"What are you two talking about?" Qi Yu walked over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tang Guxi smiled: "Say...... said that the two of you, Qihu are equal, no matter how big or bottom, it's just that my master's last move is surprisingly successful, it's really wonderful! Qi Gongzi, this is far from being comparable to you......"
"Hahahaha......" Qi Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said after the laughter stopped, "Your master is extremely smart, Qi is indeed ashamed of himself." ”
After that, Lin Luo walked over, picked up the scabbard leaning against the tree, inserted the Moyang sword into it, raised his head and said: "Gu Xi, today's sword will be practiced here first, if it is a while, come back next time." ”
"I'm afraid there won't be time next time." Qi Yu suddenly said, "Before I came, Ye Ying told me that the king asked the three of you to enter the palace tomorrow. ”
"Tomorrow?" Lin Xun exclaimed, "No...... Didn't you say a few more days? ”
"When the king said that when is when, not to mention, there is no harm in the three of you entering the palace a few days earlier to meet each other. Now that the New Year is approaching, I am afraid that there are many things to be busy in the palace, and as soon as the New Year is over, you can prepare to go west to Qiaojiang. If General Sima has not come back by then, I will take the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to the western border, and Liang Qiao's battle is inevitable, so he should be stationed as soon as possible. ”
"But...... Will the king agree? Lin Luo hesitated, "After all, the affairs of the two countries need to be cautious, and if you take the lead in stationing here, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the army, and even-"
"You don't know our king," Qi Yu smiled lightly, "Qiao Jiang is constantly making trouble, and the border is full of disputes, so Qiao Guo has coveted my Liangyu Western Realm for a long time, the king...... I just wanted to teach them a lesson earlier. Qi Yu lowered the voice of the last sentence.
Hearing this, Lin Luo and Lin Xuncai nodded.
"Su Wen Liangyu and Qiao Jiang are in the same breath, sharing weal and woe, there has been no war for hundreds of years, why have there been continuous conflicts in recent years?" Tang Guxi wondered.
"The general trend of the world is that if you divide for a long time, you will be united for a long time, and you will be divided for a long time, especially for the two countries that are bordering each other. Strife is a common thing, but hundreds of years of stability are a miracle. Qi Yu said in a whisper, "What's more, it was Qiao Jiang who tore up the covenant first, and the former friendship, to put it bluntly, relied on the marriage of the nobles between the two countries." And now that the blood is cut off, the in-laws have been around for a long time, and they no longer take this seriously. ”
Tang Guxi nodded thoughtfully, "I understand." ”
"Okay, let's go back, take a good bath and freshen up, and enter the palace tomorrow to meet the king."
At this time, it was during the Liangyu Ruiqian period, the king of Ruiqian was more than sixty years old, and he was already an old man, but he was still as tough as ever, and all the ministers said that the king was clear and reasonable, and his demeanor was back then. It's just that to the strange of all civil and military officials, the position of the lord of the harem has been vacant, and since the unfortunate death of the queen nineteen years ago, the harem has never had a queen.
In the past nineteen years, whether it is the advice of the courtiers or the persuasion of the concubines, Rui Qian has always ignored it and entrusted all the affairs of the harem to Princess Zhao. That Princess Zhao is the sister of Zhao Hou, and Zhao Hou is the only marquis of Liangyu Kingdom, so she is deeply valued by the king. The events of the previous dynasty alluded to the harem, Princess Zhao has been the master of the harem all these years, and her son is also the eldest son of the king, and he is also the current prince. It's a pity that the prince is fat-headed, big-eared, mediocre, only knows how to drink and have fun all day long, indulges in beauty, and doesn't pay any attention to the affairs of the court, which has also made the king more and more dissatisfied over the years.
As for the vacancy in the back position, in the past few years, it has been quite boiling, and there have been constant discussions. But over time, no one mentioned this matter anymore, whether it was in the government or in the streets.
The queen's seat is like a king who has been waiting for someone all his life, but has never waited.
In the Hall of Dawn, Rui Qian sat on the throne behind the desk, and the folds in front of him were rolled one after another, all the approved ones were placed on the right side, and the unapproved ones were listed on the left side. His temples were white, his expression was solemn, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he carefully corrected the folds under his hands, and did not smile. An elderly man was on the right, with a calm face and a light eye.
The huge hall has the sound of needles falling, and the stove and incense burner are placed in many places, so that the heating in the hall is overflowing and the incense is curling.
Outside the hall, Qi Yu led the three of Lin Luo from the wide and lofty long steps, and the little eunuch guarding the door saw them and asked with a smile: "Young General, you have been running very diligently in the palace in the past two days, are these three?" ”
Qi Yu stood still and said, "You don't need to ask more, go inside and report to the king, saying that I brought people." ”
The eunuch glanced at the three men behind him, nodded, turned and pushed the door open, and walked in.
After a while, the eunuch walked out of it, "Young General, the king has a decree to let the three of you enter the palace immediately." ”
Qi Yu nodded and walked into the hall with the three of them. The king on the throne in the distance did not look up, but still bowed his head and drew something, as if he had not heard any movement. He gazed at the recital calmly, his eyes dark, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was contemplating.
