When Yun Shang heard this, he was slightly stunned. He remembered that when Yelang's army attacked the city that day, it was indeed him who was commanding the army to set up the formation. He couldn't help covering his mouth and laughed: "General Qian is really too flattering.
This palace, thanks to your majesty's blessing, I once worshiped Mr. Qingcang as my teacher. I wanted to learn the formation method. However, it was an unlucky chance. I barely met Mr. Qingcang, but I didn't even know anything about it.
I have never learned it. The formation in the stone forest is just a temporary study after reading the book given by Mr. Qingcang."
When Qian Jun heard this, he was even more surprised: "The empress actually worshiped Mr. Qingcang as her teacher?" After saying that, he murmured to himself: "No wonder, no wonder."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded. Seeing Qian Jun's eyes with a hint of prayer, she laughed and told Peilan: "Get the book on the far right of the third row on the bookshelf."
Peilan responded, took the book and handed it to Yun Shang. Yun Shang glanced at Qian Jun before smiling and giving the book to him: "If General Qian likes to study formations, I will give him this book."
General. I have almost remembered the formations in this book, and I am usually in the palace. It would not be a waste if I keep this thing here. Why not give it to the general. If the general can use it to kill the enemy and protect him,
It is also a blessing for my country, Xia, to have peace in our family and country."
Qian Jun's face was full of joy, he quickly took the book respectfully, knelt down, saluted Yun Shang and said: "I will thank the Queen, I will definitely live up to the Queen's high expectations.
"
Yun Shang waved her hand, telling him not to be polite. Qian Jun stood up, lowered his head, and looked a little hesitant.
"General Qian, is there anything else you want to say?" Yun Shang said softly.
Qian Jun was silent for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this battle helped us repel the fierce offensive of Yelang Kingdom. The general thought that if this matter was only known to a few generals in our army, it was
pity."
"What a pity?" Yun Shang was a little confused, "Why is it such a pity?"
Qian Jun lowered his head and said in a slightly smoother voice: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is exactly when you need to win over the people. The Queen is the mother of a country and your Majesty's wife. If the Queen can win over the soldiers and people in the army,
The mutual praise will be of great benefit to His Majesty's throne. For the people, a queen who can kill enemies on the battlefield is definitely better than a queen who is locked in a deep palace and can only take care of the harem.
It is more popular among the people. At that time, the Emperor only favored the Queen Mother, but just because the Queen Mother was born as a general and made countless achievements on the battlefield, the people also respected the Queen Mother very much."
There was a bit of thoughtfulness in Yun Shang's eyes. After Qian Jun finished speaking, he smiled naively and said: "The general is just talking nonsense. Don't blame the Queen. Your Majesty is injured, and the Queen still needs to be taken care of.
I won’t bother you any more, General.”
Yun Shang nodded, watched Qian Jun exit the study, slightly curled his lips, stood up, and returned to his bedroom.
Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Luo Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "What did Qian Jun say to you? Look at how happy you are."
Yun Shang told Luo Qingyan what Qian Jun said, and then Luo Qingyan laughed: "It's true that he has considered everything carefully and what he said is not unreasonable."
There was also a smile in Yun Shang's eyes: "General Qian, who looks very boring, is a bit interesting sometimes. Although he is a little too worried, he is also well-intentioned. Although he is old-fashioned, he is not old-fashioned.
, Don’t belittle yourself, be willing to ask for advice humbly, if you can cultivate it, you can be regarded as a good general.”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he couldn't help teasing Yun Shang and said, "I remember that a few days ago, the queen was still suspicious that General Qian was a spy of the Yelang Kingdom. She just praised the queen a few words and then let the queen
This has completely changed, the Queen’s position is really not firm.”
Yun Shang stretched out her hand to pinch Luo Qingyan, but thinking that he was covered in wounds now, she had to give up and snorted: "Your Majesty just grabs someone's pigtails and makes fun of him for the rest of his life. Isn't this what I am doing for you?"
Your Majesty is thinking about it. Nowadays, there is a shortage of lieutenant generals in the court. If there are good talents, it should be easy to catch them."
Luo Qingyan nodded in agreement: "I dare not disobey the Queen's orders."
It was already midsummer, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from time to time. The two people in the room had just experienced a difficult battle and had a rare moment of peace, and they were whispering.
After this battle, the Yelang Kingdom retreated thirty miles, seeming to quietly admit that they had lost. Lingxi City was filled with laughter and laughter, which was completely different from the solemn atmosphere when Yun Shang first came. This war has changed from last year.
It was already more than August. From the beginning, the two armies were about the same strength. Zhao Yingjie dispersed his forces and contained Cangjue Qingsu at every turn. When Cangjue Qingsu gave up the battlefield with Ningguo in the north, he sent more troops to support Lingxi.
There was a huge disparity, and they were at a disadvantage at first. In Cangjue Qingsu threatened them in the name of seizing the Emperor and the Queen Mother, which made the Xia army unsteady, and now they have defeated the Yelang Kingdom.
