==Chapter 103 Mid-Autumn Festival==
After the results of the joint trial of the smuggling case came out, the abuse from the people came like a tidal wave. Chu Jiangya, the son of Chu Luwei, refused to accept the verdict, found a scapegoat, defended his injustice, and reported it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Everyone in the world is staring at this case. If someone beats the drum to complain, then it must be done in accordance with the regulations.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate re-examined the case, and after seven days, handed it over to Dali Temple for finalization.
In the early morning, Su Huai'an, the young minister of Dali Temple, signed up to report the results of the retaliation investigation: "Chu Luwei was guilty of smuggling, corruption, forgery, and forming a party for personal gain. The evidence is conclusive. The crime is true. He should be hanged and confiscated." The family property was confiscated to show fairness. However, his son Chu Jiangya deliberately gave false testimony and was repeatedly prosecuted, making this case more complicated. Falsely accusing others is also a felony, and I hope your Majesty will punish him severely."
The third division seconded the motion.
Civil and military officials were whispering to each other.
The emperor personally took control of his mother's family to establish his authority, which shocked everyone in the government and the public.
Just when everyone thought that Chu Jiangya was going to die for this, the emperor only raised his eyes and said: "Chu Jiangya knows the law and breaks the law. He is worthy of being compiled by the Hanlin Academy. From now on, he will take off his official robe and seize the Jinshi." Born, I will be able to serve as an official in the court in this life."
The results of the joint trial soon reached Cining Palace.
Gonggong Zhang said: "Queen Mother, please rest assured. Your Majesty only dismissed the Sixth Young Master from his position and did not imprison him."
The Queen Mother Chu's hand holding the medicine bowl was trembling slightly, and her breathing became more and more rapid, "Then the Ai family should thank him for his mercy..."
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. The Duke of the State has sent someone to tell you to take good care of yourself and take good care of your health. You must be worried about the Sixth Young Master. He also said that this Hanlin Academy compiled and preserved this document. Stay, he is responsible for the Chu family, so it’s .”
The Chu family was in trouble, but after that day, the Queen Mother Chu really fell ill.
Although the emperor occasionally went to pay his respects, as he said, it was just to pay his respects.
************
The north wind is blowing, the mist is falling, the clouds are falling, there is autumn rain and cold.
There was a lot of discussion in Yangxin Hall.
After a moment, Eunuch Sheng pushed in the door and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to see you."
"Call him in."
As soon as He Shangshu entered the hall, he saw a map on the table that was two feet wide.
The senior cabinet minister, Lu Ze, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Su Huaian, the young minister of Dali Temple, He Changzhi, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Mu Changying, the governor-general of the Fifth Army, were all there.
"Wei minister pays homage to His Majesty."
"He Shangshu gave me a seat."
When an army goes to war, it always perishes if there is no baggage and perish if there is no food. The first thing Xiao Yu asked was: "If the war starts in winter at the latest, how will He Shangshu prepare the food and grass?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the three hundred thousand stones of grain and grass will be shipped in five days. They will be transported by Xinlu Waterway first, and then transferred to the inn. The grain and grass will arrive within twenty days."
Xiao Yu twisted the ring in his hand and looked at Governor Mu, "At the end of October, Governor Mu will go north with me. You and Governor He will guard the rear in Yuzhou to guard grain and grass. If there is a surprise attack, his two Thousands of cavalrymen guard the place."
Dudu Mu said: "The humble minister accepts the order."
He Shangshu had just arrived, and he knew that the emperor wanted to go on a personal expedition. He suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty's old injury has not healed, and the prince is young. It is really not suitable for you to go on a personal expedition. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Xiao Yu said calmly: "I invited myself to go to the northwest for two years, and I know the climate and terrain there best. I have my own plans for the expedition myself, so He Shangshu will not say more."
When the emperor mentioned this, he obviously made up his mind.
He Shangshu sighed softly, it should be.
