In all dynasties, military exercises were nothing more than the need to review the three armies, demonstrate force, and deter foreign enemies.

The East Palace has not yet been officially canonized, but the emperor can allow Liu Hong to take the lead in forming the prince six rates to participate in this autumn's competition, which can be seen in the emperor's heart, or in the heart of the two saints in the palace, this prince is none other than Liu Hong.

As for whether the six rates of the prince in this big competition can be among the best in the big competition......

Well, Jia Cong is not optimistic at all.

Don't say anything about the little bit of fur learned in the military training in the previous life, not to mention the elite of the forbidden army at the moment, even if any of the nine sides is pulled out, it can beat the grass platform team like the prince Liurate, who has not even been set by the main general.

Jia Cong looked at Liu Hong, who was overly excited, and said quietly: "Fourth brother, wake up, you start dreaming before it gets dark......

"Hey, Brother Cong thinks I'm daydreaming?"

Liu Hong mysteriously winked at Jia Cong, and took out a handwritten scroll from his sleeve.

"I'm not stupid, how could I not be prepared. Look at it!"

Jia Cong took it and looked at it, and was shocked.

Good guy, the Emperor Taishang actually pulled out a thousand elites of Yu Linlang and filled them into the East Palace to form a team of the prince's six rates.

Then he ordered the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to recruit good families from Gyeonggi to make up the difference, and set up a total of 5,000 people in the early stage of Donggong Liurate, and the station was set up near the Yuhe River in the west of Beijing.

"Shhh Old man, this is a bloody investment!"

Three thousand feather Lin Lang, the first strong army in Great Xia, has now transferred one-third of it to the East Palace to be under Liu Hong's command.

Jia Cong returned the handwritten letter to Liu Hong, and sighed for a while: "It turns out that the fourth brother has confidence, just this thousand feathers Lin Lang can almost enter the top three."

But seeing Liu Hong smile slightly, he shook his head and said, "I don't want to sit back and enjoy it, I boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor's grandfather and father, Yu Linlang is only an assistant, and those who really compete in the field will only be selected from the soldiers who have newly entered the barracks!"

Ga!

Jia Cong didn't know what to say about the future prince, whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ambitious or iron-hearted, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence.

"Fourth brother, you are really brave!"

Liu Hong grinned: "Don't praise me so much, I just want to give it a try......

The emperor's grandfather created three thousand feathers with the first Rongguo, and he was invincible in the southern and northern wars, and he also wanted to try if he could build a world's strongest army of his own with his own hands like the emperor's grandfather.

The man of the old Liu family, how can he say no?

"Brother Cong, I asked you to come here for two things to ask you for help......

Speaking of business, Jia Cong immediately sat upright: "Although the fourth brother said, I will do my best if I can."

"First, our prince will collect the sons of the Gyeonggi Liang family at the sixth rate, and I won't be able to leave the palace, so you will keep an eye on it."

The East Palace will be erected, and the tedious canonization ceremony alone is enough for him to be tired these days, how can he have time to leave the palace.

Liu Hong pondered, this matter still has to be watched by people in person, and only Jia Cong is the most suitable to think about it.

If the people below are not willing or dare to make ghosts......

Hehe, it's been five years since Du Yuanyou, no one dares to mess with Jia Cong, the fat orange cat!

Jia Cong patted his chest: "Fourth brother, don't worry, this matter will be left to me!"

"I'm ...... at ease."

Don't look at Jia Cong's young age, he is much more reliable than the old oilman in the officialdom.

Liu Hong nodded and continued, "There is one more thing, I want to borrow the eleventh general from you. The emperor's grandfather said that the eleventh general was outside the tent of the Tatar king, and he defeated the wolf guard of the Tatar Khan, and I would like to ask him to be the head of the sixth rate of the crown prince."

Under the 800,000 forbidden army, the head of the head - the leopard head Lin Chong!

Uh, it's a skewer.

Jia Cong hesitated: "I have to ask Uncle Eleven's opinion on this matter first......

"Naturally, the imperial grandfather also said that it is not appropriate to force the matter of the eleventh general."

Liu Hong is empathetic and an excellent talker.

Jia Shiyi's identity

Special, he is one of the greatest treasures left by Jia Daishan to Rongguo Mansion.

A hundred pro-soldiers, and now there are not many left. Jia Yu put Jia Shiyi next to his youngest son, because he took a fancy to Jia Shiyi's loyalty and ability.

The current Jia Cong is inseparable from Jia Shiyi's protection. As a prince, Liu Hong really can't do what he likes people, although he is extremely keen on Jia Shiyi's ability.

"By the way, I'll have someone take you to Fengzao Palace in a while, and Concubine Xian sent someone over earlier, saying that she was looking for something for you."

