Chapter Eighty-Four: The Great Chu Comes to Envoy
I take a day off on the 38th Festival, because my community organized us to go to see the peach blossoms, I want to watch it for a day, and there is a movie theater at night, so I don't have time to type~~~
ββββββββββββββββββββ this is the dividing line to take advantage of the lazinessββββββββββββ
Three days later, the Inner Court issued three decrees at the same time.
The prince moved back to the East Palace, but he still thought about it behind closed doors.
Concubine Yue repented and was reinstated as a concubine.
Concubine Jing of Jin is Concubine Jing.
For a while, the government and the opposition were puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, His Majesty the Emperor, who had an unpredictable sacred heart.
Under the huge aura of Concubine Yue's re-titled concubine, Concubine Jing's promotion is not so noticeable. She has been in the palace for more than 30 years, and she has never made any mistakes, she has a prince who opened a mansion as an adult, and it is natural to get a concubine, but she has been neglected and ignored for many years. Therefore, the harem people, after coming to congratulate them perfunctorily, still flocked to the Zhaoren Palace of the Yue Guifei in large groups. Only a very small number of perceptive people connected the many gifts of King Jing in the previous year's reward with Concubine Jing's promotion to the throne, and sensed in advance that there seemed to be an upstart about to rise, so they came to make friends with each other.
But whether it is Concubine Jing or King Jing, the mother and son all show some pampering and not surprised, polite but distant, Concubine Jing only has a polite reception, and she doesn't even accept the ceremony. Except for the change in the position she stood on when she met the queen, it was almost impossible to feel that this promotion had any practical significance to her. Some people even believe that her promotion to the throne was just a foil pulled by His Majesty the Emperor in order not to make Concubine Yue's return to the throne appear abrupt.
King Jing's performance is slightly different from her, he knows that he doesn't know enough about the courtiers, and he completely trusts Mei Changsu's judgment and decision-making, so he has been making friends with the people recommended by Mei Changsu very strictly, and he treats all those who have dealings with him with the same etiquette, but it is under this same etiquette that there are subtle differences in intimacy and intimacy
Mei Changsu knew in his heart that King Jing's way of winning people's hearts would take longer, but at the same time, it would also have a more stable effect.
After the Qingming solar term more than a month ago, the Nihuang County Lord and Mu Qing had already submitted a request to return to the Yunnan fiefdom, but Emperor Liang has not allowed it and has remained until now. However, within a few days after the Great Chu delegation entered Beijing, he approved this piece and agreed to return to the south to guard the town, but left Mu Qing behind, on the grounds that he had not been in the title for a long time, and the Empress Dowager was reluctant to accompany him for more time.
Such an obvious behavior of keeping hostages almost caused a big wave in King Mu's mansion, and the generals of the southern border army who went to Beijing with the two of them were all angry and cold, but Nihuang was more calm and serious, first calmed down his subordinates, and did not let inappropriate remarks spread outside the house, and carefully selected trusted henchmen to stay with him, and was even more careful with his younger brother, and everything was properly arranged, so he arranged his own return to Yunnan.
Before leaving, she said goodbye to her friends in the capital in turn, and finally came to Su's house.
In the renovated Su Mansion Garden, there is a late spring Shaoguang. The begonias are gone, the peaches and plums are shady, and there is a breath of sadness in the prosperity. After the subordinates withdrew, the two people standing side by side under the Tumi flower stand were no longer Mei Changsu and the county lord, but Lin Shu and his little Nihuang.
Just a faint look and a shallow smile can arouse a sense of trust in life and death, and a strong family affection that warms the heart. Nihuang is not wearing a strong dress today, wearing a wide-sleeved long skirt, a plain camellia on her sideburns, and a white jade branch, which shows her daughter gracefully, but the wind and dew on her beautiful red face are sorrowful, and still clearly show the burden on her shoulders and the heavy burden in her heart.
