Chapter 421: Bow and arrow, royal guard

Compared with other places in the palace, Concubine Wuxian's Changle Palace is about a place with a lot of laughter and laughter, and even the palace people and eunuchs are a little less afraid of avoidance. At this time, a person in charge of the palace came over with a few snacks from the light palace NV, and tiptoed out together, Concubine Ji immediately washed her hands and personally served King Zhou to eat, while Concubine Wu Xian was holding her grandson by herself and laughing happily, as if she didn't care at all that the eldest princess of An Guo pulled Chen Lan to the room to whisper.

"You met King Jin at my place?" After listening to Chen Lan's explanation, the eldest princess of Anguo sank slightly, and then sneered, "He is now full of energy to be a virtuous king, and he also invited himself to supervise the history of the country before" It seems that he is wholeheartedly drilling in those old papers, and he has no ambition at all, but the government and the opposition praise him for his ancient style. What's going on, who can't see it with a discerning eye? I brought Mei'er over to raise her before, because I felt sorry for her motherless at a young age, whether it was a step-concubine or other side rooms in the palace in the future, I wouldn't be sincere to her, and I ended up emptying him! He came to me in a more justified way, so that I simply hid directly to Concubine Xian. ”

"Mother!"

Chen Lan was full of anger when he heard the voice of the eldest princess of Anguo, and he had to open his mouth. Sure enough, the next moment, I saw someone hammer the armrest, and then held his forehead and fell back, and sighed helplessly: "It's still King Jing's worry, what was it like before, and what it is now." And now that I've married a virtuous princess, "that reputation has finally been covered." Didn't I tell you about your uncle before? Do you know that the emperor transferred Shuquan back at the beginning of the year for the sake of Wei Guogong and wanted to go far away in Yunnan, but today, several civil officials who had close contacts with the King of Jin wrote a letter recommending the Korean Duke to take charge of the Chinese military governor's mansion? Then they praised Shuquan again, and they had the intention of asking the emperor to put pressure on him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lan was stunned. Immediately after, a solemn expression appeared on her face. Although the princess of Jin has passed away, Han Gong was once the father-in-law of King Jin after all, and because of this roundabout relationship, the calculations of others have a foothold. This is no longer a question of appreciating or not appreciating affection, but if the emperor had planned to do so, he would have given people a horizontal bar, but he was afraid that he would inevitably save mustard in his heart, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After being silent for a while, she suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "Mother, how is the war in Liaodong now?" ”

"The war in Liaodong?" Chen Lan suddenly crossed over this incident and suddenly asked about the war in Liaodong, and the eldest princess of Anguo was suddenly a little surprised, and then laughed and said, "What else, just two border X countries, really think that they have a lot of ability, dare to go against the Heavenly Empire?" They thought that they had saved a lot of naval wealth in maritime trade for many years, so they thought that our dynasty really had no preparation at all? It's just a stubborn resistance, because of the submission of the book in the West and the South Seas, and the great decline of the power of the Jiangnan Academy, they are sinking the boat, but what they don't know is that the imperial court has long had the intention to start in the Northeast, and the battle at the beginning was caught off guard, but then it won one after another, and the reason is this. Of course, the soldiers of Zhendong Hou Jīn are also indispensable...... By the way, why do you ask this? ”

"I'm just thinking that the Marquis of Zhendong and His Royal Highness King Jing are good, now that the war situation in Liaodong is favorable, the Marquis of Zhendong who is leading the town may want to add officials to the knighthood, and no matter where he goes, his words will naturally have different weights. Although the Marquis of Zhendong is a marquis, in terms of the real foundation credit and even the subordinates, no one in the dynasty can compare with this and add another seal, and he may replace Wei Guogong as the first military minister in one fell swoop. At that point......"

Chen Lan didn't continue with the rest of the words, but how wise the eldest princess of An Guo was, how could she not hear the meaning of those words. The emperor vaguely revealed some meaning before her, if you look at it this way, "Those civil officials wrote a book to praise Yang Jinzhou, then it was really a drunkard's intention not to drink."

"Do they want Shuquan to go to Liaodong and rob the Marquis of Zhendong for opening up the territory? Also, among the generals, King Jin has no one else available. ”

Chen Lan didn't answer, "And the chief minister of An Guo is not answering." At this moment, she stood up and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched, and after a long time, she turned around and sat down next to Chen Lan, but she reached out and pinched her cheek with a cold smile.

"You, you've been idle in Jiangnan for a long time, and you're still as sharp as before, and I've been worried about you for a long time before I lost it!" Seeing that Chen Lan was taken aback by her action, she quickly moved back as soon as she withdrew her hand, and she smiled again, "But when you say this, it's probably not just about taking out all your uncles, right?" Although it is said that the battlefield is thousands of miles away to seek the marquis, that is the ambition of many men, but we are NV people, I am afraid that it is not the general who died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud is still there? ”

Although the latter sentence was a casual pick of two familiar words, the eyes of the eldest princess of An Guo suddenly became sharp. It's just that under the gaze that could even make the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty avoid looking directly, Chen Lan looked back calmly.

