A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 769
The southwestern rebels robbed the city, and the smoke filled the air.The spring day in Tiansheng capital is fine, and the sky is full of kites.

Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue flew kites for half a day and returned to Prince Rong's Mansion. Ye Tianyi's carriage was already waiting at the door.

Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue got out of the carriage, and Ye Tianyi was looking at the three-character plaque of Rong Wang's Mansion with his body on his back, but now he turned around and looked at the two of them and said indifferently: "Jing Shizi, Jing Shizi is back from flying the kite? "

Yun Qianyue glanced at him, but said nothing.

Rong Jing smiled, "Go to see off the queen mother and concubine mother, and enjoy the scenery in Nanshan for a while, and I will live up to the rare city."

"The emperor was bedridden during his recuperation period. Memorials filled the emperor's dormitory every day. Compared with the emperor, Jing Shizi's illness is very comfortable." Ye Tianyi's voice was dull.

"The emperor is the emperor. He is in his position and seeks his own government. How can Rong Jing compare with the emperor?" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows.

"If Jing Shizi continues to be sick like this, will he soon forget that he is the prime minister of a country?" Ye Tianyi's eyes flashed a hint of ridicule.

"Shizi Yun is acting as the prime minister for the time being. Rong Jing thinks that he has done a very good job. It's okay to have me in the court without me. If I can resign from office and go back to seclusion, I would be very happy." Rong Jing said.

Ye Tianyi narrowed his eyes, "No matter how well Shizi Yun has done, he can't replace Shizi Jing. Is Shizi Jing in the middle of the court really unnecessary? Tiansheng, the tens of thousands of Limin people, burn incense and worship Buddha every day, praying for Shizi Jing A speedy recovery, thousands of wishes, is also dispensable? Jing Shizi's words like this will chill the hearts of the people."

Rong Jing smiled slightly, "King An exaggerated!"

"Have you exaggerated that Prince Jing knows?" Ye Tianyi's voice was slightly cold, "The emperor wanted me to thoroughly investigate the reason why Cangting was intercepted at Jiangling City Hengshuidu. Does Prince Jing have any good suggestions or ideas?"

Rong Jing shook his head, "King An is very capable, why should I point fingers?"

"Not necessarily. So far I haven't found out anything about this matter. I only know that since Jiangling City of Linglian Jiangling, Jiang Lie has kept his own law and order. He has not made friends with the left and right magistrates, nor has he had any problems with reputation. Cautious and strict. He managed Jiangling City strictly from top to bottom. It is one of the three great cities in the south of the Yangtze River. He was praised by the late emperor. Therefore, he has been guarding Jiangling City. I have never thought of dispatching, because I am really relieved.”

Rong Jing smiled, "It seems so."

"You said such a person, what is the reason for him to stop Young Master Cang's five thousand troops from crossing the river?" Ye Tianyi looked directly into Rong Jing's eyes, "Maybe Jing Shizi guessed it?"

"People's hearts are the most difficult thing to guess in the world." Rong Jing said lightly: "Investigating cases is not just based on guesswork. Why don't Wang An read Jiangnan's file carefully, maybe he can find out some problems and see if he has anything to do with Li Qi Friendship. Otherwise, why would you block Cang Ting."

"I read the dossier yesterday. Jiangling City is [-] miles away from Tianling Mountain. Li Qi's ancestral home was a blacksmith. Later, he occupied the mountain and became king. Now he has the ambition of a wolf. He wants to dominate and compete for the hegemony. He and Jiang Lie have never met before. If you cross it, you won't be able to hit it." Ye Tianyi said.

"Then there is nothing I can do to help!" Rong Jing said softly, "Jing is recovering from his injuries, so it is not appropriate to work hard. Since the emperor handed over the case to King An, King An will review it slowly. Even if the review fails, it doesn't matter. After all, Ye Xiaojun presided over the case." Take the Tianzi Sword and go to Jiangling City, as for Jiang Lie, just kill him."

