Your daughter's strategy

The emperor is ill.

First of all, he was angry. King Kang didn't know the severity of his anger, and it was nothing more than annihilation of the whole army. He actually became a prisoner of the Tartars. This is a stain that will never be erased in his life!

Secondly, I was also worried, even if Kang Wang Wanfu pointed it out, it was his son, and if something went wrong, he would not feel sorry for him to death.

He summoned Feng Yiquan's father, Feng De, and asked him what to do.

Feng De impartially helped King Kang with good words: "The battle report said that Lord Kang insisted on sending troops, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. But when the emperor thinks about it carefully, Lord Kang is the most cautious, not to mention that he is not good at sending troops. Fighting, he will not interrupt indiscriminately, it is something he is good at, and he will definitely think about it, why did he send troops so easily?"

The emperor sat up from the bed in shock: "You mean something strange?"

Feng De knelt down: "I said something to my heart, the important thing now is not to pursue who is responsible, but to quickly repel the Tartars and rescue Lord Kang. I hope the emperor thinks twice."

The emperor slowly lay back on the bed, but he was extremely shocked. He could hear the meaning of Feng De's words. King Kang didn't send troops rashly, so how could he be captured by the Tartars?There is no doubt that it was done by one of his own people, and Song Sanqi was single-handedly promoted by King Duan. If King Kang was secretly eliminated, he could be pushed on the Tartars and make King Duan the most suitable heir, killing two birds with one stone.

But the emperor couldn't believe it. He didn't believe that King Duan would do such a thing. He thought he had planned well for King Duan. As long as King Duan was patient, the throne would be his. I don't want to wait, is it really necessary to divide life and death?

The emperor closed his eyes.Instruct Feng De: "Go and call Bo Rang in."

The king of Ancheng County knelt outside the Chengde Hall since he received the news, begging the emperor to let him go to the northwest to rescue his father, and to allow Kang Wang to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, but the emperor did not agree, his two sons went to the northwest, if the eldest grandson also , there is no one around him, so he can't feel at ease, but Ancheng County King is determined.No one will listen to advice.

Feng De invited the king of Ancheng County in. He looked haggard, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down: "I beg your grandfather to be fulfilled. If my grandson doesn't go to the northwest, if something happens to my father, my grandson will hug me for life." of."

The emperor said helplessly: "Yang Minzhi went to the northwest. Your uncle also went to the northwest. He will definitely bring your father back."

King Ancheng didn't say a word. He also suspected that King Kang's matter was caused by King Duan.

He knows best what kind of person his father is. If he is not fully sure, he will definitely not send troops rashly, rather than being captured by the Tartars.It would be better to say that he was imprisoned by Song Sanqi, although Yang Minzhi went.But in the end, he was a soft-spoken person, and he might have been plotted against by Song Sanqi, and returned under the name of being killed in battle.

Xu Jinghuan said that something big must have happened in the Northwest. No matter what, he would go there as the emperor's eldest grandson to resolve this matter and clear King Kang of his charges.Otherwise, a prince who has been captured by the Tartars is not qualified to be an emperor.This may be the purpose of King Duan, then King Duan would never help King Kang in the northwest, and would even make things worse.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor said in a strict tone: "You are the eldest son, take good care of your mother and younger brother, don't worry about the outside affairs, if you insist on going your own way, what should you do if something happens to you?"

King Ancheng kowtowed, and said: "Grandfather, this time the grandson must go. If the father is really captured by the Tartars, he must give up the ancient city pass if he wants to survive, but the ancient city pass is a throat fortress. Really Wouldn't the father be a sinner through the ages if he let him out? Even if he survived, how could he have the face to see his grandfather? How can my son just watch and ignore it? My grandson is going to the northwest, firstly, to take the blame for his father, and secondly, if it comes to a critical juncture, he has to abandon his father, and grandson hopes to be the villain himself."

The emperor was shocked.

That's right, if King Kang is really in the hands of the Tartars and he doesn't let the ancient city gate pass, it is impossible for King Kang to survive. If it gets to that point, it is very important who gives this order.

