Chapter 488: I'm not as brave as him

In the afternoon, in the Xiangwang Mansion, the back garden.

Baochai sat in the attic, quietly looking at the stage outside the building, where the drama of "beating the golden branch" was being performed.

The content of the play is that after Tang Guo Ziyi pacified the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Suzong married his daughter to his son Guo Hua as his wife.

The content of the play is relatively interesting, and there are two Zhen Niangniang on the scene, and the two of them are very lively when you ask me and answer.

When the curtain call of the role was sung, Baochai said with a smile: "This princess is really, since she married into the Guo family, she is a family, and she should live in harmony!" ”

"Because of his high heart, these incidents were introduced, and now they are written as dramas and sung, and the dignified nobles are actually seen as jokes by the world!"

"The so-called family and everything is prosperous, if you want not to make jokes, you have to put away your selfish thoughts, and the whole family should work together!"

"Sister Ting, do you think that's the truth?" Baochai's gaze finally swept towards Yang Jingting.

Yang Jingting replied with a smile: "It's a pity that Princess Shengping doesn't understand this truth, so she will be taught a lesson by her husband, and it has become a joke talked about in ancient and modern times!" ”

Baochai smiled lightly, still staring at Yang Jingting and said: "Princess Shengping Che Jian is in front, I should take it as a warning!" ”

Her words can be called explicit, but in fact, they are not in line with Baochai's forbearance and subtle character.

The reason why she said this was that she really didn't want to "meet each other" with Yang Jingting, just because the restlessness in the inner house would only affect the reputation of Xiangwangfu.

Yang Jingting is an extremely smart person, and when she heard Baochai's abnormal tone, she immediately realized something.

Could it be that what I am planning has already been noticed by her? Yang Jingting's heart became vigilant.

Yang Jingting stood up, bent down and said, "It should be taken as a warning, if my sister does something inconsiderately, I will forget my sister to mention it!" ”

Seeing that Yang Jingting suddenly got up to plead guilty, the two Zhen Niangniang who were chatting happily at the scene all looked in the direction of Yang Jingting.

When Yinglian was thinking about it, she only heard Zhen Qin ask: "Sister Ting, why do you ask for guilt?" ”

"I'm joking with Sister Ting!" Baochai answered.

"Jokes? What to say? Zhen Qin asked curiously, she liked to listen to jokes the most.

Baochai replied: "Just now I listened to the play and introspected myself, saying that let's not learn from Princess Shengping, and make the family uneasy and make people laugh!" ”

Zhen Qin said with a smile: "Sister Bao, our sisterhood is deep, and we couldn't be more harmonious, you are too worried!" ”

Baochai nodded, and Fang said: "If there is no change, then encouragement, the sage also said that I will save my body three times a day!" ”

Hearing Baochai's words, Yang Jingting still had a smile on her face, but she was already thinking about urging Chen Zhi to get things done as soon as possible.

In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, I am not inferior to you, and the princess should have been me...... Yang Jingting shouted in her heart.

In fact, from the selection of the concubine to the present, although she has accepted the reality on the surface, she has always been dissatisfied with Baochai in her heart.

It was only before this that she felt that everything was determined to accept her fate, so Yang Jingting suppressed her disobedience in her heart and persuaded herself to be a side concubine with peace of mind.

However, Chen Zhi's recent overtures broke her peaceful life and released the thoughts she had suppressed in her heart.

"The princess has taught her a lesson, and my sister must be more introspective!" Yang Jingting replied solemnly.

It seems that she has been taught, but Baochai knows that she has not lost her way, and her reminder today is useless.

I have done my duty...... Baochai thought secretly.

So everyone dispersed, and Baochai went to the Tongxin Hall by herself, but saw the female official Du Hongmei waiting outside the hall.

After he saluted, Baochai asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Following behind Baochai, Du Hongmei hooked her waist and replied: "Niangniang, there is news from the palace, all about the prince!" ”

Stopping, Baochai turned around and said, "Say!" ”

"There is news in the palace that the prince is in the battle formation, and he will capture the flag to break the enemy army, and kill countless enemies ......"

