Chapter 40: The True Purpose
Emperor Pu Xuan had something important to say to Ban Yue, so he led him to the top of the rockery behind the imperial dining room.
There's a little gazebo there.
With a smile, he carried the birdcage to the bottom of the rockery and listened attentively.
"Banyue, do you know why I brought you back to the palace in the first place?" Emperor Pu Xuanhuang asked.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and has a benevolent heart for all living beings in the world." Banyue replied.
"No, everyone has selfish intentions, and so do saints." Emperor Pu Xuan's eyes looked out of the pavilion.
Under the blue sky, the white clouds are long, and the white clouds have turned into a period of the past, like a dream.
Ban Yue was worried, is the emperor reminding himself to repay his kindness? Or are you insinuating that you are bullying the king out of selfishness?
I and Xiaoxiao have indeed been acting.
This has become a ridge in my heart.
Maybe the emperor knew this at a glance, but he just didn't break it, so he said ashamedly: "The minister is guilty." ”
Seeing that Pan Yue's face was heavy, Emperor Pu Xuan comforted: "Since saints also have selfish intentions, it is not an exaggeration for you to be a little selfish, so don't stick to the rules and regulations." As long as I am loyal, all weaknesses can be tolerated. ”
Banyue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
"At that time, when you were still in the lobby of the Criminal Department, I said to Gonggong Li, no one is perfect, don't ruin a promising general because of a small mistake."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Today, it all depends on the protection of His Majesty. The ministers must obey the dispatch of His Majesty, be cattle and horses, and never give up. ”
Ban Yue knew in his heart that if it wasn't for Gonggong Li to sit on the spot at that time, how could Prime Minister Liu Cheng let himself go?
So in the end, it was the emperor who helped him get through this difficulty.
Emperor Pu Xuanhuang saw that the early ideological work had taken effect, and began to get straight to the topic: "I don't need you to be a cow or a horse, how about I want you to be a horse?" ”
Ban Yue was puzzled and looked at Emperor Pu Xuan suspiciously.
"Do you know the Snow Yin Princess of the Northern Snow Country?" Pu Xuanhuang asked with a smile.
"I've heard of it."
"How about I make the decision for you, be a matchmaker for you, and propose to Princess Xueyin?"
Banyue was shocked and blurted out: "What about smiling?" ”
Hearing this, she laughed out loud, fool, you really take me seriously, isn't it good to let you marry a princess?
Emperor Pu Xuanhuang restrained his smile: "How can a smile be compared to Princess Xueyin?" The two of you are not married, so it doesn't count. ”
The first thing Banyue thought about was not about getting married, but about the future situation with a smile.
According to custom, if a woman has been engaged to someone but is divorced, it is a great shame, no different from being divorced, and she is often looked down upon for the rest of her life.
This is secondary, let her be outcast, homeless, how could the prince let her go? Who's going to keep her safe?
He remembered that in the lobby of the Criminal Department, the board hit her, and she said fearlessly: "Even if you kill the little girl, the little girl is still the same sentence - the little girl is Jin Ning's own sister, called Jin Hanxiao!" ”
Such a woman who sees death as home, says that one is one, and saved herself, how can she say that she will retire and retreat?
"Although the minister has not yet married Hanxiao, in his heart, he has already regarded her as his wife, so he can't propose to the princess." He explained to Emperor Pu Xuan.
Laughing and stopping his breath, Yue wasn't joking, right?
"Do you know the difference between commoners and nobles?" Emperor Pu Xuan asked solemnly.
"Of course I do."
"Tell me for yourself."
"Because the ministers are commoners, and the sons and daughters of the ministers are also commoners, neither the official office, nor the mansion, nor the land related to the wealth can be passed on to them, and when the minister dies, the children are destitute, and everything must be left on their own."
"But if you marry the Lord of Xueyin, you are a royal nobleman, you know the next benefits, right?"
"Yes. Everything can be hereditary. ”
"And what do you decide now?"