Song Sanqi is a subject, not qualified. King Duan is the younger brother of King Kang, and he has always been at odds with each other. If it gets out, everyone will think that King Duan deliberately put his elder brother to death. Then King Duan will also be accused of disfraud .

Only King Ancheng is the most suitable one. He is the son of King Kang. If he proposed it on his own initiative, it will only make people think that righteousness and relatives will be killed, which is admirable.

The emperor didn't speak, but his hesitant look betrayed his mood. King Ancheng looked at Feng De, Feng De nodded secretly, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send the king to go, there is King Duan in front, the king The safety of the king is not a problem, besides, the county king has gone as the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it can also boost the morale of the emperor, which is the best."

The emperor nodded silently for a long time, the king of Ancheng was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and quickly left the palace to prepare.

However, Xu Jinghuan had already packed his bags, and was telling Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan: "We have prepared for the worst, and if we really get to that point, you know what to do."

Xu Peining said: "Second brother, don't worry, leave the family affairs to me, but I don't know if you want to take Miaoyun home?"

Xu Jinghuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "If that's true, the capital is actually more dangerous than there, so don't let her come back."

Xu Jinghan said worriedly: "Second brother, take care and come back safely." Xu Jinghuan smiled comfortingly, dressed lightly and rode lightly, and went with Dong Zicheng to King Kang's Mansion to meet Prince Ancheng.

Although the matter of King Kang's capture was deliberately concealed, following the departure of King Ancheng, the whole capital was still in a panic. Grandma Tang came to inquire about the news in person. Xu Jinghan met her in person and talked with her in the study. After waiting for half an hour, Second Grandma Tang didn't even see Mrs. Xu, and returned to Tang's house in a panic.

On the other hand, Xu Peining, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family and the eldest daughter of the Xu family, frequently visited the families in Beijing who supported King Kang. Now it's time to do your best and obey the destiny.Prepare for the worst and prepare for the best.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun was announced into the palace by the queen mother, who bestowed her as Jinghe Xiangu, so she returned to the palace again, not as a girl from the Xu family, but as Jinghe Xiangu. It's even easier to eat in the palace, with the support of the queen mother, whoever is full will go to mess with her.

On the first day she entered the palace, Xu Miaoyun learned from Princess Taining that King Kang had been captured and King Ancheng had left the capital.Hearing that Xu Jinghuan was also on the entourage, my heart felt as if I had fallen into a cold pool.

Tai Ning was a little melancholy: "Father is sick, and elder brother has an accident. Although the queen mother deliberately kept it from the truth, the queen mother knew about it and didn't respond. I just announced you into the palace, so you can relax with the queen mother. "

Xu Miaoyun said: "Princess told me about the situation. I live on the mountain and I don't know anything. Didn't you say that there are only a small group of Tartars? How did you get to the point where you were defeated and captured?"

Taining then told Xu Miaoyun a series of things that happened since the beginning of the Northwest War: "...Father is always talking about it now, saying that it would have been better if the third brother's leg hadn't been injured at that time. It wouldn't be where it is now."

Xu Miaoyun was silent, compared to a coincidence.She would rather believe it was a conspiracy.

Xu Miaoyun lived with Taining at night, and Xu Miaoyun couldn't sleep. Neither her brother nor Ancheng County King had a message for her before leaving. It stands to reason that my brother should be aware of the problem because of his intelligence. How could it be possible? What about not saying a word?

Or he left a message, but only told the eldest sister and second sister.Didn't tell myself?

Xu Miaoyun was a little frustrated, she was standing in the spacious palace.But she felt a kind of chill, the moonlight was just right, she was lying in front of the window in a daze, when suddenly something wet her cheeks, and when she looked up, it was actually snowing.

I was stunned for a while before I realized, yes, it’s already the twelfth lunar month, and this is the first snow after winter. Because of the Northwest War, time flies by. I don’t know when it will be so cold. .

As the capital is like this, it must be colder in the northwest. She silently made a wish, hoping that her brother and her sweetheart would return safely.

Xu Miaoyun stood for a long time, Taining was also awakened by the cold coming from the window, she rubbed her eyes and looked at Xu Miaoyun: "Why don't you sleep?"

Xu Miaoyun shook her head: "I can't sleep, I miss my brother."

