Chapter 213

Six days later, the anti-insurgency army led by Jiang Min rushed all the way and arrived in Qingcheng County. Three days later, the first [-]-mile memorial arrived in the capital.The first battle was won, and Yanghu County, which was occupied by the rebels, was recovered.

In addition to the good news, the report also reported the current situation of Qingcheng County to Su Zhen. Compared with the letter sent by the county lieutenant, the situation is actually much more serious.Firstly, what the county lieutenant reported was only Tengshi County where he was located, and secondly, many days have passed, and the rebel team has grown stronger than before, and 28 counties in Qingcheng County have been occupied by [-] counties. as much.

Su Zhen reported mixed joy and sorrow with this memorial.Although the army was successful, the rebellion of bandits had obviously become a large scale, and Jiang Min could easily go to war, but the disparity in the strength of the troops was too great, and there was always a worry that a clever woman would be hard-pressed.The counties and counties around Qingcheng County also have garrisons, but he is not at ease to use them right now, fearing that the lack of control will increase internal friction.After thinking about it, he summoned the Minister of the Ministry of War, and after some discussion, he dispatched [-] troops from the Gyeonggi Camp to Qingcheng County.

Apart from the matter of Qingcheng County, Su Zhen was still busy with the court's struggle for power.When Jiang Xiyuan left Beijing, apart from the evidence he had collected, he also left a list of young officials from various ministries, each of whom had an overview of their relations with China, which was simple but in place.

Su Zhen deliberated about his promotion and call, and ordered his people to continue searching for the evidence of those old officials in private, so that once the blow was hit, they would never turn around again.

Holding the thin booklet left by Jiang Xiyuan, Su Zhen would occasionally have some unspeakable emotions.He didn't know what Jiang Xiyuan was thinking.That person has never been normal about feelings, maybe Xia Chu has already let go.But if it is said that he let go, how can he explain Jiang Xiyuan's angry words before he left?
It seems to be refuting his sentence 'I won't let you fight, even if you want to fight'.But no matter whether he let go or not, he still has a grudge against himself, Su Zhen thought.

He was not afraid that Jiang Xiyuan would have a dissatisfaction with him, the Jiang family had long been tied to him, and now that they were relatives of the state, they had no choice but to rely on the imperial power.But in fact, this is not the balance he wants, at least for Jiang Xiyuan, at least for the past, he has always wanted to treat him sincerely.Now Jiang Xiyuan's minister is willing to help, but with a knot like Xia Chu in the middle, it may be difficult to go back to the past.

Ever since Jiang Xiyuan concealed Xia Chu's true identity from him, or even earlier, Jiang Xiyuan knew the distinction between monarch and minister, and Su Zhen really let go when he arrived at Jiantian Pavilion, and really told him and himself , Junjunchenchen.

Sometimes Su Zhen wondered whether people possess power, or power kidnaps people.With power in hand, the next step must be greed, because what you want can be obtained very easily, and that is a temptation that no one can resist.

But ask yourself, is he greedy?What he covets greedily, and what he fights for freely, is nothing more than his own heart.

The Longevity Day has gradually progressed.It's not the year of the whole life, and it is the current situation, Su Zhen has no intention of doing anything.But after all, this is his first Longevity Day since he took the throne, and the Ministry of Rites has reduced and reduced, but still came up with a plan.The Ministry of Finance drafted an edict of amnesty, and the Ministry of Household Affairs submitted a list of draft picks, but the best thing was a letter of success from Qingcheng County, which made Su Zhen feel much more at ease.

For the Longevity Day, Yongwei became busy, and the inner court also became busy.The assessment for picking women into the palace has been advanced, so that people can be sent to various palaces earlier to add labor.So in the early summer, after participating in the 'military training', the entrance examination began.

In modern times, although Xia Chu could not be called a top student, he was not a scumbag, but at this time, he could only be described as broken.She is not good at poetry, let alone calligraphy and painting, she can't cook at all, and let alone handicrafts. Although a stroke of calligraphy has made great progress with hard work, it is still far from "beautiful".It is not bad to memorize the palace rules.

Seeing Xia Chu's incompetence in various technologies, the Supreme Palace was relieved.Fortunately, fortunately, there was an imperial decree to arrange the duties, otherwise such a thing should be kicked out of the palace.

Jiang Shangyi looked at Chu Xia's poor grades, seeing that the most noble palace did not blink and still served as an attendant to the imperial study, she couldn't believe what she saw.In her hand, she held the relationship benefits from several picking girls, and she wanted to send them to the imperial study room. She was also hoping to cultivate more eyeliner in front of the imperial court, so that she could do things better in the future. seats.

"Lord Shang Gong, this is too much of a joke!" Jiang Shangyi couldn't help but said.

"Really?" The Supreme Palace gently blew on the ink on the report, and put it aside, "I can make my own judgment, Jiang Shangyi is not in my position, so stop worrying about me. She put the report aside, "I'm so tired."

Su Zhen's imperial decree was sent to the Supreme Palace by An Liang, asking her to take good care of Xia Chu, and also told her not to make any noise about it.Of course the Supreme Palace was happy, and after thinking about it for a while, it was directly arranged with Jiang Shangyi.

