The Favoured Medical Princess: 782 Demotion
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Thinking of the lawless Zhennan Palace, the emperor's face turned pale and his chest heaved violently.
The emperor hurriedly drank a few sips of the soothing tea, and then his mind calmed down a little.
When things developed into this situation, as the emperor, he had to ease the situation in Dayu as soon as possible, so he came up with the idea that Han Lingfu proposed in the morning meeting in July - to let the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace get married. Western night.
At that time, when he first heard about this proposal, the emperor thought the idea was a little ridiculous and didn't take it too seriously... But now that he thought about it, it was a good time. Once the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace kissed Xiye, then he You can immediately recall the Southern Xinjiang Army, disintegrate the alliance between the Southern Xinjiang Army and Han Huaijun, and let this unsatisfactory nephew take a good look at the virtues of the Zhennan Palace!
Who would have thought that Han Huaijun would defect before the marriage was finalized? He was unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous. He was truly unworthy of his Han family members, and all the painstaking efforts she had put into him were in vain!
Thinking about it, the emperor's inner fire, which was finally extinguished by half a cup of soothing tea, started to burn again, and he rubbed his brows.
"Father..." Han Lingfan couldn't tell that something was wrong with the emperor's expression. He frowned slightly and wanted to plead for Han Huaijun, but the emperor didn't want to listen to him anymore.
"Xiaowu, please step back!"
The emperor's voice was faint, showing a hint of tiredness, but there was no doubt about it.
"Yes, Father..." Han Lingfan had no choice but to bow and step back. When he stepped out of the imperial study room, he vaguely heard the emperor's slightly anxious voice coming from behind:
"Come here! Give me an audience with Prince Xuan Gong!"
Han Lingfan paused for a moment outside the royal study, looked up at the setting sun in the sky, and sighed quietly.
As the sun sets in the west, the way of heaven follows.
These eight words appeared in his heart, making Han Lingfan feel even heavier.
After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Han Lingfan did not return to his palace, but hurried to Fengluan Palace.
Concealing the fact that he was reprimanded by the emperor, Han Lingfan told the queen one by one the eight-hundred-mile expedited message sent from Xijiang and the military information stated in it...
Even though the queen has experienced many ups and downs over the years, she was still shocked at this moment. Her graceful face turned pale, and she didn't recover for a while.
How could this happen? !
Han Huaijun was the emperor's nephew, and he had the military exploits to defeat Chang Di, so he was highly regarded by the emperor. With his status, there is no need to fight for anything. As long as he is loyal to the emperor, his future future will be good.
This time Han Huaijun led his troops to Western Xinjiang. Although it was a bit risky, it was also a huge opportunity.
It is conceivable that once peace is negotiated with Xiye, Han Huaijun will definitely get a title and even be able to lead an army alone. He will definitely become Han Lingfan's right-hand man in the future...
I didn’t expect that! I really didn’t expect that Han Huaijun, a man as old as he was, could act so erratically, that he dared to defect to Dayu!
The queen closed her eyes, feeling exhausted and weak all over.
Defection is a serious crime. Even if his surname is Han, he cannot escape unscathed!
This is not a crime that can be "repented of"!
From then on, Dayu no longer had a place for Han Huaijun.
His life is a waste, not only for himself, but also for his wife and his family...
"Ajun...he...how could he be so stupid!" The queen murmured with a pale face, not sure whether it was regret or anger.
Han Lingfan clenched his fists and said slowly: "Mother, I always feel that there must be something hidden in this..."
He knew that Cousin Jun was upright and a true warrior. How could he kill the envoy of Xiye and defect to Dayu for no reason!
The queen quickly calmed down a lot and said in a deep voice: "Fan'er, it doesn't matter whether there is any hidden secret in the matter now..." No matter what the process was, the result was that Han Huaijun had defected. There is no doubt that one of them The cause and effect can no longer be explained...
Hey, her Faner always thinks the best of people. This is an advantage, but for the prince, this is too dangerous!
The queen let out a long sigh, changed her tone, and asked: "Fan'er, you said that your father just summoned your three emperor brothers?"
"Yes, Queen Mother." Han Lingfan nodded in response.
"..." The queen's eyes were dark and she pursed her lips. The emperor summoned Han Lingfu at this time obviously to ask for his opinion. The queen had to pay attention to this special opinion... Unexpectedly, even the scandal of "becoming acquaintance" could not destroy Han Lingfu!
Just as Han Lingfu guessed, the matter of "the two became acquaintances" was indeed spread under the arrangement of the queen.
The queen wanted to use this incident to discredit Han Lingfu, to make him guilty of deceiving the emperor, and to make the emperor feel that he would do anything to confuse the royal bloodline in order to become the heir apparent!
