Chapter 190: Fate
A battle never began.
It can also be said that it was just about to start, and it was strangled in the cradle.
In the end, Chen and the party decided to return to the dynasty.
In order to take care of face, Chen Xian led the army to tour the area south of the Yangtze River, which can be regarded as the emperor's tour, learned about the customs and customs of many places, punished and dismissed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and unearthed some talented people from the people. blocked the mouths of the people and won the hearts of the people!
And Li Yuanxu also got rid of a group of bandits and bandits on the border of the three countries and in the territory of the party.
Mingyue Tower.
Xiao Mingyue was teasing the two budgies in the cage, "The two of them are really getting more and more able to eat!" Caiwei, go get some more berries!"
"Yes, County Lord!" Cai Wei replied.
Qingwen was taking care of the little palace maids and the eunuchs to sweep the courtyard, it was the hot summer, and the hot people were panicking.
turned around and said to Xiao Mingyue with a smile: "County Lord, you are the most spoiled by them, these two budgies are really blessed." When the county lord was away at home before, His Majesty took good care of him!"
"No wonder, when I came back, I felt that the two of them were fatter than before!" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but say with a smile.
As they spoke, Amber and Yunzhu came back with the moon silver and some ice cubes to cool off.
Seeing Xiao Mingyue sitting under the peach blossom tree enjoying the coolness, she hurriedly went over and said, "Miss, I heard the people from the Internal Affairs Office say, 'Your Majesty is coming back!', I heard that it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest!" Wouldn't Miss be well prepared? "
"Prepare what? The wine and food, the singing and dancing of the warblers are not what His Majesty wants, and maybe they will annoy His Majesty. Well...... You go and prepare more osmanthus flowers, and I'll make more osmanthus cakes! There is also a newly brewed 'peach blossom drunk', I hope it can relieve his boredom!" Xiao Mingyue said.
Amber nodded and wrote it down, and said with relief to Xiao Mingyue: "Miss, don't worry too much, Your Majesty's heart for Miss is rotten." Even if you know the facts, you will be considerate of Miss, and you will never blame Miss!"
Xiao Mingyue immediately said: "Sometimes I wish he blamed me, so that I won't feel guilty!"
"Miss, you are thinking about Your Majesty!"
"Maybe he doesn't want this kind of 'consideration' at all."
"Miss......"
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Go and put the ice cubes away! Otherwise, it will all be white in a moment. "
In order to welcome the emperor back to the palace, the Chen Palace was well prepared up and down, neatly arranged, and the long street was spotlessly cleaned.
Yuxiu Palace.
Zhen Miaoxia was naturally ecstatic when she heard that the emperor was going back to the palace.
Thinking of the past when the emperor was in the palace, even if he was cold and didn't like himself, he could come to look at himself every once in a while. Although the most common thing is to blame, it is also undesirable for oneself, which is a luxury.
During the period when the emperor went on the expedition, he could only stay in the palace alone, neither being welcomed nor going out of the palace, and he was very depressed in his heart.
Then he had the heart to dress up, and instructed the palace maid Erxi: "Quickly dress up the palace, and bring another gorgeous dress, preferably peach-pink!" Your Majesty's message is back, and this palace can finally see Your Majesty!"
The palace maid Erxi said with a smile while dressing up as Concubine Zhen: "Yes! Niangniang is looking forward to His Majesty, and she is already looking forward to it, and now it's okay. When Your Majesty returns to the palace, Niangniang will be happy!"
Zhen Miaoxia listened to Erxi's words, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Erxi, what did you just say?!"
Erxi was originally arranged by Xiao Mingyue to Yuxiu Palace, a palace maid who specially dressed Zhen Miaoxia, who was neat on weekdays, diligent and capable, and had an extremely straightforward personality.
Because he entered the palace for the first time, he had no money to take care of the grandmother, so he was sent to wash the clothes of the eunuchs.
I often hear people say that Zhen Miaoxia's temperament and temperament, although since Shiqi was kicked out of the palace, Zhen Miaoxia is no longer the same as before, but it also makes the palace maids and eunuchs afraid of her, for fear that she will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and end up like Wangqing!
Erxi then hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and pleaded: "Niangniang, the slave maid said the wrong thing, which made the maid unhappy, and I hope that the maid will forgive her sins and spare the slave maid!"
Since Zhen Miaoxia entered the palace, she was punished by the emperor, and her personal maid betrayed her, although her temper has not been completely corrected, she no longer dares to be as rude and willful as before, beating and scolding her subordinates.
Seeing Erxi like this, thinking that if it was passed out, it would be equivalent to adding a stigma to himself, and His Majesty returned to the palace, and after learning about it, if he put himself into the cold palace, then his life would be over!
So he hurriedly helped Erxi up, and said with a pleasant face: "Erxi, what are you doing here?" When I said I blamed you, I scared you like this! It's all bad in this palace, and this palace will compensate you!"
"Mother, slaves don't dare!" Erxi was a little panicked and a little flattered.
Later, Zhen Miaoxia instructed the little eunuch to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and bring some ointment for Erxi to treat bruises.
told the second preference to rest, and rewarded her with a few taels of silver.
