Devil’s Advent

Lu Mansion;

The carriage from the palace entered the palace directly from the back door.

The reason why you don't go through the front door is because the front door welcomes guests;

My own family enters through the back door, and the horse-drawn carriage is not the same as the servants, so they can enter the back house.

It was two women who went back to their natal family to visit their relatives.

One is the daughter here, and the other is the maid raised by the old lady.

It stands to reason that when the prince and concubine came, etiquette should not be discarded, just like when Empress Tian returned to the Tian family to visit her relatives, the Tian family had to kneel down to welcome her.

But that was visiting relatives by order, this time, it was just an ordinary walk.

Besides, rules have always been prepared for those who need to obey the rules;

Mrs. Fengxin, as Yan Huang's nanny, has a respected status, so she naturally doesn't need to pay attention to these things.

Back at Lu's house, Ling Xiang was very happy. She was born and raised here, and she is very familiar with every plant and tree here.

After getting off the carriage, she personally helped He Sisi get off the carriage.

The inner house of the little six sons was quiet, and after taking him in, he became an aunt, and in the mansion, there were actually only two women in the room.

Before becoming a dowry maid, Mrs. Fengxin once beat her to let her know how to be polite. The most important thing is that before He Sisi gave birth to an heir, she was not allowed to sleep in Sixth Brother's bed.

When she was pregnant, He Sisi did it on purpose. After all, women in this era still think of their husbands first. She is inconvenient, but how can I let the men have no one to wait on at night?

This is not in line with etiquette, if it spreads out, I will also bear the reputation of being jealous.

It doesn't matter to Ji Laoliu, Lingxiang is from Fengxin Furen's residence, so sooner or later she will have to sleep.

On this point, Ji Laoliu is much more open-minded than his good friend Zheng Boye. After all, women are his own. If you eat them, you will eat them. How can you not be like Zheng Boye, who does all the work? Just like pilgrimage, hypocritical.

But Ling Xiang kept refusing, either evading her menstruation, or saying that she felt a little bit cold, in short, she waited until Ji Chuanye was born, and after He Sisi recovered and took care of Ji Lao Liu, Ling Xiang didn't refuse any more, and went to bed. Ji Lao Liu's bed.

The title has not yet come down, Ji Laoliu said that there is no rush, and he will report it when he is pregnant.

Ling Xiang wasn't annoyed by this, in the back house of the mansion, He Sisi was a senior wife, and her aunt was the second in line;

The second is that she is still born as a slave in essence, and everything depends on the mother and the child.

The life in the palace is actually very comfortable, and she is also very satisfied.

A woman is going to marry after all. The current life is already as good as she can think of, and she feels that it can't be better than this.

so,

She doesn't want the good times to slip by.

After helping He Sisi out of the carriage, Ling Xiang couldn't help feeling a surge of courage in her heart as she looked at the Buddhist hall in front of her.

Both men and women live under one roof called home.

Although it is the old men who support the facade, if the facade collapses, the women inside will actually end up worse than the men.

So, no matter what, this façade cannot collapse, absolutely not.

He Sisi stretched out her hand and patted the back of Ling Xiang's hand, she could feel the tightness of Ling Xiang's hand.

Ling Xiang smiled and let go of her hand.

Behind, a nun carried Chuanye out of the carriage.

At the entrance of the Buddhist hall, a young girl was already waiting there. Her name was Lu Yi, and she was Lu Bing's daughter, also the granddaughter of the old lady.

Greetings to Princess Fukang, Princess Fukang.

Hi sister. He Sisi reached out, took out a purse from her cuff, untied it, and carefully took out a gold coin from it.

Caravans traveled to and from the desert, and some gold coins were sent. It is said that they were made in the country west of the desert, and there was a woman wearing a crown printed on it.

The shape is still exquisite, and it can be played as a decoration.

Of course, it is difficult for Orientals to understand that this kind of behavior of the rooster wakes up the morning can be so aboveboard.

Since ancient times, it is not that there have been no queens in various countries. Often when the ruler is in doubt, the queen mother and relatives will become a force that cannot be ignored in the court, but there is really no woman who shows her face and completely rules the world.

Ordinary people don't use gold, but it seems a bit vulgar to give gold as an exchange between dignitaries. However, this gold coin is exquisitely carved, which is a wonderful thing to do.

Thank you, princess, for the reward. Lu Yi took the gold coin and couldn't put it down.

Hmph. Ling Xiang coughed twice.

Only then did Lu Yi realize, and said with a smile, Oh, sister Xiang'er, is she asking Ah Yi to salute you?

Come on, wait.

