Chapter 129: An An's Marriage

Pei Shengyuan was very surprised when he received the letter from Lord Gao Can and An An. An An is only thirteen years old, how could he fall in love with Princess Gao Canguo. Presumably this is their conspiracy, but the letter also mentions that if they get married, they can let An An return to China early. This one is very exciting to him.

Yang Mubai is not by his side again, and he has not communicated with Yang Mubai since he came back from Biansai a month ago. He is angry, Yang Mubai is also angry, this anger is estimated to not stop in a short time.

Pei Shengyuan didn't dare to make up his own mind about such a big matter, he sent someone to forward the letter to Yang Mubai, wanting to hear her opinion.

Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China were opposed, saying that he was still young and that it was too early to get married.

There are also some ministers who agree, but they require that marrying Princess Gao Can must be a side room, not a wife.

Pei Shengyuan looked at the two people who were arguing, and their heads were big. He didn't have an idea for a while, this marriage was actually a bargaining chip for the lord of Gao Can to curry favor with the imperial capital, but An An was still too young, and if he married a foreign wife, it would be detrimental to his future.

This matter cannot be decided in a short period of time, Pei Shengyuan asked the ministers to discuss it carefully and then present it to him after the results are obtained.

In order to appease the ministers, Pei Shengyuan panicked that the queen was sick and needed to recuperate, and closed Fengyi Palace, except for his cronies, no one in the palace knew that Yang Mubai was still in Biansai.

The ministers are even less likely to know.

When Yang Mubai received Pei Shengyuan's letter, he was also very surprised, what is the situation, An An has been in Gaocan for a few months, and he has fallen in love with their princess, which must not be simple. Did Princess Gao Can confuse him? What exactly is their purpose?

Yang Mubai really wanted Pei Shengyuan to be by her side at this time, and she could discuss with him what to do with this family business.

Qiu Yue saw that she was very entangled and said: "Miss, although this family affair is weird, it is a good thing that the little prince can return to China as soon as possible after getting married." Say yes first! ”

Yang Mubai sighed: "An An is only thirteen years old, why do you want to get married?" This must be a conspiracy by Gao Changuo. ”

Qiu Yue said: "The little prince married her, and there is nothing to lose. And isn't it good that you can come back as soon as possible after getting married? ”

Yang Mubai said: "How can pie fall from the sky." ”

Qiu Yue asked, "Miss, then don't you agree to this marriage?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Let the emperor decide!" Ruo'an really marries Princess Gao Can, and when he meets someone he likes in the future, he will marry again. ”

Qiu Yue said: "Miss, you still trust the emperor very much, why didn't you want to go back to the palace last time?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "He doesn't care about An An, I hate him like this." An An was captured, and I don't think he is in a hurry at all, and he doesn't punish General Zuo and the eldest prince. This was originally the responsibility of both of them. ”

Qiu Yue said: "This expedition was asked by the little prince to go together, and you can't just blame them, right?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "An An is still young and wants to make contributions in a hurry, so they took a fancy to this and deliberately lured An An to ask to go on the expedition. He was the youngest, and he actually asked him to intercept the enemy army, and the eldest prince did not rush to help, so that An was captured. ”

Qiu Yue said: "They have explained everything clearly, and the emperor can't condemn them for no reason." Maybe the emperor is secretly punishing them? ”

Yang Mubai said angrily: "How is it possible, I said them, and he has repeatedly defended them, so I was angry and didn't go back to the palace with him." ”

Qiu Yue said: "You are like this, it will make the emperor sad, she thinks you don't trust him." I haven't heard from you during this time. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Just let him be angry, won't I be angry?" If An An hadn't been captured, I wouldn't have known that he was so inattentive to An An. ”

Qiu Yue asked, "Then he hasn't asked you to go back to the palace, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Mubai hadn't thought about this problem, she always thought that Pei Shengyuan wouldn't really be angry with him. No matter how much she him off, after a while, he will always come to her.

This time, Pei Shengyuan seemed to be really angry. But it's about An An, and she can't bow her head.

Yang Mubai said with a stagger: "Then I will never return to the palace, who is rare." ”

Qiuyue: "......" If Pei Shengyuan has backbone, she will toss it this time, and when she sees Shi An'an coming back, what will she do.

Pei Shengyuan received a reply from Yang Mubai, with only a few words: Everything is up to the emperor.

Although Pei Shengyuan was angry, he still had reason. After the ministers of the DPRK and China discussed for a period of time, the two factions could not reach a unified opinion. Pei Shengyuan directly stated: As a father, I respect the wishes of the little prince. He was a young prince who had been captured on an expedition and had been frightened, and I decided to make him the prince of Ding. If he wants to take a wife, then I will do it. However, Princess Gao Can is a foreign woman after all, and the little prince can marry her as a concubine, not as a main room. ”

Pei Shengyuan made a decision, and An An's title to the king and the matter of marrying a wife were decided.

