Princess Fuyao

Chapter 21 Intersection
The emperor couldn't sit still.If someone makes weapons privately, it is to plot rebellion. This is more terrifying than the invasion of the Tartars!
General Guo's injuries have healed, only his martial arts have not recovered.

The emperor sent someone to secretly take him into the palace, and asked about the situation along the way.

The emperor has found out that General Guo was followed and monitored all the way, and he had to fake death.

There are only a few people in the Yong Dynasty who have such great ability to harm General Guo, but they are the emperor's close ministers, and they are in charge of the court. There is really no reason for this guy to collude with the Tartars. General Guo can only tell what happened on the road , I said it all over again.

The emperor listened quietly, and didn't say anything during the period. Finally, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Guo Qing's family has not recovered yet, and they need to take good care of them. I still have important things to entrust to you."

General Guo thanked the emperor for his kindness, saluted and withdrew.

King Zhenbei heard the news from Beijiang that General Guo's smooth arrival in Beijing was due to the 24 young guards. When he entered the palace to face the saint, he said excitedly: "This is my emperor's love for the people." Inspired by the heavens, I specially bestowed these young heroes to protect our Great Yong Dynasty forever, with talents, the emperor will have no worries."

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, with a look of joy on his face.

"My lord, I want to ask for rewards for these teenagers, and beg them to enter the Xishan camp, continue to learn martial arts with General Huang and the others, and become royal guards to protect the peace of the dynasty in the future."

Emperor Jiaming thought for a while and shook his head lightly. He was thirty-two when he succeeded to the throne, and now it has been more than ten years. Although the crown prince has been established long ago, it is a pity that his eldest son is cowardly and gentle. Not happy, when the other sons saw this, they made some small calculations.Xishan Camp put such a group of fresh troops, it is inevitable that they will be coveted by their sons. If these people are used well, they are the fence of the country. If they are not used well, they are murderous weapons.

Since it is a sharp weapon, it is best to hold it in your own hands.

"Let them all come to the palace, and accompany Yun'er and the others to practice martial arts with Sun Liang."

Zhao Biyun, the fifth son of the emperor, is 13 years old this year, and is the eldest among the princes who have not opened a mansion or government.The minister in charge of the guards, Sun Liang, is 43 years old. He is the son of the emperor's nanny. He grew up with the emperor. He practiced martial arts with the palace guards since he was a child.

"Here, Your Majesty, 24, isn't that too much?"

"Let's do this first." Emperor Jiaming had no expression on his face, King Zhenbei didn't dare to say more, kowtowed and retreated.

There were more than a dozen aristocratic children from the capital who accompanied the prince to practice martial arts, and now more than [-] more came in at once, and the small school field in the outer courtyard of the palace suddenly gained momentum.

Sun Liang was a little unhappy at the beginning, only a few of the noble children in Beijing practiced martial arts very hard, and their kung fu was not bad.I can't say anything else.

With the passage of time, the atmosphere of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts in the court has become more and more serious. The powerful families hope that their disciples can study hard and enter the palace to practice martial arts. This is just a way for them to get close to the princes. It is said that it is impossible to take the opportunity to climb up and rise to the top.

The drunken man's intention is not to drink, but can he practice martial arts well?Sun Liang brought such a group of disciples, so he was naturally in a bad mood, and he was naturally unhappy when he heard that there were more people.

Sun Liang didn't expect that the 24 newly added people were all addicted to martial arts, and they also achieved some success in martial arts.

As a teacher, there is no one who doesn't like smart and studious students. Although they come from common people, they still win Sun Liang's favor. He is very dedicated to teaching every day.

In this small school field outside the palace, the atmosphere of martial arts training will be different immediately.

Those who practiced martial arts with Sun Liang would keep a few of them every year to serve as guards in the inner court of the imperial palace. The noble children only hoped to use this to surround the emperor.

But people are different, and among Fuyao, some people fell in love with this.There have been no wars in the frontier for many years, no matter how good their martial arts are, it is difficult for them to make contributions there, and there are too few opportunities to get ahead.

Besides, most of them are just like Fuyao, they are wearing the body of guilt. If they can make achievements here, even if they can't stay in the palace, they can stay in front of some nobleman. Pardoned?Besides, the capital is prosperous, if you can start a family and start a business here, you don't have to go to the frontier to suffer from hunger, frost, rain and snow, it is really a great fortune.

If you want to stay, high martial arts is a necessary condition. A few people, knowing that they can't compete with Guo Bin and Chen Qiangrui in martial arts, began to think of other ways.

It is a good way to find a way to curry favor with the powerful children who practice martial arts together.

Li Degui, among the 24 people from northern Xinjiang, Fuyao can't remember him the most. When he heard this name, he couldn't remember what he looked like after blinking for a long time. Such a mediocre person, when he came here, he came out quickly , caught up with Prince Zhao Bisheng.