Ling Xiang laughed.

Lu Yi is always by the old lady's side, and her relationship with Ling Xiang is very good, the two of them can talk freely.

Grandmother is waiting inside. Lu Yi smiled.

Behind the tea table in the side hall of the Buddhist hall, the old lady waited quietly with a coil of Buddhist beads in her hand, and when He Sisi and Ling Xiang walked in, a smile appeared on her face.

She noticed that there was no depression in Lingxiang's brows, obviously, the days in the palace were easy and smooth.

This girl grew up by her side and was trained by her since she was a child. She has a weak appearance but a strong personality in her bones.

The old lady has lived in the Lu Mansion for so many years, and she has never seen any spices in the mansion, so she knows that this Ling Xiang is essentially the embryo of a palace fighter.

But no one is born to like to fight, who doesn't like to have a good life?

One leaf knows autumn,

A man who is unstable in the inner house does not necessarily have no ability;

But for a capable man, the inner house must be safe.

Grandma.

He Sisi called out naturally.

Come, sit, sit next to me.

The old lady stretched out her hand, He Sisi put it on, and sat down next to the old lady.

Greetings to the ancestor, ancestor, Xiang'er misses you.

Ling Xiang knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old lady.

The old lady pointed at Ling Xiang, laughed and cursed:

Going back to my mother's house is returning to my mother's house. What's the point of making it like this? You kowtow and your makeup is all over. Do you just want to covet the little rouge around the old woman?

That's all, Ah Yi.

grandmother.

Go, take this hoof down and pick it up. Didn't His Majesty just give you a batch a while ago? She can choose.

Yes, grandmother.

Ling Xiang was stunned for a moment, she originally wanted to stay here to talk, because she knew exactly what the situation in the Palace was like, but the old lady directly dismissed her.

Not daring to disobey the old lady's wishes, Ling Xiang got up after thanking her, and followed Lu Yi out.

In the side hall, only the old lady and He Sisi were left.

Is Sixth Brother okay now? the old lady asked.

If you go back to grandma, it's good, but it's a bit busy. After finishing the work in the yamen during the day, he went to sleep directly when he got home. He didn't snore before, but now, the snoring makes the child cry .”

Hehe, by the way, did you bring the inheritance?

Brought it.

The mother who was waiting in the Buddhist hall brought the child in.

The old lady looked at the child carefully, nodded with a smile, and said, This child has a strong body.

As she said that, the old lady took off the string of Buddhist beads in her hand and put them on the child's swaddle, I have been praying for these beads for some years, and I hope the Buddha will bless him.

Thank you, grandma. He Sisi didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.

For the outside affairs, the man will take care of it himself. We women, as long as we stabilize the inner house for him, and let the man stop worrying about the family affairs, we have fulfilled our duty.

What Grandma said is true, Sisi wrote it down.

At this time, there was a message from a servant outside:

Old Ancestor, Madam is here.

Mrs. refers to Lu Bing's wife, Mrs. Wang, who is called Mrs. Wang in the Lu family.

She is also He Sisi's registered godmother.

He Sisi returned home to visit her relatives, so she was going to visit her.

I knew she had quick legs, so I called her in.

yes.

not long,

Yo ha ha...

Before the people arrived, the laughter came first.

Today, Mrs. Wang is wearing a green water mandarin duck lining and a matching red skirt. She loses two points of dignity and becomes more tender and pretty.

Seeing this, the old lady scolded immediately:

Look at what you're wearing today!

Oh, it's not that I heard that my daughter came back, she was still taking a nap, and wanted to come to see her after getting up, so she didn't care about so many random clothes.

The girls heard that the concubine brought the prince here, but they were all waiting to see, rummaging through boxes and chests to find a meeting gift for the prince.

No need, no need. He Sisi said hastily.

Hey, that's not acceptable. Since ancient times, all those who pay attention to rules have never had the reason to let a girl go back to her mother's house and give it empty-handed.

The old lady nodded, and said to He Sisi: Take the children and show them, after all, they are a family, and they can't be divided. Normally, they would not dare to come here.

Yes, grandma.

He Sisi picked up Ji Chuanye and left the Buddhist hall under the guidance of the nuns and maids outside.

Mrs. Wang shook her head, sighed, and said:

It's pitiful, I thought I could use this incense to climb up, but who would have imagined it, how can I see its colorful flowers, and how can I see it is deserted.

No matter what His Majesty said, there will be no more troubles in the future.

Yanjing City is Dayan's political center, and any disturbance in the court will set off a storm here.

Your Majesty went to the back garden to recuperate,

The prince officially supervises the country, holds the seal, and gathers advice from all officials.

