Chapter 698: Pearls on the Snow Mountain
"You know what? Lord Duan has returned to Beijing! ”
There was a rumor in the capital that Duan Fei had returned to Beijing, and the first person who heard it first asked, "Which Lord Duan?" ”
Then he suddenly came to his senses and blurted out: "Are you talking about Lord Duan Feidu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" Has he returned to Beijing? How is this possible! ”
Believe it or not, almost everyone squeezed towards the street, but most of them saw only a disappointed crowd on the street, and only a few insisted that they really saw a team of Taurus guards surrounding Lord Duan and going to the leopard room.
Duan Fei did return to Beijing, he suddenly returned to Beijing, just to surprise Zhengde, when he Pegasus came to the front of the leopard room, the first thing he was frightened was not Zhengde, but the golden bull guards guarding the door of the leopard room.
When Zhengde heard the news, he walked out of the leopard room quickly, and met Duan Fei in front of the gate of the Imperial Garden, Duan Fei bowed to Zhengde, Zhengde happily helped him up, and said with a smile: "Duan Aiqing quickly flattened down, Duan Aiqing has worked hard, and there is no need to make such a big gift in front of me in the future." ”
Duan Fei stood up and said with a smile: "Weichen is happy to see the emperor, and he should bow a few more times, the emperor's spirit is better than in the past, it is really gratifying." ”
Zhengde laughed and said, "Isn't this thanks to you? The good news on the front line has been spread, and the whole country is jubilant, and now that the treasury is rich and the world is calm, I am in good spirits on happy occasions, and I look naturally more energetic, but Aiqing is dark and thin, but she is more capable, very good, it's really good. ”
Zhengde clutched Duan Fei's arm excitedly, he didn't realize it at all, and he said again: "Duan Aiqing, I only sent Qin to the north the day before yesterday to deliver the decree, why did you return to the capital today?"
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Wechen and the emperor are connected, Wechen knows that the emperor misses Wechen, and Wechen also misses the emperor, so after the general trend on the grassland was settled, Wechen immediately rushed back to the capital." ”
Zhengde laughed and said, "Why do I think you are Sichun and want to come back early to take a concubine?" It's good to come back, let's go, go to the star-picking tower, I will pick up the wind for you! ”
Duan Fei said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, since you mentioned the matter of taking concubines...... That Weichen is going to have the courage to appeal to the emperor, the emperor, Weichen already has a wife, and he really has no intention of remarrying, the emperor still spared Weichen, Weichen's family has a tigress, it is really not suitable to take a concubine, the original promise to Cen Xuan was just a temporary expedient measure, the emperor Shengming, find a reason to send her back to Guangxi. ”
Zhengde exclaimed: "Why didn't you say it earlier, oops, I saw that little girl playing miles to find a husband, it's very pitiful, I think it's common for men to take concubines, not to mention that you are now a dignified prince, how can there be only one wife in the family?" Wouldn't it make people say that Su Yatou was a jealous woman behind her back? I was impulsive, and immediately agreed to marry you, this golden mouth has been opened, but I can't go back. ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty ......"
Zhengde waved his hand and said: "Forget it, marry it, it's a big deal to marry back and be a decoration, Aiqing, everything must be important to the country, I know that you love Su girl, I also specially recruited her into the palace to ask, she has already agreed, you can rest assured, I will never let you go back to kneel on the washboard, that's it, no need to discuss it, since you have come back, I will order someone to find Shao Zhenren to pick a good day and an auspicious day, and quickly do it for you......"
When it came to this, Duan Fei had to thank him, Zhengde happily pulled Duan Fei to the star picking tower, and after the two sat down, Duan Fei said to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to introduce a person to the emperor, and I invite the little prince of Tatar to see ......."
Ah Zhu bowed upstairs downstairs and said: "Ah Zhu, the minister of foreign crimes, knocks to see the Heavenly Khan, may the Heavenly Khan live forever, long live!" ”
Zhengde jumped up in surprise, threw himself in front of the railing, held on to the railing and looked down, only to see a person wearing a golden calf armor kneeling on the ground, Zhengde said: "You are Azhu?" Straighten yourself up, and raise your head for me to see. ”
Ah Zhi stood up, raised his head and looked at Zhengde, the sun was dazzling, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, only to see a young man in a dragon robe, standing upstairs and looking down slightly, his face was full of surprise, but his demeanor was still calm, from this point of view, there was an indescribable elegance and chic, which was completely different from the heroes on the grassland, but the innate feeling of being high was still impressive.
Ah Zhu was still squinting at Zhengde, Zhengde had already seen Ah Zhu clearly, and he smiled at Ah Zhu: "The heroes on the grassland are really mighty, Guo Zhen, quickly take the little prince upstairs, I want to set up a banquet for Duan Aiqing and the little prince to catch the wind!" ”
Ah Zhu came upstairs, Zhengde talked to him cordially, Duan Fei also interjected from time to time, and the banquet was even more harmonious after the wine and food were put on the table, Zhengde was worried that Ah Zhi was not used to chopsticks, and specially prepared a horn knife for Ah Zhu to cut meat, and he was not worried that Ah Zhu would raise a knife and hurt people.
