Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

It is said that She Chongming's rebellion no longer has such a great momentum in history.First of all, his sister-in-law Panlong and his general Liu Tong failed to get the historical military parade held to reinforce Liaodong.

Chongqing is a mountain city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Panlong failed to occupy Chongqing. Even if She Chongming built the "Daliang" country, established five ministries, and had a considerable number of officials as in history, in the eyes of the members of the capital's cabinet, That's a false pretense with grandeur but no reality.

It's not as strong as the shock that the "Great Jin" country brought to the court when Jiannu was born.This "big beam" is just a group of deranged lunatics who take advantage of the chaos to add fuel to the flames.

Why do you say that extravagant Chongming?

The emperor suddenly led the western expedition a few years ago, which seemed to convey to the outside world a sign that the military situation in the Northwest was urgent; and the emperor's delay in the northwest was longer than that in Liaodong. Didn't he lose his mind and go crazy after losing the same defeat as a civil castle?

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had earthquakes in more than [-] prefectures and counties in three provinces at the beginning of February, so it was assumed that the Ming court was in trouble and unable to look south?

Didn't you know that since the imperial court established the disaster relief fund for emergency situations, those soldiers under the age of 40 who were eliminated from the forbidden army have been incorporated into the new emergency relief team.

Even if the emperor is not in the capital and cannot immediately know and deal with such things as the earth dragon turning over, as long as there is money, what about the catastrophe?After the six ministries discussed with the cabinet, disaster relief and disaster relief have already been done in an orderly and orderly manner.

Afterwards, the cabinet only sent the emperor a three-hundred-mile urgent earthquake relief response report, and a month later sent a report on the results of the local government's disaster relief to the emperor who was about to return.

With the authorization of the emperor, all ministers can do everything with confidence and ease.

So Zuo Buzheng Zhu Xieyuan rushed to report the Sichuan rebellion to the capital with [-] li. The first thing that the Ministry of War and the cabinet had to consider was whether they should tell the emperor about it immediately.

Fang Congzhe had always been a hesitant person who refused to make up his mind. Seeing that everyone was looking at him at this time, he immediately made up his mind.

"You don't need to let the emperor know about this matter. It is the best policy for the emperor to return to the capital smoothly and safely. Both Chongqing and Chengdu are safe. When the emperor arrives in Beijing, whether it is to send the imperial army to the south or transfer the white soldiers back to Sichuan You can easily put down the rebellion."

Cui Jingrong saw that the chief minister of the cabinet had made up his mind. According to the emperor's itinerary, he should have passed Datong Mansion by now, and he would be able to reach the capital in a few days.But it's not good to just hide it from the emperor?But Liu Yixiu, Han Yu, and Ye Xianggao didn't object. He felt that he didn't need to fight with the cabinet ministers.The most important thing is that he can't win a battle against the four cabinet ministers.

So he tentatively suggested: "In my opinion, the battle in Liaodong is basically over. With the tens of thousands of forbidden troops and the soldiers of Liaodong, it's almost over. For the rebellion in Sichuan, it's better for the white soldiers to return to Sichuan.

Because General Qin is familiar with Sichuan, and the Baigan soldiers are also from Sichuan, and they are used to the water and soil in the south. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, and the imperial guards from the north are transferred to fight in the south, they may not be able to adapt to the heat and humidity of Sichuan. "

For Cui Jingrong's proposal, the cabinet unanimously agreed.But the transfer of the white-armed soldiers back to Sichuan must be reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

When Duke Ying and Duke Ding learned about She Chongming's rebellion, their eyes widened in surprise.Marquis Taining, who had just been reincarnated in the capital, had the right to speak in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion by virtue of his achievements in Liaodong.

He unabashedly said to the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo: "The 'Dajin' who built the slaves was just about to be wiped out by the court. Why is there another 'big beam' of the Yi people? This is an urgent need to exterminate the clan." , rushing to be with Jiannu as companions?"

