Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 82

"Sister, that Jia Xichun has become a monk."

Daiyu was startled for a moment, but gradually she understood again.Youyou sighed and said: "Since it's her choice, let her go."

Mo Yu nodded. He didn't know if she did it voluntarily. In his opinion, Xichun is a rare and relatively sober Jia family. He will send someone to take care of her future life. As for the Jia family... I'm afraid there is nothing Hope to make a comeback again.Even if Jia Huan or Jia Lan are promising in the future, it won't be the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion in the past.The former prosperity and decay have withered since then, and I don't know whether to sigh or cherish.

In the Daiyuan of Yanwang Mansion, Daiyu was sitting under the window holding a book and reading seriously.Ziyuan came in and said: "Princess, Princess Beijing is here." Daiyu raised her head and put down the scroll in her hand and said, "Please come in quickly." After a while, An Xian came in with a smile and looked at Daiyu who was dressed in plain clothes. Sitting by the window, she couldn't help laughing and said: "In the past two years, you have become more and more pleasant." Daiyu gave her a helpless look and said, "Sister An Xian has become more and more lively in the past two years." An Xian I didn't care about her teasing, walked over, chose a seat and sat down, casually flipped through Daiyu's scroll on the table and raised her eyebrows: "Since when did my sister become interested in these?" Daiyu looked at it just now but It is a medical book.Daiyu said with a slight smile: "It's all about looking around when you have nothing to do. Why is Sister An Xian coming to me when you have time?" In the past two years, the young master of the Beijing Palace was able to dance and dance. The belt is big and sticky.People who are waiting for nothing are not allowed to be hugged, making An Xian very unable to get away.

An Xian said helplessly: "I can't get away, and you don't like to go out. If I don't come to see you, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a year or so. Back then, I never thought about you girl He is actually a ruthless person." Daiyu laughed and said, "If I go to your house often, I'm afraid Prince Beijing will not like it." An Xian has been busy taking care of her children for the past two years, and even Shui Rong has been left out in the cold. few.How could King Beijing allow others to come and rob him of his wife again.I'm afraid that even the first concubine of Yan Wang would have to sulk and blast out the door.

An Xian couldn't help laughing when she thought of her husband's sad appearance.Zi Yuan brought the tea, An Xian picked it up gracefully and took a sip, then Dai Yu laughed and said, "Sister An Xian came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

An Xian put down her teacup and looked around, "Where's your husband-in-law?" Daiyu said with a slight smile, "The emperor has something to announce that he has gone to the palace." An Xian looked at the gentle and beautiful smile on Daiyu's face, and knew The relationship between Daiyu and Huangfu Bingyan has become better and better in the past two years.Today's Princess Yan is the envy of Miss Qianjin, a famous lady in the entire capital.I have been married to Yan Wang for three years, and even though I have no children, I have never seen Yan Wang promiscuously outside or accepting concubines to enter the house.The rare times when the two of them went out together, they looked affectionate, and those rumors about Yan Wang's violent nature in the past were naturally self-defeating.Many officials, big and small, tried every means to send their daughters and sisters to Yanwang Mansion, but unfortunately they couldn't get in.After thinking for a while, An Xian said: "Do you know what the emperor invited Yan Wang into the palace for?" Daiyu touched her eyebrows lightly, and said: "Sister knows?" Daiyu also knows something in her heart, these few days Huangfu Bingyan was obviously busier than usual.Many official documents are piled high in the study.Huangfu Bingyan usually does not hide it from Daiyu deliberately when dealing with official affairs, so she also vaguely knows that the frontier is probably not peaceful again.An Xian nodded sadly and said: "Our lord said that there was a battle report from the border last night. The new Nanman king dispatched 20 troops to station at the border. I'm afraid there will be a war."

Daiyu took An Xian's hand and said with a smile: "The prince of Beijing doesn't need to lead the army, what are you worried about?" The king of Beijing Shui Rong is not a general, and has always been in charge of general government affairs, not military.An Xian shook her head and sighed: "Listen to the prince, he also wants to go to the battlefield this time. If Yan Wang agrees, he can also go to the battle." There is a bit of a dream of galloping on the battlefield with gold and iron horses.Daiyu looked at Anxian's sad face and said, "Is my sister worried about the Prince of Beijing?" Anxian smiled bitterly and said, "How can you not be worried? Sister, please don't laugh at me. I don't understand the general situation of swords and swords on the battlefield. Eyeless, if something happens..." An Xian couldn't continue, so she had to stop.It took a long time before he looked at Daiyu and said, "Sister, aren't you worried about Yan Wang?"

