Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 310

The previous dynasty was so busy due to the war that Pei Yao naturally couldn't spare time to come to the harem.

The queen has always been aware of the overall situation, and she spoke sternly when greeting her in the morning.

If someone in the harem caused an incident because of jealousy and distracted the emperor, they would be punished severely and there would be no room for intercession.

The maids and eunuchs up and down the palace also gave instructions not to gossip or discuss state affairs.

The concubines all knew the Queen's temperament and were naturally obedient, but the servants below were not so easy to control.

There were a lot of people talking, and there were always a few who felt that they couldn't do it in front of the queen, so they said some unpleasant things.

For example, the emperor's foundation is still shallow, it is not suitable to go to war, or he is afraid that the failure of the first battle will damage the morale of our army.

As for this kind of person, the queen really did what she said and never let her go.

A dozen bad-mouthed models were caught in a row, and the two most rampant among them were directly beaten to death, and the rest were also severely punished.

For a time, the entire imperial city was well-behaved, and no one dared to make a mistake.

Fang Yun admired the queen from the bottom of his heart.

In her opinion, no one is more suitable to sit on the phoenix chair than the current queen.

The Lu family's tutor is indeed excellent.

Of course, apart from admiring the empress, the more important thing is to close the palace door and live a small life of her own.

He is in poor health, his son is sick and he needs to be raised carefully, and his daughter is also delicate. Fang Yun will not allow anyone to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

The new battle report came five days later.

The first battle cannot be said to be a great victory, but only a tie.

Huo Mingyi led the army to fight, and the battle with the enemy general was hard to distinguish.

Because it was the first battle, both sides were unwilling to lose the wind, so no one was willing to give in, even if they took their lives, they wanted to give their own side a good head start.

In the end, Huo Mingyi seriously injured the enemy leader, and he himself had his left arm cut off.

The two sides withdrew their troops together.

Although it was not a great victory, as long as this first battle was not lost, it would greatly boost the morale of the army.

So after seeing the military report, Pei Yao felt relieved, and immediately sent someone to send an imperial decree to reward Huo Mingyi and the soldiers of the Huo family army.

The monarch and his ministers were united, and for a while, it caused a strong fighting spirit in the court.

Fang Yun looked at the hazy spring outside the window, faintly showing signs of thriving, thought for a while, and asked Qing Rong to spread out the drawing paper.

The next day, Yuan He sent the framed painting to Jingqian Palace.

When Pei Yao came back, he was waiting at the door.

"Are you from Yuzhang Palace? What are you doing here?"

She often goes to see Fang Yun, so Pei Yao basically knows everyone around her.

Yuan He hurried forward, "If you go back to the emperor, the servant is here to deliver things for the concubine Zhao. The empress made a painting and presented it to the emperor. She said that she is a small skill, just to make the emperor smile."

While talking, he held up the brocade box in his hand.

Looking at the things in his hand, thinking of Fang Yun's usual eccentric style, a smile appeared on Pei Yao's lips.

"Concubine Zhao always has such ingenious ideas." Pei Yao took it personally, and finally said, "Go back and tell Concubine Zhao that I will visit her when I have time."

Yuan He nodded hurriedly, bowed politely, and then left.

After entering the hall, Hong Zheng went to get the regular clothes for him to change into. The dragon robes from the previous court were heavy and tired.

While waiting, Pei Yao opened the brocade box, took out the scroll and spread it out.

The first thing that catches the eye is a young man riding a horse and whipping his whip. Standing on a high hill, he is high-spirited. Although it is just a profile and there are only a few strokes, it can be roughly seen that the person painted is Pei Yao.

The direction in which the young man rode his horse was filled with darkness, the army waiting in full battle, millions of soldiers, swallowing mountains and rivers, and behind him were fertile farmhouses, city streets, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In the lower left corner, there is a small poem inscribed, which reads: A young general with lofty ambitions, gallops across the country with a sword like frost, fights on the battlefield fearlessly, and sweeps the enemy and our borders.After silently reading this little poem in his heart, the smile in Pei Yao's eyes was slightly visible.

Although the words were compliments, they did not sound like flattery, but were more encouraging.

"Hong Zheng." Pei Yao called out in a low voice.

"The servant is here." Hong Zheng hurried over, "What is the emperor's order?"

Pei Yao pointed to the poem on the painting, "Copy this poem and send it to the Beijiang military camp to General Huo Mingyi."

Qin Guogong's three sons, the eldest Huo Mingxu is good at defending the city, the second Huo Mingyi is good at attacking, and the third Huo Mingxuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

In this first battle, Huo Mingyi lost his left arm and boosted Daqi's morale. He deserves a lot of praise. This poem can be regarded as his borrowing flowers to present Buddha to inspire the army.

Hong Zheng nodded in response, and went to do it immediately.

I said in my heart that Concubine Zhao is good at handling things, and I don't know how many waves it will cause when this poem is sent out.

Yuzhang Palace.

Fang Yun was embroidering when he suddenly sneezed.

Qingrong hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and teased again, "Yuan He just went to deliver the paintings, and the empress sneezed, probably because the emperor misses the empress."

"Poor girl!" Fang Yun poked her with a smile, "I think it's better not to catch the wind and cold, go and close the window, sitting by the window, it is indeed a bit windy."

Qing Rong nodded and went immediately.

While talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Then I saw Song Meiren come in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, my concubine pays her respects."

"Excuse me." Fang Yun waved his hand, "Sit down, what's the matter?"

Song Meiren frowned slightly, with a worried look, she pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Fang Yun signaled Qingrong to let all the idlers back out, leaving only a few confidants in the house to wait on them.

"What's the matter, just speak up if you have anything to say." Fang Yun said.

Song Meiren sighed, "Your Majesty, I don't know, the younger brother of the concubine sent word to the palace, told the concubine that he wanted to join the army, and said that Mr. Liu also had this intention. You don't know what you think about these children. Now I haven’t even passed the exams yet, so I’m just saying that I’m going to join the army, and the concubine is really afraid that they’ll be on the edge of their horns, so I come to my empress to ask, has Mr. Liu sent a letter to enter the palace?”

"Throw a pen and join the army?"

After listening to Song Meiren's words, Fang Yun also frowned.

Turn to look at Qingrong.

The latter understood, and immediately shook his head, "Mr. Liu has not received any news recently."

Hearing this, Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and looked a little serious.

Now that war is raging, young people, especially young scholars, always want to serve the country with blood and fight for the people just like in the book. It is normal to have such thoughts.

But their bones, that is, they can ride a horse, they have never even touched a sword, so they are talking about throwing pens and serving in the army.

It's not like anyone can become a military advisor just by going to a military camp. He doesn't even start as a soldier.

I'm afraid that he will lose his head on the battlefield before he can offer advice in front of the coach.

Fang Yun guessed that Liu Qin was a calm person and probably thought of this, so he didn't dare to send a message to him immediately.

But Song Meiren's younger brother was raised in an official's family since he was a child, and he is more idealistic than Liu Qin, who came from a difficult background, so he first passed the word to the palace and asked his sister what she meant.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do? I think this can't make them mess around!" Song Meiren was a little anxious.

I was really afraid that my brother would ignore me and join the army.

Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, isn't it when he is stupefied and bumping around?

Fang Yun comforted, "Don't worry, wait until I ask my brother, this matter is really not trivial."
