263 Suffer not from few, but from inequality
Although Wen Xu was surprised and delighted, he couldn't imagine that such a big pie would fall from the sky and smash it on his head impartially. To tell the truth, he didn't think about making meritorious contributions and paying homage to the prime minister at all, but he only knew that Ma Zhengming couldn't tolerate him, thinking about saving his life and doing something practical for the people of Northern Xinjiang.
But this is a holy decree, all the civil and military officials are here, and it is a big crime to lose your head if you don't respect the decree, and if Long Yan is angry, it is not uncommon to behead all over the house.
What's more, Tang Kun specially explained, the holy will is unpredictable, and the group of Beijing officials is even more complicated, you must not do disobedient things, and you can't hide your edge completely, so that others will think that you are too deep and too ambitious, which is easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion and easy to be used as a bull's-eye; Similarly, once the emperor has a reward, you can't do without it, and if you don't want it, you will appear lonely, and it is taboo to be lonely; Humility is good, but excessive humility is pride.
Tang Kun's words, Wen Xu firmly remembered in his heart.
After the chamberlain read out the holy decree, Wen Xu and the others immediately kowtowed and thanked him, and said some words of gratitude to Dade, which was also simple and in line with the scene, which made the emperor feel very comfortable, just like an owner throwing a bone to a puppy, he didn't want to see the puppy how clear and picky he was, but watched the puppy wagging his tail and thanking Dade.
"I suddenly remembered one thing, patronizing the warriors of the three armies, killing the enemy for the country is a state affair, but I don't have time to care about your family affairs in the future. How many Aiqing, are they all married? "The emperor squinted; The eyes seem to be casual but reveal a fine light. He asked so casually, but let the people below have their own thoughts. Only the close minister smiled and said nothing, knowing in his heart.
If it is placed in the capital, it is impossible for people like Wen Xu and others not to marry, and the customs of Yan Kingdom, at the age of fifteen, they can almost lead the family to live. But in northern Xinjiang, it is different, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, to put it bluntly, it is barren and poor, in such a place, the girls with better looks want to marry; Rich and powerful families marry more than one wife; One comes and goes, there are more men and fewer women. It is not uncommon for you to never be married when you reach the age of marriage.
Some people think that the emperor is really sympathetic to his subordinates. Some people think that this saint must have set up a good routine, waiting for these border buns to jump in; Some people also think that the emperor is just in a good mood because he won the battle, and he is really chatting.
No matter what you think, you think it's a great gift. You think the world is so big. Yan Kingdom is so big. How many people could get the emperor to personally intervene in their family affairs? How many people equipped with the emperor cared so much?
What's more, the emperor, how can there be a person who speaks without deep meaning? Even if it doesn't have a deep meaning. An unintentional move can also be guessed and deduced by countless courtiers to have a lot of deep meaning.
Among this group of people, only Shi Lei has never been married, although there is a fairy, but after all, the fairy is just a concubine, not elegant, can not be regarded as a marriage.
Shi Lei said: "Back to the saint, his subordinates are not yet married. ”
The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Oh, it turns out that Shi Aiqing has never been married." It is true that a manly man has no wife; But how can homelessness be a foundation? Men should marry women when they are married, this is an ancient rite and should not be wasted. In this way, this year's selection of show girls, there are a few show girls who look good with the queen and the concubine, it is better to refer to one person and you as a wife. ”
Shi Lei was flattered, and the emperor Lao Tzu gave him a marriage, what kind of honor is this; What's more, those who can enter the palace as a show girl are all people with a certain net worth background, if they are lucky, they are not married to the palace as a lady or to the grand duke of the royal family, and to marry someone like him, it is like a flower inserted in cow dung.
He thought about it like this and felt that he was too arrogant, he was also a young general now, his ancestors were smoking, and he would have a bright future in the future, and some of the big officials in the capital had begun to woo him, if he found a daughter-in-law with a family, it was not impossible to rise to prominence. What's more, this cow dung is the most nourishing.
"Wechen thanked the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint!" Shi Lei hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
The emperor glanced at Wen Xu again and said, "What about Wen Aiqing?" ”
Wen Xu's heart jumped, his heart was not good, in the end it was his turn, so he said: "Back to the saint, Weichen already has a wife and children. Weichen and clumsy Jing childhood sweethearts, couples have a deep relationship. ”
He didn't wait for the emperor to speak, he said it first, it stands to reason that this is also a big taboo, he knows it in his heart, he is afraid that the emperor will also stuff himself with a few women, so he will be sorry for Shen Ruchu, it is better to make it clear first.
Tang Kun stood in the ranks of the ministers and secretly sweated for him.
"I can't see that Wen Aiqing can not only kill the enemy on the battlefield, but also an amorous seed, but has a sense of pity and cherishing jade. Could it be that Ai Aiqing is afraid of guilt? "The emperor seems to be in a really good mood, and jokes are all told.
