Invincible son

Qinzhou, Songning Mansion.

The huge fleet of Xiangyun is still parked in the port, carrying out the turnover of goods according to the orders of the shopkeepers, such as unloading the special products from the south at the pier, waiting for the convoy to transport these goods to various places in Qinzhou and Yongzhou.Although the fleet occupies a large area in the port, Songning Mansion is the home of the Qinzhou Navy, and the relationship between King Jin and Admiral Chen Huacheng is well known, so no one dares to talk too much.

There are a lot of fish and dragons on the pier, and there are all kinds of eyeliners, so they are naturally curious about the caravan of the Xiangyun.However, what these people couldn't figure out was that the caravan's guarded forest was extremely rare, not to mention strangers like them, even navy officers and soldiers did not have the right to directly board the ship to check.

As for acts such as spying secretly, it is even more impossible. Xiangyun has countless masters, who can completely isolate the prying eyes of the outside world no matter when and where.

Those who are interested can find that the guards of the Xiangyun are not like reckless masters who are free and unrestrained. Even if they only look at each other occasionally, they can still perceive the coldness in the opponent's eyes.

Inside a huge cargo ship, Luo Kedi with a solemn expression walked into the inner cabin, ordered people to open each box tirelessly, checked the contents inside extremely carefully, and at the same time said to the guard in charge: "Open flames are strictly prohibited in the inner cabin." , and there should be no water leakage.”

The guard then replied: "Don't worry, General, Mr. Xi has already instructed you before."

Qi Min, who had rushed back from the capital, couldn't help feeling emotional: "In that battle at sea, hundreds of warships from the Nanwufeng Navy died in the belly of the fish. It was an unforgettable scene."

Luo Kedi's expression softened a little, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness has many wonderful ideas, and mines are just one of them. After a few days, when you see what a real firearm is, you will understand that compared with Your Highness, the world's Mostly stupid."

Listening to his calm and heroic tone, Qi Min couldn't help feeling envious.

Although a child of Lvliuzhuang like him is Pei Yue's most trusted confidant, and now he manages the huge property of Xiangyun and other places for him, but after all, he is not as good as a general in the army, and maybe he will be remembered in history in the future name.Take the young general in front of him as an example. His father committed suicide because he betrayed the court, but as long as he performed well in the next period of time, he would definitely be reused by Pei Yue.

Seeing that Qi Min was silent, Luo Kedi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness employs people of all kinds, you and I just have different divisions of labor."

Qi Min immediately felt relieved. Back then, he still had the intention of competing with Deng Zai. As his status got higher and higher, his vision became wider. In comparison, it is already a world of difference.

He smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness asked me to inform you that on the ninth day of September, the Tian Family will hold a ceremony to worship the Heaven in the Xingliang Mansion Imperial Mausoleum, and your people need to act according to this time."

There was a flash of light in Luo Kedi's eyes, and then he pressed his hand on a strange thing in the box, and said firmly: "Brother Qi, please convey to Your Highness, Luo Kedi and Wuqianerlang are already ready to die for His Highness." .”

The 5000 people hidden in this fleet have nothing to do with the imperial court, but are recruited and taught by Mr. Xi, and then trained by Rock Enemy day after day. Like Zang Fengwei, they belong only to Pei Yue himself army.

Qi Min said with emotion: "Your Highness already knew that you would answer like this. Your Highness said, I hope you can remember what Wang Pingzhang said to you in Beiying on the day of the rebellion. The reason why His Highness took such trouble to plan is to put these things in the box. The thing is handed over to you, and I hope that everyone will not make meaningless sacrifices."

Luo Kedi was quite moved.

Of course he remembered what Pei Yue said that day, and it was because those words deeply moved him that he made the choice to set things right.

Qi Min glanced at the box, then smiled and said, "Your Highness also said a strange word."

Rock looked at him puzzled.

Qi Min pointed to those mysterious things with his eyes, and said word by word: "You all have to live well, this is the meaning of dimensionality reduction strikes."

……

On the fifth day of September, the autumn rain that lasted for several days finally stopped in the capital.

The sky cleared and the wind was sunny.

It's just that the atmosphere in Jingren Palace in the imperial city is a bit dignified.

"...The Ministry of Rites has drawn up the entire process of the ceremony, which will be in charge of the Minister Wu Cunren. On the eighth day of September, the ministers will lead the Chinese and Chinese military officials to Xingliang Mansion to bathe and fast in the fasting palace in the city. On the ninth day of September, the ministers will go to the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven in the imperial mausoleum to complete the grand ceremony." Liu Xian said calmly.

