Chapter 54: Commitment (2)
"Your Highness, what are you doing!" General Lou was startled, and hurriedly got up to support His Royal Highness King Rui.
Although His Royal Highness King Rui is not favored by Emperor Taikang, after all, he is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, and he is the orthodox bloodline of the royal family, how can he kneel to him as a second-grade general.
Xiao Zhe refused to get up, he raised his head, stared at General Lou with a pair of deep phoenix eyes, pursed his thin lips, and said the decision that had been made in his heart a long time ago, "General Lou, please promise your beloved daughter Lou Zheng to this king as a concubine!" This king promised in front of you today that he would only marry Lou Zheng in his life, and he would never live up to it! If he breaks his promise, he will make this king doomed forever! ”
General Lou was shocked when he stood in front of His Royal Highness King Rui, and he couldn't help but take two steps back and sit down in his chair.
He never thought that His Royal Highness King Rui would say these words when he left him behind!
How so?
After being extremely shocked, General Lou finally regained some reason after a while.
At this time, the two men he faced were no longer the identities of the royal prince and the general, but a young man and a father who were planning to marry each other's beloved daughters.
General Lou took a deep breath, at this time, he was just defending his beloved daughter's father, "His Royal Highness King Rui, the old man doesn't know why you suddenly made this move, but you are the royal heir after all, although you are not from the queen's mother, but the marriage is not something you can call the shots!" Don't tease my kite! ”
His Royal Highness King Rui seemed to have expected General Lou to ask this question, he was still kneeling, but he calmly took out a bright yellow secret decree from his arms, and presented it in front of General Lou with both hands.
"I know that the Great General doubts my determination and commitment, and I beg the Great General to take a look at this holy decree."
General Lou listened to his sincere tone. After hesitating for a moment, he still took the holy decree in the hands of His Royal Highness King Rui.
As the Holy Aim slowly unfolded in his hand, General Lou's eyes widened and widened, and finally he looked at King Rui who was kneeling in front of him in disbelief.
The young man in front of him was wearing a noble golden crown on his head, and his dark clothes were extraordinary, but at this time, he was sincere and sincere in front of him.
Thinking back to the contents of this secret letter, this King Rui ...... This King Rui actually used the victory in the East China Sea as a bargaining chip, if he succeeded, he could make his own marriage and marry his own Jiaojiao!
A big win in the East China Sea!
As the supreme general of the First Army, General Lou knows better than anyone else the difficulties involved.
If the difficulty of the game is compared to the difficulty of the Northern War and the East China Sea War. The War in the North is a beginner difficulty at best. And the East China Sea War is an advanced difficulty.
The mess that no one dared to pick up in the court was taken over by His Royal Highness King Rui like this, and it became a bet on lifelong happiness?
Is he confident, or is he desperate?
In an instant, countless thoughts passed through General Lou's heart.
It's about her daughter's happiness. He had to be cautious.
"Goodong" swallowed. General Lou asked the young man in front of him in a deep voice. "His Royal Highness King Rui, you have never been on the battlefield, and fighting a war is not something that can be done by talking!"
His Royal Highness King Rui listened to the words of the future father-in-law. There was a smile on his face, "Don't worry about the general, since I can make this promise, I am confident that it can be realized, I only hope that the general can give me such a chance!" ”
General Lou's eyebrows twisted, "His Royal Highness King Rui, although Zheng'er didn't grow up by my side, it is my lifeblood, if you have a lie today, even if it is a holy decree to marry you in the future, I will definitely not let Zheng'er marry you." There is one more thing, I want His Royal Highness to understand, this time the old man returned to Beijing, he did not plan to return to Liangzhou to lead the army, if His Royal Highness has other plans, the old man advised His Royal Highness to rest as soon as possible! ”
Xiao Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what General Lou meant.
His old father-in-law thought that he asked to marry Lou Zheng for the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou in his hands and his connections in the army.
Xiao Zhe shook his head helplessly in his heart, he was not incompetent to this extent, and he wanted to rely on General Lou to get his hands on the soldiers and horses.
This old father-in-law entered Beijing to be entitled, or he suggested it to the emperor! I didn't plan to let General Lou go back to the border to endure hardships.
His Royal Highness King Rui knelt and saluted General Lou, "I, Xiao Zhe, swear in front of the general today that I will never participate in the competition for that position!" Now the general should rest assured! ”
General Lou's eyes shrank, he couldn't imagine that His Royal Highness King Rui could do this, that seat, what that seat, that is the throne, as long as it is the prince, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't think about it, he actually said give up, what kind of bearing is this!
General Lou really doesn't want his beloved daughter to be entangled in the competition for the royal throne, the risk is too great, even if she becomes the most noble woman in the world in the future, the harem is empty, and she will definitely be criticized by the world.
General Lou's eyes staring at Xiao Zhe became more and more complicated, and he squeezed his palm, "His Royal Highness King Rui, I have one last question. ”
"Even if the general asks, as long as I know it, I will definitely not hide anything."
"Your Highness and Zheng'er have never seen each other since childhood, how could they suddenly ask to marry? Isn't that a fantasy? ”
A pair of men and women, who have never seen each other since childhood, and don't even know that each other has a beautiful and ugly personality, so they ask to marry regardless of life and death, which is too appalling and fake!
From beginning to end, this was the biggest concern in General Lou's heart.
His Royal Highness King Rui came prepared, how could he not take this into account.
Of course, the facts can't be said, but Xiao Zhe has already thought of a rhetoric.
"I returned to Beijing from the fiefdom and met Ling Ai in Xiaoqinling, and I had to help Ling Ai......"
From which route Lou Zheng went to the north, Xiao Zhe could naturally find out clearly.
Xiao Zhe didn't know that the reason he had no intention of arranging it was secretly in line with his previous life......
After General Lou heard what he said, he let go of all his doubts, if this is the case, then all this makes sense.
As a prince, King Rui is willing to ask him to be a military general, it is indeed not easy, the man has gold under his knees, especially a high-ranking prince, and it will not be false to ask for someone like this.
General Lou thought about it carefully, he was a military general who entered Beijing and was entitled, and the military talisman and the authority to command the troops were returned to the military department, except for these personal soldiers around him, there was really nothing to call a prince plot.
However, this matter cannot be absolute, the girl is fifteen years old this year, if His Royal Highness King Rui has fought in the East China Sea for three or four years, will the girl have to wait for him for three or four years?
Besides, I don't know if he can win!
What if the girl becomes an old girl!
"Although you are His Royal Highness King Rui, is the royal heir, but Zheng'er is also my only daughter, is my pearl in the palm of my hand, read your sincerity today, I will give you this opportunity today, but only for one year, if within a year, you can't pacify the East China Sea, I will choose another son-in-law for Zheng'er! With such a good look, I believe it is not difficult to find a good man. Your Highness, do it yourself! ”
