Chapter 3 Three Shocks and Good Dreams

[Latest chapter reading.]

Qin Juexiang left the hut and walked along the road behind the house to the door of the slender courtyard

His figure flickered from hut to hut, as if a soldier were patrolling through a huge battlement of the wall, and as he passed behind the fourteenth hut, a dove flew down from the sky and landed in the window of the twenty-second hut

He walked forward without paying attention, and when he reached the fourth hut, the door of the twenty-second hut suddenly opened, and the clerk inside rushed out, chased him to his side, and bowed his head and presented a note: "Second master"

Qin Juexiang took the note, and unexpectedly the words on it were smaller and more than usual

He quickly read it, his face sank, and he grabbed the note and went straight to the backyard

The moon is lonely and the chrysanthemum is full of fragrance

Fang Zhennuo and the four of them were waiting Cheng Lian'an saw Qin Jue coming and stood up with a smile: "It's coming, it's coming, I'm waiting for you."

Qin Juexiang walked up the pavilion quickly

Zeng Shiquan put his hands on his knees and trembled Erlang's legs: "Second Master Qin is beating the six prefectures of Sanzhou and stepping on both sides of the Yellow River, so busy, what kind of big thing is this going to do just now?"

Qin Juexiang handed the note in his hand to Cheng Lian'an Cheng Lian'an took it with a smile, his eyes went up and down a few times, he blinked, and he didn't seem to see anything special, and handed the note to Fang Zhennuo lightly

Fang Zhennuo took it and looked at it, the smile on his face was like a thin wet mark at the bottom of the pot when it was heated, and it quickly shrunk, lightened, and dried out, revealing unprecedented prudence Zeng Shiquan poked his head and looked at it in his hand and smiled: "What else should I do, that's it" pulled it over and threw it to Kang Huai: "You can also take a look" Kang Huai was slightly confused after reading it, and asked Fang Zhennuo: "What should I do?"

Fang Zhennuo asked for a note and handed it to Cheng Lian'an: "Hurry into the palace and hand it over to Gonggong Feng"

Cheng Lian'an: "Is the situation serious?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Go quickly, use as fast as you can."

Feng Bao just coaxed the crown prince Zhu Yijun to fall asleep I heard that Cheng Lian'an was coming to see him, and hurriedly passed it in, only to see Cheng Lian'an come in and call softly, "Godfather" Without saying a word, he didn't salute Progress handed over a note Feng Bao looked at it and stared, his eyebrows suddenly raised and asked next to him: "The emperor is going to bed" A cub next to him: "I just drank with Concubine Li."

Feng Bao walked quickly Cheng Lian'an followed closely Several little eunuchs lined up in two rows to accompany the two of them to the outside of Concubine Li's dormitory I saw two palace maids carrying lanterns walking down the front steps of the palace door Feng Bao looked through them There was no light on the bedroom window It was obvious that the emperor had already laid down Feng Bao glanced back Cheng Lian'an stepped forward and grabbed a palace maid by the hair and hit the stone fence next to him The palace maid screamed The lantern let go

The faint light in the hall lit up followed by Longqing's voice Ask what is going on outside A palace maid replied Pushed open the door of the hall and came out to take a look Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "A palace maid accidentally tripped on the steps and startled the holy car " Longqing in the hall said: "Oh, it's Gonggong Feng" Feng Bao said: "It's the slave The slave has just received important news from the East Factory It is related to the rise and fall of the country So I hurried to prepare to tell the emperor I don't know if the emperor is asleep "

The hall was quiet for a moment, and Long Qing said: "Come in."

Feng Bao entered the hall

Cheng Lian'an let go of the palace maid, pouted, and said in a low voice: "Ten taels of silver each, and arrange to go elsewhere with that one" The two accompanying little eunuchs snatched it and took the two palace maids away

Cheng Lian'an and a few other little eunuchs waited outside the hall After a while, the lights in the hall were bright After a while, Feng Bao stepped out quickly and ordered down the steps: "Quickly spread the holy oracle and summon the four elders to discuss the affairs of the palace."

Half an hour later, Li Chunfang, Zhao Zhenji, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng all arrived The four of them passed the note in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but there was no sound

Long Qing's eyes wandered around: "What is the opinion of the four Qing family who have not been tried?"

