The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

The imperial concubine has already grown up, so it is rare to sleep peacefully at ordinary times... As for "resting well", it is simply nonsense when the emperor has a typhoid fever and cannot manage affairs.

As soon as she heard the eunuch repeat her son's words, she figured out Lao Qi's true thoughts.She decisively ordered the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace: Find some smart people to walk around Chengqian Palace.

Of course, there are a large number of guards on duty in the back~gong~, and most of them are from good backgrounds, but they are not as "clear" as the colleagues on duty in the front court.But this does not prevent them from getting acquainted with the servants and maids, at least there is no problem in getting acquainted with each other.

But it was said that three or four smart and diligent little eunuchs in Chengqian Palace went out for a circle or two and then came back, and they really reported to the imperial concubine that they didn't recognize any of the guards tonight.

The imperial concubine was holding a bowl of refreshment tea and drinking slowly. After hearing what the servant said, her expression didn't change much, but the eunuch who was ordered by Zhao Zhizhen to report the news had already dripped cold sweat from his forehead to his toes.

Before the imperial concubine gently put down the tea bowl, the Chief Chief of Chengqian Palace knelt down on the ground with a puff, "I am ashamed of my trust in your empress, and neglected to do things."

Logically speaking, he had already discovered that there were new guards around Chengqian Palace, and immediately reported it to the imperial concubine.However, in the past two days, the head steward followed the imperial concubine to take care of the Holy Majesty. He was so busy with his calves that he was ahead of his time, and he was a little dizzy because he didn't have a good rest. This negligence...is understandable.

Although it is necessary to punish, but at this moment, how could the noble concubine attack her own people regardless of the severity?

She calmly said: "A good person should be crueler than a wicked person? Could it be that I am still confused?" She snorted again, "The Holy Majesty has only rested for two days, and all the demons and ghosts have shown their heads." She turned her head and looked at her confidant Girl, "Bring the token."

After receiving the imperial concubine's order, the eldest maid who was close to the imperial concubine hurried to the inner room, unlocked the lock with another maid who was in charge of the key, and took out the token.

The imperial concubine's eyes fell on the chief executive who was still kneeling on the ground, "You take the token and ask him, is it me or he who is blind?!"

The noble concubine has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and it really is not because of the favor of the sage: she has transferred, taught, and sent out cronies not only to run errands in her territory of Chengqian Palace, but there are also many maids who are willing to pass on news to her, all over the entire front court The ~harem, and the guards of the harem, the ~command~leader, were single-handedly selected by her. Afterwards, she was appreciated by the sage, and she is now in her current position.

The "he" in these words also refers to the commander of the guards.

I don't know how many times I have dealt with the commander of the guards in the harem before, but the chief executive secretly heaved a sigh of relief and took the order to leave.

The imperial concubine was not in a hurry, she washed up and changed her clothes, and it was already three quarters of an hour before she boarded the chariot again.

The imperial concubine was not in a hurry, and took the former court servant who came to report the letter, as well as her cronies to Qianqing Palace - the cronies that the concubine specially brought out were not only loyal, smart, but also quite skillful.

By the moonlight, and the lanterns raised left and right, when Jing Yunmen was vaguely seen, the chief executive of the imperial concubine's palace trotted over to chase her back, not only that, but behind him was the commander of the guards and twenty a young guard.

At the end of autumn and early winter, the commander of the guards was sweating on his forehead, not just because he was running too fast and furiously. : He risked the charge of leaving his post without authorization, but he also hastened to come forward to plead guilty and strive to take the crime and make meritorious service.

By the way, the commander knows that newcomers are coming, and they plan to shift shifts.In the end, when he saw the chief executive of Chengqian Palace, the two of them chatted a few words, and the weather-beaten commander broke out in a cold sweat.

The commander made a decisive decision, and immediately led his men to catch all the faces guarding outside Chengqian Palace.These few are all newcomers among the guards, and each of the commanders has the impression that they are really not impostors... The relatives of these boys, the commander, can vaguely match the name.

