The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

Thanks to the postponement of the Northern Expedition, after a few years, I saw a heavy snowfall in Beijing.

For me, a northerner, the snow in Nanjing is at best a low-temperature drizzle.The snowflakes fell on the palm of my hand, but I couldn't see the shape, and it turned into a puddle of water.At night, I heard the snow patter on the window, and when I got up the next morning, the ground was only a little white.

I built a snowman with Heidan, had a snowball fight, and said silly things like "grow old together".

Heidan drew several pictures of playing in the snow and sent them back to Jinling: "The third child and the fifth are so hungry." Both Zhu Laosan and Zhu Xiaowu have not been to Beijing yet.

On the way of the northern tour, I did not forget to write a letter to the princess, to say hello, and to report on our life by the way.

Among them, I avoided the matter of Miaoqiong, and Heidan wrote a letter to report it.At that time, the swords and swords were actually used at the banquet. It is inconvenient to say in the letter, but only that the accompanying maid Wu Shi was favored by the King of Han and wanted to leave.The princess replied only saying "according to the etiquette".

I have always had a sense of distance from the princess. It is not so much a family, but more like a teacher and a student, a boss and a subordinate.I don't know if it's like this for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law all over the world, or because I am in the royal family and my mother-in-law is the hostess of the East Palace.

Now distance creates beauty. When I read the letter, the image of the princess in my mind is much softer, more like a mother.I'm also afraid that we don't know how to add clothes in time, and I'm afraid that we won't be restrained and used to be extravagant, and I'm afraid that Heidan will be lazy in my studies, and I'm afraid that Heidan will work too hard.

Heidan read the letter and said with a smile: "It's really 'mother worrying about traveling thousands of miles'. With so many palace servants waiting on you, can you still freeze?"

In February, Zhu Di led an army of 50, and the imperial driver conquered Wala in person.The king of Han and the grandson of the emperor accompanied him to the expedition, and there were also generals such as Anding Hou Liusheng.

Heidan was originally afraid of mistakes, so he wanted to keep me in Beijing. I said: "If there is a 'missing', what use is it for me to stay in Beijing?" Even if history changes and 50 people are defeated, I will not be able to stay in Beijing for a few more days. I can hide for a while, but I can't hide from Wala I.

I originally thought that the army would officially start fighting soon, but unexpectedly, after marching for more than three months, I only picked up some stragglers along the way, and did not encounter the main force of Oala.

Because there were no enemy soldiers nearby, Hei Bintian and I ran for a while not far from the camp, and sat outside the camp at night to watch the stars together.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is like washing.In the vast universe, the vast time and space, we are two tiny people on a tiny planet.

I sighed: "It's May again in a blink of an eye. A year flies by so fast. At this time last year, I was still learning how to ride a horse in Beijing."

Heidan said: "Counting carefully, it has been four years since you entered the palace. I always feel that the first meeting is still in front of my eyes. If I knew we were so good, I would have known that four years passed so quickly. You were sensible when you were young, so I urged my concubine to pick you up."

"Fool." I laughed happily.

The night fog shrouded the camp, and the sparse bushes in the distance turned into black shadows, and the moonlight danced faintly on the branches, outlining a faint silver edge.

The backs of the horses looked smooth and healthy under the moonlight. The two horses leaned on each other, shaking their heads from time to time, their bright eyes fluttering, and their tails sweeping back and forth docilely, so as not to disturb the dewdrops on the grass. gentle.

Looking back in Heidan's firm arms, the flag of Ming Dynasty behind him was resounding fiercely in the evening wind.The officers and soldiers guarding the camp stood upright, their iron helmets drawing a shiny arc under the firelight.

This is a rich and powerful Ming Dynasty.Nowhere is disadvantageous, and everything is invincible.

I am its subject hundreds of years later, and I am proud of it at this moment.

"I feel very lucky to be born as a citizen of Ming Dynasty," I said, "I'm not flattering your family."

Heidan lowered his voice and said, "I will also be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people in the future. Let you be proud of me and Ming Dynasty." (After all, the current emperor is still alive, so you should be careful when saying this.)

