79. Daming Palace in the dark night
It was getting dark, and the time of night came.
Zheng Wen stood in the Daming Palace, looking at the thousands of lights rising in the majestic palace, and he was full of emotion for a while!
Two months ago, he was still a carefree lowercase, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would become the emperor of the Great Dynasty, leading the rise and fall of this dynasty, holding the power of life and death of thousands of people, and he felt a little unreal for a while!
Sometimes, Zheng Wen also wonders, could this be a dream, waking up from the dream and everything is back to the same, but falling asleep again and again, after waking up, he is still the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, the lame, the emperor who can make thousands of people prostrate at his feet!
Emperor, emperor, this supreme position, this position of power to do whatever you want, this position of power to kill and kill, people can't stop, Zheng Wen himself doesn't know if he can keep his heart, will he be lost in power!
Zheng Wen looked at the black night and tried to pull his thoughts back to reality.
At this time, a woman dressed in white with long black hair was coming towards Zheng Wen with a tray, and this person was Li Ying'er, who had become a woman.
She approached, approached Zheng Wen, put the tray on the table, and then said to Zheng Wen with a smile: "Your Majesty, drink some soup!" ”
Zheng Wen looked at the smiling face of the beauty, smiled, didn't answer, took the soup directly, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Yes, Ying'er's craftsmanship has grown again, I am very satisfied!" ”
Li Ying'er smiled, glanced at Zheng Wen coquettishly, and then said again: "Your Majesty is making fun of the concubine again, but Your Majesty's words are like to be listened to!" ”
Zheng Wen took another sip of soup before he spoke: "Oh, what is Ying'er doing today?" Speak up and tell me. ”
"Your Majesty, what can you do? Isn't it just practicing martial arts, reading books, packing up the dowry of the concubines, stewing soup, and serving it to Your Majesty, the concubines are still very satisfied! Li Ying'er looked at Zheng Wen and said affectionately.
Zheng Wen listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, the palace is like this, it's a little boring, wait for the next year, I make time, I will take you to Jiangnan to have a look, how about it?" ”
"Really? Your Majesty, you're not going to make your concubines happy, are you? Li Ying'er said with some surprise.
"How so? I must go to this Jiangnan, you, I'll take you with me! Zheng Wenman nodded seriously and said truthfully.
When Li Ying'er heard this, she was immediately deflated, glanced at Zheng Wen with disgust, and then said, "Your Majesty, why are you like this?" Won't you coax the concubines? Why tell the truth! ”
Zheng Wen was a little speechless when he heard this, could this be the reason why Zheng Wen couldn't find a girlfriend in the later life, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed!
Fang Cai changed the topic and said, "Ying'er, what do you say about this Jiangnan?" I have been out of the capital once in my life, and I have never been to this Jiangnan. I heard that this Jiangnan is very prosperous and beautiful! ”
"The charm of the ancient capital of Jinling, the ten-mile fireworks of Yangzhou, the West Lake of Hangzhou, and the Qiantang tide of the Qiantang River, these are all very beautiful, so that I listened to it, and I was also fascinated! Ying'er, have you been to any of these places? ”
When Li Ying'er heard this, she immediately became interested, so she said with a smile: "These places, except for Qiantangchao, I have never seen them, and the concubines in other places have been there, and they are not as beautiful as Your Majesty imagined!" ”
"Jinling is a little better, the small people here are still living well, Yangzhou and Hangzhou are rich in silk, so there is very little grain in these two places, most people are engaged in sericulture breeding, and they are very oppressed by the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are not easy to live."
When Zheng Wen heard this, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after a long time, he sighed before he spoke: "It will be fine, I have already sent the minister headed by Liu Jian to go to the south of the Yangtze River, these filths will be swept away, and the bitterness will come willingly, no matter how thick the clouds are, they can't cover the light of the sun, everything will be fine!" ”
When Li Ying'er heard this, her eyes were red, and she said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, do you say my father is okay?" ”
When Zheng Wen saw it, he suddenly had a headache, why did he mention this, he wasn't asking for trouble, so he had to comfort: "Ying'er doesn't have to be too sad, General Li is a smart man, loyal and courageous, all of this is his own choice, you have to live every day happily, so as to be worthy of his efforts." Zheng Wen said a little against his will.
When Li Ying'er heard this, she suddenly threw herself into Zheng Wen's arms, put her head on Zheng Wen's chest, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, you will be the only concubine soon!" Then she began to weep.
Zheng Wen hugged Li Ying'er's delicate body, smelled the fragrance on her body, patted her back gently, and said with some sighs: "Ying'er, you are okay, you have a father who loves you, in my life, before becoming the emperor, there is only one person who is the best for me, that is, my nurse, who raised my milk to the age of six, and then left the palace, I still don't know her name, and I have almost forgotten her face." "Zheng Wen is talking about everything in the original body.
