Daiyu and Yingchun talked a lot, but with her words today, it was impossible for Yingchun to eliminate the depression.
Half an hour later, Daiyu said goodbye and left, and Yingchun sent her to the door of the house.
After Daiyu left, Si Qifang said: "Girl, Miss Lin is right, you have to look forward in everything, don't think too much about the past!"
"Isn't it more important to live a happy life than anything else? Why bother with yourself!"
Yingchun sighed and said, "How can I compare to her!"
Experiencing miscarriage and not having a family status, two of the biggest things in a woman's life were hit hard, but Yingchun's psychology was not distorted and she was already doing well.
"Girl, no matter what, if you continue to do this, you will only lose yourself!"
"To put it bluntly, if you are always like this, His Highness will not be able to do it." You will be unhappy, and it will be even more difficult for you in the future!"
"You have to think about what I told you before. You have to be openly happy but secretly sad, so that your Highness can... …”
For Yingchun, Si Qi really tried his best to protect it, thinking only of necessary and practical methods.
"Girl, a clear path is right in front of you, why do you always stop moving forward!"
At the end of the sentence, Siqi was so anxious that he even spoke They all forgot about sense of proportion.
Fortunately, Yingchun could tell clearly that Si Qi really cared about her, so he didn't mind what she said.
In fact, after Daiyu's explanation today, and thinking of Zhu Jinghong's previous promises, Yingchun's heart has been touched.
"I know, I will pay attention to it in the future!"
Hearing this, Si Qi did not take it lightly, but muttered: "You have said this before. Pass!”
“It’s true this time!” Yingchun said very seriously.
Si Qi suddenly smiled and answered: "In that case, I suggest...that later, in the name of giving lectures on scriptures, the girl invites His Highness to come over for tea and listen to scriptures. How about that?"
p>"Ah..."
"Huh?"
Seeing Si Qi press forward step by step, Yingchun could only reply: "Okay!"
"Well, girl, get ready!"
"What are you preparing for?"
Si Qi felt like an old woman, and couldn't help but put her forehead on her head and said: " Prepare for the sermon and what to say in the evening!"
"Oh!"
The time soon came and Zhu Jinghong returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The prince also went to discuss today. During the period, the two brothers chatted for a few words, but the content of the conversation was very superficial.
There are four main contents of the discussion, namely preparations for the northwest war, changes in the situation on the southwest border, counter-insurgency matters in Hunan, and the implementation of Qingzhang in Hubei.
These four items are all major events. Zhu Jinghong only spoke on the first three matters, and he was relatively conservative throughout the whole process. He only mentioned the points that should be mentioned and did not elaborate too much..
As soon as he returned to the palace, Zhu Jinghong went to see Daiyu, but he didn't know where he was.
"Brother-in-law...are you here to find me?"
Baoqin's courtyard is next to Daiyu's. When Zhu Jinghong returned in anger, he happened to meet him outside Baoqin's courtyard. .
Zhu Jinghong laughed and asked: "Where are you from?"
Baoqin leaned over and replied: "I went to Sister Yinglian's place and had a chat. After a while, I went to Sister Keqing's courtyard again!"
Zhu Jinghong then asked: "Why don't you see Miss Lin?"
Bao Qin's smile disappeared and she pursed her lips and said, "You are here? You have to ask her!"
Stepping forward, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile: "Why...are you making trouble again?"
"Who made trouble with her!" Baoqin immediately denied it.
She has no conflict with Daiyu, she is just jealous at this time.
In Bao Qin's view, no one could enter Prince Xiang's Mansion. He and his brother-in-law were obviously closer, so why did Daiyu pay more attention to her.
"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid the fuss is not serious!"
"It wasn't even a fuss to begin with!" Bao Qin jumped anxiously.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from the corner: "Hey... what's wrong?"
Zhu Jinghong and Bao Qin knew who it was without looking.
"Girl Lin, where have you been?"
Daiyu shook her fan and said as she approached: "Master Thirteen, you should pay more attention to Sister Baoqin. Look at you. I'm so angry that I'm about to cry!"
"It has nothing to do with my brother-in-law!" Bao Qin immediately replied while sticking close to Zhu Jinghong.
Look, brother-in-law, we are a family, and she will make sarcastic remarks... Baoqin cursed.
Daiyu was not annoyed at all, she just said lightly: "You are a family, it is me, an outsider who talks too much!"
The less angry Daiyu is, the more Baoqin will be. I felt like I was jumping up and down like a fool.
"You..."
Seeing that the two girls were about to quarrel, Zhu Jinghong said: "Okay, okay... we are all a family, there are no outsiders here!"
p>
"Come... follow me to Yin'an Palace. I have something to tell you!"
