Respect the little husband [farming]

"The city gate is open!"

Ning Weiliang rode back to Beijing with dozens of cronies on his horse, his iron hoofs trampling on the ground, and he followed Ge Wucheng and Zhang Yujian who were wearing black and gold armor a step behind.

It was the first time for both of them to go to Beijing, and they were a little nervous while holding the reins on the horse, with a sullen face and a dignified look of keeping strangers away.

The people on both sides of the street crowded together and stretched their necks to look at the general on the tall horse. This time, the soldiers from the Southwest came back triumphantly. The capital city, which was deeply affected by the rebellion and turmoil of the rebels, finally eased a bit of popularity.

However, because it is the national mourning period, even if it hits the Lantern Festival, there is no sound of joy. The people can only watch from the sidelines, and dare not throw flowers and purses as usual. The atmosphere looks really dull and dull.

Ge Wucheng quietly looked around in the crowd, did not see Shen Wenxuan, but saw Wang Muze standing in front of the crowd, the two looked at each other and smiled, Ge Wucheng looked back at Zhang Yujian beside him, obviously he saw it too, after three months , to be able to get together again like this is nothing but joy.

When the army walked halfway, a white paper was suddenly thrown from high in the sky, and it fluttered down from the air, from the streets to the end of the alley.

Ning Weiliang frowned, grabbed a rough sheet from the air, and sweat covered his whole body.

What was written on it was exactly the content of the imperial decree when the Holy Majesty summoned Hejin back to the capital, to the effect that the Queen Mother would never die, fearing that the Ning family and the Mu family would join forces to threaten the throne, so she called He Jin back to Beijing to frighten all parties and help the new emperor ascend the throne .

Shen Wenxuan asked people to delete the part about Ning's family, and spread the content when the people of the capital gathered today. It is estimated that in less than half a day, the whole city will know the news.

Whether others believe it or not, the emperor and Ning Weiliang both know it is true.

Clenching the paper tightly in his hand, it crumpled into a ball in his hand. Ning Weiliang looked at the majestic palace in the distance, feeling suspicious and horrified. There was no part about the Ning family on it, but it brought disaster to the Ning family.

On the back of the paper is a bloody red lotus, who is this?What do you want to do?

After reading the content on the paper, Zhang Jianjian turned his head to look at Ge Wucheng, feeling uncomfortable. If what was written on it was true, then based on the above time, He Jin would not have returned to Beijing privately, let alone rebelled. .

Wang Muze pursed his lips and smiled, and quietly made a few gestures below, telling them to play by ear, and then disappeared in the crowd.

Seeing that the matter was serious, the patrolling officers and soldiers hurriedly picked up the short sticks they carried around their waists and shouted loudly at the people to kneel down honestly and not to pick up the paper on the ground, otherwise it would be treason.

A line of officers and soldiers rushed to clean up the scattered papers on the whole street, and another line hurriedly went to check the people who had scattered these things. The welcome of the whole city turned into a look of flying dogs and dogs.

Ning Weiliang sighed to stabilize his mind, grasped the reins and rode his horse to lead the people forward, there was no way to avoid it.

At this time in Pixiang Palace, Emperor Chongxin hadn't heard the news yet, so he fell on his back in the fragrance of beauty and found some peace, but the gully between his eyebrows and half black and half white hair still showed that he was not as good as before.

Ning Pinyu rested her slender fingers on both sides of his forehead, gently massaging his temples, and moved her fingers down to find the acupuncture points to massage his shoulders, which was very comfortable.

Emperor Chongxin sighed: "When did you learn this skill? I have never seen you use it before."

"I just went to learn it for the emperor. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is very tired. The concubine couldn't bear it, so she went to learn it." Ning Concubine said, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, matching the cold beauty's smile. The skin, there is a kind of heart-stopping feeling of a flower growing in a bitter cold place.

"You girl," Emperor Chongxin raised his hand and patted her on the side of the face, "You have not treated me well after entering the palace for more than half a year, but now you are very courteous."

