Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 242 Drumming Ming Zhi
Lin Runyu didn't take her eyes off the ledger, she stretched out her hand behind her to catch the lamp that Huang Chenyan handed over.

It's just that he moved his hand back and failed to touch the handle of the lamp, but the clear sound of yellow dust and smoke came from his ears.

"My lord, I want to go to the frontier."

"what?"

Lin Runyu looked up at her as if she didn't hear clearly.

But Huang Chenyan just looked at Lin Runyu with a firm expression, and said again what he had just said.

"I want to go to the frontier to join the war."

She said frankly: "Nowadays, the frontier battle situation is so dangerous. It is still unknown whether we Dalai can keep the last line of defense on the frontier. My concubine sits at home and has nothing to do every day. I often think about the battle situation and live very uneasy. It’s better to go to the front line to have a look in person, to be able to contribute to the country and to be able to explain to my father.”

Huang Chenyan's words ignited Lin Runyu's anger like a firecracker. He threw the account book on the table and glared: "It's ridiculous, why are you going to the frontier as a woman? No matter how tense the battle is, there will be generals from the frontier watching. Why are you so careless? what!"

Originally, he was not satisfied with Huang Chenyan's wealth. If she was the daughter of a powerful minister, then he wouldn't have to work so hard now, and could have another helper. But Huang Chenyan is just an orphan of a martyr. , Bai occupies the status of his concubine, and now he is talking about why he wants to join the war, it really doesn't make him worry.

Lin Runyu's objection was expected by Huang Chenyan. She didn't think Lin Runyu would immediately accept her idea, but since she had made up her mind, she had to do it.

"Master, I heard from my concubine that the war is imminent and Dalai is in danger at any time. If the Xiongnu can leave our Dalai border sooner, our Dalai can also live a peaceful life sooner. Concubine As the daughter of General Jingwu, she wants to inherit her father's wishes. Although the frontier is full of dangers, thousands of soldiers are not afraid of danger. How can Chenyan be afraid? These days, Chenyan often reads military books to learn formations, and now he is going to the frontier Maybe I can contribute to Diners”

Before Huang Chenyan finished speaking, Lin Runyu interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand.

"Don't talk about it! You are the official concubine of this son, you should act prudently, and always bear in mind the responsibility of a concubine, and you must not go to the frontier thousands of miles away to make troubles, so as not to embarrass this son!"

Not to mention that Lin Runyu doesn't believe that Huang Chenyan has any ability to do anything. The frontier is mixed with fish and dragons, and the barracks are full of men. If he came back with a bad reputation, where would he put his dignified son's face?

"But I"

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Lin Runyu sternly reprimanded, picked up the notebook on the table and stuffed it into the sleeve, "This prince will never agree with his concubine to do something embarrassing, as long as you are People in the Lin family must abide by the rules of the Lin family every day, and absolutely don't have any unreasonable thoughts!"

After he finished speaking, he let out a cold snort and threw off his sleeves and strode out of the study.

Huang Chenyan didn't say a word in the end, she looked at Lin Runyu's furious back, her eyes were as deep as a deep pool of autumn water, and she let out an inaudible sigh at the moonlit night where the jackdaws were screaming.

Lin Runyu thought that after she severely reprimanded Huang Chenyan, she would never mention the absurdity of going to the frontier to join the war.Indeed, as he wished, after that night, Huang Chenyan never mentioned a single word about the frontier to him.

The current situation was tense, and Lin Runyu didn't put all his attention on Huang Chenyan, thinking that the matter was over like this.

But three days later, when Lin Runyu was discussing various matters with him at Xiaqin's mansion, servants from Prince Lin's mansion rushed to the Prince's mansion to report to him.

It was said that Huang Chenyan put on the silver armor she had been hiding in the box, and carried a red-tasseled short spear, and stepped out of Prince Lin's mansion in a heroic and neat attire, and entered the palace.

That silver armor was Huang Chenyan's old age when Jiji was old, Ming Shengdi specially ordered someone to make it for her to imitate the silver armor that General Jingwu used to wear, saying that it was to commemorate General Jingwu, and specially took care of the only one left behind by her. daughter.

It's just that Huang Chenyan felt that seeing things made him think, and he had never touched that armor, let alone put it on.Although she brought the silver armor into Prince Lin's mansion along with the dowry, Lin Runyu didn't care about it this year.

But today, Huang Chenyan entered the palace wearing an imperial armor and holding a red-tasseled spear, which undoubtedly made Lin Runyu panicked.

He instantly remembered all kinds of words that Huang Chenyan had said to him three days ago, and he understood that Huang Chenyan entered the palace to ask for grace in front of Ming Shengdi!

Lin Runyu was so angry that she borrowed a fast horse from Xiaqin, rode it into the palace, and wanted to tie her back before Huang Chenyan threw him a bigger man.

At the same time, Huang Chenyan had already walked to the announcement bell platform in the palace.

