Yingying Shuinan, a few times in vain.

Ten years of dreams of fluttering butterflies, send indefinitely, go indefinitely.

By asking what is the interest when you come, the snow is difficult to eliminate, and the sky is the same.

Towering and vigorous, it is difficult to reach the night forever.

Thousands of sails and nine meet in the world, Zhao is fierce, and even more hesitant.

- "Beiming Epic: Empress Zhaolie's Words"

The moment when the ship sailed back to Beiming, it was April of another year, and the willows were new and green, the red flowers were faintly distant, and the fiery red flowers on Yushan Island were gorgeous and dazzling.

Last winter, the most exciting news was the success of the Beiming new warship launching experiment, although the Luo Wei yellow gunpowder that sold financial iron made this excitement slightly less, however, it is undeniable that the defeat of Luo Wei in Qingjing Changxia, Weiyu City, Qingzhou, and Dongdu, which fought on multiple fronts, swept away the original depressed atmosphere.

The extensive copper and iron minerals on the first line of Maishan in Xinyue Qingqing have radiated a new strength under the development of strong state-owned enterprises in Beiming.

However, at this time, Luo Wei still occupied Manchuria, Yangping, Yongping, and Zhuozhou in the fertile places northeast of Xinyue and fought frequently with the Xinyue army, while Beiming Xiami Island, Fengdao and Liudao were also still under the control of Luo Wei.

This update of soldiers and warships, etc., is also for the purpose of escorting caravans of retired naval warships, as well as assisting in the mission of cutting off the supply of merchant ships on the sea.

If there is no Guo Yuzhi who supervises the food and salary, if there is no Fu Shao who maneuvers trade to make all parties inside and outside the war win-win, if there is no Song Zhongfang who is busy with ordnance, if there are countless people who I don't know, but they are also working hard for this reason, how can they protect their families and defend the country?

After the mixed blessings and sorrows of the New Year in a hurry, all kinds of military affairs such as changing guards, guards, and equipment were calmly busy.

It wasn't until April that Qin Qing and I embarked on the return journey with Prince Jing.

However, shortly after the launch of the ship, under our astonished attention, Prince Jing came up with a secret decree, which clearly stated that Prince Jing and General Zhu and the new warships of the Nanyang Naval Division who came to meet them went south together to participate in the command of the war on Xia Mi and other islands, and only Qin Qiong and I were named to lead the return to Pengcheng.

"Why me?" I suddenly received the order, not knowing the holy will, so I had to ask Prince Jing in confusion, "However, the last general is willing to go with the prince and the generals to help fight the Chami Islands." ”

"Hahaha," Prince Jing grinned, his eyes were smiling, and he said with a rare humor, "General Fu thinks that the will of the imperial court is beating the mandarin ducks, if General Fu returns with General Qin Qing, it must be unwanted." ”

Although I am very thick-skinned, I am also a little embarrassed, after all, a soldier regards the love of children and daughters as so important, and there is nothing worthy of praise for the commander's investigation, but I still said again:

"It's just that the last general is willing to learn more things with the prince, and the last general wants to learn about water warfare, but the prince seems to feel that the last general is dull and sends the last general away."

"You-according to what you say, then General Qin Qiong is also the king who thinks it is reckless and sent away?" Prince Jing smiled again, patted his knees with both palms, sat down, pressed my shoulder with one hand, motioned for me to sit down too, and said to me:

"Well, I guess I don't want to make it clear to you, what do you have to think about more. It's not that this king thinks you're reckless, but after the court saw this battle report, it felt that you had more usability to make foreign envoys, and you couldn't grab your beard and eyebrows, and you would always be Fu Xianggong alone in everything he was doing to the outside world, right? ”

"Does the prince mean that the lord intends to let the last general learn the foreign affairs of the envoy with Fu Xianggong?" I wondered.

But I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, whether Beiming was worried that I, the old minister of Xinyue, had secretly learned their new warship technology, and I was a little confused at the moment.

