Chapter 344: Eventful Autumn Frost (1)
It is said that "people are in good spirits when they are happy", but after Du Chong was promoted to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Zheng Erpin, his face became haggard day by day, and he also had clearly visible white hair on his head.
He was originally just a local official, if it wasn't for Xia Muchao's timely discovery and support, he might still be working in the fields with a back injury.
Life and death are still unpredictable, let alone wealth?
"Soldiers die for their confidants", he was willing to die for Xia Muchao, but he had no chance, so he had to repay Xia Chengxuan.
The affairs of the palace are related to the safety of the royal family, and even directly related to the life and death of the emperor.
In the past four months, he has been busy non-stop, eager to do everything and check everything properly. After a long time, his body will be weakened, and the old wound on his waist will come again.
Xia Chengxuan knew that he was working hard, and persuaded him to rest more several times, but Du Chong only agreed verbally, and then forgot when he turned his head, and he was always vigilant in his heart: "I can't make any mistakes anymore!"
The matter of Tianmen City was not his fault, but he had not been able to let go.
"If I act more cautiously, maybe I can detect the movements of King Yun's Mansion and Zhao Thief, and I can warn the prince earlier, so that the prince will not be martyred, and I will not be tired of Jian Ting, Xu Kuan, Master Hanqi, Master Hundu... Master Chongming and a group of royal soldiers lost their lives. ”
The Internal Affairs Mansion is outside the palace, Xia Chengxuan didn't want Du Chong to rush early and late every day, so he asked people to clean up a small mansion for him in the Deacon Hall of the Internal Affairs Mansion and took his wife and children over.
"It's an eventful autumn, special affairs!" Xia Chengxuan replied to Feng Benchu's admonition with this sentence.
Fortunately, the palace has three floors: the periphery, the inner perimeter and the inner garden, and the periphery is separated from the inner garden by nine defenses. After all, the attack and killing of the Dahua eunuch by the dead soldiers of the Turkic country is still vivid, and it is not impossible for someone to take Du Chong's family again and force him to do something as a last resort.
Before the clock rang, he went to light the lamp, and in the past four months, he has been the first to come to the deacon's hall almost every day.
At the end of last month, Xia Muzhou reported that the Zhijin Weifu had found traces of the activities of the dead soldiers of the Turkic Kingdom in the capital, but they soon lost their whereabouts, which was not good for the imperial court.
For this matter, Du Chong has not rested for three hours for nearly ten days.
There are thieves secretly moving at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where can he, the head of the palace forbidden, sit still?
It's just that there is a vast sea of people, and it is not easy to find a few thieves who are good at hiding in the huge capital. In addition to careful inspection and card setting, more also need to have good luck.
Yes, the imperial court often needs luck to handle cases.
"Du Chong!" Chu Zhong hurriedly called out as soon as he entered the deacon hall of the Internal Affairs Mansion.
Du Chongzheng was carefully looking at the submission of the Zhijin Wei Mansion in his hand, and when he heard that Chu Zhong was calling himself outside, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Uncle Chu, come here so early, but what's the matter?"
Chu Zhong stood still in front of him, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it over.
"What?" After reading the letter, Du Chong's face changed greatly, and he asked urgently, "How is the princess now?"
Knowing that the Turks were walking around the capital, Du Chong strengthened the palace defenses, and also discussed with Xia Muzhou several measures to strengthen the defense, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late.
Chu Zhong's expression was sad, his face was full of pity, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he replied in a low voice: "The princess is unconscious, and the imperial doctors in the house have seen it, but they don't know why, which is exactly what the letter says." ”
At that time, the government soldiers were patrolling room, and a wooden box was suddenly thrown in outside the door, and when he picked it up, it was a letter inside, and the government soldiers hurriedly presented the letter to Chu Zhong.
Chu Zhong opened the letter and saw that his face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly led someone to call Xia Chengyi's bedroom.
Wisteria walked to Xia Chengyi's room in a daze, and called her several times before she realized that something was wrong, and finally understood why Grandpa Chu, who had always been in charge of things, would suddenly bring someone to call early.
"This matter must be reported to the emperor immediately. Let's go, let's go find the emperor!" Du Chong received the letter, returned it to Chu Zhong, and said softly.
