Chapter 5 Charcoal in the Snow

Although Liu Qian, the emperor of Great Chu, has ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, after all, he was born in the army, so although he was accompanied by a large number of guards, eunuchs, and dragons when he went out, he preferred to ride a horse. In his heart, he has also warned himself countless times: to be a wise and diligent ruler who loves the people like a son.

"Is there any new news from Qingzhou?" Liu Qian turned his head to Shi Dazai and asked.

At this time, the two were walking side by side on the streets of Pingzhou City, followed by a group of internal guards, eunuchs, and honor guards.

Shi Tiangong stroked his beard and said: "The saint can relax as much as possible, a few days ago there was news that the sixth brother Guan had captured the Yumen Pass, and it was a matter of time before the hussar camp was destroyed. ”

The two suddenly stopped at the same time, but it turned out that a team of kissing teams beating gongs and drums and blowing suona came from the opposite side.

Liu Qian immediately smiled and said: "It seems that the ground in Pingzhou is still good for us to govern, and the people of Li live and work in peace and contentment, but this marriage is very common recently!" ”。

Shi Tiangong smiled: "Isn't this all due to the saint's generosity for his brother? Anyway, we have all started a national pilgrimage, and it is time for the Holy Lord to find a sister-in-law for my brothers and others! ”。

Liu Qian raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to mention it when the world is decided." Tell the people behind you to let the marrying team go first. ”

At the order of the saint, the royal honor guard behind them actually flashed on both sides of the avenue, making way for the marriage procession.

When the procession of marriage approached, it suddenly stopped and stopped moving.

Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong were wondering to themselves, an old man in gorgeous clothes led the groom with red flowers on his shoulders and the bride with a red hijab had come to the two horses, knelt on the ground together, and kowtowed.

The old man raised his head and said, "I don't know that the holy car is passing by, and the people such as me are blocking the road of the holy car, and we deserve death!" ”。

Liu Qian laughed and said, "Old man, please get up, what kind of crime are you waiting for?" The road is facing the sky, each going on one side, who said that the widow has to dominate this road? The widow is not used to the big officials of the Great Qi court, and when they go out, they have to support the front and back, sound the gong to open the way, and blast the people far away. can't put out the score, can't play enough prestige, in fact, a few people really pretend to be the people of the world in their hearts? ! The widow wants to set an example for the kings of the generations, so that the marriage procession of your people will pass first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of people watching the excitement on the street and the wedding team all knelt on the ground in unison, and the old man in Chinese clothes was even more moved to tears, and everyone shouted in unison: "My lord is sage, and I have the people of the world in mind!" Long live the saints, long live! ”。

The people all over the street fell to their knees, showing the abruptness of the royal honor guard, and Liu Qian glanced over there dissatisfiedly. An old eunuch led by the honor guard hurriedly raised his leg and kicked a little eunuch standing beside him in a daze, and scolded in a low voice: "Kneel down!" You don't have long eyes! ”。 Soon, the royal guard of honor also knelt down.

Liu Qian raised his hands with great interest and said loudly: "Let's be exempt from courtesy!" ”。

The old man in gorgeous clothes stood up and saluted: "My people of Great Chu can meet such a sage king, it is a great blessing! On this auspicious day of the zodiac, the little old man dared to ask the saint to open the golden mouth for this couple and send blessings, which is the supreme glory of their ancestors and the family! ”。

Liu Qian laughed, nodded in agreement, and was about to say some auspicious words such as "grow old together, tie the knot forever, and be together for a hundred years", who expected that the next scene would make everyone present stunned.

I saw that the bride, who was slender and dressed in a big red wedding dress, suddenly stood up, lifted the red hijab covering her face with both hands, and looked directly at Liu Qian, the Great Chu monarch who was riding on a horse, without shying away from it.

Looking at each other, Liu Qian was stunned for a moment: this little lady has a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, white and delicate skin, and her eyebrows are flirtatious, as if she is smiling but not smiling.

Liu Qian suddenly felt that an old wooden house buried in his heart "boom" ignited everyone, and the flames were raging and completely uncontrollable.

The woman suddenly turned around and shouted to an old man standing not far away, "Dad, I don't want to marry Shen Gongzi anymore, I want to marry Shengshang!" ”。

The crowd was dark and oppressive on the street, but there was no sound, and everyone fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.

Liu Qian only felt hot all over, and hurriedly swallowed his saliva twice, and whispered to Shi Tiangong: "Second brother, eldest brother doesn't know what to do, eldest brother has to take the first step, you stay and deal with it." ”

Shi Tiangong looked at Liu Qian suspiciously, and hesitated: "Big brother, what do you mean ......."

Liu Qian nodded and said, "After all, I am the king of a country, you can just watch it!" Big brother, I can trust you."

The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his leg and gave the little eunuch next to him another kick, and shouted: "Get up, something that has no eyesight!" ”。 Then he quickly stood up first, and shouted in a sharp voice: "The Holy Lord is back to the palace." ”

The crowd of people on the street who had just gotten up hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down, shouting long live.

