Even though Jiang Xiaoyu was thick-skinned, he was still a little embarrassed under the old khan's enthusiastic praise, and hurriedly said: "It's just a coincidence, and I haven't done anything, I really can't afford the name of this hero!" ”

"Sudia told me!" Khan affectionately pulled Jiang Xiaoyu's arm, "You are Sudia's benefactor, my benefactor, and our grassland's benefactor!" Did Sudia say thank you properly? ”

"Thank you already!" Sudia wrinkled her nose, "The politeness taught by grandpa, Sudiya remembers it!" ”

"Then grandpa taught you to know how to repay your kindness?" The old khan asked.

"I'll repay Lihou!" Sudia said, "In the future, if Lihou needs Sudia's help, Sudia will definitely do her best!" ”

"Your Majesty!" There was a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, "Lihou has made a great contribution this time, how does Your Majesty plan to reward it?" ”

"This time things can go so smoothly, it is indeed inseparable from these young people!" Emperor Zhou said with emotion, "Marquis Li's hand is Qi Siyuan, and he has made great contributions to capturing Udi alive, and now he is already in the Hou Throne, so how should I reward you?" That's good, I will make you a wish! ”

"A wish?" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned slightly, "Is it okay to have any wish?" ”

"You have no jokes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Xiaoyu clenched his fists and said, "It's just that the minister doesn't know what wish to make now!" ”

"There's no hurry!" Emperor Zhou said with a smile, "The opportunity is rare, naturally you need to think clearly and ask me for this wish, as long as I live, this wish will be counted!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Jiang Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "In this way, the minister really has to think about what wish to make to His Majesty!" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty was able to be safe and sound this time, thanks to General Yu's sacrifice to protect him, Zixin's poor child is now crying and fainting, what a little pitiful child, originally the father and daughter walked together, a group of harmony, how could they know that this kind of thing happened!" Now that General Yu has left this orphan and widow, the mourning family is not a taste in their hearts! ”

"What the queen mother said is that General Yu has meritorious service in escorting, and his orphans will not be treated badly!" Emperor Zhou said.

"Zixin is a girl, this girl always needs someone to rely on!" The Queen Mother said softly, "Your Majesty might as well point her a marriage, and the rest of her life can be regarded as a success!" ”

"Is there a suitable candidate in the mother's mind?" Emperor Zhou asked.

"Your Majesty may not know that Zixin's child has always loved the prince, but there is a marriage contract between the prince and the marquis, and it is not difficult for the mourning family to be strong!" The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and continued, "It's just that now Zixin's child has suffered such a big change, and her father also died because of escorting, and her marrying the prince can be regarded as a wish of General Yu, I believe that Lihou should also be able to understand!" ”

"The minister can understand!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "This is a matter of marriage that cannot be decided by a minister, I am afraid that it is still up to the prince to decide!" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean? It is also common for men and children to have three wives and four concubines, Your Majesty might as well make an order to marry Zixin, which can be regarded as a reward for her father! The Queen Mother said.

"The queen mother has a point!" Emperor Zhou thought for a while and said, "After returning to the capital, I will make an order, so that Zixin can be relieved, what does the queen mother think?" ”

"Since Your Majesty has decided to give marriage, I am not in a hurry at this time, and it is not too late to make an order after returning to the capital!" The Queen Mother said lightly, "After all, Zixin recently lost her father, even if she gets married, it will be three years later!" ”

Of course, this filial piety time can't be counted at all, so I'm afraid it's just to appease Jiang Xiaoyu temporarily, after all, Jiang Yiran used the same means back then!

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't say anything, and after being asked a few words by Emperor Zhou, he sent them back to rest first.

As soon as he got out of the camp, Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "I guessed it, the Queen Mother really wants to make a fuss about this matter, so that Your Majesty is not easy to do, this holy decree is given, this marriage between Zixin and Zhao Ling is a sure thing, Zhao Ling wants to regret it is to resist the decree, once he resists the decree, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while with a calm face and said, "Isn't this holy decree not down yet?" There's still time, let's figure it out again! ”

About in the afternoon, Zhao Ling finally came back from Qishan, first went to report the situation he had to Emperor Zhou, and then went to Jiang Xiaoyu's camp.

