Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

Nanyang City was bustling and bustling as usual, Xiao Hanqing came to see Rong Cheng more often when he had an excuse, and Rong Cheng would accompany him around the city to show his kindness as a landlord.But Rong Che, who was approaching the defense line in the southern border, would not have such a leisurely heart. After sneaking into Youheng Mountain, the rebel army retreated to Hukou Pass, abandoning Pingsha, which is a better pass.

Fortunately, Rong Che had already made arrangements. King Jingyuan never expected that the wolf in front would not catch up with him, but was intercepted by the tiger behind him.However, he had nothing to fear in the face of [-] of his original subordinates, but the battle lasted for two days and two nights, and the rebel army lost nearly [-] elite soldiers to kill the [-] thieves in the way.

Rong Che's pursuit was blocked all the way, and he couldn't catch up to the Hukou Pass where the rebels were. All he knew was that the battle ahead was urgent, and the 2 troops she carefully deployed might not be able to hold out for too long, but the rebels who stopped them were too cunning to use the mountains and They fight in ambush, and it is difficult to wipe them all out at once.

"Report to the general, all the rebels encountered in front have been wiped out, and they can pass through." The people from the vanguard battalion came back to report after another small battle.

"The whole army must advance immediately and reach Hukou Pass as quickly as possible."

Rong Che led the army to rush to Hukou Pass but it was still a step too late. She rode her horse to the high slope and looked down at the tragic situation below. There was a fierce fluctuation in her usually calm eyes. The bones of tens of thousands of people were piled up like a mountain. The yellow sand was already dark red, and the wind from the frontier blew a thick bloody smell.

The mountain that originally joined Nanliang seemed to have been cut in half. The bones of Dongxia soldiers spread from one side of the mountain to the other, and the dead bodies of Nanliang were piled up in several places. The fighting situation was dire.

The setting sun in the frontier was blood-red, as if a big hole had been gouged out in the sky. Before her eyes, the vast expanse of land stretched into the distance. At the end of the sky, it was also blood-red when it merged with the setting sun. She seemed to see the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers. Floating in this vast territory, heading for the boundless sky.

Above her head is the blue sky of Eastern Xia, and there are eagles circling for a long time to eat human flesh, and she finally understands why King Jingyuan retreated here, it turned out that Nanliang had already ambushed here to respond, Jingyuan Yuan Wang is no longer charged with treason, and from this moment on, he will add an additional crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

She immediately pulled out the long sword in her waist on the hillside and shouted to the soldiers behind her, "Nanliang invaded our country and killed my compatriots." She slowly slashed the sharp blade of the streamer across her palm, and blood gushed out instantly Winding along the silver light, she said, "I, Rong Che, swear by my blood that I will avenge this."

The main general is like this, and the soldiers are even more united with the enemy and shouted, "Kill, kill, kill."

Wei Changdong looked at the wounds on those white palms, which were neat and bloody. Although he felt distressed, he knew that he should not lose his composure at this moment. He said, "Go back to this place and camp five miles away. Dafu, you will take someone to count here and report the exact number of dead and injured." Then he turned around again. He said to Rong Che, "Go back first, even if you take revenge, you have to rearrange."

Rong Che looked straight at him, "Go and arrange camping first, I will stay here."

Wei Changdong hastily persuaded, "The wound."

After sheathing the streamer, she raised her hand to stop Wei Changdong's next words. In her usual indifferent pupils, only the bones scattered on the battlefield were reflected at this moment. She repeated, "I stay here." Wei Changdong clasped his fists knowing that persuasion was useless After taking the order to leave, she moved her gaze up to look farther away. Although Nanliang's calm face did not reveal the slightest emotion, those eyes full of dead souls just now had projected the horn of death.

The number of casualties in this place was not counted until late at night, and Dafu hurried up the high slope to report, "Master, there are 340 corpses of soldiers from the Southern Liang Army, and 710 corpses from the rebel army. The whole frontier defenders," he paused, lowering his head even lower, not daring to look into Rong Che's eyes.

Rong Che looked at her and said indifferently, "Say."

"All the more than [-] defenders of our Eastern Xia Army died in battle and sacrificed their lives for the country."

