Chapter Seventy-Two: The Court of the Pastoral Plateau
Soon, the court reported that Xiling Palace sent his disciples to Gulang to contact the general Yuan Jieen, intending to be loyal to the military camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gulang, an important border town in the north of the country, one hundred and eighty miles outside the city, is the royal court of the herdsman who dominates the north of the desert. The people of the royal court of the herdsman are bold and strong, and wherever the iron cavalry goes, the momentum is as fast as the wind, and the ruts are chaotic, which has always been a big trouble in the northern part of the country.
Xiling Palace is located on the border of the country, not far from Gulang, only about eighty or ninety miles away. Although the court heard that the Xiling Palace was mysterious and a little strange, it was a little strange to learn that its disciples were all outstanding, their skills were outstanding, and they had the ability to block a hundred, so they were greatly excited for a while.
Above the court, the official Shangshu Mengpu Qiankou is like a hanging river, and the tongue is full of lotus, and he is full of praise for Yuan Jieen's use of the power of the rivers and lakes to guard Gu Lang. In the main hall, Taifu Gui Shinan sang and harmonized with him, saying that if Yuan Jieen could get this help, it would be a great benefit to the peace of the country. So, the ministers rejoiced, and they celebrated each other, and the right Xiangyuan Mansion was even more busy, with colorful lights, and the door was like a city, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
A few days later, there were folk rumors that Lu Qiyun, the old lady of the Jian family in Linsang Jian's Mansion, was so angry that she almost braided her hair for the marriage of her great-eldest grandson Jian Jingran. After hearing about this, the courtiers discussed a lot, and Emperor Ye Lin immediately ordered someone to go to Linsang to find out.
Linsang Jianfu is a famous family admired by thousands of people in the country. Tracing back to the roots, the ancestor of the Jian family is Jian Qinyan, who founded the great cause of the country with Emperor Yi Lin Xiehuan more than 300 years ago. But it is this quiet corner of Jane's Mansion that often makes Lin Qitan feel a headache.
Since the time of Emperor Huan Lin Chengxian, Jianfu has been far away from the court, and the family has moved, living a life of bamboo fence huts and curling smoke. At that time, Lin Chengxian thought that Jian's fading out of the court would have no disadvantages for the imperial power, so he pushed the boat down the river, rewarded the Jian family with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and sent Yulin Army to escort them all the way to Linsang. Since then, the Jane Mansion has only been in the folk to help the public, to help the poor, and never to discuss the rights and wrongs of the court, so the royal family is also quite generous to it, and at the end of each year, the Ministry of Rites will send a generous gift to Linsang as appropriate, in order to show condolences.
But such a friendly scene of monarchs and ministers was broken by Jian Jing, the granddaughter of Lu Qiyun, the old lady of the Jian family, five years ago.
Although Jian Jing is only twenty-three years old now, she is Jian Jingran's aunt in terms of generation. In the spring of the eighth year of the Wu Yuan Dynasty, when Jian Jing went out hunting, she accidentally galloped to the territory of the Muyuan Wangting, and was surprised to encounter the defenders of the Muyuan Wangting City, which was full of danger and precarious. In order to get out, Jian Jing mixed into the horse caravan, but unexpectedly, she went deep into the city defense barracks, and met with the prince of the herdsman's court, Qingjun, and Rimoshu. The two went from hand-to-hand combat, fighting wits and courage, to showing their magical powers and sympathizing with each other, and after all kinds of things, they finally broke free, and the two were happy with each other, forming a legendary and indissoluble bond.
In the autumn of that year, Rimoshu ignored the opposition of his clan and married Jian Jing as his concubine. Since then, the two of them have been at ease every day, galloping across the boundless green fields for thousands of miles, like glue and paint, flying like wings.
Rimoshu is heroic and arrogant, and is the half-brother of Yuhan Tudushi, the leader of the royal court of the herdsman. Tuwanshi's biological mother Mo Erdou died early and was raised by Tiduo, the mother of Rimoshu, so the brothers Tudushi and Rimoshu have a deep relationship.
