The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

Iron Net Mountain is the royal enclosure left by the previous dynasty. After this dynasty won the country, it naturally became the enclosure of this dynasty.In the mountain there are the palaces and villas left by the previous dynasty, and the concubines who followed Emperor Jinghe lived in the palace; those villas were awarded to the four kings and eight princes and other important officials, so all the high-ranking officials who went to the hundred officials lived in the palace. Even civil and military officials who don't have a house in Tiewangshan have rented private houses in advance.

After Emperor Jinghe and his party arrived, they first rested for two days. The next day, all the people marched into the mountains and set up tents. The men went to the forest farm to hunt, and the women lived in the tents, or went to the queen's tent to talk, or Resting in their tents.

The Iron Net Mountain has dense vegetation and many wild animals. After being delineated into a royal enclosure, there are also tribute wild animals from all over the place.

Since Jinghedi and his party entered the forest farm, they have gained a lot every day. In addition, Xihai Yanzi had just won a battle, Jinghedi was in a good mood, and the people who accompanied him watched their words and expressions, and advised Jinghedi to stay longer in Iron Net Mountain day.

Unexpectedly, before entering the mountain that day, everything was fine, but suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, the wind was strong, and snowflakes like goose feathers fell.

The wind made people unable to open their eyes, blowing snowflakes and fallen leaves flying all over the sky, making people unable to see the road in front of them clearly. People who entered the mountain were helpless.The blizzard came quickly, but it was only in September. At first, everyone thought that the snow would come and go quickly, but who would have thought that the snow would not stop all night, and the next day it turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

How many branches were overwhelmed and broken, and fell in a mess in the forest, making it difficult for people to move an inch.The original road has been covered by heavy snow, and nothing can be seen. Before the road is cleared, no one dares to move rashly.With such heavy snow, the most fearful thing is to step on the edge of a snow-covered cliff and roll down with the soft snow. Even if you don't fall to your death, you will be buried in the avalanche, and there is no possibility of survival.

The female relatives who stayed in the tent didn't know that the snow would be so frightening at first, so they all hid in the tent and waited for the heavy snow to stop.Unexpectedly, the strong wind and blizzard roared all night, and the next day, the snow piled up outside the tent blocked the door, making it almost impossible to get out.

The guards staying in the tents first shoveled away the snow outside the camps, and all the female relatives went to the queen's tent to listen to the queen's orders.

Now that she doesn't care about the defense of men and women, the queen first asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who hadn't gone hunting in the mountains to give an overview.First count the number of guards staying in the camp, gather the female family members into the tents of the queen and several princesses, and leave some guards to go into the mountain to find people.They also sent people to find the way to see if they could go out of the mountain and return to Beijing to report the news.

It was not far from the camp to the palace, and from the palace to the foot of Iron Net Mountain, there was a road built. Although it was also buried in snow, experienced guards could manage to find out the direction and pass the news back to the capital.

In the forest farm, people came out one after another, but the more people came out, the more worried the queen was, because none of the people who came out saw Jing Hedi's whereabouts.

On the fifth day, the second prince Situ Jie and the sixth prince Situ Shuo came out one after another.After returning to the camp, Situ Shuo heard that the Queen asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to make an overview, and after greeting the Queen, he said to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "Shang Shu Shen, it's freezing here, why don't you send the Queen Mother and others back first?" In the capital, instead, the guards can be dispatched to go into the mountains to look for the whereabouts of the father. Now the whereabouts of the father are unknown, and the mother and the concubines have always been anxious. In addition, there is a lack of medical care and bad weather. What if there is another blizzard in a few days , Trapping the queen mother and concubines, it's getting worse."

The surname of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Shen, and the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments. Those who can be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials naturally understand what it means to have the prince return to Beijing at this moment, but asked in a nonchalant manner: "From the perspective of the second prince, who will escort you all?" Is it appropriate for the empress to return to Beijing?"

The second prince, Situ Jie, heard this, and thought, "It's just snowing now, and the father is probably trapped. When the father comes out, he sees that I am the only one waiting in the camp. Don't you think I am filial, so Situ Jie Said: "Sixth brother's words are very true, why not send the mother and concubines back to Beijing."

Shen Shangshu didn't say yes or no, but said: "Going back to Beijing is a big deal, I still need to ask the empress about it."

Situ Shuo and Situ Jie had their own plans, but Shen Shangshu's proposal was reasonable, and they both nodded.

