Chapter 148: The Overlord of the World vs. Female Zhuge Military Advisor 5
The snow in Pingjing lasted intermittently for a whole month, and it did not stop until the end of the year.
During this period, the most talked-about thing in Pingjing City was that the court had laid a solid foundation, General Lin was unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the bravest of the three armies.
When talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we have to mention the sick beauty of the Chun family.
This proud guest was born into a noble family, but unfortunately he was born with a sick body. He sought medical treatment abroad in his early years and later recuperated in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as the news spread in the palace that the Queen was going to choose a wife for the Crown Prince, the Chun family member recovered from his illness and returned to the capital.
Considering that the Empress and Madam Chun are sisters from the same mother, it is not difficult to guess that the position of Crown Princess will fall on Miss Chun's niece.
But I didn’t expect that this arrogant guest’s illness would relapse. The Queen Mother couldn’t let the Crown Prince lose his wife just after their wedding!
Prime Minister’s Residence, Fuyun Hall.
Mother Qin, who was beside Madam Chun, led people and knocked on the gate.
"Is Miss Fengyue here? Madam sent me to bring some things to the young lady."
Feng Yue brushed the snow particles off her clothes and then slowly walked into the front yard.
This Mother Qin is the most capable person around Madam Chun and holds a high status in the mansion.
Seeing Mother Qin waiting at the gate, he greeted her and said, "Mother Qin, why are you here in person?"
"Madam came to the palace today, and the Queen gave her many treasures. Madam asked me to send them to Miss."
Thinking that Mrs. Chun was worried about her, Mother Qin asked again, "Did Miss sleep well these two days?"
Feng Yue spoke in a low and cautious voice, exaggerating the severity of her master's illness: "She hasn't gotten better since returning home. She keeps coughing at night and has barely slept for half an hour."
"How can this be done!"
When Mother Qin heard this, she frowned, and seeing that the yard was deserted, she shook her head.
"Although the young lady likes quietness, how can she be at peace in such a cold and lonely situation? It is not enough for the young lady to have only you and Luzhu to do things for her."
When this was mentioned, Mother Qin walked in front and whispered, "Madam did prepare a few people for Miss, but Miss's attitude towards Madam made Madam afraid that if she sent someone here, Miss would be too suspicious."
Mother Qin could talk about the relationship between Madam and Miss, but Fengyue could not.
It’s not that she didn’t dare, but her master was pretending to be a lady in the prime minister’s mansion, and she couldn’t ruin her master’s plans.
The group entered the yard, and Fengyue signaled the little girls to put down their things.
After putting away all the things, Mother Qin asked them to leave and only spoke to Feng Yue.
"There are many people who are jealous of our wealth. You better be smart. The lady doesn't care about anything. You are her right-hand men!"
Feng Yue agreed perfunctorily: "What do you mean, Mom?"
Mother Qin whispered, "Her Majesty summoned Madam to the palace yesterday, and her words hinted that the Crown Prince's marriage will be on the agenda in the spring of next year, and it will be just around the corner for the young lady to take over the East Palace..."
The old plum tree in Fuyun Pavilion is many years old, but its branches are already strong and vigorous.
It is snowing heavily, which is a good time to appreciate plum blossoms and snow.
Above the warm room, a mahogany lounge chair covered with fox fur was rocking gently.
The beauty was dressed in plain white clothes, lying leisurely on a chair, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in her slender fingers.
The bamboo slips are old and have turned yellow, and the ink is a little blurred.
The silvery carbon in the charcoal stove beside the chair burned red, making tiny crackling sounds.
The clear sunlight of the snowy day shines into this small attic, sprinkling on the pale face of the spring-loving girl who has not yet put on any makeup.
Luzhu was tidying up the bookshelf behind her, finding all the records related to shipbuilding as instructed.
The Southern Song Dynasty had a vast maritime territory. Among all the countries, the Southern Song Dynasty had the most prosperous maritime industry and was also the best at naval warfare.
Chun Nianren slowly put down the bamboo slips and tilted his head to look outside the carved railing.
