Chapter 421 The army triumphs and the situation changes

"Brother Changfeng is a smart man, you might as well think about some things carefully!"

Chang Feng was already in tears and didn't know what to say.

Not long after leaving Chang Feng, Wang Zhong took Minglan away from the Sheng family and returned to the princess' mansion.

Within a few days, I received a message from Sheng Hong, saying that he was going to help Chang Feng find a marriage. Since he couldn't establish a career, he should let Chang Feng get married first. Maybe after becoming a husband and a father, he could change his attitude. Get rid of the impetuous, dissolute, and indulgent temperament and become calm.

Before the good news about Chang Feng came out, Wang Zhong and Ming Lan received an invitation from the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Qi Heng, the young prince of the duke of Qi, finally graduated from high school during this Encourage. Although his ranking was not high, Qi Heng's background was enough to make Qi Heng more popular than the number one scholar and top scorer in the current class. There are three runners-up in the rankings.

Qi Heng is about to marry a girl from the Shen family who has just been transferred from the local area to Tokyo and works in the Ministry of Household Affairs. To say that this Shen family is neither a founding figure nor a relative of the emperor, but a serious scholar. The family background, long-standing officials, aristocratic family, and the lineage of civil servants are exactly the same as the path that the Duke of Qi is currently taking.

In times of great chaos, military generals are popular, but in times of peace and prosperity, it is obvious that civil servants are more favored by the emperor.

On the seventh day of April, Qi Heng and the wife of the Shen family got married. Wang Zhong took Ming Lan and Wang Qian'er, brought all the gifts, and went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion for a banquet to congratulate them.

Because of the rebellion against the king and forcing the palace, Princess Pingning managed to escape by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, but she was humiliated by Concubine Rong. From that day on, her temperament changed drastically. , grand and pompous, only embroidering and ordering tea at home all day long, never leaving the house, so the Qi family did not intend to make any big fuss, and only invited some relatives in-law to come and have a drink.

In his early years, Qi Heng studied at the Sheng Family School, and he did not have the same entanglement with Minglan as in the original work. Therefore, the Sheng Family also received the invitation. Sheng Hong was busy with official duties, and Haishi went to Haozhou again to look for Changbai. , naturally only Wang Ruofu came forward.

Now Lin Sushuang is imprisoned in Zhuangzi, guarded like a prisoner, and only eats two bowls of lard rice every day. In just over two months, she has begun to gain weight, and she defeated Lin Sushuang in a fight. With the serious worry out of the way, his daughter-in-law Haishi is not at home, Sheng Hong is busy with official duties, and Mrs. Sheng doesn't care about anything. Wang Ruofu has the final say in the entire Sheng family. It can be said that they are very happy and full of righteousness.

Seeing Wang Ruofu, Minglan naturally had to pull Wang Qianer forward to greet him.

"Isn't this Mrs. Shanda and Princess Yong'an?" An older, graceful and dignified lady came over and took the initiative to say hello to Minglan and Wang Qier.

"Mrs. Qin?" Last winter, Empress Shen held a banquet in the palace. Minglan was also invited because of Wang Qian'er. She had seen the young Mrs. Qin at the banquet, so she recognized her.

"Mrs. Qin, Shu'an!" Minglan Fushen said with a salute. Now that Gu Yankai is still here, Xiao Qin's naturally cannot be granted the title of Dowager Madam, but he has also been granted the title of reward.

"The princess is becoming more and more intelligent!" Xiao Qin greeted Wang Qian'er respectfully. Now in terms of status, Wang Qian'er is really more noble than Minglan. After all, she is the princess personally named by the late emperor, and the empress. We have a very good relationship with her, and I heard that she is quite fond of the Queen Mother. It is natural for Xiao Qin to compliment her a little when she sees her.

"Thank you, Madam Qin, for the compliment!" Wang Qian'er is quite shameless. After hearing Xiao Qin's compliment, not only did she not blush and be shy like other ladies, she actually looked smug with joy written all over her face. .

"Ms. Qin, I haven't seen you for a while!" Wang Ruofu, who was next to him, also took the initiative to speak.

"Hey! Mrs. Wang is here too!" Xiao Qin recognized Wang Ruofu. Although Sheng Hong is still only a fifth-ranker, her son-in-law and son are all capable and have a good reputation among civil servants. , Xiao Qin will naturally not offend for no reason.

"My family and my young father-in-law are quite close, so I came here to congratulate you!" Wang Ruofu said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Qin nodded and said, "Speaking of which, my Erlang also studied in your Sheng Family School for a while!"

Wang Ruofu's face froze, a little embarrassed. Among the people studying in the Sheng family, except for Chang Feng, Gu Er had little success in the imperial examination. Wang Ruofu quickly changed the subject and said: "I heard that In recent days, the Marquis and the eldest lady have also been arranging marriage for the second son of your house, I wonder which lady they have fallen in love with?"