Ah Zhu is also very open, he knows that Zhengde has a lot to say to Duan Fei, he retired after quickly eating, Zhengde sent Guo Zhen to be responsible for arranging his accommodation, and after Guo Zhen and Ah Zhu left, Zhengde turned around and said to Duan Fei: "Ah Zhu is really a grassland hero, comparable to the auspicious khan of the Turks in the past, Aiqing is the Weiguo Gong of our dynasty, Duan Aiqing, you fought in the Datong Battle and lost the Tatar armor, I have a hunch, our Ming Dynasty will eventually dominate the grassland, now that the Tatars have fallen, the next is the tile spur, And the Duoyan Sanwei who has always been a thief! ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the Tatars have been decided, it is better not to use the sword soldiers lightly, and when we have a firm foothold on the grassland, we will take down the tile thorns in one fell swoop, as for the Duoyan Sanwei, I believe that they will no longer dare to do anything wrong to Da Ming after seeing the fate of the Tatars." ”
Zhengde said with a smile: "Aiqing is right, Duoyan Sanwei is really frightened, a few days after you sent their Shaodu Governor Ji Rilie to the capital, Duoyan Sanwei sent someone to apologize to me, hoping that I would spare them and release their Shaodu Governor, I didn't bother to take care of them at all, and now that Ji Rilie is still imprisoned in your Jinyiwei's edict." ”
Duan Fei was surprised: "Why did you lock him up in the Imperial Prison? It's not in order, right? ”
Zhengde glanced at him and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it for your own good? ”
"For Wechen?" Duan Fei wondered again, Zhengde smiled and said: "Yes, originally Ji Rilie was only imprisoned in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but later there was a woman in the second batch of envoys sent by Duoyan Sanwei, she secretly sent a message to me, saying that she had contributed to the Ming Dynasty and had saved your life, but she refused to say what was going on, and asked me to spare her nephew for your sake, so I wondered, why do you have so many romantic debts?" It's either that the beauty owes you affection, or that you owe others, and you can even provoke Burigude's sister-in-law, I can't even admire you. ”
Duan Fei sighed and recalled: "Weichen remembers, her Chinese name should be Jinzhu, Weichen went to Liaodong a few years ago, and he had been helped by her, this little girl is a reasonable person, how did the emperor reply to her?" ”
Zhengde said with a smile: "I replied and asked her to wait slowly, Lord Duan will talk about it when he returns to Beijing, and then put her nephew in prison, then the little girl looks good, if it weren't for her appearance of caring for you, I would be a little moved, Duan Aiqing, why don't you even take her together, with this level of kinship, I support you to support her father to take charge of Duoyan Sanwei, so wouldn't it cost a soldier to solve Duoyan Sanwei?" ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, your joke is too big, Jinzhu is still a child......
Zhengde said: "Child? You haven't seen her in a few years, have you? People can now come out and fall like a snow lotus on an iceberg...... Spirited ...... Ahem, I wonder if there is a princess of the right age...... Duan Aiqing, do you want to make a trip? ”
Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have promised, it is time for Weichen to take a big vacation now." ”
Zhengde sighed regretfully: "That's a pity, you gave up the beauty of the Franc machine to someone else last time, otherwise we might be able to swallow the Franc machine together......"
Duan Fei smiled bitterly, Zhengde came back to his senses after a while, and said: "Aiqing has just returned from Saiwai, she must be tired, if there is nothing urgent to report to me, go home and rest first, Su Yatou and Yu'er haven't seen you for almost a year, remember to go to the noon gate early tomorrow morning to participate in the court meeting." ”
Duan Fei did indeed have a lot to do, he retreated, and before he could return home, he was stopped by a group of people dressed as grassland tribes.
"Master Duan, do you still recognize our brother and sister?" A sturdy young man rode a horse and shouted to Duan Fei.
Duan Fei had already seen them, it was not that the enemies did not gather, it was Tengger, the son of Oyun Dalai, the leader of Tainingwei, and his sister Sobud.
Duan Fei slowly stepped forward, looked at the two of them and smiled: "It turned out to be Tengger and Jinzhu girl, why did you come to the capital, this official just returned to Beijing today, why did you get the news and rush to me?" ”
Jin Zhu really became a big girl, she is as healthy and plump as other girls on the grassland, now the weather is hot, she is still wearing national costumes, only hot and her face is flushed, the only thing that remains unchanged is her hearty temperament, when she saw Duan Fei, she immediately shouted: "Lord Duan, my nephew is still locked up in your yamen, can we not come to you?" I heard that you returned to Beijing just now, and we didn't believe it very much, but fortunately you really came back, now take us and let my nephew go." ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "Miss Jinzhu, may I ask why this official wants to release Ji Rilie?" ”
Jin Zhu was stunned, and she was surprised: "Master Duan, have you forgotten?" I helped you last time. ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Jinzhu has indeed done the official a great favor, and she should repay her by receiving a little kindness, but ...... Release the auspicious sun and repay the golden pearl girl...... It's two different things, the official has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will never break the law and discipline because of his private abolition, and he asks Miss Jinzhu for forgiveness. ”
