Chapter 103: Grace
Go out with your family, go tonight, come back on Monday, and see you next Tuesday~~~
-------------------- this is the dividing line before getting into the car-----------
After Xie Yu was convicted, the patrol battalion he directly managed was temporarily taken over by Ouyang Ji, the battalion commander, but because Ouyang Ji was only a fourth-rank staff general and managed daily affairs, it was absolutely impossible for the supreme command of the entire military camp to be handed over to him. For this reason, the crown prince proposed that the patrol battalion should be under the direct command of the military department, and suggested that this right be withdrawn. Of course, King Yu vigorously opposed this proposal, believing that the military department was an official agency, how to command? Of course, it is still necessary to specify a specific person. However, there are many affairs in the military department, and it is obviously difficult to take up this post, and the other military department officials are not highly qualified, and they are not much better than Ouyang Ji, so it is recommended that a foreign general of the third rank or higher should be selected to return to Beijing to accept this post.
For the patrol battalion, Emperor Liang of course did not attach as much importance to the forbidden army as he did to the forbidden army, but this is not a trivial matter after all, it is related to the safety of the central organs of the imperial city, the princely mansions, and the official residences of the ministers and the balance between them. The crown prince and King Yu had a dispute, and he was very difficult to decide for a while, and it dragged on until the end of July.
The weather in July is already very hot, especially in the afternoon, when the cicadas are irritating. Emperor Liang for the summer heat, the daily affairs have been moved from the Wuying Hall to the Yixian Palace, where the trees are green cages, flowing water on three sides, is the most desolate place in the whole palace, but because of the dense planting of trees, there are also a lot of summer cicadas, and the little eunuchs are busy every day, and they are inexhaustible.
Emperor Liang slept very well when he was young, and he could sleep on his pillow, but after entering old age, he completely reversed, as long as there was a slight sound, it could wake him up and provoke a burst of anger. A few days ago, a little eunuch was pulled out and killed with a rod on the spot because he accidentally dropped a cup and disturbed Emperor Liang's nap. Therefore, as soon as lunch is over, everyone who is in the vicinity of the Holy Driver will immediately become nervous.
On this day, the crown prince Yu Wang had a dispute in the court again, and Emperor Liang was already unhappy after returning to the palace. The little eunuchs were so frightened that they hurriedly took sticky rods around to beat cicadas, and until the end of lunch, there were still occasional weak cicadas chirping.
Gao Zhan, the chief supervisor of the internal supervision, saw that Emperor Liang's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he panicked in his heart, and when he didn't scratch it, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today is Concubine Jing's birthday, don't you go to take a look?" ”
In previous years, Concubine Jing's birthday was spent quietly, except for some items sent by the Inner Court Division in the name of the emperor's reward, it was no different from ordinary days, no one ever thought of reminding the emperor, of course, even if the emperor was reminded, there would be no indication. However, this year, she was newly promoted to a concubine, and her status has improved a little, although she is still unknown, her identity is different in the end, and Gao Zhan's words are not abrupt at this time.
"Concubine Jing's birthday?" Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes, "Have you sent all the rewards?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's all sent over."
Emperor Liang thought for a moment and stood up, "She has been in the palace for so many years, I should also go and see it." Prepare a hundred pieces of brocade, ten pieces of pearls, and ten pieces of jade, and go with me. ”
"Yes." Gao Zhan knew that Emperor Liang would not take a lunch break in the Yixian Hall at least, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew and prepared things while strictly ordering the little eunuch to take this opportunity to kill all the new cicadas, and re-enter the palace after a busy period to serve Emperor Liang to change clothes.
After Concubine Jing was promoted to the throne, she still lived in Zhiluo Courtyard, but the hospital was changed to a palace, and the configuration of internal prison maids and costumes was added according to the system. She has always been an indifferent person, pure and content, should live still as before, has not seen major changes, often still plant medicinal flowers and herbs, repair the garden to pass the time, and renovate her Zhiluo Palace than other places more elegant and chic, fresh and clean.
