Chapter 583: Ambition in Troubled Times
Ye Yuanpei came back from Northern Xinjiang, why didn't he say anything about Qiu Gang's ambitions, only he knew.
Zhuang Siyan couldn't guess, and Ling Tiancheng also refused to answer this question.
But Ling Tiancheng told her another thing, which was Qiu Gang's attitude in the battle of Northern Xinjiang.
At that time, Ling Tiancheng was already the imperial driver, and General Bai Heng accompanied him, and he was determined to beat the Beiban out and return the frontier to peace.
But the King of Zhenbei, who had been guarding there, had a very ambiguous attitude, and even when Ling Tiancheng transferred troops to him, he did not send people out cleanly, but delayed it for more than a day.
This was also the main reason for Ling Tiancheng's injury that time.
According to his budget, they had enough strength to beat the Beiban out, but in the end, when he returned to Beijing, the matter was not done.
What followed was a long battle between Bai Heng and Qiu Gang in northern Xinjiang that lasted for several months.
In the end, the good news from the north said that all the northern barbarian tribes had been wiped out, and the leaders of the tribes had been killed.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a problem inside.
I didn't write the details of the battle, and I didn't say how the reaction would be after the Northern Barbarians were destroyed.
If an ordinary emperor gets good news, he will be overjoyed, and he won't think about it.
But Ling Tiancheng is different, his country is not easy to come by, and too many things have happened, and it is full of holes until now.
There is a random person outside, and if he has a little ability, he wants to dig a piece of something there.
So he looks quiet on the surface, but his heart is as fine as hair, and he will not let go of every detail.
What was written in the excerpts of those ministers, he never only looked at the surface, but looked at the essence hidden in them through the surface.
What's even more powerful is that he never tells anyone about this kind of thing, and even if he finds a clue, he pretends not to know, and will secretly wait for their further development.
If Zhuang Siyan hadn't "extorted a confession" in this way, he would still have said nothing and waited for things to develop.
It's not that he has the skills of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it's really that there is too much chaos in the current Dasheng Dynasty, and too many people have died because of these things.
With internal and external troubles, Ling Tiancheng himself also wanted to be more stable, even if it was only for a few months, so that they could take this breath and clean up these dilapidated places one by one.
If the two families of Jia Qiu decided to communicate at the very beginning, they would be more optimistic, although the alliance of civil and military officials is likely to develop into the same as Zhuang Changyuan in the past.
But Ling Tiancheng has relatively good trust in the father and son of the Jia family, and he wants to bring Qiu Gang back to the right path because of their relationship.
But things were as he expected, Qiu Gang didn't take Jia Mingyuan in his eyes at all.
I found Jia Xian to talk about this matter, but it didn't work out.
Now that so much time has passed, the Jia family suddenly asked Zhuang Siyan to be a matchmaker again, which made him have to think about it again.
Does the Jia family also have a new move?
This matter can't be confirmed now, so he didn't do anything, but he didn't want Zhuang Siyan to get involved in it anyway.
If the matter is done, she will be tantamount to helping the two Yu Ling Tian become enemies, and if it doesn't work, she will also ruin her queen's face.
After the dignified dynasty of a country, even the finger marriage collapsed, how ugly it is to say.
Zhuang Siyan blinked his eyes, and after listening to him explain the reason, he didn't speak for a while.
Ling Tiancheng's hand was still clasping her little hand, so he rubbed it lightly and said, "I know that you are kind, and you don't really have any thoughts about Jia Mingyuan, you just want to be an adult." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "...... I know that you still say that, do you know that your distrust makes me very unhappy. ”
Ling Tiancheng shook his head: "I didn't see that you were unhappy, didn't you come to lie in my arms again?" ”
Zhuang Siyan was completely stunned.
This old fox was waiting for her here.
He had already calculated that Zhuang Siyan would not give up, and he couldn't get an answer in Zichen Palace, so he came out like that.
She will definitely come again, and then deliberately wait until after dinner, deliberately let her take the initiative, deliberately let her seduce herself first.
Then, now that everything is said and done, what are the two of them going to do next?
As soon as Zhuang Siyan reacted, he turned around and was about to get up.
It's a pity that she is lying on Ling Tiancheng's body, this posture is very difficult to get up, and her martial arts are so much worse than him, it is difficult to even move.
Ling Tiancheng didn't panic, and said softly in a slow voice: "It's the New Year, I'm not so busy, I want to accompany you more......"
"No, you can go and accompany others." Zhuang Siyan shook his hand.
He clasped it tightly, with both hands fixed on top of his head, his head resting on one of his legs, and his body resting on his other leg.
If you slant the corner of your eye at this angle, you can see a bulge like a hill somewhere.
It's so ...... It's a shame.
However, the hateful Ling Tiancheng was not in a hurry at all, and was still asking her, "Who to accompany?" You are the only woman in my harem, and I can only accompany you. ”
"No, Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you still have a concubine? I only met her two days ago, and she's so good-looking now, really. ”
Ling Tiancheng: "You are really depraved now, why are you going around as a matchmaker?" ”
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
It's called matchmaking? I'm afraid he has some misunderstanding of the word matchmaker, Concubine Zhen is his own concubine, and she has been in the harem for many years, and she is now at his beckon, telling this person, he will think that he is a matchmaker, really......
