A gust of wind caressed a tuft of mint, and the roll carried a few traces of coolness through the window......

In the envoy's station, several people looked at each other, and a deputy of the envoy took the lead in speaking: "I have to say, the emperor of this Tianpu has made a wonderful calculation, the world knows that Princess Hua Min is the heart of the king of Tianpu, such as today's situation, only Tianpu and my Nanzhao can compete, if this marriage is Princess Hua Min, it will be fine, but when I wait to enter the capital of Nanzhao, a wishful county lord appeared, I think that the emperor dare not take my Nanzhao country in his eyes so much, but he doesn't want to announce the order in public this morning, and he doesn't wait for me to fight back, The emperor ended the early dynasty in a hurry, and never looked at my Nanzhao envoys, this humiliation of my Nanzhao, but also the humiliation of our Nanzhao courtiers, so he decided to fight and want the princess of Hua Min to marry my country. ”

The other deputy said: "Your Excellency, now that the Emperor of Tianpu has ordered the Lord of Ruyi to marry our country, if we raise objections at this time, it will inevitably fall into the tongue, and now that the two countries are equal in strength, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the Emperor of Tianpu to come to the stage too much, this, how can this be good?" , The leader frowned, and said in a calm voice: "As far as I know, this Ruyi county lord is the daughter of the prime minister of the Tianpu dynasty, if it is not for the marriage with my country, this daughter will also become a pivotal figure among the family members of the Tianpu harem.

The deputy then bowed his hand and said: "The name of the prime minister of Tianpu is called Jiang Zhong, since the king of Tianpu took office, he has supported the left and right, and the wind is very good, it is said that this Jiang Zhong was still a talent when he was a showman, he greatly admired good virtues, whether it was an old and helpless neighbor or an orphan who had lost his relatives since childhood, he had received his favor, and then met his wife Wang Anxin when he was the county order, and the lady was also from the people, and it was rumored that the two respected each other as Bin and loved each other, and gave birth to two daughters, one daughter called Ling'er, and one daughter called Die'er, all of whom are famous talented women in the capital of Tianpu, It is rumored that a few years ago, Jiang Ling'er, the eldest daughter of the prime minister, went out to play and made a private agreement with a scholar for life, and Jiang Zhong found out that he made a lot of jokes, and then somehow the scholar disappeared, and Jiang Linger also settled down a lot, at the same time, Jiang Die'er, the second lady of Jiang Mansion, suddenly fell ill, and every time someone saw Mrs. Wang in the early days, they were full of pathos, and some people said that the Prime Minister's Mansion was cursed, but in recent years, it has gradually subsided. Some time ago, Jiang Linger went out to play for the first time, but met gangsters on the road, thanks to the gift of the Emperor Tianpu, Jiang Zhong was grateful to the emperor, and the emperor admired Jiang Linger a lot, so he recognized Jiang Linger as his goddaughter and was named Ruyi. The emperor favored this goddaughter, and specially asked someone to open up a courtyard for her, and allowed her to enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace freely, even Princess Hua Min was never so indulged. ”

After listening to this passage, the envoy slowly took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Jiang Ling'er was about to enter the palace draft, do you know how Jiang Zhong reacted at that time?" The deputy replied: "The minister has never heard of ......", and the envoy interrupted: "At that time, Jiang Zhong secretly tried his best to prevent Jiang Ling'er from entering the palace, but now he can accept Jiang Ling'er marrying Nanzhao, don't you think there is anything strange?" The deputy buried his head deeper, "the minister doesn't know."

The envoy said helplessly: "Help me set up a bureau tonight, I want to go out, don't let others notice", "Yes".

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, "My Excellency, someone has just sent a letter", "Whose letter?" "I don't know who, but the person who sent the letter said that it must be handed over to you", "Oh? With that, Jiang Zhong took the letter, and the little servant immediately retreated. After reading the letter, Jiang Zhong couldn't help but snort coldly, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Nanzhao envoy.

At noon, Jiang Zhong came to Wang Anxin's place to eat together, Wang Anxin was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Zhong coming, and then a warmth arose in his heart, "Husband, I haven't been at the table together for some time." Jiang Zhong also relaxed his tone when he saw Wang Anxin like this, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a while", Wang Anxin saw him sigh like this, so he said: "Husband, has you been worried about Ling'er recently?" Jiang Zhong paused, put down the chopsticks and said: "Ling'er, I can't keep it, will Madam blame me?" Wang An'an's heart was sour, he covered his face and shed tears, moaning and repeatedly: "My Ling'er" finally couldn't bear to cry "My Ling'er".