The emperor would definitely not tolerate such a scandal, but he did not expect that Han Lingfu did not know what means he used. He persuaded the emperor again with a few words, regained his trust, and even had the potential to overpower Xiao Wu. ……
Thinking about it, the queen's face became even colder, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves. She would not let Han Lingfu get away with it so easily... This matter is not over yet!
Han Lingfan on the side did not know the queen's thoughts, and only thought that she was worried about Han Huaijun. He frowned and said: "Empress, I am more worried about Cousin Xi now. Cousin Xi is still in the royal capital. Now that cousin Jun has defected, I am afraid that my father may offend Cousin Xi... Empress, we are Why don't you send someone to notify my grandfather and grandmother immediately?"
That’s right! I almost forgot about their Xier! The queen then thought of Jiang Yixi, and after calming down, she raised her voice and said: "Xueqin, I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Following that, the queen quickly wrote a secret letter in handwriting and handed it to Xueqin, instructing her to take it to Mrs. Enguo personally.
"Yes, Queen." Xueqin hurriedly accepted the order and left.
The queen, mother and son were left speechless for a while. Both the queen and the fifth prince had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
In the silence, the air in Fengluan Palace became more and more solemn, with a hint of a storm coming...
More than half an hour later, Duke Enguo hurried into the palace and went to the Imperial Study Room to ask for an audience with the emperor, but was turned away by the emperor. The elderly Duke Enguo knelt outside the Imperial Study Room, refusing to leave.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Guo is still kneeling outside..." Eunuch Liu cautiously entered the imperial study and reported that Mr. En Guo was already over sixty years old. Kneeling for such a long time might be too much for his body.
The emperor was the only one in the imperial study at the moment, and Han Lingfu had already left.
The emperor looked gloomy and did not speak. What he was thinking about was Han Lingfu’s consolation just now:
"Han Huaijun made such a huge mistake, and I can't escape the blame... If I had still stayed in Western Xinjiang, the situation would not have developed to this point..."
"This is Han Huaijun's fault alone. Please don't blame Prince Qi's palace. I believe that Prince Qi's uncle has always been loyal to his father and the court. And the Jiang family married someone who is not her own. I wish, for the sake of my mother and the benefactor’s government..."
Thinking about it, the emperor's lips curved into a mocking arc and he snorted coldly. The mistress is still interested, and she is still thinking about the relationship between relatives, but she doesn’t know that people’s hearts are unpredictable...
The husband and wife were of the same mind and Han Huaijun defected. How could the Jiang family not know about it? She knew about it but refused to report it. It was clearly the benefactor's government that was not strict in educating her daughter, and she was also to blame!
The emperor's eyebrows were tangled together, and he sneered: "Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel!"
This "him" of course refers to Duke Enguo.
Eunuch Liu bowed even lower and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, a young chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Hanlin is here."
The Huang Hanlin the little chamberlain was talking about was Huang Hetai, the number one scholar appointed by the emperor in the Enke Palace Examination last year. Huang Hetai was not the first number one scholar chosen by the emperor, but he was the one who impressed him the most. His undoubted talent and learning completely put an end to last year's scandal of Enke's fraud, preventing the emperor's political achievements from leaving a huge stain. , so the emperor had a good opinion of him and felt that this person was not only a Wenqu star, but also a lucky star.
After the imperial examination last year, Huang Hetai was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Because he was young and promising, and had outstanding academic skills, the emperor often asked him to attend his studies.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that today was the day that Huang Hetai came to read to him once every three days.
He hesitated for a moment, but still gave the word "Xuan".
Soon, the waiter attracted an ordinary-looking young man in his twenties. Although it was the cold winter in December, he was only wearing a thin blue silk robe, and he was walking like a flying boy. Come.
Different from the respectful demeanor of other ministers, this young man exudes a wild and uninhibited arrogance, as if everything in the world is not worth mentioning.
Who hasn’t had the time when they were young and angry? The emperor looked at the young champion, his gloomy expression softened slightly.
"See you, Your Majesty." Huang Hetai bowed to the Emperor and saluted, his posture was respectful but not humble.
The emperor signaled him to excuse himself and gave him a seat.
Huang Hetai lifted his robe and sat down, glancing at the messy folds on the desk without any trace of emotion.
