On the second day, Yin Ning woke up very early, but the figure next to the bed really frightened him, but then she was relieved to see that the person lying on the side of the bed was Xu Ji, Xu Ji lay on the side of the bed, Yin Ning couldn't see his expression, but the hands of the two kept holding together, Yi Ning remembered what happened last night, although she was indeed a little out of control at that time, but Xu Ji's reaction was undoubtedly moved by her.

And just as she was staring at Xu Ji, the person lying on the side of the bed in front of her also raised his head, he didn't seem to be very awake, I saw him frowning and twisting his neck, and he also smiled after seeing Yin Ning looking at him: "You're awake, get up quickly." ”

It's very plain, but full of happiness and security, Yin Ning nodded and replied: "You haven't had a good rest after tossing all night, don't go to the camp again today, the wedding date is coming, and others can't say anything." Xu Ji chuckled and stretched out his hand to rub Yining's slightly messy hair and said, "Yes, what Madame said will naturally be followed, I have already handed over everything in the camp to the people under my command to do, and I will stay at home to accompany you before I get married, okay?" ”

Yining suddenly wanted to cry, what she wanted was actually just such an ordinary happiness, she was actually satisfied to be able to live an ordinary life like she liked, but being born in a royal family, how could it be so easy? If it weren't for his father's need for Xu Ji, he wouldn't know who Lu Dao would marry, but fortunately, this person is Xu Ji, which is the most fortunate thing for Yining.

Of course, Xu Ji is a person who does what he says, he really plans to put down this time and not care about the outside affairs, the only thing he has to do is to accompany the beautiful woman in front of him, Xu Ji owes Yining too much. So even if he can only make up for it a little bit, he can at least feel a little more at ease for Xu Ji, and after getting married, he is afraid that he will be stumped by busy affairs and intrigues. I'm afraid it's hard to have such time and opportunity to accompany Yining.

Of course, in fact, it is only a few days before the day of their marriage, and it is fleeting. There is a saying that happy times always pass quietly. Even if Xu Ji is nostalgic for this kind of life, he still has to devote himself to the preparation for marriage, this is the trouble of the royal family, if Yining is not a royal family, maybe the two of them just live quietly is enough.

Although Liu Hong has arranged all matters related to the wedding, as a courtier and a concubine, Xu Ji said that he can't escape anything, not to mention that this wedding means a lot to Xu Ji, not only the establishment of his own identity, but also Xu Ji's compensation for Yining, if a woman can't have a grand wedding. Then it will be a lifelong regret, Xu Ji doesn't want Yining to leave such a regret.

The venue was naturally arranged in Xu Ji's mansion, and Liu Hong's meaning was clear, that is, to tell Xu Ji in this way that he valued Xu Ji, or to announce the existence of Xu Ji to these clans in Luoyang City. Although the intentions are bad, it is not without benefit to Xu Ji, at least Xu Ji's reputation has increased greatly, even if it is not a good reputation, but with the previous He Jin's matter, the world's evaluation of Xu Ji is quite fair. After all, the personal guards who defeated He Jin at least showed that Xu Ji's military talent was outstanding. However, Xu Ji himself scoffed, this kind of confrontation without any tactics can also see that the so-called outstanding military talent is simply nonsense, not to mention that He Jin is the identity of a general after all, even if Xu Ji wins, he doesn't dare to offend He Jin too much.

But it would have been an extra bonus. So Xu Ji was very indifferent, of course Liu Hong wanted to hit He Jin's side more vigorously, but Xu Ji kept pretending not to know what he meant and ignored it. In the face of Xu Ji's attitude, Liu Hong was also extremely helpless, and he couldn't cross the river and demolish the bridge. Not to mention the affairs of the Northern Army, that is, without Xu Ji in the West Garden, it is really impossible to grasp it with one Jian Shuo alone. What's more, Liu Hong has always coveted the elite division of nearly 1,000 people under Xu Ji's command, even if it is too much better than Xu Ji's command of the forbidden army.