All the staff and subordinates of the Prince's Mansion are in high positions, and the form is already very clear. His Majesty is already paving the way for the Prince, and the handover of power in the Great Yan Dynasty Hall has also begun.

The old lady smiled and said:

come over.

Mrs. Wang leaned over.

Snapped!

The old lady slapped Mrs. Wang on the face. Mrs. Wang was inexplicably terrified, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

The old lady sighed,

close your eyes

There is no Buddhist beads in my hand but I still seem to be rubbing something,

mouth,

Spit out two words:

Stupid woman.

………

In war, what is fought is actually money and food.

When the army was originally stationed in one place, the consumption of money and food would be much smaller, and the large number of civilians, they could have maintained production.

As soon as the war broke out, the consumption of the army doubled at once, and the rewards and pensions were like flowing water, and the domestic production was reduced or even stagnated because of this, which meant that the balance of the country was forcibly broken by both sides.

It is impossible to reduce expenditure, as long as the commander-in-chief of the Chu Chu army is King Jingnan, not only Yingdu will not dare to reduce expenditure, but the imperial court will not dare to comment in the slightest.

This is the role of a famous general, no, a famous coach.

But whenever he leads the troops in the front, not only will he be more comfortable when facing the frontline enemy forces, but the pressure from the rear will also be reduced a lot.

Therefore, only open source.

Taxes have already been collected in the next few years, and they can no longer be collected. After that, the life of the big guys will not be over.

Before the start of the war, Ji Chengjue had already made many income-increasing plans, and these plans were being implemented step by step.

But the biggest problem is that once the war broke out, it seriously affected business activities. It is very difficult to do smuggling business on the three sides of the Gan country. But nervous.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now Ji Chengjue can only barely maintain the situation. Everything depends on the specific progress of the war.

Originally, the imperial court's perception of the war against Chu was similar to the opening of the Jin Dynasty. Perhaps it was because King Jingnan's previous achievements were so outstanding that Dayan misunderstood the mode of war.

And when the army really needs to gather, the civilians support it, and the front line starts to grind slowly, the pain of the soft knife slashing the flesh begins to really hit.

The logistical cost of defeating Chu is really too high. If one carload of rice is transported from Yanjing City, the peasants will have to eat more than half of it on the way. If weather or other factors affect it, it will be difficult to transport it to the top. It's really a drop in the bucket.

However, there is a town in the south of the Chu people's pass, and the area in the east of Jin, because of the savage rebellion and the Chu people's march a few years ago, has long been turned into a white field, and the army can't replenish on the spot. Chu Junmin is like a million mouths waiting to be fed, and they have to grit their teeth and push them up from behind to eat and drink.

Disaster,

Disaster,

Disaster!

Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan, finish this battle as soon as possible, I really can't hold it anymore.

The transfer of a new batch of grain, grass, and military equipment has been arranged, and next, preparations must be made for the start of the next batch.

Ji Chengjue had already noticed about Hegong's matter, but he didn't speak out or raise any objections to this extremely unreasonable choice.

Although he didn't know what the purpose of this was, he believed that King Jingnan would not be idle and having nothing to do.

The servant of the household came out, just in time to see the frame of the prince's mansion leaving the palace.

Where are you going out of the palace?

I went to the back garden.

Ji Chengjue smiled, Yanhuang was raised in the back garden, and Wei Zhonghe was relieved of the errands of the supervisor of ceremonies, and handed it over to Li Yinglian.

But his second brother dared not really supervise the country.

Even if the emperor said no, no, no,

But no one dared to take it seriously.

Therefore, every day, he had to take all the notebooks and go to the back garden to ask for instructions.

Although the father refused to read the booklet, the prince would still ask the father to ask about the policy of governing the country, respectfully.

After the carriage from the Prince's Mansion left, Ji Chengjue walked out of the palace gate and got into his own carriage.

It was Eunuch Zhang who drove the car.

Inside the carriage, Eunuch Zhang handed an ice towel to Ji Chengjue, and said at the same time:

The fourth prince has been dispatched to the Polu camp outside Beijing as a general.

Originally, there were twelve battalions of the imperial guards in the capital, with eight battalions outside and four battalions inside. They were collectively called the twelve battalions of imperial guards in Beijing.

But after several battles in the past few years, the forbidden army was first transferred to the east, and then a large part of them was transferred to Beifeng County. During the eastern expedition, the First Prince brought another batch to Wangjiang.

After dismantling it,

in the end,

The safety of the capital depends on Li Liangshen's town.