"Big sister looking for me?"

Jia Cong's big sister made the corners of Liu Hong's mouth twitch.

Father, my son has lost a generation in vain!

Yuan Chun is pregnant, and the treatment of Fengzao Palace can be said to be second only to the Yikun Palace of the Imperial Concubine Yang.

Today's emperor's heirs are thin, and the queen mother is anxious in her eyes. Zhou Guiren is making such a fuss in the palace, Cining Palace and Yikun Palace have always endured it, isn't it for the sake of the dragon in her stomach?

Now that Zhou's womb is in the past, Yuan Chun is pregnant at this time, and the rewards of Empress Dowager Cao and the imperial concubine are sent to Fengzao Palace without money.

When Jia Cong followed the chamberlain to Fengzao Palace, Yuan Chun was walking slowly in the courtyard.

The door of the side hall is open, and the busy palace people are sorting out the congratulatory gifts sent by the palace.

"Brother Cong is here ......"

Yuan Chun beckoned Jia Cong to come closer, raised his hand and rubbed his brain: "The matter over there of the four princes has been dealt with?"

Jia Cong grinned and said, "It's nothing important, after talking for a while, the fourth brother will let someone send me over."

Fourth brother?

The expression on Yuan Chun's face was a little unnatural, alas, this royal rank is really embarrassing.

The fourth prince wanted to call her a concubine......

"What's the big sister looking for me?"

Jia Cong's eyes were on Yuan Chun's stomach, which was still flat, and he said happily: Man will win the sky, and finally changed Yuan Chun's fate.

With this child, Yuan Chun's position is even more stable!

The two sisters and brothers were walking slowly in the courtyard, and Yuan Chun told Jia Cong about the reason why they came to him today.

It turned out that Yuan Chun was found to be pregnant, and the original time and procedures for saving relatives had to be greatly changed.

After all, the dragon is important, and the Ministry of Etiquette does not dare to argue that the etiquette system is greater than the dragon. So the Qin Tianjian re-elected the date, the sixth day of the tenth month.

In this way, Yuan Chun just passed the most dangerous first three months of pregnancy, and it was not very cold, and if you subtract a cumbersome ceremony, you can also leave more time for your relatives to get along.

"Brother Cong went back to tell my grandmother, uncle and father that the Queen Mother was kind and kind, saying that it was not easy for me to leave the palace, so I stayed at home for a few more days."

"Really?"

There was such a surprise, Jia Cong's eyes widened.

It is difficult for the palace concubine to get out of the palace, that is, this dynasty, let go of the past, unless the edict is ordered to go out of the palace with the royal car, how can the palace concubine have a chance to get out of this Forbidden City.

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "This is a great grace, the old lady knows that she is not happy!"

Concubine Shu only left the palace two days ago to save her relatives, left the palace early in the morning, and returned in the evening, less than six hours before and after.

Of course, this is also related to the character of Concubine Shuniang, who would rather bury herself in the pile of books than be too lazy to socialize with others.

"Xu is five days, Xu is seven days, and the Ministry of Rites is still arguing with the palace at the moment. The palace will send palace attendants to settle in first, the uncle must have been busy recently, and he can't take care of the family, so you can keep an eye on it when you go back, and don't make any trouble."

Yuan Chun was cautious, and repeatedly admonished: "Those subordinates in our family have always had no rules, they should be punished, they should be beaten, and they must not let outsiders see jokes. Also, I asked Your Majesty for grace, your second brother will not have any great success in this life, and with this grace, you can at least be rich and prosperous for a lifetime."

"What grace?"

I saw Yuan Chun smile and said, "Cheng Zhilang, who is the sixth grade, Hanlin is waiting for the edict."

Cheng Naolang is a literary rank, to put it bluntly, he doesn't have to work for nothing.

Hanlin is waiting for the edict

It means that there is no grade or rank, but he has the right to go straight to the palace to meet the king.

Yuan Chun got a life talisman for Baoyu!

"Baoyu is different from you, his temperament is hopeless in this life. is a pure and good person, maybe one day he will be played by others. With this will, those who strike his mind will also weigh it."

Jia Cong shook his head: "Big sister is too worried, isn't there still me, who dares to bully Second Brother Bao with me, I will definitely bring someone to the door."

Yuan Chun smiled and didn't refute, just rubbed his cousin's brain.

"Don't talk about this, your second brother Bao is about to reach the age of kissing, and the matter of getting married has been a good match since ancient times. With this holy decree, our family can marry him."

Okay, how did you talk about marrying a daughter-in-law for Baoyu? Is there a melon to eat?

Jia Cong immediately turned into a melon eater: "Big sister has a candidate in her heart?"

"Last time my grandmother came to the palace to tell me, I invited Yang Niangniang, wanting her to help find a suitable candidate. There are a few suitable ...... right now."