"Brother Lin Shu, Nihuang is gone, and I can't see you again for a short time. My Yunnan Mufu is also a little connected in Beijing, this Huanggang jade plate is passed down by my grandfather, and the licensee's order, even Qing'er must follow. Entrust it to the eldest brother today, and I hope to give up. β
With these earnest words, Nihuang Yingying bowed down, and what he held out with his hands was a glossy ancient jade plaque, engraved with a Mu character in the seal body, and the bottom was surrounded by water wave prints.
Mei Changsu's expression was solemn, and his gaze slowly fell on this token. He knew in his heart that the woman in front of him, who was supporting the Mu clan in Yunnan, solemnly entrusted him not only with a jade plaque, but also with the safety of his beloved brother in Beijing, and once he took over, it would be a very heavy responsibility. However, at this moment, he was not allowed to hesitate, and he did not think of hesitation at all, and his only reaction was to take it without humility and pick up the Nihuang from the ground.
"Don't worry, the emperor is just a check and balance, not a thought. Although Qing'er has little experience, he is a smart and intelligent child, and with me in the capital for a day, he will not be in any danger. β
Nihuang's cheeks were covered with shallow pear vortices, but a pair of eyes as clear as the bright moon were covered with a layer of tears, "Brother Lin Shu, you ...... Take care of ...... too."
Mei Changsu smiled gently at her. There is no need to say any more superfluous words, not even Nie Duo needs to talk about them anymore. As long as each other knows each other's concerns, and knows the purest and softest part of each other's hearts, it is enough.
The lord of Nihuang left Jinling in the early morning of April 10, and the emperor sent a cabinet secretary to the city gate to show his favor. In addition to the courtiers who came to pay their respects, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xia Dong and others naturally came, but in the crowd of people who saw them off, there was no figure of Mei Changsu, but there was a person who was a little surprised, but seemed to be expected.
Judging from his appearance, Da Chu Zheng made Yu Wenxuan a typical southern Chu person, with sparse eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall body, and somewhat narrow shoulders, which made him look very thin, but his demeanor and actions revealed a strength that could not be ignored.
The Great Chu royal family does not lead troops, so Yu Wenxuan has not directly fought with the Nihuang County Lord, but in any case, everyone in the world knows that the century-old enmity between the Mu clan and the Great Chu who have guarded the southern border in the past dynasties, not to mention that the previous generation of King Mu was killed in battle with the Chu army, and the Nihuang County Lord himself has experienced the battlefield danger of life and death many times.
Therefore, this tomb king of Dachu dared to run outside the Kyoto gate of Daliang to see off the southern female marshal who had been hostile for many years, and he was indeed a little bold.
After seeing the Chu clothes and chariot horses and Chu decorations of this group of comers, Mu Qing's face had already sunk like the bottom of a pot, and on the contrary to him, a proud smile appeared on the face of the Nihuang County Lord.
"I've seen the Nihuang County Lord." Yu Wenxuan got out of the carriage and walked forward quickly to give a salute.
"His Royal Highness the King of Tombs." Nihuang replied, "Is this going out of the city?" β
"Where, I made a special trip to see off the county lord and express my gratitude to the county lord." Laugh lines piled up at the corners of Yu Wenxuan's eyes.
This was a bit surprising, and Nihuang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Thank me for what?" β
"There is a way to fight the world, only the people suffer, I have always advocated that the two countries are at peace with each other, and each does not interfere. However, the lord of our country often admires the elegance of Jinling and always wants to go north. If it weren't for the county lord Shenwei Xiangzhen, I was afraid that there would be a lot of war, so I would like to thank the county lord a lot. β
What he said was strange and the truth seemed to be right, but from the mouth of a Liang royal family like him, it made people feel uncomfortable inexplicably, it seemed that he was really showing favor to Nihuang, and it seemed to be ironic, but when he wanted to refute him, he couldn't find anything to refute.
