Chapter 285: Invitation to Merit
After Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Qian went back, they were not interested in other things at all, and fell asleep until the early morning of the second day.
Although a war was ignited on the grassland, the royal court was relatively calmer, Yan Yan didn't know the danger outside, only knew that her young lady went out during the day and came back in the afternoon of the next day, and even the prince and King Jin, who had always been better with the young lady, were nowhere to be seen, so she could only wait silently for the young lady to come back, and pray for the young lady, don't be in any danger, until she saw her young lady come back safely, she was finally relieved!
"Miss is awake?" Yan Yan smiled, "I just heated the porridge, you can eat a little to fill your stomach!" ”
"You're really hungry!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "Get me some, by the way, add another bowl, I'll go see King Jin!" ”
"Good!"
After Jiang Xiaoyu finished washing, he brought another bowl of porridge to visit Zhao Qian, but he didn't expect Sudia to be there, and he was watching Zhao Qian eat on the side!
"Yo, I'm not here at the right time!" Jiang Xiaoyu put down the tray in his hand and said with a teasing smile, "Why don't you come back later!" ”
"Don't!" Zhao Qian hurriedly said, "My arm on this side is useless, this girl is not sensible, she doesn't know how to take care of me, you come here, feed me, how inconvenient my hand is!" ”
"Your other hand is complete!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "I'm nothing, I'm just afraid that if Zhao Ling knows, he will ruin your other arm!" ”
Zhao Qian thought silently: "Then forget it, just stand there and don't move!" ”
"How? Did Udi catch it? Jiang Xiaoyu found a place to sit down at random.
"Hmm!" Sudia nodded, "It's been caught, and now it's with grandma!" The father is dead, and the grandmother only has a son of Udi, but the grandmother is reluctant in her heart, he has made an unforgivable mistake, no one can save it, and at noon today, he should be executed, so far, this dispute that has lasted for almost a year can be regarded as completely calm! ”
She lowered her eyes and looked at the carpet, thought for a while and said: "In the end, in this war, a lot of people died, and the strength of the Qinko grassland is not as good as before, and no one is a winner!" War and hatred always come so easily, but peace is so hard! I wonder if there really will be peace in this world? What will be the price of peace? ”
"Your Majesty is very restrained from the Qimu Grassland, after all, behind the Qimu is Chen Guo, and now Da Zhou and Chen Guo have not yet reached the time to tear their faces, but Qimu should also realize this time that Da Zhou's strength is not something they can compete with, and Da Zhou's actions are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so it should be much more convergent!" Zhao Qian said while drinking porridge.
"So what?" Sudia bit her lip and sighed, "Even so, it is also the strength of Da Zhou, not our own strength, we are ultimately attached to the wings of Da Zhou, once there is a change, it is still difficult to protect ourselves!" The best way now is to find a way to restore the strength of the past! ”
"The demographic losses caused by war can be recovered in a short period of time!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "As long as there is still hope, not to mention that the Qinke grassland has not reached that point, take your time!" ”
"That's right!" Zhao Qian paused, "I just heard about something, which may have an impact on you." That Zixin girl's father still passed away, or died because he protected His Majesty, which can be regarded as a meritorious escort! ”
"Escort?" Jiang Xiaoyu's brows furrowed slightly, "What's going on?" His Majesty was still far away from the rebels at that time, and it was impossible for the rebels to get in, so how could something happen to save the driver? ”
"Said to be an assassin!" Zhao Qian said, "Your Majesty has an assassin around him, and he has blocked a knife for Your Majesty!" But I'm also very surprised that His Majesty would sneak in assassins around him! ”
He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu worriedly: "I may be a little cold-blooded when I say this now, but it is not impossible to happen, saving the driver is a great achievement, and because of the death of the rescue, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will inevitably give a big reward in order to be sympathetic to the widows and orphans, and for Miss Zixin, what reward is what she wants?" In the past, the Queen Mother may not have enough reasons to convince Her Majesty to stand on her side, but now? Although you have also made meritorious contributions this time, in the end, you are still looking for personal revenge, and you can't compare with others! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip lightly: "There is always an endless stream of difficult things, if this is the case, Zhao Ling is afraid that he should have a headache again!" ”
"I really didn't expect it, you all have something to worry about!" Sudia said, "This man lives in the world, and no one has ever had an easy time!" ”
"That's natural!" Zhao Qian smiled, "Nine times out of ten, people who are not satisfied in life are not satisfied in the world, so in the limited vitality, I can pursue endless pleasures!" ”
"It is true that there are all kinds of necessity in life, but is the meaning of life only for pleasure? What about responsibility and morality? Sudia asked rhetorically.
"That can only say that we have different beliefs!"