"Did he go to war himself?" Baochai asked worriedly, and as soon as the words came out, she knew that this was nonsense.

"Exactly, it is said that the prince has hundreds of enemy soldiers in his hands, and now the Dzungars are afraid of him!"

This is called false rumors, and the battle report said that Zhu Jinghong was beheaded eighty-seven, but now it has been spread to hundreds.

"What else?" Baochai then asked.

"The slave maid also heard that today the lord has issued an edict to summon our prince back to Beijing, and you can reunite with the prince!"

Du Hongmei thought that what she said was good news, but Baochai frowned when she heard it.

From a personal point of view, of course she hopes that her husband will come back, but from the overall situation of the palace, Zhu Jinghong should not come back.

Although she is extremely wise, when her human power is finally exhausted, she is powerless to deal with the holy decree that has been issued for a while.

On August 20, this was the third day that Zhu Jinghong sent back the war report, and his third war report also came back.

It was also an eight-hundred-mile rush, and the horsemen galloped on the long street, shouting the words "Northwest Victory" in their mouths.

The news of good news has always been publicized with great gifts, in order to boost people's hearts.

Therefore, every time the battle report arrived in the town, the post guards would shout loudly to let the people know that the court had won again.

Hearing shouts from afar, the people in the street flashed to the side of the road to avoid being hit by fast horses.

However, there are always some people who will stay in the middle of the road because of distraction or other reasons, such as Jia Baoyu, who is wandering aimlessly.

"Second master, be careful......"

Fortunately, Mingyan's movements were numb, and he flew over and pulled Jia Baoyu over, so as to prevent him from being knocked down by the horsemen.

"Blind your dog's eye!"

Although the cavalry was gone, his scolding still came from the wind, causing Mingyan to look at each other angrily.

"Second master, are you okay?" Mingyan looked at Baoyu.

Although Jia Baoyu was expelled from Rongguo Mansion, he was the younger brother of the crown princess after all, as well as the elders who doted on him, such as Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Although he didn't dare to take care of him too much, it was not difficult to ensure his relatively comfortable life.

So even if Jia Baoyu is down, there are a few little maids around him, and there are a few girls in the house to serve.

"Why are you here?" Jia Baoyu asked blankly, unaware of the danger just now.

"Second master, it's time to go back to dinner, it's already noon!" Smoke reminder.

"What did that man shout?"

Glancing in the direction where the post guard disappeared, Mingyan Fang said: "It seems that the northwest has won another battle, I heard that the northwest is now the lord of Xiangwang......

As soon as he said this, the sound of Mingyan stopped abruptly, as if he had touched some taboo.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned around, he saw that the second master's face was very unsightly.

"Second master, let's go back!" Mingyan helped Baoyu to get up.

"Second Master Bao?"

A greeting from a distance attracted the attention of Jia Baoyu and the others at the scene.

Mingyan didn't know the person who came, but Jia Baoyu smiled when he saw it, so he said to Mingyan: "That's my friend, it's rare to meet today, just catch up with him!" ”

"But the second master ......"

"Give me the silver, and I won't go back at noon!" Baoyu held out his hand.

Mingyan was not at ease, so he said, "Second master, I'll still follow you!" ”

While they were talking, the young man on the other side had already approached, and because of his handsome appearance, Mingyan took a few more looks.

"Brother Yuhan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Baoyu greeted him with a smile.

The restraining force of the world line is so strong, although Zhu Jinghong broke in and messed things up, many things are connected.

For example, Jiang Yuhan, who is a little Qi official, met Jia Baoyu half a year ago, and the two already have a deep friendship.

Jia Baoyu followed Jiang Yuhan and left, and the two entered the flower building as before.

In the past, it was just a superficial taste, but now Jia Baoyu feels that this place is excellent, and the happiness can hide his sadness.

When Baoyu lingered in the Qinglou, the eight-hundred-mile urgent military report had been sent to the ban, and it was submitted to the imperial front after many checkpoints.

