Records of the King of Xin'an County

Early the next morning, the front of Suzaku's gate was almost full of bustling students.

Every young face is full of hope, and they all stretch their necks waiting for the announcement.When several scribes posted the Zhu Mingbang of the Mingjing Provincial Examination, everyone immediately rushed forward.After a while, there were almost everywhere those who laughed and cried loudly, those who beat their chests and stamped their feet, and those who knelt and kowtowed.In addition, there were quite a few people who were watching the excitement or catching sons-in-law under the list, and they were especially quick to catch those handsome young men.

Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi.Juvenile Jinshi is good, but the unmarried juvenile Jinshi that emerges every year is almost rare, let alone the first-ranked juvenile Jinshi two years in advance.If you really want to catch a son-in-law under the list, you still have to look at the young men who understand economics.So, for a while, those who were chattering, blushing and struggling to escape, yelled how beautiful their little lady was, making the scene more and more lively.

He Cheng was almost squeezed out in the crowd, covered his head quickly, and finally found his name on the list, and couldn't help laughing.Taking advantage of the lack of attention of the servants who caught the son-in-law under the list, he quickly left as soon as he got short, and came to a bullock cart parked far away on the side of the road.

There were a few silver bell-like laughs from the bullock cart: "Looking at my brother-in-law's radiant face, it's obvious that I've been hit. Congratulations, sister and husband!!"

Hearing this, He Cheng couldn't help but feel his cheeks warm up, and then he heard another smiling voice from the car: "This is indeed a happy event worth celebrating. After my brother's triumphant return, I won't be unable to explain to him. However, recently The atmosphere in the capital is tense and it is not suitable for big celebrations. Why don't we hold a small banquet in Yiyuan tonight as a thank you for Mr. Song's teachings? How about we hold a big banquet when Brother comes back."

"Okay." He Cheng responded, paused, and couldn't help but ask again, "Do you want to go to Dongshi for a while? I got a new job recently, and I just have to go to Pingkangfang, and I will see you off by the way." It's over." Li Hui entrusted Sun Rong with a lot of things that Sun Rong was responsible for, but recently it was the time when there was a storm in the dark, so he couldn't be ignored.Even if today is a good day for him in high school, he can't afford to leave his errands to drink and celebrate like everyone else.

"Sister, let's go and look at the fabrics? Not only do we need to make more bright spring shirts, but we should also make some new spring shirts for the elder brother before he comes back. Two days ago, Sister Du specially showed me the clothes of the county. The color of the spring clothes that the king wants to make - make them some similar clothes, the eldest brother should be very happy. There are also accessory sachets, I also learned the same fragrance pieces from the ladies of the palace..."

"You should be more careful. At this age, A-tao is at a time when he is wearing clothes, and he should be dressed a little like him. When the three of them stand together, they will look like masters and apprentices. By the way, and What about Mr. Song. Wouldn’t it be more interesting for the three generations of master, apprentice, and grandson? Just thinking about it, I can’t help but laugh."

He Cheng, who was riding slowly beside the ox cart, couldn't help thinking melancholy: Why don't we have more sex with him?He is also Mr. Song's apprentice, and also the eldest brother's apprentice.

When approaching Pingkangfang, the two sisters of the Wang family happened to meet Princess Yong'an, the head of Shouyang County, and Lord Yang Shenyang Atao who had come out to play quietly.Worried about the safety of your lord and the county lord, Wang Luoniang simply invited them to play in Dongshi together.The two young ladies agreed with twinkling eyes, and Yang Shen, who had tried to persuade them but failed completely, couldn't help but quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what age young ladies are, they can't help but beam with joy when they visit clothing stores and gold and silver jewelry stores.But in a short while, the carriage was almost full of the clothes they fancy.Even Princess Yong'an, who was accustomed to wearing tribute clothes, couldn't resist the temptation, so she chose quite a few for her grandparents.Not to mention the lively Shouyang County Lord, who has almost prepared all the clothes and materials for the whole family, even the younger siblings in Aniang's womb.

Although the materials used in gold and silver jewelry shops are a bit lacking in fineness and fineness, the vividness of flower, bird, fish and insect jewelry is not comparable to that of the palace, but it is better in variety.The four young ladies asked the shopkeeper to take out the most expensive jewelry in the store and carefully selected them.

At this time, several female family members walked slowly from outside the shop.The leader had a look of arrogance on his face, and said something like "poor" to the others in a low voice.Although her expression was inconsistent with her words, the rest of the female family members seemed to be convinced by her, and they nodded repeatedly, as if they had no doubts about everything she said.

Sensitive Yang Shen vaguely heard them mentioning words like "Concubine Shu", and couldn't help but look up at them.And when the proud female relative saw Princess Yong'an and Shouyang county master, her complexion completely changed immediately, and she called out affectionately with a smile: "Unexpectedly, it is such a coincidence that I can meet your lord and county master here. Woolen cloth."

Princess Yong'an had no impression of this person, she raised her eyebrows lightly, she seemed to have the demeanor of Princess Changning, but lacked the astonishing momentum of her elder sister.The Lord of Shouyang County asked without hesitation: "I don't know which family's wives are they?" They are still young, and they only remember senior officials above the third rank and the family members of Xungui's family.As for the others, it doesn't make any sense to remember or not to remember at the moment.

The female relative seemed to be stopped by the question, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The concubine is the family member of the Wang family of Jiangxia County."

"Not the princess of Jiangxia County?" The Lord of Shouyang County frowned.Even if they are high-ranking princes and children, they don't need to talk to them.Even if the princess of Jiangxia County saw their aunt and nephew, she would have to come over to talk affectionately, let alone an unknown concubine?