In the third year of the Wu Yuan Dynasty, the king of the pasture, Khan Burku, died of a recurrence of his old illness, and Tu Dushi took over the throne by edict. Unexpectedly, the eastern Wuluo tribe suddenly rebelled, and the leader of the Wuluo tribe, Kudan, threatened Tuwanshi with his life to abdicate the throne. Just when Tutwansh was in a dilemma, Tiduo stepped forward, blood splattered three feet, and entrusted Zhimoshu to Tutwansh on his deathbed.
After ascending the throne, Tudushi was in front of all the tribal generals, and named Ri Moshu as the prince of Qingjun above 10,000 people under one person, and wrote an edict in black and white, declaring that after a hundred years, he would inherit the unification by Khan's brother Rimoshu.
Unlike King Zhe and Lin Juyao, who was cautious in the country, Ri Moshu believed in horses and horses since he was a child, and he was uninhibited, causing trouble everywhere in the royal court of the pastor.
At that time, Jian Jing met with the defenders of Muyuan Wangting City, and it was Rimoshu who secretly ran out of the camp by playing, which made the city defenders panic, and specially sent troops to look for people, so that Jian Jing and Rimoshu met unexpectedly.
If she was just a young lady of the Jian Mansion family and became the princess of the Muyuan royal court, it would not give Lin Yitan a headache, after all, for the country, it is not a bad thing for the two countries to have good relations. What really made Lin Qitan feel in a dilemma was that four years ago, when Bai Xian, the general guarding Gulang, was trapped in the Xianqi Valley by the strange soldiers who fell from the sky by Rimoshu, and finally the hero was defeated, and his reputation was ruined in a battle.
Bai Xian is brave and mighty, righteous and thin, and the art of war is unparalleled, not only in the military camp with a high prestige, but also in the country. If Lin Qitan showed kindness to the Jian family, it would be difficult to explain to the children of the Bai Mansion and the soldiers who had followed Bai Xian's birth and death. But if Lin Qitan wants to turn a blind eye to the Jian family, it seems extremely inappropriate, even if Lu Qiyun is now in the age of the horse's back, has experienced three emperors, and is the first emperor's wife, only to say that the Jian family has a deep relationship with the ancestors of the country, and the current Qingjun princess will be the queen of the Muyuan royal court in the future, Lin Qitan must not ignore Lu Qiyun's angry bedridden.
Lin Qitan thought about it repeatedly, and always felt that it was impossible to treat Jian Mansion lightly and seriously, so he was extremely troubled. In the end, it was Wu Hansheng who suggested that he could secretly send someone to Linsang to find out, which secretly matched Lin Qitan's intentions. If Lu Qiyun really travels west, the Ministry of Rites will have to prepare a big gift to send it, but if it is just a temporary illness, the royal family can pretend to be deaf and dumb and stay out of the matter.
Just when the people sent by Lin Yitan urged the horse to gallop out of the Xiao'an City Gate, in the Langfeng Pavilion of the King of Xuan's Mansion, Lin Yiren had already understood the whole thing.
"Jian Jingran took a jade jue and ran to Tiandu Peak to propose to Lu Yunxun, the master of Yilanmen, that Gu Xiaofan had made a private agreement with him for life, but was knocked down the mountain by Gu Xiaofan?" Lin Yiren held the tea lid and lightly repeated Qi Jing's words.
Qi Jing nodded, "I heard that the old lady of the Jian family had married Jian Jingran earlier, and the other party was a branch of her mother's family, and the little girl's name was Shi Ningxue, who was extremely smart and clever, and her appearance was handsome, and she was very liked by the Jian family." ”
Lin Yiren took a sip of tea, "Where is Jian Jingran right now?"
Qi Jing said, "Judging from the news obtained by Boundless House, the old lady of the Jian family is really angry this time, Jian Jingran was ordered to be grounded for half a year, and she should still be in the Jian Mansion now." ”
Lin Yiren put down the teacup and said, "What about Ye Fusheng?"
"No news yet. Qi Jing shook his head and said, "Ye Fusheng's whereabouts have always been erratic, and he was seriously injured when he escaped from Qiuyi Villa on a full moon night, and now he is mostly hidden in the deep streams of the mountains to heal his injuries, and there is no trace for a while. ”
Lin Yiren bowed slightly, "Tomorrow, you send someone to Yuehe and let Nangong Ji, the young gang leader of the Linghai Gang, go to the Eagle Pond once." ”
"Eagle Pond?" Qi Jing was surprised, "A place to live in seclusion without frost in autumn?"