Su Huai'an added: "There is a general in Qi State named Chang Qingge. This man is cunning and skillful in military affairs. Sixty thousand soldiers of our court died in his hands. I fought with him several times when I sneaked into Qi State. This time we met, I said I know myself and the enemy, but I already know this person a little bit, so I invite you to speak with me."
"Accurate."
Xiao Yu used the town ruler to re-lay out the map in the north direction, and used flags to connect the three places into a line, "Yuzhou is surrounded by Ximen Mountain, and there is a dense river in front of Langzhou. They are both easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Qi people want to invade, they will definitely attack Qingzhou first, just like they did years ago."
He Changzhi, the Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty wants to send more troops?"
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "I want to send an additional 30,000 troops, but the northwest is very cold and the army will encounter wind and snow in the winter months. He Shilang remembers to mobilize troops from the north."
He Changzhi said: "I obey your orders."
......
The war was about to start. Xiao Yu had not gone to the harem to sleep in the harem for several days except for the dinner party in Jingren Palace. In the blink of an eye, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On August 15th, the full moon festival, civil and military officials finally had a three-day vacation.
Rewards for each palace in the harem followed.
Except for He Shuyi and Xu Shuyi, no one else was promoted to Jieyu.
As soon as the sun climbed over the treetops, the storehouse of Jingren Palace was filled with flowing rewards.
The prince, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, came to Jingren Palace with several boxes of mooncakes and said with a smile: "My Lady, these mooncakes this year are not made by Guanglu Temple, but specially prepared for you by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Meringue mooncakes are made with refined butter and dough. You see, there are sugar fillings, fruit fillings, date fillings - sweet ones, and sesame, pepper and salt - salty ones. You can eat whichever one you like. The slave said, I'll send it to you again."
When the maids and eunuchs of Jingren Palace saw Wang Fusheng's dog-legged appearance, they really pursed their lips and gritted their teeth to keep from laughing.
Maybe it was because his smile was so festive. Qin Juan could not help but raise the corners of her mouth when she looked at him, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Then reward .
Wang Fusheng acted as if he had never seen it before, bowing and taking it.
Turns his head, his smile faded, and he led the little **** under his hand to the West Sixth Palace.
Qin Juan looked at the row of black lacquered food boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl and Eight Immortals pictures in front of her, and rubbed her brows uncontrollably, "This is too much, Zhu Xin, I will keep one box, and you will leave the rest." Let’s share it with everyone.”
Zhu Xin took it and said with a smile: "Hey, thank you so much, Madam."
The weather was just right at noon. Qin Juan was drinking tea and admiring the scenery. Zhu Lan slowly walked over and said, "Your Majesty."
Qin Juan turned around and said softly: "Is something wrong?"
Zhu Lan met Qin Chan's eyes and clenched her fist.
Everyone in Jingren Palace knew that Empress Zhaoyi had a gentle temperament and was always lenient to others, but lenient treatment was lenient treatment. However, for so long, except for Aunt Yuan, she rarely got close to them.
Zhu Lan mustered up her courage and said: "There is never a dinner party during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is your Majesty going to enjoy the scenery with His Royal Highness in the courtyard tonight?"
There is never a dinner party during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Always?
Qin Juan frowned slightly.
Zhulan reminded her in a low voice: "The Queen left in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year of the year, so Your Majesty will always hold dinners on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
When mentioning the fifteenth day of August in the first year of Yanxi, Qin Juan’s temple suddenly jumped.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Qin Juan rubbed her temples, looked up at her and said, "Zhulan, since it's a festival, you have to be restrained and feel free in the backyard. I'm too comfortable, so it's different. You don’t appreciate the moon."
Zhulan said again: "Where do you feel comfortable, my empress? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"
"Yes, it's nothing serious, you can go down."
Zhu Lan retreated.
Qin Juan took a nap for a few hours, and when she woke up, the full moon had already broken through the clouds.
The backyard of Jingren Palace was bustling with activity, and no one expected that the emperor would come.
