Chapter 111
Yang Jianbai waited outside the hall, and it didn't take long for a father-in-law to come out in a hurry and beckoned to him: "General Yang, the emperor announced that you will go in." Yang Jianbai raised his fist at his father-in-law, and then strode into the door.
The emperor stood at the bottom of the steps, and a wooden shelf was placed next to it, on which hung a very large map, the size of a wall. The emperor scratched his finger on it: "General Zeng will come back this winter?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, our army has occupied this line, and the Khitan grain and grass can't keep up, and we will soon send people to talk." Yang Jianbai also stretched out his finger, and the emperor nodded: "You don't plan to go back?" ”
If Yang Jianbai goes back at this time, he will definitely come back with General Zeng and them, and when the time comes, Yang Jianbai's military achievements will not be small. But if he doesn't go back, Yang Jianbai's credit will be less than half.
Yang Jianbai nodded: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already decided, this time will not pass, anyway, it won't be long." ”
The emperor nodded: "You have made a great contribution to this matter, you can tell me what reward you want." ”
Yang Jianbai didn't say anything, the emperor paused, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Yang family has split up?" ”
"Yes, let the emperor smile." Yang Jianbai was a little embarrassed, and the emperor didn't care: "The family property you got was only the dowry left by your mother back then?" ”
Yang Jianbai was even more embarrassed, although he had known that the emperor had hands and eyes all over the world, and he would not know these things, but after all, it was a family ugly, and it was too embarrassing to make trouble in front of the emperor.
"Why don't I reward you with a house?" The emperor covered the map with a silk cloth and asked casually, without waiting for Yang Jianbai to answer, he said, "Reward you with some gold, silver and jewelry?" There is also the title of the Yang family......"
Yang Jianbai knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, these micro-ministers don't need it." ”
The emperor turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you need?" Just open your mouth, and I won't do you any wrong. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is asking for something." Yang Jianbai lowered his head and said, the emperor turned around and sat on the chair, holding a teacup and waiting for Yang Jianbai to speak, Yang Jianbai did not hesitate, and first said what he had been saved by Shu Manyao before: "The emperor also knows the affairs of Weichen's family, that Ma girl has now returned to the Ma family, Weichen Guan Nashu girl is gentle and virtuous, bold and intelligent, and can be a good match, so Weichen wants to ask the emperor to marry Weichen." ”
"Marriage?" The emperor was a little surprised, Yang Jianbai nodded, and kowtowed again: "Wechen has seen Miss Shu two or three times, and I like Miss Shu very much, and I like it in my heart, so I ask the emperor to fulfill it, and Wechen is willing to exchange this credit for Miss Shu as his wife." ”
The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Have you thought clearly?" No gold and silver treasures, no houses, no titles, just a decree of marriage? ”
"Yes, Wechen has figured it out." Yang Jianbai said firmly, and the emperor was silent for a long time before he got up: "I didn't find out, it turns out that Aiqing is still a seed of infatuation!" The title of your Yang family was handed down by your ancestors, and in order to marry a wife, don't you even want the things from your ancestors? ”
Yang Jianbai was stunned, probably didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question, and thought for a while before replying: "Although the title is something handed down from the ancestors, it is also the emperor's grace, and my Yang family has enjoyed three generations of Qingfu because of this title, which is enough." ”
The emperor leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, looked at Yang Jianbai with an honest face, and couldn't help laughing for a long time, waiting for him to talk about the merits of his ancestors to his descendants, from royal grace to being ashamed of the emperor's grace, anyway, it was summed up in one sentence - the credit that the ancestors exchanged for their lives, their Yang family has enjoyed it for three generations, which is enough. If future generations want to continue to enjoy happiness, they will fight for themselves.
Now this credit is his own life in exchange, he can exchange this credit for whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with others. If anyone is not convinced, then they will work hard to earn credit.
If future generations still want to enjoy happiness, then wouldn't it be okay for him to earn credit in the future and change his title?
The emperor held back a smile and thought in his heart, if the old lady of the Yang family came to listen to these words, I don't know if he would faint with anger. Yang Jianbai's so-called descendants are the children and grandchildren of Yang Jiabai. And the descendants of the old lady are the big family in the second room of the Yang family.
Now that Yang Jianbai has won the title, as long as the old lady is still alive and well, then the benefits brought by this title are not only Yang Jianbai's alone. If you want to let irrelevant people enjoy the benefits you have in exchange for your life, it is better to exchange this credit for the benefits that you can really enjoy alone.
The matter of marriage seems to be inconspicuous, but after digging deeper, it also has many benefits. The first one, that is, Yang Jianbai's future wife, even if she doesn't have a fate, others can't be underestimated. This is not only a marriage decree, but also a life amulet.
The second is the emperor's grace, they are all married, then they must be registered in front of the emperor, who dares to say anything bad casually?
