blue bird song

Chapter 66
Although the emperor agreed in this way in his mouth, he made up his mind in his heart: Qi Qingque, you just stay here, don't think about fighting in armor again, and taking my A Yuan into the wild.All the generals and all the supervising troops have rested.

A Yuan smiled happily, "You are the best! You are the best father!" The emperor leaned on the couch, smiling tiredly and gently.Father lied to you, you take it seriously, A Yuan, you are so innocent.

A Yuan accompanied the emperor and chatted casually about homework, the emperor would hum twice from time to time, and at some point, he fell into a deep sleep.A Yuan looked at him worriedly for a while, then covered him with a thin blanket with his own hands.

"Brother, father just promised me that Qingque will be the general and I will be the supervisor!" A Yuan said happily after leaving Qianqing Palace and going to Ciqing Palace to meet the prince.

The prince looked at him amusedly, "Don't say my brother didn't remind you, A Yuan, grandma still likes Jia Shi very much. If you want to marry General Qi, the road ahead is really difficult."

"Brother, I want to be with her." A Yuan looked solemn, "If she leads the army to suppress the bandits, I will be the supervisor of the army. If she leads the army to resist the Tartars, I will be the king of Ningxia and guard the land with her !"

The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, "Ah Yuan, your elder brother is taking care of it for you. It is best to go to the fishing and rice land in the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich and peaceful. If you change to Ningxia, it will be far worse."

"Jiangnan is good, it's also good to plug Jiangnan." A Yuan didn't hesitate.

Ningxia has always been known as "the south of the Yangtze River".

The prince smiled, "As long as both grandma and father nod, brother will be happy for you."

"Brother is so kind!" A childish smile appeared on A Yuan's beautiful face.

After A Yuan left, a young woman in an apricot-yellow palace attire came out from behind the screen, and walked slowly to the side of the prince, with a smile on her face, "Your Highness." The prince turned to look at her, his gaze was very gentle.

In the Ciqing Palace, there is only one woman who can stand side by side with the crown prince like this, and that is the crown princess Zhang.

"Your Highness, the King of Jin seems to be very interested in military matters?" the Crown Princess asked with a smile.

The prince smiled and shook his head, "No, he has no interest in fighting. He just fell in love with a beautiful girl, and he wants to stay with that beauty. Unfortunately, that beauty is warlike by nature. I love to go to the battlefield to chop people with knives."

The crown prince pursed her lips and smiled, "I thought..." She smiled softly, covered her mouth with a veil, and stopped talking in the middle.

You don't think that Ah Yuan wants to get involved in military power, do you?The prince smiled slightly.

"Brothers, feet are like hands." The prince said gently: "The royal family is no different from the folks, they are brothers and friends."

The princess put away her smile and bowed seriously, "Your Highness taught me that I know my mistake." The prince looked at her silently for a while, and then stretched out his hand to her. With eyes full of gratitude, the princess stood up holding his hand.

I don't know whether Cheng Lin, the leader of the rioters, was too strong, or Wu Dinghou was really proud and underestimated the enemy. In short, the Zhejiang war was defeated.

Capital Censor Lu Dong was upright by nature, he reported the battle situation on the front line to the imperial court, and he refused to hide anything - he was the supervisor of the army, and he shared the prosperity and humiliation with Wu Dinghou, and he also had a great relationship with the defeat of the war.If it is a smooth temper, it is not allowed to discuss with Wu Dinghou, report good news but not bad news, and lie about military achievements.But Lu Dong is a man of integrity and doesn't bother to cheat.

While Wu Dinghou was defeated, Zhang Hu on the other front fought steadily and did not advance rashly.Cheng Lin and Ye Songpeng are not brave and foolish people. On the contrary, they run the army very strictly, have strict military discipline, and have never done anything to the people.Defeating them is not something that can be done overnight.

When the prince received the report from Zhejiang, he was very distressed.This Marquis Wu Ding is really old, and he can't even take down a group of mobs. He lost his troops and lost his generals. The court really has no face.

"Marquis Wuding is getting old." The prince told the emperor cautiously, "It's better to replace the generals who are in their prime and put down the rebellion quickly."

Although he was ordered to supervise the country, he still had to report to the emperor when encountering major and important matters, so he did not dare to be self-reliant.The prince has always been cautious.

