Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

Before Rong Cheng's carriage returned to the mansion, the heavy rain suddenly slammed down. The heavy rain poured down like a torrent. The sky was so dark that the day was like night. It really was a lot of rain.Pedestrians on the long street were running around in a mess, fearing that the carriage would overturn the hurried passers-by, they stopped and waved their whips, slowing down their speed.

Rong Cheng sat in the carriage and as the carriage bumped and swayed, rain was blown in by the wind from time to time, and the corner of her robe was wet after a short while. The sound of heavy rain covered up the panic on the long street, and the startling rain seemed to She couldn't hear a word of what she was saying, she just sat quietly with her eyes downcast.

It was inconvenient to drive, and I returned to the mansion a little later than usual today, the rain was like a curtain, and only the outline of the carriage could be seen faintly, Xia Feng was already waiting outside the door with an oil umbrella.The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, Xia Feng held up an umbrella to cover the torrential rain, and Dong Ge lifted the curtain to help Rong Cheng down, the three of them surrounded her and walked into the changed lintel of Changning Palace, the current Rong Mansion.

Back in the study, Rong Cheng briefly wrote down the current situation of the court, and then summoned Jing Yu, and ordered, "You hand over this letter to Princess Qingping personally."

Jing Yu put away the letter properly and took the order to leave. Rong Cheng's expression has been calm these few days and she rarely has the usual gentle smile. ?”

Rong Cheng's thoughts came back, and a slight smile stretched between his brows, "I'm worried about Huang Jie." Seeing Bai Qingtong's usual indifference, knowing that she didn't know, he continued, "I'm worried that Huang Jie will be worried that Ah Che will insist on Leave Nanyang City."

Bai Qingtong was puzzled, "It's reasonable for Your Highness to worry about the princess, why can't you leave?"

Rong Cheng shook his head helplessly, and said, "If she leaves Nanyang City, I'm afraid that someone will make trouble again." Bai Qingtong's face was cold, neither was he confused or seeking to understand, Rong Cheng smiled brightly, and said, "I won't tell you these things If you like to hear, is there any place Qingtong wants to go? We will go together after the court situation is stable."

Bai Qingtong was slightly startled and said, "Okay."

The room became quiet again, only the sound of the rain was still wanton, Rong Cheng looked out of the closed window and fell into silence again, Bai Qingtong said, "Are you worried about Princess Qingping?"

"I don't know what happened to Ah Che at this time?" Rong Cheng's eyes were worried, "After all, the two armies have no eyes when fighting swords. As the main general, it is inevitable that Ah Che will go into battle to kill the enemy, and he will always be afraid that she will be hurt."

Bai Qingtong looked at her quietly with a pair of autumn eyes, she walked over and sat down beside her, she didn't understand these complicated power struggles, but she understood that Rong Cheng was full of worry at this moment, she knew she couldn't express any relief Words can't help her get rid of her worries, only to accompany her quietly.For Yu Rongcheng, that's good.

To the south of the Dongjiang River, Rong Che led a [-]-strong army assembled by three battalions to pursue the rebels. After quickly recovering Henan and Yunzhou, he ordered the garrison troops of the two states to stay where they were.After passing Yunzhou and moving forward, she completely left the dividing line of Dongjiang, and she ordered the [-] troops transferred from Jiangbei camp to return to Jiangbei and return to the camp.

The generals were puzzled at the fact that the soldiers and horses were scattered at this moment, but there was something wrong with the empty camps in various places. Although it was not long to march with Rong Che, they knew that her military orders were like a mountain. .So far, she only has 3 imperial troops and [-] horses transferred from the Gaoshan camp, so the pursuit can only be slowed down after capturing two states.

On Rong Che's case in the main account, there was an order from the imperial court and a letter from Rong Cheng. Wei Changdong asked underneath, "What is the reason for calling you back now? What can Princess Anle say?"

"Cousin is just telling a little about what happened in the hall."

Wei Changdong was puzzled, "What does Princess Anle mean?"

Rong Che naturally knew that Rong Cheng didn't need to say much, just explain the situation clearly, and everything was up to her to decide, but she didn't talk to Wei Changdong about the tacit understanding between these sisters, she just said, "It's not far from the Gaoshan Camp. Mountain comes in."

Yang Shan clasped his fists and asked, "General, do you want to re-arrange the current battle?"

Rong Che said, "Now that the rebel army is fleeing and routed, there is no threat, and this place is not far from the Gaoshan Camp. You are the deputy general of the Gaoshan Battalion, so you should go back with the soldiers and horses of the Gaoshan Battalion."

