The Imperial Mausoleum of Da Chu stands a hundred miles away from the capital.
Unlike the majestic palace city, the imperial mausoleum looks a bit...shabby.
The reason is that when Emperor Hongwen, the first emperor of Da Chu, was in power, he almost emptied the treasury just by building palaces and cities.
At that time, the world was in peace and the people were beginning to recuperate and recuperate. Emperor Hongwen did not want to worsen the people's slowly getting better life by building the imperial mausoleum, so he did not build the imperial mausoleum extravagantly.
Emperors of all dynasties began to build mausoleums when they were in power, but Emperor Hongwen of Dachu was a precedent. The second emperor, Emperor Hongwu, including the current emperor Honghui, did not spend too much money on building imperial mausoleums.
, although it is not as frugal as Emperor Hongwen, but compared with other dynasties, it is already frugal.
Surrounded by endless fields, the imperial mausoleum is guarded by officers and soldiers.
Xiao Xixi stepped down from the carriage. Although the imperial mausoleum was shabby, the royal aura was still there, and she was shocked by the mausoleums one after another.
This is the end point that no one can escape from, no matter how noble they are.
Leng Moran held her hand, and the two came to the tombs of the former Yan King Leng Xuting and Yan Princess He.
Leng Xuting and He were killed in a sea of fire in the Beidi Palace. Because the fire was too strong, when people put out the fire later, only their bodies were found among the burned remains with only ashes.
Their bones were returned to the capital and buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Leng Moran and Xiao Xixi knelt down and kowtowed to them.
Leng Moran looked at Beidi's position with sadness in his voice, "Father, mother and concubine, I wonder how you are doing now? My child is married, and she is the person he cares about most besides you. I will bring her here today.
I meet you, Xixi, and say hello to my father, the queen, mother and concubine."
Xiao Xixi was infected by his sadness and said to the north: "Father, mother and concubine, don't worry, I will take good care of the prince and won't let you worry."
After offering incense in front of the mausoleum, the two walked hand in hand outside the imperial mausoleum, with the guards following at a distance.
Leng Moran suddenly stopped and seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and asked, "Xixi, do you blame me for bringing you to see them so late?"
Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Leng Moran was going to ask something. When she heard what he said, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head in a playful tone: "No, it's not too late for me to be happy."
"Why?" Leng Moran frowned in confusion.
Xiao Xixi coughed lightly and explained seriously: "It means you care about this matter very much and will not bring people to see them easily. Now that you bring me here, it means that I have a very important position in your heart. You said I can't open it?"
happy?"
After Xiao Xixi finished speaking, she took his hand and shook it, the smile on her tender face was more dazzling and moving than ever.
Leng Moran's mind was soothed, and regardless of the guards following not far away, his broad arms took Xiao Xixi into his arms, followed by an unrestrained kiss.
Feng Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and quickly reacted, signaling the guards to lower their heads and stop looking, while he stared at the two people embracing each other seriously with his eyes.
Well, it must not be that he wants to peek, but to protect his master's safety at all times!
However, seeing his prince and princess so happy, Feng Yan also smiled happily.
…
At this moment, turmoil suddenly broke out in the southern border of Da Chu.
Princess Yongzhao, who owned numerous restaurants as an intelligence agency, was almost the fastest person to learn the news besides Emperor Honghui.
After receiving the news, Princess Yongzhao did not delay and entered the palace as quickly as possible to meet the saint.
Emperor Honghui had just had a headache because of the secret report from southern Xinjiang. When he heard that the eldest princess had entered the palace, his mood was not much relieved.
Needless to say, he also knew the reason why the imperial sister entered the palace this time.
The chamberlain invited the eldest princess to enter the palace, and Emperor Honghui gave her a seat. Then he sighed deeply and said, "Sister, you can rest assured that I will handle Xue Zhenjiang's affairs properly, and I will also instruct the people under my command.
Try your best to save his life."
"No," Princess Yongzhao shook her head and said, "I am not entering the palace to plead for Xue Zhenjiang, but I want to go to southern Xinjiang in person and kill the traitor Xue Zhenjiang."
Her tone was harsher than ever before.