"Mother, if I say that I now enjoy the honor and have my fate, I naturally hope that my husband will be safe and sound, and I don't have to worry about it all day long. It's just that he is in his early twenties, a male husband, and it is inevitable that he will still have ambitions, and it is not yet time to retire. Even though he respects me and loves me, "he will never like me to hinder him in these great things." If the emperor orders him to go, I will naturally pack up for him and serve my mother-in-law at home. If the emperor didn't think about it, I would be happy for the couple to continue to live a peaceful life. ”

"Lanlan, you know what? When I set sail for the Ryukyus, that's what your father said. ”

The gaze of the eldest princess of Anguo softened suddenly, leaning there, her face showed a little melancholy: "Although I am NV, I can be raised like a boy from X, I was young and vigorous at that time, and I always want to prove that women don't let me shave my eyebrows." It's your father, he said that although I want to live a leisurely life, but I love to fight and kill, and I have the emperor's order, so I opened my bow, and he could only help hand the arrows in the back, and then shouted in my heart to pray to the gods and Buddhas to protect my fortune and life, and everything is safe, so that I can be satisfied after I succeed, and I will live in peace in the future.

At this moment, Chen Lan finally couldn't help it. But you can laugh out loud, "There was a loud laugh outside. The next moment, I saw the curtain being raised high, and then the emperor, dressed in regular clothes, walked slowly into the house. Chen Lan, who hadn't heard any movement outside before, was stunned for a moment, and the eldest princess of Anguo also widened her eyes, and then covered her forehead with a sigh.

"It's over, such a humiliating thing has been heard!" , The emperor rarely saw such an expression of the eldest princess of Anguo, and suddenly laughed dumbly. But Chen Lan immediately jumped up, and was about to bow to the ground, but saw the emperor wave his hand casually and said: "Don't kneel around, I listened to the corner of the wall outside for a while, and then disturbed your mother's chatting Yaxing." It's just that this time I bumped into the right one, first, I heard your mind, and second, I ...... Ninth sister, there were so many young and handsome people back then, you singled out Zhang Ling, and you really had a good eye. ”

"What I just heard, please rot in your stomach, don't let my family hear it!" The eldest princess of Anguo finally stood up, but her face was not very good-looking while saluting, "It's the sentence when I opened my bow and handed him the arrow!" ”

"I know, I still don't understand you and him?" After teasing a sentence, the emperor skimmed over this stubble and didn't mention it, turned sideways and looked at Chen Lan very much, he nodded and said, "Yes, in the past two or three years in Jiangnan, people's jīn qi and spirit are different, but fortunately, your mind is still as flexible as it was back then, and you have not rusted because of your leisure days." ”

Chen Lan was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head and said nothing. Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to go deeper on this issue" After sitting down, he said: "Your fourth brother has followed the ninth sister and Han Mingyi over the years, and he has made considerable progress in civil and military affairs, and the important thing is to deal with people and things and the way to advance and retreat. He was still X years old before, but now he will get married next year. Although Du Weifang doesn't value the rank of nv son-in-law, it is difficult for others to avoid vulgarity, so let him be added to the palace guard first. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Lan, but even the eldest princess of An Guo was taken aback. Although the Commander is just a nice title, with no real power, and only a seven-rank false title, for those noble families who have not yet been canonized, which son is blessed with a Knight, even if he cannot be knighted in the future, it is also a promising future. It's like Chen Lan's biological father Chen Wei was named a captain and a guard, but later he lost this title because of his misdeeds, not to mention the inheritance of the title.

After a while, the eldest princess of An Guo came to her senses, and urged with a smile: "Lan Lan, don't you thank you yet?" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

Chen Lan hurriedly commanded the spear, and when she stood up, she was still excited in her heart. If it was in the past, she only hoped that Chen Yan would be more low-key, but since her younger brother said those words solemnly last time, even if this seven-rank guard was not enough to make the Zhu family old man feel great comfort, it was also a talisman for him, "It just depends on whether he can grasp it."

The emperor didn't stay long, asked Chen Lan about Jiangnan, and chatted with the eldest princess of Anguo. This time, the mother and NV sent it out together. When the uninvited Buddha is sent away," Princess An Guo glared at Concubine Wu Xian as soon as she turned around: "The emperor is here, you don't make a sound to wake up!" ", "As soon as the emperor came in, he made a gesture of silence" Even Taikan immediately covered his mouth when he saw it, Jing'er didn't say a word, how could I remind you out loud? Concubine Wu Xian shook her head angrily and funny, and then ignored the angry Princess Anguo, beckoned Chen Lan and said with a smile, "Your family x four wives, it's not good for me to add boxes to his future daughter-in-law, when I get married, Tai Kan has to quietly go and see the excitement, you have a preparation in your heart." I don't want to alarm others, when the time comes, your brother-in-law Dai will take people over
