The Heavens of Film and Television: From Serving as a Soldier

Chapter 190 West Factory
Zhang Yang looked at Cao Zhengchun in front of him and said, "From now on we can only depend on each other. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is still very suspicious."

Cao Zhengchun lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Zhang Yang continued: "Assemble your people to work hard to find out the secret behind Concubine Xi. I know you don't have to worry about Concubine Xiang's affairs. It seems that my mother-in-law's affairs are not trivial."

Cao Zhengchun said: "Old slave understands."

It was almost dusk, the day market had closed, the night market had not yet started, and the streets were somewhat quiet. The three of them quickly arrived in front of a illustrious mansion. The plaque of "Ning Guohou Mansion" hung high and was very conspicuous.

"Oh, hurry up and report that the eldest and second young masters are back!" At this time, while the servants were busy holding lamps around, a sharp-eyed male servant turned his head and saw them, immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time came to greet them.

The three of them got off their horses one after another and entered the gate of the Hou Mansion. They saw a screen wall. On the wall, the four characters "Pillar Stone of Protecting the Country" were actually written by the emperor.

"Uncle Qin, where are your father and mother?" Xiao Jingrui asked an old servant who came out in a hurry.

"The Marquis is in the study, but Madam is paying homage to the Buddha today and will stay at the Princess Mansion."

"What about my father and mother? Where are my eldest brother and Qimei?"

In this way, Xiao Jingrui had a dual identity, that is, he was the eldest son of the Xie family of Ningguo Hou, and he was also the second young master of the Zhuo family of Tianquan Villa. The Xie Zhuo family, which had never had any contact with each other, became as close as family members. Two years ago, Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Zhuo, married Xie Qi, the eldest daughter of the Xie Mansion. The two families became even more intimate and harmonious as one family.

Listening to their questions and answers, Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really confusing. You are your father and mother, and you are your father's mother. In addition, you and your brothers have different surnames. People who don't know I fainted."

"Xie Bi, you always call me big brother." Xiao Jingrui deliberately kept a straight face, and then the three of them laughed together.

Due to the loneliness in the mountains, the two ladies got in touch. They both felt that they had similar temperaments and often sat together. On this day, the two of them were chatting and playing chess together when they suddenly felt labor pains at the same time. At that time, there was lightning and thunder, wind and rain outside, and the accompanying servants were busy in panic until late at night. Finally, the cry of a baby was heard, and the two boys almost fell off the grass together one after the other.

Fortunately, there was no danger and no one was injured. After choosing a new room and settling in the mother, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they suddenly discovered a big problem.

Zhang Yang was observing mourning in the mourning hall when the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived."

A hollow cypress in the ancient temple courtyard was struck by lightning. A thick branch suddenly broke and hit the roof of the maternity house. In an instant, the tiles were shattered and the beams were crooked. The window lattice was also shaken down. A strong wind swept in, and all the candles in the house were extinguished. , a scream. The guards and maids hurriedly snatched out the two ladies. The midwives, who were so frightened that they fell backwards and fell to the ground, also hurriedly fished out the babies from the barrels in the dark and escaped.

The next day, the problem became even more serious, because one of the baby boys died.

The two baby boys were carried out in the dark. They were naked and carefree. They were all wrinkled and crying with their mouths open. They were about the same weight and had similar facial features. Which one was born to Mrs. Xie and which one was born to Mrs. Zhuo?

Zhang Yang just knelt on the spot and refused to move. His Majesty came to him and said, "Concubine Xi has gone. Please keep your filial piety well and I will make it up to you."

Amidst the laughter, the midwives took the two noble young men to a large wooden bucket prepared outside to bathe the babies.

Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng are both tall and tall, with clear facial features. Both ladies have willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, beautiful and elegant. Although they are not very similar, if you look closely at their facial features, they have almost the same outline features.

"Of course people who don't know will be confused, but Jingrui's life experience can be regarded as a legend. There are probably very few people who don't know."

Twenty-four years ago, the Marquis of Ning State, Xie Yu, left his pregnant wife and the imperial sister, Princess Liyang, went to Xixia. In the same year, Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of the Tianquan Villa of the Jianghu family, also sent his beloved wife, who was pregnant with Liujia, to Jinling. Entrusting a friend to take care of him, he went to Miao territory to meet with the masters of the Demon Cult. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and an epidemic, commonly known as "throat locking" among the people, suddenly broke out. In order to avoid the plague, the dignitaries in the city left one after another and went to the nearby Qingjing Mountain Temple to take refuge. By chance, the two wives of Xie Zhuo By coincidence, we lived in the east and west courtyards of the same temple.

"Master Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo have returned to Fenzuo. Uncle Zhuo and the eldest lady are accompanying them."

