Only for a very small number of people, harmony is not only a formality, but also a tangible change.

Cui Zhao left the city, and got rid of her sister Mrs. Pingenhou, and also got rid of the shackles of the Cui family and even the entire Great Chu, but the moment she left the city, she still felt a deep fear, which was the fear of legends, aliens, and another world.

She didn't even know who her husband was, and the Huns only promised that they would definitely choose one of Da Shan Yu's favorite grandchildren, and because of the fierce competition, they couldn't reveal their names in advance.

Yahuan around heard a lot of rumors, it is said that the Huns are both curious and afraid of the princess of Pingjin, the so-called selection of the husband is just a prevarication, in fact, no one dares to marry, they all think that they have to be able to suppress the big single in themselves, and there are rumors that the big single in the name of the grandson to marry a woman, and as soon as the bride enters the camp, he will laugh and accept......

Yahuan doesn't have to go with the Huns, glad that she can still stay in Dachu, the Huns don't pay attention to etiquette and shame, anything out of the ordinary can be done, and the princess of Pingjin is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Cui Zhao came to the Xiongnu camp in such a frightened way, with the tragic mood of a big death, several Chu envoys guided her to complete one ceremony after another, not only to abide by the traditions of Chu, but also to accept the customs of the Xiongnu.

The last ritual was rather strange, the bride was removed in advance—a random Hun would certainly not be the groom—and then in front of her, three old men dressed in feathers and animal skins, dancing in a circle, groaning and singing, and a large crowd of Huns around them would respond from time to time.

Seeing many Hun men and women kneeling down and kowtowing and kissing the ground, Cui Zhao finally reacted, this is not an ordinary marriage ceremony, but a serious exorcism.

This is not a good sign, Cui Zhao's heart sank a little, and at the same time, he wondered, the Huns were obviously so afraid of themselves, why did they have to name and kiss in the first place? Could it be that Da Dan Yu really wants to occupy the magpie's nest and marry himself?

Cui Zhao didn't care.

The wedding tent was obviously carefully arranged, and Cui Zhao sat cross-legged on the soft bed according to the arrangement of several Hun women, and most of the headdresses that took more than half a day to make were removed and replaced with Huns-style turbans, which were also decorated with jewels, which were even heavier.

The women also did something akin to exorcism, withdrawing, leaving the bride alone.

Cui Zhao remembered the words of the king of the East China Sea: If the groom comes early, it means that this person not only has a high status, but also cares about the bride's feelings.

The Huns were very drunk and lively, and usually did not allow the groom to enter the cave until the second half of the night or even the early hours of the morning, and if the groom could get rid of the entanglement of many nobles, he must have a high status, and he was anxious to see his new wife.

Cui Zhao silently calculated, now it should be the second watch, if the third watch day is not the groom......

The tent curtain was lifted, and a Hun man walked in, faster than Cui Zhao expected, but she was stunned, unable to determine whether it was her husband.

She couldn't tell the age of the Huns, and felt that this person should be between twenty and forty years old, not handsome, but not ugly, and even a little elegant on his body, which was relatively rare among the Huns, but he wore armor and weapons, and did not look like a newlywed at all.

"I am your husband, and you are my wife." The Hun man spoke, and what he said was Chu language.

Cui Zhao looked at her husband blankly, unable to say a word.

The Hun man looked at his wife carefully by the light for a while, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or not, and he began to untie the weapons on his body one by one, such as strong bows, arrows, waist knives, short knives, and daggers...... Then there was leather armor and clothing.

Cui Zhao's heart tightened, she and the champion Hou have not been married for a long time, and they have no feelings, they have few times they have shared a bed, and they are still a little afraid of this kind of thing, so she forcibly calmed herself down and asked in a low voice: "Do you speak Chu language?" ”

The Hun man nodded, "A little." ”

"Y-What's your name?"

The Hun man did not answer, but walked up to the bride in only a small coat, "Take off your clothes." ”

"Huh?"

"Take off your clothes." The Hun man ordered.

Cui Zhao reached out to take off the turban, but his arms trembled slightly, and he couldn't use any strength, the turban was extremely heavy, like a mountain pressing on his head.

The Hun man helped her take off her headscarf, threw it aside, grabbed her hands, and said: "Everyone says that I can't survive three days, but I'm not afraid, I want to be your husband, and I want to take you back to the grassland safely, and no one will say that you are a disaster star." ”

Cui Zhao looked at those resolute and deep eyes, and felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, and at the same time he was sure that this person had a very high status among the Huns.

On this night, the groom who refused to enter the cave room was the Emperor of Great Chu.

The wedding ceremony in Jincheng has long ended, the scene is very big and grand, not lost to the Huns at all, Han Ruzi only came forward in the final stage to worship heaven and earth with the bride.

Probably in order to curry favor with the Emperor of Great Chu, the bride completely followed the customs of Chu and never took off her hijab.

The ceremonial official canonized her as a noble concubine, and the name was long, and the ceremonial official could still pronounce it in a low voice, Han Ruzi heard it once, but he didn't remember a word.

After the ceremony, the bride was sent into the cave room, and Han Ruzi, who was the groom, returned to the hall to continue to deal with government affairs.

Jincheng's connection with the outside world has been restored, and the number of pieces that need to be handled by the emperor is stacked higher than that of people, which is only a part, and it is not possible to let others do it for them.

Fortunately, with the help of Zhao Ruosu, the Zhongshu people said that they were the people around the emperor, and their main duty was to send the chapter to the eunuchs, and it was rare to see the emperor himself.