Rong Che tightened the reins, turned his horse's head and drove away. Out of the 1, only [-] were her elite soldiers, and the remaining [-] were all remnants left behind by the rebels. The persistence of the elite soldiers killed more than [-] enemies. They tried their best to defend not only the land of Dongxia, but also the dignity of Dongxia soldiers.

There was a white eagle lingering on the yellow sand for a long time. It looked at everything below and then flew towards Nanyang City. Rong Che raised his eyes and saw the white eagle spread its wings and go away.Bai Ying flew all the way back to Nanyang City in two days, at this moment Rong Cheng was playing chess with Bai Qingtong, Jing Yu presented the news to her and the chess pieces held by her green fingertips landed on the board with a clang.

After a long time, she raised her eyes to look at Bai Qingtong and asked helplessly, "Should I tell His Majesty the news of the sudden change in the frontier, Ah Che's fall, sooner or later?"

Bai Qingtong looked at her, with a cool voice like a mountain stream flowing slowly, "Since His Majesty will know Ah Cheng sooner or later, why bother."

"I'm afraid that the life of the court will be difficult again."

The most unexpected thing for Rong Cheng was the fall of several prefectures in northern Xinjiang for half a month. King Jingyuan fled to Nanliang and colluded with Nanliang to take advantage of Rong Che's army was not ready enough to attack Xia. The Southern Liang army was well aware of King Jingyuan. The situation in the frontier states, Xia Jun, who had won successive victories in just half a month, was caught off guard.

Rong Cheng woke up much earlier than usual today, the eight-petal lotus lantern in the hall was still lit, Dong Ge served her in a plain princess court dress, Xia Feng said outside the door, "The princess carriage has been prepared outside the mansion. "

Rong Cheng pinned a Bu Yao decorated with Panzhi flowers and pearls, and then she stepped out of the room and stepped onto the chariot waiting under the platform. She told Dong Ge, "Go and tell Miss Bai that I will attend the imperial court today, and I will come back to accompany you later." She eats."

Dong Ge promised, "Yes."

Xia Feng parked the carriage in an inconspicuous corner outside the Second Gate, Rong Cheng opened a corner of the curtain to see that in the dark sky before dawn, the three courtiers were very close to each other, and the three or three were talking in their ears with solemn expressions.Qin Hongwen saw Rong Cheng's carriage with sharp eyes, and walked over when it was dark, to see him outside.

Rong Cheng lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out, Qin Hongwen immediately leaned closer and said in a low voice, "I heard that those old ministers left in the three provinces have made up their minds to impeach Princess Qingping today."

Rong Cheng's eyes dimmed, his expression remained unchanged, and he only said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for reminding you."

"Where is the princess?" Qin Hongwen bowed slightly to salute, so as not to attract attention, he said again, "I don't want to stay for a long time, I will go back first." Seeing Rong Cheng nodding his head in return, he bowed back to the distance again.Rong Cheng's cold eyes glanced at the several ministers standing in groups in the dark, and sat back again, there must be a verbal dispute in the court today.

As the dawn light dawned in the sky, the singing of entering the court rang out from the Chaowen Hall, and the voice spread to the door of Erhui like a tide through the mouths of many people.Hearing this singing, everyone raised their hands to adjust their court clothes, and followed the little father-in-law who held the lamp into the palace gate.

With the support of Xia Feng, Rong Cheng stepped down from the carriage, and another father-in-law held the lamp for her alone. Following her extremely slow pace, he followed behind the crowd. The father-in-law said in a low voice, "It must be that the princess hasn't come to the court these few times. I also know a thing or two about the affairs in the court, those adults in front have repeatedly embarrassed His Majesty in the court, and His Majesty will not know how to restrain his anger next time."

Rong Cheng understood what His Majesty meant, and only said, "I have to thank you, Father-in-law."

"The princess has broken the servant."

All the ministers in the Chaowen Palace were present and stood waiting for the new king to come to the court, only to hear the female officer shouting loudly outside the palace, "Your Majesty is here." Rong Ling wore a gold crown inlaid with jade on her head, a dark red dragon robe with gold trim, and stepped on blue, white and dark red embroidery. She stepped into the hearts of the crowd step by step with steady steps, and when she sat down on the dragon chair above, all the officials knelt down and worshiped.