When Emperor Liang set off, he specially ordered not to report in advance. In front of Zhiluo Palace, I saw a long fragrant vine corridor on the main road of the palace gate, with green leaves and red fruits, very cute, and his face immediately changed a lot.
"You see, Concubine Jing will clean up the house, the atmosphere here is mild and refreshing, although it is not as cool as the Yixian Palace, but it makes people feel comfortable and relaxed......" Emperor Liang just praised, and suddenly felt a little strange, "But will it be too quiet today?" Isn't it Concubine Jing's birthday? Even if there is no congratulatory door, at least there should be a little laughter, right? ”
"It's probably ......" Gao Zhan tried to consider the words, "Concubine Jing is so quiet, there is no feast, if the guests came in the morning, now in the afternoon, people have come and gone, so it is quiet." ”
"You'll find a reason." Emperor Liang glanced at him, "Don't you know?" Concubine Jing is not a celebrity in the palace, but I am afraid that there are few people who remember that today is her birthday. If it is changed to Concubine Yue, let alone in the afternoon, the night is also endless. ”
"Your Majesty." Gao Zhan squeezed out a smirk, "That's Yue Niangniang, who likes to be lively, so everyone is fun." ”
Emperor Liang raised his foot and kicked him, "You can't offend anyone." In this palace, it's good to like to be lively, and it's okay for Concubine Jing to not like it to be lively. ”
"That's what the emperor said." Gao Zhan's waist bent lower, "It's all here, it's time for the slave to go in and inform Jing Niangniang to pick it up, right?" ”
"Shut up. Just help me go. Emperor Liang stretched out his right arm and was carried by Gao Zhan through the rattan corridor, and the palace maids and eunuchs who stood or came and went along the way all knelt down and bowed under Gao Zhan's signal, not daring to make a sound.
Entering the door of the main hall, there was a ten-fold embroidered screen around him, and after the tulle embroidery, there was a faint figure shaking, obviously Concubine Jing was behind the screen.
Emperor Liang was about to scare her out of the air, but a voice suddenly came out from behind the screen, and when he heard it, it was Xiao Jingyan.
Emperor Liang was a little surprised at the beginning, and then thought about it, if Jing Yan didn't come today, he would be afraid that he should be surprised, and the reason why he didn't expect him to be here was because he took too little care of these two mothers and sons, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
"Mother's craftsmanship is really getting better and better, this lily brew, it is not comfortable to eat in summer, when the sons are leading the troops outside, if there is a shortage of food and grass, they will naturally have to suffer with the soldiers, and when they are hungry, they will think about the medicinal food made by their mother to satisfy their hunger." King Jing said with a smile, "If it weren't for the hard work of my mother, I really want to be able to eat it every day." ”
Concubine Jing's voice was gentle and loving, and she seemed to be coercing food for her son, "I'm not afraid of hard work, but you can't come in at will, it's also a matter of no choice." When you come, eat more. I made golden dumplings and mung bean cakes, which you can take back to eat when you leave. ”
"Thank you."
"Come, try this Poria chicken ......"
"Hmm."
Listening to the homely gossip inside, Emperor Liang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and coughed intentionally. The mother and son in the screen were suddenly shocked, King Jing first flashed out to inspect, saw Emperor Liang at a glance, his face changed, and he immediately turned over and bowed down, Concubine Jing took a few steps forward, and also raised her skirt and bowed, saying: "The concubine doesn't know that His Majesty is coming, and she has missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”
"Get up." Emperor Liang gently supported her arm, and ordered King Jing again: "You can also be flat." ”
Emperor Liang didn't send anyone to report first, and he came in quietly, originally wanting to see Concubine Jing's surprise, but now people are surprised, but when Gao Zhan arranged to send the gift in, he didn't see how happy she was, he still looked calm and thanked him softly. Emperor Liang turned his head to look at her son again, and behaved similarly, not seeing how overjoyed he was at his mother's favor.
