Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

Chapter 18 Yifang Folds the Lotus (1)
On the first day of July, Zhang Zhiyan sent troops to surprise the military town of Ezhou (now Wuhan). The defender Xu Zheng had just retreated to Hezhou, an important border town between Dali and Dayuan. Dali had secretly sent a hundred war elephants to the border guards of the Yuan Dynasty.Legend has it that Taizu was not surprised at all when he received the news of these war elephants. Instead, he smiled and immediately ordered Xu Zheng, the second-rank Ruiwu General of Shangzhu Kingdom, who was originally appointed to serve in the German army, to take over these war elephants and counterattack Zhang Zhi. Yan, took back Ezhou in one day and one night, and the world was in an uproar.

Taizu also secretly believed in the original order, and ordered Xu Zheng to send the 85 war elephants that survived in Ezhou back to Dali as soon as possible, and not keep any of them.Xu Zheng's lieutenant secretly kept an elephant in order to flatter Xu Zheng's young son. As a result, three days later, this war elephant was dissatisfied with being a toy for children, and kicked Xu Zheng's young son with three ribs broken. It is said that Shan Ye ran back to Dali secretly.For this matter, Xu Zheng was demoted three grades in a row and fined his salary for one year. Within three days, he changed from a suspicious deserter to Yuanmou Xunxiao, and then inexplicably became the object of impeachment by the court, and then became the laughing stock of the court officials. All of them can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, after the joke, the reason behind this incident was revealed by Xu Zheng, coupled with Zhang Zhiyan's hype behind, deliberately mentioned the nepotism of Mrs. Helping her husband or something would seriously hurt Yuan Jun's myth of might.Because Xu Zheng belonged to the Fengde Army, he was stationed in Chuzhou instead to contain Zhang Zhiyan. The original Fengding on the Xuzhou front was forced to return to Chang'an to report on his duties.

It’s another year’s Qixi Festival, when Fengding returns to the court to report on his duties, it’s also lively, Yao Ji and Zhuzhu’s faces are full of joy, but because the battle in Youzhou has reached a critical point, everyone in the court has no intention of Qixi Festival.Qixi Festival is also a festival of longing, and everyone in the palace knows that the emperor must miss Empress Xiaoxian and Chunyi on this day.Sure enough, on the day of Qixi Festival, Sheng Rong was indifferent, and simply invited members of the royal family, and held a family banquet hastily. The pair of phoenix eyes during the banquet were also depressed, and they had no intention of feasting, let alone such colorful festivals as folks.The crowd didn't dare to talk too much. After the emperor bestowed the object, the moon disappeared as soon as it reached the sky.

When I went back to Xifengyuan, Weiwei and the new recruit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs helped me change my clothes. Wei Xiaoyu held the princess dress I had changed, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with a pout: "In the past After the Qixi Festival, it was Mr. who took us on a night tour of the Qinhuai River. It was so beautiful, but I didn’t want to go to bed early this Qixi Festival.”

Weiwei, whose appearance has almost recovered, also came over to make fun of her: "Oh, yes, last year I accompanied Prince Zhen and Princess Concubine to the wedding banquet of the previous dynasty. That scene..."

You may recall that last year, when King Xuan was prominent, the little girl sighed like an adult, holding a red gold spider holding a ganoderma hairpin on her chest in her right hand, looking at the bright starry sky outside the window, her eyes flickered, " The twilight scene of mulberry and elm is gone."

Well, it looks like the little girl has fully recovered from the physical and psychological trauma she suffered during the June Snow Incident.

Yanhua couldn't help but laugh, and the flower tinsel on the corner jumped happily a few times, but when she saw me looking at her in the mirror, she immediately put away her smile, and professionally and quickly tidied up my jewelry up.