The soldiers had been depressed for too long, so they had a rare moment of relaxation.
However, this battle was also very costly, and the Xia Kingdom also lost a lot of troops. Lingxi City was fine, but there were corpses everywhere outside the city, which also added a lot of weight to this victory.
After staying in Lingxi City for more than half a month, they finished taking care of the battlefield and arranged the follow-up matters. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang finally returned to the court at the end of June.
When we returned to Jincheng, news of the great victory had already reached Jincheng, and Yun Shang's ambush from all sides had already become a favorite story among storytellers in teahouses.
Therefore, on the day they entered the city, hundreds of officials came to greet them, and almost all the people in Jincheng came out. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were sitting in the jade chariot, holding Bao'er in their arms.
The voice of shouting long live resounded through the sky.
After the jade chariot entered the palace gate, Luo Qingyan went straight to Tai Chi Hall, and Yun Shang rode the jade chariot to Weiyang Palace.
After getting off the jade chariot, she saw that all the concubines and concubines in the palace were in the Weiyang Palace. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Yun Shang took a deep breath and stepped into the Weiyang Palace.
Concubine Li was the first to greet her, and she led everyone in saluting. Then she raised her head and looked at Yun Shang with a smile on her face and said, "The Queen has won a great victory on the battlefield this time. Congratulations to the Queen."
Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your support, I didn't do much." Yun Shang said, then walked into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Qianzuo and Qinyi both came over and hurriedly helped Yun Shang sit down and poured tea for Yun Shang.
Bao'er fell asleep on the road. Yun Shang handed Bao'er to Qinyi and said with a smile: "Put Bao'er on the bed. Don't wake him up."
Qin Yi responded quickly, and Yun Shang looked at the concubines and concubines who had followed him, rubbed his aching forehead, and asked people to give them seats.
After chatting for a while, Yun Shang saw the guest off on the grounds that he was tired from the journey and needed a rest.
After Weiyang Palace finally became quiet, Yun Shang stood up and entered the inner hall. Qianzuo and Qinyi followed them in quickly. Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at the two of them. Fang laughed and asked softly:
"Thank you for your hard work these days. Is there anything going on in the palace?"
Qinyi and Qianzuo looked at each other and said, "It's very calm this time. The slaves are also very surprised."
Qian Zui smiled and said, "However, when the empress left the palace, she asked the slave to keep an eye on Qi Ruihai, and the slave discovered something fishy."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyes, remembering that she had just seen Concubine Wan, and there was nothing unusual about her expression, so she whispered: "What's the matter?"
Qian Zui lowered his voice slightly and reported softly: "Eunuch Qi is delivering forbidden drugs to the palace."
Forbidden drugs? Yun Shang thought of the food that the secret guard had seen Qi Ruihai give to Concubine Wan and asked her to give it to the Nineteenth Prince, and she became a little suspicious, "What kind of banned drugs is it?"
"As a disciple, Han Shi San." Qian Zuo responded in a low voice: "The internal servants supervise the arrangements for the internal servants to go out to visit relatives. Every few days, Qi Ruihai will send the palace servants who visit relatives to go to Xialiu Lane to pick up things, and the secret guards will go there.
After looking through that person's account book, I found out what Qi Ruihai ordered him to take."
"Dangmen, Hanshi Powder." These two herbs are both banned in the palace. If Qi Ruihai separated these two herbs, Yun Shang might not know their uses, but he always took them together, but Yun Shang
Shang remembered that there is a medicine that requires the use of these two medicinal materials. In fact, there are three medicinal materials in total, and the other one is moxa leaf. It is just a common thing in the imperial hospital in the palace. Qi Ruihai is in charge of the entire palace.
Waiter, it's not difficult to get some.
These three medicines together can make people suffer from lack of energy, disordered pulse, and soreness of hands and feet, but they will not harm the fundamentals of the body. These symptoms are very consistent with the symptoms of the Nineteenth Prince.
The Nineteenth Prince is probably not sick at all.
Thinking of what the secret guard heard from Concubine Wan to Qi Ruihai, saying that she only had such a child, and she must protect him. There was a secret fight for that position in the palace, and she didn't want the 19th prince to become a victim inexplicably.
Yun Shang then understood that Concubine Wan was afraid that Luo Qingyan and Xia Houjing would fight for the throne and harm the Nineteenth Prince.
Yun Shang curled up her lips, and Concubine Wan was determined to be cruel. Although the pills made of three medicinal herbs would not harm the 19th prince's body, it was a banned drug after all, so it had considerable harm.
.
"Your Majesty is not in the palace, so we dare not deal with it rashly. We have only collected evidence and will make a decision after your Majesty returns to the palace. What do you think we should do?" Qianzuo asked softly.
The corners of Yun Shang's lips curled up, with a hint of calculation in her eyes: "The Nineteenth Prince is only a child of three or four years old, and he does not pose a threat to anyone, but this matter can be used as a handle for us to win over Qi Ruihai. Qi Ruihai doesn't care about him that much.
His sister? I help him protect his sister, but he must be used by me." (To be continued)
