5.106 Yuanchun, you are not young anymore
On the morning of the sixth day of December in the 50th year of Longwu, Tanzhe Temple was the original rebel camp.

"There are such elite soldiers in the world!" Qi Jianhui looked at the troops in the East Camp preparing to set off with a shocked expression, especially their unified flintlock guns and infantry cannons. "The general has never thought that firearms can be used alone." into an army, but General Zhou has a good idea, equipping the fire blunderbuss with a dagger, wouldn’t it save the necessary long spears and broadswords?”

"There is still training." Princess Yongchang, who came over early in the morning to inspect the arrangements, glared at him and said, "He talks to me all day about 'being uniform', even though I have been to the military camp several times before and saw him training some footwork. But they didn't take it seriously, it's just that now that there is a war, and seeing them like this, they can know the importance of those trainings.

In comparison, although the Imperial Guards can be regarded as elites and have no rivals even when looking at the [-]-strong army in the capital, if they were to face off against this force, the outcome would be unpredictable; what’s even more rare is that these are just soldiers. The cavalry that had been trained for more than two months was far from being called an army. What would happen if they were allowed to be trained to perfection? "

"I don't dare to say." Qi Jianhui smiled wryly and bowed, then turned to look at the hot weaponized cavalry who had almost finished packing up, "This morning, the end general gave orders to himself and this side at the same time, and even here because of some The distance is still half a stick of incense, but now that they have packed it up, I am afraid that even half of it will be choked by the general."

But at this time, Jiao Zhen and Zhang Hao had already led their men to clean up. It took just over an hour including breakfast. They even packed up the original rebel camp, supplies, etc. and transported them away together when they left. ——The rebels did not keep many prisoners. They were either killed during the war, or they only kept officers above the general banner, and all others were driven away and released.

"The last general has met the princess and general Qi!" While speaking, Jiao Zhen and Zhang Hao, who had packed up and were about to leave, rushed over to salute the two of them, "Our department has been packed up, do you have any other orders?" ?”

"Now that you have packed up, let's escort some of the people out first. I have made arrangements at the city gate, so you don't need to think too much." Princess Yongchang sighed softly, looked at the original camp where Emperor Yonghe was stationed, and said, "Stay here Two hundred cavalrymen will escort the emperor's brother for a journey; the officials and clan who come this time will only be able to make decisions, and the rest will be withdrawn first."

"Auntie really has good eyesight. She actually saw such a talent at a glance." While they were discussing, Prince Yizhong, who was supposed to be "confined", also came over under the "escort" of a small-banner imperial guard. Looking at his original camp, he sighed, "That boy is so loyal that he even calls me 'uncle', but he still refuses to surrender. If such an elite soldier was in my hands, how could he have done what he is doing today."

Qi Jianhui, Jiao Zhen, and Zhang Hao's expressions changed drastically at the same time. Without daring to say another word, they all bowed and turned around to leave the place of right and wrong in front of them. The original guards around them also naturally stepped aside ten steps away and turned their backs. Go away—knowing too much about some things can really kill you!

"You still don't understand. The fundamental reason why my eldest brother was plotted by so many people was that he was too smooth, as if everything should be his. Even my father felt the pressure, and chose to let him reflect after what happened. '." Princess Yongchang sighed softly, "At that time, my father was still in the age of dragon and tiger, but my eldest brother was also 'full of worshipers'. How could this be possible?
Once the eldest brother ascends the throne, the entire court will naturally be under his control. Countless people in the court have received his favor, and the army has a foothold with the Twelve Marquis as the core. Such a prince who is bound to rule the world, let those How do people with ideas accept it?Not only those poor people, but also the four bastards are honest? "

"My nephew has only figured out what my aunt said in the past two years." Prince Yizhong was silent for a long time before saying with a wry smile, "That's why it has become more and more difficult for my nephew in recent years. Many people who were favored by his father in the past have Things are slowly moving away from me, and I almost couldn't hold on anymore, but the emperor's grandfather gave my nephew another chance."

"Father--" Princess Yongchang sighed softly, "You have passed the age of seventy, how can you still have so much fighting spirit? The emperor brother has done a good job. The Great Zhou Dynasty has surrendered all the barbarians and the country is in great power, but it is his own family. There has been a mess, and now there is no need to worry about it in two days, but how long will it take to completely sort it out, and how many beasts will take advantage of this opportunity?"

"Auntie, do you really think that you won't have to worry about 'two days in the world' in the future?" Prince Yizhong said with a teasing smile, "My nephew can get the support of the imperial grandfather, but he has promised a lot of things, the most fundamental of which are the four Uncle followed the rules when he first came to the throne; now Brother Kai is also in trouble, has Auntie figured out how to arrange it?"

