Princess [rebirth]

As soon as Zhuo Jingfan came, the third princess put away her haughty look, but she still had anger in her heart, so the expression on her face became a little stiff, Zhuo Jingfan ignored it, and after a few words of reprimand, she sent the three princesses away. The princess and others all sent away.

When only Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Wan were left in the sleeping hall, Dou Wan forced herself to smile, "Why did your lord come here today?" He doesn't know how to move around in the harem, so today he came to Fengyang Pavilion, which really surprised Dou Wan.

"The weather is nice today, follow me to the garden." Zhuo Jingfan smiled, but did not answer, but took Dou Wan to the imperial garden.When they arrived in the garden, Zhuo Jingfan chose a small pavilion with an empty surrounding. After ordering the palace servants to serve tea, he waved them back outside the pavilion to guard.

In the pavilion, Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Wan were sitting face to face, and Dou Wan lowered her head respectfully. Although Zhuo Jingfan was her "sister-in-law" in name, Zhuo Jingfan was a gentleman, and she was a little girl. When the lady and the gentleman are alone together, they are always worried and a little awkward, so they seem restless.

"You don't need to be nervous, I'm here today, actually it's the sage's intention." Zhuo Jingfan pushed the teacup towards Dou Wan, and said in a gentle tone.

"...Is it for marriage?" Dou Wan also responded quickly, after a moment of silence, she asked softly.

"Well, the saint pointed you to the Fu family for his intentions, but no matter what the intention is, it is definitely not to make trouble for the Fu family or to make a fool of you. After all, the saint is your brother, and he only wishes you well " Zhuo Jingfan said pointedly, and briefly explained the matter of the marriage.The real reason why Dou Chun bestowed the four princesses to the Fu family, Zhuo Jingfan can't explain clearly, but he can choose some unimportant ones to release the four princesses, after all, Fu Jue and Dou Chun will be of great use, so Fu Jue's wife will You have to choose carefully.

These days, Zhuo Jingfan has been secretly observing the conduct of the four princesses, and the words and deeds of the four princesses outside or in private are naturally watched by others. In the end, he discussed with Dou Chun several times before deciding on the four princesses. The princess is the candidate for marriage.After all, the saint wanted to give Fu Jue a cover-up identity, so a son-in-law who had no real power and could get close to the royal family was the best choice. When Fu Jue became a son-in-law, the ministers in the court would treat him and the Fu family lightly.

But these are Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun's secret plans. On the surface, putting the fourth princess in the Fu family seems to cut off the future of the Fu family, so Zhuo Jingfan came here today to release the fourth princess. After all, with the intelligence of the fourth princess, she must also want to get her identity, but it is a hot potato for the Fu family, and it is still the kind that cannot be thrown away.Therefore, he had to let the fourth princess have no resentment in her heart, otherwise if the fourth princess caused trouble around Fu Jue in the future, it would be troublesome for Dou Chun.

Hearing Zhuo Jingfan's explanation, Dou Wan felt a little better. She also knew that the other party hadn't confessed everything, but she knew her identity well, she shouldn't have let her know, and she wouldn't get to the bottom of it. It was enough for Zhuo Jingfan to say these words.Now that she had the sage's guarantee, after that day, Dou Wan felt relieved and obediently stayed in the bedroom to prepare for her marriage.

A few days later, an imperial decree referring to marriage was sent to the bedroom of the third princess.

This time, the sage pointed out the three princesses to the family of a civil servant. There were two gentlemen in the civil servant's family.Wenchen's family suddenly had such a big happy event, so he felt elated, and he could hold his head high among his colleagues. After all, their family had a princess, and the relationship with the saint was closer.

