The Emperor's Man [Transmigration Book]

Had dinner with Xiao Yue in Changle Palace, coaxed Xiao Yue, expecting him to come to accompany him tomorrow, and then returned to Dongnuan Pavilion.Seeing the bright lights in the room, Chen Qing stamped his feet at the door, and asked the eunuch guarding the door: "Has the Holy Majesty come back?"

The eunuch said respectfully: "Go back to your lord, not yet."

Chen Qing lowered her eyes and walked into the Nuan Pavilion.Xiaozi followed Chen Qing, seeing Chen Qing sitting on a chair in a daze after entering the room, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After the adult came out of Changle Palace, he was always in a daze, as if he had some troubles.I also recalled the emperor's expression when he left the Changle Palace in the afternoon, could it be that my lord had a quarrel with the emperor again?

Xiaozi looked worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk too much.Where are the slaves like them meddling with the master's affairs?

Last night, although the emperor carried her to the wide bed of agarwood wood, although the bed was comfortable, the emperor was sleeping next to her, which really made Chen Qing tremble.After taking a bath in the bathtub, Chen Qing went out of the inner room again, and lay down on the soft bed by the window.

Tonight, Yuzi kept vigil and waited for Chen Qing to lie down, so Yuzi blew out the candles in the outer room.

Chen Qing, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned a little bit. The current self was enough to show off in front of the emperor.Fortunately, the emperor agreed that as long as the map of the region was drawn, he would be released from the palace.

What do those people's lives have to do with me?Fate is their own, and the emperor cannot be suspicious again for them.

Hengyue's dangerous road, anyway, they will be able to find it sooner or later.

This is the normal track in the book, it's just a vision of myself.So... If you don't say anything, don't blame yourself.

After thinking about it, Chen Qing persuaded himself in his heart.

Playing around with Xiao Yue during the day, exhausted too much physical strength, after persuading himself, he couldn't help feeling sleepy and fell asleep.

How tangled in my heart before going to bed, but I didn't expect to sleep so peacefully that night.When she opened her eyes, what caught her eyes was the crocodile silk tent hanging beside the bed.

Chen Qing was taken aback, how could he wake up on the soft couch in the outer room where he slept yesterday, could it be that he still has the nocturnal syndrome?

Chen Qing got up, not wanting to think about it.After breakfast, he went to the desk to continue drawing regional drawings.

Xiaozi was rubbing ink aside, but seeing Chen Qing picking up the brush but lost in thought, he called out in doubt, "My lord?"

"Huh?" Chen Qing looked at Yu Zi.

Xiaozi: "My lord, my slave saw you lost in thought, and was afraid that the ink might stain the blueprint."

Chen Qing collected himself and began to draw.I thought about it well last night, this matter has nothing to do with me, but why do I always feel very depressed in my heart.

In the book, during the Battle of Kangding, Nanyue finally retreated, but the corpses cleared out of the city turned into a mountain of corpses.When reading the book, I naturally feel that this is just the plot of the story. Although I feel shocked, it will not be the same as it is now.

The current self is really conscious and truly living in this world, and everyone here is also a living life.Can I really just sit back and let it go on the original track?

"Subsequent to Zi..."

Xiaozi was still grinding the inkstone finely, when he heard Chen Qing's call, he responded respectfully: "What's the matter, my lord?"

"You said that you ignored the lives of thousands of people for the sake of your own. What do you think of this?" Chen Qing said, and continued to whisper: "It could have been saved, but only one sentence can save them."

"My lord, although I don't know what my lord said. But I know that the life of one slave is not enough. If it can exchange the lives of thousands of people, I can give it up." Xiaozi said, as if he felt that his words The words were too righteous and generous, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Chen Qing glanced at Yu Zi, and put down the pen.My life is my life, and theirs are also my life, why was I so indifferent before, wanting to ignore their lives.

"Aren't you out of drawing paper, my lord?"

Seeing Chen Qing getting up and walking towards the outside of the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Zi hurriedly followed.

"Drawings can be drawn at any time."

But now the dangerous road must be told to the emperor as soon as possible. From Danyang to southern Fujian, it will take a day and a night to get there.

When they arrive there, the army will have to go through the natural danger, and it will take some time to go to Kangding. By then, Kangding will not know what it will look like.

When we arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Liu Chaoqin really stood guard at the door, and when he saw Chen Qing hurriedly approaching, there was a tinge of surprise on his face, but it was only fleeting.

"Master Chen, why are you here?"

"I want to see the emperor. I have something very important to say."

