The 327th round: Return to the high mountain scenery
And the empress Xu Zhongqing, after giving birth to a son with Concubine Mu Chen the year before last, recently gave birth to a phoenix heir again, this time pregnant with the child of Concubine Zhu Qian. Now it is the early stage of pregnancy, and the empress is unwell, but at this time, she was violated by the South China Sea Kingdom, and the empress was exhausted by tossing. But no matter how difficult it is, the world of Dongliang still has to rely on her to stick to it.
Originally, the three princes were invited, and the male concubines of the harem were not allowed to be present. But the current situation is urgent, and Xu Zhongqing's body is still very weak, so Zhu Qian appeared in the palace. He crouched beside the Empress, waiting carefully.
When Zhu Zhichun panted and hurried to Ruixiang Palace, Prime Minister Li Xiangyang and Imperial Historian Yang Xiang had been waiting for a long time. When I saw my own Xiaolang, I finally became the queen's pillow person. Zhu Zhichun felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he didn't know if this child could lead their Zhu family down in the future. Zhu Qian bowed his head to Zhu Sleeve Chun, and looked at each other for a moment, expressing everything.
"Greetings to the Empress." Zhu Sleeve Chun was old, and Yang Xiang on the side was so busy that he reached out to help.
The empress made a weak voice on the couch: "Don't kneel down Zhu Lao, give Zhu Lao a seat." ”
The female history immediately moved an embroidery pier and asked Zhu Sleevechun to sit down. Zhu Zhichun sat down slowly, and said, "Empress Xie." ”
Yang Xiang and Li Xiangyang leaned slightly in the direction of Zhu Zhichun, and the empress opened her eyes half-open, and said, "Yan Tu and Yun have already opened up with them?" ”
"Back to the empress, General Yan and General Li have left, and Weichen is from the military camp." Zhu Zhichun's face became more and more ugly.
"Starting from Fengcheng, after fifteen days, can you reach Zecheng?"
"I can arrive on the fifteenth, but ......" Zhu Sleeve Chun paused, and his two hands clenched each other in his big sleeve, "I'm afraid that after arriving, the soldiers will be exhausted." ”
"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, the morale of the generals defending the city can be boosted, and the rest will be discussed in the long run." Li Xiangyang waved his hands forward and said to the empress, "Grain, grass, and baggage have already been prepared by me and Lord Yang, and we have set off with General Yan." ”
"Hmm." The empress nodded, and suddenly remembered that a few years ago, she personally went to Liangcheng to resist the invasion of Xizhou. The intention is quite profound: "If the people below dare to deduct the soldiers' salaries, they will be severely punished." ”
Li Xiangyang and Yang Xiang said in unison: "The minister obeys the order." ”
The empress's face was pale, and her majesty, which had always been high, was also very worrying because of the special period. She raised her finger and tapped on the desk in front of her, "The eight-hundred-mile express sent by General Xianran, you can take it and take a look." ”
"But, but that Xizhou child took the opportunity to invade my northwest border again?" Zhu Xianran was very anxious, she was really afraid that her worries would come true.
The empress didn't say anything, but when she saw Yang Xiang take a step forward, she respectfully took the express in her hand and presented it to Li Xiangyang and Zhu Zhichun to read. After reading it, Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Sleeve held the express tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this ...... That's really good news. ”
The empress's eyes were slightly cold, and she glanced at Li Xiangyang and Yang Xiang, "Do Prime Minister Li and Lord Liu think the same way?" ”
Li Xiangyang's heart trembled when she was forced by this chill, and she couldn't understand the empress's words anymore. But now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, where is the time to care about these. Although Xu Moqing is a "male streamer", he is the only prince in Dongliang who has been crowned a prince after all. Isn't his visit to Zecheng a better morale boost? As for Yan Guiwan's invitation...... She glanced at Yang Xiang and couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
Zhu Zhichun returned the urgent delivery to Yang Xiang, and Yang Xiang returned to the desk in front of the empress. She smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth and the Nine Horses have been away from Fengcheng for nearly two years, and I think they are used to being idle clouds and wild cranes. If it weren't for the fact that Zecheng was invaded by the South China Sea, I am afraid that they would have to continue to travel through the mountains and rivers. Now is the time for me to hire people in Dongliang, so Your Majesty will allow them. ”
When Xu Zhongqing received this urgent delivery, he was also shocked in his heart. In fact, she regretted letting Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan travel, at that time she had already sat firmly in the country, eradicated the remnants of the Nian family, weakened the power of the Li family, and eliminated Yan Guiwan from the Imperial Forest Army.
