Chapter 8 Sincerity
Early the next morning, Liu Ye prepared a generous gift and went to Jidian Mansion to ask for a meeting, but unexpectedly, the family in the house said that the master was not there and would not be able to come back until the evening.
This is very likely to be Ji Di's excuse, but Liu Ye insisted on waiting for him to come back, and after waiting for about two hours, Ji Di still refused to see her, Feng Yan's patience gradually reached the limit, she was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, she was afraid that Ye Er would be bullied.
Seeing that the tea that had been changed a few times was cold again, Feng Yan was so angry that she got up: "What a captain, the princess has to make it difficult to ask for a meeting in person, is there any ...... respect and humility in his eyes?"
"Little sister......" Liu Ye held Feng Yan's hand and smiled disappreciatively, "Don't worry, wait a little longer......"
"But......" Feng Yan saw the resoluteness in Liu Ye's eyes, and sat down helplessly.
After another hour, the housekeeper slowly told them that Master Ji had returned.
Not to mention whether Ji Di is really absent in these few hours, just look at how sloppy his servants are, and you can know how unimportant Princess Xie Wei is in their eyes.
If this was another princess, she would have gone long ago, and cried in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and she had to tell him that he had to divide the corpse of the five horses, who would really wait until now, waiting to see his arrogant appearance.
Ji Di was wearing loose civilian clothes, his thin figure was even thinner, his gray hair was tied in a bun on his head, and his long eyebrows covered his eyes, so he couldn't see what he looked like. He walked in the door and yawned lazily, Liu Ye called "Master Ji", he just bowed his head and did not return the salute.
The more Feng Yan looked at it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Lord Ji, this is the princess of the Relief Worries, Your Majesty asks you to teach the princess the language of the Western Regions and court etiquette." ”
Ji Di sat down by himself, yawned again, and then looked at Liu Ye: "Princess Jiewu, the old man is not talented, except for knowing a few words, etiquette or anything really doesn't understand, I'm afraid I have to ask Lord Li of Yuefu for advice." ”
"What do you mean by that? The princess asked to see us personally, and you want to send us away without saying a word? Feng Yan stared at the big black and white eyes, and said indignantly, "The princess respects you first, how can you be so rude?" ”
Ji Di stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "Of course, if the princess is interested in learning the language of the Western Regions, the old man can teach it, alas, I am afraid that it is useless to learn it, and it will be a waste of time." ”
"You ...... man"
This Ji Di is indeed an upright person, although it is not easy to get along with, but he is not a traitor. Liu Ye was not angry or annoyed when he was snubbed, but admired him a little, and then stepped forward to bow to Ji Di: "Master, please let me relieve my worries and ask for advice or two, I am about to marry the Western Regions, why is it useless to learn the language of the Western Regions?" ”
Ji Di narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said: "The rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty were made, not by the love of children and daughters. Back then, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to persuade Wusun Kunmo to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, and Princess Xijun was as confident as you before leaving, but what happens after you go, even if you learn the language of the Western Regions, it is difficult to communicate, it was originally a political marriage, what feelings can you have! ”
"Moreover, there is a custom in the countries of the Western Regions, 'wife and stepmother, report widow and sister-in-law', for them, women are just tools for inheritance, and they don't care about ethics and morality at all, who can endure that kind of shame among women in the Han family! Even if they succumb to hatred, they are not understood by the Han people, and they have to be counted shamelessly! Princess Xijun died depressed, not only His Majesty was sad, but the old man was also really sad! It's a pity, it's a pity, they end up dying in a foreign land, but they don't get the respect they deserve. ”
"According to the old man's view, the princesses of the past dynasties who were friendly were not as good as Wei Qing and Huo Quai's battle, so if the Han Dynasty wants to be strong, it must rely on force, not peace!"
Liu Ye listened carefully to what he said, and nodded approvingly: "What the master said is extremely true, and he thinks the same way to solve his worries. ”
Ji Di was slightly surprised, leaned forward slightly, and listened to her continue: "After Uncle Huang succeeded to the throne, he launched several wars against the Western Regions, and the largest one dispatched more than 100,000 troops to completely conquer Dawan. However, the Western Regions are too vast, and it is really difficult to supply in all aspects, if we can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and keep the existing achievements, I am afraid that the efforts of General Wei and General Huo will be wasted. ”
"Now, the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are facing each other, if Wusun and Kangju can return to our dynasty, they will be able to take the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Master, the Xiongnu have threatened the safety of our people for hundreds of years, and the emperors of all dynasties have not wanted to get rid of them quickly, and the two countries are inevitably at war, but if the harm of war can be minimized, it will be considered a fortunate thing! I think this is also the original intention of Lord Zhang, even if Sister Xijun dies in a foreign land, she will eventually return to her homeland. ”
Xie Wei knows that this trip is a difficult task, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xie Wu will definitely not give up. If we can help our dynasty subdue the Huns, it will be in vain. ”
Liu Ye was neither humble nor arrogant to express his intentions, Ji Di could not hide his shock, and slowly got up and said, "You, do you really think so?" ”
"Solve your worries, although you can't cross the battlefield, you can also protect your family and defend the country in your own way, as for being misinterpreted and insulted, it's all a matter of hindsight."
Ji Di was dumbfounded, and suddenly, he gave Liu Ye a great gift to the monarch and minister: "Princess Jiewu, she is really a heroine among women!" The old man is willing to pass on what he has learned all his life, and may I realize my great cause as soon as possible! ”
Ji Di is very knowledgeable, Liu Ye has benefited a lot, and the master and apprentice have similar tempers, but they are very compatible. In contrast, Li Yannian let Liu Ye touch the nail several times in succession, and every time he went to Yuefu, he couldn't see anyone.
Shanglin Yuan was far away from where they lived, and Feng Yan often asked the palace maids to inquire about Li Yannian's itinerary and make sure that he was going to Yuefu, but they didn't expect that even so, they still flew in the air again and again.
"Everyone in the palace said that the Li brothers and sisters are deeply favored by His Majesty, and it seems that this is really the case!" Feng Yan waited for the palace maid of Yuefu to report, for fear that she would return again this time, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for Ye'er, "The day of harmony is coming, this Lord Li is really angry, in my opinion, it is better to find another gentleman!" ”
Everyone has a seed of gossip in their hearts, but Liu Ye knows what to say and what not to say, she shook her head: "This is not appropriate, even if we intend to find other gentlemen, it is not good to go against the will of the imperial uncle." ”
The two whispered and discussed, and there were bursts of beautiful piano sounds in Yuefu, clear as a mountain stream and a clear spring, tactful as a yellow warbler singing, Liu Ye listened attentively, and couldn't help but enter Yuefu.
"Huh? Could it be that Master Li is here today, and I finally waited for him. Hearing that Li Yannian's piano skills were outstanding, he knew that it was so wonderful when he heard it with his own ears, Feng Yan was overjoyed and quickly followed Liu Ye.
