1214 The deepest ambition, the most ambitious bet
He never expected that Yan Ruyi's attitude would be so firm: "Xia Guogong, I won't tell you, since I came out of the Jinluan Palace, I have been thinking, how should I choose?" On the road, I was in a dilemma and distressed, but when I returned home and saw a pair of daughters' faces, I suddenly understood that my daughter's happiness is the most important thing! ”
Xia Wusheng looked at him in surprise, because he was speechless because he had made such a decision so quickly. XsHuoTXt
Yan Ruyi is really?
"Generalissimo of Northern Xinjiang" is a very remarkable title, that is, he, the Duke of Xia Guogong and a real relative of the imperial family, has to be afraid of three points when facing the generalissimo with heavy troops, Yan Ruyi actually wants to give up such power in order to accompany his daughter?
After a while, he said: "Marshal Yan, it took you more than 30 years to become a generalissimo, and you are highly valued by the emperor, how can you be willing to give up like this?" Besides, when you become a generalissimo, your daughter can enjoy prosperity and wealth, and she can marry a good family, isn't it? If you are no longer a marshal, how will you protect your daughter in the future, and how will you make your daughter live a good life? ”
"It's because I've been in the army for 38 years and neglected my wife and daughter, and now I have to make up for it!" Yan Ruyi let out a long sigh, "Think about it, I have been a soldier for decades, and what did I get in the end?" Not to mention the hardships and dangers, I have been separated from my wife and daughter for many years, I have no son, the eldest daughter is going to become a monk, and the younger daughter is not familiar with me, and if I become this generalissimo again, I will become a loner. You say, "What does it mean for me to be this generalissimo?" ”
Xia Wusheng was bent on pursuing power, and he hadn't thought about this kind of problem at all, and now when he heard someone with more power than him say this, it was like listening to a book from heaven, he couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Yan Ruyi seemed to see through his thoughts: "Xia Guogong, do you think, even if I am the generalissimo of Northern Xinjiang to the end, but I have no sons, no brothers and relatives to inherit my merits, and my daughter refuses to marry and have children, no matter how much military merit and power I earn, who can I leave to?" In case I die on the battlefield, won't my daughter be left alone? And it's so dangerous to be a soldier to fight, I have paid so much, but in the end there is no one to inherit and no one to rely on, why should I fight for this life? It's better to resign like this and come back to accompany your daughter, at least you can enjoy your family when you are old. ”
"But, but ......" Xia Wusheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only said after a while, "Your daughter must get married, how can there be a girl in this world who doesn't marry?" If your eldest daughter does not marry, the younger daughter will definitely marry, and then you will have a son-in-law and grandchildren, and your merits will be inherited, how can you be so pessimistic? ”
"What Xia Guogong said is reasonable." Yan Ruyi, "But my difficulty now is that my eldest daughter has to become a monk, and I can't persuade her, what do you think I can do?" And my youngest daughter is only seven years old, and she is still far from becoming her own son, and seeing that there is another war in Northern Xinjiang, if I continue to be this marshal, will I be able to live until my youngest daughter becomes my own son? You say, is it cost-effective for me to continue to be the generalissimo of Northern Xinjiang? ”
Worthwhile! Why not a good deal? Xia Wusheng saw that he was so "cheap" about military power, and roared in his heart with anger, thousands of people are crazy to get power but can't get it, you have struggled for thirty years to get this qiē, but you dare to say that you will give up, are you tired of playing with "power"?
Those who dare to look down on power in this way, or use power to make such jokes, deserve hell!
Because of his annoyance, he roared: "You are a generalissimo, I don't know how many people you have killed, how many people have been ruined, but now you are shouting about how important your daughter and family are, and what are you pretending to be so that your daughter can give up military power?" What's so difficult about wanting a wife and son, my father will send you a few well-born beauties now, and you will be allowed to have a son next year, don't worry about your merits being inherited! ”
"Thank you Xia Guogong for your kindness." Yan Ruyi sighed, "But I have been fighting for decades, I have been injured, and I am old, I have no strength to deal with women, let alone another son, I can only count on my daughter to give birth to a grandson and give me a hug." ”
Xia Guogong glared at him for a moment, then pointed at him and said, "You say, what kind of son-in-law do you want, I'll find it for you now!" There are so many young talents in the capital, good-looking, well-born and talented, there is definitely more than one emperor, as long as you report the conditions, I will definitely be able to find a satisfactory son-in-law for you! ”
In a short period of time, he suddenly thought that if he could help Yan Ruyi become this matchmaker, not only curry favor in front of the emperor, but also be able to climb the relationship with Yan Ruyi, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
Yan Ruyi shook her head: "Yan'er has made it very clear, either enter the palace as a concubine, or enter the nunnery as a nun, if I don't marry someone else, she will commit suicide, this matter really has nothing to talk about." ”
"How unreasonable!" Xia Wu slapped the table angrily, "How can a daughter be so disobedient to her father and put her father in such a predicament?" You call your daughter out, and my father wants to reason with her, and if you don't believe her, you won't accept her! ”
He hates this kind of disobedient woman the most!
It's enough to have a phoenix Jinghua there, but there's another one here? He can't teach Feng Jinghua a lesson, and he can't teach Yan Ruyi's unfilial daughter?
"Well, she's already moved to a nunnery." Yan Ruyi looked helpless, "I begged the master in the nunnery, and the teacher refused to shave Yan'er, but Yan'er's attitude is very resolute, in my opinion, at the latest three days, Yan'er will definitely be officially shaved, and when the time comes, I really can't leave home." ”
Xia Wusheng stared straight at him, his gaze constantly turning cold.
In the end, it was so cold that the weather was far from the opposite.
"Yan Ruyi," he didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, and said bluntly, "Say, do you have to be the emperor to accept your eldest daughter as a concubine before you are willing to go to Northern Xinjiang to lead the army?" ”
"Yes!" Yan Ruyi was actually very simple, "This is Yan'er's only request, that is, my only request, Xia Guogong and the emperor can understand, if they can't understand, I will disarm and return to the field and be a common man." ”
"Yan Ruyi," Xia Wusheng was furious, but he calmed down and said word by word, "You know that the emperor is most annoyed that others stuff women to him, and you are not afraid of offending the Son of Heaven if you ask for this?" ”
"I'm afraid." Yan Ruyi sighed, "But I'm even more afraid that if I don't fight, I will have nothing when I die on the battlefield or when I go into hiding, and I have suffered for decades in vain." ”
-- This is his true words, and he really can't really be true anymore!
What is he fighting and forgiving for decades?
Not only for the wealth and glory of the second half of his life, but also to completely get rid of the identity of commoners, so that future generations can become real nobles!
And he wants the Yan family to become a nobleman for generations, it is not enough for him to become a generalissimo alone, he must let his daughter marry the top nobles and give birth to a child with noble blood, in order to truly realize the glory of the Yan family for generations!
Therefore, the emperor has become his best goal, and letting his daughter marry the emperor and give birth to the prince and daughter is the best way for him to realize his ambitions.
Especially now, the emperor is young and half-strong, the harem is empty, and he has to guard the northern frontier, if he does not seize this opportunity to accept his daughter as a concubine, he will miss the best opportunity in this life!
He is almost fifty years old, and he doesn't have much time left, so he will either lose a qiē or have a qiē - he will bet all on this bet, and the emperor will definitely compromise!
