Chapter 52: The Hunting Storm Rises (7) (2nd Update)
"Brother Seven Emperors, is this appropriate for you? You cut off Chen Jingxuan's eldest son's hand, wouldn't he go crazy when he found out when he went back, and you still blackmailed him so much money, what if you didn't give it. ”
While Li Yi, Tian Lingzi and others were walking in front, Li Yi, the king of Mu, came over, a little worried.
"What do you little kid know?" Li Ye glanced at the Eighth Emperor Brother, who was not sick and sick, but was also a ghost, "Didn't you see that I gave 30,000 of them to the Fifth Emperor Brother?" Even if Chen Jingxuan is angry again and wants to rely on this money, does he dare to rely on the money of the Fifth Emperor Brother? Unless he doesn't want to be in this section. ”
Regarding the blackmail of Chen Jingxuan, Li Ye did not feel inappropriate, it was impossible for the two sides to reconcile, so he would act when it was time to act. I just don't know what Chen Jingxuan's expression will be when he knows that he has unloaded one of his son's hands, I think it will be very exciting. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile treacherously.
Seeing Li Ye's ill-intentioned smile, Li Yi couldn't help but say, "Brother Seven Emperors is really a treacherous and cunning man. ”
"Go, go, go! What kind of cunning and cunning, don't use words indiscriminately. Li Ye patted Li Yi's head and reproached unhappily.
"I'm not wrong." Li Yi muttered, looking aggrieved, and Princess Changning next to her came over to ask what was going on, she didn't hear the conversation between the two, but she saw Li Ye patting Li Yi's head, a little unhappy.
"Your Highness, that's a festival envoy, is it appropriate for you to do that? There is no need to offend the festival envoy for the sake of the little girl. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Liu Chenyan couldn't help but come to Li Ye's side. There was some worry on his face.
What kind of person is Jiedu, the person who controls the military and political power of the entire Xichuan, in front of Liu Chenyan, even if he is from a military family, he is also a behemoth.
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, even if it's not for you, this king has a gap with the Chen family's father and son." Chen Jingxuan is very powerful in Xichuan, but he can't do anything about this king. Not to mention that it is natural for men to protect their women? ”
"Ahh Li Ye's voice was not loud, but Liu Chenyan could hear it clearly, although the Tang Dynasty was open, but she didn't expect Li Ye to be so direct, and her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she was speechless at this time. Nervousness, shyness, euphoria, annoyance, everything.
"Don't you want to be the king's woman? When you came to participate in the hunt this time, you should know that the emperor wants to choose a concubine for this king. Although Li Ye heard that the atmosphere between men and women in the Tang Dynasty was the most open dynasty of the feudal dynasty, and he met a woman who he thought was okay, he temporarily expressed his thoughts boldly. Seeing the other party's shy expression, Li Ye knew that he had succeeded, and there was a play!
"It's not... It's just that.... Due to nervousness, Liu Chenyan suddenly didn't know how to say what was in her heart.
"Just what?" Seeing that the girl who was high-spirited before was now twisted and quite cute, Li Ye was slightly stunned.
"It's just that the little woman has a bad temper, and she has been injured before... Liu Chenyan said a little unconfidently.
If she was in front of other people, Liu Chenyan would definitely not have such an expression, but Li Ye was the person she liked, and when the other party showed her heart, she felt a little inferior when she thought of her situation.
"That skin wound, you say? The king doesn't mind. If the little lady has no opinion, this king can let people tell General Liu about this. ”
"Won't it be too fast?" Liu Chenyan said embarrassedly, but the happy expression on her face was undoubtedly revealed.
"What do you want? It's just that the matter is settled first, it's too early to win you, is Yan'er so thinking about marrying into the Shouwang Mansion. Li Ye inadvertently changed his title, and Liu Chenyan also noticed it, but he did not object.
"It's not... This.... Liu Chenyan's face was as red as a ripe apple, which made Li Ye want to bite down, but Liu Chenyan couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw Li Ye secretly smiling there, her blushing pretty face turned red, and she turned her body sideways, "You bully people and ignore you." ”
Back to the camp, Li Yi and several princes' harvest caused a sensation, as the emperor Li Yi hit a wild boar of more than 300 catties and a clouded leopard, Shouwang Li Ye hit a tiger of more than 200 catties, and King Ji Li Bao hit a black bear of nearly 200 catties. These things that are usually only seen in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, but they didn't expect to meet them in Fendong Mountain, and they thought that there were no such large beasts.
