Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

After leaving the capital for a few months, I saw life and death day and night in the plague-ravaged area, and my heart was frequently anxious and sad, wrapped in a thick and flexible shell, which is called vicissitudes in the world.

Everyone rode their horses and trotted towards the majestic Kangsheng Gate. Rong Youtang looked up and faintly expressed joy.

"Your Majesty ordered us to go to the Kangsheng Gate. This is an honor that can only come from a triumphant expedition!" Song Shen was quite surprised. He was wearing a straight body frost-colored robe, a scarf on his head, and cloud-toed boots. He was handsome and unrestrained, In good spirits.

"Suppressing the plague is actually no different from a war. It is equally dangerous. Tens of thousands of soldiers in Beiying and Yuanshui risked their lives to rescue the victims. It is normal for them to enter Beijing and go through the Kangsheng Gate." Rong Youtang's voice was clear, and after another ride, Gao He ordered in a loud voice: "Everyone, get off your horses, and come with me to meet the adults who have been ordered to welcome you.

"Yes!"

As a result, the civilian and military generals who were well-known in the ranks got off their horses one after another. They tried their best to suppress their victorious excitement and walked steadily towards the gate of the city.

Rong Youtang raised his modest smiling face, approached and cupped his hands, and said apologetically, "The Imperial Disaster Relief Envoy Rong Youtang was ordered to live up to his fate, and has now eliminated the plague in the disaster area. He has returned to Beijing to report on his duties! It is such a hot weather, but you are working hard, my lords, Rong is really terrified."

"Hey, where is it, this is His Majesty's will, and the weather is not hot."

"You have worked hard, you have truly shared the concerns of the court, and you deserve to be commended."

"Is the journey going well?"

……

Those who came out of the city were officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households. After meeting, they exchanged pleasantries.Since the crown prince ascended the throne, all kinds of unbearable rumors and rumors disappeared without a trace, and no one mentioned a word.

"Brother Rong, you have worked hard all the way!" Zhan Tongguang, the left servant of the household department, was full of spring breeze, and happily informed: "The reception banquet has been prepared, and the lotus wind pavilion in the imperial palace and imperial garden in Youshi! Master Shangshu has an order to let you go home first to report safety and wash your hands." Clean up the dust, take a rest, and talk again when we go to the banquet in the evening."

Rong Youtang gratefully said: "Since that's the case, it's better to obey Rong than to be respectful. It's really inconvenient to visit the elder. It's hot here, why don't you go to the city?"

"Please."

"Please!"

The whole group chatted enthusiastically, and they were very harmonious, because all the officials knew that Rong Youtang was not only young, promising and talented, but also has always been a confidant of the present, and it is natural for people to try their best to avoid making enemies with him.

After submitting the official report, Rong Youtang hurried home, although he was sleepy, he was in good spirits—since he learned that Emperor Hongqing had made his imperial brother-in-law, he, who was slipping into the invisible abyss day by day, stopped his decline in an instant, and he jumped lightly, As if flying to the clouds, the melancholy and depression are gone, full of moving joy.

"My lord is back home!"

"Quick! Go and tell the master."

"Greetings from the little one to the adults."

……

The whole Rong family was overjoyed, and the servants rushed to tell each other, rushed to salute and greet, and served tea with clothes.

Rong Kaiji and Rong Zhengqing's uncle and nephew greeted each other quickly, smiling happily.

"Boy, pay your respects to the second elder!" Rong Youtang hurried forward and kowtowed respectfully.He took the initiative to ask Ying Ying to rescue the plague, and the elders were extremely worried, worrying day and night, looking forward to the wanderer's return home in fear.

"Get up, it's good to be safe, get up." Rong Kaiji's eyes were flushed.

"Oh, this child has lost a lot of weight." Rong Zhengqing felt sorry for him.

Rong Ting's eyes lit up, and he said with admiration, "Brother, you are amazing! You can heal any disasters and disasters."

Rong Youtang laughed and shook his head, and said seriously: "It is by no means my own power to put down the plague. Tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of doctors are the key. The former calms down the situation, and the latter rejuvenates."

Rong Yu blushed, smiled embarrassedly, and showed his respect for his elder brother beyond words.

"Xu'er, let your brother wash up first, and we'll talk after lunch later." Rong Zhengqing urged.

"Hey, okay."