All the courtiers laughed.
Wen Xu was not annoyed, he had a good temper, and said: "Back to the saint, Wenchen is not afraid of the inside, clumsy and virtuous, intelligent, kind-hearted, and fair-minded, he will never do anything that makes Weichen embarrassed and unhappy, this kind of woman, Weichen is too late to love, how can he be afraid?" ”
He couldn't have been clearer of that.
The meaning of the emperor is also very obvious.
Giving Shi Lei a marriage is just a pretense, and wanting to give Wen Xu a few women is the point. Since the emperor has this kind of thought, he naturally doesn't dare to give up, not to mention that he is a king, Wen Xu may not even be a minister in his eyes, but he is just a poor and remote boy, and he will only call him in the future.
"Oh, it turns out that Aiqing is still an infatuated person, it's really rare. The couple's affection is deep, but it also makes me envious. Wu can calm the war for me, and Wen can take care of his family, which is good. How many children do you have now? The Emperor asked.
Wen Xu didn't think much about it, and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen now has a son under his knees." ”
The emperor smiled, "Oh, it's only one." When I was your age, I already had two princes and three princesses. ”
Wen Xu said in his heart: That's because you have a lot of women, even if not everyone is born, half of the people in the three palaces and six courtyards have given birth to heirs, and there are also double-digit princes and princesses, and said with a smile: "That's the emperor's blessings, and even God blesses the true son of heaven, and the blessings of these sons and blessings are naturally far more than ordinary people." ”
"Haha, I love to hear that. It's not bad that I have two girls here, the country is beautiful and fragrant to describe it as worthy of the name, I will give it to you, be a side room, and give birth to many heirs in the future, continuing the incense of your Wen family. "The Emperor is like a nosy dad today, a bit of an anomaly; A companion is like a tiger, and when it is abnormal, it is the most terrifying and dangerous time, Wen Xu may not understand this truth, but Tang Kun is extremely clear.
Wen Xu wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Zhang Biqing and gave him a look.
The emperor's posture is clear enough, he wants to give him a woman, as for what the reason is, it is a deep-seated thought. Wen Xu also saw this sign, but he didn't dare to attack in distress, so he had to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The emperor smiled and said, "Don't thank me, continue the incense more, this is the right thing." ”
The meaning of these words could not be clearer, not only do you have to accept these women, but you can't use them as decorations after bringing them back.
First of all, among this group of people, the happiest is Shi Lei, the emperor Lao Tzu gave him a marriage, and that pride is afraid that he can wake up from sleep; Some officials in the capital who wanted to win him over also took the opportunity to send gifts, which were called wedding gifts -- but if the gifts were so valuable, and the rewards were far compared, he would not fail to understand that with his ability and position, as well as his position, it was very unlikely that he would help anyone, after all, the emperor was far away; But it is a good pawn to win him over and let him work for these high-ranking officials.
Shi Lei's daughter-in-law who has not passed the door and the woman who has been drafted is the daughter of the governor of a small state in the south, and it is not very clear whether she is the eldest daughter or a concubine.
"The emperor really doesn't worry about us, saying that he is giving me a marriage, but he is looking for a place near the north, the customs and habits are the same, and it is good to go back to his parents' house when the time comes, okay, he found a southern, one in the south, and one in the north, even if he has any ambitions, he will not get any help." Shi Lei said.
Liu Lijun smiled: "Then you should bump into the emperor and return that girl." It's cheap and good here. Don't be careless, according to my guess, the emperor appointed such a person to marry you, I'm afraid that it is not only because the two places are far away, but because they can cut off their control, maybe they have other ideas. ”
"What thoughts?" Shi Lei asked.
The two of them were in a good mood, so they were happy to talk about it, and by the way, which mansion they went to, what good things they ate, who they met, and who treated them well.
Zhang Biqing snorted coldly, he was in a bad mood, not generally bad, but quite lost, in this group of people, he was the most powerful, the highest, the most powerful, and the martial arts were almost the most powerful, if he hadn't been holding on, would there be a few of them today?
As a result, although he has a lot of rewards, compared to Wen Xu, it is much worse; is slightly better than Liu Lijun and Shi Lei, but after this reward, there is no difference in their status, not to mention that Shi Lei has the emperor to marry, so he is worthy of a lady's show, as far as Shi Lei's previous green skin practice is concerned, he is not worthy of saying a word to everyone's girlfriends, only a dry look; Although Liu Lijun was not assigned to marry, some people gave him two beautiful concubines in order to win him over.
Speaking of the little concubine, it is the place where Wen Xu is angry, and one of the women is like Shen Ruchu. At the beginning, he received seven or eight women for him to choose, and it was not good for him to choose anyone, so he chose such a woman; His thoughts, Wen Xu is not happy when he thinks about it; In addition, the emperor rewarded him with a few women in one go, two side rooms, and two maids each, I'm afraid Anyang won't have a place to live this time!
