But said that after Wang Lanping received the will from the inner palace supervisor, he did not resist, he didn't have the heart and effort to deal with a woman, no matter how high you are, you are a woman after all, in the era of imperial power, women have no right to speak, everything depends on the man behind you.

Layers of palace bans, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, no matter where Jin Guifei goes, she will always be blatantly monitored, but no one listens to her in these soldiers.

The concubine's guard of honor was noble and gorgeous, and the phoenix passed through the courtyard gate of the West Palace, and soon came to the outside of the Rouyi Palace.

Located on the left side of the Fengtian Palace, the Rouyi Hall was built by Zhu Yuanzhang for the Queen of the Bigfoot Horse, and it is the palace that the queen used to deal with daily affairs, such as receiving the imperial court's women, receiving the princes and concubines, etc., and the emperor Fengtian Hall is on a horizontal line, and later Ming Chengzu almost completely reproduced the Forbidden City of Nanjing when he built the Forbidden City of Beijing in Beijing, but this Rouyi Palace is unique to Nanjing.

The reason, it is estimated that the location of the Rouyi Palace is in the previous dynasty, and it is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty that the palace is not allowed to interfere in politics, and no matter how noble the queen is, she should not go to the previous dynasty to deal with affairs, so the queens in the Forbidden City in Beijing are in charge of the affairs of the palace in Kunning Palace (personal speculation).

Today, Jin Guifei chose to meet Wang Lanping in the Rouyi Palace, in fact, she wanted to express a dissatisfaction, you Wang Cheng is a minister, I am the concubine of the Ming Hongguang Dynasty, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, don't kick your nose in the face.

Since the accession of Emperor Hongguang, the major halls in the Forbidden City of Nanjing have been repaired or built on the original basis, the history has been more than a year now, and it also has the momentum of Zhu Yuanzhang in those years, but the country has not changed and the hearts of the people have been scattered, and the tall and majestic Rouyi Hall can no longer set off the nobility of the royal woman.

The long guard of honor of the imperial concubine stopped outside the Rouyi Palace, the carved beams and painted phoenixes were bright and beautiful, behind the light gauze scarf, the hazy figure of the golden concubine was still graceful, and her posture of sitting in a precarious position added a bit of solemnity and made people dare not face it.

Wang Lanping was already waiting at the steps of His Royal Highness Rouyi, maybe this was the first time he had waited for someone so calmly since he entered the court, and he was still a woman.

The whole court dress was crowned, Wang Lanping walked over to the phoenix that had just fallen, this is the most respected woman in the legendary Ming Dynasty today, the Ming Emperor's concubine, that is, the queen (when the queen was not established).

"Minister, Dingguo Gong, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, Wang Lanping, knock to see the concubine Niangniang"

Wenyuan Pavilion scholar is from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present successive cabinet first assistant title, because the cabinet office is named in Wenyuan Pavilion, although Wang Lanping claims to be the prime minister, but also actually has the power of the prime minister to open the government and build a government, but in the imperial court classics recorded that the palace scholar into the cabinet auxiliary government as the name, which is equivalent to leaving a fig leaf for Emperor Hongguang.

Through the haze of thin silk, Jin Guifei saw Wang Lanping for the first time, and when she saw that this powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty turned out to be a young man who seemed to be less than thirty years old, she couldn't help but be surprised, is this the general who killed 15,000 Manchu captives in Yangzhou at one time? Is it the rebellious thief who imprisoned the Heavenly Court? It seems that you can't see how domineering and strong he is from him, but it makes people look at him for a long time, more like the son of a certain prince's family.

Wang Lanping knelt in front of Feng Yuan, he couldn't wait for Jin Guifei's gift for a long time, and he was also funny in his heart, you men don't dare to do this to me, if it weren't for Ning Ning's fault today, I wouldn't even bother to see you.

A pair of gold-threaded shoes passed in front of Wang Lanping's eyes, and it seemed that the maid next to the concubine was walking around, and Wang Lanping was not easy to move when he was lying on the ground.

With the sound of a stool on the ground, an embroidered shoe appeared in front of Wang Lanping's eyes, and soon the other one also fell, and the upper was embroidered with pale yellow roses with gold wire, which was very good-looking, but before Wang Lanping could take a closer look, he was immediately covered by Luo's skirt.

A refreshing fragrance swirled on the ground, and by feeling, Wang Lanping guessed that this master was probably Jin Guifei, the shelf was really big, and Lao Tzu had been kneeling for a long time in front of everyone.

The elegant and emerald green skirt stopped in front of Wang Lanping's eyes for a while, and then turned around and walked towards the steps of the Rouyi Palace, Wang Lanping took the opportunity to turn his head sideways, only to see a back, the long skirt dragged to the ground, and he was not afraid of getting dirty, the emperor's woman was not ordinary, and she even swept the floor while walking.