Qi He, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone loves you." After the trial, Rong Ling looked down at the crowd and revealed majesty in her quiet voice. She shifted her gaze to Rong Cheng and said, "Princess Anle's legs are old and it's inconvenient to stand for a long time. Please sit down."

Rong Cheng bowed to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Rong Cheng sat down, Rong Ling opened his mouth to talk about the occasional dialogue that must be said in the past few days, "Nanjiang is in a hurry, I don't know if you love me, can you have a good plan?"

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, knowing that the rain was coming, Rong Ling glanced coldly over the heads of the people and continued to speak, "I think you all know the military report sent back by Princess Qingping. In the past, King Jingyuan attacked us as a vanguard, and the Xia army was unprepared, and captured several states in a row to invade our country. I thought that we needed to increase our troops in the southern borders to help Princess Qingping defend against the enemy."

Everyone remained silent for a while, and Chen Feng, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have agreed on the quantity of supplies needed in southern Xinjiang, and the paperwork has been delivered to the three provinces for approval, please Your Majesty to decide."

"Why didn't I see the Zhezi with the luggage?" Although Chen Feng replied, his Rongling eyes fell on the heads of several adults in the three provinces.

Since Sansheng Ye, Mei and several old ministers were dismissed or relegated, although Sansheng has been quiet for a while, they still have a lot of complaints about the new king. After all, the three provinces are different. The old people in the three provinces are still relying on the old and selling the old to connect with each other.

Now the Minister of Shangshu is called Li Xieliang, and he came out of the queue and shouted loudly, "The old minister thinks that there is no need to worry about the baggage, the most urgent thing is to send another general to the southern border, first to investigate whether the Qingping princess is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and second to carry the baggage You can go to the southern border with the new master to avoid being coveted by people with evil intentions."

Rong Ling's voice was a bit cold in vain, "What do you mean by asking Qingping? When did I have such a meaning?" Everyone felt a pressure on their heads and lowered their heads even lower, as if the words were the words of the new king. Just whisper it to yourself.

How could the Zhongshu Province let the Shangshu Province fight alone, and he came out alone, "As soon as Princess Qingping went to southern Xinjiang, several states fell. It’s a matter of course.”

"It's a big taboo in the court to have a gap between officials." Before Rong Ling could speak, Rong Cheng preemptively said, "Master Zhongshu, don't judge others by yourself, and mess up the foundation of the court."

Another person came out of the door, and continued, "The old minister knows that Princess Anle and Princess Qingping are deeply in love with each other, but the facts in southern Xinjiang are really suspicious. If Princess Qingping keeps her self-preservation, she should go back to the capital to plead guilty."

"Nowadays there are foreign enemies in southern Xinjiang, but you want the lord to return to the court, do you want to hand over my Great Xia country?" Rong Cheng said angrily, "Since the three provinces are all in order, then the princess will inevitably send several people from the three provinces. My lord, don't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Seeing the stalemate in the court, Chen Feng from the Ministry of War said again, "Several adults in the three provinces don't know something. There are so many variables in frontier warfare. What's more, the troops in southern Xinjiang were emptied by the former King Jingyuan, and Princess Qingping lost for a while. The situation is justifiable, and the lost land will be recovered when the reinforcements rush to the supplies."

"It's easy to say." Li Xieliang yelled at Chen Feng, "In case Princess Qingping pretends to have a match, but in fact she has ulterior motives, and when I'm not in Daxia, what guarantee will Mr. Chen have?"

Chen Feng said bluntly, "Princess Qingping's sincerity can be used as a lesson, Master Li is too radical."

"The former King Jingyuan was shameless and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. How can he know how good his daughter will be?" Hearing this, everyone gasped and did not dare to make a sound. In order to refute that Chen Feng lost his mind and failed to keep his senses, he started to speak out.

All of a sudden, a black object flew from the sky and hit the lord under the door on the forehead, blood flowed immediately, at the same time Princess Anle also stood up and walked to the lord under the door in two steps, raised her leg and kicked him forcefully On his calf, the adult under the door suffered pain in two places and fell down on the gold brick all at once, Rong Cheng's breath was unsteady and he saw a piece of imperial inkstone falling down at his feet.

