Emperor Que Shaohua

"Why is the prince here?" Concubine Han stopped her needle and thread, brushed her hair on her temples before turning her head, her expression was not as surprised as he thought, but indifferent, "Didn't I just say last time that the prince is busy with state affairs, Don't you have to come often to this place for women in the palace?"

"Mother and concubine's phoenix body is against harmony, so how can I not worry about it. Therefore, I have invited my father to come to see you today." Luo Wenxiao forced a smile, and quickly glanced at the strange maids standing there, "The crown princess also said, I want to ask for an edict to come into the palace to serve you."

Everyone knows that Concubine Han Guifei is not sick at all except depression, but now she can only talk about this topic.

"No need, I don't lack anything in the palace. The imperial doctor came to ask for pulse the next day. Concubine Rong took great care of me. She was afraid that the old people in the past would not be able to take good care of her. She has already replaced a few palace servants who are necessary for me to take care of my daily life. Concubine Han said slowly, without any emotion in her tone, "Concubine Mother thought, I have been busy enough these years, Your Majesty's grace is great, let me rest for a while, I am really grateful, so a few days ago I simply put The phoenix seal was also given to Concubine Rong's younger sister, and now she has nothing to worry about."

She then softened her voice and said: "The ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest sent by the prince, I have already received it, and there are all in the tonic palace, so there is no need to send it in the future. The princess should not move around, so I can preside over the gift, and do it for me. It is the greatest filial piety to spread the branches and leaves of the family."

Luo Wenxiao was shocked when he heard that, the phoenix seal was the seal of the empress, after Jiang Biyao passed away, it was passed into the hands of Concubine Han, and she used it as a basis for managing the harem for many years. The identity plus the phoenix seal represents the No.1 status of the harem.Now, Concubine Han Gui handed it over without hesitation.He immediately realized that it is indeed necessary to show weakness now, instead of holding on to a seal, it is better to retreat and advance in exchange for the emperor's sympathy.It's just that it's a bit desolate to fall into such a situation, he lowered his head and said: "Thank you for my mother's concubine's advice, my son and minister will definitely be more diligent in state affairs and perform their duties with peace of mind, and mother and concubine should also cultivate well."

Concubine Han Gui said softly: "That's good, the prince is here, let's sit down and have a cup of tea."

Zhijin hurriedly said: "Your Highness, come here, and the servants will serve you tea immediately."

The mother and son then sat at the table where they usually talked.What was different from usual was that the maids and servants at the side did not retreat, but still stood there.

Luo Wenxiao gritted her teeth inwardly, and she couldn't directly scold and back off, so she said coldly, "Even though you are new here, you need to know how to behave. Seeing that my mother and I are sitting and talking to each other, I still haven't put down the bead curtain."

A court lady came over and lowered the beaded curtain, and the eyes of others were cut off from the soft beaded light.

"There's no need to get angry with a few servants over trivial matters. Few people come now, and they haven't learned it." Han Guifei smiled lightly.As she got closer, the prince realized that she was not only haggard, but also had fine lines at the corners of her eyes and brows, which even the high-grade palace powder could not cover up.For the first time in many years, he felt that the concubine mother was indeed in her 40s, and she could not show her meticulous maintenance on weekdays. When she encountered setbacks, the accumulated vicissitudes of life would be revealed.

The refreshments were served, but Concubine Han's expression was very calm. She ignored the Prince's flustered mood, and just slowly asked some commonplace questions: What is Mrs. Cheng doing? The emperor's grandson has been able to read and write recently, and his voice is rare and kind.Every time Luo Wenxiao came to see her, he always talked about important things and listened to such cold and warm words less, he was not used to it, and he was preoccupied, so he just answered indiscriminately.At this time, she dipped her finger in the tea and slowly drew two words on the table: "Steady" and "Wait".