"The minister has a marriage contract with Hanxiao, and he is willing to marry Hanxiao as his wife." Ban Yue said firmly.
Emperor Pu Xuan didn't expect that the treatment of the nobles could not impress him, and asked in disappointment: "So you really like to smile?" ”
"Yes."
"Would you rather give up such a good future for her?" Unwilling tone.
"The minister can't afford to lose her." Ban Yue replied crunchedly.
Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it, Banyue really liked herself so much?
Thinking of his usual arrogant and disdainful look, what is going on?
However, he can stop acting at all, how good is it to climb up the pole?
"Maybe you don't know Princess Snowyin. I know that Lord Lotus likes you, but you have refused many times. Princess Xueyin is not the same as Lord Lotus County. Xue Yin is known as the treasure of the White Snow Country, because it is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also Bing Xue is smart, gentle and virtuous, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not as good as the lotus flower. ”
There was only a smile in the minister's heart. Banyue expressed it unequivocally.
At this time, he realized that he really thought so in his heart, and the scene of smiling in his arms flashed in his mind, and he actually felt that the roots of his ears were hot.
Floating with a smile - he really only has me in his heart?
Thinking of his usual affairs, she suddenly understood that he didn't hate himself, but cared about himself-
Why is it so hot? She used one hand to cool her hot face.
Emperor Pu Xuan saw that Banyue's face was red, and he was greatly moved, Panyue was a person with a personality.
At the beginning, no one dared to take command of Yu Kou, he volunteered, and he was a real hero.
Such a young man should be given a way to be healthy.
The smiling girl is good, but if he marries Princess Xueyin, it will be more than 10,000 times better.
And only a smart and determined person like him can firmly control Princess Xueyin and prevent her from causing trouble.
Therefore, for the sake of Puguo, it is up to him to marry the princess.
"What if this is what I ask you to marry a princess?" Emperor Pu Xuan's eyes looked at Banyue without blinking.
Pan Yue showed a look of embarrassment, but immediately became firm, knelt down and said: "The minister said that he is willing to be a cow and a horse for His Majesty, so His Majesty must do what the minister does, and the minister will never give up." It's just that the minister has a plea, and if it can't be resolved, the minister will feel uneasy. ”
"Tell me about it."
"Smiling and lonely, if you live on the streets, I'm afraid of being bullied." He didn't dare to say that the crown prince would bully her, "So the minister implores Your Majesty to properly settle Hanxiao and not let her be bullied by anyone again." ”
Pu Xuanhuang smiled: "I heard the story of Hanxiao, she is indeed pitiful, she is displaced, and she is finally reunited with you, but she will be divorced by you, and she will be sad in the future." In this way, I will give her a marriage, and choose a royal prince and nobleman for her to marry, so as to ensure her wealth and safety......"
I can't listen to it anymore, how can this be?
These two men, without consulting themselves, just dealt with themselves?
That's not going to work!
She immediately rushed up the rockery.
Emperor Pu Xuan was helping Banyue up, but he saw a smile.
"You've come just in time." Emperor Pu Xuan beckoned to her, "I have something to ask you." ”
With a smile, her heart was beating, she didn't want Emperor Pu Xuanhuang to express his bullshit kindly, so she rushed to the front and said, "I just talked to this handsome guy for a long time, and finally figured out a problem." ”
Banyue frowned, he was still a handsome guy, he couldn't even figure out the name of the bird, what could he understand?
"What do you understand?" Emperor Pu Xuan asked with interest.
"I said to the handsome guy, I'm just like you, a bird kept in a cage by General Banyue. If one day the general is going to the front line to fight, and he can't support me anymore, and he is ready to give me away, then I must beg the general, beg him not to give me to others, release me out of the cage, and let me fly freely, okay? ”
What's on your mind? Banyue looked at it with a smile, the palm prints on her face disappeared a lot, her face was flushed like two red apples, her eyes were big and black, shiny, and full of innocence.
Do you think you can be really free if you want to be free? It's dangerous out there!
