Chapter 309 312

【Chapter 3 Twelve】

The soft and fragrant zongzi made your index finger move, and Zhong Xu licked the rice grains on the bamboo leaves very happily.

Ji Ce turned sideways and said quietly: "Chi Heng, have you calmed down? Your little love and Jing Tong are really like that. It's a pity that Jing Tong has the same heart."

No, the rice dumplings in the capital are complicated, and Yan Jing and Zhong Xu picked out five or six different fillings, and peeled them one by one for him, and finally rubbed the rice grains on his cheeks, and put colorful ropes on him. attentive.

Nai He Zhong Xu didn't care too much.

Instead, he chatted and laughed with Mei Yuanbai beside him.Mei Yuanbai was born more handsome than Yan Jingtong, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and beautiful lips, but he is a little too thin, and in time, he will become a gentle and refined scholar.Mei Yuanbai spoke elegantly, and Zhong Xu could not help but smile with his thin eyelids.Yan Jingtong was a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, although he didn't understand it well, he would still be jealous. Knowing that Zhong Xu valued Mei Yuanbai more than his daily companion, he immediately became unhappy.

Chi Heng watched from the side, feeling a sour yet sweet taste, with thousands of emotions entangled in his heart, indescribable.

Ji Ce laughed.

Chi Heng only deceived himself that he didn't see anything.

Let's talk about the past in a few years. Since Zhong Xu is determined to fight, he will never give up until he fights once.Chi Heng calculated that most of the generals were outside the capital, and only Mei Yuanbai’s father, the deputy general Mei Fu, was stationed in the capital. Why not let Zhong Xu follow him? Think of the person in the dream who invited him to fight with him.

Chi Heng smiled and peeled off a white rice dumpling.

In June, the scenery is beautiful, lotus flowers are in full bloom in the palace, they are folded down and put in a vase with dewdrops. At this time, Cen Pojing and Rong Yue return triumphantly.

The indescribable triumph of the spring breeze, the inexhaustible horseshoe strength of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

That night, Chi Heng hosted a banquet to cleanse the dust.

When Rong Yue met, he drank three cups, his face was flushed, he opened his clothes, and dragged Zhuang Qi to talk non-stop in the scorching summer wind.Cen Pojing came late, Rong Yue joked: "Xiao Biesheng is newly married, with four wives and four bridal chambers, it's not bad that General Cen can stand upright!"

Cen Pojing kicked him: "Who are you talking about standing upright all day long!"

Rong Yue glanced at Chi Heng jokingly: "Pojing, this table is assembled, I want to see how Chi Heng can settle everyone, Nuo, they are all around him."

Whoever is closest to Chi Heng, of course, is the most favored, Chi Heng heard a strange smile, got up slowly, asked Ji Ce to greet the former ministers selected by Chi Heng, and asked Luo Jinghan to settle the promotion from the local area Courtiers, let Shi Wei appease the noisy generals.As a result, half of the table was filled in an instant.

Rong Yue laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up: "There is really a way."

After hearing this, Ji Ce turned his head and gave Chi Heng a sideways glance, and Chi Heng returned the glance with a smile.

Halfway through the drink, a subordinate came over to toast, his subordinate was Zhang Zhongde, he was over sixty years old, but he refused to accept his old age, he often had clever strategies to meet the enemy, and he made great military exploits, Chi Heng admired him very much.Talking about Chi Heng's appreciation and favoritism, the man looked grateful, and after a few drinks, he dared to say anything: "General Chi, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Go ahead."

"In July and August last year, there were locust disasters in Bingzhou, Leizhou, and Yizhou, causing countless food losses; in November and December last year, Leizhou, Bingzhou, and Shuzhou encountered heavy snowfall that was hard to see in a century, and countless livestock were frozen to death and frostbite. In March, severe droughts in Sizhou, Ningzhou and other places delayed agricultural and mulberry plans. In fact, it was not just natural disasters.”

Could it be that there is still a man-made disaster?Chi Heng frowned.

Zhang Zhongde said: "There is a fortune-telling sorcerer who knows the sky, and he said that the imbalance of yin and yang in the Qianyuan army is the most fundamental reason for the severe drought and heavy snow."