"It's easy to kill a person, and it's also easy to kill an official, but it's even more difficult to kill the parents and officials who support the entire Jiangling City." Ye Tianyi looked at Rongjing, "Jiangnan is already in turmoil, if it is connected with Jiangling City , the entire southwest thousands of miles will burn, does Jing Shizi hope so?"

"King An is so unreasonable!" Rong Jing smiled a little coldly, "King An has come here today to target everywhere, and his words are precious. Do you think I can't do it secretly?"

"If this king thinks so, what will Shizi Jing say?" Ye Tianyi raised his eyebrows.

"Since King An thinks so, let's show the evidence!" Rong Jing didn't want to say any more, pulled Yun Qianyue and walked towards the mansion.

Ye Tianyi didn't stop him, looked at the two of them, and suddenly said in a very slow voice: "I found out an interesting thing yesterday. The Jiang family has a concubine daughter who married into the general's mansion in southern Xinjiang ten years ago."

"It's really interesting. King An can continue to investigate, and maybe he will gain a lot." Rong Jing said without turning his head.

Ye Tianyi stopped talking, stared at the backs of the two for a moment, turned back to the carriage, and told the driver, "Enter the palace."

The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage headed for the palace.

Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue walked through the vestibule and came to the backyard. Yun Qianyue suddenly smiled and said, "Ye Qian's scapegoat has been confirmed this time."

Rong Jing was noncommittal.

Yun Qianyue thought that Ye Tianyi or Ye Qingran should know that Rong Jing was behind the scenes, but there was no evidence.This kind of taste, just thinking about it, made her feel comfortable.

In the next three days, the urgent secret documents from the eight hundred miles of the Ministry of War rolled into the capital like snowflakes.

While the Ministry of War was busy recruiting recruits, it was also dealing with urgent memorials for eight hundred miles. The emperor's face had never been sunny since that day, and all civil and military officials were also clouded. Save.Whether it is the imperial palace, the emperor's bedroom, the imperial study, or the golden palace, they are all shrouded in extremely low air pressure.

After Lan Yi, Hua Shu, and Ling Yan entered the capital to be appointed officials that day, they went to court the next day.The three women stood in the ranks of the officials, making the ever-uniform court situation seem to have injected a few touches of spring green.It can also be regarded as reducing a bit of fear from the low air pressure.

People of the older generation, such as Prince De, are naturally not used to women coming into court, and deliberately made things difficult when discussing matters, but Lan Yi and the other three are indeed talented, have deep insights, have far-sighted eyes, and have abilities that are not inferior to men , Prince De was also convinced and no longer embarrassed.The rest of the courtiers naturally wouldn't make things difficult, and acted as if they followed the emperor's will.

Three days later, news came back from the southwest that Princess Yexiao ran to Jiangling City with three horses killed.

After Ye Qingnuan arrived at Jiangling City, she met Cang Ting first, and then led five thousand soldiers and horses to Jiangling City with Cang Ting.

The gates of Jiangling City are still tightly closed.

Ye Qingnuan held the Tianzi sword and ordered Jiang Lie, the lord of Jiangling City, to open the city gate. After shouting for half an hour, the city gate did not open, and the soldiers on the city gate did not move.At this time, an order came from the city wall, and feathered arrows shot down at Ye Qingnuan like rain.Ye Qingnuan retreated helplessly, and Cang Ting immediately ordered the soldiers to set up their shields.

After a burst of sword rain, a person walked out of the tower, it was Ye Qian, Queen of Southern Xinjiang.

Seeing Ye Qian, Ye Qingnuan finally understood why Jiangling City intercepted five thousand soldiers and horses in Cangting, doing things that disrespected the emperor's order.It turns out that Jiangling City has been secretly conquered by Ye Qian, and Jiangling City is controlled by Ye Qian.

Ye Qingnuan was furious, and immediately attacked the city. After a round of siege, five thousand soldiers and horses lost hundreds of people. Cang Ting ordered the withdrawal of troops, sent a letter to the capital, and discussed with Ye Qingnuan another countermeasure.

On the day the capital received the news, Ye Qingran swept away the gloom of the past few days in the Jinluan Hall and sneered.