Li Chunfang, as the first assistant, should be the first to speak, he looked at Zhao Zhenji and Gao Gong: "What do you mean by Zhao Lao and Gao Gong?"

Zhao Zhenji said: "I am a Han official in the Ming Dynasty, how can there be a gram of Brother Chang in the court, it is clear that the people who came deliberately made it difficult, deliberately swallowed and did not speak, concealed the intention, it can be seen that the heart is unpredictable, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is better to be faster after the beheading."

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said: "This son has a lot to do and admires my heaven and rushed to the kingdom to cut it for fear of hurting the hearts of distant people Killing this son will cause a big grudge Since then, the smoke on the nine sides has been rising, and the country has no peace, and you must not be so rash Li Chunfang said: "That is according to the uncle's opinion......"

Long Qing said: "Li Aiqing, you just have to ask others what your own opinion is."

"Uh......" Li Chunfang said hesitantly: "Back to the emperor, this son is nothing more than an orphan child, who has no prestige, and only drives his relatives to come with his wife, and it is useless to collect it, and he stays ...... Then the thieves and captives will pursue each other, and then the army will crush the city, and fear of inviting calamity, and then indulge in it...... Nor can it be ...... in the past."

Long Qing couldn't wait a little and frowned: "Then what should I do in my opinion?"

Li Chunfang was a little sweaty and arched his eyes: "Brother Su Qing......"

Gao Gong said: "This person came strangely and said in his words that he would see a gram of Brother Chang willing to confide in his true feelings As far as the minister knows, one gram in the Mongolian language means big One gram of Brother Chang should not be a Mongolian name but a Chinese name We can have a surname Chang in the court, and I have been to Tatar and have a good relationship with the captives."

Long Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up from the dragon chair: "I know it."

The moon breaks through the clouds, and the sky is primitive, and the maple is red to try the jade mountain

There is a small wild boar roasted on the bonfire shelf in front of the cabin It has seven minutes of heat The grease is dripping and the fragrance is all over the forest Looking through the forest through the roast pig It can be seen that the cloud flag on the top of the four girls is snowy, covered with fog and smoke, and the night view is clear, which is particularly beautiful

Chang Ziyao ran in circles beside her mother with her little hands in her hands, giggling and haha, and a string of tiger tooth necklaces around her neck was upside down

Ah Yao moved his body to chase after her and called: "Don't run too fast, look at your dirty fingers, don't take it out."

Chang Ziyao ignored it, ran to the campfire, squatted down beside his father, took out the index finger in his mouth, and raised it straight

Chang Sihao smiled, scraped some oil on the wild boar, felt no hot, and wiped it on her fingers

Chang Ziyao put his finger in his mouth and sucked it and ran away with a smile

Ah Yao said angrily: "The more I don't let you pay it back, the more I can't stand it for a while, and it's time to recruit ants again."

Chang Sihao said with a smile: "What are ants afraid of, sweet and sour, they grow strong when I eat them, and I ...... them when I was a child" Ah Yao said: "And said that when you were a child, you had a famine, and you couldn't say that you ate everything, and this is not that year, not to mention that we are still a girl." At this time, Ziyao often ran back with his index finger up to show his mother There was a small spider with red spots, thin legs, and big nails crawling on it, Ah Yao exclaimed: "Throw it away."

Before she finished speaking, Chang Ziyao had already smiled and put her finger in her mouth

Ah Yao's face was numb for a while, and he hurriedly grabbed her and broke her mouth: "Spit it out, spit it out, ah, ah" Chang Ziyao: "Ahh

Chang Sihao turned his head and scratched her face with a smile and said, "What did you eat again" Chang Ziyao: "Spider, spider" Chang Sihao: "Is it delicious "Chang Ziyao: "Good, eat " Chang Sihao said: "If you think it's delicious, you can eat it, and if you think it's not delicious, you won't eat it" Chang Ziyao: "Well" Ah Yao was about to go crazy: "How can you tell her that, can spiders be eaten?"

Chang Sihao smiled: "If you don't eat and eat, how do you know if you can eat it, no one eats crabs at the earliest, but now everyone is not eating" A Yao said: "How can it be the same" Chang Sihao said: "It's almost the same In short, living in this world Experience is very important If you grow up and haven't even eaten ants or honeycombs, then childhood is too boring."