Chi Heng was speechless: "Last year, I bestowed more than a hundred women to the generals, so how could the yin and yang still be out of balance? Big deal, when the rewards are awarded in July, the original palace ladies will be rewarded, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhongde shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't mean that. General Chi is the leader of the Qianyuan army. This is the root cause."

What to say, what to come.

Chi Heng has a headache.

The news of yin and yang imbalance spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the Qianyuan army. Some officials had the courage to mention it to Chi Heng again, but Chi Heng ignored it.What's even more ridiculous is that the magician also predicted that there would be a major flood in June, and that there would be a plague after the flood.But so far, it seems calm.Zhuang Qi didn't see any signs either, he just said that he couldn't quite understand the recent astrology, it was often covered by floating clouds, and the star trails were very different.

As soon as Cen Pojing and Rong Yue came back, Chi Heng acquiesced in August's enthronement.

Apart from the handling of various complicated affairs, such as the enactment of laws and regulations, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the placement of captives, the revitalization of people's livelihood, etc., are enough to keep Chi Heng busy.With Shi Wei settling down the army, Rong Yue was free and wandered around the capital all day. When he came back, he told Chi Heng: "The people all over the street are talking about your yin and yang imbalance, hahaha, I'm so funny, God What does it have to do with you?"

When Rong Yue said this, Chi Heng's head got bigger.

I don't know who provoked this matter, but it clicked immediately after I caught it.

On the seventh day after Rong Yue came back, there was a sudden storm, lightning and thunder, and the day was like night.It rained heavily for five or six days, and the water in the capital immediately rose, and the sound of houses collapsing could be heard endlessly.Cen Pojing and Rong Yue led the army to rescue the things that had suffered one after another, and the people looked at the "foreign" and sighed.The heavy rain finally stopped, and it looked like it was about to stop raining.

In this way, the officials' admonitions became more justified.

Not only this heavy rain, but also the plague. The warlock even predicted that there would be a greater disaster in September.

The older the officials, the more persistent they are. "There are three ways to be unfilial and having no descendants is the greatest" all retreated to the last, and "endangering the country and the country" was actually the first reason, not to mention "the people will be burned in the long run and will not be peaceful".

At first Chi Heng scoffed.

Three people become tigers, and it gets annoying when people talk about Chi Heng every day. Fortunately, Rong Yue said carelessly: "Listen to their nonsense! It doesn't make any sense at all! During the war, didn't they say that there can't be women in the barracks, there are women I just lost the battle, and I didn’t listen to the result! Isn’t Wen Churan, the female general, victorious in every battle? How many men in Zheng Yijun were beaten out of their wits by her! Ha! Now, they say they want women again. They think women are A panacea! If you want to sneak out, just keep it and kill it if you can't cure the disease, a bunch of bastards!"

The more tolerant he is, he speaks right and wrong, he is straightforward, tough and arrogant.People who are straighter than him can't talk about him, and those who can talk about him can't beat him.

Chi Heng was happy to see him defeat a hundred with one.

At this time, Rong Yue's master came to the capital.

Rong Yue obediently ran to Wanli Academy to wait on him, and after two days, he managed to escape back to Chi Heng's side, drank a few glasses of wine, and said with a red neck, "I said, Chi Heng, you should hurry up and marry me." Queen!"

Chi Heng's eyeballs were about to fall off.

"Hurry up and marry one, let's deal with it. My master said that everything can prosper if there are yin, yang, and mutual cooperation, and nothing will work without one." Rong Yue scratched his head, "It's no big deal, I see, Deputy Ji ... Uh, shock... Uh, let me pick one for you!"

The corner of Chi Heng's mouth twitched: "Are you mad?"

Rong became more and more anxious: "Then what can I do? All that said, my master taught me a hard lesson for two days, saying that if your country is ruined because of this shit, blame me for telling you not to marry a wife and have children. Anyway It's not a big deal, the previous emperor was still in the Sixth Court of Sangong, you just marry one and let it go!"

"You marry! You should marry someone! Back then, you were not willing to marry Kao!"

