Family Has a Concubine

"There's something wrong with Yingcheng." Liang Wang's red lips provoked a sneer.

Chu Yunpan asked, "What's the situation?"

"Xilu captured the Northwest at the end of last year. I thought it would take a while to recuperate. Unexpectedly, last month, it raided Yingcheng together with Nanman." Liang Wang's slender fingers tapped on the nanmu coffee table beside him, "General Feng thought that Xilu attacked The vitality of the Northwest was severely injured, and he slackened for a while, and was beheaded under the horse."

"What?" Chu Yunpan was startled.

General Feng is the concubine of the crown prince—the father of Concubine Feng, and the bravest member of the Feng family, and he is the one who guards Yingcheng. Unexpectedly, he was beheaded!

"On the other side of Yingcheng, relying on the small nest, I don't know how long it will last." Liang Wang sneered, and looked up at Chu Yunpan: "Chu San'er, originally, you won the first prize, so I thought you would be a good civil servant." After all, you have become the number one scholar, and it will not work to hide your name under the command of King Kang. There is also a General Xu in the northwest, and it is not so easy for you to take the military path. Now Yingcheng...is very likely to collapse. "

Whether Yingcheng will be breached or not, King Liang is not sure.

Whether it was Xilu or Nanman, King Liang didn't know how they would attack.

Even though the Feng family is the crown prince's power, King Liang will not bring in foreign enemies in order to get rid of the Feng family.

That is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!

Even if he wanted to get that position again, he would not do such a thing.

Half of the Xiao family's blood was still flowing on his body.

"The Feng family spent a lot of effort defending Yingcheng, and now the two clans are attacking together. The main general, General Feng, has been beheaded. The chance...is great." Liang Wang said.

"I'll go!" Chu Yunpan said without hesitation, "If there is a chance, I will go."

"Have you thought it through?" Liang Wang's eyes dimmed, "You are not white now. You are the number one scholar with a bright future!"

Liang Wang really wanted someone to get the military power. As for the civil servants in the court, it is also a great help for him to have someone useful. But the military power is almost all in the hands of the crown prince and Emperor Zhengxuan. So military power is the big head.

But for Chu Yunpan, being a top pick has a more stable future.

After all, no one knows what will happen on the ever-changing battlefield.

Even though Chu Yunpan has outstanding talent and has been trained for many years, he has never personally experienced a real war.

If you die there, there is nothing left.

"I'll go!" Chu Yunpan still had these two words.

When King Liang heard his words, he couldn't feel happy at all. He just looked at his familiar face and frowned slightly: "You go back and think about it."

Standing up while speaking, he sneered again: "Maybe the Feng family is guarding it! You have no chance at all."

...

Prince's Mansion——

Zhenghua Institute——

The princess was sitting on the nanmu couch, her face was livid: "Why was my second brother imprisoned in Dali Temple?"

Qin Se's face paled slightly: "I heard that the household registration books were changed for Xu Rui and Yin Tingniang and others."

"What are those two things? It's just an outer room and the oil bottle. How could he do such a stupid thing?" The princess was so angry that her chest couldn't stop heaving. People in high positions have also heard about it. "And, that Zhang Zan... how dare he do that! Where is the prince?"

"To Concubine Feng's place!" Qin Se whispered.

"Doesn't he have something to say to me?" The princess was annoyed.

Her second brother Yao Li was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and he was imprisoned by his own people. How could the prince get her to show his face, whether it was to blame or something else, he should also show his face, instead of being indifferent like this.

"That's strange, isn't he only holding on to Bai Ruyan's little bastard all this time?" The Crown Princess sneered, "And now he's thinking of Concubine Feng again!"

The Crown Princess doesn't care about Bai Ruyan and her like. After all, it depends on beauty. Concubine Feng is her serious worry.

When the crown prince was so hot with Bai Ruyan, he would even visit Concubine Feng's place, which made the crown prince's heart ring loudly.

