Chapter 115: The Emperor's House

Yiyi heard that the jewelry had already sent a batch of good past to the palace, so she only added a few exquisite and agreeable clothes to match her new clothes.

After changing his clothes and accessories, he was still veiled, and the group went to the West Market to buy ingredients.

"Brother Nineteen has a blessing today, and he can meet me and Grandpa Guo here. Although this newly opened shop is inconspicuous, the dim sum and tea are a must in Beijing, and we only discovered it in the past few days. "Tasting food, wine, and tea with his friends is the hobby of King Xiang.

"It's a pity that you're a rough person, and I don't know how much fun you can taste." Lu Guogong admits that he has devoted himself to studying food for many years, and his taste is no longer comparable to that of the perennial King of Jin.

At this time, Yu Chengxi has already drunk a cup of tea with Lu Guogong's sixteenth brother, this tea has a high aroma, the tea soup is clear and fresh, and it is indeed the same kind of tea that he drank last night, but last night's tea entrance is all comfortable, and the taste is far better than the tea in this shop.

"Today, thanks to the blessings of the two of you, after tasting such good tea, I will set up a dinner the day after tomorrow to invite the old man and the sixteenth brother."

"Is that true?!" Lu Guogong rolled up his sleeves, and almost hooked his fingers with him on the spot.

"It's nature!" This is naturally true, no matter how neglected he is, he will not even be accompanied by a drink.

What's more, she can appear in the capital generously at that time, and he still wants to take her to visit the old days, and it will not be uncommon for the King of Jin to set up a banquet.

"Then I'll take Hongbo with me then. That kid talks to you every day at home, and my ears are calloused. ”

"It's good that Brother Hongbo and I haven't seen each other for many years, so I just had a drink."

Li Yufeng, the eldest son of Lu Guogong, died on the battlefield, and only Li Hongbo was left in the long house. The second son took the position of the son, and the daughter-in-law of the long house did not like this concubine, Li Hongbo had to join his grandfather's old Western Army at the age of 20 in the eleventh year of Chunjing.

At that time, the commander of the Western Army was Jiang Dacheng, who was promoted by the old Guogong, who was not very outstanding in ability, but he was kind and righteous and had a good reputation in the army.

Lao Guogong only has two sons, the eldest son Li Yufeng died on the battlefield, and the second son has studied literature since he was a child, and no one in the family can succeed to the position of commander of the Western Army, so he strongly recommended his henchman Jiang Dacheng to the emperor.

Li Hongbo fought bravely in the Western Army, was loyal and righteous and Jiang Dacheng had a similar temperament, and at the age of 23 in the fourteenth year of Chunjing, he was already a five-turn commander from the fifth grade, which can be described as a young man's ambition. At that time, most of the generals of the Western Army were Lu Guogong and Li Yufeng's old department, and everyone vaguely regarded them as candidates for the next commander-in-chief.

At the age of fifteen, the king of Jin went to the western Xinjiang and served as the captain of the city of Kunxuzhou, the right road of Zhengsipinlong, and the commander-in-chief of the defenders of Kunxuzhou. Li Hongbo couldn't get used to the prince who had accumulated military merits in Biansai, and he had a lot of criticism about him.

From the summer of the 14th year of Chunjing to the end of the spring of the 15th year, there were frequent sandstorms in the western Xinjiang, and the tribes led by the big and small Bailu and Huoluo tribes could not survive, so the battle of Bailuluo broke out that shocked the government and the opposition, and the alliance of the Bailuluo tribes came to attack.

The prince of Jin was appointed as the chief manager of the marching army, and the battle was fierce, which lasted for half a year and still held each other, and the Daxun soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Some officers and soldiers in the army began to disobey the young Prince Jin, and Li Hongbo was one of them.

Li Hongbo was even more daring, privately entangled several of his father's supporters with the intention of assassinating the enemy commander, and was later captured. Jiang Dacheng organized a rescue of men and horses, and was surrounded again on the way back.

The Prince of Jin used himself as bait to lead 5,000 men and horses to burn the enemy camp, diverted most of the enemy troops and helped the two escape; Arrange for the old government to lead the people to ambush along the way, and destroy more than 10,000 enemies.

This also became a key victory in the Battle of Boluluo, but the credit was recorded on Jiang and Li afterwards.

After the war, most of the generals of the old Western Army were immediately transferred to other places, and when Li Hongbo was transferred to Mianzhou, this credit helped him get a division from General Sanpin Yunlu. But in the following years, it was very difficult to meet each other when the mountains and rivers were separated, and when he was in the capital a few times, Li Hongbo failed to see each other several times. Seeing King Jin this time, Xie Yixi's kindness back then was about to become his heart disease.

