Little Lady of the Red Chamber

"Young Concubine!" A group of people went back to the house. In front of the sandalwood dressing table, Daiyu was sitting upright, with Zijuan Xueyan pulling her hair and putting on makeup.Zijuan held Qingsi, her hands kept moving, but her face inevitably showed worry, "Should I send someone to take a look?"

Daiyu fiddled with the hairpin on the dressing table, chose a hairpin with pearl tassels and handed it to Zijuan, "No need, Xueyan will go and tidy up everything first." Since Brother Rui has a foreword, it must be an important matter.

There is no time in the mountains, but in the end we cannot get rid of this dunya.When Tu Yuanrui came back, Daiyu had already changed the clothes she was going out with, her hair was up in a bun, and she was as beautiful as smoke.

"Sorry, Yu'er!" I have to go back early, so I can't accompany you much.

Daiyu smiled, "I had a great time today, and it will be the same when we come back next time."

Reaching out to caress the tender cheeks, Tu Yuanrui smiled, "Okay!"

A group of people hurried into the carriage, and Dai Yufang asked what happened.Although I had already guessed in my heart, I still couldn't believe it when I heard it.

The southeast was unstable, so Tu Yuanrui asked Mu Xin to return to the southeast to stabilize the situation, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late.King Dongping returned to Beijing, and the Zhennan Army was temporarily taken over by King Nan'an. King Nan'an was ambitious and wanted to take this opportunity to swallow the Zhennan Army, so he continued to move.It was precisely because Tu Yuanrui knew this that Mu Xin returned to the south earlier.

But before Mu Xin arrived, Qianxiang Kingdom took advantage of Nan'an's greedy heart to set a trap, defeated Zhennan Army in one fell swoop, and even captured Nan'an King Huo Zhe.If it wasn't for Mu Xin who knew the news in advance, hurried back, and finally turned the tide and stabilized Qianxiang's situation, I'm afraid it would have been worse.Fortunately, Mu Xin took over the military power and expelled Qianxiang's army from Daqing, and the two sides confronted each other.

Qianxiang Elementary School is ambitious and wants to take advantage of Daqing's power changes to get rid of Daqing's checks and balances. Unfortunately, Mu Xin is not a vegetarian. After several consecutive battles, she loses her advantages and sticks to the barracks.But what's the point of talking, they still have many powerful children who were captured along with Nan'an.Although Mu Xin despises these people, he also understands that the families of these rich and powerful children are not small. If they really don't care, they may offend others.Those who went to Beijing together with the battle in the southeast naturally had questions about how to deal with this matter.

"Talking about soldiers on paper has always been harmful to people. The king of Nan'an has no ability to do such a thing. It's a pity for the soldiers of the Zhennan Army." Daiyu sighed.

A coldness flashed in Tu Yuanrui's eyes, "Of course the soldiers of Daqing can't die in vain, this matter will not be easily dismissed." It is impossible for Nan'an Palace to retire completely.

Because it was related to the imperial court, Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, and when she returned to the capital, Tu Yuanrui sent Daiyu back to the palace first, but she herself did not enter the palace but turned around and entered the palace.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Tu Yuanrui put together Dong'an's battle report and Mu Xin's notebook, and none of the cabinet members dared to speak out. Naturally, Qian Xiang's move was treasonous and could not be tolerated.It's just that although it is a small country, since it is seeking peace now, the DPRK and China have to think deeply for the overall situation.It is not impossible to insist on fighting again, but Qianxiang still has a lot of powerful children in her hands, and these people are now moving up and down, hoping that the court will not be able to rescue their children smoothly.It's not easy for the cabinet ministers to really fight against these people, so they mostly keep silent on this matter.

How could Tu Yuanrui not know the thoughts of the people in the cabinet, he glanced at everyone coldly, and he said slowly, "Let's talk about it! How to deal with this matter?"

The regent opened his mouth, but he was disrespectful when he closed his mouth again. Liu Mengran glanced at his colleagues without a trace and got up and said: "Xianxiang is such a small country, so bold, if you don't deal with it strictly, the surrounding small countries may follow suit. I think it is possible to negotiate a peace." , but not now."

Someone opened the door, and the rest of the people stopped shutting up. The Household Department is in charge of money and food, and the Household Department Minister naturally had to speak, "Although this is said, if we increase troops to the southeast, the Household Department really has no money left." This is a lie. The emperor was very happy in the later period of his reign, and Xungui borrowed money, and the household department was in a serious deficit.Although the late emperor took back a lot, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Immediately afterwards, several other ministers spoke out. Generally speaking, they were divided into two factions, some supported Liu Mengran, and some agreed with the Minister of the Household Department.

Everyone in the court knows that Liu Mengran is King Ming's confidant, Liu Mengran's words may not be the King Ming's intention, but what should be said must be said, especially the Hubu Shangshu.

