Chapter 224: Congratulations (I)

Late winter in December.

However, in a few days, the army of the king of Chu quickly pacified the land of Wu and sent someone to report back to the queen mother of Jingzhou, which relieved everyone and got the letter, and everyone was happy.

Jingzhou, in the temporary residence of the Song family.

Song Han sat on the top, Song Heng sat on the side, and standing next to Song Han was Song Ziye, the eldest son of the Song family.

The other slaves were all pushed back, far away, and could not hear the conversation of the three people in the room.

The current Song Ziye is far from being comparable to that day.

In the past, the contradiction between Song Ziye and Wang Hongyi actually came from some kind of subtle jealousy, but now, the gap is getting more and more sandwiched, and even jealousy has nowhere to talk about it, but has subsided.

got rid of this subconscious, and after years of experience, after experiencing the rise and fall of the family, Song Ziye has been reborn.

I saw Song Ziye wearing a long robe, a vest inside, a red belt, dark and bright eyes on his face, and his demeanor was calm and chic, which made people forget at first sight.

The foundation itself is good, and the civil and military are all cultivated, and at this time it finally became a bit of a climate.

He is now married to a wife, but in order to avoid suspicion, he married a woman from an ordinary big family, whose daughter is outstanding, and her temperament is more virtuous and considerate, because it is not a family marriage, Song Han chose it for him, and the husband and wife are very satisfied, but they have a little affection, and they cannot but say that it is a blessing in disguise.

Now Song Han has become an official, although he is an official for the first time, but the connections of the Song family are there, and many things are handed over to him, and it is very appropriate to do it.

This also made some people who were not optimistic about him at first silently shut their mouths. No matter what, the daughters of other families are now in a stable position in the palace, and they have children under their knees, so they can't be shaken easily.

Song Heng took charge of the family's affairs after Song Han came out, in fact, when Song Han was still in charge of the family, Song Heng was not idle, but now he is responsible for more and more things, and he looks a lot thinner.

The mood is very good, although the cheeks have lost weight, but the mental state is very good, and there is a faint spring breeze.

After Wang Hongyi sent the news back to Jingzhou, Queen Song Xinyou also summoned her father Song Han and told them about the matter.

In fact, even if Song Xinyou doesn't say it, with their current connections, the speed at which they get news outside the palace will only be faster than Song Xinyou, but these news are all from small sources, and they are not as reliable as those from the palace.

As soon as Song Han returned home, he called his second brother Song Dan and his eldest son Song Ziye over.

"Big brother, I don't know how the battle is going on ahead?Did the queen summon you, did you mean this?" In this family, Song Heng naturally didn't need to beat around the bush, and asked Song Han directly.

"Yes, this is exactly what the queen summoned to her brother. The battle at the front has ended, the king of Chu has captured Jinling a few days ago, and now almost all the prefectures and counties in the territory of Wu have submitted to the king of Chu. , Song Han said.

"So fast?" Song Heng said in surprise: "When I got the news yesterday, the little brother thought it was just some exaggerated legends, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Wu Land, which has 100,000 soldiers and a population of 7 million in 21 counties, was occupied like this?

"When I first heard about this matter, I was quite surprised, but the king of Chu was already young and promising, and the Chu army was also a victorious army. Song Han said commentably.

"Oh, did the queen summon the eldest brother, did she say anything else......? , Song Dan quickly thought of the matter of moving the capital, so his eyes lit up and he looked over.

Jinling is different from Xiangyang, since ancient times, several generations of founding chalk monarchs have set the capital in Jinling, which is not only due to the luck well, but also has the reason for the topography.

Now that Wang Hongyi has defeated Wu Yue, it can be said that in this large piece of land, Wang Hongyi has controlled the entire south.

In this case, Wang Hongyi moved the capital again, sooner or later.

"Second brother, you have been in the clan for the past few days, and some people have been dispatched to Jinling when the time comes. , Song Han said to Song Heng.

"What?" Hearing Song Han's words, Song Heng was slightly stunned, and then his face changed rapidly, and he understood the meaning.

"So, the matter of moving the capital is already a sure thing?" Song Heng asked in a low voice.

Although the Song family has always been low-key, they will not interfere in many sensitive matters, and they don't want to destroy their relationship with Wang Hongyi, but this is not a chalk expression, as a sandwich family, they will not do anything.

Even if they don't do it, other families, even the maiden families of palace concubines with some forces in the palace, will not do nothing.

Some support that should be provided, some connections that should be provided, Song Han still has to provide Song Xinyou.

As the queen of the main palace, what she should do is not only to teach her husband and children, balance the situation of all parties in the palace, prevent scandals from happening in the palace, and clean up the details sent into the palace by other princes.

Where to find people from close friends?

Naturally, a small amount of it is cultivated by Song Xinyou himself, and more of it is the loyal servants provided by the family.

His parents are in the hands of the Song family, and as the son of the family, he has received the favor of the Song family since he was a child, how can such a person be easily bought by others.

