The snow melts in winter, and spring arrives.

The old branches sprout new shoots, the young leaves stretch vigorously, and when the green reaches thick, there are summer cicadas hiding in the middle, chirping tirelessly.

At the beginning of July, there was a heavy rain, which added to the coolness of the night.

So far, Shi Jingzhi has been ordered to lead troops to the Western Regions for more than a year and a half.

……

The slender young man, dressed in armor and armor draped over the night, dismounted in front of the military tent.

"General!"

"The general is back!"

The soldiers saluted one after another, their movements were neat, but there were many smiles on their faces.

Shi Jingzhi bowed to them and walked into the commander's tent with Meng Dazhu.

Not long after, Yan Ming, who had just changed the medicine for Shi Jingzhi, saw a soldier come to the tent quickly, stopped the person first, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Doctor Yan, there are people outside the camp who ask to see the general!"

"Military newspapers?"

The soldier thought for a moment and shook his head: "No. ”

"Then it's gone." Yan Ming frowned and said, "What time has it been, he has to recuperate from his injuries now." ”

He hadn't seen anyone in his tent for more than a year!

This battle is finally over, and it's time for people to rest-

Otherwise, when he returned to the capital, he would not be able to explain to the princess, but he would not be able to please his "father-in-law", not to mention that there was a saint who sent a message to him from time to time to "greet" him!

"But ......" The soldier looked left and right, and then lowered his voice, "But there is a lady among the people who came, and the lady's chauffeur also took out the general's festival envoy token!" ”

Decree of the Festival?

Yan Ming was stunned.

Although the lady was sitting in the car, she looked faintly and was so handsome...... And there is a teenage girl, Doctor Yan, do you think they will be ......? The soldier glanced at the tent, looking nervous and curious.

It's not a good thing to know too much, but ...... Love is the gossip that licks blood on the tip of this knife!

That Jiedu envoy order is an old thing when the general was still in Yingzhou!

Could it be that it is a romantic debt left by the general in his early years...... Bastard daughters are so big?!

The beautiful outer room chases her husband with a woman for thousands of miles!

But in this case, how will the general explain to the princess!

This, hey!

The soldier's expression grew worried.

"I'll take a look." Yan Ming walked briskly to the outside of the camp.

The soldiers hurriedly followed - Doctor Yan was going to send the pair of "mother and daughter" for the general?

When Yan Ming arrived, Heng Yu had just gotten out of the carriage.

The soldier really saw the face clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned - the lady was sitting in the car and couldn't see it very clearly...... How do you look like you're in your twenties?

Looking at the teenage girl again, the soldier couldn't help but realize that Fang Cai's speculation was a little untenable.

At this time, I saw that Doctor Yan had already raised his hand to salute-

"I've seen the princess, princess."

Soldier: "?! ”

"It's been a long time since I saw Doctor Yan."

"Why did the princess come here?"

Heng Yu walked over with Jiayi with a smile and looked at the barracks lights behind Yan Ming: "I heard that the war is about to be decided, so I stopped by to take a look-is he not in the camp?" ”

Yan Ming smiled: "Princess, please come with me." ”

Jiayi followed Hengyu to the barracks, looking around curiously.

There were also countless pairs of more curious eyes around them.

"Wang ...... Princess?! ”

The burly man who came towards him recognized Hengyu and saluted in amazement.

Heng Yu stopped with a smile: "Vice General Zhou." ”

"The princess still remembers her subordinates!" Vice General Zhou was flattered, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Quick, the princess is here, let people kill something!" ”

Jiayi was surprised - what did you kill?

"Don't be afraid! It's to kill sheep, kill sheep! Vice General Zhou, who had never seen Jiayi, laughed, led the way, and followed Hengyu to the coach's tent.

Soon, the news of the princess's arrival spread.

"Why is it so noisy?" Hearing the movement outside the tent, Meng Dazhu said: "I won a few battles, but I got carried away. ”

So saying, he went out of the tent to look out.

However, the movement outside the tent soon became more and more noisy.

The noise was mixed with joy.

"What's the matter, this is." Mr. Su, who was sitting on the left and right with Yan Junshi, looked in the direction of the tent in confusion.