Looking at the emperor, who was dressed in moon-white uniforms, the palace servants immediately knelt down and said, "This slave is discourteous, please punish me."
"No courtesy, please go down."
After saying that, Xiao Yu pushed open the door of the inner room.
He sat next to her, looked down at her, and whispered: "Are you asleep?"
Qin Juan immediately sat up and said, "How come your majesty is so free that you don't have to discuss anything today?"
"If I keep lying again, the courtiers will look down on me." Xiao Yu took her hand.
Qin Juan rubbed her eyes and said, "Is your majesty ready for dinner?"
Xiao Yu asked instead, "Have you used it?"
Qin Juan shook her head, "Not yet."
Xiao Yu said: "Aling, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a lantern festival outside the palace. Do you want to see the lanterns?"
Lantern festival.
It must be said that some things are just coincidences.
She used to always look forward to going to a lantern festival with her husband, but he was in Beijing and had nothing to do. There are three Shangyuan and a full moon. They have never seen a lantern festival.
Xiao Yu squeezed her palm and said, "Let's go."
Qin Juan exhaled very softly and said: "Then you me."
He smiled and said: "Okay."
Qin Wanwan **** an ordinary woman’s head. Get on the sedan with him.
As night falls, the night market in Dongzhimen comes to life. Qin Lou, Chu Pavilion, wine shops and restaurants, all elegant places where you can stay and admire the moon are crowded with people.
These restaurants are magnificent, with uneven five-color light **** hanging on them, threaded with colored silk, like beads and clouds, like a dream.
After getting off the sedan, Xiao Yu bought two masks, handed one to her, and the two of them put on the masks.
He held her fingertips and without saying anything, he slowed down and walked quietly on Yunli Long Street.
The long street is bustling with traffic and bustling with people. On both sides, there are people who come out to perform in response to the occasion. There are people who blow fire and swallow knives, and there are monkey performers, and all kinds of small vendors are selling their goods one after another, and the sound is louder than the other. It can be said that it is unprecedentedly lively.
After a long while, Xiao Yu lowered his head and called her name, but the candied haws sellers around him were too enthusiastic, and the man's low voice was drowned in the sea of people.
Qin Juan stood on tiptoe and held her ear over, "What?"
Xiao Yu gently held her waist, leaned down, and almost touched her ear with his lips, "I asked you if you are cold?"
The hot air sprayed on the auricle, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub it against the itch.
Qin Jing shook her head and pulled his hand.
Xiao Yu understood and leaned over again to hand over the ear.
He heard her say it twice, I'm cold and I'm hungry.
With a smile in his eyes, the man led her to an old shop - Baoyue Zhai on Yunli Long Street.
The facade of Baoyuezhai is very grand, with a gilded yellow rosewood signboard and valuable gauze hanging on the window. At first glance, it is a store with excellent business. They had been here a few times a long time ago.
Xiao Yu stuffed money into the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately said: "Guest officer, please come to the third floor. The 'month' wing is prepared for you."
After about a cup of tea, Qin Juan heard the sound of people running upstairs. The shopkeeper opened the curtain and brought out two dishes. One was vinegar-stewed pork slices. The meat was red and sprinkled with food. Garnished with chopped green onion, it looks very nice. One plate is rouge goose breast, with crispy and shiny skin. When you open it, you can see the plump and tender goose meat.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The guest will use it first, there are still more."
Xiao Yu said: "Are you hungry? Eat quickly."
Qin Juan was indeed hungry. She picked up the wooden chopsticks, poked at her favorite fat goose, and picked up a piece of meat. Before she could swallow it, she felt a nausea coming over her.
This feeling is really indescribable...
She covered her mouth, quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Xiao Yu frowned and looked at her, "Why?"
Qin Wei shook her head and said: "It's okay..."
I said it was okay, but my heart was tight.
She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the vinegary pork slices, and sure enough, the nauseating feeling was immediately suppressed.
But the heartbeat is getting faster and faster...
