Chapter 113: The Ring
After this incident, although the prince's right to act as an agent of the government has not been restored, the emperor's attitude towards him has improved a lot.
And Jin Yu, when the emperor was enshrined in Zen, he was only a Dali Temple from the sixth grade, and the emperor was not qualified to accompany him, but the emperor did not forget him after returning to Beijing. Moreover, the prince is in urgent need of military merits, so he has no doubts about Jinyu, and directly asks for merit in person.
The emperor thought about the last court banquet and felt that Jinyu was a talent, and he wanted to reuse it, but the queen's piano was destroyed and had to be punished, so he had to degrade the official product to Dali Temple.
This time Jin Yu made a great contribution, and the emperor was going to reward him and transfer him back to Taichang Temple, but Jin Yu wanted to stay in Dali Temple, and the prince also felt that it was better for Jin Yu to stay in Dali Temple, and while also fanning the wind, the emperor agreed.
Jinyu was directly promoted to Dali Temple, and the official was from the five grades. This time Zhuo Yinfeng was very happy, and this unsuccessful son-in-law finally gave himself a face.
But the person who can't understand the most is Qianqian, he knows Jinyu's final plan, but he doesn't understand why Jinyu took this step to make his father happy. It's already the end of February, and the buds and green leaves on the branches have already revealed a little new stamen, but Qianqian seems to have entered the cold spring and feels that her heart is still in the middle of winter, and there is still heavy snow.
At first, he agreed with King Yi to get rid of Zhuo Yinfeng in April, but now Jinyu feels that there is a favorable condition in his hands that he can suppress the officials as well. In addition, the emperor's enshrinement was too sudden, and this time was extended for another two months.
When King Yi heard Jin Yu say this, he just smiled heartily: "I've been waiting for ten years, what's the more than two months to wait for with an additional ministry!" ”
And now there is a tricky thing to deal with in front of King Yi, that is, Wei Gang's appointment to fight, at first I thought Wei Gang was just talking, until Wei Gang's post was sent to the mansion King Yi didn't believe it was true.
But Wei Gang didn't care about it, people were neatly dressed and brought their servants to visit him, and the number of etiquette was the same, and he kept claiming that it was a discussion. King Yi's polite words were a basket of words, Wei Gang was confused and responded randomly, and then added: "Everyone is a person who practices martial arts, so why not learn from each other!" ”
This time, the king of Yi had no choice but to fight.
I don't know how the news got out, and everyone was talking about it in the alley, and even the palace was talking about it.
Because the last time I went to arrest the bandit leader Yi Wang was injured, but it was kept secret, Princess Yi was worried that King Yi would not be able to resist Wei Gang, so she went to ask Queen Yi's mother, and Queen Yi went to the emperor again, hoping that the emperor could stop this competition.
Emperor Yingwujin had just returned, and he also wanted to see what the military generals in the court looked like to the bandit leaders in the rivers and lakes, and he was willing to withdraw and said: "Then Wei Gang was captured by King Yi." Even if you fight once, will you still lose? ”
One sentence almost didn't choke Queen Mother Yi to death. Princess Yi is also dumb, and she can't say that she has bitterness when she eats Coptis chinensis. Although his wife and mother were worried, King Yi himself seemed to be fine. In the final analysis, Wei Gang is the only one who can be trusted by Jin Yu in the court, but Jin Yu is now joining forces with him, Wei Gang will not really be ruthless, even if Wei Gang is here to really fight, if he fights by himself, it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose.
The agreed ten-day period will pass in a blink of an eye, and it is already the day of the decisive battle between King Yi and Wei Gang.
Although March has already entered spring, this year's winter seems to be particularly reluctant, and the cold of spring has been refusing to pass, and people are still wrapped in heavy winter clothes.
But a sturdy man in the newly erected ring downstairs in Cuiwei was only wearing a horse coat, and his tendons and flesh were visible under the thin clothes.
Although the morning market has not yet opened, the surrounding area has been surrounded by water, noisy and noisy. There were even people who opened the game and started pressing.
At this time, King Yi had not yet arrived, Wei Gang stood on the stage like a stone statue, listening to the discussion of the people in the audience.
"This is the bandit leader! How does it look like the door god on the New Year's painting! It's very angry! ”
"You have to eat ten bowls of rice for this body!"
"Hey, hey, this body, His Royal Highness King Yi won't suffer!" Wei Gang was very happy, and raised the corners of his lips to look down at the crowd in the audience.
"What's the use of being big, it's not that he was caught by King Yi, His Royal Highness King Yi can still win today!" Wei Gang was not happy to hear it, frowned and roared, and an old farmer who was talking in fright trembled out of the crowd.
"Although His Royal Highness King Yi can't compare to him physically, his martial arts are good! One is hard and the other is coincidental, and today's battle is not accurate! ”
"Hey! Why hasn't His Highness come yet? ”
This sentence was like a thorn, and Wei Gang's eyebrows were all about to attack with a violent temperament, but remembering Jinyu's previous advice, he forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart and continued to stand on the stage.
If King Yi doesn't come today, he will be waiting here.
There was a sigh in the crowd in his heart, Wei Gang raised his eyes and saw that a young man wearing a purple sword-sleeved robe and a tight waist was walking towards this side, holding a green steel sword in his hand.
This person's starry eyebrows, sword eyes, and aura are extraordinary, with black hair like ink, and luxurious clothes, needless to say, of course, he is the king of Yi. It's just that today I came to the competition, and I didn't wear a hairdresser inlaid with jewels, but I just wore a plain white jade crown, but the nobility of my body has not diminished at all.
Wei Gang squinted his eyes and looked King Yi up and down, because he remembered Jinyu's words and didn't speak in a temper, he was holding back in his stomach with a stomach of venting words, not daring to speak, just staring and waiting for King Yi to speak.
King Yi just curled the corners of his lips and said nothing, looking up at Cuiwei upstairs.
The two wings on the street on the upper floor of Cuiwei are open to the ring with windows across the walls.
In the first room, there were two noble ladies who were also richly dressed and had a graceful temperament, their eyes were full of worry, naturally Princess Yi and the fifth princess Yu Wenyi. There is also a man who is full of jeweled brocade robes, which is unspeakably expensive, but his eyes are curious and lively, it is Yuwenyun who came with Yuwenyi.
There was also a young woman next to her, with a child about two years old and a child of about ten houses. The younger child was wrapped in a satin jacket, and the young woman and the ten-year-old child were dressed modestly.
Today, Princess Yi came out and brought Nansheng with her, and because she was a companion, she brought Shen Yunjiao with her, and naturally her sister Shen Yunjing also followed. Wei Gang naturally didn't know these people, but just frowned and glanced at them.
And the person in the side room next to him was known to Wei Gang, it was Jinyu with Qianqian and the maid Ruxiang.
Qianqian's health has not been very good recently, her worries are even heavier than before, and she has become more emaciated in the past two months, and even her face is pale all day long, but all kinds of decoctions are not curing her heart.
