Reverse Junhou

Emperor Jingyang was furious during the siege of Guangyang, and the asthma he had had for a long time broke out again.Several old imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office stayed in the palace for several days before curing the emperor's hemoptysis.However, people with discerning eyes have already seen that the emperor's vitality has been severely injured after this ordeal, and his health is getting worse day by day.

During the period when Emperor Jingyang was convalescing, the Wen family and his sons were in charge of the Second Privy Council of Zhongshu, and the guards of the Habayashi patrolled the city day and night to stabilize the order in Gyeonggi.The Fifth Prince led the Zhenbei Army back and forth between inside and outside the pass, and escorted the refugees who had fled south back to the sixteen prefectures in the north.

After the first lunar month, the north and south city gates of Guangyang have been renovated. The green grass outside the city is like shade, and the willows and flowers are bright inside the city. Spring has returned to the earth.

Emperor Jingyang had just recovered from a serious illness, and his first order after going to court was to reward the second army of Yulin Zhenbei who repelled the Yanqu tribe.The officers and soldiers of the two armies were promoted according to the law, and the sixteen prefectures in the north and the Zhili in the north and south were exempted from taxes for half a year as appropriate.Bai Wan, deputy governor of Yubayashi, made meritorious service in escorting him, and was promoted to the commander of the Yubayashi Army.

The fifth prince, Zhao Fengci, was canonized as a prince, inherited the old palace, and was titled "Huai".

However, Emperor Jingyang did not confer a reward on Zhongshu's servant Wen Yu who led the troops to the tower alone, but only praised him verbally in the early court.Because of this, rumors arose in the court, saying that His Majesty's attitude towards Wen's family has become more subtle recently, and it seems that he has more other thoughts than the previous fear.

There were also rumors gradually in the harem, saying that the number of nights spent in the harem after recovering from illness was much less. I don't know why the empress empress touched the emperor's scales.

Wen Xuechao knew that people in the court were talking about him, saying that he risked his life to defend the isolated city, but was still overwhelmed by His Highness King Huai who led the army to help.He ignored the gossip and gossip, but the other victim always kept it in his heart.

"Today's spring banquet at Shangshutai, they said that you sneered at me in front of everyone a few days ago." Zhao Fengci said.

Wen Xue didn't change her face: "I didn't."

Zhao Fengci held down the struggling man under him, and kissed all the way along the neck: "You tell Liu Shilang, if you see me again next time, you will break my legs yourself."

Zhao Fengci knew in his heart that since the class teacher returned to the court, there were many more people in the court who fawned on him and tempted him than before. Wen Xuechao went out several times in order to prevent those who were interested in knowing what was going on between the two of them. His mouth crushes him in front of people.

Wen Xuechao wanted to argue, but Zhao Fengci blocked his lips with his fingers.He raised his hand to push Zhao Fengci's shoulder, but his fingertips accidentally caught the hairband on Zhao Fengci's jade crown. With a slight pull, the person in front of him bent down, as if he was about to refuse.Outside the courtyard came the clacking sound of Zhao Fenghui trotting past, and the shouting of Ah Shen chasing after him.Paper kites flew over the high walls of the palace, floating in the clear sky thousands of miles away.

The courtyard is deep, inside and outside the high walls, one side is full of spring scenery, and the other side is full of pavilions.

In the summer of the 34th year of Yongping, Prince Zhao Qimiao inspected the closure of the diliang water conservancy in the south, and invited the imperial court to return to Beijing.A few days later, Emperor Jingyang agreed to play.

It is a big event for the prince to return to the court, and there can be no mistakes on the way.Emperor Jingyang ordered the dispatch of Habayashi guards to go south to escort the prince back to Guangyang.

Bai Wan took a step forward, hesitating a little: "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"What's the matter with Bai Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the Right Tiger Talisman is still in the hands of His Highness King Huai, and I cannot mobilize the Habayashi guards without permission."

What Bai Wan said is indeed true, it has been several months since the Fifth Prince returned to court, and the Emperor has not taken back the Right Tiger Talisman from his hand.