The emperor sat on the imperial couch with a dull expression, "In the first year of Chenghua, the robbers in Jing and Xiang rebelled. It was Deng Yong who led the army to put down the rebellion and won a big victory. Now, isn't Deng Yong old?"

The prince guessed the meaning of the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Ning Guogong is old, but his glory is still there! Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is not old."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and gave a brief order, "Recall Marquis Wu Ding, order Duke Ningguo to wear the seal of the general army, and put down the bandits in Zhejiang." The prince respectfully agreed, and left immediately when he saw that the emperor had no other orders.

The prince urgently summoned Ning Guogong, with a sincere expression on his face, "Qing's sword is not old, and the situation in Zhejiang is stable, all depends on you." Thought to report!
Ning Guogong was appointed as the new chief military officer, leading [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp, and he was about to go to Zhejiang to suppress the bandits.

"Take me!" Qing Que approached Ning Guogong and asked with a smile.

Deng Qi was always in front of Duke Ning, and when he saw Qing Que, he rushed over, "Niu... no, General Qi, do you want to go to Zhejiang?"

Qing Que smiled and Mimi nodded, "I want to follow the two of you!" Deng Qi rubbed his hands happily, "Okay, okay." Apart from saying yes, he won't say anything else.

Ning Guogong coughed, "Niuniu, if you want to follow me, you have to obey my orders. In the army, I'm the commander-in-chief, not great-grandfather."

Qingque smiled and said nothing.Deng Qi teased her, and said in a low voice: "Niu Niu, although he governs the family chaotically, he governs the army very strictly." Even though his voice was low, Lord Ning Guogong heard him, and stared at him fiercely, making Deng Qi bow his head. Speechless, dare not talk more.

"I listen to the command of the commander-in-chief!" Qing Que's voice was clear and loud.

Ning Guogong nodded, "I'm going to the Ministry of War to ask someone to go." The three of them gonged and drummed face to face, and the matter was considered settled.

"Niu Niu." After finishing the business, Ning Guogong smiled graciously, "I just got a BMW. Although it is not as handsome as your little red horse, it is not bad. Niu Niu, I will order someone to send it to you, okay? ?”

"Big horse or pony?" Qing Que asked with a smile, "If it's a big horse, forget it, I really don't need it. If it's a pony, give it to me. My brother misses Xiaohong all day long. Although Xiaohong can't give it to him, give it to him. Others are fooling around."

"Little horse, little horse!" Ning Guogong said repeatedly: "It's just for Niuniu, it's a pony! Niuniu, you are still a child, how can you give you a big horse?"

"Okay, Lin Xiaotian has a horse to ride." Qing Que thanked Ning Guogong with a smile.

Ning Guogong had a heavy responsibility, so he had only spoken a few words with Qingque, and the Ministry of War sent someone to invite him.Ning Guogong smiled and said, "Niu Niu is General Guangwei? I want someone to go." Before Qing Que came and spoke, Deng Qi nodded proudly, "Yes, General Guangwei, the fourth grade."

How old is Niuniu, General Guangwei!Among other things, she is much better than her father and me.When I was promoted to the fourth rank, I was already in my early twenties.

Ning Guogong looked at the smiling Qingque, and Deng Qi, who had bright eyes, pointed at himself in a showy manner, "I, Doctor Tejin Guanglu, is a first-class doctor." Doctor Tejin Guanglu is the highest rank among the military officers, It couldn't be any higher.

Qing Que smiled and bowed his hands politely, "I have long admired you, I have admired you for a long time!" Deng Qi glanced at Ning Guogong unconvinced, and slandered him, "How old are you, how old is Niuniu? Is there any comparison."

After showing off, Ning Guogong went to the Ministry of War with a smile on his face.

Ning Guogong did not return to the mansion until it was dark, and he ordered someone to call Deng Qi, and told him briefly, "The Ministry of War has agreed." Deng Qi smiled, "I discussed it with Niuniu when she was a child. Bring a team each to defend against the barbarians. It's the same if we can put down the bandits together at this moment."

Ning Guogong's eyes were sore, and he patted Deng Qi's shoulder, "Qi'er, go back early and rest, don't think too much. Niuniu wants to go with us all the way, she is still young, you father, remember to take care of her more." Deng Qi nodded silently.