"It can be the same thing! If I don't marry the flower king, I will harm myself. If you don't marry the queen, you will harm the people of the whole country. It can be the same!"

The two blushed and their necks were thick and they were arguing with great joy.

Ji Ce stepped forward and said calmly: "Rong Yue is right. In order to calm the rumors inside and outside, you should choose a queen."

Chi Heng's eyes widened.

I couldn't believe that Ji Ce said such a thing, instinctively looking at Luo Jinghan, he also lowered his head, as if tacitly acquiescing.Chi Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Vice Envoy Ji, you clearly know that this is impossible! Even if there is a false empress, it is impossible! It is all nonsense and cannot be believed!"

"Still, let's try first."

For several days, Chi Heng was very angry, because Ji Ce put many portraits of women in front of him, and asked him to pick one at random. Chi Heng was furious and threw the portraits: "Even if I can give her glory and wealth, So what, her whole life has been ruined. Besides, I don't want to, why do I have to do this kind of thing, can it fool God. "

Ji Ce said quietly: "It's about the country, no matter it's true or not, you can't arouse public anger anymore."

So, is it just perfunctory?

Chi Heng was so depressed that he couldn't vent his anger. If he didn't choose, the courtiers couldn't help it.Rong Yue still had a way, slapped his thigh and said: "I have someone on hand, Wen Churan, she is a heroine of women, and she is also a woman! Don't worry about it, I will persuade her!"

Wen Churan, the female general, has always been Rong Yue's subordinate.

Because of Rong Yue's protection, she was not excluded in the Qianyuan army at first. After making many military exploits, the generals accepted this fierce female army naturally.

And Wen Churan is impressively listed in the army, because of her methods, no one regards her as a woman anymore.

When Rong Yue said this, the generals were full of praise.

The next day, Chi Heng was depressed, because after the flood, there would be a plague, even if the magician didn't tell him, he knew that the disaster relief brochures were presented one after another, which really upset him.I could only take a walk in the quiet courtyard, when suddenly I heard a series of crisp bells, and then a warm fumigated wind drifted by.

He raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked at Ziye Lixia in astonishment, and there was a radiant woman standing there.

I saw her wearing a goose-yellow long dress, which was more beautiful than the March spring flowers. On the skirt, she had a dignified face, her eyebrows were curved like knives, her eyes were like autumn water, her long hair was blowing by the wind, and there were three small flowers on the hosta, one hanging down. On the side of the ear, there is a crisp bell in the wind.

Chi Heng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

A trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she saluted generously: "Chu Ran met the general!"

Wen Churan?

The Wen Churan he saw was always dressed in bundled hair, in military uniform, and full of travel, and he had never looked like a woman like this.It is so stunning that everyone who sees it will focus their eyes and forget their minds. What's more, it has a free and easy attitude that ordinary women don't have, which is really unique in thousands of miles.

Chi Heng stopped where he was, not understanding what happened.

Rong Yue walked over briskly, bumped into Chi Heng, and jokingly said: "This, is it okay? Wen Churan is so beautiful, I didn't realize it!"

Chi Heng was silent.

Wen Churan also looked at Rong Yue and remained silent.

After that, Wen Churan would come to visit every day, spending about half an hour with Chi Heng.She is not mean-spirited, and when Chi Heng handles affairs, she is quite insightful and careful, and can handle all matters big and small.Even if she has doubts, she will go back and discuss with her military advisor, and she will be able to give a good idea the next day.Chi Heng liked her more and more, and thought that it would be nice if she was a man, after all men and women are different, if they get too close, there will be more gossip.

But, is it appropriate to marry such a queen?

Just to quell nonsense rumors?

Rong Yue, the matchmaker, is very conscious. He will come here every day to see what Chi Heng and Wen Churan are doing, and ask for Chi Heng's opinion. He also said that Ji Ce and Luo Jinghan don't care, anyway, if it's fake, it's fake Well, Chi Heng was upset when he heard that, and chased him away like a fly. Rong Yue grabbed the door and said sadly: "It's not my fault, it's all my master's fault, he grabs my ear and lectures every day, look , look, the ears were ripped off by him!"