The courtiers looked at each other, could it be that His Majesty forgot?

After a long while, Emperor Jingyang said slowly: "Since it's with Lao Wu, you can ask him for someone."

Everyone was shocked, it seemed that the emperor had no intention of taking the right tiger amulet back.But if the Habayashi army is dispatched by the fifth prince from now on, what's the deal?

As expected, Wen Shizhen came to the front of the imperial court and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Huai is now in charge of the Zhenbei Army, and he is already busy with military affairs. If he still needs to take care of the Habayashi Guard, he may have more energy than he wants."

Emperor Jingyang showed displeasure on his face: "Wen Qing doesn't need to say anything about what I have decided."

Wen Shizhen paused slightly, as if a little unexpected.But seeing that Emperor Jingyang remained expressionless, he could only nod in agreement and return to his original place.

The courtiers found that His Majesty has been preoccupied recently, irritable and irritable, and he seemed to be a different person than before.No one dared to disobey the emperor's will at will, and the Chuigong Hall fell into silence for a while.

As soon as the morning court was over, Wen Shizhen called Wen Xuechao who was going out: "Wen Ji, come here."

Wen Xuechao stopped, followed his father through the back door of the Chui Gong Hall, and went straight to a remote place in the side palace.

"Can you see what that guy is up to now?" Wen Shizhen said coldly, "For so many years, what did Miaoer do that didn't suit his wishes? Now a fifth prince popped out of nowhere in Zhenbei Mansion and won several battles , and hooked his heart."

"King Huai's actions are reckless, and he is arrogant, in my child's opinion, it is not appropriate." Wen Xuechao remained calm.

"I heard people say that you have been in contact with King Huai recently?" Wen Shizhen asked seemingly casually.

He stared at his eldest son closely: "Wen Ji, father advises you, don't be confused as a big event is approaching."

Wen Xuechao smiled: "Father, I am on duty in the Privy Council with King Huai, so we cannot avoid contact. However, our temperaments and ambitions are not compatible, so we can only be enemies, not friends."

The Habayashi guards sent by the imperial court joined the prince's men and horses on the banks of the Yishui River, and a group of people came straight to Guangyangdu.

Zhao Qimiao was urging the team back to Beijing to speed up along the way.Habayashi Wei saw that the crown prince was in a hurry, maybe he had something important to do when he returned to Beijing, so he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, the group traveled day and night, and arrived at the capital of Guangyang within five days.

The prince had never witnessed the disaster in Guangyang, but he knew the shame of the broken mountains and rivers through word of mouth.People are spreading rumors about how the Zhao family abandoned the capital and fled in a hurry.How did the Yanqu tribe show off their might and power, cut off the head of the guard in front of the whole city, and let the loyal soul who died for the country be dusted.

If he had been in Guangyang when Hu Bing was besieging the city, he would have led the defenders to fight head-on, and he would not have been a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.But up to now, Zhao Fengci has been responsible for repelling the Yanqu tribe.He had only been away from Beijing for a few months, and his father allowed Zhao Feng to resign from the position of prince, and he was the most honored among all the princes.

After working hard for more than [-] years, unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway.He returned to Beijing this time to take away what originally belonged to him.

Zhao Qimiao had just entered the city, before he had time to pay respects to Emperor Jingyang, he was invited by the Queen to the Central Palace for a talk.He hurried into the central palace and saw the queen mother sitting in the hall, but he didn't come back to his senses for a moment.

Empress Wen has been in the Central Palace for more than twenty years, her complexion has always been ruddy, and her appearance is no different from Tao Li's age.I haven't seen her for a few months, and she has a lot of white hair on her sideburns. With the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she looks faintly old.

"The sons and ministers have been away from Beijing for the past few months, and the mother has suffered." Thinking of the mother's ups and downs, Zhao Qimiao hated the Yanqu tribe to the marrow.