Shi Jingzhi also raised his eyes.

The next moment, the curtain was raised.

A figure in a sandalwood cloak suddenly appeared in his sight.

After a short period of stunnedness, Shi Jingzhi stood up stiffly: "Ah Heng! ”

Heng Yu smiled at him, and then looked at Yan Junshi and Mr. Su: "Didn't disturb your discussions?" ”

"It turned out that Ji Niangzi had arrived!" Mr. Su got up with "oops" and was pleasantly surprised: "I said how can it be so lively outside!" ”

Shi Jingzhi had already walked over from behind the case and came to Hengyu, the smile in his eyes had overflowed: "Since you have come to the Western Regions, why don't you let people send a message early?" Was the journey smooth? ”

Heng Yu looked at him with a smile, and did not immediately reply to his words, but looked at Jiayi who walked in behind him.

Shi Jingzhi followed her line of sight, his face returned to normal, and he raised his hand and saluted: "Princess." ”

Jiayi hurriedly returned the salute, calling him "Uncle Shishi" in his mouth.

The other people in the tent also saluted Jiayi, making her uncomfortable, and said abruptly: "You are all heroic elders who have been facing the enemy in the Western Regions for a long time regardless of their lives, so Jiayi deserves it——"

As he spoke, he took a step closer to Hengyu's side, and said in a sincere tone: "I came with the teacher this time, and I have no intention of disturbing the army, and I ask you not to be rigid about etiquette, let alone bother with Jiayi." ”

Looking at this eldest daughter of the emperor who was young but did not have the slightest pampering and arrogance, Yan Junshi and the others all smiled and nodded.

Sensing that a finger touched his hand, Heng Yu held it and raised his eyes to a pair of smiling eyebrows.

……

Because of Hengyu's sudden arrival, the atmosphere in the barracks was high.

The soldiers slaughtered sheep and roasted meat to make soup, the bonfire was lit, and Hengyu drank and enjoyed with Shi Jingzhi and the soldiers.

Mr. Su was in a good mood and began to chant poetry.

“…… You guys, have something to cheer up the princess! The adjutant surnamed Zhou ordered a few capable subordinates to perform "talents".

Some people dance knives, some play with guns, and some people use fists and feet, and they work very hard.

Hengyu was also very applauded, and applauded with Jiayi's palms.

Shi Jingzhi took a sip of wine and glanced at her: "Is I dancing well?" ”

Hengyu blinked: "Then you dance and take a look?" ”

Seeing that he was about to raise his sword and get up, Yan Ming on the side immediately pressed the person: "You are injured, what kind of dance!" ”

The winner and the loser desire love brain should also divide the situation, okay!

"You're hurt?" Heng Yu smiled, and immediately snatched the wine jug from his hand: "Then what kind of wine are you drinking?" Where is the injury, and is it serious? ”

"Right in the chest, almost breaking my heart!" At the mention of this, Yan Ming chattered: "When you change the dressing every day, you have to rely on luck, and you can't even see a human figure!" It's good that the princess is here, and now I will return him to the princess, and if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me! ”

Shi Jingzhi didn't interrupt him, and when he heard him exaggerate about his injury, he only felt that it was different from the usual pleasant ears.

Heng Yu hated to immediately drag the person back to the tent and took off his robe to check the injury.

Half an hour later, she did.

At first, she felt that the injury was indeed not light-

After that, she felt that the injury was still too light......

……

……

Different from the lively atmosphere in the Shijia military camp, the Tubo army, which had suffered successive defeats in the past few months, was already sluggish and discouraged.

Shi Jingzhi once again personally led the army to pursue the victory, and after a few days of fighting, the Tubo army lost tens of thousands, retreated one after another, and the back fortress was also cut off.

……

"Tibet has descended!"

"General Shi has won!"

The news spread in the cities and counties of the Western Regions, and the people rushed to celebrate.

……

There is no end in sight to the desert, and the horse's hooves gallop, raising sand and dust.

Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi rode their horses in front, and Meng Dazhu and Cheng Ping escorted Jiayi to follow behind.

