The eight thorns that were bought succeeded to the throne, the year name Tianyuan, and the history was called Tianyuan Emperor. After Emperor Tianyuan ascended the throne, he immediately gave his father Emperor Xuanguang and his mother a funeral burial, and at the same time suppressed all kinds of Mongolian tribes.

Hu Shanwei, who was taking care of the pen and ink by Emperor Hongwu's side, heard the national letter read out by the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, his face was calm, his heart was already turbulent, and the beads of sweat in his palms were wet, what should I do? Miaoyi and King Yan came together after a lot of hardships, how could she be willing to go to Beiyuan and kiss?

Fortunately, harmony is a major national event, and Emperor Hongwu did not respond on the spot. Hu Shanwei went to the imperial dining room and personally made a box of butter snails, this time she used peach blossom powder to dye the top of the snails, and the snails looked like peaches.

The ghee snail was quickly sent to Zhan Yuan, where the Wei Mansion was located, and it was rare that the townspeople and friends were still worried about themselves, Xu Miaoyi was in a good mood, and rewarded the little palace maid who sent food.

After eating a small half, Xu Miaoyi bit open half of the bubble snail, and there was actually a piece of paper sealed with candle oil inside!

Xu Miaoyi unfolded it and took a look, her face immediately sank like water, she threw the paper ball and candle oil into the brazier together, looked at the remaining half box of ghee soaked snails, and muttered: "No wonder we made the shape of a peach, it turned out that we were ready to escape at any time......"

In the palace, Queen Ma accompanied Emperor Hongwu for lunch, they were all from the grassroots, married husband and wife, there were no rules of food and sleep, Queen Ma held a bowl of soup and handed it to Emperor Hongwu, "The emperor has a bad appetite today, has something on his mind?" ”

Emperor Hongwu's food was tasteless, and because of the friendship of his old wife, he drank the soup in one go, and sighed: "The one who bought Liba assassinated the imperial uncle who was vying for the throne, and he has succeeded to the throne and sent an envoy to ask to marry a Ming noblewoman as the queen." ”

The eight thorns he bought were held hostage in Daming for four years, and Queen Ma was very familiar with him, so she was a little surprised, "So fast?" It's really a good appearance of a Kannon boy who was born, and he is so ruthless. He asked to marry the noble daughter of the Ming Dynasty as the queen, which should be a gesture of goodwill, so that the border can get a short period of peace. ”

Emperor Hongwu said: "But the person he wants to marry is Xu Miaoyi." ”

The chopsticks in Queen Ma's hand were stunned, and she lost her appetite, she put down the chopsticks and said coldly: "Xu Miaoyi will soon be our royal daughter-in-law, the eight thorns she bought are not sincerely asking for marriage, he is obviously here to find trouble!" ”

Emperor Hongwu said: "The holy decree of marriage has not been issued yet, and Xu Miaoyi is not our daughter-in-law." ”

Queen Ma was shocked and asked, "What does the emperor mean...... The emperor should not forget, our Shiro will not marry Xu Miaoyi. ”

Emperor Hongwu said: "Xu Miaoyi is unruly, she ...... She is not suitable to be a princess. ”

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi's marriage has gone through several twists and turns, and the root cause is Emperor Hongwu's jealousy and suspicion of the former Xie family, as well as Zhu Shouqian's jealousy and suspicion. Coupled with Xu Miaoyi's unyielding character, Emperor Hongwu was much more dissatisfied with her than appreciative, and always felt that she was not worthy of being Princess Yan.

Queen Ma knew what her husband meant, but now, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi vowed not to separate, and Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, also acquiesced.

Queen Ma said: "My temperament is also strong, does the emperor think that I am not suitable to be a queen?" ”

Emperor Hongwu hurriedly said: "How can Xu Miaoyi be compared to you, you are my wife, you have been in the same boat for decades, except for you, no one is worthy of being the queen." ”

Queen Ma persuaded: "The same rice raises hundreds of people, and there are thousands of personalities, each character has its own bad and good sides." In fact, to be honest, Xu Miaoyi's personality is quite temperamental to me, such a girl is not gentle and virtuous enough, but she can hold up the family, withstand things, and resist the wind and rain, it is rare that Shiro also likes her. ”

There is another sentence that Queen Ma didn't dare to say: Even if Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi were separated, with Xu Miaoyi's violent temper, she would go to Beiyuan and kiss, she would have resentment, and she might not be able to go to the mother country in the future.

Emperor Hongwu said: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, and the order of my parents, could it be that I sent Xu Miaoyi to Beiyuan and relatives, and Shiro was dissatisfied and resentful of me?" There are so many ladies in the capital, I don't believe it, there is no better lady than Xu Miaoyi! ”

Empress Ma did not argue with Emperor Hongwu head-on, and said according to her husband's words: "The emperor is right, marriage is a major event, the order of her parents, Xu Miaoyi is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei after all, I want to ask the Duke of Wei what he means." ”

Emperor Hongwu immediately announced that Xu Da had an audience.

