Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

The army returned triumphantly, and the emperor dressed in his crown and led all the civil and military officials, as well as the old people in the city who were more than a few years old, to the Taimiao at the beginning of Mao.

In Jinling's midsummer, the sweltering heat is unbearable, especially the armor of the soldiers. After the reception is over, when they return to the city, they all look like they have just been picked up in the water.

Li Lang was also suffering. In order to show his grandeur, he only wrote twelve chapters of uniforms on major events such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestral temples, ascension to the pole, canonization or Zhengdan. The front and back are twelve corners, and there are thousands of jade and pearls on it, which are also heavy enough.

After the ancestor worship was finally over, the emperor ascended the throne to reward the three armies. General Cao Lin led the officers above the school lieutenant to thank the emperor for his kindness, and handed back the commander's seal, which is considered a great success.At this moment, everyone felt a sense of relief.

As for the ceremony of presenting prisoners to the Taimiao that should have been held after the ceremony of returning teachers, since the emperor never mentioned it, of course he never prepared it and skipped it hastily.

That night, Li Lang held a banquet in the palace freely, and drank with Cao Lin and others. When resisting the bandits, the generals who followed wholeheartedly took their positions.

Li Lang handed over the battle report to several people to read it one by one. Seeing everyone looked at each other in astonishment, their faces were solemn, especially Cao Lin, who had just returned to the imperial court, and Nanyue had undergone changes. His hand simply caused the Eastern Chu court to lose its prestige and face from top to bottom.

According to the battle report, although Tai Tuo died for the country, he also made the army and the people of the Han Dynasty share the same hatred. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, the mourning army won the victory, and finally Panyu, the capital of Nanyue County, was not lost.

But the tyrant princess of Nanyue who started the war absconded with her two children and sneaked into the Diangui Kingdom from the mountains. Count cities.Eastern Chu's troops stationed in South Vietnam were seriously damaged, and they were temporarily unable to restore the land.

Li Lang said with a smile to the generals: "Masters, do you know how powerful Zhao Rang is? He has been running South Vietnam for more than ten years, he has been diligent in martial arts, and he is gentle with the barbarians. "

In the end, he just kept the last word in his heart and didn't make a sound. Li Lang didn't intend to let his subordinates notice his contradictory and depressed emotions when he mentioned Zhao Rang.

Cao Lin hesitated to speak, although he had something to say, but as the chief general who conquered South Vietnam, he was suspected of shirking responsibility and evading orders. Fortunately, his colleagues replied to the emperor's words in time, with some hesitation in his tone: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty I thought that Zhao Rang's surrender was just a cover-up, in order to save his life. There was a riot in South Vietnam, and I really don't believe that there is no such person secretly planning. General Cao just arrived in Jinling, and there was a rebellion there, how could it be such a coincidence?"

The person who spoke had copper bells and big eyes. He was the general who led the Twelve Guards Zuo Wuwei. His surname was Yao. He had no personal relationship with Cao Lin. Cao Lin was secretly grateful to him for speaking out so righteously.

It turns out that in the military system of the Eastern Chu, apart from the forbidden army directly under the emperor, there were twelve other guards. Now only the left and right guards are left in Jinling to help the forbidden army defend the important areas of Gyeonggi. General Luo with a huge nose.

There is also Cao Lin commanding the troops, the cavalry guards who have just returned to the court.Cao Lin was originally the general of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard, but he had made great achievements in defending the country against the enemy a few years ago.

Apart from Cao Lin, there were only Xie Kun who guarded the northern line at Yuguomen, and there were five guards in charge of Yiwei, Yuwei and Youhouwei.

After all, Cao Lin is not Xie Kun, and he has no family background, but he has such a status in his early thirties, so he will inevitably be hated by others. No matter how humble and self-disciplined he is, there will always be negligence. After all, Lin was very annoying, and gradually he became a little worried and timid, and rarely expressed his thoughts when outsiders were present.

This time to subdue Nanyue, according to the common sense, after helping Nanyue to establish a county and set up officials, wipe out the remnants, and appease the hearts of the people, the army will retire.But Zhao Rang and the emperor seemed to sing together, one returned to surrender readily, the other urged to return quickly, and almost did not do any follow-up matters, even the Nanyue tyrant's mansion was never counted, Cao Lin felt that he was just leading a mighty army to go all the way. Nanfeng, besieged the city for several days, and then came back in a hurry.

Cao Lin, the scapegoat of the South Vietnam chaos, really didn't want to blame him. The emperor had previously revealed to him that he would increase the number of troops in South Vietnam. Now that the situation is like this, it is not known how the emperor will break the situation.

Yan Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not open his mouth until Li Lang inquired, and then he put forward his own suggestion: The most realistic way is naturally to increase troops to help, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to transfer troops from Jinling. Solve the urgent need.

Of course no one objected to this idea, Li Lang then ordered General Yao to prepare his armaments and rectify his troops, so that he could go to battle immediately if necessary.

Cao Lin was left behind by the emperor after the discussion. Although Li Lang's face was still ugly, he softened a little towards Cao Lin. He said, "Thanks to Zhao Rang, Xie Kun is going back to Jinling. You take the military amulet and seize the military power there." Come back. It is most suitable for you to be resourceful and decisive, the other two are too utilitarian, and they are afraid of doing something that is 'the king's order is not given'."

The king of a country has to act according to circumstances when he takes back his military power. It seemed that he wanted to excuse himself, but he really couldn't help but remonstrated: "Your Majesty will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations. However, even if the barbarian rebellion is only a disease of scabies, you must try to cure it. Your majesty acted vigorously and resolutely back then. , The act of killing relatives with righteousness is engraved in my heart, Your Majesty's benevolence and justice should deal with the common people in the world, not just Zhao Rang."