Tu Yuanrui didn't make a decision immediately after hearing the words of all the ministers. After everyone retreated, he said to the emperor who had been sitting quietly and listening: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Hearing the sound, the little emperor sat up straight, knowing that this was an assessment, he organized his words before saying: "What the Ministry of Finance said is the truth, but what Master Liu said may not be unreasonable, and there are King Nan'an and others, if you ignore it, The dignitaries are afraid that they will be chilled." Nan'an King's defeat will naturally be punished, but if they sit back and watch them being killed by Qianxiang, not to mention Daqing's face, even the family members of these people will have to separate from the court.

"Then what does Your Majesty think should be done?" Tu Yuanrui asked again.

The little emperor frowned, "Naturally, the household department must have money." The household department has no money, but other things are difficult to deal with. The little emperor would sneak a look at Tu Yuanrui and said cautiously: "Since these honorable people want to Rescue the children and let them pay for it."

Tu Yuanrui looked at the little emperor in surprise, "Is this what His Majesty thought?" The little emperor couldn't figure out whether Tu Yuanrui was happy or not, and the little emperor was a little cautious, "I just thought about it, but Uncle Wang thinks it's inappropriate." ?”

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you be so stingy!" Tu Yuanrui raised his voice slightly, but the little emperor lowered his head when he heard the words and was about to explain. Good people, it is useless to keep such a person who is cheating and greedy."

"What does Uncle Wang mean?"

"It's good that Your Majesty has the heart to suppress the powerful, but a ruler must remember not to focus too much on small things." Tu Yuanrui said meaningfully.

Everyone thought that Nan An's move would make him furious, but in fact they were wrong. Nan An handed him the knife, how could he be angry, but for this reason, he would consider saving his life.

The little prince was thoughtful, at first he only felt angry, but when the news came back, many people entered the palace early this morning to pay their respects, but they said they were only begging for mercy.But the little emperor hated it so much, how could he let it go so easily.What he said just now was actually an angry statement, but after listening to Uncle Wang's words, he realized that he was wrong.

Tu Yuanrui taught the little emperor in the palace, and Daiyu also encountered something.As soon as she returned to the mansion, the old concubine and princess of the Nan'an palace came to pay a visit, saying that it was a visit, and of course it was to plead for mercy.

Daiyu might not be able to meet with only people from Nan'an Palace, but it has to be said that Princess Nan'an is really an old trick, since she has invited Jia Mu who has never shown up much.

Although the relationship has been estranged a lot, and because of some incidents in the past, Daiyu seldom sees Jiamu again, but after all, since she is a biological grandmother, since she has come, it is naturally impossible to refuse the door.Concubine Chen sent someone to welcome him into the small flower hall, then turned to Daiyu and said, "Do you want to see Yu'er?"

If it is according to her intention that people will be kicked out, and guests will come to the door when no host comes back, there is no time to take a breath, so there is no wink.

Daiyu knew that Concubine Chen felt sorry for her, hugged Concubine Chen's arm and said with a smile: "If concubine mother doesn't want to see her, then Yu'er will send them away, there is no need to be angry about this."

"I'm not angry, it's just that I'm used to being annoying. That family is the most clinging. This time, I committed such a big thing. I don't know what to do. Your grandmother has been fine all these years, and you still think she has figured it out." , how did it get involved here again." Princess Chen's words were blunt, but she felt sorry for Daiyu, Nan'an Palace is fine, the old lady of the Jia family also came here to embarrass Yu'er, wouldn't she?

"Mother and concubine, don't be angry, Yu'er will understand after going to have a look." Daiyu was not annoyed, and it was up to her to agree or not, and if it was really embarrassing, she would not accept it. But Yu felt that there was a reason for it, and after comforting Princess Chen, Daiyu went to the flower hall to meet the guests.

In the side hall, Concubine Nan'an sat at the head, talking to Jia Mu from time to time, but her eyes could not hide the anxiety.Concubine Nan'an still has a face, but Princess Nan'an is no match for her mother-in-law, her eyes look outside from time to time, and there are marks on her face.

Concubine Nan'an doesn't look like it, there are still maids in this room!He coughed lightly, and was about to remind his daughter-in-law, but suddenly a figure appeared at the door.She didn't care about anything else, and got up quickly.

Daiyu entered with a smile, Grand Concubine Nan'an was overjoyed seeing her alone, no matter what, a little girl is easier to talk to than Concubine Yong'an.

"My concubine is not feeling well and cannot see guests, please don't blame the old concubine!" Daiyu apologized.

"Don't dare, we were the ones who were abrupt, and please don't blame Princess Ming." Princess Nan'an said with a smile.

After a few words of politeness, Daiyu naturally invited people to sit down, looked at her grandmother who was much older, and sighed in her heart, but with a smile on her face, "How is my grandmother? I have been very busy these days, so I didn't go to visit my grandmother." .”

"Okay, grandma is fine." Mother Jia said hurriedly, with a little wetness in the corners of her eyes, which made Daiyu unbearable.

"Concubine Ming is filial, the old lady is very lucky." Concubine Nan'an took the words and praised, she brought Jia's mother here to get closer, but now it seems that her action was not in vain.

