Chapter 146: Rong Ruo Returns to Beijing and Returns to Hiding (Finale)

Previous Chapter

Rong Ruo divided all his troops into three teams and stationed them on three beacon towers. And treat other soldiers who descended to the city, and the people of Yunnan are all grateful for Rong Ruo's arrival.

The urgent reports from the border passes were transmitted back to the Central Plains one after another, although Xuan Ye was worried about the war in his heart, but this enemy was afraid that he would return to the west. Xuan Ye was supposed to drive the expedition in person, but the situation in the south is not yet clear, if the three feudatories form a situation of encirclement, I am afraid it will not be solved in a day and a half. Xuan Ye put down his hand and instructed the eunuch beside him: "Prepare a sedan chair for me and go to Mingzhu's house." The old eunuch said timidly: "Your Majesty, it's only the fourth watch, isn't it a little early?" Xuan Ye yawned and stretched: "Then go out for a walk with me!" The old eunuch beckoned the other maidservants beside him to wait for the emperor to change his clothes. Suddenly, Xuan Ye turned around and said, "Just bring me that civilian clothes and put them on." The old eunuch whispered, "Yes!"

After changing his clothes, Xuan Ye did not send others to follow him, but climbed out of the palace wall in the backyard alone. Looking at the lively morning market and the merchants around him, Xuan Ye felt for the first time that he had become a good emperor who took responsibility for the people, and he unconsciously walked to the gate of the Ming Mansion when he was proud. Xuan Ye hid aside and looked carefully, among them were some of the old ministers around the Empress Dowager, Xuan Ye knew in his heart that the old ancestors were also thinking about their own country, although most of these old ministers were useless, their appeal in the local area was also unmatched. Just thinking about how to get in, he was discovered by Feng Chen, who walked out from behind Xuan Ye and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go! Let's go in together!" Xuan Ye said embarrassedly: "I don't have a wedding card or a congratulatory gift, how can I get in?" Feng Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I'm the same, nothing!" Xuan Ye smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that there are such people in the world now!" Xuan Ye touched himself, found a piece of his own personal jade pendant, and handed it to Feng Chen's hand:" Give this jade pendant to those guards, just because the two of us are friends of Nalan Rongruo's son. When Xuan Ye handed over the jade pendant to Feng Chen, Feng Chen's mind suddenly flashed Snow Mountain, Sword Pavilion, Library Pavilion, the scene of the purpose and the familiar person in front of him, which made him have a splitting headache and fainted on the ground. The guards not far away saw someone fall at the gate of Nalan Mansion, for fear of touching the mildew, and were about to drive them away, but who happened to meet Rong Ruogongzi who came out in a wedding dress.

Rong Ruo knew at a glance that this was the son of Feng Chen, and hurriedly ordered to be invited into the mansion, and the afterglow swept away the son next to Feng Chen, so frightened that his legs trembled, and when he was about to kneel, he was supported by Xuan Ye: "Brother Rong Ruo, what are you doing here! Go, let's talk inside." Rong Ruo swaggered into the Ming Mansion with Xuan Ye, and as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, he heard the voice of Nalan Mingzhu behind him: "The old minister respectfully invites the emperor." Xuan Ye waved his sleeves: "I am here to get married, there is no such politeness, you should be busy with your first!" Rong Ruo picked up the wine jar on the table and raised it and said: "Minister, respect the emperor for this jar of wine, do not destroy the rebels, and swear not to return to Beijing." Xuan Ye held his hand: "Rong Ruo, it's good that you understand my hard work." At this time, Rong Ruo's heart was like a knife, because he was about to marry someone he didn't love. Xuan Ye snatched the wine jar from Rong Ruo's hand: "Drink less, I will accompany you to drink for a while." The sound of firecrackers outside the door sounded, and the lively atmosphere was all ignited for a while. The attendant shouted, "The bride is coming!" Rong Ruo raised his tired eyes, Xuan Ye was invited by Mingzhu to sit in the right seat, and Mingzhu and his wife sat in the second seat. Rong Ruo invited Miss Lu out of the sedan chair, and then worshiped heaven and earth according to that custom. After the ceremony, Rong Ruo walked to the table and continued to pick up the wine jar to drink, when suddenly Feng Chen walked in from outside the door and smashed the wine jar in Rong Ruo's hand with a sword, and pulled Rong Ruo out: "Go! Rong Ruo pushed away the dust: "Who are you! Seeing that this situation was not right, Xuan Ye hurriedly went up to stop Feng Chen and whispered, "When there is no one for a while, we will talk about it." All the guests went to the courtyard to start preparing for the wedding feast, and Mingzhu quietly instructed the housekeeper beside him to deliver the wine he had prepared last night to Rong Ruo. Rong Ruo didn't think about it, picked it up and drank it. Xuan Ye first stabilized the sealing dust and whispered: "Now that Wu Sangui has raised troops in Yunnan, if the prince is willing, why not serve the court." "On a whim, he told the truth about his plans and strategies.

Just when everyone was chatting and drinking, Rong Ruo had already been drunk by the wine that had been poured into the drug first, and then was carried to the marriage room by the subordinates of the Ming Mansion, and Feng Chen and Xuan Ye also drank a lot, naturally they were so floating that they couldn't even stand on their feet, where was there any spare time to take care of Rong Ruo, while they were happy, Xuan Ye had to drag Feng Chen to his imperial study, and the two of them swayed back to the palace in a sedan chair. Rong Ruo returned to the marriage room, as if everything around him had changed, he saw that he was wearing the new clothes that Wan'er had made for herself, and he heard her calling her name softly in the red tent. Rong Ruo hugged her in his arms: "Wan'er, I don't know when I will return after being rehabilitated, if you miss me, just play the guqin." As he spoke, he blew out the candles and embraced each other.

When he woke up the next day, Rong Ruo found himself lying with Lu, and in a panic, he picked up his shoes and ran. ran into the yard and provoked the maidservant and the servants to laugh for a while. Rong Ruo hurriedly returned to the study, changed into his outfits, and entered the palace to face the saint and prepare to lead the troops to the west to eradicate the rebellious party. It just so happened that Feng Chen also discussed wartime strategies with Xuan Ye all night, and when he saw Rong Ruo's red light coming over, he said with a smile: "Did Nalan Gongzi sleep well last night?" Rong Ruo didn't say a word and just lowered his head: "The minister is here to lead the troops to the battle." Xuan Ye pointed at Feng Chen and said, "I have found you a good military advisor." Feng Chen bowed to Rong Ruo and said: "Although your martial arts are slightly weak, your courage and strategy also make me admire Feng Chen. Xuan Ye clapped his hands happily and said, "I can only stand on the city wall this time and watch you go to the west, and I will be happy to drink in triumph in the coming day." After speaking, Rong Ruo went to order troops, and Feng Chen followed on the side.

The journey to Yunnan was quite smooth, and the horse marched in less than half a month. It's a pity that Wu Sangui has already set up troops to wait for you to enter the urn, who knows that Rong has already seen through his deception, and directly divided the troops into three ways to form a siege. Feng Chen's kung fu is not bad, and he directly captures the king among the ten thousand armies. When Wu Sangui was captured, he still remembered the revenge in his heart. When Rong Ruo saw Wu Sangui, he only said superficially: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." Wu Sangui knew that the general trend had gone, and sighed helplessly: "If Xuan Ye is not good emperor one day, the people of the world will also turn against him." ”