Marquis Taining's words sounded a bit harsh, but after thinking about it, that's what happened.The princes of the two countries brought more than 2 forbidden troops, tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, and more than 1 white soldiers. They built slaves in Liaodong horizontally and vertically, trying not to miss a small tribe.Even those who fled to North Korea sent Mao Wenlong to chase them with thousands of people.

Isn't that just rushing to exterminate the genocide?

Tai Ning Hou returned to the capital this time, and there is another important matter to ask the emperor to get an idea before he can act.It was after North Korea lost to Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty, it could not bear the pressure of Jiannu and became a vassal of the "Dajin" country.Marquis Taining has his own petty mind on how to deal with this dependent country's betrayal of the suzerain country.I want to communicate with the emperor in private first, so as not to be manipulated by those civil servants with great principles.

Regardless of what the Duke of England said about Tai Ning Hou, what the cabinet and Cui Jingrong thought, Fang Congzhe dared to hide such a big matter from the emperor, which made him very upset.But the cabinet and the Ministry of War jointly made a decision, and they have this right.Although the emperor had left Datong and was returning to Beijing, he didn't need to secretly send someone to tell the emperor, but he didn't do anything himself, and he seemed to be sorry for the emperor's posthumous edict.

So after he returned home, he went to his daughter's yard with his wife.He kicked out all the waiters, and whispered to his daughter about it in front of his wife.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan understood what his father meant, nodded and said to the Duke of England, "Father, I want to go to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense tomorrow, so why don't you ask my third brother to accompany me?"

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Tanzhe Temple with your mother to offer incense, and I will let your third brother lead a full staff. Don't cause trouble on the way, but there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Father, don't worry, my daughter will make proper arrangements."

The emperor left a message when he left Beijing, saying that the will of the empress would be sent to the British government after the spring and before the palace examination, and the wedding date would be set after he returned to Beijing. Naturally, the cabinet had no objection to this arrangement.The Ministry of Industry, after completing the major event of the Second Emperor's Mausoleum last year, began to tidy up the Wenhua Palace and Kunning Palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year.The Kunning Palace is for the empress, and the Wenhua Palace will be used by courts and courts after it is cleaned up, and it will be included in the scope of the Inner Palace after the Qianqing Palace.

The Duke of England is naturally happy for his daughter to take advantage of the time before entering the palace to relax and enjoy a few more days.But when he told his daughter about such a thing, he wanted to see her reaction.Seeing that her daughter immediately took countermeasures, she was happy and only confessed to her wife to talk to her in the evening, then went to the study in the front yard and called the third son over to give him instructions.

"Your mother and younger sister are going to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense. You will bring more people tomorrow to protect your mother and younger sister."

Zhang Zhifeng looked at his father suspiciously, "My younger sister's skill is not much worse than my son's. When she goes out with her mother, how can she use her son to lead someone to protect her? Besides, in the capital, who dares to fight against the British government?" ?”

"Where do you talk so much. If you are told to go, go."

The British man has never been as patient with his son as he is with his daughter or grandson.

"Your mother went to pilgrimage, shouldn't you serve? Today is not what it used to be, your sister is not easy to show her face, and some things can only be done by her. All right, remember to listen to your sister tomorrow."

"Okay. Father, remember to send someone to the imperial army to say hello to his son and ask for leave."

Faced with the pressure of his father's change of face, Zhang Zhifeng had no choice but to obey his father's orders.My father was the oldest in the house, and I had to listen to my father, my mother, and my elder brother, and my second brother was also of higher rank than me, so I had to listen to him since I was a child...

Now my sister is canonized as queen again...

Forget it, apart from those nephews running around in the mansion, even the little fat man who can't stand up and howl in his own room is more important than his own words. Only for obedience.

The Duke of England personally ordered the butler to prepare for his wife and daughter to go to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense, and the entire Duke's mansion was immediately mobilized to make preparations.The dozen or so ladies in the palace who came to teach the queen about etiquette immediately sent a message to see the Duke of England.

Accompanied by his wife, the British minister went to meet with the guest courtyard of the sixth palace female official.