Liu Chaoqin showed embarrassment: "This... the emperor is discussing with the ministers, why don't you come back later?"

Chen Qing was anxious, and only hoped that he could tell the emperor about this matter earlier, so that he could send someone to go to southern Fujian. How could he wait: "My matter is related to the blocking of the southern Fujian army. late."

Unexpectedly, Chen Qing was for this matter, and the emperor was worrying about this matter.Thinking about it in his heart, he saw Chen Qing's eagerness, which was not fake, and said: "Then, please wait here for a while, my lord, I will report to you."

After Liu Chaoqin went in to report, Chen Qing felt a little worried, not knowing that the emperor believed his words and let him in.When Chen Qing saw the vermilion lacquered wooden door open again, Chen Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Following Liu Chaoqin into the imperial study room, the emperor sat on the imperial case, and the twelve-pronged white jade beads hanging from the crown hung down, covering the expression on the emperor's face.

And there are two ministers standing on each side of the bottom, the second one on the left Chen Qing recognizes, it is Rong Liang who brought her into the palace.

"Chen Qing pays homage to the emperor."

Chen Qing kowtowed and saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Qing stood up, eyes slightly lowered, listening to the emperor's deep and magnetic voice in the hall: "I heard that you have a way to relieve the obstruction of the southern Fujian army?"

"Yes." Chen Qing continued: "The army is blocked on the Pearl River in southern Fujian, and there is a Hengyue Mountain next to it. There is a dangerous road in it, which can directly lead to the opposite side of the river."

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and Chen Qing's palms were covered with sticky sweat, afraid that the emperor would not believe him: "Let the army go straight to the southeast of Mount Hengyue, and when you see a vine tree, just go a little further in." Find that dangerous road. It leads directly to Linlang, which is closer than going from the Pearl River."

"The old man has never heard anyone say that there is a dangerous road to Hengyue. What is the basis for your words. The army was blocked in southern Fujian, and it has been delayed for a long time. Do you know that if the army followed your advice to go to Hengyue?" In Yueshan, if there is no such a dangerous road, how long would it take for the army to reach Kangding."

A voice sounded next to him, and he was full of air when he spoke.Chen Qing looked and saw a middle-aged man standing beside Rong Liang, wearing a dark red official uniform and a black black gauze hat.Thin and pale, with a beard on his lips, his eyes are piercing, and he looks upright and awe-inspiring.

Before Chen Qing could speak, Rong Liang said first, "Master Wen, as you said, the best way is for the army to wait in place?"

"When did I say to wait on the spot, but you said that, Mr. Rong." Wen Ze gave Rong Liang a glare.

"Then you have a feasible method, why didn't you say it earlier."

Wen Ze snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Rong Liang: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to commandeer the surrounding fishing boats and cross the river."

After Wen Ze finished speaking, Rong Liang immediately retorted: "Miss Wen, you forgot how the bridge on the Pearl River was broken. The heavy rain there made the river rise, and the current was turbulent. Tens of thousands of troops were allowed to cross the river. Do you know the risks involved? .As long as the boat capsizes, no one can get out of the Pearl River."

"This..." Wen Ze was at a loss for words, he had provoked Rong Liang with words just now, but now that he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.But he didn't want to admit defeat in front of Rong Liang, so he said: "There are risks, but the fish farmers around me have been working on the river all the year round, and they are very familiar with the Pearl River. As long as they are careful, it is not difficult to go there. At least they can pass the Pearl River quickly. Some let the army set off for Kangding."

Rong Liang: "Speak faster, I think Chen Qing's method is more secure, and it leads directly to Linlang, isn't it closer to Kangding?"

Wen Ze was so blocked that he almost didn't blow his beard and stare, but what Rong Liang said was reasonable, and finally turned his back to Rong Liang and simply stopped talking.

The two ministers on the opposite side heard the two of them finished arguing, and then they said leisurely: "The ministers think that Rong Shilang's words are reasonable. The Pearl River cannot pass through now. Instead of waiting, it is better to find another way out. If what Chen Qingru said is true, it is true. It is also the best policy.”

When Wen Ze heard that the two ministers on the opposite side were standing in the united front with Rong Liang, he was even more annoyed: Why didn't you say it just now, it's an afterthought!

The final decisions in the palace were all in the hands of the emperor, and Chen Qing was startled watching Rong Liang and Wen Ze arguing like a market.Could it be that when the emperor was in the early court, the ministers below were all like this, arguing endlessly, the public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right?

No wonder the emperor always had a gloomy face when he came back from the morning court.

In the end, the emperor adopted Chen Qing's method, and drafted an order to make people rush to southern Fujian.