Nowadays, the Gu family is in the limelight. Both Gu Hou and his son are valued by the officials and have been entrusted with important tasks. Naturally, Wang Ruofu does not dare to offend.

"Hey! Everyone in Tokyo knows what kind of reputation my Erlang has. Now, because of his marriage, Mr. Marquis and I are having a lot of headaches. We still haven't found a solution yet!" Xiao Qin said with emotion on his face, his tone and expression The whole time was full of helplessness that hates iron for not being able to become steel.

"Ms. Qin, what you said is wrong!" A crisp, but very refreshing voice suddenly appeared next to her.

The speaker was none other than Wang Qier: "Second Uncle Gu was indeed a bit dissolute in the past, but that was because he was young and frivolous and did not know the importance of things. Now he has not only turned back as a prodigal, but he has also made great achievements and been entrusted with important responsibilities by the officials. This shows his character. It is said that a prodigal son never pays for his return. Madam Qin is the mother of Uncle Gu, so how can she always hold on to the mistakes that Uncle Gu made when he was young!"

"You girl!" As soon as Wang Qian'er finished speaking, there was a solemn silence around the few people. Minglan hurriedly grabbed Wang Qian'er and pulled her back, and immediately reprimanded: "Mrs. Qin is so self-effacing! Brother Gu is now highly relied upon by the government and is a general in the court, so he naturally has to keep a low profile, how can you, a girl, talk nonsense!"

After saying that, he hurriedly saluted and apologized to Xiao Qin's body: "Don't blame Mrs. Qin. This girl is young, upright, and doesn't have much power. She speaks straightforwardly without caring about the consequences. You, sir, have a lot of people, so don't be the same as her. !”

"Ms. Shanda's words are serious!" Xiao Qin's face was still full of smiles, and it seemed that she didn't take what Wang Qier said to heart at all.

Minglan hurriedly pulled Wang Qier again: "Why don't you apologize to Mrs. Qin quickly!"

Wang Qian'er reluctantly saluted Xiao Qin's body and said, "Mrs. Qin, I'm sorry, I made a mistake!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and ran to a table nearby to sit down, grabbed a piece of snack and started eating, but his mouth was pursed, with a look of reluctance on his face.

He muttered, "That's right. How can a mother scold her son outside? After all, he is not his biological son!"

The women sitting next to them were all related to the Qi family and the Gu family, and they often interacted with each other on weekdays. After hearing what Wang Qianer muttered to herself, they all shuddered, and couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts. Come up with some ideas that have never been thought of before.

However, Xiao Qin's family has been in business for many years, and her reputation has long been ingrained in everyone's minds. In addition, Gu Er's dandyism is recognized throughout Tokyo. How can a little girl like Wang Qier change it with just a few words.

Wang Ruofu was also frightened by Wang Xi'er, and hurriedly apologized and comforted Xiao Qin with Minglan.

Xiao Qin was naturally unhappy, but she still had a smile on her face. Following what they said, the princess was young and ignorant, so she wouldn't take it to heart.With such an incident happening, Minglan and Wang Qian'er naturally couldn't stay longer at Qi's house, so they hurriedly said goodbye after dinner.

It's just that Wang Qier's reputation will inevitably be affected.

In the evening, in the bedroom, Wang Zhong, who had just finished washing, listened to Minglan's words, walked to the bed and sat down, Zhanyan chuckled and said: "If you are affected, you will be affected. We are not prepared to marry Sister Qian to such a situation. Let them go to the so-called noble family and let them say whatever they want, but we can't stop them."

These so-called official family members have nothing to do on weekdays. When they get together, they basically talk about the shortcomings of the boss and the Li family. They are essentially no different from those women in the countryside who like to gossip.

"I'm afraid that Sister Qian will feel uncomfortable if she hears this in the future!" Minglan said worriedly.

"Don't worry!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "That girl is very sincere. Believe it or not, if someone dares to speak ill of her in front of her next time, she will fight them on the spot!"

"I believe this!" Minglan nodded and said: "This girl didn't realize it before, but since she was made the princess, she has become fearless. Otherwise, she would not dare to say it in front of so many people today. Mrs. Qin’s is not.”

Wang Zhong said: "This girl is fighting for Zhong Huai!"

Minglan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "It is possible."

"You don't know!" Wang Zhong said: "When I was in Quanzhou, I was busy with official duties. Sister Qian and Brother Xin were taught martial arts by Zhong Huai. They also stayed in the military camp with Zhong Huai for a long time. Time, of course, has emotions. We heard about Zhong Huai’s experiences in the Gu family a while ago, so it’s not surprising that he would speak up for Zhong Huai.”

"I'm afraid that I have offended Xiao Qin today." Minglan said. Although Xiao Qin said today that she was careless and childlike, who knows what she was thinking in her heart. If Xiao Qin really meant it, He is just a kind and broad-minded person, but all signs indicate that Xiao Qin is an out-and-out smiling tiger.

