The Duke of Beiwei made everything clear, and left with his sleeves turned to go to Mrs. Qiu's side. Today, he heard that Mrs. Qiu was pregnant, but he hasn't seen it yet. This is an old man. If the child can be born safely, he can show off in front of Dingnan Hou's group. Thinking of this, Mu Jin's dull mood suddenly became better.
Mrs. Beiweihou sat in the house all night, thinking about everything from beginning to end.
First of all, Mu Hanzhang was very favored in front of King Cheng, and he made military exploits. The emperor, Jinkou Yuyan, had promised to give him the title of marquis.
Secondly, if Mu Hanzhang had the title of Hou, even if Mu Lingbao died, it would not be his turn to inherit.
However, Mrs. Yongchang made such a fuss, if the emperor did not give him another title, and took advantage of the news that the prince of Beiwei had become a cripple, and gave the title directly to Mu Hanzhang, then she would lose everything.
Therefore, the top priority is to allow him to have a marquis position, so that he will not come to grab her grandson's position. What a cheap bastard!
After making up her mind, Mrs. Beiwei Hou lay down and rested for two hours. She got up early the next morning to dress up and handed the sign to the palace.
The morning court on this day was a bit long, because the emperor wanted to call the eldest prince back, so that he would not be embarrassed in front of Nanman. The officials of Jing Yu's faction naturally agreed. Now that the King of Cheng has returned, the eldest prince is still working in Yunnan and Tibet, and he has not been able to get a bit of military power for his unfortunate efforts. Why don't he come back quickly, and the fourth prince can also have a helper.
"The terrain of Yunnan and Tibet is complicated, and the first prince has never brought troops before, so it is normal for it to take a while." Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War came out. No matter how you can win, it is estimated that there will be no one person who can destroy two vassals in four months like Chengwang. This sounded to help the eldest prince to excuse himself, but in fact he was praising Jing Shao.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not a one-time effort to pacify the chaos. If you give the eldest prince a few more days, maybe it will be effective." Another official echoed.
Jing Shao knew that these were his elder brother's people, and their purpose was to prevent the eldest prince from returning to the dynasty. Jing Rong and Jing Yu were singled out to do things that would be more beneficial. When the prince returned to the dynasty, Ping Nanman's drudgery had to fall on him.
"Jing Shao, what do you think?" Emperor Hongzheng looked at Jing Shao, who bowed his head and said nothing. It is now a habit to ask Jing Shao's opinion about the war.
"The battle cannot be achieved overnight. The southern barbarians are cunning, and the terrain in Yunnan and Tibet is dangerous. It takes a long time to get the mystery," Jing Shao bowed. The days are still short, and the results cannot be seen, so it is better to give the emperor some more time."
Emperor Hongzheng looked at him with deep eyes: "If you are allowed to go, how long will it take to destroy Nanman."
Jing Shao was stunned in his heart, and he thought about his words and said: "This time, it is really luck that Erchen suppressed the rebellion of the two vassals. The eldest brother followed General Zhengdong. Even if Erchen went, it would not be better than them."
When Emperor Hongzheng heard the words, he nodded slightly, believing what Jing Shao said. After all, Jing Shao had already admitted to him clearly that Dongnan was not destroyed by him at all, but that King Dongnan was unlucky, and he was killed by his concubine. Although he knew that this was because he was lazy and didn't want to go to war, fortunately, he always defended his brother and didn't mean to slander him at all, which was very satisfying to Emperor Hongzheng.
So, the matter of the eldest prince's return to the dynasty was dragged down again. The fourth prince's face was a little unsightly. Jingchen was still the same as before when Mount Tai collapsed. I exchanged a look with Jing Shao and took it. Several titles of titles proposed by the Ministry of Rites went to the imperial study.
Jing Shao left the morning court and walked to the side door, where he happened to meet Xiao Qian, the commander of the guards.
"My lord, there is news." Xiao Qian dragged Jing Shao to hide in the small door.
Jing Shao gave him a little golden turtle: "How do you say it?"
"Hey, Mrs. Beiwei Hou entered the palace early in the morning," Xiao Qian stuffed the golden turtle into his clothes and whispered, "That lady is really amazing, I asked the little eunuch of Yongning Palace to ask, Mrs. Yongchang Uncle I almost died of anger."
But it turned out that Mrs. Yongchang uncle cried again in front of Yongning Palace after breakfast, repeatedly saying that Yongchang uncle was loyal and good from generation to generation, but now he has fallen to the point of being bullied by others, and followed Taizu to fight the world to death. However, the boy wanted to make a marquis, so that the family of the prince could not bear it.
Mrs. Beiwei Hou went and cried without saying a word, which was more painful than Mrs. Yongchang Uncle. It is said that the son of the Duke of Maoguo pushed the prince of Beiwei Hou Shizi into the water for three or nine days, and is still ill. One of the two nephews is bedridden, and the other has frozen feet. The Duke of Northern Wei has been loyal and good for generations, but the title is slightly lower than others, and it has fallen to the point of being bullied by others. Back then, he followed Taizu to fight the world from birth to death, but now he was almost cut off his sons and grandsons.
Mrs. Yongchang was stunned by what she said, and she always felt that what she said was so familiar, but now that Duke Mao and her family are in the same group, they naturally wanted to help with a few words, so she asked her why she thought it was Mao made by the state.
Mrs. Beiwei Hou ignored her and just cried, saying that the empress had promised to give her daughter a good marriage, and she was about to become an old girl, and the marriage was not yet settled. He also said that the grandson of Uncle Yongchang's family broke her herbal medicine last time, but she spent three years raising it with her own hands to treat her mother-in-law. Uncle Yongchang never even said an apology.
