Offer a tripod

Chapter 101

In the past half a year, Yuan Jing and Chu Yu have been at a standoff more often than they are affectionate. Therefore, after he left for two months, Yuan Jing was busy with government affairs all day long and deliberately made himself not think about him.But with the imperial decree, knowing that his return date is approaching, all the previous reserved and proud things were forgotten.This night with the gurgling autumn rain, he tossed and turned in bed, and finally fell asleep. In his dreams, he was talking softly when the two got back together.

When I woke up in the morning, I was still in a trance. Seeing the moon mulberry flower that Chu Yu gave him was hanging on the edge of the tent, there was a small smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.Today, it seems that the Lord of Heaven intends to be beautiful, and there is no major event in the court.Only the prime minister came to talk about Chu Yu's return this time.Now within the Gyeonggi, all the soldiers and horses in the northern border are assigned by him, and he has a title of title. In terms of high position and weight, he is the father if he is not defeated.The prime minister's intention is to take back his military amulet of commanding the imperial army.

Yuan Jing shook his head and said: "General Tiance has made great contributions to the imperial court. If I rise up and down like this, and put my fear in the open, wouldn't it hurt the heart of the hero, besides..." He hesitated for a while, silently in his heart Dao: When he comes back this time, he will naturally stay with me. The right to command the Imperial Army is given to him, and it is no different from giving it to me.

It's just that you can't say these words outside, Yuan Jing pondered for a while, and then said again: "I have known him since we were young. For so many years, he has never...never disobeyed me. I believe him as I believe in myself. There is absolutely no suspicion at all. Besides, the matter of General Shenwu has not yet been settled, if his military power is cut at this time, there will be no guarantee that there will be no trouble, let's discuss this matter later." Seeing that the prime minister wanted to continue talking, he put the tea bowl in his hand heavily Put it on the table.He has always treated these veterans with great courtesy and never said a word of seriousness. It was the first time that he showed his displeasure on his face like this.

The prime minister frowned slightly, and there was a sense of dispute at first.But Yuan Jing's eyes were firm, and when he looked at him, he refused to give in at all. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and the prime minister sighed softly, and retreated with his hands folded.Yuan Jing looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

After an autumn rain, the weather turned cooler.During dinner, Yuan Jing heard that Mrs. Zhaorong was not feeling well these days, so he ordered someone to prepare her usual favorite food, and brought them over to visit her.The palace staff of the Ninghe Palace changed from top to bottom, and only Mrs. Zhaorong's close maid was left to serve.Mrs. Zhaorong has been in poor health due to the miscarriage medicine she took earlier, and spent most of the day recuperating in bed.Yuan Jing came late, so as not to disturb her, he didn't ask anyone to pass it on. Seeing that she wanted to get out of bed to salute, he hurriedly said, "No need, just lie down."

Only a thin layer of powder was applied on Mrs. Zhaorong's face, and she became paler and weaker. Her belly swelled slightly, as if it had been more than two months as claimed to the outside world. She put the quilt up and said in a low voice: " Why is Your Majesty here?"

Yuan Jing said: "I heard that you can't eat, so come and see you." He ordered someone to put out the contents of the food box, picked out a bowl of warm soup to help sleep, and handed it to her in front of her.Mrs. Zhaorong drank a few mouthfuls reluctantly, her stomach rolled, and she retched a few times covering her mouth.Yuan Jing asked in surprise, "What's the matter? Do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look?"

The maid who was close to her patted her on the back, and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the empress has always been like this, and the servant has persuaded her several times, but she will not listen."

Mrs. Zhaorong patted the back of her hand and signaled with her eyes that she would not talk much.Yuan Jing reckoned that she was still thinking too much, so he thought about the words, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, I said I won't pursue it, you're not kidding." Through the quilt, he lightly touched her stomach: " The message has been passed down, don't allow others to disturb you, you just have to give birth to the child well, I will love him as my own child."

His tone was extremely gentle, and under the illumination of the palace lantern, there was a gentle light in his eyes.The maid who was close to her quietly retreated, leaving them alone in a room.When Yuan Jing turned around, he saw that there was no one around, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.Sitting blankly for a while, looking for something to say: "Do you want to eat?"

Madam Zhao Rong showed a smile on her pale cheeks, she shook her head and said softly: "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood today."

Yuan Jing was a person who couldn't hide his thoughts. Thinking that he would see Chu Yu in a few days, his heart was full of affection. He couldn't detect it himself. He touched his face and said uncomfortably: "Huh? Is that so?"

Mrs. Zhaorong looked at Yuan Jing, her voice was as light as dew: "Is it because General Chu is coming back?" Yuan Jing didn't expect that she would mention Chu Yu, so he was stunned for a while.Mrs. Zhaorong saw his reaction in her eyes, she pursed her lips slightly, and said: "In the past, in the mansion, the concubines often saw His Majesty going in and out with this general. The way you look at him is different from the way you look at others. The same is true for the general. Outsiders say that he is cold and heartless. That is when he has never seen him facing you. At that time, the concubine guessed that you and him... Your Majesty is still young, and you can have as many children as you want. But for so many years, you have never stopped for one person, and now you want to keep this child, it should be for him, right?"