"This is the desert!"

After dismounting, Jiayi held the reins with a look of amazement in her eyes.

The boundless desert is endless, and a golden sun is about to set.

Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi walked side by side and walked forward slowly.

……

The news of the great victory in the Battle of the Western Regions soon spread back to the Jingshi.

In the early dynasty, Emperor Guanning was long-faced, but he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The rivers and grasslands of the Western Regions are highlands, and they always have to march long distances, run in a roundabout way, and it is difficult to step by step...... It was a tough battle. ”

"It's not easy to win this time."

"When Jingzhi returns, I will reward him and the soldiers!"

In addition to the hundreds of officials, even though they have their own plans for King Fan Yang's great achievements, it is undeniable that this battle can be won, which is really exciting.

The people are also excited about this.

In the anticipation of the people of Beijing, the triumphant division finally returned to Beijing on the tenth day of the lunar month.

The people greeted each other.

"Shi Jiajun is back!"

An old man nodded tearfully: "Yes, Shi Jiajun, I'm back......"

"Ah Weng, did you think of Shu Guogong?" The little boy next to the old man was also a little touched.

However, the next moment, he saw his own Ah Weng "babbling", stretched out his head to look at the young general led by him, and his face was swept away with grief: "No, which is the girl on horseback next to General Shi!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were shocked, and he exclaimed, "...... Shouldn't it be like in the book, the general went out to fight, and when he returned to Beijing, he brought back a lonely woman who lost her relatives in the war, so wouldn't it be ...... next?"

"Ah Weng ......" The young man interrupted the old man helplessly: "Take a closer look, isn't that Master Ji?" ”

"Bachelor Ji?" The old man took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, oh...... Ah, that's fine. ”

In the palace of King Fanyang in Beijing, it is very lively at the moment.

In addition to Mrs. Xiao, everyone from the Ji family, Jiang Zhengfu, and Bai Shenyi are also waiting here.

This battle lasted for two years, and Hengyu took Jiayi out to travel for a year and a half, this time the two returned home safely together, and as soon as they stepped into the gate of the palace, they were surrounded by hulala.

"It's back!"

"Ah Heng, come and tell me to take a look...... Take this hand stove! ”

"Little aunt, little aunt!"

"How did you lose weight?"

"This battle is really not easy to ......"

"Quick, get in and talk!"

“……”

In the midst of laughter, Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi were almost pushed into the hall.

……

Emperor Guanning paced back and forth in the Ganlu Palace, and from time to time he had to ask the attendant: "Have you come here?" ”

The queen on the side smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty is too anxious, when King Fan Yang has been fighting outside for a long time, he always has to go back to his home to see the two elders first, and then come to see His Majesty after washing the dust and changing clothes." ”

"Yes, human nature, within the rules......" The young emperor nodded, finally sat down, and after a while, he got up again-

sighed heavily: "I originally said that I would go outside the city to greet me, but you don't approve of it!" ”

The queen became more and more helpless: "Your Majesty is so cold, and I was so happy last night that I didn't close my eyes all night, where is it suitable to leave the palace?" ”

Jiayi, who was sitting on the couch and coaxed her sister to play with Luban locks, sighed: "My father is the least worry-free one now." ”

She also came back with the army, but they separated when they approached Jingshi and returned to the palace two days early.

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and sighed: "Our Yi'er went out to gain knowledge, but we disliked my father's father. ”

As he spoke, he sat back down: "Waiting is waiting, why don't you tell your father about what you have seen and heard in the past year or so——"

The queen looked at her eldest daughter, whose words and deeds were becoming more and more calm, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

They were so clever - they chose the best teacher for themselves.

……

King Fanyang returned to Beijing for a few days, and many rewards and rewards did not need to be mentioned, and every morning after the court, it was inevitable that he would be intercepted by the emperor and stay in the palace for dinner.

According to the rumored chamberlain, on the first day, King Fan Yang had refused.

On the second day, His Majesty was reminded by the princess and thought of a good idea.

