Chapter 130: The Catty of the Sea Breeze Hotel (text)
???
Hearing Ye Tianzhi say that Taiping might participate in his own book, Xue Shao's face changed greatly, and Ye Tianzhi continued: "I'm afraid that your position as a general will be difficult to protect at that time!" β
I saw Xue Shao glaring and said, "I'm not afraid that the emperor will revoke my position as a general, what I'm worried about is my marriage to the princess!" I can do without a position, but I can't live without a princess! β
Hearing Xue Shao say that what he cared about was Taiping, Ye Tianzhi felt a little sad in his heart, and thought, I can let Taiping give you endless glory and wealth, but I can't give you An Ruyue, because she has always been my Ye Tianzhi's woman! This time, Ye Tianzhi really realized Xue Shao's great love for Taiping!
β¦β¦
Outside the hall, Ye Tianzhi, Xue Shao, and Taiping were waiting for the emperor's summons, only to hear that from inside the hall to outside the hall, one by one, the servants who passed the message passed the emperor's will. Taiping took the lead, followed by Xue Shao and Ye Tianzhi, both of whom strode solemnly.
Ye Tianzhi looked at the guards next to him with their heads up, and felt that they were not worse than those soldiers in modern times, but he just didn't know if the solemnity in the hall was also like in the TV series. A woman in a wheelchair, that must be interesting! I just don't know if this woman is also as smart and fierce as she is on TV!
Ye Tianzhi thought as he walked, they crossed a threshold, and then walked into a large hall that looked magnificent. On this occasion, Ye Tianzhi didn't look up lightly, he understood the power! Ye Tianzhi could only scan the qiqi beside him with the peripheral light of his eyes, and suddenly Xue Shao stopped, and then heard Taiping say: "See His Majesty the Emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" Ye Tianzhi saw that Xue Shao and Taiping both knelt down, so he also knelt down!
Then Xue Shao reported himself, Ye Tianzhi didn't know what to say, so he just knelt and didn't speak!
After a long time, I heard a woman voice with a thick voice and a bit of majesty in her timbre: "Taiping, Xue Shao, you can be even!" Ye Tianzhi wanted to stand up as well, but after listening carefully, there was no intention in the emperor's words to let himself stand up too. Ye Tianzhi thought, did the emperor not call me by my name because he didn't know my name, or did she not want me to get up because she originally wanted to? Ye Tian didn't know whether to get up or not, and he was fighting in his heart!
Ye Tianzhi calmed down for a moment, and thought, what are you afraid of, I, Ye Tianzhi, have rubbed shoulders with the god of death several times, are you still afraid of a mere woman? Ye Tianzhi took a deep breath and was about to look up, only to hear the emperor say, "Are you Ye Tianzhi?" The voice was loud and clear, filling the whole temple! Ye Tianzhi instantly felt that the solemnity above the hall could not be performed!
Ye Tianzhi replied calmly: "It's exactly below!" β
"Why do you kneel and not reciprocate!" I only heard the emperor reprimand. Ye Tianzhi jumped, worthy of being the emperor, that voice was powerful and majestic, making you listen to it and be in awe! Ye Tianzhi didn't know how to answer, so he heard Taiping hurriedly reply: "Your Majesty, Ye Tianzhi has never entered the court, and he doesn't know the rules here, because he came in a hurry, and I didn't come to tell him in detail!" Please don't blame the emperor! β
After sweeping for a second, he heard the emperor say: "Since the emperor intercedes for you, Ye Tianzhi, you can be even!" β
Ye Tianzhi heard that the emperor wanted him to stand up, so he thanked him and stood up. Ye Tianzhi slowly raised his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was Wu Zetian's yellow robe, golden and shiny, just like the yellow dragon scales on the dragon's body! Then Ye Tianzhi saw the face that could scare away all the officials in the hall with a frown! That kind of look, that kind of look made Ye Tianzhi feel the solemnity and majesty of a woman who ruled the whole country!
After Ye Tianzhi stood up, the emperor asked Taiping: "I have heard about the general situation of the war, you were born as a daughter, but you have the same mind and ambition as a man, in the face of the enemy, you can calmly command, not afraid of the pursuit of the Huns!" Taiping, your courage is good! All the princes must be as strong and persevering as the peace! Then I'm in peace with the whole Zhou! β
As soon as the emperor's words were finished, all the courtiers bowed their heads and listened to the training!
"Xue Shao led the army to attack the Huns, not for the hardships and dangers, he was calm in the face of the enemy's two-sided attack, and finally won a complete victory! Active! The Emperor continued.
The emperor turned his head to Ye Tianzhi and looked at it carefully, Ye Tianzhi's gaze unfortunately confronted the emperor's gaze, that kind of gaze made Ye Tianzhi feel cold all over his body, Ye Tianzhi hurriedly lowered his head, and then heard the emperor speak: "Ye Tianzhi is the guard of Taiping, the enemy is current, you can stick to your duty and swear to protect the safety of Taiping!" Active! Ye Tianzhi thought, why is the emperor just listing merits, could it be that people in ancient times could have more merit than demerits as long as they won battles on the battlefield and cover up their mistakes?
Ye Tianzhi was pondering carefully, only to see the emperor mention Yan SΓΉ's voice and say, "Although your merits are good, Xue Shao." Seeing that the emperor paused, Xue Shao heard the emperor call his name, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is here!" β
"Do you know what your responsibilities are?" The Emperor continued.