Having said that, even the Holy Majesty can't secretly and freely place newcomers in the imperial guards.

And these rookies... When they let the commander and the people push them against the wall one by one, and even put on the rope, no matter how stupid they are, they know that they have been tricked, and they may cause a lot of trouble!

The commander brought over the boys who had been tied into twists, and interrogated them vigorously: the boys were so frightened that their eyes were glazed over, and they even started to stutter.

According to what these boys said, the person who arranged for them to guard Chengqian Palace still sold them a lot of favors, just don't forget to send a message when seeing the imperial concubine coming in and out.Everyone knows that if you can't often appear in front of the Holy Majesty as a guard, the second best place to "stand up" is Chengqian Palace of the imperial concubine.As for the entry and exit of the ladies in the palace, it is not a secret at all, and it is nothing if it is spread...

The few of them just saw the eunuch from the Qianqing Palace enter the gate of the Chengqian Palace, and they were discussing who to send the message to during the patrol break, when the commander from heaven led someone to take it down!

After hearing this, the commander broke out in sweat again.

This time he was more thoughtful, and sent a short but very nimble confidant to the front court to investigate first, but the result was achieved within a cup of tea, and it did not surprise the commander at all: There is something wrong there.

Needless to say how important the Qianqing Gate is, not only are there countless secret whistles, but there are also guards in armor and knives who are constantly patrolling: it will always be possible in less than a stick of incense. In the time it took to cup a cup of tea, I didn't see a single guard walking around!

Just by swallowing his saliva, the commander made the most important and far-reaching decision in his life.What's interesting is that after discovering many abnormalities and feeling deeply that something was wrong, he only wanted to take refuge in the noble concubine, not the one in the East Palace.

And when the commander caught up with the imperial concubine's chariot, his inner clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he didn't feel much when the cold wind blew: because his whole body was already a little numb.

The reason why the concubine went out "slowly" this time was not only to give Lao Qi a hint, but also to wait for the commander to arrive on purpose - the more people there were, the more confident she would be.After all, in the face of vicious and vicious thieves, reasoning is irrelevant!

After quietly listening to the commander's report, she knew everything in her heart.

But it is said that there is also a guard commander in the front court, and the commander in front of the imperial concubine is also a subordinate of the minister of the guard, but at this time, there is something wrong with the movement of the Qianqing gate, and it seems that it is forbidden to enter... If you want to change the world overnight, the imperial concubine is the most I understand, the Fei family doesn't have this ability!The plan for now is to meet up with his son first, and then contact the [-] imperial guards guarding the palace, who are currently stationed in the north of the palace.

It is said that Zhao Zhizhen sent his servants to greet his mother and concubine, but he did not reply at all after waiting for about half an hour: Now there are wars in the north and south of Daqi, and the battle reports are extremely frequent, and the maids in the palace are also extremely fast in delivering news.

There has been no response for so long, and everything is really silent.He put down the writing brush in his hand, stood up slowly, his clenched fists were still trembling slightly: it was not fear, but excitement!

The king of subjugation in the previous dynasty not only made the people in the prosperous land complain, but even made the people feel miserable. Their old Zhao family took advantage of the situation and rose up. several years.

They actually want to accomplish all their achievements in one battle... It is very courageous, but it is also a daydream.

Zhao Zhizhen's only worry is that he hopes that the government will be vigilant as soon as possible and deal with it appropriately.If he leads people to protect his father, guard the Qianqing Palace, and then join his concubine and mother, and stabilize the brothers who are still in the palace... When he can't attack for a long time, when his heart is restless, it is difficult to guarantee that the "rebellious army" will not take his wife... It's a little intimidating - if you don't ask him to compromise, as long as it can mess up his mind, it's worth it.

After thinking about it, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace and the commander of the hidden guards beside the emperor had already stood in front of him.

Almost at the same time, the Wangfu study was brightly lit.

All Zhao Zhizhen's confidantes in the capital were present, no one dared to sit in the head of the house, and the first seat belonged to the eldest son Zhao Han.At this time, he was sitting upright, his expression was dim and difficult to understand, and there was a screen standing abruptly beside him...

