Li family's arrangement, Zhang Shaoguang had no objections. In fact, she also thought that the emperor's decision to have a stand-in when he went out was right, after all, Chu Chengping was still young and had no power to protect himself, and if he really wanted to meet assassins, not everyone had a Li Meng to save his life like the previous emperor.

It's just that Li Mei is a girl, so Zhang Shaoguang will be mistaken, thinking that Li Mao is also the same as the Jiangnan family, hoping to get some kind of guarantee through his in-laws.

After all, the current situation in the court is no longer the situation when the emperor was alive.

Zhang Shaoguang is the kind of person who thinks about the big picture first. At this time, Da Chu needs the Xinguo Mansion more than the Jin Guogong, and she doesn't know the situation in Beijing, so naturally she won't rashly show any emotions, but just want her son and Li Mei to still maintain the situation of swapping identities, and then reward Li Mei when she returns to Beijing.

The attitude shown by the Queen Mother made Qi Shao and Li Rui breathe a sigh of relief.

As Qi Shao said, all the ministers in Beijing hope that Li Mao's daughter can marry into the palace.

In the car, Pingping and his relatives were arguing.

"You caught that little girl's cat yesterday!" Chu Chengping's face was full of "I'm not happy".

"You actually uprooted that tree just to catch a cat for her!"

What's so good about that little girl, she cries at every turn!

"I can't climb trees. Besides, it's just a tiny tree. Qinqin obviously missed the point, "There is a reason for the incident, and I will not be blamed by the Taifu for pulling out the tree." ”

If the Queen Mother hadn't inexplicably told her to take these little girls to have fun, she wouldn't have coaxed them so much.

"It's not the tree's problem!" Chu Chengping's little face flushed. "Ever since the little girls around the queen mother came, you stopped playing with me when you rested everywhere! They've all talked to them! ”

"But they think I'm 'you'." Qinqin rolled her eyes, "Besides, didn't the Queen Mother say it, it's the father of those big girls in the south who wants us to 'get along in harmony', it's not that I want to get along without getting along!" ”

"Then I should get along with them!"

"But I don't want to." Kiss stared.

Pingping looks much better than them!

Pingping wants to play with these little girls, and she always feels how uncomfortable she is to put a white peacock in a group of little hens.

Hearing the words of the kiss, the little emperor was strangely cured.

"Oh, you don't want to." Chu Chengping nodded stupidly. "Then forget it. Or are you playing with them......"

"So you see, I'm sacrificing a lot, okay...... So many girls are chattering around me, arguing to death, and it's still comfortable to play with you. ”

Li Mei, who was disliked and not beautiful as a girl, won all kinds of favors from the young ladies of the Jiangnan clan as a "boy", and even became jealous for her.

Except for one of the little girls surnamed Zhu, the other little girls are all fighting openly and secretly. Kiss likes to take care of the weak, and because the weakest little girl has the same surname as herself, she can't help but take care of her a little more, which makes Ping Ping eat all the time, and even almost pushes the little lady of the Gu family.

Yesterday, the little lady of the Gu family found a kitten in the tree in the garden of the palace and couldn't get down, so she hoped that the "little emperor" who was visiting the garden with them could find a guard to save the cat.

Li Mei was impatient to find someone, and he couldn't climb the tree, so he simply walked to the edge of the tree and put down the bowl-sized dwarf tree at once, and got the kitten down.

She showed this divine power, and the little girls were even more shocked, and they regarded her as a hero.

Soon it was Pengcheng again.

Because Chu Chengping was really comfortable living in the Wei Mansion in Pengcheng, the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother continued to live in the Wei Mansion when they returned to Beijing, and they rested for a few more days.

If you are in a hurry all the time, you will inevitably feel unwell.

Today's weather is very good, the Queen Mother is interested in swimming in the lake, Qi Shao and Li Rui and others arranged a painting boat, so that the Queen Mother and her party can get on the boat to visit the lake.

Several families in Jiangnan left a total of five girls to accompany the Queen Mother. Because the Queen Mother saw her son almost every day on the way home, and the female dependents accompanying the family also hinted that the Queen Mother had better create more opportunities for her daughter to "get along", the Queen Mother quickly responded.

Zhang Shaoguang hated people and threats the most in his life. These people coerced her to come to Jiangnan, she endured it for the sake of the overall situation, and at this time she regarded her son as the object of "harmony", urging it to happen as soon as possible, and she couldn't help but be angry and made a decision.

She asked Li Mei, who was a stand-in, to play with these girls in her free time instead of her son.

Don't you want to "get along"? Then I'll give you an "emperor" to get along with.

My son still has to study and deal with political affairs, but he doesn't have so much spare time!

The author has something to say: Zhang Xuan appears in the next chapter, and Gu Qing goes home.