Could she not know what Jiang Shangyi was planning at this time?Back then, after she became the most noble palace, she thought of her past friendship and gave her this untroubled and luscious Shangyi palace. Unexpectedly, this person made a lot of money, but he didn't think of her kindness. You must be jealous that you are her boss, and your words have always been disrespectful.

After so many years, the friendship has worn out prematurely, and it is time to teach some lessons.

Jiang Shangyi's face turned red when she was choked by the words of the most noble palace. She looked at the several Shanggongs who were secretly laughing beside her, and couldn't swallow her breath. In terms of position, I can't be Lord Shang Gong's master, but if something goes wrong in the future, and which master is annoyed, Lord Shang Gong will not let me take your responsibility."

The most noble palace glanced at her, chuckled, and shook his head.He picked up the assessment results of the other female pickers, left Jiang Shangyi aside, and turned to talk to Tao Shanggong.

The report from the inner court was delivered to Yong Wei, and Yong Wei made some adjustments and sent it to the Supreme Palace.When I was looking for leisure, I found Xia Chu and told her about the arrangement of the inner court.

"The servants in front of the imperial court are close to the emperor, and even the palaces should respect them a little bit. You are the court servant, and there are people who order you below, so you won't be too tired. You are the one recommended by your brother, and Mr. An Easy going, don't worry."

Xia Chu didn't nod or shake his head, and secretly said to Yong Wei: I'm not worried about these things, but you are the most worried thing right now.

It's not that Xia Chu doesn't want to go to the Imperial Study Room, after all, she is closer to Su Zhen, so she has more chances to talk.But she was also worried that after getting close like this, she would not be able to help hesitating again, and she would not be able to say what she should say, and she was even more afraid that she would fall headlong into Su Zhen's tenderness again.

She knew what she meant to Su Zhen, but they couldn't go back to the clarity and purity of the past.It started when he was getting married, when he was no longer Mr. Huang, and when he was the emperor.Little by little, until she really faced Yong Wei, she realized that she could no longer give him the same affection as before.

Before meeting Yongwei, the queen was just a symbol, a being without perception, just knowing.But seeing it was another matter entirely.

Yong Wei was too kind, and she was too kind to her, the better she was, the heavier her heart was.For Su Zhen, she has feelings and can't bear it. She can't bear to hurt him, but she can't hurt the girl in front of her.

In such a position, Su Zhen had his helplessness and his last resort. She understood that she understood her distress, but she couldn't accept it, accepted that she was one of the many women in the whole palace, and accepted the thousands of miles separated by her company. country.When she faced Su Zhen, she couldn't bear it so much, but after thinking about it carefully, not being able to bear it was not a kind of deception, a kind of harm.

Just wait for this messy situation to pass, and chop off the mess with a knife. It's a painful deal with a hammer, and it's better than carrying it for a long time.

Xia Chu shook Yong Wei's hand like Yong Wei held her hand, and smiled at her.

After the girls were assigned, they began to go to various palaces one after another to start their duties. Even though Jiang Shangyi felt unwilling, she had no other choice but to let Xia Chu go to the imperial study, but secretly kept an eye on her. It's the beginning of summer.

Jiang Shangyi hoped that there would be some mistakes in early Xia, and even more hoped that she would seduce the emperor because of something wrong, so that she could sell the news to Fengyi Palace.One is to let her lean closer to the big tree behind her, and the other is to push the matter to the head of the most noble palace. With the help of Fengyi Palace to get rid of her, the position of the most noble palace is in the bag thing.

At the beginning of Xia, she went to the Imperial Study to start work, and she didn't know what to do. She was a clerk, and no one assigned her a job. Instead, a group of good envoys and regular servants were waiting for her to arrange.When he was at a loss, An Liang came and arranged the things that should be arranged with ease. After everyone dispersed, he turned his head and smiled at Xia Chu: "It will be good if Xia Dian is here."

Xia Chu blessed him, and smiled dryly, "Eunuch An, what's so good about my coming, I don't know anything, and I haven't learned well."

"Hey, Xia Dianshi and Xiaoliang don't say that." An Liang joked, "Just listening to you talk, the emperor can feel at ease, right?" After finishing speaking, he picked up the small tea tray from the table next to him Handed it to Chu Xia, "The medicine is just warmed up, servant Xia Dian, please send it over. The emperor just asked me when you will come over."

Xia Chu lowered his head and glanced, "Is the emperor sick?"

An Liang sighed, and said droopingly: "There are a lot of things in court, the emperor is so tired that he caught wind and fever, and he is coughing these days. I can't bear it anymore." He pointed to the black eyes under his eyes. Eye circles, "I'm just a little tired, the emperor is still worried."

"Servant Xia Dian, hurry up." An Liang led her to the door, opened the curtain and tilted her head, "The Emperor is waiting for you."

Xia Chu felt a little uncomfortable, as if blocked by something, he hesitated for a while, and then took a deep breath and took the medicine into the imperial study.

This is the first time she entered the imperial study, she only felt that it was tall and spacious, but not as gorgeous as she had imagined.The incense was burned in the temple, which she often smelled on Su Zhen, it was faint in the past, but now it was much stronger.It was his smell that came over his face, making Xia Chu a little dazed.

Before she could speak, Su Zhen turned his head.At the beginning, he frowned lightly, but when he saw her, his eyes lit up with undisguised joy.

Xia Chu looked at him, thinking about what she wanted to say to him, her heart ached.Want to cry, stare for a moment but can only smile.