Xu Da accompanied his daughter at home, the father and daughter were walking in the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms, and the emperor was the little eunuch Wang Jinghong, Xu Da immediately went back to the room to change into civilian clothes, put on a red court dress, put on a five-beam gauze crown, and tidy up his appearance.

Xu Miaoyi stood on tiptoe and gave Xu Da a positive five-beam crown with her own hands, Xu Da thought that the emperor was going to officially marry Miaoyi and Zhu Di, with mixed feelings on her face, and with reluctance, she advised:

"The emperor announced that I entered the palace for your marriage. You should dress up at home, dress up in festive clothes, and when the decree of marriage arrives, you will immediately enter the palace to give thanks. ”

Xu Miaoyi knew the truth, and her heart was angry and sour, but she pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Zhu Di is fortunate to marry me, it is his blessing, I entered the palace to thank him, and he also wants to thank his father for his grace." ”

Xu Da couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm going to be a wife, I'm not serious yet, other people's girls are shy and avoid it when they hear about marriage, you joke about your father." ”

Xu Miaoyi held back her tears and said with a smile: "It's good to teach my father to know that even if my daughter gets married, in front of her father, she is still the eldest daughter you like to laugh and laugh in." ”

Father and daughter connected, Xu Da vaguely felt that something was wrong, and then Wang Jinghong urged outside: "Wei Guogong, the hour is not early." ”

Xu Da didn't think much about it, and advised: "Wait at home obediently, don't run around." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Okay, I know, a father is more verbose than a mother." ”

Xu Da was stunned, "You remember wrong, in fact, your mother didn't talk much before, she ...... I was out fighting all year round, and I rarely went home, and she didn't talk much in the days when I went home for reunions, most of the time she quietly looked at me and smiled, sometimes telling me interesting things, and adding 'everything is good at home, no need to worry'. She's never been a talker, but ...... If she can live until now and see you get married with her own eyes, she will definitely talk endlessly. ”

Xu Miaoyi's words froze her words, she tried to recall the past, her mother was already a warm and vague memory, and she had long forgotten her voice and smile.

Xu Da went out, Xu Miaoyi immediately took action, she went to the ancestral hall to see the portrait of Xie under the pretext of missing her mother, and retreated from everyone, and no one was allowed to come in.

Xu Miaoyi changed into the maid's clothes, went out from the back door of the ancestral hall, climbed over the high wall, and as soon as her legs hit the ground, she heard a cold voice say, "Do you want to run there again?" ”

Xu Miaoyi looked up, "Second brother!" You...... What a coincidence, come out to enjoy the snow. ”

Xu Zengshou's fox fur was covered with snow, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

Xu Zengshou glanced at Xu Miaoyi's dress, and there was an indescribable resentment in his eyes, "I heard that you went to the ancestral hall to worship your mother, I felt that something was wrong, and I have been waiting here, in fact, I hope you will not appear...... But you've disappointed me again, I'm about to get married, can't I live at home for a few days? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Second brother, I have something important, I must leave home, leave the capital, and even leave Daming." ”

Xu Zengshou asked, "What's the matter?" It's actually more important than your marriage to Zhu Di? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Yes." Let me go—you can't stop me anyway. ”

Xu Zengshou stretched out his arms and blocked the way, "I can't beat you, but I shouted loudly, there are so many maids and gentlemen in Zhan Yuan, not all of them eat white rice." ”

Now, it is not easy to hide it from Xu Zengshou, Xu Miaoyi said: "The emperor wants me to go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and marry the newly enthroned Emperor Tianyuan. ”

The winter thunder shook and shook, causing Xu Zengshou to retreat again and again, "Impossible!" My father entered the palace because the emperor was going to give him a marriage. ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded, "That's right, it's a marriage, but it's a distant marriage to the eight thorns who bought it, not Zhu Di." Second brother, I won't nod even if I die, except for my relationship with Zhu Di, from ancient times to the present, that woman who is close to me has a good end? I will not be a political victim. ”

Wang Yinnu, including the lord of Yong'an, are all victims of his relatives, and they all end up bleak and involuntarily. Xu Miaoyi did not allow herself to be reduced to the embarrassing situation of looking up to others and being like a sacrifice.

