Reverse Junhou

Chapter 45 Telling the Heart [2]

The governor of the eastern border played directly in front of the imperial court, displaying the crimes of the governor of Duling County and the victory of the Yandong Army in defeating Wushou.

The great victory in the East China Sea was reported back to the capital, causing shocks in the ruling and opposition parties.Emperor Jingyang personally issued an order to thoroughly investigate the case of Du Ling's affair with officials and businessmen, and summoned General Yandong and the Prince of the Supervising Army to Beijing to offer rewards.

The war in the Yandang Pass and the Hu tribe is stalemate, and the barbarians in western Xinjiang are in turmoil. Now it is a troubled time, and the court needs a big victory.

Wen Shizhen did not go back to the mansion directly after leaving the court, but went to Linshuyuan in a sedan chair.He avoided the officials on duty in front of the yamen and went straight to the inner courtyard.

Qian Yanhong just came back from the palace, and bumped into Wen Shizhen who rushed over in a hurry.He had known that Xiangxia would come to see him after court, and after confirming that there was no one around, he hurriedly welcomed him into the courtyard.

"The emperor wants to thoroughly investigate Ren Ji, but I didn't expect this kid to be very smart, so he ran away early when he heard the news." Qian Yanhong stroked his beard and sighed, "I was the one who made sure that Ren Ji was appointed as Duling County. If it comes down together, I’m afraid it’s hard to escape the blame.”

"Your Majesty Qian is already a veteran of the three dynasties, so the emperor will naturally not blame you." Wen Shizhen said, "I came to the Privy Council to ask the old man about the military report of the Holy Majesty in the Eastern Border, did he mention us and Wushou? About the relationship?"

Qian Yanhong patted the table: "Bringing this matter up, thanks to you, that kid from the Wen family!"

Wen Shizhen frowned indiscriminately: "This matter has something to do with Wen Yu?"

"Master Wen, don't pretend to be ignorant. If it wasn't for your instruction, he wouldn't have the courage." Qian Yanhong glanced at Wen Shizhen meaningfully. I didn't mention the word Wenfu, but I also mentioned Wenji's merits one by one. I heard that Wenji was in the east with Ren Ji behind his back, and recommended all the masters who had been with Duling's mansion to the king of the East China Sea. I originally I thought he was instructed by you, so he didn't interfere. Unexpectedly, the king of the East China Sea, the emperor, said that the collusion between government and businessmen was all done by Ren Ji, and he left our relationship with Wushou clean. , It's really wonderful."

Wen Shizhen's expression froze when he heard this.He had heard very early that Wen Ji had been involved in the Wen family's business route in the east, but he never expected that he would cooperate with the king of the East China Sea.When the king of the East China Sea first arrived in the east, Wen Yu gave him such a big fortune, no wonder he was willing to excuse Wenfu.

Now that Ren Ji has absconded and Wushou is dead, if another group of people are sent south to clear up the supporting evidence, the emperor will not be able to find Wen Futou.It's just that the king of the East China Sea is in vain, and he can take the wealth source of the East Territory as his own.

It is not a long-term solution for the government and the private sector. Now that the situation in the capital is tight, it is time to stop.As for the mess in the Duling Mansion, it was still left to the King of the East China Sea to worry about.

Thinking of this, Wen Shizhen said with a smile to Qian Yanhong: "Old Man Ge is serious, Wen Ji is just playing tricks, you don't know, he used to love to mess around like this when he was in Beijing."

Qian Yanhong shook his head and said: "No, no, I heard that this son is resourceful and decisive, and he has a bright future."

After receiving the order from Emperor Jingyang, Wen Xuechao and Zhao Fengci set off for Yincheng to bid farewell to Zhao Yansheng and Yang Shuyue.

Yang Shuyue commanded the servants in the mansion to load the boxes of seafood from Yincheng onto the carriage back to Beijing.Just as Zhao Yancheng was about to step forward to help, Yang Shuyue gave him a gouged look, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Doctor Yang has been clamoring to leave since he followed me south to Duling. Now that you and I are going back to Beijing, he is still here." Wen Xuechao looked at the busy little doctor in front of him and smiled. Say it to Zhao Feng.

"Peace of mind is home." Zhao Feng said calmly.