Jiang Zhong also felt sad in his heart when he saw this, his daughter who had cherished the treasure for more than ten years was about to be sent away by himself like this, listening to Wang An'an whimpering for a while, he remembered that Ling'er at this time was no longer the Ling'er at that time, and Ling'er at this time was just a fake, just a liar. Jiang Zhong was depressed in his heart, and for a while he didn't know whether he was more sad or hateful, and when he saw Wang Anxin like this, he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

"That's it, you can also look at it more, eat about the same, I still have some official business to be busy, let's see you another day" After that, he bypassed behind Wang Anxin, and when he left, he trembled his hand and wanted to touch her back, but he paused and gritted his teeth or left ruthlessly. He knows better than anyone how sad she is in her heart, but he is stubborn in his heart, and it is difficult for him to love Wang Anxin as much as he always does, and it is difficult to carry this family with love.

In the evening, the envoy of Nanzhao went to the prime minister's mansion as promised, "I don't know what the purpose of the envoy's late-night visit is?" Jiang Zhong went straight to the road with a single knife, and the envoy turned to Jiang Zhong slightly: "If His Majesty the Emperor intends to bring the Ruyi County Lord and his relatives to Nanzhao today, I don't know how the Prime Minister thinks of this peace affair?" "This time the harmony is the holy hand-picking, I respect myself and submit to Your Majesty", the envoy raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "I heard that the county lord was originally the eldest daughter of the prime minister, and now the matter of harmony is complete, if the prime minister wants to see the Ruyi county lord again, I am afraid it will take some troubles", "Your Majesty has a life-saving kindness to my daughter, not to mention that the courtier should be like this to Your Majesty", "The prime minister is so loyal and the official really admires, but I don't know if the emperor of Tianpu will always return Yu Qing with benevolence and righteousness?" "Your Majesty's planners and courtiers dare not speculate, but today's visit by the envoy is puzzling to the official, is your Excellency planning to sabotage the matter of peace?" The envoy laughed a few times and said: "I don't dare, but I thought that the prime minister would not be so indifferent to the matter of the Ruyi county lord marrying Nanzhao, I am afraid that this matter is not very comprehensive."

Jiang Zhong took a sip of tea, looked up at the envoy and said, "The Ruyi County Lord is the person I have appointed to Your Majesty, is the envoy worried that your country will not be able to protect the county lord?" Hearing this, the envoy coughed a few times dryly, "I won't, I won't." After a period of entanglement, the envoy of Nanzhao sneaked into the night and left the prime minister's mansion with a dark face, Jiang Zhong glanced at the direction of the envoy's departure with disdain, and turned back to the mansion.

Jiang Zhong thought to himself, no matter how unbearable I am Jiang someone, I will not betray the country, and the words of this Nanzhao envoy are full of provocative words, but I am afraid that he has miscalculated.

The next day, in the imperial study, Jiang Zhong bowed his head and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, now the matter of harmony has been decided, but the envoys of Nanzhao are at a loss to accept this order, presumably there is a lot of unwillingness in their hearts, if you speed up the process and tell the world about this matter as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be a long night and a dream."

The emperor nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is extremely true", and after a while, the emperor asked thoughtfully: "I chose Ling'er to make peace this time, is the prime minister unhappy?" Jiang Zhong leaned over and said: "This should be for the courtiers to share the worries of His Majesty, and the ministers will not complain."

The emperor got up from the seat and walked to Jiang Zhong's side to help him up and said: "That day, you proposed to me to establish the county lord to make peace, I couldn't turn around, two or three days later, you made a plan to make me save Yu Ling'er to make the county lord right, now Ling'er and his relatives are a foregone conclusion, I am a father, I have experienced the pain of marrying a daughter far away and becoming a parent, and now the prime minister is like this, I am deeply ashamed", Jiang Zhong leaned over again and again and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, this is the duty of the minister to be a courtier, and the prince should share the worries."

The emperor held Jiang Zhong's arms and said: "For half a month, I have been in contact with Ling'er, a child, and I know that she is beautiful, intelligent, clever and extremely filial. If it is really filial, it will not leave them one by one, but still said: "The emperor is serious", the emperor patted Jiang Zhong and sighed slightly: "I have you so much peace of mind, but this Nanzhao envoy does not know what kind of means will come up, I am afraid that Ling'er will be less and less on the day of the capital, but I can allow you to do something, if you need my help, as long as it is not a matter of harming heaven and reason, I will agree."

Jiang Zhong was flattered and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