"Get Up"

In order not to embarrass the prime minister, the eunuch of the inner palace immediately ran to Wang Lanping's side when he heard the words, with a flattering face, holding Wang Lanping's arm and saying, "Prime Minister Wang, Niangniang will let you get up"

Unexpectedly, Liu Bao's kind move immediately attracted the cold eyes of Jin Guifei, and he was so frightened that he suddenly withdrew his hand and stood next to Wang Lanping in a dilemma.

Wang Lanping also noticed it, smiled in his heart, and got up.

Ouch, I'm on duty in the yamen all day long, and my legs are really a little sore when I kneel, so I still have to practice more boxing and feet when I'm free, and I don't practice my hands for three days.

As soon as Wang Lanping stood up, he saw that Jin Guifei did not stop, and walked up the steps surrounded by a group of maids, and walked straight towards the main hall of the Rouyi Palace.

Wang Lanping glanced back at the method and did not speak, but the method quickly understood that this was to ask him to wait here, it is a great honor for women in the world to see the queen, and it is difficult for ordinary men to see the queen of the world in ordinary times even if they are relatives of the emperor, at most, they will only show such a small face in front of the ministers when attending a certain royal ceremony, what is majesty, I can't see people who can't guess and can't understand or always have a sense of mystery.

Jin Guifei walked up the stairs, as if she didn't take Wang Lanping to heart at all, Rouyi Palace, the holy place in the hearts of royal women, there represents power and dignity, this is the first time she has stepped on the steps of Rouyi Palace, I don't know if there will be a next time.

Jin Guifei walked, the closer she got to the gate of the main hall, the more angry she was in her heart, she hated, she hated this Ming Dynasty that had exhausted her anger, she hated the emperor's cowardice and incompetence, she hated Wang Lanping's flying and domineering, although the current Wang Lanping gave her a very deferential performance, but she also understood that this was just for others to see, Wang Lanping was indeed a person with a heart, he knew that women were not threatened, so he did not embarrass himself.

Ascending the steps, Jin Guifei stopped and stood, slowly turned around, clasped her hands on her abdomen, and looked high, under the sun, the phoenix crown on her head reflected ten thousand points of golden light, and the grace and luxury jumped on.

Wang Lanping followed closely, and when he looked up, he just looked at her, it was this glance, which also made him unforgettable for life, he went south and north for more than ten years, entered the temple, and traveled through the rivers and lakes, Wang Lanping asked himself if he had seen all kinds of women, including rich daughters, chivalrous women, and beautiful ladies and small jasper, but he really couldn't find a word to describe the Jin Guifei he saw now, she was like a saint who did not eat the fireworks of the world, that kind of lofty posture made Wang Lanping feel a little timid, in the end, it was a royal woman, The arrogance in his bones can't be changed.

Wang Lanping was just stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and stopped.

I only heard the glamorous and terrifying voice of Jin Guifei coming out from above, "Wang Lanping, you are so bold"

Wang Lanping knew what she was talking about, Du Ningning ran into the harem and did the ridiculous thing, now it is rumored in the capital, there is everything to say, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell, Wang Lanping can't use strong means to deal with this matter.

Wang Lanping arched his hand and said, "The concubine has atoned for her sins, and recently the ministers have been entangled in government affairs, and they have neglected to restrain the family members in the house, causing the imperial concubine to be frightened, and it is difficult for the ministers to die."

Jin Guifei's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "You are dead?" Wang Lanping, so you are here to ask for sin today? ”

Wang Lanping hurriedly knelt down, "Please punish the concubine"

Jin Guifei didn't expect that the murderous Prime Minister Wang Cheng would be so deferential to herself, it was rare, I heard that at the gate of the Fengtian Hall next door, he gave an order, and more than ten second- and third-grade court officials fell to the ground, is the legend false, and it is not right, standing at the highest place of this step, the places that can be seen are guarded by layers of armor, and this is still his Wang Lanping's cage, no one can get in, no one can get out.

Jin Guifei didn't enter the palace, nor did she come down, she just looked at Wang Lanping all the time, she seemed to enjoy this dignity that might disappear soon, and she could stay for a while.

"This palace will not punish you, but that woman must die, you will hand her over to this palace" Jin Guifei said with certainty, and there was an aggressive momentum hidden under the willow eyebrows.

Wang Lanping lowered his head, "Bingguifei Niangniang, this incident happened suddenly, and the minister didn't know what happened, but it was the minister's fault that the imperial concubine was frightened, Du Ningning was naughty, and he didn't know the severity, and all the blame was borne by the minister."