Empress Dowager Wu listened quietly, and said with a smile, "That's all right, the emperor will take care of you."

For some reason, Liu Xian always felt that the Queen Mother's smile was a little strange, not as friendly as before.After a moment of silence, he said respectfully: "This sacrifice to heaven is to comfort the ancestors of Daliang. After all, regaining the homeland of the southern border is a joyful event worthy of universal celebration. Therefore, I wonder if the queen mother is willing to go with me?"

Empress Dowager Wu was slightly startled, then shook her head and said: "The emperor's pure filial piety, the Ai family naturally understands, but the Tian family is the most respectful of rules, and has never heard of the old practice of women in the palace accompanying them to sacrifice to heaven."

Liu Xian wanted to persuade her again, but Empress Dowager Wu changed the subject and said, "Xian'er is leaving Beijing this time, has the guards around me been properly arranged?"

Liu Xian replied: "After returning to my mother, it has been arranged. Li Zi, Marquis of Hejian, will lead [-] forbidden troops to accompany him, and the first part of the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army will be responsible for the peripheral security. As for the Jingdu garrison, after thinking about it, I feel that there is no need to mobilize the army. , they only need to guard the capital.”

Empress Dowager Wu said indifferently: "Northern Camp of the Beijing Army?"

Liu Xian asked unintentionally: "Could it be that the queen mother thinks something is wrong?"

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and said: "How could it be wrong? Beiying is an elite iron army brought out by King Jin. That Taian guard sent nearly half of their soldiers to Shouyang Mountain?"

Liu Xian said in relief: "The king of Jin has already talked about this with his son, because the Shouyang Mountain Mine is researching some very important technologies. In order to avoid being destroyed by thieves, he specially asked Beiying to send some soldiers to go there. It's just temporary protection."

Empress Dowager Wu nodded, then looked directly into his eyes and said, "Xian'er, you must remember that you should understand your identity as emperor no matter when and where. The late emperor entrusted this country to you, so you must not Too gentle."

Liu Xian nodded in response, then got up and bowed to leave.

After he left, Empress Dowager Wu leaned on the soft couch and said slowly: "Can you understand what the emperor said?"

The two confidant female historians standing beside them all shook their heads.

There was a touch of sadness in the eyes of Empress Dowager Wu, and she sighed softly: "He no longer trusts Aijia, or thinks in his heart that Aijia is trying to provoke the relationship between him and Pei Yue. That's why he put the defender in the capital, and only Bringing [-] imperial troops along with me, and even wanting to let Ai's family go to the imperial mausoleum, is nothing more than trying to eliminate all hidden dangers, so that there will be no disturbances in this grand ceremony."

The female historian on the left said worriedly: "The empress dowager, the Marquis of Xiangcheng has accepted Yi's decree, if the garrison cannot leave the capital..."

Empress Dowager Wu said a little tiredly: "Could it be that the Ai family will let the defenders kill Pei Yue directly? Not to mention whether this matter will be successful, even if they can kill Pei Yue, the prestige of the Tian family will be discredited, and they will be lost forever. The hearts of the people. The garrison and the imperial army are just behind-the-scenes, and the Tian family must occupy the righteousness, so that they will not give others a handle."

Nv Shi became more and more puzzled.

She originally thought that the idea of ​​the empress dowager and those important ministers in the court was to use the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven to eradicate the king of Jin by surprise, and at the same time to deal with the power of the mansion of the king of Jin.

Listening to what the queen mother said now, it seems that my thoughts are completely wrong?

Empress Dowager Wu said meaningfully: "I'm afraid these movements in the capital can't be hidden from Pei Yue, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip to the West City to take the two women to live next to the Prince Jin's mansion. The Ai family knew about the assassination The case is stupid, and Pei Yue would think so, but he probably never thought that Aijia just obeyed the late emperor's legacy and let him relax his vigilance."

She slowly sat up straight, looked up at the most trusted female historian on the left, and said calmly: "Tomorrow when the sun is twilight, you go to see a person and tell him a word."

Nv Shi's heart trembled, she lowered her head and said, "Please tell me, Madam."

Empress Dowager Wu said a name in a low voice, and then said: "The late emperor told him before the great trip, and now is the time for him to serve the late emperor. I hope he will not disappoint the late emperor's spirit in heaven."

Nv Shi said respectfully: "Yes, ma'am."

Empress Dowager Wu turned her head to look at the bronze mirror on the table, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
