Chapter 22: Shanqiu's Compromise

Previous Chapter

A few days after Cangzhong Confucianism met the emperor, the emperor finally issued a decree to canonize Shanqiu, the daughter of the general, as the "daughter of the country", which means the daughter of the country. As soon as this news was announced, the general Dedi, who was far away at the border pass, felt that there was another major event to happen in Houhai State, but he had received the holy decree and was far away at the border pass, and he had not completed the task or could not return to China without permission. So he sent a large number of people back to China to find out the specific news.

Then Cangzhong Confucianism ordered him to go to Middle-earth, but in the great cause, he hoped that his teacher could see him with his own eyes before leaving after he got married. But Cangzhong Ru refused, saying, "There are two reasons why the old man is in such a hurry to leave. One is to send Shanqiu to the border to send the safe back, and the second is to come back to stop it after learning the news in fear, and to stop the general on the road, just in case! ”

After hearing this reason, it is no longer irretrievable in the great cause. Before leaving, the seven-foot man in the great cause saw off his teacher with tears.

Cangzhong Confucianism went out of the city gate, and he didn't ride a carriage or horse in his old age, and he was a petty son. Instead, he came to the border day and night, and he rode on horseback in the year of the sixtieth year, and he can imagine what kind of torment it was.

For the belief in his heart, and to prove that he has the ability to cultivate the prince. Cangzhong Confucianism risked his life to gallop on the official road.

In the end, with his faith, Cangzhong Confucianism came to the border in the shortest time. At this time, Cangzhong Ru did not express his true intentions, only said that he was tired of traveling and needed to rest at the border for a few days.

It was Shanqiu who greeted Cangzhong Confucian, wrapped in red armor, and his eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit, although he was a female dependent, but at a glance, he sincerely said with a sense of sincerity, "It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" ”

Looking at Cangzhong Ru's eyes, his tiredness was fully revealed. Shanqiu didn't think too much, and hurriedly found General Qinma to wash the dust for Cangzhong Confucianism.

After receiving the wind, Cangzhong Ru quietly left a note for Shanqiu, asking her to meet him alone at night.

After Shanqiu saw the note, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart. But Shanqiu was embarrassed to refuse, because her name was given by this great Confucian, and according to the tradition of Houhai Kingdom, a name is her lifelong benefactor.

Late at night, Shanqiu came to a desolate place according to the promise of the note, and at this time Cangzhong Confucianism was already waiting. Shanqiu stepped forward and said, "Mr. summoned the little girl late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

Cangzhong Ru did not answer her words directly, but laughed, and said, "When the old man saw that you were still a baby, he concluded that you would definitely become a great weapon in the future, and the majesty of General Shanqiu I saw today was as expected. ”

As soon as it came up, it was flattery, and Shanqiu knew that it must not be simple for Cangzhong Ru to meet him.

Then he said some scenes: "This is thanks to the name of the gentleman back then, helping the little girl, this grace little girl is unforgettable!" ”

After hearing this, Cangzhong Ru nodded with satisfaction and said, "It really has the model of the mother of the country!" ”

Hearing this, Shanqiu said nervously: "Sir, don't assert like this, when the mother of the dynasty is the holy queen, how can the little daughter of the 'Daye Virgin' be compared to the queen's mother!" ”

Cangzhong Ru said disapprerovingly: "You may not have this qualification before, but now you have!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shanqiu's heart was pounding, and her guess was almost fulfilled at this moment. But she still wanted to confirm, and said, "Why did you say that, sir?" ”

Cangzhong Ru looked happy, and said, "When I left the capital, I had already completed the marriage contract with your father as soon as His Majesty suggested, and the emperor readily agreed, this is not just canonizing you as a 'national daughter', your marriage contract is just around the corner!" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism said with a happy smile. But Shanqiu did not have a trace of joy, this seemingly supreme royal wedding is the dream of countless girls, enjoying all the glory and wealth, and being respected by thousands of people.

However, who knows that marrying into the royal family is just a victim of interests, there is no freedom, no self, everything has to contribute to the family, it is a job with only a beginning and no end.

