Chapter 1477
Thinking of the lawless Zhennan Palace, the emperor's face was ashen, and his chest was violently heaving.
The emperor hurriedly drank a few sips of soothing tea, and his mind was calmed down a little.
When things developed to this situation, as the emperor, he had to ease the situation in Dayu as soon as possible, so he thought of the idea that Han Lingfu put forward in the morning in July - let the eldest daughter of Zhennan Wangfu and kiss Xiye.
At that time, when the emperor first heard this proposal, the emperor thought it was a bit ridiculous and didn't take it to heart... But now that I think about it, it's a good time. Once the eldest daughter of Zhennan Wangfu kisses Xiye, then he can immediately Recall the Southern Border Army, disintegrate the alliance between the Southern Border Army and Han Huaijun, and let this unsatisfactory nephew take a good look. Zhennan Wangfu is just so virtuous!
Who would have thought that before the marriage was completed, Han Huaijun actually defected, being unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust. He really was not worthy of being a child of his Han family, and he wasted all his hard work on him!
Thinking about it, the fire in the emperor's heart, which was finally quenched by half a cup of soothing tea, ignited again, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Imperial Father..." Han Lingfan couldn't see that the emperor's expression was wrong, he frowned slightly, and wanted to intercede for Han Huaijun, but the emperor didn't want to listen to him anymore.
"Little Wu, you step back!"
The emperor's voice was light, with a hint of tiredness, but there was no doubt about it.
"Yes, the emperor..." Han Lingfan had to bow and step back. When he stepped out of the threshold of the imperial study, he vaguely heard the emperor's somewhat eager voice coming from behind:
"Come on! Give me an audience with Duke Xuan Gong!"
Han Lingfan paused for a moment outside the imperial study, looked up at the west-slanting sun in the sky, and sighed faintly.
As the sun goes down, the way of heaven.
These eight words appeared in his heart, making Han Lingfan's mood even heavier.
After leaving the imperial study, Han Lingfan did not return to his bedroom, but hurried to Fengluan Palace.
Not to mention the fact that he was reprimanded by the emperor, Han Lingfan sent a 800-mile expedited document from Xijiang and told the queen one by one the military situation stated in it...
Even though the Empress had experienced many ups and downs over the years, she was unavoidably shocked on the spot at this moment.
How did that happen? !
Han Huaijun was the emperor's nephew, and he had the military exploits in defeating Chang Di back then, so he was highly regarded by the emperor. With his status, there is no need to fight for anything, as long as he is loyal to the king, his future will not be bad.
This time, Han Huaijun led his troops to the Western Frontier. Although it was a little risky, it was also a huge opportunity.
It is conceivable that once the peace is negotiated with Xiye, Han Huai-jun will definitely be awarded the title and even lead an army alone. In the future, he will definitely become Han Lingfan's right-hand man...
I didn't expect it! I really did not expect that Han Huaijun, such a big man, acted so unsteadily, and he dared to defect to Dayu!
The queen closed her eyes, only feeling exhausted and powerless.
Defection is a serious crime, even if his surname is Han, he cannot escape!
This is not a crime that can be "repented"!
Since then, Dayu has no place for his Han Huaijun.
His life is considered a waste, not only himself, but also his wife, his family...
"A-Jun...he...how could he be so stupid!" The Queen murmured with a pale face, not knowing whether it was pity or anger.
Han Lingfan clenched his fists and said slowly: "Empress mother, my son always feels that there must be a secret in this..."
The cousin Jun he knew was a real warrior, how could he have killed the envoy Xiye and defected to Dayu for no reason!
The queen quickly calmed down a lot, and said solemnly, "Fan Er, it doesn't matter if there are any hidden secrets in the matter..." No matter what the process was, the result was that Han Huaijun had already defected. There is no doubt that the cause and effect of it will be the same. I can't even tell...
Hey, her Fan Er always thinks about people's good, this is an advantage, but for the prince, this is too dangerous!
The Empress sighed, turned her words, and asked, "Fan Er, do you think your father has just summoned your third brother?"
"Yes, mother." Han Lingfan nodded in response.
"..." The queen's eyes were dark and she pursed her lips. The emperor summoned Han Lingfu at this time obviously to ask for his opinion. The empress had no choice but to pay attention to it... I didn't expect that even a scandal like "a good friend" could not destroy Han Lingfu!
As Han Lingfu had guessed, the matter of "being a good friend" was indeed spread under the arrangement of the queen.
The queen wanted to use this to make Han Lingfu's reputation flawed, to make him bear the crime of bullying the emperor, and to make the emperor feel that for the sake of his position as the heir, he would do anything to confuse the royal blood!