A few people left the imperial study room, Chen Qing walked in the last, and unexpectedly, after descending the white marble steps, he saw Rong Liang standing there.

"Servant Rong." Chen Qing walked over.

Rong Liang laughed as he listened: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Changqian, are you so unfamiliar?"

"Rong Liang." Chen Qing changed his words with a smile: "I have never had time to thank you for my father's matter..."

"I don't need to do this when I'm a brother." Rong Liang raised his hand to block Chen Qing who was about to thank him, he was ashamed of him, and it was just a matter of lifting him into the palace back then, how could he accept the gift.

Chen Qing was moved in his heart, although the original body was useless, it was a blessing to have a friend like Rong Liang.

"Are you okay in the palace?" Rong Liang knew that Chen Qing was drawing the regional maps in the palace, but the emperor didn't like Chen Qing at all, and he didn't know if he would be wronged in the palace.

"pretty good."

Hearing this, Rong Liang sighed: "That's all right, I'm relieved."

"There is one more thing I would like to ask Brother Rong Liang for help."

Rong Liang: "But it doesn't matter."

"After the Chen residence came out, there were three servants who followed me all the time, but they were all waiting for me at the inn in the city when I entered the palace. I thought Brother Rong Liang would give them some silver and send them away."

Chen Qing thought of Shunzi and the others, they were slaves, and now it would be good to let them go and find a way out.I still don't know what my fate will be. Even if I finish drawing the map and leave the palace, I will no longer be the old young master of the Chen family.

Follow me, I don't know if I can pay the monthly money.It's better to send them away and let them go back to live their own lives.

Rong Liang looked at Chen Qing, his eyes moved slightly: "I actually feel that you seem to be different from before."

In the past, Chen Qing was unbearably stubborn, with his eyes above his head, how could he care so much about the life and death of a few servants.

Chen Qing stared at Rong Liang, and said slowly: "If I say that I am no longer who I used to be."

Rong Liang tried to help him several times, Chen Qing couldn't bear to deceive him, and couldn't help but want to tell him the truth.Unexpectedly, Rong Liang misunderstood him instead, thinking that because of the defeat of the Chen family and the death of Chen Defa, his temperament changed drastically, and he comforted him: "The thing has happened, and no one can change it, so don't be too sad. Uncle Chen must be in the spirit of heaven, I also hope that you will be well in the future.”

After Rong Liang agreed to leave the palace, he went to the inn to find Shunzi and the others, and gave them some silver taels so that they could go back to live.After Chen Qing thanked her repeatedly, the two separated.

After offering advice from the imperial study, Chen Qing began to concentrate on drawing drawings again, and occasionally went to Changle Palace to find Xiao Yue, and lived a comfortable life.

The only shortcoming is that Xiao Che, who forcibly creates a sense of presence in his own life, falls asleep on the soft couch in the outer room every day, but wakes up in the daytime but always sleeps on the wide agarwood bed inside.

Chen Qing was irritable, she didn't know why she slept so deeply at night, and she didn't even know it was changed.But he didn't expect that the emperor was even more irritable than himself, and suddenly woke him up from the soft couch a few days ago.

The emperor slapped her arm in burning pain, Chen Qing woke up in a daze, and wanted to get angry, but unexpectedly saw a face as black as charcoal, as if seeing the king of hell.Chen Qing's breath of getting up suddenly went out, only listening to the deep voice of the emperor:

"Go and sleep on the bed inside."

Chen Qing was dressed in white loose obscene clothes, with her hair scattered behind her head, sitting on a soft couch and looking at the emperor.Because of not sleeping well, the corners of the eyes were red, and the eyes were stained with autumn water.Looking at this appearance, Xiao Che's heart tightened, his eyes moved slightly: "Don't go in yet, wait for me to carry you in?"

Under the majesty of the emperor, Chen Qing staggered into the inner room with her pillow in her arms.When she reached the bright yellow bed, Chen Qing climbed onto the bed, placed her pillow against the wall, and then lay down.

At this time, Chen Qing was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He lay on the soft bed with a musky scent, and fell asleep again in a daze.

outer chamber

Xiao Che watched the man staggeringly walk inside, his thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, for fear that he would knock him if he didn't pay attention.He signaled a little eunuch to follow in, so that he could watch and not let him bump into each other.

The eunuch crouched and walked in, Liu Chaoqin held the whisk in his hand, looked at the emperor's hand trembling slightly beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, I want the servant to send the imperial physician."

"No need."

Xiao Che held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand and rubbed it.

