Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

That is--

In the silent night, I heard his body, the whole person seemed to be a little tight, and his neck was stretched subconsciously to look in the direction of red light.

what is that?

I felt as if something was happening, and I took a step forward and looked at the front intently. If I was just a little skeptical, the red light was looking at the night for too long, and a phantom appeared in my eyes. With a little bit of past, we can clearly see that the red light is true, and it is enlarged and brightened little by little.

Soon, a large group of crimson colors could be clearly seen, almost lighting up the inky sky.

That's the fire!

I recognized it at a glance.

At this time, Pei Yuanzhen's breathing slowly sank.

This is what he waited for.

I whispered: "Your Majesty ..."

He didn't look back and didn't give me any response, but heard a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, I turned my head, and saw the father-in-law Jade came directly with Zhang Ziyu, seeing me here too, Zhang Ziyu only scratched Once, he immediately came to salute Pei Yuanzhang: "Emperor."

Pei Yuanzhang turned to look at him: "How?"

"It's done!"

"it is good."

After saying the word, he repeated himself: "Very good."

I immediately understood that they did have other arrangements. The previous sneak attack failed, even if it was not intentional, it was within their acceptable range.

Zhang Ziyu tentatively said, "Then, emperor, next--"

Pei Yuanzhang said, "According to the previous arrangement, open the gates and welcome them back to the city with great fanfare."

"Yes."

Zhang Ziyu took the lead and immediately turned around.

When he left, I immediately turned to Pei Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty ..."

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang slowly stood up. The dark haze on his body seemed to dissipate a little bit, and his face also had a mild expression of joy, saying: "Yes, the original plan was I wanted to attack the enemy camp, but Zhang Ziyu was worried that the enemy would be alert to us, so I asked them to deliberately mobilize the army on these two days, and to prepare for the attack on the enemy camp, to let them be on alert tonight When the confrontation between the two sides begins, send a detour to the back of them to burn the grass and break the road. "

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

By this time, they can still so calmly plan, it is really rare.

I asked, "Well, who is the general who is going to burn the forage?"

"It's Yang Bo."

"..."

Is it General Deng?

I was a bit surprised. General Deng had shown cowardly in front of Pei Yuanzhang several times before, and because he targeted the relationship of light cold, I really did not like this person any more, but did not expect that this time such an important action, Pei Yuan Zhen will put him in such an important position.

Fortunately, this person lived up to expectations.

Now, Pei Yuanzhang asked Zhang Ziyu to open the city gates to welcome him back to the city. Not only because he made his first contribution this time, I think it is more important to let the people in the city know that they burned the enemy. This way, people ’s hearts will settle down, and the people in the city will no longer make trouble.

It's a good move.

Pei Yuanzhang said, "Let's go and follow me."

I nodded. "Yes."

He had long been ready for people to go outside. When we went out, Chang Qing was also on the carriage. I got on another carriage and soon reached the gate of the city.

Although the sky is still dark, many people have been heard and talked along the way. When we reached the gate, it was already full of people, although it was not as crowded as before when we asked to open the gate. People are crowded, but people are still moving. I was shocked when I saw it.

The carriage passed the street and continued to turn in. I knew that Pei Yuanzhang was still waiting to go to that place.

As emperor, he could not show up at this time.

The carriage stopped behind the street. After getting out of the car, we could still hear the sound from the city gate in front of us. Several of us walked in from the small door and went up to the second floor. We were still sitting at the window and the table. Someone has prepared refreshments.

It wasn't until this time that Chang Qing had time to talk to me. She looked at my face and said, "Did you sleep well?"

I whispered, "No, no."

"Homiya guessed that you must have got up early in the morning and hadn't had time to eat breakfast, so let them prepare."

"Thank you Queen Mother."

After she had said it, she put a cup of hot tea in front of Pei Yuanzhang and said softly, "The emperor has worked hard for a few days, but he hasn't closed his eyes, and his appetite is not good. Use it a little today.

In the end, there was good news. Pei Yuanzhang's face was also very happy. He nodded gently, took a sip from the tea cup, and then ate something.

On the street downstairs, human voices have begun to boil, because everyone heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a large swath of smoke was rising.

At this time, the soldiers on the tower shouted, "Open the gate."

After this sound, everyone's voice went down. As the two tall city gates slowly opened, the ordinary people were all quiet, and they saw a group of people rushing in from outside the city, even with fireworks. The qi, the dawn dawning slightly, shining on each of their faces, revealed the tiredness and victory of the battle that night.

The one who rushed to the front was General Deng!

Compared with those soldiers with fireworks and some wounds on his back, he was safe and sound, waving his hand with a long sword high and waving, a proud look after victory. I do n’t know exactly what happened, but I was naturally excited to see the generals returning from victory. After all, their safety was still protected by these people, and they immediately started cheering.

Immediately, the city gate fell into jubilation.

This group of people came in from outside the city unhurriedly, and more and more ordinary people gathered along the street, clapping their hands and praising them. When the last rider came in and the gate was closed, I could barely see The figure of the leading General Deng was gone.

However, the cheers of the people were higher than the waves.

Because I have heard faintly, some people in the crowd are saying that not only did the sneak attack on the enemy camp last night, but General Deng also burned the enemy ’s forage and got a great victory. Those ordinary people listened to it, naturally clapping.

Someone in the crowd even said loudly: "Where can the enemy's army take such a victory, Linfen? I see, they get out early, lest they don't know how to die!"

Someone around him immediately echoed, "That's it!"

"Still Zhang is great."

