In the afternoon, in the back garden of Prince Xiang’s Mansion.
Baochai sat on the attic, quietly looking at the stage outside the building, where the play "Striking the Golden Boughs" was being performed.
The content of the play is that after Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty put down the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty married his daughter to his son Guo Ai. When Guo Ziyi and his wife celebrated their birthdays, the princess did not come out to pay her respects. Guo Ai angrily beat the princess after drinking. story.
The content of the play is relatively interesting, and there are two empresses, the elder and the younger, on the scene. The two of them are asking and answering questions, which makes it very lively.
When the opera ended and the character took her last breaths, Baochai said with a smile, "This princess is so true. Once she married into the Guo family, she became a family and should have lived in harmony."
< p>"Because of his high heart, he caused trouble, which led to these incidents. Now it is written into a drama and sung, and the dignified nobleman is actually laughed at by the world.""The so-called family harmony and everything is prosperous, if you want to avoid making trouble To make a joke, you have to put away your selfish thoughts and work together as a family."
"Sister Ting, do you think this is true?" Baochai finally glanced at Yang Jingting.
Yang Jingting smiled and replied, "It's a pity that Princess Shengping didn't understand this principle, so she was taught a lesson by her husband, which has become a joke in ancient and modern times."
Baochai smiled slightly, Still staring at Yang Jingting, she said, "Princess Shengping's car is in front of me. I should take it as a warning."
Her words can be called a clear statement, but in fact they are not in line with Baochai's forbearance and implicitness. character.
The reason why she said this was that she really didn't want to "fight" with Yang Jingting, because the restlessness in the house would only affect the reputation of Prince Xiang's palace.
Yang Jingting is a very smart person. When she heard Baochai's unusual tone, she immediately realized something.
Could it be that she had noticed what I was planning? Yang Jingting became alert.
Yang Jingting stood up, bent down and said, "It's time to take this as a warning. If my sister does something wrong, she should forget to remind her."
Seeing Yang Jingting Suddenly stood up to apologize, and the two empresses Zhen who were chatting happily looked in the direction of Yang Jingting.
While Yinglian was thinking, she heard Zhen Qin ask, "Sister Ting, why are you asking for forgiveness?"
"Sister Ting and I were joking," Baochai answered.
"What are you talking about?" Zhen Qin asked curiously. She loved hearing jokes the most.
Baochai replied, "I was reflecting on myself after listening to the play just now, saying that we should not imitate Princess Shengping's meddling, making the house restless and making people laugh."
Zhen Qin smiled and said, "Baochai. Sister, we have a deep love for each other and cannot be more harmonious. You are overthinking it."
Baochai nodded and said, "If there is something wrong, correct it and encourage it. The sage also said that my day I have to take care of myself."
Hearing Baochai's words, Yang Jingting still had a smile on her face, but she was already thinking about urging Chen Zhi to get the matter done as soon as possible.
In terms of family background, appearance, talent and learning, I am not inferior to you in everything. The princess should have been in my heart Yang Jingtingshouted.
In fact, from the time she chose the concubine to the present, although she has accepted the reality on the surface, she has always been dissatisfied with Baochai in her heart.
But before that, she felt that everything was destined to happen, so Yang Jingting suppressed her dissatisfaction in her heart and persuaded herself to just be a concubine.
However, Chen Zhi's recent advances have broken her peaceful life and released the thoughts she had suppressed in her heart.
"The princess has taught you a lesson, my sister must do more self-reflection," Yang Jingting replied solemnly.
It seemed that she had been taught a lesson, but Baochai knew that she had not yet returned, and his reminder today had no effect.
I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, Baochai thought to himself.
Then everyone dismissed the meeting, and Baochai went to Tongxin Hall on her own, but saw the female officer Du Hongmei waiting outside the hall.
After Baochai saluted, Baochai asked "What's the matter?"
Following Baochai, Du Hongmei hooked her waist and replied, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace. "It's about the prince."
Stopped, Baochai turned around and said, "Say"
"There was news in the palace that the prince personally came to the battlefield to kill the general and seize the flag. Break the enemy army and kill countless enemies."
"He went to the battlefield in person" Baochai asked worriedly. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew it was nonsense.
"Exactly, it is said that the prince killed hundreds of enemy troops, and now the Junggar people are afraid of him."
This is called spreading rumors. The battle report said that Zhu Jinghong beheaded eighty-seven people, but now But it has been passed down to hundreds.
"What else is there?" Baochai then asked.
"I have also heard that today the master issued an order to summon our prince back to the capital, so that you can be reunited with the prince."
Du Hongmei thought she was talking about it. Good news, but Baochai frowned when he heard it.
From a personal perspective, of course she hopes that her husband will come back, but from the overall perspective of the palace, Zhu Jinghong should not come back.
Although she is extremely intelligent, her human resources will eventually run out, and she is unable to deal with the imperial edict that has been issued.
August 20th was the third day that Zhu Jinghong sent back a battle report, and his third battle report was also sent back.