The two countries began to prepare for their marriage.

An An was quite surprised to receive that he was crowned king, and he thought that the marriage was not so smooth. Now that the dust had settled, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

When the eldest prince received the news that An An was crowned king, his nose was about to be crooked. He framed An An, it seems that Pei Shengyuan knows it, but there is no direct evidence, and he is not good at making this matter bigger, so he will crown An An as the king and warn him.

He is the eldest son of the emperor, and his merits are no worse than An An'an, but he has not been crowned king for a long time, and his future is worrying in the future.

It seems that his future has to be re-planned.

Yang Mubai received the news that An An was crowned king, and she knew that Pei Shengyuan wanted to compensate An An. The resentment against him in my heart subsided.

Qiu Yue saw that she was happier, so she smiled and said, "Miss, the emperor is courting you!" Do you want to also reciprocate with courtesy, to show it? ”

Yang Mubai said: "He feels guilty about An An, how can he show favor to me!" I don't have anything he can look up to, how can I say that? ”

Qiu Yue cut and said, "Your return to the palace is the best expression." The little prince is getting married, and you are not in the palace, so it is unreasonable to be afraid. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I won't go back, An An's marriage is just a process, and he is not in the palace." ”

Qiu Yue said solemnly: "Miss, emotional matters, you have to accommodate each other, you can't be blindly strong." After a long time, the emperor will be tired. ”

Yang Mubai said: "No one asks him to accommodate me, I want to wait for An An in Biansai, if he doesn't come back, I won't go back to the palace." ”

Qiu Yue shook her head and said, "You just do it!" There are times when you cry. The women in the palace are eyeing him, and you are still messing around here. One day he really couldn't hold it anymore, and you couldn't find a place to cry. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I don't mind that he has other women. ”

Qiu Yue said helplessly: "Okay, you have a hard mouth, he changed his mind when I saw it, do you cry?" ”

Yang Mubai said that, and she was already planning to return to the palace in a few days, and she was also caught off guard by killing him, seeing if he was honest in the palace.

An An is still a proton, and after Pei Shengyuan agreed to get married, Gao Canguo held a wedding for them early in order to avoid long nights and dreams. An An laughed and cried at their behavior. His first marriage was completed in such a hurry.

Kindness! On the third day of getting Pei Shengyuan's consent to the marriage.

When all the procedures were done, he was tired enough. When he came to the cave room, he was so tired that he just wanted to sleep, but he still completed the process of removing his head and drinking a glass of wine surrounded by many palace people.

When everyone has retreated, An An is about to sleep in bed. Princess Gao Ling said, "Little prince, tonight is the night of candles in our cave room. ”

An An opened her confused eyes and asked, "Princess Gao Ling, is there any process that has not been completed?" ”

Princess Gao Ling said: "No, it's you sleeping in the bed, so where do I sleep?" ”

An An patted the other side of the bed and said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to sleep next to you?" Are you afraid that I will despise you? ”

Gao Ling said: "No, it's just that we will sleep together like this every day in the future, isn't it appropriate?" ”

An An asked, "Then according to the princess's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Gao Ling said: "It's better for me to sleep on the ground." ”

An An said: "You can sleep wherever you want!" I'm sleepy and going to sleep. I haven't slept on the floor since I was a kid, and you don't expect me to sleep on the floor. ”

Gao Ling said: "Then you can't bear to let me sleep on the ground all the time?" ”

An An said: "Why can't we sleep in bed together? Why do you have to sleep separately, I don't have any other thoughts about you. ”

Gao Ling hesitated for a long time before slowly going to bed.

After they got married, the lord of Gao Can was obviously much more relieved, and he was even more pleasing to An An. Relations with the imperial capital also eased, and trade became more frequent. Seeing this trend, the people of the two countries also strongly agreed, and without the war, they would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, but those generals in Gao Canguo are not very happy. It seems that this war will stop for a long time, so won't they be useless?

When there was nothing to do, several generals gathered together and sighed all day long, and for a while, there was no good solution.

