Chapter 186: The King's Heart is Unfathomable
"Xiao Min is not young anymore, this time he went out to speak for me, and when he comes back, I will arrange a family affair for him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shi Hu said solemnly.
"Family?" Shi Zhan, who had just stood up, was stunned for a moment.
"What? When I was his age, the third child had already been born! Shouldn't we get married? Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan, and said: "I heard that the daughter of the second family is eighteen years old and looks good, in my opinion, marry the daughter of the second family to Xiao Min, kiss and kiss, no one climbs, no one suffers!" ”
"No, no! Father! This is absolutely unacceptable! Shi Zhan hurriedly pushed it back.
"Can't you? Tell me, do you disagree or do you think the second child disagrees? Shi Hu frowned and asked.
"Neither." Shi Zhan shook his head slightly.
"What's going on? As long as you have no opinion, I dare to say that he will not have an opinion, and as for Xiao Min, he will not listen to my words, so why not? Shi Hu was a little puzzled.
"Before Xiao Min set out on the expedition, Erchen had already set a marriage for him!" Shi Zhan replied with a slight salute.
"What? Got married? Whose daughter? Shi Hu asked in some surprise.
"It's an ordinary woman." Shi Zhan said, bowing his head.
"Han Chinese?" Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan with some displeasure.
Shi Zhan nodded and did not speak.
"Nonsense!" Shi Hu was so angry that he could barely stand, and sat down against a stone bench, panting and scolding: "You bastard!" Back then, you went against my will and found a Han slut, but now you actually set up a family affair for Xiao Min behind my back, and you are looking for a Han person! Are you going to be? ”
Shi Hu's scolding spit flew sideways, out of breath, Lu An and others in the distance saw that Shi Hu's situation was not right, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to ask for instructions, but before he came over, Shi Hu scolded: "Get out!" ”
Lu An and the others were so frightened that they hurriedly turned around and ran, not daring to turn their heads back.
"Father, the inner person has been dead for many years, for Xiao Min's sake, I beg you not to involve her." Shi Zhan knelt in front of Shi Hu again.
"If it weren't for Xiao Min's sake, I would have dug up her grave a long time ago! Say! Who are you looking for this time! ”
"It's a woman surnamed Qin, a native of Jicheng, and her father is now a clerk in the Erchen Army."
"A small piece of paperwork is trying to climb up to my relationship? What a daring thing! I ordered the father and daughter of the thieves to be cut down today! ”
"Father's grace! This matter has nothing to do with their father and daughter! The matter of marriage is also completely because Xiao Min and the girl are in love. ”
Shi Hu was unusually angry, and said to Shi Zhan: "What bullshit! This time I can't help you! I can't help it! I have the final say in his marriage! ”
With that, Shi Hu slowly stood up and walked away slowly, leaving Shi Zhan to kneel there alone.
"Are you blind! Come here and help me go back! Shi Hu shouted to Lu An and the others while panting as he walked forward with difficulty.
Lu An and a few little eunuchs also walked to Shi Hu's side in fear and helped him into Hongguang Pavilion.
Shi Zhan stayed alone for a long time before leaving the palace and returning to the camp outside the city in a trance.
"General." Qin Huaishan saw Shi Zhan sitting silently on the edge of the school grounds, so he walked over and shouted softly.
Shi Zhan raised his head and said, "It's you?" Have a seat! ”
Qin Huaishan cautiously sat next to Shi Zhan and asked, "The general has been sullen since he came back from entering the palace, and he has been sitting here for a long time, I don't know what melancholy is in his heart?" ”
"When I entered the palace today, His Majesty said that he wanted to pass it on to me, and asked me what I wanted, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't understand what His Majesty's intentions were."
When Qin Huaishan heard this, he stood up in shock, his face shocked.
"What is this doing, sir?" Shi Zhan looked at Qin Huaishan suspiciously.
Qin Huaishan looked around and asked solemnly, "How did the general answer at that time?" ”
"Naturally, it was repeatedly refused." Shi Zhan became more and more confused, and asked again, "What do you mean by this, sir?" Could it be that Your Majesty said that I have other intentions? ”
Qin Huaishan nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and said slowly: "It's really fortunate that the general took the Xihua Marquis Mansion and all the soldiers from the Ghost Gate Pass today. ”
"What?" Shi Zhan was confused.
