Dress to be a celebrity

Chu Changshi was called by the king of Zhou to discuss matters at night. Hearing the news that Hanzhong was going to produce Jiahe, he packed his bags overnight, and the next day he took a group of soldiers and went straight to Hanzhong.

Although he was in a hurry, anyone who heard the news of "Thirteen Spikes" would feel that his gallop was worth it.Sima Changshi didn't have the opportunity to go back to Hanzhong for a meeting, and he patted his thigh and hated that when he was a teenager, he only cared about reading and didn't like to play.

Otherwise, it would be Zuo Changshi who served King Zhou, and he, You Changshi, went back to welcome Xiangrui...

No matter how regretful he was, his ability to ride a horse was indeed inferior to that of Chu Changshi, so he had no choice but to help him pack his luggage overnight, and pinned his expectations on him, Yin Yin said: "Go early and return early."

The king of Zhou also sent it directly to the gate of the posthouse, eagerly looking forward to his early return.Xu Wei, the general guarding Juyongguan, and Pingninghou Wangji, who was newly transferred from Beijing to sit in the town, looked at their hurried appearance and thought that Zuo Changshi had received the holy order and wanted to return to Beijing to face the holy on behalf of the King of Zhou.But the king of Zhou lived in their post house in Juyongguan, so how could they not know if there was any news from Beijing?

That must be an accident in the Hanzhong Palace, and it must be dealt with personally by the Chief of the Palace.

Marquis Ping Ning is the nephew of King Qi's patriarch Wei Guogong, so he naturally stood by King Qi's side. Although he did not dare to neglect the eldest son of the emperor, he was somewhat wary of monitoring him.The two secretly sent people to inquire about the accompanying guards and servants of the king of Zhou several times, but they never found out the truth, so they had to write down the news of the changes in Hanzhong in a hurry, and ordered their confidants to pass it back to Beijing.

When they sent the letter to Beijing, Zhou Wang was following his brother-in-law to study the agricultural practice report made by the trainees of Hanzhong College, and felt the joy of observing the tillering, jointing, and earing of Rui rice through words; It was presented to the emperor and spread out on Xintai Emperor's desk.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and there was a huge nine-sided map hanging on the flour wall. To the north of the capital, a frame was drawn with a red circle under the meticulously depicted Great Wall, and the three characters "Juyongguan" were written in it.King Zhou's Xingyuan was stopping at Juyongguan at this time, and he only needed a letter to call him back.

His gaze was fixed on the map, and although his expression was the same, the prince who was accompanying him could guess his thoughts, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Highness has been away from Beijing for more than eight months, how can you not come to see him if you have visited the capital?" Your Majesty's reasoning? Why don't Your Majesty announce them to the capital and ask His Majesty what he has seen and done in the past few months?"

Furthermore, Princess Zhou is about to give birth, so you can't let the emperor's grandson be born without seeing his father, right?

Although he didn't dare to persuade him deeply, he also said a few words in consideration of the emperor's intentions, but Emperor Xintai only looked at the map intently, as if he didn't hear his whispers.

After a long time, the emperor standing in front of the map raised his hand: "They are inspecting military affairs now, how can they go back to Beijing. Even if they want to go back, they have to wait for this errand to be completed. There are so many princes and courtiers who have been sent out. I have never heard of it. Which one put aside state affairs for family affairs."

He explained a few words as if he wanted to convince himself, then turned around and looked at King Zhou's memorabilia filled with admiration between the lines, and slowly closed his eyes: "Tell them to have a beginning and an end. After finding out, go back to Beijing and reply."

Although it was clearly stated that the king of Zhou and his party were not allowed to enter the capital, the phrase "return to Beijing and answer the order" added later clearly meant that they were allowed to enter the capital after inspecting Liaodong Town.

The cabinet drafted an edict, and then sent an edict to Zhou Wangfu. Concubine Xu packed up her luggage, repaired the book and sent it to Juyongguan with the imperial edict.Now it's September, and it's still thousands of miles away to Liaodong Town, where the weather is extremely cold, so they should be told to leave Shanhaiguan early and return as soon as possible.