Li Lang was silent, and after a while he avoided the seriousness and replied lightly: "I know. Cao Qing, the matter in the northern border is related to the destiny of the country, and there must be no mistakes."

Before Cao Lin could say anything else, seeing Wei Yixiao who was standing next to the emperor winking at him, he knew what he meant, so he said perfunctorily, "I should do my best", and retreated to think about the strategy of regaining military power.

After Cao Lin left, Li Lang turned to Wei Yi with a smile, frowned and said, "What does Shicai's weird look mean? Cao Lin finished persuading him, did you come instead?"

Wei Yixiao sighed softly: "I dare not talk about the military opportunity thousands of miles away. I only know that although not killing and surrendering can show your majesty's benevolence and sage, this Zhao Rang is not an ordinary general. Your Majesty If you can't deal with it properly and arouse the dissatisfaction of the subordinates, and you are always pestering this person endlessly at the time of employing people, your Majesty, don't you want to find a solution once and for all?"

How to do it once and for all?Isn't it just a "kill" tactic?

Li Lang said bitterly, righteousness kills relatives, he was ruthless to his elder brother, he almost killed them all, in the end, although they were born of the same root, they actually regarded each other as enemies, and there was no restraint on the relationship between him and him.

Zhao Rang is different, he can't be ruthless, he can't give up, but Zhao Rang betrayed him, he is an emperor, he is an example for the world, he is bound by personal affection, he must be criticized by others.

Wei Yixiao saw the emperor's complexion changed, so he took a step back and said: "Your Majesty has placed that man in the harem now, why not let the situation flow?"

"Smooth...follow the tide?" Li Lang couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. Seeing that Wei Yixiao didn't mean to be joking at all, he asked a question, and heard Wei Yixiao talking eloquently: "Your Majesty doesn't want to kill that person, but if you don't kill him, there will be no harm to the court and the public." Let me tell you, why don't you take that person into the harem and make him a concubine?"

As soon as this statement came out, even if he was as deviant as Li Lang, he couldn't help being speechless.

The history of the emperor favoring his courtiers is endless. Among the male favorites of the past dynasties, there is no shortage of talents who have made great achievements. An arrogant, extravagant and incompetent king.

But when Li Lang thought about it again, he felt that Wei Yixiao's plan was ingenious.

In ancient times, the virtuous ministers hated the favor of the emperor, mostly because they were accessible inside and outside, and were not restricted by the palace. They could not only build meritorious contacts, cover the sky with one hand, but also blow the wind around the emperor's pillow and make waves. It is not an ordinary woman. Misfortune can be compared.

However, if Zhao Rang is locked in the Forbidden Palace, and the harem cannot interfere with politics, can this worry be avoided in a legitimate way?

Yu Cao Lin and others can think that the emperor is full of guard against Zhao Rang and intends to humiliate him; Xie's family can not only get an explanation, but also think that the emperor is absurd and intoxicating; and Zhao Rang can also use this to save his life .

In this way, this unexpected strange move can kill three birds with one stone.

Li Lang's eyes brightened, he smiled at Wei Yi and said, "Are you trying to persuade me to be a fool?"

Wei Yixiao didn't smile at all, with a serious look on his glutinous rice ball-like face: "It would be great if your Majesty knew himself. I dare you, Your Majesty still needs to figure out whether the South Vietnam incident has anything to do with that person."

Knowing that Wei Yixiao's reminder was reasonable, Li Lang nodded in agreement.

Zhao Rang didn't know that his fate had been decided. After a sleepless night, he felt melancholy, and when the cock crowed three times, he suddenly felt as if he was being sap. What's the use of thinking so hard?If Li Lang imprisoned their brothers and sisters here for the rest of their lives, the only thing he could do would be to teach Changle how to write poems about palace grievances, right?

After laughing at himself while suffering, he finally made up his mind that if he still had a chance to meet the emperor, he would not take the initiative to ask for favors, but he was still able to do whatever the emperor asked for.

Even if it is not for revenge, at least ask the emperor to give Changle a way out. He has already betrayed his wife and sister, so he can no longer hurt his sister.

After careful consideration, Zhao Rang carved the tablet of his wife and sister, and after having breakfast with Changle, he put the tablet on the incense table, rubbed the soil for incense, and worshiped deeply three times.

The shapeless pieces were buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and it is not yet the time for the flowers to bloom. In order to please Zhao Rang, Changle specially embroidered a large square handkerchief with the pattern of sweet-scented osmanthus overnight, and also offered an incense table to mourn the poor girl.

Unexpectedly, it was exactly the same as yesterday. Just after noon, there was another thunder on the ground. This inaccessible Jinghua Palace was flooded with many maids and servants. Everyone looked solemn. After the leader saluted Zhao Rang, he only confessed: " I came here by the emperor's order," and kept silent.

Chang Le tried his best to inquire, but failed to pry out any news.

Zhao Rang didn't want Changle to follow his worries, so he intentionally made this unusual incident light-hearted. However, he really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd. Seeing those people busy, it seemed that they were repairing the tranquility. In the Hua Palace, there are still people coming in and out, changing bedding and clothes, etc., which is even more unknown.

This suspicion was fermented until Shen Shi, and then it was considered to be a reality. Zhao Rang said: The emperor will come to Jinghua Palace tonight.

The author has something to say:

Because it’s fictional, I’m happy to make up history, blah blah blah blah blah… (However, try not to make up physical, chemical, and geography, or biological things can also be made up, such as a dinosaur or something?)

If nothing unexpected happens, in the next chapter, the two of them will soon have good things to do, and they are going to congratulate the groom, and pray that it will be released.
