Chapter 3 Yao Dian, the Great General of the Protector of the Country

Yao Hei'er is actually not black.

When she was eighteen years old, Yao Heier was a well-known beauty and talented woman among the elites in Hancheng.

Her autumn eyes are as bright as stars, looking forward to shining; Her lotus petal powder face is as shy as the morning glow, and she is beautiful and beautiful; Her slender waist, beautiful shape, and thin willow posture; Her slanky mustache is high, her temples are thick green, and her beads are green.

It is precisely because she had thick black hair when she was just born that her mother, Mrs. Wen, said with a smile: "People say that a cheap name is easy to support." This girl is called Hei'er. ”

Eighteen-year-old Yao Hei'er, with ice muscles and jade bones, captivates the country and the city. Although her father, Yao Dian, was the protector general of Xu Guo, her mother, Mrs. Wen, was born in a family of poetry and books and was proficient in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". Just because he married a martial artist, he was unwilling, so he passed on his talents and skills to his daughter.

Yao Heier is also a smart and clever woman, a woman with a blue heart, poetry and songs, and a subset of scriptures and history, which can be understood at one thought.

Every day in the magnificent, carved Yao Mansion, she lives a life of slaves and maids, brocade clothes and jade food, and enjoys her mother's love and her father's pampering. Reading, embroidering, appreciating the scenery, listening to music, and tasting tea are her most daily life.

At the age of eighteen, the door-to-door courtship broke through the threshold. After all, Yao Hei'er is not only talented and beautiful, but also has the gold-lettered signboard of the General Protector behind him, marrying Yao Hei'er is equivalent to winning the support of the General Protector, is there any bad prospect?

Although Xu Guo is a small country that has just been established for more than 20 years, because it is located in the richest area of the Central Plains, and the saint governs the country well, the country will soon be rich and the people will be strong. Yao Dian, the general who protected the country, spelled out a wealth in the field and won the trust of the founding emperor Long Yuan. Such a young lady, whoever marries into the family, is an honor.

Those who dare to go to the house of the general to ask for relatives are naturally all powerful families who are in important positions and have a lot of family entanglements. However, in the face of the flood of courtship, General Yao let those clever official media wives wear out their mouths, but they didn't even look at it, but just excused himself that his daughter was still young, and he would talk about it in a year or two.

Until the Shenwu general Du Xin sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. Yao Diancai nodded with satisfaction.

Du Xin's father's name is Du Ren, and he is a brave general who fought with Yao Dian in the field and made countless meritorious achievements, but unfortunately died in the chaos of the army due to a moment of carelessness. After the establishment of the state of Xu, the saint rewarded the meritorious heroes, because he remembered the love of the general Du Ren, and immediately named his son Du Xin as the general of Shenwu with Du Ren's merits.

When Dusin was named the general of Shenwu, he was only a teenager. This is the youngest general of the Xu State. When he was twenty years old, Du Xin, a young Shenwu general, married the daughter of the Guide general Wu Fei's family. Who knew that this Wu family had been in the family for several years and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Later, because of his mistakes, General Guide was thrown to the end of his official position and demoted to the border to become a soldier. Du Xin took a leave of absence from the Wu family on the grounds of "childlessness".

When the matchmaker came to propose to the Yao family, he was already twenty-eight years old, a full ten years older than Yao Hei'er.

For this marriage, Mrs. Wen was very dissatisfied. She complained to her husband: "How many wealthy nobles want to marry our family, but you don't agree, but you choose this Du family." Although this Du family is also a little decent, but that person is ten years older than our daughter, and he is still a stepfamily, I really don't know if you are fat-blinded or have eaten paste? How to choose such a family business for your daughter? ”

Yao Dian scolded with a calm face: "I said that you are a woman with short knowledge, what do you know?" The princess also has a steproom for others. What are you afraid of when you're older? When you are older, you know that it hurts! ”

In fact, the real reason why Yao Dian married his daughter to the Du family, he had no way to say. Because, he found that he was on the wrong side.