"Well," said Prince Jing, "don't think about it, it's what my aunt meant, now that the two armies have achieved initial results in coordinated operations, it is natural to make the best use of people and materials." ”

"Eldest princess?" I now understood that I was probably going to be used to do some espionage in foreign affairs activities, so I didn't ask anymore, and nodded.

"You are still in trouble, don't look at how many soldiers envy you who can return to your hometown." Prince Jing comforted and encouraged me again, "Learning naval warfare will take a long time in the future, and it will not be at this moment or two." ”

We took the order and left.

Saying goodbye to Qin Qing is the last thing I want to face. Don't say I'm a sissy like this, how many people in the army aren't like that?

Fortunately, Qin Qing was born as a general, and he was already used to such things, but he was free and easy.

Before saying goodbye, I didn't forget to blow us men with eyebrows, saying that it was because she was more talented than us generals and could gallop on the battlefield, so I left her and let me and her brother go back to Beiming.

Qin Qiong and I were also choked by this little woman, and we could only laugh dotingly.

The return flight was very smooth, and we did not encounter any difficult obstacles, so we went back to our lives smoothly.

After turning from Lingdingyang to the Yangtze River, Qin Qiong and I looked out on the deck, the sun shined on the wide river surface in spring, sparkling and dazzling gilded waves, indescribably refreshing.

Then turn into the Ji River along the bank, not far away, then see a lotus pond that leads the water, this year Pengcheng warmth is very early, this season, although there is no lotus in the Pengyun Tianchi, but the lotus leaves have been pavilion like a cover, blowing the warm willow warm wind swept by, if a piece of green waves one after another.

When I arrived in Pengcheng, I felt even more spontaneous when I returned to the world.

Since Prince Jing and General Zhu had not yet returned, although most of the sailors and soldiers who went there for the first time had changed their guards, they did not hold a big welcome ceremony, and we were greeted by Wei Hao, the chief deacon of the legal affairs, and Qi Siyuan, the chief deacon of the commercial affairs.

Both of them were discovered and promoted by Fu Shao, this time they were only in their thirties, they were in the prime of life, both of them were wearing round-brimmed civil official cool hats, and the same color Kaga dyed blue narrow-sleeved spring robes, and the pattern on the cannon was also the same three-grade peacock supplement color, only each of them was covered with a different style of gauze cloak.

Wei Hao's skin is a little healthy wheat, with slender eyebrows, slender eyes, high nose and high cheeks, and clear lips and teeth; Qi Siyuan's face was like jade, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised when he lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes were dark and deep when he opened his eyes slightly.

The two of them came forward at the same time to salute each other, and Wei Hao took out Fang Juncheng's holy decree to reward the three armies.

Qin Qiong was ordered to go to Jiagu City to carry out the deployment of the old and new armies and the reconstruction of the escort team.

And because Qin Qing has not returned, although Fu Shao has already proposed marriage to General Qin for me, and General Qin Yi has also approved this family affair, he still has to wait for Qing'er to come back before he can talk about marriage, so I am quite helpless to be in the mood of a hero's shortness of breath and children's affection.

On the second day after returning to Pengcheng, a decree came from the palace, saying that the eldest princess was in charge of the matter.

The eldest princess was widowed in her early years, and the queen mother couldn't bear to be lonely outside, so she kept recalling her to live in the harem, and also gave advice to Fang Juncheng. So I respected the will, took the token, and entered the palace with the yellow-covered black brocade carriage led by the father-in-law who was accompanying me in the palace.

Because of my understanding in Xinyue when I was a child, I always thought that it was not easy for foreign ministers to enter the inner palace, which was a rule, but after entering the Beiming inner palace, I found that this was another world entirely.

After passing the two palace gates in the carriage, someone came to open the curtain, walked from the door to the Qixia Hall of the eldest princess, passed through the Yuantian Hall and Linfangtai, although in the inner courtyard of the same harem, but as Li Congshi said, each building and courtyard are independent, from the construction style to the floor and the square compartment are all distinctive.

