Chapter 3 Mentioning the Old Affection for the Country
Xue Dingshan returned to the treasure tent of the Chinese army, and after coming to the Shuai case, he looked at the twisted lion fire seal and the soldier command arrow on the Shuai case, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. This handsome seal, my father has been in charge for more than ten years, and he worked hard for it, and finally died on the White Tiger Mountain. Fan Lihua has been in charge of it for half a year, busy in and out, busy in the morning and late, and staying sick. Now, it's in his own hands. In terms of the experience of governing the three armies, he is inferior to his father. In terms of thoughtfulness, he is not as good as Fan Lihua in terms of planning. They are all dying for this great seal, sick and sick, can they be competent? Thinking of Fan Lihua, Xue Dingshan's heart ached, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Just as Xue Dingshan was sighing alone, the Chinese officer Bai Shouren came in to deliver the official document, and Xue Dingshan had to temporarily press his heart to take care of military affairs.
Since then, he has taken over military affairs in an all-round way, assuming the power of the marshal and continuing to reorganize the military horses. Xue Dingshan was originally handsome, and he was also a second-way marshal, so he was naturally familiar with handling military affairs. is also the identity of Xue Li's son, and the old generals in the camp are not embarrassed because of Xue Li's affection. Therefore, it is less troublesome and smoother than when Fan Lihua was rectified. The plan was all prepared by Fan Lihua, and he only needed to exercise it according to the established plan, so it was not very difficult. It's just that every time I think of Fan Lihua, I hesitate in my heart.
It's a pity that Li Shimin Junchen created an opportunity for them to reconcile their husband and wife. After all, it was still in vain. Xue Dingshan just asked Xun Qing and Lu Li, the close attendants next to him, to send the official documents that needed Fan Lihua's personal approval to Fan Lihua's bedroom, and then take the approved official documents to the study, but he himself never stepped into Fan Lihua's bedroom half a step.
Between the eyes, it is close to Tanabata. The matter of rectifying the three armed forces has finally gained some eyebrows. Xue Dingshan played according to the table, and Li Shimin was very happy after seeing the performance, and immediately ordered the inner eunuch to send down a holy decree, preparing to reward the three armies during the Qixi Festival.
Because of the needs of the war, the first two marriages for Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua at Hanjiang Pass and Suoyang Pass were very hurried and simple. However, there are some misunderstandings from time to time, so that to this day, the two have not had a round house, but are just a nominal couple. In addition, two years ago, Xue Dingshan wrote a letter of resignation. Although Xue Dingshan was forced by the king's order to go to Hanjiang Pass three times, he invited Fan Lihua back. However, the relationship between Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua still seems a little awkward.
On this day, Cheng Biting Jin and Xu Maogong chatted with Li Shimin in the study. Cheng Yanjin said: "Long live, the old minister has a proposal that I don't know if to talk about it?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "Although Lao Aiqing has something to say, why is he worried?" ”
"Hooray." Cheng Yanjin sighed and said, "I don't know if I've heard of it?" Since Ding Shan went to Hanjiang Pass three times to invite back to Lihua, they have been inseparable from each other. Ding Shan is still very cold to Pear Blossom, and he doesn't even say a word when he has no business on weekdays. According to Lao Chen, Pear Blossom's sudden illness this time made Ding Shan angry. Maybe Ding Shan couldn't wipe his face in front of Pear Blossom because he wrote a letter of resignation two years ago. Therefore, the old minister wanted to suggest that Banzai should take advantage of the fact that he could not enter the army at the moment, and Banzai would give them the opportunity to reward the three armies on the Qixi Festival and hold a formal wedding ceremony for them. First: give Ding Shan's kid a step down, and make sure that their husband and wife are reconciled; Second: to add some joy to the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and rush to the bad luck of the year; Sanlai: It is also to Marshal Fan Chongxi, hoping that she will recover soon. I don't know what to expect? ”