Tai Ning said: "He is by Bo Rang's side, as long as Bo Rang is fine, he is not in any danger, and Emperor Father will definitely not let Bo Rang have any accidents, you just need to rest assured."

Xu Miaoyun nodded, and squeezed together with Taining: "Hasn't Concubine An said what she has done? Will she just watch Duan Wang go to the northwest?"

Taining's tone was a little disdainful: "No matter how much Concubine An is favored, she is still a concubine. If the emperor pampers her, she will be proud of it. If the emperor ignores her, she will be like that. But it is strange, she will grow up too. Well done, but I don’t have much knowledge, yet I am so fascinated by my father. The third elder brother went to the northwest, but she didn’t object. When she is unhappy, she will hold back, and she is very good at changing the direction of the wind. A while ago, the third brother was corrupt, and she kept silent. Now that the third brother is going to the northwest, she is full of boast. Not as good as the third brother, the queen mother got tired of hearing it, and asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the third brother."

Xu Miaoyun is thoughtful, a concubine who has been favored in the palace for decades, it is her nature to follow the wind and avoid disadvantages. Now that King Kang is captured, the queen is unhappy, but she hits the muzzle of the gun It's not what she should do to lead to punishment, and the emperor is sick, shouldn't she be there to serve him?

She asked Taining: "The emperor is sick this time, did Concubine An go to attend to the illness?"

Tai Ning shook his head: "It's strange to say that before, she would have gone up to greet her, but this time because the queen mother asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures, she stayed in the palace all day, so naturally she didn't have any sickness."

Xu Miaoyun nodded and didn't speak, but Taining lost sleepiness, pulled Xu Miaoyun and said: "Father separated you and Bo Rang, do you still hate him now? In fact, Father has already regretted it, but your brother is too irritating." I insisted on sending you to the temple, and my father felt that I would lose face, so I simply didn't care about it."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "I'm doing well in the temple, and I didn't suffer."

There was no mention of marriage, and Taining didn't continue to ask.

After living in the palace for two days, Tang Nannan came into the palace to see her and pulled her to babble, as if she hadn't seen her for more than ten years. Xu Miaoyun smiled and listened to her complaining about how the Second Grandma Tang was domineering and how she was dissatisfied with it. marriage.And when talking about Xu Peining's coming to find her, Xu Miaoyun was stunned: "My sister is looking for you?"

Tang Nannan said: "Rather than looking for me, it is better to say that they are looking for my mother. I don't know what they said."

Xu Miaoyun was a little worried, and Tang Nannan asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Miaoyun shook her head: "My brother went to the northwest, I'm worried about something happening at home." Tang Nannan didn't think so, but comforted her.

Although it was the twelfth lunar month, there was no festive atmosphere in the palace, and Xu Miaoyun was always by the Queen Mother's side all day long.Either staying with Taining would be more boring than living in the mountains, after Laba, Xu Miaoyun had gradually given up, and was peacefully copying Buddhist scriptures in the Empress Dowager's Palace, but Taining came to her quietly: "Yang Minzhi is back. "

Xu Miaoyun dropped her pen and followed Taining to trot all the way to Chengde Hall.

All the servants and maids of Chengde Palace stood guard outside the door.The leader, Eunuch Liang, stopped Taining: "The emperor and the queen are talking, and the princess will report later for you."

Taining waved his hand impatiently: "You don't need it, just keep quiet."

Eunuch Liang did not dare to stop Taining, thinking that when Princess Taining eavesdropped in the past, the emperor didn't take it seriously.Then he watched Taining and Xu Miaoyun helplessly as they entered the apse.

Across the heavy curtains, one could clearly hear Yang Minzhi's cold voice in the front hall: "...the minister took twelve people there. Three groups of people intercepted them on the road, and four died. After arriving at the ancient city gate, they found that the surroundings were heavily guarded. , The minister took out the emperor's decree and asked to see Song Sanqi, Song Sanqi saw the minister, but poured sweat medicine into the minister's tea. The minister was defeated and was put in prison. The emperor was hoeing traitors, but fortunately someone rescued him secretly, and the subject escaped. The person who rescued the subject was a knight-errant who called himself Dao. He said that he was entrusted by Xu Jinghuan to secretly protect Lord Kang, but who knew that Lord Kang was put under house arrest by Song Sanqi as soon as he arrived at Guchengguan When he got up, he found it strange that Lord Kang was not in danger of his life, so he hid it secretly, found out about Song Sanqi, and realized that Song Sanqi was going to be bad for Lord Kang, so he met Lord Kang, but Lord Kang told him to hurry up. Report back to Beijing that Song Sanqi is going to rebel."

