(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Although he has more than ten children, the king of Jibei is not very old, just in his early thirties, quite similar to the emperor's appearance, and his body is fat, not as good as the general and the general of the Chinese army, but a whole circle older than the emperor.

In the early years, he also lingered on horseback, obsessed with talking about martial arts, following his father's expedition and close discussion, since today's son ascended the throne, the martial spirit of the king of Jibei disappeared, only the body was blown up by the wine to become more and more heavy.

He sat in the carriage, first saw the emperor's envoy Shao Junqian, the second time he saw him and the sons and daughters of the close kings who stayed in the capital, and finally accepted the greeting of the Lou and Lan families.

The ceremonial officer introduced, Lou Ji and Lan Yong stepped forward, toasted three glasses at the same time, extended greetings to their father and brother, and invited them into their own color shed to taste the wind reception.

Qiao Zhisu was guiding on the side, and the building was cautious and did not make any mistakes.

King Jibei drank the wine, refused to enter the shed, first greeted Lan Yong, inquired about General Lan's situation in Qinzhou, and then turned his eyes to the foundation of the building, looked up and down, and couldn't help nodding.

"I didn't expect the son of Princess Wu to grow so big."

Lou Ji was slightly angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to bow his head and keep silent, pretending to be shy.

The king of Jibei was still unsatisfied, turned his head to Lan Yong and said: "Have you never seen it, when the princess of Wu entered Beijing, what a sensation it caused, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Tiancheng Dynasty, which had just unified the country, was almost divided because of her, but fortunately, the queen mother made a decision and gave the princess of Wu to General Lou, which can be regarded as quelling a chaos." ”

Lan Yong smiled: "Although I haven't seen it in person, I often hear about it." ”

"Having said that, it is still the Queen Mother who has the most foresight, and only General Lou can suppress Princess Wu in the entire imperial court, and no one else can. Alas, alas, the beautiful woman has passed away, and there is nowhere to ask for it. King Jibei sighed for a long time, not noticing Lou Ji's annoyance, and finally said: "You are a good child, this king likes it very much." ”

When the king of Jibei said this, he agreed to the marriage of the two families, Qiao Zhisu lightly touched the building foundation, and the building foundation thanked him: "Thank you for your Royal Highness's wrong love." ”

"Haha, yes, yes, get along with your own family in the future."

The king of Jibei and his entourage of hundreds of people re-entered the road, and the greeters accompanied them, and the colorful sheds built by each family were useless.

When arriving at the post station, the sky was slightly dark, the king of Jibei did not lose his energy, ordered a banquet, put on the special products brought from the national capital, because there were no outsiders, so all the children of the clan here were invited, men and women sat separately, and talked about family life.

The king of Jibei is not the emperor, he is easy-going, but he attaches great importance to the rules, the ceremonial officer presides over the banquet, and it is not okay to drink more, drink less, and drink indiscriminately, and must be carried out in accordance with the fixed ceremony, and the questions and answers are also in order, and they cannot speak at will.

When it was the turn of Lou Ji, all the people who asked about the current situation of the general and Mrs. Lan were asked, and Lou Ji answered truthfully, and occasionally he couldn't say clearly, and Qiao Zhisu was all relieved.

After a few rounds, the girl retreated first, and after a few rounds, the boy Zhang Shiyu and other boys were also sent to rest, and before the second watch, Lou Ji and others also got up and retired under the signal of the ceremonial officer.

Back in the room, Qiao Zhisu said with a smile: "The family affair has been completed, it is gratifying to congratulate, the seventeenth prince will live up to the general's expectations and will be rewarded." ”

"The king of Jibei hasn't promised yet." Lou Ji doesn't pay much attention to this family business.

"Haha, of course the king of Jibei can't talk directly to his future son-in-law about this kind of thing, he needs to meet the queen mother after entering Beijing, first get the edict of Yi, and then the general will send someone to ask for marriage. But I can see that the king of Jibei is very satisfied with the seventeenth prince. ”

"I hope so." Lou Ji yawned, and Qiao Zhisu retired.