Li Shimin listened, nodded again and again, and said: "Qin Ying, Qin Han whispers in my ear every day, how can I not hear that they are not harmonious." Lao Aiqing's proposal is very good. It's just that King Pingliao has been sacrificed for less than three years, and Xue Dingshan is still in Ding worry, how can he get married? ”
British Duke Xu Mao smiled slightly and said, "Long live, everything can be right." King Pingliao has already burned the anniversary, and it is not a gift to Xue Dingshan to get married. What's more, there is still a saying among the people of my dynasty that they get married by borrowing auspiciousness, and what the fourth brother of Fang Cai Cheng said can also be called borrowing auspiciousness to complete the marriage. Besides, Xue Pingliao's biggest regret is that his eldest son Xue Dingshan and eldest daughter-in-law Fan Lihua were not able to get married? This time, they were married, and their husband and wife were reconciled, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of Xue Pingliao's last wishes. This is a good thing to count in one fell swoop, and according to the old minister, there is nothing to be avoided. What's more, due to the urgency of the war, Long Live has already issued an order to seize the favor and make Xue Dingshan a general. Filial piety has been removed, even if the marriage is completed, it is not overdue. Li Shimin listened to Xu Maogong's words, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "The words of the military advisor are like an initiation, which makes me suddenly open. Well, since the military advisor said to make it, then make it. This time, I will personally marry them. Hey, how about Cheng Lao Aiqing act as a matchmaker to mediate? ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "Lao Chen has not done anything else in his life, just to protect the media for others." Okay, their relatives and ministers are in charge of it to the end. If they are not satisfied for a day, the old minister will take care of it for a day. ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's rare to see Lao Aiqing's perseverance." That's hard work for Lao Aiqing. He said to Xu Maogong: "Xu Lao Aiqing, don't be idle, how about being a person in charge of the wedding ceremony?" Xu Maogong hurriedly smiled and said, "The old minister obeys the order." Xue Dingshan is the son of the Pingliao Prince's Mansion and the acting marshal. Fan Lihua is the Marquis of Weining, who ordered the world to be supervised by the three armies, and was given by Long Live Admiration. The wedding ceremony of the two of them is extraordinary, and it must be an official of my court to preside over it. The old minister recommended Zhao Jingting, the prefect of Baihu Pass, as the master of ceremonies to get married, how do you want to live it? Li Shimin nodded again and again, and said: "Very good, then Zhao Jingting was sponsored by the marshal, and it is very suitable for him to praise the marshal's wedding ceremony." Okay, that's it. ”
"Ugh." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then smiled again: "You and I are willing, but I don't know if the people of the Xue family and Marshal Fan agree or not." Don't discuss with you and my monarchs and ministers in full swing, and the parties concerned are unwilling to turn around, aren't they happy in vain? Cheng Lao Aiqing might as well go to the Shuaifu and ask their opinions. ”
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly got up and said, "The old minister has the order." Thinking that Princess Liu is a cheerful person, I don't think she will disagree. It should be sooner rather than later, the old minister will go to the Shuaifu for a trip. After speaking, before Li Shimin and Xu Maogong could speak, he bowed down and exited the study.
Cheng Yanjin left the study and came outside the gate of the palace all the time, ordering the attendants to bring the war horse. got on the horse and took the attendants to the Shuaifu.
Cheng Yanjin came to the gate of the Shuaifu and got off the horse, and an attendant took the reins and tied the horse to the horse post. An attendant came to the bottom of the steps in front of the Shuaifu, and arched his hand upwards and said, "Who is on duty at the door?" My family is a thousand years old and came to visit. Please come in and say hello. ”
When the family on duty on the steps in front of the Shuai Mansion saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly came over to give a salute together, "It turns out that Cheng Lao Chitose is here." Please wait a while, and the villain will go and report to my family that he knows. As he spoke, a family member hurriedly went in to deliver the letter.
