Raiders of His Royal Highness - Chapter 169
Before Qin Zhirong was dressed neatly, Yu Ling heard the sound of eager footsteps from outside the hall.
A round-faced little palace maid whispered from the door: “His Royal Highness Qi, Lord Huailu has something to ask for.”
Yu Ling frowned and walked into the inner room. Seeing that Qin Zhirong had just put on his coat and was walking to the makeup room, she said to her, “I’ll go to the study later to see Huailu.”
“You remember to have breakfast, you don’t have to wait for me.” She squeezed Qin Zhirong’s little face lightly, and after the instructions were made, she went out of the room and went to the study.
In the quiet study room, Huai Lu had been waiting for a long time.
He cupped his hands at Yu Ling, who slowly stepped into the room, and said without wavering: “Your Highness, there is news from Suizhou that Liu… Yu Sheng, who was about to flee to King Huainan’s army, has been captured. “
When Yu Sheng was not found in the palace, Yu Ling guessed that he should have gone all the way south and wanted to escape to the boundary of King Huainan to save his life.
After all, King Huainan was his biological father.
This King of Huainan is really a wolf’s ambition. As a vassal king who is out of five clothes, he does not stay in the fief honestly, but he wants to seize the throne.
More than ten years ago, Chen Jiarou changed her identity and was stuffed into the palace.
Even when he went to Beijing at the end of the year, he had an affair with Chen Jiarouzhu and gave birth to Yu Sheng, who had no royal blood.
It was such a scumbag that let the real Crown Prince and Princess Ningping fall into the water, one died and the other was frail and sick for many years.
Thinking of this, how could Yu Ling not hate it.
She didn’t want to make Yu Sheng feel better. After thinking about it for a while, she chuckled and asked Huailu, “Has the King of Huainan know this news?”
When the King of Huainan sent troops to the north, it was she who passed false news to him under the guise of the hand of a concubine. Now that the concubine Rou was dead, Yu Sheng was forced to flee the capital, and the King of Huainan could no longer recall the army.
I don’t know what will he do after his own son is caught?
Is it to disarm and surrender to protect the son, or to give up the fight regardless of the safety of the son’s life?
However, Yu Ling felt that, according to King Huainan’s wolf ambitions, he was afraid that he would choose the latter.
After all, even if he disarms and surrenders, he is still a traitor. Even if he can use an excuse to erase the suspicion of sending troops to rebel, his status as a vassal king may not be preserved.
But if you give it a try and succeed, you will ascend to a high position and sit on the rivers and mountains of the Jing Dynasty.
Sure enough, Huailu replied, “The King of Huainan already knew the news, but he told Kang Yue, who was leading the army, to ignore it…”
That’s fine, anyway, Yu Ling doesn’t bother to deal with these people anymore, it’s better to fight them all at once.
“The king of Huainan sent 80,000 horses to the north, how many troops are left in the Huainan area?” She rubbed her chin, thinking that the people from Yu Langling would fight face to face with the king’s troops. Not much good.
It would be better to recruit from the bottom of the pot and clean up him as soon as possible.
“This Huaining didn’t report.” Huailu replied truthfully.
Yu Ling nodded and waved at him: “Tell Huaining, secretly check how many people are left in Huainan, if there is no one, then quietly send a rushing army to the king’s nest of Huainan. How to do it, let him and Yu Lang and Yuan Lie will discuss it.”
Huailu understood what Yu Ling meant and answered in a low voice.
Now that the third prince Yu Lang was in the team led by the previous prince is no longer a secret, even if some people feel it is very strange, but because Yu Ling killed Wu Weiyou just after supervising the country, these people did not Dare to talk nonsense.
Maybe they had guessed that Yu Ling was the driving force behind the second and third princes and even Yu Sheng, but they would not accuse Yu Ling of being cruel and scheming.
Therefore, at this moment Yu Ling remembered Yu Lang, who was still serving her outside Beijing, and said to Huailu: “I’ll go to announce the will of this palace later, release Concubine Yi from the cold palace, and live in Lin Lin temporarily. Inside the hall.”
“There is also Yu Lang’s father-in-law’s family, and General Shangguan’s mansion has also been released from prison. The third prince and concubine are placed in the original third prince’s mansion, and more comfort.”
After all, Yu Lang is different from Yu Feng. His desire for the throne is optional. Before, it was only for Concubine Yi and General Shangguan’s family that he thought about fighting for the throne.
Now that he has been used by her peacefully, she will not be too harsh, who is righteous and tolerant, so she will release the family members he cares about, so that he will have no worries outside Beijing.
After explaining everything, Yu Ling stepped out of the study and heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
She frowned slightly and walked out, and saw a group of little palace maids holding a woman in a bright yellow palace dress.
“County Lord, without His Highness’s permission, you can’t walk around at will…”
“…The county master should go back, His Highness Jing did not summon you…”
Yu Ling stood at the door with her hands behind her back, watching the maids try their best to stop Zhong Qianmeng who wanted to come over.
Why is this annoying cousin again?
