Chapter 247: King Ning is here
Regarding the so-called marriage, Li Mingyuan has not much concept in his heart at all. How did he go from a single aristocrat to the grave of love?
"Qiuzhu, you have to believe me, I'm really innocent, I've met with that Bao Jinhua a few times, and I can't figure out how things can get to this point!" Li Mingyuan was in a painful mess, and this kind of situation in which he was very resistant in his heart, but he couldn't resist it was undoubtedly very painful.
"I'm not as stupid as Sister Yuxin, I will be easily deceived by you!" Qiu Zhu looked at Li Mingyuan and said angrily. Indeed, she can't be blamed for being cautious about this, mainly because Li Mingyuan was too unlucky and was cheated by Zhang Xin and Wang Qi. has fallen into the tragedy of being forced to marry.
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Li Mingyuan raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the starry sky.
Qiuzhu: "~~~~~~~~! β
Regarding Li Mingyuan's upcoming marriage, it is still very sensational in Liangzhou, after all, this product is now a big and small person. The old lady and the lady did not agree with this matter at first. But as soon as he heard that Li Mingyuan won the fight, it was not good to intervene more. After all, this matter is related to the face of the girl's family. If Li Mingyuan doesn't marry her, maybe there will be someone who chews her tongue behind her back.
Zhao Qiying, the only one who could help Li Mingyuan speak, was driven to the capital by Zhao Changwen, and Li Mingyuan couldn't even find someone to help him speak, so he had to passively wait for the day to come.
After this matter was settled, everything was handled by Bao Tonggang. The days went on like this, day by day, Li Mingyuan chased Zhang Xin and Wang Qi behind the buttocks.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, red silk was tied on both sides of the Baofu Gate. Sticking red pairs, hanging lights, and high wedding sheds, officials, relatives and friends are in an endless stream. The family members and maids in the house were so busy that they hit the back of their heads. Li Mingyuan double-inserted gold flowers, the cross was draped in red, and the girl ring mixed the rice with Miss Bao Jinhua, and the two worshiped the flower hall in front of the incense case.
Li Mingyuan has no parents, so it was Xiahou Yong and his wife who came forward, and Bao Jinhua also had both parents dead, in terms of generation. Ning Wang Zhao Changyong should come over. But the prince's status is noble. And the road is far away, so I won't put down my body for my niece's marriage. So the second and third brothers came forward.
After worshipping the parents of heaven and earth, there was a sumptuous wedding banquet, Li Mingyuan was completely a wooden man who was fiddled, and what he was most angry in his heart was why Xie Xian, the Qin Messenger, couldn't come over in time. In that case. Maybe now I'm already holding the captives and setting off. How can there be so many worries today?
Previously, Bao Tonggang repeatedly asked Xiahou Yong to let Li Mingyuan stay in Bao Mansion on the wedding night. Although this is a bit unreasonable, Xiahou Yong can't stand Bao Tonggang's repeated crying. said that he and his sister depended on each other, and now they are going to get married, and they will be from other people's families in the future, and they are very reluctant in their hearts, and so on. Xiahou Yong thought about it, this is not unreasonable, and this request is also human nature. So I nodded in agreement.
Wait until the end of the banquet, so after the guests have dispersed, Bao Jinhua set up a table of wine banquet in the embroidery floor, what descendants are gluttonous longevity noodles, chestnuts and jujubes are fresh and dry, it can really be described as a wild goose in the mountains and clouds, and the cattle and sheep on the land are fresh on the sea.
The husband and wife sat opposite each other and drank, and Li Mingyuan found that Bao Jinhua was restless, uncertain, and her eyes were straight.
Although Li Mingyuan resisted this marriage from the bottom of his heart, he was also a man with a conscience, and since he married a girl, he couldn't help but abandon him again, in that case, not only would he drown him, but his conscience would also be guilty for a lifetime.
Bao Jinhua has something on his mind, and Li Mingyuan can also see it, what he thinks in his heart is that Bao Jingang's death has a lot to do with him, and if he had been humble at the beginning, maybe this would not have happened. The relationship between brothers and sisters for so many years, now that they are gone, how can they not be sad? So he used good words to persuade Bao Jinhua.
