Chapter 183: The Storm Rises Again
King Xing took the still confused Princess Xing in his arms and laughed in a low voice: "Miss Xia is a strange person, but she is a little lazy. Her sixth brother can lead the army, and the fifth brother can rule the world, let's marry such a person, and the fourth brother will be taboo. ”
Princess Xing couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "You coax me again." If her family is as powerful as you say, why doesn't the imperial sister-in-law tell Zhen'er. ”
King Xing spread out his limbs and lay down on the couch, and laughed softly: "You should know the reason better than me, I heard that Miss Xia is not in good health, and you have seen her during the day." ”
Princess Xing thought about such a thing quickly, and immediately said, "Is it difficult for the heirs in the future?" There are no heirs to marry a few concubines, but she is a good person, and she is very clever, but she is not allowed to be people, and the imperial sister-in-law must be afraid that she will make the family restless. ”
King Xing nodded: "Brother Huang, the sister-in-law personally sent several groups of people, but they all said that they couldn't be cured." But I thought in my heart: "When you talk about others, you are quite arrogant, and when you were young, you were not less angry with my aunts." ”
Princess Xing lay down beside King Xing and whispered: "In terms of prestige, you are a hundred times better than the reputation of the fourth brother, why have you never had such a mind." ”
King Xing glanced at the princess, saw her looking at him curiously, and thought: "Although she knows the severity, it will not be good if she accidentally reveals it in front of the child, I still make it clear to her." ”
After making up his mind, he said carefully: "To be a generation of heroes, the so-called time, place and people are indispensable." The brothers and nephews of the fourth sister-in-law have always been able to fight well, unlike your family. Although he was also born as a prince, these two generations have not led troops for a long time. ”
Seeing that the princess was not convinced, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refute it first." Listen to me slowly. Jin'er is cautious, more than successful, and not enough innovative. When the prince was acting as an agent for government affairs in Yanbei, he recruited talents and found many strange people for the fourth brother. I heard that the fifth master of the Xia family once led a county parent official with a white body. Jin'er and Li'er may not have such courage. This is the second one. ”
"Prime Minister Han Cheng is facing the enemy in front and is quite trusted by the fourth brother, and her daughter is inevitably pampered and spoiled in the hidden mansion, making waves, as long as it does not hinder the deployment of the fourth brother. The fourth sister-in-law never competed with her, and let her turn the clouds and rain in the hidden mansion. Although the fourth brother naturally likes the fourth sister-in-law in his heart, I don't want you to live like that. ”
Princess Xing heard this. I was very useful, so I pursed my lips and chuckled.
King Xing continued: "Prime Minister Han Cheng didn't care about personal gains and losses, and he got a lot of seeds in the south and sent them back to Yanbei. The crown prince and the king are not on good terms, but they can also accept it happily. Actively tested in Yanbei. The minds of these two people are rare in the world, and later there was a shortage of food in Beijing, and the morale of the army fluctuated, but the fourth brother always had enough food and grass, and these things could not be done by one person. Besides, although I have a good reputation, I am also burdened by fame all the time. ”
Princess Xing couldn't help but ponder secretly when she heard this, and thought for a while before she whispered, "It's me who dragged you down." ”
King Xing laughed. Holding her in his arms, he said, "It's good that you know, and you can be better to me in the future." ”
Princess Xing was just about to refute. King Xing had already turned over and pressed over, and there was a whining sound in the warm tent.
After another three or five days, Zhou Chong, the son of the king of Zhou and the king of Zhou, entered Beijing, and the saint put a family banquet in the palace for the king of Xing, and the king and Zhou Chong and others took the wind and washed the dust.
Queen Lang was wearing beige and gold-woven homely clothes, and while the female relatives next to her had not yet come, she quietly asked Princess Xing: "Have you seen Miss Xia?" ”
Princess Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I really didn't expect it." She used to go to my house when she was a child, and I didn't recognize her mother at all. Sister-in-law, do you recognize it? ”
Empress Lang shook her head: "I met Miss Xia once earlier, she was in charge of the housework at that time, and she was wearing men's clothes, I looked familiar, but I didn't think about those old things." ”
Princess Xing couldn't help sighing, took the queen's hand and sighed: "This child is also pitiful, my mother had a birthday before, she just sat and socialized for a while, and she was a little in good spirits, and then she simply quit." Imperial sister-in-law, you don't know, she was clever when she was a child, she didn't lose to Li'er in riding and shooting, and she didn't know how to do it, her body was so ......"
Zhou Li was greeting Zhou Wei on the side, and he was unhappy when he heard this: "Mother, she is light, ride a horse quickly, shoot arrows, and it would be good to shoot out of the door of the inner room from here." In his heart, he was not very happy that his mother would talk to outsiders about Miss Xia's health, and he thought a little gloomily: "Yun Niang is naturally good, and the two of us often talk and laugh together." But after all, I've liked Miss Xia for many years, maybe... In a few years, my heart will not be so uncomfortable. ”
Zhou Wei remembered that she dangled the shot earlier, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle saved her some face, I saw with my own eyes that the arrow flew so far down the wind, and it fell to the ground." Zhou Wei even said with a gesture, and everyone couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing, and they were silent.
