Chapter 137: The Smoke of Gunfire (1)
Yan Qing and Zhou Xun hurriedly walked to the palace, this hurried pace made Yan Qing, who was a little older, couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, he held the military report in his hand tightly, anxious, eager to fly to Xiang Hongxuan immediately.
As soon as they walked into the Feiyu Palace, they saw Xiang Hongxuan and Xiang Hongxi brothers playing tea there, Xiang Hongxuan looked leisurely and complacent, Yan Qing frowned slightly, I heard that the white lady in the palace had a difficult birth, and both mother and child died, and Xiang Hongxuan was so weak that he was like no one, according to Yan Qing's understanding of Xiang Hongxuan, he couldn't help but feel bad, I am afraid that Xiang Hongxuan's heart has long been overflowing with grief at this moment. He couldn't help but move forward, looked down at the military newspaper in his hand, and became extremely melancholy.
Zhou Xun walked a few steps quickly, only to find that Yan Qing didn't know when he stopped, he turned back to Yan Qing's side, and whispered: "Right Xiang, what's wrong with you?" How to stop. ”
Yan Qing glanced at Zhou Xun, who was a little happy, lowered his head and sneered, Zhou Xun was anxious to go to Xiang Hongxuan, but unlike him, he was for the military report in his hand, and Zhou Xun was afraid that it was for Xiang Hongxi.
"This appearance is really useless, I only walked a few steps, and I was out of breath, I am afraid that when I meet Your Majesty, I will not have the strength to tell Your Majesty about the northern border, and I will be useless when I am old." Yan said lightly.
Zhou Xuncai didn't believe Yan Qing's rhetoric, he looked at the inner hall, Xiang Hongxi and Xiang Hongxuan chatted with Zhenghuan, he thought about the old fox in front of him, I'm afraid he didn't want to offend people.
"Since that's the case, then let the lower officials do the work for the right minister."
Saying that, Zhou Xun spread his hands respectfully and looked at Yan Qing with a smile, Yan Qing handed the general report to Zhou Xun's hand without hesitation, and whispered: "Then there is Lord Lao Zhou." After saying that, they walked quickly towards Xiang Hongxuan.
Xiang Hongxuan looked at the military report presented by Zhou Xun, suddenly got together, and roared angrily: "What are the Dongyu troops in the north doing? Beirong raided Dongyu last night, and was able to besiege Wu Chengping, is it because the Beirong people are too fierce, or is my Dongyu army too nesty? ”
Yan Qing and Zhou Xun immediately knelt on the ground, Xiang Hongxi couldn't help but get up and prostrate on the ground, Xiang Hongxuan was angry, if he could still hide his inner grief and helplessness perfectly in this chess game before, but this military report from the north was like a sharp thorn, piercing Xiang Hongxuan's fragile disguise.
"Your Majesty, over the years, King Beirong Zuoxian has been provoking at the border, and he has always sent money to women. This general Wu didn't expect that King Zuo Xian would really raise troops, so he was careless and besieged. ”
Zhou Xun's cold words made Xiang Hongxi break out in a cold sweat, if it was according to the meaning of Zhou Xun's words, that is, Xiang Hongxuan adopted his own suggestion back then, and it was wrong to negotiate peace with Beirong, which fueled the arrogance of the Beirong people, and also made Dongyu Army careless, so there is the current predicament.
Xiang Hongxi is aggrieved, does he want to do this? He just gave Xiang Hongxuan a compromise solution, and he didn't have Xiang Hongxuan's thoughts, how could there be so many bad things later, but unfortunately he has always been responsible for Xiang Hongxuan, whether it is down
Chess or something else. Xiang Hongxi didn't dare to raise his head, he honestly knelt on the ground and shut up quietly.