Chang Ziyao looked up with a small face: "What is honeycomb, honeycomb"

Chang Sihao said "um", picked her up, walked in the woods, and soon saw a round honeycomb hanging high on the branch, he motioned to Ziyao to look, and whispered: "That's the honeycomb, you can't reach it now, and when you grow up and grow taller, you can go and poke it."

Chang Ziyao was very curious, kicked his legs hard in his father's arms, stretched his arms high and wanted to reach Chang Sihao turned away and said, "Well, no, now they are sleeping It's very rude to disturb people's sleep You know Chang Ziyao smiled: "Hmm"

Back to the bonfire, Chang Sihao looked at Ah Yao and said, "Ah, my mother is angry, Yaoyao, what should I do when my mother is angry" Put her on the ground Chang Ziyao ran two steps to her mother's side and squatted with her little hand on her hips, lowered her head and saluted, and whispered slowly: "Miss, everyone is beautiful, don't be angry" Ah Yao ignored it and turned his face Chang Ziyao turned to her again and saluted: "Miss, spare the slave and maid, this time" Looking at her serious and complaining little face, Ah Yao tensed and didn't hold back "Poof" laughed out loud and half-pouted and clapped her hand and said, "Okay, don't listen to your father." Don't eat that dirty stuff anymore."

Chang Sihao opened his hand and smiled: "The meat is good, grab the barbecue and eat it" Chang Ziyao broke away from his mother's arms and ran over

Three people and one tiger skin mat Eating meat around the bonfire Chang Ziyao sat between her parents and ate quickly one by one Ah Yao worried: "I always think that our child is a little weird Just a little bit of a small tooth can eat meat Tall and fast Other children are so big Some of them won't be able to go anymore Chang Sihao smiled: "That's because they are not strong enough Think about what you ate when you were pregnant What do ordinary people eat?" A Yao smiled: "What else do you say That meat is still angry now I'm afraid that I'm going to grow yellow hair on my body Chang Sihao smiled: "Huang Mao, it may not be, after becoming a mother, your majesty will tremble, if there is a king character on your head, it will be quite compatible with you," Ah Yao smiled and punched it lightly

After eating, I went to sleep in the house, and as soon as I lay down, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then someone stepped forward with both feet on the ground, and knocked on the door: "The Hou in the clouds will receive the order, the Hou in the clouds will receive the order."

Ah Yao wanted to get up, Chang Sihao stretched out his hand and held it, got up and put on his clothes to open the door, only to see an officer standing outside the door with a wheezing face, covered with sweat marks, and a few people behind him led horses to stand under the moon and asked, "What's the matter?"

The leader said: "The Marquis of Yunzhong received the order" without waiting for him to kneel and salute, and said directly: "The emperor has an order to summon you to return to Beijing immediately."

Chang Sihao frowned and said, "You go back and reply to ......" Without waiting for him to say the officer said again: "Master Hou, this matter is not negotiable, please please please go to the specific matters Let's talk slowly on the road" Chang Sihao smiled and said in a hard tone: "It's too late, please go to the toilet" said that the door was about to close, and the officer reached out and grabbed the door: "Master Hou, don't you care about the death of the country?"

Chang Sihao's body had already turned half of his body, and when he heard this, he turned back and looked at him

When the officer saw that he had to listen to it, he looked back at the others and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll say here Master Hou There are people knocking on the seventh day of the ninth month, and the knocker is a man and two women, and he has more than ten Tatar cavalrymen, and the man claims to be named Hannaji, and the two women are his wives, and the cavalry captain is called Aligo, and he is the husband of Hannaji's nurse."

When Chang Sihao heard this, Hannaji's expression became solemn

"Hannaji claimed that he was the grandson of Altan Khan, saying that he had come to surrender to Cheng After entering the city, the governor of Datong asked him why he came here to surrender to Cheng He was silent and kept saying that he must see a gram of Chang Ge Fang Ken to confide the truth Followed by the military report Altan Khan heard that his grandson had entered the Ming camp and thought that the Ming army had designed the abduction and had assembled a large army to march towards Datong Lord Fang urgently reported to Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, Lord Wang was in a hurry to report The news reached the emperor This is in a hurry to find you I don't think the horse is fast enough This purpose is to rely on the flying pigeons in the factory to pass the book In the past, I came to attack to loot materials This time, for Sun Tzu, the whole country's troops are tantamount to risking their lives, and the military situation is urgent, and now most of Datong has already started a war."

