Chapter Seventy-One: Instigation
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Yang Ling returned to Anxi Hall with his front foot, and Queen Qi followed with his hind foot.
"Ling'er, I have heard of your actions in the court today, and you are worthy of being the child of the Guzang Jin family, who is bloody, knows honor and disgrace, and dares to take responsibility. I appreciate it very much!"
Yang Ling only lowered her head, as if she was talking to someone else.
"Someone!" the queen called, and more than a dozen palace maids and temple people came in behind her, holding some rare jewels on their shoulders.
"Put it down!" the queen shook her hand, "These are the dowry gifts of the palace for the little nephew, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will keep the promise of the palace today." This palace will choose an auspicious day and personally complete the marriage for you. β
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen did not stay any longer, and turned around and went out of the palace.
Yang Ling looked at the room full of jewels, and when he looked at it, tears came down.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Queen Mother sent a slave maid to tell you that your wedding date with General Jian has been set, and it will be the eighth day of the next month. Congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess, congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess!"
The little palace maid sent by the queen had a very sweet mouth, but Yang Ling didn't even raise her head. The little palace maid was bored, and silently withdrew after saluting.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is not willing to marry General Jian, and you are still happy there, aren't you boring?" The little palace maid had a familiar acquaintance in the Anxi Palace, and quietly pulled her aside.
The little palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and stuck out her tongue: "Oh, I thought I had a beautiful difference today - fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess has a good temper and treats people kindly, otherwise I will suffer." β
The two of them were talking and walking, but they were confronted by the abandonment again, and they listened to the words of the two for seven or eight minutes.
"Hey......" remembered that day when Yang Ling was full of tears, and his heart seemed to have overturned a jar of old sauce, with mixed tastes.
In the blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the month, and the weather is getting cooler day by day.
"Newspaper-" Above the Golden Palace, the crowd of people gathered, and the eight hundred miles were rushed and frequent.
"Long Fangshan Yu Huyan Yanya, personally led an army of 50,000, Chen Binggu Zang border, and was confronting General Yuwen. β
"Report - the Dragon Fang army of 100,000, led by the Dragon Prince Hu Yanshuo, suddenly crossed the Qilian Mountain and attacked my Tiema Pass. The fighting is tight and rescue is urgently needed. β
"Report - the Iron Horse Pass is lost, the guard Jingbu is killed in battle, and the Dragon Army has advanced to Xiameng and is attacking day and night. My soldiers fought bloody battles, and the casualties were not counted, and I was told ...... emergency."
The battle reports were like a hammer, striking on the court.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have come up with ideas for me!" Emperor Cangyu held his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and only paced up and down the hall.
"This old fox Huyan is very cunning! On the surface, he wanted to fight a decisive battle with me in Guzang, but he asked his son to quietly bypass Guzang and go south to Tiema Pass, forming a flanking attack. My country was hit in the abdomen and back, but it was in some trouble. β
"That's right! Since ancient times, the prince has not been a general, but his son has been personally recruited again and again. This time, Lao Tzu's son is on the same page. β
"The army crossed Qilian, how long did it take more than half a month? The army of the Dragon Fang suddenly appeared, I am afraid that there has been an arrangement. It should have been Huyan Ruya who had expected that our country would reject his marriage contract, and by the way, he used this as an excuse to provoke a war. β
"Gu Zang destroyed the country, my country lost the northwest barrier, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Zang, but he made a surprise attack to break my southern border defense, this old fox is really difficult to deal with. β
"Mo Ruo took advantage of the emptiness of the dragon side, and my army smashed the old nest of Yanyanya?"
Who said that the dragon side was empty? The dragon side had no less than 300,000 troops, and now we have seen only half of them, and where are the remaining half of them hidden? I'm afraid that they are waiting for us to drill into them with open pockets. β
Everyone talked about it, but the general was arrogant but didn't say a word, and the emperor finally couldn't hold it back: "Jian Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry! Huyan Lao'er Chen Binggu Zang is just to restrain Yuwen Chasing, as long as Yuwen can't chase, he will not act rashly. Jian Heng glanced left and right, revealing a contemptuous look, "Huyanshuo Huangkou Xiaoer, don't be afraid! Your Majesty and I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and within half a month, we will definitely drive him back to the desert, and I will not dare to peep east in this life." β
Hearing Jian Heng say this, the emperor's heart was a little calm.
"It's just ......" Jian Heng suddenly paused and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty still has one more matter, and I want to ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." β
"What Aiqing said, could it be your marriage to Ling'er?" the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Exactly!" Jian Heng raised his head, "I also ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to let the ministers and the princess marry as soon as possible, but the ministers have a wish." also let the subordinates go into battle to kill the enemy, and move forward bravely, without any distractions. β
The emperor looked embarrassed: "The wedding date has already been agreed, and all the preparations are coming step by step." Now it's suddenly more than ten days in advance, I'm afraid that the princess will ......"
"Your Majesty, isn't it embarrassing?" he rolled a pair of strange eyes.
"That's not ......" the emperor paced two more steps, "The princess has a temperament, Aiqing also saw it that day." I will go and tell her to-day, that if she wishes, it will be better. If she doesn't want to, I will make a new agreement with her: the day of the general's triumph will be the time when you will be married. Aiqing, what do you think?"