The emperor could not tolerate such a scandal, but he didn't expect that Han Lingfu did not know what means to use, and he even talked to the emperor with a few words, regained the emperor's trust, and even had the momentum of overpowering Xiao Wu...
Thinking about it, the queen's face became even colder, and her fists were clenched in her sleeves. She wouldn't let Han Lingfu slip through so easily... This matter isn't over yet!
Han Lingfan, who was on the side, didn't know the Queen's thoughts, and only thought that she was worried about Han Huaijun. He frowned and said, "Empress mother, my son is more worried about Cousin Xi now. Cousin Xi is still in the capital, and now that cousin Jun has defected, the son is afraid that the father and emperor may anger Cousin Xi... Queen mother, we are Why don't you send someone to inform your grandfather and grandmother immediately?"
correct! I almost forgot their Xier! Only then did the queen think of Jiang Yixi, and after she settled down, she raised her voice: "Xueqin, wait for the pen and ink!"
Following that, the queen quickly handwritten a secret letter and handed it over to Xueqin, instructing her to bring it to Mrs. Enguo in person.
"Yes, the Empress." Xueqin hurried away.
Leaving the queen mother and son relatively speechless for a while, whether it was the queen or the fifth prince, there was an ominous premonition in their hearts.
In the silence, the air in Fengluan Palace became more and more dignified, showing an impending storm...
More than half an hour later, Duke Enguo hurriedly entered the palace and went to the imperial study room to ask to see the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor. The elderly Duke Enguo knelt outside the imperial study room and refused to leave.
"Your Majesty, the grandfather is still kneeling outside..." Eunuch Liu cautiously entered the imperial study and said, Duke Enguo is already over sixty years old, and kneeling down for a long time may not be able to bear it.
There was only the emperor in the imperial study at the moment, and Han Lingfu had already left.
The emperor's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. What he thought in his mind was the consolation from Han Lingfu just now:
"Han Huai-jun made such a huge mistake, and the son-in-law is also to blame... If the son-in-law still stayed in the western border, the situation would not have developed to this point..."
"This is the fault of Han Huai-jun alone. Please don't blame the King Qi's mansion. My son believes that the uncle of King Qi has always been loyal to the father and the court. And the Jiang family, who is married to a non-human person is not what she wants, please. For the sake of the mother and the queen and the Duke of Enguo..."
Thinking about it, the corner of the emperor's mouth drew a mocking arc and snorted coldly. It's still the little three who has a heart, and still thinks about the relationship of relatives, but I don't know that this person's heart is unpredictable...
Husband and wife are of the same heart, and Han Huaijun defected, how could Jiang shi not know about it, she did not report it when she knew it, it was clearly the lax goddaughter of the Duke Enguo, and she was to blame!
The emperor's eyebrows were tangled together, and he sneered: "Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel!"
This "he" refers of course to Duke Enguo.
Eunuch Liu bowed his body even lower, and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, a small servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Hanlin is here."
The Huang Hanlin mentioned by the little waiter was Huang Hetai, the first-ranking scholar who was appointed by the Emperor Enke's palace examination last year. Huang Hetai is not the first champion of the emperor, but he is the one who impressed the emperor the most. His undoubted talent and learning completely quelled the scandal of Enke's fraud last year, so that the emperor's political achievements will not leave a huge stain. , so the emperor gave him a good evaluation, and felt that this person was not only a Wenqu star, but also a lucky star.
After the palace exam last year, Huang Hetai was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Because he was young and promising, he was outstanding in learning, and the emperor often called him to attend the study.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then remembered that today was the day when Huang Hetai came to read for him every three days.
He hesitated for a moment, but still gave the word "Xuan".
Soon, a young man in his twenties with a plain appearance was attracted by the little maid. Although it was a cold December winter, he was wearing only a thin cyan silk robe and walked like a flying arrow.
Different from the respectful looks of other ministers, this young man exudes a wild and unrestrained arrogance, with a free and easy as if nothing in the world is worth mentioning.
Who doesn't have the time when they were young in fresh clothes and angry horses! The emperor looked at the young champion, his gloomy face softened a little.
"See the emperor." Huang Hetai bowed to the emperor, his attitude like a pine and cypress was respectful, but not humble.
The emperor motioned him to waive the ceremony and gave him a seat.
Huang Hetai sat down in his robe, and glanced at the messy bookcase on the desk without any trace of his eyes, and remained calm.