She said in a deep voice, “What are you doing?” She had already received the news when Emperor Jing Ming had stuffed Zhong Qianmeng into her East Palace.
She originally thought that she would solve this trouble when she came back, but at that time she came back in a hurry, and all her heart was on Qin Zhirong, so she didn’t have time to clean up this troublesome spirit.
Now that she bumped into it herself, don’t blame her for not showing mercy to her.
Zhong Qianmeng, who heard Yu Ling’s rather cold voice, hurriedly looked over, and saw Yu Ling in a black cloak standing at the door.
Qing Jun’s face became colder and arrogant in winter, his half-squinted eyes glowed like a star river, and even his tightly pursed lips seemed to exude a charming demeanor, which made her very fascinated.
Just as she was looking at her cousin whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, the man walked slowly to her side and said to her in a cold voice, “No loud noise is allowed in the East Palace, as a prisoner, how can you be so unruly. ?”
Hearing Yu Ling said that she was a ‘prisoner’, Zhong Qianmeng blushed when he came to his senses: “Cousin, I’m not, the emperor’s uncle has decreed that I am innocent… and my uncle also gave me a gift. I gave it to you…”
At the end, her face became redder and her voice became smaller and smaller, with a happy gesture of her little daughter.
Seeing this, Yu Ling felt a little disgusted.
This cousin is probably a little crazy. Not long after her father was sent to death, her mother was still in prison. At this moment, she called out her uncle to Emperor Jing Ming who ordered her father to be executed.
She took a few steps back and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, but Ben Gongjing has not received any will from the emperor.”
“Come here, put Zhong Qianmeng in the prison to reunite with Princess Yunfu’s mother and daughter.” She brushed off the corner of her clothes and announced Zhong Qianmeng’s ending in a low-key manner.
The cold wind in February was very biting, blowing on Zhong Qianmeng’s body, she actually felt that the chill in her heart was much more raging than the cold wind on her body, making her feel like she was in an ice cellar, and the heart-wrenching cold was overwhelming.
She didn’t understand why her cousin had been reluctant to accept her.
She has been in love with her cousin for so long, and she wants to be her wife, but why does her cousin always see no part of her?
“Cousin, I really love you, why don’t you want to take a look at me?” She threw herself at Yu Ling’s feet, tears rolling down her eyes.
She raised her head unwillingly, trying to see a trace of pity for her in Yu Ling’s eyes.
But Yu Ling didn’t even bother to give her alms from the corner of the eye, and took a few steps back: “Will you pull her down soon?”
When several guards heard the words, they rushed forward and dragged Zhong Qianmeng back.
“Cousin…I’m not guilty…I don’t want to go back…Cousin…I have loved you for so many years…Cousin…”
As Zhong Qianmeng’s voice gradually disappeared outside the courtyard, several palace maids who had been blocking her also knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Yu Ling waved his hand, absolving them of their sins and letting them go.
…
The prince has been in charge of the country for more than a month, and the court is gradually getting on the right track. The ministers have also gradually figured out the prince’s temperament, but they have put away the original laziness and laxity, and have also paid attention to their own duties.
Regarding another major event, the King of Huainan raised an army to rebel. With the alliance of the hussar general Yuan Lie and the third prince Yu Lang, the army of the King of Huainan was retreating steadily.
After the previous King Huainan was plotted against by the people who Yu Lang secretly sent, he became a lot more cautious, and let the returning troops stick to Huainan, but Yu Lang and Yuan Lie’s troops could not shake him in the slightest.
This morning, the 800-mile urgent secret letter was sent to Yu Ling.
The civil and military officials below secretly looked at the prince who was sitting on the royal chair at the top. Seeing that her face was calm, she did not know what was written in the secret letter from the front line.
After a while, Yu Ling laughed softly after reading the letter.
She casually handed the letter to Eunuch Zhang: “Show all the adults how ridiculous this King of Huainan is.”
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang bowed and took the secret letter with both hands, walked down the steps, and handed it to Lu Zhenglan, the minister of Dali Temple, who is now the first person in the court: “Lord Lu, please read.”
Lu Zhenglan took it with both hands and read the letter word by word. He raised his head in shock to look at Yu Ling with a smile on his face, and then handed the letter to another courtier beside him. He said to Yu Ling, “The King of Huainan is so daring, how dare he hand over this negotiation letter!”
What was written in the letter was exactly what King Huainan wanted to ask for peace, and he also wanted to use the Nanjiang River as the boundary, the Jing Dynasty in the north, and his territory in the south.
If you want to proclaim yourself emperor, entrenched in the south of Nanjiang!
He just saw that General Yuan Lie and the others couldn’t cross the Nanjiang River to attack them, that’s why he brought up such a maddening thing!
Lu Zhenglan was very angry. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t lead the army as a civil servant, he would have wanted to go to the front to fight and take down the head of the king of Huainan, who had his nose on his face!
Other ministers who had read the secret letter also scolded the King of Huainan for not knowing what to do, and the court was very lively for a while.