The cabinet drafted the decree a bit slower, and the eunuch Huang, the head of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, delivered the oral order to Princess Zhou, and arrived at the palace one step earlier.

Concubine Zhou is now approaching her due date, and it is inconvenient for her to do things. When she came to receive the imperial edict, she was careful every step of the way, with her hands folded in front of her body, protecting her abdomen.In the past, Li Shi, the concubine bestowed by the Holy Majesty, was by his side, and he did everything by himself, and the palace servants and maids who followed and served him were also strict in rules, and their appearance was changed from when they were in the palace.

The eunuch Huang who delivered the decree had also personally experienced the rumor turmoil. Seeing the scene in the palace, he felt that the princess had become more organized in the past few months.Although the king of Zhou was not there, the palace was full of harmony between his wife and concubines, and the housework was well organized, and he always lived up to the teachings of the sage and the concubine.

He ordered the concubine to be spared from kneeling, and told her and the people in the palace to prepare the things for King Zhou to leave the pass and send them outside Juyong Pass.However, because the king of Zhou was entrusted by the emperor, and he was inspecting important military affairs at the border, the female family members in the mansion were not allowed to see him off in person, and the things were prepared and transported by his own palace servants.

After announcing the decree, Eunuch Huang changed his smile and advised Princess Huan considerately: "Ms. Huan, let someone take care of her earlier. The slaves have heard that Liaodong is bitterly cold. I'm afraid they will stay in the suburbs of Beijing for one more day, and it will be much colder in Liaodong." Your highness has a body of gold and jade, and he has never experienced the hardships of wind and frost since he was a child. If he is less prepared, what will he do if he suffers in Liaodong?"

Princess Huan thanked him for his suggestion, and said calmly: "The mansion got the news that the prince is going to patrol the border, and the convoy will go to the capital sooner or later. With the pure filial heart of the prince, he must go to Beijing to report the letter, so the concubine and Mrs. Li have made preparations early. Bring food, clothing, charcoal and other things. If Eunuch Huang can wait, I will arrange for someone to load the car and ask the palace to transfer it for you."

Eunuch Huang said with a smile: "The concubine is careful, the servant girl will return to the palace to answer her orders, and ask someone to come to the palace to pick up the car."

After he left, Huan Yuanniang relaxed her body, leaned into the chair slowly, and sighed to Mrs. Li: "My sister has been working hard these days, and I have to ask you to bring someone to pack things."

Mrs. Li blessed her body, and replied gently: "Serving His Royal Highness and Your Majesty is just a concubine's job, so why bother? Madam, don't worry, Liaodong is only a thousand miles away from Juyongguan. When the son is born, Madam After taking good care of yourself, His Highness should return to the capital. When the time comes, the Holy Majesty will show mercy, and His Highness will go to Beijing to reverse his order, so won’t he be able to return to the mansion to meet the empress and the young prince?"

She held the key to the small warehouse in the mansion, and in a short while loaded the box and cage that had been prepared into the carriage, and the palace just sent a servant to pick up the luggage, so she ordered the servant to take it away with the carriage.

Seeing how neatly she tidied up, Yuan Niang praised her with a smile: "My sister is very clear and neat. I will see Your Highness in the future. I will never forget to give you credit for assisting in managing the palace."

Mrs. Li bowed her head slightly, and said modestly: "It's also thanks to the Hanzhong Mansion sending a letter to the mother's cousin's house, detailing the luggage that our Highness should prepare when traveling, so I thought about what to prepare."

Although the concubine and empress don't mention family matters, who doesn't know that the magistrate of Hanzhong is the sweetheart of Song Sanyuan, Princess Huan's elder brother?When she was still in her boudoir, she had heard the book "Song Zhuangyuan Yi Knots Two Couples". Although the princess has a dignified temperament and is not easy to show off, but she has been praised, how can she not compliment her natal family?

