The girl in the white dress smiled, stood sideways by the door, and said, "My lord, please come in." ”

Yuanhang walked in with a lot of questions, and the girl closed the door and followed.

"Yilan, what's going on?" Yuanhang never thought that the beauty rewarded by the emperor would be Situ Yilan.

Yilan served fragrant tea to the voyage, sat down, and said slowly: "This matter will start after you send me to the back hall and leave." ”

It turned out that after Situ Hao said goodbye to the voyage, he read Situ Zhongda's letter, and he already understood eight points in his heart. It's just that he is the left lieutenant of the Chaozhong District Hall, how can he go back on his word and dissolve the Yilan marriage contract and then allow him to sail away. With a sigh, he got up and walked towards the back house.

Yilan was talking with her mother, and when she saw her father come in, she got up to greet her. Situ Hao waved his hand, sat down at the table, and said, "Lan'er, come and talk to your father." ”

"Yes, father." Yilan looked back at her mother and sat down on the chair opposite Situ Hao.

Mrs. Situ got up and said with a smile: "Your father and daughter haven't seen each other for many days, so you have to talk about it well." Lan'er, my mother is going to tell the cook to make something you like to eat. ”

"Thank you, mother." Yilan smiled and pulled Mrs. Situ's arm.

After Mrs. Situ went out, Situ Hao looked at Yilan and said, "Your grandfather brought a letter to your father, do you know what it is?" ”

"My daughter doesn't know." Yilan didn't expect her grandfather to mention herself in the letter.

Situ Hao thought for a while, got straight to the point, and asked, "Is Mu Bai really not as good as a long voyage?" ”

"Ah, father......" Yilan was unprepared, and was suddenly asked a red face. Hurriedly lowered his head.

Situ Hao already knew it when he saw his daughter's expression. He said in a deep voice: "Let's not say that we and the Li family are close relatives, if we regret the marriage, will your mother agree?" Besides, I am a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, so I will not be talked about behind my back. Alas! Situ Hao sighed in embarrassment.

Yilan had tears in her eyes, only blaming herself for being too stubborn, and never thought that she would make her father so embarrassed. got up and knelt down for Situ Hao, and said: "Father doesn't have to be embarrassed, it's all the daughter's bad, and the daughter is willing to listen to her father's arrangement." ”

Situ Hao stretched out his hand to help Yilan up, and said distressedly: "Why are you doing this, no matter how difficult I am, I have to think about you, but I need to have a perfect plan." ”

At this moment, Mrs. Situ walked in with a smile. Seeing their father and daughter, he put away his smile and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you like that? ”

Situ Hao let go of Yilan and told his wife about the matter. Mrs. Situ looked puzzled and asked, "Lan'er, that kid Mubai is handsome and quite smart, isn't it as good as that person?" ”

Yilan looked up at his father, and Situ Hao continued: "If you want to say that Yuanhang is also good, I have become the prefect of a state at a young age, and I am extremely smart, but I already have two wives......

"What?" Mrs. Situ was taken aback, and interjected: "Daughter, if you don't marry Mubai, why do you want to fight with others." ”

"Mother, I already have a place in my heart. My daughter will not embarrass her parents, so I will go back to Qianling to accompany my grandfather and stay in the boudoir for a long time. Although Yilan's words were light, they hit the hearts of Situ Hao and his wife like thunder. Yilan said goodbye and walked out.

Seeing Yilan leaving, Mrs. Situ was stunned on the spot, relieved herself and said to Situ Hao: "Xianggong, you see that Yilan has made up her mind, what should I do?" ”

"What can I do?" Situ Hao shook his head and sighed, and sat down.

"Well, since Lan'er doesn't want to, I'll tear my face and go to my brother, and if I spend more time with me, I won't withdraw from the marriage." Madame Situ sat down next to each other with a frown.