Some courtiers in the court who are good at drilling camps saw that Erlang Jun, the civil servant, had accepted the princess, so they started to walk around with the civil servants. As for the Fu family, who also accepted the princess, there was no one to care about. After all, the eldest son, Princess Shang, and the second son, Shang Princess is very different.The eldest son is usually the hope and pillar of the family. If the princess is favored, it can be said that the future is almost ruined. Therefore, some courtiers think they have understood the intention of the saint, and feel that this is a disguised form of the saint to suppress the Fu family. The family had been severely suppressed during the first emperor's time. If even the saints continue to suppress the Fu family, it may be difficult for the Fu family to make a comeback.

After the third princess received the imperial decree, she realized that she had been pointed out by the sage to Erlang Jun of the official servant's family. She held the imperial decree and had a gloomy look in her eyes, but she had to swallow her humiliation and thank you.After the inner eunuch passed the edict and left, the third princess, Dou Qi, wished she could destroy the edict, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?Can a small official of the fourth rank still be a princess?Did the saint praise the other party too much?Or is the saint humiliating himself?

Dou Qi resentfully sent someone to inquire about the situation at the servant's house, and the news that came back made her lose her temper. It's just a juren, how can Dou Qi swallow this breath.There was Dou Wan's Fu family in front, and Dou Qi was dissatisfied with how she saw the marriage of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but she also knew that the imperial decree had been issued, even if she didn't want to marry again, she couldn't help it.

There are two princesses in the palace who are going to get married at once, and Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites are busy. Fortunately, the fourth princess's wedding ceremony will wait until Fu Jue's class master returns to the court, and the Qin Tianjian will choose another auspicious day.What they need to be busy right now is naturally the third princess's evening ceremony. The eldest princess is going to get married, and the first thing to prepare is the princess mansion. After discussing with Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites, Minister Zongzhengsi and Minister of Rites took a map of Kyoto and went to Meet the saint.

They have to ask clearly whether this princess mansion needs to be rebuilt, or one of the old mansions can be selected for renovation, and the choice of the saint can also allow them to weigh the weight of the three princesses in the saint's heart, and it will be good in the future act.After all, although there are old rules to follow when the eldest princess gets married, the "rules" are different according to the degree of favor.

Dou Chun also knew what his subordinates were thinking. He opened the map without saying a word, pointed directly at a mansion, and said indifferently: "This was originally the mansion of the eldest princess of Fengyang. After the eldest princess left, there was no one to live in. You sent A few people go and have a look, if it is suitable, there is no need to spend more effort to rebuild a mansion."

Zongzheng Siqing and the Minister of Rites looked at each other, and they thought about it. After they retreated, Zhuo Jingfan came out from the inner room, "I'm afraid Dou Qi will make trouble again after she finds out."

"Let her make trouble, the more violent she is, the easier it is to show her flaws." Dou Chun waved his hand, picked up another memorial, and continued: "In the past, she pretended to be virtuous and gentle, but she never thought she was just being scratched by Su Cainu. Once, she scratched a little anxious and arrogant, and I don't know if this is her true temperament."

"It's hard to say, although I saw her domineering and domineering at the fourth princess that day, but her eyes were very deep, maybe the frivolity of that day was intentionally for others to see." Zhuo Jingfan paced back and forth. Walking to the soft couch, he lifted up his clothes and sat down.

"Have you talked to Sister Wan?" Dou Chun approved another memorial, then raised his head and asked.

"Well, Sister Wan is smart. After hearing this, the worry on her face disappeared a lot. I can see that she still has questions, but she is very knowledgeable, so she didn't ask anyone else." Zhuo Jingfan nodded. , There is no lack of admiration and satisfaction for the four princesses in the tone.

"That's good. Fu Jue is talented. I will definitely use him in the future, but I can't let him be tied to the Fu family. I can't put my importance on the surface. I have wronged him so much. If I If you point him to a careless daughter-in-law, I'm afraid he won't be willing to use it for me." Dou Chun sighed and said helplessly.

"The fourth princess is the best candidate. After all, her identity and status depend on you, and you have an inseparable blood relationship with her. You are not afraid of being teased and betraying you in the future. With her in Fu Jue I'm not afraid that Fu Jue will have two minds in the future." Zhuo Jingfan leaned on the pillow and murmured.

