Chapter Forty-Six: The Wonderful Lobbyist (Thanks to the Worry-free Booklist with the Wind Sword)
Mi Huang lifted the umbrella handed by Si Qin, opened it, and Si Jian raised his head and shouted in surprise, "Lady, it's sunny." ”
The faint rain clouds slowly dissipated in the sky, revealing a trace of early morning dawn, sprinkled on the eaves of the golden palace of the Zhu Palace, reflecting a ray of golden light, Mi Huang squinted, slowly put away the azure oil cloth umbrella in his hand, carried it in his hand, and walked out of the golden palace of the Zhu Palace.
An elegant and calm, smiling expression;
One looked panicked and had anxious eyes in his eyes.
"Lord Ling Yin, Lord Sima!" Qi Huang saluted them.
"Lady!"
The two sides nodded, and Ling Yin Zi took the lead in speaking, "The princess is ready to leave the palace?"
"Yes, go out of the palace to see how the case went. ”
"Lady, can you receive Yan'er's letter to report her safety these days?" Ling Yin Zi nodded when she heard this, as if talking casually, the two of them chatted while walking, but led her all the way to the courtier's hall behind the Zhu Palace.
"Nope. Just half a month ago, Huang received the last letter of peace from the concubine and never received it again, I wonder if Lord Ling Yin has received it?"
But after half a month, there was no news.
The three of them walked into the palace of the courtiers, and the ministers were busy, and when they saw the three of them, they put down their hands and saluted them.
Ling Yin Ziban also led Mi Huang to his private room, and ordered the accompanying civil officials to close the door of the palace, and one took out an urgent encrypted document and handed it over, and said to her, "Ben Yin has not received Yan'er's letter for a long time, only this good news was sent back yesterday by the messenger soldiers, he has repelled the 15,000 Chen army that sneaked up on the Funiu Mountains, and is redrawing the battlefield, about the Jin Kingdom, to the west of Funiu Mountain, Changge, Yanling, and Xucheng between the three places. ”
"My Chu State has taken the initiative?!"
Mi Huang took the document in the civil official's hand and unfolded it, and said excitedly.
"Yes, I wanted to pass on this good news to the king at today's court meeting, but I didn't expect to be preempted by the princess, so I haven't come to announce this good news to the courtiers, but thinking that the princess, as Yan'er's wife, must be the first to know his safety. When Ling Yin Zi said this, he looked at the woman opposite with a smile, and he paid attention to her look, only to see that her eyes were full of excitement about the victory in this battle, and then slowly bowed her head, "Now is a good time for my Chu State, if this battle goes well, the Jin State will also be afraid of my Chu State." ”
"It's a phoenix!"
When Mi Huang heard this, he immediately confessed.
She knew that this was Ling Yin Zi, who was using the news that Ruo Ao Ziyan had repelled Chen Jun to implicitly make clear his position to her, he could acquiesce to them to find the people, but he would not allow the domestic turmoil to affect the Northern Expedition, so he did not put pressure on her and Chen Huang again, but readily agreed to the case.
"It's okay, the matter of missing people is not a trivial matter, and as Cheng Zuoyin said, this case is also an opportunity, which makes Zheng Gong weak-hearted and throws a mouse into my Chu State. ”
Sure enough, Yin Ziban raised her hand immediately after she confessed, but if Ao Ziliang was anxious when he heard this, how could the second brother say that it was okay?
However, he was still patient, waiting for the second brother's next words, only to hear him really change his words and say, "But the princess is also more than eight months pregnant, so you still have to take care of the phoenix body, and leave these investigations to the Criminal Prison Department to be responsible, as long as they let them know afterwards." ”
"Father rest assured, Mi Huang also knows that the belly is the flesh and blood of Ruo Ao's family. ”
Hearing this, Mi Huang put his jade hand on his bulging abdomen and stroked it, and also changed his name to Ling Yinzi.
"Well, then you can rest assured to be a father like this, if you have time, you can also come to the house to sit, your mother is talking every day, afraid that you will eat and live alone in the palace, something is not customary, or no one will take care of you, and something will happen. Ling Yinzi's eyes fell on her bulging abdomen, and the corners of her lips pulled into a smile, "Yan'er is not in Chu State, and this child is about to be born, so we old people will always remember it, even if your mother sends you more slaves and maids to eat and eat in the palace, it is not as reassuring as Yan'er alone by your side." ”
"Lao's mother and father are hanging, and the old mothers who are sent to the palace by my mother are very good to Mihuang, and Mihuang will go to the house to visit her mother when she is free. Mi Huang nodded in thanks.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time I've sat down with my wife. ”
Ling Yin ordered someone to pull out the bench for her, and he also leaned into the sandalwood chair behind him, slowly rubbed the armrests under his hands, and said.
"Yes, Mi Huang has never had the opportunity to listen to the instructions of the increase in relatives. ”
Mi Huang sat in his chair and nodded.
Ling Yin Zi has very few conversations with her, usually more about the support and love of the younger children, I have to say that in this regard, he is far better than her old and dim-eyed, dim and mediocre father.
"Do you know that I was very opposed to your marriage at the beginning?"