Li Mingyuan tried his best to talk to Bao Jinhua, but the girl still didn't say a word. This made Li Mingyuan very helpless, so he had to be deflated and said: "Miss Bao, you really don't blame me for your brother's death." Today, we visited the flower hall, but if you don't want to be this family, I can leave immediately. At that time, with my uncle in charge, I was also helpless! β
As soon as Bao Jinhua heard Li Mingyuan say the word "helpless", she hurriedly accosted her and said, "It turns out that you don't want to do this family business!"
"Yes." Li Mingyuan nodded.
"Why wouldn't you?" Bao Jinhua couldn't help but ask.
"Because I think we did it too hastily, and marriage is no child's play. The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, we don't have any of them, just because I won you in the ring, we are going to get married, I think this is a bit too decisive! Li Mingyuan said bluntly.
Hearing this, Bao Jinhua was also slightly stunned. Although Li Mingyuan indirectly killed her eldest brother, but after so many days, she also thought about it in her heart, and she couldn't blame Li Mingyuan for this matter, if she really wanted to blame it, she could only blame her second brother for being too impulsive.
"Which teenager is not affectionate, which girl is not pregnant with spring" Li Mingyuan is strong and polite. For a girl like Bao Jinhua who is just beginning to fall in love, Li Mingyuan's temptation is still very great. So when she heard that Li Mingyuan was leaving, Bao Jinhua finally put aside her shyness and said, "I will marry you for life, I am willing." β
When Li Mingyuan heard this, he immediately stretched out his daily words and said, "Since you are willing, why are you uneasy?"
"Li Gongzi, I'll tell you the truth. Today, you and I worship the flower hall is true, and entering the cave room is false. My third brother knelt down for me in order to make me do what he had planned. If I don't, he can't stand on his knees. I had no choice but to say yes. β
"What's the plan?" Li Mingyuan was surprised.
"He asked me to get you drunk with wine, and the third watch day told me to smash the cup as a number, he led the troops to besiege the embroidery building, took you, and wanted to divide your body into pieces, and avenge my eldest brother and second brother. Seeing that the third watch is coming, I don't want to hurt you, so I panicked. Li Gongzi, you should run away quickly!" Bao Jinhua put her heart on the side, and finally betrayed her brother.
After Li Mingyuan heard Bao Jinhua's words, the whole person was shocked into a cold sweat, and at the same time thought in his heart: Uncle Shi is right, Bao Jinhua can distinguish right from wrong. She's a good girl.
Grateful to Bao Jinhua for choosing to help herself at the last moment, Li Mingyuan got up and gave a deep salute: "Thank you girl for confiding in her true feelings." I also asked the girl to run away with me. β
"Nope. Li Gongzi, forgive me for not being able to escape with you! Bao Jinhua refused without thinking.
"For what? Don't you want to get out of here? Li Mingyuan was puzzled.
"I really want to leave here with Li Gongzi, my three elder brothers have indeed done a lot of hurtful things over the years. But after all, they are the closest people in this world, so I can't leave without a sound! β
"But!"
"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to persuade me." Bao Jinhua flatly refused.
"But, girl. If I escape, how can your third brother let you?" Li Mingyuan persuaded bitterly.
"Li Gongzi just rest assured, I have my own way to deal with it."
Seeing Bao Jinhua's resolute attitude. Li Mingyuan was also very helpless. At the same time in the heart. Since Miss Bao was so confident, she thought that Bao Tonggang would not poison her sister, so she said in a low voice, "Girl, there will be a period later." "Finished. Turn around and go.
Li Mingyuan walked a few steps. Look back. was dumbfounded, because he saw that Bao Jinhua was about to commit suicide by hitting the wall, and said that it was too late. At that time, Li Mingyuan shouted: "Girl, slow down!" One of her arrows jumped over, and she reached out to pull Bao Jinhua, and just grabbed Bao Jinhua's arm, but then her head hit the wall.
"Oops, not good!" Li Mingyuan couldn't help but scream, hugged Bao Jinhua and took a look, the girl's head was drooping, and her eyes were closed. At this time, Bao Tong just heard shouting from upstairs, and hurriedly ordered someone to go upstairs.
At this time, Li Mingyuan hugged Bao Jinhua's corpse and burst into tears. After hearing the sound of someone going upstairs, he knew that it was not good, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Miss Jinhua, you died unjustly, you called your third brother harmful!" I'm going to take revenge on your third brother!" β
I have to say that although Li Mingyuan is a little, he has always been unserious in his mouth. But there is one thing that many people do not have, that is, emphasizing feelings and righteousness. Although he and Bao Jinhua do not have much deep affection. But the moment Bao Jinhua opened up to him, he already regarded her as his own woman. An object worth guarding.