Just now when I went back to the East Nuan Pavilion, I still wanted to carry him to the inner room as usual, but I didn't expect that just as I stretched out my hand, Chen Qing suddenly kicked him, Xiao Che was caught off guard and twisted his wrist.

There was a tingling pain in his wrist, but the person on the bed was still sleeping soundly, the tenderness just now disappeared from Xiao Che's face, and his face was livid.

Waiting to see that person walking in sleepily, but very nervous, bumping into each other, the one who feels distressed is still himself.

Xiao Che walked into the inner room, the crocodile silk tent on the bed was hanging down, seeing that there was no movement inside, he asked, "Sleeping?"

The eunuch guarding the side replied respectfully: "As soon as your lord comes in, go to bed and go to sleep."

"Let's all go out, there is no need to wait here."

After all the eunuchs left, Xiao Che raised the curtain, looking at the person inside who was sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt, his thin lips couldn't help curling up.Remembering that when he was punished by himself to draw a map of the region, he slept soundly while lying on the desk.

"I feel that no matter what time it is, you really don't fall behind at all." Xiao Che looked at the person on the bed and said, there was a hint of pampering in his words that he didn't realize.

There was news from southern Fujian that a dangerous road had indeed been found in Mount Hengyue, and the army had arrived in Kangding at this time.

It has been a day since the news reached Danyang Palace.The statement in Kangding has already led the army to confront the South Vietnamese army.

When the statement arrived in Kangding, the sheriff who packed up his belongings and was about to run away was surrounded by the crowd.

When the report came and heard the reason of the incident, he directly ordered his subordinates to put the county guard in prison, and he will deal with it after repelling South Vietnam.

With reinforcements in Kangding, he is no longer afraid of South Vietnam.On the contrary, Nanyue thought that the army that came to support was still trapped in southern Fujian, so they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Kangding down when the reinforcements arrived.

That night, he wanted to surprise Kangding City, to cooperate with the inside and outside, but was caught by the city's prepared statement.The more than [-] people who attacked the city at night were all captured and strangled.

After this battle, the report also made Mu Guan look at him differently.

When the news came back to Danyang, Xiao Che was very happy.Nanyue invaded Chongqi one after another, and even stepped in during the civil strife in Chongqi, taking three cities in Chongqi.Now that the two armies are at war, the first battle stated that South Vietnam lost [-] soldiers without a single soldier. How unhappy is this news.

After the first snowfall in Chongqi in the same year, news of success came from the west, and the South Vietnamese army was defeated and retreated to the Nu River area.Statement led the army to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and beat Nanyue back to its old nest.

The two-month battle was finally over.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 19th year of Chongqi

The Western Expeditionary Army led by Chen Chen returned to the court, and the whole country celebrated with joy.Above the court, meritorious deeds were rewarded, and those who made meritorious deeds were promoted to rank.As the commander in chief, the rewards are naturally indispensable, and the continuous rewards were carried into the general's mansion, and many people gathered around to watch.

There are rewards, and a banquet is also indispensable.The banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, provided by Guanglu Temple, and arranged by the Department of Fine Food. The scene is very lively and grand.

There are fiery red lanterns hanging around, reflecting the white snow outside is even brighter.The palace people came and went with delicate jade dishes in and out, exhaling white cold air from their mouths.

At this time, the banquet had not yet started, all the officials who had already arrived gathered in the Yihe Hall, sitting or standing together and talking.

Dongnuang Court

It was freezing cold outside, but Chen Qing was so hot inside the warm pavilion that she was sweating.A charcoal basin was set up in the Nuan Pavilion, and the door was covered with a thick curtain to keep out the bitter cold wind outside.Chen Qing sat on the soft couch holding a small heater with exquisite workmanship, wearing a smoked fox fur, and pursed her lips as she looked at the eunuchs who came in and out to serve the emperor to bathe and change clothes.

"My lord, don't be angry, it's freezing outside, you don't have to freeze when you go out." Xiaozi comforted him.

Chen Qing glanced at Xiao Zi, he felt that he was not angry, it was just a banquet, so he still had to go.The cold wind outside was biting, stretching out a finger felt as if it was cut by a knife, so he didn't want to go out.

When Xiao Che came out, he saw Chen Qing sitting on the soft couch, looking listless.

"That's all you want to go?"

Chen Qing raised his eyelids to look at the emperor, then immediately lowered them, and said awkwardly: "I don't want to, I don't want to go."

In the past two months, Xiao Che has become more and more tolerant towards Chen Qing, which has also caused Chen Qing to be fearless in front of Xiao Che, and instead become a little unscrupulous.