Xiang Hongxuan sat down paralyzed, he shook the military newspaper in his hand, countless possibilities flashed in his mind, he thought about it for a long time, and asked faintly: "Right Minister, how to solve the dilemma in the north now?" ”
"Your Majesty, the current plan is only to transfer troops from Pingcheng and the west to support the north, but the king of Lin'an has only returned to Yongcheng, and the chaos of the crown prince of Xihua does not know what it will become. It would be more prudent to transfer troops from Pingcheng, and Wu Juma had been on the border in the north for many years, and now he is the only one who is most suitable to lead troops north to fight against Beirong. Yan Qing said calmly.
Xiang Hongxuan bowed his head and was silent, Yan Qing was right, but if Wu Chengan left Pingcheng, then it would not be good to return to Pingcheng in the future. Moreover, Xue Pingchuan's foundation is shallow, and Jiang Wanfeng will really become a veritable king of Pingnan at that time.
Zhou Xun looked at Xiang Hongxuan's thoughts, he smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Pingnan had an unfortunate childbirth due to childbirth, and both mother and daughter died. King Pingnan is in the palace of the king of Pingnan in Yicheng at the moment, taking care of the affairs of Princess Pingnan, it is better to let the king of Pingnan take the recruits of the army department to the north to support, which is much more timely than the army and horses traveling thousands of miles from Pingcheng to rescue the north. ”
Xiang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, and immediately got up, his face couldn't help but show a smile, and said: "Yan'en, sure enough, you are thoughtful, the military situation is urgent, and it is too late to transfer troops from Pingcheng, so let King Pingnan go to put out the fire, I believe in the strength of King Pingnan, and I will not let me down, come here." ”
"Your Majesty, by all means." Yan Qing slammed his head on the ground, and a cry of grief interrupted Xiang Hongxuan's words, Yan Qing didn't raise his head, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the five men of the second generation of the Wu family have been on the battlefield in the north for decades, only the Wu family can deter the Beirong people, Beirong does not hesitate to besiege General Wu Chengping with heavy troops, does Your Majesty think that Beirong just thinks of Bingge?" King Zuo Xian of Beirong wanted to destroy the Wu family, and then fight with Dongyu. Zhongyi Hou has led all the horses in the north to save General Wu, if His Majesty let the king of Pingnan go to support the north at this moment, can not solve the difficulty of the north, only the Wu horse to the north, can deter the Beirong people, so that the Beirong dare not act rashly for a while, so as to ensure the peace of the north. ”
Xiang Hongxuan's heart struggled and entangled, he knew that Yan Qing was right, but he was reluctant to let Wu Chengan leave Pingcheng, and he didn't want to miss such an opportunity to let Jiang Wanfeng go to the north, if Jiang Wanfeng died on the battlefield in the north, then the Black Armor Army would be leaderless, and the Jiang family would not be troubled. Even if Jiang Wanfeng died in the north without a battle and won the battle against Beirong, it was also a blessing for Dongyu, Zhou Xun's suggestion was simply tailored to Xiang Hongxuan's suspicious heart, but now Yan Qing's face-to-face admonition made Xiang Hongxuan embarrassed.
"Right Minister, isn't it a military emergency now, Wu Juma is always far away from quenching his thirst, it just so happens that the king of Pingnan is in Yicheng, let the king of Pingnan go to the north first, and it is also up
The best policy, let's talk about the young hero of the king of Pingnan, when he destroyed Nanxi, he took the lead, if the king of Pingnan arrived in the north, he would definitely not lose to the martial horse, why should you be more serious in the martial arts family. Zhou Xun argued.
Yan Qing straightened his waist suddenly, he just thought that Zhou Xun was clever, and maybe there were some drill camps, but Zhou Xun was indeed a capable minister, although Zhou Xun was a southerner, but it was okay to reuse Zhou Xun to Hongxuan, but in recent years, Zhou Xun has become more and more disproportionate, in order to cater to the wishes, any moth dares to make trouble, Yan Qing's angry eyes glared at Zhou Xun, and said loudly: "Lord Zhou, you are a civil servant, and you were born in the south, where do you know the cruelty of the northern battlefield, as well as the ferocity of the Beirong people, you have never even been to the battlefield, Why confuse the emperor here, aren't you afraid of taking on the crime of bringing disaster to the country and the people? ”
Zhou Xun was taken aback, Yan Qing has always been an eight-sided exquisite tumbler, when Yan Qing could tear his face like this and reprimand his courtiers, and he was also a close minister of the emperor, Yan Qing in front of him was really angry, angry in front of the Son of Heaven, Zhou Xun couldn't help but be a little timid.