Daiyu smiled lightly, how could she not be worried?It is said that the Flame King is invincible all over the battlefield, but...how can anyone who is really worried be completely at ease because of such an undefeated reputation?The swordsman must die by the sword, and the general will inevitably die before the battle.Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart, as if she was being stabbed by a knife.Gritting her teeth, Daiyu said: "Worry is naturally worrying, but I can't stop him, can I? Sister An Xian." An Xian stared at Daiyu's gentle face, and finally smiled wryly: " Yeah, how can we stop them?" If you love someone, you can't stop his ideal.If he wants to travel around the mountains and rivers and enjoy himself at home, she should accompany him wholeheartedly and be a beautiful couple.If he wants to be high and powerful, give advice.She will socialize for her and make friends with noble ladies.If he wants to gallop on the battlefield, she will stay at home to take care of his mother, raise his children, and make him feel at ease.After thinking this through, An Xian smiled and said to Daiyu, "Seeing that I am getting older and more useless. When I think about this, I am confused. My sister laughed." Daiyu shook her head with a smile.How can you laugh at me?An Xian's mood is not her mood.It's just... how can she make him worry about herself when he is about to go to war?
In the study room of the imperial palace, Shui Cangming sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below.Huangfu Bingyan, sitting on the side of the separatist side.In the center of the hall, a woman in blue knelt down on the ground, looking very embarrassed in her dusty body.This woman is none other than Princess Amu of the Nanman Kingdom who went to Beijing to celebrate Shui Cangming's birthday two years ago.Shui Cangming casually tapped the table with his index finger, and said, "Princess Amu, you mean that Na Sangyan murdered the Queen of Nanman and took the throne?" Princess Amu seemed much calmer than Feiyang two years ago. , describing the weight loss must have suffered a lot.Kneeling in the center of the hall, Amu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. The queen mother was murdered, and Sang Yan also wantonly killed our Nanman royal family. Amu was rescued by the high priest and fled to Qinglong Kingdom. I beg Your Majesty to borrow Amu's soldiers and horses." Help me put down the chaos." Shui Cangming turned to Huangfu Bingyan with great interest and said, "What did the bulletin from the border say?" Huangfu Bingyan said indifferently: "The new Nanman king Sangyan led an army of [-] troops to station fifty miles away from the border. Ask us to immediately exchange the defected Princess Amu. If you are in charge, you will have to send troops into the customs." Huangfu Bingyan's voice was very flat, as if he was just saying that the weather today is good.

Shui Zhen sneered and said, "Is that Sang Yan crazy?" Although the Nanman had always been brave, the soldiers of the Qinglong Dynasty stationed at the border were not vegetarian either.It is simply impossible to fight against the Qinglong Dynasty with a mere [-] troops.

Shui Cangming hit the imperial case hard with his right hand, and said with a sneer, "Is this Sang Yan deceiving me that there is no one in Qinglong Dynasty?"

"No...not." Princess Amu said: "It's not just a hundred thousand troops...We never knew that Sang Yan had recovered some tribes of the Southern Man over the years. Last year...he killed the queen mother, made himself a queen, and Relying on the strength of the Nanman troops, they conquered the two largest tribes in the southwest. They also have deep relations with small countries such as Xiluo and Faqiang. So..." The so-called Nanman in the Central Plains actually does not refer to a single country, but a region. The area beyond Jialin Pass in the southwest of the Qinglong Dynasty has complex terrain, full of forests, poisonous substances, miasma, and scattered multi-ethnic tribes.Because of the harsh environment, the folk customs are generally tough.Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one from the Central Plains would go to Nanman even if they went to Beirong.There are many tribes and some surrounding small countries.The Nanman Kingdom is only a relatively powerful branch among them, and it is the closest to the Qinglong Dynasty, so it is well known to people.Shui Rong played with the folding fan in his hand and murmured: "That is to say... there should be at least 30 to 10 people? 40 people is just the number that Sang Yan wants us to underestimate the enemy?" Huangfu Bingyan said lightly: "There should be at least [-] people People, Princess Amu, is this king right?"

Amu said in a daze: "I don't know... Sang Yan is a lunatic. And... the soldiers in Nanman are not the only ones who can fight. No matter men, women, old or young, they can kill with knives. Those who did not listen to his words, whether they were the royal family, ministers, or ordinary people, were all killed. Now... I am afraid that the entire Nanman area is under his control." Huangfu Bingyan said: "Sang Yan said What’s the matter with the princess being his concubine?” Amu shook his head and said, “I’m not! Although Sang Yan forcibly won the throne, our country is the richest country in the entire Nanman region. The key to the treasure house is only the orthodox heir to the throne. Will know. He needs a lot of money, so he arrests me everywhere. The high priest was killed by him in order to save me! Your Majesty, Amu begs you, must avenge my mother and the people! Amu is willing to donate the treasures of Nanman to Your Majesty As a thank you!"

Shui Cangming did not answer Amu's request directly, but smiled and said: "The princess has come from a long way, it is very hard work. Why don't you take a rest first, I still have to discuss this matter with the princes and ministers." Amu also understands this matter Impossible to get an answer immediately, thanked Shui Cangming and went down with the maid who came to lead the way.The entire imperial study room fell silent for a while.Shui Cangming lazily stretched his waist and smiled: "How is it? What do you think of the three princes?"
