Chapter 32: Moving North
"Not at all." Lingxi's voice came out of the carriage, and he smiled, "It's only so small, how can you call your uncle......"
Li Qingyan, who was sleeping in the back carriage, opened her eyes after hearing Li Lingyi's laughter, she stuck her head out of the car and shouted happily to the familiar figure in the royal blue robe, "Fifth brother, fifth brother!" β
Li Lingyi turned around, smiled when he saw that it was Li Qingyan, and walked over with his head raised and said, "Ruyi, the fifth brother will take you on a horse." β
Li Qingyan cheered, lifted the curtain and got out, standing on the wheel and pounced on Li Lingyi.
Lotus Ye exclaimed in the back, "Miss Ten! β
Li Lingyi reached out in a panic to hug Li Qingyan's waist, and his heart turned over in fright, he made a straight face, raised his sword eyebrows and reprimanded, "How can you jump over!" β
Li Qingyan was not afraid at all, she pointed to the team that was slowing down in front of and behind the carriage, stuck out her tongue and said, "This is a lot less trouble." β
Climbed into Li Lingyi's arms with his hands and feet and sat firmly, Li Qingyan raised her hand and said loudly to Li Linghan, who was the foreword of the team, "Tenth brother, I also rode a horse." β
Lingxi looked at his children in the carriage and raised his voice, "Yi'er, you look at Ruyi, don't let her mess around." β
"Got it, mother......" Li Lingyi waved his horsewhip and drove to the front of the team with Li Qingyan's joyful laughter.
Ye Tingfeng hugged the child who was giggling in his arms, and coaxed with a smile, "Yu'er, call again, be good, my mother will give you fragrant rose cake to eat." β
When Li Lingyi and his entourage arrived at Liangba Yefu, it was July 20, the fifth year of Yongning.
Liangba Ye Mansion is not as wide as Jiangnan Ye Mansion, and there are only three courtyards in the back house.
After cleaning up, Lingxi took Li Qingyan to live in the main courtyard of the back house, Li Linghan lived in the left side courtyard, and Ye Tingfeng took the child to live in the right side of the courtyard.
The family, once again, settled down. After washing away his exhaustion, Lingxi began to look through the geographical records of Dyeing Dam to see where there were good places to look and play as a family.
On July 29 of the fifth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi was born at the age of sixteen.
Li Lingyi came to Ye's mansion early in the morning to kowtow to Lingxi, and by the way, brought an acquaintance - Xie Ruyu.
Xie Ruyu was wearing a pink Luo skirt, holding the common bun of Dashun girls, her left hand was tightly interlocked with Li Lingyi's right hand, and her face was a little gloomy and awkward.
After seeing Xie Ruyu, Feng was slightly stunned when he heard it, didn't Xie Ruyu return to Dayue with Wu Fengtian, how could he appear in Liangba?
Li Lingyi looked at Lingxi and Ye Tingfeng scratched his head and smiled, and said, "Mother, fifth sister, I have a lot of government affairs these days, I will let her here for three days, and I will take her back after three days." β
After Li Lingyi left, Xie Ruyu looked at Ye Tingfeng, and her eyes turned red.
This kind of thing is not easy to ask, so he took Li Qingyan and took the child to play in the garden.
Ye Tingfeng took Xie Ruyu's hand and came to his yard, and let Xie Ruyu be wronged like a child in his arms.
When Xie Ruyu stopped crying, she looked at Xie Ruyu's cheeks wet with tears, and called softly, "Ruyu, aren't you going back to Dayue?" β
"Madam......" Xie Ruyu lowered her head and said in fluent Dashun, "I walked with Brother Wu for less than ten days, and he caught up with ......"
"Wu Fengtian asked him to bring you back?" Listening to Feng raise his eyebrows at night, Wu Fengtian's kung fu is not a little stronger than Li Lingyi.
"I don't know what he said to Brother Wu, Brother Wu turned around and left, without even looking at me......" Xie Ruyu choked.
"Then ......" Ye Tingfeng looked at Xie Ruyu and asked, "Should you call me Fifth Sister now?" β
Xie Ruyu shook her head again and again, the beads on her head trembled slightly, she looked at Ye Tingfeng and said urgently, "We haven't ...... yet I ......"
Xie Ruyu's face turned red, like red and swollen eyes. He stammered and stopped talking.
Ye Tingfeng stroked Xie Ruyu's bun, and asked again, "Ruyu, will you return to Dayue?" β
Xie Ruyu bit her lip, and tears appeared in her eyes again. β
Xie Ruyu was discouraged by Li Lingyi, she knew that Li Lingyi was good to her, but there were too many problems to face between the two of them.
In addition to the major events between the two identities, there are also countless small things in the palace.
For example, Princess Yi Dong Biluo is in King Yi's mansion and has been pregnant for more than three months.
