Unexpected Marriage Meets Mr.Right - V3.C33
Lou Muhai smiles, bows his hand and says respectfully, “thanks to the emperor, I am in good health. I feel honored to be able to defend the Northwest for Qiongyue town.” With a light cough and few greetings, Lou Muhai replied: “I’m going back to Beijing this time for what I said in the memorial. I have been ordered to guard the northwest. Although I have not been able to completely pacify the Northwest for many years, I can still suppress all kinds of movements of the bandits. But over the years, after Mu Cang took over as the leader of the bandits, their behavior became more ghostly. Especially in the past two years, they seldom came out to rob the travelling merchants, but they made enemies with the imperial court many times and provoked the military camp in the west of our town. In recent exchanges, I found that their weapons and armaments were more and more sophisticated, and the number of them was also increasing. I went to Beijing to meet the saints this time. I was really worried that they would continue to develop in this way. I was afraid that the northwest would be unstable, and I was even more worried that the bandits would collude with other forces to enable them to obtain so many sophisticated armaments in a short time. If this is the case, it will certainly threaten the mountains and rivers of our imperial vault. ”
Lou Muhai said, Yan Hongtian’s dark eyes just slightly raised, no anger on his face. He asked in a deep voice: “is there any change in Peicheng recently?”
“After observing for more than a year, I found no suspicious person entering Peicheng to connect with the bandits. But I still feel that their actions in recent years are very suspicious and dare not neglect them, so I went to Beijing to report them. ” Lou Muhai quietly looked up to observe Yan Hongtian’s face, as usual. Lou Muhai doesn’t understand. Since ancient times, the most intolerable thing for the royal family is to form a clique for personal gain and support troops with self-respect. The bandits have been around our northwest border for a long time, but now they still have a lot of armaments. The emperor is so calm and indifferent. It’s no wonder that in the past ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, most of the ministers still couldn’t understand the emperor’s mind.
With his back against the Dragon chair, Yan Hongtian gently rubbed the gold-plated decoration on the armrest of the chair with his ten fingers. His drooping eyes could not see whether he was happy or angry. The imperial study was so quiet that everyone could only hear his own breathing. Lou Muhai’s palms were sweating and his heart was faint with fear.
“Emperor, Mr. Shan has something important to see.” Gao Jin’s hasty steps and a little hasty announcement broke the oppressive atmosphere in the imperial study. Lou Muhai saw Gao Jin’s urgent appearance, and he must have something important to report. What he reported was more or less catching the wind. Lou Muhai didn’t dare to delay the emperor’s business. He quickly bowed down and said, “I’ll leave first.”
“Old general Lou doesn’t need to retreat. Just a moment. I will also discuss with the general about the bandits in the northwest. ” Yan Hongtian’s tone of voice is totally different from the repression of the room just now. Lou Muhai can’t understand the emperor’s meaning, but he doesn’t dare to say much. He stands by in silence.
“Xuan Shan Yulan.”
“Minister Shan Yulan, long live the emperor, long live the emperor.” Shan Yulan strides in, sweating. Empress dowager Yan Hongtian signals him to get up and asks, “Shan Qing’s family is in such a hurry. What’s the matter?”
Shan Yulan got up and said, “tell the emperor back. I’ve been ordered to collect clues and evidence about the old golden case. Just now, there is evidence that Ping ran, the Minister of criminal justice, had a great relationship with the golden case. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to interrogate him He has already committed suicide, leaving only a suicide note, which describes in detail how he conspired with the Minister of the Ministry of household to smuggle gold in Northwest China and frame the fault on guard Qu Ze. ”
After hearing this, Yan Hongtian only asked, “where is gold now?”
“Gold was shipped to the northwest as early as three years ago.”
The bandits in the northwest suddenly bought a lot of armaments. The silver is Treasury silver? Lou Mu Hai took a cold breath and looked up at the people in high position.
Sure enough, Yan Hongtian got up slowly, stared at Shan Yulan and said, “do you mean that millions of gold in my national treasury was smuggled to the Northwest for the use of bandits, and these reckless bandits still use my silver to buy military supplies and fight against me?” Yan Hongtian’s tone is very light. Shan Yulan and Lou Muhai feel a fierce attack at the same time. A storm is brewing in their dark eyes.
Shan Yulan doesn’t know about the northwest bandits’ purchase of military supplies. For a moment, he doesn’t know how to answer. Looking like Lou Muhai, he sees that old general Lou is dignified. Shan Yulan also guesses about it.
Both of them were speechless. They only heard a dull sound of “bang”. Yan Hongtian said angrily, “how can it be!”
The inkstone on the desk was swept off by the wide sleeves, and the thick black ink splashed all over the floor. The dark ink stained the bright yellow tablecloth and the emperor’s black brocade robe. Shan Yulan and Lou Muhai were all surprised. The people in the imperial study were so scared that they knelt down and said: “the emperor is calm.”
“Shan Yulan.”
“I’m here.” Yan Hong adds a cold ah, Shan Yulan hastens forward.
“I order you to go to the general’s house and pass my decree. I order Su Ling to lead the Su family’s army to set out today to encircle and suppress the bandits. Before the celebration, we must recover the gold! General Lou, you are familiar with the terrain of the northwest. You will assist general Su in the encirclement and suppression of bandits. ”
“I’ll wait for the order.” Two people dare not hesitate, come forward to receive a decree.
“This case…” Shan Yulan wants to say and stop, Yan Hongtian impatiently back: “this case is still questionable?”