Looking at Shanqiu's empty expression, Cangzhong Ru's heart was also touched, and he sighed and asked, "Why don't you seem to be happy?" ”

Seonjoo didn't answer his words. Cangzhong Ru muttered to himself, "It's as deep as the palace gate, I know you have your suffering!" ”

Shanqiu's eyes were a little moist, and he asked with a little resentment, "Then why does Mr. want me to marry into the royal family?" ”

Cangzhong Ru blamed himself and felt a lot of emotion, and said, "Yes, I am a sinner." I'll push you into the fire pit, but what can be done? ”

Looking at Cangzhong Confucian's coquettish posture, Shanqiu snorted coldly, "Hmph!" Yes, you are a princeling, so naturally you have to share the worries of your master! ”

Cangzhong Ru did not deny Shanqiu's words, and indeed he did all this to consolidate the power of the crown prince. For the sake of the crown prince, he can become a conspirator by any means, putting his life and even his reputation on the line. Since he identified the prince as the master, no matter how many people in Cangzhong Ru scolded him, his firm heart has never wavered, and it is no exception.

Cangzhong Ru said, "You are right, I did everything for the sake of the prince. But can you deny that while I am the crown prince, I have also fulfilled your father's general? ”

When it comes to his father, Shanqiu ignores this. Since learning that she was named a "national girl", Shanqiu is thinking about her own future, and completely ignoring her father's side.

Seeing Shanqiu deep in thought, Cangzhong Ru struck while the iron was hot and said, "Child, do you know how hard your father worked to be this great general? The emperor is guarded against it, the ministers are jealous of her, and the people below think about it and replace her, do you know why? ”

Shanqiu replied, "It's not because my father is a master of high merit and has aroused the emperor's suspicion. ”

Cangzhong Ru said, "You are only half right. Indeed, the great general's great achievements are unparalleled in ancient and modern times, and he has committed the taboo of the emperor. But this is not the most fundamental reason, it is because your father joined forces with the second prince Guoshi Yan, that is the last thing the emperor wants to see. ”

Shanqiu, who has been growing up in the military garden, has no achievements in intrigue. Cangzhongru's words made her deeply suspicious.

Cangzhong Confucianism then said in more detail: "In the great cause, he is the successor appointed by the emperor, and this is also the group training. It stands to reason that as long as the general is close to the crown prince, then even if the emperor is suspicious of the general, he will definitely not embarrass him for the sake of the prince. But the problem is that General Dedi chose to move closer to the second prince, and I don't need to say more about what the emperor will think. ”

Cangzhong Confucian's analysis was very clear, and Shanqiu also heard it very clearly. But Shanqiu still defended his father, saying, "It's not that my father didn't want to get closer to the prince, but the prince seems to have a lot of opinions about his father, and his father has to fall to the second prince." ”

Hear Shanqiu's words. Cangzhong Ru keenly knew that Shanqiu also agreed with his own point of view, so he hurriedly brought the topic to the matter of marriage, and said, "So you can't let these two people continue to be wrong, once the two people are on the same page, the Houhai Kingdom will bear the great changes, and your father will face a big gamble, but no matter whether you win or lose, the glory of your father's life may be drowned out by the saliva of later generations!" ”

"If you don't let things continue to develop, only you Shanqiu can do it. For the dawn of the people of Houhai Kingdom, and for the glory that your father has earned in this life, Shanqiu, I beg you to agree to the old man's request! ”

After speaking, Cangzhong Ru knelt down in front of her. At this time, Shanqiu's mind was greatly stimulated. At this moment, she thought about a lot of things, but no matter how many joys, sorrows, and sorrows she had in the past, she couldn't hide her mood at the moment.

Knowing the things that can't be changed, what Shanqiu can do is to go all out, hoping that since she can't change her own fate in this life, then she will change the fate of others, and her heart has become very brave at this moment.

So she helped Cangzhong Ru to his feet and said, "Sir, when are we leaving?" ”

When Cangzhong Confucianism heard that Shanqiu had agreed, he was almost crazy with joy, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he looked at Shanqiu with gratitude, and said, "We will set off as soon as dawn!" ”

Shanqiu frowned when he heard this, and said, "Mr. has only been here for a day, isn't it too hasty!" ”

Cangzhong Ru said, "It's a little hasty, but I'm afraid that the night will be long and the dream will be too much, so I'd better finish the marriage early!" ”

Shanqiu knew that the long night dream in Cangzhong's Confucian mouth mostly referred to his father's "land", and when he thought of his father, Shanqiu kept asking himself in his heart, is he filial or not filial to do this?

At dawn the next day, Shanqiu followed Cangzhong Ru to leave the border and return to the capital. At this time, Dedi had no clue about searching for the Middle-earth mission in the endless desert, and his spies reported back, saying, "The eldest lady followed Cangzhong Confucianism back to the capital." ”

As soon as the news came out, Dedi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and without the slightest melancholy, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the capital. What he was most worried about still happened, he desperately rushed back, hoping to stop Shanqiu halfway, once the big thing was certain, then he lost a very strong chip.
