Chapter 172: Severance
ο»Ώ
It is not a trivial matter to drive the expedition in person, and it is not a simple matter to dispatch troops, Yuwen Yong's preparation is more than two months, and at this time, Zhang Qi's sixteenth birthday has long passed, and at the same time, Zheng Yu and other Qi envoys also set off with the envoys of Zhou and successfully returned to Qi. >
In the territory of Qi State, since receiving the envoy of Zhou State asking for help, he has been discussing and discussing again.
Many ministers suggested that it would be better to take advantage of the defeat of the Zhou state and the Turks.
However, the relationship between Qi and the Turks was even worse, and tribes like the Turks, once they were allowed to rob and kill, the small tribes within their borders would rush up. In this way, the Turks will only grow more and more, and there is no way to talk about losing both at all. I am afraid that the result will be that the Zhou State will be defeated, and the Qi State will also face the Turkic iron cavalry.
In the midst of the discussions, King Lanling remained silent.
On this day, after Gao Zhan and the ministers discussed this matter again and again, they saw Gao Changgong standing on one side and muffled in a muffled voice, and couldn't help but crook his body, and by the way, he took a hand in the profane clothes of the beauty on his lap, waved his hand and called to Gao Chang: "Changgong, come here." β
King Lanling stepped forward and bowed his head and saluted, "Your Majesty!" β
Seeing him speak, Gao Zhan pushed the beauty* on his lap to the ground, leaned forward, and looked King Lanling up and down for a while with a joking, curious gaze, and said, "Didn't you kid take it as soon as he had a military order, and fight like a child?" Why is it so quiet now? Tsk, the coldness on this body, I also feel numb when I see it. Anyway, what do you think about this incident? β
King Lanling ignored Gao Zhan's ridicule, he lowered his head and said with a cold face, "Your Majesty has decided." After a pause, he said again: "Your Majesty wants the ministers, just give the order!" β
Gao Zhan likes to hear this the most
He laughed, immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at King Lanling, and said, "Okay, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses today." You go to support the Zhou people. β
As soon as this order came out, the ministers were stunned at first, and then stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, since you are going to send troops. What is the use of 50,000 people? β
"Your Majesty, either you don't help the Zhou people, since you are ready to help, and only send 50,000, isn't this child's play?"
β¦β¦
In the midst of the discussion, no minister came forward to stop the king of Lanling from going on the expedition.
- This battle is really not easy to fight. Won in vain. Lost too. The emperor personally pointed to the king of Lanling, and for some generals, he was relieved.
In the face of the criticism of the ministers, Gao Zhan turned a deaf ear. The ministers saw that the emperor did not listen, and gradually, the admonition became smaller and smaller.
β¦β¦ When the Queen Mother died, he could wear a red robe, enjoy fine wine, and beat whoever persuaded him. What is the point of doing such things in a way that goes its own way?
Seeing that the ministers were quiet, Gao Zhan continued to look at King Lanling.
looked at this expression with an indifferent expression. It seemed that he didn't care about everything, Gao Zhan couldn't help but sympathize with him, and then he bowed again, and said with a smile: "Why didn't Changgong accept the order?" Why don't I add another 10,000 to you? β
King Lanling took a step forward, he bowed, and said coldly: "There is no need to increase the troops." It's just that the 50,000 soldiers and horses, Your Majesty has to allow me to choose by myself. β
"Okay, if you want to pick, go and pick." Gao Zhan yawned, stood up and shouted, "Scatter the dynasty." Such a thing wasted me a lot of sleep! As he spoke, he swaggered towards the harem under the support of all the eunuchs and beauties.
After taking the tiger talisman, King Lanling immediately left the palace.
At this time, Zheng Yu had already returned to the palace. When she returned, he did not go to greet her, and when she returned to the house, he did not see her.
He felt guilty about her, but in Gao Changgong's opinion, things in the world should be decided, since he decided to reconcile with her, then whether he is sorry or ashamed, he can only wait until the future and leave to make plans, and now it is better for the two to simply not get along.
In Zhuangzi, seeing King Lanling coming back from a distance, Fang Lao hurriedly greeted him.
At this time, the king of Lanling sent the corresponding stewards of the two major mansions, and even in this small village, the little servants from the steward to the horse-feeding were rearranged. Elder Fang is now only in charge of King Lanling's personal diet and daily life.
Fang Lao's management is to take care of it, so as to prevent someone from assassinating King Lanling from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
King Lanling ignored Elder Fang, who was following the same pace, he returned to the room, took off his court clothes, and saw him put on his uniform again, Elder Fang asked uneasily: "King Jun, are you going to train again?" β
King Lanling nodded, and while tying his sword, he said, "Your Majesty ordered me to bring 50,000 military horses to assist the Zhou people in fighting the Turks. β
There really is a war.
Old Fang's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but be worried.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, "King Jun, there is news." β
Lanling Wang Qing shouted: "Come in." β
A servant walked in.
Seeing the person coming, Fang Lao was stunned, it seemed that Princess Yecheng had received news.
He hurriedly stepped forward, walked outside the door and shouted, "Spread out." After waving off the servants, he carefully closed the door.
When he turned around, King Lanling had lowered his head and looked seriously at the silk paper handed by the servant.
Looking at it, Elder Fang heard King Lanling laugh, "It turned out that she did it." There was anger and disappointment in his voice.