Li Dong used to turn a blind eye to his grandson's thoughts, but now that the emperor is in the spring and autumn, King Jin, as the only two sons-in-law with real power, is really eye-catching. Even if he doesn't have the heart to stir up the wind and rain, he has the power to call the wind and the rain. At this time, he wants to be alone, and the help he needs is no less than the help he wants to get things done.

Changfang's only grandson was successfully transferred, and none of the old departments of the Western Army were suppressed and framed, and these two points alone were enough for the Lu Guogong Mansion to stand behind King Jin. "Fight to die to reward your confidant, and you are making Qianqiu look up to your name." In the future, no matter whether the prince of Jin wants to advance or retreat, he will only look ahead.

After talking about it, thinking of the tea Yiyi made for herself, Yu Chengxi couldn't sit still, and wanted to hurry up and go home early, so the three of them made an appointment to drink and dispersed.

Emperor Mian was discussing with the prince in the study at this time, and the closer it was to the Wanshou Festival, the more difficult it was for him to calm down.

The national teacher has not returned from his travels so far, and the gate of the Lan Hall is closed. In the past 100 years, the time spent by national teachers in retreat has become more and more numerous. He may not be summoned by the national teacher in Huajia's birthday, his energy has declined in recent years, and if there is no elixir from the national teacher, he will start arranging for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

At this time, the door reported to the king of Jin to ask for a meeting, and Yu Lisheng hurriedly summoned him to meet him.

Yan Yingcheng, a confidant eunuch beside him, personally went to welcome King Jin in: "Nineteenth master, the emperor has been looking forward to you every day these days, and he finally looks forward to you today." No wonder the slave heard the magpie chirping in the branches early this morning, and it turned out that the nineteenth master was coming. ”

"Father thought you should have come to me to receive an errand a long time ago, but it's only a few days since my birthday, and your brothers and sisters are busy, so I don't see you." The son was older, and the girl did not recover from her injuries, and she did not even show up in front of her parents.

"The son is afraid that the injuries on his body have not healed, and not only will he not be able to help when he comes, but he will worry his father and queen mother."

"You were so badly injured when you returned to Beijing?" Emperor Mian stood up when he heard the sound, and when his son returned to Beijing, he looked bad, thinking that he was just rushing day and night to lose his condition. The imperial doctor was stationed in the Jin Palace, and the report was also for a girl.

It is not easy to let the battle-hardened general recuperate for more than ten days behind closed doors. It's just that he has been busy with everything recently, and he has to worry about the movements of the Lan Palace, so he doesn't investigate this matter.

"The nineteenth brother didn't know me when he was injured, but he was separated from my brother." The prince and his mother, it is reasonable to say this.

"The fourth brother doesn't know that I'm injured, so we can't be separated!" is such an elder brother, in order not to meet him in battle, he even did not hesitate to go to the frontier at the beginning, in order to keep the two brothers apart.

Emperor Mian saw that there was something unusual between the two brothers, "What is there to say here?" ”

"Father, this is some of the things I have found, because it is related to the fourth uncle, I have repeatedly verified it before presenting it to you in person." Not only the fourth uncle, but even the Weiguo Gongman Mansion has long been a member of the East Palace, and his grandfather's family has not had many titles for Yu Chengxi.

"It's actually the alliance of Kamo Wibo and Tanma Sudi, your fourth uncle has not been in vain in Jiannan Dao for a few years." After reading the fold in his hand, Emperor Mian threw it at the feet of the prince.

The Qian family's dragon skills only need to assist one master to ascend the throne, but he has two sons-in-law. "What are you going to do about this?"

"Today, I present this fold to my father, just to ask my father and brother to decide this matter." The eldest daughter of the eldest uncle became the crown princess, and the affairs of the Qian family were inseparable from the East Palace.

"The nineteenth brother didn't order the fourth brother to do this, you have to believe me!" Prince Yu Chengzhi took a cursory look at the recital, and broke out in a cold sweat. When his father was in power, it was taboo for brothers to fight, and the fourth uncle also left evidence from other countries, which simply put him on the fire to roast.

"I will present a fold to my father in front of the fourth brother, and I am naturally willing to believe the fourth brother." Even if he was born in the emperor's family, he still wanted to be brothers and sisters. He retreated early and stayed away from the comfort and prosperity of the capital, because he would rather fight with foreigners than fratricidal.

"Okay, my father will give you justice."