However, how could Xu Ji easily hand over his reliance to Liu Hong like this, this is obviously unrealistic, of course Liu Hong can also forcibly deprive Xu Ji of military power, but Liu Hong knows Xu Ji's temperament better, He Jin's matter has made Xu Ji more and more alienated from himself, if he seizes the military power again, I am afraid that he will not be able to find such a powerful helper.

The bright future of reclaiming authority is in front of him, and Liu Hong can only let Xu Ji do it after weighing the pros and cons. Liu Hong's attitude towards Xu Ji is complicated, this young young talent is indeed very reassuring, and he is also his son-in-law, speaking of which, Liu Hong does not seem to need to treat Xu Ji with such an attitude, let alone use Xu Ji in this way, but the suspicion and extreme desire for power accumulated over the years have completely suppressed everything else.

As for Yining, Liu Hong's love for this daughter is of course not false, but compared to his emperor's power, these can be sacrificed. Although this will be a bit ruthless, the emperor's family has no affection at all, so Liu Hong easily convinced himself, as for Yining's future life, Liu Hong no longer cares.

There is only one thing that is important to him, that is, his power, and as his biggest reliance or helper, Xu Ji's importance is also reflected, of course, the way of the emperor has always been rewarded and punished, but Xu Ji's life is really cautious, Liu Hong does not have any handle that can be handled, and the reward is at least in the eyes of outsiders to hold the position of Jinwu is the biggest reward, but Liu Hong himself knows very well that Xu Ji may not be so willing to take this position, Therefore, in order to appease Xu Ji, he gave Xu Ji such convenience on top of the marriage.

So even if Xu Ji is involved in the preparation of the wedding, he feels that he is out of the way, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner, the only thing he needs to do is to wait until the wedding day to meet Liu Hong and then finish, but this brings a huge sense of unreality, Xu Ji hates this feeling, which makes him have a sense of worry that everything is not under control, but this also allows Xu Ji to watch everything around him coldly, from people to things, Xu Ji also sees it clearly.

Marriage can be regarded as one of the most important things in a man's life in this era, and the crown, marriage, and entry, these three Xu Ji only have the crown not yet reached, but he has done many things that people who have not been able to do, although this is not Xu Ji's self-satisfied capital. But it can already be regarded as proof that he is destined to be different from others.

Although reluctant, Liu Hong still summoned Xu Ji. And Xu Ji naturally didn't want to see this guy who brought him infinite trouble again, but he couldn't stop it.

Naturally, such a meeting will not be very pleasant. Not to mention that Liu Hong originally had no good news to tell Xu Ji: "Wen Lie, after you get married, you will immediately take up the post of Jinwu, and the general will probably cause you a lot of trouble, but the Northern Army is the main combat power of the forbidden army, so it is bound to be in my hands only." ”

Xu Ji sat on the side, lowered his head and drank tea, and when he heard this, he put down the cup in his hand and looked up at Liu Hong, his eyes were cold: "Where will you put the princess?" Is it wrong to get married and ignore your wife completely? Xu Ji's words are naturally in the past, but in terms of reason, they are quite derelict in their duties, but Xu Ji doesn't care about these anymore. He said this just to remind Liu Hong of one thing, that is, his Xu Ji's wife is still Liu Hong's daughter.

But Liu Hong just indifferently picked up the teacup on the desk and rubbed it gently, then put down the teacup and said: "Ning'er is my daughter, so she naturally has to put state affairs first, how can she make a mistake because of her children's private affairs?" Wen Lie, you are my minister of the humerus, and you should prioritize it! Liu Hong has already said this very seriously, but he has not yet said it to death, it can only be regarded as a beating, as he said, Xu Ji is indeed the existence of the humerus that he relied on, at least until he takes back the full control of the Northern Army.