"Your Majesty, today I will continue to talk about the "Biography of Famous Officials", and the Cheng Dynasty has forgiven me." Huang Hetai looked at the emperor without squinting and said loudly, "Last time I said that Cheng Xuanzong was on a personal expedition and was captured by the Bai Di barbarians, and the Cheng Dynasty was at stake. When the news reached the capital, Zeng Liang, a civil servant, was ordered to lead 200,000 troops to fight against Bai Di's 25th army. After Bai Di was defeated, he released the captured Cheng Xuanzong. However, the new emperor Cheng Daizong had already succeeded the throne. There are naturally no two masters in a country, and Cheng Xuanzong, who returned to the country, became the Taishanghuang and was placed under house arrest in the palace. After that, Zeng Liang assisted the Chao Gang, rectified the border affairs, and made the border peaceful for more than ten years, until after the restoration of Cheng Xuanzong, Zeng Liang was arrested. Traitor framed, and finally died of injustice..."
Huang and Tai's clear and clear voices echoed in the imperial study, and occasionally commented a few words in the middle, very casual, but occasionally had original opinions.
The emperor was fascinated, and said in his heart: Studying history is to learn from history, and there is a saying that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall". If Cheng Xuanzong hadn't learned the Taizu to expel the Tartars, and he would drive his own expedition to fight against Bai Di, what would it be? As for being captured by Bai Di, how could there be a matter of becoming the emperor in the future, and how could he be placed under house arrest in the palace for nearly ten years!
Fortunately, in the end, the chaos was put in order! Thinking about it, the emperor sighed with emotion and sigh.
"Why does the emperor sigh?" Huang Hetai asked suddenly, "Is the emperor worried about the Western Border recently?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his brows that had been relieved a little were wrinkled again, and his mind was full at this moment.
Although many people have said that Huang Hanlin is arrogant in front of him, but according to him, this young man is quite a celebrity, and his words and deeds are consistent, and he is a true temperament.
Not like some people!
A lot of things flashed through the emperor's mind in an instant. Huang Hanlin's words have always been meaningful, and his opinions are often very appealing to him, so it's okay to talk to him.
"Exactly. Huang Aiqing, today I just received a book from Weiyuanhou from Xijiang..."
The emperor came slowly and quietly. At the same time as he spoke, the little maid served Huang and Tai with tea. The sound of pouring water mixed with the emperor's narration. When it reached the outside of the house, almost nothing could be heard. .
The two little servants bowed quietly and stood guard outside the imperial study, while Duke Enguo knelt there motionless, his old face lowered and silent...
The sun slanted more and more westward, and the red blood-like color exuded an ominous aura.
On that day, when the sun was about to set, the emperor's decree was sent to the palace of Qi Wang by several angels, angering Qi Wang's impropriety, unreasonable behavior, and incompetent teaching of his son, so that the Han family was shamed and ordered to surrender the prince. For the king of the county.
Then, in the imperial decree, the emperor accused Han Huaijun of betraying the emperor and betraying the country, intending to provoke a war between the two countries.
As soon as the imperial decree came out, there was an uproar in Qi Wangfu, and Princess Qi was so annoyed that she fainted directly. I just hope this is a nightmare...
The queen in the palace soon got the news, and immediately sent Mammy Li to tell the matter to Duke En Guo, who was still kneeling outside the imperial study. gone.
The imperial decree has been issued, and if he kneels down again, there is no point in it!
This incident not only shocked Qi Wangfu and Enguo Gongfu, but it didn't take long for the matter to spread like wild grass. No matter the nobles or the common people, they all knew that Han Huaijun betrayed the Qi Wangfu, the court and the entire capital. As if struck by thunder...
Immediately afterwards, the Qi Wang Mansion made waves again.
A piece of news came out from the Prince Qi's mansion like an arrow from the string, and quickly entered the mansion and the palace of the Duke of Enguo.
I heard that Han Huaijun's wife, Mrs. Jiang, hanged herself to protect her dignity!
This is actually to be expected. Once the female relatives of the official family are demoted to official slaves and prostitutes, in order to leave this world innocently, in order to keep the last part of their dignity, the Metropolis will choose to hang themselves...
For a while, the already chaotic situation in the capital city was shaken again, as if something suddenly fell into the lake, causing the lake to rippling and unable to calm down for a long time...
However, for the far-flung southern border, this turbulence had no impact at all.
In the Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue was leaning against the window of the inner room to read the flying pigeon biography sent by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yu was sleeping unconsciously on the small bed beside him. In the inner room, there were only mother and son. .
Xiao Yi sent a thick stack of letters. He has been writing every day since he left Luoyue City.
As in the past, his letters are not like letters, but more like records of his own daily life. As long as he finds it interesting, he will write a bunch of them.
For example, what he saw along the way, even if he saw a rare bird, he would write a few strokes. When the mood came, he would draw the bird in three or two strokes, and by the way, he would praise his little one. Gray is more heroic and vigorous than other birds.
