Chapter 43: The One-Year Covenant
Three days later, Wei Pop's enthronement ceremony will be held, and the wedding will also be on the agenda.
At the court meeting, there were not a few people who advocated the immediate completion of marriage, and only some people believed that the current situation was unstable and it was not appropriate to act too high-profile.
Wei Poppy listened to it with a big head, and didn't want to pay attention to these so-called patriarchs who relied on the old and sold the old, but when he looked up, he happened to see Ling Huyuan bowing his head and saying nothing, remembering that day Ruyi said that she had someone she liked, and he couldn't help but feel a little breathy; "General Linghu, what do you think?"
Since that day, Wei Poppy urgently summoned Ruyi into the palace, and Ling Huyuan knew that the affection between him and Wei Poppy since childhood had begun to crack and could not be repaired. "The subordinate military generals are not very clear about the etiquette system, so I am afraid that I have to ask the etiquette officer." Ling Huyuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Wei Poppy stared at Ling Huyuan without saying a word.
coincided with Pang Juan leading Sun Bin into the palace to meet him, Wei Poppy hurriedly stepped down from the high platform to greet him, and bowed his hand as a salute, and the number of gifts was very complete.
Rao is Sun Bin is clear, and when he saw this formation, he hurriedly bowed down, "The minister is the village and the wild horseman, thanks to the courtesy of the king, I am ashamed." ”
"Mr. in the art of war, even Mr. Guigu has praised him again and again, the widow has been looking forward to Mr. coming, Mr. is willing to come, and the widow is already a great relief." Then he turned to Pang Juan and said, "The widow wants to appoint Mr. Sun as the deputy military division and share the military power with you, what do you think?" ”
"Pang Juan doesn't dare to hold it up, there is General Linghu, and the minister knows that he is shallow in learning." Pang Juan said humbly. He thought that Ling Huyuan would definitely have an opinion on dividing his military power, so he threw the ball to Ling Huyuan.
"Does General Linghu have any objections?" Wei Poppy turned to look at Ling Huyuan and asked.
"The minister has no objections." Ling Hu said with a distant look at his nose and a heart. knew that Wei Poppy was deliberately suppressed. A few days ago, he just gave some of the military power to Pang Juan, and now he wants to further divide the power when he says this.
Pang Juan saw that Linghu Yuan didn't answer and hurriedly stopped: "The minister and Brother Sun Bin have been classmates for several years, Brother Sun is the elder of the minister, how can the elder brother be the deputy." It is better to worship as a guest, and when the brother has merits, the minister should give way and be willing to be subordinate. ”
"Qing is right, worship Mr. Sun as a guest, and give a mansion and a thousand taels of gold." Wei Poppy said loudly, turned around and walked back to the throne of the high platform.
*
"What? Just a guest? Ruyi asked.
"Who's to say it isn't, miss. With Senior Brother Sun's talent, how can he be a guest. Xia He pouted and said.
"Keqing is just looking at Youchong from the outside, it is half a guest, not to be added by courtesy. Senior Brother Pang is afraid that he is worried about dividing the military power he just obtained. Ruyi said indignantly. No, I'll go to my cousin and tell you to go. ”
"Miss, don't talk about it, today the king is deliberately suppressing General Linghu. It's just such a fuss. ”
Ruyi had to sit back on the seat when she heard this, and Ling Huyuan was affected by her. If she says it again, I'm afraid it will backfire. I can only wronged Senior Brother Sun first, and then I will talk about it at a later date.
After the early dynasty, Wei Poppy came over in person, wearing a flat crown of ten beads on the front and back, a red wide-sleeved robe, a black dragon pattern hook belt around the waist, black boots on his feet, and a handsome face with a faint momentum of a king.
This was the first time Ruyi saw Wei Poppy wearing the king's court clothes, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while. It is said that if you want to bring a crown, you must bear its weight. I don't know the weight of this, but my cousin can understand it.
"Cousin, you look good in this, is the crown heavy?" Ruyi asked with a smile.
"I was in a hurry and forgot to change my clothes." Wei Poppy said and took off the crown and put it on the desk casually.