The emperor's sixth son, Zhao Bisheng, was only 12 years old, but he was the son of Concubine Wang Ming.In the last generation of the Wang family, there was an imperial concubine, who was deeply favored by the late emperor. The head of the family, Wang Zhenlin, was therefore named King of Fortune. After his death, his son Wang Zan inherited the title.

This Wang Zan's vision is very good. After the son of the concubine's younger sister fell off the horse and died, he turned to support Emperor Jiaming, who is unknown among the princes. Because of Conglong's meritorious service, Emperor Jiaming succeeded him. A powerful minister who has considerable influence on the court.

Wang Zan sent his daughter to the palace again, and was named Concubine Ming, and gave birth to two boys and one girl for the emperor.Just judging from the number of children, the degree to which this concubine Ming is favored can be seen.

Among the princes practicing martial arts, the oldest is Zhao Biyun. His mother is the queen's cousin, but unfortunately she died of dystocia after giving birth to him.The queen still has her own sons, especially the crown prince, who is cowardly and incompetent, and has taken too much of the queen's energy, and has no time to take care of Zhao Biyun.But beating a dog depends on the owner. There is an aunt of the queen. Zhao Biyun didn't feel wronged much, but she didn't enjoy it too much.No one to provoke, no one to curry favor with, a dispensable existence.

I probably understand that my future depends on my own efforts. Zhao Biyun worked very hard no matter whether he was studying or practicing martial arts, and his grades were also very good. That's why he was highly regarded by the emperor. Among the brothers, he has his own side world.

Zhao Biyun was considered to be the prince's man, Zhao Bisheng didn't want to see him, and the two brothers only maintained a face-to-face peace with each other. To be precise, Zhao Biyun backed down everywhere and played wisely to protect himself. That's why this situation happened.There are also two princes practicing martial arts, who are relatively young and not sensible.

The aristocratic children who were training partners were naturally divided into three factions.

In Zhao Biyun's faction, after all, there are those who cling to the queen, so they naturally have a close relationship with Zhao Biyun.There are also those who work as hard as him, so they have a common language.His faction belonged to a naturally formed faction without the slightest unity.

Zhao Bisheng's faction was almost all the disciples of noble ministers, and their families were more or less related to Lord Fu.

There is also a faction that maintains neutrality and tries to maintain a moderate attitude in everything.On the surface, these people seem to be of the type who don’t care about where they go and dawdle without ideals, but in fact, they are recognized as the smartest, no matter who becomes the emperor, they have not offended them.

As soon as Li Degui took refuge with Zhao Bisheng and helped them come from northern Xinjiang, they immediately faced the danger of being divided.

Zhao Biyun not only worked hard, but also was very modest, and soon got along well with Fuyao and the others. Normally, most of the people from northern Xinjiang belonged to Zhao Biyun's faction, but the appearance of one person changed the situation all of a sudden. .

This person is Liang Mingrui.

That day, Sun Liang led his disciples to complete a set of boxing techniques and then left. Guijie's disciples also dispersed, only those from Northern Xinjiang, and most of them were still exercising martial arts with each other.Liang Mingrui appeared in the small school field.Since that martial arts contest with Guo Bin, Fuyao has never heard anyone speak ill of him, not even Lord Zhenbei.When the people from Beijiang saw him, they all saluted and greeted him.Although they have hardly met before, but in a strange place, suddenly there is a face they have seen before, and they will naturally feel a sense of intimacy, which is what adults do, let alone a group of fifteen and sixteen-year-old children like Fuyao.

Liang Mingrui was very happy: "I didn't expect to see you here!" He looked excited as if reunited after a long absence, "Excuse me, excuse me, get up quickly."

Everyone stood in a circle and talked about things in northern Xinjiang. Liang Mingrui seldom spoke, but just looked at everyone with a smile. When someone asked him, he would say that the marshal and the generals were fine, that the barracks was peaceful, and so on.

Soon a group of young people got together, and he looked up at the sky: "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys in life. On such a happy day, why don't we get together and have fun together? Let's go, I invite everyone Go to Hongyuan for dinner."

A group of people followed him noisily, but Guo Bin's face was very uncomfortable, and he hesitated a bit.In the imperial court, the Guo family and the Wang family fought fiercely, and the Zhenbei Palace was the number one general in the Wang family camp.But in private, since the martial arts competition with Liang Mingrui, the two have been a little sympathetic to each other. Immediately afterwards, he was given a horse as a gift. Although he never played together later, emotionally, he has already regarded him as a good friend.

He is now the boss of the youth team, a group of 24 people, who hasn't been taught martial arts by him?He said he was a companion, but in fact he had a relationship between a teacher and an apprentice. Seeing him like this, many people stopped hesitantly.

Liang Mingrui found out, smiled heartily, took two steps back, and took Guo Bin's hand: "Brother Guo, how is the general?"

The corner of Guo Bin's mouth twitched: "Uncle Ba is in much better health, and he is still talking about you at home." He has always been reticent, and he is not good at being polite. Everyone understands that General Guo did mention Liang Mingrui at home.

"Then you ask me, can the general allow me to visit?"