Presumably, they are all completed by their own designs, and they are also their own daily management, and only on major festivals such as the Queen Mother's birthday, they gather in the Dream Butterfly Corridor of the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

Yuantian Hall is a platform for the Lord to sit and meditate on the top, and the platform is surrounded by white marble paved stairs, with two altar walls, forming the inner and outer towers.

The altar wall is round in the south and north, and it is in the shape of a square platform and a round tower to show the heaven and the round place, and there is an implication of the respect of the gods through the ghost, but because the ghost and the god are not pushed by the spirit of Beiming, it only stands in the southwest corner of the harem, and does not do the purpose of heavy sacrifice.

And Linfangtai is the fourth prince of the prince and the eighth prince of the prince Rui's mother concubine Pu Concubine Niangniang lived, raise the eyes to see, is one or two into the courtyard platform, and then look at it, but it is a four-way courtyard, there is a hall deconstruction in front, the east and west ear rooms have changed the passage, the main hall is five wide, the top of the yellow glazed tile mountain, the front and back corridors.

Look carefully at the shape of the eaves if Shi Dougong, the beam fang is decorated with Fan Ying color painting, the door of the 10,000-character brocade bottom is buckled with five bats holding the longevity skirt board partition door, and the window is a step by step brocade branch to pick the window, don't be a color style.

There are many foreign ministers in the entire harem who are ordered to come and go in a hurry, and there are also some talented people who are similar in color, such as women, Jieyu, and even concubines, all of them are embroidered in brocade and embroidered, and the jade reflects the golden enclosure, but they all come and go in a hurry, as if they have official business.

I thought to myself, although Beiming did not explicitly decree that women should not interfere in politics, it was always impossible for these women in the inner palace to interfere in political affairs, but they were busy with each other, which made me quite puzzled.

Who knew that the eunuch who came to announce the decree was really like the person next to the eldest princess, a crystal heart and glass person, looking at my face, he knew that I was confused, so he said to me gently:

"Those who come are not courtiers, but businessmen, these businessmen, all day long with the ladies to talk about some small business, let the ladies occasionally show their faces, publicize their goods or something, and then give back some small things,

There are also mothers who are quick-witted, and they also have small businesses to take care of, so they naturally don't shy away from those. Our lord is wise and chic, what a character, and he did not provoke the old husband and young wife, and the young woman who did not have true feelings entered the palace,

Therefore, it is natural to implement the national policy, so that the masters also have a reason to think, so as not to spend gold and silver in the inner palace and compete for favor and immortality. ”

Seeing that I couldn't help nodding my head again and again, the eunuch said, "But when it comes to national politics, our eldest princess, Qixia Palace, that is the first master of the inner palace, only the eldest princess, has this strategy, this ability, and this trust and grace, can manage the national government, and meet the courtiers in the inner palace."

But ah, our eldest princess is very measured, and the ministers who can usually be seen, hey, that is also very rare. ”

I hurriedly nodded again, and said in my heart That is natural, the eldest princess is such a smart and beautiful person, and she has been widowed for a long time, how can she not know what the wind is, so the spies used are mostly women, and the Phoenix Pavilion is nominally run by the mother and uncle of the fourth prince, in fact, all the spy women are the elite of the secret whistle girls' school in the hands of the eldest princess.

But even if you are so cautious, isn't there still a rumor about Wang Geng? It can be seen that the things that are commented on by the wind are also commented on by the wind, which is very unpredictable. In my heart, I thought all the way, but my face was very respectful, and I said again and again, "My father-in-law mentioned the point, and I haven't asked my father-in-law what to call it?" ”

"Our little Qizi," the father-in-law said with a gentle expression on his face:

"General Fu inside, please, the lord and the eldest princess are inside, waiting to summon the general."

