Jun Xin Wrong Pay

After the downfall of Concubine Feng, Meiren Xu benefited the most. Jiang Ming named her Zhaoyi, and immediately became one of the nine concubines, the same status as Meng Yuxin.

But the follow-up of Feng's case did not end. Two months later, news came from the northwest that Bei Rong had captured the third prince who had been exiled in Mobei and demanded that Jiang Ming pay 20 taels of silver to redeem him.How could Jiang Ming agree, and even guessed that the remnants of Feng's family planned this conspiracy, ordering the border city officials to strengthen their defenses to prevent Bei Rong from making trouble.

Half a month later, there was indeed a turmoil in the north that shocked the government and the public. Jiang Shen pretended to escape from Beirong and entered the border city. Consecutively conquered three surrounding cities.

Jiang Ming was woken up by Eunuch Lu in the middle of the night. When he saw the battle report from the north, he pushed the Feitian white porcelain ornament beside him to the ground, and cursed "Nie Zi" and Bei Rong.Meng Yuxin fell into a drowsy sleep, and when she heard the sound of cracking, she woke up immediately: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, you can continue to sleep." Jiang Ming said and began to get dressed in a hurry, and while walking outside the house, he ordered Eunuch Lu to call the ministers for a discussion.

Meng Yuxin couldn't sleep after being woken up, so she called Qiuhe and asked her to find out what happened in the court hall.Bei Rong's invasion of the country was originally classified as a secret, and Qiu He only found out some news after the morning court was over the next day.

After hearing this, Meng Yuxin sighed: "I didn't expect to overthrow the Feng family and invite Bei Rong to invade. It's too dramatic."

Jiang Ming stayed in the Yizheng Hall for two consecutive days, convening various ministries to prepare for the pre-war preparations.The army hadn't moved, food and grass had gone first, and the vanguard had already set off ahead of schedule, but Jiang Ming had a difficult time leading the army.Many ministers proposed that General Zheng Da should lead the army, but Jiang Ming only said to discuss it later, which made the courtiers confused for a while about the emperor's thoughts.

Meng Yuxin also didn't understand Jiang Ming's thoughts, because one day Eunuch Lu made a surprise visit and said that the emperor wanted to drink eight-treasure meal porridge and asked Meng Yuxin to bring it there.Eight-treasure meal porridge is the specialty of Jinghua Pavilion's imperial chef. This imperial chef is from Southern Chu, and Jiang Ming specially found it for Meng Yuxin.

Meng Yuxin asked Qiuhe to carry the food box, and left the fortified Jinghua Pavilion again, and came to the Deliberation Hall where Jiang Ming usually handles government affairs.When he came, several ministers were waiting outside the hall, including civil servants and military generals. Meng Yuxin felt that these people looked familiar, as if he had seen them at the New Year's Eve dinner.He passed them and entered the gate of the palace, and heard Jiang Ming say: "Let them all go back, I have made up my mind." Eunuch Lu hurriedly went out to report the letter, and finally sent all these important officials away.

"Yuxin come here." Jiang Ming frowned, beckoning Meng Yuxin to come to his side, Meng Yuxin nodded, took the food box from Qiuhe and came to Jiang Ming's side. "Your Majesty, this is stewed porridge, eat it while it's hot." Meng Yuxin opened the food box and took out the porcelain cup inside.

"Sit here." Jiang Ming pulled Meng Yuxin to be next to him, startled Meng Yuxin, how dare he take the emperor's throne, but Jiang Ming didn't care.Meng Yuxin had no choice but to sit and put the porridge into a bowl for Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming didn't do anything and asked Meng Yuxin to feed him, which made Meng Yuxin's eyes widen, suddenly not used to Jiang Ming being so close to him.

"You all go down." Xu Shi saw Meng Yuxin's embarrassment, Jiang Ming sent everyone out, leaned on the throne, and asked Meng Yuxin to feed him soup.Jiang Ming suddenly wanted to tease Meng Yuxin, and when Meng Yuxin was not prepared, he fed porridge to Meng Yuxin, so frightened that Meng Yuxin almost knocked over the soup bowl.

After finally finishing the porridge, Jiang Ming leaned on Meng Yuxin's body and fell asleep. Meng Yuxin could clearly see the black and blue under Jiang Ming's eyes. This was the first time he saw Jiang Ming with a tired face.Meng Yuxin could only let Jiang Ming lean against him. He looked at the pile of memorials on the table and found that there were two memorials opened together. The names of Jiang Ming and Zhu Zhu were so clear on the memorials.