Ling Yin Zi smiled on his face, his elegant face had a calm and calm demeanor because of the years, and he seemed to suddenly remember the old things and said casually, Mi Huang nodded slightly when he heard this, and he had heard of the reaction within the Ruo Ao clan before marriage, and even she was not optimistic about the marriage of the two at first, even if she accepted it, it was only because it was given by her father, if it wasn't for Ao Ziyan's insistence, I'm afraid she might not be able to hold on at all, and if Ao Ziyan did everything, she would remember it for the rest of her life.
"Maybe you don't know it yet...... Yan'er had to be with you no matter how we objected to you at that time, most of the entire court was not optimistic about your marriage, and you were each the proud son and daughter of the sky, and together, you must not respect each other like ordinary couples, but you and Yan'er still came together.
This grand wedding was recognized by the ancestors and kings of our Chu country, and was witnessed in front of all the people.
This marriage is the combination of the royal family surnamed Mi and my Ruoao clan after King Wu and my Ruoao clan signed the immortal "Double Ao Alliance", which represents not only the eternal consolidation of the monarchs and ministers of my Chu State, but also the eternal union of the two of you.
So now in my eyes, you and Yan'er are the same, both my children.
If you husband and wife are of the same heart, our Chu State will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and become the largest country in Kyushu, and even Cheng Zhou Dynasty Chu is not a big talk, but vice versa. ”
"Father, I understand what you mean. ”
Mi Huang thought about it and nodded solemnly.
It is undeniable that Ling Yin Zi is an excellent lobbyist, but also an excellent politician.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word against what she was going to do now, but he just understood it with reason and moved with emotion.
Ling Yin Zi looked at her and smiled with relief, "If you can say this, I know that you really understand." ”
"If the lady has something to do, go first, and I won't keep you. ”
"Yes, father, Mi Huang will take his leave first. ”
Under the send-off of the civil official, Mi Huang walked out of the single room like Ling Yinzi, his eyes fell on a cluster of blooming peonies in front of his window, the drizzle was like silk, and the peony flowers were watered more moisturized, a drop of rain fell on the petals, Mi Huang gently picked it down with the palm of his hand, and looked at it lightly with a pair of man's eyes, and then looked up to see that the sky was overcast again, and the sun that had just been revealed hid behind the clouds at some point.
Si Qin looked at the sky and said, "It's really autumn, and the weather begins to get hot and cold. ”
Mi Huang glanced down at the oilcloth umbrella in his hand and said, "I hope this rain will not affect this autumn harvest, Si Jian, you sent someone to the eastern suburbs to see the situation of the autumn harvest over there, and also to see if Cheng Youtu has returned?"
"Yes, lady. "Si Jian commanded.
Let's go out of the palace to find Chen Huang. ”
At this time, Mi Huang, who was in the royal city, didn't know that Cheng Jia hadn't returned to the eastern suburbs at all, and was still in a nameless wasteland two hundred miles away from Jingling County.
In his sleep, he kept shouting, "Hurry up......!"
"Childe, wake up, are you okay?"
Ah Zhu watched his hand being held in the palm of the man's hot hand, only to feel that a white face was red, pushing his hand, he couldn't push it away, so he had to take a hot towel and wipe the cold sweat on the head of the young man who was sleeping on the table.
Their trip back to Beijing was more difficult than expected.
There was an endless hunt before and after.
King Chumu, in the nineteenth year, an assassination of the right disciple that was originally fake turned out to be true, and no one thought that the assassins sent by Yue Jiao were endless, chasing them and preventing them from returning to Ying, all!
Ya brought hot water to the carriage again, and asked anxiously, "Miss Azhu, how is the childe?"
"Still feverish! In order to protect me, Childe was hit by two arrows in the back, and he bled a lot, and now the blood has just stopped, although I have stopped the bleeding with the medicine that Childe carried, but it still has no effect, and now the weather is still hot and cold, I am afraid that I can only hurry back to Yingdu to let the doctor see. After Azhu tied the bandages on the man's body, the god looked worriedly at the blood stains that kept oozing out, and finally proposed, "Ya, why don't we go to the government offices of the counties along the way!"
"No...... They must have sent people to keep an eye on the government offices of the counties along the way, once we go, we will be equivalent to throwing ourselves into the net, hurry up and drive, I can ......still hold on" A weak voice sounded, Cheng Jia slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Childe, you're awake!"
Ah Zhu said in surprise, picked up the pill prepared next to him, and helped him up.
"Hmmm......"
Cheng Jia struggled to get up, Ah Zhu helped him, and quickly poured the pill into her palm and handed it over, he raised his hand and grabbed it into his mouth, even such a simple action seemed to exhaust the strength of his whole body, and after a long time, his chest rose and fell violently, "The autumn harvest season is coming soon...... We must quickly get rid of their tracking, rush back to Yingdu to report the news, and then rush back to the eastern suburbs to collect grain. ”
"Tell everyone to prepare three days of food, bring it, and hit the road immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ya received the order, and immediately ordered to rest for a long time, and the dark guards who had been dead and wounded for a long time and only left dozens of people set off again, and everyone rushed with injuries for days, "Drive!"