Dou Chun didn't make a sound after hearing this, he and Zhuo Jingfan had discussed this before, but no matter how well they planned, they were afraid that "people's hearts are unpredictable", but now there is no other better candidate, Fu Jue is bound to As for Princess Shang, among the four princesses, it seems that only the fourth princess is worthy of great use. ...

The conversation between Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun was unknown to the third princess. Ever since she got the imperial decree to bestow marriage, she had acted resentful and kept losing her temper all day long, tossing all the palace people miserably Therefore, after nightfall, when she waved away all the palace servants who were waiting beside her, those palace servants didn't say a word, and they all wished to stay away from her.And after the palace people retreated, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, the resentment and anger from these days had long since disappeared on her face, only calmness and composure remained.

Because the palace servants took her life, they didn't dare to go near the dormitory, so the third princess went out from the window of the dormitory smoothly. The third princess was wearing a black cloak, and under the cover of night, she walked slowly towards Fengyang The side door on the west side of the pavilion.

When she came near the side door, the little inner prisoner guarding the door had long since disappeared. The third princess knew that she had been transferred, so she went out of the side door with confidence and went to the side path.Fengyang Pavilion and Linhu Hall are very close. The third princess arrived at Linhu Hall very quickly. There were no guards patrolling along the way. This is naturally because someone changed the route of the guards, just to let the third princess touch the lake smoothly. Go to Linhu Hall.

As soon as she entered the Linhu Palace, the third princess saw the person who sent her the message. She quickly stepped forward, walked to the side of the person, and squatted down with a blessing, "I have met the general, and the general is blessed." The person turned around. Come, the faint moonlight shone on that person's face, and it was the general of the Yulin Army——Mu Xuan.

"Princess, you are polite." Mu Xuan said lightly, but did not avoid the ceremony of the third princess. After the third princess got up, she secretly looked at the other party's expression, with a look in her eyes that she didn't even notice. Mu Xuan saw her His eyes shrank slightly, and the face of the three princesses in front of him seemed to overlap with the face in memory again.

"General, the sage has already pointed out the marriage, and pointed me to Mr. Erlang, the servant of the official department." Seeing Mu Xuan's cold expression, the third princess felt a little sour in her heart, but she hurriedly said the business.

"I know." Mu Xuan said lightly. As the commander of the imperial army, how could any news from the palace escape his ears. The holy man's imperial decree arrived at Fengyang Pavilion before he knew it.

"What should I do? I thought the sage would point me out to the Fu family, but the sage pointed out Dou Wan. If I can't get on with the Fu family, will it ruin the general's business?" Panicked, he asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the servant of the official department is not a problem. I won't say more, but you will know in the future." Seeing the nervous look of the third princess, Mu Xuan eased his tone and said in a gentle voice.

"One more thing. Last time I took the opportunity to explore the reality of Guanling Pavilion. I didn't see Baiji, but I saw Su Cainv." The third princess frowned and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, no matter whether Baiji is in Guanling Pavilion or not, Li Jieyu is always there, as long as you hold Li Jieyu." Mu Xuan waved his hand and said indifferently.When the third princess heard this, she felt a little confused. It was actually her own idea to visit Guanling Pavilion that day. She thought she could make meritorious service, but it not only hurt herself, but now she realized that Mu Xuan didn't care about Baiji at all.

The two talked for a while, and Mu Xuan asked the third princess to go back. After the third princess left, Mu Xuan stayed in the Linhu Palace, staring blankly at the pavilion where he saw Mu Cairen for the first time. , as if I can still see the figure dancing in the moonlight. ...

The contact between the third princess and Mu Xuan was quickly sent to Zhuo Jingfan's case. After Zhuo Jingfan saw it, he immediately reported it to Dou Chun. Regarding the contact between the third princess and Mu Xuan, Zhuo Jingfan had long thought There are a few, but Dou Chun didn't think of it before, so he seemed a little surprised.