... ...
Hate Hongchen's injury is far more serious than Yun Xiaoyang said, she was afraid that Mei Yuanchen would worry, so she deliberately said it lightly, but it is true that this injury does not hinder her life.
First, he hated Hongchen's internal strength and had a strong physical foundation, and secondly, Yun Xiaoyang had confidence in his medical skills.
Since the part of the needle is in the waist and abdomen, only Hate Hongchen and Yun Xiaoyang are left in the room.
"Are you from Suxin Palace?" Hate Hongchen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yun Xiaoyang, and asked Zhengse.
Zhenwuguan's analgesics have the purpose of paralysis and hypnosis, and Hate Hongchen was originally sweating all over his body in pain, and he lost consciousness soon after taking the medicine. However, more than an hour had passed at this time, the effect of the medicine had weakened, and the pain in the wound had become more and more intense, and she had woken up.
Before waking up, her face showed a slight look of pain, beads of sweat hung on her forehead and neck, and Yun Xiaoyang had been wiping her sweat with a hot handkerchief.
Hate Hongchen woke up at this time, she was not surprised, she was strange, why Hate Hongchen woke up and asked if she was a person from Suxin Palace.
"Yes, I'm from Suxin Palace. Yun Xiaoyang chuckled and replied, "Your injuries are very serious, and there is blood in your abdomen, I will give you an injection in a while to drain the blood." ”
Knowing that she was not a begonia, she was actually a little happy. Everyone has selfishness, which woman would be willing to share a lover with others?
"Although she looks like a begonia, she is not a begonia after all..."
"When I was in Jinzhou in July, I brought two little babies to Tianxinzhou from the door of Suxin Palace, and they... Have they brought it?" Hate Hongchen asked as if he hadn't heard her.
In the past few months, there have always been people from the Nine Palaces by her side, and she has been tired of avoiding and has not had the time to find out the news of the two dolls, which is a knot in her heart. Although she was lying on the bed, she vaguely heard someone calling "Master Yuntang", and vaguely heard someone say "Suxin Palace" or something, and guessed Yun Xiaoyang's identity after some association, yes, the first thing she said when she woke up was to confirm her identity.
Yun Xiaoyang held her hand, so that she was relieved, but replied with a smile: "Yes, the palace sent me a message, saying that both the male and female babies are very healthy. At present, they are all taken care of by the grandmother in the palace, and if something can't go wrong, you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”
Looking at her smile, Hate Hongchen actually had a good feeling in his heart. However, she was cold after all, and the "thank you" was held back for a long time, but she still didn't say it after all.
... ...
In the past few months, not only has Du Chong forgotten to sleep and eat, but Xia Chengxuan has not been exhausted?
National hatred, family hatred, national affairs and family affairs, which one does not want him to worry about and plan?
"Zhao Qianming... ... Zhao Qianming is still alive!" He has not forgotten his father's blood feud, his mother's resentment, and his poisonous oath.
The land of Shatuo is vast and sparsely populated, and there is nothing more precious than man. Zhao Qianming led 50,000 people to surrender, and the Shatuo Kingdom was overturned.
After Xia Chengxuan ascended the throne, he appointed Ran Jiangong as the general stationed in the north, commanding the northwest frontier defense and the garrison army. He is Xia Chengxuan's maternal uncle, and he deservedly guarded the northwest gate of Dahua.
Yesterday, the military department presented a report from Ran Jiangong, and Zhao Qianming led the original army stationed in the north to Xiaoxiankou, and it seemed that he was preparing for a long-term station. This is a heaven-sent opportunity for vengeance.
It's just that he is now a general of Sha Tuo, once Ran Jiangong leads his troops to kill him, how can Sha Tuo stand by and watch?
Not to mention the Snow Country in the north, the Turk Country and the Xian Ma in the south...
"The revenge of killing your father must be avenged, you must not be avenged!"
"Dahua's country must not be lost, and there is no room for loss!"
After thinking about it for a night, he couldn't come up with a solution for both worlds.
"Your Majesty, Lord Du Chong and Grandpa Chu are asking to see you outside the palace. The old eunuch on duty leaned over and gently came over to report.
