Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 234, Daiyu Enters Beijing

"Your Majesty!"

Kong Zhaolin shouted in a trembling voice.

She turned around, bit her lips lightly, and said pitifully:
"Please, I can't hold on any longer..."

Although Kong Zhaolin said this, her slender hands unconsciously reached around him and then she pressed her whole body tightly against Fang Yong.

The fine hair on the girl's cheek rubbed against Fang Yong's chest, and she said with a sweet breath:
"Please, my king, have mercy on me..."

Fang Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard that, she was so reluctant!
"no!"

Fang Yong refused outright and reached out to pick up Kong Zhaolin.

Kong Zhaolin's two small hands seemed to push Fang Yong's chest in resistance, and she shouted: "Don't... King!"

However, while resisting, the two delicate little feet obediently crossed and locked around Fang Yong's waist, clinging closely to Fang Yong, unwilling to separate for a moment.

As time passed, Kong Zhaolin's hair was disheveled, her pretty face was blurred, her body was tightly wrapped around Fang Yong, and she said:
"My king, I'm sorry, Zhaolin has no strength left. It's Zhaolin's fault!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yong raised his hand and slapped it hard.

"Hmm~ah!"

Kong Zhaolin looked up aggrievedly, with tears in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why she was beaten.

Fang Yong looked at this charming little girl and couldn't help cursing in his heart:

"Little actor, you're still acting. It looks like you have plenty of energy!"

"For those who dare to deceive him, we must strike hard and punish them severely! Huge punishment!"

Two more days passed like this.

There was a lot of discussion about the princess's death among the people, and many people spread the news.

Fortunately, the important officials in the court were busy fighting for the position of Minister of Military Affairs at this time, so it did not cause too much trouble.

At the beginning, Fang Yong sent people to suppress those who spread the news of the princess' death.

But later Wu Yuan came over and advised Fang Yong not to do so.

Wu Yuan believes that it is better to unblock than to block.

The princess is dead and the situation is irreversible.

The common people don't care about such things.

Those with ulterior motives will not stop spreading information just because of a crackdown.

Instead of wasting energy sending people to suppress the riot, it is better to cut the Gordian knot, convict the prince consort as soon as possible, arrange the princess's funeral, and then find a great scholar to endorse the incident and determine the nature of the matter.

Fang Yong felt that what Wu Yuan said made sense.

This process seems to be quite familiar in memory and is a proven and reliable method.

Fang Yongsui followed his advice and quickly convicted the son-in-law in the Golden Palace, announced it to the world, and then beheaded him in public. He also sent someone to preside over the princess's funeral, and buried her on a good day.

The princess was already very old, and the tomb had been built long ago and could be used directly. The only thing that made Fang Yong feel a little regretful was that the gold and silver burial objects were buried underground in vain.

Or find someone to steal it out...

Forget it.

It would be somewhat unethical to do so.

Fang Yong is now a big shot who controls the government of a country. It is too insidious to do such a thing. It is better to send people to other continents to move later...

The military report was delivered.

Ma Laohei's army was moving slowly. They had just passed Juyongguan and were expected to arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow.

Fang Yong sent someone to urge him to act faster.

Fang Yong planned to let Ma Laohei lead the troops to deal with Mao Cheng and teach this disobedient guy a lesson.

In the evening, news came from the port that Daiyu and others' ship would arrive at the port tomorrow.

Fang Yong was very happy and quickly made arrangements for the reception.

The next day, it was time for Daiyu to go to Beijing.

Fang Yong was changing clothes in the palace.

Xiangyun handed over a five-clawed dragon robe. Fang Yong put it on, and his temperament was majestic and domineering.

But Fang Yong took off his robe after taking a look. "What's wrong?"

Xiangyun asked.

Fang Yong said: "It's too formal, it makes me look unfamiliar. You should dress simply when meeting Sister Lin. Bring me my new straight-hem gown."

Xiangyun nodded and went to get the robe, but she was thinking about the three words "Lin Daiyu" in her mind.

Xiangyun often heard Fang Yong repeat these three words, which showed that she was a very important person in the general's heart, but she didn't know what she looked like, and whether she was good-looking or not...

Fang Yong changed into a newly made robe, which was a dark black robe with red gold embroidery, which made him look more elegant.

At this moment, news suddenly came.

Ma Laohei’s army is outside the city!
Fang Yong was stunned. This is really...

It turned out that after receiving Fang Yong's urging yesterday, Ma Laohei immediately began a forced march, traveling day and night, and arrived outside the capital within a day.

"This guy, why did he rush to leave at this time instead of earlier or later?"

Fang Yong said dissatisfiedly.

He just asked Ma Laohei to move a little faster, not so fast!
What should we do now?
The army has arrived outside the city and has collided with Daiyu's boat. Who should they pick up first?

Lin Daiyu, the first woman who fell in love with him, had the deepest feelings for Fang Yong, no one could compare...

army……

It seems that Lin Meimei has to bear the brunt of the situation.

Fang Yong ordered someone to notify Daiyu, asking her and others to wait for a while while he went to meet the army!
Compared with temporary personal relationships, the support of the army is obviously more important.

Although realistic, it is also rational.

Fang Yong took his officials out of the city to reward the army that had returned after retaking Datong.

The morale of the Huaiyin army soldiers was high after seeing Fang Yong, and they did not feel tired at all from the rapid march.

However, Fang Yong still arranged for them to rest later.

Although these soldiers are mentally excited, they are actually very tired physically. There are still many battles waiting for them, so it is very important to get enough rest.

Afterwards, Fang Yong talked with generals such as Ma Laohei for a while. Fang Yong revealed to them his plan to attack Mao Cheng, and Ma Laohei did not object to it.

No one thought Mao Cheng was a threat.

Based on previous intelligence, Ma Laohei inferred that this war against Mao Cheng would not last too long. It was very likely that after a few small victories, Mao Cheng would be frightened and choose to surrender unconditionally.

Fang Yong expressed his agreement with Ma Laohei's point of view. He had previously discussed this with Wu Yuan, Zhai Xun and others, and believed that there was a great probability that Mao Cheng would choose to surrender and would not resist to the end.

By the time Ma Laohei left, it was already past noon.

Fang Yong went to greet Daiyu again, but found out that Daiyu and others had already gone ashore in advance.

"Oh no! Sister Lin must be angry this time!"

Fang Yong sighed helplessly and hurried back.

When I walked into the Qianqing Palace, I heard laughter coming from the back hall.

Xiangyun's silly voice, with a hint of tongue biting, was particularly obvious.

"Third sister, ah, give it back to me!"

Tanchun smiled and said:
"No, no, let me see, what is this?"

Tanchun held a secret note in her hand and began to read:
"The secret to getting along with the Madam: 1. Be humble and modest. 2. Please her..."

"Tanchun, you are so mean!"

Xiangyun was so angry that she called out Tanchun's name, chased after her with a red face and snatched the secret letter away.

Daiyu glared at Tanchun when she saw this. She didn't know that Tanchun had the closest relationship with Xiangyun when she was in the Jia Mansion, so she blamed her:
"How can you bully others like this?"

Hearing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Xiangyun will forgive me. I even brought a gift for her!"

Xiangyun's expression was slightly moved when she heard this. She was a carefree person who didn't bear grudges. She emphasized: "You should call me Sister Xiangyun!"

Tanchun said, "It's my sister, Sister Xiangyun."

Xiangyun was so angry that she stretched out her hand and asked, "Where's the gift?"

Tanchun slapped her forehead and said:
"Oh no, I didn't know my sister was here, so the gift was delivered to her house!"