It was also the same eight-hundred-mile rush. The cavalry galloped down the long street, shouting the words "Great Victory in the Northwest".
News like good news has always been widely publicized in order to boost people's hearts.
So every time the battle report arrived in the town, the postmen would shout loudly to let the people know that the imperial court had won again.
Hearing the shouting in the distance, the people on the street stepped to the side of the road to prevent being hit by the fast horses.
However, there are always some people who stay in the middle of the road because they are distracted or for other reasons, such as Jia Baoyu who is wandering aimlessly.
"Second Master, be careful"
Fortunately, Ming Yan made quick movements and swooped over to pull Jia Baoyu over, thus preventing him from being knocked down by the cavalry.
"Blinded your dog's eyes"
Although the cavalry has gone away, heThe curse still came down the wind, causing Ming Yan 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 crown prince's biological brother after all, and he also had elders such as Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang who doted on him.
Although I dare not take too much care of him, it is not difficult to ensure that he lives a relatively comfortable life.
So even if Jia Baoyu was in despair, there were still a few servants around him and several girls in the house.
"Why are you here?" Jia Baoyu asked blankly, unaware of the danger just now.
"Second Master, it's time to go back to eat. It's already noon," Mingyan reminded.
"What did that person shout just now?"
Looking in the direction where the postman disappeared, Ming Yanfang said, "It seems that the northwest has won another battle. I heard that now the northwest It's Lord Xiang."
At this point, Ming Yan's voice stopped suddenly, as if she had touched some taboo.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw that the second master had a very ugly face.
"Second Master, let's go back." Mingyan helped Baoyu get up.
"Master Bao"
A greeting from a distance attracted the attention of Jia Baoyu and Jia Baoyu.
Mingyan did not recognize the visitor, but Jia Baoyu smiled when he saw him, and said to Mingyan, "That's my good friend. It's rare to meet him today. It's just a good time to catch up with him."
"But the Second Master"
"Give me some money, and I won't go back at noon." Baoyu stretched out his hand.
Mingyan was worried, so she said, "Second Master, I'd better follow you."
While they were talking, the young man opposite had already approached, and because of his handsome appearance, Mingyan was I looked at the smoke a few more times.
"Brother Yuhan, long time no see" Baoyu greeted him with a smile.
The binding force of the world line is so strong. Although Zhu Jinghong broke in and messed things up, many things were connected together.
For example, Jiang Yuhan, nicknamed Qiguan, met Jia Baoyu half a year ago, and the two already have a close friendship.
Jia Baoyu followed Jiang Yuhan, and the two entered the flower building as before.
In the past, Jia Baoyu only had a taste of it, but now Jia Baoyu feels that this place is excellent, and the full happiness can cover up his sadness.
While Baoyu was lingering in the brothel, the urgent military report from 800 miles away had been sent to the imperial court, and was reviewed and submitted to the imperial court after many checkpoints.
At this time, there were three cabinet ministers in the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, discussing with the emperor the allocation of money and grain in the northwest and the affairs of the Qingzhang of Jinling.
Taking the military arrival report, Zhu Xianming wanted to check it immediately, but in the end he held back.
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 "Military Report of the Northwest Governor's Office"
"IThe emperor is wise and enlightens the world, his virtue shines upon the sun and the moon, and his kindness extends to all people."
It starts with flattering the emperor, which is the basis of any memorial. Zhu Xianming usually skips it when he reads it.
p>
"It's important to pick it up," Zhu Xianming said solemnly
Cheng Ying paused, and then said, "On the ninth day of August, the army pretended to retreat on the northern front, and moved to the southern front. After the troops were cut off, the enemy troops first attacked the southern front half a day later. When the enemy troops arrived, the troops on the northern front attacked back."
"The enemy was caught off guard, and its vanguard on the northern flank was severely damaged, causing its attack to be frustrated and broken. We lost more than 4,000 troops."
Listening to the content of the battle report, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but smack his tongue, secretly thinking that he still underestimated this guy Lao Shisan.
The three bachelors present, He was also shocked when he heard this, secretly thinking that Zhu Jinghong's results in the past two days had almost caught up with Ning Huanxiang's total score.
"On the 10th of August, our army's left and right fronts retreated at the same time, and the enemy retreated. The army did not dare to pursue at first and then pursued for half a day."
"Our army waited for work and set up an ambush at the pass of the old castle, wiping out more than 3,000 enemy forwards."
Another great result. , which made Zhu Xianming almost break his guard.
After all, at such a young age, let alone achieve such results, he did not 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 majestic emperor of the empire, Zhu Xianming was a little jealous of his stupid son.
However, when this mood rose, he also felt a little ashamed in his heart, secretly thinking. As Lao Shisan said, he was too small as an emperor.
Zhu Jinghong would never have imagined that even though he was thousands of miles away, he still found his father.
"The enemy's attack was thwarted, and the patrol did not dare to advance rashly. At night on the 10th day of the lunar month, our army withdrew to Guazhou City." level, Qinghai Xingdusi tribes 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 enemies."