Halfway through his words, Yuan Chun suddenly knocked on Jia Cong's head: "Okay, this matter hasn't been seen yet, so I won't mention it for the time being."

Seeing that the melon skin was cut a slit and suddenly taken away, the baby was unhappy.

Bang dang!

A sound from the direction of the side hall interrupted the small talk between the two sisters and brothers, and Jia Cong raised his eyes to see several panicked palace maids suddenly running out of the side hall.

Yuan Chun frowned and just wanted to scold, but when he saw one of the attendants running closer, he knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the Buddha statue sent by Concubine De Niangniang accidentally fell to the ground and shattered, revealing a ...... A ......"

"A corpse of what? Make it clear!"

"A baby's corpse!"

The side hall is full of congratulatory gifts from various palaces, and large and small boxes and boxes occupy most of the room.

However, under a table, there were scattered fragments of painted clay sculptures, and in the center of the fragments was a small dried corpse.

Jia Cong endured his nausea, got closer and took a closer look, it was indeed a baby.

"Concubine De Niangniang has always been frugal, and when she came over the day before yesterday, she brought this Buddha statue, saying that she asked the palace people to go to Dabao'en Temple to ask for it. Originally, the slave wanted to move the Buddha statue to the incense case, but her hand slipped......

Baoqin stopped the nagging of the waiter, and whispered to Jia Cong, "Third master, Niangniang has already asked people to invite the imperial concubine Niangniang. This matter involves Concubine De Niangniang, and Niangniang asked the slave maid to send you out of the palace first."

Jia Cong nodded, it looked like a harem dump, as a foreign minister, it was better not to be too involved.

With Yuan Chun's ability, there should be no problem in dealing with these.

"Sister Xianfei, I really didn't do it, you have to believe me!"

Before Jia Cong reached the gate of Fengzao Palace, he was startled by a howl outside the door.

The blue tendons on Baoqin's forehead jumped suddenly, and he whispered, "It's Concubine De's mother......

"Alright, stop howling, no one said it was you!"

This voice Jia Cong is very familiar, scolding people so gently, it is the imperial concubine Niangniang who did not run away.

Sure enough, when Jia Cong was thinking about whether to avoid it, he saw Yang leading a woman in pink palace clothes to appear at the door.

"Chen Jia Cong pays a visit to the imperial concubine Niangniang, and meets Concubine De Niangniang."

When Yang saw Jia Cong, he was stunned, and then said gently, "Hurry up, where is your sister?"

"The concubine came to see Sister Yang, and to meet Sister Defei."

As he spoke, Yuan Chun had already walked out of the front hall and bowed down on his knees.

Yang was about to go over and help him up, but he saw Feng trotting over, curtling his knees, and constantly wailing in his mouth: "Sister Xian, that really didn't do it, really, you have to believe me......

To be honest, Feng's appearance is first-class, and his voice is also first-class.

Being canonized as one of the four concubines by the emperor must have an advantage. Jia Cong can probably distinguish the truth from Feng's words and deeds, this matter

Eighty percent of the children were not done by the Feng family.

However, this voice was also too loud, and he could see that Yang was almost unable to maintain his gentleness when he was noisy.

"Sister Defei, hurry up, my sister has never doubted my sister......

Feng's mouth kept talking, and Yuan Chun was upset by the noise.

She suddenly clutched her stomach: "Oops, it hurts......

At this moment, Feng immediately stopped wailing, and as soon as he held Yuan Chun, he screamed, "Hurry, hurry, please ask the imperial doctor!"

"Okay, help her back to the house, don't make any noise, as long as you don't make a noise to her, she will be fine."

Yuan Chun glanced at the Yang who was speaking, and said with a wry smile, "I'm fine, maybe it's a ...... that just came out."

Jia Cong still couldn't leave, and the Yang family didn't know what to think, so they left him behind.

After this toss, the palace attendants who are proficient in the method of autopsy have completed the preliminary examination.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, but it is the body of a baby, about the size of a month. The slave maid thought that the baby was probably an Azankuman boy from Siam."

The three of the Yang family didn't know what this Azangu Mantong was, but Jia Cong knew something.

Azanguman Tong, Siamese folk shamans often use baby corpses to make baby spirits, and those who worship it feel that it can bring good luck, fortune and so on to the owner. Z.br>

Of course, such an almost taboo way also has the meaning of cursing, and it doesn't matter whether it is useful or not, but if there is a witchcraft in the palace, I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down.

Concubine Feng, who had already been appeased, turned pale in fright at the moment, trembling and couldn't even use her loud voice.

But whenever there is a witch Gu in the palace, there is no one who does not shed blood!

"It's not me, it's really not me......

