Nineteen years of Deqing.

April 10.

Concubine Yuan committed suicide by taking poison in Zhaohua Palace.

May in the next life, you and I be true sisters, and never enter the emperor's house again.

********

The harem was reshuffled, and all the concubines of Emperor Deqing were sent to the palace, and then the concubine of the emperor who was alone was invited to return to the palace and preside over the affairs of the harem.

The court was also reshuffled, and the supporters of the Seven Princes fled with their families after hearing the news that the Seven Princes had set up their own camp.

Only the loyal ministers are left to stick to the court and handle various government affairs in an orderly manner.

One of the two major regents, the Duke of Zhenguo, was still at war with the Seven Princes in Cangzhou, and only Duke Chengen remained in the court to preside over government affairs and the funeral of the emperor.

Originally, the ministers were still worried that the Chengen Guild would take the opportunity to develop its own power.

But after the court meeting, after finding that he listened to everyone's useful advice, he was relieved.

The mourning hall of the emperor and queen needs to be stored for 27 days before the body of the emperor and queen can be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

After being parked for three days, Concubine Yuan's body was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

In the princess's mansion, after crying for a long time, the Nine Emperor Princes finally settled down again.

Everyone consciously hid Fu Jia, and the princess's mansion still seemed to be happy.

"Why haven't you seen your aunt in the last few days?"

Fu Jia sat on the couch, teasing the two glutinous rice dumplings.

Qin Ranran was sitting on the kang, teasing the two orange dumplings: "Is Duchess Chengen really living in your mansion?" I didn't go back to see it before because I was afraid that you would have no one to take care of you, but now that I'm here, of course I have to go back to my house to take a look. ”

"Lest there be a bold mother-in-law who smuggles Yun'er's dowry out, and Yun'er can't come to you to cry."

Song Wenyun and Lin Yao finally packed up their emotions and came to see Fu Jia, and when they entered the door, they heard Qin Ranran being teasing themselves, and immediately walked in angrily.

"Humph!"

"I won't come to cry, but Ranran, you actually learned to play people behind your back, this trip to Suzhou, it's amazing."

Song Wenyun was afraid that the topic would shift to the queen, so he couldn't help it, so he quickly shifted the topic to Suzhou.

Qin Ranran knew what she meant, looked at the pleading look that was handed to her by Fu Jia with her back, and said with a smile: "The people of Suzhou are fierce, you don't know, the ladies there are not like us here in Beijing, and if there is an awkward quarrel between husband and wife, the women will go back to their parents' house to live, but they will carry knives and guns and go directly to the martial arts arena to try it out." ”

All three of them listened to it with a smacking tongue.

Fu Jia said with interest: "So, those ladies know kung fu?" ”

"There is very little discipline on women in Suzhou, and women are the same as men, and they can learn kung fu."

Qin Ranran said with a smile, she was afraid that the topic would lead to the battlefield again, so she changed the topic again.

"By the way, did you wear the dress I brought back to Duchess Chengen at the beginning, does it look good?"

Fu Jia's face turned red when he heard her talk about the dress.

Qin Ranran and Lin Yao knew the meaning, but Song Wenyun didn't.

She asked a little strangely, "Fujia, what are you blushing, the skirt is a little exposed, but it's also blushing like this." ”

Fujia blushed and kicked them out, and his heart beat a little faster as he sat on the couch.

Can she say that she wore that dress to Brother Axiu, and was pressed by Brother Axiu on the couch and tossed and turned all night?

However, looking at Qin Ranran and Lin Yao as if they knew everything, they must have suffered the same as themselves.

Her heart was inexplicably balanced again.

It's just that Brother Ashu seems to be very busy lately.

********

The war in Cangzhou has been stalemate.

Lu Chengan had a headache: "Such a Cangzhou has been besieged for three days, and you haven't come up with a way to break the city?" ”

Qi Zhen looked at the sand table in front of him, and was about to speak, when he heard the messenger outside shouting anxiously.

"Report! Eight hundred miles of urgency! ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed.

The only thing that can be used for 800 miles of urgent reporting is major military intelligence.

"Report, an eight-hundred-mile urgent report from the Southeast Naval Army!"

Qi Zhen's face changed greatly, he took a step forward, took it and hurriedly opened it.

After reading it at a glance, he handed the letter to Lu Chengan: "I have to go back." ”

Lu Chengan nodded: "You have some armaments, and I will let Lu San go back to Beijing to talk to the adults." ”

"The stakes are very high, and you should have no objections."

Qi Zhen also had this intention, but he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What is the ...... here in Cangzhou?"

"With me, don't worry. If you really don't feel at ease, tell me to get rid of the pirates quickly and come back to help me. ”

Lu Chengan said with a smile at Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen looked at him with confidence and nodded: "Okay, I naturally believe you." ”

After that, he turned his head and went out to count the sailors he brought over, and Lu Chengan also arranged for Lu San to rush into Beijing with the soldiers who reported the news.

There was such a big thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there was unexpectedly harmony in the court.

Those who defected and shrunk their heads were not above the court, only those who sincerely served the country and the people remained, and all resolutions would be passed and implemented soon.

When Lu San's words were delivered to the council, the ministers were discussing the filling of official vacancies.

After listening to Lu San's words, he read the eight-hundred-mile urgent report again, and after inquiring in detail about the number and situation of the soldiers who reported the war, they discussed it in a low voice, and then quickly drafted an edict.

allocated 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 orders of grain and grass for the southeast navy.

"Lu San, you go back and tell General Qi, if it's not enough, let's find a way again, the power of the cabinet is only so great."

Elder Jiang Ge, whose beard was already gray, said to Lu San.

"You must bring this to you, but don't chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Lu San nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Ge!" ”

Lu San came and went in a hurry, and without staying too long, he took the messenger back to the Cangzhou camp.

When he returned, Qi Zhen had already ordered all the soldiers and was ready to go.

Lu San conveyed the cabinet's will to Qi Zhen, and conveyed Jiang Ge Lao's words to Qi Zhen as they were.

Qi Zhen's face was moved, and he said to Lu Cheng'an: "Thank you Jiang Ge for me, if the Duke of Zhenguo can return to Beijing before Your Majesty's spirit, you must replace me with a stick of incense for Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Lu Chengan responded and sent him on the road.

After Qi Zhen led the army away, his expression changed back to solemnity.

********

"Seventh Master, the southeast Japanese invaded, and Qi Zhen brought people back to the southeast. Now, only Lu Chengan himself has brought 20,000 horses to confront us. ”

The guards of the Seven Princes hurriedly entered the big tent with happy faces.

The Seventh Prince immediately slapped the table and stood up suddenly: "God really help me!" Who said I wasn't the true dragon anymore? Even God is helping me! Assemble your team and attack tonight! ”