"It's easy to say there, at most we have the cheekiness to let my brother scold him. But how will the Manchu civil and military view me? Situ Hao glared at him and said to himself, "Alas! Tell me how to see people in the court in the future. ”

Mrs. Situ said with a sad face: "I knew this earlier, why should I do this family business in the first place." ”

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Situ Hao stood up and said to his wife: "You go and persuade Yilan, this matter can be discussed in the long run." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and walked out. Mrs. Szeto sat alone in the room and wept.

Within a few days, Situ Hao received a letter sent by Yuanhang asking for help. Knowing that Xiao Liang sent troops to attack Yizhou, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly told Emperor Yinwen. Emperor Yin Wen immediately issued an order to make his boss Cheng Guangyuan a general, and led the troops of the back hall to reinforcements. He also ordered the states to assemble their troops in the back hall for deployment. When Cheng Guangyuan had put his troops and horses in order, prepared all the grain and grass, and was about to send troops, Sun Ke's good news spread to the back hall. Emperor Yinwen was overjoyed, recalled the reinforcements sent to Yizhou and recruited important ministers to hold a celebration banquet in the palace.

"Haha, ladies and gentlemen, this time Ye Zhizhou and General Sun defeated Xiaoliang in Yizhou to raise the prestige of our country. It's really exciting. Emperor Yinwen Zhang Xian said with a happy face.

"Your Majesty." Zhan Hu stood up and saluted, and said: "Ye Zhizhou is clever and clever, and General Sun wins more with less. These two people are all my great talents, which shows that the emperor is far-sighted and uses people properly. This battle can be said to play a vital role in the battle of our army to recover Xiaoliang. The minister thought that the two should be rewarded heavily. ”

Emperor Yin Wen nodded and said, "Zhan Si makes this reasonable. ”

Gonggong Chen also got up and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the reward should be rewarded, but it should not be rewarded." After all, Ye Zhizhou is still young, and he will be rewarded for winning this battle, doesn't it increase his arrogance. ”

Emperor Yin Wen nodded again and said, "What Gonggong Chen said is also reasonable, let's make a decision after I think about it." ”

"Your Majesty, if Xiao Liang is defeated, people's hearts will be unstable, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, you will definitely win a big victory." Gonggong Chen then played again.

"Oh? Do you mean to send troops to attack Xiaoliang? Emperor Yin Wen looked at Gonggong Chen and asked.

Gonggong Chen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if you send troops from the back hall, you may miss the opportunity, and the slave thinks that he should fly to Ye Zhizhou, and order him to lead the soldiers of Yizhou to pursue all the way, and the emperor will send reinforcements to support and capture Guzhou." ”

"Your Majesty can't." After hearing this, Situ Hao stood up with an angry face, glared at Gonggong Chen, and shouted angrily: "Although Xiao Liang was defeated, he did not hurt his muscles and bones. At this time, the strength of Guzhou is still more than double that of Yizhou, does Gonggong Chen want to send the soldiers of Yizhou to the tiger's mouth? ”

"Lord Situ's words are different. Since ancient times, the soldiers have been fast, and Ye Zhizhou can win more with less in Yizhou, how do you know that he will not defeat the strong with the weak? Chen Gonggong regarded the voyage as a thorn in his side and was eager to get rid of it.

"Alright, don't argue yet. Chen Gonggong's plan was a little impatient. But it's also a good opportunity to reclaim the trabeculars. Emperor Yin Wen thought for a moment and said: "How about this, after the troops of each state are gathered, Feng Situ Hao will be the generalissimo of the expedition, lead the army to the east, and unify the Liang." ”

"Your Ministers obey." When Situ Hao saw the emperor say this, he had no choice but to bow down and say yes.

Situ Hao sat down and drank sullen wine alone, Zhan Hu sat next to him, saw Situ Hao's sad face, leaned over, and said: "Lord Situ, don't worry about Gonggong Chen, he only knows how to manage those eunuchs and palace maids, and how can he know how to march and fight." ”

Situ Hao glanced at Zhan Hu and said with a wry smile: "I won't worry about him, but it's family matters that worry me." ”

"Oh?" Zhan Hu frowned and whispered, "Please stay with me when you disperse later." ”

"Hmm." Situ Hao nodded.