Ah Yao had already sat up in his clothes and heard it inside, and he couldn't help but be in a panic and moved forward with two wooden blocks in his hand Chang Sihao glanced back, turned back, and asked, "What countermeasures has the imperial court prepared?"

The secretary said: "The cabinet is divided into two factions, one faction wants to kill Hannaji, and the other faction wants to wait for you to go back and understand the situation, and now all the officials know about it, and most of the opinions are the former, because I have been robbing the border for many years, this is the best opportunity to attack him, and some say that this is a deliberate attempt by I to have an excuse to start a war."

Chang Sihao thought to himself: "The last time he infiltrated Hannaji into the Ming Realm and was kidnapped by Huoli Guwen, it was because Huang Taiji sent the news to Warat in advance It shows that the internal strife in Tatar is also dramatic This time is their uncle and nephew turned against each other He was forced to be desperate to go to Mingying to find me If this is the case, he can't be saddled with some conspiracy I replied that I asked Hannaji to lead troops to fight Warat Obviously I wanted to train him to be an heir It can be seen that the degree of attention If the grandson dies in the Ming camp, then this knot of hatred will not be able to be opened."

The secretary said: "Master Hou, we already had more empty horses when we came, let's go on the road."

Chang Sihao motioned for him to wait Closed the door and pondered by the fireside Ah Yao said: "It's not trivial for the Tatars to attack Hannaji is your friend again, and it is reasonable to go over and have a look, or it may not be possible to put this war to a halt" Seeing Chang Sihao look at himself, he said: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm waiting for you here, there is no shortage of everything here, I am used to living alone, and I have Ziyao as a companion, and I am not alone...... If you are really worried, you can send me to a nearby Tibetan village, where the inhabitants are simple and treat people very well, or I can go to Tangmen."

Chang Sihao muttered: "But I said I wanted to ...... with you" Ah Yao smiled: "Look at you, the love between children and daughters has grown up at this time I think you should learn from Fang Pillow Usually put the promise under your head and pillow it Always remember it Don't have to look at it anyway It's in the back of the head Couples for so long Don't I know your sex Don't say you're a man It's me If you think about how many lives this war will take How many homes will be destroyed If you don't know, it's just that if you don't stretch out your hand if you know, how can you live with peace of mind afterwards You don't let me carry this on my back for the rest of my life."

Chang Sihao sighed and said, "It's okay, then I'll send you to Tangmen by the way, no matter what, after all, it's still a relative, and I can always take a look."

The two took the child out and set off with the officer, all the way to the outside of the Jiuli Feihua Village, the night was dark and dreary, and the entrance of the village was quiet and windless, Chang Sihao asked the officer to go up to the village, and he reined in the horse and jumped down to spread the square mat on the ground, and then put the child in his arms A Yao down and put it on it, squatted down and put the cloth strap on the broken leg for her, put the two wooden blocks on both sides, and pressed her legs with two big hands, and said: "A Yao, I won't enter the village."

Ah Yao put the child in his hand and looked at him: "Husband, you have to be careful"

Chang Sihao also looked at her, stretched out his hand and gently touched the child's cheek, stood up and turned around to get on the horse, suddenly froze for a moment, and turned around again: "Where is your jade pendant?"

Ah Yao took it out of his arms: "What are you doing?" Chang Sihao stretched out his hand and said: "Give it to me, life and death are unpredictable at that time, if there is an unexpected ...... at that time" Ah Yao was holding the jade pendant in his hand and was handing it halfway Hearing this, he took it back and said coldly: "If something happens, you can also send someone to send it back" As he spoke, he slapped the jade pendant on the ground, picked up the wooden block at hand, and smashed the jade pendant into pieces, raised his head to meet her husband's surprised gaze, and asked, "Do you know why my father asked you to send the jade back to Taiyuan?"

Chang Sihao said: "...... Of course, to give a message to the family."

Ah Yao said with a cold face: "You are wrong, my father is afraid that you will kill you with the idea of revenge and die there, let you send this jade pendant, it is precisely because you want to leave this life, without you, what else do I want this stone to do?"

Chang Sihao: "A Yao......"

Ah Yao said: "Don't say it, I won't enter the Tang Gate, I'll go with you."