But Xu Ji just smiled coldly: "The minister is not just a courtier under His Majesty. He is also the son of the minister's parents, and the husband of the minister's wife. His Majesty said that state affairs should be the priority, what should happen to the minister's parents who are seriously ill? What about the minister's wife who is about to give birth? Zhijin Wu was not in a hurry for a while, and His Majesty was down. Now that the West Garden is not safe, why rush? Liu Hong was naturally angry when he heard this, but he still couldn't say anything. Indeed, Xu Ji's words are reasonable, even the Han law does not force the courtiers to put aside their personal affairs to serve the public. Moreover, Zhu Jun resigned for the sake of his deceased mother and filial piety, not only was he not blamed, but was advertised as a model figure by scholars. But for Liu Hong, others can do this, but you Xu Ji is the son-in-law of his Han Emperor. Naturally, you have to do your best for the country, where can you delay what he wants to do for such and such reasons?

But Liu Hong can't deny what Xu Ji said, it is true that the West Garden is still not safe, although Yuan Shao has indeed been a lot quieter in recent days, but as long as he is in the West Garden for a day, it is a huge hidden danger for Liu Hong, and he can't forcibly expel him from the West Garden, so in the final analysis, Liu Hong still needs Xu Ji to control this new army for him.

Liu Hong is very self-aware, at least in the military, he himself has almost no understanding of military affairs, even if he can completely control the Xiyuan Army, I am afraid it is not necessarily a good thing, but Xu Ji is different, first of all, Xu Ji's military ability has been verified by actual combat, the only thing worth considering is the issue of loyalty, after Liu Hong married Yining to him, there was no such worry, at least Liu Hong himself did not think that it was needed.

It's just that the Northern Army is the most important combat power to garrison the Imperial City after all, and such an important army is not in his own hands, for Liu Hong, it is undoubtedly like a sharp blade that originally belonged to him, but now it is in the hands of others, and what's worse is that this knife is likely to turn against him, so Liu Hong is so eager to recapture the Northern Army.

However, it is not difficult to see in Xu Ji's performance that he is extremely dissatisfied with Liu Hong's series of arrangements, although there is no overt opposition, but Liu Hong can still understand the vague meaning of Xu Ji's words. And Liu Hong himself also understands very well that once Xu Ji becomes the new ruling Jinwu, it will be a huge trouble and threat to Xu Ji himself, and it even means that trouble will find him infinitely from now on. Needless to say, Liu Hong can be sure that He Jin will not let Xu Ji sit in the position of Zhijinwu so easily, after all, this official position is something he has coveted for a long time, or the family behind He Jin has coveted it for a long time.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong suddenly realized one thing, Xu Ji actually didn't take advantage of He Jin, He Jin himself is a fool, but the group of party members behind him who are eager to regain their power Qingliu are not stupid, although they are not fellow travelers with He Jin, they have a common purpose in thinning Liu Hong's power. And this is precisely the reason why even if He Jin is the uncle of the country, he must not let any Jin act recklessly. It's just that although Liu Hong knows this, he insists on pushing Xu Ji to the position of Zhijinwu, and the core purpose is only one, dragging.

Liu Hong had to hold back, once Xiyuan formed enough combat power, he could even replace the Northern Army with Xiyuan. He was very clear about the current situation of the Han Dynasty, and it was a question worth studying that the edict could still be used in a few places outside Luoyang City. Therefore, Liu Hong did not intend to become the master of Zhongxing overnight, what he wanted was just to gradually regain the authority and the world that belonged to him little by little.

"Wen Lie. Needless to say, after getting married, you must take office as the ruling Jinwu, you can do whatever you want, my only requirement is to firmly control the military power of the Northern Army! After Liu Hong said this, he got up and turned to the side door and left, leaving Xu Ji alone sitting on the side drinking tea. Looking at Liu Hong's back, Xu Ji shook his head and showed a slightly mocking sneer, and then put down the cup and left from the main entrance, today is the wedding day, Xu Ji doesn't want to dwell too much on this matter for the time being.

