Chapter 20 Chanyuan County Lord
September 12th. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yuan Han took Chan'er into the palace to listen to the seal, worship the ancestors, and pray for blessings, and a sealing ceremony tossed for most of the day. At the time of Shen, Emperor Xuan dismissed all the people who attended the ceremony, leaving only Chan'er to accompany him to talk in the inner hall.
Emperor Xuanhuang Yuan Zhao had just passed the age of thirty-nine, and at a time when he was full of ambition and energy, he was diligent in government affairs and devoted himself to serving the people, so he could be said to be a good emperor. It's just that he is the second son of Emperor Xian, every time he thinks of this, Emperor Xuan has a feeling that the name of the throne is not right, coupled with the fact that King Gong Yuanxia, who is the eldest son of Emperor Xian, was martyred in the country, and the whole country has praised it for many years. But generally speaking, Emperor Xuan is good to the entire Prince Gong's Mansion, and he also pretends not to know about Chan'er's recuperation in the Yi Guo Moge Pavilion in the past four years, and is very tolerant.
"Chan'er...... You are the county lord of Chanyuan, can I call you that?" Emperor Xuan said.
"It's all up to you. ”
"Come, sit down beside me. ”
"But ......"
"There are no outsiders here. I only have one child, Yixuan, and Brother Gong died early, and you are half of my daughter. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor. ”
"I've been busy with state affairs all these years, and your health is not good, so you have grown into a big girl unconsciously. If I delay your life's events, how can I explain to Brother Gong?"
"Uncle ...... Emperor"
"I know what you're worried about. You are the only woman in my royal family in the lonely country, and you are the lord of Chanyuan who I love like a daughter, and I will not be sloppy in your marriage, nor do I want to force it. However, it is important to know that the children of the royal family, unlike ordinary people, have the responsibility to choose a marriage that is beneficial to the country. ”
Chan'er understood. ”
"I have carefully considered it, and I hope you can choose one of these three choices: Zhong Liyang Miao, the young master of Zhongli Yuan in Dongshan, the prince of Hengguo, and Yu Nan or Yu Shi, who is also related to you by blood, and ...... Night Country even Shibuya Valley Lord Qu Hanyan or his younger brother Shigu Lord Qu Yuehuai. Emperor Xuan said carefully in a slower voice, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmm. Dongshan Zhongliyuan is a famous family of weapons, but the merchants have multiple benefits, and in order to prevent them from selling the weapons they make to the enemy country privately, it is most effective to rely on marriage to collect them for their own use. ”
"Go on. Emperor Xuan listened with great interest.
"Hengguo...... Although Chan'er has a quarter of the royal blood of Hengguo in her body, this bloodline is too estranged, not to mention that except for a few people close to her, all countries do not know about the relationship between our country and Hengguo. In the face of the constant intrusion of the Yi State and the ambition of the Emperor of the Wei Kingdom to lead his army south at any time, we can only have enough strength to resist the enemy by joining forces with Hengguo. And Chan'er ...... Indeed, he is the best candidate to consolidate the relationship between the two countries. ”
"What about Yeguo?" Hearing this, Emperor Xuan had a new understanding of Chan'er, and couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"Long-range close attack. In case the Heng Kingdom forms a united front with the Wei State or the Yi State for some reason, then we need the help of the Night State. However, the emperor's uncle was not sure about the Imperial Family of the Night Kingdom, so he chose Lian Shibuya, who had a high status in the rivers and lakes, as a reinforcement. ”
"And can you guess which one I'm most looking forward to you choosing?"
"This Chan'er hasn't figured it out yet. ”
"Hahaha, I'm just asking casually, no matter which one you choose, I'll be very satisfied. So the rest is whether you're satisfied or not. ”
"Born in the royal family, even a father may not be able to give so much autonomy to his daughter's marriage, but the emperor's uncle said that Chan'er had three choices, and there were actually five more candidates. Chan'er thank you very much. Chan'er got up and knelt down in front of Emperor Xuan.
"Tomorrow, I will give Yuan Han a will, let him go to Dongshan Zhongli Yuan on the pretext of purchasing armaments, and you will go with him. Let's leave in a few days. I will select ten excellent guards for you, protect you along the way, and it can be regarded as not losing my royal face. If Zhongli Yang Miao is not the person you want to marry, remember to come back in mid-December. Chinese New Year's Eve is the forty-ninth birthday of Emperor Hengguo Rui, and you and Yuan Han will go to congratulate you on your behalf. Emperor Xuan gently patted Chan'er's shoulder and changed the subject, "Good boy, when the business is over, get up." Yixuan has been shouting for his sister to enter the palace since a few days ago, his mother left early, and I am also negligent in my daily life, so you can accompany him more often. ”
"Yes. Xuan'er is a very painful child. That Chan'er retired first. ”
~~~
When Chan'er returned to Prince Gong's mansion, it was already two o'clock.
"See Chanyuan County Lord!" Blocked rut stepped forward and smiled at Chan'er and slapped Qian'er.
"Brother Zhe, don't make trouble. Do you have anything to eat?"
"Why, it's so late, the emperor doesn't leave the county lord for dinner?"
"When I left the Emperor's uncle, he hadn't eaten yet. I'm going to see Xuan'er. But unfortunately, when I arrived at Xiang Xuan Palace, he had just finished eating, and I was always hungry to play with him......"