"That being the case, the subordinate has thanked Your Majesty!" Jian Heng stood aside, but there was a little displeasure on his face.
"Ling'er," the emperor called out as soon as he entered the Anxi Palace, "Father, the emperor sees that you are here." β
Yang Ling greeted him: "My father is busy with political affairs, how can I have leisure today?"
"The wedding date is approaching, how are you preparing? I heard that the queen has carefully selected many dowry gifts for you, but you are still satisfied?"
"Father Emperor came today for this?" Yang Ling was a little disappointed.
Seeing her expression, the emperor suddenly raised his voice: "No, my father came today to tell you that the dragon side has used troops against me!"
"Really!" Yang Ling was startled and instantly regained his composure, "Is it because I rejected their prince's marriage proposal?"
"That's just a faΓ§ade. The emperor shook his head, "The country of dragons, tigers and wolves is located in the wilderness, and it is not a day to covet my splendid rivers and mountains. β
"Father, this matter started because of Yang Ling, Yang Ling is willing to go into battle with the army to kill the enemy!" Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Ling'er, I have a million strong divisions, and I am like a cloud, how can I let you go into danger?" the emperor shook his head again and again.
"My father came today to discuss something with you. β
Yang Ling was a little disappointed: "What's the matter with my father?"
"It's the generalβ"
"Why is it him again?" Yang Ling interrupted the Emperor, "what else is he dissatisfied with?"
The emperor paused: "He wants to advance the wedding date, and after marrying you, he will go on the expedition." β
"What is he worried about? Is he worried that I will take the opportunity to regret my marriage, or is he worried that he will die on the battlefield?" Yang Ling snorted, "The military situation is like fire, but he uses this as an excuse to blackmail his father, how can I agree?"
"I don't want to say yes. The Emperor nodded, "But what if he returns triumphantly?"
"Then I will marry him!
"Okay! I will then go and talk to him: the princess wishes him a speedy victory! β
Looking at the emperor's distant back, Yang Ling sighed.
"General, a woman outside the door asked to see her, saying that she had something important to report. β
Jian Heng was a little strange, and groaned slightly: "Let her in!"
"The little woman Yubari has seen the general. β
"Yubari?" the name was a little familiar, he thought to himself.
"What do you want from General Ben?"
Yubari looks left and right.
"You all go down!" he retreated.
"The current queen is my aunt, and now I am on an errand by Princess Yangling's side. Yubari identified himself.
"No wonder your name is familiar, it turns out to be my sister. Jian Heng smiled on his face, and asked Yubari to sit down.
"I don't know why my sister is looking for me all night?"
"Brother, do you know why the princess is reluctant to marry you?"
"Could it be that the foolish brother is vulgar, or is the foolish brother's family not noble enough?" Jian Heng guessed and shook his head, "The foolish brother doesn't know, and I ask my sister to dial one or two." β
"Brother, the sky is full of talents, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, which woman in this country does not want to climb the high branch of her brother? These are not the reasons. β
Hearing Xizhang compliment himself like this, Jian Heng felt very comfortable, and leaned forward: "Why is that?"
"It's because of one man. Yubari suddenly accentuated his tone.
"Alone?" a twinkle flashed in Jian Heng's eyes, "Who?"
"It's the Cang Lingwei, the boy of unknown origin who was abandoned. β
"Cang Lingwei, the one who saved the princess that day?" Jian Heng had heard about it.
"Yes! The princess is afraid that she has already made a secret promise to him. Xi opened the corners of his mouth, a little proud, "But that kid is a wood and stone head, and he hasn't noticed it yet." β
"Why did my sister tell Brother Fool about this?"
"The army is about to be released, that person stays with the princess, and the brother is fighting in front, how can he rest assured?" Yubari glanced at Jian Heng, and Jian Heng changed his face.
"Now there is a golden opportunity to cut off the princess's thoughts. β
"Sister, please speak. β
"If that person also went into battle with his brother, and the two armies were killed by the dragon side when they faced each other, the princess should have no choice. β
"It's interesting! Just how do you get him into the army?"
"He is the emperor's canglingwei, and it is his duty to protect the princess. This battle started because of the princess, and I also heard that the princess was willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, but the emperor did not allow it. That kid does have some skills, so it's better to let him go on the expedition instead of the princess, and just hang on the name of 'Acting Lord Snow Shame'. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone if he not only maintained the reputation of the princess and her brother, but also pulled out this thorn in the flesh?
"Okay! I'll ask the Emperor for someone tomorrow. Jian Heng's eyes narrowed and nodded, "I just don't know why my sister wants to help me like this?"
"The queen asked me to go to the princess that day, and she had already told me: The princess is the future wife of the general, and she is only allowed to have the general in her heart! β
"I see. I met the queen mother the other day, and I will say a few kind words for you and fight for some benefits for you. β
"Someone!" shouted at the door, "Fetch the jade that I brought back from the palace last time." β
The next person took a wooden box, and in the middle was the pair of ambergris jade that the emperor gave him that day.
"Sister, when you meet for the first time, you should be a little bit of a foolish brother's heart, please smile. Jian Heng pushed Nabi in front of Xi Zhang, "In the future, the princess will have to trouble you to take care of it more." β
Yuzhang saw that the treasure was as bright as mutton fat, absolutely extraordinary, and did not refuse, and accepted it with a smile.
"Don't worry, brother, I will help you get that princess like this!haha......"
