Chapter 338: Temptation of Affection

Murong Yan said: "The three commanders don't know! In the past, most women were disadvantaged, and even if the family was well-off, they were not valued in the family. The women's army is now famous all over the world, and these girls want to hone themselves and make themselves more valuable. Especially after Lord Feng became the emperor, it made the women of the world yearn for it, and they all wanted to reverse the situation of not being taken seriously at home, so it could be regarded as gilding to the female army. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Anyone who doesn't want to serve the country, but just wants to improve his prestige, don't do it." The Red Face Women's Army is not a training class, nor is it a training class that can come and go as soon as you want. Later, a stipulation will be added that military service must not be less than two years, and the age limit is between 16 and 22 years old. ”

Murong Yan replied, "Obey!" We will be strict in screening and only keep the girls who meet the requirements! ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Also, all qualified people send people to touch their details to prevent the spies from getting in." The women's army was originally an army created to carry out special orders, and it is not our forte to confront the enemy head-on when counterinsurgent, so we should keep a low profile. ”

Murong Yan hurriedly said: "Obey!" I'll do it. After speaking, seeing that Sima Hongyan had no other instructions, he ran to make his own arrangements.

Seeing that everything was in order for the female army, Sima Hongyan and the others got in the car and returned to the palace. On the way back, Sima Hongyan felt in his heart that it was best to implement the matter of Nan Xunyan today.

Back in the palace, Sima Hongyan summoned Guo Zidi alone. Guo Zidi is now the commander of the forbidden army in the inner city, and he arrived after a short time, and saw Sima Hongyan waiting for him with a wicked smile in the meeting room.

At this time, Sima Hongyan is not what it used to be, although she used to be a friend, but now she is the empress of Yanling, Guo Zidi's first reaction when he saw Sima Hongyan was to kneel down to see the king. As soon as he bent down and remembered that Sima Hongyan had expressly forbidden kneeling, Guo Zidi was embarrassed and had to bow and say, "Lord Feng!" I'm coming. ”

Sima Hongyan almost laughed out loud, and pointed to the chair next to Guo Zidi and said, "Please take a seat!" ”

Guo Zidi has been like a different person since he fought with Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo. changed his reckless and arrogant personality in the past, but he became less talkative, and the whole person was much calmer. And it is said that in private, he practiced harder than before, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and he went to the next level.

This is also the reason why Sima Hongyan did not hesitate to hand over the command of the 20,000 forbidden troops in the inner city of the palace to him without hesitation. is not only a friend, but also a comrade-in-arms, and a friend of life and death, Sima Hongyan feels that the only person who can succeed Yan Hong as the commander of the forbidden army is Guo Zidi.

This move also touched the ministers of the current court. Sima Hongyan not only made the ministers serve as officials in the court as always, but also promoted many ministers who were originally very thoughtful. The key is that Sima Hongyan also supports their next generation, and there is no shortage of aspiring young people among the children and grandchildren of the ministers, and all Sima Hongyan who wants to enter the court as an official will be personally received, as long as there is real talent and real learning, Sima Hongyan will be entrusted with important tasks and let them exert their strengths.

However, Sima Hongyan also explained that this is because the national assessment system has not yet been perfected, once the country has a formal examination, then it cannot be so casually appointed by her, everyone who is an official must go through a strict examination system, and only those who pass the test can enter the court.

Waiting for Guo Zidi to sit down, Sima Hongyan asked straightforwardly: "Guo Gongzi!" I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Nan Xunyan, how do you feel about her? ”

Guo Zidi was startled by these words, he stood up suddenly and almost knelt down again, and said urgently: "I, I and Miss Nan are nothing!" Lord Feng, don't misunderstand, and don't listen to other people's rumors. From now on, I won't talk to Miss Nan anymore. ”

Sima Hongyan knew at a glance that Guo Zidi could no longer treat himself as calmly as he did with his friends before. She walked out from behind the bookcase, sat on the chair opposite Guo Zidi, smiled and asked Guo Zidi to sit down, and asked, "Guo Gongzi, are we friends?" ”

Guo Zidi hesitated for a long time before replying: "Count, count!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "What do you mean, right?" It simply is. You know my temper, I have always been straightforward, and I didn't beat around the bush when I spoke, I was not like the previous emperors who were moody and spoke in a roundabout way. What I ask you is what it means, you don't have to think about it. ”

Guo Zidi nodded in agreement, but he didn't seem to believe it at all.

Sima Hongyan was helpless, secretly thinking that the way of the monarch and the minister had already made these ministers accustomed to trembling, and I was afraid that it would not be possible for them to change it in a day or two. So he explained: "Nan Xunyan is my eldest sister, and also my sister in life and death. I didn't mean anything else when I asked you, I just wanted to know if there was an emotion between you and her. If so, I hope Sister Nan has found a good home, if not, then I also asked Sister Nan not to waste her feelings. ”

Guo Zidi was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, he was usually a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he didn't know why when he saw Sima Hongyan, he was reluctant and at a loss.

Sima Hongyan saw that Guo Zidi didn't speak, so he asked, "Guo Gongzi, can we still talk normally as before?" It's true that I'm the emperor now, but at the same time, I'm also your friend, since we're communicating in private, it's a communication between friends, not talking about business in the court, so you're so nervous. As he spoke, Sima Hongyan raised Erlang's legs with a big grin.

