Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Concubine Liang is kicking shuttlecock with some little girls in the courtyard, although she is over forty, she looks like a little girl.

The palace people next to him were startled to salute when they saw the emperor coming, Emperor Xuande waved his hand, and sat in the pavilion watching Concubine Liang playing with the little girl.

Almost tired of playing, Concubine Liang looked back and saw Emperor Xuande, and quickly knelt down, "I don't know that the emperor is coming, if there is something that disturbs the emperor, I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Emperor Xuande walked to his side and helped him up, "There's nothing wrong with it, you're here to have fun, I'm glad to see you."

Concubine Liang pretended to be charming, "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines are very old, how can they compare with those young palace people, just thinking about the warmer weather, so they can relax their muscles and bones."

Just hearing this voice, Emperor Xuande felt his whole heart prickly. People often say that wives are not as good as concubines, and this is also true in the palace.

"You all go down and wait at a distance." Concubine Liang ordered.

After all the palace people retreated, Emperor Xuande also relaxed and told about the affairs of the court.

Concubine Liang looked like she had something to say but didn't dare to say it, Emperor Xuande said, "It's all right for you to say it, even if it's wrong, I won't blame you."

Only then did Concubine Liang boldly say, "Your Majesty, the soldiers on the left and right sides of the battlefield are just doing their best. As many as the general goes to the real battle, they are all sitting in charge. In other words, this general is a reassurance in the hearts of the soldiers. , With this pill, the little soldiers will have the momentum to go to the battlefield, and the whole army will be uniform."

Emperor Xuande thought for a moment, "You mean as long as there is a leader?"

Concubine Liang nodded, and put a grape into Emperor Xuande's mouth, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so worried. We have a land as big as the Great Northern Dynasty and there are so many people. Those southern barbarians come to attack every few years, which is a waste of manpower." Powerless, you are the son of heaven, so you naturally have the blessing of heaven."

Emperor Xuande's heart was completely fulfilled. Could it be possible that the land accumulated by his ancestors was wiped out by a small clan?After having lunch at Concubine Liang's place, Emperor Xuande left satisfied.

As soon as the front foot left, Nan Rong Zehan came in through the side door on the back foot. He guessed that the emperor would go to the mother concubine to complain after the next court. As long as he colluded with the mother concubine, everything would be firmly in their hands.

"Greetings to mother, baby." Nan Rong Zehan saluted respectfully.

"Get up quickly, I asked the small kitchen to cook your favorite dishes, and I'm just waiting for you to come."

Nan Rong Zehan sat down and asked eagerly, "What did the emperor tell you?"

"Worried about the frontier war, don't worry, the mother and concubine have spoken according to what we discussed."

Only then did Nan Rong Zehan stretch his smile, "It's been a day or two that he has no choice but to make me the crown prince. As long as I become the crown prince, the throne will be secure."

"Don't worry, when he goes to court in two days, the emperor will probably have to worry again. When he comes again, I will tell him like this."

Nan Rong Zehan nodded, pointed to a bowl of Sixi meatball soup on the table and said, "Is there a new cook in the concubine's palace? This bowl of soup I'm drinking is different from the previous ones."

Concubine Liang added another bowl and said, "The chef who came from Jiangnan two days ago in the palace cooks excellent dishes. I told the emperor a few days ago that the emperor asked me to come here to cook for a few days. You It’s also a blessing.”

After lunch, the little girl hurriedly reported from the outside that the emperor had also gone to the queen's place after his court visit, and she was tasting wine with the queen.

"Isn't the queen alone all the time, why did she wade into this water?"

Concubine Liang said disdainfully, "I am a mother, so he is not a mother. Her child is living in the south of the Yangtze River, so she is not allowed to intercede with the emperor. The emperor finally went there, and when he came here, he looked so bad, he must be angry." Enough."

When Nan Rong Zehan thought of the eldest prince, he felt uncomfortable, "Now the eldest prince is far away from the sky, should we read another book?"

----

Nanrong Zeyu was looking at the map in the tent, his brows were tightly frowned. This time the Nanman army was completely different from the previous attack. First, they conquered Xiancheng, the weakest city on the border, and now the surveyors have not found any movement to go north. , has been stationed around Xiancheng.

When Cheng Mu came back from the training ground, Nan Rong Zeyu hurriedly discussed with him.

"What do you think they mean this time?"

The movement of the Nanman on the map has been clearly marked. Cheng Mu looked at the movement and moved his finger upwards, and finally arrived at the three states in the southwest.

"You mean?"

"There is no news about the deployment of troops by the imperial court. It is obvious that the prefects of the three southwestern states will lead their own troops to defend. The Southern Barbarians are probably waiting for this opportunity."

"The three southwestern states are the last bottom line of the southwestern border guards. If they are lost here, the consequences will be disastrous."

Cheng Mu continued, "Qizhou, Bianzhou, and Tingzhou are from west to east. If I were the general of the Southern Barbarians, I would give up the capture of other cities and attack directly from the mountains and forests to the three states. If the Great Northern Dynasty Without reinforcements, the prefects of the three states must be thinking of gathering their respective armies together to defend against the southern barbarians together."

Nanrong Zeyu thought for a moment, "If the enemy annihilates these troops on the road of rendezvous, the entire three southwestern states will be destroyed by themselves."

"Yes, the court will panic."

"If I were Nan Rong Zehan, I would force the emperor to become the crown prince at this moment, and then personally lead the troops to destroy the enemy. After the morale is greatly improved, it will be easy to win. If you don't win, as you said before, with the Nanmanzi If we hook up and cede the three southwestern states, he can still be an emperor in peace."

"Your Highness, it would be terrible if this is the case. Once the three southwestern states are lost, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou are all in danger. Your lips will be dead and your teeth will be cold."

"Then we will definitely not let him succeed."

The soldiers on the training ground were training vigorously, and Cheng Mu was counting the number of troops sent by the imperial court on paper.There are [-] elite soldiers stationed in the three states in the southwest. With the current strength of the imperial court, at most [-] soldiers and horses can be sent out. The Nanmanzi are about [-]. If Nanrong Zehan can lead the troops, victory in this battle will be easy.

As if the result had already been predicted, Cheng Mu was not so panicked anymore.

"Your Highness, a letter from the imperial court has been sent outside, saying that you are asked to return to Beijing immediately."

Nan Rong Zeyu put down the map in his hand, and read the imperial decree presented by Yijiu, with a serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Mu asked.

"The imperial decree said that I did collude with people in the Jianghu. The last time I robbed the law field and rescued the leader of the largest cult in the Jianghu, the Red Moon Sect. The imperial court asked me to return to Beijing immediately for interrogation."

"Your Highness, it is really inappropriate to return to Beijing at this time, you must be cautious."

The seals on the imperial decree are all true, and Nan Rong Zeyu is sitting in the tent, it seems that someone wants to harm him again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the queen's letter!" Er Jiu ran quickly, holding a big red envelope in his hand.

Nanrong Zeyu took the envelope, on which there was a hand-painted wintersweet flower, which was a letter written by the queen mother.