This road is not passable, and there is the next one: "It's okay not to accompany Concubine Zhen, then you go to accompany Ling Tiantian, he will recognize people now, he likes it when he sees you, you are father and son, cultivate more feelings!" ”
"What kind of feelings do fathers and sons cultivate, and if they don't cultivate feelings, they are also there, there is blood, and he can still disown me as a father in the future, even if he really doesn't recognize it, the throne itself will let him consider it."
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
Is this the psychology of the first generation of officials to the second generation of officials?
After messing around with his brains, he didn't expect the third person, Ling Tiancheng had already spoken first: "It's best to accompany you, although we are not related by blood, but we have the same heart, and you are charming, charming and delicate......"
The emperor took some medicine in about a minute, and suddenly turned on the praise mode, and added the praise words he knew to Zhuang Siyan.
There are some words that even Zhuang Siyan himself has never heard of, and he doesn't know what they mean, so he can only look at him dumbfounded.
It took a long time before he muttered a sentence: "Your Majesty, wake up, you're afraid that you saw a dummy, what kind of strange dream did you, you can't sleep here, it's cold, go to the dragon couch......"
"Okay!"
Ling Tiancheng got together, picked her up and walked to the dragon couch, there was no excess, and there was no pseudo-harmony in the middle, as if they were already discussing how to go to bed.
Zhuang Siyan asked Qingtian speechlessly.
They're not young, boys and girls, as for that?
It was a natural thing, but when he did this, he always felt as if there was a purpose in it.
That night, she didn't figure it out, but the next morning, things took a different turn.
Zhuang Siyan didn't accept Mrs. Jia's entrustment, of course, the sooner she told, the better, and she also arranged for this person.
The next day, before she could get up from Ling Tiancheng's dragon couch, she heard Li Fu outside talking to someone.
Ling Tiancheng didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, so he got up early.
Just seeing that she was still sleeping, she didn't go out, but sat by the fireside and read a book.
Hearing the voice, he first glanced at Zhuang Siyan, and when he saw that she didn't seem to be awake, he went out first, and asked Li Fu in a suppressed voice: "Early in the morning, what are you arguing about here, make the queen up, be careful of your head." ”
Li Fu: "......"
If you don't have a head, you don't make your own decisions anyway, so let's get down to business first.
He leaned over, lowered his head, looked at his toes and said, "Your Majesty, the slave didn't want to worry about you and Niangniang, it was a message from outside, General Bai had returned to Beijing, and there were people in the side hall who came over in the morning to ask Niangniang if she got up." ”
Ling Tiancheng was not surprised, and simply asked him, "Where is Bai Heng?" ”
"Just outside the city, because with a large army, there is no imperial order, and there is no entry into the city for the time being, and the north city gate is camped five miles, waiting for the emperor's will."
"Well, the order, the army stays in the camp, and Bai Heng can bring his relatives into the city."
Li Fu hurriedly spread the word.
Ling Tiancheng also turned around and went back to the inner hall, and saw that Zhuang Siyan had already gotten up, sitting on the bed with a brocade quilt and his hair stunned.
So he walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her face carefully, and asked, "What's the matter, you get up early in the morning and sit here in a daze?" ”
Zhuang Siyan turned his face, and his big empty and innocent eyes saw his face: "I want to drink water." ”
Ling Tiancheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, wait first." ”
He first took water to rinse her mouth, and then brought a cup of hot tea over, tried it himself, and carefully sent it to Zhuang Siyan's lips.
The little woman was wrapped in a brocade quilt, and she didn't even come out with her hands, so she drank a cup of tea with his hand, and then straightened up and poured it back.
At this time, it was already the end of the year, the court sealed the pen, the court meeting was suspended, and Ling Tiancheng was really idle for a while.
And Zhuang Siyan is in the palace, so he doesn't have much to do, so he will go with her if he sleeps for a while.
And he really feels sorry for her.
It was brewing for so long last night, and as soon as the two of them stuck together, they were inseparable, and they tossed for most of the night.
I am okay and strong, but Zhuang Siyan is a little woman after all, and she must be very tired.
It is rare to have leisure time, and he is willing to take care of her like this.
As for those things outside, let's put it aside for now, it's others who are in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry.
Zhuang Siyan slept until noon without anyone disturbing him, and when he woke up again, his eyes became fish bubbles.
She was about to reach out to rub it, but was pulled by a person in time, took a piece of brocade handkerchief, gently wiped her twice, and then said: "Get up, ask the imperial dining room to make porridge for you, warm it on the fire, you eat a little, if you are still tired, you can sleep for a while." ”
Zhuang Siyan got up from the bed, didn't use any strength, and pulled his waist with a sore feeling.
Ling Tiancheng's big hand propped it up in time, almost holding her whole body up: "Slow down, you still sit down, I'll bring the porridge and feed you." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
She's just a little tired, and she's not paralyzed, so why do you want to do this?
After getting up from the dragon couch, he remembered what happened in the morning, and while stuffing food into his mouth, Ichizhi asked him vaguely: "I heard that someone was looking for me in the side hall in the morning, what is the matter?" ”