After listening to Shen Shangshu, the queen said: "I will not stop you who are willing to return to the capital. I will stay here and wait for the emperor." Queen, if you go back to Beijing like this when Emperor Jinghe is alive or dead, and if Emperor Jinghe comes out alive, wouldn't it leave a gap for people to provoke Jinghedi and the emperor's grandson?The queen is not stupid, her own grandson has just been appointed as the crown prince, even if she is the grandson of the emperor, at this time, she must not let people say that she only cares about herself and does not care about the emperor's life or death.

The empress spoke, but the other concubines were scared to death and did not dare to bring up the matter of returning to Beijing.

Situ Shuo tried to persuade him again, it was nothing more than that the queen and concubines had returned to Beijing, and this place could free up manpower to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Jing and Emperor.

The queen said indifferently: "Shuoer's words are wrong. When we return to the capital, we must send out some guards to escort them. There will be fewer guards who can go into the mountains to find people. How can we spare manpower? How about this? First, send a small team to investigate. Road, if the road from the camp to the palace has been cleared, we will live in the palace first. The palace houses are solid, not afraid of being damaged by the snow, and the female relatives stay together, leaving only a few guards. Leave another ten or so in the camp A guard, leave food and firewood, if there are still people coming out from the hunting area, it is better to make some repairs in the camp, and then go to the palace. Find the emperor, so everyone will return to the capital together."

Situ Shuo hoped that he would send the queen back.This heavy snow came very timely, but I lost many hands and feet.In the capital, his good fifth elder brother Situ Yan guessed that he had acted according to the plan and ruined the reputation of his nephew Situ Jue.I said this trip was to send the queen back to Beijing, but in fact it was also to send the family members of civil and military officials back to Beijing. At that time, I would have so many hostages in my hands. Even if my father came back alive, all civil and military officials would fall to me. My good father refused to abdicate.Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the queen refused to leave, she is not stupid.

"That being the case, I will send my mother and all the concubines to the palace first, and all the female family members will also go to the palace to talk behind the scenes first. My second brother and I, as well as the young and strong adults, still have to stay in the camp. After all, the camp is far away. Entering the hunting ground, the father came out, and saw that there were only a dozen or so guards left in the camp, and they were not in good shape. The elderly adults lived in my villa, and they also took care of each other." Situ Shuo said.

Although Situ Jie is a bit stupid and has unrealistic ambitions, he is not like Situ Shuo. In his concept, pleasing the king and the emperor is the most important thing. If he still has the energy, he can kill a few brothers.So Situ Jie said: "Sixth younger brother, the mother and concubine, as well as the adults who are going to the other village, need to be taken care of. It is enough for me to stay in the camp and wait for the father. How about you go to the palace to take care of me?" Take care. It’s only two days’ journey from the left and right camps to the palace, so the guards will send word quickly if something happens.”

These words hit Situ Shuo's heart, Situ Shuo slightly postponed and said that he would stay and wait for King and Emperor, but Situ Jie insisted on staying, and Situ Shuo let go.Shen Shangshu didn't see anything wrong for a moment, discussed with several other adults, and decided on it.

Many military officers have gone into the mountains, some have come out now, some have not come out, and some who have come out have suffered from frostbite, and they have to be transferred to Xinggong and Biezhuang.In this way, it is tentatively decided that Liu Ping will lead people into the mountains to search for them, while Jia Jing will stay in the camp.

Since Jia Jing visited Shandong that year, he has experienced a lot of blood and blood. Even if it seems reasonable on the surface, he will pay more attention to it.Although he stayed in the camp, he reminded Liu Ping that the guards assigned to the palace must use cronies.

Liu Ping was in charge of the security work for the hunt, now looking for the scene and the emperor are of course important, and the queen must not make mistakes, so after a little thought, he followed Jia Jing's suggestion.

The others didn't know that there would be troubles in this hunt, but Jia Lian had already prepared for it, so he asked for leave without an accompanying driver, but let Cheng Jin and Cheng Hu brothers come with Jia Jing.Jia Jing stayed in the camp by himself, but asked Liu Ping to recruit the Cheng brothers into the guards responsible for guarding the palace.

Situ Shuo came prepared, and brought a lot of personal guards this time. He originally had the wishful thinking of bringing his own personal guards to escort the queen and her party, and kidnapping everyone nearby.Unexpectedly, before departure, Liu Ping sent him a escort.

Situ Shuo said: "General Liu, the safety of the emperor is the most important thing. The guards under General Liu's command are all going to find the whereabouts of the emperor. I have enough personal guards to escort the mother and concubines."

Liu Ping listened to Jia Jing's suggestion, originally she meant to be cautious, but after hearing Situ Shuo's words, she immediately knew that Jia Jing's suspicion was not unreasonable.So Liu Ping said: "My lord, the sixth official is responsible for protecting the safety of everyone who came to the paddock this time. It is important to find the whereabouts of the emperor, but we must not ignore the safety of the queen and all the ladies. If the sixth lord has a heart, it is better to kiss the lord's subordinates." Part of Wei Fen's search for the emperor is also the sixth prince's filial piety."