It took a long time for Lou Ji to fall asleep, and in his dreams he was still thinking about what Shao Junqian had said, and he couldn't tell the truth from the false.

The next day back to Beijing, everything went smoothly, Jibei Wang's family, the baggage into the house, he himself went directly into the palace to meet the queen mother and the emperor, Lou Ji and Qiao Zhisu went to see the general, although they all entered the imperial city, the path is not the same, each go to their own door.

Lou Gang had already returned to the city and was having dinner with his father, when he saw Lou Ji coming in, he smiled and said, "How is it, have you seen your father-in-law?" ”

"I saw it, but ......"

Lou Wen had finished eating, and said coldly: "Your third brother will arrange a new house for you tomorrow, and you will get married before I lead the army to the battle." ”

"So fast! There are only more than ten days left, right? Lou Ji was taken aback.

"Isn't it good to be fast? Seventeenth brother, you should have married a long time ago at your age, but it's too late, but the little girl from the Jibei Wang family is only thirteen or fourteen years old, right? ”

"At the age of fourteen, you can get married." Lou Wen felt that the matter was very clear, so he stopped and turned to talk about military affairs with Qiao Zhisu, and it took half an hour to finish.

During the period, Lou Ji was forced to eat at the table by Lou Ji, after eating, the servant came in to clean up the table, after Qiao Zhisu left, the father and son could say something confidential, Lou Ji got up and let go of the side, not daring to sit with his father and brother.

Lou Wen still ignored the foundation of the building, and said to the third son: "Within eight or nine days, Lao Shen and Huangfu of Jizhou will be able to rush to the capital, there is no problem with Lao Shen, Huangfu's family-how are you prepared?" ”

"Don't worry, father, there is no problem at all, all the generals are my father's old department, my father's orders, they all obey them, as long as the emperor enters the barracks, it will be difficult to fly."

"Well, remember, General Duan is brave and strategic, don't reveal the plan to him in advance, General Guan is honest and reliable, you can reveal one or two to him two or three days in advance, Sun and Hua have to make observations again, and the rest of the generals are not available."

"I understand, anyway, my father can go to the barracks the day after tomorrow, and my father will know what thoughts are hidden in the hearts of those generals."

Lou Ji couldn't help but interject: "Your Majesty allowed my father to go out of the city?" ”

Lou said with a smile: "You don't have to be suspicious now, as long as my father enters the barracks, it will be like a fish in water, Your Majesty knows this very well, so he really believes in and relies on our Lou family." ”

Lou Wen was silent, and seemed to agree with this statement.

"Regarding Huangfu Kai, does Your Majesty have an edict?" Lou Ji asked again.

Lou Jian frowned, "Didn't Shao Junqian say it, for fear of leaking secrets, she can't write a word." Lou was smiling, "Shao Junqian came the day before yesterday and talked about some strange things related to you. ”

"Mr. Shao mentioned it to me at Bigfoot."

Lou smiled and said, "You can't really be a fellow assassin, right?" My father and I didn't believe it. ”

Lou Wen said: "I didn't say I didn't believe it. ”

"Hey, what did my father say? Look at the seventeenth brother's soft and weak appearance, like someone who dares to do rebellious things? Besides, what's the benefit of stabbing him? Should it be imprisoned or imprisoned. ”

Lou Wen stared at the seventeenth son, "Why did Shao Junqian tell this lie?" ”

Lou Jian hurriedly replied: "It's simple, it's still a temptation, Your Majesty wants to reuse the Lou family, so naturally you have to be sure that my father will not rebel no matter what." ”

"In that case, I should hand him over and plead guilty, don't let Your Majesty think that I am covering my son, let alone let Your Majesty think that I am involved."

