Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Army Goes Out

Ever since he learned that His Majesty had given him and the crown prince to marry, Lu Bingzhen had always been faintly uneasy. She felt that His Majesty would not back down so easily and allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use the marriage to add wings, but now the big stone has fallen to the ground.

She has been in a daze for the past few days, as if she is in the clouds, and she can't even step on her feet. Now that her grandfather has made a decision, she has made up her mind and knows what to do next. Although Lu Bingzhen was still worried, it was better than being at a loss before.

Your Majesty probably can't wait for a moment, and the day of the armies that are written in the Divine Decree will be even tomorrow.

The next day, His Majesty went to the outskirts of the city to worship the civil and military officials, and told the gods and ancestors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to take the throne of his father. His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank a whole cup of spirits, and patted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the shoulder and encouraged him repeatedly, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, which was the end of the sacrifice.

Ten miles outside the city, there are already relatives of the emperor and powerful families waiting here. Among the crowd of people who saw them off, the most conspicuous was His Royal Highness King Yuyu.

Today's His Royal Highness King Yu can be described as a spring breeze with a horse's hoof, and he sits firmly on a high-headed horse. The gold-bridle jade saddle is many times more gorgeous than the horses under the crotch of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is personally driving today.

Many Qingliu Wenchen couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene, and even many officials who had supported His Royal Highness King Yu since Suri felt that there was indeed something wrong with this matter.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the prince of the country, has to go to the battlefield of nine deaths and lives to fight for his father. But His Royal Highness King Yu, as the brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, not only made a scandal of indulging horses and hurting people in the downtown area, but also swaggered extravagantly through the market at this time, and even danced in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, who went out to fight.

There was already a faint voice of disapproval in the crowd, "How can this be true, how can it really be unreasonable?" "What does His Royal Highness King Yu want? Is it to show His Majesty's favor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time? "His Royal Highness King Yu is too nonsense, no matter what, today is the day when the army is opened, he is so swaggering, won't he shake the heart of the army?"

Many officials shook their heads in disappointment, and her friends and family members just advised her to say less.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very busy these days. Since His Majesty announced that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take the royal conquest for his father, even the Queen Mother only met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time today.

When the mother and son met, the queen couldn't help but burst into tears, but in front of Her Majesty and the civil and military officials, she couldn't say anything. A thousand words turned into one sentence, "Min'er, you must be safe and sound." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his mother's hand a little hard and whispered, "It is the son's unfilial piety to worry his mother. The mother lives in the deep palace for a long time, and if she has leisure, she can call her sister or Qingning County Jun to accompany her in the palace. Empress Wen tearfully agreed.

Empress Wen saw His Royal Highness King Yu so presumptuous, and she hated it in her heart, but she remembered that day when Lu Bing entered the palace, she avoided everyone and whispered to persuade her.

"Niangniang, the courtier said something disrespectful. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's biggest enemy now is not His Royal Highness King Yu, but His Majesty's distrust. His Royal Highness King Yu's mother's family, the Gu family, seems to have deep roots and leafy leaves, but in fact, it has no roots, as long as His Majesty no longer supports the Gu family. The tall building of the Gu family will collapse soon.

It is not beneficial to suppress His Royal Highness King Yu to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it is just plain and makes His Majesty a little more jealous and suspicious of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

For the candidate she chose, Queen Wen never doubted. At that moment, the queen treated His Royal Highness King Yu with a pleasant face, without the slightest hint of anger. This made His Royal Highness King Yu bored and left stupidly.

At the end of April, there was still a bit of a cold spring.

But the powerful families present, even if they have a little dirty relationship with the Wen family or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on weekdays, feel cold for the queen's mother and son at this moment. Even though decades have passed since the past, the old things are still vivid in the hearts of everyone in Beijing, and the sacrifice of the queen is also obvious to all.

If His Majesty really values His Royal Highness King Yu, maybe the hearts of the powerful families will be a little better, at least they can comfort themselves, "The emperor's heart is fickle, it is a common thing, as long as you think about Your Majesty's mind well, you can be honored and favored." ”

But His Majesty is just using Gu Guifei's mother and son as a tool to fight with the queen mother and suppress the queen mother and the crown prince. His Royal Highness King Yu is now happy, but no matter what the outcome of his battle with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, His Royal Highness King Yu will not have a good result.

If His Royal Highness King Yu wins, then His Majesty will pick up another target and compete with His Royal Highness King Yu again. If His Royal Highness King Yu loses the battle, then he will be abandoned by His Majesty immediately, and he will also be trampled to death by the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Prince.

His Majesty still treats his parents and children like this, how can he not make the Chinese military officials of the DPRK feel cold?

Before parting from the queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took one last look back at where Fan Yanglu's house was. Through the vast sea of people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know if Lu Bingzhen could see him, so he could only nod his head from afar.