Concubine Ning patted his hand away and looked at him with amusing eyes: "The concubine only realized it after being instructed by the queen mother. This palace cannibalizes people without spit out bones. Even if the concubine is protected by the queen mother, there is no guarantee that the concubine will be able to eat." The rest of my life will be happy and worry-free, only the emperor can give my concubines a peaceful life, and my concubines will accept it."

"But the emperor must remember clearly that the concubine will only accept this once. If the emperor doesn't appreciate it, the concubine will not post it again." Concubine Ning moved her hand to her shoulder and rubbed her arm, using some strength to show her It's not a lie.

Emperor Chongxin laughed, feeling distressed in his heart: "It's nonsense, if I really have supernatural powers, how can I not be able to protect the fourth child? There are so many ghosts and ghosts in this palace, maybe one day I will be swallowed up."

Having said that, he still felt a little pain in his heart, he knew that this girl was so strong, and she never cried and begged for mercy when she was injured, saying that these were probably a shadow of the turmoil in the past few days.

"These courtiers and concubines don't care, the emperor is the son of heaven, it's up to the emperor whether he wants to protect him or not." Concubine Ning said, raising her eyebrows inadvertently, charming and confusing people's hearts.

Emperor Chongxin's heart skipped a beat, even looking at the young skin made people relax physically and mentally. Emperor Chongxin stared at it for a long time, then suddenly said: "Now... I'm thinking about it a little bit."

Concubine Ning paused slightly with her fingers, not showing it on her face, but she couldn't help but sneered in her heart, the family of emperors and generals doesn't even care about blood relatives, how could they care about their children's personal feelings.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xiao Cui, the maid next to Concubine Ning, leaned over and called out, holding a tray in her hand, on which was freshly cooked tonic soup in the small kitchen.

Concubine Ning took it and put it on the small table, raised her hand to serve a bowl to Emperor Chongxin.

This soup has a faint medicinal smell, it is a medicinal diet, the recipe has been seen by the head of the Supreme Hospital, it nourishes qi and blood, it is a very common introduction, Emperor Chongxin got up from her, took it and drank it at ease.

"Every time I come to your palace, I can eat medicinal food that tastes different from other places. Wan'er is troublesome." Emperor Chongxin patted her hand and praised. After eating the tonic soup or the pastry with ginseng flavor, I feel a burst of energy in my heart, and I feel a lot more energetic in an instant.

"How can there be any taste that is different, the difference is just that the people who make it are different," Ning Concubine said, with some memories in his eyes, "The concubine often learns to make these before entering the palace, in order to be loved by others all the year round. His father, who was suffering from old illnesses, is now the emperor's good fortune, and the concubines make these special medicinal meals, which even ordinary imperial cooks would praise."

"It's just a pity, the concubine wants to cook every day, but I don't know if someone has the heart to eat every day."

With a soft look in the cold, Emperor Chongxin secretly praised her cuteness, couldn't help but raised his hand to pinch her cheek, and said with a smile: "I will have dinner at Pixiang Palace tonight, okay?"

Concubine Ning patted his hand away: "The emperor can come whenever he wants, it doesn't matter whether the courtiers or concubines are good or not."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

The two chatted happily in the hall, but they were so worried that Jinzhong stood outside the door with an anxious face. He held the piece of paper with red lotus in his hand, walked back and forth anxiously outside the door, and waited for everyone to come. The emperor didn't come out for a while, glanced at the sun, it was getting late, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and knocked on the door of the palace bravely:

"Your Majesty, the generals are coming soon, and the ministers are waiting in the imperial study, why don't we pack up?"

It was quiet inside for a while, Jinzhong hesitated whether to knock again, the door suddenly opened, Emperor Chongxin came out with his hands behind his back, glared at him, raised his foot and walked in front of him.

Jin Zhong gave a wry smile to Blessing Ning who was inside, then turned around and hurried to catch up.

Ning Siwan stood at the entrance of the palace and watched the emperor go away. When he left the palace gate, she turned and walked into the palace to pick up the cup of tonic soup on the small table. After a long time, the soup was already cold.

