Chapter Twenty-Six: How So?
"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." Above the huge court, the shrill voice of the little eunuch sounded.
After a while, from under the court, a minister in a red shirt walked out, holding a yellow concert in both hands, and was kneeling peacefully under the court.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, the Qinglong Kingdom has become more and more arrogant, according to the minister's investigation, a few days ago, on the day of the wedding banquet of the Moqian Prince, the lost military map of our country should indeed be stolen by the Qinglong Valley, and the messenger we sent also came back to report, saying that in the past few years of leaving the country, it has been forcibly occupied by the Qinglong Kingdom, and the border people are not living well, the economy is slow, and even daily necessities cannot be satisfied. The heart of the Green Dragon Kingdom is not difficult to guess! Emperor. ”
Above the silent court, the words of the minister echoed for a long time, and the emperor at this time, waved the dragon robe on his body, clasped his hand on his thigh, and looked straight at the minister kneeling under the court, there was an indescribable sharpness in his eyes, so cold that people wanted to shiver.
"Then as Aiqing said, what should I do?" The emperor sitting on the dragon chair, just like his expression just now, opened his mouth coldly, and the darkness of his eyes was unimaginable, and all the ministers didn't understand, what did the emperor mean by this?
"By... In the opinion of the minister, at this time, we should call on several other countries to jointly oppose the Blue Dragon Kingdom, and it is the best result for us to gather the strength of everyone. ”
The minister looked at the emperor sitting on the golden dragon chair with some fear, lowered his head fiercely, and did not dare to look directly into his eyes, for some reason his hands began to tremble, that is, he did nothing wrong, so why should he be so afraid!
"Gather the strength of everyone, I'm afraid other countries think the same way! If we rashly send troops at this time, the other countries will naturally form an alliance, and then they will definitely take advantage of our internal emptiness to attack the capital. ”
"But, Your Majesty, we can't endure it again and again! How can we say that we are also the lord of Kyushu, how can we be bullied by a small country that is a latecomer? ”
The minister shouted indignantly, and was very angry at the emperor's stubbornness, only that the emperor was too weak and suspicious by nature. There is no domineering and galloping battlefield heroism and courage of the first emperor.
Today's emperor, in order to consolidate his power, he does not hesitate to kill the queen's family, and even the entire family of Dazhuguo, and cut off his left and right arms, just in exchange for the consolidation and stability of his power.
As a direct result, the whereabouts of the tiger talisman are unknown, and the army cannot be mobilized, which affects the peace of a country, and the society of the country and the country.
"What? Do you disagree? In this way, I have to learn from you how to govern the country! The emperor's voice sitting on the dragon chair seemed to be stern again, revealing threats in every word, his eyes seemed to be darker than just now, and a trace of an evil smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
The emperor turned his head to look at the eunuch beside him, signaled a look, waved his finger, and suddenly two guards came out from above the court, five big and three thick, and at a glance he knew that he had undergone professional training, only to see that the two attendants came to the minister's side without saying a word, and pulled the minister to push out of the door, and the people next to him were all dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean that, the emperor spared his life! Weichen didn't dare anymore, Your Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, you spare Weichen this time! Weichen will definitely not offend the emperor again in the future? …………”
There was a hoarse shout from the court, but all the people present did not move, they just bowed their heads and did not say anything, no matter what the people who asked for help were, they all looked like they were bowing their heads.
"If it is in the future, who dares to do this, but for me, this is the end. Retreat. ”
The emperor on the stage seems to be a warning to make an example! He got up and waved his golden sleeves and walked away angrily. There was a wave of panic and uproar in the present.
……………
Today's wedding seems to be going on extremely fast, the red sedan chair has arrived in front of Taiwei Xiao's mansion at this time, and Ouyang Lian can clearly hear the noise outside and the sound of his heart beating faster.
"Miss, get off the sedan chair!"
A green-shirted maid next to her stretched out her arm, said to Ouyang Lian with joy on her face, looked up at Ouyang Lian who was draped in a phoenix crown, and felt that it was unbelievably beautiful.
Ouyang Lian pondered for a while, then stretched out his slender fingers with some hesitation, gently put them on the arm of the green-shirted maid, and then used his other slender hand to gently lift his clothes, bowed slightly and carefully got out of the sedan chair.
"Uncle, why don't you take advantage of my young lady, do you want to be like this on your wedding day?"
A few girls next to you, you smiled lightly with low eyebrows and a word, and made your face with your hands, and you smiled more and more wanton on the big day.
From the red veil, Ouyang Lian saw a person looming in front of her, his movements were very light, as if he had come to approach a flock of migratory birds, as if Ouyang Lian would fly away at the slightest sound.