Unexpectedly, Baoqin tilted her head and asked: "Tell us? Are you talking to us? Sister Lin said, do you still want to tell me?"
Zhu Jinghong stretched out his finger and hit her on the forehead. When she retreated in pain, Fang said, "You will know after you go there!"
p>It is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to talk and laugh with the little beauties, and Zhu Jinghong naturally enjoys it.
Daiyu Baoqin was here during this period, which added a lot of joy to him.
When we arrived at Yin'an Hall, we joked with the two of them for a while. Nuo Minqiqige also came over, and the scene became even more lively.
Later, Zhu Jinghong received an invitation to welcome the Spring Festival, and he accepted the invitation to make up for his debt.
Welcoming the Spring Festival is exactly what Si Qi said, he acted very indifferently throughout the whole process, as ifBuddha looked past everything that had happened before and asked Zhu Jinghong not to worry too much, saying that he would be very sad.
Suddenly, as Si Qi expected, Zhu Jinghong felt even more pity for Yingchun, so much so that he spent the night directly at her place.
Let’s not mention the matters in the capital for the moment. Let’s talk about Hunan, which is thousands of miles away. The suppression of bandits here is progressing very slowly.
Three county towns were invaded by rebels, and the city defense facilities were re-reinforced, making it very difficult for the imperial army to attack.
As of June 28, only Luxi County had been recovered, and Mayang and Chenxi counties were still occupied by the rebels.
Liang Yi, the prince-in-law, appeared ten miles north of Chenxi County. At this time, there was a pass in front of him, which was filled with trapped people. Of course, they could be called rebels.
Liang Yi came with the army to observe. The commander of the guard who had just directed the battle was ambushed and shot, so he forcibly took over the command as an imperial envoy.
Strictly speaking, Liang Yi made a big mistake with this move, because the emperor did not authorize it at all. He was cheating
Fortunately, he succeeded. At this critical moment, He was given command.
But now, the situation is not optimistic.
The information they received was that there were only three hundred rebels and five thousand rebels in Chenxi County, so they prepared three thousand soldiers for the attack.
The reason why more troops are not sent is that, first, other troops are needed to defend other important roads, and second, there are too many troops and they cannot be deployed in the mountains.
However, in reality, there are far more than 5,000 rebellious people.
For example, at least three thousand people gathered to guard the pass in front of him, and the latest news Liang Yi received from Tanma was that there were three to four thousand people approaching on the west and east sides. .
In other words, the total number of people is more than 10,000, distributed within a radius of less than five miles.
At this moment Liang Yi had to admit that his army was surrounded.
To be honest, he was a little panicked, but he immediately sent several teams to ask for help, and at the same time analyzed which direction it would be easier to break out.
Going south toward the pass will be the first to be eliminated. Going north on the narrow mountain road will be more difficult for the army to deploy. If it is intercepted, it is likely to be cut into two parts.
There is a big river to the west, and larger mountains to the east.
For a while, Liang Yi couldn't make a choice.
"Prince-in-law... how do you do it, please tell me something!"
Liang Yi was thinking, several thousand households couldn't wait, and he boldly asked directly stand up.
"Go north!" Liang Yi decided directly.
It's dangerous in that direction, but there are friendly forces thirty miles to the north, so the risk is relatively lower.
Now that he had made up his mind, Liang Yi did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered to drive north.
At the same time, he tried to get all the departments together as much as possible so that they could support each other when dealing with attacks.
After only walking one mile, Liang Yi received a report saying that on the northwest sideLess than a mile away, the bandits were already rushing towards us.
The enemy troops on the east side were stretched to a distance of four miles.
"Drive away the mob in front, and we will be safe!"
Several Qianhu also knew this, so they immediately went down to arrange the deployment. A few minutes later, the two armies encountered each other. .
The clothes of the imperial officers and soldiers are relatively uniform, some officers and soldiers have armor, and almost everyone has weapons. This is a normal situation for ordinary guards.
On the opposite side, it can hardly be called an army. It is normal for the clothes to be inconsistent. The key is that they even lack weapons, which vividly explains what it means to rise up.
"Forward!" Liang Yi issued a military order.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty steadily advanced towards the rebels ahead.
Among the chaotic people, there are also people who are responsible for commanding, who are the backbone of the anti-thieves.
"Everyone, the food and land have been distributed to you, and all the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been waived. Whether you can hold on... it all depends on you!"
The burly man responsible for commanding the rebels The man only said very simple words to boost morale, but he made all the people tighten their weapons.
"Kill..."
The two armies came together and fought each other in the mountains and forests. Although the rebels were not afraid of death, they could not compete with the professional army.