Except for the two battalions guarding the imperial city and the imperial palace in the former twelve battalions of Kyoto, which still maintain their organizational system, the remaining ten battalions are really nothing but ostentation.

Well, if he is smart, after a few days, the crown prince will probably issue an order to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will transfer it to my Ministry of Accounts to transfer food, salaries and military equipment.

The prince leads the army, so he can't be too arrogant.

If in the past, the Deng family was still there, and my fourth brother would lead the first battalion, I would guarantee that everything from the generals at all levels to the trilogy and other aspects would be properly arranged.

But now, my fourth brother has no such ability, so he can only rely on the brother card to claim his fortune.

Although the court is very difficult now,

But to be honest, no matter how difficult it is, there is no shortage of chewing benefits for his camp.

Master, are you planning to help the Fourth Highness?

Help me, he's not Zheng Fan.

When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he smiled.

immediately,

Eunuch Zhang said again:

But Uncle Zheng is fighting now, and even if the battle against Chu is over, it won't be able to quench his thirst.

Banban Zhang.

The slave is here.

It's not that simple.

The master said so.

But the matter is by no means that complicated. How did the emperor solve the chaos of Dayan's century-old clan?

Heh, thousands of cavalry from the Second Army of the North and the South entered the palace directly.

simple no

Why not?

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and continued:

Zhang Banban, this time, for some reason, I don't want to play any tricks. Although we have made a lot of preparations and made a lot of preparations that we don't know whether we will use them, but I still feel that with that method, even if you are in a superior position, you will still feel flustered if you sit under your buttocks.

Alas, hypocritical, hypocritical;

I actually wanted to fight for this position in an upright manner, but I was really led by that surnamed Zheng.

If the person surnamed Zheng was here, he would definitely say: This is in line with the beauty of seizing a prostitute.

Besides, now, before the time, I will be fine before Fachu is over, and no one dares to let me have trouble. If Fachu loses, well, the poker table will have to be turned, and I will be fine.

damn,

If Fa Chu wins, just like what the fourth brother said that day, there is no need to destroy the Chu country, but directly convince the Chu country, and take down Zhennanguan and Shanggu County, this conquest will be considered a victory.

Master, what do you mean, if Chu Chu wins, we will be in danger?

Ji Chengjue nodded, but shook his head again.

Slave is stupid.

After the battle is over, Zheng Fan's side will be free.

Eunuch Zhang held back his face.

Hehehe, do you want to say that the distant water can't quench the near thirst?

Master, wise.

Facing Chu with a victory, this is not the end of the curtain, but the beginning of the real drama. Hundreds of thousands of triumphant troops are there, and their attitude, that is, the attitude of King Jingnan, is the most important thing. Emperor, we cannot ignore their attitude.

But the servant feels that King Jingnan has no attitude.

As long as King Jingnan can show some attitude, the crown prince will not have such a miserable life a while ago, and the princelings around the crown prince feel hopeless.

Besides, King Jingnan doesn't support his own nephew, why should he support you?

But Zheng Fan has an attitude. Ji Chengjue raised his hand and said with a smile: Do you still remember that last time he took the princess to Beijing, making troubles all the way, making high-profile all the way, and fighting under whose banner?

Following the order of King Jingnan, lead the army into Yingdu;

Personally guarded in filial piety, entered the Litian City to worship;

It's not that people with a discerning eye have noticed that he is correcting the order of the king. Even some people who have a clear grasp and understanding of the current situation can almost conclude that King Jingnan will not do that!

but,

After Uncle Hirano went back,

He was not punished, but continued to be reused, which meant that even if he was really correcting the order, he would actually act according to orders!

Tian Wujing,

like a mountain,

stand over there.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a mountain temple.

The mountain said nothing, the mountain did nothing,

But the temple wishes in the mountain god temple can announce the will of the mountain god to the people in all directions.

And Uncle Hirano is the Miao Zhu.

Eunuch Zhang was a little worried and said:

But if His Majesty really wants to push the crown prince to the throne, Uncle Hirano will probably take the overall situation into consideration and consider the situation that Dayan has so hard to come by now, and won't...

Letting hundreds of thousands of troops against Chu against the central government and the imperial court, even if they did nothing but convey and express this intention, is almost equivalent to wanting Dayan to fall into a dangerous situation of disintegration!

Ji Chengjue looked at Eunuch Zhang suspiciously,

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang looked at his master with an even more puzzled expression.

a long time,

Ji Chengjue laughed a little and said:

A long time ago, I knew one thing.

Master, what's the matter?

That is………

Ji Chengjue stretched his waist,

continued:

The overall situation, in Zheng Fan's eyes, is nothing.
