Son as Wife

Chapter 64 Understanding

 Although Jiang Chenghan himself was imprisoned, he was most worried about Yan Jingshu who was outside. Now that he saw someone and knew that Yan Jingshu was fine, he lived in prison with peace of mind, and this stay was for a month. time.

During this period, in order not to cause too much trouble for King Chuxiang, Yan Jingshu did not come to see Jiang Chenghan again, and only sent some things in from time to time, which was enough.

It was at a critical juncture that Dannu was suppressed by Beidi's army, and it was not directly annexed by Daqi's reinforcements. According to common sense, it is impossible for them to assassinate Emperor Daqi at this time. Suicide.

But the facts are not absolute, and some things seem impossible but not necessarily impossible.

The previous series of conflicts between Ruo Danu and Beidi, including the fighting between them, were just the two countries playing a double act. The purpose was to use the assassins to come to Beijing to assassinate when they asked for help, so that Daqi was in chaos so that they could take the opportunity to attack Daqi together. , is not impossible.

And if you want to know whether the assassination was a conspiracy between Danu and Beidi, or if it was really just Beidi's plan to drive a wedge between Daqi and Danu, it would be easy.

Just a few days after the assassination, although Jiang Chenghan rescued Jia in time when Nadanu's maid assassinated the emperor, the emperor still fell ill because of the severe fright.

Chaos suddenly broke out between the court and the central government, and disputes arose again over the matter of reinforcements to Dannu. Some said that no matter what, the emperor's serious illness was caused by the Danu people. Although the matter has not been clarified yet, it is not appropriate to send troops to Danu. Some said, Daqi and Dannu have signed the agreement, if they fail to fulfill the agreement, wouldn't Daqi be treacherous? Qi will be a huge threat.

The emperor was bedridden and unable to go to court, but the princes and the two important ministers on the left and right were still in front of the dragon couch in Qianlong Hall, reporting the disputes of the courtiers to the emperor. After being silent for a long time, the emperor finally issued another order to Kou Shijun, asking him to withdraw the reinforcements for Dannu.

The emperor had already made a decision, no matter what the princes and courtiers thought in their hearts, they all looked like the emperor was wise, and then they all resigned.

But what they didn't know was that along with this imperial decree was sent to Ningcheng Kou Shijun, there was also a secret decree written by the emperor himself. According to the secret decree, the emperor asked Kou Shijun to withdraw reinforcements from Danu on the surface, but at the same time secretly send troops to the rear of Beidi.

Regardless of whether the real target is Danu or Daqi, Beidi will not remain silent, but as soon as Beidi sends troops, regardless of whether he is attacking Danu or Daqi, Kou Shijun also sends troops at the same time, inflicting heavy damage on Beidi from the rear.

If the assassination was conspired by Beidi, then the target was Rijian Daqi and Danu. In this case, when Daqi's reinforcements withdraw from Danu because of this, they will take the opportunity to attack Danu. And if the assassination was planned by Danu and Beidi, then the two countries would attack Daqi at the same time.

At that time, the reinforcements sent by Daqi to the territory of Dannu will be sandwiched between Beidi and Dannu, and they will be in danger. Instead of wasting time and troops to rescue, he couldn't help but go straight to Huanglong, taking advantage of Beidi's unpreparedness to sneak attack from the rear, so that he also tasted the feeling of being attacked by the enemy. In this way, Beidi's offensive pace can also be delayed, giving Daqi more opportunities to respond.

Because the emperor issued a secret decree, the courtiers in Beijing and the princes and others did not know about it. It was not until a month later that the battle report came from Ningcheng. Beidi did not attack Daqi. Once again, they invaded the territory of Dannu, and all the way, they directly hit the city of Dannu.

Now Danu is about to be destroyed, and at this time, Kou Shijun, while sending troops to sneak attack Beidi's rear, saw that Beidi's target was indeed Danu, not that Danu and Beidi conspired against Daqi, so he sent troops to reinforce Danu again, ordering Beidi to attack Daqi. Attacked simultaneously.

