Chapter 38 The Second World Cause

Ever since Hu Yunrong had the second prince, the fight between her and the queen has become more and more fierce.Most of the concubines in the palace also actively or passively stood in line.Concubine Duan, Liang Jing, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang formed a family of their own.It may not be appropriate to say that it is a series.Among the few people, except Liang Jing and An Lingrong, who were friends, they didn't have any contact with each other.The same thing is that several of them are high-ranking concubines, but they don't interfere with the affairs of the harem, and they have long since ceased to be favored.They all closed their doors and lived their lives in silence.

There are newcomers in the harem one after another, but the most favored ones are Hu Yunrong and Yan Guiren.However, there was a person who was beyond Liang Jing's expectations, and that person was Rong Chishao.Originally named Murong Shishao, she was the younger sister of Concubine Hua back then.After Murong's family fell, he was demoted to Ye Ting as a slave, and later moved to Xu Yanyi's side.After Xu Yanyi died, she was favored by the emperor again and became an official woman.

Back then Concubine Hua was flamboyant and bright, even though domineering, she was also charming.Rong Chishao's temperament is somewhat similar to hers.Perhaps it was these similarities that brought back Xuanling's memories, and he was named Yu Rong's lady again not long after.

But Hu Yunrong is probably the most proud.If it is less than three years, she will soon be named Concubine Chang.

In order to suppress Hu Yunrong's arrogance, the queen advised the emperor: "There are already three concubines in the harem. If Sister Chang wants to be promoted to Jin, I am afraid it will not conform to the regulations. Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Yi have never been at fault. Never."

So Xuan Ling proposed to make Liang Jing his wife, so that it would not be considered a violation of the regulations.The queen also said that concubines Duan and Concubine Jing had higher qualifications than Liang Jing.Surpassing the two of them, Liang Jing was enfeoffed alone, fearing that it would affect the harmony of the harem.

After some games, in the end, Liang Jing and the others took advantage.Concubine Duan was the earliest concubine to enter the palace, and this time she was promoted to Concubine De.Concubine Jing was promoted to Mrs. Jingmin, and Liang Jing was promoted to Mrs. Mingyi.After that, the concubine Xingui who had the eldest daughter of the emperor was promoted to concubine Xin, the concubine Shenmei Zhuang who raised the emperor of the moon was promoted to concubine Hui, the concubine of An Lingrong who had raised the concubine Yongle was promoted to concubine Zhaoyi, the concubine Fu was named concubine Fugui, and the rest of the low-ranking concubines There are more or less Jin seals.

This big sealing of the Six Palaces made Concubine Chang's Jin sealing less obvious.

But the Queen's deeds made Concubine Chang's eyes red with anger.When I went to An Lingrong one day, I heard her say: "Have you heard? The matter of the Zhen family was overturned." Liang Jing has never paid attention to outside affairs, so naturally she didn't know, so she asked: "At that time Didn’t the evidence prove conclusive? Who solved the case for them?”

An Lingrong smiled mysteriously: "You can't guess it. It's Concubine Chang."

"Concubine Chang? How could it be her? What relationship does she have with the Zhen family?" Liang Jing asked puzzled.She thought that Zhen Huan hadn't returned to the palace, so maybe that was the end of the Zhen family's affairs.

An Lingrong said: "Concubine Chang's natal family presented evidence to prove that what happened to Zhen's family back then was fabricated by the steward to frame the evidence. The brothel woman who provided the testimony back then has now backtracked. The steward's ending now is just like the original one. The Zhen family. Concubine Qi is one of the queen's generals. This time the harem was sealed off, the queen broke Concubine Chang's dignity, and Concubine Chang will naturally have her arm broken. It's just that she doesn't understand us, the empress."

Liang Jing nodded and said: "Yeah, why would the empress care about Concubine Qi's natal family. Maybe the Empress would like to see something happen to Concubine Qi's natal family, so that Concubine Qi would rely on her even more."

It was indeed as Liang Jing expected, the queen really didn't care.

But soon, a big event happened in the harem.The empress dowager, who had been ill in bed for a long time, passed away.Aunt Sun, who was beside the queen mother, died when she touched a pillar on the day the queen mother sent her to Zigong, and went with the queen mother.

Xuanling was so sad that he did not want to live, and he was extremely filial. He was the queen mother with the posthumous title "Zhaocheng", and the full title was "Zhaocheng Xiaosu and Ruihui Renyusheng Queen". Accompanied by the same burial 'Xianling'.Also known as the minister solemnly attending the funeral, he himself focused on serving as the empress dowager in mourning, and stopped court for a month without visiting the main hall.

The empress dowager was newly mourned, and the emperor was so sad that he didn't want to stay in the harem.There was a lot of calm in the harem for a while.The original draft was also postponed.However, at this time the frontier was on the verge of war.

In the late spring, the mighty Moge Khan took advantage of the revival of the trees and the fertile water and grass. He relied on sufficient food and grass, and led 20 cavalry from the capital, Tibet, to Yanming Pass, which was only [-] miles away from Shangjing.

Luotie Mountain is the most important place in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Yanming Pass is like a barrier of iron cables. Once it is broken through, the old capital Shangjing will be broken like iron teeth, and even the current central capital will be exposed under the iron hooves.

Today's Hehmog Khan is the son of Inge and has always been ambitious.Over the years, we have been fighting hard.Continue to annex some tribes around Hehe to strengthen yourself.And Xuan Lin has been focusing on the southwest war for these years, trying to regain the territory.Later, he spent a lot of energy on the matter of King Runan, so he inevitably relaxed towards Hehe.