The white snow and red plum blossoms are in full bloom, but it is almost spring.
In spring, everything should be prosperous.
"The expedition to Nanrong can be near or far. What matters now is that Shangliang has been incorporated into the territory of Pingtang. The court wants to establish the Anbei Protectorate in the old Shangliang area. Who should be appointed?"
Her voice, as graceful as a startled swan, floated out from the warm room and dissipated into the wind and snow.
At night, East Palace.
On a snowy night, a palace maid held a lantern and led people through the palace, stopping outside the study.
Under the snow-covered eaves of the study, Shen Junzhou put his hands in his cloak, and fine snowflakes fell on the surface of his black cloak, sparkling and clear.
He stared ahead with his deep eyes that looked into the whole world.
There, a woman was walking through the snow, holding a paper umbrella.
She was sickly but not weak and frail. She was covered in a white snow cloak, looking cold, proud and lonely, just like a white plum blossom in the snow.
And he, the prince who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, had a look of royal dignity between his brows.
"Mr. Gongyi."
The deep voice penetrated the dense snow.
She put away her umbrella, "Your Highness."
The charcoal basin in the study was burning hot, and the silver charcoal was burning red.
"Song Chu?"
After listening to her choice of candidate, Shen Junzhou lowered his eyes.
The Grand Protector of Anbei is a high-ranking official at the frontier province, and only a loyal and capable general can be qualified for the position.
Liu Xi was suspicious: "Although Song Chu is Xu Yang's top general and has good abilities, he is an old official of Shangliang. If he has rebellious intentions, wouldn't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?"
She did not rush to explain, but took out a small black cloth bag from her sleeve.
Shen Junzhou's eyes were gloomy for a long time, then he raised his hand and took it.
The cloth bag felt heavy in my hand, like a piece of gold.
That day she broke into the Liang camp at night, and when she left she did not take the emperor's order to mobilize troops with her.
Later, Emperor Shangliang dismissed General Xu, and all of General Xu's subordinates surrendered to Ping Tang. He handed over the emperor's military order and the military order in his hand to Shen Junzhou.
Shen Junzhou stared at the thing lying in his palm.
There is no longer any blood on the bronze talisman, but it has experienced too many wars, and the intent of killing has already penetrated into every cold and solemn line.
The bronze body with tiger and leopard patterns is a military talisman for the upper beam.
This was what he gave her on the day she left Liaocheng after the great victory at Shanyu Pass.
The emperor gave the general a military token and he guarded the country.
The Shangliang army surrendered, and when a new army was reorganized later, this military token was no longer useful.
The loyalty and righteousness of the late Emperor Shangliang and General Xuyang, one king and one minister, can be expressed in the military token.
Before leaving, he gave her the military talisman for raising the beam.
He gave her the most precious and rare trust between the monarch and his subjects.
Chun Nianren now returned the military token to him, and he gave it to Song Chu.
Shen Junzhou understood the intention.
Song Chu should also understand the deep meaning of this...
The silver carbon in the brazier burned more and more fiercely, and with a snap, a spark flew out.
After everyone left, the study returned to peace.
Shen Junzhou turned around slowly and fixed his eyes on the silver-white sword lying on the sword rack behind him.
The snow-like dragon pattern on the scabbard glows silver.
Serve the king's sword.
He stretched out his hand, the snow sheath was cold, and he held it in his palm.
The red gem inlaid on it flashed with a sharp feeling as he moved.
After Liu Xi personally escorted the person out of the palace, he returned to the study.
"Mr. Gongyi really knows people's hearts very well and has a thorough understanding of them."
Thinking back to our conversation tonight, this Mr. Gongyi's scheming is truly the best in the world.
First, he used the emperor's military order in the hands of the eunuch to break Xu Yang's loyalty to the new emperor of Liang, and then he persuaded Xu Yang to surrender.
Now he used this old military token to gain Song Chu's loyalty.
With two small military tokens, under her thoughts, one destroyed the upper beam, and the other would bring peace to the Northern Region of Pingtang for a hundred years...