But despite this, Bei Di was reluctant to withdraw his troops after spending so much time and losing a lot of troops, so he still resisted and finally broke through the city of Dannu. But the Danu people had already abandoned the city and fled, and they only got an empty city, and finally had to withdraw to Beidi.

After nearly a month of fighting, the final result was Beidi's defeat and loss of soldiers and generals. Although Dannu survived, he also suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to recover within a few years. Although Daqi's army suffered a certain loss, it was nothing compared to Beidi and Danu. The hundreds of boxes of treasures, cattle, sheep and horses that Danu offered were enough to make up for it.

Apart from those treasures and livestock, after this battle, Danu needless to say, Beidi will no longer be able to raise troops to make troubles in the next few years, and the border of Daqi will also usher in peace and tranquility for several years.

After receiving this news, there was an uproar in the court, and the emperor who had recovered from his illness and returned to the court only revealed the secret decree at this time, and the courtiers knelt down one after another, calling the Holy Spirit.

The assassination case has been understood so far. Since Dannu was not responsible for this matter, Princess Danuchanya who was imprisoned after the incident was released, and was later brought into the palace and sealed as Ya Fei.

At the same time, Jiang Chenghan was also released. But after all, he was responsible for negligence and negligence. In the end, he was fined fifty boards, and his military rank was also demoted by two ranks. He was changed from general to lieutenant again.

The ban was also beaten in the Audit Department. Because of Mu Chongyan, the executioner turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. The fifty bans passed vaguely, but the demotion was a decree from the Ministry of War. As for the clerk, not to mention Mu Chongyan, even An Guogong, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, can't do anything.

On the day Jiang Chenghan was released, Yan Jingshu, who received the news in advance, came to pick him up. Although the board was not heavy, it could not be seen by others, so Jiang Chenghan was carried out in the end.

Yan Jingshu didn't know, her eyes turned red when she saw it. In the end, after Jiang Chenghan was carried into the carriage, he quickly sat up and hugged him into his arms, only then did he realize that Jiang Chenghan was just pretending before.

Although it's only been a month since he's gone, it's incomparable to the time he was stationed at Tianming Pass in Ningcheng, but Jiang Chenghan still misses his little husband very much, thinking about it in his heart and body. Although it's not easy to do anything in the carriage, but you can't do nothing, so you pressed the person on the carriage and kissed hard enough.

Although it is on a busy street, the voices of pedestrians and hawkers can be heard from outside through the wooden carriage, but Yan Jingshu can't muster the strength to push Jiang Chenghan away at this moment, and even was pushed away by Jiang Chenghan. Jiang Chenghan's breath was enveloped and fumigated, and his whole body softened.

It wasn't until Jiang Chenghan guessed that he was about to arrive at An Guogong's mansion that he let him go. Yan Jingshu's eyes were already moist, his face was flushed with emotion, and his hands and feet were limply leaning against Jiang Chenghan's shoulders, panting unceasingly.

Jiang Chenghan also panted slightly, holding him in his arms with one hand, gently wiping off the wet marks on Yan Jingshu's lips with the other, and said softly: "We're almost at the Duke's mansion, are you okay?"

Yan Jingshu didn't speak, just lowered his eyes He nodded slightly, the blush in the corners of his eyes, against his jade-like face, became more vivid and beautiful.

The carriage finally stopped, and Yan Jingshu slowed down again, making sure that she would not be seen, so she got out of the carriage first. Then he ordered people to carry Jiang Chenghan, who had reclined again, into the Duke's mansion.

Jiang Chenghan was directly carried to Mingxuan where Yan Jingshu lived. Mrs. Yan, Mrs. An, and sister-in-law Shen all came to visit upon receiving the news. This time Jiang Chenghan didn't move, he just pretended to be beaten.

After visiting and greeting, she put down some wound medicine and supplements, and Shen Shi left first. Only then did Jiang Chenghan get up, letting Mrs. Yan and Mr. An know that he was fine.