As usual, Ning Siwan poured the remaining soup into the pot of plum blossoms by the window bit by bit. The plum blossoms bloomed in full bloom, as if they had absorbed the nutrients in the soup. They were too gorgeous, but Ning Siwan looked up With a light fold of the hand, like breaking a dead branch, a plum blossom was easily broken off.

Although the flowers are flourishing, the branches are dead.

"The medicine given by that imperial doctor Zhao is really useful." Ning Siwan said to herself, playing with a flower branch in her hand, but her thoughts returned to a few days ago.

"Be a favorite concubine and kill the emperor." Jiao Shihan whispered in her ear, and she agreed.

As soon as the screen changed, Dr. Zhao was wearing an imperial doctor's uniform, opened the medicine box and handed her a small bottle of elixir:

"I made this bottle of medicine according to my master's prescription. My master was the previous head of the Imperial Hospital. The current head of the hospital's medical skills are far behind him. I can't see it. The empress takes out one pill every day and dissolves it in water. Soak medicinal materials, vegetables and fruits in this water, and the medicinal food made will make people look radiant in a short time, but it will become toxic after a long time of consumption. For example, taking the medicine of tiger and wolf will overdraw the future energy and blood to maintain the current vitality .”

Ning Siwan took the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and when she opened it, there were tiny red pills inside: "If someone accidentally sees these, it's okay to call them tonics, right?"

Doctor Zhao shook his head: "No problem."

His master's unique book is the only one in the world, and no one can find it out except him.To be honest, when Jiaojiao came to him for this matter, he was surprised, but surprise was surprise, he did it anyway.

The emperor is not a wise king, and he doesn't have to be a good minister, not to mention that the lives of the two children, Shen Wenxuan and Jiao Shihan, are under the shadow of the emperor. Let's be a poison doctor for people.

"Doctor Zhao," Ning Siwan put away the small porcelain bottle, and said with a firm heart, "I still want to ask for one more thing."

Dr. Zhao was puzzled: "I don't know what the empress wants?"

"Avoid soup."

Jin Zhong trotted to keep up, handed over the paper in his hand, and hurriedly said as he followed: "Your Majesty, just as the generals entered the city gate today, some people took advantage of the crowds to throw these things indiscriminately. Some people are trying to confuse the public with false rumors, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongxin took it over impatiently, his expression changed just after taking a look, and he was stunned in place, feeling a turmoil in his heart:

"This, who passed this on? Who is so bold?!"

His face was livid, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his angry face was frightening.

Jin Zhong was terrified, and immediately fell to his knees on the ground and said: "Slave, I don't know, the patrol battalion has already gone to investigate, please be safe and calm, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongxin only felt a little cold on his back, and staring at the bloody red lotus on the back of the paper, he remembered the bloody incident back then, and was so angry that he tore the paper in his hand to pieces:

"Trash! What are the patrol battalion and Jing Zhaoyin's soldiers for! This kind of thing can be spread! Check, let me check! If they can't find it, let them come to me with their heads!"

"Yes."

After a long while, Jin Zhong looked up cautiously, and seeing that Emperor Chongxin had left early, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the imperial study room, Prime Minister He, several ministers, and four generals Ning Weiliang, Ning Jian, Ge Wucheng, and Zhang Yujian had all arrived, and there was an extra King Jing who was watching the excitement. They bowed when they saw Emperor Chongxin come in. road:

"See Your Majesty."

"Pingshen." Emperor Chongxin sat down on the upper chair with a gloomy face, his eyes slid over one by one, and he paused meaningfully on the faces of Ning Weiliang and Prime Minister He, and said, "Who loves to talk about Southwest first?" thing."

Ning Weiliang took a step forward, bowed and said, "My Majesty, the Qiang thieves in the five southwest states have been wiped out, 5000 people have been captured, and the border line has been pushed to twenty miles within the Qiang country. In addition, the southwest border army has colluded with the enemy. According to the signs, 3000 people have been captured, waiting for the Holy Majesty to send them."