But this time, Nanhai was menacing, and she was pregnant again. Around her, except for the third daughter-in-law and a few henchmen of the Qian family, there is no one to talk to at length. If Xu Moqing was still there, she wouldn't be as worried as she is now. Thinking back to a few years ago, when she was still the third princess, for this high throne, her ninth brother, for her, did his best to prepare and do his best. But the result?
She thought that she would not be reluctant to let their wives go, but instead solved the trouble in her heart. But the more time it came to the reunion, the more it was the festive season, the more melancholy her heart became. The eldest sister died under her sword, the second sister and the fourth sister were sent to the fiefdom by her, and the eighth brother was even encircled by her, but Xu Moqing, who treated her sincerely, ended up with this fate. Yan Guiwan almost died in her conspiracy back then......
Now that Dongliang is in trouble, their wife still has a pure heart, and wants to go to Zecheng and go into battle to kill the enemy, she should agree. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Zhichun, "Old Zhu, I'm just worried about Yan Jiang's bones, I don't know if I have raised it in the past few years?" ”
After so long, who still remembers what Yan Guiwan did because of him? Who does not know in their hearts? If the empress wants to act, how can the ministers not act?
Is it Zhu Zhichun who doesn't know the inside, or Yang Xiang who doesn't know the inside? Only Li Xiangyang knew everything, but pretended not to know anything. The palace change in the past few years has made her a snake.
"I think it's almost raised, Lao Yan will be so powerful, her daughter will not be bad." Zhu Sleeve Chun seemed to pack a ticket, "What does Lord Yang think?" ”
"Your Majesty, in fact, there are already two young generals in their Yan family under General Xinran's account, and one of them has sacrificed his life for the country...... Yang Xiang said regretfully, "I think General Yan also wants to avenge his sister in his heart." ”
Seeing that Zhu Sleeve Chun and Yang Xiang were singing and harmonizing, Li Xiangyang could also understand it, and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, what Zhu Lao and Lord Yang said is extremely true. ”
The empress waved her hand, made up her mind, and said: "Lord Yang, let's make an order, let Yan Guiwan and Li Yunhe stand side by side, as Yan Di's lieutenant, repel the invasion of the South China Sea as soon as possible, and return triumphantly." She stroked the fetus in her womb, "Send someone to chase after the army, deliver the news to Yan Di as much as possible, and send the express to Zecheng urgently, so that General Xinran can also respond." ”
"Yes!"
The news that Yan Guiwan and Xu Moqing returned to the public eye spread far and wide, and within two days, the Mu family, the Li family, the Yang family, the Yan family, the harem, and the former dynasty ...... The whole Fengcheng has all known that His Royal Highness King Yongfeng and General Yan have re-emerged from the mountain, and the wives of the powerful court have returned in this way and rushed to Zecheng to resist the invasion of the enemy country and defend the mountains and rivers of Dongliang!
Yan Zeyin was still sad, and when he heard the news of the eldest sister and brother-in-law, he ran out, and the little stone couldn't hold the little master in his hand.
"Lord Ze, Lord Ze, slow down, Xiaopu and I can't catch up."
Yan Zeyin hurriedly jumped into the carriage, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go back to Yan's house this time, we have to stay for a little longer, we have to wait until my eldest sister and Sister Yun come back!" I don't know if he's crying or laughing, "My eldest sister who has no conscience, finally has a letter, it's good to have a letter!" ”
"Yes, yes, listen to Lord Ze." Xiao Shi settled around, "Your Highness and the evening lord finally have a letter, and when the battle in southern Xinjiang is over, they will come back with Lord Yun." ”
"Let's go, go back to our Guan Ju Pavilion!"
