Chapter 643: Calm and unhurried female history [Please vote for me!]
"A gift from Princess Anhui."
Halfway through, Rong Zhen seemed to notice someone's staring and appraising gaze behind him, and Rong Zhen suddenly spoke without looking back.
"What?"
Ouyang Rong asked strangely, looking away from the light purple palace dress on Rong Zhen. He had just walked halfway before he realized that Rong Nushi was wearing something different today.
Rong Zhen didn't pause in her words, her waist was still straight and straight, and she walked forward with her arms crossed, and she continued:
"I said I didn't want it. The princess asked me to try on this outfit this morning and gave it to me... When I came over, it was too late, so I didn't change it... Don't say anything, I know that the clothes are very beautiful.
Weird, I don’t need your sentimental reminder, and I didn’t wear it for you to see..."
"Forehead."
Ouyang Rong realized that he was talking about this new palace dress. He shook his head and said:
"No, I actually want to say that this one is quite beautiful. It looks like violet..."
Ahead, Rong Zhen lowered his head inexplicably when he heard the compliment, but when he heard from behind, he suddenly asked:
"Who is Violet? Which girl do you know?"
Ouyang Rong realized that there seemed to be no flowers like violets in this era, so he explained:
"A kind of lavender flower, the way it is called in my hometown is different everywhere."
"oh."
Rong Zhen responded lightly.
The atmosphere between the two gradually fell into silence.
Quietly walked forward for a while.
"Don't think too much, it's just a coincidence..."
"Rong Nu Shihe..."
The two people walking back and forth spoke almost in unison.
The words collided.
"Rong Nu Shi will talk first." Ouyang Rong said politely.
"Nothing to say. Just tell me." Rong Zhen waved his hands impatiently: "Don't dawdle."
"Um."
Ouyang Rong said calmly:
"The relationship between Rong Nu Shi and Princess Anhui is getting better and better."
Rong Zhen pursed his lips, and after a while, explained:
"Princess Anhui is your majesty's niece and granddaughter. She stayed in Jiangzhou to pay homage to your majesty and his family. Your majesty issued a verbal edict and ordered us to take care of her. I have to go there every three days to visit.
"I see."
Ouyang Rong nodded lightly.
The air between the two fell into silence again.
Walked for a while.
"Ouyang Lianghan."
"Um?"
Rong Zhen shouted and explained one more sentence:
"The princess of Anhui County is very good. She is well-known in Luojing as a kind-hearted princess. She is different from most of the Wei family members in your impression."
Ouyang Rong glanced at her back and smiled calmly:
"Oh, why are you talking to this lady, Master Shi?"
Rong Zhen turned around and glanced at him sideways:
"Being kind is not a reason to be bullied. You must be optimistic about Prince Xunyang and don't go looking for her again. It's not appropriate, especially when Deputy Supervisor Song regards Princess Anhui as his beloved disciple's fiancée, like a daughter.
treat.
"Prince Xunyang harassed people like this during the mourning period of Lin Cheng, which is very unpopular. Deputy Supervisor Song does not have such a good temper as Princess Anhui."
Ouyang Rong was speechless:
"The prince hasn't come back yet, why are you talking about this?"
Rong Zhen pouted: "I'm going back to the city in the next two days."
Ouyang Rong was quiet for a moment and asked: "How come Rong Nu Shi is better informed than me?"
Rong Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead.
"If it had been in the past, it would have been fine. I would have turned a blind eye, but now is the critical moment. Let's work together to build the Buddha and jointly resist the rebels in Tiannan Jianghu. We can't let anything happen inside Xunyang City.
For irreconcilable conflicts, the overall situation should be given priority."
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"There is another way. Why don't Rong Nu Shi persuade Princess Anhui to leave Xunyang City and return to the capital first? You can worship the Buddha at any time. Now that the situation in Xunyang City is getting increasingly tense, the princess should get out of the way."