Yang Shan said anxiously, "You can't do it, general. If the Gaoshan battalion leaves here, there are only 2 troops left, and the general fears that the rebels will get the news and come back."

Wei Changdong also said, "The general will be in vain if he does this. This battle has been fought for a few months and so many soldiers died." He paused, hesitated for a moment before saying the next thing, "How can you be so confused? , do you want to disregard tens of thousands of soldiers for the sake of the dogs and dogs in Nanyang City?"

Wei Changdong had never spoken so harshly to Rong Che before. She was slightly taken aback, and said, "I have secretly cultivated a hidden arrow in southern Xinjiang for so many years, and I am currently waiting for the rebels to flee south in southern Xinjiang. This is one of them." She paused, and said calmly, "Now in Nanyang City, there have been accusations of impeaching me for killing Li Wuda and for mobilizing the Gaoshan camp for several days. This is the second."

"Those people in Nanyang City are the best at using words to punish people. Have they ever seen the current crisis situation with their own eyes? If it weren't for your unauthorized deployment of troops, how could there be several successful reports to the court?"

"Changdong." Rong Che held the edict sent by the imperial court in his hand, Fang said, "Now Nanyang City is the East Palace Supervisor, and the three provinces are using me to force His Highness to submit."

"They're presumptuous."

"The East Palace is still just the East Palace now. They dare to act presumptuously before they ascend the throne. After all, these people know that His Majesty is still in this palace." She continued, "As long as His Majesty is still in the East Palace for a day, they will be restrained, Throwing rats."

Wei Changdong raised his eyes and looked at Rong Che. Although they grew up in the frontier, the monarchs and ministers in the court had already been accustomed to it. He knew that Rong Che's words were true.If Donggong hadn't put His Majesty under house arrest to seize power, how could they fight the enemy happily here, and Donggong intended to protect the two of them, how could they ignore Donggong.

Although Yang Shan was born in the army, he is a smart man, so he naturally heard the implication, so he said, "The general has a countermeasure, I wonder if the general should listen to it?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Yang Shan's dark face was very serious, and he said, "I roughly calculated that the damage to the rebel army is currently less than 1. Although there is a difference in strength between us and the rebel army, we have the upper hand in terms of momentum. Just now the general said There are still more than [-] troops in southern Xinjiang, and it is indeed inappropriate for the Gaoshan camp to leave the camp without authorization. Why don't we fight a few virtual battles with the rebels first, and then send one person back to the palace quickly, please mobilize the soldiers of the battalions on the south bank. The situation in the palace can be solved and we can kill the enemy with peace of mind."

Wei Changdong continued, "It's a good plan, but according to the current attitude of the three provinces, they can just sit back and watch the soldiers go out of the city."

Rong Che also felt this way, she asked, "Since General Yang proposed this plan, he must have the best candidate."

Yang Shan patted his chest and said, "It's the last general. The last general was born in the Gaoshan camp and I will go to Nanyang City. First, I can defend the general about General Li's affairs, and second, I can also fully understand the situation in the south. Tell Your Highness to know, I don't believe that there are so many pairs of eyes in the hall, and I don't believe that Sansheng has any reason to object, so please allow Your Highness."

"Yang Shan." Rong Che picked up a pen and wrote a handwritten letter, "Go to Nanyang City and bring this letter to Princess Anle first, and she will make arrangements for you."

Yang Shan took Rong Che's handwritten letter, and Wei Changdong said again, "General Yang, Nanyang City is no better than the barracks. When you go to the court hall, don't recklessly contradict those old ministers. If they hold grudges, it will not benefit your promotion in the future."

Yang Shan smiled, honestly and honestly, "I haven't fought a serious battle in the Gaoshan camp for so many years, and this time I have the opportunity to follow General Wei and General Wei. Selfishly, I don't want to be promoted or not, I just want to be able to follow the general in the future."

Hearing this, Rong Che's expression was still indifferent as usual, and she said, "General Yang, take care all the way."

"Take care, General." He turned to Wei Changdong again and said, "General Wei, take care." After speaking, he strode out of the main tent.He raised and lowered the curtain to cast a large amount of sunlight into it. Rong Che stepped down from his seat and followed him out of the main tent. The area of ​​one mile outside the tent was within the encampment range, and the patrols and drills of the soldiers were still in an orderly manner. As the filming progressed, the chilling place was actually very peaceful under the sunshine of golden autumn.Rong Che stopped and watched for a long time, then stood calmly and let the wind blow by.

After Yang Shan left, the imperial army and the rebels had only fought a few times, and most of them were rebels spying on the military situation and intending to counterattack, but Rong Che and Wei Changdong personally led troops into battle, one against a hundred, the rebels were invincible.King Jingyuan has his own plans, and dividing the river into a unified regime is hopeless, so he naturally wants to save the main force of his own troops before making plans.