Taking advantage of the lack of attention, the father of the bride took a few steps forward and pulled his daughter by the sleeve to a carriage carrying the dowry at the back of the procession. The woman quickly slipped in, and his old father pouted his ass and climbed up with difficulty.

In the carriage, the father hurriedly reprimanded in a low voice: "Girl, what are you going to do?" Annoyed the saint, but the door is full of beheading! ”。

The bride smiled slightly and said calmly: "Father, don't worry, I met the saint face to face, and the saint also looked at me closely, and I know from his eyes that he likes me!" ”。

The old man shook his head and said, "Are you sure?" Don't beat chickens and eggs, we will have to compensate the Shen family for the bride price! The Shen family you tossed was disgraced, and if you didn't get it right, you had to file a lawsuit. ”

The bride nodded firmly and said, "Father, don't worry, what's so good about the surname Shen?" Marrying him is nothing more than worry-free food and clothing. But if I can marry the Holy One, you will be the ruler of the kingdom in the future! I am the concubine and even the queen, our family has prospered since then, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven! ”。

The old man hesitated: "Even if the saint is happy, but the age difference between you two is too big, right?" ”

The bride pouted and shook her head, "The Holy One is in the prime of life, and he is not eighty-two years old!" Even if you are seventy or eighty, this deal is a good deal! As long as I can please the saints, my daughter, there will be half of our family in the whole world! ”。

The old man rolled his eyes a few times, clapped his palms and gritted his teeth and said, "For my father, I will go down and withdraw from this marriage with the Shen family!" ”。

The old man pouted his butt again and climbed out of the carriage, dressed neatly, and walked in all directions with confidence, walked in front of his in-laws, and said, "We want to withdraw from the marriage!" ”。

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded.

The old man of the Shen family had straight eyes, and he scolded: "I don't know shame! Old Qin Tou, your daughter is not sensible, are you not sensible either?! ”。

The groom's official didn't do it anymore, and in a fit of anger, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and scolded: "Old Zamao, you returned our family's bride price first!" No, double it back! Otherwise, I'll kill you, sir! ”。

Old Qintou's sons and the bride's elder brothers rushed to the front when they heard the words and scolded: "What's the matter? Want to fight? Little Bunny! Uncle, I see that you dare to move my father's finger today! ”。

The younger of the two groups began to push and shove, eager to try. The crowd of onlookers was even more gossipy, noisy and noisy, saying everything.

Shi Tiangong, who had already dismounted and was standing far away, couldn't help frowning, pointed his finger and summoned the old Qin Tou in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the name of your daughter?" How old is it? ”。

The old Qin nodded and said, "Back to the adult's words, the little girl's name is Qin Cai'e, and she is twenty-eight years old."

Shi Dazai nodded and whispered a few words to a little eunuch next to him. The little eunuch nodded, coughed, and said in a loud voice: "There is a decree ...... the Holy Spirit."

The crowd stopped the chaos and fell to their knees.

The little eunuch then sang: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The Qin family has a woman who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir and is unknown. When I saw it today, I was very relieved. Miss Qin family voluntarily divorced the Shen family, and others were not allowed to interfere. The bride price from the Shen family was doubled and returned to the Pingzhou Mansion the next day to receive it. Miss Qin was immediately sent to the palace, and she admired this. ”

When everyone stood up, the Qin family was arrogant and ecstatic. The Shen family members were all disgraced, with helpless and dazed faces.

Qin Cai'e stepped into the just-completed palace as she wished, and was later named Jin Guifei. His two elder brothers also later entered the court as officials, and the official residence was four-grade.

It is worth mentioning that a pet dog raised in the old house of the Qin family was given the title of "Shih Tzu". A few years later, the upper class in the Great Chu Empire became popular for a while to raise "Shih Tzu dogs", and at the craziest time, a "Shih Tzu" was worth 1,000 taels of silver.

In the big tent of the tribal alliance, the atmosphere was dreary.

Since the last time Sulunga left, there seemed to be an invisible rift between the tribal leaders.

Suddenly, the war horses outside the tent neighed, and the voices of people were boiling.

Alatan stood up in surprise and hurried out to find out. After a while, he turned back with a red face and said loudly: "Bars, Unabatur, I have great news for you: I heard that our tribal alliance has been victorious in its crusade against the Shani tribe. Today, more than a dozen tribal leaders have come to join with tens of thousands of warriors and a large amount of grain and grass! ”。

Everyone immediately smiled, and the haze that had just shrouded the big tent was also swept away.

Unabatur looks up at the top of the tent! With tears in his eyes excited, he said, "Thank you for Immortal Heaven!" Finally, you can kill the Shani tribe without leaving a chicken dog! ”。

Bars stroked his golden beard and smiled, "For our tribal alliance, this is tantamount to charcoal in the snow!" Our tribal alliance has taken the opportunity to work together to set a fire and burn the hateful evil wolves of the Shani tribe to the ground! ”。

Of all the people, only Aslan of the Tatar tribe remained unmoved, and continued to drink with his head bowed, looking sullen.

Bars glanced at him and smiled, "Aslan, cheer up!" The Danoor tribe and you have reached an understanding with each other, what do you have to worry about? ”。

Aslan smiled slightly, slowly raised his head, but still didn't say a word.
