Changqing Ci

Chapter 19 Lie Down

In the 40th year of Wenning, the world was peaceful. King Gu Liangqian of the Ming Dynasty stated that his health was declining and he was suffering from serious illnesses. He voluntarily surrendered his military power and returned to his hometown to recuperate.

The emperor refused repeatedly, and sent an imperial physician to diagnose and treat him. They all said that the old disease was too old to recover.The emperor was reluctant to give up, and also took back the military power of the 20 troops in the border town.

The border town is the face of Daqi, and it is also a place bordering the frontier, and further south is Jizhou, a hub, so don't be careless.However, because the frontier is a subsidiary state of Daqi and has been subject to it for many years, there is no need to impose more restrictions.The imperial court transferred back the soldiers and horses, leaving only 5 horses and horses distributed around the border town.

Gu Liang was taken away by the defenders of the city, so there must be no generals for a day.Yuan Qingming's daughter, the defender of the capital, Yuan Yan, volunteered to go to the border town to guard the gate for Daqi.

The sky is blue, and the Lingyun Mountain is full of spring, with lush green grass.

In the peach forest on the mountain, the petals fell with the wind, and the ground was pink, like thin snow covering the ground. The petals on the branches fluttered in the wind, with different shades, like the makeup on the jade face, the shades benefited.

The peach blossom grove is next to the Ziying Pavilion, which was planted by Wei Lingci and Xun Changqing. Because when they first went up the mountain, Xun Changqing thought about the fragrance of peach blossoms and the peaches in early summer, so Wei Lingci opened up an open space outside the pavilion. , I planted more than a dozen peach trees, and I am afraid that these peach trees will bear fruit this summer.

Wearing a black gauze dress, the flower spikes on the long sword in her hand are particularly beautiful. The woman is playing with the flower spikes with her fingertips, and her eyebrows are raised like a spring breeze.

Xun Changqing came walking quickly, dressed in a green robe, his long hair was tied up with a royal blue ribbon, and his face was handsome. In the early years, there was still some flesh on his cheeks, but now he has lost some childishness, and his face is the size of a palm. The forest is full of peach blossoms and snow.

His eyes reflected the black-clothed woman leaning on the peach tree, her eyes were colored by the peach forest, she said with a slight smile, "Sister Ah, why did you go up the mountain?"

Yuan Yu was dressed in black today, and in addition to her heroic spirit, she added a bit of rare murderous aura. With a few taps of her fingertips, she embedded the scabbard in the soil. It was very light, which showed that her skill was extraordinary. Xiang Xun Changqing opened his arms, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Little Changqing, I haven't seen you in four years, and I look more and more like a handsome young man. Didn't your master find out that you are a tomboy?"

When they first met, she revealed her big secret. Xun Changqing stepped forward and covered her mouth. With a glint in his eyes, he said strangely: "Take it easy, there are people here, and if someone overhears, I'm going to be in trouble."

Yuan 谩 was dumbfounded by her, so he had no choice but to tickle her. Xun Changqing hid back, and the two of them fell on the peach petals and fought a few times. , opened his mouth and said bluntly: "The king of Ming turned over his military power to take refuge. Now the army in the border city is scattered, and there are only 5 to [-] people left."

In these years, the second prince and his party suppressed Gu Lianggan for the sake of power, and everyone in the court knew about it, but the emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and his energy was getting weaker and weaker.Gu Liangqian knew that sooner or later he would have to cut down the feudal clan, so he might as well hand over his military power to leave a way out for the Manchu government, lest the new emperor ascend the throne and kill chickens to make an example of monkeys, and the Ming palace should be cut down first.

Because Yuan Xun also married into the frontier, he missed it every day and couldn't leave the imperial capital, so he recommended himself to guard the border city.

These things were known to Xunchang early in the morning through correspondence, and she wrote to her father to make plans early.And according to the time period of the previous life, the emperor died within a year, and the second prince Xun would also ascend the throne as the new emperor at that time.Insufficient foundation, he did not cut down the feudal clan first, but after two years of silence, he carried out the matter of cutting down the feudal clan.

But at that time, Gu Lianggan suddenly died suddenly, and the palace of the Ming Dynasty changed drastically.After that, they arrived at Pingnan Palace.

In this life, in the name of her father, King Pingnan, she warned Gu Liangqian first, thinking that he would make a plan early, but who knew that Gu Liangqian claimed to be sick first, and asked to cut down the feudal clan and find a water town to live in peace. People will be sent to monitor.

Gu Liang Qianming gave up on the third prince Xun Yishu on the surface, but he has a lot of powerful generals under his tent. If these people are handed over to Xun Yishu, the queen and Xun Yishu will not feel at ease.