Yang Shan came to Rong Mansion with Rong Che's handwriting, Jing Yu took him into Rong Cheng's study, Yang Shan prostrated himself on the ground and said, "The final general will see Princess Anle." He presented the handwriting with both hands.

Jing Yu put the handwriting in front of Rong Cheng, and Rong Cheng glanced over the handwriting with downcast eyes before saying, "General Yang, please get up." Seeing Yang Shan stood up and stood with his head bowed, she asked again, "Qingping wants my help. Naturally, I will help, General Yang, as the deputy general of the Gaoshan Battalion, since he returned to Nanyang City, he should report to the Ministry of War."

Yang Shan was puzzled, and said, "But."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Rong Cheng say again, "Your Highness will ask about politics in the future. You will definitely ask for a military amulet under the noses of the officials. If you don't go to the Ministry of War for this trip, you will end up talking about going to Beijing privately." Right or wrong, the more important thing is that you are working for Qingping, if His Highness protects Qingping in court, it will only make it more difficult for Qingping to do things in the court in the future, do you understand me when I say this?"

"The general understands, the general will go to the Ministry of War."

"Wait a minute, General Yang." Rong Cheng also picked up a handwritten letter and handed it to Jing Yu, "General, take this handwritten letter with you. Go to the Ministry of War and hand in the handwritten letter, and someone will make proper arrangements for you."

Yang Shan saluted again respectfully, "The last general thanked the princess."

"General Yang is polite. Jing Yu, you send General Yang to the Ministry of War personally."

"Yes."

Jing Yu and Yang Shan left the Rong Mansion together and went to the Ministry of War. Rong Cheng put away Rong Che's note and ordered someone to prepare a carriage and enter the palace. When Rong Che's handwriting was unfolded in front of her eyes, the eagerness in her eyes was clearly revealed.

"Isn't Che'er crazy? She even wanted to transfer the 10 soldiers from the Gaoshan camp. What would she use to fight the [-] rebels? It's just nonsense."

"Sister Huang, don't worry. Judging from Yang Shan's words and deeds today, Ah Che should have full confidence in the challenge."

"Really?" Seeing Rong Cheng concentrating on affirming that she was relieved for the time being, "No, I must go to see her, you must not stop me."

Rong Cheng's brows furrowed, he knew that Rong Ling would do this, but he only sighed, which was almost imperceptible, "Sister Huang thought that if you leave, Nanyang City will be in chaos."

Rong Ling looked at her, and for the first time there was a hint of sincerity in those bright eyes, she said, "Ah Cheng, I can't worry about Che'er, I think about her every day, so let me go see her just once. Her." She paused, and said softly with her eyes slightly closed, "You and I both know that, after all, Che'er may not come back for a long time, I just want to say a few words of good-bye. If you go there, you won't have another chance." She opened her eyes suddenly, looked at Rong Cheng, "Ah Cheng, how about me this time?"

There was pleading, weakness and helplessness in those eyes, Rong Cheng finally softened his heart, "Sister Huang, I must go and come back quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to last too long."

Rong Ling finally stretched her brows and smiled, "I believe you can hold this Nanyang City."

"Miss Huang really thinks highly of me."

Rong Ling raised her brows lightly and returned to normal, said, "Why have you ever underestimated yourself so arrogantly." She added, "When Yang Shan came back to ask for soldiers, he was most afraid that the three provinces would hinder him, and he would have another verbal dispute in the future. I really hate it."

"It's good to play by ear. After all, there is nothing the imperial sister can do if she insists on going her own way. At most, she will complain in secret." She paused, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that the three provinces will have the idea of ​​the imperial army."

Rong Ling said with a smile, "It's true that the Forbidden Army is successful and the Forbidden Army is defeated."

The autumn night is quiet, and the huge palace is even more silent. All sounds are swallowed by the quiet night before they go out of the palace wall, and return to silence.The sound of Rong Cheng's footsteps leaving the palace echoed continuously between the palace walls, slow and clear.She has been very familiar with this courtyard wall since she was a child, even without the four maids in front holding the lamps, she can still walk out of the palace gate steadily by relying on her memory.But the palace is so incapable of any willful freedom, everything is involuntary, and everything is bound by rules and etiquette.

The carriage that brought her here was still parked at a distance outside the palace gate, seeing her approaching Dong Ge, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Bai is here too, waiting for the princess inside." Rong Cheng spoke brightly. With a smile, his eyes are as bright as stars.