"Youtang, go back to the room, the bathing utensils are ready." Rong's father was blushing, and his feet were busy.

Rong Youtang nodded readily: "Okay, see you later."

Not long after, the four of them had a lively conversation after they sat at the table, most of them talked about household matters, and mixed with subtle discussions about the court situation.

Since he was going to a palace banquet in the evening, he only drank a round of wine during the banquet.During this period, Father Rong carefully chose his words and told him carefully: "That night, the rebels rebelled and forced the palace. The horse's hooves stomped on it, Master Zhou mourned so much that he couldn't move when he woke up from a faint, and he couldn't speak."

Rong Youtang was stunned suddenly, his thoughts were empty, and after a while, he said softly: "I see."

"Everyone has their own fate, don't think too much about it."

"Too many crimes, not worthy of sympathy." Rong Zhengqing sullenly.

Rong Youtang took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a loud and childish cry from outside the door, so he changed the subject and looked at his younger brother: "Is it your nephew?"

"That's right! That brat, I insisted on following when I went out, and now I'm crying again." Rong Xing hurriedly got up and walked to the door, took the one and a half year old son from the nanny, feigned anger and reprimanded: "Don't cry! You Come to be a guest by yourself, but lose your composure like this, are you ashamed? Why don’t you show respect to the elders soon?”

The baby who used to cry a lot when he was awake was lying in his father's arms, white and fat, and quickly stopped crying.

"Forget it, how can a child understand the truth?" Rong Kaiji was cheerful, with a look of doting on his face.

Rong Youtang praised: "The child is getting stronger and stronger! Look at those eyes, they are so agile, they turn around, they are smart."

Rong Yu immediately couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and repeatedly said "the dog is naughty".

Acting according to the prior discussion, Rong Kaiji glanced at it from the corner of his eye, Rong Zhengqing understood, and cleared his throat loudly: "Ahem."

Rong Youtang turned his head following the sound.

"My daughter-in-law is happy again. It's been six months in my belly, and my pulse shows that it's probably a male." Rong Zhengqing had a pleasant expression, as if chatting casually.

However, Rong Youtang is already very experienced!

"Really?" Rong Youtang's heart skipped a beat, he had some guesses, and said happily, "Congratulations brother Yu! Alas, I was not in the capital when the eldest nephew was born, so I am very sorry, I hope to catch up with the second nephew full moon wine."

"I hope so, it's a deal!" Rong Yu's eyes were sincere, and then he was cast a sidelong glance by his uncle, and he left as planned: "Oh, this kid is very noisy, I'll coax him back to the room to play, excuse me for a moment .”

"Go."

Soon, there were only three people facing each other.

Rong Youtang sat upright, consciously ready to listen attentively.

really!

"Tang'er, you are the smartest one. Let's stop beating around the bush." ​​Rong Zhengqing cut to the chase.

Rong Youtang was full of patience: "You two elders speak slowly, I'm listening."

"Ah." Father Rong sighed, and said earnestly: "You are not young, and you are always so single. I have always been worried, but I have no choice but to persuade you. I really feel ashamed of your mother's spirit in heaven."

"Father, don't think so." Rong Youtang pulled himself together and sincerely comforted him: "I know that I am wrong, but I do have difficulties. I hope the elders will forgive me, and don't feel sad because of me as an unfilial son."

"Don't be nervous, this time I'm not persuading you to start a family." Father Rong waved his hands hurriedly, and consulted expectantly, "I've discussed it with your uncle, and I've got Xing'er's consent. If his wife gives birth to a son, I'll adopt him to you." ,how?"

"Both Xun'er and his wife agreed voluntarily. It is much better for the two families to know each other better than adopting outsiders." Rong Zhengqing persuaded frankly.

——Your Majesty is young and strong, but he canonized his younger brother early and abandoned the crown prince. I want to ask him about his plans and make a decision after discussion, so as not to disappoint him.

Thinking of this, Rong Youtang put down his wine glass, and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I originally intended to find an adopted son, but this time and that time, now I have to shelve it."

"Why?" Father Rong was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that Your Majesty...cough cough, we didn't force you to marry a wife." Rong Zhengqing emphasized in surprise.

Rong Youtang said seriously: "This is my own decision, it has nothing to do with him."

"Since it has nothing to do with him, what are you worried about?" Father Rong frowned.

