Chapter 1614: Entering the Palace and Facing the Concubine
When Luo Chong left, Su Wanqiu said again: "Concubine Chen in the palace is my second disciple, if there is anything, you can also pass on a message to her." ”
has inserted all the inner lines into the emperor's harem, it can be seen that the Taiping Holy Sect has really not been lazy over the years.
What can Luo Chong do to use a concubine in the palace?
After a day, I knew the answer, in the morning, someone came to the palace, but it was not a eunuch, but a maid next to Princess Yongning that Luo Chong had seen, accompanied by several guards, who came to deliver the letter.
The maid said: "General Luo, the princess asked me to inform you in advance, tomorrow morning, Niangniang may summon you, but it is not a bad thing, but to thank you in person, and send His Royal Highness back to the capital safely, there will definitely be some rewards." ”
Empress?
According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the only people in the palace who can be called Niangniang are the queen and the imperial concubine, and no matter how low the level is, the concubine has no qualification.
After the death of Empress Yu, the emperor has not yet been established, but everyone knows that the future queen has basically been decided, and she is the current imperial concubine.
Today's emperor is extremely greedy for money, but he is not very lascivious, there is only one imperial concubine, and there are only a dozen concubines below.
The position of the queen has not yet arrived, and for the imperial concubine, a matter still needs to be fought for with all her heart, so the treatment of princesses and princesses who are not their own children also needs to be cared for, in order to show their virtuous virtues.
is linked to Luo Chong, that is: You saved Yongning, you have merit, as the imperial concubine, if I don't say anything, I will seem to care very little about Yongning's safety. So no, I must summon you, praise you, and reward you.
It must be a good thing to be an ordinary courtier, but Luo Chong will only feel troublesome, and when he enters the palace, he can only use cheating methods in the face of so many cumbersome etiquette.
Kneeling for someone else? That's impossible, you can't bow, so you have to cast some kind of illusion spell to make everyone think they've bowed respectfully.
Although it's just an illusion, and it doesn't really kneel, there will be a little awkwardness in my heart, but if I give up the game field in the capital for this thing, it's not necessary.
At noon that day, the soldiers below came to report that there were a few suspicious people wandering on the street outside the house, so should they be arrested and interrogated?
No!
Luo Chong knew that it must have been caused by the 'third young master' of the Hubu Shangshu family, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him, and when he went out, he would try his best to retaliate.
Although she can't directly use her father's power, she can do a lot of things in private with a group of fox friends and dog friends.
It's just a group of gentlemen, Luo Chong can't care about it, he is too lazy to go out, but he is not afraid of them.
In the afternoon of the same day, the eunuchs in the palace came and officially conveyed the invitation of the imperial concubine: early tomorrow morning, General Luo was invited to go to the palace for a walk.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Luo Chong followed several palace guards into the palace and went straight to the inner palace.
There are also special places in the inner palace to receive courtiers, and a large number of eunuchs and palace maids are secretly watching, so it is absolutely impossible for the imperial concubines to have an affair with a certain courtier.
A private invitation is not a formal occasion, Luo Chong was led to the side hall, this hall is smaller, but there is a garden, and the atmosphere is more soothing.
In the hall, not only the imperial concubine and Yongning were sitting, but also two other concubines in palace clothes, plus the palace maids and eunuchs, there were more than 30 people in the entire garden.
As soon as they entered the house, Luo Chong cast a hallucination spell, and in their perceptions, Luo Chong was of course a regular salute and greeting, without the slightest inappropriateness.
But in fact, Luo Chong walked over at this time, pressed the imperial concubine to the ground and molested her heartily, and she wouldn't notice anything afterwards, at most: Hey, it's so strange, when I saw him, why was he soaked underneath?
'After the salute', you can speak in a dignified manner, Luo Chong lifted the illusion spell, and stood straight in the hall, and the imperial concubine opposite was still there and nodded with a smile: "Okay, get up." ”
In fact, Luo Chong never went down at all.
Then she said to the other two concubines: "Sure enough, he is quite young, a talent, just looking at his appearance, who would have thought that he would be a battlefield general." ”
"Yes, that's what the mother said. ”
The two concubines smiled and responded, they should be concubines such as Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, etc., this situation reminded Luo Chong of the palace dramas he had watched on the earth.
are all observing Luo Chong from the perspective of elders, in fact, several of them are very young, the imperial concubine is in her thirties, and the other two are probably not even in their thirties.
"General Luo, please be seated. ”
By this time, a eunuch had brought a round stool and placed it slightly to the left. You can't put it in the middle, and it looks like a prisoner in the middle.
Since it was a private invitation, the courtier's table could be a little more casual and did not need to be so cautious, and then, Luo Chong felt much more comfortable.
The atmosphere of the Jin Dynasty was once quite enlightened, and it was said earlier that scholars would not be guilty of scolding the emperor angrily, and the emperor would summon a minister alone, as long as he did not deliberately beat him, he would give him a seat.