"Then you have recognized it, and exchanged this merit for the decree of marriage?" After Yang Jianbai finished speaking, the emperor asked again, and Yang Jianbai was very sure: "Yes, Weichen is sure, I want to ask the emperor to marry Weichen." ”
"Have you discussed this matter with Shu Chengye?" The emperor leaned back in his chair and asked, Yang Jianbai shook his head: "Not yet, the siege wants to beg the emperor to give Weichen a period of time, Weichen first went to ask Lord Shu to agree to this matter, and then came to ask the emperor for this holy decree of marriage." ”
The emperor was a little surprised: "Since you can ask Shu Chengye to agree, why ask for marriage again?" This credit was wasted. ”
"Your Majesty, this is also a little selfishness on the part of Weichen, Weichen likes Miss Shu in his heart, and he wants to plan for Miss Shu. If Lord Shu does not agree to this marriage, Weichen will ask for the holy decree of marriage, and I am afraid that in the future, Lord Shu will feel uncomfortable when he sees Weichen, and Miss Shu will be in a dilemma. If Lord Shu agrees, then this holy decree is not just the icing on the cake, Wei Chen's heart is also a little guarded against the Ma family, in case the Ma family does not give up and wants to find trouble with Miss Shu, with this holy purpose, Miss Shu will not be bullied by them. ”
Yang Jianbai was a little embarrassed, a good man, suddenly entangled in the affairs of these mothers-in-law and mothers, for fear that the emperor would be bored, Yang Jianbai hurriedly said: "I also ask the emperor to be gracious and give Weichen this grace." ”
"Okay, you go back and discuss with Shu Chengye first, I will keep this holy decree for marriage for you first, and when your matter is done, just come and get it." The emperor was a little amused, and waved his hand to signal Yang Jianbai to step down. Yang Jianbai saluted respectfully and bowed out of the door.
The emperor rushed to the side and said, "Did you hear it?" I told you a long time ago that Yang Jianbai is a rare son-in-law, what do you think? ”
Shu Chengye came out from behind the screen next to him and saluted the emperor: "Yes, Weichen's vision is not as good as the emperor." It's just that Weichen is a little reluctant to give up his daughter, my baby daughter is smart and smart, gentle and considerate, and the most filial, just marrying Yang Jianbai, Weichen is really reluctant, so this is ......"
Since the children of the Shu family were killed in filial piety, Yang Jianbai's action has been put on the bright side. Every day, he came to greet Shu Chengye respectfully. Yang Jianbai didn't have to go to court during this time, he stayed at the door of Shu Chengye's yamen all day, rushed to be a servant for Shu Chengye, bought wine and food at noon and sent them over, and sent people to Shu's door at night.
At first, no one cared, no matter whose kid wanted to marry someone else's girl, he had to be so low and serve his father-in-law. However, every time Shu Chengye didn't give Yang Jianbai a good face, Yang Jianbai didn't care, the two of them persevered, and everyone took this matter as a scene.
There are more people watching, and it will make trouble for the emperor. Approaching the end of the year, there are a lot of things in the emperor, but there are many things, so I want to have some fun and adjust it, so I asked Shu Chengye to ask.
Shu Chengye has seized the opportunity, of course, he is a gentleman, and he will not speak ill of Yang Jianbai, let alone say that he looks down on Yang Jianbai who wants to hook up with his daughter in private.
When this matter is said, Yang Jianbai has no reputation, but his daughter's reputation will definitely not be better.
Therefore, he only said that he was worried about Yang Jianbai's youthful temperament or something, that he was decisive when he was a soldier, that he was too angry, and that the Yang family was too complicated, and that his baby girl would suffer in the past.
After talking a lot, the emperor simply called Yang Jianbai to inquire.
Shu Chengye listened to it for a long time in the back, and he also had some changes in his opinion of Yang Jianbai - he could let the emperor give him a marriage, but he could still think of asking him to agree to the marriage first, which shows that he took his daughter to heart, and it was not like what he thought before, he was just a flowery intestine.
The most important thing is that the title of the Yang family, in Yang Jianbai's heart, is not as good as his own daughter, it can be seen that he does not pay attention to fame and fortune, but pays attention to feelings, such a person, in the future, he will not have to worry about his daughter for what future or power.
The Shu family is looking at the scenery now, and that's just because Shu Chengye is the emperor's confidant. Ten or twenty years, he is not young, how many years can he protect the Shu family? Zheming and Zhihui are still young, the Shu family is not prosperous, I am afraid that in no more than 20 years, the Shu family will be low for a while, and the daughter who will marry will have no one to protect them, will they be punished?
Yang Jianbai can have such a decision, he is a person who regards money and power as dung, and Shu Chengye is also relieved to hand over his daughter to such a person.
"You think your daughter is the most haode girl on Shijie, I also think Yang Jianbai is good, talented and beautiful, very matched, if you think it's okay, I wrote them this holy decree of marriage."
The emperor looked at Shu Chengye with a smile, and was a little envious of Shu Chengye, he also has a daughter, but the relationship between him and his daughter is not as good as Shu Chengye's father and daughter.
"Yang Jianbai is my confidant, and so are you, and no one will be wronged. So if you don't want to do this thing, just say, I won't wronged you. The emperor said with a smile: "I see that Yang Jianbai is a talent, and it just so happens that my third princess is also old, if she can marry Yang Jianbai, it will also be a good family matter." ”
Shu Chengye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't be the emperor, I have said that I will write the decree of marriage, this is not easy to change, the emperor wants to make a promise, I didn't say that I disagree with this marriage, but our girl is still young, I want to stay for a while, so I don't care about Yang Jianbai, but now our girl will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and she is not young, so she can't delay it, so this matter will be settled." ”