Today, the people outside Shili Pavilion were overcrowded, and many people in the capital even came to see them off, and most of them were relatives and friends of the sergeants of the three armies. The battlefield is dangerous, and I don't know if he will have a chance to see each other again today, many of the people who sent each other are crying again and again, and even the soldiers are infected, and they can't help but shed tears.

Seeing this scene, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not immediately order the army to march, but asked everyone in the three armies to pour good wine. Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the lead in drinking the wine, and all the soldiers followed the example of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink all the wine in the cup.

"Hulu in the north, messing with my rivers and mountains, kidnapping my people, plundering my property, many cities in the north are in danger today, and I hope that all the soldiers will not destroy the chaos of Hulu and never return to the south."

After speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smashed the wine glass on the spot and ordered the army to pull out.

The officers and men of the three armies were all infected by the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they erupted in earth-shaking harmony. "Good! The rebellion of the immortal law will never return south. ”

Seeing that the momentum had been achieved, a few unknown soldiers who were originally hidden in the team quietly left their scattered positions and returned to their original positions. One of the young generals clasped his fists and saluted, "Master Pei, we have completed your orders." Pei Jian bowed his head slightly, and the young general retreated quietly, as if he had never appeared.

These are all secret guards that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has secretly cultivated over the years, and only his henchmen Wen Cheng and Pei Jian know about it.

The team went all the way out of the Beijing Division, and began to hurry up, which was the suggestion of His Royal Highness the Prince's military advisor on this trip. The soldiers are fast, and now they want to suppress the arrogance of Hulu Khan before he has become a climate in the north. If you wait until the Hulu Khan becomes the climate, then it will take hundreds or thousands of times more effort to get the same effect.

This military advisor was recommended by the Wen family, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the school examination, he found that this person did have real talent and learning. That's why I took this person with me on this expedition.

Over the years, Empress Wen's maiden family, the Wen family, has become more and more declining under His Majesty's suspicion and suppression. But the truth that a hundred-legged insect dies without stiffening is unbreakable. Therefore, the Wen family, who started with military merits, still helped a lot in the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince driving for his father.

The current head of the Wen family, Lord Wen, is the father of Queen Wen, and of course he is planning so hard to put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the throne. The scenery of the descendants, as long as the family has enjoyed it once, they will not want to let go, and the same is true for the Wen family.

However, there is another unspeakable reason why the Wen family is working so hard this time, that is, the power of the Fan Yang Lu family, the wife of His Royal Highness the Prince, far exceeds that of the Wen family. If the Wen family did not do their best to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he was in danger this time, then when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, the greatest benefit would not be His Royal Highness the Prince's maternal family, the Wen family, but His Royal Highness's wife, the Fan Yang Lu family.

This is something that is completely unacceptable to the Wen family, who have endured for many years and are dedicated to defending Empress Wen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Today's Fan Yang Lu family not only came to see off the prince, but the delegation led by Wang Jian, the seventh lang of the Wang family, also set off today. However, compared to the battle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the mission went quietly.

Lu Bingxi is a lively person, and he can feel the care of his cousin of the Wang family, so he naturally becomes more and more bold. Wang Jian actually really indulged him, and kept answering his questions, until Lu Bingxi asked about the secret of this foreign envoy, Wang Jian stopped talking and told him not to say any more.

Seeing that the army of the imperial army and the envoys to foreign countries left one after another, the various powerful families and even the common people gathered outside the Shili Pavilion gradually dispersed.

Although Fan Yang and the Lu family were worried, they could only go home for the time being, waiting for news from the army and the mission. And the Fan Yang Lu family who returned home seemed to have not been disturbed by today's events at all, and still lived their lives according to the routine.

The beginning of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the calculation day is seven or eight days later, and the Fanyang Lu family has always attached great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is even more timid at this juncture. Therefore, the Li family specially asked people to set up a restaurant by the river on Leyou Yuan for the people in the family to watch the dragon boat on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

It's just that this time, the little ladies and Xiaolangjun who went out were missing the five ladies and the seven langjun. For Lu Bingxi's absence, relatives and friends are not surprised. It's just that the absence of the fifth lady makes people ask a few more questions.

For these curious doubts, Li smiled Yan Yan from beginning to end, "My father-in-law said that he had already set a marriage for the fifth lady and his old acquaintance, and the fifth lady, as a little lady who was going to get married soon, naturally it was inconvenient to go out more. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people who were listening were very surprised, "I didn't hear that your five ladies were going to marry before, why did you suddenly decide on a family affair?" ”

Li still said unhurriedly, "I heard my father-in-law say that this marriage was decided as early as 10 years ago, but it was because he was afraid that the children on both sides would not grow up and let the other party bear the reputation of Kefuke's wife, so he didn't publicize it." ”

This answer is also reasonable, and many powerful families in Beijing only give tokens when they order dolls for their children, but do not publicize them to the public.