For the emperor's generosity and tolerance, I have to thank Rong Liang.In order to ease the relationship between the two, Xiao Che strictly implemented the five steps mentioned by Rong Liang: tolerate him, let him, let him, bear him, and respect him.

As for the final result, although Chen Qing did not seem to repel him that much anymore, she became more courageous. Sometimes Xiao Che would be hurt by his anger, but he could only go to the imperial study with a gloomy face.

It is conceivable that the ministers who came to discuss the matter were the unlucky ones in the end.

Seeing Chen Qing's expression of not wanting to say more, Xiao Che wanted to say something, but Liu Chaoqin reminded him: "Your Majesty, the time is coming soon."

Xiao Che took a look at Chen Qing, seeing that he still looked the same, he turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion.The heavy curtains were lifted, and the cold wind from outside came in through the open curtains.

The curtain was lowered again, swinging back and forth inertially, making a slight sound.Chen Qing looked back and pursed her lips even tighter.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and gradually the stars and white snow drifted down.The Hall of Supreme Harmony was very lively, and the music played by various instruments floated out from the hall.

The upper seat is located in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The emperor ascends to the seat and grants all officials to sit. The princes and ministers sit on top of the Danbi in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the rest of the officials sit in turn.Giving tea, serving wine, and saluting during the period are all kneeling and buckling.

The banquet was held this time for the triumphant return of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the statement naturally attracted much attention.The banquet was praised by the emperor, and all the officials also toasted to congratulate.

Dongnuange, after the emperor left, Xiaozi noticed that his lord seemed to be even more unhappy.Sitting on the soft couch, he even ordered himself to open the window, saying that he wanted to see the snow scene.

How can this be possible, just in winter, my lord fell ill, and the emperor got angry, and these servants who served them all got boarded.Now it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it's freezing cold outside, how dare Xiaozi open the window, if he catches the wind and cold, his life is not enough to be punished by Long Live God.

"Oh, my lord, is there any snow scene to see tonight. Besides, it is snowing outside, if it is freezing, what should I do?" Xiaozi said, seeing that Chen Qing still had a cold face, continued Said: "If you get sick again, the servants serving in the Nuan Pavilion will be punished again."

"My physique is not that bad." Chen Qing said, but he didn't insist on opening the window.The illness in winter made Chen Qing lie in bed for four or five days and couldn't get off. Because of his own reasons, Xiao Zi and all the regular servants in the Nuan Pavilion were punished by the emperor.

Chen Qing felt guilty, listening to Xiao Zi's words, she was afraid of hurting them again.

At this moment, the cloth curtain at the door of the Nuan Pavilion was pushed open, and Liu Chaoqin walked in from the outside.Facing Chen Qing, squinting his eyes with a smile: "My lord, Your Majesty has sent a servant to pick you up."

"Pick me up?" Chen Qing was surprised.

"Yes, the Holy Majesty was afraid that Your Excellency would suffer from the cold, so he ordered the servants to prepare a warm sedan chair and send Your Excellency to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a palace banquet."

Chen Qing was sitting in the warm sedan chair, there was no charcoal basin inside, but it was very warm.Chen Qing was blown by the cold wind when he first came out of the East Nuan Pavilion, and he took some ideas to dissipate the cold.

Holding the stove with both hands, fingertips followed the patterns on the stove, Chen Qing raised her brows, it was the emperor who came to invite her, and she didn't want to go.

When the warm sedan stopped, Chen Qing heard the sound of music playing and the tinkling of bells.

"Is that a bell? What's it for?"

Liu Chaoqin led the way and listened to Chen Qing's question.Then he explained: "The bell must be the dancers from the Graceful Kingdom. This year, the Graceful Kingdom has presented a group of dancers. They all wear nine silver bells on their hands, ankles, and the bells will only make a sound when they dance. "

After hearing this, Chen Qing was even more curious about the palace banquet.But there must be many people at the palace banquet, Chen Qing didn't want to get in touch with those courtiers: "Eunuch Liu, just let me stand aside, you don't need to lead me inside."

Liu Chaoqin said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord. Your Majesty ordered the servants to take you to the back of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. There is a gauze curtain there, so you can have a full view of the banquet."

Chen Qing's heart tightened suddenly: "Then... that's good."

Sure enough, as Liu Chaoqin said, Chen Qing could see the banquet through the veil from where he was, but why was there a person wearing a black and gold crown sitting in front of him.

Chen Qing bit her back teeth and was staring at the emperor's straight back when she heard the emperor's deep voice: "Is it cold on the road?"