Han Ruzi admired Zhao Ruosu more, and it happened that Liu Jie went to deliver the edict to Deng Cui, and Qu Zixi and others were still in the Hun camp, so he ordered him to stay and stand by at any time.

Han Ruzi initially just wanted to use Zhao Ruosu as a consultant, but soon found that this person's ability is not only super memory, but also very knowledgeable, not at all like an ordinary official.

"Your Majesty the Luoyang King Jianhuo's chapter should be approved first." Zhao Ruosu suggested.

The ugly king refused to accept the official position of the imperial court, when he was in Luoyang, he was working under Qu Zixi, as soon as Qu Zixi left, he became nameless and unshared, and many things were difficult to unfold.

The progress is not particularly smooth, the summer has arrived, there are still many displaced people stranded in Luoyang and refuse to return to their hometowns, Han Ruzi can guess the reason, the most important thing is the lack of money, lack of cars, the war in the north, these two things are even more lacking, Luoyang businessmen who have made promises, as soon as they found that the emperor was unstable, they immediately tightened their money bags.

"What should I do? Seal the king and Jianhuo as an official? Or did they issue a strict order to Henan County, demanding that they must cooperate? ”

Zhao Ruosu arched his hand and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, it is better to send a decree to reprimand Wang Jianhuo and let him treat his crimes and make meritorious contributions." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile, "Wang Jianhuo is a hero, he eats soft but not hard, and it is not appropriate to give him an official, I will pass on the edict here to repunate, and he will immediately turn around and flee into the rivers and lakes." ”

"Otherwise, Wang Jianhuo is not a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and the lives of thousands of displaced people depend on him, and he will not let go easily."

"In that case, I shouldn't blame him."

Zhao Ruosu and the emperor have not yet reached the point where they have nothing to say, so they only responded and stopped talking.

Han Ruzi looked at the official document for a while, raised his head and said, "There are no outsiders here, although Lord Zhao speaks freely, there is no need to hide it from me." ”

Zhao Ruosu said: "Wang Jianhuo has no official body, he can't act with official authority, he has no money in his bag, he can't oppress people with wealth, he has no soldiers in his hands, he can't serve the public with force, only the chivalrous name is outside, and the world knows it." However, for the resettlement of displaced people, the chivalrous name is a burden, and His Majesty's attention and trust in him are even worse......"

"Huh?"

Zhao Ruosu immediately knelt down, and Han Ruzi motioned for him to get up, "You say." ”

"Heroes must be righteous, since Wang Jianhuo is valued by His Majesty, he can't enjoy it exclusively, but to share it with his friends, if he agrees, he is betraying the king, if he doesn't agree, he is forgetting his friends. In this case, it is even more difficult for him to use his chivalrous name to do things. ”

Han Ruzi realized.

Zhao Ruosu waited for a while and continued: "If Your Majesty severely reprimands Wang Jianhuo and makes the world think that the ugly king of Luoyang is in trouble, it will be easier for Wang Jianhuo to refuse other people's requests for help, and it will be better for him to ask for help from all parties. ”

"It's like the Tan family in distress?"

Zhao Ruosu nodded.

Han Ruzi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is high-minded, it's just ...... Can Wang Jianhuo understand my intentions? ”

Zhao Ruosu has to give up his hand every time he opens his mouth to reply, and he is never rude, "The Son of Heaven chooses and employs people, of course, it is necessary to test and hone more, if Wang Jianhuo can understand, then everything will go well, if he can't understand, why should Your Majesty stick to one person?" It is better to change the general as soon as possible, so as not to delay the fighter. ”

Han Ruzi pondered for a moment, "Okay, then Lord Zhao will draft a holy decree of questioning on my behalf." He looked at Zhao Ruosu again, "I didn't expect that I was also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger by my side." ”

Zhao Ruosu immediately took two steps back, and was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by the emperor, he said: "Weichen took the liberty to make a statement, fortunately with His Majesty's approval, how can he be worthy of the 'Dragon and Tiger'?" ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is too modest, why don't you 'take the liberty' again and tell me when the Huns will break the siege and go north?" ”

"Your Majesty shouldn't ask Weichen about this matter, others know better."

"Who?"

Zhao Ruosu didn't answer.

"She's a Huns." Han Ruzi immediately understood.

Zhao Ruosu bowed again, but still didn't answer, but the meaning was obvious, it was precisely because the new concubine was a Hun that she was the most qualified to answer the emperor's questions.

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "The emperor doesn't even have this bit of freedom?" ”

Zhao Ruosu said: "There are indeed people in the world who are idle and wild cranes, and they are free by themselves, but they are not beneficial to others. The emperor is admired by all the people, and he also has to care about the people, and he is bound by a body, so he naturally can't be idle. The emperor is the most important, but the most important is freedom. ”

"A light emperor is either a puppet or a faint king." Han Ruzi was a little happy in his heart, although he was still trapped, but this trip was not all bad, Zhao Ruosu, Deng Cui, and many civilian and military generals...... Talent turned out to be in front of the emperor's eyes, far beyond his expectations.

Nearly four watches, Han Ruzi finally returned to the cave room.

The bride, who had been sitting alone by the bed for several hours, removed her hijab, heard the door open, and turned her head to look over.

"Is that you?" Han Ruzi was taken aback, obviously remembering that it was a difficult to remember Xiongnu name.

Jin Zhuidao stood up, with an angry face, and was about to speak, but by coincidence, the candles on the table burned out, and the room fell into darkness. (To be continued.) )