"Let's eat a snack to make up for it first, and I told the kitchen to stir-fry a few new dishes. Yuan Han pointed to a plate of puff pastry on the table.
"I don't have to do much, I'll just have a little bit of it. There is something more important than eating. ”
"Just wait for you to come back. He pulled a chair and sat down beside Chan'er.
Yuan Han sent someone to the kitchen to spread the word, so he also sat down and listened to Chan'er repeat what Emperor Xuan said in the afternoon.
"How many people in the rivers and lakes can know the names of the Shibuya Valley Lord and the Four Valley Lords, and also know that they are a pair of brothers? I don't know if Yue'er's ten guards were selected for unknown risks in the future. After listening to Chan'er's relay, she sighed to Yuan Han.
"Since they have to deal with the court and the rivers and lakes, each of them should not be idle. Yuan Han also analyzed.
"Can I interrupt and ask?" Chan'er said suddenly.
"What?" said Yuan Han and Plug in unison.
"You all called me 'Chan'er' first, and then changed your name to 'Yue'er'. Uncle Emperor also likes to call me 'Chan'er'...... Why is that?"
Yuan Han and Plug Rut glanced at each other and said:
"Brother Huang once mentioned the matter of sealing you Chanyuan County Lord, I think 'Chan'er' is more unique and atmospheric than 'Yue'er'...... That's what you think, right?"
"Yes, Yue'er, how do you call you if you like us?"
"If you want to call it, you can all call it by one name, or I'll be confused. ”
"That'...... Call you Chan'er?" was so excited that his voice trembled a little.
“…… Not. Chan'er glanced at the two of them a little strangely and replied.
"Haha, where did we just go?" he smiled awkwardly.
"What will happen to these ten people, we should see tomorrow. Yuan Han whispered as he set his eyes on the night sky.
~~~
The next day, Yuan Han entered the palace to receive the holy decree, and when he returned home, he brought back the ten guards assigned by Emperor Xuan to Chan'er.
"Jing Hu, Luo Dong, Huang Feng, Yun Wu, An Liu, Jun Yin, Yang Xin, Yan Wu, Tie Yin, and Qi Hong, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-one years old, were all selected as the imperial guards of the imperial brother after they bloomed in the last internal servant competition. I have seen the skills of most of them, among them, the older Jing Hu and Luo Dong's martial arts are not even under the block, and the youngest Qihong is vaguely superior compared to today's Chan'er. Yuan Han dismissed everyone and said to Ruts and Chan'er.
"With so many masters accompanying you, your safety will not be a problem......" Blocked the rut paused, and then said the second half of the sentence, "I don't need to hide it, there is one person from our Hidden Dust Xuan, Tie Yin." ”
"There are also my people, An Liu and Yan Wu. But the three of us just need to know about it. Huh?"
"Good. Chan'er nodded.
"Although this line has been guaranteed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Besides, Chan'er's study under Guan Zhou's predecessors is already secretive, this time it is better to hide her strength appropriately, and there is hope for a surprise victory when she encounters foreign enemies. Plug Ruts looked at Chan'er and said.
"Then I'll only use half of my martial arts, anyway, I don't usually have a chance to make a move. ”
"When are you going to leave?" said Murphy changing the subject.
"Three days from now. Yuan Han said, "What about you?"
"Accompany you out of the east gate of the lonely capital and break up outside the city gate. You go south, and I and the black crown and the annihilation go north. If you go to Dongshan Zhongli Garden, Dongshan is a must-go road to stretch over a dozen mountain ranges, so be careful of the bandits and robbers at the foot of the mountain, although there will be no major incidents, but it will also be very troublesome. ”
"Will you pass through the territory of Juxu Village? I heard that you and they are mortal enemies. Chan'er asked with a smile.
"It's a feud. Not to mention the far away, it is in recent years...... Now the three major guards in the Xuan, Xue Chi, Shen Luo and Chen Ou, the younger generation will call them Second Brother Xue, Third Brother Shen, and Fourth Brother Chen, and the younger generation will call them Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle or something, do you know why?" ”
"As far as I know, this Liu Bi is still in the Hidden Dust Xuan, and a few years ago, when the people in the rivers and lakes were competing for the treasure map, there were many people who didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of his name. Yuan Han said with some puzzlement.
"But Uncle Liu hasn't appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has hardly interfered in the affairs of Xuannei, and there is a reason for this...... The reason is that he was plotted by Che Wolf Wu, who had not yet become the owner of Juxu Village, and all his martial arts were abolished, and his legs could no longer walk......" He paused for a while before continuing, "Of course, these Che Wolf Wu himself didn't know, he always thought that Liu Bo didn't leave Yinchen Xuan because of the oath he made back then." After that, Uncle Chi and the others attacked Juxu Village in a fit of rage, and cut off one of Che Wolf Wu's arms in the melee, and since then his proudest riding and archery skills have been useless. However, I have to admit that his sword skills are still very good, which is why he can stand in such a position today with only one arm. ”
"What about the rest of the people in Juxu Village?" Yuan Han asked.
"But Erl. Blocking the rut smiled a little contemptuously, "Except for Rong Yi and Si Ze, the martial arts divisions, as well as Rong Rui, the son of Rong Yi, and Da Ye under Si Ze, the rest of the people are almost not worth mentioning. However, Juxu Village has Rongyi, a wise man who is proficient in formation techniques, plus he occupies a favorable location and has a large number of people, so it is not easy to destroy them. ”