Yang Shuyue held Li Duishou's hand sincerely, and said reluctantly: "Li Duishou, from today onwards, we will turn our hostility into friendship. If we can meet again in Guangyang one day, you and I will definitely go to Wanggui Restaurant. Have a drink."

Li Dui guarded around the bend to avoid Dr. Xiaoyang for many days, but failed to avoid the sharp gaze of the prince on his hand.He retracted his hands without any trace, and said quickly: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it."

Zhao Yancheng walked up to the two horses: "What do you two want me to do with the dozens of boxes of real gold and silver piled up in the backyard?"

The gold, silver and jewels that the merchants paid tribute to the palace are still piled in the backyard, and a lot of dust has accumulated over time.

Wen Xuechao had a half smile but not a smile: "Hasn't the prince already thought about it?"

Zhao Yancheng glanced at Yang Shuyue who was still inquiring about Han Linwei, pretending to be helpless and said: "Master Wen always talks about people's livelihood, so this king can only take it from the people and use it for the people."

After a while, Bai Wan came to report that the dry food for the carriages and horses was ready.There was the shout of riding a horse in front, and the team returning to Beijing was about to set off.

After getting on the horse, Zhao Fengci suddenly said to Zhao Yancheng: "Fourth brother, you will be a good prince."

Although Zhao Yancheng and Zhao Fengci are both heirs of the dragon, their life circumstances are quite different.This was the first time he heard Zhao Fengci call his brother.

He didn't say much, just stepped forward and patted Zhao Fengci's shoulder: "Fifth Brother, Lord Wen, take care all the way."

Zhao Yansheng and Yang Shuyue stood in front of the Donghai Palace, watching the group of people ride away on horseback.

"Zhao Yancheng, why don't you tell His Highness Fifth Highness what you think in your heart?" Yang Shuyue asked.

"The matter between the two of them, how can others allow others to talk too much." Zhao Yancheng pinched Yang Shuyue's earlobe, "Besides, there is no turning back for Wen Xuechao."

At the beginning when he went from north to south, Wen Xuechao was concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, so he came to Du Ling after traveling all the way.Now that I return to Beijing from the east, I can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the end of summer and early autumn, flowers bloom along the way.Wen Xuechao galloped freely along the river embankment, Zhao Fengci had no choice but to follow him wildly.He didn't know where to find two gardenias, but he wanted to wear them for Zhao Fengci.

He couldn't resist Wen Xuechao, so he could only sullenly let Wen Xuechao pin the flower petals on his hair crown.

The prefect of Linzhou specially prepared a boat on the Yishui River to welcome the soldiers and horses of Yandong.Wen Xuechao drank a lot of wine, trying hard to provoke him.That night, he was rougher with Wen Xuechao than before, as if he lost his mind.

After crossing the Yishui River, I rode my horse through the twelve cities in the south of the Yangtze River.Wen Xuechao's flattery made him go crazy, they kissed each other fiercely, desire was engraved into the soul and penetrated into the flesh and blood.Wen Xuechao is so indulgent, he is trapped in the lingering with the one he loves, as if he wants to give up everything in response.

From a distance, he could see the shadow of Yashan.Wen Xuechao rode to Zhao Fengci's side and smiled at him: "Your Highness, how far have we left the team?"

Zhao Fengci kissed the corner of his eyes lightly: "It's been about thirty miles."

Wen Xuechao allowed Zhao Fengci to kiss him in the mountains and rivers, with delicate kisses down his neck.He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

After the kiss, Xue Chao said: "Baiwan's troops are almost at Yashan. I am going to join them now, and I will part ways with His Highness here."

Zhao Fengci's expression froze: "Aren't you going to Beijing with the Yandong Army?"

"I went south to the east to fulfill my duties as an official patrolling Xinjiang." Wen Xuechao said, "After entering Guangyang Capital, I will be the Minister of Internal History, a close minister of the Crown Prince, and have no personal relationship with His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Only then did Zhao Fengci understand that Wen Xuechao was counting down the journey, how much time was left to return to the cage where he was born and raised him.

All the demands along the way are drinking poison to quench thirst.

"There are many crises in the court, Your Highness must be extremely careful." Wen Xuechao continued.