Luo Wenxiao understood.Just as Zhuang Shijing implicitly reminded, what the emperor really cared about in this case of Huangjue's murder was not to frame Luo Pingyuan, nor would he be angry at him for dealing with Luo Yanhua. Common; what really offended the emperor was his secret collusion with the Kunlun Mansion, privately rearing dead men and cultivating power.Emperor Tianyi had been supported by Langhuan, and he especially tabooed the prince to do the same thing.It is precisely because of this that the emperor took a series of thunderous measures, eradicating the Kunlun Mansion and placing Concubine Han under house arrest, but when it comes to punishing the prince, it is another matter.Unless the prince of a country conspires against or collaborates with the enemy, there are few important things, and the ownership of the East Palace is even more related to Guo Zuo, so it cannot be shaken lightly.The northern border is not peaceful, judging from the current situation, the emperor mainly cuts off his wings and strictly admonishes him, so he won't want to move the crown prince anytime soon.Therefore, at the moment, the only thing that can and must be done is to be steady, and there must be no more mistakes.

As for the other word "wait", Luo Wenxiao knew it better.The information transmitted to Beiliao through the Kunlun Mansion has been progressing smoothly. With the changes in the situation in Luocheng, he pinned more and more hopes on the battle report. He believed that Luo Linpian could not win, it was just a matter of how far he lost.The Northern Territory was defeated, King Yun was convicted, and the Kunlun Mansion united with Pinwutang and Jintiesi, King Jing and King Ning would be in trouble, all I had to do was wait, be cautious and cautious, as long as I grasped it properly, this round would be a good one. It will definitely come back completely.

He was still talking about daily chores, erased the two words with the sleeve of his robe, and looked at Concubine Han tacitly.

Concubine Han dipped in the tea again and wrote a line of words. When the crown prince read it, he said, "Given time, the antidote will be destroyed."He didn't realize it, and the concubine mother would say so, could it be that he has found out the clue?Once Bihai Chengxin's antidote was destroyed, Luo Yanhua's life would be in an instant, and he was overjoyed.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Han sighed lightly, then stretched out her fingers and wrote slowly: "Just wait, think about it in the long run, this is the last thing my concubine can do for you."After he saw it clearly, he wiped away the water stains on the table, got up and said: "It's getting late, the prince has fulfilled his wishes, I am very pleased, you can go out of the palace now."

Luo Wenxiao came out of Yunxiu Palace, feeling a little complicated.Concubine Han Guifei's last words made him feel chilly, but at the same time he was full of expectation.It seems that at this point, the concubine mother is going to do it alone, keeping herself out of the matter completely.He didn't want to stop them. Of course there were risks, but with their status and situation, what was really safe?It was enough not to be involved, he just couldn't help but wonder how much time it would take.

The concubine mother has done a lot for herself, paving the way to become a prince.But for many years, Luo Wenxiao felt that she was not so much grateful and close to her as she was in awe.Perhaps it is because Concubine Han Guifei is so persistent and has a clear purpose to seize power and overwhelm the queen of the year.Nine years after Jiang Biyao's death, she still did not stop the fight alone, so that Luo Wenxiao once had this idea: It is true that inheriting the great line is what the heart desires, but with the attitude of Concubine Han Gui, it is not so much With full support, it's more like using himself as a tool to seize power and use it to win over the queen's son.

Family affection is still used, as long as it does not reach the level of control, Luo Wenxiao doesn't care, the strong support from the harem is the most important.And looking back at himself, he even felt that he understood Concubine Han's mentality very well.From childhood to adulthood, when did I start to admire Luo Yanhua, from envy to imitation, and then to hatred and hatred?He wanted to take everything that Luo Yanhua had as his own, to replace and surpass it.He never apologized, the existence of that imperial brother was hurt, tearing open a bottomless abyss in his heart, driving him to grab it every moment, so as to fill it up.After being crowned prince, Luo Wenxiao once thought that he was satisfied, but King Jing returned to the court, and after several careful plans failed one after another, he seemed to see the dark vengeance in his heart again. If Yanhua is buried in it, the one who will be swallowed up by endless desires and unwillingness will only be yourself.

He shook his head, shaking off the entangled thoughts, he didn't want to see what was at the bottom of the grievance, or in other words, in order to become the perfect prince in everyone's eyes, to be modest, rigorous, and meticulous, he chose to ignore, hide and even suppress It doesn't matter how much Concubine Han sees herself, what they want is to win, the supreme position.

He stepped out of the palace gate, and when he got on his horse, he thought that it would be the fifteenth day of September again, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.Until the palace got it, he might just ignore the implications of this date.Even if he doesn't make a move, how many times can Luo Yanhua survive the full moon?