Yuan Jing exchanged a glance with her, lowered his head, and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.Mrs. Zhaorong gave a wry smile: "The ministers and concubines are not good enough to say such things, but your majesty, since ancient times, kings have always been ruthless, probably because they are responsible for the family and the country. The world is impermanent, and people's hearts are changeable. You give your heart to me." In the hands of one person, in case someday..." She looked at Yuan Jing, but didn't dare to continue.

The things that he didn't want to think about before flashed by, Yuan Jing looked at his hand in awe, and said after a while: "Jiangshan and a person, which is more important, I understand it in my heart, but I have handed over this heart, and I will also give it to you." There is no way." He stood up and said in a gentle voice: "I still have some papers to approve, so I won't be with you tonight, you should rest well, if you feel uncomfortable, just send it to the imperial doctor, I have made arrangements there, no Gossip has spread. After this child is born, if you don’t want to stay in the palace, I will help you.”

Mrs. Zhaorong shook her head, her face was rosy, she stroked her belly: "Your Majesty spent the most difficult days with my concubine, and those few nights were enough to comfort my life. I have never done anything for you. What, since His Majesty wants this child, the concubine will give birth to it no matter what." She put down the bed curtain and let her figure disappear into the darkness.

When Yuan Jing left Ninghe Hall, a jackdaw stood on the tip, hissing.The palace has always regarded this bird as an ominous bird, and it was ominous, Cao Ruyi saw it, bent down and picked up a piece of gravel, and said: "Your subordinate, go and knock it down." Yuan Jing never believed in this, Hearing the words, he only said: "Forget it, just drive away."

The sense of melancholy in his heart could not dissipate for a long time. He returned to the palace, curled up on the bed, stared at the golden screen he had given him before, and secretly said: "He said no. You're going to lie to me." After thinking about it, he closed his eyes peacefully.In the dream, the south of the Yangtze River is rainy and sunny, and the stars are falling in the night tower.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the border customs urgently reported that General Tiance had rushed back to Beijing with 2 troops.The prime minister had been on guard against him for a long time, and when he heard the news, he entered the palace at night, the door of the Yanhe Palace was closed, and even Xiaoliu was kicked out: "...the border guards are only allowed to bring three hundred guards of honor when they enter the capital. Two thousand, he brought ten times as many cavalry, and no matter what he wants to do, he will not be able to escape the charge of disobedience!"

That's all, echoes echoed in Yanhe Hall.Since Yuan Jing heard the news, his complexion was not very good, and he forced a smile: "He mentioned to me earlier that the Imperial Army was neglected in training and was useless, and he brought people back this time, probably for the purpose of reorganizing the Imperial Army. "

The prime minister sternly said: "Your Majesty, when the military report entered the capital, the Chu family's army was less than nine hundred miles away from the capital. This is not a time of war. Why is he rushing day and night? Can't your majesty see it? Most likely it is General Shenwu After the news of the incident passed, he led his troops to attack!"

The handwriting on the memorial is hasty, as if something urgent happened, it was written hastily.Yuan Jing only glanced at it, then closed it again, and said in a dull voice: "He won't."

The prime minister couldn't bear it anymore, and his voice was like a thunderclap: "Si Tianjian has already made a report, and the star violated the emperor's seat. I am in a hurry! General Shenwu entered the capital, and the Chu family's army has no leader. After sending Chu Yu out, do you want to protect him at this time?"

Yuan Jing's body trembled, and he said in a daze, "What scripture? I've never seen this scripture before." Seeing that the prime minister's eyes were wide open and his face was ashen, it seemed that he was not just talking about it, so he ordered someone to pass it on to the official on duty of the Sitian Supervisor.After receiving the oral order, Xiao Liu went to Sitianjian.

Yuan Jing sat with his eyes closed for half an hour, and the Prime Minister raised the topic several times, but he ignored it.It wasn't until the sound of footsteps outside the hall door that he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person behind Xiaoliu.

Yun Cong knelt at the foot of the steps, respectfully said: "See Your Majesty."

As soon as Yuan Jing saw him, his eyelids began to twitch wildly. A sense of ominousness surged in his heart, and he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here?" It was actually a slender young boy, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?"

Wearing an official robe, Yun Cong turned to bow to him and said, "Back to the Prime Minister, I am a member of the Sitian Supervisor. Three months ago, the memorial of the celestial phenomenon was written by the minister. When I heard that Your Majesty asked about this matter, I will give it to you." Come with Eunuch Xiaoliu to reply to the decree."

The prime minister saw that he was still young, and he spoke and acted with childishness, especially he didn't believe it: "You wrote the letter?" Yun Cong nodded, and was about to recite the memorial silently.Yuan Jing sat still, watching his thin lips open and close, spit out a series of strange words.These words were not completely unfamiliar, he had heard them once in the Taiyi Building.It has been a long time since that night, but he still remembers the feeling of guilt he felt when he knelt in the austere temple, in front of the ancestor's throne.

At the end of Yun Cong's speech, he kowtowed at Yuan Jing: "On the night when Quli's mission left, I sent a memorial to Shangshutai. When I met General Tiance, he chatted with my minister for a while, and asked me I didn't dare to refuse... After reading it, I didn't say anything, and let me go. I felt uneasy, so I went to Shangshutai to ask again the next day, and the memorial disappeared."

When the prime minister heard the last word, his expression turned ugly, he pointed at him and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Yun Cong was very frightened, and hurriedly said: "The general said that he took the notebook, and he personally gave it to His Majesty."