"Your Majesty, today I will continue to talk about the "Biography of Famous Officials" about Zeng Liang of the Cheng Dynasty." Huang Hetai looked at the emperor and said loudly, "Last time, we talked about Cheng Xuanzong's personal expedition and being captured by Bai Di barbarians. The Cheng Dynasty was in danger. When the news reached the capital, Zeng Liang, a civil servant, was ordered to personally lead 200,000 troops to fight against Bai Di's 25-strong army. Afterwards, Bai Di was defeated and the captured Cheng Xuanzong was released. However, the new emperor Cheng Daizong had already After succeeding to the throne, a country naturally has no two masters. The returned Cheng Xuanzong became the Supreme Emperor and was under house arrest in the palace. After that, Zeng Liang assisted the court and rectified the border affairs, allowing the border to be peaceful for more than ten years until Cheng Xuanzong was restored. Zeng Liang was framed by a traitor and died unjustly..."
Huang Hetai's clear voice echoed in the royal study room, and he occasionally made a few comments in the middle, which was very casual, but occasionally had unique insights.
The emperor listened with rapt attention and thought to himself: The purpose of studying history is to draw lessons from history. There is a saying that "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall." , how could he be captured by Bai Di, how could he later become Daizong, and how could he be under house arrest in the palace for nearly ten years!
Fortunately, things were finally rectified! Thinking about it, the emperor sighed half with emotion and half with regret.
"Why is the emperor sighing?" Huang Hetai suddenly asked, "Has the emperor been worried about matters in Western Xinjiang recently?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his brows that had eased slightly wrinkled again, and all his worries came to him at this moment.
Although many people have said that Huang Hanlin is arrogant in front of him, according to him, this young man is quite a celebrity, his words and deeds are consistent, and he is a true character.
Not like some people!
Many things flashed through the emperor's mind in an instant. Huang Hanlin always spoke with truth to his words, and the insights he put forward were often very popular with him, so there was no harm in talking to him.
"Exactly. Huang Aiqing, today I just received the booklet sent from Western Xinjiang by Marquis Weiyuan..."
The emperor spoke slowly and unhurriedly. While he was speaking, the waiter was serving tea to Huang Hetai. The sound of pouring water mixed with the emperor's voice. When it was heard outside the house, it was almost nothing. Can't hear it anymore.
Two young chamberlains bowed quietly and stood guard outside the royal study, while Lord Enguo still knelt there motionless, his old face lowered and silent...
The sun is setting more and more to the west, and its blood-red color exudes an ominous atmosphere.
That day, when the sun was about to set, the emperor's imperial edict was delivered to Prince Qi's Mansion by several angels, angrily rebuking Prince Qi that he was not upright, acted unreasonably, and taught his children poorly, which brought shame to the entire Han family. He was ordered to demote the prince to the rank of county king.
Then, in the imperial edict, the emperor accused Han Huaijun of betraying the emperor and betraying the country, intending to provoke war between the two countries. He was so determined that he was dismissed from all official positions and expelled from the Han family's ancestral hall. His wife, the Jiang family, was not an official. Slave...
As soon as the imperial edict came out, there was an uproar in Prince Qi's Mansion. Princess Qi was so angry that she fainted. She only hoped that this was a nightmare...
The queen in the palace soon got the news, and immediately sent Nanny Li to inform Duke Enguo of the matter, who was still kneeling outside the imperial study. Duke Enguo stood up tremblingly with the help of his long attendant. , staggered away.
The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no point in him kneeling down again!
This incident not only shocked the Prince of Qi's Palace and the Duke of Enguo's Palace, but it didn't take long for the matter to spread like wild weeds. No matter the nobles or the common people, everyone knew about the betrayal of Han Huaijun from the Prince of Qi's Palace. Everyone in the court, The entire king city seemed to have been struck by thunder...
Immediately afterwards, another disturbance occurred in Prince Qi's Mansion.
A piece of news spread from Prince Qi's Mansion like an arrow off the string, and quickly spread to the Duke of Enguo's Mansion and Palace.
I heard that Han Huaijun’s wife, Mrs. Jiang, hanged herself to save her dignity!
This is actually to be expected. Once the female relatives of officials were demoted to official slaves and prostitutes, in order to leave the world innocently and to retain the last bit of dignity, most of them chose to hang themselves...
For a time, the already chaotic situation in the royal capital was shaken again, as if something suddenly fell into the lake, causing the lake surface to ripple, and it could not calm down for a long time...
However, for the distant southern Xinjiang, this disturbance did not have any impact at all.
In Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue was leaning against the window of the inner room, watching the flying pigeon message sent by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly on the small bed beside him. In the inner room, only Mother and son.
The letters Xiao Yi sent were a thick stack. He had been writing every day since he left Luoyue City. He often accumulated a stack of letters and asked the carrier pigeon to bring them to Luoyue City all at once.
As in the past, his letters are not like letters, but more like records of his own daily life. As long as he finds something interesting, he will write a lot of it eloquently.