She went through the list attached to the letter from the Hanzhong Mansion in more detail, and repeatedly praised the Song emperor's relative.If he hadn't sent a letter to inform them of the date of the prince's trip, the entourage, and the luggage he had prepared, they would have been able to arrange the right things to give.

Huan Yuanniang was silent for a while, lowered her eyes and said: "What my sister said is very true. In the future, His Highness will return to Beijing, or take us to Hanzhong. If there is a chance, I... I will ask His Highness and brother to thank Master Song."

She no longer dared to be self-willed because of her personal grievances, make false comments on courtiers, and damage the reputation of King Zhou.

The reason why they moved out of the palace and went out of Beijing to appease the military was because she was willful at the beginning, and she would make a scene when she saw the Song version of the book. How could she be caught and splashed with sewage all over her Highness?

At the beginning, she was only thinking about how to assist His Highness, to be the empress of a generation of wise kings, but now she realizes that it is not easy for her to be a good concubine...

Some people in King Zhou's mansion were thinking about King Zhou, and some people in King Qi's mansion a few streets away were also thinking about King Zhou's itinerary.

When King Qi got the news from the palace, knowing that the Holy Majesty did not allow King Zhou to go to Beijing to see him, all the boxes and cages packed by King Zhou’s mansion had already left the capital. King Qi felt a little regretful when he talked about this with his relatives and friends.

It's not that he regrets that his elder brother can't go to Beijing, but that he didn't take this opportunity to show his brotherly love in a book so that he can increase his strength.

Everyone around King Qi also knows that the Son of Heaven loves King Zhou, although the possibility of him being enthroned has been almost eliminated due to frequent accidents at the Queen Mother's and Yue's family over the years, but His Majesty cares about his beloved son and will definitely choose someone who is tolerant of him The prince is on the throne.

King Qi also sighed, and said: "I don't know why, my father still thinks so much about my elder brother, even Mr. Song, who was in the third Yuan Dynasty, was sent to his fief as the magistrate. Then Mr. Song is my first favorite." Yes, I didn't care about his good looks with my sister-in-law at first, but in the end a fairy-like figure fell into the hands of my elder brother who couldn't return to Beijing."

Everyone persuaded him: "Your Highness, why do you want to fight for a moment? King Zhou's mission is always a foreign mission, and it's also a military job. No matter how well you do it, it's not as good as your Highness in the Ministry of Rites."

What's more, Liaodong is a world of ice and snow, and now it's late autumn. Isn't it afraid that the king of Zhou will be hit by the cold wind when he arrives there, and he will come back after freezing?

If his body is really broken, it is even less of a concern.

King Qi snorted coldly: "That's my elder brother. If the emperor is willing to let me patrol the border, I will do better than my elder brother, but I don't have to wait for the bad weather to damage my elder brother's health."

Eldest brother's martial arts and military skills are absolutely inferior to him, and Huan Ling and the palace chiefs who are accompanying him are even more useless literati. Why did the father appoint elder brother to do this job and look down on him?

The young King Qi felt a little depressed, took a sip of wine, and ordered his capable family members: "Pick a few pieces of good leather and ten altars of spirits and send them to Juyongguan, saying that I, as a younger brother, gave them to him on the way. When you get there, ask someone to ask Ask Wang Ji, how does eldest brother do things on weekdays."

The soldiers of Prince Qi's mansion rode like flying horses, but within two days they made a round trip from outside Juyong Pass, and found out two pieces of news: his eldest brother had already left for Shanhaiguan, and Princess Zhou and the concubine packed up a cart full of clothes and utensils; His Zuo Changshi bid farewell to his cousin Wang Houye at dawn, it seemed that something important happened in Hanzhong, Zuo Changshi was in a hurry to go back.

What major event happened in Hanzhong, which needs to be dealt with by the chief minister of the palace?

Could it be that King Zhou's concubine is also pregnant, and Jingli's child is not the only heir of King Zhou? !If this is the case, they have been staring at Prince Zhou's mansion for the past few months, and they only begged him not to ask for a man. Wouldn't it be in vain to occupy the favor of the Holy One!
