Sparrow dream dance

In the early morning of the next day, when the imperial envoy Shen Qimo visited Prince Xiang's mansion again with several black-armored cavalry, he was told that King Xiang had not yet got up.

He waited in the main hall until noon, and then His Royal Highness King Xiang stretched his waist and slowly stepped into the hall with a tired expression, as if he had indulged too much last night.

Shen Qimo's face was extremely livid, and he wished to pour the cold tea on this person's face to wake her up.He sneered slightly and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness King Xiang is really living a happy life in this fief."

Although Shen Qimo was an important minister in front of Emperor Yan Jing, it was already a step beyond saying such sarcasm to the prince, but Murongyan was not only not annoyed, but instead showed a scorched face and a humble tone, "Lord Shen Just kidding, Yongbei is bitterly cold, there is not a day when this king does not miss his wife and daughter who are far away in Yanjing, how can he live well..."

As soon as this remark came out, Shen Qimo became more and more disdainful in his heart, secretly thinking in his heart, pretending to be hypocritical. .If your wife and daughter know that you are having fun here every night, I'm afraid your heart will be chilled.

But at the moment, he didn't talk bluntly. Thinking of Emperor Yanjing's confession of his business, he opened the door and said, "I came to Yanmen Pass this time to inspect the situation of the border guards on behalf of His Majesty, and to show compassion for the people of Yongzhou on behalf of the court. I'm afraid it will be too much trouble. It's been a few days, my lord, please be considerate."

When Murong Yan heard this, she immediately replied with a smile, "Where is the emperor's kindness, His Majesty's benevolence, it's too late for me to thank Dai Deshang for the people of Yongzhou, so why would I feel it's a nuisance. Master Shen can stay as long as he likes. Just treat this Prince Xiang's mansion as your own."

"So, in the future, His Royal Highness King Laoxiang will take the ministers to meet the soldiers at the border as soon as possible." Shen Qimo said bluntly.

Murong Yan raised her eyebrows and said with a bright smile, "It's easy to say, Mr. Shen must have been exhausted all the way, why don't you have a meal with me and the generals at the mansion first, and after a short rest, I will take you there tomorrow morning Patrol." After speaking, Murong Yan signaled the attendants to hurry down and prepare delicious food and wine.

At the banquet, Murong Yan invited Shen Qimo to sit on the top seat, and the two sides of the table were filled with high-ranking generals of the frontier army.

The former Yanshan Four Heroes Xue Yi, Yang Dayou, Shi Feng, and Zhu Yuanshan are also among them. They all followed Emperor Yan Jing and King Xiang to make great contributions to the chaos.The four were all from Yongzhou, so they were homesick, so they took the initiative to ask Emperor Jing to allow him to be transferred to Yanmen Pass with King Xiang to guard the frontier together.

During the banquet, Murong Yan tried her best to compliment Shen Qimo, praising him as the real pillar of the country, all the generals of Yanmen also spared no effort to please the imperial envoy, and took turns to toast and give speeches.

After a few rounds of drinking, Shen Qimo was flattered by the praise, and he couldn't help showing drunkenness, and slowly let go of his guard.

"Lord Shen, this king misses the emperor very much, and I don't know if everything is well in the palace?" Murong Yan put down the wine glass slowly, with worried eyes, stared at Shen Qimo, and said earnestly, "This king is in a In Yuanjiang, I really feel ashamed for not being able to share worries and solve problems for His Majesty in the court. If I can know that the emperor's brother is safe and sound from the general population, I can also relieve my king's brotherhood."

Shen Qimo replied quite proudly with a hint of drunkenness, "Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty is in good health. In recent years, he has widely accepted the harem and opened up branches and leaves for the royal family. It is very good!"

When Murong Yan heard the word 'harem', a momentary pain flashed in her eyes, and she tried to smile, "Really, that's really the luck of the Yan, the luck of the country."