"The frontier army...collaborating with the enemy?" Emperor Chongxin glanced at Prime Minister He who was at the side, and snorted, "What is the origin of these three thousand frontier troops?"

Ning Wei and Liang Yuguang glanced secretly at Prime Minister He, and replied: "Most of them are Chi Ji's soldiers, and the rest... come from the dismantled He family army."

"Prime Minister," Emperor Chongxin gritted his teeth, "Just now I heard the rumors spread by the city gate, and now I hear that members of the former He family army are involved in the rebellion, how do you feel?"

Prime Minister He didn't change his face, and cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, this matter must be severely punished. The turmoil in the capital has just subsided, and now someone is trying to stir up the chaos in the court, and there is a blood lotus behind the two incidents. It’s big, it’s hidden deep, and its heart can be punished. I also ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly, so as to restore the peace of the capital. As for the border army collaborating with the enemy, just kill them, and return justice to the people of the world, so as to imitate others.”

He spoke frankly, completely avoiding the He family involved in these two incidents, and it really seemed to be completely cut off from He Jin and the He family army.

"Your Majesty, don't doubt Geng'er. Isn't it enough for him to work for the country and the people for more than ten years?" Not happy.

Emperor Chongxin looked at him and forced a smile. This man is the only son of the old prince. In order to repay the kindness of the old prince for saving and helping him, he made this boy King Jing. He has been doting on him for so many years. , Give him this look of not knowing his size.

"I know the prime minister has worked hard, that is to say, there is no distrust." Emperor Chongxin looked at Prime Minister He and smiled, Prime Minister He pursed his lips and remained silent.

Prince Jing curled his lips, grabbed the Prime Minister's arm and pulled him a little closer, obviously wanting to protect him, but Prime Minister He waved the man away and stood further away.

Emperor Chongxin looked at the two faces below: "These two are the generals who protect the Southwest in danger, right?"

"The last general, Ge Wucheng, see the emperor."

"The last general, Zhang Yujian, see the emperor."

Although Shen Wenxuan mentioned his appearance in the letter to the two of them, the two of them were a little surprised when they saw it for the first time. Shen Wenxuan couldn't tell whether it was good luck or bad luck. If he was really a prince, yes It's actually a good thing for both of them.

Emperor Chongxin sized them up a few times, and nodded with satisfaction: "You two look more powerful than I thought. It is a blessing in misfortune that Southwest can get you two good generals in the midst of danger."

Ge Wucheng and Zhang Yujian looked at each other and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Emperor Chongxin laughed, with a savage look in his eyes: "You all come from mud-legged backgrounds, and you have little support in the court, but I am a person who knows people and is good at responsibility, so I will not bury the talents of the two of you. How do Duke Ning feel about enfeoffing Zhang Jianjian as General of Zhennan, and Ge Wu as General of Zhenbei, in charge of military affairs in the north and south?"

coming.

Ning Weiliang clenched his hands, and said after consideration: "The emperor is wise, both of them are born generals, and they will definitely not disgrace the high hopes given by the emperor."

"Oh? A natural general? How about Ning Jian?"

Ning Weiliang: "...more than that."

"Oh," Emperor Chongxin couldn't help laughing, "I believe you when you say that, but your son really needs to be polished, and you can't always have your father behind him to protect him."

The eyes suddenly changed in the next breath: "I remember that Duke Ning accidentally broke his leg a while ago. I heard Concubine Ning say that you are often suffering from other old diseases. I am not an unreasonable person. If it were not for special circumstances , I have already allowed you to disarm and return to the fields, now that the southwest has been settled, does Duke Ning have any idea of ​​staying?"

This is to reduce the military power of the Ning family, and one family with two generals will eventually make the emperor fearful.

Ning Weiliang had expected it, the emperor was very suspicious, and Prime Minister He would come to doubt him after he doubted him, if he didn't agree at this time, not to mention delaying Ning Jian's future, even the concubine Ning and the queen mother in the palace would have a hard time up.