The officials didn't dare to show their pride, Qi Qi thought that the small country in southern Xinjiang was so rampant that Queen Ye dared to appear in Jiangling City, the holy land of heaven, and quietly took the city lord of Jiangling City.Without siege, without killing, without even the slightest news, she won a city and a pool to obey her orders, this is really a fantasy.

But such a fantasy happened. I don't know whether to say that the natural danger of Jiangling City is too bad, or that this woman Ye Qian is too insidious and cunning, and she has premeditated.

"Come here, go to Rong Wang's mansion to invite Jing Shizi! After more than ten days off, should he go to court?" Ye Qingran put down the secret book and ordered.

A servant hurriedly bowed and ran out of the Golden Palace.

All the ministers thought that Jing Shizi really had a very comfortable life these days.From being assassinated to recuperating from his injuries to now, compared to their daily fears, his life is like a fairy.It is said that Concubine Jing Shizi first planted peonies in a yard, and then watched Concubine Jing Shizi and her maid kicking shuttlecocks in front of the court every day. Later, Concubine Jing Shizi felt that the spring breeze was warming her and she didn't want to stay in the house every day, so Jing Shizi was in the yard. The outsider built a swing for her, the swing can accommodate two people, and the two of them basked in the sun on the swing.It is said that the spring day is fine now, and Concubine Jing Shi is obsessed with kite flying again, so the two of them go to Nanshan to fly kites every day, which makes all the ladies in the Jingcheng Pavilion run to Nanshan to fly kites.If the emperor doesn't issue an order to recall Jing Shizi to the court, maybe Concubine Jing Shizi will come up with some new tricks to play with Jing Shizi in two days. She was so jealous, but she didn't dare to show it.

"There is also Shen Zhao, it's enough to heal for a few days! Find him together." Ye Qingran ordered again.

The little eunuch who ran out of the Golden Palace had sharp ears and quickly responded loudly.

The officials thought that Shen Zhao had not been in court for many days, which was really enviable. It is said that he has been recuperating in the Rongwang Mansion, Jing Shizi treated him like a brother, and Jing Shizi's private study in the Rongwang Mansion was given to him every day. When it was open, that nerd of his seemed to have lost his business and plunged into the pile of books, staying for ten days and a half months.I never get tired of it, and I never know how to return to it.If the emperor didn't summon him to court, he might not even remember that he still has an official position.

Ye Qingran stopped talking, and the officials didn't dare to say much, they all quietly waited for the two to go to court.

An hour later, a shrill voice came from outside, "Shizi Jing is here! Master Shen is here!"

The legs of all the ministers were sore from standing, so they took the opportunity to move their legs a few times and looked outside.

"Xuan!" Ye Qingran spat out a word.

Not long after, Rong Jing and Shen Zhao appeared at the gate of the Golden Palace one after the other.

Rong Jing was still dressed in a crescent white brocade robe. Although he was as thin as ever, there was a bit more elegance in his thinness. His complexion was much better than what he had seen a few days ago. Refreshed, as elegant as a lotus.

Shen Zhao seemed to have lost a lot of weight, as if he hadn't woken up, apparently from studying hard day and night, but his eyes were exceptionally clear and energetic, with glowing folds.

As soon as these two people came, some felt tense, while others relaxed.

"Rongjing sees the emperor!"

"Shen Zhao pays homage to the emperor!"

The two stood and knelt down to salute Ye Qingran who was sitting on the golden chair above.

"Jing Shizi, Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much!" Ye Qingran didn't let Shen Zhao get up, and looked at the two people with half-smiles, and asked lazily, "How are you now? Don't you?" Tell me that you will continue to raise them."

Shen Zhao knelt on the ground and did not answer.He knew in his heart that he was not Rong Jing, and the emperor wanted to punish him, but compared to going to court every day, it was worth letting him kneel for three days to benefit from the things he had benefited from in the study of Prince Rong's Mansion in the past ten days.

"Jing thought that the emperor didn't want to see me, so he rested for a few more days." Rong Jing smiled lightly, dismissing Ye Qingran's words casually, "It would be great if the emperor really allowed to rest for a few more days."