Jin Guifei didn't know why, not only was she not annoyed when she heard this, but a strange thought rose in her heart, and she couldn't see that this murderous Wang Lanping was so protective of the women around him, if my emperor could have this heart...... Hey, time, life!

"You all stand down!" Jin Guifei suddenly asked all the palace eunuchs of the maids to retreat, turned around and walked towards the gate of the Rouyi Palace, and threw down a sentence, "Prime Minister Wang, you come in with the palace"

Compared with Fengtian Palace, the Rouyi Hall is less majestic but a little more solemn, but it is all the same golden splendor.

There were no guards in the palace, and there were no palace maids and eunuchs, Wang Lanping entered the palace, and the eight doors were open at the same time, although the eunuchs were far away, they could still see every move inside, but the sound of talking was only heard by the two of them.

**

Sichuan, Shiqi Mountain.

Sichuan Xuanfu envoy Ma Xianglin returned to Sichuan on Wang Lanping's order, first, to inquire about the military situation for the imperial court's westward expedition, and second, to find out whether Wang Lanping's wife was still alive.

After a lot of hardships, the fast horse galloped for more than 20 days, and finally arrived at Shili on the eighth day of the first month of April, and when he returned to the original mother's station, it was already empty, but fortunately, Qin Liangyu, the female general, arranged a large number of eyeliners in the entire Shiqi Mountain area to monitor the attack of the Western Thief army at any time.

Following the meticulous work, Ma Xianglin saw the long-lost mother, but the mother's body was thinner than before, and her old face became wrinkled.

The reunion of the mother and son was not a cry, Ma Xianglin hurriedly told the mother the news that Prime Minister Wang Cheng also killed thieves in June, but Qin Liangyu did not feel too happy at this time.

The son went for more than half a year, during this time, the Western Thief Department sent a large army into the mountains many times to search and suppress, the 30,000 'white pole soldiers' who were invincible in the past were pressed in the deep mountains, lacking clothes and medicine, and now there are less than 8,000 people still alive, distributed in more than ten surrounding mountains, and the news outside is completely blocked.

Not long after Ma Xianglin entered the mountain, he suddenly received a report that the 50,000 troops of Liu Wenxiu, a western thief who had been stationed outside the mountain for a long time, had withdrawn from the siege, and Qin Liangyu hurriedly sent someone to investigate, it turned out that Sun Kewang, another general of the western thief, was holding on to Jianmen Pass and fighting fiercely with Wu Sangui's Guanning army.

In order to cooperate with and assist the imperial court to regain Sichuan, Qin Liangyu ordered people to draw all the mountains and rivers in Sichuan into a map, as small as each village road and the desolate path between these lofty mountains and mountains are marked one by one, and even some roads are not even known to the Western Army.

At the same time, Ma Xianglin sent people to Chengdu and found the mansion where Li Dingguo lived at that time.

Ma Xianglin will only give up when he hears the news, the old man's life is miserable, and he hopes that Prime Minister Wang Cheng can think about it after knowing about it.

At the same time, Qin Liangyu sent a detailed work to the various dangerous passes into Sichuan to find out the strength of the Western Army and the deployment of war defense, and when all this was done, it was almost April 20, and there was only a little more than a month before the day of the Prime Minister's Western Expedition.

Ma Xianglin passed all the way, since entering the territory of Shunqing Mansion, it was really full of devastation, and you could see people and soldiers dying on the side of the road everywhere, and this was already the battlefield of the Qing soldiers and the Western army.

Ma Xianglin slowed down his trip, pretending to be a Taoist priest and a homeless person, carefully gathering any information about the Qing army or the Western army.

It is said that Zhang Xianzhong's love general Ainengqi had just fought fiercely with the army of the Manchu Ying Prince Azig for five days not long ago, the dead were piled up, the corpses smelled for dozens of miles, and the tragedy of the battlefield was what a scene, Ma Xianglin did not see it with his own eyes, but the homeless people were full of wilderness but they were always dangling in front of his eyes.

At present, Azig has captured Shunqing, but the loss of troops is too serious, and he is repairing in Shunqing, and at the same time waiting for Wu Sangui to break through the Jianmen Pass to join the army and march into Chengdu Mansion together.

The Ainengqi Department of the Western Army has collected the defeated army, retreated to the valley on the periphery of Shunqing, relying on the favorable terrain type, without harassing the Qing army to attract the Qing army, reduce the pressure on Chengdu, the Qing soldiers because the army is too fast, the grain and grass can not keep up, the victory but the wind is down, and also embarked on the old road of last year's Duoduo, the grain and grass do not continue, the battle of Qingxi in the end who will die, Ma Xianglin can not guess, now speed up the foot force, and hurriedly go to Nanjing. (To be continued.) )