"There's another piece of news from home, it's about the Feng family!" Qin Se lowered her voice, a sneer flashed in her eyes, the home she was talking about was naturally the Yao family, "There is another urgent report from Yingcheng, I heard , Concubine Feng's father—that General Feng was beheaded!"

"What?" The Crown Princess was so excited that she jumped up, "General Feng was killed?" Then her eyes were full of ecstasy, "Then Yingcheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend it!"

Yingcheng couldn't hold it any longer, if the Xilu bandits came over and attacked Beijing, the whole Daqi would fall.

But the crown princess didn't think about that, she only knew that Feng's greatest reliance was about to fall. At that time, the backyard of the Prince's Mansion will belong to her natal family, who will be the most powerful! See if the prince dares to despise her!

"Ha ha!" Thinking of this, the crown princess sat down calmly, "It's no wonder the crown prince went to her place, as expected, she is the more pitiful one! Come, bring in the snow clams stewed today!" Craving for sweets.

Concubine Feng's residence——

An ordinary-looking woman with a square face lay on the bed crying bitterly: "My father is dead! Impossible to die...my father... woo woo woo... Yingcheng will also defend it! I will definitely defend it!"

"Don't worry, Concubine Ai, she will guard it." The crown prince was horrified when he heard that General Feng was beheaded. He hurried to comfort Concubine Feng. It seemed that by comforting her, he could also comfort himself.

"My elder brother and younger brother are both brave men, and they will definitely inherit my father's mantle." Concubine Feng leaned on the crown prince, crying and comforting herself.

...

It was almost midnight when Chu Yunpan returned home.

Yu Han walked ahead with a lantern and returned to the gate of Lanzhuju. Yu Yang was sitting on the Daqing Stone at the gate, and Chu Yunpan raised his foot to walk towards Qiongmingxuan.

Yu Yang said: "Miss Ling is here, and she is living in the west wing of the third grandma."

Chu Yunpan frowned slightly, feeling even more depressed.

Yu Yang felt that Chu Yunpan was in a bad mood, so he said, "Third Master, Third Grandma left you a piece of watermelon and put it in the bedroom."

Chu Yunpan walked into the bedroom and saw a plate with a piece of bright red watermelon on the small round table.

Chu Yunpan picked it up and was about to eat when he suddenly saw Yu Yang sitting at the door and watching eagerly.

Chu Yunpan glared at him: "Go away, I won't give it to you."

Yu Yang was instantly heartbroken.

...

Early the next morning, although the officials had not yet gone to court, they already knew about General Feng's beheading.

When all the ministers entered the court, Emperor Zhengxuan sat on the dragon chair and told about Yingcheng.

The courtiers kept saying good things: "General Feng died for the country, how sad. But there are still a few young generals below, all of them are brave, and they will definitely defend Yingcheng for our Daqi."

"The last time I went to supervise the army, I saw the heroic appearance of several young generals Feng, all of them are good generals. Now is the time for them to play their best."

The ministers kept saying good things and boasting.

But the gloomy expression of Emperor Zhengxuan, who was at the top, did not ease.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, an old voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man with gray hair coming out. This person was the beheaded General Feng's father——Feng Laojun, who was seventy years old this year.

Old General Feng had a sad look on his face: "Please allow the emperor to go out again!"

The courtiers were startled, and Emperor Zhengxuan said without hesitation: "Okay, Aiqing, let's go!"

Old General Feng quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and the courtiers praised him again and again, saying that he is always strong and strong.

Emperor Zhengxuan rubbed his temples, then looked at King Kang and General Xu at the side: "You two hurry back to the northwest as soon as possible. Hold that side, if Xilu can't attack Yingcheng and counterattack the northwest."

King Kang and General Xu quickly took orders.

Emperor Zhengxuan let out a sigh of relief, although General Feng is dead, but the old general is experienced, and with him to sit in Yingcheng, everything will be safe.

There is another Xu Dashi in the northwest, so there will be no problem.

Emperor Zhengxuan calmed down, and then looked at Zhang Zan and Yao Li, the minister of household affairs.