"Today, His Majesty the Ninth Highness has been canonized as the emperor's younger brother." Rong Youtang vaguely mentioned, and stopped.

"So what?" Father Rong, who was eager to hug his grandson, asked stubbornly.

Rong Youtang had no choice but to explain implicitly: "Your Majesty is young, if you want to marry a wife and have children, why do you need to have a younger brother? On the contrary, since you have already registered as a crown prince, for the sake of the balance of the family and the country, Your Majesty must be cautious about the issue of offspring."

"...That's right. Once I have a son soon, the situation of the eldest brother will inevitably be embarrassing." Rong Zhengqing had mixed feelings, thought for a while, and asked in a whisper: "Could it be that there is an agreement between you?"

Some words are inconvenient to reveal, Rong Youtang replied vaguely: "We probably talked about it."

The old man felt incredible, and tentatively inquired: "Your Majesty is the emperor, so it is possible that you will not marry a queen for the rest of your life?"

"He keeps what he says and is reliable, so you don't have to worry about it." Rong Youtang said solemnly, with a warm and down-to-earth heart:

"In short, I will never let him down!"

night palace

The lotus pavilion in the imperial garden is decorated with lights and festoons, the delicious wine and food are fragrant, and the charming singer has soft waist and limbs, dancing to the sound of music, which is pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Hongqing was at the top, and the emperor's younger brother sat alone, next to his elder brother; the civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor who were ordered to attend were arranged in order, and each of them sat in a table.

Rong Youtang and Song Shen sat together. The latter attended the palace banquet as a famous doctor who helped the world and was highly respected. After all, the world is afraid of disease.

"Rong Shangshu," Song Shen whispered, "Your Majesty is wearing a dragon robe, right?"

"The imperial edict has not yet been issued, I am not a minister." Rong Youtang whispered, "It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment is tired of rebelling, so many ministers recommend you to fill the vacancy, and you are almost inseparable! Oh, your majesty is more imposing now than before." Song Shen raised his glass, respecting King Rui from a distance, who was stunned and nervous Glancing left and right, the fifth prince sighed secretly, toasted Song Shen as if nothing had happened, and took a sip.

King Rui collected himself, and raised the teacup to replace the wine. As soon as the rim of the cup was put to his lips, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Song Shen on the opposite side drank it in one gulp. .

The fifth prince shook his head, and jokingly said to his elder brother: "The master of Song Miracle Physician specially named him 'Shen' in order to discipline his disciples. Now it seems that the old man's hard work was in vain."

King Rui wanted to laugh, but he stopped instantly, and sighed: "He has no father or mother, and his teacher's school has withered, and he has been wandering alone for more than ten years. It is rare to achieve today's achievements. Although his temper is a little bit off, it is harmless."

The fifth prince was hesitant to speak, but hesitated for a while, before he could no longer agree, "Yes."

Little nerd, really, really... go find him tonight!Song Shen lowered his head and poured the wine, covering his sharp eyes so as not to scare the other party away.

The palace banquet lasted until Haishi, when Emperor Hong Qing announced the end of the banquet, and Rong Youtang followed everyone in the farewell ceremony, trying his best to suppress the urge to raise his head all the time.

Two quarters of an hour later, Rong Youtang said goodbye to his colleagues one by one, and boarded their carriages to return home.

Unexpectedly, when the carriage drove into the quiet side street, it was suddenly stopped!

Xie Ting and the others were respectful, walked quickly to the window and whispered: "Master Rong, I have been waiting for you for a long time! Your Majesty invites you, please."

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Rong Youtang straightened his robes, jumped out of the carriage neatly, and told the coachman and the boy: "I have something important to do, you guys should be smart and drive back home, don't make any noise."

"Yes!"

"Little one understands." Rong Kaiji's strict selection of people following the car was really clever, after recognizing Xie Ting, he protected Rong Youtang into the sedan chair, and then drove the empty car back home.

Changing to a sedan chair, Xie Ting and the others moved through the streets with agility and light steps.

Rong Youtang closed his eyes and meditated, his heart was beating fast, he was anxious and looking forward to it, he had been separated for a long time, and he desperately wanted to see King Qing... He was so worried that his thoughts could not be suppressed at all.

While thinking about it, he returned to the palace unknowingly, and took a sedan chair through the secret alleyway to the emperor's bedroom.

