Chapter 118: Sealed
The confrontation between the north and south border gates ended in a draw between the two sides, and everyone was happy except for Situ Jinwei's loss of one hundred taels.
Of course, the happiest is none other than Nanling Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng.
The foundation of the Nanling Kingdom for hundreds of years, the past dynasties are garrisoned by the Korean General's Mansion in the south, and the Jianguo Mansion in the north to defend against the enemy, so it is known as the North Yang of South Korea.
As a far-sighted emperor, what Xuanyuan Sheng feared most in his heart was not that these two mansions were highly meritorious.
Now he is in his prime, and under his careful governance, Xuanyuan Kingdom is now considered a peaceful and prosperous age.
It's just that there is no internal trouble, but there are two major rivals in the north and south, and they are always eyeing the Nanling country of Fuze.
Therefore, what Xuanyuan Sheng is most worried about is not the monstrous exploits of the Jianguo Mansion and the General's Mansion, but what he is most afraid of is that with the changes of the times, the advent of the prosperous era, there will be no talent in these two mansions.
Now it seems that he is too worried!
Today, I can see the three generations of old, middle-aged and young military generals in these two provinces, the older generation is still old and strong, the middle-aged are in the prime of life, and the new generation is thriving, and I am afraid that no one will protect the family and defend the country?
After the battle between the soldiers at the border gate, it was the turn of the ladies in Kyoto to perform.
Today, there are not only young courtiers in the court, but also handsome soldiers who have just returned from the border pass.
Those ladies who are already old or about to reach the end of their age, in order to get a good marriage, naturally will not miss this great opportunity to show their talents, so they have recommended themselves to perform on stage, and show their most proud talents in front of everyone.
With such an opportunity, Situ Jiao, who had just returned home, naturally wouldn't come up, she just sat beside Han with a smile, quietly listening to Han's chatting with Chen, Fang and others, and whispering a few words to Han Xiuya from time to time.
The opportunity to appear first was naturally given to the royal princess first.
Although Emperor Nanling had many concubines in the harem, there were not many surviving children.
In addition to the adult crown prince, there are three minor princes who are not more than twelve years old.
There are five princesses, the eldest princess has become married, and the second princess has not yet married, but she is already famous.
The remaining three princesses. Except for the third princess, who will be married next month, the other two princesses are not yet ten years old, so the opportunity for the royal princess to appear has become the third princess's bag.
Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the theme of the event is to clean up the dust for the founding of the country and General Han and celebrate the victory at the border pass.
For the occasion. The third princess came to the stage and played a song "Guangling San".
The three princesses are very skillful, and the song "Guangling San" is played magnificently, which makes people feel impassioned heroism in their hearts, which is very suitable for today's atmosphere.
The second to come to the stage was Zhou Yaqi, the granddaughter of Mrs. Zhou's family.
The crown princess is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhou's eldest son, and Zhou Yaqi is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhou's second son. It is the cousin of the crown princess, slightly younger than the third princess, and next May and Xu, it is the age when it is time to say goodbye.
Zhou Yaqi performed a dance, I saw that she was light, showing everyone's demeanor in her gestures, and when she finally closed the momentum, her eyes flashed in a certain direction.
Situ Jiao followed her gaze, and it was the youngest civil officials of the dynasty sitting in that direction, but Yang Lingxiao, Han Pengcheng and other generals seemed to be also in that direction. I just don't know if she is Wen or Wu?
However, no matter who Zhou Yaqi likes, it has nothing to do with herself, so Situ Jiao just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, and continued to chat with Han Xiuya beside her.
Although Han Xiuya has already reached the stage and has not yet decided to marry, she has no intention of going on stage to show her hand this time, not that she has no talent to show, but she is just unwilling to join in the fun.
Although she is already in time, perhaps in the eyes of some people, she may be a big problem. However, Han Xiuya, who grew up in the southern border pass, has her own free and easy.
Don't look at her delicate and weak, but her temperament is unusually hearty, and she thinks she can't run. It's not that she can't grasp it, everything is natural is the foundation of being a human being.
In the first stage of the talent show, a total of five ladies were on stage, and the talents of the performances were different, and they also had their own characteristics, it was difficult to say who was better and who was inferior, and naturally they all won the applause of the audience.
When the eunuch director Zhang De's unique voice sounded in the racecourse again. The riding and archery competition entered the competition between the children of various families in Kyoto.
Although the children of these families all know some riding and archery skills, most of them are mere formalities, and it is difficult to stand out compared with the border soldiers.
There are only two or three people who are relatively good, and Situ Yang is one of them, and he is worthy of the ten days or so of intensive training that he joined the Yulin Guard.
"The level of cavalry and archery of the children of our Kyoto family is not comparable to that of the soldiers at the border gates, except for Yang'er and the grandson of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, I really can't look at it." Chen whispered to Han Shibi, which can be regarded as saying everyone's heart.
After the competition of the children of the Kyoto family, it was the performance of the ordinary soldiers in the Yulin Guard, and the performance was arranged with a very atmosphere, and the leaders were naturally Yang Lingxiao and Han Pengcheng, which brought the originally somewhat dull atmosphere into a new **.
"Good!" Xuanyuan Sheng applauded again and again.
The Yulin Guards were tasked with defending the Imperial City, and after watching the cavalry of the children of the family, Xuanyuan Sheng was really worried that if there was any emergency in Kyoto, the Yulin Guard, with the children of the family as the main force, would not be able to deal with it.
Now it seems that although most of the people in the Yulin Guard are not capable of doing so, the overall strength after complementing each other is still not satisfactory.
It can be seen that after Yang Lingxiao and Han Pengcheng took over the Yulin Guard, they still put in a lot of hard work, but in just half a month, they have found an effective way to improve the strength of the Yulin Guard.
Xuanyuan Sheng was happy, so he waved his hand and ordered several holy decrees of reward.
Among them, there was a holy decree that made Han and Situ Jiao happy, but it made the old lady and Situ Jin so depressed that they almost vomited blood, that is, the holy decree of sealing Situ Yang as the prince of the Marquis of Anning.
The position of the prince of the Marquis of Anning, who had been vacant for six years, finally fell to Situ Yang.
"Grandmother, didn't you say that the position of the son of the world should be determined when Andi grows up? Why did you set up a son today? Situ Jin, who had been focusing on Yang Lingxiao, suddenly felt bad after hearing the holy decree of appointing Situ Yang as the prince, and looked at the old lady with a blue face and asked puzzled.
Situ Jin's words once again attracted the attention of the nearby ladies to the old lady and Situ Jin.
The old lady was originally so angry that she didn't want to because Emperor Nanling unexpectedly appointed Situ Yang as the prince at this time, and she couldn't wait to rush to Situ Yang's side and tear apart the holy decree of the prince.
But that was the will of the saint, even if she had the courage to swallow this breath, but she didn't expect Situ Jin to be arrogant and break her usual calculations with the Xiaolin clan.
So the old lady was really angry this time, glared at Situ Jin fiercely, and reprimanded: "Shut up!" No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak! ”
Han Shi turned his head to look at the old lady for a long time, and the sarcasm in his eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve. (To be continued.) )