"Your Majesty invites the prince to go to the Ganlu Hall to share lunch—"

"I'm tired of returning to Your Majesty, and I'll say this king—"

The chamberlain continued, "Master Ji is also here. ”

“…… Then the king will pass. ”

Therefore, Hengyu spent seven or eight days of lunch in the Ganlu Hall in a row.

The snow fell on this day, and after the meal, the emperor stayed to speak, and Hengyu was pulled by Jiayi to the study of the Ganlu Hall to enjoy the plum scenery in the snow.

"Teacher, look, is this plum tree very different, quite a graceful appearance?" Jiayi pointed to Xuemei outside the window and asked Hengyu.

Hengyu looked over, and there was a moment of distraction.

She had never been here before.

But a long time ago, she had heard another person praise with a smile on her face—there was an old plum tree outside the study of the Ganlu Palace, and her demeanor was wonderful.

The snow was falling like goose feathers.

"Lady...... The snow is getting heavier, so let's go back to our room. ”

In the Xiaoye Temple, a blue-gray figure stood under the corridor, his eyes fixed, and he didn't know where he was looking.

The cloak obscured one of her mutilated arms, and her body was weakened like grass and trees, but there seemed to be endless flames burning in her eyes.

“…… He's back, isn't he? ”

"Yes." Qi Zhen was behind her and replied in a low voice: "King Fan Yang's victory is still ...... The Western Regions have been decided, and the war in Nanzhao has also subsided. ”

The emaciated figure let out a low, shrill laugh.

"It's really ......" the voice gritted its teeth slightly, "Good luck." ”

"You say, is it that even the heavens are biased towards them?" She raised her eyes and stared at the blue-gray sky where the snow was falling: "Why are all good things and good fortune taken away by them?" Where is the difference between them! In the war in the southwest, this palace also has the ability to calm down, but why do you never give this palace a chance! Is it just because this palace was born as a daughter! ”

"Heaven and earth are pregnant with men and women, why is it so unfair!"

"The same surname is Li, the emperor's brother is stupid and incompetent, and Chang'er is soft-hearted...... And this palace has never had a weakness, where in the end did it lose! ”

She asked, and suddenly coughed heavily.

Qi Zhen hurriedly held the person up: "Lady......"

"You say, you say...... Why is Heaven so unjust because of the distinction between men and women...... Are you going to wipe out all the efforts of this palace? ”

“……”

The snow kept falling.

“…… It's been more than ten days since you returned to Beijing, and I've only seen you twice! ”

As soon as Heng Yu came out of the Manna Palace, he was stopped by Pei Wushuang.

"You're really busy now." Pei Wushuang took Hengyu's hand, his tone was strange, but there was always a smile in his eyes.

"I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and there are many things that need to be taken care of in Chongwen Pavilion." Heng Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you go to Chongwen Hall with me to listen to the lecture?" ”

"How can that be...... I am a harem concubine, how can I go to Chongwen Pavilion. Pei Wushuang shook his head: "Let those imperial histories know, it's time to point fingers again." ”

"It's just a fight at most, they can't argue with me anyway." Hengyu's tone was unconcerned, but he also sensed the change in his friend.

Even though the emperor and queen are benevolent, how can they really be unrestrained in this deep palace.

"Forget it, that's not going to work, I'm going to doze off when I hear that.

Ah Heng, don't you know, I was late when I asked the queen to say goodbye the day before yesterday, but I was laughed at by them. ”

"I finally know why the women in the palace have been so easy to fight each other since ancient times, and they can't sleep well every day, because everyone has the gas to get up."

“…… The little princess of Jia'an is so cute, I want to steal her to my Qingyu Xuan to raise...... Shhh ”

"Ah Heng, where have you been for more than a year?"

"Have you passed through Jiangnan?"

It's still the same as before.

But...... It must be lonely, right?

Hengyu held her friend and answered her words, walking as slowly as possible, and then slowly.

……

Two days later, Pei Wushuang and the queen said goodbye and returned to Qingyu Xuan, almost jumping up with joy.

"The queen mother specially allows me to go out of the palace to visit home during the Shangyuan Festival after the New Year!"

The maidservants who entered the palace with her were also very happy.

Concubines are usually not allowed to leave the palace, let alone meet their families in private, and they have not stepped out of the palace since they entered the palace two years ago.