The Ministry of War reported the list of soldiers who accompanied Ning Guogong on the expedition.The prince was stunned when he saw "General Guangwei Qi Qingque". If A Yuan knew that Qi Qingque was ordered to suppress the bandits, wouldn't he insist on becoming a military supervisor?
The prince raised his pen to cross Qi Qingque off the list.The person who sent the list was Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. Upon seeing it, he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, Duke Ning Guo specially asked for Qi Qingque from the Ministry of War. Duke Ning was very solemn and said that it was necessary for the military."

The prince has always been generous and benevolent, good at accepting advice, and will not act arbitrarily.When Zuo Shilang reminded him, he hesitated.Ning Guogong is a veteran of the court, since he said that it is necessary for the military situation, it is not good to stop Qi Qingque.

Fortunately, the crown prince is not the highest leader, and the emperor is above him.The crown prince presented the list of soldiers to the emperor in a timely manner. The emperor glanced wearily and said softly, "Yes."

The prince carefully reminded, "Duke Ning specially asked for a general Guangwei..." The emperor looked tired, "Give it to him. No matter who you want, Duke Ning will give it to him."

The prince looked at the emperor's face and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Father is getting more and more spiritless." The prince left the Qianqing Palace, recalling the emperor's description, feeling anxious in his heart, "Since the beginning of the year, he has been sluggish. A while ago, he looked refreshed, and thought he was The body is getting better. Now it seems that it is not the case at all."

The crown prince approved the list of soldiers for the expedition, and the Ministry of War can mobilize the army and equip the military supplies intensively, and the army will leave soon.

As expected by the prince, A Yuan approached him with a solemn face and asked him to be the military supervisor.The prince said sternly: "'A son of a thousand gold, you can't sit down', let alone you, a prince, a prince? A Yuan, your status is precious, so you must not give birth to such obsessions."

"Father promised me." A Yuan was serious and unmoved.

The prince had no choice but to drag him to Qianqing Palace, "You tell your father."

The emperor leaned listlessly on the couch, the crown prince told the story tremblingly, the emperor frowned, "Isn't Qi Qingque a frontier army, how could he go out with Duke Ning? Duke Ning should be leading the Beijing camp."

The prince bit the bullet and replied: "Mr. Ning Guo specially asked for Qi Qingque from the Ministry of War." The emperor was shocked, "I have never heard you mention this important matter." What I wanted to say, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"You promised me, you must keep your promise." A Yuan knelt beside the prince, reasoning with the emperor.

The emperor was really anxious and angry at the moment.The original plan was good, Qi Qingque was not allowed to go out at all, and of course there would be no supervisor A Yuan.But at this moment, it was obvious that something went wrong.

How could Ning Guogong want Qi Qingque?Nonsense!The emperor thought that Qing Que had somehow become a subordinate of Ning Guogong, and his heart was depressed.

How could Duke Ning want Qi Qingque... How could Duke Ning want Qi Qingque... The emperor was thinking about this question.Ning Guogong, you ruined my great affairs.

The emperor's head was a little dizzy, but he suddenly figured out something.The thought that had vaguely appeared in his mind gradually became clearer, "Duke Ning's great-granddaughter is Qi Qingque. Qi Qingque is the great-granddaughter of Duke Ning, the little girl A Yuan once liked. "

The same stunning beauty but no love for red clothes, the same passion for dancing with knives and guns, the same desire to protect the country and the people, and make contributions—it turns out that they are the same person.

The emperor looked at A Yuan with pity, the person you liked when you were young has reappeared in front of you, what a coincidence.A Yuan, you have only liked one girl since you were young. It was her when you were young, and you will still be her when you grow up.

"Sure." Although the emperor felt weak, he still sat as solemnly as possible, "Zhejiang Ping Bandits, Ah Yuan will be the supervisor."

The emperor made a decree, and the prince obeyed, "Yes, father." After agreeing, he couldn't help reminding, "I'm afraid the civil servants have something to say."

The emperor was never a tough tyrant in his life, but now he has a cold expression, "If anyone has something to say, let him speak to me."

Prince Weiwei agreed to go, and A Yuan sat beside the emperor with a bright smile on his face, "Father, you are so trustworthy, you can do what you say." The emperor smiled, "When did father ever lie to you?"