Ouyang Lian vaguely saw Xiao Ran's dress, a bright red straight-placket robe, the drape of the clothes was excellent, the waist was tied with a wide belt of moon white auspicious cloud patterns, and only a piece of excellent jade jade was hung on it, the shape seemed rough but simple and gloomy.
A big red dress gave him a bit of elegance, wearing a big red hat, a big red brocade edging on the brim, embroidered with a hundred kinds of inverted blessing patterns and a piece of excellent quality jade in front of the forehead, only with a hollow carved gold crown to tie his hair, and the cuffs of a red dress were also decorated with red satin edges, and he was full of spirit.
Xiao Ran was extremely elongated, wearing a big red Yunxiang talisman bat pattern suit, with a rhino horn red belt tied around his waist, and only a white jade pendant, and the night pearl on the big red hat was mixed with the color of the sun, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
The neckline and cuffs of the indigo robe were inlaid with silver silk and moire piping, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade was tied around his waist, and the white jade on the silver crown was crystal moist and set off the black and smooth hair of his hair, like silk.
Ouyang Lian couldn't help but start from his heart, some accepted the person in front of him, wearing a red robe, Xin's long body was too long if it was increased by one point, and it was too short if it was subtracted; The powder is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like snow, the waist is like bundles, and the teeth are like shellfish.
It is confusing, the phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, and there seems to be a drop of wine dew left on the red lips, just like a drop of jade dew oozing out of the delicate red lips, and the air is filled with a strong sweet wine smell and the faint fragrance of flowers, which is as intoxicating as a warm wind.
The lazy phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, unconsciously stretched out the clove tongue and gently wrapped it, licked the drop of wine dew elegantly, and even sucked a few puffs of soft red lips, and a red robe fluttered in the wind, and the inky hair was gently swept on her cheeks with a faint fragrance that made people lose their minds.
Ouyang Lian looked at the man in front of him, and he was a little distracted, was he too handsome, or was it the next thing that made him feel guilty!
Actually, what's wrong with him? has a noble background, a sincere determination to treat her, excellent appearance, and a perfect posture.
He could get everything he wanted, but he couldn't get Ouyang Lian's heart, but what could he do? He had to concentrate on his profession! In a no-man's corner, silently waiting for her.
Xiao Ran handed the ribbon of the big red flower to Ouyang Lian's slender hand, and looked up at the faint appearance in the red veil, he could clearly see that Ouyang Lian was not happy, not even a trace of joy. If she could, Xiao Ran still hoped that Ouyang Lian in front of him now would still be the person who chased him innocently at the beginning, so at least she wouldn't be sad and wouldn't have so many worries now.
Xiao Ran slowly pulled the big red flower, walked carefully step by step, and looked behind him from time to time, he was afraid that Ouyang Lian would leave suddenly, and then followed the man who was in the hospital that day, he was afraid that his Lian'er would say to him personally, and personally told him that it was impossible between us. He was afraid of many, many things, but what he never feared was that he would love her for the rest of his life.
The distance from the door to the living room was very short, but Xiao Ran walked like a century, and every step was heavy, like a lot of sandbags tied to his feet, which was extremely difficult.
Finally, under the hustle and bustle of everyone, Ouyang Lian and Xiao Ran arrived at the middle hall, Ouyang Lian was finally not behind Xiao Ran, but stood in a row with him, on which sat Xiao Ran's parents, and their happy faces could be seen from the veil, even if the wrinkles were all crowded together, they could still see a very beautiful past.
The central hall is covered with red decorations, beautiful big red flowers are everywhere, and the table made by the two high halls is full of peanuts and almonds, which must also have a good meaning.
Ouyang Lian looked at everything in front of her, like a dream, she didn't expect her revenge to be at the expense of herself, Ouyang pitied her uselessness, she held the jade pendant on her waist tightly, and she only felt that her heart was broken.
"Worship heaven and earth......" With the matchmaker's shrill voice, this already somewhat absurd wedding was officially launched, only to see those people next to him, all smiling together, their faces were full of festive faces, maybe in their eyes, Ouyang Lian and Xiao Ran can also be regarded as talented women, born a natural pair! But that's in their eyes.
Ouyang Lian was supported by Xiao Ran, turned around slowly, gently lifted the bottom of her skirt, and knelt down nobly and generously, she didn't look at what the people next to her were like, she really didn't have that mood now.
"I'd better think again! After all, tomorrow is a new day, and by then maybe I'll find a way to calm myself down and make him change his mind. ”
Ouyang Lian thought softly in her heart.