Rong Zhen shook his head and explained:
"I heard from Princess Anhui that it was the intention of King Liang in the capital. It was not just about worshiping Buddha, but also saying that Wei's daughter must be chaste and chaste. Although the two are only engaged and have not yet married, Princess Anhui and Lin
Cheng's birth date and horoscope have been changed, and she is considered a fiancée.
"Now that my fiancé is dead, I still sacrificed my life for the imperial court and Your Majesty. He died heroically. As a daughter of the Wei family, I cannot retreat. I should stay at the Xunyang front line to mourn.
"It's not like a real husband or a relative would do the same thing. But it's still necessary to do small things. It happened that she was also mourning for her cousin Wei Shaoxuan, and all the civil and military officials of the court were watching.
Princess Anhui represents the face of Prince Liang and the Wei family.
"Therefore, after this mourning period is over, you can return to Beijing and find a good match for you."
There are five different levels of mourning clothes: Zhan Shei, Qi Shei, Da Gong, Xiao Gong and Qi Ma. They represent the closeness of the relationship between the mourner and the deceased, which are the so-called "five clothes".
It takes three years to cut off, one year to complete, nine months to do great work, five months to do small work, and three months to maintain hemp.
Liang Wang Weisi ordered Princess Anhui to serve Lin Cheng and Wei Shaoxuan for five months.
Ouyang Rong nodded:
"Mr. Wei knows how to buy horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold. Once this news gets out, the value of Wei's daughter will definitely become even higher."
Rong Zhen sneered:
"Why, you are also interested. Would you like me to help you mediate and find a daughter of the Wei family?"
Ouyang Rong was helpless: "I am not popular with the two princes of the Wei family. I will not be so lucky."
"You are quite self-aware." Rong Zhen nodded, thought for a moment, the expression on his face seemed to be that he thought of something, and shook his head slightly: "But that's not necessarily true, after all, the surname is not Li."
Ouyang Rong teased: "The relationship is good, so I have to ask for one, or Princess Anhui. You also said that the princess is kind and can take care of Brother Lin responsibly. I am willing to wait."
"You have a pretty good idea. You are becoming more and more glib."
Rong Zhen chuckled, smiling but not smiling.
At this time, the two people, who were both joking, came to the Supervisory Yuan in Xunyangfang.
As soon as he entered the door, Ouyang Rong saw a group of palace envoys hurriedly saying goodbye and leaving. They should be the Luoyang envoys who had sent the imperial edict.
Walking into the lobby, Rong Zhen took out an imperial edict and handed it to Ouyang Rong:
"See for yourself."
Ouyang Rong opened it and saw that there were a bunch of awkward articles on it, but they were actually talking about a few simple personnel appointments.
The personnel here in Jiangzhou have not been changed, but after discussion with the Luojing Political Affairs Hall and His Majesty's approval, it was decided to transfer two battalions from the White Tiger Guard and the Xuanwu Guard, totaling 4,000 elite soldiers, to the southwest front to assist Jiang.
The State Supervisory Office and the Chinese Army Camp on the front line.
Ouyang Rong calmly read the latest edict.
It was not handed back immediately.
His eyes focused on the names of the leading generals of the White Tiger Guard Battalion and the Xuanwu Guard Battalion. There was no word "Wei", but there was a familiar word: "Wei".
Of course, this does not rule out that there will be people placed by the Wei family in the fourth camp.
However, at least there are people from my own family among them...
"Ouyang Lianghan, how are you?"
Rong Zhen asked:
"Recruiting the elite soldiers of Xuanwu Guard and White Tiger Guard is my suggestion based on local conditions. These two guards are very good at dealing with Qi Practitioners, and they have their own specialties. They can target this group of rebels in Tiannan Jianghu. Between the two guards,
There are also some powerful Qi practitioners among them, and I know them...