"It seems that the third princess may know her own background." Zhuo Jingfan said after deliberating for a while.

"What is the identity of this Mu Xuan? There is no reason why the third princess would rather give up her identity as the eldest princess and stand by his side? If the third princess's life experience is exposed, the only way to wait for her end is death." Dou Chun wrinkled Frowning, tapping the desk with his fingers, he said in a puzzled manner.

Dou Chun's words made Zhuo Jingfan stunned, yes, the third princess is a princess, but she is still so close to Mu Xuan, the third princess should know, if she is not the child of the late emperor If someone found out, she couldn't please her at all, so how could she get together with Mu Xuan?Unless Mu Xuan's status is unusual, the third princess would rather give up her status as the eldest princess and conspire with Mu Xuan for great things.

"In that case, it is urgent to find out who Mu Xuan is." Zhuo Jingfan said in a deep voice, Dou Chun nodded, and immediately summoned Lu Fu and Youfu to give a few words of advice. ...

******

After King Qin was beheaded, the morale of the rebel army was very low for a while, but He Zheng and Fu Jue went all out and led the troops to continue to kill where King Chu and King Huai were.

King Chu and King Huai were actually a little happy because King Qin died in battle, but soon they found that King Qin's death was a big blow to the rebels. After all, it was King Qin who stood up and called for " Therefore, for the rebels, the prestige and reputation of King Qin is higher than that of King Chu, not to mention King Huai who joined in halfway.

Moreover, compared to King Chu and King Huai, King Qin was quite accomplished in the formation of troops, which forced He Zheng to retreat continuously. Now that King Qin was gone, King Chu and King Huai were no better than King Qin, and lost several battles in succession.The rebels also noticed that the two great kings on top were of no use, so some generals turned against each other and wanted to kill the two kings of Chu and Huai so that they could replace them.

Anyway, they have already been branded as "rebels and rebels". Even if they surrender, they may not get any good. It is better to fight, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.Several generals were secretly plotting to assassinate King Chu and King Huai, but before they knew it, He Zheng and Fu Jue had already killed them not far from the camp.

On this day, the rebellious generals made an excuse to discuss the military situation with King Chu and King Huai. King Chu and King Huai did not suspect him, and led the generals into the prince's camp. There was a sound of fighting, and the soldiers guarding outside rushed in immediately, only to see that King Chu and two generals were already dead, and King Huai was also stabbed several times, and was being supported by his own soldiers.

The generals had long expected that the two kings of Chu and Huai would have their own soldiers to protect them, so they planned to make a quick decision and kill each other by surprise. They did not expect that the people around King Huai were so capable. Kill two of them.

Now that their deeds have been exposed, they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Duke Huai again, but at this time the soldiers outside had realized that something was wrong, so they hurried in to protect Duke Huai. These generals were quickly subdued, and Huai Wang didn't want another trial, so he ordered someone to execute him immediately.

This assassination ended soon, but for the rebels, it was a thorn in their hearts. The other generals began to think in their hearts. In the past, they would not dare to have such a rebellious idea, but Now someone in front of him not only thought about it, but also did it, and even successfully killed a prince. This was a big shock to everyone.Even people who had no thoughts in the past can't help but start to have other thoughts in their hearts.

Duke Huai knew that the death of the two kings of Qin and Chu would definitely shake the morale of the army, and those few bold generals dared to assassinate the prince, there was no guarantee that other people would not have thoughts in their hearts, so Duke Huai sent many soldiers to follow him, fearing that other Those who have turned against him want to put him to death.

Just when King Huai was assassinated and caught off guard, the army of He Zheng and Fu Jue arrived. The rebel army was at a time when the hearts of the rebels were distracted because of the death of King Chu and the generals. Therefore, the army of He Zheng and Fu Jue The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and most of the rebels were killed in one fell swoop.Seeing this, Duke Huai's personal soldiers hurriedly protected Duke Huai and retreated in embarrassment.After King Huai retreated, He Zheng and Fu Jue counted the number of casualties on both sides. At this time, the general of the Jinwu Guard came to report and found the dead body of King Chu.