The emperor was dizzy, and felt that the strength in his body was flowing out bit by bit.Hearing A Yuan's clear and clear voice, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the season when sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, Ning Guogong led an army of [-] to leave the capital for Zhejiang.The person in charge of supervising the army is King Jin.

"He has already left the palace to start a mansion, but he has been refusing to marry me for so long. He even refuses to stay in the capital, and has been a supervising army for something." Jia Shuning in the harem was so depressed that she brought the maid Xiaochu Relax in the imperial garden.The autumn wind is blowing, and the autumn scenery is brilliant. Walking in the midst of autumn, I feel inexplicably desolate.

Arriving at an arched stone bridge, Jia Shuning stopped, leaned against the railing and looked down at the little fish swimming in the water, "Fish, fish, you are so comfortable and enviable."

Xiao Chu stood aside respectfully.

Jia Shuning looked up, and there were lakes to the east and west of the bridge, and flower gardens to the north and south, and it was quiet at the moment.There is no one rowing a boat, no one appreciating or picking flowers. Here, it is rare that there is no one, and it is rare that it is clean.

"I want to marry King Jin." Jia Shuning spoke suddenly, which startled Xiao Chu, "Since I was young, the only person I want to marry is King Jin, only His Highness Fourth!"

"Prince Jin's demeanor, needless to mention, is truly exquisite and unparalleled in the world. Marrying such a handsome young man will not waste this life, and will not let me down."

Xiao Chu timidly smiled at Jia Shuning, feeling bad in her heart.The person in front of him was obviously different from his usual gentleness and amiability. His eyes were sinister and fierce, which made people afraid.

"The most important thing is his identity." Jia Shuning narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Chu happily, "He is His Majesty's most beloved prince, you know? His Majesty once intended to make him the crown prince, and he almost became the crown prince! "

What happened to her?The more Xiao Chu listened, the more something was wrong, and she really wanted to stop her from continuing, but she didn't have the quick wits to think of a good plan.Xiao Chu still wanted to run away, but her legs seemed very heavy and she couldn't move.

Jia Shuning smiled, "Although he is only a prince now, he will definitely be the Ninth Five-Year King in the future! I asked an expert to test his horoscope, and his fate is extremely precious, and his wealth is boundless. He will one day be a prince." Emperor's."

"And I will be the most honorable queen." Jia Shuning had a dreamy smile on her face, making her whole body radiate charmingly, "Although I come from an ordinary background, I am destined to be a queen."

The autumn wind blows, bringing the intoxicating fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.Xiao Chu's back felt cold, his whole body was numb, and he couldn't move.

Jia Shuning stood at the highest point of the arched bridge, with an arrogant expression looking down on the world, "From the day I entered the palace, I knew that I would be the empress, the woman with the highest status in the entire empire. Crown Prince, although the will to enroll me as Princess Jin is still lingering, but one day I will rise to the top, understand?"

The clearer Jia Shuning spoke and the prouder her expression became, the more frightened Xiao Chu became.Such secret words, such outrageous words, she dared to say them in front of her face, she clearly did not intend to let herself live again!In this palace, the most worthless are the little maids and eunuchs. If one or two little maids die, it will be silent at all, and no one will notice.

"One day, I will live in the Kunning Palace." Jia Shuning stood on the high stone bridge, smiling in the wind, "I am destined to be the master of the Kunning Palace, the mother of the world."

She was not born beautiful, but at this moment her eyes were bright and crystal clear, her cheeks were red, as if she had just put on bright rouge, and she had a domineering beauty.Looking at Jia Shuning like this, Xiao Chu thought of her usual gentle and docile face, and her throat felt dry.

I have been holding back these words in my heart, and I can't spit them out.It's much more fun to say it all at once today!Jia Shuning looked at Xiao Chu with a smile, admiring her bewilderment.This little maid has always been honest, alas, it's a pity.

Jia Shuning slowly put away her smile, looked down at Xiao Chu, and asked coldly: "You don't know how to swim, right?" Xiao Chu mumbled slightly, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, "I didn't hear anything Well, I really didn't hear anything..."

Didn't you hear the contempt in Jia Shuning's eyes that couldn't be concealed?When I am stupid, I will believe your nonsense.If you didn't hear me, I have no one to listen to my bold words, wouldn't it be too lonely?