Nangong Yue looked at the concisely drawn but somewhat charming bird in the corner of the stationery, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth... After a while, she moved her fingers and turned to the next one.
This is……
Nangong Yue was stunned, this one is not a text, but a drawing of a fat doll, with a cat hat on her bulging head, and a pair of peach blossom eyes so familiar...
It's Xiao Xiaoyu.
The smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, revealing a shallow smile, and she continued to look down.
Xiao Yi said that he had a dream about her and the brat last night, and asked her if the brat was obedient? Will you walk now? How many more words will you say?
Nangong Yue answered these questions one after another in her heart, her eyes shone brightly, as if she was talking to Xiao Yi, and her heart was excited.
"babble……"
As if he had a good heart, the little guy moaned softly from the direction of the cot. Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw that the little guy was rubbing his eyes with his little fleshy fist, obviously waking up.
As long as the little guy wakes up, he must see himself. Nangong Yue hurried over and hugged the little guy before he cried.
After Xiaorou Tuan's dark eyes fixed on his mother, he pursed his lips and smiled. He hadn't fully woken up yet, and Nangongyue's naive appearance was rare, so he simply wrapped him in a small cloak, and then He took her to the window and sat down, reading his father's letter with her.
The little guy saw the silk paper with the fat doll on the top of the letter at a glance, and looked at it curiously.
Nangong Yue pointed at the fat baby above with a smile and said, "This is Brother Yu."
Every day, Nangong Yue would point to the objects in the room and impatiently teach Xiao Yu to recognize things. The little guy blinked and seemed to understand. He pointed at the fat doll on the paper and called out "Yu Yu". , as if to say, that's me! that's me!
Nangong Yue laughed and handed the piece of silk paper into his little fleshy paw. After the little guy pinched the silk paper, he finally showed a bright smile and looked at the painting carefully with wide eyes.
Nangong Yue held the little guy's chubby waist in one hand, and held the letters behind him in the other, and continued to watch...
After flipping through two more pieces of letter paper, Yuan Lingbai's name began to appear frequently in Xiao Yi's letters, and Nangongyue could see a smile from time to time, and then there was Privy City...
Since the invasion of Prie City on November 24th, the content of the letter is mainly based on the battle situation.
Nangong Yue didn't feel that the speed of reading the letter was slowing down, as if she wanted to find out the words that Xiao Yi had concealed.
On November 25th, Xiao Yi asked Wenxili to bring the war book to the Western Night King...
After Xiao Yi captured the city of Puri, three days later, on November 28, he took the city of Zihan again, and then repeated the old tricks to send the defeated general of the city of Zihan as a gauntlet. A Tongzheng City, indicating that he will attack the city in three days...
I heard that in just a few days, the name Xiao Yi has been known to everyone in Xiye.
I heard that the King of Xiye had already sent 10,000 reinforcements to the southeastern border of Xiye. Presumably, when she received the letter, the reinforcements were almost there.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue's fingers couldn't help but exert a little force, and then her eyes fell on the last line of the letter—
"The plan is going well, Ayue, I'll be back soon!"
Nangong Yue stared at the line for a while, her eyes almost crazy.
Her Ah Yi promises her what she will do!
She just needs to wait patiently for her Yi to come home...
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's expression became incomparably soft, like a spring breeze turning into rain.
After a while, she came back to her senses and carefully put away all the letters one by one, but she encountered unprecedented obstacles when packing the last one.
The little guy felt that he was drawn on this piece of paper, so of course it should belong to him, and Xiaorou clenched his fists tightly and refused to let go.
Of course, the strength of Xiao Yu, who is under one year old, is impossible to compare with his mother, but the problem is that the silk paper is too fragile, and Nangong Yue is afraid that if you use too much force, the silk paper will break... and the little guy will cry.
Seeing the little guy staring at him with his bright, lacquered eyes, Nangong Yue let go of his hand helplessly and amusedly, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Brother Yu, do you want to? Take your father's letter and give it to him when your father comes back?"
Xiao Xiaoyu seemed to know that her mother had compromised, and kissed her on the corner of the mouth, and then laughed again "giggling", her eyes narrowed into crescent-like smiles, and her mother was fascinated again.
The inner room was filled with the brisk laughter of the mother and son. You and I were saying the same thing as the chicken and the duck... Before I knew it, the setting sun had already set a little in the western sky.
A crisp sound of picking the curtain suddenly sounded, and Baihui walked in quickly, and said in a hurry, "Concubine Shi, it's not good, the five girls are gone!"
The room was instantly silent.