Talking room has arrived at the Qixia Pavilion, there is a high platform Yongdao and the main hall in the Qixia wind door, the east and west sides of the courtyard are corridors, fold to the south and connect with each other, the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the pavilion is wide and seven rooms, five of which each open four double-crossed four rhombic flower doors.

Between the two ends are all brick walls, each open four double-crossed four rhombic flower sash windows, the front of the palace out of the platform, the front out of the three steps, the left and right each out of one order, the four Chen gilt copper incense burners on the platform are smoking.

"Father-in-law Qi is polite." I waved my hand slightly, and hesitated for a moment whether to take out the silver taels to give to this father-in-law, but after thinking about it again, Fang didn't do anything, so I saluted and entered the palace gate.

I saw Fang Juncheng sitting on a red wind wood official hat chair in the hall, and behind him was Xiufeng Jinping.

On the side of the side, there is a woman in palace clothes with a bright appearance, who seems to be smiling but not smiling, the autumn water is concentrating, the clear eyes are like the best glass quiet and clear, the skin is delicate and white snow jade, and the green smoke is cut into Luokou.

The maid standing next to her was wearing a green satin skirt and a goose yellow gauze robe, with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, standing respectfully.

So I hurriedly paid a visit and saluted: "The last general Fu Yannian, I have seen the lord, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I don't know if the last general is coming, what are your orders?" ”

Fang Juncheng and the eldest princess looked at each other and smiled, and the eldest princess stood up, took out an object from the cuffs of the golden thread, and said to me with a smile: "General, can you remember this thing?" ”

I took it with both hands, and saw that it was the broken sheepskin that **** gave to Wang Geng and asked him to explore the clues, so I replied, "The last general remembers, this thing is handed over to Wang Geng by the last general to help him figure out some clues." ”

"Where did this come from? You can tell us the truth. The eldest princess smiled.

"Yes, the last general didn't dare to hide it, this is what the last general went to Xinyue with Prince Ning and General Li to seek an alliance, General Yuwen Yong, the son of General Yu Wenfu, the chief general of Qingzhou in Xinyue, handed over to the last general to ponder.

However, General Yu Wenyong did not tell the last general where he came from, and the last general thought that it should be found from his defeated generals, so he did not ask in detail. ”

"This is an important thing," the eldest princess glanced at her and said, "Yu Wenyong gave me Beiming's favor, but I don't know how you asked them to help me Beiming?" ”

"The last general thinks that this is not just for my Beiming, and it is also a very favorable opportunity for Xinyue," I said respectfully, "At the moment of the great enemy, General Yu Wenyong should only have the same hatred for the enemy and be loyal to the country." ”

"All right," said the eldest princess, waving the sleeve of her robe, and Lisuo put away the sheepskin, "This thing is the details of the use of the strong yellow powder used in the Luo Wei army, and it is very useful, although it has been destroyed in half, but it must have been something that was grabbed desperately, and it is quite beneficial to our army."

In any case, General Yu Wenyong is friendly to me Beiming, and you have to make sure that he doesn't leak this thing when he gives you it. ”

"The last will understand." I clenched my fists and obeyed.

"Alright, bring people out," the eldest princess turned to Qi Gonggong.

Duke Qi received the order and came with a team of children from the corner gate.

There are about twenty people, those children are only of school age, but the boys are each wearing samurai-style hair, wearing Luowa-style robes and jackets, with small sleeves, all of them are black and feathered ribbons, and there are rice balls and samurai wooden swords hanging from their waists, which is full of Luowa's samurai home posture.

The girls wore white Kaga-dyed rakwa dresses and golden crowi hats. Father-in-law Qi slapped twice in a row, and the girls flicked their white sleeves and danced, elegant and sassy.

coughed lightly, and then walked out with small broken steps with clogs. The boys also performed a kendo stabbing technique, and Fang followed.