When the prince returned to the East Palace as usual under the protection of 32 guards around him, in the northern border thousands of miles away, the war had just subsided, and Yu Muli retreated to the Liao border with the remnants of his troops and fled towards Zhaolin.The wilderness under Guiyan Peak was full of dead and wounded, dead or weakly groaning Liao soldiers and horses, as well as countless bows, arrows, knives and guns.The main force of Yu and Zhou's army has returned to Shao'an City with gold, and [-] soldiers stayed behind to escort the prisoners, count the casualties, and clean up the battlefield. Imperial Capital Los Angeles.

On September [-]th, Shao'an's victory report arrived in Luocheng for the first time, and the emperor was very happy, needless to say.

On September [-]th, four hundred tributes from the Wuchen Division gathered outside the palace gate, crossed the imperial bridge, entered Chonghua Palace City, and took part in the imperial examination in Zichen Hall.The emperor came in person, Lu Niannan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Yancun, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, presided over it, and seven civil servants were appointed to read the papers on behalf of the emperor.

Previously, Li Furen, the chief examiner of the general examination, confessed his negligence in reviewing the papers the day before the release of the results. He asked the emperor to impeach him, and impeached Wang Jichang, the deputy chief examiner, and several examiners for unfairly selecting official positions during the grades. With a few words, the matter was punished lightly, but Wang Jichang and others were ordered to deal with it severely, dismissed and questioned.

With the lessons learned from the past, everyone is extremely cautious when facing the palace examination answer sheets, lest they be accused of being unfair, most of them follow the rankings of the general examination.The top ten answer sheets are sent to the emperor according to the usual practice, and the emperor personally decides.

According to the rumors of later generations, there were minor twists and turns when Chen Yuanfu, the future famous minister, was handpicked for the selection of the emperor.At that time, Emperor Tianyi was pondering, picked up a volume, and asked Fu Jianchen, a bachelor's student beside him: "It's wonderful to judge character from articles, but what I worry about is that there is a danger of the bright moon shining in the ditch? "

The people on the side were all puzzled, only Fu Jianchen understood that the emperor had heard that Chen Yuanfu came from the academy opened by Langhuan in the early years, so he asked this question, and immediately answered calmly: "My humble opinion, the way of Confucianism, but there is What can be achieved is only known to the king, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth."

The emperor nodded happily when he heard this.Three days later, the Jinbang was passed on to Jiucheng, and Chen Yuanfu, the No. 1 candidate in Wuchen Division, Shaoxing Prefecture, was awarded the first prize; Zhao Fanxi, who was No. 2 in the examination, was hand-picked by the imperial pen.

Although the good news of the northern border and the palace examination came one after another, Jing Wang's mansion is still as quiet as before.In Luo Pingyuan's heart, Wang Ning should have been overjoyed. Because of Qin Su's flying pigeon, he learned that the battle report was still before the messenger arrived.But when he reached the fifteenth, his mood was inevitably clouded: King Jing was ill again.

Perhaps because Xi Minghua has been taking care of him for the past month, or perhaps because he learned of the victory of the battle, the illness this time seems to be milder than the previous few times, and it seems not so uncomfortable, but Luo Pingyuan still feels the pain in his heart Suppressed heavy worries.

He has returned to the household department and is busy again, but he deliberately stayed in the mansion on the fifteenth day, just because he was worried that King Jing would fall ill again.To his surprise, Brother Huang ignored his health and wanted to enter the palace at this time, but fell ill on the way back.

What urgent business has to be done in the middle of the month?Moreover, the people in the mansion did not dissuade them, they were obviously worried.King Ning was only puzzled, but his faith in the emperor had been planted in his heart since he was a child, so he couldn't stop him too much. Maybe it was related to the northern border. The first good news came out, so there must be many things to deal with aftermath, right?

Prince Ning was on official business, so he couldn't stay in the mansion to take care of him all day. Fortunately, after two or three days, Luo Yanhua no longer had a fever.He was a little relieved, but he still tried to return home early for several days.

In the evening of that day, the setting sun reflected the bright clouds in the sky. When King Ning came back from the household department, he saw someone getting off a carriage in front of the mansion. He was dressed in dark blue and had a handsome appearance. It was Zhao Mian.