Lin Yi said, "Listen to Jiang Nuo, Qiuyi Villa has released rumors, and will choose a son-in-law for Qiu Shanshan in the near future." ”
Qi Jing said, "Does the prince want to match the young gang leader of Nangong with Miss Qiu?"
Lin Yiren got up and walked to the window, and said lightly, "I heard that Nangong Shao had a little friendship with Qiu Wushuang back then, Nangong Ji has an extraordinary appearance, outstanding, not inferior to the brothers of the Qiu family, and his identity and age are also the same as Qiu Shanshan, looking at the young and middle-aged heroes in the rivers and lakes today, there are not many people who can beat him." ”
Qi Jing said, "But how does the prince know that the young gang leader of Nangong and Miss Qiu will be happy with each other?"
"But let's give it a try. Lin Yiren was silent for a moment and sighed lightly, "If the flowing water deliberately falls ruthlessly, Yi Nangong Ji's free and easy temperament will definitely not care too much, but if this matter can be done, the forces of Qiuyi Villa can be used by me in the future." ”
Qi Jing was puzzled, "Why did the prince let the young gang master of Nangong go to the Eagle Pond to meet Senior Qiu first?"
Lin Yi said, "Qiu Shanshan has been regarded as the pearl of the palm by his parents and brothers since he was a child, although Qiu Muyao is the owner of the village, but this matter must ultimately be decided by Qiu Wushuang and Feng Rui and his wife, since they have to face it sooner or later, it is better to let Nangong Ji Tan go to worship frankly, and let him and his wife see it thoroughly, and settle down as soon as possible and make a decision." ”
Qi Jing said, "But where is the fifth prince...... It seems that I still have Miss Autumn in my heart. ”
"As the prince of the kingdom, Ziyan should know that the things of the world must not be done rashly. Lin Yiren thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "You ask Shi Mo to pass on the news that Qiu Shanshan is about to choose a son-in-law to Ziyan, and if he is really annoyed in his heart, take him to the mansion." ”
"Yes. Qi Jing bowed and retreated.
Lin Yiren looked at the lotus pond in the courtyard and sighed imperceptibly. Treating others with himself, Ziyan will definitely not feel good, even if he knows that the person he likes has never belonged to him.
Jian Jingran ...... Lin Yiren's mind came to mind the handsome young man in green shirts.
When Jian Jingran rushed to Yilanmen and boldly proposed marriage, was Yanxu also on Tiandu Peak? If Yanxu had listened to Jian Jingran's words, how would Gu Xiaofan be at a loss and panic? After Jian Jingran left, had anyone ever given Gu Xiaofan a chance to explain? Is Gu Xiaofan, who was speechless, still alone and lonely in the moonlight?
Thinking of this, Lin Yiren's heart suddenly ached. Jian Jingran's private lifelong rhetoric almost ruined Gu Xiaofan's reputation, with the prestige and background of Jian Mansion, it seems that it is difficult to tolerate a lonely girl like Gu Xiaofan who has nothing, and no matter who Gu Xiaofan marries into in the future, I am afraid that she will inevitably have to listen to some gossip about her and Jian Jingran, even if Gu Xiaofan can compromise and endure the faces of the elders, but can she still get the warmth that she has been longing for for a long time?
The lotus pond is dense, the blue plate is rolling, and Lin Yiren slowly closes his eyes, recalling the figure of the small fan in the outer valley of Qiuyi Villa.
"You saw it too, and the bride was so beautiful, with a high flowing cloud bun, a jasper hairpin, a ruby on her forehead, and a pair of delicate earrings......
"Could it be that you can see the bride through Hipa?"
"No, no, it's just that the bride in my heart should be like this. ”
"And what should you think of as a bridegroom?"
"Naturally, it's like Ah Xu, if Ah Xu is sitting on that horse today, where will anyone look at the bride?"
Speech ...... Lin Yiren let out a long sigh, if Yan Xu became Lu Yunxun's fast son-in-law, would Gu Xiaofan still follow the palatial sedan chair all the way?