Although Wang Hongyi is disgusted that the family stretches his hands too long, he is quite relieved to hand over the big and small affairs of the harem to Song Xinyou, he is not such an ignorant person, knowing that the queen of the main palace has no power and no one in his hands, not to mention managing the harem, it is quite difficult to protect himself and his son-in-law, so he is also quite accommodating in this regard.

The Song family has cultivated a lot of contacts outside the palace, and they are dedicated to serving the queen and concubines.

If the capital is moved this time, the connections placed in Xiangyang will not be able to move easily, and Jinling is not the place where the family is located, so it is still necessary to cultivate a group of cronies in the past, so that they can rest assured.

"The queen said this to her brother, and it must be true. , Song Han said in a deep voice: "The speed of this matter must be fast, I am afraid that the relocation of the capital will be moved in the next few days." ,

"Please rest assured, the younger brother will handle this matter properly. , Song Heng said with a smile.

"Zi Fei, this time, go to Jinling!" Song Han looked at his sister-in-law Song Ziye who was standing aside.

"Father, please. , Ji Ziye hurriedly came to his father and bowed down and said respectfully.

"The situation in Jinling, although it has calmed down, but the old capital of Wudi, the king of Chu moved the capital, and the power of the Song family who has lived in Jinling for a long time in the future is bound to be slowly cultivated there. , Song Han said earnestly.

Song Ziye hurriedly said respectfully: "Please rest assured that the father will definitely finish this matter." ,

After saying this, Song Han sighed, the most important thing is that Wang Hongyi has not yet established a prince.

If the crown prince is established, many things will be much easier to do.

A few days later, the Jingzhou harem moved, and after a few busy days, it began to move towards Jinling one after another.

"Queen Mother, slow down. , helped Mrs. Wang into the carriage, and the female official in the palace came to Song Xinyou's car and reported: "Queen, everything is ready, do you want to go?"

"Well, let's go!" Song Xinyou said decisively.

The procession headed towards the wharf, where there was a royal boat and took it to Jinling.

This is not the first time to migrate the harem, compared to the panic of the first time, this time the migration is much less hurried.

Song Xinyou has been in charge of the harem for many years now, and she has the majesty of the queen in every move, under her management, none of the slaves in the harem dare to steal and play tricks, and they didn't cause any trouble along the way, which was very smooth.

Although it was the middle of winter, because of the good preparation and the smooth waterway, everyone did not suffer much along the way.

The old lady became more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law Song Xinyou, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the other party had everyone's bearing and was worthy of being her son's main room.

To say that a few years ago, there was still an estrangement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and with the continuous expansion of Wang Hongyi's foundation, one of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the queen and the other was the queen mother, but they respected each other like guests.

On December 26, Wang Hongyi received a report in the morning, saying that the Queen Mother and her party were about to arrive.

So he made people sweep the streets, clean the city gates, and prepared arrangements, and on the morning of the next day, he took a cadre of civil and military officers out of the city gate for three miles to welcome the queen mother and her people.

On the seventh day of December 2feng, in the morning, the Empress Dowager Chu and the Queen of Chu arrived outside Jinling City.

Under the ride of the king of Chu, the queen mother and the queen and others drove into the city.

Within the royal palace in the inner city, everything was arranged.

Wang Hongyi first welcomed the Queen Mother to Cining Palace, and when she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother went first to the son, and Wang Hongyi went to salute again.

Seeing Wang Hongyi come in, the palace maids knelt down together, but the queen only needed to make a blessing slowly.

At this time, the fire was lit, and as soon as I entered, I felt warm and very satisfied, and saluted the Queen Mother, smiling: "Mother, what do you think of this?"

The Queen Mother looked at her beloved son with moist eyes, and sighed: "These are too extravagant, my old woman is afraid that she can't stand it, yesterday on the boat, I still had a dream, hey, you have lost weight." ,

There was a slight distress in his tone.

Wang Hongyi smiled, leaned over and said, "Mother is my mother, what's the point I can't stand it...... I wonder what my mother dreamed?"

The Queen Mother said: "I dreamed that I went to a certain Tang Dynasty It is very bright, and there is a god on the temple, but it is you, hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." ,

"Bothering the mother is the son who is not filial. , Wang Hongyi smiled busily: "Whenever you encounter a dream of the Grand Corridor Temple, it is auspicious, and my mother doesn't have to worry too much." ,

The Queen Mother Wang shook her head and said: "My son, today is a happy day, don't talk about this, you have won a great victory, made great achievements, and my mother has never congratulated me, you have to talk about it, we all want to hear it!"

Then he called the queen and the concubines, and the family sat together and talked about common things.

Soon after, an inner servant came to the will of the king of Chu, ordering hundreds of civil and military officials to attend the palace banquet in the afternoon to wash the dust for the queen mother.

No one shirked this, and when they received the will, everyone began to prepare for it.

Bathing and changing clothes is a must, racking your brains to think about auspicious words is also a must, in short, when encountering such a happy event, everyone must have something to say, which means that it is not a gift, but a congratulatory couplet. (To be continued.)
