Mountain barracks.
It used to be the home of a wealthy landlord and squire. After the uprising army captured the Western Fujian area, it became their temporary camp.
The courtyard was deep. In the inner courtyard, there was a man with an iron mask on the couch of the embroidery room where the squire used to live.
He was dressed in a plain cloth gown, and his mask covered the right half of his face. The rest of his face was white and handsome, completely different from the soldiers who were originally farmers here.
You can see at a glance that you are not an ordinary person.
The squire who originally lived in this room was beautiful and had a lot of temperament. She looked like a woman who had read books.
When they first arrived here, she volunteered her life to him with tears in her eyes. He didn't care about women until he heard that the young lady had been teased by the soldiers and died of humiliation.
For a moment, he was surprised, and then he understood why the young lady took the initiative to devote herself to her -
he knew that she could not escape the covet because of her appearance, so he simply dedicated himself to the leader of these barbarians, which might make him suffer as little humiliation as possible.
But he didn't know what miss was thinking, even though he knew He will still choose like this.
What does it have to do with the life and death of an unknown woman?
The cicadas outside the window are singing less and less. It's almost autumn, and the air is still sultry. It was hard for him to march for days. He closed his eyes slowly.
In a trance, he heard the squire crying.
"You killed me, you killed me!"
The woman's figure floats behind the screen, the ghost is whirling, the voice is sad and sad, it is chilling.
He had no expression: "even if I take you, I will throw it to them after using it. What do you think I can do for you, even if my wife is still like this? Besides, I didn't even use your kindness once. "
"You are cruel, husband, husband..."
The voice of the ghost suddenly changed its tone. He frowned. He didn't know why a woman he had never met called his husband.
But the ghost behind the screen floated out slowly, with a red phoenix crown and a round face, and the red skirt came towards him.
It's not miss squire. It's Princess Danyang.
"Husband, husband, husband The son-in-law. "
There was a moment of shudder in Yan Shuo.
Princess Danyang had already died, but now she was standing in front of him.
In his life, Yin Shuo was not afraid of ghosts and gods, did not believe in destiny, and never believed in retribution and karma.
"Son in law, I regret it."
The princess of Danyang was in tears. Her face was the same as that of the unmarried princess, but her expression was the sad one after she married into the prime minister's residence.
Yin Shuo knew that she must regret marrying herself.
Princess Danyang wiped her tears with her handkerchief and looked up at his eyes. "One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows, three combs of children and grandchildren I regret that when the palace sent me to get married, why didn't I let mammy comb her hair sing this song? "
"Is it because we didn't sing this auspicious song when we got married, so I was doomed not to be happy from the beginning? What about Kun Yuyang? Her family background is not as good as mine, and her situation is not as good as mine. She must have sung when she got married, didn't she? So uncle Ning loves her so much. "
Yin Shuo was silent for a long time.
"It's nothing to do with these. Even if mammy combed her hair and sang for you ten times and a hundred times at the beginning, you and I were doomed not to be happy. Take this life as if I'm sorry for you. "
Tears such as dry, her body gradually become thin, gradually transparent.
"One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrow, three combs of children and grandchildren. All the four combed silver shoots are in good order... "
Her voice lingered, sad and desolate, and Yin Shuo felt as if he was falling into an ice cave, and someone was talking in his ear.
He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that everything was a dream. I don't know if it was his guilty dream of Princess Danyang, or the soul of Princess Danyang
The subordinate stood by the couch, looking at him with some worry, "young master, have you had a nightmare?"
The prime minister has long since withered. At the beginning, few of his confidants were taken away in a hurry. Now the only one who can say a few words from his heart is the servant named Jiang Hui.
"I dreamed of the princess."
Jiang Hui hesitated for a moment and then said, "which princess are you talking about?"
Is it Princess Zhenjiang or princess Danyang?
Yan Shuo lost his voice and laughed, "of course, it's not Yufu. She's not the Zhenjiang Princess of Dongling, but the grand lady of Beili. I mean Princess Danyang. I dreamt of the comb song that she had been singing before she died. She would not stop singing until she was hoarse. Today I understand what it means
It is not only a comb song, but also the happiness that Princess Danyang pursues all her life.
Unfortunately, she didn't get it until she died.
Jiang Hui paused, "we left the prime minister's residence in a hurry, and we couldn't take Princess Danyang away. The master died and the young lady went away. The eldest son was the only hope of the Yin family. Who knows she can't think of it so much? She took poison and killed herself when she knew that the eldest son wanted to escape alone. ""Why did you say she committed suicide?"
Jiang Hui was stunned. "It's probably because she loves the eldest son deeply. She doesn't have the pleasure of living alone after the eldest son leaves..."
Yan Shuo laughed, "then you don't know me enough, and you don't know her enough."
Jiang Hui was silent.