For example, if he saw something along the way, even if he saw a strange bird, he would write a few strokes. When he got interested, he would draw the bird in two or three strokes, and then praise it by the way. Our own little gray is more majestic and vigorous than other birds.
Nangong Yue looked at the simple but charming flying birds in the corner of the letter paper, with a smile on her lips... After a while, her fingers moved and turned to the next page.
This is...
Nangong Yue was startled. This picture was not a text, but a drawing of a fat doll, with a cat hat on its round head, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that looked so familiar...
This is Xiao Yu.
The smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, revealing a shallow smile, and continued to look down.
Xiao Yi said that he dreamed about her and the brat last night, and asked her if the brat was obedient? Can you walk now? How many words can you say again?
Nangong Yue answered these questions one after another in her heart, her eyes sparkling as if she was having a conversation with Xiao Yi, and her heart was filled with joy.
"Eh..."
As if there was a connection between the two minds, the little guy's gentle moans came from the direction of the crib. Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw that the little guy was rubbing his eyes with his small fleshy fists. He had obviously woken up. .
As long as the little guy wakes up, he must see her. Nangong Yue hurriedly walked over and hugged the little guy before he started crying.
After the little meatball stared at his mother with his dark eyes, he pursed his lips and smiled. He hadn't fully woken up yet, and his naive look made Nangong Yue find it strange, so she simply wrapped him in a baby coat. Cloak, then carried him to the window and sat down, reading his father's letter with her.
The little guy immediately saw the piece of silk paper with a fat doll on the top of the letter, and looked at it curiously.
Nangong Yue pointed to the fat doll above with a smile and said, "This is Brother Yu."
Nangong Yue would point to the objects in the house every day and impatiently teach Xiao Yu how to recognize them. The little guy blinked and seemed to understand, pointing to the fat doll on the paper "Yu Yu" He screamed, as if to say, that's me! that's me!
Nangong Yue smiled and handed the piece of silk paper into his little paws. After the little guy pinched the paper, he finally showed a bright smile and looked at the painting carefully with his big eyes open.
Nangong Yue held the little guy’s round waist with one hand, pinched the letters at the back with the other, and continued to read...
After turning over two more pieces of letter paper, Yuan Lingbai's name began to appear frequently in Xiao Yi's letters, which made Nangong Yue smile knowingly from time to time, and then there was Puli City...
Starting from the invasion of Puli City on November 24, the content of the letter was mainly based on the battle situation.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel that the speed of reading the letter had slowed down, as if she wanted to find out the words that Xiao Yi had concealed.
On November 25th, Xiao Yi asked Wen Xili to bring a letter of war to King Xiye...
After Xiao Yi captured Puli City, he captured Zihan City three days later on November 28th, and then repeated his old tricks and used the defeated generals in Zihan City as a letter of war. Sent to the next Tongzheng City, indicating that he will attack the city in three days...
I heard that in just a few days, the name Xiao Yi was already known to everyone in Xiye.
I heard that the King of Xiye had sent 10,000 reinforcements to the southeastern territory of Xiye. The reinforcements must have arrived soon when she received the letter.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue couldn’t help but exert a little force on her fingers, and then her eyes fell on the last line of words on the letter paper——
"The plan is going well, Ayue, I will be back soon!"
Nangong Yue stared at the line of words for a long time, almost in a daze.
Whatever her Ayi promises her, she will definitely do it!
She just needs to wait patiently at home for her Ayi to come home...
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's expression became extremely soft, like spring breeze turning into rain.
After a while, she came back to her senses and carefully collected the letters one by one. However, when she was collecting the last piece of paper, she encountered an unprecedented obstacle.
The little guy felt that since he was drawn on this piece of paper, it should of course belong to him. He held it tightly and refused to let go.
Of course Xiao Yu, who is under one year old, cannot be as strong as his mother, but the problem is that the silk paper is too fragile. Nangong Yue is afraid that if he uses too much force, the silk paper will break... Also, the little guy will cry.
Seeing the little guy's bright eyes staring at her unblinkingly, Nangong Yue let go of her hand helplessly and funny, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Brother Yu, You should keep your father's letter and wait until your father comes back to give it to him?"
As if knowing that his mother had compromised, Xiao Yu also kissed her on the corner of the mouth, and then laughed again, his eyes narrowed like crescent moons, and his mother was fascinated again. Fascinated.
The inner room was filled with the brisk laughter of mother and son. You and I were saying the same things that chickens and ducks say...Unconsciously, the sunset had already set less than half of the sky in the west.
A crisp sound of curtain lifting suddenly sounded, Baihui walked in quickly, and said urgently: "Prince Concubine, it's bad, the fifth girl is missing!"
The room became silent for a moment.