< p>Nowadays, the assessment of military merit is extremely strict, so there is little possibility of taking merit. Killing so many enemy heads is considered a great victory."The Thirteenth Lord's Guards came to the battle in person. There were more than one hundred and thirty people, among whom the Thirteenth Master killed one hundred and twenty-five levels of enemies."
This guy went into battle to kill the enemy again
Hearing the last sentence read by Cheng Ying, Zhu Xianming I was really surprised.
I, Taizu and Shizu were not so brave back then.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming felt a little more balanced. After all, he was an emperor.
In fact, Zhu Xianming's mentality changed so smoothly, which originally proved that he was broad-minded.
He did not lead any more troops after he became emperor. In the coming year, he spent most of his time on military campaigns.
Enemy states such as Junggar, Rakshasa, and Mughals, as well as the Mongolian vassals in Tibet and those in the southwestern states who refused to be kings, all received his justice. Iron Fist.
Although he rarely went to the battlefield to fight in person, at least two to three hundred thousand enemy troops were destroyed in his hands.
Faced with Zhu Jinghong's achievements, he was finally able to maintain a normal attitude and just lamented that at his age, he was like a little son.
After listening to the entire battle report, the three bachelors present were greatly surprised. They only thought that Zhu Jinghong not only knew how to fight, but he was also a god of murder, the kind that killed the enemy himself.
"That's right, it was a good fight," Zhu Xianming said calmly.
"The Thirteenth Master has great strategy and careful deployment based on the combination of reality and reality. Therefore, he was able to severely damage the enemy army. This all depends on your Majesty's teaching."
Among the three bachelors, only the most senior The shallow Zheng Zhiqing would immediately flatter the emperor at this moment.
But his words really benefited the emperor, and he heard Zhu Xianming say, "If he had worked harder, he wouldn't have killed so many enemy troops."
Afterwards, Zhao Yushan and Chen Jinyun followed up by praising Emperor Deze, and the atmosphere in Nuan Pavilion became much more relaxed.
After signaling everyone to be quiet, Zhu Xianming said, "Since he played well, it would be inappropriate to suddenly change generals."
After saying this, he glanced at Cheng Ying and said, "Summon him immediately." The Hanlin Academy drafted a decree to order him to continue to command the war until Liu Fang takes office. He will be allowed to stay in the governor's office and serve as military counselor at Liu Fang's side. He is strictly prohibited from participating in battle again. ”
The imperial edict issued yesterday was for Zhu Jinghong to come back after the delivery. This is an amendment to yesterday’s edict.
The three academicians clearly understood the difference between the two wills. At this moment, although the three of them had different thoughts, none of them expressed their opinions.
Cheng Ying went to Hanlin Garden to convey the decree. When the time came in the afternoon, the latest battle report was also spread in the palace. In a few hours, the upper echelons of the capital would know about it.
Of course Yang Qingyin also knew the situation, so she went to Qianqing Palace in person, just as the three bachelors had left.
"Your Majesty, Old Thirteen is becoming more and more wanton and reckless. It would be better to recall him as soon as possible." Yang Qingyin requested with a serious expression.
Zhu Xianming smiled awkwardly, stood up and faced the Queen and said, "I have issued a special order for the Queen not to come to the battlefield in person."
Hearing this, Yang Qingyin still looked unkind and cold. Leng said, "How did I hear that your Majesty ordered the Thirteenth to stay in the northwest and counsel for military affairs?"
"You think I don't want him to come back, but you also know this kid's temper. He will have to die or live until he comes back." So what if?" Zhu Xianming said with great helplessness.
"Isn't it because you think he is useful that you want to put him on the battlefield?" Yang Qingyin asked.
Zhu Xianming said angrily, "Why do you want to slander me like this? The Ming Dynasty has millions of good generals and thousands of soldiers. Could it be that without him, Old Thirteen can't fight the war?"
"Okay He has been told not to go into battle. Liu Fang will be there to hold him down and nothing will happen to him. Don’t worry."
Realizing that summoning Zhu Jinghong back to Beijing would cause unrest, Yang Qingyin could only accept the emperor's request. ofArrangement, but his expression became more and more worried.
At the other end of the Ningshou Palace, some people were also worried about Zhu Jinghong.
"This boy is even more fierce than the fourth child back then, and his future life is to be feared."
The one who said this was the Supreme Emperor Zhu Xinkan, and the fourth child he mentioned was the current emperor.
"Who says it's not the case? In just these two days, I personally killed more than 200 enemies. King Xiang is really young at his age."
How is that, Zhen The concubine didn't even know what words to use to describe it, after all, she had heard of these things before.
Zhu Xinkan said with a smile, "This boy compares himself to the Overlord of Western Chu, saying that he is braver than anyone else, and now he is convinced."
After that, he There were a few more dry coughs, obviously caused by talking too much.
After Concubine Zhen took good care of her, Zhu Xinkan returned to normal.
"I'm looking forward to it now. The battle report will be sent back tomorrow. I don't know how this kid will deal with it." Zhu Xinkan smiled. Please remember to collect it.