He really didn't know about Yin Shuo, nor was he a confidant who had been waiting for him all the time. His confidant had been detained and interrogated by Peizheng, the Minister of Dali temple, in the imperial capital.
Seeing that Pei was a man of great means, proficient in all kinds of torture techniques, Yin Shuo saw that there was nothing he could do, so he took the risk and decided to leave.
His last group of confidants either stayed in the mansion to cover his escape, or died on the way to protect him. In the end, only Jiang Hui was available.
By the way, the man who pretended to be Yin Shuo's body and was almost burnt to coke was his most trusted confidant.
For a long time, Yin Shuo answered without asking, "he committed suicide because she knew that she would never let her live after I left. At the beginning, she could even see that Yu Fu was hiding in such a secret box, not to mention a charred corpse that was not very similar? "
"But..."
But you know that she is the only one who won't betray you at the end of the day.
This was only in Jiang Hui's mind, he didn't say it, saying it would only make Yin Shuo feel that his subordinate didn't understand himself enough.
In fact, he understood it -
in the hearts of people like Yin Shuo, only the dead would not betray themselves.
Yin Shuo poured a cup of tea for himself, and the teapot on the table was already cold and no one changed it. Fortunately, he was used to doing it himself in the army. After a cup of cold tea, he recovered a lot.
"By the way, you just came in. What's the matter?"
Jiang Hui then remembered what he had come to do. He said with his hand in his hand, "big boy, something happened again. In that case, the barbarians ransacked all the villages nearby, just took things, and even robbed the people's women, making a lot of trouble. It's said that many people have died today. Do you want to take care of them? "
Yan Shuo was not a woman, but he knew that many men had this kind of problem. Once honest men turned over, this kind of problem would be more obvious.
"Let them go. The lives of the people in these villages are like weeds, and they can't affect the big things. Let those barbarians be comfortable. How comfortable they are, they will do more when they fight. "
Yan Shuo himself was born in a noble family, but he knew these peasant uprising soldiers very well, otherwise he could not pull up such a team in a short month and quickly captured several cities in the mountainous area of the south of Dongling.
Next, he had to fight all the way to the north, and he had to rely on these full savages. He didn't have to offend them for some mountain villagers.
"Yes, young master."
When he quietly left the room and brought it to the door, he could not help thinking of the miserable death of the young lady of the squire's family who had lived in the room the day before yesterday.
Only Yin Shuo dared to live in such a house.
……
"Lingnan lost? Is Minjiang lost? Are not all the rivers and mountains in the south of Dongling in the hands of traitors
In the court, Ning Chengzhi sat down, almost unable to believe everything in front of him.
In just two months, great changes have taken place in Dongling.
As soon as the general of Gu's army left, the first disaster was not a massive attack by Xikun, but a rebellion by the people themselves.
After three generations of emperors, Dongling never had an uprising among the people in the Middle Kingdom. The uprising rebels even claimed that "emperor Ning was ignorant, and the imperial court should be able to live in it".
His face was completely disgraced. As long as the rebels were not removed for a day, there would be some people who would say that he was stupid.
He has never regretted letting Gu huaijiang and his son leave Dongling as he does now. If they are still there, if Gu Jiajun is still there Yes, Gu Jiajun!
"Let Gu's army fight the rebellion! I believe Gu Jiajun can do it
When Ning Chengzhi said this, the courtiers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, there has been no family guard for a long time. Did you forget? As soon as they left, you abolished the name of Gu's army, saying that Dongling will never have Gu's army again... "
"Which general would like to fight against the rebels?"
The ministers immediately lowered their heads and pretended not to hear him, especially the generals, who wanted to bury their heads on the ground.
Ning Chengzhi was both shy and angry. He couldn't take care of 3721. "He couldn't manage so much, so he called back the people who had been in charge of the family army to form an army. I remember that there are still some four or five grade generals in the Gu family's army. Let them lead the troops to suppress the rebellion! "
"No, your majesty
Ning Xuan stepped out and said, "the army of Gu family has been invincible for many years, and no one can stop it. That's because Marquis Gu has a good command of the army. Now that Marquis Gu is not here, so are the main generals in his army. Those generals with too low rank have never led a war. How can they be competent to suppress the rebels? "
"Neither this nor that. What do you want me to do? Can't you just watch the rebels fight to Lin'an? "Ning Xuan clenched his teeth, "if your majesty can trust me, I will ask you to lead the troops to fight. Although I have never led a war, I have seen a lot of art of war. What's more, as a royal family, Chen personally led the army to fight, which may have a certain deterrent effect on the rebels. Let the former Minister of Gu's army help us. I think we can be competent! "
Ning Chengzhi is very happy.
At the moment, no one in the court dares to lead the army to the battle, but Ning Xuan takes the initiative to ask for the battle, which can't help but make him moved by his true feelings in adversity.
