Chapter 269: Talking
Such a man is what a woman wants to marry the most.
Chen Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
"Little Master Chen, let's go too, Your Majesty is waiting." A general said respectfully on the side, interrupting Chen Qing's distraction.
Chen Qing nodded and turned over on his horse.
The emperor rewarded the barbarian army, and also rewarded the border army, it was they who blocked the southward movement of the Tartars, so that the inside and outside should be peaceful, in order to ensure the peace of the world, and everyone's credit is indispensable.
General Pingman and Chen Qing, the little son of the Wushun family, came to see him, this time he fought bravely and made miraculous achievements, and Lu Yan naturally came here in Shanxi.
The banquet is very rich, the atmosphere is very warm, the new and old generals gather together, the emperor and everyone reminisce about the past, there are many old ministers who are emotional and cry on the ground, the emperor is also a little excited, and finally everyone bows together, saying that the monarch is deeply gracious, and will be diligent and will work diligently to live up to the grace of God.
The banquet dispersed and withdrew from the imperial garden, and many people were still excited, talking while walking and talking.
Lu Yan fell behind, his face was gloomy, and many people who wanted to talk to him were dispelled by his expression.
"Relying on the emperor's grace, he is too young and too arrogant." Some veterans can't help but criticize.
Lu Yan entered Beijing this time, did not live in the residence arranged by the imperial court, but lived in the Beijing camp with the soldiers he brought, although he is now a border general, but for the court officials who are aware of the wind and grass, this is called Lu Yan's Taiyuan left general status is not only so, it is said that the military department has prepared his Shanxi deputy chief soldier documents to die, he has such a status at a young age, in addition to his own ability to fight well and repeatedly perform miraculous feats, but also shows the emperor's favor and reliance on this young man, which is obviously for the prince to build a right-hand man, the cultivation of important ministers who can protect the country.
So Lu Yan has not yet set foot in the capital, and the treatment he received along the way is higher than that of the general army, not to mention entering Beijing, the posts of banquet invitations to visit and talk have come like snowflakes.
But. Lu Yan pushed them all, and it is said that he only accepted the invitation of one official.
This official's surname is Sun, he used to be the head of the ministry, but with the son of heaven and a courtier, his position was replaced by a newcomer, and now he is a loose official in a Qingshui Yamen in the six departments. I heard that I was planning to resign, and I took my wife and children back to Shandong to retire but was dead.
I didn't expect news to come in the past few days, this official surnamed Sun was transferred to the Ministry of Officials, you must know that this position has been empty for half a year, and how many people have broken their heads, and they have fallen on this person who can't even think of breaking their heads.
Saying that this Sun official has the talent to explore flowers, and he has served as the head of the Ministry of Officials, he is familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and diligence and respectability are indispensable pillars. Linked to the only accepted banquet invitation, suddenly the originally deserted grassy threshold of Sun Shilang's house was about to be broken almost overnight.
Of course, this makes many people unconvinced. Among them, some important ministers of the court were very dissatisfied and worried about a military general's interference in the appointment of civil officials in the court.
But the emperor smiled and said only one sentence.
"General Lu is an honest man, and the person recommended by the honest man is naturally also an honest man, and what is lacking in the position of the official department is an honest man.
The intention of maintenance was undisguised, so no one said a word more, and it is said that the prince's father-in-law also plotted this position for his relatives. After being robbed, he ran to the prince in a hurry to complain about his grievances, and finally gave up.
"Xiao Chen Ye is becoming more and more like an old man, and this time he defeated the three camps of thieves. It's a pleasure. Someone suddenly praised Chen Qing.
Chen Qing walked among people, although he was not as rejecting people as Lu Yan was thousands of miles away, but he was also silent, but he was born as a son, no matter what thoughts he had in his heart, he still maintained his demeanor on his face.
"Don't dare." He immediately said modestly.
"This Li thief is fierce and cruel no less than a Tartar, I heard that this Li Changsan is not good at drinking, and he is very good at winning people's hearts with his subordinates, not to be underestimated, Xiao Chen Ye can win this battle." Someone hurriedly complimented.
Chen Qing didn't say anything, and Lu Yan, who had been following behind, snorted.
"Its thieves and rabble, but the southern army is greedy for life and afraid of death to avoid war, so it has developed its current arrogance, thinking that it is invincible in the world, but it is outside...."Lu Yan said in a deep voice, hesitated for a moment, and happily said a word that had not been studied for a long time, "It's just that the outside is strong and the middle is dry." ”
"What does Lord Lu mean that the credit for defeating the Li thief cannot be compared with the victory over the Tartar?" As soon as Lu Yan's words fell, someone said coldly.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he did have this meaning in his words, although the real meaning was just that he couldn't hear Li Changsan's three words.
The gaze around him became more complicated, mocking, gloating, and disgusting.
Lu Yan smiled.
"I didn't mean that, as for what you think, it's up to you." He looked at the man who had just spoken, and said lightly.
His tone was peaceful, and his expression was not angry, but he glanced at the man deeply, but it made the man shiver unconsciously, and he didn't say anything more when he came to his mouth.
"Lord Lu has a point." Chen Qing opened his mouth to speak, breaking the deadlock, "Li Chang's three thieves, every time they break a city, they will do their best to destroy, so they can only attack the city but not defend the city, and they can't build a foundation, even if there are many followers, in the end they are just rogues, as long as we are not afraid of their bravado, brave and brave to fight, their thieves will be crushed for thousands of miles." ”
Everyone smiled and agreed, and cast a look at Lu Yan to see what everyone's demeanor was.