The Xuanzhong Tower is close to the Qianqing Palace, and there is a large bronze bell on a one-foot-high wooden platform that is spacious in all directions. If there is any important event in the palace, the eunuch in charge will ring the bronze bell according to Ming Shengdi's will. To show everyone in the palace.

But now Huang Chenyan was standing in front of the bronze bell as tall as a person, with her waist straight, she raised her head and glanced at the mighty bronze bell, and after a while, she picked up the hammer that was put aside without hesitation. The bell hammer, swinging both hands towards the copper bell.

The bronze bell rang in response, and the solemn and solemn bell spread far away with the beating of the yellow dust and smoke.

The bronze bell used to signal the people in the palace rang at this time, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. People passing by the Xuanzhong Tower stopped, looked at the woman in silver armor on the high platform, and talked a lot.

The constant sound of the bell attracted the attention of many people, and the sound spread to the nearby Qianqing Palace, which even attracted the Luanjia of Ming Shengdi.

Ming Shengdi thought that someone had the audacity to desecrate the bronze bell, but when he saw Huang Chenyan in silver armor standing on the high platform striking the bell, he froze.

"Yellow dust smoke? What are you doing here?"

Ming Shengdi's majestic voice sounded, and he sat on the dragon chariot and squinted his eyes to look at Huang Chenyan.

After hearing Ming Shengdi's voice, Huang Chenyan put down the bell hammer, walked down from the high platform with straight steps, raised both hands and bowed to Ming Shengdi, then lifted his robe and knelt down on his knees.

"Your Majesty, the servants are striking the bell here for Mingzhi."

Emperor Ming frowned deeply, and said in displeasure: "Do you think that where the imperial palace is, the solemn announcement bell will allow you to strike it immediately? Besides, what are you doing with such a dress?"

Huang Chenyan shook his head.

"I don't dare, but my daughter wants to declare Zhong Mingzhi, and implore the emperor to allow my daughter."

She said firmly, then touched her forehead to the bottom again, and bowed deeply to Ming Shengdi.

"My daughter begged the emperor for permission to let my daughter go to the frontier to fight against the Huns!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a low cry from around, everyone looked at Huang Chenyan in disbelief, and even Ming Shengdi showed disbelief.

"Are you going to fight?" Ming Shengdi raised his eyebrows. Although Huang Chenyan was dressed up in front of him, he did have the appearance of a female general, but if he remembered correctly, Huang Chenyan is now Prince Lin's concubine. Such a sudden call for battle really surprised him.

"That's right, my ministers and daughters are listening to the situation on the frontier every day. The Xiongnu bandits are rampant, killing the people and killing the generals. The behavior is really heinous. If they are not driven out of Dalai, what are the common people and what are the soldiers Gu!"

She spoke word by word in her cool voice, with a steady and firm attitude in front of everyone, coupled with the innate heroic spirit of her descendants, Ming Shengdi couldn't help but look at her words with admiration.

"But...you are a little girl, how can you go to battle? Could it be possible that you can also rush to the front of the team to kill the enemy like a man?" Ming Shengdi shook his head with a smile. She has such a good heart, but she is just a woman As a general, it is indeed of little use.

I saw Huang Chenyan raised his head neither humble nor overbearing, looked directly into Ming Shengdi's eyes, cupped his hands and said: "Marching and fighting do not necessarily rely on force, but more importantly, brains. Although the servants have no power to restrain chickens, they are familiar Reading military books, I know the strategy of deploying troops for marching and fighting. Baiyunguan is the burial place of my deceased father. My daughter knew that place very well since she was a child. Compared with the generals in Shangjing, she has an advantage of knowing the terrain. Moreover , as the daughter of General Jingwu, I should follow the wishes of my deceased father and serve the country and the emperor!"

Her every word and every word surprised Ming Shengdi, a little girl can have such ambitions, she is the daughter of General Jingwu.

However, before Ming Shengdi expressed his opinion on Huang Chenyan's words, a person hurried over from Xuanzhongtai, he rushed forward in a panic, knelt down in front of Ming Shengdi, and opened his mouth a little excitedly. mouth.

"Your Majesty, the servant came late and failed to stop Chen Yan from talking nonsense in front of the Emperor. Please punish him!"

Lin Runyu bowed her head and kowtowed, and when she got up, she gave Huang Chenyan a hard look, and then said to Ming Shengdi: "I heard that she had some ridiculous ideas early in the morning, and I warned her once. I thought she would give up on this, but who knew that she sneaked into the palace while going out behind the back of the ministers, and messed around in front of the emperor, it really shouldn't be!"

Ming Shengdi didn't respond to Lin Runyu's high-sounding reproaches, but continued to look deeply at Huang Chenyan, who was kneeling and straightening his back, and turned a pair of cloudy dragon eyes.

"Are you really willing to go to the frontier? The yellow dust and the bitter cold in the frontier can't compare to the richness in the capital. As a mere girl, you go to the frontier to join the army, can you really suffer? If you regret your momentary fever when you get there, I'm afraid it's too late." Now, according to the laws of Dalai, deserters should be executed."