"Okay, His Royal Highness King Ling's kind words are almost done, please go back, we still have something to say to my sister." Because of his status as an envoy, although Mu Qing was not rude, he couldn't put on a good face.
"This is ......" Yu Wenxuan stared at him twice, looking like he didn't know, and only when his subordinates came over and whispered something, he showed a sudden expression, "Ah, it turned out to be Mu Xiaowangye." Please forgive me for being clumsy, we Chu people have always only known that there is a Nihuang County Lord, and we don't know what Prince Mu has. The battle has been fought by my sister, the little prince is really blessed, what do you usually like to do? Embroidery? It's a pity that my sister didn't come, she loves embroidery the most......"
Even some people from the city government couldn't stand his deliberate agitation, not to mention that Mu Qing, who was young and vigorous, immediately blushed and jumped, but was held down by his sister.
"His Royal Highness the King of Tomb is also very eye-catching," the Nihuang County Lord said coldly, "Nihuang has never seen any trace of His Royal Highness on the battlefield, so it can be seen that he also does not fight, so he also entertains himself with embroidery on weekdays?" β
Yuwen Xuan grinned, but he didn't care, "I'm an idle prince, and it's nothing if I don't fight, but Mu Xiaowangye, as the lord of the border guarding the territory, has never appeared under the banner of the king of the battlefield, isn't it a blessing?" I really envy him......"
Mu Qing was angry, broke free of his sister's hand, and while rushing forward, he pulled out his portable sword, pointed it at Yu Wenxuan's throat, and said loudly: "You listen to me, after I attack the knight, I will naturally not let my sister work hard, if you are a man, don't just use your tongue, you and I will see you on the battlefield!" β
"Tut-tut," Yuwen smacked his lips and laughed, "That's angry?" Now that the marriage between your two countries is imminent, where will there be war? Even if I unfortunately start a war in the future, I said that I would not go to the battlefield, so this cruel remark was of course released by Prince Mu. As for whether I'm a man or not...... Hehe, a little boy like Mu Wangye, I'm afraid he can't judge it......"
The Nihuang County Lord frowned. This Yuwen Xuan has a good mouth, and it is obvious that he is provoking Brother Qing to be angry, but in addition to what he says, there is nothing wrong with it, to deal with people like him, in fact, as long as he is indifferent, he just ignores it at all, but it is a pity that Qing'er's young heart can be stabilized by being ridiculed like this? If you continue to develop like this, you will be embarrassed, if you stop it, you will grow the momentum of the Chu people and extinguish the sharpness of the young brothers; If it is protected, I am afraid that the person will say that the young brother is blessed by his sister's wings, and there is no interest; If you look at it coldly, I am afraid that Brother Qing's tongue is far from that person's opponent......
Just when her eyebrows moved slightly and her heart hesitated, Xiao Jingrui took a step forward and said with a sneer: "His Royal Highness the King of Ling, since you know that the two of you have no chance to win on the battlefield, what are you doing with so much nonsense?" Mu Xiaowang has just become an adult, and his shadow will be indispensable under the king's flag in the future, if you really envy him for being able to command the iron cavalry army in the future, and you can only be idle embroidery, just say it. I don't think Mu Xiaowang will be hesitant to give you a chance to fight in person, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Ling dares to take it? β
Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, don't talk nonsense, what kind of ability is it to provoke in a weird way?" You can fight now, if you don't have the courage to fight me, call your men down, and a few people will do! β
Yan Jinyu saw that although Yu Wenxuan was strong and thin, but his steps were vain, and his martial arts attainments were obviously far inferior to Mu Qing of the martial arts family, he understood in his heart that Xiao Jingrui meant to end the battle of tongues in a weak position, and simply faced it face to face, and also said at the moment: "Our Daliang customs are different from your country, we like to speak with strength, and we don't like to talk, especially men." His Royal Highness the King of Ling, how about you still follow the customs of the locals, spit out a few lotus flowers in your mouth, and save your breath to learn? β