"My lord, the empress should go to the royal temple if she wants to offer incense. According to the rules, she should also inform the inspector of ceremonies and Gong Zhengsi that she must be accompanied and guarded by the Imperial Forest Army. And—"

The one who came forward to speak was Shangyi Zhao, a female official of the Shangyi Bureau, who was in charge of etiquette and daily life.

The Englishman interrupted her impatiently.

"My daughter hasn't entered the palace yet, and she's not yet a queen. Tomorrow, she will follow the rules of the British government. After she enters the palace, she will follow the rules of your palace."

"But the will behind the book—"

"Okay, I understand. The country's government should take care of it."

The British government ignored the rhetoric of the inner court. As high-ranking female officials in the inner palace, they could write letters to the supervisor of ceremonies, the emperor, and the empress.But now it was getting late, and it was impossible to send a letter into the palace.It wasn't teaching time, the Empress didn't summon them, they sent someone to ask to see the Empress, but they didn't get a reply.

There is no ability to force the British Duke to change his mind, and he can only complain loudly and meanly to each other, saying that which, which empress in the palace used to follow their Shangyi's instructions and act according to the etiquette.These female officials hope that such words can be passed on to the ears of the Duke of England or the empress by the little maids.

But since the British father and daughter have made up their minds, how can they pay attention to them, let alone use this method.

Before dawn on the second day, the British Government House was brightly lit and moved.Seeing that the British government ignored them, those female officials had to pack up early and prepare to go to Tanzhe Temple.

But they didn't expect that they didn't even go out of the yard.

A few stout women guarded the courtyard gate.

"You just stay in the yard and can't leave."

What is this called?

It's not in harmony with the rules for the empress to go to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense, and now she doesn't even bring them with her?

But no matter what they said, the women didn't answer a word, they just kept guarding the door of the hospital.At that point, someone brings food boxes to the gate of the courtyard, and the food boxes will be taken away at the next meal.More than a dozen female officials were put under house arrest in the courtyard where they lived temporarily.

The British government's convoy arrived at Xizhimen before the city gate opened. There were several carriages, the first was the carriage of the British princess, and the servant girls were sitting in the rear of the carriages, followed by the burly guards of No. [-]. .Whether you know people you don't know or not, you stay away from them.The evil aura on those servants and nurses was too heavy.

As soon as he left the gate of the capital, Zhang Zhifeng was summoned to his mother's car.

"Third brother, you take half of the guards to protect your sister well, and follow your sister's orders, go."

Zhang Zhifeng was still in a daze when he saw his younger sister wearing men's clothing and a cloak, afraid that others would not know that she was avoiding other people's eyes, wearing a bamboo hat and a face scarf, with only two eyes showing, coming out of her mother's carriage.The four servant girls behind her were also dressed in the same way as her. As soon as they came out, they untied the war horses tied to the carriage behind them one after another, and got on their horses lightly.

"Third Master, hurry up, our Fourth Master is waiting for you to lead the way." The vigorous Li Chun urged Zhang Zhijian.

If Zhang Zhifeng didn't understand that his father had arranged for his mother and younger sister to offer incense, he would be living in vain.

He clasped his fists to his mother and promised in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, the son will protect my sister well."

"Well, go, be careful on the way, I will wait for you to come back at Tanzhe Temple."

Zhang Zhifeng nodded, and immediately pointed out the most skilled half of the guards.Then Yu Ma went to Zhang Yan and asked, "Sister, where are you going?"

"Datong. Father ordered."

Zhang Zhifeng froze for a moment, is he going to meet the emperor?This is not etiquette!

"Third brother, lead the way ahead. Could it be that you still can't trust your father's arrangement?"

"it is good."

Zhang Zhifeng knew that he had no room to question his sister, so he could only follow orders.No wonder my father arranged for such a servant to be a guard today. It turned out that he wanted to escort my sister to Datong.

These guards can be said to be the most essential part of the Zhang family.Some of them could knock him down with one hand, and even the weakest ones were on par with him.He immediately divided the guards into three groups, with the first ten and the last ten out of thirty, surrounded by his sister and her four female guards, and headed west.
