Chapter 563 Cannon Fodder Between Changhua and the Empress Dowager 18

(Woo air conditioner and fan, when to save Lingzi in the Flaming Mountain!) οΌ‰

Min Ze didn't realize that his actions were rude, and patting Gu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder was not enough, so he almost pulled her to form a blood alliance and become brothers with different surnames.

No, it should be a "opposite-sex" brother.

After being pleasantly surprised, Min Ze finally remembered that the object of his confidant was the current Queen Mother, and took a step back.

There is almost no difference between men and women for Min Ze, he is obsessed with marching and fighting, and in his spare time, he either trains martial arts or rehearses the battle between the two armies, and all the things about his children's love are thrown out of the clouds.

Even if the elders in the family mentioned their lives, Min Ze never thought about marrying a wife and having children, and his innocence was obvious.

After getting the blueprints of the Divine Arm Crossbow, Min Ze was a little restless, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately and negotiate with his subordinates about making a bow and crossbow.

Gu Xiaoxiao spied out his thoughts, and besides, she shouldn't leave the palace for too long this time, if something happens in the palace if she stays any longer, I'm afraid Sequoia won't be able to deal with it.

"When I saw it today, General Min is full of spirits and deserves to be the luck of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a chance to continue in the future."

Gu Xiaoxiao said generously, Min Ze was not sticky, and promised straightforwardly: "In the future, if Yuyun Jun is useful to the place below, just say it bluntly!" ”

The two are like-minded, and they have a sense of pity for each other after a conversation.

When she left Qingfeng Building, Gu Xiaoxiao was smiling, she knew that she had made the right bet again, and Min Ze couldn't refuse the temptation she brought.

The weapons and equipment she provided were a rare weapon for the army guarding the border passes.

Although the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty hated the barbarians with a savage temperament, they had to admit that the barbarians were strong and good at riding and were good at fighting on horses.

The infantry of the Great Zhou Dynasty had strong combat effectiveness, but the cavalry had always lost slightly, and although the weapons were better than those of the barbarians, the casualties were equally tragic when the two armies fought against each other.

After the formation of a strong crossbow army, the Great Zhou could lengthen the combat distance as much as possible, and use its own strengths and weaknesses to reduce casualties while accelerating the victory of the war.

On the third day after the two met, Min Ze officially entered the court, and after accepting the reward, he stayed in the palace for dinner.

This is not only a feast to catch the wind and wash the dust, but also a gift to the Min family, Min Ze has let his subordinates who are good at craftsmen have seen the drawings of the divine arm crossbow, and the person almost snatched the shock, and he has been studying it in the house.

People are in good spirits at happy events, Min Ze is a young and talented person, and the pride of not getting drunk at the banquet makes people feel infinitely liked.

It is rare to have a banquet in the palace, and the imperial dining room is very busy, and the Yiluan Division and the Ouchi guards alternately guard to avoid sneaking into it.

Those who can come to the banquet are all princes and nobles, and it is not trivial for anyone to have an accident, and every dish and wine sent must be repeatedly tested.

The osmanthus is fragrant, the golden chrysanthemum is stunning, the hosta flowers are beautiful, the roses are enchanting, and the drunken hibiscus is blooming in a magnificent color.

The flowers are beautiful, the palace maids are like clouds and brocades, and the shuttle is more beautiful, they are in their youth, and there is no shortage of handsome young men or elegant scribes at the banquet.

Those literati and scholars boasted of being romantic, and they teased the palace maid with Xia Fei's cheeks in a few words, but they didn't dare to respond openly because of the strict etiquette in the palace.

Some of the bold ones faded away the jade bracelet and Jin Chuan, in exchange for the jade pendant to express their hearts, and some were shy and cowardly sent out their purses.

Such a private thing, if people catch it, they will inevitably be beaten, but the hearts of the palace maids are like clouds in the sky, with the sound of silk and bamboo straight into the sky.

The seats at the banquet are also quite intriguing, the position directly below His Majesty, on the left is Chen Sinian, and on the right is Yang Qi, the head of the minister.

Next are the four ministers who take care of their lives, and then the directors of the Yiluan Division, Feng Yuzhu and Min Ze, as well as other officials in the court, and if there are no officials, they are at the bottom.

Min Ze's position is not high, if it weren't for today's banquet, nominally to reward the Min family, I'm afraid he would have to sit behind a dozen rows.

The little emperor sat at the top, and the dark waves were turbulent underneath, except for the fact that he accepted the praise of civil and military officials according to the convention at the beginning, he only said a few words when he praised Min Ze.

The rest of the words, the little emperor didn't want to say it, but Chen Sinian almost didn't give him a chance to speak, so he could only hide it.

Chen Sinian was wearing a bright red four-clawed python robe, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, a brilliant jade belt around his waist, and a lazy and indescribable body with a slight oblique.

