Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 144

Gu Qinghua's expectations were right, Mu Hongru had just been released from the Taimiao and returned to the mansion, within ten days and a half months, Mu Tiannan received the decree of favor and went back to the mansion to visit his relatives, which really surprised the court, and no one could understand What's going on between Her Majesty the Empress and King Cheng'en County!
Her Majesty the Empress suddenly snatched Mu Hongru's title of Prince of Discussion, and at the same time made Prince Li the Prince of Li, promoted Prince Li's son to work in the Ministry of Industry, and then promoted and employed many Gu family's children in one breath. Started to attack Mu Shi.

However, King Cheng'en, who was originally decreed to be imprisoned for a month, was released after only thirteen days. As soon as he came out, he went directly to the palace to meet him. , This is obviously another gesture of letting go of the suspicion.

Otherwise, what kind of honor would it be for the empress concubine to return to her natal family to visit her relatives?Why did His Majesty give Cheng En Prince's Mansion such a big honor for no reason!
What is the relationship between His Majesty and Duke Cheng'en?Is it safe and sound, or is it incompatible?All the ministers racked their brains and pondered over it, but the answers they got were all specious, and no one was sure.

However, everyone quickly changed their minds and stopped entangled in this matter.Because, it will be October [-] soon.

After returning to Luan from the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Qinghua made a decree early in the morning. On October [-] this year, he will go hunting in the Royal Enclosure of Ganquan Garden, [-] miles northwest of Zhaifeng City. Participate and show off your presence on the hunting grounds.

Everyone knows that this is another channel for selecting generals and guards of the Habayashi, but if there are nephews in the family who don't like reading and bowing horses, they will all be moved by this news.Whether he enters the Habayashi Army as an imperial guard, or is given a military post and puts it in the army, in the future, it is possible to stand out!At least, it's better than staying at home all day long!
There are also some people who faintly smell the factors of instability, and feel that if the conflict between His Majesty and Cheng'en County King is not resolved, the court will be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.Forget about those who are already in the game, there is no need for nephews to come in!
But the imperial decree has been issued, and everyone has to participate in the roll call, and no one dares to say anything, let alone pretend to be smart and think carefully in private, so they can only prepare in a proper manner.

Soon, it was October, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Neifu, and the Shang Palace Bureau were even more busy, making final preparations for the emperor's tour.The Shang Palace Bureau, the Neifu, the Ministry of Rites, and the Habayashi Army have already sent vanguard troops to live in Ganquan Garden to take care of the palace, allocate residences, and prepare for the hunting. Travelers are ten times busier.

Gu Qinghua's imperial driver started driving on the tenth day of October, and set off slowly from Zhaifeng City to Ganquan Garden.This trip was even more lively than going south, the court officials were almost gone, and all the top leaders of the yamen accompanied them, leaving only a few clerks and other gatekeepers.After all, Ganquan Garden is not far from Zhai Fengcheng, and the urgent delivery of the big event within [-] miles will take half a day!

Needless to say, Prince Cheng'en and Prince Li accompanied him as a matter of course.

The descendants of the Gu family also had a dozen or so people accompanying them, some of them served as guards of the Habayashi Army, which was still part of their duties. After a special decree came down, no one dared to say anything.Fortunately, the accompanying disciples of the Gu Clan were all cautious in their words and deeds, and they were very polite in dealing with others. There were quite a few compliments, and everyone's attitude towards them was obviously much better.

For this trip, the harem is equivalent to being emptied.Shao Qing, Su Jun, and Mu Tiannan all accompanied them.

Because of the presence of the emperor's husband, Su Jun naturally couldn't accompany Gu Qinghua every day like on the southern tour, but Shao Qing appeared by her side more often.Mu Tiannan saw it with a half-smile.

On October [-], the mighty hunting troops arrived at the Ganquan Garden with a hunting paddock in the Royal Garden of the Liangongyuan, which had a radius of [-] miles.

At this time, the local officials and several tribal kings in the nearby area had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Qinghua took Shao Qing and others to live in the Ganquan Palace, and lived in the core palaces in the central areas of Yichun, Guangliang, Qutai, and Zhongyu. Other aristocrats and other officials of the court lived in tents set up in the southeast and central south of the courtyard according to their grades.Although it is a tent, it is very tall and gorgeous, and it is spacious enough. Each family has its own system without interference.

As soon as he arrived in the garden, Gu Qinghua sent a decree to rest for two days, so that everyone could get familiar with the environment well, and they could also walk freely in the garden and enjoy the scenery in the garden. All are allowed to move around.On October [-], field hunting activities began in the Hongtai area to the west.