Jiang Xiaoyu saw his beard coming out, and he looked a little tired, pulled him to sit down, and gently pressed his temples: "Didn't you have a good rest on the road?" ”

"I'm in a hurry to see you, I don't want to rest!" Zhao Ling rubbed Jiang Xiaoyu's lower abdomen coquettishly, "Your Majesty told me, you killed Qi Siyuan with your own hands!" ”

"But I'm not happy at all!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed softly, "After all, even if I hadn't killed Qi Siyuan, he would definitely die, he can have today, but it was all planned step by step by His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with me...... I was going to take revenge, but I was becoming a tool of His Majesty step by step, although I achieved my goal, but I just couldn't be happy! ”

Zhao Ling grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, kissed it gently, and said, "Don't think too much, think clearly about your purpose, why bother with the process?" Do you think that you are a tool of His Majesty, but from another perspective, why is Your Majesty not your tool? You often say that justice is at ease in people's hearts, whether you and I or Your Majesty, they are just tools of God! ”

"I can't tell you!" Jiang Xiaoyu sat aside, "I always feel unhappy in my heart, Qi Siyuan told me before he died that he acted on the dictates of His Majesty back then, but in fact, how similar was the situation back then to now?" Your Majesty used us to deal with the Changsun family, just like he used the Changsun family to deal with the Bai family back then! I am still confused, I keep saying that I want revenge, but who is my enemy? ”

Zhao Ling wrapped Jiang Xiaoyu from behind, and gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head: "Come step by step, there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed to the world, in my heart, the innocence of the first prince and the first queen and the Bai family is more important, in the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou, they should and must all be clean!" ”

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Jiang Xiaoyu snuggled into Zhao Ling's arms, "Your Majesty is ready to give you a marriage......

"I know about it, too!" Zhao Ling sighed softly, "I didn't expect it to be so difficult just to grow old with you!" ”

"Your Majesty made me a wish because of Qi Siyuan's meritorious work, which may make the Queen Mother worried, afraid that I will use this wish to let Your Majesty re-investigate the affairs of the year, she knows the relationship between you and me, maybe she hopes that I can use this wish in your marriage!" Jiang Xiaoyu said in embarrassment, "Then what do you think I should do now?" Is it better to monopolize your own good, or to seek the truth of the year? ”

"First of all, since it is given to me for marriage, of course, this marriage is decided by myself, and I also want to see if the woman I don't want to marry can force it on me!" Zhao Ling said gently, "Secondly, it is better to follow the rhythm of Your Majesty back then, since he made this wish to you, then he must already have a plan in his heart, unlike Qi Siyuan, His Majesty does not want to make the relationship with the eldest grandson family too stiff, so he will not make a fuss about the things of the year for the time being, and the things of the year are all tools to make the eldest grandson family retreat in the final analysis......"

"You're right, Your Majesty has always wanted imperial power rather than justice, he really wanted to take advantage of the events of the year to make the eldest grandson family unable to turn over, but if before that, the eldest grandson Hu or under the influence of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson family is willing to give up part of the power? Then Your Majesty will definitely not be willing to start a war again! Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "So the timing is very important, we can't let the eldest grandson's family and His Majesty have a time to live in harmony, otherwise the truth of the year will really be buried in the ground for a long time, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Zhao Ling, only to see that he was a little stunned, as if he was thinking deeply, heard her question, and nodded lightly.

"I didn't expect that Changsun Chi was actually His Majesty's person!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed, "How much power does Your Majesty still have that we don't know?" That army, from training to rushing thousands of miles to the grassland, we don't even know the slightest news, to train such an army, not a matter of three or five years, could it be that Your Majesty began to prepare three or five years ago, or did you have a guard against the cavalry battalion three or five years ago? ”

"The position of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in the Great Zhou Dynasty is very high, and Jiang Shuai, who founded the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, has a very high prestige in the Great Zhou, His Majesty is convinced of Jiang Shuai or Qi Siyuan on the surface, but in the end, the person he trusts the most is himself, he wants to be a unique sun, and he doesn't want anyone to be able to cover his light!" Zhao Ling said, "I guess the purpose of training this army is not to want Jiang Shuai's edge to be too sharp, of course, there must be the intention of deterring the Changsun family!" I don't know how many hole cards Your Majesty has left, but as far as the exposed part is concerned, I'm afraid it's scary, it's all scared! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu saw Zhao Ling yawn, touched his face and said, "Okay, you can go back to sleep quickly, and we'll talk about other things when you wake up!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ling kissed Jiang Xiaoyu on the top of his head, and suddenly asked, "What kind of wedding do you want?" ”

"Huh?"

"Didn't you say that you would start preparing for the wedding when you got back?" Zhao Ling smiled lightly, "I want to give you the grandest wedding, and I want to marry you beautifully!" ”