Sima Hongyan's casual small movements made Guo Zidi relax his tense nerves, and he didn't look like Sima Hongyan was joking with him, so he said with confidence: "Since ancient times, the etiquette of monarchs and ministers has been extremely heavy, and I have been taught etiquette since I was a child, which can be said to be engraved in my bones, so I can't adapt to it for a while." ”

Seeing that Guo Zidi seemed to be changing the topic, Sima Hongyan didn't fall for him, and asked directly again: "You haven't answered my question yet, what is your impression of Nan Xunyan?" ”

Guo Zidi heard Sima Hongyan ask again, and said with a little embarrassment: "Miss Nan is heroic and straightforward, with a kind personality, she is a good woman. ”

"Finished?" Sima Hongyan asked curiously, "That's all?" ”

Guo Zidi didn't dare to look directly at Sima Hongyan, bowed his head and said, "That's all!" ”

Sima Hongyan was really anxious to deal with this kind of elm pimple, so he simply asked directly again: "Then do you like her?" I mean, would you like to marry her? ”

"Marry Miss Nan?" Guo Zidi was shocked, looked up at Sima Hongyan, and asked in disbelief: "Lord Feng, you, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I'm so busy that I called you alone, do you think I'm joking with you?" Guo Gongzi, you have always been straightforward, what kind of straightforward person to say, why is it so difficult to speak today? ”

Seeing the impatience on Sima Hongyan's face, Guo Zidi looked embarrassed, but he felt that he couldn't say it directly, so he chirped for a long time before he said, "I don't know if Miss Nan is willing?" ”

Sima Hongyan said angrily: "I'm asking you now, the big man should be better." ”

A cold sweat broke out on Guo Zidi's head, and he said in a very small voice: "I am willing, but I don't know if Miss Nan is she, is she willing?" ”

"Talking to you would kill me!" Sima Hongyan complained: "If you are willing, you are willing, if you are not willing, you are not willing, like a mosquito, I don't know what you are talking about." If you don't want to, forget it, I'll give Sister Nan to marry someone else, you don't like her anyway, don't let her waste time on you again. ”

Hearing that he was going to give Nan Xunyan to marry someone else, Guo Zidi suddenly blushed and said loudly: "Lord Feng! I do, I do, don't give her to anyone else, I'm willing. I swore a long time ago that I would not marry a non-southern girl in this life! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and asked Guo Zidi: "It is said that Nan Xunyan is one year older than you, don't you mind?" ”

Guo Zidi asked strangely: "What's wrong with being a year older than me?" Why should I mind? ”

This question made Sima Hongyan stunned, in her concept, men are willing to find a wife younger than herself, who knows that Guo Zidi has true feelings for Nan Xunyan, and has never taken age seriously.

Sima Hongyan was very moved, and asked again: "Do you know the identity of Nan Xunyan?" ”

Guo Zidi asked blankly: "Identity?" Isn't she the head of the female army? I know! ”

Sima Hongyan didn't expect Guo Zidi to be really pure about Nan Xunyan, and he didn't think about anything else at all, he just simply liked Nan Xunyan. This touched Sima Hongyan the most!

So Sima Hongyan no longer concealed it, and directly told Guo Zidi that Nan Xunyan was the daughter of Yan Mengling, the eldest princess of the Yan Dynasty.

originally thought that Guo Zidi would be surprised, but this time Sima Hongyan was disappointed, and after Guo Zidi listened quietly, he just said "um" and it was over.

This time, Sima Hongyan's curiosity was aroused, and he asked, "Aren't you surprised by Nan Xunyan's life experience?" She is the county lord of the previous dynasty and a relative of the emperor. ”

Guo Zidi said: "What does this have to do with me marrying her?" She is just an ordinary person, what I like is her, not her status. I was just worried that I would be blocked by the Phoenix Lord, but I didn't think about the rest so much. ”

Sima Hongyan said angrily: "Why are you worried that I will stop you?" Am I that kind of person? ”

said more and more, and became more and more casual, Guo Zidi also completely let go, and slowly recovered his straightforward temperament of not talking brainlessly, only listening to him: "Miss Nan is the sister of Lord Feng, if Lord Feng has a better plan for her, he will definitely not allow me to marry her, I will naturally be worried." I didn't expect Lord Feng to be so reasonable, and I'm really grateful today. ”

Sima Hongyan was even more angry and asked, "Am I like someone who hinders other people's feelings and messes up the mandarin duck spectrum?" Emotional freedom, mutual affection, do you think I will intervene and destroy the real lover? ”

Guo Zidi replied very happily: "If Lord Feng hadn't told me this today, I really wouldn't have known!" ”

Sima Hongyan couldn't wait to splash a bowl of water in his hand on his face.

Maybe Guo Zidi also felt that his words were a bit straightforward, and he was busy apologizing, but Sima Hongyan raised his hand to stop him. She shouted at the screen behind her, "Sister Nan, did you hear it?" This guy is dead set on you, but he can't speak, and he me off half to death! ”

When Guo Zidi heard that Nan Xunyan was hiding behind the house, he was so shocked that he suddenly jumped up from the chair, his face flushed, and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and stick his face into it.