"The last will meet the king." Qi Yu said loudly, clenching his fists and kneeling.
"The people's daughter Lin Luo pays a visit to the king."
"The people's daughter Tang Guxi visits the king."
"The grass people are looking for the king to meet the king."
The three of them knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and said.
However, what was waiting was silence. Lin Luo and the three of them still lowered their heads, waiting for the king to speak, but Qi Yu couldn't help but look up, and saw that the king was still bowing his head and writing, so he moved his eyes to the father-in-law who was standing aside.
The father-in-law met Qi Yu's gaze, tilted his head slightly, glanced at the king, and then moved his gaze to Qi Yu's face, smiling and shaking his head.
After a while, the king breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the four people under the seat, his eyes lingered on them, and said slowly: "Get up." ”
"King Xie." All four stood up from the ground.
"King, this is Lin Luo and Lin Xun, from Xizhou. This Tang girl is their friend, Sheng Geren. ”
The king nodded, his eyes moving slowly, and crossed the faces of the three of them. However, when his gaze fell on Tang Guxi's face, his body was suddenly stunned, and then, his bottomless eyes seemed to stir into a storm and storm, and the storm stirred. His face changed drastically, and his hands on the table also used force, as if he wanted to cut the table into it.
This reaction surprised everyone present, Lin Luo and Qi Yu were faintly worried, thinking that Tang Guxi had done something wrong, so they looked sideways at her. Even the father-in-law, who had always been calm and calm, was all surprised at this moment, looked at the king, and then looked at the maiden under the hall, but he couldn't see the slightest thing.
When Tang Guxi first saw the king staring at him, he also thought that there was something wrong with his dress, but he looked down at his body and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary. So she looked up at the king again, but saw that everyone was looking at her with suspicion and frowning slightly, and this time, her originally unflustered mood also became panicked.
"The King?" The father-in-law couldn't help but scream softly, "King? ”
"You...... What is it called? The king spoke in a hurried tone, staring at Tang Guxi and asked.
Tang Guxi swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and said, "Minnu...... Tangu Creek. ”
"You...... Where are you from? ”
"Folk Girl...... The folk girl is a singing Linqing people. ”
"Sheng Ge...... Linqing ......" The king finally withdrew his gaze, but he began to become sluggish, and muttered, "Sheng Ge...... You—You say you're a singer? ”
"Exactly."
The king's gaze no longer swayed, his body froze, and he was stunned for a moment before his face gradually soothed, "Ah...... It turned out to be a singer, I ...... I was dazzled. ”
The four people below don't know why.
The father-in-law smiled and said: "The king has been watching the music for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be dazzled, so it is better for the old slave to call his subordinates-"
"No need." The king waved his hand, picked up the hot tea from the corner of the table, lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip.
After putting down the teacup, he sighed and looked at the four people below again, but his eyes no longer looked at Tang Guxi, as if he was afraid of being swept into that torrent again. Instead, he looked at Lin Luo and Lin Xun intently, and said after a while: "The two knights are quite famous in Kyoto, and I have long heard that you two live in the Qi General's Mansion, but for several days, I have been busy with government affairs, so I have not summoned you for a long time. If it weren't for Qi Yu reminding me a few days ago, I'm afraid I would have delayed it until after January. ”
"The King...... There are many opportunities for the day, and it is an honor for me and my younger brother to make the king hang his teeth. ”
"You can't be more modest." The king said with a smile, "Major General Qi is a heroic general unmatched in my Liangyu Dynasty, and he has made great achievements on the battlefield with his father, and he has made countless achievements. Even my princes have no one to compare with him, but now they have been subdued by your little woman. It can be seen that the Lin Lady is worthy of her name. ”
"The king is really falsely praised, the folk girl is just learning from General Qi Shao in martial arts, but if it is placed on the arrangement of troops and the leading of the army, the folk girl will know nothing. We have different emphasis, so we can't compare them. ”
The king stared at her, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and looked at Qi Yu, "Qi Yu, do you have anything to say about this?" ”
"The last general thinks that Miss Lin has unique skills, although she has never been on the battlefield, it does not mean that she cannot be molded into a talent in the army. Therefore, the king can rest assured that the person chosen by Qi Yu will definitely satisfy the king. ”
"Oh? Hearing you say this, I want the Lin family to be like you...... Got on the battlefield? ”
"The last general has no intention of doing so." Qi Yu smiled, "It's just that since ancient times, female generals have been heroic, and those who gallop on the battlefield may not be inferior to men." In my opinion, Miss Lin does have the momentum of not letting her eyebrows go, and it is not impossible to follow the army. ”
As he spoke, Lin Luo's expression became nervous, and Lin Xun, who was standing on the side, also realized something, but he couldn't understand why for a while.
"Hahaha......" the king laughed, turning his head to justice, "invite them to a seat, I should also talk to these young people." By the way, let's also discuss what you will do this time. ”
[digression] 1, small mistake ~ I think it's better to explain: In the digression at the end of chapter 84, the last sentence somehow has two more words, originally said "as long as you have been on the line", but it turned out to be "as long as you give me all the time......