"it is good!"

The words were speculative, and the awkwardness on Guo Bin's face faded away. We were all young people, and it was easier to get along with each other. The street came to the end without knowing it, and not far from the turn was the Hongyuan Hotel.

The decoration of Hongyuan Hotel is luxurious and luxurious, and Guo Bin Fuyao can still keep his face and keep calm, but most people can’t speak for a while. The martial arts training in the palace’s martial arts arena is just a beautifully repaired paddock. No one has ever seen how exquisite and beautiful it is. The Hongyuan Hotel at this moment, in the eyes of most people, is as luxurious as a palace. Most of the group immediately tied their hands and feet nervously, and the smiles on their faces froze. .

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they ran into Prince Fu's eldest grandson Wang Pingping and the sixth prince Zhao Bisheng and his party.

When Liang Mingrui saw it, he quickly stepped forward and invited the two leading Guijie children to play together. The two looked at each other, and they both twitched the corners of their mouths lightly, as if they didn't understand. Prince, how can you get involved with such a group of filthy children.Want to recruit talents?Corporal Lixian, you don't have to condescend to such an extent, right?

Every day is either a banquet or an outing, and the dandies say no to it. They have already booked a private room, and instead invite Liang Mingrui to go there. They both know that today they can't sit together no matter what, so they are polite, each go all the way.

Liang Mingrui took Guo Bin's hand and led everyone to the backyard of Hongyuan Hotel.

Those who came from Beijiang saw a beautiful round tent, and their hearts were warmed up one by one. They looked at Liang Mingrui with even more eagerness. They felt that the son of the world was really close to him. Well prepared place to please yourself.

Inside the round tent, the stalls on the ground are clean, but not luxurious enough to make everyone feel stiff. There are 25 small tables on it.

"Come, come, sit whatever you want, hehe" Liang Mingrui greeted warmly, took Guo Bin with one hand, and Fuyao with the other, and sat down first.

Fuyao was very strange, he obviously paid attention to keeping a distance from Liang Mingrui, when the crowd was crowded, he happened to be standing next to him?Liang Mingrui clearly looked that the force was very light, but Fuyao couldn't help himself at all, and sat obediently by the painted lacquer table next to him.He didn't look around at all, but just pulled the people around him casually, as if he happened to be standing beside him, only Fuyao knew in his heart that he did it on purpose, Guo Bin was in a turbulent mood at the moment, and he didn't pay attention at all when he pulled No matter where he was, Fuyao was careless, and the two of them crowded beside him.

The waiter delivered the food and drink, and the chatting along the way brought the atmosphere to the highest point. Liang Mingrui tried to persuade everyone to drink with witty words. All the people involuntarily raised their glasses, followed Liang Mingrui's example, and greeted the surroundings. Then, they said Auspicious and enthusiastic language, raise your head, and drink it all in one gulp.

Many people choked, and half of them were drinking for the first time.

Liang Mingrui subtly lowered his head and coughed a few times, sweeping away everyone's embarrassment.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone's mood is unprecedentedly comfortable.

Drink freely, relax and talk freely.

Liang Mingrui no longer dominates everyone's emotions. He just chatted with Guo Bin in a low voice, and passed Guo Bin, and said a few words with Chen Qiangrui. Fuyao heard that most of them were about martial arts, which attracted Chen Qiangrui and Guo Bin. Marksmanship, Liang Mingrui turned his head again, smiling and talking to Fuyao.

"The Beijing movies you eat are from the capital?"

"No, Dad used to be a small military officer in the capital, and my mother brought us to live here."

"Have you seen them?"

Fuyao didn't know how to answer, the whole family was torn apart, mother and uncle were still detained.

"If you have a problem, why don't you come to me? Anyway, we are all from the Northern Xinjiang camp. How can you be so close to each other? I can't do big things, but I can handle small things."

Seeing that Fuyao was embarrassed, he smiled gently: "Have you never heard of pulling a banner to make a tiger skin? My father is that tiger skin, we pull it together."

One sentence made Fuyao laugh, and the grievances in her heart dissipated all of a sudden.

Yes, even if Liang Mingrui sends out a small steward in the family under the banner of King Zhenbei, her worried mother and uncle will be easily resolved.

In the past, she might have been reluctant to deal with Liang Mingrui because she had heard some gossip from Liang Bingwang, but now, she also wants to open up. Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu, and sons are sons, and they cannot be generalized.

Nalan Mingzhu is a corrupt official, and his son Nalan Rongruo is also a great poet through the ages. If life is just as it was first seen, I don't know how many people have been moved.Fuyao thought, as long as he sticks to his own heart, Liang Mingrui is a good person, and she will make friends with her. If he asks him to do bad things, just refuse him flatly. Let go of his heart, and the restraint just now will no longer exist.

Seeing Fuyao laughing, answering every question, and occasionally making some witty remarks, Liang Mingrui felt relieved, and felt that it was not a loss at all to prepare for a meal for so long. After a year of frustration, he finally achieved his wish.