At this time, there were three cabinet ministers in the warm cabinet of the Qianqing Palace, and they were discussing with the emperor the allocation of money and grain in the northwest, as well as the affairs of Jinling Qingzhang.

With the military report, Zhu Xianming wanted to check it for the first time, but in the end he couldn't help but do nothing.

Looking at the report handed over by Cheng Ying, Zhu Xianming said lightly: "Read it!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Cheng Ying opened the letter, and then read: "The Northwest Governor's Office Military Report ......"

"My emperor is shengming, Ze is surrounded by the four seas, the sun and the moon are dezhao, and the people of Enga are ......"

The emperor's ass at the beginning is the basis of any script, and Zhu Xianming usually skips it when he reads it himself.

"Pick it up, it's important to say......" Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice.

Cheng Ying paused, and then said: "On the ninth day of the first month of August, the northern front of the army feigned retreat, and the southern front departments were responsible for breaking the rear, and the enemy army attacked the southern front for the first time in half a day, and when the enemy army arrived, the armies of the northern front would fight back......"

"The enemy was taken by surprise, and the vanguard of its northern flank was severely damaged, causing its attack to be frustrated, and more than 4,000 troops were lost......

Listening to the content of the battle report, Zhu Xianming couldn't help smacking his tongue, and secretly said that he still underestimated the kid Lao Thirteen.

The three scholars present were also shocked when they heard this, and secretly said that Zhu Jinghong's results in the past two days had almost caught up with Ning Huanxiang's overall results.

"On the 10th day of the first month of August, our army retreated on the left and right fronts at the same time, and the enemy did not dare to pursue it for half a day, and then pursued it for half a day......"

"Our army waited for work at ease, set up an ambush at the pass of the ancient castle, and completely annihilated more than 3,000 enemy forwards......"

is such a big result, which makes Zhu Xianming almost break the defense.

After all, when he was so young, let alone achieve such a result, he didn't even have the opportunity to command the front army alone, let alone preside over the battle like Zhu Jinghong.

So much so that at this moment, as the dignified emperor of the Empire, Zhu Xianming was a little jealous of his stupid son.

However, when this mood rose, at the same time, some shame rose in his heart, and he secretly said that he was really as the old thirteen said, and the pattern as an emperor was too small.

Zhu Jinghong would never have thought that even though he was thousands of miles away, he still PUA his father.

"The enemy's attack was frustrated, and the patrol did not dare to advance, and our army withdrew to Guazhou City at night on the tenth day of the first month!"

"On the 10th day of the ninth day of the first month, Zhenwei Zhongwei killed 1,400 enemies, Qinghai Xingdu Division killed more than 2,300 enemies, Tibetan tribes killed more than 900 enemies, Jurchen tribes killed more than 1,700 enemies, and Mongolian tribes killed ......"

Nowadays, the approval of military merit is extremely strict, so there is very little possibility of taking the plunge, and killing so many enemy skulls can be regarded as a big victory.

"The Thirteenth Master Guards came to the battle formation in person, more than four hundred and thirty people, of which the Thirteenth Master killed one hundred and twenty-five enemies!"

This kid went into battle to kill the enemy again?

Hearing the last sentence read by Cheng Ying, Zhu Xianming was really surprised.

Back then, I didn't ...... Taizu and Shizu were not so brave back then!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming's heart was a little balanced, after all, he was the emperor.

In fact, his Zhu Xianming's mentality changed so smoothly, which originally proved that he was broad-minded.

As an emperor, he did not lead troops again, and in the twenty years before him, he spent most of his time on expeditions.

The enemy countries of Dzungaria, Rakshasa and Mughal, as well as the foreign vassals of Tibet and Mongolia, and the southwestern countries who did not obey the king, all received his iron fist of justice.

Although he rarely came to the battle in person, the enemy army that was destroyed in his hands was two or three hundred thousand.

