Hearing that Geerdan, the Rakshasa and the Mobei Mongols were about to move, Kangxi couldn't help but be surprised: "How can this be? ”

Ba Yi talked eloquently, elaborating on the current situation, looking at the calm waves, but in fact, the dark tide was turbulent.

Kangxi knew his ability, and although the relationship between the two was delicate, he still asked how to resist the enemy.

Ba Yi spoke his mind.

Kangxi nodded frequently.

In the end, when Ba Yi retired, he said: "The minister has a matter to ask the emperor for permission." ”

Kangxi knew what he wanted to say, but he could only ask: "What's the matter?" ”

Ba Yi said: "The minister is lowly and unworthy of marrying Princess Yunyi." ”

Kangxi threw the fold in his hand on the desk: "If you want to refuse to marry, you are resisting the decree." ”

Just as Ba Yi was about to say something, the deacon and eunuch at the door hurriedly came in to report: "Zhou Kongmeng, please see the emperor." ”

Kangxi called in.

After Zhou Kongmeng came in, he first greeted him, Kangxi asked him what was the matter, he looked at Ba Yi and said, "Old lady Guerjia has a sudden emergency......

Ba Yi was shocked, and without waiting for Zhou Kongmeng to say a detailed explanation, he retreated, and he only remembered when he left the Qianqing Palace that his mother was still on the way to the capital, how could Zhou Kongmeng know that his mother was suffering from a sudden illness?

Zhou Kongmeng chased after him, and as soon as he asked, Zhou Kongmeng said, "It's not that the old lady is seriously ill." ”

Then he pulled the stunned Ba Yi out of the palace, and found a small restaurant in a secluded place on the street, the two of them drank opposite each other, Zhou Kongmeng told the truth, he knew that Ba Yi took his mother to live in the capital, but at that time I didn't know whether the old lady was in Beijing or on the way, of course, I didn't know if the old lady was sick and deceived Ba Yi, just to save him.

After a glass of wine, Zhou Kongmeng said earnestly: "The emperor has long been wary of you, and because of the jade girl, the emperor is to you, just like Yang Xiu said in the Han Dynasty, chicken ribs, eat meat without meat and abandon the taste, the emperor values your all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and entrusts you with the land outside the border, but I am afraid that you will support the army and become the next rebellion of the three feudatories, so the emperor must not kill you, at this time, your every move must be a hair and move the whole body, so you can't refuse to marry." ”

The small restaurant, the wooden tables and benches, the stoneware bowls, the burning knives and wine at the entrance, and the laborers of those coarse cloth clothes, are on the side of the meal, noisy and lively, Ba Yi looked solemn, sat upright, and was wearing the official uniform that he had to change in the future, which was incompatible with the surrounding scene, after listening to Zhou Kongmeng's words, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Kongmeng: "Brother should know my thoughts about Yugo." ”

Zhou Kongmeng said repeatedly: "I know, I know, where can I not know, it is precisely because I know what is going on between you that I advise you not to refuse marriage." ”

Ba Yi took a sip of wine, then pinched the wine bowl and didn't look at Zhou Kongmeng, the way he drank, the way he held the wine bowl, the way he spoke, even the gaze, was incompatible with the drinkers next to him again, and asked lazily: "Why?" ”

Zhou Kongmeng is a native of the south, he is not used to eating this kind of strong wine outside the plug, he drank spicy tears and rinsed his mouth with tea to relieve it, and said: "If you refuse to marry, the emperor will know what kind of heart you have, and you will no longer be patient with the jade girl. ”

yes, what can I do? Do you really want to slash the emperor?

Zhou Kongmeng said again: "If you don't refuse to get married, you can find all kinds of excuses to delay the marriage, so you can give yourself time, and when you come up with a good way, it's not too late to regret the marriage." ”

Ba Yi looked disagreeing with his contempt: "In that case, wouldn't you be sorry for Miss Shangguan, oh no, you should be called a princess." ”

Zhou Kongmeng smiled bitterly: "In this world, it's not that you're sorry or I'm sorry for you, how can there be absolute fairness." ”

Ba Yi shook his head: "No, I can't do that." ”

Zhou Kongmeng persuaded bitterly: "That princess Yunyi, an old girl in her twenties, if you don't regret marriage, she can't get married, don't listen to the rumors outside, what is she waiting for you, nonsense, Shangguan Jian and Shangguan Dun brothers are both scheming, obviously her daughter has had a strange disease since she was a child, and she gets sick every month on the night of the full moon, shouting and screaming, running around, and can't get married. ”

Ba Yi really didn't know the details of this matter, listening to Zhou Kongmeng tell the reason, he felt a lot more relaxed, he had heard about Shangguan Yunyi's refusal to marry him before, and he really felt deeply sorry, and smiled at this time: "Okay, you Zhou Kongmeng, there is nothing in the world that you don't know." ”

Zhou Kongmeng was quite proud: "This is natural, right, you must be familiar with the holy will, and you must also understand those who are officials in the court at the same time, otherwise how can you know yourself and know that you will win a hundred battles, at least to protect yourself." ”

Ba Yi took a sip of wine: "Even if Princess Yunyi really delayed her marriage because of illness, it was her own business, and if I wanted to use her, I couldn't do it." ”

Zhou Kongmeng tried all kinds of persuasion to fail, and finally had to give up.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them said goodbye and went home, Zhou Kongmeng went into the palace to see the empress dowager, and Ba Yi, the old lady had not arrived at that time, Ba Yi temporarily lived in the inn, not long after returning to the inn, when someone knocked on the door, casually shouted: "Come in." ”

When the door opened, it was the guy in the store, who said with a smile: "My lord, there is a girl downstairs looking for you." ”

Hearing that it was a girl, Ba Yi's first thought was Yugo, so he was naturally full of joy and asked the guy to invite the girl up.

Before long, the girl knocked on his door, but he didn't know, the girl was born slender and weak, even if she was heavily dressed, she was as delicate as a flower in the wind, which made people feel pity at first sight, and her eyebrows were sparse, and she did not apply fat powder, and her complexion was white, as white as Shengxuan, as if she had not seen the light all year round.

"I've seen adults, I'm Shangguan Yunyi."

The other party reported to his home, Ba Yi was stunned, although the two of them had been married by the emperor, they had never seen each other, and the side in the past was just Shangguan Yunyi hurriedly saluting from his house: "I've seen the princess." ”

Shangguan Yunyi stood across the threshold and smiled softly: "Didn't the adults invite me in?" ”

Ba Yi had to turn sideways and ask for it.

After Shangguan Yunyi came in, he didn't squint, but stood in the middle of the ground dignifiedly, and said, "I need to hurry back and forth, so there are some words that don't have to go around and around, I heard that adults want to refuse marriage." ”

Ba Yi was surprised, he wanted to refuse to marry, did the emperor say it to the Shangguan family? Nodding slightly, he spat out a single word: "Yes." ”

Shangguan Yunyi's smile was like a dried flower, but when he saw his smile, he couldn't see his smile, and said eloquently: "I came today to ask for help." ”

Although the two are married to the royal gift, they are not familiar with each other, and Ba Yi even saw her for the first time, because he heard her ask for help, and asked in surprise: "What does the princess command?" ”

Shangguan Yunyi said: "Please dispel the idea of refusing to marry, just help me." ”

Ba Yi raised his head and looked away: "Forgive me for not being able to agree to the princess's request." ”

Shangguan Yunyi hung his head suddenly, didn't know what to say for a while, was silent for a while, and suddenly fell short and knelt down.
