Chapter 3 Autumn Hunting

Yunmeng owns thousands of miles of land and millions of people's lives, so the national strength is not weak.However, the emperor of the dynasty was greedy for pleasure and did not think about state affairs. In the past ten years, there were many crises within the Xiaoqiang Wall, and the embankment of a thousand miles was in jeopardy.

Under the sun, jackals and sycophants are clearly on the court, treacherous people are in power one after another, the official government drinks famous wine like water, eats delicacies like earth, and the golden palace of the nobles has been built. .

In the year of hunger again, the emperor frowned after reading the memorial presented by Shang Shuxing, and called a small court to discuss the cost of autumn hunting.Zuo Chengnan didn't change his expression on the front, and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, all six states and thirty states are in distress, and the people have no food to collect."

The emperor's face darkened.The second prince Yun Huan, who heard the wind, said: "If there is no food to levy, then we can levy wine, meat, whatever you want, we can't ask the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to drink the northwest wind at the autumn hunting ceremony."

The emperor's face darkened even more.Zhongshu Fangtuo glared at Yun Huan, and said seriously: "Money and food should not be forced to requisition for fear of rebellion, and autumn hunting is a grand ceremony of the country, so it must be held. Since it is a dilemma, I am willing to pour out my own treasury to help the country's prestige." Nan Nan Zheng snorted coldly: "There is famine in the world, but Mr. Fang's own treasury is very full."

The emperor reprimanded Yun Huan, glanced at Nan Zheng lightly, the other lord smiled slightly, and nodded.

After coming down to court, Fang Tuo privately saw Yun Huan, and warned: "Your Highness, the important matter is still undecided, so don't speak wild words." Yun Huan laughed: "Father was not the same as this king when he was young." Han Wei: "The rumors of Xiling Road are getting more and more serious now, Your Highness, don't be careless."

Yun Huan called the maid to serve the wine, and muttered: "Xiling Road, Princess Qingyang, Xiao family, Lin family...it's endless, she Yun Bing is no more than a girl." The ground poured on the precious prince's face, and scolded: "Your Highness's achievements are not as good as those of the female class."

Every time this happens, Mr. Fang always feels that he hates iron but can't make steel.

The emperor is old, and factionalism is becoming more and more popular.It stands to reason that the empress Xiao has no direct sons, and Yun Huan, the most powerful among the concubine princes, should have been established as the crown prince long ago, but no one would have thought that the daughter of the Xiao family, Princess Qingyang, Yun Bing, would attract the sky as soon as she came into the world. The bird comes to congratulate, it is a master who wants to embrace the rivers and mountains.

The second prince ate, drank and had fun all day long, the eldest princess waited for an opportunity to read a lot of books, the second prince got into trouble one after another without thinking about it, and the eldest princess studied in all directions to gather people's hearts.Days passed, not to mention the emperor's delay in making a decision, even Mr. Fang became suspicious. After all, Yunmeng's millennium rule has not never seen a female emperor. This Yunbing is really his nemesis.

In the early years, Yun Bing refused to marry, and the emperor expelled him to Xiling Road in a rage. Mrs. Fang was relieved, but within two years, the shadow drifted thousands of miles from Xiling Road to the imperial city of Lin'an.Power changes, undercurrents are surging, and when the storm is about to come, Mr. Fang doesn't care about so many things. He can only keep Yun Huan in power, and has no way out.

That's why, attracting the Qi family is a trick, and excluding Nan is a trick, and Mr. Fang's next trick is the autumn hunting ceremony.

On that day, flags and flags lit up the sky above the hunting ground, and thousands of armored troops surrounded the Caishuang Forest.Dongying houses civil and military courtiers, Xiying sits the emperor's relatives, and in the distance there is another large tent and high platform dedicated to the emperor.

According to the rules, the Ministry of Rites selected [-] men to participate in the hunt. They were descendants of the royal family, descendants of powerful ministers, and all of them were rich and noble sons.

After the sacrificial dance, the drums were played three times, and the princes galloped on the horses and chased the herd of deer. The first to bear the brunt was the second prince Yun Huan, who was wearing a golden armor.Yun Huan shot an arrow with his bow and hit a stag. Everyone cheered and cheered.

Seeing that everything was in order, Mr. Fang straightened his robe, and slowly climbed onto the high platform to watch the hunting with the emperor.Master Fang said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Cheng cut off the head with an arrow today, which is extremely heroic." The emperor looked pleased and thoughtful, but he didn't know that the so-called "seal the throat with an arrow" had actually been arranged.