Xu Zengshou's body shook, and he couldn't accept the reality for a while, waving his hands and saying: "No, no, no, the emperor knows that you and King Yan love each other, and you are all privately determined for life, so you are too late to marry Minglu, how can he ...... Sister, did you hear me wrong? ”

Xu Miaoyi was inconvenient to say Hu Shanwei's name, and said vaguely: "It's true, otherwise why am I in a hurry to go out, just now I have released the carrier pigeon to Yanwang's Mansion, we agreed on a place to meet, and we will never come back." ”

Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth, "You are my own sister, no matter what, I will not let you end up like Princess Qin and Wang Yinnu - when will you be able to pass the test by pretending to be a maid, put on the clothes of a little girl, and I will take you away personally." ”

Oh? didn't expect Xu Zengshou to let him go so happily, Xu Miaoyi was stunned in place, motionless.

Xu Zengshou took Xu Miaoyi's hand, "Let's go, I have some private money there, you take it, buy yourself a thick dowry outside, it's better to have a son, and your waist will be hard in front of your husband in the future......"

Jinling North City, Taoyedu.

Zhu Di dressed as a civilian, rented a boat, and was also shocked when he saw Xu Zengshou personally send Miaoyi, and thought that the news had been leaked, Xu Zengshou helped Xu Miaoyi to get on the boat, and said to Zhu Di at the bow of the boat: "Take good care of my sister, she is short-tempered, you should be more patient on weekdays, if you dare to bully her, I will ......"

Thinking that the whip would be beyond his reach in the future, Xu Zengshou suddenly couldn't hold up his brother-in-law's posture, rolled his eyes, and said: "If you dare to bully my sister, I will find trouble with King Zhou and disturb his Baicaotang." ”

A leaf boat sailed out of Taoyedu, Xu Zengshou's tears flowed down, and he sighed: "Alas, my hard-working sister." ”

Jinling City, Longjiang Station, this is the only place to enter and exit the Jinling waterway, Jinyi Wei commanded Mao Xiang to hold a telescope to look at the canopy boat that slowly sailed into the post station, and said: "Keep an eye on them, take it in one fell swoop, don't hurt people." ”

In the imperial study, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, finished reading the national letter of the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Emperor Hongwu asked, "Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Xu Da, who was given a flat seat, stood up, knelt down, and calmly took off the prince's court clothes and five-beam crown.

Emperor Hongwu's face changed, "Aiqing! What are you doing! ”

Xu Da said: "If the emperor orders Miaoyi to go to the family, Weichen will resist the decree, and disrespecting the decree is a capital crime, and Weichen has a gold medal to avoid death, so he can avoid death, but after resisting the decree, although his life can be saved, but the official title and title will definitely not be kept, and this court uniform will be returned to the emperor sooner or later." ”

Emperor Hongwu was so angry that he smoked, "Are you sure that I will agree to Beiyuan's request?" ”

Xu Da said: "Wechen doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, Wechen is just showing his determination, no matter what the emperor decides, Wechen will not agree to send his daughter to peace." ”

Emperor Hongwu was furious, "Could it be that the position of Empress of Northern Yuan has insulted your precious daughter?!" ”

Xu Da said: "Weichen is stupid, but he also understands that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty will never stop, and he will never die, as a Ming general, Weichen will only defend the rivers and mountains." As a father, Wechen will protect his daughter for the rest of his life. Once Xu Miaoyi marries the Northern Yuan, what is Weichen's position? If there is a tragedy of cannibalism between father and daughter, Wechen is willing to die here now. ”

At this time, Mao Xiang came in with a mandarin duck that was tied up like a rice dumpling, "Your Majesty, King Yan and Miss Xu have all been brought." ”

Xu Da looked at his daughter and Zhu Di in surprise, "You...... You ......"

Xu Miaoyi looked at her father, who had taken off her official uniform, and immediately understood her father's choice, and was moved to tears for a while, "Father." ”

Zhu Di looked at Emperor Hongwu coldly, "Father, you have gone back on your word again." ”

Queen Ma also came in, personally untied the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and gave Emperor Hongwu a step down by the way, "You are young, you are so anxious, you don't even know the result, so you run out in a hurry." How could the emperor agree to Beiyuan's rude request? We Daming country, never let an inch of land, the excellent girl of Daming, since she wants to marry the brave son of Daming, the emperor, do you say? ”

Weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Hongwu paused and said to Zhu Di: "Shilang, help Wei Guogong put on his official uniform and give him a seat." ”

Xu Da, who had sorted out his appearance, sat under Emperor Hongwu, who glanced at Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi, who were clasping their hands tightly next to him, and said with difficulty: "I and Qing, cloth and clothes are also handed." Those who are in agreement with ancient monarchs and ministers are married at the rate. Qing has the eldest daughter Xu Miaoyi, who is young and quiet, good at reading, and is called a female student. It is matched with my son. ”

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Emperor Hongwu's words "young chastity and quiet, good at reading, and called female students" were talking about his own daughter, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." 166 Reading Network