There is no greater grief than the death of the heart, Li Mingyuan put down Bao Jinhua and wiped a handful of tears, Cangchang! Pull out the town house sword from the wall, poof! Blow out the lights in one go. At this time, lanterns and torches were already held in the courtyard. Li Mingyuan picked up a chair, kicked open the door, threw it down, and shouted: "Bao Tonggang, I'm Li Mingyuan!" As soon as the chairs hit the ground, many people swung their knives and guns, slashing and stabbing indiscriminately.
Bao Jinhua's death still touched Li Mingyuan very much. It had affected his thinking. If Bao Jinhua hadn't died, then with Li Mingyuan's cleverness, he would definitely not have chosen to face Bao Tonggang face-to-face like this. Instead, find a way to avoid the enemy's main forces and slip away while the chaos is in chaos.
The red-eyed Li Mingyuan jumped down from the upstairs and fought with his sword. Bao Tonggang ordered officers and soldiers to surround Li Mingyuan. Although there are many of them, none of them have the ability to stop Li Mingyuan, and not long after they fought, they were dead and wounded, crying and crying, screaming, and completely chaotic.
Li Mingyuan couldn't escape, and the officers and soldiers couldn't catch him. However, the grief-stricken Li Mingyuan killed more and more, and the officers and soldiers became more and more wilted. Bao Tonggang is not stupid, as soon as he looks at this situation, he knows that if he continues to fight like this, Li Ming will have to run away. So this guy rolled his eyes, came up with a plan, and asked someone to scatter the stumbling rope.
Li Mingyuan only cared about his hands, accidentally hit the tripping rope and fell to the ground, and the officers and soldiers rushed up, hurriedly held down Li Mingyuan, and tied the rope.
After some tossing, it was already dawn, and Bao Gang just remembered to take someone upstairs to see his sister. However, Bao Jinhua is nowhere to be found. To say that she is alive and not see anyone, to say that she is dead and not to see the body. Bao Tonggang had no choice but to take people downstairs and order to clean up the battlefield and bury the dead bodies. He asked someone to set up a spiritual shed in the house, put the table of eight immortals, put five offerings, write the eldest brother's spirit card, offer it on the table, plant a stake in front of the spirit card, and ask someone to tie Li Mingyuan to the stake.
"Where's my sister?" Bao Tonggang stared at Li Mingyuan and said murderously
"She killed herself by hitting the wall." As soon as Li Mingyuan mentioned this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Where are the dead?"
"It's upstairs."
"Why not?" Bao Tonggang asked
When Li Mingyuan heard this, he felt very strange; "Miss Bao's dead body is upstairs, why is it gone?"
Bao Tong just learned that his sister was dead, and he couldn't find it anyway, so he didn't ask again. Asked people to prepare to set off three soul-chasing cannons to pluck out Li Mingyuan's heart and sacrifice to the spirit. At this time, someone came to report: King Ning has arrived.
Zhao Changyong has been staying in his fiefdom in Shandong since he failed in the struggle for the throne and was crowned king. Of course, this is only on the bright side. Secretly, only he knows where he has run over the years. Maybe the six doors also know a little more.
In the early years, when Zhao Changyong and Zhao Changqing were both princes, Zhao Changyong's strength was much stronger than Zhao Changqing. ProtΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world. On the contrary, Zhao Changqing had nothing but the support of Chaocheng. Therefore, his throne is also in the fire. If Zhao Changyong had been ruthless back then, he used his influence in Kyushu to rebel directly. Who does this ninety-five position belong to? I really don't know.
Forced by Zhao Changyong's strong military suppression, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he never decided to let it go, for fear of causing a national commotion. So I haven't started against Zhao Changyong.
Zhao Changqing was afraid of various reasons. The strategy of boiling frogs in warm water has always been adopted. Slowly eradicating King Ning's power in the court, and then slowly eradicating his wings outside the court, this is undoubtedly a very difficult journey. Equally. Zhao Changyong himself was not idle, he kept promoting his descendants in Shandong, and used his own deployment to make Shandong a country within a country, and the power of the imperial court could not penetrate at all.