On this day, a general said: "Where are the people who were captured in the imperial capital Liancheng now?" ”

The other said: "It's not that they are being detained in the labor workshop, but that those young and beautiful women are in the labor workshop." ”

The leading general just now said, "Why don't you use them to stir up trouble and make waves, so that their covenant will not be broken or broken." ”

Another general asked, "What kind of trick is making waves?" ”

"We will detain all those people in a labor workshop, torture them, stir up their anger, and then release them after a month or two," they said. Then reveal the news to the imperial capital. When these people return to the imperial capital, then this covenant will be in jeopardy. ”

The leading general frowned and said: "This move is not appropriate, if the imperial capital is extremely angry and raises troops to attack, we will have no power to fight back." ”

The man said, "What are you afraid of, we still have their prince in our hands, and they dare not care about his safety." We are doing this only to break their covenant. ”

The leading general said, "You can try, but you can't go too far, you know?" ”

The man agreed, "Yes, I know how to measure." ”

Those who were caught, the men were doing coolies, and the women were basically locked up in the workshop, and they were tired of being toyed with by those with high ranks, so they were thrown to the soldiers to play with and ravage. Many women end up either tragically or dying of illness.

In order to torture them, the general imprisoned all those who were sick and dying of illness in a small cell. They counted more than 500 people, and nearly 80 of them were seriously ill.

These people were to let them go back to the imperial capital in the future, so this small cell was close to the gate of the city of Biansai.

There is no doctor to treat those who are sick, people die every day, and the corpses are not cleaned up in time, and the hygiene is extremely poor. Those who were not sick were beaten and tortured by the soldiers every day, and several people were driven crazy.

After ten days or so, the generals felt that it was enough to arouse their hatred, and they planned to let them out.

They came to the front of the memorization, and found that the guards were listless, and some of them vomited and diarrhea.

They thought they were frightened by what was going on inside, and they cried out, "What's the matter with you? Look at some people scaring you like this? ”

The guard soldier said: "General, we are not frightened, I don't know if the food is not clean, many of us have been vomiting and diarrhea in the past few days, and our spirits are sluggish. It's the same with most of the people inside. ”

When the generals went in to see it, they were also stupid. It was so miserable, some of them died, and there was a smell of corpses, and most of them were languishing, as if they were sick.

The leading general said angrily: "Did I let you torture them like this? ”

Another general said: "We didn't expect this to be the case. ”

The leading general walked out of the cell and said in shock: "You have caused a great disaster, this is the plague. ”

The other generals were also stunned, what should they do now? Why is it a plague?

One of the generals asked, "General, what should I do now?" ”

The lead general said: "How do I know what to do? I told you a thousand times, ten thousand instructions, don't go too far, why don't you listen? Look inside, is that simple torture? That's hell on earth. ”

Another general whispered, "We didn't expect this either. This news can't be known to the imperial capital or the lord of the country, otherwise we will have to go around without food. ”

The leading general said: "Can this be hidden?" Do we have a cure for the plague? ”

Just now, the general said, "It's better to kill them all, and never suffer from them." ”

The leading general said, "We must not make mistakes again and again. If you kill them and don't handle them well, the whole of Gao Can will be infected with the plague, and our family will also suffer. We cannot ignore the whole country for the sake of glory. ”

Another general said: "If we tell the truth to the lord, we will surely die." ”

The leading general said: "Look at the sins we have done, but we have been wronged when we die? Let's all go back and tell the lord of the country about the situation, and wait for the fate. ”

The generals stopped talking and silently followed the leading generals back.

When passing through the cell, one of the generals rushed to the cell, split all the prison doors, and said to the men: "You are infected with the plague, if you don't want to die, go back to your imperial capital, let the emperor of the imperial capital save you, if you dare to stay in Gaocan, we will kill you all." ”

The men fled one by one, and many of the weaker ones crawled out.

The general came over, slapped him, and shouted, "Are you crazy? In this way, Gao Changuo will not be guaranteed. ”

The general said: "General, now that we report to the lord of the country, we are also dead, it is better to fight with the imperial capital and make a fish die in the net." ”

The general was so angry that he drew his sword and said sharply: "You are no longer worthy of being a man, I will give you a ride today." With that, he raised his sword and cut off the general's head.

He wrapped his head in cloth and walked towards the palace with the other two generals.

Seeing the lord of Gao Can, the leading general explained the whole thing to the end.

Gao Canguo was so angry that his hands were trembling. He said in a trembling voice, "What did you do? How is it going to end now, huh? ”

The leading general said: "Your Majesty, all this is our ghost's trick, we want to kill or scrape, and we have no complaints." ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "What's the use of talking about this now? If I kill you, will I be able to appease the anger of the people of the imperial capital? ”

The leading general said, "Giving our heads to the Emperor of the Imperial Capital should be able to calm their anger." ”

The lord of Gao Can said: "Come on, take them all down, put them in the prison, and wait for them to fall." ”

The people of the imperial capital flocked to the border fortress, and the city gates were closed. They pleaded down there, and when they learned that they were infected with the plague, the soldiers did not dare to open the gates.

When General Zuo heard the report and knew that the matter was serious, he went to the city gate to check and ordered that the city gate should not be opened. He had to come up with a countermeasure to get him in place. Otherwise, let them in, and the people of the city will be infected with the pestilence.