Goldman Sachs, Meng Yuxin was a little surprised when he saw the name, and quickly moved his eyes elsewhere.Gao Sheng was the one who saved his life on New Year's Eve, but Meng Yuxin still hated him even though he had saved his life.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming's voice sounded in the silent political hall: "Yu Xin, General Gao Sheng is a surrendered minister of Southern Chu. What do you think of his ability?"

"Why did Your Majesty mention him so suddenly?" Meng Yuxin's heart stopped suddenly and she didn't know how to answer.

"Someone recommended that I appoint General Gao as the general of the Northern Expedition. Yuxin was the prince of Southern Chu back then, so she should know General Gao very well, right?"

No wonder you see Goldman Sachs' name on the royal case?Meng Yuxin also understood Jiang Ming's real intention for calling him here, and he said vaguely: "Your Majesty, Southern Chu has already perished, so what are you talking about before? I don't know about General Gao either."

Jiang Ming laughed out loud: "I heard that General Gao is your bodyguard. You recommended him to serve in the military. When Gao Sheng led his troops to join me in Chen Guo, you even sent a document accusing him of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Why not now?" Are you clear?"

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is indeed wise for General Gao to serve Chen Guo. What does His Majesty want me to say?" Now that Jiang Ming has found out his relationship with Goldman Sachs, Meng Yuxin doesn't want to hide it. So, Goldman first served his mother and later became his bodyguard.Knowing that Gao Sheng was talented and ambitious, Meng Yuxin specially recommended Gao Sheng to join the army. Later, Gao Sheng made great achievements and became a famous general in Southern Chu.But when Chen Guo attacked Nan Chu, Gao Sheng treasoned and turned against each other, which accelerated the demise of Nan Chu.

Meng Yuxin still hated Goldman Sachs, so of course she didn't want to mention Goldman Sachs.

"Don't be angry. I have no other intentions. I have decided to appoint Gao Sheng as General Zhenbei and lead the army to the border tomorrow." Before Meng Yuxin came, Jiang Ming had already prepared a memorial and sent someone to Gao Sheng's mansion to deliver the decree.Since he surrendered to Chen Guo to destroy Southern Chu, Gao Sheng had no official position, but he had no affairs. Jiang Ming didn't dare to send him out, after all, he didn't trust Gao Sheng.However, Jiang Ming never doubted the talent of Goldman Sachs. He put Goldman Sachs in the capital for the convenience of supervision. He hesitated for a long time when Beirong invaded this time. Consider choosing Goldman Sachs.

Zheng Yurong, General Zheng is the queen's elder brother and the most powerful relative in the military. Jiang Ming has already eliminated the Feng family, so of course he doesn't want the Zheng family to dominate.While cultivating the Xie family, he hopes that the Xie family can become the new mainstay of civil servants, and on the other hand, he is weakening the military power of the Zheng family. This time, the selection of the general of Zhenbei is related to the entire country of Chen. After careful consideration, he finally chose Goldman Sachs, who has no power .

Jiang Ming was not worried about Goldman Sachs' ability, but only worried about whether Goldman Sachs was loyal. When Goldman Sachs asked to see Meng Yuxin, he was finally relieved.That's right, as Meng Yuxin's former bodyguard, Goldman Sachs has always been ashamed of Meng Yuxin. Jiang Ming only needs to hold Meng Yuxin in his hands, so why worry about Goldman Sachs being disobedient.

Meng Yuxin was quick-witted, and when he heard Jiang Ming's words, he made a good guess about Jiang Ming's plan. He also heard that Jiang Ming said that Goldman Sachs wanted to see him, and he quickly vetoed it: "I don't want to see him. Man, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."

"Yu Xin hates General Gao so much, does she still think about her homeland? Don't forget, now the whole world belongs to me." Jiang Ming said unwillingly.

Meng Yuxin also said angrily: "The world belongs to His Majesty, so what does it have to do with me seeing Goldman Sachs? Southern Chu has perished, and I don't want to have anything to do with the past."

"Okay, don't be angry. This time I sent Goldman Sachs to send troops. He wants to see you, the old master, and I can't refuse. You just meet once. It doesn't matter if you scold him or beat him, it's up to you, but one thing, you We should look forward to his return in victory."

Meng Yuxin looked at Jiang Ming, and finally nodded in compromise. Jiang Ming called him over just to test his attitude. If he hangs around with Nan Chu, he will probably violate Jiang Ming's taboo.Jiang Ming also wanted to use him to test Goldman Sachs. A general who had surrendered before, Jiang Ming couldn't trust him to hand over the military power to him.Meng Yuxin thought again how could he restrain Goldman Sachs?When he was the prince of Southern Chu, didn't he also fail to prevent Gao Sheng from surrendering to Chen Guo?