Yuan Chun was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch behind the screen, holding a hand stove in his hand, his face pale.

She struggled to come over, the wound oozes blood again, and the pain made her more awake.

And the outer study where the prince entertains guests and discuss matters is very spacious, but unfortunately, no matter how comfortable this room is, it is not as good as the small yard that the prince has carefully repaired and rebuilt for her many times.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, which was extremely clear in the study that was so quiet that you could almost hear it falling on a needle.

After a while, she spoke again, "I'm a woman with limited knowledge... Our prince stayed in the palace overnight, and suddenly the news couldn't get in... I don't believe such words as coincidences can't be written at this time." Paused After a pause, he said again, "My lord is the only one among the princes who is good at fighting, who can lead troops and even defend the city. Now there is no news from the palace. The hundreds of elite soldiers he brought back from the north... in those people In the eyes, there is no room for strength. No matter who plans to make trouble, before capturing the king, the most important thing is to capture or kill the opponent's general."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Han's expression changed suddenly.

Several staff members in the room, including Mr. Ji, who was in charge of intelligence, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief: The side concubine said well!

In other words, Zhao Zhizhen never hesitated to praise Yuan Chun in the past, and these people also learned from the prince that the side concubine has a unique vision and won the trust of the prince. .

And before the chief executive specially invited the side concubine, several staff members also tactfully and veiledly persuaded the elder son Zhao Han: he should continue to be disturbed by it, but the elder son is young and still young, and at critical moments...he can't be ruthless.

These people have followed the prince on the battlefield for more than ten years, and looking at the prince, it is inevitable that he is a little... soft, but too straightforward, even offensive words, as a subordinate, they really can't say it.

Zhao Han obviously listened to Yuan Chun's words in his heart. He held back for a long time before gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a little longer."

Yuan Chun didn't give Zhao Han a chance to back down at all, "Your Majesty, you have already made up your mind." In the previous life, Zhao Han made the most appropriate choice at a critical moment, so Yuan Chun felt that it was a matter of going along with the flow, and it was up to the point. good.

Sure enough, Zhao Han remained silent for a few more breaths, as if trying to convince everyone to be more selfish, and explained dryly, "The Fei family has never been in charge of soldiers, how many can they buy even if they buy them?"

Almost all the ministers in charge of guarding the palace are loyal ministers and confidantes of the emperor's grandfather for many years.

Yuan Chun said softly, "The Fei family has a prince."

This sentence is worth a thousand words.

When the Holy Majesty is asleep, especially when he may never wake up again, whether it is the imperial guards or the imperial guards, when they meet the prince, or even the crown prince's guard rate, they must hesitate: most people will not be unconscious in the holy majesty. Personnel, and willing to offend the prince when his illness is unknown, maybe... he will be liquidated without waiting for the "autumn queen".

And the final victory or defeat may be the difference between this thought.

Zhao Han's ears were like thunder when he heard the words: He never doubted his father's loyalty and respect for the emperor's grandfather...Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, which new king and the new king who won the throne...would reuse him Brother who is not easy to deal with continues to be in power? !

Not to mention for the sake of the emperor's grandfather, but for his own life, Zhao Han knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he got up and took out the soldier amulet from the hidden compartment on his father's desk, and threw it directly to Mr. Ji, "Soldier! I have something to say .”

As soon as the words fell, several people quickly walked out of the study.

At this time Yuan Chun suddenly greeted Chang Shi, "I have a few letters here, you must arrange for someone to deliver them to my aunt and my brother." After speaking, Baoqin came out from behind the screen.

Zhao Han nodded: he had already thought about his concubine's plan, and in all fairness, his concubine's natal family was more affordable and reliable than the princess's.

Seeing this, Chang Shi happily accepted the two envelopes in Baoqin's hand.

But Yuan Chun didn't know if his uncle was on duty in the palace tonight, but just reminded his aunt to close the door; as for her brother, the things she asked were not simple at all.