"The general has this intention," Ning Weiliang knelt down, "the general is old and tired of fighting and killing on the battlefield, it is really a blessing for the general to take this opportunity to unload the burden and go to the mansion to recuperate. "

After speaking, he consciously took off the armor on his body and arranged it neatly. Although he was reluctant to give up, he could only hand in the soldier talisman on his body, and he couldn't show anything on the surface.

Emperor Chongxin was satisfied, and asked someone to bring up the soldier talisman in his hand, with a very generous face: "Mr. Ning Guo is also a hero who suppressed the rebellion in the southwest, I can't treat one more favorably than another, and I specially designate you as a general of hussars, and I promise you that you don't have to return to your hometown. Let’s retire in Beijing.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The words are really sweet, but they just want to put the Ning family under their noses so that they can be controlled. Moreover, the Hussar General is just a vain job. Jane has been just a general in the northern border for many years, and has achieved a lot of victories. Why are these two people ahead?

Not only that, but he did not receive any real rewards for pacifying the capital this time.

Ning Jian held back her anger and clenched her fists tightly. She couldn't help being shaken by being a king, and she didn't have such a partiality. Their Ning family fought for Daqing for many years, but in the end they couldn't compare to the two new Maotou generals!

Others are rewarded or awarded for their meritorious deeds, but they are punished when they come to Ning's house.

Ning Weiliang knew that Ning Jian was not convinced, so he secretly took his hand and squeezed it twice to make him bear it. Chi Ji rebelled, and the imperial decree of the year was shaken out again. The emperor obviously wanted to eliminate the forces left behind. Reusing new ministers, their troubles at this time are tantamount to setting themselves on fire.

Ge Wucheng and Zhang Yujian were very happy, they didn't care what other people were thinking, they waited impatiently for the emperor to take out the military talisman.

On the other side, at Zhongcui Palace, Empress He took the paper with the blood lotus printed on it and read it word by word. Can't pull it out from the paper.

"Your Majesty," Tao Hong whispered cautiously in her ear, "There is news from the front that Prime Minister He proposed to kill all the rebellious border troops one by one, as a warning to others."

"Kill them all?" Empress He laughed with a distorted face, the hatred and obsession in her eyes were overflowing, "For the sake of Bao He's family, of course we can only follow the emperor's will to say to kill them all, he wished for me The He family died out more than ten years ago!"

Tao Hong trembled in fright, fell on the ground and dared not speak.

It was a coincidence that this news was posted, and the imprint on the jade wall on it was extremely realistic, which really made people have to think about it. Empress He thought it was true the first time she saw it.

She was short of breath, but from the corner of her eye, she glanced at the white silk hanging in the hall, and she felt more at ease, and said proudly, "The mourning period for the fourth child has not passed yet, right? Li Mian, an old man, never imagined that the fourth child was killed by me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Tao Hong trembled, and waved her hand to let all the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace go down. Although they are all from the palace, they don't know how to talk nonsense, but these words of the empress are really too bold.

"Your Majesty." A man in eunuch uniform stood outside the hall and bowed. When he raised his head, it was that familiar face again - Wen Liancheng.

Empress He restrained the madness on his face when she saw him, calmed down and raised her hand to let him in. Sitting upright on the chair with a dignified look, she asked, "Have you found the Chi family?"

Wen Liancheng knelt down: "Go back to your mother, not yet."

"Then what are you doing here? Useless! I have managed Dali Temple for so long, and it was ruined by you idiots!"

Wen Liancheng didn't dare to refute this, but he did have something important to ask this time: "My lady, the He family army has captured 300 people. I know this is very difficult for my lady. Liancheng doesn't ask for help, but Please do your best to keep a few of them, they are all people who follow the empress and give up everything, if the empress just ignores them, it will chill the hearts of the other soldiers of the He family army."