For example, on King Yi's mansion, there are several side concubines and concubines in addition to Princess Yi.
For example, whether it is Princess Yi or those concubines, they all regard Xie Ruyu, who is a member of the Great Moon people, as a mortal enemy.
Xie Ruyu grew up in the General's Mansion since he was a child, and he was straightforward by nature, how could he ever encounter this kind of formation staff, and after a few rounds of intriguing, he was already mentally and physically exhausted, and his body was full of injuries......
Xie Ruyu was watched quite strictly when he was in King Yi's mansion, and he couldn't move. Now living in the seemingly lax Ye Mansion, she tried to escape twice in three days, and finally ended up being discovered by the guards.
Looking at Xie Ruyu, Ye Tingfeng seemed to see himself at the beginning.
She didn't understand why Xie Ruyu wanted to run away, Li Lingyi really loved her, why couldn't she stay by Li Lingyi's side and face those problems with Li Lingyi.
If Emperor Jianning's love for her was true, she would definitely not leave......
Li Lingyi has a lot of government affairs on weekdays, saying that she put Xie Ruyu in Ye Mansion for three days, but she did not go to the door of Ye Mansion for several days.
On the seventh day of the eighth month of the fifth year of Yongning, Lotus Ye took several maids out of Yefu to buy embroidery thread. Xie Ruyu claimed that she was bored, so she had to go with her.
Taking advantage of the large number of pedestrians on the street, Xie Ruyu ran again.
Unfortunately, as soon as she got rid of the guards and ran out of the two streets, she was captured by Li Lingyi, who came on a horse and had a black face, and returned to King Yi's mansion.
Three days later, Li Lingyi took Xie Ruyu to Ye Mansion again.
Xie Ruyu wore a pale green Luo skirt, a women's bun was pulled up on her head, and a little kiss mark could be seen on the side of her tender white neck.
After coming to the main hall, Li Lingyi pulled Xie Ruyu to kneel down in front of Lingxi and let Lingxi drink his daughter-in-law's tea.
Xie Ruyu picked up the teacup and handed it to Lingxi, and after kowtowing three times with Li Lingyi, she obediently called her mother.
After drinking the daughter-in-law's tea, Ye Tingfeng took Xie Ruyu back to his room, took Xie Ruyu's hand and asked funny, "This time you want to call the fifth sister, will you go back to Dayue?" β
This pair of young couples are noisy, which is really interesting.
Xie Ruyu cried aggrievedly when she heard this, squatting on the ground and crying aggrieved like a child, "Fifth sister, my grandfather will beat me to death when I go back to Dayue." β
I got married without knowing it, and I married so far away, there are no three media and six hires, and I can't even count as a side room.
In the main hall, Lingxi said to Li Lingyi, who looked helpless, "Yi'er, are you reckless?" β
Li Lingyi stood behind Lingxi and rubbed Lingxi's shoulders, put away the smile on his face, pursed his lips and said, "Mother, when I agreed to marry Miss Dong as the princess, the eldest brother had already agreed to my affairs with Ruyu. I wanted to find an opportunity to contact her family and marry Ruyu into the house in the name of justice, but she always wanted to run, so she ......"
"That's also your eldest brother's idea, isn't it?" Lingxi raised her eyebrows, she was too familiar with this trick!
Li Lingyi smiled and acquiesced.
On the third day of the eighth month of the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning returned to the Qingxin Hall after the dynasty and drove all the palace people out.
Suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain in the hall.
In the early dynasty, Prime Minister Zuo inherited the Dashun Guoshu translated by the translator.
After the Dashun Emperor Yongning Emperor canonized, he canonized the ceremony on October 16 in Yongning.
The canonized man was named Mome.
Mo Mei, the woman who wants to be the queen of Dashun is called Mo Mei.
Years ago, the female doll who pointed the phoenix hairpin at his throat once said to him, "My name is Momei." β
Later, she said to him, "My name is Ye Tingfeng." β
Later, she asked him solemnly, "Wan Yanzhe, will you let me be the queen?" β
Emperor Jianning sat on the dragon chair physically and mentally exhausted, looking at the smashed tea cup in front of him and clenching his teeth.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Shi came in from outside in a frightened manner, knelt on the ground and whispered to Emperor Jianning, who was full of murderous aura, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhan has sent back the news." β
Emperor Jianning hummed coldly and motioned for Lu Shi to continue.
Lord Zhan said that after Lord Wu and Mrs. Zhaoyue arrived in Dashun, they went to a place called Bian Zhou in the south of the Yangtze River and lived in the mansion of a Ye family. However, a few months ago, the Ye family had moved out of the Jiangnan flood, and Lord Zhan was continuing to search for the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhaoyue. β
Lu Shi stood up from the ground, delivered the letter in his hand to Emperor Jianning, took two steps back and knelt down.