Although tigers and black bears are solitary animals, there must be similar species around them, and the conditions for reproduction are met. Thinking of this, the minds of many ministers and generals became active, thinking about whether to go to a farther place tomorrow to find it, and it is not bad to fight and dedicate it to the emperor, Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan or Shouwang and others, and they can also be appreciated.
However, some people in the camp saw Shouwang talking and laughing with a woman next to him, and many people were a little surprised, although most of them didn't know the woman around Shouwang, but it was not a good thing for a beautiful girl to appear next to Shouwang at this time. There is only one princess of Shou, although in addition to the main concubine, the prince can also marry two widows and ten concubines, and of course there are concubines, concubines, maids, and tricks. However, the status of the four categories such as concubines and concubines is the lowest, inferior to genealogy, and there is no grade.
However, concubines, widows, and concubines are different. The prince and princess are regarded as the first product, the widow is regarded as the fifth product, and the concubine is regarded as the sixth product, which is all people with official status and can attend banquets. And the following concubines, concubines, etc., in later generations, are unsightly second wives, mistresses, etc., and are not recognized by the royal family.
However, there are people in this group who know Liu Chenyan, that is Sun Mei's mother: Song. The Song family was originally passing by the gate of the camp, just when they saw the emperor and the princes returning, and when they saw Liu Chenyan beside Li Ye, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they scolded 'little goblin' in a low voice and left in a hurry.
Of course, as the respective fathers of Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei, they didn't know at all. Since the two families are world friends, although they have never married, the Sun family has children who serve as captains under Liu Qi, and Liu Qi also takes care of each other. However, even two families with in-laws may break up for some interests, this so-called world friendship, when it really concerns their own interests, can they still get along so well?
Sun Ye is at home because he is idle, what makes people go to tea and cool, he understands it very clearly. So when most people went out hunting, he came to his friend Liu Qi to relax, and by the way, he could introduce him to King Shou with Liu Qi's help, and then build a good relationship with King Shou, and then get the emperor's appreciation.
Of course, Sun Ye didn't put all his hopes on Liu Qi, after all, he was also a Jinshi in the middle age, and this time there were also acquaintances in the same class in the same year, and he was also in contact to see if he could enter the rank again.
"Brother Sun, in fact, there is a suggestion, but I don't know if Brother Sun is willing to adopt it." Seeing Sun Ye who came to him to introduce Shouwang in front of him, Liu Qi thought for a while and said.
The two families are world friends, they are passed from the previous generation, and the last generation, the two families are very ordinary, just local clans. It's just that I didn't expect that in this generation, the gap between the two families widened, and the three brothers of the Sun family became the pillars of the Sun family, which made the Sun family one of the larger families in Chengdu Mansion. Although the Liu family is stronger than the previous generation, after Liu Qi's eldest brother died of illness a few years ago, the Liu family relied on him to support him alone.
As a result, I didn't expect the other party to be promoted from the deputy commander of the tooth soldiers on the fifth grade to the Zhonglang general under the fourth rank of the Tiance Army, which suddenly surpassed his previous level, and he was only separated from his second brother by a level on the fourth grade, which made Sun Ye also feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Xian, please speak." Sun Ye looked at the other party expectantly, although he didn't have much hope, but it didn't hurt to listen.
Liu Qi looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he said in a low voice, "Brother Sun is not thinking about entering the court as an official, why not serve in the Shouwang Mansion?" ”
"Shouwang Mansion?" Hearing this, Sun Ye was a little hesitant, he thought that what he had learned was to serve the court and do things for the prince, and he always felt that it was not appropriate.
"Yes. Now there are actually a lot of vacant positions in Shouwang's Mansion, and I heard the eunuchs around Shouwang say that Shouwang's Mansion is now lacking Fu, Changshi and Sima. Fu's words, I can't say, but Changshi and Sima, with Brother Sun's talents, can definitely be promoted.
If Brother Sun thinks it's not suitable, he may not be in Shouwang's Mansion for a long time, and he can use this as a springboard, which is better than being like now. King Shou is now in the ascendant of Grace, Brother Sun can seize the opportunity, if Brother Sun thinks about it and thinks it is okay, I will mention this matter in His Royal Highness King Shou at a later time. If it doesn't work out, I won't dare to pack the ticket. ”
Liu Qi's suggestion made Sun Ye a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant, and he wanted to go back and think about it carefully.
"Then thank you Brother Xian, this recommendation must be remembered in my heart."