He advances by retreating, and has no sons under his knees, only one daughter, who has already married and had children, so there is no need to worry about the future.What's more, the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he won't kill him secretly.The new emperor ascended the throne for the sake of the reputation of being a benevolent monarch, so he would not attack him. As time passed, Gu Liangqian was considered to have withdrawn from the court.

As far as the third prince is concerned, he has also done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness.

"Old fox," Xun Changqing's eyes turned cold, and he cursed in a low voice, lying on the ground, looking at the sky above his head, Gu Liangqian did this only for self-protection, and it was considered human nature, but he did this , Put Pingnan Wangfu in the place of public criticism.

Yuan Yu said casually: "The mother clan of the empress dowager of the Guliang clan, the prestige of connections is not as good as before, not as prestigious as that of the Pingnan Palace. What Gu Lianggan did was just to protect the entire Guliang clan. After all, life is more important. The power of the Second Prince Nian has infiltrated every corner of Daqi, and it may be difficult for the Third Prince to contend with him."

She wandered around in the imperial capital, and listened to it everywhere, and when she went back, her father told her to listen to it. She knew the wind direction of the imperial capital very well, so when she was going to work in the border town, she sneaked up the mountain and told Xun Chang to do it early in the morning. Intend.

"There is another piece of news, you can just listen to it, don't tell others," Yuan Yan leaned towards her ear with steadfast eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty only has one year at most, and I'm afraid it will be short if it is too short." In the past few months, the imperial physician has been frequenting His Majesty's bedroom recently, and my father is a close minister, so he can see clearly, if this is the case, it must be the Second Prince ascending the throne."

Gu Liangqian's retreat was the biggest loss of power for the Three Princes' Party. Without military power, how to fight for it, and relying on some powerless civil servants, I'm afraid it won't work.

Right now, Xun Yishu has lost power!

Xun Changqing grabbed a handful of petals in his hand and sprinkled them into the air. Looking at the rain-like peach blossoms, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he smiled wryly: "The new emperor dare not touch his father within two years of his enthronement. Then he will use the Pingnan Palace to operate."

After finishing the business, Yuan Yu sat up, with bright eyes, pushed Xun Changqing, and said with a smile, "How did you know that Anexuan is a woman?"

When this matter was mentioned, Yuan Yu couldn't help being overjoyed. The frontier prince Anaxuan is the king's favorite prince. Who would have known that the real body would be a daughter's family. Xuan is a man to the outside world, if his identity is exposed, not to mention the loss of the prince's title, he is afraid that countless people will be implicated.

It is because of such a good handle that Xun Yisu can survive in the turbulent frontier, and Anaxuan will not do anything to her.She is smart and knows how to protect herself.

Ruo Xun was also a man, and his talents and virtues were even higher than those of his two elder brothers. Unfortunately, due to his untimely birth, his daughter's family became a tool for diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"I don't know, Master told me. I have tried countless times over the years, but she never told me how to know."

Different from Yuan Yu's excitement, Xun Changqing is very calm, and there is a strange color deep in the bottom of her eyes. Over the years, her perception of Wei Lingci's thoughts is bottomless. In addition to teaching herself martial arts every day, she also The study was busy until midnight.

She felt that Wei Lingci seemed to want to be the head of the sect, but she was not like that in her previous life. The position of the master had already been predetermined by Wang Pingjun, could Wei Lingci win it?

In fact, she was more concerned about why Wei Lingci wanted to fight for this position?

Once she took the position of head, she and she really stood in opposition, and she didn't know what to do.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Yuan Yu quietly went up the mountain and then slipped down from the back of the mountain. These formations had no effect on her at all. Arranging troops is something military strategists are good at. I think Yuan's martial arts attainments are at the same age as military strategists. Everyone is the best.

No one bothered, Xun Changqing lay back again, the sky was low, and the white clouds floating in the mountains seemed to be wrapped in a layer of white neon clothes. She is so delicate, and her eyes are as quiet as water. Compared with four years ago, her beauty is even more admirable and spotless.

For four years, the second uncle who lived next door would come to propose marriage every year, with all kinds of tricks. Unfortunately, Wei Ling's words had never been glanced at. On the contrary, it was Wang Pingjun, who had complicated affairs in the Lingyun Sect, and it was difficult to escape. When he occasionally came, Wei Ling Most of the words are missing, and I often miss them, whether it is intentional or unintentional.

Xun Changqing's eyes wandered, and he said with a clever smile: "Master, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing here, which is extremely rare, why don't you lie down too?"

The author has something to say: Master, lie down and try?