King Lanling put away the silk paper, waved the servant away, turned to Fang Lao, and said tiredly: "When Ah Qi was here, the rumor that once circulated around, saying that Ah Qi was trapped in the Red Mansion, and several people were good, and she was broken in public, and countless people saw her body...... This rumor that made Ah Qi infamous was spread by Zheng Yu! β
After saying this, ignoring the stunned Fang Lao, King Lanling turned his head to look at the side of the side.
There, there are a few pictures of ladies scattered. On each picture, there is a beautiful woman with beautiful eyebrows and a clever smile, either in a red robe or in a black dress, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, whose blooming youth can't hide the despair between her eyebrows.
Hearing King Lanling's words, Elder Fang stammered, "Really, is it really the princess who did it?" β
King Lanling nodded and said, "This time she is in Zhoudi, and she seems to have been humiliated by Ah Qi. She was angry and hateful in her heart, and when Princess Qiu and the others comforted her, she unconsciously said this. Zheng said that she only hated that she was too light at that time-"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Lao's face was also ugly.
King Lanling was still looking at the picture of the ladies on the wall in a daze. looked at the despair between the beautiful eyebrows in a daze.
How angry and sad was he when he first heard such rumors? came back to see Ah Qi, and Ah Qi also told him that she was **.
That moment. He hated it. When he collapsed in the restaurant and was sullen, Zheng Yu also appeared, and she gently and generously comforted him and asked him not to blame Ah Qi. said that Ah Qiding couldn't help it, and said that if she hadn't wronged herself at that time, maybe she would have been killed.
Thinking of this, King Lanling sneered.
On one side, Old Fang's mouth opened, wanting to say something, but he closed his mouth again.
So it seems. This princess is not an ordinary person, and her scheming is not shallow.
Thinking of this, Elder Fang looked up at King Lanling.
At this time, King Lanling turned his gaze to the stack of ladies.
These paintings were all painted by Zhang Qi himself last time.
She originally wanted to keep it for herself.
King Lanling stretched out his hand and slowly took the stack of ladies. Hanging eyebrows, his slender fingers. Slowly stroked the eyebrows and eyes of the beauty on the lady's picture, slowly. He held up a silk painting and handed it to the charcoal stove.
As soon as the ground was clear, flames came out, and the tongue of fire instantly engulfed the beauty, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into flying ashes.
Seeing this, Fang Lao's eyes widened, he knew how persistent his master had been with these portraits since Zhang Ji left. Almost whenever I have free time, I stay in front of the portrait, sometimes standing for half a day!
Dumbfounded, Elder Fang was shocked: "Changgong, who are you?" In the blink of an eye, he exclaimed in surprise: "The king of the county." Did you let go of Zhang Ji? β
"Let go?" King Lanling smiled lowly, he picked up another picture of a lady, while looking at the flames when it burned, looking at the eyebrows that were swallowed by the flames little by little, and said quietly: "In the first half of my life, I was ruined by a 'woman', and since I am still preparing to live, I can't be ruined by another woman...... From today onwards, I will forget about her! β
King Lanling's voice was calm, calm.
Seeing that his own county king had finally made up his mind, Fang Lao wanted to laugh, but somehow, looking at the eyes of King Lanling, he couldn't laugh.
At this time, King Lanling waved the silk paper in his hand, put it in front of Elder Fang, and said lightly: "Take these over and let the Zheng family take a good look." β
Elder Fang raised his head.
King Lanling's expression was cold, and he said lightly: "In my life, I don't like conspiracy the most, but I am always burdened by conspiracy...... You went and said to Zheng in person, I regret it and I am disappointed. If I can come back alive, I hope to reconcile with her. β
Stretching out his finger and knocking on a few sides, King Lanling continued: "By the way, you also give the content on this silk paper to the Zheng clan and let them discuss it." β
Hearing this, Elder Fang cautiously reminded, "King Jun, this, I'm afraid they won't care about it, right?" β
Facing the cold-faced county king, Fang Lao thought that when the Zheng family had become his own princess, publicizing such a thing would not get more sympathy and support for the county king. If you make trouble in the Zheng family, you will only be ridiculed!
ββThe nobles of the entire Yecheng and Jinyang, everyone is arrogant, what is it to deal with one of their husband's concubines like this? There are a lot of them who go straight to the door to kill!
Of course, when the princess spread this rumor, she did not make a marriage contract with the king of the county, but she really got the words jealousy and cruelty. But this noble daughter of Qi country, not to mention anything else, jealousy and ruthlessness are the most common characteristics.
How many noble ladies have just discussed marriage with that husband, and whether the agreement is reached or not, they rush straight into her husband's house, and whip his favorite concubine to the point of serious injury, or ruin the appearance of the favored concubine?
Compared to them, the Zheng family is really gentle.
Hearing Elder Fang's question, King Lanling lowered his eyebrows, and he said lightly: "...... When I signed a marriage contract with the Zheng family, the first thing was not to hurt Zhang Ji, if at any time, anywhere, I found that any of them had been unfavorable to Zhang Ji, then, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. β
He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, even if the people of the entire Qi country say that the Zheng family is not wrong, then it can't change anything." Justice is never in the words of others. β
With that, the King of Lanling, who had already been dressed, turned around, and Fang Lao picked up the silk paper, and watched him step on the back of his horse in a daze, watching him rush into the rain and mist that spread in the sky in armor.