The emperor held the baby and looked at it for a long time. Although he had no decision, because he loved it very much, he came up with a compromise: "Since it is impossible to confirm whose son this child is, then his surname is neither Xie nor Zhuo. Just give him the national surname and name him according to his generation, and call him Jing Jingrui. He was born on Mount Rui. One year he lived in the Xie family, and the next year he lived in the Zhuo family. He was the son of two surnames. How about that? "

Even when the child grows up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to determine whose son he is simply based on his appearance.

The emperor made the decision, and since there was no better way, everyone could only agree.

Since Mrs. Xie is the eldest princess of the dynasty, this incident inevitably shocked the present day. The emperor ordered the two families to bring the baby into the palace, and sent the imperial doctor to drip blood to identify the relatives. Unexpectedly, the baby's blood blended with everyone else's, and there was no difference at all. Looking at the appearance of the two parents, the emperor knew that something was difficult. Done.

But joking aside, what Xie Bi said was actually right. Xiao Jingrui’s life experience was so bizarre and involved the Ningguo Marquis Mansion of an aristocratic family and the famous Tianquan Villa. It was indeed known to everyone in the government and the public. dawn.

At this moment, the accident happened.

After Zhang Yang prostrated, he said, "Thank you very much, Father."

His Majesty nodded and continued: "Young nobles sometimes feel lonely, and the prince is also helping me with government affairs. Why don't you move here."

Zhang Yang didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Father, I still like to be in Yongshou Palace. I have Eunuch Cao to take care of me." Your Majesty knew that Zhang Yang had his own ideas, so he turned around and left without saying anything more.

Soon only Cao Zhengchun's adopted son and Zhang Yang were left in the palace.

Cao Zhengchun came behind Zhang Yang and whispered: "It has been found out."

Zhang Yang nodded, now is not a good time to talk.

At night, when he came to the palace, Zhang Yang said, "Tell me what you know."

Cao Zhengchun said: "Concubine Xi asked the father-in-law to recruit people from all walks of life in an attempt to add sand to the Xuanjing Division."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "My mother-in-law has great ambitions but not much talent. How old am I when she wants to let me take over the throne? The prince has Ning Guohou Xie Yu under his command. There is nothing I can do about this." Then he said: "伱 continued. .”

Cao Zhengchun said: "Concubine Xi found out that the Chiyan Rebellion was planned by Ning Guohou Xie Yu and Xuanjing Secretary Xia Jiang, but behind them was the emperor."

"Princess Xie Yushang didn't want to be just a nameless consort, he needed to establish military exploits. Back then, the Red Flame Army and the Chongqing Army fought bloody battles for ten days, so he killed the good ones and took advantage of the merits to successfully occupy the Red Flame Army's military industry. Own."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I know about this."

Cao Zhengchun hesitated to speak, Zhang Yang signaled for him to continue.

"His Majesty has issued a decree that Concubine Xi died suddenly, and it is not appropriate to spread the news. It is just that Concubine Xi went out to Ganlu Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager, and His Highness only needs to observe mourning for twenty-seven days."

"Both Dayu and Beiyan came as envoys to propose marriage to Princess Nihuang."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is getting old after all."

"Tell us about our situation."

Cao Zhengchun continued: "Shen Shizhe has entered the Ministry of Rites as a Yuanwai Lang, Tang Zhang has entered the Ministry of Punishment as the Chief Secretary, and Xun Yin from Zhongshushe has joined His Highness. There are no people from us in the Shangshu Province, nor at the Yushitai."

"But Xichang has already monitored all the officials in Jinling City, including our people in the Xuanjing Department."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Old Cao, keep an eye on these bugs carefully. I want to see if these people are strong. If I want to unify the north and the south, these people can't hold me back."

"Yes, the old slave understands."

Just as Zhang Yang lay down, Cao Zhengchun walked in and said, "Jing Wuming is here."

Zhang Yang was stunned and said, "He doesn't want his life?"

There are forbidden troops inside the palace, the Xuanjing Division outside the palace, and a mysterious Imperial City Division watching from the dark. What does Jing Wuming want to do?
"Bring him in."

Soon Cao Zhengchun came in with a tall eunuch and said, "Jing Wuming, do you want to live or die?"

Jing Wuming knew that he was wrong and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Highness, I have no choice but to come here."

"Speak quickly."

"Someone planted red flowers downstairs in our Yanyu building, and they are full of love." Jing Wuming said, "I sent someone to follow them and found out that they were purchased by Yue Gui and the prince's retainers."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Don't tell anyone about this. Let your people prepare the medicine and hand it over to him. The amount of medicine should be smaller. We have people in the court, and the military should also have it."

After Jing Wuming left, Zhang Yang looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Let Xiao Wenhou prepare. It's time for him to start training after studying for so long."

"Yes."

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Zhang Yang smiled, as bright as summer.

This little Marquis Wen is not an ordinary person. In less than a year, Princess Nihuang, your 100,000-strong army in the southern border will be mine.