Yang Qinian, who was about sixty years old and gray-haired, sat upright on a chair, in stark contrast to Chen Sinian.

A righteous and awe-inspiring veteran of the Four Dynasties, a courtier of the Three Dynasties with a suave and vicious means, Yang Qi didn't even want to look at Chen Sinian more.

At the banquet to reward Min Ze, Chen Sinian monopolized the romance, and from time to time when someone sang and praised the emperor, Chen Sinian was also praised and pushed to an extremely lofty position.

In the face of the flattery of his subordinates, Chen Sinian accepted it calmly, and those who did not want to go along with it chose to remain silent.

Min Ze saw everything in his eyes, was extremely disgusted with the court disputes, and almost everyone chose to remain silent in the face of traitorous ministers grabbing power.

If he hadn't only brought his own soldiers into the court, he would have opened up the case today and torn off Chen Sinian's hypocritical face.

Feng Yuzhu also didn't like the deception and drama at the banquet, but he sat with Min Ze and simply acted as the host, introducing him to the customs of the capital and the background of the officials present at the banquet.

Min Ze is talented, intelligent, well-read and knowledgeable, almost a little bit clear, and chatted with Feng Yuzhu more and more.

Chen Sinian sat on the top, his eyes were slightly lowered to see the movements of Feng Yuzhu and Min Ze, and he clenched the cup in his hand, his eyes were filled with coldness.

One of these two people holds the Yiluan Division in his hands, and the other is the next successor of the Zhenxi Army, and they both have a pivotal position in the court.

It's just that these two people toasted and didn't eat and drink, and he used gold, silver, jewelry, and beauty to win him over, but he was rejected by the two of them, and he drew a line with him.

This made Chen Sinian extremely angry, if the two were allowed to join forces, his grand cause would be more difficult to carry out, so he must get rid of the two, and before getting rid of them, he also had to divide the alliance between the two.

Chen Sinian put down the cup in his hand and turned the Buddha beads on his wrist, Feng Yuzhu and Min Ze disdained him, and he would not condescend to show favor to them.

The banquet is held in the middle of the day, the wine is hot and the ears are singing and dancing, the night is on at the beginning of the lanterns, the palace is full of light, and the beautiful singers are ethereal like a fairyland.

What's even better is that at the place where the winding water flows, I don't know when the palace people put a lotus lamp, and the moon-white lantern blooms on the water surface, and it is beautiful to go down the river.

No one dared to get drunk at the palace banquet, and they were crazy to sprinkle wine here, and those who were slightly drunk had to ask the palace people to help them go down and sober up.

If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and some people pretend to be drunk and flatter Chen Sinian, and the minion's face is disgusting.

The little emperor looked irritable, he sat at the top like a puppet, and those who complimented him were insincere, and it was difficult for a virtuous man to speak at the banquet. Master Feng was separated from him by a few people, and Chen Sinian had to ask him some words from time to time, and what he wanted to do most was to quit, even if it was to read some books.

Just when everyone was thinking and planning, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, Fu Gonggong, came with the edict of the Empress Dowager.

The people who were drinking, talking and laughing suddenly heard the decree of Cining Palace, and looked at each other without knowing the reason.

Only Chen Sinian poured himself wine, with a smile on his face, and turned the Buddha beads on his wrist faster.

The little emperor looked surprised, and with a smile reluctantly asked Gonggong Fu to read the empress dowager's edict.

Father-in-law Nafu is about forty years old and is also an old man in the palace, and he speaks wittily, and his voice is not as sharp as that of ordinary eunuchs, and his voice is loud when he recites Yi's decree.

"By the order of the Empress Dowager: Min Zezhongjun, the Zhaoyong General of the Zhenxi Army, is patriotic, brave and good at fighting, and is really a pillar of the country. The three daughters of Bai Zhuxiu, a cabinet university scholar, have a gentle temperament, outstanding appearance, and a good match. The two of them have a good fate, and now they will give marriage and reward ......"

The crowd was stunned when they heard about the marriage, and almost no one had the heart to discern the subsequent reward.

Bai Zhuxiu, a cabinet scholar, is the uncle of the current Queen Mother, and his third daughter is the seventh sister of the Queen Mother.

After Gonggong Fu finished reading the edict, he presented it to Min Ze with a smile, and his fingers were slightly curled into orchid fingers: "The minister is here to congratulate Major General Min, and wish the general an early marriage and early birth of a noble son and a long old age." ”

When someone came to Cining Palace before, Min Ze poured wine by himself, and never took it seriously, when he heard his name, his brows furrowed, and then when he heard that it was actually a marriage, the smile on his face turned blue but he couldn't hold it.

Min Ze's face turned blue and he didn't stretch out his hand to answer the order, and the originally noisy banquet suddenly quieted down, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing was highlighted, which made the banquet even more embarrassing.