Emperor Honghui was startled and hurriedly advised: "Xue Zhenjiang is the prince-in-law after all. He may have just been deceived by others, or he made a mistake. The emperor's sister does not have to be like this."
Princess Yongzhao looked at Emperor Honghui with extremely calm eyes, and she said slowly: "He has protected the southern border for Chu, but now he lets people from Qi into the city. No matter what the reason is, he should be punished
.He allowed people to enter the city without caring about the lives of the people in the city. He also betrayed Da Chu and deserves to be killed."
"Sister Huang——" Emperor Honghui hesitated in his heart. He actually felt that Xue Zhenjiang did something wrong this time, but when he thought that Xue Zhenjiang was the husband of the emperor, Emperor Honghui wanted to give Xue Zhenjiang another chance.
Chance.
Xue Zhenjiang and Princess Yongzhao have been married for many years. They only have a daughter, Princess Qingyuan, but their relationship has always been very good. Emperor Honghui did not want to destroy the family just like this.
The eldest princess said in a cold voice: "Don't worry about me, I can live well without Xue Zhenjiang. He is unfaithful to Da Chu and cannot be left here no matter what. It was I who begged the emperor to give him such an errand, and now
, it’s up to me to deal with the aftermath.”
Seeing that Princess Yongzhao had made up her mind, Emperor Honghui could only agree and asked him to select a hundred agile imperial guards to follow the princess south.
Princess Yongzhao was very good at riding and shooting. When she was not married, she would come out on top in every royal hunt, no less than her male counterparts.
It is summer now, and the weather is getting hotter as we go south. The eldest princess almost never stops, never complains of being tired, and only sleeps for two hours a day, and spends the rest of her time on the road.
After arriving in southern Xinjiang, she led the troops gathered in nearby cities and personally led the army to besiege the city.
The heroic figure is riding on a high horse, holding a red tassel gun, and his grace is not inferior to that of the past.
Xue Zhenjiang stood on the tower and saw his wife in the crowd. For a moment, his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to more than ten years ago, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huilian, is that you?"
Princess Yongzhao slowly raised her head and looked at him with cold eyes, with a hint of coldness on her lips, "It is this princess."
Xue Zhenjiang looked worried, as if he was really afraid that something might happen to the princess, and said in an urgent voice: "Huilian, why are you here? It's dangerous here, go back quickly!"
"Really?" Princess Yongzhao's voice was contemptuous, as if she had already seen Xue Zhenjiang's tricks.
After many years of marriage, Xue Zhenjiang has always treated her very well, and no outsider can find anything wrong with her.
But she knew in her heart that Xue Zhenjiang was all pretending.
No matter how much he pretends to be like him, flaws will always show up over time.
Princess Yongzhao understood very well that Xue Zhenjiang loved her, but this kind of love was not as good as his official career.
Because she married a princess, she basically had no chance of an official career. She understood Xue Zhenjiang's frustration that he had a talent but had nowhere to use it, so she asked Emperor Honghui to give him a chance to realize his ambition.
Unfortunately, in the end, she still deceived herself.
Xue Zhenjiang's appetite is bigger than she imagined.
Now, only she can end all this.
Princess Yongzhao calmed down, looked at the city tower, and shouted: "Xue Zhenjiang, do you dare to go out of the city to see me?"
Xue Zhenjiang hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed and took a few guards out of the city.
Princess Yongzhao jumped off the horse, looked at him coldly, and asked: "Why are you doing this?"
Xue Zhenjiang licked his dry lips and seemed to have made up his mind before speaking with difficulty: "They promised me the position of general."
Princess Yongzhao sneered, laughing so hard that tears almost overflowed from her eyes, "Xue Zhenjiang, you actually betrayed my great Chu for a mere general position!"
"Huilian, you and I are a family. I won't hurt you, and I won't harm you just yet. Leng Xuqi has been taking elixirs all year round, and he is afraid that he will not die soon. And the princes under his knees are all young and cannot take on big responsibilities. With that,
If the throne is snatched away by others in the future, it is better to help the Emperor of Qi. In the future, I will be the General of Qi, and you will be the wife of the General of Qi. The role I should have will not necessarily be worse than it is now."