"Has Your Majesty repeatedly said today that he wants to pass on the general?"
Shi Zhan nodded and asked, "How does Mr. know?" ”
"Here's the problem!" Qin Huaishan paused and said: "Your Majesty is testing the general to see if you have the heart to be the emperor, if the general accepts it today, it will be not long before tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of people from the Xihua Marquis Mansion will be slaughtered by His Majesty for all kinds of reasons, even if you don't die, you will inevitably be imprisoned." ”
Why is that? Your Majesty and I have a deep relationship with father and son, and I have never had two hearts for him! ”
Qin Huaishan shook his hand and said, "The art of the emperor has always been like this. The general is in His Majesty's heart, after all, he is a Han Chinese, and it is impossible for you to inherit the unification. However, you have the most elite army of the Zhao State in your hands, and you are quite famous in the Central Plains, once Your Majesty is passed on to others after a hundred years, you will not take the Shi family's country? ”
When Shi Zhan heard this, his spine was cold, he didn't expect Shi Hu to test him like this.
"Back then, Liu Xuande White Emperor City Tuogu also said the same thing to Zhuge Kongming, in the eyes of the old man, this is just a little trick by Liu Daer to test Zhuge Kongming! The general has been fighting in the south and north for decades, and it can be said that he has made great achievements, but the general is biased towards the Han people from the heart, how can His Majesty not have a grudge in his heart? ”
"Today I have repeatedly stated that I do not want to be crowned, Your Majesty should be reassured of me, right?" Shi Zhan asked Qin Huaishan solemnly.
Qin Huaishan shook his head and said, "Old man thinks it's not that simple, I wonder if His Majesty said anything else to the general today?" ”
"It's true that I've said something else, but when it comes to this, I still have to pay compensation to Mr."
Qin Huaishan was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the general said has to do with old decay?" Need generals like this? ”
"Your Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for Xiao Min, she is the eldest daughter of King Yan, I think it is inappropriate, so I lied that Xiao Min has made a marriage with Ling Yuan, and I want to refuse with this, and I didn't want to provoke Long Yan was furious!"
"This ......" Qin Huaishan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled and covered it up: "It's okay, it's okay, the general is also helpless." ”
"But Your Majesty insists on deciding on this family business, and I don't know what to do for a while."
"This matter should not be too contrary to the holy will, otherwise I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the general."
Shi Zhan turned sideways slightly, looked at Qin Huaishan, and asked solemnly, "I have something to say, I want to hear what Mr. means." ”
"General, please!"
"Although I am clumsy, I can also see that the dog and Ling Yuan are in love, but I have always respected Mr. and easily discussed this matter with Mr. Maybe it is a little presumptuous, now that I have opened this mouth in front of the saint, it is better to be fortunate that the fake play is really done, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"
Qin Huaishan looked at Shi Zhan for a long time, and said slowly: "What does the general mean, let these two children get married?" ”
Shi Zhan nodded and said, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, not to mention that these two children are originally willing to do so." As long as Mr. agrees, when Xiao Min comes back, I will take him to meet His Majesty and let His Majesty take back his order. ”
"General, the old man thinks it's inappropriate." Qin Huaishan shook his head, looked at Shi Zhan and frowned, and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, General, the old man is not rejecting the general's good intentions, just like the old man just said, the holy will is difficult to violate, especially in this sensitive period now, the king's heart is unpredictable!" ”
"Does Sir also think that I should let my children and grandchildren become real Hu people?"
"The general is in the court, and some things will definitely be involuntary, so there should be some trade-offs."
"What I'm worried about is that once there are Hu people in the family, they will really get involved in court disputes. For so many years, I have been leading troops outside all the year round, but I don't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, which is the reason why I insisted on not accepting His Majesty's marriage in the first place, and I don't want Xiao Min to accept such an arrangement! ”
"General, you have been made a marquis and worshiped as prime minister, a supreme minister, and there are tens of thousands of elite divisions in your hands, do you think that you can still be alone and stay out of everything?"
Shi Zhan was silent, he clearly knew that being alone was purely his self-deceptive idea. And he fought on the battlefield all his life, just because he shed the blood of the Han people, and wanted to keep the last living space of the Han people in the Central Plains as much as possible.
That's all.