In the west camp, Qi Lin, who hadn't made it to the stage yet, was itchy all over his body. He crossed his legs and asked the bystanders, "If you really only shot one arrow, why would there be seven arrow holes on the deer?" Good eyesight, I admire you."

Qi Lin laughed, got up to lead the horse, and met Xiao Yu, Minister of War of Shangshu Province.Xiao Yu is the younger brother of the empress of the dynasty, the Xiao family, and everyone knows that his ambitions are high.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It's not a fake scene, let's set up another hunting ground another day, how about inviting General Qi to have fun?" Qi Lin replied heartily: "No need." Lord Xiao gritted his teeth secretly, and left disappointed.

At this time, the tide of exclamation sounded again. It turned out that a divine deer suddenly jumped out of the colorful frost forest.

All the princes were panicked and did not dare to move, but Yun Huan held his breath and focused, aiming with his bow.The emperor on the high platform widened his eyes, and Si Ming said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng really has the blood of the dragon, and he actually attracted the appearance of the King Deer."

The emperor was doubtful, and asked: "What is this sign?" Siming replied: "It is a rare auspicious omen in ten thousand years. The fortune of the ruler is prosperous, and the emperor's order is eternal." Kick off and fall to the ground, unable to move.The old emperor slapped the table and called out "Cai", immediately tens of thousands of people congratulated, and it was very lively.

Lord Fang flicked his sleeves, and the old man knelt down with a thud, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang belongs to the destiny, with the blood of the real dragon, I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty!"

After the autumn hunting, the emperor went to Zhanxingtai to watch the stars all night, and the accompanying prince Yun'an of Xiyong didn't say a word.The next day, the emperor summoned civil and military officials and royal family members, and established Wang Yunhuan as the crown prince of the East Palace.

After returning from the hunting ground, Qingyan bit Ningyan Ningxue's ear and talked for three days and three nights: the big shots at the hunting banquet talked and laughed happily, and the young master in the court was peerless...

Ning Yan said: "My son is rich and honored, and sooner or later he will be out of the secular world." Qingyan doesn't care if he can't get out of the secular world, and only thinks about Mr. Peng's words.At that time, Qi Lin was chatting with the generals in the upper seat, and had no time to care about Qing Yan.Peng Hao said to Qing Yan: "Master Shi Mo from the Ministry of Rites has always been infatuated with ancient silver pianos. He heard that the young master's music style is elegant and extraordinary, so we meet for a narration, accompanied by Peng, how about it?"

Then I went, when I saw Mr. Shi, he had a charming face and ambiguous words, which made everyone present feel itchy. It turned out that he was still thinking about Bi Shu in his heart.

While drinking tea, talking about Yuetianying's current southern inspection order, Qingyan thought that Qi Lin had mentioned this before, and seeing that none of the adults could understand it, she said bravely: "General Qi led his troops to the southern inspection to observe Border security." Shi Mo asked: "Your Majesty, do you know the exact time and place?"

Qingyan learned from Ye Guansi and flipped the lid of the tea, said with a smile, "Yangyue, Nanchi Road."

Afterwards, Peng Hao personally brought a Cenhai Night Pearl, and said to Qingyan: "Of course this pearl is not comparable to the Guihun hairpin, but it is also rare.

Peng Mou expressed his heart, and hoped that the young master would accept it with a smile. "Qingyan didn't dare to accept it in panic, and asked what he meant. Peng Hao said: "When General Qi leaves, I have to trouble you to inform the itinerary. "

Qingyan suddenly realized that she had slipped her words before, and was too frightened to respond.Peng Hao smiled and said: "The border is chaotic, we are afraid that General Qi will not accept the situation, so we want to prepare first to meet the inspection. Other than that, I have no other intentions, my lord, don't worry." Qingyan took Ye Mingzhu and let Ningyan go to Yuhua overnight The pavilion looks for Ye Fei.Ye Fei simply replied with four words: "Mingyue Water Terrace."

Qingyan's heart is like a mirror—this is to repay Peng Haoming's kindness for introducing him to Yueshuitai.

Qingyan pestered Qi Lin to ask questions, dug up all the arrangements for the southern tour, and reported everything to Peng Hao.On the night before departure, Qi Lin hugged the man and said softly: "Since Yan'er is so curious about the military defense in the southern border, why not go with me?" Qingyan stretched out her hand to untie Qi Lin's clothes, without blushing, she said with a smile: "Yan'er, if you Go, the general will not be able to get out of bed."