Lu Yan didn't pay any attention to it.
"It's easy to say anything, it's not easy to really do it, Lord Lu is so brave, he should really go to the south in person, maybe he can kill Thief Li in one fell swoop and kill him alive." Someone said in a weird way.
"That's right." Lu Yan looked at him and nodded solemnly, "I will definitely go, I'm really glad that Li Changsan is not dead, so that I can kill him with my own hands." ”
What is this called, everyone was stunned, and then saw that Lu Yan had already strode away.
"It's so unbelievable.."
"What a reckless man.."
Everyone came back to their senses and shook their heads in condemnation, but Du Chen Qing still smiled and said nothing.
"Why does this Lord Lu seem to be targeting Xiao Chen?" Someone whispered in the back.
"You don't know yet, this Lu Yan and Xiao Chen Ye have a vendetta." Someone replied in a low voice, "The hatred of taking a wife." ”
As soon as this remark came out, a large number of people were surprised, everyone knew that Lu Yan was married, but Chen Qing was not yet married. It couldn't be more obvious who took who's wife.
"What? How can it be? ”
"Really? No wonder Xiao Chen Ye hasn't married yet, so that's the case.."
"This Lu Yan is so arrogant and reckless, at first glance, he is the master of the marriage of bad people..."
Chen Qing had already walked away and didn't hear the discussion here, but he quickly stood up and watched a group of women swaying across the street.
Lu Yan was passing there, and at this time he turned sideways to avoid and bowed his head to salute.
The group of women stopped. One of the tall men looked at Lu Yan a few times, and seemed to speak, but the distance was far away, and everyone couldn't hear it, and soon the woman walked away, and Lu Yan also walked away and strode out of the palace gate.
The team quickly walked up to Chen Qing and the others.
The woman at the head is about twenty-four or five years old, but she is dressed up for home practice, dignified and beautiful, and has a good demeanor.
"Weichen Chen Qing has seen Princess Huairou." Chen Qing Shili said.
Others also signed up to pay their respects.
This daughter is the youngest daughter of the emperor, and was formerly titled the lord of Huairou County. As her father changed from a prince to an emperor, she naturally changed from a county lord to a princess. However, the marriage of this county lord is not good, her husband died of illness two years ago, and now she is widowed.
Princess Huairou returned the salute with a smile: "My father works hard for state affairs day and night, and you have to worry about your father." ”
Everyone was busy giving salutes and said they didn't dare.
Princess Huairou is more familiar with Chen Qing. So I spoke a few more words to him.
"Who is that adult?" She asked suddenly, pursing her lips and smiling, "I'm not happy." Was he reprimanded by his father? I said a few words to him, but he didn't answer, and he didn't have a self-registration number.."
Talking to the royal nobles, self-registration is the first etiquette, this ignorant and vulgar reckless man... And they despised it in their hearts.
"It's Lu Yan, the left staff general of Taiyuan, Shanxi." Chen Qing replied with a smile.
"Oh, he's Lu Yan." Princess Huairou looked surprised, "Hey, it's not that it looks scared to death."
This made everyone want to laugh.
Princess Huairou also noticed that she was rude, and she laughed herself, and said a few more kind words and went to the imperial garden.
Chen Qing and the others waited for the princess to walk past before continuing to move forward, and soon went out of the palace gate, but saw that Lu Yan was still there, talking to a man.
The man was dressed in a down-of-the-beaten, his beard was scattered, and he fluttered from time to time in the autumn wind, looking very embarrassed.
Can a beggar come to the palace gate? Everyone couldn't help but mutter.
Master Liu was already very angry at this time, and when he saw Lu Yan raising his feet to leave, he reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Uncle, even the matchmaker's house went there, why didn't you go to your own house?" He gritted his teeth and said, as long as he thought of this, he was out of breath, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of a number of dignitaries and dignitaries who had never been in contact with him to hand over posts with the intention of intersecting, he wouldn't have known that Lu Yan had entered Beijing.
It's just a matter of entering Beijing, the key is that after inquiring, I know that this Lu Yan has now achieved the position of a general, this kind of promotion speed is really unprecedented, and then the family suddenly realized that this is a favored minister covered by the emperor, and even if he heard about the matter of Master Sun.
What kind of thing is the surname Sun, just a matchmaker, so he easily found such a good position, and he, the serious Liu family, his uncle Lu Yan's daughter-in-law, is mixed with a begging person, such an act of ignoring his family and relatives, is he not afraid of being punctured in the backbone when he says it?
Lu Yan glanced at him when he heard this.
"Why? Because they let me in, and you didn't let me in. He said lightly.
Master Liu's face was ugly.
"As the saying goes, bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law, raise your head to marry a daughter, and asking for marriage is originally to keep your voice down, we are also in order to let my girl choose a good family, so naturally we have to carefully pick and choose, do you still hate us because of this, this is unreasonable." He said with plastic surgery.
Lu Yan smiled.
"I'm not jealous of you." He said, it's just that his daughter-in-law doesn't like them, and if his daughter-in-law doesn't like them, he naturally doesn't like them...
The word daughter-in-law flashed in his heart, and Lu Yan only felt that his heart hurt suddenly, and it seemed to shrink into a ball, so painful that he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his heart.
