Records of the King of Xin'an County

It was night, and Shengjia moved to Taiyuan Mansion, so emergency military orders were spread to the outside world one after another.One ordered General Ashina Zhenchu ​​to divide up five thousand troops, pretending to be a large army to return to aid, and scared away the rebels of Hejian County King Li Chen who were besieging the palace; To appease the court and the people in the palace, don't let gossip spread; the third is to inform Yong'an County King and Jian Guogong where the rebel army is.

When the sage finally stopped writing, it was already dawn.Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter and noise outside, breaking the heavy solemnity and silence.He looked up, Siyue King Li Wei immediately opened the window, and saw a dozen people covered in blood talking and laughing happily with the Qianniu Guards.If you look closely, who is it not the group of broken warriors from last night?

The sage was overjoyed, walked forward quickly, and carefully looked at them—and the strings of human heads they held in their hands: "Reward! Rewards! Thousands of miles, whether they are injured or killed, they will be given to them according to their military merits." Ji Xun! These Turkic warriors are also included in the Qianniu Guards!!" Brother Yuchi, En Ergu and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to thank them.

Afterwards, this group of warriors who already had life-threatening friendship looked at each other and smiled heartily: "Saint, don't worry, we only have wounded, none of us died at the hands of those rebels!!" Thinking about it now, even they themselves I feel incredible.Killing and retreating 20 people with 500 people, but still able to retreat completely! !It has to be said that Wangsheren's bravery and fearlessness infected them, making them completely forget their fear and the pain of their wounds, as if they were helped by a god.

The sage looked left and right, but he never found Wang Zixian among them, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is Zhiyuan?"

"Back to the saint, Wang Sheren couldn't bear the blood splashed on his body, so he went to take a bath and change his clothes." Yuchi Dalang replied, grinning, "He said, if you are unclean, you can see the saint Disrespect in front of the imperial court——However, we are all rough people, and we came here without caring about changing clothes or taking a bath!!"

"Saint, this is Zhiyuan's harvest!" En Ergu also hurriedly called other people, and moved dozens of heads together, "The chopping is much more neat than ours! Why don't the saints seal him into Qianniuwei?"

"..." The saint was silent for a moment, staring at the pile of heads that seemed to be cleaner, he couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that you think that the Zhongshu Sheren around me are not as good as Qianniuwei?! Haha, really Unexpectedly, my Wang Sheren is indeed omnipotent! I used to worry about it. Although there were job vacancies in the three provinces of the court, but he is so young, he should have experienced more things. Now I have found a good place for him. If you stay by my side for a few years, let him go out of the town!" The governors of important border towns and even the governors of the Dufu Mansions all need important ministers with both civil and military skills, so that he can be completely at ease.

A laughing voice came from not far away: "The minister thanked the saint for his kindness first. I would like to trouble you to be a witness to the meritorious service this time, so that it can be gradually accumulated in the future, and another lord will honor the ancestors." The voice fell. Then, a handsome young official came over, smiling as usual.

-

Just when Li Chen, King of Hejian County, was forced to withdraw his troops and flee north due to pressure from the imperial army, and the palace that had been besieged for two full days and nights was finally safe and sound, a rumor spread quietly in Chang'an City.Because the speech was too rebellious, all the high-ranking officials and nobles dared not speak out, but in secret, everyone was panicked and worried.

Inside the Daming Palace, Empress Du frowned, her eyes turned cold: "Investigate the Daming Palace thoroughly! If anyone is found to be spreading rumors, they should be arrested immediately and punished for treason!!" Her voice had never been so cold, as if Counting nine is as cold as winter, making the listeners feel a slight chill down their spines.Shang Gong and Shang Yi immediately retreated under orders, and the young prison guard who was specially left in the palace by the saint to assist her immediately began to restrain the palace people.The situation is serious, even if the punishment is a bit too severe than usual, they will not disobey the order of Her Highness the Queen.

"Mother." Standing behind the heavy curtains, Princess Yong'an showed a pale face, and asked softly with a face full of panic, "They said, but it's true? Grandpa was really...really caught by a thief. The army was besieged in the palace, and was seriously injured... so far, his life and death are unknown?"

"Of course not." Empress Du called her over, hugged her and said in a warm voice, "The sage is in Taiyuan mansion well. I don't know who spread these rumors with sinister intentions. They just want to let the capital, the imperial court and Daming Palace It's completely messed up. Our mother and daughter must be stable, and we must not let them be satisfied, do you understand?"

"I understand." Princess Yong'an nodded, and buried her little head in her warm embrace, "But, Aunt, why haven't you received a letter from Grandpa for safety these two days?"

"It's just a temporary delay. In a few days, don't you feel pleasantly surprised when you receive two safety letters in a row?"

"Well, what A Niang said is indeed reasonable. Then... A Niang, when will my younger brother be born? Is it possible that after a younger brother is born, both inside and outside the palace will be stable? A Niang doesn't have to recuperate every day, and can be with her sons Let's go out for an outing together... Grandpa won't be frowning anymore?"