"And there are four thousand people. We have specially transferred more. Even if Marshal Qin needs it, he will transfer one battalion to the southwest front line to support. The remaining three battalions will be more than enough to defend Xunyang City."
Ouyang Rong nodded lightly. Previously, the frontline Chinese army camp only had one black armor from the Xuanwu Battalion. This kind of organic military force targeting Qi refiners had already beaten down the heroes of Hong and Jiang states.
"Okay." He said with a normal expression: "And now that the decree has been issued, Rong Nu Shi still asked me what I suggested to do, so of course I obeyed."
"If you have any objections, I can submit a letter with you and then invite you." Rong Zhen lowered his eyes and said softly.
Ouyang Rong shook his head and said: "It's probably too late, so let's leave it like that. I'll take a look and see if it's okay. The most important thing is whether it can meet Rong Nushi's wishes. This reinforcement is also Rong Nushi's suggestion."
"Okay." She raised her chin slightly.
"If we have enough people, we can stabilize the situation in Xunyang. If the rebels from Nanjianghu dare to come these days, they will never come back. Oh, you are used to being arrogant and prosperous in the south. Have you forgotten the power of the imperial court? The focus of this dynasty is
Just because the north is in Guanzhong, it doesn't mean that the south is a lawless land."
After a while, Rong Zhen still had something to be busy with, so Ouyang Rong took his leave first.
Ouyang Rong reminded Rong Zhen last time that there was something fishy about these bronze Yunmeng Lings, and I don’t know if the female historian heard it.
Anyway, when Ouyang Rong saw it later, Rong Nu Shi ordered the female officials of the Supervisory Council to search Yun Meng Ling as usual, and did not allow any soldiers or civilians in Xunyang City to keep this thing privately.
In addition, Rong Nushi seems to be busy recently, transferring the rebel prisoners from the Jiuzhou Prison in Xunyangfang to the Xinzhou Prison on the outskirts of the city near Shuangfeng Peak.
The old Yangtou also went with him.
Looking at the current situation, the Shuangfengjian Xunyang Grottoes must be strictly guarded. In recent days, Jiangzhou Hall has been asked to help release official documents:
People in Xunyang are prohibited from going to the vicinity of Shuangfengjian. Outsiders are not allowed to approach without a government warrant. Anyone who enters by mistake will be detained. In addition, foreign ships are stopped at Shuangfengjian Pier...
As a result, the Xunyang Grottoes are semi-closed.
Ouyang Rong had been hesitating whether to emphasize Yun Meng Ling again, but seeing her methodical progress, he gave up and said it more deliberately.
Leaving the Overwatch Council, on the way back.
Inside the carriage, he lowered his eyes slightly.
Among the generals of the Xuanwu and White Tiger Guards transferred this time, there are children of the Wei family, who are the natal family of Princess Wei Mei.
Many of Jingzhao Wei's children joined the military and some held key positions in the imperial court.
This is what Ouyang Rong values, and it was planned in advance before he and Prince Xunyang decided to write a letter asking for help.
The two discussed it with Xie Xun, Shen Xisheng, Xiang Wang and others in Luoyang through secret letters, and also notified Jingzhao Weishi through Princess Wei Mei's family letter.
In the end, the pro-liberation faction in Luoyang jointly fought for this appointment.
Although the edict stated that the arrangements were discussed and arranged at a political hall meeting, the actual situation is that the candidates have been discussed in private with all parties in advance and have been drawn up, and it is just a formality.
Therefore, Ouyang Rong was not surprised when he saw the personnel arrangements in the edict, but it was very interesting that Rong Zhen asked him one more question.
Xunyang Wang Lixian's request, Jiangzhou Governor Ouyang Lianghan's request, as well as Rong Zhennvshi, Song Deputy Superintendent Zheng's request... all have the right to make personnel suggestions. This is a compromise plan that everyone can accept.
.
There are many twists and turns in it.
