Chapter 23: Nothing to do with the wind and the moon
And this second thing is still related to the Ziyi Hou who returned without a trace.
The Marquis in Purple Clothes is back. Not only is he back, but he has also been taken directly to Fengqi Palace where only the Queen can live. This is incredible. The ministers and people have speculated that Your Majesty may intend to make the Marquis in Purple Clothes his queen.
For a time, the ministers who had a daughter in the family who wanted to be sent to the palace to fight for the throne suddenly panicked and hurriedly signed a letter to list the reasons why the eight princes in purple clothes were not qualified to be the queen. Unexpectedly, His Majesty glanced with a sneer, and those who were the queen the next day
The ministers were impeached by the major historians on eight major crimes, and before they had time to complain, they were immediately removed from office.
As for the third thing, His Majesty’s three-year talent show has arrived. Anyone who is over 16 years old and under 18 years old can participate as long as they meet the conditions. For a time, those girls who have longed for the deep palace
Some of them had the heart to fly to the branches as phoenixes, or some were ordered by their families to go to Chang'an to run for office with all their strength.
Nowadays, the streets of Chang'an are full of beauties, which is a feast for the eyes at a glance.
On the wall of the Dewu Gate of the Imperial Palace, the imperial guards pasted a new list of beautiful ladies.
As soon as the imperial guards left, the maids, wives, and servants who had been sent to check by their masters hurriedly gathered around. Some of them jumped for joy when they saw the ones without their masters' names, and some of them danced with joy when they saw the ones with their masters' names.
, and left dejectedly.
In the crowd, there was a pretty little maid at the front, her eyes moving straight on the notice. She thought there was no name of her master, and she was secretly rejoicing. Suddenly, when she saw her master's name at the end, her expression changed.
He suddenly turned pale.
It's over, her young lady has lost the election.
Not far from the crowd, there was an ordinary ordinary carriage parked inconspicuously. The carriage was surrounded by bamboo curtains and there were two men standing outside the carriage, both dressed as followers. Their eyes were wary of the surroundings, as if they were protecting the carriage.
people within.
After a while, the little maid in the crowd ran back.
The maid stood respectfully outside the carriage. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered to the master in the carriage: "Miss, I am on the list." The maid did not dare to say that she was not selected.
There was silence in the carriage, and I don't know how long it took before a cold female voice came from inside: "I ordered people to pack their things and go back to Danzhou."
"Yes, I will go immediately."
The breeze came slowly, and there was already a chill on the little maid's back.
The person in the car was none other than Xie Jiaren, the fourth girl from the Xie family in Danzhou.
Half a year ago, she refused to marry a merchant in Taohua Town, Qizhou, just to wait for Chang'an's three-year selection. She is a well-known talented woman in Danzhou, with a beautiful appearance, and she is waiting to be with the king for nine days.
On the other hand, for this reason, Xie Jia was willing to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and tampering with her age, but she never expected that she would be rejected in the first round.
This was definitely a fatal blow to Xie Siniang, whose heart was as high as the sky. But no matter how unwilling she was to give in, the pride in her bones would never be allowed to be revealed in front of her servants.
She thanked Siniang and would never admit defeat.
In the Longyin Palace.
The young emperor was half leaning on the elegant soft couch, listening to the beauty behind the beaded curtain playing a pipa tune. When Chang Qing led the southern general Bu Qingfeng in, Liu Fan raised his cold eyes and waved, and all the maids around him
He immediately retreated silently.
"Zhang Jingya sent you here this time to warn me?"
Bu Qingfeng paid homage, knelt straight in front of the dragon couch, with a cold face, and replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, General Zhennan learned that Your Majesty has placed Concubine Zhao under house arrest, and specifically asked the last general to come and inform Your Majesty that Concubine Zhao is not without a maternal clan.
, Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."
Think twice?
"What a loud tone." Liu Fan sneered from the corner of his mouth and asked casually: "Bu Qingfeng, how many more troops can Zhang Jingya gather with the military talisman in his hand?"
"The return to Your Majesty is less than 50,000. Twenty thousand of them are Mrs. Zhennan's dowry soldiers, and they are now under the command of her son Zhang Shiqiu. After the last general asked someone to secretly inform him about Concubine Zhao, Zhang Shiqiu expressed his willingness to listen to your Majesty's orders, but he
I only hope that Your Majesty can fulfill my wish."
They are all old acquaintances, so it's easy to guess what Zhang Shiqiu is asking for.
Liu Fan raised his eyes and asked, "Does he want to see Zi Yihou?"
"Yes." Bu Qingfeng nodded, his expression indifferent and cold.
"Go back and tell him that he is not the only one who wants to see Zi Yihou, I want to see him too!"
In this world, he had people search all over the country, including the mountains and rivers, and the surrounding countries. No matter whether it was the bright moon in the south, the Qiang or the gold in the north, he had to dig three feet into the ground, but he could not find her, as if she had disappeared from the world.
To say that she is still alive seems to be deceiving herself.
Bu Qingfeng raised his head. The loneliness in the young emperor's tone made his cold eyes flash for a moment, and he finally lowered his head and became silent.
There is some affection in this world, and it has nothing to do with romance.
.
Since the founding of Daqi, there have been 200,000 troops protecting the country on each of the northern and southern borders. The southern border is guarded by the Langyue Kingdom, which has been stationary, while the northern border is confronted by the Qiang and Jin Kingdom, who have been eyeing Daqi.