"How come Tanhualang has time to visit today? I heard about the grand occasion of boasting officials in the Imperial Street the day before yesterday. Didn't the people who came to propose marriage break through the threshold now, or come to hide in the mansion?" Luo Pingyuan laughed. , He was not there, but he had already heard that the streets of Luocheng were full of water, and there were crowds of people crowded to pay their respects to the true face of Wenquxing.Although the No. 30 Scholar is still young, his appearance is not handsome enough, and the second place in the list is already in his [-]s. Only Zhao Fanxi described him as outstanding. He came out from the gate of Chonghua Palace and got on his horse. Tan Hualang was almost thrown by the flowers and silk handkerchiefs thrown from both sides of the street. The fruit is buried.

"It's not like that, Your Highness Fifth, don't make fun of me," Zhao Mian blushed at what he said, and cupped his hands, "Yesterday I had to go to visit my master according to the rules, and He Ling and the others wanted to meet the two of them afterward. Your Highness, fearing that it would be rude to come to the door rashly, I thought about handing over the greeting card today, and coming together tomorrow. I have some private matters and want to see His Highness Prince Jing, so I volunteered to ask for the job of delivering the card."

"There is really no need to be too polite. The Ministry of Rites has arranged a lot of itineraries. You don't have to worry about it. You can talk about it after you are busy with this part." Luo Pingyuan said.

While talking, the two had already entered the gate of the mansion, Yang Yue came out to take the worship box in person, Zhao Mian confessed to King Ning, and followed his followers to Lancangju.

Luo Pingyuan watched their figures, and walked slowly back to Hanxiaozhai.Zhao Mian said that there was a private matter, and looking at Yang Yue's expression, it seemed that he had known in advance that he was coming, and it was not as casual as just sending a greeting card.

A few courtyard walls away, Zhao Fanxi had already been led to the study of Lancangju, and gave a deep salute to Luo Yanhua who got up to greet him: "My lord."

"Fanxi, I never regarded you as a subordinate before, and I don't need to address you like this in the future." Jing Wang said with a smile, "Ten years of cold windows, and a title on the gold list, you have the same ambition to become an official as Heling and the others, and you are dedicated Serving the court is what it is.”

The students cultivated by Langhuan are not from Langhuan. To them, they are just academies that support their studies and teachers who teach them.But for Zhao Fanxi, all this undoubtedly has more significance.

"The subordinate's ambition has not changed so far." Zhao Mian still said, "When the family is strict, there will be no power in the future. Regardless of whether the subordinate is an official or what he is doing at the time, he will return to Yueyang's hometown and take over the academy. After persisting for so many years, the Lord always needs his own people to take care of the academy."

"The first imperial examination is the right way. You are the farmer in the morning and the emperor's hall in the evening. Now you are a student of the emperor, the golden palace, the hairpin flower parade, the Qionglin imperial banquet, and many things, do you still not care? If you choose this one to be an official No one will say that you are wrong." King Jing smiled and said, "Although I have become the suzerain of Jianghu, I am still a highness now, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Before I took the exam, I was just thinking about it. I have been working for more than ten years. If I can't try my best, I will always be unwilling. This is because the students can't find out." Gradually becoming charming eyes, Asakusa can have no horseshoes, official career, ups and downs, but this is the case. Although the subordinates have not experienced it personally, but seeing the family fortune, they have empathized with it, so this heart remains unchanged. Academy, it can be more stable. I hope the Lord will teach me."

He spoke a few words calmly, but it was even more touching.

"That's fine," King Jing said slowly after hearing the words, "I know what you mean. Zhao Shibo asked Ruohan to send a letter a few days ago, which means the same thing. If you practice hard for a few years, if you still don't change your mind, I will let you go." Don't worry, I will gradually entrust Limo to you."

When Bai Ruohan was mentioned, Zhao Mian's gaze fluctuated a little, and he hastily lowered his eyes to cover up.

On the screen wall in Mingyue Tower, there is a poem "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night". He once pointed at it and said with a smile, "I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water." There is a lone moon wheel in the bright sky. The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, where there is no moon in the spring river."