However, Princess Xing and Zhou Li didn't know the inside story, and when they saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, they talked about the marriage of the county lord Jing, and the embarrassed county lord Jing was in a hurry to avoid it. Fortunately, a few more princes entered the palace one after another, and Zhou Chong was the only one left in King Zhou's family, so the sage pulled him to say a few more words. Remembering the things of the past, I couldn't help but shed a few tears, and several princes were even more affectionate, hugging Zhou Chong and crying bitterly, and at the end of the day, he naturally knelt on the ground again, thanking the fourth brother Shengming for saving the blood and blood of the Zhou family.
After a while, the meal was served, and the saint used a round table in order to get the color of the family reunion, and there was no main seat, and everyone was divided into two seats, men and women, and the group sat down. The saint thought that when the first emperor was there, the family banquet always had to be set up with seven or eight tables, and today because the king of Pingnan was still stationed in the southwest, and several other county kings stayed in the fief to guard the family business for several princes, today's family banquet became more and more deserted.
Fortunately, several princes and princes of the counties were very interested, and praised the prince and Zhou Zhen, the king of An, and Zhou Yun, the king of Pingnan, and they were also happy. Seeing that the banquet was about to disperse, Wen Xi, who was standing behind the saint, suddenly saw a waiter leaning out slightly outside, and glanced at him, Wen Xi was stunned and hurriedly paced out.
King Xing and King Dai glanced at Wen Xi, and saw that the atmosphere was very good at this time, so they gave Zhou Chong a look, and Zhou Chong had no choice but to salivate and smile: "Uncle Huang, speaking of which, I am also in my twenties, if it is that farmer's house, the children are all running all over the ground." But I don't even have a daughter-in-law now, so I ask my uncle and aunt to find a suitable person, so that we can start the royal branch as soon as possible. ”
Several imperial uncles laughed when they heard this, and the saint couldn't help laughing, nodded and thought seriously: "Virtuous nephew, what candidate do you have in mind?" ”
Zhou Chong thought about it, and said with a red face: "Where does the little nephew understand such a thing, I want to be able to give birth." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard him say it bluntly, and several princesses also laughed on the side and wondered which little lady of their own family was suitable. At this time, Wen Xi suddenly walked in from outside with a calm face, and whispered a few words in the saint's ear, and the saint listened to his words, and immediately changed his face, and said: "Immediately send my message and send Sun to escort to Xia's house." ”
King Xing and the others didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "State affairs are important, everyone has eaten almost, and now there is a fourth brother, let's come to Japan for a long time." ”
The saint had calmed down at this time, and said in a low voice of hatred, "It's not a big deal. ”
For a while, everyone didn't leave, and it didn't stay, Queen Lang was busy giving the concubines a look, and the ladies followed her into the inner room. The sage glanced at a few princes and county kings and sighed: "The Xidu people actually infiltrated Jicheng and killed Chen Ze, who joined the army, and the most hateful thing is that he also hung his head on the city wall to show the public. ”
For a while, several princes and county kings couldn't help but show their horrors, thinking: "What kind of hatred does this need to do such a vicious thing, it's not enough to kill people, but also to whip corpses to vent their anger." ”
Zhou Wei and Zhou Chong hurriedly turned over and knelt down to ask for battle, Zhou Li also knelt down when he saw it, and the three of them said in unison: "The ministers are willing to go to Beihan to avenge Chen's joining the army." ”
King Weixing lowered his head and thought secretly: "The two sides have been discussing peace for more than half a year, why did they suddenly attack Chen to join the army." It was Chen who died in the army, and the fourth brother heard why he sent guards to Xia's house. I remember the battle at the border pass, and it was General Xia who was in charge, but it was the Lan family who was the assistant, and Chen Ze just accompanied the king of Yidu County to patrol the border and happened to meet the Xidu garrison. Moreover, the Lan family also has a house in the capital, and Lan Guogong also brought two sisters-in-law to Beijing to congratulate him at this time, why didn't the fourth brother mention sending someone to their house to guard. ”
At this time, another chamberlain came in: "There is a little servant in the Xia family's mansion who has been waiting outside the palace, and Sun escorted them out just to meet them." It is said that there is a military intelligence. ”
The saint sank like water and nodded.
After a while, the chamberlain brought a small servant in, presumably waiting outside for a long time, his nose and cheeks were red from the cold, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed first, and then said: "The small one is the little guy in General Xia's mansion, named Dacheng, today the sixth master sent someone to send a letter, I heard that several teams of people were sent into Beijing, this team is dedicated to the girl in the house to send a letter, the second master thought about it for fear that other people would encounter something to delay, so he hurriedly let the little one wait at the palace gate, but happened to meet Sun Escort out." ”
The saint said: "You go back to tell your second master, and the person who delivered the letter to the military aircraft department has also arrived." ”
The little guy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said: "Our girl made a mistake two days ago, and the people in the house turned over on their backs, and yesterday I found an old gentleman who said that it could be cured, and the family rushed over in a hurry, and now there are only the second and eighth masters in the house." The second master means that if they can come, they will happen to make a decision. But I was afraid that they did not run to our house, but chased them to the road to rob the girl. Thanks to the sage wisely sending Sun Escort over, the second master will be a little stretched. ”
As he was talking, the outside and the inside reported: "General Xue has an important military situation." ”
The saint hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”
After a while, Xue Yu walked in quickly, saluted, and said: "Zhehe deceived me too much, and I am willing to lead the troops to sweep away the Zhehe tribe with General Xia." (To be continued......)