Emperor Jianning's heart sank, and the Ye family in Zhande's mouth must have returned to the capital of Dashun.
Tearing open the letter, Emperor Jianning took out Zhande's handwritten letter. On it, it is clearly written that Mrs. Zhaoyue gave birth to a baby boy in Ye Fuzhong in November of the previous year.
Emperor Jianning's eyes widened violently, his right fist was clenched, and his already cold heart twitched.
The emperor of Dashun, will he set up a fine post? And it's also a fine work that gave birth to the prince of the big moon?
This, unreasonable.
The most suitable approach for the king of a country is to control the only prince of Otsuki, and then use it as a bargaining chip to threaten Otsuki.
But if that were the case, what he received would not be the letter of state from Emperor Dashun to canonize the empress.
The fist slammed into his forehead, and Emperor Jianning had a headache, and his mind was completely confused.
After a long time, Emperor Jianning stretched his brows and raised his voice to call, "Lu Shi, thank you for Yuanxing and Lu Boyun entering the palace." β
Ye Tingfeng is the princess of Da Shunyan, and she must attend such a major event after the book. King Yi, as the only prince with a fief in Dashun, cannot be absent.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Yongning, I listened to Feng and Li Lingyi on the road at night and went to the capital to participate in the canonization ceremony.
This went back and forth for a long time, and at night Feng couldn't bear to run back and forth with his childish son who was less than a year old, so he left him by Lingxi's side.
Princess Yi couldn't go to Beijing because she was pregnant, and Li Lingyi was afraid that Xie Ruyu would be bullied in the palace, so he took Xie Ruyu with him.
Along the way, the three of them returned to the capital.
Li Lingyi has a mansion in the capital, and he stayed in King Yi's mansion that night after hearing Feng.
On September 12 of the fifth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi took the lotus leaf into the palace and went to Jin to see Emperor Yongning.
Emperor Yongning held a banquet in the palace to invite Li Lingyi, and Lotus Ye was led out of the palace by the palace people and returned to King Yi's mansion.
After she saw Ye Tingfeng, she said to Ye Tingfeng, "Fifth Miss, the emperor said that you can enter the palace in early October." The dress on the day of canonization has been handed over to the palace people, and two days later, the palace people will come to inform some details on the day of canonization. β
Ye heard Kaede nod and did not answer. She missed her child, and she thought heartbreakingly, and it had only been a month since she left, and it was like a hundred years apart.
"Jing Concubine Niangniang......" Lotus Ye looked at the night and listened to the maple, and stopped talking.
"Concubine Jing?" Ye Tingfeng came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jingyu?" What's wrong with her? β
After hearing Feng Feng's sudden sealing of Emperor Yongning, he was quite surprised.
Jingyu's background is very low, and it is not beneficial for Emperor Yongning to balance the harem of the former dynasty, how could Emperor Yongning think of making her queen?
"Concubine Jing Niangniang looks no different from before." Lotus Ye remembered the gorgeous figure she occasionally glimpsed.
If it weren't for Concubine Jing at that time following Zhou An and Zhiyue by her side, she wouldn't have recognized it as a dumb slave who had a timid expression by the side of Ye Tingfeng.
Ye Tingfeng replied indifferently, "Since she can go to the position of the queen, she will no longer be the same as before." β
Lotus nodded his head. The harem is a place to eat people, and if you keep being pure, you will only be trampled on. If you want to live with your head held high, you can only change yourself.
"Hopefully, she won't hate me." I heard Kaede sigh softly.
"Fifth Miss, this is the creation of Concubine Jing, and it has nothing to do with you." Lotus leaf comforted softly.
Ye Tingfeng nodded, no longer thinking about it. She will only stay in the capital until the canonization ceremony is over, and then she will return to Li Lingyi's fiefdom, and see you later, I don't know what year or month.
Ye Tingfeng couldn't wait until the beginning of October to enter the palace.
On September 16 of the fifth year of Yongning, a large number of royal guards poured into King Yi's mansion, and a rose-red bridge was carried into the back house to take Ye Tingfeng to the palace.
After entering the palace, Ye Tingfeng was placed under house arrest in the Changle Hall of Yongshou Palace.
Five years have passed, and the Yongshou Palace is still vacant, still the same as before, just a slave with a different face.
Night Hearing Kaede's heart rose with horror.
Emperor Yongning would not put her under house arrest for no reason, something must have happened. She repeatedly asked to see Emperor Yongning, but the final result was that she was stopped by the cold minions.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of October in the fifth year of Yongning, when Tingfeng, who didn't know the taste of food, was sitting in a daze in the Changle Palace, Emperor Yongning came.
He held the doll with the same eyes in his arms, and with a gentle smile on his face, he stood in front of Ye Tingfeng.
Ye Tingfeng was startled, and took two steps forward to take the child from Emperor Yongning's arms and hugged him tightly.