"No, it's all thanks to the virtuousness and generosity of the empress. Every year, the empress personally selects beauties for His Majesty to serve in the palace. It can be said to be a true example of maternal rites. It is really the luck of the Six Palaces!" Shen Qimo thought of his daughter Entering the palace as a concubine is also the empress' empress who is the matchmaker herself, so she also said gratefully.

Murong Yan was slightly absent-minded, and when she was mentioned from Shen Qimo, the old picture unconsciously surged out of her mind:

"Please, be safe."

This was the last sentence she said to herself the night before she left. Watching her gently tidy up her clothes for the last time with tears in her eyes, for a moment, I almost forgot that she was the queen of this empire. She is his veritable sister-in-law, and he just wants to hug this woman he fell in love with at first again.

But I didn't do it after all, because my hands were stained with too much blood and sin. . .How could I use these dirty and bloody hands to desecrate her again.

Is it safe?

pity. .I didn't understand until now that what really makes people safe is not the weapon in hand, not the unrivaled martial arts, but the supreme power.

Power, and power alone, is the only useful thing in this world.

If I could understand such a superficial truth earlier, perhaps. .Nor would she have died from her impulsive impotence.

Thinking of this, Murongyan restrained her emotions calmly, and continued to put on all her energy to act with the eyeliner sent by the emperor.

For many consecutive days, Murong Yan invited Shen Qimo to linger in the place of love and moon every night, singing and carnivaling, sleeping until the sun was three poles before waking up leisurely every day, and never going to the school grounds for military training.Most of the border generals were obsessed with the skills of throwing pots and Cuju, and neglected to practice. The entire Yongbei Army was filled with a sense of vanity.

A few days later, Shen Qimo set off to return to the capital, and truthfully reported to Emperor Yan Jing all the actions of the vassal and what he had seen and heard in the Yongbei Army.

Emperor Yan Jing was neither angry nor punished, but issued an edict ordering King Xiang to take his troops to Qingzhou Jiannan Road to wipe out the remaining Beisong party.



In the middle of the night, the moon shines brightly.

On the horseback, a tall and slender young man in armor was covered with a half silver mask, and the frosty moonlight streamed down, making the cold lines even more severe.

There was a gurgling sound of wings fluttering from far to near, and it gradually sounded. The person raised his hand slightly, and a gray pigeon landed on her arm not long after.

She pulled out the letter box, unfolded the letter inside, and narrowed her eyes under the mask.

It reads: There have been changes in the Yongbei army, and the commander-in-chief has been transferred to others.

She crushed the letter with her internal force, stretched out her hand, and the flying debris scattered in the wind accompanied by a long sigh.

Alas, no matter how incompetent and incompetent he is, that person still doesn't trust him. . .First send yourself to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits, and then send someone to replace him as the commander-in-chief of the Yongbei Army, and then the next step is probably to cut down the feudal clan openly. . .Do I have to sit still and wait to die?

No, absolutely not!

She clenched the reins tightly in her hand, and for a long time, said coldly, "Yang Zhong, I want you to go back to Yanshan in person, and tell your father and brother Xue that those chicks should grow up."

"Yes, Master." The 13-year-old Lang bowed his head and answered simply, then got on his horse and disappeared into the vast night.

Murongyan's eyes were deep, silently watching the back of Yang Zhong riding away on his horse, no one knew that he was under the silver mask. .What kind of expression is it.

Brother Huang. . .Why do you still force me even today?

I have nothing left. .Why do you still refuse to let me go?

In the second year of Shunzhen, late autumn, Huo Zhen, the censor, sent his daughter Huo Sheng to the palace to dedicate to His Majesty. She won the holy will, and in the same year, she was named Zhaoyi, and Huo Zhen was promoted as the right servant of the second rank. .Subsequently, many ministers of Gyeonggi successively sent the adopted daughters into the palace as concubines.

However, in the spring of the following year, Emperor Yan Jing ordered the world to choose a concubine from the local area.All of a sudden, local officials presented unmarried women from good families who were waiting to be married to the palace in Beijing.