"What's so urgent?"
"The man who stabbed you in the street last time was caught."
"Really, where? Can I see it? Ruyi asked eagerly.
"Yes, but this person's martial arts are not weak, and he is pressed in the prison, you can follow me to take a look."
Ruyi and Wei Poppy agreed to meet the assassin alone. She felt that this matter was probably related to those two things, and there were some things that she couldn't let others know.
When Ruyi walked into the prison, he saw a handsome young man, although he was trapped in the cage, but his proud bones were in front of him.
"What's your name?" The clear voice echoed in the empty prison.
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Nie Zheng." Nie Zheng said proudly.
"Why did you assassinate me?"
"Don't you know it yourself? You stole other people's things, and you framed others, are you embarrassed to ask me? The boy snorted coldly.
"Whose stuff did I steal?"
"You stole my father's things, I advise you to give them to me quickly, and maybe you can spare your life, otherwise you won't be able to escape our assassination, and you won't die." The handsome young man said contemptuously.
"I stole your father's things? Never die? Let me guess who your stepfather is? Ruyi said with interest. To say that she hadn't thought of anyone before, at this time she said it so clearly, only Hetumen could do this, and his father-in-law must be the only one who was there.
"Your stepfather is Fan Tianshou." Ruyi is an affirmative sentence.
"I'll just say you know, you were confused with me at first. It's not too late for you to figure it out. The boy said scoffingly.
"I guess it's because this is indeed your Hetumen, your father-in-law's style, open up and entangled." Ruyi looked at the young man and said word by word.
The boy immediately became angry, "You...... What did you say? ”
"Don't worry, I'll tell you about the glorious deeds of your father-in-law." Ruyi leisurely pulled out a chair next to the table, sat down slowly, and adjusted his skirt before speaking leisurely, "Your master is a despicable villain. He's taking advantage of you. ”
"You're spewing blood." The boy yelled angrily.
"It's your master who wants to steal my things, stealing chickens and rice, didn't the others in your Hetumen tell you the truth? Hasn't anything happened inside your Hetu Gate lately? Isn't your master injured?"
The young man was suddenly silent, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, "How do you know?" Did you design it? Is there an internal response? ”
"Do you believe everything your father-in-law says? Do you still have family? "Ruyi is not mistaken, Nie Zheng in history has a mother and sister, and he is an extremely filial and loyal man. Although this history is somewhat confused. I don't know if it can match the original history, but she still wants to try.
"I don't have a family, my stepfather is my family." The boy said coldly.
"You also have a mother and a sister, and your stepfather only sees you as a pawn. You might as well feel it with your heart, we make a one-year covenant, and you can follow me for a year to see if I am as your stepfather said, and you can also observe your stepfather to see if he is as I say he is. ”
The handsome young man hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, it's a word, you let me out." ”
Outside the prison, Wei Poppy said a little angrily: "What let him go?" No, you know how much work it took me to catch him, and what if he assassinates you again? ”
"Cousin, don't worry, I believe he is a man of promises." Ruyi kind words persuaded him.
"You believe him. Why don't you ask me. Although Wei Poppy's face was not good, he had loosened a little.
Ruyi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and was coquettish and said good things, Wei Pop reluctantly agreed, but he had to send more people to watch Nie Zheng.
Ruyi had to agree, and then went to the prison to release Nie Zheng in person.
"Are you really letting me go?" Nie Zheng asked in disbelief.
"A gentleman is hard to chase, and I believe that you are also a person who has a promise." Ruyi said generously.
"Well, I'm not a gentleman, but I'm not a believer either. I promise you that I will not assassinate you for the time being, and I will always follow you. ”
Ruyi laughed secretly, he had a little follower.
Wei Poppy was not at ease, and sent a lot of guards to watch Nie Zheng at all times and protect Ruyi.
After Ling Huyuan knew about this, he didn't care too much, he believed in Ruyi, and believed that Ruyi looked at people's eyes, since she thought it was no problem, it should not be a big problem. What's more, he can't protect her all the time now, and it's not bad to have multiple killers to follow.