Looking at Pei Jieyu in front of her, who was overjoyed because she could finally see her parents, the maid smiled and smiled, her eyes were inexplicably sour.

……

Soon it was time for the yamen to seal it.

On the occasion of the dispersal of the last early dynasty of the previous year, the emperor asked the chamberlains to hand over a "treatise on seeing and hearing" to the hands of the hundred officials: "I occasionally got a student of this theory, which is quite interesting to read, and I hope that the princes will appreciate and comment together in their spare time." ”

All officials should be lowered.

Therefore, this "theory of seeing and hearing" seems to have become a "topic" for officials during the New Year.

Some people carefully tasted it, some people tried to figure out the Sacred Heart through it, and some generals who were not very familiar with literature and ink were confused and simply put it aside.

Shi Jingzhi naturally got this theory - well, he is the kind that he has thrown aside.

After all, it's just a matter of watching it early.

On this day, as soon as Hengyu returned to Ji's house, he heard his brother praise the "Theory of Seeing and Hearing", "...... The vision and aura are all ready, and I don't know who wrote it? I read about the Rise last night, and I really wanted to meet it! ”

Hengyu smiled: "I think Brother will have a chance sooner or later." ”

Ji Nanxian didn't delve into the meaning of his sister's words, looked behind her, and asked curiously: "Why, the one in your family didn't come with you today?" ”

"He was left in the palace to play chess with the saint, and he couldn't get out of it for a while."

This is true, especially the second half of the sentence -

When Shi Jingzhi left from the palace, it was almost dusk, rushed back to the palace, and when he heard that Hengyu went to Ji's house, he hurriedly came over, and when he dismounted in front of the gate of Ji's house, Hengyu just picked up chopsticks and ate the first bite of food.

Hearing that people came to say, "Uncle is here", everyone put down their chopsticks, Hengyu took the chopsticks to tidy up the dishes that had just been clipped, and nodded with satisfaction.

When Shi Jingzhi came in, she said calmly: "I knew that you would come, but I didn't move my chopsticks, I was waiting for you!" ”

Mrs. Meng, Ji Nanxian and the others also smiled and nodded tacitly.

Shi Jingzhi pretended not to see the little oil stain on the corner of her lips, took the face of the door, and sat down beside her.

"Who loses and who wins?" Hengyu asked him casually.

Shi Jingzhi picked up the chopsticks and said, "The saint lost three games in a row. ”

Heng Yu was surprised: "Why do you have such a strong desire to win?" ”

"If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have let me out of the palace."

"......" Hengyu nodded: "This is also true." ”

"Eat fish." Shi Jingzhi first added a piece of thornless tender meat from the belly of the fish and sent it to her plate.

Heng Yu just picked it up and brought it to his mouth, only to feel that it was too fishy, but he didn't want to live up to his kindness, but as soon as he swallowed it, he felt a surge in his stomach.

She frowned and turned her head away.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong with Ah Heng?"

"Doctor Bai is not at home, let's go outside and ask a Lang Zhong to take a look-"

Ning Yu said: "It looks like you have a cold?" ”

Yu stood up suddenly: "! ”

This situation, this configuration, how can it be a cold!

Generally speaking, it's definitely —

"Ah Hengmo is not pregnant!" The sister-in-law guessed enthusiastically.

There was silence all around.

"Ah Heng......" Shi Jingzhi looked at Hengyu with a nervous expression.

Hengyu was also stunned, calculated the days carefully, and his heart jumped a few times.

"What are you waiting for, please Lang Zhong." Old Madam Meng urged.

……

An hour later, seeing a Lang Zhong being sent out of the gate of the Ji family, the white divine doctor who had just returned from outside frowned-he had only been out for half a day, and someone was going to shake his position?

It can't be any emergency?

Thinking like this, he walked briskly to the antechamber, and was listening to the joyful voices of the people planning for the future—

"You're saying that's secondary...... If you want me to say, the top priority at the moment is to inform Aunt Xiao of Ah Heng's happy events as soon as possible! Ji Nanxian said with a smile.

