Chapter 5 Desire to take a concubine
The war ended, and the city of Yangzhou returned to peace.
And in an attic in the deep courtyard of the Taishou Mansion.
"Mother, don't worry. Father Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine. "I saw my mother with a sad face, depressed, and a look of grief. Su Ruoxi distressed and persuaded: "Although this place is heavily guarded and we are imprisoned here, it does not embarrass us, but provides us with good food and drink, presumably to recruit our father."
"Hey! How could I not know for my mother. But your father's stubborn temper is afraid that he will not be. After speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Su Ruoxi was also deflated when she heard this, and then gritted her teeth and said: "I have heard that the drunken disciples of the third prince can have such a talent to break through this iron arm and copper wall of Yangzhou City. It must have taken the credit of others, and it was just on himself, hum! β
As early as when the next person came to deliver the meal, Su Ruoxi quietly asked, gave some jewelry to carry with him, and learned a general situation.
Chu Yi took Su Ping to the attic where Su Ruoxi was imprisoned, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Su Ruoxi talking about himself, and he couldn't help but sneeze. Chu Yi rubbed his nose, looked at Su Ping, who was full of embarrassment, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, stepped forward and pushed the door open, and then said: "Abusing your fiancΓ© is not a small crime." β
When Su Ruoxi heard the prestige, her expression was suddenly wonderful. "You, you... What's wrong with you? If you want to drink tea, you have to change the day! Su Ruoxi's head short-circuited and said this.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and sat on a chair casually.
"Su Ping, let's introduce it!"
"Yes, Third Highness." Su Ping walked in slowly.
Su Ruoxi and her mother greeted Su Ping excitedly when they saw her.
"Husband!" Su Ping's wife snuggled up to Su Ping's broad shoulders with tears streaming down her face.
Su Ruoxi pouted, looked at them dissatisfied, and drew circles on the ground with her toes. also glanced at Chu Yi from time to time, and when he saw his cold light sweeping, he was frightened and immediately avoided his gaze and shrank his head.
"Let Madame worry, cough! Madame, let me introduce you to this son. β
The Mrs. Su nodded with tears in her eyes. Chu Yi on the side was already bored, and he couldn't see a woman crying, Chu Yi felt that tears were the most useless and cowardly thing.
Su Ping made a stumbling block to Chu Yi. "This is the last general's insider, that is the last general's beloved daughter Su Ruoxi."
Immediately, he respectfully introduced Chu Yi to his family: "This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, it was he who broke Yangzhou City, and now I have returned to the Three Emperors... Court. Don't worry. And one more thing... Forehead.. It is. β
"I'll tell you!" Chu Yi, who was on the side, saw that Su Ping was hesitant, so he stood up: "I want to take Yang Susu as a concubine, and the date is on the third day after returning to the capital, which happens to be the flower appreciation festival of my dynasty." Pack up and get ready to go back to the capital with me. β
After hearing this, Su Ruoxi, who was on the side, had a buzzing head and felt dizzy. I had mixed feelings in my heart, I couldn't believe that I had met the three princes before, and I began to suspect that the three princes were addicted to wine was fake, but after thinking about it, they wanted to accept me as a concubine after meeting twice, but they were a little frivolous from time to time. I was a little disappointed in Chu Yi, but I was a little happy.
When Su Ruoxi was immersed in the words just now and couldn't extricate himself, the third prince approached Su Ruoxi in a deep step, and when Su Ruoxi found Chu Yi approaching him, he was about to touch the tip of his nose. Hurriedly jumped back and protected his chest. "You... What do you want to do?"
Su Ping and Mrs. Su on the side looked up at the roof very interestingly, nodding from time to time, as if admiring how well the attic was built.
Chu Yi stared at Su Ruoxi playfully, and said in a deep voice: "You slander this prince, let's settle it on the day we get married." β
After speaking, he called Su Ping to leave the attic together, and when he stepped out of the threshold, Chu Yi said: "After getting married, I will make your flat chest plump, and you don't have to be too inferior."
Then the sound of a vase smashing against the door frame was heard, accompanied by "Shameless, rascal! Die!".
γγγγγγ
The next morning, the birds chirped happily in the trees. The grunt of the axles was long and long on the avenue, and a bunch of elite Humvees escorted the convoy, dusty.
In the carriage, Su Ruoxi sat on the tiger skin cushion and looked at her mother dissatisfied: "Mother, you really want to marry your daughter to the third prince!"
Mrs. Su knocked Su Ruoxi's head: "You! Don't always keep your mouth shut. How domineering the three princes are, just like your father used to! After saying that, Mrs. Su blushed.
Su Ruoxi, who was on the side, rubbed her head, and when she heard it, she immediately happily took her mother's hand and asked, "Dad, why are you domineering?" Hit you hard!?"
Mrs. Su frowned when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly, "A lady who is a big girl, who didn't give the door in her mouth, is just talking nonsense." β
Su Ruoxi stuck out her tongue. Rui'er on the side has been quietly drawing on her chest with her hand, and her eyes are confused.
Outside the carriage, the three princes were parallel to Su Ping.
"My father is afraid that he will deprive me of my military power, as for you, General Su! If my guess is correct, I will be sent to the Great Prince to further weaken my military power, although my military power is pitiful. β
When Su Ping heard this, he thought about it and understood that the emperor was afraid of the second prince's usurpation of power, and in order to smoothly support the eldest prince to ascend the throne, he had to eliminate all unstable factors, and if something happened again, the dynasty would really be over. Thinking of this, Su Ping glanced at Chu Yi and pursed his lips. These three princes are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have to provoke the world to be restless.