When Mrs. Yongchang heard this, she almost lost her breath. Her grandson had cut off a few honeysuckle branches in the Beiweihou mansion last time. Could it be that the Beiweihou mansion still lacked a few cents of the gunpowder
When Jing Shao heard this, he pressed his fist to his lips, and couldn't help but let out a smirk.
Xiao Qian couldn't stop laughing when he said: "The Yongning Palace is very lively today, and several of the empresses who went to pay their respects also saw it, and they all hurriedly retire with laughter."
"What did the queen mother say?" Jing Shao said in his heart that this Mrs. Beiwei Hou is really powerful. All kinds of shit pots are deducted from those two families. The son of Maoguo Gong's family and Mu Lingbao did have a holiday, and he was still there in the summer. Yiweilou saw the two fighting, but this incident of falling into the water had nothing to do with the Maoguo family.
"The queen mother was so annoyed by the noise that she drove both ladies out of the palace in a fit of anger. She said she would not care about these matters." Xiao Qian said with a smile. With such a commotion, the two ladies were even out in the capital. name.
Jing Shao smiled and thanked Xiao Qian for his help. He rode Xiao Hei and ran home. He had to tell his princess about it quickly.
"Your Highness!" Sun Shangshu was sitting in a sedan chair, and when he saw Jing Shao riding past the window, he hurriedly called out.
"咴~" Xiao Hei immediately stopped his steps, raised his horse's hoofs with manpower, and walked back in three or two steps.
"What's wrong?" Jing Shao frowned. He was anxious to go back to have breakfast with his princess. Jun Qing said that he would make fried vegetable balls for him personally today!
"Today, some matters in the Ministry of War must be decided by the lord, and you must go there." Sun Shangshu said helplessly, this ancestor was lazy for three days and two times before, but now that he has returned from the battle, he has not been to the Ministry of War once.
"Understood." Jing Shao waved his hand. Today, my brother has already explained to him. Recently, he is going to find an excuse to pull Song An's old man down. It is estimated that Sun Shangshu wants to discuss this matter with him.
"Junqing, I'm back!" Jing Shao shouted excitedly as soon as he entered Dongyuan.
Mu Hanzhang quickly smeared the medicine on his hand, turned around and went out.
"Where's the vegetable balls?" Jing Shao excitedly took his princess into his arms. He was still smelling the food, which was very delicious. He couldn't help sniffing between his white necks.
Mu Hanzhang was itchy, pushed him away gently and pointed to the plate on the table.
There are several plates of delicate dishes on the table, all of which are served in white porcelain dishes. Only a wooden plate is placed in the middle, which is full of fried golden vegetable balls. There is also a small celadon bowl next to it, which is the prepared garlic paste. dipping sauce.
Before Jing Shao could sit down, he took one of his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it in one bite. Crispy and delicious, very delicious, people couldn't help but want to eat more, so I ate another one and said vaguely: "Junqing, you are so amazing, you can make it so delicious without cooking!"
Mu Hanzhang reluctantly pulled him to sit down and served him a bowl of porridge. In the morning, Jing Shao Lai refused to get up and insisted on making out with him. In the end, he couldn't, so he had to tell him to cook meatballs before coaxing people out of the house.
"It's not what I did. The cook did everything, I just squeezed them into balls and fried them." Mu Hanzhang put his left hand on his lap and only used his right to eat.
"It's already amazing!" Jing Shao added a ball to the people around him.
Mu Hanzhang couldn't refuse, so he had to open his mouth to bite half, before he could bite the other half, the chopsticks had already turned a corner and filled Jing Shao's mouth. Seeing that he was eating so naturally, Mu Hanzhang couldn't say anything, so he pursed his lips and drank the porridge slowly.
Jing Shao brought some dishes for his princess, and he always felt that something was wrong. After eating the last ball, he remembered that Jun Qing's left hand had been placed underneath! Because his etiquette has always been in place, he still moves gracefully and smoothly without one hand, which was discovered by Jing Shao, and before he could speak, he grabbed the hand under the table.
"Hiss..." Mu Hanzhang took a deep breath, it was too late to break free, two translucent blisters appeared in front of Jing Shao on his shiny little finger.
"Junqing..." Jing Shao frowned, feeling extremely distressed, and the joy of eating vegetable balls vanished.
"It's fine, it'll be fine in two days." Mu Hanzhang sighed, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, he has basically never been in the kitchen since he was a child, and it seems very simple to watch the cook. Clumsy.
"Don't go to the kitchen in the future." Jing Shao asked someone to fetch some crushed ice, wrapped it in silk cloth, and carefully applied it to the blisters.
The cold touch relieved the burning pain. Mu Hanzhang watched Jing Shao carefully apply the medicine and gently blow on the wound. That serious look may only appear when studying the layout. Slowly hooking her lips, she only felt warm in her heart, and it was worth it to burn two bubbles.
"Don't go out these two days, if it freezes again, you will have scars." Jing Shao held the jade-like hand and felt distressed.
"The imperial decree is here!" The two were talking when a notification sounded outside the door, and the two looked at each other. Mu Hanzhang asked Duofu to go to receive the eunuch who passed the decree first, dragged Jing Shao to change clothes quickly, and went to the front yard to listen to the decree.
"Prince Cheng Mu Hanzhang received the decree!" The eunuch who passed the decree glanced at the husband of Cheng Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, and unfolded the bright yellow scroll embroidered with five-color dragons.