He immediately waved, "OK! Then I'll make you prince of Pingnan. You must put down the rebellion. Don't let the rebels occupy more cities and lands! "
"Yes."
Ning Xuan knelt down to receive the order, "minister, will not violate orders!"
All the way back to the mansion, Ning Xuan is absent-minded, and his servant congratulates him on being the princess, and he has no time to pay attention to it.
Just now in the hall, he was so crazy that he volunteered to fight. Now his heart is very complicated -
it's not that he is afraid of death, but that Kunyu has a big stomach for seven months. If she wants to know this, she will not be angry?
As soon as he got to the mansion, he saw Kunyu waiting for him with his stomach in full swing.
The secret way in his heart is not good. When he wants to avoid it, Kun Yuyang's voice comes, "husband!"
Her voice with joy, Ning Xuan looked back, the woman gradually plump up face with a smile.
He couldn't help laughing. What did he do to scare himself? He came back to the palace on horseback. Naturally, the will of the palace could not arrive faster than him.
"Husband, I have good news for you. It's about children! Guess what? "
Kun Yuyang is smiling. The mother's face is very kind. When his mouth is slightly tilted, he looks like Guanyin on the seat. He has a clean bottle in his hand.
Ning Xuan thought, "is the diagnosis and treatment of Taiyi a male fetus?"
The corners of Kun Yu's mouth suddenly pursed and said, "my husband likes boys. How can he cheat people into saying that boys and girls are good..."
Ning Xuan quickly explained, "I don't mean that! Naturally, boys and girls are good, but father would be more happy if he had his eldest grandson. Don't worry. In fact, I prefer my daughter in my heart. I'd better be as beautiful and intelligent as you. "
Kunyu chuckled and was coaxed by him, "OK, I'll tell you. Today, Tai Yi did come, but he didn't say whether it was a boy or a girl. He just said that I had twins in my stomach. "
"Really?"
Ning Xuan is overjoyed. She doesn't care about the servant girl. She hugs Kun Yuyang, holds her abdomen and says, "no wonder the lady's stomach is bigger than that of the ordinary seven month old. She's a twin. After that, she should take care of her more carefully."
Then he helped her to the house.
Kun Yuyang put his hand on him and walked slowly with his stomach in his hand. He suddenly worried: "but now the country is not peaceful. I'm worried that the child will face the war as soon as he is born. There are more than two months left. Who knows what Dongling will be like in more than two months? "
Kunyuyang is a woman in Xikun. She is used to paying attention to the events of the imperial court. She knows a lot about the uprising of the peasants in the south.
According to her estimation, it is still unknown whether the imperial court can surpass this rebel army. They should have made preparations early.
Kun Yu Yang looked around and took out a letter from his sleeve. "There is another good news to tell my husband. What do you think it is?"
Ning Xuan saw a sword totem on the top and knew it was from Beili. "Your Highness has sent you a letter?"
Kunyuyang said with a smile: "now it's not your highness. Yufu has become the queen of Beili. Now it's your majesty. It can be seen that Beili has done a good job in keeping secrets. Unless they disclose it intentionally, Dongling and Xikun know nothing about them. "
Ning Xuan nodded, can't help feeling, "Beili nvjun, she used to be such a big little girl. It's very sad to think about it. By the way, what did she say to you in her letter? "
Kunyuyang said with a smile: "now Dongling is in turmoil, and Xikun has opened the door to accommodate Dongling's refugees. As you know, what Xikun lacks most is manpower. You must know very well what my father wants to accept these refugees. I was worried about this. Yufu's letter arrived. She said that Beili was also opening its door to accept Dongling refugees. These people not only have farmland to cultivate, but also don't have to pay taxes for three years. They can also take the imperial examination just like ordinary Beili people. For both public and private purposes, I hope that the refugees will go to Beili. "
Ning Xuan can't help but smile bitterly. When he wants to say something, he suddenly hears a sound of footwork outside.
I saw a group of palace people coming towards them, and the leader was holding the imperial edict of Ming Huang, "congratulations to the prince of Pingnan. This is the imperial edict of the prince of Pingnan, and the seal of the prince's gold book. Please have a look at it in person."
Ningxuan heart secret way is not good, kunyuyang has said: "what Pingnan County King? Well, why did your majesty make you prince of Pingnan? "
Palace person is about to open mouth to explain, rather Xuan a Yan absolute being in the past, the latter immediately discerns interest ground to retreat to go out.
Ning Xuan wants to explain to Kun Yuyang, but she mumbles to herself: "Prince of Pingnan, Pingnan Does your majesty want you to wipe out the southern rebels? "
Ning Xuan face record embarrassed color, "Yu Yang, you listen to explain for husband, things are not what you think..."Before he could explain everything, Kun Yuyang fainted in his arms