"It's no different, if you're really just a person for yourself, why save me? In the end, responsibility is as important as morality, but you don't talk about it! Sudia lowered her eyes and smiled, "I admit that I misjudged you before, but in fact, you are also a gentleman!" ”
"Of course I'm a gentleman!" Zhao Qian snorted, was praised twice, and felt a little fluttering in his heart, feeling that this girl Sudia looked a lot gentler today!
A few people were talking, and after a while, they saw the eunuch next to the Queen Mother summoning the three of them.
Sudia said, "You're hurt, so don't go, right?" The Queen Mother didn't have anything to worry about, just asked us about our situation! ”
When Zhao Qian heard this, he was so happy that he picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth: "Then it's okay for you to go, I'll sleep again, the Queen Mother asked, and said that my injury was too serious to get out of bed!" ”
He paused and thought that Zhao Ling was no longer there, afraid that the Queen Mother would embarrass Jiang Xiaoyu, so he was silent for a while and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go with you!" ”
The three of them strolled to the camp commander of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also eating at this moment, and when they saw them coming, they asked Mama Qu to bring two more bowls up, and the three of them said that they had already eaten before giving up.
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at it with his afterglow, Zixin, who had been with the Queen Mother in the past, was really not there.
"You are two girls, but you are the two culprits of this trouble, one kills and one captures, it is really a long face for our women, see who dares to say that women are inferior to men in the future!" The Queen Mother smiled faintly, her eyes were full of appreciation, and she looked really proud of them.
"But I was lucky enough to meet Qi Siyuan, at that time they were defeated like a mountain, killing him was just luck, if there was no His Majesty's previous planning and arrangement, without Princess Sudia taking the lead, how could the minister kill Qi Siyuan single-handedly!" Jiang Xiaoyu hugged his fists.
"Whether it's your luck or not, if you kill Qi Siyuan and kill this rebel, that's a great achievement, and Li Hou doesn't have to be humble!" The Queen Mother said lightly.
"If there is no rescue this time, Sudiya will not only not be able to capture Udi alive, but may also be trapped in the enemy camp, and it is difficult to say whether she can come back!" Sudia said, "Lihou is not only Sudia's benefactor, but also a hero of the grassland!" ”
Just now the battalion commander heard the conversation between Zhao Qian and Jiang Xiaoyu, although Su Diya didn't understand the cause and effect, she still understood Jiang Xiaoyu's difficulties a little, so she pushed her own credit to her, and didn't mention Zhao Qian's matter, just hoping that if it was based on merit, Jiang Xiaoyu would at least not lose to the Zixin girl whose father saved her death!
"Oh?" The Queen Mother's smile was still kind, but there was a slight coldness in her eyes, "How is King Jin's injury?" ”
"The minister is just a small injury, the queen mother doesn't need to worry!" Zhao Qian said with a smile, "Hey, the minister is resigned to his fate, he has no life to charge into battle in this life, he finally became a hero and hero, and he ended up with this ending, if it weren't for Xiaoyu, the minister's little life would have been explained there!" ”
"You kid is talking nonsense!" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Although Your Majesty has planned carefully this time, if you don't do your best to fight, I'm afraid that the rebellion will not be quelled so quickly, and they are all heroes of the Great Zhou!" ”
"Then shouldn't the Queen Mother reward her ministers with something?"
"This reward was supposed to be His Majesty's business...... What do you want? The Queen Mother asked.
"That Qiwen's marriage...... Qiwen is still young, and the minister and the mother don't want her to marry so early, but the eldest grandson is the eldest general, but the eldest grandson is not small, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, we don't want to delay General Changsun, can this marriage be stopped, and the queen mother will choose a suitable lady for General Changsun? ”
"Is this marriage a big event?" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "The marriage between the county lord and Chi'er is already known to the whole dynasty, and the marriage is withdrawn for no reason, how can the mourning family explain to the eldest grandson's family?" Don't keep thinking about these things that you don't have, you will be a family in the future, and you always think about these things that you don't have, how can the two families get along in harmony in the future? Besides, this matter is not something you can say, nor can the mourning family say it, two days ago, the mourning family also received a letter from the eldest princess, saying that the county lord and Chi'er got along very happily! Today's words are just your jokes, don't mention it again! ”
"Obey the order!" Zhao Qian said helplessly.
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu, and asked with a smile, "What about Li Hou?" But what do you want? ”
"The minister just did his duty as a courtier, and he didn't dare to take credit!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
When the Queen Mother was about to say something more, the eunuch entered the palace and said that Emperor Zhou and the old khan arrived, and after a while, they saw the two entering side by side.
When the old khan saw Jiang Xiaoyu, he didn't have time to say hello to the Queen Mother, so he walked over directly and said with a smile: "Come and see, this is our Sudia's life-saving benefactor, the benefactor of the grassland!" ”