"We have good relations with Zhonghuai. We are naturally on the opposite side of the Xiao Qin family. If we offend him, we will be offended!" Wang Zhong comforted Minglan softly and said: "Anyway, she can't be the boss of Gu Hou. Besides, she is out there. She still has to maintain her image of a female Bodhisattva in front of people, but even if she holds a grudge in her heart, it won't have any impact on us for a while."

"Now that the war in the south is going well, sister, soon Zhonghuai and the others will return to the court. At that time, Xiao Qin will not have to focus all his energy on fighting Zhonghuai. How can he have the energy to deal with us outsiders?"

Ming Lan raised her eyes and looked at Wang Zhong and said, "If Brother Gu hears these words of yours, he will definitely drag you to the school grounds."

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Am I still afraid of him, Gu Tingye? Who will be beaten by then?"

"Look what you can do!" Minglan said with a smile on her lips.

It was early summer in April, and incense was burning in the room. Wang Zhong lowered the curtains hanging on both sides, chuckled, and fell down while holding Minglan in his arms.

After all, she was pregnant. Although the first three months had passed, Wang Zhong still didn't dare to act recklessly, and Minglan couldn't let go, for fear of hurting the child in her belly.

As time passed by, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the good news from the south was sent to Bianjing one by one. Emperor Zhao Zongquan finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a little.

As soon as it entered May, an urgent report was received from Eight Hundred Miles. A great victory was achieved in the south. The coalition forces from Dali, Jiaozhi and other countries were defeated one after another. The entire territory of Guangnan was recovered. Gu Tingye led the army with [-] infantry as the vanguard. They invaded the territory of Dali and marched straight in. They attacked ten cities in a row and directed their troops towards the capital of Dali.

The Duan clan of Dali hurriedly sent an envoy to beg for surrender. King Huan accepted Dali's surrender, but the city occupied by the army would never be returned. Moreover, Dali was required to declare himself a vassal to our court and pay tribute every year. As for the other specific details, we have yet to Envoys need to be sent to Tokyo for negotiation.

From the time the army set off to the time of victory, it took only more than four months in total. Add in the two months it took for the army to move south, plus the time for repairs, and the actual fighting time was about the same. Like a month.

When the news reached Bianjing, it also reached the ears of surrounding countries. The Tubo people in Shu and the Xixia people in the northwest also stopped fighting.

When the court received the good news, King Huan had already returned to the court with his army, leaving only General Gan to temporarily guard Guangdong and Guangxi to intimidate the younger generation.

In late June, King Huan led Gu Er, Shen Congxing and other generals back to Tokyo in triumph. Grand Prime Minister Han Zhang led a hundred officials to welcome the king outside Nanxun Gate, slaughtered pigs and sheep, rewarded the three armies, and read out the decree of the reward. .

The Marquis of Weibei, Shen Congxing, was promoted to the general of Huaihua, leading the Long Guard Army to command the envoys, and received numerous other rewards.

Gu Er, on the other hand, was promoted to champion general and was rewarded with countless gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins, and his missions continued as before.

King Huan was promoted to Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, and was temporarily in charge of all affairs in Kaifeng Prefecture.

But the most sensational thing was not the triumphal return of the king's master, and the official awards to the heroes, but a few days later, Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai resigned from the post of commander of the former capital of the palace on the grounds that an old injury had recurred. Emperor Jiayou repeatedly To persuade him to stay, he also sent an imperial doctor to visit Gu Yankai for treatment. However, Gu Yankai was really powerless. Emperor Jiayou could only agree, but immediately issued an order, ordering Gu Tingye to move to the commander of the capital in front of the palace and take charge of the defense inside and outside Bianjing. .

But the most shocking thing was not these, but the news that Gu Tingye was engaged to the only daughter of the British father-in-law and was going to marry the Zhang family's wife a month later.

The Zhang family of the British Duke is the most powerful family among the founding nobles. The contemporary British Duke is a veteran of two dynasties, and has outstanding achievements. He is deeply trusted by the late emperor. He was granted the title of Zhuguo early on. He has taken root in the army for many years and promoted countless generals. .

The Gu family is also one of the founders of the country, and has a profound background, not much worse than that of the British government. Moreover, after King Qin rescued him last year, he has become the top noble of the Song Dynasty. Both father and son are highly relied on by the officials. , were all entrusted with important responsibilities.

Although Marquis Ningyuan has now retired due to illness, Gu Er has made great military exploits at a young age, and now he has taken over the charge of the front office of the palace. He can be said to be an extremely human minister and has almost reached the top of the military generals.

The Gu family is getting married to the Zhang family, and the two top nobles are getting married. People can't help but think about all the aspects involved.

After the officials knew the news, Long Yan was overjoyed and directly issued an edict to grant the marriage. Empress Shen also issued an edict, summoning the British duchess and Mrs. Zhang to the palace, and rewarded them with many silks, satins, and precious jewelry, as if to express their gratitude. The courtiers were announcing something.

The situation in Tokyo City also gradually changed with the engagement of Gu Er and the Zhang family's wife.