Gu Qinghua made a decree, and the young people naturally cheered. This place is densely forested, streams and waterfalls are everywhere, ancient trees are dense, the scenery is quiet, and there are countless birds and beasts. After finally getting out of the capital, who would dare to come out of the capital to such a land of geomantic omen? I couldn't bear it, so I left all the work of cleaning up the house to the family members, and took a little rest. Early the next morning, I gathered friends and companions in high spirits, carried a bow and arrow, and rode a horse and went out to play. Immediately, horses hissed and people's voices were clamoring in Ganquan Garden, and it became lively immediately.

The seasoned courtiers were very surprised, as usual, before the field hunting meeting started, they were not allowed to wander in the garden at will, which was disrespectful to the emperor.Moreover, if someone has ulterior motives and takes the opportunity to arrange some tricks in the depths of the dense forest or on the road that the royal driver must pass, what will happen if something unexpected happens?
The Minister of Rites invited Prince Li to speak to Gu Qinghua together. His words were very tactful and his meaning was very clear. Gu Qinghua just smiled disapprovingly and said: "You two lovers are too careful! The second field hunt is just for the enjoyment of the monarch and his ministers, so why be so cautious! Besides, the Habayashi Army has already arranged with the local government to patrol the mountains and forests. What can happen? If the two lovers are not too busy, you might as well go out too Walking around, the air in the mountains is good, which is also good for the body! Oh, I looked at the map, but I forgot to tell the young people that there are quite a few steep places in this garden, the mountains are high and the rivers are deep, and there are birds and animals You Duo, when you go out, you should go with your companions, take your servants with you, don't go out alone, and don't make any trouble!"

The Minister of Rites and Prince Li couldn't laugh or cry, so they had to say "yes" and retreat!Listening to the tone of His Majesty's instructions, it seems that she is too old!
Minister of the Ministry of Rites sighed, shrugged his shoulders slightly, spread his hands slightly, wanted to complain to Prince Li, but thought about his identity and held back.Instead, Prince Li patted him lightly on the shoulder to comfort him: "Your Majesty has a claim, so forget it!" It's not that he has never seen Gu Qinghua's methods before. This trip too!

The next day, apart from taking a walk in various palace gardens, Gu Qinghua spent the rest of the day in Guangliang Palace where he lived and didn't go anywhere.Until the evening, Fang took Xianglin and other three or five court ladies and eunuchs, surrounded by a group of majestic Yulin guards, out of the palace area, and came to a bonfire on the grass.

This piece of grass is hundreds of meters south of the tent residences of the accompanying noble families and court officials. Because the terrain is flat and open, and it is downwind from the residential area, and there is a gentle and clear river meandering by, so I went out today. The young boys who were hunting all chose this place as an ideal place for barbecue.

At this time, countless piles of large and small bonfires were lit on the vast grassland. The bright lights danced and swayed. It exudes a lively and lively atmosphere.

Gu Qinghua, Xianglin and others stood in the shadow of the dark night not far away, staring at the scene of fresh activities in front of them, they couldn't help but feel much happier.

"Let's go, let's join in the fun!" Gu Qinghua looked down at himself and smiled at Xiang Lin.Today she is wearing a moon-white silver-grey grape dark-pattern gown with a straight skirt. This was originally a man's style of clothing worn on a woman's body. It can't hide her identity as a woman at all, but it also shows a bit of chic and elegant posture that is rarely seen in women; The long hair is also tied high on the top of the head with a light yellow ribbon like a man's. Two long strands of hair tie hang behind the shoulders with the black oily hair; When folded up, it reveals a bit of elegance and extravagance.

The purpose of Gu Qinghua's coming to meet these new generation of dignitaries is to give them a good impression and gain support among young people. Of course, he can't hide his identity as an empress. However, wearing women's clothing is not suitable for such occasions. And the gauze skirt and Luoqun that expresses the gentleness and gracefulness of ordinary women are not in line with the aura of the empress. It is more suitable for such an ancient chivalrous girl like Haitang in the TV series she watched back then called No. [-] in the World.The heroic posture is also quiet and pretty, and the chicness reveals a bit of the unique charm of women.

Xianglin nodded lightly and gave a hum. She swept her gaze, followed Gu Qinghua, and walked with everyone to the young noble children who were sitting on the ground surrounded by the bonfire with laughter and laughter.

A group of 30 people came over, and there was a sergeant Habayashi standing upright and holding his head high. As soon as he came into sight, he attracted people sitting around and frolicking.

First, Qi Xuan, the youngest son of Qi Aotan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, accidentally looked up and spotted them. His pupils suddenly dilated, his mouth opened slightly, and he froze immediately, staring blankly at the people who walked over calmly.
