Chapter 94: The Hundred Flowers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty
With an exclamation, Huaiyu couldn't cry or laugh again: "Didn't you say you wouldn't send it?" β
This thing was a treasure he had recently gotten, and she knew he liked it, so she used it as a joke, and she never thought he really gave it. ziyouge
Jiang Xuanjin glanced sideways, his dark eyes were slightly heavy: "What do you want?" β
"Well, that's what I want." Huaiyu scratched his head, "What kind of gift should I return the gift?" β
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and said, "I'll go back and forth, you don't have to worry about it." β
The New Year's banquet ended with Qingxian being poured unconscious, and the sound of artillery in the first-line city continued until the hour, and the soldiers stationed outside the city were also happily eating meat and drinking wine around the fire, as if they were in their hometown and not on the battlefield.
However. On the first day after the Lunar New Year, Li Huailin issued a secret decree, following the wishes of Situ Jing and others, appointing Ning Zhendong as the general, and transferring troops to the north of Ziyang, the west of Pingling, and the south of Changlin, in case of emergency.
Ning Zhendong was the commander of Yinping County before, and after being discovered by Ziyang Jun, he fled back to Kyoto overnight. This errand should not have been left to him, after all, it was a bit dangerous, and it was not a big success, but somehow, His Majesty pushed him out.
Someone who knew the matter whispered to him: "Concubine Ning Guifei has fallen out of favor for more than half a month, and the last time the adult did not succeed, I thought that Your Majesty was also angry." β
How could Wanwei fall out of favor? Ning Zhendong couldn't understand, didn't her obedient and considerate personality always have a sacred heart?
Indeed, Ning Wanwei entered the palace at the age of sixteen, although she was two years older than the emperor, but she has always been favored, and many people in the harem who wanted to compete with her for the throne failed to succeed. Everyone in the palace felt that as long as the Ning family made some more contributions, the back position would fall on Ning Wanwei's head.
However, now, Li Huailin has not been to Hexi Palace for half a month.
It's not that he doesn't want to go, but since he shook his face willfully last time, Ning Guifei hasn't taken the initiative to ask for peace, he was angry for a few days, and asked the chamberlain and how the palace was doing. But the chamberlain said that the concubine was doing very well.
What does it mean to be very good? Li Huailin felt very uncomfortable, he was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he should be looked up to and remembered, without his favor, why did she live so well?
was originally in Yinping to set up a game for Ziyang Jun, and wanted to take him down directly. Who knew that Ning Zhendong was ineffective, not only let Jiang Xuanjin return to the main city of Ziyang, but also returned to Beijing in embarrassment to ask for guilt. Li Huailin was very angry, thinking about it, he asked Ning Zhendong to go to the palace, and specially asked the chamberlain to pass the word to the palace.
The meaning of this message is very simple: if you make me unhappy, then I will be unkind to your family!
When Concubine Ning heard the news, her face turned a little pale, she hesitated for a moment, tidied up her palace clothes and hairpins, and went to Longyan Palace to ask for peace. She has no grace in the past half a month, and every time she goes to ask for peace, she is obstructed in every way, and today I don't know if the inner servant has a kind heart or what, and she is allowed to enter the temple.
With a relaxed breath, Ning Wanwei went in and saluted: "The concubine greets Your Majesty." β
Li Huailin sat on the dragon chair and said with a cold face: "It's useless to come to ask me now, the large fiefdoms of Changlin, Pingling, Ziyang, and Danyang all have the intention of rebellion, and the situation is already imminent, and there is no one available in the imperial court, so I can only send Lord Ning to go." β
Concubine Ning paused, feeling His Majesty's indifference to her. The heart choked slightly.
From the very beginning, she knew that His Majesty only looked up to her because she was a little like the eldest princess, but she had been by his side for two or three years, and she thought that it could be more or less different, who would have thought that it would be the same, once she lost her affection, she was no different from those people in the cold palace.
Lowering her eyes, Ning Guifei knelt down towards him and kowtowed respectfully: "The concubine just hasn't seen Your Majesty for a long time, come to ask for peace." β
Do you know that you haven't seen you for a long time? Li Huailin's face was dark, and he stared at the recital on the table unhappily, and he was bored for a while before he glanced at her with his afterglow.
With this sweep, I saw a thin face, and my makeup couldn't cover it with a haggard.
Slightly startled, Li Huailin frowned: "What's the matter with you?" β
Ning Guifei didn't know what he meant, so she straightened up blankly and looked down: "Is there anything wrong with the concubine?" β
It's only been half a month, and it's been reduced like this, haven't you noticed it? Or did you deliberately make it look like this and play bitter tricks in front of him? Li Huailin looked at it coldly and felt that the latter was more likely.
He couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and he said: "If you are not used to the brocade clothes and jade food in Hexi Palace, and you can't take care of your body, then it is better to move to Hanlian Xuan, and you can also make room for Concubine Shu." β
Ning Wanwei's face turned white, pinched her sleeves and stared at the weaving flowers on the carpet in a daze.
Hexi Palace is the palace he built for her, and now he wants her to give it to someone else without blinking his eyes.
The emperor's family, are they all so ruthless?
"Silent?" After not getting a response for a long time, Li Huailin was a little impatient.
Slightly relieved, she said in a low voice: "The glory of the concubines is all given by Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to take it back, and the concubines have no complaints." β
The chamberlain standing next to her glanced at her.
I haven't seen a concubine who is stupider than her, if she were a concubine, she would have begged for mercy at this time, that is, she really thought that His Majesty would deal with it.
Li Huailin's face became even heavier, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the imperial desk, and said indifferently: "The noble concubine is lenient and generous, I should also fulfill it, and move out of the Hexi Palace immediately." As for Lord Ning, the concubine can also go and see him off, see you next time, I don't know when it will be. β
Ning Wanwei stiffened, kowtowed to him slowly, got up again, and stumbled out.
The palace maid who heard the news helped her all the way, and said as she walked: "Nianguan Fengjun did not enter Beijing to report on his work, Taichang has already been convicted of rebellion, and now the feudal monarchs of the largest fiefdoms in the Northern Wei Dynasty are hugged together headed by Ziyang Jun, maybe when the fight will start." The adults led the troops at this time. It's really a line between life and death. β
Anxious, Ning Wanwei asked, "Wasn't it okay before?" Why is it suddenly going to be reversed? β
The palace maid whispered: "I heard that it was said that Taiwei Situ and Prime Minister Qi were guilty of Pinglingjun, and His Majesty sent someone to arrest Pinglingjun, but he was stopped by the troops of Changlin, Ziyang, and Nanping, and there was a conflict in the border city of Pingling. β
As soon as this battle is fought, no matter what the facts are, several feudal lords have already boarded a boat.
In fact, even the commander Lin Jun himself didn't know how he suddenly became a member of Ziyangjun's faction, but Ziyangjun was reliable and thoughtful, and after him, several feudal monarchs no longer had to pay taxes to Kyoto, and in just one month, they had a lot of money and food surplus, and all of them were happy on their faces.
People in the world are all for profit. Jiang Xuanjin knew this truth very well, so he didn't deliberately woo them, but only let these people clearly know that ---- be friends with him and have a lot of benefits.
It's just that Chang Linjun is a little worried, that is, if there is a real fight, although their fiefdom is wide, and they add up to half of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but their name is not right, in what name should they confront the imperial court in order to wash away the stigma of rebellion?
This problem ushered in a turning point on the third day after the New Year.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty broke off diplomatic relations with the Northern Wei Dynasty this year, and there were no envoys to and from each other, but Baihuajun entered the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty and went straight down by boat from Pingling all the way to the first-line city.
"What do you say?" Li Huaiyu felt that he might have misheard, "What Jun?" β
Qingsi repeated: "Baihuajun." β
The real ruler of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Qi, who was as famous as Ziyang Jun of the Northern Wei Dynasty, did not go to Kyoto this time, representing the Eastern Jin Dynasty and came to the Princess's Mansion.
Huaiyu was so frightened that she almost fell off the bed. Hurriedly dragged Qingsi and said: "Hurry up and prepare for the ceremony, and let them bring some people to guard!" β
Qingsi soothed: "Jun is ready early in the morning, don't worry." β
"No, no, no, he didn't have enough to prepare." Huaiyu shook his head again and again.
Xu Chuzhuo looked curious next to him, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing so nervous?" β
"You don't know." Huaiyu's face was full of sighs, "There is something wrong with this Baihuajun!" β
In the past, she fought with Jiang Xuanjin because of reception etiquette. That's just that time, and then she never fought again, because it turned out that Jiang Xuanjin knew Murong Qi better than her, the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who had lived in the dark court for more than ten years, and had a strange temper that ordinary people could not adapt to. For Jiang Xuanjin, she is obedient and obedient, but every time she enters the palace, she will make things difficult for Li Huaiyu.
What kind of temper is the eldest princess of Danyang? Seeing that his yin and yang weirdness was not pleasing to the eye, he directly scolded back with the attitude of a tyrant on Chang'an Street. When Daxing was in the seventh year, he also fought with Baihuajun in Feiyun Palace, from the courtyard to the palace gate, although it was a defeat for both sides, but she hurt her face, Murong Qi said to her sideways for this: "Benjun will be taught again in the next year." β
Unfortunately, in the eighth year of Daxing, the eldest princess died.