"Your Majesty!" Yao Li knelt down with a plop. He is a thin middle-aged man in his early forties.

"How's the trial going?" Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Zhang Zan.

"Ye Hewen didn't know how they operated inside at all. He said that because he trusted Xu Rui, he handed over the household registration book to Xu Rui. At that time, he only thought that Xu Rui was capable, but he didn't know how to operate it. Both Xu Rui and Yao Shilang recruited Yes, one bribes Luo, and the other accepts money!" Zhang Zan shook his head.

Emperor Zhengxuan glanced at Yao Li coldly.

"This humble minister...has owed the emperor's favor." Yao Li's face was ashen. It was the prince who told him to do this matter. But of course he couldn't bite out the prince, so he could only carry the blame himself! Lied that he took money, "Wei Chen...was greedy for money for a while, so he took Xu Rui a thousand taels of silver."

The courtiers all frowned and looked at each other, just for one thousand taels?

This Yao family is a famous family! Moreover, she is from a century-old scholarly family with a profound background, so shallow-sighted?

"Back to the emperor, I couldn't find any evidence or clues that Mr. Yao received the money, nor could I find the dirty money." Zhang Zan reported the truth, but only pointed to the end.

"Money... spent... spent!" Yao Li gritted his teeth.

Zhang Zan only took a deep look at Yao Li. He has already found out that Xu Rui has been in and out of the Prince's Mansion many times. I believe the emperor has also found out.

Emperor Zhengxuan frowned, pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly, and said to Zhang Zan: "How to punish this crime?"

Zhang Zan clasped his hands and said, "Thirty lashes and removal from office!"

"Go and execute the punishment!" Emperor Zhengxuan said coldly.

Immediately, two guards came in and dragged Yao Li down.

Standing aside, Liang Wang's face was as cold as frost, his charming phoenix eyes flashed a mocking cold light, he still couldn't bear to touch the prince!

Seeing King Liang's cold expression, Emperor Zhengxuan frowned and sighed slightly.

After discussing the matter of the spring flood for a while, he withdrew from the court.

Emperor Zhengxuan supported Cai Jie's hand and went back to the imperial study. Sitting behind the big dragon table, his gray eyebrows were deeply frowned.

After thinking about it, he said, "Where is King Liang?"

"I should go back." Cai Jie said, "As soon as the court was over, His Royal Highness Liang Wang went out. I wonder if he has left the palace now."

Emperor Zhengxuan sighed slightly, pondered for a while before saying: "Isn't there a Zhuangzi with a hot spring in the suburbs?"

"Yes." Cai Jie nodded.

That Zhuangzi was the place where the emperor sheltered from the cold in winter. Not only was the environment quiet and serene, but there was also a hot soup spring. It is really rare for a hot soup spring to appear in this terrain.

"Send this Zhuangzi to King Liang," said Emperor Zhengxuan.

"The slave is going here."

After Cai Jie published the imperial book, he went after Liang Wang. Finally, I saw someone in the stable of Donghua Gate. King Liang was leading his red horse out.

"Your Highness." Cai Jie bowed and said, "There is a Zhuangzi with a hot soup spring in the outskirts of the emperor..."

"No!" Liang Wang refused without even thinking about it, and sneered, "This king already has one of this kind with a hot spring. Father loves the prince so much, so let's give it to the prince!"

After finishing speaking, he got on the horse, flicked the whip, and galloped away.

"This..." Cai Jie looked at Liang Wang's back, and didn't know what to say for a while, especially the last sentence "I love the prince the most", which made Cai Jie tremble with fear. After thinking about it, I had no choice but to leave.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Zhengxuan was playing chess alone, when he heard the sound, he raised his head: "How, can you see someone?"

Cai Jie bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor...Your Highness said...he already has such a Zhuangzi."

Emperor Zhengxuan frowned deeply.

Thinking that I seem to be partial to the prince, I always feel indebted to King Liang. But King Liang didn't want his things, so Emperor Zhengxuan was very upset.

He has always felt indebted to this son, and also to the former empress and the Xiao family...