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone was about to get up and go out to meet them, but they saw that the emperor had already strode in.

"The concubine (minister) visits Yu ......"

"Alright, don't bow down, sit down."

Liu Heng was not in a good mood, he was originally reviewing the folds in the Qinzheng Palace, but suddenly the harem came, and something happened to the Fengzao Palace again.

Worried about the son in Yuan Chun's womb, he threw down the political affairs and rushed over, but heard the chamberlain say that it was a witchcraft.

"Your Majesty, it's really not the concubine's body, the concubine's body has never had the intention of harming others, and please Your Majesty to see it......

After seeing the emperor, Feng seemed to have found the backbone, and began to howl again with his throat, the emperor was already upset, and his face became even darker.

The green tendons on his forehead were thumping, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw Yang shaking his head at him slightly.

Forget it, the Feng family was born in a small family, and he is timid, so if he is frightened, he will have to coax himself.

"Well, I know it's not you."

Liu Heng stopped Feng's wailing, and then gave Jia Cong a look: "Jia Cong, you should go to Dabao'en Temple with your companion to check now and see what is going on with this Buddha statue."

Jia Cong has long wanted to leave, eating melons is quite fragrant, but eating melons in the harem is risky, maybe he will get into trouble at any time.

He hurriedly bowed to the emperor and hurriedly left Fengzao Palace with Xia Shouzhong.

The carriage traveled southward and went out of Yongding Gate along Zhengyang Street. Jia Cong chatted with Xia Shouzhong, "Duke Xia, is it so unsafe in the palace? Will the big sister be in danger?"

"Little slippery, take our words!"

Xia Shouzhong knocked on Jia Cong's skull, and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Xian is safe, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are all staring at Fengzao Palace, and nearly ten people have been sent with capable manpower alone. Besides, I want to murder Concubine Xian Niangniang under our noses, hehe......

With Zhou's previous experience, the harem was cleaned up again.

This time Yuanchun was pregnant, and the queen mother and the imperial concubine personally sent their henchmen to Fengzao Palace, and the emperor asked Xia Shouzhong to keep an eye on every move in the harem to ensure that Yuanchun successfully protected the fetus and gave birth.

This Fengzao Palace can be said to be one of the safest places in the palace.

"That's not even for people to be witches

Surgical ......"

Xia Shouzhong rolled his eyes, this guy is so badly beaten, he doesn't hit people in the face!

"This is a wake-up call to our family, and it seems that we still need to strengthen our precautions."

While speaking, under the escort of a team of dragon guards, the carriage stopped outside the Dabao'en Temple.

Xia Shouzhong, who was dressed in regular clothes, led Jia Cong, who was wearing a royal cat suit, into the temple, and went straight to the retreat of the presiding monk.

The Buddha statue sent to Fengzao Palace by Concubine De is indeed made by Da Bao'en Temple, which is big enough and beautiful enough and cheap enough, and there are many people in Beijing who please go home to worship.

This kind of pottery Buddha statue is mostly worshiped by ordinary people who believe in Buddhism. As for Concubine De, Pixiu's general temperament can cost a few taels of silver, and it is already very good to ask people to go back to the palace.

Jia Cong looked at the pottery Buddha statues enshrined in the side hall and asked, "Master Kongyan, who made these Buddha statues?"

"These are all fired in Xiaoguozhuang outside the Meilin in the south of the temple, and there are many people in Xiaoguozhuang who are proficient in firing pottery. As for these Buddha statues, there is a capable person in Xiaoguozhuang, who is good at clay sculpture and pottery, and has been a master craftsman in the Ministry of Industry......

Xiaoguozhuang is only two quarters of an hour's distance from Dabao'en Temple, and the great monk Kongyan sent his disciples to see the monk and accompany the two of them.

Seeing sex is the steward of Da Bao'en Temple to deal with these mundane matters, and he is familiar with Guo Xiaosi, the master of the original engineering department who made the Buddha statue.

When everyone came to Xiaoguozhuang, this Zhuangzi of more than 100 households was full of all kinds of earthen furnaces, and the entire Zhuangzi was submerged in smoke and dust.

Jia Cong coughed again and again and complained, "Ahem, I didn't expect that I would be able to inhale haze in my life!"

"Haze? What is smog?"

Xia Shouzhong also coughed several times, and was about to ask about this novelty, but he heard the captain of the Dragon Praetorian Guard next to him suddenly shout: "What kind of person is sneaky and hasn't come out yet?"

It turned out that there was a person lying on his stomach at the back door of the earthen furnace not far away, and after the captain drank heavily, the man did not move.

On the contrary, Jia Cong's eyesight was better, and he noticed that something was wrong: "The earthen stove is still burning, how can anyone bear the heat lying on the stove." Hurry up and see if it's alive or dead!"