"Good boy, wait a little longer. He will be born in seven months." Empress Du smiled lovingly, "Go ahead, your sister is handling palace affairs in the side hall. The huge Daming Palace and Taiji Palace, I don’t know how much I have accumulated in the palace affairs alone, why don’t you help her out, how about it? After a few years, you should be down... All the internal and external affairs of the Princess Mansion must be controlled by you."

"My son will never marry." Princess Yong'an blushed slightly, turned around and ran away holding her skirt.

"Seven years old, it will grow up in a blink of an eye." Empress Du caressed her belly and looked at her back with a smile.However, there was still some haze in her eyes that hadn't dissipated: "Prince Pu, Concubine Pu, King Sipu and King Xin'an County are called into the palace. After an hour, I must see them."

Not long after, Prince Pu, father and son and his concubine Yan came to the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment.

This is a serious matter, Empress Du ordered the palace people to retreat, and Fang solemnly said to them: "The rumors in the capital these two days, I think the second brother and the second sister-in-law should have heard of them too. I don't know when these rumors It was actually introduced into the Daming Palace, obviously it was deliberately done by someone with a heart. I don’t need to mention this person, you should know who it is. I wonder what countermeasures you can have to subdue this person?”

"Spreading rumors at such a time can be punishing." Li Tai said, "As long as the source of the rumors is found out, you can be punished for treason!" Since His Royal Highness the Queen is here, Prince Pu has no time to ask his own son, this " Who is "the one with the heart".Of course, this did not prevent him from expressing his opinion.

"It's too late to find out the source." Li Xin pondered for a moment, "Since such a trick is used, it will be a benevolence if it is not successful. The king of Jiangxia County will definitely start an incident in these two days. Only one thing needs to happen is enough for him to instigate Maybe he will take advantage of the situation." And this incident either happened in the palace or in the clan outside the palace.He needs such a thing to attract other people's attention and benefit himself.

Li Hui nodded lightly: "I have a plan in mind. If my aunt can trust me, can I help my uncle to convince my uncle? He has always disapproved of my son's risky plan, but now it is a last resort. If you don't follow the trend, Maybe there will be some mishaps, but it will affect the battle on the front line, and it will make my uncle worry for no reason."

"When will I not trust you?" Empress Du raised the corners of her lips, "However, it is not easy to persuade uncle. Second brother and second sister-in-law should go with me."

Li Tai and Yan naturally had no objection, as parents who dote on their son, they definitely believed that their son's plan would be successful.They have a thousand words ready for anyone who disagrees with this plan.Even if the other party is Wu Guogong Qin An who has always disliked a certain nephew - even if he doesn't want to see his uncle anymore, His Royal Highness King Pu, who is strong as a father, has no fear! ——With the concubine and His Highness the empress here, even if I still feel a little guilty, I can ignore it for the time being.

At this time, a Shang Palace reported from the outside: "His Royal Highness, there is news from the Chengxiang Palace that Concubine Yuan Shu has moved her fetus and is already popular!! The Shang Medicine Bureau came to report and sent an imperial physician to rush Diagnosis and treatment, but the situation seems to be a little bad, I am afraid that the dragon's heir will not be able to survive..."

Hearing this, everyone in Prince Pu's Mansion immediately looked at Empress Du, but Her Highness's expression did not change at all: "Fengyu goes to the doctor for treatment, and you can do your best. No, Fengyu can go with me. Speaking of which, I also It's been a while since I saw her, and after nearly 20 years of friendship, it's time to go and see her."

"Your Highness, the Chengxiang Palace is inauspicious. I'm afraid it will collide with the phoenix's body." Yan advised, "Just go to the Shang Palace." Concubine Yuan Shu's miscarriage is an ominous sign.Empress Du's body is precious, and it is somewhat taboo to set foot in an inauspicious place.What's more, Chengxiang Hall is probably already in chaos at this time. If someone has evil intentions, or Concubine Yuan Shu is full of hatred and hatred, they may secretly order people to do something.

Empress Du shook her head: "Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law, it's just a trip, I'll be more careful." After she finished speaking, she put on her fur coat and got up, and after walking a few steps, she looked sideways at Li Hui, "Xuan Qi, how much do you think the rumors outside are true?"

Li Hui was startled, and replied decisively: "Nothing."

Empress Du lowered her eyes and smiled, and put out her arms to hold Yan Shi: "Forget it, if the second sister-in-law is worried, you can go with me, how about it?"

Naturally, Yan Shi would not refuse, so she happily went with her.

Prince Pu, father and son also left the Penglai Hall.His Royal Highness Pu continued to take his niece and grandchildren to enjoy the spring flowers in the Daming Palace, and His Royal Highness Si Pu continued to be busy with military rations.His Royal Highness Xin'an County returned to the mansion, carefully took out the blank stamped decree, imitated the woman's hairpin and lower script, and wrote a decree-although uncle Wu Guogong Qin'an and uncle Jing Wang still supported his plan He is skeptical, but he does not care about waiting for his elders to stand up for him.

The situation in Beijing is changing rapidly, and there is no room for hesitation anymore!