I saw Xue Shao's cold sweat on his head, lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Attack the Huns, defend the territory, and defend the princess!" β
"What a defender of the territory, the princess!" The emperor said in a stern voice, his voice was a little softened, and then he saw the emperor stand up, shook his yellow robe and said: "This expedition, I will let Taiping be your main general, but the main generals are not well protected, how can you defend my Great Zhou territory!" β
After speaking, Xue Shao hurriedly knocked his head on the ground and pleaded: "The minister is guilty!" Failed to defend the princess! β
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you can't blame Xue Shao for this, I am also responsible! It was I who was too careless and did not expect the Huns to attack in the rear! Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor not to blame General Xue! Taiping pleaded.
Ye Tianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the persuasion along the way was not in vain, Taiping still forgave Xue Shao, and also pleaded in front of the emperor! Xue Shao's position as general seems to be expected to be kept!
"Well, okay, although Xue Shao was negligent in his duty and failed to protect the princess in time, it was also because Taiping's order was not in time! You can't blame Xue Shao entirely! The Emperor said with a fixed mind.
Ye Tianzhi looked at Xue Shao, he was a little trembling, but when he heard that the emperor did not punish him, he was greatly relieved. Ye Tianzhi thought that Taiping asked for him, Xue Shao's heart must have blossomed, and he didn't have to worry that Taiping would regret his marriage. But Xue Shao was too proud!
Under the persuasion of Ye Tianzhi, Taiping still did not recruit Xue Shao back to the army, and Xue Shao told the emperor about his resistance! Ye Tianzhi thought that the affairs of the court should develop as he thought.
"Now that Taiping has completed the task of leading troops to pacify the frontier, then Taiping, you should also accept my marriage!" The Emperor's words had just fallen. I saw Taiping kneeling down and pleading to the emperor: "Your Majesty the Emperor! Sons and daughters beg each other! β
I saw that the emperor turned his head, glanced at Taiping, and then looked at Xue Shao, and those eyes seemed to understand something again. So he turned around and walked to his dragon chair and sat down! said to Taiping: "If you have something, let's talk about it after retreating from the dynasty!" β
Taiping was just about to continue the request, but the emperor continued to speak: "In view of the princess's meritorious combat command, she led the soldiers to drive the Xiongnu out of the border and let them return to their own territory. And these days of fighting are tiring, and the princess's marriage has slowed down! β
Hearing the emperor say that Taiping's marriage was delayed, Taiping breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Tianzhi was taken aback in his heart, she was worthy of being the emperor, she could rule the entire country, not just because of her fierceness! What's important is her wisdom, her super ability to wipe a hole! Seeing the emperor for the first time can make Ye Tianzhi so convinced, what a rare woman this time!
"Xue Shao has a meritorious service in leading the troops! Wan'er is noisy! The Emperor said in a long voice.
Ye Tianzhi was taken aback when he heard the emperor call Wan'er, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a female official in an official uniform standing there with an edict in her hand. Ye Tianzhi took a closer look, it was Shangguan Wan'er, the gentle and beautiful woman who had climbed Snow Lotus Mountain with him!
Ye Tianzhi and Wan'er's eyes met for a second, and then Wan'er shifted her gaze to the edict in her hand, and then opened it and announced the holy decree in a sweet, loud and very majestic voice. Ye Tianzhi stood there blankly, looking straight at Wan'er with his eyes. He didn't understand how this lonely woman, fatherless and motherless, had entered the imperial court and become a female official at the emperor's side!
Ye Tianzhi was staring at Wan'er in deep thought, and inadvertently, Ye Tianzhi suddenly caught a glimpse of Taiping beside him, who was looking at him with a look that wanted to kill him. Ye Tianzhi felt that Taiping must have seen himself looking at Wan'er! So Ye Tianzhi hurriedly focused his spirit on the call: "...... Special reward Xue Shao cloth 1,000 pieces, 10,000 taels of gold. Appreciate the leaves and know the gold of a thousand taels, and give the post of general of the chariot cavalry to guard the Taiping! Chin this! β
After speaking, I saw the emperor stand up, and the eunuch beside him shook the hair handle in his hand and shouted in a sharp voice: "Retreat!" β
Then Ye Tianzhi followed Taiping and Xue Shao, kneeling to send the emperor back, Ye Tianzhi glanced at it secretly, and Shangguan Wan'er also walked back. After the emperor left, all the ministers in the court got up and came to Xue Shao and Taiping's side to congratulate, but no one paid attention to Ye Tianzhi. Ye Tianzhi smiled helplessly, it seems that officials in ancient and modern times are all the same, they are all snobbish! Ye Tianzhi stood up and was about to walk out of the hall and wait for peace outside the hall.
I saw Taiping take the first step to Ye Tianzhi's side, glared at Ye Tianzhi with cold eyes and said, "Ye Tianzhi! Congratulations! As soon as the words fell, Taiping immediately changed his words: "No! It's General Ye! After saying that, Taiping didn't pay attention to the ministers of the imperial court at all, and strode towards the outside of the palace! Ye Tianzhi heard what Taiping meant, she was angry at the reckless look at Wan'er just now. Ye Tianzhi felt a little sad in his heart instantly, knowing that he shouldn't be so reckless, so he quickened his pace and followed Taiping back to Taiping Mansion!