"What? Bun in the oven! ”

Doctor Bai was shocked, and rushed into the hall quickly, looking at Heng Yu who was sitting on a chair surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help but pat his forehead with regret - such a big color head was not opened by him himself!

knew that this was the case, even if Lao Yan's wine was delicious, it would be impossible for him to go out!!

……

This year, Mrs. Xiao wrote "Double Happiness Coming to the Door" on her face, and she couldn't smile in front of people during the day, and when she stayed at night, she would laugh out loud from time to time.

When facing his daughter-in-law, he did everything possible to ask for warmth and care.

When facing his son, he taught his son how to greet his daughter-in-law and how to care for his daughter-in-law.

……

Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi have been married for more than two years, and this child seems to have come too late.

But for the two, it's just right.

When the war in the Western Regions is settled, the road to stability has truly begun.

In the evening, the husband and wife returned to the mansion from the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, sat indoors in front of the lights, Hengyu leaned on Shi Jingzhi's shoulder, and listened to him ask for the first time: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Hengyu has a poor appetite recently, so he asked her in a different way: "Suckling pigeon soup?" Or shredded chicken white fungus? If you eat it at night, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Xiao Jingshi, you have to finish reporting all the names of the dishes in this life recently, right?" Hengyu closed his eyes and smiled: "I don't want to eat anything, I just want to talk." ”

She had just said something about the academy, and then she brought up some rumors she had heard recently: "I heard that some officials are secretly discussing to let the saint pass his step-son as the heir from the clan?" ”

It has been four years since the saint ascended the throne, and there is no prince so far.

"There are one or two idlers." Shi Jingzhi gently pressed his chin against the top of her head, "But before it was formed, he was reprimanded by the officials of Zhongshu Province." The saint is still young, and it is too early to say that he will pass on. ”

"But it's time to think about making a prince, right?" Heng Yu suddenly raised his eyes to look at him.

Shi Jingzhi raised his eyebrows: "Look at what I do, when it comes to figuring out the Sacred Heart, you are the best-"

Heng Yu blinked: "According to this, I did guess correctly?" ”

Shi Jingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Hmm...... It should soon be clear. ”

……

At this moment, Pei Wushuang was eating braised pork.

"Look what you've made our two look like...... I heard that the errand man in the palace is the most watchful of people putting down dishes, aren't we being mistreated? ”

Dou's eyes were full of worry and distress.

She and her husband Pei Ding only have this one daughter, so they will be so indulgent and raised...... But who would have thought that the daughter who was raised like them would end up within the palace walls.

"That's not it, it's just that I miss A-Niang's craftsmanship." Pei Wushuang grinned, and took another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

After eating satisfied, Pei Wushuang put down his chopsticks and looked at Pei Ding, who was sitting there: "Why doesn't my father speak?" Why, is this a disappointment to see that my daughter failed to compete for favor and fame in the palace? ”

Pei Ding sighed, then looked at his daughter, and said in a complicated and guilty tone: "Dad, this is ...... It's shameless to see you. ”

"It's Daddy and the clan who are dragging you down......"

Pei Ding said, his eyes couldn't help but redden: "Our Shuang'er, we should be free, even if we continue to chase that monk, it's good, at least ......"

Dou interrupted her husband's words with a look.

The smile on Pei Wushuang's face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal: "I made the decision myself, what kind of drag, didn't my father often say that he was counting on me to climb the dragon and the phoenix?" Isn't that what you want? ”

"Then ......" Pei Ding choked and glared: "Then you said that you were not this material, you have to smash your father's job!" ”

"Didn't you still say that people always have to grow, and I'm not growing up now."

"......" Pei Ding was silent for a moment and said, "Dad would rather you never grow up." ”

Dou's eyes were so sore that he had to turn his head slightly.

Pei Wushuang didn't see his mother's strange appearance, came to his father's side, smiled and grabbed his arm: "Don't mention the past, why don't you tell me about the current situation in the clan?" ”

"Shang Ke ......" Pei Ding patted his daughter's hand and sighed: "Since you entered the palace, your uncle has been reinstated, but it's just ...... Not long after the initial decision of the court, the strength of the clan was meager, and there was no power to compete in many things. ”

Pei Wushuang said "ah": "Uncle and cousin, they are so useless, I have done it like this, they are still the same?" ”

"They are like this, it really makes me feel that this heroic righteousness is meaningless."