"General Deng is also very brave. If he didn't burn the fodder of the enemy, how could he obtain such a great victory?"

"Yes, yes, General Deng is so brave!"

...

For a while, the praise was endless. I looked back at Pei Yuanzhang. He seemed as if he hadn't heard it, probably because he didn't sleep well last night. At this time, he even narrowed his eyes and began to rest.

I have long heard that some military generals of the court have skill in reporting military achievements. Often, a small defeat report becomes a small victory, and a small victory report becomes a large victory. After all, the emperor is far away. Many things are only really clear to the front-line talents, and the emperor often opens his eyes and closes his eyes in order to appease some of the military commanders who have to use it, which has almost become a practice in officialdom.

But what I didn't expect is that this time, the court also played this mind with the common people.

The person Zhang Ziyu sent out for the attack actually failed, but he said nothing. Because of the success of burning the grass, the people thought that Linfen ’s garrison had a great victory last night. In this way, everyone naturally believed that Linfen could hold it, and It is a matter of time before the enemy forces retreat outside the city.

Sometimes, the victory of a war is not only the number of enemies killed and the land population captured. To a greater extent, the victory of the war is related to the people's confidence in the court. Before that, Pei Yuanzhang's prestige had fallen to At the very least, even when everyone has begun to question the emperor's ability, there is such a great victory, which is indeed the most powerful support for the emperor's prestige and the consolidation of the imperial power!

Sure enough, after seeing the ordinary people cheering and looking at the people around them, a delicate expression appeared on their faces.

Originally, some people seemed to intend to come over early in the morning to urge the defending army to open the gates of the city, and they were still carrying baggage behind them. At this time, they hesitated, and several even returned silently.

This trick is really wonderful.

Chang Qing has been watching the situation below. At this time, she also understood that the greatest crisis was temporarily relieved. She stood up and smiled at Pei Yuan and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Pei Yuanzhang also smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, but he only waved his hand slightly: "This time, you have worked hard."

Chang Qingdao: "The ministers dare not speak hard."

While speaking, the father-in-law Jade stepped forward: "Emperor, General Deng asked to see."

"Xuan."

The father-in-law Jade went down and announced that after a while, he saw the general Deng came up and bowed in front of Pei Yuanzhang: "The end will meet the emperor!"

"Flat body."

"Xie Xie!"

As he slowly got up, Zhang Ziyu took several of his generals up and saluted to Pei Yuanzhang. Several of them could see that the dust on his face hadn't gone, and he was still hurt. Obviously, he led the men out of the city last night to sneak attack on the enemy camp, in fact, he was covering up for General Deng.

However, they are still a little bit ashamed at the moment, and General Deng is proud of the spring breeze.

Pei Yuanzhang looked at him and said, "Yang Bo, this time, you have worked hard."

"It is the duty of the general to kill the enemy, and it is not worth mentioning by the emperor!"

"That being said, but this battle, I really should give you a first credit."

"Thank Your Grace!"

General Deng knelt down again. When he stood up, he seemed to glance at me, and his eyes showed an unspeakable pride. I know that his look was not as simple as that of me. The people here Everyone knows my relationship with Liu Qinghan, and before Liu Qinghan scorned him in public like that, he must have always hated it. Now the emperor is going to remember him for his first achievement, which is to acknowledge his talent. Before shame.

It was just that he was proud to talk, but did not mention his colleagues' achievements at all.

Although he was indeed the first player last night, he still had to rely on Zhang Ziyu's strategy. So many people went to cover him and let him pick up this cheap. But now the generals are still standing with injuries on the side, but he Not to mention a word, just taking care of the reward in front of Pei Yuanzhang, everyone's face is somewhat uncomfortable.

Chang Qing had always been silent at this time, for fear of being charged with a harem administration, but she was already aware of it because of her keenness, especially Zhang Ziyu, who was standing next to him without saying a word, only Listening to General Deng's voice alone, she moved towards Pei Yuanzhang and said softly, "Emperor."

Pei Yuanzhang turned to look at her: "What's the Queen to say?"

Chang Qing still smiled very cautiously, "Chen Ye looked at the generals and was very hard. They wanted to come to last night's fierce battle. Everyone was very tired. Chen Ye specially made a thin wine downstairs. When the generals went down and drank, they went back to rest and wounded. "

Pei Yuanzhang then looked up and looked at them.

Zhang Ziyu still lowered her head and didn't speak, and several generals also bowed their heads. Pei Yuanzhang thought about it and then smiled and said, "I still think the queen thoughtfully."

After speaking, he must be ordered to take them down.

But at this moment, a little **** ran up below, and was saying something in the ear of the father-in-law, and the father-in-law frowned, and couldn't help but "Oh", Pei Yuanzhang just called him and saw When he looked like this, he asked, "Yuquan, what's the matter?"

Jade father raised his head, but first glanced at me.

I was always an outsider at the moment. Except for a lively visit, there was nothing worthy of my participation, but his glance seemed to have a deep meaning, and I heard a stun in my heart.

Pei Yuanzhang immediately felt something, and asked, "What happened?"

The father-in-law hurriedly came over and said, "It is not a big deal to return to the emperor. It is the students of Jixian Hall who are downstairs. Please see Miss Yan."

Zhesheng?

There was another murmur in my heart.

Why did he come to me here suddenly?

These days, they are all busy investigating the truth of those in the city who preached that "the Emperor is out of the Three Rivers", because they have n’t been able to find one, so because of the intensive fighting these days, I have not asked them again, just want Wait for Linfen to clear the siege.

He suddenly came over now, did he find any clues?