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but Shao Junqian is vague, listening to what he means, it seems that he doesn't want us to hand over the seventeenth brother. Alas, no one can guess what is on His Majesty's mind. Seventeen, you have something to say. ”

Lou Ji listened all the time, and only after getting permission did he say, "If the assassin's name is Hong Daohui, then he did go to my house. ”

Lou Wen remained silent, Lou Hard shot the case, pointed to the building and said, "You...... You...... Say what? ”

Lou Ji said to his father: "Hong Daohui is from Jiangdong, looking for me is just to catch up, nothing else." ”

"Renewing? What is the old? You're not...... Oh, your biological mother is from Wu Guo. Lou Jian sat down slowly and looked at his father, "This is a bit troublesome." ”

Lou Wen said: "Why didn't you say it before?" ”

"Because I didn't know who the Assassin was, and I didn't think he would give my name. But as soon as Shao Junqian said that I was implicated, the child immediately thought of Hong Daohui, and there would be no one else except him. ”

"Careless in making friends, alas, seventeen, you were so careless." Lou Harder fell, so anxious that his face sweated, "What can I do about this?" The assassin must have been beaten and confessed indiscriminately, what will His Majesty think? Why hasn't there been any movement? ”

Lou Ji said: "When the child thinks about it for a long time, he thinks that Shao Junqian is credible. ”

"Shao Junqian has said many things, which one is credible?" Lou Wen asked.

"Regarding His Majesty's desire to be unfavorable to the Lou family." Lou Ji didn't actually hear this, but he guessed that Shao Junqian must have had a similar hint when she came to see her father and brother.

Lou Wen really didn't deny it, Lou said hurriedly: "That's all a temptation, it shouldn't be true." ”

"Brother went to ask Your Majesty?"

"How can such a thing be asked? If Your Majesty had malicious intentions, he would never have given the Lou family such an important task, right? Without a great general, who will eradicate the Huangfu family for His Majesty? Who went to Qinzhou to quell the rebellion? Who is going to crusade against He Rongbu? ”

Lou Ji only looked at his father, "Shao Junqian is willing to take risks, it is not just a temptation, the child thinks that he is really afraid, so he will put himself to death and come to his father for help." ”

"What is there for him to fear? He is the most favored and trusted of His Majesty. "Lou Hard didn't believe that the emperor wanted to deal with the Lou family.

"If you are observing, there will be no disciples, and Your Majesty will not tolerate anyone's slightest mistake, and Shao Junqian is no exception."

"Just an inconsequential typo?" Lou shook his head with a smile.

Lou Wen leaned forward slightly, "Suppose Shao Junqian is really scared." ”

"Father......" Lou was taken aback.

Lou Wen raised his hand, stopped the third son from interjecting, and continued: "There are several important ministers in the court, Shao Junqian didn't look for others, but came to me for help, the only reason was to believe that you were a fellow assassin, and he thought that I was also involved in the assassination. ”

Lou Ji's expression remained unchanged, and he made up his mind not to tell the truth, "Shao Junqian believes in the assassin's confession, it's his business. But the child thought that it was not only that, Shao Junqian must have thought that His Majesty was most afraid and wanted to deal with the Lou family, so he ......"

"Father, you can't believe this guy's nonsense!" Lou Gong said loudly and stood up again.

Lou Wen glared, Lou Jian had to sit down, and instead glared at the seventeenth brother.

"Assuming that Shao Junqian believes the assassin's confession, then Your Majesty must also believe it." Lou Wen is usually rough and domineering, but at this time, he is thoughtful and not chaotic at all.

"So Your Majesty wants to be unfavorable to the Lou family."

"But you're not an Assassin accomplice?"

"It's not." Lou Ji said with certainty.

"Well, in that case, tomorrow I will send you to confront the assassins, either to let His Majesty cut off this thought, or to come to the bottom of the matter, and it is better to be suspicious of each other."

Lou Wen would never risk anything for any of his sons.