The group drove to Hanhe Street, but as soon as they arrived at the east of Hanhe Street, Yan Zeyin saw a carriage parked in front of his house. Two people got down from the carriage, but it was Mu Qin and Wang Qi.
"Qin Jun, Wang Sheng!" Yan Zeyin jumped off the horse and ran over the two of them.
When Wang Qi saw him, he smiled from ear to ear, "Brother Ze, Engong, they have news, Sister Qin and I knew about Xin'er, so we rushed over!" ”
Mu Qin was not as happy as Wang Qi laughed, she was naturally happy to know the news of Xu Moqing and Yan Guiwan, but when she thought that they were actually going straight to Zecheng, she couldn't help but sweat for them. But after all, it's a good thing, she has to take this little offspring to the Yan family. It was also a coincidence that I met this rabbit-like Yan Zeyin at the door.
"Sawaro." Mu Qin bowed and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Your Highness and Yan will go to Zecheng, presumably they can reunite with General Li, and they will definitely take care of each other when they are together." ”
"Yes, if Sister Yun knew that my eldest sister rushed to join her, let alone how happy she would be." Yan Zeyin smiled and shed two lines of tears, "I think they all returned safely." ”
"Yes, definitely." Mu Qin comforted him, stretched out his hand and stroked Wang Qi's waist, "This little descendant didn't know the dangers of Zecheng, and thought it was a good place, and yelled for me to take her to see Engong." ”
Yan Zeyin's eyebrows swept away, and this little detail was taken into his eyes. He looked at the two of them quietly, and burst into laughter: "Qin Jun, when did this happen?" ”
Mu Qin didn't avoid his gaze, and his smile deepened, "When His Royal Highness and General Yan and General Li return, I invite you to come to the mansion to drink the wedding wine, okay?" ”
"Okay!" Yan Zeyin was happy for Mu Qin from the bottom of his heart, his sister Qin finally found her own happiness.
Wang Qi's little face was flushed, but he was a little more dignified than when he saw him before, "I told Sister Qin that I would wait for Engong and them to come back." ”
Mu Qin got up from a low place, even if Mu Chen had become the most favored male concubine in the harem and the heir of the empress, she was still willing to accept Wang Qi's background, a lonely little life. Since he came to her by chance, and since they had feelings before, she was willing to marry him and be the person she could protect for the rest of her life.
The three of them walked into the courtyard of the Yan family as they spoke, thinking that the mansion should be very lively, but they never thought that Yang Xiang, who had always been low-key, actually came to the door of the Yan family. She was followed by Yang Liu and Yang Xiu, and everyone gathered in the hall of the central hall, happy and worried about the two of them.
"Your Highness and the evening have all the thoughts, and I am really happy for them. Since my eldest sister Yan Leran, my Yan family has been fighting for me Dongliang to kill the enemy. Qingying Qingbi is a good daughter of my family, and the same is true for Guiwan and Guilan. ”
"And my sister Yun!" Yan Zeyin pouted, "Isn't my sister Yun from our family?" ”
"Yes, yes, they are all good daughters of our Dongliang."
Yan Leshi's fingers were clasped in the corner of the table, and she would say if she was beautiful, but she really didn't want to lose her nephew's life. has made Yan Qingying die, she no longer wants Yan Gui to have an accident! At the same time, she understands that now is not the time to pay attention to a small family, the life of her Yan family's daughter is life, and the life of tens of thousands of soldiers is also life! If Dongliang is not peaceful, more people will shed blood and die. Beat away the South China Sea children as soon as possible, and return to a peaceful and prosperous world!
"What Mother Yan said is extremely true, those of us who have not been to the front line, we can only pray for them every day. When the Nanhai children are defeated, it will be the day they return to Fengcheng. Yang Xiang's words are sincere, this is the long-cherished wish of all Dongliang people!