"During the days when Hu Yi besieged the city, I was only physically exhausted, remembering that Miao'er would be able to survive. Now that I don't feel the emperor's heart, it's the pain in my heart." Queen Wen sighed, and the golden hairpin and jade beads dangled in her hair.

Zhao Qimiao's heart trembled. Ever since his father ascended the throne, his mother had been favored in this huge harem. Why did his mother lose the emperor's heart just after the siege of Guangyang was lifted?

He gritted his teeth and said, "But it has something to do with Zhao Fengci?"

Wen Xing'er never told the prince that she conspired with her elder brother in the Wen Mansion to give the Emperor Jingyang the fragrance of the soul.The emperor had been drinking incense for 20 years, but unexpectedly, when Yanqu attacked the city, he was out of breath and coughed up blood in his chest.Since then, the soul fragrance has lost its effect.After New Year's Eve, she gradually noticed some clues.From ignoring Wen Ji's achievements in defending the city to not setting foot in the middle palace, the emperor became more and more wary of her and Wen's family.Now that the crown prince rushed back to the capital all the way, Emperor Jingyang didn't make any statement.

If His Majesty really has other thoughts, then don't blame her for being merciless.

Empress Wen took the snow handkerchief presented by the nanny, covering her face with tears: "It's all right that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Now that King Huai is in full swing, if Miao'er is delayed because of this, I will be a sinner."

Hearing this, Zhao Qimiao felt a little chill in his eyes: "Could it be that Father wants to..."

Empress Wen wiped the corner of her eyes: "I heard from your uncle that the emperor gave King Huai the Right Tiger Talisman, and now he can mobilize the Habayashi guards at will."

Zhao Qimiao said coldly, "How can father be so confused!"

Habayashi Wei's dispatching power was not given to the prince, but to a prince who had just been canonized. The intention of this time could not be more obvious.

Wen Ji also comforted him that he had his mother's family behind him, the crown princess's family and the Central Court and the two courts backed him, so Zhao Fengci should not be afraid of this person.Now that Zhao Fengci has returned with a big victory, he is not only a member of the Privy Council, but also holds the Right Tiger Talisman in his hand, holding the military power in Zhenbei.

This is going to be reversed!

I only heard the queen slowly say: "Miao'er, your father is now confused, and now we are the only ones left."

Zhao Qimiao clenched his fists tightly, and the expression on his face became a little weird.He already understood the intention of the queen mother.

The Prince's faction has been in business for many years, and it has long been intertwined in the capital, covering the sky with one hand.The Wen family now has two ministers in the court, and it is no problem to overthrow the court and the opposition.But if you want to compete with Zhao Fengci who holds a heavy army, these alone are not enough.

As long as you get the Zuohu Talisman in the hands of the emperor, you can mobilize the Zhu family's [-] Yandong troops.

*****

After the siege of Guangyang, the capital curfew has been in effect for several months.As soon as midnight comes every day, Habayashi Guard will close the four city gates, east, west, north, south, and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

The Habayashi guards at the north city gate were standing on both sides of the entrance, checking one by one the last batch of carriages and horses entering the city today.At three o'clock in Haishi, a simple carriage drove slowly from outside the city gate. The groom was dressed in black clothes and a bamboo hat, and his appearance and age could not be seen clearly.

Habayashi Wei Yilu stopped the carriage: "Where are the documents for entering the city?"

The groom hunched over, got off the horse tremblingly, and returned to the carriage behind him to search for something.

Habayashi Wei was a little impatient, and touched the frame of the frame with the tassel in his hand: "What are you dawdling about, why don't you hurry up!"

"Master, don't rush." ​​The low voice of the groom came from inside the carriage, "I'm looking for something good to send you to see the King of Hades."

Immediately there was a "hissing" fuze sound from inside the frame, and Habayashi Mamoru in front of the car reacted immediately. He quickly took a step back and shouted: "Get down!"

The carriage suddenly ignited flames several feet high, and the fragments of the explosion flew around.There was a thunder on the flat ground, only a loud "bang" was heard, and thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the North Tower was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.