After the celebration banquet ended, Situ Hao waited outside the door for Zhan Hu to come out, and the two walked out of the palace together. Situ Hao told him about Yilan. Zhan Hu laughed when he heard this.

"Envoy Zhan, I'm worried about talking to you. If you don't come to comfort me, why do you still laugh at me. Situ Hao shook his arms angrily and walked forward alone.

"Hehe, Lord Situ stays." Zhan Hu caught up a few steps and said with a smile: "I laugh at the adult, who is a fan of the person concerned." ”

Situ Hao stopped, turned around to look at Zhan Hu, and asked, "What did the envoy say about this?" ”

Zhan Hu Whisker said: "I have a plan, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. can not only follow the niece's wishes, but also block the idle tongue of the court, and naturally there is no need to worry about regretting the marriage. ”

Situ Hao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Zhan Hu's arm and said, "Really? Teach me quickly. ”

Zhan Hu gently brushed away Situ Hao's hand, smiled and said, "Lord Situ, the ten-year wine jar under your house is really delicious, I only gave me a bowl of ...... last time I went to you."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go back and dig it out and send you half an altar, okay? Situ Hao glared at Zhan Hu and said with some distress.

"Hey, thank you, sir." Zhan Hu looked back at no one and whispered: "The emperor gives marriage, who dares to stop it." ”

Situ Hao was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes and looking at Zhan Hu. Zhan Hu said again: "The voyage has made a great contribution, and the emperor is about to reward it, so why not use the emperor's mouth to reward his niece to the voyage." ”

"This ...... This is possible, and the palace maids who can always be rewarded are the palace maids, how can the minister's daughter be rewarded to the meritorious hero. Situ Hao asked with some concern.

"It's man-made, as long as you tell the emperor the truth, this matter will be done." Zhan Hu was confident, nodded and said.

"But I can't say it, after all, Yilan is my daughter." Situ Hao looked at Zhan Hu and said with a smile: "For the sake of your niece, I have to worry about the envoy in this matter." ”

"This ...... Hehe, I'll be able to do it. It is...... It's just that this wine is a little insufficient. "Zhan Hu took the opportunity to slaughter Situ Hao.

As soon as Situ Hao heard that Zhan Hu promised to help, his face bloomed with joy. When he heard that he wanted to drink again, his face suddenly darkened. Gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, old fellow, could it be that the whole altar was given to you." ”

"I don't want you in vain, I will call you to come to my house when I drink, why be so stingy." Zhan Hu said with a smile.

"You old fox." Situ Hao pointed his finger at Zhan Hu and said.

"You still said me, I begged you to ...... last time" Zhan Hu raised his neck and said, Situ Hao hurriedly waved his hand to stop and said, "Come on, it's all given to you." Next time I'll find a chance to earn it back. ”

"Haha......" Zhan Hu laughed.

"Huh." Situ Hao also smiled and walked out of the palace side by side with Zhan Hu.

"Wonderful, what a clever plan!" After listening to what Yilan said, Yuanhang couldn't help but praise it and said, "Uncle and Master Zhan concealed it when they came, and they didn't say a word about it. When Lord Zhan returns, I will reward him well. ”

Yilan pursed her lips and smiled, Yuanhang got up and took her little hand, and said, "Since the emperor has given you a marriage, then you are my wife." There are three sisters before you, and I'll take you to meet them. ”

Yilan nodded and said softly: "I know, my sisters are very good, and Yilan will get along with them." ”

"That's for the best. Let's go, it's time to eat, let's go together. Yuanhang pulled Yilan towards the door, and when he arrived at the door, Yilan shyly withdrew his hand and walked behind Yuanhang.

When I entered the main hall, a maid came out to look for a voyage. A table of wine and food was already on the table. Yuanhang led Yilan to the table, and Wanyue and the others looked at Yilan in a daze.

"I've seen all my sisters." Yilan was generous and decent, and stepped forward to give a salute.

"Yilan? It's you! Wanyo shouted in surprise. Yilan smiled at Wanyu and nodded.