Ten minutes later, the rioters left hundreds of corpses behind and fled after being defeated by the army.
The unlucky ones and those who ran slower were all captured by the Ming army.
But Liang Yi didn't have time to be happy, but he was told that the random names that had just been repelled had gathered in again and brought in more people, and now they were pressing on them again.
What's even worse is that the bandit soldiers on the east side are also pressing over. At this moment, they are in a situation of being attacked from both sides.
Originally wanting to rush away from the rebels and run away, Liang Yi could only fight hard at this moment, so he ordered his ministries to occupy favorable terrain and prepare to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
They have less than 3,000 troops under their command, and the number of people from the east and west plus those chasing after them from the south has exceeded 10,000. It is extremely difficult to break away, and it is much more reliable to hold on.
Aware of the Ming army's movements, the rebels slowed down. From a God's perspective, they were adjusting their position to tie their pockets tighter.
After another twenty minutes, all intersections were blocked, and then the army of rioters began to shrink in the middle.
Looking at the crowds of heads in all directions, Liang Yi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The situation was much worse than he expected!
"Why are there so many rioters? Could it be that all the people in Chenxi County have joined the bandits?" Liang Yi couldn't help but angrily rebuke.
The changes in the situation made his heart sink further and further, because as time went by, the number of rioters continued to increase.
It doesn’t seem to be too difficult if they really want to swarm up and kill them from all directions to overwhelm these two or three thousand people.
"Prince-in-law...someone came in front and said he wanted to talk to the general who led the army!" A member of the Qianhu family came to report.
Liang Yi felt suspicious, so he ordered the messenger to be brought in.
After a few breaths, a total of five people were brought to him, and the leader was a strong man.
“You won’t kneel down even when the prince consort is in front of you!” the guards on the left and right scolded.
The man replied: "We are already rebels, and we will die...why kneel down!"
The guards were about to teach them a lesson, but Liang Yi waved his hand to stop him. , and then asked: "Tell me...why do you want to see me?"
"We don't want to kill people, we just want to live a good life. As long as you hand over half of your weapons, we can make way for you to leave." !"
Liang Yi laughed angrily when he heard this. This was actually a rebel talking to the army.
"I am the one who should say this. You are being kidnapped by thieves. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender to the court...the Holy One will be merciful and will certainly forgive your crimes!"
"The Holy One is merciful..."
At the mention of these four words, several people present showed a look of ridicule, and then the leader said: "If he was merciful, he would not have so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, forcing We have to sell our sons and daughters, and our lives would be worse than death..."
"He is in a golden palace thousands of miles away, receiving worship from the world and enjoying himself endlessly. How could he care about the lives of humble people like us?"< /p>
"Shut up, you are so rebellious and you deserve death!" Liang Yi scolded.
Looking at the swords of the guards on the left and right being unsheathed, the leading man said with a smile: "Treason? You deserve death? General... if we really fight, you will definitely die!"
"Do you think those people outside were forced here by us? Do you think they are just people from Chenxi County? You are wrong... There are people from Luxi, Mayang, even Xupu and Yuanzhou!"
"They are all forced to survive, and they all want to use their hoes and poles to find a way out for themselves...so they will definitely fight hard!"
Liang Yi threatened others, On the contrary, he was criticized so much by others that he didn't know how to reply for a while.
"In recent years, the imperial court has added some new taxes in order to quell the rebellion in the northwest and eliminate the maritime troubles in the southwest..."
"But these are all for the purpose of stabilizing the world and benefiting the country above. I just raised some taxes to benefit you. I don’t understand...why you are rebelling!”
Liang Yi really couldn’t figure it out, because he was a “meat eater” and could not stand completely on the side of ordinary people! Look at the problem from perspective.
The ordinary taxes he mentioned, even if they were only two or three cents of silver, were indeed crushing to death, but he would not feel it at all.
So at this moment, he can say righteously: "Although you don't understand the difficulties of the court, I have said it... The Holy One's kindness benefits the world. As long as you surrender now, the Holy One can forgive you." "Death penalty!"
Hearing these last few words, the leading man was stunned.He laughed, and then he didn't argue any further.
"If you leave half of you without weapons, we can let you go. If you don't stay...you will all die!"
"I want to see...what will happen in the end?" Who will die!" Liang Yi sneered.
Then he ordered people to capture these people, but he did not order them to be killed, but really wanted them to see who would die and who would live.
Seeing that the envoy had not returned, Liu Zhuming, the leader of the bandits in charge, also known as the "Emperor of the Han Dynasty", immediately ordered all ministries to start attacking.
It can be seen from his changed name that this guy is at odds with the Ming Dynasty. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