Daiyu just smiled lightly when she heard the words, and asked about the purpose of Nan'an Palace, what else could Nan'an Palace mobilize people for, but she didn't know how much Daiyu knew, so she didn't dare to say other words, she just said: "Nan'an Palace He has been loyal for generations, the prince is also for the court this time, he didn't want that Qianxiang to be cunning, but he fell into the scheme. I don't know how much the prince will suffer." Nan'an Princess cried and wiped her tears.

Concubine Nan'an said: "Zhe'er's intentions, the court naturally knows, and she is not afraid of being laughed at in such a shape." She lightly reprimanded her daughter-in-law a few words, and said to Daiyu: "I also know that this is difficult, but it is really a kinship It's hard to give up, if it really doesn't work, the Nan'an Palace would not dare to say this, but since Qian Xiang wants to talk about it, I just ask His Highness Prince Ming to be accommodating, let these children come back at least!"

Daiyu said softly: "I understand the meaning of the concubine, but it's not that I don't want to help. This is a matter of the court, so there is no room for us women to speak up. Naturally, there is a cabinet. If it is true, what is the matter? Compared with King Nan'an, he will definitely come back. Yes, Dowager and Wangfei don't worry."

Princess Nan'an wanted to say more, but was pulled away by the concubine without a trace. The concubine wiped the corner of her eyes and smiled reluctantly: "I hope it is as Princess Ming said, but there is one more thing. I heard that Qianxiang proposed a marriage."

"Really? I've never heard of it." Daiyu interrupted Concubine Nan'an's words. One was that she had never heard of it, and the other was that her own son had lost the battle and wanted to talk back to an innocent girl. Pai Daiyu really doesn't like this.

Concubine Nan'an is a seasoned person after all, seeing that she couldn't get any answer from Daiyu, she could only wait for the time being, lest it would be counterproductive.

Daiyu sent off the concubine Nan'an, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then turned around to ask Mother Jia why she came with her today. The concubine Nan'an said a lot just now, and Mother Jia didn't even open her mouth to agree. Her hand said: "Yu'er, can King Nan'an come back?"

"This is a matter of the imperial court, and I don't know. This matter has nothing to do with the Jia family. It's better for grandma to ignore it." Daiyu persuaded.

When Jia Mu heard the words, she stopped and sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late!" Then she told Daiyu with a wry smile. It turned out that a few days ago, Nan'an Concubine Tan Chun was accepted as a righteous daughter, and this happened in the southeast. the day before.

Daiyu's expression was slightly cold, what is Nan'an Palace going to do?She comforted Mother Jia a few words, but Daiyu didn't respond to a single word about other matters.

With doubts in her heart, she simply told the mother and concubine about the matter and guessed together.Concubine Chen is older and only said after hearing the words: "There is nothing incomprehensible, I am afraid that the Nan'an Palace has got the news before, and the girl from the Jia family is probably their prepared marriage choice."

"Third younger sisters get married?" Daiyu was surprised, "The marriage is just what Concubine Nan'an said, and may not do it all. How dare they do this?" Is it certain that the court will agree?

Chen Wangfei smiled and said: "After the founding of the dynasty, the four kings and eight princes came together because of various relationships. In these years, they have been in touch with each other. Except for some reasons, the Mu family is far away, and the other families are very close. Being close, these people are quite a force when twisted together. But be careful!"

If it hadn't been for his big heart, Xiao thought that things that didn't belong to him wouldn't have ended up in such a state, and Daiyu would understand after thinking about it carefully.

Tu Yuanrui couldn't hide the fact that Nan'an Palace had visited, but he didn't say anything after he learned about it.Sure enough, there were ministers at the court meeting to discuss the matter of making peace. The operation of the Nan'an Palace and the nobles were not in vain, and many people agreed with the matter of making peace.

Some ministers even suggested that they could follow the example of Beiman, get married, and form a good relationship between the two countries. It's just that Qianxiang doesn't need Beiman, and naturally she doesn't need a princess, and she doesn't need a princess in name. demeanor.

Tu Yuanrui looked at these people indifferently, eager to settle the matter, but he remained calm.He won the fight and got married, he was not a fool, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface he didn't care about it.Although many people spoke out, in the end it was nothing more than a re-discussion. Everyone couldn't figure out what Tu Yuanrui was thinking, so they didn't dare to speak out again.

It seemed that no one cared about the southeast affairs, except for Nan'an Palace's activities everywhere, the cabinet was silent, but Tu Yuanrui started to thoroughly investigate the debts of the Ministry of Accounts.

Such an unhurried pace makes Nan'an Palace's hanging heart unable to settle down. Some people want to talk about the war. I don't want to think that the several battle reports after the southeast are all victories. Naturally, it can't be done in the name of state affairs, but Nan'an The palace is really in a hurry.

Qian Xiangguo has already said that if Daqing really wants to be so merciless, they will first kill the prisoners to sacrifice the flag and then fight to the death with the Zhennan Army.