The whole story of the gold case, the people who participated in the case, and the flow direction of gold are clearly written in the suicide note. The most important thing is that all the people involved in this case have died without proof. Even if Shan Yulan has the ability to communicate with heaven, he can only spit out two words at the moment: “No.””All back.”
“Yes.” Long Yan is angry, Shan Yulan and Lou Muhai have a look at each other, and they come out of the imperial study.
Just now, the emperor was sitting on the top of the Dragon chair, his mouth slightly raised, but the cold color in his black eyes was more and more frightening. Xiao Yu, who is in a hurry, shakes her head secretly. Just now she was checking the tea in the tea house of the side hall. The eunuch ran to say that the emperor was furious. She was so scared that she came to see what happened. Now it seems that the emperor is really angry this time.
Chenshi, stepping on the first sunshine in the morning, Poria cocos gently pushed open the door. In front of the half open window lattice, the familiar tall figure stood quietly. Her beautiful eyes looked at the rising sun outside the window. At the moment, she did not have the rebellious when she first saw her and the sadness when she saw her again. The whole person looked a lot colder, and also It’s a lot dimmer.
Poria cocos handed the warm towel to Qingfeng. Qingfeng took it and wiped her face. She sat down on the couch and yawned. Recently, she couldn’t sleep in bed and got up sleepy. I always dream at night, I don’t remember what I dream at night in the morning, and I have palpitations from time to time. She had never been like this before. Qingfeng laughed at herself. Since she entered the palace, it was estimated that her courage had been eaten by mice, and it was more and more useless.
With the sound of knocking on the door, Qingfeng looks up and sees Lan’er and Xia Yin enter the inner room one after the other. They both hold a gorgeous dress in their arms and go to Qingfeng for a salute. Xia Yin says in a low voice: “madam, the empress dowagers of the two palaces are holding a banquet in the royal garden to invite the masters of the beauty class and the ladies of various families to the banquet.”
Green maple slightly frown: “this is to do what?”
Facing Qingfeng’s impatient eyes, Xia yinrousheng explained: “the triennial blessing celebration is the biggest event in Qiongyue. At that time, merchants from all countries and important officials of the imperial court will come to gongyue to congratulate. The emperor and the Empress Dowager attach great importance to it. As the head of the six countries, Qiongyue should not be impolite, so…”
Qingfeng chuckled: “so the Empress Dowager will hold a palace banquet. The purpose is to take this opportunity to test the talents of your aristocratic families and concubines, and ensure that the performance of the celebration is wonderful, right?”
Xia Yin nodded with a smile.
“It was the same in the past years?” When Qingfeng was in Haoyue, he had heard of the wonderful performance at the dome Festival. In order to be elegant, the emperor Haoyue asked his sisters to draw a landscape painting of Yongle three years ago. It turns out that the performances of gongyue are all selected in this way. No wonder they are gorgeous.
Xia Yin pondered for a while and said, “this year seems to be particularly grand.”
Poria cocos smile, really grand. What are the talents and virtues of the aristocratic ladies in the capital? The nannies in charge of the beautiful girls in the palace know them very well. This is also to make it easy for the emperor and the Empress Dowager to match when they marry the prince or the important minister. In previous years, the candidates for the celebration performances were selected from a dozen or so people selected by the mothers. This year, it is the first time in recent years that they have worked so hard.
Poria cocos smile not language, Qingfeng nature don’t understand the twists and turns, she is like poetry, song Fu, can text good ink person, to dome Yue talented woman also often heard, heart had a little interest, back: “then go to have a look.” Glancing at the gorgeous clothes in their arms, Qingfeng chooses a set of the most regular but also the most suitable light purple skirt.
It’s not the first time that Qingfeng has come to the Royal Garden, but it’s at this moment that she deeply agrees with a word, which is full of flowers and confused eyes
What Xia Yin said was true. The Palace Banquet was really grand. The royal garden was very lively and dazzling. Not long after Qingfeng entered the palace, she didn’t know many of her concubines, let alone the daughter of a noble family. After a close look, she saw the empress Xin Yuening standing nearby and joking with several young ladies. It’s strange that she didn’t see huifei Zhen Zhen Zhen Zhen.
This is the temperament of a gorgeous woman, plus two dazzling scar, let Qingfeng everywhere, all attracted suspicious eyes and shallow discussion, Qingfeng squint, walk slowly.
There is a small space in the middle of the garden. There are five or six rows of stools on both sides of the space. Qingfeng goes to the back chair on the left and sits down. The queen takes a look at her while chatting and laughing. Soon she stops looking and continues to talk with the ladies. Since Yan Hongtian ignored her, Xin Yuening was also interested in her, and Qingfeng was happy.
Qingfeng looks around uninteresting. Suddenly, a beautiful shadow across the street makes her happy. It’s her sister! She how also came, nearby also stood a Jiao beautiful pretty woman, looked like that appearance, pours with the floor sunset Yan to have some similarities. Qingfeng is about to get up and go. The laughter around her suddenly quiets down. Qingfeng looks up and sees the empress dowagers of the East and the West meandering around with a group of eunuchs. On today’s occasion, both of them made up a lot, but by contrast, Yang Zhilan’s dress was relatively simple, with a kind smile on her face, while Lou Suxin was wearing an exaggerated dark red robe, with a gold belt showing her figure incisively and vividly. She wore a string of emerald green beads around her neck, with her arrogant look, which really made people dare not look down on her.