Princess Yong'an never paid attention to the wish of this female family member, and walked away with the Wang family sisters who looked at each other.Unexpectedly, the woman followed up unyieldingly, without concealing her inexplicable eagerness: "I often come to this shop, and his gold and silver workmanship is really good. If your lord is interested, you might as well let them take out How many to try? Of course, it’s just fun to wear.”

Yang Shen was about to step forward to stop him, when he suddenly felt a piece of paper in his hand, and couldn't help but look sideways at the maidservant of Jiangxia County's palace who walked by quickly.He silently grasped the note, thought for a moment, strode over without hesitation, and said loudly: "My lord, the county lord, when I came out just now, the princess of the county told me to go back to the mansion earlier. It's getting late now. , I will send the two of you back to the palace of the prince. The prince is still waiting to send your lord back to the palace!"

Princess Yong'an and the Lord of Shouyang County wanted to get rid of this boy immediately, so they turned and left after hearing his words.The Wang family sisters also hurriedly followed.The boy couldn't keep up with them, so he couldn't help but look at this young man with an extremely strange face, and frowned.

Not long after, this came to Li Hui's ears.Yang Shen handed the note to him, and seriously stated what happened just now: "I don't know why, she seems to want to get close to your lord so much that she even posted it in spite of your lord's disgust, which is really annoying. People find it strange."

"She is the niece of Concubine Yuan Shu's family, Yuan Sixteenth Niang. Now in Chang'an City, she is quite sought after by those women who are looking for children and beauty." Li Hui said, "She must have a conspiracy when she approaches Wanniang. Be careful with Shouniang Don't let her get close to Wanniang easily. There are fears of changes in the capital these days, you also have to pay attention to safety and try to avoid walking outside as much as possible."

"My child understands." Yang Shen looked at him eagerly as he unfolded the note, "Sir, there are also people from us in the Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion?"

After reading the note, Li Hui put it on the candle with a smile and burned it to ashes: "Of course. Today, there are our people everywhere in Chang'an City. Even in the palace - both my aunt and Yue Niang It's ours, isn't it?" Cheng Qing was indeed in the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County.He was watched very closely before, but Sun Jinniang and A Yuan separated from him, and they never found a chance to get close to their "own people".Fortunately, the Prince of Jiangxia had a little more trust in Cheng Qing because "a major event is imminent", so he allowed him to live with his "family".So, they finally found the opportunity to spread the news.

Although Duke Jiangxia didn't fully trust Cheng Qing, he didn't tell him many plans.But after Cheng Qing's deduction and observation of his daily movements, he finally got more clues.You only need to trace the whereabouts of King Jiangxia to find out who he has conspired with recently, and then you can determine who his accomplices are.Moreover, especially those military officers who secretly communicated with the Jiangxia County King by giving gifts-it can be said that he "captured" Chang'an and "suppressed" the high-ranking officials and nobles.

After sending Princess Yong'an back to Daming Palace, Li Hui quietly went to find King Jing and Duke Qin An of the State of Wu, and with their help, consulted the list of military officials and related files.When King Jiangxia came to Beijing, the saint sent away the military officers who had followed his father one after another.For safety reasons, they were neither allowed to go to the frontier, nor were they allowed to stay near the capital.But after these two years, many people quietly came to the position that King Jiangxia "hoped" for them to get.

In addition, there are many military officers who are secretly used by the lineage of the Prince of Jiangxia. They are hidden even deeper, and their locations may be unexpected.All military officers who are suspected of "associating with treason" must be watched closely, and they must not be allowed to cause trouble.Moreover, it is very likely that the sixteen guards will need to fight on both fronts and backs. The person who leads the sixteen guards must be able to guarantee absolute loyalty and rich experience in response.

Perhaps no one knows that before the sixteen guards officially left the capital, more messengers with secret orders quietly left Chang'an to pass official documents from the imperial court to Zhechong Prefectures in nearby states.

Although it is true that many Zhechong mansions were conscripted to the battlefield early due to the counter-insurgency war, but at the same time, some mansion soldiers were left behind to take on other tasks.Adding up all these things together, there should be 3 to [-] people.These prefectures are not far from Chang'an, and within a few days, they should be able to quickly gather and rush to the capital.

In view of the recent spread of rumors, but the official documents and letters from Taiyuan Mansion have not been transmitted for a long time, Li Hui specially ordered Buqu to follow the messengers in the northeast direction to protect their safety and pay attention to the situation of the post road.If there is any abnormality, report back to Beijing immediately.

Day after day passed, and the two sides were planning and planning step by step.The seemingly calm city of Chang'an seems to be brewing with a storm.

Finally, the day came for the sixteen guards of the capital to leave Chang'an.

Wu Guogong Qin'an, King Jing, King Pu and other royal relatives and high-ranking officials personally sent them out of Beijing, and asked them to rush to Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible to escort them to stabilize the court and the harem.The soldiers of the sixteen guards finally recovered from their shock, thinking that they also had the opportunity to go to the battlefield to gain military exploits, the crowd was extremely excited.And the leader of this army was Chi Qing, Duke of E, who had been invited out with great difficulty.Because of the high prestige of the old Duke, even the sixteen guards each had a general commanding them, and they all had to listen to him.

The old man in Taoist robes brought his wine gourd and pill bottle, and got on his horse with a blushing face.Before leaving, he glanced back, his eyes paused for a moment on Li Hui, Prince of Xin'an County, and waved: "Let's go!!" After saying this, he poured a few pills and drank them with wine. Haha laughing Yu Ma left.

Li Hui turned around, just as the Prince of Jiangxia was standing behind him.

The two looked at each other, both showing smiles like a spring breeze.