Three days later, the East Palace asked about politics, and Yang Shan was personally led by the Minister of War to meet Rong Ling. All the officials were there, especially the old officials from the three provinces looked a little ugly, and they held back and waited to make trouble later.

Yang Shanxing knelt down and performed the first ceremony, "The last general Yang Shan, deputy general of the Gaoshan battalion, joined His Royal Highness."

"General Yang, please get up." After Yang Shan stood up as he said, Rong Ling said, "General Yang has a front military report to submit this time?"

"Report to Your Highness." Yang Shan knelt down and said, "The last general is here to invite soldiers from the second battalion of Gaoshan, Xishui and the garrison of the cities on the south bank. The soldiers return to the camp, and now there is a big disparity between the enemy and us on the south bank. If the rebels feel the backlash, the previous efforts will be in vain, so in the future, I ask your highness to bestow a soldier talisman."

Rong Ling asked, "Princess Qingping has lived up to the trust of my palace. Come here."

Seeing that she wanted to give the military talisman, how could the two masters, Ye and Li, hold their breath? Li Chunsheng was the first to attack Yang Shan, not against Dong Gong, "You are the deputy general of the Gaoshan Camp, since you know that Princess Qingping doesn't have the military talisman, you still follow her?" Going out to hunt down the rebels has already violated the military law, how can you have the face to go back to the palace to ask for a soldier talisman now?"

Yang Shan kept his kneeling posture, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "At that time, the South Bank was occupied by the rebels, and all the prefectures stood still. How can we get back the great victory on the South Bank in exchange for a great victory in the Jiangbei camp? May I ask if there is anything wrong with what this lord general said?"

Li Chunsheng was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said anxiously, "Let me ask you, Li Wuda, the commander of the Gaoshan camp, was killed by the Qingping princess."

"As the general said just now, the Gaoshan camp allowed the rebels to crush our Daxia rivers and mountains with their iron hooves. It was actually the result of the secret collusion between the chief general Li Wuda and the rebels. fault."

"A bunch of nonsense."

"There are still correspondences between him and the rebel army in Li's mansion. Even if your lord sends someone to investigate, if there is even half a lie in the end, you will be willing to be punished."

Li Chunsheng has nothing to do at this moment, Ye Mei stepped forward when seeing this situation, he has never been as harsh as Li Chunsheng, he looks gentle but is cunning, "General Yang, don't worry, His Highness you mentioned will give you justice." He paused and said , "It's just that I don't know why you returned to Nanyang City suddenly, and as far as I know, you have no documents to return and no edict from the Ministry of War. Let me ask you this time Princess Qingping asked you to return to Beijing suddenly What is your intention? I’m afraid it’s not as simple as asking for soldiers.”

Yang Shan was embarrassed and speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to answer this, Rong Cheng smiled to help him out, and said, "Master Ye may have forgotten that it was an edict drawn up by the three provinces to let Princess Qingping return to Beijing, and the edict is waiting for you to return to the capital." His Highness's instructions were also issued by the three provinces, and this princess thought that Mr. Ye would not be so old-fashioned."

"Yes, yes, it's the old minister who is confused." Ye Mei pointed at Yang Shan and said, "But the one who should come back should be Princess Qingping, not him, the deputy general of the Gaoshan camp."

With a smile on his brow, Rong Cheng said, "Lord Ye doesn't know something, the Ministry of War also issued an edict to go to the front line earlier, saying that the front line is urgent and the deputy general should return to Beijing on behalf of the chief general."

Ye Mei pretended to be puzzled, "Is there another matter?"

Minister of the Ministry of War resolutely said, "Master Ye, if you don't believe me, you can go to the Ministry of War to check and copy the transcripts." Rong Cheng had already expected that there would be questions from the three provinces and had already made arrangements to deal with them. Naturally, the help of the Ministry of War was indispensable for these.

Ye Mei knows very well that if she continues to entangle, she will not get any benefit, not to mention that if the war is critical and continues to embarrass Yang Shan, it will delay the military situation and lose her prestige in front of the officials, which is self-defeating.So he was as normal as he was good, "The Princess is sure to believe in her words to guarantee the old minister. It is the old minister who has worried too much, so please forgive me."

"Lord Ye." Rong Ling said in a high position, "Qingping has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, how could he see the edict but not follow the edict to return to Beijing? At this moment, the rebel army has not been wiped out, Daxia is still in danger, if it is not for Junling General Yang Will you be here? Dear friends, I know that you are all loyal and show that the imperial court is the most important thing in everything, but this war is changing rapidly and cannot be delayed. General Yang has clearly explained the cause and effect. I think that there should be no objection to the matter of the military talisman .”
