Chapter 139 The General Returns
The envoys of Doro have not yet been found. The court is like sitting on pins, like walking on thin ice. No one dares to talk about a word of right and wrong. Even in the three early mornings, the kings and ministers look at each other. Until Chuanbei reported, Emperor Doro did not send envoys to make a pilgrimage. The so-called Doro envoy had nothing to do with the Doro royal family. If the emperor catches someone, you don't have to look at his face, just kill him directly.
At this time, someone dared to say that Emperor Doro was obviously shirking responsibility. If it hadn't been sent by them, how could he be called an envoy?
As a result, the third prince, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, suddenly said coldly, "Who said he was an envoy?"
This sentence was like throwing stones in the pool, which immediately caused an uproar. Looking at the emperor's pale face, the courtiers who had previously shouted that Hongyi and Dora's envoys had a personal relationship should be turtles. The third prince looked at all the ministers like this. He simply pretended to be sick and rested at home to avoid the emperor's bad luck. The prince took the lead in taking leave, and several eye-catching ministers also excused various reasons, but some of their slow reaction became their grievances.
For a while, there were complaints inside and outside the court. Suddenly, one day, the emperor did not go to the early morning. Someone asked the internal officials privately and knew that the emperor came out of the palace last night and went to the imperial mausoleum with the eldest prince to worship the Empress Duanming.
"Does the emperor intend to make the eldest prince the crown prince?" Since Li Sinian refused her to deliver the news to Yan Kaizhi, Shaohua has become a regular guest of Taoyuan, waiting for Li Sinian to bring her news almost twice in three days.
"How can I see it? It is not a big deal for the emperor to worship Empress Duanming. I want to say that Empress Duanming is indeed a generation of sages, and even today's imperial concubines are also out of reach. Although she is not born higher than the imperial concubine, she is not as a merchant, but calm and noble. If it hadn't been for the thing of her uncle in those years, what are you doing now? Li Sinian closed the book and came out of the room. He happened to see two figures competing with me for a plate of taro balls.
Shaohua held a soft ball, pressed it on the table, reached out to poke the plate of taro balls in front of Zhou Yan, and was picked up by Zhou Yan to avoid her sneak attack. She flattened her mouth and whispered about Zhou Yan's stingyness. Zhou Yan's eyes widened and replied to her. When Zhou Yan was not paying attention, she reached out to grab it again. Unexpectedly, when she saw Li Sinian come out, the two withdrew their movements awkwardly and pretended to look like they lowered their eyebrows.
Li Sinian shook his eyebrows a few times, crossed the expression on their faces, and continued: "Now many people have set their eyes on the eldest prince because of the emperor's sacrifice to Empress Duanming. In addition, the second prince has not been lifted yet, and the eldest prince is in the limelight. It is rare for Xiu Mu to be able to accompany his mother and wife at home, but he found that his wife and sister together have become a mixed demon group. However, the eldest prince no longer has a mother's home, and he may not be able to compete with the second prince alone.
Since ancient times, the crown prince has been a direct leader, followed by the virtuous and capable person. This is also the reason why many ministers still support the eldest prince Hongwen when the Empress Duanming passed away and the Wang family was expelled. However, Hongwen can't be compared with Hongyi except his identity. After fighting for so many years, they have never competed for a name.
However, the imperial concubine's mother's family, the He family, has made great achievements in battle, and there are several archways in the Pingzhou mansion to show meritorious deeds. Now General Dingxi is old, and the territory of Doro is also competing for the crown prince. Once the new king ascends the throne, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not provoke and declare war on the Qing Kingdom.
Compared with Hongwen, a nominally superior prince, Hongyi himself is already both civil and military. If the two countries go to war, Hongyi will naturally be more capable than Hongwen.
However, what Li Sinian didn't expect was that Hongwen took advantage of the limelight to openly plead with the emperor to keep his promise and allow the Wang family to enter Beijing. At that time, the imperial edict was that three generations were not allowed to serve as officials, but it did not say who started from the three generations. Hongwen took advantage of the loophole and insisted that the Wang clan, the highest generation at that time, was counted as the first generation, and the third generation was selected to be the same generation as Hongwen. Therefore, if you find the orphans of the Wang family who are one generation younger than Hongwen, even if it is the fourth generation, the ten-year period has arrived, and it is no longer a problem to go to Beijing to recognize ancestors and serve.
It was rare for the emperor to play Hongwen's request. Hongwen immediately made a big deal and sent people to look for the orphans of the Wang family, so many people also took the opportunity to turn the rudder.
Among these people who turn the helm, including Princess Yinghua.
Ling secretly sweated for Wanhua. As soon as she passed the door, Princess Yinghua was busy standing in line. In case you stand in the wrong line and implicates Wanhua at that time, Ling will regret it. Seeing that his wife was going to call her daughter back and persuade his son-in-law to stand in line, Li Xunzhuo immediately interrupted her idea. Li Xunzhuo believes that the Ling family is purely unfounded. Even if the second prince ascends the throne, will he still kill all the people in the big prince's camp? Since Fan Erlang has the intention to get fame, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, he is bound to experience storms. If he is afraid of being affected, it is best to find a high mountain and water to hide.
