Ping An Biography

It was already dawn, and there were faint songs coming from afar through the house, but I couldn't make out what was being sung, and I didn't know what time it was.Zhang Ning opened his eyes, and saw that the little girl with her face pressed against her neck was sleeping soundly. She hadn't covered the quilt, and her naked shoulders were exposed, so white and beautiful, only a girl of her age Only then will there be such a vibrant skin.He reluctantly pulled the quilt to cover her.

"Brother..." Zhang Xiaomei was woken up and opened her sleepy eyes. She seemed to remember where she was, so she stretched out her arms and hugged Zhang Ning tightly, then turned her head to look at the door again, "Are you going to wake up?" ?”.

Just like several cold winter mornings, Zhang Ning had to fight with heaven and man before he could get up.While fighting, he stretched out his hand under the quilt to caress the little sister's smooth and curved back, and played with the softness of her chest.He greedily sniffed the smell of her hair, and the fragrance of her ears and lips, his body reacted again.

The little girl didn't hear his response, and said quietly again: "My whole body is falling apart, so sore."

Hearing this, Zhang Ning endured it for the time being, thinking that she was injured for the first time, and she will wait for a few days to recover.The younger sister trusted him so much, so of course she had to consider her feelings more.At this time, I heard the younger sister say: "I'll stay here for two days, brother, if you have something to do, go and do it first, don't worry about me."

"Never mind him," Zhang Ning said, "I'll ask Chunmei to bring us meals in a while, and during this time, no one will be gone and I'll just be with you."

"Is it really okay?".The little girl pressed her smooth body tightly against him.Zhang Ning said, "It's okay."

At this time, she felt that the place was held by the little girl's hand, and she said quietly: "It's like this again, why don't you put it in again..."

"Is King Xiang not in the palace?" Yang Shiqi asked.Xia Yu from the Zanzheng Pavilion on the side of the cabinet hall replied: "Not here, if you must see him, Mr. Yang Ge can send someone to the other courtyard on the left bank of Shahu Lake."

Yang Shiqi asked the detailed location again, then left the lobby.At the door, I met Zhu Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and told him what I had just heard from Xia Yu, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "The king of Xiang is resting in Shahu, and ordinary officials may not see him. Right now, I think Zhu Butang should run away in person." Just one trip."

Running errands for a Minister of the Ministry of War was not a good job, but Zhu Heng readily agreed and said that he would leave immediately.It is because the agreement reached in the cabinet meeting this morning was so smooth that several ministers are eager to implement it as soon as possible.

It is planned that Yu Qian and Yao Fang will be the main persons in charge in Jiangxi. Yu Qian will continue to serve as the governor of Jiangxi, manage government affairs, and raise taxes, military supplies, shipbuilding and other affairs; There are more than [-] people in the battalion, his son Yao Erlang is the deputy general, and Wei Bin, the commander of the Yongding Battalion, is transferred as the deputy general.And Zhou Mengxiong served as the governor of Huguang, stationed in Yuezhou, and controlled Lizhou Daying, Yuezhou Daying, and Yuezhou Navy First Battalion.

It is really not easy for everyone to agree on such an agreement.It turned out that everyone thought it was difficult for Zhou Mengxiong. After all, from the perspective of real power, Jiangxi on the east front will be the strategic focus in the future, and Zhou Mengxiong will belong to the second line when he goes to Yuezhou; besides, he has made the greatest contribution in the battle of Jiujiang, so it is reasonable to disagree with this Excuse me.When Zhang Ning was in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, he immediately considered the problem. Sure enough, the cabinet ministers also "heart-to-heart". No one wants to see that one of the five cabinet ministers has too much power. The loss of balance in the entire group is obviously not a good thing for everyone.

But this matter must be decided by Zhang Ning himself, otherwise Yang Shiqi is worried that there will be a pot of suppressing the emperor's relatives in private on his forehead.

...Zhu Heng rode his horse to the Shahu villa in person, but was turned away.Because the masters here are only female relatives, of course it is inconvenient to meet foreign ministers.But Zhu Heng thought that the people below had some kind of message to prevaricate him on purpose, so as to thank the guests so that no one would disturb the king of Xiang; .

"You go in and report, and say it's Zhu Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Zhu Heng insisted.

The guard at the gate had no choice but to tell him to wait a while and go in to report to Mrs. Zhou.After a while, the guard came out and said: "The prince is indeed not here. The following is what the princess said personally: The prince went out on business last night, and he has not returned. I am a woman, and I am inconvenient to meet you. Please bear with me, Zhu Butang."

Only then did Zhu Heng believe that the king of Xiang was really not here, so he had to leave angrily.

The more Zhou Niang inside thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious and worried, so she asked Xin Wei to come into the room for questioning.Among the people in Chu Palace, Xin Wei is the most trusted by Zhang Ning recently. She must know where Zhang Ning has gone... Zhou Niang knows the relationship between the two of them better. Before Zhang Ning went to Jiangxi, she was the only woman beside her. I'm afraid no one would believe that Xin Wei hadn't been sent to bed.Zhou Erniang is also thinking about it now, and there is nothing she can do if she can't. A powerful man who is interested in sensuality, I am afraid no one can stop him from having three wives and four concubines. A competent wife doesn't matter much.The Zhou family and Erniang's unanimous attitude is that they can't control him. The only hope is that Zhouniang can raise a son first. In this way, he will be the eldest son, and no one can touch him in the future.