"You girl...... Dou Shi glanced at his daughter with teary eyes, and said in a low voice: "... The Pei clan has been in a deep decline for a long time, and it is not easy to maintain the current situation, which is the grace of the saints. ”

Pei Ding nodded beside him.

"Such an idea can't come true, I've entered this palace, how can you be so depressed? I think my father is so good at slapping horses, flattering, and not being a close minister of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be a loss? Pei Wushuang blinked: "Father, don't be in a hurry not to be arrogant, about this, my daughter has a heavenly opportunity." ”

"Shuang'er ......" Pei Ding was shocked: "Do you want to fight for the position of queen?" Daddy tells you that you can't hurt others! Besides, you've always been shooting yourself in the foot since you were a child! Shuang'er, Daddy doesn't ask you to glorify your ancestors, but only to ask you not to connect the nine clans......"

"What do you say! The queen has treated me so well, and I am grateful that she has protected her too late. ”

"Then what do you say, it's not a heavenly opportunity......

"But what I said ......," Pei Wushuang whispered in his father's ear.

Pei Ding was shocked, and his tongue was knotted: "You mean, the emperor, the emperor...... How can it be! ”

"How is it impossible, if you think about it carefully, the saint's previous actions, as well as Ah Heng's entry into the Chongwen Pavilion as an official, have you never thought about the deep meaning behind this? And you didn't get that 'Record', do you know who wrote it? ”

“…… I thought that the father's official position could not be obtained. Pei Ding said: "But listen to what your uncle said!" You mean, that's ......"

Pei Wushuang nodded: "Dad, the first opportunity is the heavenly opportunity, what do you say?" ”

After finishing speaking, he said with sustenance: "The honor and disgrace of the Pei family are tied to your ability to see the wind and steer the rudder." ”

Pei Ding settled his mind, and after thinking about it, he felt that he did have a sense of peeping into the heavens.

It's with—

I found the brother of the head of the family overnight, read the record of the experience and hearing of the lamp, and then wrote hard, wrote a full of praise, and solemnly handed it over to the brother Pei Xuan: "Tomorrow morning, if Your Majesty asks about the feeling of watching this record, my brother must read it!" ”

Pei Xuan frowned and looked at it: "Although, but ...... Is it too flattering? ”

"What flattery, this is Ronghuafu - no, this is called discernment!"

……

The next morning, when the emperor was about to disperse, he really asked about it.

There are many words of praise.

But it's mostly a decent scene - after all, it's not good to grasp the holy will, and it's not a good thing to talk too much.

At this time, the golden mean is very applicable.

But......

What's going on with Yongning Bo Pei Xuan?

I invited myself to come out of the queue and just stopped, how could I boast for half an hour and not stop!

And what to say-

"The person who does this article has a good way of governing the country, and His Majesty should be reused for such a talent!"

Boy.

How dare he say it!

Do you know who is making a fuss, just govern the country!

Okay, I finally know why Pei's has declined.

Or is it that the jar is broken, and the wealth is in danger here?

"The same is true of the minister's opinion."

- Who is still on the heels!

Oh, it's King Fanyang...... That's fine.

No matter what this person says, the saint will not blame.

The officials have clearly seen this "preference".

And on the dragon chair, the emperor is already a dragon-faced Dayue.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, who is the person who made this article?" Pei Xuan's eyes were full of yearning: "Weichen was impressed by his article, and recently the general student came to visit and ask for advice!" ”

This exaggerated process is also written by the fifth brother!

If the result is wrong...... He's going to have to kill this brother!

Fortunately, the emperor smiled more and more comfortably, but he did not forget to make a fool of himself: "I said before, he is just a student who is still studying." ”

Pei Xuan hurriedly answered: "Presumably still very young?" ”

The emperor nodded with a smile: "Yes, only twelve years old." ”

Pei Xuan was amazed: "This son will definitely have a lot to do in the future!" ”

Baiguan: "......"