The only person who can make Bai Ruohan fall in love with her and wait silently in the prime of her youth is the suzerain Jiang Hua, and it cannot be herself.He suppressed the momentary bitterness in his heart, bowed and said: "Please rest assured, the Lord. On the side of Huxiang, there are outstanding people and wonderful cultures. Over the years, the family has raised funds and managed them for several years. A tower was built on the side of the academy, and often invited famous Confucians The elder came to give lectures, recruiting talented people from all over the world to write this paper, and received the effect of a hundred schools of thought. The master already knew about this matter, but there was another request. A letter from the family said the day before yesterday that it could not be named after Limo, and the original name was Shuiyunting. It seems that it is not heavy enough, so let me ask the Lord to grant another name, make a plaque and hang it on the pavilion, so that guests from all over the world can look at it together."

"Although the artistic conception of Shuiyunting is good, it is indeed a bit more leisurely and light." Jing Wang pondered for a while and said, "Let's call it Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

He did not inscribe the name of the three-character pavilion at Zhao Mianzhi's request, but said: "It's not because I am self-effacing. Since ancient times, the Tao has been conveyed, and the country is long. A plaque inscribed by celebrities is more suitable."

Zhao Mian only agreed, he silently recited the three words Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and for a moment he still thought of the song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River". He was overwhelmed with emotion, and chanted softly: "The slanting moon sinks and hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi Xiaoxiang has an infinite road. I don't know how many people will return by the moon, but the moon falls and the trees are full of love."

According to historical records, in September of the 21st year of Tianyi, the Yuzhou Shaoan Army and the Northern Liao Army fought at the foot of Guiyan Peak.The leader of the two armies will be Luo Linpian, the prince of Yu Zhou, who will lead an army of [-]. General Yu Muli of the Northern Liao Dynasty ordered [-] Liao and Jin cavalry.The battle lasted for five days, and blood flowed across the field, which was extremely tragic.At the end of the battle, more than [-] Yu and Zhou troops were lost, and more than [-] were killed or injured in Beiliao. The rest of the fleeing army scattered in all directions, with [-] soldiers killed, and only [-] of the remaining troops fled back.Yelu Shiji, the fourth prince of the Northern Liao Dynasty, died in battle.

Yu Zhou did not have such a great victory in the past 20 years. People at that time analyzed the reasons for the victory in detail. In terms of combat power, the Shao'an army did not have the upper hand. However, they fought well, with sufficient food and grass, and the soldiers recharged their energy and stored up their energy, thinking that they would win. This is the first; with the help of the master of the Xuanji Pavilion, the king of Yun marched and set up an array, making surprises in the middle and making use of his strengths to avoid weaknesses, which was beyond the reach of the Northern Liao Dynasty. What's more, the valley lures the enemy to go deep, boulders fall, and the Liao army's morale is scattered and uncontrollable. The Shao'an army got this opportunity and won the battle in one battle. This is the third.

Later, another article was added, which was widely recognized and widely circulated: Is man's calculations as good as heaven's calculations?As long as His Royal Highness King Yun is there, Yuzhou will surely have peace in all areas and the country will be eternal.

At the end of September in the 21st year of Tianyi, the Shao'an Army counted the battlefield, found out the enemy's situation, and then submitted a battle report detailing the results of the battle.When the documents arrived in Luocheng, the emperor was pleased again, and worshiped the ancestors in the Hanzhang Hall, ordering amnesty for the world.

At the beginning of October, the Liao people sent envoys to the city of Shao'an to deliver a letter seeking peace.

In the same month, the Son of Heaven issued a decree to reward the three armies, and the generals of Shao'an soldiers were rewarded according to their military achievements; the fourth prince, Luo Linpian, had made great contributions to the country, and he was given the king's title and double salary; In a few days, the teachers of the department will return to the court, and enjoy the joy of reunion in Qingping.

The end of the second volume of "Crane Crying Chonghua"

Author's Note: The second volume is finally over. After 37 words, King Yun will finally return to Beijing and make an appearance. Thinking of the scene where the five princes gathered in Los Angeles, it is really a matter of anticipation and headache.

Thank you guys who have been with me all the time, I am very happy every time I see recommendation tickets and replies.

Take a break tomorrow and continue.

The name of the third volume is called the sky from the clouds ~