The people who can survive for decades in the palace are all old people, and Gonggong Fu saw Min Ze's resistance to Yizhi, and said with a smile in order to play a round: "Major General Min is too happy, he forgot to accept the decree, the Empress Dowager is sympathetic to the hard work of the Min family, and hereby gives marriage, and Major General Min must not forget the Empress Dowager's intentions in the future." ”

Chen Sinian's person who moved the Buddha beads stopped, his eyes fell on Min Ze with a smile, and he got up and raised his wine glass to respect Min Ze: "It stands to reason that the governor of Pontus should not say much, but the beautiful scenery of a good day and a good fate from heaven will be ruined if General Min hesitates any longer." ”

Min Ze glared at him, but still didn't stretch out his hand.

Chen Sinian smiled again, took a sip of the cup in his hand and said: "Today is a banquet for Major General Min, but if the young general goes against the queen mother's will and has an accident, it will not be beautiful." ”

As he spoke, the people from Dongchang and a small number of guards stepped forward, and the situation suddenly became tense.

The little emperor sat on the top, watching Chen Sinian persecute Min Ze, and rushed up angrily, but the people present dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, only Chen Sinian spoke.

Thinking that the Queen Mother usually told him to be patient, the little emperor clenched his fist with his hand hidden in his sleeve, and pretended to be naΓ―ve and called Chen Aiqing and asked: "Why did grandmother give General Min Shao a marriage, if General Min Shao's family already has a marriage contract, wouldn't it be a dilemma." ”

The little emperor's innocent words eased the atmosphere in the field, Min Ze was about to speak, but Chen Sinian replied first: "Back to Your Majesty, General Min has never been married at home, and the Empress Dowager is also a kind heart, Your Majesty will be able to understand when he is young, and only when men and women should marry can the country and the people be safe." ”

Chen Sinian's tongue was like a spring, and the little emperor was speechless, he could only pretend to sit down in a daze, and apologized to Min Ze in his heart.

Over there, Min Ze's hot temper rushed up, and he was about to argue with Chen Sinian to the end, when Feng Yuzhu stretched out his hand and pulled his shirt, and only said seven words: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”

Chen Sinian also heard this, but just raised his eyebrows proudly, waiting for Min Ze's reaction.

The lights and shadows are swaying, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the sound of the hoarse orchestral is scattered in the wind.

The cold wind blew on Min Ze, blowing between his eyebrows, and the cold silk swept away his anger.

Perhaps it was the anger of Min Ze and the Empress Dowager that could not be expressed in words, Min Ze took the holy decree from the hands of Gonggong Fu with one hand, and smiled coldly: "Thank you Lord Chen and the Empress Dowager for caring about the marriage of the last general, but someone has calculated for the last general, and he must be twenty-four years old before he can get married, otherwise it will hurt his life, and please take care of Miss Bai's more." ”

He held the Empress Dowager Yizhi in his hand with one hand, and after sneering, he returned to his expression coldly, Fu Gonggong was a wonderful person who saw the wind and steered, and left with a smile.

Chen Sinian leaned forward slightly, and was about to pat Min Ze's shoulder, but he dodged him, and he shook his head and sighed without anger: "Young man." ”

The Empress Dowager's decree made the banquet almost unhappy. Min Zeren didn't bow his head under the eaves, so he could only endure this breath.

He knew long before entering Beijing that Chen Sinian and the Empress Dowager were not clear, and even the evil seeds were born. But they didn't expect that the two would hit his idea on his marriage.

What a calculation, thinking that if he was tied to the Bai family's ship, he would be slaughtered.

Min Ze temporarily took over Yi's decree and had already thought that after returning to the southwest, his father must come forward to dissolve the marriage.

His marriage does not allow a traitor to be in charge, even if the young lady of the Bai family is as beautiful as a fairy, he will not move the daughter of the traitor.

Yi Zhi was not only alarmed, but also Gu Xiaoxiao, who was waiting for Kunning Palace to hear the news of the banquet back.

She only thought about today's banquet, maybe Chen Sinian would pick quarrels and provoke trouble to speak disrespectfully to Min Ze, and Min Ze was arrogant, I was afraid that a battle of anger would break out with him.

But I never thought that the Empress Dowager would suddenly give marriage, or give the seventh miss of the Bai family to Min Ze, if I remember correctly, the seventh miss in the plot later seemed to marry a child of the clan, in order to win the support of the clan.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care who Miss Bai Jiaqi married, but she had a relationship with Min Ze, so she couldn't help but care.

Who is the Bai family? Emperor Yongjia was dedicated to being the uncle of the country, flattering Emperor Yongjia, and did not hesitate to climb up to Chen Sinian, a eunuch that everyone despised.

Now that Emperor Yongjia and Emperor Huirong have died one after another, and the little emperor has ascended the throne, the Bai family knows that their daughter is committed to Chen Sinian, a eunuch, and they are still extremely flattering to her. (To be continued.) )