Yang Mubai had already packed his bags and was ready to return to the palace in two days. She was in a good mood and bought a lot of gadgets outside to bring back to Pingping.

Suddenly, I heard people talking on the street, and some crying.

Yang Mubai walked over to inquire about the situation. I don't know if I don't know it, but when I look at it, I know that many of the people outside the city who were originally arrested were tortured by Gao Canguo to the point that they were not human, and they were also infected with the plague, waiting for rescue outside the city gate.

And the general left had no experience in curing the plague and did not open the city gates. The people outside were desperately waiting for death. Some of the people there were relatives of the people of the city, and when they saw their miserable situation, they all wept with grief.

Yang Mubai hurriedly went to the city to find Ye's husband, explained the situation, and took Ye Taifu to General Zuo's camp.

General Zuo is very kind to Yang Mubai, why didn't this woman stop, he was so anxious that his eyebrows burned, did she still want to add to the chaos?

General Zuo said to the guards: "No, let her leave quickly." ”

Yang Mubai knew that General Zuo didn't want to see her, but this was related to the safety of the people in the imperial capital, so she couldn't care so much, so she broke inside. The guards intercept her.

She said: "I am the queen of the imperial capital, you dare to stop me? ”

The guard said, "We only listen to the orders of the general on the left. ”

Yang Mubai shouted loudly outside: "General Zuo, I have a cure for the plague, you hurry up and let me in." ”

The general on the left was so annoyed by her that he waved his hand, and the guards stopped stopping him.

Yang Mubai couldn't care so much, and when he saw him, he said directly: "General Zuo, I used to treat the plague in Rongcheng. This Ye Taifu used to be Ye Taiyi, and he was the one who treated the plague. ”

General Zuo Shang had heard that she had been to Rongcheng to treat the plague, and he also knew about Imperial Doctor Ye.

He said: "Queen Mother, there are herbs and husbands in Rongcheng. There is a shortage of herbs here, and Ye Taifu is the only one who can cure the plague, and you let me let a few hundred people from outside in, if the people in the city are also infected with the plague, what will I do? ”

Yang Mubai said: "There are no people in my palace, and the place is quite spacious, and it is not a problem to build some temporary grass huts on the back mountain to accommodate thousands of people." Please send troops over and build different straw huts in several different locations. We are to divide the sick who are infected with the plague into plucks, and those who are seriously ill, those who are mild, and those who are not infected with the plague, are to be placed separately. ”

General Zuo was shocked by her, is this woman so iron-headed? The plague is not afraid, and it is clearly arranged.

Yang Mubai saw that he was stunned, so he said: "General Zuo, saving people is like fighting a fire, the sooner the better." Ye Taifu brought some herbs over, and he could boil a few pots of medicine, so that they could drink it first to relieve it. You also send people to different city-states to buy other medicines. Then he sent someone to expedite 800 li, told the emperor about the matter, and asked him to withdraw money and medicine to cure the plague and his husband. ”

General Zuo asked: "I will do all this, please return to the palace immediately, and leave this matter to me." ”

Yang Mubai shook his head and said, "You have no experience in treating the plague, I want to stay and help." ”

General Zuo said: "If something happens to you, the emperor will not forgive me." ”

Yang Mubai said: "I wish he didn't forgive you, my son was captured at your hands, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Wait, I'll look good with you when I return to the palace. ”

General Zuo: "......" was just moved by her, why did she come back to this one?

Yang Mubai said: "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you go, the people outside are waiting! ”

The general on the left said: "Queen Mother, I didn't know that you were such a temperament before, how offended you were. But I still can't keep you here, the plague is very dangerous, if you have a good one. Not only did I suffer, but it was also a loss to the entire imperial capital. It is the emperor's blessing to have a queen like you, and I can't let this blessing slip through in my way. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I'm going to stay here, what can you do to me?" ”

The general said, "If the queen insists on staying here, I can't open the gate and let them in." ”

Yang Mubai sneered: "General Zuo, you are a general who protects the country, how can you regard rank as so important." Are you also a trending person? ”

General Zuo said lightly: "The queen can also think so. ”

Yang Mubai: "......", the general on the left, really doesn't get in the oil and salt!

At this time, the eldest prince came in a hurry, and he said: "General Zuo, those people outside the city gate, why don't you kill them all!" The plague is no joke, and if you let them into the city, everyone else will catch the plague. ”

Yang Mubai was stunned by his operation, what kind of path is this big prince, is he so cold-blooded?

General Zuo frowned and said: "The eldest prince, that is the people of the imperial capital, how can you kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

The eldest prince saw Yang Mubai at this time, and hurriedly saluted: "The queen mother is fine, I didn't expect you to be here." ”