Long Yuan, the founding emperor of the Xu Kingdom, had two sons, one was King Zhen Long Zha, and the other was King Lu Long Yin. King Zhen is the elder, and King Lu is the younger brother. Neither of them is a saint, who will be the prince in the future? Who will inherit the throne? Yao Dian did not hesitate to choose the older King Zhen.

Once, Yao Dian accompanied King Zhen on a hunt in the royal enclosure. A sturdy sika deer emerged from the forest, with beautiful light brown spots on its body, shining in the sun.

King Zhen hurriedly bent his bow and shot an arrow, only to see the sika deer fall in response. Yao Dian and the others praised His Highness's good archery skills in unison, and hurriedly ran over.

Yao Dian acted the fastest, and was the first to reach the sika deer, he grabbed the sika deer with both hands and raised it above his head. Everyone cheered together, surrounded Yao Dian, and came to King Zhen. King Zhen proudly bowed his hand to everyone and ordered Yao Dian to put the deer on the car behind. At this moment, Yao Dian suddenly discovered that there were two arrows on the sika deer. Just when he was a little puzzled, he suddenly saw King Lu leading people out of another path in the forest on horseback.

King Lu had already seen that it was Yao Dian who took the sika deer away, but he couldn't afford to quarrel with his brother for a deer. Then he walked over with a smile, greeted his brother, and went to the car to look at the dead deer, praised his brother's good archery skills, and then took people away again. Before leaving, Yao Dian clearly saw that King Lu glared at him fiercely with gloomy eyes.

Yao Dian couldn't help but tremble in his heart. King Lu's eyes, like a nail, have been nailed in Yao Dian's heart for several years.

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes. After the deer shooting incident in the paddock, a few years later, the Holy Lord suddenly issued an order to make King Lilu the crown prince. The glance of King Lu in the paddock once again stabbed Yao Dian's heart like a poisonous arrow. Yao Dian waited anxiously for a long time, waiting for the good news that Du Xin had come to ask his daughter for marriage.

This Du Xin, because his age is about the same as King Lu, he became a general when he was a teenager, and after the saint also took pity on him as a beloved general, he ordered him to be King Lu's bodyguard. The two often practice martial arts together, hunt together, and have fun together, and they are most like-minded.

If you have Du Xin as your son-in-law, you don't have to worry that he will not be in the face of the prince, and he will say good things for himself. Yao Dian thinks that he is very clever in this move.

Since he was engaged to the Du family, Yao Dian did his best to prepare the most sumptuous dowry for his daughter, from rosewood cabinets to various jewelry of gold, silver, pearls and jade, as well as countless cloud brocade and Shu brocade, and endless antique treasures. A few years ago, the saint rewarded the Yao family with the property, and Yao Dian also divided half of it as a dowry for his daughter.

Yao Heier married into the Du family for six years and gave birth to three daughters. Dusin's face was longer than a donkey's face. Yao Heier had to meet her every day, for fear of making her husband angry. She took out all her dowry and gave it to her husband to take care of.

Just when Yao Hei'er was in her third month, the Holy Dragon returned to heaven. It is logical that the former King of Lu, and the later crown prince, became the new emperor on the throne.

In the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, King Zhen's house was copied out of the dragon robe, dragon crown, and forbidden weapons and spears. Yao Dian, the general who protected the country, as a former follower of King Zhen, was inevitably implicated. Some people came up with some evidence that they didn't know what kind of evidence it was, saying that it was Yao Dian who instigated King Zhen behind his back, privately made dragon robes, and built weapons, intending to rebel. King Zhen was imprisoned by the new emperor. The Yao family was also arrested and imprisoned.

Two months later, King Zhen and his two sons all died without explanation.

Subsequently, the men of the Yao family, including Yao Hei'er's two teenage nephews, were all beheaded, and the female dependents were sold into slavery.

Yao Heier, who has always been golden and noble, suffered the first major blow in her life. But that's just the beginning.