Qi's territory carries heavy responsibilities, and it is also the fortress area that Daqi attaches most importance to in its history.
Especially in the northern border, where there is smoke, wind and sand, the conditions are several times more difficult than in the southern border.
Fortunately, the king of Zhenbei, Li Zhong, was a life-and-death brother of the late emperor. He was loyal to Daqi and also to the emperor. However, Zhang Jingya, the general of Zhennan, had dissent after the death of the late emperor. He began to support his troops and respect himself.
The posture of self-proclaimed king. Fortunately, the late emperor had the foresight to realize that the old man could not be trusted, and secretly arranged for several groups of people to enter the southern military camp in the early years. After a few years, most of the soldiers in the southern border were no longer casual soldiers except for the emperor's personal orders.
Can be dispatched.
The general election was about to pass, and the old lady of General Yu's Mansion in Chang'an also rushed to send people to the northern border to pick him up.
In Qingyun Palace.
Since the master of Qingyun Palace fell out of favor and His Majesty ordered him to be placed under house arrest, many servants have been accustomed to following the wind. It is already noon, and the palace is deserted. There is not even a maid delivering lunch.
"Your Majesty, these bunch of slaves are nothing. I went to the imperial kitchen to get my Majesty's food. They said every word with sarcasm and ridicule, and the things they gave me were leftovers from other palace masters. What do you think of this, my Majesty?
Eat it!" The palace maid who spoke said angrily while taking out the food from the food box and placing it on the table.
Back then, who would have dared to treat her master so badly? They were a bunch of scoundrels who were accustomed to adding insult to injury.
Beside the pear wood round table, the woman had her loose sleeves folded up. Her delicate face was unpainted and she looked slightly haggard. She glanced coldly at the porridge and side dishes and a cold steamed bun on the table, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
In her whole life, Zhao Yin had lived in rough clothing and simple food, and had enjoyed glory and wealth, but what did she see before her?
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Emperor is going to Fengqi Palace every day. The ladies in each palace are speculating that Your Majesty really wants the one from Fengqi Palace to be your queen!" This maid, Wan Xin, was brought into the palace by Zhao Yin from the private sector.
, knowing that you and your master are both prosperous and destructive, so you are still loyal to her. When I mentioned the person from Fengqi Palace, I just heard that my master knew that young man, and I wanted to see if I could please him.
Hearing this, the sneer on Zhao Yin's lips deepened.
Whether there is anyone hiding in Fengqi Palace, others don't know, but she knows it very well. She poisoned the Ziyi Hou with her own hands, and she also pushed the body into the crocodile pit. There were no bones left and he was buried in the belly of the fish. How can there be anything in this world?
What kind of purple robes are there?
Haha! Liu Fan, Liu Fan, no matter how good you are at this move, what if Wu Zhui betrayed me? As long as General Zhennan is here, you will not dare to touch me, and Xie Tie will never come back.
Seeing that the empress was silent, Wan Xin did not dare to say anything more. After setting the dishes and chopsticks, she quietly left.
In the empty palace, Zhao Yin raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen with a sinister look in her eyes: "Don't worry, my child, my mother will send more younger brothers and sisters to accompany you. My son is not afraid."
A few months ago, she was slightly drunk. When she woke up, her clothes were messy and her whole body ached. Liu Fan stood aside and stared at her with a half-smile. She was filled with joy and thought that he was finally willing to touch her. The moment she found out that she was pregnant,
She ridiculously felt that she at least had some status in his heart. But he cruelly told her that the person she had sex with on the bed that night was Prince Kang, which was more painful than killing her with a sword.
She loved him so much that she even gave up her self-respect and conscience, yet he was so cruel to her!
Liu Fan, since you were the first to be ruthless, don't blame me for being unscrupulous.
Her fingertips dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.
…
North border, Huangsha Village.
Sanniang made an appointment with Xiaobaoniang and Cui Niuniang to go to the market today. As soon as she led Xuanxuan out, she was stopped by Yu Shan with a look of hatred on her face.
This is, you want to knock on the door?
Yu Shan didn't wear any military clothes today. She changed into a long green skirt with lapels, and she seemed to have specially applied makeup. She was already much taller than Sanniang, and looking down at her with low eyebrows, she looked like a rich lady.
group.
When he saw Sanniang coming out, he secretly looked at her with hatred, then knelt down in front of Sanniang and begged, "Please, sister, let Brother Wei and I be together."
Complete?
Sanniang was stunned for a moment, her expression turned slightly cold after she understood what he meant.
Yu Shan hated the woman in front of her to the core. If someone from the Yu family hadn't come to pick her up, she would never have come to this woman. But she didn't want to enter the palace. For this reason, the only way to do this was when people from the Yu family arrived.
In front of the camp, she committed herself to others. But she was not willing to commit herself to others. She was happy with Brother Wei, and for Brother Wei, she was willing to accept him even if he was an equal wife.
"If my sister doesn't want to fulfill her wish, Yu Shan will kneel here forever and not be able to afford it."
Can't afford to kneel down? Do you want to threaten her?
Sanniang frowned, and when the women passing by saw it, they also gathered around him out of curiosity.
"Sanniang, she is..."
Xiao Baoniang and Cui Niuniang looked at Sanniang worriedly.
Frowning slightly, Sanniang smiled at them, lowered her eyes and glanced at the person kneeling in front of her. She didn't want to pay attention to it, and took Xuan Xuan to leave. Seeing that she was unmoved, Yu Shan gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
Chapter completed!
