Chapter 138: Heading to the Great Ningwei
Yesterday afternoon, Prince Su received a letter saying that the eldest son of Prince Jing, Li Zhu, Prince Su's crown prince, Li Zhao, and a member of the Jinyiwei family, worked together to capture several mob leaders in the Haituoling area a few days ago.
, and several Tatars were also captured.
This means that Tatar forces were involved in this riot to sow discord.
Now these few people who colluded with foreign enemies to stir up riots are on their way back to Beijing.
The suppression of the mob has entered the final stage. Due to the drought this spring, life on the grasslands has been difficult, and the Tatars are ready to make a move. Li Zhao wrote to the emperor, requesting that more troops be sent to the Haituoling area of Baoding to prevent changes.
While Li Hu was chasing the riot leader who was fleeing abroad, he was accidentally wounded by a fire cannon.
After investigation with the assistance of the Jin Yiwei, it turned out that Master Han, the commander of the Daning Guard stationed in Baoding, not only secretly hid firearms and crossbows, but also secretly sold these weapons to the Tatars and Jurchens!
When the emperor saw Li Zhao's report, he almost lost his breath and had a stroke. He had a headache so much that he couldn't steady his body and actually fell off the throne.
The emperor immediately ordered that Commander Han be dismissed from his post and investigated. All the generals of the Daning Guard were arrested one by one and escorted back to the capital to await their fate.
Of course, the mansions of these generals were also ransacked by the Jin Yiwei that night, and their families must have been doomed. The men were either executed after the fall, or exiled to the army, and the women were made into slaves and prostitutes. Within the three clans, the whole family, young and old, jointly and severally
Not one of the maids and women in the family was spared.
It is said that it was for a few children and female dependents who escaped. Generally speaking, in this case, the emperor would not chase after a few female dependents and children.
But this time it was different. When Song Qingyue took Meng Wanfeng out of the city, she found that martial law had been imposed in the capital. On the streets of the city, pairs of guards in golden uniforms were arresting people with portraits. It was obvious that the emperor was very angry this time.
He could allow princes to fight for power and turn a blind eye to corruption among officials, but he would never tolerate those who colluded with foreign enemies.
The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and Song Qingyue heard the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for the interrogation outside the carriage talking politely to Feng Qi and Feng Jiu.
It was a very young voice: "It's convenient for you two sisters. It's true that the Holy Father got very angry yesterday and summoned Commander Feng into the palace in the middle of the night. Not only us, but also the Dongchang gang.
People are also moving."
Feng Qi was a little dissatisfied: "Look carefully, this is the carriage of Prince Su's Palace, and the Crown Princess of Prince Su is sitting in it! Could it be that the Crown Princess is hiding criminals secretly?"
"Good sister, I didn't say that, but we don't dare to disobey the orders from above. Just take a look! It's just a formality!" said the Jin Yiwei with a good temper.
Feng Qi still didn't seem to agree. At this time, Song Qingyue stood up, took the initiative to lift the curtain, and said: "Feng Qi, forget it, these adults have been busy since last night, no wonder it's not easy, just take a look, we can't
Don’t make things difficult for others.”
The leading imperial guard did not expect that the Crown Princess would take the initiative to open the curtain and come out. He quickly saluted and said: "I cannot be called an adult. I pay my respects to the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess be safe!"
Song Qingyue lowered her head and looked down, then laughed: "This is Mr. Feng? Why did you come to the city gate in person to check today? Thank you for your hard work!"
The Jin Yiwei was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, clasping his fists and saying, "It turns out that the Crown Princess recognizes me. She is really lucky to be here in the next three lifetimes."
Song Qingyue simply helped open the curtain of the carriage, pointed at Meng Wanfeng and said: "This is Miss Meng, who is engaged to the eldest son of Prince Jing's palace. Have you heard about it?"
The young Jinyiwei surnamed Feng looked around the carriage carefully and then clasped his fist at Meng Wanfeng: "Miss Meng, I have offended you so much."