I still looked at it and guessed what mission was going to be given to me. But he heard Fang Juncheng say casually, "General Fu looks at these children, and when he goes with the general to envoy Luo Wei in the future, they can be used." ”

I was a little stunned when I heard it, but I didn't know where this envoy Luo Wei started, and I couldn't refute it, so I had to avoid that sentence, and only picked up the last half of the sentence: "The vision of the Lord and the eldest princess is excellent, and they will definitely be able to serve the country." ”

Fang Juncheng took out another full moon scimitar that was very similar to his full moon scimitar, and solemnly handed it to me, "I know that the general has always loved the scimitar, and promised the general to give him a weapon when he returns from completing the mission, but now, I have fulfilled it." He laughed.

When I looked, many of the designs of the handle were the same as the full moon scimitar on the Lord, but the words engraved were not the words on the Lord "Xiaolou listened to the spring rain all night", but "Thousands of miles with the king to fight and laugh", it really fit my heart, I was very happy, but I couldn't help but say:

"Although this is a treasure, but the gentleman does not take away the beauty of people, and the lord only promised to give the last general a weapon in hand, how can the last general collide with the lord's love knife, and the last general is terrified"

Who knew that the eldest princess actually stepped forward and took the knife, put it directly in my hand, and said, "What is there to pay attention to, the Lord wants to comfort the loyal ministers and good generals, you should be as good as the stream, and shirk the heavy responsibility of calling you down from the Lord's mouth?" After saying that, he smiled very heartily.

"I don't dare." I had no choice but to take the knife in a daze and say, "Thank you, Lord, I don't know what the Lord has sent?" The minister will never give up. ”

"This is not Lone's idea, but the meaning of Fu Xiang and the imperial sister," Fang Juncheng said:

"They are all because of this joint war with the sea and land of Vietnam, feel that you are quite talented in foreign affairs, and now at the time when Xinyue is willing to further cooperate with me in Beiming, Lone also thinks that Fu Xiang has all the opportunities and works very hard, and the general is the talent who presides over foreign affairs, so he should share his worries with Fu Xiang."

"This," I wanted to shirk, but when I saw the eldest princess shaking her head and smiling slightly, I didn't do anything else, and said, "The minister will definitely do his best to share the worries of the country." ”

But seeing Fang Juncheng and the eldest princess looking at each other and smiling again: "Recently, the envoy of Xinyue will come to discuss in detail the cooperation and cooperation between the two armies in the future

- It's just that what should be left must be left for me Beiming. You are wise, and you should know the mind of the Lord. ”

"Yes," I said respectfully, "the last will obey." ”

"If there is anything difficult to grasp, you can learn from Fu Xiang, or you can enter the imperial sister for instructions," Fang Juncheng pinched his brows with both hands, and then turned to me and said, "You can take this full moon scimitar inside, and the guards outside the palace will not ask more when they see this scimitar." ”

"Obey." I continued to look serious.

"Okay, Sister Song Guifei must be very eager to know about the battle ahead and the two princes.

Since you happened to come to the palace, you should also go to visit and explain it, it is only right," the eldest princess smiled at Fang Juncheng while continuing to instruct me, and said to me,

"Wait a minute, let Qi Wu lead you to my sister Suzaku Tower"

"Yes." I replied again. Then he came out of the eldest princess hall with Gonggong Qi as usual.

Outside the Qixia Palace, the dense bundle of stone dragons, mandarin duck vines, oleander and star fruit and peach Qingyin trees are all in this May blooming excellently, climbing the eaves of the corridor staggered, I look at this full of trees and flowers, reflecting the sunset, a rising scene, the air is gloomy and moist, infinite poetic and mystical scene.

As Gonggong Qi walked southeast, there was the Vermilion Bird Tower not far away.