Although it was an accident for Mrs. Yan and Mr. An, they were completely relieved and left soon. When leaving, Mrs. Yan also took Jiajia and Xiao Huangsun away, leaving Yan Jingshu and Jiang Chenghan alone.

Jiang Chenghan took a good bath. Yan Jingshu wanted to help him trim his beard, but Jiang Chenghan's clothes got wet because of Jiang Chenghan's playfulness. Later, Jiang Chenghan directly dragged them into the bathtub, and they took a mandarin duck bath together. , and it takes an hour to wash.

Finally, when the two came out of the bathroom, Yan Jingshu's body was sore and limp, and she was carried into the bedroom by Jiang Chenghan.

On the bed in the bedroom, Yan Jingshu leaned against Jiang Chenghan, and Jiang Chenghan leaned against the head of the bed, playing with Yan Jingshu's slender and white fingers, while listening to Yan Jingshu tell him about his past month in prison, especially Ning Cheng. war.

Jiang Chenghan listened quietly until Yan Jingshu had finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "Jingshu, do you like Ningcheng?"

Yan Jingshu didn't know why Jiang Chenghan asked this suddenly, he was a little inexplicable, and said: "It's okay. What's the matter?"

Jiang Chenghan thought for a while, and then asked: "Then do you prefer life in Ningcheng, or Beijing?"

Yan Jingshu heard something, and couldn't help but straighten up and look up at Jiang Chenghan, with a bit of seriousness He said: "Whether it's Ningcheng, Beijing, or any other place, it doesn't matter to me. As long as I'm with my family and you, I like living wherever I live."

"... ...I see." Jiang Chenghan smiled, bowed his head and kissed Yan Jingshu on the lips.

Yan Jingshu didn't know why Jiang Chenghan said these things to him, but before he could ask, Jiang Chenghan opened his mouth first, and then talked about something else, saying: "That King Chuxiang, I heard that he was a friend of my uncle when he was young?"

Jiang Chenghan's topic Turning too fast, Yan Jingshu didn't keep up for a while, but when she heard Jiang Chenghan say that, she nodded subconsciously.

Jiang Chenghan asked again: "I'm in prison, and I can't find out anything. Do you know anything else about King Chuxiang?"

At this time, Yan Jingshu had been taken by Jiang Chenghan and forgot what she was about to ask just now. Hearing this, she thought for a while and said, "I knew that you were brought to the Audit Department and went to inquire about King Chu Xiang, but at that time people People say that King Chuxiang is majestic and indifferent and difficult to get in touch with, but after my uncle took me to see King Chuxiang, I realized that he is not what those outside people said. King Chuxiang is obviously very gentle, and he speaks very kindly, maybe It's because of my uncle's relationship. But I heard that King Chu Xiang is also a dedicated person..."

Hearing this, Jiang Chenghan became a little interested, and couldn't help saying: "Special affection? How do you say it?"

Yan Jingshu said: " Princess Chuxiang went there very early. It is said that she fell ill within three months after marrying King Chuxiang. However, King Chuxiang had a deep affection for Princess Chuxiang. He never remarried, nor did he accept a single concubine, and he was alone for nearly twenty years. It is said that once when the imperial court was drafting a talent show, the emperor specially recruited King Chuxiang to go there and let him choose at will from all the ladies waiting for election. , no matter who is selected or how many are selected, they will all be given to him, but King Chuxiang is not moved at all, and directly refuses..."

Yan Jingshu's tone was full of emotion and sigh, Jiang Chenghan said But Shi thought in his heart, counting the time, Yan Jingshu was twenty years old this year, almost born shortly after King Chu Xiang got married, and at that time, it happened to be the time when Xie Huan left Beijing.

Thinking of the fact that King Chuxiang ordered someone to take him out of the prison yesterday, and repelled what other people had said to him in private, Jiang Chenghan felt that he still had to talk to Xie Huan before making a decision.