With such a boast, it's really hard not to suspect that it is his Pei Xuan's biological son who made the fuss!

And it turns out that it was not Pei Xuan's own birth-

It was born of a saint!

"I won't be able to play dumb riddles with you Aiqing." The emperor smiled and said, "The person who did this article is not someone else, it is my eldest daughter Jiayi. ”

The hall was in an uproar, and the sound of accidents came and went.

"It was actually written by Princess Jiayi......"

"Yes, in the past two years, hasn't Princess Jiayi been traveling outside? In this record, the local military and peasants involved cannot be written without personal experience......"

"But this article ...... There is no little bit of little daughter's fat powder......"

"It's rare."

When Baiguan came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he wanted to hear people praise his daughter!

But it is true to boast, to praise.

The officials were relieved, the atmosphere in the hall was relaxed, and the words of praise continued.

There were also several ministers who did not say much, but secretly exchanged glances.

Your Majesty's move...... Do you really just want to hear people praise Princess Jiayi?

In the harem, there are rumors that His Majesty has no heirs, not because he can't have them, but because he doesn't want to have them......

At first, they only thought that this rumor was a rumor, because there was no reason to speak of it—how could the world be so absurd? Not to mention the emperor!

And for now, it seems......

Can't always ......

The atmosphere in the hall was warm and harmonious, and the monarchs and ministers talked and laughed, but many officials had turmoil in their hearts.

This conjecture was quickly confirmed.

Months passed, and all the signs were clear, and finally on the day of the beginning of summer, the emperor mentioned the matter of establishing a prince-

Princess Jiayi, the eldest daughter of the emperor, is the princess!

From the court to the people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shattering.

There was fierce opposition.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven "refused to repent", some officials made a big move to boycott the court, saying that they were sick in the house, and even claimed that they wanted to die to make their will clear.

In this way, Hengyu saw it in his eyes, and he was not half surprised.

"It's inevitable, and it's to be expected." She said to Jiayi.

Jiayi has heard a lot of those derogatory words recently, took a deep breath at this moment, and slowly spit it out, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes became more and more firm: "Yes, my father said the same thing, with my father and my teacher, Jiayi is not afraid." ”

……

In August of the same year, Hengyu gave birth to a daughter, whose name is Chenwei.

The morning light is faint, and the dawn is broken, although it is small but not blazing, but it is the beginning of breaking the chaos.

……

In October, a debate contest was held in the Chongwen Pavilion, inviting young children of the clan to debate with Princess Jiayi, and no one won.

And those who oppose it always have new arguments.

The controversy over the establishment of the reserve is still unending.

……

In March of the following year, King Fanyang was ordered to quell the rebellion, and when he returned, he brought stability to Dasheng.

……

Spring goes and spring comes again.

……

Throughout the ages, no matter how fierce the controversy is, no matter how seemingly deviant the nonsense, under the suppression of absolute forces, it will always stop, and then win.

Li Wei's rebellion indirectly weakened the Shi clan and disrupted the distribution of forces, giving the young Son of Heaven an opportunity to regain real power when he ascended the throne.

Therefore, the persistence of this Son of Heaven is weighty and meaningful.

And standing behind Princess Jiayi is not only the Son of Heaven, the queen's mother family, the Jin family, but also the King of Fan Yang, who has military power in his hands, Ji Nanxian, who has entered Zhongshu Province last year, has the right to participate in politics, and is very good at distinguishing, and when he is pregnant with Liujia, he can also scold the two courtiers to ask for a doctor on the spot.

And the family that has no wind and bones, and seems to have peeked at the answer in advance, led by the Pei family!

In addition, under the controversy of the past two years, many officials have given up resistance because they have gradually seen the situation clearly......

Even those young students from all over the country who have just achieved fame and have not yet really entered the court are also preaching that Princess Jiayi has the talent to govern the country, and widely reciting her articles and strategies-

At this point, the general trend has gone, and the general trend has been achieved.

……

The woman is fifteen and the feather is in time.

This year, Princess Jiayi did not hold a ceremony.

Waiting for her is the Lichu Ceremony.

……