Nanchi Road ranks first among the six roads, with a vast territory and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, it is the granary coveted by the world.For this granary, the Nine Realms of neighboring countries have repeatedly invaded, making Yunmeng's southern border uneasy.

General Qi has nothing to do with factional struggles and civil strife, but protecting the family and the country is his job.A while ago, the prefect of Jinxi City in the south died suddenly on the way to Lin'an. Although he hadn't arrived, the blood book he was carrying alarmed Yu Jia.

Xiao Yu, Minister of the Emperor's Recruiting Department, and Qi Lin, the head of the Yuetian Battalion, stood in front of the hall, shouted to the left and right, "It is rumored that the Nanchi Road defenders secretly stole military funds, neglected military affairs, and had an affair with the Nine Realms of the enemy country, plotting wrongdoing."

The Ministry of War led the six military systems, Xiao Yu took responsibility, and vowed to thoroughly investigate the case, so he negotiated with Qi Lin on the southern tour.However, the news spread like wildfire, and when Qi Lin led his troops to patrol Nanchi Road in Yangyueli, it was a scene of strict military discipline.

The etiquette of the state officials and the reception of the military government are thoughtful and beyond reproach.Now that everything is going well, Qi Lin is about to return to the imperial court to return to his command. Before leaving, he received a secret invitation from An Nanjun Jin Yu.

As soon as they met, the old friend drew his sword and pointed at Qi Lin, saying sharply, "General Qi, the brotherhood between you and me is over today." Qi Lin smiled bitterly: "Brother Jin lost his temper after three years' absence." Jin Yu asked: "You really don't know?" Qi Lin had no choice but to spread his hands: "It's not my specialty to catch wind and shadow."

So, Jin Yu told the story all night: He said that the Tian of Nanchi Road had already been surnamed Fang.A certain Fang wooed local officials, embezzled the military funds of the imperial court, imposed exorbitant taxes, and had an affair with the royal families of the Nine Realms. His crimes were serious. The prefect of Jinxi City failed to report him, but was assassinated to death.

After listening to the story, Qi Lin didn't seem to believe it, and joked: "I only heard that Xiling Dao belongs to Xiao's family, but I never thought that Nanchi Dao belongs to Fang's family. In the end, where is Yunmeng our house?" Jin Yu lamented. Said: "I have been in the gentle country for a long time, but I don't know the suffering of the place. General Qi is still like this, Yunmeng is in danger."

Qi Lin listened to it in his heart, and when he returned to the posthouse, he called his servant and asked, "Mr. Qingyan, have you seen outsiders recently?" The servant's eyes were rusty and he was ignorant, so Qi Lin had no choice but to give up.

As soon as he entered the room, there was a lazy and handsome man sitting beside the warm candle. The man got up and brought honey soup, but was smashed to the ground by Qi Lin's palm.Qi Lin asked: "Cen Hai's night pearl, does Yan'er still like it?"

In the cold weather of the sun and moon, Qing Yan knelt outside the house for a whole night, only yelling that she was wronged and not pleading guilty, while Qi Lin also stayed up all night, and did not open the door until dawn.Qingyan Hong's eyes trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "You don't believe in Yan'er?" Qi Lin sighed and helped him up: "Qi fell in love as soon as he fell in love, he doesn't know Yin and Yang, he doesn't know truth from falsehood."

When Qi Lin returned to the court, he made a memorial to complete the southern tour.Xiao Yu still insisted on investigating in front of the imperial court, but Fang Tuo firmly blocked him.Mr. Fang asked: "The grand ceremony for establishing the crown prince is imminent, but Mr. Xiao is obsessed with nonsense. Could it be that he has other plans?"

The emperor sighed and was noncommittal, so the case was left alone.Three days later, the Xiao family received an anonymous letter, writing: Harmony makes money.Xiao Yu burned the paper and laughed it off.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince was held as scheduled, and Yun Huan entered the East Palace with majesty.But Mr. Fang still had a wish unfulfilled after all. He opened the book, sketched one by one among the three provinces and six ministries, and his eyes fell on the "Yuetian Camp".

The author has something to say:

This chapter begins to cut into the general framework of this article, mainly involving two countries, Yunmeng is in the north, and Nine Realms is in the south.

At this time, Yunmeng was weaker than the Nine Realms and was often beaten.

Qingyan is a very vain child now.