The reason why Zhao Changyong dared to risk the rule that leaving the fiefdom without permission was equivalent to rebellion, and rushed to Liangzhou with swagger, he had something to rely on, and he relied on himself to send military salaries. According to the regulations of the imperial court, the silver should be sent to the capital first, and then sent to Liangzhou after being counted by the household department. But in this way, it is undoubtedly very delayed. In addition, some time ago, the Huns attacked the city, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the emperor ordered the financial department of Shandong to send the silver directly to Liangzhou. And Zhao Changyong took this opportunity to come over.
Although it was later heard that the Huns had withdrawn, there was a rumor from the household department that the army of Shandong had returned. But at this time, Zhao Changyong was already on the road in a hurry, and he turned a deaf ear to the announcement of the household department, and directly took it to wipe his ass. I believe that if the emperor knew the Tao, he would definitely be angry half to death.
In fact, Zhao Changyong's trip this time was to do his own business under the pretext of escorting military salaries. He wanted to go to Liangzhou to see how many cadres he had recruited. What he thought: If I gather the masters in the martial arts of the world, why don't I worry about the throne? Furthermore, along the way, we should see which officials are close to you and can be promoted, and which officials are against you and can be replaced. Of course, there are treasures in the prefectures, capitals and counties along the way, and then they are drawn and drawn. Then, decide how to move the next move.
Zhao Changyong led a large group of people out of Shandong. Along the way, eat, drink, and have fun, and draw treasures, without having to be detailed.
On this day, there were still ten miles away from Liangzhou, so he ordered not to leave. Why? Waiting for someone to come and greet you. He's going to put this score.
Bao Tonggang heard that his uncle was coming, so he hurriedly ordered Li Mingyuan to be taken into custody first, and he took someone to meet Zhao Changyong.
The news of King Ning's arrival in Liangzhou soon reached the ears of the bigwigs from all sides in Liangzhou, and for a while, the bigwigs were all timid, difficult to choose, and didn't know whether to greet them.
Zhou Mufang Zhiyi, Yumen Hou Xiahou Yong, and Liang Wang Zhao Changwen, the three of them were even more miserable. Don't go, people are a prince anyway, representing the royal face. If you really think about it, there will be no good fruit to eat. But what if you go, you and the others are all feudal officials, and you go to meet Zhao Changyong, who is known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, what will the emperor think? Do you suspect that you and others have any bad motives? All of this makes the bigwigs scratch their ears and cheeks, and they don't know how to decide.
"Master Hou, I think it is still necessary for you to welcome King Ning, after all, people are here to send military salaries. In love and courtesy, we have touched the favor of others, and it is still necessary to go out to greet and greet us! Yue Shenfei proposed.
"But it has always been rumored that King Ning has a heart of disobedience, if we go out to meet us, wouldn't it be impossible to jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it away, if someone sues us in front of the emperor and reverses black and white, it will be difficult to do!" Sun Xianyong said with some fear.
The generals and schools also insisted on their own words and argued endlessly, which made Xiahou Yong even bigger.
The same scene was also staged in the palace, and some of King Liang's staff persuaded him to go to meet him, and some asked him to pretend to be stupid and avoid suspicion.
"That's it, I'd better go to greet you, after all, our brothers haven't seen each other for decades, and it's hard to say if there will be a chance to meet again in the future!" Although Zhao Changwen is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, he and Zhao Changyong are half-brothers after all, and they have not met for so many years, so he still has some sadness.
"Think twice!" The staff of the house knelt down to dissuade. "I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more!" Zhao Changwen waved his hand and said firmly.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, in that case, then Shenfei, you can take a trip for me!" Xiahou Yong thought of the worst of the time, but he really had no choice, so he sent Yue Shenfei out.
"Master Hou, you asked me to greet King Ning?" Yue Shenfei was surprised.
"Yes, that's you!" Xiahou Yong nodded.
Yue Shenfei was dumbfounded all of a sudden, this errand is not a good errand, it is very likely that he will be saddled with a black cauldron, and it will be miserable.
"Master Hou, no, I'm a rough person, I can't do this to greet the royal family!" Yue Shen waved his hand desperately in a hurry.
"Lao Yue, don't be modest, how can you be considered a rough person, in our Tiger Army, you are the leading literati, right, this matter belongs to you!" Xiahou Yong directly vetoed.
When Yue Shenfei wanted to shirk again, Xiahou Yong had already gotten up and left, and now he had to go, and if he didn't go, he had to go. (To be continued......)
