Chapter 151: General Huo is here to give a gift
In May, Jingshi also has a bit of summer heat.
With the recent arrival of several fast horses in Beijing, the emperor and the East Palace in the Qianqing Palace have received the news.
The emperor didn't say anything after watching the secret recital, thought about it, only put the excerpt close to the lamp and destroyed it, and then passed the message to Fu Rong, the prince of Guangwei Hou, to enter the palace to ask about the follow-up of Cheng Xiao's case.
The atmosphere in the East Palace is much more subtle.
The prince sat behind the bookcase, and read the letter in his hand several times in a row: "The news is accurate? Shen Ying is not dead, is she indeed in Nankangwei? ”
"It shouldn't be fake." The person who bowed deeply came to visit, "For this reason, Lord Peng also sent the little one to the Huzhou Wharf to inquire in person, according to the officials who sat and ate tea with Liu Wei before the incident, many of the questions asked by Liu Wei were locked on Shen Ying, who testified against Ling Yan in front of the battle.
"And the little one found out the specific time when Shen Changying arrived in Nankangwei, as well as the people around her, are also worthy of Shen Ying."
The prince clung to the letter, and his thin lips were pursed under his tightly twisted brow.
He got up from the case and walked to the hall: "If it's Shen Ying, why didn't Ling Yuan move?" How did Ling Yan die back then, he forgot? There is no reason for this. Didn't you go to Nankangwei to find someone to ask? ”
"Nankangwei's defense is impregnable, and the soldiers below have no orders from Tan Shao, and they never leak information."
The crown prince glanced at the top of his head: "And what about the vicinity of their residence?" ”
"The alleys where they live are full of generals, and outsiders can pass by, but if they stay in them, they will be targeted within two hours. And because the neighborhood is familiar, strangers are very eye-catching. The little one didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he didn't hear anything. ”
The prince's brow tightened.
He shook the letterhead in his hand, lowered his head and looked at it twice: "What is the origin of Huo Rong, who has a marriage certificate with Shen Ying?" ”
"I heard that it was a general Zhaoyi transferred by Dongning Wei. His ancestral home is Yunnan. ”
"In the past, the eldest girl of the Jingshi was married to a little General Zhaoyi?"
"It's not married, it's just a marriage letter at the moment."
The prince was silent again.
The eunuch came in: "Your Highness, Gu Shizi asks to see you." ”
The prince's eyes were dark, and he glanced under the door, and then twisted the letter paper in his hand into a ball and stuffed it into his cuffs.
"Go back and find out Ling Yuan's attitude towards Shen Ying. That Huo Rong also went to check it out. Huzhou sent a few more people to lurk, and then told Peng Xie that if Ling Yuan was reluctant to move Shen Ying, then find an opportunity to kill Na Huo Rong. ”
…… The affairs of the wharf have been on the right track, and there are not many in the yamen, and most of them have gone to the guard office to answer the house and return to their homes recently.
The garden is full of mugwort.
While Huo Rong was thinking about it under the window, Tong Qi came in with a few letters: "I just received it, Cheng Xiao has been executed on the Jingshi side, and Peng Sanye is already preparing to go south."
"Huai'an Caoyun Governor's Mansion, it is said that there has been a dispute between Peng Xie and Liu Shuo, and our people have seen the two of them face each other at the same banquet. In addition, the Marquis of Wu Ning's side had already sent people north.
"There is no news from the palace yet, and it is estimated that it will be a few days."
Huo Rong's eyes were gloomy, and he turned the teacup in his hand: "Let Huai'an keep an eye on it, Peng Xie has lost Liu Wei, and most of them will be angry with Liu Shuo, so that they can use this fire to add some oil." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head again: "Draw up a fold and talk about the marriage book." Send someone back to Huizhou to say a word. Write well, don't make any baskets. ”
The sky light shone on his finely carved and excellent facial features, and the majesty that overflowed inadvertently made the atmosphere of the study solemn.
Tong Qi said yes.
The steward Chen Xiang walked in at this time: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the Shen family's side, what do you have to show you?" ”
Both of them were silent, and Huo Rong frowned and said, "What should I do as usual?" ”
"Since there is a marriage certificate, it stands to reason that it is according to the pomp of the family."
Huo Rong was noncommittal. How can he and Shen Changying be considered a family now? Since that day, he has not even said a word to her.
"What if you don't get married?" He asked.
"If you don't get married, there is a prescribed etiquette, and we, as men, have to show a little bit."
There was silence under the window for a moment, and Huo Rong opened the lid of the tea bowl: "Then prepare the ceremony." ”
Chen Xiang said that he had withdrawn.
Huo Rong took two sips of tea, then put the cup, and walked to the mirror to straighten his clothes.
In the morning, Changying went to the government office, and sure enough, Tan Shao passed to the official room, informing him that the appointment order and general seal issued by the Ministry of War had been issued. and explained the seal and seal letter in front of several deputy commanders and envoys who were present.
The chiefs all congratulated one after another, and joked that Changying should be the east, which should be done, so they avoided today's Dragon Boat Festival, and asked Zhou Liang to go to Xinghualou in the city to book a whole courtyard, and invited the church, and agreed to go to dinner and listen to the play tomorrow at noon, and then bring everyone's family members with them, and have fun together.
Huang Ji brought the news back to the house, and Mother Wu and the others were naturally overjoyed.
Although he is not a big official from the fourth rank, he has been promoted two levels in a row, and now he has the rank of general, he is a real general. It can be regarded as officially entering the official career, and she may not have a place on the list of generals in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
"I'll add a few dishes!"
Wu's mother happily returned to the kitchen.
Changying ate a cup of tea, went into the study to open the cabinet, and took out a blue booklet pressed on the bottom.
The official position has finally been promoted, and then she can rest assured that she can plan for the future.
There are still eight months left before Yang Su returns to Beijing, and there has been no change so far, in his previous life, he seemed to have appeared in Beijing from the sky, and there was no way to even make people want to follow the vine to find the traces of spiders and worms.
She hadn't met Yang Su, but she had heard a little about his actions in Jingshi in those years.
Legend has it that it can bend and stretch, lift weights lightly, although there is no one-day palace experience, but it seems to be comfortable between the parties, not to say how powerful, but the result will always be a little stronger than the opponent, people can't touch the depth.
In the past few years, she has tried her best to recall and record things about him, and according to the time calculation, the emperor should have planned for him now, and he should be waiting to act somewhere.
But I just don't know if the two cases of Cheng Xiao and Cao Yunsi caused by her rebirth will cause any variables on the side of the court?
After all, these two things are related to the prince, and the affairs of the court situation affect the whole body.
"Girl, General Huo is here!"
Just as he was holding the booklet in his hand, Zi Yan came in, with some excitement on his face. "I also brought a lot of rituals, and the slave and maid took a look at it, and the food was very complete!"
Changying came back to her senses, and then remembered the ritual they had discussed yesterday, and looked at the door in a daze, and did not move for a long time.