"General Luo, I invite you to come to thank you for appearing in time and sending Yongning back to the capital safely. ”
The imperial concubine opened her mouth leisurely and said slowly: "Yongning is the eldest princess, if it is true...... The face of the royal family and the court is gone. ”
"Niangniang is polite, this is what Weichen should do. ”
Luo Chong replied humbly on the surface, but said in his heart: The truth is clearly like this, her father, but only sent a few royal forest troops, it can be seen that this emperor is not only stupid, but also has no men's blood and sense of responsibility. With such a good look, I don't know if I can satisfy you.
During the conversation, Princess Yongning sat aside, although she didn't make a sound, she was staring at Luo Chong with an unusual look, and in the eyes of the two concubines, it became a feeling of 'affection'.
"I've heard Yongning say it......"
The imperial concubine said again: "You fought hard all the way, and in the face of tens of thousands of Qingyuan cavalry, only 500 people also killed countless enemies and brought back more than 800 enemy heads. This good news has also greatly eased the current tense atmosphere in the capital. ”
I'm afraid that the number concept of this noble concubine is quite vague, and there is a big difference between thousands and tens of thousands, and she can also say it together.
Luo Chong glanced at Yongning and said silently: What about storytelling?
Yongning pursed his lips and smiled, but did not correct anything.
As everyone knows, Wang Zhuoqing, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and a group of ministers are secretly hyping up Luo Chong's military exploits, and the excerpt that was finally reported to the emperor is even more exaggerated than this.
At this moment, in front of the three concubines, Luo Chong still had to show a little modesty, and then, the imperial concubine said: "I also heard Yongning say that in the battle of Hongyu half a year ago, you alone beheaded hundreds of heads of the Qingyuan Army. But why, didn't you hear your name at the court?"
At that time, Luo Chong was still a lowest-level soldier, and most of the credit was coveted by his superiors, and in the end he was only promoted to a small hundred, and his reputation could not reach the ears of the concubines, which was also normal.
For those unspoken rules in the army, no matter how much the imperial concubine doesn't understand, she knows some more or less, at this moment, she deliberately asked this way, just to test Luo Chong's reaction, so as to judge the character of this young general.
If he took the opportunity to cry out for injustice, he knelt down on the spot and begged Niangniang to call the shots, not to mention, the concubine Niangniang would really look down on him.
Luo Chong's response was quite natural, and he said calmly: "There must be a scale for rewarding meritorious deeds, I was just a low-level soldier at the beginning, and no matter how great the merit is, I should not ascend to the sky in one step." I think there's nothing wrong with taking it one step at a time. ”
"Well, I heard you say that, but it's the same thing. ”
The imperial concubine showed a look of appreciation, and nodded to the two concubines and said: "Seeing that he is so young, his temperament is also quite calm, and he understands the true meaning of the word 'solid' at a young age." ”
The two concubines both nodded with a smile, but they felt that this young man was very bold, and in front of the three of us, he didn't look restrained at all, unlike the other courtiers, who were respectful and couldn't sit still.
is young, and the manly spirit is already so sufficient, so it seems that it is also in line with the momentum that a battlefield general should have.
I have to say that the truth that the same sex excludes and the opposite sex attracts is really effective, and if it is replaced by a few important ministers in the court at this moment, it is very likely that Luo Chong's expression is quite dissatisfied: This kid is so calm, isn't it, there is no fear of us at all?
But as a woman, she knows how to appreciate men's courage, courage, and even rudeness, because most of these kinds of suzhì are lacking in women.
So in their eyes, Luo Chong's appearance at the moment is not annoying at all, and it is much more pleasing to the eye than those cowering ministers.
Next, the imperial concubine said again: "This time, no one will be able to rob you, not only for killing the enemy, but also for escorting the princess...... Do you have any thoughts on this?"
In other words, if you have any ideas, just say it, I will find an opportunity to blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor.
Such kindness, of course, is not out of appreciation for Luo Chong, but in order to win the favor of Princess Yongning, in exchange for Yongning to say a few words for her, the imperial concubine, in front of her father.
As the eldest sister, Yongning's prestige among the princes and princesses is still very high, and the relationship with the deceased queen is also the deepest.
"Wei Chen doesn't have too high an idea, but he just thinks that with my ability, there are only five hundred cavalry under my hands, which is not enough to give full play to my ability. ”
Luo Chong replied: "Not much, if there are three thousand iron cavalry, I dare to take them out, encircle and suppress the Qingyuan cavalry everywhere, it is impossible to give them the opportunity to endanger the capital." ”
If you want to lead 3,000 cavalry, you must at least be a miscellaneous general of the three grades, such as General Pingyu, General Pingkou, General Anyi, and so on.
But this is only a grade, as for the specific position, that is, which position is placed, then it has to be carefully studied. For appointments above the third rank, even the emperor has to respect the opinions of the ministers of the court, and it is not up to someone to have the final say.
(Coffee: Alas, it still doesn't work, after sitting for a long time, I still have neck pain, dizzy hair, or I haven't taken care of it, and it's okay to do other things.) But I've promised three more.,I still have to insist on it.,The third chapter will be after ten o'clock.。 )