In the face of Zhu Jinghong's little exploits, he was finally able to maintain a normal heart, but he felt that he was like a younger son at his age.

And after listening to the whole battle report, the three scholars present were all surprised, only that Zhu Jinghong not only knew how to fight, but also was a kind of killing god who killed the enemy with his own hands.

"Well, good fight!" Zhu Xianming said calmly.

"The Thirteenth Master is strategic, and the virtual and the real are well arranged, so he can inflict heavy losses on the enemy, all of which depends on His Majesty's teaching......"

Among the three scholars, only Zheng Zhiqing, who has the least qualifications, will be the first to pat the emperor's sycophants at this moment.

But his words really made the emperor useful, so he heard Zhu Xianming say: "If he is willing to work harder, he will not know how to kill so many enemy soldiers!" ”

Subsequently, Zhao Yushan and Chen Jinyun followed to praise Emperor Deze, and the atmosphere in the warm pavilion was much more relaxed.

After signaling everyone to be quiet, Zhu Xianming said: "Since he played well, he is afraid that it will be ......inappropriate to change generals suddenly."

After that, his gaze swept to Cheng Ying and said: "Immediately summon the Hanlin Academy to draft an order, order him to still command the battle, and after Liu Fang arrives, he will be handed over and allowed to ......."

"Allow him to stay in the Governor's Office, counsellor military affairs by Liu Fang's side, and strictly prohibit him from being in battle again!"

The holy decree issued yesterday was for Zhu Jinghong to come back after delivery, and now it is a revision of yesterday's will.

The difference between the two wills before and after, the three scholars are insightful, and although the three of them have different thoughts at this moment, none of them has opened their mouths to express their opinions.

Cheng Ying went to Hanlin Yuan to pass the decree, and when the time came to the afternoon, the latest battle report was also spread in the palace, or the upper echelons of the capital would know it in a few hours.

Of course, Yang Qingyin also knew the situation, so she went to the Qianqing Palace in person, and it happened that the three scholars had left.

"Your Majesty, the old thirteen is becoming more and more wanton, it is better to recall it earlier!" Yang Qingyin asked with a serious expression.

Zhu Xianming smiled embarrassedly, got up and greeted the queen and said, "Queen...... I have issued a special order that they are not allowed to come to the battle in person! ”

Hearing this, Yang Qingyin still had a bad face, and said coldly: "How did I hear that His Majesty ordered the old thirteen to stay in the northwest and counsellor military affairs!" ”

"You think I don't want him back? But you also know this kid's temper, and he has to die or live when he comes back? What then? Zhu Xianming said helplessly.

"You're afraid you don't think he's easy to use, so you want to put him on the battlefield, right?" Yang Qingyin asked.

Zhu Xianming said angrily: "Why do you want to slander me like this? I have a million good generals and thousands of soldiers, can't I fight without him? ”

"Okay, I've already asked him not to go into battle, it's okay to have Liu Fang to press him, you can rest assured!"

Realizing that summoning Zhu Jinghong back to Beijing would cause unrest, Yang Qingyin could only accept the emperor's arrangement, but his expression became more and more worried.

At the other end of Ningshou Palace, some people are also worried about Zhu Jinghong.

"This kid, better than ...... The fourth child was still fierce back then, and the next life is terrifying! ”

The one who said this was Emperor Zhu Xinkan, and the fourth child in his mouth was the current emperor.

"Who said it wasn't, in just these two days, he killed more than 200 enemies with his own hands, and King Xiang was young...... It's ......."

But what is it, Concubine Zhen doesn't know what words to use to describe it, after all, she has heard these things before.

Zhu Xinkan said with a smile: "This kid compares himself to the overlord of Xichu, saying that he has the courage of ten thousand people, and now he is confirmed!" ”

With that, he let out a few more dry coughs, apparently caused by too much talking.

After Concubine Zhen took good care of her, Zhu Xinkan returned to normal.

"I'm looking forward to it now, the battle report sent back tomorrow, I don't know how this kid will toss!" Zhu Xinkan smiled.