Rong Cheng has always forbeared not to speak so harshly, especially in the court of Wendian, "The front line is critical, so I don't expect you to go to the battle to kill the enemy, but I hope you will share your worries and avoid troubles, but each of you What is the intention of relying on the old and selling the old to threaten His Majesty?"

Several adults from the three provinces hastily testified to themselves, arguing, "What are you talking about, the princess, and the veterans are also thinking about Da Xia."

"Enough." Rong Ling's voice was slow and majestic, she said, "Aren't you worried about Princess Qingping's loyalty? Then the loyalty of the princess is guaranteed by me. If the princess treacherous, feel free to hold me accountable." Her gaze slowly swept across every face of the officials below, and everyone held their breaths to avoid her gaze. After a long silence, she said again, "From now on, the notes about the princess will be directly placed on my imperial case. It will be reconsidered by the three provinces."

The three provinces were overwhelmed this time, although everyone was dissatisfied, but the general situation was over, the officials knew that the new king would alienate the three provinces even more in the future, and these old ministers might not be able to stay in the Chaowen Palace for long.The female officer recognized Xinjun's face and hurriedly said, "Retire." The officials knelt down and saluted and sent the new monarch out of the Palace of Chaowen.

After retiring from the imperial court, Rong Ling summoned Rong Cheng to go to the bedroom, Rong Cheng stepped into the palace door and apologized first, "Just now, the humble minister of the court lost his manner and asked your majesty to come down."

"I don't blame you, it's those old guys who bullied people too much." Rong Ling looked at Rong Cheng and said, "I asked you to come because you want to ask you, the frontier is in danger and I don't know if Che'er can handle it, it's not that he listened The instigation of the group of old guys is really worried about Che'er's safety."

"Your Majesty." Rong Cheng said with a smile, "We should trust Ah Che, Your Majesty can rest assured."

"I know that Che'er will definitely win, but it's inevitable that I'm worried."

"Your Majesty." Rong Cheng said suddenly, "Ache is far away in the southern border, thousands of miles away from Nanyang City. If her military report is not done, Your Majesty must not make decisions without authorization. Remember that concern will lead to chaos."

"Okay. I promise you."

After Rong Cheng left, Rong Ling sent an order to summon An and Lu and Chen Feng from the Ministry of War to the palace, hoping to hear them analyze the frontier war situation together. The military report sent back by Rong Che was very concise, and a few letters added together were not as good as an ordinary book The notes presented by the officials were strong, and Rong Ling wished she could see the holes in those papers, so as to know what kind of situation Rong Che was facing.

Rong Cheng walked out of the second gate slowly and Xia Feng was waiting outside the door. Seeing her come out, Dong Ge hurriedly stepped forward to help her into the carriage. She said to Xia Feng, "Don't rush back to the mansion, let the envoys farewell Hall."

Xiao Hanqing was a little surprised when the announcement of Princess Anle's arrival at the other hall reached Xiao Hanqing's ears. It has been more than a month since he came to Dongxia. As time dragged on, he felt depressed and irritable, and Min Wenhao urged him to return to the country again and again, so he was in a dilemma.

He thought about it and couldn't figure out why Rong Cheng came here, but he vaguely sensed that she would point out a way for him, so he went to the door and personally led the princess into the study. What advice does Dajia suddenly have?"

Rong Cheng chose a place where the sun was just right and sat down, looking only at him, Xiao Hanqing calmed down and waited silently at the side, the room was silent for a moment, I don't know how long it took to hear Rong Cheng's voice slowly And said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, there is only one way in front of you now."

Xiao Hanqing saluted respectfully, and said, "I would also like to ask Princess Anle to make it clear."

"You can't stay Xia Guo, and you can go back Zhou Guo."

Xiao Hanqing looked into Rong Cheng's bright eyes, guessing what she meant, and asked tentatively, "Did the Princess want me to go to Nanliang?"

Rong Cheng lightly nodded his head, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, that's all for An Le, and you have to decide the rest." After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

Xiao Hanqing was stunned for a moment and turned around to catch up with her and sent her outside the door. On the stone steps outside the door, when he saluted her farewell, he asked again, "Xiao just asks, is the princess just sending her off?"

Rong Cheng said, "No." She walked down the stone steps and stepped on the carriage again. Xia Feng drove the carriage over the flagstones and headed towards the bustling main street. She knew it was a risky move but it was a winner in the end. .
