Jing Shao turned his head to look at Yong Chang Bo, and when he heard the word "severe punishment", obvious killing intent appeared in his eyes. This group of despicable villains, who can't pick out his fault, will take his Jun Qing to the knife.

Emperor Hongzheng restrained his smile, but did not say a word, watching Jing Shao's response.

"The princess is with the army, not for her own personal feelings," Jing Shao recalled the words of his own princess's admonition last night, and suppressed his anger, "The princess is very smart, and this trip is a military advisor in the army."

"Is the lord joking?" Uncle Yongchang thought he was very reasonable, and sneered, "There are so many people of insight in the world, why does the lord choose the military division to single out his beautiful princess?" The maliciousness in these words It was very obvious, meaning that Jing Shao was just greedy for beauty, and even Mu Hanzhang was completely insulted.

Jing Shao's fists clenched loudly. Hearing these words, he couldn't hold back any longer. He punched Yong Changbo's old face: "Keep your mouth clean for this king!"

Yongchangbo was caught off guard and was knocked down by Chengwang.

"Jingshao!" When Jingchen saw this, he hurriedly went up and pulled him. The Duke of Mao who was beside him hurriedly came to help Yong Changbo, and there was chaos in the courtroom.

"Shut up for me!" Emperor Hongzheng rubbed his forehead and gave a cold drink.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The courtier immediately knelt down, and the two brothers standing in the center naturally knelt down, but Jing Shao was obviously still angry, as if he would kick Yong Changbo again if he stood up.

Emperor Hongzheng reprimanded two more sentences, and asked Jingchen to pull Jingshao back to his original position and stand up, and then let everyone get up, but the reprimands were all for the noise of the crowd, and he didn't mention that Wang beat Yongchangbo. Everyone knew that the emperor was planning to protect King Cheng, so they kept their mouths shut and did not dare to say more.

Jingchen touched his brother lightly and gave him a look of "go and pretend to be pitiful".

Jing Shao understood and knelt down to his majesty's steps with a thud: "Imperial Father, I don't want to reward my son for fighting the rebellion this time, but I just ask Father Father not to punish his concubine! In order to protect the 20,000 soldiers in the camp, the concubine was arrested. The southeast archer was slashed, and his body is still not in good shape, so he can't stand the punishment!" He kowtowed three times in a row, his voice was a little choked, and the thought of Jun Qing's passing out of pain made his heart feel like a knife to this day. twist.

The courtiers were silent for a while. King Cheng has leveled the two vassals in a few months this time, which is really an extraordinary achievement. As a prince, he can be sealed without a seal. Chilling indeed. Thinking that King Cheng, as the direct son of the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, had great military exploits, he was forced to marry a male wife, and now he has accepted his fate, but he has to do this to protect his concubine. Even those neutral Qingliu factions are inevitably born. Some rabbits are dead and foxes are sad.

Emperor Hongzheng gradually frowned, his eyes swept over the expressions of everyone, and finally fell on the fourth prince who bowed his head and said nothing. The fourth prince felt his father's gaze, but did not dare to look up.

"My son thought," Jingchen said slowly when he saw that no one was talking, "As a man, Princess Cheng is understandable to leave the inner house."

"Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen heard that the two feudal vassals have been quelled in a few months this time, and Princess Cheng has played a vital role as a military advisor." Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War saw Jingchen speak, and followed him out of the line, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The post-war excerpts have been handed over to Beijing, and the above has praised this military advisor.

"Your Majesty, Hao Dadao is a rude person and doesn't understand these rules and etiquettes, but if it wasn't for the strategist's ingenious plan in this battle, the last general would not be able to break the Huya Hezui, and General Zhao would not be able to break the victory level in a few days." Hao Dadao couldn't help but immediately made a statement to prove it.

"Wei ministers can testify that the accounts of the military are entirely due to Princess Cheng's credit." Xiao Yuan, who had been promoted to the minister of officials, also came out, and the newly appointed minister of the household also came out and said that this audit was due to the pro-military. Advice from the booklet transcribed by the military division.

Except for Duke Mao and Uncle Yongchang, the rest of the courtiers came out one after another to join in.

"The matter of Princess Cheng's departure from the capital is my special permission." Emperor Hongzheng said lightly.

Bo Yongchang looked at the fourth prince as if struck by lightning, Song An was already shaking like a sieve, and Jing Yu himself suddenly turned pale. He knew very well that Princess Cheng left the capital, and the royal father knew it. The reason he made this today was to give the royal father an excuse not to reward the king, and to suppress Jing Shao's arrogance, but now it seems, The father was planning to protect Jing Shao to the end.

"Princess Cheng, Mu Hanzhang, is ranked in the 17th middle class. She is very intelligent. I have specially ordered to assist King Cheng." Four months to pacify the two vassals, it should be recorded as the first merit of the princess, and it is planned to be named a marquis.

If a man marries into the royal family, he is equivalent to half of the descendants of the royal family, and he can be awarded a title for meritorious deeds. However, since the founding of the country, very few of the descendants of the royal family have married male wives. Law to forget.

Here in the courtroom, the wind is surging, and the atmosphere in Beiweihou's mansion is even more strange.

Mu Hanzhang got off the carriage and walked into the house, only to feel that the house was very quiet, and even the servants in the front yard took their breath away and walked quickly, very nervous. He couldn't help frowning, and asked Steward Wang, who came to lead the way in person: "What's going on in the mansion?"