This Vermilion Bird building is ten zhang high, the platform is built with five layers of attic, the top of the building is placed on the bronze carving Vermilion Bird is one zhang five high, the carved fence is made of jade, the Vermilion Bird is flying like flying, lifelike, the lookout platform next to it has the purpose of stargazing, independent and towering, the following layers are also scattered, the water of the river is drawn under the stage through the secret channel through the Vermilion Bird Terrace to flow into the lake that becomes the source of living water.

I heard that it was the day when the Lord and the Song family got married, the Song family married their beloved daughter, and carefully prepared the dowry, when the Song Concubine entered the palace on the same day, the amnesty was granted to the world, and the ministers were feasted in the Vermilion Bird Tower.

Although the Song Guifei who lives here now has a quiet heart and is no longer good at singing and dancing, but when you come here, you can still see Fang Jun's sincere ingenuity and love everywhere.

It's no wonder that a woman with a prominent family, two sons who are so competitive with Prince Jing and Prince Ning, and a talented girl who is said to be talented and didn't let Zijian back then, a woman, with such a fate, should be envied by everyone, right?

I thought to myself, so I had come to Song Guifei, and after saluting and reporting her name, the concubine sat down and spoke.

When I looked up, I saw that although this Song Guifei Niangniang had two sons and a daughter, and she was similar in age to the lord Juncheng, she still had the same figure, her hair was six feet long, the light could be recognized, her eyes were like ink jade, her smile was slightly cheeky, and she was full of beauty.

Even the maid on her side is also elegant and beautiful, looking elegant and intelligent. Song Guifei spoke softly and gently, first looked at Father-in-law Qi, and said, "It's the eldest princess's sister who has a heart, and she really has Father-in-law." ”

"How dare you," Gonggong Qi said with a smile, "Then General Fu and Niangniang are talking here, and the old slave will retreat first to run an errand, and where the old slave needs to come to guide, Niangniang ordered the little ones to come through." ”

"Father-in-law is polite," Song Guifei also said politely, "I will send General Fu out in a while, my father-in-law is busy with affairs, and I really have a father-in-law." After speaking, the maid next to her went to lead Father-in-law Qi out.

"General Fu is returning from the front line, it's really hard" Song Guifei looked at me and said slowly, "I don't know if the two sons of the palace are good at the front?" ”

"The princes are brave and good at fighting, heroic and extraordinary, and the blessings are all over the sky, Niangniang don't have to worry, I, the Beiming Water Master, will live up to the expectations of the Lord." I replied.

"Hey, what do you expect or not," the concubine Niangniang stroked her forehead with her hand, and said, "Since the two of them went on the expedition, the palace has been worried every day, and I really hate to give birth to them in this royal family, and they can still enjoy wealth and prosperity if they are not as good as the sons of merchants." ”

"Mother's motherly feelings are really common, but the princes have their own kung fu strategies and ambitions, after all, they are men's hearts, and they always want to make contributions."

When I came back this time, I heard that Song Guifei Niangniang sent the two princes to the front line because of the queen's will, so she was quite resentful and cold. Then he explained and comforted.

"What about making a contribution?" Song Guifei said slowly, "I know that I am just a woman, although I also have the heart to serve the country, but I always care about my husband and son, and I don't want them to get into danger." ”

I nodded. But I couldn't help but think in my heart, no wonder the eldest princess said let me come to explain, I think Song Guifei Niangniang is not a woman who is eager to compete for power in the palace, and she wants the safety of her son, so she is a little depressed about the lord sending her two sons to the front line at once.

But since I have come to consol me, I must say something that makes my mother happy, so I said:

"Niangniang doesn't know, the last general will see the two princes, brotherly affection, Prince Ning everywhere takes his brother as an example, Prince Jing is even more majestic in the army, everyone knows that the princes are not good, and they all say that it must be the mother's heart is kind, and the fortune is widely spread, so there are two princes who are talented and bless me Beiming."

I know what I said, naturally everyone who is a mother loves to hear, sure enough, Song Guifei smiled slightly and sighed, "That's it, these big things, big ambitions, where is the family of this palace who knows." The general smiled."