Meng Wanfeng smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter."
"Okay, I've seen it, thank you Princess for your help." The guard in gilded clothes cupped his hand.
Song Qingyue said: "Master Feng is so polite when it comes to asking for help. Since it is an order from the Holy One, even the palace should abide by it."
The young Jin Yiwei sighed, straightened his back with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "It would be great if everyone thought like the Crown Princess."
After Song Qingyue returned to the carriage and sat down, the carriage and the palace soldiers slowly started to move.
Feng Jin silently watched the convoy go away with his hands behind his back. Xu Bin, the guard beside him, looked at him looking at the carriage with a straight face and said, "Fourth Young Master, are you okay?"
Feng Jin withdrew his gaze and asked a little abruptly: "Do you have any other sisters in Princess Su's natal family?"
The attendant Xu Bin laughed out loud, "The Crown Princess also has two concubine sisters, one is three years younger than her, and the other is ten years younger than her."
"That's a bit too small." Feng Jin frowned.
"Fourth Young Master, do you feel sorry?"
Recalling the moment when she opened the door curtain, she looked so beautiful and charming, as if a bright spring light suddenly shone into people's hearts.
Feng Jin said a little helplessly: "I didn't feel anything when I didn't see it, but now that I have seen it, I really feel a bit regretful."
Speaking of beauties, Xu Bin's gossip soul ignited: "Those sisters in the Song family are all very beautiful, and so is the Crown Princess. She is like a fairy. It is said that Crown Prince Su fell in love with her at first sight, and it was not her.
No, I even made a fuss with His Highness Prince Su in order to marry her as his concubine. It seems that what he said is true."
Feng Jin smiled noncommittally: "Who knows."
His Royal Highness King Su and Song Ge Lao have been together in Lingnan for more than ten years. Who knows what happened?
Judging from a Jinyiwei's sense of smell, there must be something going on here.
It's just that my father is a cautious and gentle man who doesn't easily cause trouble.
No matter how many princes fight, the Feng family never helps anyone, and no one wants to offend anyone. At this juncture, the Feng family is indeed not suitable for marriage with the Song family. It must be the father who made the decision and rejected this marriage.
Family affairs.
It was a pity that his beautiful future wife was gone for nothing. Feng Jin sighed and shook his head.
After several interrogations, the convoy of Prince Su's Mansion finally left the city smoothly. Meng Wanfeng asked: "The surname of the Jinyi Guard just now is Feng? The person who has the courage to come to check the frame of the Prince's Mansion, could it be someone from the commander?"
Song Qingyue nodded: "Commander Feng's youngest son, named Feng Jin, once proposed marriage to my second sister. I recognized him after seeing his portrait."
So that's it, Meng Wanfeng held her head and thought, after all, this is the hometown of Ge, and the people who come to discuss the marriage are all from families like Commander Feng. She immediately became curious again: "I think Mr. Feng has a good appearance, and he is a good-looking man.
He's serious and humble, doesn't your second sister like him?"
Song Qingyue shook her head: "Young Master Feng is also very good. It was my father who made the decision to marry his second sister to Princess Duanyi's second son, the Young Master of Dali Temple, Jiang Yuanchao."
"No wonder the Marquis Jiang family of Wucheng, they are all outstanding people." Meng Wanfeng smiled dryly and said nothing more.
Song Qingyue's father was the youngest minister of the dynasty, a bachelor of the cabinet, a second-rank minister of the emperor, a real capable minister, and a minister. Meng Wanfeng felt that his scumbag father was not worthy of carrying shoes for his father.
The family backgrounds between her and Song Qingyue were so different that it seemed unlikely that they would be able to talk about this kind of thing. Song Qingyue, a concubine who was born into a common house, could marry the heir to Prince Su's palace and become his concubine. The husbands of her sisters
How could the home be so bad?
She really didn't understand Songge's hometown in this life.