"My life can be regarded as miserable, I was born lame, my mother was mourned when I was born, when I was ten years old, I didn't know what my father looked like, and the eunuchs and palace maids who took care of me didn't know how many times they changed in the past eighteen years, and my whole life was grown up in loneliness!"
"But people, always have to cheer themselves up, try to laugh happily every day, God always loves a person who works hard, I'm not like this, a cripple, I still became the emperor of the great Qian!"
"So, don't complain, don't be sad, work hard to live, and laugh every day, is what a person should do!"
Zheng Wen tried his best to comfort Li Ying'er, in fact, these words were not said to himself, a soul from another world, after becoming the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, the difficulties encountered were difficult for anyone to imagine, everyone only saw his ease, but how could anyone have thought that when he first ascended the throne, he couldn't sleep all night, lying on the bed, hiding in the quilt, trembling with fear, falling asleep several times, and being awakened by nightmares, dreaming of many ways to die, so frightened that he dared to cry secretly.
Therefore, after Zheng Wen became the emperor, he worked very hard, both openly and secretly, he did a lot of things, and gradually he gradually controlled the military power and the court situation, and everyone could not imagine his secret efforts!
So what Zheng Wen said was not so much to Li Ying'er, but to say that it was said to himself, try to encourage himself, laugh every day, not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of the sky!
Li Ying'er listened, moved her little head, arched Zheng Wen's chest, and then poked her head out, looked at Zheng Wen's handsome face, and after a long time, she whispered: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to have such a difficult time, you are usually so confident, so confident, even the rebellion of the King of Song, you don't even frown, those ministers see you, they think twice when they speak, and they don't even dare to look directly at you!" ”
Zheng Wen listened, but he smiled, hugged Li Ying'er's delicate body again, and said: "Okay, don't be sad anymore, live every day well, and treat life with confidence, Fang is the right way!" ”
Li Ying'er listened, and was in Zheng Wen's arms for a long time, before she left Zheng Wen's arms, tidied up her clothes, and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, the court will not give him some notoriety about the concubine's father's death, the concubine's father is a martial artist, and the most important thing is reputation, Your Majesty, please, you must not be like this!" Saying that, Li Ying'er still hugged Zheng Wen's hand and pressed it on her chest.
Zheng Wen immediately felt a burst of relief, eased up for a while, and then said with a smile: "Ying'er, don't worry, Liu Jian is a smart person, he knows what to do, the best treatment for your father after his death is not to investigate his guilt, everything ignores the past, and it is useless." As for what happened after his death, I will send the Jinyi Guard to do it, and bury it secretly, so that I don't have to worry that someone will rob the tomb to vent his anger, after all, he offended too many people during his lifetime, and he also offended too much to die, how about it? ”
Li Ying'er listened, nodded, and then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine will remember your goodness!" ”
……
At this time, Jinling is not far away.
Handan Marquis Lin Cang and his deputy Li Tong looked at the ancient city of Jinling from afar in the dark night under the firelight.
Their tens of thousands of troops hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at 30 miles from Jinling this evening, and the army set up camp.
At this time, Li Tong opened his mouth and said: "Old general, such a big thing has happened in Jinling, but Your Majesty has never sent any edict, it is terrifyingly calm, I am still a little uneasy in my heart, what do you say we should do?" ”
Lin Cang listened, but stared intently at Jinling City in the dark night, and said without looking back: "What else can I do?" Wait! ”
"Do you think Your Majesty and the court don't know all this, no, they know that this matter is a big deal for Jiangnan, but for Your Majesty and the court, it is not a big deal, and the influence of the local forces in Jiangnan can only revolve in this Jiangnan region after all, and the influence of the center at this time is very small, in the hearts of Your Majesty and the court, I am afraid that these Jiangnan forces will die!"
"For more than three hundred years, the local forces in the south of the Yangtze River have been suppressed by the forces of the Beidi scholars and the noble martial arts, and they have been shrunk in this Jiangnan region, until the past ten years, the local forces in the south of the Yangtze River have had such an impact on the center, Li Tong, why do you think this is?"
Li Tong was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Old general, I don't know. ”
When Lin Cang heard this, he turned his head, stared at Li Tong's eyes, smiled, and said: "Because our northerners have martial blood in their bones, this great cadre is the great cadre established by our northerners, and this is a martial country!" ”
"I think that at the beginning of the founding of the country, the armed forces were in the world, and the Liao people did not dare to go south in the first year of the founding of the country, and in another year, they swept away the princes of the Central Plains one after another, and the troops went straight down to the south of the Yangtze River to dominate the world!"