"General Su, I hope when I need an arm. You can act as my right and left. β
Looking at Chu Yi's sincere gaze, Su Ping clenched his fists: "Third Highness, rest assured, the last general will follow him to the death."
"Hahaha! Su Ping is a great blessing in life, and someone brings wine! Let me get drunk with you! Looking at Chu Yi took the wine jug and drank heavily. Su Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with contempt in his heart: "Drink if you want, talk about this rotten excuse." β
At this time, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in the imperial city.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers bowed down.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" On the top of the main hall, a white-haired old man, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair majestically, looking up at the ministers.
"Emperor Xie!"
"Today, can the world be stable?" The Northern Wei Emperor asked with half-closed eyes.
"This..." The ministers were speechless for a while by this question.
"Qiyu, Your Majesty. There was a war report in Yangzhou, and the three princes made a plan to take Yangzhou City in one fell swoop. Lu Zhiyi, the secretary of the military department, stood up.
"Oh! Is this really the work of the three princes? The half-squinted eyes of the Northern Wei Emperor were all opened.
"Back to the emperor, this matter is true! The detailed battle report has been delivered! Lu Ziyi, the secretary of the military department, bent down and bowed his hand.
"Bring it on!" The Northern Wei Emperor looked at the battle report carefully, and then turned his gaze to the eldest prince Chu Jiang: "Chu Jiang!" β
"Erchen is here!" When Chu Jiang heard this, he went out and gave his hand.
"You go and arrange to greet Chu Yi. Catch the wind and wash the dust for him. I haven't been in the palace for three years. β
"Son, take the order. With that, he returned to his ranks.
"Is there anything else you want to report?" The Northern Wei Emperor then asked expressionlessly.
"Weichen, there is still something to report" Lu Zhiyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was out of the list again.
"Say"
"Dog Rong, many times harassing my northern border. People are displaced and their livelihoods are struggling. I implore the emperor to send troops to the Northern Expedition."
"Humph! These barbarians, too presumptuous. When the Northern Wei Emperor heard that his anger was burning, he immediately suppressed it: "I know, and Chu Jiang will lead the Northern Expedition to the north in this matter." Can the secretary of state object? β
"This..." Lu Zhiyi is hesitant,
"Lu Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it!" The Northern Wei Emperor was slightly dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is in charge, and he is a golden body, so it is not appropriate to lead troops to the battle," Lu Zhiyi admonished.
"The third prince Chu Yi can, so can the eldest prince Chu Jiang. How can my royal man be a coquettish body?! Lu Aiqing, in addition to cooperating with Chu Jiang to send troops, you can help you complete the things to welcome Chu Yi. The Northern Wei Emperor was very dissatisfied with Lu Zhiyi's words.
Lu Zhiyi smiled helplessly.
The Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty stood up and looked at Chu Jiang: "Chu Jiang, I order you to lead 150,000 elite soldiers to attack Beirong." You can cut it first and play it later! β
The eldest prince, Chu Jiang, immediately came out to receive the order. Chu Jiang is quite influential in the political circles, but he has not had deep contact in the military circles, and now the opportunity is rare, Chu Jiang is extremely excited in his heart, and if he has military power, he has confidence, so he thinks that his younger brother Chu Tianyun dares to rebel and establish himself as the king, that is, he has military power. It's just that Chujiang City is very deep, and the surface is quiet, and it is calm, giving people a kind of demeanor, and suppressing the emotions in their hearts. When he learned that Chu Yi had broken Yangzhou City, Chu Jiang felt uneasy, and even began to prepare to suppress Chu Yi in his heart, for fear that Chu Yi would be like Chu Tianyun.
"If it's okay, just retreat to the court", the Northern Wei Emperor waved his dragon sleeves and turned to leave.
The ministers bowed down and thanked him.
"Lord Lu, go slowly." After the dispersal, Chu Jiang stopped Lu Zhiyi.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince" Lu Ziyi bowed his hand to meet him.
"Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite, the arrangement of the Northern Expedition is still Lord Lao Lu, I hope that Lord Lu will help you and destroy Beirong to protect my people of Great Wei!"
Chu Jiang bowed to Lu Zhiyi very sincerely.
Lu Ziyi hurriedly helped Chu Jiang up and said: "Don't torture the old man, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is really worried about the country and the people, and Weichen must go all out."
After hearing this, Chu Jiang smiled and bowed his hand again: "It's hard work."
"It's a matter of duty, Weichen will go back to prepare for the war. Be one step ahead and say goodbye! After Lu Ziyi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Farewell!" Chu Jiang looked at Lu Ziyi who was going away, his eyes flashed cold, and what he said just now made him very dissatisfied.
Chu Jiang returned to the mansion and beckoned his subordinates to discuss matters in the study.
"Vulture, Su Zhiping has slaughtered! It can't be used by Chu Yi. Chu Jiang stared at the vulture.
"No! Are you going to slaughter Chu Yi together? A thin man called a vulture asked, his eyes glowing green.
"Then I'll kill you and don't cause trouble for me!" Chu Jiang's cold air overflowed, and the frightened vultures hurriedly retreated.
Chu Jiang pulled out his matching sword and muttered: "In my world, no one wants to finger dye."