Speaking of this, he frowned and said: "I hope that the emperor's grandfather will completely flatten Wala in this wave, at least so that they will never dare to attack the side again. But this time it is also evil. After marching for so long, even the shadow of the main force is gone." I haven't seen it. Although I don't say it in front of Grandpa Huang, I feel a little uncertain."

"Wala's arrogance depends on the cavalry. Although our Daming's cavalry may not be able to compete with them, we have firearms. In addition, His Majesty's use of troops is superb. I think you just learn from him with your heart, and you don't have to be unsure."

"Grandpa Huang is really good at fighting, and he really loves fighting." Heidan sighed with a smile: "When he puts on the Wubian uniform, he is more majestic than wearing the crown uniform, and he looks more than ten years younger. It's really 'majestic and heroic', and 'the ashes disappear while talking and laughing'. Inferences like this, it can be seen that the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are more aging than Wala."

The emperor seems to be interested in fighting... I suddenly thought of a question, so I asked him: "If you were not born in the royal family, what would you want to do?"

Heidan looked up at the moon and said with a smile: "In the south of the Yangtze River, when I was a painter, I ran into your family when I went to Mount Tai in Shandong, and asked you to be my daughter-in-law. Then I played chess, calligraphy and painting every day, gave birth to a few children, and took them to read books and fight crickets. "

"Well, that's good."

The army continued to march northward and walked for another month. On the third day of June, Liu Jiang, the left governor who was playing the vanguard, finally encountered the Oala army at the Yinma River.

Liu Jiang led his army to charge, and the enemy was defeated at the touch of a touch, and fled eastward.The Liu Jiang Department went straight to the Kanghari Sea, almost wiped out the enemy army, and captured prisoners.The good news came back, the morale of the army was high, all the soldiers were eager to fight, and they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the leader of Wala Mahamu alive.

Even Heidan is eager to try, thinking of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself.

However, although the warmonger Zhu Di rewarded Liu Jiang's soldiers, he was not as excited as everyone else, and instead stayed behind.

"All the captives have said that the Oala army is stationed a hundred miles away in Hulan, where the temperature is suddenly low, and the defense is lax. It's enough to catch them by surprise. It's been two days, why is the emperor still not moving?"

Heidan had been fidgeting for several nights, and finally calmed down and hugged me to read Tang poems, but he turned to Lu Lun's "Song of the Next Song": Moon black geese fly high, Shan Yuye escapes.If you want to chase Qingqi away, the bow and knife will be covered with heavy snow.

A poem aroused the restless heart of the hot-blooded man again, and he couldn't help complaining.

I put down the book and asked him, "Do you remember the first time you taught me how to ride a horse and you rushed out of the alley to scare me?"

Heidan said: "Why did you mention this suddenly? I naturally remember."

"Why didn't I notice you at that time, but you knew immediately when Fan Hong took me to the predetermined place?"

"One is that the two of you are talking, and the other is that I have been waiting for you there, so naturally I can notice any disturbance."

I asked him again: "The Ming army is like me at that time, and you at that time are like Wala now. We have walked in the desert for three full months with 50 people. Does Mahamu know where we are? Where will we be?" As the prisoner said, in Hulan, which is only a hundred miles away, the temperature is suddenly lost, and the defense is still "relaxed"?"

Heidan was stunned by what I said, and then he recovered and said: "Sure enough, quick success and quick gain are not important."

On the second day, Heidan discussed the strategy with civil and military officials for a whole day in the emperor's tent, and I was restless with Lu Jieyu all day long.In the afternoon, when Lu Jieyu saw that my complexion was really bad and she kept distracted, she asked me if I was having trouble with my grandson.I said no, it's just not very comfortable, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so it doesn't matter.Lu Jieyu then sent me back to my room to rest.

After finally waiting for Heidan to come back at night, he just entered the tent without changing his clothes, so he said, "Tomorrow's general attack will be a decisive battle."

Seeing that he looked a bit hesitant, I asked him: "Why, if you have anything else to say, let's just say it."

"I want to go to the battlefield myself," Heidan said, "Grandpa Huang has already agreed."
