Chapter 397: Good News and Bad News

The country can not be without a monarch for a day, the little prince has just succeeded to the throne after the full moon, and after the Qingming Festival next year, he will officially ascend the throne and change the year name.

Emperor Daxing ascended the throne at the age of five, and this little emperor had just reached the full moon when he ascended the throne, so he couldn't even sit down, let alone sit on the dragon chair.

So the Empress Dowager finally walked from behind the bead curtain to the front, and she held the little emperor and sat on the chair that had once sat on the two emperors of Daqi.

In the previous dynasty, there was also a matter of the queen mother hanging the curtain to listen to the government, but she only sat behind the curtain, and held the little emperor like this and sat directly on the dragon chair, and the queen mother was the first person.

Although the little emperor's swaddling clothes were still sewn with sackcloth, the storytellers in Xi'an sounded the waking wood again.

This time it is about the new thing about the empress dowager in the capital holding the little emperor and accepting the three kneels and nine knocks of hundreds of officials.

"Hey, in this way, Prince Qin is also going to enter Beijing."

"It is estimated that it will wait until next year, when the little emperor officially ascends the throne."

"Alas, if there is only one prince today, Prince Qin."

"No, there's only one left."

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Zhou Zheng retracted his head from the window and said to Xiao Ren, who was sitting opposite: "Father must enter Beijing next year." ”

It's something you can't hide.

When Emperor Taizu was alive, the vassal king entered Beijing every three years, but since the death of Emperor Taizu, the empress dowager waived this rule, and the vassal kings outside were not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.

King Qin returned to the capital that year in mourning, and it was on that occasion that he and his two sons parted.

As soon as he thought of entering Beijing, Zhou Zheng lost the interest in drinking tea and listening to books.

The little girl was afraid that the storyteller downstairs would disturb the third prince and the seventh young Yaxing, so he reached out to close the window, and his eyes inadvertently looked down, and he couldn't help but say "huh".

"Third son, seventh younger, Miss Shen is downstairs."

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Ren pushed him away and went out, Shen Tong was really sitting down, and she was still with Fang Fei, Yan Cui and Xiaomei by her side.

The four little girls apparently came to listen to the book.

She has not yet reached the curtain, the northwest has never been too strict with the restraint of women, influenced by Yulin and other places, not to mention a little girl like her who has no curtain, that is, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who does not wear a fence and wanders around the street abounds.

Therefore, the little girls listened to the books in the teahouse, and no one paid much attention.

Zhou Zheng's voice came from behind him, and he said to the little servant: "Don't go down and invite Miss Shen up." ”

The little girl left in response, and after a while, Shen Tong walked upstairs with the three little girls.

Zhou Zheng went back to the second child and served refreshments, and intimately opened another table for Fang Fei and them outside, and the three little girls happily went to listen to books and eat snacks.

Xiao Ren asked, "You didn't like to come to this kind of place before." ”

This is the truth, Shen Tong doesn't like this kind of place with many people's eyes.

Shen Tong smiled: "I'm here to hear about the story." ”

In fact, the people who come to this teahouse, eight or nine times out of ten, are here to listen to the storytelling, especially in the last few days, in the entire Xi'an city, only the storyteller of this teahouse is talking about things in Beijing.

Xiao Ren said to Shen Tong: "There is good news, and there is bad news, I originally wanted to tell you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you here, which one do you want to hear?" ”

Shen Tong smiled: "Then let's talk about the good news first." ”

"The good news is that the Antar army has finally withdrawn, and Yanbei has won a victory." Due to the snow in the north of Yanbei and the road closure, this battle was stopped for a few months, Yanbei had enough grain and grass, but the Antar army could not afford to consume it, and after the snow melted, it only fought two battles, and it could not be supported, and finally retreated.

"So the bad news is that Yang Qin was rewarded by the little emperor and promoted again?" Shen Tong asked.

Xiao Ren said with a smile: "The award is a commendation, but it is not him, but Yang Jinxuan, the second son of Yang." ”

"Huh? That Yang Jinxuan? Shen Tong grinned, disgusted.

"Yang Jinxuan annihilated 8,000 enemies, which should be the first merit, and the little emperor named Yang Jinxuan is the second rank of the general."

The corners of Shen Tong's mouth grinned even wider, wouldn't that be about the same as Jiang Shuangliu, only one hereditary thing missing.

Of course, the Yang family has an ancestral shade, and it is not uncommon for a hereditary general.

Besides, the only hereditary general of the Jiang family back then, the premise was to kill the little emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was an immortal achievement, and no matter how many enemies Yang Jinxuan annihilated, it was not as good as killing an emperor.

Moreover, Yang Jinxuan's credit is not all due to his father Yang Qin's mouth.

"Yang Jinxuan shouldn't be going to enter the Beijing Face Saint, right?" Shen Tong suddenly had a whim.

Xiao Ren nodded: "Let you guess correctly again, the little emperor said that Yang Jinxuan's merit is in Qianqiu, and his merit is in Sheji, and Yang Jinxuan is allowed to enter Beijing to offer prisoners." ”

The person who entered Beijing to offer prisoners should be Yang Qin, but it was changed to Yang Jinxuan, making it clear that the empress dowager wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and win over Yang Qin, who had little affection for her.

Undoubtedly, the Empress Dowager's hand can still make Yang Qin grateful to Dade.

After all, in the eyes of the Yang family in the capital, Yang Qin is the person they want to replace but can't get what they want for a while;

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Yang Qin is a feudal official with heavy troops, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the government and the opposition are turbulent, people like Yang Qin must be stabilized, and they must be grasped in the palm of their hands.

All in all, in the matter of Yang Qin's father and son, there is a difference between the old protector Yang Feng and the empress dowager, but this difference has nothing to do with the overall situation at present, and the two sides can understand each other." The good news is that the Antar army finally retreated, and Yanbei was victorious. "Due to the snow in Yanbei and the road closure, this battle was stopped for a few months, Yanbei had enough grain and grass, but the Antar army could not afford to spend it, and after the snow melted, only two battles were fought, and they could not support it, and finally retreated.

"So the bad news is that Yang Qin was rewarded by the little emperor and promoted again?" Shen Tong asked.

Xiao Ren said with a smile: "The award is a commendation, but it is not him, but Yang Jinxuan, the second son of Yang." ”