Butler Wang is the chief steward of the front yard, why is he the only one here to greet him, where have the rest of the servants gone

Butler Wang looked left and right, and whispered, "Don't hide the princess, the eldest young master has been seriously ill and has been bedridden, and the lady is in a bad mood."

Mu Hanzhang knew that Mrs. Beiweihou must be very irritable now, and the servants were afraid of becoming a punching bag, and everyone was afraid of being picked wrong, so he raised his hand and gave the housekeeper a jade Buddha: "This time I went out to bring a gift for Uncle Wang. ."

"Master, how did this happen?" Butler Wang immediately smiled and took it with both hands.

Mu Hanzhang hooked his lips and continued to walk towards the backyard without saying much. At this time, the Beiweihou had not yet come to court, so he should go to see his mother-in-law first.

"Young master, go this way." Butler Wang pointed, raising his hand and leading him to the study of the Duke of Northern Wei.

"Father didn't go to court?" Mu Hanzhang frowned, and when he saw Bei Weihou who was reading a book in his study, he couldn't help but shudder. Today, when Jing Shao returns to the court, it is a good time to present the award. My father actually said that he was sick at home! Could it be... Thinking about it like this, I can't help but start worrying about Jing Shao.

Hou Mujin of Northern Wei Dynasty was very happy to see his son returning, and after chatting with him for a while, Mu Hanzhang gave a sword to his father.

"Is this Hua Feng?" Bei Weihou looked at the sharp sword in his hand and was very excited, holding it to compare it with the picture of the famous weapon on the wall.

"My son is not good, but the prince said so." Mu Hanzhang said warmly.

"Okay, okay!" Mu Jin watched the sword with joy for a long time, looked up, and saw Mu Hanzhang bowing his head and narrowing his eyes, standing beside him obediently, but the bearing around him was more noble than before going out Introverted, he couldn't help sighing heavily.

"What's your father's trouble?" Mu Hanzhang refilled his father a cup of tea.

Bei Weihou accepted it with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sighed again: "The family has been restless recently, you can go see your mother and come over and have a drink with me at noon."

Mu Hanzhang complied. Having said that, he still had to see his eldest mother first. Mrs. Beiwei Hou looked a lot haggard, but she still insisted on talking to him, but her eyes were very wrong, with precaution and resentment!

Unwilling to stay in the mother's courtyard, Mu Hanzhang said a few words, put down the gift and went to his mother's courtyard.

Qiu's family is now carried into a side room, and there are two girls, Yancui and Qiulan, who are very happy to see the second young master coming.

"Where's your mother?" Mu Hanzhang frowned, and the worry in his heart couldn't help but grow stronger.

"Mrs. Side is a little uncomfortable," Qiu Lan said. Seeing Mu Hanzhang's serious face, she hurriedly added, "It's not too serious. Young master, let's go in and have a look."

In winter, the doors and windows of the house are closed, and coals are burning in the copper furnace, which is very warm. There was a warm-colored tent hanging on the bed. Mrs. Qiu was leaning against the head of the bed and embroidered a purse. The candlelight reflected on her charming face, which was very peaceful and beautiful.

When Mu Hanzhang saw such a mother, his heart gradually fell back: "Mother."

Qiu looked up, only to see her son who had already walked to the bed, she couldn't help but startled, then she smiled in surprise: "Hanzhang, you're back! Come and let my mother take a look."

Sitting down in front of the bed, holding his mother's hand, the hand was warm and soft, glowing with a healthy sheen, Mu Hanzhang was relieved: "Why are you uncomfortable? Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Now, I can only look for an imperial physician, but there are only a few imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and the palace is still too busy with matters, so if it is not an emergency, the imperial physician cannot be invited immediately.

Qiu shi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and murmured, "I've seen it, it's not a big deal."

"Mother!" Seeing her hesitation, Mu Hanzhang couldn't help but get nervous again, "What the hell is going on?"

Qiu shi lowered her eyes, but didn't answer, and instead asked, "On the battlefield, swords and swords have no eyes. My heart is always on my mind. I'm afraid that you have something good or bad, so let my mother see if you are injured?"

"I'm going to ask an imperial doctor." Seeing that his mother refused to speak, Mu Hanzhang got up and was about to go out, but was grabbed.

"Oh, why did you tell King Cheng that wind is rain?" Mrs. Qiu dragged him and said angrily, but her face was a little red, "I haven't seen the imperial doctor yet, but I know what's going on."

Mu Hanzhang frowned, sat back again, quietly watched his mother for a long time, and suddenly understood: "Mother, do I... have a younger brother or sister?"

Qiu's face couldn't help but turn even redder. Now that he is old, he is really embarrassed to tell his son: "I am guessing like this, I am not sure yet. Don't tell the outside world, no one knows yet."

"It's a good thing," Mu Hanzhang's expression on his face gradually stretched, and his heart was filled with joy, which proved that his mother had lived a good time and her health was good, so she could conceive again at this age, and suddenly remembered what Butler Wang said. , calmed down, and slowly restrained his smile, "Fuzhong seems to be uneasy these days, so don't make any noise in advance. I will find a familiar imperial doctor tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mrs Qiu couldn't help showing a cold look on her face, and whispered, "I was worried about this, so I didn't dare to ask an imperial doctor."