And Xu Ji had already expected that it would be a sure thing for him to take office, and his previous statement was just to get more convenience for himself. The goal was also achieved, Liu Hong had no choice but to give Xu Ji the maximum freedom, and after obtaining such permission, Xu Ji could use more means and methods, which could also turn the situation around Xu Ji a little after this unfair struggle.

And when he returned to his own house, it was almost time for Xu Ji to open the door of the mansion to welcome guests, Xu Ji's relatives and friends were not in Luoyang, so this time the wedding banquet was only attended by a few colleagues with good relations in Xiyuan and most of the imperial relatives, of course, Liu Hong also arrived soon after Xu Ji returned home. But the two of them did not show that they had met before.

Because Liu Hong was anxious to let Xu Ji take over the affairs of Zhi Jinwu, although the marriage this time was huge, but in fact it seemed quite a bit of gold and jade, and there were not many people who really came to Xu Mansion to attend the wedding banquet, and He Jin, as the uncle of the country, did not even respond to a word. This is because the two families are only one alley apart. Of course, Xu Ji didn't think that this guy would have anything good to do, but if he didn't come, he fulfilled his wish.

Yining put on a red robe and put on a red hijab, Xu Ji couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw such Yining, people said that the woman at the time of marriage was the most moving. Xu Ji was originally noncommittal, but today he really believed it, I don't know if it was because he would be a wife or after some expression last night, today's Yining seems to have taken off his previous coquettishness and become mature. What surprised Xu Ji even more was that Yining's expression became calm and indifferent. Xu Ji didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but for him, being able to be happy was the most worthy thing for him to start.

And Xu Ji naturally needs to be dressed in redwoods. Xu Ji has always disliked these bright colors, so he always feels that he is a little awkward in this swaggering outfit. However, today may be the most special day in his life, so Xu Ji still reluctantly put on this shirt that is said to be specially cut for him by Liu Hong.

Because Yining has already lived in Xu's mansion, it saves a lot of trouble, and it is directly the procedure of worshipping the church, Xu Ji's parents are far away in Chenliu, and Liu Hong can't wait for Xu Ji's parents to come, so he is waiting for the newcomer to salute in the hall alone.

Surprisingly, Queen He didn't seem to come, and it is not difficult for Xu Ji to infer that the current queen probably doesn't like her wife very much, and as for why He Jin didn't come, the reason is very simple, Xu Ji is now a genuine relative of the emperor, and the relationship between Xu Ji and Liu Hong is closer than his relationship with Liu Hong, He Jin obviously won't come to find it uncomfortable by himself, let alone in front of Liu Hong.

The person who presided over this wedding was Cao Cao, and Cao Mengde was Xu Ji's few friends in the huge Luoyang City, so of course he would not be missed this invitation, of course, more importantly, after Xu Ji married Yining, Cai Yan, who was sent to the palace for protection, was naturally by Yining's side, so Cao Cao said that he wanted to meet this girl.

Yuan Shao did not show up, but he still entrusted Cao Cao to send a congratulatory gift, which has been blessed, at this point, Yuan Shao's strength is not as small as imagined, no matter what, at least on the surface, Yuan Shao can be much more advanced and retreating than He Jinzhi. Of course, I'm afraid this is not sincere, Yuan Shao is afraid that he would like Xu Ji to die violently, so that no one can stop him from taking charge of the West Garden alone.

In addition to Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong, the rest of the captains in Xiyuan actually participated in Xu Ji's marriage this time, which can actually be regarded as standing in line to a certain extent, and before they really married Yining, they didn't have the capital to make these people consciously attached to it.

Of course, Xu Ji himself is very tired of these guys mixing too many political factors in a wedding prepared for two people, but this is an opportunity for Xu Ji to completely control the West Garden in one fell swoop.

But the opportunity is the opportunity, at least today Xu Ji doesn't want to have any contact with business, at this time he only has the Yiren dressed in redwoods in his eyes, from today on, she is his wife.

And he must protect her well. (To be continued......)