Unexpectedly, Xin Wei looked innocent and said he didn't know.She said: "The person who came to pick up the prince yesterday was Chun Changshi, maybe the prince has already returned to the palace."

On Tuesday Niang frowned and said: "If the prince is in Chu Palace, why did Zhu Shangshu of the Ministry of War go all the way here to find someone? You go back immediately, ask Chunmei first, and report to Mrs. Yao if you can't find it. This is an important matter." , the prince is in Wuchang, how could he suddenly disappear!?"

"Yes." Xin Wei also became nervous, and hurriedly went out.

Of course Yao Ji from Chu Palace knew where Zhang Ning was and what he was doing.After learning about the situation from Xin Wei, she sent another servant, Ji Chou, to look for Chunmei with a letter.This Ji Chou is the white-clothed bodyguard who was dispatched to intercept and kill Prince Wenkui before, perhaps because he has an inexplicable killing smell all over his body, he is not very popular in the palace, and he only stays with Yao Ji all year round. Nor will she be asked.In contrast, Xin Wei is easily questioned. [

Ji Chou went to Shahu to find Chunmei. Chunmei, a woman who had never dared to smile in front of Yao Ji, couldn't smile when she faced Ji Chou, a guard.But in fact Chunmei has the right to issue orders to Ji Chou, one of the four permanent servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the former apologist of the evil sect is not the person in this group who has the power of life and death, and Ji Chou is just a white-clothed bodyguard.

Chunmei took the envelope and read it over and over again, but there was not a word on the envelope, so she asked, "Was it written by Madam?"

Ji Chou nodded.

"Is it for King Xiang? Can I read it first?" Chunmei asked again.Ji Chou shook his head, and hasn't said a word since meeting him.

Chunmei was right, but it didn't affect her mentality of wanting to play pranks at any time, so she handed the letter back to Ji Chou and asked her to go upstairs with him to see King Xiang.

Walking outside the door, she heard a woman moaning from inside, Chunmei hurriedly put her index finger to her lips, and whispered: "Wait a minute, it's not good to disturb them right now." Ji Chou said nothing , standing still, like a ghost, without a sound or expression.

A gasping voice came from inside, "I squatted so hard that my legs went limp. Don't, I dare not sit down. I'm going to burst my stomach." Then came Zhang Ning's deep voice, "Lie down. Let's go." The woman's tender voice, "Don't move, oops! Ah, it's coming." Then there was another big gasp and a cry-like moan.After a while, Zhang Xiaomei's faint voice said: "I'm really out of energy. Could it be that my brother can use my tongue as well as when I was eaten by you..." Zhang Ning's voice was very gentle, "Forget it now Well, you haven't washed it." The younger sister said: "Is my brother not satisfied?" Zhang Ning said: "It's okay, seeing you happy, I am the most useful, self-esteem, younger sister will understand."

Chunmei turned her head to look at Ji Chou, and Ji Chou returned his gaze without hesitation, and the two looked at each other in blank dismay.Chunmei said quietly: "I heard that the King of Xiang ate your food?"

There was no sound inside for a long time before Chunmei knocked on the door.Then there was the sound of the door latch, Zhang Ning opened the door disheveledly, and was taken aback when he saw two people standing at the door.Chunmei grinned and gestured for Ji Chou to hand over the letter, then smiled and said, "I don't want to disturb the prince's good business, but this letter is from the noble concubine, you should read it."

Zhang Ning took it over and said, "Wait for me downstairs, I'll get dressed."

After closing the door, Zhang Xiaomei's voice came from inside again: "Oh, did she hear it, I'm ashamed to see people!"

"She...wouldn't tell others." Zhang Ning said casually. He wanted to say that they still omitted a word.He opened the letter and saw that it was Yao Ji's own handwriting, so he read it carefully.After looking at it, she took the clothes and started to put them on, and said back, "I have to go back." Zhang Xiaomei pursed her lips: "Is it a delay?" Zhang Ning said: "It's a small matter, it doesn't matter."

He got dressed in threes and fives, went to the bed and leaned over to kiss the little sister's face, and said softly: "You have a good sleep here." Hearing the sound of closing the door, he opened it and looked at the door silently.

When Zhang Ning went downstairs and saw two people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, before she could speak, Chunmei laughed and said, "Next time, if Miss Zhang can't do it, you can call me. I can also ask her to follow suit."

Zhang Ning was stunned, but it wasn't a day or two since he knew this girl, and he got used to her temper after a long time.He avoided talking about it, and changed the subject: "Is the horse ready? Also, prepare a felt cart. When she wants to go back, you will personally take her back to the palace."

"Okay, don't worry." Chunmei squinted at him and said.

Zhang Ning said cheekily again: "Ji Chou will go with me, Chunmei, you stay... things are done well, when I see something rare, I will give it to you to express my gratitude."
