Chapter 192: Go to Henan
Zhu Youzhen's body was a little cold, sleepy and dizzy, but fortunately, under the conditioning of the accompanying doctor, the nasal congestion was better.
Looking at Xia Wanchun who was in his prime, Zhu Youzhen realized that he had passed the age of his establishment, and he was no longer the young man he used to be, no wonder this time he just felt a cold, and it was better than before.
It's good to be young!
Zhu Youzhen may be able to change this era, but what he can't change is his body that is gradually entering middle age.
Xia Wanchun, who is only fifteen years old, has not yet had the opportunity to make such generous and sad poems as "Farewell to the Clouds", and perhaps he will no longer have a sense of generosity and sadness in his life, so now he is only full of vitality, and a little decadence born because of the ruin of the country and the death of the family.
"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!" Xia Wanchun bowed to Zhu Youzhen, although it was still difficult to hide his childishness, but his vigorous vitality was not owned by the old ministers of the court.
"Sit down, sit closer", Zhu Youzhen said and looked at Xia Wanchun: "You are the first Wen Zhuangyuan to engage in martial arts in this dynasty, do you feel wronged?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't feel wronged, the champion was given by His Majesty, and the military position was chosen by Weichen himself", Xia Wanchun bit his lips and teeth as he spoke, his fists clenched very tightly, obviously a little nervous.
Zhu Youzhen only smiled slightly when he saw this, he asked Xia Wanchun to accompany him, just to take this opportunity to get closer to some outstanding young officers, after all, the driving force behind the transformation of the empire came from them.
And now that Xia Wanchun is so nervous, Zhu Youzhen had to take the initiative to make the atmosphere more relaxed, so he asked: "When the title of the gold list was titled, the cave room spent candle nights, although you are only fifteen years old, you can be regarded as a person who can talk about marriage today, can you have a favorite woman?" ”
Zhu Youzhen's words are equivalent to the elders of later generations asking you to talk about girlfriends when they see their juniors.
Xia Wanchun couldn't help but smile shyly, his face was half reddened, he was even more cramped than before, and he couldn't blame His Majesty for asking such a question, of course, he didn't expect His Majesty Zhu Youzhen to summon him without asking him about the national policy, but asking him this.
This doesn't seem to be a topic that kings should be concerned about!
Xia Wanchun may have thought so in his heart at this time.
"Don't deceive me!"
Zhu Youzhen picked up the music in his hand very seriously and pointed at Xia Wanchun, who had a sluggish face.
Xia Wanchun opened his mouth a little embarrassed, as if the face of the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon was as red as a peach blossom at this time: "Back to Your Majesty, there is!" ”
Zhu You sighed, pretending to glance at Xia Wanchun calmly.
didn't speak at first, but his heart was already gossipy, the marriage of the ancients was all decided by his parents, and it was understandable that Xia Wanchun admired people who did not dare to confess.
But as soon as Xia Wanchun answered like this, Zhu Youzhen became curious about gossip, he really didn't expect that Xia Wanchun, who was only fifteen years old, really sprouted a spring heart and had a crush.
Xia Wanchun's eyes widened as he spoke, looking at Zhu Youzhen, he thought that His Majesty would ask who it was, but seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, Xia Wanchun had to swallow back the words that came to his throat for a while.
After all, Xia Wanchun didn't know if he would cause himself or the woman he loved to be punished by His Majesty, after all, this was contrary to etiquette, how could he place his affection on her without the permission of his parents.
Zhu Youzhen was in a hurry to death, and when he saw that Xia Wanchun didn't say anything to himself for a long time, he had to open his emperor's mouth again: "Who is it?" ”
"Xu Zhaohua, the grandson of the former Grand Sima Shanggong, and the niece of the current Duchess Qi, the right attendant of the household department, took a look at it when he visited Qi Shilang with his father in Nanjing, and felt that this woman should only be in heaven!"
After Xia Wanchun finished speaking, he lowered his head, hurriedly bowed down again, and said in a panic: "Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, Weichen did not intend to violate military discipline and trespass into Duke Qi's house, but because his sister (Xia Shuji) was invited to go and tell Mrs. Qi about the Guards!" ”
"Even if you are relatives and friends, you can't violate military discipline if you have private contact!" Zhu Youzhen said and looked at He Xin, the judge of the General Army of the Guards: "He Xin, you say yes." ”
He Xin, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was secretly laughing at His Majesty for forcing the new champion of the new department to tell himself, and he didn't notice that Zhu Youzhen was asking him for a while, and when Zhu Youzhen suddenly asked, he nodded suddenly: "Yes, it's not a violation of discipline." ”
At present, the spring breeze is warm, coupled with the slight discomfort in the body, and the affairs of the military state have basically been decided, so he has to wait for the front-line battle report, so Zhu Youzhen simply continued to pick up Xia Wanchun and relaxed.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Shi Kefa: "Shi Gong, you are also from a famous family in Jiangnan, do you know Xu Zhaohua?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Xu Zhaohua is the daughter of Xu Xianqing, Xu Xianqing's wife is the second daughter of the former Sima Shang Zhou Zuo, known as the national color, his daughter is now in the age of the general, Weichen and this daughter have also had a teacher-student relationship, has been out of the best posture, and above his mother's appearance, coupled with his mother's training, he is also a show of wisdom! The new champion loves this gentleman, and it can be regarded as a good match. ”
Shi Kefa also thought that His Majesty the Emperor was going to give marriage to Xia Wanchun, the new champion, and would make himself the main marriage, so he explained it in detail.
However, after Zhu You listened to it, he just said to Xia Wanchun: "Such a famous and noble girl is not good to win her heart, she must have great achievements, although Chang'e has always loved young people, but such a young man must be a hero like Hou Yi, understand?" ”
Xia Wanchun was a little disappointed in his heart, so he didn't say: Your Majesty has nothing to force yourself to ask about your feelings, but it turned out to be just for this? Shouldn't marriage be granted, and the imperial power should be used to promote a marriage, leaving a good story for the ages?
However, Xia Wanchun still nodded solemnly, indeed, as Zhu Youzhen said, Xia Wanchun himself also felt that to be worthy of a lady like Xu Zhaohua, it was not enough to have a champion title.
"The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home, Weichen understands!"
Hearing Xia Wanchun say this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but glare: "Are you angry that I didn't give you a marriage to say such a big thing?" Stinky boy, how can a woman in this world rely on what others give, she has to fight for it herself! But I can help you, lest Xu Xianqing's guy get drunk and marry his daughter out as soon as he is happy! ”
As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen asked Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to instruct: "Send someone back to Beijing to tell the queen, let her make a decree, and take Xu Zhaohua, the daughter of Xu Xianqing, into the palace as the queen's daughter and teach etiquette on the grounds that Xu Zhaohua, the daughter of Xu Xianqing, has good looks and outstanding talent!" ”
"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!"
Xia Wanchun was naturally overjoyed.
"Don't be in a hurry to cheer, as soon as I heard that I summoned her into the palace, I thought that I could fly with others? How to win the hearts of others depends on how effective you can build up with your own troops outside, you can write a letter expressing your affection, and I will have someone pass it to her for you, and when you make a contribution outside, I will also help you relay your news. ”
As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Xia Wanchun was full of enthusiasm for a while: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely be able to establish meritorious deeds!" ”