The little baby didn't see her mother for nearly two months, and after opening her small mouth and screaming a few times, she shouted sweetly, "Mother......"
Ye Tingfeng kissed his son's forehead lightly, and looked at Emperor Yongning's eyes full of doubts.
Emperor Yongning raised his hand to send out all the minions in the Changle Palace, and after sitting on the low couch, he whispered to Ye Tingfeng, who was holding the child and glaring at him, "Feng'er, your husband sent 300,000 iron horsemen to suppress the realm, you say, what should the imperial brother do?" ββ
On August 17 of the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning issued an order to order Xie Yuanxing, the general of Zhenguo, who had returned less than three months from the Lata Rebellion, to take command of the generals again, and led 200,000 iron cavalry to the camp at the beginning of the camp to suppress Dashun.
On August 20 of the fifth year of Jianning, Xie Yuanxing, the general of Zhenguo, led his troops to set off. The 200,000-strong army marched on horseback in four rapid marches, arriving on the first day of September, the sixth day of September, the fifteenth day of September, and the twentieth day of September.
Emperor Jianning's move shocked the government and the opposition. They didn't know why Emperor Jianning sent troops to Dashun, and it was the iron cavalry that was sent out!
200,000 cavalry is already one-half of the elite strength of the Great Moon Country, far from being comparable to the infantry.
On September 22, the fifth year of Jianning, 300,000 troops of Dashun entered Rongcheng, and 200,000 iron cavalry of Dayue were only 20 miles apart.
As the sun sets, the soldiers on both sides can even see the curling smoke rising from each other's tents.
On September 25 of the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning issued an edict to seal Lu Boyun as the vanguard, and led 100,000 iron horsemen to escort grain and grass to the beginning.
This 100,000 iron cavalry was sent again, and the Chinese military officials knew that Emperor Jianning was serious this time.
In the past, those Wenchen who encouraged the troops at the slightest move in Dashun were all shocked, and they changed their previous attitudes and persuaded Emperor Jianning to think twice.
In recent years, the relationship between Dashun and Dayue has become increasingly peaceful, and it is a rare opportunity to recuperate.
This year, Dashun is also in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the time to take the opportunity to make huge profits in the two trades. Thinking of the mining disaster in the largest iron mine in the Great Moon Country two years ago, Dashun not only did not fall into the ground, but instead reached out to help Dayue tide over the difficulties.
At this time, Da Yue's dispatch of troops to Dashun was unreasonable, and it was difficult to hide the leisurely mouth of the people of the two countries.
The military attachΓ©s of the DPRK and China have long wanted to fight and expand their territory. Emperor Jianning's will to send troops to Dashun was exactly what they wanted. The generals were all in high spirits and asked for orders to lead their troops to the battle.
And boasted that Haikou, as long as 100,000 iron horsemen, can attack the territory of Dashun, within a month, take three cities with a population of tens of thousands.
Regarding the controversy of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, Emperor Jianning did not leave a deaf ear.
He only ordered an army of 300,000 to suppress the border, but he did not give the order to fight.
Dashun is in the midst of floods, and tens of thousands of Li people have been displaced. When the border Wei State was in turmoil, it had been fighting for more than three months.
At this time, Dashun did not have the leisure to start a war with Dayue.
He was gambling that Emperor Dashun would not go to war with Da Yue. Emperor Dashun will seek a way to seize his weaknesses to exchange border peace and solve this crisis.
Emperor Jianning is full of expectations, his weaknesses are in the hands of Emperor Yongning, he knows, and Emperor Yongning also knows.
As long as Emperor Yongning offered his hands, he would immediately withdraw his troops and make friends with Da Shunyong.
On September 29, the fifth year of Jianning, Xie Yuanxing fell off his horse while leading the troops to drill and fell unconscious on the spot.
Xie Yuanxing is already seventy years old, and his physical strength has long been exhausted after years of fighting abroad.
The fall before the battle this time has become a stain on the old general's march for a lifetime.
After Xie Yuanxing woke up, LΓΌ Boyun wanted to send him back to the capital, but Xie Yuanxing was furious, claiming that he could still lead his troops to fight.
On the first day of October in the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianzhang issued an order to order Liu An, a general under Xie Yuanxing, to temporarily replace the position of general, and Lu Boyun personally escorted Xie Yuanxing back to Beijing.
When the team left the tent, Xie Yuanxing sat in the carriage and wept. He has been in the army for 50 years and does not want to say goodbye to the barracks in this way.
When Lu Boyun returned to the capital, it was October 14 of the fifth year of Jianning. The next day, he entered the palace with Xie Yuanxing, who had not recovered from his leg injury.
Emperor Jianning sent troops this time, and they were all confused in their hearts. But as loyal ministers, they can only obey orders and have no right to question.