With complicated emotions, Meng Yuxin got up and left the Yizheng Hall. He stood on the high platform, looked at the distant palace, and realized that he had been imprisoned by Jinghua Pavilion for too long, and he had forgotten how vast the sky was. .

"Son."

Meng Yuxin recovered from Qiuhe's voice and found that Jiang Xuan was walking up the steps step by step and looking at him.Meng Yuxin immediately turned her eyes away. Jiang Xuan hadn't come to see him since the greenhouse incident. Now that the two met suddenly, Meng Yuxin was extremely embarrassed.

Jiang Xuan came to his side, bowed and said: "See Yu Xiuyi."

"The third prince is free." Meng Yuxin didn't look at Jiang Xuan after finishing speaking, and went straight down the steps. He deliberately avoided Jiang Xuan, but he could feel the dazzling eyes behind him. He felt like a locked prey, so hurry up He left as if fleeing.

Back at Jinghua Pavilion, Meng Yuxin wanted to calm down and concentrate on the meeting in the afternoon, but Xu Zhaoyi came to him in a hurry during lunch: "Yu Xiuyi, hurry up to persuade Xuan'er, he actually asked the emperor Please go out with the army."

"My lady, don't worry, what's going on?"

Meng Yuxin asked Xu Zhaoyi to sit down and talk. It turned out that Jiang Xuan went to the Yizheng Hall to ask the emperor to allow him to go out with the army, which surprised Meng Yuxin.It is already a special case among the princes that Jiang Xuan entered the official career before leaving the palace and building a mansion. Now that he asks for orders to go out, it is no wonder Xu Zhaoyi is anxious.

"Your Majesty agrees?" Meng Yuxin asked, but he already had the answer in his heart. If Jiang Ming didn't agree, why would Xu Zhaoyi have to go through this.

"Yeah, His Majesty actually agreed. Xuan'er started to pack her things when she came back from the Yizheng Hall, and then went to the barracks. I couldn't stop her." Xu Zhaoyi said angrily and urgently, she didn't care about Jiang Xuan's going to the Yizheng Hall. She didn't even know, and by the time she knew, there was no room for maneuver.

Meng Yuxin fell into deep thought after hearing this, and for a while didn't know how to persuade Xu Zhaoyi. After Xu Zhaoyi asked again and again, he said: "Zhaoyi, please be safe and don't be impatient. Since His Majesty has agreed, he will definitely not take it back..."

"That's why I asked Xiuyi to persuade His Majesty." Xu Zhaoyi said hastily. He thought that the emperor might have changed his mind because Meng Yuxin was favored.

Meng Yuxin didn't know Xu Zhaoyi's thoughts, but he didn't think he had that much effect on Jiang Ming, and it would be too ridiculous for a man like him to talk about being favored. "Zhaoyi, how can the imperial decree be amended at will? On the other hand, it is a good thing for the third prince to leave at this time," Meng Yuxin said eloquently, "Your Majesty did not send General Zheng to the expedition just to restrain the Zheng family. Now Your Majesty promoted the Xie family to compete with the Zheng family, and the empress and the prince will have to face a problem - to stand in line. No matter which side you stand on, it is not a wise move, so the third prince left in time to avoid this problem. In addition, joining the army is also counted as leaving I found another shortcut, as long as I don't offend the Queen's faction, I will be able to have a place in the court in the future."

Xu Zhaoyi felt that what Meng Yuxin said was reasonable, but as a mother, how could she have the heart to let her child suffer in the army, and war is not a joke. She heard that Bei Rong was brave and good at fighting, and her methods were even more cruel. She once slaughtered a thousand border villagers Yuren, how can Xu Zhaoyi be relieved by this.

Meng Yuxin had already clarified the stakes with Xu Zhaoyi, and the rest was up to Xu Zhaoyi to think about it. Although he didn't want Jiang Xuan to go to war, he knew that only through experience could a child grow into a man.Of course, he also had selfish intentions, he thought that Jiang Xuan's leaving the palace might be a good thing for both of them.

After sending Xu Zhaoyi away, Meng Yuxin didn't have the time to take a lunch break, so she just sat by the window and read a book. After an unknown amount of time, Qiuhe came to tell him that Eunuch Lu had led General Gao to Jinghua Pavilion.Meng Yuxin sighed, put down her book, and came to the main hall to meet them.