Despite this, Ling still felt depressed and unhappy. Li Xunzhuo was afraid that his wife would be too idle and disturb his daughter's son-in-law's wedding life, so he chose to diligently run to Huansiyuan. Although Su has been sent away, Huansiyuan now has a younger and beautiful fragrance than Su. More importantly, the fragrance is as gentle and considerate as Su, but stronger and more tolerant than Su, and will not cry and be jealous. Seeing that the young concubine was so considerate and advised him to go back to Xiyuan and Ling, Li Xunzhuo spoiled her more.
Sure enough, this move immediately diverted Ling's attention and began to rectify the family trend, for fear of spoiling the second Su family.
Just as the rumors in Beijing were flying, the arrival of General Dingxi stopped the chaos, and everyone's attention was focused on him, but more curious about his general's wife who had never appeared.
It is said that Xin Maoshan, the general of Dingxi, married Qiang, the daughter of the head of the Rob clan, and was almost driven out of the genealogy by the Xin family, because the Xin family thought that the Qiang family was too beautiful and feared of misfortune. However, Xin Maoshan was so angry that Xin Maoshan's father wanted to strangle the rebellious son with his own hands. Later, no one knew how to make Xin Maoshan's parents agree. However, there is humanity. Part of the reason why the emperor let Xin Maoshan be stationed in the north of Sichuan is from the Qiang clan.
The Rob people live on the White Mountain in northern Sichuan and belong to the Qing Dynasty. Most of the men and women in the clan make a living by collecting medicine, hunting and divination. It is said that the Rob people are all handsome, but they will turn into foxes on the full night of the 15th, endangering the world. I have never seen harm to the world, but when I see a fox on the White Mountain, most people will habitually acquiesce that it is the incarnation of a Rob people. Fox has always described beautiful women, and Qiang, who is the daughter of the head of the Rob clan, is particularly amazing. Her face, hair and pupils are different from those of the Central Plains, which makes people see the possibility of losing their souls.
People in northern Sichuan, who are used to seeing General Dingxi's wife, said that the so-called transformation of a fox is just a praise of the beauty of Rob women, and they will get used to it if they see too much. To say that it is beautiful, it is beautiful to be crowned as the princess of Anxi by the emperor. Compared with the enchanting and charming appearance of her mother Qiang, she inherited some of the toughness and heroic posture of Xinmaoshan that belongs to the Central Plains.
Xin Zixuan, who is the same as a fellow, looks like her sister. Although she is also a beautiful woman, her hair and eyes are no different from her father, so she makes Liu feel more at ease.
Unfortunately, those who wanted to see Qiang's beauty were disappointed. She covered her face with a veil from head to end and didn't say much. On the contrary, the beauty of the young man beside him made everyone's eyes fall out. If it weren't for his tall figure and Hong Zhuo's voice, no one would doubt it.
"Five Women! Five ladies! Really, that man is very good-looking, more beautiful than the beauty in the painting, such as red lips and white teeth, closed moon shy flowers, and immortals who come down to the earth, all of which can be used to say that he will not be excessive!" The child's little face turned red excitedly, and her eyes flashed brightly, which touched her nerves more than seeing gold, silver and jewelry. Just being stared at by him, I felt that I couldn't breathe. Those eyes seemed to eat people. If I was accidentally seen by him, I would tremble all over, but I couldn't help secretly look at them again.
Shaohua sat on the dressing table and listened to Youhan describe Youning's appearance excitedly. Looking at Youning in the mirror, Shaohua could only sigh deeply in her heart from her confused and stupid appearance, and the disaster finally came.
After listening for a long time, he only heard Youhan talking about how beautiful General Xi's son Xin Youning is, how beautiful his eyes are, like a talking black pearl, and how white and tender skin is attached, just like white snow falling red plums, cold and enchanting. It seems that there is no other content except this. She couldn't help frowning and said, "The fifth lady asked you to inquire about the news, and you heard this?"
It's just a man. No matter how beautiful she is, she can be more beautiful than a woman.
"You didn't see it. I promise, if you take a look at it, you will forget everything." The young Han's face was soaring that he defended it.
"I'm not like you. The young lady is already a rare beauty in Beijing. Can she be more beautiful than her?" In Chu He's mind, Xin Zixuan's appearance is the first in the world. Although his wife is also good-looking, she can't compare with Xin Zixuan.
Unexpectedly, the young man nodded like pounding garlic, "It's much more beautiful than the young lady." In fact, she also admitted Xin Zixuan's beauty, but when she took a look at You Ning, she felt that the world was more beautiful.
"How can it be? It's just a Langjun, and he can still look better than his wife." Chu He obviously doesn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can see!" The young patted his chest and guaranteed it.
Shaohua sighed and said that these two girls have also been a little presumptuous recently. Unexpectedly, they praised others for being good-looking and still a Langjun. Although she knows how Youning looks, she can't compare with her current appearance.
"Cough!" Shaohua deliberately reminded them that the master was still in front of them, and the two immediately bowed their heads to listen to the lecture. Shaohua opened his mouth for a long time, and his voice was trembling and hoarse when he made a sound. "Accompany me out and have a look."
Young Han's eyes lit up, nodded hurriedly, and quickly helped Shao Hua up, but he didn't know that she was not excited because of the arrival of You Ning, but General Dingxi and others.
Finally wait for them!