For example, the descendants of the Wei family will definitely not be able to come back to hold important positions. Prince Xunyang and Ouyang Rong will definitely not agree to this. Her Majesty the Queen and the Political Affairs Hall must respect their opinions now, after all, the statue of the Buddha is about to be built.
For example, there are actually several plans, which can be used as the next best option. They predict the reaction of His Majesty or the two kings of the Wei family in advance, leaving room for them to reject or deny...
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.
At this time, Yan Liulang boarded the carriage and whispered:
"Mingfu, according to your arrangement, the outpost over there has been lifted and everyone has evacuated, leaving only a few patrolling the streets on time."
"How did the two Fang sisters react?"
"The outpost was withdrawn in the afternoon the day before yesterday. They went out once after dinner in the evening before yesterday. They didn't go far. They took a walk by Xingzi Lake and returned to the yard within an hour. The same happened yesterday. They didn't go out during the day. In the evening, after dinner, they went out again.
I went out for a walk for an hour and returned as usual... There was no movement until this morning, so I hurried to Chengtian Temple early."
"Why did you go to Chengtian Temple, and who did you meet?" Ouyang Rong asked calmly.
"I didn't find anything strange. It seemed like they were worshiping Buddha normally. Later I met several Zen masters who were resident in the temple. Other than that, I didn't find any outside pilgrims."
"Is there a list of the Zen masters they have met?"
"Yes, I took a note and made some general inquiries. As for the more in-depth investigation, I have sent someone to investigate." Yan Liulang seemed to have been prepared, taking out a stack of white paper from his arms and handing it over.
Ouyang Rong finally looked down and looked at it for a moment.
"Yizhi Zen Master...what does this name circled in red mean?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly pointed at a name and asked.
Yan Liulang nodded: "This Zen master is a little special, so he has been given a humble position. His disciple may be known to the Ming Dynasty."
"who?"
He asked curiously.
"It's the chubby little novice monk, whose monastic name is Juhao. He had taken care of Miss Xiu Niang in the Beitian Nursing Home before."
Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, was quiet for a while, and asked:
"Have the two sisters from the Fang family left after paying homage to Buddha?"
"No, I went back to the yard again. I didn't see them come out again all morning."
"Okay, Rokuro will continue to keep an eye on them. As long as they leave that courtyard, even if they return to their home in the south of the city, they will follow them."
"Yes, Mingfu."
Yan Liulang clasped his fists and stepped back with a serious expression.
Not long after, the carriage arrived under the shade of a tree near a quiet courtyard.
Ouyang Rong lowered his head and stared at the list, sat for a while, put it in his sleeve, closed his eyes and rested.
Just before Yan Liulang left, he reminded Xiu Niang and Pei Shisanniang that they went to Dongshi for shopping in the morning and haven't come back yet.
Less than half an hour later, Pei Shisanniang's luxurious carriage appeared at the end of this main road.
The luxurious carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the quiet courtyard. Under the beautiful woman wearing a purple and gold shawl looking on with a smile, the blindfolded and pretty girl got out of the car lightly with a basket and walked towards the courtyard, walking briskly with a cane...
Ouyang Rong sat alone in the carriage, waiting quietly under the shade of a tree in the distance.
Pei Shisanniang's luxurious carriage left, and Xiu Niang was welcomed into the hospital by the Fang sisters, but he remained motionless.
After a while, Pei Shisanniang returned quietly. As if she had received the news, she got into the car alone and saluted Shi Shiran.
"Son..."
Ouyang Rong opened his eyes, glanced at her, and first asked about Xiu Niang's situation. There are some things that a woman like Pei Shisanniang is keen on.
"Don't worry, sir. Miss Xiu Niang must be in a good mood recently. She doesn't seem to be worried or dissatisfied. Sir, please feel at ease."
"good."
After holding an incense stick, he watched Pei Shisanniang leave. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was close to noon.
Ouyang Rong then got out of the car and walked towards the quiet courtyard where the smoke was curling up...