"What you see in front of your eyes is just the fastest-reacting force in that kid's hand, not all of his troops." Princess Yongchang gave him a blank look, then turned to look in the direction of the palace and said, "That old man Feng Tang is not stupid. His son Feng Ziying has never lacked rules towards me, do you think it is difficult to solve it?"

"My nephew has always admired my aunt for her hard work for so many years, but what I admire most is my aunt's way of looking at people." King Yizhong looked at the six cavalrymen who were driving away with a wry smile. My brother-in-law’s elite soldiers are here, and those old guys from the capital camp are unlikely to cause trouble. How can there be so many things happening in the capital?"

"Now you know you have a brother-in-law? I didn't see you taking care of me at first." Princess Yongchang snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You have a high vision but a low hand. You only look at the position in the palace and don't look at the people under your hands. What the hell? Go away, stay here honestly, and you will have a few more years of good life." "How many years?" Prince Yizhong did not refute, he sighed softly and turned around to leave.

"Brother-in-law? Huh!" Princess Yongchang watched Yizhong County King's back, but she remembered the experience of being held down by someone when she was with Qin Keqing, her cheeks blushed unconsciously, and she remembered the Yongjing whom she hadn't seen these days. The princess could only sigh softly and take out a piece of information from her arms, "Someone, take this to the East Camp and hand it over to General Zhou personally!"

"Yes, princess!" Two sergeants soon knelt down to pick her up, saluted and then left on horseback.

At the same time, the Forbidden City, Fengzao Palace, and bedrooms in the main hall.

"Yuanchun, you have been with me for ten years, right?" The queen looked at Jia Yuanchun who was kneeling in front of her with a smile, caressing her bun and said, "Time flies so fast. I still remember when you came in. This palace is still in Yongwang Mansion, you were not very old at that time, unexpectedly, time flies in a blink of an eye, you and I are both old."

"Your Majesty is not old. She looks just like me when we first met." Yuan Chun was not all flattering. The Queen was only in her thirties this year, but her face was no different from that of a girl in her early twenties. Her noble temperament alone added to her charm, "It's true that my slave has aged over the years."

"You, don't pour any nonsense into me. Rong'er's hooves are the same age as mine. What does she look like now? She dresses and dresses all day long. In what way is she any worse than that girl Yongjing?" Queen Wen said Wan smiled, helped Yuanchun to sit next to her, hugged her gently and said, "You and I have been master and servant for ten years, and we have been like sisters. I originally thought that one day I would call you sister and never be separated for the rest of my life, but now I have no chance." .”

"Your Majesty, it's spread in the palace now, Your Majesty has really..." Yuan Chun's expression was distressed, obviously still hopeful, "Isn't it that the imperial guards are number one in the world, how can there be such rumors that there is no king and no father?"

"From now on, I can only say 'I love my family'." The bitterness on the queen's face flashed away, and she returned to her smile, "Yuanchun, did you also see what happened the night before yesterday?"

"No, no—" Yuan Chun's face paled in an instant, "The servant just came out to take a look after she woke up and didn't see her. I really didn't think about it."

"Okay, I still can't believe you?" The queen interrupted her with a faint smile, but then hugged Yuan Chun tightly, "I was not prepared to hide this kind of thing from you, anyway, the second girl in your house has also When I entered the Zhou family's courtyard, I heard that your uncle had even issued a marriage certificate. General Zhou and you are not considered outsiders.

However, you also know the temper of the second girl. From now on, both I and Kai'er will inevitably make use of General Zhou and give him a bright future. How can such a talent be stable by a concubine?Yuanchun, you are not young anymore. I want to connect you with General Zhou, but I don’t know if you are willing? "

"This -" Yuan Chun's expression became even more panicked, "Your Majesty, although I have never served Your Majesty, I have served you for many years and have been deeply favored by Your Majesty. How can I do something that betrays my master and harms Your Majesty's reputation?"

"Fool, you think it's easy here, but how did you know that he had already thought about it? I sent people to check, and the three sisters in your house often ran to him." The queen has obviously made a decision, this time it is not The discussion was just to say hello, "Don't worry, I will discuss with Kai'er today and arrange for him to bring someone into the palace to escort him. Don't worry about the rest. Anyway, you will follow me. There is no need to rush." .”

"Slave, I obey the order." Yuan Chun also understood the queen's meaning and silently knelt down to salute and thank her.