His eyes were earnest, Empress He was silent for a while, she threw the paper in front of him, and said:

"If there is no such thing, it is okay for me and the prime minister to do some tricks, but now the emperor's mind is very sensitive, and doing it here is tantamount to licking blood with the tip of a knife. You should appreciate the painstaking efforts of this palace, this palace and the prime minister After so many years of planning, it is at the critical moment, if one wrong step is lost, our He family's ten years of hard work will be in vain."

Wen Liancheng glanced at the piece of paper on the ground, every word on it shook his mind, but——

"...Mistress, Liancheng is willing to die, but I can't bear to watch my brothers all go one by one, I beg your empress—"

"That's enough," Empress He turned her head, "How can I bear the heart, the He family army is my father's life-long painstaking effort, I will protect it if I can, but now the situation is different——"

"But a scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated," Wen Liancheng said with anger and blood, "I don't care, don't you want us to watch those three hundred brothers suffer all kinds of torture in prison, and the people who were tortured are not human. Is it a ghost?"

"Wen Liancheng!" The queen warned, staring at him.

Wen Liancheng silenced immediately.

"Although I can't save people, we didn't say anything or do nothing. We can definitely stab the emperor again. Others don't know, but you still don't know? Shen Wenxuan, everyone in the capital knows everyone. The emperor's illegitimate son, a businessman who fled from the southwest to the capital, Bengong is very strange. The person who can face thousands of Qiang troops without losing the wind, and whose wealth can be turned upside down in just one year is really just a businessman? "

"Didn't you realize that everything happened after Shen Wenxuan entered Beijing?" Empress He looked at the blood lotus, stepped on it with the soles of her shoes and rubbed it vigorously, "Maybe he is responsible for the sudden rise of power." What's going on behind the scenes?"

"Thinking about it further, the person who suddenly attacked you that night, as well as the family members of the Chi family who were taken away, plus he was from the southwest, can they all be connected? He hates Chi Ji, and he also hates me. .”

"... Your Majesty." Wen Liancheng frowned. Shen Wenxuan didn't care about Shen Wenxuan. At this time, he was full of brothers who were tortured in prison and had no time to care about him, but being stared at by the queen's eyes, he could only Following her meaning, she said: "...This is just your concubine's conjecture, we have no proof."

"You don't need evidence, just try it out. The fourth child is gone, and the emperor specially invited him to spend the Lantern Festival together. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. If so, it happens that this palace can eradicate a strong enemy. If not, let the emperor personally order him to be killed." Wouldn't it be fun to have another bloodline?"

Empress He suddenly clasped his chin and raised it up, her eyes eager to try: "Let him use the blood of the royal family to commemorate the souls of our dead soldiers. I want to see how decadent the emperor will be when he loses his heirs again and again. I want him to taste it." Do all the suffering that this Palace suffered back then!"

This woman was crazy, Wen Liancheng intuitively felt it for the first time, watching her distorted face without words for a long time.

After today, tomorrow night is the eve of the Lantern Festival.

Shen Mansion, Shen Wenxuanping raised his hands to ask the servants to tidy up his clothes. This time he entered the palace to meet the emperor, so he dressed more solemnly than when he first entered the palace. The look on his face looks extravagant for no reason.

Standing behind him, Wang Muze said with a smile: "The emperor is quite generous. He gave Ge Wucheng and Zhang Jianjian a house. Since they returned to the mansion yesterday, the threshold has been trampled to pieces. My son, should we send it away quietly?" Go over there with something? I see that they are almost anxious because they will never see your shadow."

"No hurry." Shen Wenxuan put down his hands and came out from behind the screen, "Isn't it a general who suppresses the south and a general who suppresses the north? Let them familiarize themselves with their military affairs first. It depends on what they are capable of."

"Yes." Wang Muze replied, feeling that these two people came, and they felt a lot easier, at least in a different mood.

Shen Wenxuan asked his servants to carry a big suitcase with him into the palace. Although he wanted to see the emperor's slanted face, but today was Ajiao's birthday, he couldn't help but smile, and he was still in a good mood.