There's nothing to say if it's really thorough, but she's still alive now, the news is still out, Murong Qi will definitely find her to settle last year's accounts as soon as she comes, if she doesn't prepare more things now. Where are the opponents?
After listening to this, Xu Chuzhuo nodded in understanding, and then reminded her: "Your Highness, you are now protected by Ziyangjun." β
What else are you going to do?
Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's right! β
Jiang Xuanjin is in hand, are you still afraid that people will come to fΓΉ chΓ³u?
The confidence was instantly sufficient, and Huaiyu rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Where are the people?" β
Qingsi said: "At the door, the king means to let you rest for a good time, and then go to see each other after lunch." β
Baihuajun is back in the first-tier city, and if nothing else, it is definitely a resounding slap in the face of the Northern Wei royal family. The royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not interact with the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty this year, and the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually went to the fiefdom.
This is tantamount to treating the land of Ziyang Danyang as an independent country.
When Li Huailin received the news, he didn't even have time to block it, so he could only raise objections to the Eastern Jin Dynasty's approach and write a letter of state condemning the Eastern Jin Dynasty's intention to split the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty did not give any response.
"It's a great favor." Murong Qi sat in the lobby, looked at Jiang Xuanjin and smiled, "How can you thank me?" β
Jiang Xuanjin said lightly: "Don't take an inch. β
In exchange for her trip, he gave a lot of things, this person got cheap and behaved, as difficult as ever.
"Hey. I received news that you are married, and you have changed a lot. But now, why is it still like this? Murong Qi shook his head, "There is still grass growing on the iceberg, you are good, from the inside to the outside." β
Bring it up. Jiang Xuanjin's expression softened: "Have you inquired clearly who I am marrying?" β
"I've inquired, Bai Jia Si xiΗo jiΔ." Murong waived and said, "I came here to meet her." Let's see what kind of beauty she can accept a man like you. β
Jiang Xuanjin nodded and said, "I'll let her come to see you later." β
"By the way, there is also the eldest princess of Danyang, please come too." Murong abandoned grinding teeth. "She's a bastard, she still pulls me on her back before she dies, and she tells people what I gave her Soul Locking Jade to bring back to life, so that my mansion was copied by the emperor!"
One didn't hold back, Jiang Xuanjin hooked his lips.
"Hiss----" Murong Qi gasped and glared at him, "You smiled?" β
She has visited the Northern Wei Dynasty several times, and she has never seen a smile on this Ziyang Jun's face.
Is it going to rain red?
Closing the corners of his mouth, Jiang Xuanjin said to Chengxuan: "Go and ask Mrs. to come over." β
Taking advantage of the void to take the order, Yu Feng stood in place and looked at the shocked look on Baihuajun's face, thinking to himself, what is there to be excited about? It would be nice to stay in the princess's mansion for two more days, and it would be strange to see you!
No one would have thought that Ziyangjun, who had a cold face and was frozen for thousands of miles, would now bend his lips when he mentioned a woman.
When he took advantage of the opportunity to invite someone, he reminded Li Huaiyu very kindly: "Baihuajun said, please ask the eldest princess and Mrs. Jun to go over together." β
Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, and then suddenly. There are ups and downs outside, but there are not many people who really know that Bai Si xiΗo jiΔ is the eldest princess of Danyang, and it is obvious that Murong Qi is not very clear.
Laughing twice, Huaiyu deliberately didn't bring green silk, hugged his stomach and took small steps of lotus flowers, and entered the lobby.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned when she saw that there was no one beside her, got up and came over to help her, slightly annoyed: "Aren't you afraid of falling?" β
"Look at the nervous appearance of the husband, how can the concubine be afraid of falling? Aren't you still there? Changing from the rough voice of the past, Li Huaiyu took his hand with a smile, and his voice was so delicate that he could pinch out water.
The wind behind him was a spirit, and he was covered with goosebumps.
Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was attracted by her "concubine".
Bai Xuanji had called himself like this before, and he sounded very embarrassed, and felt that this title was really a little disgusting.
However, now hearing it from her mouth, Jiang Xuanjin objectively felt that this self-proclaimed was really with a different kind of softness and meekness.
So he looked relieved, gave a low "um", and helped her to sit down next to her.
Murong Qi had a ghostly expression on his face.
"Ah, this is the Hundred Flowers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, right?" Huaiyu gently grasped the handrail and said, "I have admired the name for a long time." β
"Uh, ma'am." Murong renounced unnaturedly.
To be honest, she is very comfortable dealing with Jiang Xuanjin, because Jiang Xuanjin values etiquette but only regulates herself and doesn't care about her. It's more comfortable to deal with Li Huaiyu, she has no rules, she has no rules than her, and she can fight anytime and anywhere.
However, in the face of this kind of soft and weak girl, Murong Qi had the urge to run away if he wanted to.