Immediately there came the emperor's angry reprimand: "This Song Sanqi! So saying that the Tartars invaded is nothing at all?"

Yang Minzhi said: "It's true that the Tartars are coming, but there is only a small group. They saw that it was winter and wanted to grab something to eat, but Song Sanqi had already repelled them. He was safe and sound, and he didn't know what happened, and he didn't know that Lord Kang had arrived at the border. Da Dao didn't dare to leave Lord Kang, for fear that Lord Kang would be injured and he would not be able to explain it. Later, he rescued the minister and asked him to come back to report the letter, so he went to Guangning Wei He and Ning Yuanwei asked for help, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to rescue Lord Kang, but Song Sanqi had instigated Guangningwei and Ning Yuanwei's people, and it took him a lot of effort to escape. The minister came back to report the letter, don't bother him anymore, the minister thought that there was a big sword, so he came back to report the letter first."

The queen said: "Wait! No one stopped you on the road when you came back?"

Yang Minzhi was stunned for a moment, and said: "The minister is afraid of being intercepted, so he rests during the day and travels at night, but the journey went smoothly and he didn't meet anyone."

The Queen's voice suddenly became panicked: "King Duan led fifty thousand troops to Gucheng Pass to rescue, didn't you meet him on the way?"

Yang Minzhi's voice was very sure: "I haven't met you yet."

The emperor sighed heavily, followed by the queen's voice: "Dong Qi was put under house arrest as soon as she arrived at Gucheng Pass, Yang Minzhi was also plotted against, but when she came back, she didn't meet the [-] troops. Your majesty, don't you think that?" Is it strange?"

Taining was stunned when he heard that, but Xu Miaoyun quickly pulled her out. Taining felt baffled, and once he got out of Chengde Hall, he shouted: "What are you pulling me for?"

Xu Miaoyun's face was serious: "Haven't you understood? It's Song Sanqi who wants to rebel, and it's Prince Duan who wants to rebel. First, he lied about the military situation and let the emperor decide to send troops. King Duan broke his leg before going into battle, causing King Kang to travel instead. Besides, King Kang was defeated and captured, leading Ancheng County King to the northwest, and the emperor transferred several troops defending the capital to the northwest, resulting in an empty capital. If there is no accident, Yang Minzhi returned so smoothly. In King Duan's calculation, he asked Yang Minzhi to come back to report the letter, so that he would really tear his face, and he would kill the carbine. As long as he controlled the palace at that time, even if Lord Kang came back, he would be powerless. The commander of the guards and the commander of the five cities have already started to make some moves."

Taining panicked: "Then what should I do? I'll go and tell my father to know."

Xu Miaoyun said: "The emperor must have guessed it. I have to go home quickly. If King Duan controls the capital, the first ones that will not be let go are Kang Wang's mansion and Xu's family. I want to go back and protect my grandmother."

She pulled Taining and begged: "Princess, take me out of the palace, I can't stay in the palace."

But Taining refused: "You can't leave. If it's what you said, you will die if you go back. It's better to stay in the palace. I will protect you and no one will dare to touch you."

Xu Miaoyun smiled wryly, if it really came to that point, Taining might not be able to protect herself as the queen's daughter, let alone protect her, but what Taining said was right, it wouldn't help her to go home, there are big brothers and sisters at home Sister, she must be more thoughtful than her, she might as well stay in the palace and adjust accordingly.

As if to verify her words, the big bell on the roof of the palace library rang heavily, with a solemn and chilling voice.

However, Taining's complexion changed drastically, and he scolded the panicked court lady who followed far away: "Go and see, who is so brave to ring the bell of returning to the soul!"