Zhao Fengci looked at the person in front of him, and said slowly: "I will get what I want when I return to Beijing this time."

Wen Xue smiled towards him, he let go of the rein, stretched out his hand to touch the palm of His Highness Fifth Highness, and placed a soft kiss on his palm.

He followed Bai Wan away.

Zhao Fengci stared at his palm in a daze, and after a long while, he reached out and took out a hard object from the lapel.

The Left Tiger Talisman lay quietly in his palm.Before leaving Yincheng, Yang Shuyue handed over to him the item kept by the family for generations.

Yang Shuyue said to him, Your Highness, the time has come.

He wants to get what he wants, including his sweetheart.

*****

The governor of the Eastern Territory returned to Beijing first, and reported to the Holy Master the situation of the battle between Duling Mansion and Wushou in detail.The next day, Zhu Liang, the general of Yandong, and the five sons of the supervising emperor entered the palace to face the saint.

Emperor Jingyang's dragon body is sick, and he has handed over the power of supervising the country to the crown prince Zhao Qimiao.In recent years, it has become customary for Emperor Jingyang to be absent from the early court, and most of the princes are present to assist the government.Today, General Yandong came to the palace to have an audience, and Emperor Jingyang unexpectedly came to court for the first time.

Zhao Fengci, dressed in the prince's robe, walked into the Chuigong Hall with Zhu Liang.He saw the old Man Shuang sitting on the dragon chair from a distance, cupped his hands and said in a serious voice: "I see my father!"

The crown prince standing in front of Dan Chi frowned, and the courtiers in the palace began to discuss in low voices.

His Highness the Fifth Highness is His Majesty's dragon son, what should have been a prince's ceremony, was indeed a general's ceremony just now.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingyang waved his hand to silence the voices in the hall, and said kindly to Zhao Fengci: "I haven't seen Lao Wu for several years, and he is still so heroic."

Prince Zhao Qimiao withdrew his scrutiny and nodded to Zhao Fengci: "Fifth brother."

After everyone saluted in turn, Emperor Jingyang asked Zhao Fengci many things related to the naval battle on Junliu Island, and Zhao Fengci answered them one by one without hesitation.

When Emperor Jingyang heard that the main force of Wushou had been wiped out by the Yandong Army, he nodded in satisfaction, and said with a pleasant face, "Wen Aiqing witnessed the battle of Junliu, is what the fifth brother said true?"

Immediately one of the courtiers walked out.This person was dressed in a purple cloud crane court uniform, holding a green wooden wat board, and said softly, "I would like to report to your majesty, the soldiers of the Yandong army in the First Battle of Junliu fought and wiped out the main force of Wushou in one go. Your Highness's words are true."

Zhao Fengci's eyes fell on Wen Xuechao.This was the first time he saw Wen Xuechao in court clothes.

The jade knot at the neckline is fastened to the front of the chin, revealing very little of the skin on the neck.Under the inner skirt, there are all scarlet traces left by him yesterday.

Zhao Fengci felt that he had been driven crazy by Wen Xuechao, and he actually remembered Wen Xuechao's appearance of throwing away his helmet and armor under him in the hall of the Ninth Five Lord.

He stared at Wen Xuechao's tall and graceful back, his mind was confused.

But I saw Wen Xue stepped forward, and continued: "Your Highness's words are indeed true, but all of them are credited to the Yandong Army. As the governor of the Eastern Territory, I have the responsibility of inspecting military discipline and officials. Today I want to participate in five Your Highness made a mistake in the army."

Zhao Fengci was stunned.

If you heard me right, Wen Xuechao wants to read a book for himself in front of the imperial court?

Emperor Jingyang was also startled: "What does Wen Aiqing want to participate in?"

I saw Wen Xuechao sternly said: "Your Majesty's participation in the Fifth Highness is three inappropriate. I lost my guard and fell into the Wushou enemy camp. This is one inappropriate. The generals entered the account and drank alcohol during practice. This is two inappropriate. When patrolling Duling, I was in the street. Ma, this is three inappropriate things. Your Highness has violated military discipline, and I hope His Majesty will punish you, so as to set an example to others!"

Wen Xue looked back at Zhao Fengci who was still there, her eyes were full of wantonness.