The spirits of He Zheng and Fu Jue suddenly lifted. The two kings of Qin and Chu were gone, and now only King Huai was left. It seemed that the complete annihilation of the rebels was just around the corner. Don't have to bear the reputation of "anti-thief" anymore.

Fu Jue's thoughts also drifted away, remembering the words that the sage called him to the study and had a secret conversation with him before the expedition, he looked down at the palm of his hand, then slowly clenched his fist, as if he wanted to hold something , a look of determination flashed across his face.He has always kept in mind the suppression the Fu family has suffered over the years. If he wants to revive the Fu family, he must act according to the will of a saint. As the eldest grandson of the Fu family, he will be responsible for the Fu family in the future. He vows to shine The lintel, let the Fu family reappear its glory! ...

After the news of King Chu's death spread back to the capital, everyone in the government and the public rejoiced. The two kings of Qin and Chu had already been killed, so the rebels had nothing to fear. There are not many people who are in the same position, and many officials in the court thought that Duke Huai fled in fear of crime because of the assassination of the crown prince.After all, at that time, the first emperor directly placed the charge of assassinating the prince on Duke Huai's head, and everyone saw that the Yulin army surrounded Duke Huai's mansion, and Duke Huai did not show up for a long time, which further confirmed the guesses in everyone's mind. and ideas.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Fu Jue sent back the news that Dou Ze, King Huai, had been captured alive. Dou Chun had someone read the victory report in the early court, and all the officials were in an uproar. Only then did they know that King Huai had also become a traitor. military.The next day, many courtiers wrote a letter stating that Prince Huai's son and the county master were the remnants of the rebel army and should not stay in the palace, and that the crimes committed by King Huai were enough to punish the nine clans, so the prince and county master should be deprived of their titles and titles.

Dou Chun didn't express his position immediately, but kept these memorials. Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong, who were left in the palace by Dou Chun, after hearing that King Huai had been arrested, one knelt down in front of the Ganlu Palace to plead guilty, and the other knelt down in front of the Standing Hall. Pleading guilty in front of the government hall, the two knelt down and begged the saint to lower their punishment.

Zhuo Jingfan in the Lizheng Hall heard about it, so he let Fu Ling and Hu Po forcefully pull Dou Zhirong up, and brought him into the Lizheng Hall, and in front of the Ganlu Hall, he was blessed to worry, so Zhuo Jingfan let go in spite of.

After Princess Huai's funeral that day, Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong were recalled to the palace again, and they stayed there. These days, Dou Zhirong has been staying in the side hall of the Lizheng Hall, lightly refraining from showing up in front of people, and only chant for Princess Huai day and night. After praying.Dou Zhirong didn't know where her future was. The He family in the Northwest had rebelled. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she couldn't help but believe what everyone said.

After the sage sent Fu Jue to quell the chaos, Dou Zhirong was terrified every time she got a good news. Even though she knew she shouldn't, she still felt sad for the He family's army. A victory for Fu Jue meant the death of the He family's army.Just when she was exhausted, news came back that King Huai was captured alive by Fu Jue. When Dou Zhirong heard about it, she passed away on the spot. Her mother tried her best to keep Prince Huai's mansion and elder brother, but her father easily captured King Huai. Yimai is roasting on the fire, and now he even wants to let their brother and sister die.

After Dou Zhirong woke up, she hurried to the main hall of the Lizheng Hall to apologize to Mr. Lang. As a lady, she could not freely enter and leave the harem. Even if she wanted to kneel before the saint to plead guilty, she would not be able to see the saint if the saint did not summon her, so She had no choice but to kneel in front of Lang Jun, expressing the sincerity and loyalty of Prince Huai's residence.