After hearing this, Situ Shuo almost couldn't help wanting to scratch Liu Ping's handsome face.This is Liu Ping who not only insisted on sending troops to escort the queen and her party, but also dispersed the guards in her hands.However, Liu Ping's words made sense, if she didn't leave some people to search the mountain, then she didn't care about Jing and Di's safety, and she would be an unfilial person.

After Liu Ping said this, Jia Jing also seemed to be observing Situ Shuo's expression unintentionally. Although Situ Shuo was not shallow, but because of Liu Ping's sudden words, there was a slight movement on his face.

Situ Shuo sneered and said: "General Liu reminded me so." In the end, he divided up a small group of personal guards and went into the mountains to find people; They are elite soldiers.

All discussions are in place, and both sides act.Emperor Jinghe disappeared, although it was caused by natural disasters, but in any case, Liu Ping was in charge of the guards on this trip, Liu Ping couldn't absolve himself of the blame, and immediately led people into the mountain again.

Because Liu Ping and Jia Jing had made preparations, the guards sent by Liu Ping to the palace were divided into two groups, one group was under Cheng Jin's command, and the other group was under Cheng Qu's order, patrolling day and night.In particular, Cheng Chengcheng and his brother Situ Shuo took it very seriously.Situ Shuo tried to kidnap the Queen and the others forcibly several times, but he was not very sure, so he gritted his teeth in anger.

Because the people in Iron Net Mountain are now concentrated in three places, Liu Ping made an overview of the first place where they went to the mountain to find people; Jia Jing made an overview of the people waiting for the film king; and the first part of the palace was still an overview of Shen Shangshu.Situ Shuo didn't dare to act rashly, but everyone in Tiewangshan had their own arrangements.

Liu Ping worked tirelessly to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jinghe on No.11.King Jing and Emperor lived in a cave and his leg was injured.Emperor Jinghe and his accompanying guards satiated their hunger with the prey they had caught before the blizzard.Because Iron Net Mountain has a lot of prey, and the guards around Emperor Jinghe are first-class experts, they have supported it until now.

During these ten days, although it still snowed heavily from time to time, Liu Ping thought carefully and tied red silk to mark the roadsides that had already been found out in the mountains, and arranged for an imperial physician in a spacious and relatively central place, and prepared a stretcher. , with the sound of the arrow and the command flag as the news.If you are looking for Emperor Jinghe, it will be faster than returning to the camp to pass on the imperial physician anyway.

Finding Emperor Jinghe that day, Liu Ping first put the arrow up into the sky, the waiting imperial physician and guards heard it, hurriedly returned the arrow first, and then carried the stretcher towards the direction of the arrow.Although the vegetation in Iron Net Mountain is dense, it is now covered in white snow. The further you go, the more you can see the red flag waving through the dense forest.This saved a lot of time, and Jing Hedi was rescued to the camp the next day.

Resting at the camp for a day, Liu Ping and his party escort Jing and Di Xian to the palace.

When Situ Shuo heard that Emperor Jinghe had been found, he regretted that everything was in place in the capital, and at the same time thanked himself for calming down.

After finding Emperor Jinghe, they naturally set off to return to the capital. Although some officials were still trapped in the mountains, and no one was alive or dead, some guards were left to continue searching again. Most of them went back with Jinghedi. Beijing.

While the group was still on the road, they ran into 5000 people sent by the emperor's grandson for reinforcements.After receiving Emperor Jinghe, everyone was naturally a false alarm, and Liu Ping sent people back to the capital quickly, and passed the news of finding Emperor Jinghe back to the capital.

The grandson of the emperor was also greatly relieved to learn that although Emperor Jing He suffered a leg injury, he was not in danger of life.After Emperor Jinghe arrived in the capital, the first thing that happened was that Emperor Xuan came to ask whether the capital was safe these days.

Knowing that Emperor Jinghe was injured, the emperor's grandson temporarily concealed the news of Japanese pirates knocking on his side.After King Jinghe returned to the palace, these things could no longer be kept secret, the emperor's grandson talked about the important foreign troubles, as for the things that the third prince Si Tuzhen hijacked the Qin Tianjian to do, we will wait for the time being.

Emperor Jinghe heard that because of Jia Lian's reminder, Jiangnan was not completely unprepared, and after the loss was not big, he was taken aback for a moment, and sighed: "Uncle Dingyuan's wisdom is better than that of Duke Rong, and he always anticipates the enemy's opportunities. The army is still there, so I must be pleased."