Emperor Liang, who was accustomed to being flattered and accustomed to seeing everyone fighting endlessly for his favor, felt a little more uncomfortable.
"When did Jing Yan come over?" Leaning on the soft couch, Emperor Liang asked.
"Back to my father, my son will arrive in the afternoon."
"Your mother's birthday, why didn't you come early in the morning to say goodbye?"
Concubine Jing hurriedly said: "It was the concubine who ordered him to come back in the afternoon." In the morning, I want to sit with the queen, and I have to kneel for the queen mother, and I can't see him when he comes. ”
"Well......" Emperor Liang nodded, although his expression was light, but his tone was quite peaceful, and he looked at King Jing and said words of praise, "Recently, I have done a few things to Jing Yan very well, I am very satisfied, and I have been saying that I want to reward you, but there are many things and they have been delayed." Now it's just in front of your mother, tell me what you want? ”
King Jing was a little surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while. But when he asked in person, he couldn't help but answer, so he quickly thought about it and said: "Back to my father, my son's ministers will do their errands, and I don't dare to expect rewards." Since his father was so loving, his son dared to ask for a mercy and ask his father to pardon a sinner who served in exile in Lingnan. ”
"Sinners?" Emperor Liang was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but feel suspicious, frowning and saying, "What sinner?" What kind of madman is a man who is highly respected, but prefers to talk nonsense about the government and politics? You have always been loyal, how can you learn this method of selling fame and fame and attracting people's hearts? Who taught you? ”
was suddenly reprimanded, but King Jing did not panic, first knelt down and pleaded guilty, and then said: "This sinner is just a commoner, nameless and hopeless, just because he forgot to avoid the holy ancestor in the article during the scientific examination, and committed a great crime of disrespect, so he was exiled by Zhulian......"
Emperor Liang's face paleated slightly, "A nameless and hopeless commoner, how can you work to plead with him?" ”
"Please forgive your majesty," Concubine Jing stepped forward and said, "This person is still a country scholar, and his concubine studied medicine from him when he was young, and he has been under his care for many years. A month ago, the concubine heard that he was exiled to Lingnan, poor old and twilight, still suffering from hard labor, but because of the great disrespect, this amnesty is not among them, I am afraid that in the future I will die of old age in a foreign land, and it will be difficult for the soul to return, so the concubine is very unbearable in her heart, and she sighed with Jing Yan, but she didn't expect him to remember it in her heart...... If Your Majesty wants to be strange, it is really the crime of a concubine. ”
"So that's the case," Emperor Liang smiled at this time, "You are soft-hearted." In fact, this is nothing, Jing Yan is a prince, looking for someone in the house to make an idea, how can there be a way to save him back, where is the need to ask me for forgiveness? Let's exchange it for a different reward. ”
King Jing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was faintly unhappy in his heart, endured it, and kowtowed: "The son thinks that only the saint has the right to forgive the great crime of disrespect." Even if the son is a prince, there is no other way to think about it. In order to solve my mother's worries, I hope that Your Majesty will grant me. ”
Emperor Liang looked at him deeply, but he heard the unspoken meaning of his words a little, his heart moved slightly, and he sighed: "You are still this stubborn temper that would rather not bend." But you don't abuse your authority, and you can keep yourself clean, and I'm very comforted. You have given permission to what you have requested, and you will give your decree on the same day. ”
"Son's thanks."
Emperor Liang raised his hand and told him to get up, and stood beside him. I usually don't pay much attention, but today I looked seriously, and suddenly found that this son was tall and heroic, but he had never felt that he was so pleasing to the eye, and a thought couldn't help but flash in his mind.
"Jing Yan, you are a skilled soldier in leading troops, I want to hand over the patrol battalion to you for control, how about it?"