As a result, the mighty army went south, and Da Zhou was negligent in guarding against it, which inevitably led to confusion.In addition, soldiers who grew up in affluent places could not tolerate the intense heat of the desert, and many people fainted from heatstroke.Before the war started, they were retreating steadily.

Even Liang Jing, who was deep in the harem, felt the tense atmosphere of impending national ruin and family ruin.

Early in the morning, Liang Shu's wife, Lin Yiru, went to the palace to see Liang Jing, and told her that Liang Shu had asked for orders to go to war.After finishing speaking, he was dazed with red eyes.

Liang Jing suddenly remembered that without Zhen Huan, there would be no King Qinghe and no Zhen Yan.Even if King Qinghe was still alive, it was impossible for him to lead the army after he had died of a sudden illness.And without Zhen Huan, even though the Zhen family cleared up their grievances, Zhen Yan was not recruited back into the court.Today, only the emperor's brother-in-law, son-in-law Chen Shun and General Fuyuan Li Chengnan are the only ones who are defending against the mighty army.

Even someone like Liang Shu has reached the time to ask for orders to go to war, which shows that the country is in danger.Liang Jing always thought that as long as she took care of herself peacefully and didn't participate in the harem dispute, she might be able to wait until the day when she left the palace safely and had a family reunion.For this reason, she even tried to prevent Zhen Huan from returning to the palace, just not wanting to make waves in the calm.

But if the country is broken, how can the family reunion that I expect come true?
Liang Jing tried hard to recall the final outcome of this battle.But time has passed too long.Although I watched the replay of Zhen Huan's Legend many times back then, I often heard people talking about it.But after all, decades have passed.There is even a reincarnation in the middle.

Before Liang Jing could figure out why, Moge Khan proposed to go to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor.However, it is called a visit, but it is actually asking the emperor for the two states of Youyun and rewarding him with a huge amount.However, the front is critical. Although Moge's trip is to test Da Zhou, it also provides a breathing space for Da Zhou's army.

When she heard the news that Moge Khan was going to Beijing, Liang Jing finally vaguely remembered that Moge retreated because of the epidemic, and Zhen Huan reminded the emperor of the method of the epidemic.Now that there is no Zhen Huan in the palace to remind, Liang Jing is not sure if the emperor himself can remember it.Since it is the cause created by oneself, it can only bear the result.

That afternoon, Liang Jing asked Jinchai to drink a cup of jade dew and went to Tiyuan Hall.

It's summer now, and the weather is getting a little hot.Now that the war is stalemate again, it is unavoidable to make people anxious.Before Liang Jing came, Xuan Ling just threw a cup.After the little eunuch Li Changming cleaned up, he stood outside the door tremblingly.Seeing Liang Jing, he hesitated for a moment, but went in to report.

Liang Jing let the golden hairpin stay outside the door, and she drank the jade dew by herself, and entered the hall, "My concubine greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty is auspicious." Xuan Ling was still a little anxious at first, but thinking of the child back then, she didn't want to vent her anger on Liang Jing anymore , so restrained his anger and said, "You're here? Sit down."

Liang Jing put Yulu Drink on the low table beside her, filled another bowl, and handed it to Xuan Ling: "You have a taste. This is made by mixing coconut milk from the palace from the south into coconut milk, and then adding Fresh pomelo pulp is iced. The weather is hot now, and drinking it can still relieve the heat." Xuanling took a bowl and said, "This is the first time you have come to the Tiyuan Palace to look for me. But what's the problem? "

Liang Jing smiled and said: "The concubine has no difficulties, it's just that the concubine's niece and daughter-in-law came to look for the concubine this morning. The concubine knows that the emperor is so difficult now. The concubine is always tired and lazy on other things. If I can't help the emperor, I can only serve a bowl of Yulu drink to relieve the emperor's heat. The emperor is in the world and wants to take care of himself."

After hearing this, Xuan Ling remembered that Liang Shu had invited troops to go out two days ago, and thought that Liang Jing was worried about his nephew, and his face was not very good, but he still said to Liang Jing: "Liang Shu is going here under the command of Prince Chen, you don't have to worry."

The place where Chen Consort is located is the last line of defense in Shangjing. If it is breached there, then it will only be a matter of time before the soldiers come to the center. At that time, the country will be defeated, and there is really nothing to worry about.In the end, it was just that everyone died for the country together.

Although Liang Jing was also worried about Liang Shu, this was not the purpose of her trip.So he shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about him. The Liang family has been a scholar for generations. They have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and they have learned the etiquette of loyalty to the emperor. Although Liang Shu was born as a literati, he had also experienced in the army at the beginning. Just do what he should do. The emperor doesn’t have to worry, you are the emperor, and heaven will bless you. Just like the epidemic in the palace, so many people died, everyone was panicked, but after a little time, The Imperial Hospital has still researched a cure. This is also because the heavens bless the emperor. Now it is only a matter of time, the emperor will always have a strategy to retreat from the enemy."

Worried that Xuan Ling wouldn't listen, Liang Jing deliberately paused when she said the word 'epidemic'.After finishing speaking, Liang Jing looked at Xuan Ling and saw him pointing his fingertips on the table, looking thoughtful.Liang Jing knew that her goal had been achieved, so she resigned.