Yan Qing immediately took off the photo hat on his head, solemnly put it aside, and slammed it, and kowtowed to Xiang Hongxuan without hesitation. In an instant, Yan Qing's forehead oozed blood, he raised his head slightly, and begged: "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, think twice before acting." Since ancient times, fighting is to fight with momentum, the northern battlefield can not be guarded without the Wu family, if the Marquis of Zhongyi can not save General Wu Chengping, then the northern border is in danger, and the east is in danger. ”
The bright blood stain on Yan Qing's forehead was dangling in front of Xiang Hongxuan's eyes, and Xiang Hongxuan's heart was also shaken by this red, and he said slowly: "The military newspaper only said that General Wu Chengping was besieged, and it may not mean that Dongyu will lose to Beirong, loyal and brave, since he went to rescue General Wu Chengping, maybe this battle can be won a big victory, and the matter of transferring generals will be discussed later." ”
Xiang Hongxi raised his head slightly, he glanced at Yan Qing, who was a little disappointed, at this moment he felt a little sorry for this old minister, Yan Qing can be said to bow to Dongyu and died, and Yan Qing is Xiang Hongxuan's teacher, but Yan Qing is in front of Xiang Hongxuan, all the admonitions are bloody, but this is just such a result, Xiang Hongxi can't help but be curious, in Xiang Hongxuan's heart, which is more important?
...................................................................................................................
A small palace person in the imperial garden walked in a panic, and one was not careful, and he crashed into the arms of the person who came, and the palace person was startled, and it was Ling Xi who was coming, and she immediately knelt on the ground, and in the panic, a bag of herbs in her arms also rolled to the ground.
Aunt Yan supported Ling Xi's somewhat swaying body, and said sharply: "Bold palace people, such a reckless, if you hurt the queen mother, even if you die a few times, you will not be able to atone for your sins." ”
When the palace people heard Aunt Yan say this, they were frightened
You have to kowtow immediately and beg for mercy. Ling Xi glanced down at the medicine bag, her brows furrowed slightly, Aunt Yan picked up the medicine bag on the ground knowingly, a smell of medicine wafted in, and suddenly Aunt Yan's face was a little bad.
Ling Xi asked in a low voice, "Aunt Yan, what's wrong?" ”
Aunt Yan replied in a low voice in Ling Xi's ear: "Niangniang, the slave maid smells this medicine, a bit like Shunzi soup. ”
Ling Xi was stunned, she looked at the panicked little palace man on the ground, and asked, "Which palace are you from, how can you have this?" ”
Saying that, Ling Xi threw the herbs in Aunt Yan's hands in front of the palace people, and the palace people became even more afraid, and she said timidly: "The slave maid is the maidservant next to Shang Meiren, and this medicine is what Shang Meiren asked the slave to take." ”
"Shang Meiren? It's really bold, doesn't your master know that the palace concubine is contraceptive, is this the crime of extermination? Ling Xi lowered his voice a little and said.
"Niangniang spares her life, and Shang Meiren is also a last resort. And in the harem, it's not just Shang Meimei who is taking this avoidance soup, many ladies are also using it. ”
"The palace concubines are all taking it? Why? Ling Xi asked in surprise.
The palace people swallowed their saliva, settled down and said: "Everyone says that there is a curse in the harem, if anyone is pregnant, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the doom, before Mrs. Zhao, Zhu Meiren, Wei Meiren and later Mrs. Bai who died in childbirth, now the harem people are panicking, and the ladies are afraid that they will accidentally attract bad luck." ”
Ling Xi smiled bitterly, maybe the harem women not only have fame and fortune in their eyes, but at least they have self-knowledge. She glanced at the herbs on the ground again, and silently left the imperial garden.