The rest of the palace maids and eunuchs in Yuxiu Palace were very surprised when they saw it, and one of the little eunuchs who was sweeping the courtyard said: "How can I see, our master has not been quite right recently!" I rarely lose my temper, I heard that Erxi said the wrong thing, and instead of being blamed, he was rewarded!"
Another eunuch in charge also said, "Yes! It's not the same as it used to be!"
Cuihua, a palace maid who specializes in washing clothes, looked at it and said, "You want me to see it!" There are only two possibilities, one is to make it for His Majesty to see; The other is ...... We've changed!"
The eunuch who swept the courtyard said: "If it really changes, it is thanks to the county lord that the black-hearted and bad Shiqi was expelled from the palace!"
"Yes! Now our days are going to be better!"
…………
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the emperor returned to Beijing.
The Chen Palace had already been prepared, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also lined up neatly to greet the emperor at the gate tower of the national capital.
Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are accustomed to being stable, and they are mostly in peace and not in the main battle, and when they see that this battle cannot be won, they are naturally secretly happy.
The rest of the main battle faction also learned about what was happening on the front line, and in their hearts
Although we regret it, we can only face the facts.
After all, the emperor personally conscripted, and at this time, the most unhappy person in his heart was the emperor.
Therefore, everyone was smiling, divided into two columns, and waited at the gate of the city.
The people in the city were most ecstatic, and they were all glad that the countries had not been able to go to war, and that their sons and brothers would be able to return safe and sound.
As a result, almost every family with soldiers in front of the door was decorated with lights, killing chickens and sheep to celebrate.
Zhu Long, the general of the cavalry, couldn't help but say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we have come back all the way, and the people are all happy!"
Chen Xian rode on his horse and said to Zhu Long, "Yes! Originally, the people didn't like to fight, so they celebrated. This has always been the case with the people. Along the way, the widow has been wondering if the widow is wrong, those bad omen may be a wake-up call for the widow!"
Zhu Long said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is wise! But no matter what, Your Majesty is always the desire of the people! Deeply loved by the people!"
After hearing this, Chen Xian waved his hand, "Okay, you don't want to flatter the widow!"
At this time, the general defending the city came to the emperor's army quickly, and then dismounted and bowed and said: "Minister Zhang Liang, meet Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for Your Majesty at the city gate! Lord Yushi instructed the ministers to come and greet Your Majesty first!"
"Okay, the widow knows, you lead the way!"
The army marched mightily towards the imperial city, and saw the ministers and the people come out to pay their respects and welcome them.
It was even more exciting than winning the battle and returning triumphantly.
The ministers welcomed back to the emperor, and the people of the ancestral hall prepared a reception banquet in advance, because they did not dare to be extravagant and wasteful, nor did they dare to extravagantly waste, so it was reasonable to prepare with moderation.
The ministers couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions, so they didn't dare to say anything, and everything was at a glance.
During the banquet, he talked about the cooperation with the king of the party.
A few ministers couldn't help but be displeased, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the party king.
Chen Xian said loudly: "This attack on Wei is to let them occupy the time and place, and Li Yuanxu is harboring evil intentions, it is the heavens that are helping the Northern Wei Dynasty and helping Yu Wendi!"
Zhu Yushi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although we failed to successfully attack the Northern Wei Dynasty. But His Majesty has traveled all over the world and won the hearts of all the people, which is a great joy!"
So the other ministers also chimed in, admiring and flattering the emperor.
After a long time, the banquet was almost over, and Chen Xian said: "During the period when the widow is away, Zhu Yushi and Lu Taifu have a good way to supervise the country, and they should be rewarded!" And some ministers, who are dissolute, behave in a way that is out of grace, and what ridiculous things they have done, the widow also knows, and they will also be punished accordingly!"
Shen Ji, Li Ninghai, and Meng Tang at the bottom already had ghosts in their hearts, and when they heard the emperor say this, they couldn't help but be frightened and trembling a little.
One of them is lustful, one loves money, and the other loves to show off power, and during this time, they secretly did some shady things.
But the people in the procuratorate are also not vegetarians, and they already have evidence in hand.
Chen Xian was thinking about Xiao Mingyue, so he left the banquet early.
Xiao Mingyue naturally made Chen Xian's favorite pastries, candied fruits, fruit wine, and tea, waiting for Chen Xian's arrival.
"County Lord, Your Majesty is here, the slave and maid are watching from afar, and even Gonggong Zhao is not following!" Yunzhu ran into the house and said.
"Your Majesty must be thinking about the county lord in his heart, and we should leave in a while. Let the county lord and His Majesty be alone!" Qingwen looked at a few people and said.
"You don't have to leave, just stay here, no one dislikes you!" Xiao Mingyue said busily.
Cai Wei brought over a small basin of ice cubes, ready to cool off for the county lord and His Majesty, and said with a smile: The county lord naturally won't dislike us as an eyesore, but Your Majesty can't say for sure......"
"Who's talking about widows?!
As soon as the words fell, Chen Xian stepped in.
"The slave and maid visit Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" Cai Wei hurriedly saluted and said.
"Get up! You are the county lord's person, and the widow will not dare to blame you easily!" Chen Xian said with a smile.
"Alright, go and bring the bird's nest pears stewed in the kitchen!" Xiao Mingyue commanded.
"During the time the widow left, you lost weight!" Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue and said.
"Your Majesty has also lost weight!" Xiao Mingyue said the same.