When his feet landed on the ground, Rong Youtang raised his head and looked up at the bright and clear disc. The moonlight was like water, and the bright and silver light shrouded the well-arranged halls, majestic and majestic.

Qianming Palace has a high terrain, and when the evening wind blows, the corners of the robes flutter.

Dressed in the moonlight and taking advantage of the cool breeze, Rong Youtang stepped into the magnificent dormitory. Along the way, the eunuchs and maids of honor had been pushed back, which made him feel very considerate.

Zhao Zeyong had been waiting for a long time, when he heard the sound, he came out to meet him. As soon as he walked around the screen, the two faced each other and looked at each other.

really!

People depend on clothes, and His Highness wearing a dragon robe is really majestic!

Rong Youtang's eyes were bright, he stared at it for a while, and then said solemnly: "My minister sees Your Majesty."

Zhao Zeyong picked up the other party, took advantage of the situation and hugged him into his arms, and whispered: "No courtesy in private."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Youtang couldn't help touching the dragon robe, admiring the ingenious embroidery of dragon patterns, and asked curiously, "Why did you move here?"

"The bedroom that the emperor lived in remains the same, I'd better change it."

"I see." Rong Youtang was surrounded by strong arms, and the two walked into the inner room side by side.He knew the reason well, but still asked: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, why are you so eager to appoint a heir?"

"I have to be urgent. This king has no heirs yet, and many people are anxious. They take turns advising on marrying wives and accepting concubines. They wish they could fill the harem with three thousand beauties overnight. It is very urgent. After careful consideration, this king thinks that the prince should Establish it as soon as possible to avoid random suspicions from the government and the public, Xiao Jiu is very suitable, and the civil and military officials are not very dissatisfied, so his name is determined first."

——What else do I have to worry about?

Rong Youtang's heart was full of emotions, he hesitated to speak several times, and finally reminded: "The emperor should call himself 'Zhen'."

"I'm not used to it for a while."

Zhao Zeyong frowned slightly, and finally he was able to confide in the distress of being the emperor. He revealed: "When I first became the throne, I couldn't sleep at night."

"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, so it's no wonder that you are troubled." Rong Youtang said naturally.He generously looked at all the furnishings, dazzled.

"Busy government affairs are one thing, but also because of the rampant plague, so I am worried about your safety." Zhao Zeyong explained in a low voice, and while speaking, the two arrived at the dragon bed, and he gently pushed each other to lie on their backs.

"what--"

Rong Youtang was defenseless, and fell into the soft mattress. He instinctively wanted to get up, but was held firmly by the other party, unable to move.

"Look," Zhao Zeyong sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to point to all kinds of palace lanterns, patted the bright yellow quilt, and sighed: "There are too many lights, as usual, I light them up at night, and the fabrics are bright in color." , dazzling, I asked the inner court secretary to change it, but they said it was not in accordance with the etiquette, and finally only removed a few lights."

"This... well, the emperor can't violate the etiquette at will."

Rong Youtang couldn't help laughing, and completely relaxed. According to his words, he glanced at the large expanse of bright yellow, compared the layout of Prince Qing's bedroom, and nodded in agreement: "It's really bright and dazzling. Are you used to it now?"

Zhao Zeyong shook his head, took out a light blue handkerchief from under the pillow, and told helplessly: "When I sleep at night, I use it to cover my eyes."

"Hahaha~"

"It's so interesting!" Rong Youtang was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing out loud. He drank wine at the palace banquet, his jade-white skin was flushed, his crimson official robe was embroidered with peacocks, his body was slender and well-proportioned, and he was extremely handsome .

Zhao Zeyong smiled, his eyes were deep and focused, he pressed down forcefully, the two overlapped each other, he asked majesticly: "How dare you laugh at me?"

"No, dare not, I know I'm wrong." Rong Youtang sank into the mattress and struggled, but his hands were pulled up to the top of his head.

"Weichen? According to the law, only the empress can stay in Qianming Palace."

Rong Youtang held his breath and couldn't take his eyes off.

"Besides, you have to be sincere in admitting your mistakes." Zhao Zeyong said, pulling away casually, the bright yellow curtain hanging down to the floor, touched by fiercely intertwined limbs from time to time, swaying with the shaking of the dragon bed, enveloping the strong spring light.
